English term or phrase: 2020e
I have a text here peppered with references to years with the lowercase letter e placed after them without a gap.

Here's one of many examples:

"B2C Mobile business to break even in 2020e"

Does the "e" indicate "end of year"

2020 (geschätzt)
Explanation:
I think that this means "2020 (estimated)". Rather obvious, since you cannot have accurate numbers for the future.

Thanks for your contribution. I didn't think the answer was obvious though, as the e could have stood for several things (including end of year). Of course it is obvious once you know the answer! :)

Asker: Hi Johanna, Thank you very much for your answer, which I appreciate. I had to accept one of the two answers and thus had to go with the first one. I appreciate your effort very much though. It was very useful.
