Right and at no point are you saying that earnings/profits were impacted by the tax amnesty and money being brought back on shore.

Your link says that the most predictable thing happened- all that money sitting over seas was given back to its owners (shareholders).

Absolutely none of this affected profits for that year. Mind you, that money was not being used for R&D anyways - it was sitting in bank accounts or bonds waiting for a moment like this to come back and be handed out to shareholders.

That’s literally what I’m saying.

Are you being semantic?

They realized the revenue as dividends, which is exactly what the link says.
