Simple. Replace line break with whitespace after "Sales:"
First filter (replace):
-Search
(Sales:)(\r\n)
-Replace with
$1[ ]
Second filter (extract matching line, or just grep)
- Match pattern
Sales:

So first filter appends next line to "Sales:" line resulting in
Sales: $120.12 bil
Second filter extracts all lines with "Sales:" in it
