Can anybody explain me this? Is there any mistake?

Maybe ***were*** instead of ****where****?

"The increase was lower than overall revenue due to the majority of the revenue growth being in Bullion ****where**** metal accounts for a higher proportion of the sales price than in the other segments".

" Lorena You are correct! I will amend my posting above. Un abrazo.

I think the problem is the verbal phrase "to account for". Maybe you are reading it as "metal accounts" as in cuentas del metal...

***The increase in operating profit*** was lower than overall revenue
due to the majority of the revenue growth being in Bullion
where metal accounts for a higher proportion of the sales price than in the other segments.

"where" looks fine to me ... en donde el metal representa una mayor proporción del precio de venta que en los demás segmentos

Hola Paola,

La verdad que no parece haber ningún error en la oración, es bastante directa:

El incremento fue menor que el total de los ingresos debido a que la mayoría del crecimiento de los mismos (los ingresos) fue en Bullion donde el metal cuenta con una proporción mayor del precio de las ventas comparado con los otros segmentos
