Trailing Twelve Months
Trailing twelve months (TTM) is a reporting window covering the prior twelve months of activity.
Trailing twelve months (TTM) is a reporting window covering the prior twelve months of activity. For income and expense accounts, it summarizes that period rather than the next twelve months.
Property operations example: label the start and end dates and use consistent source reports for the full window. Keep activity during a period separate from an account balance measured on a single date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a TTM report the same as a twelve-month forecast?
No. TTM looks back over the prior twelve months. A forecast describes expected future activity and should be labeled separately.
