Q4 2011 Quarterly report

Philips reports fourth-quarter sales of EUR 6.7 billion;

EBITA of EUR 503 million

 

   

Comparable sales up 3%, led by 7% growth at Lighting

 

   

Growth geographies sales up 12% on a comparable basis

 

   

EBITA of 7.5% of sales

 

   

Net income from continuing operations at EUR 112 million

 

   

Free cash flow of EUR 961 million

 

   

Proposed dividend stable at EUR 0.75 per share

Q4 financials: Year-on-year revenue increased across all operating sectors. EBITA margin declined from 14.1% in Q4 2010 to 7.5% in Q4 2011.

Healthcare comparable sales were 3% higher year-on-year. Comparable equipment order intake grew 3% year-on-year. Equipment orders in growth geographies grew by 17%. Results were impacted by weakness in the European markets, postponed deliveries of existing orders, as well as increased investments in new product innovation and sales channels.

Consumer Lifestyle sales increased 1% on a comparable basis. At an aggregate level, the three growth businesses – Personal Care, Health & Wellness, and Domestic Appliances – achieved a high single-digit comparable sales increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The sector growth rate was impacted by a comparable sales decline at Lifestyle Entertainment. Reported EBITA margin for the quarter was 10%.

Lighting comparable sales increased 7% year-on-year, driven by double-digit sales growth at Lamps and Automotive. LED-based sales grew 37% compared to Q4 2010, now representing 18% of total Lighting sales. Sales in growth geographies increased by 21% in the quarter. Results were impacted by pricing, inventory reduction measures, and operational issues. As part of the turnaround plan, most brands for Consumer Luminaires products will be re-branded as Philips, which resulted in a value adjustment of commercial and brand-related assets leading to a charge of EUR 128 million.

Working capital reductions in the sectors amounted to more than EUR 500 million in the quarter, contributing to a free cash inflow of EUR 961 million in the fourth quarter.

The company completed 35% of its EUR 2 billion share buy-back program since the start of the program in July 2011. Taking into consideration the volatility of the financial markets, Philips has decided to extend the timing of the program until the end of Q2 2013.

Moving forward on Accelerate!, Philips’ change and performance improvement program

Philips is seeing the initial signs of the Accelerate! program positively impacting sales growth in difficult market circumstances. Importantly, the company has attracted key talent for critical positions across the company.

In addition, as part of the company’s efforts to improve its end-to-end processes, inventory as a percentage of sales decreased to 16.1% from 18.2% in Q3 2011, representing a comparable decrease of EUR 585 million, which is an improvement compared to the decrease in inventory seen in the same period last year.


The actions to deliver on the overhead cost reduction program are on track, and the first planned cost savings were realized in the quarter.

The annual incentive system for the executives has been changed to reflect line-of-sight accountability and is now fully aligned with the key performance indicators of the 2013 mid-term financial targets.

CEO quote:

“Our fourth quarter results were impacted by weak European sales, postponement in deliveries of existing orders in our Healthcare sector, and inventory correction actions and other operational issues in our Lighting business. These issues were partially offset by solid results in our Consumer Lifestyle growth businesses, which benefited from the early adoption of the Accelerate! change and performance improvement program. In addition, we delivered strong free cash flow as a result of our work to reduce working capital.

We are cautious about 2012 given the uncertainty in the global economy, and Europe in particular. In addition, we expect our 2012 results to be affected by the previously communicated restructuring charges and one-time investments aimed at improving our business performance trajectory, as part of the multi-year Accelerate! program. Excluding these additional charges, we expect the underlying operating margins and capital efficiency in the sectors to improve in the latter part of 2012.

While we are concerned about the economic environment, all of us at Philips are fully committed to improve our operational performance to achieve our mid-term (2013) financial targets.

Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips Electronics

Net income

 

   

Net income amounted to an after-tax loss of EUR 160 million, a decline of EUR 625 million compared to Q4 2010, largely attributable to lower earnings, and a higher loss from discontinued operations which includes an after-tax loss of EUR 272 million related to the Television business.

 

   

Financial expense was EUR 9 million higher year-on-year, mainly due to higher interest expense.

 

   

EBITA decreased by EUR 410 million to 7.5% of sales, due to lower earnings, mainly at Lighting, Healthcare and GM&S. Excluding EUR 79 million of restructuring and acquisition-related charges and pension plan changes, EBITA amounted to EUR 582 million, or 8.7% of sales.

Sales per sector

 

   

Group sales amounted to EUR 6,712 million, an increase of 3% from Q4 2010, both on a nominal and a comparable basis.

 

   

Healthcare sales improved by 3% compared to Q4 2010. Mid-single-digit sales growth at Customer Services, Home Healthcare Solutions and Patient Care & Clinical Informatics was tempered by flat sales at Imaging Systems.

 

   

Consumer Lifestyle sales improved by 1% compared to Q4 2010. Growth at Health & Wellness, Domestic Appliances and Personal Care was offset by a sales decline at Lifestyle Entertainment.

 

   

Lighting sales grew by 7% compared to Q4 2010, driven by double-digit sales growth at Lamps and Automotive. Professional Luminaires, Lighting Systems & Controls and Consumer Luminaires reported moderate sales growth, whereas Lumileds showed a decline in sales.

Sales per geographic cluster

 

   

Sales in the mature geographies were flat compared to Q4 2010. Growth at Healthcare was offset by declines at Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting.

 

   

Growth geographies delivered 12% sales growth compared to Q4 2010, across all sectors.

Earnings

 

   

EBITA amounted to EUR 503 million, a decrease of EUR 410 million compared to Q4 2010. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 100 million were recorded, EUR 62 million higher than in Q4 2010. Excluding these charges, EBITA amounted to EUR 603 million, or 9.0% of sales.

 

   

Healthcare EBITA was EUR 409 million, compared to EUR 522 million in Q4 2010. Lower earnings were a result of market weakness in Europe, delivery postponements, as well as continued investments in innovation and sales channels and one-time charges. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges were EUR 25 million higher than in Q4 2010.

 

   

Consumer Lifestyle EBITA amounted to EUR 184 million, a decrease of EUR 26 million compared to Q4 2010, mainly due to a decline in operating results at Lifestyle Entertainment, investments in innovation, advertising and promotion, as well as one-time charges. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges were EUR 15 million higher than in Q4 2010.

 

   

Lighting EBITA amounted to EUR 41 million, compared to EUR 198 million in Q4 2010. Lower earnings were mainly due to continued operational issues at Consumer Luminaires and Lumileds, macroeconomic factors impacting consumer lighting businesses, and one-time charges mainly related to slow-moving inventories. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges were EUR 2 million higher than in Q4 2010.

 

   

GM&S EBITA declined by EUR 114 million to a loss of EUR 131 million. Earnings were mainly impacted by a EUR 21 million favorable pension plan change. Q4 2010 earnings were favorably impacted by a EUR 83 million pension plan change.

 

   

EBIT amounted to EUR 262 million, a decrease of EUR 534 million compared to Q4 2010, mainly as a result of lower earnings at Healthcare and Lighting, as well as a value adjustment of commercial and brand-related assets at Lighting.

Financial income and expenses

 

   

Financial income and expenses amounted to a net expense of EUR 71 million. This represents an increase of EUR 9 million year-on-year, due to higher interest expenses.

Cash balance

 

   

The Group cash balance increased in the quarter to EUR 3,147 million, mainly due to a EUR 961 million free cash inflow and a EUR 181 million change in debt, partly offset by EUR 243 million cash outflow related to the acquisition of Povos Electric Appliance (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. (Povos) and EUR 208 million of treasury share transactions related to the announced share buy-back. In Q4 2010 the cash balance increased by EUR 1,448 million, ending at EUR 5,833 million, mainly as a result of EUR 1,152 million free cash inflow, EUR 164 million of changes in debt/other and EUR 184 million cash inflow from discontinued operations, partly offset by EUR 155 million outflow for acquisitions.

Cash flows from operating activities

 

   

Operating activities resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 1,207 million, compared to an inflow of EUR 1,366 million in Q4 2010. The year-on-year decrease was largely due to a EUR 391 million decline in earnings and a EUR 210 million decrease in other non-current assets/ liabilities, partly offset by EUR 191 million lower working capital requirements and EUR 151 million higher provisions.

Gross capital expenditure

 

   

Gross capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment were EUR 29 million higher than in Q4 2010. Increases at Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle were partly offset by lower expenditures at Lighting.

Inventories

 

   

Inventories as a percentage of sales came to 16.1%, 0.4 percentage points higher than in Q4 2010, representing a EUR 129 million increase year-on-year, mainly centered on Healthcare.

 

   

Inventory value at the end of Q4 2011 was EUR 3.6 billion, a decrease of EUR 449 million in the quarter, attributable to all sectors.

Net debt and group equity

 

   

At the end of Q4 2011, Philips had net debt of EUR 0.7 billion, compared to a net cash position of EUR 1.2 billion at the end of Q4 2010. During the quarter, the net debt position decreased by EUR 0.5 billion, mainly due to EUR 1.0 billion of free cash flow, partially offset by cash outflows for share buy-backs and acquisitions.

 

   

Group equity decreased by EUR 0.5 billion in the quarter to EUR 12.4 billion. The decrease was largely a result of treasury share transactions, lower net income due to discontinued operations and currency translation effects.

Business highlights

 

   

Philips signed a partnership agreement with Farrar Park Hospital of Singapore to provide its new hospital with workflow consulting, hospital equipment planning, project management, procurement services as well as exclusively supplying multi-modality Philips equipment. This is the largest multi-modality solution project for the company’s ASEAN region.

 

   

Resulting from Philips’ continuous investments in innovation, the company has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its whole-body PET/MR imaging system, the Ingenuity TF PET/MR, and its HeartNavigator interventional tool in the US. In addition, the company has introduced the next-generation mammography solution, Philips MicroDose, in the US.

 

   

Delivering on its commitment to provide tailor-made solutions, Philips signed a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with Baptist Health South Florida whereby Philips will provide a comprehensive Radiology and Cardiovascular Image Management System and a Cardiovascular Information System solution across their six hospitals and 19 outpatient centers.

 

   

Facilitating aging populations to live independently, Philips has expanded its Lifeline personal emergency response service to Japan. The intended approach is to sign up customers through referrals from healthcare providers and via sales at large stores, like retail giant Aeon Co.

 

   

Demonstrating the clinical benefits and significant cost- saving of remote patient monitoring, the UK Department of Health released the initial results of the largest randomized, controlled trial of telecare and telehealth in the world to date. Philips had provided its telehealth technology and expertise to the study.

Financial performance

 

   

Currency-comparable equipment order intake grew 3% year-on-year. Equipment order growth was seen at Imaging Systems, while Patient Care & Clinical Informatics orders were flat compared to Q4 2010. Equipment orders in total mature markets decreased by 3% compared to Q4 2010, with orders in Europe down 14%, while orders in North America grew at 4%. Equipment orders in growth geographies grew by 17%.

 

 

8        Q4 2011 Quarterly report


   

Comparable sales were 3% higher year-on-year, with mid-single-digit growth at Customer Services, Home Healthcare Solutions and Patient Care & Clinical Informatics tempered by flat sales growth at Imaging Systems. From a regional perspective, comparable sales in North America grew 6%. Sales in growth geographies grew 5%, while sales growth in mature geographies was 2%.

 

   

EBITA for Q4 2011 was EUR 409 million, or 15.0% of sales, compared to EUR 522 million, or 19.8% of sales, in Q4 2010. Market weakness in Europe led to postponement of deliveries and affected margin improvement plans for Imaging Systems. In addition, investments in innovation and sales channels to drive growth, as well as one-time charges, resulted in lower earnings at Imaging Systems, Patient Care & Clinical Informatics and Home Healthcare Solutions. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges, EBITA was EUR 430 million, or 15.8% of sales, compared to EUR 518 million, or 19.6% of sales, in Q4 2010.

 

   

Net operating capital decreased by EUR 490 million to EUR 8.4 billion, partly due to currency impact, partly due to impairment taken in Q2 2011.

 

   

Compared to Q4 2010 the number of employees increased by 1,702, largely driven by an increase in commercial and industrial employees.

Miscellaneous

 

   

Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q1 2012 are expected to total approximately EUR 15 million.

Revised to reflect a Television net costs re-allocation to GM&S

Business highlights

 

   

Philips completed the acquisition of Povos, a leading kitchen appliance company in China, significantly stepping up its position in the market and enhancing its local and global business creation capabilities.

 

   

Since the launch of the Sonicare AirFloss in key geographies, Philips Oral Healthcare has substantially increased its share of the electrical interdental cleaning market.

 

   

Philips continued the expansion of its Mother and Childcare business in China with the launch of its first range of bottles to be developed and manufactured by Philips AVENT in China for the Chinese market.

 

   

Philips introduced the Philips SENSEO Viva Café Eco, a sustainable coffee appliance that is made from 50% recycled plastic.

Financial performance

 

   

Sales increased 3% nominally year-on-year and 1% on a comparable basis. Strong double-digit comparable growth at Health & Wellness and mid-single-digit growth at Domestic Appliances and Personal Care were largely offset by a double-digit decline at Lifestyle Entertainment. License revenue was broadly in line with Q4 2010.

 

   

Regionally, double-digit growth in China, India and Latin America was tempered by a mid-single-digit decline in Europe.

 

   

EBITA includes EUR 6 million (EUR 9 million in Q4 2010) of net costs formerly reported as part of the Television business in Consumer Lifestyle.

 

   

EBITA was EUR 26 million lower compared to Q4 2010, which was attributable to a decline in operating results at Lifestyle Entertainment, investments in innovation, advertising and promotion, as well as one- time charges and higher restructuring and acquisition- related charges. Growth businesses in aggregate registered double-digit profitability and Lifestyle Entertainment mid-single-digit profitability. Excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 3 million in Q4 2010 and EUR 18 million in Q4 2011, EBITA declined from 11.9% to 10.9%.

 

 

10        Q4 2011 Quarterly report


    

   

Compared to Q4 2010, the number of employees increased by 4,196, largely due to the acquisitions of Preethi and Povos.

Philips continues to strengthen its consumer lighting leadership position in China and India. Investments are being made in its brand and further expansion of its branded retail presence to fuel growth and increase brand preference. In 2011, more than 600 branded stores and shops were opened.

 

   

The successful introduction of Philips StyliD Performance LED accent lighting for retail applications, one of Philips’ new innovations, contributed to the strong growth in professional LED lighting solutions in Europe.

 

   

Philips will sell 200,000 MASTER LED lamps to professional users in South Africa. The combined potential CO2 saving per year is estimated to be 60,000 tons, with energy cost savings of EUR 4 million per year. This equals EUR 20 savings per lamp.

 

   

Philips Strand Lighting is installing a major dimming and control system for a conference center in Doha, Qatar. The system controls the lighting in over 400 meeting and exhibition spaces.

Financial performance

 

   

Comparable sales were 7% higher year-on-year, mainly driven by double-digit sales growth at Lamps and Automotive, and mid-single-digit sales growth at Professional Luminaires, partly offset by a sales decrease at Lumileds. Sales growth of 21% was delivered in growth geographies.

 

   

LED-based sales grew 37% compared to Q4 2010, and now represent 18% of total Lighting sales.

 

   

EBITA, excluding restructuring and acquisition-related charges of EUR 36 million (Q4 2010: EUR 34 million), was EUR 77 million, or 3.7% of sales (Q4 2010: EUR 232 million, or 11.7% of sales).

 

 

12        Q4 2011 Quarterly report


        

   

The year-on-year EBITA decrease was mainly due to continued operational issues at Consumer Luminaires and Lumileds as well as macroeconomic factors which impacted pricing in our consumer lighting businesses. In addition, incidental charges, primarily relating to the disposal of slow-moving inventories, as well as adjustments in production volumes, further affected profitability.

 

   

EBIT decreased by EUR 286 million compared to Q4 2010 and was impacted by a EUR 128 million charge as a result of a value adjustment of commercial and brand-related assets at Consumer Luminaires.

 

   

Net operating capital decreased by EUR 541 million to EUR 5,020 million, mainly due to the Q2 2011 goodwil impairment and Q4 2011 value adjustment of intangible assets.

Miscellaneous

 

   

Restructuring and acquisition-related charges in Q1 2012 are expected to total approximately EUR 60 million.

 

   

On January 9, 2012, Philips completed the purchase of all outstanding shares of Indal Group, a Spanish professional luminaires company. With this acquisition, Philips will further strengthen its position and fuel growth in European outdoor lighting solutions.

For the year 2011, Philips received a record number of 99 key design awards from the world’s top design organizations, including 10 prestigious “GOOD DESIGN 2011” awards. This unprecedented annual result confirms our recognized leadership in design.

 

   

The jury of ‘China’s Most Successful Design Awards’ honored Philips with nine awards for successful designs in the Chinese market. Philips winners include the Fidelio Docking Speaker, our GreenVision LED-based road-lighting solution and a Gold award for the HD Camcorder CAM300.

 

   

Philips acquired a minority stake in IPXI Holdings, the world’s first financial exchange marketplace for intellectual property. IPXI is an innovative channel for royalty-bearing IP licensing to third parties, adding to the current revenue potential.

 

   

At the World Climate Summit in Durban, South Africa, Philips was awarded the 2011 Gigaton Award by the non-profit organization The Carbon War Room, for our EcoDesign product design process.

Financial performance

 

   

Sales decreased from EUR 87 million in Q4 2010 to EUR 67 million in Q4 2011, mainly due to the divestment of Assembléon.

 

   

EBITA showed a net cost of EUR 131 million, a cost increase of EUR 114 million year-on-year.

 

   

Corporate & Regional Costs were EUR 18 million higher than in Q4 2010, attributable to EUR 8 million in restructuring charges and investments related to the Accelerate! program.

 

   

In Pensions, EBITA was positively impacted by a EUR 21 million pension plan change gain in the current quarter, and a EUR 83 million pension plan change gain in Q4 2010.

 

   

Service Units and Other EBITA included EUR 17 million of additional restructuring charges compared to Q4 2010.

 

   

EBITA included EUR 25 million (EUR 19 million in Q4 2010) of net costs formerly reported as part of the Television business in Consumer Lifestyle.

 

   

Net operating capital decreased EUR 469 million, mainly due to pensions, financial hedging instruments held at corporate level, and lower tangible fixed assets.

 

 

14        Q4 2011 Quarterly report


        

   

Compared to Q4 2010, the number of employees increased by 545, primarily due to internal transfers from sectors to Group activities, partially offset by the divestment of Assembléon.

Miscellaneous

 

   

Restructuring charges in 2012 are expected to total approximately EUR 70 million.

 

   

IP royalty income to be reclassified from Consumer Lifestyle is expected to contribute approximately EUR 180 million to sales, with an EBITA impact of EUR 150 million, in 2012.

 

   

Stranded costs in 2012 are expected to total approximately EUR 40 million.

 

   

Accelerate! investments are expected to total approximately EUR 150 million in 2012.

 

   

Excluding the above items, the cost level of Group Management & Services is expected to be around EUR 230 million for the full year 2012.

In conjunction with the announcement of the Television long-term strategic partnership with TPV, the results of the Television business to be carved out are reported under Discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of income and Consolidated statements of cash flows. Consequently, Television sales are no longer reported in the Consumer Lifestyle and Group operational financials. Prior-period comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

 

   

Group net income includes an after-tax loss of EUR 272 million pertaining to the Television business, which includes EUR 272 million of costs related to disentanglement cost and value adjustments to assets.

 

   

The applicable net operating capital of the Television business which is to be transferred to the partnership is reported under Assets and Liabilities classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of the first quarter of 2011.

 

   

The EBITA of Consumer Lifestyle includes EUR 6 million of net costs formerly reported under the Television business, and the EBITA of Group Management & Services includes EUR 25 million of net costs formerly reported as part of the Television business.

 

   

Management has used estimates in the calculation of net income. Final results could differ from the amounts presented.

Forward-looking statements

 

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, in particular the sector sections “Miscellaneous”. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements made about our strategy, estimates of sales growth, future EBITA and future developments in our organic business. 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 domestic and global economic and business conditions, the successful implementation of our strategy and our ability to realize the benefits of this strategy, our ability to develop and market new products, changes in legislation, legal claims, changes in exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates, pension costs and actuarial assumptions, raw materials and employee costs, our ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions and to integrate those acquisitions into our business, our ability to successfully exit certain businesses or restructure our operations, the rate of technological changes, political, economic and other developments in countries where Philips operates, industry consolidation and competition. As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forward- looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future results to differ from such forward-looking statements, see the Risk management chapter included in our Annual Report 2010 and the “Risk and uncertainties” section in our semi-annual financial report for the six months ended July 3, 2011.

Third-party market share data

Statements regarding market share, including those regarding Philips’ competitive position, contained in this document are based on outside sources such as research institutes, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates. Where information is not yet available to Philips, those statements may also be based on estimates and projections prepared by outside sources or management. Rankings are based on sales unless otherwise stated.

Use of non-GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non- GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. A reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further information on non-GAAP measures can be found in our Annual Report 2010.

Use of fair-value measurements

In presenting the Philips Group’s financial position, fair values are used for the measurement of various items in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. These fair values are based on market prices, where available, and are obtained from sources that are deemed to be reliable. Readers are cautioned that these values are subject to changes over time and are only valid at the balance sheet date. When quoted prices or observable market data do not exist, we estimated the fair values using appropriate valuation models and unobservable inputs. They require management to make significant assumptions with respect to future developments, which are inherently uncertain and may therefore deviate from actual developments. Critical assumptions used are disclosed in our 2010 financial statements. Independent valuations may have been obtained to support management’s determination of fair-values.

All amounts in millions of euros unless otherwise stated; data included are unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise stated. This document comprises regulated information within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act ‘Wet op het Financieel Toezicht’.

Full-year highlights

 

The year 2011

 

   

Sales for the full year 2011 EUR 22.6 billion, or 4% comparable growth.

 

   

Comparable growth in growth geographies at 11%.

 

   

EBITA for the year ended at EUR 1,680 million, or 7.4% of sales, compared to EUR 2,562 million, or 11.5% of sales, in 2010.

 

   

Full-year 2011 EBIT was negative EUR 269 million, compared to EUR 2,080 million in 2010, largely due to impairment charges in Q2 2011 and lower operational earnings across all sectors.

 

   

Net income declined to negative EUR 1,291 million, compared to EUR 1,452 million in 2010, as a result of goodwill impairment charges, lower earnings, and a loss from discontinued operations mainly related to disentanglement costs for the Television business.

 

   

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 836 million, compared to EUR 2,121 million in 2010.

Performance of the Group

 

   

Sales for the full year 2011 amounted to EUR 22.6 billion, or 4% comparable growth. Comparable sales growth was driven by a 6% increase at Lighting and 5% growth at Healthcare, while Consumer Lifestyle sales were in line with the prior year. Comparable growth was attributable to an 11% increase in growth geographies, while mature geographies saw modest 1% growth.

 

   

EBITA for the year ended at EUR 1,680 million, or 7.4% of sales, compared to EUR 2,562 million in 2010, on lower earnings in all sectors, notably Lighting (EUR 424 million lower) and Consumer Lifestyle (EUR 246 million lower). The EBITA decline was mainly attributable to lower gross margin and higher investments in selling as well as research and development. Excluding restructuring charges, acquisition-related charges and pension plan changes of EUR 142 million, EBITA was EUR 1,822 million, or 8.1% of sales, compared to EUR 2,646 million, or 11.9% of sales, in 2010.

 

   

EBIT for the year 2011 was negative EUR 269 million, compared to EUR 2,080 million in the prior year, largely due to impairment charges in Q2 2011 and lower operational earnings across all sectors.

 

   

Financial income and expenses showed a net financial expense of EUR 240 million, EUR 119 million higher year-on-year, mainly due to 2010’s favorable impact of the EUR 154 million gain on the sale of the remaining stake in NXP versus 2011’s financial income from the sale of securities of EUR 51 million, mainly related to the sale of the remaining shares in TCL, and EUR 34 million of impairment charges, mainly related to shareholdings in TPV.

 

   

A tax charge of EUR 283 million was recorded despite losses incurred for the year, mainly due to impairment charges which are largely non-tax-deductible. The tax charge is EUR 216 million lower than in 2010 due to lower taxable earnings, partly offset by higher incidental tax expenses.

 

   

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 836 million, compared to EUR 2,121 million in 2010, due to lower cash earnings and higher working capital, mainly related to accounts payable, partly offset by lower inventories and an increase in provisions.

 

   

Net operating capital, at EUR 10,427 million, decreased by EUR 1,524 million compared to the 2010 level, largely as a result of lower intangible assets due to goodwill impairment in Q2 2011 and higher provisions.

Q4 2011 Quarterly report        31


Restatement impact of 2012 accounting changes on 2011 figures

As of 2012, we will implement the following three accounting policy changes.

Warranty costs, currently reported in Selling expenses on the income statement, will be reclassified to Cost of sales. The change follows the rationale that warranty costs are an integral part of the sale of goods and services. Amortization of brand name and customer relationship intangible assets currently reported in Cost of sales on the income statement will be reclassified to Selling expenses. This change follows the rationale that the use of brand name and customer relationship intangible assets supports the sales process. The third change relates to intellectual property (IP) policy. Currently, IP royalties on products sold by a sector are allocated to that sector, with the exception of Consumer Lifestyle; At Consumer Lifestyle IP royalties on products no longer sold by the sector are still allocated to it. As of 2012, all IP royalties on products no longer sold by a sector will be allocated to GM&S.

The table below reflects the impact of the accounting changes for the quarters and full year of 2011.

Fourth Quarter and Annual Results 2011

January 30, 2012

Philips reports fourth-quarter sales of EUR 6.7 billion; EBITA of EUR 503 million

 

   

Comparable sales up 3%, led by 7% growth at Lighting

 

   

Growth geographies sales up 12% on a comparable basis

 

   

EBITA of 7.5% of sales

 

   

Net income from continuing operations at EUR 112 million

 

   

Free cash flow of EUR 961 million

 

   

Proposed dividend stable at EUR 0.75 per share

Q4 financials: Year-on-year revenue increased across all operating sectors. EBITA margin declined from 14.1% in Q4 2010 to 7.5% in Q4 2011.

Healthcare comparable sales were 3% higher year-on-year. Comparable equipment order intake grew 3% year-on-year. Equipment orders in growth geographies grew by 17%. Results were impacted by weakness in the European markets, postponed deliveries of existing orders, as well as increased investments in new product innovation and sales channels.

Consumer Lifestyle sales increased 1% on a comparable basis. At an aggregate level, the three growth businesses – Personal Care, Health & Wellness, and Domestic Appliances – achieved a high single-digit comparable sales increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The sector growth rate was impacted by a comparable sales decline at Lifestyle Entertainment. Reported EBITA margin for the quarter was 10%.

Lighting comparable sales increased 7% year-on-year, driven by double-digit sales growth at Lamps and Automotive. LED-based sales grew 37% compared to Q4 2010, now representing 18% of total Lighting sales. Sales in growth geographies increased by 21% in the quarter. Results were impacted by pricing, inventory reduction measures, and operational issues. As part of the turnaround plan, most brands for Consumer Luminaires products will be re-branded as Philips, which resulted in a value adjustment of commercial and brand-related assets leading to a charge of EUR 128 million.

Working capital reductions in the sectors amounted to more than EUR 500 million in the quarter, contributing to a free cash inflow of EUR 961 million in the fourth quarter.

The company completed 35% of its EUR 2 billion share buy-back program since the start of the program in July 2011. Taking into consideration the volatility of the financial markets, Philips has decided to extend the timing of the program until the end of Q2 2013.

Moving forward on Accelerate!, Philips’ change and performance improvement program

Philips is seeing the initial signs of the Accelerate! program positively impacting sales growth in difficult market circumstances. Importantly, the company has attracted key talent for critical positions across the company.


In addition, as part of the company’s efforts to improve its end-to-end processes, inventory as a percentage of sales decreased to 16.1% from 18.2% in Q3 2011, representing a comparable decrease of EUR 585 million, which is an improvement compared to the decrease in inventory seen in the same period last year.

The actions to deliver on the overhead cost reduction program are on track, and the first planned cost savings were realized in the quarter.

The annual incentive system for the executives has been changed to reflect line-of-sight accountability and is now fully aligned with the key performance indicators of the 2013 mid-term financial targets.

CEO quote:

“Our fourth quarter results were impacted by weak European sales, postponement in deliveries of existing orders in our Healthcare sector, and inventory correction actions and other operational issues in our Lighting business. These issues were partially offset by solid results in our Consumer Lifestyle growth businesses, which benefited from the early adoption of the Accelerate! change and performance improvement program. In addition, we delivered strong free cash flow as a result of our work to reduce working capital.

We are cautious about 2012 given the uncertainty in the global economy, and Europe in particular. In addition, we expect our 2012 results to be affected by the previously communicated restructuring charges and one-time investments aimed at improving our business performance trajectory, as part of the multi-year Accelerate! program. Excluding these additional charges, we expect the underlying operating margins and capital efficiency in the sectors to improve in the latter part of 2012.

While we are concerned about the economic environment, all of us at Philips are fully committed to improve our operational performance to achieve our mid-term (2013) financial targets.”

Use of non-GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures.

Use of fair-value measurements

In presenting the Philips Group’s financial position, fair values are used for the measurement of various items in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. These fair values are based on market prices, where available, and are obtained from sources that are deemed to be reliable. Readers are cautioned that these values are subject to changes over time and are only valid at the balance sheet date. When quoted prices or observable market data do not exist, we estimated the fair values using appropriate valuation models and unobservable inputs. They require management to make significant assumptions with respect to future developments, which are inherently uncertain and may therefore deviate from actual developments. Critical assumptions used are disclosed in our 2010 financial statements. Independent valuations may have been obtained to support management’s determination of fair-values.
