ASML Holding N.V. Q3 FY2024 Earnings Call

· Earnings call transcript and AI-powered summary

Quarter Overview

  • Total net sales reached EUR 7.5 billion, above the high end of guidance, driven by stronger-than-expected Deep UV (DUV) system demand and higher Installed Base Management (IBM) revenue.
  • Net system sales were EUR 5.9 billion: EUR 2.1 billion from EUV and EUR 3.8 billion from non‑EUV.
  • Installed Base Management revenue was EUR 1.54 billion, above guidance, due to higher service and upgrade activity.
  • Gross margin: 50.8%, in line with expectations.
  • EPS for Q3: EUR 5.28.
  • Free cash flow improved slightly to EUR 534 million, though pressure remains due to lower order intake and higher EUV inventory tied to future ramps.
  • Backlog remained strong at over EUR 36 billion.

Business and Technology Highlights

  • Low NA EUV: NXE:3800E ramping rapidly; throughput now 220 wafers/hour (37% improvement vs. NXE:3600D). Majority of Q4 shipments will be 3800E.
  • High NA EUV: Two systems already exposing wafers at customer sites; revenue recognition expected by year‑end. Interest increasing following strong performance data and ~3x transistor-density improvement vs. Low NA.
  • High NA systems have now exposed ~10,000 wafers across logic and memory customers.
