fullyear

Fullyear is a term used in finance and business reporting to refer to the entire year, whether calendar year or a company’s fiscal year. It is commonly used in phrases such as fullyear results, fullyear revenue, or fullyear guidance to denote metrics that cover the whole annual period rather than a subset like a quarter.

Orthography and style vary. The more conventional form is full-year (hyphenated) or simply full year. Fullyear appears less often and is sometimes seen in databases, software fields, or as a brand-like label. When used, the context usually clarifies that it relates to the annual period rather than the length of the year itself.

Ambiguity can arise between calendar year and fiscal year. In corporate reporting, fullyear numbers may reflect the company’s fiscal year if the company reports fullyear data for a given year and that year is not aligned to the calendar year. Readers should consult accompanying notes to confirm the period definition.

Typical applications include financial results announcements, investor presentations, and annual forecasts. Metrics commonly described as fullyear include revenue, net income, earnings per share, and operating margin. The term helps distinguish annual performance from quarterly or year-to-date figures.
