The active GMFM financial table uses przychody ogółem / total revenue and zysk netto / net profit from Polish financial-statement extracts. This differs from some Polish media articles that focus on sales revenue / przychody ze sprzedaży, which excludes some other operating or financial revenue. For 2024, Polish media reporting states that Google Poland recorded approximately PLN 1.53bn in sales revenue and PLN 127.89m in net profit. The active GMFM workbook uses the broader reported PLN 1.722bn total revenue figure from the annual financial extract, while retaining the same net-profit figure. The PLN source figures are converted to EUR using annual average ECB euro reference rates republished in Bundesbank exchange-rate statistics.
