               GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  THIRD QUARTER 2005 (PRELIMINARY)
                 CORPORATE PROFITS:  THIRD QUARTER 2005 (PRELIMINARY)


    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 4.3 percent in the third quarter of 2005,
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the second quarter,
real GDP increased 3.3 percent. 

    The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available for
the advance estimates issued last month.  In the advance estimates, the increase in real GDP was 3.8
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).

    The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the third quarter were personal consumption
expenditures (PCE), equipment and software, federal government spending, and residential fixed
investment. The contributions of these components were partly offset by a negative contribution from
private inventory investment.  Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.

    The acceleration in real GDP growth in the third quarter primarily reflected a smaller decrease in
private inventory investment and accelerations in PCE and in federal government spending that were
partly offset by a deceleration in exports, an upturn in imports, and a deceleration in state and local
government spending. 

    Final sales of computers contributed 0.17 percentage point to the third-quarter growth in real GDP
after contributing 0.32 percentage point to the second-quarter growth.  Motor vehicle output contributed
0.56 percentage point to the third-quarter growth in real GDP after subtracting 0.01 percentage point
from the second-quarter growth.  



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 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 4.0 percent in the third quarter, the same as in the advance estimate; this index increased 3.3
percent in the second quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic
purchases increased 2.1 percent in the third quarter, the same as in the second quarter.

    Real personal consumption expenditures increased 4.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with
an increase of 3.4 percent in the second.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 8.8 percent, the
same as in the second quarter.  Nonresidential structures increased 2.7 percent, the same as in the second
quarter.  Equipment and software increased 10.8 percent, compared with an increase of 10.9 percent. 
Real residential fixed investment increased 8.4 percent, compared with an increase of 10.8 percent.

    Real exports of goods and services increased 0.8 percent in the third quarter, compared with an
increase of 10.7 percent in the second.  Real imports of goods and services increased 2.1 percent, in
contrast to a decrease of 0.3 percent.

    Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 8.1 percent in
the third quarter, compared with an increase of 2.4 percent in the second.  National defense increased
10.3 percent, compared with an increase of 3.7 percent.  Nondefense increased 3.6 percent, in contrast to
a decrease of 0.2 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment increased 0.4 percent, compared with an increase of 2.6 percent.

    The real change in private inventories subtracted 0.44 percentage point from the third-quarter
change in real GDP, after subtracting 2.14 percentage points from the second-quarter change.  Private
businesses reduced inventories $13.4 billion in the third quarter, following a decrease of $1.7 billion in
the second quarter and an increase of $58.2 billion in the first.

    Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 4.7
percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 5.6 percent in the second.


Gross domestic purchases

    Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 4.3 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 2.1 percent in the
second. 


Gross national product

    Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied
by U.S. residents -- increased 4.4 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.2 percent
in the second.  GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world,
which increased $2.3 billion in the third quarter after decreasing $3.6 billion in the second; in the third
quarter, receipts increased $17.2 billion, and payments increased $14.9 billion.


Current-dollar GDP

    Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
7.4 percent, or $223.0 billion, in the third quarter to a level of $12,601.0 billion.  In the second quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 6.0 percent, or $179.2 billion.



Revisions

    The preliminary estimate of the third-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.5 percentage point, or
$12.9 billion, higher than the advance estimate issued last month. The upward revision to the percentage
change in real GDP primarily reflected upward revisions to residential fixed investment, to personal
consumption expenditures for nondurable goods, to equipment and software, and to nonresidential
structures that were partly offset by an upward revision to imports of goods.

                          Corporate Profits

    Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) decreased $45.5 billion in the third quarter.  In the second quarter, profits
increased $59.3 billion.  Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment --
increased $34.3 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $41.7 billion in the second.
    
    Third-quarter profits from current production were reduced by $151.2 billion because of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, reflecting the net benefits paid by domestic insurance companies and the
uninsured losses of corporate property. 

     Taxes on corporate income decreased $9.0 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of 
$9.9 billion in the second.  Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments decreased $36.5 billion in the third quarter, after an increase of $49.4 billion in the second. 
Dividends increased $13.8 billion, compared with an increase of $11.4 billion; current-production
undistributed profits decreased $50.3 billion, in contrast to an increase of $38.0 billion.

    Domestic profits of financial corporations decreased $65.3 billion in the third quarter, compared
with a decrease of $26.9 billion in the second.  Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased
$1.9 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $82.5 billion in the second.  In the third
quarter, real gross corporate value added increased, and profits per unit of real value added decreased. 
The decrease in unit profits reflected increases in both the unit labor and nonlabor costs corporations
incurred.    

    The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $17.9 billion in the third quarter, compared
with an increase of $3.7 billion in the second.  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.  The third-quarter
increase was accounted for by a decrease in payments and an increase in receipts.

    Profits before tax decreased $16.3 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of $33.9
billion in the second.  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 decreased $20.7 billion in the third quarter (from -$45.8 billion to -$66.5 billion), in contrast
to an increase of $5.2 billion in the second.  The inventory valuation adjustment decreased $8.5 billion
(from -$18.9 billion to -$27.4 billion), in contrast to an increase of $20.2 billion.

  Note.--Users are cautioned that particularly for components that
exhibit rapid change in prices relative to other prices in the
economy, the chained-dollar estimates should not be used to measure
the component's relative importance or its contribution to the
growth rate of more aggregate series.  For accurate estimates of
the contributions to percent changes in real GDP, use table 2.

  1. This index is a supplemental measure that is based on household
expenditures for which there are observable price measures.  It
excludes most implicit prices (for example, the services furnished
without payment by financial intermediaries) and the expenses of
nonprofit institutions.  Percentage changes for these series are
included in the addenda to table 8 and appendix table A.

  r Revised.  Revisions include changes to series affected by the
introduction of revised wage and salary estimates for the second
quarter of 2005.
  1. The current-dollar gross value added is deflated using the
gross value added chain-type price index for nonfinancial industries
from the GDP-by-industry accounts.  For periods when this price index
is not available, the chain-type price index for GDP goods and
structures is used.
  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.

     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 2003-04
annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2003 and 2004 as weights, and the 2003-04 annual
percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2003 and 2004 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.
