Foreign direct investment position and income data are provided both by "country of foreign parent" and by "country of ultimate beneficial owner (UBO)." The foreign parent data are BEA's featured direct investment statistics; UBO data are marked as such. The foreign parent is the first foreign entity outside the United States in a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain that has direct investment in the affiliate. The UBO is the entity, proceeding up the foreign ownership chain, which is not more than 50 percent owned by another entity. The UBO is the entity that ultimately owns or controls and thus ultimately derives the benefits and assumes the risks from owning or controlling an affiliate. The UBO is often but not always the same as the foreign parent.
In addition to equity and debt investment from its foreign parent, a U.S. affiliate may receive loans from (or make loans to) foreign affiliates of the foreign parent (FAFPs). The affiliate may also have interest with foreign affiliates of the foreign parent. The value of these loans and interest are included in these data and are classified by country of the FAFP. In the UBO data, all loans and interest of the U.S. affiliate are classified by country of the UBO.

Size ranges are given in employment cells that are suppressed. The size ranges are: A--1 to 499; F--500 to 999; G--1,000 to 2,499; H--2,500 to 4,999; I--5,000 to 9,999; J--10,000 to 24,999; K--25,000 to 49,999; L--50,000 to 99,999; M--100,000 or more.
Data for each foreign affiliate are classified by country based on its country of location-that is, the country in which the affiliate's physical assets are located or in which its primary activity is carried out.

Data are classified by country of the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) of the U.S. affiliate. The UBO is the person that ultimately owns or controls the U.S. affiliate. (A 'person' may be and individual, company, government, trust, partnership, etc.) More formally, the UBO is that person, proceeding up a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain, beginning with and including the foreign parent, that is not owned more than 50 percent by the person above it. The foreign parent is the first person outside the United States in a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain that has a direct investment in the affiliate. Unlike the foreign parent, the UBO may be located in the United States.
1. First year expenditures include expenditures in the year in which the transaction occurred.
2. Planned total expenditures include first year expenditures for all investments plus planned future expenditures (and expenditures from past years, if any) for establishments and expansions that are multiyear investments. For acquired U.S. businesses, first year expenditures and planned total expenditures are the same.
3. Current employment includes the employment of the acquired, established, or new facilities of expanded affiliates at the time the transactions occurred or the investments were initiated.
4. Planned employment consists of the current employment of acquired enterprises, the planned employment of established business enterprises once they are fully operating, and the planned employment associated with the new facilities of expanded business enterprises once they are fully operating.
5. For acquisitions, sales are total annual sales for the fiscal year that ended on, or before, the acquisition of the U.S. business enterprise. For establishments, sales are projected total annual sales for the first fiscal year of operations of the newly established U.S. business enterprise. For expansions, Sales are total projected annual sales of the new facility once it is fully operating.
6. Net income is the annual net income (loss) after provision for U.S. Federal, State, and local income taxes for the fiscal year that ended on, or before, the acquisition of the U.S. business enterprise or projected for the first fiscal year of operations of the newly established U.S. business enterprise.
7. For acquisitions, total assets, liabilities, and owner's equity are for the fiscal year that ended on, or before, the acquisition of the U.S. business enterprise. For establishments, planned total assets, liabilities, and owner's equity are for the first fiscal year of operations of the newly established U.S. business enterprise.
