run-rate
Extrapolated scoring pace
Run-rate is a projection of future performance based on current figures, typically annualized from a shorter period.
If a company earned $10 million in Q1, its run-rate for the year is $40 million.
The term appears frequently in business and finance contexts: At our current run-rate, we'll hit profitability by December.
Run-rate assumes conditions remain constant, which they rarely do.
