North American Semiconductor Equipment Industry Posts September 2016 Book-to-Bill Ratio of 1.05
SAN JOSE, Calif. — October 20, 2016 — North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.60 billion in orders worldwide in September 2016 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.05, according to the September Equipment Market Data Subscription (EMDS) Book-to-Bill Report published today by SEMI. A book-to-bill of 1.05 means that $105 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month.
SEMI reports that the three-month average of worldwide bookings in September 2016 was $1.60 billion. The bookings figure is 8.5 percent lower than the final August 2016 level of $1.75 billion, and is 3.2 percent higher than the September 2015 order level of $1.55 billion.
The three-month average of worldwide billings in September 2016 was $1.53 billion. The billings figure is 10.2 percent lower than the final August 2016 level of $1.71 billion, and is 2.6 percent higher than the September 2015 billings level of $1.50 billion.
"Semiconductor equipment bookings continue to outpace equipment billings,” said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. “Year-to-date bookings and billings data are on trend to surpass last year's levels.”
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.
Billings | Bookings | Book-to-Bill | |
April 2016 | $1,460.2 | $1,595.4 | 1.09 |
May 2016 | $1,601.5 | $1,750.5 | 1.09 |
June 2016 | $1,715.2 | $1,714.3 | 1.00 |
July 2016 | $1,707.9 | $1,795.4 | 1.05 |
August 2016 (final) | $1,709.0 | $1,753.4 | 1.03 |
September 2016 (prelim) | $1,534.4 | $1,604.1 | 1.05 |
