The accompanying Summary Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in millions of euros unless indicated otherwise. The accompanying Summary Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
For further details on our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as recorded in our 2018 Integrated Report based on US GAAP which is available on www.asml.com.

2 | Numbers have been rounded for readers' convenience. |

3 | The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share assumes the exercise of options issued under ASML stock option plans and the issuance of shares under ASML share plans for periods in which exercises or issuances would have a dilutive effect. The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not assume exercise of such options when such exercises would be anti-dilutive. |
