Companies like Netfirms and other ICANN Accredited registrars get domains at much lesser base price than the price they sell them at. No one pays from their pocket
Actually, they do lose money when selling .coms for $4.95.

The cost for the .com is $6 per Domain Name Year to the registry and .25 per year to ICANN.

Whether they recoup that loss in subsequent years, is a matter of speculation. Their bet certainly is that they will though.
