This chapter presents the Structural Business Survey data. The survey is carried out annu­ally and covers enterprises of all eco­no­mic ac­tivities, except for agriculture and financial in­ter­me­dia­­tion. For the preparation of statis­tical informa­tion, se­ve­ral da­ta sour­ces were used: annual en­ter­­pri­se ac­tivity re­ports (F‑01), submitted to Statistics Lithua­nia, annu­al financial state­ments (balance sheet and profit/loss statement) of enterprises, col­lec­ted by the state en­ter­prise Centre of Regis­ters, profit tax returns of individual en­ter­pri­ses, as well as in­for­mation on natural persons carrying out econo­mic activity.

Due to different principles of accounting, statis­ti­­cal information on assets, property and liabilities, income, profit and loss covers only public and private companies, state and municipal enter­prises, foreign affiliates, small part­nerships, agricultural and cooperative partnerships, public bodies (hereinafter referred to as “companies”). The public bodies included are only those which cover more than half of their operating costs with the revenue earned and those agricultural partnerships whose economic activity is not agriculture. Data on revenue, expenditure and profit of individual enterprises as well as on the number of natural persons and their income are presented separa­tely. From 2010, to charac­terise busi­ness development, the main indicators covering enter­prises of all eco­nomic acti­vities are presented at the beginning of the chapter.

In 2019, Statistics Lithuania introduced a new statistical unit of the enterprise. From reporting year 2018, the enterprise is constituted of one legal unit, a combination of legal units, or part of a legal unit (until 2017, the enterprise consisted of one legal unit or part of a legal unit). The enterprise is equated to combination of legal units in cases where the legal units are part of an enterprise group and their combined activities form an operating segment. The 2018 provisional data are calculated by a new statistical unit of the enterprise.

The assets of the companies amounted to EUR 83.2 billion and, compared to 2017, increased by EUR 4.3 billion or 5.5 per cent. The liabilities of the companies increased more than equity: equity amounted to EUR 40.5 billion and accounted for 48.7 per cent of total assets of the companies; compared to 2017, it in­creased by 2.1 per cent. In 2018, the liabilities of the companies (grants and subsidies, provisions, current and non-current liabilities, payables, accrued expenses and deferred income) amounted to EUR 42.7 billion and accounted for 51.3 per cent of total assets of the companies; compared to 2017, increased by 8.9 per cent.
