Revenue is important to NRC, not only as a means of financing operating and capital expenditures, but also as an indication of the value that NRC provides to its clients and collaborators. NRC earned total revenues of $169.6 M in 2009-2010, up from $156.2 M in 2008-2009. NRC's largest component of revenue results from the sale of goods and services at $74.7 M, primarily consisting of research services provided to industry and academic clients ($49.6 M), with the remaining balance provided by the sale of goods and information products ($11.7 M), NRC rights and privileges ($8.9 M) and lease and use of property ($4.5 M), all calculated on an accrual basis.
NRC incurred total expenses of $1,033.7 M in 2009-2010, up from $899.4 M in 2008-2009. NRC's major expense components are salaries and employee benefits ($468.3 M) and grants and contributions ($281.2 M), representing 72.6% of total expenses. The $133.3 M increase results from NRC's participation with the implementation of Canada's Economic Action Plan. In total, NRC received and spent an additional $142.5 M in grants and contributions as a result of Canada's Economic Action Plan in order to support scientific research and development activities performed by Canadian organizations during 2009-2010.
