How can a company grow and continue to be in business while losing money?
You have an even better and more shocking example, none other than Amazon! From launch in 1995 until it made some money, six long years of big money hemorragia happened, getting just five million dollars in profit out of one billion in sales revenue in 2001. Even as of 2014, out of $89 billion in revenue they managed to reap just $178 million.
