Press Release

July 28, 2023

Signify reports second quarter sales of EUR 1.6 billion, operational profitability of 8.3% and a free cash flow of EUR 88 million

Second quarter 20231

  • Signify's installed base of connected light points increased from 117 million in Q1 23 to 119 million in Q2 23
  • On track for all Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 sustainability program commitments
  • Sales of EUR 1,644 million; nominal sales decline of -10.5% and CSG of -8.6%
  • LED-based sales represented 84% of total sales (Q2 22: 84%)
  • Adj. EBITA margin of 8.3% (Q2 22: 9.5%)
  • Net income of EUR 45 million (Q2 22: EUR 248 million)
  • Free cash flow of EUR 88 million (Q2 22: EUR 135 million)

Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the company's second quarter 2023 results.

"In the second quarter, we saw continued softness in the consumer, indoor professional and OEM channels and a slower than anticipated recovery of the Chinese market. Against this backdrop, our actions to improve gross margin are paying off, although fixed costs reduction plans are not yet fully compensating for the volume decline. While our Digital Solutions and Conventional Products divisions demonstrated resilience in their bottom line, our Digital Products division was more exposed to these challenges," said Eric Rondolat, CEO of Signify.

"The continued economic softness has led us to apply caution in our outlook for the full year and adjust our Adjusted EBITA margin guidance to 9.5-10.5%. On the other hand, our free cash flow generation has and will continue to benefit from supply chain lead time improvements and effective working capital measures. We therefore expect our free cash flow generation to be at the higher end of the 6-8% range. To optimize our global operations, we have begun implementing structural measures to adapt our cost structure to the market environment. These measures will enable enhanced performance and a stronger focus on growth opportunities."

Brighter Lives, Better World 2025

In the second quarter of the year, Signify remained on track to deliver on its Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 sustainability program commitments:

Double the pace of the Paris Agreement

Signify is on track to reduce emissions across the entire value chain by 40% against the 2019 baseline - double the pace required by the Paris Agreement. This is driven by Signify's leadership in energy efficient and connected LED lighting solutions, which significantly reduce emissions during the use phase.

Double Circular revenues

Circular revenues remained stable at 29%, on track to reach the 2025 target of 32%. The main contribution is from serviceable and upgradeable luminaires, including the first serviceable Horticulture product family.

Double Brighter lives revenues

Brighter lives revenues increased to 28%, on track to reach the 2025 target of 32%. This was driven by the performance of Cooper's tunable products supporting the consumer well-being portfolio and continued strength of the safety & security portfolio.

Double the percentage of women in leadership

The percentage of women in leadership positions continued to improve to 30%, on track to reach the 2025 target of 34%. This was mainly due to the acceleration of hiring practices for diversity across all levels.

Outlook

The continued economic softness has led us to apply caution in our outlook for the full year and adjust our Adjusted EBITA margin guidance to 9.5-10.5%. On the other hand, our free cash flow generation has and will continue to benefit from supply chain lead time improvements and effective working capital measures. We therefore expect our free cash flow generation to be at the higher end of the 6-8% range.

Second quarter

Nominal sales decreased by 10.5% to EUR 1,644 million, including a negative currency effect of 2.8%, mainly from CNY depreciation, and a positive effect of 0.9% from the consolidation of Fluence, Pierlite and Intelligent Lighting Controls (ILC). Comparable sales declined by 8.6%, as the indoor professional business, the consumer segment and the OEM channel continued to be weak.

The Adjusted gross margin increased by 220 bps to 38.9% driven by effective COGS management and price discipline. Adjusted indirect costs as a percentage of sales increased by 250 bps to 31.8%, as indirect costs did not keep pace with lower sales.

Adjusted EBITA was EUR 136 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 120 bps to 8.3%, mainly due to under-absorption of fixed costs. Digital Products was mainly impacted, while Digital Solutions and Conventional Products both achieved Adjusted EBITA margin gains.

Restructuring costs were EUR 9 million, acquisition-related charges were EUR 3 million and incidental items had a negative impact of EUR 16 million.

Net income decreased to EUR 45 million, mainly due to lower income from operations and higher financial expenses, partly offset by lower income tax expense due to lower taxable income. In Q2 2022, income from operations included a EUR 184 million gain from the disposal of non-strategic real estate, while financial income included a benefit from a non-cash fair value adjustment of the Virtual Power Purchase Agreements.

The number of employees (FTE) decreased from 35,407 at the end of Q2 22 to 33,181 at the end of Q2 23. The year-on-year decrease is mostly related to a reduction of factory personnel due to lower production volumes. In general, the number of FTEs is affected by fluctuations in volume and seasonality.

Nominal sales decreased by 6.5% to EUR 974 million, including a negative currency effect of 2.4% and a positive effect of 1.7% from the consolidation of Fluence, Pierlite and Intelligent Lighting Controls. Comparable sales declined by 5.7%, as continued strength in outdoor professional lighting was more than offset by softness in indoor professional and horticulture lighting. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased by 50 bps to 10.0%, mainly driven by gross margin expansion from lower COGS and continued price discipline.

Second quarter

Nominal sales decreased by 15.4% to EUR 505 million, including a negative currency effect of 3.4%. Comparable sales declined by 12.1%, due to continued weakness in the consumer connected and OEM businesses, as well as Klite. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 370 bps to 6.9%, mainly reflecting the under-absorption of fixed costs as a result of lower sales volumes.

Second quarter

Nominal sales decreased by 17.3% to EUR 160 million, including a negative currency effect of 2.3%. Comparable sales declined by 15.0%, as lower volumes were partially compensated by price increases. The Adjusted EBITA

margin increased by 500 bps to 20.5%, reflecting a positive effect from price increases in combination with lower COGS, while Adjusted EBITA in the previous year also included one-off obsolescence charges.

Other

In Europe, comparable sales decreased by 10.6%, as most markets declined. In the Americas, comparable sales decreased by 9.5%, mainly reflecting lower sales in the US and Canada. In the Rest of the World, comparable sales decreased by 2.6%, mainly due to China, the Middle East and Indonesia. Global businesses' comparable sales decreased by 14.2%, mainly due to Klite.

As a percentage of last twelve-month sales, working capital increased by 60 bps to 8.9%. Including last twelve-month sales pro forma for Fluence and Pierlite, working capital also increased by 60 bps.

Compared to June 2022, working capital reduced by EUR 143 million, mainly driven by a strong reduction of inventories and lower receivables, partly offset by lower payables.

The gain related to the disposal of non-strategic real estate assets in Q2 2022, included in EBIT, is eliminated in Other. Total cash proceeds from the disposal of these assets are included in Net capex.

Second quarter

Free cash flow was EUR 88 million, as a lower income from operations was partly offset by a lower cash outflow from working capital, which benefited from an improving supply chain and strict inventory discipline. Free cash flow also included a restructuring payout of EUR 12 million (Q2 22: EUR 14 million).

Net debt and total equity

in millions of EUR Jun 30, 2022 Mar 31, 2023 Jun 30, 2023

Total equity 2,927 3,053 2,853

Second quarter

Compared with the end of March 2023, the cash position decreased by EUR 110 million to EUR 584 million, mainly due to the dividend payment, partly offset by positive free cash flow. Gross debt remained relatively stable at EUR 2,022 million. As a result of the lower cash position, net debt increased by EUR 108 million to EUR 1,439 million. Total equity decreased to EUR 2,853 million (Q1 23: EUR 3,053 million), primarily due to the dividend distribution.

Compared with the end of June 2022, the cash position increased by EUR 177 million, while gross debt declined by EUR 135 million. As a result, net debt decreased by EUR 310 million year on year. At the end of June 2023, the net debt/EBITDA ratio was 1.9x (Q2 22: 1.7x).

Management report

Business performance1

Market environment

In the first half of 2023, the lighting market was impacted by various dynamics in different geographies and end markets.

The consumer lighting market, in particular connected lighting, softened on the back of two years of solid growth as consumers were impacted by the inflationary environment. Higher interest rates and a tighter credit environment weighed on the indoor professional lighting market. The OEM market was mainly impacted by a destocking effect, as a result of higher channel inventory levels following the supply chain issues.

At the same time, outdoor professional lighting continued to benefit from governmental stimulus programs focused on sustainability.

Financial performance

Nominal sales decreased by 8.3% to EUR 3,322 million, including a negative currency effect of 1.0% and a positive effect of 1.5% from the consolidation of Fluence, Pierlite and Intelligent Lighting Controls. Comparable sales decreased by 8.9%, mainly due to weakness in the indoor professional lighting business, the consumer segment and destocking in the OEM channel.

The gross margin increased by 70 basis points to 37.3%. The adjusted gross margin increased by 160 basis points to 39.1%, mainly driven by price discipline and effective COGS management.

Indirect costs as a percentage of sales increased by 230 basis points to 32.5%. Adjusted indirect costs as a percentage of sales increased by 240 basis points to 31.8%, mainly due to an underabsorption of fixed costs.

EBITA decreased to EUR 190 million. In 2022, EBITA benefited from a gain from the disposal of non-strategic real estate. Restructuring costs were EUR 57 million in the first half of 2023, mainly related to Conventional Products. Acquisitionrelated charges were EUR 6 million, and incidental items had a negative impact of EUR 32 million. Correcting for these adjusted items, the Adjusted EBITA was EUR 285 million, or 8.6% of sales. Versus last year, the Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 140 basis points, as the gross margin improvement was more than offset by an under-absorption of fixed costs.

Income from operations decreased to EUR 149 million. The previous year's income from

operations benefited from a gain from the disposal of non-strategic real estate. As a result, net income decreased to EUR 73 million in H1 2023.

Net cash from operating activities increased by 381 million to EUR 190 million. The increase was mainly driven by a lower cash outflow from payables and a reduction of inventories. Last year's cash outflow from payables was impacted by the settlement of payments related to the inventory buildup.

Digital Solutions

Nominal sales decreased by 4.8% to EUR 1,924 million, including a negative currency effect of 0.4% and a positive effect of 2.8% from the consolidation of Fluence, Pierlite and Intelligent Lighting Controls. Comparable sales decreased by 7.2%, mainly due to weakness in indoor professional and horticulture lighting, partly offset by outdoor professional lighting.

Income from operations increased to EUR 123 million. EBITA of EUR 161 million included EUR 8 million of restructuring costs, EUR 6 million of acquisition-related charges, and EUR 3 million of other incidental costs. Adjusted EBITA was EUR 179 million, or 9.3% of sales. Versus last year, the Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 30 basis points, as gross margin improvements partly offset the under-absorption of fixed costs.

Digital Products

Nominal sales decreased by 13.0% to EUR 1,043 million, including a negative currency effect of 1.9%. Comparable sales declined by 11.1%, as the consumer connected and OEM businesses continued to be weak.

Income from operations decreased to EUR 69 million. EBITA of EUR 72 million included EUR 6 million of restructuring costs and EUR 1 million of other incidental costs. Correcting for these adjusted items, Adjusted EBITA was EUR 79 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin decreased by 410 basis points to 7.6%, mainly due to an underabsorption of fixed costs due to lower volumes.

Conventional Products

Nominal sales decreased by 12.4% to EUR 346 million, including a negative currency effect of 0.7%. Comparable sales decreased by 11.6%, as lower volumes were partially compensated by price increases.

Income from operations and EBITA were both EUR 22 million. EBITA included restructuring costs of EUR 37 million and other incidental costs of EUR 16 million. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITA was 75 million. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased by

590 basis points to 21.6%, mainly due to the positive effect from price increases and lower COGS.

Other

'Other' represents amounts not allocated to operating segments and includes costs related both to central R&D activities to drive innovation, and to Group enabling functions. Reported EBITA was EUR -65 million. Last year's reported EBITA of EUR 147 million benefited from a gain from the disposal of non-strategic real estate. Adjusted EBITA was EUR -48 million, compared with EUR -34 million in the same period last year.

Outlook

The continued economic softness has led us to apply caution in our outlook for the full year and adjust our Adjusted EBITA margin guidance to 9.5-10.5%. On the other hand, our free cash flow generation has and will continue to benefit from supply chain lead time improvements and effective working capital measures. We therefore expect our free cash flow generation to be at the higher end of the 6-8% range.

All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up to totals provided.

2.1 Reporting entity

Signify N.V. is a public company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and listed on Euronext Amsterdam under the symbol 'LIGHT'.

As used herein, the term Signify is used for Signify N.V. (the 'Company') and its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 2:24b of the Dutch Civil Code.

The corporate seat of the Company is in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and its registered office is at High Tech Campus 48, 5656 AE Eindhoven. The Company is registered in the Commercial Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 65220692.

2.2 Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Several amendments apply to the accounting standards for the first time in 2023, but do not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Signify.

The income tax expense is recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year.

The accounting policies applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Macroeconomic and geopolitical environment

Signify continuously monitors the development in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Key challenges include: increase of interest rates, increased inflation, business climate uncertainties, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the expected recovery trajectory of China post COVID. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, there was no significant change compared to our assessment as disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Climate-related matters

Signify continuously monitors risks and opportunities related to climate change. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, there was no significant change compared to our assessment as disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Assumptions for post-employment benefits

For the provision for post-employment benefits, Signify reviewed the changes in market conditions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The impact was not material and therefore no remeasurement was recognized.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Except as disclosed in previous paragraphs, the areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made, were the same as those disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

8 Provisions

Additions of restructuring provisions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, included a restructuring program in Conventional Products in Belgium. Signify expects the provision will be utilized mainly within the next year.

Releases from legal provision were mainly related to the legal case as described below. On October 5, 2022, a jury in trial court in Connecticut awarded compensation of USD 100 million in a lawsuit against Signify and other defendants, allocating USD 90 million of the award against Signify. The accident that was the subject of the trial occurred in a warehouse leased and operated by a Signify customer, where Signify products were pushed off a rack by a worker operating a forklift at the warehouse onto one of the customer's employees.

Signify received a decision from the trial judge on April 26, 2023, reducing the jury's award from USD 100 million to approximately USD 46.5 million and Signify's allocated share to approximately USD 42 million. Signify has a comprehensive global liability insurance and has confirmation that the case is fully covered without reservation of rights, including interest and other costs. Both the legal provision and the insurance cover asset have been adjusted in the balance sheet of the company as per June 30, 2023, without any net P&L impact. Signify will continue to exercise all its rights to appeal the verdict issued in this case.

For more information, refer to note 24, Provisions in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

9 Financial assets and liabilities

Financial risk management

The company assessed global macroeconomic developments and concluded that no material changes to the existing financial risk management objectives were necessary. These objectives are consistent with those disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company updated its anticipated foreign exchange risk management policy to allow more flexibility in responding to the global macroeconomic developments. The main policy changes relate to the reduction of the time horizon of the hedge period, fewer hedged currencies taking into consideration a higher threshold and the reduction of the hedge ratios.

Fair value hierarchy

The valuation techniques and inputs used to develop measurements for financial assets and liabilities are consistent with those disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, Signify recognized a loss of EUR 21 million in Financial income and expenses related to Signify's participation in Virtual Power Purchase Agreements, which are included in Derivative financial assets not designated as hedging instruments. This non-cash loss results from a fair value remeasurement as calculated per balance sheet date.
