[Star Wars] What did the Imperial after action reports look like after the Battle of Hoth?

On the one hand, the Empire scattered a Rebel encampment.

On the other, they had several Star Destroyers disabled by ion cannon fire, lost several AT-AT walkers in the ground assault, didn't manage to capture or kill Skywalker or Princess Organa, two of the Rebellion's most famous heroes, and then to cap it all off had several more Star Destroyers damaged due to friendly collision and lost an entire Star Destroyer bridge to asteroid impact plus additional damage to the fleet suffered during the unsuccessful pursuit of the Millennium Falcon after the battle.

All in all, Hoth looks like a pretty major cock up from a strategic standpoint. How do the officers report on all of that to the top brass? How does Vader explain all of that to the Emperor?

Pretty easy. Admiral ozzel cocked it all up by exiting hyperspace too close to the planet. The rebels were alerted and able to scramble some of their forces off world. It's still a major victory for the empire but not a complete one. Ozzel is already dead so any and all blame for the tactical situation would be put on him rather than those participated in the battle. And losing a few AT-ATs and troopers is an easy trade for crippling the rebellion and capturing it's leaders.
