        GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  SECOND QUARTER 2004 (FINAL)
          CORPORATE PROFITS:  SECOND QUARTER 2004 (REVISED)



    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 3.3 percent in the second quarter of 2004,
according to revised estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the first quarter, real
GDP increased 4.5 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 
2.8 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).

    The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the second quarter were nonresidential fixed
investment, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), residential fixed investment, private inventory
investment, exports, and government spending.  Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of
GDP, increased.
    
    The deceleration in real GDP growth in the second quarter reflected decelerations in PCE and in
private inventory investment and an acceleration in imports that were partly offset by accelerations in
nonresidential fixed investment and in residential fixed investment.

    Motor vehicle output subtracted 0.58 percentage point from the second-quarter change in real
GDP after contributing 0.30 percentage point to the first-quarter change.  

    The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 3.5 percent in the second quarter, the same increase as the preliminary estimate; this index
increased 3.4 percent in the first quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross
domestic purchases increased 2.5 percent in the second quarter, the same increase as in the first.  


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.

    Real personal consumption expenditures increased 1.6 percent in the second quarter, compared
with an increase of 4.1 percent in the first.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 12.5 percent,
compared with an increase of 4.2 percent.  Nonresidential structures increased 6.9 percent, in contrast to
a decrease of 7.6 percent.  Equipment and software increased 14.2 percent, compared with an increase of
8.0 percent.  Real residential fixed investment increased 16.5 percent, compared with an increase of 5.0
percent.

    Real exports of goods and services increased 7.3 percent in the second quarter, the same increase
as in the first.  Real imports of goods and services increased 12.6 percent, compared with an increase of
10.6 percent.

    Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 2.7 percent in
the second quarter, compared with an increase of 7.1 percent in the first.  National defense increased 1.9
percent, compared with an increase of 10.6 percent.  Nondefense increased 4.4 percent, compared with
an increase of 0.2 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment increased 1.9 percent, compared with no change in the first. 

    The real change in private inventories added 0.78 percentage point to the second-quarter change in
real GDP, after adding 1.17 percentage points to the first-quarter change.  Private businesses increased
inventories $61.1 billion in the second quarter, following increases of $40.0 billion in the first quarter
and $8.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2003.

    Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 2.5
percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 3.3 percent in the first.


Gross domestic purchases

    Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 4.2 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 5.0 percent in the
first. 


Gross national product

    Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied
by U.S. residents -- increased 1.9 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 3.9 percent
in the first.  GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world, which
decreased $35.3 billion in the second quarter after decreasing $13.4 billion in the first; in the second
quarter, receipts increased $10.2 billion, and payments increased $45.5 billion.


Current-dollar GDP

    Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
6.6 percent, or $184.9 billion, in the second quarter to a level of $11,657.5 billion.  In the first quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 7.4 percent, or $201.7 billion.


Revisions

    The final estimate of the second-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.5 percentage point, or $13.3
billion, higher than the preliminary estimate issued last month.  The upward revision to the percent
change in real GDP primarily reflected a downward revision to imports and upward revisions to private
inventory investment and to exports.

                           Corporate Profits

    Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) increased $8.3 billion in the second quarter.  In the first quarter, profits
increased $36.5 billion.  Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment --
decreased $5.7 billion in the second quarter, in contrast to an increase of $5.9 billion in the first.

     Taxes on corporate income increased $14.7 billion in the second quarter, compared with an
increase of $4.2 billion in the first.  Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments decreased $6.4 billion in the second quarter, after increasing $32.3 billion in the first. 
Dividends increased $9.8 billion, compared with an increase of $7.0 billion; current-production
undistributed profits decreased $16.2 billion, in contrast to an increase of $25.3 billion.
    
    Domestic profits increased $28.3 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $47.0
billion in the first.  Domestic profits of financial corporations decreased $7.9 billion in the second
quarter, in contrast to an increase of $19.8 billion in the first.  Domestic profits of nonfinancial
corporations increased $36.2 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $27.3 billion in
the first.  In the second quarter, both real gross value added and profits per unit of real gross value added
increased.  The second quarter increase in unit profits reflected a larger increase in the prices
corporations received than in the unit costs they incurred; unit labor costs increased while unit nonlabor
costs were unchanged.            
    
    The foreign component of profits (rest-of-the-world profits) decreased $20.0 billion in the second
quarter, compared with a decrease of $10.5 billion in the first.  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 second-quarter
decrease was accounted for by a larger increase in payments than in receipts.

    The revised estimates of second-quarter corporate profits from current production is $6.7 billion
higher than the preliminary estimate issued last month.  Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations
and the foreign component of profits (rest-of-the-world profits) were revised up $7.5 billion and $3.5
billion, respectively.  Domestic profits of financial corporations was revised down $4.3 billion.

    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 depreciation-accounting practices used for federal income tax returns.  According to this
measure, domestic profits of financial corporations decreased, and domestic profits of nonfinancial
corporations increased.  Increases in profits of nonfinancial corporations were widespread among major
industry groups with the largest occurring in information and in durable goods manufacturing; only retail
trade and utilities decreased.

    Profits before tax increased $25.9 billion in the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $3.8
billion in the first.  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 $6.9 billion in the second quarter (from $240.2 billion to $233.3 billion), in
contrast to an increase of $53.0 billion in the first.  The inventory valuation adjustment decreased $10.8
billion (from -$37.0 billion to -$47.8 billion), compared with a decrease of $12.7 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. Effective with the estimates scheduled for release on November 30,
2004, chained-dollar gross value added of nonfinancial corporate
business for 1929 to 2004 will be revised.  The current-dollar value
added will be 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 to 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.

     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.
