10-3 pronounced as ten negative three power?

Context:

For example, if such a privileged reference frame exists and is such that the Earth’s speed in this frame is less than 10-3 times that of the speed of light, then the speed of the influence would have to exceed that of light by at least four orders of magnitude.

I would say, "Ten to the (power of) minus three", but I am not a mathematician/scientist.
