English term or phrase: 59,3 M (Abkürzung M)
Hi,
es geht hier um einen Wirtschafts-/Finanztext. Bei der Abkürzung 'M' bin ich mir unsicher, welcher Betrag gemeint ist. Wem ist die Abkürzung geläufig? Danke!!!

Total revenues amounted € 59.3M in February which was € 4.0M below last year or minus 6.3%.
The aggressive campaign started in the beginning of this year in Germany to acquire and reactivate customers continued. As a result of this the revenues in Germany were “only” 2.8% below last year. As reported last month these kinds of campaigns go with additional catalog and premium expenses. This had a negative impact in our profit and loss statement but have to be seen as an investment in the future. The challenge is to retain these "New" customers and have them order again with us in the near future. Specific actions are in place to get the best possible new business volume from these customers.
