Backlog

Backlog represents unfilled customer orders for our products and services. The customer orders that are included in the backlog represent commitments to purchase specific products or services from us by customers who have satisfied our credit review procedures. The following table provides backlog by business segment as of the fiscal year end. These backlog amounts exclude customer arrangements under long-term equipment life cycle management programs. Such programs extend for up to thirteen years and totaled approximately $492.2 million as of October 31, 2008. Sales already recognized by fiscal year-end under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting are also excluded from the amounts shown.

The increase in backlog for Surface Mining Equipment from October 26, 2007 to October 31, 2008 is due to the strength of international coal, long-term growth prospects of copper and growth in Canadian oil sands. The increase in Underground Mining Machinery is due to the increasing demand in U.S. coal markets. CCC added terminals, structures and barge load out conveyors. Of the $3.1 billion of backlog approximately $746 million is expected to be recognized as revenue beyond fiscal 2009.

The increase in backlog for Surface Mining Equipment from October 28, 2006 to October 26, 2007 reflects continued strength in the Canadian oil sands, global copper markets, and other emerging markets, including China and Russia. The change in backlog for Underground Mining Machinery over the same period reflects the continued strong global demand for original equipment and aftermarket products and services. Of the $1.6 billion of backlog, approximately $140 million is expected to be recognized as revenue beyond fiscal 2008.

The eliminations represent the Stamler crushing equipment orders which are sold through the Underground Mining Machinery and Surface Mining Equipment segments but managed as part of the Crushing & Conveying segment.
