Hi Chris:

A quick explanation is - In the semiconductor industry the book (is $$ value of orders) and bill (is the $$ value of shipments). It is a 3 month rolling average. So over 1 and the sector is expanding and under 1 contracting. Last month it came in @ 0.81.

I beleive there is a detail description on the semi website (which I lost link).

Tim

The book-to-bill ration is the ratio of business booked or orders received to business billed aka semis shipped and bills sent.

A book-to-bill of 1.0 implies incoming business = outgoing product. .9 is slowing future business, 1.1 means more demand and thus less inventory backing up.

Expectations are for .81

Good Luck,

Lee
