Frans van Houten, CEO:

“The fourth quarter of 2013 was another good quarter for Philips, despite the challenging economic environment and ongoing currency headwinds. In the quarter, Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle both delivered strong comparable sales growth of 8%. At Healthcare, comparable sales increased by 4%, while order intake declined 1% as a result of weak markets in the US and Europe. The operational profitability of all sectors improved substantially, driven by good sales growth, gross margin expansion of 2 percentage points and productivity gains, all coming from the Accelerate! program.

We achieved the mid-term financial targets we had set in 2011, thanks to the hard work of our employees. We delivered a compound annual growth rate for comparable sales over the period 2012–2013 of 4.5%, compared to our target of 4-6%, and did so in a lower GDP growth environment than originally anticipated. Our reported EBITA as a percentage of sales was 10.5%, within our target range of 10-12%, which we achieved despite currency headwinds and changed pension accounting. We also significantly improved our return on invested capital to 15.3%, above the target range of 12-14%.

We are making excellent progress on our Accelerate! journey. We continue to invest in growth opportunities and the Philips brand. Our overhead cost reduction program has resulted in EUR 1 billion of total gross savings to date. We reduced our inventory as a percentage of sales by 260 basis points from 2011 to 2013. Through our Design for Excellence (DfX) program we remain focused on improving gross margins. These ongoing initiatives, as well as the launch of our new brand campaign and our focus on innovation, continue to make Philips a better and more competitive company.


We introduced the EPIQ Ultrasound system, the Vereos digital PET/CT system and the IQon Spectral CT system, which we expect will have a positive effect on future orders for our health care business. Building on our consumer portfolio of locally relevant innovations, we experienced strong growth in China as well as in Europe, driven by higher demand for our home appliances, such as the Air Purifier and Airfryer. As the leading professional lighting solutions and services provider, Philips won a 10-year contract to deliver and service an integrated digital lighting system with 13,000 connected LED fixtures and adaptive energy management controls for parking garages in Washington, DC. We also won a major order to renovate most of Buenos Aires’ 125,000 street lights with the CityTouch connected LED system. Our new innovations received a record 100-plus design awards in 2013.

Achieving the 2013 financial targets was an important milestone and we have now set our sights on reaching our 2016 targets. We are confident in our ability to further improve our performance by continuing the strong focus on our Accelerate! transformation program. Looking at 2014, we remain cautious because of ongoing macro-economic uncertainties, currency headwinds and softer order intake in Q4 2013. Therefore, we expect that 2014 will be a modest step towards our 2016 targets, also taking into account restructuring to drive the new productivity targets and investments in additional growth initiatives.”

Net income

 

 

Net income amounted to EUR 412 million, compared to a net loss of EUR 420 million in Q4 2012. The year-on-year improvement reflects better operational results and lower restructuring charges in 2013, while 2012 net income was impacted by the European Commission fine and charges related to various legal matters.

 

 

EBITA amounted to EUR 884 million, or 13.0% of sales, compared to a loss of EUR 50 million in Q4 2012. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 31 million in Q4 2013, compared with EUR 348 million in Q4 2012. Q4 2012 EBITA was further impacted by an amount of EUR 313 million for the European Commission fine and EUR 154 million related to various legal matters as well as the loss on the sale of industrial assets.

 

 

EBITA, excluding restructuring and other charges, improved to EUR 915 million, or 13.5% of sales, compared to EUR 765 million, or 11.3% of sales, in Q4 2012. All sectors contributed to the improved earnings.

 

 

EBIT amounted to EUR 713 million and includes impairment charges related to intangible assets, mainly consisting of EUR 58 million in Consumer Luminaires at Lighting and EUR 29 million in Imaging Systems at Healthcare.

 

 

Tax charges were EUR 141 million higher than in Q4 2012, mainly due to higher taxable earnings.

 

 

Results from investments in associates showed a loss of EUR 46 million, which includes a provision for the net impact of expected payments related to the agreed transfer of the remaining 30% stake in the TP Vision joint venture. Q4 2012 included EUR 196 million of charges related to Philips’ portion of the European Commission fine with respect to the former LG.Philips Displays joint venture.

 

 

Income from discontinued operations decreased by EUR 25 million.

Healthcare EBITA increased by EUR 130 million year-on-year. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EBITA improved by EUR 13 million, driven by overhead cost reductions.

 

 

Consumer Lifestyle EBITA increased by EUR 60 million year-on-year. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EBITA improved by EUR 35 million. The higher EBITA was largely attributable to improved gross margins across all businesses.

 

 

Lighting EBITA increased by EUR 246 million year-on-year. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges and the loss on the sale of industrial assets of EUR 22 million, EBITA improved by EUR 61 million, driven by higher gross margins and overhead cost reductions.

 

 

Innovation, Group & Services EBITA amounted to a net cost of EUR 62 million. The EBITA net cost of EUR 560 million in Q4 2012 included a EUR 313 million impact of the European Commission fine and EUR 132 million of provisions related to various legal matters. EBITA, excluding restructuring and other charges, improved by EUR 41 million compared to Q4 2012, mainly due to higher IP royalty income.

Financial income and expenses

 

 

Financial income and expenses amounted to a net expense of EUR 77 million, an increase of EUR 38 million compared with Q4 2012. The increase mainly reflects the impact of a EUR 46 million gain from long-term derivative contracts in Q4 2012 and lower interest expense in Q4 2013.

Cash balance

 

 

The Group cash balance increased during Q4 2013 to EUR 2,465 million. A free cash inflow of EUR 608 million was partly offset by a EUR 112 million outflow mainly related to debt redemption, and by the use of EUR 57 million in treasury shares transactions, primarily for our share buy-back program.

 

 

In Q4 2012, the cash balance increased to EUR 3,834 million, mainly due to a free cash inflow of EUR 753 million, partly offset by the use of EUR 191 million in treasury shares transactions, primarily for our share buy-back program.

Cash flows from operating activities

 

 

Operating activities resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 905 million, compared to an inflow of EUR 1,056 million in Q4 2012. Higher cash earnings in Q4 2013 were more than offset by higher working capital requirements.

Gross capital expenditure

 

 

Gross capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment were EUR 31 million lower than in Q4 2012, mainly due to lower investments at Lighting and IG&S.

Inventories

 

 

Inventory value at the end of Q4 2013 was EUR 3.2 billion and amounted to 13.9% of sales.

 

 

Compared to Q4 2012, inventories as a percentage of sales improved by 0.4 percentage points. This was driven by reductions at all businesses, most notably Consumer Lifestyle.

Net debt and group equity

 

 

At the end of Q4 2013, Philips had a net debt position of EUR 1.4 billion, compared to EUR 0.7 billion at the end of Q4 2012. During the quarter, the net debt position decreased by EUR 596 million, largely due to a free cash inflow of EUR 608 million.

 

 

Group equity increased by EUR 276 million in the quarter to EUR 11.2 billion. The increase was largely a result of net income earned during the period, partially offset by negative currency translation effects.

Employees

 

 

Compared to Q4 2012, the number of employees decreased by 1,393. This decrease includes 705 employees from divestments. Excluding divestments, the number of employees decreased by 688, mainly due to the company’s overhead reduction program and the industrial footprint rationalization at Lighting.

 

 

The number of employees increased by 363 in the quarter, largely due to increases in Asia Pacific, partly offset by industrial footprint rationalization at Lighting and divestments at Healthcare.

Business highlights

 

 

Building on its innovation leadership, Philips introduced the all-new Vereos digital PET/CT system, with a twofold increase in resolution compared to analog (e.g. Philips Gemini TF16), resulting in high image quality and increased accuracy to improve diagnostic confidence, treatment planning and workflows. Philips also introduced the IQon system, the first spectral detector CT that uses color to enable a more definitive diagnosis in a single scan for faster imaging results.* At RSNA, Philips received the prestigious “Best in KLAS” award for overall performance leader in imaging equipment.

 

 

As a leading innovator in image-guided interventions and therapy, Philips has expanded its product portfolio with InfraredX’s catheter-based imaging system and teamed up with RealView Imaging to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D holographic imaging in interventional cardiology.

 

 

Philips has partnered with Mercy, one of the earliest providers of telehealth - the remote monitoring and management of patients and one of the fastest growing care delivery models - to expand its health care system’s telehealth services and acute care beds fourfold by 2017.

 

 

Philips has strengthened its respiratory drug delivery innovation capabilities and home care product portfolio through a technology license agreement with Aerogen and the acquisition of its home-care portable nebulizer product range.

 

 

Continuing its commitment to improve access to care in Africa, Philips announced a new partnership with AMREF Flying Doctors and the support of a maternal and newborn health study in Uganda, which demonstrated how rural access to ultrasound screenings results in better quality of care.

 

* The IQon system is pending 510k clearance in the US

Financial performance

 

 

Currency-comparable equipment orders declined 1% year-on-year. Patient Care & Clinical Informatics recorded low-single-digit growth, while Imaging Systems posted a low-single-digit decline.

 

 

Q4 2013 Quarterly report            9


 

Equipment order intake in growth geographies showed low-single-digit growth, mainly due to strong growth in China and Latin America, which was partially offset by a double-digit decline in Russia & Central Asia. North America showed low-single-digit growth, while Western Europe recorded a double-digit decline and other mature geographies achieved high-single-digit growth.

 

 

Healthcare comparable sales showed 4% growth year-on-year. Customer Services achieved high-single-digit growth, while Home Healthcare Solutions posted mid-single-digit growth. Imaging Systems and Patient Care & Clinical Informatics recorded low-single-digit growth.

Western Europe recorded low-single-digit growth, while other mature geographies achieved mid-single-digit growth and North America recorded a 1% decline.

 

 

EBITA amounted to EUR 541 million, or 19.1% of sales, compared to EUR 411 million, or 14.1% of sales, in Q4 2012.

 

 

Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EBITA amounted to EUR 538 million, or 19.0% of sales, compared to EUR 525 million, or 18.0% of sales, in Q4 2012. The increase was mainly due to overhead cost reductions.

 

 

EBIT amounted to EUR 477 million, including a EUR 29 million impairment charge related to intangible assets at Imaging Systems.

 

 

Inventories as a percentage of sales improved by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year.

 

 

Net operating capital, excluding a negative currency translation effect of EUR 472 million, decreased by EUR 67 million to EUR 7.4 billion. This decrease was largely driven by lower fixed assets.

 

 

Compared to Q4 2012, the number of employees decreased by 452. This decrease includes 705 employees from divestments, partially offset by an increase in the sales force in Asia Pacific.

Miscellaneous

 

 

Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q1 2014 are expected to total approximately EUR 25 million.

 

 

10            Q4 2013 Quarterly report


 

In our Healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio, certain issues in the general area of manufacturing process controls were identified during an ongoing US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection. To address these issues, on January 10 we started a voluntary, temporary suspension of new production at the facility, primarily to strengthen manufacturing process controls. Currently, there is no indication of product safety issues. This action is estimated to have a negative impact on the sector’s EBITA of approximately EUR 60 to 70 million in the first half of 2014, of which we expect to recover a substantial part in the second half of 2014.

Geographical expansion and localization of product innovations drove strong growth in Domestic Appliances. China continued to perform above expectations, with increasing consumer demand for Philips Air Purifiers and locally relevant kitchen appliances, including Philips Rice Cookers and Noodle Makers.

For the sixth consecutive year, Philips has been ranked first among the 40 largest publicly listed Dutch companies benchmarked for Responsible Supply Chain Management by The Dutch Association of Investors for Sustainable Development (VBDO).

Financial performance

 

 

Sales increased from EUR 194 million in Q4 2012 to EUR 237 million in Q4 2013, due to higher IP royalties related to one-time patent settlements in our Blu-ray and TV licensing programs.

 

 

EBITA amounted to a net cost of EUR 62 million, including EUR 7 million of net restructuring charges (Q4 2012: EUR 19 million). The EBITA net cost of EUR 560 million in Q4 2012 included a EUR 313 million impact of the European Commission fine and EUR 132 million of provisions related to various legal matters.

 

 

EBITA, excluding restructuring charges, the European Commission fine and the provisions related to various legal matters, improved by EUR 41 million compared to Q4 2012, mainly due to higher IP royalty income.

 

 

EBITA of Service Units and Other included EUR 21 million of net costs formerly reported in discontinued businesses (Q4 2012 included EUR 13 million related to the Audio, Video, Multimedia, and Accessories business and EUR 3 million related to the Television business).

Net operating capital, excluding a positive currency translation effect of EUR 110 million and the European Commission fine of EUR 509 million, increased by EUR 959 million year-on-year, mainly due to an increase in working capital, a decrease in pension liabilities, an increase in the value of currency hedges as well as a reclassification of real estate assets from the sectors to the Service Units.

 

 

Compared to Q4 2012, the number of employees increased by 1,081, primarily driven by a shift of employees to central Human Resource and Research activities as well as an increase in temporary workers in the IT Service Units.

Miscellaneous

 

 

For 2014, we expect an increase in restructuring expenses of approximately EUR 30 million, a decrease in IP royalty income of around EUR 90 million, and an increase in investments related to Accelerate! and new growth adjacencies of around EUR 20 million.

 

 

Restructuring charges in Q1 2014 are expected to total approximately EUR 10 million.

The Audio, Video, Multimedia and Accessories (AVM&A) business is reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of income and Consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior-period comparative figures have been restated accordingly. Consequently, AVM&A sales and EBITA are no longer included in the Consumer Lifestyle and Group results of continuing operations. Since Q1 2013, the applicable assets and liabilities of this business are reported under Assets and Liabilities classified as held for sale in the Consolidated balance sheet.

Philips had reached an agreement to transfer the AVM&A business to Funai Electric Co. Ltd in Q1 2013. This agreement was terminated on October 25, 2013. Since then, Philips has received expressions of interest in the business from various parties, both strategic and financial investors, and has been actively discussing the sale of the business with potential buyers. In the meantime, the AVM&A business operates as a stand-alone entity named WOOX Innovations. Consequently, the AVM&A business is reported as discontinued operations throughout 2013.

The net income of discontinued operations attributable to the AVM&A business decreased from a net profit of EUR 20 million in Q4 2012 to a net loss of EUR 17 million in Q4 2013, due to lower operational results and higher disentanglement costs, partly offset by lower income taxes.

EBITA in Q4 2013 included EUR 17 million of restructuring charges (Q4 2012: EUR 10 million).

The full-year net income of discontinued operations attributable to the AVM&A business decreased from EUR 78 million in 2012 to EUR 3 million in 2013, due to lower operational results and higher disentanglement costs, partly offset by lower income taxes.

EBITA in 2013 included EUR 16 million of restructuring charges. EBITA in 2012 included EUR 19 million of restructuring charges, which were offset by a EUR 20 million gain on the divestment of Speech Processing.

Performance of the Group

 

 

Sales for the full year 2013 amounted to EUR 23.3 billion, a 1% nominal decrease year-on-year. Excluding negative currency effects and portfolio changes, comparable sales were 3% above 2012. Comparable sales growth was driven by a 10% increase at Consumer Lifestyle, while Healthcare and Lighting achieved low-single-digit growth.

 

 

Growth geographies achieved 11% comparable growth, while mature geographies declined by 1% as a result of continued economic weakness in Southern Europe and uncertain market conditions in North America. Growth geographies accounted for 36% of total sales, compared to 34% in 2012.

 

 

EBITA amounted to EUR 2,451 million, or 10.5% of sales, compared to EUR 1,106 million, or 4.7% of sales, in 2012. 2013 EBITA included restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 117 million, compared with EUR 561 million in 2012. 2013 EBITA was also impacted by a net gain of EUR 47 million from a past-service pension cost gain and related settlement loss in the US, as well as a EUR 21 million gain on the sale of a business in Healthcare. 2012 EBITA included a EUR 313 million impact of the European Commission fine, EUR 132 million of provisions related to various legal matters, a net gain of EUR 197 million on the sale of assets, mainly for the Senseo and High Tech Campus transactions, and a EUR 81 million loss on the sale of industrial assets at Lighting. In addition, 2012 EBITA also included a past-service cost gain of EUR 25 million related to a retiree medical plan.

 

 

EBITA excluding restructuring and other charges amounted to EUR 2,500 million, or 10.7% of sales, compared to EUR 1,971 million, or 8.4% of sales, in 2012. The increase was largely driven by gross margin improvements and overhead cost reductions across all sectors.

 

 

EBIT amounted to EUR 1,991 million, or 8.5% of sales, compared to EUR 648 million, or 2.8% of sales, in 2012. 2013 EBIT includes impairment charges related to intangible assets, mainly consisting of EUR 58 million in Consumer Luminaires at Lighting and EUR 29 million in Imaging Systems at Healthcare during the fourth quarter.

 

 

Financial income and expenses amounted to a net expense of EUR 330 million, in line with 2012.

 

 

Q4 2013 Quarterly report             19


 

    

 

Income taxes amounted to EUR 466 million, compared to EUR 185 million in 2012. The effective income tax rate was 28.1%, compared to 58.0% in 2012. Excluding the non-tax-deductible European Commission fine and charges related to various legal matters in 2012, the effective tax rate in 2012 was 25.5%. The 2.6 percentage point increase in 2013 was mainly related to a higher average income tax rate in 2013 due to a change in the country mix of profit and loss, which was partly offset by lower valuation allowances.

 

 

Net income for the year amounted to EUR 1,172 million, compared to a net loss of EUR 30 million in 2012.

 

 

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 1,138 million in 2013, which is EUR 944 million lower than in 2012. The decrease is mainly a result of the payment of the European Commission fine in Q1 2013, increased working capital and the payout of restructuring charges in 2013.

 

 

In October 2013 we launched a EUR 1.5 billion share buy-back program. By the end of the year, we had completed 7% of this program.

Forward-looking statements

 

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 our strategy, estimates of sales growth, future EBITA and future developments in our organic business. 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 our strategy and our ability to realize the benefits of this strategy, our 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, our ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions and to integrate those acquisitions into our business, our ability to successfully exit certain businesses or restructure our operations, the rate of technological changes, political, economic and other developments in countries where Philips operates, industry consolidation and competition. 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 our Annual Report 2012.

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. 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 our Annual Report 2012.

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 our Annual Report 2012. Independent valuations may have been obtained to support management’s determination of fair values.

All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. All reported data is unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with the accounting policies as stated in the Annual Report 2012, unless otherwise stated.

Prior-period financials have been restated for the treatment of Audio, Video, Multimedia and Accessories as discontinued operations, the adoption of IAS 19R, which mainly relates to pension reporting, and adjustments to the quarterly figures of 2012, which have already been included in the Annual Report 2012 (for an explanation refer to Annual Report 2012 section 12.10 “Significant Accounting Policies”). An overview of the revised 2012 figures per quarter is available on the Philips website, in the Investor Relations section.
