returns

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'profits coming in happily on anniversary?' is the definition.
'returns' can be an answer for 'profits' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'coming in happily on anniversary?' bit.

'on anniversary?' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'anniversary?' becomes 'turns' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'turns'='RETURNS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for returns that I've seen before include "Goes or comes back" , "Goods sent back" , "Hands back" , "Brings or comes back" , "Profits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
