1 overhead: In a financial context, "overhead" is the fixed costs of running a business, such as rent, utilities, etc. Bruno says "I'm pleased that our overhead remains relatively low despite our progressive expansion." This means that the company's operating expenses are still quite small despite the fact that it is growing progressively. In another context "overhead" can mean literally above one's head.
2 downturn: A "downturn" is a period of economic decline, for example: We are currently experiencing a downturn, and I doubt we will be able to expand this year. Bruno says that "despite the current economic downturn, I'm optimistic that this coming year will be good for us." This means that even though there is a period of slow economic growth (or even decline), he is confident that the Delavigne Corporation will perform well.
3 payroll: The "payroll" of a company refers to the cost of paying the salaries of a group of employees. Bruno says "We certainly have some important decisions to make regarding...personnel payroll." This means that the company needs to make some decisions about staff salaries. Note that "payroll" can also refer to a list of employees to be paid, with the amount due to each.
