Roy Jakobs, CEO of Royal Philips:
“We delivered better care for more people by enhancing execution and focusing on driving improvements in profitability and cash flow, as well as order and sales growth. We strengthened our fundamentals and resolved significant US litigation relating to the Respironics recall.
Despite double-digit declines in demand in both consumer and health systems in China, we returned to positive order growth and continued to drive margin expansion and cash-flow generation. With our strong balance sheet we are pleased to offer shareholders the option to receive the dividend in shares or cash.
Within a persistently challenging macro environment, our focus remains on executing our value creation plan, bringing industry-leading innovations to the market and driving a simplified, more agile operating model. We strengthened our team and culture of impact with care, with patient safety and quality as our number one priority.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in our long-term plan and will continue to work closely with customers as we build on our strong innovation pipeline and focus on execution excellence to drive profitable growth."
Quarterly Report 2024 - Q4 | 1 | |||||||
Group and segment performance
Comparable order intake increased 2% in the quarter, with strong performance in the North America and Growth geographies, partly offset by a double-digit decline in demand in China. Group comparable sales increased 1% in the quarter, with solid growth of 5% in the rest of the world, largely offset by a double-digit decline in China, where market conditions are expected to remain uncertain.
Adjusted EBITA increased 60 basis points to 13.5% in Q4, driven by operational improvements and productivity measures. Free cash flow increased to EUR 1.3 billion in the quarter, driven by Respironics insurance proceeds, partly offset by phasing in working capital.
For the full year, comparable order intake and sales increased 1%, up 4% excluding China. Adjusted EBITA increased 90 basis points to 11.5% and free cash flow was EUR 0.9 billion.
Diagnosis & Treatment comparable sales decreased 1% in Q4, due to a double-digit decline in China, offsetting solid growth elsewhere. Adjusted EBITA margin was 12.1% in Q4, driven by productivity, mix and pricing. For the full year, the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses recorded 1% comparable sales growth, on the back of 11% growth in 2023, and an Adjusted EBITA margin of 11.6%.
Connected Care comparable sales increased 7% in Q4, on the back of a low comparison base. Adjusted EBITA margin was 15.0% in Q4, in line with last year. For the full year, the Connected Care businesses recorded a 2% comparable sales increase and an Adjusted EBITA margin of 9.6%.
Personal Health comparable sales decreased 2% in Q4 due to a double-digit decline in China, more than offsetting a strong performance elsewhere. Adjusted EBITA margin was 18.0% in Q4, including lower sales in China. For the full year, Personal Health comparable sales decreased 1% and the Adjusted EBITA margin was 16.7%.
Innovation highlights
•FDA clearance of the Philips CT 5300, featuring AI-based reconstruction software to reduce radiation dose and improve image quality, and of the Philips Spectral CT 7500 RT, enabling personalized radiation therapy planning.
•Expansion of Philips' strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services to offer an integrated diagnostics portfolio in the cloud, such as AI advanced visualization solutions that unify diagnostic workflows, improve access to critical insights, and drive better outcomes across clinical specialties, including radiology, digital pathology and cardiology.
•Philips and Mayo Clinic will collaborate using their proprietary AI technologies to target breakthroughs in ease-of-use and efficiency to bring high-quality diagnostic MRI and better care to patients with heart disease. Philips also announced partnerships with Hôpital Fondation Rothschild in Paris for imaging platforms and health informatics and with Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam for ultrasound solutions and services.
•Together with its clinical partners, Philips continues to advance minimally invasive procedures to treat patients based on new technologies and methods, enrolling the first patients in the THOR clinical trial, which integrates two critical peripheral artery disease treatments into a single device. Achieving a significant milestone in the WE-TRUST clinical trial, Philips has now included one-third of the targeted 564 patients to evaluate how a new imaging method could impact workflow and improve outcomes for stroke patients.
•Philips renewed its mid-range Sonicare electric toothbrushes, Series 5000-7000, in Europe and launched new localized products in China, including the On-The-Go Compact Shaver, which earned a top ranking for new product sales from leading online retailer JD.com.
•Peer-reviewed life cycle assessment results were published in the leading sector publication Radiology, following close collaboration between the Vanderbilt University Medical Center radiology department and Philips. The analysis underscores the importance of joining forces to tackle significant operational and sustainability challenges, such as reducing the cost of care and reducing carbon footprint.
Leadership and culture
Philips is strengthening its culture of impact with care, acting with integrity with patient safety and quality as the number one priority. Philips continues to simplify its operating model, with end-to-end Businesses holding single accountability, supported by leaner central Functions and strong customer-facing organizations in the Regions and countries.
Since the start of the three-year plan, 75% of executive hires across the company have come from a health technology background. Recent appointments to the Executive Committee include leaders for Precision Diagnosis, International Region, and Greater China Region, plus a new Chief Financial Officer on the Board of Management.
Productivity
Productivity initiatives are ahead of plan and delivered savings of EUR 163 million in Q4: operating model savings of EUR 47 million, procurement savings of EUR 56 million, and other programs savings of EUR 59 million. Since 2023, productivity initiatives have delivered savings of more than EUR 1.7 billion.
Philips is raising its productivity savings target for the 2023-2025 period from EUR 2 billion to EUR 2.5 billion, driven by cost efficiencies and further simplification of its operating model, with EUR 800 million to be delivered in 2025.
Quarterly Report 2024 - Q4 | 2 | |||||||
Outlook
Philips remains focused on successfully executing its three-year plan to drive operational improvements and create value with sustainable impact, within a challenging macro environment. For 2025, Philips expects:
•1%-3% comparable sales growth, including a mid- to high-single-digit decline in China
•Adjusted EBITA margin increasing 30-80 bps to 11.8%-12.3%
•Free cash flow before payment of the USD 1.1 billion cash-out relating to the US medical monitoring and personal injury settlements will be at the lower end of the range of EUR 1.4 billion to EUR 1.6 billion. Net of this cash-out, free cash flow will be EUR 0.4 billion to EUR 0.6 billion.
We anticipate comparable sales growth to be back-end-loaded in the year, with a mid-single-digit decline in Q1 mainly due to lower demand in China and royalties phasing, with correspondingly lower Adjusted EBITA margin.
The outlook includes the impact of the recently announced US-China tariffs. It excludes ongoing Philips Respironics-related legal proceedings, including the investigation by the US Department of Justice.
Respironics Recall
In December 2024, Philips Respironics obtained final approval for the recall-related medical monitoring settlement, and in February 2025, the personal injury settlement became final following a successful registration process. The aggregate amount of the settlements is USD 1.1 billion; payment is expected in the first half of 2025.
Capital allocation
Philips intends to submit to the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders a proposal to declare a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in shares or cash at the option of the shareholder, with a maximum of 50% of the total dividend distribution to all shareholders being available for payment in cash. If more than 50% of the total dividend is requested by the shareholders to be paid out in cash, those shareholders who have chosen to receive their dividend in cash will receive their cash dividend on a pro-rata basis, the remainder being paid out in shares.
Conference call and video webcast
Roy Jakobs, CEO, and Charlotte Hanneman, CFO, will host a conference call for investors and analysts at 9:00 am CET today to discuss the full year 2024 results. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Philips Investor Relations website and can be accessed here.

Proposed dividend distribution
A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 8, 2025, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in shares or cash at the option of the shareholder, against retained earnings.
If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend at the Euronext Amsterdam as of May 12, 2025, and at the New York Stock Exchange as of May 13, 2025. In compliance with the listing requirements of Euronext Amsterdam and the New York Stock Exchange, the dividend record date will be May 13, 2025.
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between shares and cash between May 14 and June 2, 2025, for shares traded at the New York Stock Exchange, and between May 14 and June 3, 2025, for shares traded at Euronext Amsterdam. If no choice is made during this election period, the dividend will be distributed in shares.
Of the total dividend distribution to all shareholders (up to EUR 786 million), a maximum of 50% will be available for payment in cash. If shareholders in total elect to receive an aggregate amount of cash dividend that exceeds the maximum percentage of the total dividend amount, those shareholders who elected to receive their dividend in cash will receive their cash dividend on a pro-rata basis, the remainder being distributed in shares.
The number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume weighted average price of all traded common shares of Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on May 30, June 2 and June 3, 2025. The company will calculate the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share (the ratio), such that the gross dividend in shares will be approximately equal to EUR 0.85. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced on June 5, 2025. Delivery of new common shares and payment of the dividend, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 6, 2025.
Further details will be given in the agenda with explanatory notes for the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

•Income from operations increased by EUR 644 million, mainly driven by higher gross margin, and lower charges in restructuring, acquisition-related and other items, partially offset by higher impairment charges.
•Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 2,077 million and the margin improved to 11.5%, mainly driven by operational improvements and productivity measures.
•Restructuring, acquisition-related and other items amounted to EUR 1,156 million, compared with EUR 1,738 million in 2023. 2024 includes EUR 984 million for the Respironics litigation provision, EUR 326 million restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EUR 133 million Respironics field-action running costs, EUR 123 million related to quality actions, and EUR 113 million Respironics consent decree charges, partially offset by EUR 538 million Respironics insurance income related to the product liability claims.

•Income tax expense increased by EUR 1,036 million year-on-year, mainly due to de-recognition of deferred tax assets in the US and higher income before tax in 2024, as well as the recognition of historical tax credits in 2023.
•Net income decreased in comparison with 2023, mainly due to higher tax expenses, partly offset by higher gross margin and lower restructuring, acquisition-related and other items.

and other information
Forward-looking statements
This document and the related oral presentation, including responses to questions following the presentation, contain 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. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements made about our strategy, estimates of sales growth, future Adjusted EBITA*), future restructuring and acquisition-related charges and other costs, future developments in Philips’ organic business and the completion of acquisitions and divestments. Forward-looking statements can be identified generally as those containing words such as “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “should”, “will”, “will likely result”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “projects”, “may” or similar expressions. By their nature, these 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 statements.
These factors include but are not limited to: macro-economic and geopolitical changes, including protectionism measures such as announced and proposed tariffs and retaliatory trade measures in response thereto; Philips’ ability to keep pace with the changing health technology environment; Philips’ ability to gain leadership in health informatics and artificial intelligence in response to developments in the health technology industry; integration of acquisitions and their delivery on business plans and value creation expectations; ability to meet expectations with respect to ESG-related matters; securing and maintaining Philips’ intellectual property rights, and unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property rights; failure of products and services to meet quality or security standards, adversely affecting patient safety and customer operations; the resilience of our supply chain; challenges in simplifying our organization and our ways of working; attracting and retaining personnel; breach of cybersecurity; challenges in driving operational excellence and speed in bringing innovations to market; treasury and financing risks; tax risks; reliability of internal controls; compliance with regulations and standards involving quality, product safety, (cyber) security and artificial intelligence; and compliance with business conduct rules and regulations including privacy, existing and upcoming ESG disclosure and due diligence requirements. As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future results to differ from such forward-looking statements, see also the Risk management chapter included in the Annual Report 2023. Reference is also made to section Risk management in the Philips semi-annual report 2024.
Third-party market share data
Statements regarding market share contained in this document, including those regarding Philips’ competitive position, are based on outside sources such as specialized research institutes, as well as industry and dealer panels, in combination with management estimates.

Market Abuse Regulation
This press release contains inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
Use of non-IFRS information
In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measure and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further information on non-IFRS measures can be found in the Annual Report 2023.
Presentation
All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up precisely to totals provided. All reported data is unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with the accounting policies as stated in the Annual Report 2023. Prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation; this includes immaterial organizational changes.
Effective Q1 2024, Philips has revised the order intake policy to reflect the full contract value for software contracts that start generating revenue within an 18-month horizon, instead of only the next 18-months-to-revenue horizon. This change has been implemented to better align with the specific business model of our software businesses, simplify the order intake process, and better align with peers. Prior-period comparable order intake percentages have been restated accordingly. This revision has not resulted in any material changes to the order intake percentages for the periods presented.
Per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares in the second quarter of 2024 in connection with the 2023 share dividend.
