Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the company's second quarter 2024 results.
"Our topline for the second quarter was impacted by the accelerated decline in Conventional lighting and continued market softness in Europe for the Professional business and in China. At the same time, we are encouraged by the positive trend in connected lighting, as well as the return to growth for our Consumer business outside of China and our OEM business. While the Adjusted EBITA margin of our Professional business was impacted, our Consumer and OEM businesses showed substantial improvements. Our free cash flow was in line with our expectations, reflecting the anticipated cash outflow from the restructuring program," said Eric Rondolat, CEO of Signify.
"We remain cautious on Professional Europe and on China for the second semester, but expect to see positive traction for Professional in the Americas, as well as the OEM and Consumer businesses. As a result, we maintain our guidance, with an Adjusted EBITA margin at the lower end of the 10.0-10.5% range and free cash flow generation of 6-7% of sales."

In the second quarter of the year, Signify continued to advance its Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 sustainability program which commits to doubling its positive impact on the environment and society.
Signify is ahead of schedule to achieve its 2025 target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its full value chain by 40% against a 2019 baseline - double the pace required by the Paris Agreement 1.5 degree scenario.
Circular revenues increased to 35%, up 1% on last quarter and ahead of the 2025 target of 32%. The main contribution came from serviceable luminaires for the professional segment and LED luminaires for the consumer segment.
Brighter lives revenues remained at 31%, on track to reach the 2025 target of 32%. This includes a strong contribution from consumer products that support health and well-being, mainly EyeComfort, and professional luminaires that are Dark Sky compliant, reducing the impact on nature.
The percentage of women in leadership positions increased to 29%, a 1% improvement over last quarter, slightly behind the 2025 target of 34%. Signify continues its efforts to increase representation through focused hiring practices for diversity at all levels, and through retention and engagement activities to reduce attrition.
In the second quarter, Signify released its Climate Transition Plan, which sets out the company's climate strategy in line with its SBTi-validated 2040 net-zero targets:
We remain cautious on Professional Europe and on China for the second semester, but expect to see positive traction for Professional in the Americas, as well as the OEM and Consumer businesses. As a result, we maintain our guidance, with an Adjusted EBITA margin at the lower end of the 10.0-10.5% range and free cash flow generation of 6-7% of sales.

Nominal sales decreased by 9.8% to EUR 1,483 million, including a negative currency effect of 1.4%, mainly from CNY depreciation. Comparable sales declined by 8.4%, driven by lower professional lighting sales in Europe and continued softness in China, while the OEM and Consumer businesses continued to show sequential improvements.
The Adjusted gross margin increased by 140 bps to 40.3% driven by effective COGS management and positive sales mix. Adjusted indirect costs as a percentage of sales increased by 170 bps to 33.5%, as the reduction of indirect costs did not keep pace with lower sales volumes.
Adjusted EBITA decreased to EUR 118 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 40 bps to 7.9%, as gross margin expansion was offset by an under-absorption of fixed costs.
Restructuring costs were EUR 9 million, acquisition-related charges were EUR 2 million and incidental items had a positive impact of EUR 8 million.
Net income increased to EUR 63 million, mainly driven by lower adjusted items, lower non-cash losses on Virtual Power Purchase Agreements and higher financial income.
The number of employees (FTE) decreased from 33,181 at the end of Q2 23 to 31,219 at the end of Q2 24. The yearon-year decrease is mostly related to a reduction of factory personnel due to lower production volumes and the first effects of the reorganization program. In general, the number of FTEs is affected by fluctuations in volume and seasonality.

Working capital increased from EUR 473 million at the end of March 2024 to EUR 502 million at the end of June 2024.

As a percentage of last twelve-month sales, working capital increased by 60 bps to 7.9%.
Compared with June 2023, working capital decreased by EUR 138 million. This decrease is mainly driven by lower inventories, which benefited from shorter lead times, and lower receivables, partly offset by lower payables and lower other working capital items. As a percentage of last-twelve month sales, working capital decreased by 100 bps.

In the first half of 2024, Signify saw a number of key dynamics across its end markets that impacted the company's topline performance.
Professional lighting was affected by lower demand in Europe and continued weakness in China. After a weak 2023, the consumer lighting market started to gain traction again as consumer demand for connected lighting products improved. Following a period of destocking, inventory levels within the OEM distributor network normalized during the first six months of 2024, leading to sequential improvements for Signify's OEM business. The conventional lighting market saw an accelerated rate of decline following the fluorescent bans in Europe, which became effective in February and August 2023.
Nominal sales decreased by 11.2% to EUR 2,951 million, including a negative currency effect of 2.0% and a positive effect of 0.1% from the consolidation of Intelligent Lighting Controls. Comparable sales decreased by 9.2%, mainly due to lower Professional lighting sales in Europe and continued softness in China and lower Conventional lighting sales, while the Consumer and OEM businesses started to show sequential improvements, particularly in the second quarter.
The gross margin increased by 230 basis points to 39.6%. The adjusted gross margin increased by 170 basis points to 40.8%, mainly driven by effective COGS management and a positive sales mix effect.
Indirect costs as a percentage of sales increased by 190 basis points to 34.4%. Adjusted indirect costs as a percentage of sales increased by 200 basis points to 33.8%, mainly due to an under-absorption of fixed costs.
EBITA increased to EUR 196 million. Restructuring costs were EUR 31 million, acquisition-related charges were EUR 5 million, and incidental items had a negative impact of EUR 7 million. Correcting for these adjusted items, the Adjusted EBITA was EUR 240 million, or 8.1% of sales. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 50 basis points compared to the previous year, as gross margin improvements were more than offset by the under-absorption of fixed costs.
Income from operations increased by EUR 13 million to EUR 162 million. Net income increased by EUR 34 million to EUR 107 million, driven by lower non-cash
losses on Virtual Power Purchase Agreements, higher financial income and higher income from operations.
Net cash from operating activities decreased by EUR 17 million to EUR 173 million. The decrease is mainly driven by a higher restructuring payout, partly offset by a lower cash outflow from working capital.
Nominal sales decreased by 9.6% to EUR 1,902 million, including a negative currency effect of 1.8% and a positive effect of 0.1% from the consolidation of Intelligent Lighting Controls. Comparable sales declined by 8.0%, mainly due to weakness in Europe and China.
Adjusted EBITA was EUR 148 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 40 basis points to 7.8% of sales, as cost savings and a positive sales mix effect were offset by an under-absorption of fixed costs and negative pricing in some markets.
Nominal sales decreased by 6.8% to EUR 596 million, including a negative currency effect of 2.7%. Comparable sales declined by 4.1%, mainly driven by lower LED lamps & luminaires sales, while Hue was back to growth.
Adjusted EBITA was EUR 52 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased by 300 basis points to 8.8%, driven by COGS savings, a positive currency effect and positive sales mix.
Nominal sales decreased by 6.6% to EUR 208 million, including a negative currency effect of 2.9%. Comparable sales declined by 3.7%, sequentially improving throughout the first half of 2024, as distributor inventory levels normalized following a period of destocking.
Adjusted EBITA was EUR 21 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased by 140 basis points to 9.9%, mainly driven by COGS savings.
Nominal sales decreased by 32.3% to EUR 234 million, including a negative currency effect of 1.2%. Comparable sales decreased by 31.0%, as the fluorescent bans in Europe resulted in an accelerated decline for the business.
Adjusted EBITA was 39 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 450 basis points to 16.7%, mainly due to an under-absorption of fixed costs related to the sales decline and one-off charges, while last year included a benefit from one offs.
1 This section contains certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, such as comparable sales growth, EBITA, Adjusted EBITA, 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 measures, see "Reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures".
'Other' represents amounts not allocated to the businesses and mainly includes costs related to ventures, exploratory research and audits. Adjusted EBITA was EUR -20 million, compared with EUR -17 million in the same period last year.
We remain cautious on Professional Europe and on China for the second semester, but expect to see positive traction for Professional in the Americas, as well as the OEM and Consumer businesses. As a result, we maintain our guidance, with an Adjusted EBITA margin at the lower end of the 10.0-10.5% range and free cash flow generation of 6-7% of sales.

All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up to totals provided.
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 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.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Several amendments apply to the accounting standards for the first time in 2024, but do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Signify.
The income tax expense is recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year.
The accounting policies applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Signify continuously monitors the developments in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there was no significant change compared to our assessment as disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Signify continuously monitors risks and opportunities related to climate change. On June 18, 2024, Signify released the Signify Climate Transition Plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90%
across its entire value chain against a 2019 baseline and reach net-zero by 2040. The plan builds on Signify's long-established leadership in transforming the lighting industry.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there was no significant change compared to our assessment as of December 31, 2023.
In particular:
As announced on December 1, 2023, Signify has adapted its organization structure along four verticalized businesses with full profit and loss responsibility: Professional, Consumer, OEM and Conventional. The new organizational structure became effective on April 1, 2024 following completion of proceedings with Signify's social partners.
In line with this change, effective Q1 2024, Signify's reportable segments are Professional, Consumer, OEM and Conventional:
The reportable segments are based on customer type (Professional, Consumer, OEM), except for Conventional, which is dedicated to conventional lighting technologies.
The Consumer and Professional reportable segments include operating segments, organized based on geography, which are aggregated to form the reportable segments. The aggregated operating segments are similar in respect of the nature of products, production processes, customer and distribution method. In addition, long term gross margins relative to sales are expected at similar level.
Following the implementation of the new structure, each of these four businesses will be fully responsible for its end-to-end processes including offer development, manufacturing and sales & marketing. As a result, part of the central costs have been reallocated to the four vertically integrated businesses. 'Other' represents amounts not allocated to the operating segments and mainly includes costs related to ventures, exploratory research and audits.
Prior period comparative figures have been restated in line with the updated reportable segments and reallocation of central costs. Refer to note 1, Information by segment and main country for restated comparative figures.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored internally for impairment review. Previously, the cash-generating units for goodwill were the three Divisions. As a result of the organizational changes, the cash-generating units for goodwill have also been updated to correspond to the new operating segments.
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, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
Except as disclosed in previous paragraphs, the areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made, were the same as those disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The following is an overview of Signify's sales and results by segment. Comparative figures for 2023 have been restated as described in 2.2 Basis of preparation.

5 Considering the nature of Other, Adjusted EBITA as a % of sales for Other is not meaningful Following the implementation of the new organization structure, the key segmental performance measure is Adjusted EBITA. Adjusted EBITA is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS, and represents income from operations excluding amortization and impairments of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill, restructuring costs, acquisitionrelated charges, and other incidental items.
Incidental items of EUR 7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 were related to the one-day FX loss from the devaluation of the Egyptian Pound by the Egyptian government (EUR 10 million, mainly in "Professional"), environmental provisions for inactive sites and the discounting effect of long-term provisions (EUR 6 million, mainly in "Other"), gains from the movements in the indemnification positions with Koninklijke Philips N.V. originating from the separation (EUR 8 million, in "Other") and other items with an effect of EUR 1 million gain.
Incidental items of EUR 32 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 were related to results on real estate transactions (EUR 13 million in 'Other'), environmental provisions for inactive sites and the discounting effect of long-term provisions (EUR 15 million, mainly in Conventional), operations in Russia and Ukraine (EUR 4 million, in Professional and Conventional), and other insignificant items.
Sales between the segments mainly relate to the supply of goods. The pricing of such transactions is determined on an 'arm's length basis'.
