"Das vergangene Geschäftsjahr der Spielbank Bern verlief überzeugend."
In the introduction to a financial statement.
I was thinking "has yielded convincing results" but am hoping someone might come up with a better idea.

... has been an impressive one (or, on the lines of your own suggestion: has yielded impressive results)
would be a word I would consider. I try to avoid "convincing" in senses other than "a convincing argument" (if you speak of "a convincing year", then who has been convinced? and of what?) - and the Germans use überzeugend all over the place, often in situations where "convincing" isn't appropriate.
