ASM International (ASMIY) reported strong Q2 2025 results with revenue reaching €835.6 million, up 23% year-over-year at constant currencies. The company's performance was marked by a solid gross profit margin of 51.8% and adjusted operating result margin of 31.5%.

New orders decreased to €702.5 million, down 4% year-over-year at constant currencies, primarily due to lower advanced logic/foundry orders. The company's Q2 performance was driven by foundry segment growth and momentum in spares & services, particularly benefiting from AI-driven capacity expansions in leading-edge logic/foundry and HBM-related DRAM segments.

For 2025, ASM expects revenue growth at constant currencies to be around the midpoint of 10-20% guidance range, with H2 2025 revenue projected to be similar to H1 levels. The company's €150 million share buyback program was 40% complete as of June 30, 2025.

ASM International (ASMIY) ha riportato risultati solidi nel secondo trimestre del 2025, con ricavi pari a 835,6 milioni di euro, in crescita del 23% su base annua a valute costanti. Le performance dell'azienda sono state caratterizzate da un margine lordo solido del 51,8% e un margine operativo rettificato del 31,5%.

Gli ordini nuovi sono diminuiti a 702,5 milioni di euro, in calo del 4% su base annua a valute costanti, principalmente a causa della riduzione degli ordini nel segmento advanced logic/foundry. La performance del secondo trimestre è stata trainata dalla crescita del segmento foundry e dal dinamismo nei ricambi e servizi, beneficiando in particolare delle espansioni di capacità guidate dall'IA nei segmenti logic/foundry all'avanguardia e DRAM correlati ad HBM.

Per il 2025, ASM prevede una crescita dei ricavi a valute costanti intorno al punto medio dell'intervallo di previsione del 10-20%, con un fatturato nel secondo semestre 2025 stimato simile a quello del primo semestre. Il programma di riacquisto azionario da 150 milioni di euro era completato al 40% al 30 giugno 2025.

ASM International (ASMIY) reportó sólidos resultados en el segundo trimestre de 2025, con ingresos que alcanzaron los 835,6 millones de euros, un aumento del 23% interanual a tipos de cambio constantes. El desempeño de la compañía se destacó por un sólido margen bruto del 51,8% y un margen operativo ajustado del 31,5%.

Los nuevos pedidos disminuyeron a 702,5 millones de euros, una caída del 4% interanual a tipos de cambio constantes, principalmente debido a una menor demanda en pedidos avanzados de lógica/fundición.

ASM International (ASMIY)은 2025년 2분기에 강력한 실적을 보고했으며, 매출은 8억 3,560만 유로로 전년 동기 대비 환율 변동을 고려한 기준에서 23% 증가했습니다. 회사의 실적은 51.8%의 견고한 총이익률과 31.5%의 조정 영업이익률로 특징지어졌습니다.

신규 주문은 7억 250만 유로로 전년 동기 대비 환율 변동을 고려한 기준에서 4% 감소했으며, 주로 첨단 로직/파운드리 주문 감소가 원인입니다. 2분기 실적은 파운드리 부문의 성장과 예비 부품 및 서비스 부문의 모멘텀에 힘입었으며, 특히 첨단 로직/파운드리 및 HBM 관련 DRAM 부문에서 AI 기반 용량 확장으로 혜택을 받았습니다.

2025년 ASM은 환율 변동을 고려한 매출 성장률이 10-20% 가이던스 범위의 중간 지점 근처일 것으로 예상하며, 2025년 하반기 매출은 상반기 수준과 비슷할 것으로 전망합니다. 회사의 1억 5,000만 유로 규모 자사주 매입 프로그램은 2025년 6월 30일 기준으로 40% 완료되었습니다.

ASM International (ASMIY) a publié de solides résultats pour le deuxième trimestre 2025 avec un chiffre d'affaires atteignant 835,6 millions d'euros, en hausse de 23 % en glissement annuel à taux de change constants. La performance de l'entreprise s'est caractérisée par une marge brute solide de 51,8 % et une marge opérationnelle ajustée de 31,5 %.

Les nouvelles commandes ont diminué à 702,5 millions d'euros, en baisse de 4 % en glissement annuel à taux de change constants, principalement en raison d'une baisse des commandes dans le segment advanced logic/foundry.

  • New orders of €702 million in Q2 2025 decreased by 4% over the same period last year at constant currency (decreased by 7% as reported). Compared to Q1 2025, orders decreased by 10% at constant currency. This sequential decrease is explained by lower advanced logic/foundry orders due to timing of orders. The y-o-y decrease was mainly due to the lumpy nature of quarterly order intake and compared to a relatively high memory contribution in Q2 2024.
  • Revenue of €836 million increased by 23% at constant currencies (increased by 18% as reported) from Q2 last year. At constant currencies, revenue increased by 7% compared to Q1 2025, which was above our guidance range of +1% to +6% at constant currencies. Revenue in Q2 2025 was driven by foundry, followed by memory, and logic.
  • Gross profit margin of 51.8% in Q2 2025 improved compared to 49.8% in Q2 last year, while it decreased, as expected, compared to 53.4% in Q1 2025. Q2 2025 margin remained healthy thanks to mix, including continued strong sales to China.
  • Adjusted operating result margin of 31.5% increased by 5.7% points compared to the same period last year and slightly decreased by 0.8% points compared to previous quarter. The y-o-y improvement is mainly due to higher gross profit margin this quarter, and a one-off tax charge which resulted in a higher SG&A cost last year.
  • Reported net earnings included a reversal of impairment of €34 million from our stake in ASMPT (Q1 included a €215 million impairment), triggered by the increase in market valuation in the recent period. There is no cash impact. Following the impairment, and in line with our accounting policy, the changes in the market value of ASMPT will be included in our quarterly net results in case of further decline or until the impairment charge has been reversed.

Comment

“ASM continued to deliver solid quarterly results against a backdrop of mixed market conditions. Sales increased by 23% year-on-year at constant currencies to €836 million,” said Hichem M’Saad, CEO of ASM. “Compared to the first quarter of 2025 revenue increased by +7%, which was above the top end of our guidance. The y-o-y increase was led by the logic/foundry segment as well as continued momentum in our spares & services business.

The market environment continued to show a mixed picture in the second quarter. Growth in AI is fueling ongoing capacity expansions in the leading-edge logic/foundry and HBM-related DRAM segments, while conditions in most of the other market segments are still slow.

Bookings amounted to €702 million in Q2 2025, down 10% compared to Q1 at constant currencies, mainly due to lower advanced logic/foundry bookings. However, the underlying trend in this segment, particularly in gate-all-around (GAA), remains healthy and we expect related leading-edge logic/foundry bookings to pick up again in Q3.

The gross margin, while down from a high level of 53.4%, remained strong at 51.8%, again driven by product and customer mix, improved operational efficiency and a better-than-expected contribution from China sales. For the full year 2025, we still expect the gross margin to be in the upper half of the target range of 46%-50%. This excludes any potential direct impact from tariffs, which at this point remains difficult to predict. We have various scenarios in place to mitigate potential financial impacts.

Operating profit increased strongly in Q2, by approximately 40% adjusted for a one-off expense last year, on the back of increased sales, gross margin improvement and continued cost control, whilst continuing to invest in R&D.

We are well positioned to at least maintain our ALD and epi market share from the first to the second GAA logic/foundry nodes and remain focused on further share gains in memory, as ALD and epi intensity grows in upcoming DRAM nodes.”

Outlook

We expect revenue in the second half of 2025 to be approximately similar to the level in the first half, at constant currencies. For Q3 2025, we expect total ASM revenue to be flat to slightly lower, in a range of 0% to -5% at constant currencies compared to Q2 2025. As a reminder, with the Q1 2025 results we changed our quarterly revenue guidance from absolute Euro amounts to growth rates at constant currencies, given the increased exchange rate volatility in the recent periods and ASM’s significant USD revenue exposure (>80% of sales).
For Q3 2025, we expect advanced logic/foundry bookings to be higher than in Q2 2025 and China bookings to be lower, with the overall book-to-bill in Q3 projected to be below 1.

Based on comparable sales in the second half versus the first half, we expect revenue growth at constant currencies in 2025 to be around the midpoint of the guidance range of +10% to +20%. We continue to expect to outperform the WFE market, which is forecasted to grow slightly this year. Uncertainties related to tariffs, geopolitical tensions and the overall economic outlook continue to be relatively high.
The key growth driver for ASM this year is the high-volume manufacturing ramp of the 2nm GAA node. Despite some further shifts in capex forecasts among customers in this segment, our view for a strong increase in advanced logic/foundry sales in 2025 has not changed. Demand in advanced HBM-related DRAM applications remains solid, but conditions in the other parts of the memory market are sluggish. Against a very strong level last year, we still expect the memory contribution to drop this year (to less than 20% of equipment sales in 2025 versus 25% in 2024).

In the power/analog/wafer segment equipment demand remains depressed with no meaningful sales recovery in the remainder of the year, despite some early signs of improvement in the related end markets.
Demand in the Chinese market held up better than initially expected in the first half. We now expect China equipment sales in 2025 to be around the top end of the previously guided range of low to high 20s percentage of total ASM revenue. China sales and bookings in the second half are projected to be lower than in the first half.
