Savings as a result
An estimate for TfL puts the savings as a result at more than £130m per year. (The Guardian.)
Is "as a result" a complement in the noun phrase "savings as a result" or is "as a result" an adjunct in the sentence above?

This is not a great sentence, in my opinion. I think "as a result" is supposed to be modfiying "savings", so "savings as a result" is a noun phrase. It would be better to say "resulting savings".
