As stated below, it isn't possible to calculate the percentage increase from zero because the calculation will have a zero in the denominator and therefore cause an undefined (near infinite) result. You could however state/express the increase as a decimal number (e.g. 10,000$ increase in revenue) instead of trying to express the increase as a % gain.
