May Sales Reaccelerate Above Seasonal Nicolas Gaudois

Analyst

Following a resilient April, total semiconductor sales in May rebounded 16.7% M/M, or nicolas.gaudois@ubs.com

~840 bps/480 bps above the 10-yr/5-yr seasonal averages, primarily driven by a 19.9% +65-6495 5148

M/M increase in ASP while units slightly dropped(-2.7% M/M). Excluding memory, IC

sales rose 2.0% M/M, below 5-yr seasonal average of 3.2% and surpassing the 10-yr

seasonal average by ~60 bps, supported by a 4.4% M/M ASP gain, partially offset by a francois.bouvignies@ubs.com

by 3.9% (~70 bps above the 10-yr seasonal average) and 5.0% (~260 bps above the 10-
