INTRODUCTION
The profit rates of the 63 industry and size t groups of manufacturing corporations tabulated in this reference manual were compiled
from past issues of the Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing
Corporations, prepared jointly since 1947 by the Division of Financial
Statistics in the Federal Trade Commission and the Branch of Economic
Research in the Securities and Exchange Commission*
These profit rates are based on uniform, confidential, quarterly
financial statements collected from a probability sample of all enterprises classified as manufacturers, except newspapers, which are required to file U.SN.' Corporation Income Tax Form 1120. A facsimile of
the Federal Trade Commission's quarterly financial report form used in
1962 appears on pages 59 and 60 of this reference manual.
The purpose of this sample survey is to produce, each calendar
quarter, an income statement and balance sheet for all manufacturing
corporations, classified by both industry and asset size. The size
groups are based on the total assets of the reporting corporation,
including all subsidiaries which were fully consolidated in the reporting company's latest report to its stockholders. The industry
groups are defined on pages 54 to 58, inclusive, and are based on the
Standard Enterprise Classification which was developed to classify
enterprises (especially corporate enterprises) by type of activity in
which engaged. The structure of the Standard Enterprise Classification follows closely that of the Standard Industrial Classification
which is used to classify establishments. A facsimile of the Federal
Trade Commission's nature of business report form used to classify a
reporting enterprise by industry appears on pages 61 and 62.
A more detailed description of the quarterly financial reporting
11
program may be found in the "Explanatory Notes which appear in the
current issues of the published quarterly summaries and are reprinted
in their entirety on pages 63 to 7 0 , inclusive, of this reference
manual.
The Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing Corporations is
available by subscription from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D . C. A subscription for
three years (12 quarterly issues) may be obtained for $3.75, plus
$1.50 additional if mailed to a foreign address.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Responsibility, The Federal Trade Commission and the Securities
and Exchange Commission have been jointly responsible since 1947 for
summarizing for each calendar quarter uniform, confidential financial
statements collected from a probability sample of all enterprises
classified as manufacturers, except newspapers, which are required to
file U.S. Corporation Income Tax Form 1120. These quarterly summaries
are prepared jointly by the Division of Financial Statistics in the
Federal Trade Commission and the Branch of Economic Research in the
Securities and Exchange Commission. They are scheduled to be mailed
to subscribers approximately 75 days after the end of the first,
second, and third calendar quarters, respectively, and approximately
95 days after the end of the fourth calendar quarter.
Purpose. The purpose of this sample survey is to produce, each
calendar quarter, an income statement and balance sheet for all manufacturing corporations, classified by both industry and asset size.
(Corporations account for more than 96 percent of total receipts from
all manufacturing activity in the United States; more than one-fourth of
the national income originates in corporate manufacturing; manufacturing
corporations account for more than half of all corporate profits.)
The quarterly summaries are used by various agencies in the executive
and legislative branches of the Federal government to analyze current
business conditions, evaluate the current financial position of small
business, estimate net income in national income statistics, estimate
current tax liability and future tax receipts, and determine current
monetary and credit policy. The quarterly summaries are also used by
thousands of nongovernment subscribers to measure efficiency and
appraise costs by comparing a company's operating results with the
average performance of companies of similar size or in the same line
of business, to determine whether to undertake new ventures by comparing the profitability of various types of business activity, and
as a guide to the relative movement of sales and profits in order to
reduce controversies in wage negotiations.
Comparisons with other statistics. The FTC-SEC quarterly financial estimates will not necessarily agree with other statistical compilations, whether based on a sample or complete canvass, for the
following reasons:
(1) The FTC-SEC quarterly financial estimates represent the aggregate of all enterprises classified as manufacturers, except newspapers, which are required to file U.S. Corporation Income Tax Form
1120. Each enterprise classified as a manufacturer which filed a
U.S. Corporation Income Tax Form 1120 in a given fiscal year or filed
1
an application for a Federal Social Security Employer s Identification
Number in a given calendar quarter has a known probability of being
64
drawn in the FTC-SEC quarterly financial reporting sample. In computing the quarterly financial estimates, therefore, each corporation in
the FTC-SEC sample is given its proper weight. Moreover, the composition of the sample changes each quarter so as to reflect the effect
of all corporate births, deaths, acquisitions, spin-offs, mergers, consolidations, and the like. In addition, one-eighth of the FTC sample
segment is replaced each quarter. The FTC-SEC quarterly financial
estimates, therefore, may differ significantly from estimates based on
the sums of reports for identical groups of companies.
(2) The consolidated enterprise concept is used in the FTC-SEC
quarterly financial estimates. This concept eliminates the multiple
counting of all interplant and other intra-company transfers included
in establishment statistics and, to the fullest extent possible, eliminates the multiple counting of all intercorporate transfers included
in statistics based on unconsolidated or partly consolidated reports
from multicorporate enterprises.
(3) The conventional accounting concept of profits is used in the
FTC-SEC quarterly financial estimates. This differs from the national
income concept of profits used in other estimates. In the national
income concept, capital gains and dividends received by corporations
are deducted from profits, capital losses and depletion charges are
added to profits, and adjustments are made for international flows
affecting profits.
(4) The FTC-SEC estimates by industry are based on the latest
edition of the SIC (Standard Industrial Classification). They differ
from estimates based on an industry classification system that does
not conform with the SIC.
(5) The FTC-SEC estimates by size are based on the total assets
of the consolidated corporate enterprise. They differ from estimates
based on other criteria, such as sales or number of employees, and from
estimates based on other reporting units, such as the establishment or
the unconsolidated or partly consolidated multicorporate enterprise.
(6) The FTC-SEC estimates are based on quarterly financial statements which, aggregated for any four consecutive quarters, differ from
similar aggregations of annual financial statements because of existing differences in accounting years, particularly among the larger
corporations.
Current sampling method. The sampling method used is essentially
an optimum allocation (that is, the greatest statistical precision obtainable with a given amount of funds). In terms of number of corporations, the current sample accounts for approximately seven percent of
the composite frame while, in terms of total assets, the current sample
accounts for approximately 87 percent of the composite frame. (See
page 70, Table 9.)
65
The first part of the composite frame from which the sample for
any particular quarter is drawn consists of the Internal Revenue Service
sample of U.S. Corporation Income Tax Forms 1120 filed for a given taxable year by all enterprises classified as manufacturers, except newspapers. The second part of the frame consists of all applications for
a Federal Social Security Employer's Identification Number filed by
manufacturing corporations, since the end of the year covered by the
income tax returns, with the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance.
A subsample is drawn each year from the first part of the frame, onefourth of which is introduced each quarter, replacing a comparable part
introduced eight quarters earlier. A sample is drawn and introduced
each quarter from the second part of the frame, replacing a comparable
part introduced eight quarters earlier. In processing the composite
list of sample companies, proper screening techniques are used to insure
that the two parts of the frame are mutually exclusive.
The sample from the income tax returns is drawn in .two stages. In
the first stage of the sampling, carried out by the Internal Revenue
Service for its own purposes, stratification by total assets is employed.
In the second stage, carried out by the Federal Trade Commission, stratification by both industry and total assets is used. The sampling fractions, applied to the cross-classifications defined by asset size and
industry, range from one-out-of-sixty to one-out-of-one.
In the sampling of applications for a Federal Social Security
f
Employer s Identification Number, the criteria for stratification are
number of employees, industry, and quarter in which application is
made. The sampling fractions, applied to the cross-classifications
defined by number of employees, industry, and quarter in which application is made, also^ range from one-out-of-sixty to one-out-of-one.
In sampling each of the two parts of the frame, sampling within
strata is systematic.
Comparison with past sampling methods. The first sample in this
survey was drawn from U.S. Corporation Income Tax Forms 1120 for the
taxable year 1943. A second sample was drawn from U.S. Corporation
Income Tax Forms 1120 for the taxable year 1949. The third (current)
sample was drawn from U.S. Corporation Income Tax Forms 1120 for the
taxable year 1954 and each taxable year thereafter. Each sample has
been supplemented by a quarterly sample of applications for a Federal
Social Security Employer's Identification Number filed with the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance.
The second and third samples were drawn in order to redistribute
the reporting responsibility among the smallest corporations and because the older the sample, the less representative it is of the current population. The third (current) sample meets both requirements
66
to the fullest extent permitted by known sampling methodology, consistent with a minimal budgetary allocation: (1) to maintain current
representation in each industry and asset size as effectively as
possible, a sample is drawn each year for replacement purposes and
(2) to redistribute the reporting responsibility as equitably as
possible among the smallest corporations, one-eighth of the FTC sample
segment is replaced each quarter.
The first sample was used to provide estimates for each of the
quarters in calendar years 1947 to 1951, inclusive; the second sample,
from third quarter 1951 to second quarter 1956, inclusive; the third
(current) sample, from second quarter 1956 to date. To splice the
estimates based upon the first and second samples, an overlap was
provided for third quarter 1951 and fourth quarter 1951. To splice
the estimates based upon the second and third samples, an overlap was
provided for second quarter 1956. Within the third (current) sample,
an overlap was provided for each quarter in calendar year 1958 to
splice the estimates based upon the 1945 and 1957 editions of the
Standard Industrial Classification (see the "Industry classification"
section below).
Industry classification. After a corporation has been introduced
into the sample, its industry is classified according to the latest information at hand. Unless in the interim it is deleted from the sample
or there is a change in the corporate structure of the reporting enterprise, the corporation remains in the same industry category for eight
quarters, at which time its classification is reviewed on the basis
of the latest information at hand. Where there is a change in the
corporate structure of the reporting enterprise, the industry classification is reviewed to take into account the effect of the change.
In the reports for first quarter 1947 to fourth quarter 1958,
inclusive, estimates were based on the 1945 edition of the SIC
(Standard Industrial Classification). Beginning with the first quarter
1959 report, estimates are based on the 1957 edition of the SIC. The
first quarter 1959 report contains estimates for each quarter in 1958
revised according to the 1957 edition of the SIC so as to provide a
four-quarter overlap in the estimates.
Size classification. After a corporation has been introduced
into the sample, its size is classified according to its total assets
at the end of the quarter for which it first submits a quarterly financial statement. Unless it is deleted from the sample in the interim,
the corporation remains in the same asset size category until the first
quarter of the following calendar year, at which time it is classified
according to its total assets as at the end of that quarter. (Where
there is a change in the corporate structure of the reporting enterprise, the new reporting enterprise is classified according to its
67
total assets at the end of the quarter in which the change has occurred.)
Changes in the classification of corporate enterprises by asset size,
therefore, contribute to the differences between estimates of the fourth
quarter closing surplus and the following first quarter opening surplus
for each asset size (see "Precision of the estimates" section below).
Composition of the sample. The sample consists of (1) approximately two percent of all manufacturing corporations with total assets
under $1 million, (2) approximately 25 percent of all manufacturing
corporations with total assets of $1 million to $5 million, and (3) all
manufacturing corporations with total assets of $5 million and over.
The Securities and Exchange Commission collects quarterly financial
statements from corporations classified as manufacturers which are
required to file annual financial reports with the SEC. The Federal
Trade Commission collects quarterly financial statements from all other
manufacturing corporations in the sample. (See page 70, Table 9.)
Precision of the estimates. More than 2,700 aggregates are estimated each quarter (and an approximately equal number of ratios calculated each quarter). Each estimated aggregate has its own standard
deviation which indicates the difference that can be expected, due to
sampling, between the estimated aggregate and a comparable total based
on a complete canvass^. Each estimated aggregate will differ from a
comparable total based on a complete canvass by less than one standard
deviation approximately 68 times out.of 100, by less than two standard
deviations approximately 95 times out of 100, and by less than two and
one-half standard deviations approximately 99 times out of 100. The
sample is designed so that one standard deviation of the estimate for
the item "Net profit before Federal income taxes" for all manufacturing
corporations amounts to less than one percent of that estimated aggregate. For most of the industry groups, one standard deviation of the
estimate for this item amounts to less than five percent of the estimated aggregate.
Each report form received is reviewed b y accountants and, where
variations from conventional accounting are encountered, adjustments
are made after communicating with company officials. In the review,
the surplus reported in the balance sheet must be the same as the
closing surplus reported in the income statement, the closing surplus
must reconcile with the opening surplus for the quarter, and the opening surplus for the quarter must be the same as the closing surplus
for the preceding quarter. Since corporations are added to and deleted
from the sample each quarter, however, estimates of the opening surplus
for the quarter are usually not identical to the estimates of the closing surplus for the preceding quarter. This is so because corporations
are added to the sample with an opening surplus which was not reflected
in the estimates of the closing surplus for the preceding quarter,
while corporations are deleted from the sample with a closing surplus
68
which is not reflected in the opening surplus for the quarter following;
in either instance, the opening surplus or the closing surplus of any
corporation may be positive or negative.
Financial statements in ratio form. Many kinds of quantitative
comparisons are used to measure the financial strength of a company
and the success of its operations. The simplest is to compare related
financial items, such as sales and profits, and to express the relationship in the form of a ratio. By use of these ratios, various
aspects of a company's operations may be compared with the performance
of other companies or groups of companies of similar size or in a
similar line of business.
Certain tables show each income statement item as a percent of
net sales and each balance sheet item as a percent of total assets.
The operating and financial characteristics of the respective industries and asset sizes are thus reduced to a common denominator so as
to facilitate analysis by executives, investors, grantors of credit,
11
and others. These common denominator or "common size statements, as
they are often called, are a valuable external standard in gauging the
success of a particular company's operations.
These tables also include these additional basic operating ratios:
(1) Annual rate of profit on stockholders' equity at end of period
measures the 1 earning power of a company or group of companies from the
stockholders point of view; it also provides a basis for comparing
rates of profit of various industries and asset sizes. This ratio is
obtained by dividing the net profit before or after Federal income taxes
for the quarter (multiplied by four to put it on an annual basis) by
stockholders' equity at the end of the quarter. Stockholders' equity
consists of capital stock (net of treasury stock), capital surplus,
minority interest, earned surplus and surplus reserves, and reserves not
reflected elsewhere (the bulk of the last item is surplus reserves because not all companies include such reserves with earned surplus as
called for on the report form). Ideally, stockholders' equity should
be represented by the average of stockholders' equity at the end of the
quarter and at the end of the preceding quarter; such calculations,
however, would delay issuance of the published report more than the
differences would justify.
(2) Current assets to current liabilities measures the potential
ability of a company or group of companies to meet current obligations.
It is obtained by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. It is expressed as the number of times total current assets
covers total current liabilities.
(3) Total cash and U.S. Government securities to total current
liabilities measures the ability of a company or group of companies to
69
satisfy current obligations with cash on hand or its equivalent and
supplements the ratio of current assets to current liabilities as defined in (2) above. It is obtained by dividing total cash and U.S.
Government securities (including tax anticipation bills and nonguaranteed Federal agency issues) by total current liabilities. It is
expressed as the number of times (ordinarily less than one) total
cash and U.S. Government securities covers total current liabilities.
(4) Total stockholders' equity to debt measures, for a company or
group of companies, the relationship between capital owned and capital
1
borrowed. It is obtained by dividing total stockholders equity, as
defined in (1) above, by the total of short-term loans from banks, installments due in one year or less on long-term debt, and long-term
debt due in more than one year. It is expressed as the number of times
1
total stockholders equity covers the total of short-term loans from
banks, installments due in one year or less on long-term debt, and
long-term debt due in more than one year.
Financial statistics for earlier years, tabulated
by the Internal Revenue Service from income tax returns
filed by manufacturing corporations, have been published
annually in Statistics of Income, Corporation Income Tax
Returns. The most recent complete tabulation, for 1959-60,
may be purchased for $1.75 from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D . C .
