But is that net or gross?

If it’s profit it’s net by definition. Gross can’t be profit. You’re thinking of revenue. Gross is total revenue before any costs deducted.

You may need to realign your usage of phrases. Their 2024 Q1 financial statement has a line for "gross profit" and "net income/(loss) attributable to the owners of the parent."

I’m going off the number from the article that your dude linked. The guy said “€58 million in profit.” Totally possible he’s wrong though.

I'm just saying there is a difference between "gross profit" and "net profit" because their official financial statement differentiates between it.

I dunno, my QuickBooks shows me gross and net profit. Gross profit is your income after you remove cost of goods sols (COGS). Net profit is what the org nets after everything else like payroll and other expenses.
