ボトムラインの△200億円は大きくはずれないと思う

This is the statement of a company executive responding to a question posed by an investor representative.

Does it mean he thinks the company will have a loss of 20 billion or does it mean he thinks the company's bottom line earnings will decline by 20 billion compared to the prior year?

Ball park figure is 20 billion Yen loss (or red)

説明：
In other words, "guestimation is loss of 20 billion Yen".
To address asker's comment to cinefil answer .... any figure cited in a context like this is, normally, in comparison with last year's figure.

As I commented to Soonthon the comparison could be from "forecasted figure". Asker's context should clarify this.

Note to reference poster

質問者： Hi, yes, I already understand the delta mark means "minus." What I don't understand is what it is minus from, last year's amount, or break-even.

質問者： The executive was making a lot of deliberately vague statements, so I am not surprised at your answer. It could be that the company was already in the red and the loss will be even worse by 20 billion yen. the "の" in ボトムラインの△200億円 seems to hint at this. What do you think?
