Not disclosed by the source

These figures were looked for in the company’s reports and are not published. It is not data Veta IQ lacks: it is what the checked source does not report.

The output figures are those of Cochilco's monthly table and yearbook, at 100% of the operation. The 12-month totals, the year-to-date figures and the changes are our own sums and differences on those figures. The sentences of this page are assembled from them: no language model is involved.
