What is Year-Over-Year Growth?
Year-Over-Year (YOY) growth is a financial metric that compares a company's performance in one period to the same period in the previous year. It's expressed as a percentage and helps businesses track progress and identify trends over time.

YOY Growth Formula
YOY Growth = ((Final Year Value - Initial Year Value) / Initial Year Value) × 100
- Final Year Value: Current period metric value

- Result: Percentage change (positive = growth, negative = decline)
Best Practice: Use YOY analysis alongside other metrics like month-over-month growth and industry benchmarks for comprehensive performance evaluation.
