Forward-looking statements

This document contains 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, in particular the outlook paragraph in this report. Examples of forwardlooking statements include statements made about our strategy, estimates of sales growth, future EBITA and future developments in our organic business. By their nature, forward-looking 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 forward-looking statements. These factors include but are not limited to domestic and global economic and business conditions, 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, 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, PhilipsÊ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forwardlooking statements.

Statements regarding market share, including those regarding PhilipsÊ competitive position, contained in this document 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, 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-US GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips GroupÊs financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-US GAAP financial measures. These non-US GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent US GAAP measure(s) and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable US GAAP measure(s). A discussion of the non-US GAAP measures included in this document and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure(s) are contained in this document.

Use of fair-value measurements

In presenting the Philips GroupÊs 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 a readily determinable market value does not exist, fair values are estimated using valuation models which we believe are appropriate for their purpose. They require management to make significant assumptions with respect to future developments which are inherently uncertain and may therefore deviate from actual developments. In certain cases, independent valuations are obtained to support managementÊs determination of fair values.

Philips reports net income of EUR 357 million Sales of EUR 6.3 billion

  • Healthcare and Lighting maintained solid growth in much tougher markets, with sales up 5% and 6% respectively on a comparable basis.
  • Sales at Consumer Lifestyle declined by EUR 600 million, of which more than half was attributable to the implementation of the new TV strategy.
  • Net income amounted to EUR 357 million, including a EUR 302 million gain on the sale of the remaining stake in TSMC.
  • EBITA of EUR 128 million was negatively impacted by net incidental charges totaling EUR 285 million, notably a charge for the final settlement of an asbestos liability.
  • Repurchases under the current share buy-back program reached almost EUR 3 billion by the end of Q3.

Gerard Kleisterlee, President and CEO of Royal Philips Electronics:

"While Philips too cannot isolate itself from increasingly adverse economic circumstances, it is encouraging to see that the portfolio we have built over the past few years does indeed show the resilience we expected from it.

I am particularly delighted that Consumer Lifestyle, the sector most prone to swings in consumer demand, was able to improve its EBITA margin excluding restructuring to 5.9% of sales as a result of the sector's relentless focus on profitability – accepting that strategic and portfolio management decisions may negatively impact short-term top-line growth.

All amounts in millions of euros unless otherwise stated; data included are unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with US GAAP, unless otherwise stated.

Some of our Healthcare and Lighting businesses were also impacted by lower demand, but I am pleased we continued to grow in key businesses such as Patient Monitoring, Clinical Care Systems, Home Healthcare Solutions and of course in Green lighting solutions and Solid State Lighting. While neither of these sectors is immune to economic turmoil, I feel confident both will hold up well during this period.

I am also encouraged by the highly positive results of our 2008 Employee Engagement Survey, which put us practically on par with the highperformance benchmark, as a strong, highly motivated workforce is a particular precondition for success.

Given the limited visibility the current economic environment brings, we have taken a number of actions to safeguard profitability. We will rigidly manage cost and prices, further shift investments towards emerging markets and clear growth areas, and accelerate the ongoing optimization programs in all sectors.

These actions, executed by a highly engaged workforce and coupled with our strong financial position, allow us to continue to execute our agenda towards achieving our Vision for 2010 with specific focus on our target to more than double EBITA per share."

Highlights in the quarter

Net income

  • Income from continuing operations of EUR 347 million was broadly in line with Q3 2007 and included a pre-tax charge of EUR 241 million for the final settlement of asbestos-related claims, a gain of EUR 302 million on the sale of the final stake in TSMC, and TSMC dividend income of EUR 23 million.
  • Excluding the asbestos-related charge, EBITA was EUR 75 million lower than in Q3 2007, due primarily to restructuring and acquisition-related charges totaling EUR 89 million, partly offset by a EUR 45 million gain on the sale of the Speech Recognition Systems activities.
  • Income tax expenses of Q3 2007 included a EUR 91 million charge following a change in the German corporate tax rate.
  • The lower results related to equity-accounted investees were attributable to operational income from LG Display in Q3 2007.
  • Discontinued operations relates to the results of MedQuist, which was divested in this quarter.

Sales by sector

  • Sales amounted to EUR 6,334 million, a nominal decline of 2% compared to Q3 2007. Excluding portfolio changes (5%) and a negative currency impact of 5%, comparable sales also declined by 2%. Growth at Healthcare and Lighting was more than offset by lower sales at Consumer Lifestyle. Group sales excluding the Television business were slightly ahead of Q3 2007.
  • Healthcare sales grew 5% on a comparable basis, largely driven by Customer Services and Patient Monitoring.
  • Consumer Lifestyle sales declined by 8% on a comparable basis compared to Q3 2007. Growth at Health & Wellness and Domestic Appliances was more than offset by lower sales at the other Consumer Lifestyle businesses, in particular Television.
  • Lighting reported 6% comparable growth year-on-year, led by good growth at Lamps, Lumileds and Professional Luminaires.
  • Comparable sales at I&EB were down 27% compared to Q3 2007 due to lower license revenues and lower sales at Assembléon.

Sales per market cluster

  • Comparable sales in emerging markets grew 6% compared to Q3 2007, led by double-digit growth at Lighting and solid growth at Healthcare. Consumer Lifestyle saw growth in emerging markets, albeit at a lower pace than in prior quarters.
  • Comparable sales in mature markets declined 5% compared to Q3 2007, due to lower sales at Consumer Lifestyle, partly compensated by solid growth of the Healthcare business in Western Europe and North America.

Earnings

  • EBITA for the Group decreased by EUR 316 million compared to Q3 2007, primarily due to a EUR 241 million charge for the final settlement of asbestos claims and a total of EUR 89 million restructuring and acquisitionrelated charges, partly offset by a EUR 45 million gain on the sale of the Speech Recognition activities within Healthcare.
  • Healthcare EBITA came in at EUR 197 million, including a EUR 45 million gain on the sale of Philips Speech Recognition Systems. Excluding this gain, EBITA amounted to EUR 152 million, or 8.4% of sales, impacted by acquisition-related charges of EUR 17 million and lower earnings, mainly at Imaging Systems, partly offset by higher earnings at Home Healthcare Solutions and Clinical Care Systems.
  • Consumer Lifestyle EBITA declined by EUR 76 million, largely due to restructuring charges of EUR 61 million, the majority of which were related to the Television business. Adjusted for these charges, EBITA margin improved by 0.6 percentage points to 5.9% of sales.
  • Lighting EBITA of EUR 196 million, including EUR 11 million of restructuring and acquisition-related charges, was slightly above the earnings of Q3 2007, which included net incidental gains of EUR 11 million. Additional earnings from Genlyte were largely offset by lower margins at the other businesses, notably Lamps and Automotive.
  • I&EB EBITA declined compared to Q3 2007 as a result of increased investments in the Incubators and emerging markets, as well as lower IP license income.
  • GM&S EBITA was impacted by a EUR 241 million charge related to actions to establish the final settlement of asbestos-related claims.

Cash flows from operating activities

Financial income and expenses

  • Net interest charges increased by EUR 8 million compared to Q3 2007 as a result of a lower average cash position.
  • The sale of Philips' remaining stake in TSMC resulted in a gain of EUR 302 million; TSMC dividend income of EUR 23 million was also recognized during the quarter.
  • Other results includes the sale of shares in D&M and Digimarc, which yielded a gain of EUR 24 million, while Q3 2007 included a gain of EUR 31 million on the sale of shares in Nuance Communications.

Cash balance

  • The Group cash balance declined by EUR 30 million during the quarter to EUR 2,460 million, mainly as a result of the further buy-back of shares totaling EUR 0.8 billion, partly offset by EUR 633 million proceeds from the sale of the final stake in TSMC, free cash inflow and proceeds from the sale of the stake in D&M.
  • Q3 2007 included the EUR 515 million acquisition of Color Kinetics and share repurchases totaling EUR 789 million.

Cash flows from operating activities

• Operating activities generated a cash inflow of EUR 182 million in the quarter, compared to an inflow of EUR 382 million in Q3 2007. This reduction was largely attributable to lower proceeds from a TSMC cash dividend, higher interest payments and a restricted outflow associated with the creation of an asbestos-related trust account. Excluding these items, cash flow from operating activities was higher than in Q3 2007, thanks to lower working capital requirements at Healthcare and Lighting.

Gross capital expenditures (PPE*)

* Capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment only

Net debt and group equity

Number of employees (FTEs) *

Gross capital expenditures

• Gross capital expenditures were higher than in Q3 2007, mainly as a result of higher investments in energy-efficient capacity at Lighting.

Inventories

  • Inventories increased from EUR 3.8 billion at the end of Q3 2007 to EUR 4.2 billion due to the addition of inventory at Respironics and Genlyte as well as higher inventories at Lamps and Imaging Systems.
  • As a percentage of sales, inventories increased from 14.2% in Q3 2007 to 15.4%, attributable to increases across the sectors with the exception of Consumer Lifestyle.

Net debt and group equity

  • At the end of September 2008, the net debt position of EUR 1.5 billion compared to a EUR 1.4 billion net cash position a year ago. Sequentially, net debt was unchanged compared to Q2 2008 as proceeds from the sale of the remaining stake in TSMC (EUR 0.6 billion) and free cash flows were offset by further share repurchases of EUR 0.8 billion.
  • Group equity declined by EUR 0.8 billion compared to the end of June 2008. This was mainly attributable to the share repurchase program, which has resulted in the year-to-date purchase of approximately 123 million shares at an average price of less than EUR 24 per share.

Employment

  • At the end of September 2008, the number of employees was broadly in line with the level of Q3 2007 as higher personnel numbers at Healthcare and Lighting – mainly the result of acquisitions – were offset by the divestment of MedQuist and headcount reductions in other sectors.
  • The quarter-on-quarter reduction in the number of employees was mainly related to the divestment of MedQuist.

Business highlights

  • Philips continued to expand the industrial and commercial footprint of its healthcare business in fast-growing emerging markets via the acquisition of India-based Alpha X-Ray Technologies.
  • Under a deal struck during the quarter, the Florida Disney Children's Hospital will have the first children's emergency department in the US to feature Ambient Experience design solutions from Philips.
  • Philips launched the Suresign VM3 in India the first patient monitor specifically designed for high-growth emerging markets – in order to capture a larger slice of the Indian patient monitoring market.
  • Commercial delivery of Philips' cutting-edge Brilliance iCT scanner continued, with recent installations in healthcare facilities in the US, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany.

Financial performance

  • Equipment order intake grew 4% on a currency-comparable basis, supported largely by growth at Patient Monitoring and Clinical Care Systems. Year-to-date equipment order intake growth now stands at 5%.
  • Sales grew 5% comparably year-on-year, with higher sales visible in all businesses, and particularly strong growth at Customer Services and Patient Monitoring. Respironics grew in line with expectation at 14% compared to Q3 2007.
  • EBITA amounted to EUR 197 million, or 10.9% of sales, including a EUR 45 million gain on the sale of Philips Speech Recognition Systems. Adjusted for the gain on Speech Recognition Systems and EUR 17 million of acquisition and integration-related charges, EBITA was below Q3 2007 at EUR 169 million, or 9.4% of sales. Higher earnings at Clinical Care Systems and Home Healthcare Solutions were offset by lower earnings at Imaging Systems, which was impacted by lower volume and margin pressures.
  • Net operating capital increased by EUR 4.0 billion compared to Q3 2007, mainly due to acquisitions. This also explains the increase in the number of employees.

  • For 2008, acquisition and integration charges related to Respironics, VISICU and Emergin are estimated at approximately EUR 95 million, of which around EUR 25 million is expected to impact EBITA in Q4.

  • Healthcare will accelerate a number of initiatives to improve margins and to further optimize its operations structure, particularly in Imaging Systems. This is expected to lead to charges of approximately EUR 50 million in Q4.
  • Philips will become the first-ever Magnetic Resonance equipment maker in Latin America when it commences production of these high-quality systems at its existing factory in Brazil in late October 2008, further strengthening Philips' industrial footprint in emerging markets.

EBITA

Business highlights

  • Philips showcased its latest consumer-driven innovations at Europe's largest consumer electronics show, IFA in Berlin, with the new ultra-slim Philips Essence TV and Cinema One, a new home theater system, as key highlights.
  • Leveraging profound consumer insights and following extensive market research, Philips in the UK launched a range of Intimate Massagers designed for use by couples.
  • Philips has introduced the next generation of its 20 million unit-selling Senseo coffee maker, the Senseo Latte Select, which can make cappuccino, latte macchiato or caffé latte by automatically adding frothed fresh milk.
  • Philips' LED Backlighting LCD TV and Streamium Wireless Micro Hi-Fi system were named as the best products in their respective categories in 2008-2009 by the prestigious European Imaging & Sound Association (EISA).

Financial performance

  • Softening consumer demand in mature markets, together with ongoing portfolio and margin management, resulted in an 8% comparable sales decline. Sales in emerging markets continued to grow (up 2% on a comparable basis compared to Q3 2007) albeit at a slower pace than in recent quarters.
  • Good growth at Health & Wellness and Domestic Appliances could not compensate for sales declines in most of the other businesses, notably Television which saw a sales decline of 9%.
  • The acceleration of restructuring plans led to total charges of EUR 61 million, of which EUR 40 million related to Television and EUR 21 million mostly to the other former CE businesses within the sector.
  • Despite the lower sales level, EBITA margin excluding restructuring charges remained robust at 5.9% of sales, as a result of consistent margin and cost management.

  • Consumer Lifestyle expects to incur further restructuring charges of around EUR 60 million in Q4, largely in the Television business. This will bring the total amount to approximately EUR 190 million for the full year, of which EUR 130 million relates to Television.

  • In order to limit the impact of rising prices for raw materials and other commodities, the sector will take measures to protect margins, including further portfolio management.
  • Consumer Lifestyle will introduce several new products in Q4, including the second-generation Wake-Up Light and the latest Philips Network Music Players.

Business highlights

  • Lighting took another step in further leveraging its recently acquired consumer luminaires business by introducing the energy-saving Ecomoods consumer-luminaire range in Europe and Asia.
  • At the Automechanika Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, Philips announced a number of new automotive lighting innovations, including the EcoVision headlamp that consumes 20% less energy and lasts twice as long as a standard car headlamp while providing 10% more light.
  • Philips was chosen to light the first-ever Formula One night race, which recently took place in Singapore, based on the strictest criteria concerning safety as well as providing the best viewing experience.
  • Philips has won contracts to replace the fluorescent lamps in all freezers in Sainsbury's and Tesco stores in the UK with innovative lighting solutions using Philips Luxeon LEDs, which deliver significant benefits in terms of energy efficiency and resistance to extreme temperature conditions.

Financial performance

  • Comparable sales grew 6% compared to Q3 2007, driven by continued strong growth in emerging markets (17%) and energy-efficient lighting applications (18%), including very strong growth in LED solutions. This growth was tempered by a continued market slowdown in Western Europe and North America.
  • Despite the visible market slowdown, both the European Professional Luminaires business and Genlyte in North America delivered comparable sales growth year-over-year.
  • Earnings of EUR 196 million (including EUR 11 million of restructuring and acquisition-related charges) were EUR 6 million above the level of Q3 2007, which included net incidental gains of EUR 11 million. The positive impact of the addition of the Genlyte EBITA was offset by margin compression in mature markets as a result of slowing demand, particularly in the construction and automotive segments.
  • The increase in net operating capital and employees was primarily a result of the Genlyte acquisition in Q1 2008.

  • In view of macro-economic developments, Lighting expects to take a charge of up to EUR 100 million in Q4 to further increase organizational effectiveness and strengthen its position as the industry leader.

  • Lighting will also continue to focus on working capital and selectively increase prices further to protect margins.
  • In the coming months, Lighting will expand its LED offerings for the professional and consumer segments, launching a range of innovative LED products: the UrbanLine for street lighting, Ledino consumer luminaires, Master LED for hospitality, the Fortimo downlight for shops, DayWave for offices and ColorReach for city beautification.

  • Philips has announced that it is developing an ultrasoundbased 'microbubbles' drug delivery system, designed to increase the effectiveness and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy treatment for certain types of cancer.

  • Philips Research and the University of Urbino have signed a research agreement to study the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticle contrast agents inside living blood cells.
  • Philips and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have signed an agreement to jointly develop new energy-efficiency lighting and temperature management solutions for buildings.

Financial performance

• EBITA of Innovation & Emerging Businesses was in line with expectation. The earnings decline compared to Q3 2007 was attributable to higher investment in the Incubators and emerging markets, as well as lower IP license income.

  • Investment in Innovation & Emerging Businesses is expected to be lower than the run rate of EUR 40 million per quarter, consistent with previous guidance.
  • Triggered by the ongoing weakness in the semiconductor market, Assembléon expects restructuring activities in Q4, leading to charges estimated at EUR 18 million.

Financial performance

  • Group Management & Services reported a total negative result of EUR 314 million, including EUR 241 million charges for the final settlement of asbestos-related claims and associated legal fees.
  • Compared to Q3 2007, higher corporate and regional overhead costs were partly due to incidental legal fees.
  • Brand campaign investments were broadly in line with expectations, with major campaigns shifted to Q4.

  • The investment in the brand campaign is expected to amount to EUR 37 million in Q4 2008.

  • Country and regional overhead costs are expected to remain at the level of Q4 2007: it is expected that cost reductions will be offset by incidental charges.

Highlights in the 1st nine months

Management summary

  • Sales for the first nine months totaled EUR 18.8 billion, 2% higher than in the corresponding period of 2007 on a comparable basis. The year-to-date share of total sales attributable to emerging markets was 30%, one percentage point above last year. Order intake at Healthcare rose 5%, which is one percentage point above the first nine months of 2007. Sales at Healthcare showed comparable growth of 4% compared to the first nine months of 2007, while comparable sales at Consumer Lifestyle remained flat. Lighting showed a 5% increase year-on-year.
  • EBITA in the first nine months was EUR 806 million, 33% lower than in the corresponding period of 2007, mainly due to EUR 241 million of charges related to the final asbestos claim settlement, higher incidental charges at Consumer Lifestyle and acquisition-related charges at Healthcare and Lighting, partly offset by the gains on the sale of the Set-Top Box and Speech Recognition activities.
  • Net income in the first nine months of 2008 decreased by EUR 1.5 billion compared to the first nine months of 2007. This reduction is attributable to a EUR 505 million lower EBIT and a EUR 1.2 billion decline in financial income, mainly related to lower gains from the sale of TSMC shares and a EUR 299 million impairment charge with respect to NXP.
  • Cash flows from operating activities showed an earningsrelated decline of EUR 414 million compared to the first nine months of 2007.
  • Net operating capital increased by EUR 6.0 billion compared to the level at the end of Q3 2007, largely due to the recent acquisitions.

Outlook

Looking to the ongoing deterioration in the macro-economic environment, we are cautious on end-market demand for the fourth quarter, in particular for the construction and retail sectors. We will continue to pro-actively initiate actions to protect margins through the selective implementation of price increases and the acceleration of already-planned projects across all sectors, for which we foresee charges of up to EUR 230 million in Q4. These projects will reduce cost and will further simplify our supply chain and industrial infrastructure.

While these actions will affect our short-term profitability, they will accelerate the structural improvement of margins and allow us to make further progress towards our goals for 2010.

Philips has a strong balance sheet. To date, we have completed EUR 3.1 billion of our current EUR 5 billion share repurchase program which we announced in December 2007. Going forward, in light of both the risks and opportunities presented by the deterioration of the economy and the financial market turbulence, we will slow down the completion of the program.
