Backlog is not recognised revenue. Management’s growth forecast remains uncertain.

Fourth-quarter bookings reached €6.3 billion, including €3.4 billion for extreme-ultraviolet systems.

Capacity plans predate these results. In its 10 November 2022 investor update, ASML set a target of annual capacity for 90 extreme-ultraviolet and 600 deep-ultraviolet systems in 2025–2026. The plan covers both advanced and mature chipmaking markets. These are future manufacturing-capacity targets, not machines already delivered or evidence that today’s backlog can immediately become revenue. Earlier announcement.
