    Each point on this graph represents the most recent 12 months of orders compared to the previous 12 months of orders. Each point can be read as a percentage. For example, 97.3 (the March 2013 level of the industrial hydraulic series) indicates that industrial hydraulic orders received from April 2012 to March 2013 were 97.3% of the orders received from April 2011 to March 2012. (Base Year 2008 = 100%)

    The table above is expressed in terms of cumulative percent changes. These changes refer to the percent difference between the relevant cumulative total for 2013 and the total for the same months in 2012. For example, the March pneumatic shipments figure of 5.4 means that for the calendar year through March 2013, pneumatic shipments were down 5.4% compared to the same time period in 2012. (Base Year 2008 = 100%)
