apenas supusieron la mitad [no llegaron a la mitad]


Explanation:
Diría apenas fueron la mitad en este contexto [no llegaron a la mitad].
Por ejemplo;
Las ventas de 9.1 millones de euros de 2016 fueron casi el doble de las [ventas] correspondientes a 2015 y apenas supusieron la mitad de las del año siguiente.
