GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: SECOND QUARTER 2011 (THIRD ESTIMATE)
CORPORATE PROFITS: SECOND QUARTER 2011 (REVISED ESTIMATE)
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 1.3 percent in the second quarter of 2011,
(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 increased 0.4 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 increase in real GDP was 1.0
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).
The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from
nonresidential fixed investment, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), exports, and federal
government spending that were partly offset by negative contributions from state and local government
spending and private inventory investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP,
increased.
The acceleration in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a deceleration in imports,
an upturn in federal government spending, and an acceleration in nonresidential fixed investment that
were partly offset by a deceleration in PCE, a downturn in private inventory investment, and a
deceleration in exports.
Final sales of computers added 0.07 percentage point to the second-quarter change in real GDP
after adding 0.08 percentage point to the first-quarter change. Motor vehicle output subtracted 0.10
percentage point from the second-quarter change in real GDP after adding 1.08 percentage points to the
first-quarter change.

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.

- 2The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 3.3 percent in the second quarter, the same increase as in the second estimate; this index
increased 4.0 percent in the first quarter. Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross
domestic purchases increased 2.7 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 2.4
percent in the first.
Real personal consumption expenditures increased 0.7 percent in the second quarter, compared
with an increase of 2.1 percent in the first. Durable goods decreased 5.3 percent, in contrast to an
increase of 11.7 percent. Nondurable goods increased 0.2 percent, compared with an increase of 1.6
percent. Services increased 1.9 percent, compared with an increase of 0.8 in the first.
Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 10.3 percent, compared with an increase of 2.1
percent. Nonresidential structures increased 22.6 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 14.3 percent.
Equipment and software increased 6.2 percent, compared with an increase of 8.7 percent. Real
residential fixed investment increased 4.2 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 2.4 percent.
Real exports of goods and services increased 3.6 percent in the second quarter, compared with an
increase of 7.9 percent in the first. Real imports of goods and services increased 1.4 percent, compared
with an increase of 8.3 percent.
Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 1.9 percent
in the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 9.4 percent in the first. National defense increased 7.0
percent, in contrast to a decrease of 12.6 percent. Nondefense decreased 7.6 percent, compared with a
decrease of 2.7 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment decreased 2.8 percent, compared with a decrease of 3.4 percent.
The change in real private inventories subtracted 0.28 percentage point from the second-quarter
change in real GDP, after adding 0.32 percentage point to the first-quarter change. Private businesses
increased inventories $39.1 billion in the second quarter, following increases of $49.1 billion in the first
quarter and $38.3 billion in the fourth.
Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 1.6
percent in the second quarter, after increasing less than 0.1 percent.

Gross domestic purchases
Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 1.0 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 0.7 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 2.2 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of
1.5 percent in the first. GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the
world, which increased $28.0 billion in the second quarter after increasing $36.6 billion in the first; in
the second quarter, receipts increased $39.4 billion, and payments increased $11.4 billion.

- 3Current-dollar GDP
Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
4.0 percent, or $145.0 billion, in the second quarter to a level of $15,012.8 billion. In the first quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 3.1 percent, or $112.8 billion.
Revisions
The third estimate of the second-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.3 percentage point, or $11.3
billion, higher than the second estimate issued last month, primarily reflecting an upward revision to
personal consumption expenditures, a downward revision to imports, and an upward revision to exports.

Corporate Profits
Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) increased $61.2 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of
$19.0 billion in the first quarter. Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation
adjustment) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- increased $86.2 billion in the
second quarter, compared with an increase of $21.1 billion in the first.
Taxes on corporate income decreased $1.8 billion in the second quarter, in contrast to an increase
of $17.6 billion in the first. Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments increased $63.0 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $1.4 billion in
the first. Dividends increased $13.6 billion, compared with an increase of $19.0 billion; currentproduction undistributed profits increased $49.3 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $17.6 billion.
Domestic profits of financial corporations decreased $54.2 billion in the second quarter,
compared with a decrease of $38.7 billion in the first. Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations
increased $80.8 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $19.7 billion in the first. In
the second quarter, real gross value added of nonfinancial corporations increased, and profits per unit of
real value added increased. The increase in unit profits reflected an increase in unit prices and decreases
in both the unit labor and nonlabor costs that corporations incurred.

- more -

- 4The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $34.6 billion in the second quarter,
compared with an increase of $37.9 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
increase was accounted for by a larger increase in receipts than in payments.
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 financial corporations decreased while domestic profits of nonfinancial
corporations increased. The increase in profits of nonfinancial corporations reflected increases in all the
major subaggregates shown, except for retail trade. Within manufacturing, the largest increase in profits
was for petroleum and coal products.
Profits before tax increased $13.5 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of
$134.6 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 $8.1 billion in the second quarter (from $115.4 billion to $107.3
billion), compared with a decrease of $89.8 billion in the first. The inventory valuation adjustment
increased $55.6 billion (from -$116.0 billion to -$60.4 billion), in contrast to a decrease of $25.7 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 gross domestic product, use table 2.
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. Gross domestic income deflated by the implicit price deflator for gross domestic product.
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.
