Having 50% of the net revenue as net profit is quite a lot. Even 1/3 of the overall revenue as net profit is crazy,

Is it correct to assume that dividends paid to shareholders are represented in the Personnel branch? Or are they paid out of Net Profits and if so, is it 100% of Net Profits?

Does anyone have any insight on why their litigation expenses went up so much? Seems like a drastic change unless there was a major lawsuit I missed or they’re expecting one

This chart gives me a reasonably good idea of how they *spend* their billions, but not really any idea of how they make it. What is the difference between Service and Data processing? What does International transaction actually entail? Is that not a service? Is it just the extra 1% they charge on international transactions or does it include the interchange too?

I’m just glad they pay so little in taxes. Please, reduce their taxes even more. Plus give them more corporate welfare, instead of those SNAP payments to families and children.
I pay a higher rate. FML.

What are Client Incentives?

Why is *net revenue* just gross revenue minus *client incentives*? Surely *operating costs* must be deducted as well.

Is Service a fancy word for Fees
