#####

Macro and sector trends Global economic environment not improving Logic/Foundry customer factory utilization rates remain high, especially for 300mm. Logic chip ASPs are rising but these customers are tightly controlling capex DRAM installed litho capacity is more or less stable. Customers mainly order leading-edge equipment for technology transitions, as slow price recovery does not entice customers to build additional capacity NAND prices remain low with uncertain seasonal end demand

New immersion product XT:1950i to ship Q1 2009 Key benefits Manufacturing performance increased by 25% over previous high-end system: smaller features (38 nm) creates 10% more wafer area, which results in the most powerful chips to date and more chips per wafer higher throughput speed further increases performance and cost-effectiveness more accurate overlay control, leading to better device yield improved cleanliness increases yield and reduces maintenance

#####

Improved overlay performance options: DCO ^ 3.5 nm SMO ^ 4.0 nm MMO ^ 7.0 nm iClean option boosts system cleanliness and reliability Best-in-class immersion productivity (PEP & TOP options): 148 wph (300 mm) 125 x 16x32 x 30 mJ/cm2 Faster chuck swap Faster measure cycle Advanced lens control means improved imaging performance @ 38 nm resolution 25% more performance with TWINSCAN(tm) XT:1950i Liquid particle counter option gives fast feedback and control of immersion water quality

#####

Market share Japan Technology drives ASML product acceptance Reinforced presence in Japanese memory market, as measured by unit volume shipped to Japan ASML KrF is showing clear advantage for CCD CMOS image sensor application ASML immersion systems selected by a Japanese consumer chip manufacturer - first shipment due in Q4 '08 ASML immersion systems selected by a Japanese microprocessor manufacturer - first shipment due in Q4 '08

Business summary

#####

Solid Q2 results Net sales of &128; 844 million Gross Margin of 40%, Operating margin of 18% Cash generation from Operations &128; 130 million Shipped 16 immersion tools Booked 33 systems, valued at &128; 632 Backlog at &128; 1,106 million, 59 systems Record average selling price for new shipped systems of &128; 21.7 million

#####

Decreased corporate tax rate in future Due to new tax law, income attributable to intangible assets (patents) is effectively taxed at a lower rate in the Netherlands Going forward this will result in a structurally lower effective corporate tax rate this year and beyond, estimated to be 20% on a normalized basis

Outlook

#####

ASML's business model in current environment Our gross margin target at &128; 900 million of quarterly sales is approx. 40% Gross margin is impacted by lower coverage of fixed cost at reduced sales volumes Price pressures will be dealt with through accelerated cost reductions (Manufacturing and SG&A cost flexibility and Supply base) and performance upgrades (TWINSCAN H version and new architecture introduction) Our R&D spend will not be substantially lower than &128; 130 million per quarter unless we fall below a &128; 3 billion annual sales level

#####

Q3 2008 outlook ASML expects to ship 37 systems ASP for new + used systems expected to be &128; 15.6 million Gross margin approximately 38% R&D is expected at &128; 130 million net of credit SG&A is expected to decrease to &128; 52 million

#####

Outlook As anticipated, our Q2 bookings increased to 33 systems versus 26 in Q1 with a high average selling price of &128; 19.2 million. Although, this level of orders is in line with our earlier expectation of a full year 2008 net sales decrease of about 10% versus 2007, the current macro-economic weakness may force our customers to focus only on technology transfers to immersion and delay capacity additions for non-leading edge processes In that case, our 2008 net sales may potentially drop by as much as 20% versus 2007. Still, demand for our latest immersion technology remains robust, with 80% of Q3 system revenues expected to come from the XT:1900i Following this trend, we expect immersion bookings in Q3 to be similar to that of Q2, but cannot easily guide on the number of orders for non- leading edge systems

#####

Outlook continued We expect the 2009 lithography business to be supported by several positive trends. The DRAM ramp-up of 55 nm, the healthy revenue growth at our foundry customers - in particular on leading edge processes - and the transition to double patterning lithography by flash memory leaders will contribute to a positive development mid-term, although it is too early to forecast our 2009 business Therefore, in order to adapt to the uncertain overall economy and to the strong euro impact, we have reduced SG&A costs versus Q1 2008 by around 10% and are controlling manufacturing costs by utilizing our system of flexible working hours Furthermore, while maintaining our R&D investment level and our ability to meet short term demand pickup, we are executing a comprehensive efficiency program together with our supply base to provide the market with even more cost effective solutions
