French term or phrase: revenus des Réseaux France
« Dans un contexte de hausse des taux réglementé et de marché financier dégradé, le groupe anticipe dorénavant une croissance des revenus des Réseaux France comprise entre 1 % et 2 % (hors effet de la provision PEL/CEL et plus-value Euronext) sur l’ensemble de l’année 2008. »

English translation:revenue (growth) of/at the distribution networks in France
Explanation:
Réseaux France is just SG's name for its retail banking arm in France, which comprises two separate dénominations sociales (SG and Crédit du Nord).
SG itself translates all its other division names; see link. These networks are part of its Retail Banking & Specialized Financial Services division.
I would simply substitute a lowercase translation, but if the term occurs repeatedly in the text, set it up by adding, e.g., "(Réseaux France)" for subsequent use of the French name.

Explanation:
Réseaux France is a proper name. So are you just asking what "revenus" means?

I believe that it is the proper name, within whatever company is the subject of this document, of their French network of branches. One would retain the French, with a brief explanation in square brackets, or translator's note.

Another example:

"Le groupe Société Générale dispose de 2 réseaux de distribution complémentaires : Société Générale et Crédit du Nord. Il compte 9,4 millions de clients particuliers et 2 997 agences à fin décembre 2007.

"Les Réseaux France ont poursuivi leur politique de croissance en 2007, avec l’ouverture nette de 71 agences et une progression du stock de comptes à vue de +2,6 %, soit 160 400 ouvertures de comptes."

Finding a direct ref to SG was serendipitous. Though probably googling Réseaux France with Euronext would have revealed that. Hope there is no breach of client confidentiality here.
