ECONOMIC REPORT: Incomes surge 3.7% on Microsoft dividend; Excluding one-time payout, incomes rise 0.6%

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. personal incomes soared a record 3.7 percent in December, largely as the result of a one-time $32 billion dividend payment from Microsoft, the Commerce Department said Monday.

Excluding the dividend, incomes rose 0.6 percent, the government said.

Meanwhile, consumer spending increased 0.8 percent in December, as spending on durable goods jumped 4.3 percent. Spending on nondurable goods increased 0.6 percent and spending on services increased 0.4 percent. Auto sales spiked during the month, driven by renewed sales incentives by automakers.

Economists were expecting a gain of about 2.9 percent in incomes and 0.8 percent in spending, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.

November's income gain was revised higher to 0.4 percent from 0.3 percent previously. November spending was revised higher to 0.4 percent increase from 0.2 percent previously.

Consumer prices fell during December. The personal consumption expenditure price index dropped 0.1 percent, while the core PCE index, which excludes food and energy prices, was flat.

With prices falling, real consumer spending rose 0.9 percent in the month, the fastest increase in spending since July.

Because most shareholders won't pay taxes on their dividend until sometime in 2005, after-tax or disposable incomes increased even faster, at a record 4 percent. Real disposable incomes (adjusted for price changes) increased a record 4.2 percent.

The personal savings rate rose from 0.3 percent in November to 3.4 percent in December.

Wages and salaries increased 0.4 percent in December, double November's rate. Proprietors' income increased 1.5 percent, while income from dividends increased 69.8 percent. Rental income was flat.

Because of the way the data are presented, the government's estimates actually vastly overstate the impact of the one-time dividend. The data are presented as annual rates, which means that monthly totals are multiplied by 12, as if Microsoft had adopted a policy of paying out $32 billion every month.

The $32 billion paid out by Microsoft was reported as an annual $298 billion increase in December's income. The government estimates about $24.8 billion of the $32 billion was paid to U.S. residents. The rest went to foreigners or institutional investors.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates owned about 1.1 billion shares of Microsoft stock when the dividend was paid. Gates' share of incomes boosted U.S. incomes by 0.4 percent. Excluding Gates, personal incomes increased 3.3 percent.

Gates has given all $3.3 billion in dividend proceeds to his charitable foundation.

Of course, it will all disappear in January, when the data could show a 3 percent-plus decline in incomes.
