It is still totally unclear they are making money on them. They have said it, but the quotes I read were ambiguous as to the costing method that was used in determining that.

As you know there are a variety of methods of measuring "cost", and unless full costing is used, it is just marketing hype to claim they're "making money" on them.

Eventually, perhaps they will. But the jury is out on whether they are now or not.
