# 1Introduction

This document contains information required for the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the 2020 Form 20-F). Reference is made to the Form 20-F cross reference table herein. Only (i) the information in this document that is referenced in the Form 20-F cross reference table, (ii) this introduction and the cautionary statement “forward-looking statements” on the next two pages and (iii) the Exhibits shall be deemed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for any purpose. Any additional information in this document which is not referenced in the Form 20-F cross reference table, or the Exhibits themselves, shall not be deemed to be so incorporated by reference, shall not be part of the 2020 Form 20-F and is furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission for information only.

### References to Philips

References to the Company or company, to Philips or the (Philips) Group or group, relate to Koninklijke Philips N.V. and its subsidiaries, as the context requires. Royal Philips refers to Koninklijke Philips N.V.

### IFRS based information

The audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, included in the 2020 Form 20-F have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU). All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective 2020 have been endorsed by the EU; consequently, the accounting policies applied by Philips also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting policies have been applied by group entities.

### Use of non-IFRS information

In presenting and discussing the Philips financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain financial measures that are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS (‘non-IFRS’). These non-IFRS 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 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. Reference is made in Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.

### 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, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates. Where full year information regarding 2020 is not yet available to Philips, market share statements may also be based on estimates and projections prepared by management and/or based on outside sources of information. Management's estimates of rankings are based on order intake or sales, depending on the business.

### Documents on display

Philips’ SEC filings are publicly available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The SEC website contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Philips’ internet address is www.philips.com/investor. The contents of any websites referred to herein shall not be considered a part of or incorporated by reference into this document.

# 2Forward-looking statements

Pursuant to provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Philips is providing the following cautionary statement.

This document, including the information referred to in the Form 20-F cross reference table, 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, among other statements, certain statements in Item 4 “Information on the Company” with regard to management objectives, market trends, market standing, product volumes, business risks, the statements in Item 5 “Operating and financial review and prospects” with regards to trends in results of operations, margins overall market trends, risk management, exchange rates, the statements in Item 8 “Financial Information” relating to legal proceedings and goodwill and statements in Item 11 “Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risks” relating to risk caused by derivative positions, interest rate fluctuations and other financial exposure are forward-looking in nature. 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: changes in industry or market circumstances; economic, political and societal changes; Philips’ increasing focus on health technology and solutions; the successful completion of divestments such as the disentanglement and divestment of our Domestic Appliances businesses; the realization of Philips’ objectives in growth geographies; business plans and integration of acquisitions; securing and maintaining Philips’ intellectual property rights and unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property rights; COVID-19 and other pandemics; breach of cybersecurity; IT system changes or failures; the effectiveness of our supply chain; challenges to drive operational excellence, productivity and speed in bringing innovations to market; attracting and retaining personnel; future trade arrangements following Brexit; compliance with regulations and standards including quality, product safety and data privacy; compliance with business conduct rules and regulations; treasury risks and other financial risks; tax risks; costs of defined-benefit pension plans and other post- retirement plans; reliability of internal controls, financial reporting and management process.

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, reference is made to the information in Risk factors.

# 4Message from the CEO

"Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, Philips demonstrated strength and agility, working intensely together with healthcare providers to cope with the challenges for both acute and regular healthcare. At the same time we continued to support people with their personal health. More than ever, we have the potential to accelerate the transformation of healthcare with our innovative solutions."
Frans van Houten
CEO Royal Philips

### Dear Stakeholder,

In 2020, Philips again demonstrated its relevance in bringing meaningful innovation to improve people’s health and well-being, as we responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a company, we continue to focus on delivering against our triple duty of care – meeting critical customer needs, safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, and ensuring business continuity.

Our employees displayed flexibility and resourcefulness as we more than quadrupled output of acute care equipment and solutions to help frontline healthcare workers diagnose, treat, monitor and manage COVID-19 patients. We significantly increased production of critical care ventilators, provided ICU monitoring & analytics solutions, and rolled out telehealth solutions to relieve the pressure on scarce resources. And our field service engineers worked round the clock to support healthcare providers in their hour of need.

In parallel, we continued to support health systems with the delivery of regular care, entering into multiple long-term strategic partnerships – all featuring result-oriented business models – to transform healthcare by enhancing patient care and improving productivity. We also found new ways to serve consumers seeking to live a healthy life, prevent disease and proactively manage their own health. In total, our products and solutions improved the lives of 1.75 billion people in 2020, including 207 million people in underserved communities.

Overall, our company performance proved resilient. While some of our businesses were affected by lower demand, others were able to significantly increase deliveries. I would like to express my admiration and gratitude for the way in which the extended Philips family – our employees, our suppliers and partners, the Philips Foundation – pulled together with our customers to address the impact of the pandemic.

#### Affirmation of our strategy

The developments of the past year validate our strategy to innovate the provision of care along the health continuum – putting the patient at the center, improving diagnosis and treatment pathways, enabling the integration of care across care settings, and increasing care provider productivity. At the same time, we help consumers to live healthier lifestyles and to cope with chronic disease. Increasingly, we are able to connect home and hospital care through telehealth platforms. This approach is resonating more strongly than ever.

Customers appreciate the comprehensive and strategic view we take of the future of health and healthcare. They want innovative solutions – smart combinations of systems, devices, informatics, data and services – that can help them deliver on the Quadruple Aim of better health outcomes, improved patient experience, improved staff experience, and lower cost of care. Given the learnings from COVID-19, they are especially keen to discover how we can support care outside the hospital.

In recent years, we have invested significantly in data science, informatics and cloud technology to enable the delivery of integrated solutions across the health continuum, and across care settings. These investments are now paying off, with a rapid increase in adoption of, for example, e-ICU and telehealth solutions that facilitate collaboration between health professionals and patient engagement.

Designed to address customer needs, our health technology innovations – supporting personal health, precision diagnosis, image-guided therapies and connected care, and leveraging the power of data and informatics – continue to generate a growing proportion of solutions-based sales and recurring revenues, which now stand at around 37% of total sales.

#### Innovating to address global health challenges

In healthcare the world over, we are seeing an increased focus on productivity and outcome-based models, as well as care outside the hospital. COVID-19 has accelerated the digitalization of care and the adoption of telehealth. This shift is being reinforced by global trends such as aging populations, the rise of chronic diseases, and resource constraints.

Innovative health technology can help health systems address these challenges, as well as extend access to care to those in need. The HealthTech market is a very attractive and sizable one, with considerable growth and margin potential, and Philips already holds strong leadership positions in over 65% of our portfolio.

Inspired by our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being, we invest almost 10% of revenue in Research & Development to innovate solutions that make a difference to our customers and society at large. Helping people to stay healthy and prevent disease, for instance through our expanding teledentistry services. Giving clinicians AI-assisted tools like our new Radiology Workflow Suite that help them make precision diagnoses and select the best care pathway. Helping surgeons deliver personalized, minimally invasive treatment with solutions like our constantly evolving Azurion image-guided therapy platform. And outside the hospital – orchestrating and delivering care in lower-cost care settings, helping people to recover, or live with chronic disease, at home.

All of these require a seamless flow of data, which is enabled by our highly secure connected care solutions, such as our IntelliVue MX750/MX850 patient monitors for the ICU. To unlock the full benefits of data-enabled care, we continue to expand our capabilities in informatics and data science, with around half of our R&D professionals working in these areas.

#### Doing business responsibly and sustainably

In 2020, we underscored our determination to lead by example by renewing our purpose – to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation, with the aim of improving 2 billion lives per year by 2025, including 300 million in underserved communities, rising to 2.5 billion and 400 million respectively by 2030.

This is part of an enhanced, fully integrated approach to doing business responsibly and sustainably. Building on our strong heritage in environmental and social responsibility, this new framework comprises a comprehensive set of key commitments across the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions that guide our endeavors. I am convinced this is the best way for Philips to create superior, long-term value for our many stakeholders.

I am pleased that we have delivered on all the targets set out in our Healthy people, Sustainable planet 2016-2020 program. As a purpose-driven company, we are conscious of our responsibility towards society and of the need to continue to embed sustainability ever deeper in the way we do business. Having become carbon-neutral in our own operations in 2020, we are now extending our ambitions and working with our partners to ensure that emissions across our entire value chain are in line to limit global warming to the 1.5 °C scenario.

We received further recognition for our efforts in this area in 2020 – achieving a CDP ‘A List’ rating for the eighth consecutive year for our action on climate change, and securing the second-highest place in both the global Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) list and The Wall Street Journal’s new ranking, 100 Most Sustainably Managed Companies in the World.

#### Our performance in 2020

COVID-19 impacted every part of our business in 2020. Nevertheless, despite the challenging circumstances, we were able to execute our plans and return to growth in the second half of the year. For the full year we delivered 3% comparable sales growth*) and a strong free cash flow*) of EUR 1.9 billion. Comparable order intake**) increased 9% and we made market share gains in a number of our health systems businesses.

Our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses were impacted by the ongoing postponement of capital equipment installations and routine care, including elective procedures, yet continued to deliver a steady flow of innovations designed to help clinicians deliver a precision diagnosis leading to targeted therapies.

Our Connected Care businesses posted exceptional growth, fueled by COVID-19-related demand for our hospital ventilation and monitoring & analytics solutions.

Our Personal Health businesses had to contend with a steep decrease in consumer demand brought about by the onset of COVID-19, yet rebounded strongly by accelerating online growth, increasing digital engagement, entering into partnerships with leading retailers, and scaling direct-to-consumer business models.

We initiated the process to create a separate legal structure for our Domestic Appliances business within the Philips Group, and we expect to complete this process by Q3 2021.

We made several acquisitions in 2020. For instance, we expanded our image-guided therapy devices portfolio, acquiring Intact Vascular to add an industry-first implantable device to treat peripheral artery disease. We also agreed to acquire BioTelemetry (completed on February 9, 2021) and Capsule Technologies to strengthen our Connected Care segment. These acquisitions will further broaden and scale our patient care management solutions for the hospital and the home, enhance patient outcomes, streamline clinical workflows and increase productivity.

Looking ahead, we continue to see uncertainty related to the impact of COVID-19 across the world. For 2021, Philips plans to deliver low-single-digit comparable sales growth*), driven by solid growth in Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health, partly offset by lower Connected Care sales, and an Adjusted EBITA margin*) improvement of 60-80 basis points.

Reflecting our confidence in the future course of the company and the importance we attach to dividend stability, we propose to maintain the dividend at EUR 0.85 per share.

#### Transforming to create greater value

As we continue our transformation into a customer-first solutions company, we are guided by our strategic roadmap, with its three key imperatives:

- Further improving the customer experience and operational excellence
- Boosting growth in the core by innovating to extend category leadership, geographic expansion, and deeper customer partnerships
- Winning with solutions to support consumers with their personal health, and to help professional healthcare customers achieve the Quadruple Aim.

We aim to drive customer preference by getting even closer to our customers and consumers, making Philips easier to do business with, and further improving our quality, operational excellence and productivity. To do this, we are driving the digital transformation in every area of our business, leveraging our integrated IT landscape – from the way we connect and engage with our customers and consumers to seamlessly connecting our solutions, e.g. to enable remote servicing and upgrades.

In our core business we aim to drive growth through innovation by capturing geographic growth opportunities and by continuing the pivot to consultative customer partnerships and business models, which offer a deeper relationship, with recurring revenue streams.

We will also continue the shift towards integrated solutions with demonstrable clinical evidence and health economic benefits that help our customers achieve the Quadruple Aim. In doing so, we will leverage data science and AI at scale. Where appropriate, we will continue to make acquisitions and enter into partnerships to support our organic growth.

By working in accordance with the Philips Business System and executing on these imperatives with urgency and discipline, we will be able to create more value for our stakeholders – driving customer preference, sustained growth, margin expansion, increased cash flow and improved return on invested capital, while delivering on our ESG commitments.

#### In conclusion

Once again, I would like to thank our customers, suppliers and partners for working together with Philips in the fight against coronavirus. I also want to express my gratitude to our employees for their commitment, resourcefulness and hard work in difficult circumstances. And I wish to thank our shareholders for the confidence they continue to show in Philips.

Our strategic focus and commitment to improvement remain undiminished. Energized by our purpose and buoyed by the resilience and agility I have seen over the past year, I am confident in Philips’ ability to maintain our transformation momentum, truly impact global health challenges through innovation, and deliver sustained value for our many, diverse stakeholders.

# 6Strategy and Businesses

## 6.1Driven by purpose

At Philips, our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Never has this central tenet been more important than it is now, in these challenging times.

As a leading health technology company, we believe that innovation can improve people's health and healthcare outcomes, as well as making care more accessible and affordable. In concrete terms, we aim to improve the lives of 2 billion people a year by 2025, including 300 million in underserved communities, rising to 2.5 billion and 400 million respectively by 2030.

Guided by this purpose, it is our strategy to lead with innovative solutions that combine systems, smart devices, informatics and services, and leverage big data – helping our customers deliver on the Quadruple Aim (better health outcomes, improved patient experience, improved staff experience, lower cost of care) and helping people to take better care of their health at every stage of life.

We strive to deliver superior, long-term value to our customers and shareholders, while acting responsibly towards our planet and society, in partnership with our stakeholders.

We aim to grow Philips responsibly and sustainably. To this end, we have deployed a comprehensive set of commitments across all the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions that guide the execution of our strategy and support our contribution to UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages), 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) and 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts).

#### Our view on healthcare

Health technology is a large market, which is expected to grow by around 4% each year*). Besides the natural drivers of growth – aging populations, the rise of chronic diseases, increased spending on healthcare in emerging markets – we believe that health technology will be a major growth driver in the years to come.

At Philips, we see healthcare as a continuum, since it puts people’s health journeys front and center and builds upon the idea of integrated care pathways. Believing that healthcare should, and can, be seamless, efficient and effective, we strive to ‘connect the dots’ for our customers and consumers, supporting the flow of data needed to care for people in real time, wherever they are.

Going forward, the digitalization of healthcare and – accelerated by COVID-19 – the more widespread adoption of telehealth will play an increasing role in helping people to live healthily and cope with disease, and in enabling care providers to meet people’s health needs, deliver better outcomes and improve productivity.

#### Helping our customers address their healthcare challenges

In the consumer domain, we develop innovative solutions that support healthier lifestyles, prevent disease, and help people to live well with chronic illness, also in the home and community settings.

In addition to leveraging retail trade partnerships and new business models, we are accelerating growth through online channels, delivering products and services direct to consumers, and supporting longer-term relationships to maximize the benefit consumers can derive from our solutions.

In clinics and hospitals, we are teaming up with healthcare providers to innovate and transform the way care is delivered. We listen closely to our customers’ needs and together we co-create solutions that help our customers improve outcomes, patient and staff experience and productivity, and so deliver on the Quadruple Aim of value-based care.

Increasingly, we are working together with our health systems customers in novel business models, including outcome-oriented payment models, that align their interests and ours in long-term partnerships. The combination of compelling solutions and consultative partnership contracts, including a broad range of professional services, drives growth rates above the group average, as well as a higher proportion of recurring revenues.

We are embedding AI and data science in our propositions – for instance, applying the power of predictive data analytics and artificial intelligence at the point of care – to leverage the value of data in the clinical and operational domains, aiding clinical decision making and improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare services.

With our global reach, market leadership positions, deep clinical and technological insights, and innovation capability, we are strongly placed to create further value in a changing healthcare world through our propositions in:

###### Personal health

Delivering solutions that enable healthier lifestyles, personal hygiene and living with chronic disease.

###### Diagnosis & Treatment

- Precision Diagnosis – providing smart, connected systems, optimized workflows, and integrated diagnostic insights, leading to clear care pathways and predictable outcomes
- Image Guided Therapy – innovating minimally invasive procedures in a growing number of therapeutic areas, with significantly better outcomes and productivity

###### Connected Care

Driving better care management by seamlessly connecting patients and caregivers from the hospital to the home.

#### Our key strategic imperatives and value creation objectives

Our roadmap – with its three strategic imperatives – is our guide as we continue our transformation journey to attain HealthTech industry leadership and drive value creation.

Underpinned by these strategic imperatives, and assuming the world economy will return to growth in 2021, Philips’ targets for accelerated growth, higher profitability and improved cash flow for the 2021–2025 period are:

- An acceleration of the average annual Group comparable sales growth**) to 5-6%, with all business segments within this range. For 2021, Philips aims to deliver low-single-digit Group comparable sales growth**), driven by solid growth in Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health, partly offset by lower Connected Care sales.
- An Adjusted EBITA**) margin improvement of 60-80 basis points on average annually from 2021, with a target of the high teens for the Group by 2025; Diagnosis & Treatment is targeted to reach 15-17% Adjusted EBITA**) margin by 2025, Connected Care 17-19%, and Personal Health 19-20%.
- Free cash flow**) above EUR 2 billion by 2025.
- Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)**) of mid-to-high teens by 2025.

The new targets exclude the Domestic Appliances business. As announced in January 2020, Philips is reviewing options for future ownership of its Domestic Appliances business. Philips has started the process of creating a separate legal structure for this business within the Philips Group, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

## 6.2How we create value

Based on the International Integrated Reporting Council framework, and with the Philips Business System at the heart of our endeavors, we use various resources to create value for our stakeholders in the short, medium and long term.

As we drive our transformation to become a solutions provider to our customers and consumers, we have adopted a single standard operating model that defines how we work together effectively to achieve our company objectives – the Philips Business System (PBS). The PBS integrates key aspects of how we operate:

- Our strategy defines our path to sustainable value creation for customers and shareholders.
- Clear governance, roles and responsibilities empower people to collaborate and act fast.
- Standard processes, systems and practices enable lean and agile ways of working.
- We value and develop people and teams, rewarding them for sustainable results.
- We live the Philips culture, which sets standards on behaviors, quality and integrity.
- Through disciplined performance management and continuous improvement we achieve our goals.

Having a single business system increases speed and agility, and enhances standardization, quality and productivity, while driving a better, more consistent experience for our customers.

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips) is the parent company of the Philips Group. In 2020, the reportable segments were Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care businesses, and Personal Health businesses, each having been responsible for the management of its business worldwide. Additionally, Philips identifies the segment Other.

Philips Group

Total sales by reportable segment

| 2020
--- | ---
Diagnosis & Treatment | 42%
Connected Care | 28%
Personal Health | 28%
Other | 2%

### 6.3.1Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses create value through their unique portfolio of innovative diagnostic and minimally invasive procedural solutions – suites of systems, smart devices, software and services powered by AI-enabled informatics. With these integrated solutions, we enable our customers to realize the full potential of the Quadruple Aim – better health outcomes, improved patient experience, improved staff experience, and lower cost of care.

In Precision Diagnosis, serving diagnostic enterprise imaging markets globally, there is significant opportunity to enable precise diagnoses while at the same time supporting adjacent needs for guidance into care pathways and increasing departmental productivity. We do this through breakthrough innovations in our smart diagnostic systems, through dynamic workflow solutions that transform departmental operations, through integrated diagnostics insights from different departments, and through care pathway solutions that allow doctors to diagnose with precision and select the optimal treatment path for the individual patient. Over the period 2019-2020, 60% of our product portfolio in this area has been renewed through the discontinuance of former products, the roll-out of new-generation versions of our products, and the addition of new products.

In Image Guided Therapy, we have pivoted from a focus on imaging modalities to integrated procedural solutions combining systems and therapeutic devices, which can drive more effective treatment, better outcomes and higher productivity. Building upon our leading-edge Azurion platform, we continue to innovate and expand our applications for image-guided therapies and improve workflow and integration in the interventional suite. We are also expanding into adjacent therapeutic areas and innovating the way we engage with our customers in new business models across different care settings, including out-of-hospital settings such as office-based labs and ambulatory surgical centers, which offer clear clinical, financial and operational benefits.

In 2020, the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses were impacted by the postponement of capital equipment installations and routine care, including elective procedures and exams, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, we continued to make advances in innovation and in strengthening our portfolio. For example, we expanded our remote clinical collaboration and virtual training offerings across our portfolio with the acquisition of Innovative Imaging Technologies (IIT) and its Reacts collaborative platform. Leveraging innovative technologies, such as augmented reality for remote virtual guidance, supervision and training, the platform provides unique interactive tools designed to meet the multi-faceted collaborative needs of healthcare professionals and patients. We also launched the vendor-agnostic Radiology Workflow Suite of end-to-end solutions to drive operational and clinical efficiency through the digitalization, integration, and virtualization of radiology. And we further expanded our Interventional Devices portfolio, acquiring Intact Vascular to add an industry-first implantable device, the Tack Endovascular System, to treat peripheral artery disease.

Through our various businesses, Diagnosis & Treatment is focused on growing market share and profitability by leveraging:

- our strong position in Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics with the successful integration of Carestream Health’s Healthcare Information Systems business, acquired in 2019
- intelligent, AI-enabled clinical and operational applications combined with successful innovations in our systems platforms in Diagnostic Imaging and Ultrasound
- our suite of innovative procedural solutions to support delivery of the right therapy in real-time in Image-Guided Therapy
- enhanced offerings in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and radiology service lines, and expanding our solutions offering, which comprises systems, smart devices, informatics, data and services

In 2020, the Diagnosis & Treatment segment consisted of the following areas of business:

- Diagnostic Imaging: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), Advanced Molecular Imaging, Diagnostic X-Ray, Imaging Components, as well as integrated clinical solutions, which include radiation oncology treatment planning, disease-specific oncology solutions and X-Ray dose management
- Ultrasound: imaging products focused on diagnosis, treatment planning and guidance for cardiology, general imaging, obstetrics/gynecology, and point-of-care applications, as well as proprietary software capabilities to enable advanced diagnostics and interventions
- Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics: a suite of integrated products and services that deliver a comprehensive platform designed to connect clinical capabilities and optimize workflows around every step in the patient’s journey across a range of diagnostic (radiology, point-of-care, laboratory) and clinical (oncology, cardiology, neurology) service lines
- Image Guided Therapy: Systems – integrated interventional systems that combine information from imaging systems, interventional devices, navigation tools and patient health records to provide interventional staff with the control and information they need to perform procedures efficiently; Devices – interventional diagnostic and therapeutic devices to treat coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease, including Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), atherectomy catheters, a dissection repair implant and drug-coated balloons

Diagnosis & Treatment

Total sales by business

| 2020
--- | ---
Diagnostic Imaging | 41%
Ultrasound | 20%
Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics | 8%
Image Guided Therapy | 31%

Revenue is predominantly earned through the sale of products, leasing, customer services fees, recurring per-procedure fees for disposable devices, and software license fees. For certain offerings, per-study fees or outcome-based fees are earned over the contract term.

Sales channels are a mix of a direct sales force, especially in all the larger markets, third-party distributors and an online sales portal. This varies by product, market and price segment. Our sales organizations have an intimate knowledge of technologies and clinical applications, as well as the solutions necessary to solve problems for our customers.

Under normal circumstances, sales at Philips’ Diagnosis & Treatment businesses are generally higher in the second half of the year, largely due to the timing of customer spending patterns.

At year-end 2020 Diagnosis & Treatment had around 32,000 employees worldwide.

#### 2020 business highlights

At the Radiological Society of North America event RSNA 2020, Philips introduced an industry-first vendor-neutral Radiology Operations Command Center as part of the Radiology Workflow Suite of solutions.

### 6.3.2Connected Care businesses

Spanning the entire health continuum, the Connected Care businesses help broaden the reach and deepen the impact of healthcare with solutions that leverage and unite devices, informatics, data and people across networks of care, to enable our customers to deliver on the Quadruple Aim – better health outcomes, improved patient experience, improved staff experience, and lower cost of care.

In 2020, Connected Care played a crucial role in fulfilling customer needs created by the COVID-19 global pandemic, from ramping up production and delivery of our core systems such as ventilators and monitors, to supporting the urgent expansion of telehealth for the ICU, and driving safe, remote patient care.

Although no one was fully prepared for this crisis, Philips had the critical portfolio and the informatics investments in place to rapidly scale up, supporting care in the hospital and the home, even as healthcare delivery models were changing fast.

Philips increased ventilator production multifold to meet the high COVID-19-related demand, and shipped ventilators across the world using a fair and ethical approach to allocate supply to acute patient demands based on COVID-19 data and the available critical care capacity.

This past year showed the value of strong leadership positions and close ties with our customers. Building on Philips’ trusted brand, deep clinical insights and large installed base allowed us to drive impact. Philips combined the right monitoring equipment, respiratory devices, consumables and services to innovate solutions to help tackle COVID-19.

Also critical during COVID-19: the expertise and informatics to help scale and manage scarce resources in the health system. The capabilities in Connected Care are built around Philips’ strength in verticals (monitoring & analytics, sleep & respiratory care, and therapeutic care) and horizontals (connected care informatics and population health) to improve clinical and economic outcomes in all care settings, both inside and outside the hospital.

Philips has a deep understanding of clinical care and the patient experience. When coupled with our consultative approach, this allows us to be an effective partner for transformation, both across the enterprise and at the level of the individual clinician. These services are designed to take the burden off hospital staff with optimized patient and data flow, predictive analytics, improved workflow, customized training and improved accessibility across our application landscape.

This requires a secure common digital platform that connects and aligns consumers, patients, payers and healthcare providers. Philips’ platforms aggregate and leverage information from clinical, personal and historical data to support care providers in delivering precision diagnoses and treatment.

In 2020, the Connected Care segment consisted of the following areas of business:

- Monitoring & Analytics: Integrated patient monitoring systems to drive better patient management and improved outcomes, fueled by real-time clinical insights. Assets include wearable biosensors, advanced intelligence platforms for real-time clinical information at the patient’s bedside; patient analytics, including diagnostic ECG data management; maintenance, clinical and IT services, as well as consumables. While Philips solutions already monitor over 300 million people per year, demand is growing, also for new business models such as Monitoring as a Service.
- Sleep & Respiratory Care: Philips’ cloud-based sleep and respiratory patient management solutions enable the care of more than 10.5 million connected patients, driving adherence, reimbursement and remote patient management. From consumer sleep solutions, including those for disease-state sleep such as obstructive sleep apnea, to end-to-end solutions that encompass consumer engagement, diagnostics, people-centric therapy, cloud-based connected propositions and care management services. The COVID-19 crisis has put respiratory care at the top of the list for delivering critical and chronic care to patients. Respiratory offerings include COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) care management, with digital and connected solutions; Hospital Respiratory Care provides invasive and non-invasive ventilators for acute and sub-acute hospital environments; Home Respiratory Care supports chronic care management in the home.
- Therapeutic Care: Emergency Care & Resuscitation (ECR) and patient management solutions play a critical role in connected acute care management, both inside and outside the hospital, including cardiac resuscitation and emergency care solutions (devices, services, and digital/data solutions); consumables across the patient monitoring and therapeutic care businesses; customer service, including clinical, IT, technical and remote customer propositions.
- Connected Care Informatics and Population Health Management*): Connected Care Informatics drives cohesive informatics platforms and innovations across the health continuum. Connecting people, technology and processes, Connected Care Informatics’ capabilities include a fully integrated Electronic Medical Record business, which enables centralized management of clinical, organizational and operational processes across the health enterprise, remote patient management, and real-time monitoring in acute care, including telehealth in the ICU. Philips’ Tele-ICU program played a pivotal role in 2020, enabling clinicians to remotely monitor a scalable amount of ICU beds from a central monitoring facility with predictive analytics and camera-enabled bedside support. Population Health Management provides data, analytics and workflow solutions designed to improve clinical and financial results and increase patient engagement, satisfaction and compliance. This business has been partially merged into Connected Care Informatics effective 2021.

| 2020
--- | ---
Monitoring & Analytics | 40%
Sleep & Respiratory Care | 49%
Therapeutic Care | 5%
Connected Care Informatics and Population Health Management | 6%

In most of the Connected Care businesses, revenue is earned through the sale of products and solutions, customer services fees and software license fees. Where bundled offerings result in solutions for our customers, or offerings are based on the number of people being monitored, we see more usage-based earnings models. In Sleep & Respiratory Care, revenue is generated both through product sales and through rental models, whereby revenue is generated over time.

Sales channels include a mix of a direct salesforce, partly paired with an online sales portal and distributors (varying by product, market and price segment). Sales are mostly driven by a direct salesforce with an intimate knowledge of the procedures that use our integrated solutions’ smart devices, systems, software and services. Philips works with customers and partners to co-create solutions, drive commercial innovation and adapt to new models such as monitoring-as-a-service.

Sales at Philips’ Connected Care businesses are generally higher in the second half of the year, largely due to customer spending patterns. In 2020 this pattern shifted due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At year-end 2020, the Connected Care businesses had around 16,000 employees worldwide.

*)In Q4 2020, the Aging and Caregiving portion of the Population Health Management business was split in anticipation of its future divestment. The remaining Population Health Management business has been combined with the Connected Care Informatics business for presentational purposes, and from January 1, 2021, the Connected Care Informatics business and the remaining portion of the Population Health Management business have been combined for reporting purposes.

#### 2020 business highlights

In the face of the global shortage of ventilators and patient monitors upon the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked intensively, together with our supply chain partners around the world, to drive a massive ramp-up in production, increasing ventilator manufacturing eightfold and monitor production fivefold.

Philips introduced Rapid Equipment Deployment Kits for ICU ramp-ups, allowing doctors, nurses, technicians and hospital staff to quickly support critical care patients.

Philips introduced several dedicated telehealth solutions to help relieve the tremendous pressure placed on scarce resources by the growing number of COVID-19 patients. Based on its proven Patient Reported Outcomes Management solution, which is being used by more than 100 healthcare institutions globally, Philips enabled Dutch hospitals and GPs to remotely screen and monitor patients with COVID-19.

In December 2020, Philips announced the intended acquisition of BioTelemetry Inc., a leading remote cardiac diagnostics and monitoring company in the US, with solutions comprised of wearable connected heart monitors, AI-based data analytics and a services platform. The transaction was completed on February 9, 2021. The combination of Philips’ leading patient monitoring position in the hospital with BioTelemetry’s leading cardiac diagnostics and monitoring position outside the hospital is expected to result in a global leader in patient care management solutions for the hospital and the home for cardiac and other patients.

In January 2021, Philips announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Capsule Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of medical device integration and data technologies for hospitals and healthcare organizations. The combination of Philips’ industry-leading portfolio with Capsule’s leading Medical Device Information Platform, connected through Philips’ secure vendor-neutral cloud-based HealthSuite digital platform, will enrich and scale Philips’ patient care management solutions for all care settings in the hospital, as well as remote patient care. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021.

Highlighting its strength in strategic partnerships to enhance patient care and improve care provider productivity, Philips signed multiple new agreements. 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.

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.

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.

Through our Personal Health businesses, we offer a broad range of solutions in various consumer price segments, always aiming to offer and realize premium value. We continue to rationalize our portfolio of locally relevant innovations and increase its accessibility, particularly in lower-tier cities in growth geographies. A notable aspect of our commercial strategy is driving increased direct-to-consumer relationships and sales through our consumer communities and online store. We believe we are well positioned to capture further growth in online sales and continue to build our digital and e-commerce capabilities.

We are leveraging connectivity to offer new business models, partnering with other players in the health ecosystem, e.g. insurance companies, with the goal of extending opportunities for people to live healthily, prevent or manage disease. We are engaging consumers in their health journey in new and impactful ways through social media and digital innovation.

For example, the Philips Sonicare app acts as a ‘virtual hub’ for personal oral healthcare, helping users to manage their complete oral care on a daily basis and share brushing data with their dental practitioners, putting personalized guidance and advice at their fingertips. In our drive to innovate oral healthcare, we are partnering with leading insurance companies, which are moving to more preventative models of care. To that end, they need to encourage consumers to brush twice per day, for two minutes at a time, as that leads to better health outcomes and lower cost of care. The first results from the pilot program are extremely promising. Solutions and services like this offer a win-win for consumers and insurers: for consumers, because they get better oral care, and for insurance companies, because they have less cost per patient.

We also offer mobile solutions to support parents and parents-to-be for a more informed, more connected and healthier journey to parenthood. Powered by personalized AI and deep analytics, the Pregnancy+ app and Baby+ app offer parents supportive content at every stage of their first 1,000-day journey. Pregnancy+ also offers state-of-the-art, photo-realistic and interactive 3D fetal models to make the experience even more exciting. In 2020, to help expectant mothers navigate pregnancy in times of the pandemic, we introduced an in-app COVID-19 guide. As of year-end 2020, the Pregnancy+ app and Baby+ app combined have almost 2 million daily active users in over 50 countries.

The company’s wide portfolio of connected consumer health platforms leverages Philips HealthSuite, a cloud-enabled connected health ecosystem of devices, apps and digital tools that enable personalized health and continuous care.

The revenue model is mainly based on product sale at the point in time the products are delivered to retailers and online platforms. We are increasingly diversifying the revenue model with new business models, including direct-to-consumer, subscriptions and services.

The Personal Health businesses experience seasonality, with higher sales around key national and international events and holidays.

At year-end 2020, Personal Health employed around 17,000 people worldwide.

*)As announced in January 2020, Philips is reviewing options for future ownership of its Domestic Appliances business. Philips has started the process of creating a separate legal structure for this business within the Philips Group, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

#### International Markets

In our international markets, Philips entered into many new customer partnerships, including the following:

In the United Kingdom, Philips was awarded a 7-year strategic partnership with South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with a workforce of around 9,000 providing a range of specialist regional services to 1.5 million people. This collaboration will utilize Philips’ innovative Vue PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) technology and VNA (Vendor-Neutral Archiving) capability to support the Trust in connecting and integrating imaging facilities across multiple regional locations to provide seamless image sharing. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, Philips rapidly arranged for delivery of vital health technology equipment and provided remote simulation-based training sessions that enabled life-saving techniques without putting healthcare professionals at further risk.

## 6.5Supply chain and procurement

### 6.5.1Supply chain

Philips runs an Integrated Supply Chain, which encompasses supplier selection and management through procurement, manufacturing across all the industrial sites, logistics and warehousing operations, as well as demand/supply orchestration.

Striving for a balanced ‘regional vs global’ approach, the Integrated Supply Chain supports our business expansion, ensuring adequate capacity and speed while leveraging our global processes, standards and capabilities aligned with our industrial footprint strategy to become more efficient and effective.

In order to improve demand forecasting accuracy and manage inventories more efficiently, we piloted the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in our North American operations in the Personal Health business. We achieved an improved forecast accuracy of more than 20% and better fill rates, leading to increased customer satisfaction. We are now in the process of rolling this out to the rest of the world.

When selecting and evaluating partners, we consider not only business metrics such as cost, quality and on-time delivery performance, but also environmental, social and governance factors. We use supplier classification models to identify critical suppliers, including those supplying materials, components and services that could influence the safety and performance of our products and solutions.

Since 2017, Philips has been consolidating its manufacturing footprint into versatile ‘multi-modality’ manufacturing sites that produce multiple product categories and are located within or near the regions they serve, for enhanced scale, efficiency, and customer proximity. As of the end of 2020, 25 sites have been closed or divested. During the same period, Philips has acquired 10 sites. We have also started to transform our warehousing and distribution operations into a more customer-centric and agile network that is more responsive to market volatility. In the last two years, we have reduced our warehousing footprint by 28% through, among other things, consolidation and servicing of multiple businesses from a single location.

The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the resilience and ingenuity of our people and partners in every part of our integrated supply chain, as we adjusted production capacity to the fluctuations in market demand. We teamed up with partners such as KLM to establish air corridors to enable us to supply essential healthcare equipment and solutions during the lockdown periods. We worked closely with our manufacturing sites as well our suppliers to deal with local (partial) lockdowns and safeguard a reliable supply of components and parts, prioritizing delivery of critical equipment to those in need.

### 6.5.2Procurement

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant disruption to demand and international trade flows. Under these circumstances, the Procurement function was focused on managing uninterrupted supplies to enable Philips to provide critical life-saving healthcare equipment and solutions to our customers all over the world. For example, we had to make a steep ramp-up in the production of ventilators from 1,000 per week to 4,000 per week within a short period of 5 months. This necessitated significant investments in our own plants, as well as close cooperation with our contract manufacturers and parts suppliers, to ensure the availability of the significantly increased capacity. In certain cases, we needed to shift the supplier locations to countries where the impact of the pandemic was low.

For many components, lead times increased significantly, leading to shortages. Market prices for raw materials showed extreme volatility, falling in the first half of the year and recovering from their lows from June onwards, led by a return to manufacturing growth in China. In general, in the second half of the year the economy continued its path to recovery, with manufacturing output and new orders both rising.

### 6.5.3Supplier sustainability

Philips’ purpose to improve people’s lives applies throughout our value chain. An important area of focus for the Integrated Supply Chain is sustainability, and we are actively working on this together with our partners, be they suppliers or energy or logistics providers. Close cooperation with our suppliers not only helps us deliver health technology innovations, it also supports new approaches that help us minimize our environmental impact and maximize the social and economic value we create.

Since 2003 we have dedicated supplier sustainability programs as part of our sustainability strategy. We have a direct (tier 1) business relationship with approximately 3,300 product and component suppliers and 16,000 service providers. In many cases, social issues deeper in our supply chain require us to intervene beyond tier 1 of the chain.

We want to make a difference through sustainable supply management and responsible sourcing. This is more than simply managing compliance – it is about working together with our supply partners to have a positive and lasting impact. Therefore, the sustainability performance of our suppliers is fully embedded in our procurement organization and strategy.

In 2020, our focus was on further maximizing our positive impact on the supply chain. Through the Supplier Sustainability Performance program, we improved the lives of 302,000 workers in our supply chain. We also explored new ways to leverage the power of data in our sustainability engagements. Through new use-cases, we are utilizing insights from machine learning to strengthen the efficacy and effectiveness of sustainability performance at our suppliers.

Managing our large and complex supply chain in a socially and environmentally responsible way requires a structured and innovative approach, while being transparent and engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders. In 2020, our programs focused specifically on improving suppliers’ sustainability performance, responsible sourcing of minerals, and reducing the environmental footprint of our supply base.

# 7Financial performance

## 7.1Performance review

### The year 2020

- Sales amounted to EUR 19.5 billion, in line with 2019 on a nominal basis. On a comparable basis*), overall sales growth was 3%, with 22% growth in the Connected Care businesses, a 2% decline in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, and a 4% decline in the Personal Health businesses.
- Net income amounted to EUR 1.2 billion, an increase of EUR 22 million compared to 2019, mainly due to lower net financial expenses and lower income tax expenses, partly offset by charges of EUR 144 million related to impairment of goodwill. Net income is not allocated to segments, as certain income and expense line items are recorded on a centralized basis.
- Adjusted EBITA*) amounted to EUR 2.6 billion, or 13.2% of sales, in line with 2019. The productivity programs delivered annual savings of approximately EUR 447 million and included approximately EUR 222 million procurement savings, led by the Design for Excellence (DfX) program, and approximately EUR 225 million savings from other productivity programs. While the Connected Care businesses delivered improved profit expansion, both the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Personal Health businesses showed a decline in Adjusted EBITA*) margin. This was primarily due to lower volumes and resulting lower factory fixed cost coverage, an adverse mix impact due to lower sales in Ultrasound and Image-Guided Therapy in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, and the decline in sales, partly offset by cost savings, in the Personal Health businesses.
- Operating cash flow amounted to EUR 2.8 billion, an increase of EUR 746 million, mainly due to working capital improvements, in particular better management of outstanding receivables. The 2019 figure was mainly attributable to higher earnings, partly offset by higher working capital outflows and higher tax paid. Free cash flow*) amounted to EUR 1.9 billion, compared to EUR 1.1 billion in 2019.
- In 2020, Philips completed three acquisitions, with Intact Vascular, Inc. (Intact Vascular) being the most notable.
- On January 29, 2019, Philips announced a new EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes. As of the end of 2020, Philips had completed 50.3% of this program. Philips has executed the second half of the program through individual forward transactions with settlement dates extending into the second half of 2021.
- In January 2020, Philips announced that it would review options for future ownership of its Domestic Appliances business, part of the Personal Health segment. Philips has started the process of creating a separate legal structure for this business within the Philips Group, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021. Separation costs of EUR 42 million were incurred in 2020.

### Coronavirus disease 2020 (COVID-19) outbreak

In 2020, COVID-19 affected the global economy and the company’s results. In the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, comparable sales*) declined due to the postponement of installations and elective procedures resulting from the impact of COVID-19. In the Personal Health businesses, COVID-19 led to a decline in comparable sales*) due to lockdowns in several countries. The Connected Care businesses recorded comparable sales growth*), as our innovations in both Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care were able to help our customers combat the pandemic.

##### The year 2019

- Sales rose to EUR 19.5 billion, a nominal increase of 8%, with 10% growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, 8% growth in the Connected Care businesses and 6% growth in the Personal Health businesses. On a comparable basis*) sales growth was 4.5%, with 5% growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, 5% growth in the Personal Health businesses, and 3% growth in the Connected Care businesses.
- Net income amounted to EUR 1.2 billion, an increase of EUR 76 million compared to 2018, mainly due to improvements in operational performance, lower net financial expenses and lower charges related to discontinued operations, partly offset by higher income tax expense and charges of EUR 97 million related to impairment of goodwill. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are recorded on a centralized basis.
- Adjusted EBITA*) increased to EUR 2.6 billion, or 13.2% of sales, an increase of EUR 197 million, or 10 basis points as a % of sales, compared to 2018. The productivity programs delivered annual savings of approximately EUR 480 million, and included approximately EUR 166 million procurement savings, led by the Design for Excellence (DfX) program, and EUR 314 million savings from other productivity programs. While the Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health businesses delivered good profit expansion, the Connected Care business showed a decline of 200 basis points, primarily due to tariffs, an adverse currency impact, mix and higher material costs.
- Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to EUR 2.0 billion, an increase of EUR 251 million, mainly due to higher earnings that were partly offset by higher working capital outflows and higher tax paid, while 2018 included an outflow of EUR 130 million related to pension liability de-risking. Free cash flow*) amounted to EUR 1.1 billion compared to EUR 984 million in 2018.
- In the second quarter of 2019, Philips completed its EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program that was announced on June 28, 2017. All of the shares acquired under the program were cancelled.
- On January 29, 2019, Philips announced a new EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes. As of the end of 2019, Philips completed 41.5% of this program.

New borrowings of long-term debt include the net proceeds of EUR 991 million from the issuance of two new bonds under the EMTN program in 2020. Repayments of long-term debt amounted to EUR 298 million, mainly due to the repayment of leases. Changes in payment obligations from forward contracts are mainly related to the forward contracts entered into of EUR 745 million to complete the remainder of the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program announced on January 29, 2019. In addition, Philips entered into forward contracts of a total amount of EUR 174 million in 2020 related to the long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans announced on January 29, 2020, and a total amount of EUR 126 million of forward contracts matured relating to the company's long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans announced on October 22, 2018. These payment obligations are recorded as financial liabilities under long-term debt. Other changes, mainly resulting from currency effects, led to a decrease of EUR 221 million.

In 2019, total debt increased by EUR 626 million compared to 2018. Total debt at December 31, 2019 included additional lease liabilities of EUR 1,059 million which were recorded following the adoption of IFRS 16 lease accounting in 2019; this did not have a cash impact. New borrowings of long-term debt included the net proceeds from the issuance of the Green Innovation Bond of EUR 744 million. Repayments of long-term debt amounted to EUR 761 million, mainly due to the repayment of a EUR 500 million bond at its scheduled maturity. Changes in payment obligations from forward contracts were mainly related to maturing forward contracts for the completed 2017 share buyback program and the share repurchase program announced in November 2018. These payment obligations were recorded as financial liabilities under long-term and short-term debt. Other changes, mainly resulting from currency effects, led to an increase of EUR 170 million.

In 2018, total debt increased by EUR 105 million compared to 2017. New borrowings of long-term debt of EUR 1,287 million were mainly due to the issuance of fixed-rate bonds, EUR 500 million due 2024 and EUR 500 million due 2028, and a new long-term loan of EUR 200 million. Repayments of long-term debt amounted to EUR 1,161 million, mainly due to the early redemption of all the 3.750% USD bonds due 2022 with an aggregate principal amount of USD 1.0 billion, the redemption of 6.875% USD bonds due 2038 with an aggregate principal amount of USD 72 million, and the repayment of a loan of EUR 178 million. Changes in payment obligations from forward contracts are mainly related to maturing forward contracts for the 2017 share buyback program and new forward contracts entered into for the extended share repurchase program for LTI and stock purchase plans announced in November 2018. Other changes, mainly resulting from new leases recognized and currency effects, led to an increase of EUR 70 million.

Philips has a EUR 1 billion committed revolving credit facility which was signed in April 2017 and will expire in April 2024. The facility can be used for general group purposes, such as a backstop of its Commercial Paper Program.

The Commercial Paper Program amounts to USD 2.5 billion, under which Philips can issue commercial paper up to 364 days in tenor, both in the US and in Europe, in any major freely convertible currency. As of December 31, 2020, Philips did not have any loans outstanding under these facilities.

During the year 2020, Philips established a Euro Medium – Term Note (EMTN) program which facilitates the issuance of notes for a total amount of up to EUR 10.0 billion. As of December 31, 2020, Philips had issued bonds amounting to EUR 1 billion under the program.

Additionally, at December 31, 2020 Philips held EUR 17 million of listed (level 1) equity investments at fair value in common shares of companies in various industries. Refer to Other financial assets and Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risks. In terms of liquidity risk, the company has taken a number of different measures to manage this risk, specifically with relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the successful placement of EUR 1,000 million fixed-rate notes in March (of which EUR 500 million Sustainability Innovation notes), the company also completed the remainder of the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program that was announced on January 29, 2019 through individual forward contracts, with settlement dates extending into the second half of 2021. Furthermore, the 2019 Annual incentive of the Board of Management and the final dividend declared against the net income of 2019 were settled in shares instead of cash. Overall, the company has a solid liquidity position and the company's liquidity risk management procedures have not changed significantly because of COVID-19. No significant concentration risks have been identified as a result of COVID-19 and the company continues to have access to its existing lines of credit. These lines of credits, along with other financial risks to which Philips is exposed, are disclosed in Details of treasury and other financial risks.

Philips’ existing long-term debt is rated A- (with stable outlook) by Fitch, Baa1 (with stable outlook) by Moody’s, and BBB+ (with stable outlook) by Standard & Poor’s. As part of our capital allocation policy, our net debt*) position is managed with the intention of retaining our current investment grade credit rating. Ratings are subject to change at any time and there is no assurance that Philips will be able to achieve this goal. Philips aim when managing the net debt*) position is dividend stability and a pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders*). Philips’ outstanding long-term debt and credit facilities do not contain financial covenants. Adverse changes in the company’s ratings will not trigger automatic withdrawal of committed credit facilities or any acceleration in the outstanding long-term debt (provided that the USD-denominated bonds issued by Philips in March 2008 and 2012 contain a ‘Change of Control Triggering Event’ and the EUR-denominated bonds contain a ‘Change of Control Put Event’). A description of Philips’ credit facilities can be found in Debt.

Philips Group

Credit rating summary

| long-term | short-term | outlook
Fitch | A- |  | Stable
Moody's | Baa1 | P-2 | Stable
Standard & Poor's | BBB+ | A-2 | Stable

Philips pools cash from subsidiaries to the extent legally and economically feasible. Cash not pooled remains available for local operational needs or general purposes. The company faces cross-border foreign exchange controls and/or other legal restrictions in a few countries which could limit its ability to make these balances available on short notice for general use by the group.

Philips believes its current liquidity and direct access to capital markets is sufficient to meet its present financing needs.

### 7.1.8Shareholders’ equity

In 2020, shareholders’ equity decreased by EUR 727 million to EUR 11,870 million at year-end. The increase in the net income of EUR 1,195 million, as well as the impact of the accounting for share-based compensation plans, including the effect of related hedging transactions through share call options (in aggregate EUR 112 million) increased shareholders’ equity. This was largely offset by currency translation losses of EUR 1,037 million, primarily, due to the depreciation of the US dollar against the Euro in 2020, the purchase of forward contracts for the completion of the share buyback program (EUR 793 million), settlements of earlier concluded forward contracts (EUR 126 million) and the share repurchases made in the open market (EUR 130 million).

Shareholders’ equity increased by EUR 509 million in 2019 to EUR 12,597 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to net results of EUR 1,173 million, the positive impact of currency translation differences of EUR 239 million, net fair value increases of financial assets of EUR 82 million, and the impact of the accounting for share-based compensation plans, including the effect of related hedging transactions through forward contracts and share call options (in aggregate EUR 112 million). This was mainly offset by acquired shares because of settlements of earlier concluded forward transactions of EUR 706 million, share repurchases made in the open market of EUR 621 million, and dividend payments to shareholders of Royal Philips of EUR 453 million (including tax and service charges).

Shareholders’ equity increased by EUR 89 million in 2018 to EUR 12,088 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to net results of EUR 1,097 million and the positive impact of currency translation differences of EUR 347 million. This was mainly offset by share repurchases made in the open market of EUR 514 million, dividend payments to shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V. of EUR 400 million (including tax and service charges), net fair value declines of financial assets of EUR 147 million, and the impact of the accounting for share-based compensation plans, including the effect of related hedging transactions through forward contracts and share call options (in aggregate EUR 191 million).

The open market transactions via an intermediary allow for buybacks during both open and closed periods.

On March 23, 2020, Philips announced that 50.3% of the program had been completed through repurchases by an intermediary to allow for purchases in the open market during both open and closed periods, and that the remainder of the program would be executed through one or more individual forward transactions. Consequently, in the first half of 2020 Philips entered into four forward contracts for an amount of EUR 745 million to acquire 20 million shares with settlement dates varying between June 2021 and December 2021. Moreover, on January 29, 2020, Philips announced that it will repurchase up to 6 million shares to cover certain of its obligations arising from its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Under this program, Philips entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 174 million to acquire 5 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2021 and November 2022. For further details on these publicly announced plans or programs refer to Equity 2)Philips cancelled 3.8 million shares on June 25, 2020.3)In 2020, Philips did not determine to terminate any publicly announced plans or programs prior to expiration, or determine that it intends not to make any further purchases under any publicly announced plans or programs. 4)As described above, Philips acquired shares via three different methods: (i) share buyback repurchases in the open market via an intermediary, (ii) repurchase of shares via forward contracts for future delivery of shares, (iii) the unwinding of call options on own shares.

### 7.1.9Cash obligations

#### Contractual cash obligations

The following table presents a summary of the Group’s fixed contractual cash obligations and commitments at December 31, 2020. These amounts are an estimate of future payments, which could change as a result of various factors such as a change in interest rates, foreign exchange, contractual provisions, as well as changes in our business strategy and needs. Therefore, the actual payments made in future periods may differ from those presented in the following table:

1)Amounts in this table are undiscounted 2)This table excludes post-employment benefit plan contribution commitments and income tax liabilities in respect of tax risks because it is not possible to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the actual period of cash settlement.3)Long-term debt includes interest and the current portion of long-term debt and excludes lease obligations.4)Purchase obligations are agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding for the Group. They specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. They do not include open purchase orders or other commitments which do not specify all significant terms.

Philips has contracts with investment funds where it committed itself to make, under certain conditions, capital contributions to these funds of an aggregated remaining amount of EUR 132 million (2019: EUR 61 million). As at December 31, 2020 capital contributions already made to these investment funds are recorded as non-current financial assets.

Philips offers voluntary supply chain finance programs with third parties which provide participating suppliers with the opportunity to factor their trade receivables at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. Philips continues to recognize these liabilities as trade payables and settles them accordingly on the invoice maturity date based on the terms and conditions of these arrangements . At December 31, 2020 approximately EUR 227 million of the Philips accounts payable were transferred under these arrangements.

#### Other cash commitments

The company and its subsidiaries sponsor post-employment benefit plans in many countries in accordance with legal requirements, customs and the local situation in the countries involved. For a discussion of the plans and expected cash outflows, please refer to Post-employment benefits.

The company had EUR 117 million restructuring-related provisions by the end of 2020, of which EUR 100 million is expected to result in cash outflows in 2021. Refer to Provisions for details of restructuring provisions.

Please refer to Dividend for information on the proposed dividend distribution.

As of December 31, 2020, Philips had completed the remainder of its EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program through individual forward contracts with settlement dates extending into the second half of 2021. As the program was initiated for capital reduction purposes, Philips intends to cancel all of the shares acquired under the program.

Please refer to Debt for information on other Long term incentive and employee stock purchase plans.

#### Guarantees

Philips’ policy is to provide guarantees and other letters of support only in writing. Philips does not provide other forms of support. The total fair value of guarantees recognized on the balance sheet amounts to EUR nil million for both 2019 and 2020. Remaining off-balance-sheet business-related guarantees on behalf of third parties and associates decreased by EUR 5 million during 2020 to EUR 16 million (December 31, 2019: EUR 21 million).

### 7.1.10Dividend

#### Dividend policy

Philips’ dividend policy is aimed at dividend stability and a pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders*). This non-IFRS measure is described in further detail in Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.

#### Proposed distribution

A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 6, 2021, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income of 2020.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 10, 2021 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 11, 2021.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 12 and June 4, 2021. If no choice is made during this election period, the dividend will be paid in cash. 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 Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on June 2, 3 and 4, 2021. 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 the gross dividend in cash. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced on June 8, 2021. Payment of the dividend (up to EUR 775 million) and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 9, 2021. The distribution of dividend in cash to holders of New York Registry shares will be made in USD at the USD/EUR rate as per WM/ Reuters FX Benchmark 2 PM CET fixing of June 7, 2021.

| ex-dividend date | record date | payment date
Euronext Amsterdam | May 10, 2021 | May 11, 2021 | June 9, 2021
New York Stock Exchange | May 10, 2021 | May 11, 2021 | June 9, 2021

Further details will be given in the agenda for the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The proposed distribution and all dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

Dividend in cash is in principle subject to 15% Dutch dividend withholding tax, which will be deducted from the dividend in cash paid to the shareholders. Dividend in shares paid out of net income and retained earnings is subject to 15% dividend withholding tax, but only in respect of the par value of the shares (EUR 0.20 per share). Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisor on the applicable situation with respect to taxes on the dividend received.

In 2020, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 758 million including costs. Shareholders received the dividend in shares only, resulting in the issuance of 18,080,198 new common shares, leading to a 2.0% dilution. The dilution caused by the newly issued dividend shares was partially offset by the cancellation of 3,809,675 shares in June 2020. No cash dividend settlement took place in 2020. On March 23, 2020 Philips announced that the remainder of the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program would be executed through forward purchases. The delivery of 20,476,023 shares purchased through forward contracts will take place from June 23, 2021 to December 20, 2021. These shares are marked for cancellation.

#### Dividends and distributions per common share

The following table sets forth in euros the gross dividends on the common shares in the fiscal years indicated (from prior-year profit distribution) and such amounts as converted into US dollars and paid to holders of shares of the New York Registry:

Philips Group

Gross dividends on the common shares

### 7.1.11Future ownership of the Domestic Appliances business

In January 2020, Philips announced that it would review options for future ownership of its Domestic Appliances business, part of the Personal Health segment.

Following the announcement, Philips started the process of creating a separate legal structure for this business within the Philips Group, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, Philips still needs to take some important steps in its internal separation process, especially in the area of Human Resources (establishing a dedicated workforce for the Domestic Appliances business), Information Technology (creation of a dedicated IT environment to support the core processes of the Domestic Appliances business) and Finance (completion of the allocation of assets and liabilities to the Domestic Appliances business asset). Based on the progress we have made so far, we concluded that the Domestic Appliances business as per December 31, 2020 is not available for immediate sale in its present condition to a third party.

The Domestic Appliances business had EUR 2.2 billion sales in 2020 (2019: EUR 2.3 billion). Following the divestment of the Domestic Appliances business, the retained Personal Health businesses will continue to play an important role in the company’s integrated health continuum approach through connected products and solutions to support the health and well-being of people.

## 7.2Critical accounting policies

The preparation of Philips’ financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses at the date of our financial statements. The policies that management considers both to be most important to the presentation of Philips’ financial condition and results of operations and to make the most significant demands on management’s judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, are discussed below. Management cautions that future events often vary from forecasts and that estimates routinely require adjustment. A more detailed description of Philips’ accounting policies appears in Significant accounting policies

### Income taxes

As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it conducts business. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense and deferred tax. Temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability and will only recognize these if it is believed that sufficient future taxable profit is available, including income from forecasted operating earnings, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and established tax planning relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity. For a discussion of the tax uncertainties, please refer to the information under the heading “Tax risks” in Income taxes.

### Revenue recognition

From time to time the Company is engaged in complex sales transactions relating to multi-element deliveries (for example a single sales transaction that combines the delivery of goods and rendering of services). The process of revenue recognition of such multi-element sales transactions involves the identification of the different performance obligations, the allocation of revenue to these performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition as or when the performance obligation is satisfied. Each of these process steps can be complex and requires judgment. In order to identify whether the performance obligation in a single sales contract are distinct, the Company verifies if the customer can benefit from the good or service, either on its own, or with other readily available resources, and whether the promise to transfer a good or service separate from the other promised goods or services in the contract. Allocation of revenue to the different components is performed based on stand-alone selling prices of each performance obligation. The best evidence of a standalone selling price is the observable price of a good or service sold in similar circumstances and to similar customers. When a standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is estimated, based on either adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus margin approach or residual approach. Eventually, revenue for each performance obligation is recognized as or when the performance obligation is satisfied in accordance with IFRS 15.

### Provisions

The Company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings, and discussions on potential remedial actions, relating to such matters as antitrust laws, competition issues, commercial transactions, product liabilities, participations and environmental pollution. Since the ultimate disposition of asserted claims and proceedings and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes a liability when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the outflow will take place can be measured reliably. If the likelihood of the outcome is less than probable and more than remote or a reliable estimate is not determinable, the matter is disclosed as a contingent liability if management concludes that it is material.

In determining the provision for the environmental remediation obligations, significant judgments are necessary. The Company utilizes experts in the estimation process. The Company provides for cost associated with environmental obligations when they are probable and can be estimated reliably. The provisions are adjusted as new information becomes available and they are remeasured at the end of each period using the current discount rate.

Provisions on restructuring represents estimated costs of initiated reorganizations, the most significant of which have been approved by the Executive Committee, and which generally involve the realignment of certain parts of the industrial and commercial organization. When such restructurings require discontinuance and/or closure of lines of activities, the anticipated costs of closure or discontinuance are included in restructuring provisions. A liability is recognized for those costs only when the Company has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation with those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. Before a provision is established, the Company recognized any impairment loss on the assets associated with the restructuring.

The Company provides for warranty costs based on historical trends in product return rates and the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighing of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

### Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require so. The Company reviews non-financial assets (other than goodwill and intangibles not yet ready for use) for impairment, when events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

In determining impairments for these assets, management must make significant judgments and estimates to determine whether the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value. Changes in assumptions and estimates included within the impairment reviews and tests could result in significantly different results than those recorded in the Consolidated financial statements.

In 2020 the Company performed and completed goodwill annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter, in line with 2019 and 2018.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs). The basis of the recoverable amount used in the impairment tests is the value in use, unless the fair value less cost of disposal exceeds the value in use. Value in use is measured as the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Fair value less cost of disposal is measured as the amount obtained from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction, less costs of disposal. Key assumptions used in the impairment tests were sales growth rates, EBITA*) and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using the Royal Philips management’s internal forecasts. Please refer to Goodwill and Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

### Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, contract assets, lease receivables debt investments carried at fair value through Other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and amortized cost. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted when needed. In determining impairments for these assets, management must make significant judgments and estimates to determine the cash flows it expects to receive, and changes in underlying assumptions could result in significantly different results than those recorded in the Consolidated financial statements.

### Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or that is classified as held for sale, and (a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; (b) is a part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or (c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to sell. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Determining whether a non-current asset will be primarily recovered through sale rather than through continuing use requires judgment. The Company assesses whether such asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups, and its sale is assessed to be highly probable. Furthermore, in order to determine if that component qualifies as a discontinued operation, judgment is required when the Company assesses whether a component of an entity represents a major line of business or geographical area compared to the whole of the Company and whether the sale is part of a single coordinated plan. A change in circumstances could result in significantly different results than those recorded in the Consolidated financial statements.

### New Accounting Standards

For a description of the new pronouncements, please refer to the information under the heading “IFRS accounting standards adopted as from 2020” in Significant accounting policies.

### Off-balance sheet arrangements

Please refer to the information under the heading “Guarantees” in Cash obligations and Contingent assets and liabilities.

## 7.3Taxation

### Dutch taxation

The statements below are only a general summary of certain material Dutch tax consequences for holders of common shares that are non-residents of the Netherlands based on present Dutch tax laws and the Tax Convention of December 18, 1992, as amended by the protocol that entered into force on December 28, 2004, between the United States of America and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (the US Tax Treaty) and are not to be read as extending by implication to matters not specifically referred to herein. As to individual tax consequences, investors in common shares should consult their own professional tax advisor.

With respect to a holder of common shares that is an individual who receives income or derives capital gains from common shares and this income received or capital gains derived are attributable to past, present or future employment activities of such holder, the income of which is taxable in the Netherlands, the Dutch tax position is not discussed in this summary.

### Dividend withholding tax

In general, a distribution to shareholders by a company resident in the Netherlands (such as the Company) is subject to a withholding tax imposed by the Netherlands at a rate of 15%. Share dividends paid out of the Company’s paid-in share premium recognized for Dutch tax purposes are not subject to the abovementioned withholding tax. Share dividends paid out of the Company’s retained earnings are subject to dividend withholding tax on the nominal value of the shares issued.

Relief at source is available to certain qualifying corporate holders of common shares if such common shares are attributable to a business carried out in the Netherlands. Relief at source is available for dividend distributions to certain qualifying corporate holders of common shares resident in EU/EEA member states, and to certain qualifying corporate holders of common shares resident in non-EU/EEA states with which the Netherlands has concluded a tax treaty that includes a dividend article, unless such holder holds the common shares of the Company with the primary aim or one of the primary aims to avoid the levy of Dutch dividend withholding tax from another person and the shareholding is put in place without valid commercial reasons that reflect economic reality.

Upon request and under certain conditions, certain qualifying non-resident individual and corporate holders of common shares resident in EU/EEA member states or in a qualifying non-EU/EEA state may be eligible for a refund of Dutch dividend withholding tax to the extent that the withholding tax levied is higher than the personal and corporate income tax which would have been due if they were resident in the Netherlands.

Pursuant to the provisions of the US Tax Treaty, a reduced rate may be applicable in respect of dividends paid by the Company to a beneficial owner holding directly 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, if such owner is a company resident in the United States (as defined in the US Tax Treaty) and entitled to the benefits of the US Tax Treaty.

Pursuant to Dutch anti-dividend stripping legislation, a holder of common shares who is the recipient of dividends will generally not be considered the beneficial owner of the dividends if (i) as a consequence of a combination of transactions, a person other than the recipient benefits, in full or in part, directly or indirectly, from the dividends; (ii) whereby such other person retains, directly or indirectly, an interest similar to that in the common shares on which the dividends were paid; and (iii) that other person is entitled to a credit, reduction or refund of dividend withholding tax that is less than that of the recipient.

Dividends paid to qualifying exempt US pension trusts and qualifying exempt US organizations are, under certain conditions, exempt from Dutch withholding tax under the US Tax Treaty. Qualifying exempt US pension trusts normally remain subject to withholding at the rate of 15% and are required to file for a refund of the tax withheld. Only if certain conditions are fulfilled, such pension trusts may be eligible for relief at source upon payment of the dividend. However, for qualifying exempt US organizations no relief at source upon payment of the dividend is currently available; such exempt US organizations should apply for a refund of the 15% withholding tax withheld. Further, under certain circumstances, certain exempt organizations (e.g. pension funds) may be eligible for a refund of Dutch withholding tax upon their request pursuant to Dutch tax law. Under Dutch tax law (not yet entered into force), provided certain conditions are met, such (US) organizations may be eligible for relief at source upon request.

The Company may, with respect to certain dividends received from qualifying non-Dutch subsidiaries, credit taxes withheld from those dividends against the Dutch withholding tax imposed on certain qualifying dividends that are redistributed by the Company, up to a maximum of the lesser of:

- 3% of the amount of qualifying dividends redistributed by the Company; and
- 3% of the gross amount of certain qualifying dividends received by the Company.

The reduction is applied to the Dutch dividend withholding tax that the Company must pay to the Dutch tax authorities and not to the Dutch dividend withholding tax that the Company must withhold.

### Income and capital gains

Income and capital gains derived from the common shares by a non-resident individual or non-resident corporate shareholder are generally not subject to Dutch income or corporation tax, unless (i) such income and gains are attributable to a (deemed) permanent establishment or (deemed) permanent representative of the shareholder in the Netherlands; or (ii) the shareholder is entitled to a share in the profits of an enterprise or (in the case of a non-resident corporate shareholder only) a co-entitlement to the net worth of an enterprise that is effectively managed in the Netherlands (other than by way of securities) and to which enterprise the common shares are attributable; or (iii) such income and capital gains are derived from a direct, indirect or deemed substantial participation in the share capital of the company (such substantial participation not being a business asset), and, in the case of a non-resident corporate shareholder only, it is being held with the primary aim or one of the primary aims to avoid the levy of income tax from another person and is put in place without valid commercial reasons that reflect economic reality; or (iv) in the case of a non-resident corporate shareholder, such shareholder is a resident of Aruba, Curacao or Saint Martin with a permanent establishment or permanent representative in Bonaire, Eustatius or Saba to which the common shares are attributable and certain conditions are met; or (v) in the case of a non-resident individual, such individual derives income or capital gains from the common shares that are taxable as benefits from ‘miscellaneous activities’ in the Netherlands (resultaat uit overige werkzaamheden, as defined in the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001), which includes the performance of activities with respect to the common shares that exceed regular portfolio management.

In general, a holder of common shares has a substantial participation if he holds either directly or indirectly and either independently or jointly with his partner (as defined in the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001), the ownership of, or certain other rights over, at least 5% of the total issued share capital or total issued particular class of shares of the Company or rights to acquire direct or indirect shares, whether or not already issued, that represent at any time 5% or more of the total issued capital (or the total issued particular class of shares) or the ownership of certain profit participating certificates that relate to 5% or more of the annual profit or to 5% or more of the liquidation proceeds. A shareholder will also have a substantial participation in the Company if one or more of certain relatives of the shareholder hold a substantial participation in the Company. A deemed substantial participation amongst others exists if (part of) a substantial participation has been disposed of, or is deemed to have been disposed of, on a nonrecognition basis.

### Estate and gift taxes

No estate, inheritance or gift taxes are imposed by the Netherlands on the transfer or deemed transfer of common shares by way of gift by or on the death of a shareholder if, at the time of the death of the shareholder or the gift of the common shares (as the case may be), such shareholder is not a (deemed) resident of the Netherlands.

Inheritance or gift taxes (as the case may be) are due, however, if such shareholder:

- has Dutch nationality and has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the ten years preceding the time of their death or gift; or
- does not have Dutch nationality but has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the twelve months preceding the time of the gift (for Netherlands gift taxes only).

### United States Federal Taxation

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to a US holder (as defined below) of owning common shares. It applies only if the common shares are held as capital assets for United States federal income tax purposes. This discussion addresses only United States federal income taxation and does not discuss all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a US holder in light of its individual circumstances, including foreign, state or local tax consequences, estate and gift tax consequences, and tax consequences arising under the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or the alternative minimum tax. This section does not apply to a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

- a dealer in securities,
- a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,
- a tax-exempt organization,
- a life insurance company,
- a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the combined voting power of our voting stock or of the total value of our stock,
- a person who holds common shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,
- a person who purchases or sells common shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or
- a person whose functional currency is not the US dollar.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect, as well as on the US Tax Treaty. These laws and regulations are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

If an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds the common shares, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the common shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the common shares.

A US holder is defined as a beneficial owner of common shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes::

- a citizen or resident of the United States,
- a domestic corporation,
- an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or
- a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

A US holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of common shares in its particular circumstances.

The tax treatment of common shares will depend in part on whether or not we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes. Except as discussed below under “—PFIC Rules”, this discussion assumes that we are not classified as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes.

### Taxation of Distributions

Under the United States federal income tax laws, the gross amount of any distribution paid in stock or cash out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes), other than certain pro-rata distributions of our common shares, will be treated as a dividend that is subject to United States federal income taxation. For a non-corporate US holder, dividends paid that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that the non-corporate US holder holds the common shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and provided it meets other holding period requirements. Dividends paid with respect to the common shares generally will be qualified dividend income provided that, in the year in which the dividend is received, the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and we therefore expect that dividends will be qualified dividend income. A US holder must include any Dutch tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though it does not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to a US holder when it receives the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. For dividend payments made in euro, the amount of the dividend distribution that a US holder must include in its income will be the US dollar value of the euro payments made, determined at the spot euro/US dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution can be included in its income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into US dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date a US holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date a US holder converts the payment into US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a US holder’s basis in the common shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, US holders should expect to generally treat distributions we make as dividends.

Subject to certain limitations, the Dutch tax withheld in accordance with the US Tax Treaty and paid over to the Netherlands will be creditable or deductible against a US holder’s United States federal income tax liability. However, Dutch withholding tax may not be creditable or deductible to the extent that we reduce (as described above under “Dutch taxation - Dividend withholding tax”) the amount of withholding tax paid over to the Netherlands by crediting taxes withheld from certain dividends received by us. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the preferential tax rates. To the extent reduction or refund of the tax withheld is available under Dutch law, or under the US Tax Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that could have been reduced or that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against United States federal income tax liability. Dividends will generally be income from sources outside the United States, and will generally be “passive” income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the holder.

### Taxation of Capital Gains

A US holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its common shares will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount that it realizes and its tax basis, determined in US dollars, in its common shares. Capital gain of a non-corporate US holder is generally taxed at preferential tax rates where the holder has a holding period greater than one year. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

### Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

We believe that the common shares should currently not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes, and we do not expect to become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and thus may be subject to change. It is therefore possible that we could become a PFIC in a future taxable year. If we are treated as a PFIC, gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common shares would in general not be treated as capital gain. Instead, unless a US holder elects to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to the common shares, a US holder would generally be treated as if it had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” ratably over the holding period for the common shares and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, in addition to which an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year would apply. Any dividends received by a US holder will not be eligible for the special tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if we are treated as a PFIC with respect to such US holder either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead will be taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income and subject to the excess distribution regime described above.

# 8Environmental, Social and Governance

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) are the three key dimensions within which a company’s approach to doing business responsibly and sustainably, and its overall societal impact, are defined. They give expression to an increasingly widely held view – that companies that hold themselves accountable to their stakeholders and increase transparency will be more viable, and valuable, in the long term.

Philips is a purpose-driven company aiming to improve the health and well-being of 2.5 billion people annually by 2030. We believe that private-sector companies like ours have a vital role to play in collaborating with other partners across our supply chain, and with private and public organizations in society, to address the major challenges the world is facing.

Taking a multi-stakeholder approach, we draw inspiration from the societal impact we can have through our products and solutions, and through how we operate in the world. Our company is very conscious of our responsibility and our contribution to society and the environment.

As of this Annual Report 2020, we have chosen to align our reporting with the comprehensive and integrated Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) commitments we introduced for the period 2020-2025, with the aim of better integrating and further raising performance on the three dimensions of ESG.

## 8.1ESG reporting framework

There is not yet a single objective standard for measurement of ESG performance. Building on our long history and experience of environmental and social impact measurement and of providing transparency on governance, Philips has taken an active role – in collaboration with various organizations – to help drive the evolution towards a standard ESG reporting framework.

In 2007, Philips signed up to the United Nations Global Compact, to advance ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anticorruption. In 2017, at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, we signed the Compact for Responsive and Responsible Leadership – an initiative (initiated by WEF and Philips) to promote and align the long-term sustainability of corporations and the long-term goals of society, with an inclusive approach for all stakeholders. The WEF secured a commitment from over 140 CEOs to align their corporate values and strategies with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in January 2020, the WEF's International Business Council (IBC) launched a project to define common metrics for sustainable value creation, the aim being to improve the ways that companies measure and report on their contributions towards more prosperous, fulfilled societies and a more sustainable relationship with the planet.

In September 2020, the IBC published its core set of Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics and disclosures. These can be used by companies to align their mainstream reporting on performance against environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators and track their contributions towards the SDGs on a consistent basis. Based where possible on existing standards, the full set is comprised as follows:

• Core metrics: A set of 21 more‑established or critically important metrics and disclosures that focus primarily on activities within an organization’s own boundaries.

• Expanded metrics: A set of 34 metrics and disclosures that tend to be less well‑established in existing practice and have a wider value chain scope or convey impact in a more sophisticated or tangible way, e.g. in monetary terms.

The recommended metrics are organized under four pillars that are aligned with the SDGs and principal ESG domains: Principles of Governance, Planet, People and Prosperity. There is no intention to replace industry- or company-specific metrics (like our Lives Improved metric). Companies are encouraged to report against as many of the core and expanded metrics as they find material and appropriate, on the basis of ‘disclose or explain’.

Philips is also contributing to the IFRS Foundation’s endeavors to drive standardization of non-financial reporting.

In section 5.6 of this Annual Report 2020, we show how Philips performed in 2020 on the above-mentioned 21 Core metrics, mapped to the three dimensions of our ESG commitments, as well as a number of additional Philips-specific metrics that we consider fundamental to the strategy and operation of our business.

## 8.2Philips' ESG commitments

On September 14, 2020, Philips further reinforced its commitments as a purpose-driven company with the announcement of an enhanced and fully integrated approach to doing business responsibly and sustainably. Philips’ new framework comprises a comprehensive set of key commitments across all the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions that guide execution of the company’s strategy. It includes ambitious targets and detailed plans of action.

“As a leading health technology company today, our purpose is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation, positively impacting 2 billion lives per year by 2025,” said Frans van Houten, CEO of Philips. “We aim to grow Philips responsibly and sustainably, and we therefore continuously set ourselves challenging environmental and social targets, and live up to the highest standards of governance. Acting responsibly towards the planet and society is part of our DNA. I am convinced that this is the best way for us to create superior, long-term value for Philips’ multiple stakeholders.”

## 8.3Environmental performance

In 2016, we launched our five-year sustainability program, Healthy people, Sustainable planet, which ended in December 2020. The program addressed both social and environmental challenges and included associated targets. On September 14, 2020 we launched our ESG commitments, with ambitious targets to be achieved by the end of 2025.

Besides our social impact, focusing on SDG 3, described in the next section, we have an environmental impact through our global operations, but even more so through our products and solutions. This is where we contribute to SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) and SDG 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts).

### Environmental impact

Since 1990, Philips has been performing Life-Cycle Assessments (LCAs). These LCAs provide insight into the lifetime environmental impact of our products and are used to steer our EcoDesign efforts and to grow our Green and Circular Solutions portfolio. As a logical next step, we have measured our environmental impact on society at large via a so-called Environmental Profit & Loss (EP&L) account, which includes the hidden environmental costs associated with our activities and products. It provides insights into the main environmental hotspots and innovation areas to reduce the environmental impact of our products and solutions.

The EP&L account is based on LCA methodology, in which the environmental impacts are expressed in monetary terms using conversion factors developed by CE Delft. These conversion factors are subject to further refinement and are expected to change over time. We used expert opinions and estimates for some parts of the calculations. The figures reported are Philips’ best possible estimates. As we gain new insights and retrieve more and better data, we will enhance the methodology, use-cases and accuracy of results in the future. For more information we refer to our methodology document.

An important learning that we derived from the 2017-2019 EP&L is that, in addition to the conversion factors, the definition of the use-case scenarios also has a significant impact on the result. This is especially true of consumer products, which have large sales volumes, long lifetimes and frequently high energy consumption (e.g. haircare products and steam irons). Based on new consumer insights, we have changed use-case scenarios, and reduced, for example, the maximum wattage used and/or the daily duration of use. This resulted in a material reduction of EUR 1.16 billion on the EP&L in 2020 (and 1.74 billion on the EP&L in 2019).

Other changes we made to improve the accuracy of our environmental impact are the inclusion of our full Sleep & Respiratory Care portfolio (resulting in 13% additional impact compared to the 2019 result) and the differentiation of the energy mix of the use-phase of our products based on the region of sales. The 2020 impact would have been EUR 150 million higher if we had still used the global average energy mix for all products regardless of where the products are used.

For comparability reasons, we have also applied the new use-cases and additional Sleep & Respiratory Care products to the 2019 EP&L. The table below shows this refined EP&L impact based on 2019 sales volumes.

Philips Group

EP&L refinement

in billions of EUR unless otherwise stated

Original EP&L 2019 | 7.25
Changes | New use case scenarios for reference products | -1.74
Addition of full Sleep & Respiratory Care portfolio | +0.57
Refined EP&L 2019 | 6.08

The current EP&L account only includes the hidden environmental costs. It does not yet include the benefits to society that Philips generates by improving people’s health and well-being through our products and solutions. We have a well-established methodology to calculate the number of lives we positively touch with our products and solutions. We aim to look into valuing these societal benefits in monetary terms as well and include them in our future EP&L account.

#### Results 2020

In 2020, Philips' environmental impact amounted to EUR 4.91 billion, compared to EUR 6.08 billion in 2019 (refined from EUR 7.25 billion due to the updated use-case scenarios and addition of the full Sleep & Respiratory Care portfolio). This significant reduction was mainly driven by lower unit sales in Personal Health and by our EcoDesign efforts resulting in more energy-efficient products. The main environmental impact, 83% of the total, is related to the usage of our products, which is due to electricity consumption. Particulate matter formation, climate change, and acidification are the main environmental impacts, accounting for 43%, 27% and 18% respectively of the total impact. The environmental costs include the environmental impact of the full lifetime of the products that we put on the market in 2020, e.g. 10 years in the case of a medical system or 7 years of usage in the case of a domestic appliance. As we grow our portfolio of Green Products and Solutions, we expect the environmental impact to reduce.

Of the total 2020 impact, just EUR 135 million (3%) is directly caused by Philips’ own operations, mainly driven by outbound logistics. Compared to EUR 154 million in 2019, this is an 12% reduction, mainly due to reduced business travel (COVID-19) as well as an increased share of green electricity in our non-industrial sites.

Our supply chain currently has an environmental impact of some EUR 693 million, which is 14% of our total environmental impact. The main contributors are the electronic components, cables and steel used in our products. Through our Circular Economy and Supplier Sustainability programs we will continue to focus on reducing the environmental impact caused by the materials we source and apply in our products.

In order to deliver on our carbon neutrality commitment, we have set ambitious reduction targets. In 2018, we were the first health technology company to have its 2020-2040 targets (including the use-phase of our products) approved by the Science Based Targets initiative – a collaboration between CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) aimed at driving ambitious corporate climate action. Approval confirms that Philips’ long-term targets are in line with the level of decarbonization required to keep the global temperature increase below 2 °C. As a next step in our journey to reduce our environmental impact, and part of our ESG commitments launched in September 2020, we committed to reduce our full value chain emissions in line with a 1.5 °C global warming scenario,

### 8.3.1Green Innovation

According to research from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact research, over 4% of global CO2 emissions are caused by the Healthcare sector. Our Green Innovation – the Research & Development spend related to the development of new generations of Green Products and Solutions and Green Technologies, addressing SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) – is focused on addressing that impact.

Sustainable Innovation is the Research & Development spend related to the development of new generations of products and solutions that address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) or 12. With regard to Sustainable Innovation spend, Philips set a target of EUR 7.5 billion (cumulative) for the period 2016-2020 as part of the Healthy people, Sustainable planet program.

In 2020, Philips invested EUR 280 million in Green Innovation and some EUR 1.7 billion in Sustainable Innovation. Total Sustainable Innovation spend over the past five years amounted to EUR 7.4 billion, about 1% below the target.

Philips Group

Green Innovation per segment

in millions of EUR

#### Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Philips develops innovative diagnosis and treatment solutions that support precision diagnosis and effective, minimally invasive interventions and therapy, while respecting the limits of natural resources. Investments in Green Innovation in 2020 amounted to EUR 122 million, a significant increase compared to 2019.

All Philips Green Focal Areas are taken into account as we aim to reduce environmental impact over the total lifecycle. Energy efficiency is an area of focus, especially for our large imaging systems such as MRI. Philips also pays particular attention to enabling the upgrading of pathways, so our customers can benefit from enhancements in workflow, dose management and imaging quality with the equipment they already own. Our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses actively support a voluntary industry initiative with European trade association COCIR to improve the energy efficiency and material efficiency of medical imaging equipment, as well as lowering its hazardous substances content. Moreover, we are actively partnering with multiple leading care providers to investigate innovative ways to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare, for example by maximizing energy-efficient use of medical equipment and optimizing lifecycle value. Additionally, Philips aimed to close the loop on all large medical equipment that became available to us by the end of 2020, and to extend circular practices to all medical equipment by 2025. To achieve this target, we actively drive trade-ins in markets where de-install, trade-in and reverse logistics capabilities are in place, and build these capabilities in countries that do not yet have them.

#### Connected Care businesses

Philips’ connected health IT solutions integrate, collect, combine and deliver quality data for actionable insights to help improve access to quality care, while respecting the limits of natural resources. It is our belief that well-designed e-health solutions can reduce the travel-related carbon footprint of healthcare, increase efficiency in hospitals, and improve access to care and outcomes. This has also become apparent during the COVID-19 crisis. Green Innovation investments in 2020 amounted to EUR 51 million, a sizeable increase compared to 2019, and Green Innovation projects in 2020 delivered, among other things, new green patient monitors with lower environmental footprints, reflecting all the Philips Green Focal Areas. Energy efficiency and material reduction are the main areas of focus.

#### Personal Health businesses

The continued high level of R&D investments at our Personal Health businesses is also reflected in the Green Innovation spend, which amounted to EUR 105 million in 2020, compared with EUR 99 million in 2019. The Personal Health businesses continued their work on improving the energy efficiency of their products, closing the materials loop (e.g. by using recycled materials in products and packaging), and the voluntary phase-out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), brominated flame retardants (BFR), Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates from, among others, food contact products. Mother & Child Care introduced a reusable sterilization box for soothers and breastfeeding accessories, eliminating the need for separate packaging. In our Oral Healthcare portfolio, we have been able to achieve a 40% average packaging reduction for the Protective Clean products for US retail. In our Garment Care portfolio, we launched our first green optimal-temperature pressurized steam generator; this energy-efficient product contains recycled plastic and is free of PVC and BFR.

#### Other

The segment Other invested EUR 2 million in Green Innovation, spread over projects focused on global challenges relating to water, air, energy, food, circular economy, and access to affordable healthcare.

#### Circular economy

For a sustainable world, the transition from a linear to a circular economy is essential. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using these resources more effectively. It is a driver of innovation in the areas of material, component and product re-use, as well as new business models such as system solutions and services. At Philips, we have set ambitious targets to guide this journey. In 2016, as we launched our Healthy people, Sustainable planet program, we aimed, among other things, to generate 15% of our revenues from circular products and services, and to send zero waste to landfill in our own operations, by 2020. At the beginning of 2018, we added a pledge to take back and repurpose all the large medical systems equipment (e.g. MRI and CT scanners) that our customers are prepared to return to us, and to extend those practices across our professional portfolio by 2025. At the end of 2020, we had achieved these ambitious circular economy goals.

### 8.3.2Green Revenues

Green Revenues are generated through products and solutions that offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more Green Focal Areas - Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Circularity, and Lifetime reliability - and thereby deliver a contribution to SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns). Green Revenues increased to EUR 13.9 billion in 2020, or 71.0 % of sales (67.2% in 2019), reaching a record level for Philips and exceeding the 2020 target of 70%.

Philips Group

Green Revenues per segment

in millions of EUR unless otherwise stated

Through our EcoDesign process we aim to create products and solutions that have significantly less impact on the environment over their whole lifecycle. Overall, the most significant improvements have been in energy efficiency, although increased attention was also given to hazardous substances and recyclability in all segments in 2020, the latter driven by our Circular Economy initiatives.

#### Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

In 2020, our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses expanded their Green Products and Solutions portfolio with new Green Products - the CT Incisive, Mobile X-Ray system Zenition 50 and 70 - and with redesigns of various Green Products offering further environmental improvements such as the MR Ambition and Elition systems. These products improve patient outcomes, provide better value, and enable access to high-quality care, while reducing environmental impact. A good example is BlueSeal magnet technology, which is designed to reduce lengthy and costly disruptions in MRI practice for the MR Ambition, and help healthcare facilities transition to more productive and sustainable, almost helium-free operations. The new Green Products offer an improvement of over 10% in at least one of the Green Focal Areas compared to their predecessor products, e.g. 12-13% lower product weight for the Zenition compared to Veradius/Pulsera and 30% lower packaging weight for the CT Incisive compared to Ingenuity CT.

#### Connected Care businesses

Our Connected Care businesses continued to develop their Green Products and Solutions portfolio in 2020. Recently launched VS30 and MX850 patient monitors, EV300 and EVO ventilators and the Intrepid HeartStart monitor & defibrillator came onto the market with over 10% lower energy usage and/or product weight compared to their predecessor products. For example, energy savings for the EVO and EV300 ventilators were around 25% compared to their predecessor Trilogy 100 and 202 products.

#### Personal Health businesses

In our Personal Health businesses, the focus is on Green Products and Solutions that meet or exceed our minimum requirements in the areas of energy consumption, packaging, substances of concern, and application of recycled plastics. Green Revenues in 2020 advanced to 72% of total sales, compared to 63% in 2019. We continue to make progress in developing PVC/BFR-free products. More than 84% of our consumer product sales consist of PVC/BFR-free products, with the exception of power cords, for which there are not yet economically viable alternatives available. In our coffee portfolio we launched the Senseo Viva Café Eco, with over 75% recycled content in non-food-contact plastic parts. in our Kitchen Appliances portfolio, we stepped up the application of recycled plastic for our Eole and Viva/Bond Airfryers, switching over from virgin plastic to recycled plastic for the internal housing parts.

### 8.3.3Sustainable Operations

Philips’ Sustainable Operations programs focus on the main contributors to climate change, recycling of waste, reduction of water consumption, and reduction of emissions.

#### Carbon footprint and energy efficiency

At Philips, we see climate change as a serious threat. Therefore, we are taking action to rethink our business models and decouple economic growth from the impact we have on the environment. We believe large corporates should lead the transition to a low-carbon economy. This will not only benefit the environment, but will also positively impact social and economic aspects.

During the COP 21 United Nations Climate Conference in Paris in 2015, we committed to become carbon-neutral in our operations, pursue all efforts to reduce our operational emissions, source all our electricity from 100% renewable sources, and to offset all unavoidable emissions by year-end 2020. We are proud to confirm that as of 2020, Philips is carbon-neutral in its operations. We delivered on this commitment as a result of a comprehensive program that included energy-efficiency improvements, on-site renewables, Power Purchase Agreements, but also business travel reduction and transport mode shifts to low-carbon emitting alternatives, and finally a carbon offset program.

We are proud that our efforts are acknowledged by the CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project), a global NGO that assesses the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission performance and management of reporting companies. In 2020, we were ranked on the CDP Climate Change 'A' List for our continued climate performance and transparency for the eighth year in a row.

Having achieved our 2020 carbon neutrality target, we have raised the bar and set ambitious emission reduction targets to ensure we help limit the impact of global warming, not only in our operations, but throughout our value chain – collaborating with suppliers and customers to amplify our impact. That is why Philips has set new long-term emission reduction targets, which have been assessed and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – locking down our commitment to drive climate action across the value chain and ensuring that we contribute to the decarbonization required to keep the global temperature increase well below 1.5 °C.

In 2020, our net operational carbon footprint resulted in zero kilotonnes carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2-e), mainly driven by increased use of electricity from renewable sources, a significant reduction in air travel due to COVID-19, and a reduction in air freight, notwithstanding emergency flights with respiratory and other equipment for hospitals during the COVID-19 crisis. A total of 535 kilotonnes carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2-e) were compensated via carbon offsets.

Philips reports all its emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP).

Philips Group

Net operational carbon footprint

in kilotonnes CO2 -equivalent

In 2020, our operational carbon intensity (in tonnes CO2e/EUR million sales) improved by 24%, even as our company recorded 2.5% comparable sales growth*). This excludes the acquired carbon offsets.

In our sites we achieved significant reductions in our scope 2 (indirect) emissions, mainly driven by an increase in global renewable electricity share from 95% in 2019 to 100% in 2020. All our US operations were already powered by renewable electricity from the Los Mirasoles wind farm. Then, in 2019, the Krammer and Bouwdokken wind farms in the Dutch province of Zeeland, with which we closed long-term contracts through our renewable electricity purchasing consortium with Nouryon, DSM and Google, powered all our operations in the Netherlands. Combined with the Los Mirasoles wind farm, this covers some 50% of our total electricity demand. Combined with the achieved energy reductions, this led to a 28% reduction in emissions from our energy consumption (scope 1 and scope 2 market-based) in 2020 compared to 2019.

In December 2020, Philips announced its next Power Purchase Agreement, again in a purchasing consortium with Heineken, Nouryon and Signify, to power most of the remaining European sites with renewable electricity.

Our business travel emissions, covering emissions from air travel, lease cars and rental cars, decreased by 54% compared to 2019. We recorded a 78% reduction in our air travel emissions, mainly as a result of COVID-19 and our 'Travel less, travel smarter' campaign. This campaign was initiated to further reduce our business travel emissions by installing more online collaboration rooms as an alternative to travel, stimulating behavioral change via our Global Connect Challenge, and promoting alternative modes of transport. In addition to the emission reduction in air travel, emissions from our lease car fleet decreased by 11%, mainly due to COVID-19 and the working-from-home protocol, partially mitigated by an increase in fleet size. Emissions resulting from rental cars decreased by 54% compared to 2019.

In 2020, we recorded a 15% decrease in emissions in our overall logistics operations compared to 2019. We reduced overall emissions from air freight by 6%. Emissions from ocean freight reduced by 47%, mainly as a result of improved data insights, allowing us to more accurately quantify our ocean freight emissions. Emissions from parcel shipments decreased by 1% as we shipped more parcels, but over a shorter distance compared to previous years. Emissions from road transport decreased by 12%, mainly driven by a decreased demand for Personal Health products in the first half year of 2020. We continued to make transport mode shifts to low-carbon alternatives, but departed from this while addressing the significant and urgent increase in demand for respiratory and other healthcare equipment during the COVID-19 crisis.

Although reduction is key to achieving carbon neutrality, unavoidable carbon emissions required offsetting in order to gradually drive down our emissions to zero by year-end 2020. We did this by financing projects in emerging regions that have a strong link with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns). In 2020, we increased offsets to 535 kilotonnes, equivalent to the annual uptake of approximately 16 million medium-sized oak trees. This covers the total emissions of our entire operations, covering all sites, all business travel and all logistics flows. We do this by financing carbon reduction projects in emerging regions that drive social, economic and additional environmental progress for the local communities, such as:

##### Providing access to safe drinking water while reducing wood consumption

These carbon-emission reduction projects will provide millions of liters of safe drinking water in Uganda and Ethiopia and will reduce the mortality risk from water-borne diseases. Additionally, less wood will be required for boiling water, leading to less indoor air pollution and slowing down the deforestation rate. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the Gold Standard.

##### Fighting against respiratory diseases and deforestation by means of clean cookstoves

By financing highly efficient cookstoves in Kenya and Uganda, less wood will be required for cooking, leading to lower carbon emissions, a reduction in diseases caused by indoor air pollution, and a lower deforestation rate in these regions. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the Gold Standard.

##### Providing access to clean energy while improving health and education

This project will reduce the demand-supply gap in the Dewas region of India and will provide renewable energy to more than 50,000 households. The project will also provide a mobile medical unit in 24 villages, giving diagnosis and medicines free of charge twice a month. Additional funding will be provided for educational programs and improved sanitation facilities in five local schools in order to maximize the social impact. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the Gold Standard.

#### Water

Philips is not a water-intense company. However, a number of our manufacturing sites are located in water-stressed regions in, for example, India. Total water intake in 2020 was 777,476 m3, a 13% reduction compared to 2019. The government-mandated lockdowns and the working-from-home protocol resulted in a significant reduction in water intake at several sites. Personal Health, which consumes 48% of total water usage, recorded a 16% decrease. The decrease was mainly due to fewer employees working on the sites and production volume decreases at water-intensive manufacturing sites in Asia. Diagnosis & Treatment showed a decrease of 3%, mainly caused by the working-from-home protocol, partially mitigated by the installation of a water-intense technology on a site in North America. Connected Care showed a decrease of 23%, notwithstanding a significant volume ramp-up, due to changes in the organizational footprint and the working-from-home protocol.

In 2020, 99.8% of water was purchased and 0.2% was extracted from groundwater wells.

#### Waste

In 2020, our manufacturing sites generated 35.5 kilotonnes of waste, an increase of 34% compared to 2019, mainly driven by construction activities in different locations across the globe. The Diagnosis & Treatment businesses increased their waste by 103% as a result of various construction activities in Asia and Europe and increased production, now constituting 56% of total waste. Connected Care decreased by 15% due to operational changes and the working-from-home protocol, notwithstanding a sizable production ramp-up; Personal Health decreased by 3% due to operational changes and increased production, now constituting 35% of total waste.

Total waste consists of waste that is delivered for landfill, incineration, waste to energy or recycling. Our sites addressed both the recycling percentage as well as waste sent to landfill as part of the Healthy people, Sustainable planet 2016-2020 program. Materials delivered for recycling via an external contractor amounted to 31.9 kilotonnes, which equals 90% of total waste, a significant improvement compared to 83% in 2019. Philips thereby achieved its 2020 recycling target.

Of the 10% remaining (not recycled) waste, 78% comprised non-hazardous waste and 22% hazardous waste. Our Zero Waste to Landfill KPI excludes one-time-only waste and waste delivered to landfill due to regulatory requirements. According to this definition, in 2020 we reported 0.5 kilotonnes of waste sent to landfill, a reduction of 39% compared to 2019. All our 32 industrial sites achieved Zero Waste to Landfill status by the end of 2020.

Philips included reduction targets for the substances that are most relevant for its businesses in its Healthy people, Sustainable planet 2016-2020 program. In order to provide comparable information at Group level, please find below a summary of the emissions of the formerly targeted substances. Emissions of restricted substances were again zero in 2020. The level of emissions of hazardous substances decreased from 2,521 kilos in 2019 to 616 kilos in 2020 (-76%), mainly driven by the significant reduction in styrene emissions in the Personal Health businesses.

### 8.3.4Supplier indicators

Philips’ purpose to improve people’s health and well-being extends throughout our value chain. At Philips, we have a direct business relationship with approximately 3,300 product and component suppliers and 16,000 service providers. Our supply chain sustainability strategy is updated annually through a structured process, combined with dedicated multi-stakeholder dialogues. Our most recent stakeholder dialogue took place in June 2019. From this, we have developed multiple programs aimed at driving sustainable improvement. These programs cover compliance with our policies, improvement of our suppliers’ sustainability performance, our approach towards responsible sourcing of minerals, and reducing the environmental impact of our supply base.

#### Supplier sustainability compliance

Two core policy documents form the basis of our supplier sustainability compliance approach: the Supplier Sustainability Declaration and the Regulated Substances List.

###### Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD)

The SSD sets out the standards and behaviors Philips requires from its suppliers. The SSD is based on the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct, in alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and key international human rights standards, including the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It covers topics such as Labor, Health & Safety, Environment, Ethics, and Management Systems.

###### Regulated Substances List (RSL)

The RSL specifies the chemical substances regulated by legislation. Suppliers are required to follow all the requirements stated in the RSL. Substances are marked as restricted or declarable.

All suppliers are required to commit to the SSD and RSL. Through integration of a Sustainability Agreement (SA) in our General Purchase Agreement, suppliers declare compliance to both the SSD and RSL. Upon request, they provide additional information and evidence.

#### Supplier Sustainability Performance (SSP) - 'Beyond Auditing'

In 2016, Philips moved away from its traditional approach to audit suppliers, which it had been taking since 2004. Insights from data analysis showed this old approach was insufficient to drive sustainable improvements. Our SSP approach, first piloted in 2016, focuses on:

- a systematic approach to improve the sustainability of our supply chain
- continuous improvement against a set of recognized and global references
- collaboration, increased transparency, clear commitments, and ensuring suppliers meet the agreed targets
- encouraging our suppliers, industry peers and cross-industry peers to adopt our approach

This systematic approach is shown in the figure below and is a high-level representation of the SSP program.

First, a set of references, international standards and Philips requirements are used to develop the Frame of Reference, which covers management systems, environment, health & safety, business ethics and human rights. For each, the maturity level of suppliers is identified in the Program Execution Wheel, which assesses suppliers against the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle. Suppliers are then categorized through the Supplier Classification model, which differentiates on the basis of supplier maturity, resulting in supplier-specific proposals for improvement. The SSP process is monitored and adjusted through continuous feedback loops. The outcome of the SSP assessment is a supplier sustainability score ranging from 0 to 100. This score is based on supplier performance in environmental management, health & safety, business ethics, and human rights.

##### Supplier classification

Supplier selection for the program is initially based on criticality, which is determined through an assessment of the supplier’s associated risks and opportunities, such as strategic importance and annual spend. After this, the engagement strategy is tailored based on the current performance in terms of sustainability.

There are four different engagement approaches: BiC (Best in Class), SSIP (Supplier Sustainability Improvement Plan), DIY (Do It Yourself) and PZT (Potential Zero Tolerance). The PZT status is a temporary status and requires immediate attention and action. Depending on the categorization, suppliers are engaged in different ways to improve their sustainability performance.

If a (Potential) Zero Tolerance is identified, immediate action is taken. If the requested additional information and evidence lead to the conclusion that there is no structural Zero Tolerance, the supplier’s status will be changed and the supplier will go back to the original track in the program. If the conclusion gives rise to a structural Zero Tolerance, the supplier is required to:

- propose a plan to mitigate and/or resolve the identified Zero Tolerance(s)
- commit to structurally resolving the Zero Tolerance
- provide regular updates and evidence
- avoid quick-fixing

Philips defines six Zero Tolerances:

- Fake or falsified records
- Child and/or forced labor
- Immediate threats to the environment
- Immediate threats to worker health and safety
- Failure to comply with regulatory and/or Philips requirements
- Workers’ monthly income (covering salary for regular hours and overtime, tax deductions, social insurance) failing to meet regulatory requirements

For more details on the SSP process, refer to the SSP brochure.

##### Our 2020 results

In 2020, eight zero tolerances were found across the following categories: health and safety, remuneration, and environmental impact. Most cases related to fire safety risks at our suppliers. Four of the eight cases were successfully closed in 2020. The remaining are still pending closure, while having active mitigation plans in place.

Philips measures the impact of SSP engagements through the number of lives improved in the supply chain. This is derived from the improvements that suppliers make in their performance. To determine improvements, we calculate the pro rata change in performance from one year to the next.

In 2020, the overall year-on-year improvement in performance is 36% for suppliers that entered the program in 2019. The number of employees impacted at suppliers participating in the SSP program was approximately 302,000. For those workers, labor conditions improved, the risk of serious injury reduced, and the negative environmental impact of suppliers was brought down. For a detailed break-down of percentage improvements realized in the past year, refer to the table below.

Topics | Policy | Procedures | Implementation | Management Responsibility | Communication | Risk control | Target Setting &Tracking | Corrective action approach | Supplier management
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Environment | 6% | 10% | 15% | 8% | 10% | 11% | 11% | 8% | 5%
Health and Safety | 3% | 11% | 21% | 8% | 8% | 11% | 9% | 14% | 6%
Business Ethics | 1% | 8% | 8% | (8)% | 5% | 7% | 23% | 2% | 1%
Human Capital | 6% | 6% | 21% | 12% | 10% | 12% | 14% | 18% | 3%

Categories which showed the biggest improvement are:

- Implementation of Health & Safety measures: improving consistent use of personal protective equipment, implementation of fire safety measures, and implementation of machine safety measures
- Implementation of Human capital measures: improving fair remuneration, working hours, and management of third-party labor providers
- Target setting and tracking of Business Ethics topics: improving periodic evaluations of grievance mechanisms, setting targets on complaints resolving, and progress reporting mechanisms

In 2020, 20 suppliers were added to the SSP program. Of the population of suppliers that entered the program in the years before 2020, 237 suppliers were still active in 2020.

As part of the 2020 adoption of our new ESG commitments, we have set the target to improve the lives of 1 million workers in our supply chain by 2025. To achieve this, a significant ramp-up is required in the coming years.

##### Additional progress made in 2020

Apart from the inclusion of additional suppliers annually into the award-winning SSP program, Philips is actively applying the latest insights in data science and machine learning methods to make the SSP program more efficient in determining the sustainability maturity of suppliers, while also increasing the effectiveness of our supplier improvement approach.

In 2020, a machine learning tool was developed, which is able to predict expert scorings on detailed pieces of evidence, thereby reducing the time spent on assessments. This leaves more room for experts to support suppliers in their capability building, by sharing best practices and creating business cases that enable improvements.

In addition, Philips launched its newly developed SSP IT platform, which fully supports the entire engagement process, from onboarding to data analysis. It is set up in such a way that other companies can easily start using the system for their own supplier engagements. The program design also enables various codes of conduct to be included. Through public speaking engagements and 1-on-1 conversations with cross-industry peers, Philips is making the methodology available to other companies that want to make a sustainable impact in their supply chain.

#### Responsible Sourcing of Minerals

The supply chains for minerals are long and complex. Philips does not source minerals directly from mines as there are typically 7+ tiers between end-user companies like Philips and the mines where the minerals are extracted. The extraction of minerals can take place in conflict-affected and high-risk regions, where mining is often informal and unregulated and carried out at artisanal small-scale mines (ASM). These ASMs are vulnerable to exploitation by armed groups and local traders. Within this context, there is an increased risk of severe human rights violations (forced labor, child labor or widespread sexual violence), unsafe working conditions or environmental concerns.

Philips addresses the complexities of the minerals supply chains through a continuous due diligence process, combined with active participation in multi-stakeholder initiatives to promote the responsible sourcing of minerals.

##### Conflict minerals due diligence

Each year, Philips investigates its supply chain to identify smelters of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold in its supply chain and we have committed to not purchasing raw materials, sub-assemblies, or supplies found to contain conflict minerals.

Philips applies collective cross-industry leverage through active engagement via the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI, formerly known as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI)). RMI identifies smelters that can demonstrate, through an independent third-party audit, that the minerals they procure are conflict-free. In 2020, Philips continued to actively direct its supply chain towards these smelters.

The Philips Conflict Minerals Due Diligence framework, measures and outcomes are described in the Conflict Minerals Report that we file annually to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The conflict minerals report is also publicly available on Philips’ website.

Each year, we work with our suppliers on the quality of their due diligence reporting by setting minimum criteria for the Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRT). In addition, we strive to reduce the number of non-identified smelters. The quality of the CMRTs remained the same as the 2019 due diligence results, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of non-listed smelters continued to decline, reaching zero for the first time in our program history (2019: 3).

Philips Group

Conflict Minerals Due Diligence results

Key performance indicator | 2018 | 2019 | 2020
--- | --- | --- | ---
Response rate of suppliers | 95% | 100% | 99%
CMRTs that satisfied minimum acceptance criteria | 83% | 86% | 86%
Non-listed smelters in our supply chain | 5 | 3 | 0

###### Cobalt

In 2020, Philips expanded the scope of its due diligence program to include cobalt as a new material. We use cobalt predominantly in lithium-ion batteries. As part of this expansion, we engaged suppliers that provide materials containing cobalt. In 2020, we reached a 100% response rate. In addition, we performed smelter outreach on several occasions. Where appropriate, we worked with direct suppliers to facilitate alternative sourcing.

###### Women’s empowerment through access to credits and savings in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Women represent 45 to 50% of the artisanal small-scale mining workforce. Studies have shown that they often struggle to access formal credit and savings. When they can get credit they often have to accept unfavorable repayment terms, otherwise they have to depend on informal financial practices. The Artisanal Mining Women’s Empowerment Credit & Savings project addressed this issue by supporting the creation of village savings and loans associations for women and men in artisanal gold mining communities, in an effort to promote entrepreneurship and economic security.

In contrast to microfinance institutions, the interest paid on credit go back into the communal fund so members see their savings increase over time. The project also facilitated sensitization on gender equality and led to discussions with female members of associations and their partners about household finances, challenging traditional stereotypes and gender roles. The project provided financial literacy training to women who access credit from their association, to undertake new entrepreneurial activities around mine sites

###### Making due diligence activities more efficient and effective for miners in Bolivia and Burkina Faso

The CADD Project consists of the development and pilot deployment of an open-source, public framework for upstream supply chain stakeholders to operationalize requirements from the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Such a framework is an essential implementation mechanism for companies operating in, and procuring from countries covered by European regulation 2017/821 where no upstream due diligence program is established. It provides a solution to systemic constraints on upstream due diligence scalability, sustainability, accountability and reliability — the most significant challenge to responsible mineral procurement globally.

Mining and mineral trade operators in countries covered by EU regulation are enabled to secure compliant access to international markets while minimizing due diligence costs. This in turn is expected to boost due diligence uptake by upstream operators and incentivize formal trade — an important step towards improving the socio-economic conditions of artisanal small-scale mining communities in conflict-affected and high-risk areas

##### Multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals

We believe that multi-stakeholder collaboration in the responsible sourcing of minerals is the most viable approach for addressing the complexities of minerals value chains.

###### European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM)

Philips is a founding partner of EPRM and has been a strategic member since its inception in May 2016. EPRM is a multi-stakeholder partnership between governments, companies, and civil society actors working toward more sustainable minerals supply chains. The goal of EPRM is to create better social and economic conditions for mine workers and local mining communities by increasing the number of mines that adopt responsible mining practices in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs).

EPRM is an accompanying measure to the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation dedicated to making real change ‘on the ground’. Through EPRM, Philips financially supports activities to improve responsible mining practices in mining areas in CAHRAs and shares our knowledge and practice in conducting due diligence. Since 2018, Philips has actively participated in a working group focused on making the on-the-ground projects financially and strategically effective. From here, the call for new proposals was developed, decisions on co-funding were made, and criteria for scale-up potential were created.

Since January 2019, Philips has been an active board member in EPRM, taking the seat of vice-chair by representing the industrials pillar.

###### IRBC Responsible Gold Agreement

In June 2017 Philips signed the Responsible Gold Agreement, joining a coalition to work on improving international responsible business conduct across the gold value chain. Signees include goldsmiths, jewelers, recyclers, NGOs, electronics companies, trade unions, and the Dutch government. This partnership intends to bring about cooperation between companies, government, trade unions, and NGOs to prevent abuses within production chains. From September 2019, Philips represents gold and precious metal, recycling, and electronic companies in the steering committee of the Responsible Gold Agreement. From this partnership, Philips co-developed a project with several other parties including civil society actors, to facilitate sourcing of responsible gold from Uganda. The project is aimed specifically at artisanal and small-scale mines (ASM) and works to establish a sustainable, traceable gold supply chain with improved working conditions for miners and free of child labor. The approach is designed to be scaled up and serves as a potential blueprint for mines in other regions. Since 2019, Philips is also an active member of the steering committee of the Responsible Gold Agreement.

#### Green supply chain program

Since 2003, Philips has looked at ways to improve the environmental performance of its suppliers. When it comes to climate change, we have adopted a multi-pronged approach: reducing the environmental impact of our products, committing to carbon neutrality in our own operations, and engaging with our supply chain to reduce their carbon footprint. Through our partnership with the CDP supply chain program, Philips motivates its suppliers to disclose emissions, embed board responsibility on climate change, and actively work on reduction activities.

Since 2011 we have been partnering with the CDP Supply Chain, through which we invite suppliers to disclose their environmental performance and carbon intensity. This year, there was a response rate of 92% (2019: 80%).

Philips Group

Supplier response rate to CDP questionnaire

| 2018 | 2019 | 2020
--- | --- | --- | ---
| 77% | 80% | 92%

From this group, 61% engaged in emission reduction initiatives (2019: 66%). In addition, 61% committed to carbon emission targets (2019: 59%). Furthermore, 43% of the responding suppliers have set science-based targets of which 31% was have been formally approved. Our suppliers undertook projects in 2020 that resulted in savings on carbon emissions amounting to 17 million metric tonnes CO2.

As part of 2020 adoption of our new ESG commitments, we have set the target to actively engage 80% of our supply base to:

1. disclose scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions annually
2. implement de-carbonization strategies in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement

## 8.4Social performance

Our people strategy supports a constantly evolving workforce, capable of delivering strong business performance and executing our strategy. As such, we focus on our Workforce of the Future and our deep commitment to Inclusion & Diversity, supported by our culture.

### 8.4.1Improving people’s lives

At Philips, it is our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. We aim to improve the lives of 2.5 billion people a year by 2030.

To guide our efforts and measure our progress, we take an integrated approach. Products or solutions from our portfolio that directly support the curative or preventive side of people’s health determine the contribution to the social dimension. This is also our contribution to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages). As healthy ecosystems are also needed for people to live a healthy life, the contribution to the ecological dimension is determined by means of our steadily growing Green Products and Solutions portfolio, such as the energy-efficient products in our Personal Health businesses. This is our contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) and SDG 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts).

Philips improved 1.75 billion lives in 2020, an increase of around 110 million compared to 2019, driven by all segments, mainly in China, the ASEAN countries, North America and the Indian Subcontinent. Through Philips products and solutions that support people’s health and well-being, we improved the lives of 1.53 billion people in 2020 (2019: 1.54 billion), mainly driven by Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care businesses. Our Green Products and Solutions that support a healthy ecosystem contributed 1.19 billion lives (2019: 1.07 billion). After the elimination of double counts – people touched multiple times – we arrived at 1.75 billion lives improved.

In 2019, Philips extended its commitment to improve the lives of people in underserved communities to 400 million by 2030. Philips thereby recognized the often critical needs of women and children in many communities, but also the added burden arising from the increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in communities already struggling without adequate access to healthcare. To monitor progress on this extended commitment, we track lives improved in underserved communities. In 2020 our health and well-being solutions improved the lives of 207 million people in underserved markets (an increase of 13 million compared to 2019).

Following the launch of our ESG commitments in September 2020, we will also change the definition of Lives Improved with effect from 2021, to be aligned with our purpose. The new definition will only include products or solutions that contribute to people’s health and well-being.

#### Lives Improved per market

The following table shows the number of Lives Improved per market.

### 8.4.2Workforce of the Future

The challenges presented by the fast-evolving industry landscape demand a networked organization, in which cross-functional teams actively draw on resources across the organization and across the world. Our focus on the Workforce of the Future helps us to attract, develop and retain a workforce that will deliver the strategic capabilities we need to win.

By applying Strategic Workforce Planning, in close alignment with the strategic planning of our businesses, we identify and develop the employee capabilities needed to realize our ambitions as a health technology company. In 2020 we implemented company-wide initiatives to retain and staff our most strategic positions with top performers. At the end of 2020 we had retained 94% of these employees and staffed 49% of our strategic positions with employees who are considered to be top performers. Key drivers of this are our internal development focus, leadership programs and our focused talent search services.

We have continued to embed our Total Workforce Strategy – looking at all sources, channels and locations for skills and capabilities, including employees, contingent workers, freelancers and services. Talent Acquisition has deployed our Right Shoring & Right Sourcing methodology into every business segment and multiple functions. In addition, we are now attracting 42% of our freelancers via our Careers site and building talent pools in US, Germany and the Netherlands.

We continued to devote additional attention to our campus, graduate and early-career hiring in 2020, which resulted in an increase of 29% in the number of campus hires compared to 2019, despite the impact of the pandemic. Our focus on the Workforce of the Future continues in 2021, with emphasis on strategic capabilities.

### 8.4.3Inclusion & Diversity

To be able to understand and meet customer and patient needs in a complex and continually changing environment, our workforce should reflect the society in which we operate, our customers, and the markets we serve. We believe that an inclusive culture allows our 120-plus nationalities to bring a rich diversity of capabilities, opinions and perspectives to our decision-making processes, thus driving innovation, enabling faster, targeted responses to market changes, and supporting sustainable improvements in team- and business performance.

Driving Inclusion & Diversity, Philips has set a new goal of 30% gender diversity in senior leadership positions (a subset of Management and Executive positions) by the end of 2025, up from the 2020 target of 25% that we met before the end of 2020. This is part of our reinforced commitments as a purpose-driven company. A company-wide training on unconscious bias awareness is part of the long-term program to create an ongoing dialogue in teams that will help us build and foster that inclusive environment.

Philips has also deployed a range of programs to support the health and well-being of its employees, including a global employee assistance program aimed at helping employees with urgent needs. When COVID-19 emerged, Philips provided support in this area without losing sight of longer-term needs, such as a healthy work-life balance, stress management, resilience and prevention of mental health issues.

With regard to appointment and promotion opportunities, we transparently share open positions and endeavor to attract candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds, resulting in a 50/50 hiring ratio when we recruit externally. We increased the number of women in senior positions for the third consecutive year.

Our Inclusion & Diversity scores steadily increased to 39% at year-end, surpassing the global high-performance levels for the first time in the last two years. The number of awards won in 2020 – including appearances on Forbes Best Employers lists for both Women and Diversity, and Financial Times Diversity Leader 2021 – reflect the progress Philips has made in this important area.

Philips Group

Gender diversity

in %

Overall gender diversity increased one percentage point to 39% in 2020 whilst gender diversity among Executives increased from 22% to 24% female executives. Philips employed 27% females in leadership positions, exceeding our 2020 goal of 25% gender diversity in leadership positions.

### 8.4.4Our culture

As we continue our transformation into a focused leader in health technology – shifting from products to solutions and building long-term relationships with our customers – we foster a culture within Philips that will help us achieve operational excellence and extend our solutions capability to address our customers’ unmet needs.

All Philips employees are expected to commit to living our behaviors – Customers first, Quality and integrity always, Team up to win, Take ownership to deliver fast, and Eager to improve and inspire – every step of the way.

Putting our customers first is at the heart of everything we do. Only by engaging deeply with our customers can we understand their unmet needs and deliver superior value. We are also conscious at all times of the high-stakes environment in which we operate. This environment demands that we apply the highest quality and integrity standards – always. To deliver superior value to our customers and ensure quality and integrity, we team up and leverage the skills, capabilities and expertise right across Philips. At the same time, we all need to take personal ownership, enabling us to move with speed and agility, and deliver what we promise, on time. And by applying operational excellence and Lean ways of working, we will keep improving, inspiring each other through the work we do.

We staff our positions based on assessed behavior, potential and capabilities. In 2020, we filled 74% of our Director-level and more senior positions from within the company. For these internal hires, we ensure our candidates are high performers with strong potential. In 2020, 84% of all internal promotions to Director level and more senior positions were realized by appointing top performers. We supplement this internal growth with targeted external hiring, bringing in employees with the behaviors and capabilities we require for our Workforce of the Future.

### 8.4.5Employee engagement

In times like these, with the pandemic continuing to impact our lives, it is key that our people feel connected and actively listen to each other. High employee engagement is pivotal to the success of our strategy. Our employee survey consistently reports that our employee engagement is on the rise and well exceeding the global high-performance norm of 71%. Our average engagement score for 2020 was 79%, driven by our people feeling proud to live our company purpose, being optimistic about the future of Philips, and energized to contribute with their work.

Neutral | 17% | 17% | 14%
Unfavorable | 9% | 9% | 7%

Our quarterly employee surveys help to keep our finger on the pulse of employee sentiment toward the company. We listen to employees’ ideas for improvement, show employees that their feedback is valued, and work to ensure that every person in our company has a role to play in creating lasting value for our customers, shareholders, and other stakeholders.

At Philips, we believe we perform at our best when we feel connected and supported. In these extraordinary circumstances in 2020, we listened actively to our employees to provide them with greater clarity of direction and increased autonomy and flexibility to deal with various work situations. Moreover, we strengthened our Health & Well-being programs, which are designed to engage our employees, help them to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and achieve a better work/life balance.

### 8.4.6Employment

#### Employee turnover

In 2020, employee turnover amounted to 14.0%, of which 7.3% was voluntary, compared to 15.0% (8.6% voluntary) in 2019. External benchmarks show that our voluntary employee turnover remains well below similar-sized companies, and that we are reasonably successful in retaining our employees.

With our focus on increasing gender diversity in leadership positions, voluntary female executive turnover decreased from 4.2% in 2019 to 3.8% in 2020.

### 8.4.7Equal opportunities and equal pay

Although Philips has undertaken regular pay analysis at country level, in 2020 we took this to the next stage to gain a globally recognized Certification in Gender Equality. We are working with an independent, external company who analyze our workforce analytical data, HR policies and practices, to holistically target areas both in our systems and processes to ensure gender equity in support of our ambition to build and foster a culture of inclusion.

We started with a pilot in the Netherlands to assess and learn from the audit, which gives us a strong baseline to develop a global framework that benefits all. As part of the Certification, we make an Action Plan to concentrate on areas for development and continue to conduct yearly pay gap assessments, by using a regression analysis and systematically checking the need for corrective measures. For Philips to be continually certified, we have to show tangible evidence that we have completed our Action Plan, and make further improvements on our focus areas that are brought to the surface by the Gender Equality audit.

We will also pro-actively communicate about the organization’s commitment to ensure gender equity including gender pay equity.

### 8.4.8Living wage

Philips can only achieve its aim to improve the lives of 2.5 billion people per year by 2030 if we support and empower our people, so they can be their best and perform effectively. To this end, we conducted a living wage analysis on the lowest salaries in every country in which we currently operate.

The living wage is a concept defined by Anker and Anker (2017) as “Remuneration received by a worker in a particular place sufficient to afford a decent standard of living for the worker and her or his family. Elements of a decent standard of living include food, water, housing, education, health care, transport, clothing, and other essential needs, including provision for unexpected events”. To develop living wage standards that are complete and have a reliable geographical scope, we combined forces with Valuing Nature, several local NGOs, WageIndicator and other global corporates.

In 2019, we conducted our first analysis of salaries and benefits for employees globally with respect to the living wage. This analysis covered 78 countries and we identified 31 employees in one country for whom wages and benefits were slightly below the defined living wage. Based on these results, our local HR teams made relevant adjustments for the year 2020.

In 2020, we performed the same analysis with the updated living wage data from WageIndicator. This time, all wages and benefits were above the defined living wage levels in all 78 countries.

### 8.4.9Health and Safety

The COVID-19 global pandemic significantly affected Philips’ global operations in many ways including government-mandated lockdowns, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supply chain shortages, travel restrictions, and most importantly ensuring employee health and safety whilst maintaining critical operational commitments. Philips responded by developing a Triple Duty of Care strategy: continuing to fulfill critical customer needs, ensuring the health and safety of employees, and ensuring business continuity. A Group Crisis Operations Team and local Crisis Management Teams were activated to provide a global integrated response. This enabled Philips to disseminate a centralized and consistent message for every employee, regardless of market, business or location. A COVID-19 intranet site with guidance and information was set up and received over 128,000 hits in 2020.

Working as a team across all functions, Philips was able to maintain manufacturing operations (and in some cases significantly increase output) and also ensure support for our customers, including frontline hospitals, to minimize interruption to key service and support activities. During 2020, approximately 1,800 Philips employees were infected by the COVID-19 virus. Whilst most infections were of mild severity, there were unfortunately some more severe outcomes, including a small number of fatalities. However, less than 1% of contamination cases and none of the fatalities resulted from infections acquired during workplace activities.

Unfortunately, one Philips employee was fatally injured in a road traffic accident in India in 2020. This happened when company transport taking employees home after a shift was involved in an accident during bad weather.

At Philips, we strive for an injury-free and illness-free work environment. Since 2016, the Total Recordable Cases (TRC) rate has been defined as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI). A TRC is a case where an injured employee is unable to work for one or more days, has medical treatment, or sustains an industrial illness. We set yearly TRC targets for the company, businesses and industrial sites.

We recorded 185 TRCs in 2020, a 17% decrease compared to 224 in 2019. While our workforce continued to expand in 2020, the TRC rate decreased from 0.30 per hundred FTEs in 2019 to 0.24 in 2020.

In 2020 we recorded 98 Lost Workday Injury Cases (LWIC). These are occupational injury cases where an injured person is unable to work for one or more days after the injury. This represents a 5% decrease compared with 103 in 2019. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.13 per 100 FTEs in 2020, compared with 0.14 in 2019. The number of Lost Workdays caused by injuries decreased by 1,845 days (40%) to 2,788 days in 2020.

### 8.4.10Philips Foundation

Stichting Philips Foundation, an independent foundation organized under Dutch law, is a registered charity established in 2014. In 2020, Royal Philips supported the Philips Foundation with a contribution of EUR 6.7 million, and provided the operating staff as well as the expert assistance of skilled employees in the execution of the Foundation’s programs.

The Philips Foundation’s mission is to reduce healthcare inequality by providing access to quality healthcare for disadvantaged communities. It does this through the provision and application of Philips’ healthcare expertise, innovation power, talent and resources and by financial support. Together with key partners around the globe (including respected NGOs such as Red Cross organizations, UNICEF, Amref and Save the Children), the Philips Foundation seeks to identify challenges where a combination of Philips expertise and partner experience can be used to create meaningful solutions that have an impact on people’s lives.

### 8.4.11Working with stakeholders

In organizing ourselves around customers and markets, we conduct dialogues with our stakeholders in order to explore common ground for addressing societal challenges, building partnerships and jointly developing supporting ecosystems for our innovations around the world.

## 8.5Governance

### 8.5.1Corporate governance structure

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips), a company organized under Dutch law, is the parent company of the Philips group. Its shares have been listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange (Euronext Amsterdam) since 1912. Furthermore, its shares have been traded in the United States since 1962 and have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1987.

Royal Philips has a two-tier board structure consisting of a Board of Management and a Supervisory Board, each of which is accountable to the General Meeting of Shareholders for the fulfillment of its respective duties.

The company is governed by Dutch corporate and securities laws, its Articles of Association, and the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee and of the Supervisory Board respectively. Its corporate governance framework is also based on the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (dated December 8, 2016) and US laws and regulations applicable to Foreign Private Issuers. Additionally, the Board of Management has implemented the Philips General Business Principles (GBP) and underlying policies, as well as separate codes of ethics that apply to employees working in specific areas of our business, i.e. the Financial Code of Ethics and the Procurement Code of Ethics. Many of the documents referred to are published on the company’s website and more information can be found in Our approach to risk management.

Please also refer to Corporate governance where the main elements of the company’s corporate governance structure have been addressed.

### 8.5.2Philips Business System

As we drive our transformation to become a solutions provider to our customers and consumers, we have adopted a single standard operating model that defines exactly how we want to work – the Philips Business System (PBS).

The PBS integrates key aspects of how we operate – from our strategy, governance, organizational design, processes and systems, to our people and team practices, and our culture and performance management.

It is designed to make Philips a simpler, faster, customer-focused, learning organization, in order to fulfill our purpose of improving the health and well-being of billions of people. One that aspires to the highest standards of quality and integrity in everything we do. Building on standard work and best practices, with clear accountabilities and a culture of continuous improvement and compliance. Applying our creativity to make a competitive difference in serving our customers. Making Philips the best place to work.

### 8.5.3Quality & Regulatory

Our business success depends on the quality of our products, services and solutions, and compliance with many regulations and standards on a global basis. We continue on our transformation journey to have customer-focused global processes, procedures, standards, and a quality mindset to help us maintain the highest possible level of quality in all our products.

For Philips, as a business with a significant global footprint, compliance with evolving regulations and standards, including data privacy and cybersecurity, involves increased levels of investment along with the demands of increased regulatory enforcement activity. Our business relies on the secure electronic transmission, storage and hosting of sensitive information, including personal information, protected health information, financial information, intellectual property, and other sensitive information related to our customers and workforce. For information on how Philips manages cybersecurity risk, please refer to Operational risks.

#### Quality

Philips is committed to delivering the highest quality products, services and solutions compliant with all applicable laws and standards. We are investing substantially in embedding quality in our organizational culture as well as consolidating and standardizing our Quality Management Systems. We will continue to raise the performance bar. Quality is an integral part of the evaluation of all levels of management. With consistency of purpose, top-down accountability, consolidation, standardization and leveraging continuous improvement, we aim to drive greater speed in the adoption of a quality mindset as well as improved quality outcomes throughout the enterprise.

#### Regulatory Compliance

Philips actively maintains Quality Systems globally that establish processes for its product design, manufacturing and distribution processes; these standards are in compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements. Our businesses are subject to compliance with regulatory pre-marketing and quality system requirements in every market we serve, and to specific requirements of local and national regulatory authorities including the US FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China and comparable agencies in other countries. We also must comply with the European Union’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Energy-using Products (EuP) and Product Safety Regulations.

We have a growing portfolio of regulated products in our Personal Health and Sleep & Respiratory Care businesses. Through our growing Oral Healthcare, Mother & Child Care and beauty product portfolio, the range of applicable regulations has been extended to include requirements relating to cosmetics and, on a very small scale, pharmaceuticals.

Often, new products that we introduce are subject to a pre-market regulatory processes (e.g. pre-market notification (510[k]), or pre-market approval (PMA) for marketing of FDA-regulated devices in the USA, and CE Marking in the European Union). Failing to comply with the regulatory requirements can have significant legal and business consequences. The number and diversity of regulatory bodies in the various markets we operate in globally adds complexity and time to product introductions.

In the European Union (EU), a new Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) was published in 2017, which will impose significant additional pre-market and post-market requirements. Since the announcement of the EU MDR, Philips has been executing a comprehensive strategic plan to ensure compliance with the MDR requirements that will come into effect in May 2021. The company has engaged in a top-to-bottom review of our full portfolio of products and solutions that fall under the mandate, and has developed a robust and detailed framework for a seamless transition by the time the Medical Device Regulation is operative. We have accomplished several milestones within the program: completing certifying audits, receiving updated CE Certificates and executing several shipments of MDR compliant products to the EU ahead of the date of application. To achieve these milestones, we made an annual EU MDR investment of around EUR 68 million in 2020 and will expect to have additional compliance costs for the new regulations of around EUR 37 million in 2021. We believe the global regulatory environment will continue to evolve, which could impact the cost, the time needed to approve, and ultimately, our ability to maintain existing approvals or obtain future approvals for our products.

##### Consent Decree

In October 2017, Philips North America LLC reached agreement on a consent decree with the US Department of Justice, representing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), related to compliance with current good manufacturing practice requirements arising from past inspections in and before 2015, focusing primarily on Philips’ Emergency Care & Resuscitation (ECR) business operations in Andover (Massachusetts) and Bothell (Washington).

Under the decree, Philips suspended the manufacture and distribution for the US market of external defibrillators, subject to certain exceptions. In January 2020, the Emergency Care & Resuscitation (ECR) business obtained Quality Management System Certification from an independent expert, fulfilling a significant consent decree requirement. Following a successful inspection in Bothell (Washington), in April 2020, FDA determined that Philips had met the conditions for resuming on the manufacture and distribution of defibrillators in the US. The consent decree remains in effect for a number of years, during which the Emergency Care & Resuscitation (ECR) business will be subject to a series of annual assessments by an independent expert.

Substantial progress continues to be made in our compliance efforts. However, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter, and the consent decree authorizes the FDA, in the event of any violations in the future, to order us to cease manufacturing and distributing ECR or Monitoring & Analytics devices, recall products, pay liquidated damages and take other actions. We also cannot currently predict whether additional monetary investment will be incurred to resolve this matter or the matter’s ultimate impact on our business.

### 8.5.4Remuneration policy

The objectives of the remuneration policy for members of the Board of Management, as adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders in 2017, are in line with that for executives throughout the Philips Group. That is, to focus them on improving the performance of the company and enhancing the long-term value of the Philips Group, to motivate and retain them, and to be able to attract other highly qualified executives to enter into Philips’ services, when required.

In order to compete for talent in the health technology market, the Supervisory Board identified a new peer group*) for remuneration benchmarking purposes in 2017 to align the Board of Management’s remuneration levels closer to equivalent positions in this market. These peer companies are either business competitors, with an emphasis on companies in the healthcare, technology related or consumer products area, or companies we compete with for executive talent. These consist of predominantly Dutch and other European companies, plus a minority number (up to 25%) of US based global companies, of comparable size, complexity and international scope. Annual changes to the peer group can be made by the Supervisory Board, for example for reasons of changes in business or competitive nature of the companies involved. Such change will be disclosed if it has a substantial impact on peer group composition. No changes were made to the peer group during 2018.

To support the policy’s objectives, the remuneration package includes a significant variable part in the form of an annual cash bonus incentive and long-term incentive in the form of performance shares. The policy does not encourage inappropriate risk-taking.

The performance targets for the members of the Board of Management are determined annually at the beginning of the year. The Supervisory Board determines whether performance conditions have been met and can adjust the payout of the annual cash bonus incentive and the long-term incentive grant upward or downward if the predetermined performance criteria were to produce an inappropriate result in extraordinary circumstances. The authority for such adjustments exists on the basis of contractual ultimum-remedium and claw-back clauses. In addition, pursuant to Dutch legislation effective January 1, 2014, incentives may, under certain circumstances, be amended or clawed back pursuant to statutory powers. For more information please refer to Corporate governance. Further information on the performance targets is given in the chapters on the Annual Incentive (see 2020 Annual Incentive) and the Long-Term Incentive Plan (see 2018 Long-Term Incentive) respectively.

#### Key features of our Board of Management Compensation Program

The list below highlights Philips’ approach to remuneration, in particular taking into account Corporate Governance practices in the Netherlands.

##### What we do

- We pay for performance

- We do not reward failing members of the Board of Management upon termination of contract
- We do not grant loans or give guarantees to members of the Board of Management

*)The remuneration benchmarking peer group currently consists of 25 companies, being: Ahold Delhaize, AkzoNobel, ASML, Atos, BAE Systems, Becton Dickinson, Boston Scientific, Capgemini, Danaher, Electrolux, Ericsson, Essilor International, Essity (formerly SCA, company split), Fresenius Medical Care, Heineken, Henkel & Co, Medtronic, Nokia, Reckitt Benckiser, Roche, Rolls-Royce, Safran, Siemens Healthineers, Smith & Nephew, and Thales. (Alcatel Lucent was excluded as it was acquired by Nokia). This peer group differs from the TSR peer group, see 2018 Long-Term Incentive.

### 8.5.5General Business Principles

While pursuing our business objectives, we aim to be a responsible partner in society, acting with integrity towards our employees, customers, business partners and shareholders, as well as the wider community in which we operate. Everyone at Philips is expected to always act with integrity, and Philips rigorously enforces compliance of its General Business Principles (GBP) throughout the company.

In the highly regulated world of healthcare, integrity requires in-depth knowledge of the applicable rules and regulations and a sensitivity to healthcare-specific issues. The GBP – part of the Philips Business System – incorporate and represent the fundamental principles by which all Philips businesses and employees around the globe must abide. They set the minimum standard for business conduct, both for individual employees and for the company and our subsidiaries. Our GBP also serve as a reference for the business conduct we expect from our business partners and suppliers.

Translations of the GBP text are available in 30 languages, allowing almost every employee to read the GBP in their native language. Detailed underlying policies, manuals, training, and tools are in place to give employees practical guidance on how to apply and uphold the GBP in their daily work environment. Details can be found at www.philips.com/gbp.

In 2020, a total of 571 concerns were reported via Philips Speak Up (Ethics Line) and through our network of GBP Compliance Officers. The previous reporting period (2019) saw a total of 545 concerns, resulting in an increase of 5% in the number of reports.

While this is a continuation of the upward trend reported since 2014, the year in which Philips updated its General Business Principles and deployed a strengthened global communication campaign, the increase is flattening. Specifically in 2020, we focused on increasing awareness on Integrity and on the importance of speaking up, through and following up on the deployment of our biennial Business Integrity Survey. We still believe the upward trend in reporting remains in line with our multi-year efforts to encourage our employees to express their concerns, but the extraordinary business conditions in 2020 make it imprudent to draw any specific conclusions from these numbers.

More information on the Philips GBP can be found in Risk management.

### 8.5.6Risk management approach

Risk management and control forms an integral part of the Philips business planning and performance review cycle. The company’s risk management policy and framework are designed to provide reasonable assurance that its strategic and operational objectives are met, that legal requirements are complied with, and that the integrity of the company’s financial reporting and its related disclosures is safeguarded. Please refer to Risk management for a more detailed description of Philips’ approach to risk management (including Internal Control over Financial Reporting), risk categories and factors, and certain specific risks that have been identified.

With respect to financial reporting, a structured self-assessment and monitoring process is used company-wide to assess, document, review and monitor compliance with Internal Control over Financial Reporting. On the basis of the outcome of this process, the Board of Management confirms that: (i) the management report (within the meaning of section 2:391 of the Dutch Civil Code) provides sufficient insights into any failings in the effectiveness of the internal risk management and control systems; (ii) such systems provide a reasonable level of assurance that the financial reporting does not contain any material inaccuracies; (iii) based on the current state of affairs, it is justified that the financial reporting is prepared on a going concern basis; and (iv) the management report states those material risks and uncertainties that are relevant to the expected continuity of the company for a period of 12 months after the preparation of the report. The financial statements fairly represent the financial condition and result of operations of the company and provide the required disclosures.

In view of the above, the Board of Management believes that it is in compliance with best practice 1.4.2 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. It should be noted that the above does not imply that the internal risk management and control systems provide certainty as to the realization of operational and financial business objectives, nor can they prevent all misstatements, inaccuracies, errors, fraud or non- compliances with rules and regulations. The above statement on internal control should not be construed as a statement in response to the requirements of section 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The statement as to compliance with section 404 is set forth in . Management’s report on internal control

### 8.5.7Total tax contribution

To fulfill our company purpose, a responsible tax approach is required. We fully acknowledge our societal role when it comes to paying taxes in the geographies where value is created. We consider our tax payments as a contribution to the communities in which we operate, as part of our social value creation.

Our Approach to Tax sets the standard for our conduct, by which individual employees, the company and its subsidiaries must abide. We consider tax in the context of the broader society, inspired by our stakeholder dialogues, global initiatives of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and United Nations, human rights, international (tax) laws and regulations and relevant codes of conduct.

Under the ultimate responsibility of the Board of Management, the Chief Financial Officer annually reviews, evaluates, approves and where necessary adjusts Philips’ approach to tax. Philips supports and participates in transparency initiatives such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and the Tax Transparency Benchmark of the Dutch Association of Investors for Sustainable Development (VBDO).

In 2020, Philips contributed to the communities where we operate through taxes paid (e.g. corporate income tax) and taxes collected (e.g. VAT). As part of its ESG commitments, announced in September 2020, Philips committed to provide more transparency on its taxes paid and collected in the countries it operates in. Our first Country Activity and Tax Report can be found on our website. Philips' total tax contribution in 2020, amounting to EUR 3.38 billion, is described by tax type below:

# 9Risk management

## 9.1Our approach to risk management

### Vision and objectives

Philips believes risk management is a value-creating activity that complements our innovation and entrepreneurship. Philips’ risk management approach is an integral part of the Philips Business System (PBS), and key elements are our Risk management governance, Risk appetite, the Risk Management Process standard, the Philips Business Control Framework, and our General Business Principles (GBP). These are further described in this chapter. The company’s risk management is designed to provide reasonable assurance that strategic and operational objectives are met, legal requirements are complied with, and the integrity of the company’s financial reporting and related disclosures is safeguarded. However, there can be no absolute assurance that our risk management will avoid or mitigate all risks that Philips faces. The material risks are described in Risk factors.

All forward-looking statements made on or after the date of this Annual Report and attributable to Philips are expressly qualified, in their entirety, by the factors described in the cautionary statement included in Forward-looking statements and in the overview of risk factors described in Risk factors.

### Risk management governance

The Executive Committee identifies, oversees, and manages the risks Philips faces in realizing its objectives. It defines the Risk Appetite, provides the risk management framework and monitors the effectiveness thereof. The Risk Management Support Team, consisting of experts on various categories of enterprise risk, supports the Executive Committee through regular analysis of the enterprise risk profile and enhancement of the risk management framework. Management is responsible for identifying critical risks and implementing appropriate risk responses within their area of responsibility. Various functions (such as Internal Control, Quality & Regulatory, and Group Security) support management of specific risk areas.

The Internal Audit function assesses the quality of risk management and controls through the execution of a risk-based audit plan, as approved by the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. Leadership from our Board of Management, Executive Committee, Businesses, Markets and key Functions meet quarterly with Internal Audit in Audit & Risk Committees to discuss strengths and weaknesses of risk management and controls – as evaluated by internal and external auditors and by means of other (self) assessments – and take corrective action where necessary.

The Disclosure Committee oversees the company’s disclosure activities and assists the Board of Management in fulfilling its responsibilities in this respect. The Committee’s purpose is to ensure that the company implements and maintains internal procedures for the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure, as appropriate, of information potentially subject to public disclosure under the legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements to which the company is subject.

The Security Steering Committee (SSC) and the Group Security function manage security (including cybersecurity) risks at Philips. The SSC evaluates and sets the Group’s security strategy, issues security policies and evaluates progress and effectiveness. Dedicated security reports are shared with the Executive Committee, Supervisory Board and external auditors. On a quarterly basis, briefings on cybersecurity risks are provided to the IT Audit & Risk Committee.

The Audit Committee and the Quality & Regulatory Committee of the Supervisory Board assist the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in relation to risk. The quality of risk management and controls, and the findings of internal and external audits, are reported to, and discussed with, the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. The Quality & Regulatory Committee’s role particularly relates to the quality, including regulatory compliance, of the Company’s products (including software), services and systems and their development, testing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing.

In Corporate governance the Company addresses the main elements of its corporate governance structure, reports on how it applies the principles and best practices of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, and provides certain other information.

### Risk appetite

The Executive Committee and management seek to manage risks consistently within the risk appetite. Risk appetite is set by the Executive Committee and captured in the Risk Management Policy. It is effectuated as an integral part of our PBS, of which various elements – e.g. Strategy, Behaviors, GBP, Authority Schedules, Policies, Process Standards and Performance Management Systems – include or reflect risk-taking guidance.

Philips’ risk appetite differs depending on the type of risk, ranging from an averse to a seeking approach. We believe we must operate within the dynamics of the health technology industry and take the risks needed to ensure we continually revitalize our offerings and the way we work. At the same time, Philips attaches prime importance to integrity, sustainability, product quality and safety, including compliance with regulations and quality standards. Risk appetite for the four main risk categories is visualized below.

Philips does not classify these risk categories in order of importance.

### Risk management process

In order to provide a comprehensive view of Philips’ risks, structured risk assessments take place according to the Philips risk management process standard, applying a top-down and bottom-up approach. Our process standard is designed based on the Enterprise Risk Management Framework: Integrating with Strategy and Performance (2017) from the committee of sponsoring organizations of the treadway commission (COSO) and on ISO 31000 - Risk Management. The process is supported by regular risk workshops with management at Group, Business, Market and Function levels. During 2020, several risk management workshops were held to assess and respond to enterprise risks.

Key elements of the Philips Risk Management Policy are:

- Management of Businesses, Markets and key Functions perform a risk assessment at least once a year, with updates of the strategic plan. Risk workshops are conducted across the company to facilitate these risk assessments. Management identifies and prioritizes risk, assigns ownership and implements appropriate risk responses;
- Management discusses and monitors the risk profile and risk response effectiveness at least quarterly in management’s performance reviews and Audit & Risk Committees;
- Developments in the enterprise risk profile and management’s initiatives to improve risk responses are discussed and monitored during the quarterly meeting of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board;
- As an integral part of the strategy review, each year the Executive Committee assesses the enterprise risk profile and the potential risk impact versus Group risk appetite. This assessment considers various inputs such as risk assessments from Businesses, Markets and Functions, Philips Internal Audit findings, Legal and Insurance matters, the materiality analysis, and external research. The assessment also covers the effectiveness of the risk management framework and potential improvements thereto;
- The Philips risk profile and the risk management framework are discussed at least once a year with the Supervisory Board.

Examples of measures taken during 2020 to further strengthen risk management:

- Activation of a COVID-19 response program by our Group Crisis Operations team;
- Further development and deployment of the PBS, including explicit requirements for management of risk, compliance and controls;
- Operationalization of a Risk & Compliance Center of Excellence to drive standardization, improvements, knowledge sharing and transparency;
- Benchmarking of our Enterprise Risk Management framework against industry best practices by an external party for continuous improvement;
- Further integration of risk in regular management processes and strategy execution dialogues to further strengthen our performance cycle;
- Continued development of the Information Security Program in view of the increasing exposure to cybercrime and information security requirements resulting from digitalization and our health technology focus;
- Continued improvements and simplification of the Quality Management Systems across the company;
- Various improvements of risk management in our supply chain, including Supplier risk management and our Business continuity management framework;
- Increased use of data analytics and process mining in controls monitoring, and ongoing development of the supporting enterprise, governance, risk and compliance IT platform.

### Philips Business Control Framework

The Philips Business Control Framework (PBCF) sets the standard for Internal Control over Financial Reporting at Philips. The objective of the PBCF is to maintain integrated management control of the company’s operations in order to ensure the integrity of the financial reporting, as well as compliance with laws and regulations. Philips has designed its PBCF based on the COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

As part of the PBCF, Philips has implemented a standard set of internal controls over financial reporting. Together with Philips’ established accounting procedures, this standard set of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that the books and records properly reflect transactions necessary to permit preparation of financial statements, that policies and procedures are carried out by qualified personnel, and that published financial statements are properly prepared and do not contain any material misstatements. In each unit, management is responsible for customizing the controls set for their business, risk profile and operations.

Each year, management’s accountability for internal controls for financial reporting is evidenced through the formal certification statement sign-off. Any deficiencies noted in the design and operating effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting which were not completely remediated, are evaluated at year-end by the Board of Management. The Board of Management’s report, including its conclusions regarding the effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, can be found in Management’s report on internal control

### Philips General Business Principles (GBP)

As part of the Philips Business System, our GBP set the standard for our business conduct as a health technology company. The GBP form an integral part of labor contracts in virtually every country in which Philips operates, and translations are available in 30 languages. Each year, employees reconfirm their commitment to the code of conduct after completing their GBP e-learning, while there is an additional annual sign-off for Executives. A similar sign-off is in place for Finance and Procurement staff for their respective codes of conduct. Detailed underlying policies, manuals, training, and tools are in place to give employees practical guidance on how to apply and uphold the GBP in their daily work.

The GBP Review Committee is responsible for the effective deployment of the GBP and for generally promoting a culture of compliance and ethics within the company. The Committee is chaired by the Chief Legal Officer, and its members include the Chief Financial Officer, Chief HR Officer and the Chief of International Markets. Furthermore, all our 17 markets have quarterly market compliance committees, which act as local satellites of the GBP Review Committee, dealing with GBP-related matters within the local context. They are also responsible for the design and execution of localized compliance plans that are tailored to their market-specific risks and organizational set-up, and regularly review the relevant compliance metrics for their respective market through dashboards delivered by the legal compliance monitoring team. The Secretariat of the GBP Review Committee, together with a worldwide network of GBP Compliance Officers, supports the organization with the implementation of GBP initiatives.

As part of our continuous effort to raise GBP awareness and foster dialogue throughout the organization, each year a global GBP communications and training plan is deployed, including our annual GBP Dialogue Initiative, aimed at reinforcing a culture of dialogue through the use of ethical dilemma case studies that are relevant to our workforce.

A key control to measure implementation of our GBP is the GBP Self-Assessment, which is part of our Internal Control framework. In addition, we continue to expand the capabilities of our legal compliance monitoring team, serving both our business customers as well as compliance networks with actionable compliance data, thus further improving our compliance control framework.

The GBP are supported by established mechanisms that ensure standardized reporting and enable both employees and third parties to escalate concerns 24/7. Concerns raised are registered consistently in a single database hosted outside of Philips servers to ensure confidentiality and security of identity and information. Encouraging people to speak up through the available channels if they have a concern will continue to be a cornerstone of our GBP communications and awareness campaigns. To further facilitate this, we completely redesigned our web-based intake site in 2020, improving employees’ experience when filing reports. At least twice a year, the GBP Review Committee, as well as the Executive Committee and Audit Committee, are informed on relevant GBP metrics, cases, trends and learnings.

Through the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board, the company also has procedures in place for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints specifically relating to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. The Reporting Policy Accounting and Audit Matters allows the confidential, anonymous submission of complaints regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

The GBP and underlying policies, including the Financial and Procurement Code of Ethics, are published on the company website, at www.philips.com/gbp.

## 9.2Risk factors

Philips believes the risks set out below are the material risks that could impact its ability to achieve its objectives. These risk factors may not, however, include all the risks that ultimately may affect Philips. Some risks not yet known to Philips, or currently believed not to be material, may ultimately have a major impact on Philips’ business, revenues, income, assets, liquidity, capital resources and/or ability to achieve its business objectives. Philips defines risks in four main categories: Strategic, Operational, Compliance and Financial risks. Philips presents the risk factors within each risk category in order of Philips’ current view of their expected significance. This does not mean that a lower-listed risk factor may not have a material and adverse impact on Philips’ business, revenues, income, assets, liquidity, capital resources and/or ability to achieve its business objectives. Furthermore, a risk factor listed below other risk factors may ultimately prove to have more significant adverse consequences than those other risk factors.

## 9.3Strategic risks

#### Philips may be unable to adapt swiftly to changes in industry or market circumstances.

Fundamental shifts in the health technology industry, such as the transition to digital and increased emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), may drastically change the business environment in which Philips operates. If Philips fails to recognize these changes in time, adjust business models, or introduce new products and services in response to these changes, or fails to meet its ESG commitments, this could result in a material adverse effect on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

#### Philips' global operations are exposed to economic, political and societal changes.

Philips’ business environment is influenced by political, economic and societal conditions in individual and global markets. Inevitably there is uncertainty with regard to the levels of (public) capital expenditure in general, unemployment levels, and consumer and business confidence, all of which could adversely affect demand for products and services offered by Philips.

Mature economies are currently the main source of revenues, while emerging economies are an increasing source of revenues. Philips sources its products and services mainly from the US, the EU (primarily the Netherlands) and China, and the majority of Philips’ assets are located in these geographies. Changes in monetary policy and trade and tax laws in the US, China and EU can have a significant adverse impact on other mature economies, emerging economies and international financial markets. Such changes, including tariffs and sanctions, import or export controls, increased healthcare regulation, nationalization of assets or restrictions on the repatriation of returns from foreign investments, may trigger reactions and countermeasures, leading to adverse impacts on global trade levels and flows, economic growth and political stability, all of which may have an adverse effect on business growth and stability on international financial markets.

The factors described above, or other factors which may impact economic and societal conditions relevant to Philips (e.g. COVID-19 and Brexit), are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results. They can also make it more difficult to budget and make reliable financial forecasts or could have a negative impact on Philips’ access to funding.

#### Philips’ overall risk profile is changing as a result of its focus on health technology and solutions.

As Philips’ business profile continues to further shift focus towards health technology, with a changing products and services portfolio and acquisitions, divestments and partnerships to support the execution of its health technology strategy, Philips is more exposed to developments in the health technology industry. It may therefore have a reduced ability to offset potential negative impacts of those developments through a more diversified portfolio. As Philips transitions from selling health technology products to selling health technology solutions, the nature of our customer relations is also evolving, which raises the long-term risk of (amongst others) customer default and dependency. Philips may pursue divestments from time to time, including divestments consistent with Philips’ focus on health technology, such as the disentanglement and future divestment of Philips’ Domestic Appliances business. These divestments may result in additional costs and divert management attention from other business priorities and risks, and the timing, terms, execution and proceeds of any such divestments are uncertain.

#### Philips’ overall performance in coming years depends on realization of its objectives in growth geographies.

Growth geographies are becoming increasingly important to Philips’ business plan, and Asia is an important production, sourcing and design center for Philips. Philips faces intense competition from local companies as well as other global players for market share in growth geographies. Philips needs to maintain and grow its position in growth geographies, invest in data-driven services and local talent, understand end-user preferences, and localize its portfolio in order to stay competitive. If Philips fails to achieve these objectives, it could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

#### Acquisitions could fail to deliver on their business plans and expose Philips to integration risks.

Selected acquisitions have been and are expected to be a part of Philips’ growth strategy. Acquisitions may expose Philips to integration risks in areas such as sales and service, logistics, regulatory compliance, information technology and finance. Integration challenges may adversely impact the realization of expected contributions from acquisitions. Philips may incur significant costs in connection with these transactions. Acquisitions may also divert management attention from other business priorities. Cost savings expected to be implemented following an acquisition may be difficult to achieve. Acquisitions may also lead to a substantial increase in long-lived assets, including goodwill, which may later be subject to write-down if an acquired business does not perform as expected, which may have a material adverse effect on Philips’ earnings.

#### Philips may be unable to secure and maintain intellectual property rights for its products and services or may infringe others' intellectual property rights.

Philips is dependent on its ability to obtain and maintain licenses and other intellectual property (IP) rights covering its products and services and its design and manufacturing processes. The IP portfolio is the result of an extensive patenting process that could be influenced by a number of factors, including innovation. The value of the IP portfolio is dependent on the successful promotion and market acceptance of standards developed or co-developed by Philips. This is particularly applicable to the segment Other, where licenses from Philips to third parties generate IP royalties and are important to Philips’ results of operations. The timing of licenses from Philips to third parties and associated revenues from IP royalties are uncertain and may vary significantly from period to period. A loss or impairment in connection with such licenses to third parties could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ financial condition and operating results. Philips is also exposed to the risk that a third party may claim to own the intellectual property rights to technology applied in Philips’ products and services. If any such claims of infringement of these intellectual property rights are successful, Philips may be required to pay damages to such third parties or may incur other costs or losses.

## 9.4Operational risks

#### COVID-19 and other pandemics could have an adverse effect on Philips’ operations and employees.

COVID-19 has affected Philips’ operations and results in 2020. Looking ahead, Philips continues to see uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of COVID-19 across the world, driven by, amongst others, the effectiveness of vaccination programs, mutations of COVID-19 and potentially new viruses which may cause new pandemics. Philips expects that COVID-19 may continue to impact the delivery on our triple duty of care in various ways: health and safety of our employees (in various working environments such as production, supply, field service, R&D, and working from home); meeting critical customer needs (for example to our production capacity and our ability to deliver, install and provide service); and business continuity (for example of our functional operations, supply chain, and commercial processes). These will require effort and expense to deal with and may negatively impact results from operations for an uncertain period.

Philips’ customers may not be focused on making new investments or face liquidity issues caused by COVID-19, which may adversely impact Philips’ cash flow generation. COVID-19 may also affect planned divestments consistent with Philips’ focus on health technology, including in relation to Philips’ Domestic Appliances business; the timing, terms, execution and proceeds of any such disposals may become more uncertain. Some further COVID-19 impacts are described in other risk factors.

#### Philips could be exposed to a significant cybersecurity breach.

Philips relies on information technology to operate and manage its businesses and store confidential data (relating to employees, customers, intellectual property, suppliers and other partners). Philips’ products, solutions and services increasingly contain sophisticated and complex information technology and generate confidential data related to customers and patients. Potential geopolitical conflicts and criminal activity continue to drive increases in the number and severity of cyber-attacks in general. Like many other multinational companies, Philips is therefore inherently and increasingly exposed to the risk of cyber-attacks. Information systems may be damaged, disrupted (including the provision of services to customers) or shut down due to cyber-attacks. In addition, breaches in the security of our systems (or the systems of our customers, suppliers or other partners) could result in the misappropriation, destruction or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information (including intellectual property) or personal data belonging to us or to our employees, customers, suppliers or other partners. These risks are particularly significant with respect to patient medical records. Cyber-attacks may result in substantial costs and other negative consequences, which may include, but are not limited to, lost revenues, reputational damage, remediation and enhancement costs, and other liabilities to regulators, customers and other partners, or penalties. While cyber-attacks have not historically resulted in significant damage or caused Philips to incur significant monetary cost in taking corrective action, there can be no assurance that future cyber-attacks will not result in significant or other consequences than described above.

#### Philips is exposed to risks in connection with IT system changes or failures.

Philips continuously seeks to create a more open, standardized and cost-effective IT landscape, for instance through further outsourcing, offshoring, commoditization and ongoing reduction in the number of IT systems. These changes create third-party dependency risk with regard to the delivery of IT services, the availability of IT systems, and the scope and nature of the functionality offered by IT systems. Although Philips has sought to strengthen security measures and quality controls relating to these systems, these measures may prove to be insufficient or unsuccessful.

#### Philips may be unable to ensure an effective supply chain.

Philips is continuing the process of creating a leaner supply base and is continuing its initiatives to replace internal capabilities with less costly outsourced products and services. These processes may result in increased dependency on a concentration of external suppliers. Although Philips works closely with its suppliers to avoid supply-related problems, there can be no assurance that it will not encounter supply problems in the future causing disruptions or unfavorable conditions.

Shortages or delays could materially harm Philips’ business. Most of Philips’ operations are conducted internationally, which exposes Philips to challenges. For example, Philips depends partly on the production and procurement of products and parts from Asian countries; the production and shipping of products and parts could be interrupted by events such as geopolitical changes (e.g. US-China relations), regional conflicts, pandemics (e.g. COVID-19), natural disasters or extreme weather events caused by climate change. Such changes may lead to adverse impacts on global trade levels and supply chains. COVID-19, more specifically, imposes supply chain challenges due to shifts in demand, need for production capacity adjustments and impacts on the safety of the environments for production, field service, installations, R&D.

A general shortage of materials, (sub) components also poses the risk of fluctuations in prices and demand, which could have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results. Philips purchases raw materials, including so-called rare earth metals, copper, steel, aluminum, noble gases and oil-related products, which exposes it to fluctuations in energy and raw material prices. Commodities have been subject to volatile markets, and such volatility is expected to continue. If Philips is not able to compensate for increased costs of raw materials, reduce reliance on such raw materials or pass on increased costs to customers, then price increases could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ results.

#### Philips may face challenges to drive operational excellence, productivity and speed in bringing innovations to market.

To gain sustainable competitive advantage and realize Philips’ ambitions for profitable growth, it is important that the company makes further improvements in its product and solution creation process, ensuring timely delivery of new products and solutions at lower cost and high customer service levels. The emergence of new low-cost competitors, particularly in Asia, further underlines the importance of improvements in the product creation process. The success of new product and solution creation, however, depends on a number of factors, including timely and successful completion of development, market acceptance, the ability to attract and retain skilled employees, production ramp-up to meet anticipated demand, potential quality issues or other defects in the early stages of introduction. Costs of developing new products and solutions may be reflected on Philips’ balance sheet and may be subject to write-down or impairment as a result of the performance of such products or services; the significance and timing of such write-downs or impairments are uncertain. Accordingly, Philips cannot determine in advance the ultimate effect that new product and solution creation will have on its financial condition and operating results. If Philips fails to create and commercialize products and solutions, it may lose market share and competitiveness, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results.

#### Philips is dependent on its people for leadership and specialized skills and may be unable to attract and retain such personnel.

The attraction and retention of talented employees in sales and marketing, research and development, finance, and general management, as well as highly specialized technical personnel, especially in transferring operations and enabling functions to low-cost countries, is critical to Philips’ success. The loss of employees with specialized skills could also result in business interruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic places additional challenges on team interactions and the onboarding of new people and brings uncertainty as to what will be the ‘new normal’ way of working after the pandemic. There can be no assurance that Philips will be successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified employees and the key personnel needed in the future.

#### Trade arrangements following Brexit could have an adverse effect on Philips' operations.

Philips sells products and services in the United Kingdom, although, following footprint adjustments, we no longer have manufacturing in the UK, only configuration. The potential financial impact following the trade arrangements between the UK and the EU or other countries following Brexit, ranges from adverse movements of the pound sterling versus the euro and the US dollar to supply chain disruptions due to the re-introduction of customs controls and the imposition of new tariffs on imports or exports to and from the United Kingdom. An unsuccessful response to trade arrangements may have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

## 9.5Compliance risks

#### Philips is exposed to non-compliance of its products and services with various regulations and standards including quality, product safety and data privacy.

Philips operates in a highly regulated product safety and quality environment and its products and services, including parts or materials from suppliers, are subject to regulation by various government and regulatory agencies (e.g. FDA (US), EMA (Europe), NMPA (China), MHRA (UK), ASNM (France), BfArM (Germany), IGZ (the Netherlands)). In the European Union (EU), a new Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) was published in 2017, which will impose significant additional pre-market and post-market requirements. Examples of other product-related regulations are the EU’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Energy-using Products (EuP).

With Philips’ focus on healthcare, new products and services frequently require regulatory approvals for market introduction. The number and diversity of regulatory bodies in the various markets we operate in adds complexity and may negatively impact time to market and implementation costs. Non-compliance with conditions imposed by regulatory authorities could result in product recalls, a temporary ban on products, stoppages at production facilities, remediation costs, fines or claims for damages. Product safety incidents or user concerns, as in the past, could trigger business reviews by the FDA or other regulatory agencies, which, if failed, could trigger these impacts.

The ongoing digitalization of Philips’ products and services, including its holding of personal health data and medical data, increases the importance of compliance with data privacy and similar laws.

Non-compliance could adversely impact Philips’ financial condition or operating result through lost revenue and cost of any required remedial actions, penalties or claims for damages. These issues could also further negatively impact Philips’ reputation, brand, relationship with customers and market share.

#### Philips is exposed to non-compliance with business conduct rules and regulations.

In the execution of its strategy, Philips could be exposed to the risk of non-compliance with business conduct rules and regulations. This risk is heightened in growth geographies as the legal and regulatory environment is less developed compared to mature geographies. Examples include commission payments to third parties, remuneration payments to agents, distributors, consultants and the like, and the acceptance of gifts, which may be considered in some markets to be normal local business practice. These risks could adversely affect Philips’ financial condition, reputation and brand and trigger the additional risk of exposure to governmental investigations, inquiries and legal proceedings. For further detail see section 'Legal proceedings' within Contingent assets and liabilities.

## 9.6Financial risks

#### Philips is exposed to a variety of treasury and financing risks, including liquidity, currency, credit and country risk.

Negative developments impacting the liquidity of global capital markets could affect Philips’ ability to raise or re-finance debt in the capital markets or could lead to significant increases in the cost of such borrowing in the future. If the markets expect a downgrade by the rating agencies, or if such a downgrade has actually taken place, this could increase the cost of borrowing, reduce our potential investor base and adversely affect our business.

Philips operates in over 100 countries and its reported earnings and equity are therefore inevitably exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies against the euro. Philips’ sales are sensitive in particular to movements in the US dollar, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and a wide range of other currencies from developed and emerging economies. Philips’ sourcing and manufacturing spend is concentrated in the European Union, the United States and China. Income from operations is particularly sensitive to movements in currencies of countries where Philips has no or very small-scale manufacturing/local sourcing activities but significant sales of its products or services, such as Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and a range of emerging markets such as Russia, South Korea, Indonesia, India and Brazil.

In view of the long lifecycle of health technology solution sales and long-term strategic partnerships, the financial risk of counterparties with outstanding payment obligations creates exposure risks for Philips, particularly in relation to accounts receivable from customers, liquid assets, and the fair value of derivatives and insurance contracts with financial counterparties. A default by counterparties in such transactions can have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

#### Philips is exposed to tax risks which could have a significant adverse financial impact.

Philips is exposed to tax risks which could result in double taxation, penalties and interest payments. The source of the risks could originate from local tax rules and regulations as well as international and EU regulatory frameworks. These include transfer pricing risks on internal cross-border deliveries of goods and services, tax risks related to acquisitions and divestments, tax risks related to permanent establishments, tax risks relating to tax loss, interest and tax credits carried forward, and potential changes in tax law that could result in higher tax expenses and payments. The risks may have a significant impact on local financial tax results, which, in turn, could adversely affect Philips’ financial condition and operating results. The value of the deferred tax assets, such as tax losses carried forward, is subject to the availability of sufficient taxable income within the tax loss-carry-forward period, but also to the availability of sufficient taxable income within the foreseeable future in the case of tax losses carried forward with an indefinite carry-forward period. The ultimate realization of the company’s deferred tax assets is uncertain. Accordingly, there can be no absolute assurance that all deferred tax assets, such as (net) tax losses and credits carried forward, will be realized.

#### Philips has defined-benefit pension and other post-retirement plans in several countries. The funded status and service cost are influenced by movements in financial markets and demographic developments.

A significant proportion of (former) employees in Europe and North and Latin America are covered by defined-benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans. The accounting for such plans requires management to make estimates on assumptions such as discount rates, inflation, longevity, expected cost of medical care and expected rates of compensation. Changes in these assumptions (e.g. due to movements in financial markets) can have a significant impact on the Defined Benefit Obligation and net interest cost.

#### Flaws in internal controls could adversely affect our financial reporting and management process.

Accurate disclosures provide investors and other market professionals with significant information for a better understanding of Philips’ businesses. Failures in internal controls or other issues with respect to Philips’ public disclosures, including disclosures with respect to cybersecurity risks and incidents, could create market uncertainty regarding the reliability of the information (including financial data) presented and could have a negative impact on the price of Philips securities. In addition, the reliability of revenue and expenditure data is key for steering the businesses and for managing top-line and bottom-line growth. The long lifecycle of health technology solution sales, from order acceptance to accepted installation and servicing, together with the complexity of the accounting rules for when revenue can be recognized in the accounts, presents a challenge in terms of ensuring consistent and correct application of the accounting rules throughout Philips’ global business. Significant changes in the way of working, such as working from home during a pandemic, may have an adverse impact on the control environment under which controls are executed, monitored, reviewed and tested. Any flaws in internal controls, or regulatory or investor actions in connection with flaws in internal controls, could adversely affect Philips’ financial condition, results of operation, reputation and brand.

# 11Supervisory Board report

## Letter from the Chairman of the Supervisory Board

###
Dear Stakeholder,

In 2020, Philips demonstrated both resilience and agility in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the healthcare and economic challenges it unleashed. The company’s achievements in reconfiguring supply chains, scaling up production and developing new ways of engaging with customers and employees ensured it was able to deliver against its triple duty of care – meeting critical customer needs, safeguarding the health and safety of its employees, and ensuring business continuity.

##### Strategy working

The events of 2020 validate Philips’ strategy to become the leading provider of health technology and to advance value-based care along the health continuum. Over the past years, Philips has significantly invested in informatics, data science and cloud technology to enable the delivery of integrated solutions across the health continuum and across care settings through telehealth. Philips’ innovations – supporting personal health, precision diagnosis, image-guided therapies and connected care, and leveraging the power of data and informatics – and its strong focus on customer needs continue to generate a growing proportion of solutions-based sales. It is an approach that is resonating more strongly than ever with customers and investors.

##### ESG commitments

In 2020, Philips continued to reinforce its leadership as a purpose-driven company with the announcement of a fully integrated approach to doing business responsibly and sustainably. Building on the company’s strong heritage in environmental and social responsibility, this framework comprises a comprehensive set of key commitments across the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions that guide execution of the company’s strategy. I share management’s conviction that this approach is the best way for Philips to create superior, long-term value for its multiple stakeholders.

##### Financial performance and outlook

Despite the challenging circumstances, Philips was able to execute its plans and return to growth and improved profitability in the second half of 2020. This was driven by the successful conversion of a strong order book and a gradual return of consumer demand. Philips continued to maintain a strong balance sheet and robust liquidity position throughout the period. Nevertheless, in view of the likely continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Philips took several measures to further enhance its liquidity position. At its Capital Markets Day with investors and financial analysts in November 2020, the company outlined its strategic plan and performance trajectory for the 2021–2025 period.

##### Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board spent several sessions in 2020 reviewing, among other things, Philips’ COVID-19 response, performance, strategy, talent pipeline, business controls, quality, and sustainability programs.

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in April 2020, the Supervisory Board was further strengthened by the addition of Feike Sijbesma and Peter Löscher. Feike Sijbesma is a recognized business and sustainability leader, while Peter Löscher is a seasoned business leader in the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries. Their outstanding experience will be highly valuable to our Board and to Philips, as the company expands its leadership in health technology solutions.

We are also very pleased to propose Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong as new members of the Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on May 6, 2021. Indra Nooyi is a proven business leader in the consumer and technology sectors, with a strong track record of delivering sustained profitable growth in a sustainable and responsible way. Chua Sock Koong has deep knowledge of information technologies and digitalization. She is the former CEO of Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel), Asia's leading communications technology group. Their strategic insights will be of great value to Philips, as the company embarks on its next growth phase as a health technology leader.

I consider it a privilege to have served three terms on the Supervisory Board of Philips, of which ten years as Chairman. When I step down at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in May 2021, I will hand over the reins to my successor, Feike Sijbesma. Together with our colleagues on the Supervisory Board, he will continue to provide thorough oversight of the company as it delivers on its purpose of improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation.

Jeroen van der Veer

Chairman of the Supervisory Board

### Introduction Supervisory Board Report

The Supervisory Board supervises and advises the Board of Management and Executive Committee in performing their management tasks and setting the direction of the business of the Philips Group. The Supervisory Board acts, and we as individual members of the Board act, in the interests of Royal Philips, its businesses and all its stakeholders. This report includes a more speciﬁc description of the Supervisory Board’s activities during the ﬁnancial year 2020 and other relevant information on its functioning.

### Activities of the Supervisory Board

The overview below indicates key matters that we reviewed and/or discussed during meetings throughout 2020:

- Regular assessments of the company’s overall strategy to extend its leadership as a health technology company. These included reviews of the strategic priorities for each of the business clusters, the company’s overall innovation strategy and innovation transformation program, Research & Development and the Data and Artificial Intelligence strategy. They also included regular reviews of the company’s acquisitions, divestments and partnerships funnel;
- The performance of the Philips Group and its underlying businesses, as well as the company’s flexibility under its capital structure and credit ratings to pay dividends and to fund capital investments, including share repurchases and other financial initiatives;

Risk domains covered included strategy, operations and compliance;
- Review of talent management, leadership and talent development, leadership culture, inclusion and diversity and succession planning for senior management;
- Evaluation of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee based on the achievement of specific group and individual targets approved by the Supervisory Board at the beginning of the year;
- Oversight of the adequacy of financial and internal controls;
- Significant civil litigation claims against, and public investigations into, Philips;

- Succession of the current Chairman of the Supervisory Board, whose third term will expire at the end of the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Supervisory Board also conducted 'deep dives' into a range of topics including:

- Strategy, performance trajectory, innovation portfolio, innovation roadmap and major innovations (including demonstrations on latest innovations) in Precision Diagnosis, Image Guided Therapy and Connected Care;
- The strategy and performance of Philips North America and Philips Greater China, including market trends, business performance and key strategic and transformation initiatives and priorities;
- Philips Capital, including performance and strategic imperatives;
- Marketing and E-commerce, including brand leadership and preference, reputation, Health Systems and Consumer Marketing.

The Supervisory Board also reviewed Philips’ annual and interim financial statements, including non- financial information, prior to publication.

### Supervisory Board meetings and attendance

In 2020, the members of the Supervisory Board convened for seven regular meetings and three extraordinary meetings. Moreover, we collectively and individually interacted with members of the Executive Committee and with senior management outside the formal Supervisory Board meetings. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the CEO met regularly for bilateral discussions about the company’s progress on a variety of matters. Feike Sijbesma and Peter Löscher, appointed to the Supervisory Board with effect from April 30, 2020, followed an induction program and interacted with various Executive Committee members for deep-dives on strategy, finance and investor relations, governance and legal affairs.

The Supervisory Board meetings were well attended in 2020. All Supervisory Board members were present during the Supervisory Board meetings in 2020, with the exception of one member not able to attend the April 2020 meeting. The committees of the Supervisory Board also convened regularly (see the separate reports of the committees below) and the committees reported back on their activities to the full Supervisory Board. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Board members held private meetings. We, as members of the Supervisory Board, devoted sufficient time to engage (proactively if the circumstances so required) in our supervisory responsibilities.

Because of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees were mostly held virtually and no local site visits were organized.

### Composition, diversity and self-evaluation by the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board is a separate corporate body that is independent of the Board of Management and the company. Its independent character is also reﬂected in the requirement that members of the Supervisory Board can be neither a member of the Board of Management nor an employee of the company. The Supervisory Board considers all its members to be independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Furthermore, the members of its Audit Committee are independent under the applicable US rules.

The Supervisory Board currently consists of ten members. In 2020, there were a number of changes to the composition of the Board. At the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Neelam Dhawan was re-appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board for an additional term of two years and Feike Sijbesma and Peter Löscher were each appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board for a term of four years. The agenda for the upcoming 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will include proposals to appoint Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong as members of the Supervisory Board.

The term of appointment of Jeroen van der Veer and Christine Poon will expire at the end of the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, after each having served three consecutive terms on the Supervisory Board. Furthermore, Orit Gadiesh will step down from the Supervisory Board at the end of the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, after having served seven years on the Supervisory Board. We, as members of the Supervisory Board, would like to take this opportunity to thank Jeroen van der Veer, Christine Poon and Orit Gadiesh for their contributions to our work. After an internal selection process, the Supervisory Board appointed Feike Sijbesma as Chairman of the Supervisory Board, succeeding Jeroen van der Veer, and Paul Stoffels as Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board, succeeding Christine Poon and Feike Sijbesma. Both appointments will be effective as per the end of the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Supervisory Board attaches great value to diversity in its composition and adopted a Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee. As laid down in the Diversity Policy, the aim is that the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee comprise members with a European and a non-European background (nationality, working experience or otherwise) and overall at least four different nationalities, and that they comprise at least 30% male and at least 30% female members. The Supervisory Board’s composition furthermore follows the profile included in the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board, which aims for an appropriate combination of knowledge and experience among its members, encompassing marketing, manufacturing, technology and informatics, healthcare, financial, economic, social and legal aspects of international business and government and public administration in relation to the global and multiproduct character of Philips’ businesses. The aim is also to have one or more members with an executive or similar position in business or society no longer than five years ago. The composition of the Supervisory Board shall be in accordance with the best practice provisions on independence of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, and each member of the Supervisory Board shall be capable of assessing the broad outline of the overall policy of the company. The size of the Supervisory Board may vary as it considers appropriate to support its profile.

The Supervisory Board spent time in 2020 considering its composition, as well as the composition of the Executive Committee (including the Board of Management). Currently, the composition of the Supervisory Board meets the above-mentioned gender diversity goals, as 40% of the Supervisory Board members (4 out of 10) are female. Overall, 28% (7 out of 25) of the positions to which the Diversity Policy applies (Supervisory Board and Executive Committee/Board of Management) are held by women. As explained in the report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination and Selection Committee, the company continues its efforts to enhance inclusion and diversity in the entire organization. The Supervisory Board expects these efforts to contribute to the achievement of the company’s diversity goals, although there may be various pragmatic reasons – such as other relevant selection criteria and the availability of suitable candidates – that could have an impact on the achievement of the diversity goals. The Supervisory Board will continue to devote attention to this topic in 2021.

In 2020, each member of the Supervisory Board completed a questionnaire to verify compliance with the applicable corporate governance rules and the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board. The outcome of this survey was satisfactory.

An independent external party facilitated the 2020 self-evaluation process for the Supervisory Board and its committees. This included drafting the relevant questionnaire and interviewing members of the Supervisory Board as well as reporting on the results. The questionnaire covered topics such as the composition of the Supervisory Board and the required profile of future Supervisory Board members, stakeholder oversight, strategic oversight, risk management, dynamics of Supervisory Board meetings, succession planning and human resources oversight, the relationship between the Supervisory Board and Management and the priorities of the Supervisory Board in 2021. Furthermore, the performance of the Supervisory Board’s committees was reviewed. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board was evaluated through a separate questionnaire and his evaluation was also part of the discussions of the Supervisory Board about the selection of the new Chairman. The responses to the questionnaires were aggregated into reports.

The results of the self-evaluation were shared and discussed in a private meeting of the Supervisory Board. The responses provided by the Supervisory Board members indicated that the Board continues to be a well-functioning team. A number of suggestions were made to further improve the performance of the Supervisory Board over the coming period, with the top priorities being: a smooth transition of the Chair when Jeroen van der Veer steps down from the Supervisory Board, oversight of technology and innovation, the balance between organic and inorganic growth and the oversight of the CEO succession. The functioning of the Supervisory Board committees was rated highly. Furthermore, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board held bilateral meetings early 2021 where the results were also discussed.

The periodic use of an external facilitator to measure the functioning of the Supervisory Board will continue to be considered in the future.

### Supervisory Board committees

The Supervisory Board has assigned certain of its tasks to the three long-standing committees, also referred to in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code: the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee. The Supervisory Board also established the Quality & Regulatory Committee. The separate reports of these committees are part of this Supervisory Board report and are published below.

The function of all of the Board’s committees is to prepare the decision-making of the full Supervisory Board, and the committees currently have no independent or assigned powers. The full Board retains overall responsibility for the activities of its committees.

### Composition Board of Management

The term of Marnix van Ginneken’s appointment as member of the Board of Management will expire at the end of the upcoming 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The Supervisory Board is pleased that Marnix van Ginneken remains available as member of the Board of Management. The agenda for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2021 will therefore include a proposal to re-appoint Marnix van Ginneken as member of the Board of Management.

### Financial Statements 2020

The financial statements of the company for 2020, as presented by the Board of Management, have been audited by Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, the independent external auditor appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders. We have approved these financial statements, and all individual members of the Supervisory Board have signed these documents (as did the members of the Board of Management).

We recommend to shareholders that they adopt the 2020 financial statements. We likewise recommend to shareholders that they adopt the proposal of the Board of Management to make a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income of 2020.

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to the members of the Board of Management, the Executive Committee and all other employees for their continued contribution throughout 2020.

### Further information

To gain a better understanding of the responsibilities of the Supervisory Board and the internal regulations and procedures governing its functioning and that of its committees, please refer to Corporate governance and to the following documents published on the company’s website:

- Articles of Association
- Rules of Procedure Supervisory Board, including the Charters of the Board committees
- Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee

## 11.1Report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee is chaired by Jeroen van der Veer. Its other members are Christine Poon and Feike Sijbesma (who joined in the course of 2020). The Committee is responsible for the review of selection criteria and appointment procedures for the Board of Management, the Executive Committee, certain other key management positions, as well as the Supervisory Board.

In 2020, Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee members held six meetings and all Committee members attended these meetings.

The Committee devoted time to the appointment or reappointment of candidates to fill current and future vacancies on the Supervisory Board. Following those consultations, it prepared decisions and advised the Supervisory Board on candidates for appointment. This resulted in the re-appointment of Neelam Dhawan and the appointment of Feike Sijbesma and Peter Löscher as members of the Supervisory Board at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. This also resulted in the proposals to appoint Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong as members of the Supervisory Board, at the upcoming 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Under its responsibility for the selection criteria and appointment procedures for Philips’ senior management, the Committee reviewed the functioning of the Board of Management and its individual members, the Executive Committee succession plans and emergency candidates for key roles in the company. The conclusions from these reviews were taken into account in the performance evaluation of the Board of Management and Executive Committee members and the selection of succession candidates.

In 2020, the Committee devoted time to the appointment or reappointment of candidates to fill current and future vacancies on the Board of Management and the Executive Committee. These included the appointments of: Roy Jakobs as Chief Business Leader Connected Care, effective January 2020, succeeding Carla Kriwet who left the company; Kees Wesdorp as Chief Business Leader Precision Diagnosis, effective April 2020 (and in that role also jointly responsible for Diagnosis & Treatment), succeeding Rob Cascella, who transitioned to a role as Strategic Business Development Leader, where he remains a member of the Executive Committee; Deeptha Khanna as Chief Business Leader Personal Health, effective July 2020, succeeding Roy Jakobs; Edwin Paalvast as Chief of International Markets, effective August 2020, succeeding Henk de Jong. Henk de Jong transitioned to the role of CEO of the Domestic Appliances business (which is currently being separated from Philips) and remains a member of the Executive Committee. Furthermore, this resulted in the proposal to re-appoint Marnix van Ginneken as member of the Board of Management at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

With respect to corporate governance matters, the Committee discussed relevant developments and legislative changes, including pending or expected Dutch legislation on takeovers and shareholder activism and on gender diversity.

### Diversity

In 2017, the Supervisory Board adopted a Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee, which is published on the company website.

The criteria in the Diversity Policy aim to ensure that the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee have the expertise needed for a good understanding of current affairs and longer-term risks and opportunities related to the company’s business and sufficient diversity of views to provide appropriate challenge. The nature and complexity of the company’s business is taken into account when assessing optimal board diversity, as well as the social and environmental context in which the company operates.

Pursuant to the Diversity Policy, the selection of candidates for appointment to the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee will be based on merit. With due regard to the above, the company shall seek to fill vacancies by considering candidates that bring a diversity of (amongst others) age, gender and educational and professional backgrounds.

The Supervisory Board’s aim is that the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee comprise members with a European and a non-European background (nationality, working experience or otherwise) and overall at least four different nationalities, and that they comprise at least 30% male and at least 30% female members.

Currently, the Supervisory Board and the Board of Management/Executive Committee comprise members with more than 10 different nationalities. The composition of the Supervisory Board currently meets the above-mentioned gender diversity goals, with 40% of the Supervisory Board members (4 out of 10) being female. Overall, 28% (7 out of 25) of the positions to which the Diversity Policy applies (Supervisory Board and Executive Committee/Board of Management) are currently held by women.

The company continues to put in place measures to enhance diversity and inclusion at all levels within the organization, with the aim of retaining and progressing talent and of ensuring diversity and inclusion at senior management levels. To this end, Philips has set a new goal of 30% gender diversity in senior leadership positions by the end of 2025. With diversity being part of Philips’ purpose and one of the three strategic pillars of the global Human Resources strategy, long-term Inclusion & Diversity ambitions are embedded in that strategy. Execution is monitored through a diversity dashboard that is based on a global scorecard with specific goals, but also provides insights into the inflow, advancement and outflow of talent. This ensures clarity, accountability and focus and makes it possible to customize goals and intervene where appropriate. During 2020, further work was done to bring together various initiatives around unconscious bias, health, well-being and identity, to stand up against racism and to drive an ongoing dialogue about inclusion within teams across the company. These initiatives create a more holistic approach and include:

- Building senior women mentoring programs to develop and retain senior female leaders;
- Continuing Philips’ senior women-focused employer brand campaign;
- The global and local celebration of International Women’s Day across 80 locations worldwide;
- Including questions about diversity and inclusion in employee surveys. Results from recent surveys show positive trends, with all employees across all grades becoming more positive about Philips’ commitment to diversity in its widest sense, including background, talent and perspective as well as gender;
- Continuing the deployment, started in 2019, across the organization of tailor-made training designed to address unconscious bias. The training creates awareness of, and an ongoing dialogue around, unconscious bias and its impact on inclusion;
- Increased focus on health and well-being in view of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including, for example, the establishment of an Employee Assistance Program offering counselling support in a number of countries;
- The launch of a global Energy Management Program, addressing work-life balance and helping employees to build resilience;
- Offering active support to employees in setting up their own diverse and inclusive bottom-up networks in the organization. These include women’s networks, the Black Employees Resource Group that was founded in North America, an Asian employees’ network, and revival of the LGBTQ+ community, with the leaders of such networks and communities frequently coming together to ensure an integrated Inclusion & Diversity approach;
- Developing a global framework for a holistic workforce analytics approach to ensure equal opportunities and equity, assisted by an external expert;
- The global virtual celebration of Pride, Coming Out Day and World Mental Health Day, engaging with employees globally through dialogues with internal and external speakers, panel events and webinars;
- The recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month and the introduction of a one-week program of virtual events to celebrate Veterans Day in North America.

Philips’ commitment towards Inclusion & Diversity is furthermore reflected in the company-wide Inclusion & Diversity Policy, the General Business Principles and the Fair Employment Policy. Reference is also made to the section Inclusion & Diversity of this Annual Report for more information.

## 11.2Report of the Remuneration Committee

### 11.2.1Letter from the Remuneration Committee Chair

###### Dear Stakeholder,

On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to report on the Committee’s activities in 2020 and to present the 2020 Remuneration Report on behalf of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board.

An important milestone in 2020 was the update of the Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board respectively, as approved by our shareholders during the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The relevant proposals followed the implementation of the revised EU Shareholders Rights Directive (2017/828) into Dutch law (effective December 2019). To ensure that the Remuneration Committee was able to properly consider all feedback before submitting final remuneration packages to our shareholders, the Remuneration Committee initiated a dedicated remuneration roadshow in the second half of 2019, engaging with a number of the company’s shareholders (in aggregate representing approximately 35% of the issued share capital) and institutional advisory organizations.

As part of the update of the Remuneration Policy and the Long-Term Incentive Plan for the Board of Management, the following changes were made (compared to the previous 2017 versions):

- Long-Term Incentive - to explicitly link the Remuneration Policy to our purpose and our contribution to society, a sustainability criterion (non-financial) has been introduced in the Long-Term Incentive in addition to the financial criteria TSR and EPS. In addition, the TSR vesting schedule has been changed, reducing pay-out at and around median performance.
- Annual Incentive (individual element) - to enhance transparency, five performance categories have been defined for the individual element of the Annual Incentive (20% weighting). Each year, relevant categories will be chosen and disclosed ex-ante in the Annual Report. Related targets will be set for each of the members of the Board of Management.
- Quantum Peer Group - the Quantum Peer Group for compensation benchmarking purposes changed from 26 to 24 companies. Alcatel Lucent was excluded as it was acquired by Nokia (which was already included in the Quantum Peer Group), and Essilor International was excluded after its merger into a company with a business profile with less relevance for Philips.

During the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved the 2019 Remuneration Report (by a 92.06% for vote). Based on our shareholder engagement, we noted the request for an increased level of transparency in the Remuneration Report, and therefore we further increased disclosures in our 2020 Remuneration Report. For example, we have updated the annual incentive disclosure tables, showing the realized financial performance, the selected individual performance criteria and the assessment of performance for the individual targets of the 2020 annual incentive. During its regular meetings throughout the year, the Remuneration Committee obtained updates on remuneration-related developments and societal trends. Overall, the Remuneration Committee concluded that our Remuneration Policy and its implementation are well aligned with market practice and the prevailing corporate governance requirements, while it enables us to achieve alignment of the remuneration of the Board of Management with Philips’ purpose and strategy.

#### Impact of COVID-19

As highlighted in the letter from the Chairman of the Supervisory Board within Supervisory Board report, Philips demonstrated resilience and agility in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the healthcare and economic challenges it unleashed. The Remuneration Committee is mindful of the measures the company took in the first half of 2020 to further enhance its liquidity position, in view of the possible continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of these measures, the 2019 Annual Incentive for the Board of Management was paid out in shares, which will be subject to the 5-year holding period as prescribed by the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Group-wide, merit and promotional salary increases for senior management were delayed from April 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020.

Looking back, the Remuneration Committee acknowledges that COVID-19 has impacted Philips’ results in the year. Demand for our professional healthcare products and solutions to help diagnose, treat, monitor and manage COVID-19 patients increased strongly. At the same time, COVID-19 led to the postponement of installations and elective procedures in hospitals, which impacted parts of our business, and there was a decline in consumer activity, as a result of which our Personal Health businesses have been impacted. Overall, COVID-19 had an impact on Philips’ business performance in 2020. Management is to be commended strongly for leading the Company through the pandemic and achieving a satisfactory result for the year. Please refer to Strategy and Businesses and Financial performance of our Annual Report 2020 for more information on the effects of COVID-19.

#### The composition of the Remuneration Committee and its activities

The Remuneration Committee is chaired by Christine Poon. Its other members are Jeroen van der Veer, Orit Gadiesh and (since May 2020) Paul Stoffels. The Committee is responsible for preparing decisions of the Supervisory Board on the remuneration of individual members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, as well as the policies governing this remuneration. In performing its duties and responsibilities, the Remuneration Committee is assisted by an external consultant and an in-house remuneration expert. For a full overview of the responsibilities of the Committee, please refer to the Charter of the Remuneration Committee, as outlined in Chapter 3 of the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board (which are published on the company’s website).

### 11.2.2Remuneration report 2020

In this Remuneration Report, the Supervisory Board provides a comprehensive overview, in accordance with article 2:135b of the Dutch Civil Code, of the remuneration paid and owed to the individual members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board respectively in the financial year 2020. The report will also be published as a stand-alone document on the company’s website after the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the agenda of which will include an advisory vote on this Remuneration Report.

#### Board of Management

##### Summary of Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy and Long-Term Incentive Plan for the Board of Management have been adopted and approved respectively by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2020, which took place on April 30, 2020.

The objectives of the Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management are: to focus them on delivering on our purpose and strategy, to motivate and retain them, and to create stakeholder value.

Thus, the Remuneration Policy:

- Supports improving the company’s overall performance and enhancing the long-term value of the company;
- Directly supports our purpose by:
  a) linking a part of remuneration to achieving our strategic imperatives through the criteria and targets included in the Annual and Long-Term Incentives;
  b) offering market competitive compensation compared to a peer group of business competitors and companies we compete with for executive talent;
  c) enabling us to motivate, retain and attract world-class talent in order to support our purpose of improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation and our goal of addressing our customers’ healthcare challenges (delivering on the Quadruple Aim);
  d) stimulating share ownership to create alignment with shareholders and encourage employees to act as stewards and ambassadors of the company;
- Encourages the company and its employees to act responsibly and sustainably;
- Delivers value for our stakeholders, such as shareholders, customers, consumers and employees, by continuously engaging with them and make a positive contribution to society at large;
- Leads to fair and internally consistent pay levels by taking into account internal pay ratios.

##### Main elements of the Remuneration Policy

Compensation element | Purpose and link to strategy | Operation | Policy Level
--- | --- | --- | ---
Total Direct Compensation | To support the Remuneration Policy’s objectives, the Total Direct Compensation includes a significant variable part in the form of an Annual Incentive (cash bonus) and Long-Term Incentive in the form of performance shares. As a result, a significant proportion of pay is ‘at risk’. | The Supervisory Board ensures that a competitive remuneration package for Board-level executive talent is maintained and benchmarked. The positioning of Total Direct Compensation is reviewed against benchmark data on an annual basis and is recalibrated if and when required. To establish this benchmark, data research is carried out each year on the compensation levels in the Quantum Peer Group. | Total direct remuneration is aimed at or close to, the median of the Quantum Peer Group.
Annual Base Compensation | Fixed cash payments intended to attract and retain executives of the highest caliber and to reflect their experience and scope of responsibilities. | Annual Base Compensation levels and any adjustments made by the Supervisory Board are based on factors including the median of Quantum Peer Group data and performance and experience of the individual member. The annual review date for the base salary is typically before April 1. | The individual salary levels are shown in this Remuneration Report.
Annual Incentive | Variable cash bonus incentive of which achievement is tied to specific financial and non-financial targets derived from the company’s annual strategic plan. These targets are set at challenging levels and are partly linked to the results of the company (80% weighting) and partly to the contribution of the individual member (20% weighting). | The payout in any year relates to the achievements of the preceding year. Metrics are disclosed ex-ante in the Remuneration Report and there will be no retroactive changes to the selection of metrics used in any given year once approved by the Supervisory Board and disclosed. | President & CEO On-target: 100% Maximum: 200% of Annual Base Compensation. Other BoM members On-target: 80% Maximum: 160% of Annual Base Compensation.
Long-Term Incentive | Our Long-Term Incentives form a substantial part of total remuneration, with payouts contingent on achievement of challenging EPS targets, relative TSR performance against a high performing peer group and sustainability objectives that are directly aligned with our purpose to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. | The annual award size is set by reference to a multiple of base salary. The actual number of performance shares to be awarded is determined by reference to the average of the closing price of the Royal Philips share on the day of publication of the first quarterly results and the four subsequent trading days. Dependent upon the achievement of the performance conditions, cliff-vesting applies three years after the date of grant. During the vesting period, the value of dividends will be added to the performance shares in the form of shares. These dividend-equivalent shares will only be delivered to the extent that the award actually vests. | President & CEO Annual grant size: 200% of Annual Base Compensation. Other BoM members Annual grant size: 150% of Annual Base Compensation. Maximum vesting opportunity is 200% of the number of performance shares granted.
Mandatory share ownership and holding requirement | To further align the interests of executives to those of stakeholders and to motivate the achievement of sustained performance. | The guideline for members of the Board of Management is to hold at least a minimum shareholding in the company. Until this level has been reached the members of the Board of Management are required to retain all after-tax shares derived from any Long-Term Incentive Plan. All Board of Management members have reached the required share ownership level. The shares granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan shall be retained for a period of at least 5 years or until at least the end of their contract period if this period is shorter. The guideline does not require members of the Board of Management to purchase shares in order to reach the required share ownership level. | The minimum shareholding requirement is 400% of annual base compensation for the CEO and 300% for other members of the Board of Management.
Pension | Pension plan and pension contribution intended to result into an appropriate level at retirement. | Defined Contribution plan with fixed contribution (applicable to all executives in the Netherlands – capped at EUR 110,111). Gross allowance of 25% of annual base compensation exceeding EUR 110,111. Temporary gross transition allowance offsetting historical plan changes.
Additional arrangements | To aid retention and remain competitive within the marketplace | Additional arrangements include expense and relocation allowances, medical insurance, accident insurance and company car arrangements, which are in line with other Philips executives in the Netherlands. The members of the Board of Management also benefit from coverage under the company’s Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance. The company does not grant personal loans to members of the Board of Management.

##### Peer Groups

We use a Quantum Peer Group for remuneration benchmarking purposes, and therefore we aim to ensure that it includes business competitors, with an emphasis on companies in the healthcare, technology-related or consumer products area, and other companies we compete with for executive talent. The Quantum Peer Group consists of predominantly Dutch and other European companies, plus a minority (up to 25%) of US-based global companies, of comparable size, complexity and international scope.

Ericsson | Safran |  |
Essity | Siemens Healthineers |  |

Henkel & Co | Thales |  |

In addition, we use a TSR Performance Peer Group to benchmark our relative Total Shareholder Return performance for Long-Term Incentive purposes and against our business peers in the health technology market and other markets in which we compete. The companies we have selected for this peer group include predominantly US-based healthcare companies. Given that a substantial number of relevant competitors are US-headquartered, the weighting of US-based healthcare companies is more notable than for the Quantum Peer Group.

The Remuneration Policy and the Long-Term Incentive Plan allow changes to the peer groups to be made by the Supervisory Board without approval from the General Meeting of Shareholders in respect of up to three companies on an annual basis (for instance: following a delisting of a company or, a merger of two peer companies), or six companies in total during the four years following adoption and approval of the Remuneration Policy and the Long-Term Incentive Plan respectively (or, if earlier, until the adoption or approval of a revised Remuneration Policy or revised Long-Term Incentive Plan). In addition to these changes, in view of Philips’ planned portfolio change through the divestment of its Domestic Appliances business, the Supervisory Board may decide to remove Groupe SEB and De’Longhi from the TSR Performance Peer Group and replace them by other business competitors in the health technology market. No changes were made to either peer group during 2020.

##### Services agreements

The members of the Board of Management are engaged by means of a services agreement (overeenkomst van opdracht). Termination of the contract by either party is subject to six months’ notice period. The severance payment is set at a maximum of one year’s annual base compensation. No severance payment is due if the agreement is terminated early on behalf of the Board of Management member or in the case of urgent cause (dringende reden) as defined in article 7:678 and further in the Dutch Civil Code. The term of the services agreement is aligned with the term for which the relevant member has been appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders (which is a maximum period of four years, it being understood that this period expires no later than at the end of the AGM held in the fourth year after the year of appointment).

### 11.2.3Remuneration of the Board of Management in 2020

The Supervisory Board has determined the 2020 pay-outs and awards to the members of the Board of Management, upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy and Long-Term Incentive Plan as adopted and approved respectively by our shareholders during the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, the Supervisory Board has determined the 2020 pay-out of the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which the performance period ended on December 31, 2020. This was done in accordance with the Long-Term Incentive Plan as approved during the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Remuneration Committee annually conducts a scenario analysis. This includes the calculation of remuneration under different scenarios, whereby different Philips performance assumptions and corporate actions are examined. The Supervisory Board concluded that the relationship between the strategic objectives and the chosen performance criteria for the 2020 Annual Incentive, as well as 2018 Long-Term Incentive performance criteria, were adequate.

#### Annual Base Compensation

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Management has been reviewed as part of the regular remuneration review. In the case of Frans van Houten and Abhijit Bhattacharya, the annual compensation remained unchanged in 2020 compared to 2019 at EUR 1,325,000 and EUR 785,000 respectively. As a result of the review, the annual compensation of Marnix van Ginneken has been increased per October 1, 2020, from EUR 575,000 to EUR 595,000. This increase was made to move the total compensation level closer to the market median level, as well as to reflect internal relativities. Typically, the salary increase is implemented on April 1, however all merit and promotional salary increases for senior management globally were delayed from April 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020.

#### 2020 Annual Incentive

The Annual Incentive performance has been assessed based on:

##### Company financial results (80% weighting)

To support the performance culture, the financial targets we set are at group level for all members of the Board of Management. EBITA*) and free cash flow*) for Annual Incentive calculation purposes are corrected for restructuring and acquisition related costs as well as specific unexpected events which are outside of management’s control, to the extent they have not been reflected in the original targets. The 2020 realizations, shown in the following table, reflect the performance on the criteria at Group level that apply to the Board of Management. The performance on the comparable sales growth*) and EBITA*) based criteria were below target, whereas the performance on the free cash flow*) based criterion was above target.

Financial performance criteria | Weighting as % of target Annual Incentive | Assessment of performance | Weighted pay-out as % of target Annual Incentive
--- | --- | --- | ---
threshold performance | target performance | maximum performance | realized performance | resulting payout as % of target
Comparable Sales Growth1) | 30% | 2.3% | 4.3% | 6.3% | 2.5% | 55.0% | 17%
EBITA1) | 30% | 10.4% | 12.4% | 14.4% | 10.7% | 57.5% | 17%
Free Cash Flow1) | 20% | 1,096 | 1,505 | 1,914 | 1,852 | 185.1% | 37%
Total | 80% |  |  |  |  |  | 71%

1)Non-IFRS financial measure. For the definition and reconciliation of the most directly comparable IFRS measure, refer to Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.

##### Individual targets based on area of responsibility (20% weighting)

To determine the payout levels for the individual goals, the Supervisory Board applies a holistic assessment as to the performance against the set goals as well as the relative weighting of the goal categories. Overall, the Supervisory Board commends the Board of Management on their strong performance in 2020, taking into account the exceptional challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Board of Management Member | Individual Performance criteria | Assessment of performance | Weighted pay-out as% of target Annual Incentive
--- | --- | --- | ---
Frans van Houten | Strategy execution | Grown solutions sales as a % of revenue above target Executed on strategic M&A according to plan and divestment of Domestic Appliances on track | 27%
Quality & operational excellence | Productivity targets achieved in line with plan On track to comply with EU MDR and Consent Decree relating to US defibrillator business Structural progress on quality agenda
People & organization | Strengthened Executive Committee Increased employee engagement score in line with target Significant progress made in the deployment of the Philips Business System
Abhijit Bhattacharya | Strategy execution | Philips IT Landscape to enable new functionalities progressed according to plan Executed on strategic M&A according to plan and divestment of Domestic Appliances on track, including disentanglement | 24%
Quality & operational excellence | Productivity targets achieved in line with plan Delivered on Philips’ Finance, IT and GBS (Global Business Services) transformation plans
People & organization | Employee engagement score increased in line with target Significant progress made in the deployment of the Philips Business System
Marnix van Ginneken | Strategy execution | Executed on strategic M&A according to plan and divestment of Domestic Appliances on track Successful management of a number of legal matters | 21%
Quality & operational excellence | Consolidated legal manufacturers and quality management systems in line with plan
People & organization | Further developed the Government and Public Affairs function Employee engagement score increased in line with target Significant progress made in the deployment of the Philips Business System

Overall this leads to the following total Annual Incentive realization and payout (payout in 2021):

Annual Incentive realization 2020

#### 2021 Annual Incentive

The Annual Incentive criteria consist of:

##### Financial criteria (80% weighting):

For the year 2021, the following financial indicators of the company’s results are selected to ensure alignment with the key (strategic) priorities in the year:

- Profit/margin
- Revenue/growth
- Cash flow

##### Individual criteria (20% weighting):

The contribution of the individual member is assessed based on areas of responsibility, for which annually two to a maximum of five performance categories are selected for each Board of Management member from the following list:

- Customer results
- Quality & operational excellence
- Strategy execution
- People & organization
- ESG/Sustainability

For the year 2021, the following performance categories are selected to ensure alignment with the key (strategic) priorities in the year:

Board of Management Member | Selected performance categories
--- | ---
Frans van Houten | Customer Results Quality & operational excellence Strategy execution People & organization ESG/Sustainability
Abhijit Bhattacharya | Customer Results Quality & operational excellence Strategy execution People & organization
Marnix van Ginneken | Quality & operational excellence Strategy execution People & organization ESG/Sustainability

#### 2018 Long-Term Incentive

The 3-year performance period of the 2018 performance share grant ended on December 31, 2020. The payout results are explained below.

##### TSR (50% weighting)

A ranking approach to TSR applies with Philips itself included in the TSR Performance Peer Group. TSR scores are calculated based on a local currency approach and by taking a 3-month averaging period prior to the start and end of the 3-year performance period. The performance incentive pay-out zone is outlined in the following table, which results in zero vesting for performance below the 40th percentile and 200% vesting for performance levels above the 75th percentile. The incentive zone range has been constructed such that the average pay-out over time is expected to be approximately 100%.

Philips Group

Performance-incentive zone for TSR

Payout | 0 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 120 | 140 | 160 | 180 | 190 | 200

The TSR achieved by Philips during the performance period was 35.03%, using a start date of October 2017 and end date of December 2020. This resulted in Philips being positioned at rank 9 in the TSR performance peer group shown in the following table, resulting in a TSR achievement of 140%.

##### Adjusted EPS growth (50% weighting)

The LTI Plan EPS payouts and targets set at the beginning of the performance period were as follows:

Philips Group

LTI Plan EPS payouts

| Below threshold | Threshold | Target | Maximum | Actual
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
EPS (euro) | <1.23 | 1.23 | 1.43 | 1.63 | 1.45
Payout | 0% | 40% | 100% | 200% | 110%

LTI Plan EPS is based on the underlying income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, as included in the Annual Report, adjusted for changes in accounting principles. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has also deemed it appropriate to make adjustments relating to certain other items that were not contemplated when the targets were set in 2018. These relate to the profit and loss impact of acquisitions and divestitures, impact of foreign exchange variations versus plan and profit and loss impact of legal cases and pension de-risking. The sum of these adjustments increased the achieved LTI Plan EPS by EUR 0.16. The resulting LTI Plan EPS achievement was determined by the Supervisory Board as 110%.

In view of the above, the following performance achievement and vesting levels have been determined by the Supervisory Board in respect of the 2018 grant of performance shares:

Philips Group

Performance achievement and vesting levels

| achievement | weighting | vesting level
--- | --- | --- | ---
TSR | 140% | 50% | 70%
EPS | 110% | 50% | 55%
Total |  |  | 125%

####

#### 2021 Long-Term Incentive

The vesting of the 2021 Long-Term Incentive grant consisting of performance shares is subject to performance over a period of 3 years and based on two financial criteria and one non-financial criterion:

- 50% weighting: Relative Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’)
- 40% weighting: Adjusted Earnings per Share growth (‘EPS’)
- 10% weighting: Sustainability objectives

Please refer to the Long-Term Incentive Plan published on the company’s website for more information.

#### Pension

The following pension arrangement is in place for the members of the Board of Management working under a Dutch contract:

- Flex ES Pension Plan in the Netherlands, which is a Collective Defined Contribution plan with a fixed contribution of (currently) 30.3% (including an own contribution of 2%) of the maximum pensionable salary of EUR 110,111 (effective January 1, 2020) minus the offset. The Flex ES Plan has a target retirement age of 68 and a target accrual rate of 1.85%;
- A gross Pension Allowance equal to 25% of the base compensation exceeding EUR 110,111;
- A temporary gross Transition Allowance, for a maximum period of 8 years (first 5 years in full; year 6: 75%; year 7: 50%, year 8: 25%) for members of the Board of Management who were participants of the former Executive Pension Plan. The level of the allowance is based on the age and salary of the Board member on December 31, 2014.

For further details on the pension allowances and pension scheme costs, please refer to Pensions / section 4.1.2 of the Annual Report.

#### Total remuneration costs in 2020

The following table gives an overview of the costs incurred by the company in 2020 and 2019 in relation to the remuneration of the Board of Management. Costs related to performance shares and restricted share right grants are recognized by the company over a number of years. Therefore, the costs mentioned below in the performance shares and restricted share rights columns are the accounting cost of multi-year Long-Term Incentive grants to members of the Board of Management.

1)Reference date for board membership is December 31, 2020.2)Annual base compensation as incurred in the year, base compensation increases are reflected proportionally.3)Costs of performance shares are based on accounting standards (IFRS) and do not reflect the value of stock options at the end of the lock up period and the value of performance shares at the vesting/release date .4)The Pension Transition Allowances were maintained at the current level for Messrs van Houten and Bhattacharya for the term of their services agreements. The total pension cost of the Company related to the pension arrangement (including the aforementioned Transition Allowance) is at a comparable level over a period of time to the pension costs under the former Executive Pension Plan.5)The stated amounts mainly concern (share of) allowances to members of the Board of Management that can be considered as remuneration. In a situation where such a share of an allowance can be considered as (indirect) remuneration (for example, private use of the company car), then the share is both valued and accounted for here. The method employed by the fiscal authorities is the starting point for the value stated.6)Fixed remuneration is determined as the sum of base compensation, pension allowances, pension scheme costs and other compensation. Variable remuneration is determined as the sum of realized annual incentive and performance shares.

#### 5-year development of CEO and BoM versus average employee remuneration costs compared to company performance

Internal pay ratios are a relevant input factor for determining the appropriateness of the implementation of the Remuneration Policy, as recognized in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. For the 2020 financial year, the ratio between the annual total compensation for the CEO and the average annual total compensation for an employee was 71:1. The ratio increased from 60:1 in 2019. Further details on the development of these amounts and ratios over time can be found in the following table.

1)Based on total CEO compensation costs (EUR 6,153,067) as reported in section Total remuneration costs in 2020 2)Year in which service ended and as such partial annual remuneration was received.3)Based on Employee benefit expenses (EUR 6.5 billion) divided by the average number of employees (75,009 FTE) as reported in Income from operations. This results in an average annual total compensation cost of EUR 86,523 per employee. 4)A consideration when interpreting the ratios between CEO and average employee remuneration is that the remuneration of the CEO is more heavily dependent on variable compensation than the remuneration of the average employee at Philips. Furthermore, the costs of performance shares are based on accounting standards (IFRS) and the specific allocation of these costs to the year. As such, the total remuneration level and costs applicable to the CEO will vary more with Philips’ financial performance than the remuneration level and costs applicable to the average employee. As a consequence, the ratio will increase when financial performance is strong and conversely decrease when financial performance is not as strong. 5)Annual TSR was calculated in line with the method as used for the LTI plan (i.e. based on reinvested dividends and 3 month averaging)6)Non-IFRS financial measure. For the definition and reconciliation of the most directly comparable IFRS measure, refer to Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.

#### Remuneration of the Supervisory Board in 2020

##### Summary of the Remuneration Policy

Please find below a brief summary of the Remuneration Policy for the Supervisory Board, as adopted at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2020. The fee levels in this Remuneration Policy are the same as the Supervisory Board fee levels as determined by our shareholders at the 2018 Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.

The overarching objective of the 2020 Remuneration Policy for the Supervisory Board is to enable its members to fulfill their duties, acting independently: supervising the policies and management and the general affairs of Philips, and supporting the Board of Management and the Executive Committee with advice. Also, the members of the Supervisory Board are guided by the company’s long-term interests, with due observance of the company’s purpose and strategy, taking into account the interests of shareholders and all other stakeholders.

To support the objectives mentioned above, the 2020 Remuneration Policy is aimed at attracting and retaining international Supervisory Board members of the highest caliber and with experience and expertise relevant to our health technology businesses.

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board is not dependent on the results of the company and does not include any shares (or rights to shares). Members of the Supervisory Board may only hold shares in the company for the purpose of long-term investment and must refrain from short-term transactions in Philips securities. The company does not grant personal loans to members of the Supervisory Board.

The Supervisory Board reviews fee levels in principle every three years in order to monitor and take account of market developments and manage expectations of our key stakeholders. The levels are aimed at broadly median market levels (and around the 25th percentile market level for the Chairman) paid in the Quantum Peer Group (as used in the 2020 Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management).

The table below provides an overview of the current remuneration structure:

# 12Corporate governance

## 12.1Introduction

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips), a company organized under Dutch law, is the parent company of the Philips group. Its shares have been listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange (Euronext Amsterdam) since 1912. Furthermore, its shares have been traded in the United States since 1962 and have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1987.

Royal Philips has a two-tier board structure consisting of a Board of Management and a Supervisory Board, each of which is accountable to the General Meeting of Shareholders for the fulfillment of its respective duties.

The company is governed by Dutch corporate and securities laws, its Articles of Association, and the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee and of the Supervisory Board respectively. Its corporate governance framework is also based on the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (dated December 8, 2016) and US laws and regulations applicable to Foreign Private Issuers. Additionally, the Board of Management has implemented the Philips General Business Principles (GBP) and underlying policies, as well as separate codes of ethics that apply to employees working in specific areas of our business, i.e. the Financial Code of Ethics and the Procurement Code of Ethics. Many of the documents referred to are published on the company’s website and more information can be found in Our approach to risk management.

In this section of the Annual Report, the company addresses the main elements of its corporate governance structure, reports on how it applies the principles and best practices of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and provides the information required by the Dutch governmental Decree on Corporate Governance (Besluit inhoud bestuursverslag) and governmental Decree on Article 10 Takeover Directive (Besluit artikel 10 overnamerichtlijn). When deemed necessary in the interests of the company, the company may deviate from aspects of the company’s corporate governance structure, and any such deviations will be disclosed in the company’s corporate governance report.

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, other parts of the management report (within the meaning of section 2:391 of the Dutch Civil Code) included in the Annual Report address the strategy and culture of Philips aimed at long-term value creation. Philips' strategy is described in more detail in Strategy and Businesses.

## 12.2Board of Management and Executive Committee

### Introduction

The Board of Management is entrusted with the management of the company. Certain key officers have been appointed to support the Board of Management in the fulfilment of its managerial duties. The members of the Board of Management and these key officers together constitute the Executive Committee. In this Corporate Governance report, wherever the Executive Committee is mentioned, this also includes the members of the Board of Management, unless the context requires otherwise. Please refer to Board of Management and Executive Committee for an overview of the current members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee.

Under the chairmanship of the President/Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and supported by the other members of the Executive Committee, the members of the Board of Management drive the company’s management agenda and share responsibility for the continuity of the Philips group, focusing on long-term value creation. Please refer to the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, which are published on the company’s website, for a description of further responsibilities and tasks, as well as procedures for meetings, resolutions and minutes.

In fulfilling their duties, the members of the Board of Management and Executive Committee shall be guided by the interests of the company and its affiliated enterprise, taking into account the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. The Board of Management and the Executive Committee have adopted a division of responsibilities based on the functional and business areas, each of which is monitored and reviewed by the individual members. The Board of Management is accountable for the actions and decisions of the Executive Committee and has ultimate responsibility for the company’s external reporting (including reporting to the shareholders of the company).

The Board of Management and the Executive Committee are supervised by the Supervisory Board. Members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee will be present in the meetings of the Supervisory Board if so invited. In addition, the CEO and other members of the Board of Management (and if needed, the other members of the Executive Committee) meet on a regular basis with the Chairman and other members of the Supervisory Board. The Board of Management and the Executive Committee are required to keep the Supervisory Board informed of all facts and developments concerning Philips that the Supervisory Board may need to be aware of in order to function as required and to properly carry out its duties.

Certain important decisions of the Board of Management require Supervisory Board approval, including decisions concerning the operational and financial objectives of the company and the strategy designed to achieve these objectives, the issue, repurchase or cancellation of shares, and major acquisitions or divestments.

### Appointment and composition

Members of the Board of Management, including the CEO, are appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders upon a binding recommendation drawn up by the Supervisory Board after consultation with the CEO. This binding recommendation may be overruled by a resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast and representing at least one-third of the issued share capital. If a simple majority of the votes cast is in favor of the resolution to overrule the binding recommendation, but such majority does not represent at least one-third of the issued share capital, a new meeting may be convened, at which the resolution may be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast, regardless of the portion of the issued share capital represented by such majority. In the event that a binding recommendation has been overruled, a new binding recommendation shall be submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders. If such second binding recommendation has been overruled, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall be free to appoint a board member.

The CEO and the other members of the Board of Management are appointed for a term of four years, it being understood that this term expires at the closing of the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the fourth calendar year after the year of their appointment or, if applicable, at a later retirement date or other contractual termination date in the fourth year, unless the General Meeting of Shareholders resolves otherwise. The same applies in the case of re-appointment, which is possible for consecutive terms of four years. A (re-)appointment schedule for the Board of Management is published on the company’s website.

Pursuant to Dutch law, the members of the Board of Management are engaged by means of a services agreement (overeenkomst van opdracht). The term of the services agreement is aligned with the term for which the relevant member has been appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders. In case of termination of the services agreement by the company, severance payment is limited to a maximum of one year’s base salary. The services agreements provide no additional termination benefits.

Members of the Board of Management may be suspended by the Supervisory Board and by the General Meeting of Shareholders and members of the Board of Management may be dismissed by the General Meeting of Shareholders (in each case in accordance with the Articles of Association). The other members of the Executive Committee are appointed, suspended and dismissed by the CEO, subject to approval by the Supervisory Board.

## 12.3Supervisory Board

### Introduction

The Supervisory Board supervises the policies and management and the general affairs of Philips, and assists the Board of Management and the Executive Committee with advice on general policies related to the activities of the company. In fulfilling their duties, the members of the Supervisory Board shall be guided by the interests of the company and its affiliated enterprise, taking into account the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders.

In the two-tier corporate structure under Dutch law, the Supervisory Board is a separate body that is independent of the Board of Management and the company. Its independent character is also reflected in the requirement that members of the Supervisory Board can be neither a member of the Board of Management nor an employee of the company. The Supervisory Board considers all its members to be independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Furthermore, the members of its Audit Committee are independent under the applicable US rules.

The Supervisory Board must approve certain important decisions of the Board of Management, including decisions concerning the operational and financial objectives of the company and the strategy designed to achieve these objectives, the issue, repurchase or cancellation of shares and major acquisitions or divestments. The Supervisory Board and its individual members each have a responsibility to request from the Board of Management, the Executive Committee and the external auditor all information that the Supervisory Board needs in order to be able to carry out its duties properly as a supervisory body.

Please refer to the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board, which are published on the company’s website, for a description of further responsibilities and tasks, as well as procedures for meetings, resolutions and minutes.

In its report (included in the company’s Annual Report), the Supervisory Board describes the composition and functioning of the Supervisory Board and its committees, their activities in the financial year, the number of committee meetings held and the main items discussed. Please refer to Supervisory Board report. Please also refer to Supervisory Board for an overview of the current members of the Supervisory Board.

### Appointment and composition

Members of the Supervisory Board are appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders upon a binding recommendation drawn up by the Supervisory Board. This binding recommendation may be overruled by a resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast and representing at least one-third of the issued share capital. If a simple majority of the votes cast is in favor of the resolution to overrule the binding recommendation, but such majority does not represent at least one-third of the issued share capital, a new meeting may be convened. At this new meeting the resolution may be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast, regardless of the portion of the issued share capital represented by such majority. In the event that a binding recommendation has been overruled, a new binding recommendation shall be submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders. If such second binding recommendation has been overruled, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall be free to appoint a board member.

The term of appointment of members of the Supervisory Board expires at the closing of the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held after a period of four years following their appointment. There is no age limit requiring the retirement of board members.

In line with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, members of the Supervisory Board are eligible for re-appointment for a fixed term of four years once, and may subsequently be re-appointed for a period of two years, which appointment may be extended by at most two years. The report of the Supervisory Board must state the reasons for any re-appointment beyond an eight-year period. A (re-)appointment schedule for the Supervisory Board is published on the company’s website.

Members of the Supervisory Board may be suspended or dismissed by the General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the Articles of Association.

Candidates for appointment to the Supervisory Board are selected taking into account the company’s Diversity Policy, which is published on the company’s website. The Supervisory Board’s composition furthermore follows the profile included in the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board, and the size of the board may vary as it considers appropriate to support its profile. Please refer to Composition, diversity and self-evaluation by the Supervisory Board.

### Supervisory Board committees

The Supervisory Board, while retaining overall responsibility, has assigned certain tasks to four committees: the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee, the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the Quality & Regulatory Committee. Each committee reports to the full Supervisory Board. Please refer to the charters of the respective committees, which are published on the company’s website as part of the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board, for a description of their responsibilities, composition, meetings and working procedures.

The Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee is responsible for preparing selection criteria and appointment procedures for members of the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management and the Executive Committee. The Committee makes proposals to the Supervisory Board for the (re)appointment of such members, and periodically assesses their functioning. The Committee also periodically assesses the Diversity Policy, and supervises the policy of the Executive Committee on the selection criteria and appointment procedures for Philips executives. At least once a year, the Committee reviews the corporate governance principles applicable to the company, and advises the Supervisory Board on any changes to these principles that it deems appropriate.

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for preparing decisions of the Supervisory Board on the remuneration of individual members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee. The Committee prepares an annual remuneration report, which is included in the Annual Report. In performing its duties and responsibilities, the Remuneration Committee is assisted by an external consultant and an in-house remuneration expert acting on the basis of a protocol to ensure that the expert acts on the instructions of the Remuneration Committee and on an independent basis in which conflicts of interest are avoided.

The Audit Committee assists the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for: the integrity of the company’s financial statements; the financial reporting process; the effectiveness (also in respect of the financial reporting process) of the system of internal controls and risk management; the internal and external audit process; the internal and external auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance; as well as the company’s process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and the GBP (including related manuals, training and tools). It reviews the company’s annual and interim financial statements, including non-financial information, prior to publication and advises the Supervisory Board on the adequacy and appropriateness of internal control policies and internal audit programs and their findings. The Committee furthermore supervises the internal audit function, maintains contact with and supervises the external auditor and prepares the nomination of the external auditor for appointment by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The composition of the Audit Committee meets the relevant requirements under Dutch law and the applicable US rules. All of the members are considered to be independent and financially literate and the Audit Committee as a whole has the competence relevant to the sector in which the company is operating. In addition, David Pyott and Elizabeth Doherty are each designated as an Audit Committee financial expert, as defined under the regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The Supervisory Board considers the expertise and experience available in the Audit Committee, in conjunction with the possibility to take advice from internal and external experts and advisors, to be sufficient for the fulfillment of the tasks and responsibilities of the Audit Committee.

The Quality & Regulatory Committee has been established by the Supervisory Board in view of the central importance of the quality of the company’s products, systems, services and software as well as the development, testing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing thereof, and the regulatory requirements relating thereto. The Quality & Regulatory Committee assists the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in this area, whilst recognizing that the Audit Committee assists the Supervisory Board in its oversight of other areas of regulatory, compliance and legal matters.

## 12.4Other Board-related matters

### Remuneration and share ownership

The remuneration of the individual members of the Board of Management is determined by the Supervisory Board, taking into account the remuneration policy adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The remuneration of the individual members of the Supervisory Board is determined by the General Meeting of Shareholders, also on the basis of a remuneration policy.

The current remuneration policies for the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board, respectively, were adopted in 2020 and are published on the company’s website. A description of the composition of the remuneration of the individual members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board is included in Report of the Remuneration Committee.

Pursuant to Dutch law, the shareholders are entitled to vote on the adoption of the remuneration policies for each of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting (at least) every four years. The adoption of a remuneration policy will require a special majority of three-quarters of the votes cast (as the Articles of Association do not allow a lower majority). In addition, shareholders have an advisory vote at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on the remuneration report relating to the preceding financial year (as prepared by the Remuneration Committee and included in the Annual Report). The relevant item will be included in the agenda for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2021.

Pursuant to Dutch law, the Supervisory Board is authorized to reduce or eliminate unpaid bonuses awarded to members of the Board of Management if payment or delivery of the bonus would be unacceptable according to the principles of reasonableness and fairness. The company, which in this respect may also be represented by the Supervisory Board or a special representative appointed for this purpose by the General Meeting of Shareholders, may also request return of bonuses already paid or delivered insofar as these have been granted on the basis of incorrect information on the fulfillment of the relevant performance criteria or other conditions. Bonuses are broadly defined as ‘non-fixed’ (variable) remuneration – either in cash or in the form of share-based compensation – that is conditional in whole or in part on the achievement of certain targets or the occurrence of certain circumstances. The explanatory notes to the balance sheet shall report on any moderation and/or claim for repayment of Board of Management remuneration. No such reduction of unpaid bonuses or requests for repayment occurred during the financial year 2020.

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company does not grant personal loans to and guarantees on behalf of members of the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board. No such loans were granted and no such guarantees were issued in 2020, nor were any loans or guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

Also in compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the Articles of Association provide that shares or rights to shares shall not be granted to members of the Supervisory Board.

Members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board may only hold shares in the company for the purpose of long-term investment and must refrain from short-term transactions in Philips securities. According to Philips’ internal rules of conduct with respect to inside information, members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board are only allowed to trade in Philips securities (including the exercise of stock options) during ‘windows’ of 20 business days following the publication of annual and quarterly results (provided further the person involved has no inside information regarding Philips at that time, unless an exemption is available). Furthermore, members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board are prohibited from trading, directly or indirectly, in securities of any of the companies belonging to Philips’ peer group (as determined by the Supervisory Board), during one week preceding the disclosure of Philips’ annual or quarterly results.

Transactions in Philips shares carried out by members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board are reported to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation and, if necessary, to other relevant authorities.

### Indemnification

Unless Dutch law provides otherwise, the members of the Board of Management and of the Supervisory Board shall be reimbursed by the company for various costs and expenses, such as the reasonable costs of defending claims, as formalized in the Articles of Association. Under certain circumstances, described in the Articles of Association, such as an act or failure to act by a member of the Board of Management or a member of the Supervisory Board that can be characterized as intentional (opzettelijk), intentionally reckless (bewust roekeloos) or seriously culpable (ernstig verwijtbaar), there will be no entitlement to this reimbursement unless the law or the principles of reasonableness and fairness require otherwise. The company has also taken out liability insurance (D&O – Directors & Officers) for the persons concerned.

### Diversity

Candidates for appointment to the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management and the Executive Committee are selected taking into account the company’s Diversity Policy, which is published on the company’s website.

For more details on the Diversity Policy and board diversity, please refer to Report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee. For more details on the Diversity Policy, the profile of the Supervisory Board and board diversity please refer to Supervisory Board report and to Report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee

### Conflicts of interest

Dutch law on conflicts of interest provides that a member of the Board of Management or Supervisory Board may not participate in the adoption of resolutions if he or she has a direct or indirect personal conflict of interest with the company or related enterprise. If all members of the Board of Management have a conflict of interest, the resolution concerned will be considered by the Supervisory Board. If all members of the Supervisory Board have a conflict of interest, the resolution concerned must be considered by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company’s corporate governance includes rules to specify situations in which a potential or actual conflict may exist, procedures to avoid such conflicts of interest as much as possible, and to deal with such conflicts should they arise. Relevant matters relating to conflicts of interest, if any, must be mentioned in the Annual Report for the financial year in question. No decisions to enter into material transactions in which there are conflicts of interest with members of the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board were taken during the financial year 2020.

### Outside directorships

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, members of the Board of Management require the approval of the Supervisory Board before they can accept a position as a member of a supervisory board or a position as a non-executive director on a one-tier board (Non-Executive Directorship) at another company. The Supervisory Board must be notified of other important positions (to be) held by a member of the Board of Management.

Dutch law provides for certain limitations on the number of Non-Executive Directorships a member of the Board of Management or Supervisory Board may hold. No member of the Board of Management shall hold more than two Non-Executive Directorships at ‘large’ companies (naamloze vennootschappen or besloten vennootschappen) or ‘large’ foundations (stichtingen), as defined under Dutch law, and no member of the Board of Management shall hold the position of chairman of another one-tier board or the position of chairman of another supervisory board. No member of the Supervisory Board shall hold more than five Non-Executive Directorships at such companies or foundations, with a position as chairman counting for two. During the financial year 2020 all members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board complied with the limitations described above in this paragraph.

## 12.5General Meeting of Shareholders

### Meetings

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders shall be held no later than six months after the end of the financial year. The agenda for the meeting typically includes: an advisory vote on the remuneration report; discussion of the Annual Report, the adoption of the financial statements; policy on additions to reserves and dividends; any proposed dividends or other distributions; discharge of the members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board; any other matters proposed by the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management or shareholders in accordance with Dutch law and the Articles of Association.

Shareholders’ meetings are convened by public notice via the company’s website, and registered shareholders are notified by letter or by electronic means of communication at least 42 days prior to the day of the relevant meeting. Shareholders who wish to exercise the rights attached to their shares in respect of a shareholders’ meeting are required to register for such meeting. Shareholders may attend a meeting in person, vote by proxy (via an independent third party) or grant a power of attorney to a third party to attend the meeting and vote on their behalf. Details on registration for meetings, attendance and proxy voting will be included in the notice convening the relevant meeting.

Pursuant to Dutch law, the record date for the exercise of voting rights and rights relating to shareholders’ meetings is set at the 28th day prior to the day of the relevant meeting. Shareholders registered on such date are entitled to attend the meeting and to exercise the other shareholder rights (at the relevant meeting) notwithstanding any subsequent sale of their shares after the record date.

In accordance with the Articles of Association and Dutch law, requests from shareholders for items to be included on the agenda will generally be honored, subject to the company’s rights to refuse to include the requested agenda item under Dutch law, provided that such requests are made in writing at least 60 days before a General Meeting of Shareholders to the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board by shareholders representing at least 1% of the company’s outstanding capital or, according to the official price list of Euronext Amsterdam, representing a value of at least EUR 50 million. Written requests may be submitted electronically and shall comply with the procedure stipulated by the Board of Management, which procedure is posted on the company’s website.

Pursuant to Dutch law, shareholders requesting an item to be included on the agenda of a meeting have an obligation to disclose their full economic interest (i.e. long position and short position) to the company. The company has the obligation to publish such disclosures on its website.

### Main powers of the General Meeting of Shareholders

The main powers of the General Meeting of Shareholders are:

- to appoint, suspend and dismiss members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board;
- to adopt remuneration policies for the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board, determine the remuneration of the individual members of the Supervisory Board and to approve long-term incentive (equity-based) plans for the Board of Management;
- to adopt the annual accounts, to declare dividends and to discharge the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board from any liability in respect of the performance of their respective duties for the previous financial year;
- to appoint the company’s external auditor;
- to adopt amendments to the Articles of Association and proposals to dissolve or liquidate the company;
- to issue shares or rights to shares;
- to restrict or exclude pre-emptive rights of shareholders and to repurchase or cancel outstanding shares; and
- in accordance with Dutch law, to approve decisions of the Board of Management that are so far-reaching that they would greatly change the identity or nature of the company or the business.

The company applies principle 4.1 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code within the framework of the Articles of Association and Dutch law and in the manner described in this corporate governance report. All issued and outstanding shares carry voting rights and each share confers the right to cast one vote in a shareholders’ meeting. Pursuant to Dutch law, no votes may be cast at a General Meeting of Shareholders in respect of shares which are held by the company. There are no special statutory rights attached to the shares of the company and no restrictions on the voting rights of the company’s shares exist. Subject to certain exceptions provided by Dutch law and/or the Articles of Association, resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders are passed by an absolute majority of votes cast and do not require a quorum.

### Share capital; issue and repurchase of (rights to) shares

The authorized share capital of the company amounts to EUR 800 million, divided into 2 billion common shares with a nominal value of 20 eurocents each and 2 billion preference shares also with a nominal value of 20 eurocents each. On December 31, 2020, the issued share capital amounted to EUR 182,210,600.20 divided into 911,053,001 common shares and no preference shares. All shares are fully paid-up. There are currently no limitations, either under Dutch law or the Articles of Association, to the transfer of the common shares.

Only Euroclear shares are traded on Euronext Amsterdam. Only New York Registry Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Pursuant to Section 10:138(2) of the Dutch Civil Code, the laws of the State of New York are applicable to the proprietary regime with respect to the New York Registry Shares, which proprietary regime includes the requirements for a transfer of, or the creation of an in rem right in, such New York Registry Shares. Euroclear shares and New York Registry Shares may be exchanged for each other.

As per December 31, 2020, approximately 93% of the common shares were held through the system of Euroclear Nederland (Euroclear shares) and approximately 7% of the common shares were represented by New York Registry Shares issued in the name of approximately 911 holders of record, including Cede & Co. Cede & Co which acts as nominee for The Depository Trust Company holding the shares (indirectly) for individual investors as beneficiaries. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is Philips’ New York transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent. Since certain shares are held by brokers and other nominees, these numbers may not be representative of the actual number of United States beneficial holders or the number of New York Registry Shares beneficially held by US residents.

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, it was resolved to authorize the Board of Management, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue shares or to grant rights to acquire shares in the company as well as to restrict or exclude the pre-emption right accruing to shareholders up to and including October 29, 2021. This authorization is limited to a maximum of 10% of the number of shares issued as of April 30, 2020.

In addition, at the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, it was resolved to authorize the Board of Management, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to acquire shares in the company within the limits of the Articles of Association and within a certain price range up to and including October 29, 2021. The maximum number of shares the company may hold will not exceed 10% of the issued share capital as of April 30, 2020. The number of shares may be increased by 10% of the issued capital as of that same date in connection with the execution of share repurchase programs for capital reduction programs.

## 12.6Annual financial statements and external audit

The annual financial statements are prepared by the Board of Management and reviewed by the Supervisory Board upon the advice of its Audit Committee, taking into account the report of the external auditor. Upon approval by the Supervisory Board, the accounts are signed by all members of both the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board and are published together with the opinion of the external auditor. The Board of Management is responsible, under the supervision of the Supervisory Board, for the quality and completeness of such publicly disclosed financial reports. The annual financial statements are presented for discussion and adoption at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be convened subsequently.

The external auditor is appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the Articles of Association. Philips’ current external auditor, Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, was appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 7, 2015, for a term of four years starting January 1, 2016 and was re-appointed at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 9, 2019 for a term of three years starting January 1, 2020.

Dutch law requires the separation of audit and non-audit services, meaning the company’s external auditor is not allowed to provide non-audit services. This is reflected in the Auditor Policy, which is published on the company’s website. The policy is also in line with (and in some ways stricter than) applicable US rules, under which the appointed external auditor must be independent from the company both in fact and appearance.

The Auditor Policy specifies certain audit services and audit-related services (also known as assurance services) that will or may be provided by the external auditor, and includes rules for the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of such services. Audit services must be pre-approved on the basis of the annual audit services engagement agreed with the External Auditor. Proposed audit-related services may be pre-approved at the beginning of the year by the Audit Committee (annual pre-approval) or may be pre-approved during the year by the Audit Committee in respect of a particular engagement (specific pre-approval). The annual pre-approval is based on a detailed, itemized list of services to be provided, which is designed to ensure that there is no management discretion in determining whether a service has been approved, and to ensure that the Audit Committee is informed of each of the services it is pre-approving. Unless pre-approval with respect to a specific service has been given at the beginning of the year, each proposed service requires specific pre-approval during the year. Any annually pre-approved services where the fee for the engagement is expected to exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. The term of any annual pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval unless the Audit Committee states otherwise. During 2020, there were no services provided to the Company by the external auditor which were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

## 12.7Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips

Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips, a Foundation (stichting) organized under Dutch law, has been granted the right to acquire preference shares in the capital of Royal Philips, as stated in the company’s Articles of Association. In addition, the Foundation has the right to file a petition with the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to commence an inquiry procedure within the meaning of section 2:344 Dutch Civil Code.

The object of the Foundation is to represent the interests of Royal Philips, the enterprises maintained by the company and its affiliated companies within the company’s group, in such a way that the interests of the company, these enterprises and all parties involved with them are safeguarded as effectively as possible, and that they are afforded maximum protection against influences which, in conflict with those interests, may undermine the autonomy and identity of Philips and those enterprises, and also to do anything related to the above ends or conducive to them. This object includes the protection of Philips against (an attempt at) an unsolicited takeover or other attempt to exert (de facto) control of the company. The arrangement will allow Philips to determine its position in relation to the relevant third party (or parties) and its (their) plans, to seek alternatives and to defend the company’s interests and those of its stakeholders.

The mere notification that the Foundation exercises its right to acquire preference shares will result in such shares being effectively issued. The Foundation may exercise this right for as many preference shares as there are common shares in the company outstanding at that time. No preference shares have been issued as of December 31, 2020.

The members of the self-electing Board of the Foundation are Messrs J.M. Hessels, P.N. Wakkie and J.P. de Kreij. No Philips Supervisory Board or Board of Management members or Philips officers are represented on the board of the Foundation.

Other than the arrangements made with the Foundation referred to above, the company does not have any measures which exclusively or almost exclusively have the purpose of defending against unsolicited public offers for shares in the capital of the company. It should be noted that the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board remain under all circumstances authorized to exercise all powers vested in them to promote the interests of Philips.

The company has issued certain corporate bonds, the provisions of which contain a ‘Change of Control Triggering Event’ or a ‘Change of Control Put Event’. Upon the occurrence of such events, the company might be required to offer to redeem or purchase any outstanding bonds at certain pre-determined prices. Please also refer to Debt.

## 12.8Major shareholders

The Dutch Act on Financial Supervision imposes an obligation on persons holding certain interests to disclose (inter alia) percentage holdings in the capital and/or voting rights in the company when such holdings reach, exceed or fall below 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 95 percent (as a result of an acquisition or disposal by a person, or as a result of a change in the company’s total number of voting rights or capital issued). Certain derivatives (settled in kind or in cash) are also taken into account when calculating the capital interest. The statutory obligation to disclose capital interest relates not only to gross long positions, but also to gross short positions. Required disclosures must be made to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) without delay. The AFM then notifies the company of such disclosures and includes them in a register, which is published on the AFM’s website. Furthermore, an obligation to disclose (net) short positions is set out in the EU Regulation on Short Selling.

The AFM register shows the following notifications of substantial holdings and/or voting rights at or above the 3% threshold: BlackRock, Inc.: substantial holding of 5.03% and 6.19% of the voting rights (January 5, 2017); UBS Group AG: substantial holding of 3.78% and 3.78% of the voting rights (February 1, 2021). The AFM register also shows a notification by Philips of a substantial holding of 3.27% in its own share capital (no voting rights).

## 12.10Additional information

### Articles of association

Set forth below is a summary of certain provisions of the Articles of Association of the company, applicable Dutch law and related company policies. This summary does not constitute legal advice regarding those matters and should not be regarded as such.

#### Object and purpose

The objects of the company are to establish, participate in, administer and finance legal entities, companies and other legal forms for the purpose of the manufacture and trading of electrical, electronic, mechanical or chemical products, the development and exploitation of technical and other expertise, including software, or for the purpose of other activities, and to do everything pertaining thereto or connected therewith, including the provision of security in particular for commitments of business undertakings which belong to its group, all this in the widest sense, as may also be conducive to the proper continuity of the collectivity of business undertakings, in the Netherlands and abroad, which are carried on by the company and the companies in which it directly or indirectly participates. These objects can be found in Article 2 of the Articles of Association.

#### Share Capital

On December 31, 2020, the issued share capital amounted to EUR 182,210,600.20 divided into 911,053,001 common shares and no preference shares.

#### Voting rights

All issued and outstanding shares carry voting rights and each share confers the right to cast one vote in a shareholders’ meeting. Pursuant to Dutch law, no votes may be cast at a General Meeting of Shareholders in respect of shares which are held by the company. There are no special statutory rights attached to the shares of the company and no restrictions on the voting rights of the company’s shares exist. Major shareholders do not have different voting rights than other shareholders.

#### Dividends

A dividend will first be declared on preference shares out of net income. The Board of Management has the power to determine what portion of the net income shall be retained by way of reserve, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board. The remainder of the net income, after reservations made, shall be available for distribution to holders of common shares subject to shareholder approval after year-end.

#### Liquidation rights

In the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the company, the assets remaining after payment of all debts and liquidation expenses are to be distributed in the following order of priority: to the holders of preference shares, the amount paid thereon; and the remainder to the holders of the common shares.

#### Preemptive rights

Shareholders have a pro rata preferential right of subscription to any common share issuance unless the right is restricted or excluded. If designated by the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Management has the power to restrict or exclude the preferential subscription rights. A designation of the Board of Management will be effective for a specified period of up to five years and may be renewed. Currently, the Board of Management has been granted the power to restrict or exclude the preferential right of subscription up to and including October 29, 2021. If the Board of Management has not been designated, the General Meeting of Shareholders has the power to restrict or exclude such rights, upon the proposal of the Board of Management, which proposal must be approved by the Supervisory Board. Resolutions by the General Meeting of Shareholders referred to in this paragraph require approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting.

The foregoing provisions also apply to the issuance of rights to subscribe for shares.

#### General Meeting of Shareholders

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders shall be held each year not later than the thirtieth day of June and, at the Board of Management’s option, in Eindhoven, Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht or Haarlemmermeer (including Schiphol airport); the notice convening the meeting shall inform the shareholders accordingly. Without prejudice to applicable laws and regulations, the Board of Management may resolve to give notice to holders of its listed and traded via a stock exchange shares via the company’s website and/or by other electronic means representing a public announcement, which announcement remains directly and permanently accessible until the General Meeting of Shareholders. Holders of registered shares shall be notified by letter, unless the Board of Management resolves to give notice to holders of registered shares by electronic means of communication by sending a legible and reproducible message to the address indicated by the shareholder to the company for such purpose provided the relevant shareholder has agreed hereto.

In principle, all shareholders are entitled to attend a General Meeting of Shareholders, to address the meeting and to vote, except for shares held in treasury by the company. They may exercise the aforementioned rights at a meeting only for the common shares which on the record date are registered in their name. The record date is published in the above announcement and is, pursuant to Dutch law, set as the 28th day prior to the day of the relevant meeting. Holders of registered shares must advise the company in writing of their intention to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders. Holders of shares listed and traded via a stock exchange who either in person or by proxy wish to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders, should notify ABN AMRO Bank N.V., which is acting as agent for the company. They must submit a confirmation by a participating institution, in which administration they are registered as holders of the shares, that such shares are registered and will remain registered in its administration up to and including the record date, whereupon the holder will receive an admission ticket for the General Meeting of Shareholders. Holders of shares who wish to attend by proxy have to submit the proxy at the same time. A participating institution is a bank or broker which, according to the Dutch Securities Depository Act (Wet giraal effectenverkeer), is an intermediary (intermediair) of the Dutch Central Securities Depository (Euroclear Nederland).

In connection with the General Meeting of Shareholders, the company does not solicit proxies within the United States.

The Articles of Association of the company provide that there are no quorum requirements to hold a General Meeting of Shareholders. Subject to certain exceptions provided by Dutch law and/or the Articles of Association, resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders are passed by an absolute majority of votes cast and do not require a quorum.

#### Limitations on right to hold or vote Common Shares

There are no limitations imposed by Dutch law or by the Articles of Association on the right of non-resident owners to hold or vote the Common Shares.

#### Exchange controls

Cash dividends paid in euros on Dutch registered shares and bearer shares may be officially transferred from the Netherlands and converted into any other currency without Dutch legal restrictions, except that for statistical purposes such payments and transactions must be reported to the Dutch Central Bank. Furthermore, no payments, including dividend payments, may be made to jurisdictions subject to sanctions adopted by the government of the Netherlands and implementing resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations.

The Articles of Association of the company provide that cash distributions on New York Registry Shares shall be paid in US dollars, converted at the rate of exchange on the stock market of Euronext Amsterdam at the close of business on the day fixed and announced for that purpose by the Board of Management.

### Significant differences in corporate governance practices

The corporate governance rules established by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) allow Foreign Private Issuers, like Royal Philips, to follow home country practices on most corporate governance matters instead of those that apply to US domestic issuers, provided that they disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those applying to listed US domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards. The following paragraphs summarize what we believe to be the significant differences between certain Dutch practices on corporate governance matters and the corporate governance provisions applicable to US domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards.

#### Dutch corporate governance code

The company is a company organized under Dutch law, with its Common Shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam, and is subject to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code of December 8, 2016 (the Dutch Corporate Governance Code). Philips’ New York Registry Shares, representing Common Shares of the company, are listed on the NYSE.

#### Board structure

The NYSE listing standards prescribe regularly scheduled executive sessions of non-executive directors. The company has a two-tier corporate structure consisting of a Board of Management consisting of executive directors under the supervision of a Supervisory Board consisting exclusively of non-executive directors. Members of the Board of Management and other officers and employees cannot simultaneously act as member of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board must approve specified decisions of the Board of Management.

#### Independence of members of our Supervisory Board

The Dutch Corporate Governance Code sets forth certain limitations on the number of non-independent members of the Supervisory Board, and its committees. The Supervisory Board considers all its members to be independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The definitions of independence under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, however, differ in their details from the definitions of independence under the NYSE listing standards. In some cases the Dutch requirements are stricter than the NYSE listing standards, and in other cases the NYSE listing standards are the stricter of the two. The members of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board are independent under the NYSE listing standards.

#### Committees of our Supervisory Board

The company has established four committees, consisting of members of the Supervisory Board only: the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee and the Quality & Regulatory Committee. The roles, responsibilities and composition of these committees reflect the requirements of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company’s Articles of Association and Dutch law, which differ from the NYSE listing standards in these respects. The role of each committee is to advise the Supervisory Board and to prepare the decision-making of the Supervisory Board. In principle, the entire Supervisory Board remains responsible for its decisions even if such decisions were prepared by one of the Supervisory Board’s committees.

The NYSE requires that, when an audit committee member of a listed US domestic issuer serves on four or more audit committees of public companies, the listed company should disclose (either on its website or in its Annual Report on Form 10-K) that the board of directors has determined that this simultaneous service would not impair the director’s service to the listed company. Dutch law does not require the company to make such a determination.

In accordance with the procedures laid down in the Philips Auditor Policy and as mandatorily required by Dutch law, the external auditor of the company is appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders on the proposal of the Supervisory Board, after the latter has been advised by the Audit Committee and the Board of Management.

#### Equity compensation plans

The company complies with Dutch legal requirements regarding shareholder approval of equity compensation plans for the members of the Board of Management. Dutch law does not require shareholder approval of certain equity compensation plans for which the NYSE listing standards would require such approval. The company is subject to a Dutch requirement to seek shareholder approval for equity compensation plans for its members of the Board of Management.

#### Code of business conduct

The listing standards of the NYSE prescribe certain parameters for listed company codes of business conduct and ethics. The company has implemented the Philips General Business Principles, which are applicable to all employees, and a Financial Code of Ethics, which is applicable to all employees performing an accounting or financial function. Waivers granted to Senior (Financial) Officers (as defined in our Financial Code of Ethics) must be disclosed. In 2020 the company did not grant any waivers of the Financial Code of Ethics.

### New York Registry Shares

Certain common shares of the company are registered in the register maintained by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the New York transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent (the “New York Transfer Agent”), pursuant to a Transfer Agent Agreement, dated July 16, 2018, between the New York Transfer Agent and the company (such common shares, “New York Registry Shares”). As soon as practicable after receipt from the company, the New York Transfer Agent will provide holders of New York Registry Shares with a notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies with a notice prepared by the company stating (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and any solicitation materials (or a summary thereof in English provided by the company), (b) that each registered holder at the close of business on the record date set by the company therefor will be entitled, subject to any applicable provisions of Dutch law and the Articles of Association, to exercise the voting rights pertaining to the New York Registry Shares, and (c) the manner in which such voting rights may be exercised. The New York Transfer Agent may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or by the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to it in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of common shares, distribute to the registered holders of New York Registry Shares a notice that provides such holders with, or otherwise publicizes to such holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e. by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials).

## 13.1Management’s report on internal control

#### Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to section 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act

The Board of Management of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips) is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a15 (f) under the US Securities Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Board of Management conducted an assessment of Royal Philips' internal control over financial reporting based on the “Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013)” established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on the Board of Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Royal Philips' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, it has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, Royal Philips' internal control over Group financial reporting is considered effective.

The effectiveness of the Royal Philips' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, as included in this section Group financial statements, has been audited by Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which follows hereafter.

#### Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying section ‘Management’s report on internal control’, of this Annual Report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

#### Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

## 13.4Independent auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements

### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To: The Supervisory Board and Shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V.

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the group financial statements). In our opinion, the group financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 23, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

#### Basis for Opinion

These group financial statements are the responsibility of the Company‘s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company‘s group financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the US federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the group financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the group financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the group financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Critical audit matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the group financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the group financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the group financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue recognition – Sales-related accruals
Description of the Matter | Primarily in the Personal Health businesses, the Company has sales promotions-related agreements with distributors and retailers whereby discounts and rebates are provided according to the quantity of goods sold and promotional and marketing activities performed by the distributors and retailers. Auditing the Company’s measurement of sales related accruals relating to rebates, promotional and marketing support is especially complex because the calculation involves subjective management assumptions around the extent to which promotional or marketing targets will be met by Philips’ customers and the related rebates will be owed. Further reference is made to note 1, Significant accounting policies, and note 7, Income from operations section Sales composition and disaggregation, to the group financial statements.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | As part of our audit procedures, we obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to measurement for sales-related accruals. This included testing controls relating to management’s verification that sales-related accruals have been reviewed and underlying assumptions were based on management’s best estimate. We evaluated management’s assumptions (as described above) by performing, among other procedures, a retrospective review of actual settlements of prior period sales-related accruals, confirmed the agreed upon terms and conditions for a sample of customer contracts and performed cut off testing through assessing the sales promotions obligations around year-end. We also assessed the adequacy of the revenue disclosures.

Valuation of Goodwill for Cash Generating Units Population Health Management and Aging and Caregiving
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2020, the total carrying value of goodwill amounted to EUR 8,014 million, representing 29% of the group’s total assets. Goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs) for which management is required to test the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if there is a triggering event for testing. Management recorded a total impairment charge of EUR 144 million related to the CGUs Population Health Management (PHM) and Aging and Caregiving (ACG). Further reference is made to note 1, Significant accounting policies, and note 12, Goodwill, to the group financial statements. IAS 36 defines the recoverable amount as the higher of an asset’s or cash‑generating unit’s fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and its value in use (ViU). As of December 31, 2020, management used the FVLCD to determine the recoverable amount for the CGUs PHM and ACG. The FVLCD reflects the current operating environment and business outlook, including management’s plan to sell the ACG business, and also reflecting ongoing COVID-19 uncertainties. Auditing the calculation of the recoverable amount for the CGUs PHM and ACG, was complex and judgmental, due to the significant estimation required in determining the recoverable amounts. The most significant judgments used were the determination of the peer group used to determine quoted market multiples, determining the appropriate control premium to apply and the selected multiple chosen to represent the fair value of the CGUs. Auditing these judgments involved complex auditor judgment because of the subjectivity in determining the peer group and the appropriate revenue multiple, including control premium, to represent the fair value of the CGUs.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment review process related to the CGUs PHM and ACG, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions and controls over the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models used. For example, we tested controls over management’s determination of peer companies, evaluation of market multiples and determination of control premium. As part of our audit we assessed and tested the assumptions and data used by management in its valuation model for the CGUs PHM and ACG, for example, by testing the completeness and appropriateness of management’s peer group (for the purpose of determining the market multiples), and testing the implied valuation multiples of those peers to external market data. We tested the control premium used by management by comparing it to external data, such as independent control premium studies. Additionally, we tested the accuracy of the sales data used by management in the calculation (to which the market multiple is applied). We also performed an analysis of the significant assumptions to evaluate the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to changes in the assumptions. We involved in our team a valuation specialist to assist us in these audit procedures. We also assessed the adequacy of management’s disclosure of the goodwill impairment.

Valuation and disclosure of provisions for legal claims, litigations and contingencies
Description of the Matter | The Company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings, as well as being investigated by governmental authorities for alleged non-compliance with laws and regulations. The Company records litigation provisions if it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be estimated reliably. We evaluated the accounting and disclosure for (contingent) legal liabilities, which is complex and judgmental due to the difficulty in predicting the outcome of the matters and estimating the potential impact if the outcomes are unfavorable, and the amounts involved are, or can be, material to the financial statements as a whole. Further reference is made to note 1, Significant accounting policies, note 20, Provisions, and note 25, Contingent assets and liabilities, to the group financial statements.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding, evaluating the design and testing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls around the identification and evaluation of claims, proceedings and investigations at different levels in the group, and the recording and continuous re-assessment of the related (contingent) liabilities and provisions and disclosures. To confirm our understanding of the allegations and test the Company’s accounting and disclosure for (contingent) legal provisions, we discussed the allegations with both internal and external legal counsel, as well as with the Company’s finance department, inspected relevant correspondence with authorities, inspected the minutes of the meetings of the Audit Committee, Supervisory Board and Executive Committee, requested a confirmation letter from the Company’s in-house legal counsel and obtained external legal confirmation letters from a selection of external legal counsel. For claims settled during the year, we vouched the cash payments, as appropriate, and read the related settlement agreements. Specifically related to ongoing investigations into alleged non-compliance with laws and regulations, we were supported by EY fraud investigation specialists. We also assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure around legal claims, litigations and contingencies, as included in the group financial statements.

## 13.10Notes

### Notes to the Consolidated financial statements of the Philips Group

### 1Significant accounting policies

The Consolidated financial statements in the Group financial statements section have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and with the statutory provisions of Part 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective 2020 have been endorsed by the EU; consequently, the accounting policies applied by Philips also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting policies have been applied by group entities.

The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated.

The Consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the presentation currency. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up precisely to the totals provided.

#### Use of estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS 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. These estimates inherently contain a degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, as well as to the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The company evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases the estimates on historical experience, current and expected future outcomes, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that Philips believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to circumstances beyond the company’s control and are reflected in the assumptions if and when they occur. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. The company revises material estimates if changes occur in the circumstances or if there is new information or experience on which an estimate was or can be based. Reference is made to the note on COVID-19 which includes further details on the impact of the pandemic on these significant judgments and estimates.

The areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made are goodwill, deferred tax asset recoverability, valuation of inventories, impairments, classification and measurement of financial instruments, the accounting for an arrangement containing a lease, the assessment whether a lease option to extend or cancel a lease in which the company is a lessee is reasonably certain to be exercised or not, revenue recognition, tax risks and other contingencies, assessment of control, classification of assets and liabilities held for sale and the presentation of items of profit and loss and cash flows as continuing or discontinued, as well as when determining the fair values of acquired identifiable intangible assets, contingent considerations and investments based on an assessment of future cash flows (e.g. earn out arrangements as part of acquisitions). For further discussion of these significant judgements and estimates, reference is made to the respective accounting policies and notes within these Consolidated financial statements that relate to the above topics.

Further judgment is applied when analyzing impairments of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use that are performed annually and whenever a triggering event has occurred to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. These analyses are generally based on estimates of discounted future cash flows. Furthermore, the company applies judgment when actuarial assumptions are established to anticipate future events that are used in calculating post-employment benefit expenses and liabilities. These factors include assumptions with respect to interest rates, rates of increase in healthcare costs, rates of future compensation increases, turnover rates and life expectancy.

#### Changes in presentation from the prior year

Accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except for the item mentioned below. In addition, certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

##### Change in per share calculations

On June 26, 2020, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in shares only. The dividend was settled in July through the issuance of 18,080,198 new common shares. In accordance with IAS 33 Earnings Per Share, per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares for the share dividend in respect of 2019. Further reference is made to Earnings per share.

#### Specific choices within IFRS

In certain instances, IFRS allows alternative accounting treatments for measurement and/or disclosure. Philips has adopted one of the treatments as appropriate to the circumstances of the company. The most important of these alternative treatments are mentioned below.

##### Tangible and intangible fixed assets

Under IFRS, an entity shall choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting model for tangible and intangible fixed assets. In this respect, items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives and residual values are evaluated annually. Furthermore, the company chose to apply the cost model, meaning that costs relating to product development, the development and purchase of software for internal use and other intangible assets are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the estimated useful life. Further information on Tangible and Intangible fixed assets can be found in Property, plant and equipment and in Intangible assets excluding goodwill, respectively.

##### Employee benefit accounting

IFRS does not specify how an entity should present its service costs related to pensions and net interest on the net defined-benefit liability (asset) in the Consolidated statements of income. With regards to these elements, the company presents service costs in Income from operations and the net interest expenses related to defined-benefit plans in Financial expense.

Further information on employee benefit accounting can be found in Post-employment benefits.

##### Cash flow statements

Under IFRS, an entity shall report cash flows from operating activities using either the direct method (whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments are disclosed) or the indirect method (whereby profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows). In this respect, the company chose to prepare the cash flow statements using the indirect method.

Furthermore, interest cash flows are presented in cash flows from operating activities rather than in cash flows from financing or investing activities, because they enter into the determination of profit or loss. The company chose to present dividends paid to shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V. as a component of cash flows from financing activities, rather than to present such dividends as cash flows from operating activities, which is an allowed alternative under IFRS.

Consolidated statements of cash flows can be found in Consolidated statements of cash flows.

#### Policies that are more critical in nature

##### Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of goods in the normal course of business is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied and it is based on the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. The consideration expected by the company may include fixed and/or variable amounts which can be impacted by sales returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. The company adjusts the consideration for the time value of money for the contracts where no explicit interest rate is mentioned if the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds six months. Revenue for the sale of goods is recognized when control of the asset is transferred to the buyer and only when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when uncertainties related to a variable consideration are resolved.

Transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For consumer-type products in the segment Personal Health businesses, control is transferred when the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and title and risk have passed to the customer (depending on the delivery conditions) and acceptance of the product has been obtained. Examples of delivery conditions are ‘Free on Board point of delivery’ and ‘Costs, Insurance Paid point of delivery’, where the point of delivery may be the shipping warehouse or any other point of destination as agreed in the contract with the customer and where control is transferred to the customer.

Revenues from transactions relating to distinct goods or services are accounted for separately based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling price is defined as the price that would be charged for the goods or service in a separate transaction under similar conditions to similar customers, which within the company is mainly the Country Target Price (CTP). The transaction price determined (taking into account variable considerations) is allocated to performance obligations based on relative stand-alone selling prices. These transactions mainly occur in the segments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care businesses and include arrangements that require subsequent installation and training activities in order to make distinct goods operable for the customer. As such, the related installation and training activities are part of equipment sales rather than separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when the installation has been completed and the equipment is ready to be used by the customer in the way contractually agreed.

Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. A variable consideration is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Such assessment is performed on each reporting date to check whether it is constrained. For products for which a right of return exists during a defined period, revenue recognition is determined based on the historical pattern of actual returns, or in cases where such information is not available revenue recognition is postponed until the return period has lapsed. Return policies are typically based on customary return arrangements in local markets.

A provision is recognized for assurance-type product warranty at the time of revenue recognition and reflects the estimated costs of replacement and free-of-charge services that will be incurred by the company with respect to the products sold. For certain products, the customer has the option to purchase the warranty separately, which is considered a separate performance obligation on top of the assurance-type product warranty. For such warranties which provide distinct service, revenue recognition occurs on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty contract period.

In the case of loss under a sales agreement, the loss is recognized immediately.

Expenses incurred for shipping and handling of internal movements of goods are recorded as cost of sales. Shipping and handling related to sales to third parties are recorded as selling expenses. When shipping and handling are part of a project and billed to the customer, then the related expenses are recorded as cost of sales. Shipping and handling billed to customers are distinct and separate performance obligations and recognized as revenues. Expenses incurred for sales commissions that are considered incremental to the contracts are recognized immediately in the Consolidated statements of income as selling expenses as a practical expedient under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Revenue from services is recognized over a period of time as the company transfers control of the services to the customer which is demonstrated by the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits provided by the company. The amount of revenues is measured by reference to the progress made towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, which in general is evenly over time. Service revenue related to repair and maintenance activities for goods sold is recognized ratably over the service period or as services are rendered.

Royalty income from brand license arrangements is recognized based on a right to access the license, which in practice means over the contract period based on a fixed amount or reliable estimate of sales made by a licensee.

Royalty income from intellectual property rights such as technology licenses or patents is recognized based on a right-to-use the license, which in practice means at a point in time based on the contractual terms and substance of the relevant agreement with a licensee. However, revenue related to intellectual property contracts with variable consideration where a constraint in the estimation is identified, is recognized over the contract period and is based on actual or reliably estimated sales made by a licensee.

The company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule or credit period, as established in our contracts. Credit periods are determined based on standard terms, which vary according to local market conditions. Amounts posted in deferred revenue for which the goods or services have not yet been transferred to the customer and amounts that have either been received or are due, are presented as Contract liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets.

##### Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current, non-current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the Consolidated statements of income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly within equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

In cases where it is concluded it is not probable that tax authorities will accept a tax treatment, the effect of the uncertainty is reflected in the recognition and measurement of tax assets and liabilities or, alternatively, a provision is made for the amount that is expected to be settled, where this can be reasonably estimated. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the company to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax assets and liabilities. Such changes to tax assets and liabilities will impact the income tax expense in the period during which such a determination is made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized, using the consolidated balance sheets method, for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates where the reversal of the respective temporary difference can be controlled by the company and it is probable that it will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on different taxable entities, but the company intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits against which they can be utilized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the countries where the deferred tax assets originated and during the periods when the deferred tax assets become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Deferred tax liabilities for withholding taxes are recognized for subsidiaries in situations where the income is to be paid out as dividend in the foreseeable future and for undistributed earnings of unconsolidated companies to the extent that these withholding taxes are not expected to be refundable or deductible. Changes in tax rates and tax laws are reflected in the period when the change was enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Any subsequent adjustment to a tax asset or liability that originated in discontinued operations and for which no specific arrangements were made at the time of divestment, due to a change in the tax base or its measurement, is allocated to discontinued operations (i.e. backwards tracing). Examples are a tax rate change or change in retained assets or liabilities directly relating to the discontinued operation. Any subsequent change to the recognition of deferred tax assets is allocated to the component in which the taxable gain is or will be recognized. The above principles are applied to the extent the ‘discontinued operations’ are sufficiently separable from continuing operations.

Further information on income tax can be found in Income taxes.

##### Provisions

Provisions are recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation, the amount can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. The accounting and presentation for some of the company’s provisions is as follows:

- Product warranty – A provision for assurance-type product warranty is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighing of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
- Environmental provisions – Measurement of liabilities associated with environmental obligations is based on current legal and constructive requirements. Liabilities and expected insurance recoveries, if any, are recorded separately. The carrying amount of environmental liabilities is regularly reviewed and adjusted for new facts and changes in law.
- Restructuring-related provisions – The provision for restructuring mainly relates to the estimated costs of initiated restructurings, the most significant of which have been approved by the Executive Committee, and which generally involve the realignment of certain parts of the industrial and commercial organization. When such restructurings require discontinuance and/or closure of lines of activities, the anticipated costs of closure or discontinuance are included in restructuring provisions. A liability is recognized for those costs only when the company has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation with those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. Before a provision is established, the company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with the restructuring.
- Legal provisions – In relation to legal claim provisions and settlements, the relevant balances are transferred to Other liabilities at the point when the amount and timing of cash outflows are no longer uncertain. Settlements which are agreed for amounts in excess of existing provisions are reflected as increases in Other liabilities.

Further information on provisions can be found in Provisions.

##### Goodwill

The measurement of goodwill at initial recognition is described in the Basis of consolidation note. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Further information on goodwill can also be found in Goodwill.

##### Intangible assets other than goodwill

Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. The useful lives are evaluated annually. Intangible assets are initially capitalized at cost, with the exception of intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, which are capitalized at their acquisition date fair value.

The company expenses all research costs as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized as an intangible asset if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, the company has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development and can measure the attributable expenditure reliably.

The capitalized development expenditure comprises of all directly attributable costs (including the cost of materials and direct labor). Other development expenditures and expenditures on research activities are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization of capitalized development expenditure is charged to the Consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

Further information on intangible assets other than goodwill can be found in Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

##### Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets.

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or is a part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to sell.

If a discontinued operation is sold in stages as part of a single coordinated plan until it is completely sold, then the Investment in associate that is recognized upon sale of a portion that results in Philips having significant influence in the operation (rather than control) is continued to be treated as discontinued operation provided that the held for sale criteria are met.

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost of disposal. Any gain or loss from disposal, together with the results of these operations until the date of disposal, is reported separately as discontinued operations. The financial information of discontinued operations is excluded from the respective captions in the Consolidated financial statements and related notes for all periods presented. Comparatives in the Consolidated balance sheets are not represented when a non-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale. Comparatives are represented for presentation of discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of cash flows and Consolidated statements of income.

Adjustments in the current period to amounts previously presented in discontinued operations that are directly related to the disposal of a discontinued operation in a prior period, and for which no specific arrangements were made at the time of divestment, are classified separately in discontinued operations. Circumstances to which these adjustments may relate include resolution of uncertainties that arise from the terms of the disposal transaction, such as the resolution of purchase price adjustments and indemnifications, resolution of uncertainties that arise from and are directly related to the operations of the component before its disposal, such as environmental and assurance-type product warranty obligations retained by the company, and the settlement of employee benefit plan obligations provided that the settlement is directly related to the disposal transaction.

Further information on discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale can be found in Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale.

##### Impairment

###### Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require. In case of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use, either internal or external sources of information are considered indicators that an asset or a CGU may be impaired. In most cases the company identified its cash-generating units for goodwill at one level below that of an operating segment. Cash flows at this level are substantially independent from other cash flows and this is the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored by the Executive Committee. An impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated statements of income whenever and to the extent that the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit exceeds the unit’s recoverable amount, whichever is the greater, its value in use or its fair value less cost of disposal. Value in use is measured as the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Fair value less cost of disposal is measured as the amount obtained from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction, less costs of disposal.

Further information on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use can be found in Goodwill and Intangible assets excluding goodwill respectively.

###### Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use, inventories and deferred tax assets

Non-financial assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use, inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with the greater of its value in use and fair value less cost of disposal. Value in use is measured as the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Fair value less cost of disposal is measured as the amount obtained from a sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction, less costs of disposal. If the carrying amount of an asset is deemed not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The review for impairment is carried out at the level where cash flows occur that are independent of other cash flows.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if and to the extent that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Reversals of impairment are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

###### Impairment of financial assets

The company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, contract assets, lease receivables, debt investments carried at fair value through Other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and amortized cost. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit risk exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (12-month ECLs). The company considers a financial asset to be in default when the counterparty is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the company in full or when the financial asset is past due. For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (lifetime ECLs). When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, the company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information, such as forecast economic conditions that affect the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

For all trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables, the company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring ECLs, which uses the lifetime ECL allowance. To measure the ECLs on trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables, the company takes into account credit-risk concentration, collective debt risk based on average historical losses, specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic conditions in a specific country or region, and other forward-looking information. Trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery of the asset, for example because of bankruptcy or other forms of receivership.

Further information on financial assets can be found in Other financial assets.

#### Other policies

##### Basis of consolidation

The Consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and all subsidiaries that the company controls, i.e. when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and in cases where Philips has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, Philips considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including the contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee, rights arising from other contractual arrangements and the company’s voting rights and potential voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

###### Loss of control

Upon loss of control, the company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising from the loss of control is recognized in the Consolidated statements of income. If the company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, such interest is measured at fair value at the date the control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as either an equity-accounted investee (associate) or as a financial asset, depending on the level of influence retained. Further information on loss of control can be found in Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale.

###### Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the company.

The company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

- the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
- the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; plus
- if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less
- the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the company incurs are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and initially is presented in Long-term provisions. When the timing and amount of the consideration become more certain, it is reclassified to Accrued liabilities. If the contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

Non-controlling interests are measured on the basis of their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Further information on business combinations can be found in Acquisitions and divestments.

###### Acquisitions of and adjustments to non-controlling interests

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognized. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.

###### Investments in associates (equity-accounted investees)

Associates are all entities over which the company has significant influence, but no control. Significant influence is presumed with a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights or when the company has board representation through which it is able to exercise significant influence. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of an investment includes the carrying amount of goodwill identified on acquisition. An impairment loss on such investment is allocated to the investment as a whole.

The company’s share of the net income of these companies is included in Investments in associates, net of income taxes, in the Consolidated statements of income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Dilution gains and losses arising from investments in associates are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income as part of Investments in associates, net of income taxes. When the company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term loans) is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Remeasurement differences of an equity stake resulting from gaining control over an investee that was previously recorded as an associate are recorded under Investments in associates.

Further information on investments in associates can be found in Interests in entities.

##### Foreign currencies

###### Foreign currency transactions

The financial statements of all group entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The euro (EUR) is the functional currency of the company and the presentation currency of the Group financial statements. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or the valuation in cases where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income, except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Foreign currency differences arising from translations are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income, except for equity investments measured at fair value through OCI which are recognized in Other comprehensive income. If there is an impairment which results in foreign currency differences being recognized, these differences are reclassified from Other comprehensive income to the Consolidated statements of income.

All foreign exchange differences are presented as part of Cost of sales, with the exception of tax items and financial income and expense, which are recognized in the same line item as they relate to in the Consolidated statements of income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date.

###### Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to euros at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to euros at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences arising upon translation of foreign operations into euros are recognized in Other comprehensive income, and presented as part of Currency translation differences in Equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to Non-controlling interests.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the Currency translation differences related to the foreign operation is reclassified to the Consolidated statements of income as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the respective proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to Non-controlling interests. When the company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to the Consolidated statements of income.

##### Financial instruments

###### Non-derivative financial assets

###### Recognition and initial measurement

Non-derivative financial assets are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases and sales of financial assets in the normal course of business are accounted for at the trade date. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Gains or losses, if any, are recorded in Financial income and expense. Non-derivative financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in the Consolidated statements of income.

###### Classification and subsequent measurement

The company classifies its non-derivative financial assets in the following measurement categories:

- those that are measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI (FVTOCI) or profit or loss (FVTPL);
- those that are measured at amortized cost.

In assessing the classification, the company considers the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in either the Consolidated statements of income or in Other comprehensive income (OCI). For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVTOCI. For investments in these equity instruments, the company does not subsequently reclassify between FVTOCI and FVTPL. For debt investments, assets are reclassified between FVTOCI, FVTPL and amortized cost only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Non-derivative financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets.

###### Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances, certain money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Further information on cash and cash equivalents can be found in Cash flow statement supplementary information.

###### Receivables

Receivable balances that are held to collect are subsequently measured at amortized cost and are subject to impairment as explained in the impairment section of this note. Receivables that are held to collect and sell are subsequently measured at FVTOCI and are also subject to impairment. The company derecognizes receivables on entering into factoring transactions if the company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards or if the company does not retain control over those receivables. Further information on receivables can be found in Receivables.

###### Other (non-)current financial assets

Other (non-)current financial assets include both debt instruments and equity instruments.

Debt instruments include those subsequently carried at amortized cost, those carried at FVTPL and those carried at FVTOCI. Classification depends on the company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost and are subject to impairment. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Financial income using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVTOCI and are subject to impairment. Movements in the carrying amounts are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to the Consolidated statements of income. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Financial income using the effective interest rate method.

Debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in the Consolidated statements of income in the period in which it arises.

Equity investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Equity instruments that are held for trading are measured at FVTPL. For equity instruments that are not held for trading, the company makes an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition whether to account for the equity investment at FVTPL or FVTOCI. Where management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the Consolidated statements of income following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in the Consolidated statements of income when the company’s right to receive payments is established.

Further information on other (non-)current financial assets can be found in Other financial assets

###### Debt and other financial liabilities

Debt and other financial liabilities, excluding derivative financial liabilities and provisions, are initially measured at fair value and, in the case of debt and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Debt and other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

Debt and other financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Further information on debt and other financial liabilities can be found in Debt.

###### Equity

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Where the company purchases the company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental transaction costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company’s equity holders.

Call options on own shares are treated as equity instruments.

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared and approved by shareholders. The income tax consequences of dividends are recognized when a liability to pay the dividend is recognized.

Further information on equity can be found in Equity.

###### Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The company uses derivative financial instruments principally to manage its foreign currency risks and, to a more limited extent, interest rate and commodity price risks. All derivative financial instruments are accounted for at the trade date and classified as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the maturity date or the early termination date. The company measures all derivative financial instruments at fair value that is derived from the market prices of the instruments, calculated on the basis of the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread, credit spreads and foreign exchange rates, or derived from option pricing models, as appropriate. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income, except for derivatives that are highly effective and qualify for cash flow or net investment hedge accounting.

Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts attributable to forward points and changes in the time value of the option contracts are deferred in the cash flow hedges reserve within equity. The deferred amounts are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income against the related hedged transaction when it occurs.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in OCI until the Consolidated statements of income are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

The company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is established that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is expected that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the company continues to carry the derivative on the Consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in OCI are recognized immediately in the same line item as they relate to in the Consolidated statements of income.

Foreign currency differences arising upon retranslation of financial instruments designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly in the currency translation differences reserve through OCI, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

###### Offsetting and master netting agreements

The company presents financial assets and financial liabilities on a gross basis as separate line items in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Master netting agreements may be entered into when the company undertakes a number of financial instrument transactions with a single counterparty. Such an agreement provides for a net settlement of all financial instruments covered by the agreement in the event of default or certain termination events associated with any of the transactions. A master netting agreement may create a right to offset that becomes enforceable and affects the realization or settlement of individual financial assets and financial liabilities only following a specified termination event. However, if this contractual right is subject to certain limitations then it does not necessarily provide a basis for offsetting, unless both of the offsetting criteria are met, i.e. there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously.

##### Property, plant and equipment

The costs of property, plant and equipment comprise all directly attributable costs (including the cost of material and direct labor).

Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in Other business income. Costs related to repair and maintenance activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred unless leading to an extension of the original lifetime or capacity.

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Further information on property, plant and equipment can be found in Property, plant and equipment.

##### Leases

The company determines whether an arrangement constitutes or contains a lease at inception, which is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement constitutes or contains a lease if fulfillment is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that asset is not explicitly specified in the arrangement.

###### Company as a lessee

Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the company. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
- variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
- amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date is used, which is based on an assessment of interest rates the company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the Consolidated statements of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
- any initial direct costs;
- restoration costs.

The right-of-use assets are subsequently accounted for using principles for property, plant and equipment. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated statements of income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture considered to be of low value (i.e. less than EUR 5,000).

The company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal.

The company leases various items of real estate, vehicles and other equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension or termination options.

###### Company as a lessor

When the company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. Leases in which the company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. The company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease terms in the Statement of income.

The related year end disclosures pertaining to leases as lessor have been disclosed in respective notes according to the nature of the reported item. Below are the references with respect to IFRS 16 year-end disclosures as lessor:

- For disclosures on lease income and sublease income, refer to Income from operations;
- Other qualitative disclosures regarding the nature of lessor’s leasing activities and risk management, refer to Details of treasury and other financial risks.

##### Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include direct labor and fixed and variable production overheads, taking into account the stage of completion and the normal capacity of production facilities. Costs of idle facility and abnormal waste are expensed. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on sales in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Further information on inventories can be found in Inventories.

##### Employee benefit accounting

A defined-contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined-contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the Consolidated statements of income in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

A defined-benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined-contribution plan. Plans for which the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts, but to which it does pay non-fixed contributions, are also treated as a defined-benefit plan. The net pension asset or liability recognized in the Consolidated balance sheets in respect of defined-benefit post-employment plans is the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the projected defined-benefit obligation at the Consolidated balance sheets date. The defined-benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Recognized assets are limited to the present value of any reductions in future contributions or any future refunds. The net pension liability is presented as a long-term provision; no distinction is made for the short-term portion.

For the company’s major plans, a full discount rate curve of high-quality corporate bonds is used to determine the defined-benefit obligation. The curves are based on Willis Towers Watson’s rate methodology which uses data of corporate bonds rated AA or equivalent. For the other plans a single-point discount rate is used based on corporate bonds for which there is a deep market and on the plan’s maturity. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local sovereign curve and the plan’s maturity.

Pension costs in respect of defined-benefit post-employment plans primarily represent the increase of the actuarial present value of the obligation for post-employment benefits based on employee service during the year and the interest on the net recognized asset or liability in respect of employee service in previous years.

Remeasurements of the net defined-benefit asset or liability comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest). The company recognizes all remeasurements in Other comprehensive income.

The company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined-benefit plan when the settlement occurs. The gain or loss on settlement is the difference between the present value of the defined-benefit obligation being settled, as determined on the date of settlement, and the settlement price, including any plan assets transferred and any payments made directly by the company in connection with the settlement. Past service costs arising from the introduction of a change to the benefit payable under a plan or a significant reduction of the number of employees covered by a plan (curtailment) are recognized in full in the Consolidated statements of income.

Further information on post-employment benefit accounting can be found in Post-employment benefits.

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. The company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and incentives based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company’s shareholders after certain adjustments.

The company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, such as jubilee entitlements. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income in the period in which they arise.

Further information on other employee benefits can be found in Provisions in the Other provisions section.

##### Share-based payment

###### Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Share-based compensation.

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as personnel expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the award. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized at the beginning and end of that period.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant-date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant-date fair value. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met.

When an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and shares is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (further details are given in Earnings per share).

##### Financial income and expenses

Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested (including financial assets), dividend income, net gains on the disposal of financial assets, net fair value gains on financial assets at FVTPL, net gains on the remeasurement to fair value of any pre-existing interest in an acquiree, and net gains on foreign exchange impacts that are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis in the Consolidated statements of income, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in the Consolidated statements of income on the date that the company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

Financial expenses comprise interest expenses on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, losses on disposal of financial assets, net fair value losses on financial assets at FVTPL, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables), net interest expenses related to defined-benefit plans, interest on lease liabilities and net losses on foreign exchange impacts that are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

Further information on financial income and expenses can be found in Financial income and expenses.

##### Government grants

Grants from governments are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the Consolidated statements of income as a reduction of the related costs over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Grants related to assets are deducted from the cost of the asset and presented net in the Consolidated balance sheets.

##### Financial guarantees

The company recognizes a liability at the fair value of the obligation at the inception of a financial guarantee contract. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation or the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization.

##### Cash flow statements

Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency are translated into the company’s functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the cash flow. Cash flows from derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. Cash flows from other derivative instruments are classified as investing cash flows.

##### Segment information

Operating segments are components of the company’s business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Executive Committee of the company). The Executive Committee decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance. Reportable segments comprise the operating segments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care businesses and Personal Health businesses. Additionally, besides these reportable segments, segment Other exists. Segment accounting policies are the same as the accounting policies applied by the company.

##### Earnings per Share

The company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprises forward purchase contracts, restricted shares, performance shares and share options granted to employees.

Further information on earnings per share can be found in Earnings per share.

#### New standards and interpretations

##### IFRS accounting standards adopted as from 2020

The company applies, for the first time, certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

###### Amendment to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. This amendment had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company, but may impact business combinations entered into by the company in future periods.

###### Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainty about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments have no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company as it does not have interest rate hedge relationships that are impacted by this.

###### Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the company.

###### Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 29 March 2018

The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. This will affect those entities which developed their accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. This revision had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company.

###### Amendment to IFRS 16 Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions

On May 28, 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the Covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. This amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company.

##### IFRS accounting standards to be adopted from 2021 onwards

A number of amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the company beginning on or after January 1, 2021, or later periods, and the company has not early-adopted them. The changes to those standards are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

### 2COVID-19

In 2020 COVID-19 affected the global economy and the company’s results, balance sheet and cash flows presented in these Consolidated financial statements. A discussion on the impact of the pandemic on the company's financial performance and risks is included in Financial performance and Risk management. The impact of the pandemic on significant accounting matters is disclosed below. Other areas have also been affected, but did not have a significant impact and are therefore not separately disclosed.

#### Estimates and uncertainties

As a result of the uncertainties associated with the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in line with existing accounting policies, the company regularly updates its significant assumptions and estimates to support the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. In relation to areas of judgment and estimates as disclosed in our Significant accounting policies, those which are primarily impacted by COVID-19 include impairment testing, valuation of inventories, measurement of financial instruments and the determination of fair values (for example fair values of acquired identifiable intangible assets, contingent considerations and certain investments). These significant judgments and estimates are further discussed below.

#### Impairment testing

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets not ready for use

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require such testing. For the Image-Guided Therapy cash-generating unit (CGU), the Sleep & Respiratory Care (S&RC) CGU, and a number of other smaller CGUs, such indicators were identified during the year because of deterioration in the economic environment or market in which these CGUs operate. The impairment tests performed for these CGUs did not result in any impairments.

In addition, for all goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use an annual impairment test was performed during Q4 2020.

In determining the recoverable amounts, consideration was given to the uncertainties embedded in the discounted cash flow projections and the appropriateness of key assumptions used in light of the pandemic, which included increased uncertainties around forecasted revenues, higher volatility in applied discount rates and other factors. Further details on these impairment procedures and the results thereof are disclosed in Goodwill and Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

Impairment testing of non-financial assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use, inventories and deferred tax assets

Similar to the above, for certain non-financial assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use, inventories and deferred tax assets, the changes in the economic environment provided an indicator that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Uncertainties in the market and volatility in the financial markets resulted in increased levels of judgment in both the value-in-use calculations as well as in determining the fair value less costs of disposal of such an asset. These uncertainties were reflected in updated assessments on the future use of such assets (including useful life assessments) and in updated input parameters used in underlying calculations, which included using revised expected future cash flows due to the pandemic. Further details on the results of these impairment procedures are disclosed in Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

Impairment testing of financial assets

The company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, contract assets, lease receivables and debt investments carried at fair value through Other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and amortized cost. In line with the accounting policy disclosed in the Significant accounting policies, for all financial assets to which the company applies the simplified approach, an updated assessment was made on the lifetime ECL allowance, taking into the account uncertainties resulting from the pandemic. In addition, for those assets to which the company does not apply the simplified approach to measuring ECLs, an assessment was made whether a significant increase in credit risk was observed as a result of COVID-19. In those instances, the allowance was updated to also reflect lifetime ECLs.

In making these assessments, all reasonable and supportable information was considered. Examples of indicators identified included counterparties breaching their agreed payment terms and counterparties requesting extended payment terms or (partial) waivers. In addition, forward looking elements were taken into consideration such as a deterioration of the credit rating of a counterparty or changes in risks associated with specific countries or regions due to COVID-19. Albeit the methodology applied is consistent with prior periods, certain of these factors triggered by the pandemic required an updated assessment of the ECLs. Relevant financial assets were individually assessed and additional ECL allowances were accounted for in those cases where deemed necessary. The overall impact of the increase in the level of ECLs did not have a material impact on the company’s financial assets. The company further concluded that none of the agreed changes with counterparties resulted in a substantial modification of such instruments under IFRS 9 Financial instruments.

#### Fair values

Certain of the company’s financial instruments and other assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. The fair values included in these Consolidated financial statements reflect market participant views and market data at the measurement date under current market conditions. This implies that due to the increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets due to the pandemic, these fair values are subject to significant estimates, in particular for assets and liabilities for which the fair value is based on unobservable inputs (sometimes referred to as Level 3 measurements). Expectations around future cash flows, discount rates and other significant valuation inputs related to the asset or liability as at December 31, 2020 have become subject to a greater level of uncertainty. The fair values determined taking into account these revised input parameters have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. There was no significant impact as a result of the pandemic on any individual assets or liabilities carried at fair value. Further reference is made to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Property, plant and equipment

In addition to what has been described above in terms of impairment testing of non-financial assets, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a significant increase in demand for our products mainly in the Connected Care businesses. As a result, the company made investments during the financial year in order to meet this demand. These investments include, amongst others, additions to existing production lines, establishing new production lines and investing in company-specific tooling used in the supply chain. Assessing the useful life of these new investments involves a significant amount of judgment, due to the volatility in the demand forecast that affects the expected period over which these assets will be used. In certain cases, this assessment has resulted in new machinery and installations being depreciated over a useful life that is less than three years, whereas the normal useful life of these assets would be between 5 and 10 years. In addition, the general market volatility increased the level of judgment involved in determining the residual values of certain of these assets. Neither of these developments did result in significant changes to our Property, plant and equipment.

#### Employee benefit accounting

COVID-19 also had an impact on the company’s long-term employee benefits, including defined-benefit plans. Volatility in the financial markets following the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in increased judgment being required in setting key parameters used in determining these benefits, including discount rates, mortality rates, retention rates and other assumptions supporting the actuarial calculations. In those situations, we established the most appropriate parameters with the help of actuaries and taking into consideration relevant economic conditions. For our funded defined-benefit plans, increased fluctuations in the fair values of the plan assets during the financial year ended December 31, 2020 also caused further volatility in the net obligation. Neither of these impacts were significant for the balances as of December 31, 2020.

#### Provisions other than employee benefits

As described in the Significant accounting policies, the accounting for provisions requires significant judgment around the amount and timing of the outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligation. As a result of the pandemic, volatility increased in our supplier commitments and customer demand for many of our businesses, requiring the company to assess its related contracts for onerous elements. In doing so, the company applied assumptions and estimates in relation to future demand forecasts, expected costs of termination and the likely outcomes of ongoing negotiations with suppliers. This has resulted in the recognition of an onerous contract provision, for which reference is made to the disclosure on Other provisions included in Provisions. No other provisions were materially impacted by COVID-19.

#### Inventories

The company’s inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In determining the appropriate level of provision for obsolescence, changes in the aging of inventory items in certain businesses and markets due to COVID-19 were considered throughout the year. In addition, current and potential excess stock levels were analyzed, incorporating the impact COVID-19 had on demand in 2020 as well as revised expectations of future demand for these items. No material change in the provision for obsolescence was identified as a result of these procedures.

Due to the changes in demand and therefore production levels within several of our businesses, the company evaluated its standard cost prices, particularly in relation to the absorption of overhead costs and additional costs. The company assessed, based on currently available information, that the change in demand and production levels is not expected to be a sustained change and therefore the standard cost prices were not updated relating to those elements.

#### Taxes

In response to COVID-19, many governments have changed tax regulations aimed at deferring tax filings and payments, providing tax relief and offering financial assistance. Apart from applied payment deferrals on social contribution payments, the company has no material payment deferrals. In determining the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the company took into account the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in its projections on the results of future operations that will generate taxable income, which did not result in a significant impact.

#### Treasury and other financial risks

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risks. In terms of liquidity risk, the company has taken a number of different measures to manage this risk. In addition to the successful placement of EUR 1,000 million fixed-rate notes in March (of which EUR 500 million Sustainability Innovation notes), the company also completed the remainder of the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program that was announced on January 29, 2019 through individual forward contracts, with settlement dates extending into the second half of 2021. Furthermore, the 2019 Annual Incentive of the Board of Management and the final dividend declared against the net income of 2019 were settled in shares instead of cash. Overall, the company has a solid liquidity position and the company’s liquidity risk management procedures have not changed significantly because of COVID-19. No significant concentration risks have been identified as a result of COVID-19 and the company continues to have access to its existing lines of credit. These lines of credits, along with other financial risks to which Philips is exposed, are disclosed in Details of treasury and other financial risks. Apart from the above measures, COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on other financial risks, including how we manage those.

For the definition and reconciliation of the most directly comparable IFRS measure, refer to Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.3)For reconciliation Adjusted EBITA, refer to the following table.4)In 2019 Philips’ Emerging Businesses were moved out of segment Other into segment Diagnosis & Treatment to enable these businesses with better access to downstream capabilities. While these businesses remain in (semi-)incubator phase, in 2020 they received a corporate funding out of segment Other of EUR 38 million (2019: EUR 54 million) to support them during their emerging idea-to-market business phase.

As required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments, Philips operating segments are Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care businesses and Personal Health businesses, each being responsible for the management of its business worldwide.

Philips focuses on improving people’s lives through meaningful innovation across the health continuum – from healthy living and prevention to diagnosis, treatment and home care. The Diagnosis & Treatment unites the businesses related to the promise of precision diagnosis and disease pathway selection, and the businesses related to image-guided, minimally invasive treatments. The Connected Care businesses focuses on patient care solutions, advanced analytics and patient and workflow optimization inside and outside the hospital, and aims to unlock synergies from integrating and optimizing patient care pathways, and leveraging provider-payer-patient business models. The Personal Health businesses focuses on healthy living and preventative care.

The Executive Committee of Philips is deemed to be the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for IFRS 8 segment reporting purposes. The key segmental performance measure is Adjusted EBITA*), which Management believes is the most relevant measure to evaluate the results of the segments.

The term Adjusted EBITA*) is used to evaluate the performance of Philips and its segments. EBITA*) represents Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITA*) represents EBITA *)excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.

Adjusted EBITA*) is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITA*) to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, for the years indicated. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

### 5Acquisitions and divestments

#### 2020

##### Acquisitions

Philips completed three acquisitions in 2020. The acquisitions involved an aggregated net cash outflow of EUR 259 million and a contingent consideration of EUR 70 million at fair value. The company recognized an aggregated Goodwill of EUR 175 million, Other intangible assets of EUR 184 million and Deferred tax liabilities generated from the Intangible assets of EUR 45 million.

Opening balance positions are provisional and subject to final purchase price adjustments, which will be finalized in 2021. The primary provisional accounts subject to change are mainly related to the valuation of the intangible assets and goodwill, as the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the intangible assets and goodwill assumed are preliminary.

Intact Vascular, Inc. (Intact Vascular) was the most notable acquisition and is discussed below. The remaining two acquisitions involved an aggregated net cash outflow of EUR 28 million. The two acquisitions resulted in an increase in Goodwill of EUR 20 million. Other intangible assets and the related Deferred tax liabilities increased by EUR 15 million and EUR 2 million respectively.

##### Intact Vascular

On September 4, 2020, Philips acquired all shares of Intact Vascular, headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Intact Vascular is a developer of medical devices for minimally invasive peripheral vascular surgery. Philips acquired Intact Vascular to expand its portfolio of minimally invasive therapy options for Peripheral Artery Disease with the Tack Endovascular System, an implant that restores blood flow in small limb vessels, promotes healing and preserves limbs. The Company has purchased shares for an amount of EUR 241 million cash and a contingent consideration of EUR 70 million.

As of the acquisition date, Intact Vascular forms part of the Image-guided therapy business portfolio of the Diagnosis & Treatment segment.

In 2020, acquisition-related costs of EUR 2 million were recognized in General and administrative expenses.

The preliminary condensed opening balance sheet of Intact Vascular was as follows:

Intact Vascular

Total identifiable net assets at fair value | 156
Goodwill arising on acquisition | 155
Total purchase on acquisition | 311
Of which: |
Purchase consideration transferred | (241)
Provision for contingent consideration | (70)

Goodwill recognized in the amount of EUR 155 million mainly represents revenue synergies expected from the combination of Philips’ interventional imaging platform and diagnostic and therapeutic devices with Intact Vascular’s unique, specialized implantable device to optimize the treatment of patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). Intact Vascular Goodwill is not tax deductible.

The provision for contingent consideration represents a Long-term provision of EUR 70 million, due in 2022 and 2023. The contingent consideration is based on a specified percentage of forecast revenue share, for which the maximum amount is unlimited. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is re-measured at each reporting period. Therefore, any changes in the fair value impacts reported earnings in each reporting period, thereby resulting in variability in earnings. For more details about the fair value measurements please refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Other intangible assets were comprised of the following:

Intact Vascular

in millions of EUR unless otherwise stated

| amount at acquisition date | amortization period in years
--- | --- | ---
Technology | 160 | 14
Other | 9 | 14
Total other intangible assets | 169 |

The fair value of Technology is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participants' expectations of the cash flows associated with that asset over its remaining useful life. The fair value of Technology is based on an estimate of positive future cash flows associated with incremental profits related to excess earnings, discounted at a rate of 15.0%. The line Other includes the Intact Vascular trademarks; Tack Endovascular System and Tack.

The opening balance position represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition. The final determination of the fair market values will be completed in 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the intangible assets and goodwill are preliminary.

Intact Vascular is an early stage revenue acquisition. As of the acquisition date, Intact Vascular contribution to sales and net income was not material. The same applies to the combined entity for the reporting period as though the acquisition date had been as of the beginning of the reporting period.

##### Divestments

Philips did not complete any divestments in 2020.

##### Future ownership of Domestic Appliances business

On January 28, 2020, Philips announced that it will review options for future ownership of its Domestic Appliances business belonging to Personal Health.

Under the IFRS 5 assessment Philips has determined that Domestic Appliances business does not qualify as held for sale as of December 31, 2020. Philips concluded that the business as per December 31, 2020 is not available for immediate sale in its present condition to a third party. The Domestic Appliances business had EUR 2.2 billion sales in 2020. Following the disentanglement of the Domestic Appliances business, the retained Personal Health businesses will continue to play an important role in the company’s integrated health continuum approach through connected products and solutions to support the health and well-being of people.

#### Information related to non-controlling interests

As of December 31, 2020, six consolidated subsidiaries are not wholly owned by Philips (December 31, 2019: six). In 2020, Sales to third parties and Net income for these subsidiaries in aggregate are EUR 468 million (December 31, 2019: EUR 581 million) and EUR 6 million (December 31, 2019: EUR 9 million) respectively.

#### Investments in associates

Philips has investments in a number of associates. None of them are regarded as individually material. During 2020, Philips purchased 6 investments in associates, which involved an aggregate amount of EUR 37 million.

#### Involvement with unconsolidated structured entities

Philips founded three Philips Medical Capital (PMC) entities, in the United States, France and Germany, in which Philips holds a minority interest. Philips Medical Capital, LLC in the United States is the most significant entity. PMC entities provide healthcare equipment financing and leasing services to Philips customers for diagnostic imaging equipment, patient monitoring equipment, and clinical IT systems.

The company concluded that it does not control, and therefore should not consolidate the PMC entities. In the United States, PMC operates as a subsidiary of De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. The same structure and treatment is applied to the PMC entities in the other countries, with other majority shareholders. Operating agreements are in place for all PMC entities, whereby acceptance of sales and financing transactions resides with the respective majority shareholder. After acceptance of a transaction by PMC, Philips transfers control and does not retain any obligations towards PMC or its customers, from the sales contracts.

At December 31, 2020, Philips’ shareholding in Philips Medical Capital, LLC had a carrying value of EUR 26 million (December 31, 2019: EUR 25 million).

The company does not have any material exposures to losses from interests in unconsolidated structured entities other than the invested amounts.

In 2020 revisions to EPD's forecast due to delays in commercialization caused by the need to do more work on the maturity of the technology resulted in a EUR 101 million decrease in the fair value of the respective contingent consideration liability and is reflected in Other business income. For more details on the contingent consideration updates, please refer to Provisions.

Impairment of goodwill is disclosed in detail in the goodwill section, please refer to Goodwill.

In 2020, Financial income and expenses decreased by EUR 73 million year-on-year, mainly due to fair value gains of EUR 133 million from investments in limited life funds (mainly Gilde Healthcare) and other investments recognized at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value gain from investments in limited life funds is caused by IPO’s by certain of the investments held by the limited life funds. Net interest expenses in 2020 was EUR 10 million lower than in 2019, mainly due to lower interest expenses on net debt*) and interest expenses on pensions. Dividend income from investments decreased by EUR 49 million versus prior year.

In 2019, Financial income and expenses were EUR 117 million, which was EUR 97 million lower than in 2018 mainly due to dividend income from investments, while 2018 included financial charges of EUR 46 million related to bonds redemptions. Net interest expense in 2019 was EUR 12 million higher than in 2018, mainly due to higher interest expenses on net debt*).

### 9Income taxes

The income tax expense of continuing operations amounted to EUR 284 million (2019: EUR 337 million, 2018 EUR 193 million).

The components of income before taxes and income tax expense are as follows:

Philips’ operations are subject to income taxes in various foreign jurisdictions. The statutory income tax rate varies per country, which results in a difference between the weighted average statutory income tax rate and the Netherlands’ statutory income tax rate of 25.0% (2019: 25.0% 2018: 25.0%).

A reconciliation of the weighted average statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate of continuing operations is as follows:

Philips Group

Effective income tax rate

in %

| 2018 | 2019 | 2020
--- | --- | --- | ---
Weighted average statutory income tax rate in % | 24.9 | 25.2 | 25.0
Recognition of previously unrecognized tax loss and credit carryforwards | (0.4) | (3.9) | (0.4)
Unrecognized tax loss and credit carryforwards | 0.5 | 0.1 | 0.4
Changes to recognition of temporary differences | (0.3) | 2.1 | (1.3)
Non-taxable income and tax incentives | (11.9) | (9.5) | (10.8)
Non-deductible expenses | 3.7 | 5.3 | 5.8
Withholding and other taxes | 4.5 | 3.7 | 0.5
Tax rate changes | 1.8 | (0.1) | (0.9)
Prior year tax | (1.3) | 0.6 | (0.1)
Tax expense (benefit) due to change in uncertain tax treatments | (8.6) | (1.6) | 0.9
Others, net | (0.1) | 0.2 | (0.1)
Effective income tax rate | 12.8 | 22.1 | 19.0

The effective income tax rate is lower than the weighted average statutory income tax rate in 2020 mainly due to recurring favorable tax incentives relating to R&D investments and export activities, and one-off benefits from a decrease in tax rate and non-taxable results from participations, presented under Withholding and other taxes and Non-taxable income and tax incentives respectively.

The decrease in effective income tax rate compared to 2019 is mainly due to these one-off benefits. This effect is partly offset by lower non-cash benefits from business integration compared to 2019.

#### Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences, unused tax losses, and unused tax credits to the extent that realization of the related tax benefits is probable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the countries where the deferred tax assets originated and during the periods when the deferred tax assets become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Net deferred tax assets relate to the following underlying assets and liabilities and tax loss carryforwards (including tax credit carryforwards) and their movements during the years 2020 and 2019 respectively are presented in the tables below.

The net deferred tax assets of EUR 1,761 million (2019: EUR 1,721 million) consist of deferred tax assets of EUR 1,820 million (2019:EUR 1,865 million) and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 59 million (2019: EUR 143 million). Of the total deferred tax assets of EUR 1,820 million at December 31, 2020 (2019: EUR 1,865 million), EUR 35 million (2019: EUR 239 million) is recognized in respect of entities in various countries where there have been tax losses in the current or preceding period. Management’s projections support the assumption that it is probable that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize these deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2020 the temporary differences associated with investments, including potential income tax consequences on dividends, for which no deferred tax liabilities are recognized, aggregate to EUR 275 million (2019: EUR 327 million).

#### Tax risks

Philips is exposed to tax risks and uncertainty over tax treatments. For particular tax treatments that are not expected to be accepted by tax authorities, Philips either recognizes a liability or reflects the uncertainty in the recognition and measurement of its current and deferred tax assets and tax attributes. For the measurement of the uncertainty, Philips uses the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment. The expected liabilities resulting from the uncertain tax treatments are included in non-current tax liabilities (2020: EUR 291 million, 2019: EUR 186 million, increase due to lower tax losses or similar tax carryforwards that can be used if uncertain tax treatments were settled for the presumed amount at balance sheet date). The positions include, among others, the following:

#### Transfer pricing risks

Philips has issued transfer pricing directives, which are in accordance with international guidelines such as those of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development. In order to reduce the transfer pricing uncertainties, monitoring procedures are carried out by Group Tax to safeguard the correct implementation of the transfer pricing directives. However, tax disputes can arise due to inconsistent transfer pricing regimes and different views on "at arm's length" pricing.

#### Tax risks on general and specific service agreements and licensing agreements

Due to the centralization of certain activities (such as research and development, IT and group functions), costs are also centralized. As a consequence, these costs and/or revenues must be allocated to the beneficiaries, i.e. the various Philips entities. For that purpose, service contracts such as intra-group service agreements and licensing agreements are signed with a large number of group entities. Tax authorities review these intra-group service and licensing agreements, and may reject the implemented intra-group charges. Furthermore, buy in/out situations in the case of (de)mergers could affect the cost allocation resulting from the intragroup service agreements between countries. The same applies to the specific service agreements.

#### Tax risks due to disentanglements and acquisitions

When a subsidiary of Philips is disentangled, or a new company is acquired, tax risks may arise. Philips creates merger and acquisition (M&A) teams for these disentanglements or acquisitions. In addition to representatives from the involved business, these teams consist of specialists from various group functions and are formed, among other things, to identify tax risks and to reduce potential tax claims.

#### Tax risks due to permanent establishments

A permanent establishment may arise when a Philips entity has activities in another country, tax claims could arise in both countries on the same income.

#### Change in per share calculations

On June 26, 2020, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in shares only. The dividend was settled in July through the issuance of 18,080,198 new common shares. In accordance with IAS 33 Earnings Per Share, per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares for the share dividend in respect of 2019.

The adjustment resulted in basic earnings per common share for income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders for 2019 being adjusted downwards from EUR 1.31 to EUR 1.29 (2018: EUR 1.41 to EUR 1.38). Similarly, diluted earnings per common share for income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders for 2019 was adjusted downwards from EUR 1.30 to EUR 1.27 (2018: EUR 1.39 to EUR 1.37).

The basic earnings per common share for net income attributable to shareholders for 2019 was adjusted downwards from EUR 1.29 to EUR 1.27 (2018: EUR 1.18 to EUR 1.16). Similarly, diluted earnings per common share for net income attributable to shareholders for 2019 was adjusted from EUR 1.28 to EUR 1.25 (2018: EUR 1.16 to EUR 1.14).

Impairments | (1,528) | (1,080)
Book value | 8,654 | 8,014

In 2020, goodwill decreased by EUR 640 million, mainly due to translation differences which impacted goodwill denominated in USD and impairments totaling EUR 144 million related to Population Health Management (PHM). The decrease is partially offset by goodwill increases from the acquisition of Intact Vascular for an amount of EUR 155 million and other acquisitions as well as changes in the provisional opening balance sheet position for certain 2019 acquisitions (refer to Acquisitions and divestments).

Goodwill increased by EUR 83 million in 2019 primarily as a result of several acquisitions of which none were individually material as well as changes in the provisional opening balance sheet position for certain 2018 acquisitions. The further increase of EUR 165 million is mainly due to translation differences which impacted the goodwill denominated in USD. These increases are offset by goodwill impairments identified in the second half of 2019 totaling EUR 97 million in the Population Insights & Care/Vital Health (PIC/VH) and Neuro cash generating units (CGUs),

##### Goodwill reallocations in 2020 and 2019

In Q4 2020, the PHM CGU was split, resulting in a separate CGU for the Aging and Caregiving (ACG) business in anticipation of its future divestment. After the PHM impairment, remaining goodwill was allocated to the ACG CGU and remaining PHM CGU based on relative fair value. The goodwill allocated to the remaining PHM CGU is immaterial. An additional CGU change in 2020 resulted in a goodwill reallocation across certain CGUs, none of which had a significant impact on headroom or led to goodwill impairments.

In 2019 there were several changes to the CGU structure following the reorganization announced in January 2019 in order to align business with customer needs. This resulted in goodwill reallocations across CGUs, none of which had a significant impact on headroom or lead to goodwill impairments.

In addition, there were also certain CGU movements and/or combinations within businesses that did not result in a reallocation of goodwill, but resulted in changes to the business structure. This did not have a significant impact on headroom or lead to goodwill impairments. In Q4 2019 CGU PIC/VH and Aging and Caregiving combined into one Population Health Management (PHM) CGU. Unrelated to this combination, prior to this in the third quarter of 2019, the then PIC/VH CGU recognized a goodwill impairment, further explained below.

##### Impairments

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the PHM CGU was split, resulting in a separate CGU for the ACG business in anticipation of its future divestment. The impairment test indicated that the pre-split PHM’s carrying balance of EUR 303 million exceeded the recoverable amount of EUR 195 million, resulting in a EUR 108 million goodwill impairment charge. After the PHM impairment, further described below, remaining goodwill in the amount of EUR 63 million was allocated to the ACG CGU and remaining PHM CGU based on their relative fair value. Upon reallocation, standalone impairment tests were completed for ACG and the remaining PHM business. This second impairment test indicated that ACG’s carrying balance of EUR 186 million exceeded the recoverable amount of EUR 150 million resulting in a EUR 36 million impairment charge. In total, EUR 144 million of impairment charges were recorded within the Connected Care segment, in the line Other business expenses in the statement of income.

In accordance with IFRS, the fair value less cost of disposal methodology was the basis used to estimate recoverable amount for these CGUs, as at the date of the impairment tests described above, the fair value less cost of disposal was higher than the value-in-use for these CGUs. The decline in the value-in-use as compared to the fair value less cost of disposal is mainly due to revisions to the financial forecast of our Personal Emergency Response System business as a result of lower demand. The fair value, determined by Management, reflects the current operating environment and business outlook, including COVID-19 uncertainties, for the PHM and ACG CGU. Refer to the ‘Key assumptions- general’ for further detail on the fair value methodology.

Remaining ACG goodwill post-reallocation and impairment charges totaled EUR 12 million, and was subsequently classified as asset held for sale (AHFS) after the impairment. Refer to Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale for further detail. Remaining PHM goodwill post-reallocation totaled EUR 15 million.

During the third quarter of 2019, it was determined that the PIC/VH CGU within the segment Connected Care would miss its forecast mainly due to a deterioration in EBITA*) driven by a lower sales outlook in the former Wellcentive business within the CGU. The business offers services and solutions leveraging data, analytics and actionable workflow products for solutions to improve clinical and financial results. The value of the CGU, determined based on the value in use methodology, presented a recoverable amount of EUR 158 million based on the revised downward forecast, while the carrying amount totaled EUR 236 million as of September 30, 2019. The results of that impairment test indicated that the recoverable amount was lower than the carrying value, resulting in a EUR 78 million impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019, which was booked in the line Other business expenses in the statement of income. The value in use test used a pre-tax discount rate of 10.1%, which is based on the PIC/VH WACC rate for Q3 as calculated and published by Group Treasury.

During December 2019, it was determined that the Neuro CGU within the segment D&T would be shut down. The Neuro business provided an integrated neurology solution comprising full head HD EEG with diagnostic imaging to map brain activity and anatomy for a wide range of neuro disorders, and uses machine learning to improve diagnosis of various neuro disorders. The value of the CGU based on the value in use test presented a recoverable amount of nil, while the carrying amount of goodwill totaled EUR 19 million at the time of impairment. This resulted in a write-off of the full goodwill balance and a EUR 19 million impairment charge, which was booked in the line Other business expenses in the statement of income.

##### Goodwill impairment testing

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (typically one level below segment level, i.e. at the business level), which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes.

Goodwill allocated to the cash generating units Image-Guided Therapy, Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care is considered to be significant in comparison to the total book value of goodwill for the Group at December 31, 2020. The amounts associated as of December 31, 2020 are presented below:

Philips Group

Goodwill allocated to the cash-generating units

in millions of EUR

| 2019 | 2020
--- | --- | ---
Image-Guided Therapy | 2,673 | 2,610
Monitoring & Analytics | 1,360 | 1,246
Sleep & Respiratory Care | 2,071 | 1,915
Other (units carrying a non-significant goodwill balance) | 2,550 | 2,244
Book value | 8,654 | 8,014

Unless otherwise noted, the basis of the recoverable amount used in the annual impairment tests for the units disclosed further in this note is the value in use.

The fair value less cost to dispose methodology was used as a basis for the recoverable amount in the annual impairment test when greater than the value-in-use test. Refer to the ‘key assumptions- general’ section for further detail on the methodology.

As a result of the uncertainty associated with the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company includes various scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management’s best estimate is used as basis for the value-in-use test. While determining assumptions on COVID-19 recovery, management considered external factors including COVID-19 spread by country, specific dynamics for each CGU, other macroeconomic conditions as well as Philips specific assumptions, including expected customer capex spend and business market growth. Philips considered multiple scenarios for each market that included high, mid and low COVID recovery scenarios. The high recovery scenario suggests a more rapid recovery through the first half of the initial forecast period while the low scenario suggests a more prolonged recovery through the same period. By the end of the initial forecast period, all three scenarios converge to roughly the same market growth rates. Philips generally utilized the mid scenario forecasting short-term COVID-19 impacts with expected market recovery later in the initial forecast period. In addition, results of the goodwill impairment tests were analyzed to determine alignment with current market conditions. In the case that market data indicated that models didn’t fully consider impacts of COVID-19 within the forecasts, Philips would reexamine key inputs, such as forecast inputs or discount rates used. Upon this review, no additional changes were required. There were certain CGUs that were more negatively impacted by COVID-19 than others. Amongst those, IGT within the D&T segment as well as the CGUs within Personal Health were negatively impacted. Considering the current headroom in these CGUs, any reasonable change in these assumptions reflecting increased COVID-19 risks or prolonged impact would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value. Refer to COVID-19 for further detail on COVID-19 considerations.

##### Key assumptions - general

Key assumptions used in the value-in-use impairment tests for the units were sales growth rates, EBITA%*) and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using Royal Philips managements’ internal forecasts that cover an initial period from 2021 to 2024. Projections were extrapolated with stable or declining growth rates for a period of 3 years (2025-2027), after which a terminal value was calculated per 2028. For terminal value calculation, growth rates were capped at a historical long-term average growth rate. This represents a change in methodology from previous years as the explicit forecast increased from 3 to 4 years while the extrapolated growth period decreased from 4 to 3 years. The change in methodology from 2019 to 2020 was based on changes in the internal forecasting process.

The sales growth rates and EBITA*) used to estimate cash flows are based on past performance, external market growth assumptions and industry long-term growth averages. EBITA*) in all units mentioned in this note is expected to increase over the projection period as a result of volume growth and cost efficiencies.

The rates used for discounting the projected cash flows in goodwill impairment testing is based on a business weighted cost of capital (WACC), which in turn is based on business-specific inputs along with other inputs as mentioned below. The WACC is based on post-tax cost of equity and cost of debt, and is further calculated based on market data and inputs to accurately capture changes to the time value of money, such as the risk-free interest rate, the beta factor and country risk premium. In order to properly reflect the different risk-profiles of different businesses, a WACC is determined for each business. As such, the beta factor is determined based on a selection of peer companies, which can differ per business. Different businesses have different geographical footprints, resulting in business-specific inputs for variables like country risk.

As previously noted, the fair value less cost of disposal methodology was used as the recoverable amount when the amount was greater than the value-in-use, specifically for the PHM and ACG CGUs. The fair value is based on Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions and inputs used in the fair value less cost of disposal calculation include the trading and M&A peer groups used to determine the sales market multiples, the control premium applied to the trading sales market multiples. These inputs were applied against 2020 actual revenue for the CGUs. The trading and M&A peer groups were comprised of public companies or publicly disclosed transactions in similar industries, markets, geographies and other relevant characteristics. This trading and M&A peer group was derived from input by the business, M&A and Treasury and was evaluated and challenged for completeness and inclusion based on management’s industry experience as well as the current business and market environment. External sources were used to determine the enterprise value and revenue for the trading peer group. A control premium was added to the trading sales market multiple to simulate the premium a market participant would pay, representing the high end of the range. The control premium was sourced from global public M&A transactions from 2019 and 2020. The sales market multiple with no premium represents the low end of the range. The recoverable amount for the test was a point in between the high and low end of the range.

##### Key assumptions and sensitivity analysis relating to cash-generating units to which a significant amount of goodwill is allocated

Cash flow projections of Image-Guided Therapy, Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care are based on the key assumptions included in the table below, which were used in the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter. For certain CGUs, including M&A and S&RC, the initial forecast period projects negative growth as these businesses experienced benefits from COVID-19 in 2020.

The results of the annual impairment test of Image-Guided Therapy, Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care indicate that a reasonably possible change in key assumptions would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value.

##### Additional information relating to cash-generating units to which a non-significant amount relative to the total goodwill is allocated

For the other cash generating units to which a non-significant amount relative to the total goodwill is allocated, any reasonable change in assumptions would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value.

Acquisitions in 2020 involved Intangible assets of EUR 185 million in aggregate (2019: EUR 77 million). For more information, please refer to Acquisitions and divestments. Impairments in 2020 were EUR 235 million. The most notable impairment in 2020 is in the Diagnosis & Treatment segment, for technology assets in Image Guided Therapy-Systems (IGT-Systems) of EUR 92 million. This impairment charge is based on a trigger-based test on the CGU EPD which is a business category and an innovator in image-guided procedures for cardiac arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders). The impairment charge is a result of revisions to forecast due to delays in commercialization caused by the need to do more work on the maturity of the technology. The basis of the recoverable amount used in this test is the value in use and an after-tax discount rate of 6.92% is applied. After the impairment charge the recoverable amount of the related intangible assets is EUR 93 million.

Other notable impairments are in the Diagnosis & Treatment segment, for product development under construction in IGT-Devices of EUR 22 million and in the Connected Care segment, for product development in the business Therapeutic Care (TC) of EUR 23 million and in the business Sleep & Respiratory Care (S&RC) of EUR 23 million. The impairments in the IGT-Devices and TC business are the result of revision of strategies in the respective businesses and resulted in full impairment of the respective assets. The impairment in the business S&RC is due to delays in commercialization as a result of further product improvements in combination with expected COVID-19 market dynamics. After impairment the carrying value of the related intangible asset is EUR 70 million. The basis of the recoverable amount used in these tests is the value in use.

As a result of the uncertainty associated with the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company includes various scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management’s best estimate is used as basis for the value-in-use test. While determining assumptions on COVID-19 recovery, management considered external factors including COVID-19 spread by country, specific dynamics for each CGU, other macroeconomic conditions as well as Philips specific assumptions, including expected customer capex spend and business market growth. Philips considered multiple scenarios for each business that included high, mid and low COVID recovery scenarios. The high recovery scenario suggests a more rapid recovery, while the low scenario suggests a more prolonged recovery over several years. The mid scenario suggests short-term COVID-19 impacts with expected market recovery earlier than the low scenario. For the impairment tests on product development in the business S&RC Philips utilized a scenario forecasting short-term COVID-19 impacts, which means a dip in demand post-COVID, with expected market recovery later in the forecast period. For the EPD impairment test, Philips used the high recovery scenario. A reasonably prolonged recovery would not materially affect the outcome of the impairment test. In addition, there were certain businesses that were more negatively impacted by COVID-19 than others. Amongst those, IGT within the D&T segment as well as the businesses within Personal Health were negatively impacted. Considering the current headroom in these CGUs, any reasonable change in these assumptions reflecting increased COVID-19 risks or prolonged impact would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value. Refer to COVID-19 for further detail on COVID-19 considerations.

The amortization of intangible assets is specified in Income from operations.

The company’s investments in Other non-current financial assets mainly consist of investments in common shares of companies in various industries and investments in limited life funds. At December 31, 2020, equity investments of EUR 119 million (2019:EUR 45 million) are accounted under the FVTOCI category based on the company's election at initial recognition mainly because such investments are neither held for trading purposes nor primarily for their increase in value and the elected presentation is considered to reflect the nature and purpose of the investment.

In 2020, the main addition in Other non-current financial assets at FVTOCI is related to the company's investment in DC Health Digital Medical Technologies Co., Ltd in China of EUR 45 million. The main movement in Other non-current financial assets at FVTPL is related to the value adjustments through P&L, mainly due to fair value gains of EUR 133 million from investments in limited life funds (mainly Gilde Healthcare) and other investments. The fair value gains from investments in limited life funds is caused by certain IPO’s of investments held by the limited life funds.

When treasury shares are re-issued by the Company upon exercise of options (granted to employees up to 2013), the difference between the cost and the cash received is recorded in retained earnings. When treasury shares are delivered by the Company upon vesting of restricted shares or performance shares (granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans), the difference between the market price of the shares issued and the cost is recorded in retained earnings, and the market price is recorded in capital in excess of par value.

#### Share repurchase methods for share-based remuneration plans and capital reduction purposes

Philips uses different methods to repurchase shares in its own capital: (i) share buyback repurchases in the open market via an intermediary; (ii) repurchase of shares via forward contracts for future delivery of shares; and (iii) the unwinding of call options on own shares. During 2020, Philips used methods (i) and (ii) to repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes and methods (ii) and (iii) to repurchase shares for share-based compensation plans.

#### Forward share repurchase plans / contracts

##### Forward contracts to repurchase shares for share-based compensation plans

On January 29, 2020, Philips announced that it will repurchase up to 6 million shares to cover certain of its obligations arising from its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Under this program, Philips entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 174 million to acquire 5 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2021 and November 2022 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 34.85. No further transactions are expected in respect to this program.

On October 22, 2018, Philips announced and started a share repurchase program for an amount of up to EUR 174 million to cover its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans, after which it repurchased shares via an intermediary to allow for buybacks in the open market during both open and closed periods. On November 12, 2018, Philips announced to extend this program and entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 319 million to repurchase 10 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2019 and November 2021 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 31.89. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 8 million shares under this program were acquired (4 million of which were settled in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020). This resulted in EUR 256 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares (EUR 130 million and EUR 126 million pertaining to 2019 and 2020 respectively).

As of December 31, 2020, the remaining forward contracts to cover obligations under share-based remuneration plans related to 7 million shares.

##### Forward contracts to repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes

On January 29, 2019, Philips announced a share buyback program for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. Philips started the program in the first quarter of 2019. On March 23, 2020, Philips announced that 50.3% of the program had been completed through repurchases by an intermediary to allow for purchases in the open market during both open and closed periods, and that the remainder of the program would be executed through one or more individual forward transactions. Consequently, in the first half of 2020 Philips entered into four forward contracts for an amount of EUR 745 million to acquire 20 million shares with settlement dates varying between June 2021 and December 2021 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 36.40. As of December 31, 2020, all of these forward contracts were outstanding.

#### Share call options

In 2016 Philips purchased EUR and USD-denominated call options on its own shares to hedge options granted to employees up to 2013.

In 2020, the company unwound 498,144 EUR-denominated and 853,267 USD-denominated call options against the transfer of the same number of its own shares (1,351,411 shares) and an additional 31 million cash payment to the buyer of the call options.

On December 31, 2020, the remaining EUR-denominated options and USD-denominated options related to 670,456 and 274,315 shares respectively.

#### Shares cancellation

In June 2020 Philips completed the cancellation of 3,809,675 of its common shares (with a cost price of EUR 152 million). The cancelled shares were acquired as part of the Philips’ EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program announced on January 29, 2019.

#### Dividend distribution

##### 2020

In July 2020, Philips distributed a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 758 million including costs. The dividend was distributed in the form of shares only resulting in the issuance of 18,080,198 new common shares. Per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares for the share dividend in respect of 2019. Further reference is made to Earnings per share.

A proposal will be submitted to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to pay a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholders, against the net income of the Company for 2020.

##### 2019

In June 2019, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 775 million including costs. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 42% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 9,079,538 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 453 million (including costs).

##### 2018

In June 2018, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 738 million including costs. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend.

#### Limitations in the distribution of shareholders’ equity

As at December 31, 2020, pursuant to Dutch law, certain limitations exist relating to the distribution of shareholders’ equity of EUR 831 million. Such limitations relate to common shares of EUR 182 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained earnings of EUR 626 million and unrealized gains related to cash flow hedges of EUR 23 million. The unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 58 million and unrealized losses related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR 305 million qualify as revaluation reserves and reduce the distributable amount due to the fact that these reserves are negative.

The legal reserve required by Dutch law of EUR 626 million included under retained earnings relates to any legal or economic restrictions on the ability of affiliated companies to transfer funds to the parent company in the form of dividends.

As at December 31, 2019, these limitations in distributable amounts were EUR 1,870 million and related to common shares of EUR 179 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained earnings of EUR 713 million and unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 978 million. The unrealized losses related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR 303 million and unrealized losses related to cash flow hedges of EUR 24 million qualify as a revaluation reserve and reduce the distributable amount due to the fact that this reserve is negative.

#### Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests relate to minority stakes held by third parties in consolidated group companies.

#### Capital management

Philips manages capital based upon the IFRS measures, net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used for investing activities as well as the non-IFRS measure net debt*). The definition of this non-IFRS measure and a reconciliation to the IFRS measure is included below.

Net debt*) is defined as the sum of long and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Group equity is defined as the sum of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests. This measure is used by Philips Treasury management and investment analysts to evaluate financial strength and funding requirements. The Philips net debt*) position is managed with the intention of retaining a strong investment grade credit rating. Furthermore, Philips’ aim when managing the net debt*) position is dividend stability and a pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders*) (reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, is provided at the end of this note).

The environmental provisions include accrued costs recorded with respect to environmental remediation in various countries. In the United States, subsidiaries of the company have been named as potentially responsible parties in state and federal proceedings for the clean-up of certain sites.

Provisions for environmental remediation can change significantly due to the emergence of additional information regarding the extent or nature of the contamination, the need to utilize alternative technologies, actions by regulatory authorities as well as changes in judgments and discount rates.

Approximately EUR 91 million of the long-term provision is expected to be utilized after one to five years, with the remainder after five years. For more details on the environmental remediation reference is made to Contingent assets and liabilities.

##### The most significant proceedings

The majority of the movements in the above schedule are related to the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) antitrust litigation and investigation with the Italian Competition Authority (ICA).

##### Italian Competition Authority (ICA) investigation

In 2020, the company recorded a legal provision in relation to an investigation initiated by the Italian Competition authority in February 2018. The investigation focusses on whether the company and certain other healthcare companies violated antitrust laws in the maintenance services aftermarket for medical diagnostic imaging devices.

##### Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) antitrust litigation

In 2020 and 2018, the majority of the movements in relation to the CRT antitrust litigation were utilizations due to the transfer to other liabilities for which the company was able to reach a settlement. These settlements were subsequently paid out during the year or in the respective following year.

For more details, refer to Contingent assets and liabilities.

The company expects the provisions to be utilized mainly within the next three years.

#### Contingent consideration provisions

The provision for contingent consideration reflects the fair value of the expected payment to former shareholders of an acquiree for the exchange of control if specified future events occur or conditions are met, such as the achievement of certain regulatory milestones or the achievement of certain commercial milestones. The provision for contingent consideration can change significantly due to changes in the estimated achievement of milestones and changes in discount rates.

In 2020, the acquisitions through business combinations consists of a provision for contingent consideration of EUR 70 million relating to the acquisition of Intact Vascular.

##### EPD

In 2020, revisions to EPD’s forecast due to delays in commercialization caused by the need to do more work on the maturity of the technology, resulted in a EUR 101 million decrease in the fair value of the respective contingent consideration liability and is reflected in Other business income. For more details of the EPD contingent consideration refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

In 2018, the acquisitions through business combinations mainly consisted of a provision for contingent consideration of EUR 239 million relating to the acquisition of EPD.

The company expects the provisions to be utilized mainly within the next three years.

### 21Post-employment benefits

Employee post-employment benefit plans have been established in many countries in accordance with the legal requirements, customs and the local practice in the countries involved. The larger part of post-employment benefits are company pension plans, of which some are funded and some are unfunded. All funded post-employment benefit plans are considered to be related parties.

Most employees that take part in a company pension plan are covered by defined contribution (DC) pension plans. The main DC plans are in the Netherlands and the United States. The company also sponsors a number of defined benefit (DB) pension plans. The benefits provided by these plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation levels.

The company also sponsors a limited number of DB retiree medical plans. The benefits provided by these plans typically cover a part of the healthcare costs after retirement. None of these plans are individually significant to the company and are therefore not further separately disclosed.

The larger funded DB and DC plans are governed by independent Trustees who have a legal obligation to protect the interests of all plan members and operate under the local regulatory framework.

The DB plans in the United States (US) and Germany (DE) make up most of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) and the net balance sheet position. The company also has DB plans in the rest of the world (Other); however these are individually not significant to the company and do not have a significantly different risk profile that would warrant separate disclosure.

The adjacent table provides a break-down of the present value of the funded and unfunded DBO, the fair value of plan assets and the net balance sheet position in the US, DE and Other.

Present value of unfunded DBO | (148) | (141) | (351) | (344) | (166) | (147) | (666) | (633)
Total present value of DBO | (1,886) | (709) | (981) | (993) | (484) | (451) | (3,350) | (2,153)
Fair value of plan assets | 1,743 | 613 | 524 | 543 | 259 | 247 | 2,526 | 1,403
Net balance sheet position | (143) | (95) | (457) | (450) | (224) | (205) | (824) | (750)

The significant decrease in the present value of funded DBO in the United States in 2020 is a result of a partial settlement which is described in more detail below.

#### The United States

The US DB pension plans are closed plans without future pension accrual. For the funding of any deficit in the US plan the Group adheres to the minimum funding requirements of the US Pension Protection Act.

The assets of the US funded pension plans are in Trusts governed by fiduciaries. The non-qualified pension plans that cover accrual above the maximum salary of the funded qualified plan are unfunded.

The company’s qualified pension commitments in the United States are covered via the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) which charges a fee to US companies providing DB pension plans. The fee is also dependent on the amount of unfunded vested liabilities.

In continued efforts to de-risk the company’s existing and ongoing DB pension plans, the company executed a lump-sum window and annuity purchase program during 2020 regarding the US funded pension plan. Both events have been recognized as a settlement with a combined loss of EUR 21 million in 2020.

#### Germany

The company has several DB plans in Germany which for the largest part are unfunded, meaning that after retirement the company is responsible for the benefit payments to retirees.

Due to the relatively high level of social security in Germany, the company’s pension plans mainly provide benefits for the higher earners. The plans are open for future pension accrual. Indexation is mandatory due to legal requirements. Some of the German plans have a DC design, but are accounted for as DB plans due to a legal minimum return requirement.

Company pension commitments in Germany are partly protected against employer bankruptcy via the “Pensions-Sicherungs-Verein” which charges a fee to all German companies providing pension promises.

Philips is one of the sponsors of Philips Pensionskasse VVaG in Germany, which is a multi-employer plan. The plan is classified and accounted for as a DC plan.

#### Risks related to DB plans

DB plans expose the company to various demographic and economic risks such as longevity risk, investment risks, currency and interest rate risk and in some cases inflation risk. The latter plays a role in the assumed wage increase but more importantly in some countries where indexation of pensions is mandatory.

The company has an active de-risking strategy in which it constantly looks for opportunities to reduce the risks associated with its DB plans. Liability-driven investment strategies, lump sum cash-out options, buy-ins, buy-outs and a change to DC are examples of the strategy. The lump-sum window and cash-out and annuity-purchase program in the US pension plan in 2020 as mentioned above are examples of that strategy.

#### Investment policy in our largest pension plans

Pension fund trustees are responsible for and have full discretion over the investment strategy of the plan assets. The plan assets of the Philips pension plans are invested in well diversified portfolios. The interest rate sensitivity of the fixed income portfolio is closely aligned to that of the plan’s pension liabilities for most of the plans. Any contributions from the sponsoring company are used to further increase the fixed income part of the assets. As part of the investment strategy, any improvement in the funded ratio over time is used to further decrease the interest rate mismatch between the plan assets and the pension liabilities.

The plan assets in 2020 contain 32% (2019: 33%) unquoted plan assets. Plan assets in 2020 do not include property occupied by or financial instruments issued by the company.

#### Assumptions

The mortality tables used for the company’s largest DB plans are:

US: PRI-2012 Generational with MP2020 improvement scale + white collar adjustment
Germany: Heubeck-Richttafeln 2018 Generational

The weighted averages of the assumptions used to calculate the DBO as of December 31 were as follows:

Philips Group

Assumptions used for defined-benefit obligations in the United States, Germany and the rest of the world

in %

| US | Germany | Other | Total
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
| 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | 2020
Discount rate | 3.1% | 2.3% | 0.8% | 0.6% | 2.6% | 2.2% | 2.4% | 1.5%
Inflation rate | 2.0% | 2.0% | 1.8% | 1.6% | 1.9% | 1.7% | 1.9% | 1.7%
Salary increase | 0.0% | 0.0% | 2.5% | 2.5% | 2.8% | 2.7% | 2.6% | 2.5%

#### Sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates the approximate impact on the DBO from movements in key assumptions. The DBO was recalculated using a change in the assumptions of 1% which overall is considered a reasonably possible change. The impact on the DBO because of changes in discount rate is normally accompanied by offsetting movements in plan assets, especially when using matching strategies.

The average duration of the DBO of the DB plans is 12 years (US: 12, DE: 11 and Other: 10) as per 31 December 2020 (2019: 11 years).

Philips Group

Sensitivity of key assumptions

in millions of EUR

| 2019 | 2020
--- | --- | ---
Increase |  |
Discount rate (1% movement) | (340) | (226)
Inflation rate (1% movement) | 113 | 86
Salary increase (1% movement) | 23 | 16
Longevity1) | 90 | 51
Decrease |  |
Discount rate (1% movement) | 401 | 265
Inflation rate (1% movement) | (107) | (78)
Salary increase (1% movement) | (22) | (19)

1)The mortality table (i.e. longevity) also impacts the DBO. The above sensitivity table illustrates the impact on the DBO of a further 10% decrease in the assumed rates of mortality for the company’s major plans. A 10% decrease in assumed mortality rates equals improvement of life expectancy by 0.5 - 1 year.

#### Cash flows and costs in 2021

The company expects considerable cash outflows in relation to post-employment benefits which are estimated to amount to EUR 429 million in 2021, consisting of:

- EUR 30 million employer contributions to funded DB plans (US: EUR 0 million, DE: EUR 15 million, Other: EUR 15 million);
- EUR 38 million cash outflows in relation to unfunded DB plans (US: EUR 9 million, DE: EUR 19 million, Other: EUR 10 million); and
- EUR 361 million employer contributions to DC plans (NL: EUR 189 million, US: EUR 122 million, Other: EUR 50 million).

The service and administration cost for 2021 is expected to amount to EUR 42 million for DB plans. The net interest cost for 2021 for the DB plans is expected to amount to EUR 8 million. The cost for DC pension plans in 2021 is equal to the expected DC cash flow.

### 25Contingent assets and liabilities

#### Contingent assets

As per December 31, 2020, the company had no material contingent assets.

#### Contingent liabilities

##### Guarantees

Philips’ policy is to provide guarantees and other letters of support only in writing. Philips does not stand by other forms of support. The total fair value of guarantees recognized on the balance sheet amounts to EUR nil million for both 2019 and 2020. Remaining off-balance-sheet business related guarantees on behalf of third parties and associates decreased by EUR 5 million during 2020 to EUR 16 million (December 31, 2019: EUR 21 million).

##### Environmental remediation

The company and its subsidiaries are subject to environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws, the company and/or its subsidiaries may be required to remediate the effects of certain manufacturing activities on the environment.

##### Legal proceedings

The company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, regulatory and other governmental proceedings, including discussions on potential remedial actions, relating to such matters as competition issues, commercial transactions, product liability, participations and environmental pollution.

While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of all pending or threatened legal proceedings, regulatory and governmental proceedings, the company is of the opinion that the cases described below may have, or have had in the recent past, a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

###### Civil Litigation

###### Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT)

Following the public investigations into alleged anticompetitive activities in the Cathode Ray Tubes industry that began in 2007 and which resulted in a EUR 509 million fine against the company from the European Commission in December 2012, certain Philips Group companies were named as defendants in numerous (class action) lawsuits in the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Israel. Plaintiffs in these cases varied from classes of indirect and direct purchasers, state attorneys general, electronics retailers and TV and monitor manufacturers.

By the end of 2020, settlements have been reached in most of these cases. Litigation is still pending or threatened in relation to: (i) the revised US indirect purchaser class settlement which received approval from the District Court for the Northern District of California in July 2020 but is still subject to appeal, (ii) potential claims that may still be filed by certain objectors to the original US indirect purchaser class settlement (iii) a claim filed by the state attorney general for Puerto Rico, (iv) a claim filed by a monitor manufacturer in the UK, (v) a claim filed by three Brazilian TV manufacturers in the Netherlands, (vi) a consumer class action in Israel and (vii) a consumer action in the Netherlands.

In all cases, the same substantive allegations about anticompetitive activities in the CRT industry are made and damages are sought. Despite prior settlements, the company has concluded that due to the specific circumstances in the cases that settled, and the particularities and considerable uncertainty associated with the remaining matters, based on current knowledge, potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to some of the matters that are still pending.

In 2019, the company was served with a claim filed by LG Electronics (LGE) in the Seoul Central District Court. LGE claims restitution of approximately EUR 210 million, representing a portion of the fine that LGE paid to the European Commission relating to the joint venture LG. Philips Displays for which LGE and the company were jointly and severally liable. LGE alleges that based on the manner in which the fine was calculated, the company should have paid proportionally more than it currently has. In November 2020, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed LGE’s case. LGE has appealed the decision.

###### Public Investigations

In July 2018, the company was informed that the public prosecution service in Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian antitrust authority CADE were conducting an investigation into tender irregularities in the medical device industry in Brazil. Philips was one of a number of companies involved in the investigation. After conducting an internal investigation into the matter focusing on certain transactions that took place before 2011, the company reached a leniency agreement with the Brazilian public prosecution service in 2020 under which the company agreed to pay EUR 9.7 million. The investigation by CADE is ongoing.

In respect of the investigation in Brazil, the company also received inquiries from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US Department of Justice (DoJ). In addition, starting in June 2019, the company has engaged in discussions with and provided information to the SEC and DoJ regarding tender irregularities in the medical device industry in certain other jurisdictions. These interactions are ongoing and focus primarily on a number of compliance findings that the company is addressing in China and Bulgaria.

Given the uncertain nature of the relevant events and potential obligations, and based on current knowledge, the financial effect, if any, cannot be reliably estimated. The outcome of the uncertain events could have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

### 27Share-based compensation

The purpose of the share-based compensation plans is to align the interests of management with those of shareholders by providing incentives to improve the company’s performance on a long-term basis, thereby increasing shareholder value.

The company has the following plans:

- performance shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on performance and service conditions;
- restricted shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on a service condition; and
- options on its common shares, including the 2012 and 2013 Accelerate! grant.

Since 2013 the Board of Management and other members of the Executive Committee are only granted performance shares*). Performance shares as well as restricted shares can be granted to executives, certain selected employees and new employees. Prior to 2013 options were also granted.

Under the terms of employee stock purchase plans established by the company in various countries, employees are eligible to purchase a limited number of Philips shares at discounted prices through payroll withholdings.

Share-based compensation costs were EUR 121 million (2019: EUR 105 million; 2018: EUR 102 million). This includes the employee stock purchase plan of EUR 6 million, which is not a share-based compensation that affects equity. In the Consolidated statements of changes in equity EUR 116 million is recognized in 2020 and represent the costs of the share-based compensation plans. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for forfeiture. USD-denominated performance shares, restricted shares and options are granted to employees in the United States only.

#### Performance shares

The performance is measured over a three-year performance period. The performance shares granted in 2019 and 2018 have two performance conditions, relative Total Shareholders’ Return ('TSR') compared to a peer group of 20 companies including Philips (2019: 20 companies, 2018; 20 companies) and adjusted Earnings Per Share growth ('EPS'). For performance shares granted in 2020 an additional non-financial criterion was added around sustainability. The introduction of the sustainability criterion reflects a further alignment of the remuneration package for the Board of Management with Philips‘ mission, vision and aim to act as a responsible member of society. The criterion is based on three Sustainable Development Goals ('SDG') as defined by the United Nations that are included in Philips’ strategy on sustainability (refer to Environment, Social and Governance).

The performance shares vest three years after the grant date. The number of performance shares that will vest is dependent on achieving the performance conditions provided that the grantee is still employed with the company. For the performance shares with a grant date in 2019 or 2018 the two financial conditions, TSR and EPS, are equally weighted, while for the performance shares with a grant date in 2020 the TSR is weighted 50%, EPS 40% and SDG 10%.

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for actual performance of adjusted EPS growth and the actual realization of the SDGs since these are non-market performance conditions. It is not adjusted for non-vesting or extra vesting of performance shares due to a relative TSR performance that differs from the performance anticipated at the grant date, since this is a market-based performance condition.

The fair value of the performance shares is measured based on Monte-Carlo simulation, which takes into account dividend payments between the grant date and the vesting date by including reinvested dividends as well as the market conditions expected to impact relative Total Shareholders’ Return performance in relation to selected peers. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the 2020 grants:

- Risk-free rate: (0.74)%
- Expected share price volatility: 25%

The assumptions were used for these calculations only and do not necessarily represent an indication of Management’s expectation of future developments for other purposes. The company has based its volatility assumptions on historical experience measured over a ten-year period.

A summary of the status of the company’s performance share plans as of December 31, 2020 and changes during the year are presented below:

### 29Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will ultimately be realized by the company upon maturity or disposal. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value is not included if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. As reflected in the following table, equity instruments carried at FVTOCI were designated as such upon the adoption of IFRS 9 and upon initial measurement of new equity instruments. Remaining financial assets are mandatorily classified as FVTPL or FVTOCI.

1)For Cash and cash equivalents, Loans and receivables, Accounts payable, interest accrual and Debt (excluding corporate bonds and finance leases), the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the nature of these instruments (including maturity and interest conditions) and therefore fair value information is not included in the table above.

The fair value of Philips’ debt is estimated on the basis of the quoted market prices for certain issuances, or on the basis of discounted cash flow analysis based upon market rates plus Philips’ spread for the particular tenors of the borrowing arrangement. Accrued interest is not included within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

##### Level 1

Instruments included in level 1 are comprised primarily of listed equity investments classified as financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss or carried at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

##### Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives or convertible bond instruments) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 2. The fair value of derivatives is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread and foreign exchange rates. The valuation of convertible bond instruments uses observable market quoted data for the options and present value calculations using observable yield curves for the fair value of the bonds.

##### Level 3

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, such as third-party pricing information without adjustments, the instrument is included in level 3.

Philips recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

As part of the EPD acquisition Philips may be required to pay additional consideration to former shareholders if specified future events occur or conditions are met, such as the achievement of certain regulatory milestones or the achievement of certain commercial milestones. The fair value of this contingent consideration provision was determined using a probability-weighted and a risk-adjusted approach to estimate the achievement of future regulatory and commercial milestones, respectively. The discount rates used in the risk-adjusted approach are ranging from 7 to 9 percent and reflect the inherent risk related to achieving the commercial milestones. Both regulatory and commercial milestones are discounted for the time value of money at risk-free rates. The fair value measurement is based on management’s estimates and assumptions and hence classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For further information on this and other contingent consideration provisions (refer to Provisions)

A sensitivity analysis of the EPD contingent consideration provision at December 31, 2020 shows that if the probabilities of success for regulatory milestones are increased by 10 percentage points, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the provision would increase by approximately 9%. Similarly, a decrease in the probabilities of success for regulatory milestones by 10 percentage points would reduce the fair value by approximately 10%. If the discount rates for commercial milestones were to increase instantaneously by 100 basis points from the assumption at December 31, 2020, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the provision would decrease by approximately 3%, while a decrease in the discount rates of 100 basis points would increase the fair value by approximately 4%.

As a result of the uncertainty associated with the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company includes various scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management’s best estimate is used as basis for the fair values calculation of contingent considerations. While determining assumptions on COVID-19 recovery, management considered external factors including COVID-19 spread by country, specific dynamics, other macroeconomic conditions as well as Philips specific assumptions, including expected customer capex spend and business market growth. Philips considered multiple scenarios for each business that included high, mid and low COVID recovery scenarios. The high recovery scenario suggests a more rapid recovery, while the low scenario suggests a more prolonged recovery over several years. The mid scenario suggests short-term COVID-19 impacts with expected market recovery earlier than the low scenario. For the determination of the fair value of contingent considerations Philips generally utilized the high recovery scenario. A reasonably prolonged recovery would not materially affect the fair value of the contingent consideration liability. Refer to COVID-19 for further detail on COVID-19 considerations.

The section below elaborates on transactions in derivatives. Transactions in derivatives are subject to master netting and set-off agreements. In the case of certain termination events, under the terms of the master agreement, Philips can terminate the outstanding transactions and aggregate their positive and negative values to arrive at a single net termination sum (or close-out amount). This contractual right is subject to the following:

- The right may be limited by local law if the counterparty is subject to bankruptcy proceedings;
- The right applies on a bilateral basis.

### 30Details of treasury and other financial risks

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risks. This note further analyzes financial risks. Philips does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Information regarding financial instruments is included in Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk for the group is monitored through the Treasury liquidity committee, which tracks the development of the actual cash flow position for the group and uses input from a number of sources in order to forecast the overall liquidity position on both a short and longer term basis. Philips invests surplus cash in short-term deposits with appropriate maturities to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet liabilities when due and in money market funds.

The rating of the company’s debt by major rating agencies may improve or deteriorate. As a result, Philips’ future borrowing capacity may be influenced and its financing costs may fluctuate. Philips has various sources to mitigate the liquidity risk for the group. At December 31, 2020, Philips had EUR 3,226 million in cash and cash equivalents (2019: EUR 1,425 million), within which short-term deposits of EUR 1,983 million (2019: EUR 884 million). Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances, money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Philips pools cash from subsidiaries to the extent legally and economically feasible; cash not pooled remains available for the company’s operational or investment needs.

Philips faces cross-border foreign exchange controls and/or other legal restrictions in a few countries that could limit its ability to make these balances available on short notice for general use by the group.

Furthermore, Philips has a USD 2.5 billion Commercial Paper Programme and a EUR 1.0 billion committed revolving credit facility that can be used for general group purposes, such as a backstop for its Commercial Paper Programme. As of December 31, 2020, Philips did not have any amounts outstanding under any of these facilities. As per 9 March 2020, Philips has established a Euro Medium-Term Note (EMTN) program, a framework that facilitates the issuance of notes for a total amount up to EUR 10 billion of which two bonds have been issued in the year 2020 amounting to EUR 1 billion. A description of Philips’ credit facilities can be found in Debt.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, at December 31, 2020, Philips also held EUR 17 million of listed (level 1) equity investments at fair value (classified as other non-current financial assets).

The table below presents a summary of the Group’s fixed contractual cash obligations and commitments at December 31, 2020. These amounts are an estimate of future payments which could change as a result of various factors such as a change in interest rates, foreign exchange, contractual provisions, as well as changes in our business strategy and needs. Therefore, the actual payments made in future periods may vary from those presented in the following table:

1)Amounts in this table are undiscounted 2)This table excludes post-employment benefit plan contribution commitments and income tax liabilities in respect of tax risks because it is not possible to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the actual period of cash settlement.3)Long-term debt includes interest and the current portion of long-term debt and excludes lease obligations.4)Purchase obligations are agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding for the Group. They specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. They do not include open purchase orders or other commitments which do not specify all significant terms.

Philips has contracts with investment funds where it committed itself to make, under certain conditions, capital contributions to these funds of an aggregated remaining amount of EUR 132 million (2019: EUR 61 million). As at December 31, 2020 capital contributions already made to these investment funds are recorded as non-current financial assets.

Philips offers voluntary supply chain finance programs with third parties which provide participating suppliers the opportunity to factor their trade receivables at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. Philips continues to recognize these liabilities as trade payables and settles them accordingly on the invoice maturity date based on the terms and conditions these arrangements . At December 31, 2020 approximately EUR 227 million of the Philips account payable were transferred under these arrangements.

#### Leasing activities

The company leases various items of real estate, vehicles and other equipment where it acts as a lessee. The company has multiple extension and termination options in a number of lease contracts. These are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the company's operations. The options considered reasonably certain are part of lease liabilities. However, the options not considered reasonably certain are not part of lease liability, which exposes the company to potential future cash outflows amounting to EUR 328 million. In addition, the company is committed to leases not yet commenced to EUR 223 million. The company's lease contracts do not contain financial covenants.

The company enters into sale and lease back transactions primarily for its Sleep & Respiratory Care businesses. These transactions are accounted for at market value. The payments for these leases are considered in determining lease liabilities. Principal repayments are part of cash flows used for financing activities and interest payments are part of cash flows used for operating activities. The cash inflows arising from the sales transactions, are part of cash flows provided by financing activities. Lease payments under sale-and-leaseback arrangements for 2020 were EUR 112 million (2019: EUR 108 million). The remaining minimum payment under sales-and-leaseback arrangements included in lease obligations above are as follows:

Philips has leasing activities where it acts as lessor. In such arrangements, Philips provides the customer with a right to use of medical equipment in exchange for a series of payments. Residual values of assets under lease form an insignificant part of the carrying amount of those assets. Residual values are influenced by asset market prices and are therefore subject to management estimation. Residual values are at least reassessed on an annual basis, or more often when necessary. Reassessments are based on a combination of realization of assets sold, expert knowledge and judgment of local markets. For lease receivables, the value of unguaranteed residual values on December 31, 2020 was EUR 0.2 million (2019: EUR 0.7 million). In order to reduce residual value risk exposures there may be residual value guarantees or purchase options embedded in the customer contract. Credit risk for lease receivables is reviewed regularly and mitigated, for example, by retaining a security interest in the leased asset.

#### Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that reported financial performance or the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Philips operates in many countries and currencies and therefore currency fluctuations may impact Philips’ financial results. Philips is exposed to currency risk in the following areas:

- Transaction exposures, related to anticipated sales and purchases and on-balance-sheet receivables/payables resulting from such transactions
- Translation exposure of foreign-currency intercompany and external debt and deposits
- Translation exposure of net income in foreign entities
- Translation exposure of foreign-currency-denominated equity invested in consolidated companies
- Translation exposure to equity interests in non-functional-currency investments in associates and other non-current financial assets.

It is Philips’ policy to reduce the potential year-on-year volatility caused by foreign-currency movements on its net earnings by hedging the anticipated net exposure of foreign currencies resulting from foreign-currency sales and purchases. In general, net anticipated exposures for the Group are hedged during a period of 15 months in layers of 20% up to a maximum hedge of 80%. Philips’ policy requires significant committed foreign currency exposures to be fully hedged, generally using forwards. However, not every foreign currency can or shall be hedged as there may be regulatory barriers or prohibitive hedging cost preventing Philips from effectively and/or efficiently hedging its currency exposures. As a result, hedging activities cannot and will not eliminate all currency risks for anticipated and committed transaction exposures.

The following table outlines the estimated nominal value in millions of EUR for committed and anticipated transaction exposure and related hedges for Philips’ most significant currency exposures consolidated as of December 31, 2020:

Philips uses foreign exchange spot and forward contracts, as well as zero cost collars in hedging the exposure. The derivatives related to transactions are, for hedge accounting purposes, split into hedges of on-balance-sheet accounts receivable/ payable and forecasted sales and purchases. Changes in the value of on-balance-sheet foreign-currency accounts receivable/payable, as well as the changes in the fair value of the hedges related to these exposures, are reported in the income statement under costs of sales. Hedges related to forecasted transactions, where hedge accounting is applied, are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The results from such hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income within equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. As of December 31, 2020, a gain of EUR 23 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges (2019: EUR 24 million loss). The result deferred in equity will be released to earnings mostly during 2021 at the time when the related hedged transactions affect the income statement. During 2020, EUR nil million (2019: EUR 0.8 million net gain) was recorded in the consolidated statement of income as a result of ineffectiveness on certain anticipated cash flow hedges. Ineffectiveness arises when anticipated exposures are no longer expected to be highly probable. During 2020, a gain of EUR 28 million included in the cash flow hedges reserve in equity pertaining to changes in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts attributable to forward points and changes in the time value of option contracts was released to income statement.

The total net fair value of hedges related to transaction exposure as of December 31, 2020, was an unrealized gain of EUR 26 million. The estimated impact of a 10% increase of value of the EUR is estimated to be EUR 136 million. The following table contains an overview of the instantaneous 10% increase in the value of EUR against major currencies.

The EUR 136 million increase includes a gain of EUR 11 million that would impact the income statement, which would largely offset the opposite revaluation effect on the underlying accounts receivable and payable, and the remaining gain of EUR 125 million would be recognized in equity to the extent that the cash flow hedges were effective.

Foreign exchange exposure also arises as a result of inter-company loans and deposits. Where the company enters into such arrangements, the financing is generally provided in the functional currency of the subsidiary entity. The currency of the company’s external funding and liquid assets is matched with the required financing of subsidiaries, either directly through external foreign currency loans and deposits, or synthetically by using foreign exchange derivatives, including cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. In certain cases where group companies may also have external foreign currency debt or liquid assets, these exposures are also hedged through the use of foreign exchange derivatives. Changes in the fair value of hedges related to this exposure are recognized within financial income and expenses in the statements of income. When such loans would be considered part of the net investment in the subsidiary, net investment hedging would be applied.

Translation exposure of foreign-currency equity invested in consolidated entities is generally not hedged. If a hedge is entered into, it is accounted for as a net investment hedge. Net current-period change, before tax, of the currency translation reserve of negative EUR 1,040 million mainly relates to the development of the USD versus the EUR. At December 31, 2020, a weakening of USD by 10% versus the EUR would result in a decrease in the currency translation reserve in equity of approximately EUR 787 million, while a strengthening of USD by 10% versus the EUR would result in an increase in the currency translation reserve in equity of approximately EUR 962 million. Refer to the country risk paragraph for countries with significant foreign currency denominated equity invested.

As of December 31, 2020, cross-currency interest rate swaps for a nominal value of USD 500 million (liability at fair value: EUR 83 million) and external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 1,473 million (liability at book value: EUR 1,210 million) were designated as net investment hedges of our financing investments in foreign operations for an equal amount. During 2020 a total gain of EUR 0.2 million was recognized in the income statement as ineffectiveness on net investment hedges, arising from counterparty and own credit risk.

The total net fair value of financing derivatives as of December 31, 2020, was a liability of EUR 83 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 53 million in the value of the derivatives, including a EUR 86 million increase related to the USD.

As of December 31, 2019, cross-currency interest rate swaps for a nominal value of USD 500 million (liability at fair value: EUR 123 million) and external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 1,473 million (liability at book value: EUR 1,328 million) were designated as net investment hedges of our financing investments in foreign operations for an equal amount. During 2019 a total loss of EUR nil million was recognized in the income statement as ineffectiveness on net investment hedges, arising from counterparty and own credit risk.

The total net fair value of financing derivatives as of December 31, 2019, was a liability of EUR 123 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 7 million in the value of the derivatives, including a EUR 53 million increase related to the USD.

Philips does not currently hedge the foreign exchange exposure arising from equity interests in non-functional-currency investments in associates and other non-current financial assets.

#### Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Philips had, at year-end, outstanding debt of EUR 6,934 million (2019: EUR 5,447 million), which constitutes an inherent interest rate risk with potential negative impact on financial results. At year-end, Philips held EUR 3,226 million in cash and cash equivalents (2019: EUR 1,425 million), and had total long-term debt of EUR 5,705 million (2019: EUR 4,939 million) and total short-term debt of EUR 1,229 million (2019: EUR 508 million) At December 31, 2020, Philips had a ratio of fixed-rate long-term debt to total outstanding debt of approximately 79% compared to 87% one year earlier. Philips debt has a long maturity profile with an average tenor of long-term debt of 6.3 years with maturities up to 2042.

The table below provides the impact of a 1% increase/decrease of interest rates on the fair value of the debt and the annualized net interest expenses.

Global regulators and central banks have been driving international efforts to reform key benchmark interest rates (Interbank Offered Rate or IBOR rates). The market is therefore in transition to alternative risk-free reference rates (RFRs) that are transaction-based. LIBOR discontinuation after 31 December 2021 is widely expected by market participants. The company is in the process of evaluating the implications of such a phase out. The Company has no interest rate hedging relationships which get affected by the reform and do not expect any significant impact on existing contracts due to change in the interest rates. The company will continue to monitor market developments.

#### Equity price risk

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in equity prices.

Philips is a shareholder in some publicly listed companies and as a result is exposed to potential financial loss through movements in their share prices. The aggregate equity price exposure in such financial assets amounted to approximately EUR 17 million at December 31, 2020 (2019: EUR 15 million). Philips does not hold derivatives in the above-mentioned listed companies. Philips also has shareholdings in several privately-owned companies amounting to EUR 107 million, mainly consisting of minority stakes in companies in various industries. As a result, Philips is exposed to potential value adjustments.

#### Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices.

Philips is a purchaser of certain base metals, precious metals and energy. Philips may hedge certain commodity price risks using derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by commodity price volatility. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, Philips did not have any significant outstanding financial commodity derivatives.

#### Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognized at the reporting date, if counterparties failed completely to perform their payment obligations as contracted. Credit risk is present within Philips trade receivables and contract assets. To have better insights into the credit exposures, Philips performs ongoing evaluations of the financial and non-financial condition of its customers and adjusts credit limits when appropriate. In instances where the creditworthiness of a customer is determined not to be sufficient to grant the credit limit required, there are a number of mitigation tools that can be utilized to close the gap, including reducing payment terms, cash on delivery, pre-payments and pledges on assets.

Philips invests available cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions and is exposed to credit risk with these counterparties. Philips is also exposed to credit risks in the event of non-performance by financial institutions with respect to financial derivative instruments. Philips actively manages concentration risk and on a daily basis measures the potential loss under certain stress scenarios, should a financial institution default. These worst-case scenario losses are monitored and limited by the company.

The company does not enter into any financial derivative instruments to protect against default by financial institutions. However, where possible the company requires all financial institutions with which it deals in derivative transactions to complete legally enforceable netting agreements under an International Swap Dealers Association master agreement or otherwise prior to trading, and whenever possible, to have a strong credit rating. Philips also regularly monitors the development of the credit risk of its financial counterparties. Wherever possible, cash is invested and financial transactions are concluded with financial institutions with strong credit ratings or with governments or government-backed institutions.

The table below shows the number of financial institutions with credit rating A- and above with which Philips has cash at hand and short-term deposits above EUR 10 million as of December 31, 2020.

For an overview of the overall maximum credit exposure related to debt instruments, derivatives and loans and receivables, please refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Country risk

Country risk is the risk that political, legal, or economic developments in a single country could adversely impact our performance. The country risk per country is defined as the sum of the equity of all subsidiaries and associated companies in country cross-border transactions, such as intercompany loans, accounts receivable from third parties and intercompany accounts receivable. The country risk is monitored on a regular basis.

As of December 31, 2020, the company had country risk exposure of EUR 10.5 billion in the United States, EUR 1.2 billion in China (including Hong Kong). Other countries higher than EUR 500 million are Japan EUR 684 million and the United Kingdom EUR 726 million. Other countries which have significant exposure are Germany EUR 300 million and India EUR 299 million. The degree of risk of a country is taken into account when new investments are considered. The company does not, however, use financial derivative instruments to hedge country risk.

The impact of hyperinflation is also routinely assessed and was not material for the periods presented.

#### Other insurable risks

Philips is covered for a broad range of losses by global insurance policies in the areas of property damage/ business interruption, general and product liability, transport, directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practice liability, crime and cybersecurity. The counterparty risk related to the insurance companies participating in the above-mentioned global insurance policies is actively managed. As a rule, Philips only selects insurance companies with a financial strength of at least A-. Throughout the year the counterparty risk is monitored on a regular basis.

To lower exposures and to avoid potential losses, Philips has a global Risk Engineering program in place. The main focus of this program is on property damage and business interruption risks including company interdependencies. Regular on-site assessments take place at Philips locations and business-critical suppliers by risk engineers of the insurer in order to provide an accurate assessment of the potential loss and its impact. The results of these assessments are shared across the company’s stakeholders. On-site assessments are carried out against the predefined Risk Engineering standards, which are agreed between Philips and the insurers. Recommendations are made in a Risk Improvement report and are monitored centrally. This is the basis for decision-making by the local management of the business as to which recommendations will be implemented.

For all policies, deductibles are in place, which vary from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 5 million per occurrence and this variance is designed to differentiate between the existing risk categories within Philips. Above a first layer of working deductibles, Philips operates its own re-insurance captive, which during 2020 retained EUR 5 million per claim and EUR 10 million in the annual aggregate for general, product and professional liability claims.

New contracts were signed effective December 31, 2020, for the coming year, whereby the re-insurance captive retentions remained unchanged.

### 31Subsequent events

#### BioTelemetry

On December 18, 2020, Philips and BioTelemetry, Inc. (BioTelemetry) announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. BioTelemetry is a leading U.S.-based provider of remote cardiac diagnostics and monitoring. The acquisition is part of the Philips strategy to be a leading provider of patient care management solutions. On February 9, 2021, Philips completed a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of BioTelemetry for USD 72.00 per share. The total equity purchase price and the settlement of stock option rights, including BioTelemetry’s cash and debt, involved an amount of USD 2.8 billion (approximately EUR 2.3 billion). BioTelemetry and its approximately 1,900 employees form part of Philips' Connected Care business segment. Philips consolidates 100% of BioTelemetry as of the acquisition date. Due to the recent closing date, additional IFRS disclosures cannot be made until the initial accounting for the business combination has been completed.

#### Capsule Technologies

On January 19, 2021, Philips announced it had signed an agreement to acquire Capsule Technologies, Inc., a global leader in medical device integration and data technologies for hospitals and healthcare organizations. The acquisition will become part of Philips’ Connected Care segment and expand Philips’ patient care management solutions for all care settings. Philips will acquire Capsule Technologies for a cash consideration of USD 635 million (approximately EUR 520 million based on the relevant exchange rate on the agreement date). The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory clearances in relevant jurisdictions, and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021.

#### New credit facilities

In February 2021, Philips entered and has drawn two new bilateral loans amounting to total EUR 500 million (EUR 250 million each) with a tenor of up to one year. These loans will be used for general group purposes and will strengthen the liquidity position of the company.

# 14Other information

## 14.1Reconciliation of non-IFRS information

In this Annual Report Philips presents certain financial measures when discussing Philips’ performance that are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS (‘non-IFRS’). These non-IFRS measures (also known as non-GAAP or alternative performance measures) are presented because management considers them important supplemental measures of Philips’ performance and believes that they are widely used in the industry in which Philips operates as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance and liquidity. Philips believes that an understanding of its sales performance, profitability, financial strength and funding requirements is enhanced by reporting the following non-IFRS measures:

- Comparable sales growth;
- EBITA;
- Adjusted EBITA;
- Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders;
- Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted (Adjusted EPS);
- Adjusted EBITDA;
- Free cash flow;
- Net debt : group equity ratio; and
- Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

Non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and not all companies calculate non-IFRS measures in the same manner or on a consistent basis. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies that have the same or similar names. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on the non-IFRS measures contained in this Annual Report and they should not be considered as substitutes for sales, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or other financial measures computed in accordance with IFRS.

This chapter contains the definitions of the non-IFRS measures used in this Annual Report as well as reconciliations from the most directly comparable IFRS measures. The non-IFRS measures discussed in this Annual Report are cross referenced to this chapter. These non-IFRS measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

The non-IFRS financial measures presented are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS, but measures used by management to monitor the underlying performance of Philips’ business and operations and, accordingly, they have not been audited or reviewed by Philips’ external auditors.

Additionally, Philips provides forward-looking targets for comparable sales growth, adjusted EBITA margin improvement, free cash flow and organic ROIC, which are non-IFRS financial measures. Philips has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of these targets to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because certain information needed to reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS financial measures are dependent on specific items or impacts which are not yet determined, are subject to uncertainty and variability in timing and amount due to their nature, are outside of Philips’ control, or cannot be predicted, including items and impacts such as currency exchange rates, acquisitions and disposals, legal and tax gains and losses and pension settlements, charges and costs such as impairments, restructuring and acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangible assets and net capital expenditures. Accordingly, reconciliations of these non-IFRS forward looking financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Such unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our results of operations and financial condition.

### Comparable sales growth

Comparable sales growth represents the period-on-period growth in sales excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. As indicated in Significant accounting policies, foreign currency sales and costs are translated into Philips’ presentation currency, the euro, at the exchange rates prevailing at the respective transaction dates. As a result of significant foreign currency sales and currency movements during the periods presented, the effects of translating foreign currency sales amounts into euros could have a material impact on the comparability of sales between periods. Therefore, these impacts are excluded when presenting comparable sales in euros by translating the foreign currency sales of the previous period and the current period into euros at the same average exchange rates. In addition, the years presented were affected by a number of acquisitions and divestments, as a result of which various activities were consolidated or deconsolidated. The effect of consolidation changes has also been excluded in arriving at the comparable sales. For the purpose of calculating comparable sales, when a previously consolidated entity is sold or control is lost, relevant sales for that entity of the corresponding prior year period are excluded. Similarly, when an entity is acquired and consolidated, relevant sales for that entity of the current year period are excluded.

Comparable sales growth is presented for the Philips Group, operating segments and geographic clusters. Philips’ believes that the presentation of comparable sales growth is meaningful for investors to evaluate the performance of Philips’ business activities over time. Comparable sales growth may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, because comparable sales growth figures are not adjusted for other effects, such as increases or decreases in prices or quantity/volume. In addition, interaction effects between currency movements and changes in consolidation are not taken into account.

### Adjusted EBITA

The term Adjusted EBITA is used to evaluate the performance of Philips and its segments. EBITA represents Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITA represents EBITA excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.

Restructuring costs are defined as the estimated costs of initiated reorganizations, the most significant of which have been approved by the Executive Committee, and which generally involve the realignment of certain parts of the industrial and commercial organization.

Acquisition-related charges are defined as costs that are directly triggered by the acquisition of a company, such as transaction costs, purchase accounting related costs and integration-related expenses.

Other items are defined as any individual item with an income statement impact (loss or gain) that is deemed by management to be both significant and incidental to normal business activity. Other items may extend over several quarters and are not limited to the same financial year.

Philips considers the use of Adjusted EBITA appropriate as Philips uses it as a measure of segment performance and as one of its strategic drivers to increase profitability through re-allocation of its resources towards opportunities offering more consistent and higher returns. This is done with the aim of making the underlying performance of the businesses more transparent.

EBITA excludes amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets (and impairment of goodwill), which primarily relates to brand names, customer relationships and technology, as Philips believes that such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency, are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions and do not factor into its decisions on allocation of its resources across segments. Although we exclude amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets from our Adjusted EBITA measure, Philips believes that it is important for investors to understand that these acquired intangible assets contribute to revenue generation.

Philips believes Adjusted EBITA is useful to evaluate financial performance on a comparable basis over time by factoring out restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other incidental items which are not directly related to the operational performance of Philips Group or its segments.

Adjusted EBITA may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it excludes restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other incidental items and therefore does not reflect the expense associated with such items, which may be significant and have a significant effect on Philips’ net income.

Adjusted EBITA margin refers to Adjusted EBITA divided by sales expressed as a percentage.

Adjusted EBITA is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

### Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders

The term Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders represents income from continuing operations less continuing operations non-controlling interests, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs and acquisition-related charges, other items, adjustments to net finance expenses, adjustments to investments in associates and the tax impact of the adjusted items. Shareholders refers to shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V.

Restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items are all defined in the Adjusted EBITA section above.

Net finance expenses are defined as either the financial income or expense component of an individual item already identified to be excluded as part of the Adjusted income from continuing operations, fair value movements of equity investments in limited life funds recognized at fair value through profit or loss or a financial income or expense component with an income statement impact (gain or loss) that is deemed by management to be both significant and incidental to normal business activity.

The Tax impact of the adjusted items is calculated using the Weighted Average Statutory Tax Rate plus any recurring tax costs or benefits.

In 2020, Philips revised the definition of net finance expenses used in the calculation of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, to exclude fair value movements of limited life fund investments recognized at fair value through profit and loss. This change leads to more relevant information as the fair value movements are not indicative of Philips' performance. In addition, the fair value movements do not represent cash items. Philips believes making this change is helpful for investors to evaluate Philips' performance. Limited life fund investments are presented under Other non-current financial assets and classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (refer to note Other financial assets), and related fair value movements are presented in financial income and expense (refer to note Financial income and expenses). Fair value movements of equity investments in limited life funds in 2020 were EUR 131 million. Fair value movements of equity investments in limited life funds in 2019 were EUR 1 million.

Philips considers the use of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders appropriate as Philips uses it as the basis for the Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted, a non-IFRS measure.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it excludes certain items and therefore does not reflect the expense associated with such items, which may be significant and have a significant effect on Philips’ net income. Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. The reconciliation of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table.

### Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted is calculated by dividing the Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares (after deduction of treasury shares) outstanding during the period, as defined in Significant accounting policies, earnings per share section.

Philips considers the use of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted appropriate as it is a measure that is useful when comparing its performance to other companies in the HealthTech industry. However, it may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it uses Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders which has certain items excluded.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure, income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted for the years indicated, is included in the table below.

### Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.

Philips understands that Adjusted EBITDA is broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. Philips considers Adjusted EBITDA useful when comparing its performance to other companies in the HealthTech industry. However, Adjusted EBITDA may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool because of the range of items excluded and their significance in a given reporting period. Furthermore, comparisons with other companies may be complicated due to the absence of a standardized meaning and calculation framework. Our management compensates for the limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplement IFRS results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than IFRS results alone. In addition to the limitations noted above, Adjusted EBITDA excludes items that may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in the evaluation of performance. However, we believe it is useful to exclude such items to provide a supplemental analysis of current results and trends compared to other periods. This is because certain excluded items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events. Also, the variability of such items may not relate specifically to ongoing operating results or trends and certain excluded items, while potentially recurring in future periods and may not be indicative of future results. A reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below. Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

### Free cash flow

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are comprised of the purchase of intangible assets, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment.

Philips discloses free cash flow as a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure, as Philips believes it is a meaningful measure to evaluate the performance of its business activities over time. Philips understands that free cash flow is broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing its performance. Philips also believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the cash generated by the Philips operations after deducting cash outflows for purchases of intangible assets, capitalization of product development, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment. Therefore, the measure gives an indication of the long-term cash generating ability of the business. In addition, because free cash flow is not impacted by purchases or sales of businesses and investments, it is generally less volatile than the total of net cash provided by (used for) operating activities and net cash provided by (used for) investing activities.

Free cash flow may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as free cash flow is not a measure of cash generated by operations available exclusively for discretionary expenditures and Philips requires funds in addition to those required for capital expenditures for a wide variety of non-discretionary expenditures, such as payments on outstanding debt, dividend payments or other investing and financing activities. In addition, free cash flow does not reflect cash payments that may be required in future for costs already incurred, such as restructuring costs.

Philips adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019. As a result, Philips calculation of Free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 includes the impact of IFRS 16. Free cash flow calculations for the year ended December 31, 2018 have not been restated for this impact.

### Net debt : group equity ratio

Net debt : group equity ratio is presented to express the financial strength of Philips. Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Group equity is defined as the sum of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests. This measure is used by Philips Treasury management and investment analysts to evaluate financial strength and funding requirements. This measure may be subject to limitations because cash and cash equivalents are used for various purposes, not only debt repayment. The net debt calculation deducts all cash and cash equivalents whereas these items are not necessarily available exclusively for debt repayment at any given time.

### Organic Return on Invested Capital

Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is defined as organic return which includes income from operations for the year excluding the impact of: Income or Loss from operations of businesses acquired in the five year period prior to the measurement date; certain tax gains and losses determined by management to be material in nature and require separate disclosure and; certain other items; and tax effects of the other adjustments (calculated at group effective tax rate) divided by average of the Net operating capital at the end of each of the five quarters ending on the relevant measurement date excluding the average net operating capital at the end of each of the five quarters ending on the relevant measurement date of the businesses acquired in the five year period prior to the measurement date, expressed as a percentage.

Net operating capital is defined as tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets, including goodwill, inventories and receivable balances, minus payable balances and provisions, all as further defined below. Net operating capital is also adjusted to exclude assets and liabilities of businesses acquired in the five year period prior to the relevant measurement date. Organic ROIC is calculated after taxes.

Other items are defined as material in nature and require separate disclosure and have the same nature as the items excluded from Adjusted EBITA. In the years 2019-2020 these other items included legal provisions, pension settlements and results of divestments. Refer to Net income, Income from operations (EBIT) and Adjusted EBITA within Results of operations section of Financial performance.

The term Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is used by management to evaluate Philips’ efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments and how well the company uses capital to generate returns. Philips believes that Organic ROIC provides useful information to investors because it excludes the impact of recently acquired businesses, giving a more accurate representation of how the Philips Business System is leveraged to drive operational excellence and removes irregularity caused by various operating models of recently acquired businesses. Philips also believes that excluding certain items determined by management to be material in nature and requiring separate disclosure enhances comparability across several periods. Organic ROIC may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it excludes Income or Loss from operations of acquired businesses and tax gains and losses and certain other items, which may have a significant effect on ROIC. Organic ROIC is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS.

The most comparable IFRS measure to Organic ROIC is Return on total assets, calculated as Income from operations for the year divided by total assets as of the end of the year. Return on total assets as of the balance sheet date for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020 is included in the table below.

The reconciliation of Average Net operating capital and the reconciliation of Net income to Organic ROIC for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 are included in the following tables. Philips adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019. As a result, Philips calculation of Organic ROIC for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 includes the impact of IFRS 16. Organic ROIC calculations for the year ended December 31, 2018 have not been restated for this impact.

## 14.2Other Key Performance Indicators

In addition to monitoring the IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures discussed under Financial performance, Philips’ management also uses the following other key performance indicators to monitor the performance of the business and to manage the business.

Lives Improved
The purpose of Philips is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation and we aim to improve the lives of 2 billion people a year by 2025, including 300 million in underserved communities, rising to 2.5 billion and 400 million respectively by 2030. We use Lives Improved as a measurement of our societal impact. We define Lives Improved as the number of individuals who have interacted with Philips products that contribute to the social or ecological dimension over the lifetime of a product. We calculate Lives Improved as the number of individual interactions for each product sold (based on market intelligence and statistical data) and multiply by the number of those products delivered in a year (eliminating double counting for multiple different product touches per individual). See Improving people’s lives for more information on Lives Improved.

Operational Carbon Footprint
As a responsible company, we aim to minimize our environmental impact and we use the Operational Carbon Footprint as one of the measurements of our impact. We define Operational Carbon Footprint as the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person; expressed in kilotonnes CO2-equivalent. We calculate our Operational Carbon Footprint on a half-year basis and include industrial sites (manufacturing and assembly sites), non-industrial sites (offices, warehouses, IT centers and R&D facilities), business travel (lease and rental cars and airplane travel) and logistics (air, sea and road transport) See Sustainable Operations for more information on our Operational Carbon Footprint.

Circular Revenues
As a company committed to the transition to a circular economy, we aim to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. We define Circular Revenues as revenues generated through products and solutions that meet specific Circular Economy requirements (including performance and access-based business models, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured products and systems, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured components, upgrades or refurbishment on site or remote, and products with a recycled plastics content of >25% post-consumer recycled plastics or >30% post-industrial/postconsumer recycled plastics by total weight of eligible plastics). We calculate Circular Revenues as annual revenues attributable to products and solutions that meet the Circular Economy requirements.

Waste to Landfill
At Philips, as a responsible company, we strive to reduce our environmental impact. We define Waste to Landfill as total waste that is delivered for landfill and exclude one-time-only waste and waste delivered to landfill due to regulatory requirements. We calculate Waste to Landfill in kilotonnes per year. See Sustainable Operations for more information on Waste to Landfill.

Closing the Loop
At Philips, we are committed to offer a trade-in on all our professional medical equipment and to take care of responsible repurposing of such trade-in systems. We call this “Closing the Loop”. We calculate Closing the Loop as Process Adherence (%) * Reclaim (%). Process adherence (%) is defined as the % of won Replacement Philips deals which are associated with a trade in request in our CRM system. Reclaim (%) is defined as the % of won Replacement Philips deals with a customer accepted trade in request in our CRM system and a repurposing strategy that fulfills our reclaim requirements.

Philips believes that the five other key performance indicators described above (Lives Improved, Operational Carbon Footprint, Circular Revenues, Waste to Landfill and Closing the Loop) provide important information to investors and are important to understanding the long-term performance and prospects of the business. In addition, these other key performance indicators are also used for management compensation purposes. Members of the Board of Management are eligible for grants of performance shares under the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan, and the vesting of the performance shares is subject to performance over a period of 3 years and based on certain criteria, including a 10% weighting for Sustainability Objectives, which Philips defines as the five other key performance indicators described above: Lives Improved, Carbon Footprint, Circular Revenues, Waste to Landfill and Closing the Loop. Philips believes that including these other key performance indicators in our remuneration policy encourages management to act responsibly and sustainably, supporting the company’s overall performance and enhancing the long-term value of the company. See Remuneration of the Board of Management in 2020 for more information on the Philips’ Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan.

Comparable order intake
Comparable order intake represents the period-on-period growth, expressed as a percentage, in order intake excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. Comparable order intake is reported for equipment and software in the Diagnoses & Treatment and Connected Care businesses, and is defined as the total contractually committed value of equipment and software to be delivered within a specified timeframe, and is an approximation of expected future revenue growth in the respective businesses. Comparable order intake does not derive from the financial statements and a quantitative reconciliation is thus not provided.

Effective 2020, Philips has simplified its order intake policy by aligning horizons for all modalities to 18 months to revenue, compared to previously used delivery horizons of 6 months for Ultrasound, 12 months for Connected Care and 15 months for Diagnosis & Treatment. At the time, Philips has aligned order intake for software contracts to the same 18 months to revenue horizon, meaning that only the next 18 months conversion to revenue under the contract is recognized, compared to the full contract values recognized previously. This change eliminates major variances in order intake growth and better reflects expected revenue in the short term from order intake booked in the reporting period. Prior-year comparable order intake amounts have been restated accordingly. This realignment has not resulted in any material additional order intake recognition.

Philips uses comparable order intake as an indicator of business activity and performance. Comparable order intake is not an alternative to revenue and may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool due to differences in amount and timing between booking orders and revenue recognition. Due to divergence in practice, other companies may calculate this or a similar measure (such as order backlog) differently and therefore comparisons between companies may be complicated.

## 14.5Definitions and abbreviations

#### Brominated flame retardants (BFR)

Brominated flame retardants are a group of chemicals that have an inhibitory effect on the ignition of combustible organic materials. Of the commercialized chemical flame retardants, the brominated variety are most widely used.

#### CO2-equivalent

CO2-equivalent or carbon dioxide equivalent is a quantity that describes, for a given mixture and amount of greenhouse gas, the amount of CO2 that would have the same global warming potential (GWP), when measured over a specified timescale (generally 100 years).

#### Circular economy

A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. By definition it is a driver for innovation in the areas of material, component and product reuse, as well as new business models such as solutions and services. In a Circular Economy, the more effective use of materials makes it possible to create more value, both by cost savings and by developing new markets or growing existing ones.

#### Circular Revenues

Circular Revenues are defined by revenues generated through products and solutions that meet specific Circular Economy requirements. These include performance and access-based business models, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured products and systems, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured components, upgrades or refurbishment on site or remote, and products with a recycled plastics content of >25% post-consumer recycled plastics or >30% post-industrial/post-consumer recycled plastics by total weight of eligible plastics.

#### Dividend yield

The dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by Philips’ market capitalization. All references to dividend yield are as of December 31 of the previous year.

#### Employee Engagement Index (EEI)

The Employee Engagement Index (EEI) is the single measure of the overall level of employee engagement at Philips. It is a combination of perceptions and attitudes related to employee satisfaction, commitment and advocacy.

#### Energy-using Products (EuP)

An energy-using product is a product that uses, generates, transfers or measures energy (electricity, gas, fossil fuel). Examples include boilers, computers, televisions, transformers, industrial fans and industrial furnaces.

#### Full-time equivalent employee (FTE)

Full-time equivalent is a way to measure a worker’s involvement in a project. An FTE of 1.0 means that the person is equivalent to a full-time worker, while an FTE of 0.5 signals that the worker works half-time.

#### Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a network-based organization that pioneered the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. GRI is committed to the framework’s continuous improvement and application worldwide. GRI’s core goals include the mainstreaming of disclosure on environmental, social and governance performance.

#### Green Innovation

Green Innovation comprises all R&D activities directly contributing to the intended development of Green Products or Green Technologies. Innovation projects are characterized as Green based on the innovation brief; this designation is not revised during the project lifetime.

#### Green Products

Green Products offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more Green Focal Areas: Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Circularity, and Lifetime reliability. The life cycle approach is used to determine a product’s overall environmental improvement. It calculates the environmental impact of a product over its total life cycle (raw materials, manufacturing, product use and disposal).

Green Products need to prove leadership in at least one Green Focal Area compared to industry standards, which is defined by a segment-specific peer group. This is done either by outperforming reference products (which can be a competitor or predecessor product in the particular product family) by at least 10%, by outperforming product-specific eco-requirements or by being awarded with a recognized eco-performance label. Because of different product portfolios, business segments have specified additional criteria for Green Products, including product specific minimum requirements where relevant.

#### Green Revenues

Green Revenues are generated through products and solutions which offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more of the Green Focal Areas: Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Circularity, and Lifetime reliability. Green Revenues are determined by classifying the environmental impact of the product or solution over its total life cycle.

Philips uses Green Revenues as a measure of social and economic performance in addition to its environmental results. The use of this measure may be subject to limitations as it does not have a standardized meaning and similar measures could be determined differently by other companies.

A product or solution that has been determined to contribute to Green Revenues will continue to do so until it is decommissioned.

#### Growth geographies

Growth geographies are the developing geographies comprising of Asia Pacific (excluding Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand), Latin America, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Turkey (excluding Israel) and Africa.

#### Lean

The basic insight of Lean thinking is that if every person is trained to identify wasted time and effort in their own job and to better work together to improve processes by eliminating such waste, the resulting enterprise will deliver more value at less expense.

#### Lives improved by Philips

To calculate how many lives we are improving, market intelligence and statistical data on the number of people touched by the products contributing to the social or ecological dimension over the lifetime of a product are multiplied by the number of those products delivered in a year. After elimination of double counts – multiple different product touches per individual are only counted once – the number of lives improved by our innovative solutions is calculated.

Net Promoter Score
Net Promoter Score®, or NPS®, measures customer experience and predicts business growth. NPS is calculated by taking the answer to a key question on a 0-10 scale: How likely is it that you would recommend [brand] to a friend or colleague?
Respondents are grouped as follows:
• Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying and refer others, fueling growth.
• Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitive offerings.
• Detractors (score 0-6) are unhappy customers who can damage the brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
Subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters yields the Net Promoter Score, which can range from a low of -100 (if every customer is a Detractor) to a high of 100 (if every customer is a Promoter).

#### Operational carbon footprint
