Chiffres clés du troisième trimestre Frans van Houten, CEO: « Il est clair que la pandémie du COVID-19 est loin d'être terminée. Nos équipes restent entièrement concentrées sur la réalisation de notre triple devoir de vigilance : répondre aux besoins critiques de nos clients, préserver la santé et la sécurité de nos employés, et assurer la continuité de nos activités. Je suis heureux car, malgré des circonstances difficiles, nous avons pu réaliser nos projets et renouer avec la croissance et l'amélioration de la rentabilité du groupe au cours du troisième trimestre. Grâce à la conversion réussie du carnet de commandes de « Connected Care » pour les moniteurs de surveillance et les ventilateurs médicaux et à une forte augmentation de la demande pour notre portefeuille « Personal Health », Philips a enregistré une forte croissance de 10 % de ses ventes à périmètre comparable et enregistre une amélioration de 300 points de base de sa marge d'EBITA ajusté, qui s'établit à 15,4 %. À périmètre comparable, les activités « Connected Care » ont enregistré une très forte croissance des ventes de 42 % et nos activités « Personal Health » ont affiché une bonne croissance des ventes de 6 %. Je suis encouragé par l'amélioration des performances de nos activités « Diagnosis & Treatment »,qui a enregistré une baisse de son chiffre d'affaires à périmètre comparable de moins de 5 %, après une baisse de moins de 10 % au trimestre précédent. En août, nous annoncions la rupture partielle et inattendue du contrat de Philips pour les ventilateurs médicaux d'avril 2020 avec le Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) aux USA . En conséquence, nous avons enregistré une baisse des commandes pour le Groupe de 18 % à périmètre comparable. Sans tenir compte de cette résiliation partielle, les commandes ont augmenté de 3 %, poursuivant ainsi la forte croissance des trimestres précédents. Le travail que nous accomplissons pour soutenir les prestataires de soins de santé et le personnel médical dans le cadre du COVID-19 et des soins réguliers reste notre priorité absolue chez Philips. En étroite collaboration avec nos fournisseurs et partenaires, nous avons considérablement augmenté les volumes de production des produits et solutions pour aider à diagnostiquer, traiter, surveiller et gérer les patients COVID-19. Nous avons lancé un nouveau Rapid Equipment Deployment Kit pourpour renforcer les soins dans les unités de soins intensifs, permettant au personnel hospitalier de gérer rapidement l'augmentation des besoins de suivi des patients. Philips a conclu 11 partenariats stratégiques à long terme avec des hôpitaux aux États-Unis, en Europe et en Asie afin d'améliorer les soins aux patients et la productivité des prestataires de soins. Nous avons annoncé un nouveau partenariat pluriannuel avec le Tampa General Hospital, l'un des plus grands hôpitaux des États-Unis, pour remplacer tous ses moniteurs de surveillance des patients et mettre à niveau les principales technologies d'imagerie dans les laboratoires de cathétérisme et les salles de radiologie interventionnelle. Nous leur fournirons également des solutions de workflowuniques et des services de gestion des performances opérationnelles. En ce qui concerne l'avenir, nous sommes toujours confrontés à l'incertitude et à la volatilité liées à l'impact du COVID-19 dans le monde mais notre carnet de commandes reste bien rempli. Pour l'ensemble de l'année 2020, nous nous attendons à une croissance modeste des ventes à périmètre comparable avec une amélioration de la marge d'EBITA ajusté proche du niveau de l'année dernière. »
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]: *) Le 31 août 2020, Philips annonçait la rupture partielle de son contrat d'avril 2020 pour les ventilateurs médicaux avec le Département de la Santé et des Services sociaux des États-Unis (HHS). [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%.

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.
