New orders totaled €3.9 billion during the quarter. The chip equipment maker delivered its fifth High NA system to customers.
ASML expects second-quarter sales between €7.2 billion and €7.7 billion, with gross margins of 50-53%. The company maintains its full-year 2025 outlook of €30-35 billion in sales. CEO Christophe Fouquet noted that artificial intelligence remains the main industry growth driver, but recent tariff announcements have created market uncertainty.
The company plans to increase its annual dividend to €6.40 per share, up 4.9% from last year. This includes three interim payments already made and a final proposed dividend of €1.84 per share. ASML repurchased approximately €2.7 billion worth of shares during the first quarter under its ongoing buyback program.
ASML released a video interview with CEO Fouquet and CFO Roger Dassen discussing these results. The company will hold an investor call on April 16 at 15:00 Central European Time for additional questions about its performance and outlook.
