A book-to-bill of 1.06 means that $106 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.
The three-month average of worldwide bookings in July 2009 was $569.7 million. The bookings figure is about 62 percent greater than the final June 2009 level of $351.7 million, and about 36 percent less than the $889.0 million in orders posted in July 2008.
The three-month average of worldwide billings in July 2009 was $538 million. The billings figure is just over 22 percent greater than the final June 2009 level of $440.5 million, and about 50 percent less than the July 2008 billings level of $1.077 billion.
"The increases in both bookings and billings reported by North American equipment manufacturers boosted the book-to-bill ratio above parity for the first time since January, 2007.” said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. “Even with that improvement, however, bookings remain significantly below year-ago figures.”
The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of US dollars.
