Thanks in advance

financial results for the last two (reporting) periods

I don't know exactly whether it's to be years in each and every case (could also be half-year/interim reporting).

agree cjohnstone : reproting sounds an excellent idea but i'd leave accounting, financial are a different thing but agreeing is nicer than neutralizing and it is so hot!!!

net earnings of the last two fiscal years

Technically, "net results" can mean either "net earnings" or "net loss" but in English they almost always just say "net earnings" (except in the dictionaries!)

accounting results

I see no problem with the "accounting results" in your proposal, but do object to the "2 financial years"

I would suggest to write it as follows:

"accounting results of the 2 last fiscal periods".
