3 Business Confidence The business confidence level for Sonoma County reached a new 6-year high in the Winter of 2013 with a score of In a survey conducted by the Economic Development Board, business executives were asked their perception of current economic conditions in Sonoma County on a -point scale, with a score of 1 representing the lowest possible confidence level and the highest. When asked to judge the current economic conditions solely in their industry, as opposed to Sonoma County as a whole, business executives expressed higher confidence with a score of Business confidence in Sonoma County has been strengthening since the recessionary period of Since hitting a low of 3.2 in the winter of 2008, confidence has soared by nearly 0%. With confidence returned to pre-recession levels, businesses will be more inclined to step up hiring, make capital investments, and increase production. Comparing business executives opinion about the performance of their industry currently and over the next six months shows an optimistic trend. The survey reveals that during this period the average confidence level of Sonoma County rises to 6.. When business owners where asked about confidence in their specific industry, the average anticipated confidence level dipped to Industry results were also mixed, with several indicating no change in confidence.

4 Purchasing Trends The Purchasing Trends Index (PTI) value for Sonoma County in the Winter of 2013 was 70. An index score above 0 indicates that the economy is expanding. The PTI survey measures a company s performance in key industry metrics over the past two quarters. This marks the second year that Sonoma County has scored higher than the United States since This indicates that business feel less economically challenged operating in Sonoma County than in the US as a whole. By industry, technology has the highest PTI index value at 79 points, followed by agriculture with 76, and the other category with 72. Businesses that identified themselves by other where primarily in the tourism, media, and transportation industries. High index values imply that these industries performed especially well over the last two quarters Purchasing Trends Index, Q1 Sonoma County National 70 Breaking the PTI down into its components allows us to identify areas in which each industry did especially well and also where businesses struggled. Two components, new customer orders and production, indicated rapid expansion by scoring above a 70 in each industry. The magnitude of the scores in new customers further suggests that more consumer spending is a main driver of Sonoma County s economic performance. The results in the employment component were positive, with industries indicating that they are hiring more employees or providing more hours for current employees.

5 Looking Forward The business outlook over the next six months for Sonoma County is positive in several industries. A large proportion of businesses reported wholesale profits and investments in locations and equipment are expected to increase in the future. While employment and exports showed strong performance, the majority of respondents indicated that these categories would remain unchanged. 80% 70% 60% 6-Month Business Outlook Increase Decrease No Change The employment outlook for agriculture and manufacturing are among the strongest of all industries, with 67% and 61% of business executives anticipating a hiring increase, respectively. On the other hand, health services reported a negative outlook, with 0% predicting a decrease in employment. 0% 40% 30% 20% The six month investment outlook broken down by industry shows strong expectations across the board and most notably in agriculture, and non-profits and government. About two-thirds of business executives in hospitality, technology, and manufacturing have a positive attitude towards investments over the next six months. In contrast, health service representatives reported a negative-neutral outlook. When asked their attitude toward significant capital expenditures, the majority of business executives responded that they were cautious. Capital expenditure is important for the continued growth of infrastructure and productivity of Sonoma County. Uncertainly regarding both the United States and European economies prevents capital expenditure because businesses are not sure they will return a profit on their investment. % 0% Full-time employees Non-Profit/ Government Prof/Financial Services Investments in Locations- Equipment Net Profits Employment Outlook by Industry Exports Increase Decrease No Change 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 0% 120% Attitude Towards Significant Capital Expenditures.8% Aggressive Moderate Cautious Non-Profit/ Government Investments Outlook by Industry Increase Decrease No Change 4.% 34.6% Prof/Financial Services 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 0% 4
6 Special Focus - Salary Projections The Economic Development Board polls businesses on special topic questions in each survey that are pertinent to current economic issues.

About a third of business executives expect no change. During the recession, business shifted more responsibilities on each employee while keeping pay flat in an effort to decrease costs. An increase in wages and salaries reflects returning confidence in the economy, and will help drive demand for goods and services in Sonoma County. The majority of business executives expect the unemployment rate to fall over the next six months with 46.7% anticipating a decline, 41.1% anticipating no change, and 12.2% anticipating a rise. 33% 11% 22% 32% Less than -1% No Change 0-1% 1-2% 2% + In the business confidence survey, the EDB asked when the economy is expected to be back on track.

7 Respondent Summary The Economic Development Board distributed 234 surveys representing 11 industry sectors in order to gather opinions about the confidence of Sonoma County s businesses. The EDB received 6 surveys in response, for a response rate of 4.2%. This is a high enough response rate to construct a snapshot of the business sentiment in Sonoma County.

8 Methodology, Sources, and Notes Note on Survey and Data In order to get a cross-section of businesses in Sonoma County, the EDB sent surveys out to 234 business leaders in Sonoma County. We selected businesses across 11 sectors so that their opinions represent the overall economy. The EDB received 6 surveys in response for a response rate of 4.2%. This is a high enough response rate to construct a snapshot of the business sentiment in Sonoma County. The results of the survey were tabulated in house, and most reported statistics are averages, medians, or majorities. The EDB does not guarantee the accuracy of these statistics nor does the EDB guarantee that they are a factual representation of the business climate in Sonoma County. If there are errors in our methodology, sources or notes, please contact the EDB at edb@sonoma-county.org. Note on Special Focus The economic and wage expectations questions are part of the 2013 Winter Business Confidence Survey s special focus. The special focus reports on important sector and economic issues facing Sonoma County. Previous topics have included tourism, business development, and workforce availability and training. Suggestions are welcome. Index Methodology An index is an economic tool that is used to make general comparisons across a range of metrics. The Sonoma County purchasing trends index is modeled after the national Purchasing Managers Index from the Institute for Supply Management ( It is intended to provide a measurement for the pace at which an economy is expanding or contracting. The national PMI uses information detailing companies new orders, production, employment, supply deliveries and inventories. Sonoma County s index mirrors the PMI in computation. However, due to differences in compilation methodology, the two indices may not be directly comparable. The formula for the PTI in each category is, using the responses to the question, What has happened to the following within your company in the past quarter? with regard to new customer orders, production, employment, supplier deliveries and inventories. Respondents then chose answers of Increased, Decreased, or Unchanged. The indices for each category were then calculated by: (I + 0.*U)/N where I is the number of people responding increased, U is the number of people responding unchanged and N is the number of people responding to this particular question. Once all of the indices have been computed, the numbers are inserted into the overall PTI formula of: PTI = 0.3 * O * P * E * S * I, where PTI = Purchasing Manager s Index; O = New Customer Orders; P = Production; E = Employment; S = Supplier Deliveries; I = Inventories. The following industries comprise the PTI: and Construction,, Retail and Wholesale,,, and. The Sonoma County Business Confidence Index is the mean of all respondents perceptions of Sonoma County s current economic situation on a scale of 1-. Due to adjustments in methodology, some percentages differ from those cited in earlier Sonoma County Business Confidence reports.
