Revenue and profit answer different questions

Revenue measures income from the activities described in the accounts, while profit reflects the result after the relevant expenses and accounting adjustments. Neither figure alone establishes cash generation. Read the statement headings and notes before comparing companies, because different reporting periods, currencies or classifications can make superficially similar totals unsuitable for direct comparison.

Use the published reporting perimeter

SEC educational resources explain financial-statement categories, and EDGAR provides the original issuer filings from which figures can be taken. UK accounts guidance helps establish what may be filed under that system. If a public document omits turnover or a profit-and-loss statement, report the omission explicitly rather than estimating a value and presenting it as an official registry disclosure.
