All employee compensation, including CEO and board of directors, is included in the expenses used to calculate profit margin.

Profit margin is all revenue minus all expenses.

Isn't that a bit misleading? Salaries wouldn't be included, but a lot of compensation at the very high end is based on owning stock, and dividends i assume would be part of that profit margin.
