- General information / summary of general accounting policies
ASML is a leading supplier to the semiconductor industry. We provide chipmakers with hardware, software and
services to mass produce the patterns of integrated circuits (microchips). Together with our partners, we drive the
advancement of more affordable, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips. We enable groundbreaking
technology to solve some of humanity’s toughest challenges in healthcare, energy use and conservation, mobility
and agriculture. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, we are
a global team of more than 44,000 full-time employees (FTEs). Our principal operations are in EMEA, North America
and Asia.
Our shares are listed for trading in the form of registered shares on Euronext Amsterdam and Nasdaq. The principal
trading market of our ordinary shares is Euronext Amsterdam.
Basis of preparation
The accompanying Consolidated financial statements are stated inmillionsof euros unless indicated otherwise.
The accompanying Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP.
Use of estimates
The preparation ofour Consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires managementto
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities on thebalance sheet dates, and the reported amounts of net sales and costs for the
reported periods. The inputs into our estimates and assumptions consider economic implications including supply
chain constraints, inflation and uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. We believe that the critical
accounting estimates and assumptions are appropriate. ASML will continue to monitor the impacts of economic
implications and incorporate them into accounting estimates. We evaluate our estimates on a regular basis and we
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates if the assumptions prove incorrect. To the
extent there are material differences between actual results and these estimates, our future results could be
materially and adversely affected.
We believe that the accounting policies described below require us to make significant judgments and estimates in
the preparation of our Consolidated financial statements. Our most critical accounting estimates relate torevenue
recognition (see Note 2 Revenue from contracts with customers). Although still considered an accounting estimate,
the recoverability of deferred tax assets for capitalized R&Dcosts is no longer considered a critical accounting
estimate. This is as the majority of our R&D expenses at US level are no longer eligible for capitalization for tax
purposes, resulting now in the related deferred tax asset balance decreasing over time due to amortization.
Principles of consolidation
The Consolidated financial statements include the Financial statements of ASML Holding NV and all of its
subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which ASML controls the financial and operating activities, generally
accompanying a shareholding of more than 50.0% of the outstanding voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by ASML. All intercompany transactions, balances and
unrealized results on transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated. We also assess if we are the primary beneficiary
of, and thus should consolidate, any variable interest entity (VIE).
Foreign currency translation
The financial information for subsidiaries with a functional currency outside the Eurozone is measured using a mix of
local currencies or the euro as the functional currency. The Financial statements of those foreign subsidiaries with a
functional currency different than the euro are translated into euros in the preparation of ASML’s Consolidated
financial statements. Assets and liabilities are translated into euros at the exchange rate on the respective balance
sheet dates, and income and costs are translated into euros based on the average exchange rate for the
corresponding period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity.
New US GAAP accounting pronouncements adopted
During 2024, there were no new US GAAP accounting pronounce ments that were adopted which have a material
impact on our Consolidated financial statements.
New US GAAP accounting pronouncements issued but not adopted
For 2024, there are no new US GAAP accounting pronouncements issued which have not yet been adopted and are
expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated financial statements.

- Revenue from contracts with customers
We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in the contracts with our customers, adjusted for any
significant financing components, and excluding any taxes collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue
when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a good or service to our customer. We bill our
customers for, and recognize as revenue, charges for shipping and handling costs.
Depending on the contract, we generally obtain a right to payment for our systems through a reservation of a
production slot and/or upon delivery of our systems, with the remaining portion upon final acceptance of our
systems. Right to payment for our service and field options occurs upon delivery or completion of the service unless
described otherwise. The payment is typically due 15–45 days after the aforementioned events. Our contracts
typically include cancellation penalties that provide economic protection from the risk of customer cancellation. The
costs related to our sales are recognized as cost of sales.
We generate revenue from the sale of integrated patterning solutions for the semiconductor industry, which mainly
consist of systems, system-related options and upgrades, other holistic lithography solutions and customer services.
The main portion of our net sales is derived from volume purchase agreements with our customers that have multiple
performance obligations, which mainly include the sales of our systems, system-related options, installation, training,
and extended and enhanced warranties. In our volume purchase agreements we offer customers discounts in the
normal course of sales negotiations. As part of these volume purchase agreements, we may also offer free goods or
services and credits that can be used toward future purchases. Occasionally, systems, with the related extended and
enhanced warranties, installation and training services, are ordered individually. Our sales agreements do not include
a right of return for any reason other than not meeting the agreed-upon specifications.
We account for individual goods and services as separate and distinct performance obligations, including the free or
discounted goods or services, if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items and if a customer can
benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Options to buy goods or
services in addition to the purchase commitment are assessed to determine if they provide a material right to the
customer that they would not have received if they had not entered into this contract. Each option to buy additional
goods or services provided at a discount from the standalone selling price is considered a material right, for which
the likelihood that the option will be exercised is evaluated based on the customer roadmap and their requirements.
The consideration paid for our performance obligations is typically fixed. However, most of our volume purchase
agreements with customers contain some component of variable consideration, typically dependent on the final
volume of systems ordered by the customer or the system performance. Variable consideration is estimated at
contract inception for each performance obligation based on communication with the customer to understand their
requirements and roadmap. This is subsequently updated each quarter, using either the expected value method or
the most likely amount method, whichever is determined to best predict the consideration to be collected from the
customer. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price if it is considered probable that a significant
revenue reversal will not occur.
In certain scenarios when entering into a volume purchase agreement, free goods or services are provided directly or
through a voucher that can be used on future contracts. Consideration from the contract will be allocated to these
performance obligations and revenue recognized when control transfers based on the nature of the goods or
services provided.
As a practical expedient, we do not record a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception,
that the period between the transfer of the products or services to the customer and customer payment for the
products or services will be one year or less. In addition, most of our contracts require our customers to pay a down
payment on systems to be shipped. We do not record a significant financing component for down payments, as the
timing difference between when the consideration is paid and when the system is transferred to the customer arises
from reasons other than financing.
The total consideration of the contract is allocated between all distinct performance obligations in the contract
based on their standalone selling prices. The standalone selling prices are determined based on other standalone
sales that are directly observable, when possible. However, for the majority of our performance obligations these are
not available. If no directly observable evidence is available, the standalone selling price is determined using the
adjusted market assessment approach, which requires judgment and is based on multiple factors including, but not
limited to, historical pricing practices and discounting trends for products and services.
For options to buy goods or services that are considered a material right, the discount offered from the standalone
selling price will be allocated from the consideration of the other goods and services in the contract if it is
determined the customer will exercise the option to buy, adjusted for the likelihood. Revenue will be recognized in
line with the nature ofthe related goods or services. If it is subsequently determined that the customer will not
exercise the option to buy, or the option expires, revenue will be recognized.
Occasionally we enter into bill-and-hold transactions, where we invoice a customer for a system that is ready for
delivery but not shipped to the customer until a later date, based on the customer’s request. Transfer of control is
determined to have occurred only when there is a substantive reason for the arrangement, the system is separately
identified as belonging to the customer, the good has been accepted by the customer and is ready for delivery, and
we do not have the ability to direct the use of the system.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
We generate revenue from lessor agreements, which we classify as asales-type lease when the lease meets any of
the following criteria at lease commencement:
The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset, that the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise;
The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. However, if the
commencement date falls at or near the end of the economic life of the underlying asset, this criterion shall not be
used for the purposes of classifying the lease;
The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not
already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset;
or
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at
the end of the lease term.
Forsales-type leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are transferred
to the lessee, revenue is recognized at commencement of the lease. If material, the difference between the gross
finance receivable and the present value of the minimum lease payments is initially recognized as unearned interest
and presented as a deduction to the gross finance receivable. Interest income is recognized in the Consolidated
statements of operations over the term of the lease contract using the effective interest method.
Leases that are not asales-type lease are operating lease arrangements. If we have offered the customer an
operating lease arrangement, the system is included in Property, plant and equipment upon commencement of the
lease. Revenue from operating lease arrangements is recognized in the Consolidated statements of operations on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract.
| Goods or services | Nature, timing of satisfying the performance obligations and significant payment terms | |
|---|---|---|
| New systems | New systems sales include i-line, KrF, ArF dry, ArF immersion, NXE and EXE-related systems, along with the related factory options ordered with the base system, as well as metrology and inspection systems. | |
| Prior to shipment, the majority of our systems undergo a factory acceptance test (FAT) in our cleanroom facilities, effectively replicating the operating conditions that will be present on the customer’s site, in order to verify whether the system meets its standard specifications and any additional technical and performance criteria agreed with the customer. | ||
| A system undergoing FAT is shipped only after all contractual specifications are met or discrepancies from agreed-upon specifications are waived and customer sign-off is received for delivery. Each system’s performance is re-tested through a site acceptance test (SAT) after installation at the customer site. We have never failed to successfully complete installation of a system at a customer’s premises; therefore, acceptance at FAT is considered to be proven for established technologies with a history of successful customer acceptances at SAT (equal or better than FAT). | ||
| Transfer of control and recognition of revenue of a system undergoing a FAT, and for which customer acceptance at FAT is proven, will occur upon delivery of the system. | ||
| Transfer of control and recognition of revenue of a system not undergoing a FAT, or for which customer acceptance at FAT is not proven, will occur after successful installation upon customer acceptance of the system at SAT. | ||
| New system sales do not meet the requirements for over time revenue recognition because our customers do not simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by our performance, or control the asset throughout any stage of our production process, or the systems are considered to have alternative use. | ||
| Used systems | We have no repurchase commitments in our general sales terms and conditions; however, we occasionally repurchase systems that we previously manufactured and sold, in order to refurbish and resell the system to a different customer. This repurchase decision is mainly driven by market demand expressed by other customers. | |
| Transfer of control of a used system, and recognition of revenue, follow the same logic as for our ‘New systems’. |
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
| Goods or services | Nature, timing of satisfying the performance obligations and significant payment terms | |
|---|---|---|
| Field upgrades and options (system enhancements) | Field upgrades and options mainly relate to goods and services that are delivered for systems already installed in the customer factories. Certain upgrades require significant installation efforts, enhancing an asset the customer controls, and therefore resulting in transfer of control over the period of installation. The method of measuring progress is based on what best depicts the satisfaction of our obligation in transferring control. This is generally based on either the cost incurred method, which is estimated using labor hours, or the value transferred method, which is estimated using system performance measurements. For the options and other upgrades for which the customer receives and consumes the benefit at the moment of delivery, the transfer of control and recognition of revenue will occur upon delivery. | |
| As long as we are not able to make a reliable estimate of the total efforts needed to complete the upgrade, we only recognize revenue to cover costs incurred. Margin will be realized at the earlier of us being able to make a reliable estimate or completion of the upgrade. | ||
| New product introduction | If the installation of new products is determined not to be a separate performance obligation or if there is not a sufficient established history of acceptance on FAT, a new product is considered to be a “new product introduction". | |
| Transfer of control and revenue recognition for new product introductions occurs after successful installation and customer acceptance at SAT. Once there is an established history of successful installation and customer acceptance, revenue will be recognized consistent with other systems and goods after transfer of control. | ||
| Installation | Installation is provided within the selling price of a system. Installation is considered to be distinct if it does not significantly modify the system being purchased and the customer or a third party could be capable of performing the installation themselves, if desired. Transfer of control takes place over the period of installation from delivery through SAT, measured on a straight-line basis, as our performance is satisfied evenly over this period of time. Installation is not considered to be distinct when recognition of revenue related to a system occurs upon customer acceptance of the system at SAT after installation is complete. | |
| Warranties | We provide standard warranty coverage on our systems for 12 months, providing labor and non-consumable parts necessary to repair our systems during these warranty periods. These standard warranties cannot be purchased and do not provide a service in addition to the general assurance the system will perform as promised. As a result, no revenue is allocated to these standard warranties. | |
| Both the extended and enhanced warranties on our systems are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, with transfer of control taking place over the warranty period, measured on a straight-line basis, as this is a stand-ready obligation. |
| Goods or services | Nature, timing of satisfying the performance obligations and significant payment terms | |
|---|---|---|
| Time-based licenses and related services | Time-based licenses relate to software licenses and the related services which are sold for a period of time. The licenses and the related services are not considered to be individually distinct, as the support services are integral to the customer’s ability to continue to use the software license in the rapidly changing technological environment. The transfer of control takes place over the license term, measured on a straight-line basis, as our performance is satisfied evenly over this period of time. Payments are generally made in installments throughout the license term. | |
| Application projects | Application projects are node transition and consulting projects which at times may be provided as free service within a volume purchase agreement. Measuring satisfaction of this performance obligation is performed through an input method based on the labor hours expended relative to the estimated total labor hours, as this best depicts the transfer of control of these kind of services. | |
| Service contracts | Service contracts are entered into with our customers to support our systems used in their ongoing operations during the systems life cycle, typically in the form of full-service agreements, limited manpower agreements, other labor agreements, parts availability or parts usage agreements. These services are for a specified period of time and typically have a fixed price. Control transfers over this period of time, measured on a straight-line basis, as these are stand-ready obligations. For service contracts where the price is not fixed, the transaction price has a variable component that is based on the performance of the system. | |
| Billable parts and labor | Billable labor represents maintenance services to our systems installed in the customer’s factories while in operation, through purchase orders from our customer. Control over these services is transferred to the customer upon receipt of customer sign-off. | |
| Billable parts represent spare parts including optical components relating to our systems installed in the customer’s factories while in operation, through purchase orders from our customer. | ||
| Billable parts can be: | ||
| •Sold as direct spare parts, for which control transfers point in time upon delivery; or | ||
| •Sold as part of maintenance services, where control transfers point in time upon receipt of customer sign-off. | ||
| Field projects (relocations) | Field projects represent mainly relocation services. Measuring satisfaction of this performance obligation is performed through an input method based on the labor hours expended relative to the estimated total labor hours, as this best depicts the transfer of control of our service. | |
| OnPulse maintenance | OnPulse maintenance services are provided over a specified period of time on our light source systems. Payment is determined by the number of pulses counted from each light source system, which is variable. Invoicing is monthly based on the pulses counted. Revenue is recognized in line with invoicing using the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18. |

Disaggregation of revenue
Our revenue from contracts with customers, on a disaggregated basis, aligns with our reportable segment
disclosures with the addition of disaggregation of net system sales per technology and per end-use.
Netsystem sales per technology were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| in units | in € millions | in units | in € millions | in units | in € millions | |

| Total | 561 | 15,430.3 | 600 | 21,938.6 | 583 | 21,768.7 |
Net system sales per end-use were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| in units | in € millions | in units | in € millions | in units | in € millions | |
| Logic | 357 | 9,977.6 | 439 | 15,984.7 | 399 | 13,195.1 |
| Memory | 204 | 5,452.7 | 161 | 5,953.9 | 184 | 8,573.6 |
| Total | 561 | 15,430.3 | 600 | 21,938.6 | 583 | 21,768.7 |
Contract assets and liabilities
The contract assets relate to our right to a consideration in exchange for goods or services delivered, when that
right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The contract assets are transferred to the
receivables when the receivables become unconditional. The contract liabilities primarily relate to remaining
performance obligations for which consideration has been received for goods and services not yet recognized in
revenue, aswell as deferred revenue from goods and services delivered, based on the allocation of the
consideration to the related performance obligations in the contract.
The majority of our customer contracts result in both asset and liability positions. At the end of each reporting
period, these positions are netted on a contract basis and presented as either an asset or a liability in the
Consolidated balance sheets. Consequently, a contract balance can change between periods from a net contract
asset balance to a net contract liability balance in the balance sheet, and vice versa.
Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the periods are as follows.
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract assets | Contract liabilities | Contract assets | Contract liabilities | |
| Balance at beginning of the year | 131.9 | 17,750.9 | 240.1 | 16,266.5 |
| Transferred from contract assets to accounts receivables | (402.0) | — | (213.2) | — |
| Revenue recognized during the year ending in contract assets | 135.1 | — | 275.9 | — |
| Revenue recognized that was included in contract liabilities | — | (11,106.1) | — | (9,047.5) |
| Changes as a result of cumulative catch-up adjustments arising from changes in estimates | — | (24.9) | — | (61.3) |
| Remaining performance obligations for which considerations have been received, or for which we have an unconditional right to consideration | — | 9,416.3 | — | 11,483.4 |
| Transfer between contract assets and liabilities | 375.1 | 375.1 | 17.8 | 17.8 |
| Other | — | (144.8) | — | (462.7) |
| Total | 240.1 | 16,266.5 | 320.6 | 18,196.2 |
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
Theincrease in the net contract liabilities to€17.9 billion as of December 31, 2024, compared to€16.0 billion as of
December 31, 2023, is mainly driven by systems shipped for which revenue has not yet been recognized, as well as
an increase in payments for goods and services which will be delivered in the future. Cumulative catch-up
adjustments recognized in our current year’s revenue are due to updated estimates for system volume, discounts
and credits included in our volume purchase agreements. The increase in “Other”, compared to 2023, is mainly due
to an increase of down payments reclassified to refund liabilities. Refund liabilities are presented as accrued and
other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets.
Remaining performance obligations
Our customers generally commit to purchase systems, service or field options through separate sales orders and
service contracts. Typically the terms and conditions of these sales orders come from volume purchase agreements
with our customers which cover up tofive years. The revenues for each committed performance obligation are
estimated based on the terms and conditions agreed through the volume purchase agreements.
When revenues will be recognized is mainly dependent on when systems are delivered or installed, as well as when
service projects and field upgrades are performed and completed. All of which is estimated based on contract terms
and communication with our customers, including the customer facility readiness to take delivery of our goods or
services, as well as applicable export control restrictions. The volume purchase agreements may be subject to
modifications or changes in estimates, impacting the amount and timing of revenue recognition for the anticipated
revenues.
As of December 31, 2024, the remaining performance obligations amount to €43.3 billion (December 31, 2023:
€45.0 billion). The remaining performance obligations mainly include orders related to DUV immersion, NXE and EXE
lithography systems. We estimate that 59% (December 31, 2023:57%) of these anticipated revenues will be
recognized during the next 12 months.
- Segment disclosure
ASML has one reportable segment, since we are a holistic lithography solution provider, for the development,
production, marketing, sales, upgrading and servicing of advanced semiconductor equipment systems, consisting
of lithography, metrology and inspection systems. The Chief Operating Decision Maker regularly sets and monitors
goals and boundaries on a consolidated basis to make decisions about resource allocation and assess
performance. ASML's Chief Operating Decision Maker is the combination of the functions of the CEO and CFO.
Management reporting includes net system sales figures of new and used systems, sales per technology and sales
per end-use. For sales per technology and end-use, see Note 2 Revenue from contracts with customers. The Chief
Operating Decision Maker predominantly uses consolidated net income and sales to evaluate income generated
from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or invest in other activities, such as
share buybacks or payments of dividends. Consolidated net income and sales are used to monitor budget versus
actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment.
All significant segment expenses are presented in the Consolidated statements of operations and are regularly
reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Net system sales for new and used systems were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| New systems | 15,152.3 | 21,622.4 | 21,139.7 |
| Used systems | 278.0 | 316.2 | 629.0 |
| Net system sales | 15,430.3 | 21,938.6 | 21,768.7 |
For geographical reporting, total net sales are attributed to the geographic location in which the customers’ facilities
are located. Long-lived assetsare attributed to the geographic location in which these assets are located. Total net
sales and long-lived assetsby geographic region were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) · 2022 · 2023 · 2024 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total net sales · Long-lived assets · Total net sales · Long-lived assets · Total net sales · Long-lived assets | ||||||

In 2024, four customers exceeded more than 10% of total net sales, totaling€15.2 billion, or 53.8%, of total net
sales. In 2023 and 2022, two customers exceeded more than 10% of total net sales, in 2023 totaling€14.9 billion, or
53.9% (2022:€11.8 billion, or 55.8%). Ourthree largest customers (based on total net sales) accounted for€2.6
billion, or 54.1%, of accounts receivable and finance receivables at December 31, 2024, compared with€3.7 billion,
or 64.4%, at December 31, 2023 and€5.3 billion, or 78.6%, at December 31, 2022.
Theincrease in total net sales of€0.7 billion, or 2.6%, to€28.3 billion in 2024, from€27.6 billion in 2023 is mainly
driven by the first EXE systems being successfully installed in the field, increased DUV immersion system shipments
and higher net service and field option sales. This was partially offset by lower NXE sales due to fewer NXE capacity
additions by our customers.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
The increase in net service and field option sales is mainly driven by higher service sales, which has benefited from
a growing installed base and higher lithography tool utilization levels at certain customers.
The Logic sector experienced a slower ramp of new nodes at some customers, leading to multiple fab push-outs
and changes in the timing of demand. The Memory sector was stronger in 2024 due to technology transitions
driven by artificial intelligence (AI)-related Memory demand. China saw the largest absolute geographic sales
growth in support of expanding capacity to meet worldwide demandand was able tocatch up on the backlog of
orders that were previously unfulfilled due to supply constraints.
The increase in long-lived assetsin the Netherlands during 2024 is primarily related to the construction of factory
and research facility expansions and office space at our headquarters in Veldhoven, in order to support our
continued growth. In the US the increase is primarily related to the expansion of the Wilton factory site.
- Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments, such as bank deposits, deposits with
governments and government-related bodies, money market funds and bank accounts readily convertible to known
amounts of cash with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities to the entity holding the investments for
three months or less at the date of acquisition.
Investments with original maturities at the date of acquisition greater than three months andone year or less are
presented as short-term investments. Fair value changes in these investments, which are not temporary, are
recognized in the Consolidated statements of operations. Short-term investments have insignificant interest rate risk.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of the following:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits with financial institutions, governments and government-related bodies | 1,348.7 | 4,850.4 |
| Investments in money market funds | 3,167.4 | 6,379.2 |
| Bank accounts | 2,488.6 | 1,506.3 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 7,004.7 | 12,735.9 |
| Deposits with financial institutions, governments and government-related bodies | 5.4 | 5.4 |
| Short-term investments | 5.4 | 5.4 |
Cash and cash equivalents mainly increased due to net cash provided by operating activities, driven by net income
and down payments. This increase is partly offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of
treasury shares, loans issued and dividend paid.
Deposits with financial institutions, governments and government-related bodies and investments in money market
funds have an investment-grade credit rating as rated by credit rating institutions such as Standard & Poor's,
Moody’s or Fitch. Our cash and cash equivalents are predominantly denominated in euros and to some extent in US
dollars, Taiwanese dollars, South Korean won and Chinese yuan.
The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value.
As of December 31, 2024, no restrictions on usage of cash and cash equivalents exist (2023: no restrictions).
- Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, less
allowance for credit losses, if material. The carrying amount of the accounts receivable approximates the fair value.
We perform ongoing credit evaluations on our customers’ financial condition. We periodically review whether an
allowance for credit losses is needed by considering factors such as historical payment experience, credit quality,
aging of the accounts receivable balances, expected lifetime losses and current economic conditions that may affect
a customer’s ability to pay.
When entering into arrangements to sell our receivable, we derecognize the receivable only when meeting the
derecognition criteria. The criteria require isolation from the seller, granting the buyer the right to pledge or exchange
the receivables, and legal transfer ofcontrol over the receivable.
Accounts receivable consist of the following:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable, gross | 4,334.1 | 4,477.5 |
| Allowance for credit losses | — | — |
| Accounts receivable, net | 4,334.1 | 4,477.5 |
Theincrease in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, ismainly due to
the timing of cash receipts from our customers, which is partially offset by increased factoring of receivables.
In 2024,€2,042.7 million of receivables were sold through factoring arrangements(2023:€993.4 million). The
amounts consist of€1,639.9 million (2023:€245.8 million) of regular trade receivables and€402.8 million (2023:
€747.6 million) of absolute, unconditional, irrevocable accounts receivable for down payments on systems to be
shipped in 2025 and thereafter. These receivables have been derecognized, since the assets were isolated from the
seller, control was transferred to the buyer and there were no restrictions on the buyer related to the factored items.
The fair value of the receivables sold was substantially the same as their carrying value. The cash receipt is treated
as an operating cash flow within the Consolidated statements of cash flows.

- Finance receivables, net
Finance receivables consist of receivables in relation tosales-type leases. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of
our customers’ financial condition. We periodically review whether an allowance for credit losses is needed by
considering factors such as historical payment experience, credit quality, the aging of the finance receivables
balances, expected lifetime losses and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.
The following table lists the components of the finance receivables as of December 31,2024 and 2023:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Finance receivables, gross | 1,439.8 | 399.8 |
| Unearned interest | — | — |
| Finance receivables, net | 1,439.8 | 399.8 |
| Current portion of finance receivables, gross | 1,379.2 | 82.6 |
| Current portion of unearned interest | — | — |
| Non-current portion of finance receivables, net | 60.6 | 317.2 |
Thedecrease in finance receivables as of December 31,2024, compared to December 31, 2023, is the result of
systems being purchased at the end of their free-use or evaluation periods, partially offset by additional systems
shipped with a free-use or evaluation period. These sales-type leases support the capacity ramp-up of high-end
systems which are part of the early-insertion life cycle of the technology or system type. It is expected that these
systems will be purchased at the end of the free-use or evaluation period.
Gross profit recognized at the commencement date of the lease for oursales-type leases amounted to€114.3
million during 2024 (2023:€460.9 million;2022:€429.1 million).
At December 31,2024, payments of the finance receivables in the next five years and thereafter are:
| (€, in millions) | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 82.6 |
| 2026 | 317.2 |
| 2027 | — |
| 2028 | — |
| 2029 | — |
| Thereafter | — |
| Finance receivables, gross | 399.8 |
In 2024,2023 and 2022 we did not record any expected credit losses from finance receivables. As of December 31,
2024, the finance receivables were neither past due nor impaired.
- Inventories, net
Inventory costs are computed on a first-in, first-out basis. Our inventory values comprise purchased materials, freight
expenses, customs, duties, production labor and overhead. The valuation of inventory includes determining which
fixed production overhead costs should be capitalized into inventory based on the normal capacity of our
manufacturing and assembly facilities. During periods when production is below our established normal capacity
level, some of our fixed overhead costs are not included in the cost of inventory; instead, they are recognized as cost
of sales as incurred.
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, based on assumptions about future demand and
market conditions. Valuation of inventory also requires us to establish provisions for inventory that is defective,
obsolete or in excess. We use our demand forecast to develop manufacturing plans and utilize this information to
compare against raw materials and work-in-progress and finished product levels to determine the amount of
defective, obsolete or excess inventory.
Inventories consist of the following:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | 4,057.3 | 4,911.2 |
| Work-in-process | 3,388.1 | 4,872.3 |
| Finished products | 2,098.5 | 2,019.5 |
| Inventories, gross | 9,543.9 | 11,803.0 |
| Inventory reserves | (693.2) | (911.5) |
| Inventories, net | 8,850.7 | 10,891.5 |
Theincrease in inventory in 2024, compared to 2023, is mainly driven by theintroduction of EXE. Additionally,
inventory increased in 2024 due to higher costs and longer cycle times of our latest technologies and growing install
base.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
A summary of movements in the inventory reserves is as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of year | (466.9) | (693.2) |
| Additions for the year | (485.3) | (554.7) |
| Effect of changes in exchange rates | 2.4 | (1.7) |
| Utilization of the reserve | 256.6 | 338.1 |
| Balance at end of year | (693.2) | (911.5) |
The additions for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are recorded in cost of sales. The additions for the year mainly relate to
inventory items which became obsolete due to technological developments and design changes.
- Other assets
Other current and non-current assets consist of the following:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Advance payments to Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH1 | 691.9 | 815.8 |

- Equity method investments
Equity investments which we are able to exercise significant influence over but do not control, are accounted for
using the equity method and presented on our Consolidated balance sheets within Equity method investments. The
difference between the cost of our investment and our proportionate share in the carrying value of the investee’s
underlying net assets as of the acquisition date is the basis difference. The basis difference is allocated to the
identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair value as of the acquisition date (i.e. the date on which we obtain
significant influence), with the excess costs of the investment over our proportional fair value of the identifiable
assets and liabilities being equity method goodwill.
We amortize the basis difference related to the other intangible assets over the estimated remaining useful lives of
these assets that gave rise to this difference. The remaining weighted-average life of the finite-lived intangible assets
acquired is 12.1 years and is amortized using a straight-line method. In-process R&D is initially capitalized at fair
value as anintangible asset with an indefinite life. When the R&D project is complete, it is reclassified as an
amortizable purchased intangible asset and is amortized over its estimated useful life. If the project is abandoned, we
will record the full basis difference charge for the value of the related intangible asset in our Consolidated statements
of operations in the period of abandonment. Equity method goodwill is not amortized or tested for impairment;
instead the equity method investment is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.
Under the equity method, after initial recognition at cost, our Equity method investments are adjusted for our
proportionate share in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee, recognized on a one-
quarter time lag to allow for the timely preparation of financial information and presented within Profit from equity
method investments. Our proportionate share in the profit or loss of the investee is adjusted for any differences in
accounting principles and policies, basis difference adjustments and intra-entity profits. Receipt of dividends
reduces our Equity method investments, which is presented as an operating cash flow based on the nature of the
distributions.
Equity method investments consists of a 24.9% equity interest acquired on June 29, 2017, in Carl Zeiss SMT
Holding GmbH & Co. KG, a limited partnership that owns Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH, our single supplier of optical
columns.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded aprofit from Equity method investments of€209.8 million
(2023:€191.3 million) in our Consolidated statements of operations. This profit includes the following components:
Profit of€216.4 million (2023:€212.1 million)related to our share of Carl Zeiss SMT Holding GmbH & Co. KG’s net
income after accounting policy alignment
Cost due to basis difference amortization related to intangible assets of€27.4 million (2023:€26.7 million)
Cost/(Gain) due to intercompany profit elimination of€(20.8) million (2023:€(5.9) million)
In 2024, we received a dividend of€225.4 million (2023:€218.0 million) from Carl Zeiss SMT Holding GmbH
& Co. KG.
Carl Zeiss SMT Holding GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held company; therefore, quoted market prices for its stock
are not available.
- Business combinations and divestitures
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are included on the basis of the acquisition method. The cost of acquisition is measured
based on the consideration transferred at fair value, the fair value of identifiable assets distributed and the fair value
of liabilities incurred or assumed at the acquisition date (i.e. the date on which we obtain control). Goodwill is
capitalized as the excess of the costs of an acquired subsidiary, net of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities incurred or assumed. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred in the period in
which they arise or the service is received.
Business combinations
During 2023 we concluded the acquisition of EO Technical Solutions, LLC, which functions as a parts repair and
rebuild services company. In 2023, we also acquired part of the semiconductor equipment activities from Philips
Engineering Solutions. The total related goodwill of €33.0 million has been allocated to the ASML reporting unit.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
- Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the costs of an acquisition over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets
acquired and liabilities incurred or assumed of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on
acquisition of subsidiaries is allocated toreporting units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is
made to those reporting units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill
arose. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable. To determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative
goodwill impairment test, we perform a step-zero qualitative assessment annually. If we determine that it is more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit will exceed its carrying amount, we do not perform a quantitative
goodwill impairment test.
Goodwill mainly results from the acquisitions of Cymer and HMI. The balance as of December 31, 2024, is€4,588.6
million (2023:€4,588.6 million).
We have identifiedtwo reporting units: Reporting Unit ASML and Reporting Unit Cymer Light Sources. As of
December 31, 2024, the goodwill allocated to Reporting Unit ASML amounts to€4,126.3 million (2023:€4,126.3
million) and Reporting Unit Cymer Light Sources amounts to€462.3 million (2023:€462.3 million).
Based on our assessment during the annual goodwill impairment test, we believe it is more likely than not that the
fair values of the reporting units exceed their carrying amounts, and therefore goodwill was not impaired as of
December 31, 2024. The accumulated impairment as of December 31, 2024, isnil (2023: nil).
- Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets include brands, intellectual property, developed technology, customer relationships and other
intangible assets not yet available for use. These finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on
the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Finite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually, or whenever there is an indication that the
balance sheet carrying amount may not be recoverable using cash flow projections for the useful life.
The following table shows the respective useful lives for intangible assets:
| Category | Estimated useful life |
|---|---|
| Brands | 20 years |
| Intellectual property | 3–10 years |
| Developed technology | 6–15 years |
| Customer relationships | 8–18 years |
| Other | 2–10 years |
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
As of December 31, 2024, intangible assets consist mainly ofbrands, intellectual property, developed technology and customer relationships obtained from the acquisitions of HMI (2016) and Cymer (2013):

- Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Costs of assets manufactured by ASML include direct manufacturing costs, production overhead and interest costs
incurred for qualifying assets during the construction period. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a
straight-line basis in the Consolidated statements of operations over their estimated useful lives, except for land,
which is not depreciated. Government grants related to assets are recognized when the grant conditions have been
substantially met. Government grants are presented as a deduction of the carrying amount of the asset they relate to
and recognized in the Consolidated statements of operations on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
Evaluation systems leased to our customers under an operating lease are capitalized as Property, plant and
equipment at cost and depreciated over the respective lease term. Leased assets that are returned to ASML upon
expiration of the lease term are either taken back into Property, plant and equipment, as they will be used internally
by D&Eor transferred back to Inventories to be reworked and sold.
The carrying values of prototypes, tooling and equipment that are intended to be sold, but first internally utilized for
R&D purposes, are reclassified from inventories to Property, plant and equipment and depreciated while being
internally used. When no longer required for R&D activities, the assets’ carrying value is reclassified back to
Inventories and reworked to make them ready for sale to our customers. These transfers are reported as Net non-
cash movements to/from inventories in our Property, plant and equipment movement schedule.
Property, plant and equipment is assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable using cash flow projections for the useful life.
The following table shows the respective useful lives for Property, plant and equipment:
| Category | Estimated useful life |

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of land amounts to€304.3 million (2023:€229.7 million).
The addi tions in 2024 in Land and buildings, as well as Furniture, fixtures and other mainly relate to theconstruction
of factory and research facility expansions and office space at our headquarters in Veldhoven, in order to support
our continued growth.
The additions in 2024 in Machinery and equipment mainly relate to the upgrade and expansion of production tooling
to support the growth of our business, as well as investments in prototypes of new technologies.
The additions in 2024 in Leasehold improvements mainly relate to installation of cleanrooms and office space for
leased properties in both the US and Berlin.
The Consolidated statements of operations include the following depreciation charges:

- Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Leases are included in Right-of-use assets,
Accrued & other current liabilities and Accrued & other non-current liabilities in our Consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent
our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized
at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not
provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at
commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Right-of-use assets include any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by lease incentives. Our Right-of-use asset
and lease liability valuation may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we
will exercise that option. Lease expensesare recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The lease components are accounted for
separately from non-lease components. The allocation of the consideration between lease and non-lease
components is based on the relative standalone prices of lease components included in the lease contracts.
Right-of-use assets consist of the following leases:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Properties | 270.3 | 333.7 |
| Cars | 5.4 | 7.6 |
| Warehouses | 30.3 | 42.6 |
| Other | 0.6 | 3.3 |
| Right-of-use assets | 306.6 | 387.2 |
ASML owns the majority of real estate we utilize for manufacturing, supply chain management, R&Dand general
administration at our headquarters in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. Our other locations worldwide, mostly related to
customer support, are leased. The total right-of-use assets related to properties includesa new finance lease
arrangement for land of€32 million.
The right-of-use assets increased in 2024 compared to 2023 mainly due to new land and warehouse leases and
extensions of existing leases.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
Lease liabilities are split between current and non-current. The non-current portion mainly consists of properties and
warehouses and is presented as part of Accrued and other liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Lease
liabilities increased by€78.1 million, mainly due to lease extensions and new leases of properties that commenced
during 2024, of which €16.9 million relates to a finance lease.
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Current | 46.7 | 68.6 |
| Non-current | 181.2 | 237.4 |
| Lease liabilities | 227.9 | 306.0 |
The Consolidated statements of operations include the following lease expenses:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Properties | 52.3 | 40.4 | 50.2 |
| Cars | 2.7 | 5.9 | 6.1 |
| Warehouses | 4.0 | 5.9 | 15.0 |
| Other | 1.4 | 0.8 | 2.2 |
| Lease expenses | 60.4 | 53.0 | 73.5 |
The total cash flows relating to the leases are as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total cash flows | 57.9 | 148.2 | 96.3 |
The total cash flow decreased in 2024 comparedto 2023 due to fewer prepayments of new land leases in 2024
compared to 2023.
The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate related to the leases are as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted average remaining lease term (months) | 67 | 365 | 296 |
| Weighted average discount rate (%) | 2.2% | 2.5% | 3.0% |
The weighted average remaining lease term increased in 2023 due to a new land lease which has a lease term of 70
years. In 2024 the weighted average remaining lease term decreased due to new land lease additions with shorter
lease terms compared to 2023.
- Accrued and other liabilities
Accrued and other liabilities consist of the following:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Costs to be paid1 | 632.7 | 536.1 |
| Personnel-related items | 1,328.5 | 1,599.6 |
| Derivative financial instruments2 | 156.7 | 113.6 |
| Lease liabilities3 | 227.2 | 306.0 |
| Provisions | 76.7 | 100.8 |
| Standard warranty reserve | 142.3 | 158.9 |
| Refund liability | — | 309.4 |
| Other | 14.5 | 21.7 |
| Accrued and other liabilities | 2,578.6 | 3,146.1 |
| Less: non-current portion of accrued and other liabilities | 401.2 | 459.5 |
| Current portion of accrued and other liabilities | 2,177.4 | 2,686.6 |
Costs to be paid includes an amount payable to related parties. For further details, see Note 26 Related parties and variable interest entities.
For further details on derivative financial instruments, see Note 25 Financial risk management.
For further details onlease liabilities, see Note 14 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Costs to be paid represent ASML’s estimate of contractual liability as of the reporting date, to be settled in a future
period, based upon the underlying terms and conditions. Costs to be paid as of December 31, 2024, include VAT
payables and accrued costs for unbilled services provided by suppliers, including contracted labor, outsourced
services and consultancy.
Personnel-related items mainly consist of accrued annual short-term incentive (STI) bonus plans, accrued vacation
days, accrued pension premiums, accrued wage tax and accrued vacation allowance. The increase in the accrued
personnel-related items compared to prior year is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of FTEs, higher
wages and related cost, to support the continued growth of our business.
The refund liability represents the amount of consideration received from customers that ASML does not expect to
be entitled to. Refund liabilities do not meet the definition of a contract liability.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
The standard warranty reserve is based on historical product performance and total expected costs to fulfill our
warranty obligation. Annually, we assess and update the standard warranty reserve based on the latest actual
historical warranty costs and expected future warranty costs. Total changes in standard warranty reserve for the
years 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of year | 143.6 | 142.3 |
| Additions for the year | 232.2 | 210.0 |
| Utilization of the reserve | (233.3) | (193.5) |
| Effect of exchange rates | (0.2) | 0.1 |
| Balance at end of year | 142.3 | 158.9 |
- Long-term debt and interest and other costs
Long-term debt represents debt issued privately without registration with a government authority and is payable to
others under the terms of a signed agreement. Long-term debt is initially recognized at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost. Debt is qualified as long-term debt as long as the group has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Interest accruals and payments relating to long-term debt are accounted for as part of Accrued and other liabilities.
Interest and other costs should be accrued and recorded with the passage of time over the agreed term, regardless
of when the interest receipt or payment has taken place.
Long-term debt consists of the following (amounts for bonds represent carrying amount, not the principle amount):
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| €1,000 million 1.375% senior notes issued July 2016 and principal due July 7th 2026 interest annually payable on July 7th | 936.8 | 967.7 |
| €750 million 1.625% senior notes issued November 2016 and principal due May 28th 2027 interest annually payable on May 28th | 701.3 | 720.1 |
| €750 million 0.250% senior notes issued February 2020 and principal due February 25th 2030 interest annually payable on February 25th | 743.7 | 744.8 |
| €750 million 0.625% senior notes issued May 2020 and principal due May 7th 2029 interest annually payable on May 7th | 747.9 | 748.3 |
| €500 million 2.250% senior notes issued May 2022 and principal due May 17th 2032 interest annually payable on May 17th | 472.1 | 478.2 |
| €1,000 million 3.500% senior notes issued June 2023 and principal due December 6th 2025 interest annually payable on December 6th | 1,008.6 | 1,010.3 |
| Debt acquired from Berliner Glas (ASML Berlin GmbH) | 20.5 | 18.2 |
| Other | 0.7 | — |
| Long-term debt | 4,631.6 | 4,687.6 |
| Less: current portion of long-term debt | 0.1 | 1,010.3 |
| Non-current portion of long-term debt | 4,631.5 | 3,677.3 |
All senior notes are redeemable at the option of ASML, in whole or in part, at any time by paying a make whole
premium, and unless previously redeemed, will be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount on the maturity date.
| Financial statements | Notes | Appendices | Definitions |
Our obligations to make principal repayments under our senior notes and other borrowing arrangements excluding
interest expense as of December 31, 2024, are as follows:
| €, in millions | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 1,001.8 |
| 2026 | 1,001.8 |
| 2027 | 751.8 |
| 2028 | 1.8 |
| 2029 | 751.8 |
| Thereafter | 1,259.1 |
| Total debt maturities | 4,768.1 |
Eurobonds
The following table summarizes the carrying amount of our outstanding Eurobonds, including the fair value of
interest rate swaps used to hedge the change in the fair value of the Eurobonds:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Amortized cost amount | 4,731.7 | 4,736.9 |
| Fair value interest rate swaps1 | (121.3) | (67.5) |
| Carrying amount | 4,610.4 | 4,669.4 |
- The fair value of the interest rate swaps excludes accrued interest.
We use interest rate swaps to minimize the net interest exposure for the group by aligning the interest terms of the
available cash and the interest-bearing debt. The fair value changes of these interest rate swaps are recorded on
the Consolidated balance sheets under Current and non-current accrued and other liabilities, as well as Current and
non-current other assets, and the carrying amount of the Eurobonds is adjusted for these fair value changes.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our Eurobonds:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Principal amount | 4,750.0 | 4,750.0 |
| Carrying amount | 4,610.4 | 4,669.4 |
| Fair value1 | 4,496.2 | 4,561.8 |
- Source: Bloomberg Finance LP.
The fair value of our Eurobonds is estimated based on quoted market prices as of December 31, 2024. The fair
value deviates from the principal amount, due to changes in market interest rates and credit spreads since the issue
of our Eurobonds, which carry a fixed coupon interest rate.
Debt acquired from Berliner Glas (ASML Berlin GmbH)
The loan of Berliner Glas (ASML Berlin GmbH) is a mortgage loan of€18.2 million with an annual interest rate of
0.5%, repayable in 2034. Debt decreased compared to 2023, due to repayments made in 2024.
Lines of credit
We maintain an available committed credit facility of€1,500.0 million as of December 31, 2024 (2023:€700.0
million), with a group of banks. No amounts were outstanding under the committed credit facility at the end of 2024
and 2023. This facility has a maturity date of May 2029 with two one year uncommitted extension options on the
first and second anniversary of the facility (extending the maturity potentially to 2031). Outstanding amounts under
this credit facility will bear an interest of Euribor plus a margin. The margin depends on ourcredit rating. In addition,
there is a fee based on the utilization percentage of the facility.
ASML also has non-committed lines of credit available. These facilities provide ASML with the ability to request
short-term unsecured loans from time to time for an aggregate amount not exceeding€2.75 billion. No amounts
have been drawn under these lines of credit. Outstanding amounts under the non-committed facility will bear
interest based on market conditions at the moment of drawdown.
Furthermore, ASML has non-committed guarantee facilities under which guarantees in the ordinary course of
business, such as customs or rental guarantees, can be provided to third parties. These facilities also cover standby
letters of credit, corporate credit cards and foreign exchange limits and are available in Euro, US dollar, Japanese
yen and Taiwanese dollar. As of December 31, 2024 amounts of€44.1 million (2023:€46.9 million), JPY 4,825.0
million (2023: JPY nil) and TWD 553.7 million (2023: TWDnil ) were utilized under these facilities.
In 2024 ASML entered into a€1.5 billion Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) program. The program allows ASML to issue
commercial paper up to 364 days in tenor, in a number of currencies. As of December 31, 2024, there is no
commercial paper outstanding under this program.

Interest and other, net
Interest and other, net consists mainly of interest income and interest expenses. In 2024, the interest income
component is€182.4 million (2023:€193.9 million;2022:€16.2 million). Income mainly relates to interest income on
cash and cash equivalents. In 2024, the interest expense component is€162.6 million (2023:€152.7 million;2022:
€60.8 million). The expenses mainly relate to interest expense on our Eurobonds and interest rate swaps.
- Commitments and contingencies
Commitments
We have various contractual obligations, some of which are required to be recorded as liabilities in our Consolidated
balance sheets, including long- and short-term debt and lease commitments. Other contractual obligations, namely
unconditional purchase obligations, are generally not required to be recognized as liabilities but are required to be
disclosed.
Our contractual obligations as of December 31,2024, can be summarized as follows:
| Payments due by period (€, in billions) | Total | 1 year | 2 years | 3 years | 4 years | 5 years | >5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term debt obligations, including interest1 | 5.0 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 0.8 | — | 0.8 | 1.3 |
| Lease obligations2 | 0.3 | 0.1 | 0.1 | — | — | — | 0.1 |
| Purchase obligations | 13.3 | 9.9 | 2.2 | 0.8 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.1 |
| Total contractual obligations | 18.6 | 11.1 | 3.3 | 1.6 | 0.2 | 0.9 | 1.5 |
- Long-term debt obligations mainly relate to principal amounts and interest payments of our Eurobonds. For the amounts excluding interest
expenses and for further details, see Note 16 Long-term debt and interest and other costs.
- For further details, see Note 14 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
We have purchase obligations toward suppliers in the ordinary course of business which mainly relate to goods and
services for our operations and obligations relating to further expansion and upgrade of our facilities. The general
terms and conditions of the agreements relating to the major part of our purchase obligations as of December 31,
2024, contain clauses that enable us to delay or cancel delivery of ordered goods and services up to the dates
specified in the purchase agreements, in line with the timing of future sales. The terms and conditions that we
normally agree with our suppliers give us additional flexibility to adapt our purchase obligations to our requirements
in light of the cyclicality and technological developments inherent in the industry in which we operate.
Contingencies
ASML is subject to proceedings, litigation and other actual or potential claims, including those related to a potential
violation of laws and regulations. ASML’s customers may be subject to claims of infringement from third parties
alleging that the ASML equipment used by those customers in the manufacture of semiconductor products, and/or
the methods relating to use of the ASML equipment, infringesone or more patents issued to those third parties.
If these claims were successful, ASML could be required to indemnify such customers for some or all of the losses
incurred or damages assessed against them as a result of that infringement.
In connection with any proceedings and claims, our management evaluates, based on the relevant facts and legal
principles, the likelihood of an unfavorable (or favorable) outcome, and whether the amount of the loss (or gain) can
be reasonably estimated. Judgment is required in these evaluations, including judgments regarding the validity of
asserted claims and the likely outcome of legal and administrative proceedings. The outcome of these proceedings,
however, is subject to a number of factors beyond our control, most notably the uncertainty associated with
predicting decisions by courts and administrative agencies. In addition, estimates of the potential costs (or gains)
associated with legal and administrative proceedings frequently cannot be subjected to any sensitivity analysis, as
damage estimates or settlement offers by claimants may bear little or no relation to the eventual outcome. Finally,
in any particular proceeding, we may agree to settle or to terminate a claim or proceeding in which we believe that
it would ultimately prevail where we believe that doing so, when taken together with other relevant commercial
considerations, is more effective than engaging in an expensive and protracted litigation, the outcome of which
is uncertain.
As of December 31, 2024, management has determined that ASML does not have any material contingencies which
are considered probable or reasonably possible for each year presented in our Consolidated balance sheets.

- Personnel expenses and employee information
Personnel expenses for all payroll employees were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wages and salaries | 3,502.5 | 4,447.0 | 5,001.2 |
| Social security expenses | 300.7 | 410.5 | 468.4 |
| Pension and retirement expenses | 255.9 | 348.9 | 395.2 |
| Share-based payments | 68.9 | 134.8 | 172.6 |
| Personnel expenses | 4,128.0 | 5,341.2 | 6,037.4 |
The continued increase in personnel expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of FTEs, higher
wages and related cost, to support thecontinued growth of our business.
The average number of payroll employees in FTEs was:
| Average number of payroll employees in FTEs | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | 16,722 | 19,876 | 21,811 |
| Worldwide (including Netherlands) | 33,071 | 38,805 | 41,697 |

| Less: Temporary employees | 2,974 | 2,107 | 1,241 |
| Payroll employees | 36,112 | 40,309 | 42,786 |
Short-term incentive bonus plans
We have annual performance-related STI bonus plans for our employees. Under these plans, the employee bonus
payout depends on the employee’s job grade, the type of bonus plan and the company/individual performance. The
employee bonus payout (excluding the Board of Management) ranges between 0% and 126% of their annual base
gross salary. The 2024 STI bonus is accrued for as part of Accrued and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance
sheets and will be paid in the first quarter of 2025.
The STI bonus expenses for the (former) Board of Management and other employees were as follows:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Board of Management | 3.8 | 6.0 | 5.3 |
| Former Board of Management1 | — | — | 1.0 |
| Other employees | 629.6 | 712.6 | 816.8 |
| Total STI bonus expenses | 633.4 | 718.6 | 823.1 |
- On April 24, 2024, Peter T.F.M. Wennink and Martin A. van den Brink stepped down from their roles as Presidents of ASML and are, therefore,
presented as former Board of Management.

- Employee benefits
Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have
rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes
are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where our obligations under the plans are equivalent to
those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.
We maintainone multi-employer union-defined benefit pension plan and various other defined contribution pension
plans covering a substantial number of our employees. ASML accounts for its multi-employer defined benefit plan as
if it were a defined contribution plan for the following reasons:
ASML is affiliated to an industry-wide pension fund and uses the pension scheme in common with other
participating companies.
Under the regulations of the pension plan, the only obligation these participating companies have toward the
pension fund is to pay the annual premium liability. Participating companies are under no obligation whatsoever to
pay off any deficits the pension plan may incur. Nor have they any claim to any potential surpluses.
Our pension and retirement expenses for all employees for the years ended December 31,2024,2023 and 2022,
were:
| Year ended December 31 (€, in millions) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pension plan based on multi-employer union plan | 181.2 | 244.4 | 276.3 |
| Pension plans based on defined contribution and other plans | 74.7 | 104.5 | 118.9 |
| Pension and retirement expenses | 255.9 | 348.9 | 395.2 |
The accrued pension premiums were €75.9 million as of December 31, 2024, and€39.2 million as of December 31,
Multi-employer union plan
In accordance with the collective bargaining agreements effective for the industry in which we operate, which have
no expiration date, there are 23,082 eligible payroll employees in the Netherlands (53.9% of our total payroll FTEs)
that participate in a multi-employer union plan. Our net periodic pension cost for this multi-employer union plan for
any period is the amount of the required employer contribution for that period.
This multi-employer union plan is managed by PME (Stichting Pensioenfonds van de Metalektro) and this plan
covers approximately 1,566 companies and approximately 183,003 contributing members. Every participating
company contributes a premium that is based on the same contribution rate. This contribution rate can fluctuate
yearly based on the coverage ratio of the multi-employer union plan. For 2024, the contribution rate was 28.0%;
(2023:28.0%;2022:28.0%). For 2024, our contribution to this multi-employer union plan (including the premiums
paid by employees) was 18.2% (2023:18.3%;2022:15.7%) of the total contribution to this plan. For 2025, we
expect to contribute around€402.0 million to this plan (including the premiums paid by employees). The pension
rights of each employee are based upon the employee’s average salary during employment.
The PME multi-employer union plan monitors its risks on a global basis and is subject to regulation by Dutch
governmental authorities. By Dutch law (the Dutch Pension Act), a multi-employer union plan must be monitored
against specific criteria, including the coverage ratio of the plan’s assets to its obligations. The coverage ratio is
calculated by dividing the funds capital by the total sum of pension liabilities and is based on actual market interest
rates. The legally required minimal coverage ratio is 104.3% (2023:104.3%). Compared to the previous year, the
coverage ratio of PME increased to 113.1% as per December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: 109.4%). A recovery
plan is in place intended to improve this coverage ratio toward a minimum of 119.1%. ASML has no obligation to
pay any deficits the pension fund may incur, nor does it have any claim to any potential surpluses.
Other defined contribution and pension plans
We also participate in several other defined contribution pension plans (inside and outside the Netherlands), with our
expenses for these plans equaling the employer contributions made in the relevant period.
Deferred compensation plans
For more senior US employees we have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows them to defer a
portion of their salary, bonus and commissions. The plan allows us to credit additional amounts to the participants’
account balances. The participants divide their funds among the investments available in the plan. Participants elect
to receive their funds in future periods after the earlier of their employment termination or their withdrawal election,
at least three years after deferral. Expenses were close tonil relating to this plan in 2024,2023 and 2022. As of
December 31, 2024, our liability under deferred compensation plans was€111.8 million (2023:€94.7 million). The
related compensation plan assets are €113.1 million (2023:€95.2 million).
