Was the Concord ever profitable at all?

The Concorde earned back its operating costs once it went into
transatlantic service, but its development costs were mostly eaten by
the British and French governments.

So, the answer is "no."

Depending on how you define "profitable". It appears to have been
profitable for the operating consortium.

What you're talking about is income, not profit. There's a BIG
difference between the two. At least, that's what the Internal Revenue
Service keeps telling me. ;-)
