North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor
equipment posted US$1.51 billion in orders worldwide in June 2015
(three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.98, according
to SEMI. A book-to-bill of 0.98 means that US$98 worth of orders were
received for every US$100 of product billed for the month.
SEMI
reports that the three-month average of worldwide bookings in June 2015
was US$1.51 billion. The bookings figure is 2.6% lower than the final
May 2015 level of US$1.55 billion, and is 3.5% higher than the June 2014
order level of US$1.46 billion.
The three-month
average of worldwide billings in June 2015 was US$1.54 billion. The
billings figure is 1.0% lower than the final May 2015 level of US$1.56
billion, and is 16.2% higher than the June 2014 billings level of
US$1.33 billion.
"The June book-to-bill saw slight
declines in the three-month averages for both booking and billings
compared to May," said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. "Both
figures, however, are above the trends reported one year ago and the
first half of the year has been one of positive growth."
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.
