Each month to month increase has to be different, obviously. You are not simply multiplying or dividing by twelve. In other words, prices rose 3.37% from April to May. There is no correlation between the numbers.

That must be what they meant. Generally, when governments publish inflation stats for a month they always annualize the number.
