The restriction on exports to China did not hinder the Dutch company. It increased revenues and profits.
Dutch technology company ASML Holding NV, a leading supplier of equipment and technologies for the production of integrated circuits, increased its consolidated net revenue to €7.516 billion in the third quarter of 2025. This represents a year-on-year increase of 0.7%.
Net profit amounted to EUR 2.125 billion, compared to EUR 2.077 billion a year ago, an increase of 2.3%. Earnings per share amounted to EUR 5.48, compared to EUR 5.28 in 2024.
Due to better-than-expected results, the company's management decided to pay an interim dividend from 2025 profits in the amount of €1.6 per share. The payment will take place on November 6th of this year.
Order volume has more than doubled and now exceeds €5.4 billion. The largest portion, €3.6 billion, is for the latest Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems.
This means that in 2026, sales should be at a similar or slightly higher level than today. The increase in unit margin from 50.8% to 51.6% suggests that net profit will be higher.
In 2024, ASML was forced to limit the export of advanced machinery and technologies to China due to objections raised by the US administration.
As a result of political pressure, the Dutch government withdrew export licenses for some ASML products that could be used for the Chinese military.
