without (profit) margin / mark-up
Explanation:
Usually the Finnish word 'katteeton' would mean 'uncovered/bad' (e.g. check), but in this case the word apparently is a regular derivative from the word 'kate' in its accounting meaning 'profit margin / mark-up'. Thus 'katteeton' here means 'without kate (ilman katetta)', that is 'without (profit) margin / mark-up'.
