Preface

This section of handbook represents information highlighting changes in production by sections of OKVED "Mining and quarrying", "Manufacturing", "Electricity, gas and water supply" and their subsections, shipped products (works, service) shipped by economic activity, production of basic products, production capacity usage for selected products output, some financial indicators of current operations of organizations.

Data for the previous periods is adjusted according to the results of annual statistical reporting and with a view to changes made by economic agencies to previously presented data, data for 2012 is preliminary data.

Volume of shipped own produced goods, works performed and services rendered is the value of own production of all goods, works performed and service rendered shipped or sold or exchanged directly (according to the agreement of barter). This indicator is compiled since 2005.

Amount of goods shipped is the value of the goods produced by a legal entity and actually shipped outside in the reference period (to other legal entities or individuals), including goods handed with official documents to the customer on the spot irrespectively either money transfer were received on the account of seller or not.

Number of acting organizations -indicator characterizing number of organizations and their standalone units which are carrying out production activities irrespectively of a main activity, i.e. by one of the following actual activity - mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply.

Standalone unit of an organization - is a standalone unit at or from equipped stationary workplaces of which business activities are carried out.

Groupings by economic activity are the number of respective actual economic activities carried out by organizations irrespectively of their main activity.

Index of production is a relative indicator characterising changes in the production output over comparable periods. There are individual and aggregate indices of industrial production. The individual index reflects changes of given product output and is calculated as a ratio of production volume of this type of product in quantity terms in the comparable periods. The aggregate index of production characterises integrated changes in production of all types goods and products and reflects changes of the value generated in the process of production as a result of only quantitative changes of physical volume of production. To compute the aggregate index of industrial production, individual indices for definite types of production are aggregated stage by stage into indices of economic activities, subgroups, groups, subclasses and classes, subsections and sections of OKVED.

Index of industrial production is aggregated index by activities "Mining and quarrying", "Manufacturing", "Electricity, gas and water supply".

Production capacity is the maximum possible output of products (per a year, 24 hours, a shift) or a volume of yielded or processed raw materials in respective nomenclature and assortment. It is determined with due regards for the full use of established procedure of work of production equipment and production capacity. The balance of production capacity characterises the value of the capacity for output of a specific kind of product, the factor of its change and the level of utilisation. In accordance with the balance of production capacity the average annual production capacity operated during the report period and the share (percent) of its use are calculated. The percent of production capacity use is a relative indicator characterising the degree of the use of production capacity for the output of selected types of products. It is calculated as a ratio of the actual output of product to the average annual capacity operated for the production of the given products during the reference period.

Production of products in physical terms is measured, as a rule, by gross output of products including products used for own production needs and made of customer-supplied raw materials. Customer-supplied raw materials are defined as raw materials belonging to the customer and transferred for processing to other organizations to produce products in accordance with the signed contracts.

Data on production of products in physical terms are represented with due regard for the activities of private persons engaged in entrepreneurship but without status of a legal entity.

Information on output of production is presented in accordance with Russia classification of products by economic activity (OKPD), implemented in statistical practice since January 1, 2010.

Average annual number of employees of organizations of organizations is determined by summing of the average payroll number of employees for all months of the year and the received sum should be divided by 12. The average payroll number of employees is compiled by summing up the number of payroll employees for each calendar day of month and the received sum should be divided by the number of calendar days of this month. The average payroll number of employees does not include women on pregnancy, maternity and additional child care leaves, employees studying at educational establishments and having additional leave on their own account as well as employees who entered an educational establishment and were on the leave on their own account to pass examination.

Balanced financial result (profit less loss) - is a final financial result calculated using book-keeping records covering all economic activities of organizations. It comprises total sum of profits (losses) from sales of products (works, services), fixed assets, other property and other net income from non-trade transactions. Data related to financial balance are presented, in accordance with OKVED, excluding data on small businesses, at actual prices, in the structure and in accordance with methodology adopted for the corresponding years starting since 2005.

Profitability of goods (works, services) sold is a ratio of a financial balance result (profit less losses) from sales of products (works, services) and a self cost of sold goods, products (works, services). When a balance of financial result from sales of goods, products (works, services) is negative it means that there is a loss ratio. Data on this indicator, compiled according to the OKVED, are presented since 2005.
