Final answer:

Being #175 on the Fortune 500 list means the company is ranked 175th in terms of total revenue in the U.S., indicating its success in generating revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being #175 on the Fortune 500 list means that your company is ranked as the 175th company in terms of total revenue in the U.S. This means it is one of the top companies in terms of generating revenue. It does not necessarily mean it has the 175th highest net profit or that it will be ranked at least #175 in next year's Hoover's index. The ranking is specific to total revenue.
