Maybe we disagree about what "profitable" means. Posting an authoritative source, so others can decide for themselves.

I don't have that much of an experience analysing similar reports, but it seems to me to be a healthy and growing company?

If you mean a negative cash flow and operating income - it doesn't mean much, as we need to know why.

Taking into account the jump in "Revenue", positive "EBIT" and so on, I would imagine that it was because of some sort of "strategic investment", like some acquisitions probably?

What am I missing? I would definitely be happy with such reports if that was my company.


Unless I'm missing something, your data you've voted seems to be pre-acquisition.

Also, by all accounts their revenue has dropped so much they're having issues even covering the loan payments, much less having enough for any semblance of profit.


So over the 4 years before the takeover they had a net profit of $1.3 billion. What's their profit been in the 4 years since?
