Umsatzträger
revenue and earnings drivers


Explanation:
or "sales" for Umsatz.

It's important, obviously, to get the "Gewinn" in there too, as there's a big, big difference between revenue and earnings.

BTW, I suggest you change the question to \"Umsatz- und Gewinnträger\".

I take mine back (even though I think it works) and mix the other answers because I agree with RobinB about \"profit\" needing to be incorporated:

\"key revenue and profit generators\"

If you should take this suggestion, I shouldn\'t get the credit.
