Claim 2: “This is 8% higher than in the first quarter of 2025.”
MISLEADING
The claim states revenue is 8% higher than in the first quarter of 2025. However, the evidence provided in the web search results mentions events in 2026 (e.g., 'first quarter of 2026', 'May 2026'). This suggests the 'current' period is 2026, making a comparison to 2025 logical, but the phrasing in the claim is confusing or potentially contains a typo regarding the year of comparison relative to the reporting date.

Claim 3: “Its share in the overall revenue structure reached 79.2%, compared with 70.5% in January-March 2025.”
