GLOSSARY
Capital expenditure Total (gross) expenditure on acquiring fixed tangible and intangible assets, before deduction of trade-in allowances, and including expenses (except capitalised interest) incurred during the year in acquiring such assets. Fixed tangible assets include land, dwellings, other buildings and structures, plant, machinery and equipment (including motor vehicles). Intangible assets include capitalised exploration expenditure, patents, licences and goodwill. Capital work done for own use Capitalised work done by the employees or proprietors of a business in manufacturing, constructing, installing or repairing assets, in mineral and petroleum exploration activities, and the in-house development of computer software, for use by the business or for rental or lease. This work is valued at the capitalised costs of the materials and the wages and salaries involved. Capitalised purchases Goods drawn from inventories for use as fixed tangible assets in capital work done by the employees or proprietors of a business for use by the business or for rental or lease. Capitalised wages and salaries Capitalised payments for work done by own employees in manufacturing, constructing, installing or repairing assets, in mineral and petroleum exploration activities or in developing computer software in-house for use by the business or for rental or lease. Change in inventories The value of total closing inventories less total opening inventories. Closing inventories The value of all inventories of finished goods (including inventories for resale), work-in-progress (less progress payments billed), raw materials, fuels and containers at the end of the reporting period. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation/amortisation allowed on tangible and intangible assets. Includes, for lessees only, depreciation/amortisation in respect of finance leases. Disposal of assets Proceeds from the sale of tangible assets (plant, machinery, equipment, land, dwellings, other buildings and structures), and intangible assets (such as patents, licences and goodwill). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) Profit prior to the deduction of net interest (interest income minus interest expenses), income tax, depreciation and amortisation. Items classifiable to other income are also excluded. Employer contributions into superannuation Includes all employer contributions to superannuation funds (including the employer productivity contribution) and provisions for employer contributions to superannuation funds. Also includes expenses relating to employer funded defined benefit schemes. Employee contributions and salary sacrifice contributions are excluded. Employment at end of June Number of persons working for businesses during the last pay period ending in June of the given year. Includes working proprietors and partners, employees absent on paid or prepaid leave, employees on workers' compensation who continue to be paid through the payroll, and contract workers paid through the payroll. Excludes persons paid by commission only, non-salaried directors, volunteers and self-employed persons such as consultants and contractors. Fringe benefits tax Fringe benefits tax is payable by employers when certain benefits in excess of normal wages or salaries (e.g. free or discounted goods or services) are received by their employees (or associates of employees) in connection with their employment. Funding from government for operational costs Funding from federal, state and/or local government for operational costs (e.g. wages and salaries, rent, food). Includes bounties, subsidies, export grants, apprenticeship and traineeship schemes, community service obligations, and amounts reimbursed under fuel tax credits. Excludes funding from government for specific capital items. Funding from government for specific capital items Includes capital grants, and low interest or interest free loans made by government to businesses to encourage expenditure on specific equipment (e.g. environmental protection equipment). Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) GFCF is measured by the total value of a producer's acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during the reference period, plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by the productive activity of businesses. Fixed assets are tangible or intangible assets produced as outputs from processes of production that are themselves used repeatedly or continuously in other processes of production for more than one year. The derivation of GFCF is as follows: Acquisition of
plus Other transport equipment
Computer software capitalised Computers and computer peripherals Electronic equipment and electrical machinery Communications equipment Other plant and equipment Dwellings, other buildings and structures Computer software expensed Mining exploration expenditure written off less Disposal of plant, machinery and equipment (including motor vehicles)
equals GFCF Industry class The structure of ANZSIC comprises four levels, ranging from industry division (broadest level) to industry class (finest level). Activities are narrowly defined within the industry class level, which is identified by a four-digit code, e.g. Industry Class 1510 Pulp, paper and paperboard manufacturing. Usually, an activity is primarily defined to one class. However, some activities may be primary to more than one class. Industry division The structure of ANZSIC comprises four levels, ranging from industry division (broadest level) to industry class (finest level). The main purpose of the industry division level is to provide a limited number of categories which give a broad overall picture of the economy. There are 19 divisions within ANZSIC, each identified by an alphabetical letter, that is, 'A' for Agriculture, forestry and fishing, 'B' for Mining, 'C' for Manufacturing, etc. Industry subdivision This is the broadest level category within each industry division of ANZSIC and is identified by a two-digit code, e.g. Industry Subdivision 14 for Wood product manufacturing. Industry subdivisions are built up from industry groups which, in turn, are built up from industry classes. Industry value added (IVA) IVA represents the value added by an industry to the intermediate inputs used by the industry. IVA is the measure of the contribution by businesses, in the selected industry, to gross domestic product. The derivation of IVA for individual businesses depends on whether they are classified as market or non-market producers. Non-market producers are those institutions which provide goods or services either free or at prices that are not economically significant. In other words, their prices are not significantly influenced by the amounts that producers are willing to supply, nor the amounts that users are willing to pay to purchase the goods or services being provided. Conversely, market producers provide goods and services at prices that are economically significant. For market producers, the derivation of IVA is as follows:
plus Funding from federal, state and/or local government for operational costs plus Capital work done for own use plus Closing inventories less Opening inventories less Purchases of goods and materials less Other intermediate input expenses equals IVA However, it should be noted that IVA is a measure of economic activity and is not equivalent to operating profit before tax (OPBT). Wage and salary expenses, and most other labour costs, are not taken into account in the calculation of IVA for market producers, and neither are interest expenses, depreciation or a number of lesser expenses. On the income side, OPBT includes total income, whereas IVA only includes sales and service income and government funding for operational costs. As a principle, the output of non-market production is valued at cost, including intermediate input expenses. As shown in the above derivation, purchases and other intermediate input expenses are deducted from output in order to arrive at IVA. Accordingly, the derivation of IVA for non-market producers can be described as follows:
plus Depreciation and amortisation equals IVA Estimates of industry value added are obtained by summing the contributions of businesses classified to that industry, both market and (if any) non-market producers. Market producers predominate in most industries. Industry value added is related to, but different from, the national accounting variable gross value added. For national accounts purposes, gross value added is calculated by adjusting IVA to include General government units and also to account for some other effects. Industry value added per person employed IVA of businesses which operated in a given industry during the given year ended 30 June, divided by the number of persons employed by businesses in that industry during the last pay period ending in June of that year. Persons employed include working proprietors and partners. Interest coverage The number of times that businesses can meet their interest expenses from their earnings before net interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), i.e. earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation/interest expenses. Interest expenses Includes interest paid on loans from banks, finance companies, partners, and related or unrelated businesses, and in respect of finance leases. Also includes interest equivalents such as hedging costs and expenses associated with discounted bills. Excludes bank charges other than interest, and capital repayments. Interest income Includes interest received from deposits in banks and non-bank financial institutions, loans, advances, finance leases and earnings on discounted bills. Excludes capital payments received. Investment rate (value added) The proportion of industry value added (IVA) used to acquire capital, i.e. ( capital expenditure / IVA ) x 100. Labour costs Comprises wages and salaries (including salary sacrificed earnings paid on behalf of employees and employee share based payments and stock options), employer contributions into superannuation, workers' compensation premiums/costs, fringe benefits tax and payroll tax. Also includes capitalised wages and salaries. Large business See the entry for business size. Medium business See the entry for business size. Natural resource royalties expenses Includes payments under mineral lease arrangements, payments under timber and quarrying lease arrangements, and resource rent taxes and royalties. Excludes payments for royalties from intellectual property (e.g. patents and copyrights) and computer software licence fees. Gold tax payments are also excluded. Net capital expenditure The value of total capital expenditure less proceeds received from the disposal of assets. Opening inventories The value of all inventories of finished goods (including inventories for resale), work-in-progress (less progress payments billed), raw materials, fuels and containers at the beginning of the reporting period. Operating profit before tax (OPBT) Profit before extraordinary items are brought to account and prior to the deduction of income tax and appropriations to owners (e.g. dividends paid), i.e. total income - total expenses + change in inventories. Other expenses Expenditure items not separately itemised. Examples include bad and doubtful debts, natural resource royalty expenses, land tax and rates, computer software expenses, freight, other royalties expenses, payments to employment agencies for staff and other operating expenses. Other income Income from sources not separately itemised, including:
Also includes funding from government for specific capital items in the Industry performance table only. Other intermediate input expenses This is a balancing item. It is the difference between the sum of (sales and service income, funding from government for operational costs, capital work done for own use and change in inventories) less purchases of goods and materials and industry value added. Payroll tax A tax levied by state and territory governments on the amount of wages and salaries paid by a business. Excludes pay-as-you-go withholding tax. Profit margin The percentage of sales and service income available as operating profit before tax (OPBT), i.e. ( OPBT / sales and service income ) x 100. Purchases Comprises purchases of materials, components, containers and packaging materials for manufacture or construction, purchases of finished goods for resale, and delivery charges separately invoiced or itemised by suppliers. Excludes capitalised purchases. Purchases of goods and materials Purchases plus capitalised purchases. Rent, leasing and hiring income See the entry for sales and service income. Sales and service income Includes: Sales of goods
Income from services
Rent, leasing and hiring income
These are valued net of discounts given and exclusive of goods and services tax (GST). Extraordinary items are also excluded. Sales and service income per person employed Sales and service income of businesses which operated in a given industry during the given year ended 30 June, divided by the number of persons employed by businesses in that industry during the last pay period ending in June of that year. Persons employed include working proprietors and partners. Sales of goods See the entry for sales and service income. Selected labour costs Comprises:
Small business See the entry for business size. Superannuation See the entry for employer contributions into superannuation. Total expenses The sum of all expense components. Total income Comprises sales and service income, interest income, funding from government for operational costs and other income (for details, see the entries for these items). Total selected industries Total selected industries comprises data for all ANZSIC divisions, excluding ANZSIC Division K Financial and insurance services. For a detailed discussion of the scope and coverage of the estimates, see Explanatory Notes paragraphs 6-25. Units classified to the General government institutional sector are excluded from the scope of estimates for most industries that comprise Total selected industries. This limits coverage to private sector entities which particularly affects Public administration and safety, Education and training, and Health care and social assistance divisions. Wages and salaries The gross wages and salaries (including capitalised wages and salaries) of all employees of the business. The item includes severance, termination and redundancy payments, salaries and fees of directors and executives, retainers and commissions of persons who received a retainer, bonuses, and annual and other types of leave. Provision expenses for employee entitlements (e.g. provisions for annual leave and leave bonus, long service leave, sick leave, and severance, termination and redundancy payments) are also included, as are salary sacrificed earnings and remuneration of employees in the form of share based payments and stock options. (Note that in issues of this publication prior to 2006-07, salary sacrificed earnings and remuneration of employees in the form of share based payments and stock options were reported under related expense items. For example, salary sacrificed for superannuation was included in employer contributions into superannuation.) Payments related to self-employed persons such as consultants, contractors and persons paid solely by commission without a retainer are excluded. The drawings of working proprietors and partners are also excluded. Wages and salaries per employee The wages and salaries paid by businesses which operated in a given industry during the given year ended 30 June, divided by the number of employees in that industry during the last pay period ending in June of that year. Working proprietors and partners are not included in employee estimates. The drawings of working proprietors and partners are not included in estimates of wages and salaries. Wages and salaries to sales and service income ratio The wages and salaries paid by businesses which operated during the year ended 30 June as a proportion of the sales and service income of businesses which operated during the same year. Workers' compensation premiums/costs Workers' compensation is a compulsory insurance cover to be taken out by all employers, except for self-insured workers, according to legislative schemes to cover employees suffering injury or disease in the course of or arising out of employment.
