CEO statement and outlook
"ASML reported another record year in 2025, with total net sales of €32.7 billion and a gross margin of 52.8%. The fourth quarter was particularly strong: we reported record total net sales of €9.7 billion, including the revenue recognized for two High NA systems. Our gross margin for Q4 was in line with our guidance at 52.2%.
"In the last months, many of our customers have shared a notably more positive assessment of the medium-term market situation, primarily based on more robust expectations of the sustainability of AI-related demand. This is reflected in a marked step-up in their medium-term capacity plans and in our record order intake.
"Therefore, we expect 2026 to be another growth year for ASML's business, largely driven by a significant increase in EUV sales and growth in our installed base business sales1. We continue to invest in people and footprint to support that growth in 2026 and beyond.
"We expect first-quarter 2026 total net sales between €8.2 billion and €8.9 billion, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%. We expect R&D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&A costs of around €0.3 billion. For the full year 2026, we expect total net sales to be between €34 billion and €39 billion, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%," said ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Fouquet.
Update dividend and share buyback program
ASML intends to declare a total dividend for the year 2025 of €7.50 per ordinary share, which is a 17% increase compared to 2024. An interim dividend of €1.60 per ordinary share will be made payable on February 18, 2026. Recognizing this interim dividend and the two interim dividends of €1.60 per ordinary share paid in 2025, this leads to a final dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting of €2.70 per ordinary share.
In the fourth quarter, we purchased around €1.7 billion worth of shares under the 2022–2025 share buyback program. This program finished in December 2025, having repurchased a total of €7.6 billion out of the up to €12 billion program.
ASML announces a new share buyback program, effective today and to be executed by December 31, 2028. We intend to repurchase shares of an amount up to €12 billion, of which we expect a total of up to 2 million shares will be used to cover employee share plans. We intend to cancel the remainder of the shares repurchased.
The share buyback program will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the AGM on April 23, 2025, and of the authority to be granted by future AGMs. The share buyback program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time.
Details of the share buyback program as well as transactions pursuant thereto, and details of the dividend are published on ASML's website.
Strengthening our focus on engineering and innovation
The semiconductor ecosystem is poised to experience significant growth in the coming years, and ASML is well positioned to leverage this positive development. To prepare for future opportunities, ASML intends to strengthen its focus on engineering and innovation in critical areas of the company through the streamlining of the Technology and the IT organizations. Employees and employee representatives are being informed of the proposed changes, and further details will be made available today on www.asml.com at 08:30 CET.
