Spanish term or phrase: realizar un volumen de ventas
esta expresión aparece en el informe de auditoría de las cuentas anuales consolidadas de una empresa en el siguiente párrafo:

"Sin que afecte a nuestra opinión de auditoría, llamamos la atención respecto de lo señalado en la nota 25 de la Memoria adjunta, en la que se menciona que el Grupo realiza un volumen importante de sus ventas a un único cliente.

¿se podría traducir por "The Group sells an important quantity of its sales/products to an only customer"?
