Maybe they are, but that depends on how they define "losing money".

IMO, you "lose money" when your expenses exceeds your income. The business 
world however seems to look at it differently. If a company makes $100 
million in profits in year #1, and makes another $90 million in profits in 
year #2, they do not claim they "earned 90 million in profits" in year #2, 
but made a $10 million loss.
