If you're certain you want to shorten the sentence in that way, the word 'respectively' would be be a very useful tool for clarifying what grammatical role is being played by each of the bracketed sections. In your case, I would write the sentence as:

A firm outperforms (or underperforms) the industry when expression (1) results in a positive (respectively, negative) value.

This is probably best used when the context is relatively formal/academic where readers are more likely to expect and understand this structure.
