Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source. Hundreds of millions are to be used to settle. So 11.567 billion and 11.543 are considered same. To calculate the differences and ratios, only the first decimal from the amount in billions is to be used. So if 11.567 and 8.654 are reported, the calculation would be 11.5 / 8.6 = 1.279 which means it would by higher by 28.9%

sharon91977: will this ever get settled? :) 
cici: no source, but it has been sitting this way for weeks, dead, but we refuse to bury it. 
elly: This question has been suspended for 3 months now.
It has to be settled or voided.

The report said revenues are expected to total 8.6 billion euros and net profit is predicted to be more than 11 billion.
The magazine said profits stem mainly from the new valuation of Porsche's 31 percent shareholding in VW as well as financial derivatives linked with the VW shares.
Porsche said in mid-July when it released its 10-months results that profit developments at VW and the derivative instruments linked with Porsche's plans to increase its shareholding in VW in the future would have a "significant" influence on its overall profit situation for the business year."
