ASML 1Q Net Sales, Gross Margin Beat Guidance as Net Bookings Drop 1:35 AM ET 4/19/23 \| Dow Jones By Kyle Morris ASML Holding NV said Wednesday that first-quarter net sales and gross margin beat guidance due to higher than expected extreme ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet revenue, but that net bookings dropped on quarter. The Dutch manufacturer of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry said that net income was 1.95 billion euros ($2.14 billion) compared with EUR1.82 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net sales for the first quarter were EUR6.75 billion compared with EUR6.43 billion in the previous quarter. Net bookings for the quarter were EUR3.75 billion compared with EUR6.32 billion. "We continue to see mixed signals on demand from the different end-market segments as the industry works to bring inventory to more healthy levels. Some major customers are making further adjustments to demand timing while we also see other customers absorbing this demand change, particularly in DUV at more mature nodes. The overall demand still exceeds our capacity for this year and we currently have a backlog of over EUR38.9 billion," Chief Executive Peter Wennink said. For the second quarter, ASML sees net sales between EUR6.5 billion and EUR7.0 billion and a gross margin between 50% and 51%. ASML expects 2023 net sales to grow over 25% compared with 2022. The company declared a total dividend for 2022 of EUR5.80 per ordinary share.
