Strong EUV demand drives ASML growth

Several years in the making, EUV lithography is now paying off for ASML. Fourth-quarter and full-year results just announced by the Dutch equipment manufacturer look very good: Q4 2019 net sales totaled €4.0 billion, with net income of €1.1 billion and gross margin of 48.1%. As for full 2019 results, net sales amounted to €11.8 billion with net income of €2.6 billion. For the first quarter of 2020, ASML expects net sales of between €3.1 billion and €3.3 billion and a gross margin between 46% and 47%. “We shipped eight EUV systems in the fourth quarter and we received orders for nine EUV systems,” said ASML’s CEO Peter Wennink in a statement. “We expect that 2020 will be another growth year, both in sales and in profitability, driven by EUV demand and our Installed Base business.
