nonprofitable
Yielding no gain
Nonprofitable describes something that doesn't generate profit or financial gain.
The term overlaps with nonprofit but carries a slightly different shade—nonprofit typically describes organizations structured to serve purposes other than making money, while nonprofitable suggests something that simply fails to yield returns: The venture proved nonprofitable after two years.
Unprofitable is the more common choice.
