English term or phrase: TM
While most recently reported operating earnings was slightly disappointing due to an extraordinary tax loss, sales figures were in-line with expectations, and copper production is set to increase to 986,000 ***TM*** this year.

Weiß jemand, wofür TM steht? Merci :-)

German translation:metric ton = (metrische) Tonne
Explanation:


Hallo Andrea,


meistens mit dem Akronym MT, manchmal aber auch unter TM zu finden.


(Eine andere Möglichkeit wäre "megaton" [Mt] = 1.000.000 Tonnen, aber 986.000 x 1 Mio. Tonnen dürften wahrscheinlich etwas zuviel Kupferproduktion sein, im Kontext Ihres Beispiels.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne#Derived_units


"However, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), remaining world copper reserves have more than doubled since then, from 310 million metric tons in 1996 to 690 million metric tons in 2013."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_copper#Copper_supply


"The tonne, commonly referred to as the metric ton in the United States and Canada, is a non-SI metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or one megagram."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne


"Die Tonne (von lateinisch tunna ‚das Fass‘) oder auch metrische Tonne"
