It’s pretty usual for a company financial target to need to be hit before the bonus payout starts - in fact it’s unusual for a bonus payout to happen regardless of financial performance (companies want to give employees certainty about what the rules are to trigger a bonus, but don’t want to have to give out bonuses if they are going under).

I’ll assume the bonus is probably actually tied to the companies financial performance rather than the release, but that the release was required for the revenue target to be hit.
