GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: FIRST QUARTER 2011 (SECOND ESTIMATE)
CORPORATE PROFITS: FIRST QUARTER 2011 (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 1.8 percent in the first quarter of 2011, (that
is, from the fourth quarter to the first quarter), according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau
of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 3.1 percent.
The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available
for the "advance" estimate issued last month. In the advance estimate, the increase in real GDP was also
1.8 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).
The increase in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from
personal consumption expenditures (PCE), private inventory investment, exports, and nonresidential
fixed investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from federal government spending and
state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP,
increased.
Annual Revision of the National Income and Product Accounts
The annual revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) will be released along
with the "advance" estimate of GDP for the second quarter of 2011 on July 29. In addition to the regular
revision of estimates for the most recent 3 years and the first quarter of 2011, GDP and some
components will be revised back to the first quarter of 2003 (see "Preview of the Upcoming Annual
NIPA Revision" in the May Survey of Current Business). The August Survey will contain an article that
describes the annual revision in detail.
NOTE. 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 (2005)
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 deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected a sharp upturn in imports, a
deceleration in PCE, a larger decrease in federal government spending, and a deceleration in
nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by a sharp upturn in private inventory investment.
Motor vehicle output added 1.28 percentage points to the first-quarter change in real GDP after
subtracting 0.27 percentage point from the fourth-quarter change. Final sales of computers added 0.06
percentage point to the first-quarter change in real GDP after adding 0.35 percentage point to the fourthquarter change.
The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 3.8 percent in the first quarter, unrevised from the advance estimate; this index increased 2.1
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 1.1 percent in the
fourth.
Real personal consumption expenditures increased 2.2 percent in the first quarter, compared with
an increase of 4.0 percent in the fourth. Durable goods increased 8.9 percent, compared with an increase
of 21.1 percent. Nondurable goods increased 1.1 percent, compared with an increase of 4.1 percent.
Services increased 1.5 percent, the same increase as in the fourth.
Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 3.4 percent in the first quarter, compared with an
increase of 7.7 percent in the fourth. Nonresidential structures decreased 16.8 percent, in contrast to an
increase of 7.6 percent. Equipment and software increased 11.6 percent, compared with an increase of
7.7 percent. Real residential fixed investment decreased 3.3 percent, in contrast to an increase of 3.3
percent.
Real exports of goods and services increased 9.2 percent in the first quarter, compared with an
increase of 8.6 percent in the fourth. Real imports of goods and services increased 7.5 percent, in
contrast to a decrease of 12.6 percent.
Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 7.9 percent
in the first quarter, compared with a decrease of 0.3 percent in the fourth. National defense decreased
11.7 percent, compared with a decrease of 2.2 percent. Nondefense increased 0.1 percent, compared
with an increase of 3.7 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment decreased 3.2 percent, compared with a decrease of 2.6 percent.
The change in real private inventories added 1.19 percentage points to the first-quarter change in
real GDP, after subtracting 3.42 percentage points from the fourth-quarter change. Private businesses
increased inventories $52.2 billion in the first quarter, following increases of $16.2 billion in the fourth
quarter and $121.4 billion in the third.
Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 0.6
percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 6.7 percent in the fourth.

Gross domestic purchases
Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 1.8 percent in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 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 3.1 percent in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 2.8
percent in the fourth. GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the
world, which increased $42.4 billion in the first quarter after decreasing $10.5 billion in the fourth; in
the first quarter, receipts increased $29.0 billion, and payments decreased $13.3 billion.

Current-dollar GDP
Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
3.8 percent, or $138.9 billion, in the first quarter to a level of $15,010.3 billion. In the fourth quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 3.5 percent, or $126.3 billion.

Revisions
The "second" estimate of the first-quarter increase in real GDP is the same as the advance
estimate. Upward revisions to exports, to private inventory investment, and to nonresidential fixed
investment were offset by an upward revision to imports and a downward revision to personal
consumption expenditures.

Corporate Profits
Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) increased $21.9 billion in the first quarter, compared with an increase of
$38.2 billion in the fourth quarter. Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation
adjustment) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- decreased $11.0 billion in
the first quarter, in contrast to an increase of $36.9 billion in the fourth.

Taxes on corporate income increased $33.6 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease
of $1.3 billion in the fourth. Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments decreased $11.6 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to an increase of $39.5 billion in the
fourth. Dividends increased $15.4 billion compared with an increase of $8.9 billion; current-production
undistributed profits decreased $27.0 billion, in contrast to an increase of $30.6 billion.
Domestic profits of financial corporations decreased $70.6 billion in the first quarter, in contrast
to an increase of $57.7 billion in the fourth. Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased
$45.8 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $10.1 billion in the fourth. In the first
quarter, real gross value added of nonfinancial corporations increased, and profits per unit of real value
added increased. The increase in unit profits reflected decreases in both the unit labor and nonlabor
costs corporations incurred; unit prices were unchanged.
The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $46.8 billion in the first quarter, in contrast
to a decrease of $9.4 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 was accounted for
by an increase in receipts and a decrease in payments.
Profits before tax increased $113.8 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $48.3
billion in the fourth. 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 $90.1 billion in the first quarter (from -$15.8 billion to -$105.9 billion), in contrast
to an increase of $153.5 billion in the fourth. The inventory valuation adjustment decreased $1.8 billion
(from -$103.2 billion to -$105.0 billion), compared with a decrease of $66.8 billion.
The large decrease in the first-quarter capital consumption adjustment reflects the expiration of
"bonus depreciation" claimed under the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010. (Current bonus
depreciation estimates are net of offsetting bonus depreciation that was claimed in earlier years. For
detailed data, see the table "Net Effects of the Tax Acts of 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009, and 2010 on
Selected Measures of Corporate Profits" at www.bea.gov/national/xls/technote_tax_acts.xls.) 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.

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 gross domestic product, use table 2.
See “Explanatory Note” at the end of the tables.

1. Food excludes personal consumption expenditures for purchased meals and beverages, which are classified in food services.
2. 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, financial services furnished without

r Revised. Revisions include changes to series affected by the incorporation of revised wage and salary estimates for the fourth quarter of 2010.
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 2005 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.

1. For some components of final sales of computers, includes computer parts.
2. Farm output less intermediate goods and services purchased.
3. Consists of GDP less gross value added of farm, of households and institutions, and of general government.
4. Gross domestic income deflated by the implicit price deflator for gross domestic product. Includes changes due to the incorporation of revised wage and salary estimates for the fourth quarter of 2010.
5. Food excludes personal consumption expenditures for purchased meals and beverages, which are classified in food services.
6. 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, financial services furnished without
payment) and the final consumption expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households.

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 2005 -- 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 2007-08
annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2007 and 2008 as weights, and the 2007-08 annual
percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2007 and 2008 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 the percent change 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 (2005) dollar estimates." For most series, these estimates, which are presented in
table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2005 by a corresponding quantity index
number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 2005
and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 2006, then the chained (2005) dollar value of
this component in 2006 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.
