| Sales and after-tax profits data for all manufacturing are presented in Table 1 on both a seasonally adjusted and an unadjusted basis. Seasonally adjusted historical data for this series, as well as for total durable and total nondurable manufacturing, are presented in Table 3. Data for individual manufacturing industries are not seasonally adjusted. |
For the fourth quarter of 1999, manufacturers` seasonally adjusted after-tax profits were $70.0 billion, up $2.5 (+/-1.3) billion from last quarter. On an unadjusted basis, fourth quarter after-tax profits were $65.8 billion, down $2.5 (+/-1.3) billion from last quarter, but up $22.0 (+/-1.5) billion from the same quarter a year ago.
Unadjusted durable manufacturers` after-tax profits for the fourth quarter of 1999 were $36.0 billion, up $1.2 or 3.4 percent (+/-2.8%) from the third quarter of 1999. The underlying industry categories reported mixed results. Electrical machinery, instruments, and motor vehicles reported increased earnings. Electrical machinery`s $3.0 (+/-0.5) billion increase was due to higher operating profits, dividend income, and other nonoperating income, and gains from asset sales. Motor vehicles` $1.0 (+/-0.1) billion increase was due primarily to higher operating profits and dividend income. Instruments` $1.1 (+/-0.3) billion improvement resulted from higher equity earnings and gains from asset sales. Fabricated metals and stone, clay, and glass reported declines of $1.7 (+/-0.3) and $0.7 (+/-0.2) billion, respectively, which were due primarily to lower operating profits. Also reporting statistically significant decreases were lumber, miscellaneous manufacturing, and nonferrous metals. Iron and steel, machinery, aircraft, and furniture showed no statistically significant changes.
When compared to the fourth quarter of 1998, unadjusted durable manufacturers` after-tax profits were up $6.9 billion or 23.5 percent (+/-4.4%). Most of the increase came from electrical machinery, instruments, stone, clay and glass, and motor vehicles. Electrical machinery`s $2.6 (+/-0.5) billion improvement was due to increases in other nonoperating and dividend income, and gains from asset sales. Instrument`s $2.1 (+/-0.5) billion increase was due to higher equity earnings, other nonoperating income, and gains from asset sales. Stone, clay and glass` increase of $1.4 (+/-0.1) billion was due primarily to the absence of significant nonrecurring charges. Motor vehicles` increase of $0.8 (+/-0.1) billion was due chiefly to improved equity earnings. Aircraft and furniture were the only two categories reporting statistically significant decreases. Iron and steel, nonferrous metals, fabricated metals, machinery, and lumber showed no statistically significant changes.
Unadjusted nondurable manufacturers` after-tax profits for the fourth quarter of 1999 were $29.8 billion, down $3.7 billion or 11.0 percent (+/-2.5%) when compared to the third quarter of 1999. Most underlying industry categories were down. Petroleum`s $1.5 (+/-0.1) billion decrease was due primarily to lower operating profits and significant restructuring and asset impairment charges. Drugs` $1.1 (+/-0.4) billion decrease was due to decreased operating profits and equity earnings more than offsetting increases in dividend and other nonoperating income. Residual of chemicals, apparel, and industrial chemicals also reported statistically significant declines. Printing and paper reported statistically significant increases. Printing`s $0.6 (+/-0.3) billion increase was due primarily to gains from asset sales. Food, textiles and rubber showed no statistically significant changes.
When compared to the same quarter in 1998, unadjusted nondurable manufacturers` after-tax profits were up $15.2 (+/-1.0) billion. Most underlying industry categories were up. Petroleum`s $8.8 (+/-0.1) billion increase, the largest of the group, was due primarily to improvements in operating profits and equity earnings and lower nonrecurring charges in the fourth quarter of 1999. Food`s $3.3 (+/-0.3) billion increase was due primarily to the absence of significant nonrecurring charges. Paper`s $1.9 (+/-0.2) billion increase was due primarily to higher operating profits. Industrial chemicals and residual of chemicals also reported statistically significant increases. Drugs and textiles reported statistically significant decreases. Apparel, printing, and rubber showed no statistically significant changes.
Manufacturers` seasonally adjusted sales for the fourth quarter of 1999 were $1,064.1 billion, up $15.7 billion or 1.5 percent (+/-1.0%) from last quarter. On an unadjusted basis, sales were $1,083.0 billion, up $35.3 billion or 3.4 percent (+/-1.0%) from last quarter, and up $76.6 billion or 7.6 percent (+/-1.1%) from the fourth quarter of 1998.
Seasonally adjusted durable sales were $581.7 billion showing no statistically significant change from last quarter. Seasonally adjusted nondurable sales were $482.4 billion, up $12.3 billion or 2.6 percent (+/-1.4%) from last quarter. Unadjusted durable sales were $593.4 billion, up $22.0 billion or 3.9 percent (+/-1.4%) when compared to the third quarter of 1999. On a same quarter a year ago basis, unadjusted durable sales were up $31.5 billion or 5.6 percent (+/-1.4%). Unadjusted nondurable sales were $489.6 billion, up $13.3 billion or 2.8 percent (+/-1.4%) from last quarter, and up $45.2 billion or 10.2 percent (+/-1.5%) from a year ago.

EXPLANATORY NOTES:
This quarter`s publication contains data revised due to the reclassification of corporations by industry, and revisions that reflect respondents` corrections of submitted data subsequent to original publication.
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.
