GAAP earnings == earnings in the context of the parent posts. Just because you slap a fancy acronym in front of the word "earnings" doesn't make it any different. However, revenue != profit. And, a 1% profit margin is pretty shitty friend.

gaap earnings are not the same as earnings and are frequently mis-leading for this type of company.

A small profit margin is almost devoid of meaning for a company not trying to generate profits.
