Q1 2009 outlook ASML expects net sales between € 180 - 200 million Gross margin expected at about 8% reflecting very low coverage of fixed costs R&D is expected at € 117 million net of credit SG&A is expected to decrease to € 44 million Breakeven point after restructuring is approx. € 450 million / Slide 29 |
Summary No IC production capacity added due to virtual capex freeze Semiconductor equipment market pickup currently impossible to predict ASML can ramp production fast with short lead times when market recovers ASML continues to invest in strategic product development programs Working capital releases and adjusted cost structure will allow ASML to generate a positive operating cash flow at low sales levels anticipated in Q1 Improved cost structure will make ASML leaner resulting in earlier and greater profitability / Slide 30 |
Outlook The severity of the global economic downturn has caused semiconductor manufacturers to delay their investment plans. The uncertainty as to the timing of a semiconductor end-product demand pick up and the time needed to complete the current consolidation and restructuring activities in the memory sector, makes a semiconductor equipment market pick-up prediction impossible. We have therefore taken decisive actions to adjust our cost structure to cope with these exceptional economic circumstances so we can generate cash at a low level of sales, while not impacting our current aggressive technology development roadmap. In addition, we plan to maintain a level of manufacturing capacity to ramp production to customer needs without lengthy lead times, as the lithography market may pick up quickly once end-product demand recovers. ASML expects Q1 2009 net sales between EUR 180 million to EUR 200 million, and gross margin in Q1 2009 of about 8 percent. R&D expenditures are expected to be at EUR 117 million net of credits and SG&A costs are expected at EUR 44 million. ASML will submit a proposal to the 2009 General Meeting of Shareholders to declare a dividend of EUR 0.20 per share (approximately EUR 86 million), compared with a dividend of EUR 0.25 per share paid in 2008. ASML has reduced costs through a comprehensive company-wide efficiency program, while not impacting key research and development projects. We have been able to react quickly by using the flexibility of our business model, including significant use of contract and flexible labor. ASML still has an extensive pool of flexible contracts and we intend to avoid forced redundancies. By Q1 2009 we expect to have cut our operational expenses by EUR 50 million per quarter. We expect that these savings, in combination with reduced components purchasing and the assembly of components already in inventory, will help us generate a positive Q1 operating cash flow. Also, about half of our quarterly cost savings will be sustainable when the economy recovers, making ASML a much leaner and more profitable company. We will continue investing in our new Double Patterning and EUV lithography platforms to address the 32 nanometer node and beyond, in order to lead the semiconductor industry to the next generations of chip manufacturing technologies. Our EUV production system roadmap supports cost-effective chip manufacturing to 22 nanometers and smaller; we will start deliveries of five production systems already in 2010. In addition, ASML has developed a range of resolution enhancement techniques which leading vendors are implementing to reduce cost per chip. These techniques, from advanced illumination shaping to radical mask pattern enhancements, require powerful computational modeling and intimate knowledge of the scanner systems. This is a unique combination of capabilities in which ASML has established a leading role thanks to the know-how acquired through our Brion division. / Slide 31 |
