Enyzme kinetics are cyclic. We study a Markov renewal process model of single-enzyme turnover in nonequilibrium steady-state (NESS) with sustained concentrations for substrates and products. We show that the forward and backward cycle times have idential non-exponential distributions: $\QQ_+(t)=\QQ_-(t)$. This equation generalizes the Haldane relation in reversible enzyme kinetics. In terms of the probabilities for the forward ($p_+$) and backward ($p_-$) cycles, $k_BT\ln(p_+/p_-)$ is shown to be the chemical driving force of the NESS, $\Delta\mu$. More interestingly, the moment generating function of the stochastic number of substrate cycle $\nu(t)$, $
