Frans van Houten, CEO van Koninklijke Philips:

 

“In het vierde kwartaal boekten we een omzet van EUR 4,9 miljard, een weerspiegeling van een vergelijkbare omzetdaling van 10%, met een gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge van 13,1%. Zoals we op 12 januari 2022 aankondigden, werd de omzet beïnvloed door verschillende tegenslagen, namelijk uitdagingen in de toeleveringsketen, uitstel van apparatuurinstallaties in ziekenhuizen in verband met COVID-19 en de gevolgen van de veldactie van Respironics.


Onze strategie en portfolio blijven zeer goed aanslaan bij klanten en consumenten, wat een goede vraag naar onze producten en oplossingen genereert. Voor het volledige jaar ben ik tevreden met de vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 8% in de Diagnosis & Treatment-activiteiten en 9% groei in de Personal Health-activiteiten. De omzet van Connected Care daalde, wat resulteerde in een vergelijkbare omzetdaling van 1% voor de Groep. De bovengenoemde tegenslagen hadden een gecombineerd effect van 5 procentpunten op de vergelijkbare omzet van de Groep voor het volledige jaar.


De vergelijkbare groei van de orderontvangst voor de Groep bleef ook het hele jaar robuust, met een groei van 4% voor het volledige jaar, aangedreven door een groei met dubbele cijfers in de Diagnosis & Treatment-activiteiten. Dit bouwt verder op de hoge eencijferige groei van de vergelijkbare orderontvangst van de Groep in 2020, wat resulteert in een recordorderboek van alle tijden. In 2021 hebben we 80 strategische partnerschappen voor de lange termijn ondertekend en innovaties gelanceerd zoals de Spectral CT 7500 om een nauwkeurige diagnose te ondersteunen, evenals ons Azurion-platform voor beeldgestuurde therapie uit te breiden met baanbrekende toepassingen om minimaal invasieve behandelingen te innoveren. We zijn ook doorgegaan met het helpen van consumenten om beter voor hun gezondheid te zorgen met ons persoonlijke gezondheidsaanbod.


Het welzijn van de patiënt staat centraal bij alles wat we bij Philips doen, en we blijven uiterst gefocust op het repareren en vervangen van de apparaten die verband houden met de terugroepmelding van Philips Respironics. We voeren een uitgebreid test- en onderzoeksprogramma uit en hebben in december een update gegeven over de positieve VOC-testresultaten met betrekking tot de DreamStation-apparaten van de eerste generatie.

 

Op basis van een goede vraag van klanten en ons groeiende orderboek verwachten we ons groei- en marge-uitbreidingstraject in de loop van 2022 te hervatten. Op de korte termijn blijven we echter aanzienlijke volatiliteit en tegenwind zien in verband met COVID-19 en supply chain-uitdagingen, ondanks onze voortdurende tegenmaatregelen. Als gevolg hiervan, de veldactie van Respironics en de vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 9% in Q1 2021, verwachten we het jaar te beginnen met een vergelijkbare omzetdaling, gevolgd door een herstel en een sterke tweede helft van het jaar. Voor het volledige jaar streven we naar een vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 5-6%, exclusief Sleep & Respiratory Care. Voor de Groep streven we naar een vergelijkbare groei van 3-5% en een verbetering van 40-90 basispunten in de gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge.”

Business segment performance


Driven by Philips’ attractive portfolio, comparable order intake for the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses increased 10%, with double-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy and mid-single digit growth in Ultrasound in the fourth quarter. Comparable sales were in line with Q4 2020, with double-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy, offset by declines in Ultrasound and Diagnostic Imaging. The Adjusted EBITA margin was 13.0% in the quarter, mainly impacted by lower sales due to supply chain headwinds. For the full year, the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses recorded 8% comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin of 12.4%.

 

The Connected Care businesses’ comparable order intake declined 10% on the back of high COVID-19-generated demand in Q4 2020. Hospital Patient Monitoring orders showed continued growth in Q4 2021, driven by the ongoing structural increase in adoption of patient care management solutions in both high- and low-acuity care settings in the hospital. Comparable sales decreased 32% in the fourth quarter following the aforementioned high COVID-19-generated demand in Q4 2020, and a double-digit decline in Sleep & Respiratory Care in Q4 2021, because of the Respironics field action. The Adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 11.7% in the quarter, mainly impacted by the decline in sales. For the full year, the Connected Care businesses recorded a 23% comparable sales decrease and an Adjusted EBITA margin of 10.6%.

 

The Personal Health businesses’ comparable sales decreased 3%, mainly impacted by supply chain shortages. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 21.6%, mainly driven by productivity measures. For the full year, the Personal Health businesses delivered 9% comparable sales growth and an increased Adjusted EBITA margin of 17.6%.

 

Philips’ ongoing focus on innovation and partnerships resulted in the following key developments in the quarter and the year:

 

  • In 2021, Philips’ products and solutions improved the lives of 1.7 billion people, including 167 million people in underserved communities. In addition, Philips was again recognized for its leading sustainability performance in the 2021 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and CDP's Climate Change A-list.

  • Philips signed 35 new long-term strategic partnerships in North America, Europe and Asia, including a 10-year agreement with a large integrated healthcare system in the US for advanced patient monitoring and enterprise imaging solutions, as well as analytics and services to enhance operational outcomes and performance.

  • Philips further expanded its leading image-guide therapy portfolio through the acquisition of Vesper Medical, adding a venous stenting solution to address the root cause of chronic deep venous disease and enhance patient care. This will complement Philips’ strong IVUS offering in venous imaging and expand the company’s growth in the vascular therapy market.

  • Building on the ambulatory cardiac diagnostics and monitoring solutions resulting from the BioTelemetry acquisition, Philips acquired Cardiologs, adding a vendor-neutral heart disorder screener and ECG analysis applications based on machine learning algorithms. This technology will accelerate diagnostic reporting and streamline clinician workflow and patient care.

  • Philips has provided The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University – one of the biggest hospitals in the world, with more than 10,000 beds – with a range of advanced diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapy systems, including IQon Spectral CT and the Azurion image-guided therapy platform.

  • Expanding Philips’ unique helium-free operating MR imaging portfolio, the company received FDA clearance for its new MR 5300 system. Powered by AI, the MR 5300 simplifies and automates complex clinical and operational tasks for imaging departments to help accelerate workflows and improve access to affordable, quality care.

  • Further expanding the company’s comprehensive CT portfolio, Philips introduced the new CT 5100 Incisive with CT Smart Workflow, comprising AI-enabled capabilities designed to accelerate workflows, enhance diagnostic confidence, and maximize system up-time.

  • Highlighting the company’s leading position in high-acuity care settings, Philips received FDA clearance for the IntelliVue MX750 and MX850 patient monitors, which are uniquely designed to support scalability, alarm management, cybersecurity, and enhanced infection prevention within the hospital.

  • Philips completed the successful roll-out of the Sonicare 9900 Prestige in North America, China, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific. The premium electric toothbrush finished #1 in the Stiftung Warentest, Europe’s leading consumer organization. Philips further expanded its oral healthcare portfolio with the launch of innovative interdental cleaning devices in North America, China and Asia Pacific.

Capital allocation

 

In the fourth quarter, Philips completed the EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program for capital reduction purposes that was initiated in the first quarter of 2019. Under the share buyback program that was announced on July 26, 2021, Philips acquired a total of approximately 21.8 million shares in the fourth quarter and in January 2022 through open market purchases. In previous quarters, Philips had already entered into a number of forward transactions with settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

 

Philips completed the cancellation of 33.5 million of its shares that were acquired under both repurchase programs. Further details on Philips’ current repurchase program and previous programs can be found here.

Philips Respironics field action

 

As announced on January 12, 2022, Philips Respironics is increasing the field action provision by EUR 220 million, mainly due to the higher volume of registered devices eligible for remediation, following the comprehensive customer and patient outreach program in the fourth quarter, and increased supply costs.

 

Philips Respironics has submitted a comprehensive response and action plan in connection with the November 2021 Form-483 to the FDA, which are being evaluated. Philips Respironics continues to engage with the FDA and other relevant competent authorities.

 

In December 2021, Philips provided an update on the VOC test results to date for the first-generation DreamStation devices. The results indicate that the VOC concentrations are within safe exposure limits specified in the applicable safety standard (ISO 18562).

Comprehensive particulate testing and analyses are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.

 

To date, Philips Respironics has produced a total of approximately 1.5 million repair kits and replacement devices – of which approximately 750,000 have reached customers – and aims to complete the repair and replacement program in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

As previously disclosed, in relation to the affected devices, Philips Respironics is a defendant in several class-action lawsuits and individual personal injury claims. Given the uncertain nature and timing of the relevant events and potential associated obligations, if any, the company is unable to reliably estimate the financial effect of these matters.

Cost savings

 

Gross cost savings amounted to EUR 91 million in the fourth quarter, and EUR 398 million for the full year 2021. After deducting cost increases related to increases in supply costs, net savings amounted to EUR 19 million in the fourth quarter, and EUR 279 million for the full year.

Examples of forward-looking statements include: statements made about our strategy; estimates of sales growth; future Adjusted EBITA; future restructuring and acquisition-related charges 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.

 

These factors include but are not limited to: changes in industry or market circumstances; economic, political and societal changes; Philips’ increasing focus on health technology and solutions; the successful completion of divestments; the realization of Philips' objectives in growth geographies; business plans and integration of acquisitions; securing and maintaining Philips’ intellectual property rights, and unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property rights; COVID-19 and other pandemics; breaches of cybersecurity; IT system changes or failures; the effectiveness of our supply chain; challenges to drive operational excellence, productivity and speed in bringing innovations to market; attracting and retaining personnel; future trade arrangements following Brexit; compliance with regulations and standards, including quality, product safety and data privacy; compliance with 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.

Philips has recognized a provision related to the voluntary recall notification in the US/field safety notice outside the US for certain sleep and respiratory care products, based on Philips’ best estimate for the expected field actions. The future developments are subject to significant uncertainties, which require management to make estimates and assumptions about items such as quantities, costs to repair or replace, and duration. Actual outcomes in future periods may differ from these estimates and affect the company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

Third-party market share data

 

Statements regarding market share, contained in this document, including those regarding Philips’ competitive position, are based on outside sources such as specialized research institutes, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates.

Market Abuse Regulation

 

This press release contains inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation. This press release was distributed at 07:00 am CET on January 24, 2022.

 

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 2020.

 

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 2020. In certain cases independent valuations are obtained to support management’s determination of fair values.
