Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the company's 2019 second quarter results. "We are satisfied with the ongoing improvement in the operational profitability and cash generation of our businesses in the second quarter. Sales declined mainly due to economic headwinds in Europe and non-recurring country-specific developments in growth markets," said CEO Eric Rondolat. "While market conditions remain challenging, the solid momentum in our growth platforms, our relentless focus on operational efficiencies and our strong free cash flow profile position us well for the future."
¹This press release contains certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, such as comparable sales growth, EBITA, adjusted EBITA and free cash flow, and related ratios, which are not recognized measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. For a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, see appendix B, Reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures, of this press release.
We confirm our outlook that in 2019 our growing profit engines (LED, Professional and Home combined) are expected to deliver a comparable sales growth in the range of 2% to 5%. Our cash engine, Lamps, is expected to decline at a slower pace than the market, in the range of -21% to -24% on a comparable basis. For total Signify, we aim to reach an Adjusted EBITA margin in 2019 within the range of 11% to 13% set at the time of the IPO in May 2016. In 2019, we expect free cash flow, excluding the positive impact from IFRS 16, to be above 5% of sales.

Sales amounted to EUR 1,477 million. Adjusted for 1.7% positive currency effects, comparable sales decreased by 6.1%, with LED-based sales increasing by 0.2% and now accounting for 77% of total sales. The adjusted gross margin declined by 20 bps to 37.7% due to lower sales volumes and price erosion, largely offset by ongoing procurement savings. Adjusted indirect costs decreased by EUR 29 million, or 70 bps as a percentage of sales, as a result of our ongoing cost reduction initiatives. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 133 million compared with EUR 130 million in the same period last year. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 60 bps to 9.0%, despite a sales decline, and includes a currency impact of +20 bps. Total restructuring costs were EUR 14 million and other incidentals were also EUR 14 million.
Net income increased from EUR 29 million last year to EUR 50 million in Q2 19, mainly as a result of better operational profitability and lower restructuring costs. Free cash flow, which included a positive impact of EUR 17 million related to IFRS 16, amounted to EUR 121 million, mainly driven by higher income and the phasing of payables and receivables. The effect of phasing is estimated to represent around half of the free cash flow in the quarter.
In 2018, we initiated a major five-year journey, 'Road to Excellence', to continue to transform at a fast pace, achieve unequalled customer satisfaction and achieve organizational excellence. To achieve this, we constantly focus on enhancing our capabilities by lean process improvements and building on our quality culture.
As part of this journey, we have introduced Project Horizon. This company-wide project includes a significant number of cross-company opportunities that will further strengthen our execution capabilities and is expected to drive topline growth, enhance operational efficiencies, and free up working capital between now and the end of 2020.

Performance in the second quarter reflects a more challenging macro environment. Comparable sales growth of our growing profit engines was -2.3%. We experienced a lower level of market activity, most notably in Europe and were impacted by non-recurring country-specific developments in Saudi Arabia and India in Professional. Our growth platforms, connected systems, IoT platform services, horticulture, solar, and LiFi, show solid momentum. The Adjusted EBITA margin of the growing profit engines improved by 200 bps to 8.5%, with all three business groups contributing to this improvement.

Sales amounted to EUR 445 million, a decrease of 1.8% on a comparable basis. LED lamps delivered a solid performance while sales in LED electronics continued to be impacted by lower customer demand, most notably in Europe. Adjusted EBITA increased by 13.8% to EUR 53 million, mainly driven by ongoing procurement savings and lower indirect costs. This resulted in an Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of 140 bps to 12.0%.

Comparable sales decreased by 5.6% to EUR 632 million, due to a lower level of market activity in Europe, and the temporary impact of SASO product re-certification in Saudi Arabia and elections in India. We experienced softening demand for public & outdoor projects, most notably in Europe, while the Americas and China had a robust performance. We have a solid order backlog and project pipeline for the second half of 2019, most notably in the Middle East and in façade lighting in China. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 55 million, which resulted in an improvement in the Adjusted EBITA margin of 40 bps to 8.8% as procurement and indirect cost savings more than offset the negative impact of price and mix.

Sales amounted to EUR 286 million, a comparable decrease of 20.3%. Our cash engine continues to deliver on its 'last man standing' strategy, which resulted in further market share gains and solid free cash flow generation. The Adjusted EBITA margin remained robust at 19.5%.
Other represents amounts not allocated to the operating segments and includes certain costs related to central R&D activities to drive innovation as well as group enabling functions. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR -24 million (Q2 18: EUR -21 million). EBITA amounted to EUR -27 million (Q2 18: EUR -38 million), including restructuring costs of EUR 3 million (Q2 18: EUR 8 million). There were no other incidental items that were not part of the Adjusted EBITA this quarter (Q2 18: EUR 9 million, mainly related to the company name change).

Free cash flow amounted to EUR 121 million, including a positive impact of EUR 17 million related to IFRS 16, compared with EUR -31 million in the same period last year. The increase in free cash flow is mainly driven by a reduction in working capital, which included the above-mentioned phasing of payables and receivables. The effect of phasing is estimated to represent around half of the free cash flow in the quarter. Free cash flow also included a lower restructuring pay-out of EUR 27 million (Q2 18: EUR 33 million).

Net debt amounted to EUR 865 million, an increase of EUR 76 million compared with the end of March 2019 mainly due to dividend distribution of EUR 164 million which was partly offset by strong free cash flow generation. Total equity decreased to EUR 2,056 million at the end of Q2 19 (end of March 2019: EUR 2,208 million), primarily due to dividend distribution and currency translation results, partly offset by net income.

Sales amounted to EUR 2,955 million, a decrease of 2.7% on a nominal basis. Adjusted for 1.4% currency effect and 0.6% consolidation and other impact, comparable sales were 4.7% lower than in the first half of 2018. Comparable LED-based sales grew by 1.9% and accounted for 76% of total sales. The adjusted indirect cost base reduced by EUR 62 million, improving by 120 basis points to 30.9% of sales. The Adjusted EBITA margin was 8.4% compared with 7.7% in the same period last year, as currency effects negatively impacted performance by 60 basis points. Net income was EUR 95 million compared with EUR 49 million last year mainly as a result of EUR 12 million higher Adjusted EBITA and EUR 46 million lower restructuring costs and other incidentals. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2019 was 27.4% compared with 30.8% in 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher year to date income. Compared with the end of June 2018, working capital as percentage of sales decreased by 250 basis points to 8.0% of sales, reflecting continued focus on improving working capital and includes an impact from phasing of payables & receivables. Free cash flow amounted to EUR 175 million, compared with EUR -37 million last year and included a positive impact of EUR 34 million from IFRS 16.
Our growing profit engines, LED, Professional and Home, represent the foundations Signify
is building and investing in, in line with our strategy to move to LED and connectivity, unleashing new growth platforms. These include connected systems, IoT platform services, horticulture, solar, and LiFi. Comparable sales of these three business groups combined declined by 0.7%, mainly reflecting a lower level of market activity in Europe which impacted Professional and LED electronics. The Adjusted EBITA margin of the growing profit engines combined improved by 200 basis points to 7.6%.
Sales were EUR 894 million, an increase of 0.7% on a nominal basis and a decline of 1.0% on a comparable basis. LED lamps showed a solid performance while sales in LED electronics slowed down in Europe. Income from operations amounted to EUR 98 million. EBITA of EUR 100 million included EUR 7 million of restructuring and other incidental costs. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 190 basis points to 12.0%, mainly driven by ongoing procurement savings and lower indirect costs.
Sales were EUR 1,231 million, reflecting a nominal sales decline of -1.2% and -3.7% on a comparable basis, due to a lower level of market activity in Europe, while the Americas had a solid performance. After lower market activity in China in the second half of 2018, performance in this market started to improve in the course of the first half of 2019. Income from operations was EUR 21 million compared with EUR 15 million in the same period last year. EBITA amounted to EUR 66 million, compared with EUR 58 million in the first half of 2018. It included restructuring and other incidental costs of

EUR 22 million. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 87 million compared with EUR 86 million in the first half of 2018. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 20 basis points to 7.1%, as continued procurement and indirect cost savings more than offset the negative impact of price, mix and currencies.
Sales amounted to EUR 222 million, with a nominal sales increase of 22.9% and an increase of 21.8% on a comparable basis. This was driven by a strong performance in Europe as the business group continued to experience robust demand for connected offers. Income from operations was EUR -18 million, a significant improvement compared with EUR -52 million last year. EBITA amounted to EUR -17 million. Restructuring and other incidental costs amounted to EUR 2 million in the first half of 2019.
Sales amounted to EUR 595 million, a decline of 17.6% on a nominal basis and 19.1% on a comparable basis, which is estimated to be lower than the market decline, resulting in continued market share gains. Income from operations reduced to EUR 111 million due to the decline in sales, partly offset by proactive rationalization of the manufacturing footprint and lower indirect costs. EBITA amounted to EUR 111 million compared with EUR 134 million in the first half of 2018. This includes EUR 8 million of restructuring costs and other incidental costs. The Adjusted EBITA margin remained solid at 20.0%. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 119 million.

Signify N.V. is a public company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and listed on Euronext Amsterdam under the symbol 'LIGHT'.
As used herein, the term Signify is used for Signify N.V. ('the Company') and its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 2:24b of the Dutch Civil Code.
The Company was incorporated as a private limited liability company on February 1, 2016 and converted into a public company with limited liability on May 31, 2016. On May 15, 2018, the name of the Company changed from Philips Lighting N.V. to Signify N.V. The corporate seat of the Company is in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and its registered office is at High Tech Campus 48, 5656 AE Eindhoven. The Company is registered in the Commercial Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 65220692.
On February 1, 2016, Koninklijke Philips N.V. ('Royal Philips') and Philips Lighting Holding B.V. entered into the Separation Agreement and a set of ancillary agreements, together effecting the Separation of their respective businesses and providing a framework for the relationship between Royal Philips and Signify
thereafter (the 'Separation'). For more information regarding the Separation, please refer to note 1 in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
Except for the changes disclosed below, the accounting policies applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in chapter 14.6 of the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but do not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Signify.
IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17 Leases and became effective on January 1, 2019. Under the new lease standard, assets leased by the Company are being recognized in the statements of financial position with a corresponding lease liability.
Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17. Therefore, IFRS 16 did not have an impact for leases where the Company is the lessor.
The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective transition method (also referred to as cumulative effect method) with the date of initial application of January 1, 2019. This means that comparative figures were not restated and the cumulative effect of the initial application of the standard is accounted for as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at the date of initial application.
Lease contracts that have a meaningful impact on the company's (condensed) consolidated (interim) financial statements relate to real estate, car fleet and IT equipment. In selecting which practical expedients to apply, the Company focused on reducing the complexity of implementation and:
• applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases of low value assets (mainly laptops)
• for real estate leases, applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease terms. These include leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less at the transition date
• adjusted the right-of-use asset by the amount of any provisions for onerous lease contracts recognized under IAS 37 to approximate impairment.
The effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 to the statements of financial position as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| In millions of EUR | |
|---|---|
| Assets | |
| Property, plant and equipment | 222 |
| Deferred tax assets | 2 |
| Non-current assets | 9 |
| Current assets | 5 |
| Total assets | 238 |
| Equity | |
| Retained earnings | (12) |
| Total equity | (12) |
| Liabilities | |
| Long-term debt | 214 |
| Provisions | (9) |
| Short-term debt | 45 |
| Total liabilities | 250 |
Property, plant and equipment increased by EUR 222 million due to the recognition of right-of-use-assets. Current and noncurrent assets increased by EUR 14 million due to the inclusion of sublease receivables. Provisions decreased by EUR 9 million, relating to the derecognition of onerous lease provisions, which was recognized as an adjustment to right-of-use assets upon transition to IFRS 16.
The effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 had no impact on the Company's sales, while the Income from operations is positively impacted by approximately EUR 6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. This is caused by operating lease expenses being replaced by depreciation, service costs and interest expenses, of which the latter is not recognized in Income from operations.
In addition, the cash flow from operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, was positively impacted by around EUR 34 million as, under the new standard, cash payments for the principal part of the lease liability are classified in the cash flow from financing activities instead of in the cash flow from operating activities.
The Company foresees no impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on compliance with debt covenants.
The Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The right-of-use assets were recognized based on the carrying amount as if the standard had always been applied, apart from the use of the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
The lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 reconcile to the operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018, as follows:
| In millions of EUR | |
|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018 | 285 |
| Discounting impact | (23) |
| Short term leases | (5) |
| Derecognition of lease liabilities for IT equipment | (9) |
| Other impacts | 11 |
| IFRS16 opening balance impact on lease liabilities as of | |
| January 1, 2019 | 259 |
Other impacts include, among others, adjustments made as a result of a different treatment of extension and termination options. The Company applied a weighted average discount rate of 3.1% for real estate and a single discount rate of 1.5% for cars.
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct
costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include (in-substance) fixed payments (less any lease incentives), variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases for real estate (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. When determining the lease term, Signify considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. These circumstances include the Company's strategic plans, the industrial footprint of the Company and Business Group and the importance of the site to the Company's operations.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
Except for the judgment and estimates mentioned in relation to the adoption of IFRS 16, the significant estimates and judgments in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, made by management in applying the accounting policies and the sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied to the Company's Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Operating segments are components of the company's business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Board of Management of the Company). The operating segments are Lamps, LED, Professional and Home. The segments are organized based on the nature of the products and services. 'Other' represents amounts not allocated to the operating segments and includes certain costs related to central R&D activities to drive innovation as well as group enabling functions.

1) Including goodwill.
The Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The sales trend is influenced by the exposure to the consumer market (in general higher sales in the second half of the year) and the timing of specific larger-sized projects in the segment Professional.
Information on sales per segment is disclosed in note 1, Information by segment and main country. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, sales consisted primarily (97%) of sales of goods to customers (January to June 2018: 97%), for which revenue is generally recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the goods. Mainly in the Professional segment, revenue from the sale of goods may also be recognized over time.
Remaining sales include revenue from services, sales-and usage-based royalties and leases.
Revenue from services and sales- and usagebased royalties is generally recognized over time. Revenue from leases mainly relates to finance leases, whereby revenue for the leased assets is recognized at the lease commencement date.

| Other intangible assets | (46) | (49) | |
| Development costs | (7) | (7) | |
| Total | (116) | (137) |
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment increased by EUR 18 million due to the implementation of IFRS 16 which was partially offset by lower depreciation of other tangible assets.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is primarily included in Cost of sales. Amortization of other intangible assets is reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses for brand names and customer relationships and in Cost of sales for technology-based and other intangible assets. Amortization of development costs is included in Research and development expenses.
Other business income and expenses consists of the following:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the result on other remaining businesses includes a EUR 8 million expense related to a legal provision for an adverse outcome of an appeal on a jury verdict in Professional, in the United States of America.
Income tax expense recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year.
Income tax expense in the first six months of 2019 increased by EUR 13 million compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, mainly as a result of higher income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, was 27.1% compared to 30.7% in 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to higher year-to-date income in 2019.
Property, plant and equipment increased by EUR 178 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, mainly due to the opening balance adjustment of EUR 222 million related to the IFRS 16 implementation (refer to paragraph 2.2). The remaining change mainly relates to depreciation of EUR 76 million (six-month period ended June 30, 2018: EUR 54 million) and additions of EUR 36 million (six-month period ended June 30, 2018: EUR 36 million). The increase in depreciation is caused by first time inclusion of depreciation of right-of-use assets. 17 26
For information regarding the most recent impairment test of the different cashgenerating units, including Professional, reference is made to note 15, Goodwill in the Company's Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. No events have been identified by management in the first six months of 2019 that required an update of the mentioned impairment tests.
Intangible assets other than goodwill decreased by EUR 29 million during the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2019, mainly
due to amortization of EUR 58 million (sixmonth period ended June 30, 2018: EUR 55 million), partially offset by additions of EUR 17 million (six-month period ended June 30, 2018: EUR 12 million) and other movements including translation differences of EUR 13 million (six-month period ended June 30, 2018: EUR 12 million).
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the amount of write-down of inventories to realizable value was EUR 7 million (six-month period ended June 30, 2018: EUR 9 million).

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by Signify using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will ultimately be realized by Signify upon maturity or disposal. The use of market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
For cash and cash equivalents and financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized
cost, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
The following hierarchy is applied to classify the financial assets and liabilities:
Instruments included in Level 1 are comprised primarily of listed equity investments classified as financial assets at fair value via other comprehensive income and financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 2. The fair value of derivatives is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread and foreign exchange rates.
If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
