1 Estimates for the most recent year are preliminary. Preliminary data are subject to revision.
2 Total revenue includes investment income, capital gains, extraordinary gains and other non-recurring items.
3 Total expenses include write-offs, capital losses, extraordinary losses, interest on borrowing, and other non-recurring items.
4 Salaries, wages and benefits include vacation pay and commissions for all employees for whom T4 slips were completed. This category also includes the employer portion of employee benefits for items such as Canada/Québec Pension Plan or Employment Insurance premiums. Salaries and wages do not include working owners' dividends nor do they include the remuneration of owners of unincorporated business. Therefore the relative level of salaries, wages and benefits will be lower in industries where unincorporated businesses are significant contributors.
5 Profit margin is derived as follows: total revenue minus total expenses, expressed as a percentage of total revenue. The derived figure excludes corporation income tax paid by incorporated businesses and individual income tax paid by unincorporated businesses. For unincorporated businesses, profit margin includes unpaid remuneration accruing to partners and proprietors, which is not recorded as salaries, wages and benefits. Therefore the profit estimate will be higher in industries where unincorporated proprietorships and partnerships are significant contributors.
6 The number of establishments is comprised mainly of small companies. Of the 1324 establishments for the industry only 444 were in the survey portion. This means that most of the movement in number of establishments from year to year comes from 884 companies that had under $50,000 in revenue.
Note: Due to rounding, components may not add to total.
