Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue from contracts with customers
Accounting Policy
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 obtain a right to payment for our systems through a combination of either a
reservation of a production slot 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 shipment 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 purchases agreements, we may also offer free goods or
services and credits that can be used towards 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
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 of the related goods or services. If it is subsequently determined 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 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.
We generate revenue from lessor agreements, which we classify as a sales-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 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.
For sales-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 a sales-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 (established
technologies)
New systems sales include i-line, KrF, ArF, ArFi and NXE-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, as well as 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 (established technologies)”.
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, therefore resulting in
transfer of control over the period of installation, measured using the cost incurred
method which is estimated using labor hours, as this best depicts the satisfaction of our
obligation in transferring control. 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
We sell new products and services, which are evolutions of our existing technologies. If
installation is determined not to be a separate performance obligation or if there is not a
sufficient established history of acceptance on FAT, the product is determined to be a
“new product introduction”.
New product introductions are typically newly developed options to be used within our
systems. 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 as 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.

Time-based licenses and
related service
Time-based licenses relate to software licenses and the related service which are sold
for a period of time. The licenses and the related service 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.

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 systems not yet recognized in revenue, as well as deferred
revenue from system shipments, 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.
Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the periods are as follows.

The decrease in the net contract liabilities to €16.0 billion as of December 31, 2023 compared to €17.6 billion as of
December 31, 2022 is mainly driven by a lower volume of fast shipment systems shipped for which revenue has not
yet been recognized. This is partially offset by an increase of down payments for systems which will be shipped in the
future. Cumulative catch-up adjustments recognized in our current year revenue are due to updated estimates for
system volume, discounts and credits included in our volume purchase agreements.
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 can cover up to 5 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. The volume purchase agreements may be subject to modifications, impacting the amount and timing of
revenue recognition for the anticipated revenues.
As of December 31, 2023, the remaining performance obligations amount to €45.0 billion (December 31, 2022:
€45.4 billion). The remaining performance obligations mainly include orders related to DUV immersion and NXE
lithography systems, and our next-generation EUV platform, High NA. We estimate that 57% (December 31, 2022:
56%) of these anticipated revenues will be recognized during the next 12 months.
