French term or phrase: avant participation
I have seen this term used (seemingly in the same way) but with "avant participation des salariés".

Here is how it occurs in my text:

La marge opérationnelle cède 4,4 points (3,9 points avant participation) pour s’établir à 11,7% (vs 16,1% l’exercice dernier).
