ASML President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink said, "Our outlook for the full year 2024 is unchanged, with the second half of the year expected to be stronger than the first half, in line with the industry's continued recovery from the downturn. We see 2024 as a transition year with continued investments in both capacity ramp and technology, to be ready for the turn in the cycle."

In its first quarter, ASML's net income fell to 1.22 billion euros from last year's 1.96 billion euros. Earnings per share were 3.11 euros, down from 4.95 euros a year earlier.

Income before income taxes declined to 1.42 billion euros from 2.22 billion euros a year ago. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, however, grew to 51 percent from prior year's 50.6 percent.

Net sales were 5.29 billion euros, lower than prior year's 7.24 billion euros. Net system sales fell to 3.97 b illion euros from prior year's 5.34 billion euros. Net service and field option sales also were lower.

Sales of lithography systems were 70 units, down from prior year's 100 units.

In pre-market activity on the Nasdaq, ASML shares were losing around 4.1 percent to trade at $937.
