Dutch term or phrase: good voor revenue van
This phrase appears in an email message concerning various mergers and acquisitions:

"De contracten zijn getekend door M.V. en J.K., CEO van ABC. Onze vraag was of deze laatste dezelfde firma is als XYZ, de vennootschap waarmee DEF een verkoopovereenkomst afgesloten heeft in 19XX, ***goed voor revenue van $XX mio***."

Does this mean the company is worth $XX million in revenues?

... which accounts for $XX million in income.
Explanation:
My impression is that this refers to the sales agreement concluded between DEF and XYZ. In that event, the above would be my suggested translation of "goed voor
revenu(e) van SXX million".

As for David\'s comment: This company has turnover/ sales/ equity/ rental income/ investment income/ tax owing/ accumulated losses/ generates profit of / amounting to, etc., etc. I am sure most native speakers familiar with financial texts and jargon will know exactly what I mean.

revenue


Explanation:
The word revenu is only very rarely used in Dutch. But it has indeed the same meaning as revenue in English.

which accounts for a revenue of $xx


Explanation:
It would appear that the author likes the word "revenue" as he/she has used the correct English spelling, I would therefore be reluctant to replace it with another word.

good for revenue of / worth ... in revenue


Explanation:
"to be good for revenue of $xxx" is perfectly good English, if a little colloquial. You could also simply use "worth".

-> "Our question is whether the latter company is the same company as XYZ, who DEF concluded a sale agreement with in 19xx worth $xx million in revenue."
