This is not my language combination but a colleague who works in EN-DE is in need of help. This appears as a bullet point under "Hauptaufgaben" on somebody's CV. Actually, we cannot make sense of the entire sentence. We think FBP might be Federal Business Practices... but "committed bottom-line results" is a mystery
The person's position is:
"Lead PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY X Finance & Administration Department"
And one of her tasks is:
"Make sure that Company delivers the FBP and updates *committed bottom-line result*"
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Since he worked in a "lead pharmaceutical company" there are at least quarterly statements, internally such companies are reporting on a monthly basis

Novartis and Roche, the big ones here in the pharma triangle are regularly reporting on a quarterly basis and so are the dozens of offsprings.

| Thank you for your fast response - how would "update" fit into this context - what do they mean, surely the profit and loss statement comes out once a year...? |
| Wonderful, thank you. |

vereinbarten/zugesagten Mindestergebnisse
man kan sogar sagen "die committeten Ergebnisse", der Begriff hat sich uimgangssprachlich zumindest bereits etabliert

OK Herr Liepert hat recht. Mindestergebnis ist schlecht ausgedrückt....es geht um ein Ergebnis, was zugesagt wurde, also das Minimum dessen was erreicht werden soll. Vielleicht besser umschreibbar mit "vereinbarte Ziele", es gibt ja auch die berühmten Zielvereinbarungsgespräche an denen besagte Committments gemacht werden....

vereinbarte Geschäftsergebnisse
oder Umsatz- und Gewinnergebnisse. /update/ ist was anderes als /einhalten/ und müsste schon mit übersetzt werden. (aktualisieren bzw. fortschreiben) Reingewinn kann ich in dem Begriff /bottom line results/ nicht entdecken. Vermute eher, dass die Formulierung hier viel allgemeiner ist.

| Thanks Sabine, it makes sense - but we ended up using Hans' term. |
