CEO statement
"Our second-quarter sales came in within guidance and the gross margin came in above guidance, helped by improved EUV manufacturing results and higher field upgrade sales, which more than compensates the negative mix effect in comparison with Q1.
"For the remainder of the year we see further weakness in Memory, while Logic looks stronger. We expect that the increased demand in Logic will compensate for the decreased demand in Memory. The additional growth in Logic is driven by accelerated investments in 7 nm nodes and beyond.
"We received ten orders for EUV systems during the second quarter, some of which are slated for use in the production of DRAM devices.
"Our 2019 total sales view remains unchanged and we continue to see 2019 as a growth year," said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink.

Q2 2019 product and business highlights
For EUV, on the NXE:3400C, we recently demonstrated >170 wafers per hour at ASML as well as >2,000 wafers per day under customer memory production conditions.  
ASML and Mitsui Chemicals have agreed that ASML will license the EUV pellicle assembly technology to Mitsui Chemicals. Mitsui Chemicals is able to assemble and sell pellicles in high volume to our lithography customers. In parallel, ASML will continue to develop next generations of pellicle membranes with its partners, which is expected to enable improved performance of EUV pellicles.

Outlook
For the third quarter of 2019, ASML expects net sales around EUR 3.0 billion, and a gross margin of between 43 percent and 44 percent. ASML also expects R&D costs of around EUR 495 million, and SG&A costs of around EUR 125 million. Our estimated annualized effective tax rate is around 9 percent for 2019.

Update share buyback program
As part of ASML’s financial policy to return excess cash to shareholders through dividends and regularly timed share buybacks, in January 2018 ASML announced its intention to purchase up to EUR 2.5 billion of shares, to be executed within the 2018–2019 time frame. ASML intends to cancel these shares after repurchase, with the exception of up to 2.4 million shares, which will be used to cover employee share plans.
Through June 30, 2019, ASML has acquired 7.5 million shares under this program for a total consideration of EUR 1.2 billion.
The current program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. All transactions under this program are published on ASML’s website (www.asml.com/investors) on a weekly basis.

ASML Statutory Interim Report 2019    1



Interim Management Board Report

Our Company
It is hard to imagine the world without microchips. They are at the heart of the devices that we use to work, travel, stay healthy and be entertained - from smartphones to cars, from MRI scanners to industrial robots. Delivering new functionalities, better performance and lower cost with each generation, advances in chips have spawned new products and transformed industries. New technologies and trends, such as artificial intelligence, 5G connectivity, augmented reality and the Internet of Things, result in additional demand for semiconductor chips to generate, transfer, store, analyze and apply vast amounts of data.
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of chip-making equipment, ASML provides its customers with tools - hardware, software and services - to create the patterns that define the electronic circuits on a chip. As we improve our products, our customers can increase the value and reduce the cost of chips for their customers.
We are a global company with 24,282 employees at June 30, 2019. Our thousands of engineers work in multi-disciplinary teams and with a network of suppliers and technology partners, innovating to maintain our technology leadership. We set ourselves ambitious goals and take pride in the impact we have on the world around us.
Risk Factors
In conducting our business, we face many risks that may interfere with our business objectives. It is important to understand the nature of these risks and the impact they may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of the more relevant risks are presented in detail in our 2018 Integrated Report based on IFRS, as well as summarized below. These risks are not the only ones that we face. Some risks may not yet be known to us and certain risks that we do not currently believe to be material could become material in the future.
Summary
Our business will suffer if we or the industry do not respond rapidly to commercial and technological changes in the semiconductor industry
The success of new product introductions is uncertain and depends on our ability to successfully execute our R&D programs
We may face challenges in managing industrialization of our products and bringing them to high volume production which could impact profitability
We face intense competition
Our production is highly dependent on the performance of a limited number of critical suppliers of single source key components
A high percentage of net sales is derived from a few customers
The semiconductor industry can be cyclical and we may be adversely affected by any downturn
We derive most of our revenues from the sale of a relatively small number of products
Failure to adequately protect the intellectual property rights upon which we depend could harm our business
Defending against intellectual property claims brought by others could harm our business
A disruption in our information technology systems, including incidents related to cyber security, could adversely affect our business operations
We are subject to risks in our international operations
We are dependent on the continued operation of a limited number of manufacturing facilities
Our business and future success depend on our ability to manage the growth of our organization and attract and retain a sufficient number of adequately educated and skilled employees
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could harm our results of operations
Changes in taxation could affect our future profitability
Hazardous substances are used in the production and operation of our systems and failure to comply with applicable regulations or failure to implement appropriate practices for the environment, health and safety could subject us to significant liabilities
We may be unable to make desirable acquisitions or to integrate successfully any businesses we acquire
We may not declare cash dividends and conduct share buyback programs at all or in any particular amounts in any given year
We may face share price volatility
Restrictions on shareholder rights may dilute voting power
We assessed the relevant risks and believe that the risks identified are in line with those presented in our 2018 Integrated Report based on IFRS. We disclosed the binding MOU with Nikon and Carl Zeiss SMT relating to a comprehensive settlement of all pending litigation at the time between Nikon, ASML and Zeiss in the risk factor "Defending against intellectual property claims brought by others could harm our business" presented in our 2018 Integrated Report based on IFRS. On February 18, 2019, the parties executed the settlement and cross-license agreement contemplated by the MOU.

Consolidated Sales and Gross Profit
Total net sales decreased by EUR 228.4 million to EUR 4,797.0 million for the first half year of 2019 compared to EUR 5,025.4 million for the first half year of 2018. The main driver of this decrease in net sales is a lower number of immersion systems sold due to softening in the Memory demand. This decrease in immersion sales is partly offset with an increase in EUV system sales due to the adoption of EUV within Logic. In the first half of 2019, we recognized 11 EUV systems in revenue, compared to 8 systems in the first half of 2018.
Gross profit as a percentage of total net sales decreased compared to the first half year of 2018, primarily due to a decrease in volume and change in product mix, as EUV is a higher percentage of our total net sales, with a related decrease in both our immersion sales and field option sales. Additionally, we incurred increased EUV service costs in preparation for the ramp into high volume production.


ASML Statutory Interim Report 2019    3



Research and Development
R&D expenditures for the first half year of 2019 of EUR 960.3 million increased compared to the first half year of 2018 (EUR 737.2 million). The R&D expenditures comprise of R&D costs net of credits (including net development costs not eligible for capitalization) of EUR 832.2 million (first half year of 2018: EUR 554.0 million) and capitalization of development expenditures of EUR 128.1 million (first half year of 2018: EUR 183.2 million).
In the first half of 2019 our R&D activities mainly related to:
EUV - Further improving availability and productivity focused on the final stages of industrialization related to our NXE:3400B system, as well as introduction of the NXE:3400C. In addition, our roadmap includes High NA to support our customers with 3 nm logic and beyond.
DUV - The industrialization of our latest generation immersion system NXT:2000i, development of our next generation immersion system NXT:2050 and our next generation ArF dry system NXT:1470. In addition we are completing industrialization of new modules and further improving our roadmaps on alignment/overlay and productivity.
Holistic Lithography - HMI expansion, including multi-beam innovation, and further development of YieldStar and process window control solutions
Selling, General and Administrative Costs
Selling, General and Administrative costs increased to EUR 244.4 million for the first half year of 2019 compared to the first half year of 2018 (EUR 231.6 million) due to increased headcount, partly offset by a decrease in legal costs due to the settlement of the Nikon litigation in February 2019.

Auditor’s Involvement
This Statutory Interim Report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements included herein have not been audited or reviewed by an external auditor.
2019 Second Half Year Perspectives
Operational Outlook
For the remainder of the year we see further weakness in Memory, while Logic looks stronger. We expect that the increased demand in Logic will compensate for the decreased demand in Memory. The additional growth in Logic is driven by accelerated investments in 7 nm nodes and beyond.

Financial Outlook
For the third-quarter of 2019, ASML expects net sales around EUR 3.0 billion. Our 2019 total sales view remains unchanged and we continue to see 2019 as a growth year.

ASML Statutory Interim Report 2019    10



Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

1. General Information
Our shares are listed for trading in the form of registered shares on Euronext Amsterdam and on NASDAQ. The principal trading market of our ordinary shares is Euronext Amsterdam.
The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Management on July 16, 2019 and have not been audited or reviewed by an external auditor.
2. Basis of Preparation
The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures as required in the Integrated Report and should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Integrated Report based on IFRS as adopted by the European Union and the additional requirements of Article 362.9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are stated in millions of euros unless indicated otherwise.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2017 the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee issued a new interpretation for the Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (hereinafter ‘IFRIC 23’). As of January 1, 2019 ASML applied this interpretation on their uncertain tax positions and chose to adjust the impact of this interpretation retrospectively with the cumulative effect as an adjustment to opening balance of retained earnings. The impact of implementation on our January 1, 2019 retained earnings was EUR 13.9 million.
We believe that the effect of all other standards (not yet) effective and (not yet) adopted by the EU is not expected to be material.
4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1: Valuations based on inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2: Valuations based on inputs other than level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument’s fair value classification is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant in the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Investments in money market funds (as part of our cash and cash equivalents) have fair value measurements which are all based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities.
Our short-term investments consist of deposits with a remaining maturity beyond three months at the date of acquisition with financial institutions that have investment grade credit ratings. The fair value of the deposits is determined with reference to quoted market prices in an active market for similar assets or discounted cash flow analysis.
The principal market in which we execute our derivative contracts is the institutional market in an over-the-counter environment with a high level of price transparency. The market participants usually are large commercial banks. The valuation inputs for our derivative contracts are based on quoted prices and quoting pricing intervals from public data sources; they do not involve management judgment.
The valuation technique used to determine the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts (used for hedging purposes) approximates the net present value technique which is the estimated amount that a bank would receive or pay to terminate the forward foreign exchange contracts at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and current exchange rates.


ASML Statutory Interim Report 2019    11



The valuation technique used to determine the fair value of interest rate swaps (used for hedging purposes) is the net present value technique, which is the estimated amount that a bank would receive or pay to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates.
Our Eurobonds serve as hedged items in fair value hedge relationships in which we hedge the variability of changes in the fair value of our Eurobonds due to changes in market interest rates with interest rate swaps. The fair value changes of these interest rate swaps are recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position under derivative financial instruments and the carrying amounts of the Eurobonds are adjusted for the effective portion of these fair value changes only.
The following tables present our financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

1.    Derivative financial instruments consist of forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.
2.    Money market funds are part of our cash and cash equivalents.
3.    Short-term investments consist of deposits with a remaining maturity longer than three months, but less than one year at the date of acquisition.
4.    Long-term debt relates to Eurobonds.
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the first half year of 2019 and the full year 2018.
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Accounts receivable and finance receivables also approximate their fair value because of the fact that any recoverability loss is reflected in an impairment loss.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, we had no significant fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis. We did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets during the first half year of 2019 and the first half year of 2018.
5. Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 of EUR 1,661.1 million (December 31, 2018: EUR 3,121.1 million), short-term investments as of June 30, 2019 of EUR 673.5 million (December 31, 2018: EUR 913.3 million) and available credit facilities as of June 30, 2019 of EUR 700.0 million (December 31, 2018: EUR 700.0 million). No amounts were outstanding under this credit facility as of June 30, 2019. In addition, we may from time to time raise additional capital in debt and equity markets. Our goal is to remain an investment grade rated company and maintain a capital structure that supports this.


ASML Statutory Interim Report 2019    12



6. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the process of applying our accounting policies, management has made some judgments that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements. The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty are consistent with those described in the 2018 Integrated Report based on IFRS.
7. Earnings per share
The basic and diluted net income per ordinary share has been calculated as follows:

The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share assumes the exercise of options issued under our stock option plans and the issuance of shares under our 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 options when exercise would be anti-dilutive.
8. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Legal Contingencies
On January 23, 2019, ASML entered into a binding MOU with Nikon and Carl Zeiss SMT relating to a comprehensive settlement of all pending disputes between Nikon, ASML and Zeiss. On February 18, 2019, the parties executed the settlement and cross-license agreement contemplated by the MOU. The terms include a payment to Nikon by ASML and Zeiss of a total of EUR 150.0 million and royalty payments of 0.8% by ASML and Zeiss to Nikon, and by Nikon to ASML and Zeiss, over the sales of their respective immersion lithography systems for 10 years from date of the agreement. As of December 31, 2018 we accrued an amount in the accrued and other liabilities of EUR 131.0 million representing ASML’s share of the EUR 150.0 million, which was paid during the first half of 2019.
Other commitments, contingencies and guarantees
As of January 1, 2019, ASML entered into a non-committed credit facility for our Chinese entity of EUR 130.0 million. The non-committed credit facility covers bank guarantees, standby letters of credit, as well as advances up to EUR 75.0 million.
During the first half of 2019, ASML entered into a ten year lease for real estate in San Jose, California for which ASML Holding N.V. executed a parental guarantee agreement with the landlord. The guarantee covers the associated rent and operating expenses our subsidiary is obliged to pay, up to USD 101.0 million. The parental guarantee serves as recourse in case of default by the subsidiary and cannot exceed the amounts stated above. In connection with this lease, there will be a USD 61.9 million lease liability which has not commenced as of June 30, 2019.
The nature, scale and scope of the other commitments, contingencies and guarantees are in line with those disclosed in the 2018 Integrated Report based on IFRS.
9. Income Taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on management’s best estimate of the expected annualized income tax rate for the full financial year, as well as discrete items recognized in the first two quarters of 2019. Our effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 is (4.9) percent, compared to 11.8 percent for the six-month period ended July 1, 2018. The decrease in effective tax rate compared to 2018 mainly relates to an internal restructuring, which resulted in an increase of deferred tax assets on intangible assets that were transferred within the group, as well as an increase in Tax Reform benefits at the level of our group companies in the United States.
10. Segment Disclosure
ASML has one reportable segment, for the development, production, marketing, sales, upgrading and servicing of advanced semiconductor equipment systems, consisting of lithography, metrology and inspection systems. Its operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to make decisions about resource allocation and assess performance.

12. Dividends and Share Buybacks
In the AGM of April 24, 2019, a dividend of EUR 2.10 per ordinary share of EUR 0.09 nominal value was approved for 2018. As a result, a total dividend amount of EUR 884.4 million was paid to our shareholders on May 8, 2019.
As part of ASML’s financial policy to return excess cash to shareholders through dividends and regularly timed share buybacks, in January 2018 ASML announced its intention to purchase up to EUR 2.5 billion of shares, to be executed within the 2018–2019 time frame. ASML intends to cancel these shares after repurchase, with the exception of up to 2.4 million shares, which will be used to cover employee share plans.
Through June 30, 2019, ASML has acquired 7.5 million shares under this program for a total consideration of EUR 1.2 billion. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, ASML acquired 0.4 million shares for a total consideration of EUR 70.0 million (July 1, 2018: 2.6 million shares for EUR 438.9 million).
The current program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. All transactions under this program are published on ASML’s website (www.asml.com/investors) on a weekly basis.
13. Related Party Transactions
During the first half year of 2019, there are no new related party relationships, as well as no significant or unusual related party transactions.
