Profits concerning performers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

returns

'profits' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'concerning performers' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're'.
'performers' becomes 'turns' ('turn' can mean a performer as well as their act).
're'+'turns'='RETURNS'

(Other definitions for returns that I've seen before include "proceeds" , "Goes or comes back" , "Hands back" , "Throws made by cricketers" , "Profits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
