Frans van Houten, CEO

“I am encouraged that the three business segments together delivered 4% comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of 120 basis points in the fourth quarter, despite a more challenging environment. This performance was partly offset by lower IP royalties compared to Q4 2018, resulting in 3% comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of 50 basis points for the Group. Comparable order intake grew a further 3%, on the back of strong 10% growth in Q4 2018.

For the full year, we are pleased to have grown the company to EUR 19.5 billion sales with 4.5% comparable sales growth, achieving a free cash flow of more than EUR 1 billion, and increasing adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations by 15%. Our profitability improvement of 10 basis points for the year fell short of our plan, partly due to headwinds.

Looking ahead at 2020 we continue to see geopolitical and economic risks. We aim for 4-6% comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of around 100 basis points, with a performance momentum that is expected to improve in the course of the year.”

Business segment performance

In the fourth quarter, all business segments delivered growth and increased profitability.

The Diagnosis & Treatment businesses recorded 5% comparable sales growth in the quarter, driven by high-single-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy and mid-single-digit growth in Ultrasound. Comparable order intake showed a low-single-digit increase on the back of high-single-digit growth in Q4 2018. The order intake growth was driven by double-digit growth in China and Western Europe. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 16.3%, mainly due to sales growth, partly offset by investments and tariffs. For the full year, the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses delivered 5% comparable sales growth and an increased Adjusted EBITA margin of 12.7%.

The Connected Care businesses delivered 2% comparable sales growth in the quarter, driven by mid-single-digit growth in Monitoring & Analytics. Comparable order intake showed a mid-single-digit increase, driven by double-digit growth in North America and China. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 19.4%, mainly due to sales growth and productivity, partly offset by the impact of tariffs. For the full year, the Connected Care businesses delivered 3% comparable sales growth and the Adjusted EBITA margin decreased to 13.2%.

The Personal Health businesses delivered comparable sales growth of 4% in the quarter, driven by double-digit growth in Oral Healthcare and mid-single-digit growth in Personal Care. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 20.1%, mainly due to sales growth, a positive mix impact and productivity, partly offset by tariffs. For the full year, the Personal Health businesses delivered 5% comparable sales growth and an increase in Adjusted EBITA margin to 16.1%.

Philips’ ongoing focus on innovation and strategic partnerships to make the world healthier and more sustainable resulted in the following highlights in the quarter and the full year:

  • In 2019, Philips’ products and solutions improved the lives of 1.64 billion people, compared to 1.54 billion in 2018; this includes 194 million people in underserved communities, compared to 175 million in 2018. Additionally, for the seventh consecutive year Philips was ranked on CDP's Climate Change A-list in recognition of its actions to reduce emissions, mitigate climate risks and develop the low-carbon economy. Philips is the first health technology company to have committed to become carbon-neutral in its operations by 2020.
  • Philips entered into several new long-term strategic partnerships, including a 5-year partnership with the Regional Medical Center in South Carolina to provide diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapy solutions to innovate patient care. Philips also announced a 5-year agreement with US-based Inspira Health to standardize patient monitoring and drive innovation in diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapies in order to enhance patient care and improve clinical workflow performance.
  • Driven by Philips’ innovative portfolio of diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy and patient monitoring solutions, the company continues to win large contracts in China. For example, Philips signed an agreement with the Xi’an International Medical Group to deliver solutions to address clinical and research needs in cardiology, radiation oncology and critical care.
  • Philips continues to set the standard in integrated solutions for image-guided therapy with the expansion of its Azurion platform with FlexArm and the seamless integration of its smart catheters in the platform. The successful launch of Azurion in China and expansion of its smart catheter offering in Europe and Asia contributed to double-digit comparable sales and order intake growth for the Image-Guided Therapy business in 2019.
  • Demonstrating the success of Philips’ telehealth solutions for critical care, US-based Health First achieved significant results by using Philips’ acute telehealth platform. Powered by Philips’ eCareManager, Health First’s VitalWatch eICU achieved a 23% reduction in overall mortality, a 49% reduction in ICU length of stay, and a 35% reduction in length of stay across its four hospitals.
  • Philips expanded its General Care solutions portfolio with the launch of the EarlyVue VS30 in the US. This new vital signs monitor uses automated Early Warning Scoring (EWS) to collect critical vital signs and calculate risk-based alerts that allow clinicians to identify subtle signs of patient deterioration and facilitate communication between caregivers for timely intervention and patient care.
  • Building on the success of Philips’ leading oral care solutions, the company rolled out the BrushSmart program in collaboration with Delta Dental of California, the largest provider of dental benefits in the US. The subscription-based program includes a discounted Sonicare toothbrush, coaching and teledentistry, and connects brushing behaviors at home with professional dental care to better understand, motivate and drive improvements in oral health.
  • The global roll-out of Philips’ premium Shaver S9000 Prestige with BeardAdapt Sensor, which adapts the shaver automatically to the user’s hair, and mid-range Shaver S7000 with a personalized solution for sensitive skin, continues to result in positive user reviews and supported strong performance of the Male Grooming business in the quarter.

Domestic Appliances review

Philips announced this morning that it will review options for future ownership of the Domestic Appliances business, and start the process of creating a separate legal structure for this business. The Domestic Appliances business is a global leader with EUR 2.3 billion sales in 2019 in kitchen appliances, coffee, garment care and home care appliances.

Frans van Houten: “The Domestic Appliances business has significantly contributed to Philips, but it is not a strategic fit for our future as a health technology leader, as we choose to further sharpen our focus along the health continuum and invest in our consumer health and professional healthcare-related businesses.”

Executive Committee management changes

Roy Jakobs, currently Chief Business Leader of the Personal Health businesses, has been appointed as the new Chief Business Leader of the Connected Care businesses with immediate effect. He succeeds Carla Kriwet, who will leave the company.

Frans van Houten: “On behalf of Philips’ Executive Committee, I want to thank Carla for her contributions to Philips, and wish her the best in her future endeavors. At the same time, I am pleased to announce Roy as the new leader of the Connected Care businesses and would like to highlight his global leadership experience, with a strong business performance record, and accomplishments in strategy, digital innovation and new business development in the business-to-consumer and business-to-business domains.”

A successor for the Personal Health Chief Business Leader role will be announced in due course. Philips CEO Frans van Houten will lead the Personal Health businesses on an interim basis.

Cost savings

In the fourth quarter of 2019, cost savings totaled EUR 125 million, with procurement savings of EUR 39 million and savings from overhead and other productivity programs of EUR 86 million, resulting in annual savings of EUR 480 million in 2019.

Capital allocation

As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, Philips has completed 41.5% of its EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes that was announced on January 29, 2019. Further details can be found here.

In the quarter, Philips completed the cancellation of 8.5 million shares that were acquired as part of the share buyback program mentioned above.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, the total number of issued shares outstanding was 890,973,790 shares, compared to 914,184,087 shares at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018.

Regulatory update

Philips continues to address the follow-up requests of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of its efforts to fulfill its obligations under the Consent Decree1) and remains in dialogue with the agency.

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) Under the Consent Decree, Philips continues to export its range of AED devices and manufacture and distribute its HS1/OnSite/Home automated external defibrillator (AED) model in the US. The company may also continue to service the AEDs provided that certain conditions are met and provide consumables and the relevant accessories.

Proposed distribution

A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on April 30, 2020, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder (up to EUR 761 million if all shareholders would elect cash), against the net income for 2019.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 5, 2020 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 6, 2020.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 7 and 29, 2020. If no choice is made during this election period the dividend will be paid in cash. On May 29, 2019 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 27, 28 and 29, 2020. 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 3, 2020. Payment of the dividend and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 4, 2020.

Further details will be given in the agenda with explanatory notes for the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

  • Comparable sales growth was 4%, with mid-single-digit growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Personal Health businesses and low-single-digit growth in the Connected Care businesses. Sales in growth geographies showed double-digit growth, driven by double-digit growth in China. Mature geographies recorded low-single-digit growth, with mid-single-digit growth in North America and low-single-digit growth in Western Europe, partly offset by a low-single-digit decline in other mature geographies, mainly due to higher IP royalty income recorded in Q4 2018.
  • Comparable order intake showed 3% growth, with mid-single-digit growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and a low-single-digit decline in the Connected Care businesses. On a geographic basis, growth geographies achieved double-digit growth, mainly driven by double-digit growth in China and Latin America. Mature geographies recorded a low-single-digit decline, with mid-single-digit growth in Western Europe and low-single-digit growth in other mature geographies, offset by a mid-single-digit decline in North America.
  • Adjusted EBITA increased by EUR 197 million and the margin improved by 10 basis points compared to 2018, mainly due to sales growth and productivity, partly offset by lower IP royalty income, tariffs and investments.
  • Restructuring, acquisition-related and other charges amounted to EUR 471 million, compared to EUR 299 million in 2018. 2019 includes a gain related to the sale of the Photonics business in Germany, charges of EUR 99 million related to a value adjustment of capitalized development costs, a charge related to a litigation provision and a provision of EUR 22 million related to legal matters. 2018 included a gain of EUR 43 million related to a divestment.
  • Net financial expenses decreased by EUR 96 million year-on-year, mainly due to dividend income, while 2018 included financial charges of EUR 46 million related to bond redemptions.

  • Net income increased by EUR 76 million compared to 2018, mainly due to improvements in operational performance, lower net financial expenses and lower charges related to discontinued operations, partly offset by higher income tax expense and charges of EUR 129 million related to impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets.

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 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.

These factors include but are not limited to: changes in industry or market circumstances; economic and political developments; Philips’ increasing focus on health technology; the realization of Philips’ growth ambitions and results in growth geographies; 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 2018.

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 2018.

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 2018. 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 accounting policies as stated in the Annual Report 2018, except for IFRS 16 lease accounting, which is implemented per January 1, 2019 and the adoption of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments effective January 1, 2019, resulting in a balance sheet reclassification. In addition, certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

As announced on January 10, 2019, Philips has realigned the composition of its reporting segments effective as of January 1, 2019. The most notable changes are the shifts of the Sleep & Respiratory Care business from the Personal Health segment to the renamed Connected Care segment and most of the Healthcare Informatics business from the renamed Connected Care segment to the Diagnosis & Treatment segment. Accordingly, the comparative figures have been restated. The restatement has been published on the Philips Investor Relations website and can be accessed here.
