On April 21, local time, ASML released its Q1 quarterly financial report. The revenue for the quarter was 4.364 billion euros, an increase of 79% year-on-year, and the same period last year was 2.441 billion euros; net profit was 1.331 billion euros, an increase of 240% year-on-year. In the same period, it was 391 million euros.

Peter Winner, ASML President and CEO, said: "Our sales and gross margin in the first quarter exceeded expectations. In fact, the increase in sales and gross margin was mainly due to the increase in cumulative installed management sales."

In the Q1 quarter, ASML's lithography machine orders were still growing, with net orders reaching 4.74 billion euros, of which EUV lithography machines accounted for 2.29 billion euros.

Although ASM has not announced how many new EUV lithography machines have been ordered, at a unit price of 100 million euros, at least 20 EUV lithography machines have been ordered this season. The main customers are TSMC, Samsung and Intel.

ASML expects net sales in the second quarter of 2021 to be between 4 billion euros and 4.1 billion euros, with a gross profit margin of approximately 49%.

As for 2021, ASML CEO said, "Compared with three months ago, we found that the demand for all market segments and product portfolios has increased significantly, and it is expected that revenue in 2021 will achieve a 30% growth."
