EMBARGOED UNTIL RELEASE AT 8:30 A.M. EDT, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 2008 Virginia H. Mannering: (202) 606-5304 (GDP) BEA 08-21 Andrew Hodge: (202) 606-5564 (Profits) Recorded message: (202) 606-5306 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: FIRST QUARTER 2008 (PRELIMINARY) CORPORATE PROFITS: FIRST QUARTER 2008 (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 0.9 percent in the first quarter of 2008, according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 0.6 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 0.6 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3). The increase in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE) for services, exports of goods and services, federal government spending, and private inventory investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from residential fixed investment and PCE for durable goods. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased. The small acceleration in real GDP primarily reflected an upturn in inventory investment that was partly offset by a deceleration in PCE. Final sales of computers contributed 0.06 percentage point to the first-quarter growth in real GDP after contributing 0.16 percentage point to the fourth-quarter growth. Motor vehicle output subtracted 0.35 percentage point from the first-quarter growth in real GDP after subtracting 0.86 percentage point from the fourth-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 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 along with the Technical Note and Highlights related to this release. The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, increased 3.5 percent in the first quarter, the same as in the advance estimate; this index increased 3.7 percent in the fourth quarter. Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.2 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 2.3 percent in the fourth. About 0.3 percentage point of the first-quarter increase in the index was accounted for by the pay raise for federal civilian and military personnel, which is treated as an increase in the prices of employee services purchased by the federal government. Real personal consumption expenditures increased 1.0 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 2.3 percent in the fourth. Real nonresidential fixed investment decreased 0.2 percent, in contrast to an increase of 6.0 percent. Nonresidential structures increased 1.1 percent, compared with an increase of 12.4 percent. Equipment and software decreased 0.9 percent, in contrast to an increase of 3.1 percent. Real residential fixed investment decreased 25.5 percent, compared with a decrease of 25.2 percent. Real exports of goods and services increased 2.8 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 6.5 percent in the fourth. Real imports of goods and services decreased 2.6 percent, compared with a decrease of 1.4 percent. Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 4.4 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 0.5 percent in the fourth. National defense increased 5.6 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.5 percent. Nondefense increased 1.8 percent, compared with an increase of 2.8 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 0.6 percent, compared with an increase of 2.8 percent. The real change in private inventories added 0.21 percentage point to the first-quarter change in real GDP, after subtracting 1.79 percentage points from the fourth-quarter change. Private businesses decreased inventories $14.4 billion in the first quarter, following a decrease of $18.3 billion in the fourth quarter and an increase of $30.6 billion in the third. Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 0.7 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 2.4 percent in the fourth. Gross domestic purchases Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever produced -- increased 0.1 percent in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 0.4 percent in the fourth. Gross national product Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied by U.S. residents -- increased 1.1 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 1.9 percent in the fourth. GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world, which increased $5.3 billion in the first quarter after increasing $37.6 billion in the fourth; in the first quarter, receipts decreased $48.1 billion, and payments decreased $53.4 billion. Current-dollar GDP Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 3.5 percent, or $121.4 billion, in the first quarter to a level of $14,195.6 billion. In the fourth quarter, current-dollar GDP increased 3.0 percent, or $103.7 billion. Revisions The preliminary estimate of the first-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.3 percentage point, or $8.8 billion, higher than the advance 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 nonresidential structures and to PCE for nondurable goods that were partly offset by downward revisions to private inventory investment, to exports, and to PCE for services. Advance Preliminary (Percent change from preceding quarter) Real GDP............................... 0.6 0.9 Current-dollar GDP..................... 3.2 3.5 Gross domestic purchases price index... 3.5 3.5 Corporate Profits Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) increased $5.2 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $52.9 billion in the fourth quarter. Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- increased $29.6 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $55.7 billion in the fourth. Taxes on corporate income decreased $36.9 billion in the first quarter, compared with a decrease of $15.0 billion in the fourth. Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments increased $42.0 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $37.9 billion in the fourth. Dividends increased $17.0 billion, compared with an increase of $21.7 billion; current- production undistributed profits increased $25.0 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $59.5 billion. Domestic profits of financial corporations decreased $3.0 billion in the first quarter, compared with a decrease of $74.4 billion in the fourth. Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased $3.2 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $34.3 billion. In the first quarter, real gross corporate value added increased. Profits per unit of real value added were unchanged, reflecting an increase in unit prices and a decrease in unit nonlabor costs that were offset by an increase in unit labor costs. The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $5.0 billion in the first quarter, compared with an increase of $55.8 billion in the fourth. 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 first-quarter increase reflected a larger increase in receipts than in payments. Profits before tax decreased $133.3 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to an increase of $0.2 billion in the fourth (see "Provisions of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008" below). 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 $167.7 billion in the first quarter (from -$241.5 billion to -$73.8 billion), in contrast to a decrease of $4.1 billion in the fourth. The inventory valuation adjustment decreased $29.3 billion (from -$69.4 billion to -$98.7 billion), compared with a decrease of $49.1 billion. Provisions of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 provided for a first-year bonus depreciation of 50 percent for qualifying property purchased and put in place in 2008. The law also raised the ceiling for small business expensing under Internal Revenue Code Section 179 from $128,000 to $250,000. Profits from current production are not affected because they do not depend on the depreciation- accounting practices used for federal income tax returns; rather, they are based on depreciation of fixed assets valued at current cost and using consistent depreciation profiles based on used-asset prices. The additional depreciation provided for by the 2008 Act is estimated to have increased tax-based depreciation expenses in the first quarter by $139.7 billion (annual rate) and reduced profits before tax, which is based on earnings reported on tax returns, by the same amount. The capital consumption adjustment, which is the difference between the depreciation specified in the tax code and the depreciation underlying profits from current production, also increased by the same amount because the Act raised tax depreciation by $139.7 billion. (First-quarter profits tax liability was reduced by $37.8 billion, and profits after tax were reduced by $102.0 billion.) As with corporate profits from current production, the effects of the provisions of the Act on nonfarm proprietors' income with capital consumption and inventory valuation adjustments (table 10) were offsetting; nonfarm proprietors' income without these adjustments was reduced, and the related capital consumption adjustment was increased by the same amount. The other major national income and product account components and aggregates shown in this release were not affected. * * * BEA's national, international, regional, and industry estimates; the Survey of Current Business; and BEA news releases are available without charge on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov.

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 2005-06 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2005 and 2006 as weights, and the 2005-06 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2005 and 2006 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, 8, and Appendix Table A. 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.
