Market


 

Macro and sector trends Global economic environment not improving Logic/Foundry customer factory utilization rates remain high, especially for 300mm. Logic chip ASPs are rising but these customers are tightly controlling capex DRAM installed litho capacity is more or less stable. Customers mainly order leading-edge equipment for technology transitions, as slow price recovery does not entice customers to build additional capacity NAND prices remain low with uncertain seasonal end demand


 

Achievements


 

Q2 achievements Strong immersion performance with 16 immersion tools shipped in Q2 Increased market share in Japan Announced new high-productivity immersion system TWINSCAN(tm) XT:1950i Accomplished breakthroughs in EUV


 

Immersion is key in 2008 Shipped 30 immersion systems YTD Booked 20 immersion systems in Q2 Current backlog includes 27 immersion systems On track to nearly double immersion revenue in 2008 compared with 2007

Business summary


 

Solid Q2 results Net sales of &128; 844 million Gross Margin of 40%, Operating margin of 18% Cash generation from Operations &128; 130 million Shipped 16 immersion tools Booked 33 systems, valued at &128; 632 Backlog at &128; 1,106 million, 59 systems Record average selling price for new shipped systems of &128; 21.7 million


 

Decreased corporate tax rate in future Due to new tax law, income attributable to intangible assets (patents) is effectively taxed at a lower rate in the Netherlands Going forward this will result in a structurally lower effective corporate tax rate this year and beyond, estimated to be 20% on a normalized basis

Outlook


 

ASML's business model in current environment Our gross margin target at &128; 900 million of quarterly sales is approx. 40% Gross margin is impacted by lower coverage of fixed cost at reduced sales volumes Price pressures will be dealt with through accelerated cost reductions (Manufacturing and SG&A cost flexibility and Supply base) and performance upgrades (TWINSCAN H version and new architecture introduction) Our R&D spend will not be substantially lower than &128; 130 million per quarter unless we fall below a &128; 3 billion annual sales level


 

Q3 2008 outlook ASML expects to ship 37 systems ASP for new + used systems expected to be &128; 15.6 million Gross margin approximately 38% R&D is expected at &128; 130 million net of credit SG&A is expected to decrease to &128; 52 million


 

Outlook As anticipated, our Q2 bookings increased to 33 systems versus 26 in Q1 with a high average selling price of &128; 19.2 million. Although, this level of orders is in line with our earlier expectation of a full year 2008 net sales decrease of about 10% versus 2007, the current macro-economic weakness may force our customers to focus only on technology transfers to immersion and delay capacity additions for non-leading edge processes In that case, our 2008 net sales may potentially drop by as much as 20% versus 2007. Still, demand for our latest immersion technology remains robust, with 80% of Q3 system revenues expected to come from the XT:1900i Following this trend, we expect immersion bookings in Q3 to be similar to that of Q2, but cannot easily guide on the number of orders for non- leading edge systems


 

Outlook continued We expect the 2009 lithography business to be supported by several positive trends. The DRAM ramp-up of 55 nm, the healthy revenue growth at our foundry customers - in particular on leading edge processes - and the transition to double patterning lithography by flash memory leaders will contribute to a positive development mid-term, although it is too early to forecast our 2009 business Therefore, in order to adapt to the uncertain overall economy and to the strong euro impact, we have reduced SG&A costs versus Q1 2008 by around 10% and are controlling manufacturing costs by utilizing our system of flexible working hours Furthermore, while maintaining our R&D investment level and our ability to meet short term demand pickup, we are executing a comprehensive efficiency program together with our supply base to provide the market with even more cost effective solutions
