Isn't it possible to receive a fine of up to 10% of your global revenue? That's revenue not profit, in which case it isn't much of a stretch to imagine that crippling many companies with high expenses/low profit margins.
It's "up to", so the actual fine may be much lower, but they clearly were not willing to take the risk.
