Japanese term or phrase: 前同比
This is a heading from a table regarding sales targets... does it mean something along the lines of 'comparison with last year's sales/figures'?

Thanks very much

English translation:% compared with the same period last (year)
Explanation:
I'm not confident with my English if this is the best way to put this. I think it probably means 前年同期比率.
