Another time, breaking cone to get a profit (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

once again

'another time' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'breaking cone to get a profit' is the wordplay.
'breaking' indicates an anagram.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'profit' becomes 'gain' (synonyms).
'cone' with letters rearranged gives 'once'.
'once'+'a'+'gain'='ONCE AGAIN'

(Another definition for once again that I've seen is " encore".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
