Revenue growth rate

How much more (or less) the company sold than a year earlier.

Revenue growth = (revenue this year ÷ revenue last year) − 1

Revenue growth is the most basic sign of whether a business is getting bigger. The figure here compares the last twelve months with the twelve months before.

One year can be distorted by acquisitions, currency moves and price changes. The five-year average and the per-segment numbers on each company's revenue breakdown page show whether growth is broad or depends on one product.
