down 2.2% QoQ. Q1 2014 net income was €249.0 million or €0.57 per
basic share, compared to €481.0 million or €1.09 per basic share in
Q4 2013. "We are pleased to report that our first-quarter sales
came in as expected, largely driven by memory customers. Our gross
margin was better than expected because of a favorable product mix
compared with what we had forecasted and the contribution of our
Holistic Lithography products. Sales in the second quarter are
however expected to be affected by adjustments of system demand
from some logic customers. This means first-half 2014 sales will be
around €3 billion including sales from Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV)
systems, versus earlier guidance of around €3 billion which
excluded EUV," said Peter Wennink,
