Wennink Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer EX-99 3 asml991.txt EXH. 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 ASML Named World Leader in Stepper Market 54 Percent Share of Market Captured by ASML According to Analyst Firm VELDHOVEN, the Netherlands, May 1, 2003 - ASML Holding NV (ASML) today announced that the company has been named the world leader in the semiconductor stepper market by Gartner Dataquest, an independent research and consulting firm specializing in the technology industry. The findings are based on market surveys about 2002 revenues and unit sales from companies competing in the capital equipment market. Gartner Dataquest published the results of the surveys on April 22, 2003.** ASML won 54 percent of the world market for lithography for semiconductor production with 2002 revenues of US$ 1.5 billion, according to Gartner Dataquest. The firm estimates the world market at US$ 2.8 billion. In 2002, ASML's revenue was nearly double that of its nearest competitor and three times that of the competitor in third place. In a year-on-year comparison in this category, ASML also beat its own 2001 revenue generation of US$ 1.1 billion by 40 percent. "ASML is committed to leadership. It is embedded in our technology and brought to life by our employees. It is gratifying to have this commitment recognized," said Doug Dunn, president and CEO, ASML. "We fought long and hard to be number one. We plan to stay number one." In 2002, ASML also led the market in semiconductor lithography systems unit sales by shipping 196 units according to Gartner Dataquest. It outpaced the second- and third-place competitors by 67 units and 113 units or 34 percent and 58 percent, respectively. As above, in a year-on-year comparison of this category, ASML also topped its own 2001 unit sales of 184 semiconductor lithography systems by seven percent. "ASML's customers are in extremely competitive environments with no room for error. They demand quality in their technology and in their service," said Dave Chavoustie, executive vice president, sales, ASML. "ASML is first in leading-edge technology and totally committed to the success of our customers. ASML is the world leader in the stepper market because our customers recognize the true value of ownership that ASML offers." ** "2002 Semiconductor Lithography Equipment Market Share Analysis," Stromberg, Mark; Rinnen, Klaus; Ogawa, Takashi; Kuniba, Masao; Johnson, Robert; Walker, Jim and Freeman, Dean.

At full capacity, UMCi's wafer foundry will produce up to 40,000 wafers per month. "UMCi continues to install the world's most advanced manufacturing systems in our Singapore fab as we proceed with the facility's equipment move-in. The ASML TWINSCAN(TM) platform offers outstanding performance in a demanding, real-world environment. The tool's high productivity and excellent imaging quality will be a valuable asset as we move to production later this year," said Chris Chi, president, UMCi. Over the last few years, semiconductor companies have begun to shift from 200 mm wafers to 300 mm wafers, as the larger size can increase yields and lower production costs. Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) estimates that by 2006, there will be eleven 300 mm fabs in the world. When fully functioning, these eleven fabs will produce 282,000 wafers per month. "ASML secured an early lead in selling advanced lithography systems to the dedicated foundries of the world operating 300 mm fabs. We are committed to providing technology that adds value to customers in industries with high quality standards and no room for error," said Doug Dunn, president and CEO, ASML. UMCi will use ASML's AT:850B lithography system to image 0.13-micron circuits on 300 mm silicon wafers for the production of advanced chips. The AT:850B platform is a member of ASML's TWINSCAN family of optical lithography systems for 300 mm production down to the 80-nanometer technology node.
