S&P 500: 2009 Global Sales

 In 2009, S&P 500 foreign sales decreased 16.0%, while domestic


sales decreased 11.2%.

 European sales from S&P 500 companies declined to 25.6% of all


foreign sales in 2009 from 27.7% in 2008, as Asia increased to 17.6%
of all foreign sales in 2009 from 13.2% in 2008. Canada representing
the largest single country represented 7.4% of foreign (outside U.S.)
sales is down from 9.3% in 2008.

 Information Technology continued to be the dominating sector with


over 56% of its declared sales being foreign (outside U.S.) in nature;
the sector represents 20.4% of all U.S. foreign sales.

 Foreign income taxes paid declined 32%, as U.S. issues sent US$ 43
billion less to non-US governments than they did in 2008.

 Half (250) of the S&P 500 companies still do not report sufficient
information for a complete breakdown – the issues are big on
pictures, short on tabular tables.

 Of the reporting 250 companies, 46.6% of all sales were produced


and sold outside of the United States, compared to 47.9% in 2008,
45.8% in 2007, and 43.6% in 2006.

S&P 500: 2009 Global Sales August 2010

Overview
Seven years ago, U.S. equities made up 57.6% of the world equity market (world equity market
is defined in this paper by the S&P Global Broad Market Index). Today, U.S. equities make up 42.8%.
Six years ago, the U.S. Gross World Product (GWP) (at purchasing power parity) comprised 29.6% of
the world GWP. Today, it is 16.8%, with China accounting for 10.4%, and the consolidated European
Union for 17.1%1. While the U.S. equity market and consumer remain the largest and most dominant
component of their respective groups, the U.S. is no longer the single overpowering element. Where
the U.S. used to catch a cold and the rest of the world got pneumonia, now the rest of the world gets
the flu. The recent rise, fall, and current stabilization of the Euro with respect to the U.S. dollar attest
both to the continued U.S. dominance, as well as its diminished status and percentage of world
markets. Additionally, the lender-lendee relationship between the U.S. and China demonstrates the
new term mutually assured interests and the new realities of global markets and economies. The
destination and manufacturing of U.S. products and services have equally changed. Helped along by
lower costs for labor, healthcare, pension and other post employment benefits (“OPEB”), and assisted
at times by tax laws and product regulations, U.S. companies have moved their operations abroad
where products can be more cost efficient to both manufacture and sell. Global growth, especially
within the emerging markets, now makes many of these products saleable in the regions where they
are produced.

While the current recession and market turmoil has had a significant impact on local markets,
the overall trend has not significantly changed. Growth outside of the United States has, and is,
expected to be greater than that of the growth within the U.S. The continuing shifts of labor, capital,
and resources are expected to continue outside of the U.S., even though the U.S. is viewed with much
higher political and economic stability.

This report quantifies the current status of known foreign sales within the S&P 500. While
globalization is apparent in almost all company reports, exact sales and export levels remain difficult to
obtain. Many companies tend to categorize sales by regions or markets, while others segregate
government sales. Additionally, intra-company sales (and hence profits) are sometimes structured to
take advantage of trade, tax, and regulatory polices. The resulting reported data available for
shareholders is therefore significantly less than the desired level for analysis. Still, with utilization of
half the issues in the S&P 500, it does permit a glimpse into its composition. What is needed is actually
defined reporting classifications and values in a tabular form, similar in nature to the many Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) required items. Additional reporting on country of
manufacturing, country of sale, and insight via a matrix of how a change in currency would impact costs
(both hedged and unhedged) would be ideal, but at this point such a matrix does not exist and there
appears little hope for that on the near-term horizon.

Unfortunately, the summary of data reporting has not improved over the years, and 2009 data
was extremely disappointing in terms of currency and recovery matters. This year we were able to

utilize 250 issues in our S&P 500 global sales review, down three from the 253 studied in 2008 and
down 1 from the 251 issues used in 2007. In the short run, the lack of reporting complicates the year-
to-year analysis and requires generalizations and approximations, whereas exact statistics would be a
valuable analytical component. It is hoped that reporting will “evolve” over time; however, given the
attention to markets, currency, growth, and domain in 2009, and the continued lack of reporting, hope
of such disclosure appears thin and dwindling.

Global Sales2
Total reported 2009 fiscal sales for the S&P 500 on an aggregate basis decreased 12.0% from
US$ 9.08 trillion to US$ 7.99 trillion, matching the level in 2005 of US$ 7.94 trillion. The sudden and
massive decline was the product of the global recession and the massive pull-back in consumer
spending in the U.S. Reported foreign sales for the current membership of the S&P 500, decreased
16.0% and U.S. domestic sales decreased 11.2%. Total reported foreign sales, as a percentage of full
sales (regardless of whether they reported foreign sales), decreased to 24.13% for 2009 from 27.16%
in 2008, 24.77% in 2007, and 24.69% in 2006. It is important to note that these values include issues
that have not fully reported their foreign data, and therefore underestimate the actual values. For
comparison, we utilized a sub-set of issues that reported full information. These issues paint a different
picture. For those issues, the S&P 500 sales decreased 11.1% in 2009 (after increasing 3.13% in
2008), foreign sales decreased 15.9% (after increasing 13.1% in 2008), and U.S. domestic sales
decreased 6.3% (after declining 5.0% in 2008). Foreign sales reported (as a percentage of sales)
decreased to 46.57% after increasing to 47.95% in 2008 from 45.84% in 2007 and 43.55% in 2006.

Sales are on a fiscal basis, since quarterly reporting is materially less than annual, and therefore does not match
official quarterly values; foreign sales are products and services produced and sold outside of the Unites States.

Income Taxes
While revenue decline in 2009 was of historic proportions, overall profits rebounded 14.9% on
an operating basis and 143% on a U.S. GAAP basis. Taxes, similar to cash-flow, were different. In
2008, income taxes paid by S&P 500 companies dramatically shifted as U.S. GAAP corporate profits
posted their worst decline in decades. For 2008, S&P 500 companies paid 26% more income taxes to
foreign countries than they did to the United States government. In 2008, Financials (which posted
massive losses that year), paid the U.S. government US$ 817 million in income taxes, while paying
US$ 13.3 billion to foreign governments - 16 times as much. As a group, taxes paid to foreign countries
through income taxes increased US$ 11.5 billion or 9.3%, while U.S. Federal income taxes declined
US$ 43.9 billion, or 29.1%. As a percentage of full income taxes, U.S. payments posted their fourth
annual consecutive decline, and represented a minority of income taxes, with 44.2% being paid to the
U.S. and 55.8% going to foreign countries. For 2009, however, as GAAP income recovered, taxes paid
to the U.S. government declined significantly less than foreign taxes. Specifically, federal income taxes
paid to the U.S. government declined 13.6% to US$ 92.7 billion from US$ 107.2 billion in 2008, as
income taxes paid to non-U.S. governments declined 32.0% to US$ 91.7 billion from US$ 135.1 billion
in 2008. The shift resulted in 50.2% of the taxes going to the U.S. and 49.8% going to non-U.S.
governments. While actual country payments are not reported, the aggregate loss of US$ 43.3 billion of
income to non-US sovereigns put additional budgetary pressures on an already strained system.

Selected Sector Sales


Due to specific disclosures and reporting, the aggregate data does not permit simple foreign
representation or sector analysis. We have therefore reduced the S&P 500 to issues that have
reported full foreign sales where the percentage of foreign sales represents between 15% and 85% of
total sales. At this stage of reporting we still believe this is the best approximation for calculating
aggregates, although we eagerly look forward to a time when the analysis can be done on the full group
without restraints.

For 2009, 250 of the S&P 500 companies (3 fewer than were utilized in 2008, which is 1 more
than 2007 and 11 more than 2006), and 91.9% of the foreign sales were utilized (verses 90.2% in 2008
and 90.4% in 2007).

Using the sub-set of 250 issues, 46.57% of the sales in 2009 were produced and sold outside of
the U.S., down from 47.94% in 2008, and up from 45.84% in 2007 and 43.6% in 2006. Information
Technology continued to dominate the sectors with 56.0% of its sales coming from abroad,
representing 17.0% of all foreign sales. The sector is up from its 17.4% representation in 2008, but
down from 19.1% of 2007. Seven of the ten issues that were not used because they had foreign sales
in excess of 85% were in Information Technology, and included Advanced Micro Devices at 87.0%,
Texas Instruments at 89%, and QUALCOMM at 94.0%. Therefore, we believe that this value
underestimates the representation. Energy continued to decline in its reported foreign sales, posting a
43.7% foreign sales value, down from 50.47% last year, and 60.0% in 2003. Given the current Gulf oil
spill and initial legislation for a ban on off-shore drilling before the U.S. Congress, additional exploration
and production for the Energy sector could shift to outside the U.S. in the coming years. Revenue break
downs were few in Telecommunications and Utilities, resulting in a lack of meaningful statistics.

make an investment in any such fund or other vehicle only after carefully considering the risks associated with
investing in such funds, as detailed in an offering memorandum or similar document that is prepared by or on
