French term

CA and Rex

French to English Bus/Financial
It is a business figure. Somebody knows its meaning?
Ex.:
Même si le résultat de la fin de l'année 2001 a été plus faible que nous l'avions prévu, les mesures prises dès le premier semestre nous ont permis d'anticiper la forte dégradation conjoncturelle tant aux Etats-Unis qu'en Europe.
Les Etats-Unis ont réalisé 21,2% du CA, et 6,5% du Rex : la société aurait réalisé +11,2% de croissance du Rex, hors Amérique du Nord.
