Hard to say they mean either, financials are public,

https://ie.globaldatabase.com/company/microsoft-round-island...

It lists 9bn in profit.

The quoted document > https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20794038/microsof...

Disagrees with the public finances above: the issue is that the document says "$ 000".

It's a typo, the numbers are just dollar amounts.

And the text of the report proves it, it explicitly says profit of the year was 13bn.

EDIT: the report is very confusing. It looks like there could be an argument to say it is genuinely 300bn -- the issue is there's *operating profit* of 13bn... but a secondary "profit" from the liquidation of subsidy companies.

So the issue is the article presents this as an operating profit, but it isnt.

The $ 000 at the top of the columns means the values are in thousands
