A book-to-bill of 1.00 means that $100 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.</p> <p>The three-month average of worldwide bookings in February 2014 was $1.29 billion. The bookings figure is 0.7 percent higher than the final January 2014 level of $1.28 billion, and is 20.1 percent higher than the February 2013 order level of $1.07 billion.</p> <p>The three-month average of worldwide billings in February 2014 was $1.29 billion. The billings figure is 4.5 percent higher than the final January 2014 level of $1.23 billion, and is 32.2 percent higher than the February 2013 billings level of $974.7 million.</p> <p>“Equipment bookings and billings continue along a steady trend in the first quarter,” said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. "The book-to-bill ratio remains at or above parity for the fifth consecutive month, and the booking and billing values remain well above the figures reported one year ago."</p> <p>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 U.S. dollars.</p> <table cellpadding="5" border="1"> <tbody><tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b> </b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center"><b>Billings</b><br/> (3-mo. avg)</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center"><b>Bookings<br/> </b>(3-mo. avg)</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center"><b>Book-to-Bill</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b>September 2013 </b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center">1,020.9</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center">992.8</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center">0.97</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b>October 2013 </b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center">1,071.0</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center">1,124.5</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center">1.05</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b>November 2013 </b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center">1,113.9</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center">1,238.0</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center">1.11</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b>December 2013 </b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center">1,349.7</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center">1,380.8</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center">1.02</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b>January 2014 </b>(final)<b> </b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center">1,233.2 </p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center">1,280.3</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center">1.04</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="179"> <p><b>February 2014 (prelim)</b></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="100"> <p align="center">1,288.6</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="94"> <p align="center">1,288.9</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="93"> <p align="center">1.00</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p><i>Source: SEMI, March 2014</i></p> <p><br/> The data contained in this release were compiled by David Powell, Inc., an independent financial services firm, without audit, from data submitted directly by the participants.
