If some companies have 100% of profits go to charity, where does the profit go with other companies?

Some companies like Newman’s Own say “100% of profits to charities”. Obviously, their employees still get paid, and the fact that new cookie brands come out means that some of the money is re-invested in the company. Presumably those two financial factors are not considered part of profits since they aren’t going to charity.

So at other companies, where do the profits go? If they aren’t going into either the company or any of its employees (including the CEO), where else could it go and still be considered profit?

They’re going to the owners of the firm or toward capital investments (e.g. new buildings and the like).
