EXPLANATORY NOTES
Figures in text are adjusted for seasonality, but not for inflation. Figures on new and unfilled orders
exclude data for semiconductor manufacturing.
“Virtually unchanged” indicates that the change is less than 0.05 percent for a percent increase or
decrease.
Description of the survey
This report is compiled from results of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories,
and Orders (M3) survey, which is a voluntary survey authorized by Title 13 of the United States Code. This
survey provides statistics on a calendar-month basis for manufacturers' value of shipments, new orders
(net of cancellations), end-of-month order backlog (unfilled orders), end-of-month total inventory (at
current cost or market value), and inventories by stage of fabrication (materials and supplies, work-inprocess, and finished goods). Data published from the M3 survey are based on a panel of approximately
5,000 reporting units that represent approximately 3,100 companies and provide an indication of monthto-month change for the Manufacturing Sector. These reporting units may be divisions of diversified large
companies, large homogenous companies, or single-unit manufacturers in 92 industry categories, which
are combined into 65 publication levels due to the small monthly panel size. The survey methodology
assumes that the month-to-month changes of the total operations of the reporting units in the M3 panel
effectively represent the month-to-month movements of all establishments that make up the category.
The companies for which shipments data are currently reported or imputed in the M3 survey represent
approximately 64 percent of the total value of shipments for manufacturing establishments in the 2012
Economic Census, and these companies include almost two-thirds of the manufacturing companies with
$500 million or more in shipments in the 2012 Economic Census. The companies for which shipments data
are currently reported in the M3 survey represent approximately 57 percent of the total value of
shipments for manufacturing establishments in the 2012 Economic Census. Statistics based on the M3
panel differ from the results that would be obtained from a complete enumeration of all manufacturing
companies. The M3 panel is not based on a probability sample; therefore, the sampling errors that are
normally provided with sample surveys cannot be measured. Nonsampling errors are attributable to many

sources. The use of company or divisional reports to estimate the monthly change for establishments is
one source of nonsampling error. The use of primarily large companies to represent the month-to-month
movement of all companies is another potential source. Any corrections will be published in the full
report. Corrections received after the full report will be released in the next month’s advance report. Any
revisions made later than two months will be reflected in the annual benchmark publication. Additional

Preliminary
Revised data due to late receipts and concurrent seasonal adjustment.
1
Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the end of the period. Not seasonally adjusted estimates of shipments and new orders include adjusted
data for non-calendar reporters. Seasonally adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday and trading-day differences, where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation, based on the results of the latest annual review of the
model parameters. Estimates are not adjusted for price changes.
2
Estimates and percent changes of shipments for the semiconductor industry are included in computers and electronic products, and all other applicable aggregate totals.
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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see .

Data on new orders are not available for the semiconductor industry. Estimates and percent changes for new orders exclude semiconductor industry data.
(NA) - New Orders month-to-month percent change is not provided for Nondefense aircraft and parts because the denominator has a negative value.
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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see .

Preliminary
Revised data due to late receipts and concurrent seasonal adjustment.
1
Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the end of the period. Not seasonally adjusted estimates of shipments and new orders
include adjusted data for non-calendar reporters. Seasonally adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday and trading-day differences, where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation, based on the results of the
latest annual review of the model parameters. Estimates are not adjusted for price changes.
r
2
Data on unfilled orders are not available for the semiconductor industry. Estimates and percent changes for unfilled orders exclude semiconductor industry data.
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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see
.

Percent Change
Preliminary
r Revised data due to late receipts and concurrent seasonal adjustment.
1
Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the end of the period. Not seasonally adjusted estimates of shipments and new orders include adjusted data for noncalendar reporters. Seasonally adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday and trading-day differences, where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation, based on the results of the latest annual review of the model parameters.
Estimates are not adjusted for price changes.
2
Estimates of inventories for the semiconductor industry data are included in computers and electronic products, and all other applicable aggregate totals.
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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see .
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) Survey, June Full Report, August 4, 2020. Information on data sources and methodology can be found on our website at

Defense capital goods industries include: small arms and ordnance; communications equipment; aircraft; missiles, space vehicles, and parts; ships and boats; and search and navigation equipment.
Estimates and percent changes exclude semiconductor industry data.
Based on year-to-date for shipments and new orders, but on same month prior year for unfilled orders and inventories.
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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see .

Preliminary
Revised data due to late receipts and concurrent seasonal adjustment.
1
Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the end of the period. Not seasonally adjusted estimates of shipments and new orders include adjusted data for noncalendar reporters. Seasonally adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday and trading-day differences, where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation, based on the results of the latest annual review of the model parameters. Estimates
are not adjusted for price changes.
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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see .

Excludes the following industries with no unfilled orders: Wood products; nonmetallic mineral products; medical equipment and supplies; office supplies;
other miscellaneous manufacturing; cutlery and handtools; farm and garden machinery; computer storage and peripheral devices; audio and video
equipment; manufacturing and reproducing magnetic and optical media; batteries; automobiles; light trucks and utility vehicles; heavy duty trucks; and

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 a probability sample, estimates of sampling
error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see .

Estimates of shipments and new orders are for the duration of the period, while estimates of unfilled orders and total inventories are for the
end of the period. Not seasonally adjusted estimates of shipments and new orders include adjusted data for non-calendar reporters. Seasonally
adjusted estimates include concurrent adjustments for holiday and trading-day differences, where appropriate, as well as seasonal variation,
based on the results of the latest annual review of the model parameters. Estimates are not adjusted for price changes.
2
The current month revisions are the difference between the advance percent change and the percent change as shown in this publication.
3
The twelve month revisions are the differences between the month-to-month percent changes of the preliminary and final estimates. The
monthly averages are the simple averages of the absolute values of the differences for the months specified. The advance to final percent
change revisions for the durable goods industries are shown in the advance report for the 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 a probability sample,
estimates of sampling error cannot be calculated. For further details on survey design, methodology, and data limitations see
