It doesn't matter. The purpose of the company is Mars colonization, not profit generation. That's why it's still private rather than public.

Long term there will probably be a significant monetary RoI from various projects and technological advancements along the way, as well as being able to sell people (and governments) tickets to space and to Mars. But the company is set up so that even if that doesn't work out getting to Mars will still happen.
