first two quarters / first six months / semester / of the financial year
Explanation:
Ako je već riječ o financijama, onda je uobičajeni pojam koji se koristi za poslovne rezultate "QUARTER".

Npr.: In the first quarter of the financial year - in Quarter 1 of the financial year, koji se često puta skraćuje na "Q1" of 2007, "Q1 Financial Results" - Financijski rezultati obično se objavljuju svaka 3 mjeseca, pa imamo rezultate za First Quarter, Second Quarter, Third Quarter..., te na polugodištu s kumuliranim poslovnim rezultatima za prvih šest mjeseci...

U Europi se koristi i "semester" ali prema dostupnim izorima na Internetu, radi se uglavnom o tvrtkama izvan engleskog govornog područja ili o tvrtkama iz Kanade.

Primjeri za quarter:
Financijski rezultati Google-a: http://investor.google.com/releases/2007Q2.html
"As a result, Woolworth s financial statements for the first three quarters of fiscal 1993 were materially misstated."

"Operating results: (...) Third quarter 1994 natural gas prices were lower than the first two quarters due to a weakening of natural gas market prices which commenced at the end of the first quarter of 1994."

Explanation:
Ako je u pitanju sumiranje rezultata za prvo polugodište neke poslovne godine i sl., može da se upotrebi -half annual-; mada je i -half year of the busines year u redu!
U svakom slučaju, mogla bi da nam pružiš neki kontekst, kako bismo mogli bolje da ti pomognemo...

Example sentence(s):
  • The half-annual report of our company's budget...
  • During the first business half-year...
