Today, ASML Holding NV (ASML) has published its 2025 second-quarter results.
CEO statement and outlook
"Our second-quarter total net sales came in at €7.7 billion, at the top end of our guidance. The gross margin was 53.7%, above guidance, primarily driven by higher upgrade business and one-offs resulting in lower costs. "We see continued progress in litho intensity, particularly in DRAM, and the introduction of the TWINSCAN NXE:3800E reinforces that momentum. Meanwhile, EUV adoption is advancing as planned, including High NA. This quarter, we shipped the first TWINSCAN EXE:5200B system. Looking at 2026, we see that our AI customers' fundamentals remain strong. At the same time, we continue to see increasing uncertainty driven by macro-economic and geopolitical developments. Therefore, while we still prepare for growth in 2026, we cannot confirm it at this stage."
"We expect third-quarter total net sales between €7.4 billion and €7.9 billion, with a gross margin between 50% and 52%. We expect R&D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&A costs of around €310 million. For the full year 2025, we expect a 15% increase in total net sales and a gross margin of around 52%," said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet.
Update dividend and share buyback program
An interim dividend of €1.60 per ordinary share will be made payable on August 6, 2025.
In the second quarter, we purchased around €1.4 billion worth of shares under the current 2022-2025 share buyback program.
Details of the share buyback program as well as transactions pursuant thereto, and details of the dividend are published on ASML's website.
