Financial Statement
In a document describing a company, there is a table called "PRINCIPAIS INDICADORES ECONOMICO FINANCEIROS – CONSOLIDADO". In this table there is a list of categories with values for the years (2012, 2012 x 2011, 2011, 2010) and in the column called "Variação 2012 x 2011", sometimes there are just percentages and sometimes there are numbers followed by p.p.
For example: Margem bruta 1,7 p.p., Margem operacional 4,7 p.p., ROA 2,7 p.p.
The only thing I have found is "próximo passado" meaning "last", which I'm not sure fits in this case, but if it does, how would it be translated?
Thank you very much for your help.

if it means "por período" then go with YEAR TO YEAR (YTY)

So, I'm guessing that it's "percentage points" like airmailrpl suggested.
