from a year earlier用法

Honda reported its profits slipped nearly 20% in the first half of the April-March fiscal year from a year earlier, as sales suffered in China.

这句话的from a year earlier是不是同比意思？是固定用法吗？为什么可以这么翻译？

Honda reported its profits slipped nearly 20% in the first half of the April-March fiscal year from a year earlier, as sales suffered in China.

本田公布今年4月至3月上半财年利润与上年同期相比下滑近20%，原因是在中国的销售量下滑/变差。

备注：from a year earlier中介词表示“对比/比较”
