English translation:fiscal year ending (US), financial year ending (Brit.)
Explanation:
Your proposed translation of the whole sentence is good.

The US Engl. vs Brit. Engl. distinction is made by the Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary among others. However, the line between the two phrases is not hard and fast, and in the US, for instance, both are used.

neutral  Pablo Julián Davis: 'ejercicio anual', though, means fiscal or financial year

agree  Charles Davis: Pablo Julián is right, but I think in context "year ending" would be enough, actually.

year ended / fiscal year ended


Explanation:
The difference between year ended vs. year ending is as follows:

"Year ended" refers to a year that has already ended. Observe the "ed" ending of the past participle form.

"Year ending" refers to a year that has not ended yet, or to a future year that has not started. Observe the "ing" gerund form.
