Philips reports third-quarter comparable sales growth of 5% to EUR 6.1 billion; EBITA of EUR 450 million

  • Comparable sales up 5%, with all three sectors contributing to growth
  • Sales in growth geographies up 10% on a comparable basis, now representing 36% of total revenue
  • Reported EBITA of EUR 450 million, or 7.3% of sales
  • Net income of EUR 170 million
  • Free cash flow of EUR 395 million

Q3 financials: Strong growth at Healthcare and growth businesses in Consumer Lifestyle. Profit margin improvements for the Group led by Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare.

Healthcare comparable sales grew by 7%, led by double-digit growth at Imaging Systems and high-single-digit growth at Home Healthcare Solutions. In growth geographies, comparable sales increased by 14%. Currency-comparable order intake increased by 6% year-on-year. Reported EBITA margin for the quarter was 13.5%.

Consumer Lifestyle comparable sales increased by 3%, driven by double-digit growth in the combined growth businesses, i.e. Personal Care, Health & Wellness and Domestic Appliances. These sales increases were partly offset by a decline at Lifestyle Entertainment. Reported EBITA margin for the quarter was 8.5%.

Lighting comparable sales increased by 4%, with double-digit growth at Lumileds and Automotive and low-single-digit growth at Light Sources & Electronics. LED-based sales grew by 51% and now account for 24% of total Lighting sales. Reported EBITA margin for the quarter was 2.2%, reflecting higher restructuring and acquisition-related charges as well as a loss on the sale of industrial assets. Excluding these items, EBITA amounted to 7.0%.

We have completed 63% of our EUR 2 billion share buy-back program since the start of the program in July 2011.

Accelerate! program continues to make good progress

Our multi-year change and performance improvement program Accelerate! continues to make good progress. Philips employees across the globe are becoming more entrepreneurial, resulting in stronger growth for the company, an encouraging sign in a weak global economy. We continued to extend the number of LEAN End-to-End transformations in the last quarter, paving the way for a simplified and more efficient future IT platform. Additionally, we started a program to improve procurement effectiveness and see significant opportunities to reduce the cost of goods and improve gross margins in 2013 and beyond.

Our actions to deliver on our overhead cost-reduction program are on track. Cumulative savings amounted to EUR 306 million through the third quarter of 2012. We recently communicated that we have increased our overhead cost savings target to EUR 1.1 billion. The increased savings will require a step-up in restructuring charges this year. We now expect restructuring and acquisition-related charges of approximately EUR 300 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

CEO quote:

Philips' operational and financial performance in the third quarter demonstrates further progress on our path towards our 2013 financial targets, driven by our transformation program Accelerate!. Our investments in building meaningful innovative solutions to meet the needs of our customers in local markets are positively impacting our growth and performance. Improvements in our operational excellence and agility are positioning the company for better performance in the coming years. The recently announced additional cost savings, as well as our actions to drive higher savings from procurement, further underpin our profitability potential.

Group sales growth in the quarter of 5%, together with the cost productivity improvements we have made, enabled us to deliver an EBITA margin of 9.2%, excluding non-operational charges.

Our Healthcare business continues to perform well as comparable sales grew 7% and order intake increased by 6%. The growth businesses in Consumer Lifestyle posted another solid quarter, delivering a double-digit revenue increase. In Lighting, LED-based sales continued to show strong momentum with comparable sales growth of over 50%, which requires us to accelerate the rationalization of our conventional lighting industrial footprint.

We continue to experience strong economic headwinds on a global scale, which affect growth going forward. Our Accelerate! program is helping to mitigate some of these pressures, and we have full confidence in our ability to continue improving the operational and financial performance of the company.

Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips Electronics

  • Consumer Lifestyle EBITA amounted to EUR 124 million, compared to EUR 62 million in Q3 2011.

Financial income and expenses

• Financial income and expenses amounted to a net expense of EUR 94 million, broadly in line with Q3 2011.

Cash balance

  • The group cash balance increased during the quarter to EUR 3,232 million, largely due to a free cash inflow of EUR 395 million. This was partly offset by the net impact of EUR 135 million for our buy-back program and the delivery of shares related to the long-term incentive employee program. In addition, there was a net decrease of EUR 141 million mainly related to debt redemption.
  • In Q3 2011, the cash balance decreased to EUR 2,339 million, mainly due to the use of EUR 525 million for treasury share transactions, a free cash outflow of EUR 172 million, and EUR 98 million cash outflow related to discontinued operations.

Cash flows from operating activities

• Operating activitiesresulted in a cash inflow of EUR 651 million, compared to an inflow of EUR 45 million in Q3 2011. The Q3 2012 figure includes a net decrease in working capital of EUR 222 million, compared to a net increase in working capital of EUR 292 million in Q3 2011. The remaining difference compared to Q3 2011 is mainly attributable to higher earnings and a net increase in provisions.

Inventories

as a % of moving annual total sales

Gross capital expenditure

• Gross capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment were EUR 8 million lower than in Q3 2011, mainly due to lower investments at Lighting.

Inventories

  • Inventories as a percentage of sales amounted to 16.7%, slightly below the previous quarter's 16.8%. Inventory value at the end of Q3 2012 was EUR 4.1 billion, an increase of EUR 98 million in the quarter that was largely attributable to Consumer Lifestyle in preparation for Q4 sales.
  • Compared to Q3 2011, inventories were 1.5 percentage points of sales lower due to reduced production inventory across all sectors, mainly in Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare.

Net debt and group equity

  • At the end of Q3 2012, Philips had net debt of EUR 1.5 billion, compared to EUR 1.2 billion at the end of Q3 2011. During the quarter, the net debt position decreased by EUR 302 million, largely due to a free cash inflow of EUR 395 million.
  • Group equity decreased by EUR 96 million in the quarter to EUR 12.1 billion. The decrease was largely a result of treasury share transactions, partially offset by currency effects and net income earned during the period.

Employees

  • The number of employees decreased by 517 in the quarter. This includes 488 as a result of footprint reduction activities within Lighting.
  • Compared to Q3 2011, the number of employees increased by 30. This increase reflects the addition of 2,890 employees from acquisitions, the departure of 905 employees due to divestments, and a reduction of around 1,955 employees, mainly as a result of the company's overhead reduction program, primarily at Lighting and IG&S.

  • At the 2012 Australian International Design competition, Philips received two awards for the Sonicare DiamondClean power toothbrush and the QuickClean Juicer.

Financial performance

  • Sales increased 9% nominally year-on-year. On a comparable basis, sales increased 3%, driven by doubledigit growth in the combined growth businesses, i.e. Personal Care, Health & Wellness and Domestic Appliances, partly offset by a double-digit decline at Lifestyle Entertainment.

  • EBITA included EUR 7 million of net costs formerly reported as part of the Television business in Consumer Lifestyle (Q3 2011: EUR 16 million).
  • Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 9 million in Q3 2012 and EUR 10 million in Q3 2011, EBITA margin increased from 5.4% to 9.2%. The EBITA improvement was driven by higher sales across all growth businesses, higher License revenue, nonmanufacturing cost efficiencies, and lower net costs formerly reported as part of the Television business.

  • Net operating capital increased by EUR 279 million as lower working capital was more than offset by higher intangible assets related to the Povos acquisition and by a reduction in the accounts payable balance related to the former Television business in Consumer Lifestyle. Inventories as a percentage of sales improved by 2.5 percentage points compared to Q3 2011.

  • The number of employees increased by 2,754 year-on year. This was largely attributable to the acquisition of Povos and an increase in the growth businesses.

  • In China, Philips lit up the Pu Wan Bridge in Dalian and Guangxi's sports center. In addition, Philips provided LED solutions for a 22 kilometer tunnel project in Dantong, saving up to 40% on energy consumption.
  • Philips will deliver more than 200,000 high-quality, energy-saving MASTER LED lampsto the Rezidor Hotel Group, which includes well-known brands such as Radisson. The project will be implemented in Europe over the next year.

Financial performance

  • Comparable sales were 4% higher year-on-year, driven by double-digit sales growth at Lumileds and Automotive, and low-single-digit sales growth at Light Sources & Electronics. Sales at Professional Lighting Solutions were flat, while Consumer Luminaires' sales were slightly below the Q3 2011 level.
  • From a regional perspective, comparable sales in growth geographies increased by 11% compared to Q3 2011, partly offset by a low-single-digit decline in North America and Europe.
  • LED-based sales grew 51% compared to Q3 2011, and now represent 24% of total Lighting sales.
  • EBITA amounted to EUR 47 million, compared to EUR 110 million in Q3 2011. Earnings were impacted by an increase in restructuring and acquisition-related charges, as well as a loss on the sale of industrial assets.

  • EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 68 million (Q3 2011: EUR 11 million) and a loss on the sale of industrial assets of EUR 34 million, was EUR 149 million, or 7.0% of sales (Q3 2011: EUR 121 million, or 6.4% of sales). This year-on-year EBITA improvement was driven by revenue growth and improvements in the cost structure. Lumileds, Automotive and Professional Lighting Solutions were the main contributors to the EBITA improvement.

  • Net operating capital decreased by EUR 131 million to EUR 5,107 million. The decrease was largely driven by improved working capital management and an increase in provisions related to restructuring charges, partly offset by the consolidation of Indal in Q1 2012 as well as currency impact. Inventories as a percentage of sales improved by 1% year-on-year.
  • Compared to Q3 2011, the number of employees decreased by 2,389. The increase due to the consolidation of the Indal acquisition was more than offset by the overhead cost reductions and the rationalization of our industrial footprint.

Miscellaneous

• Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q4 2012 are expected to total approximately EUR 145 million.

EBITA

Business highlights

  • Philips increased its brand value by 5% in 2012 to over USD 9 billion in the ranking of the top-100 global brands compiled by Interbrand. In the 2012 listing, Philips maintained its ranking as the 41st most valuable brand in the world.
  • For a second consecutive year, Philips achieved the status of supersector leader in the 2012 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). The result highlights Philips' leadership in sustainability, which is an integral part of the company's health and well-being strategy.
  • Using Philips' digital pathology system, the Erasmus Medical Center is the first hospital in the Netherlands to switch to digital pathology for their experimental laboratory analysis of cell and tissue samples. This transformation, enabled by Philips Digital Pathology (part of Philips' Healthcare Incubator), is an important step in tumor research and aims to speed up and improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases.

Financial performance

  • Sales decreased from EUR 99 million in Q3 2011 to EUR 92 million in Q3 2012, due to lower royalty income.
  • EBITA amounted to a net cost of EUR 51 million, which is a EUR 14 million lower net cost than in Q3 2011. The year-on-year change was largely due to legal and environmental expenses incurred in Q3 2011 (in Service Units and Other) and favorable results in Pensions, partly offset by higher investments in Group Innovation and Accelerate!.
  • Service Units and Other EBITA was negatively impacted in Q3 2011 by EUR 38 million of legal and environmental provisions related to a discount rate change, as well as EUR 17 million of net costs formerly reported as part of the Television business in Consumer Lifestyle (Q3 2012: EUR 3 million).
  • Compared to Q3 2011, the number of employees decreased by 676, primarily due to restructuring activities in the Service Units, particularly in IT.
  • Net operating capital decreased by EUR 858 million, mainly due to an increase in net pension liabilities in Q4 2011 and a decrease in the value of currency hedges held at Group level.

Miscellaneous

• Restructuring charges in Q4 2012 are expected to total approximately EUR 20 million.

Statements regarding market share, including those regarding Philips' competitive position, contained in this document are based on outside sources such as 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-GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips Group's financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. A reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further information on non-GAAP measures can be found in our Annual Report 2011.

Use of fair-value measurements

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 do not exist, we estimated the fair values using appropriate valuation models, and when observable market data are not available, we used unobservable inputs. They 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 our 2011 financial statements. Independent valuations may have been obtained to support management's determination of fair values.

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