ASML Holding NV said Wednesday that first-quarter net profit
rose and that it has decided to refrain from giving guidance for
the second quarter and full year in light of the coronavirus
pandemic situation.
Net profit for the first three months of the year was 391
million euros ($428.3 million) compared with EUR355 million for the
year-earlier period, the Dutch maker of semiconductor equipment
said.
Sales in the quarter rose to EUR2.44 billion from EUR2.23
billion for the same period a year earlier, ASML said. Gross margin
for the quarter was 45.1%.
The company said last month that it expected revenue for the
quarter to be between EUR2.4 billion and EUR2.5 billion and gross
margin to be in a range of 45% to 46%, lower than its previous
forecasts due to the coronavirus pandemic.
ASML shipped four units of its extreme ultraviolet--or
EUV--lithography systems, its most advanced technology, in the
first quarter, but was only able to recognize revenue for two
systems, it said.
The company said it benefited from stronger order intake, noting
that there is currently no change in demand.
