in constant terms Explanation: turnover or sales can be down overall but taking into account the same items as for the previous year or quarter or yardstick, they could be up. The terms can be the currency or the items that were sold. If in the year they are looking at, they are selling OTHER items, it's down but removing those and then comparing, it's up. |
