Frans van Houten, CEO:

“2017 was a good year, as we continued the transformation of Philips into a focused leader in health technology and delivered on our improvement targets for the year. I am pleased that we delivered 4% comparable sales growth, an Adjusted EBITA margin increase of 110 basis points, and a strong EUR 1.2 billion free cash flow. We strengthened our strategic platforms through targeted acquisitions, introduced several breakthrough innovations, secured multiple long-term strategic partnerships, and we deconsolidated Philips Lighting as we decreased our shareholding to below 30%.

Philips’ performance in the fourth quarter demonstrates that we are gaining momentum. We finished 2017 on a firm note by delivering comparable order intake growth of 7%, and comparable sales growth of 5%, which was driven by our Personal Health businesses and Diagnosis & Treatment businesses. We achieved a strong Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of 140 basis points, driven by higher volumes, procurement and productivity savings, and increased free cash flow to EUR 948 million.


We further strengthened our portfolio through targeted acquisitions across the health continuum. The integration of these acquisitions is on track. I would like to highlight that the productivity improvements for Spectranetics are ahead of plan, and we successfully launched the Stellarex drug-coated balloon in the US. Furthermore, the integration of Volcano has been completed as planned. This business delivered high-teens comparable sales growth in 2017, driven by the strong performance of our diagnostic catheters, and we further improved gross margins by 10 percentage points in the past two years.

I am pleased that our organic growth initiatives are delivering tangible results, such as the strong order intake growth in our Digital Pathology Solutions business, the double-digit growth of our Sleep & Respiratory Care devices, and the continued success of Philips OneBlade. This revolutionary hybrid styler generated annual sales of more than EUR 100 million within 18 months of its launch.

We expect our markets to grow at 3–5% on a comparable basis in 2018. Combined with our strong order book, we are confident that we will deliver on our mid-term targets of 4-6% comparable sales growth and on average an annual 100 basis points improvement in Adjusted EBITA margin this year. Given the phasing of our order book, we expect improvements to be at the back end of the year.”

Business segments

In the fourth quarter, all business segments continued to deliver operational improvements and increased profitability.

In the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, comparable order intake increased by a strong 12%, driven by North America and China. Comparable sales increased by 6%, reflecting high-single-digit growth in Ultrasound and mid-single-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy and Diagnostic Imaging. The Adjusted EBITA margin was 90 basis points higher compared to the same period last year, mainly driven by higher volumes, procurement savings and other cost productivity.

The 6% comparable sales growth of the Personal Health businesses was driven by high-single-digit growth in Health & Wellness and Sleep & Respiratory Care. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 70 basis points, driven by higher volume and procurement savings, partly offset by investments in advertising & promotion.

In the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses, comparable sales increased by 2%, with high-single-digit growth in Healthcare Informatics and low-single-digit growth in Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 190 basis points, partly driven by procurement savings and other cost productivity. Comparable order intake showed a low-single-digit decline in the quarter as certain expected large orders were postponed to 2018.

Philips’ ongoing focus on innovation through organic and inorganic growth initiatives resulted in the following highlights in the quarter:

 

    As part of Philips’ new introductions to drive growth in Diagnostic Imaging, the company launched its digital MR Prodiva 1.5T system, which provides enhanced clinical performance and increased productivity. Philips also introduced the latest configuration of its IQon Spectral CT, which is optimized to support the needs of emergency and oncology care. Moreover, since the third quarter, Philips has been shipping Vereos, the world’s first and only fully digital PET/CT system, which is achieving market success due to its superb resolution, accuracy and efficiency.

 

    Philips strengthened its Radiology Solutions offering with the acquisition of Analytical Informatics. Their suite of workflow improvement applications complements Philips’ PerformanceBridge Practice to enable imaging departments to make data-driven improvement decisions. For example, Philips and Banner Health extended their partnership to include adoption of Philips’ PerformanceBridge Practice across Banner’s 28 radiology departments.

 

    Philips signed several multi-year agreements including a 10-year agreement with Children’s Hospital & Medical Center of Omaha in the US to help drive innovation in pediatric care. The company also won a multi-modality tender at the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein to provide medical equipment for the hospital’s radiology and neuroradiology departments. In addition, the German Armed Forces will adopt Philips’ Lumify app-based ultrasound solution as standard equipment for doctors and paramedics in emergency and rescue operations.

 

    Expanding its health informatics portfolio, Philips acquired interoperability provider Forcare in the Netherlands. Philips also partnered with US-based Nuance to bring Artificial Intelligence into radiology reporting by leveraging functionalities from Philips’ Illumeo and Nuance’s PowerScribe 360. Furthermore, Philips launched its new IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition for Radiology, providing radiology departments with comprehensive tools to increase efficiency and enhance throughput.

 

    In China, Philips partnered with Oranger, a service provider specialized in chronic respiratory disease management, and Health 100, the largest health examination organization in China, to provide integrated solutions for chronic respiratory diseases that cover screening, referral, treatment and recovery.

 

    To further expand its Population Health Management business, Philips acquired VitalHealth, whose highly complementary portfolio of advanced analytics, care coordination, patient engagement and outcome management solutions will support Philips’ commitment to deliver integrated solutions for care providers.

 

    As a driver of new care models, Philips teamed up with leading telehealth provider American Well to jointly deliver virtual care solutions around the world by embedding American Well’s mobile telehealth services into an array of Philips solutions, starting with the Philips Avent uGrow parenting platform, giving parents 24/7 access to professional medical consultations.

    Strengthening its leadership in patient monitoring solutions, Philips received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the IntelliVue X3 patient monitor, which provides continuous monitoring for the most critical patients during in-hospital transport. The IntelliVue X3 already had CE marking and was released in Europe in mid-2017.

Cost savings

Philips’ productivity programs delivered annual savings of EUR 483 million, ahead of the targeted savings of EUR 400 million. In the quarter, procurement savings amounted to EUR 81 million, led by the DfX program, while other productivity programs generated savings of EUR 52 million.

Capital allocation

Philips continues to progress with its EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program, which was initiated in the third quarter of 2017 for capital reduction purposes. Details about the transactions to date can be found here.

Regulatory update

Following the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection of the Cleveland facility (Illinois) in the third quarter of 2017, Philips submitted its response to the inspectional observations for review by the FDA. In December 2017, the company had a constructive meeting with the FDA. Philips will continue to drive its Quality Management System improvement program, and provide monthly status reports to the FDA highlighting the progress in addressing the observations.

On October 31, 2017, a US Federal court formally approved a consent decree that had been agreed to by Philips and the US government, as announced in Philips’ press release on October 11, 2017. Philips is proceeding in line with the terms of the consent decree, which include inspections by independent auditors. As planned, Philips has resumed shipments of its HS1 AEDs globally, as well as consumables, accessories and service parts for all of its defibrillators. Additionally, the company resumed shipments of its FRx and FR3 AEDs to a key market outside of the US in January 2018 and aims to expand these shipments to other markets outside of the US in the remainder of the first quarter of 2018.

Philips Lighting

As of December 31, 2017, Philips’ shareholding in Philips Lighting was 29.01% of Philips Lighting’s issued share capital. As a result, Philips no longer has control over Philips Lighting and has ceased to consolidate Philips Lighting. The remaining interest in Philips Lighting is presented as an investment included in ‘Assets classified as held for sale’ in the financial statements of Royal Philips as from the end of November 2017. Philips’ net income in the fourth quarter included EUR 562 million related to Philips Lighting’s results in the fourth quarter until the date of deconsolidation and a deconsolidation gain, all of which is reported in Discontinued operations.

Philips Lighting will publish results for the fourth quarter and full year 2017 on February 2, 2018.

Conference call and audio webcast

Frans van Houten, CEO, and Abhijit Bhattacharya, CFO, will host a conference call for investors and analysts at 10:00 am CET today to discuss the results. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available on the Philips Investor Relations website and can be accessed here.

1)  The year-on-year increase in net income attributable to Philips shareholders was mainly due to the further sell-down of Philips’ interest in Philips Lighting
    Comparable sales growth was 5%, driven by mid-single-digit growth in the Personal Health businesses and Diagnosis &Treatment businesses and low-single-digit growth in the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses.

 

    Comparable order intake* showed 7% growth, reflecting double-digit growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and a low-single-digit decline in the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses, as certain expected large orders were postponed to 2018.

 

    EBITA increased by EUR 37 million and the margin increased by 70 basis points compared to Q4 2016.

 

    Adjusted EBITA improved by EUR 73 million and the margin improved by 140 basis points compared to Q4 2016. The improvement was mainly attributable to higher volumes, procurement savings and other cost productivity.

 

    Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 107 million, including the charges related to the acquisition of Spectranetics, compared to EUR 63 million in Q4 2016. EBITA in Q4 2017 also included EUR 4 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business, EUR 20 million of charges related to the consent decree focused on the defibrillator manufacturing in the US, and a EUR 36 million release of a provision. Q4 2016 EBITA also included EUR 31 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business, a EUR 26 million impairment of real estate assets, a EUR 46 million gain from the settlement of a pension-related claim and a EUR 15 million net release of provisions.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA improved by EUR 81 million and the margin increased by 150 basis points compared to Q4 2016.

 

    Net financial expenses decreased by EUR 58 million year-on-year, mainly due to lower interest expenses on net debt, as a result of the bond redemptions, and dividend income related to the retained interest in the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive received in Q4 2017. Q4 2016 included a release of an interest provision related to the Masimo litigation, offset by financial charges related to the redeemed notes in January 2017.

 

    Income tax increased by EUR 76 million, mainly due to a one- time non-cash tax charge of EUR 72 million recorded in Income from continuing operations due to a valuation adjustment of Philips’ US deferred tax assets following the enactment of the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (‘US Tax Reform’) in December 2017.

 

    Discontinued operations results increased by EUR 248 million, mainly due to a EUR 599 million net gain from the deconsolidation of Lighting, partly offset by a one-time non- cash tax charge of EUR 99 million due to the US Tax Reform, a EUR 104 million charge related to the market value of the retained interest in Philips Lighting, and the exclusion of the operational results of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive from Discontinued operations following the divestment in Q2 2017.

 

    Net income increased by EUR 259 million compared to Q4 2016, driven by improvements in operational performance, lower net financial expenses and higher discontinued operations results, partly offset by higher restructuring and acquisition-related charges and total one-time non-cash tax charges of EUR 171 million due to the US Tax Reform.

Proposed distribution

A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 3, 2018, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.80 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder (up to EUR 750 million if all shareholders would elect cash), against the net income for 2017.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 7, 2018 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the stock market of Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 8, 2018.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 9, 2018 and June 1, 2018. If no choice is made during this election period the dividend will be paid in cash. On June 1, 2018 after close of trading, the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of all traded common shares Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on May 30 and 31, and June 1, 2018. The company will calculate the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share (the ratio), such that the gross dividend in shares will be approximately equal to the gross dividend in cash. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced on June 5, 2018. Payment of the dividend and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 6, 2018.

Further details will be given in the agenda for the 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

1) The year-on-year increase in net income attributable to Philips shareholders was mainly due to the further sell-down of Philips’ interest in Philips Lighting
    Comparable sales growth was 4%, driven by mid-single-digit growth in the Personal Health businesses and low-single-digit growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses. Sales in growth geographies showed high-single-digit growth, driven by double-digit growth in Middle East & Turkey and high- single-digit growth in China, Latin America and Central & Eastern Europe. Mature geographies posted low-single-digit growth, reflecting low-single-digit growth in Western Europe and North America and a low-single-digit decline in other mature geographies.

 

    Currency-comparable order intake showed 6% growth, reflecting high-single-digit growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and low-single-digit growth in the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses. On a geographic basis, growth geographies achieved high-single- digit growth, mainly driven by double-digit growth in China and Middle East & Turkey. North America and other mature geographies recorded low-single-digit growth and Western Europe was flat year-on-year.

 

    EBITA increased by EUR 80 million and the margin increased by 30 basis points compared to 2016.

 

    Adjusted EBITA improved by EUR 232 million and the margin improved by 110 basis points compared to 2016. The improvement was mainly attributable to higher volumes, procurement savings and other cost productivity.

 

    Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 316 million, including the charges related to the acquisition of Spectranetics, compared to EUR 94 million in 2016. EBITA in 2017 also included EUR 47 million of charges related to quality and regulatory actions, EUR 31 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business, EUR 26 million of charges related to the CRT litigation provision in the US, EUR 22 million of charges related to portfolio rationalization measures, EUR 20 million of charges related to the consent decree focused on the defibrillator manufacturing in the US, a EUR 59 million net gain from the sale of real estate assets, and a EUR 36 million release of a provision. EBITA in 2016 also included EUR 152 million of charges related to the separation of the Lighting business, a EUR 26 million impairment of real estate assets, a EUR 46 million gain from the settlement of a pension-related claim and a EUR 12 million net release of provisions.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA increased by EUR 219 million and the margin increased by 90 basis points compared to 2016.

 

    Net financial expenses decreased by EUR 305 million year-on- year, mainly due to lower interest expenses on net debt, as a result of the bond redemptions, and dividend income related to the retained interest in the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive. The year 2016 included financial charges related to the redeemed notes in October 2016 and January 2017, partly offset by a release of an interest provision related to the Masimo litigation. Interest expenses in 2017 were reduced by more than EUR 100 million in line with our plan.

    Income tax increased by EUR 146 million, mainly due to higher income and a one-time non-cash tax charge of EUR 72 million due to the US Tax Reform.

 

    Discontinued operations results increased by EUR 183 million, mainly due to a EUR 599 million net gain from the deconsolidation of Lighting, partly offset by a EUR 104 million charge related to the market value of the retained interest in Philips Lighting, a one-time non-cash tax charge of EUR 99 million due to the US Tax Reform, and the exclusion of the operational results of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive from Discontinued operations following the divestment in Q2 2017. The year 2016 included the Funai arbitration award.

 

    Net income increased by EUR 379 million compared to 2016, driven by improvements in operational performance, lower net financial expenses and higher discontinued operations results, partly offset by higher restructuring and acquisition-related charges and higher income taxes, which included a total one-time non-cash tax charge of EUR 171 million due to the US Tax Reform.

Forward-looking statements and other important information

 

Forward-looking statements

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 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: global economic and business conditions; developments within the euro zone; the successful implementation of Philips’ strategy and the ability to realize the benefits of this strategy; the ability to develop and market new products; changes in legislation; legal claims; changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates; future changes in tax rates and regulations, including tax reform in the US; pension costs and actuarial assumptions; changes in raw materials prices; changes in employee costs; the ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions, and to integrate those acquisitions into the business, including Spectranetics; the ability to successfully exit certain businesses or restructure the operations; the rate of technological changes; cyber-attacks, breaches of cybersecurity, political, economic and other developments in countries where Philips operates; industry consolidation and competition; and the state of international capital markets as they may affect the timing and nature of the disposal by Philips of its remaining interests in Philips Lighting. 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 the Risk management chapter included in the Annual Report 2016.

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-GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips Group financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non- GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-GAAP 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-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further information on non-GAAP measures can be found in the Annual Report 2016. Comparable order intake and Adjusted EBITDA are measures included to enhance comparability with other companies.

Use of fair-value measurements

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 2016 and Semi-Annual Report 2017. Incertain 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 accounting policies as stated in the Annual Report 2016, unless otherwise stated.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP information

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented when discussing the Philips Group’s performance:

 

    Comparable sales growth

 

    EBIT

 

    EBITA

 

    Adjusted EBITA

 

    Adjusted EBITDA

 

    Free cash flow

 

    Net debt : group equity ratio

 

    Comparable order intake

The term EBIT has the same meaning as Income from operations.

Adjusted EBITA is defined as Income from operations (EBIT) excluding amortization of intangible assets (excluding software and development expenses), impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs and other significant items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Income from operations (EBIT) excluding amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs and other significant items.

Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are comprised of the purchase of intangible assets, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment.

Net debt : group equity ratio is presented to express the financial strength of the Company. Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Group equity is defined as the sum of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests.

Comparable order intake is reported for equipment and software and is defined as the total contractually committed amount to be delivered within a specified timeframe excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. Comparable order intake does not derive from the financial statements and thus a quantitative reconciliation is not provided.

For the definitions of the remaining non-GAAP financial measures listed above, refer to the Annual Report 2016.

In the following tables, reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures are presented.
