Kerncijfers derde kwartaal Frans van Houten, CEO: “Het is duidelijk dat de COVID-19-pandemie verre van voorbij is, onze teams blijven volledig gericht op onze drievoudige zorgplicht: het ondersteunen van kritieke klantbehoeften, het zekerstellen van de veiligheid en gezondheid van onze medewerkers en het borgen van de bedrijfscontinuïteit. Het doet mij genoegen om te melden dat wij, onder uitdagende omstandigheden, in staat zijn geweest onze plannen uit te voeren en terug te keren naar groei en verbeterde winstgevendheid voor de Groep in het derde kwartaal. Met name dankzij de geslaagde conversie van het Connected Care-orderboek voor patiëntmonitoren en beademingsapparatuur, evenals een robuuste opleving van de vraag naar ons Personal Health-portfolio, behaalde Philips een sterke vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 10% en een gecorrigeerde EBITA-margeverbetering van 300 basispunten, naar 15,4%. De Connected Care-businesses zetten een zeer sterke vergelijkbare omzetgroei neer van 42%, terwijl onze Personal Health-businesses een gezonde vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 6% leverden. De verbeterde prestatie van onze Diagnosis & Treatment-businesses naar een vergelijkbare omzetafname van 3%, na een afname in het vorige kwartaal van 9%, is bemoedigend. In augustus gaven wij de update dat het contract van april 2020 voor beademingsapparatuur met het Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), onverwachts gedeeltelijk was opgezegd. Als gevolg hiervan zagen wij een afname van de vergelijkbare orderontvangst voor de Groep van 18%. Exclusief deze gedeeltelijke opzegging nam de vergelijkbare orderontvangst toe met 3%, voortbouwend op de solide groei in de vorige kwartalen. Het werk dat wij doen ter ondersteuning van zorginstellingen en medisch personeel bij het leveren van zowel COVID-19- als reguliere zorg blijft topprioriteit voor ons allemaal bij Philips. In nauwe samenwerking met onze leveranciers en partners hebben wij gezorgd voor een grote toename van de productievolumes van producten en oplossingen om COVID-19-patiënten te diagnosticeren, behandelen, bewaken en managen. Wij hebben een nieuwe Rapid Equipment Deployment Kit geïntroduceerd voor het opschalen van de IC-zorg, waardoor ziekenhuispersoneel snel apparatuur voor patiëntmonitoring kan inzetten wanneer additionele kritische zorgcapaciteit nodig is. Ter verbetering van de zorg voor patiënten en de productiviteit van zorgverleners is Philips 11 langetermijn strategische partnerships aangegaan met ziekenhuizen in de VS, Europa en Azië. Wij hebben een nieuw meerjarig partnership aangekondigd met Tampa General Hospital, een van de grootste ziekenhuizen in de VS, om al hun patiëntmonitoren te vervangen en belangrijke beeldvormingstechnologie te upgraden in de katheterisatielaboratoria en interventieradiologiekamers. Wij zullen dit ziekenhuis ook voorzien van unieke workflow-oplossingen en diensten leveren op het gebied van operationeel prestatiemanagement. Als wij vooruit kijken, blijven wij onzekerheid en volatiliteit zien gerelateerd aan de wereldwijde impact van COVID-19, maar ons orderboek blijft solide. Voor het gehele jaar 2020 blijven wij bij onze verwachting van een bescheiden vergelijkbare omzetgroei, met een gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge van rond het niveau van vorig jaar.” De originele versie van dit persbericht is leidend
Business segment performance The Diagnosis & Treatment businesses recorded a 3% comparable sales decline, compared to a 9% sales decline in Q2 2020. The postponement of installations and gradual recovery of elective procedures resulted in a low-single-digit comparable sales decline in Diagnostic Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy and a double-digit decline in Ultrasound. Comparable order intake showed a 5% decrease, compared to a 20% decrease in Q2 2020. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased to 9.7%, mainly due to lower volumes and factory coverage, as well as mix changes. Comparable sales in the Connected Care businesses increased 42%, with double-digit growth in Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care. Excluding the partial termination of the ventilator contract with HHS, comparable order intake showed a double-digit increase, with strong growth across all businesses. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 27.1%, driven by higher volumes and operating leverage. The Personal Health businesses delivered a comparable sales increase of 6%, driven by high-single-digit growth in Personal Care and Domestic Appliances. The Adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 14.5%, which includes an adverse currency impact. Philips’ ongoing focus on innovation and partnerships resulted in the following key developments in the quarter:
Cost savings In the third quarter, procurement savings amounted to EUR 62 million. Overhead and other productivity programs delivered savings of EUR 58 million. As a result, Philips is on track to deliver over EUR 400 million productivity savings for 2020 and exceed EUR 1.8 billion productivity savings for the Group for the 2017-2020 period.
Philips provides new financial targets for the 2021–2025 period At the company’s Capital Markets Day with investors and financial analysts on November 6, 2020, Philips will provide further details of its strategic plan and performance trajectory for the 2021–2025 period. “We are excited to continue our journey to create further value by improving growth and profitability, while recognizing that we are in very uncertain times, and with the assumption that the world economy will return to growth next year,” said Frans van Houten. “The new targets are underpinned by our strategic imperatives to further improve customer and operational excellence, boost growth in our core businesses through geographical expansion and more customer partnerships, and win with innovative solutions along the health continuum. Our strategy to transform care along the health continuum – from healthy living and prevention to diagnosis and treatment, telehealth and home care – strongly resonates with customers and has been further validated during the COVID-19 pandemic.” Philips’ targets for accelerated growth, higher profitability and improved cash flow for the 2021–2025 period are [1]: *) Op 31 augustus 2020 kondigde Philips aan dat haar contract van april 2020 voor de levering van beademingsapparatuur met de Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) van de VS deels was opgezegd. [1] The new targets exclude the Domestic Appliances business. As announced in January 2020, the Domestic Appliances business is being separated from Philips, a process that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021. [2] The Diagnosis & Treatment business segment is expected to reach 15-17% Adjusted EBITA margin by 2025, the Connected Care segment is expected to reach 17-19%, and the Personal Health business segment is expected to reach 19-20%.

Forward-looking statements These factors include but are not limited to: changes in industry or market circumstances; economic and political developments; market and supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 outbreak; Philips’ increasing focus on health technology; the realization of Philips’ growth ambitions and results in growth geographies; successful completion of divestments such as the divestment of our Domestic Appliances businesses; lack of control over certain joint ventures; integration of acquisitions; securing and maintaining Philips’ intellectual property rights and unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property rights; compliance with quality standards, product safety laws and good manufacturing practices; exposure to IT security breaches, IT disruptions, system changes or failures; supply chain management; ability to create new products and solutions; attracting and retaining personnel; financial impacts from Brexit; compliance with regulatory regimes, including data privacy requirements; governmental investigations and legal proceedings with regard to possible anticompetitive market practices and other matters; business conduct rules and regulations; treasury risks and other financial risks; tax risks; costs of defined-benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans; reliability of internal controls, financial reporting and management process. As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future results to differ from such forward-looking statements, see also the Risk management chapter included in the Annual Report 2019. Third-party market share data Statements regarding market share, including those regarding Philips’ competitive position, contained in this document are based on outside sources such as research institutes, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates. Where information is not yet available to Philips, those statements may also be based on estimates and projections prepared by outside sources or management. Rankings are based on sales unless otherwise stated. Use of non-IFRS information In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measure and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further information on non-IFRS measures can be found in the Annual Report 2019. Use of fair value information In presenting the Philips Group’s financial position, fair values are used for the measurement of various items in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. These fair values are based on market prices, where available, and are obtained from sources that are deemed to be reliable. Readers are cautioned that these values are subject to changes over time and are only valid at the balance sheet date. When quoted prices or observable market data are not readily available, fair values are estimated using appropriate valuation models and unobservable inputs. Such fair value estimates require management to make significant assumptions with respect to future developments, which are inherently uncertain and may therefore deviate from actual developments. Critical assumptions used are disclosed in the Annual Report 2019. In certain cases independent valuations are obtained to support management’s determination of fair values. Presentation All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up precisely to totals provided. All reported data is unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with the significant accounting policies as stated in the Annual Report 2019. Certain comparative-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Effective Q1 2020, Philips has simplified its order intake policy by aligning horizons for all modalities to 18 months to revenue, compared to previously used delivery horizons of 6 months for Ultrasound, 12 months for Connected Care and 15 months for Diagnosis & Treatment. At the same time, Philips has aligned order intake for software contracts to the same 18 months to revenue horizon, meaning that only the next 18 months conversion to revenue under the contract is recognized, compared to the full contract values recognized previously. This change eliminates major variances in order intake growth and better reflects expected revenue in the short term from order intake booked in the reporting period. Prior-year comparable order intake amounts have been restated accordingly. This realignment has not resulted in any material additional order intake recognition. Per share and weighted average share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares for the share dividend in respect of 2019. Market Abuse Regulation This press release contains inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
This document and the related oral presentation, including responses to questions following the presentation, contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Philips and certain of the plans and objectives of Philips with respect to these items. Examples of forward-looking statements include: statements made about the strategy; estimates of sales growth; future Adjusted EBITA; future restructuring, acquisition-related and other costs; future developments in Philips’ organic business; and the completion of acquisitions and divestments. By their nature, these statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances and there are many factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.
