Explanation:
would be another way of putting it, although admittedly it might not work so well if the "centrale" comes up often your text.

NB: although "bilan" is, strictly speaking, the balance sheet, I've seen it used more than once in a loser sense of "annual accounts" or "financial statements" generally (these consisting of more than just a balance sheet, of course).
