Frans van Houten, CEO
“As the global societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak intensified in the second quarter of 2020, we continued to
focus on our triple duty of care: meeting critical customer needs, safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, and ensuring
business continuity. In close collaboration with our suppliers and partners, we have steeply ramped up the production volumes of
acute care products and solutions to help diagnose, treat, monitor and manage COVID-19 patients. Our field service engineers have
been supporting healthcare providers around the world throughout these testing times. Under the circumstances, I am pleased at the
way we have performed and I am grateful and proud of how all our employees have stepped up.
In the quarter, Philips' sales declined 6% on a comparable basis and we delivered an Adjusted EBITA margin of 9.5%. Comparable
order intake grew a further 27% on the back of double-digit growth in the previous quarter, driven by CT imaging systems, hospital
ventilators and patient monitors. As anticipated, COVID-19 caused a steep decrease in consumer demand and postponement of
installations in hospitals, as well as elective procedures, resulting in a 19% comparable sales decrease for our Personal Health
businesses and a 9% decline for our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses. This was partly offset by a strong 14% comparable sales
growth for our Connected Care businesses.
We expect to return to growth and improved profitability for the Group in the second half of the year, assuming we can convert our
existing order book for the Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care businesses, elective procedures normalize, and consumer
demand gradually improves. Consequently, for the full year 2020 we continue to aim for a modest comparable sales growth and
Adjusted EBITA margin improvement.
Looking ahead, our mission is more relevant than ever. Our strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum,
leveraging informatics and remote care capabilities, along with our innovative systems and services, has been validated during this
crisis. I am convinced that Philips is well positioned to serve the current and future needs of hospitals and health systems.”

Business segment performance
The Diagnosis & Treatment businesses recorded a 9% comparable sales decline due to the postponement of installations and
elective procedures. Although Diagnostic Imaging sales were in line with Q2 2019, Ultrasound showed a mid-single-digit decrease,
and Image-Guided Therapy a double-digit decline. Comparable order intake showed a double-digit decrease. The Adjusted EBITA
margin decreased to 8.6%, mainly due to the sales decline.
Comparable sales in the Connected Care businesses increased 14%, with double-digit growth in Sleep & Respiratory Care and midsingle-digit growth in Monitoring & Analytics. Comparable order intake more than doubled, driven by strong demand for patient
monitors and hospital ventilators. The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 17.8%, as additional investments to ramp up production
were more than offset by operating leverage.
The Personal Health businesses recorded a comparable sales decline of 19%, with all businesses declining due to significantly
decreased consumer demand. The Adjusted EBITA margin declined to 5.6%, due to the sales decline, partly offset by cost savings.
Philips’ ongoing focus on innovation and partnerships resulted in the following key developments in the quarter:
• Highlighting its strength in strategic partnerships to enhance patient care and improve care provider productivity, Philips signed 14
new agreements in the quarter. For example, Philips and the US Department of Veterans Affairs entered a 10-year agreement to expand their tele-critical care program, creating the world’s largest system to provide veterans with remote access to intensive care expertise, regardless of their location. In the Netherlands, Philips and Flevo Hospital signed a 10-year strategic partnership
agreement to support precision diagnosis and optimize workflows and patient pathways, while driving efficiencies and cost optimization.
• In collaboration with its partners and suppliers, Philips tripled the production of its hospital ventilators in the quarter and is on
track to achieve the planned four-fold increase to 4,000 units per week in July 2020, supporting the treatment of COVID-19
patients in the most affected regions around the world.
• Philips launched several new monitoring solutions for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the general ward and the home that feature
remote monitoring capabilities and advanced analytics. These include Philips’ IntelliVue Patient Monitors MX750/MX850 for the ICU, Philips’ Biosensor BX100 for early patient deterioration detection in the general ward, and in collaboration with BioIntelliSense, the BioSticker medical device to help monitor at-risk patients from the hospital to the home.
• University of Kentucky HealthCare teamed up with Philips to implement the company’s tele-ICU technology to enhance patient
care and improve utilization and patient flows across 160 ICU beds at the academic medical center’s two hospitals. Leveraging Philips’ acute telehealth platform, eCareManager, UK HealthCare is implementing the state’s first centralized virtual care model to help nurses detect risk of patient deterioration, so they can intervene earlier and help improve care outcomes.
• Philips received an industry-first 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market a wide range of its ultrasound solutions – including
CX50 and Lumify – for the management of COVID-19-related lung and cardiac complications. Portable ultrasound solutions in
particular have become valuable tools for clinicians treating COVID-19 patients, due to their imaging capabilities, portability and
ease of disinfection.
• Supporting the increased demand for flexible ICU capacity, Philips introduced its new mobile ICUs in India. The ICUs can be
furnished with a range of medical equipment, including ventilators, defibrillators, and patient monitoring. In the Philippines,
Philips introduced a modular diagnostic imaging cabin with a CT or diagnostic X-ray system for rapid deployment.
• Complementing Philips Sonicare’s existing teledentistry services for patients, Philips and dental technology company Toothpic
announced a new teledentistry platform for dental professionals. The multi-service platform provides a tool to build direct patient
engagement, acquisition and retention while improving office efficiency, in-chair time and remote care.

Cost savings
In the second quarter, procurement savings amounted to EUR 57 million. Overhead and other productivity programs delivered
savings of EUR 51 million. As a result, Philips is on track to deliver over EUR 400 million productivity savings for 2020 and EUR 1.8
billion productivity savings for the Group for the 2017-2020 period.

Executive Committee update
On July 16, Philips announced the appointment of Deeptha Khanna as the Chief Business Leader of the Personal Health businesses,
effective July 20, 2020, and the appointment of Edwin Paalvast as Chief of International Markets, effective August 1, 2020. Ms.
Khanna and Mr. Paalvast will become members of Philips’ Executive Committee, reporting to Philips CEO Frans van Houten.
Ms. Khanna joins Philips from Johnson & Johnson to lead its Personal Health businesses, which were temporarily led by Frans van Houten. Mr. Paalvast joins Philips from Cisco Systems, and will succeed current Chief of International Markets Henk de Jong, who has been appointed as CEO of Philips’ EUR 2.3 billion Domestic Appliances business, effective August 1, 2020. As announced in January
2020, the Domestic Appliances business is being separated from Philips, a process that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021. Mr. de Jong will continue to report to Frans van Houten and remain a member of the Executive Committee.

Capital allocation
Share buyback program
At the end of the first quarter of 2020, Philips had completed 50.3% of its EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction
purposes that was announced on January 29, 2019. In line with the company’s announcement on March 23, 2020, Philips has executed the second half of the program through individual forward transactions with settlement dates extending into the second half of 2021. Further details can be found here.
Share cancellation

In June 2020, Philips completed the cancellation of 3,809,675 shares that were acquired as part of the share buyback program
mentioned above.

Dividend
In July 2020, Philips issued a total number of 18,080,198 new common shares for settlement of the 2019 dividend. After deduction of treasury shares, this results in a total number of outstanding shares of 909,395,209, compared to 909,194,188 shares in 2019 following the settlement of the 2018 dividend.

Regulatory update
Philips’ Emergency Care and Resuscitation (ECR) business resumed manufacturing and shipping of external defibrillators for the US,
following notification from the FDA that the injunction prohibiting those activities has been lifted. Philips continues to comply with
the terms of the Consent Decree, which remains in effect, and includes ongoing regulatory compliance monitoring and facility
inspections of the ECR business and of Philips’ other patient care businesses by the FDA. In connection with the ECR portfolio,
Philips received FDA pre-market approval (PMA) for the HeartStart FR31) and HeartStart FRx2) automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and their supporting accessories, including batteries and pads.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, Philips is working with the FDA’s Emergency Response and Product Evaluation teams to provide them with relevant information, such as Philips’ production ramp-up and availability of acute care products and solutions to combat COVID-19. Philips has obtained authorizations through the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) process for the
expanded use of several of its devices during the COVID-19 public health emergency, including for the Philips IntelliVue Patient
Monitors MX750/MX850 and its IntelliVue Active Displays AD75/AD85. Moreover, Philips has received FDA 510(k) clearances to market its Biosensor BX100 for early patient deterioration detection in the general ward, and to market a wide range of its ultrasound solutions for the management of COVID-19-related lung and cardiac complications.
