It means something similar! "On year" (or year on year) are expressions used to commonly describe financial or economic related situations. It can be understood as meaning "in/per given year" or "compared to the same period of the previous year." Ex: The company saw revenue drop by 23% on year. Ex: London's housing market has plunged by 30% on year.
