Mérlegfőösszeg (balance-sheet total)
The company's whole balance-sheet estate — the common total of the asset and the liability side.
The two sides of a balance sheet are equal by definition: the asset side shows what the company has, the liability side what it has it from. Their common total is the balance-sheet total.
It is often used instead of revenue as a size measure, because wealth moves more slowly than one year's turnover. The two do not substitute for each other: a wealthy company can have small revenue, and the reverse.

The financial table's rows show the balance sheet's parts; the total is the summarising concept above them.
