revenues
- 1Plural of revenue.
Government revenues fell sharply during the recession.
The firm reported record revenues across all three divisions.
Note
A plural that the singular often does without: revenue works perfectly well as a mass noun (revenue rose), and the -s form appears when separate income streams or separately reported figures are being counted, as in tax revenues or revenues across divisions. In business writing, check which measure is meant, since revenue can name total sales or net income from normal operations, and the plural carries the same ambiguity.
