China WFE Import Tracker (Apr 2026): YTD YoY -13% with weakerlithography import due to supply constrain We track monthly Wafer Fabrication Equipment (WFE) imports to China through data fromChina Customs (link); this call provides an update to the April 2026 data (excel) and ouranalysis. April import was $2.7 billion, -12% MoM and -3% YoY. YTD YoY -13%, still weakerthan expected mainly due to Lithography YTD YoY -27% because of supply constrain.

Apr single month total WFE imports at USD 2.7bn, lower than last year averageof $3.2bn. AprYTD at USD 10bn, YoY -13%. Lithography hit a record low import withonly $142 million, YoY -60%, only accounting for 5% of total import but could be justmonthly fluctuations. YTD’s weak import was mostly dragged by Lithography, ProcessControl & Others. By region, import from Singapore/Malaysia showed strong growth, YoY+34%/17%. Litho import was extremely low at USD 142mn, YoY – 60%. YTD Litho importwas USD 1.85bn, YoY-27%. Import from Singapore + US + Malaysia was USD 1.4bn, YoY Zheng Cui +852 2123 2694zheng.cui@bernsteinsg.comFrancis Ma+852 2123 2626francis.ma@bernsteinsg.comAlrick Shaw+1 917 344 8454alrick.shaw@bernsteinsg.com April Litho imports of EUR 87Mn from the Netherlands were down 87% MoMand 65% YoY, marking it the lowest month since July 2022.Our regression modelestimates that China sales will decline sharply to EUR 0.44Bn in Q1, down 64% QoQ and71% YoY, reflecting weak imports in April. This implies that China will represent only 7%of total system sales in Q2. Monthly import data can be lumpy. During Q1 results, ASMLreiterated that China revenue is expected to decline to 20% of total revenue in FY26,compared to 33% in FY25. While we believe China demand will remain resilient, supported Arpad von Nemes+1 917 344 8461arpad.vonnemes@bernsteinsg.com Juho Hwang+852 2123 2632juho.hwang@bernsteinsg.com Carmine Milano, CFA+44 20 7762 1857carmine.milano@bernsteinsg.com For LRCX, the April data (1-month correlation) suggests Jun-Q China revenueswould decrease ~28% QoQ, with China exposure landing at ~22% of total revenuesbased on consensus revenue estimates.This appears at least directionally consistent AMAT’s April quarter results on China revenue is in-line with our regression.AMAThas already reported their April quarter results, hence the April data (3-month correlation)carries no predictive power, rather we will use it as a check/verification. To that end, thecorrelation suggested China revenues would be flattish in the quarter, and land at ~26.5% Continued on next page For KLAC, the April data (1-month correlation) suggests Jun-Q China revenueswould increase ~17% QoQ, with China exposure landing at ~27% of total revenuesbased on consensus revenue estimates.Management didn’t provide guidance for their For TEL, our regression suggests TEL’s China revenue could be +3% YoY and +14%QoQ.Our 1-month regression implies slight upside to TEL’s JunQ revenue, tracking aheadof consensus of -4% QoQ, and an implied China contribution up to 32% vs. 27% in Q4. For Kokusai, our regression suggests their China revenue could be +48% YoY and+101% QoQ.Our 1-month regression implies slight upside to consensus of +10% QoQ,and an implied China contribution of 51% vs. 28% in Q4. For Screen, our regression suggests their China revenue could be -50% YoY and-73% QoQ.Our 1-month regression implies downside to consensus of -1% QoQ, and animplied China contribution of 12% vs. 46% in Q4. For Advantest, Our regression suggests their China revenue is could be +35% YoYand -7% QoQ.Our 1-month regression implies slight downside to consensus of +5%QoQ, and an implied China contribution of 15% vs. 17% in Q4.
