Virginia H. Mannering: (202) 606-5304 (GDP) BEA 05-12 Greg Key: (202) 606-9727 (Profits) Recorded message: (202) 606-5306 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: FOURTH QUARTER 2004 (FINAL) CORPORATE PROFITS: FOURTH QUARTER 2004 Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004, according to final estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter, real GDP increased 4.0 percent. The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available for the preliminary estimates issued last month. In the preliminary estimates, the increase in real GDP was also 3.8 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3). The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter were personal consumption expenditures (PCE), equipment and software, and private inventory investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased. The small deceleration in real GDP growth in the fourth quarter primarily reflected an acceleration in imports of goods and decelerations in PCE for durable goods and in exports of goods that were partly offset by an upturn in private inventory investment. Final sales of computers contributed 0.56 percentage point to the fourth-quarter change in real GDP after contributing 0.18 percentage point to the third-quarter change. Motor vehicle output contributed 0.86 percentage point to the fourth-quarter change in real GDP after contributing 0.34 percentage point to the third-quarter change. FOOTNOTE.--Quarterly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Quarter-to-quarter dollar changes are differences between these published estimates. Percent changes are calculated from unrounded data and are annualized. "Real" estimates are in chained (2000) dollars. Price indexes are chain-type measures. This news release is available on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov/newsreleases/rels.htm. The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, increased 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter, 0.1 percentage point more than the preliminary estimate; this index increased 1.9 percent in the third quarter. Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.0 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 1.7 percent in the third. Real personal consumption expenditures increased 4.2 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 5.1 percent in the third. Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 14.5 percent, compared with an increase of 13.0 percent. Nonresidential structures increased 2.1 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 1.1 percent. Equipment and software increased 18.4 percent, compared with an increase of 17.5 percent. Real residential fixed investment increased 3.4 percent, compared with an increase of 1.6 percent. Real exports of goods and services increased 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 6.0 percent in the third. Real imports of goods and services increased 11.4 percent, compared with an increase of 4.6 percent. Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 1.2 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 4.8 percent in the third. National defense decreased 0.6 percent, in contrast to an increase of 10.1 percent. Nondefense increased 5.3 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 5.3 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 0.6 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 1.7 percent. The real change in private inventories added 0.46 percentage point to the fourth-quarter change in real GDP after subtracting 0.97 percentage point from the third-quarter change. Private businesses increased inventories $47.2 billion in the fourth quarter, following increases of $34.5 billion in the third quarter and $61.1 billion in the second. Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 3.4 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 5.0 percent in the third. Gross domestic purchases Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever produced -- increased 5.0 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 3.9 percent in the third. Gross national product Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied by U.S. residents -- increased 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 4.0 percent in the third. GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world, which decreased $9.7 billion in the fourth quarter after increasing $1.6 billion in the third; in the fourth quarter, receipts increased $41.4 billion, and payments increased $51.1 billion. Current-dollar GDP Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 6.2 percent, or $179.9 billion, in the fourth quarter to a level of $11,994.8 billion. In the third quarter, current-dollar GDP increased 5.5 percent, or $157.4 billion. Revisions The final estimate of the fourth-quarter increase in real GDP is the same as the preliminary estimate. Small upward revisions to exports and to personal consumption expenditures for durable goods were offset by a downward revision to private inventory investment.

In the third quarter, profits decreased $55.9 billion; the third-quarter decrease reflected a reduction of $79.7 billion from the effects of Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne. Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- decreased $37.7 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with a decrease of $1.6 billion in the third. Taxes on corporate income increased $42.4 billion in the fourth quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $17.9 billion in the third. Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments increased $108.3 billion in the fourth quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $38.0 billion in the third. Dividends increased $110.7 billion, compared with an increase of $10.8 billion; current-production undistributed profits decreased $2.4 billion, compared with a decrease of $48.8 billion. Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $84.1 billion in the fourth quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $68.7 billion in the third. Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased $66.7 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of $9.4 billion in the third. In the fourth quarter, real gross corporate product increased, and profits per unit of real product increased. The increase in unit profits reflected an increase in unit prices and decreases in both the unit labor and nonlabor costs corporations incurred. The rest-of-the-world component of profits was unchanged in the fourth quarter, in contrast to an increase of $3.4 billion in the third. This measure is calculated as (1) receipts by U.S. residents of earnings from their foreign affiliates plus dividends received by U.S. residents from unaffiliated foreign corporations minus (2) payments by U.S. affiliates of earnings to their foreign parents plus dividends paid by U.S. corporations to unaffiliated foreign residents. Receipts and payments increased by the same amount. Profits before tax with inventory valuation adjustment is the best available measure of industry profits because estimates of the capital consumption adjustment by industry do not exist. This measure reflects the inventory-accounting and depreciation-accounting practices used for federal income tax returns. According to this measure, domestic profits of both financial and nonfinancial corporations increased. For nonfinancial corporations, the largest increase was in manufacturing. Profits also increased in utilities, in retail trade, and in "other" nonfinancial. Profits decreased in information, in transportation and warehousing, and in wholesale trade. Profits before tax increased $125.1 billion in the fourth quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $55.5 billion in the third. The before-tax measure of profits does not reflect, as does profits from current production, the capital consumption and inventory valuation adjustments. These adjustments convert depreciation of fixed assets and inventory withdrawals reported on a tax-return, historical-cost basis to the current-cost measures used in the national income and product accounts. The capital consumption adjustment increased $37.0 billion in the fourth quarter (from $223.0 billion to $260.0 billion), in contrast to a decrease of $10.3 billion in the third. The inventory valuation adjustment decreased $11.3 billion (from -$37.8 billion to -$49.1 billion), in contrast to an increase of $10.0 billion. Corporate profits in 2004 Profits from current production increased 15.7 percent in 2004, compared with an increase of 16.8 percent in 2003. Domestic profits increased 17.2 percent, compared with an increase of 17.8 percent. The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased 8.5 percent, compared with an increase of 12.1 percent. Profits tax liability increased 14.6 percent in 2004, compared with an increase of 27.8 percent in 2003. Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments increased 16.0 percent, compared with an increase of 13.8 percent. Dividends increased 12.3 percent, compared with an increase of 1.4 percent; current-production undistributed profits increased 19.9 percent, compared with an increase of 30.0 percent. Profits before tax increased 12.7 percent in 2004, compared with an increase of 15.4 percent in 2003. In 2004, the difference between the increase in profits from current production and the increase in profits before tax was mainly due to the effects of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, which allowed accelerated depreciation and lowered before-tax profits. Profits from current production were not affected by the acts, because this measure does not depend on the depreciation-accounting practices used for federal income tax purposes.

Effective December 22, 2004, chained-dollar gross value added of nonfinancial corporate business was revised beginning with 1929. The current-dollar gross value added is deflated by a revised chain-type price index calculated using the gross value added chain-type price index for nonfinancial industries from the comprehensive revision of the GDP-by-industry accounts. 2. Chained-dollar consumption of fixed capital of nonfinancial corporate business is calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. 3. Chained-dollar net value added of nonfinancial corporate business is the difference between the gross value added and the consumption of fixed capital. 4. The deflator for gross value added of nonfinancial corporate business divided by 100. Note.--Estimates in this table are based on the 1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Explanatory Note: NIPA Measures of Quantities and Prices Current-dollar GDP is a measure of the market value of goods, services, and structures produced in the economy in a particular period. Changes in current-dollar GDP can be decomposed into quantity and price components. Quantities, or "real" measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with the reference year -- at present, the year 2000 -- equal to 100. Annual changes in quantities and prices are calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights from two adjacent years. (Quarterly changes in quantities and prices are calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights from two adjacent quarters; quarterly indexes are adjusted for consistency to the annual indexes before percent changes are calculated.) For example, the 2002-03 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2002 and 2003 as weights, and the 2002-03 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2002 and 2003 as weights. These annual changes are "chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and price indexes. Percent changes in Fisher indexes are not affected by the choice of reference year. (BEA also publishes a measure of the price level known as the implicit price deflator (IPD), which is calculated as the ratio of the current-dollar value to the corresponding chained-dollar value, multiplied by 100. The values of the IPD are very close to the values of the corresponding "chain-type" price index.) Index numbers of quantity and price indexes for GDP and its major components are presented in this release in tables 5 and 6. Percent changes from the preceding period are presented in tables 1, 4, 7, and 8. Contributions by major components to changes in real GDP are presented in table 2. Measures of real GDP and its major components are also presented in dollar-denominated form, designated "chained (2000) dollar estimates." For most series, these estimates, which are presented in table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2000 by a corresponding quantity index number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 2000 and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 2001, then the chained (2000) dollar value of this component in 2001 would be $110 (= $100 x 110 / 100). Percent changes calculated from chained-dollar estimates and from chain-type quantity indexes are the same; any differences will be small and due to rounding. Chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP components will not necessarily sum to the chained-dollar estimate of GDP (or to any intermediate aggregate). This is because the relative prices used as weights for any period other than the reference year differ from those of the reference year. A measure of the extent of such differences is provided by a "residual" line, which indicates the difference between GDP (or other major aggregate) and the sum of the most detailed components in the table. For periods close to the reference year, when there usually has not been much change in the relative prices that are used as weights, the residuals tend to be small, and the chained-dollar estimates can be used to approximate the contributions to growth and to aggregate the detailed estimates. For periods further from the reference year, the residuals tend to be larger, and the chained-dollar estimates are less useful for analyses of contributions to growth. Thus, the contributions to percent change shown in table 2 provide a better measure of the composition of GDP growth. In particular, for components for which relative prices are changing rapidly, calculation of contributions using chained-dollar estimates may be misleading even just a few years from the reference year.
