One thing public companies do with their profits is pay dividends to shareholders. For example it appears Proctor and Gamble paid approximately $1.68/share over the past year for 2.92 billion shares. That's about $5B dollars out of $13.4B in profits. I do not know what happened to the other $8.4 billion. Is research part of expenses ?

Why do US companies need to export to Europe and Russia?
To make profits. Companies need customers. If someone wants their products, they will sell them to them. There are many products that companies in the US make that people in Europe and Russia, and other parts of the world, want to buy. So naturally the companies will sell to them. That creates bigger profits for the companies and creates many jobs in the US. If they only made goods for the US and did not export anything, there would be less jobs and less profits, which obviously would not be a good thing.
