• Quarterly worldwide bookings and billings data collection program for PV manufacturing equipment
• Data is based on direct inputs from PV equipment manufacturers worldwide – truly global coverage
• SEMI and the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) collaborate on data collection
• Quarterly reports provide equipment bookings and billings data by region, by supply chain segment, and by equipment type
Worldwide PV Equipment Data Program

20
• The book-to-bill ratio is most commonly used in the semiconductor equipment industry, and it is applicable to any industry that takes orders significantly in advance of billings
• Photovoltaic manufacturing equipment industry embodies such characteristics
• A book-to-bill ratio can serve as an important indicator for strategic planning and forecasting in the photovoltaic and related industries: – A ratio = 1 indicates stability – A ratio > 1 indicates growth – A ratio < 1 indicates decline

Supply Chain Impact
• PV manufacturers – Significant inventory built-up – Fierce cost and pricing competition – Sharply falling ASPs – Overcapacity and low utilization – Eroding margins – Increasing financial pressures
• PV manufacturing equipment suppliers – Customer pushing out or cancelling capacity expansion plans – Sharp decline in order intake – Significant decline in revenues expected

Challenging 2011 & 2012
• The PV industry entered into a down cycle at the end of the first quarter of this year due to weakness in European market
• End market demand growth is expected to be much smaller in magnitude even by the most optimistic forecast
• Europe will continue to be the dominant market in 2011 and 2012, though its market share will decline with flat or even negative growth
• US, emerging markets such as China and India, are expected to be the growth drivers
Source: 2011 and 2012 data includes forecasts by Citibank, Solarbuzz, iSuppli, Deutsche Bank, Digitmies, and SEMI
32
Ongoing Industry Structure Transformation • Significant slowdown in capacity expansion • Continued geographic shift of manufacturing to Asia • Vertical integration • Technology differentiation
– Market demand has been shifting towards solar cells with high conversion efficiencies
• Industry consolidation – Weed out inefficient capacities – Fewer, stronger, more efficient players – Industry supply chain matures
• Large corporations endorsing solar – Newcomers with strong financial capital, technology and low production
costs will likely accelerate industry transformation • TSMC • GE • Samsung
