It's from Latin, it means "partially completed".
Normally refers to "pro forma statements", meaning kind of like a draft of financial statements before they've been checked over and finished.
It can also refer to earnings, like "pro forma earnings", would be what the company thinks they might make, but aren't sure until the quarter is over.
