Japanese term or phrase: 前年同規模比
「月度の獲得数が前年同規模比xx%」

The 獲得数 refers to new customers acquired by a retailer. My feeling is that 前年同規模比 is something along the lines of "on a year-on-year same-store basis," with 規模 referring to to scale of their store operations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
