revenue reducing costs
Explanation:
Es gibt einen subtilen Unterschied zwischen Erlös und Gewinn. Der Gewinn errechnet sich aus dem Erlös abzüglich der Herstellungskosten und der indirekten Kosten. So sind erlösmindernde Kosten zwar immer auch gewinnmindernd aber nicht alle gewinnmindernden Kosten reduzieren auch den Erlös.

agree  Edward L. Crosby III: That's what the German says, but how are *revenues* reduced by business costs? The profit margin would certainly be affected that way, but revenue is just the money received for a good or service.

  -> There are several factors that might reduce the revenue, e.g. the current dollar value or discounts.

Explanation:
costs which adversely impact revenue
costs adversely affecting revenue
costs with an adverse impact on revenue

I'd rather go for revenue here as profit (or earnings, for that matter) is usually equivalent to "Gewinn" or "(Betriebs)ergebnis".
