Better / (Worse).

A label in financial reporting to indicate whether positive differences are good news - also known as 'favourable', or more simply better.

When the label is B/(W) the positive numbers are better than budget or prior period.

When the label is (B)/W the opposite applies - negative numbers would be better and favourable.
