Atlassian is an odd example here - they've been profitable for a decade: http://www.businessinsider.com/atlassian-files-for-ipo-2015-...

Yes, I should have specified the more unique situation Atlassian is in. They say they were always profitable, but we have had around 6 earnings reports since their IPO. I don't think they have turned a profit once. They also don't seem like they will in the near future.

Do you think it should still be included with an asterisk or not included? I think an asterisk with an explanation would've been best.
