Report to be

Hi

They reported the results to be zero.
They reported the results as zero.
They reported the results being zero.
They reported that the results were zero.

Are any of these right? I think the last one might be, but I'm not sure about the others.

Thanks!

I find all to be correct, except that the third would be better with a comma after ‘results’. My preference would be the fourth version.
