Referring to the fact that they were apparently taking more returns than sales by the end. So not negative in total, but over a given timeframe. (hence: "by the end")

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Reminds me of that joke where a mathematician watches 2 people entering a house and then 3 people leaving it, concluding that there's now -1 people in the house.
I love jokes like that. There's the one where a statistician goes hunting with a friend, and the friend shoots to the left of a target, then to the right, and the statistician excitedly cries, "Got 'em!"
I've heard it as "If someone goes in, then it'll be empty!"
