Beginning with the data collected for the fourth quarter 2024 (released March 2025), the Quarterly Financial Report (QFR) will be sampled and published using the 2022 NAICS (North American Industry Classification System). Estimates for the prior four quarters (fourth quarter 2023 through third quarter 2024) will be restated using the new NAICS definitions to provide comparability of the estimates across these quarters. For more information regarding the new methodology, contact the Manufacturing Surveys Statistical Methods Branch staff at 301-763-7630.
