French term or phrase: dégager des revenues
Hi,

In a table I have column with "remuneration" in and under which are the names of a brand and partners, and in the other column I have "description": Brand X dégage des revenus sur la vente des licences etc

Is it Brand X generates revenues on the sales of licences?

This brand is a manufacturer of biometric readers

Thank you

@ loulou: Yes, your attempt is fine, except that it would be singular "revenue" (or "income") in English. ;-)
