Jan'07 Semiconductor Book-to-Bill 1.06

NORTH AMERICAN SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY POSTS
JANUARY 2007 BOOK-TO-BILL RATIO OF 1.06

SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 15, 2007 – North American-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.71 billion in orders in January 2007 (three-month average basis) and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.06 according to the January 2007 Book-to-Bill Report published today by SEMI. 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 January 2007 was $1.71 billion. The bookings figure is about 14 percent higher than the final December 2006 level of $1.50 billion and about 39 percent above the $1.23 billion in orders posted in January 2006.

The three-month average of worldwide billings in January 2007 was $1.62 billion. The billings figure is about nine percent higher than the final December 2006 level of $1.48 billion and over 28 percent higher than the January 2006 billings level of $1.26 billion.

"Bookings and billings for semiconductor manufacturing equipment from North American-based companies increased as global memory chip makers sustained investments in the period," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI.

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.
