XXXX assumes that, following earnings per share of ..... dollars, results for the full year will also be in the black
Note from asker:
Thanks Arne , but that's not what I meant. Doesn't one need to say that the company / the company's finances will be in the black?
Peer comment(s):

agree Henry Schroeder : yes, but the problem is more with the verb, "return to" is very common, but the neutral "schreiben" is difficult.
