If you can understand the story, losses were high on purpose, because of capital investment, and now capital investment will be slower and production will result in profits. Production done using the equipment represented by said capital investments. Simple.
Don't know if you have been in the business world, but capital is depreciated over the usable life of the investment. Wheeling out a ton of cash now in the build up for something in the future would be a footnote on current earnings. Now the accountants can be playing games with writedowns and accelerated depreciation, but I think you are missing the point - a loss is a loss in Wall Street reported earnings. Special one time stuff is often very well called out.
I truly admire this (or any other EM) company's ability to say "look over here, don't look at reality".
