GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: SECOND QUARTER 2009 (THIRD ESTIMATE)
CORPORATE PROFITS: SECOND QUARTER 2009 (REVISED ESTIMATE)

Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- decreased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent in the second quarter of 2009,
(that is, from the first quarter to the second quarter), according to the "third" estimate released by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 6.4 percent.
The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for
the "second" estimate issued last month. In the second estimate, the decrease in real GDP was 1.0
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).
The decrease in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected negative contributions from
private inventory investment, nonresidential fixed investment, residential fixed investment, personal
consumption expenditures (PCE), and exports that were partly offset by positive contributions from
federal government spending and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction
in the calculation of GDP, decreased.
The much smaller decrease in real GDP in the second quarter than in the first primarily reflected
much smaller decreases in nonresidential fixed investment and in exports, an upturn in federal
government spending, a smaller decrease in private inventory investment, an upturn in state and local
government spending, and a smaller decrease in residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a
much smaller decrease in imports and a downturn in PCE.

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.

- 2Motor vehicle output added 0.19 percentage point to the second-quarter change in real GDP after
subtracting 1.69 percentage points from the first-quarter change. Final sales of computers subtracted
0.04 percentage point from the second-quarter change in real GDP after adding 0.06 percentage point to
the first-quarter change.
The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 0.5 percent in the second quarter, the same increase as in the second estimate; this index
decreased 1.4 percent in the first quarter. Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross
domestic purchases increased 0.8 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 0.2
percent in the first.
Real personal consumption expenditures decreased 0.9 percent in the second quarter, in contrast
to an increase of 0.6 percent in the first. Real nonresidential fixed investment decreased 9.6 percent,
compared with a decrease of 39.2 percent. Nonresidential structures decreased 17.3 percent, compared
with a decrease of 43.6 percent. Equipment and software decreased 4.9 percent, compared with a
decrease of 36.4 percent. Real residential fixed investment decreased 23.3 percent, compared with a
decrease of 38.2 percent.
Real exports of goods and services decreased 4.1 percent in the second quarter, compared with a
decrease of 29.9 percent in the first. Real imports of goods and services decreased 14.7 percent,
compared with a decrease of 36.4 percent.
Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 11.4 percent
in the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 4.3 percent in the first. National defense increased
14.0 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 5.1 percent. Nondefense increased 6.1 percent, in contrast to a
decrease of 2.5 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment increased 3.9 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 1.5 percent.
The change in real private inventories subtracted 1.42 percentage points from the second-quarter
change in real GDP, after subtracting 2.36 percentage points from the first-quarter change. Private
businesses decreased inventories $160.2 billion in the second quarter, following a decrease of $113.9
billion in the first quarter and a decrease of $37.4 billion in the fourth.
Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 0.7
percent in the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 4.1 percent in the first.

Gross domestic purchases
Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- decreased 2.3 percent in the second quarter, compared with a decrease of 8.6 percent in the
first.

- 3Gross national product
Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property
supplied by U.S. residents -- decreased 1.0 percent in the second quarter, compared with a decrease of
6.6 percent in the first. GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the
world, which decreased $7.4 billion in the second quarter after decreasing $6.1 billion in the first; in the
second quarter, receipts decreased $8.4 billion, and payments decreased $1.0 billion.

Current-dollar GDP
Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- decreased
0.8 percent, or $26.8 billion, in the second quarter to a level of $14,151.2 billion. In the first quarter,
current-dollar GDP decreased 4.6 percent, or $169.3 billion.

Revisions
The “third” estimate of the second-quarter is 0.3 percentage point less of a decrease, or $9.0
billion higher, than the "second" estimate issued last month. The upward revision to real GDP primarily
reflected an upward revision to nonresidential fixed investment.

Corporate Profits
Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) increased $43.8 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of
$59.1 billion in the first quarter. Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation
adjustment) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- decreased $30.5 billion in
the second quarter, in contrast to an increase of $16.2 billion in the first.
Taxes on corporate income increased $35.6 billion in the second quarter, compared with an
increase of $47.0 billion in the first. Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments increased $8.2 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $12.0 billion in
the first. Dividends decreased $62.1 billion, compared with a decrease of $51.8 billion; currentproduction undistributed profits increased $70.3 billion, compared with an increase of $63.7 billion.

- 4Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $28.5 billion in the second quarter, compared
with an increase of $115.9 billion in the first. Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased
$29.8 billion in the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $40.2 billion in the first. In the second
quarter, real gross value added of nonfinancial corporations decreased, and profits per unit of real value
added increased. The increase in unit profits reflected decreases in unit labor and nonlabor costs that
more than offset a decrease in unit prices.
The rest-of-the-world component of profits decreased $14.6 billion in the second quarter,
compared with a decrease of $16.6 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.
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 depreciation-accounting practices used for federal income tax returns. According to this
measure, domestic profits of both financial and nonfinancial corporations increased. The increase in
nonfinancial corporations reflected increases in retail trade, in manufacturing, and in information that
were partly offset by decreases in wholesale trade and in transportation and warehousing. Within
manufacturing, the largest increases were in motor vehicles, in “other” nondurable goods, and in
chemical products. The largest decrease was in petroleum and coal products.
Profits before tax increased $90.6 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of
$186.4 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 increased $16.3 billion in the second quarter (from -$144.9 billion to -$128.6
billion), in contrast to a decrease of $69.3 billion in the first. The inventory valuation adjustment
decreased $63.0 billion (from $81.1 billion to $18.1 billion), compared with a decrease of $58.1 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 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 payment) and the final consumption expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households. Percentage changes for these series are included in the addenda
to table 8 and appendix table A.
See “Explanatory Note” at the end of the tables.

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. Food excludes personal consumption expenditures for purchased meals and beverages, which are classified in food services.
5. 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.
