True. But nowadays technology companies are usually judged on their EBITDA, not their net profit. And not all R&D costs can be placed in the line above the EBITDA calculation as whereas some R&D expenditure is expensed, some has to be capitalised and hence depreciated over time.You know that profit is what is left over after you've paid for everything?Profit is not a dirty word. You need it to pay for R&D. Less profit, less R&D, less cool products, less chance of long-term survival. In my view, it really is that simple.
Often years later, results have had to be 'restated' to correct statements made previously.
