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.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of 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, levels of consumer and business spending in major economies, changes in consumer tastes and preferences, changes in law, the performance of the financial markets, pension costs, the levels of marketing and promotional expenditures by Philips and its competitors, raw materials and employee costs, changes in exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations, acquisitions or dispositions and the rate of technological changes, political and military developments in countries where Philips operates, and industry consolidation. Statements regarding market share, including as to 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 robust growth in sales and EBITA

  • Comparable sales increased by 7% to EUR 6,524 million, driven by growth in the consumer businesses and in key emerging markets.
  • EBITA grew to EUR 438 million, or 6.7% of sales, compared with EUR 71 million, or 1.1% of sales, in Q3 2006.
  • Net income amounted to EUR 331 million; Q3 2006 net income included a gain of EUR 4,241 million, largely attributable to the sale of our Semiconductors division.

Gerard Kleisterlee, President and CEO of Royal Philips Electronics:

"Q3 was another quarter of improved year-on-year performance for Philips. Sales increased by 7% while EBITA rose to EUR 438 million, taking our EBITA margin to 6.7% for the quarter. It's particularly encouraging to see impressive growth in areas that have become, and will continue to be, increasingly important for our company, such as the key emerging markets of Latin America, China and India.

Results at Medical Systems, while still a strong contributor to group earnings, were adversely affected by the further contraction of the imaging systems market in North America, largely due to the impact of the US Budget Deficit Reduction Act. However, the performance of Medical Systems improved in all regions outside of the United States and in businesses such as Ultrasound & Monitoring and Customer Services within the US.

In Lighting, we continued to capitalize on our strong position in energyefficient lighting solutions, and we will continue to grow our business in this

area going forward. In our consumer businesses, we benefited from the recent introduction of a number of innovative and exciting new products, positioning our new Consumer Lifestyle sector for a winning start.

With our results improving quarter after quarter, I feel that Philips is well positioned to meet the objectives outlined in our recently communicated 'Vision 2010' strategic plan."

Highlights in the quarter

Net income

  • Income from continuing operations amounted to EUR 333 million, compared to EUR 1 million in the same period of last year. Q3 2006 included the after-tax impact of a EUR 265 million asbestos-related product liability charge.
  • Results relating to equity-accounted investees improved by EUR 209 million compared to the corresponding period of 2006 due to higher income from LG.Philips LCD.
  • Income tax included EUR 91 million in charges related to a reduction in the value of carried-forward tax losses resulting from a decrease in the corporate tax rate in Germany.
  • Income from discontinued operations in Q3 2006 was due to the estimated gain on the sale of a majority stake in our former Semiconductors division.

Sales by sector

  • Sales of EUR 6,524 million represent comparable growth of 7% compared to Q3 2006. Nominal sales, including the impact of portfolio changes and currency movements, increased by 3% year-on-year. All businesses contributed to the comparable growth, led by strong sales in the consumer divisions and across key emerging markets.
  • Medical Systems saw double-digit sales growth in its Ultrasound & Monitoring and Healthcare Informatics businesses tempered by lower sales in the North American imaging systems business.
  • Sales at DAP continued to show exceptional growth, supported by all businesses. Sales at CE increased 8% on a comparable basis, with higher sales visible across all operational businesses.
  • At Lighting, strong comparable sales growth at Luminaires, Automotive and Lamps was largely offset by the ongoing contraction of the UHP lamp market and the exit from the LCD backlighting business.

Sales by region

• The increase in comparable sales in Europe/Africa was driven by growth in the emerging Eastern European markets as well as in the major economies. Sales in North America were impacted by weaker market conditions while Latin America saw strong growth, particularly in the smaller emerging countries. Comparable sales growth in Asia Pacific was particularly strong in China and India.

Earnings

  • Excluding last year's EUR 265 million product liability charge, EBITA improved by EUR 102 million, or 1.4 percentage points, compared to Q3 2006, driven mainly by Lighting and the consumer businesses.
  • At Medical Systems, lower EBITA at Imaging Systems, which continued to be impacted by the US Budget Deficit Reduction Act, could not be fully compensated by improvements in the other business areas.
  • DAP's EBITA increased as a result of sales growth in all businesses coupled with ongoing cost management.
  • EBITA at CE improved due to higher earnings at Entertainment Solutions, Home Networks and Peripherals & Accessories, partly offset by lower EBITA at Connected Displays.
  • Lighting's EBITA improved year-on-year in most businesses, including the positive impact of Consumer Luminaires (PLI). EBITA included a EUR 11 million net gain on the sale of real estate as well as restructuring and other incidental charges; the corresponding amount in Q3 2006 for restructuring and miscellaneous net charges was EUR 32 million.
  • EBITA at Innovation & Emerging Businesses improved compared to Q3 2006, driven by the divestment of lowmargin businesses and improved margin at Lifeline.
  • EBITA at Group Management & Services benefited from lower corporate and pension-related costs. Q3 2006 included a product liability charge of EUR 265 million.

Net cash discontinued operations 6,742 -
Ending balance 7,272 5,159

Cash balance

  • During the quarter, the cash balance decreased by EUR 1,102 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Color Kinetics for EUR 515 million and additional share repurchases totaling EUR 789 million, of which EUR 326 million for cancellation.
  • Net cash from discontinued operations in Q3 2006 consisted of cash received from the sale of a majority stake in our former Semiconductors division.

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities

• Operating activities generated cash flows totaling EUR 388 million in the third quarter, largely driven by net income. The cash flow in Q3 2006 was positively impacted by certain items related to the sale of a majority stake in the Semiconductors division which were subsequently reclassified in Q4 2006.

Gross capital expenditures (PPE*)

* Capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment only ** Excluding gross capital expenditures related to the Q3 2006 timing difference in the finalization of the sale of the Semiconductors division

Gross capital expenditures (PPE*)

• Gross capital expenditures remained broadly in line with Q3 2006. Additional investments, mainly at Medical Systems, were offset by lower capital expenditure at Lighting and DAP.

Inventories

• Excluding the year-on-year impact of currency changes, inventories as a percentage of sales increased by 1.1 percentage points. This was primarily due to higher inventories at Medical Systems (mainly Customer Servicesrelated) and at Lighting due to the acquisition of Color Kinetics and Partners in Lighting International (PLI) which – because of its business model – has an inventory level above the divisional average.

Net debt and group equity

Number of employees (FTEs)

Net debt and group equity

  • During the quarter, the net cash position decreased by EUR 1.0 billion, mainly due to a EUR 1.1 billion decline in liquid assets. This decline was primarily attributable to a cash outflow of EUR 789 million for share repurchases and EUR 515 million for the acquisition of Color Kinetics.
  • In the quarter, Group equity declined by EUR 1.3 billion to EUR 20.9 billion as the positive impact of net income was more than offset by additional share repurchases, a decline in the market value of the Company's stake in TSMC and currency translation effects.

Employment

• The number of employees at the end of Q3 2007 was 128,119 compared to 125,564 at the end of Q3 2006. The increase is mainly due to acquisitions completed during the last 12 months – notably Intermagnetics and PLI – partly offset by divestments, mainly Optical Storage and the Enabling Technologies Group within Corporate Investments.

EBITA

Business highlights

  • Philips announced it has acquired healthcare IT company XIMIS Inc., which focuses on systems to help reduce errors and streamline workflow in hospital radiology wards.
  • For the 15th year in a row, US customers ranked Philips #1 for service performance in ultrasound in an annual survey by IMV ServiceTrak™ – a market research organization focusing on medical imaging and clinical diagnostic instruments.
  • Medical Systems achieved important new business wins in the quarter, including a three-year imaging systems contract from the US-based Premier Imaging Committee. Additionally, the Wellmont Health System entered into a three-year strategic alliance with Philips through which it is set to become the area's premier cardiovascular destination center.

Financial performance

  • During the quarter, equipment order intake grew 3% on a currency-comparable basis compared to Q3 2006. Outside North America, order intake remained robust. In the US, growth at Ultrasound & Monitoring and General X-Ray was tempered by lower order intake at Imaging Systems, mainly in Computed Tomography, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular X-Ray. The increasing impact of the US Budget Deficit Reduction Act continued to pressure the imaging systems industry.
  • Comparable sales grew 3% year-on-year thanks to strong growth at Ultrasound & Monitoring, Healthcare Informatics and Customer Services. Year-on-year sales at Imaging Systems declined however, particularly in CT, which suffered from the ongoing market contraction. MedQuist sales fell 9% comparably due to a decline in transcription revenues.
  • EBITA declined by EUR 10 million, or 0.8 percentage points, compared to Q3 2006, primarily driven by the decline in sales performance of Computed Tomography. Excluding Computed Tomography, EBITA improved by 0.7 percentage points, driven by solid margin expansion in Ultrasound & Monitoring, Customer Services and by sales growth outside of the US.
  • Net operating capital and headcount increased, mainly due to the acquisition of Intermagnetics in Q4 2006.

Looking ahead

• The ongoing impact of the US Budget Deficit Reduction Act is expected to lead to a broadly flat year-on-year US healthcare market. We expect to partially offset the impact on our business through sales growth outside North America and the contribution from acquisitions.

EBITA

Business highlights

  • Philips introduced two new shaving innovations. The Arcitec targets the high end of the male shaving market and was launched globally in September. Philips also launched in September a new Moisturizing Shaving System developed with Nivea For Men.
  • Philips showcased the next-generation, ultra-slim Sonicare FlexCare electrical toothbrush at a trade show of the American Dental Association in San Francisco. The FlexCare, which features a bacteria-killing UV sanitizer, will be available in the coming months.
  • In coffee-making, Philips further strengthened its position by entering the German espresso market with a new high-end espresso machine. This product will also be launched on other European markets in the future. Philips also added two special-edition Senseo coffee-makers to the product line-up.

Financial performance

  • Comparable sales grew 20% compared to Q3 2006, largely driven by strong growth at Shaving & Beauty, supported by the launch of the new shavers (Arcitec and Moisturizing Shaving System), and at Domestic Appliances, most notably Kitchen Appliances, due to a strong product portfolio and the successful healthy-living positioning.
  • All regions reported strong double-digit sales growth, led by a 33% comparable increase in emerging markets.
  • EBITA improved by EUR 39 million year-on-year, driven by higher sales and cost management.

Looking ahead

• Notwithstanding the 13% comparable sales growth achieved in Q4 2006, DAP expects sales growth to continue. The growth will be supported by higher advertising and promotion investments, particularly for the newly introduced ranges in Shaving and Oral Healthcare.

Business highlights

  • At IFA 2007 in Berlin, Philips unveiled Aurea, the latest TV with Philips' successful Ambilight feature. Aurea creates a halo of dynamic light within the frame and around the TV for an exceptionally immersive viewing experience.
  • Philips received two prestigious product awards from the European Imaging & Sound Association (EISA). An Ambilight FlatTV with Perfect Pixel HD Engine was named European Full-HD LCD TV 2007-2008, while the Philips SoundBar DVD Home Theater technology was named European Home Theater Compact System 2007-2008.
  • Peripherals & Accessories has launched several innovative product solutions such as Power4life – a power solutions product that allows users to charge all their portable devices with one integrated charger – and its active crystal range of wearable accessories developed in conjunction with Swarovski.

Financial performance

  • Consumer Electronics' sales amounted to EUR 2,520 million, a year-on-year comparable increase of 8%, with growth visible across all operating businesses and in all key emerging markets.
  • EBITA improved to EUR 36 million (1.4% of sales), compared to EUR 27 million (1.1% of sales) in Q3 2006. High margin pressure in Flat Displays, particularly in North America, was more than offset by higher EBITA in the other businesses.
  • Despite the increased sales level, net operating capital remained low, consistent with the division's business model.

Looking ahead

• Sales in the fourth quarter are expected to show strong yearon-year growth, supported by a number of new product introductions. It is expected that the competitive market environment in Flat Displays will continue, with pressure on margins.

EBITA

Business highlights

  • Philips announced the completion of the acquisition of USbased Color Kinetics, a leader in the design and marketing of innovative LED lighting systems, further strengthening Philips' position in the LED value chain and bolstering its strong LED intellectual property portfolio.
  • Enabling a 35% saving on energy costs, over 50,000 Philips CosmoPolis street-lighting systems have been installed in Europe, with interest from Asia and particularly China growing fast. There, energy-efficient products represent 44% of total Lighting sales, and 35 distribution points are being added each day in second and third-tier cities.
  • A study by the independent safety research organization TÜV Rheinland showed that if all vehicles on German roads were equipped with Xenon car lights, 18% of all fatalities could be avoided, saving 1,200 lives annually. Philips is the inventor and the world's leading manufacturer of Xenon car bulbs.

Financial performance

  • Sales amounted to EUR 1,496 million, representing 2% comparable growth compared to Q3 2006. Excluding the impact of the contracting UHP lighting market and the exit this year from fluorescent lamp-based LCD backlighting, sales increased 7% on a comparable basis, driven by the global demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions and strong growth in emerging markets.
  • EBITA increased by EUR 56 million compared to Q3 2006, including a EUR 20 million gain on the sale of real estate, which was partly offset by purchase accounting, restructuring and other net incidental charges totaling EUR 9 million. Q3 2006 included restructuring and miscellaneous net charges totaling EUR 32 million.
  • The increase in net operating capital and number of employees is related to the acquisition of PLI, Color Kinetics and TIR Systems.

Looking ahead

  • Charges for restructuring, together with purchase accounting and integration-related charges for Color Kinetics, of around EUR 15 million are expected in Q4 2007.
  • Lighting will continue to invest in green products to meet the rapidly growing global demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions.

The ultimate aim is to create new solutions for the early diagnosis of disease and for monitoring the effectiveness of subsequent treatment.
  • Philips introduced the 3D WOWzone, a 132-inch multiscreen 3D wall designed to grab people's attention with stunning 3D multimedia presentations. By creating a spellbinding 3D experience, marketing professionals can use this eye catcher to increase brand and product awareness in larger public spaces at events, exhibitions and theme parks.
  • Philips has received recognition for its leading designs from Asian design organizations. Five Philips lifestyle products have received iF China design awards 2008, while Philips Design's SKIN Probe program for explorative research aimed at identifying emerging trends and likely societal shifts has received the Red Dot Singapore: Best of the Best award, given to concepts considered pioneering in their field.

Financial performance

  • The investment-driven results within the Technologies/ Incubators sector were consistent with the run-rate of previous quarters.
  • Consumer Healthcare Solutions' EBITA improved compared to Q3 2006. Sales grew 15% on a comparable basis, led by Lifeline, which also supported the increase in earnings compared to Q3 2006.
  • The year-on-year EBITA improvement within the Corporate Investments portfolio was largely attributable to improved earnings driven by the divestment of low-margin businesses.

Looking ahead

• Investment in Research and the Incubators is expected to continue at approximately the same level as in Q3 2007.

The total estimated value of the Philips brand increased by 15% to USD 7.7 billion, from USD 6.7 billion in 2006. Philips was ranked the 42nd most valuable brand in the world, compared with 48th last year.
  • Philips launched its EcoVision IV program, through which it aims to double sales of green products over the next five years to 30% of total revenues in comparison to 15% in 2006. To achieve this, Philips will, among other things, invest EUR 1 billion in green innovations.
  • Philips improved its performance in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes for the fourth year in a row and was named global leader in the supersector Personal and Household Goods. Philips scored 82 points out of 100, compared to 64 points in 2003.
  • E.com has awarded Philips' Annual Report 2006 a first-class, top 3 rating, a further improvement on last year's 7th position in the ranking of the world's best annual reports.
  • Philips and Infosys Technologies Ltd entered into a multi-year contract under which Infosys will provide finance and accounting services to Philips and acquire three shared-service centers in India, Poland and Thailand. As part of the agreement, approximately 1,400 Philips professionals will transfer to Infosys.

Financial performance

  • The EBITA of Group Management & Services improved significantly year-on-year due to the Q3 2006 product liability charge of EUR 265 million as well as lower corporate overhead charges and lower pension costs in the current quarter.
  • The increased investment in the brand campaign is wholly related to a shift in the annual spend pattern.

Looking ahead

  • Investments in the global brand campaign in Q4 are expected to total approximately EUR 60 million.
  • Restructuring charges of approximately EUR 10 million related to the simplification of the regional and country management structures are expected in Q4.

  • Sales for the first nine months totaled EUR 18,615 million, 3% higher on a comparable basis than in the corresponding period of 2006.
  • EBITA totaled EUR 1,180 million, a marked improvement compared to January-September 2006 driven by increased earnings at DAP and Lighting in particular, and reflecting the impact of a EUR 265 million product liability charge taken in Q3 2006.
  • In 2006, income from discontinued operations of EUR 4,335 million included both the operational results of Semiconductors for the first nine months and the gain from the sale of a majority 80.1% stake in the division in the third quarter.

Philips prepares to report in IFRS only

Currently, Philips' primary external and internal reporting is based on US GAAP. In addition, Philips issues quarterly and annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

It is expected that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will withdraw the requirement that 'Foreign Private Issuers' such as Philips file US GAAP based financial statements (or a reconciliation thereto) and will accept reporting solely based on IFRS. A final decision from the SEC is expected in the near future.

Anticipating the outcome of the SEC's decision, Philips will begin preparations to migrate to IFRS as its only internal and external reporting standard from January 1, 2009 and to discontinue the use of US GAAP as of the same date.

Subsequent events

Philips lowers its stake in LG.Philips LCD to 19.9%

On October 10, Philips announced it had sold 46.4 million shares of common stock in LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. ("LPL") to financial institutions in a capital markets transaction. This transaction represents 13.0% of LPL's issued share capital and reduces Philips' holding to 19.9%.

The transaction will provide Philips with net proceeds of approximately EUR 1.55 billion and is expected to result in a non-taxable gain of approximately EUR 500 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

This transaction is in line with Philips' communicated strategy to further reduce its holding in LPL in a structured and responsible manner, as the Company has already done with other financial holdings

Outlook

Outlook

Our robust third-quarter performance represents good progress towards achieving our sales and earnings targets – annual average top-line growth of 5-6% and EBITA of at least 7.5% of sales.

Going forward, we expect the Company's strong business portfolio, coupled with continuing growth in the majority of our geographies, particularly the emerging markets, will offset a potentially weaker US market environment.

We will continue the reallocation of capital by pursuing valuecreating acquisitions consistent with our strategic direction and will announce the next step in our program to return capital to shareholders together with the publication of our fourth-quarter results.

As of December 31, 2006, these limitations relate to common stock (EUR 228 million) as well as to legal reserves included under revaluation reserves (EUR 167 million), retained earnings (EUR 1,291 million) and other reserves (EUR 4,914 million), totaling EUR 6,600 million.

1) As of December 31, 2006, the item other reserves mainly relates to unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, of which EUR 4,670 million relates to our interest in TSMC. As of September 30, 2007, the unrealized gains relating to our TSMC shares have been reduced to EUR 1,984 million amongst others due to a further reduction of our stake in TSMC in 2007.
