ASML Holding NV Analyst Notes  
On April 16, 2014, ASML Holding NV (ASML) reported its Q1 2014 results with net sales of €1.4 billion, down 2.2% QoQ. Q1 2014 net income was €249.0 million or €0.57 per basic share, compared to €481.0 million or €1.09 per basic share in Q4 2013. "We are pleased to report that our first-quarter sales came in as expected, largely driven by memory customers. Our gross margin was better than expected because of a favorable product mix compared with what we had forecasted and the contribution of our Holistic Lithography products. Sales in the second quarter are however expected to be affected by adjustments of system demand from some logic customers. This means first-half 2014 sales will be around €3 billion including sales from Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) systems, versus earlier guidance of around €3 billion which excluded EUV," said Peter Wennink, President and CEO of ASML.
