1.1 Message from the CEO
Dear Stakeholder ,
Around the world, patients are facing longer waiting times, and we continue to see rising costs and
staff shortages, among other issues. I have seen the immense pressure healthcare professionals are
under and feel a deep sense of responsibility to help address the challenges and to support them to
care for more patients in a better way. In parallel, we see that people everywhere want to be
empowered to take care of their own health and well-being.
At Philips, we want to contribute to healthcare professionals feeling supported and energized,
instead of overloaded and overworked, and to help people lead healthier lives. As an innovation
company, we are committed to improving healthcare and driving impact with care for patients,
people and the planet through our deep technological insight and our meaningful innovations.
Strong partnerships and advances in AI * -enabled innovation are helping to drive real change –
freeing up space and time for healthcare professionals to focus on their patients and empowering
people to take care of their health and well-being. With our next-generation BlueSeal helium-free
MRI system, for example, we are helping to expand access to quality imaging and improve care
delivery across multiple settings, with SmartSpeed AI powering up to three-times faster scanning
and up to 65% higher resolution images. In the home, our AI-powered Philips Avent Premium
Connected Baby Monitor gives parents peace of mind by allowing them to keep a closer eye on
their children.
We want to help deliver better care for more people across the world. But we know that some
people are facing barriers to better health; in parts of the world the devastating consequences of
ongoing war and conflict are impacting millions of lives every day. It makes me even more
determined to do what we can so people everywhere can access the care they need.
Making progress on our three-year plan
In 2024, we made solid progress on our 2023-2025 operating plan. We believe we are on the right
path, executing our focused strategy to improve people’s health and well-being through
meaningful innovation, with patient safety and quality as our number one priority.
Reflecting our new operating model, Businesses are in the lead, driving quality and making impact
through innovation, design and sustainability. We remain committed to scaling our AI-enabled
innovations through excellence in execution and delivery, focusing on fewer, better-resourced
initiatives. While we have made good progress, we have more to do.
Our results were negatively impacted in 2024 by deteriorated demand in China, due to subdued
consumer confidence, leading to more cautious spending behavior. In addition, ongoing industry-
wide anti-corruption initiatives have contributed to extended hospital procurement cycles. Given
these factors, we adjusted our growth expectations for the year. Managing developments in China
will remain a priority in 2025. Despite global uncertainties and slower growth, we delivered strong
profitability improvement and cash flow, and further strengthened our balance sheet. We also
made important progress on resolving the Philips Respironics recall. As an indication of the progress
we are making, we returned to comparable order intake growth. And, some of our largest
investors further expanded their investment in Philips, showing confidence in our future.
Focusing on our priorities
Our focus on patient safety is at the center of strengthening our fundamentals and fostering a
culture that upholds quality. In our latest engagement survey, colleagues shared that they feel
empowered to speak up and take action to support our commitment to patient safety and quality.
While we acknowledge this progress, we remain diligent in continuing this work.
Looking at other areas of progress in 2024, Philips Respironics signed a consent decree, which,
coupled with other significant milestones, such as the economic loss settlement and the settlement
of personal injury and medical monitoring claims in the US, provided clarity on the way forward.
We remain committed to rebuilding our position in Sleep & Respiratory Care while resolving the
effects of the recall. We continue to work closely with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
and other regulators around the world.
We are concentrating on accelerating momentum, building on our industry-leading innovations,
and continuing to improve execution. In our supply chain, we have made significant progress –
addressing the components shortage and related risks, and reducing our lead times, in support of
our drive to increase customer satisfaction. In addition, we are building in greater agility in our
supply chain so we can respond, for example, to the potential impact of geopolitical tension or
tariffs. We are also further simplifying our catalogs and products, and regionalizing to win locally.
In making sure we become a leaner, more agile and simpler organization – and therefore more
competitive and resilient – we have made important strides with our move to an end-to-end
Business-led model. We reduced approximately 10,000 roles from 2022 through the end of 2024.
We focused on enhancing our team and culture with deep medtech experience and new
leadership. This included the strengthening of our experienced and diverse Executive Committee by
welcoming, among others, our new Chief Financial Officer, Charlotte Hanneman, and bringing in
other proven leaders across Businesses, Regions and Functions.

We are reinvigorating our culture of impact with care. We have shifted back to the workplace
following a couple of years when some colleagues worked partly from home, with teams coming
back together to build a stronger social fabric and support our thriving innovation culture. We
believe we drive greater impact when we work together. In 2024, engagement across the
company, as measured in our People Engagement Survey, increased 5 percentage points.
Our plans build on our strong heritage in social and environmental responsibility. In 2024, we
improved the lives of 1.96 billion people and contributed to more sustainable healthcare, while
ensuring a more sustainable consumer experience. This included, among other things, partnering
with hospitals to support them with their own sustainability plans and expanding access to care in
and outside the hospital. We have an enhanced and fully integrated approach to doing business
responsibly and sustainably, for Philips and for our customers. And this is recognized. For example,
our supplier sustainability approach featured in Fortune’s 2024 ‘Change the World’ rankings. In
addition, Forbes recognized Philips as one of the world’s best employers. Our ESG commitments
help drive our business results and our global impact, and create long-term value for our
stakeholders.
Looking ahead
We remain focused on successfully executing our three-year plan and are determined to further
build on our industry-leading innovations, improve our fundamentals, simplify how we work, and
ensure we are more competitive and more agile. We continue to deepen our culture of impact with
care with patient safety, quality and integrity at the heart.
We want to win and deliver better care for more people in a fast-moving, competitive world, where
care provision is under pressure. By doing so, we aim to deliver profitable growth, expand our
margins, and fulfill our cash and ESG commitments.
I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their ongoing trust, support, collaboration, and
confidence. I also want to share special thanks to our employees, who show their passion and
commitment every day, and to their families.
Reflecting the progress we have made in executing our plan, reducing risk and strengthening our
balance sheet, along with the importance we attach to dividend stability, we propose to maintain
the dividend at EUR 0.85 per share, to be in shares or cash at the option of the shareholder.
As I look ahead, I am excited about the opportunity to deliver better care for more people, working
with our many partners for the benefit of patients, customers and consumers.

2.1 Strategic focus
Today, most healthcare systems are struggling to keep up with the ever-rising need for, and cost
of, healthcare, while systemic staff shortages and financial resource constraints increase the
pressure. Climate change is impacting both environmental and human health, compounding the
stress on our healthcare systems and influencing consumer behavior. At the same time, in both the
hospital and the home, emerging technologies and artificial intelligence are affecting our lives like
never before.
At Philips, our purpose is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful
innovation. As such, we see huge opportunities to make a difference through innovation, design,
and sustainability – partnering with our healthcare customers to increase productivity and deliver
better care for more people through our innovation platforms of monitoring, imaging,
interventional and enterprise informatics. And, empowering more people to take care of their
health and well-being through our personal health propositions.
Our plan: create value with sustainable impact
As a health technology company, Philips is committed to driving progressive value creation through
a strategy of focused growth, scalable patient- and people-centric innovation, and reliable
execution supported by our culture of impact with care.
Philips has significant strengths to build on. We have a portfolio of innovations in hardware,
software, AI and services, supporting care in the hospital and in the home. We are the preferred
strategic and innovation partner for many customers (including governmental entities) across the
globe. And our strong heritage in environmental sustainability and social impact helps us make a
difference globally and create long-term value for our stakeholders.
A strategy of focused growth
We operate in growing market segments, where attractive margins provide a foundation for
sustainable value creation. To deliver on our strategy, we make clear business choices. We are
concentrating our resources on 70% of our businesses where we have strong positions and believe
we can accelerate growth and expand margins more quickly – Image Guided Therapy, Monitoring,
Ultrasound, and Personal Health. In doing so, we focus on supporting clinical workflows in areas
where we have domain leadership, such as cardiology, and that build on our deep strength in the
intensive care unit and cath lab.
The focus for the remaining 30% of the businesses, such as Diagnostic Imaging and Enterprise
Informatics, is achieving margin expansion by increasing productivity and scale, and by delivering
operational excellence. Additionally, we aim to rebuild our position in Sleep & Respiratory Care
after the progress made to resolve the effects of the Respironics recall.
Scalable patient- and people-centric innovation
At Philips, we’ve been innovating to improve lives for over 130 years. People’s needs are at the very
heart of how we innovate and design for sustainable impact with a ‘safety and quality first’
mindset.
Innovation is our strength and will continue to be our core differentiator. Recent challenges in the
healthcare industry have accelerated the adoption of technology. We are embracing these trends
and have shifted our innovation closer to our customers. This starts with asking: What do people –
in our case, patients and clinicians, nurses and technicians, consumers – really need? And how can
we best support healthcare professionals with their workflow?
Emerging AI innovations have the potential to address pain points across operational and clinical
workflows in healthcare. Philips has AI embedded across our portfolio, and we see significant
opportunities to further leverage this technology to deliver more and better care.
In our Businesses, we focus our efforts and resources on fewer projects offering greater impact on
patient outcomes and care providers’ clinical, operational and sustainability challenges. We take a
long-term view, seeking to ensure the customer has the best experience with Philips throughout
time. We do this by balancing new, breakthrough innovations and continuous optimized life cycle
management, through upgrades and services, of Philips products and systems already deployed in
care settings. With Research & Development mostly led by the Businesses, we bring together
expertise across the product life cycle, from research through serviceability, with the aim of
ensuring our innovations scale to drive maximum impact for our customers and consumers –
delivering a superior experience and value, with minimum environmental impact.
Execution priorities
Enabled by a culture of patient- and people-centricity, accountability and impact, supported by
strong health technology capabilities, we see effective execution as the key value driver of our plan.
We are focusing on:
• patient safety and quality – our highest priority
• end-to-end supply chain resilience
• a simplified operating model with an agile way of working
First, patient safety, quality and integrity is at the heart of our culture of impact with care. All
employees have dedicated patient safety and quality objectives, and the Patient Safety and Quality
organization champions stronger processes and more effective early warning systems in the
Businesses. The topic has high visibility at the Executive Committee level with the leadership of the
Chief Patient Safety & Quality Officer and Chief Medical Officer. We invest in systems, capabilities
and training to facilitate identification of potential patient safety or quality issues. We listen to
patients through our advisory boards. And we are taking the learnings from the Respironics recall
to improve our ability to correctly assess patient safety and provide quality of the highest standard
across Philips and in delivery to patients, customers and consumers.

Second, alignment of procurement and supply chain to our Businesses has enabled us to improve
the reliability of the delivery of our products, services and orders. A more regionalized supply chain
ecosystem combined with dual sourcing can work effectively even when volatile conditions emerge
in different parts of the world. We are paring down our product portfolio and making our
platforms fit for the future, which includes pruning a long tail of smaller product lines and older
generations of our products. We also have a dedicated team redesigning products and components
to increase our resilience.
Finally, we are in the second year of implementing our simplified operating model to enable us to
better serve patients, customers and consumers, as well as ensuring that our cost of organization
remains competitive in an inflationary and cost-driven environment, and that we are more agile in
responding to changes in the market. Prime accountability has been assigned to the Businesses,
supported by lean Functions and Regions following tailored models, all guided by fewer KPIs and
more focused targets. We will continue to simplify our operating model to adapt to the dynamic
environment.
Driving impact for people and planet
We have operationalized our purpose by adopting a fully integrated approach to doing business
responsibly and sustainably. We partner with stakeholders to drive environmental, social and
governance (ESG) priorities and aim to make a global impact while focusing on three UN
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
• SDG 3 - Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
• SDG 12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
• SDG 13 - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Acting responsibly toward the planet and society is part of our DNA. We believe that this is the best
way for us to meet our business goals and create superior, long-term value for Philips’ stakeholders.
Our 2021-2025 ESG program includes key ESG commitments that guide execution of the company
strategy, setting challenging environmental and social targets, as well as the highest standards of
governance. As an example, we aim to positively impact 2.5 billion lives per year by 2030, including
400 million in underserved communities.
Please refer to Environmental, Social and Governance for an overview of all our key ESG
commitments, and for information on how we act and perform in the environmental and social
dimensions and on the main elements of our governance framework.
Our approach to risk management
We approach risk management as a value-creating activity that is integral to innovation and
entrepreneurship. It allows us to analyze the relationship between strategy and risk profile, to
identify the specific risks that we face in executing our strategic plan to create value with
sustainable impact, to analyze these risks, to set our risk appetite, and to implement balanced risk
responses and monitor their effectiveness as an integral part of the Philips business planning and
performance review cycle.
Refer to Risk management and internal control for more information, including our risk appetite
and our risk management governance and process, and to Risk factors and responses for a
description of the material risk factors we have identified.
Delivering on our plan
With our global reach, market leadership positions, deep clinical and technological insights, and
patient- and people-focused innovation, we believe Philips is well-positioned to help deliver real
change across healthcare and personal health. Fueled by our purpose and supported by our culture
of impact with care, we are empowered – and hold ourselves accountable – to create value with
sustainable impact.

in Europe.
Also powered by AWS in 2024, Philips announced the launch of the Tasy EMR AI Virtual Assistant,
designed to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery in Latin America by simplifying
administrative tasks and improving the EMR experience so healthcare professionals can focus on
what really matters – their patients. As part of a five-year partnership with ABC Medical Center in
Mexico, Philips Tasy EMR software is being deployed as part of an interoperability solution,
integrating more than 45 functionalities and 700 licenses and establishing a standardized, unified
point between clinical and enterprise information systems.
Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest integrated care providers in the
United Kingdom, advanced its radiology and cardiology care with Philips PACS. This technology will
provide a single view of patient records, providing more connected and coordinated care across not
just the hospital sites but the entire North East and Cumbria region. This commitment marks yet
another milestone in the 14-year partnership with the Trust, just one year after Durham became
the first NHS Trust to co-develop a sustainability blueprint with Philips.
NYU Langone Health in the US launched a digital pathology program, offering unprecedented
clarity for viewing tissue samples, enhancing collaboration and reducing diagnosis time while laying
the foundation for advanced AI algorithms. This integrated, collaborative approach will serve as
part of a drive to further enhance the patient experience through faster diagnosis and treatment,
and improved outcomes.
Patient care and collaboration have been significantly improved in Vienna, Austria, as part of a
renewed IT service agreement with Philips that includes solutions that centralize data and deliver
insights. The ICCA patient data management system, which integrates patient data from monitors,
laboratory data and other sources, has led to significant improvement in workflows and patient
care in anesthesia, intensive care and general patient care at General Hospital of Vienna
(Allgemeines Krankenhaus der Stadt Wien). At Vienna Health Group (Wiener Gesundheitsverbund),
Philips Cardiovascular Workspace, a vendor-neutral system implemented in the adult and pediatric
departments, helped improve patient care and internal operations.

Personal Health segment
Our Personal Health Business plays an important role in enabling healthy individual care routines
with technology and solutions that support people’s long-term health and well-being. Through our
Personal Health Business, we offer a broad range of solutions in various consumer price segments.
Depending on the market, we offer an additional portfolio of locally relevant innovations and
adjust our range to increase accessibility.
We aim to drive profitable growth through a focus on innovation across three key areas:
• reaching more people through consumer-driven product and solutions innovation
• ensuring the highest quality of consumer experience from pre-purchase consideration through
to purchase and unboxing, all the way to end-of-use recycling
• expanding our ecosystem through partnerships with leading retailers and scaling new business
models, such as try-and-buy and subscription services
A notable aspect of our commercial strategy is driving direct-to-consumer relationships and sales
through consumer communities and our online store. We are also leveraging connectivity to enable
new business models, and partnering with key players in the health ecosystem, such as insurance
companies and healthcare professionals, to create more opportunities to support the health and
well-being of consumers across the world. Through social media and digital innovation, we are
engaging consumers in their health journey in new and impactful ways.
In Personal Health, improving lives also means caring for the planet, with a key focus on
environmental sustainability. In 2024, we expanded our Philips Refurb Editions across select
European markets to give products a second life, complete with the same two-year guarantee as
new products. A flagship activation of this initiative took place during Black Friday in the Benelux
region, where the team flipped the Philips.com online storefront to prioritize Refurb Editions
products, only offering new product supply after refurbished items sold out. This effort reflects
Personal Health’s commitment to driving a circular economy and exploring innovative ways to
provide consumers with greater choices to live sustainably.
We offer mobile solutions to support parents and parents-to-be on a more informed, connected,
and healthier journey to parenthood. The Philips Avent Pregnancy+ and Baby+ apps provide
parents with supportive content through the critical first 1,000 days of their child’s life. Pregnancy+
features photo-realistic, interactive 3D fetal models and personalized daily content to enhance the
pregnancy experience. It is the No. 1 worldwide pregnancy app, with more than 6.5 million
monthly active users, available in 22 languages, and offering premium subscription options.
In 2024, we took action to address the key challenges faced by the Personal Health Business Units,
including the external context of a volatile macro environment, especially in China. The Personal
Health strategy focused on driving innovation at the core; improving agility in responding to
market, retail customer and consumer needs; and more integrated planning with its top customers
and in-demand items. In China in particular, Personal Health is not a typical mass consumer
business, as our products offer a more personalized experience for customers, and we are also
impacted by cautious spending behavior. Consumer sentiment in China is unlikely to change in the
near-term. We intend to address the challenging macro-economic environment by building on our
brands that have a strong position with locally relevant accelerators and customer partnerships, and
we aim to complement this effort by expanding our growth outside of China.
The Personal Health segment consists of the following units.
Personal Health – To help people take greater control of their personal health and well-being we
deliver sustainable, meaningful solutions that help them to take care of themselves and their
families, for happier, healthier lives, today and tomorrow.

In North America, we launched the Philips Sonicare brand’s first at-home teeth whitening kit, a
clinically proven solution developed by dentists, and debuted the new Philips One for Kids
rechargeable toothbrush, helping children between 3 and 12 years old with healthier oral care
routines. In Western Europe, Philips introduced its next-generation Sonicare technology in its new
mid-range Sonicare Series 5000-7000, providing consumers with a superior, gentle and effective
cleaning experience. The new range gives users a choice of features at different price points,
encouraging them to make the switch from a manual toothbrush to achieve improved oral
healthcare results.
The AI-powered Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor – which offers scientifically proven cry
translation as well as SenseIQ technology to track sleep, breathing and movements to support
parents and give them peace of mind – had its global debut. And, in an effort to support parents in
North America, we partnered with March of Dimes on Mom & Baby Mobile Health Centers,
bringing care to underserved communities, and It Starts with Mom, an educational platform
providing families with pregnancy resources.

Segment Other
In Other we report on the items Innovation & Strategy, IP Royalties, Central costs, and other small
items. At year-end 2024, 18,459 people worldwide were working in these areas.
Innovation & Strategy
At Philips, we have set up our innovation teams to be as close to our customers and consumers as
possible. The majority (90%) of our Research & Development (R&D) resources are embedded in our
Business Units, where innovation teams can directly hear customer and consumer needs and work
closely with other stakeholders to turn innovations into actual products. Innovation at Philips is
organized to encourage innovation anywhere along the value chain – not just at the product
ideation stage.
The remaining R&D resources (10%) are part of our central Innovation & Strategy organization.
Within I&S, innovation teams focus on breakthrough ideas that are industry-shifting, and can
advance a core product to fulfill the needs of a broad new customer segment. We do that from our
four main innovation sites – Eindhoven (the Netherlands), Cambridge (US), Bangalore (India) and
Shanghai (China) – and smaller innovation and research sites in the Regions. Our global footprint
enables us to understand, anticipate and react to local markets and needs.
IP royalties
Philips Intellectual Property & Standards (IP&S) proactively pursues the creation of new intellectual
property (IP) in close cooperation with Philips’ operating Businesses and Innovation & Strategy. IP&S
is a leading industrial IP organization providing world-class IP solutions to Philips Businesses to
support their growth, competitiveness and profitability.
Royal Philips’ IP portfolio currently consists of approximately 50,500 patent rights, 30,500
trademarks, 150,000 design rights and 3,200 domain names. Philips filed 700 new patents in
2024, with a strong focus on the growth areas in health technology services and solutions.
Philips earns substantial annual income from license fees and royalties.
Philips believes its business as a whole is not materially dependent on any particular third-party
patent or license, or any particular group of third-party patents and licenses.
Central costs
Philips is present in 71 countries globally and has its corporate headquarters in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands. Our real estate locations are spread around the globe, with key manufacturing and
R&D sites in Europe, the Americas and Asia. The project to move the Philips headquarters to a new
location in Amsterdam in 2025 progressed as planned.
We recharge the directly attributable part of the Functional costs to the Businesses. The remaining
part is accounted for as ’central costs’, and includes costs related to the Executive Committee and
Group Functions such as Strategy, Real Estate, Legal and Audit.
Other small items

2.2.2 Our geographic structure
Our Regions
Geographically, our business is organized in three Regions: North America, Greater China and
International Region (the latter consisting of Europe and Growth areas). Within our Regions, we
further organize by Zones and Countries. The Regions' primary accountability is to manage
customer intimacy, build and maintain relationships, and cultivate an understanding of customer
needs, as well as carry out (strategic) account management, service delivery, and indirect partner
management. They are also accountable for government relations and for providing local
infrastructure needed to support Philips’ presence in a country (license to operate).
For financial reporting purposes, we report in four geographic areas based on similar economic
characteristics: Western Europe, North America, Other mature geographies, and Growth
geographies. Western Europe, North America and Other mature geographies are collectively
grouped as Mature geographies in reporting on sales.
2024 highlights from our Regions
North America
In the biggest healthcare market in the world, our North America team focuses on developing
strategic relationships with major health systems that provide care to hundreds of millions of
people across the Region. We’re working with customers to solve some of the biggest challenges in
healthcare, including the crisis around clinician burnout and improving access to care in rural and
underserved communities. Bon Secours Mercy Health, NYU Langone Health, Northwell Health and
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital are among the customers using solutions from across our industry-
leading portfolio in 2024 to bring better care to more people in the Region.
Our work in 2024 built on our more than 50-year innovation relationship with the US Veteran’s
Administration (VA), which serves 16 million veterans and leads the largest integrated healthcare
delivery network in the country. More than 9 million veterans receive its healthcare services – and
almost one-third of them live in rural areas with limited access to care. Our focus with the VA
expanded the largest tele-critical care network in the US and accelerated the adoption of digital
pathology to speed cancer care. We also continued our longstanding support of healthcare
provided by the Department of Defense, deploying the Rapid Analysis of Threat Exposure algorithm
(RATE), an early detector of pre-symptomatic infection, part of an effort to improve the readiness
monitoring of active-duty military personnel.
Philips brings innovative business models and partnerships to solve specific challenges for
customers, including programs to improve access to maternal care in partnership with federal and
state government agencies and philanthropic organizations such as the March of Dimes. Philips
North America is consistently recognized in third-party surveys as a great place to work.
Greater China
In Greater China Region, we’re committed to the strategy ‘in China, for China’, putting the focus
on local innovation, manufacturing, services and partnership. This enables us to continue to deliver
industry-leading innovations in our home and hospital portfolio. While demand from hospitals and
consumers in China deteriorated in 2024 due to a challenging economic environment, China is a
fundamentally attractive growth market for Philips with strong underlying demand. While in the
long run China is expected to remain an important market and growth driver, we expect the level
of sales in China to take time to recover. With this in mind, new leadership in the Region is putting
emphasis on the strategy to create value to the local healthcare system while also empowering
consumers to manage their health and well-being with locally relevant solutions.
In health systems, Philips advanced efforts in 2024 to deliver benefits to providers and patients,
aligning with the national agenda of improving access and quality of care. With our latest
innovations, we serve the needs identified by the Chinese government to further develop local
hospitals and clinics. Among the offerings introduced in the China market: Spectral CT Plus, which
provides physiology insights for precise diagnosis in cardiology and oncology, and the MR Elition AI,
which triples patient throughput through AI-powered workflow optimization.
Leveraging our clinical insights and research capability in cardiology and neurology, we cemented
partnerships with several hospitals – including Beijing Fuwai (China’s top cardiology hospital) and
Zhangzhou Jiulongjiang Hospital (a top-tier private hospital) – with cross-modality solutions.
International
In 2024, we continued to pursue our global vision while addressing the distinct local needs and
circumstances of our diverse customer base across International Region. We put renewed emphasis
on building sustainable partnerships as we develop value propositions that attract more partners
whose capacity can help better serve our customers. These strategic partnerships drive value
creation and efficiency, as well as enable us to expand our reach into previously untouched
customer territories, ensuring we deliver better care for more people across our Region.
For example, Philips signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Siloam Hospitals Group in
Indonesia to advance AI capabilities and development in the healthcare sector in Indonesia. The
strategic collaboration, in partnership with the Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) Medical Sciences
Group, will focus on capacity building, knowledge sharing, and implementing advanced AI
solutions. Leveraging Philips’ AI innovations, the collaboration will help transform clinical care and
digital health, enhance healthcare delivery and make the healthcare infrastructure more
sustainable.
We are advancing our go-to-market strategy for health systems by identifying and seizing new
opportunities, strengthening our competitive positions, and providing improved support for
customers and patients. The Personal Health Business remains vital in empowering individuals to
adopt healthier care routines, providing innovative technologies and solutions that promote long-
term health.

2.2.3 Supply chain and procurement
Philips runs an integrated supply chain tailored to customer needs, which encompasses supplier
selection and management through procurement, manufacturing across all the industrial sites,
logistics and warehousing operations, and customer installation, as well as demand/supply
orchestration.
Like the rest of the industry, we remain exposed to continued geopolitical tensions around the
world, as well as (sudden) changes in tariffs or other trade measures. Labor costs and availability
remained a concern due to continued inflation in 2024 and scarcity of a skilled workforce. On the
other hand, overall macro-economics showed improved availability of materials. As a result, the
cost of key raw materials and energy showed a downward trend compared with 2023. The overall
growth rate of inflation is slowing down.
Driving end-to-end supply chain reliability and agility
The supply chain plays an important role in improving our performance and delivering to our
customers and consumers as promised. As part of our three-year plan, we initiated multiple
interventions and planned longer-term programs to improve our execution capabilities and become
more resilient in navigating volatility.
To further increase our responsiveness and our reliability in delivery, we continue to build a robust
and efficient, more regionalized supply chain ecosystem, prioritizing service level and customer
experience. In this ecosystem we carefully balance our manufacturing capabilities in-house,
focusing on our strengths while leveraging suppliers’ specialized capabilities that support Philips'
ambitions.
When selecting and evaluating supplier partners, we consider not only business metrics such as
quality, on-time delivery performance and cost, but also strategic fit and 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.
The Philips Supplier Quality Manual outlines Philips’ quality, regulatory, product, process and
customer requirements. The standards outlined in this manual underpin agreements between
suppliers and Philips, and guide compliance with Philips’ quality standards.
In 2024, we continued with our technology re-design, such as the redesign of printed circuit board
assemblies, and dual sourcing efforts to further increase reliability of our supply chain, including
safeguarding material flows and de-risking in a sustainable manner. We aim to maintain close
relationships with our suppliers and conduct an ongoing dialogue with respect to our forecast.

3.1 Performance summary
The year 2024 *
• Sales amounted to EUR 18.0 billion, a decrease of 1% on a nominal basis. On a comparable
basis*, sales increased 1% , on the back of solid growth in 2023. Growth in Mature Geographies
was partly offset by the decline in China. Comparable sales* showed 1% growth in the
Diagnosis & Treatment segment, 2% growth in the Connected Care segment, and 1% decline
in the Personal Health segment due to the decline in China.
• Income from operations improved to EUR 529 million, mainly driven by higher gross margin and
lower Respironics related items, partially offset by higher impairment charges.
• Net income amounted to a loss of EUR 698 million, mainly due to Respironics litigation provision
charges of EUR 984 million, partly offset by Respironics insurance income of EUR 538 million,
and tax expenses including deferred tax asset derecognition of EUR 941 million, compared to a
loss of EUR 463 million in 2023.
• Adjusted EBITA* amounted to EUR 2,077 million, or 11.5% of sales, compared to 10.6% of
sales in 2023. Connected Care and Personal Health segments showed an increase in Adjusted
EBITA* margin, mainly driven by operational improvements and productivity actions, partly
offset by cost inflation. Diagnosis & Treatment segment remained flat year over year.
• Net cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 1,569 million; free cash flow*
amounted to EUR 906 million.
• Philips cancelled approximately 4.4 million shares acquired under its 2021 share repurchase
program for capital reduction purposes.

3.1.1 Factors impacting performance
The factors below are believed to have had a significant impact on Philips’ performance during
the year.
Macro-economic landscape
In 2024 , global economic growth is estimated to have improved marginally compared to 2023 ,
but the economic situation in China weighed down growth across 2024. Global real GDP is
estimated to have grown by 3.2% in 2024 , compared with 2.8% in 2023 . Oxford Economics
expects world real GDP growth of 3.3% in 2025 excluding any impact of tariffs.
Simplified operating model
On January 30, 2023, Philips announced its plan to create value with sustainable impact, which
is based on focused organic growth to deliver patient- and people-driven innovation at scale,
with improved execution as a key value driver, prioritizing patient safety and quality, supply
chain reliability and a simplified operating model. The introduction of a simplified operating
model to increase agility and structurally lower the cost base by giving end-to-end accountability
to the segments has continued to contribute positively to the results of operations.
Workforce reduction
By year-end 2024 Philips completed its previously announced plans to reduce its workforce by
10,000 roles globally by 2025. These reductions were focused on Corporate and Functions
optimization and non-core activities. Workforce-related restructuring charges were EUR 106
million in 2024 and EUR 196 million in 2023 .
Supply chain resilience
Limited availability and delays in the supply of certain components and products internationally –
partly a consequence of the COVID pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war – impacted the
company's results in recent years. These supply chain constraints resulted in an increase in
overall working capital, in particular inventories. In 2023, following significant actions to
increase supply chain resilience and mitigate the impact of disruptions, our sales benefited from
improved material availability and resolved shortages in components.
In 2024 the company stepped up efforts to make its supply chain more agile in order to increase
speed of execution. In addition, the company is increasingly sourcing products in the market in
which they are being sold to make the supply chain more agile, which we believe is an
important part of the company's ability to cater to the demands in the healthcare market and
minimize the impact of potential tariffs and retaliatory trade measures.
Geopolitical environment
The Russia-Ukraine war continues to put pressure on the global commodity landscape and
supply chains, and contribute to higher levels of inflation. Philips’ operations in Russia and
Ukraine on a combined basis represented less than 1% of group sales in both 2023 and 2024.
Having substantially reduced its operations in Russia in 2022, the remaining activities were
focused on the delivery of medical systems, devices, and spare parts to healthcare providers as
well as delivery of a limited range of mother and baby products.
The ongoing situation in the Middle East further increases economic and political uncertainty.
Philips is present in Israel with several subsidiaries, mainly in Diagnosis & Treatment and
Connected Care, that are primarily involved in manufacturing and research and development
activities.
3.1.2 Outlook
Philips remains focused on successfully executing its three-year plan to drive operational
improvements and create value with sustainable impact, within a challenging macro
environment. For 2025, Philips expects:
• 1%-3% comparable sales growth, including a mid- to high-single-digit decline in China
• Adjusted EBITA margin increasing 30-80 bps to 11.8%-12.3%
• Free cash flow before payment of the USD 1.1 billion cash-out relating to the US medical
monitoring and personal injury settlements will be at the lower end of the range of EUR 1.4
billion to EUR 1.6 billion. Net of this cash-out, free cash flow will be EUR 0.4 billion to EUR
0.6 billion.
We anticipate comparable sales growth to be back-end-loaded in the year, with a mid-single-
digit decline in Q1 mainly due to lower demand in China and royalties phasing, with
correspondingly lower Adjusted EBITA margin.
The outlook includes the impact of the recently announced US-China tariffs. It excludes ongoing
Philips Respironics-related legal proceedings, including the investigation by the US Department
of Justice.

Group sales in 2024 amounted to EUR 18,021 million, 1% lower than in 2023 on a nominal basis.
Considering a 2% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales growth*
was 1% The negative currency effect was mainly due to depreciation of currencies against the euro,
and affected all segments. In addition, Group sales were negatively impacted by China, mainly as a
result of adverse market developments.
Comparable order intake increased to 1% in 2024, compared to a 6% decline in 2023.
Comparable order intake is not a financial measure, but is presented when discussing the Philips
Group's performance. For further details, refer to the Other Key Performance indicators section.
Diagnosis & Treatment
In 2024, sales amounted to EUR 8,790 million, in line with the nominal sales in 2023 . Considering a
2% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales* increased by 1%. This
was driven by mid-single-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy, partly offset by a decline in
Precision Diagnosis mainly due to the extended hospital procurement cycles as a result of the
ongoing industry wide anti-corruption campaign in China.
Connected Care
In 2024, sales amounted to EUR 5,134 million, in line with the nominal sales in 2023 . Considering a
2% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales* increased by 2%. This
growth was mainly driven by mid-single-digit growth in Enterprise Informatics, double-digit growth
in Sleep & Respiratory Care, partly offset by a low-single-digit decline in Monitoring on the back of
double-digit growth in 2023.
Personal Health
In 2024, sales amounted to EUR 3,486 million, 3% lower than in 2023 on a nominal basis.
Considering a 2% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, growth in comparable sales
was (1)%. This was mainly due to deteriorated demand in China due to cautious spending

Sales in Western Europe increased year-on-year on a nominal and comparable basis* with double-
digit growth in the Connected Care segment and low-single-digit growth in the Diagnosis &
Treatment and the Personal Health segments. Sales in North America increased year-on-year on a
nominal and comparable basis* with mid-single-digit growth in the Diagnosis & Treatment
segment and low-single-digit growth in Connected Care segment, which was partly offset by a
low-single-digit decline in the Personal Health segment. Sales in Other mature geographies
decreased year-on-year, mainly due to lower sales in segment Other which was partly offset by
low-single-digit comparable sales growth* in the Diagnosis & Treatment and the Personal Health
segments. Connected Care segment sales growth in Other mature geographies was flat.
In Growth geographies in 2024 comparable sales growth* was negative in all segments mainly due
to lower demand from consumers and health systems in China.

Personal Health
Income from operations decreased to EUR 544 million in 2024, compared to EUR 552 million in
2023. This was mainly due to lower sales as a result of the decline in China, partly offset by
operational improvements and productivity actions. Adjusted EBITA* remained stable at 17% of
sales in 2024.
Other
In Other we report on the items Innovation & Strategy, IP Royalties, Central costs and Other.

EUR (190) million in 2023. Adjusted EBITA* amounted to a loss of EUR (18) million, compared to a
loss of EUR (73) million in 2023. The increase in Income from operations and Adjusted EBITA* was
mainly driven by higher royalty income and lower costs.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses resulted in a net expense of EUR 282 million in 2024, compared to a
net expense of EUR 314 million in 2023, mainly driven by higher interest income on cash and cash
equivalents and higher net foreign exchange losses in 2023, partly offset by higher interest
expenses and provision-related accretion costs.
Income taxes
Income tax expense increased to EUR 963 million in 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of
EUR 73 million in 2023. The income tax expense increased by EUR 1,036 million year-on-year,
mainly due to the de-recognition of deferred tax assets in the US and higher income before tax in
2024, as well as recognition of historical tax credits in 2023.
Investments in associates
Results related to investments in associates declined from a loss of EUR 98 million in 2023 to a loss
of EUR 124 million in 2024. 2024 includes impairments of EUR 103 million and share of results of

for sale.
Net income and earnings per share

compared to 2023, mainly due to higher tax expenses partly offset by higher gross margin and
lower Respironics related items. 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.
Income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) -
diluted, was EUR (0.90) in 2024, compared to EUR (0.48) in 2023. Adjusted income from

In 2024, total debt decreased by EUR 50 million compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily the
result of repayment of existing debt and leases as well as the maturity of forward contracts related to
the share buyback program and long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans, partly offset by
the issuance of principal amount of EUR 700 million fixed rate notes maturing in 2032. The remainder
of proceeds from the new issuance will be used for the repayment of USD bond maturities in 2025.
Changes in payment obligations from forward contracts relate to the maturity of EUR 167 million of
share buyback forwards and EUR 146 million of forwards relating to long-term incentive and employee
stock purchase plans. This was partially offset by new forwards for long-term incentive and employee
stock purchase plans of EUR 65 million (as announced in August 2024).
In 2023, total debt decreased by EUR 512 million compared to 2022. The decrease mainly comes
from maturing forward contracts related to the share buyback program and long-term incentive
and employee stock purchase plans, and repayments of long-term debt including leases, partly
offset by the issuance of EUR 500 million of fixed rate notes that mature in 2031.
At the end of 2024 , long-term debt as a proportion of the total debt stood at 93% with an
average remaining term (including current portion) of 5.9 years, compared to 91% and 6 years,

industries. Refer to Other financial assets and Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
In 2024, Philips extended the maturity of its EUR 1 billion committed revolving credit facility to
2029. The facility can be used for general group purposes, such as a backstop for its Commercial
Paper Program.
Philips’ Commercial Paper Program amounts to USD 2.5 billion, under which commercial paper can
be issued up to 364 days in tenor, both in the US and in Europe, in any major freely convertible
currency. As of December 31, 2024, Philips had no commercial paper outstanding.
Philips established a Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) program which facilitates the issuance of
notes for a total amount of up to EUR 10 billion. In 2024, Philips issued EUR 700 million fixed rate
notes due 2032 under the program for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of
existing debt.
The company’s liquidity risk management procedures have not changed significantly during 2024.
The access to existing lines of credit remains intact. These lines of credit, along with other financial
risks to which Philips is exposed, are disclosed in Details of treasury and other financial risks.
Further, with respect to potential claims related to the Respironics recall, please refer to
Contingencies. Management continues to monitor the risks associated with such potential claims
and its impact on liquidity position, if any.
Philips’ existing long-term debt is rated BBB+ (with stable outlook) by Fitch, Baa1 (changed from
negative to stable outlook in 2024) by Moody’s, and BBB+ (changed from negative to stable
outlook in 2024) by Standard & Poor’s. As part of our capital allocation policy, our net debt
position is managed with the intention of retaining our strong 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 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.

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 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.
Debt includes forward contracts of EUR 142 million (nominal value) relating to the repurchase of
shares to cover long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. In 2024, Philips entered
into a forward contract for EUR 65 million that matures in 2026 relating to the repurchase of up to
2.5 million shares for long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans.
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. As of December 31, 2024, approximately EUR 97 million (2023 :
EUR 114 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 various provisions by the end of 2024 which are expected to result in cash
outflows in 2025. Refer to Provisions.
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 130
million (2023: EUR 153 million). Capital contributions already made to these investment funds are
recorded as non-current financial assets.
Please refer to Dividend for information on the proposed dividend distribution.
Please refer to Equity 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 2024 and 2023. Remaining off-balance-sheet business-related
guarantees on behalf of third parties and associates amount to EUR 343 million as of December 31,
2024 (December 31, 2023: EUR 2 million). These mainly include bank guarantees secured for
insurance companies to cover product liability-related cash flows related to the Respironics recall.
3.4.4 Dividend
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 * .
Proposed distribution
A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 8,
2025, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in shares or cash at the option of
the shareholder, against retained earnings.
If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend at the Euronext
Amsterdam as of May 12, 2025, and at the New York Stock Exchange as of May 13, 2025. In
compliance with the listing requirements of Euronext Amsterdam and the New York Stock
Exchange, the dividend record date will be May 13, 2025.
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between shares and cash between
May 14 and June 2, 2025, for shares traded at the New York Stock Exchange, and between May
14 and June 3, 2025, for shares traded at Euronext Amsterdam. If no choice is made during this
election period, the dividend will be distributed in shares.

| 36 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Of the total dividend distribution to all shareholders (up to EUR 786 million), a maximum of 50%
will be available for payment in cash. If shareholders in total elect to receive an aggregate amount
of cash dividend that exceeds the maximum percentage of the total dividend amount, those
shareholders who elected to receive their dividend in cash will receive their cash dividend on a pro-
rata basis, the remainder being distributed in shares.
The number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based
on the volume weighted average price of all traded common shares of Koninklijke Philips N.V. at
Euronext Amsterdam on May 30, June 2 and June 3, 2025. The company will calculate the number
of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share (the ratio), such that the gross dividend
in shares will be approximately equal to EUR 0.85. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued
will be announced on June 5, 2025. Delivery of new common shares and payment of the dividend,
with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 6, 2025.

“We are proud of the progress we made in 2024 on our ambition to
be a responsible and sustainable company. Our integrated approach
to ESG enables Philips to deliver better care for more people and
create sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders.”
Marnix van Ginneken Chief ESG & Legal Officer Royal Philips
Philips has a long history of doing business sustainably, both in the environmental as well as the
social dimension. This is not only a matter of responsible business, it also drives our company
success and innovation. We have been recognized as a front-runner in the area of sustainability and
for leading the way in, for example, climate action, tax transparency, supplier sustainability and
sustainability reporting.
Our first environmental programs go back to the 1980s and were focused on reducing the
environmental impact of our sites. This was later enhanced by our EcoDesign program, through
which we aimed to reduce the environmental impact of our products. After that, we included the
impact of our value chain, first through our supplier sustainability program, followed by
engagements with our customers. This culminated in our Science Based Targets, and we are proud
that we were the first healthcare company to have its value chain emission reduction plan validated
and approved by the Science Based Target initiative, and to have been included in the Carbon
Disclosure Project's ‘A-list’ for 12 years in a row.
Philips also has a strong social track record, having been a pioneer with its pension plan and health
insurance for its employees in the previous century, paying at least a living wage to its employees,
and being recognized as an employer of choice. Like our environmental programs, we expanded
our programs to include employees in our supply chain more than 10 years ago.
In addition, we can build on a tradition of sustainability reporting, beginning with our first
Environmental Annual Report published in 1999. In 2003, we expanded the Environmental Annual
Report with the launch of our first Sustainability Annual Report. This report provided details of our
social and economic performance in addition to our environmental results. Next, in 2008, we
published our first integrated financial, social and environmental report. Since then, our
sustainability reporting has developed further from year to year, now covering the Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions.
This Annual Report is our 17th annual integrated financial and sustainability report. Although the
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ((EU) 2022/2464) has not been implemented into
Dutch law yet, the sustainability report included herein has been written to comply with disclosure
requirements of the underlying European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Refer to
General basis for preparation to see which chapters and sections together constitute our
sustainability statement.
In this chapter, we explain how we act and perform in the environmental and social dimensions,
and we describe the main elements of our governance framework. The ESG information in this
chapter is further explained and underpinned in greater detail in Sustainability statement.
Following our Double Materiality Assessment, we report in this chapter on these material topics on
which ESRS have been published:
• Climate change (ESRS E1)
• Resource use and circular economy (ESRS E5)
• Own workforce (ESRS S1)
• Workers in the value chain (ESRS S2)
• Consumers and end-users (ESRS S4)
• Business conduct (ESRS G1)
Our reporting is aligned with the comprehensive and integrated Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) commitments we have adopted for the period 2020-2025.

ESG governance
The above is an overview of our current key ESG commitments. Through these commitments and the
underlying ESG programs, metrics, road maps, goals and targets we specify and operationalize the
ambitions in our 2020-2025 ESG plan. The Board of Management, including the Chief ESG & Legal
Officer, is responsible for the design and management of our 2020-2025 ESG plan and typically
convenes the Group Sustainability team and (where relevant) Business, Region or Function leaders four
times per year on ESG matters. During these meetings, the Board of Management defines Philips’ ESG
strategy, commitments, programs, action plans and policies, as well as oversees major transactions,
monitors progress on ESG priorities, and takes corrective action where needed. Progress on ESG is
communicated internally and externally on our results website on a quarterly basis and at least annually
to the Executive Committee and the Supervisory Board. The ultimate oversight of the ESG dimensions,
and their integration into the company’s overarching strategy, is a responsibility of the Supervisory Board
as a whole because of the significance of ESG matters. While retaining this overall responsibility, the
Supervisory Board is supported by the Audit Committee, which meets quarterly to discuss significant
developments in impacts, risks and opportunities, developments in ESG reporting, and other relevant
topics. Please refer to the Supervisory Board report for the Supervisory Board members with specific ESG
and sustainability expertise, and the Supervisory Board's ESG-related activities during the year. The
Supervisory Board as a whole has sufficient ESG and sustainability-related expertise relevant to the sector
in which the company is operating, also considering the way we address impacts, risks and
opportunities with respect to the material topics identified through our Double Materiality Assessment.
Furthermore, both our Board of Management and our Supervisory Board leverage all relevant expertise
through their direct access to the Group Sustainability team and (where relevant) external experts.
In our sustainability statement we explain the progress made in the execution of our ESG plan.
However, nothing in our statement should be read or construed to represent or imply a guarantee
or any other legally enforceable obligation vis-à-vis our stakeholders. We do what is reasonable and
practical, and we actively partner with our stakeholders to achieve our aspirational goals and
targets, while acknowledging and weighing economic and practical constraints and other external
factors that may limit our ability to control environmental and social impacts, in particular beyond
our own operations. It is furthermore noted that our ESG efforts and our globally applying
aspirational goals and targets, including but not limited to those related to diversity, inclusion and
well-being, are subject to our compliance with local rules and regulations, some of which may
conflict across jurisdictions.
4.1 Environmental
Our global operations and supply chain impact the environment, yet our greatest potential impact
is in our downstream value chain through the sustainable design of our products and solutions.
Through this work, we contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 12 and 13.
This section provides an overview of key environmental indicators relevant to our ESG
commitments. Our focus is on the material topics identified through our Double Materiality
Assessment – climate change and resource use and circular economy – but we also address
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services as some rating agencies expect us to provide information on
this. Further details are available in Sustainability statement .
4.1.1 Measuring our environmental impact
Philips has been performing Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) since 1990. These LCAs provide insight
into the lifetime environmental impact of our products. They are used to steer our EcoDesign
efforts by reducing the environmental impact during the lifetime of our products and to grow our
Green/EcoDesigned/EcoHero and Circular portfolio. Beyond that, for the eighth year, we have
measured our environmental impact on society at large via an Environmental Profit & Loss (EP&L)
statement, 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 statement is based on LCA methodology, in which the environmental impacts are
expressed in monetary terms using conversion factors developed by CE Delft . As we gain new
insights and retrieve more and better data in the future, we will be able to enhance the
methodology, use-cases and accuracy of results. For more information and details refer to our
methodology document .
Environmental Profit & Loss statement 2024
Philips reduced its EP&L impact in 2024 to EUR 3.82 billion, compared with the EP&L impact of EUR
4.21 billion in 2023. This is mainly due to differences in sales mix.
The most significant environmental impact, 48% of the total, is related to the use of sold products,
which is due to electricity consumption. Human toxicity (mainly linked to electricity generation),
particulate matter formation, and climate change are the key environmental impact categories
contributing to this result. The environmental costs include the environmental impact of the lifetime
of the products that we put on the market in 2024, e.g., 10 years in the case of an MRI machine or
five years in the case of a Sonicare toothbrush. Products identified as rentals are the only exception,
with an energy consumption of one year. As we expand our EcoDesign activities, with the aim to
have all our new product introductions in line with our EcoDesign requirements by 2025, we expect
to better report on the environmental impact in the years to come.
Of the total 2024 impact, just EUR 272 million (7%) is directly related to Philips’ own operations,
mainly driven by outbound logistics, followed by business travel. This impact is similar to 2023 (EUR
261 million) with the slight increase due to increased business travel.
Our materials and components supply chain, including raw materials supply, processing, waste,
volatile organic compounds, and water, as well as packaging, has an environmental impact of
some EUR 1.71 billion, which is 45% of our total environmental impact. The main contributors are
the electronic components (including printed circuit boards), cables and metals used in our
products. Through our Circular Economy and Supplier Sustainability programs we continue to focus
on reducing the environmental impact caused by the materials we source and apply in our
products. With the insights gained through the EP&L, we aim to optimize our climate impact by
providing our Businesses with actionable insights.

Notes on the EP&L statement
• The definition of the use-case scenarios has a significant impact on the result, especially for
consumer products, which have large sales volumes, long lifetimes and typically high energy
consumption.
• The current EP&L statement 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 in the future.
• The EcoInvent 3.9.1 data set was used for 2023 and 2024 reporting .
4.1.2 Climate change
Climate change has been a material topic for Philips for many years. Research from the Potsdam
Institute for Climate Impact Research shows that over 4% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions are caused by the healthcare sector. 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 corporations should lead the transition to a low-carbon economy. This will not only
reduce the impact on the environment but will also positively impact social and economic aspects.
For example, transitioning from air to ocean freight frequently leads to cost savings, and designing
energy efficient products can help hospitals reduce their operational expenditure.
Carbon neutral operations since 2020
During the COP21 United Nations Climate Conference in Paris in 2015, we committed to become
carbon-neutral in our own operations, pursue all efforts to reduce our operational emissions,
source all our electricity from 100% renewable sources, and offset all unavoidable emissions by
year-end 2020. We delivered on a comprehensive program that included energy-efficiency
improvements, on-site renewables, and Power Purchase Agreements, as well as transport mode
shifts to low-carbon-emitting alternatives. As a result, we have significantly reduced our operational
carbon footprint compared to the baseline 2020.
Since 2020, Philips has been carbon-neutral in its own operations (Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 -
business travel and transportation & distribution). Although we prioritize carbon reduction, our
comprehensive carbon offsetting program is still necessary to ensure carbon neutrality in our own
operations.

In 2024, we experienced an increase in our operational carbon footprint compared with 2023. This
has primarily been driven by increased air travel of our employees, for example to meet with
customers, as well as a significant uplift of the air freight emission factors. This is further explained
in Climate change . We have introduced key performance indicators with the aim to reverse this
development.
Reducing our value chain emissions
The majority of our environmental impact either resides downstream during the use phase or
upstream as part of our purchased goods and services. Therefore, we are teaming up with both
internal and external stakeholders to ensure we reduce our climate impact, not only in our
operations, but throughout our value chain.
In 2024 we reduced our value chain emissions by 596,769 tonnes CO 2 -equivalent (CO 2 -e)
compared with 2023 and 2,994,720 tonnes CO 2 -e compared with our 2020 Scope 3 baseline. This
is primarily driven by differences in sales mix (reduction in sales of impactful products), energy
efficiency improvements and reduction in purchased goods emissions.

To continue to drive down our emissions across our value chain we remain focused on the
following objectives:
• designing energy-efficient products and collaborating with our customers to reduce emissions
during the use-phase
• minimizing our purchased goods emissions by adopting circular economy practices and
transitioning to more sustainable materials
• collaborating with our suppliers to reduce emissions in our supply chain
• reducing emissions from logistics by optimizing route planning and exploring sustainable
alternatives
• transitioning to lower carbon energy at our sites
Emissions are monitored and managed on at least a quarterly basis and reviewed on a Business-by-
Business basis through key performance indicators.
Philips reports all its emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Recognition
Our efforts are acknowledged by CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project), a global
NGO that assesses the greenhouse gas emission performance and management of reporting
companies. In 2024, we were ranked on the CDP Climate Change ’A’ List for our continued climate
performance and transparency for the 13th consecutive year.
Actions related to the achievement of our targets are governed by our Environmental policy , which
incorporates input from Philips' regulatory, design, sustainability, supply chain, and operations
stakeholders, as well as the voice of our customers.
For more information on our Climate Action progress in 2024, please refer to Climate change.
4.1.3 Resource use and circular economy
A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the consumption of natural resources
and ecosystems by optimizing their use, eliminating waste and pollution, and circulating products
and materials for as long as possible, while giving natural systems the opportunity to regenerate
themselves. The way we take, make and use materials not only impacts resource scarcity, but also
has a significant impact on both climate and nature, as 45% of global GHG emissions come from
the way products are made and used , and more than 90% of biodiversity loss stems from
extraction and processing. Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the
world. At the same time, the healthcare industry is also a resource-intense industry which,
according to the Circularity Gap Report 2020 , uses 10% of materials extracted globally, every year.
Bringing this back to Philips’ impact on the planet, our use of materials accounts for 40% of our
total environmental impact based on our EP&L methodology, which includes raw material supply,
manufacturing, waste and packaging. Therefore, in addition to the use of renewable energy and
energy efficiency, the transition to a circular economy will be essential to meet our global climate
goals and to protect nature.
The Circular Economy program at Philips ran for the 12th year in 2024, building on more than 30
years’ experience of applying resource efficiency through our sustainability programs. Our ambition
is to help our customers and consumers to ‘do more with less’ and drive the circular transformation
across the value chain together with our partners. We apply Philips’ circularity principles ‘use less,
use longer and use again’ across five strategic areas.
Circular Economy program: five strategic areas

| 44 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Across these strategic areas for circularity, we have set ambitious targets to help us deliver on our
commitments to generate 25% of our revenue from products, services and solutions contributing
to circularity; design all new product introductions in line with our EcoDesign requirements; embed
circular practices at our sites and put zero waste to landfill; and offer responsible take-back on all
professional medical equipment by 2025.
In 2024, Philips increased its circular revenues to 24%, a step-up of 4 percentage points compared
with the previous year, mainly driven by contributions from circular design. Philips also achieved
100% EcoDesigned new product introductions (NPIs). This is the first year of disclosing the results
of this target.
In 2024, Philips achieved 94% circular materials management, compared with 91% in 2023. This is
because of improved operational waste management, for instance through reuse of materials and
through establishing new partnerships for previously non-recycled materials. We achieved our zero
waste to landfill commitment in 2024 as we did in 2023, with 0.0% waste to landfill.
In 2024, Philips continued to ‘close the loop’ on large medical equipment while also extending the
commitment to small medical equipment. As a result, Philips has reclaimed more than 8,600
systems and pieces of equipment in 2024. This is a decrease compared with 2023, mainly affected
by fewer Philips systems and equipment made available, influenced also by market conditions.
Beyond Philips' 2025 circularity targets, we also look at the impact of the targets on our material
flows. There, we do not only look at the total weight of materials from products, parts and
packaging that we deliver to customers and consumers, but also how we help to optimize products
while in use and what happens to them at end-of-use (see accompanying visual). Philips leverages
partnerships to help scale the circular economy globally. For example, we are a key member of the
Global Circularity Protocol (GCP) led by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
Together with UN Environment Program One Planet Network, we use a global business framework
to set targets, measure and disclose progress on circularity. We are also a long-standing partner of
the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
Philips’ circular journey is furthermore closely connected with the developments around regulations,
metrics and reporting. Together with other companies, Philips is actively supporting global and
national governments in creating impactful and practical laws, regulations, and guidelines. For
instance, we have a leading role in the Dutch Circular Economy Agenda.
EcoDesign
We see a growing demand from our customers, including hospitals and retailers, to help them
reduce the environmental impact of their own operations and beyond. To support their
environmental ambitions, we are working to reduce the environmental impact of our products over
the total life cycle. As a product’s environmental impact is influenced by decisions made at the
design stage, embedding EcoDesign in our product development cycle is essential.
The EcoDesign program focuses on four areas – energy, substances, circularity and packaging –
aiming to increase energy efficiency, avoid the use of hazardous substances, optimize the use of
materials and improve packaging across the product life cycle.
In 2024, 100% of our NPIs were EcoDesigned, driven by full adoption of the EcoDesign
requirements for hardware NPIs in our Business Units. Our EcoHero revenues amounted to 21.9%
compared with 15.9% in 2023. Historically, most EcoHero contributions relate to improvements in
energy use. In 2024, packaging and circularity (weight reduction and sustainable materials) were
the fastest growing contributors.
In addition to these target metrics, we also measure Green Innovation Spend and Green Revenues.
Investments in Green Innovation in 2024 amounted to EUR 263 million compared with EUR 142
million in 2023, driven by projects that develop new EcoDesigned products and technologies, and
by innovation projects that maintain existing EcoDesigned products. Green Revenues amounted to
EUR 13.8 billion in 2024, or 76.4% of sales (compared with 70.5% in 2023). The results reflect the
growth of our portfolio of Green and EcoDesigned products and services, and reporting
improvements.

4.1.4 Other environmental information
Biodiversity and ecosystem services
Philips recognizes the importance of healthy ecosystems and biodiversity for our company, our
employees, and society, even though we have not identified this as a material topic through our
Double Materiality Assessment. Since 2021, Philips has a natural capital program, focusing on
reducing our chemicals footprint and water consumption, and on improving biodiversity and
ecosystem services. For more details related to our own operations, see Sustainable Operations.
By creating healthy ecosystems, the biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) program supports the
mitigation of nature and climate-related risks for our sites, as assessed in the Task Force on
Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report.
In 2024, as part of the (BES) program, Philips evaluated the total area and ecological value of each
manufacturing site, establishing a baseline to measure improvements in future years. Together with
our partners, we are working to develop more advanced BES metrics suitable for industrial areas.
Philips Group
Biodiversity and ecosystem service improvements

Year | BES improvement
2022 | • BES Ambassador training at our manufacturing sites • Manufacturing sites delivered some 80 potential measures to enhance biodiversity on-site • Tracked BES performance at our manufacturing sites with a ecosystem services mapping tool to identify ecosystems that provide services to our facilities
2023 | • Implemented 23 biodiversity improvement measures selected for manufacturing sites • Completed activities, as planting native trees in India, creating flower gardens in China, and creating habitats for endangered bee species in Central America
2024 | • Established an internal metric to drive biodiversity activities in manufacturing sites based on land-use • Implemented 16 BES improvements on 21,000 m 2 in our manufacturing sites • Implemented four BES improvements impacting 35,000 m 2 • Supporting and engaging with local communities

Activities in and around our manufacturing sites consider the biome, endangered ecosystems,
climate risks, local restrictions and needs of the community and employees. For example, in 2024,
we re-designed the customer-facing entrance at our Colorado Springs site to only include drought
resistant, native plants, as the site is in a water-stressed area. Our site in Zhuhai, China, we
unsealed the parking lots to improve water permeation during heavy rains and therefore reduce
flood and drought risks and improve soil health. Our site in Batam, Indonesia, engaged its

employees and management in planting trees, which provide fruit to employees, blossoms to
pollinators, and shade, and help reduce air pollution. The manufacturing site in Costa Rica
supported a sanctuary for endangered wildlife, to combat biodiversity loss in rainforests. Employees
around the world also engaged in clean-ups, and biodiversity workshops. Such efforts contribute
not only to environmental goals but also to making Philips a 'best place to work', one of our ESG
commitments.
Philips considers improving biodiversity on its own land as a important first step toward reducing
biodiversity impact in other parts of its value chain.
By systematically quantifying and reducing the environmental impact of our operations, our supply
chain and the use-phase of our products, we aim to actively protect and restore biodiversity loss.
We will publish our second Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) report in 2025
following the LEAP approach.
For more information refer to Resource use and circular economy.
4.2 Social
As a leading health technology company, it is our purpose to improve people’s health and well-
being through meaningful innovation. Our people are key to delivering on our promise of impact
with care – we aim to be the best place to work for people who share our passion.
4.2.1 Improving people’s lives
Lack of access to affordable, quality care is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Climate
change is exacerbating this situation and putting the lives of millions of people at risk. At Philips,
we are conscious of our responsibilities toward society and the planet. We aim to improve the lives
of 2.5 billion people a year by 2030, including 400 million medically underserved individuals.
To ensure we remain on track to achieve this goal, we have developed an integrated approach that
tells us how many lives have been improved by our products and solutions in a given year. We call
this our lives improved model, and it helps us to track our performance on a country-by-country
basis in line with UN SDG 3, allowing us to shape strategies 'to ensure healthy lives and promote
well-being for all at all ages'. In 2024, we improved the lives of 1.96 billion people, of which 242
million were in medically underserved communities. The increase in lives improved was mainly
driven by our Monitoring, Enterprise Informatics and Image Guided Therapy businesses, as well as
efforts by the teams in Greater China, Latin America, the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East,
Türkiye and Africa.
Philips understands that it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the relationship among all
stakeholders and their specific needs in order to support underserved communities. By combining
the strengths of Philips, Philips Ventures, Philips Foundation, and its partners, we aim to make a
positive impact by providing access to effective and affordable healthcare for those in greatest
need, and improve health outcomes for all. Philips' reported Lives improved results only include
contributions by Philips Group.

4.2.2 Our organization, people and culture
In 2024, we have built upon the foundation laid in 2023. We have made significant strides in
refining our operating model, and inspiring and generating commitment among our workforce.
Our dedication to patients, customers, consumers and our people has strengthened, and we have
evolved our organizational culture and capabilities.

| 47 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Our People transformation goals for 2024 were threefold: renew our culture, increase leadership
and people capabilities, and continue to simplify our ways of working to deliver our purpose and
plan to create value with sustainable impact.
Our culture
In 2024, we introduced a new culture framework centered on 'impact with care' for patients,
people and the planet. This framework focuses on patient safety, quality, and integrity, supported
by four cornerstones: Clarity and Simplicity, Execution and Performance, Accountability and
Empowerment, and Learning and Collaboration. We remain committed to our transformation
journey. We will continue to refine and strengthen our approach, ensuring that 'impact with care'
becomes deeply ingrained in every aspect of our operations.
We recognize that embedding our culture happens by living it, and that small changes catalyze
systemic shifts. A key achievement in this process was engaging 3,000 people leaders on our
purpose, strategy, and culture, laying a strong foundation for organizational alignment. To support
our transformation, we increased the visibility of key performance metrics across the organization,
fostering transparency and accountability. We also launched a company-wide performance
management system aligned with our new cultural cornerstones, improving goal clarity and
accountability.
We attach great importance to the health and well-being of our workforce and to creating an
environment of inclusion and belonging, where all employees feel psychologically safe. This is not
only a matter of responsible business, it also drives our company success and innovation. When we
embrace diverse perspectives and attract and retain engaged employees from a wide range of
backgrounds, we create better products, services and solutions for our customers and communities.
We are also committed to being an equal-opportunity employer, ensuring that all hiring,
promotions, and pay decisions are based solely on merit, qualifications and performance. We do
not discriminate on the basis of factors as race, color, age, gender, religion, or any other status in
our recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, compensation or employment practices.
Our People Engagement Survey saw increased participation, with a response rate of 84% (almost
58,000 employees). Despite the ongoing changes within the organization, we observed a positive
trend in our Employee Engagement Index, with an increase of 5 percentage points to 78% in
2024. While this improvement is encouraging and indicates that the organization is adapting well
to the changes, it is worth noting that this figure is still 2% below the high performance norm.
At Philips, we strive for an injury-free and illness-free work environment. Since 2016, the Total
Recordable Cases (TRC) rate and Lost Workday Injury Case (LWIC) rate have been defined as key
performance indicators. A recordable case is defined as a case where an injured employee
undergoes medical treatment or sustains an occupational illness. LWICs are defined as occupational
injury cases where an injured person is unable to work for one or more days after the injury. We set
yearly TRC rate targets for the company, Businesses and manufacturing and R&D sites. We
recorded 151 TRCs in 2024, a 12% reduction compared with 2023. The TRC rate decreased from
0.24 per 100 FTEs in 2023 to 0 .21 i n 2024. We also recorded 77 LWIC. This represents a 14 %
decrease compared with 90 in 2023. The LWIC rate decreased to 0. 11 per 100 FTEs in 2024,
compared with 0.12 in 2023.
Please refer to Social information for further information.
Leadership and people capabilities
In terms of talent development, we have made significant progress. Internal mobility reached 30%,
demonstrating our commitment to developing internal talent. Women now represent 33% of
senior leadership positions, where our 2025 target is 35%. Overall employee turnover decreased to
14.8%, down from 17.6% in 2023, indicating improved retention strategies. Notably, we
increased retention of top talent, with turnover in this group decreasing from 12.3% in 2023 to
6% in 2024 (see Workforce details) . We also increased hiring for medtech and functional expertise
to bolster our capabilities in critical areas. From a learning, engagement, and growth perspective,
3,164,129 hours of personal and professional development were formally registered in 2024 (see
Workforce of the future ).
Simplifying how we work
Nearing the end of the second year of our operating model, we made significant strides in refining
our approach and addressing key areas for improvement. We remain focused on successfully
executing our three-year plan and are determined to further build on our industry-leading
innovations, improve our fundamentals, simplify how we work, and ensure we are more
competitive and more agile. Our efforts focused on fine-tuning resources and decision rights,
improving portfolio management, implementing integrated and customer-driven product
management, advancing commercial excellence, and accelerating our service capabilities.
Innovation and impact remained at the forefront of our efforts. We initiated cross-functional
innovation teams focused on patient-centric solutions.
Our focus on patient safety, quality, and integrity, coupled with our commitment to empowering
our people and driving innovation, positions us strongly to achieve our goal of improving the lives
of 2.5 billion people a year by 2030.
4.2.3 Human rights
Philips believes that companies have both the responsibility to respect human rights and the ability
to protect them. Philips’ Human Rights Policy, General Business Principles, Supplier Sustainability
Declaration and other relevant policies guide our actions, in line with the International Bill of
Human Rights and the International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles
and Rights at Work.
Philips also follows the guidance in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and
the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational
Enterprises.

| 48 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

The Philips Board of Management is ultimately responsible for setting the human rights strategy
and managing human rights. It is supported by a cross-functional project team, composed of a
human rights manager and professionals from several Businesses, and it drives initiatives with
oversight from the Human Rights Steering Committee, consisting of senior leaders from Integrated
Supply Chain, Legal, People, and Group Sustainability.
In 2024, we continued to develop our due diligence strategy by conducting Human Rights Impact
Assessments (HRIAs). Philips conducted HRIAs at its sites in China and Indonesia, living up to its
commitment of conducting regular HRIAs at 100% of its at-risk sites. Philips intends to monitor the
progress and findings from at-risk sites and take them on a continuous improvement journey
regarding human rights topics.
Although the HRIA of selected sites is primarily focused on Philips' own operations, a derived deep-
dive approach for certain suppliers has been established since 2022. For five suppliers, a focused
assessment on human rights was conducted in 2024; this is distinct from the broader supplier
sustainability assessment approach, which covers sustainability more holistically as indicated in
Supplier sustainability & Workers in the value chain .
Our Human Rights Report contains detailed information regarding our progress, targets, and plans
for continuous improvement.
4.2.4 Supplier sustainability
Sustainability is a focus for the Integrated Supply Chain Function, which is actively collaborating
with our partners, whether these be component suppliers or energy or logistics providers. Close
cooperation with our suppliers not only helps us deliver health technology innovations, but it also
supports new approaches that help us minimize our environmental impact and maximize the social
and economic value we create.
In 2024, our programs focused specifically on improving supplier sustainability performance,
advancing human rights, responsibly sourcing minerals, and reducing the environmental footprint
of our supply base by driving the adoption of Science Based Targets.
The sustainability performance of our suppliers is fully embedded in our procurement strategy and
ways of working. We have a direct (tier 1) business relationship with approximately 4,400 product
and component suppliers and 15,100 service providers. Social and environmental issues deeper in
our supply chain also require us to intervene beyond tier 1 suppliers. We want to make a difference
through sustainable supply management and responsible sourcing. This is more than just managing
compliance – it is about collaborating with our supply partners to make a positive and lasting
impact.
Through the Supplier Sustainability Performance program, our maturity-based approach to drive
continuous improvement, we improved the lives of approximately 936,000 workers in our supply
chain in 2024 (2023: 723,000). Collaborating with our strategic partners, we increased the number
of deep-dives at tier 2 suppliers, actively supporting them to become more effective in their own
sustainability engagement approaches toward their suppliers.
Detailed information on our supplier sustainability programs is available in Supplier sustainability &
Workers in the value chain of this Annual Report.
4.2.5 Philips Foundation
Stichting Philips Foundation , an independent foundation organized under Dutch law, is a registered
charity established in 2014. In 2024, Royal Philips supported Philips Foundation with a contribution
of EUR 6.7 million and provided the operating staff as well as the expert assistance of skilled
volunteers in the execution of the Foundation’s programs.
Philips Foundation’s mission is to reduce healthcare inequality by providing access to quality
healthcare for underserved communities through meaningful innovation. It does this through the
provision and application of Philips’ healthcare expertise, innovation power, talent and resources, as
well as through financial support. Together with key partners around the globe (e.g., nonprofit
organizations, academic partners, and entrepreneurs), Philips Foundation seeks to identify
challenges where a combination of healthcare technology expertise and partner experience can be
used to create meaningful solutions that have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Philips Foundation works in projects (grant-based) and through impact investments (e.g., loans or
equity). The instrument depends on the status and self-sustainability of the respective healthcare
technology in serving more disadvantaged communities.
For more information on the Philips Foundation, please refer to Philips Foundation .
4.3 Governance
As reflected through our key commitments in the governance dimension, we aim to deliver
superior long-term value for our customers and shareholders, and we seek to live up to the highest
standards of ethics and governance in our culture and practices. Building on those commitments,
this chapter describes the main elements of our governance framework that enable us to
operationalize our purpose by adopting a fully integrated approach to doing business responsibly
and sustainably.
4.3.1 Corporate governance
Management and oversight responsibilities and accountability within our company are ultimately
guided by the corporate governance of the parent company of the Philips group, Koninklijke Philips
N.V. (Royal Philips). Royal Philips is a company organized under Dutch law and its shares have been
listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange (Euronext Amsterdam) and on the New York Stock
Exchange.

| 49 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 members of the Board of Management, supported by the other members
of the Executive Committee, drive the company’s management agenda and share responsibility for
the continuity of the Philips group, focusing on sustainable long-term value creation. Our
independent Supervisory Board supervises the Board of Management and the Executive Committee
and advises them on general policies related to the activities of the company, including setting and
executing the strategy of the Philips Group.
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 20, 2022) and US laws and regulations applicable to
Foreign Private Issuers.
In its Corporate governance 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.
4.3.2 The Philips integrated operating model
Our operating model is designed to enable us to deliver on our purpose, driving impact and
creating value for our stakeholders. And to do so responsibly and sustainably, ensuring patient
safety, quality, compliance and integrity in everything we do. The model is intended to promote
accountability and agility, based on the following fundamentals:
• We serve our customers and consumers with patient safety and quality at the core of everything
we do.
• Our Business Units are in the lead and accountable for value creation through their value
streams.
• Our Regions and Functions enable value stream execution.
• Our leaders and teams are empowered to prioritize and allocate their resources for impact.
Our operating model integrates five organizational elements. We ensure alignment of the elements
to deliver on our strategic objectives, with clear accountability to drive flawless execution.
• Strategy
• Structure & Governance
• People & Culture
• Performance Management
• Policies, Processes, Systems & Data
The main governance aspects of our operating model are further explained below. More
information on our strategic focus, as well as our approach to people and culture, can be found in
Strategic Focus and Our Organization, people and culture , respectively.
Structure and governance
In order to meet the needs of patients, customers and consumers, our empowered Business Units
are supported by the Regions and Functions.
Business Units, Businesses and segments
Our Business Units are in the lead accountable for value creation through their value streams. Our
Business Unit leaders have full accountability for meeting customer needs and their end-to-end
P&L, including patient safety and quality and supply chain performance. Business Units are broken
down into business categories, where relevant.
The Businesses are lean, and their leaders ensure consistent alignment among the Business Units’
strategies and goals. They also execute performance management toward the Business Units,
including target setting.
Our segment leaders ensure strategic execution and focus cross-Business, and they are held
accountable by the Board of Management for the results of their underlying Businesses/Business
Units. The three segments are Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care and Personal Health, as also
disclosed in our external reporting.
Regions
We are organized in three Regions: North America, Greater China and International Region (the
latter consisting of Europe and Growth areas). Within our Regions, we further organize by Zones
and countries. The Regions’ primary accountability is to manage customer intimacy, build and
maintain relationships, and cultivate understanding of their needs, as well as carry out (strategic)
account management, service delivery, and indirect partner management. They are also
accountable for government relations and for providing the local infrastructure needed to support
Philips’ presence in a country (license to operate).
Functions
Our Functions’ core objective is to drive excellence (for reasons of skill, scope and scale) across the
organization. Functions deliver cost-effective services, ensure legal and regulatory requirements are
met, and propose enterprise policies, standards, guidance and infrastructure, as well as build and
share capabilities and expertise.
Performance management
We set ambitious targets and closely manage performance through a disciplined and focused
operating cadence. Our performance management system is based on an annual planning cycle, in
which we translate our vision and strategy into objectives and plans. The cycle starts with strategic
planning, where we define our long-term ambitions, both financial and non-financial, and set our
long-term priorities. Each year, Philips’ strategic plan is translated into an annual operating plan,

| 50 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

underpinned with Business Unit plans. Detailed plans to achieve the company’s targets are
cascaded into the organization and, ultimately, people’s personal objectives, making clear what
performance and behaviors are expected from them.
Policies, processes, systems and data
The 'freedom within a frame' we offer our Business Units provides a framework of policies,
processes, systems and data principles that apply throughout the organization. It allows them
flexibility to adapt to specific requirements in order to meet specific Business Unit needs.
Enterprise-wide policies provide high-level mandatory rules that are applicable across the company
and apply to all Philips employees. All enterprise-wide policies are maintained through a standard
process and approved by the Board of Management. Function leaders can set more specific policies
and standards within their mandate.
Philips’ processes are captured in our process framework, where we manage end-to-end
connections and define the critical process elements (including the ‘what’ and ‘how’, roles and
responsibilities, systems and data, and compliance requirements). The process framework provides
the foundation for all our management systems, including quality, environmental, and health and
safety, to ensure a compliant approach for processes, systems, data and competencies for a specific
management area.
4.3.3 Patient safety, quality and regulatory
Enabling the delivery of patient-centric, safe, and high-quality care – the essence of patient safety
and quality – is foundational to Philips’ purpose to improve the health and well-being of people
through meaningful innovation. The Patient Safety and Quality organization brings together the
quality and regulatory affairs functions as one unified team in close coordination with the Medical
Office. This team is positioned to support the Philips organization in fostering the quality culture and
implementing the capabilities, processes, and tools required for operating in the highly regulated
healthcare technology industry. This structured approach promotes non-conformance management,
high standards of product quality, and compliance. The Chief Patient Safety and Quality Officer is a
member of the Philips Executive Committee and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
Our processes are designed to address specific or potential negative impacts to patients, customers
or consumers and include:
• maintaining effective Quality Management Systems
• tracking Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) performance and supporting those who are
accountable for the performance and reporting results ultimately to the Board of Management
• performing external audits for compliance and standards certification
• performing internal audits
• having quarterly reviews by the Quality & Regulatory Committee of the Supervisory Board
As part of the complaint management framework, Philips investigates customer feedback as
necessary, utilizing the CAPA approach to help address and resolve complaints. A centralized
system collects, manages, addresses and stores feedback from customers.
Teams in all Businesses, Regions, and Functions foster a quality culture and mindset, where all
employees are encouraged to speak up and share ideas for improving the safety and efficacy of our
products. In October 2024, our employees took part in a dedicated Timeout for Patient Safety and
Quality to solidify this personal commitment and planning. We also continued to strengthen the
Patient Safety and Quality performance review meetings with each Business individually and in the
aggregate. We set Patient Safety and Quality key performance indicators for the company in 2024,
and Quality performance metrics are part of the remuneration of all Philips executives. Additionally,
every Philips employee has a Patient Safety and Quality goal as part of annual people performance
management.
Quality
We strive to continuously raise our performance to deliver safe and high-quality products, services,
and solutions, which are compliant with quality and safety standards and all applicable laws. In
2024, we continued to simplify how we work and improve accountability and ownership, and
further strengthened our engineering capabilities for product development in areas such as quality
systems engineering, reliability and software design.
We further reduced the number of Quality Management Systems (QMS) in which we operate and
continued our investment in systems, capabilities and training to reduce complexity and improve
execution effectiveness.
Regulatory Affairs
Regulatory Affairs, with representation on the leadership team of each Business and Region, further
strengthened internal governance and requirements for engagements with national government
regulatory authorities, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines
Agency (EMA), China's National Medical Products Administration, notified bodies, and national
competent authorities in the European Union (EU).
As a global business in a dynamic regulatory environment, Regulatory Affairs bolsters Philips’
compliance with evolving regulations related to innovations in areas such as artificial intelligence,
healthcare informatics, and software design. Sought as strategic partners, the Regulatory Affairs
team participated in international consensus standards groups alongside regulators and engaged
with international regulators as invited experts and speakers at the International Medical Device
Regulators Forum, Global Harmonization Working Party, and other meetings. Regulatory Affairs is
working with the National Institutes of Health in the US to establish ethical applications of artificial
intelligence in medical devices.
Medical Office
The Medical Office is a global team of medical and scientific experts working within and across
Philips Businesses and is led by the Chief Medical Officer, who reports directly to the Chief
Executive Officer. The role of the Medical Office is to help drive meaningful innovation through
excellence in medical safety, medical affairs, health economics, and clinical research.

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

The Medical Office focuses on supporting our Businesses, navigating the intricacies of addressing
patients’ and customers’ unmet needs across a variety of ecosystems, and looking across the entire
product life cycle to help teams develop solutions that are safe, effective, and relevant for patients
and healthcare providers.
The team is responsible for the design, generation, and sharing of clinical and economic evidence
to show the value of our innovations in terms of enhancing the patient and care provider
experience, improving patient outcomes, and increasing healthcare system productivity. The team
collaborates with healthcare providers, and medical and scientific communities, as well as with
private healthcare payers, governments and policy makers, to expand access to, and ensure
widespread use of, our innovations.
In 2024, we expanded the Philips Medical Office, further enhancing our expertise in medical affairs,
clinical research, medical safety and health economics and strengthening the voice of the patient
and healthcare providers in the company. We implemented the Philips Safety Board as an
independent cross-functional forum chaired by the Philips Chief Medical Officer to guide and
support the Businesses on pre- and post-market product safety and risk evaluations.
The team continued our advocacy and investment combating non-communicable diseases,
including cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as radiation safety, medical device testing, and
improved access to physician and staff training, among others. Our health economics team
continued to contribute economic evidence to support innovation and expand access to high-
quality care.
4.3.4 General Business Principles (GBP)
While pursuing our business objectives, we aim to be a responsible partner in society, acting with
integrity towards our employees, customers, patients, business partners and shareholders, as well
as the wider community in which we operate. To that end, our GBP – part of the Philips operating
model – and their underlying policies incorporate and represent the fundamental principles by
which all Philips Businesses and employees around the globe must abide. They set the minimum
standard for our business conduct as a health technology company, for our individual employees
and for our subsidiaries, and Philips rigorously enforces compliance. Our GBP also serve as a
reference for the business conduct we expect from all our business partners. The GBP and
underlying policies, including the Financial Code of Ethics and Procurement Code of Ethics, are
published on the company website at www.philips.com/gbp.
The GBP were updated in 2024 to include legal developments and input from stakeholders,
including internal Functions (e.g., Group Sustainability, People, Legal). The Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, the UN Convention against Corruption and other standards served as a reference.
The GBP include principles of doing business with integrity at work, integrity in the market, and
professional integrity outside work. They set our integrity standard on inside information, aiming to
prevent trading on or disclosure of non-public information, the publication of which would likely
have a significant influence on the trading price of Philips securities or securities of companies that
Philips is seeking to acquire. More specifically, Philips has adopted rules of conduct, governing the
purchase, sale and other dispositions of Philips securities, that we believe are reasonably designed
to promote compliance with applicable insider trading and other market abuse laws, rules and
regulations (in particular the EU Market Abuse Regulation) and applicable listing standards. The
rules of conduct apply to all employees, the members of the Board of Management and the
Supervisory Board of Royal Philips. The GBP also include principles on conducting business with
honesty and integrity, and they explicitly prohibit corrupt practices, acts of bribery and facilitation
payments. More detailed guidance is included in the policy on Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption,
which is explicitly referenced and forms an integral part of the GBP.
The GBP form an integral part of labor contracts and business partner agreements. Translations of
the GBP 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. Each year, employees reconfirm their commitment to the code of conduct after
completing their GBP e-learning, and there is an additional annual signed commitment for
executives. A similar signed commitment is in place for finance and procurement staff for their
respective codes of conduct. The Philips Supervisory Board is trained annually on Philips GBP
through a dedicated online course.
The Executive Committee is responsible for the effective deployment of the GBP and for promoting
a culture of compliance and ethics within the company. At least twice a year, the Executive
Committee and Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board are informed on relevant GBP metrics,
cases, trends and learnings. Furthermore, each quarter, all of our key Regions convene market
compliance committees dealing with GBP-related matters in the local context. They are also
responsible for the design and execution of localized compliance plans that are tailored to their
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 GBP
program office, together with a worldwide network of GBP compliance officers, supports 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
structured dialogues led by managers where quality, integrity and speaking up are discussed. This is
part of a company-wide initiative aimed at reinforcing a culture of dialogue using ethical dilemma
case studies that are relevant to our workforce. Almost 54,200 (97%) of our assigned employees
completed their yearly GBP e-learning. All Functions at risk (including those with customer-facing
roles, such as sales and marketing, clinical and technical consultants and employees that provide
customer-facing training) also receive, via tailored case studies, annual training. The training
includes content on anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices and healthcare compliance.

| 52 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

The GBP monitoring and reporting program, part of our internal control framework, measures
implementation of our GBP. In addition, we continue to expand the capabilities of our legal
compliance monitoring team, serving our business customers as well as our compliance networks
with actionable data, thus further improving our internal control framework. The results of the
monitoring measures in place are given in Philips SpeakUp (Ethics Line).
The GBP are supported by Philips SpeakUp program. Philips SpeakUp program, and its underlying
policies and procedures, aligns with relevant legislation on whistleblowing (including but not
limited to Directive (EU) 2019/1937) to ensure reporters are protected from (attempted) retaliation.
SpeakUp ensures standardized reporting and enables employees and third parties to escalate
concerns 24/7. Concerns raised through this SpeakUp program are registered consistently in a
single database hosted outside of Philips servers to ensure confidentiality and security of identity
and information. Further details on how Philips ensures the protection of reporters of potential GBP
violations, and ensures an independent and impartial review of concerns, can be found in the
Philips SpeakUp Policy. Encouraging people to speak up through the available channels if they have
a concern will continue to be a cornerstone of our GBP training, communications and awareness
campaigns.
GBP compliance officers and SpeakUp investigators receive training on following up on SpeakUp
concerns in line with Philips SpeakUp Policy and investigation guidelines. Specifically in 2024, we
again focused on increasing awareness about integrity and on emphasizing the importance of
speaking up. This built on the deployment in 2023 of our biennial Business Integrity Survey, in
which more than 22,500 employees trusted us with their views and opinions on integrity within
Philips. The results showed 79% of the respondents feel comfortable addressing concerns related
to the GBP. The next Business Integrity Survey will be deployed in 2025, along with an updated
GBP e-learning.
In 2024, a total of 805 concerns were reported via Philips SpeakUp (Ethics Line) and through our
network of GBP compliance officers. This represents an increase of 5% f rom the total of 764
concerns in the previous reporting period (2023). This is a continuation of a year-on-year upward
trend. See Philips SpeakUp (Ethics Line) for further details.
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, enabling the confidential, anonymous submission of
complaints.
4.3.5 Cybersecurity
Failure to meet cybersecurity standards may cause patient harm, negatively impact customer
operations and their ability to provide healthcare, or provide unauthorized access to patient records
and medical devices. Philips relies on information technology to operate and manage its Businesses,
as well as store and process confidential data (relating to patients, employees, customers,
intellectual property, suppliers and other partners). For a discussion of cybersecurity risks facing our
business, see “Products and services may fail quality or security standards, which could adversely
affect patient safety or customer operations" and “Philips could be exposed to a significant
enterprise cybersecurity breach” in section Operational risks . As of the date of this Annual Report,
we have not identified any breaches of cybersecurity or other related risk threats that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business .
The aim of our security risk management is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of Philips products and services, and it is part of our broader risk management and internal control
framework described in Risk management and internal control . The Board of Management is
responsible for the design and management of Philips’ cybersecurity, which is ultimately overseen
by the Supervisory Board (and specifically its Audit Committee). Quarterly reports on cybersecurity
risks and incidents are prepared by the IT Audit & Risk Committee (consisting of representatives
from the Group Security and Group IT Functions, Philips Internal Audit and the external auditor)
and submitted to the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board. This reporting includes the
overall risk level, relevant changes in the risk environment, challenges in reaching and/or
maintaining current risk levels, and actual risk responses in the form of actions and owners.
The Group Security Function maintains a security management framework, which includes
processes, requirements and controls for the assessment, identification and management of
material risks from, among others, cybersecurity threats. The framework, including cybersecurity
policies and procedures, is designed to promote implementation of security requirements in all
applicable processes, information processing systems and infrastructure pertaining to our products
and services and our supporting and enabling Functions. The framework includes risk, vulnerability
and penetration assessments; mandatory yearly security training for all employees (including
phishing simulations for all employees multiple times a year); and monitoring and response
activities for vulnerabilities identified in products, services and infrastructure.
Our Head of Group Security, reporting to our Chief Financial Officer, leads the Group Security
Function in supporting the Board of Management in evaluating and setting the security strategy,
issuing security policies, and evaluating the progress and effectiveness of the deployment of the
company’s security management framework. Our Chief Information Security Officer, reporting to
our Head of Group Security, has nearly 27 years of technology and information security
management experience in the industry, including prior roles with the Dutch Government and
multinationals in the consumer goods, manufacturing, chemical and food processing industries, in
various roles ranging from chief information security officer to IT security officer and security
architect. Our Chief Information Security Officer is informed of and monitors the prevention,
detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through the Global Security
Operations Center.

| 53 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Group Security is also responsible for addressing security risks, including monitoring cybersecurity
threats and responding to cybersecurity incidents. The Philips Global Security Operations Center,
with the leadership of the Chief Information Security Officer, is the hub for the prevention,
detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents on global enterprise systems,
supported by certain external services and periodic/intermittent assessments. The severity and
materiality of incidents are assessed through a dedicated security incident reporting process and, if
necessary, incidents are escalated to the major event team that may hand off to central crisis
management and (potentially) to the Philips Disclosure Committee, which assesses the need for
public disclosure of (material) incidents. When needed, incidents are further escalated to Global
Crisis Management.
Additionally, in order to address the security risks associated with our suppliers and the services
they provide, security controls are embedded in our procurement and supplier management
processes, covering due diligence when engaging with new suppliers; contracting, monitoring and
managing existing supplier relationships; and terminating supplier relationships. These security
controls include assessing existing security certificates and assurances reports for the services in
scope, validating suppliers’ answers to security questionnaires in due diligence, and ensuring that
security schedules are part of the signed contracts.
4.3.6 Remuneration framework
Aligned with one of our key ESG commitments, the objectives of our remuneration framework are
to focus employees throughout the Philips Group on pursuing our purpose and delivering on our
strategy, and to motivate them to create superior, long-term stakeholder value. Thus, our
remuneration framework is designed to support the company’s overall performance and our
commitment to drive progressive value creation through a strategy of focused organic growth,
scalable patient- and people-centric innovation, and reliable execution.
We aim to attract, retain and motivate world-class talent by offering market-competitive and fair
compensation. We position ourselves competitively against our peers through external
benchmarking, and we offer ranges that enable us to reward exceptional performance. We also set
fair and internally consistent pay levels by taking into account internal relativities, and we are
committed to equal pay and ensuring that all employees receive at least a living wage.
Employee share ownership is stimulated through our employee share purchase plan, to create
alignment with shareholder value and to encourage employees to act as stewards and ambassadors
of the company.
A part of remuneration of Philips executives is variable and linked to achieving our strategic
imperatives through the criteria and targets included in the Annual and Long-Term Incentives. The
achievement/payout of the Annual Incentive is partly based on a financial element (70% weight),
with financial performance metrics that are aligned with the strategic priorities for the year. The
non-financial element of the Annual Incentive (30% weight) reflects the importance of factors
relating to the company’s priorities (patient safety and quality, strengthening supply chain
reliability, and the simplification of our operating model), as well as our Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) performance. The achievement/vesting of LTI is also partly based (20% weight)
on ESG objectives, reflecting the importance of ESG to our company and its increasing relevance to
our stakeholders (as a strategic matter and in the context of our risk management), and to
incentivize management’s focus on our policy objective to deliver superior, long-term value to our
stakeholders, while acting responsibly towards our planet and society.
With respect to variable compensation, our employment contracts include claw back provisions.
These allow us to recoup variable remuneration in case of (among others) violations of the Philips
General Business Principles. This is one of the means to uphold ethical behavior.
The remuneration and benefit arrangements applicable to the broader executive and/or employee
population in the Netherlands largely also apply to the members of the Board of Management. The
remuneration of the individual members of the Board of Management is determined by the
Supervisory Board, taking into account the Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management
adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024. A description of the composition of the
remuneration paid and owed to the individual members of the Board of Management (and the
Supervisory Board) is included in the Remuneration Report 2024 .
4.3.7 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, and 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, human rights advocacy, international tax laws and
regulations, relevant codes of conduct, and global initiatives of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development and the United Nations.
The Chief Financial Officer annually reviews, evaluates, approves and, where necessary, adjusts
Philips’ approach to tax. Part of our approach is to acknowledge the importance of transparency in
respect of our tax contributions. Philips supports and participates in transparency initiatives such as
the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the Tax Transparency Benchmark of the Dutch Association
of Investors for Sustainable Development (VBDO). For the second year in a row, Philips scored full
marks and has been awarded the winner of the Tax Transparency Benchmark by VBDO. The team
had assessed the tax transparency practices of 51 Dutch companies and 65 EU listed companies
from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. The expert jury appointed by
VBDO especially complimented us for publishing a full Country Activity and Tax Report, including a
narrative linking Philips’ business and activities to taxation. For example, Philips is one of the only
companies in this year’s benchmark that explicitly mentioned the governance aspect of ESG in
relation to tax. The jury also noted that in this report we have explicitly linked to the GRI 207 Tax
Standard and went beyond to include information on environmental and social factors.
Furthermore, the jury commended Philips for the clear description of the role taxes play within its

| 54 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

value creation model. In addition, Philips scored a top score (100 out of 100) in the Tax Strategy
section of the 2024 Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
The 2024 Country Activity and Tax Report is published on our website in addition to, and
simultaneously with, the disclosures on tax included in this Annual Report.
Philips has a tax control framework that forms part of its standard set of Internal Controls over
Financial Reporting (ICFR). Philips' tax position is therefore reflected in its financial statements and
covered by the Board of Management's report on ICFR. For more on the board's conclusion
regarding the effectiveness of ICFR refer to Risk management and internal control .
Philips also endorses the ambitions expressed in the Tax Governance Code published by the Dutch
employers organization VNO-NCW. We comply with the principles prescribed in the code, available
at VNO-NCW, and we have touched upon the elements of this code in our Country Activity and
Tax Report.
In 2024, Philips contributed to the communities where we operate through taxes paid (e.g.,
corporate income tax) and taxes collected (e.g., VAT). Philips' total tax contribution in 2024,
amounting to EUR 3,263 million, is presented by tax type in the accompanying table. Please refer to
our 2024 Country Activity and Tax Report for more details.

4.3.8 Working with stakeholders and advocacy
Our stakeholder engagement helps us deliver on one of our key ESG commitments: to be
transparent about our plans, activities, targets, results and contributions to society, and to engage
with shareholders, customers, business partners, employees, academics, governments and
regulators through a variety of platforms. Through our engagement efforts we pursue and foster
an open, meaningful, effective, and informed dialogue regarding our activities and our internal and
external stakeholders’ needs, concerns and expectations. We derive significant value from our
stakeholders across all our activities and engage with, listen to and learn from them. We
incorporate feedback on specific areas of our business into our planning, actions, targets, policies
and disclosures. Please also refer to the Philips Stakeholder Engagement Policy available at our
website.
The purpose of our advocacy efforts is to contribute to policy development and legislative processes
and to support business opportunities in the areas relevant to Philips and its Businesses, for
example: health system resilience policies and investment plans; ESG, particularly climate, circularity
and green procurement; and digital health, such as AI, data protection, interoperability,
cybersecurity, and technological sovereignty.
We participate in meetings and task forces as a member of organizations including the World
Economic Forum, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Responsible
Business Alliance (RBA), European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), Dutch Sustainable
Growth Coalition, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, European Round Table for Industry, and the
European Partnership for Responsible Minerals.
In organizing ourselves around customers and markets, we conduct dialogues to explore common
ground for addressing societal challenges, building partnerships and jointly developing supporting
ecosystems for our innovations around the world. We engage with the leading Dutch labor union
(FNV) and a number of NGOs, including Enough, GoodElectronics, the Chinese Institute of Public
and Environmental Affairs, UNICEF, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and
WageIndicator. We also engage with a variety of investors, analysts, rating agencies, institutional
advisory and other organizations, such as Eumedion, ISS, Glass Lewis, VEB and VBDO. Please also
refer to Investor information . Customers (including consumers and end-users) are able to voice their
concerns and indicate their trust during engagement processes.
We invite our stakeholders to engage with us through our website, and we offer dedicated support
for consumers and for healthcare professionals. On sustainability matters, including our
sustainability reporting in this Annual Report, stakeholders may share their comments and
questions via email ( philips.sustainability@philips.com). Finally, Philips SpeakUp is available to all
stakeholders when they believe their concern relates to a violation of the Philips General Business
Principles and underlying policies. More information about Philips SpeakUp, including how Philips
protects reporters from retaliation, can be found in General Business Principles (GBP) and Philips
SpeakUp (Ethics Line).
For more information on our stakeholder engagement please refer to the Stakeholder engagement
overview.

4.3.9 Risk management and internal control
Risks related to our strategy
Philips’ exposure to risks is directly impacted by our strategy, as shown in the accompanying table.
A more detailed description can be found in Risk factors and responses . We do not classify these
risk categories in order of importance. It should be noted that although our risk management and
internal control systems are designed with the intent to manage risks within our appetite, they
cannot provide certainty that this is being achieved.

| 56 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Risk appetite
We have set different levels of risk appetite, ranging from an averse to a seeking approach.
For more information on our risk appetite, refer to Risk factors and responses .
Key elements of our framework
The purpose of our risk management is to identify and analyze the risks Philips faces in executing its
strategy and activities, to set the risk appetite of the company, to take appropriate risk responses,
and to monitor the effectiveness of responses. Please refer to Risk factors and responses , for a
description of each material risk factor that we have identified in four main categories: strategic,
operational, compliance and financial and reporting. The objective of our internal control
framework is to maintain integrated management control of the company’s operations and
reporting, and to safeguard compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As such, risk
management and internal control form an integral part of our strategy-setting, business planning
and performance review cycles.
The governance and process that lie at the core of our enterprise risk management are described in
more detail in the following sections. Complementary to our enterprise risk management process,
Functions and departments (such as Accounting Reporting and Internal Controls, Legal,
Sustainability, Patient Safety and Quality, Operations and Integrated Supply Chain, Finance, Tax,
and Group Security) support the Executive Committee and management in specific risk areas.
These Functions maintain and deploy designated frameworks, to manage, for example, risks related
to business continuity, privacy compliance, environmental matters, insurance and tax.
It is important to note that our risk management and internal control framework cannot provide
certainty as to the realization of our objectives, nor can they prevent all misstatements,
inaccuracies, errors, fraud or non-compliance with rules and regulations. Also, we note that we
may not be successful in deploying some or all of our mitigating actions effectively, or these actions
may not achieve the anticipated effect.
Risk management governance
The Board of Management is ultimately responsible for identifying, analyzing and managing the
risks Philips faces in executing its strategy and activities, for setting the risk appetite of the
company, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of a fit-for-purpose risk
management and control system. The system balances risk and opportunity in line with risk
appetite, including the monitoring of its effectiveness. The Executive Committee, several experts,
enterprise Functions and committees support the Board of Management in the discharge of its
responsibilities.
The risk appetite is set by the Board of Management, reviewed at least annually and included in the
Philips risk management policy. Risk-taking guidance is operationalized through tone from the top,
our culture frame, our General Business Principles and our operating model – such as our strategic
plans, performance targets, budgets, accountabilities and authority schedules, policies,
management systems, process standards, control standards and our performance review cadence.
Furthermore, risk appetite is effected through the risk management process described in this
chapter.
The Executive Committee is primarily responsible for identifying and mitigating material risks to
Philips. The Executive Committee is supported by the Enterprise Risk Management Support Team,
consisting of experts on various categories of risk, through regular analysis of the enterprise risk
profile and enhancement of the risk management framework. In addition, management across the
company is responsible for identifying critical risks and implementing appropriate risk responses
within their areas of responsibility.
Functions maintain and deploy frameworks and activities to structurally manage specific risk areas.
To ensure clarity and alignment on the status of, and to make recommendations on, key risk areas
these Functions have recurring items on the meeting agenda of the Board of Management. The
Board of Management discusses the relevant topics with participation from relevant members of
the Executive Committee and other senior executives and subject matter experts. Furthermore,
dedicated reports on our key risk areas are shared and discussed with the Supervisory Board and
external auditors in the relevant Audit & Risk Committees facilitated by Internal Audit.
The Internal Audit Function has an independent role to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of
the organization's governance, risk management and internal controls. The Function assesses the
quality of risk management and controls through the execution of a risk-based audit plan, as
approved by the Board of Management and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. The
Board of Management and leadership from Businesses, Regions/Zones and key Functions meet
quarterly with Internal Audit in Audit and Risk Committees to discuss strengths and weaknesses of

| 57 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 seeks to ensure that the company implements and maintains internal
procedures for the timely collection, evaluation, and disclosure of information potentially subject to
public disclosure under legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements.
The Supervisory Board oversees and advises the Board of Management and the Executive
Committee with respect to Philips’ risk management, including the identification of material risks in
relation to the risk appetite of the company, the maintenance of internal business controls and risk
management, and the compliance with applicable laws and regulations. At least once a year, the
Supervisory Board discusses the general strategy of the company and the Philips Group, as well as
the main risks associated with their business activities, and the results of the assessment by the
Board of Management and the Executive Committee of the structure and operation of the systems
of internal business controls and any significant changes therein. The Audit Committee and the
Quality & Regulatory Committee of the Supervisory Board assist the full Supervisory Board in
fulfilling its risk management oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee reviews the quality of
risk management and controls, and the reported findings of internal and external audits. The
Quality & Regulatory Committee’s role particularly relates to the compliance of the company’s
products (including software), services, and systems throughout their life cycle.
Enterprise risk management process
To develop a comprehensive overview 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 Enterprise Risk Management: Integrating
with Strategy and Performance (2017) from the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) and on ISO 31000 - Risk Management.
Philips enterprise risk management process
• At least once a year, senior management from Businesses, Zones/Regions and key Functions
perform a risk assessment as part of their strategic plan update. Risk workshops are facilitated
by Internal Audit with senior management across the company to further support these risk
assessments. Twelve such risk workshops were held in 2024.
• At least quarterly, senior management discusses and monitors the risk profile and risk response
effectiveness in its performance reviews and during Audit and Risk Committees, which cover all
Businesses, Zones/Regions and selected Functions.
• During the quarterly Audit and Risk update session, the Board of Management discusses
developments in the enterprise risk profile and management’s initiatives to improve risk
responses.
• Each year the Executive Committee assesses the enterprise risk profile as an integral part of its
strategy review and the potential risk impact versus risk appetite. The assessment also covers the
effectiveness of the risk management framework and potential improvements ther eto.
• Once a year, the updated risk profile and the risk management framework, including the
outcomes of the annual Executive Committee risk workshop, are presented to the full
Supervisory Board. The underlying risks and response plans are discussed at the end of the year
with the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

Next to our enterprise risk management, various Functions as referred to earlier in this section
support the management of specific risk areas. In alignment with the Philips risk management
process standard, these Functions maintain and deploy designated frameworks. Examples include
but are not limited to security, privacy compliance, trade compliance, business continuity,
occupational health, and safety and quality. Through specialist teams at the global, regional or local
level, standards and requirements are defined and continuously improved, deployed, and
monitored to ensure our employees are aware of and comply with these requirements.
We continuously seek to improve our risk management. The measures taken during 2024 to
further strengthen risk management include:
• improved alignment or our risk dialogues with strategy execution and performance review
dialogues
• further embedding of our governance and process, system and data requirements in the Philips
operating model
• review of our enterprise policy framework
• strengthened our risk management capabilities via upgrades to our risk management tooling
and use of data analytics
• created additional insights in risk dynamics, e.g., through risk interdependency analysis and risk
velocity analysis using statistical scenario modelling
• continued efforts to standardize and simplify Philips' process standards, including controls.
Additionally, further development of our regulatory landscape intelligence to enhance foresight
in, and internal communication on, upcoming regulatory change.

Financial reporting and sustainability reporting
As part of its internal control framework, Philips has implemented a standard set of Internal
Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR). Philips has designed its ICFR framework based on the
COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Together with Philips' established accounting
procedures, this standard control framework 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.
A structured monitoring process is deployed company-wide to assess, document, review and
monitor compliance within ICFR. In each reporting unit, management is responsible for assessing
the controls set for their business, risk profile and operations, and for completing the internal
control statement certification statement. Deficiencies noted in the design and/or operating
effectiveness of ICFR that were not remediated at year-end are reviewed by the Board of
Management and the outcome is reported to the Supervisory Board. The Board of Management’s
report on ICFR, including its conclusions regarding the effectiveness thereof, can be found in this
report in Management’s statements and report.
Since 2012, Royal Philips engaged an external provider of assurance, currently EY Accountants B.V.,
with respect to its sustainability reporting. Originally, our sustainability reporting and the audit
thereof was referencing GRI Universal Standards and Philips-specific criteria. Over the years, Philips
continued to develop its internal framework and included sustainability-related risks in its risk
management processes. While preparing for the publication of a sustainability statement complying
with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ((EU) 2022/2464) and related European
Sustainability Reporting Standards, we leveraged the established ICFR framework and processes,
and new sustainability related controls are being designed for internal and external sustainability
reporting. We expect to fully implement such new controls in 2025.

5.1 Letter from the Chairman of the Supervisory Board
Dear Stakeholder,
Nearing the end of the second year of the three-year plan to create value with sustainable impact,
Philips has made solid progress on its execution priorities, returned to order intake growth, and
delivered strong margin and good cash performance, although sales growth was slower than
initially expected. We remain confident in the company’s strategy and dedicated to ensuring Philips
delivers patient safety and quality.
Within a challenging macro environment, Philips is focused on creating value out of its portfolio of
leadership positions by driving operational improvements and scaling innovation leadership. Philips
remains a preferred strategic and innovation partner for its customers, and as a result, has closed a
number of sizeable innovation and technology partnerships across the world. Significant progress
was made in resolving litigation, and Philips continues to be recognized for its ESG leadership.
Strengthening growth remains at the forefront of the agenda, but even as we see positive
developments, we are mindful of the geopolitical landscape, and the impact the external
environment has on the company’s performance. For this reason, it’s critical that Philips is
sufficiently prepared to weather volatile conditions. Simplification efforts to strengthen agility and
competitiveness are essential to achieving this.
The Supervisory Board remains fully committed to its responsibilities to supervise and advise
management in leading the company toward a future of progressive value creation with
sustainable impact. As explained in our Report, in 2024 we focused on patient safety and quality,
the company’s performance and outlook, the long-term value acceleration strategy, and succession
planning. We spent significant time on the company’s strategic focus on growth out of its
portfolio, with leadership positions and scalable innovation, and improved execution as key value
driver. China and North America markets received specific attention – China, given the
uncertainties there that are expected to continue, and North America, given its size and strategic
nature.
We see that Philips has a clear path forward for sustainable value creation, after reaching an
important milestone with the agreement in the Respironics litigation. Under the settlement, Philips
Respironics has agreed to pay a total of USD 1.1 billion. Philips Respironics also signed a consent
decree, which was court-approved, and Philips concluded an agreement with insurers to cover
Respironics recall-related product liability claims. This resolves the personal injury litigation and the
medical monitoring class action to end the uncertainty associated with litigation in the US.
After welcoming Exor N.V. as a long-term minority investor in 2023, we were pleased to see Exor
increase its stake in Philips in 2024, along with some other significant shareholders. As part of the
relationship agreement formed in 2023, Philips also welcomed Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas as a new
member of the Supervisory Board, with a four-year term beginning at the 2024 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders.
Looking to the future, we believe Philips is well-positioned to capture growth in attractive markets,
enabling better care for more people through sustainable innovation. We remain committed to the
plan to create value with sustainable impact and have confidence in the abilities of CEO Roy Jakobs
and the management team to deliver on the full potential of the Businesses. The new member of
the Board of Management, Chief Financial Officer Charlotte Hanneman, as well as the new
Executive Committee members – Ling Liu, Chief Region Leader, Philips Greater China; Jie Xue,
Chief Business Leader Precision Diagnosis; and Özlem Fidanci, Chief of International Region and
Leader Growth Region – are already generating fresh energy and ideas, helping to build upon
Philips’ strong foundation.
Together with my fellow members of the Supervisory Board, I look forward to providing continued
oversight as Philips delivers on its purpose of improving people’s health and well-being through
meaningful innovation. Thank you to our shareholders and key partners for your support, in 2024
and in the years to come.

5.3 Supervisory Board report
The Supervisory Board supervises, advises and challenges the Board of Management in performing
their management tasks as well as setting and executing the strategy of the Philips Group with a
focus on long-term and sustainable value acceleration and securing its business leadership
positions. The members of the Supervisory Board act in the interests of Philips, its Businesses and all
its stakeholders in accordance with good governance practices. This report includes a description of
the Supervisory Board’s activities during the financial year 2024 and other relevant information on
its composition and its functioning.
2024 focus areas and activities of the Supervisory Board
In 2024, the Supervisory Board’s focus was on patient safety and quality, the company’s
performance and outlook, the long-term value acceleration strategy, and succession planning. The
related near-term and longer-term actions were extensively reviewed and discussed with
management, against the geopolitical background and the external environment in which the
company operates, and the impact that the macro-economic outlook has on the company’s
performance.
Patient safety and quality – Compared to 2023, the Supervisory Board gradually expanded its
focus from the Respironics recall to the risks and challenges related to patient safety and quality
across all Businesses. Patient safety and quality was a recurring agenda item for each of the
(regular) meetings. The Supervisory Board challenged management to remain focused on the safety
of patients as the main priority and driver, despite operational and supply challenges. In that
context, the Supervisory Board reviewed the process framework for product design and production
controls in the company (and other mitigation of quality related risks and challenges) and
monitored progress on resolving product quality issues, site inspections, ongoing engagements
with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and other competent authorities globally, and the
execution of the company-wide program to improve and foster a culture, behaviors and a mindset
that puts patient safety and quality first.
The Supervisory Board was regularly updated on the management of the consequences of the
Respironics recall. This oversight included, among other things, the settlement of personal injury
and medical monitoring claims in the US; the agreement with the US Department of Justice (DOJ)
and FDA on the Respironics consent decree; the continued execution of the economic loss class
action settlement; the ongoing criminal and civil investigation by the DOJ’s Consumer Protection
Branch and Civil Fraud Section; and the investigation by more than 30 US state Attorneys General
into possible violations to state deceptive practices statutes; as well as the securities claims in the
US and the Netherlands, and the SEC investigation.
Performance and outlook – The Supervisory Board reviewed and tracked progress on 2024
performance, including relevant key performance indicators, such as comparable order intake,
comparable sales growth * , Adjusted EBITA * and fre e cash flow * . Despite the challenging
geopolitical and macro-economic environment, the company delivered on its commitments
regarding profitability, free cash flow and ESG, in line with guidance and consensus. The
Supervisory Board engaged with management on the quarterly performance and outlook, in
particularly on phasing and predictability of sales, the quality of earnings and margin improvement .
Value acceleration – In the course of 2024, the focus of the Supervisory Board moved from value
creation to a strategy of value acceleration. The Supervisory Board reviewed and tracked progress
on the execution of this strategy. In parallel, the Supervisory Board and management engaged in
multiple deep-dive sessions on the company’s strategic focus on organic growth and scalable
innovation with improved execution as key value driver, as well as the main priorities for each of
the segments, Regions and Functions. Specific attention was given to the role of North America
and China in the strategy moving forward, given the dynamics of these markets.
Succession planning – The Supervisory Board spent time in 2024 considering its composition, as
well as the composition of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee. Attracting
candidates with expertise in (consumer) health tech and artificial intelligence continues to be part
of the Supervisory Board’s succession planning. Our report includes information on the composition
of the Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board is very pleased with the appointment of Charlotte Hanneman, at the 2024
AGM, as member of the Board of Management, succeeding Abhijit Bhattacharya as Chief Financial
Officer from October 1, 2024, and she has deepened the industry expertise of the Board of
Management. The Supervisory Board is grateful to Mr Bhattacharya for his long-term service and
leadership. Ling Liu (Chief Greater China Region) has been appointed as new member of the
Executive Committee, effective July 1, 2024. Also Özlem Fidanci (Chief of International Region and
Leader Growth Region) and Jie Xue (Chief Business Leader Precision Diagnosis) were appointed as
new members of the Executive Committee, both effective January 1, 2025. Refer to Report of the
Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee for more information.
Other key matters that were reviewed and/or discussed during one or more meetings in the course
of 2024 include
• Capital allocation, including the dividend policy and pay-out and the M&A framework, and
specifically the company’s flexibility under its capital structure and credit ratings to pay dividends
and to fund capital investments, including share repurchases and other corporate finance

light of the financial performance of the company. These measures include the issue of bonds

Supervisory Board meetings and attendance
In 2024, the members of the Supervisory Board convened for seven regular meetings and three
extraordinary meetings. Moreover, the Supervisory Board members collectively and individually
interacted with members of the Board of Management, 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 frequently had bilateral discussions about the company’s progress
on a variety of matters.
The Supervisory Board meetings held in 2024 were generally very well attended. 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, the
Supervisory Board and Committees held private meetings. The members of the Supervisory Board
concluded that they devoted sufficient time to engage (proactively, if the circumstances so
required) in their supervisory responsibilities.
In March 2024, two Supervisory Board members visited the European Congress of Radiology in
Vienna, Austria, and in August 2024, one Supervisory Board member visited the European Society
of Cardiology in London, UK. In June 2024, the Supervisory Board members visited Philips’ Personal
Health site in Stamford, Connecticut, US. In September 2024, some Supervisory Board members
visited Philips’ Diagnosis & Treatment manufacturing site in Best, the Netherlands.
Supervisory Board: composition, diversity and self-evaluation
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, except for one member (i.e., 91%), Benoît
Ribadeau-Dumas, to whom the independence exception of best practice provision 2.1.7(iii) of the

| 65 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Dutch Corporate Governance Code is deemed to apply. Furthermore, the members of its Audit
Committee are independent under the rules of the US Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable to the Audit Committee.
The Supervisory Board currently consists of 11 members and retained critical knowledge and
capabilities with the re-appointments of Feike Sijbesma (Chairman) and Peter Löscher, both for a
term of four years as per the end of the 2024 AGM. Following a proposal from long-term
shareholder Exor N.V., Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas was appointed at the 2024 AGM as a new member
of the Supervisory Board, also for a term of four years as per the end of the 2024 AGM.
Anticipating the expiry of the third term of appointment of David Pyott, and his retirement from
the Supervisory Board at the end of the 2025 AGM, the Supervisory Board was tasked with
identifying a candidate with equivalent medtech and quality and regulatory affairs expertise. As a
result, the agenda of the upcoming 2025 AGM will include a proposal to appoint Bob White as
new member of the Supervisory Board. The first term of both Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong
will expire at the end of the 2025 AGM, and the agenda for that meeting will include proposals to
re-appoint them.
The selection of candidates for appointment is always based on merit. The Supervisory Board also
attaches value to diversity and has adopted a Diversity Policy to promote diversity at board level. For
more information, please refer to Report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection
Committee . The composition of the Supervisory Board furthermore follows its profile as included in
the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board. The profile aims for an appropriate combination of
knowledge and experience among the members of the Supervisory Board, encompassing general
management, international business, ESG and sustainability, (consumer) health and medical
technology, patient safety, quality and regulatory, product development, finance and accounting,
human resources, manufacturing and supply chain, information technology and digital, marketing,
and governmental and public affairs, all in relation to the global character of Philips’ Businesses.
The Supervisory Board also aims for having members with different nationalities and (cultural)
backgrounds, working experiences or otherwise diverse qualities, as well as one or more members
who have held an executive or similar position in business or society no more than five years ago.
The composition of the Supervisory Board shall furthermore be in accordance with the Dutch
Corporate Governance Code best practice provisions on independence, 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.
Any (re-)appointments of members of the Supervisory Board must meet the gender quota, as
required by Dutch law, requiring that of the Supervisory Board members at least one-third are
women and at least one-third are men. (For calculation purposes, a total number of board
members that cannot be divided by three must be rounded up to the next number that can be
divided by three.) Currently, the statutory quota is met, as out of 11 Supervisory Board members,
four members are female and seven members are male. The quota will also be met upon the
proposed re-appointments of Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong, and appointment of Bob White
as members of the Supervisory Board at the 2025 AGM.
In 2024, 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
2024 self-evaluation process for the Supervisory Board and its committees. This included drafting
and submitting relevant questionnaires, interviewing members of the Supervisory Board and
aggregating and reporting on the results. The members of the Board of Management also provided
their input. The questionnaires covered various topics such as composition, size, skills and
experience, geographical coverage and diversity of the Supervisory Board, the effectiveness of the
Supervisory Board’s oversight of various aspects such as strategy, business performance, risk
management, succession planning and people, and engagement with management. In addition,
the questionnaire reflected on the company’s strategy, innovation, digital and AI developments,
understanding of the market and stakeholder landscape, and continuous education. All members
of the Supervisory Board were invited to share recommendations to improve the Supervisory
Board’s functioning and ways of working going forward. Furthermore, the performance of the
Chairman, of the other Supervisory Board members individually, and of the Supervisory Board’s
committees was evaluated separately.
The reports on the evaluation were discussed in a meeting of the Supervisory Board and resulted in
a collection of positive points to maintain as well as priorities for further improvement. The results
of the self-evaluation indicated that the Supervisory Board is a well-functioning team of appropriate
size that benefits from different expertise, background and international geographical
representation. Progress has been made on all domains, in particular in terms of stakeholder
understanding, risk and safety, oversight and the proximity to top talent and succession. The
Supervisory Board has been bolstered by its relationship with long-term investor Exor N.V. as a
strategic investor and the new member of the Supervisory Board that was appointed in 2024
following Exor’s proposal. The Supervisory Board members assessed they have struck the right
balance between supporting and challenging management on the company's focus areas, which
include setting the foundation and aspirations for the future and execution of the value
acceleration strategy, patient safety and quality, culture, and senior executive succession planning.
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board had several meetings with individual members of the
Supervisory Board to discuss ways to further enhance the functioning of the Supervisory Board and
its individual members going forward. The Chairman also discussed the evaluation of his own
functioning with the Vice-Chairman.

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. In 2015, the Supervisory Board also established the Quality & Regulatory
Committee. The separate reports of these committees are part of this Supervisory Board report and

5.3.1 Report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee
The Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee is chaired by Feike Sijbesma. Its
other members are Paul Stoffels, Indra Nooyi and Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas. The Committee is
responsible for the review of the overall corporate governance, and the selection criteria and
appointment procedures for the Supervisory Board, Board of Management, the Executive
Committee, and certain other key management positions. In 2024, the Committee 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, which resulted in the re-appointments of Feike Sijbesma and
Peter Löscher and the appointment (following the proposal from long-term investor Exor N.V.) of
Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas as members of the Supervisory Board at the 2024 Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders (AGM). This also resulted in the proposal to appoint Bob White as new member of
the Supervisory Board, to be included in the agenda for the upcoming 2025 AGM.
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 review and evaluation consist of periodical performance review meetings
with the individual members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee, and
evaluation of the results of these meetings by the Committee. The main findings and conclusions
from these reviews were also shared with the Supervisory Board and the Remuneration Committee
and were taken into account in the performance evaluation of the Board of Management and
Executive Committee members and the selection of succession candidates. Reference is made to
2024 Annual Incentive , setting out the performance review of the Board of Management members
by the Remuneration Committee.
The Committee devoted time in 2024 to the selection and/or appointment of candidates to fill
other current and future vacancies on the Board of Management and the Executive Committee.
This resulted in the appointment of Charlotte Hanneman as incoming Chief Financial Officer and a
member of the Executive Committee as per June 1, 2024, and (at the 2024 AGM) her appointment
as a member of the Board of Management as per October 1, 2024. This also resulted in the
proposal, to be included in the agenda for the upcoming 2025 AGM, to re-appoint Marnix van
Ginneken as a member of the Board of Management.

The Committee’s work furthermore resulted in the appointment of Ling Liu as a member of the
Executive Committee, succeeding Andy Ho, in the role of Chief Region Leader, Philips Greater
China, effective July 1, 2024. And effective January 1, 2025, two other new members of the
Executive Committee were appointed. Özlem Fidanci succeeded Edwin Paalvast as Chief of
International Region and Leader Growth Region. Jie Xue was appointed Chief Business Leader
Precision Diagnosis, which had been under the extended leadership of Bert van Meurs (Chief
Business Leader Image Guided Therapy). Bert and Jie are now jointly responsible for the Diagnosis &
Treatment segment. The Committee also devoted time in 2024 to the selection and appointment
of Filip Koek as the Head of Internal Audit as per September 1, 2024.
With respect to corporate governance matters, the Committee discussed recent developments in
the Netherlands, and ESG reporting and due diligence developments in Europe. Finally, the
Committee reviewed the Charter of the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection
Committee and concluded it remains appropriate.
With respect to the productivity initiatives and other actions to improve the company’s
performance (including the unfortunate but necessary reduction of roles), the Committee was
updated by management on the impact on employees and the phased deployment approach, and
members reviewed the simplification of the organization.
Diversity
The Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee was
adopted in 2017 and revised in February 2023, and it is published on the company website. The
Committee periodically assesses the Diversity Policy and the size and composition of the Supervisory
Board and makes recommendations, if relevant, relating to the profile for the Supervisory Board.
Pursuant to the Diversity Policy, the selection of candidates for appointment is based on merit and
its criteria aim to ensure that the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management and the Executive
Committee have a sufficient diversity of views and the expertise needed for a good understanding
of current affairs and longer-term risks and opportunities related to the company’s business. The
nature and complexity of the company’s business is taken into account when assessing the optimal
mix of perspectives, as well as the social and environmental context in which the company
operates.
Effective 2022, Dutch law requires listed companies to set appropriate and ambitious gender
diversity targets for the Board of Management and for a management level of a seniority to be
determined by the company. To this end, the Diversity Policy includes the Supervisory Board’s aim
that at least one-third of the members of the Board of Management and of the Executive
Committee are women, and at least one-third are men. The composition of the Board of
Management and the Executive Committee, respectively, currently meets this aim.
5.3.2 Report of the Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee is chaired by Paul Stoffels. Its other members are Feike Sijbesma,
Herna Verhagen and Sanjay Poonen, who replaced David Pyott on June 1, 2024. 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. The annual cycle of the Remuneration Committee enables it to have
an effective decision-making process supporting the determination, review and implementation of
the Remuneration Policy. The Committee met three times in 2024. All Committee members were
present during these meetings .
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 set forth in Chapter 3
of the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board (which are published on the company’s
website).
Following preparations that started in May 2023 and stakeholder engagements through a
dedicated remuneration roadshow and other interactions, the Remuneration Committee submitted
proposals at the AGM 2024 to adopt an amended Remuneration Policy for the Board of
Management and an amended Remuneration Policy for the Supervisory Board. The Remuneration
Committee was very thankful for the shareholders’ support, as these proposals were approved by a
96.07% and a 98.94% majority, respectively.
Please refer to the Remuneration report 2024 where the Supervisory Board provides a
comprehensive overview, as prepared by the Remuneration Committee, of the remuneration paid
and owed to the individual members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board in
the year 2024.
5.3.3 Report of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is chaired by Liz Doherty. Its other members are Peter Löscher, Chua Sock
Koong and Herna Verhagen, who replaced Sanjay Poonen on June 1, 2024. The Committee assists
the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its supervisory responsibilities, including ensuring the integrity of
the company’s financial statements, reviewing the company’s internal controls and overseeing the
enterprise risk management process.
In 2024, the Audit Committee held five regular meetings and one extraordinary meeting, which
were attended by all Audit Committee members and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The
CEO, CFO, Chief ESG & Legal Officer, Head of Internal Audit, Chief Accounting Officer and external
auditor (EY Accountants B.V.) were also invited and attended all regular meetings.
The Committee met separately in private sessions with the CEO, CFO, Head of Internal Audit and
external auditor after the regular quarterly meeting of the Committee. Prior to the Committee

each member of the management who regularly attend the Audit Committee meetings and with

5.4 Remuneration report 2024
Letter from the Remuneration Committee Chair
Dear Stakeholder,
On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present the 2024 Remuneration
Report, providing a comprehensive overview of the remuneration paid and owed to the individual
members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board, respectively, in the financial year
2024. Charlotte Hanneman succeeded Abhijit Bhattacharya as CFO as of October 1, 2024, after
having joined Philips on June 1, 2024, as a member of the Executive Committee, to start her
introduction into the role. This Remuneration Report includes their respective remunerations in their
capacity as members of the Board of Management .
Company performance in 2024 and incentive plan realization
Despite declines in demand in both consumer and health systems in China we returned to positive
order growth and continued to drive margin expansion and cash-flow generation. Nearing the end
of the second year of the three-year plan to create value with sustainable impact, Philips has made
solid progress on its execution priorities, returned to order intake growth, and delivered strong
margin and good cash performance, although sales growth was slower. Philips reached important
milestones in the Respironics litigation, resolving the personal injury litigation and the medical
monitoring class action. We believe this progress is being acknowledged, where long-term investor
Exor increased its stake in Philips, along with some other significant investors.
For the awards granted under our Long-Term Incentive Plan in 2022, the company performance
resulted in a realization above target for the sustainability objectives. For the relative Total
Shareholder Return (TSR) and adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) metrics in our Long-Term Incentive
Plan, however, there was a below-threshold performance since the start of the performance period
in 2022. With respect to the financial metrics of the 2024 Annual Incentive, performance was at
target for the Adjusted EBITA metric, below target for the free cash flow * metric, and below
threshold for the comparable sales growth * metric. Please refer to our 2024 Remuneration Report
for more details.
Other remuneration matters prepared by the Remuneration Committee
In 2024, we successfully introduced new remuneration policies for the Board of Management and
the Supervisory Board, respectively. This process commenced in October 2023 with extensive
engagement with stakeholders, including shareholders representing approximately 55% of the
issued share capital, institutional advisory organizations, employees, and employee representative
bodies. Their feedback was carefully incorporated to design policies that are competitive in the
market and aligned with our strategic priorities and societal responsibilities. The 2024
Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management enhances the alignment between performance
and remuneration, emphasizing both financial and non-financial outcomes, with an increased focus
on patient safety and quality.
Looking ahead
The 2024 Remuneration Policy includes a potential increase of the Annual Incentive target to 120%
(from 100%) for the CEO, and to 100% (from 80%) for the CFO and CLO enabling to reward at
market median level for the Annual Incentive. As noted in the 2024 Remuneration Policy for the
Board of Management, the Supervisory Board applied unchanged target levels for 2024, but it
could (gradually) increase the Annual Incentive target levels as of 2025, subject to a performance
trajectory by 2024 that gives the company a clear outlook to deliver on its 2025 targets. The
Supervisory Board notes that in 2024, the company delivered on its commitments regarding
profitability, free cash flow and ESG. Nevertheless, the Supervisory Board decided to maintain the
current target levels for the Annual Incentives 2025 as well. The Supervisory Board notes that it
intends to increase the Annual Incentive target levels towards the policy target maximum as of
2026.
I look forward to presenting our Remuneration report 2024 at our upcoming Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders.
On behalf of the Remuneration Committee,
Paul Stoffels
Chairman of the Remuneration Committee

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 incentive of which achievement is tied to specific financial and non-financial targets derived from the company’s annual strategic plan. | The payout in any year relates to the achievements of the preceding year. Metrics and their weighting 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. | Policy (maximum) level: President & CEO On-target: 120% Maximum: 240% of Annual Base Compensation. Other BoM members On-target: 100% Maximum: 200% of Annual Base Compensation.
Long-Term Incentive | Variable equity incentive of achievement is tied to targets reflecting long-term stakeholder value creation and delivered in the form of performance shares. | 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 closing price of the Royal Philips share measured over the last month of the quarter preceding the actual grant of performance shares (the day of publication of the relevant quarterly results). 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. 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.

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.

In addition, we use a TSR Performance Peer Group to benchmark our relative Total Shareholder
Return performance for LTI 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 LTI Plan allow changes to the peer groups to be made by the
Supervisory Board without further 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 LTI Plan respectively (or, if earlier, until the
adoption or approval of a revised Remuneration Policy or revised LTI Plan).
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 of 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 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) held in the fourth
year after the year of appointment).

Remuneration of the Board of Management in 2024
The Supervisory Board has determined the 2024 pay-outs to the members of the Board of
Management, upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, in accordance with the 2024
Remuneration Policy.
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 2024 Annual Incentive, as well
as for the 2022 LTI grants, were adequate.

Annual Base Compensation
As part of the regular remuneration review, Annual Base Compensation for the members of the
Board of Management is being reviewed every year. No increase was applied in 2023. This year,
however, the Annual Base Compensation has been increased per April 1, 2024: for Roy Jakobs
from EUR 1,200,000 to EUR 1,250,000, for former CFO Abhijit Bhattacharya from EUR 810,000 to
EUR 840,000 and for Marnix van Ginneken from EUR 630,000 to EUR 660,000, respectively. This
increase was made to move the total compensation level closer to the market median level, as well
as to reflect internal relativities. The Annual Base Compensation of Charlotte Hanneman as new
CFO was set at EUR 700,000.
2024 Annual Incentive
The Annual Incentive performance has been assessed based on company financial results as well as
non-financial results. Details are as follows:
Financial element (70% weighting)
In line with the 2024 Remuneration Policy, the company sets financial performance metrics and
targets in advance of the year for all members of the Board of Management. For the year 2024, the
financial targets set at Group level cover Comparable Sales Growth*, Adjusted EBITA* and Free
Cash Flow*. For the Comparable Sales Growth metric, the realized performance was below
threshold performance level, which resulted in a 0% payout for this metric. For the adjusted EBITA
metric, the realized performance was at target performance level, which resulted in a 100% payout
for this metric. For the Free Cash Flow metric, the realized performance of 906 million EUR results
in a 177.0% payout for this metric. The Supervisory Board and Board of Management have jointly
decided to adjust for insurance reimbursements received and to lower the payout from 177.0% to
73.6% of target.

Financial performance metric | 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 | 25% | 2.0% | 4.0% | 6.0% | 1.2% | 0.0% | 0.0%

The non-financial performance categories and objectives were set at the beginning of the year and
disclosed in the 2023 remuneration report. As per remuneration policy, each selected performance
category received an equal weighting. The Supervisory Board has assessed performance and
granted a pay-out between 0% and 200% per selected category.

2022 Long-Term Incentive
The 3-year performance period of the 2022 LTI grant, consisting of performance shares, ended on
December 31, 2024. The realization of this grant is based on TSR achievement, adjusted EPS
growth and sustainability objectives. The following performance achievement and vesting levels
have been determined by the Supervisory Board in respect of the 2022 grant of performance
shares:
Philips Group
Performance achievement and vesting levels

| achievement | weighting | vesting level
TSR | 0% | 50% | 0%
EPS | 0% | 40% | 0%
Sustainability objectives | 150% | 10% | 15%
Total |  |  | 15%

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 in %

Position | 20-14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5-1
Vesting % | 0 | 60 | 80 | 90 | 100 | 120 | 140 | 160 | 180 | 200

The TSR achieved by Philips during the performance period was (18.07%), using a start date of
October 2021 and end date of December 2024. This resulted in Philips being positioned at rank 17
in the TSR performance peer group shown in the following table, resulting in a TSR achievement of
0%.
Following Oracle’s acquisition of Cerner (completed June 2022), the Supervisory Board adopted the
approach of recognizing Cerner’s performance through the delisting date. As a proxy for future
performance, reinvestment in an index of the remaining 19 peer companies was assumed
(effectively retaining a peer group of 20 companies).

In respect of the 2022 LTI grant, the LTI plan EPS is calculated based on a reported net income
attributable to shareholders divided by the number of common shares outstanding (after deduction
of treasury shares) on the day prior to the beginning of the performance period (to eliminate the
impact of any share buyback, stock dividend, etc.), resulting in an EPS of EUR (0.97). Furthermore,
as per the 2020 LTI Plan, the LTI Plan EPS includes adjustments to account for events that were not
planned when targets were set or were outside management’s control such as the profit and loss
impact of acquisitions and divestments (balance is neutral), the profit and loss impact of unhedged
foreign exchange variations versus plan (positive adjustment), the profit and loss impact of legacy
legal proceedings (positive impact) and the profit and loss impact of Respironics related charges
(positive impact). Overall, this resulted in an LTI Plan EPS of EUR (0.26) based on adjusted net
income from continuing operations, leading to a realization of 0% of target.

3 Impact of Respironics litigation provision and Respironics legal insurance proceeds.
4 Impact of Respironics field-action running costs and consent decree charges.
Sustainability objectives (10% weighting)
In order to further align the remuneration package for the Board of Management with our purpose
and our ESG commitment, a sustainability criterion was introduced in the 2020 LTI Plan. Philips
believes that ESG performance will improve the company’s performance as a whole and, therefore,
that it should be explicitly linked to (long-term) remuneration. The criteria are based on three
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations that are included in
Philips’ strategy on sustainability (no. 3, 12 and 13). These three SDGs are translated in five
underlying objectives, which are measured against a specific target range.
At the beginning of the performance period, challenging target ranges are set for each of the five
objectives. Based on a point-to-point method, performance achievement is measured at the end of
the performance period (i.e., 3 years) versus the beginning of the performance period. The vesting
level is determined based on the following scheme:

No. of measures achieved on or above target | Vesting %
1 | 0%
2 | 0%
3 | 50%-100%
4 | 100%-150%
5 | 150%-200%

The realized performance is described in the following table. As four out of five objectives are
achieved within or better than target range, the vesting % lies between 100% and 150% of
target. Based on the outperformance of the four objectives, the Supervisory Board has assessed
that a vesting level of 150% would reflect an appropriate position within the vesting range.
For more information on the realized performance on all five objectives please refer to our
Environmental, Social and Governance.

Sustainability category | Underlying objective | Target range | Realized performance
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages (SDG3) Lives Improved | Targeted # of Lives Improved in year 3 1 | 1.75 – 1.91 million | 1.96 million | Better than target range
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG12) Circularity | Targeted circular revenue in year 3 ² | 16.0% – 21.0% | 24.4% | Better than target range
Targeted waste to landfill in year 3 ³ | 3.5% – 0.1% | <0.01% | Better than target range
Targeted closing the loop in year 3 ⁴ | 28.0% – 36.0% | 19.5% | Below target range
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (SDG13) Carbon footprint | Targeted CO 2 -equivalent (in kilotonnes) in year 3 | 612 – 549 kilotonnes CO 2 | 474 kilotonnes CO 2 | Better than target range

2 Revenue from products, services and solutions contributing to circularity (e.g. optimizing and re-using
materials)
3 Avoiding production of waste materials.
4 Taking back healthcare equipment.
2025 Long-Term Incentive
The 2025 Long-Term Incentive grant consists of 100% performance shares of which vesting is
subject to performance over a period of 3 years, whereby performance is measured based on the
following performance metrics and weighting:
• 40% weighting: Relative Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’)
• 40% weighting: Adjusted Earnings per Share growth* (‘EPS’)
• 20% weighting: ESG performance

ESG Performance (20% weighting)
At the start of each performance year, we select four ESG objectives in line with our long-term
strategic priorities. There is no exhaustive list of objectives that can be selected. To ensure that all
objectives are material, auditable and measurable, we only select objectives which are reported in
our Annual Report (in preparation for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and
therefore are subject to assurance from our external provider of assurance with respect to the
company's sustainability reporting. Furthermore, we make sure that in any measurement year, the
ESG objectives do not overlap with our non-financial performance objectives for the Annual
Incentive.
The objectives selected for the 2025 LTI grant are shown in the following table, including the
rationale for selecting these objectives and more details on the measurement approach.
2025-2027

ESG objective | Rationale | Measurement approach
Targeted # of Lives Improved in year 3 1 | Ensure healthy lives and promote well- being for all at all ages (SDG3) Lives Improved | Please refer to section 4.2.1 Improving people’s lives for more details.
Targeted circular revenue in year 3 2 | Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG12) Circularity | Please refer to section 4.1.3 Resource use and circular economy for more details.
Targeted full value chain CO 2 -equivalent (in kilotonnes) in year 3 | Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts (SDG13) Carbon footprint | Please refer to section 4.1.2 Climate Change for more details.
Targeted People Engagement Score in year 3 | Retain an engaged workforce People Engagement Score | The People Engagement Score is the single measure of the overall level of employee engagement at Philips, measured on a bi-yearly basis.

Total remuneration costs in 2024
The following table gives an overview of the costs incurred by the company in 2024 and 2023 in
relation to the remuneration of the Board of Management. Costs related to performance shares are
based on accounting standards (IFRS), which prescribe that costs for each LTI grant are recognized
over the full (multi-year) vesting period, proportionate to the relevant fiscal year. Therefore, the
costs for any year reflect costs of multiple LTI grants, as opposed to the actual value for the holder
of an LTI grant at the vesting date. Please refer to section 2022 Long-Term Incentive for more
details on the actual vesting of the performance shares.

1 Reference date for board membership is December 31, 2024.
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
performance shares at the vesting/release date.
4 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.
5 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.
6 Accounting costs for 2024 include the additional costs for the accelerated accrual of the 2022 and 2023 LTI
grant.
7 Other compensation costs include the one-time severance payment of €840,000, which Abhijit
Bhattacharya received in accordance with his employment agreement.

5-year development of CEO and Board of Management 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. Following the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), this disclosure enhances
transparency in income distribution and aligns with our commitment to fair remuneration practices.
For the 2024 financial year, the ratio between the annual total compensation for the CEO, which is
the highest paid individual, and the average annual total remuneration for an employee was 43:1.
The ratio decreased from 46:1 in 2023. Furthermore, the ratio between the CEO and median
annual total remuneration for all employees (excluding the highest-paid individual) was 48:1.
Further details on the development of these amounts and ratios over time can be found in the
following table. Please note that the amounts presented in the table reflect total remuneration
costs to the company which differ from the actual payouts to the members of the Board of
Management.

1 For 2022, CEO refers to Frans van Houten for the period up to October 15, 2022, and to Roy Jakobs for the
period from October 15, 2022, onwards. For 2020 and 2021, CEO refers to Frans van Houten.
2 Based on Employee benefit expenses (EUR 6.6 billion) divided by the average number of employees (67,014
FTE) as reported in Income from operations. This results in an average annual total compensation cost of
EUR 99,091 per employee.
3 Median Employee Total Remuneration Costs are based on the full salary & wage expenses to the company,
including base salary, social security, benefits in cash, benefits in kind, Annual Incentive and Long Term
Incentives.
4 A consideration when interpreting the ratios between CEO (i.e., highest paid individual) and average- and
median employee remuneration is that the remuneration of the CEO is more heavily dependent on variable
compensation than the remuneration of the typical 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 typical 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 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.

Share ownership guidelines
To further align the interests to those of stakeholders and to motivate the achievement of sustained
performance, the members of the Board of Management are bound to a minimum shareholding
requirement. The following table shows the minimum shareholding requirement, Annual Base
Compensation, (vested) shares held and share ownership ratio of each Board of Management
member as per December 31, 2024. Until the minimum shareholding requirement is reached, the
members of the Board of Management are required to retain all after-tax performance shares that
have vested, but they are not required to make additional share purchases.

Remuneration of the Supervisory Board in 2024
Summary of the 2024 Remuneration Policy
Also the Remuneration Policy for the Supervisory Board has been adopted at the Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders held on May 7, 2024.
The overarching objective of the 2024 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 mission, vision and strategy, taking into
account the interests of shareholders and all other stakeholders.
As reflected in the profile of the Supervisory Board (as updated early 2024 and included in the
Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board), the selection of candidates for appointment to the
Supervisory Board will be based on merit. The profile aims for an appropriate combination of
knowledge and experience among its members, encompassing a wide range of proficiencies and
capabilities, all in relation to the global character of Philips’ Businesses. The Supervisory Board
furthermore aims to have members with a diverse set of qualities, including different nationalities
and (cultural) backgrounds.
To support the objectives mentioned above, the 2024 Remuneration Policy is aimed at attracting
and retaining Supervisory Board members internationally, of the highest caliber and with
experience and expertise relevant to our health technology Businesses.
To enable more gradual increases in the future, the 2024 Remuneration Policy includes the
Supervisory Board’s intention to review the fee levels in principle every two years to monitor and
take account of market developments and manage expectations from our key stakeholders. In
these reviews we will in principle apply a consistent approach using the same Quantum Peer Group
for our Supervisory Board as is used for the Board of Management.
The following table provides an overview of the current remuneration structure. The fee levels were
set below median market levels (and below the 25th percentile market level for the Chairman) paid
in the Quantum Peer Group used in the 2024 Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management.

In accordance 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). Nevertheless, members of the Supervisory Board are encouraged to
hold shares in the company for the purpose of long-term investment to reflect their confidence in
the future course of the company. The company does not grant personal loans to members of the
Supervisory Board.
Attendance fees, entitlement to Philips product arrangements and fixed net expense allowances are
as follows:

Fee and reimbursement type (amounts in EUR) | Chairman | All members
Attendance fee per inter-European trip | 2,750 | 2,750
Attendance fee per intercontinental trip | 5,500 | 5,500
Entitlement to Philips product arrangement | 2,000 | 2,000
Annual fixed net expense allowance | 11,345 | 2,269

6.6 Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
1 General information to the Consolidated financial statements
Reporting entity and its operations
Koninklijke Philips N.V. (‘Royal Philips’), incorporated and domiciled in the Netherlands , is a public
limited liability company organized under Dutch Law. Philips is headquartered in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands and has its registered address at High Tech Campus 52, 5656 AG Eindhoven, the
Netherlands . The consolidated financial statements of Royal Philips as of December 31, 2024
comprise Royal Philips and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'company’ or ‘Philips’ or the
'Group’). Philips is a leading health technology company primarily involved in diagnostic imaging,
image-guided therapy, patient monitoring and health informatics, as well as in consumer health
and home care.
Basis of preparation
The Consolidated financial statements are:
• prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the
European Union (EU) and comply 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 2024 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
• authorized for issue by the Board of Management of Royal Philips on February 21, 2025
• prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated
• prepared on a going concern basis
• presented in euro, which is the presentation currency
• rounded to the nearest million euro unless stated otherwise
• subject to rounding, whereby amounts may not add up precisely to the totals provided
Accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make a number of
estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. Amounts recognized are based on factors that are by default associated with
uncertainty. Actual results may therefore differ from estimates. Estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to estimates are recognized prospectively.
Where applicable, the estimates and judgments of specific financial statement items are described
in the respective note to the consolidated financial statements.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity in applying accounting principles
and for which changes in the assumptions and estimates could result in significantly different
results than those recorded in the consolidated financial statements are the following:
• judgment applied in determining reportable segments involves evaluating the information
reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision-Maker (the Board of Management) to assess
performance and allocate resources (Information by segment and main country )
• assessment of control (below paragraph Basis of consolidation and Interests in entities )
• revenue recognition (Income from operations )
• for acquisitions, the identification and valuation of acquired assets and liabilities including
contingent considerations provisions (Acquisitions and divestments, Provisions)
• determination of deferred tax assets for losses carried forward and uncertain tax positions
(Income taxes )
• assumptions used for impairment testing (Goodwill , Intangible assets excluding goodwill)
• assessments of exposure to credit risk of financial instruments ( Other financial assets ,
Receivables, Debt, Fair value of financial assets and liabilities, Details of treasury and other
financial risks )
• assumptions used to determine the net realizable value of inventories (Inventories)
• actuarial assumptions of future events that are used in calculating post-employment benefit
expenses and liabilities (Post-employment benefits)
• estimates and assumptions regarding the timing and the amount of outflow of resources, as
well as estimating the likelihood of a potential outflow of resources and the ability to make a
reliable estimate of the obligation relating to provisions and contingent liabilities (Provisions,
Contingencies )
The company regularly updates its significant assumptions and estimates to support the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Climate change
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has considered the impact of
climate change, specifically the financial impact of Philips meeting its internal and external climate-
related aims, the potential impact of climate- related risks, and the costs incurred to pro-actively
manage such risks. These considerations did not have a material impact on the financial reporting
judgments, estimates or assumptions. The financial impacts considered include specific climate
mitigation measures, such as the use of lower-carbon energy sources, the cost of developing more
sustainable product offerings, and expenses incurred to mitigate against the impact of extreme
weather conditions. To meet its long-term Science Based Targets and reduce its full value chain
emissions in line with a 1.5 °C global warming scenario, Philips has entered into a number of Power
Purchase Agreements. Philips uses 100% electricity from renewable sources, mainly through long-
term Power Purchase Agreements, thereby mitigating the impact of carbon taxes. The development
of more sustainable products are covered through our EcoDesign program and already included in
our R&D expenses. The physical risk related to climate change on our sites resulting from our Task
Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures assessment is currently considered limited.

Material accounting policies
The material accounting policies as generally applied throughout the financial statements are
described below. Material accounting policies relating to specific financial statement items are
described in the respective notes to the financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V.
and all subsidiaries that the company controls on a consolidated basis. Control exists when the
company is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the
company 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.
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 consolidated financial
statements. Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at transaction date or the valuation date in cases where items are
remeasured. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and
those resulting from the conversion of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities
at period-end exchange rates are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income, except for
qualifying cash flow hedges, qualifying net investment hedges and equity investments measured at
fair value through OCI which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
All foreign exchange differences are presented as part of Cost of sales, apart from 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 not a wholly-owned subsidiary, the 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.
New accounting policies effective in 2024
No new IFRS accounting standards or amendments to existing standards, effective in 2024, had a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
New accounting policies effective after 2024
The IASB has issued several IFRS accounting standards, or amendments to standards, with an
effective date after 2024. Considerations relating to IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements are set out below. The company has not early adopted any standards or amendments
to existing standards. The company does not anticipate that the application of any other standards,
or amendments to standards, will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements upon adoption.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024 and is endorsed by the EU. It will supersede IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the
Consolidated statement of income, including specified totals and subtotals. Even though the new
standard will not impact the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, the
new standard requires entities to include additional defined subtotals to the Consolidated
statement of income, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and is adding
new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information.

| 95 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Retrospective
application is required; therefore, comparative information will be restated in accordance with IFRS
18. Philips is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard on the
group’s Consolidated financial statements.
Changes in presentation from the prior year
Accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated
financial statements. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation due to immaterial organizational changes.
Per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented to reflect the
issuance of shares for the share dividend in respect of 2023.
2 Information by segment and main country

Accounting policies
Segment accounting policies are the same as the accounting policies applied by the company.
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 Board of Management of the company). The Board of Management decides how to allocate
resources and assesses performance. Reportable segments comprise the operating segments
Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care and Personal Health. Besides these reportable segments,
segment Other contains Innovation & Strategy, IP Royalties, Central costs, and other small items.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Determining reportable segments requires significant judgment and involves evaluating the
information which is reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision-Maker (the Board of Management)
to assess performance and allocate resources, in accordance with IFRS 8 'Operating Segments'.

The Philips reportable segments are Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care and Personal Health,
each being responsible for the management of its Businesses worldwide.
Philips focuses on improving people’s lives through meaningful innovation. The Diagnosis &
Treatment segment unites the Businesses related to the goal of precision diagnosis and disease
pathway selection, and the Businesses related to image-guided, minimally invasive treatment. The
Connected Care segment focuses on patient care solutions, advanced informatics and 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 segment focuses on healthy living and preventative
care.
Philips has realigned the composition of its reportable segments effective from April 1, 2023. The
most notable change is the shift of the previous Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics Business from the
Diagnosis & Treatment segment to the Connected Care segment. This Business, together with
other informatics solutions in the Connected Care segment, now forms the Enterprise Informatics
Business. Accordingly, the 2022 comparative figures for the affected segments were previously
restated. The realignment did not impact the presentation of the reportable segments or the key
segmental performance measure, which continues to be Adjusted EBITA*.
Transactions between the segments are mainly related to components and parts included in the
product portfolio of the other segments. The pricing of such transactions was at cost or determined
on an arm’s length basis. Philips has no single external customer that represents 10% or more of
sales. Sales by country is presented based on the country of seller.

The term Adjusted EBITA* is used to evaluate the performance of Philips and its segments.
Adjusted EBITA* represents income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of
acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill (EBITA) and 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. Presented in the
following tables are the reconciliations 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.

3 Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale

Accounting policies
Assets classified as held-for-sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amounts are
expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-
current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of their
carrying amount or the fair value less costs of disposal. Depreciation or amortization of an asset
ceases when it is classified as held-for-sale. When non-current assets (or disposal groups) are
classified as held-for-sale, comparative balances prior to such date are not represented in the
Consolidated balance sheets.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the company 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. Any gain or loss from disposal, together with the results of
these operations until the date of disposal, are reported separately as discontinued operations in
the Consolidated statements of income.
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 are re-
presented for presentation of discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of income
and Consolidated statements of cash flows.
Accounting estimates and judgments
The determination of the fair value less costs of disposal involves the use of estimates and
assumptions that tend to be uncertain. 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.

In 2024 discontinued operations consist primarily of the Domestic Appliances business. In 2023 and
2022 discontinued operations consist of certain costs related to other divestments, which were
previously reported as discontinued operations.

Discontinued operations: Domestic Appliances
In 2024, Discontinued operations related to the Domestic Appliances business included a tax
benefit of EUR 140 million relating to tax audit settlements of prior years. Discontinued operations
related to the Domestic Appliances business resulted in a net loss of EUR 2 million in 2023 and net
gain of EUR 3 million in 2022.
Discontinued operations: Other
Certain costs related to other divestments, which were previously reported as discontinued
operations, resulted in a net gain of EUR 2 million in 2024, a net loss of EUR 7 million in 2023 and
a net gain of EUR 10 million in 2022 .
Discontinued operations cash flows
The following table presents the net cash provided by (used for) discontinued operations reported

4 Acquisitions and divestments

Accounting policies
Acquisitions
The company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is
transferred to the group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at
fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Transaction costs
are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition
date and is initially 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 in the
fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Consolidated statements of
income.
Changes to the initial fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, based on new information
about the circumstances at the acquisition date, can be made up to 12 months after the acquisition
date.
Divestments
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 .
Accounting estimates and judgments
Intangible assets acquired in a business acquisition and the financial liability related to non-
controlling interest are measured at fair value at the date of the acquisition.
To determine the fair value of intangible assets at the acquisition date, estimates and assumptions
are required. The valuation of the identifiable intangible assets involves estimates of expected sales,
earnings and/or future cash flows and require use of key assumptions such as discount rate, royalty
rate and growth rates.
Estimates are also applied when determining the fair value of legal cases and tax positions in the
acquired entity. The fair value is based on estimates of the likelihood, the expected timing and the
amount of the potential cash outflow. Provisions for legal cases and non-income tax positions are
recognized at fair value even if it is not probable that an outflow will be required to settle the
obligation. After initial recognition and until the liability is settled, cancelled or expired, the liability
is measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognized in accordance with IAS 37
'Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets' and the initial liability amount. For income
tax positions, the company applies IAS 12 'Income Taxes', which requires recognition of provisions
only when the likelihood of cash outflow is considered probable.

2024
Acquisitions
Philips did not make any acquisitions in 2024.
Divestments
During 2024 Philips completed four divestments for net cash consideration of EUR 118 million , of
which EUR 2 million is to be received in 2025. The result of these divestments amounted to a EUR 8
million gain, which is included in Other business income in the Consolidated statements of income.
The divestments were not material.
2023
Acquisitions
On May 5, 2023, Philips completed one acquisition within the Ultrasound Business Unit to
accelerate the growth of its Diagnosis & Treatment segment. The total equity purchase price and
the settlement of debt, net of acquired cash, involved an amount of EUR 53 million . Including final
purchase price adjustments processed in the course of 2024, the company recognized a contingent
consideration of EUR 6 million at fair value, recognized as a Long-term provision, Goodwill of EUR
24 million, Other intangible assets of EUR 40 million and deferred tax asset and liability of EUR 5
million and EUR 2 million , respectively.
From the acquisition date through December 31, 2023, the contributions to sales to third parties
and net income of the acquiree were not material. The sales and net income would not differ
materially if the acquisition date had been January 1, 2023. Acquisition-related costs were
recognized in General and administrative expenses and were not material.
Divestments
During 2023 Philips completed six divestments for net cash consideration of EUR 80 million and a
gain of EUR 50 million, which is included in Other business income of the Consolidated statements
of income. The divestments were not material.

5 Interests in entities

Accounting policies
Associates are all entities over which the company has significant influence, but not control or joint
control. Significant influence is presumed with a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the
voting rights.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially
recognized at cost. The carrying amount of an investment in an associate 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 associates 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. 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. Impairment losses and gains or losses on sale of investments are
recorded in the Consolidated statements of income, more specifically on the line item ’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 is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the
extent that the company has an obligation or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The nature of the company’s interests in its consolidated entities and associates, and the effects of
those interests on the company’s financial position and financial performance are discussed below.
Group companies
Below is a list of subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024, that individually exceed 5% of either the
consolidated group Sales, Income from operations or Income from continuing operations (before
any intra-group eliminations) of Group legal entities. All of the entities are fully consolidated in the
Group financial statements.

Information related to non-controlling interests
As of December 31, 2024, three consolidated subsidiaries are not wholly owned by Philips
(December 31, 2023: four). In 2024, sales to third parties and Net income for these subsidiaries in
aggregate are EUR 467 million (December 31, 2023: EUR 492 million) and EUR 10 million
(December 31, 2023: EUR 27 million), respectively.
Investments in associates
Philips has investments in a number of associates. During 2024, Philips did not make any new
investments in associates.
In 2024 Philips recognized its share of net results from associates, reporting a loss of EUR 20 million
and an impairment of EUR 103 million. The most significant impairment was related to B-Soft Co.,
Ltd. (EUR 63 million), a Chinese IT provider for the medical and health sectors, largely due to
adverse economic conditions in China. The net results from associates and impairment losses were
recorded as part of Investments in associates, net of income taxes.
Cumulative translation adjustments related to investments in associates were EUR (10) million as of
December 31, 2024 (2023: EUR (21) million).
Involvement with unconsolidated structured entities
Philips founded three Philips Medical Capital (PMC) entities, in the US, France and Germany, in
which Philips holds a minority interest. Philips Medical Capital, LLC in the US 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.

| 101 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

The company concluded that it does not control, and therefore should not consolidate, the PMC
entities. In the US, 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.
As of December 31, 2024, Philips’ shareholding in Philips Medical Capital, LLC had a carrying value
of EUR 31 million (December 31, 2023: EUR 27 million).
The company does not have any material exposures to losses from interests in unconsolidated
structured entities other than the invested amounts.
6 Income from operations

Accounting policies
Revenue recognition
The company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer, in
an amount that reflects the consideration (i.e., transaction price) to which the company expects to
be entitled in exchange for the good or service. 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 if the period
between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the
customer exceeds six months.
Transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For consumer-
type products in the Personal Health segment, 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.
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 the price that would be
charged for the goods or service in a separate transaction under similar conditions to similar
customers. The transaction price is determined (considering variable considerations) and allocated
to performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. These transactions
mainly occur in the segments Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care and include
arrangements that require subsequent installation and training activities 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.
Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is highly probable
that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once
associated uncertainties are 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. Occasionally, the company may offer a full or partial refund of consideration
previously paid, for example as part of the resolution to warranty related matters. In such instances,
a provision is recognized for the amounts expected to be refunded to customers, and remeasured
at each reporting date to reflect changes in the estimated refunds, with a corresponding
adjustment to revenue.
In the case of loss under a sales agreement, the loss is recognized immediately. 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.
Sale of goods
Revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of the goods passes to the buyer, based
on the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation.
Revenue from services
Revenues are recognized over 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 toward 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.
Income from royalties
Royalty income from brand license arrangements and from intellectual property rights, such as
technology licenses or patents, is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance
of the relevant agreement.

Shipping and handling
Expenses incurred for shipping and handling are mainly recorded as cost of sales. 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 related to sales to third parties are partly recorded
as selling expenses. When shipping and handling billed to customers are considered a distinct and
separate performance obligation, the fees are recognized as revenue and costs included in cost of
sales.
Other business income (expenses)
Other business income (expenses) includes gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and
equipment, gains and losses on the sale of businesses, and other gains and losses not related to the
company’s operating activities.
Government grants
Grants from governments are recognized at their fair value when there is a reasonable assurance
that the grant will be received and the company will comply with the conditions. Grants related to
costs are deferred in the consolidated balance sheet and recognized in the consolidated statement
of income as a reduction of the related 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.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Sales-related accruals
The company has sales promotions-related agreements with distributors and retailers designed to
promote the sale of products. Among the programs are arrangements under which rebates and
discounts can be earned by the distributors and retailers by attaining agreed upon sales levels, or
for participating in specific marketing programs. Management estimates the sales-related accruals
associated with these arrangements based on a combination of historical patterns and future
expectations regarding which promotional targets are expected to be met by distributors and
retailers. Accrued customer rebates are presented as other current liabilities, unless there is a right
to offset against the respective accounts receivable.

7 Financial income and expenses

Accounting policies
Financial income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis in the Consolidated statements
of income. Interest income and expense are measured 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 | (258) | (376) | (387)
Financial income and expenses, net | (200) | (314) | (282)

In 2024, financial income and expenses net decreased by EUR 32 million year-on-year, mainly due
to higher interest income on cash and cash equivalents and net foreign exchange losses in 2023 ,
partly offset by higher interest expenses and provision-related accretion costs. Net interest expense
in 2024 was EUR 22 million lower than in 2023 , mainly due to an increased cash position which
was invested in short-term interest-bearing assets, partly offset by higher interest expenses. Interest
expenses increased as a result of debt refinancing in 2024 and higher finance charges on lease
contracts.
In 2023 , financial income and expenses, net increased by EUR 114 million year-on-year, mainly due
to fair value losses and net foreign exchange losses in 2023 , compared with gains in 2022. The fair
value losses mainly relate to Power Purchase Agreements for renewable energy, limited-life funds
(mainly Gilde Healthcare) and other investments recognized at fair value through profit and loss.
Furthermore, provision-related accretion expenses and net interest expense were higher in 2023
compared with 2022. Net interest expense in 2023 was EUR 21 million higher than in 2022, mainly
due the issuance of new debt in 2022 and 2023 and the impact of increasing interest rates.
8 Income taxes

Accounting policies
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 sheet 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: (a) the initial recognition of goodwill; or (b) the initial recognition
of an asset or liability in a transaction which: (i) is not a business combination, (ii) at the time of
transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss), (iii) at the time of the
transaction, does not give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible differences; or (c)
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

| 107 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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.
Consistent with the IAS 12 amendment regarding Pillar Two taxation as issued by the IASB and
adopted by the EU, Philips does not recognize and disclose deferred taxes arising from tax laws that
implement Pillar Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Deferred tax recoverability
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable
profits against which these can be utilized. Significant judgment is involved in determining whether
such profits are probable. Management determines this on the basis of expected taxable profits
arising from the reversal of recognized deferred tax liabilities, on appropriate tax planning
opportunities to support business goals and on the basis of forecasts.
Uncertain tax positions
Uncertain tax positions are recognized as liabilities if and to the extent it is probable that additional
tax will be due and the amount can be reliably measured. Significant judgment is involved in
determining these positions.

The income tax expense of continuing operations amounts to EUR 963 million ( 2023 : EUR 73
million tax benefit; 2022: EUR 113 million tax benefit).
The components of income before taxes and income tax expense are as follows:
Philips Group
Income tax expense in millions of EUR

| 2022 | 2023 | 2024
Income before taxes | (1,731) | (526) | 123
Investments in associates, net of income taxes | (2) | (98) | (124)
Income before taxes excluding Investment in associates | (1,729) | (429) | 247

Deferred tax (expense) benefit | 210 | 274 | (823)
Income tax (expense) benefit of continuing operations | 113 | 73 | (963)

Income tax expense of continuing operations excludes the tax benefit of the discontinued
operations of EUR 143 million (2023 : EUR 9 million benefit; 2022: EUR 18 million benefit), mainly
related to the tax audit settlements of prior years.

Deferred tax (expense) benefit | 210 | 274 | (823)

The increase in deferred tax expense in 2024 is mainly due to the de-recognition of deferred tax
assets in the US.
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 25.8% (2023: 25.8%; 2022:
25.8% ).
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 %

| 2022 | 2023 | 2024
Weighted average statutory income tax rate in % | 23.6 | 22.0 | 26.6
Recognition of previously unrecognized tax loss and credit carryforwards | 0.1 | 16.8 | (1.9)
Unrecognized tax loss and credit carryforwards | (0.7) | (9.6) | 141.8
Changes to recognition of temporary differences | (0.2) | (26.2) | 243.6
Non-taxable income and tax incentives | 5.8 | 22.8 | (30.2)
Non-deductible expenses | (22.9) | (10.7) | 10.0
Withholding and other taxes | (1.4) | (5.1) | 16.0
Tax rate changes | (1.0) | 0.9 | (0.9)
Prior year tax | 0.7 | 1.9 | 1.2
Tax expense (benefit) due to change in uncertain tax treatments | 2.8 | 2.3 | (20.4)
Others, net | (0.2) | 1.9 | 3.1
Effective income tax rate | 6.5 | 17.0 | 389.5

The effective income tax rate in 2024 is higher than the weighted average statutory income tax
rate, primarily due to the changes in the recognition of temporary differences and unrecognized tax
loss and credit carryforwards. This specifically relates to the de-recognition of deferred tax assets
associated with the Respironics litigation provision and carryforward losses along with temporary
differences in the United States (EUR 941 million). This increase is partly offset by the release of
uncertain tax positions and recurring tax incentives related to the innovation box regime in the
Netherlands, R&D investments and export activities.
Global minimum tax (Pillar Two)
In December 2021, the OECD released model rules to introduce a global minimum corporate
income tax rate of 15% applicable to multinational enterprise groups with global revenue over EUR
750 million (Pillar Two). The formal adoption of Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 in December
2022 aims to achieve a coordinated implementation of Pillar Two in the EU Member States. The
Dutch Government adopted the Minimum Tax Rate Act 2024 (MTR Act), in December 2023 and
the Pillar Two legislation has been applicable in local law with effect from 2024 in the Netherlands,
the EU and multiple other countries around the world. Therefore, Pillar Two applies to Philips from
the financial year ending December 31, 2024, and onward. Under this legislation, Philips is
generally required to pay top-up taxes on profits if the related Pillar Two jurisdictional effective tax
rate is less than 15% .
The current tax expense related to Pillar Two is EUR 1 million, resulting in an increase of ETR by
0.4%. This amount has been accounted for within the income taxes of the reporting period.
With reference to the income taxes accounting policy, Philips does not recognize and disclose
deferred taxes arising from tax laws that implement Pillar Two model rules published by the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
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 relating to the years 2024 and 2023, respectively, are presented in the
following tables.
The net deferred tax assets of EUR 1,835 million ( 2023: EUR 2,556 million) consist of deferred tax
assets of EUR 1,916 million ( 2023 : EUR 2,627 million) and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 81 million
(2023: EUR 71 million). Of the total deferred tax assets of EUR 1,916 million as of December 31,
2024 (2023: EUR 2,627 million), EUR 1,188 million (2023: EUR 1,676 million ) is recognized with
respect to entities in various countries where there have been tax losses in the current or preceding
period, primarily the US. Based on Philips' assessment of the recoverability of the recognized

| 109 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

deferred tax assets, the net decrease mainly relates to de-recognition of deferred tax assets on
carryforward losses, intangible assets and other liabilities, which include provisions for Respironics
litigation in the US. The decrease mainly results from updates to the company's long term income
projections by jurisdiction, including the US.
Philips recognizes deferred tax assets only to the extent future tax profits are considered probable.
For the recoverability assessment, the income projections were determined using similar
methodology as used for goodwill impairment testing (for more information refer to note
Goodwill ). The company evaluated multiple risk-adjusted scenarios that support the assumption
that it is probable that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to
utilize the recognized tax losses as well the deductible temporary differences. The projections
include forward-looking assumptions whereby the most recent available information was used to
determine the expected period of recovery of the deferred tax assets. Relevant developments
potentially impacting the period and probability of recovery are monitored closely.
A change in enacted tax rates or a revision to risk-adjusted long term income projections by
jurisdiction could have an impact on the measurement of deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2024, the temporary differences associated with investments, including
potential income tax consequences on dividends, for which no deferred tax liabilities are
recognized, aggregate to EUR 340 million (2023: EUR 444 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 (2024: EUR 116 million; 2023: EUR 390 million,
and this decrease mainly relates to releases and settlements arising out of the tax audit settlements
of prior years, in combination with higher 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 intra-group 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.

9 Earnings per share

Accounting policies
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 (after deduction of treasury shares) during the
period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders
and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (after deduction of treasury
shares) during the period, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise
performance shares, restricted shares and share options granted under share-based compensation
plans as well as forward contracts to repurchase shares.

Per-share calculations adjusted for share dividend
On May 7, 2024, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved a dividend of EUR 0.85 per
common share, in shares only. The dividend was settled in May through the issuance of
30,860,582 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 with respect to 2023.
10 Property, plant and equipment

Accounting policies
Owned assets
The cost 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.
Land and assets under construction are not depreciated. When assets under construction are ready
for their intended use, they are transferred to the relevant asset category and depreciation starts.
All other property, plant and equipment items are depreciated over their estimated useful lives to
their estimated residual values.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Philips Group
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Buildings | from 5 to 50 years
Machinery and installations | from 3 to 20 years
Other equipment | from 1 to 10 years

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of the assets concerned may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's book value exceeds their
recoverable amount. Impairments are reversed if and to the extent that the impairment no longer
exists. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal
and its value in use.
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 they extend the asset's original lifetime or capacity.
Right-of-use assets
The company leases various items of real estate, vehicles and other equipment. The company
determines whether an arrangement constitutes or contains a lease based on the substance of the
arrangement at the lease inception. 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
The company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of more than
12 months if the underlying asset is not of low value. Payments for short-term and low-value leases
are expensed over the lease term. Extension options are included in the lease term if their exercise
is reasonably certain. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurements. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying assets.
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 term in the Consolidated statement of income.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Impairment of owned and right-of-use assets
Judgments are required, not only to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired, but also whether indications exist that impairment losses previously recognized may no
longer exist or may have decreased (impairment reversal). After indications of impairment have
been identified, estimates and assumptions are used in the determination of the recoverable
amount of a fixed asset. These involve estimates of expected future cash flows (based on future
growth rates and remaining useful life) and residual value assumptions, as well as discount rates to
calculate the present value of the future cash flows.
Owned assets
Estimates are required to determine the (remaining) useful lives of fixed assets. Useful lives are
determined based on an asset's age, the frequency of its use, repair and maintenance policy,
technology changes in production and expected restructuring. The company estimates the
expected residual value per asset item. The residual value is the higher of the asset's expected sales
price (based on recent market transactions of similar sold items) and its material scrap value.
Right-of-use assets
Judgment is required to determine the lease term. The assessment of whether the company is
reasonably certain to exercise extension options impacts the lease term, which could affect the
amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.

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.
The company has no commitments to any leases not yet commenced in 2024 ( 2023: EUR 128
million). The company's lease contracts do not contain financial covenants.
The company enters into sale-and-leaseback transactions primarily for its Sleep & Respiratory Care
Business. 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 2024 were EUR 43 million
(2023 : EUR 55 million). The remaining minimum payment under sale-and-leaseback arrangements
included in lease obligations above are as follows:

11 Goodwill

Accounting policies
The measurement of goodwill at initial recognition is described in the Acquisitions and divestments
note. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is not amortized but is instead tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or
more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Internal and external sources of
information are considered to assess if there are indicators that an asset or groups of cash-
generating units (CGUs) may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to groups of CGUs and tested for
impairment at the Business level (one level below segment), which represents the lowest level at
which goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes. An impairment loss is recognized
in the Consolidated statements of income whenever and to the extent that the carrying amount of
a group of CGUs exceeds the recoverable amount for the group of CGUs, 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.
Accounting estimates and judgments
The cash flow projections used in the value in use calculations for goodwill impairment testing
contain various judgments and estimations as described in the ‘key assumptions’ section.

The carrying amount of each group of CGUs is compared to the recoverable amount of the group
of CGUs. Unless otherwise noted, the recoverable amount for each group of CGUs is based on
value-in-use calculations. Cash flow projections were determined using Philips management's
internal forecasts that cover an initial forecast period from 2025 to 2027. Projections were
extrapolated using the growth rates disclosed in the following table for an extrapolation period of 4
years (2028-2031), after which a terminal value was calculated per 2032. For the terminal value
calculation, growth rates were capped at a historical long-term average growth rate. The company
uses scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and supportable
assumptions that represent management’s best estimate are used as the basis for the value-in-use
calculations.
Key assumptions
Key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations were compound sales growth rates, EBITA*
in the terminal value and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows.
The compound sales growth rate is the annualized steady nominal growth rate over the forecast
period calculated with reference to the latest full year of actual sales as the base for the growth.
The compound sales growth rate used to calculate the terminal value is only applied to the first
year after the extrapolation period, after which no further growth is assumed for the terminal value
calculation.
The compound 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* for each group of CGUs is expected to increase over the projection period as a result of
volume growth and cost efficiencies. By their nature, these assumptions 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 the plans, goals and expectations set forth
in these assumptions.
The rates used for discounting the projected cash flows in goodwill impairment testing is based on
a 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. Philips performs the value-in-use
calculations using post-tax cash flows and discount rate, the implicit pre-tax rate discount rate is
derived from an iterative calculation for disclosure purposes.
The values assigned to the key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations were as follows:
Philips Group
Key assumptions 2024

| Compound sales growth rate |
| Initial forecast period | Extrapolation period | Used to calculate terminal value | Pre-tax discount rates
Monitoring | 5.3% | 4.7% | 2.5% | 9.1%
Image-Guided Therapy | 6.3% | 5.0% | 2.5% | 9.7%

Personal Health | 5.1% | 4.2% | 2.5% | 9.9%
Enterprise Informatics | 4.4% | 5.4% | 2.5% | 8.9%

The assumptions used for the 2023 value-in-use calculations for cash-generating units to which a
significant amount of goodwill was allocated were as follows:
Philips Group
Key assumptions 2023

| compound sales growth rate |
| initial forecast period | extrapolation period | used to calculate terminal value | pre-tax discount rates
Monitoring | 8.2% | 5.5% | 2.5% | 9.5%
Image-Guided Therapy | 7.9% | 5.2% | 2.5% | 10.7%
Precision Diagnosis | 3.8% | 3.4% | 2.5% | 10.4%

Personal Health | 5.0% | 4.6% | 2.5% | 10.3%
Enterprise Informatics | 5.3% | 5.8% | 2.5% | 9.0%

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The results of the annual impairment tests of the groups of CGUs 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.

12 Intangible assets excluding goodwill

Accounting policies
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.
Philips Group
Expected useful lives of intangible assets excluding goodwill in years

Brand names | 2-20
Customer relationships | 2-25
Technology | 3-20
Other | 1-10
Software | 1-10
Product development | 3-10

The weighted average expected remaining life of brand names, customer relationships, technology
and other intangible assets is 8.5 years as of December 31, 2024 (2023: 9.3 years).
Impairment of intangible assets not yet ready for use
Intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually
and whenever impairment indicators require. In the case of intangible assets not yet ready for use,
either internal or external sources of information are considered to assess if there are indicators that
an asset or a CGU may be impaired.
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 for intangible assets other than goodwill 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.
Accounting estimates and judgments
The cash flow projections used in the value in use calculations for intangible assets excluding
goodwill contain various judgments and estimations. For intangible assets excluding goodwill,
estimates are required to determine the (remaining) useful lives.

Philips did not make any acquisitions in 2024 ( 2023: acquisitions involved EUR 40 million of
intangible assets). For more information, refer to Acquisitions and divestments.
Impairments in 2024 amounted to EUR 188 million (2023: EUR 16 million) and mainly relate to the
impairment of acquired intangible assets following the decision to discontinue certain products in
the Diagnosis & Treatment segment.
The company uses scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and
supportable assumptions which represent management’s best estimate are used as the basis for
the value-in-use calculations.
The amortization and impairment of intangible assets is further specified in Income from
operations .
The most notable intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 relate to the BioTelemetry customer
relationships and technology with a carrying value of EUR 316 million and EUR 108 million and a
remaining amortization period of 12 years and 8 years, respectively, and Spectranetics customer
relationships and technology with a carrying value of EUR 256 million and EUR 164 million and a
remaining amortization period of 13 years and 8 years , respectively. The most notable intangible
assets as of December 31, 2023, relate to the BioTelemetry customer relationships and technology
with value of EUR 327 million and EUR 123 million and a remaining amortization period of 13 years
and 9 years, respectively, and Spectranetics customer relationships and technology with a carrying
value of EUR 261 million and EUR 175 million and a remaining amortization period of 14 years and
9 years, respectively.
13 Other financial assets

Accounting policies
Classification and measurement of financial assets
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the company’s business model for managing them.
The company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset
not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into four categories:
• financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)
• financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) with recycling of
cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
• financial assets desi gnated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and
losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (debt instruments and equity instruments)
Impairment of financial assets
The company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses for trade receivables, contract
assets, lease receivables, debt investments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
At each balance sheet date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognizes a loss allowance for
expected credit losses for financial assets measured at either amortized costs or at fair value
through other comprehensive income. If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on a financial
instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the company measures the loss
allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 months of expected credit losses.
If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since
initial recognition, the company measures the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an
amount equal to the lifetime-expected credit losses. For all trade receivables, contract assets and
lease receivables the company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime-
expected credit losses.
Accounting estimates and judgments
The determination of fair value is subject to estimates for investments that are not publicly traded.
Refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities .
Financial assets classified at amortized cost and at fair value through OCI are subject to impairment
assessment. The calculation of expected credit losses requires the company to apply significant
judgment and make estimates and assumptions that involve significant uncertainty at the time they
are made. Changes to these estimates and assumptions can result in significant changes to the
timing and amount of expected credit losses to be recognized.

Other current financial assets
In 2024 , Other current financial assets decreased from EUR 3 million to EUR 2 million (2023 :
decreased from EUR 11 million to EUR 3 million).
Other non-current financial assets
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. The
changes during 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, equity investments of EUR 222 million (2023 : EUR 231 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.
14 Other assets

Accounting policies
The company recognizes contract assets for revenue earned from installation services because the
receipt of consideration is conditional on successful completion of the installation. Upon
completion of the installation and acceptance by the customer, the amount recognized as contract
assets is reclassified to trade receivables.
Other assets are measured at amortized cost minus any impairment losses.

Other non-current assets
Other non-current assets as of December 31, 2024 , were EUR 118 million ( 2023 : EUR 93 million ),
mainly includes prepaid expenses.
Other current assets
Other current assets as of December 31, 2024, totaled EUR 586 million ( 2023 : EUR 500 million ),
primarily contract assets of EUR 349 million ( 2023 : EUR 297 million ) and prepaid expenses of EUR
238 million (2023: EUR 197 million) mainly related to Diagnosis & Treatment Businesses and
Connected Care Businesses.
15 Inventories

Accounting policies
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, considering 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. The write-down of inventories
to net realizable value is included in cost of sales.
Accounting estimates and judgments
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.

Inventories | 3,491 | 3,198

In 2024, overall global inventories have operationally decreased by EUR 293 million with the
increase in finished goods and decrease in other categories.
The write-down of inventories to net realizable value was EUR 230 million in 2024 and EUR 339
million in 2023.
16 Receivables

Accounting policies
Receivables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost if
held within a business model with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows or at fair value
through OCI if held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect
contractual cash flows and selling. Receivables are measured less any impairment losses.
Receivables are derecognized when the company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards,
which includes transactions in which the company enters into factoring transactions, or if the
company does not retain control over the receivables.
Accounting estimates
Receivables are subject to impairment assessment, which involves estimating expected credit losses.
Refer to Other financial assets for accounting policies on impairment of financial assets.

Non-current receivables
Non-current receivables are associated mainly with customer financing in the Diagnosis &
Treatment Businesses amounting (net of allowance) to EUR 81 million (2023 : EUR 102 million) ,
i nsurance receivables in the US amounting to EUR 33 million (2023: EUR 33 million ) and income tax
receivables amounting to EUR 36 million ( 2023: EUR 8 million).
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. 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.
Current receivables
Current receivables of EUR 3,672 million ( 2023 : EUR 3,733 million ) as of December 31, 2024 ,
included trade accounts receivable (net of allowance) of EUR 3,513 million (2023: EUR 3,546
million ), accounts receivable other of EUR 134 million (2023 : EUR 170 million), and accounts
receivable from investments in associates of EUR 25 million ( 2023: EUR 18 million) .

for certain Connected Care receivables. The allowance presented also includes the allowance for
Non-current customer finance receivables of EUR 8 million ( 2023: EUR 8 million). Other movements
in the current period are mainly related to foreign currency valuations.
Included in the above balances as of December 31, 2024, are allowances for individually impaired
receivables of EUR 239 million (2023: EUR 210 million).
17 Equity

Accounting policies
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 repurchases 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 shareholders’ equity until
such treasury shares are cancelled or reissued.
Where such treasury shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any
directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in
shareholders’ equity.
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.

Common shares
As of December 31, 2024 , authorized common shares consist of 2 billion shares ( December 31,
2023 : 2 billion ; December 31, 2022 : 2 billion ), and the issued and fully paid share capital consists
of 939,939,384 common shares, each share having a par value of EUR 0.20 ( December 31, 2023:
913,515,966 ; December 31, 2022: 889,315,082 ).
Preference shares
As a means to protect the company against (an attempt at) an unsolicited takeover or other
attempt to exert (de facto) control of the company, the ‘Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips’ has
been granted the right to acquire preference shares in the company. As of December 31, 2024, no
such right has been exercised and no preference shares have been issued. Authorized preference
shares consist of 2 billion shares as of December 31, 2024 ( December 31, 2023 : 2 billion ;
December 31, 2022 : 2 billion ).
Options, restricted and performance shares
Under its share-based compensation plans, the company granted stock options on its common
shares and other conditional rights to receive common shares in the future such as restricted shares
and performance shares (refer to Share-based compensation).
Treasury shares
In connection with the company’s share repurchase programs, shares which have been
repurchased and are held in Treasury for the purpose of (i) delivery under share-based

| 123 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

compensation plans upon exercise of options, or vesting of restricted or performance shares, and
(ii) capital reduction, are accounted for as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Treasury shares are
recorded at cost, representing the market price on the acquisition date. When treasury shares are
delivered by the company under its share-based compensation plans, such shares are removed
from treasury shares on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
When treasury shares are delivered by the company upon exercise of options, 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 and the cost is recorded in retained earnings, and the market price is recorded in capital in
excess of par value.
The following table shows the movements in the outstanding number of shares over the last three
years:

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 2024 , Philips used
methods (i) and (ii) to repurchase shares for share-based compensation plans and method (ii) to
repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes.
Forward contracts to repurchase shares and open market repurchases of shares
For share-based compensation plans
On August 05, 2024, Philips announced that it would repurchase shares for an amount of up to
EUR 125 million to cover certain of its obligations arising from its Long-Term Incentive plans. The
repurchases were executed through a combination of open market purchases by an intermediary
(in August 2024 acquiring 2.2 million shares which resulted in a EUR 60 million increase in retained
earnings against treasury shares) and one forward contract for an amount of EUR 65 million to
acquire 2.5 million shares with a settlement date in November 2026 and a weighted average
forward price of EUR 26.40.
On June 14, 2023 , Royal Philips announced that it will repurchase up to 7.1 million shares to cover
certain of its obligations arising from its Long-Term Incentive and employee stock purchases plans.
Under this program, Philips entered into one forward contract for an amount of EUR 138 million to
acquire 7.1 million shares with settlement dates varying between November 2024 and November
2025 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 19.43. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 3.1
million shares under this program were acquired (settled in the fourth quarter of 2024). This
resulted in a EUR 57 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares.

Under this program, Philips entered into one forward contract for an amount of EUR 63 million to
acquire 3.2 million shares with settlement dates in November 2024 and December 2024 and a
weighted average forward price of EUR 19.75. As of December 31, 2024, all shares under this
program were acquired (settled in the fourth quarter of 2024). This resulted in a EUR 63 million
increase in retained earnings against treasury shares.
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 to acquire in total 5 million for an
amount of EUR 174 million to acquire with settlement dates varying between October 2021 and
November 2022 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 34.85. On October 26, 2022, the
original settlement date of two tranches entered into under this program (in total 1.75 million
shares) has been extended from November 23, 2022 to November 2023, and November 2024,
respectively. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 5.0 million shares ( December 31, 2023: 4.3
million shares) under this program were acquired (settled in the fourth quarter of 2021 , 2022,
2023, and 2024). This resulted in a EUR 23 million (2023: EUR 35 million) increase in retained
earnings against treasury shares.
As of December 31, 2024, the remaining forward contracts to cover obligations under share-based
compensation plans related to 6.5 million shares (December 31, 2023: 11.1 million shares) and
amounted to EUR 142 million (December 31, 2023: EUR 224 million).
For capital reduction
On July 26, 2021, Philips announced a share buyback program for share cancellation purposes for
an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. Consequently, in the third quarter of 2021 Philips entered into
three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 731 million to acquire 20 million shares with
settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 37.36.
Philips executed the remainder of the program through open market purchases by an intermediary
in the fourth quarter of 2021(acquiring 21 million shares) and January 2022 (acquiring 0.8 million
shares). This resulted in a EUR 781 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares. As
of December 31, 2024, Philips completed the program announced in 2021 and as a result a total
of 19.6 million (December 31, 2023: 15.1 million ) shares were acquired (in the fourth quarter of
2022 , second, third and fourth quarters of 2023, and first and second quarters of 2024). This
resulted in a EUR 167 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares (2023: EUR 483
million including dividend adjustment).
As of December 31, 2024, there were no remaining forward contracts entered into for capital
reduction purposes. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining forward contracts entered into for
capital reduction purposes related to 4.4 million shares and amounted to EUR 167 million.
Shares cancellation

value of EUR 768 million (including costs). The dividend was distributed in the form of shares only,
resulting in the issuance of 30,860,582 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 2023. Further reference is made to Earnings per share.
A proposal will be submitted to the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to pay a
dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in shares or cash at the option of the shareholder, against
retained earnings for 2024.

value of EUR 741 million (including costs). Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share
dividend. Approximately 45% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the
issuance of 14,174,568 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an
amount of EUR 411 million (including costs).
Limitations in the distribution of shareholders’ equity
As of December 31, 2024, pursuant to Dutch law, certain limitations exist relating to the
distribution of shareholders’ equity of EUR 3,254 million. Such limitations relate to common shares
of EUR 188 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained
earnings of EUR 1,052 million and unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 2,014 million.
The unrealized gain related to cash flow hedges of EUR 1 million and unrealized loss related to fair
value through OCI financial assets of EUR 90 million qualify as revaluation reserves and reduce the
distributable amount due to the fact that these reserves are negative.
The legal reserves required by Dutch law of EUR 1,052 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 of December 31, 2023, these limitations in distributable amounts were EUR 2,435 million and
related to common shares of EUR 183 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law
included under retained earnings of EUR 990 million and unrealized currency translation differences
of EUR 1,263 million. The unrealized losses related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR

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 the current strong investment grade credit rating. Furthermore, 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 (reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS
measure, Net income, is provided at the end of this note).

18 Debt

Accounting policies
Debt
Debt is initially measured at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently,
debt is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. 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 is derecognized when the obligation under the
liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments due over the lease term,
generally discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured in
case of modifications or reassessments of the lease.

Philips has a USD 2.5 billion Commercial Paper Program and a EUR 1 billion committed standby
revolving credit facility that can be used for general group purposes. As of December 31, 2024 ,
Philips did not have any loans outstanding under either facility. These facilities do not have a
material adverse change clause, have no financial covenants and no credit-rating-related
acceleration possibilities.
Philips 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 . In 2024, Philips issued EUR 700 million
fixed rate notes due 2032 under the EMTN program for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of the 2025 EUR Bonds and other floating rate debt . As of December 31, 2024 , Philips
has EUR 3.7 billion (2023: EUR 3.3 billion) fixed rate notes outstanding under the EMTN program.
The provisions applicable to all USD-denominated corporate bonds issued by the company in March
2008 and March 2012 (due 2038 and 2042) contain a ‘Change of Control Triggering Event’. If the
company would experience such an event with respect to a series of corporate bonds the company
might be required to offer to purchase the bonds that are still outstanding at a purchase price
equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Furthermore, the
conditions applicable to the EUR-denominated corporate bonds issued since 2018 contain a similar
provision (‘Change of Control Put Event’). Upon the occurrence of such an event, the company
might be required to redeem or purchase any of such bonds at their principal amount together
with interest accrued. Philips’ outstanding long-term debt does not contain financial covenants.
As of December 31, 2024, debt includes forward contracts of EUR 142 million (nominal value)
relating to the repurchase of shares to cover long-term incentive and employee stock purchase
plans, with maturity dates in the fourth quarter of 2025 (EUR 77 million ) and the fourth quarter of
2026 (EUR 65 million).
In 2023, Philips issued EUR 500 million of fixed rate notes under the company’s EMTN program
that mature in 2031 and used the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of EUR 500 million that was outstanding under the credit facility entered into in the
fourth quarter of 2022 . In 2023 , Philips entered into a total amount of EUR 138 million forward
contracts relating to the company’s long-term incentive plans. These forwards partly matured in the
fourth quarter of 2024 (EUR 61 million ) with the remainder maturing in 2025 (EUR 77 million ). In
addition, a total of EUR 125 million forward contracts relating to the Long-Term Incentive and
employee stock purchase plans and EUR 481 million of forwards related to the share buyback
program announced in 2021 matured throughout 2023.

19 Provisions

Accounting policies
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized if, as a result of a
past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation, it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be
estimated reliably. 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
(accretion) is recognized as interest expense.
Restructuring-related provisions
Provisions for severance and termination benefits are 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.
Accounting estimates and judgments
By their nature, the recognition of provisions requires estimates and assumptions regarding the
timing and the amount of outflow of resources. The main estimates include:
• Product warranty provisions – the provisions for assurance-type product warranty reflect the
estimated costs of replacement and free-of-charge services that will be incurred by the company
with respect to products sold and include costs to execute quality remediation and related field
actions (including the Respironics field action). These require management to make estimates
and assumptions about items such as quantities and the portion of products to be remediated
through replacement, repair or (partial) refund.
• Environmental provisions – 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. The impact of climate change is also
considered when assessing whether Philips has a present legal or constructive obligation,
particularly in relation to fines, penalties and commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Legal provisions – provisions for legal claims and investigations reflect the best estimate of the
outflow of resources, supported by internal and external legal counsel, when it is probable that
such outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation.
• Contingent consideration provisions – the provision for contingent consideration reflects the
fair value of the expected payment to former shareholders of an acquired company 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. Changes in fair value
of the contingent consideration liability are reflected in other business income (expenses).

Product warranty provisions
Product warranty provisions include costs to execute quality remediation and related field actions,
as well as the field action provision in connection with the Philips Respironics voluntary recall
notification which is explained separately below. The company expects the provisions to be utilized
mainly within 2025.
Additions in 2024 include quality remediation and related field actions of EUR 137 million and EUR
139 million in the Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care segments, respectively, mainly for
the following matters:
Trilogy EVO and Trilogy EV300
In September 2024, Philips issued a field safety notice to customers of its Trilogy EVO and Trilogy
EV300 ventilators, regarding a potential contamination issue when the ventilator is used in
combination with in-line nebulizers. This notification was updated in November 2024 with
additional customer instructions. Philips is in the process of commencing the necessary remediation
actions.
Respironics field-action provision
On June 14, 2021, Philips subsidiary Philips Respironics initiated a voluntary recall notification in the
US and field safety notice outside the US for certain sleep and respiratory care products related to
the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices. The
remediation is progressing globally. The total number of units expected to be remediated as of
December 31, 2024 is 5.1 million (2023: 5.6 million) devices globally. The decrease in units is
mainly due to current insights regarding the number of units that are not expected to be returned
to Philips or where key data collection efforts to perform remediation have been exhausted.
Philips has recognized a provision based on Philips’ best estimate of the costs to repair, replace or
refund devices, subject to the Respironics field action. The provision is related to the cost to repair,
replace or provide financial compensation for affected devices and includes, among others, the
costs for the remaining production, the cost of intensified communication with physicians and
patients, material costs, labor cost and logistics, as well as costs relating to financial compensation
provided to customers under the field action. The provision does not include any product liability
costs or other claims.

Additions | 240 | 30
Utilizations | (285) | (220)
Translation differences and other | (10) | (14)
Balance as of December 31 | 334 | 130

Utilizations for the year reflect the costs incurred in executing the remediation during the year.
The completion of the field action continues to be subject to uncertainty, which requires
management to make estimates and assumptions about items such as quantities and the portion to
be replaced, repaired and subject to financial compensation. An increase in the assumption for the
financial compensation portion by 10 percentage points could have the effect of increasing the
provision by an estimated EUR 18 million. Actual outcomes in future periods may differ from these
estimates and affect the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Further to the above, field-action running remediation costs during the year of EUR 133 million
(2023: EUR 224 million, 2022: EUR 210 million ), such as testing, external advisory and regulatory
response and additional right-of-return and warranty provisions, have been incurred.
Philips and its affiliates are defendants in a number of consumer class action lawsuits from users of
the affected devices and a number of individual personal injury and other compensation claims. For
legal matters including claims refer to the legal provisions section of this note as well as
Contingencies.
Environmental provisions
The environmental provisions include accrued costs recorded with respect to environmental
remediation in various countries. In the US, subsidiaries of the company have been named as
potentially responsible parties in state and federal proceedings for the clean-up of certain sites.
The additions and the releases of the provisions originate from additional insights in relation to
factors like the estimated cost of remediation, changes in regulatory requirements and efficiencies
in completion of various site work phases.
Approximately EUR 65 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 refer
to Contingencies.

In 2024, the most significant restructuring projects impacted segments Other and Connected Care
and mainly took place in the US and the Netherlands. The restructuring comprised mainly product
portfolio rationalization and the reorganization of global support functions. The company expects
the provisions to be utilized mainly within the next year.
In 2024, Philips continued general productivity actions aimed at simplifying the organization as part
of its multi-year plan designed to create value with sustainable impact. This included the further
reduction of 2,000 roles, thereby completing the planned reduction of 10,000 roles globally across
the organization by 2025 ahead of schedule. Severance and termination-related costs of EUR 140
million were recorded in 2023.
Legal 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.
Additions mainly relate to the legal provision in connection with the settlement of Respironics
personal injury and medical monitoring claims in the US of EUR 982 million (discounted). Under the
settlement Philips Respironics has agreed to pay a total of USD 1.1 billion. Most of the related
payments are expected in 2025. In the first half of 2024 Philips Respironics recorded insurance
income of EUR 538 million in connection with the agreement with insurers to partially reimburse
the Respironics recall related product liability claims. This amount was paid in full to the company in
2024.
Utilizations of EUR 477 million mainly relate to the economic loss class action settlement in the US
that was paid in 2024.
For details of other legal matters, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings, refer
to Contingencies .
The company expects the provisions to be utilized mainly within the next three years.
Contingent consideration provisions
There is no material movement in 2024 and approximately EUR 21 million of the long-term
provision is expected to be utilized within the next three years, with the remainder after four years.
Other provisions

employees and provision for royalty obligations.
Releases in 2023 and 2024 are due to the reassessment of the positions in other provisions
throughout the year.
The company expects the other provisions to be utilized mainly within the next five years.
20 Post-employment benefits

Accounting policies
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan for which the company 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.

| 132 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan that is not a defined contribution plan.
Defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive after
retirement. That pension benefit typically depends on several factors such as years of service, age
and salary.
The net pension asset or liability recognized in the Consolidated balance sheets in respect of
defined benefit plans is the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the projected defined
benefit obligation at the balance sheet 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, where available. The curves are based on the Mercer
Yield Curve methodology, which uses data of corporate bonds rated AA or equivalent. For the
other plans the Mercer Yield Curve/Mercer Methodology has also been used taking into account
the cash flows as much as possible in case there is a deep market in corporate bonds. For plans in
countries without a deep corporate bond market, the discount rate is based on government bonds
and the plan’s maturity.
Pension costs with respect to defined benefit 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 with respect to 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.
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.
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 with respect to other 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 long-term employee benefits can be found in Provisions in the Other
provisions section.
Accounting estimates and judgments
To make the actuarial calculations for the valuation of defined benefit obligations, assumptions are
needed for interest rates, healthcare cost increases, future pension increases, life expectancy and
employee turnover rates. The actuarial calculations are made by external actuaries based on inputs
from observable market data, such as corporate bond returns and yield curves to determine the
discount rates to apply, mortality tables to determine life expectancy and inflation rates to
determine future salary and pension growth assumptions.

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 who 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 US. 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 Germany and the US make up most of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) and
the net position. The company also has DB plans in the rest of the world; 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 breakdown of the present value of the funded and unfunded DBO,
the fair value of plan assets and the net position in Germany, the US and in other countries. The
table also provides the value of reimbursement rights.

Germany
The company has several DB plans in Germany, some of which are unfunded. The plan assets of
the funded DB plans in Germany are held in a legally separate pension trust.
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 largely 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.
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 US are covered via the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, which charges a fee to US companies providing DB pension plans. The fee is
also dependent on the amount of unfunded vested liabilities.
Philips has announced to plan participants the intent to fully terminate the US qualified defined
benefit pension plans in 2025. The announcements made did not impact the accounting for these
plans during 2024 and the anticipated settlement, if and when completed, is not expected to have
a material impact to the company’s results or cash flows in 2025.
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.
Investment policy in the largest pension plans
Plan assets are managed in legally separate pension trusts, primarily overseen by independent
trustees, who bear full responsibility for and have complete discretion over the investment strategy
for these plan assets. The plan assets of the Philips pension plans are invested in well-diversified
portfolios. For most plans, the interest rate sensitivity of the fixed income portfolio is closely aligned
with that of the plan’s pension liabilities. Contributions from the sponsoring company are primarily
directed toward increasing the fixed income allocation. Additionally, in most investment strategies,
any structural improvement in the plan's funded ratio over time is used to further reduce the
interest rate mismatch between the plan assets and the pension liabilities.

Assumptions
The mortality tables used for the company’s largest DB plans are:
Germany: Heubeck-Richttafeln 2018 Generational, assuming 93% of mortality rates for male
retirees between ages 60 and 85. US: PRI-2012 Generational with MP2021 improvement scale +
white collar adjustment.
The weighted averages of the assumptions used to calculate the DBO were as follows:
Philips Group
Assumptions used for defined benefit obligations in %
as of December 31,

| Germany | United States | Other countries | Total
| 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024
Discount rate | 3.7% | 3.3% | 5.0% | 5.1% | 4.9% | 4.2% | 4.3% | 4.0%
Inflation rate | 2.0% | 2.0% | 2.3% | 2.3% | 2.5% | 2.2% | 2.2% | 2.1%
Salary increase | 2.8% | 2.8% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 4.3% | 4.4% | 3.0% | 3.1%

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 in years of the DBO of the DB plans is 10 (Germany: 11, US: 8, and other
countries: 10) as of December 31, 2024 (2023: 10).

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 / increase in the assumed rates of mortality for the company’s major
plans. A 10% decrease / increase in assumed mortality rates equals a change of life expectancy by 0.5 - 1
year.
Cash flows and costs in 2025
Cash outflows in relation to post-employment benefits are estimated to amount to EUR 421 million
in 2025, consisting of:
• EUR 24 million employer contributions to DB plans (Germany: EUR 11 million, US: EUR 0 million ,
other countries: EUR 13 million);
• EUR 45 million cash outflows in relation to DB plans (Germany: EUR 21 million, US: EUR 10
million, Other Countries: EUR 14 million); and
• EUR 352 million employer contributions to DC plans (Netherlands: EUR 142 million, US: EUR 144
million, Other Countries: EUR 66 million).
The service and administration cost for 2025 is expected to amount to EUR 33 million for DB plans.
The net interest cost for 2025 for the DB plans is expected to amount to EUR 18 million. The cost
for DC pension plans in 2025 is equal to the expected DC cash flow.

22 Other liabilities

Accounting policies
Other liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost and are
derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.
The company recognizes contract liabilities if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever
is earlier) from a customer before the company transfers the related goods or services. Contract
liabilities are recognized as revenue when the company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers
control of the related goods or services to the customer).

Other non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities were EUR 45 million as of December 31, 2024 ( December 31, 2023 : EUR 54
million ).
Non-current liabilities are associated mainly with indemnification and non-current accruals.

Reconciliation of liabilities arising from financing activities
Certain items in the statements of cash flows do not correspond to the differences between the
balance sheet amounts for the respective items, principally because of the effects of translation
differences and consolidation changes.

24 Contingencies

Accounting policies
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a liability of uncertain timing and amount. Contingencies are not recognized
in the balance sheet because they are dependent on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or
more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company or because the risk of
loss is estimated to be possible but not probable or because the amount cannot be measured
reliably. Pursuant to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, certain
information is not disclosed for legal proceedings for which the company concludes that disclosure
can be expected to seriously prejudice the outcome of the matter.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are disclosed if the inflow of economic benefits is probable, but not virtually
certain. If the inflow of economic benefits becomes virtually certain, the asset would no longer be
contingent and its recognition appropriate.

Financial 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 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.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Significant judgment is required to determine the likelihood of a potential outflow of resources. In
addition, judgment is involved in determining whether the amount of an obligation can be
measured with sufficient reliability. Contingencies involve inherent uncertainties including, but not
limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties, governmental actions, tax and
environmental remediation. Contingent assets require management to apply judgment, especially
to estimate the likelihood of the inflow of economic benefits and timing of recognition.

Guarantees
The total fair value of guarantees recognized on the balance sheet amounts to EUR nil million for
both 2024 and 2023 . Remaining off-balance-sheet business related guarantees on behalf of third
parties and associates as of December 31, 2024, amounted to EUR 343 million (December 31,
2023 : EUR 2 million ). These mainly include bank guarantees secured for insurance companies to
cover product liability-related cash flows related to the Respironics recall.
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.
Public investigations
In February 2023, the company received a statement of objections from the French Competition
Authority (FCA) initiating a formal investigation to verify whether the company and certain other
manufacturers of small domestic appliances breached antitrust rules in France in the period
2009-2014 through the alleged exchange of commercially sensitive information. The FCA issued its
decision in December 2024, in which it closed the case by concluding that the company did not
violate antitrust rules in France.
Respironics recall
On June 14, 2021, Philips subsidiary Philips RS North America LLC (Philips Respironics) issued a
voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for
specific Philips Respironics CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and mechanical ventilator devices (the “Recalled
Devices”).
Consent Decree
On August 26, 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commenced an inspection of the
Philips Respironics manufacturing facility in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, and provided Philips
Respironics with its preliminary inspectional observations on November 9, 2021. In the first half of
2024, Philips Respironics reached an agreement with the US Department of Justice (DoJ), acting on
behalf of the FDA, regarding the terms of a consent decree to resolve the identified issues in
relation to the inspection. The consent decree was entered by the court in April 2024.
DOJ investigation; state Attorneys General investigation
Philips Respironics and certain of Philips' subsidiaries in the US continue to cooperate with a
criminal and civil investigation triggered by a subpoena received from the DOJ in 2022 to provide
information related to events leading to the Respironics recall. In addition, the same entities are
cooperating with an investigation initiated in 2024 by certain US state Attorneys General into trade
practices related to the products subject of the Respironics recall. While the outflow of economic
resources in connection with these investigations is assessed as probable, given the current stage of
the investigations, the company is not able to reliably estimate the financial impact.
Product liability claims
Following the voluntary recall notification, a number of civil complaints have been filed in several
jurisdictions against Philips Respironics and certain of its affiliates (including the company) generally
alleging economic loss, personal injury and/or the potential for personal injury allegedly caused by
the recalled devices.
In the US, consumer and commercial class action lawsuits have been filed alleging economic loss
and medical monitoring claims. Individual personal injury lawsuits have also been filed. On October
8, 2021, a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in the US District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania was formed, and most of these class action and personal injury lawsuits have been
consolidated in the MDL for pre-trial proceedings.
On September 7, 2023, Philips Respironics reached agreement on a class action settlement in
relation to the economic loss class action complaint, for which the company recorded a EUR 575
million provision in the first quarter of 2023. Under the agreement, which became final in May
2024, the Philips defendants agreed to provide predefined cash awards to all eligible participants in
the US depending on the type of device, extended warranties on all remediated devices provided as
part of Respironics’ recall program, and an additional cash award if they return the recalled device

| 139 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

to Philips Respironics. The settlement also provides for compensation for individuals who acquired
replacement devices in the market after the recall and prior to the announcement of the
settlement. The settlement also provides for compensation to private insurers and other third-party
payers. The claims period concluded on August 9, 2024, and since then, the Claims Administrator
has been processing claims, calculating relevant payment amounts, and making payments to
eligible class members.
On May 9, 2024, Philips Respironics reached agreement on a class action settlement in relation to
the medical monitoring class action complaint. Under the agreement, which became final in
January 2025, the Philips defendants agreed to pay USD 25 million into a Qualified Settlement
Fund for the benefit of eligible class members. The USD 25 million amount is a fixed cap on the
amount of the settlement and will be used to fund, among other things, research related to the
advancement of public knowledge regarding the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of those
injuries alleged to have been caused by use of the recalled devices.
Also on May 9, 2024, Philips Respironics reached agreement on a private settlement in relation to
US personal injury claims. Under the agreement, the Philips defendants have agreed (subject to a
termination right) to pay USD 1.075 billion to consist of USD 25 million in notice and administrative
costs and USD 1.050 billion into a Personal Injury Settlement Fund. The settlement is an opt-in
agreement, by which eligible claimants would release all of their personal injury claims in exchange
for participation in the Personal Injury Settlement Fund. To participate in the settlement, an eligible
claimant must have experienced a qualifying injury. The Philips parties had the right to terminate
the settlement if less than 95% of eligible claimants would register for the settlement by the
registration deadline on January 31, 2025. As at the registration deadline registrations exceeded
95%, the settlement has now become final with payment expected in the first half of 2025. For
any individuals who declined to participate in, or are ineligible for, the settlement, and who wish to
litigate their personal injury claims, they will need to identify themselves after the registration
deadline and then comply with court orders imposing certain discovery obligations on them,
including with respect to early disclosure of their evidence on causation.
Philips Respironics and certain of its affiliates (including the company) continue to be defendants in
consumer class action lawsuits in Australia, Canada and Israel and collective or group actions in
Chile, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands alleging economic loss and/or personal injury.
While the company believes it is probable that ongoing lawsuits will in the aggregate lead to an
outflow of economic resources for Philips Respironics or other Philips entities, given the significant
uncertainty regarding the nature of the relevant events and potential obligations, the company is
not currently able to reliably estimate the amount of the obligation associated with these various
lawsuits. The final outcome of the lawsuits and the remaining cost to resolve them cannot currently
be determined due to a number of variables, including the early stages of some of these
proceedings and uncertainty regarding the number of remaining claimants, their allegations, and
their alleged injuries. The courts have not yet been asked to decide the question of whether any of
the claimed injuries could have been caused by use of the recalled devices.
In 2024, the company and its insurance carriers reached an agreement on the basis of which the
insurance carriers agreed to contribute EUR 540 million to cover product liability-related cash flows
related to the Respironics recall. This amount was paid in full to the company in 2024.
Securities claims
On August 16, 2021, a securities class action complaint was filed against the company, its former
CEO and its former CFO in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 causing damage to investors. On September 23,
2024, following amendments to the complaint, the court issued a decision dismissing all claims
against the company’s former CFO and the former head of Philips Respironics but denying in part
the motion to dismiss with respect to the company and its former CEO. The Court narrowed the
class period and dismissed all claims based on statements made before 2018. The Court also
dismissed all claims relating to certain categories of alleged misstatements. On October 28, 2024,
the company and its former CEO moved for reconsideration of that portion of the decision denying
their motion, and that motion was pending as of December 31, 2024.
In the Netherlands, six different parties (including European Investors – VEB and Deminor Litigation
Funding) representing both retail and institutional investors have approached the company, holding
the company and its directors liable for alleged misstatements and failures to make timely
disclosures in relation to the Respironics recall. As of December 31, 2024, one party has filed a civil
complaint with the Amsterdam District Court.
It is the company’s assessment that it is possible but not probable that these cases could lead to a
certain outflow of economic resources. The company is not able to reliably estimate the financial
impact, if any. An adverse outcome of these cases could have a material impact on the company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
SEC investigation
Following earlier requests for information from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
in March 2024, the company received a subpoena from the SEC relating to the Respironics Recall
and compliance with relevant securities laws. The investigation is not an indication that the SEC or
its staff have determined that any violations of law have occurred. The company is fully cooperating
with the investigation.It is the company's assessment that it is possible but not probable that this
investigation could lead to certain outflow of resources. The company is not able to reliably
estimate the financial impact, if any.
Other claims
On October 12, 2021, SoClean, a company offering ozone-based cleaning products for sleep
devices, filed a lawsuit in the US against the company and certain of its affiliates alleging that the
defendants’ statements about the potential adverse effect ozone cleaning may have on the recalled
devices has significantly damaged its business. Philips believes that the claim is without merit and
will vigorously defend itself. In November 2023, the court ruled on one of the motions to dismiss
filed by defendants and partially dismissed some of SoClean’s claims. On January 4, 2024, Philips
and its affiliates filed their answer and counterclaims against SoClean and one of its affiliates. In

| 140 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

October 2024, the court partially dismissed some of the counterclaims. Philips and its affiliates are
also pursuing claims against SoClean and one of its affiliates for contribution for personal injury
settlement costs and/or personal injury liability incurred by the company or its affiliates. SoClean
and its affiliate have sought to dismiss those claims, but the court has not yet reached a decision.
In addition, some of Philips Respironics’ business partners, such as distributors and durable medical
equipment providers, have filed or threatened to file claims alleging economic losses suffered as a
consequence of the voluntary recall. Philips Respironics is engaging with certain of its business
partners on the level of compensation they allege to be entitled to under Philips Respironics’
replacement program of the recalled devices. As of December 31, 2024, most of these claims have
been resolved.
It is the company’s assessment that it is possible but not probable that these cases could lead to a
certain outflow of economic resources. The company is not able to reliably estimate the financial
impact, if any. In the event of an adverse outcome, these matters could have a material impact on
the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
To date, other than for the economic loss, medical monitoring and personal injury settlements
discussed above, no provisions have been recorded for the litigation and investigations in the US
and Canada associated with the Respironics field action.
Other
In the second half of 2023, Electro Medical Systems S.A., a manufacturer of, among others,
medical devices for dental prophylaxis, filed a lawsuit against the company alleging that the
company materially breached its duties under a cooperation agreement entered into between the
parties in 2016, claiming damages in excess of EUR 300 million, alleging loss of profit and lost
increase in brand value. Philips disagrees with the allegations and has submitted its statement of
defense in June 2024. The first Court hearing is expected to take place in the first half of 2025.

by the ultimate customer and settled directly with Philips Medical Capital LLC. Philips Medical
Capital LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, is owned 60% by De Lage Landen Financial
Services, Inc. (DLL) and 40% by Philips Electronics North America Corporation (Philips).
On August 14, 2023, it was announced that Exor N.V. acquired a 15% minority stake in Philips
shares and entered into a relationship agreement with the company. Pursuant to the relationship
agreement with the company, Exor N.V. proposed one member to the Supervisory Board, who was
confirmed at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 7, 2024. From this date,
Exor is considered a related party for reporting purposes. For remuneration details of Benoît
Ribadeau-Dumas as the Exor nominee see Information on remuneration. Exor has agreed to
maintain its shareholding of at least 15% up to 20% for three years from August 13, 2023. Philips

26 Share-based compensation

Accounting policies
Philips share-based compensation is an equity-settled plan made of restricted and performance
shares. The restricted shares are subject to a three -year service condition and the performance
shares include both market and non-market-based performance conditions, in addition to a three -
year service condition. These shares are awarded to the Executive Committee and senior
management.
The grant date fair value of market-based performance shares is determined through a Monte
Carlo valuation model. The grant date fair value of non-market-based performance shares and
restricted shares is determined as the share price at the grant date as participants receive notional
dividends throughout the vesting period. The costs of share-based compensation plans are revised
for expected performance (non-market-based performance shares) and forfeiture and are spread
evenly over the service period.
Share-based compensation is recognized over the service period as personnel expense in the
consolidated statement of income, with a corresponding increase to equity.
Accounting estimates and judgments
The use of a valuation model to determine market-based performance share fair value requires
estimates for the expected volatility of the Philips share price and correlation among input variables.
At each reporting date, Philips calculates the expected realization of the non-market-based
performance targets and revises the expected share-based compensation expense. The cumulative
effect is recorded in the consolidated statement of income with a corresponding adjustment in equity.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance
and/or service conditions have not been met.

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
• options on its common shares
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 104 million (2023 : EUR 97 million; 2022: EUR 104
million ). This includes the employee stock purchase plan of EUR 8 million , which is not a share-
based compensation that affects equity. In the Consolidated statements of changes in equity EUR
96 million is recognized in 2024 and represents the costs of the share-based compensation plans.
The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for forfeitures. USD-denominated performance
shares, restricted shares and options are granted to employees in the US only.
Performance shares
The performance is measured over a three -year performance period. The performance shares have
three performance conditions: relative Total Shareholders’ Return (TSR) compared to a peer group
of 20 companies including Philips (20 companies including Philips (2023: 20 companies; 2022: 20
companies, 2021 : 20 companies); adjusted Earnings Per Share growth** (EPS); and a sustainability
criterion. 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 conditions are weighted as follows: TSR 50%, EPS 40% and
SDG 10% (applicable for 2021, 2022 and 2023 plans). As of 2024 the performance conditions are
weighted as follows: TSR 40%, EPS 40% and SDG 20%.
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.
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 2024 grants:
• risk-free rate: 2.72%
• expected share price volatility: 39%

| 142 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 10-year period.
A summary of the status of the company’s performance share plans as of December 31, 2024, and
changes during the year are presented in the following table:

28 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Accounting policies
Fair value hierarchy
For financial reporting purposes, financial instruments are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3, based on
the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance
of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are as follows:
• Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the company can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 – all significant inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
• Level 3 – one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, such as
third-party pricing information without adjustments, for the asset or liability.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting
period during which the change has occurred.
Offsetting and master netting agreements
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when,
and only when, the company currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off the amounts and
the group intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Determining the fair value of financial instruments requires the use of estimates according to the
method applied for each type of financial asset of liability. 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.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Level 1
Instruments included in level 1 are composed 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 (OCI). 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.
The fair value of debt is estimated on the basis of the quoted market prices for certain issuances, or
on the basis of discounted cash flow analysis using 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.

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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.
The fair value of contingent consideration is dependent on the terms of the respective acquisition
agreement that may require Philips 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 the contingent
consideration provision is generally 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 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.

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.

Offsetting and master netting agreements
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.

Accounting policies
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 a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies
as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (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
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.
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 a forecasted transaction
is expected not to 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.
Accounting estimates and judgments
Financial assets are subject to impairment assessment, which involves estimating expected credit
losses. Refer to Other financial assets for accounting policies on impairment of financial assets.

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risks which are further analyzed below. 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 short and longer term basis. Philips
invests surplus cash in short-term deposits with appropriate maturities and money market funds 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. As of December 31, 2024 Philips had
EUR 2,401 million in cash and cash equivalents ( 2023 : EUR 1,869 million ), which includes short-
term deposits of EUR 1,946 million ( 2023 : EUR 1,399 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.
Philips has a USD 2.5 billion Commercial Paper Program and a EUR 1 billion committed standby
revolving credit facility that can be used for general group purposes. As of December 31, 2024 ,
Philips did not have any loans outstanding under either facility. These facilities do not have a
material adverse change clause, have no financial covenants and have no credit-rating-related
acceleration possibilities.
Philips 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. In 2024, Philips issued EUR 700 million
fixed rate notes due 2032 under the EMTN program for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of the 2025 EUR Bonds and floating rate debt. As of December 31, 2024, Philips has

| 151 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

EUR 3.7 billion (2023: EUR 3.3 billion) fixed rates notes outstanding under the EMTN program. For
a description of Philips’ credit facilities, refer to Debt.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, as of December 31, 2024, Philips also held EUR 4 million
(2023: EUR 14 million ) of listed (level 1) equity investments at fair value (classified as other non-
current financial assets).
The following table presents a summary of the Group’s fixed contractual cash obligations and
commitments as of December 31, 2024. 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, and
contractual provisions, as well as changes in business strategy and needs. Therefore, the actual
payments made in future periods may vary from those presented in the following table:
Philips Group

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 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 130
million (2023: EUR 153 million). As of December 31, 2024, capital contributions already made to
these investment funds are recorded as non-current financial assets.
Philips offers voluntary supply chain finance programs for certain US Dollar, Euro and Swedish
Krona 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 of those arrangements. As of December 31, 2024,
approximately EUR 97 million (2023: EUR 114 million ) of the Philips account payable were
transferred under these arrangements.

With respect to the Respironics field action, please refer to Contingencies. The management
continues to monitor the risks associated with such potential claims and its impact on liquidity
position, if any.
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.

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, 2024, a gain of EUR 1 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges
(2023: EUR 6 million gain). The result deferred in equity will be released to earnings mostly during
2025 at the time when the related hedged transactions affect the income statement. During 2024,
nil (2023 nil) 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 2024, a gain of EUR 29 million (2023 EUR 19 million
gain) included in the cash flow hedges reserve in equity pertaining to changes in fair value of
foreign exchange forward and option contracts was released to income statement.
The total net fair value of hedges related to transaction exposure as of December 31, 2024, was an
unrealized loss of EUR 2 million. The estimated impact of a 10% increase of value of the EUR is
estimated to be EUR 122 million. The following table contains an overview of the instantaneous
10% increase in the value of EUR against major currencies.
Philips Group
Estimated impact of 10% increase of value of the EUR on the fair value of hedges in millions of EUR

USD | 64 | 63
JPY | 15 | 13
GBP | 16 | 13
CHF | 5 | 7
PLN | 1 | 1
RUB | - | 1

The EUR 122 million increase includes a gain of EUR 34 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 88 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 positive EUR 768 million mainly
relates to the development of the USD versus the EUR. As of December 31, 2024, a weakening of
USD by 10% versus the EUR would result in a decrease in the currency translation reserve in equity
of approximately EUR 1,275 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 1,558
million. Refer to the country risk paragraph for countries with significant foreign currency
denominated equity invested.

As of December 31, 2024, external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 1,466 million (liability
at book value: EUR 1,408 million) was designated as a net investment hedge of financing
investments in foreign operations for an equal amount. During 2024, no ineffectiveness was
recognized in the income statement on net investment hedges arising from counterparty and own
credit risk.
As of December 31, 2024, an instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all
currencies would lead to an decrease of EUR 106 million in the value of the derivatives, including a
EUR 50 million decrease related to the USD.
As of December 31, 2023, external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 1,474 million (liability
at book value: EUR 1,325 million) were designated as a net investment hedge of financing
investments in foreign operations for an equal amount. During 2023 a total loss of EUR 2 million
was recognized in the income statement as ineffectiveness on net investment hedges, arising from
counterparty and own credit risk.
As of December 31, 2023, an instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all
currencies would lead to an decrease of EUR 52 million in the value of the derivatives, including a
EUR 11 million increase related to the USD.
Generally Philips does not 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. As of December 31, 2024, Philips had
outstanding debt of EUR 7,639 million (2023: EUR 7,689 million), which constitutes an inherent
interest rate risk with potential negative impact on financial results. As of December 31, 2024,
Philips held EUR 2,401 million in cash and cash equivalents (2023: EUR 1,869 million), and had total
long-term debt of EUR 7,113 million (2023: EUR 7,035 million) and total short-term debt of EUR
526 million (2023: EUR 654 million). As of December 31, 2024, Philips had a ratio of fixed-rate
long-term debt to total outstanding debt of approximately 93% compared to 89% one year
earlier. Philips debt has a long maturity profile with an average tenor of long-term debt of 5.9 years
with maturities up to 2042.
The following table provides the impact of a 1% increase/decrease of interest rates on the fair
value of the debt and the annualized net interest expenses.

1 The sensitivity analysis conducted shows that if long-term interest rates were to increase/decrease
instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2024, with all other variables (including foreign
exchange rates) held constant.
2 Fixed-rate long-term debt is excluding forward contracts.
3 The impact is based on the outstanding net floating-rate position as of December 31, 2024.
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 4 million as of December 31, 2024 (2023: EUR 14
million). Philips does not hold derivatives in the above-mentioned listed companies. Philips also has
shareholdings in several privately-owned companies amounting to EUR 220 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, 2024 Philips had financial
commodity derivatives outstanding to the value of EUR 6 million (2023: nil).
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-

| 154 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 following table 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,
2024.
Philips Group

A- rated bank counterparties | 2 | 2 |
Total | 6 | 10 |

For an overview of the overall maximum credit exposure related to debt instruments, derivatives
and loans and receivables, 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 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, 2024, the company had country risk exposure of EUR 13.6 billion in the United
States, EUR 2.3 billion in the Netherlands, EUR 872 million in China (including Hong Kong). Other
countries higher than EUR 500 million are United Kingdom EUR 787 million, Japan EUR 635 million
and Germany EUR 625 million. Other countries with significant exposure are: Israel EUR 301
million, Singapore EUR 221 million, and India EUR 226 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 insured 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 million to EUR 10 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 2024 retained EUR 25 million per claim and EUR 50 million in the annual aggregate
for general, product, professional liability, and marine cargo claims and EUR 15 million aggregate
for cyber.
New contracts were signed effective December 31, 2024, for the coming year, whereby the re-
insurance captive retention remained the same.
30 Subsequent events
On January 28, 2025, Philips announced that it has signed an agreement to sell its Emergency Care
Business Unit, which is part of the Connected Care segment, to Bridgefield Capital. The transaction
is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and receipt of regulatory approval, and is
expected to be completed in the second half of 2025.

New external financing in long-term debt mainly relates to the issuance of nominal EUR 700 million
bond due in 2032 under the EMTN program, partially offset by the redemption of EUR 346 million
EUR bonds due in 2025. Other external payments relate to a loan repayment of EUR 200 million
and the settlement of forward contracts with a nominal value of EUR 313 million. The remaining
balance of forward contracts relates to the long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans.

369 million) have also been given on behalf of other group companies. Bank guarantees totaling
EUR 339 million (2023: nil) have been secured for insurance companies to cover product liability
related cash flows related to the Respironics recall.
The company is the head of a fiscal unity that contains the most significant Dutch wholly-owned
group companies. The company is therefore jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the
tax entity as a whole.

8.2 General basis for preparation
Basis for preparation
Although the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has not been
transposed and implemented in Dutch law on the date of this Annual Report, Royal Philips has
prepared the accompanying sustainability statement in accordance with the European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS) as adopted by the European Commission. The sustainability statement
also meets the specifications adopted pursuant to Article 8(4) of the Taxonomy Regulation
(Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council).
The sustainability statement consists of chapter 8 Sustainability statement and the information
incorporated by reference as presented in ESRS cross-reference table.
Consolidation
The sustainability statement has been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the same scope of
consolidation as applied in our group financial statements, which is based on the financial control
approach. Therefore it includes ESG information of Royal Philips and its subsidiaries. The
sustainability statement also includes value chain information relating to Philips' direct and indirect
business relationships (downstream and upstream) through which the company has impact and
where identified risks and opportunities are potentially material. Where applicable, this is disclosed
in the relevant section of the material topic. The selected consolidated financial information in the
sustainability statement has been derived from the group financial statements, which are prepare d
in accordance with IFRS. Based on stakeholder engagement and impact assessments of our value
chain, we have identified the material topics, determined their relative impact in the value chain
(downstream, our own operations, upstream) and reported for each topic on the relevant parts of
the value chain. More details are provided in the relevant sections in the sustainability statement.
Philips has not used the option to omit a specific piece of information corresponding to intellectual
property, know-how or the results of innovation. Philips also did not use the exemption from
disclosure of subsidiaries provided for in articles 19a (3) and 29a (3) of Directive 2013/34/EU.
Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances
Time horizons
Short-, medium-, and long-term time horizons are defined in ESRS 1, meaning one year or less, one
to five years, and over five years, respectively. Philips used different time horizons for its Climate
Resilience Assessment. Please refer to Climate change for more details.
Value Chain estimation
Where applicable, we include information from our upstream and/or downstream data as part of
our metrics. We use primary data from our suppliers when available. When value chain information
cannot be measured directly and can only be estimated, measurement uncertainty may exist.
Sources of estimation and outcome uncertainty
We used expert opinions, estimates and proxies for some parts of the metrics calculations and
some data points, which are disclosed in the relevant methodology sections. When metrics are
subject to a high level of measurement uncertainty, the source is disclosed, including the estimates,
assumptions and judgments applied. We regularly reassess our use of these expert opinions,
estimates and proxies based on, for example, the availability of new data, experience, new
standards and methodologies, and the availability and quality of value chain information. There is
therefore an inherent uncertainty in our calculations, for example, lives improved, Environmental
Profit & Loss statement, and Scope 3 carbon emissions calculations. In these cases the figures
reported are Philips’ best estimate. As our insight increases, or higher-quality sources become
available, we may enhance the methodology in the future.
Changes in preparation or presentation of sustainability information
In the current year, Philips has changed the preparation of the sustainability statement to be in
accordance with ESRS. The sustainability information that was included in our Annual Report 2023
was prepared by Philips using the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards supplemented by Philips’
own criteria. Comparative figures in this year’s sustainability statement have the same definitions
and scopes which were applied in the prior year, unless stated otherwise. In case of material
changes in the preparation and presentation of individual metrics and disclosures, we disclose the
nature of these changes, the new information provided, including the difference between the
previously reported metric and the revised metric and revised comparative figures (if possible).
When it is not possible to report revised comparative information, this will be disclosed.
Subsequent events
On January 28, 2025, Philips announced that it has signed an agreement to sell its Emergency Care
business unit to Bridgefield Capital, which is part of the Connected Care segment. The transaction
is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and receipt of regulatory approval, and is
expected to be completed in the second half of 2025. Sustainability information related to
Emergency Care business unit is included in the sustainability statement 2024 and after completion
of the transaction this information will be excluded from our future sustainability reporting.
Reporting errors in prior periods
Adjustments of our sustainability statement may or may not follow an adjustment or restatement
of our Group financial statements (if any), and will be based on our judgment as to whether we
should restate information, considering materiality. We clearly disclose where we have restated any
information, including the nature of the correction.
Philips did not identify material misstatements related to sustainability information in prior reporting
periods.

Incorporation by reference
Philips applied the option to incorporate content in this sustainability statement by reference, as
defined in ESRS 1. By doing so, we aim to enhance the readability of the sustainability statement
and provide the relevant context.
We included links to external websites for information purpose only; these links are not
incorporated by reference into the sustainability statement as information addressing the relevant
ESRS disclosure requirements are presented in the sustainability statement itself.
8.2.1 Tracking trends
We follow external trends and upcoming legislation to determine the issues most relevant for our
company and where we can make a positive contribution to society at large. In addition to our own
research and stakeholder engagement, we make use of a variety of sources, including the United
Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), World Bank, World Economic Forum (WEF),
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and ISSB, EFRAG, World Health Organization, the
World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and various rating agencies and
analyst reports. Our work also involves tracking topics of concern to governments, non-
governmental organizations (NGOs), regulatory bodies, academia, and following the resulting
media coverage.
8.2.2 ESG governance, strategy and policies
ESG is embedded in our core business processes, such as innovation (EcoDesign), sourcing (Supplier
Sustainability Program), manufacturing (Sustainable Operations), logistics (Green Logistics), and in
programs such as our Circular Economy program.
Statement on due diligence
Philips incorporates due diligence in various parts of its operating model. An overview of the core
elements of due diligence is given in the next table :

Material impacts, risks, and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business
model
Philips conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) in 2024 to identify material topics, the
related impacts risks and opportunities, and the subsequent reporting scope. Details can be found
in Double Materiality Assessment and Material topics and our focus.
Policies
Policies adopted to manage material sustainability matters
Philips policies relating to the material topics identified through the DMA process can be found in
the Policy Overview. More details on these policies can be found in the topical sections in the
sustainability statement.

Actions and resources relating to the material topics can be found in the topical sections in the
sustainability statement.
8.2.3 External assurance
EY Accountants B.V. (EY) has issued an assurance report on the information included in our
sustainability statement. Refer to Independent auditor’s assurance report on the ESG information
and the EU Taxonomy information . Also refer to ESRS cross-reference table where we specify level
of assurance provided by EY. All datapoints in the ESRS cross-reference table are subject to limited
assurance. In addition, the sustainability information on which EY provided reasonable assurance in
prior year has been included in the FY2024 reasonable assurance scope. In 2023, the sustainability
information was prepared by Philips using the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards supplemented
by Philips' own criteria. Comparative figures of the prior year have the same definitions and scopes,
which are applied in the current year unless otherwise stated.
Where the measurement of a metric has been validated by an external organization other than EY,
this is clearly indicated in the relevant section.
8.3 Double Materiality Assessment
We have conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to determine the scope of
sustainability reporting requirements applicable to us, pursuant to the EU Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the related European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This
is the third DMA we conducted. We have built years of experience conducting impact materiality
assessments in line with the GRI requirements and consider it a multi-stakeholder process. Please
refer to Working with stakeholders and advocacy.
The DMA addresses both financial materiality (the impact of society on Philips) as well as impact
materiality (the impact of Philips on society). We believe that the ESG topics we identified, have the
greatest impact on our business and the greatest level of concern to stakeholders along our value
chain, for instance patient safety and quality.
Taking our 2023 DMA as a starting point, we used an evidence-based approach to this year’s DMA,
powered by a third-party AI-based application. This application has been updated in 2024 to address the
DMA requirements under the CSRD, and now includes data from our supply chain partners and industry
peers, as well as customers. We included, for example, data from 21 key suppliers, 37 customers of our
Businesses, 32 peer companies and 72 countries. The application allows automated sifting and analysis
of millions of data points from publicly available sources, including corporate reports, mandatory
regulations and voluntary initiatives, as well as news. Combining all input, we first created a long list of
sustainability topics based on the outcome of this assessment and analyzed the number of occurrences
in the AI tool. We narrowed down this list based on workshops with internal subject matter experts.
From the original list, 32 of the most relevant topics were retained for the short-list of sustainability
topics and mapped against the company’s value chain. These topics were clustered to avoid overlaps. As
part of the process, we defined and assessed Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IROs, as referred to by
the ESRS) with respect to the identified topics connected to our strategy and business model. Subject
matter experts assessed the materiality of negative impacts based on scale, scope and any irremediable
character. The materiality of positive impacts was assessed based on scale and scope. As such, positive
and negative impacts have been assessed, where most impacts were also assessed to be ‘actual’ rather
than ‘potential’. Materiality thresholds used in the DMA have primarily a qualitative nature and are
quantitative where possible. For risks and opportunities, we assessed the dependencies on natural,
human and social resources. The materiality of risks and opportunities is assessed based on a
combination of the likelihood of occurrence and the potential magnitude of the financial effects.
Subsequently, we created a validation survey, which was sent to more than 300 internal and external
stakeholders. We received 117 responses from a representative stakeholder group.

We calibrated the financial and impact materiality of the 20 topics (clustered from 32 topics) with the CSRD Steering Committee, a team of internal experts from Enterprise Risk Management, Group Control,
Internal Audit, Legal, Insurance and Risk Management, People Function, and Sustainability and aligned them with our Enterprise Risk Management assessment.

Results
As a result of the DMA, three topical standards, water, pollution, and biodiversity, were deemed
not material for our strategy and business model, which is also supported by the outcome of our
EP&L, the Climate Resilience report, and the TNFD report. The latter includes the process of how
Philips assessed IROs, specifically related to pollution, water, and biodiversity for own sites and
business activities. Next, three sub-topics from ESRS S1 were assessed to be not material to Philips:
child labor, forced labor and adequate housing. Philips did not explicitly consult with affected
communities as we deemed our current stakeholder consultation process to be sufficient.
The results were calibrated and approved by our Board of Management and the other Executive
Committee members, followed by the Supervisory Board.
During the calibration sessions, the financial materiality of most of the Environmental topics
increased compared with the initial assessment. On the Social topics, the financial impact of Human
rights increased the most, followed by Fair & inclusive workplace. Product responsibility & safety,
Geopolitical events, Big data, AI and cybersecurity, and Business ethics & general business principles
were assessed to have the highest financial materiality, similar to 2023.
Overall, the impact materiality of the resulting topics did not change significantly compared to the
2023 DMA.
Philips has not identified any actual material risks and opportunities meaning that the risks and
opportunities identified as an outcome of Philips' DMA process do not have any current financial
effects on Philips' financial position, cash flows, and carrying value of assets and liabilities reported
in the financial statements within the next annual reporting period.
The material topics are monitored regularly. The 2024 DMA also serves as input for the
development of our 2030 ESG program. Assessing these material topics enables us to prioritize and
address these in our policies, programs, targets and actions, and address the material impacts, risks,
and opportunities with full consideration of the interests of the key stakeholders, such as end-users.
Material topics
For 2024, Philips reports on topical standards ESRS E1 (climate change), E5 (resource use and the
circular economy), S1 (own workforce), S2 (workers in the value chain), S4 (consumer and end-
users), and G1 (business conduct). Philips also reports on a number of company-specific topics,
such as product responsibility, product safety, big data, AI and cybersecurity. The accompanying
table provides an overview of the material topics, policies, and metrics, along with the applicability
in our value chain.

8.4 Environmental information
Note I Climate change
Climate change has been a material topic for Philips for many years, and the Double Materiality
Assessment (DMA) performed in 2024 re-confirmed this. It has also been a part of senior
management remuneration as further explained in Remuneration report 2024. Building on our
success in achieving carbon neutrality in 2020, this chapter details how Philips aligns its climate
actions with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and European Sustainability Reporting
Standards (ESRS). We will set out Philips’ policy, targets and metrics, material climate-related risks
and opportunities as well as actions and resources allocated to the transition.
Please note that Philips is not excluded from any EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks as we do not meet
any of the exclusion criteria stated in Article 12.1 (d) to (g) of Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2020/1818.
Policies, metrics and targets
In this section, Philips’ Environmental policy, Science Based Targets and climate action scope will be
further explored. For a more detailed overview of this please refer to the Climate Resilience report .
Philips’ Policy and targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation
Our Climate Action targets are in line with our Environmental Policy, aiming to reduce our full value
chain emissions and building Philips’ adaptive capacity. These targets therefore also help to address
the impacts, risks and opportunities related to climate change.
Philips set its first science-based emission reduction targets back in 2017 for its Scope 1 & 2
(market-based) emissions, officially approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2022,
Philips has stepped-up and introduced new Science Based Targets, covering Scope 1, 2 and 3
emissions (approximately 96% of our value chain emissions). We are therefore committed to
collaborating with suppliers and customers to amplify our impact and reduce our footprint across
the value chain.
Our Scope 3 target includes the following Greenhouse Gas Protocol categories:
• Category 1: Purchased goods and services
• Category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution
• Category 6: Business travel
• Category 4: Downstream transportation and distribution
• Category 11: Use of sold products
All other Scope 3 emission categories are excluded from our inventory after a thorough assessment
of their relevance and materiality in line with the GHG Protocol and CDP reporting requirements.
Capital goods (Category 2), fuel- and energy-related activities (Category 3), waste generated in
operations (Category 5), employee commuting (Category 7), and end-of-life treatment of sold
products (Category 12) are all considered immaterial due to size. Additionally, upstream/
downstream leased assets (Category 8 and 13), processing of sold products (Category 10),
franchises (Category 14), and investments (Category 15) are not applicable to Philips'. This
approach is consistent with the best practice of focusing on material categories that have the most
impact on emissions reductions and ensures the accuracy and credibility of the disclosed inventory.
For all of our SBTi-approved and 1.5 °C-aligned targets, baselines and performance, please refer to
the following table. These targets follow the cross-sector guidance of the SBTi and take into
consideration future developments such as changes in sales volumes, shifts in customer preferences
and demand, regulatory factors, and advancements in technology.
Please note that we have also committed to Net Zero via SBTi and are in the process of formalizing
this target, including the target year.
Philips Group
Science Based Targets reduction % compared to baseline

|  | Scope coverage | 2025 | 2030 | 2040
Absolute Contraction Approach (ACA) emission reduction targets | Scope 1 & 2 (Baseline 2015) | 100% | -75% |  | -90%
Scope 3 (Baseline 2020) | 95% |  | -42% |

In accordance with the SBTi guidance, our site specific direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2)
emissions fall under the same target. During our baseline year, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions were
divided as follows: 26% Scope 1 emissions and 74% Scope 2 (market-based) emissions. In 2024,
89% of our target consisted of Scope 1 emissions and 11% consisted of Scope 2 (market-based)
emissions. We have therefore decarbonized our Scope 2 emissions at a faster rate compared with
Scope 1.
All our consolidated subsidiaries contribute to our Science Based Targets at Group level listed
above. We do not have material subsidiaries that are not fully consolidated and that would
therefore require separate targets.
In establishing our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions baseline, the selection of the base year was
guided by several considerations. More precisely, it was driven by historical data availability, the
stability of operations during that period, and the desire to capture a representative snapshot of
our emissions profile. In particular, we considered factors such as significant changes in business
operations, facility expansions, or the implementation of emission reduction initiatives.

Despite the unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the baseline
year 2020 for Scope 3 stands out as a significant year for Philips, marked by a level of relative
stability in both customer base and emissions profile. In contrast, the year 2015 was selected as the
baseline for Scope 1 and 2 emissions because it was the earliest feasible date for measurement and
target-setting in alignment with the Paris Agreement. Should enhancements in data quality or
methodological changes lead to an emission deviation exceeding 5% compared with our current
baseline emissions, we intend to restate the baseline in accordance with the Science Based Targets
initiative.
Actions associated with climate change
In this section Philips’ 2024 performance will be further described. This includes an analysis of our
energy performance, gross Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, investments linked to carbon credits and
internal carbon pricing mechanisms. This section will therefore provide further clarification on our
2024 performance.
Philips’ energy consumption and mix
In 2024 our total energy demand has slightly increased by 2% compared to 2023. This was
primarily due to an increased consumption of electricity and purchased heating, cooling and steam
which can be linked to employees going to the office more frequently. Most notably the amount of
self generated non-fuel renewable energy has increased by 45% compared to 2023 highlighting
our commitment to expand the share of on site renewables.
As such we are making good progress in transitioning to renewable energy, increasing the share to
80% in 2024. We have therefore achieved our 2025 ambition of sourcing 75% of our energy from
renewable sources. This is largely driven by multiple Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) securing
the supply of renewable electricity. Prior to 2023, these included the Los Mirasoles wind farm in the
US and the Krammer and Bouwdokken wind farms in the Dutch province of Zeeland. To further
secure the long-term delivery and quality of renewable electricity for all our operations in Europe,
we increased our portfolio in 2023 and 2024 with a wind farm in Mutkalampi, Finland and a solar
farm in Pontinia, Italy. In December 2023, we also closed our first direct renewable energy deal in
China followed by a second one in December of 2024. For all remaining electricity demand, we
acquire unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). Details regarding the attributes per country
are available through RE100.
EACs play a pivotal role in achieving our renewable energy target, aligning with the
recommendations of RE100. These instruments serve as strategic tools in our commitment to
sustainability and environmental responsibility. By investing in renewable energy projects through
the purchase of EACs, we not only contribute to the growth of the clean energy sector, but also
directly limit our carbon footprint associated with electricity consumption. For more information on
our renewable energy strategy please refer to the renewable energy methodology.

Our total energy efficiency slightly declined by 2%, from 25.18 MWh/million EUR sales in 2023 to
25.78 MWh/million EUR sales in 2024. As noted, this is primarily due to increase office attendance.
No capital expenditures have been made related to coal, oil or gas-related economic activities.
There have also not been any site-related investments in 2024 with significant locked-in GHG
emissions that might impede our renewable energy and/or emission-related targets. On the
contrary, by signing new long-term Power Purchase Agreements, we have been able to secure the
delivery of renewable energy for the future.
Philips’ gross Scope 1, 2, 3 and Total GHG emissions
We report on our full value chain emissions covering approximately 96% of our Scope 1, 2 and 3
emissions. Compared to 2023 we have not made any changes to this reporting scope ensuring
comparability. The main adjustment compared with the previous year has been the splitting of
upstream transportation and distribution from downstream transportation and distribution. This is
further explained in Scope 3, Category 4 & 9 - Transportation and Distribution.
Overall, we are well underway to achieving our Science Based Targets. We have reduced our Scope
1 and 2 emissions by 85% meaning that for the achievement of our long-term 2040 target we will
only have to reduce our emissions by 7 kilotonnes CO 2-e. Additionally, we have reduced our Scope
3 emissions by 12% meaning that in the remaining 6 years we will only have to reduce emissions
by 110 kilotonnes CO 2-e. This excludes the use of any carbon credits (e.g., removal or reduction
projects).

Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions
At our sites, we reduced our Scope 1 (direct) CO 2-e emissions by 10% and increased our Scope 2
(market-based approach) CO 2-e emissions by 1% compared to 2023. Scope 1 emissions include the
emissions from direct fuel consumption and refrigerant use, while Scope 2 (market-based)
emissions cover non-rene wable electricity and purchased (city/district) heating, cooling, and steam.
In line with our environmental policy, we are actively implementing energy efficiency measures,
phasing out fossil fuels, and procuring renewable electricity to meet our Science Based Targets for
Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions in line with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
This commitment is further underscored by our pursuit of ISO 50001 certification for our
manufacturing sites, enabling a systematic approach to continuous energy management
improvements. For more information on our energy performance please refer to Philips’ energy
consumption and mix.
Although we have already achieved our 2025 SBTi targets, we are committed to accelerating our
Scope 1 and 2 decarbonization efforts by reducing overall energy consumption and sourcing
alternative renewable energy solutions. This ensures we remain on track to meet our long-term
2040 Science Based Target.
As part of our reporting obligations, we are also committed to disclosing emissions per greenhouse
gas type, where available. We do this for our Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions as these are
under our direct operational control. Knowing which greenhouse gases contribute the most to our
footprint allows us to scrutinize the underlying processes and if needed take corrective actions.
In accordance with international reporting requirements, emissions from each of the gases are
weighted by their Global Warming Potential (GWP), so that total Greenhouse Gas emissions can be
reported on a consistent basis. For an overview of the respective GWPs per fuel please refer to
Philips’ Emission calculation methodologies.

Scope 3, Category 1 - Purchased Goods and Services
Our emissions from purchased goods and services were 1,396 kilotonnes CO 2 -e in 2024. This is a
reduction of 19% compared to the 2020 baseline and a 8% reduction compared to 2023. The
main reason for this reduction is the reduced sales volume of Philips in 2024 vs 2023 and the shift
in our product portfolio reducing the per unit purchased goods emissions.
To further reduce these emissions towards our 2030 SBTi target and Net Zero commitment, we are
driving action through our Circular Economy and EcoDesign programs, applying the principles ’use
less, use longer and use again’. For more information on our actions associated with the Circular
Economy program please refer to Resource use and circular economy. For more information on
how we are planning to decarbonize our purchased goods and service emissions in the future
please refer to Philips’ transition plan.
We also announced at COP26 our plan to step up our acclaimed Supplier Sustainability program
with the goal of having at least 50% of our suppliers (based on spend) committing to Science
Based Targets for CO 2-e emissions reduction by 2025. This will help amplify our impact reducing
emissions across the supply chain. For more information please refer to Supplier sustainability &
Workers in the value chain.
Scope 3, Category 4 & 9 - Transportation and Distribution
In 2024, we split our upstream transportation and distribution emissions from our downstream
transportation and distribution. This adds a level of granularity to our report that we were not able
to provide in previous years. To ensu re comparability across the years we have decided to use the
same proportionate split between upstream and downstream for all historic years up to our
baseline year 2020. This change has therefore not impacted our total value chain emissions but
merely added more granularity.
Overall, we recorded an increase of 11% in our emissions from our Transportation and Distribution
compared to 2023. The reason for this increase is primarily driven by the updated BEIS emission
factors that have increased by 20% compared to our 2023 emission factors (for long haul flights).
This is a variable that we are not able to influence and therefore out of our control. Looking at the
variables we are able to influence, we have successfully reduced our total number of air freight
shipments by 2% which has mitigated the increase in emission factors.
This reduction in air freight shipments can be associated with several business specific projects.
These among others include the Magnet by Ocean project, where we shifted several up- and
downstream lanes from air freight to ocean freight, and the shipment consolidation project, where
we group multiple shipments in one to reduce the total number of shipments. It is also important
to note that Philips was the first healthcare company to sign the coZEV ambition statement for
Sustainable Maritime Freight Shipping. This will support our efforts in accelerating maritime
decarbonization.

Scope 3, Category 6 - Business Travel
Our business travel emissions increased by 27% compared to 2023. This is mainly due to the
restructuring at Philips that required increased travel to allow for an optimal transition. The post-
pandemic increase in travel was also driven by a need to align with customers which further
contributed to the increased emissions. Moving forward, we continue to electrify our lease fleet
and promote online collaboration, as well as increase our efforts to move travelers to rail transport
for shorter distances. With tightened travel budgets in 2025, we aim to curb the growth of travel
emissions.

Scope 3, Category 11 - Use of sold products
In 2024, our emissions related to the use of sold products were 2,529 kilotonnes CO 2-e, a
reduction of 51% compared to our baseline in 2020 and an 18% reduction compared to 2023.
The reduction in use-phase emissions can mainly be explained through reduced sales volume of
energy-intensive products, and changes in the sales mix towards more energy efficient products.
To reduce the impact of our sold products we are implementing energy efficiency measures for our
existing and future installed base. This is closely tied to our EcoDesign commitment of having all
new product introductions EcoDesigned by 2025. This is further explored under EcoDesign.
We are also involved in novel partnerships with our customers to ensure reduced energy
consumption and increased renewable energy usage of our devices. For more information on our
partnerships please refer to Advocacy activities and expenses.
Philips’ GHG removals and GHG mitigation projects financed through carbon credits
Although reduction is key to achieving carbon neutrality, unavoidable carbon emissions require
compensation. This is achieved by the cancellation of acquired carbon credits. In 2024, we offset a
total of 474 kilotonnes CO 2-e, equivalent to the annual uptake of approximately 14.2 million
medium-sized oak trees. To plant all these trees an area of 512 million m 2 would be required,
equivalent to 9 times the area of Manhattan. This covers our operational carbon footprint, which
includes all CO 2-e emissions from our sites, business travel, and transportation and distribution. We
thereby address climate change outside our own value chain and contribute to the reduction of
global CO 2-e emissions that we cannot eliminate along our own value chain. These activities
complement our existing climate strategy and are excluded from our Science Based Targets for
emission reductions. Thus, ensuring that these investments do not impede the achievement of our
carbon reduction targets.
Philips not only offsets its operational carbon footprint by funding impactful social and
environmental projects but is also proactively exploring innovative approaches to directly reduce
carbon emissions in its value chain, particularly for unavoidable transport-related emissions.
Although we did not use any biofuels in 2024, we do believe this is a potential lever that can help
us reduce our carbon footprint in the future. For future reference we only accept biofuels from
wastes, residues and by-products as feedstocks with preference for REDII Annex IX feedstocks for
advanced biofuels. This strategic move not only resulted in a modest reduction of emissions, but
also aligns with our commitment to nature-based solutions.

future cancellation is a high-level estimate and is subject to change depending on our operational
carbon footprint in 2025.

We finance projects in emerging regions that have a strong link with UN Sustainable Development
Goals 3 and 12. To ensure these offsets meet our high-quality standard of additionality,
permanence and avoidance of double counting, Philips only procures carbon credits from carbon
standards that are endorsed by ICROA, such as VCS Standard and Gold Standard. Each program is
also verified by an independent third party. We ensure, through our providers, that the quality
criteria of additionality, permanence and avoidance of double counting are met. In addition, Philips
has conducted site visits to some of the projects in our portfolio. None of our credits as of now are
subject to corresponding adjustment under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Philips will follow the
developments of Article 6 closely to understand if, and when, any of the projects might become
subject to corresponding adjustments. Please note that all removal credits are associated with
biogenic sinks and linked to activities outside Philips value chain.
All our carbon offsets drive social, economic and environmental progress in emerging markets. In
2024 we did not retire any carbon credits from removal projects. Our projects include:
Restoring ecosystems and empowering communities through tree planting
In Kenya, subsistence farmers are supported to plant and maintain trees on their land through the
International Small Group and Tree Planting Program (TIST). This carbon removal project enhances
biodiversity, improves soil fertility, and strengthens community resilience, providing co-benefits
beyond carbon sequestration. Farmers retain ownership of the trees and their products, receiving
training and a share of carbon revenues. As an Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation
(ARR) initiative, it is a nature-based solution contributing to the protection of a biogenic sink. To
ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the VCS standard with the CCB label.
Providing access to safe drinking water while reducing wood consumption
This carbon-emission reduction project is expected to provide millions of liters of safe drinking
water in Uganda and 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. As such, this contributes to the protection of a biogenic sink. To ensure quality,
all offsets are verified under the Gold Standard.
Protecting forests through sustainable production
Deforestation is expected to be reduced through promotion of sustainable businesses to protect
the forest. Unsustainable harvest of fuelwood is reduced, thereby contributing to the protection of
a biogenic sink. The forest supports the supply of water to other parts of Ethiopia and neighboring
countries. It is also the habitat of diverse and, in some cases, rare species. To ensure quality, all
offsets are verified under the VCS standard.
Increasing employment through provision of sustainable energy
In India, the energy supply gap is reduced by providing access to clean energy and related
employment through wind generation. This is therefore considered a technological solution that
also enables an improvement in livelihoods. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the VCS
standard.
Improving respiratory health and reducing deforestation through provision of clean
cookstoves
By supporting a range of cookstove technologies across Ghana and Kenya, the projects improve
respiratory health, reduce fuel costs and reduce deforestation. As such, this project contributes to
the protection of a biogenic sink. This also gives people more time for paid work, thus improving
prospects. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the Gold Standard.
Philips’ internal carbon pricing
At Philips, we apply an internal carbon shadow discount price for our IT, Real Estate, Businesses and
R&D investments. If an investment may support our climate targets by reducing CO 2-e emissions,
the relevant Function and/or Business is encouraged to apply EUR 150 discount per saved tonne
CO 2-e. This enables all Functions and Businesses to incorporate climate impacts in their business
case development. Furthermore, by using a discount we proactively incentivize the pursuit of
sustainable projects, rather than imposing penalties on unsustainable investments. The scope spans
all Philips operations and includes Scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as all the material Scope 3
categories. There are no geographic or business-specific boundaries. This therefore covers 100% of
our Scope 1 & 2 targets and approximately 95% of our gross Scope 3 emissions (96% of overall
emissions).
The price of EUR 150 per metric ton CO 2-e is derived from the internationally recognized ReCiPe
methodology, in combination with the environmental pricing provided by CE Delft. The price is also
validated by an external body other than our assurance provider, namely KPMG and set in
alignment with our EP&L statement. The key assumption is that the price of carbon will increase in
the future. Therefore, to ensure price stability over the coming years, an uplift was applied to the
price of carbon, identified by CE Delft.
Please note that the internal carbon pricing is not considered in the financial statements as the
assumptions in the financial statements are based on (external) market assumptions.
Philips Group

Shadow discount price (CapEx, R&D, etc.) | 4,398,405 | 150 | All Philips employees are encouraged to leverage the internal carbon price of EUR 150 to include environmental factors in the decision making process

Impact, risk and opportunity management
The analysis of climate change related impacts, risks and opportunities is contingent on a multitude
of assumptions that are based on desk research, internal and external experts, trend analysis and
other resources. Conclusions are therefore merely indicative, and quantifications should be
considered estimates with considerable levels of uncertainty. For a full overview of our assumptions

please refer to the Climate Resilience report 2024 that can be found via our ESG download page.
Most importantly our definitions for the short-, medium-, and long-term diverge from our central
definition prescribed by the ESRS. This was done in consultation with other departments, to ensure
perpetual business continuity and acknowledge the fact that climate related risks and opportunities
generally materialize beyond a 5-year time horizon. It also accounts for the time horizons linked to
our commitments.

Philips transition plan for climate change mitigation
Together with our customers and suppliers, we aim to reduce our collective carbon footprint and
build a more sustainable and resilient healthcare industry, in line with a 1.5 degrees scenario (as
validated by SBTi). This aligns and is embedded in our business strategy as well as financial
planning. To achieve this, we focus on the following core objectives, prioritized by their potential
impact. Further details on underlying assumptions are available in our Climate Resilience report,
which has been approved by our administrative, management and supervisory bodies.
Designing energy-efficient products and collaborating with our customers to reduce
emissions during the use-phase
Since most of our climate impact occurs downstream during the use-phase of our products, we are
dedicated to designing energy-efficient solutions and supporting the transition to renewable energy
sources.
All new product introductions adhere to our EcoDesign requirements, where energy efficiency is a
key focus. This approach allows us to engineer a product portfolio optimized for energy
consumption during use, which not only reduces our environmental footprint but also helps our
customers lower their operational costs.
Moreover, the adoption of renewable energy by our customers, also supports our use phase
decarbonization by eliminating CO 2-e emissions during the energy generation. We therefore
actively support and encourage our customers in their transition to renewables (see Champalimaud
case). Our key assumption is that electrical grids will decarbonize in line with the International
Energy Agency’s (IEA) Stated Policy Scenario (SPS) or Announced Pledge Scenario (APS).
Based on preliminary estimates, we expect to reduce our use phase (GHGP category 11) carbon
footprint as follows:

Philips Group Expected use-phase emission reduction in kilotonnes CO 2-equivalent unless otherwise stated
| Current | Medium-term | Long-term
(Expected) emissions level | 2,529 | 2,797 – 2,330 | 1,590 – 98
Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 2,631 | 2,363 – 2,829 | 3,570 – 5,062
Percentage Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 51% | 46% - 55% | 69% - 98%

Minimizing our purchased goods emissions by adopting circular economy practices and
transitioning to sustainable alternatives
From a climate perspective, applying circular business models has the potential for significant
emission reductions. By retaining materials’ value, we reduce the need for virgin resources and the
energy required to produce them, resulting in lower emissions. This approach is led by our Circular
Economy team through the principles of ‘use less, use longer, and use again’, which also includes
our ambition of ‘closing the loop’.
Circular design is one of the key focal areas of EcoDesign, which includes for example design for
low weight, which reduces the need for material extraction and thereby contributes to emission
reductions. It also includes designing with sustainable materials (recycled, biobased, etc.), which
often require less energy to process, cutting down greenhouse gases in the sourcing and
manufacturing phase. For our Personal Health segment, for example, this includes replacing virgin
plastic packaging with paper-based alternatives or increasing the recycled content of the materials
we use.
Next, we focus on increasing circular practices at our sites and responsible waste management
according to the waste hierarchy. As such we actively monitor the waste management of our
industrial sites with the aim of retaining the value of materials. This is further explained in
Sustainable Operations.
Lastly, we initiated the process to focus on responsibly reusing products and parts at the end of
their use. Among other things, this includes refurbishment, and responsible takeback. By
recirculating products, parts and materials, we increase the market for used products and ensure
materials are longer in use. Altogether we believe that by applying our circularity principles, we will
be able to reduce our purchased goods emissions (GHGP category 1) by:

Collaborating with our suppliers to reduce emissions in our supply chain
There is a pressing need for industry and business to manage and reduce CO2-e emissions across
the entire value chain – including at supplier level. To this end, we have invited many of our largest
suppliers to report their climate performance and strategy as part of the Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP) Supply Chain program. Additionally, we engage with these suppliers to reduce their
emissions as part of our Supplier Sustainability program. By engaging with suppliers, encouraging
them to set Science Based targets and supporting their decarbonization efforts we believe we will
be able to amplify our impact. We acknowledge our dependency on suppliers’ decarbonization in
achieving our climate ambitions and will continue our focus on driving impact throughout the value
chain. To that end, we expect that by further engaging with our suppliers through our Supplier
Sustainability program we are able to reduce our purchased services emissions as follows (GHGP
category 1):

Philips Group Expected purchased services emission reduction in kilotonnes CO 2-equivalent unless otherwise stated
| Current | Medium-term | Long-term
(Expected) emissions level | 492 | 442 – 388 | 334 – 308
Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 44 | 95 – 149 | 203 – 229
Percentage Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 8% | 18% - 28% | 38% - 43%

Reducing emissions from logistics by optimizing our planning horizon
We are committed to minimizing the CO 2-e impact of our logistics operations by working closely
with our logistics partners and transportation providers. To this end, we have initiated
collaborations with our key logistics suppliers to transition to low-emission vehicle fleets, increase
fuel efficiency, and optimize route planning. We actively engage with all partners (both internal and
external) through our Sustainable Logistics program, which aims to identify further opportunities
for emission reductions, including alternative fuel options and innovative, lower-emission transport
modes. Key decarbonization levers are correspondingly: reducing the need for shipments, shifting
air to ocean, reducing shipment chargeable weight in line with our EcoDesign strategy and
transitioning to alternative fuels (e.g. electric or biofuel). To that end we expect to reduce our
logistic emissions (GHGP categories 4 and 9) as follows:

Philips Group Expected upstream and downstream logistics emissions reduction in kilotonnes CO 2-equivalent unless otherwise stated
| Current | Medium-term | Long-term
(Expected) emissions level | 338 | 275 – 200 | 239 – 67
Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 77 | 140 – 215 | 176 – 348
Percentage Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 18% | 34% - 52% | 42% - 84%

Transitioning to lower carbon-emitting energy at our sites
By continuing to phase-out fossil fuels at our sites and increase our global renewable energy share,
we will be able to achieve our long-term emission targets (GHGP Scope 1 and 2). The main lever to
transition to lower carbon-emitting energy at our sites is by reducing our natural gas consumption.
We are aiming to significantly reduce our natural gas consumption by for example moving towards
geothermal and renewable district heating and cooling solutions as well as exploring the option of
switching towards biofuels. As such we expect to decarbonize our sites as follows:

Philips Group Expected Scope 1 and 2 emission reduction in kilotonnes CO 2-equivalent unless otherwise stated
| Current | Medium-term | Long-term
(Expected) emissions level | 20 | 19 – 13 | 13 – 1
Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 124 | 116 – 121 | 121 – 134
Percentage Reduction compared to 2020 baseline | 84% | 86% - 90% | 90% - 99%

Philips Group
Climate Transition plan
2024
Emission reductions are linked to performance bonuses through for example the Long-term
Incentive (LTI) program. As mentioned previously we have also included carbon pricing as standard
measure in our corporate saving and investment tooling highlighting our climate change
governance and embeddedness.
Material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities
Philips recognizes the importance of identifying, assessing and mitigating climate-related risks to
ensure business continuity and resilience. We publish the annual Climate Resilience report (formerly
TCFD report) to provide the information needed by investors, lenders, insurance underwriters and

| 192 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

other stakeholders to appropriately assess and price climate-related risks and opportunities. Please
see the visual below for an indication of Philips’ climate-related risks and opportunities.
Philips Group
Climate risks and opportunities
2024
For the physical risk (including both climate and nature related risks) assessment, a range of Philips
sites are evaluated over short-, medium-, and long-term and the expected impact on them due to
acute and chronic physical risks. This is done using a high global warming scenario with expected
average temperature increase of above 4 degrees Celsius (RCP8.5 – SSP5). Transition risks on the
other hand are globally assessed across the short-, medium-, and long-term, encompassing both
upstream and downstream activities and their potential impact. This done using a low global
warming scenario in line with the Paris ambition of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees
Celsius (RCP1.9 – SSP1, IEA APS, IEA SPS).
The assessment of each risk is conducted by a multi-disciplinary team, consisting of members of
Philips Group Sustainability, Business Continuity Management, Real Estate, Enterprise Risk
Management, Insurance & Risk Management, Innovation & Strategy, Health and Safety and Group
control. By embedding this risk assessment in existing processes and frameworks we have ensured
alignment with the company’s strategy and financial plans.
All Climate-related risks are a result of the DMA and maintained as part of the common risk view
and considered in the Philips Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework. As such Philips
Executive Committee identifies, oversees, and manages the climate-related risks Philips faces in
executing its strategy and its objectives. A Risk Management Support Team together with Philips
Group Sustainability, consisting of several functional experts covering the various categories of
enterprise risks, supports the Executive Committee through regular analysis of the climate-related
risk- and opportunity profiles. Where needed assets and business activities at risk are addressed
through climate mitigation or adaptation actions.
To evaluate enterprise-wide risks (including climate risks), these are cascaded to the relevant target
of evaluation, which are then expected to identify Philips risk exposure utilizing the Risk Assessment
Number (RAN). This standardized metric, spanning from 1 to 125, allows all relevant stakeholders
to uniformly compare diverse risks, irrespective of their varying risk drivers. The RAN is defined
through three distinct variables. Namely, the likelihood of the risk materializing, the impact of the
risk considering no control measures and lastly the control effectiveness of existing controls. Each
of these variables are rated on a Likert scale from 1 to 5 by relevant subject matter experts.
Physical Risk Assessment
We assess physical risks through objective definition, risk exposure identification, vulnerability
calculation, and impact analysis. The result of the risk assessment will constitute the basis for
Philips’ adaptation actions. For more information on the underlying process and tooling used please
refer to the Climate Resilience report that is available via the ESG download page. This risk
assessment is limited to 24 of our sites that are considered critical for our business continuity.
Critical suppliers have also been screened as part of the hot spot analysis but not yet integrated in
our risk process. The following risks are assessed: drought, heat stress, wildfire, precipitation, river
flood, tropical cyclones, cold stress, sea level rise and chronic risks.
To evaluate Philips’ exposure to physical climate risks a two-step approach was employed. First, a
hotspot analysis was conducted using the NATHAN tool to identify the expected future likelihood
of risks becoming material. This initial analysis was enriched through site specific insights gathered
through a workshop for relevant risks per site. This workshop engaged experts from Business
Continuity Management, Plant Management, and Environmental and Financial Management for
each in-scope site. These experts collaborated to assess the potential impact and the effectiveness
of existing controls under a hypothetical worst-case scenario.
This comprehensive assessment enabled us to quantitatively assess each site’s exposure to climate
related perils. The resulting risk scores were aggregated at the company level.

From an acute perspective results show that three sites require particular attention, namely Best,
Reedsville and Pune. The site of Best (Netherlands, NUTS code: NL414) and Reedsville (US) face
high-level risks across all time scales, primarily due to cold stress. According to NATHAN analysis,
this risk is expected to decrease significantly in the future. The site of Pune (India) is projected to
face high-level physical risks in the medium and long-term. Its exposure to precipitation and heat
stress is expected to increase, alongside the consistently high risk of fire weather across all time
scales. Additionally, sites in Alajuela (Costa Rica), Haifa (Israel), and Colorado Springs (US) are
assessed to have medium-level risks in the foreseeable future predominately driven by heat stress
and drought.
From a chronic perspective results indicate that none of our sites are expected to be exposed to sea
level rise and exposure to chronic shifts (e.g. change average temperatures) is also very limited. It is
however important to note that there are a few sites in direct proximity to high-risk areas for sea
level rise. This includes the Drachten site (Netherlands), Hamburg site (Germany), and Batam site
(Indonesia).
Philips has implemented robust control measures across our sites to address identified climate risks.
Our risk analysis demonstrates comprehensive preparedness: among the 12 risks categorized as
very high likelihood, all are controlled by measures with medium or higher effectiveness, with 83%
controlled by high or very high effective measures. Similarly, for the 29 risks identified with high
likelihood, 86% are managed through control measures of high or very high effectiveness. This
data validates the strength and thoroughness of our risk adaptation strategy, confirming our
operational resilience in the face of climate challenges.
Transition Risk & Opportunity Assessment
To ensure a smooth and gradual transition it is important for us to anticipate potential transition
events and their impact on Philips’ operations. Conducting a transition risk/opportunity assessment
therefore helps us navigate the rapidly evolving global market and regulatory landscape marked by
sustainability imperatives. It also enables us to identify opportunities that we should capitalize on.
Overall, through a stringent transition risk and opportunity assessment we are able to ensure the
company stays compliant with upcoming regulations, adapts its business strategies, invest in
sustainable technologies, minimize financial disruptions and proactively attract eco-conscious
customers and investors. For more information on the methodology and results of the risk
assessment please refer to the Climate Resilience report 2024. Please note that calculation
methodologies, critical assumptions and scope of assessment are specific to each transition and
explored below underneath each header.
Upstream transition events
It is expected that the prices for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions will rise in the future to
incentivize the adoption of low-carbon technologies. This can be driven by mechanisms such as the
Emission Trading Schemes (ETS) or carbon taxation. While we endorse this general policy direction,
it comes with associated risks. From an upstream perspective, we expect that impacted suppliers
will pass on the cost of carbon using the rates as defined by CE Delft (2021) per sector. The general
assumption is that depending on the homogeneity of the product and elasticity of demand, some
sectors are more inclined to pass on the cost of carbon downstream to their value chain partners
(e.g. Philips).
Most notably the EU-ETS is a cap-and-trade system that covers roughly 40% of all EU wide
emissions. Sectors in scope are among others steel, iron, aluminum, paper and cardboard and
glass. With the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) legislation in
2026, the scope of the EU ETS will expand to also include importers that currently reside outside
the EU.
For a preliminary estimation we have the below key assumptions:
• We can decarbonize our Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and service in line with
Philips’ transition plan.
• Maximum carbon prices in accordance with the SSP1-1.9 scenario as derived by IIASA.
• Only purchased goods and service-related emissions are of interest.
For the short- and medium-term it was assumed that only high emitting industries, in alignment
with the EU-ETS, will be directly impacted by carbon pricing (steel, iron, aluminum, glass, etc.).
Carbon prices were therefore only applied to chemicals, glass, a subset of metals, and paper and
cardboard. For the long-term it was then assumed that all materials regardless of their type will be
impacted by carbon pricing.
As response, we actively monitor the life cycle emissions of our purchased goods and steer our
businesses towards sustainable product development through our EcoDesign and Circular Economy
program. For more information, please refer to Resource use and circular economy.
Operations transition events
As Philips we have set a stringent long-term emission reduction target of reducing our Scope 1 and
2 emissions by 90% until 2040 compared to the 2015 baseline. From a transition perspective we
are therefore interested in identifying potential stranded assets, which are concretely planned sites,
across the medium- and long-term with significant locked-in GHG emissions.
Based on our internal investigations that included members from our integrated supply chain, Real
estate and Group Sustainability, we have concluded that there are no expected stranded assets and
no assets exposed to transition risks. This is based on the fact that in 2024 we have already reduced
our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 85% compared to 2015 meaning a target achievement rate of
95%. We are therefore well on track to achieving our long-term reduction targets. To manage our
remaining energy and GHG intensive sites we monitor the emissions of our high impact sites
monthly and together with Real estate are investigating novel ways to eliminate the usage of fossil
fuels on site. All high impact sites are therefore under control and addressed by climate mitigation
plans. From 2025 onwards a new KPI will also be introduced targeted at the CO 2-e footprint of our
sites.

Please note that no carbon pricing scheme associated with our Scope 1 and 2 emissions (ETS,
carbon tax, etc.) has a current material impact on our financial statements.
Downstream transition events
Under the given low global warming scenario, it is assumed that there is strong socio-economic
drive to shift towards a low-carbon economy. With more than 60% of our full value chain
emissions residing downstream during the use phase of our products this is our main exposure. This
could include energy efficiency policies, market forces demanding energy efficiency improvements
and consumer preferences that drive technological advancements. The rapid change could lead to
a situation where Philips’ current technological capabilities lag behind those of our competitors and
where the locked-in GHG emissions of our products inhibit our Scope 3 target achievement. For a
more detailed overview of this risk please refer to our Climate Resilience report that is available via
our ESG download page.
To manage this risk, we continue our focus on energy efficiency, with Energy as one of four key
focal areas of our EcoDesign program. All new product introductions are expected to optimize their
energy efficiency. For more information on how EcoDesign can help our target achievement
besides the transition towards renewable energy please refer to Philips transition plan for climate
change mitigation. For a quantitative assessment of our locked-in GHG emissions associated with
our products please refer to Climate change and more specifically our emission associated with
purchased goods and use of sold products.
Resources allocated to climate change
To strengthen our climate resilience from both adaptation and mitigation perspective and meet
external commitments (e.g. Science Based Targets) we have allocated resources to reducing our
environmental impact and preparing for potential acute and chronic climate related risks.
Past and current resources
Philips has allocated resources to enhance environmental resilience, including proceeds from the
Green and Sustainability Innovation Bonds issued under Philips’ Green and Sustainability Innovation
Bond Framework (April 24, 2019). These funds have been invested in Green and Sustainability
Eligible Projects aligned with the objectives of:
• Reducing value chain emissions (climate mitigation)
• Building adaptive capacity (climate adaptation)
All bonds issued under the Framework follow the International Capital Market Association (ICMA)
Green Bond Principles 2018, Social Bond Principles 2018 and the ICMA Sustainability Bond
Guidelines 2018, to ensure that the selected and disclosed projects meet widely recognized criteria.
For more information, visit https://www.philips.com/a-w/about/investor-relations/debt.html.
We have other expenditures allocated to our environmental objectives. For climate mitigation and
adaptation, a subset of the expenditures for the EU Taxonomy reporting are relevant. This is
equivalent to approximately EUR 3 million (0.3%) of our EU Taxonomy aligned CapEx related to our
actions to improve energy efficiency, phase out fossil fuels and build adaptive capacity on site.
Refer to our EU Taxonomy disclosures for more. We have also invested EUR 263 million in Green
Innovation in 2024 to support our efforts in reducing our biggest emissions contributors which are
purchased goods and use of sold products. In total, our aforementioned expenditures cover these
key actions related to our decarbonization levers:
• Designing energy-efficient products and collaborating with our customers to reduce emissions
during the use-phase
• Minimizing our purchased goods emissions by adopting circular economy practices and
transitioning to sustainable alternatives
• Collaborating with our suppliers to reduce emissions in our supply chain
• Reducing emissions from logistics by optimizing our planning horizon
• Transitioning to lower carbon-emitting energy at our sites
Future resources
To ensure we meet our future climate targets and continue to build our adaptive capacity, it is
important that future resources are allocated to our target achievement, such as:
• Investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
• Development of EcoDesigned new product introductions and partnerships
• Infrastructure resilience, flood defense improvements, and climate-resilient, nature-based
solutions
The final financial planning including future financial resources related to our transition plan is in
progress.

Philips’ Emission calculation methodologies:
Philips reports in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP). The GHGP distinguishes three
Scopes, as described below. The GHGP requires businesses to report on the first two Scopes to
comply with the GHGP reporting standards. As per the updated GHGP Scope 2 reporting guidance,
from 2015 onward our Scope 2 emissions reporting includes both the market-based method and
the location-based method. The market-based method of reporting will serve as our reference for
calculating our total carbon footprint. As part of our carbon footprint, Philips also reports on five
Scope 3 categories. These are indirect emissions that reside either upstream or downstream and are
included in our approved Science Based Target of 42% reduction by 2030.
Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions
These are direct emissions caused by company owned and -controlled entities. For example, the
burning of fossil fuels and the use of refrigerants or chemicals on-site generates Scope 1-related
CO 2-e (carbon dioxide equivalent) emissions. Sites report their consumption of refrigerants, and
anthropogenic or biogenic-based fuels via our internal sustainability reporting system. Consumption
per resource is then aggregated across all sites and multiplied by resource-specific emission factors.
This approach is being used for all industrial sites and 80% of our non-industrial sites’ floor area.
For all other sites, consumption is extrapolated. For Scope 1 emissions we use two sets of emission
factors. For fossil fuels and natural gases, we use the UK Department for Business, Energy &
Industrial Strategy (BEIS) database (v1.1 2023 – Global Warming Potentials (GWP) 5th

| 195 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report (AR)). For all other relevant
Scope 1 refrigerants, we use the IPCC database (Either AR6, v1.2 or v1.5, or AR5, v1.2).
Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions
These are indirect emissions caused by the purchase of electricity, heating, steam, and cooling.
These emissions are not generated on our sites but are still directly impacted by our consumption
level and contractual agreements. We can therefore reduce these emissions by reducing
consumption or by ensuring purchased energy comes from low-emission sources. We report on
both market-based and location-based emissions. For the market-based approach, we first subtract
the amount of renewable energy acquired or self-generated in a specific region from the actual
amount of electricity consumed. All renewable electricity claimed by Philips is sourced from the
same energy market where the electricity-consuming operations are located, and is tracked and
redeemed, retired, or cancelled solely on behalf of Philips. To ensure ‘additionality’, all certificates
were generated in 2024 – or maximum six months prior – in the market of consumption and are
retired on behalf of Philips. The remainder can then be considered grey electricity, meaning a non-
renewable source. We then multiply this by a residual mix emission factor. For more information on
our renewable energy methodology please refer to the ESG download page. For the location-based
approach, we examine energy purchases and disregard any renewable energy certificates acquired.
This amount is then multiplied by grid-average emission factors. The grid emission factors used for
the market-based approach are dependent on the location. For sites in the US, we apply the eGrid-
specific Residual Mix emission factor (Green-e 2023 v1.1 (2021 Data)), and for sites in Europe we
use the AIB European Residual Mixes (2022 v1.1). For all other countries, we apply the IEA emission
factors because residual mix emission factors are non-existent for these regions (2023 v1.1 - GWP
AR4, or 2022 v1.1 – GWP AR4). For the location-based approach we use eGrid and IEA grid
average emission factors (Both v1.1 – GWP AR4). For all other energy purchases we use the
emission factors from Bets (v1.1 2023 – GWP AR5).
Scope 3, category 1 – Purchased goods and services
This includes any emissions generated by the consumption of raw materials, components,
packaging, and services that are acquired to create and distribute Philips products. This is partially
done in alignment with the Philips EP&L statement and only includes production-related goods
(e.g., components and parts) and all services that fall under the GHG Protocol described category.
Goods-related emissions are calculated using an average data method and services using a spend-
based method. Components and material specific emission factors are determined using EcoInvent
(v3.9.1 – GWP AR6). These factors are regularly updated and consider the sourcing as well as raw
material processing. The impact of purchased services is in contrast based on an input-output
model. To derive emissions the Exiobase database (v3.8.2 – GWP AR5 and AR6) is leveraged, which
factors in all activities connected to the corresponding service.
Scope 3, category 4 – Upstream transportation and distribution
This includes all emissions generated by transporting components, products, or raw materials from
one location to another via a mode owned by a third party. This includes both upstream and
mainstream (shipment between Philips facilities) related shipments and can include transport via air,
road, or sea. Rail transport is rarely used by Philips and therefore has a negligible influence on total
emissions. For air freight, road freight or less than a container load ocean freight, the emission
factors from BEIS are leveraged (v1.1 2023 - GWP AR5). For full container load transports the
emission factors from Clean Cargo are used (version 2022 – GWP AR6).
Scope 3, category 6 – Business travel
This covers any mode of transportation that is used by employees for business purposes and
operated by a third party, excluding commuting. To calculate business travel emissions, we
distinguish air travel and automobile travel. For automobile travel, we include leased vehicles and
rented vehicles. All other modes of transportation are not considered due to their minimal usage
for business purposes and negligible total impact (e.g., trains in the Netherlands run on renewable
electricity). The emissions factors from BEIS (v1.1 2023 – GWP AR5) are leveraged as these are
updated annually.
Scope 3, category 9 – Downstream transportation and distribution
This includes all emissions generated by transporting finished goods from a Philips facility or third-
party warehouse to a customer via a mode owned by a third party. Please note that we are not
always able to clearly distinguish shipments paid by Philips or by our customers, thereby slightly
deviating from the GHGP. This can include transport via air, road, or sea. Rail transport is rarely
used by Philips and therefore has a negligible influence on total emissions. For air freight, road
freight or less than a container load ocean freight the emission factors from BEIS are leveraged
(v1.1 2023 - GWP AR5). For full container load transports the emission factors from Clean Cargo
are used (version 2022 – GWP AR6).
Scope 3, category 11 – Use of sold products
To calculate the emissions generated during the use phase of our products we are interested in
three key variables: the lifetime energy per device, number of products sold per country and
country specific emission factors. It should be noted that the energy consumption during the full
lifetime of the products sold is included in the emission calculation of the year of sale. To calculate
emissions, the country grid average emission factors from EcoInvent (v3.9.1 – GWP AR6) are used.
Only the direct energy need during use is accounted for (e.g., electricity to power our products).
For more information on our emission and renewable energy calculation methodologies please
refer to the ESG download page. This also includes a detailed analysis of the proportion of
emissions calculated using primary data from our suppliers.

Note II Resource use and circular economy
For Philips, resource use and circular economy has, similar to climate change, been a material topic
for many years, reconfirmed also by the DMA conducted in 2024. Our first circularity targets were
established in the 1990s when we set recycling targets for our manufacturing sites. Since then, we
have continued with waste related targets that build on established measurements in line with
global waste standards. Recognizing that circularity goes beyond waste, already in 2016, we
committed to deliver 15% circular revenues by 2020, building on experiences from the significant
progress through our Green Revenue commitment. This was followed by another commitment in
2018 at Davos to ‘close the loop’ of our large medical equipment, recognizing the need to also
take responsible care of them at their end-of-use.
This chapter details Philips’ policies, targets, metrics, impacts, risks, opportunities as well as actions
and resources allocated to the transition towards sustainable resource use and a circular economy.
Policies, metrics and targets
Philips’ policy and 2025 circularity targets
Our circularity targets are in line with our Environmental Policy, aiming to maximize value with
minimal consumption of virgin and non-renewable materials. Philips looks at circularity in its
broadest sense, meaning that we do not only address the type and weight of the materials we use,
but also, for example, dematerialization (e.g. through digitalization), efficiency (e.g., improving
utilization), optimizing products-in-use (e.g. upgrades) and take-back of our products at end-of-
use. The accompanying table shows how our 2025 circularity targets relate to increasing the
circularity of our resource inflows and outflows while reducing waste. These targets also help to
address the impacts, risks and opportunities related to resource use.

We use circular revenues as an overarching target metric that collates practices at Philips related to
products, services and solutions that contribute to circularity across all our businesses. It measures
the revenue contributions across four of our five strategic circularity areas – Circular design of
software and hardware, Circular delivery & finance models, Circular service in-use phase and
Circular end-of-use management. Circular revenues addresses circular design, circular material use
rate, primary material consumption, renewable resources, plus all layers of the waste hierarchy –
from prevention to recycling.
Our EcoDesigned NPIs fulfill circular design requirements on, for example, low weight design and
sustainable materials that can reduce primary material consumption and increase use of sustainably
sourced renewable materials. Requirements to design for disassembly and recycling also support
recirculation that improves the circular material use rate. A subset of the EcoHero revenues are
related to sales of products that outperform on circular design. These support the increase of
circular design, circular material use rate and also minimizing primary raw materials. Hence, this
subset of EcoHero revenues is also included in the circular revenues metric. See EcoDesign.
For the strategic area circular manufacturing and supply we have separate targets on Zero waste to
landfill and Circular materials management that address waste management at our sites including
prevention, reuse and recycling. This can, for example, support the provision of secondary
materials. See Sustainable Operations.
Our target for Close the Loop on medical equipment extends waste management to our customers
and beyond our sites, supporting also an increase in circular material use rate and reduction of
primary materials. By the end of 2020, Philips ‘closed the loop’ on its large medical equipment by
structurally embedding a responsible take-back policy into its customer trade-in offers. This means
that for all large equipment that a customer is willing to trade-in at end of use, Philips will, where
feasible, take it back for refurbishment and/or parts recovery, or locally recycle it in a certified way
to avoid equipment from ending up in landfill. This includes MR, IGT, CT, US and DXR systems.
Following our policy implementation for our large medical equipment, Philips is continuing to
extend its ’closing the loop’ program to small medical equipment by adapting this policy to fit with
the different value drivers, distribution channels and modalities of small equipment. This includes
patient monitors, ECGs, and image guided therapy consoles. By 2025, we aim to have a policy in
place to responsibly take-back all professional medical equipment sold directly to customers as part
of a trade-in offer or as a service at customer request. This excludes consumables, accessories and
non-Philips equipment.
Philips’ material flows
In addition to tracking progress towards our 2025 circularity ambitions, we are also measuring the
impact of these on Philips’ material flows. In 2024, Philips put a total weight of 60 kilotonnes of
products & parts, 34 kilotonnes of packaging on the market, 20 kilotonnes of waste and less than
0.07 kilotonnes of chemicals via emissions. As such, the total weight of 114 kilotonnes is used as
the reference value for all ‘%’ related reporting on material weight.
The main materials that Philips used in 2024 for its products, parts and packaging include plastics
(29%), metals (18%), cardboard (13%), and paper (7%). A more granular view on the material
inflow content (such as whether it’s reused or renewable) and material outflow potential (its ability
to re-enter the technical and biological loops of a circular economy) are depicted in the below
table.
Philips Group
Philips material flows

| 2024
Total weight of products, parts and materials, waste and VOC emissions | 114 kilotonnes
Material inflow content |
Recycled content | 22 kilotonnes / 19%
Renewable content | 30 kilotonnes / 26%
Reused content (excl. recycled content) | 2.6 kilotonnes / 2%
Critical raw materials | 7.7 kilotonnes / 6.8%
Strategic raw materials | 7.6 kilotonnes / 6.7%
Material outflow potential |
Recyclable content | 87 kilotonnes / 76%
Technical materials | 75 kilotonnes / 66%
Technical recyclable materials | 57 kilotonnes / 50%
Technical non-recyclable materials | 15 kilotonnes / 13%
Biological materials | 29 kilotonnes / 26%

Packaging is a key contributor to both recycled (10%) and renewable content (21%) in 2024.
Additionally, 1% of Philips material flow was from sustainably sourced renewable materials with a
certification from, e.g., FSC or ISCC. The numbers are currently low and we are working to improve
the reporting process.
We continue our efforts to advance our transparency on use of both Critical and Strategic Raw
Materials as defined by the European Commission. Our current data shows that most of the critical
raw materials (such as aluminum and helium) are also considered strategic.
In 2024, the theoretical recyclability of products and packaging was 77% and 97% respectively.
While looking at the recyclable content is important, it is also critical to look at the recyclability at a
product level. Product design can negatively impact a product’s recyclability, making it harder to
recover value from them at the end of their useful lives. To improve product level recyclability of
our professional and consumer portfolio, we have developed and started to deploy a recyclability
tool that uses product-specific data on the materials and the types of connections used to
determine the recyclability rate.
Approximately 91% of our total weight is classified either as a technical or biological material. The
remaining 9% (3 kilotonnes) includes materials not reported via the EP&L as well as the out of

| 198 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

scope materials within the EP&L. While biological materials like paper are suitable for biological
loops, these are also materials that can be recycled and have a high rate of recyclable content. That
is why the recyclable content is higher for our biological materials (100%) compared to our
technical materials (50%). For our biological and renewable materials, it is important to note that in
line with the 1st priority of the cascading principle, these materials are used in our products and
packaging and not for energy purposes. Similar to our renewable materials, 1% of Philips material
flow was from sustainably sourced biological materials. The results are similar because most
renewable materials are also considered biological.
Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care contributed with 2.5 kilotonnes of reused materials.
This includes our Circular Edition refurbished medical equipment and recirculated parts. Personal
Health contributed with 0.01 kilotonnes from refurbished products.
Actions
Philips circular revenues, which is our overarching circularity metric, increased with 4% compared
to 2023. The step-up is mainly driven by contributions from circular design, mostly from low-weight
design and use of sustainable materials. Revenues associated with circular services in use-phase
dropped, mainly related to reclassifying products within ‘circular service in use-phase’ to other
circular revenue categories. This is also one of the main reasons why circular revenues from circular
delivery and financing models increased compared to 2023.
Philips Group
Philips Circular revenues as % of total Philips revenues

More detailed actions to deliver on our 2025 circularity commitments are described in subsequent
sections.
Circular design of software and hardware
Our EcoDesign program is a key driver for our Circular Economy program. One of the focal areas of
EcoDesign is circularity, which encompasses, for example, the application of recycled and bio-based
materials and designing for low weight, durability, disassembly, and recycling. A subset of
EcoDesigned products, those which specifically outperform on the focal area of circular design, will
therefore also be counted as contributing to circular revenues target metric. These include, for
example, products that meet defined thresholds on reduced weight compared to competitor
products or their predecessors.
Durability is a product’s ability to remain functional and relevant when used as intended and can be
expressed through different ways such as reliability and lifetime. At this moment, Philips cannot
report on the durability of its product groups compared to industry average, as there are no
publicly available industry averages for our product groups. We however continue our efforts to
optimize lifetime either through circular design requirements (by outperforming on our EcoDesign
requirements for ‘design for durability & reliability’ vs predecessor) or for which lifetime extensions
and refurbishment can be offered.
Most of our medical equipment portfolio is serviceable, including service instructions for
professional maintenance, and spare parts and support availability over the product lifetime.
Consumer products are being redesigned as required to meet all relevant new standards and
regulations including Right to Repair regulations and the EU Battery Directive, if applicable and
required. Philips strives to improve professional and consumer repairability of its products, and our
design process includes tools to assess repairability.
Circular manufacturing and supply
In line with our ambition for fully circular operations, Philips applies Lean methodologies to improve
processes and continuously reduce the environmental footprint across our sites. Circular materials
management is our leading KPI and is not expressed in circular revenues. We retain as much as
possible material value of our waste stream through waste management and increasing circular
practices at our sites. Waste related to biological materials is taken care of according to the
cascading principle, which is similar to the waste hierarchy for which we apply with regards to
waste from technical materials. We team up with our supply chain partners to find circular
solutions for discarded materials, for example in the ’waste to value’ initiative. For inbound supplier
packaging, we aim to replace single-use packaging with more sustainable solutions like reusable
boxes to contribute to our packaging waste ambitions from recycling to re-use and reduce. For
example, at the Philips Personal Health Industrial Site in Zhuhai 0.8 kilotonnes of plastic waste and
0.4 kilotonnes of cardboard waste were prevented by implementing reusable plastic trays to
replace cardboard box partitions and implementing circular systems in which boxes are
continuously sent back to the suppliers for them to use again for the supply of future shipments.
Through initiatives like this in 2024, a total of 4.8 kilotonnes of waste were prevented or reused,
thereby averting end of life emissions of 3.0 kilotonnes of CO 2-e (assuming incineration as end-of-
life treatment). For more information, please refer to Sustainable Operations.

Circular delivery and financing models
Circular delivery and financing models enable ecosystem partners, including customers and
suppliers, to work closely together on products that incentivize material efficiency across the
company’s value chain. This includes leasing, rentals, and service-based models such as Enterprise
Monitoring as a Service (EMaaS) and mobile cardiac telemetry monitoring. By subscribing to EMaaS,
customers gain access to critical patient monitoring capabilities and managed services. This can
help advance staff’s capabilities and analyze performance across care settings to help improve
workflows. A collaborative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted with Jackson Health System in
Miami-Dade County, Florida also showed Philips patient monitors can help reduce carbon emissions
by 685.1 tonnes of CO 2-e or 47% compared to previous systems. Through digitalizing
documentation flow and telemetry monitoring, the customer was able to eliminate the need for an
estimated 6.5 million sheets of paper and 420,000 disposable AA batteries, which can allow the
health system to save $1.2 million over a 10-year device lifetime. For our consumer products, we
offer, for example, rental programs for Lumea IPL and the Avent breastpump. When the rental
period is over, we take the product back and wherever possible, refurbish it so it can be used by
another consumer. Circular delivery and financing models also include digital solutions that drive
dematerialization, helping to further reduce resource use. Our businesses develop and operate
cloud-based informatics solutions for customers, which use less resources compared to running
these solutions on IT hardware on premises. For instance, Philips is further advancing our digital
pathology solutions with AWS. Digitalizing pathology also reduces the need to process and store
glass slides while improving workflow efficiency.
Circular service in use-phase
During the use-phase of our products, we help our customers to optimize the use of our products
to maximize their value. For example in 2024, we upgraded almost 3000 medical systems around
the globe combined for HPM, MR, CT, Image Guided Therapy and Ultrasound. For example, our
MR SmartPath portfolio helps customers to re-use their existing magnets and convert these to the
next-generation MR. Our software upgrades like SmartSpeed increases imaging speed by up to a
factor of 3* while reducing power consumption on average by 32% per patient scan** while still
using the same equipment.
*Compared to Philips SENSE imaging.
**Applicable to BlueSeal SE. Philips SmartSpeed power consumption versus Philips SENSE based scanning.
Based on COCIR and in-house simulated environment. Results can vary based on site conditions.
Circular end-of-use management
Keeping materials in circulation is a vital element of the circular economy. Philips strives to
recirculate products and parts that come back to our operations.
Medical equipment
Operationalizing our ’closing the loop’ commitment has reduced our environmental footprint by
enabling us to reclaim more and triage for re-use at highest value. In 2024, as part of ‘Closing the
Loop’ Philips:
• Reclaimed more than 8,600 systems or pieces of equipment, driven largely by the take-back
program for patient monitors (more than 5,800 patient monitors). This is lower than 2023 where
we reclaimed 11,500 systems or pieces of equipment. This drop is mainly attributed to less
Philips systems and equipment made, influenced also by market conditions.
• Managed our active refurbished systems (Circular Edition) installed base of over 10,000 systems.
• Locally recycled 0.3 kilotonnes of medical systems and equipment through our certified global
recycling network. This is a decrease compared to 2023 where 0.5 kilotonnes was locally
recycled. The results are however not comparable to 2023 due to an improvement in the
reporting methodology.
We have more than 30 years of experience providing hospitals with refurbished systems. Our
refurbished portfolios (Circular Edition), offer refurbished imaging systems that are ‘as good as
new’ across MR, CT, Ultrasound and Image Guided Therapy Systems, with the same high-quality
standards, warranty and service performance levels as you expect from new Philips systems. Our
Circular Edition refurbishment factories are compliant with ISO standard 13485 and ISO 14001. In
2024, Philips re-used on average 84% of material weight from returned MR, CT, US and IGT
systems during refurbishment, thereby reducing the need for additional materials. The reuse of
materials also drives carbon emission savings. For example, the carbon footprint of a refurbished
Azurion 7 C20 system is 28% lower compared to a new one, saving 26 tonnes CO 2-e emissions,
thanks to reusing more than 2,457 kg (80%) of the material weight. This translates to 60% less
Scope 3 emissions for a hospital versus a new system. When shifting to renewable electricity during
use, the carbon footprint saving goes up to 55%***. In addition, Philips has also recirculated more
than 100,000 parts for use again with customers. This includes repaired and recovered parts from
the take-back of medical equipment and parts, including also All Parts Medical.
***Comparison of a new Azurion 7 C20 and a refurbished Azurion 7 C20. Based on Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA) in line with ISO14040/44 and using ReCiPe2016, EcoInvent3.9.1 database including global average
energy mix, COCIR standard for energy consumption, and the average reused weight percentage during
refurbishment in Best in 2023. Results will vary based on amount, system type and age of returned systems
as well as the country due to, amongst other things, source of energy and logistics. Supply chain emissions
refer to all life cycle stages, excluding use-phase and end of life. For a healthcare customer this is equivalent
to Scope 3 emissions - for more information, refer to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Consumer products
In 2024, we offered refurbished products in 16 countries that also come with a warranty. Our
refurbished products include Lumea IPL, shavers, hair care products and baby monitors. This year,
we also started to offer refurbished toothbrushes.
While we proactively engage with our Business-to-Business customers, including retailers, to
responsibly take care of products at end-of-use, products are also disposed via local take back
systems. These are discarded by consumers at the end of their useful life, and they are eventually
processed by national collection and recycling schemes. Europe has advanced schemes, and in
accordance with the recycling rates published for packaging and the EU Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations, we estimate that approximately 9 kilotonnes of products
(in WEEE category 5) and packaging from our Personal Health business units were recycled in the
EU in 2024. This is a decrease compared to the previous year (11.8 kilotonnes), mainly attributable
to a shift in methodology for packaging, and lower packaging volumes put to market. The weight
of recycled consumer products & packaging is estimated by multiplying the weight of products and

| 200 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

packaging put to market (stemming from the Philips Environmental Profit and Loss Account – EP&L)
with the EU WEEE recycling rates. For products, we use a 3-year average weight put to market, and
for packaging we use the weight put to market in the reporting year only. This is a slight change
from last year, where we used a 3-year average for both. The change in methodology for
packaging is because we assume that packaging is disposed of in the year of purchase. Due to this
change, this year’s figure is not comparable to last year.
Impact, risk and opportunity management
In this section, Philips’ nature risk assessment approach (including risks related to resource use and
circular economy), and the results of this assessment, will be explained.
Philips nature risk assessment approach
Philips recognizes the importance of identifying, assessing and mitigating nature-related risks to
ensure business continuity and resilience. The Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures
(TNFD) report provides information needed by investors, lenders, insurance underwriters, and other
stakeholders to appropriately assess nature-related risks and opportunities, including those related
to ESRS E5.
To identify and evaluate our impacts and dependencies (actual and potential) and assess related
risks and opportunities related to resource use and circular economy, we applied the Locate,
Evaluate, Assess, and Prepare (LEAP) approach, in line with the recommended approach of TNFD.
This approach constitutes four stages: Locate (Philips’ interface with nature), Evaluate (Philips’
dependencies and impacts on nature), Assess (Philips’ nature-related risks and opportunities) and
Prepare (to respond to and report on material nature-related issues). This is also aligned with the
recommended disclosures for Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
As part of the Locate stage, we determined the scope of our risk and opportunities assessment
includes Philips’ businesses, regions, and functions focusing on Philips’ 23 manufacturing sites. To
apply the LEAP approach, Philips used multiple available tools such as an external risk insurance tool
(Munich Re), the Ecosystem Intelligence tool (Ecometrix), and the Philips EP&L. Local teams at our
manufacturing sites were involved in the impact assessment to identify high priority nature-related
risks and opportunities. As part of the improvement opportunities in developing the LEAP
approach, we aim to expand the consultations with local affected stakeholders in the coming years.
Philips nature risk assessment results
In the Evaluate stage, the dependencies analysis results showed dependencies on the ecosystem
services like resource extraction. While resource extraction occurs outside the scope of our
manufacturing sites, we further assessed its dependencies and impacts on material flows based on
2023 EP&L data. See Philips material flows for more information. The highest dependencies
identified are: Paper & Cardboard (29%), Plastics (29%) and Metals (21%). In terms of materials
type, the highest impacts are caused by metals (including processing) (37%), PCBs (33%), and
electronics components (10%). Overall, the majority of the material impacts are found in the
upstream value chain.
As part of the Assess stage, we applied the same time horizons in the climate-related risk
assessments. These timeframes are agreed in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
(GBF) for ‘halting and reversing nature loss’ and ‘living in harmony with nature’. See Philips
transition plan for climate change mitigation. The main physical and transitional risks include:
Physical
Philips only uses limited amounts of water, but four manufacturing sites are located in water-
stressed regions. Continued and/or expansion of business operations could place additional stress
on scarcer water supply.
Transitional
A high priority risk identified is the volatility of costs of materials due to change in global
abundance of resources: Our analysis suggests that the highest risk stems from rising costs from
material scarcity due to various geopolitical drivers as well as developments in the non-renewables
market in the upstream value chain.
Secondly, Philips could face challenges in incorporating EcoDesign criteria from new or upcoming
legislation into its products and services.
The Prepare phase establishes metrics and targets related to nature-related dependencies and
impacts. These have been set as part of our ESG 2025 commitments. For targets linked to
circularity of resource inflows, outflows and waste management, see Philips’ policy and 2025
circularity targets.
Allocated Resources to Resource use and circular economy
To support the transition towards a circular economy and ensure we meet our external circularity
commitments, we have allocated resources.
Past and current resources
Part of Philips resources is from the proceeds of the Green and Sustainability Innovation Bonds that
were issued under Philips’ Green and Sustainability Innovation Bond Framework dated April 24,
2019. Refer to Climate change for more information. In addition to the proceeds, we also have
other expenditures allocated to our environmental objectives. For circular economy, a subset of the
expenditures for the EU Taxonomy reporting are relevant. This is equivalent to approximately EUR
83 million (13%) of our CapEx related to our actions to grow circular revenue sales from 'Circular
delivery and financing models' and 'Circular end-of-use management'. The former amounts to EUR
72 million from 'CE4.1 Provision of IT/OT data driven solutions' and 'CE5.5. Product-as-a-service
and other circular use- and result oriented services'. Their expenditures relate mainly to property,
plant, equipment and Right-of-Use assets (75%) followed by intangible assets (25%). The
expenditures of ‘Circular end-of-use management’ amounts to EUR 11 million from 'CE5.1 Repair,
refurbishment and remanufacturing' and 'CE5.2 Sales of spare parts'. Their expenditures only relate
to property, plant, equipment and Right-of-Use assets. Approximately EUR 361 million (19%) of
our OpEx expenditures relate primarily to our actions to grow circular revenue sales from 'Circular
delivery and financing models'. This amounts to EUR 357 million from 'CE4.1 Provision of IT/OT

| 201 |

data driven solutions' and 'CE5.5. Product-as-a-service and other circular use- and result oriented
services'. Their expenditures relate primarily to research and development (62%) and the remainder
to property, plant and equipment related costs including short term leases (38%). Refer to EU
Taxonomy disclosures. We have also invested EUR 263 million in Green Innovation in 2024 to
support our efforts on circularity such as increasing circular design and shifting to cloud.
Future resources
The final financial planning including future financial resources related to our transition plan is in
progress.
EcoDesign
EcoDesigned New Product Introduction (NPI) and Green Innovation
A target metric for the EcoDesign program is EcoDesigned NPIs, measuring new product
introduction that are designed to meet the criteria for EcoDesigned Product that must comply with
all applicable legal requirements, Philips policies, and all stated EcoDesigned Product requirements
in our four focal areas: Energy, Substances, Circularity and Packaging.
For Energy, we, for example, set requirements to deliver low energy consumption during use and
standby. For Packaging, we design for minimal weight and volume and maximized recyclability
while also using sustainably sourced and recycled materials. Our Circularity requirements include
designing with minimal materials, using sustainable materials and optimizing design for e.g.
disassembly. For Substances, we work to phase-out hazardous substances and ensure full
compliance with the Philips Regulated Substances List (RSL).
Our Green Innovation – the Research & Development spend related to the development of
EcoDesigned Innovation and Circular Innovation. EcoDesigned Innovations include innovation
projects that are designed to contribute to our EcoDesign requirements while Circular innovations
relate to innovation projects that primarily aim to contribute to circular revenues.
Philips Group
Green Innovation per segment in millions of EUR

Diagnosis & Treatment
Philips develops innovative solutions that support precision diagnosis and effective, minimally
invasive interventions and therapy, while respecting the limits of natural resources. Investments in
Green Innovation in 2024 amounted to EUR 109 million compared to EUR 78 million in 2023.
Energy efficiency is a key area of focus, especially for our large imaging systems such as MRI.
Through circular design (both part of our Circular Economy Program and our EcoDesign program),
Philips also pays particular attention to enabling reduction in use of virgin materials, for example,
through designing for low weight and enabling the upgrading and re-use of our products. This
helps to further increase the value created and decrease the environmental impact Philips can
deliver during product use, but also from returned systems as part of our closing the loop
commitment on medical equipment.
Connected Care
Philips’ connected health 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. Green Innovation investments in 2024 amounted to EUR 94 million, a significant step up
compared to 29 million in 2023, mainly driven by investments in new product introductions. For
the hardware designs, we are focusing on our focal areas, especially reducing energy and phasing
out hazardous material.

Personal Health
Green Innovation investments in 2024 amounted to EUR 60 million, compared to 33 million in
2023. Personal Health continued its work on improving the energy efficiency of its products, and
the voluntary phase-out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), brominated flame retardants (BFR), Bisphenol A
(BPA) and phthalates from, among others, food contact and childcare products. New hairdryers
have been launched that are more energy-efficient, with an average efficiency improvement of
more than 15% compared to the 2020 baseline. Personal Health also continues to increase
circularity by, for example, using sustainable materials in products and packaging. As part of our
Personal Health Packaging Program, we have launched additional paper-based packaging solutions
for e.g. OneBlade, Baby Monitors and electrical power toothbrushes as part of our transition and
phase out of single use plastic from our consumer packaging.
Other
The segment Other invested EUR 0 million in Green Innovation in 2024, compared to 2 million in
2023. As part of the new operating model, most investments shifted toward the business
segments.
EcoHero Revenues and Green Revenues
Another target metric under the EcoDesign Program is EcoHero revenues, which are generated
from products that meet all EcoDesign requirements applicable to new product introductions and
outperform in at least one of the focal areas of EcoDesign (Energy, Packaging, Substances and
Circularity) either compared to their predecessor or relevant benchmarks, or meeting a set
threshold, supported by a sustainability claim. Green Revenues is an additional metric on revenues
generated by EcoDesigned products, refurbished products, rentals, leases, as-a-service, upgrades
and green services.
Philips Group
Green Revenues per segment in millions of EUR unless otherwise stated

Diagnosis & Treatment
EcoHero revenues from Diagnosis & Treatment were 32.9% in 2024. A notable EcoHero launch in
2024 is Radiography 7000M from DXR. Compared to its predecessor (MobileDiagnost wDR),
energy consumption is 51% lower. Additional improvements are 22% lower system weight and
13% less packaging weight. Other EcoHeroes include the CT Incisive platform with reduced
weight, Ultrasound Epiq and Affiniti with reduced energy compared to their predecessors and the
MR 1.5T systems with low helium usage. On average, 1.5T ZBO magnets lose about 1200 liters of
liquid helium over 10 year lifetime globally, compared with 0 liters for BlueSeal magnets*. With
1,500 units installed globally, MRI scanners equipped with Philips’ BlueSeal magnet technology
have already saved more than 2.75 million liters of helium, since 2018. This year Philips also
announced the new BlueSeal XE and SE. Its main environmental benefit compared to predecessor
models Ambition X and S, is the standard feature PowerSave+ which ensures additional energy
savings by switching automatically to stand-by mode within 30 minutes of idle time. This reduces
power consumption by up to 45% and saves up to 40MWh in energy per year **. With EUR 7.3
billion, Green Revenues amounted to 83% of total sales.
*Based on typical performance of 1.5T ZBO magnets (Ingenia systems) in the Philips installed base.
**Philips stand-by versus ready-to-scan mode. Results can vary based on site conditions

Connected Care
Connected Care’s EcoHero revenues were 5.6% in 2024. Examples of an EcoHero include patient
monitors MX750 and MX850. In comparison to it's predecessor (MX800) the MX850 and the
MX750 have a significant better energy efficiency. For the MX850 the energy consumption is
reduced by 20%, for the MX750 around 30%. With EUR 3.0 billion, Green Revenues amounted to
59% of total. An example is the Philips EcoDesigned PageWriter TC35 cardiograph, with reduced
power in on-mode compared to its predecessors TC 20 and TC 30.
Personal Health
EcoHero revenues from Personal Health were 17.1% in 2024. One example of an EcoHero for
Personal Health is the Oral Healthcare Brush Head with biobased content. In our Mother and Child
Care portfolio, Philips launched a new baby monitor with 50% mechanically recycled ABS material
in the housing, coming in a paper based packaging. With EUR 3.3 billion, Green Revenues were
equivalent to 96% of total sales, demonstrating the maturity of the Personal Health business in
EcoDesign.
Waste
In 2024, our manufacturing sites generated 20 kilotonnes of waste, an increase of 4% compared
to 2023, mainly driven by the increased amount of reused materials reported from our two sites in
the US. The reused materials represent 13% of the total waste in 2024 compared to the 9% in
2023. In the Personal Health segment the waste increased significantly, by 19% due to increased
operational waste of the reused materials. Diagnosis & Treatment waste in 2024 was comparable
to 2023. Connected Care decreased waste by 31% due to decrease in operational waste at Sleep
& Respiratory Care Sites.

Until 2020, total waste consisted of waste that is delivered for landfill, incineration, waste to energy
or recycling. We extended the scope with materials sent for re-use and other recovery as of 2021.
Total waste does not include waste prevented.
Materials delivered for re-use, other recovery or recycling via an external contractor amounted to
18,485 tonnes, which equals 92% of the total waste. Non-recycled waste, classified as materials
delivered to incineration and landfill amounted to 1,672 tonnes, which equals 8% of the total
waste of which 67% comprised non-hazardous waste and 33% hazardous waste.
The total amount of non-recycled waste (subtracting recycled waste from total waste) is 4,211
tonnes, which equals 21% of the total waste of which 2,528 tonnes are prepared for reuse.
We recorded 2,314 tonnes of waste prevented in our own activities in 2024, compared to 1,531
tonnes in 2023. Philips did not produce any radioactive waste in 2024.

The total waste destinations are fully categorized above. There is no waste generated that is
destined for other disposal methods. Our sites addressed both the Circular Materials Management
percentage as well as waste sent to landfill, as part of our ESG commitments; refer to Definitions
and abbreviations for the definition of Circular Materials Management.
The Circular Materials Management percentage has replaced the recycling percentage in 2021. In
2024, 94% was achieved compared to 91% in 2023, the change was mainly driven by improving
operational waste management for instance through reuse of materials and through establishing
new partnerships for previously non-recycled materials.
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 2024 our manufacturing sites reported 1.1
tonnes of waste sent to landfill, a significant decrease compared to 2.7 tonnes in 2023. All our 23
industrial sites achieved Zero Waste to Landfill status in 2024.

Philips methodologies for 2025 circularity targets:
Circular revenues: Propositions that qualify for circular revenues must comply with the
requirements for at least one of the circular revenue categories. These include, among others,
products with low weight or containing a minimum threshold of recycled or bio-based plastics, as-
a-service models, software running on cloud, telehealth, upgrades, lifetime extensions, and
refurbished equipment. Each contribution is underpinned and connected to sales via Philips
management accounting data or via inputs linked to other IT systems. Circular revenues is a
financial based metric, providing us with an integral overall view of how we progress and is
primarily a steering metric that helps us to move the organization in one overarching direction. It
should be seen as one of the multiple metrics needed to drive a business to circularity and to report
on its impact. Circular revenues do as such not measure the environmental impact – however, we
do measure its scientific impact on our material flow metrics. For more information, please refer to
our joint publication with KPMG: ‘Driving circularity in a multinational - Lessons from Philips’.
Circular Materials Management: Circular Materials Management is a KPI for promoting an
increase in the proportion of waste treated using waste management hierarchy levels that are
circular: prevention, re-use, and recycling. Circular Materials Management % is the proportion of
materials managed circularly in comparison to the total used materials baseline. The total used
materials baseline is the total of both circular and linear waste, excluding linear disposal of waste
that is required by law. Circular Materials Management includes recycling, re-use, prevention and
other recovery (e.g. repurposing). It excludes all linear disposal, which is classified as waste to
energy, incineration and landfill. Philips estimates waste prevented by calculating the reduction in
waste generation resulting from in its own activities, based on the Circular Materials Management
method.
Close the Loop on medical equipment: While our target is to adopt a policy to responsibly take-
back all professional medical equipment, we monitor the impact of our Close the Loop on medical
equipment by measuring the amount of reclaimed Philips equipment. This refers to the number of
systems or pieces of equipment that is returned to us for refurbishment, parts recovery or local
recycling. As part of the reporting process, we use the technical expertise of Philips experts.
EcoDesign NPI: The EcoDesign adherence of new product introductions is measured at two
milestones during the product development process. The measurement includes the parts subject
to design change for all hardware products where Philips is the design owner and that results in a
full product or system, following the Philips PDLM (Product Development, Launch and
Maintenance) process. This excludes for example software, consumables and minor part
modifications. Acquisitions and ventures are included once the integration of the EcoDesign
process has been completed. The evaluation is performed by internal EcoDesign experts, based on
pre-defined criteria that are captured in the Philips EcoDesign requirements standard.
EcoHero Revenues: The EcoHero adherence is underpinned similar to EcoDesign new product
introductions and connected to sales limited to hardware, measured via Philips management
accounting data. They are expressed as a percentage of all revenues related to hardware. A product
or solution that has been determined to contribute to EcoHero or Green Revenues will continue to
do so until it is decommissioned.
Green Revenues: Revenues reported as ‘Green’ are a combination of revenues related to products
that were evaluated to meet the EcoDesign criteria at time of introduction and revenues generated
by green services, upgrades and refurbished products. Green revenues are measured via Philips
management.
Green Innovation: Green/EcoDesigned Innovation is measured by the financial spend related to
R&D projects that directly contribute to the intended development and maintenance of
EcoDesigned or Circular products, technologies or services. The evaluation is performed by internal
EcoDesign experts, based on pre-defined criteria that are captured in the Philips standard on Green
Innovation.
Zero Waste to Landfill: A site is classified as ’zero waste to landfill’ if less than or equal to 0.5%
of the total regular waste reported by the site is sent directly to landfill via an external contractor.
This excludes one-time waste and waste that is landfilled due to a regulatory requirement.
Philips material flow methodology:
For our materials flows, we measure the following attributes: recycled, renewable, biological,
technical, recyclable, critical raw materials and strategic raw materials. These are mainly measured
via our EP&L, which is one of our main data sources capturing the Bill of Materials (BOM) of
reference products and packaging as well as waste data. The packaging BOM for Personal Health
businesses (with the exception of certain Mother and Child Care products) is determined via the
WEEE packaging data and assumes an average weight per material. The methodology to use
different sources is the best estimate by Philips and we allow a 5% deviation in weight. The waste

| 205 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

and VOC emissions data comes from an environmental reporting tool and a sub-set of these are
also integrated into our EP&L. We also report on reused content from recirculated parts and
refurbished (healthcare and consumer) products. For parts, we use inputs from other IT systems. For
the reporting on reused content, the re-used weights from our refurbished equipment are
calculated based on a 1-year average re-use % per equipment multiplied by its original weight. For
X-ray tubes, only the re-used material weight is considered. For the re-used and refurbished
products from Personal Health, as well as reused spare parts for our medical equipment, we have
assumed that all product and part weight have been re-used. For shavers, however, we assume the
shaver head is always replaced. Since there are different reporting methodologies for reused vs
recycled content, there is no double-counting between these metrics. For our biofuel reporting, we
have assumed this is equivalent to wood, which is mainly used in our packaging. We have used the
technical expertise of Philips experts for our material flow reporting with recycled content and
critical & strategic raw materials as exception.
For more information on our calculation methodologies please refer to the ESG download page.
Philips Circular end-of-use management methodology:
Locally recycled medical systems and equipment: To report on the recycling of our medical
systems and equipment as part of ‘Closing the loop’, we use primary data from our certified
recycling network from which documentation is received on the total material weight. This is then
multiplied by the product-level recyclability for total recycled weight. The latter is an improvement
in the methodology compared to previous year.
Philips Environmental Profit & Loss account and Material Flow reporting methodology:
The Philips Environmental Profit & Loss (EP&L) account measures our environmental impact on
society at large. The EP&L account is based on Life Cycle Analysis methodology in which the
environmental impacts are expressed in monetary terms using specific conversion factors. The
outcomes help us to assess the highest impact areas, but we do not have targets for the EP&L. Our
material flow captures the weight-based flow of materials from our products, parts, and packaging
and sites waste, including Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, across its lifecycle with
Philips. From our material flow, we derive the total weight of materials put to market in the
reporting year.

Sustainable Operations
Our Sustainable Operations program relates to improving the environmental performance of our
manufacturing facilities and focus on most of the contributors to climate change, circular economy
and biodiversity & ecosystem services, addressing also for example water, recycling of waste and
chemical substances. Of the topics described below, water and pollution are not material topics as
per the 2024 DMA.

Water
Total water withdrawal in 2024 was 672,608 m 3, a 5% decrease compared with 2023 and a 11%
reduction compared with 2019 (pre-COVID level). Diagnosis & Treatment, which consumes 49% of
Philips’ total water usage, recorded a 3% increase, mainly caused by increased manufacturing
activities at a site in Costa Rica. Personal Health recorded a 12% decrease, as a result of process
improvements at our sites in the Netherlands and Indonesia. Connected Care showed a decrease of
11%, due to improvement actions at our sites in Germany and the United States. The data was
restated for the reporting years 2019-2023 due to an updated groundwater withdrawal
methodology in 2024. This caused a significant increase at one Personal Health site.
Annually, we undertake thorough assessments of both our operational sites and strategic suppliers
to address potential water-related risks. Even though not considered as material in our DMA, we
recognize the importance of responsible water management. We utilize publicly accessible tools
such as the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas by WRI and WWF Water Risk Filter to define and respond to
these risks. This comprehensive process evaluates the vulnerability of our sites to various risks
including water stress.
While Philips is not a water-intensive organization, this practice ensures the uninterrupted
continuity of our operations and the provision of high-quality Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
(WASH) services at all our sites. Among our facilities, six locations have been identified as exposed
to substantive financial and strategic risks related to water. Three sites in China and Indonesia are

highly vulnerable to coastal flooding and one sites in India is vulnerable to heavy precipitation.
Furthermore, six sites are in regions with extremely high water stress and three sites in regions with
high water stress in the US, India, China, Israel, Germany, and the Netherlands.
We are proud to have again received an ’A’ score for disclosure transparency on water security in
the CDP Europe 2024, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to water risk management and
sustainability practices.

In 2024, 93% of water was purchased and 7% was extracted from groundwater wells.
Hazardous substances emissions
Compared to heavy industry, our sites have relatively few chemical emissions and we have
voluntary targets to reduce them. However, most of our manufacturing operations have processes
that result in some emissions to air and water. Therefore, we carefully monitor all emissions and are
working to limit hazardous chemical and VOC emissions. Many of these decisions happen at the
product and process design stage.

At Philips, we want to track the impact of chemical substances on a life-cycle basis and, based on a
risk-level classification and precautionary principle, to ensure implementation in an active and
practical way. The Classified Substances List (CSL) has been set up to manage, restrict, control and/
or monitor chemical substances according to regulation requirements and/or known risks. In our
CSL, we label substances with known harmful effects on health and the environment as 'Risk Level
II'. This classification requires action to minimize exposure and emissions. For our chemical
reduction program ending in 2020, we used the 2015 CSL. In 2021, we began a new 5-year
program with an updated CSL that includes many more chemicals. As a result, the 2021 figures are
significantly higher than those in 2020 due to global protocol advancements. In 2024, we
continued our efforts to adopt safer chemicals, reducing exposure to carcinogenic, mutagenic, and
reprotoxic hazards at our industrial sites. The hazardous substances emissions amounted to 1,216
kg in 2024, which is a 6% reduction compared to the 1,300 kg in 2023. In the Diagnosis &
Treatment segment the emissions increased by 3% due to the repair activities in US sites. The
emissions in the Connected Care segment amounted 708 kg, which is a 9% reduction compared
to the prior year caused by replacing harmful chemicals and lower production volumes. In the
Personal Health segment the hazardous substances emissions were 345 kg in 2024, 5% reduction
compared to 2023.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) can easily become airborne, leading to health issues. Through
photochemical reactions with carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (NOx), VOCs form ground-
level ozone. This ozone is capable of traveling long distances, impacting remote areas and
ecosystems.
To address this, Philips is implementing low-VOC processes and alternatives, alongside enhanced
collection and treatment methods, to achieve emission reductions. The Personal Health site in
Indonesia has installed an efficient VOC treatment facility, successfully reducing annual emissions
by over 7 tonnes in 2024. This reduction was achieved through a well-designed system for
collecting and treating emissions from the painting processes. Additionally, low-VOC cleaning
materials have been sourced, tested, and implemented across other sites, following strict internal
validation.
VOC emissions decreased by 7% in 2024, to 69 tonnes compared to 74 tonnes in 2023. The
Personal Health businesses, which represent 39% of total VOC emissions, decreased by 24% due
to effective control of waste air treatment improvement in Asia sites. VOC emissions in the
Connected Care businesses remains at the same low level. VOC emissions at the Diagnosis &
Treatment business units (representing 51% of total VOC emissions) increased by 12%, mainly
driven by the cleaning activities for hygiene purposes in our site in Costa Rica.
ISO 14001 certification
The Philips manufacturing sites are certified individually by external certification bodies. In 2024,
100% of reporting manufacturing sites were certified. Plymouth site achieve the certificate in 2024.
Smaller sites are required to maintain environmental management systems while external
certification is not mandatory.

investigations and remedial actions.
No environmental incidents nor non-compliances were reported at Connected Care sites.
In Personal Health, two sites reported two environmental incidents. One incident was due to a
wastewater leakage in the past year, where immediate actions were taken. There was no
groundwater pollution, although minor contamination was detected on the upper soil. The
remediation was closed in 2024. The other incident was due to fires near to one of our factories.
Considerable amounts of water were consumed, addressing both air and water concerns in the
affected area.

Philips’ Environmental data for operations methodology:
All environmental data from manufacturing operations, except process chemicals, are reported on a
monthly basis in our sustainability reporting and validation tool, according to company guidelines
that include definitions, procedures and calculation methods. Process chemicals are reported on a
half-yearly basis.
These environmental data from manufacturing are tracked and reported to measure progress
against our Sustainable Operations targets.
Data on emissions of substances are based on measurements and estimates at manufacturing site
level. The basis of preparation is data submitted by our environmental coordinators at our
manufacturing sites, which is validated and consolidated by Group Sustainability.
Reporting on ISO 14001 certification is based on manufacturing units reporting in the sustainability
reporting system.

EU Taxonomy disclosures
The aim of the European Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852), including the delegated acts
adopted thereunder, is to provide companies, investors and policymakers with appropriate criteria
for determining which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable, and it
requires companies to report on how and to what extent their activities are associated with such
‘taxonomy-eligible activities’. The Taxonomy Regulation is relatively new and still under
development (e.g. changes to the first Delegated Act, changes in presentation format), leaving still
significant uncertainties around its phased implementation.
The Taxonomy Regulation provides certain conditions for taxonomy alignment. Among others, the
relevant activity must substantially contribute to one or more of the following six environmental
objectives (while not significantly harming any of the others):
• Climate change mitigation
• Climate change adaptation
• The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
• The transition to a circular economy
• Pollution prevention and control
• The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems
The delegated acts adopted under the Taxonomy Regulation provide technical screening criteria
which must also be met to constitute taxonomy alignment. In 2023, the second Delegated Act was
published concerning activities significantly contributing to environmental objectives 3-6 above.
The t axonomy framework provisions effective on the date of this Annual Report require Philips to
disclose the proportion of its taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned activities (described in any
delegated act adopted to date) and non-eligible and non-aligned economic activities in its total turnover,
capital and operational expenditure, as well as certain qualitative information for environmental
objectives 1-6. We used the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 as supplemented with Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2022/1214, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485 and Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 to identify activities that are eligible.
Consequently, 99.5% of Philips’ revenues were eligible under these delegated acts during 2024. All
remaining revenues were non-eligible (0.5%). We assessed the substantial contribution criteria and the
do no significant harm criteria related to our revenue related eligible economic activities. None of our
revenues were aligned, mainly due to the substantial contribution criteria and the strict criteria in Annex
C. Although we received waivers for using specific substances (as there currently are no alternatives for
these substances) we are not aligned with Appendix C. We used delegated act (EU) 2021/2178,
2023/2485 and 2023/2486 for the definition and calculation of the taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-
alignment percentages. Revenue is calculated based on ’Sales’ as per Consolidated statements of
income.
Reportable taxonomy-eligible capital expenditures in 2024 amounted to EUR 688.56 million, or 69.0%
of total capital expenditure (non-eligible capital expenditures 31.0%). Some other (enabling) Philips
activities are included in the delegated act (EU) 2021/2139 and are eligible for capital expenditures for
the objective of climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation to be reported over 2024. We
therefore assessed our capital expenditure, and identified relevant activities mainly related to our real
estate portfolio. For these activities, capital expenditures are determined based on the 2024 additions to
property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and additions to right-of-use assets, excluding any re-
assessments (refer to Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets excluding goodwill).
Reportable taxonomy-aligned capital expenditures in 2024 amounted to EUR 3 million, or 0.3% of total
capital expenditure (non-aligned capital expenditures 99.7%), and mainly related to energy efficiency
improvement measures in our buildings (installation, maintenance, and repair of energy efficiency
equipment), such as energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) in various
locations around the world. Next, we invested in onsite renewable electricity generation (installation,
maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies) by installing PV (solar) panels.
We assessed compliance with the criteria set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and the
associated technical screening criteria on a project basis.
Similar to capital expenditures, we screened (EU) 2021/2139 for relevant operational expenditure
activities. Total operational expenditures are determined based on the 2024 non-capitalized costs that
relate to research and development, building renovation, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and
any other direct expenditures relating to day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment.
Reportable taxonomy-eligible operational expenditures in 2024 amounted to EUR 1,918 million, or
85.7% of total operational expenditures expenditure (non-eligible operational expenditures 14.3%), In
2024, we did not record reportable taxonomy-aligned operational expenditures (0%), as for example,
the sourcing of renewable energy is not included in the Taxonomy. Non-aligned operational
expenditures were 100%.

8.5 Social information
This section provides additional information on (some of) the Social performance parameters
reported in Social .
The Lives Improved model helps us to track our performance on a country-by-country basis in line
with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, allowing us to shape strategies to ensure healthy lives
and promote well-being for all at all.
Management of key material people topics (Impacts, Risks and Opportunities)
We depend on our people to deliver on our business strategy and our commitments to our
customers, patients and consumers and therefore place a lot of importance on managing the risks
and opportunities that pertain to our own workforce.
We identify key impacts, risks, and opportunities around social topics, which inform our Business
and People strategy through the DMA process, tracking our performance in key material topics, as
well as through our engagement with our people. In 2024, we identified (potential) negative
impacts related to Health & Safety and Human Rights. For programs which Philips developed to
prevent and mitigate material negative impacts please refer to the polices and programs described
in this section. Philips did not identify any incidents of child labor and forced labor. The attraction
and retention of talented employees is critical to Philips’ success, and the loss of employees with
specialized skills could result in business interruptions. Philips continuously assesses capability gaps
for its key positions and has initiatives in place to close any employee capability gaps. For further
information, please refer to Double Materiality Assessment .
Policies, metrics and targets
Our commitments to our people are observed in accordance with our General Business Principles,
Speak Up, Human Rights, Health & Safety, Fair Employment and Diversity & Inclusion policies
(available on our ESG website (link) as well as on our intranet for employees). Our policies apply to
workers employed by Philips (through a permanent or temporary contract, employed ‘at will’, or
through an employment scheme/WGP) and to ‘other workers’ (which includes contingent workers
(hired via an agency), interns, as well as contractors and their respective employees).
The Philips Fair Employment Policy details the ethical and social principles that govern the
company’s relationship with its employees and other workers worldwide. The policy promotes
transparency, accountability, and a positive work environment and is aimed at creating a fair and
equal workplace. In accordance with conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), we
are committed to be free from forced, bonded and child labor, which extends to human trafficking
in line with our Human Rights commitments. The policy helps create an environment of inclusion
and belonging, where all employees and other workers are treated fairly, free from discrimination,
harassment, and other prohibited behaviors. In accordance with the Fair Employment policy, we
provide all employees with fair and equal development opportunities. It is further supported by the
Philips Diversity & Inclusion Policy which is aimed to act on our commitment to an inclusive
workplace for our employees and other workers that reflects the diversity of our community. We
do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity or expression,
sexual orientation or identity, marital status, language, background, religion, health status,
pregnancy, political or other opinions, disability, national or social origin/birth or any other status in
our recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, compensation or employment practices.
The key Social topics in relation to our own workforce are addressed at a global level in line with
our global policies, and managed locally in line with local regulations and labor law practices. As
such, we uphold employee rights and health & safety ensuring compliance with local legislation in
countries where we employ workers. We foster a fair & inclusive workplace as well as employee
well-being through targeted actions discussed in Diversity, Inclusion and Well-Being, subject to local
rules and regulations as they may vary from time to time and between different geographies.
Moreover, we provide all employees with at least a Living Wage (Living Wage and Adequate
Wage), and monitor the gender pay gap (Equal opportunities and equal pay). With regards to
talent & development, all employees are provided with fair and equal opportunities to develop their
skills, and to realize their full potential through on-the-job training, learning from others (such as
through coaching and mentoring) and virtual and classroom courses. More information on our
approach to building a Workforce of the Future including both Early Career talent and Leaders
along the employee journey from talent attraction and onboarding through career development
and learning hours can be found in Workforce of the future. Furthermore, local programs such as
WGP in the Netherlands (see Building employability), Employee volunteering and refugee hiring (see
Workforce of the future) are examples of how we drive social inclusion & engagement.
As part of the ESG Commitments, Philips set targets around improving people’s lives, paying all
employees at least a living wage, and gender diversity in senior management. These targets reflect
aspirational goals that apply globally, but may be impacted by conflicting local laws or regulations.
The process to set these targets included:
• Reviewing Philips existing targets and performance. All stakeholders are able to acquire insight
into Philips targets and the tracking of Philips performance against these via the Philips results
hub.
• Engaging with stakeholders who have insights into Philips such as customers (representatives of
consumers and end-users) and reviewing their inputs to give consideration to their interests. For
further information on how stakeholders are engaged, please refer to Working with
stakeholders and advocacy.
• Reviewing local rules and regulations, international standards and frameworks such as the World
Economic Forum International Business Council Common Metrics and Global Reporting
Initiative. Then mapping these against Philips Environmental, Social, and Governance dimensions
and ambitions.
• Reviewing and where needed further developing methodologies for potential targets.
The Philips Executive Committee decides on targets.
For an overview of the metrics and targets please refer to our commitments table.

8.5.1 Own workforce
In this section we describe the relevant topics for our own workforce in line with our people
strategy, with a focus on actions and results. Relevant methodologies and assumptions have been
included.
Note IV Workforce of the future
As reflected in our ESG commitments, we aim to be the best place to work for our employees,
providing opportunities for learning and development, promoting an inclusive workplace, and
assuring a safe and healthy work environment. Our commitments to our people are observed in
accordance with our General Business Principles, Speak Up, Human Rights, Occupational Health &
Safety, Fair Employment, and Diversity & Inclusion policies.
We continued our Total Workforce Strategy, which considers all sources of skills, capabilities,
locations and changes in the labor market in order to deliver the Workforce of the Future. Globally,
we work with different worker types: employees and contingent workers, as well external services.
In 2024, we further focused on the implementation of our external workforce strategy. In addition,
we have been looking at how we are attracting contingent workforce talent. Direct sourcing has
been expanded to 26% in the Netherlands and to 40% in the US, and has been rolled out to India
(11%). To strengthen the way we directly source contingent workforce talent, our own Philips
employer value proposition is utilized for the different functions to attract these contingent
workers.
Total Workforce Strategy
We use our Right Shoring & Sourcing methodology to implement the Total Workforce Strategy.
This methodology steers improvements in workforce composition towards the ‘right
shore’ (onshore, nearshore and offshore) and the ‘right source’ (employees, contingent workers
and external services). The program delivered EUR 7 million in savings in 2024.
To develop the workforce that can deliver our strategy we have a Strategic Priorities recruitment
team who focus on the R&D, Patient Safety & Quality, Clinical and Informatics roles critical to our
success. Together, in 2024, they delivered 1,555 roles. In all of our external recruitment we secured
38% candidates with Medical Technology expertise.
Talent attraction
In 2024, we continued to recruit the talent we need to deliver our strategy, filling 11,391 positions
across the organization, of which 30% were internal hires. For external recruitment our strategic
hiring channels of Direct Sourcing (headhunting) and Referrals delivered 33% of our new joiners to
Philips.
Through collaboration with the Tent Partnership for Refugees, we continue to offer opportunities
to refugees across our operations. In 2024, we hired 120 refugees across the globe including the
first hires in the US, and we kicked off this refugee program roll-out in Mexico. We have been
continuing Tent’s Mentorship Program for Hispanic Refugees in the US and the Refugee Women in
the US and EMEA.
2024 saw a further strengthening of our strategic Employer Branding efforts, alongside an
expanded approach to Talent Marketing that now holistically addresses talent engagement.
Externally, we advanced our talent attraction strategy through targeted media campaigns focused
on critical talent segments and strategic capabilities such as Tech, Sales & Commercial, and Quality
& Regulatory professionals. These efforts resulted in a 62% increase in unique visitors to our
Careers website per job posting, and a 43% boost in applications per job requisition compared to
2023.
Our ongoing employer branding content program continued across multiple channels, reinforcing
our position as a purpose-driven health technology company dedicated to patient safety, quality,
and sustainability. This helped us solidify our reputation as an equal-opportunity employer of
choice. Notably, our marketing metrics showed double-digit growth in interest and favorability
toward our employer brand compared to the previous year.
On LinkedIn, our key media channel, by leveraging personal stories and emotionally resonant video
content, we established a distinctive, people-centric positioning that vividly showcases our culture
of impact with care for people, patients, and the planet.
In recognition of our efforts, we were honored at the 2024 Employer Brand Management Awards
for best aligning our Employer Value Proposition with our corporate brand values.

Early Career Talent
Our Philips-wide Graduate Development Program (GDP) focuses on growing our people and
increased from 40 participants in 2021 to 91 in 2024. The GDP lasts two years, and includes two
job rotations, as well as offering the graduates a comprehensive learning and development track,
and access to career centers to help guide future steps.
Philips also gave meaningful work experience to 2,111 interns, offering 330 of them permanent
employment after their internship.
Onboarding
At Philips, we welcome thousands of new employees every year. We understand the significance of
ensuring that our colleagues feel a profound sense of belonging and clarity about their roles right
from the start. To achieve this, we have crafted designed a digitally enhanced onboarding
approach, tailored for both new hires and internal movers.
Our people leaders and their teams play an important role in the onboarding experience. Our new
employees consistently highlight this as the most valuable aspect of their onboarding journey. To
bolster this approach, we offer support to our people leaders through comprehensive capability-
building programs and toolkits. We firmly believe that onboarding is not just a process, but a key
leadership accountability.
In 2024, we kept reinforcing our mandatory quality and clinical education that every new hire
receives, underscoring our unwavering commitment to patient safety and quality. Of those who
joined Philips in 2024, 90% reported a positive onboarding experience, and 95% felt genuinely
welcome here.
Our onboarding practices reflect our dedication to nurturing a dynamic and inclusive workplace,
enabling our new team members to thrive in their roles.
Career development
We see our talent as our most differentiating enterprise asset. We intend to enable everyone to
thrive at Philips, and we recognize that it is important to invest in strategic capabilities, and for both
leaders and employees to share accountability for career development. We expect our leaders to
scout for talent, develop people and upgrade capabilities, so that we can continue to build a
diverse, future-oriented workforce where inclusion is key, and transparent, ongoing feedback
enables all our people to grow.
We support our people in navigating their own career and stimulate our managers to have
meaningful career dialogues with their people. We have embedded this systematically in our People
function processes and initiatives to reinforce this across the spectrum of employee life cycle,
providing cohesive and in-time support as needed. Below are some highlights:
• Providing employees as well as people leaders with playbooks, toolkits and development
resources to help accelerate their careers and develop in their current or aspiring roles.
• Embedding continuous feedback through regular check-ins and feedback tools so employees are
more aware of areas they are doing well in and areas they need to develop in. Both employees
and people leaders are provided with continuous training on providing and receiving feedback.
• Deploying an AI-based digital talent marketplace within Philips, giving employees the
opportunity to build their skills in new areas outside of their core jobs.
• Providing Development Centers to identify talent and options to develop using mentoring,
coaching, and just-in-time support using both internally and externally.
• Supporting onboarding for new employees as well as onboarding for key segments such as
people leaders and executives to help them integrate faster.
• Providing access to technology-enabled self-paced learning and best-in-class learning content by
enabling online platforms such as LinkedIn Learning as well as supporting external education
and certifications.
• Enabling skill building for our People leaders on key skills such as coaching and continuous
feedback to ensure that the People leaders are equipped to support their team members.
• In order to build leadership accountability, in 2024 our people leaders had a specific goal on
people development, clearly defining the expectation to develop their teams and show them
career opportunities at Philips by nominating them to succession plans.
Our People Performance Management focuses on both ‘what’ we achieve (goals and key areas of
responsibilities) and ‘how’ we achieve these goals. This more balanced view of performance drives
holistic conversations between employees and managers throughout the year, with regular check-
ins for feedback and development built in along the way. In 2024, 86% of our employees were
involved in regular performance and career development reviews. We see a difference in the
percentage of men and women involved in the PPM process due to a higher number of women in
the role of production line workers. These roles are excluded from the online PPM process due to
the nature of the role and contractual agreements. Performance assessment typically happens
through locally established KPIs.

We continue to stimulate cross-moves (across Businesses, between Zones or Functions) to promote
collaboration and give people challenging learning experiences. During the recent reorganization,
we largely staffed senior leadership positions with internal talent, with a specific focus on cross-
functional talent pipelining.

Leadership
We believe leaders drive culture, which drives performance. In 2024, we empowered our leaders to
ignite our refreshed culture of impact with care in their teams. We recognized the responsibility
and challenges they face – our endeavor is to support them, and we do so by:
• Clarifying and simplifying expectations.
• Streamlining communication to them, with clear call to action.
• Building their capability through skill building programs, coaching, self-paced learning paths,
and bite-sized modules and a playbook for developing high performing teams. We hosted
dedicated workshops to onboard and upskill leaders on our refreshed culture and gave them
‘freedom in a frame’ to bring this to life in their teams.
• Continuing to invest in our high potential leaders through refreshed Talent Acceleration
programs. These programs are multi-month, immersive learning experiences that aim to
accelerate the development of our top performing leaders to the next level as well as create a
future-ready pipeline of leaders, tuned to the needs of the company. We covered over 200 of
our top leaders on critical succession plans through these programs for this year.
In return, we hold our leaders accountable for role modeling in the culture, developing their people
and driving performance in their teams and we developed and launched short modules to build
deeper capability in change, care, and engagement.
Learning
Philips is dedicated to fostering a culture of learning and growth that empowers our people to do
their jobs better, advance in their careers, and live our 'Impact with Care' culture every day. In
2024, we continued our efforts to ensure that learning is seamlessly integrated into the overall
talent ecosystem, positioning it as a key driver of employee retention, engagement, and enhanced
employee experience.
Our learning and development agenda focused on providing opportunities for employees to
acquire the skills and experiences that align with both personal career growth and the strategic
needs of the business. Building on our transformation of Philips University into a comprehensive
Capability Development Platform, we emphasized experience-based career development,
empowering our employees to lead with confidence and drive results.
Continuing our strategy of offering a ‘digital first’ employee experience, we expanded our
investments in digital learning solutions that enable personal, team, and organizational growth.
Through improved data analytics and simplified ways of working, we consistently align our learning
offerings with the evolving needs of our business and workforce.
By the end of 2024, 580,370 trainings were completed through Philips University (internal platform
only) resulting in a total of 727,364 training hours. The course completed by the largest number of
employees was the General Business Principles 2024.
By the end of 2024, 3,013,163 trainings were completed through Quality Management Learning
(internal platform only), with a total of 2,436,765 training hours. These training completions relate
to our emphasis, via training deployments, on Patient Safety and Quality-related topics, and
represent training for all our employees who work on our Philips products or related services.
Courses completed by the largest number of employees in the Quality Management Learning
domain include Philips Patient Safety and Quality Essentials, Complaints and Customer Feedback
Awareness.
For Philips in total, 3,593,533 trainings were completed with a total of 3,164,130 training hours,
resulting in an average number of training hours of 47,5 per employee.

Philips training and performance metrics methodology:
Employees are defined as Philips payroll employees, excluding contingent workers, interns, long
term leavers, Heartfelt Program workers in Japan, WGP workers in the Netherlands, and vendor
FTEs; including FTEs at newly acquired companies.
The data for performance reviews is prepared using Workday reports. The participation in
performance reviews is calculated based on eligibility for participation in the online process in
Workday as agreed by management. This enables us to track this figure more accurately.
Training hours data is prepared using consolidated reporting from our four learning systems.

Note V Diversity, Inclusion and Well-Being
We are a diverse team made up of 68,419 individuals across over 70 countries, all with different
backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. We fully value and leverage these differences to
ensure that creativity and innovation can flourish.
In our ongoing effort to increase transparency and develop leadership through non-discriminatory
means, we share data on the representation of women throughout our Businesses, Regions and
Functions, including a quarterly review with the Executive Committee. We closely monitor the
inflow, advancement and outflow of talent, as well as their engagement and employee experience
via our bi-annual Philips Employee Survey, which makes it possible to customize goals and intervene
where appropriate. We continue important initiatives that address psychological safety, health and

well-being, inclusion and equal employment opportunities. Through these initiatives we further
embed our ambition to be an equal-opportunity employer, offering an inclusive work place to a
diverse workforce to drive our business and innovation, and mirror the diversity of our worldwide
customer base.
Diverse representation of talent
Philips aims to have 35% of senior management positions held by women, by the end of 2025.
The achievement of this globally applying aspirational goal may be impacted by conflicting local
rules and regulations.
Philips Group
Trend for % of women in senior management positions

Year | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024
% of women in senior management positions | 27% | 28% | 30% | 31% | 33%

Senior management positions (including senior directors and executives) amount to 1,105
employees, 361 women (33%), 744 men (67%) at the end of 2024. At year-end, one out of three
members of the Board of Management was female, with five out of thirteen members of the
Executive Committee being female. On the date of this report, composition of the Board of
Management had not changed, while (upon the announced retirement of Edwin Paalvast) seven
out of fourteen members of the Executive Committee will be female.
The below graph shows employee headcount by gender. At Philips, employees are registered as
female or male, or can choose not to disclose their gender, to reflect requirements of the countries
we operate in.

At Philips, we aim for a multi-generational workforce, as a key factor to foster creativity,
productivity and innovation. The different life experiences of a multi-generational workforce allows
us to include diverse perspectives and points of view in our collaborative decision-making.
Philips Group
Employees by age group

To support an inclusive culture, we monitor the demographics of our workforce, including
employees that identify as having a disability. This enables us to understand where we are
underrepresented as compared to industry and regional standards and to allow for accommodation
as needed at our work locations. Persons with disabilities are defined as persons who have long-
term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers
may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. At year-
end 2024, 3% of our employees have disclosed a disability either through self-identification or
validation by a medical professional. This percentage only includes countries where it is legally
allowed to collect and disclose data on persons with disabilities.
Global Diversity Council
Our Global Diversity Council is comprised of 10 senior leaders representing our Businesses, Regions
and Functions. The Council provides governance and oversight on diversity efforts, sponsors our
Employee Resource Groups, promotes company-wide behavior change, and communicates on
progress.
Commitment to non-discriminatory practices
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide an inclusive space for employees to support and care for
one another, develop skills, experience meaningful cultural connections, expand their knowledge,
all while strengthening relationships among the Philips community. Philips currently has 12 ERGs
globally that are open to all, with over 10,000 employees participating. We monitor compliance
with local rules and regulations, as they may change from time to time, including, for example,
with regard to leadership development through nondiscriminatory means.
Health & Well-being
In 2024, we evolved our (mental) health and well-being framework to incorporate two additional
pillars of well-being – career and environmental – enhancing our holistic approach and integrating
global and local programs. We continued to address mental health by further rolling out the
Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
We grew our Mental Health Champion program to over 400 Champions across the globe,
providing accredited training for peer-to-peer confidential support. We developed compassionate
leadership training for all our people managers, as well as encouraging dialogues around self-care,
building trust and resilience.

| 220 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Along with International Women’s Day, PRIDE and International Day of People with Disability,
Philips also recognized self-care month and World Mental Health Day, with a variety of virtual
mental well-being sessions and resilience practices that engaged employees across our Regions. In
collaboration with Philips University, the Philips Energy Management well-being program was
further extended across the organization.
Work-life balance
At Philips, we realize the positive effects that family-related leave programs have on employee
engagement, retention, well-being, and productivity. It provides a structured and approved period
for employees to temporarily step away from their work responsibilities to create more work-life
balance. This break allows them to focus on their family’s needs, particularly in the crucial early
stages of parenthood. Family-related leave leads to improved employee morale and helps us to
reach our gender ambitions.
Philips adheres to the local legislation and regulations when defining and capturing entitlement and
usage of family-related leave. The overarching definition states family-related leave includes
maternity leave, paternity leave, parental leave, and carers’ leave that is available under national
law, collective agreements or other policies and regulations.
99.5% of our employees are entitled to take family-related leave, defined as those who are covered
by regulations, organizational policies, agreements, contracts or collective bargaining agreements
that contain family-related leave entitlements. Data from the top 10 countries (by employee
headcount) was collected and used to estimate the total number of entitled employees that took
family-related leave, based on geographical (regional) variables. Using this method may not
adequately represent the diversity of leave practices across all countries in each region and may
lead to data inaccuracy. However, as employees in the top 10 countries account for 83% of all
employees, this risk is limited. Based on described estimations, 7% of the entitled employees (8%
women and 6% men) took family-related leave in 2024.
External awards
Many stakeholders—including customers, potential partners, and employees—view third-party
assessments as valuable, objective indicators. This past year we were honored with awards
recognizing our efforts in Inclusive Culture, Gender Diversity, and Human Rights Equality. Our
achievements in 2024 included prestigious accolades such as Forbes Best Employers for Women,
Forbes World’s Best Employer, Financial Times Best Employer for Diversity, and a top rating on the
Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. These recognitions underscore our ongoing
dedication to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace.
External partnerships
As we continue to focus on integrating inclusion, belonging and equity into the employee
experience, we see value in partnering with diverse professional network organizations and job
boards to sharpen our focus on the development and retention of our internal diverse talent and
increasing representation of diverse talent across our organization. In 2024, we renewed a
partnership with the National Black MBA Association and introduced partnerships with the National
Sales Network, Circa, Mogul and Rise and Lead.

Philips diversity metrics methodology:
Philips prepares diversity metrics (gender in senior management and age distribution) using the
Philips employee definition, in line with the ESRS definition of employees, and Workday reports.
Philips defines senior management as Corporate Grade 90 (senior director) and above, which does
not differ from previous description. Philips defines management as Corporate Grade 80 (director)
and Corporate Grade 90 (senior director). The distribution of employees by age group is split into
three categories: under 30 years old; 30-50 years old; over 50 years old.
Persons with disability uses the Philips employee definition, in line with the ESRS definition of
employees. Disability data is collected manually in countries where we operate with headcount. In
some countries disability is registered through self-identification, while in others it is registered with
medical documentation. Philips adheres to the local legislation and regulations when defining,
registering and disclosing information on persons with disabilities among employees, as well as
when setting local strategies and targets. Due to the localized nature of the metric, there is no
consistent global process in place to collect or validate the data, and official medical records are not
a requirement across all countries.
Work-life balance data is collected manually in countries where we operate with headcount and
uses Philips employee definition, in line with the ESRS definition of employees. Work-life balance
data on entitled employees who took family-related leave is collected from our largest countries by
headcount and further estimated.

Note VI Employee engagement
Our People Engagement Survey (PES) saw increased participation, leading to a response rate of
84%, which means that almost 58,000 employees participated.
The PES is a key component of our listening strategy, informing our Business and People strategy
on employee sentiment and potential impacts, risks and opportunities. The results are taken up by
the Executive Committee and further cascaded for follow-up actions in their organizations and
teams, informing how we work and areas in need of attention.
Despite the ongoing changes within the organization, we observed a positive trend in the
Employee Engagement Index, with an increase of 5% to 78% in 2024. While this improvement is
encouraging and indicates that the organization is adapting well to the changes, it is worth noting
that this figure is still 2% below the high performance norm.

Philips Group
Employee Engagement Index

| 2022 | 2023 | 2024
Favorable | 77% | 73% | 78%
Neutral | 15% | 17% | 15%
Unfavorable | 8% | 10% | 7%

In a changing environment, we listened actively to our employees to provide them with greater
clarity on future direction and enable them to proactively deal with change to meet our customer
and patient needs. In 2024 we continued our specific focus on Patient Safety and Quality and with
this continued focus the engagement on this key topic continues to grow. Patient safety and
quality is our license to operate, and we continue embedding this culture in everything we do. The
organizational shifts made as part of our plan to create value have also boosted confidence in our
ability to effectively support customers.
Using the Customer Experience Index, we look at how well employees think we focus on customer
needs. These inputs are actively exchanged with the Customer Experience team.
Our employee engagement is primarily driven by a clear understanding of our customer needs and
delivering on commitments that we make to each other. The results of the PES indicate that
employees feel they can be themselves and have trusting relationships at work. Another significant
factor driving engagement is our high scores on the Diversity & Inclusion index, which is around the
industry benchmark.
The PES represents interests and views of employees and is analyzed by various demographic
groups to ensure consideration of underrepresented groups: leadership levels, geographic location,
gender, Business Units/Regions/Functions, and tenure, as well as corporate grades. The survey is
sent to all Philips employees

Philips Employee Engagement Index (EEI) calculation methodology:
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.
Employee Engagement is measured by four statements on a five-point scale that are widely used in
the industry. Favorable is % strongly agree + % agree, neutral is % neutral, and unfavorable is %
disagree + % strongly disagree.
The reported figures are based on the Employee Engagement Survey. The total score for employee
engagement is an average of the quarterly results of the survey. The results are calculated by taking
the average of the answered questions of the surveys.

Note VII Equal opportunities and equal pay
At Philips, we continue our commitment to being an equal-opportunity employer, ensuring that
hiring, promotions, and pay decisions are based on merit, qualifications and performance. Labor
rates and pay for manual workers across the globe are carefully monitored to align with, and ideally
exceed, the living wage for each country or region. This approach reflects a commitment to fairness
and equal worth, recognizing that every worker deserves compensation that supports a decent
standard of living, covering essentials like housing, food, healthcare, and education (see Living
Wage and Adequate Wage). By prioritizing local living wage standards, we aim to foster economic
equity and respect the diverse economic conditions of different regions while valuing the
contributions of our workers as vital members of the global workforce.
Pay rates for manufacturing workers differ globally due to variations in economic development,
labor market conditions, and cost of living. Countries with advanced economies and higher living
standards often result in higher wages, driven by robust labor protections, union influence, and
demand for skilled workers. In countries that are usually industrialized economies, wages tend to
be lower, reflecting a balance between industrial growth and lower labor costs. These differences
underscore the complex interplay of global economics, local market forces, and the value placed on
labor.
2024 is the first year Philips is publishing an unadjusted gender pay gap. This measure represents
the overall difference in average hourly earnings between men and women, without adjusting for
factors like job role, experience, education, hours worked, or country of employment. It is
calculated by comparing the average hourly pay for men to the average hourly pay for women,
across the various employee groups (see next table). This measure highlights disparities in earnings
across groups but does not explain the reasons behind them.
The 3-year gender pay gap figures show a consistent trend across different grade groupings. The
unadjusted pay gap is highest in the Staff grouping, increasing from 24% in 2022 to 29% in 2024.
As this number represents an average over all countries, having a higher proportion of male Staff in
countries with a higher cost of living and average pay would cause a pay gap in the statistics. The
increase in the unadjusted pay gap in the Staff grouping is caused by the fact that the relative
portion of female employees in higher cost of living countries has decreased. When we look at the
unadjusted pay gap in the Staff grouping on a country-by-country basis, we see that the pay gap
remains approximately flat over the years. The ‘Staff’ category typically refers to workers engaged
in manual labor, often within important areas such as manufacturing. These roles are essential to
building, sustaining and maintaining our products, and their work is characterized by its hands-on,
skill-based nature.
The Professional and Management grade groupings have maintained relatively low pay gaps of 2%
and 1% over the three years. The Executive grade grouping saw the pay gap decreasing to 2% in
2024.

*EY did not provide assurance over the comparative information presented
The overall pay gap across all grade groupings slightly improvement to 14% in 2024.
Encouragingly, the pay gap in the Management and Executive grade groupings remains relatively
low, reflecting progress toward greater gender parity at higher-grade levels. We are working to
identify and address the root causes for the remaining gaps, and to decrease and even close them
over time.

Philips pay equity disclosures methodology:
Next to the gender pay gap, we also report on the pay ratio between the highest paid individual
and the median employee (see 5-year development of CEO and BoM versus average employee
remuneration costs compared to company performance).
Both the gender pay gap data and median data is prepared using Workday reports. For the median
data, Workday data serves as a base and includes bonus pay, annualized estimates, and estimates
for benefits in cash and benefits in kind. We perform a deep-dive on the median employee. Both of
these metrics are based on the Philips employee definition in line with the ESRS definition of
employees.

Note VIII Living Wage and Adequate Wage
One of our key ESG commitments is to pay our employees at least a living wage. 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, healthcare,
transport, clothing, and other essential needs, including provision for unexpected events”.
Based on the Living Wage analysis conducted for 2024, all Philips employees received wages and
benefits that are consistent with at least the minimum Living Wage standard for an individual.
Furthermore, approximately 98% of Philips employees received wages and benefits that are
consistent with at least the minimum Living Wage standard for a family (based on reference data
from WageIndicator).
The Adequate Wage is a concept defined in disclosure requirement S1-10 in the ESRS S1 as “A
wage that provides for the satisfaction of the needs of the worker and his / her family in the light
of national economic and social conditions.” Philips also conducted a comparison of employee
wages against the relevant Adequate Wage reference data, while following the principles outlined
by the relevant articles in ESRS disclosure requirement S1-10 as closely as possible. The outcome is
that Philips pays all employees at least an Adequate Wage.

Philips living and adequate wage methodology:
Living wage data is determined by comparing data from WageIndicator and Workday.
The adequate wage analysis is performed using employee payroll data. The adequate wage
threshold is determined by assessing established existing international, national or sub-national
legislation, official norms or collective agreements, based on an assessment of a wage level needed
for a decent standard of living; any national or sub-national minimum wage established by
legislation or collective bargaining; and/or Wage Indicator benchmarks.

Note IX Employee volunteering
Employees at Philips are entitled to 8 hours or one full day of paid time off to volunteer, once a
year. This can be with a local community project or an established non-governmental organization
whose work can impact access to healthcare. Some Regions also encourage employees to support
corporate social responsibility projects which are typically outlined in local volunteering policies.
Examples in 2024 include:
• Germany : In Hamburg, 70 Philips employees and 60 other volunteers planted 3,150 native trees
and shrub seedlings, covering 1,050 square meters. This initiative is expected to become a self-
sustaining forest by 2026.
• India: Philips employees engaged in various CSR activities, including fulfilling over 1,000
children’s wishes through ’The Philips Wish Tree’, donating blood, supporting heart surgeries for
children, conducting a Telemedicine Drive, and partnering for pediatric heart surgeries.
• Japan : Philips Japan participated in the Yamathon Charity Event, walking the 30 stations of the
JR Yamanote Line within 12 hours, raising significant funds for a children’s hospice. Additionally,
our employees made efforts towards sustainability, reducing office amenity use and fuel
consumption.

Note X Building employability
At Philips, our goal to offer the best place to work for people who share our passion is not limited
to employees on our payroll. In the Netherlands, for example, we run a special employment
program, WGP (Werkgelegenheidsplan, or Philips Employment Scheme), to offer vulnerable groups
of external jobseekers a work experience placement, usually combined with training. Since the
scheme’s launch in 1983, 13,475 people have participated, and around 80% found a regular job
after taking part. In 2024, we had an inflow of 60 candidates, bringing the total number of
participants in 2024 to 118. The WGP program is also accessible to refugees, and in 2024 we had 9
refugees participating.
Note XI Health and Safety
Outlook 2025-2030
The value of safety at work is changing, in light of the growing importance and corporate
recognition of environment, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability; mental and physical
well-being; psychological safety and human and organizational performance. The health and safety
of our people is core to Philips purpose. Our culture of “Impact with care for patients, people, and
the planet” starts with taking care of ourselves and each other. Our purpose is to improve people’s
health and well-being, and therefore, we value a safe work environment and the health and well-
being of our employees. As we strive to look after the physical and mental health of our people,
the H&S Leadership team embarked on a learning journey for further improvement in 2024. The
team conducted a thorough review of internal and external H&S audit findings, conducted
interviews with a wide range of stakeholders in the company, carried out SWOT analysis, and
reviewed and prioritized key focus areas. This information was used to develop a H&S strategic
roadmap 2025-2030.
In 2024, the following key strategic programs were identified to drive further execution to our
vision:
• Leadership-led safety culture to further drive accountability and ownership for people safety.
• Standardization and simplification of Philips’ Corporate Safety Standards (PCSS) to allow for
prioritized risk management and consistent implementation of H&S minimum requirements
worldwide. This includes providing guidance notes, templates, best practices, training
documents and work instructions.
• Safety by Design to integrate health and safety requirements from the start, considering people
and ergonomic aspects during the manufacturing, transportation, installation and maintenance
phases.
• Design and rollout of an Environment, Health and Safety digital platform with advanced
performance reporting and analytics to inform decision making. The platform will cover the
following modules: incident management, concern reporting, action planning, chemicals
management, risk management and audit.
These programs will be further supported by strengthening our risk management programs,
compliance assurance, employee participation, health promotion, and competence management.
Policies, Procedures and Management Systems: Philips continued to build a comprehensive
global Health & Safety Management System with the deployment of 11 updated Philips Corporate
Safety Standards (PCSS) in 2024. The Health & Safety (H&S) framework was further streamlined,
leading to the deployment of 64 PCSS by the end of 2024, compared with 66 in 2023. The PCSS
are supported with training materials in Philips University and Guidance Notes. The Occupational
Health & Safety Policy was reviewed and published in December 2024. Its main objectives include
the prevention of injuries, illnesses and incidents by fostering a healthy and safe working
environment for everyone, compliance with legal requirements and a systematic approach for
continuous improvement. The policy outlines the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) guiding
principles for Philips’ management and employees, contractors and visitors. It applies to everyone
working for, or on behalf of Philips, covering all activities worldwide. This policy is publicly available,
and is communicated to all Philips employees and is applicable to contractors working for, or on
behalf of Philips. Management System Certifications ISO 45001 are in place for 25 manufacturing
locations. A total of 19 ISO 45001 certificates for non-manufacturing organizations have been
obtained, with further certifications planned. More than 47% of the total Philips workforce,
including 3rd party workers, is covered by ISO 45001 certification.
Compliance and audit: In 2024, Philips continued using the ENHESA Compliance tracking tool at
all locations where Philips has a significant presence. The locations conduct reviews of applicable
regulations to stay ahead of new requirements and ensure compliance. 9 H&S audits were
performed in manufacturing and research & development, office and field service organizations to
identify best practices and continuous improvement opportunities.
Risk assessments: The high-level risk assessment process, using the Philips Corporate Risk
Assessment protocol, is implemented across all entities to provide a strategic overview of the risk
profile. This approach has identified exceptional risks at specific locations as well as systemic risks
across Philips. Systemic risks were addressed through company-wide H&S campaigns to drive
performance improvements. Risk assessments were also reviewed during the Assurance letter
process, and Philips entities have a better understanding of the risks they face, and the controls
needed to address them.
Management reviews: The Philips Health and Safety Assurance letter was completed. This
process requires a full Health and Safety review at every level of the organization that verifies that
the Philips H&S policy is understood, a verified H&S Management System is in place, compliance
requirements are met, risk assessments have been completed with plans in place to control/reduce
significant risks, and sufficient resources (including adequate staff) are in place. The process is
initiated at the lowest organizational level and raised progressively to more senior leadership and
finally to Executive level, with review and sign-off at each stage.
Training and Communication: A library of Underwriters Ltd. (UL) safety e-learning courses (537
H&S courses in 11 languages) was made available in Philips University. Three new H&S campaigns
were launched – Healthy lifestyle, Learning from incidents, and Machine safety – and one health
awareness topic was circulated throughout our community (blood pressure health).

Health and Safety programs:
In 2024, 127 Champions were trained in Ergonomics to support job analysis and incident
investigations and help drive ergonomic improvements.
Ergonomic and Machine safety assessments were carried out by our subject matter experts at a
number of sites to raise awareness and identify priorities for improvement. Working groups were
created to allow for frequent information exchange and to monitor progress.
Global requirements for radiation protection training were published and a new scenario training
for field personnel was organized. Started quarterly regional meetings with H&S community to
share best practices, prioritize improvement opportunities and further harmonize on radiation
protection topics (PPE, dosimetry, risk analysis).
Together with Group Sustainability, considerable effort was put into improving cross-functional
alignment and management of chemicals. Deployment and training of the improved Process
Framework on chemical management started in Q3 2024.
Increased emphasis was placed on proactive metrics while retaining the existing recordable accident
rate. The metrics are aggregated into a scorecard, to provide one consolidated proactive
performance metric, which is presented at business level. Specific proactive safety metrics include:
• Gemba walks completed: 42,287 (target: 10,145)
• Ride-alongs completed: 3,867 (target 1,765)
• BBS Observations completed: 8,985 (target: 4,998)
• Trainings completed: 172,352 (target 53,446)

Performance results
At Philips, we strive for an injury-free and illness-free work environment. Since 2016, the Total
Recordable Cases (TRC) rate and Lost Workday Injury Case (LWIC) rate have been defined as Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). A recordable case is defined as a case where an injured employee is
unable to work for one or more days, undergoes medical treatment or sustains an occupational
illness. Lost Workday Cases are defined as occupational injury cases where an injured person is
unable to work for one or more days after the injury. We set yearly TRC targets for the company,
businesses, manufacturing and R&D sites.
We recorded 151 TRCs in 2024, with a 12% reduction compared to the 172 cases in 2023. The
TRC rate decreased from 0.24 per hundred FTEs in 2023 to 0.21 in 2024. The following tables have
been included to provide a comparable overview.

We also recorded 77 Lost Workday Injury Cases (LWIC). This represents a 13% decrease compared
with 90 in 2023. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.11 per 100 FTEs in 2024, compared with 0.12 in
2023.
The number of days lost from work-related injuries from work-related accidents decreased by 74
days to 2,623 days in 2024.

Diagnosis & Treatment
In the Diagnosis & Treatment segment, the number of Health and Safety incidents decreased in
2024 to 21 LWICs compared to 36 in 2023. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.16 compared to 0.28 in
2023. The total number of recordable cases for the Diagnosis & Treatment segment decreased to
38 (56 in 2023), mainly due to less recorded incidents in our factories in the United Sates.
Connected Care
In the Connected Care segment, the number of Health and Safety incidents decreased in 2024 to 4
LWICs (8 in 2023). Correspondingly, the LWIC rate decreased to 0.07 compared to 0.13 in 2023.
The total number of recordable cases for the Connected Care segment decreased to 11 in 2024
(16 in 2023), mainly driven by our factory in the United Sates.
Personal Health
In the Personal Health segment, the number of Health and Safety incidents were comparable to
2023, with 7 registered LWICs. The LWIC rate decreased slightly to 0.08 in 2024. There were 15
recordable cases in the Personal Health segment in 2024 (17 in 2023). This decrease was mainly
driven by less recorded incidents in Austria.

Philips’ Health and Safety methodology:
Health and Safety data is reported globally via our sustainability reporting system including all
manufacturing locations, R&D sites, field service organizations and offices. There are few non-
reporting organizations, these are mainly small offices. With this approach, the total coverage of
Health and Safety reporting is above 98%. The data are reported and validated each month. The
H&S performance is calculated based on the reported data. The remainder is not extrapolated due
to its insignificance. The Total Recordable Cases (TRC) rate is defined as a KPI for work-related cases
where an employee is injured or becomes ill and is unable to work in the same capacity for one or
more days following a workplace incident or has medical treatment above first-aid treatment. We
also provide the Lost Workday Injury Cases (LWIC) rate, which measures work-related injuries
(predominantly occurring in manufacturing operations and field service organizations) where the
incident leads to at least one lost work day. Fatalities are reported for staff, contractors, visitors and
other workers working on our sites.

Note XII Workforce details

Philips’ Employee disclosures methodologies:
All reported employee data is actual and based on year-end numbers.
Employees are defined as individuals who are in an employment relationship with the undertaking
according to national law or practice.
Philips employees include permanent (with an undefined end-date contract) and temporary (with a
defined end-date contract) employees. There is no non-guaranteed hours employment (without a
guarantee of a minimum or fixed number of working hours) at Philips. Please refer to Income from
operations for link to the relevant financial statements data.
Non-employees are defined as contingent workers. The characteristics of non-employee workers
in our own workforce, in line with the ESRS definition of non-employees, is prepared using
Workday reports.
The rate of employee turnover reported is calculated in headcount as a monthly average across
the reporting period. The calculation is based on the sum of Philips employees’ voluntary and
involuntary turnover.

We strive to follow International Labor Organization principles with respect to local legislation and
legitimate associations representing employees’ collective interest, with whom we can enter
dialogue about workplace issues. Philips employees in some countries are covered by collective
bargaining agreements, as well as social dialogue in the form of workers’ councils and unions.
Regular meeting with Workers’ Councils, unions and other associations representing employees’
collective interest ensure that we address all relevant material topics for our workforce, including
human rights. The above table shows the breakdown of EEA and non-EEA country coverage in
terms of collective bargaining agreements, where we have a >10% representation of our total
workforce. The number of employees in the European Economic Area (EEA) at year-end 2024 was
12,583, and the percentage of employees in the EEA covered by a collective bargaining agreement
is 71%. Globally, 23% of Philips employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
In some EEA countries, there are several collective bargaining agreements related to various
industrial trade unions; however, each employee is covered by no more than one agreement.
Additionally, EEA countries are also covered by the European Works Council (EWP) agreement.
Social protection
Philips is committed to fair employment practices. Social protection is provided to employees in line
with local regulations. In 2024, in accordance with the ESRS we assessed the social protection
coverage in the 70 countries where we employ people.

8.5.2 Workers in the value chain
In this section we describe the relevant topics for workers in the value chain, with a focus on
actions and results. Relevant methodologies and assumptions have been included.
Note XIII Supplier sustainability & Workers in the value chain
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 4,400 product and component
suppliers and 15,100 service providers. Our supply chain sustainability strategy is evaluated annually
through a structured process, combined with multi-stakeholder dialogues. From this, we have
developed multiple ESG programs aimed at driving sustainable improvement and relevant targets.
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 engagement in these programs is driven by
screening ESG opportunities and risks, evaluating materiality and impact along the lines of material,
industry, and country (geographical) characteristics. For more information on ESG governance,
including targets setting, please refer to ESG governance, strategy and policies.
Procurement and supplier information sessions are scheduled on an ongoing basis. During these
sessions, our supplier ESG expectations are shared and clarified. Training courses are organized to
support suppliers in meeting those expectations. In addition, suppliers are supported in improving
their ESG performance via individual training. Where data is available, suppliers are informed on
their performance compared to industry peers, best practices are shared, and their adoption
encouraged. During the sourcing process, supplier ESG indicators are evaluated. In addition to
minimum requirements set out in our Code of Conduct, suppliers with a better ESG performance
are considered favorably.
Actions and resources in relation to Workers in the value chain
The implementation of our supplier sustainability program is performed by our supplier
sustainability team, with representatives in different parts of the world. The implementation of this
program does not require material operational nor capital expenditures (OpEx and CapEx). We do
not expect a significant change in OpEx nor CapEx to this purpose in short-, medium-, or long-
term.
Policies and Standards
Via policies, standards and position statements Philips communicates its ESG expectations and
requirements towards its business relationships. The following policies, standards, and position
papers, which are publicly available on Philips’ website, are in place to address material ESG topics
in the value chain: our Human Rights Policy reaffirms our commitment to identify, prevent, and
mitigate adverse human rights, and directly applies to the activities of the Philips group, including
all its businesses, regions, and functions. Our commitment to human rights, including labor rights
of workers, extends to other parts of our value chain, affecting our business partners, suppliers and
customers. Philips is committed to supporting and respecting human rights, as set out in the
International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization (ILO) Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We also follow the guidance given in the United

| 229 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Furthermore, Philips has been a signatory to the UN Global Compact since 2007.
The Position Paper on Responsible Sourcing of Minerals specifically relates to human rights issues
related to the extraction of minerals. Philips’ efforts to respect human rights extend to issues
further up the supply chain, for instance to prevent human rights abuses in the extractives sector,
especially related to conflict minerals and cobalt. We are committed to not purchasing raw
materials, subassemblies, or supplies, known to contain conflict minerals from conflict-affected and
high-risk areas (CAHRAs), including the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and adjoining
countries, among others. Philips does not directly source minerals from mines as these are typically
several tiers removed from our direct suppliers. Nevertheless, we recognize that from our position
in the supply chain as a downstream company we can have an impact in addressing the
sustainability issues related to mining of minerals through implementation of due diligence
mechanism and robust multi‐stakeholder engagement. Philips fully supports and complies with the
OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidance).
The Supplier Sustainability Declaration (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
combination with several additional Philips specific expected behaviors. The Code is 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 Forced Labor, Child Labor, Human
Trafficking, Health & Safety, Environment, Ethics, and Management Systems. The RBA is the
world’s largest industry coalition dedicated to responsible business conduct in global supply chains.
As a Regular member of the RBA, Philips is required to commit publicly to the RBA Code of
Conduct and actively pursue conformance to the Code and its standards, which must be regarded
as a total supply chain initiative.
The 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 in our purchasing agreements, suppliers declare compliance to both the SSD and RSL.
Upon request, they provide additional information and evidence.
Risks and Vulnerable Groups
Philips utilizes a Risk Assessment Platform as a fundamental component of its risk assessment
model. The platform employs a dynamic scoring method, which assesses regions across five critical
supply chain pillars: Labor, Health and Safety, Environment, Business Ethics, and Management
Systems. The scoring method utilizes several indices with data from verified and reputable public
sources to generate a final score, including but not limited to the Workers Rights Index
(International Trade Union Confederation), Children’s Rights in the Workplace Index (UNICEF and
Global Child Forum), Global Slavery Index - Proportion in Slavery and Vulnerability (Walk Free
Foundation). Through this methodology, each region is assigned a risk score and categorized into
one of four risk bands: Extreme risk, High risk, Medium risk, or Low risk. These data-driven insights,
presented in the form of risk maps, enable Philips to strategically focus its efforts to enhance supply
chain sustainability while improving the lives of workers within the value chain.
Philips recognizes the need to prioritize ethical business practices and mitigate risks associated with
suppliers located in countries classified as extreme risk. Philips acknowledges the complexities
inherent in its operations, particularly concerning its ambitions to provide access to care for all. In
the limited instances where we do procure from extreme risk countries, we implement additional
controls and due diligence measures to mitigate risks for workers within the value chain, ensuring
alignment with ethical standards and sustainability commitments. Philips has proactively enrolled
suppliers from these countries in its Beyond Auditing program to assess them against rigorous
standards and foster collaborative efforts towards continuous improvement. Leveraging insights
from Beyond Auditing assessments in high-risk countries and embracing technological
advancements such as AI and predictive analytics, Philips is committed to expanding the enrollment
of suppliers from other geographies. This strategic approach underscores Philips’ commitment to
enhancing supply chain sustainability and driving positive change.
Our risk assessment extends beyond geographical boundaries to encompass the inherent risks for
workers in value chain in certain industries and commodities. While geographic location may play a
significant role, the nature of the industry and commodity itself can amplify vulnerabilities within
the supply chain. These risks include precarious working conditions, limited legal protections,
challenges in accessing grievance mechanisms, as well as long working hours, inadequate rest
breaks, and exposure to hazardous conditions.
Furthermore, our commitment to responsible sourcing extends to addressing the challenges posed
by Conflict Minerals, including cobalt. Conflict minerals, such as tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold
(3TG), sourced from conflict-affected and high-risk areas, present significant human rights and
ethical challenges within the supply chain. Additionally, cobalt, a critical component in lithium-ion
batteries used in electronic devices, is often mined under hazardous conditions in regions such as
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), leading to concerns about child labor, unsafe working
conditions, and environmental degradation.
Philips acknowledges responsibility to respect human rights, making it imperative to address the
welfare of vulnerable groups. These groups encompass children, migrants, minorities, indigenous
populations, refugees, and persons with disabilities, among others. They face various risks, such as
inadequate working conditions, including long hours and unsafe environments, as well as
discrimination, child and forced labor. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
emphasize the importance of safeguarding the rights of these vulnerable groups, highlighting the
need for companies to identify, prevent, and mitigate any adverse human rights impacts they may
face. In line with the approach towards vulnerable groups in our own operations, Philips aims to
actively address the unique challenges faced by vulnerable groups within its supply chain. Insights

into specific challenges of these vulnerable groups are collected via the Beyond Auditing
engagement, stakeholder dialog events, and via its memberships to several organizations such as
the Responsible Business Alliance, UN Global Compact, Responsible Minerals Initiative and
European Partnership for Responsible Mining.
Engagement programs
Through several engagement programs, Philips connects with its supply chain stakeholders to
identify, prevent and mitigate adverse Human Rights and Environmental impacts. These programs
are typically organized per topic and/or stakeholder group to drive effective engagement.
Supplier Sustainability Compliance
In the Supplier Sustainability Compliance program, all up and downstream suppliers are required to
commit to the Supplier Sustainability Declaration and Regulated Substances List. The aim of this
program is to clearly and formally share Philips ESG expectations. Through integration of a
Sustainability Agreement in our purchasing agreements, suppliers declare compliance to both the
SSD and RSL. Adherence to the SSD is monitored in the Beyond Auditing program. Adherence to
the RSL is validated via the collection of substance declarations on a regular basis.
Beyond Auditing Program
The Beyond Auditing program was introduced in 2016 to replace Philips' former Supplier Auditing
program. The Beyond Auditing program focuses on:
• a systematic process to improve the sustainability of our supply chain through continuous
improvement against a set of recognized and global references
• preventing adverse impacts via improved ESG maturity
• mitigating and remediating adverse impacts via collaboration, increased transparency, clear
commitments, and 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 (1) Management systems, (2) Environment, (3) Health & Safety,
(4) Business Ethics, and (5) 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. There are
four different sub-segments: BiC (Best in Class), SSIP (Supplier Sustainability Improvement Plan), DIY
(Do It Yourself) and PZT (Potential Zero Tolerance). 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 the five areas
mentioned earlier.
Selection and classification
Supplier selection for the program is based on significance. During the lifecycle of the supplier
relationship, significance of up and downstream suppliers is determined through an assessment of
the supplier’s associated ESG risks and opportunities including material, industry, and geographical
characteristics, as well as annual spend. In 2024, 168 of our suppliers were considered significant.
After the initial assessment, the engagement strategy is tailored based on the suppliers’ current
performance in terms of sustainability. The frequency of the engagement is determined by the
supplier’s score. Suppliers with low maturity scores are typically engaged with yearly, suppliers with
high maturity scores every three years. To support further supply chain ESG development, also non-
significant suppliers are added to the program. By following up regularly, Philips is able to measure
the effectiveness of the engagement over time.
Code of conduct and deep dive assessment
The assessments take place virtually as well as on site, depending on the geographical location and
the maturity of the supplier. The suppliers in scope will be assessed against the standard of the
reference framework by a dedicated Philips ESG assessment team. The assessment is designed to
identify risks as well as opportunities. Via document and on-site verification, including direct
engagement with workers, a maturity score is determined after which the supplier is supported by
Philips’ assessment team in creating an improvement plan.
Suppliers who score medium to high during the code of conduct assessment, and as such have
managed to demonstrate a reliable foundation of code of conduct implementation, are invited to
participate in deep-dive assessments. These deep dive assessments support suppliers, via a similar
methodology, to reach higher maturity levels in the domains of Human Rights, Carbon Reduction
and Supplier ESG Management (Philips tier 2 suppliers). The Human Rights deep-dive is similar to
Philips’ internal Human Rights Impact Assessment. This deep dive includes multiple stakeholder
interviews and interaction with workers and/or their representatives, appropriately respecting
privacy and anonymity of interviewees. The Supplier ESG Management deep dive is similar to
Philips’ Beyond Auditing approach. Tier 1 suppliers participating in this deep dive receive support
from Philips to assess their own suppliers (and thus Philips Tier 2). Tooling and training materials are
made available to support the suppliers’ capabilities to run these assessments.

Potential Zero Tolerance
Whenever during the beyond auditing assessments, Potential Zero Tolerances (PZT) are identified, a
supplier is assigned a PZT status. 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 through agreed improvement plans.
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 corrective action 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 to prevent reoccurrence
Philips defines six Zero Tolerances, which relate to adverse ESG impact in the supply chain:
• 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
Results
In 2024, 105 suppliers were added to the Beyond Auditing program (compared to 158 added in
2023). Of the population of suppliers that entered the program in the years before 2024 and have
been assessed at least once in the past three years, 455 suppliers were still active in 2024
(compared to 392 in 2023). The combined group represents 82% of our significant suppliers who
are in the program. In 2024, 69 tier 2 suppliers entered the program as part of the ESG Supplier
Management Deep Dive, resulting a total number of 207 second tier suppliers engaged with in the
last three years.
In 2024, the overall year-on-year improvement in performance was 39% for suppliers that received
their first re-assessment in 2024. Measuring the effectiveness of the engagement and its positive
outcomes on the overall supplier maturity score, 88% of suppliers who were engaged with actually
showed improved conditions for workers. This figure includes suppliers assessed in the last three
years, for which the supplier has communicated their number of employees via the self-assessment
questionnaire, which was validated during the on-site assessment. 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 by
active suppliers in the past year, by comparing the assessment in 2024 to their previous assessment,
refer to the following table:

Categories which showed the biggest improvement are:
• Management responsibility, Risk control and Target setting and tracking of Environmental
topics: establishing an environmental management organization, improving the audit process to
periodically assess conformance, including compliance with applicable laws and regulations
pertaining to environmental topics, as well as the target setting and tracking on topics such as
Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
• Implementation and Target-setting & tracking of Health & Safety topics: improving working
conditions of workers in the value chain, including setting targets and tracking progress.
• Business Ethics, especially in the domains of management responsibility, communication, and
risk control.
• Implementation for Human Capital: improving the approach to implement policies and
procedures into formal records for the supplier’s human capital system.
In 2024, eight zero tolerances were found across the following categories: Health and Safety,
Labor, and Environmental impact. Four cases were successfully closed in 2024 after confirmation of
completion of the corrective action plan. Four zero tolerances, found in the last semester of 2024,
are being addressed in ongoing corrective actions.
As part of our commitment to improve the lives of 1 million workers in the supply chain by 2025,
Philips measures the impact of the Beyond Auditing engagements through the number of lives
improved in the supply chain. This is derived from the improvements that suppliers make in their
performance. The number of workers impacted at suppliers participating in the Beyond Auditing
program was approximately 936,000 in 2024.

Additional progress made in 2024
Philips is actively applying the latest insights in data science and machine learning methods to make
the SSP program more efficient. By using reference data collected through over 1,600 assessments
in the past years, Philips is working towards integrating maturity and improvement predictions in
the program. This is expected to support us in determining the sustainability maturity of suppliers,
while also increasing the effectiveness of our supplier improvement approach.
On an annual basis, Philips experts organize quality trainings in the sustainability area for suppliers
in the scope of the SSP program.
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 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). RMI identifies smelters that can demonstrate, through an independent
third-party audit, that the minerals they procure are conflict-free. In 2024, 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 US Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). The conflict minerals report is also publicly available on Philips’ website. Philips fully supports
and complies with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals
from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidance).
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). For the 2024 Conflict
Minerals Report, Philips strengthened the acceptance criteria for CMRTs as it intensified the

required due diligence performed by suppliers towards the use of smelters of high concern. In
addition, we strive to reduce the number of non-identified smelters. The percentage of CMRTs that
satisfied minimum acceptance criteria has increased by 13 percentage points to 78%. Philips tracks
the effectiveness and impact of its program via the response rate of suppliers, as well as CMRTs
that satisfied minimum acceptance criteria.

Cobalt
Philips has performed due diligence on cobalt since 2019. We use cobalt predominantly in lithium-
ion batteries. As part of this initiative, we engaged suppliers that provide materials containing
cobalt. In 2024, we again reached a 100% response rate (2023: 100%).
Supplier decarbonization 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 initiatives such as the
CDP supply chain program, Philips motivates its suppliers to disclose emissions, embed board
responsibility on climate change, and actively work on reduction activities.
In October 2021, during COP26, Philips announced its target to have at least 50% of its suppliers
(based on spend) committed to science-based targets for carbon reduction by 2025.
Philips Group
% of suppliers committed to science-based targets

| 2022 | 2023 | 2024
% of suppliers committed to Science Based Targets | 41% | 46% | 48%

We consider suppliers to have committed to science-based targets when this is communicated via
the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the suppliers’ CDP disclosures, or public websites and
announcements (on a ’Science Based Target’, ’Net Zero Target’, or equivalent). Multiple activities
have been deployed to help us achieve this climate target. We consider spend to be relevant if it
relates to product and component suppliers and relevant service providers, like logistics and
information technology suppliers.
CDP engagement: Since 2011 we have been partnering with CDP Supply Chain, through which
we invite suppliers to disclose their environmental performance and carbon intensity. In 2024, there
was a response rate of 88% (2023: 93%). With 504 of our biggest suppliers included in the CDP
engagement program in 2024, CDP confirmed Philips is in the top tier in terms of its supplier
engagement coverage and was recognized again as a Supplier Engagement leader by CDP.
Of the group that responded, 59% engaged in emission-reduction initiatives (2023: 60%).
In addition, 51% committed to carbon emission targets (2023: 48%). In the 2024 survey, our
suppliers reported 37 million metric tonnes CO 2-e savings from improvement projects undertaken
in 2024.

Data-driven insights: Through accurate data insights, Philips’ buyers are enabled to consider
climate action in their supplier selection. In 2024, 48% of our purchases (in spend) were made at
suppliers that have committed to science-based CO 2-e reduction targets.

Capability building: We support suppliers in advancing their company approach to climate action,
offering guidance that is tailored to their climate action maturity. In 2024, we further grew the
offering of tailored feedback and guidance for 80% of our suppliers to support their growth in
capabilities and help improve their approach.
Opportunities for decarbonization: Through on-site assessments we identify energy efficiency
opportunities that enable our suppliers to make cost-effective carbon reductions. Our team
calculates for the supplier what the cost impact would be, and also the return. In 2024, 22 on-site
assessments took place (2023: 19), which resulted in tailored plans for improvement.
Governance and Grievance mechanisms
Philips’ governance on human rights is overseen by the Steering Committee on Business and
Human Rights, led by senior executives from several functions across the company. This committee
ensures that Philips’ responsibility for Human Rights is upheld across the organization. In addition,
the company has also appointed a dedicated Human Rights Manager, who ensures alignment of
Philips’ activities with its commitment to Human Rights. Steering Committee members report to the
Board of Management on a quarterly basis.
A dedicated supplier sustainability department coordinates the supplier sustainability engagement
programs. This department constantly updates procurement functions on suppliers’ sustainability
performance in the engagement programs, including identified risks and Zero Tolerances. By
staying informed about suppliers’ sustainability performance, procurement leadership can make
informed sourcing decisions that avoid negative impact, strengthen responsible sourcing practices
and as such contributing to Philips ESG objectives, as well as setting and reviewing targets.
Multiple communication channels exist to serve as grievance mechanisms for early-warning risk
awareness. Apart from direct contact opportunities in the engagement programs, Philips has the
Philips Speak Up policy and underlying Speak Up mechanism that enables its stakeholders
(including employees, former employees and third parties) to inform Philips of any concerns they
may have. Internally, its personnel can (anonymously) report possible violations of Philips General
Business Principles. In addition, stakeholders can use the email address
conflict_free_minerals@Philips.com or existing industry grievance mechanisms like RMI to file
complaints related to 3TG.
In addition, Philips requires suppliers to have grievance mechanisms in place as indicated in the
code of conduct. Related to this requirement is the protection of identify and non-retaliation as set
out in de code. In the code of conduct assessments, the presence of grievance mechanisms is
checked. In the Human Rights Impact assessments also the awareness, effectiveness and the trust
in the mechanism is evaluated. During 2024, Philips has adopted the effectiveness check to the
code of conduct assessment as well. Whenever improvements in the mechanisms at suppliers are
required, the progress will be evaluated via the regular beyond auditing engagement approach.
Related to the above mentioned, Philips does not expect significant operational expenditures (OpEx)
nor capital expenditures (CapEx) to execute the supplier engagement programs on short-,
medium-, or long-term.
Stakeholder dialogs and multi-stakeholder initiatives
Working in partnerships with stakeholders is crucial to deliver on our vision to make the world
healthier and more sustainable through innovation. Insights gained through our stakeholder
engagement process are used as input to manage and update our supplier sustainability strategy,
engagement programs and targets. In 2024, Philips organized a dedicated supply chain and human
rights stakeholder dialog to collect input from a diverse group of stakeholders. The group
represents diverse interests, including stakeholders representing the interest of workers in the value
chain. During the 2024 stakeholder dialog, non-governmental organizations, universities, investors,
suppliers, partners and peers have participated.
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 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
several working groups focused on strengthening the responsible production of minerals, as well as
improving responsible sourcing practices.
Payment practices
Philips strives to ensure timely cash flows to its business partners (vendors), especially with respect
to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Philips has insights in the standard payment terms,
the actual payments and whether payments are meeting the contract payment terms. The
performance is shown in the next table, and includes anomalies and disputed payments due to
which payments may be late.

Total Philips | Global | N/A | 78 | 96%

The number of legal proceedings during 2024 for late payments is 0. Of these, the number relating
to SMEs is 0.

Philips payment practices methodology:
Philips has approximately 4,400 product and component suppliers and 15,100 service providers.
The payment practice monitoring and previous table is based on a sample size of 50,000 payments
across regions, and to SMEs as well as No SMEs. The sample selected has the same relative
distribution across categories as total Philips. It is assumed that this sampling is representative of the
total Philips.
For the payment practice performance monitoring, Philips suppliers are categorized as SME (Small
Medium Enterprise) and No SME. The EU definition of SME is used, meaning that the enterprise has
less than 250 employees and their turnover is less than or equal to EUR 50 million euros or their
balance sheet total is less than EUR 43 million euros.
For Supplier’s entities located in Asia Pacific (APAC), North America (NAM) and Latin America
(LATAM), the payment term shall be 95 days EOM (ninety-five days from the end of the month in
which the correct invoice is received), and 55% of our suppliers are located in APAC, NAM and
LATAM. For Supplier’s entities located in the rest of the world, the payment term shall be 65 days
EOM (sixty-five days from the end of the month in which the correct invoice is received), and 45%
of our supplier are located in the rest of the world which includes Europe, Middle East and Africa
(EMEA). Exceptions to the above contractual payment terms can be the result of:
• Specific country rules and regulations that are legally binding upon Philips and therewith
restricting the payment terms to be applied.
• Specific (sub-)categories referred to as “Non-Purchasing Spend” which includes invoices related
to taxes, sales-related cost including rebates, customs, personnel related payments, banks,
donations, charities, and the like.
• Specific supply market conditions (e.g., shortages, local market practices, etc.)
Philips suppliers are also categorized by region. Each region has its own standard payment terms.
According to Philips' policy, the average actual payment term for 2024 is the average days taken to
pay all invoices posted and paid within that fiscal year. The "% Met Standard Payment Terms"
indicates the proportion of on-time payments according to the agreed terms. As a principle, Philips
calculates payment terms from the date that the correct invoice is received.

Note XV Measuring health impacts
In 2024, we continued the research to measure our social impact to assess the positive
contributions to health effects offered by publicly traded companies related to medical devices. We
further piloted the methodology and evaluated another use case of the potential measurable
impact of Ultrasound devices.
Case study*): IGT medical devices
An analysis of 204 countries estimated the impact of IGT medical devices on reducing cancer
(tracheal, bronchus, lung, and kidney) and cardiovascular mortality in different world areas, aligning
with UN SDG targets 3.2 and 3.4:
• A global assessment of IGT diagnosis indicates that a procedure may prevent between 0.02 and
1.91 deaths per medical device per year, with a global geometric mean of 0.18 and 90% CI
[0.08, 0.37].
• Cardiovascular mortality prevention benefits of using IGT medical devices are the highest in
Central and Eastern European countries.

• The impact of innovation, tax, reimbursement and market access policies on the future of
healthcare at both state and federal level.
• The geopolitical tensions and their impact on trade and international supply chains.
China
• Strong clinical partnerships, particularly relevant to China’s healthcare challenges, supplying
national top hospitals with tailor-made solutions for their clinical and research needs,
decarbonizing the healthcare sector, and improving the resilience of healthcare.
• The impact of geopolitical tensions on trade and international supply chains, and our localization
strategy.
Health Systems Sustainability and Resilience
Historic resolution World Health Assembly recognizing climate change as imminent health
threat
In 2024, the Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health (ATACH) further solidified its
role for global collaboration in addressing the health impacts of climate change. Under the
leadership of the World Health Organization (WHO) and its partners, ATACH championed initiatives
to accelerate the transition to climate-resilient, sustainable, and low-carbon health systems.

| 239 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Philips has been an active participant in ATACH's initiatives via its trade association DITTA,
advocating for transformative change across the healthcare sector. The collaborative efforts within
ATACH contributed to the historic resolution at the World Health Assembly (WHA) 2024, which
formally recognized climate change as an imminent health threat and committed member states to
actionable measures. This resolution reinforces the critical role of partnerships like ATACH in driving
global progress toward sustainable health systems.
Partnerships for Health Systems Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR)
Philips collaborates closely with a diverse international network of stakeholders to establish
strategic partnerships and conduct industry research. In 2020, Philips joined forces with esteemed
organizations including the World Economic Forum, AstraZeneca, KPMG, the London School of
Economics, the WHO Foundation, and the Center for Asia Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRI)
to form the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR). This non-profit,
multi-sector, global collaboration is united in its goal to build more sustainable and resilient health
systems. To support this goal, the PHSSR is active in over 30 countries, and has published 32
reports to date on its commissioned independent research, providing evidence-based
recommendations on health system strengthening.
This work, which includes country specific findings as well as combined overarching global insights,
is conducted by national experts with first-hand knowledge and experience of the domestic health
systems studied. Many health systems are under severe strain as mounting pressures and growing
demands have escalated to a critical level. The PHSSR seeks to facilitate cross-border and cross-
sectoral collaboration to accelerate the strengthening of health systems by enabling international
knowledge exchange and collaboration with health system stakeholders.
Engaging with healthcare professionals and key opinion leaders: Future Health Index
The Future Health Index is a research-based platform designed to help determine the readiness of
countries to address global health challenges and build sustainable, fit-for-purpose national health
systems. By examining the role of technology in the health system, the aim of the Future Health
Index is to provide actionable insights to healthcare leaders, healthcare professionals and
governments.
The Future Health Index 2024 report is based on proprietary research among almost 3,000
healthcare leaders, conducted across 14 countries. It is the largest global survey analyzing the
priorities and perspectives of healthcare leaders. The report explores how healthcare leaders view
their organization’s ability to deliver timely, high-quality care to everyone. The report focuses on the
gaps that stand in these leaders’ way and how they plan to overcome them. The ninth edition
shows that healthcare leaders are turning to new care delivery models and AI-enabled innovation
to address pressure due to workforce shortages, financial burdens, and growing demand.
Globally aligned purchasing criteria for medical imaging equipment
Globally agreed sustainable purchasing criteria were published by the newly launched initiative by
the Medical Equipment Pro-active Alliance for Sustainable Healthcare (MEPA), with the trade
association COCIR as a founding member. Buyers of health technology can play a significant role in
driving green purchasing reforms, shifting demand and re-shaping global supply chains to
collectively help drive and scale sustainable practices in radiology and healthcare overall. The criteria
provide companies and purchasers with a common framework and guidance on how to improve
the sustainability of their imaging equipment, enabling them to ask the right questions. The almost
50 criteria draw on existing standards and industry best practices in sustainable procurement,
addressing both individual products, as well as suppliers’ sustainability performance. Topic areas
range from climate change mitigation over the sustainable use of resources, to corporate ESG
performance.
Social Impact
In the social dimension, Philips collaborates with numerous international partners to deliver
sustainable value and drive global change. These efforts align with the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goal 3. Our aim is to reduce our shared environmental footprint and increase our
social impact as part of the commitment to improve 2 billion lives by 2025.
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means that all people have access to the full range of quality
health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship. The
UHC2030 agenda is about ensuring that by 2030 all people can obtain the health services they
need without suffering financial hardship. This will not only improve health and health equity but
also help reduce poverty, create jobs, drive inclusive economic growth, promote gender equality,
and protect populations from epidemics. We can only achieve health for all, the commitment made
by United Nations member states, if the public, private and non-profit sectors work together. As
member of its Private-Sector Constituency, Philips actively supports the UHC2030 mission.
Access to care in underserved communities
Fifty percent of the world population does not have access to essential health services. Through
dedicated teams across the company’s businesses and regions, and with shared-value public-private
partnerships, Philips is developing innovative digital solutions and deploying new business and
financing models that are both sustainable and scalable, to strengthen health systems while
lowering costs and bringing care closer to those financially vulnerable.
Each day, nearly 800 women around the world die from preventable causes related to pregnancy
and childbirth, with nearly 95% of all maternal deaths happening in low- and middle-income
countries. When it comes to pregnant mothers and babies, ultrasound is the safest option, but
there are several barriers to the use of traditional ultrasound scans in low- and middle-income
countries (LMICs), such as a shortage of health care professionals trained in ultrasound and limited
access to essential medical equipment with the appropriate workflow. By leveraging its expertise in
portable ultrasound solutions, and in close collaboration with the Gates Foundation, Philips is
developing AI-based applications built into the Philips Lumify handheld ultrasound device, that can
assist frontline health workers to effectively capture and interpret ultrasound images. With
sonographers in short supply around the world, this approach provides the opportunity for
expectant mothers to understand the health of their child at an early stage of pregnancy. The new

ultrasound-based prototype technology is a preventative measure, aimed at increasing access to
maternal care, helping to further reduce fetal mortality and morbidity in the future.
The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (PMNCH) continues to be an important
platform for Philips in advocating for health and well-being. Together with PMNCH as the world’s
largest alliance for women’s, children’s, and adolescents’ health and well-being, Philips seeks to
advocate and collaborate for affordable access to high-quality maternal care during pregnancy and
after childbirth, to bring care close to those who need it most.
Recognizing the funding gap to achieve UHC, Philips continues its work in impact finance. Philips is
working with impact finance organizations to unlock more funding into the healthcare space, with
a key role for catalytic capital and blended-finance mechanisms. In 2024, Philips remained an active
Steering Committee member of the Health Finance Coalition (HFC), a coalition of leading health
donors, investors, and technical partners seeking to scale blended finance solutions to help achieve
SDG3 and Universal Health Coverage in Africa. The Transform Health Fund, where Philips engaged
as a co-shaper together with HFC and as an anchor investor, achieved its final close above target at
US$ 111.5m. The first investments have been made, focusing on supply chain transformation and
innovative care delivery models serving low-income patients in Africa.
Philips is committed to driving the Digital Connected Care Coalition (DCCC, initiated by Philips and
partners in 2019), a global public-private coalition that aims to scale digital health solutions in
LMICs as a means to reach UHC. DCCC members pool resources and capabilities to jointly address
unmet medical needs. In 2024, significant progress was made on DCCC-supported projects
focused on availing primary healthcare through a digitally enhanced model, strengthening health
data infrastructures, and improving care delivery through health and wellness centers.
Philips also partners with the Philips Foundation to improve access to care in some of the most
underserved and financially vulnerable communities globally. In 2024, the Philips Foundation
celebrated its ten years anniversary. Refer to the Philips Foundation to learn more.
Climate Action and Circularity
Regarding its environmental responsibility, Philips focuses on making a material impact, which
means prioritizing initiatives that deliver tangible value. Our strategy is in line with the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals 12 and 13.
Achievements with customers to decarbonize healthcare
Philips helps healthcare organizations worldwide assess and mitigate their environmental impact
while enabling better care and outcomes for more patients at lower cost. In 2024, Philips
announced significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction results following collaboration
with customers worldwide to assess and mitigate their carbon footprints, while also enhancing
patient care and customer operational efficiency. Key achievements include:
• Jackson Health System (US): A 47% projected reduction in CO 2-e emissions by replacing legacy
patient monitors, comprising 508 tonnes equipment lifecycle CO 2-e reduction and 177 tonnes
CO 2-e reduction due to battery and paper savings.
• Champalimaud Foundation (Portugal): 24% emissions reduction per exam in its radiology and
nuclear medicine department in the first year, with a goal to halve the carbon footprint of its
diagnostic and interventional imaging departments by 2028.
• Rennes University Hospital (France): Opportunities identified to reduce annual emissions of the
cath lab through energy savings and sustainable equipment upgrades.
• County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (UK): A sustainability blueprint developed
for the Trust’s ICU, focusing on waste reduction and energy efficiency.
• Vanderbilt University Medical Center (US): A seminal cradle-to-grave analysis of hospital-based
radiology services by the Department of Radiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and
Royal Philips found the energy consumption from imaging equipment accounted for more than
50% of the greenhouse gas emissions and shed light on areas to focus future evidence-based
strategies to decarbonize. In November 2024, the results of this collaboration were published by
trade publication Radiology.
• Tsinghua University (China): Philips embarked on a research collaboration project with Tsinghua
University about the decarbonization pathway for medical equipment. The current project which
is ongoing, aims to study and calculate the energy consumption of China's magnetic resonance
(MR) devices as well as establishing a research framework for the decarbonization pathway of
large-scale medical equipment in China.
Partnerships for Circularity
In 2024, Philips has continued to engage with multiple stakeholders to drive circular practices
worldwide. Philips is a consortium member of ‘Evidence-based Strategies to create Circular
Hospitals: Applying the 10-Rs framework to healthcare’ (ESCH-R), which started this year. The
consortium is funded by the Dutch Research Council, with the ambition to accelerate the adoption
of circular interventions in hospitals to reduce the environmental footprint of healthcare.
We have actively participated in the Global Circularity Protocol that aims to be a framework to
guide companies in target-setting, measuring, reporting and disclosing progress on circularity,
combined also with policy guidance to accelerate the shift towards a circular economy. This
initiative is spearheaded by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBSCD), in
collaboration with the One Planet network (OPN). Our participation has been as advisory committee
members and also in the technical working group. This year, as part of the Global Circularity
Protocol, ‘Landscape Analysis of Circularity-related Corporate Performance & Accountability and
Policy & Regulation’ and ‘Impact Analysis on Climate, Nature, Equity and Business performance’
were published, announcing among others that the Global Circularity Protocol has the potential to
reduce global material consumption by 4% to 5% between 2026 to 2050, leading to a 6% to 7%
reduction of GHG emissions and an additional decrease of air pollution (PM2.5), on average by
11% to 12% per year.
Through our partnership with Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF), we have collaborated with other
key partners to create and submit a briefing paper to the GHG Protocol to improve climate
emission accounting that supports the circular economy. Our findings highlight how current
methodologies can lead to inaccurate or incomplete emission calculations, and also include
suggested revisions to the GHG Protocol, standards and guidance.

Together with other parties, Philips contributed to the Circularity Gap report issued by Circularity
Gap Reporting Initiative, providing clarity on the gaps to close on a global scale, and on the
necessary contribution and scaling of circularity to systematically address climate change.
In 2024, Philips was awarded the Cannes Lions Grand Prix award in the Creative Business
Transformation category, for its "Better than New" initiative, which brought attention to its new
refurbished product portfolio (Philips Refurb Edition) launched in Europe, with Germany as the lead
country. Philips Refurb Edition products are part of Philips' commitment to sustainable and circular
practices without compromising on quality or affordability. Each product undergoes rigorous
inspections and cleaning by a team of experts, along with component replacements as needed –
and is shipped with the same 2-year warranty as new products.
For more information on Philips’ Circular Economy Program, please refer to section Resource use
and circular economy.
Partnerships for Climate Action
Encouraging progress shared by the World Economic Forum during NY Climate Week, following
the Alliance of CEO Climate leaders, representing some of the world’s largest global companies,
including Philips. Alliance members achieved aggregate emissions reductions of 10% between
2019 and 2022. This is a significant decrease and well ahead of the emissions reductions achieved
by some of the world’s biggest economies. It demonstrates that green growth is not just an idea
for the future but a real value driver today. Work will continue, with a focus on mobilizing business
action and accelerating Scope 3 emission reduction, i.e. in the product use phase and across global
supply chains.
Philips Supplier Sustainability approach secured finalist position for Philips in Fortune’s 2024
‘Change the World’ rankings for its ongoing commitment to improving the health of people and
the planet through supply-chain sustainability innovation.
Following Cero Generation’s 70MW Italian agrivoltaic project, backed by agreements with Philips
and Heineken that went live in November 2023. Next, Philips secured a long-term renewable
electricity agreement in 2024, from innovative fishery-solar PV. This agreement enables Philips’
Suzhou facility in Jiangsu Province (China) to operate 100% on green energy and helps Philips to
reduce approximately 9,200 tonnes of CO 2-e annually. It also supports China’s push to use more
low-carbon energy alternatives.
For more information on Philips’ Climate Action Program, please refer to section Climate change.
World Economic Forum (WEF)
Philips engages with the World Economic Forum (WEF), the international organization for public-
private cooperation committed to improving the state of the world, through year-round Strategic
Partnership activities. The WEF convenes political, business, and civil society leaders to shape global,
regional, and industry agendas. In 2024, Philips participated in the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos,
driving discussions on sustainable and just healthcare systems, including climate-focused healthcare
models, innovations to improve healthcare access for women, and the importance of public-private
partnerships in transforming healthcare. Philips also contributed to regional WEF events and side
conferences, such as the International Business Council (IBC), the network of Global Future
Councils focused on innovative resilience strategies, the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings
(SDIM) during the UN General Assembly, and the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in China.
SDG Tent at WEF Annual Meeting in Davos
Since 2023, Philips has been the hosting partner of the SDG Tent. For almost 20 years, the SDG
Tent has been a critical hub for SDG-focused conversations and initiatives during the WEF Annual
Meeting in Davos. It is a unique and unbiased meeting point gathering key actors from the private
and public sectors, accessible to all in Davos. Philips agreed to take over as hosting partner from
Royal DSM, starting with the 2024 WEF Annual Meeting, offering an additional opportunity to
contribute towards driving progress on the UN Social Development Goals. In January 2024, the
Tent hosted 34 events over 4 days, attracting more than 3,000 visitors and many more online.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In 2024, Philips continued its strong partnership with the European Society of Radiology (ESR) at
#ECR2024 and demonstrated how Philips AI-enabled solutions can help radiologists address some
of their most pressing challenges, including cost of care, staff shortages, and improving patient
outcomes, while at the same time reducing environmental impact.
Moreover, at the 2024 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Global Health
Conference & Exhibition (HIMSS24), Philips emphasized the significant role of artificial intelligence
(AI) in healthcare. They highlighted how AI assists clinicians in diagnosing and treating patients
more effectively and enables healthcare providers to operate more efficiently. Additionally, Philips
discussed the potential of generative AI to alleviate clinicians from time-consuming administrative
tasks, addressing the imbalance between rising patient demand and the current shortage of clinical
professionals.
Partly due to the recent developments in generative AI, there is increasing worldwide attention to
develop and deploy AI solutions in a responsible way. Philips is committed to responsible AI with
our CEO, Roy Jakobs, co-chairing the US National Academy of Medicine’s Steering Committee on
AI Code of Conduct, which aims to provide a framework to ensure that AI solutions applied in
healthcare perform accurately, safely, reliably and ethically.

The sustainability statement within the meaning of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards
(ESRS) is included in chapter 8 Sustainability statement of this Annual Report and includes by
reference chapter 4 Environmental, Social and Governance, as well as certain other sections of this
Annual Report referred to in ESRS cross-reference table.
9.2 Management’s statements and report
The statements and report below are provided by Roy Jakobs, Charlotte Hanneman and Marnix van
Ginneken, together constituting the entire Board of Management of Koninklijke Philips N.V., on the
date of this Annual Report.
Management’s statement pursuant to best practice provision 1.4.3 of the
Dutch Corporate Governance Code
On the basis of the outcome of the processes embedded in the company’s risk management and
internal control framework (refer to Risk management and Internal Control), 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 risk 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 they provide the required disclosures.
In view of the above, the Board of Management believes that it is in compliance with best practice
provision 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 system provide certainty as to the
realization of the 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 below in this section Management’s statements and report.
Management’s statement pursuant to section 5:25c paragraph 2 sub c of the
Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht)
The Board of Management of Koninklijke Philips N.V. hereby declares that, to the best of its
knowledge, the Group financial statements and Company financial statements give a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the company and the
undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole and that the management report
specified in References to the content of this Annual Report gives a true and fair view concerning
the position as per the balance sheet date, the development and performance of the business
during the financial year of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken
as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks that they face.
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting
pursuant to section 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act
T he 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 13a-15 (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, 2024, it has concluded that, as of
December 31, 2024, 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,
2024, as included in this section Group financial statements, has been audited by EY Accountants
B.V., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which follows

9.3.1 Independent auditor’s report on internal control over financial reporting
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To: the Supervisory Board and Shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the
COSO criteria). In our opinion, Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the
COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of
December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024, and the related notes and our report dated February 21, 2025 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
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

| 253 |

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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
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. A company’s
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Information in support of our opinion
We designed our audit procedures in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a
whole and in forming our opinion thereon. The following information in support of our opinion
and any findings were addressed in this context, and we do not provide a separate opinion or
conclusion on these matters.
Our understanding of the business
Koninklijke Philips N.V. is a health technology company delivering personal health solutions and
professional health solutions for healthcare providers and their patients. The group is structured in
operating reporting units (hereinafter: components) and we tailored our group audit approach
accordingly. We paid specific attention in our audit to a number of areas driven by the operations
of the group, as set out in our Key Audit Matters, as well as in our risk assessment.
We determined materiality and identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, in order to design audit procedures responsive
to those risks and to obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Materiality

Materiality | €90 million (2023: €75 million).
Benchmark applied | 0.5% of sales (2023: 0.4% of sales).
Explanation | We determined materiality based on our understanding of the Company’s business and our perception of the financial information needs of users of the financial statements. We consider sales an important metric for the activities of the Company. The benchmark applied is in line with our 2023 audit.

We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion
are material for the users of the financial statements for qualitative reasons.
We agreed with the Supervisory Board that misstatements in excess of €4.5 million, which are
identified during the audit, would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our
view must be reported on qualitative grounds.
Scope of the group audit
Koninklijke Philips N.V. is at the head of a group of entities. The financial information of this group
is included in the financial statements.
We are responsible for planning and performing the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate
audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group
as a basis for forming an opinion on the financial statements. We are also responsible for the
direction, supervision, review and evaluation of the audit work performed for purposes of the
group audit. We bear the full responsibility for the auditor’s report.
Based on our understanding of the group and its environment, the applicable financial framework
and the group’s system of internal control, we identified and assessed risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements and the significant accounts and disclosures. Based on this
risk assessment, we determined the nature, timing and extent of audit work performed, including
the components at which to perform audit work. For this determination we considered the nature
of the relevant events and conditions underlying the identified risks of material misstatements for
the financial statements, the association of these risks to components and the materiality or
financial size of the components relative to the group. We communicated the audit work to be
performed and identified risks through instructions for component auditors as well as requesting
component auditors to communicate matters related to the financial information of the component
that is relevant to identifying and assessing risks. This resulted in a coverage of 91% of sales and
85% of total assets. For other components, we performed analytical procedures to corroborate
that our risk assessment and scoping remained appropriate throughout the audit.
Based on our assessment of the risk of material misstatement to Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s financial
statements, we selected 6 components which required an audit of the complete financial
information. Furthermore, we selected 32 components requiring audit procedures on specific
account balances or specified audit procedures on significant accounts. For financial statement
account balances such as capitalized development costs, restructuring costs, Health Systems sales
and Personal Health sales running on the primary IT systems, Respironics field action provision and
other product warranty provisions, payroll and goodwill, we performed (centralized) audit work
ourselves.
We hosted audit meetings with component auditors to discuss the group audit, the group risk
assessment, audit approach and instructions. Based on our risk assessment, we performed in-
person site visits at component locations in the United States, China, Indonesia and India. These site
visits encompassed some, or all, of the following activities: observing the component operations,
co-developing the audit approach responsive to the risks of material misstatements, reviewing
related working papers and conclusions, meeting with local and regional management teams. In
general, we interacted regularly with the component teams during various stages of the audit.
Where deemed appropriate, we attended certain component closing meetings with management.
By performing the audit work mentioned above at the entities or business units within the group,
together with additional work at group level, we have been able to obtain sufficient and
appropriate audit evidence about the group’s financial information to provide an opinion on the
financial statements.
Teaming, use of specialists and internal audit
We ensured that the audit teams both at group and at component levels included the appropriate
skills and competencies which are needed for the audit of a listed client in the health technology
industry. We included specialists in the areas of IT audit, forensics, treasury, and income tax and

| 255 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

have made use of our own experts for valuation of derivatives, environmental liabilities, share based
payments and business valuation, as well as actuarial experts.
We performed our audit in cooperation with internal audit of Koninklijke Philips N.V., leveraging
their in-depth knowledge of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and work performed. We agreed on the joint
coordination of the audit planning, the nature and scope of the work to be performed, reporting
and documentation. We evaluated and tested the relevant work performed by Internal Audit to
satisfy ourselves that the work was adequate for our purposes and established what work had to
be performed by our own professionals.
Our focus on climate-related risks
Climate-related risks can impact financial reporting. The Board of Management has summarized
Philips’ commitments and obligations in relation to climate, and reported in Chapter 8 Sustainability
statement how the Company is addressing climate-related and environmental risks.
As part of our audit of the financial statements, we evaluated the extent to which climate-related
risks and the Company’s commitments and (constructive) obligations are taken into account in
estimates and significant assumptions applied by Koninklijke Philips N.V. Furthermore, we read the
management report and considered whether there is any material inconsistency between the non-
financial information in Chapter 8 Sustainability statement and the financial statements.
Based on the audit procedures performed, we do not deem climate-related risks to have a material
impact on the financial reporting judgments, estimates or significant assumptions as of December
31, 2024 and as such we have not identified a key audit matter.
Our focus on fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
Our responsibility
Although we are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance and we cannot be
expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations, it is our responsibility to obtain
reasonable assurance that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material
misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Our audit response related to fraud risks
We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements due to
fraud. During our audit we obtained an understanding of Philips and its environment and the
components of the system of internal control, including the risk assessment process and the Board
of Management’s process for responding to the risks of fraud and monitoring the system of
internal control including how the Supervisory Board exercises oversight, as well as the outcomes.
We refer to Chapter 4, Section 3.9 of the management report for the Board of Management’s
fraud risk assessment and Chapter 5, Section 3.3 of the Supervisory Board report in which the
Audit Committee reflects on this fraud risk assessment.
We evaluated the design and relevant aspects of the system of internal control and in particular the
fraud risk assessment, as well as the code of conduct, whistle blower procedures and incident
registration. We evaluated the design and the implementation and, where considered appropriate,
tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls designed to mitigate fraud risks.
As part of our process of identifying fraud risks, we evaluated fraud risk factors with respect to
financial reporting fraud, misappropriation of assets and bribery and corruption, in close co-
operation with our forensic and legal specialists. We evaluated whether these factors indicate that
a risk of material misstatement due to fraud is present.
We incorporated elements of unpredictability in our audit. We also considered the outcome of our
other audit procedures and evaluated whether any findings were indicative of fraud or non-
compliance.
We addressed the risks related to management override of controls, as this risk is present in all
organizations. For these risks, we have performed procedures, among others to evaluate key
accounting estimates for management bias that may represent a risk of material misstatement due
to fraud, in particular relating to important judgment areas and significant accounting estimates as
disclosed in Note 1 to the group financial statements. We have also used data analysis to identify
and address high-risk journal entries and evaluated the business rationale (or lack thereof) of
significant extraordinary transactions, including those with related parties.
When identifying and assessing fraud risks, we presumed that there are risks of fraud in sales
recognition. We refer to our Key Audit Matter related to ‘Revenue recognition — Sales to
distributors and retailers, and installable sales orders’ for further information.
We considered available information and made inquiries of relevant executives, directors, internal
audit, legal, compliance, human resources, regional directors and the Supervisory Board.
The fraud risks we identified, inquiries and other available information did not lead to specific
indications for fraud or suspected fraud potentially materially impacting the view of the financial
statements.
Our audit response related to risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations
We performed appropriate audit procedures regarding compliance with the provisions of those
laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Furthermore, we assessed factors related to the risks of non-
compliance with laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect
on the financial statements from our general industry experience, through discussions with the
Board of Management, reading minutes, inspection of internal audit and compliance reports and
performing test of controls and substantive tests of details on classes of transactions, account
balances or disclosures.

| 256 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Given the Company is a global organization, operating in multiple jurisdictions, in our assessment
of the risk of non-compliance with laws and regulations, we also considered the potential risk from
Philips’ interactions with third-party distributors and governmental agencies. We refer to Chapter 9,
Section 5.4 Compliance Risks in the management report. Our audit approach included the
following steps: 1) obtain an understanding of the environment and the Company to enable the
detection of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to bribery and corruption, 2) obtain
an understanding of the internal control environment and the measures for mitigating those risks
(by the Company) in the light of applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations and 3) execute
controls-based and substantive audit procedures in order to obtain sufficient evidence for the
mitigation of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due non-compliance
with laws and regulations related to bribery and corruption.
We also inspected lawyers’ letters and correspondence with regulatory authorities and remained
alert to any indication of (suspected) non-compliance throughout the audit. Finally, we obtained
written representations that all known or alleged instances of non-compliance with laws and
regulations have been disclosed to us.
We refer to our Key Audit Matter related to the ‘Measurement of provisions and disclosures for
legal claims, litigations and contingent liabilities’ for further information as to our procedures in this
regard.
Our audit response related to going concern
As disclosed in Chapter 6, Section 6 Basis of preparation in Note 1 to the group financial
statements, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. When
preparing the financial statements, the Board of Management made a specific assessment of the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue its operations for the foreseeable
future.
We discussed and evaluated the specific assessment with the Board of Management, exercising
professional judgment and maintaining professional skepticism.
We considered whether the Board of Management’s going concern assessment, based on our
knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise,
contains all relevant events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Based on our procedures performed, we did not identify material uncertainties about going
concern. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Our key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance
in our audit of the financial statements. We have communicated the key audit matters to the
Supervisory Board.
In comparison with previous year, we removed two key audit matters: ‘Measurement and
disclosure of the Respironics field action provision related to Sleep & Respiratory Care products’ and
‘Valuation of Goodwill for Cash Generating Unit Sleep & Respiratory Care’, both due to our
reassessment of the related risks of material misstatements for the financial statements 2024. There
are no relevant changes to the nature of the other key audit matters.

Revenue recognition – Sales to distributors and retailers, and installable sales orders
Risk | As disclosed in more detail in Note 6 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements , the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer. Transfer of control varies depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For consumer-type products in the Personal Health segment, 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. We identified a fraud risk related to improper revenue recognition within the Personal Health segment, by inaccurately recognizing revenues for orders where control transfers upon delivery at distributors and retailers.. In addition, the sales in the Diagnosis & Treatment (D&T) and Connected Care (CC) segments of the Company include the sale of equipment which requires installation and formal acceptance by the customer before control over the goods and services are transferred to the customer and these installable sales orders can be recognized as revenue. We identified a risk of management accelerating revenue recognition through override of customer acceptance controls for installable sales orders.
Our audit approach | Our audit procedures included, amongst others, evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s revenue recognition policies in accordance with IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and whether the policies have been applied consistently or whether changes, if any, are appropriate in the circumstances. 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 the occurrence of revenue recognized for sales to distributors and retailers (Personal Health) and installable sales orders (D&T and CC). Specifically for sales in the D&T and CC segments, we tested the Company’s controls over customers’ acceptance of installed equipment. With respect to revenue recognized for sales to distributors and retailers (Personal Health), we tested revenue transactions before the year-end for sales to distributors and retailers where control transfers upon delivery at customer. We incorporated unpredictability into the nature and extent of these procedures. Furthermore, we tested the accuracy of incoterms recorded in the Company’s IT application. Furthermore, with respect to the installable sales orders we have tested, among other procedures, sales orders recognized before yearend by obtaining formal customer acceptance documentation to evidence occurrence of sales in the appropriate period. We have integrated unpredictability into the nature, timing and extent of these procedures by also testing random sales transactions for installable sales orders.
Key observations | We evaluated that revenue recognized for sales to distributors and retailers (Personal Health) and installable sales orders (Health Systems) is reasonable.

Measurement of provisions and disclosures for legal claims, litigations and contingent liabilities
Risk | 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. As more fully described in Note 19, Provisions, and Note 24, Contingencies, this includes legal claims, and litigation related to the Respironics recall and discussions with and information provided to the Department of Justice (DoJ), certain United States' State Attorneys General and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding ongoing investigations. In Note 24, the Company has disclosed present obligations with a probable outflow of economic resources where the amount cannot be reliably estimated, as well as certain possible obligations arising from past events. The Company recognizes provisions for legal claims and litigation when it has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. At December 31, 2024, the provision balance recorded for these obligations is EUR 1,079 million. A significant portion of this balance is derived from a settlement in relation to the personal injury and medical monitoring class action complaints in the United States (US) for which the Company recorded a provision of EUR 984 million in 2024. Auditing the provisions for legal claims and litigation, and the disclosure for provisions and contingent liabilities is complex due to the judgment applied by management 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 group financial statements as a whole.
Our audit approach | Our audit procedures included, amongst others, evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s accounting policies related to provisions and disclosures for legal claims, litigations, and contingent liabilities in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets, and whether the accounting policies have been applied consistently or whether changes, if any, are appropriate in the circumstances. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls relating to the identification and evaluation of legal claims, litigation and investigations, and the measurement and continuous re- assessment of the related provisions, contingent liabilities, and disclosures. To evaluate the potential impact of these matters and test the Company’s estimate of provisions for legal claims and litigation and the disclosure for provisions and contingent liabilities our procedures included, among others, discussion of the legal claims, litigation and investigations with both internal and external legal counsel and receiving confirmation letters from both internal and external legal counsel involved in these matters. We also discussed the allegations with the Company’s finance department, inspected relevant correspondence with authorities, and inspected the minutes of the meetings of the Audit Committee, Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee. For claims settled during the year, we read the related settlement agreements and agreed the cash payments to these, as appropriate. Specifically related to ongoing investigations into alleged non-compliance with laws and regulations regarding events leading to the Respironics recall, we were supported by forensic specialists and legal specialists in assessing certain technical aspects of the alleged non-compliance matters, legal claims, and litigation. To assess the completeness of the provisions and contingent liabilities, we reviewed publicly available information, such as press releases, notifications issued by regulatory bodies, media reports and publications. For the personal injury litigation and medical monitoring class action settlement in the US, we obtained the settlement agreement and agreed the terms and conditions to the amount recorded for the provision. We evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure for provisions for legal claims and litigation, and contingent liabilities, as included in the group financial statements.
Key observations | We consider the Board of Management’s assessment and conclusion on the expected outcome of the above matters reasonable, and the accounting of legal claims and litigation adequate. We evaluated that the disclosures in the group financial statements related to provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets are adequate.

Recognition of deferred tax assets in the United States
Risk | The net deferred tax assets of EUR 1,835 million consist of deferred tax assets of EUR 1,916 million and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 81 million. As more fully described in Note 8, Income Taxes, of the total deferred tax assets of EUR 1,916 million as of December 31, 2024, EUR 1,188 million is recognized in respect of entities in various countries where there have been tax losses in the current or preceding financial year, primarily the United States (US). Deferred tax assets are 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 these can be utilized. Determining whether such taxable profits are probable involves significant judgment, which includes but is not limited to, the availability and timing of reversal of offsetting deferred tax liabilities, the projection of available future tax profits and the expected period of recovery. Auditing the recognition of deferred tax assets in the US was complex because it involved significant judgment and management assumptions related to projections used to determine future taxable income, which were derived from the Company’s strategic plan, and estimation uncertainty in determining the expected period of recovery.
Our audit approach | Our audit procedures included, amongst others, evaluating the appropriateness of the tax accounting in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes” and whether the accounting policies have been applied consistently or whether changes, if any, are appropriate in the circumstances. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the recognition of deferred tax assets in the US. This included controls over management’s process related to the assessment of the model used to project future taxable income, the assumptions used in the income projections, and controls over the mathematical accuracy of the calculation. To evaluate management’s recognition of the US deferred tax assets, we performed procedures to test the projections of future taxable income, based on the Company’s strategic plan, including assessment of the historical accuracy of management’s forecasting assumptions. We also benchmarked the projections of future taxable income to industry trends, performed sensitivity analyses over the key forecasting inputs, evaluated the risk-adjusted scenarios, and tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s model. With the assistance of our tax professionals, we assessed the reasonableness of the expected period of recovery by analyzing the timing and right of offset of certain deferred tax assets with deferred tax liabilities. We also evaluated the adequacy of management’s disclosures around deferred tax assets as included in the group financial statements.
Key observations | We consider management’s assumptions and estimates made in determining the recoverability of the deferred tax assets in the US to be reasonable. We evaluated that the disclosures related to the deferred tax assets in the US in the group financial statements are adequate.

Report on other information included in the annual report

Description of responsibilities regarding the financial statements
Responsibilities of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board for the financial
statements
The Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with IFRSs-EU and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore,
the Board of Management is responsible for such internal control as the Board of Management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, the Board of Management is responsible for
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting
frameworks mentioned, the Board of Management should prepare the financial statements using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of
Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain
sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we
may not detect all material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error during our audit.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of
our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.
We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout
the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence
requirements. The ‘Information in support of our opinion’ section above includes an informative
summary of our responsibilities and the work performed as the basis for our opinion.
Our audit further included among others:
• Performing audit procedures responsive to the risks identified, and obtaining audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
• Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
• Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Management
• Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures
• Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Communication
We communicate with the Supervisory Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal
control that we identify during our audit. In this respect, we also submit an additional report to the
audit committee of the Supervisory Board in accordance with Article 11 of the EU Regulation on
specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities. The information included
in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor’s report.
We provide the Supervisory Board with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

9.3.3 Limited assurance report of the independent auditor on the sustainability
statement
To: the Supervisory Board and Shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V.
Our conclusion
We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the consolidated sustainability statement
for 2024 of Koninklijke Philips N.V. based in Eindhoven (hereinafter: Philips or the Company) in
Chapter 8 Sustainability statement of the accompanying management report including the
information incorporated in the sustainability statement by reference (hereinafter: the sustainability
statement).
Based on our procedures performed and the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the sustainability statement is not, in all material respects:
• Prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as adopted
by the European Commission and compliant with the double materiality assessment process
carried out by the Company to identify the information reported pursuant to the ESRS
• Compliant with the reporting requirements provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852
(Taxonomy Regulation)
Our conclusion has been formed on the basis of the matters outlined in this limited assurance
report.
Basis for our conclusion
We have performed our limited assurance engagement on the sustainability statement in
accordance with Dutch law, including Dutch Standard 3810N, “Assurance-opdrachten inzake
duurzaamheidsverslaggeving” (Assurance engagements relating to sustainability reporting), which
is a specified Dutch standard that is based on the International Standard on Assurance
Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), “Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of
historical financial information”.
Our assurance engagement was aimed to obtain a limited level of assurance that the sustainability
statement is free from material misstatements. The procedures vary in nature and timing from, and
are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of
assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance
that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in the section ‘Our responsibilities for the
limited assurance engagement on the sustainability statement of our report.
We are independent of Koninklijke Philips N.V. in accordance with the Verordening inzake de
onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence
regulations in the Netherlands. This includes that we do not perform any activities that could result
in a conflict of interest with our independent assurance engagement and we are not involved in the
preparation of the sustainability statement, as doing so may compromise our independence.
Furthermore, we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants
(VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants). The ViO and VGBA are at least as
demanding as the International code of ethics for professional accountants (including International
independence standards) of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (the IESBA
Code) as relevant to limited assurance engagements on sustainability statements of public interest
entities in the European Union.
We believe that the assurance evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our conclusion.
Emphasis of matter
The sustainability statement has been prepared in a context of new sustainability reporting
standards, requiring entity-specific interpretations and addressing inherent measurement or
evaluation uncertainties. In this context, we want to emphasize the following matters:
Emphasis on the most significant uncertainties affecting the quantitative metrics and
monetary amounts
We draw attention to section 8.2 General basis for preparation paragraph Sources of estimation
and outcome uncertainty in the sustainability statement that identifies the quantitative metrics and
monetary amounts that are subject to a high level of measurement uncertainty and discloses
information about the sources of measurement uncertainty and the assumptions, approximations
and judgements the Company has made in measuring these in compliance with the ESRS. The
significant uncertainties relate to estimates and assumptions used and reliance on third-party
evidence in the metrics “Lives Improved”, “Environmental Profit & Loss statement”, and “Scope 3
emissions” and are further elaborated in the “Methodology for calculating Lives Improved”, version
2024 (Lives Improved methodology), the “Methodology for calculating the Environmental Proﬁt &
Loss Account and Material Flow”, version 2024 (EPL and Material Flow methodology) and the
“Methodology for calculating scope 3 emissions”, version 2024 (Scope 3 Accounting
methodology), as available on the website of Philips.

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

The comparability of sustainability information between entities and over time may be affected by
the lack of historical sustainability information in accordance with the ESRS and by the absence of a
uniform practice on which to draw, to evaluate and measure this information. This allows for the
application of different, but acceptable, measurement techniques, especially in the initial years.
Emphasis on the double materiality assessment process
We draw attention to section 8.3 Double Materiality Assessment in the sustainability statement.
This disclosure explains future improvements in the ongoing due diligence and double materiality
assessment process, including robust engagement with affected stakeholders. Due diligence is an
on-going practice that responds to and may trigger changes in the Company’s strategy, business
model, activities, business relationships, operating, sourcing and selling contexts. The double
materiality assessment process requires the Company to make key judgments and use thresholds
and may also be impacted in time by sector-specific standards to be adopted.
Therefore, the sustainability statement may not include every impact, risk and opportunity or
additional entity-specific disclosure that each individual stakeholder (group) may consider important
in its own particular assessment.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Comparative information not assured
The following sustainability information relating to the years prior to 2024 included in the
sustainability statement, has not been part of this assurance engagement. Consequently, we do not
provide any assurance on this comparative information and thereto related disclosures in the
sustainability statement. The following sustainability information has not been part of an assurance
engagement:
• S1-6 contingent worker (type of workers) – reporting year 2023
• S1-6 employees per segment, employment by consolidation changes, employees per geographic
areas in FTE – reporting years 2022 and 2023
• S1-16 pay gap – reporting years 2022 and 2023
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Limitation to the scope of our assurance engagement
In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with the ESRS, the Board of Management
describes the underlying assumptions and methods of producing the information, as well as other
factors that provide evidence that it reflects the actual plans or decisions made by the Company
(actions). Forward-looking information relates to events and actions that have not yet occurred and
may never occur. The actual outcome is likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do
not occur as expected. We do not provide assurance on the achievability of forward-looking
information.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board for the
sustainability statement
The Board of Management is responsible for the preparation of the sustainability statement in
accordance with the ESRS, including the double materiality assessment process carried out by the
Company as the basis for the sustainability statement and disclosure of material impacts, risks and
opportunities in accordance with the ESRS. As part of the preparation of the sustainability
statement, the Board of Management is responsible for compliance with the reporting
requirements provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation).
The Board of Management is also responsible for selecting and applying additional entity-specific
disclosures to enable users to understand the Company’s sustainability-related impacts, risks or
opportunities and for determining that these additional entity-specific disclosures are suitable in the
circumstances and in accordance with the ESRS.
Furthermore, the Board of Management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of the sustainability statement that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the sustainability reporting process including
the double materiality assessment process carried out by the Company.
Our responsibilities for the limited assurance engagement on the sustainability
statement
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the limited assurance engagement in a manner that allows
us to obtain sufficient and appropriate assurance evidence for our conclusion.
We apply the applicable quality management requirements pursuant to the Nadere voorschriften
kwaliteitsmanagement (NVKM, regulations for quality management) and the International Standard
on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality
management including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical
requirements, professional standards and other relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
Our limited assurance engagement included amongst others:
• Performing inquiries and an analysis of the external environment and obtaining an
understanding of relevant sustainability themes and issues, the characteristics of the Company,
its activities and the value chain and its key intangible resources in order to assess the double
materiality assessment process carried out by the Company as the basis for the sustainability
statement and disclosure of all material sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities in
accordance with the ESRS

9.4 Corporate governance report
9.4.1 Introduction
Management and oversight responsibilities and accountability within our company are ultimately
guided by the corporate governance of the parent company of the Philips group, Koninklijke Philips
N.V. (Royal Philips). Royal Philips is a company organized under Dutch law and 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 members of the Board of Management, supported by the other members
of the Executive Committee drive the company’s management agenda and share responsibility for
the continuity of the Philips group, focusing on sustainable long-term value creation. Our
independent Supervisory Board supervises the Board of Management and the Executive Committee
and advises them on general policies related to the activities of the company, including setting and
executing the strategy of the Philips group. These responsibilities include the oversight of the
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) dimensions and their integration into the company’s
overarching strategy, which is a responsibility of the Supervisory Board as a whole because of their
significance .
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 20, 2022) and US laws and regulations applicable to
Foreign Private Issuers.
In this Corporate governance 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 article 2:391 of the Dutch Civil Code) included in the Annual Report address
the strategy and culture of Philips aimed at sustainable long-term value creation. As described in
more detail in Strategic focus , Philips’ strategy is driven by our purpose: to improve people’s health
and well-being through meaningful innovation. The Message from the CEO explains how this
strategy was executed in 2024; refer also to Financial performance . Furthermore, reference is made
to the Philips integrated operating model , which, among others, includes standards for behaviors,
quality, and integrity within Philips.
Philips’ strategy, and the way it has been developed by the Board of Management, under the
supervision of the Supervisory Board as a whole, clearly integrates the company’s impact in the field
of sustainability, including the effects on people and planet. Refer to Driving impact for people and
planet in section 2.1, and chapter 4 (Environmental, Social and Governance) for references to all
other information on Environmental, Social and Governance included in our sustainability report.
We engage with our stakeholders and use a double materiality analysis to identify the ESG topics
that we believe have the greatest impact: those having financial materiality (the impact of society
on Philips) as well as those having impact materiality (the impact of Philips on society); refer to
section 4.3.8 (Working with stakeholders and advocacy) and section 8.3 (Double Materiality
Assessment). Our materiality assessment underpins the relevance of our fully integrated approach
to doing business responsibly and sustainably, including a comprehensive set of key commitments
across all the ESG dimensions that guide execution of our strategy; refer to Our key ESG
commitments. As one of these commitments, Philips considers its tax payments as a significant
contribution to the communities in which it operates, and an integral part of its social value
creation; refer to section 4.3.7 (Tax contribution).

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 (maximum)
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 (a maximum 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 the event 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).
A shareholders’ resolution to suspend or dismiss a member of the Board of Management, other
than a resolution proposed by the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board, may only be
adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast, representing at least one-third of the issued share
capital. The other members of the Executive Committee are appointed, suspended and dismissed
by the CEO, subject to approval by the Supervisory Board.
9.4.3 Supervisory Board
Introduction
The Supervisory Board oversees the policies, management and 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 its 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. Currently, the Supervisory Board as a
whole is considered independent, as 10 out of 11 members are independent under the Dutch
Corporate Governance Code, and for Mr Ribadeau-Dumas the independence exception of best
practice provision 2.1.7(iii) of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code is deemed to apply.
Furthermore, all members of its Audit Committee are independent under the rules of the US
Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the Audit Committee.
The Supervisory Board must approve certain important decisions of the Board of Management,
including decisions concerning the operational, business 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. A resolution to suspend or dismiss a
member of the Supervisory Board, other than a resolution proposed by the Supervisory Board, may
only be adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast, representing at least one third of the issued
share capital.
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 Supervisory Board report by the Supervisory Board . Typically, newly appointed members of
the Supervisory Board follow an induction program and interact with Executive Committee
members for deep-dives on matters such as strategy, finance and investor relations, quality,
governance, legal, sustainability and digitization.
Effective 2022, Dutch law provides a mandatory gender quota, requiring that at least one-third of
the Supervisory Board members are women and at least one-third men (for calculation purposes, a
total number of board members that cannot be divided by three must be rounded up to the next
number that can be divided by three). The quota is applicable to (i) the appointment of new
Supervisory Board members, and (ii) the re-appointment of acting board members after eight years
following their initial appointment. Except in certain exceptional circumstances, any appointment or
re-appointment resulting in a Supervisory Board composition that does not meet (or no longer
meets) the quota, will be invalid (null and void).
As announced on August 14, 2023, Philips and Exor N.V. entered into a Relationship Agreement
on August 13, 2023, which has been published on the company's website. The relationship
agreement includes Exor’s commitment to be a long-term minority investor in Philips and its right
to propose one member to the Supervisory Board. In this context, it is noted that, for as long as
Exor has such nomination right pursuant to the relationship agreement, the independence
exception of best practice provision 2.1.7(iii) of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code is deemed
to apply to any Exor nominee that has been appointed upon such nomination in accordance with
the Relationship Agreement.
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 Remuneration
Committee, the Audit 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 Executive Committee succession planning and 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 published on the
company’s website by the Supervisory Board ahead of the Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders. In performing its duties and responsibilities, the Remuneration Committee is assisted
by an external consultant and an in-house remuneration expert.
The Audit Committee assists the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for: the
integrity of the company’s financial statements; the financial and non-financial (ESG) reporting
processes; the effectiveness (also in respect of the reporting process) of the risk management and
internal controls framework; the internal and external audit process; the internal and external
auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance; and the company’s process for monitoring
compliance with laws and regulations and the General Business Principles (including related

| 267 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 competence relevant to the sector in which the
company is operating. In addition, Liz Doherty is 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 and (patient) safety 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, while recognizing that the
Audit Committee assists the Supervisory Board in its oversight of other areas of regulatory,
compliance and legal matters.
9.4.4 Other 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 2024 and are published on the company’s website. Pursuant to
Dutch law, the shareholders are entitled to vote on the adoption of the separate remuneration
policies for the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders (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 provide for a lower
majority).
A description of the composition of the remuneration paid and owed to the individual members of
the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board is included in the annual remuneration report
(as prepared by the Remuneration Committee, adopted by the Supervisory Board and published on
the company’s website). Shareholders have an advisory vote at each Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders on the remuneration report relating to the preceding financial year.
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 2024.
In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company does not grant personal
loans to, or 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 2024, nor were any
loans or guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
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 Dutch 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

| 268 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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
The selection of candidates for appointment is always based on merit. Candidates for appointment
to the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management and the Executive Committee are selected also
taking into account the company’s Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, the Board of
Management and the Executive Committee. This Diversity Policy aims at a sufficient diversity of
views and the expertise needed for a good understanding of current affairs and longer-term risks
and opportunities related to the Company’s business, and is published on the company’s website.
Effective 2022, Dutch law provides that (re-)appointments of members of the Supervisory Board
must be in accordance with a mandatory gender quota, requiring that at least one-third of the
Supervisory Board members are women (and at least one-third are men). There are certain
exceptions where the gender quota does not apply, such as the re-appointments within eight years
of the initial appointment and (re-)appointments made in exceptional circumstances.
For more details on the Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management and
the Executive Committee, refer to Report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination &
Selection Committee ; for more information on the profile and composition of the Supervisory
Board refer to Supervisory Board report .
Philips’ commitment to Inclusion & Diversity is also reflected in the company-wide General Business
Principles, the Inclusion & Diversity Policy and the Fair Employment Policy.
Conflicts of interest
Dutch law on conflicts of interest provides that members of the Board of Management or
Supervisory Board may not participate in the adoption of resolutions if they have 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 procedures to deal with such conflicts
should they arise. Relevant matters relating to conflicts of interest, if any, must be mentioned in the
Annual Report (specifically the management report) for the financial year in question. No decision
to enter into any such material transaction in which there is a conflict of interest with a member of
the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board, or with any major shareholder (holding at
least 10% of the company’s shares) was taken during the financial year 2024.
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 2024 all
members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board complied with the limitations
described above in this paragraph.
9.4.5 General Meeting of Shareholders
Meetings
T he 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; and 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.

| 269 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 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, to
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
• 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 that 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, 2024, the issued share capital
amounted to EUR 187,987,876.80 divided into 939,939,384 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 article 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, 2024, approximately 91% of the common shares were held through the
system of Euroclear Nederland (Euroclear shares) and approximately 9% of the common shares
were represented by New York Registry Shares issued in the name of approximately 765 holders of
record. The latter include Cede & Co. Cede & Co acts as nominee for The Depository Trust
Company, which holds 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 US beneficial holders or the number of New York Registry
Shares beneficially held by US residents.
At the 2024 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 November 6, 2025. This authorization is limited to a maximum of
10% of the number of shares issued as of May 7, 2024.
In addition, at the 2024 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 November 6, 2025. The maximum number of shares the company may hold will not
exceed 10% of the issued share capital as of May 7, 2024. 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.

9.4.6 Annual 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’ external auditor, Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, was appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders held on
May 7, 2015, for a term of four years starting January 1, 2016, 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, was re-appointed at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 10, 2022, for
a term of one year starting January 1, 2023, and was re-appointed at the Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders held on May 9, 2023, for a term of one year starting January 1, 2024.
In 2023, following a competitive audit tender completed under the leadership of the Audit
Committee in anticipation of the expiration of EY Accountants B.V.'s (the legal successor of Ernst &
Young Accountants LLP) statutory audit mandate, the Supervisory Board, upon the
recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommended the appointment of
PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. as the company’s new external auditor to the General
Meeting of Shareholders. PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V., an independent registered
public accounting firm, was appointed at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on
May 9, 2023, as the company’s new external auditor for a term of four years starting January 1,
2025. As a result, following completion of EY Accountants B.V.'s audit of our financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the audit of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants
N.V. will become Philips’ external auditor.
European and Dutch law requires the separation of audit and certain non-audit services. The
external auditor may only provide audit and audit-related services and is prohibited from providing
any other 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 with respect to 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 2024, there were no services
provided to the company by the external auditor that were not pre-approved by the Audit
Committee.
9.4.7 Stichting 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 article 2:344 of the 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. The Foundation's 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, 2024.
The members of the self-electing Board of the Foundation are Messrs J.P. de Kreij, J.V.
Timmermans, J. van der Veer and P.N. Wakkie. No Philips Supervisory Board or Board of
Management members or Philips officers are represented on the board of the Foundation.
Other protective measures
Other than the arrangements made with the Foundation referred to above, the company does not
have any measures that 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 . Furthermore, the Relationship Agreement entered
into between the company and its long-term minority investor Exor N.V. (published on the
company’s website) includes certain temporary lock-up obligations for Exor that fall away when any
third party has ‘Acquired’ an ‘Interest’ of 50% or more in the company.
9.4.8 Investor relations
Philips is continuously focused on maintaining strong and open relations with its shareholders. In
addition to communication with its shareholders at shareholders’ meetings, the company may discuss
its financial results during conference calls, which are broadly accessible. The company also publishes
annual, semi-annual and quarterly reports and press releases, and informs investors via its website.
From time to time the company communicates with investors and analysts via roadshows, broker
conferences and a Capital Markets Day, which are announced in advance on the company’s
website. The purpose of these engagements is to further inform the market of the results, strategy
and decisions made, as well as to receive feedback from shareholders. It is the company’s policy to
post presentations to investors and analysts on its website. Philips applies the best practice
provision 4.2.3 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, which it does not view (in line with
market practice) as extending to less important analyst meetings and presentations.
Furthermore, Philips engages in bilateral communications with investors and analysts. These
communications take place either at the initiative of the company or at the initiative of investors/
analysts. The company is generally represented by its Investor Relations department during these
interactions, however, on a limited number of occasions the Investor Relations department is
accompanied by one or more members of the senior management. The subject matter of the
bilateral communications ranges from individual queries from investors/analysts to more elaborate
discussions following disclosures that the company has made, such as its annual and quarterly
reports. Philips complies with applicable rules and regulations on fair and non-selective disclosure
and equal treatment of shareholders.
9.4.9 Major shareholders as filed with the AFM
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 Dutch 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: Exor N.V.: substantial holding of 15.00% and 15.00% of the voting rights
(August 13, 2023); Artisan Investments GP LLC: substantial holding of 10.01% and 10.01% of the
voting rights (June 28, 2024); BlackRock, Inc.: substantial holding of 4.38% and 5.56% of the
voting rights (February 12, 2025); T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.: substantial holding of 3.05% and
3.04% of the voting rights (October 29, 2024), EdgePoint Investment Group Inc.: substantial
holding of 0.00% and 3.10% of the voting rights (October 28, 2024).

9.5 Risk factors and responses
Philips believes the risks set out below are the material risks affecting Philips and its securities. 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, revenue, income, assets, liquidity, capital resources, reputation and/or ability to
achieve its business and ESG objectives. Please note that this section is not intended to describe
risks that have materialized, as these are addressed in other sections and referenced where
relevant. Philips defines risks in four main categories: Strategic, Operational, Financial and
reporting, and Compliance. Philips presents the risk factors within each category in order of current
view of their expected significance. Compared to the previous year we have further prioritized risk
factors relating to geopolitics and macro-economics and to artificial intelligence. We have
continued high prioritization of risk factors related to patient safety and quality, supply chain, and
the simplification of how we work. Although still relevant, we have de-emphasized risk factors
related to global inflation. This does not mean that a lower-listed risk factor may not have a
material and adverse impact on Philips’ business, revenue, income, assets, liquidity, capital
resources, reputation, and/or ability to achieve its business and ESG objectives. Furthermore, other
risk factors not listed below may ultimately prove to have more significant adverse consequences
than the listed risk factors.
We aim to manage risk within our risk appetite. Pursuing strategic opportunities within the
dynamics of the health technology industry typically requires a higher appetite towards the
corresponding strategic risks. We may accept considerable strategic risks in a responsible way given
the necessity to invest in research and development and to manage the portfolio of businesses to
ensure we continually revitalize our offerings. For selected options with very high strategic impact,
we may occasionally take a risk seeking approach subject to careful evaluation. Toward operational
risks, we overall take a balanced-to-prudent approach, aiming to optimize productivity and
minimize downside risks considering the need for continuity of the delivery of our products,
services and sustainability commitments; efficient execution; and reliable and secure IT systems.
Where operational risks may impact the quality of our products and services and the safety of
patients, we take an averse approach. Regarding financial and reporting risks, we adopt a prudent-
to-balanced approach aiming at the financial sustainability of the company, investor commitment
and stakeholder trust. We manage these risks with the intention of retaining our current strong
investment-grade credit rating. As Philips is committed to act with integrity always, we take an
averse-to-prudent approach to any risk that would result in breach of compliance with our General
Business Principles and mandatory laws and regulations.
In the following sections we provide a description of each material risk factor we have identified, as
well as our main risk mitigating responses, which we believe help us to manage these risks.
However, we may not be successful in deploying some or all of the described mitigating actions
effectively, or these actions may not achieve the anticipated effect. If specific circumstances occur
or are not sufficiently mitigated, our value creation objectives could be materially adversely
affected. In addition, risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to vary from those described
(including those described in forward-looking statements), could impact our ability to meet our
targets, or could negatively impact the reputation of, or sentiment toward Philips, our products,
and our brand. The risk responses described below are designed to manage risks toward, and
should be read in conjunction with, the risk appetite as described above.
9.5.1 Strategic risks
Philips’ global operations are exposed to geopolitical and macro-economic
changes
Philips’ business and operations can be adversely impacted by unfavorable macro-economic
conditions and geopolitical instability in global and individual markets. In 2024, Mature
geographies accounted for 73% of Philips’ revenues, while Growth geographies accounted for the
remaining 27% . While Mature geographies are currently the main source of Philips’ revenues,
Growth geographies (excluding China) are an increasing source of revenues. Philips produces,
sources, and designs its products and services mainly from the United States (US), the European
Union (EU) – primarily the Netherlands, and China, and most of Philips’ assets are located in these
geographies. Changes in politics and monetary, trade, tax policies and sanction laws in the US, the
EU and China may trigger reactions and countermeasures and may also have an adverse impact on
other markets in which Philips is active. Philips continues to expect global market conditions to
remain highly uncertain and volatile due to geopolitical and macro-economic factors.
Philips observes an increasing trend of geopolitical tensions and deglobalization which intensifies
protectionism. Examples of protectionism measures are trade policies, tariffs, custom duties,
taxation, import or export controls and sanctions, local value creation and production requirements,
technology and data storage and movement restrictions, talent mobility restrictions, nationalization
of assets, and restrictions on repatriation of returns from foreign investments. Tariffs and other
restrictions on imports announced and proposed by US President Donald Trump and his
administration, and retaliatory trade measures in response thereto, have the potential to impact
international trade relations and supply chains, with notable consequences for the EU. In addition,
protectionism may increase general uncertainty on the development of local regulations that may
result in proliferation of and changes to such regulations, causing the company to comply with
disparate, evolving standards. Philips observes this trend in the major markets in which it operates
and has a particular concern on the development of the US-China relationship and China’s drive to
expand its global political footprint and become self-sufficient in critical technologies, including
health-related ones. China's anti-corruption campaign may also negatively impact demand within
the medical industry. If this trend continues, geopolitical relations deteriorate and economies
decouple, then it is expected that existing global trade and investment restrictions will remain or
increase. Further regulatory and compliance challenges for doing business globally may emerge and
deteriorate, resulting in continued pressure on market growth and investments.
Uncertainty and challenges regarding various global macro-economic factors continue to persist.
Examples of general factors potentially affecting Philips are an overall weakening economic growth
and the trend of declining growth of the Chinese economy in particular, reduced government
spending, declining customer and consumer confidence and spending, high inflation and interest
rates, and the emergence of economic impacts related to the climate crisis. Although the ability to
manage pandemics (for example, resurgences of COVID-19 or mutations thereof) has improved,

| 273 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

pandemics may continue to affect Philips’ operations in the future. Examples of healthcare-specific
potential factors include rising uncertainty over the future direction of public healthcare policy and
the risk of declining public investment in healthcare ecosystems. These factors could affect
customer demand and sales as well as our manufacturing costs, operating expenses (including
wages), and other expenses. We may not be able to compensate for loss of sales through overall
sales growth or manage increased costs by improving productivity and increasing our prices to
offset increased costs in a timely manner, if at all, which could have a material impact on our
revenue, gross margins, profitability and cash flows.
The Russia-Ukraine war has increased global economic and political uncertainty. Governments in
the US, the UK, the EU, Canada, and Japan have each imposed export controls on certain products
and sanctions on certain industry sectors and institutions in Russia, and additional controls and
sanctions could be enacted in the future. Similarly, conflicts in Israel and the Middle East may
further increase economic and political uncertainty and may affect the company’s results of
operations, financial position and cash flows. Philips is present in Israel with several subsidiaries,
mainly in Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care, that are primarily involved in manufacturing
and research and development activities. The outcome of the recent elections in the US and the
upcoming elections in certain member states of the EU could also have an impact on the course of
these conflicts. The ongoing conflicts may heighten the impact of other risks factors described
herein, including but not limited to: volatility in prices for transportation, energy, commodities and
other raw materials; disruptions in the global supply chain; decreased customer and consumer
confidence and spending; increased cyberattacks; intensified protectionism; political and social
instability; increased exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; rising inflation and interest rates;
and constraints, volatility or disruptions in the credit and capital markets. It is possible that the
conflicts in Ukraine and Russia and the Middle East may escalate or expand and current or future
sanctions and resulting geopolitical and macro-economic disruptions could be significant. We
cannot predict the impact that conflicts may have on the global economy in the future.
Changes in geopolitical and macro-economic conditions are difficult to predict, and the factors
described above, or other factors, may lead to adverse impacts on global trade levels and flows,
economic growth, and financial markets and political stability, all of which could adversely affect
the demand for, and supply of, Philips products and services. This may result in a material adverse
impact on Philips’ business, financial condition, and operating results. These factors could also
make it more difficult to budget and to make reliable financial forecasts, or could have a negative
impact on Philips’ access to funding.
Risk response: Philips monitors economic, political, and general societal changes and, where
necessary, develops response strategies to such events. We closely monitor market conditions such
as inflation, interest rates and foreign currency developments to enable timely response through
cost reduction or pricing measures. High-risk markets (for example, markets exposed to high
volatility and have experienced hyperinflation) are regularly assessed for emerging risks, and if
necessary, capital structure planning is performed. The Philips Group Crisis Operations team has
activated response teams that are running programs on Russia and Ukraine as well as on Israel and
the Middle East. To be less exposed to the uncertainty caused by the Russia-Ukraine war we actively
reduced balance sheet exposure in these markets. The response to conflicts in Israel is more
complex as we also maintain a manufacturing footprint in the country. Developments in Israel are
being monitored carefully by the response team to ensure the safety of our workforce in the
country.
Philips is active in more than 100 countries, and we believe that this global footprint allows us to
better deal with adverse local market developments. Philips establishes a strong local presence in
both mature and growth geographies through market-specific strategies (for example for China,
the US, and the EU). These market strategies cover various local value-creation aspects such as
innovation, manufacturing and assembly; hosting of health data; and capability development.
These strategies also leverage our in-depth knowledge of healthcare and consumer needs,
Research & Development, Quality Management Systems, sustainable global business models, and
brand. This local presence enables Philips to create value and tailor its propositions to local market
needs. In addition to local measures, Philips also optimizes its integrated supply chain organization,
supplier base, and global manufacturing footprint to enable agile responses to large and rapid
shifts in demand and supply globally.
Philips may be unable to keep pace with the changing health technology
environment
With Philips’ focus on health technology, our business model is transforming from transactional,
product-focused business models to customer- and patient-centric, outcome-oriented business
models, with multi-year customer partnerships enabled by a portfolio of innovative devices,
solutions, platforms, insights and value-added services. If this transformation is not targeted at
successful products and services or is made too slowly or is not successful, Philips may not meet the
expectations of customers, patients or other stakeholders in the health technology business
environment. We may face a loss of customer relevance, fail to capture growth, and lose market
share. In addition, because of our health technology focus, Philips may have a reduced ability to
offset potential negative impacts (including, but not limited to, impacts on sales, operating results,
liabilities, compliance, and financing) on its health technology business by other businesses through
a more diversified portfolio. As a result of its focus on health technology, Philips is deepening
customer engagement and entering into long-term solutions and services business arrangements,
becoming more dependent on a number of key customers for long-term recurring revenues, thus
increasing the risk that the loss of, or a significant reduction in, orders from one or more of our key
customers could cause a significant decline in our revenues. As Philips looks to increase our use of
indirect sales channels, Philips will increasingly rely on successfully leveraging new and existing
partners to support customers and patients. Any of these factors may have a material adverse
impact on Philips’ brand value and reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results.
More specific health technology risks and their potential impacts are included in the Operational,
Financial and Compliance risk sections below as well as in the note Contingencies.

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Risk response: Philips is running multiple interconnected initiatives intended to enable, strengthen
and accelerate various aspects of our business model to the standards of the health technology
business environment. These initiatives include, but are not limited to, patient safety, quality,
patient-centric innovation, environmental and social impact, productivity and compliance. For
examples of responses to these various aspects we refer to the related risk factors in this section.
Furthermore, the Philips integrated business model is intended to promote accountability and agility
as we pursue the end-to-end alignment of our governance, processes and IT systems to maintain a
people- and patient-centric portfolio of offerings. We are making our solutions and insights
available through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and increasingly
with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are also expanding digital customer engagement and
e-commerce channels, as well as activation of our offerings in markets, either directly or through
our managed network of partners. We run a partner management program aimed to maintain a
strong network of committed partners who share our patient-centric mindset. Where Philips
engages in long-term service-based business models, we aim to run a disciplined deal process with
strict acceptance criteria. Our integrated portfolio of products, solutions and services covers the
various stages in health, including healthy living, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and home care,
without significant dependence on a single product, solution, service or market.
Philips may be unable to gain leadership in health informatics and artificial
intelligence
New digital technologies and ways of conducting business are fundamentally changing the health
technology industry, and thus our competitive business environment. A key industry trend is the
shift toward cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business models and remotely upgradable,
serviceable systems. These new types of offerings are enabled by hybrid cloud/on-premise digital
platforms. Another trend is the application of (generative) artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning technologies to drive quality and efficiency in clinical and operational workflows.
Customers are seeking solutions that convert data from our imaging and monitoring systems into
actionable insights within workflows.
Philips is expanding the use of AI in the development of its technologies and is increasingly
incorporating AI capabilities in its products and services to improve customer experiences and drive
efficiencies. The development of AI technologies is complex and Philips may fall behind established
and new digital competitors if Philips does not develop the requisite capabilities to innovate its
portfolio of AI-enabled products and services, adjust its business models and find ways to globally
commercialize new products and services at scale and in a timely, competitive and ethically and
legally compliant manner. This could result in an inability to satisfy customer and patient needs,
thereby missing out on revenue and margin growth opportunities, which may have a material
adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.
Risk response: In 2023, Philips brought all healthcare informatics businesses together into one end-
to-end business, called Enterprise Informatics. Taking this enterprise-wide view, Philips unlocks
insights at scale from combined imaging and monitoring data pools to improve workflows,
enhance the caregiver and patient experience, and elevate care delivery. Enterprise Informatics has
positioned Philips as a global leader and trusted partner for healthcare informatics, including
integrated diagnostics, enterprise imaging, virtual care enablement, and point-of-care insights and
analytics. The business has an end-to-end software-oriented operating model, value chain and go-
to-market capabilities tailored for informatics, and corresponding business model to enable it to
move at a faster pace and deliver the differentiated advantage Enterprise Informatics brings to
Philips and value to our customers.
Philips is delivering on a set of key initiatives within the Enterprise Informatics business to accelerate
the transformation of informatics-enabled propositions, some examples include the following.
Philips has partnered with leading industry partners, such as Amazon Web Services, to modernize
existing informatics propositions (such as Radiology Picture Archiving and Communications System
(PACS), Enterprise Digital Pathology Systems, cardiology informatics) to a SaaS model in the cloud
and accelerate the migration and adoption for its customer installed base. To increase market
penetration of Enterprise Informatics, Philips continues to invest in vendor-neutral offerings. This
allows us to engage with a broader set of customers, beyond the current installed base where
Philips might not have any hardware presence. Vendor-neutrality can be used to familiarize
customers with the value that Philips offers and potentially create more value for Philips.
Philips is also developing new informatics propositions with explicit data and AI strategies, such as
acute care management with clinical decision support. The business is partnering with clinical and
technology providers across our value chain to further enable the business to extend its propositions
with state-of-the-art data and AI (including generative AI) capabilities, enabling Philips businesses to
provide AI-enabled applications that can offer insights at scale to customers. To do this securely,
with speed and consistency with industry best practice, Philips is implementing a global data and AI
strategy across its businesses and invests in the further increase of our maturity on data engineering
capabilities required to scale its AI product and pipeline. This data, software, and AI expertise is also
leveraged to transform Philips’ traditional modality businesses, such as imaging and monitoring,
towards ‘software-defined systems’ with features, functions, and services that are primarily defined
in software and continually upgraded over the lifetime to enable continuous value delivery to our
customers (such as the enhancement of magnetic resonance systems with AI-based reconstruction
or remote sensing capabilities, and preventative maintenance services).
Acquisitions could fail to deliver on Philips’ business plans and value creation
expectations, and we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired
operations
Although Philips focuses on organic growth to deliver patient- and people-driven innovation at
scale, selected acquisitions remain part of Philips’ growth strategy. We may not be able to integrate
acquisitions successfully or efficiently with our existing operations, culture and systems, which may
expose Philips to risks in areas such as sales and service, logistics, quality, regulatory compliance,
legal claims, information technology, and finance. Integration challenges may adversely impact the
realization of value creation expectations. Transactions may incur significant costs, result in
unforeseen operating difficulties, divert management attention from other business priorities, and
may ultimately be unsuccessful. Cost savings expected to be implemented, or other assumptions
underlying the business case relating to a particular acquisition, may not be realized. If we are

| 275 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

unable to successfully define, or accomplish any of our objectives in respect of any of our new
acquisitions, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions and we may
experience lower than anticipated profits, or even incur losses. Acquisitions may also lead to a
substantial increase in long-lived assets, including goodwill, which may later be subject to write-
down or impairment if an acquired business does not perform as expected, which may have a
material adverse effect on Philips’ earnings.
Risk response: Philips maintains an active Mergers and Acquisitions funnel per business to monitor
organizational fit. Philips aims to use a structured and disciplined acquisition process with strict
acceptance criteria, budgets and tollgates, and time allocated for critical review of due diligence,
including integration risks and expected integration benefits. A broad range of internal and external
functional experts are involved in this process. Philips develops and deploys a high-quality post-
acquisition integration playbook with set milestones and conducts value-creation progress reviews
with the responsible business leader throughout the integration of each acquisition.
Philips may be unable to meet internal or external aims or expectations with
respect to ESG-related matters
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors may directly and indirectly impact Philips
Businesses or the business environment in which Philips operates. For instance, customers may
choose products or services based on sustainability or other ESG criteria. At the same time, also
ESG adverse sentiments exist among certain stakeholders, and we may face scrutiny, reputational
risk, product boycotts, lawsuits or market access restrictions from these parties regarding our ESG-
related initiatives. Philips may, from time to time, disclose ESG-related initiatives or aims in
connection with the conduct of its business and operations. For example, Philips has adopted
initiatives with respect to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain. However, there is
no guarantee that Philips will be able to implement such initiatives or meet such aims within
anticipated timeframes, considering, for example, the technological limitations in the research and
development process. Philips is also increasingly focused on products and services incorporating
AI, and the development and use of our products and services incorporating AI may require more
energy than similar products or services not incorporating AI. In addition, there is an increasing
focus on ESG matters (both "pro-ESG" and "anti-ESG") from Philips stakeholders – including
customers, consumers, employees, regulators, and investors, and those stakeholders may also
have ESG-related expectations with respect to Philips’ business and operations. For example,
customers may focus on ESG-related criteria in buying our products e.g., through green
procurement standards.
Any inability by Philips to address concerns or meet expectations about ESG-related matters could
negatively impact sentiment toward Philips, our products, and our brand. Improper or incorrect
sustainability claims and low ESG scores could also potentially impact Philips' reputation and affect
sales. There are an increasing number of regulatory and legislative initiatives in the EU and other
jurisdictions to address ESG issues, which will (once implemented) require Philips to significantly
increase the scope of mandatory ESG disclosures, and will introduce or extend a duty of care,
requiring Philips to identify and act on adverse environmental and human rights impacts across
the organization and operations, and potentially the entire value chain, beyond or different from
our current efforts.
These regulatory and legislative initiatives, in turn, could also affect how customers or other
stakeholders perceive our products or business operations. If our products or business operations
do not meet the criteria for sustainability according to, for example, the EU Taxonomy Regulation
(including the related delegated regulations) or any other similar regulations, this may negatively
affect how customers or other stakeholders view Philips. Philips may fail to fulfill internal or
external ESG-related initiatives, aims, goals, targets or expectations, or be perceived to do so, or
we may fail to report performance or developments adequately or accurately with respect to such
initiatives, aims, goals, targets or expectations. In addition, Philips could be criticized or held
responsible if the scope of its initiatives, aims, goals or targets regarding ESG matters is deemed
insufficient. Any of these factors may have an adverse impact on Philips’ reputation and brand
value, competitiveness, or on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.
Risk response: We have adopted comprehensive and integrated Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) framework including certain key commitments for the period 2020-2025.
Environmental: We are working to minimize our impact on the planet by taking climate actions,
driving the transition to a circular economy, implementing EcoDesign in our products, and
partnering with our suppliers to reduce their environmental footprint. Social: We aim to deliver
social impact by improving people’s health and well-being, offering the best place to work, and
engaging with our suppliers and the communities where we operate. Governance: At Philips,
everything we do is anchored by ethical and responsible practices. Our corporate governance, the
Philips integrated operating model, General Business Principles and robust risk management and
internal control framework help us maintain the highest standards. Under ultimate supervision of
our Supervisory Board, our Board of Management monitors progress and assesses risks in relation
to our ESG strategy and makes recommendations for the continuous improvement of our ESG
endeavors. For more information, please refer to chapter 4 (Environmental, Social and Governance).
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 IP generation process that could be influenced by a number of
factors, including innovation and acquisitions. The value of the IP portfolio is dependent on the
successful promotion and market acceptance of standards (co-)developed by Philips. This is
particularly applicable to the segment ‘Other’, where licenses from Philips to third parties generate
IP royalties and contribute 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. Additionally, royalties are often based on sales by third parties, creating an
exposure to macro-economic effects and continuity of these third parties. 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. The use of artificial Intelligence AI in the development of
our products and services could also cause loss of IP. The legal landscape and subsequent legal

protection for the use of AI remains uncertain, and development of the law in this area could
impact our ability to enforce our proprietary rights or protect against infringing uses. Philips is also
exposed to the risk that a third party may claim to own IP rights to technology applied in Philips
products and services. The use or adoption of AI technologies into our products and services may
heighten the risk of exposure to claims of copyright infringement or other IP misappropriation. If
any such claims of infringement of these IP rights are successful, Philips may be required to pay
damages to such third parties or may incur other costs or losses.
Risk response: Philips has an Intellectual Property & Standards organization (IP&S) that proactively
pursues the creation of new IP and the protection of existing IP in close co-operation with Philips’
operating businesses and the Innovation & Strategy function. IP&S is a leading industrial IP
organization providing IP solutions to Philips to support Philips’ growth, competitiveness and
profitability. In addition, Philips believes our business is not materially dependent on any particular
third-party patent or license, or any particular group of third-party patents and licenses.
9.5.2 Operational risks
Products and services may fail quality or security standards, which could
adversely affect patient safety or customer operations
As a health technology company and innovator, our products and services must comply with the
rules and regulations that govern our operations, processes, and ways of working. Risks associated
with non-compliance to patient safety, quality, regulatory, or security standards can occur
throughout the lifecycle of our products or services, inclusive of pre-market activities (such as
product design, production and supplier quality activities) and post-market activities. As we increase
the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to support our customers, we may become more exposed
to the risks associated with the use of such technologies, such as lack of transparency, cybersecurity
and data provenance, toxicity, bias and deficient or inaccurate outputs and other unintended
consequences that are not easily detectable or are inconsistent with our policies and values.
Consequences of identified risks include patient harm, negatively impacting customers' operations
and healthcare professionals' ability to provide care, and unauthorized access to confidential data,
including patient records and medical devices. In turn, these may result in damage to our brand,
reputation, competitive disadvantage, legal liability and regulatory enforcement, all of which may
have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, reputation, financial condition, and operating
results.
Risk response: As patient safety and quality is at the heart of everything we do, we have stepped
up accountability ensuring that our products and services- new and in-use in the field by our
customers- meet product quality, safety and security standards. Through targeted efforts we are
strengthening processes involved in the design, development, supplier control, production,
installation, monitoring, and servicing of Philips health technology, products, and services. For
example, we invest in early medical safety assessment as well as early detection of safety signals
and active monitoring by the Medical Office. We are focusing on Design Controls to verify and
validate that product designs are robust prior to manufacture. We invest in systems, capabilities
and training to facilitate identification, correction, and prevention of potential patient safety or
quality issues. We emphasize testing and inspection quality checks across the product lifecycle,
which involves in-process manufacturing, product release, installation, and servicing controls. We
drive continuous improvement through addressing yield, non-conformance rates, stop-use orders,
field recalls, repairs, financial claims, and liabilities. This year, we strengthened medical safety and
implemented the Philips Safety Board, and further enhanced post-market surveillance and
corrections and removals monitoring. With regards to AI, we mitigate that associated risks by
establishing key capabilities and governance, tooling, and processes. Moreover, we invest in
improvements to our overall ways of working through our Medical Office as an integral partner of
the Philips process and improving our Quality Management Systems (QMS) by reducing complexity
and reducing the number of QMSs in which we operate for more effective and efficient execution.
We train all employees across Philips to recognize the need to meet product quality or security
standards and through a focus on fostering a culture of quality and patient safety, Philips
employees are working together to mitigate operational and compliance risks. Also refer to the
section Patient safety, quality and regulatory as well as the notes Provisions and Contingencies.
Philips may be unable to ensure a resilient supply chain
Most of Philips’ operations are conducted internationally, which exposes Philips to supply chain
challenges and uncertainties. Philips produces and procures products and parts in various countries
globally. The production and shipping of products and parts, whether from Philips or from third
parties, could be interrupted and may face increasing costs by various external factors, such as
regional conflicts (e.g., the Middle East), sanctions, tariffs or other trade measures, natural
disasters, extreme weather events (the effects of which may be exacerbated by climate change),
and geopolitical developments.
While macro trends around materials availability have improved in 2024, Philips medical systems
stay in production for longer periods than the life cycle of their semi-conductors and require
continuous rejuvenation of their electronic components. Philips may fail to timely obtain or replace
such components from existing supplies, and alternative sources of components could involve
significant costs and regulatory challenges and may not be available to us on reasonable terms,
adversely affecting our business and financial performance.
Our suppliers and our third-party service providers may also be exposed to labor shortages and
potentially worsening macro-economic and geopolitical trends, as well as both acute and chronic
physical climate risks. These factors may cause business interruptions, property damage, and
inventory loss, increasing lead times and adversely impacting our production capacity, which may
negatively affect the delivery of products and services to customers, for example the postponement
of equipment installations in hospitals. If Philips is not able to respond swiftly to those factors, this
may result in an inability to deliver on customer needs, ultimately resulting in loss of revenue and
margin.
Philips purchases raw materials, including rare-earth metals, copper, steel, aluminum, noble gases
and oil-related products. Philips’ business depends on the availability of raw materials and energy,
and there is no assurance that such raw materials and energy will be available for purchase in the
future or available at current costs. Particularly, the introduction of more stringent regulatory or

| 277 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

legislative measures to internalize negative externalities, such as the Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism (CBAM), can be expected in response to the threats posed by climate change and
environmental degradation. In this context, reference is also made to the EU Corporate
Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) introducing or extending a duty of care, requiring
Philips to identify and act on adverse environmental and human rights impacts across its supply
chain. These initiatives have the potential to affect market dynamics (e.g., green premiums) and the
availability of sustainable resources, which may, in turn, increase Philips’ costs associated with
purchasing materials and components. The rise in global climate commitments and new regulations
on Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) and Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs) may also drive
fluctuations in energy costs and affect the availability of EACs and PPAs.
Some commodities have been subject to volatile markets, and such volatility is expected to continue
and costs to increase. Costs may also increase as a result of stricter climate-change-related laws and
regulations. Such legislation could require investments in technology to reduce energy use and
greenhouse gas emissions, beyond what we expect in our existing plans, or could result in
additional and increased pricing for negative externalities (e.g., carbon pricing). If Philips is not able
to compensate for increased costs of energy, (sub-)components, (raw) materials, and transportation
– either by reducing reliance thereon or passing on increased costs to customers – then price
increases could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition, and
operating results.
Philips may increase its dependency on a concentration of external suppliers, as a result of the
continuing process of creating a leaner supply base and launching initiatives to replace internal
capabilities with outsourced products and services. These initiatives also need to be balanced with
local-market value-creation requirements, including those relating to local manufacturing and data
storage.
Although Philips works closely with its suppliers to avoid supply discontinuities, there can be no
assurance that Philips will not encounter future supply issues, causing disruptions or unfavorable
conditions. Furthermore, while the materials supply has improved in 2024, the challenges in our
capability for the planning and synchronization of supply with demand continue, which, combined
with a drive for inventory reduction and cash flow improvements, can lead to further materials
running out of stock. That could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial
condition and operating results.
Risk response: Philips has put in place a process to assess and reduce the supply risk of its critical
products. The two-pronged mitigation approach addresses the supplier risk and the component
obsolescence risk of its printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). The supplier risk management
framework assesses and manages suppliers from various perspectives, such as strategic fit, financial
stability, operational performance and quality, sustainability, compliance, and location. We also
maintain close relationships with our suppliers and maintain an ongoing dialogue on our forecast.
The PCBA refresh process identifies components that are either obsolete or that have an
announced future obsolescence date, and proactively replaces them, ensuring continuous
availability of active components. Furthermore, Philips is engaging with senior government officials,
strategic suppliers and foundries to prioritize healthcare supplies, directly working on component
issues across all tiers of suppliers and diversifying sourcing of high-risk components. These actions,
together with a trend in improved materials availability in markets, have yielded a normalized
materials supply in 2024 and have reduced the cost of spot buys. Internally, Philips is making
balanced investments in global and local supply chain capabilities to improve end-to-end planning,
synchronization of supply with demand, and data management.
We continue to deploy our strategy for a more regional versus global approach to our end-to-end
network design, taking into account factors such as customer proximity, leveraging manufacturing
capabilities, our environmental footprint, and efficiency. We are using our multi-modality sites, in
combination with contract manufacturing partners, to regionally ‘multi-source’ many of our
products.
Philips manages carbon pricing risk by reducing its full value-chain carbon footprint, as well as
partnering with suppliers to reduce their environmental footprint and closely monitor carbon
regulations, including carbon taxes. Philips manages the risk of rising commodity prices by several
means, including engaging in long-term contracts and keeping physical inventories. Philips closely
monitors price developments and takes pricing action where appropriate. Philips conducts various
scenario assessments and develops response strategies to events potentially impacting its supply
chain, such as geopolitical changes, regional conflicts, natural disasters, emerging markets volatility,
and pandemics. We run various global warming and weather scenarios on the geographical
footprint of our facilities, as well as our suppliers’ facilities, in line with the recommendations of the
Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures.
Initial investments have been made to improve our end-to-end visibility by digitizing our priority
information flows. With the implementation of integrated planning for Personal Health, we have
significantly enhanced our planning capabilities, such as advanced scenario planning and inventory
management. This enables us to improve customer and consumer experience, by anticipating – and
more quickly responding – to changing circumstances, with more control over our inventory.
Philips maintains robust data protection measures. Regular security audits, encryption protocols,
and continuous monitoring are used to address vulnerabilities in the data models that we use. We
work with industry leading suppliers, that have a proven track record on data security, including the
partners we leverage for AI models and/or data.
Philips may face challenges in simplifying the organization and the ways of
working
Having an integrated operating model promoting agility with clear accountability is a priority to
improve the execution of our strategy. If we do not effectively simplify the organization and our
ways of working, which include, but are not limited to, changes in structure and governance,
policies, processes, IT systems and data, we may be limited in our ability to fully realize our business
ambitions and to create with sustainable impact, meeting critical patient and customer needs,
delivering integral value propositions, growing the business, and/or maintaining business continuity.

| 278 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

Philips may need to undertake further changes and related restructuring in the future if the
operating model ultimately proves to be wholly or partly unsuccessful.
To simplify ways of working and improve performance, Philips continuously seeks to create a more
open, standardized, and cost-effective IT landscape. Approaches include outsourcing, off-shoring,
integration, and consolidation of IT systems. These changes may elevate third-party dependency
risks regarding the delivery of IT services, the availability of IT systems, and the functionality offered
by IT systems. Although Philips has sought to strengthen security measures and quality controls
related to these systems, these measures may prove to be insufficient or unsuccessful, which may
lead to a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition, and operating results.
Risk response: Philips’ processes are captured in our process framework, where we manage end-to-
end connections and define the critical process elements. The process framework provides the
foundation for all our management systems, including quality, environmental, and health and
safety, to ensure a compliant approach for processes, systems, data and competencies for a specific
management area.
Philips uses structured IT risk management methodologies to identify and address risks to our
critical business applications. Our ongoing IT Business Continuity Management activities include
real-time monitoring of availability and redundancies, as well as testing and upgrading of
applications. We regularly validate IT systems with our IT change management capabilities, we
make sure that changes of an IT system are executed in a controlled way and sufficiently tested to
minimize the impact of business disruptions in the case of failures of the system.
Philips is dependent on its people for leadership and specialized skills and may
be unable to attract and retain personnel
The attraction and retention of talented employees is critical to Philips’ success, and the loss of
employees with specialized skills could result in business interruptions, especially given the strong
competition for talent in key capability segments. Philips is competing with other companies for the
best talent and most sought-after skills, and there is no assurance of succeeding in attracting and
retaining the highly qualified employees needed in the future. Wage inflation is increasing the
competition for talent, as well as the cost of labor. This may negatively impact our ability to realize
our plan for creating value with sustainable impact, and if we are unable to offset the increased
costs of labor through higher selling prices and increased productivity, then rising costs could also
have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.
Risk response: Philips continuously assesses capability gaps for its key positions and has initiatives in
place to close any employee capability gaps. This includes monitoring and understanding the drivers
behind attrition, maintaining appropriate remuneration structures aimed at attracting and retaining
talent, and leveraging its purpose and contribution to societal and environmental challenges, as a
differentiating proposition for employees. Philips measures employee engagement through regular
surveys and benchmarks the results across the organization against high-performing external
norms. Philips performs deep-dives where necessary and drives improvement actions to address any
gaps.
Philips could be exposed to a significant enterprise cybersecurity breach
Philips relies on information technology to operate and manage its businesses, as well as store and
process confidential data (relating to patients, employees, customers, intellectual property, suppliers
and other partners). Philips products, solutions and services increasingly contain sophisticated and
complex information technology, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities may further
heighten the risks related to cybersecurity attacks and other disruptions to information systems. The
healthcare industry is subject to strict privacy, security and safety regulations. At the same time,
geopolitical conflicts and criminal activity continue to drive increases in the number, and
sophistication of, cyberattacks globally. Considering the general increase in cybercrime, our
customers and other stakeholders are becoming more demanding regarding the cybersecurity of
our products and services. As a global health technology company, Philips is inherently and
increasingly exposed to the risk of cyberattacks and potential impact of attacks on (our) suppliers.
Information systems may be damaged, disrupted (including the provision of services to customers),
or shut down due to cyberattacks. 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 our employees, customers, suppliers or other partners. These
risks are particularly significant with respect to the safety and medical records of patients.
Cyberattacks 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,
penalties, and other liabilities to regulators, customers and other partners. Philips has not
encountered any material breaches or other major cybersecurity incidents in 2024. While Philips
deals with the operational threat of cybercrime on a continuous basis and has so far been able to
prevent significant damage or significant monetary cost in taking corrective action, there can be no
assurance that future cyberattacks will not result in material or other consequences than as
described above, which may result in a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial
condition and operating results.
Risk response: Philips has an established Group Security function and implemented security
management processes and controls, and monitors risk trends on material security topics, such as
the risk of security breaches and ransomware attacks, in our information systems and our products
and services. The Philips Board of Management continually monitors the risks, as well as required
investments and progress made on the programs to reduce security risk. Risk workshops are held
across the company to calibrate cybersecurity risks. Philips is deploying security risk management
further into our Businesses and Functions to enhance the completeness and quality of overall risk
reporting, and to manage identified improvement actions.
Philips assesses against industry best practices and latest regulatory requirements (NIS2,CRA, FDA,
NMPA, ISO, etc.) and continuously improves key security controls (e.g., strengthening endpoints,
email security, and network security, and conducting global vulnerability scans, including mitigation
of vulnerabilities). The IT function is tasked with keeping IT systems up to date and supporting the
design and development of applications with security in mind. We run initiatives to enhance
security awareness for all Philips staff. For example, there are mandatory security trainings and
specific phishing trainings, multiple times a year, and we give additional focus to groups who need

| 279 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

it across the company. Philips continuously improves the Philips integrated operating model to
support adequate security management of products and services via Quality Management Systems.
Philips maintains relationships and cooperates with several government intelligence and law
enforcement agencies, other multinationals through the Multinational Information Sharing and
Analysis Centers, the CISO Circle of Trust foundation, Gartner Research Board for CISO’s as well as
taking a leading role with healthcare-specific Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) and
Cyber Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), to remain abreast of new threats.
Philips may face challenges to drive excellence and speed in bringing
innovations to market
It is important that Philips delivers its innovations in close collaboration with its customers on a
timely basis and at scale. The emergence of new low-cost competitors, particularly in Asia, the
emergence of healthcare solutions with low-carbon environmental footprint, the continuously and
rapidly changing field of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven solutions, and the increasing
importance of product security and cybersecurity, further underlines the importance of
improvements in the innovation process. Success in launching innovations depends on a number of
factors, including development of value propositions, architecture and platform creation, product
development, market acceptance, production, and delivery ramp-up. It is also dependent on
addressing potential quality issues or other defects in the early stages of introduction, and on
attracting and retaining skilled employees. Costs of developing new products and solutions may
partially be reflected on Philips’ balance sheet and may be subject to write-down or impairment
depending on the performance of such products or services. The significance and timing of such
write-downs or impairments are uncertain, as is the ultimate commercial success of new product
introductions. Accordingly, Philips cannot determine in advance the ultimate effect that innovations
will have on its financial condition and operating results. If Philips fails to create and commercialize
its innovations timely and at scale, it may lose market share and competitiveness, which could have
a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results.
Risk response: Philips has invested EUR 1.9 billion in R&D in 2024. Our Business Units are
accountable for meeting customer needs and as such innovation activities are close to the
customer. Philips is in continuous dialogue with customers to understand their needs and to
reaffirm that its strategy is translated into a balanced portfolio of products, software, services and
integrated solutions with a corresponding innovation pipeline close to its strategic core. Ways of
working are anchored in standardized processes and tools in all aspects of customer-needs-focused
innovation (from exploration to launch in the market and eventually customer success
management). Philips also conducts research and advances technologies by closely working with
leading strategic innovation partners. In addition, a number of initiatives are running to improve
innovation capabilities, within the businesses and across all regions, in areas such as software and
systems engineering, data and AI, product and cybersecurity and usability. These initiatives, taken
together, will improve innovation effectiveness, efficiency, quality, and regulatory compliance.
9.5.3 Financial and reporting 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’ financing and liquidity position may also impact its ability to implement or complete any
share-buyback program, or to distribute any dividends in accordance with its dividend policy or at
all. Any announced share-buyback program or dividend policy may also be amended, suspended or
terminated at any time, including at Philips’ discretion or as a result of applicable law, regulation or
regulatory guidance, and any such amendment, suspension or termination could negatively affect
the trading price of, increase trading price volatility of, or reduce the market liquidity of Philips
shares or other securities. Additionally, any share-buyback program or distribution of dividend
could diminish Philips’ cash or other reserves, which may impact its ability to finance future growth
and to pursue potential future strategic opportunities. Any share-buyback program or dividend
payment will depend on factors such as availability of financing, liquidity position, business outlook,
cash flow requirements and financial performance, the state of the market and the general
economic climate, and other factors, including tax and other regulatory considerations. Philips and
its subsidiaries may also be subject to limitations on the distribution of shareholders’ equity under
applicable law.
Philips operates in over 100 countries and its reported earnings and equity are therefore inevitably
exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies against the euro. Philips’ sales
and net investments in its foreign subsidiaries 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 EU, the US
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 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.

| 280 |

Contingent liabilities may have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. For an overview of current cases please refer to the
note Contingencies .
Risk response: At Philips, liquidity is monitored by the Group Treasury department, which tracks the
actual cash flow for the Group against forecasts of the liquidity requirements on both a short- and
longer-term basis. This includes regular reviews of liquidity versus credit rating constraints and
scenario analysis to assess the risk of potential downgrades in credit ratings. Philips manages the
available liquidity for the Group in several ways e.g., by spreading maturities of external debt over
time and by having appropriate standby credit facilities available.
Philips hedges the anticipated net exposure of developed-market foreign currencies resulting from
sales, purchases and net investments in its foreign subsidiaries in those currencies. For emerging
markets, Philips mainly relies on pricing adjustments for its products and services to counteract any
expected depreciation of emerging-market currencies. Philips performs ongoing evaluations of the
financial and non-financial condition of its customers and other counterparties and uses various
tools to manage credit risks.
Please also refer to notes Details of treasury and other financial risks , Debt and Liquidity position.
Philips is exposed to tax risks which could have a significant adverse financial
impact
Philips is exposed to tax risks that could result in double taxation, penalties and interest payments.
The source of the risks could originate from local tax laws and regulations as well as international
and EU regulatory frameworks. These tax risks include transfer pricing risks on internal cross-border
deliveries of goods and services, as well as tax risks relating to changes in the transfer pricing
model. Examples of initiatives that may result in changing tax rules include, but are not limited to,
the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework to address the allocation of income to user markets (Pillar One)
and a 15% minimum corporate income tax rate (Pillar Two). For Pillar One, it is too early to assess
the potential impact as all regulations have not been released yet.
The formal adoption of the Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 (the Pillar Two Directive) in December
2022 aims to achieve a coordinated implementation of Pillar Two in EU member states. The Dutch
government adopted the Minimum Tax Rate Act 2024 (MTR Act) in December 2023 and the Pillar
Two legislation has been applicable in local law with effect from 2024 in the Netherlands, the EU
and multiple other countries around the world. However, US President Trump’s January 2025
Executive Order to withdraw from the OECD Pillar agreements brings uncertainty and potential risk
of retaliatory tax measures.
As Philips maintains substance in the form of relevant assets and personnel in the countries in
which it operates which is shown in our Country Activity and Tax Report, Philips meets the
transitional safe harbor rules enacted by OECD in most countries and therefore exposure to
taxation Pillar Two is currently limited. However, this is increasing Philips’ tax compliance burden
significantly globally.
Furthermore, Philips is exposed to tax risks related to acquisition and divestment, permanent
establishments, 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 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. Accordingly, there
can be no absolute assurance that all deferred tax assets, such as (net) tax losses and credits carried
forward, will be realized.
Potential tariffs and other restrictions on imports proposed by US President Trump and his
administration, and retaliatory trade measures in response thereto, have the potential to impact
international trade relations and supply chains, with notable consequences in the countries where
we are present in. In addition, protectionism may increase general uncertainty on the development
of local regulations in response to those measures. These uncertainties expose Philips to financial
risk linked to increased trade defense measures resulting in additional tariffs and customs duties.
Significant changes in import duties levied on the import of products could materially impact
Philips.
Risk response: Philips has a globally organized and experienced Tax function, which is accountable
for the definition and execution of the tax strategy and for the tax position of Philips worldwide. It
advises management on the tax implications of intended decisions, performs appropriate tax
planning to support business goals, and safeguards compliance with all local and international tax
laws. Philips has a Tax Control Framework in place, which is designed to create awareness of and
ensures adherence to current tax policies.
Philips is working towards full compliance with Pillar Two whereby we will be leveraging our
existing digital tax systems to support an efficient and high-quality process to determine countries
in scope, calculate the additional tax liability (if any) and enable timely filing.
Potential risks are carefully monitored and dealt with by tax specialists from relevant areas (e.g.,
corporate income tax, transfer pricing, indirect taxes, wage tax and tax accounting). There are
extensive controls in place on processes and systems to address these risks, which are discussed in
more detail in our Country Activity and Tax Report and in the note Income taxes.
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. This 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 life cycle of health technology solution sales,
from order acceptance to accepted installation and servicing, together with the complexity of the

| 281 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

accounting rules recognizing revenue 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 the changes made to our operating model,
restructuring, and shifting processes to remote Global Business Services locations, may have an
adverse impact on the 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 have a material adverse effect on Philips’ business, financial condition,
operation results, reputation and brand.
Risk response: The Philips’ Business Control Framework (PBCF) sets the standard for risk
management and internal control over financial reporting. Key components of the PBCF are the
standards on management, testing of controls, and our Finance Code of Ethics. The code is
designed to deter wrongdoings; to promote honest and ethical conduct; to ensure full, fair,
accurate, timely, and understandable disclosures; and to encourage internal reporting of
(suspected) violations.
9.5.4 Compliance risks
Philips products and services may be exposed to the risk of non-compliance
with various regulations and standards involving quality, safety, and security
Our reputation and license to operate depend on our compliance with global regulations and
standards. Operating in a highly regulated health-technology industry, our products and services,
including parts and 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), and IGZ (the Netherlands). In the EU, the Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR)
became effective in May 2021 and imposes significant additional pre-market and post-market
requirements. The current EU MDR transitional provisions allow medical devices that were CE
marked under the previous directives (MDD and AIMDD) to continue being placed on the market or
put into service until 2027 or 2028 dependent upon the risk class of the equipment. Examples of
other product-related regulations are the EU’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and
Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Energy-using Products (EuP) regulations. We are subject to
various domestic and foreign environmental laws and regulations, which are continuing to develop.
Any failure to comply with such laws and regulations could jeopardize product quality, safety, and
security or expose us to lawsuits, administrative penalties, and civil remedies, all of which may have
a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition, and operating results.
Philips has observed an increase in safety and security requirements in new and upcoming
legislation dealing with market access of consumer goods, medical devices, information and
communication technology products, cloud services, and specific areas such as data protection,
cybersecurity, AI, and supply chain.
The legal and regulatory environment relating to artificial intelligence (AI) is uncertain and rapidly
evolving due to concerns about bias, discrimination, transparency, and security. Despite training
and risk management efforts, AI models, particularly generative AI models, we use may produce
output or take action that is incorrect, that reflects biases included in the data on which they are
trained, that results in the release of private, confidential, or proprietary information, or that is
otherwise harmful. The complexity of AI models may make it difficult to understand why they are
generating particular outputs, increasing the challenges associated with assessing the proper
operation of AI models, understanding and monitoring the capabilities of the AI models, reducing
erroneous output, eliminating bias, and complying with regulations that require documentation or
explanation of the basis on which decisions are made. Further, we may rely on AI models
developed by third parties, and, to that extent, would be dependent in part on the manner in
which those third parties develop and train their models, including risks arising from the inclusion
of any unauthorized material in the training data for their models and the effectiveness of the steps
these third parties have taken to limit the risks associated with the output of their models, matters
over which we may have limited visibility. Any of these risks could expose us to liability or adverse
legal or regulatory consequences, and harm our reputation and the public perception of our
business or the effectiveness of our security measures.
Both regulators and customers require us to demonstrate legal compliance and adequate security
management using national and international standards and associated certifications. Non-
compliance with conditions imposed by regulatory authorities could result in product recalls,
temporary product unavailability, stoppages at production facilities, remediation costs, fines,
disgorgement of profits, and/or claims for damages. Product safety incidents or user concerns could
jeopardize patient safety and/or trigger inspections by the FDA or other regulatory agencies, which,
depending on the results of such inspections, could trigger the impacts described above, as well as
other consequences. These issues could adversely impact Philips’ financial condition or operating
results through lost revenue and cost of any required remedial actions, penalties or claims for
damages. They could also negatively impact Philips’ reputation, brand, relationship with customers
and market share. Philips is exposed to the ongoing impact of the Respironics voluntary recall/field
action and related matters. Please refer to the section Patient safety, quality and regulatory and the
note Contingencies.
Risk response: Philips is committed to complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards
as a means of delivering safe, effective, and high-quality products, services, and solutions. Our
Regulatory Affairs team closely monitors developments across the regulatory landscape, with
specialist teams operating at central, business, and regional levels. The Regulatory Science and
Policy team is helping to shape and define industry standards. Additionally, this team is involved
with improving processes and offers programs to make employees aware of and enable them to
comply with requirements. In the event of compliance issues, we actively engage with the
regulatory authorities to resolve, mitigate, and work on remediation, as required. We are actively
working on remediation related to the June 2021 voluntary recall notification for certain sleep and
respiratory care products by our subsidiary, In the first half of 2024, Philips Respironics reached an
agreement with the US Department of Justice (DoJ), acting on behalf of the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), regarding the terms of a consent decree to resolve the identified issues in

relation to the Respironics Recall. The consent decree was entered by the court in April 2024. We
publish updates on the Respironics field action on our corporate website, www.philips.com.
For more information, refer to Patient safety. quality and regulatory and notes Provisions and
Contingencies.
Philips is exposed to the risks of non-compliance with business conduct rules
and regulations, including privacy and upcoming ESG disclosure and due
diligence requirements
In the execution of its strategy, Philips could be exposed to the risk of non-compliance with
business conduct rules and regulations and our General Business Principles, including, but not
limited to, patient safety, quality, anti-bribery,anti-money laundering, sanctions, healthcare
compliance, transparency, accountability and fairness in the development and use of artificial
intelligence (AI) tools, privacy and data protection, as well as existing and upcoming ESG disclosure
requirements and due diligence requirements. Examples of compliance risk areas include
commission – and incentive payments to third parties and remuneration payments to agents,
distributors, consultants and similar entities, as well as the acceptance of gifts, which may be
considered in some markets to be normal local business practice. The use of AI and ongoing
digitalization of Philips products and services, including its processing of personal data, increases
the importance of compliance, and the risk of non-compliance, with privacy, data protection and
similar laws. If we do not have sufficient rights to use the data on which AI relies or to the outputs
produced by AI applications, we may incur liability through the violation of certain laws, third-party
privacy or other rights or contracts to which we are a party. 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 and fines. There are an increasing
number of regulatory and legislative initiatives in the EU and other jurisdictions to address ESG
issues, which will (once implemented) require Philips to significantly increase the scope of
mandatory ESG disclosures. Examples of these initiatives are the EU Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the European
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the EU Deforestation Regulation. Regulatory
and legislative initiatives such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
and case-law developed by courts will introduce or extend a duty of care, requiring Philips to
identify and act on adverse environmental and human rights impacts across the organization and
operations, and potentially the entire value chain, beyond or different from our current efforts.
Failure to meet these requirements could trigger the additional risk of exposure to inquiries from
supervisory bodies and adversely affect Philips’ reputation or could adversely impact Philips’
financial condition or operating results through lost revenue and cost of any required remedial
actions, penalties or claims for damages.
In addition, we may also face potentially conflicting supervisory directives, for example, as certain
US regulatory and non-US authorities have prioritized ESG-related issues, while others have
signaled pursuing potentially conflicting priorities. These circumstances, among others, may result
in pressure from investors, unfavorable reputational impacts, including inaccurate perceptions or a
misrepresentation of our actual ESG-related practices and diversion of management’s attention and
resources. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to adhere to our public statements, comply fully
with developing interpretations of ESG-related laws and regulations (both “pro-ESG” and “anti-
ESG”), or meet evolving and varied stakeholder expectations and standards could adversely affect
Philips’ reputation or could adversely impact Philips’ financial condition or operating results through
lost revenue and cost of any required remedial actions, penalties or claims for damages.
For further details, please refer to the sub-section Legal proceedings within the note Co ntingencies.
Risk response: Over the years, we have extensively transformed the company and strengthened our
business processes. As part of that, we have invested substantially in adherence to our General
Business Principles (patient safety, quality and integrity always) through the deployment of
compliance and awareness programs, as well as the establishment of policies and processes that
reinforce adherence. With respect to privacy and data protection, Philips has established a privacy
compliance framework, which includes policies, standards and procedures (such as the Binding
Corporate Rules), with the aim of ensuring and demonstrating compliance with applicable data
protection laws and regulations. Over the years, the company has gained experience with ESG
disclosures, has been closely involved in the development of ESRS and has been working on
meeting disclosure requirements under the CSRD and ESRS since 2022.Please refer to chapters 4
(Environmental, Social and Governance) and 8 (Sustainability statement) of this Annual Report.

9.6 ESG reporting frameworks
Building on our extensive experience of environmental and social impact measurement and of
providing transparency on ESG, historically, Philips has taken an active role – in collaboration with,
in particular, the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation, World Economic Forum
and the EU – to help drive the evolution toward a standard ESG reporting framework.
World Economic Forum (WEF)
In 2020, the WEF’s International Business Council (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 ESG indicators and track their contributions towards the SDGs on
a consistent basis. Our disclosure in line with this WEF framework can be found in How we create
value.
IIRC
We have prepared this integrated Annual Report considering the principles of the International
Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Integrated Reporting framework, which is now maintained by
the IFRS Foundation. We have also created an overview of our value creation process (please refer
to How we create value).
United Nations Global Compact
We signed up to the United Nations Global Compact in March 2007 to advance 10 universal
principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. Our General
Business Principles, our policies on Human Rights, our Sustainability and Environmental Policies, and
our Supplier Sustainability Declaration are the cornerstones that enable us to live up to the
standards set by the Global Compact. This is closely monitored and reported, as illustrated
throughout this report, which is also our annual Communication on Progress (COP) submitted to
the UN Global Compact Office.
We use this report to communicate on our progress toward the relevant Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 3, SDG 12, and SDG 13. Please refer to Advocacy activities and
expenses for more details.

9.8 Appropriation of profits
Pursuant to article 34 of the articles of association of the Company, a dividend will first be declared
on preference shares out of net income. The remainder of the net income, after any retention by
way of reserve with the approval of the Supervisory Board, shall be available for distribution to
holders of common shares subject to shareholder approval after year-end. As of December 31,
2024, the issued share capital consists only of common shares. No preference shares have been
issued. Article 33 of the articles of association of the company gives the Board of Management 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.
9.9 Reconciliation 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 EBITDA
• adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders
• adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in
EUR) - diluted (Adjusted EPS)
• free cash flow
• net debt : group equity ratio
• 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 the 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 General information to the
Consolidated financial statements , 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 of
that entity for the corresponding prior year period are excluded. Similarly, when an entity is
acquired and consolidated, relevant sales of that entity for the current year period are excluded.
Comparable sales growth is presented for the Philips group, operating segments and geographic
area. 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.

EBITA and 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. This
includes the following: litigation costs and settlements in favor of (or against) the company, gains
(or losses) on sale of businesses or assets, remediation costs, impairment of assets, portfolio
realignment charges, environmental charges and other items which are individually above an
amount of EUR 20 million in a quarter, or an individual item which is above EUR 40 million across
multiple quarters. Refer to Restructuring, acquisition-related charges and other items in the Results
of operations section of Financial performance .
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 (which primarily relates
to brand names, customer relationships and technology) and impairment of goodwill 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 the 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.

| 287 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 presented 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 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. Philips 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. 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 adjustments to tax expense.
Shareholders refers to shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V.
Restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items are all defined in the EBITA and
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 adjustments to tax expense include the tax impact on adjustments to income from continuing
operations, as well as tax-only adjusting items (such as the derecognition of deferred tax assets).
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 General information to the Consolidated
financial statements, 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 following table.

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.

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; the related tax effects on such
income or loss; certain other items; the tax impact on adjusting items and certain tax-only adjusting
items determined by management to be material in nature and require separate disclosure, 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 adjusted to exclude assets and liabilities of businesses acquired in
the five year period prior to the relevant measurement date, and adjustments determined by
management to be necessary for comparability.
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 2020-2022 these other items
included legal provisions, pension settlements, results of divestments, remediation costs,
impairment of assets and portfolio realignment charges. Refer to Restructuring, acquisition-related
charges and other items Net income, Income from operations (EBIT) and Adjusted EBITA within the
Results of operations section of Financial performance. Organic ROIC is calculated after taxes.
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

| 292 |

Contents | 1 Our Management | 2 Strategy | 3 Financial performance | 4 Environmental, Social and Governance | 5 Supervisory Board | 6 Group financial statements | 7 Company financial statements | 8 Sustainability statement | 9 Further information

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 integrated operating model 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, the related tax effects on such income or
loss, the tax impact on adjusting items and certain tax-only adjusting 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.

9.10 Other 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.
Philips Group
Other Key Performance Indicators

| 2022 | 2023 | 2024
Lives improved, in billions | 1.81 | 1.88 | 1.96
Operational carbon footprint, in kilotonnes CO₂- equivalent | 438 | 418 | 474
Circular revenue | 18.1% | 20.0% | 24.4%
Waste to landfill | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0%
Closing the Loop | 35.3% | 20.5% | 19.5%
Comparable order intake | (3)% | (6)% | 1%

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. In the course of 2021 we changed the
definition of ‘lives improved’ (effective January 2021) to align more closely with our purpose. The
new definition includes only products or solutions that contribute to people’s health and well-
being, and no longer includes the contribution from our Green Products and Solutions that support
a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, as we discontinued our Domestic Appliances business, we have
removed the impact of this business from the Lives Improved results. The combined impact of these
changes resulted in an overall drop of 223 million lives improved in 2021. 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
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 CO 2 -equivalent. We calculate our Operational Carbon Footprint on a monthly 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 Climate change for more information on our Operational Carbon
Footprint.
Circular Revenues
Propositions that qualify for circular revenues must comply with the requirements for at least one of
the circular revenue categories. These include, among others, products with low weight or
containing a minimum threshold of recycled or bio-based plastics, as-a-service models, software
running on cloud, telehealth, upgrades, lifetime extensions, and refurbished equipment.
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 Resource use and circular economy for more information on Waste to
Landfill.
Closing the Loop
Closing the loop means we are embedding a policy to responsibly take back all professional
medical equipment sold directly to customers as part of a trade-in offer or as a service at customer
request. As part of the policy, we will ensure that equipment coming back to us is, where feasible,
made available for refurbishment and/or parts recovery, or locally recycled in a certified way to
ensure it does not end up in landfill. We monitor the impact of our policies by measuring the
amount of equipment that we collect from our customers. We report on this as ‘reclaimed
equipment’.
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 2024 for more information on the Philips Long-
Term Incentive (LTI) Plan.
Philips currently intends to propose a 2025 Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management
which would, among other things, provide for the vesting of performance shares subject to
performance over a period of 3 years and based on certain criteria, including a 20% weighting for
Sustainability Objectives, which would be defined under that plan as: Lives Improved, Carbon
Footprint, Circular Revenues and Employee Engagement Index. The 2025 Remuneration Policy is
subject to the approval of Philips shareholders at the 2025 AGM. See Remuneration of the Board of

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 segments, 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. In 2023,
comparable order book was tracked for Businesses that represented approximately 40% of 2023
sales.
Effective in the first quarter of 2024, Philips revised the order intake policy to reflect the full
contract value for software contracts that start generating revenue within an 18-month horizon,
instead of only the next 18-months-to-revenue horizon. This change has been implemented to
better align with the specific business model of our software businesses, simplify the order intake
process, and better align with peers. Prior-period comparable order intake percentages have been
restated accordingly. This revision did not resulted in any material changes to the order intake
percentages for the periods presented. Philips believes this policy eliminates major variances in
order intake growth and better reflects expected revenue in the short term from order intake
booked in the reporting period.
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.
Comparable order intake increased to 1% in 2024, compared to a 6% decline in 2023 .
Comparable order intake is presented when discussing Philips' group performance.
9.11 Forward-looking statements and other information
Forward-looking statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition,
results of operations and business of Philips and certain of the plans and objectives of Philips with
respect to these items. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements made about
our strategy, estimates of sales growth, future Adjusted EBITA*, future restructuring and
acquisition-related charges and other costs, future developments in Philips’ organic business and
the completion of acquisitions and divestments. Forward-looking statements can be identified
generally as those containing words such as “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “estimates”,
“expects”, “should”, “will”, “will likely result”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “projects”, “may” or
similar expressions. By their nature, these statements involve risk and uncertainty because they
relate to future events and circumstances and there are many factors that could cause actual results
and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.
These factors include but are not limited to: macro-economic and geopolitical changes including
protectionism measures such as announced and proposed tariffs and retaliatory trade measures in
response thereto; Philips’ ability to keep pace with the changing health technology environment;
Philips’ ability to gain leadership in health informatics and artificial intelligence in response to
developments in the health technology industry; integration of acquisitions and their delivery on
business plans and value creation expectations; ability to meet expectations with respect to ESG-
related matters; securing and maintaining Philips’ intellectual property rights, and unauthorized use
of third-party intellectual property rights; failure of products and services to meet quality or security
standards, adversely affecting patient safety and customer operations; the resilience of our supply
chain; challenges in simplifying our organization and our ways of working; attracting and retaining
personnel; breach of cybersecurity; challenges in driving operational excellence and speed in
bringing innovations to market; treasury and financing risks; tax risks; reliability of internal controls;
compliance with regulations and standards involving quality, product safety, (cyber) security and
artificial intelligence; and compliance with business conduct rules and regulations including privacy,
existing and upcoming ESG disclosure and due diligence requirements.
As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations
set forth in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future
results to differ from such forward-looking statements, reference is made to the information in Risk
factors.
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 2024 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.

Use of non-IFRS information
In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial position, operating results and cash flows,
management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures should
not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measure and should be used in
conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS financial measures do not
have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly
comparable IFRS measures is contained in Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.
Statutory financial statements and management report

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
While recognizing that Philips must abide by definitions of AI set by applicable regulations in
different regions in the world, Philips applies the AI definition from the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD): “An AI system is a machine-based system that, for explicit
or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as
predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual
environments. Different AI systems vary in their levels of autonomy and adaptiveness after
deployment.”
Biodiversity and Ecosystem services (BES)

In the Philips Operating Model, our three operating segments are made up of six Businesses, which
are in turn comprised of 17 Business Units. See also the entry under Segment.
CO 2 -equivalent
CO 2 -equivalent or carbon dioxide equivalent is a quantity that describes, for a given mixture and
amount of greenhouse gas, the amount of CO 2 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 consumption of natural resources
by optimizing their use, eliminating waste and pollution, and circulating products and materials for
as long as possible, while giving natural systems the opportunity to regenerate themselves.
Circular innovation

practices.
Circular Materials Management
Circular Materials Management is a KPI for promoting an increase in the proportion of waste
treated using waste management hierarchy levels that are circular: prevention, re-use, and
recycling. Circular Materials Management % is the proportion of materials managed circularly in
comparison to the total used materials baseline. The total used materials baseline is the total of
both circular and linear waste, excluding linear disposal of waste that is required by law. Circular
Materials Management includes recycling, re-use, prevention and other recovery (e.g. repurposing).
It excludes all linear disposal, which is classified as waste to energy, incineration and landfill.
Circular Revenues
Circular Revenues are revenues from Philips products, services and solutions that contribute to
circular practices. Circular revenues can be expressed as percentage % of the total Philips revenues.
Closing the Loop / reclaimed equipment
Closing the loop means we are embedding a policy to responsibly take back all professional
medical equipment sold directly to customers as part of a trade-in offer or as a service at customer
request. As part of the policy, we will ensure that equipment coming back to us is, where feasible,
made available for refurbishment and/or parts recovery, or locally recycled in a certified way to
ensure it does not end up in landfill. We monitor the impact of our policies by measuring the
amount of equipment that we collect from our customers. We report on this as ‘reclaimed
equipment’.

and outperforms in at least one of the focal areas of EcoDesign (Energy, Packaging, Substances and
Circularity) either compared to their predecessor or relevant benchmarks, or meeting a set
threshold, supported by a sustainability claim.

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).
