Q1 Quarterly report April 14, 2009

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-GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips GroupÊs 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 measure(s) and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measure(s). A discussion of the non-GAAP measures included in this document and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable IFRS 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 observable market data 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 a 17% decline in sales to EUR 5.1 billion in Q1; net loss of EUR 59 million

  • Global downturn in consumer and lighting markets
  • Healthcare facing a very soft US hospital market; performance in emerging markets and Home Healthcare Solutions remains strong
  • EBITA loss of EUR 74 million includes charges of EUR 77 million
  • Reduction of fixed cost base progressing well and expected to exceed EUR 500 million annualized by the end of this year
  • Rigorous management of working capital continues; cash balance increased, net debt reduced

Gerard Kleisterlee, President and CEO of Royal Philips Electronics:

"In the first quarter of 2009 we have seen a significant further deterioration of our markets. While the effects were felt most strongly in our activities that cater to the consumer market and to the construction and automotive industries, our Healthcare sales are now impacted as well. We expect no material change to this situation in Q2.

As a consequence of the early action we took in 2008, the reduction of our fixed cost base has progressed well in Q1 and is now expected to exceed EUR 500 million on an annualized basis by the end of this year, with a further acceleration of restructuring in Q2, especially at Lighting.

At the same time we have continued to execute our strategy to further build leadership in Health and Well-being, maintaining investments in R&D, marketing and small acquisitions while divesting the remaining part of our

holding in LG Display. We will continue to invest in our future, while dynamically managing our cost base in line with revenue and giving high priority to cash flow and strong liquidity.

We remain convinced that Philips will come out of this recession as a stronger company. The portfolio of leading businesses we have built up is clearly not immune to the market woes we are now experiencing, but it is certainly more resilient than the portfolio we operated in the previous downturn. In addition, our strong balance sheet, including our solid cash position, and our ability to adjust our management priorities in line with the dynamics of external circumstances give me confidence in the future prospects of Philips."

Highlights in the quarter

Net income

  • The decline in net income reflects the impact of the increasingly weak economic environment on EBITA, which was partially offset by tax benefits.
  • Financial income fell by EUR 160 million, due to higher net interest expenses, EUR 89 million lower gains on the sale of shares in LG Display and a EUR 48 million impairment charge related to Philips' shareholding in NXP.
  • The lower income tax expense was mainly due to EUR 103 million of net tax benefits, including the recognition of a deferred tax asset for Lumileds and a number of tax settlements in the quarter.
  • Results of equity-accounted investees in Q1 2008 included EUR 66 million operational earnings of LG Display.

Sales by sector

  • Sales amounted to EUR 5,075 million, a nominal decline of 15% compared to Q1 2008. Excluding a positive currency effect of 2%, comparable sales fell by 17%, with lower sales across all business sectors, most notably at Consumer Lifestyle (-25%) and Lighting (-19%).
  • Healthcare sales declined 2% on a comparable basis. Strong growth at Home Healthcare Solutions and Customer Services was more than offset by lower sales at Imaging Systems, Patient Monitoring and Clinical Care Systems.
  • Consumer Lifestyle sales decreased by 25% on a comparable basis, with lower sales in all businesses except Health & Wellness, which grew by 8%. Sales at both Television and Audio & Video Multimedia fell by 33%, while Peripherals & Accessories saw a decline of 19%. Shaving & Beauty and Domestic Appliances, while comparatively more resilient, reported a sales decline of 11% and 9% respectively.
  • Lighting reported 19% lower sales on a comparable basis, with the largest declines in automotive lighting and the construction-related businesses of Lighting Electronics and Professional Luminaires. Sales at Lamps were 15% below the level of Q1 2008.

Sales per market cluster

  • Sales in mature markets declined 15% compared to Q1 2008, mainly due to Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting. Healthcare saw a modest decline in mature markets, albeit positive sales developments were seen in several countries including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain.
  • In emerging markets, comparable sales declined 21%, due to lower sales at Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting; Healthcare continued to see solid sales growth.

Earnings

  • EBITA decreased by EUR 339 million compared to Q1 2008, due to lower earnings in the three operating sectors, partly offset by lower costs in GM&S and I&EB.
  • EBIT was EUR 373 million lower than in Q1 2008, reflecting the lower EBITA and EUR 34 million higher amortization charges, primarily related to Respiratory.
  • Restructuring and acquisition-related charges totaled EUR 47 million, including restructuring charges of EUR 29 million at Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle. In Q1 2008, these charges totaled EUR 49 million.
  • Healthcare EBITA decreased by EUR 56 million compared to Q1 2008. This was largely due to margin deterioration, resulting from an adverse sales mix and price pressure across all businesses except Home Healthcare Solutions (driven by Respiratory) and Customer Services.
  • Consumer Lifestyle EBITA showed a loss of EUR 46 million, including a EUR 30 million product recall provision and EUR 13 million restructuring charges. Excluding these charges, EBITA was close to break-even, a decline of EUR 72 million compared to Q1 2008. This decline was attributable to lower earnings in all main businesses except Television.
  • Lighting EBITA decreased by EUR 198 million compared to Q1 2008, with lower profitability across all businesses, notably Lamps, Professional Luminaires and Automotive. The reduction in EBITA was attributable to the lower sales level, factory production cuts and an unfavorable product mix.

  • I&EB EBITA was EUR 4 million above the level of Q1 2008, primarily due to last year's loss on the sale of HTP Optics.
  • GM&S EBITA improved by EUR 26 million compared to Q1 2008. This was mainly driven by overhead cost reduction and a positive effect related to an environmental provision, partly offset by higher pension costs.

Financial income and expenses

  • Financial income and expenses included a EUR 69 million gain on the sale of the remaining shares in LG Display and the receipt of LG Display dividend income of EUR 12 million, as well as a EUR 48 million loss related to non-cash value adjustments in respect of Philips' shareholding in NXP. In Q1 2008, a EUR 158 million gain was recorded on the sale of shares in LG Display.
  • Net interest expense was EUR 55 million higher than in Q1 2008, mainly as a result of lower interest income.

Results relating to equity-accounted investees

• Results of equity-accounted investees in Q1 2008 included EUR 66 million operational earnings of LG Display.

Cash flows from operating activities

* Capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment only

Gross capital expenditures (PPE*)

Cash balance

  • The Group cash balance increased by EUR 0.4 billion to EUR 4.0 billion. Proceeds of EUR 0.6 billion from the sale of the remaining stake in LG Display and a EUR 0.2 billion increase in debt were partially offset by EUR 0.5 billion negative free cash flow.
  • In Q1 2008, the cash balance declined by EUR 4.1 billion, due to EUR 5.2 billion cash payments for acquisitions (Genlyte, Respironics and VISICU), EUR 1.0 billion share repurchases and free cash outflows of EUR 0.7 billion. The issuance of bonds led to a cash inflow of EUR 1.9 billion, while the sale of LG Display shares generated proceeds of EUR 0.7 billion.

Cash flows from operating activities

• Operating activities led to a cash outflow of EUR 306 million, compared to an outflow of EUR 514 million in Q1 2008. The year-on-year improvement was mainly attributable to lower working capital needs, partly offset by lower cash earnings. The improvement in working capital was mainly driven by Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle.

Gross capital expenditures

• Gross capital expenditures amounted to EUR 112 million, EUR 36 million lower than in Q1 2008, mainly due to lower investments at Consumer Lifestyle (mainly Television) and Lighting (mainly Lamps and Lumileds).

Inventories as a % of sales

Number of employees (FTEs) *

Inventories

  • As a percentage of sales, inventories declined from 13.6% at the end of Q1 2008 to 13.1% at the end of Q1 2009, driven by lower inventory at all three operating sectors.
  • In value, inventories decreased slightly from EUR 3.4 billion at the end of Q4 2008 to EUR 3.3 billion at the end of March 2009, with lower inventory at Consumer Lifestyle partly offset by increased inventory levels at Healthcare, due in part to the stronger US dollar.

Net debt and group equity

  • During Q1 2009, the net debt position declined by EUR 0.1 billion as the EUR 0.6 billion cash proceeds from the sale of LG Display shares were largely offset by a negative free cash flow and an increase in long-term debt due to the appreciation of USD-denominated bonds.
  • Group equity declined by EUR 0.4 billion, mainly due to the EUR 0.6 billion dividend payable, partly offset by favorable currency effects on the valuation of USDdenominated assets.

Employees

  • The number of employees declined by 5,216 in the quarter, predominantly at Lighting, as a result of both restructuring measures and seasonal reductions.
  • The number of employees decreased by 18,030 compared with Q1 2008, of which 5,600 are attributable to discontinued operations; most of the remainder is due to lower production and optimization of the organizational structure.

Business highlights

  • Home Healthcare Solutions announced plans to introduce innovative sleep therapy and respiratory solutions in India. This market entry will help drive additional growth for Philips both in the hospital and in the home.
  • At the Arab Health 2009 exhibition, Philips introduced a new ultrasound system designed to help clinicians deliver highquality care for a full range of women's health needs. The Philips HD9 system provides advanced imaging technology for obstetrics, gynecology and breast imaging.
  • The state-of-the-art Philips Brilliance iCT scanner, which provides a better visual of the heart in less time and enables images of bariatric and pediatric patients at a lower dosage, was installed at St. Luke's Medical Center in the Philippines – the first CT system of its kind in the country.
  • Philips is partnering with the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) and the PRAGMA group to build a series of health check centers across the Middle East. These centers will provide a comprehensive health check-up, including functional analysis of the heart and lungs and a fullbody magnetic resonance imaging scan.

Financial performance

  • Equipment order intake declined by 17% on a currencycomparable basis year-on-year, with lower intake – particularly for Imaging Systems – in both North America and the mature international markets.
  • Comparable sales decreased by 2%, as strong growth at Home Healthcare Solutions and Customer Services was more than offset by lower sales at Imaging Systems, Patient Monitoring and Clinical Care Systems. Geographically, sales growth was limited to emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and India.
  • EBITA was negatively impacted by lower volume at Imaging Systems, Clinical Care Systems and Healthcare Informatics, combined with increased pricing pressure, particularly at Imaging Systems North America. It was also impacted by adverse currency results. This was partly offset by higher earnings at Home Healthcare Solutions (primarily driven by Respiratory) and Customer Services. EBITA for the sector included acquisition-related charges of EUR 15 million.

• Net operating capital increased by EUR 706 million compared to Q1 2008, mainly due to currency effects.

  • We expect the healthcare market to remain weak, particularly in the US.
  • Restructuring and acquisition-related charges of around EUR 30 million are anticipated in Q2. Further reduction of the cost base is to be expected going forward.

Business highlights

  • Philips introduced two new products in high-growth categories in China and Brazil. A new range of air purifiers was launched in China, and a new filter-based water purifier, which does not use electricity, was introduced in Brazil.
  • Consumer Lifestyle announced a partnership with Napster UK, giving Philips GoGear users in Germany and the UK access to the Napster music catalog.
  • Breaking new ground in the realm of home entertainment, Philips launched Cinema 21:9, the world's first cinemaproportioned LCD TV, and an accompanying state-of-the-art home theater and high-definition receiver system.

Financial performance

  • Comparable sales declined by 25%, or almost EUR 850 million, due to both proactive portfolio management – notably Television in North America – and weaker demand caused by the global economic downturn.
  • The Television business saw a 33% sales decline on a comparable basis. Excluding Television, comparable sales decreased by 18%, with sharper declines at Audio & Video Multimedia and Peripherals & Accessories being somewhat mitigated by a comparatively more resilient sales performance at Shaving & Beauty, Domestic Appliances and especially Health & Wellness, which grew comparable sales by 8%.
  • EBITA included a EUR 30 million provision related to a product recall of prior-generation Senseo products, as well as EUR 13 million of restructuring charges. Adjusted for these items, profitability was close to break-even, reflecting the positive impact of proactive portfolio management and cost measures taken to date.

  • In Q2, Consumer Lifestyle expects to incur restructuring charges of around EUR 30 million in order to further optimize its cost structure given the current economic environment.

  • Philips expects to finalize the transfer of its PC monitors business to TPV Technology, entering into a brand-license agreement.
  • During Q2, Consumer Lifestyle will introduce a new range of TV sets, blu-ray players and additions to its portfolio of green products for floor care.

Business highlights

  • Philips continued to strengthen its leadership position in key segments of the lighting market with the acquisition of several companies: Dynalite in Australia, Selecon in New Zealand and Ilti Luce in Italy.
  • Philips initiated a scientific study in cooperation with the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), Germany to prove the effect of light on the learning behavior of children. Children studying in classrooms equipped with Philips Dynamic Lighting solutions achieved considerably better results than their peers. They read faster (+35%), made fewer mistakes (-45%) and were calmer (+75%).
  • Philips saw continued success in LED-based home luminaires with the first market introduction outside Europe of Living Colors, which is approaching the milestone of one million unit sales.

Financial performance

  • A further deterioration in the automotive, construction and OEM lighting markets, caused by the ongoing global economic downturn, was the main driver of a 19% decline in comparable sales at Lighting. The more retail-driven Lamps and Consumer Luminaires businesses also saw lower sales.
  • The decline in EBITA was due to the lower sales level and adverse product mix, mainly in the automotive headlighting, outdoor and shop lighting segments. Production cuts made as the sector continued to give priority to cash flow also impacted EBITA by an amount of EUR 40 million.
  • EBITA included restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 19 million, compared to EUR 30 million in Q1 2008.

  • Lighting will step up its efforts to further streamline its fixed cost base. This is expected to lead to restructuring and acquisition-related charges of approximately EUR 90 million in Q2 2009.

  • EU legislation phasing out incandescent lamps in homes and professional applications came into effect on April 13. Philips is well positioned to benefit from this through its extensive offering of energy-saving alternatives for both the consumer and business-to-business markets.
  • At the Euroluce International Lighting Fair in Milan, Philips will unveil the first commercially viable interactive OLEDbased lighting experiences for both consumer and professional applications. OLEDs – organic light-emitting diodes – promise to revolutionize the lighting market.

  • Philips has announced that it is to lead the EUR 16 million European research project SonoDrugs to develop imageguided drug-delivery technologies that could significantly impact the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Financial performance

  • Sales fell by EUR 38 million year-on-year; this was primarily attributable to Assembléon, which saw lower demand due to the depressed semiconductor market.
  • EBITA in Q1 2008 included a EUR 13 million charge on the sale of HTP Optics. Adjusted for this effect, higher losses in Q1 2009 were mainly due to Assembléon, Applied Technologies and accelerated investments in healthcare ventures.
  • The year-on-year reduction in net operating capital was mainly driven by working capital reductions.

  • In Q2, investments in Research and the Incubators are expected to be on par with the previous quarter.

  • Restructuring charges of up to EUR 20 million are anticipated for Q2, in order to align innovation activities within the group.

Business highlights

  • In its first-ever combined Annual and Sustainability Report, Philips reported that Green Products comprised 23% of total sales in 2008, compared with 20% in the previous year, with strong contributions from all three operating sectors.
  • For the second year in a row, Philips was named Gold Class Sustainability Leader in the Sustainability Yearbook 2009 of SAM Research, the leading asset manager for sustainability investments, which identifies leaders for the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

Financial performance

  • Corporate and Regional overhead costs were EUR 14 million lower than in Q1 2008, driven by a reduction in fixed costs as well as a change in spending pattern.
  • Global brand campaign investments of EUR 7 million were largely comprised of expenses related to the ongoing health and well-being campaign.
  • EBITA levels at the other businesses were positively affected by a favorable movement related to an environmental provision and lower legal fees, offset in part by higher pension cost.
  • The year-over-year decrease in net operating capital was largely attributable to the reduction of net pension assets in Q4 2008.

  • With its stringent cost reduction measures, Philips aims to further reduce corporate and regional management costs by around EUR 30 million for the full year.

  • Brand campaign investment is expected to total EUR 45 million in 2009.
  • Philips continues to sharpen its supply-base risk-management systems aimed at proactively mitigating supplier risks, while leveraging its position to obtain improved conditions from its suppliers, both in pricing as well as payment terms.

Outlook

Outlook

Ongoing deterioration in the global economy during the first quarter has resulted in weaker demand in our key markets than previously anticipated. Consumer confidence remains low, as does worldwide automotive production. The slowdown in construction evident in the USA in Q4 2008 has now spread to other regions. In Healthcare, lower volumes and additional price pressure have compressed margins.

As leading indicators do not point to a material improvement in the external environment in the short term, we expect demand in the second quarter to be broadly in line with the first three months of 2009. Consequently, we will accelerate measures to further lower our fixed cost base. These measures – combined with the initiatives taken at the end of last year – are expected to start supporting margins as of the second half of the year.

Reiterating our outlook of January this year, we will continue to closely manage our businesses relative to both the market and competition. We remain confident that the actions we are taking to maintain a strong balance sheet and lower our cost base will ensure that the Company is in a good position to benefit from the upturn in demand when economic conditions recover.
