Frans van Houten, CEO:


“Philips heeft in het tweede kwartaal van 2017 solide resultaten geboekt. De vergelijkbare omzet van onze HealthTech-activiteiten is met 4% gegroeid, voornamelijk dankzij West-Europa, Noord-Amerika en China, en de orderontvangst is met 8% sterk toegenomen. De gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge is met 90 basispunten verbeterd, voornamelijk als gevolg van hogere volumes, operationele verbeteringen en kostenproductiviteit.

 

Onze Personal Health-activiteiten hebben in het tweede kwartaal opnieuw uitstekend gepresteerd met een vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 6% en een verbetering van de gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge met 120 basispunten. In een zwakke markt realiseerden onze Diagnosis & Treatment- activiteiten een solide vergelijkbare omzetgroei van 3%, een sterke groei van de orderontvangst en een operationele verbetering met 80 basispunten. Onze Connected Care & Health Informatics-activiteiten boekten een toename van de gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge van 90 basispunten. Gezien hun goedgevulde orderportefeuille heb ik er alle vertrouwen in dat de resultaten van deze activiteiten in de tweede helft van het jaar verder zullen verbeteren.

 

In het tweede kwartaal hebben we ons portfolio uitgebreid met een aantal gerichte acquisities die we in de afgelopen twee jaar in kaart hebben gebracht. Zo hebben we, om de leidende positie van onze Image-Guided Therapy-activiteiten verder te versterken en hun portfolio van therapiesystemen uit te breiden, een overeenkomst gesloten voor de acquisitie van Spectranetics, een marktleider op het gebied van vasculaire interventie en leadmanagement-oplossingen. Verder werd de Amerikaanse startup CardioProlific overgenomen. Dit bedrijf ontwikkelt trombectomie-technologie voor de behandeling van perifere vasculaire aandoeningen met behulp van katheters. Ik ben tevreden over de voortgang van verschillende initiatieven die we hebben ontplooid voor autonome groei, zoals de door de FDA verstrekte toestemming voor onze uitgebreide Digital Pathology-oplossing ten behoeve van primair diagnostisch gebruik in de VS. Daarnaast hebben we de Lumileds-transactie afgerond en ons belang in Philips Lighting teruggebracht naar netto 41,16%.

 

In lijn met ons beleid inzake de toewijzing van kapitaal, dat gericht is op een uitgebalanceerde mix van investeringen in autonome en anorganische groeimogelijkheden, een efficiëntere balans en rendement voor onze aandeelhouders, hebben we een nieuw aandeleninkoopprogramma van EUR 1,5 miljard aangekondigd, dat in het derde kwartaal van dit jaar van start zal gaan. Met dit programma zullen we het verwateringseffect ruimschoots teniet doen dat is ontstaan door Philips’ Long-Term Incentive (LTI)-programma's en dividend in aandelen. Ondanks aanhoudende volatiliteit binnen de markten waarin we opereren blijven onze vooruitzichten voor 2017 ongewijzigd, waarbij we verwachten dat verdere verbetering van onze operationele resultaten en groei van de vergelijkbare omzet met name later in het jaar zichtbaar worden, mede dankzij een goedgevulde orderportefeuille.

 

We liggen op koers om onze doelstellingen te realiseren van 4-6% groei van de vergelijkbare omzet en een verbetering van de gecorrigeerde EBITA-marge met circa 100 basispunten per jaar.”


Business segments

 

The 6% comparable sales growth of the Personal Health businesses was driven by double-digit growth in Health & Wellness, high-single-digit growth in Personal Care and mid-single-digit growth in Sleep & Respiratory Care; the Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 120 basis points. The 3% comparable sales growth of the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses was driven by mid-single-digit growth in Ultrasound and Image-Guided Therapy, while the Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 80 basis points. Comparable order intake increased by 7%, with all business groups contributing. In the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses, comparable sales increased by 1%, reflecting low-single-digit growth in Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions. The Adjusted EBITA margin was 90 basis points higher than in the same period last year. Comparable order intake increased by 8%.

 

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

  • Building on its portfolio of long-term strategic partnerships, Philips signed multiple new agreements in the quarter. For example, Philips has partnered with the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings to provide its new oncology center with a range of Philips’ advanced diagnostic imaging systems, combined with clinical informatics and services for a multi-year term. Philips also signed a new 10-year Managed Equipment Services agreement for patient monitoring solutions with Le Confluent, one of the top three private hospitals in France for cardiovascular care.
  • Demonstrating further progress on advanced data analytics, Philips received FDA clearance for its IntelliSpace Portal 9.0 and a range of innovative applications for radiology. The platform gives clinicians a comprehensive view of each patient, helping them to diagnose conditions. Further highlighting its leadership in health informatics, Philips signed several multi-year agreements with hospitals in the US to provide them with enterprise imaging informatics solutions.
  • Philips’ IntelliSite Pathology Solution is currently the only digital pathology solution in the US to receive FDA clearance for primary diagnostic use. This achievement reinforces Philips’ leadership in digital pathology, a solution that is central to the diagnosis of complex diseases such as cancer.
  • Building on its leadership in power toothbrushes, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart pilot with top Chinese online retailer JD.com reached a 94% rating (out of a full score of 100%), with consumers highlighting the benefits of the coaching app and the premium design.
  • Strengthening its Personal Health businesses, Philips acquired UK-based Health & Parenting, a leading developer of mobile applications for expectant and new parents, used by one in two expectant mothers in the UK. The company also signed an agreement to acquire Respiratory Technologies, a US-based provider of an innovative airway clearance solution for patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
  • To further strengthen its Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Philips signed an agreement to acquire Spectranetics. Its highly complementary portfolio, including laser atherectomy catheters, the AngioSculptX drug-coated scoring balloon and the Stellarex drug-coated balloon, will support Philips’ expansion in image-guided therapy devices. Furthermore, to reinforce its leadership position in ultrasound, Philips acquired TomTec Imaging Systems, a leading provider of clinical applications and intelligent image-analysis software.

 

Cost savings

 

In the second quarter, procurement savings amounted to EUR 61 million. Other productivity programs resulted in savings of EUR 48 million.

 

Capital Allocation

 

As announced on June 28, 2017, Philips will launch a share buyback program for an amount of EUR 1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2017, to be completed in two years. As the program will be initiated for capital reduction purposes, Philips intends to cancel all of the shares acquired under the program. Philips intends to execute part of the program through a series of individual forward transactions, unevenly distributed over the two-year period.

 

In July 2017, Philips made a contribution of USD 250 million to the Philips US pension fund to further improve the funding ratio. This will further decrease Philips’ interest costs going forward.

 

Miscellaneous

 

As previously reported, Philips continues to be in discussions on a civil matter with the US Department of Justice representing the FDA, arising from past inspections by the FDA in and prior to 2015, focusing primarily on the external defibrillator business in the US.

 

Philips Lighting

 

On April 25, 2017, Philips sold 22.25 million shares in Philips Lighting, of which 3.5 million shares were acquired by Philips Lighting and were cancelled. Philips’ shareholding in Philips Lighting decreased to 40.97% of Philips Lighting’s issued and outstanding share capital, down from 55.18% prior to the transaction. In addition, in Q2 2017, Philips Lighting acquired 0.65 million of its own shares in connection with its long-term incentive programs. As of June 30, 2017, Philips’ shareholding in Philips Lighting was 41.16% of the issued and outstanding share capital. Philips continues to consolidate Philips Lighting under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As loss of control is highly probable within one year due to further sell-downs, Philips Lighting is presented as a discontinued operation in the financial statements of Philips as of the second quarter of 2017. Full details about the financial performance of Philips Lighting in the second quarter were published on July 21, 2017. The related report can be accessed here.

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 EBITA, future developments in Philips’ organic business and the completion of acquisitions and divestments, including the tender offer for and merger with Spectranetics. 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: domestic and 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 exchange and interest rates; changes in tax rates; pension costs and actuarial assumptions; raw materials and employee costs; the ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions, including Spectranetics, and to integrate those acquisitions into the business; the ability to successfully exit certain businesses or restructure the operations; the rate of technological changes; 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 disposition by Philips of its 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 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. Independent valuations may have been obtained to support management’s determination of fair values.
