CEO Statement

“Our first-quarter net sales came in as guided at 1.65 billion euros, driven by continued strong DRAM memory segment sales in combination with higher foundry segment sales. Our gross margin rose to 47.2 percent, a reflection of product mix as well as better utilization of our production facilities, which was partly offset by unfavorable foreign exchange effects. Our Q2 guidance of around 1.6 billion euros of net sales confirms our earlier expectation that the first half of 2015 will be stronger than the second half of 2014. In memory, our Q1 sales and order book suggest that sales to the DRAM segment will stay healthy in 2015, although more weighted to the first half of the year. In logic, we expect stable sales throughout 2015. Our service and field options sales will likely increase over coming quarters as we benefit from increased adoption of our Holistic Lithography products and the purchase of system node enhancement packages supporting customer node migrations,” ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink said.

“Regarding our EUV program, our focus for 2015 is to continue the recent encouraging progress on source power and productivity, to increase stability and availability of the systems as well as to ship our fourth-generation EUV system, the NXE:3350B.”

Q1 Product Highlights

 

    Exposed more than 1000 wafers in a 24-hour period on a NXE:3300B

 

    EUV source power upgrade is being rolled out to multiple customer sites

 

    Our Overlay and Focus Package for the TWINSCAN NXT:1970Ci, which improves focus uniformity by up to 30 percent and matched machine overlay by more than 30 percent, experienced good adoption by logic customers

 

    First orders received for next-generation TWINSCAN NXT:1980Ci immersion tool, aimed at production of critical layers for the next advanced logic nodes.

Outlook

For the second quarter of 2015, ASML expects net sales of around EUR 1.6 billion, a gross margin of around 45 percent, R&D costs of about EUR 265 million, other income of about EUR 21 million — which consists of contributions from participants of the Customer Co-Investment Program — , SG&A costs of about EUR 85 million and an effective tax rate of approximately 11 percent.

Update Share Buyback Program

As part of ASML’s policy to return excess cash to shareholders through dividend and regularly timed share buybacks, ASML has announced its intention to purchase up to EUR 750 million of shares, which it intends to cancel upon repurchase. In addition, ASML announced its intention to purchase up to 3.3 million shares to cover employee stock and stock option plans (ESOPs). Through 29 March 2015, ASML has acquired 1.4 million shares under this program for a total consideration of EUR 129 million. These shares have been purchased to cover ESOPs. The share buyback program will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the AGM on April 23, 2014 and of the authority granted at 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.

Shrink is the key industry driver supporting innovation and providing long term industry growth 15 April 2015

Moore’s Law will continue and be affordable

Lithography enables affordable shrink and therefore delivers compelling value for our customers

ASML’s strategy of large R&D investments in lithography product roadmaps supports future industry needs

DUV product improvement roadmaps and Holistic Litho enable multi-pass immersion patterning today, with Holistic Litho supporting EUV in future. These highly differentiated products provide unique value drivers for us and our customers

EUV faces normal new technology introduction challenges but its adoption is now a matter of WHEN not IF. EUV will continue to enable Moore’s Law and will drive long term value for ASML

ASML models an annual revenue opportunity of €10 billion by 2020 and given the significant leverage in our financial model this will allow a potential tripling of EPS by the end of this decade thereby creating significant value for all stakeholders

We expect to continue to return excess cash to our shareholders through dividends that are stable or growing and regularly timed share buybacks in line with our policy

Notes to the Summary US GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of euros (“EUR”) unless otherwise indicated. ASML follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Further disclosures, as required under US GAAP in annual reports, are not included in the summary consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the balance sheet dates, and the reported amounts of net sales and costs during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ASML Holding N.V. and all of its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity of which ASML is the primary beneficiary (referred to as “ASML”). All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 50 percent of the voting rights.

Revenue recognition

In general, ASML recognizes revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; seller’s price to buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. At ASML this policy generally results in revenue recognition from the sale of a system upon shipment. The revenue from the installation of a system is generally recognized upon completion of that installation at the customer site. Each system undergoes, prior to shipment, a “Factory Acceptance Test” in ASML’s cleanroom facilities, effectively replicating the operating conditions that will be present on the customer’s site, in order to verify whether the system will meet its standard specifications and any additional technical and performance criteria agreed with the customer, if any. A system is shipped, and revenue is recognized, only after all specifications are met and customer sign-off is received or waived. In case not all specifications are met and the remaining performance obligation is not essential to the functionality of the system but is substantive rather than inconsequential or perfunctory, a portion of the sales price is deferred. Although each system’s performance is re-tested upon installation at the customer’s site, we have never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises.

In connection with the introduction of new technology, such as NXE:3300B, we initially defer revenue recognition until acceptance of the new technology based system and completion of installation at the customer’s premises. As our systems are based largely on two product platforms that permit incremental, modular upgrades, the introduction of genuinely “new” technology occurs infrequently, and in the past 15 years, has occurred on only two occasions: 2000 (TWINSCAN) and 2010 (EUV).

The main portion of our revenue is derived from contractual arrangements with our customers that have multiple deliverables, which mainly include the sale of our systems, installation and training services and prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts. For each of the specified deliverables ASML determines the selling price by using either vendor specific objective evidence (‘VSOE’), third party evidence (‘TPE’) or by best estimate of the selling price (‘BESP’). When we are unable to establish relative selling price using VSOE or TPE, ASML uses BESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The total arrangement consideration is allocated at inception of the arrangement to all deliverables on the basis of their relative selling price. The revenue relating to the undelivered elements of the arrangements is deferred at their relative selling prices until delivery of these elements. Revenue from installation and training services is recognized when the services are completed. Revenue from prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts is recognized over the term of the contract.


For our NXE:3300B systems, we are unable to determine VSOE for prepaid extended, enhanced (optic) warranty contracts and installation. We determined for NXE:3300B systems that BESP is the appropriate reference in the fair value hierarchy for prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts. We review selling prices periodically and maintain internal controls over the establishment and updates of these elements.

Foreign currency risk management

Our sales are predominately denominated in euros. Exceptions may occur on a customer by customer basis. Our cost of sales and other expenses are mainly denominated in euros, to a certain extent in US dollars, Taiwanese dollars and Japanese yen and to a limited extent in other currencies. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.

It is our policy to hedge material transaction exposures, such as forecasted sales and purchase transactions, and material net remeasurement exposures, such as accounts receivable and payable. We hedge these exposures through the use of foreign exchange contracts.

Notes to the reconciliation from US GAAP to IFRS

Note 1 Development expenditures

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 730, “Research and Development”. In accordance with ASC 730, ASML charges costs relating to research and development to operating expense as incurred.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”. In accordance with IAS 38, ASML capitalizes certain development expenditures that are amortized over the expected useful life of the related product generally ranging between one and five years. Amortization starts when the developed product is ready for volume production.

Note 2 Share-based Payments

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” which requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant-date fair value of those instruments. ASC 718’s general principle is that a deferred tax asset is established as we recognize compensation costs for commercial purposes for awards that are expected to result in a tax deduction under existing tax law. Under US GAAP, the deferred tax recorded on share-based compensation is computed on the basis of the expense recognized in the financial statements. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do not affect the deferred tax asset recorded in our financial statements.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments”. In accordance with IFRS 2, ASML records as an expense the fair value of its share-based payments with respect to stock options and shares granted to its employees. Under IFRS, at period end a deferred tax asset is computed on the basis of the tax deduction for the share-based payments under the applicable tax law and is recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these deductible temporary differences will be utilized. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do affect the deferred tax asset at period-end and result in adjustments to the deferred tax asset.

Note 3 Income taxes

Under US GAAP, the elimination of unrealized net income from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which prepaid taxes must be recognized in consolidation. Contrary to IFRS, the prepaid taxes under US GAAP are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the seller’s rather than the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 12, “Income Taxes”. In accordance with IAS 12 unrealized net income resulting from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which deferred taxes must be recognized in consolidation. The deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.


This document contains statements relating to certain projections and business trends that are forward-looking, including statements with respect to our outlook, expected customer demand in specified market segments including DRAM and logic, expected trends, systems backlog, IC unit demand, expected financial results, including expected or potential sales, other income, gross margin, earnings per share and expenses, tool orders and expected shipment of tools, productivity of our tools and systems performance, including the continuation of Moore’s law, industry acceptance of EUV, annual revenue opportunity by 2020, expected tax rate, TWINSCAN and EUV system performance (such as endurance tests), expected industry trends, the development of EUV technology and the number of EUV systems expected to be shipped and timing of shipments, intention to return excess cash to shareholders, our proposed dividend for 2014 and our intention to repurchase shares. You can generally identify these statements by the use of words like “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “intend”, “continue” and variations of these words or comparable words. These statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and our future financial results and readers should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, economic conditions, product demand and semiconductor equipment industry capacity, worldwide demand and manufacturing capacity utilization for semiconductors (the principal product of our customer base), including the impact of general economic conditions on consumer confidence and demand for our customers’ products, competitive products and pricing, the impact of manufacturing efficiencies and capacity constraints, performance of our systems, the continuing success of technology advances and the related pace of new product development and customer acceptance of new products, the number and timing of EUV systems expected to be shipped and recognized in revenue, our ability to enforce patents and protect intellectual property rights, the risk of intellectual property litigation, availability of raw materials and critical manufacturing equipment, trade environment, changes in exchange rates, changes in tax rates, available cash, distributable reserves for dividend payments and share repurchases, risks associated with the Cymer acquisition and other risks indicated in the risk factors included in ASML’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this document. We do not undertake to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

1  These financial statements are unaudited.
2  Numbers have been rounded.
3  The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share assumes the exercise of options issued under ASML stock option plans and the issuance of shares under ASML share plans for periods in which exercises or issuances would have a dilutive effect. The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not assume exercise of such options or issuance of shares when such exercises or issuance would be anti-dilutive.
4  Our systems backlog and net bookings include sales orders for which written authorizations have been accepted and shipment and/or revenue recognition is expected within 12 months. As of Q4 2014 we also include EUV in our backlog starting with our NXE:3350B systems. Before Q4 2014, our systems backlog and net bookings include only sales orders for which written authorizations have been accepted and system shipment and revenue recognition dates within the following 12 months have been assigned. This change has no impact on the comparative figures.

Notes to the Summary IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of euros (“EUR”) unless otherwise indicated. ASML has prepared the accompanying summary consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“IFRS”) accounting principles generally accepted in the Netherlands for companies quoted on Euronext Amsterdam. Further disclosures, as required under IFRS in annual reports and interim reporting (IAS 34), are not included in the summary consolidated financial statements.

For internal and external reporting purposes, we apply accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). US GAAP is our primary accounting standard for the setting of financial and operational performance targets.

Use of estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the dates of the consolidated statement of financial position and the reported amounts of net sales and costs during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ASML Holding N.V. and all of its subsidiaries and the special purpose entity of which ASML is the primary beneficiary (referred to as “ASML”). All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 50 percent of the voting rights.

Revenue recognition

In general, we recognize the revenue from the sale of a system upon shipment and the revenue from the installation of a system upon completion of that installation at the customer site. Each system undergoes, prior to shipment, a “Factory Acceptance Test” in ASML’s cleanroom facilities, effectively replicating the operating conditions that will be present on the customer’s site, in order to verify whether the system will meet its standard specifications and any additional technical and performance criteria agreed with the customer, if any. A system is shipped, and revenue is recognized, only after all specifications are met and customer sign-off is received or waived. In case not all specifications are met and the remaining performance obligation is not essential to the functionality of the system but is substantive rather than inconsequential or perfunctory, a portion of the sales price is deferred. Although each system’s performance is re-tested upon installation at the customer’s site, we have never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises.

In connection with the introduction of new technology, such as NXE:3300B, we initially defer revenue recognition until acceptance of the new technology based system and completion of installation at the customer’s premises. As our systems are based largely on two product platforms that permit incremental, modular upgrades, the introduction of genuinely “new” technology occurs infrequently, and in the past 15 years, has occurred on only two occasions: 2000 (TWINSCAN) and 2010 (EUV).

The main portion of our revenue is derived from contractual arrangements with our customers that have multiple deliverables, which mainly include the sale of our systems, installation and training services and prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts. The revenue relating to the undelivered elements of the arrangements is deferred until delivery of these elements. Revenue from installation and training services is recognized when the services are completed. Revenue from prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts is recognized over the term of the contract.


Foreign currency risk management

Our sales are predominately denominated in euros. Exceptions may occur on a customer by customer basis. Our cost of sales and other expenses are mainly denominated in euros, to a certain extent in US dollars, Taiwanese dollars and Japanese yen and to a limited extent in other currencies. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.

It is our policy to hedge material transaction exposures, such as forecasted sales and purchase transactions, and material net remeasurement exposures, such as accounts receivable and payable. We hedge these exposures through the use of foreign exchange contracts.

Notes to the reconciliation from US GAAP to IFRS

Note 1 Development expenditures

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 730, “Research and Development”. In accordance with ASC 730, ASML charges costs relating to research and development to operating expense as incurred.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”. In accordance with IAS 38, ASML capitalizes certain development expenditures that are amortized over the expected useful life of the related product generally ranging between one and five years. Amortization starts when the developed product is ready for volume production.

Note 2 Share-based Payments

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” which requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant-date fair value of those instruments. ASC 718’s general principle is that a deferred tax asset is established as we recognize compensation costs for commercial purposes for awards that are expected to result in a tax deduction under existing tax law. Under US GAAP, the deferred tax recorded on share-based compensation is computed on the basis of the expense recognized in the financial statements. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do not affect the deferred tax asset recorded in our financial statements.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments”. In accordance with IFRS 2, ASML records as an expense the fair value of its share-based payments with respect to stock options and shares granted to its employees. Under IFRS, at period end a deferred tax asset is computed on the basis of the tax deduction for the share-based payments under the applicable tax law and is recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these deductible temporary differences will be utilized. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do affect the deferred tax asset at period-end and result in adjustments to the deferred tax asset.

Note 3 Income taxes

Under US GAAP, the elimination of unrealized net income from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which prepaid taxes must be recognized in consolidation. Contrary to IFRS, the prepaid taxes under US GAAP are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the seller’s rather than the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 12, “Income Taxes”. In accordance with IAS 12 unrealized net income resulting from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which deferred taxes must be recognized in consolidation. The deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.
