## Reported figures

- 8,3 milliards de dollars
- 7,45 milliards d'euros
- 8,9 milliards

## Coverage angles

The coverage differs mainly in framing: on the left, the emphasis is on record profits as social injustice and the notion of "war profiteers"; in the centre, on the figures, economic causes and the company's communication.

**Common ground**

- TotalEnergies is about to publish or announces quarterly results with a record profit.
- The articles place these results in a context of fuel price surge or oil crisis.

**Differences**

- On the left, profits are associated with speculation and the figure of the "war profiteer"; in the centre, they are explained by the oil crisis and the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
- The centre mentions TotalEnergies' communication on its price cap and the protection of purchasing power; the left text does not mention it and emphasizes the impact on the working classes.
- The profit amount differs across articles: 8.9 billion at Révolution Permanente, versus 8.3 billion dollars or 7.45 billion euros in the centre.
