ASML announces 2008 First Quarter Results
ASML continues to execute its leadership strategy, expects gradual order pick-up
VELDHOVEN, the Netherlands, April 16, 2008 — ASML Holding NV (ASML) today announces 2008 first quarter results according to US GAAP as follows:
    Q1 2008 net sales of EUR 919 million versus Q4 2007 net sales of EUR 9551 million (Q1 2007 net sales of EUR 9491 million)
 
    Q1 2008 net income of EUR 145 million or 15.8 percent of net sales versus Q4 2007 net income of EUR 2011 million or 21.01 percent of net sales (Q1 2007 net income of EUR 1531 million or 16.11 percent of net sales)
 
    Q1 2008 net bookings valued at EUR 312 million with 26 systems including 17 new and 9 used systems, leading to an order backlog valued at EUR 1,167 million as of March 30, 2008.
“Thanks to strong immersion product shipments, we were able to generate net sales above EUR 900 million for the eighth quarter in a row,” said Eric Meurice, president and CEO of ASML. “We shipped 14 immersion machines, our most advanced system, as Flash memory makers are ramping chip production in the 50 nanometer (nm) range, and as most other semiconductor manufacturers are in varying phases of developing immersion production processes and preparing for immersion volume production. Beyond immersion technology, we can report progress on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV), as the world’s first working full-field test chip made on one of our EUV machines was announced at the SPIE Advanced Lithography conference in February. We also concluded our latest share buyback program and announced that we will initiate an

annual dividend of EUR 0.25 per ordinary share, confirming ASML’s stable and cash-generative performance,” Meurice said.
Operations Update
In Q1 2008, ASML net sales of EUR 919 million included 43 new and 7 used systems, totaling net system sales of EUR 820 million, and net service and field options sales of EUR 99 million. Net system sales for Q4 2007 included the shipment of 50 new and 5 used machines, totaling EUR 8351 million, and net service and field options sales of EUR 120 million.
The Q1 2008 average selling price for a new system increased to EUR 18.7 million, compared with the Q4 2007 average selling price (ASP) for a new system of EUR 16.21 million, as a result of a shift of the product mix to systems with a higher ASP. The Q1 2008 average selling price for all ASML systems sold was EUR 16.4 million, compared with the Q4 2007 average selling price of EUR 15.21 million.
Q1 2008 net bookings totaled 26 systems valued at EUR 312 million, reflecting a large proportion of used and logic systems, with 17 new systems with an average selling price for new systems of EUR 15.7 million.
ASML’s order backlog as of March 30, 2008 decreased to EUR 1,167 million, totaling 65 systems with an average selling price of EUR 18.0 million. For comparison, ASML’s backlog as of December 31, 2007 was valued at EUR 1,697 million, totaling 89 systems with an average selling price of EUR 19.1 million.
In Q1 2008, ASML generated a net income of EUR 145 million or EUR 0.34 per ordinary share as compared with a net income of EUR 2011 million in Q4 2007 or EUR 0.461 per ordinary share.
The company’s Q1 2008 gross margin was 40.6 percent, compared with the Q4 2007 gross margin of 40.81 percent.

Q1 2008 research and development (R&D) costs were EUR 128 million net of credits, compared with Q4 2007 R&D costs of EUR 129 million net of credits.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs were EUR 57 million in Q1 2008, compared with SG&A costs of EUR 57 million in Q4 2007.
Net cash from operations was EUR 263 million in Q1 2008. ASML ended Q1 2008 with EUR 1,397 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Outlook
“We booked 26 systems during the quarter, reflecting on the one hand a sustained demand from Logic customers and on the other the delayed ramps of two new Flash memory fabs and of one DRAM fab extension. We expect a gradual unit order pick-up from the second quarter onwards, driven by strategic and technological developments; lithography demand will be supported in particular by the new 45 nm node Flash memory ramp required in the 2008 second half, the expected firming up of DRAM prices and the completion of new strategic alignments between DRAM makers. We expect that the resulting order mix will favor our leading-edge technology systems, fuelling a significant increase in the second quarter bookings value. We however expect the unit order pick-up to be gradual until second tier DRAM vendors start ordering immersion systems and until Flash vendors start preparing their 2009 double patterning ramp. This order pattern will translate into weaker net sales for the next two quarters. This brings our estimate for full year 2008 net sales down by about 10% as compared with the record sales achieved in 2007. Given our current view of the duration of the correction in semiconductor capital expenditures, we are trimming Manufacturing and SG&A variable costs for the 2008 second half while keeping R&D stable,” Meurice said.
The company expects to ship 42 systems in Q2 2008 with an average selling price of EUR 21.2 million for new systems and an average selling price for all systems of EUR 17.0 million. The company expects a gross margin in Q2 2008 of approximately 40 percent, R&D expenditures to increase to EUR 130 million, net of credits and SG&A costs to be EUR 58 million.

Forward Looking Statements
“Safe Harbor” Statement under the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: the matters discussed in this document may include forward-looking statements, including statements made about our outlook, realization of backlog, IC unit demand, financial results, average sales price, gross margin and expenses. These forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: economic conditions, product demand and semiconductor equipment industry capacity, worldwide demand and manufacturing capacity utilization for semiconductors (the principal product of our customer base), competitive products and pricing, manufacturing efficiencies, new product development and customer acceptance of new products, ability to enforce patents and protect intellectual property rights, the outcome of intellectual property litigation, availability of raw materials and critical manufacturing equipment, trade environment, changes in exchange rates 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.
 
1   As of January 1, 2008 ASML accounts for award credits offered to its customers as part of a volume purchase agreement using the deferred revenue model. Until December 31, 2007 the cost accrual method was used. This change in accounting policy was made because the deferred revenue model better reflects the business rationale. In addition the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee concludes in interpretation 13 (IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes”) that the deferred revenue model is the appropriate accounting treatment. Comparative figures for 2007 were adjusted to reflect this change in accounting policy. The impact of this change on equity as per January 1, 2007 amounted to EUR 8.1 million (decrease) and on net income for the year 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 amounted to EUR 8.6 million (decrease) and EUR 0.1 million (increase) respectively.

ASML — Notes to the Summary U.S. GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
ASML follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Further disclosures, as required under U.S. GAAP in annual reports, are not included in the summary consolidated financial statements. Unless stated otherwise, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of euros (‘EUR’).
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ASML Holding N.V. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of ASML’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenue and expense during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recognition of revenues
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 the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility 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 clean room 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. A system is shipped, and revenue recognized, only after all specifications are met and customer sign-off is received or waived. Although each system’s performance is re-tested upon installation at the customer’s site, ASML has never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises.
For arrangements containing multiple elements, the revenue relating to the undelivered elements is deferred at estimated fair value until delivery of these elements. Revenue from installation services and service contracts provided to our customers is initially deferred and is recognized when the installation is completed and, in case of service contracts, over the life of those contracts. Revenue from extended and enhanced warranties is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the contract period. The costs of providing services under extended and enhanced warranties are recognized when they occur.

Notes to the reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to IFRS
Note 1 Share-based Payments
Under IFRS, ASML applies IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments” beginning from January 1, 2004. In accordance with IFRS 2, ASML records as an expense the fair value of its share-based payments with respect to stock options granted to its employees after November 7, 2002.
Under U.S. GAAP, until December 31, 2005, ASML accounted for stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 “Accounting for stock issued to employees” and provided pro forma disclosure of the impact of the fair value method on net income and earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”. As of January 1, 2006, ASML applies SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” which is a revision of SFAS No.123. SFAS 123(R) 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.
Note 2 Capitalization of development costs
Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”. During the second half of 2004, ASML made changes to its administrative systems in order to provide sufficient information to comply with IFRS beginning from January 1, 2005. Sufficient reliable information to account for capitalization of development expenditures under IFRS before January 1, 2005 is not available. Under IAS 38, capitalized development expenditures are amortized over the expected useful life of the related product generally ranging between 2 and 3 years. Amortization starts when the developed product is ready for volume production.
Under U.S. GAAP, ASML applies SFAS No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”. In accordance with SFAS No. 2, ASML charges costs relating to research and development to operating expense as incurred.

 


 

Note 3 Convertible Subordinated Notes
Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 32 “Financial instruments: Disclosure and presentation” and IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” beginning from January 1, 2005. In accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39, ASML accounts separately for the equity and liability component of its convertible notes (“Split accounting”). The equity component relates to the grant of a conversion option to shares to the holder of the bond. Split accounting results in additional interest charges.
Under U.S. GAAP, ASML accounts for its convertible bonds as a liability at the principal amount outstanding. As of December 31, 2007 ASML has no Convertible Subordinated Notes outstanding.
Note 4 Income taxes
Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 12, “Income Taxes” beginning from January 1, 2005. In accordance with IAS 12, unrealized net income resulting from intercompany transactions that is eliminated from the carrying amount of assets on consolidation gives rise to a temporary difference for which deferred taxes must be recognized on consolidation. The deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.
Under U.S. GAAP, the elimination of unrealized net income from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets on consolidation, give rise to a temporary difference for which prepaid taxes must be recognized on consolidation. Contrary to IFRS, the prepaid taxes under U.S. GAAP are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the seller’s tax jurisdiction.
“Safe Harbor” Statement under the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: the matters discussed in this document may include forward-looking statements, including statements made about our outlook, realization of backlog, IC unit demand, financial results, average sales price, gross margin and expenses. These forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: economic conditions, product demand and semiconductor equipment industry capacity, worldwide demand and manufacturing capacity utilization for semiconductors (the principal product of our customer base), competitive products and pricing, manufacturing efficiencies, new product development and customer acceptance of new products, ability to enforce patents and protect intellectual property rights, the outcome of intellectual property litigation, availability of raw materials and critical manufacturing equipment, trade environment, changes in exchange rates 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.

 


 

 
1   All quarterly information in this press release is unaudited.
 
2   The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share assumes conversion of our Subordinated Notes as such conversions would have a dilutive effect.
 
3   The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share assumes the exercise of options issued under ASML stock option plans as such exercises would have a dilutive effect.
 
4   As of January 1, 2008 ASML accounts for award credits offered to its customers as part of a volume purchase agreement using the deferred revenue model. Until December 31, 2007 the cost accrual method was used. This change in accounting policy was made because the deferred revenue model better reflects the business rationale. In addition the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee concludes in interpretation 13 (IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes”) that the deferred revenue model is the appropriate accounting treatment. Comparative figures for 2007 were adjusted to reflect this change in accounting policy. The impact of this change on equity as per January 1, 2007 amounted to EUR 8.1 million (decrease) and on net income for the year 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 amounted to EUR 8.6 million (decrease) and EUR 0.1 million (increase) respectively.

ASML — Notes to the Summary IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
ASML has prepared the accompanying summary consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the EU — 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of euros (‘EUR’), except otherwise indicated.
For internal and external reporting purposes, ASML follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP is ASML’s primary accounting standard for the Company’s setting of financial and operational performance targets.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ASML Holding N.V. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of ASML’s 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 balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recognition of revenues
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 the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility 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 clean room 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. A system is shipped, and revenue recognized, only after all specifications are met and customer sign-off is received or waived. Although each system’s performance is re-tested upon installation at the customer’s site, ASML has never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises.
For arrangements containing multiple elements, the revenue relating to the undelivered elements is deferred at estimated fair value until delivery of these elements. Revenue from installation services and service contracts provided to our customers is initially deferred and is recognized when the installation is completed and, in case of service contracts, over the life of those contracts. Revenue from extended and enhanced warranties is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the contract period. The costs of providing services under extended and enhanced warranties are recognized when they occur.

Notes to the reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to IFRS
Note 1 Share-based Payments
Under IFRS, ASML applies IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments” beginning from January 1, 2004. In accordance with IFRS 2, ASML records as an expense the fair value of its share-based payments with respect to stock options granted to its employees after November 7, 2002.
Under U.S. GAAP, until December 31, 2005, ASML accounted for stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 “Accounting for stock issued to employees” and provided pro forma disclosure of the impact of the fair value method on net income and earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”. As of January 1, 2006, ASML applies SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” which is a revision of SFAS No.123. SFAS 123(R) 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.
Note 2 Capitalization of development costs
Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”. During the second half of 2004, ASML made changes to its administrative systems in order to provide sufficient information to comply with IFRS beginning from January 1, 2005. Sufficient reliable information to account for capitalization of development expenditures under IFRS before January 1, 2005 is not available. Under IAS 38, capitalized development expenditures are amortized over the expected useful life of the related product generally ranging between 2 and 3 years. Amortization starts when the developed product is ready for volume production.
Under U.S. GAAP, ASML applies SFAS No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”. In accordance with SFAS No. 2, ASML charges costs relating to research and development to operating expense as incurred.

 


 

Note 3 Convertible Subordinated Notes
Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 32 “Financial instruments: Disclosure and presentation” and IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” beginning from January 1, 2005. In accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39, ASML accounts separately for the equity and liability component of its convertible notes (“Split accounting”). The equity component relates to the grant of a conversion option to shares to the holder of the bond. Split accounting results in additional interest charges.
Under U.S. GAAP, ASML accounts for its convertible bonds as a liability at the principal amount outstanding. As of December 31, 2007 ASML has no Convertible Subordinated Notes outstanding.
Note 4 Income taxes
Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 12, “Income Taxes” beginning from January 1, 2005. In accordance with IAS 12, unrealized net income resulting from intercompany transactions that is eliminated from the carrying amount of assets on consolidation gives rise to a temporary difference for which deferred taxes must be recognized on consolidation. The deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.
Under U.S. GAAP, the elimination of unrealized net income from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets on consolidation, give rise to a temporary difference for which prepaid taxes must be recognized on consolidation. Contrary to IFRS, the prepaid taxes under U.S. GAAP are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the seller’s tax jurisdiction.

1   All quarterly information in this press release is unaudited.
 
2   As of January 1, 2008 ASML has early adopted IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes”. IFRIC 13 requires award credits offered to its customers as part of a volume purchase agreement to be accounted for using the deferred revenue model. Until December 31, 2007 cost accrual method was used. ASML early adopted this interpretation because the deferred revenue model better reflects the business rationale for offering award credits. Comparative figures for 2007 were adjusted to reflect this change in accounting policy. The impact of this change on equity as per January 1, 2007 amounted to EUR 8.1 million (decrease) and on net income for the year 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 amounted to EUR 8.6 million (decrease) and EUR 0.1 million (increase) respectively.
