agree  Colin Rowe: or "sales revenues". Depending on context, Schäfer also offers "turnover" (GB) and "gross annual receipts".
27 mins
  -> I don't normally like Schäfer for accounting terminology - it doesn't differentiate between specific accounting terms and general business terms
agree  Ted Wozniak: w/ Steffen

agree  RobinB: Or sales. Or revenue. Or sales revenue. etc. @colin rowe: Schäfer is simply wrong with "gross annual receipts" - that's just rubbish.

proceeds on turnover


Explanation:
Bit more context might be useful. Could be sales revenue/sales proceeds. What does the company do?

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Steffen Walter: Nope, there's no such thing as "proceeds from turnover". Umsatzerlöse = Umsatz, and the translation will depend on the accounting standards applied, as Alison points out.

  -> Oh well, so much for one of the largest and best known German-English ecomonics dictionaries.
neutral  Alison Schwitzgebel: Alan: what dictionary is that? // H/W is a general business dictionary, not an accounting dictionary. And I strongly suspect that this is an accounting term as it is from an annual report.
30 mins
  -> H/W Großwörterbuch Wirtschaftsenglisch. Aber es hilft vermutlich nicht, dass ich mich hier nicht auskenne. Ich habe das WB nur für gelegentliche Hilfestellung in andere Texte.
