Seasonally Adjusted After-Tax Profits and Sales

Manufacturing Corporations
Seasonally adjusted after-tax profits of U.S. manufacturing corporations totaled $51.4 billion in the first quarter 2003, up $18.6 (+/-1.4) billion from the $32.9 billion recorded last quarter, the Department of Commerce's U.S. Census Bureau reported. First quarter profits were up $28.0 (+/-1.2) billion from the $23.4 billion recorded in the same quarter a year ago.

Seasonally adjusted sales for these manufacturers totaled $1,103.0 billion for the quarter, up $26.8 (+/-7.1) billion from the $1,076.2 billion recorded in the fourth quarter 2002, and up $78.1 (+/-6.8) billion from the $1,025.0 billion recorded the year before.

Profits per dollar of sales averaged 4.7 cents this quarter, up 1.6 (+/-0.1) cents from the 3.1 cents recorded last quarter, and up 2.4 (+/-0.1) cents from the 2.3 cents in the first quarter 2002.

Nondurable Goods Manufacturers
Nondurable goods manufacturers' seasonally adjusted profits were $37.7 billion, up $9.2 (+/-0.7) billion from the $28.5 billion recorded in the previous quarter, and up $10.9 (+/-0.7) billion from the $26.8 billion in the first quarter 2002.

Seasonally adjusted sales for the quarter at $533.7 billion were up $21.5 (+/-5.1) billion from the $512.2 billion recorded in the prior quarter, and up $70.8 (+/-4.8) billion from the $463.0 billion in the first quarter 2002.

After-tax profits averaged 7.1 cents per dollar of sales in the current quarter, 5.6 cents last quarter, and 5.8 cents a year ago.

Durable Goods Manufacturers
First quarter 2003 seasonally adjusted after-tax profits for durable goods manufacturers were $13.7 billion, up $9.4 (+/-1.2) billion from the $4.3 billion recorded in the previous quarter, and up $17.1 (+/-0.2) billion from the first quarter 2002 loss of $3.4 billion.

After-tax profits averaged 2.4 cents per dollar of sales for the quarter, 0.8 cent in the fourth quarter 2002, compared to a loss of 0.6 cent a year ago.

Unadjusted After-Tax Profits and Sales

Manufacturing Corporations
First quarter 2003 unadjusted after-tax profits for U.S. manufacturing corporations were $52.9 billion, up $28.2 (+/-1.2) billion over the $24.7 billion recorded in the first quarter a year ago. This improvement was due to higher operating profits and equity income, and lower nonrecurring charges. When compared to the fourth quarter 2002 after-tax profits of $26.7 billion, the first quarter 2003 after-tax profits were up $26.2 (+/-1.4) billion.

Unadjusted sales for the first quarter, at $1,069.7 billion, were up $75.6 (+/-6.8) billion from the $994.1 billion recorded in the same quarter a year ago. Compared to the prior quarter sales of $1,081.1 billion, sales were down $11.5 (+/-7.1) billion or 1.1 (+/-0.7%) percent.

Profits per dollar of sales averaged 4.9 cents this quarter, 2.5 cents in the fourth quarter 2002, and 2.5 cents in the first quarter 2002.

Nondurable Goods Manufacturers
First quarter 2003 nondurable goods manufacturers' unadjusted after-tax profits at $37.5 billion were up $11.0 (+/-0.7) billion from the $26.6 billion recorded in the first quarter 2002. Petroleum and coal products reported an increase of $8.7 (+/-0.1) billion resulting from higher operating profits and equity income. Pharmaceuticals reported an increase of $3.0 (+/-0.3) billion, mainly from improvements in operating income. The other chemical categories posted modest gains while the remaining nondurable industries after-tax profits declined or were not statistically different from the year earlier.

Unadjusted sales for the first quarter 2003 of $516.7 billion were up $69.1 (+/-4.8) billion from the $447.6 billion posted last year.

After-tax profits for this quarter averaged 7.3 cents per dollar of sales compared to 5.9 cents a year ago.

When compared to the fourth quarter 2002 after-tax profits of $25.7 billion, the first quarter 2003 after-tax profits were up $11.8 (+/-0.7) billion. Petroleum and coal products' gains of $7.6 (+/-0.1) billion were mainly due to higher operating profits and equity income this quarter.

Durable Goods Manufacturers
First quarter 2003 durable goods manufacturers posted unadjusted after-tax profits of $15.4 billion, compared to a loss of $1.8 billion a year earlier. Most durable goods manufacturing categories improved their after-tax positions this quarter. Communications equipment maintained the lead with gains of $6.6 (+/-0.5) billion due to improved operating margins and fewer nonrecurring charges. Machinery products' gain of $5.7 (+/-0.1) billion and motor vehicles and parts' gain of $4.2 (+/-0.1) billion both resulted from increased equity income and fewer nonrecurring charges.

Unadjusted sales for the quarter at $553.0 billion were up $6.5 (+/-5.4) billion or 1.2 (+/-1.0%) percent from a year earlier.

After-tax profits for the quarter averaged 2.8 cents per dollar of sales compared to a loss of 0.3 cents a year ago.

When compared to the fourth quarter 2002 after-tax profits of $1.0 billion, the first quarter 2003 after-tax profits rose $14.3 (+/-1.2) billion. Most underlying industries showed improvements this quarter over the last.

Mining Corporations

First quarter 2003 unadjusted after-tax profits for mining corporations with assets of $50 million and over were reported at $3.8 billion, up $2.9 (+/-0.1) billion from the same quarter a year earlier.

Unadjusted sales for the quarter were $23.4 billion, up $6.4 (+/-0.2) billion from the same quarter a year ago.

After-tax profits per dollar of sales averaged 1.3 cents this quarter, the same as the first quarter a year ago.

NOTE
These advance data, based on quarterly financial reports from approximately 7,600 corporations, were released today from the Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing, Mining, and Trade Corporations – First Quarter 2003 (QFR-03-1).

SAMPLING
The data presented in this report are estimated from a sample survey and therefore are subject to sampling variability as well as nonsampling variability such as response error, nonreporting, and coverage errors. Estimates of sampling variability are presented in the publication. A statement such as "up 2.5 (+/-0.15) cents," appearing in the text, indicates the range (+2.35 to +2.65 cents) in which the actual change is likely to have occurred. The range given for the change is a 90 percent confidence interval that accounts only for sampling variability. If the range had contained zero (0), it would have been uncertain whether there was an increase or decrease; that is, the change would not have been statistically significant. For any comparison cited without a confidence interval, the change is statistically significant. The quarterly publication includes more detailed explanations of confidence intervals and sampling variability, along with additional measures of sampling variability.
