Is the word anualmente the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "anualmente" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed vowels are generally more "open" and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, these vowels are more "reduced" or "closed" (often almost swallowed), which can make the word sound more condensed or clipped to a listener.
