It sounds very odd indeed. I would expect "It needs investment in order to cover (=pay for) its expenses."

Money that 'covers' something is money that pays for it.
eg I have $20. That will cover the cost of lunch.
You cover costs or expenses. It makes no sense to cover revenue. The sentence has no sensible meaning.
