juho.hwang@bernsteinsg.com SPE import +58% YoY, +46% MoM. Overall, Taiwan semi equipment imports YoY in Jun

was +58% globally / +44% from Japan. MoM shows a strong uptick from May — globally

Carmine Milano, CFA +46% and +67% from Japan. 3-month moving average is up +8% for global, and +6% for

+852 2123 2683 +4% MoM in Tester import. Advantest SoC tester revenue is highly correlated to the

jack.lin@bernsteinsg.com Taiwan tester import data which was up +4% MoM, and +6% YoY. 3-month average was

-6% MoM. Our regression analysis suggests +5% QoQ for Advantest Taiwan sales with 3-

month data, which suggests slight upside to consensus JunQ revenue of +2% QoQ.

June TW litho imports were very strong at €1.2bn, up 120% MoM and up 44%

YoY. On a quarterly basis, imports were €2.62bn, up ~80% QoQ. This was largely

driven by the very strong June imports, the third-highest monthly level on record. Our

regression model indicates Taiwan quarterly system sales for ASML of €2.66bn, rising

84% sequentially and 36% YoY, representing the second-strongest quarter on record for
