About Roger Dassen
Roger Dassen, CFO of ASML, reported that the company achieved record full-year 2025 revenue of €32.7 billion, a 16% increase from 2024, and a Q4 net revenue of €9.7 billion. He stated that the company expects EUV revenue to "increase significantly" in 2026 compared to 2025, while non-EUV system revenue is expected to be "flattish." Dassen said that China is expected to account for approximately 20% of ASML's revenue in 2026, which he described as a normalization to a lower level than in 2025. He also announced a new share buyback program of up to €12 billion through December 2028. Dassen discussed a planned restructuring, stating that ASML will eliminate approximately 1,700 roles to simplify its organization, which he said had become too complex due to rapid growth. He described the motivation as not about profit, but about addressing feedback from employees who wanted to spend less time on coordination. Dassen also noted that the company would create new engineering roles. Regarding the investment in Mistral AI, Dassen said the partnership is strategic for improving the software content and product development speed of ASML's systems Poisson.
