The three-month average global bookings and billings are a strong indicator for trends in the worldwide semiconductor industry. SEMI follows the protocol established by the U.S. Department of Commerce in publishing our figures only on a three-month average basis. We do this in order to smooth out the natural volatility in bookings. This report is distributed monthly approximately three weeks after the close of each month. Categories covered include front-end (wafer processing/mask/reticle/wafer manufacturing/fab facilities) equipment and final manufacturing (assembly/packaging/test) equipment.</font> </p><p><strong><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><strong>2014 SEMI Book-To-Bill Report Release Dates<br/></strong></font></strong></strong><font face="Arial" size="2">Important: Dates are subject to change; Report is released at 3:00 pm Pacific Time.</font> </p><table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="288"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong>January 23</strong></strong></span></p></td><td valign="top" width="264"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>July 21</strong></span></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="288"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong>February 20</strong></strong></span></p></td><td valign="top" width="264"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>August 21</strong></span></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="288"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong>March 20</strong></strong></span></p></td><td valign="top" width="264"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong>September 18</strong></strong></span></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="288"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong><strong>April 21</strong></strong></strong></span></p></td><td valign="top" width="264"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong>October 20</strong><br/></strong></span></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="288"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><strong><strong>May 22</strong></strong></strong></span></p></td><td valign="top" width="264"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>November 20</strong></span></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="288"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>June 19</strong></span></p></td><td valign="top" width="264"><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>December 18</strong></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><strong>Other notes</strong></font> </strong></strong></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2">I</font><font face="Arial" size="2">n addition to the SEMI Book-to-Bill report, two other organizations offer data on book-to-bill trends.

The SEAJ issues a monthly book-to-bill report based on three-month average global bookings and billings of Japanese headquartered equipment manufacturers. The SEAJ Book-to-Bill Report is issued on or shortly after the SEMI book-to-bill report release date.

The VLSI Research book-to-bill reports actual bookings and billings each month, not three-month averages. VLSI’s data include systems to manufacture integrated circuits, thin film heads, liquid crystal displays and MEMS, as well as spares and services.
