METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
The final data are published once a year together with the publication of data for the 4th quarter of the current year.

In 2022–2024, the energy crisis had an impact on business operations. Subsidies related to business effects are also taken into account in the calculation of operational revenues and value added. In accordance with accounting standards, enterprises also include state aid due to high energy costs among these subsidies, and this should be taken into account when comparing data on a year-on-year basis.

From the reference year 2024 on, in addition to units with more than 49 employees also units with 49 or fewer employees are fully covered by the survey if they have at least EUR 10 million in revenue.

During the transition period after SKD 2025 (NACE Rev. 2.1) entering into force, statistical data will still be collected and published according to SKD 2008 (NACE Rev. 2). The transition periods will vary depending on the individual surveys.

More information about indicators is available in the methodological explanations.
