Exhibit 99.1
Fire incident at ASML Berlin
Veldhoven, The Netherlands, January 3, 2022—ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) announces today that there was a fire last night inside a part of its factory in Berlin, Germany. The fire was extinguished during the night and fortunately no persons were injured during this incident. At this point it is too early to make any statement on the damage or whether the incident will have any impact on the output plan for this year. It will take a few days to conduct a thorough investigation and make a full assessment. As soon as we have such assessment, we will provide an update.
ASML Berlin manufactures components for ASML’s lithography systems, including wafer tables and clamps, reticle chucks and mirror blocks. ASML acquired Berliner Glas in 2020.

Exhibit 99.2
Update fire incident at ASML Berlin
Veldhoven, The Netherlands, January 7, 2022—ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) provides an update today on the fire that occurred inside a part of its factory in Berlin, Germany on January 3. During the last few days, ASML conducted a preliminary assessment.
The fire occurred in a part of one production building on the site in Berlin and the smoke partly impacted an adjacent building. We have been able to resume production in parts of these buildings already. The other buildings on the site have not been affected and are fully operational.
Although our impact assessment of the damage is ongoing, our current view is the following:
| • | Our Metrology and Inspection output plans are not affected as they do not contain any components made in Berlin |
| • | The manufacturing of DUV components has been restarted. Although there was some disruption regarding components for DUV, we expect to remediate this in such a way that it will not affect our output and revenue plan for DUV |
| • | As to EUV, the fire affected part of the production area of the wafer clamp, a module in our EUV systems. We are still in the process of completing the recovery plan for this production area and determining how to minimize any potential impact for our EUV customers, both in our output plan and in our field service. |
On January 19, 2022, we will present our Q4 and full-year 2021 results, as well as our initial view on the year 2022 and we expect to then also provide a further update on the incident.
