Can you not say "Two consecutive years of $2 million in increased sales"?

Hi,
Would you say that 'between 2003 and 2005' clearly includes both 2003 and 2005?

What about this:
In 2004, and again in 2005, the company saw a year-on-year increase of $2 million in sales, more than doubling their annual sales from $3 million in 2003 to $7 million in 2005.
