Overview
The following commodity based data comes from the various royalty reporting systems. The systems are calendar year based meaning they are not directly comparable to the fiscal year revenue reported in the financial statements (annual reports) and the revenue summaries below.
Data reported (each fall) on this page is;
- In the calendar year data, amendments filed by industry are reflected in the year they amend (subject to periodic industry amendments)
- The royalty system data includes only actual invoice data (any discrepancy in the numbers reported is due to rounding)
- These calendar year numbers are not reported on financial statements, they are unaudited
