English term or phrase: like-for-like sales

Treba mi prevod ovog termina na srpski u kontekstu navedenom ispod:

Like-for-like sales (ex-VAT and fuel) down 0.9% (11/12: up 2.2%).

Nailazim samo na sledeći "prevod" - like-for-like prodaja, ali se nadam da će neko ipak moći da predloži adekvatan ekvivalent na srpskom.

Reference information:
Like for like
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Like for like (LFL) growth is a measure of growth in sales, adjusted for new or divested businesses. This is a widely used indicator of retailers' current trading performance.
--[1] The adjustment is important in businesses that show a significant dynamic of expansion, disposals or closures.
--[2] To compare sales figures from different periods is only meaningful, as a measure of the effectiveness of the sales function, when using the same basis for measurement.

One method compares the latest year's sales only to those from activities or locations that were in effect the previous year as well. This method would ignore sales that were only possible this year, for reasons such as a merger or acquisition or the launch of a new product or store.

However, there is a significant choice of alternative methods of calculation, which makes it difficult to compare figures quoted by different retailers.[1]

Comparing this year's sales to last year's sales by looking at the current sales derived only from activities that were in effect the previous year as well. This method would ignore sales that were only possible this year, for reasons such as a merger or acquisition or the development or launch of a new product. The portion of current sales achieved through activities that are comparable to the activities of the previous year. Investopedia explains Like-For-Like Sales. Using like-for-like sales is a method of valuation that attempts to exclude any effects of expansion, acquisition, or other events that artificially enlarge the company's sales. For example, if you are trying to compare the turnover of company ABC from this year to last year, it makes sense to exclude from the equation any sales resulting from acquisitions this year.

Like-For-Like Sales

What is a 'Like-For-Like Sales'

Like-for-like sales is an adjusted measurement of a company's revenue growth. This comparison of current and prior period sales takes into consideration only those activities that were in effect during both time periods. Like-for-like sales is a method of valuation that attempts to exclude any effects of expansion, acquisition or any other event that artificially enlarge a company's sales.

Like-for-like sales help companies and investors determine the sales performance over a certain period of time when compared to the same period of time one year earlier, such as comparing the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2011. Like-for-like sales are typically represented as percentage growth rates. For example, Burberry Group plc reported a 3% decline in like-for-like sales in the first quarter of 2016.

IOW
the point is to compare what is comparable:

is a chain got rid (or acquired) say 20 stores, a "like for like" sales will compare the evolution of sales ONLY from remaining (or already existing) stores

or if there are strong seasonal variations, you have to compare sales in the current season with the sales during the same season in the previous year.
