Not really. In a conventional business revenue tells you how big it is so should be reported in absolute terms. And traditionally, dividends matter to the shareholders and that is directly related to earnings per share. Profits may increase in absolute terms but earnings per share could decrease as a result of issuing more shares (also known as stock dilution).
