Applied Materials reported a solid start to 2025 with Q1 results showing meaningful top-line strength and a robust margin framework, underpinned by a strong balance sheet and substantial free cash flow generation. On a USD basis, revenue reached USD 7.166 billion, with a gross margin of 48.8% and an operating margin of 30.4%, translating to EUR-denominated equivalents of roughly EUR 6.66 billion revenue, EUR 3.25 billion gross profit, and EUR 2.02 billion operating income after currency translation assumptions. Net income stood at USD 1.185 billion (EUR ≈ 1.10 billion) with diluted earnings per share of USD 1.45 (≈ EUR 1.35). YoY, revenue rose about 5.7% while gross profit rose about 9.1% and operating income grew approximately 12%, yet net income declined roughly 30% and EPS fell around 29% due to a higher effective tax rate and non-operating effects. Free cash flow was USD 0.544 billion (EUR ≈ 0.50 billion) and cash from operations USD 0.925 billion (EUR ≈ 0.86 billion), underscoring strong cash-generation capability amidst aggressive capital allocation.
