CEO Statement

“Our 2014 fourth-quarter net sales came in ahead of guidance, as the memory sector was stronger than we expected. Full-year sales rose 12 percent from 2013 to a record EUR 5.86 billion, gross margin was up almost 3 percentage points to 44.3 percent, while earnings per share increased by 16 percent to EUR 2.74 per share. Looking ahead to H1 2015, we expect both our sales to the memory segment and our service and field option business to continue to be strong and sales to the logic segment to increase from H2 2014 to H1 2015, underpinned by the EUR 2.8 billion backlog,” ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink said.

“As extensively discussed during our investor day in November, our EUV program in 2015 will focus on continuing the encouraging progress in productivity and in shipping our fourth-generation EUV tools, the NXE:3350B,” Wennink said.

2014 Product Highlights

 

   

We successfully ramped our newest immersion system, the NXT:1970Ci and shipped 51 systems

 

   

Our TWINSCAN immersion systems set new productivity records: two systems each imaged more than 1.5 million wafers in a 12-month period

 

   

A total of seven NXE:3300B EUV systems were in the field by end-2014

 

   

On the NXE:3300B systems we achieved the 500-wafer-per-day target that our customers have set for end-2014 and demonstrated stable source operation at 80 W running continuously for 24 hours at a customer site

 

   

TSMC ordered two NXE:3350B EUV systems for delivery in 2015 with the intention to use those systems in production. In addition, two NXE:3300B systems already delivered to TSMC will be upgraded to NXE:3350B performance.

 

   

The ramp in shipments of our YieldStar metrology tool continued, with a total of 199 systems shipped to all major customers

Outlook

For the first quarter of 2015, ASML expects net sales of around EUR 1.6 billion, a gross margin of around 47 percent, R&D costs of about EUR 260 million, other income of about EUR 20 million — which consists of contributions from participants of the Customer Co-Investment Program — and SG&A costs of about EUR 83 million.

Dividend and new Share Buyback Program

Given ASML’s strong financial position and cash flow prospects, ASML intends to continue to return excess cash to shareholders through dividends and share buyback programs in accordance with our policy, thereby supporting its shareholders in their continued investment in the company.

ASML intends to increase the dividend per ordinary share by 15 percent compared with last year. Therefore, we will submit a proposal to the 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) to declare a dividend in respect of 2014 of EUR 0.70 per ordinary share (for a total amount of approximately EUR 300 million), compared with a dividend of EUR 0.61 per ordinary share paid in respect of 2013.

ASML also announces a new share buyback program, to be executed within the 2015-2016 timeframe. As part of this program, ASML intends to purchase up to EUR 750 million of shares which it intends to cancel upon repurchase. In addition, ASML intends to purchase as part of this program up to 3.3 million shares to cover employee stock and stock option plans. This buyback program will start on 22 January 2015, and at current share price these intended repurchases represent a total value of approximately EUR 1 billion.

The share buyback program will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the AGM on April 23, 2014 and of the authority granted at future AGMs. The share buyback program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. All transactions under this program will be published on ASML’s website (www.asml.com/investors) on a weekly basis.

Shrink is the key industry driver supporting innovation and providing long term industry growth 21 January 2015

Moore’s Law will continue and be affordable

Lithography enables affordable shrink and therefore delivers compelling value for our customers ASML’s strategy of large R&D investments in lithography product roadmaps supports future industry needs DUV product improvement roadmaps and Holistic Litho enable multi-pass immersion patterning today, with Holistic Litho supporting EUV in future. These highly differentiated products provide unique value drivers for us and our customers EUV faces normal new technology introduction challenges but its adoption is now a matter of WHEN not IF. EUV will continue to enable Moore’s Law and will drive long term value for ASML ASML models an annual revenue opportunity of €10 billion by 2020 and given the significant leverage in our financial model this will allow a potential tripling of EPS by the end of this decade thereby creating significant value for all stakeholders We expect to continue to return excess cash to our shareholders through dividends that are stable or growing and regularly timed share buybacks in line with our policy

2015 bit growth is forecasted to be similar to 2014 at around 30% 2x nm node ramps expected to meet bit demand Some wafer capacity adds to compensate growing die size (mobile) Litho tool adds to compensate process complexity

2015 bit growth is forecasted to be about same level as 2014 at around 35% Demand met through 1x nm planar shrink and capacity expansion via new litho equipment purchases and tool relocations

28 and 20nm node capacity additions continue

A total of 7 EUV NXE:3300B systems were in the field by the end of 2014

Achieved our target of 500 wafers per day productivity on NXE:3300B at multiple customer sites

Demonstrated stable source operation at 80 W running continuously for 24 hours at a customer site

TSMC ordered 2 NXE:3350B systems for delivery in 2015 with the intention to use those systems in production

DUV and Holistic Litho

Ramped our newest immersion system NXT:1970Ci, and shipped 51 systems

Set productivity records for immersion systems: 2 systems each imaged more than 1.5 million wafers in a 12-month period

Ramp in shipments of our YieldStar metrology tool continued, bringing the total installed base at all major customers to 199 systems

Notes to the Summary U.S. GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of euros (“EUR”) unless otherwise indicated. ASML follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). On May 30, 2013, we acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Cymer Inc., financial information presented in the summary consolidated financial statements include Cymer Inc. as of that date. Further disclosures, as required under US GAAP in annual reports, are not included in the summary consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the balance sheet dates, and the reported amounts of net sales and costs during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ASML Holding N.V. and all of its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity in which ASML is the primary beneficiary (referred to as “ASML”). All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 50 percent of the voting rights.

Revenue recognition

In general, ASML recognizes revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; seller’s price to buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. At ASML this policy generally results in revenue recognition from the sale of a system upon shipment. The revenue from the installation of a system is generally recognized upon completion of that installation at the customer site. Each system undergoes, prior to shipment, a “Factory Acceptance Test” in ASML’s cleanroom facilities, effectively replicating the operating conditions that will be present on the customer’s site, in order to verify whether the system will meet its standard specifications and any additional technical and performance criteria agreed with the customer, if any. A system is shipped, and revenue is recognized, only after all specifications are met and customer sign-off is received or waived. In case not all specifications are met and the remaining performance obligation is not essential to the functionality of the system but is substantive rather than inconsequential or perfunctory, a portion of the sales price is deferred. Although each system’s performance is re-tested upon installation at the customer’s site, ASML has never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises.

In connection with the introduction of new technology, such as EUV, we initially defer revenue recognition until acceptance of the new technology based system and completion of installation at the customer’s premises. As our systems are based largely on two product platforms that permit incremental, modular upgrades, the introduction of genuinely “new” technology occurs infrequently, and in the past 15 years, has occurred on only two occasions: 2000 (TWINSCAN) and 2010 (EUV).

The main portion of ASML’s revenue is derived from contractual arrangements with our customers that have multiple deliverables, which mainly include the sale of our systems, installation and training services and prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts. For each of the specified deliverables ASML determines the selling price by using either vendor specific objective evidence (‘VSOE’), third party evidence (‘TPE’) or by best estimate of the selling price (‘BESP’). When we are unable to establish relative selling price using VSOE or TPE, ASML uses BESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The total arrangement consideration is allocated at inception of the arrangement to all deliverables on the basis of their relative selling price. The revenue relating to the undelivered elements of the arrangements is deferred at their relative selling prices until delivery of these elements. Revenue from installation and training services is recognized when the services are completed. Revenue from prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts is recognized over the term of the contract.


For our NXE:3300B systems, we are unable to determine VSOE for prepaid extended, enhanced (optic) warranty contracts and installation. We determined for NXE:3300B systems that BESP is the appropriate reference in the fair value hierarchy for prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts. We review selling prices periodically and maintain internal controls over the establishment and updates of these elements.

Foreign currency risk management

Our sales are predominately denominated in euros. Exceptions may occur on a customer by customer basis. Our cost of sales and other expenses are mainly dominated in euros, to a certain extent in US dollars and Japanese yen and to a limited extent in other currencies. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.

It is our policy to hedge material transaction exposures, such as forecasted sales and purchase transactions, and material net remeasurement exposures, such as accounts receivable and payable. We hedge these exposures through the use of foreign exchange contracts.

Notes to the reconciliation from US GAAP to IFRS

Note 1 Development expenditures

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 730, “Research and Development”. In accordance with ASC 730, ASML charges costs relating to research and development to operating expense as incurred.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”. In accordance with IAS 38, ASML capitalizes certain development expenditures that are amortized over the expected useful life of the related product generally ranging between one and five years. Amortization starts when the developed product is ready for volume production.

Note 2 Share-based Payments

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” which requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant-date fair value of those instruments. ASC 718’s general principle is that a deferred tax asset is established as we recognize compensation costs for commercial purposes for awards that are expected to result in a tax deduction under existing tax law. Under US GAAP, the deferred tax recorded on share-based compensation is computed on the basis of the expense recognized in the financial statements. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do not affect the deferred tax asset recorded in our financial statements.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments”. In accordance with IFRS 2, ASML records as an expense the fair value of its share-based payments with respect to stock options and shares granted to its employees. Under IFRS, at period end a deferred tax asset is computed on the basis of the tax deduction for the share-based payments under the applicable tax law and is recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these deductible temporary differences will be utilized. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do affect the deferred tax asset at period-end and result in adjustments to the deferred tax asset.

Note 3 Income taxes

Under US GAAP, the elimination of unrealized net income from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which prepaid taxes must be recognized in consolidation. Contrary to IFRS, the prepaid taxes under US GAAP are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the seller’s rather than the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 12, “Income Taxes”. In accordance with IAS 12 unrealized net income resulting from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which deferred taxes must be recognized in consolidation. The deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.

These statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and our future financial results and readers should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, economic conditions, product demand and semiconductor equipment industry capacity, worldwide demand and manufacturing capacity utilization for semiconductors (the principal product of our customer base), including the impact of general economic conditions on consumer confidence and demand for our customers’ products, competitive products and pricing, the impact of manufacturing efficiencies and capacity constraints, performance of our systems, the continuing success of technology advances and the related pace of new product development and customer acceptance of new products, the number and timing of EUV systems expected to be shipped and recognized in revenue, our ability to enforce patents and protect intellectual property rights, the risk of intellectual property litigation, availability of raw materials and critical manufacturing equipment, trade environment, changes in exchange rates, available cash, distributable reserves for dividend payments and share repurchases, risks associated with the Cymer acquisition and other risks indicated in the risk factors included in ASML’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this document. We do not undertake to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share assumes the exercise of options issued under ASML stock option plans and the issuance of shares under ASML share plans for periods in which exercises or issuances would have a dilutive effect. The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not assume exercise of such options or issuance of shares when such exercises or issuance would be anti-dilutive.

Our systems backlog and net bookings include sales orders for which written authorizations have been accepted and shipment and/or revenue recognition is expected within 12 months. As of Q4 2014 we also include EUV in our backlog starting with our NXE:3350B systems. As a result, two NXE:3350B systems are now included in our systems backlog and net bookings. Before Q4 2014, our systems backlog and net bookings include only sales orders for which written authorizations have been accepted and system shipment and revenue recognition dates within the following 12 months have been assigned. This change has no impact on the comparative figures.

Notes to the Summary IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of euros (“EUR”) unless otherwise indicated. ASML has prepared the accompanying summary consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“IFRS”) accounting principles generally accepted in the Netherlands for companies quoted on Euronext Amsterdam. On May 30, 2013, we acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Cymer Inc., financial information presented in the summary consolidated financial statements include Cymer Inc. as of that date. Further disclosures, as required under IFRS in annual reports and interim reporting (IAS 34), are not included in the summary consolidated financial statements.

For internal and external reporting purposes, we apply accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). US GAAP is our primary accounting standard for the setting of financial and operational performance targets.

Use of estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the dates of the consolidated statement of financial position and the reported amounts of net sales and costs during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ASML Holding N.V. and its subsidiaries and the special purpose entity of which ASML is the primary beneficiary (referred to as “ASML”). All intercompany profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 50 percent of the voting rights.

Revenue recognition

In general, we recognize the revenue from the sale of a system upon shipment and the revenue from the installation of a system upon completion of that installation at the customer site. Each system undergoes, prior to shipment, a “Factory Acceptance Test” in ASML’s cleanroom facilities, effectively replicating the operating conditions that will be present on the customer’s site, in order to verify whether the system will meet its standard specifications and any additional technical and performance criteria agreed with the customer, if any. A system is shipped, and revenue is recognized, only after all specifications are met and customer sign-off is received or waived. In case not all specifications are met and the remaining performance obligation is not essential to the functionality of the system but is substantive rather than inconsequential or perfunctory, a portion of the sales price is deferred. Although each system’s performance is re-tested upon installation at the customer’s site, we have never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises.

In connection with the introduction of new technology, such as EUV, we initially defer revenue recognition until acceptance of the new technology based system and completion of installation at the customer’s premises. As our systems are based largely on two product platforms that permit incremental, modular upgrades, the introduction of genuinely “new” technology occurs infrequently, and in the past 15 years, has occurred on only two occasions: 2000 (TWINSCAN) and 2010 (EUV).

The main portion of our revenue is derived from contractual arrangements with our customers that have multiple deliverables, which mainly include the sale of our systems, installation and training services and prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts. The revenue relating to the undelivered elements of the arrangements is deferred until delivery of these elements. Revenue from installation and training services is recognized when the services are completed. Revenue from prepaid extended and enhanced (optic) warranty contracts is recognized over the term of the contract.


Foreign currency risk management

Our sales are predominately denominated in euros. Exceptions may occur on a customer by customer basis. Our cost of sales and other expenses are mainly dominated in euros, to a certain extent in US dollars and Japanese yen and to a limited extent in other currencies. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.

It is our policy to hedge material transaction exposures, such as forecasted sales and purchase transactions, and material net remeasurement exposures, such as accounts receivable and payable. We hedge these exposures through the use of foreign exchange contracts.

Notes to the reconciliation from US GAAP to IFRS

Note 1 Development expenditures

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 730, “Research and Development”. In accordance with ASC 730, ASML charges costs relating to research and development to operating expense as incurred.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 38, “Intangible Assets”. In accordance with IAS 38, ASML capitalizes certain development expenditures that are amortized over the expected useful life of the related product generally ranging between one and five years. Amortization starts when the developed product is ready for volume production.

Note 2 Share-based Payments

Under US GAAP, ASML applies ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” which requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant-date fair value of those instruments. ASC 718’s general principle is that a deferred tax asset is established as we recognize compensation costs for commercial purposes for awards that are expected to result in a tax deduction under existing tax law. Under US GAAP, the deferred tax recorded on share-based compensation is computed on the basis of the expense recognized in the financial statements. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do not affect the deferred tax asset recorded in our financial statements.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments”. In accordance with IFRS 2, ASML records as an expense the fair value of its share-based payments with respect to stock options and shares granted to its employees. Under IFRS, at period end a deferred tax asset is computed on the basis of the tax deduction for the share-based payments under the applicable tax law and is recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these deductible temporary differences will be utilized. Therefore, changes in ASML’s share price do affect the deferred tax asset at period-end and result in adjustments to the deferred tax asset.

Note 3 Income taxes

Under US GAAP, the elimination of unrealized net income from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which prepaid taxes must be recognized in consolidation. Contrary to IFRS, the prepaid taxes under US GAAP are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the seller’s rather than the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.

Under IFRS, ASML applies IAS 12, “Income Taxes”. In accordance with IAS 12 unrealized net income resulting from intercompany transactions that are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets in consolidation give rise to a temporary difference for which deferred taxes must be recognized in consolidation. The deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate applicable in the purchaser’s tax jurisdiction.
