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.


The parent only provided financials from before the acquisition.


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?
