GM announced that its second-quarter profits had nearly doubled, to $2.5 billion. To put that in context, in April 2010, GM reported losses of $4.3 billion. Revenue at GM rose 19 percent, to $39.4 billion. What? Is he saying they lost $4.3 billion AND made $39.4billion?

In the jargon of finance, revenue = sales
not profit.
