Not all the things, just their unprofitable side business attempts. It's like knowing a guy with a well paying job who always complains he is broke. But he conveniently never mentions that he's spending $4500 per month on a Lamborghini lease.

The claim here is that none of that spending is generating revenue. They could stop spending that money, their income would remain the same, and then they would be profitable.
