Asm International Nv

Good afternoon. This is the Coral School Conference operator. Welcome and thank you for joining the ASM International Q4 2022 earnings call. As a reminder, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Should anyone need assistance during the conference call, they may signal an operator by pressing star and zero on their telephone. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Victor Bareno, Investor Relator. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Judith. Welcome, everyone. I'm joined here today by our President and CEO, Benjamin Lowe, and our CFO, Paul Verhagen. ASM issued its fourth quarter 2022 results yesterday evening at 6 p.m. Central European Time. For those of you who have not yet seen the press release, it is available on our website, ASM.com, together with our latest investor presentation. As always, we remind you that this conference call may contain information relating to ASM's future business and results, in addition to historical information. For more information on the risk factors related to such forward-looking statements, please refer to our company's press releases, reports, and financial statements, which are available on our website. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Benjamin Lau.

Thank you, Victor. And thanks to everyone for attending our fourth quarter 2022 results conference call. I'll start with a few of the highlights. ASM delivered a strong performance in 2022. We increased our equipment revenue by 38% of constant currencies, our sixth consecutive year of double-digit growth, and despite significant supply chain challenges throughout the year. We further expanded our R&D engagements with key customers, and we continue to invest in our people and in the growth of our company. I want to thank all our ASM people as they ran again the extra mile to meet our customers' requirements and contributed to another successful year for our company. I also want to thank our investors and other stakeholders for their continued support. The agenda for today's call is as usual. Paul will first review our financial results. I will then continue with a discussion of the market trends and the outlook, followed by the Q&A. With that, handing over to you, Paul.
