° Preliminary * Revised

* Shipments and new orders are the totals for the period and are adjusted for trading-day and calendar-month variations.

{n) When new orders for a prior month are negative because of cancellations, the percentage change calculation is algebraically negative, even though there is a
net dollar increase from the prior month to the current month.

Note: Estimates of manufacturers’ shipments, inventories and orders are subject to survey error and revision. One major component of survey error is
nonsampling error, which includes errors of coverage, response, and nonreporting. Since the survey panel is not @ probability sample, estimates of sampling

error cannot be calculated. Further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations are contained in our most recent annual benchmark publication,
Current industrial Reports: M3-1{00), "Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories, and Orders: 1992-2000."
