  CEO statement and outlook

  "Our first-quarter net sales came in at €3.5 billion which is at the high end of our guidance. The gross margin of 49.0%, is as guided. Our first-quarter net bookings came in at €7.0 billion, including €2.5 billion from 0.33 NA and 0.55 NA EUV systems as well as very strong DUV bookings, reflecting the continued high demand for advanced and mature nodes.

   

  "We continue to see that the demand for our systems is higher than our current production capacity. We accommodate our customers through offering high-productivity upgrades and reducing cycle time in our factories, and we continue to offer a fast shipment process. In addition, we are actively working to significantly expand capacity together with our supply chain partners. In light of the demand and our plans to increase capacity, we expect to revisit our scenarios for 2025 and growth opportunities beyond. We plan to communicate updates in the second half of the year.

   

  "ASML expects second-quarter net sales between €5.1 billion and €5.3 billion with a gross margin between 49% and 50%. ASML expects R&D costs of around €790 million and SG&A costs of around €220 million. For the full year, we continue to expect a revenue growth of around 20%," said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink.

   

  Products and business highlights

  We received multiple orders this quarter for our High-NA EXE:5200 systems (EUV 0.55 NA) from both Logic and Memory customers.

  In our Applications business, we shipped our first eScan460 system, which is our next-generation single-beam inspection system, with higher resolution and 50% faster throughput than eScan430.

   

  Update share buyback program

  As part of its financial policy to return excess cash to its shareholders through growing annualized dividends and share buybacks, ASML executes a share buyback program which started on July 22, 2021, and is to be closed by December 31, 2023. Based on this program, ASML intends to repurchase shares up to an amount of €9 billion, of which we expect a total of up to 0.45 million shares will be used to cover employee share plans. ASML intends to cancel the remainder of the shares repurchased. In the first quarter, we purchased around €2.1 billion worth of shares under the current program.

   

  The share buyback program will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on April 29, 2021, and of the authority to be granted by future AGMs. The share buyback program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. All transactions under this program will be published on ASML's website (www.asml.com/investors) on a weekly basis.

• Intel and ASML strengthen their collaboration to drive High-NA into manufacturing in 2025 (May 31, 2022)

  Intel makes its first purchase order for ASML’s TWINSCAN EXE:5200 system, marking the next step on the path to EUV 0.55 NA (High-NA) introduction.

  VELDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS AND HILLSBORO, OR, USA, JANUARY 19, 2022

  Today, ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) and Intel Corporation (INTC) announced the latest phase of their longstanding collaboration to advance the cutting edge of semiconductor lithography technology. Intel has issued its first purchase order to ASML for the delivery of the industry’s first TWINSCAN EXE:5200 system – an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) high-volume production system with a high numerical aperture and more than 200 wafers per hour productivity – as part of the two companies’ long-term High-NA collaboration framework.

  “Intel’s vision and early commitment to ASML’s High-NA EUV technology is proof of its relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law. Compared to the current EUV systems, our innovative extended EUV roadmap delivers continued lithographic improvements at reduced complexity, cost, cycle time and energy that the chip industry needs to drive affordable scaling well into the next decade,” said ASML President and CTO Martin van den Brink.

  Intel announced at its Accelerated event in July that it plans to deploy the first High-NA technology to enable its roadmap of transistor innovations. Intel was the first to purchase the earlier TWINSCAN EXE:5000 system in 2018, and with the new purchase announced today, the collaboration continues the path for Intel’s production manufacturing with High-NA EUV beginning in 2025.

  “Intel’s focus is to stay at the forefront of semiconductor lithography technology and we’ve been building our EUV expertise and capacity over the last year. Working closely with ASML, we will harness High-NA EUV’s high-resolution patterning as one of the ways we continue Moore’s Law and maintain our strong history of progression down to the smallest of geometries,” said Dr. Ann Kelleher, executive vice president and general manager of Technology Development at Intel.

  The EXE platform is an evolutionary step in EUV technology and includes a novel optics design and significantly faster reticle and wafer stages. The TWINSCAN EXE:5000 and EXE:5200 systems offer a 0.55 numerical aperture — a precision increase from previous EUV machines with a 0.33 numerical aperture lens — to enable higher-resolution patterning for even smaller transistor features. The numerical aperture of the system, combined with the wavelength used, determines the smallest printable feature.

  EUV 0.55 NA has been designed to enable multiple future nodes beginning in 2025 as the industry’s first deployment, followed by memory technologies at similar density. At the 2021 Investor Day, ASML shared its EUV roadmap and indicated that High-NA technology is expected to start supporting production manufacturing in 2025. Today's announcement is consistent with this roadmap.

• ASML unveils EUV Technology Training Center in Taiwan (May 31, 2022)

  The center will train the next generation of lithography engineers for chipmakers in Asia.

  TAINAN, TAIWAN, AUGUST 20, 2020

  Today we announced the opening of our Global EUV (extreme ultraviolet) Training Center in Tainan, Taiwan. This new training center features live EUV machine modules and comprehensive training courses to train EUV engineers for its EUV customers in Asia.

   

  Located in the Tainan Science Park, this 1,625 m2 new EUV training center will offer comprehensive training, including EUV machine operating practice in the cleanroom. Currently there are 14 trainers to provide thousands of hours of training courses per year. ASML expects to develop 360 EUV engineers for both internal and customer purposes every year.

   

  “We thank the Tainan Science Park Administration, the government and our customers for their support in helping us to establish this new EUV training center to serve the semiconductor industry,” says Mark Ting, manager of ASML Taiwan.

   

  “ASML is growing with the semiconductor industry and our customers,” Mark continues. “In 2010, we shipped the first prototype EUV lithography system to TSMC for R&D purposes, marking the beginning of a new era in lithography. In 2017, we shipped the first production-ready system, the TWINSCAN NXE:3400, to TSMC, and three years later, Taiwan has become home to the world’s largest EUV installed base.

   

  “Our investment in this Global EUV Technology Training Center represents ASML’s commitment to supporting our customers in advanced node manufacturing while expanding our diversified operations in Taiwan," he concludes.

   

  Supporting customers in a safe and cost-effective way

  It takes 18 months to develop an EUV engineer from a novice to a mature engineer who can work independently. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the uncertainties related to traveling. The EUV training center enables both ASML and our customers to train EUV engineers locally in a safe and cost-effective way.

   

  “By placing our Global EUV Technology Training Center in Asia where EUV systems will continue to be installed, we expect to achieve significant savings in both time and money to bring EUV knowledge to those who need it,” says Wayne Allan, executive vice president of ASML Global Customer Support.

   

  ASML also has an EUV training center in South Korea, where we provide training courses to meet the growing customer demand for new EUV engineers.
