The earnings call presented a strong financial performance for Q4 2024, with revenue and gross margin exceeding expectations. The company highlighted significant progress in High NA EUV systems and a positive outlook for AI-driven demand in 2025. However, challenges such as a decline in Logic and EUV sales, and potential geopolitical risks were noted. Overall, the highlights outweigh the lowlights, suggesting a positive sentiment.

Company Guidance

During ASML's Q4 2024 financial results call, the company provided guidance for Q1 2025 and beyond, highlighting key metrics and expectations. For Q1 2025, ASML anticipates total net sales between €7.5 billion and €8 billion, with an installed base management sales projection of approximately €2.1 billion. The gross margin is expected to range from 52% to 53%, driven by the absence of High NA revenue recognition and tempered by lower immersion volume. R&D expenses are forecasted at around €1.14 billion, while SG&A is expected to be approximately €290 million. For the full year 2025, ASML projects revenue between €30 billion and €35 billion, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%. The company emphasized the role of artificial intelligence as a significant growth driver and noted potential geopolitical risks and customer dynamics that could influence results. ASML also announced a total dividend for 2024 of €6.4 per ordinary share, with a final dividend proposal of €1.84 per share.

Exceeded Revenue Guidance

Fourth quarter 2024 net sales were €9.3 billion, above the high end of guidance, driven by installed base revenue and High NA EUV system sales.

Strong Gross Margin

Gross margin for Q4 2024 was 51.7%, surpassing guidance due to lower than planned costs for new product introductions.

Record Free Cash Flow

Q4 2024 free cash flow reached €8.839 billion, significantly higher than the previous quarter.

High NA EUV Progress

Successfully completed installation and customer acceptance of two High NA EUV systems, with positive feedback from customers.

Optimistic 2025 Outlook

ASML expects 2025 revenue between €30 billion and €35 billion, driven by strong AI demand and potential growth in Logic and Memory segments.
