Margins share/margins quota

Looks like consolidated accounts, and this is the target that XXX company (as a subsidiary of the Group) has to reach, as a percentage of the overall Group. Possibly its EBIT margin, given that this is the preceding line. As a translator you cannot be expected to know this, unless you have not given enough context, so do it literally.
I used to work in investment banking so read hundreds of these reports - they vary a great deal from company to company.
