Minor note. If I am reading the article correctly, it has revenue of 2B, not earnings.

  Revenue is earning. If you earn 200k a year, it doesn't mean you saved 200k.

    Earnings are revenues substracted by expenses. The article states, "Analysts estimated Red Hat would make $534 million."

    Words have specific meaning in finances (and in other field). Not always the most common spoken definition...

    However, if you bought something for $300 and sold it for $200 the next day, you would not claim to have earned $200.
