The company Q3 2019 sales of around €3 billion and a gross margin between 43% and 44%
“Our second-quarter sales came in within guidance and the gross margin came in above guidance, helped by improved EUV manufacturing results and higher field upgrade sales, which more than compensates the negative mix effect in comparison with Q1,” said CEO Peter Wennink.
”For the remainder of the year we see further weakness in Memory, while Logic looks stronger,” added Wennink, “we expect that the increased demand in Logic will compensate for the decreased demand in Memory. The additional growth in Logic is driven by accelerated investments in 7 nm nodes and beyond.”
“We received ten orders for EUV systems during the second quarter, some of which are slated for use in the production of DRAM devices,” said Wennink, “our 2019 total sales view remains unchanged and we continue to see 2019 as a growth year.”
For EUV, on the NXE:3400C, ASML recently demonstrated >170 wafers per hour as well as >2,000 wafers per day under customer memory production conditions.
