"switch"is not too specific so covers a multitude

change in OIBDA performance
Change best translates "cambio de signo", but it could also be an adjustment in OIBDA performance.

: Errr... 'change' translates as 'cambio' - but 'cambio de signo' is something more than a mere 'change' - it implies a change from a negative-going trend to a positive-going trend (or vice versa).

: Yes - except that 'reversal' has a negative connotation when actually the results were actually improving.

I understand your objection, but it is not necessarily so, it just means "opposite". See the added note to my answer.
