CEO statement and outlook
“Our first-quarter total net sales came in at €7.7 billion, in line with our guidance. The gross margin was 54.0%, above guidance, driven by a favorable EUV product mix and the achievement of performance milestones. In the first quarter, we shipped our fifth High NA system, and we now have these systems at three customers.
“Our conversations so far with customers support our expectation that 2025 and 2026 will be growth years. However, the recent tariff announcements have increased uncertainty in the macro environment and the situation will remain dynamic for a while. As previously shared, artificial intelligence continues to be the primary growth driver in our industry. It has created a shift in the market dynamics that benefits some customers more than others, contributing to both upside potential and downside risks as reflected in our 2025 revenue range.
“We expect second-quarter total net sales between €7.2 billion and €7.7 billion, with a gross margin between 50% and 53%3. We expect R&D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&A costs of around €300 million. As we previously communicated, we expect total net sales for the year between €30 billion and €35 billion, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%, subject to the uncertainties mentioned earlier,” said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet.
Update dividend and share buyback program
ASML intends to declare a total dividend for the year 2024 of €6.40 per ordinary share, which is a 4.9% increase compared to 2023.
Recognizing the three interim dividends of €1.52 per ordinary share paid in 2024 and 2025, this leads to a final dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting of €1.84 per ordinary share.
In the first quarter, we purchased around €2.7 billion worth of shares under the current 2022-2025 share buyback program.
Details of the share buyback program as well as transactions pursuant thereto, and details of the dividend are published on ASML’s website (www.asml.com/investors).
