Notes on release

Reinstatement of trend estimates

The trend estimates attempt to measure underlying behaviour in business activity. Due to the disruption to regular patterns in business activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABS suspended Business Indicators trend estimates from June quarter 2019 onwards.

In recent quarters, time series have reverted to more usual seasonal patterns, and it was assessed that the impacts of COVID-19 are no longer driving volatility in the data. The trend estimates were reinstated in the June quarter 2024 release.

Due to the degree of disruption caused by COVID-19, the ABS will not publish trend estimates for all series from March quarter 2020 to September quarter 2022 (inclusive), as estimates throughout the pandemic period are likely to be misleading for users.

Comparison between company gross operating profits and gross operating surplus

Valuation changes have had an impact on the value of inventories held by Australian businesses this quarter. An Inventories Valuation Adjustment (IVA) is applied in the calculation of the Gross Operating Surplus of private non-financial corporations (GOS) estimate in the Australian National Accounts. The IVA for the December quarter 2024 is $1,703m which is $3,294m higher than the September quarter 2024 IVA of -$1,591m.

No adjustment is made to the Company Gross Operating Profits (CGOP) estimate in this publication and, as a result, users should exercise caution when comparing CGOP and GOS. It should be noted that there are other differences between the two series. In particular, changes are made to GOS when annual benchmarks are applied, and slightly different seasonal factors apply to the two series. Given this, while CGOP movements are an appropriate indicator for GOS, the two series will not have equivalent seasonally adjusted movements from quarter to quarter.
