So does nobody here understand the difference between revenue and profit? Revenue is the amount of money generated, not taking costs into consideration. They didn't profit $143 million, they actually only profited $34 million because they had $109 million in expenses. Don't get me wrong $34 million profit is great! But let's not get these numbers confused.

The thread is titled revenue.

I think you may have jumped to conclusions slightly.

That's about a 24% profit margin. How does that stack up to the general average?
