CEO Christophe Fouquet’s Commentary:

  • “Our fourth-quarter was a record in terms of revenue, driven by additional upgrades and first revenue recognition of two High NA EUV systems. 2024 overall was another record year, with total net sales of €28.3 billion and gross margin of 51.3%.


Looking ahead, we see Q1 ’25 net sales in the range of €7.5 billion to €8.0 billion, gross margin between 52% and 53%, and full-year sales of €30 billion to €35 billion. AI remains a key growth driver for our industry, though it creates shifting market dynamics among our customers. We’re confident our lithography leadership will continue to serve as a critical enabler for advanced semiconductor roadmaps.”
