Philips delivers Q2 sales of EUR 4.2 billion, with 9% comparable sales growth; net income amounts to EUR 153 million and Adjusted EBITA margin improves 280 basis points to 12.6%; company announces EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program
Amsterdam, July 26, 2021
"We have mobilized the necessary resources across the company to address the component quality issue in certain of our sleep and respiratory care products. We fully understand the impact that this is having on patients, as their well-being is at the heart of everything we do at Philips. We are in discussions with the relevant regulatory authorities to obtain authorization to start deploying the repair kits and replacement devices that we are producing.
I am pleased with the good performance momentum in all our businesses except the Sleep & Respiratory Care business, as we delivered a strong 9% comparable sales growth and 280 basis points profitability improvement for the Group in the quarter. I am particularly encouraged by the 29% order intake growth in our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, as well as the strong growth of our Personal Health businesses.
In the quarter, we introduced exciting innovations, such as the new Spectral CT 7500 to help improve disease characterization and reduce rescans and follow-ups. The integration of BioTelemetry and Capsule Technologies is proceeding well, and our customers appreciate the expanded portfolio of end-to-end patient care management solutions from the hospital to the home. We entered 12 new long-term strategic partnerships, building on the strength of our portfolio and demonstrating the trust hospital leaders have in our ability to enhance health outcomes and lower the cost of care, while improving patient and staff experience.
Confident in our strategy and financial trajectory, we are launching a new share buyback program of EUR 1.5 billion in line with our balanced capital allocation policy.
Looking ahead, while we continue to see uncertainty related to the impact of COVID-19 across the world and electronic component shortages, our financial outlook remains within our guided range, with low-to-mid-single-digit comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of 60 basis points expected for the Group in 2021."
The Diagnosis & Treatment businesses recorded 16% comparable sales growth, with double-digit growth in all businesses. Comparable order intake increased 29%, with strong double-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy, Ultrasound and Diagnostic Imaging. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 13.2%, mainly driven by sales growth and productivity measures.
Comparable sales in the Connected Care businesses decreased 16%, as mid-single-digit growth in Hospital Patient Monitoring was more than offset by a double-digit decline in Sleep & Respiratory Care. Comparable order intake decreased significantly following the steep COVID-19-related increase in Q2 2020. The Hospital Patient Monitoring business continues to perform well above 2019 levels. The newly acquired BioTelemetry and Capsule Technologies businesses continue to deliver strong sales growth with increasing profitability. The Adjusted EBITA margin amounted to 11.3%, mainly due to the impact in the Sleep & Respiratory Care business.
The Personal Health businesses recorded a strong comparable sales growth of 33%, driven by double-digit growth across all businesses. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 17.0%, mainly driven by sales growth and productivity measures, partly offset by investments in advertising & promotion.
Philips' ongoing focus on innovation and partnerships resulted in the following highlights in the quarter:
In the second quarter, productivity savings amounted to EUR 90 million, of which procurement savings amounting to EUR 44 million, and savings of EUR 46 million delivered by overhead and other programs.
Today, Philips is announcing a new share buyback program for capital reduction purposes for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. At the current share price, the program represents a total of approximately 36.8 million shares, or 4% of total shares outstanding. Philips expects to start the program in the third quarter of 2021 and to complete it within three years. It is expected that the program will be executed through a number of forward purchase transactions with one or more financial institutions and/or open market purchases by an intermediary to allow for transactions during both open and closed periods in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation. Updates on the progress of the program and further details will be made available here, and through press releases as appropriate.
Under Philips' ongoing EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes, which was initiated in the first quarter of 2019, Philips repurchased shares in the open market and entered into a number of forward transactions. Philips had 2,500,000 shares delivered in June 2021 as part of the program, and under the currently outstanding forward contracts the company expects to have another 17,976,023 shares delivered in the remainder of 2021. These shares will be cancelled by December 31, 2021, resulting in an estimated total number of issued shares of 897 million by that date, compared to 917 million shares at the end of Q2 2021. Further details can be found here.
On March 25, 2021, Philips announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its Domestic Appliances business to global investment firm Hillhouse Capital. As planned, on July 1, 2021 the Domestic Appliances business became a stand-alone entity and the sale is on track for completion in the third quarter of 2021. Since the first quarter of 2021, the Domestic Appliances business (which was previously part of the Personal Health segment) is reported as a discontinued operation. Philips will continue to consolidate Domestic Appliances under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) until the sale is completed.
On June 14, 2021 Philips initiated a voluntary recall notification in the US/field safety notice outside the US for certain sleep and respiratory care products to address identified potential health risks related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices.
Philips has established dedicated call centers and a device registration process to support patients. The company is increasing its production, service and repair capacity and has requested the relevant regulatory clearances for the repair and replacement actions. Subject to these regulatory clearances, Philips is ready to start deploying the repair kits and replacement devices that it is producing. Given the estimated scope of the field actions on the installed base, Philips has taken a provision of EUR 250 million in the second quarter of 2021, in addition to the provision that the company recorded in the first quarter of 2021.
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.

This document and the related oral presentation, including responses to questions following the presentation, contain certain forwardlooking 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 Adjusted EBITA; future restructuring and acquisition-related charges 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, political and societal changes; Philips' increasing focus on health technology and solutions; the successful completion of divestments such as the disentanglement and divestment of our Domestic Appliances businesses; the realization of Philips' objectives in growth geographies; business plans and integration of acquisitions; securing and maintaining Philips' intellectual property rights, and unauthorized use of thirdparty intellectual property rights; COVID-19 and other pandemics; breaches of cybersecurity; IT system changes or failures; the effectiveness of our supply chain; challenges to drive operational excellence, productivity and speed in bringing innovations to market; attracting and retaining personnel; future trade arrangements following Brexit; compliance with regulations and standards including quality, product safety and data privacy; compliance with business conduct rules and regulations; treasury risks and other financial risks; tax risks; costs of defined-benefit pension plans and other postretirement 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 2020.
Statements regarding market share, contained in this document, including those regarding Philips' competitive position, are based on outside sources such as specialized research institutes, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates. Where information is not yet available to Philips, market share statements may also be based on estimates and projections prepared by management and/or based on outside sources of information. Management's estimates of rankings are based on order intake or sales, depending on the business.
This press release contains inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
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 2020.
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 2020. In certain cases independent valuations are obtained to support management's determination of fair values.
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 2020.
In 2020, Philips revised the definition of net finance expenses used in the calculation of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, to exclude fair value movements of limited life fund investments recognized at fair value through profit and loss. This change leads to more relevant information as the fair value movements are not indicative of Philips' performance. The fair value movements do not represent cash items. Philips believes making this change is helpful for investors to evaluate Philips' performance.
As announced on March 25, 2021, Philips has signed an agreement to sell its Domestic Appliances business. As of the first quarter of 2021, the Domestic Appliances business is presented as a discontinued operation. In this report, comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation. Further details of the restatement have been published on the Philips Investor Relations website and can be accessed here.
Prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation; this includes immaterial organizational changes.

These semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as endorsed by the EU.
The semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, these statements are to be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The semi-annual condensed financial statements are presented in euros, which is the presentation currency. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up to totals provided. Certain comparative-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.
The significant accounting policies applied in these semiannual condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report 2020, except for the adoption of new standards and amendments to standards which are also expected to be reflected in the company's consolidated IFRS financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2021. The new and amended standards did not have a material impact on the company's semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements. The company has not early-adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective and endorsed.
The preparation of the semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Except for the additional significant estimates and judgments included in our provisions as disclosed in the note on Provisions, in preparing these semi-annual condensed financial statements, the significant estimates and judgements made by management in applying the company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
COVID-19 continued to affect the company's results, balance sheet and cash flows presented in these semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements. Where relevant, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting uncertainties have been considered and are reflected in amounts reported. COVID-19 did not result in any other material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, other than disclosed in the note on Intangible assets excluding goodwill and the note on Provisions. COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on reported sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. In addition, there were no further changes to treasury and other financial risks other than those disclosed in the Annual Report 2020. Further reference is made to the COVID-19 note included in the Annual Report 2020, which details the impact of the pandemic on significant accounting matters.
The Annual Report 2020 describes certain risk categories and risks (including risk appetite) which could have a material adverse effect on Philips' financial position and results. Those categories and risks remain valid and should be read in conjunction with this semi-annual report.
Looking ahead to the second half of 2021, Philips continues to see uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of COVID-19 across the world, driven by, amongst others, the effectiveness of vaccination programs, mutations of COVID-19 and potentially new viruses which may cause new pandemics. Philips continues to expect that COVID-19 and its macroeconomic effects will negatively impact supply chains and results from operations for an uncertain period. It may also affect planned disposals consistent with Philips' focus on health technology; the timing, terms, execution, and proceeds of any such disposals are uncertain.
Also, financial markets are expected to continue to be highly volatile due to political and macroeconomic issues (such as, but not limited to, trade tariffs and sanctions) in most major regions, such as Europe, United States, China, Russia, Middle East & Turkey and Latin America. Geopolitical conflicts and criminal activity continue to drive increases in the number and severity of cyber-attacks in general. Like many other multinational companies, Philips is therefore inherently and increasingly exposed to the risk of cyber-attacks.
Philips operates in a highly regulated product safety and quality environment and its products and services, including parts or materials from suppliers, are subject to regulation by various government and regulatory agencies (e.g. FDA (US), EMA (Europe), NMPA (China), MHRA (UK), ASNM (France), BfArM (Germany), IGZ (Netherlands)). In the European Union (EU), a new Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) was published in 2017, which imposes significant additional premarket and post-market requirements. Philips is undertaking considerable efforts to improve quality and management systems in all of its operations, and to keep strengthening the quality and continuous improvement culture we have built up. The improvement actions in these areas will continue to affect the company's results.
Additional risks not known to Philips, or currently believed not to be material, could later turn out to have a material impact on Philips' business, objectives, revenues, income, assets, liquidity, or capital resources.
Under normal economic conditions, the Group's sales are impacted by seasonal fluctuations, typically resulting in higher revenues and earnings in the second half-year. At the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care businesses, sales are generally higher in the second half-year, largely due to the timing of new product availability and customers attempting to spend their annual budgeted allowances before the end of the year. At the Personal Health businesses, sales are generally higher in the second half-year due to holiday sales and events. The segment Other is generally not materially affected by seasonality, however the timing of intellectual property transactions may cause variation over the year.

As required by IFRS 8, Operating Segments are Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care businesses and Personal Health businesses, each being responsible for the management of its business worldwide. As of the first quarter of 2021 the Domestic Appliances business is presented as discontinued operation and therefore no longer part of the Operating Segment Personal Health. More segment information can be found in the Information by segment and main country in the Annual Report 2020.
In 2021 and 2020 Discontinued operations consist primarily of the Domestic Appliances business. The table below summarizes the results of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, reported in the consolidated statements of income.

In 2020, net cash used for discontinued operations was EUR 68 million, and consisted primarily of cash flows from operating activities including advance income tax payments amounting to EUR 78 million.
As of June 30, 2021, assets held for sale mainly consisted of the Domestic Appliances business, consisting of Intangible assets (including goodwill) of EUR 289 million, Property, plant and equipment of EUR 119 million, Current receivables of EUR 369 million and Inventories of EUR 316 million. The Liabilities directly associated with these assets held for sale include Accounts payable of EUR 361 million and other current liabilities of EUR 322 million.
As of December 31, 2020, assets held for sale mainly consisted of the Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) business (renamed from the Aging and Caregiving (ACG) business) which was divested on June 30, 2021; refer to the note on Acquisitions and divestments.
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, Philips completed two acquisitions, BioTelemetry, Inc. and Capsule Technologies, Inc., that involved an aggregate net cash outflow of EUR 2,824 million. Upon acquisition, the company recognized aggregated Goodwill of EUR 2,105 million, Other intangible assets of EUR 842 million and related Deferred tax liabilities of EUR 208 million.
The preliminary condensed opening balance sheets of BioTelemetry and Capsule Technologies were as follows:

| Goodwill arising on acquisition | 1,762 | 344 | |
| Purchase consideration transferred | 2,337 | 539 |
The opening balance sheet positions reflect the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the acquisitions. The final determination of the fair values will be completed in 2022. As of June 30, 2021, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair value of the intangible assets and the valuation of goodwill are preliminary.
Since the respective acquisition dates through June 30, 2021, the contribution to sales to thirds and net income of the acquired entities was EUR 194 million and EUR 10 million loss, respectively. The sales and net income of the combined entities would not differ materially from these amounts if the acquisition date had been on January 1, 2021.
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, acquisition-related costs of EUR 32 million were recognized in General and administrative expenses
On February 9, 2021, Philips successfully completed a tender offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of BioTelemetry, Inc. for USD 72.00 per share. As a result, BioTelemetry shares were delisted from NASDAQ. The total equity purchase price and the settlement of stock option rights, including BioTelemetry's cash and debt, involved an
amount of EUR 2,132 million and EUR 172 million equity awards consideration paid to employees after the acquisition day.
BioTelemetry, headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, is a leading US-based provider of remote cardiac diagnostics and monitoring solutions. BioTelemetry offers a complete range of clinically validated ambulatory cardiac diagnostics and monitoring services: Short-term Holter monitoring services, Long-term Holter monitoring services, Event recorder services, and Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) services. The acquisition of BioTelemetry is a strong fit with Philips' cardiac care portfolio, and its strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions. BioTelemetry, including its 1,960 employees, forms part of the Connected Care segment.
Goodwill recognized in the amount of EUR 1,761 million mainly represents revenue synergies expected from the combination of Philips' cardiac care portfolio and its strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions, and BioTelemetry complete range of clinically validated ambulatory cardiac diagnostics and monitoring services. BioTelemetry Goodwill is not taxdeductible.
The majority of the Intangible assets balance relates to the Customer relationships asset, the fair value of which is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participants' expectations of the cash flows associated with that asset over its remaining useful life. The fair value of the Customer relationships asset is based on an estimate of positive future cash flows associated with incremental profits related to excess earnings, discounted at a rate of 10.0%. The amortization period of the Customer relationships asset is 14 years.
Receivables and other current assets reflect the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows expected to be received.
On March 4, 2021, Philips acquired all shares of Capsule Technologies, Inc. for an amount of EUR 520 million in cash. Capsule Technologies, headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of medical device integration and data technologies for hospitals and healthcare organizations. Capsule Technologies offers a leading vendorneutral Medical Device Information Platform with a softwareas-a-service business model. The acquisition of Capsule Technologies is a strong fit with Philips' strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions. Capsule Technologies, including its 263 employees, forms part of the Connected Care segment.
Goodwill recognized in the amount of EUR 344 million mainly represents revenue synergies expected from the combination of Philips' industry-leading portfolio of real-time patient monitoring, therapeutic devices, telehealth, informatics and interoperability solutions and Capsule's leading Medical Device Information Platform, connected through Philips' secure vendor-neutral cloud-based HealthSuite digital platform. Capsule Technologies Goodwill is not taxdeductible.
The majority of the Intangible assets balance relates to the Customer relationships asset, the fair value of which is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participants' expectations of the cash flows associated with that asset over its remaining useful life. The fair value of the Customer relationships asset is based on an estimate of positive future cash flows associated with incremental profits related to excess earnings, discounted at a rate of 12.0%. The amortization period of the Customer relationships asset is 17 years.
Receivables and other current assets reflect the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows expected to be received.
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, Philips completed the divestment of the PERS business. As part of the divestment, Philips acquired shares in the buyer Connect America Investment Holdings, LLC with a value of EUR 38 million. The investment is classified as a financial asset measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) and is reported as part of Other non-current financial assets as per June 30, 2021. The divestment resulted in a loss of EUR 70 million, which is included in Other Business Expenses in our Statement of Income.
During the first six months of 2021, Investments in associates increased from EUR 240 million as of December 31, 2020 to EUR 370 million as of June 30, 2021. The increase mainly reflects purchases of new associates during the period of EUR 169 million, partially offset by the reclassification of our investment in American Well Corp, which was reclassified to Other non-current financial assets upon the loss of significant influence. Refer to the note on Other financial assets.
Goodwill increased by EUR 2,163 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of goodwill recognized on new acquisitions of EUR 2,105 million, partially offset by EUR 15 million of impairment losses primarily related to the PERS CGU and EUR 202 million allocated to the Domestic Appliances business which was transferred to assets held for sale. For details on the impact of new acquisitions, refer to the note on Acquisitions and divestments.
The PERS CGU was classified as asset held for sale in Q4 2020. The goodwill impairment of EUR 13 million recorded in the first half of 2021 relates to a decrease in the recoverable amount of the CGU, which is included in Other business expenses in the Statement of Income. The fair value less cost of disposal methodology was used as the recoverable amount for the PERS CGU. The fair value is based on Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions and inputs used in the fair value less cost of disposal calculation include the signed purchase agreement for the PERS divestment. Refer to Acquisitions and divestments for further information. The impairment charge brought the PERS goodwill down to zero. As of June 30, 2021, the PERS CGU has been divested.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever impairment indicators require.
For the Sleep & Respiratory Care (S&RC) cash-generating unit (CGU) we identified such indicators at June 30 2021. The total amount of goodwill tested for impairment amounts to EUR 1,950 million, all of which relates to S&RC. The Q2 2021 S&RC goodwill impairment test used compound sales growth rates of (4.8)% (initial forecast period) and 5.0% (extrapolation period) and 2.5% (terminal period). A pre-tax discount rate of 9.3% was applied. In the S&RC impairment test performed in Q2 2021, the estimated recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value of the unit, therefore no impairment loss was recognized.
The basis of the recoverable amount used in the Q2 2021 impairment test for the S&RC CGU is the value and use methodology, and the fair value less cost of disposal methodology was used for the PERS CGU. These methodologies are in line with annual tests performed in 2020.
Intangible assets excluding goodwill increased by EUR 645 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of additions and acquisitions of EUR 1,038 million, offset by amortization and impairments of EUR 393 million. For details on the impact of new acquisitions, refer to the note on Acquisitions and divestments.
The impairments in 2021 amount to EUR 97 million and mainly relate to technology (EUR 56 million) and product development (EUR 38 million). The most notable impairment in 2021 is in the Diagnosis & Treatment segment, for technology assets in Image Guided Therapy-Systems (IGT-Systems) of EUR 55 million. This impairment charge is based on a trigger-based test on the CGU EPD, a business category and an innovator in image-guided procedures for cardiac arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders). The impairment charge is a result of more severe short-term impacts of COVID-19 and the competitive environment. The basis of the recoverable amount used in this test is the value in use, and an after-tax discount rate of 6.5% is applied. After the impairment charge the recoverable amount of the related intangible assets is EUR 29 million.
In the first half of 2021, Other non-current financial assets increased by EUR 125 million, from EUR 430 million as of December 31, 2020 to EUR 555 million as of June 30, 2021. The increase mainly reflects additions during the period of EUR 148 million and fair value gains related to investments in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of EUR 56 million, partially offset by distributions received from our investments in limited life funds of EUR 83 million.
The additions for the period mainly relate to the company's investment in Connect America Investment Holdings, LLC (EUR 38 million, refer to the note on Acquisitions and divestments) and the recognition at fair value of American Well Corp (EUR 84 million), which resulted in a gain of EUR 32 million in Other business income.
Fair value information is provided in the note on Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

Under Philips' ongoing EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes, which was initiated in the first quarter of 2019, Philips repurchased shares in the open market and entered into a number of forward transactions. Philips had 2,500,000 shares delivered in June 2021 as part of the program which resulted in a EUR 84 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares. Under the currently outstanding forward contracts the company expects to have another 17,976,023 shares delivered in the remainder of 2021. These shares will be cancelled by December 31, 2021.
The net current-period change, before tax, of the currency translation reserve of EUR 388 million mainly relates to the development of the USD versus the EUR.
As of June 30, 2021, Philips had total debt of EUR 7,831 million, an increase of EUR 897 million compared to December 31, 2020. The majority of the debt consisted of EUR 4,480 million of public EUR and USD bonds with a weighted average interest rate of 2.52%, EUR 987 million of forward contracts for share repurchases, and EUR 1,263 million of lease liabilities.
Long-term debt was EUR 5,882 million, an increase of EUR 177 million, and short-term debt was EUR 1,949 million, an increase of EUR 720 million compared to December 31, 2020.

In May and June 2021, Philips issued commercial paper at various interest rates through its existing commercial paper program. As of June 30, 2021, Philips had EUR 300 million commercial paper outstanding under the program.
In May 2021, Philips also entered into a total amount of EUR 90 million of forward contracts related to the Long-Term Incentive and employee stock purchase plans. These forward contracts will be settled in the last quarter of 2023.
In the first half of 2021 Philips initiated a voluntary recall notification in the US/field safety notice outside the US for specific Philips Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-Level PAP), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and mechanical ventilator devices to address identified potential health risks related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam component in these devices, and to inform patients and customers of potential impacts on patient health and clinical use related to this issue, as well as instructions on actions to be taken. Philips is providing the relevant regulatory agencies with required information related to the launch and implementation of the projected correction. The company will replace the current sound abatement foam with a new material and has already begun the preparations, which include obtaining the relevant regulatory clearances. Philips aims to address all affected devices in scope of this correction as expeditiously as possible. The updated field safety notice of the affected devices has resulted in adjustments to and acceleration of the repair and replacement actions, as well as intensified communication with customers and patients. The provision balance amounts to EUR 511 million (including currency translation) as of June 30, 2021 in connection with the associated field actions. For legal matters including claims refer to the note on Contingent liabilities. The future developments are subject to significant uncertainties, which require management to make estimates and assumptions about items such as quantities, costs to repair or replace and duration. Actual outcomes in future periods may differ from these estimates and affect the company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Based on the progressive insight with respect to site remediation experience, technological progress and riskbased clean-up strategies, the estimated remaining duration of remediation activities for environmental liabilities for infinite environmental sites was revised in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 60 years to 30 years. The resulting reduction is EUR 55 million of which EUR 33 million is recorded in continued operations and EUR 22 million in discontinued operations.
During 2021, the company reduced a legal provision in relation to an investigation initiated by the Italian competition authority, following withdrawal of the related allegations.
In 2021, revisions to EPD's forecast due to more severe shortterm impacts of COVID-19 and the competitive environment, resulted in a EUR 41 million decrease in the fair value of the respective contingent consideration provision and is reflected in Other business income. For more details of the EPD contingent consideration refer to the note on Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
Royal Philips and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings, including discussions on potential remedial actions, relating to such matters as competition issues, intellectual property, commercial transactions, product liability, participations and environmental pollution. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending or threatened legal proceedings, regulatory and governmental proceedings, Philips is of the opinion that the cases described below may have, or have had in the recent past, a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For information regarding legal proceedings in which Philips is involved, refer to the Annual Report 2020.
Significant developments regarding legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of the Annual Report 2020 are described below:
As disclosed in the note on Provisions, in the first half of 2021 Philips issued a voluntary recall notification in the US/field safety notice outside the US for specific Philips Bi-Level PAP, CPAP, and mechanical ventilator devices. Following the notification, certain patients, customers, and business partners have threatened to file civil complaints claiming damages based on allegations of personal injury and economic loss sustained due to the field actions Philips is taking. So far this has resulted in the filing of a number of consumer class action lawsuits from users of the affected devices in the United States and Canada and a small number of individual personal injury claims. In addition, certain law firms have announced possible actions on behalf of investors concerning potential violations of securities laws. While Philips continues to engage with its stakeholders to adequately mitigate the impact caused by the recall notification, further claims cannot be excluded.
Given the uncertain nature and timing of the relevant events and potential associated liabilities, the company is unable to reliably estimate the financial effect of these matters, if any. The outcome of the uncertain events could have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will ultimately be realized by the company upon maturity or disposal. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

As part of the EPD acquisition, Philips may be required to pay additional consideration to former shareholders if specified future events occur or conditions are met, such as the achievement of certain regulatory milestones or the achievement of certain commercial milestones. The fair value of this contingent consideration liability is updated each period using a probability-weighted and a risk- adjusted approach to estimate the achievement of future regulatory and commercial milestones, respectively. The discount rates used in the risk-adjusted approach are ranging from 8 to 9% and reflect the inherent risk related to achieving the commercial milestones. Both regulatory and commercial milestones are discounted for the time value of money at riskfree rates. The fair value measurement is based on management's estimates and assumptions and hence classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
A sensitivity analysis of the EPD contingent consideration liability at June 30, 2021 shows that if the probabilities of success for regulatory milestone are increased by 10 percentage points, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the liability would increase by approximately 10%. Similarly, a decrease in the probability of success for regulatory milestone by 10 percentage points would reduce the fair value by approximately 11%. If the discount rates for commercial milestones were to increase instantaneously by 100 basis points from the assumption at June 30, 2021, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the liability would decrease by approximately 2%, while a decrease in the discount rates of 100 basis points would increase the fair value by approximately 2%.
The table below shows the reconciliation from the opening balance to the closing balance for Level 3 fair value measurements.

On July 26, 2021, Philips announced a new share buyback program for capital reduction purposes for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. At the current share price, the program represents a total of approximately 36.8 million shares, or 4% of total shares outstanding. Philips expects to start the program in the third quarter of 2021 and to complete it within three years. It is expected that the program will be executed through a number of forward purchase transactions with one or more financial institutions and/or open market purchases by an intermediary to allow for transactions during both open and closed periods in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
