Significant developments

In September 2014, Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting opportunities respectively. To this end, a stand-alone structure was established for Philips Lighting within the Philips Group, effective February 1, 2016. Then, on May 27, 2016, Philips Lighting was listed and started trading on Euronext in Amsterdam under the symbol ‘LIGHT’. Following the listing of Philips Lighting, Philips retained a 71.225% stake and continued to consolidate Philips Lighting through 2016. On February 8, 2017, Philips announced that it had successfully completed an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors and to Philips Lighting of 26.0 million shares in Philips Lighting, reducing Philips’ stake in Philips Lighting’s issued and outstanding share capital from 71.225% to approximately 55.180%. The transaction is in line with Philips’ stated objective to fully sell down its stake in Philips Lighting over the next several years.

Philips has signed an agreement to sell an 80.1% interest in the combined Lumileds and Automotive businesses to certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC. Philips will retain the remaining 19.9% interest. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions, including the relevant regulatory approvals.

Use of non-GAAP information

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the ‘Company’) believes that an understanding of sales performance is enhanced when the effects of currency movements and acquisitions and divestments (changes in consolidation) are excluded. Accordingly, in addition to presenting ‘nominal growth’, ‘comparable growth’ is provided.

Comparable sales exclude the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. As indicated in the note 1, Significant accounting policies, sales and income are translated from foreign currencies into the Company’s reporting currency, the euro, at the exchange rate on transaction dates during the respective years. As a result of significant currency movements during the years presented, the effects of translating foreign currency sales amounts into euros could have a material impact on our sales figures. Therefore, these impacts have been excluded in arriving at the comparable sales in euros. Currency effects have been calculated by translating previous years’ foreign currency sales amounts into euros at the following year’s exchange rates in comparison with the sales in euros as historically reported. The years under review were characterized by a number of acquisitions and divestments, as a result of which 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 growth, when a previously consolidated entity is sold or contributed to a venture that is not consolidated by the Company, relevant sales are excluded from impacted prior-year periods. Similarly, when an entity is acquired, relevant sales are excluded from impacted periods.

Philips discusses “adjusted income from operations” in the 2013 Form 20-F. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before amortization and impairment of intangible assets generated in acquisitions (excluding software and capitalized development expenses).

 

Annual Report 2013      72016      5


IntroductionForm20-F

The Company uses the term “adjusted income from operations” to evaluate the performance of the Philips Group and its sectors. Referencing “adjusted income from operations” is considered appropriate in light of the following:

Philips has announced that one of its strategic drivers is to increase profitability through re-allocation of its resources towards opportunities offering more consistent and higher returns. Moreover, Philips intends to redeploy capital through value-creating acquisitions. Since 2006, management has used the “adjusted income from operations” measurement internally to monitor performance of the businesses on a comparable basis. As of 2007, Philips has also set external performance targets based on this measurement as it will not be distorted by the unpredictable effects of future, unidentified acquisitions.

Non US investors are advised that such presentation is different from the terms used in Philips’ results announcements and 2013 Annual Report. Philips believes that an understanding of the Group’s financial condition is enhanced by the disclosure of net operating capital (NOC), as this figure is used by Philips’ management to evaluate the capital efficiency of the Philips Group and its operating sectors. NOC is defined as: total assets excluding assets from discontinued operationsless: (a) cash and cash equivalents, (b) deferred tax assets, (c) other (non)-current financial assets, (d) investments in associates, and after deduction of: (e) provisions, (f) accounts and notes payable, (g) accrued liabilities, (h) current/noncurrent liabilities.

Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. The net debt position as a percentage of the sum of group equity (shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests) and net debt is presented to express the financial strength of the Company. This measure is widely used by management and investment analysts and is therefore included in the disclosure.

Cash flows before financing activities, being the sum total of net cash from operating activities and net cash from investing activities, and free cash flow, being net cash from operating activities minus net capital expenditures, are presented separately to facilitate the reader’s understanding of the Company’s funding requirements.

Net capital expenditures comprise of purchase of intangible assets, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. This measure is widely used by management to calculate free cash flow.

Our Accelerate! initiatives helped us to achieve our mid-term 2013 targets. We are implementing thehave transformed Philips Business System across the company to improve customer focus and operational excellence, and drive our businesses systematically to global leadership performance. With our mission to deliver meaningfulinto a focused leader in health technology, delivering innovation to make the world healthierhelp people manage their health and more sustainable, we are well positioned to improve our growth rate.support care providers in delivering care effectively.

Frans van Houten, CEO Royal Philips

Dear stakeholder,Stakeholder,

I am very excited about the future of Philips as a focused leader in health technology, innovating new approaches to global health challenges. 2016 was a defining year for our company as we celebrated our 125th year as an innovation company and continued to advance our transformation. Our strategic focus is already delivering results.

We have successfully integrated our Volcano acquisition, achieving multiple quarters of double-digit growth, significant growth synergies with our image-guided therapy business, and cost synergies well beyond our original plans.

We separated the Lighting business, executing a complex project on time and below budget. In May we successfully listed Philips Lighting on the Amsterdam Euronext stock exchange, giving it the opportunity to build on its leadership position in the exciting lighting industry. In its first year as a stand-alone company, Philips Lighting delivered strong LED sales growth and a significant increase in profitability, demonstrating the continued progress that the largest lighting company in the industry is making. In February 2017 we further reduced our stake in Philips Lighting’s issued and outstanding share capital to approximately 55%, in line with our stated aim to fully sell down our stake in Philips Lighting over the next several years. Separately, in December we signed an agreement to sell the combined Lumileds and automotive lighting businesses, effectively completing our portfolio transformation.

I am pleased with the momentum in the overall business performance of our HealthTech portfolio as our health technology businesses posted 5% comparable sales growth1 and a significant increase in profitability. At the same time, we again stepped up our investments in quality, growth initiatives and innovation.

Our solutions approach – where we combine suites of systems, smart devices, software and services to help our customers improve patient outcomes and productivity – continues to gain traction, as evidenced by 11% solutions revenue growth in the year and our winning 15 new long-term strategic partnerships around the world with an aggregate value of approximately EUR 900 million.

In 2013 we passed a major milestone on2016, our Accelerate! transformation journey to unlock Philips’ full potential. Despite economic headwinds, especially in Europeproducts and services improved the United States, our Accelerate! initiatives helped us to achieve our mid-term 2013 targets. I am delighted with this result, as it underlines yet again that Philips is, above all, a caselives of self-help.

Accelerate! is helping us get closer to our customers, as illustrated by our landmark alliance with Georgia Regents Medical Center. And the transformation of our value chains is speeding up the introduction of locally relevant innovations in key markets2.1 billion people around the world. Innovations likeWe also launched our EPIQ ultrasound imaging system,new five-year ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program, supporting the aim of improving the lives of 3 billion people per year by 2025 and becoming carbon-neutral in our Smart Air Purifieroperations by 2020. And at the World Economic Forum in January 2017 the Chairman of our Supervisory Board and AirfryerI signed the Compact for Responsive and Responsible Leadership, an initiative to promote and align the long-term sustainability of corporations and the long-term goals of society, with an inclusive approach for all stakeholders.

Our overall 2016 performance gives me great confidence for the future as we build upon outstanding positions in the hospital and the home, appliances,expand our solutions capability and continue to deliver on the promise of digitization and smart, connected care.

Transforming the delivery of care

As consumers take a more active role in managing their health, we see professional healthcare and consumer health converging. This provides a tremendous opportunity for technology to play a role in data-enabled healthcare delivery, also supporting the shift from hospital care and acute reactive care to more proactive ambulatory and home care.

Through our energy-efficient CityTouch lightingmarket-leading propositions in personal health, we have natural touchpoints with consumers to promote healthy lifestyles, which are critical to good health. For example, our Dream Family is a comprehensive solution comprising sleep therapy devices, a comfortable mask, therapy management system.software and services to provide a good night’s sleep for people with obstructive sleep apnea. And our connected Sonicare toothbrushes with smart sensor technology help to improve oral healthcare through real-time feedback and post-brush analytics.

In the hospital we are leading in integrated diagnostic solutions across various disciplines including radiology, pathology and genomics, combining advanced imaging modalities and clinical decision support aided by artificial intelligence and practice management software.

We are also seeingleading in image-guided, minimally invasive therapies which, compared with open surgery, have the steady developmentbenefits reduced patient trauma, shorter recovery times and higher productivity. Our suites of ainterventional imaging technologies and navigation software, combined with interventional devices such as smart catheters, enable complex procedures in cardiology and oncology, for example. Our enterprise patient monitoring informatics solutions greatly reduce adverse events for patients and lighten the workload for nurses. And we are increasing our contribution to improve population health management with data analytics and targeted programs to improve health outcomes of patient cohorts with multipleco-morbidities and to reduce costs.

HealthSuite, our secure yet open healthcare Internet of Things cloud platform, connects patients and millions of devices with care providers, supported by powerful artificial intelligence. It ‘connects the dots’, enabling the flow of data needed to support first-time-right precision diagnoses and to deliver personalized treatments. At Philips, we believe this will improve outcomes, reduce costs and increase well-being.

Our initiative to build primary care capacity in developing markets through the Community Life Centers has passed its clinical and practical validation tests and will soon be ready for furtherroll-out, with the aim of cost-effectively improving access to care for millions of people.

Significant opportunities for value creation

Our EUR 17 billion health technology portfolio serves markets that offer attractive prospects in terms of growth and profitability.

We see a great opportunity tofurther improve our operational performance culture characterized by strong employee engagement, teamwork, and to deal forthrightly with the drive for operationalpossible impact of regulatory investigations. We believe we are making progress in improving our customer excellence programs and accountability for results.in strengthening margins through productivity. This is making us more agile, entrepreneuriala continuation of our Accelerate! program, where there is considerable scope for ‘self-help’ by applying the Philips Business System. We will drive higher productivity by lowering the cost of goods,non-manufacturing cost and innovative.the cost ofnon-quality, while at the same time embedding the digital transformation in everything we do. Digitization is a great enabler of cutting-edge value propositions, as well as driving higher levels of customer service, productivity and quality.

Financial performance

The economic environment in 2013 was challenging. Full-year sales declined by 1% in nominal terms, but increased by 3% on a comparable basis. Closing the year with strong 7% top-lineSecond, we see opportunities toboost growth in our existing core health technology businesses. We will do this by executing more effectively on customer partnerships, further transforming the fourth quarter,business model from ‘transactional’ to one of ‘long-term partnerships’, with shared business goals and recurring revenue streams. Another proven avenue of growth is via geographical adjacencies. This approach has worked well in our Personal Health businesses, where we delivered a compound annual growth rate for comparable sales over the period 2012-2013 of 4.5%, compared to our target of 4-6%. In regional terms, our growth geographies delivered 11% comparable sales growth in 2013 and now make up 36% of total sales.

Profitability improved significantly on the back of increased gross margins and productivity gains from our Accelerate! program. This resulted in a reported Adjusted IFO of 10.5%, within the target bandwidth of 10-12%. And our return on invested capital was 15.3%, above the targeted range of 12-14%.

Our Healthcare business increased operational earnings despite a virtually flat top line. With the issues surrounding health care reformhave taken products that have been successful in the USUnited States or Japan, for example, and budget constraintsbrought them into emerging economies, where there is a huge appetite for innovation and our brand. We anticipate market share gains in key markets,several of our businesses, including our Diagnostic Imaging business, which has largely overcome the incidents of the past.

Third, we are increasingly focusing on becoming the technology solutions partner of choice to major hospitals as a way to unlock new growth. Reflecting the success of its innovative propositions for personal health and well-being, Consumer Lifestyle posted strongdriving future growth and good earnings, while Lighting recorded higher sales, driven by a 38% increase in LED-based sales, and improved operational earnings.

In 2013 we also completed the execution of our EUR 2 billion share buy-back program, thereby improving the efficiency of our balance sheet, and announced a new EUR 1.5 billion program to be concluded over the next 2-3 years. By the end of 2013 we had completed 7% of this new program.

Other 2013 highlights

In 2013 we rose to # 40 on Interbrand’s annual ranking of the top-100 global brands,profit expansion with our brand value increasing by 8%shift to close to USD 10 billion. And in November we unveiled our new brand positioning and brand line – “innovation and you” – and our redesigned shield, which enjoyed an enthusiastic reception from customers, employees and other stakeholders.

In 2014 we celebrate 100 years of Philips Research, and over the past year we underlined our commitment to innovation bysolutions. We are investing EUR 1.7 billionstrongly in research and development. We filed over 1,500 patent applications in 2013. Other innovation highlights includeddevelopment for value-added, integrated solutions along the increasing adoption of our Digital Pathology solution and the development of the 200 lm/W TLED prototype to replace fluorescent tube lighting.

We also continued to deliver on our EcoVision sustainability commitments in 2013, improving the lives of 1.8 billion people around the globe and hitting our Green Product sales target of 50% of total sales two years ahead of schedule. In Buenos Aires we were awarded the order to renovatehealth continuum, most of the city’s 125,000 street lights with our CityTouch system, and in Dubai we were selected to transform over 260 Municipality buildings with intelligent LED solutions – both projects reducing energy consumption by some 50%. Our efforts to create a healthier and more sustainable world received recognitionnotably in the formareas of a rise to 23rd place in Interbrand’s ranking of the top 50 Best Global Green Brands, as well as a top rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project.

Of course, no year is entirely free of disappointment,precision diagnostics, cardiology, oncology, respiratory, and in 2013 we had to contend with the termination of the deal with Funai for our Audio, Video, Multimedia and Accessories business. We also faced compliance issues relating to our General Business Principles, which we are refining and strengthening.

Looking ahead – our Path to Value by 2016

Philips is a diversified technology company with a portfolio of some 40 businesses across various strategic domains. Over half of these businesses hold global leadership positions. Our portfolio is underpinned by strong assets: deep market insights; world-class innovation capabilities – technology, know-how and strong IP positions; our global footprint; our talented, engaged people; and the Philips brand.

The significant changes we have made to our portfolio in recent years have created a better growth platform with higher profit potential. And with the transformation of our business model architecture, we are increasingly becoming a technology solutions partner, with recurring revenue streams accounting for over 25% of sales.

Meeting the needs of a changing worldpopulation health.

In light of the mega-trends and challenges the world is facing, we are confident in our chosen strategic direction. With its focus on health and sustainability, our

We do need to navigate carefully the many potentialgeo-political risks that we see today. Given that we have a balanced footprint across the world, we believe this is manageable. We are also still exposed to certain risks from legacy issues, which we aim to manage with strong focus and care.

In conclusion

I would like to thank all our customers and stakeholders for their continued support. I would also like to pay tribute to our teams around the world for their outstanding work – and the progress they achieved – in the course of the year.

With a strong commitment to continuous improvement, we will deliver the meaningful innovation and quality our customers expect – and take the next steps on our journey to reach our goal of improving the lives of 3 billion people a year by 2025 helps to differentiate us from the competition, have a closer relationship with our customers, create IP and ultimately create more value.

We see the shift from a linear to a circular economy as a further opportunity to create value. In a linear economy, products are used briefly and then discarded as waste. In a circular economy, products are designed so they become part of a value network where re-use and refurbishment ensure continuous re-exploitation of resources.

We are redesigning our products in order to capture their residual value. And we are shifting from transactions to relationships via service and solution business models. A good example is the 10-year performance contract we were awarded to install, monitor and maintain 13,000 connected lighting fixtures and energy management controls for parking garages in Washington, DC. Because we are ensuring light levels and delivering the solutions as a service that is paid for by the energy savings, Washington gets brighter, safer LED lighting for its garages with none of the up-front cost, thereby removing one of the main barriers to the adoption of energy-efficient technology.2025!

Driving productivity improvement

Over the coming years we will continue to drive operational excellence and invest in innovation and sales development. We will also continue to focus on improving profitability, e.g. by further reducing overhead costs and driving value engineering through our Design for Excellence (DfX) program. Altogether we see significant potential to improve productivity over the next few years. We also have scope for value-creating bolt-on acquisitions, but will remain prudent with our capital allocation. Most of our growth opportunities are organic.

In 2014 we will roll out a new IT landscape to make Philips a truly real-time company, and we will further embed the Philips Business System (PBS). The PBS is the way we run our company to ensure business success is repeatable. This year will also see our new brand positioning being activated across the globe.

New growth initiatives

I am pleased to say that Philips has multiple new growth opportunities in the making. Within our Healthcare sector we have established the Healthcare Informatics Solutions & Services business group, which is focusing on a digital connected healthcare delivery platform, advanced informatics and big data analytics, and world-class integration and consulting services. At Consumer Lifestyle we have a new business initiative on Personal Health. And in our Innovation, Group & Services sector we have several highly promising start-ups, although it will be a few years before they are margin-accretive because of the necessary investments. Examples of these exciting new business areas include point-of-care diagnostics as well as horticultural and city farming technology.

Confident in the future

While remaining cautious about the short-term macro- economic outlook, we are committed to delivering on our 2016 financial performance targets. As a sign of our confidence in Philips’ future, we are proposing to the upcoming General Meeting of Shareholders to increase this year’s dividend to EUR 0.80 per common share, in cash or stock.

On behalf of my colleagues on the Executive Committee, I wish to thank all our employees for embracing Accelerate!, helping to build a great company fit for the demands of the 21st century, and delivering innovations that matter to people the world over.

Around the world, we are working together with our partners and customers to optimize every step in the value chain. This end-to-end approach is enabling us to innovate and execute faster and more efficiently.

Driving growth in oral healthcare

In Germany, we are building on our professional recommendation strategy and driving conversion of manual toothbrush users to electric tooth brushing through innovation leadership, portfolio expansion and distribution via new channels. This end-to-end approach resulted in a market share improvement of over 7%.

With only a third of German households owning a rechargeable toothbrush, there is a significant opportunity to expand our leadership in the sonic toothbrush segment. Taking an end-to-end perspective, we identified three key drivers for expansion: driving and communicating innovation leadership with superior propositions; creating a Philips Sonicare proposition at a price-point accessible for a broader audience; and making that proposition available to consumers in channels like drugstores and hypermarkets.

Philips Sonicare is already leading in the German market, with consumers responding to superior propositions like Flexcare Platinum and DiamondClean. In 2013, our leadership position was further supported through celebrity endorsement, which is driving awareness and conversion.

To present current manual toothbrush users with more alternatives from Philips Sonicare, driving growth in the mid-segment, we created a more accessibly priced proposition, the Philips Sonicare PowerUp. This product features similar brushing movements to manual and is gentle and effective. Research showed that over 90% of consumers surveyed preferred the Sonicare PowerUp over their manual toothbrush.

The majority of electric toothbrushes and replacement brush heads are sold in drugstores and hypermarkets. To leverage this opportunity, Sonicare PowerUp launched in DM and Budni drugstores, as well as Kaufland and Marktkauf hypermarkets, adding 2,000 stores to our distribution. We optimized our supply chain to work with these partners, designing bespoke packaging, significantly reducing time-to-market and improving transparency.

In less than a year our end-to-end strategy resulted in strong market share gains and double-digit growth in brush head sales. Consumer satisfaction increased, with patients advised by their dentist to switch to electric brushing conveniently able to purchase a Philips Sonicare and replacement brush heads at their local drugstore.

LED façade lighting faster to market

Through our end-to-end transformation program, we have identified and driven improvements along the entire LED value chain in China. This has resulted in a broad range of competitively priced façade lighting solutions for the mid-tier market segment in China, with a 40% reduction in time-to-market for new product introductions and a significant increase in on-time delivery.

In 2012, market intelligence showed that we were missing out on the LED façade lighting segment in China – a segment predicted to reach € 520 million by 2015, 70% of which will be taken by mid-range solutions. The problem was that in China we only offered top-range LED façade solutions. Clearly, something had to be done.

An end-to-end transformation program was immediately initiated, and a cross-functional team representing both the business and our market organization was assembled to address all opportunities along the value chain. The team took ownership of the common goal to achieve ambitious cost targets. It invested in market research and started with market sizing and customer segmentation, before developing imaginative strategies for product positioning, go-to-market and time-to-market. From the outset, everyone knew that the new product line had to be conceived, developed and fine-tuned extremely quickly.

The result was a new range of competitive LED façade lighting solutions specially designed for the mid-range market in China. And all in just under 28 weeks – a massive reduction compared to the 12 months it previously took to bring a new product line to market. Another benefit of this end-to-end collaboration is that achievement of the delivery time target of 25 days has increased from 43% to 66%, with a further rise to 95% expected by 2015.

In 2013 we continued to drive structural change through our multi-year transformation program Accelerate! We are seeing the steady emergence of a growth and performance culture that is making us more agile, entrepreneurial and innovative.

With our Accelerate! behaviors – Eager to win, Take ownership and Team up to excel – firmly embedded in the organization, we are rolling out a wide range of initiatives designed to harness the talents, viewpoints and experience of our employees and so build a winning culture. A culture anchored by our General Business Principles.

Transformation and change

To date, over 1,350 of our leading executives have taken part in our Accelerate! Leadership Program (ALP). This immersive program is designed to strengthen our leaders’ transformational capabilities so they can drive change in the organization. Complementing the ALP, the Accelerate! Team Performance (ATP) is a transformational session designed to reinforce behaviors that enhance team effectiveness. By year-end, more than 200 teams and 3,650 participants had been through the program, which also touched more than 2,000 employees via viral events.

The transformation drive is being embraced across the organization. In Healthcare, to name just one example, a group of over 160 employee advocates or “Culture Champions” is now in place, role-modeling and instilling the new culture from the middle of the organization outwards. They are providing invaluable insights and helping to drive changes in day-to-day activities and behaviors.

Capability building

ALP and ATP are also an integral part of our capability-building efforts. In 2013 we took the next steps in becoming a learning organization by completing the organizational design of Philips University. This involved a fundamental shift to align our learning activities with the organizational development priorities we have set to enable us to deliver on our business strategy. New flagship learning programs will be introduced early in 2014, and a move to one single learning management system is scheduled for the second half of the year.

Employee engagement

In October 2013 we launched our renewed bi-annual Employee Engagement Survey (EES), emphasizing the dimensions of employee behavior that affect performance, including change agility, alignment, and engagement. The overall engagement index shows a positive score of 75% – 3 percentage points above the chosen global external high-performance benchmark.

Annual Report 2013      27


Bringing our brand to life

Reflecting this culture of engagement, our employees also play a crucial role as ambassadors of our brand. In May 2013 our Employee Brand Jam focused on engaging employees around our new brand promise. They were asked to share, via a dedicated dashboard, their stories about how Philips delivers innovation to them. This campaign won a European Excellence Award in the Internal Communications category.

In the lead-up to brand launch day, 13 November, we invited the world to uncover our redesigned shield through a mosaic launched via social media. Over 14,000 individuals took part in the 48 hours ahead of the reveal. On the day itself, over 60 sites around the world hosted simultaneous events linked to a live feed of the unveiling at our head office in Amsterdam. In this way, a highly engaged workforce was brought together to celebrate a landmark event in the history of the company.

Diversity and inclusion

Having an inclusive culture where differences are honored, respected and encouraged and a diverse workforce that mirrors the markets we’re active in, enables us to deliver innovation that matters to our customers and consumers and thus to create value for Philips and its stakeholders. Our new Diversity & Inclusion Policy defines our global standards and the role all employees need to play to create a diverse and inclusive workplace.

In 2011, Philips embarked on a comprehensive program to significantly increase the efficiency of its overhead structure: those activities which take place mainly above the level of operational businesses and market organizations. Since then, real progress has been made – with more work to be done over the coming years.

The Accelerate! productivity program looked first to benchmarks – to what was currently industry best-in-class – and subsequently leveraged this insight to re-engineer the company’s overhead activities such as IT, Finance, Human Resources and Real Estate. The objective was to deliver improved service levels to internal customers in a faster, simpler, easier-to-experience way – at lower cost.

The focus of the program was on the operating model – how the function was set up to deliver its services. These ‘smarter functions’ looked to pool services into Centers of Expertise which then provide high-quality, 24/7 support to a wide range of businesses and geographies from a single hub. Equally impactful was the increased use of ‘output-based delivery’, swapping contract workers brought into Philips to support initiatives for clear output-based contracts with the 3rd-party suppliers. Last, but by no means least, was the reduction in managerial layers and subsequent increase in span of control of individual managers; this has led to less bureaucracy and faster decision making across the company.

Finance is a good example. Traditionally, finance professionals were spread widely across Philips, each supporting business management in everything from basic bookkeeping to analysis of upcoming Asian competition. As of 2013, we have re-engineered the operating model of our Finance activity, pooling knowledge into efficient, dedicated Centers of Expertise – one focused on fundamental bookkeeping and internal control, another on financial planning and analysis of business performance, yet another on expert company-wide advice on specific topics ranging from foreign exchange to pensions. This has led to a simpler, leaner, more effective operating model which, critically, is able to deliver faster, better services to its internal customers. Similar transformations in the other functions – and indeed more broadly in business management – have, collectively, allowed us to substantially improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our overhead structure and – in the process – report a gross cost reduction of over EUR 1 billion through the end of 2013.

The Philips Airfryer lets Dable Kwan prepare spring rolls and other delicious fried foods with much less oil. Who knew innovation could be so good for you, and taste so good too?

“My name is Dable and I live in Hong Kong. I’m a housewife and I love to cook. I really started to cook seriously about 10 years ago.

My husband loves fried food. Back then I would tell him, ‘No, there’s too much oil and grease, and it’s not good for your health.’ But since getting the Philips Airfryer, ah, what a happy man.”

3. Behind the scenes

How we innovate for you

Armed with deep insights into local customer needs, we then bring together our R&D and design expertise and our local business-creation capabilities to address these needs.

The locally relevant solutions we develop – often in collaboration with our customers – do not always involve ‘new technology’. Instead, they may mean a new application or a unique customer proposition brought about by an innovative partnership.

Discover overleaf how we applied our innovation and design capability to help women breastfeed for longer.

46      Annual Report 2013


LOGO

Almost 25% of mothers stop breastfeeding within the first three months because it becomes too painful. A further 40% stop because of a decreased milk supply. Discover how the Philips AVENT Natural range addresses these problems.

Using a breast pump to express milk can make it easier for mothers to continue breastfeeding. People researchers at Philips discovered that moms thought pumps were too cold and mechanical, and forced them to lean forward to make sure the milk flows down into the bottle.

Around the same time, a clinical study by Philips confirmed that comfort is physiologically essential to helping mothers produce lots of milk. Pain, stress or discomfort hampers the release of oxytocin, the hormone responsible for triggering milk production.

Philips AVENT Comfort breast pump

Therefore we took comfort as the starting point of the design and reshaped the pump to make it possible for moms to sit back in a more relaxing position to express milk. Using ultrasound and MRI scanners, we studied how babies actually suckle. To mimic that, we added five oval petals that gently massage the areas around the nipple to stimulate more milk. We changed the texture of the cushioned silicone funnel that cups the breast, giving it a silky feel that is warm and gentle against the skin.

Philips AVENT Natural bottle

We used the same insights to create a new baby bottle, designed to tackle two things: teat acceptance (also known as ‘latch on’) and colic. When babies suckle at the breast, they cause the nipple to elongate in a rhythmic way, so we created a teat to stretch in the same way. To create a more natural breast-like shape, the designers made the teat much wider at the base. And to prevent babies swallowing too much air when they are feeding, we added an ‘anti-colic’ twin-valve system that allows air to vent into the bottle rather than the baby’s stomach.

Both the bottle and the breast pump have received several awards for outstanding design.

Lives improved

We take a two-dimensional approach –social and ecological – to improving people’s lives. Products and solutions that directly support the curative (care) or preventive (well-being) side of people’s health, determine the contribution to the social dimension.

The contribution to the ecological dimension is determined by means of our Green product portfolio, such as our energy-efficient lighting. For additional information, please visitwww.philips.com/sustainability.

In 2013 we continued to make good progressNet cash provided by operating activities decreased from EUR 1.3 billion in a challenging economic environment, particularly in the United States and Western Europe. We recorded 3% comparable sales growth (1% nominal decline), with a strong contribution from growth geographies. The profitability improved substantially, with all sectors delivering solid earnings. Net income for the year amounted2014 to EUR 1,172 million,1.1 billion, mainly drivendue to CRT litigation claims, higher outflows related to pensionde-risking settlements, partly offset by strong operational performance, including significant gross margin improvement and productivity gains coming from the Accelerate! program.higher earnings.

 

Sales amounted to EUR 23.3 billion, a 1% nominal decline for the year. Excluding unfavorable currency effects, comparable sales were 3% above 2012, driven by all three operating sectors. Healthcare sales grew 1%, mainly driven by Customer Services. Lighting sales were 3% above 2012, driven by Lumileds and Automotive, partly tempered by a sales decline at Consumer Luminaires. Sales at Consumer Lifestyle were 10% above 2012, with double-digit growth at Domestic Appliances and high-single-digit growth at Personal Care and Health & Wellness.

Our growth geographies achieved 11% comparable growth, while mature geographies declined by 1%, as a result of the overall macroeconomic developments, including the continued weakness of the Western European markets and the continued economic uncertainty in North America. In 2013, growth geographies accounted for 36% of total sales, compared to 34% in 2012.

IFO amounted to EUR 1,991 million, or 8.5% of sales, compared to EUR 648 million, or 2.8% of sales, in 2012. IFO improvement was seen at all sectors, but was mainly driven by Lighting and Healthcare.

In 2013 we generated EUR 1,138 million of cash flow from operating activities, which was EUR 944 million lower than in 2012. The decrease is mainly a result of the payment of the European Commission fine in Q1 2013, increased working capital requirements and the payout of restructuring provisions in 2013. Our cash flows before financing activities were EUR 1,016 million lower than in 2012, due to a decrease in cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from divestments, partly offset by lower outflows related to acquisitions of new businesses.

In 2013 we completed the execution of our EUR 2 billion share buy-back program, thereby improving the efficiency of our balance sheet, and announced a new EUR 1.5 billion program to be concluded over the next 2-3 years. By the end of the year we had also completed 7%74% of thisthe EUR 1.5 billion- sharebuy-back program.

The year 2012

Despite strong economic headwinds, we continued on our steady path of improvement driven by our multi-year change and performance program, Accelerate!. We recorded 6% comparable sales growth (12% nominal growth), with a strong contribution from growth geographies. Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle delivered solid earnings,

while Lighting gained momentum in its turnaround. Net income for the year amounted to a net loss of EUR 30 million, and was impacted by substantial restructuring charges as well as the European Commission fine related to alleged violation of competition rules in the Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) industry.

Sales amounted to EUR 23.5 billion, a 12% nominal increase for the year. Excluding favorable currency effects and portfolio changes, comparable sales were 6% above 2011, driven by all three operating sectors. Healthcare sales grew 6%, with solid growth in all businesses. Lighting sales were 4% above 2011, with strong growth coming from Light Sources & Electronics, mainly fueled by market demand for LED, and Automotive, partly tempered by a sales decline at Lumileds. Sales at Consumer Lifestyle were 9% above 2011, with double-digit growth at Domestic Appliances and Health & Wellness and mid-single-digit growth at Personal Care.

Our growth geographies achieved 13% comparable growth, while mature geographies grew by a modest 2%, as a result of the overall macroeconomic developments and the continued weakness of the Western European markets, particularly Southern Europe. In 2012, growth geographies accounted for 34% of total sales, compared to 32% in 2011.

IFO amounted to EUR 648 million, or 2.8% of sales, compared to a loss of EUR 479 million, or negative 2.3% of sales, in 2011. Excluding impairment charges of EUR 1,355 million in 2011, significant IFO improvement was seen at Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare, while Lighting was impacted by charges related to restructuring activities.

In 2012, we completed the divestment of our Television business to TP Vision and extended our partnership in Senseo with Sara Lee. Additionally, we completed the acquisition of Indal, strengthening our position in outdoor lighting.

In 2012 we generated EUR 2,082 million of cash flow from operating activities, which was EUR 1,322 million higher than in 2011. The increase was largely a result of lower working capital requirements and higher cash earnings. Our cash flows before financing activities were EUR 1,672 million above the level of 2011, due to higher cash flow from operating activities, higher proceeds from divestments, and lower outflows related to acquisitions of new businesses.

The decrease was largely due to a change in the geographical mix of actual profits andone-off tax benefits in 2016 mainly relating to recognition of deferred tax assets.

For 2017, we expect our effective tax rate to be around 30%. However, the actual rate will depend on the geographical mix of profits.

The 2.6 percentage points increase in 2013 was mainly related to a higher weighted average statutory income tax rate in 2013 due to a change in the country mix of profit and loss, which was partly offset by lower valuation allowances.

For 2014, the effective tax rate excluding incidental non-taxable items is expected to be between 30% and 32%.

The year 2012

Income taxes amounted to EUR 185 million, compared to EUR 251 million in 2011. The year-on-year decrease was largely attributable to lower incidental tax expenses.

The year 20132016

Throughout 2013In the average market prices for energy and raw materials, which represent approximately 15% of our direct and indirect spend, remained fairly stable compared to the average for 2012. The potential impact of improving economic conditions in mature economies in the second halffirst quarter of the year, global economic growth was offsetrunning at its weakest pace in three years. In June, an additional threat to future growth came in the shape of Brexit, high credit growth, debt exposures in emerging markets and volatile financial markets.

Commodity prices continued to weaken at the start of 2016. Oil and metal prices fell to extreme lows on weaker global demand, especially due to the slowdown in manufacturing activity in China, but also because of increases in inventories and supply following the past (mining) investments.

Market prices for steel, however, showed increases during 2016, driven by a simultaneous slow-downsteeper cost curve, a consolidated market as well as the more aggressive anti-dumping approach.

For commodities, the election of Donald Trump as US President spurred price gains as investors bet that demand in growth geographies, especially in China. Steelfor materials would pick up with a focus on infrastructure and further protectionism. However, actual consumption has not yet significantly increased for most materials and the influence of speculation is hard to determine.

Oil, copper, steel and other metals prices were stable atall surged by over 20% in the last few months of the year to the highest price levels sincemid-2015, partly driven by additional Chinese fiscal stimulus in the form of public construction sector support and the acceleration of public-private partnership infrastructure projects.

Risks

Continued reliance on credit as a historically low level, while oilgrowth driver is heightening the risk of an eventual disruptive adjustment in China. In addition, a shift toward protectionist policies is a distinct threat. Geopolitical

The currency risk remains and might get stronger in 2017 as the US dollar continued to appreciate against the euro and Chinese renminbi in 2016.

Rare earth prices continued to slide,Concerning shortages, the low price levels of raw materials and this has contributed to realizing higher savings levels in 2013. Contingency measures are in place to delay and mitigate the impact of a possible new hike in the price of rare earths in the future. The major successes ofEco-Halogen lamps and similar products in the marketenergy during 2016 have fueled demand for Xenon, which is used as a filler gas in these lamps. Since global production has not increased, this has led to tight supplyreduced investment in future supply. This creates the risk of new headwind once real consumption picks up again and a price peak. Therefore a major effort was made resulting in replacement of Xenon by an alternative gas for a large part of the portfolio by the end of 2013. The availability of helium remains a constant concern, though acute shortages have not occured. Technical measures have been taken to almost completely prevent loss of helium in our operations.

Thanks to a rigid procurement focus on organizational set-up and performance drivers, the overall procurement performance improved substantially in 2013 in accordance with the plan to save an additional EUR 1 billion. This is supporting the competitiveness of our business propositions. All parts of the new Procurement organization have contributed to this improvement.supply-demand situation reverses.

Growth within the marketUS, Europe and Japan was supported by declining oil and material prices, monetary policies and, in the case of energy and raw materials, which together represent 15% of our purchasing spend, showed diverse trendsEurope, the euro currency depreciation.

At Philips, we strive to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. Our goal is to improve the lives of 3 billion people a year by 2025. To guide our efforts and measure our progress, we take atwo-dimensional approach – social and ecological – to improving people’s lives. Products and solutionsSolutions from our portfolio that directly support the curative (care) or preventive (well-being) side of people’s health determine the contribution to the social dimension. This is also our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (“to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”). As healthy ecosystems are also needed for people to live a healthy life, the contribution to the ecological dimension is determined by means of our steadily growing Green ProductSolutions portfolio, such as our energy-efficient lighting.energy- efficient products in our Personal Health businesses. This is our contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 12 (“to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”).

Through Philips products and solutions that directly support the curative or preventive side of people’s health, we improved the lives of 630908 million people in 2013,2016, driven by our Healthcare sector.Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses. Additionally, our well-being products that help people live a healthy life improved the lives of 324 million people, and our Green ProductsSolutions that contribute to a healthy ecosystem improved the lives of 290 million and 1.491.74 billion people respectively.people. After the elimination of double counts - people touched multiple times - we arrived at 1.82.1 billion lives. This is an increase of around 100 million compared to our total baseline of 1.7 billion people a year, established2015, driven by all segments, mainly in 2012.

Clarity of strategic direction provided by senior leadership

Adopting good ideas from all over the company

Making good use of skills and abilities

Providing opportunities for employees to grow and develop

This policy prescribes:

Championing workforce diversity. We embrace unique individuals regardless of race, color, age, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, language, religion, political or other opinion, disability, national or social origin or birth.

Valuing diverse perspectives. We leverage the diverse thinking, skills, experience and working styles of everyone in our company.

Progress has been made in ensuring a better representation of women in leadership roles: women now constitute 15% of Philips’ executive population, an increase of 1 percentage point year-on-year. Also, we have been appointing more local leaders: at year-end 2013, over 75% of senior leaders in countries were of local origin.

Going forward, driving D&I remains a priority for Philips. While female representation has also increased at professional and management level, Philips has made this an attention point for the coming year as well, recognizing that this is necessary in order to strengthen the leadership pipeline and create a strong basis for sustainable change. Therefore, a commitment has been made to increase the share of women in corporate grades 70 – 90 (refer to professionals and management category in the graphs) by 5 percentage points (per

Other programs

Philips has played a pioneering role in the Netherlands with its national Vocational Qualification Program (CV) and the Philips Employment Scheme (WGP). The CV project has been running since 2004 and targets employees who know their trade well, but do not have a diploma to prove it. CV provides a solution by awarding these people a recognized qualification. To date, some 1,800 participants have obtained a qualification that will help them in their future careers.

Via WGP, we offer vulnerable groups of external jobseekers a work experience placement, usually combined with some kind of training. The program started in 1983 and over 12,500 people have participated since. After participating in the program, about 70% find a job. In 2013, Philips employed some 150 persons via the WGP program, including young people with autism who are training to become a test engineer. Of the previous group of 10 autistic persons, eight found a job, one proceeded with a course of study, and the other is applying for jobs.

All sectors showed a decrease in the Lost Workday Injury rate. At Lighting, a dedicated action program, “Safety First”, was launched five years ago to drive down injury levels. In 2012, various regional Health & Safety improvement programs and peer audit programs were started and further expanded in 2013. Since 2010, Lighting achieved a strong decline in reported accident rates mainly attributed to active management involvement, launch of a new policy on machine safety improvements and further strengthening of management systems at major sites implementing the “Safety First” program. Lighting initiated a work stream to address Health & Safety management in Turnkey projects, headed by the Lighting market leaders. In efforts to further reduce injury rates, Lighting will also roll-out a Behavior Based Safety program in 2014.

The Health & Safety performance of Healthcare improved significantly in 2013. The Lost Workday Cases (LWC) decreased from 80 to 70 while the LWC Rate decreased from 0.22 to 0.19 compared to 2012 figures.

Healthcare targeted Health & Safety performance improvement actions within their Field Service Organization (FSO) to include organizational ownership and program management among other items. The FSO overall impact on the Sector Health & Safety performance decreased in 2013 compared to 2012. FSO Lost Workday Cases decreased from 46% to 38% of the Sector total while the number of Lost Workdays decreased from 49% to 38% of the Sector total compared to 2012. While the total number of Lost Workday Cases decreased in 2013, the number of Lost Workdays increased primarily due to isolated incidents with extended healing times.

Consumer Lifestyle continued to have low injury case levels. A new governance structure was launched in the Consumer Lifestyle organization to embed Health & Safety performance review and ownership in the businesses. The acquisitions Preethi and Povos started reporting their performance in 2013.

4.2.72.2.7 General Business Principles

The Philips General Business Principles (GBP) govern Philips’ business decisions and actions throughout the world, applying equally to corporate actions and the behavior of individual employees. They incorporate the fundamental principles withinfor all Philips business around the world. They set the minimum standard for doing business.

Thebusiness conduct for both individual employees and for the company and our subsidiaries. Our GBP also stand as a reference for the business conduct we expect from our business partners and suppliers. Translations of the text are available in most of the local32 languages, and are an integral part of the labor contracts in virtually all countries where Philips has business activities. Responsibility for compliance with the principles rests primarily with the management of each business. Every country organization and each main production site has a compliance officer. Confirmation of compliance withallowing almost every employee to read the GBP is an integral part of the annual Statementin their native language. Detailed underlying policies, manuals, training and tools are in place to give employees practical guidance on Business Controls that hashow to be issued by the management of each business unit. The GBP incorporate a whistleblower policy, standardized complaint reporting and a formal escalation procedure. The whistleblower policy is intended to supplement more specific local grievance or complaint procedures. If employees wish to raise an issue for which there is a more specific procedure or grievance channel available, they are free to use this, e.g. use the applicable human resources procedures for employment issues. However, in case of concerns of suspected violations of applicable laws or regulations employees are urged to always report these to either their GBP Compliance Officer or the Philips Ethics Line.

The global implementation of the Philips Ethics hotline seeks to ensure that alleged violations are registered and dealt with consistently within one company-wide system.

Business Integrity Survey

In June 2013, a business integrity survey has been rolled outAs part of our unyielding effort to all employees in eight most relevant languages to get their inputraise GBP awareness and create engagement throughout the organization on the effectivenessdifferent forms acting with integrity can take, each year a GBP communications and training plan is deployed. In 2016 a number of new initiatives were undertaken through various channels such as our spotlight article series, Quick Reference Cards forat-a-glance guidance on how to handle a number of common GBP concerns as well as returning programs such ase-Learnings which were deployed early in the year. Many of these initiatives contributed to building momentum towards our annual Dialogue Week in the third quarter, which serves as the highlight of our GBP program. program for the year. During 2016’s Dialogue Week hundreds of Philips teams held open and frank discussions on what Acting with Integrity means to them, and posted pictures of their sessions on the Philips social platform using the hashtag, #integritymatters.

Executives are requested tosign-off on the General Business Principles to confirm a numberrenewed commitment to awareness of aspects that are recognized to influenceand compliance with the respective codes each year.

The GBP Review Committee is responsible business conduct. The insights that were derived from this survey were used to further enhancefor the effectivenesseffective deployment of the currentGBP and for generally promoting a culture of compliance activitiesand ethics within Philips. The GBP Review Committee is a body chaired by the Chief Legal Officer, and its members include the Chief HR Officer, the Chief Market Leader and the Chief Financial Officer. They are supported in the implementation of their initiatives by a Committee Secretariat, and a network of GBP Compliance Officers who are appointed in all countries and at all major sites where Philips has operations.

Related roles and responsibilities are laid down in the Charter of the GBP Review Committee. In 2016, in response to external regulatory developments in business ethics and compliance, a revised charter was deployed by the GBP Review Committee. This newly updated charter impacted the composition of the GBP Review Committee, the roles and responsibilities of its members as well as the composition, roles and responsibilities of the GBP Compliance function. To strengthen monitoring and oversight of GBP compliance road map.within Philips, a mandatory annual GBP self-assessment questionnaire was introduced. The GBP Review Committee Secretariat receives an overview of the results of this self-assessment and can take action when deemed necessary. We believe this has created a more robust network equipped with the requisite skills and support to monitor and enhance compliance in the increasingly regulated environments in which Philips operates.

The overall conclusionGBP are supported by established mechanisms that could be drawn fromensure standardized reporting and escalation of concerns. These mechanisms are based on the survey isGBP Reporting Policy that the Philips culture provides a sound basisurges employees to build upon, and that leaders are well positioned to manage integrity even more actively so as to support an environment in which employees feel comfortable to discuss or report potential issues and dilemmas.

Ongoing training

Theany concerns they may have regarding business integrity survey provided the kickoff of a global GBP communications campaign, culminating in a global event called the ‘GBP dialogue week’ held in October 2013, in which managers were invited to hold sessions with their teams to discuss GBPconduct in relation to their function or business. In their feedback, participating managers indicated they experienced this week as very meaningful and worth repeating.

The mandatory web-based GBP training, which is designed to reinforce awareness of the need for compliance with the GBP is availableeither through a GBP Compliance Officer or through the Philips Ethics Line. The Philips Ethics Line enables employees and also third parties to report a concern either by telephone or online via a web intake form in 23 languages. Every quarter,a variety of different languages 24/7 all new hires get an invitation to take this trainingyear round. All concerns raised are registered consistently in their local language.

Strategic PartnerFor more information on our stakeholder engagement activities in 2016, please refer tosub-section 12.3.7, Stakeholder Engagement, of this report.

2.2.9 Supplier sustainability

Royal Philips has a direct business relationship with approximately 8,500 product and component suppliers and 22,000 service providers. In many cases the sustainability issues deeper in our supply chain require us to intervene beyond tier 1 of the World Economic Forumchain.

Supplier sustainability strategy

In 2013,Managing our large and complex supply chain in a socially and environmentally responsible way requires a structured and innovative approach while being transparent and engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders. Insights gained through the stakeholder engagement process are used as an input to develop our supplier sustainability strategy. We then translate this strategy into five dedicated programs:

1. Supplier sustainability compliance

Combination of contractual sustainability commitment of Philips entered intosuppliers defined in two core Supplier Sustainability policy documents (Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD) and Regulated Substances List (RSL)) and additional transparency requirements to provide information and evidence on topics mentioned in SSD and RSL.

2. Supplier sustainability performance

This program aims to bring about structural, sustainable improvement in our supply chain while focusing on health and safety, remuneration and benefits, and workforce turnover. This approach has been designed to replace the Philips audit program and was piloted in 2016 on a strategic partnership withsample of 93 supplier sites in China.

3. Responsible sourcing

This program aims to manage sustainability risks related to minerals mined in conflict-affected and high-risk regions. Philips addresses the World Economic Forum. The Forum’s mission of ‘Improving the statecomplexities of the world’ closely matches our own and the Forum engages business, political, academic and other leaders of societyminerals supply chains through continuous due diligence process combined with multi-stakeholder initiatives to shape global, regional and industry agendas in an informal, action focused way.

During the first year of our partnership, Philips contributed significantly to the Forum’s agenda, with active participation in three industry groups, numerous speaking roles at the various meetings and a co-chairmanship of Frans van Houten at the World Economic Forum on Africa summit in Cape Town. Furthermore, Deborah DiSanzo, CEO Healthcare, has accepted to chair a thought leadership initiative that will explore Health Systems Leapfrogging in Emerging Markets.

The Philips Center for Health and Well-being

Over the last 5 years, Philips has run The Philips Center for Health and Well-being as a knowledge-sharing forum that raised the level of dialogue on key societal questions that matter most to citizens and communities. In 2013, the Aging Well think tank, one of the initiatives of the Center, actively participated in a number of events, such as the Aging in America conference of the American Society on Aging, the International Congress on Telehealth and Telecare of the King’s Fund in the UK, and a well-attended expert roundtable to explore next-generation technologies for aging well. As of 2014, the activities of the Center will be merged with our other stakeholder engagement platforms and initiatives across the businesses and markets.

Partnering to improve healthcare in Africa

In November 2013, Philips and AMREF Flying Doctors announced that they will work together in a partnership to structurally improve healthcare infrastructure and provision in Africa. Both parties will leverage their respective strengths to help tackle inadequatelyresponsible sourcing.

equipped medical facilities and inadequately trained staff as a way to better address the growing incidence of non-communicable diseases across the continent. AMREF and Philips will also work with local stakeholders to develop and implement large-scale projects to make healthcare more accessible to the local population.4. Circular procurement

We sought similar partnerships in our ‘Fabric of Africa’ campaign launched in 2013. The campaign’s primary intentPhilips’ ambition is to enter into public/private partnerships with localincrease its circular business proposition and international stakeholdersit has set a 2020 target to improve healthcare deliveryachieve 15% circular revenues. This program identifies how procurement can contribute to our ambition to be a provider of circular solutions and services.

5. Environmental footprint China

This program serves to reduce the environmental footprint of our suppliers’ sites in the areasChina. Furthermore, we want to focus on increasing supply chain transparency in terms of non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health, healthcare infrastructure, technology and clinical training. Philips has developed innovative, low-resource setting health technologies and e-Health solutions to address the challenges in the African market. More information on this campaign can be found at www.philips.com/FabricofAfrica.

Working on global issues

In 2013, Philips participated in a number of international conferences and events focused on sustainable development and climate change. These included the Climate Week in New York City (organized by The Climate Group), co-launching the ‘Cities & Aging’ policy snapshot with the Global Cities Indicator Facility in Toronto, as well as the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Warsaw, Poland. Most notably we were invited as the only private sector company to join the UN Secretary General’s Chief Executives Board, with Ban Ki Moon and part of his UN leadership team. Here we highlighted that energy efficient and intelligent LED solutions will result in a 30% reduction of electricity consumption by the global lighting market in 2020 compared to 2006. This equates to a reduction of 515 megaton CO2 emissions, while also significantly reducing energy bills by around EUR 100 billion in 2020.

Innovation event

In November, Philips Research organized an Innovation Event at the High Tech Campus with external guest speakers, to share best practices, share Philips corporate ambition for more sustainable product solutions; initiate new innovative concepts to radically improve access to healthcare; new products that decrease food waste and help meet world food security goals;environmental footprint and to identify new approaches todrive responsible use of resources through our supply chain. An example is the circular economy, focusing on concepts such as “design for reuse” and improved recycling efficiency. We believe these global challenges can only be addressed through Open Innovation and regional partnerships with all stakeholders involved. We collaborate with academics, universities through direct partnerships, Open Innovation initiatives and government driven initiatives, like FP7 and Horizon 2020, two European Union research programs.

4.2.9 Social Investment Programs

In 2013, we continued to develop and localize our global social investment program, SimplyHealthy@Schools. In Brazil, 230 employees fromcollaboration of Philips offices and factories registered to volunteer inFal@ndo em Bem-Estar, the local adaptation of SimplyHealthy@Schools. The program aims to empower kids from 8 to 12 to change their habits, health and environment and educates teenagers about safe sex and sexual transferable diseases prevention, a critical national issue.

Philips Brazil also rolled-out a new initiative in 2013 with an important Healthcare partner, Fleury. Based on the same topics and questions explored in ourFal@ndo em Bem-Estar,the project consists of a giant interactive board game, developed to be used in schools throughout the entire country by Fleury and Philips employees.

In North America, the Philips Cares program provides ways for employees to work together to improve people’s lives by creating healthy, sustainable communities that contribute to the success and well- being of future generations. This can take many forms: from helping a child to excel in math, to providing safety and energy efficient home improvements to the disadvantaged, to raising awareness about the importance of cardiac health. In 2013 alone, more than 5,000 employees participated in volunteer opportunities that suited their needs, schedules, and passions in partnerships with organizations such as American heart Association, March of Dimes, and Rebuilding Together.

At the end of 2012 we signed a three year partnership agreement with the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) to support their WorldCoaches program by installing more than 100 solar lighting ‘Light Centers’ in rural communities throughout Africa and South America. Working together with local communities and the KNVB, the Light Centers will provide safe and functional space for sports and other community activities after dark.

Throughout 2014, Philips will roll out a new three pillar social investment strategy, comprising of a disaster relief program, a local community investment program

and a signature social innovation program. The main focus will be on access to healthcare, access to light and healthy futures.

4.2.10 Supplier sustainability

Many of our products are being created and manufactured in close cooperation with a wide rangeChinese NGO, the Institute of business partners, both in the electronics industry and other industries. Philips needs suppliers to share our commitment to sustainability, and not just in the development and manufacturing of products but also in the way they conduct their business. We require suppliers to provide a safe working environment for their workers, to treat workers with respect, and to work in an environmentally sound way. Our programs are designed to engage and support our suppliers on a shared journey towards continuous improvement in supply chain sustainability.

As a leading company in sustainability, Philips will act as a catalyst and support our suppliers in their pursuit of continuous improvement of social and environmental performance. We recognize that this is a huge challenge requiring an industry-wide effort in collaboration with other societal stakeholders. Therefore, we remain active, together with peers in the industry, in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and encourage our strategic suppliers to join the EICC too. We will also continue to seek active cooperation and dialogue with other societal stakeholders including governments and civil society organizations, either directly or through institutions like the EICC, the multi- stakeholder programs of the Sustainable Trade Initiative IDH, and the OECD.Public Environment (IPE).

Supplier Sustainability Involvement Program

The Philips Supplier Sustainability Involvement Program is our overarching program to help improve the sustainability performance of our suppliers. We create commitment from our suppliers by requiring them to comply with our Regulated Substances List and the Philips Supplier Sustainability Declaration, which we include in all purchasing contracts. The Declaration is based on the EICC code of conduct and we added requirements on Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining. The topics covered in the Declaration are listed below. We monitor supplier compliance with the Declaration through a system of regular audits.

LOGO

2013 supplier audits in risk countries

In 2013, Philips conducted 200 full-scope audits, including four joint audits conducted on behalf of Philips and other EICC member companies. Additionally, 59 audits of potential suppliers were performed. Potential suppliers are audited as part of the supplier approval process, and they need to close any zero-tolerance issues before they can start delivering to Philips. In our new audit approach, we place more focus on capacity building programs to realize structural improvements leading to better audit results.

As in previous years, the majority of the audits in 2013 were done in China. The total number of full-scope audits carried out since we started the program in 2005 is 2,162. This number includes repeated audits (131 in 2013), since we execute a full-scope audit at our risk suppliers every three years. The audit program covers 90% of our spend with risk suppliers.

Audit findings

We believe it is important to be transparent about the issues we observe during the audits. Therefore we have published a detailed list of identified major non-compliances in our annual report since 2010.

To track improvements Philips measures the ‘compliance rate’ for the identified risk suppliers, being the percentage of risk suppliers that was audited within the last 3 years, and do not have any – or have resolved all major non-compliance. During 2013 we achieved a compliance rate of 77% (2012: 75%).

Please refer tosub-section 13.2.2, 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of this report for the detailed findings of 2013.

Supplier development and capacity building

Based on many years of experience with the audit program, we know that a combination of audits, capacity building, consequence management and structural attention from management is crucial to realize structural and lasting changes at supplier production sites. In 2013 we continued our focus on capacity building initiatives which are offered to help suppliers improve their practices. Our supplier sustainability experts in China, India and Brazil organized trainings, visited suppliers for on-site consultancy, conducted pre-audit checks and helped suppliers to train their own employees on topics like occupational health and safety, emergency preparedness and chemicals management.

We also teamed up with peers in the industry and civil innovative multi-stakeholder initiative sponsored by the Sustainable Trade Initiative (Initiatief Duurzame Handel). The goal is to improve working conditions for more than 500,000 employees in the electronics sector. Two years ago the program was kicked-off in China’s Pearl River Delta, and now expanded to also cover supplier factories in the Yangtze River Delta area. A total of 15 Philips suppliers are now participating in the program.

4.2.11 Conflict minerals: issues further down the chain

In line with Philips’ commitment to supply chain sustainability, we feel obliged to implement measures in our chain to ensure that our products are not directly or indirectly funding human atrocities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We are concerned about the situation in eastern DRC where proceeds from the extractives sector are used to finance rebel conflicts in the region. Philips is committed to address this issue through the means and influencing mechanisms available to us, even though Philips does not directly source minerals from the DRC and mines are typically seven or more tiers removed from our direct suppliers.

Although this region has a rich supply of minerals, its economy has collapsed due to decades of ongoing conflict. In an effort to prevent minerals from financing war, many companies worldwide have shied away from purchasing minerals from the DRC, creating a de facto embargo in a region where mining is often the only source of income for local communities. We decided that this was not the right approach and instead of avoiding the DRC, we took the more difficult road, supporting conflict-free sourcing from the DRC. To promote cooperation and economic growth in the region outside the control of the rebels, we launched the Conflict-Free Tin Initiative. This initiative introduces a tightly controlled conflict-free supply chain of tin from a mine in the DRC all the way down to an end-product. Philips is one of the industry partners brought together by the Dutch government that initiated the program in 2012. To underline our commitment to conflict-free sourcing, we joined a delegation in February 2013 to visit the mine and engage with different local stakeholders in the DRC. At the end of 2013 we reached

80      Annual Report 2013


4 Group performance 4.2.11 - 4.3.1

an important milestone when the first end-user products containing this conflict-free tin were made in our Philips Lighting factory.

During 2013 we continued our work with 349 priority suppliers to raise awareness and conduct supply chain investigations to determine the origin of the metals in our products. This resulted in the identification of 191 smelters in our supply chain involved to process these metals. We publish this smelter list on our website, creating transparency at deeper levels in our supply chain of those actors that we believe hold the key towards effectively addressing the concerns around conflict minerals. Philips encourages all smelters in our supply chain to join the Conflict Free Smelter program and demonstrate their conflict-free status via independent third party assessments. 29% of the smelters identified by our suppliers have now successfully passed the Conflict Free Smelter assessment. As sufficient conflict-free smelters for all four metals (Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold) will become available, Philips plans to direct its supply chain towards these smelters.

We believe that industry collaboration and stakeholder dialogue are important to create impact at these deeper levels of our supply chain. Therefore Philips continued its active contribution to the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative, a joint effort of the EICC and GeSI and others to positively influence the social and environmental conditions in the metals extractives supply chain. To assist in developing a due diligence standard for conflict minerals, we continued our participation in the multi-stakeholder OECD-hosted program for the implementation of the “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas”. We also continued our engagement with relevant stakeholders including the European Parliament, other industry organizations and local as well as international NGOs in Europe and the U.S. to see how we can resolve the issue.

In line with the US Dodd-Frank Act, we started preparations for publishing a Philips Conflict Minerals Report, including an audit of the Conflict Minerals Report as required by the Act.

Energy efficiency of products

Energy efficiency is a keyleast one Green Focal Area for our Green Products. About 97% of the energy consumed during the use phase of our products is attributable to Lighting products, according to our analysis. The remaining 3% is split over Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare. Therefore, we focus on the energy efficiency of our Lighting products in the calculation. The annual energy consumption per product category is calculated by multiplying the power consumption of a product by the average annual operating hours and the annual pieces sold and then dividing the light output (lumens) by the energy consumed (watts). The average energy efficiencyArea. In 2016, 3.3% of our total productnew patent filings were flagged as relating to green patent family.

In 2013 LED sales continued to advance well, but demand for conventional lighting remained fairly stable due to the challenging economic environment. Since the number of traditional lamps sold is significantly higher than LEDs, the energy efficiency improvement of the total Lighting portfolio in 2013 was limited. As the traditional incandescent lamp will be banned in more countries, we expect the energy efficiency improvement to advance in the coming years. Our target for 2015 isWhile a 50% improvement compared to the 2009 baseline. In this target setting, assumptions were made on the speed of the regulatory developments in this area, which stayed behind expectations. Therefore, in 2015 the target of 50% improvement will probably not yet be achieved. Further details on this parameter and the methodologyproduct can be foundclassified as green because it incorporates an environmentally friendly technology, such technology cannot always be protected in the document ‘Energy efficiencya patent because of Philips products’ at www.philips.com/sustainability.a lack of patentability over thestate-of-the-art technology.

New Green Products from each sector include the following examples.

Healthcare

During 2013, Healthcare expanded the Green Product portfolio with 13 new products to improve patient outcomes, provide better value, and expand access to care, while reducing environmental impact. Philips’ new EPIQ platform for example, delivers high-quality ultrasound imaging to every setting where echocardiography is used and at the same time reduces both energy use and product weight by almost 30% compared to the predecessor model. The energy consumption for each of Philips MRI models is lower than the market average according to COCIR. Other examples are new X-ray systems such as DuraDiagnost systems and a new Certeray X-ray generator, with significantly lower energy use and product weight versus predecessor models. Green Products from Patient Care & Clinical Informatics include MX400/450 and MX 500 patient monitors, for which product weight is significantly reduced (up to 27%) as well as energy consumption (up to 23%) when compared to their predecessor models.

Consumer Lifestyle

Consumer Lifestyle is focusing on the avoidance of substances of concern, the application of recycled materials and the energy efficiency of the products. In 2013, in China, Consumer Lifestyle introduced energy efficient living room Air purifiers. The products have an energy efficient motor, and score the highest grade (A) on the China energy label for Air purifiers.

Lighting

An example of a new Green Product introduced in 2013 is the Pacific LED Green Parking system covered parking solution. It ensures safety, whilst offering outstanding energy savings, low maintenance and long lifetimes. Through a mix of LED luminaires, wireless controls and presence detection, it can save up to 80% in running costs whilst typically delivering back the return on investment in under 3 years. As the solution is wireless, it is an easy retrofit solution that will match the lumen output of traditional fluorescents.

Weour EcoDesign process we aim to create products and solutions that have significantly less impact on the environment during their whole lifecycle through our EcoDesign process.lifecycle. Overall, the most significant improvements have been realized in our energy efficiency Green Focal Area, an important objective of our EcoVision program, although there was also growing attention for hazardous substances and recyclability in all sectorssegments in 2013,2016, the latter driven by our Circular Economy initiatives.

New Green Products and Solutions from each segment include the following examples.

4.3.3Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

In 2016, our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses maintained the Green Product and Solutions portfolio with redesigns of various Green Products with further environmental improvements. These products improve patient outcomes, provide better value, and help secure access to high-quality care, while reducing environmental impact. We continued to add an energy-efficient CryoCompressor to our MRI systems, with energy savings in the variousnon-scanning modes of30-40%.

Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

Our Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses grew the Green Product and Solutions portfolio with three new products and solutions which offer better technology and functionality and at the same time reduce environmental impact. Examples include a new patient monitor GS10/GS20/G30E/G40E series from our Goldway China site with a 21% reduction in product weight and an 18% reduction in energy usage, compared to the predecessor products. Another example is the patient mask AF541, which has a 33% lower product weight and no longer contains polycarbonate compared to its predecessor mask and thus has no risk of containingbisphenol-A.

Personal Health businesses

Our Personal Health businesses focuses on Green Products and Solutions which meet or exceed our minimum requirements in the areas of energy consumption, packaging, and substances of concern. Green Revenues in 2016 surpassed 56% of total sales. All our Green Products with rechargeable batteries (like toothbrushes, shavers, and grooming products) exceed the stringent California energy efficiency norm by at least 10%. We are making steady progress in developingPVC/BFR-free products. More than 55% of sales consist ofPVC/BFR-free products, with the exception of the power cords, for which there are not yet economically viable alternatives available. In the remaining 30% of product sales, PVC/BFR has already been phased out to a significant extent, but the products are not yet completely free of these substances.

Sleep & Respiratory Care (S&RC) launched the Simple Mini Go portable oxygen concentrator (POC), the smallest and lightest POC ever developed by Philips; compared to its predecessor the product weight has been reduced by 40% and energy efficiency improved by 20%.

Lighting

Green Revenues within Lighting increased to 78% in 2016. Connected Lighting systems and LED contributed to Green Revenues with solutions in more applications and market segments. In Jakarta, Indonesia, 90,000 street luminaires were retrofitted this year with energy efficient LED lights connected by the Philips CityTouch lighting management system. Each light point is now connected, using sensors that collect performance data. As a result, city officials can now monitor Jakarta’s lighting infrastructure, remotely managing light levels to match different needs by district. At the same time, Jakarta can better manage its carbon footprint, reduce energy expenses and improve public services.

Carbon footprint and energy efficiency

Both Royal Philips and Philips Lighting are committed to the ambition of becoming carbon-neutral in our operations during the COP21 United Nations Climate Summit in Paris (December 2015). The target we have set is to be 100% carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020 and sourcing all our electricity usage from 100% renewable sources.

After achieving our EcoVision4 carbon emissions40% reduction target in 2012 (25% operational CO22015 compared to our 2007 base year we continued to decrease our carbon emissions in 2016. We achieved a 5% carbon reduction compared to 2007, the baseline year) we continued our energy efficiency improvement programs across different disciplines2015, resulting in 2013. Examples are Work Place Innovation, partnering in the KLM BioFuel program and Green Logistics. However, in 2013 our Carbon Footprint increased by 2% to 1,654a total of 1,344 kilotonnes CO2 asemission. This reduction is mainly driven by increasing our renewable electricity share globally from 56% in 2015 to 62% in 2016. This led to a result17% carbon reduction in our industrial sites. As of increasedDecember 2016 we source 100% of our US electricity demand from the Los Mirasoles windfarm in Texas through a15-year Power Purchase Agreement. Additionally, Philips created a renewable electricity purchasing consortium with AkzoNobel, DSM and Google, and the four companies closed the first wind energy transaction in the Netherlands in October 2016 – the Krammer windfarm in the Zeeland province.

Our business travel emissions showed a reduction of 4% compared to 2015, driven by a stricter air travel policy introduced in the last quarter of 2016. This led to an air travel reduction of 5%. The emissions resulting from our lease cars decreased by 4%, slightly offset by an increase in carbon emissions from air transport (to mitigate supply shortages), the increased use of SF6 (a substance with high Global Warming Potential impact) and increasedour rental cars usage (+6%). In order to further decrease our business travel due to our increasing focus on emerging markets. These were, however, partly offset by decreasing emissions resulting from reduced office space (Work Place Innovation), consolidation of warehouses, the changing industrial footprint, and the increase in purchased electricity from renewable sources.

In 2013, CO2 emissions from non-industrial sites decreased 20%, in large part attributable to our Work Place Innovation program which enables flex-working and thus reduces the floor space in our portfolio. But also our continuing focus on buildings’ energy efficiency and the increased share of purchased electricity from renewable sources have helped achieve this.

4.5 Outlook

Achieving the 2013 financial targets was an important milestone and we have now set our sights on reaching our 2016 targets. We are confident in our ability to further improve our performance by continuing the strong focus on our Accelerate! transformation program. Looking at 2014, we remain cautious because of the ongoing macro-economic uncertainties, currency headwinds and softer order intake in Q4 2013. Therefore, we expect that 2014 will be a modest step towards our 2016 targets, also taking into account restructuring to drive the new productivity targets and investments in additional growth initiatives.

4.62.5 Critical accounting policies

Critical accounting policies

The preparation of Philips’ financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. The policies that management considers both to be most important to the presentation of Philips’ financial condition and results of operations and to make the most significant demands on management’s judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, are discussed below. Management cautions that future events often vary from forecasts and that estimates routinely require adjustment. A more detailed description of Philips’ accounting policies appears in the note 1, Significant accounting policies section.

Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits.

Retirement benefits represent obligations that will be settled in the future and require assumptions to project benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets. Retirement benefit accounting is intended to reflect the recognition of future benefit costs over the employee’s approximate service period, based on the terms of the plans and the investment and funding decisions made. The accounting requires management to make assumptions regarding variables such as discount rate, rate of compensation increase, mortality rate and future healthcare costs. Pension assumptions are set centrally by management in consultation with its local, regional or country management and locally appointed actuaries at least once a year. For the Company’s major plans, a full discount rate curve of high quality corporate bonds (using Towers Watson RATE:Link data) is used to determine the defined benefit obligation whereas for other plans a single point discount rate is used based on the plan’s maturity. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market, use a discount rate based on the local sovereign curve and the plan’s maturity. Relevant data regarding various local swap curves, sovereign bond curves and/or corporate AA bonds are set by local actuaries. Changes in the key assumptions can have a significant impact on the projected benefit obligations, funding requirements and periodic cost incurred.

For a discussion of the current funded status, a sensitivity analysis with respect to pension plan assumptions, a summary of the changes in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations and a reconciliation of the obligations to the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, please refer to note 30, Post-employment benefits.

Accounting for income taxes

As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it conducts business. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense and temporary differences between tax and financial reporting.deferred tax. Temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability and will only recognize these if it is believed that sufficient future taxable profit is available, including income from forecasted operating earnings, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and established tax planning relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity. For a discussion of the fiscaltax uncertainties, please refer to the information under the heading “Tax risks” innote 5,8, Income taxes.taxes.

Multi-element sales transactions

From time to time the Company is engaged in complex sales transactions relating to multi-element deliveries (for example a single sales transaction that combines of the delivery of goods and rendering of services). The process of revenue recognition of such multi-element sales transactions involves the identification of the different sales components, the allocation of revenue to these different components and the timing of revenue recognition per component. Each of these process steps can be complex and requires judgment. In order to identify different components in a single sales contract, the Company verifies if a component has a stand-alone value to the customer and whether the fair value of the component can be measured reliably. Allocation of revenue to the different components is performed based on either a relative fair value approach or by means of a residual or fair value method, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate to the transaction. Eventually, revenue for each component is recognisedrecognized when meeting the revenue recognition criteria in accordance with IAS 18 or IAS 11.18.

Provisions and Contingent liabilities

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

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

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

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

Provisions on onerous contracts represent the lesser of the unavoidable costs of either fulfilling or exiting the related contract, and in which the costs to fulfill the contract exceed the benefits expected to be received under such contract. In determining the cost of fulfilling the contract, the payments due in the period in which the contract cannot be cancelled are considered, unless there is a lesser amount of penalty to exit the

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

Group performance 2.5

Accounting for obsolete inventoriesImpairment ofnon-financial assets

The Company records its inventories at cost and accounts for the risk of obsolescence using the lower of cost and net realizable value principle. The expected future use of inventory is based on estimates about future demand and past experience with similar inventories and their usage.

Accounting for bad debt

The risk of uncollectability of accounts receivable is primarily estimated based on prior experience with, and the past due status of, doubtful debtors, while large accounts are assessed individually based on factors that include ability to pay, bankruptcy and payment history. In addition, debtors in certain countries are subject to a higher collectability risk, which is taken into account when assessing the risk of uncollectability. Should the outcome differ from the assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated valuation allowances would be required.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require so. The Company reviewsnon-financial assets, other than goodwill for impairment, when events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

In determining impairments ofnon-current assets like intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, investments in associates and goodwill, management must make significant judgments and estimates to determine whether the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value. Changes in assumptions and estimates included within the impairment reviews and tests could result in significantly different results than those recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In 2016 the Company performed and completed annual impairment tests in the second quarter, in line with all years presented in the Statements of income, and in the fourth quarter. The recoverable amount is the higheradditional impairment test at year-end was performed in view of the asset’s valuechange in usethe date of test from second quarter to fourth quarter, as from 2017, to better align it with planning and its fair value less costs to sell, the determination of which involves significant judgment and estimates from management.forecasting cycles.

Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units. The basis of the recoverable amount used in the annual impairment test (performed in Q2) and trigger-based impairment tests is generally the value in use. Key assumptions used in the impairment tests were sales growth rates, Adjusted income from operations1) and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using management’s internal forecasts that cover an initial period from 20132016 to 2017 that matches the period used2019 for our strategic review.Royal Philips units and 2016 to 2020 for Philips Lighting units. Projections were extrapolated with stable or declining growth rates for a period of five years, after which a terminal value was calculated. For terminal value calculation, growth rates were capped at a historical long termlong-term average growth rate.

Discontinued operations andnon-current assets held for sale

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

Determining whether anon-current asset will be primarily recovered through sale rather than through continuing use requires judgment. The Company assesses whether such asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups, and its sale is assessed to be highly probably. Furthermore, in order to determine if that component qualifies as a discontinued operations, judgment is required when the Company assesses whether a component of an entity represents a major line of business or geographical area compared to the whole of the Company and whether the sale is a part of a single coordinated plan.

The health technology landscape

LOGOHealth systems around the world are under increasing economic pressure. More people are living longer, and more are living with chronic conditions – driving healthcare spending to unsustainable levels. Shortages of healthcare professionals are also adding to the relentless challenge of delivering better care at lower cost to growing patient populations.

Fundamental transformative changes are already taking place in the healthcare industry to enable the provision of affordable, quality care to those who need it. A shift is under way towards value-based healthcare, which places greater emphasis on results, driving the reduction of waste and inefficiency, increasing access and improving outcomes, while at the same time reducing costs.

Consumers are becoming increasingly engaged in managing their own health, with greater attention being focused on the benefits of healthy living and home care. Mobile and digital technologies are significant enablers of this trend, leading to new care delivery models – founded upon integrated care, real-time analytics and personalized solutions and services – that give patients greater control over, and responsibility for, their health.

Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) is a health technology company focused on improving people’s lives through meaningful innovation across the health continuum – from healthy living and prevention to diagnosis, treatment and home care. Applying advanced technologies and deep clinical and consumer insights, Philips partners with customers to deliver integrated solutions that enable better outcomes at lower cost.

Our structure in 2016

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the(‘Royal Philips’ or the ‘Company’) is the parent company of the Philips Group (‘Philips’ or the ‘Group’)., headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Company is managed by the members of the Executive Committee (comprising the Board of Management and Executive Committeecertain key officers) under the supervision of the Supervisory Board. The Executive Committee operates under the chairmanship of the Chief Executive Officer and shares responsibility for the deployment of Philips’ strategy and policies, and the achievement of its objectives and results.

In September 2014, Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting opportunities respectively. To this end, a stand-alone structure was established for Philips Lighting within the Philips Group, effective February 1, 2016. Then, on May 27, 2016, Philips Lighting was listed and started trading on Euronext in Amsterdam under the symbol ‘LIGHT’. Following the listing of Philips Lighting, Philips retained a 71.225% stake and continued to consolidate Philips Lighting, through 2016. On February 8, 2017, Philips announced that it had successfully completed an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors and to Philips Lighting of 26.0 million shares in Philips Lighting, reducing Philips’ stake in Philips Lighting’s issued and outstanding share capital from 71.225% to approximately 55.180%. The transaction is in line with Philips’ stated objective to fully sell down its stake in Philips Lighting over the next several years.

In light of its focus on health technology, effective January 1, 2016, Philips eliminated the former Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle sector layers in order to drive the convergence of consumer health and professional healthcare, as well as to reduce overhead costs, and changed the reporting of its health technology activities. At the same time, the former Innovation, Group & Services was split and allocated to Philips and Philips Lighting respectively.

5 Sector performance 5.1.1 - 5.1.2

5.1.1 Health care landscape

Health systems in mature, developing and underserved markets around the world continue to press for new solutions that can help them provide accessible, affordable, quality care to diverse patient populations.

Increasingly, they are abandoning the notion that incremental improvements can resolve the overwhelming economic, demographic and logistic issues standing in the way of the care that is needed. Instead, they are pursuing new opportunities to approach the delivery of care differently.

This broader, deeper and bolder way of thinking is opening the door to a world of transformational solutions with far-reaching implications, ranging from cutting-edge technology platforms and protocols to innovative new business models and initiatives that are redefining the clinical experience across the continuum of care.

The demand for more effective care delivery is intensifying and unrelenting, as people live longer, suffer increasingly from chronic disease, and become bigger consumers of constrained healthcare resources. The burden that this places on health systems is unsustainable – and driving the need for industry-defining solutions.

5.1.2 About Philips Healthcare

At Philips, we are dedicated to delivering innovation that matters to our customers and the patients they serve. We do this by developing innovative solutions across the continuum of care in partnership with clinicians and our customers to improve patient outcomes, provide more and better value, and expand access to care.

Philips is one of the world’s leading healthcare companies (based on sales) along with General Electric and Siemens. The United States, our largest market, represented 40% of Healthcare’s global sales in 2013, followed by China, Japan and Germany. Growth geographies accounted for 25% of Healthcare sales. Philips Healthcare has approximately 37,000 employees worldwide.

Currently, there is no indication of product safety issues. Please refer to note 36, Subsequent events for further details.

With regard to sourcing, please refer to sub-section 13.2.2, Supplier indicators, of this report.

5.1.3 2013 highlights

In 2013, as healthcare systems continued to move forward with fundamental changes, we remained focused on delivering innovative solutions and investing in strategic alliances that help enable this transformation:

Addressing the world’s most prevalent diseases starts with the clinician’s ability to visualize clearly and accurately within the human body. By integrating imaging and information in meaningful ways – and drawing on our expertise in cardiology, oncology and other critical areas – we expanded our solutions offering with the launch of the EPIQ ultrasound system, advancements in image-guided interventional therapy and other innovations to improve diagnosis, treatment and management of disease.

Achieving the best possible patient outcomes depends on the clinician’s ability to access relevant information, anywhere and anytime. Through innovative devices and strategic collaboration, such as our work with Mayo Clinic on developing cloud-based solutions for the intensive care unit (ICU), we helped providers manage massive amounts of patient data for more confident diagnosis and treatment. Our solutions also helped optimize workflows in an increasingly connected care environment.

The delivery of continuous, quality care to patients living with chronic conditions requires a thoughtful, coordinated approach. New solutions combining advanced functionality and patient-centric design, including the Wisp minimal contact nasal mask for sleep and respiratory therapy, were introduced to help patients adhere to a health regimen for more independent living.

The complexities of healthcare delivery call for comprehensive solutions to address staggering costs, clinician shortages and demanding patient populations. Through customized models and programs, as demonstrated by our multi-year alliance with Georgia Regents Medical Center to facilitate innovative and affordable patient-centered care, we continued to help visionary health systems address these challenges today while moving toward a sustainable future.

Optimizing resources to cost-effectively meet the needs of resource-intensive patient populations requires integrated solutions. By leveraging our leadership in telehealth technology and care coordination, we implemented new Hospital to Home programs with BannerPersonal Health in the US and opened eICUs with Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in the UK.

2013 also marked the third year of our Accelerate! journey of change and performance improvement. We made significant progress driving customer centricity deep into our organization, embracing operational excellence through programs like Design for X (where X can be cost, quality, manufacturing, refurbishment, etc.) and fostering a growth and performance culture across our businesses. One of the key outcomes has been faster alignment across Philips Healthcare in delivering locally relevant innovations and making these solutions more cost-effective through efficiencies in product development.

5.3.1 Lighting business landscape

We are witnessing a number of trends and transitions that are affecting the lighting industry and changing the way people use and experience light.

We serve a large and attractive market that is driven by the need for more light, energy-efficient lighting, and digital lighting. Over half the world’s population currently lives in urban areas: a figure that is expected to rise to over 70% by 2050. That means 3 billion extra city

dwellers. These people will all need light. In addition, the world needs energy-efficient light in the face of rising energy prices and climate change. At the same time, the lighting industry is moving from conventional to LED lighting, which is changing the way people use, experience and interact with light. LED technology, when combined with controls and software and linked into a network, is allowing light points to achieve a degree of intelligence. This is opening up the possibility of new functionalities and services based on the transmission and analysis of data.

The lighting market is expected to grow by 4-6% on a compound annual basis between 2013 and 2016. The majority of this growth will be driven by LED-based solutions and applications – heading towards a 45% share by 2015 – and growth geographies.

5.3.2 About Philips Lighting

Philips Lighting is a global market leader with recognized expertise in the development, manufacture and application of innovative, energy-efficient lighting products, systems and services that improve people’s lives. We have pioneered many of the key breakthroughs in lighting over the past 122 years, laying the basis for our current strength and ensuring we are well-placed to be a leader in the digital transformation.

We have a firm strategy in place to deliver even greater value for our customers. This strategy is based upon four pillars:

Lead the technological revolution – strengthen our leadership position through continued innovation in high-quality, efficient and connected LED systems.

Win in the consumer market – build on our strengths in lamps by meeting consumers’ needs and delivering innovative products, such as the Hue personal wireless lighting system that can be controlled by a smart phone or tablet.

Accelerate! – strengthen our capabilities and improve the way we work so that we reduce our costs, are more productive, and fully satisfy our customers’ expectations.

We aim to further strengthen our position in the digital market through added investment in LED leadership while at the same time capitalizing on our broad portfolio, distribution and brand in conventional lighting – seizing the significant opportunity to grow market share and optimize profits in conventional lamps and drivers by flexibly anticipating the slower or faster phase-out of conventional products.

We address people’s lighting needs across a full range of market segments. Indoors, we offer lighting solutions for homes, shops, offices, schools, hotels, factories and hospitals. Outdoors, we offer solutions for roads (street lighting and car lights) and for public spaces, residential areas and sports arenas, as well as solar-powered LED off-grid lighting. In addition, we address the desire for light-inspired experiences through architectural projects. Finally, we offer specific applications of lighting in specialized areas, such as horticulture and water purification.

3.1.4 Healthy people, sustainable planet

Sustainability continued to play an important role in the Personal Health businesses in 2016, with the main focus on optimizing the sustainability performance of our products and operations. Green Revenues, sales of products and solutions which meet or exceed our minimum requirements in the area of energy consumption, packaging and/or substances of concern, accounted for 56% of total sales in 2016. All Green Products with rechargeable batteries exceed the stringent California energy efficiency standard by at least 10%. And over 54% of total sales arePVC- and/orBFR-free products (excluding power cords).

As part of our Circular Economy program we have continued to increase the use of recycled materials in our products. Over 1,440 tons of recycled plastics were used in kitchen appliances, vacuum cleaners, irons, air purification and coffee machines, compared to 900 tons in 2015. The revenue from Circular Products reached over EUR 414 million in 2016, comprised of turnover generated from performance- and access-based business models in Sleep & Respiratory Care and products with recycled plastic materials.

As a concrete example of our commitment to sustainability we launched the new Performer Ultimate vacuum cleaner, for which we have created a closed-loop recycling system. Old Philips vacuum cleaners are collected in Western Europe and recycled separately from other products and brands. The plastics from the old vacuum cleaners are then mixed with other recycled plastics to create a new recycled plastic that is used to produce the new Performer Ultimate, which is free of PVC/BFR, has anA-class energy label and contains 36% recycled plastics.

In our operations we continue to draw most of our electricity from renewable sources, with the ultimate aim of havingCO2-neutral production sites by 2020. In 2016, 47% of the electricity used in manufacturing sites came from renewable sources and 85% of the industrial waste was recycled. We sent 7% of our manufacturing waste to landfill in 2016 and started a detailed analysis of waste streams that are landfilled by our production sites. Based on this we will define actions to reach our goal of zero waste to landfill in 2020.

Sales at Philips’ Diagnosis & Treatment businesses are generally higher in the second half of the year, largely due to the timing of new product availability and customer spending patterns.

Sales channels are a mix of a direct sales force, especially in all the larger markets, combined with online sales portal and distributors – this varies by product, market and price segment. Sales are mostly driven by a direct sales force that has an intimate knowledge of the procedures for which our devices are used, and visits our customer base frequently.

Commitment to quality

The implementation of the Philips Business System is embedding a fundamental commitment to quality across all our processes, products, systems and services. This commitment is of vital importance in the extensively regulated health equipment and system business. We are committed to compliance with regulatory product approval and quality system requirements in every market we serve, by addressing specific requirements of local and national regulatory authorities including the US FDA, the CFDA in China and comparable agencies in other countries, as well as the European Union’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.

The imaging businesses and image processing applications are governed by regulatory approvals in the markets that we serve. In almost all cases, new products that we introduce are subject to a regulatory approval process (e.g. 510k for FDA approvals in the USA). Failing to comply with the regulatory requirements can have severe consequences. The number and diversity of regulatory bodies in the various markets we operate in globally adds complexity and time to product introductions. Regulatory approval is a prerequisite for market introduction of medical devices.

Further progress was made in 2016 in strengthening the remediated quality management system at our facility in Cleveland, Ohio, with theramp-up of production and shipments continuing in 2017.

With regard to sourcing, please refer tosub-section 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of this report.

We are committed to compliance with regulatory product approval and quality system requirements in every market we serve, by addressing specific requirements of local and national regulatory authorities including the US FDA, the CFDA in China and comparable agencies in other countries, as well as the European Union’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.

The connected care and health informatics applications are governed by regulatory approvals in the markets that we serve. In almost all cases, new products that we introduce are subject to a regulatory approval process (e.g. 510k for FDA approvals in USA, CE Mark in the European Union). Failing to comply with the regulatory requirements of the target markets can prevent shipment of products. The number and diversity of regulatory bodies in the various markets we operate in globally adds complexity and time to product introductions. Regulatory approval is a prerequisite for market introduction.

Philips’ products and related services are subject to restructuring, lower inventoriesvarious regulations and currency effects,standards. The Company is committed to quality and over the last years made investments to enable significant progress in this area. The Company is currently in advanced discussions on resolving a civil matter with the US Department of Justice representing the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), arising from past inspections by the FDA in and prior to 2015. The discussions focus primarily on the Company’s compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulations in the Company’s Emergency Care and Resuscitation (ECR) business in the United States. While discussions have not yet concluded, the Company anticipates that the actions necessary to address the FDA’s compliance concerns will have a meaningful impact on the operations of its ECR business.

3.5 Lighting

Philips Lighting is led by Eric Rondolat, who has held the position of Chief Executive Officer since the company was listed on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange (ticker symbol: LIGHT) on May 27, 2016. Prior to that, he was Chief Executive Officer of Lighting at Royal Philips from April 2012 to May 27, 2016.

Following the listing of Philips Lighting, Philips retained a 71.225% stake and continued to consolidate Philips Lighting through 2016, with the aim of fully selling down over the next several years. On February 8, 2017, Philips announced that it had successfully completed an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors and to Philips Lighting of 26.0 million shares in Philips Lighting, reducing Philips’ stake in Philips Lighting’s issued and outstanding share capital from 71.225% to approximately 55.180%. The transaction is in line with Philips’ stated objective to fully sell down its stake in Philips Lighting over the next several years.

3.5.1 Lighting landscape

A number of trends and transitions are affecting the lighting industry and changing the way people use and experience light.

Philips Lighting serves a large and attractive market that is driven by the need for more light, the need for energy-efficient lighting, and the need for digital and connected lighting.

The world’s population is forecast to grow from 7 billion today to over 10 billion by 2050. At the same time, we are witnessing rapid urbanization, with about two-thirds of the world’s population expected to live in urban areas by 2050. These trends will increase demand for light. In addition, in the face of resource constraints and climate change, the world needs that light to be energy-efficient. At the same time, the lighting industry is moving from conventional to LED lighting, which is changing the way people use, experience and interact with light. Digital technologies enable connectivity and seamless integration in software architectures, systems and services.

Connected lighting allows light points to be used as information pathways, opening up new functionalities and services based on the transmission and analysis of data.

3.5.2 About Lighting

Philips Lighting is a global market leader with recognized expertise in the development, manufacture and application of innovative, energy-efficient lighting products, systems and services that improve people’s lives. It has pioneered many of the key breakthroughs in lighting over the past 125 years, laying the basis for its current strength and leading position in the digital transformation to connected lighting.

Philips Lighting has a firm strategy which is based upon six priorities:

Optimize cash from conventional products to fund our growth

Innovate in LED products commercially and technologically to outgrow the market

Lead the shift to systems, building the largest connected installed base

Capture adjacent value through new services business models

Be our customers’ best business partner locally, leveraging our global scale

Accelerate! on our operational excellence improvement journey

The work Philips Lighting did in 2016 saw it extend its lighting leadership into the Internet of Things and allowed it to unlock new experiences and value for customers. It announced many connected lighting innovations, and new customers and partnerships, for street lighting, retail, offices and homes.

The company aims to further invest to support its leadership in LED and connected lighting systems and services while at the same time capitalizing on its broad portfolio, distribution and brand in conventional lighting by successful implementation of its ‘last man standing’ strategy.

Philips Lighting addresses people’s lighting needs across a full range of market segments. Indoors, it offers lighting products, systems and services for homes, shops, offices, schools, hotels, factories and hospitals.

In addition, it addresses the desire for light- inspired experiences through architectural projects. Finally, it offers specific applications of lighting in specialized areas, such as entertainment, horticulture, and water purification.

In 2016, Philips Lighting spanned a full-service lighting value chain – from lamps, luminaires, electronics and controls to connected and application-specific systems and services – through the business groups Lamps, LED, Professional and Home.

Commitment to quality

The implementation of the Philips Business System is embedding a fundamental commitment to quality across all Philips Lighting’s processes, products, systems and services. Lighting is subject to significant regulatory requirements in the markets where it operates. These include the European Union’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Energy-related Products (ErP) and Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) directives.

3.5.3 2016 business highlights

Philips Lighting is actively building partnerships for its connected lighting systems for both professional and consumer markets. The company announced a partnership with US company Aisle411 for digital mapping of retail stores. It also teamed up with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and with Huawei’s OceanConnect for the interoperability of the Philips Hue connected lighting system, making this the first connected lighting system that can be used with all leading smart home platforms.

Philips Lighting’s partnership with Cisco resulted in Power-over-Ethernet connected lighting systems for the headquarters of Smartworld in Dubai, Intel’s new research campus in Bangalore and Infinorsa’s Torre Europa building in Madrid.

In the retail segment Philips Lighting implemented its first connected lighting indoor positioning system in the Middle East with United Arab Emirates-based retailer aswaaq, one of the world’s most innovative supermarkets and community malls. The new system uses lights that act as a positioning system and allows customers to use smartphones to access location-based services.

Philips Lighting also extended the number of connected street lighting contracts, supplying nearly 90,000 connected street luminaires in Jakarta as one of its biggest projects to date. The system will be managed by the Philips CityTouch street lighting management system, which has been installed in more than 700 projects across 35 countries since its inception in 2012.

The range of LED lighting was extended with Philips SceneSwitch, which combines multiple light settings in one lamp, enabling users to select the right light for their needs using an existing wall switch. It also introduced a range of spots and decorative bulbs that use WarmGlow for dimming, meaning the more you dim, the warmer the light effect. With Dubai Municipality the company developed the Dubai lamp, the world’s most energy-efficient commercially available lamp. This family of six lamps and two spots covers 80% of the light sockets in the city.

The company broadened the appeal of its Philips Hue connected lighting system for the home by adding an innovative motion sensor, which allows users to switch their Philips Hue lights on and off simply by walking in or leaving a room.

The Philips Hue range was also extended with Philips Hue white ambiance, providing users with every shade of white light.

Philips Lighting expanded the number of sports stadiums using its Philips ArenaVision dynamic LED pitch lighting, adding the Amsterdam Arena, the Juventus Stadium in Turin, the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg and the indoor stadium in Cairo. The company also provided pitch, façade and office lighting for Atletico Madrid. Philips Lighting is responsible for the pitch lighting of over 65% of stadiums involved in major international sports events.

3.5.6 Separation of Lighting

In September 2014, Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting opportunities respectively. Before the listing of Philips Lighting on Euronext in May 2016, a stand-alone structure was established for Philips Lighting within the Philips Group, effective February 1, 2016. To effectuate the separation and to provide a framework for the relationship between the two companies after the separation, Philips and Philips Lighting entered into a separation agreement and a set of ancillary agreements (collectively, the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement allocated assets, liabilities, employees and contracts of the Philips Group between the current groups of Philips and Philips Lighting. The separation was guided by the principle that the Philips Lighting group comprises substantially all of Philips’ former lighting business, related assets and liabilities, employees and contracts, as well as allocated activities from the former Innovation, Group & Regional OverheadServices sector. Furthermore, certain historical exposures and liabilities of the Philips Group were allocated to each of the groups of Philips and Philips Lighting, which are unrelated to their respective businesses.

Upon the listing of Philips Lighting in May 2016, Philips and Philips Lighting also entered into a relationship agreement (the “Relationship Agreement”) to manage the continuing relationship between Philips Lighting and Philips as a large shareholder of Philips Lighting upon such listing. The Relationship Agreement will terminate when the stake of Philips falls below 10% (with the exception of certain specific provisions).

Philips engages in various transactions with certain affiliated entities which form part of the consolidated Group, including Philips Lighting and its consolidated subsidiaries. These transactions include, but are not limited to, provision of certain transitional services (including transitional IT services) by Philips to such affiliated entities or by such affiliated entities to Philips, licensing of intellectual property (including trademarks of the Group) by Philips to such affiliated entities, and licensing of the Philips company name to such affiliated entities. Such transactions between Philips and its subsidiaries are not disclosed innote 26, Related-party transactions, because they are eliminated on consolidation. A list of our material subsidiaries, including material subsidiaries of Philips Lighting, is shown innote 5, Interests in entities as well as insection 16.6, Exhibit 8, of this report.

64 Reconciliation ofnon-GAAP information

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the ‘Company’) believes that an understanding of sales performance, capital efficiency, financial strength and its funding requirements is enhanced by introducing certainNon-GAAP measures, such as Comparable sales growth, Adjusted income from operations / EBITA and Net debt. In this chapter these measures are further explained and reconciled to GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP measures referred to in this report are cross referenced to this chapter.

Comparable sales growth

Comparable sales exclude the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. As indicated in thenote 1, Significant accounting policies, sales and income are translated from foreign currencies into the Company’s reporting currency, the euro, at the exchange rate on transaction dates during the respective years. As a result of significant currency movements during the years presented, the effects of translating foreign currency sales amounts into euros could have a material impact. Therefore, these impacts have been excluded in arriving at the comparable sales in euros. Currency effects have been calculated by translating previous years’ foreign currency sales amounts into euros at the following year’s exchange rates in comparison with the sales in euros as historically reported. The years under review were characterized by a number of acquisitions and divestments, as a result of which 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 contributed to a venture that is not consolidated by the Company, relevant sales are excluded from impacted prior-year periods. Similarly, when an entity is acquired, relevant sales are excluded from impacted periods.

Adjusted income from operations

The Company uses the terms EBIT and Adjusted income from operations to evaluate the performance of the Philips Group and its operating segments. The term EBIT has the same meaning as Income from operations and the term EBITA has the same meaning as Adjusted income from operations. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before amortization and impairment on intangible assets (excluding software and capitalized development expenses). Referencing Adjusted income from operations is considered appropriate as the Company uses it as one of its strategic drivers to increase profitability throughre-allocation of its resources towards opportunities offering more consistent and higher returns and it will make the underlying performance of our businesses more transparent as it will not be distorted by the unpredictable effects of future, unidentified acquisitions.

Adjusted income from operations is not a financial measure in accordance with IFRS. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted income from operations 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.

6.1 5.1Our approach to risk management and business control

The following section presents an overviewExecutive Committee, supported by the Risk Management Support Team, oversees and manages enterprise risk. The Risk Management Support Team consists of Philips’ approacha number of functional experts covering the various categories of enterprise risk and supports by increasing the understanding of the Enterprise Risk profile and continuously working to improve the enterprise risk management framework. Management is the primary responsible for identifying the critical risks and business controlsfor the implementation of appropriate risk responses.

Philips believes risk management is a value creating activity and a descriptionas such it is an integral element of the naturePhilips Business System (PBS). Risk management supports us in taking sound risk-reward strategic decisions to maximize value creation, it supports sustainable results on our Path to Value, it protects our key strengths (Capabilities, Assets, and the extent of its exposure to risks. Positions) and it supports process excellence.

Philips’ risk management focuses on the following risk categories: Strategic, Operational, Compliance and Financial risks. TheseThe main risks within these categories are further described insection 6.2,5.2, Risk categories and factors, of this report. The risk overview highlights the mainmaterial risks known to Philips, which could hinder it in achieving its strategic and financial business objectives. The risk overview may, however, not include all the risks that may ultimately affect Philips. Some risks not yet known to Philips, or currently believed not to be material, could ultimately have a major impact on Philips’ businesses, objectives, revenues, income, assets, liquidity or capital resources.

All oral and written forward-looking statements made on or after the date of this Annual Report and attributable to Philips are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors described in the cautionary statement included inForward-looking statements, of this report and the overview of risk factors described insection 6.2,5.2, Risk categories and factors, of this report.

Risk Management Framework

Risk management and control forms an integral part of the Philips business planning and performance review cycle. The company’s risk and control policy is designed to provide reasonable assurance that objectives are met by integrating risk assessment in the strategic planning process, integrating management control into the daily operations, by ensuring compliance with legal requirements and by safeguarding the integrity of the company’s financial reporting and its related disclosures. It makes management responsible for identifying the critical business risks and for the implementation of fit-for-purposeappropriate risk responses. Philips’ risk management approach is embedded in the areas of corporate governance,Corporate Governance, elements of the Philips Business System (Strategic Investment Decision Making, Asset Protection, Operational Excellence, Planning & Performance Cycle), Philips Business Control Framework and Philips General Business Principles. The Risk Management Support Team supports management by assessing the Enterprise Risk profile and continuously working to improve the enterprise risk management framework. Structured risk assessments take place according to the Philips process standard for managing risk.

Philips’ risk management process addresses risks related to different categories: Strategic, Operational, Compliance and Financial risks. The Executive Committee and management consider risk appetite when taking decisions and seek to manage risks consistently within the risk appetite. Risk appetite is different for the various risk categories:

Strategic risks and opportunities may affect Philips’ strategic ambitions. Strategic risks include economic and political developments and the need to anticipate and respond timeously to market circumstances. Philips is prepared to take considerable strategic risks given the necessity to invest in research & development and manage the portfolio of businesses, including acquisitions and divestments, in a highly uncertain global political and economic environment.

Operational risks include adverse unexpected developments resulting from internal processes, people and systems, or from external events that are linked to the actual running of each business (examples are solution and product creation and supply chain management). Philips aims to minimize downside risks due to the need for high quality of its products and services, reliable IT systems and sustainability commitments.

Compliance risks cover unanticipated failures to implement, or comply with, appropriate laws, regulations, policies and procedures. Philips has a zero tolerance policy towardsnon-compliance in relation to breaches of its General Business Principles.

Financial risk include risks related to Treasury, Accounting and Reporting, Pensions and Tax. Philips is prudent with regard to financial risks and the risk appetite is described in various chapters of this annual report, includingnote 30, Details of treasury / other financial risks.

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

Corporate governanceGovernance

Corporate governance is the system by which a company is directed and controlled. Philips believes that good corporate governance is a critical factor in achieving business success. Good corporate governance derives from, amongstamong other things, solideffective internal controls and high ethical standards.

The quality of Philips’ systemssystem of risk management, business controlscontrol and theother findings of internal and external audits are reported to and discussed by the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. Internal auditors monitor the quality of therisk management and business controls through risk-based operational audits, inspections of financial reporting controls and compliance audits.

Audit & Risk committees at groupGroup level, (Group, Finance, InnovationBusiness Groups, Markets and IT), at Global Market level and at Sector level (Healthcare, Lighting, Consumer Lifestyle)key Functional areas meet quarterly, chaired by first line leadership, to address weaknesses in therisk management and business controls infrastructurestructure as reported by internal and external auditors or revealed by self-assessment of management and to take corrective action where necessary. These auditAudit & Risk committees are also involved in determining the desired company-wide internal audit planning as approved by the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. In addition to the Audit Committee, the Quality and Regulatory (Q&R) Committee of the Supervisory Board assists the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities particularly in respect of the quality of the Company’s products, systems, services and software and the development, testing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing thereof, and regulatory requirements relating thereto. As such, the Q&R Committee supports the Company’s risk management in the relevant risk areas. Anin-depth description of Philips’ corporate governance structure can be found inchapter 10,9, Corporate governance, of this report.

Risk Management

Taking risks is an inherent part of entrepreneurial behavior and well-structured risk management allows management to take risks in a controlled manner. In order to provide a comprehensive view of Philips’ risks, structured risk assessments take place according to the Philips process standard for risk management, combining elements of atop-down andbottom-up approach. The process is supported by workshops with management at Business, Market and Group Function levels. During 2016, several risk management workshops were held.

Key elements of the Philips risk management process are:

Annual risk assessment for the Group, Business Groups, Markets and key Functions as part of the annual update of the strategic plan. Risks are assessed and prioritized on their impact on objectives, likelihood of occurrence and effectiveness of controls. Management is accountable for the timely development of effective risk responses.

Developments in the risk profile and management’s initiatives to improve risk responses are explicitly discussed and monitored during the quarterly Audit & Risk Committees and in the Quarterly Performance Reviews (QPR).

As an integral part of the strategy review, the Executive Committee annually assesses the enterprise risk profile, including appropriate risk scenarios and sensitivity analysis, and reviews the potential impact of the enterprise risk profile versus the Group’s risk appetite. This risk assessment is based on the latest annual risk assessments of the Group, Business Groups, Markets and key Functions and changes to these, if any, as reported during the periodic review meetings, findings from Philips Internal Audit, Legal and Insurance, the Materiality analysis as described inchapter 12, Sustainability

Developments in the Enterprise Risk profile and management’s initiatives to improve risk responses are discussed and monitored during the quarterly Group Audit & Risk Committee.

The Executive Committee reviews at least annually the Philips risk management approach and improves the process as required.

The Philips risk profile and the risk management approach are discussed at least annually with the Supervisory Board.

Examples of measures taken to further strengthen the risk management framework include:

Definition and execution of the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) improvement roadmap;

Process standardization for Risk Management, Internal Control, Compliance and Audit processes as part of the Philips Excellence Process Framework (PEPF) to drive efficiency and continuous improvement;

The establishment of an Information Security Office and Program in light of the increasing exposure to cybercrime and information security requirements resulting from digitalization and a focus on the Healthcare industry;

The development of risk management related to long-term strategic partnership given the growing importance of service-based business models.

Philips Business Control Framework

The Philips Business Control Framework (BCF) sets the standard for risk management and business control in Philips. The objectives of the BCF are to maintain integrated management control of the company’s operations, in order to ensure the integrity of the financial reporting, as well as compliance with laws and regulations. Philips is usinghas designed its BCF based on the “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework on internal control (1992) as a basis for the BCF.. Philips continuously evaluates and improves its BCF to align with business dynamics and good practice.

As part of the BCF, Philips has implemented a global standard for internal control over financial reporting (ICS). The ICS, together with Philips’ established accounting procedures, 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. ICS has been deployed in all mainmaterial reporting units, where business process owners perform an extensive number of controls, document the results each quarter, and take corrective action where necessary. ICS supports sectorbusiness and functional management in a quarterly cycle of assessment and monitoring of its control environment. The findings of management’s evaluation are reported to the Executive Committee and the Supervisory Board quarterly.

As part of the Annual Report process, management’s accountability for business controls is enforced through the formal issuance of a Statement on Business Controls and a Letter of Representation by sectorBusiness Group, Market and functionalFunctional management to the Executive Committee. Any deficiencies noted in the design and operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting which were not completely remediated are evaluated atyear-end by the Executive Committee.Board of Management.

Philips General Business Principles

The Philips General Business Principles (GBP) govern Philips’ business decisions and actions throughout the world, applying to corporate actions and the behavior of individual employees. They incorporate the fundamental principles withinfor all Philips businesses around the globe. They set the minimum standard for doing business. The intentionbusiness conduct, both for individual employees and for the company and our subsidiaries. Our GBP also stand as a reference for the business conduct we expect from our business partners and suppliers. Translations of the text are available in 32 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 the GBP in theirday-to-day work environments.

In addition, there are separate Codes of Ethics that apply to employees working in specific areas of our business, i.e. the Procurement Code of Ethics and the Financial Code of Ethics. Details can be found at:www.philips.com/gbp.

As part of our unyielding effort to raise GBP awareness and create engagement throughout the organization, each year a GBP communications and training plan is deployed. In 2016, a number of new initiatives were undertaken through various channels such as Quick Reference Cards forat-a-glance guidance on how to ensure compliance with laws and regulations,handle a number of common GBP concerns, as well as returning programs such ase-Learnings for selected high-risk audiences. Many of these initiatives contributed to building momentum toward our now annual GBP Dialogue Week in October. During 2016’s Dialogue Week, hundreds of Philips teams held open and frank discussions on what Acting with Philips’ normsIntegrity means to them, and values.posted pictures of their sessions on the Philips social platform using the hashtag #integritymatters.

The GBP incorporate a whistleblower policy, standardized complaint reporting and a formal escalation procedure.

The Philips Ethics hotline seeks to ensure that alleged violations are registered and dealt with consistently within a company-wide system. To drive the practical deployment of the GBP, a set of directives has been published, which are applicable to all employees. There are also separate directives which apply to specific categories of employees (e.g. the Supply Management Code of Ethics and Financial Code of Ethics, refer to www.philips.com/gbp).

To seek to ensure compliance with the highest standards of transparency and accountability by all employees performing important financial functions, the Financial Code of Ethics contains, amongst other things, standards to promote honest and ethical conduct, as well as full, accurate and timely disclosure procedures in order to avoid conflicts of interest.

The GBP self-assessment processReview Committee is fully embedded in an automated workflow application (ICS) supporting Sector, Market and functional management in monitoring internal controls, as described underresponsible for the Philips Business Control Framework. Embedding GBP self-assessments in ICS seeks to ensure that GBP compliance is now part of Sector, Market and functional management’s quarterly ICS/SOx (Sarbanes-Oxley) monitoring process, and that GBP non-compliance issues, if significant, are reported to the Board of Management/Executive Committee via the Quarterly Certification Statement process.

In June 2013, as parteffective deployment of the global GBP communications campaign,and for generally promoting a business integrity survey was rolled out toculture of compliance and ethics within Philips. The GBP Review Committee is chaired by the Chief Legal Officer, and its members include the Chief HR Officer, the Chief Market Leader and the Chief Financial Officer. They are supported in the implementation of their initiatives by a Committee Secretariat, and a network of GBP Compliance Officers, who are appointed in all employees to obtain their input onmarkets, countries and at all major sites where Philips has operations.

The insights that were derived from this survey were used to further enhance the effectivenessCharter of the currentGBP Review Committee. In 2016, in response to external regulatory developments in business ethics and compliance, activitiesa revised charter was deployed by the GBP Review Committee. This newly updated charter impacted the composition of the GBP Review Committee, the roles and responsibilities of its members as well as the composition, roles and responsibilities of the GBP Compliance function.

Taking risks is an inherent part of entrepreneurial behavior. A structured risk management process allows management to take risks in a controlled manner. In order to provide a comprehensive view of Philips’ enterprise risks, structured risk assessments take place in accordance with the Philips process standard to manage risk as described insection 5.1, Our approach to risk management, of this report. As a result of this process, amongst others, the following actions were performed during 2016:

Philips completed the separation of its Lighting business activities, risks and opportunities are identifiedsubsequently listed Philips Lighting on the Amsterdam stock exchange and sold a portion of its ownership. This separation has eliminated the separation risk discussed in a structured way combining elements of a top-down and bottom-up approach. Risks are reported on a regular basis as partthe 2015 Annual Report. Until the completion of the ‘Business Performance Management’ process. All relevantsale of its entire ownership in Philips Lighting, Philips remains exposed to risks and opportunities are prioritized in terms of impact and likelihood, considering quantitative and/or qualitative aspects. The bottom-up identification and prioritization process is supported by workshops with the respective management at Sector, Market and Group Function level. The top-down element allows potential new risks and opportunities to be discussed at management level and included in the subsequent reporting process, if found to be applicable. Reported risks and opportunities are analyzed for potential cumulative effects and are aggregated at Sector, Market and Group level. Philips has a structured risk management process to address different risk categories: Strategic, Operational, Compliance and Financial risks.

Strategic risks and opportunities may affect Philips’ strategic ambitions. Operational risks include adverse unexpected developments resulting from internal processes, people and systems, or from external events that are linkedregard to the actual runningvalue of each business (examples are solutionPhilips Lighting.

Philips describes the risk factors within each risk category in order of Philips’ current view of expected significance, to give stakeholders an insight into which risks and opportunities it considers more prominent than others at present. The risk overview highlights the main risks and opportunities known to Philips, which could hinder it in achieving its strategic and financial business objectives. The risk overview may, however, not include all the risks that may ultimately affect Philips. Describing risk factors in their order of expected significance within each risk category does not mean that a lower listed risk factor may not have a material and adverse impact on Philips’ business, strategic objectives, revenues, income, assets, liquidity, capital resources or achievement of Philips’ 2016 goals.

Furthermore, a risk factor described after other risk factors may ultimately prove to have more significant adverse consequences than those other risk factors. Over time Philips may change its view as to the relative significance of each risk factor.

6.35.3 Strategic risks

Philips may be unable to adapt swiftly to changes in industry or market circumstances, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition and results.

Fundamental shifts in the Healthcare and/or Lighting industries, like the transition towards digital, may drastically change the business environment. If Philips is unable to recognize these changes in good time, is late in adjusting its business models, or if circumstances arise such as pricing actions by competitors, then this could have a material adverse effect on Philips’ growth ambitions, financial condition and operating result.

As Philips’ business is global, its operations are exposed to economic and political developments in countries across the world that could adversely impact its revenues and income.

Philips’ business environment is influenced by political and economic conditions in the domesticindividual and global economies. Continued concerns aboutmarkets. Philips experienced the macroeconomic environmentimpact from changes in macro-economic development in various geographies during 2016. Economic growth in China was markedly lower compared to average growth over the last two decades. The economic growth of countries which are highly dependent on revenues from energy, raw materials and commodities remains adversely affected by the slowdown of growth in China, most strongly in emerging market countries. Low revenues from oil also affected countries in the Middle East where public spending has shown its impact on global marketsbeen dramatically reduced. Monetary interventions by the European Central Bank did not result in any increase of inflation nor in stronger economic growth in the European Union in 2016. The consensus economic outlook for Great Britain as well as for the European Union has become less favorable as a result of the Brexit vote in June 2016. Although the US economy continued to perform well during 2013. Towards2016, the endresult of 2013 the macroeconomic environment seemed to tilt towards a more positive outlook, however with substantial differences between geographical areas.

The new US administration may implement changes in, among others, US foreign policy, healthcare, trade and tax laws, the impact of which cannot be predicted. Uncertainty on the timing and the nature of Brexit may adversely affect economic growth and the business environment in the United Kingdom and the rest of the European Union. Elections in a number of key European countries during 2017, which could trigger additional exits from the European Union, may have a similar adverse impact. Economic and political uncertainty may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ financial condition or results of operations and can also make it more difficult for Philips to budget and forecast accurately. Philips may encounter difficulty in planning and managing operations due to the lack of adequate infrastructure and unfavorable political factors, including unexpected legal or regulatory changes such as foreign exchange import or export controls, increased healthcare regulation, nationalization of assets or restrictions on the repatriation of returns from foreign investments.

Given that growth geographiesin emerging market countries is correlated to US and European economic growth and that such emerging market countries are becoming increasingly important in Philips’ operations, the above-mentioned risks are also expected to grow and could have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

Philips’ overall risk profile will be changing as a result of the focus on Health Technology.

The risk profile of Philips may be unablewill change as and when Philips Lighting is sold and deconsolidated. The risk profile is expected to adapt swiftlyshift towards risks generally associated to changes in industry or market circumstances, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition and results.

Fundamental shifts in the industry, like the transition from traditional lighting to LED lighting, may drastically change the business environment. If Philips is unable to recognize these changes in good time, is late in adjusting its business models, or if circumstances arise such as pricing actions by competitors, then this could have a material adverse effect on Philips’ growth ambitions, financial condition and operating result.Health Technology companies.

Philips’ overall performance in the coming years is dependentexpected to depend on realizingthe realization of its growth ambitions in growth geographies.

Growth geographies are becoming increasingly important in the global market. In addition, Asia is an important production, sourcing and design center for Philips. Philips faces strong competition to attract the best talent in tight labor markets and intense competition from local companies as well as other global players for market share in growth geographies. Philips needs to maintain and grow its position in growth geographies, invest in data driven services, invest in local talents,talent, understand developments in end-userend- user preferences and localize the portfolio in order to stay competitive. If Philips fails to achieve this,these objectives, then this could have a material adverse effect on growth ambitions, financial condition and operating result.

The growth ambitions of Philips may be adversely affected by economic volatility inherent in growth geographies and the impact of changes in macroeconomic circumstances on growth economies.

Philips may not control joint ventures or associated companies in which it invests, which could limit the ability of Philips to identify and manage risks.

Philips has invested or willand may invest in joint ventures orand associated companies in which Philips will have anon-controlling interest. In these cases, , Philips has limited influence over, and limited or no control of, the governance, performance and cost of operations of joint ventures orand associated companies.

The joint ventures and associated companies that Philips does not control may make business, financial or investment decisions contrary to Philips’ interests or may make decisions different from those whichthat Philips itself may have made. Additionally, Philips partners or members of a joint venture or associated company may not be able to meet their financial or other obligations, which could

Lumileds and Philips Lighting are examples of companies in which Philips may continue to have a significant (residual) interest but may not have control.

Acquisitions could expose Philips to integration risks and challenge management in continuing to reduce the complexity of the company.

Philips’ acquisitions may continue to expose Philips in the future to integration risks in areas such as sales and service force integration, logistics, regulatory compliance, information technology and finance. Integration difficulties and complexity may adversely impact the

realization of an increased contribution from acquisitions. Philips may incur significant acquisition, administrative and other costs in connection with these transactions, including costs related to the integration of acquired businesses.

Furthermore, organizational simplification expected to be implemented following an acquisition and the resulting cost savings may be difficult to achieve. Acquisitions may also lead to a substantial increase in long-lived assets, including goodwill. Write-downs of these assets due to unforeseen business developments may have a material adverse effect on Philips’ earnings particularly in Healthcare and Lighting, which have significant amounts of goodwill (see alsonote 11, Goodwill)Goodwill).

Philips’ inability to secure and retainmaintain intellectual property rights for products, whilst maintaining overall competitiveness, could have a material adverse effect on its results.

Philips is dependent on its ability to obtain and retainmaintain licenses and other intellectual property (IP) rights covering its products and its design and manufacturing processes. The IP portfolio is the result of an extensive patenting process that could be influenced by a number of factors, including innovation. The value of the IP portfolio is dependent on the successful promotion and market acceptance of standards developed orco-developed by Philips. This is particularly applicable to Consumer LifestylePersonal Health where third-party licenses are important and a loss or impairment could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

6.45.4 Operational risks

Failure to delivercomply with quality standards and regulations can trigger warranty and product liability claims against Philips and can lead to financial losses and adversely impact Philips’ reputation, market share and brand.

Philips is required to comply with the highest standards of quality in the manufacture of its medical devices.

Philips hereto is subject to the supervision of various national regulatory authorities. Conditions imposed by such national regulatory authorities could result in product recalls or a temporary ban on products and/or production facilities. In addition such quality issues and/or liability claims could affect Philips’ reputation and its relationships with key customers (both customers for end products and customers that use Philips’ products in their production process). As a result, depending on the product and manufacturing site concerned and the severity of the objection, this could lead to financial losses through lost revenue and costs of any required remedial actions, and have further impacts on Philips’ reputation, market share and brand.

Philips has observed a global increase in IT security threats and higher levels of sophistication in computer crime, posing a risk to the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data and information.

The global increase in security threats and higher levels of professionalism in computer crime have increased the importance of effective IT security measures, including proper identity management processes to protect against unauthorized systems access.

Nevertheless, Philips’ systems, networks, products, solutions and services remain vulnerable to attacks, which could lead to the leakage of confidential information, improper use of its systems and networks or defective products, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results. In recent years, the risks that we and other companies face from cyber-attacks have increased significantly. The objectives of these cyber- attacks vary widely and may include, among things, disruptions of operations including provision of services to customers or theft of intellectual property or other sensitive information belonging to us or other business partners. Successful cyber-attacks may result in substantial costs and other negative consequences, which may include, but are not limited to, lost revenues, reputational damage, remediation costs, and other liabilities to customers and partners. Furthermore, enhanced protection measures can involve significant costs. Although we have experienced cyber-attacks and to date have not incurred any significant damage as a result and did not incur significant monetary cost in taking corrective action, there can be no assurance that in the transformation programs.future Philips will be as successful in avoiding damages from cyber-attacks, which could lead to financial losses. Additionally, the integration of new companies and successful outsourcing of business processes are highly dependent on secure and well controlled IT systems.

Diversity in information technology (IT) could result in ineffective or inefficient business management. IT outsourcing andoff-shoring strategies could result in complexities in service delivery and contract management.

Philips continuously seeks to create a more open, standardized and cost-effective IT landscape, including through further outsourcing,off-shoring, commoditization and ongoing reduction in the number of IT systems. These changes create risk with regard to the delivery of IT services, the availability of IT systems and the scope and nature of the functionality offered by IT systems.

Transformation programs

In 2011, Philips startedbegan a very extensive transformation program (Accelerate!) designed to unlock Philips’ full potential. In 2014, as a next phase in the Accelerate! spanstransformation program, Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand- alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting opportunities respectively. The Lighting business was separated in 2016, with Philips selling a time periodportion of several years. its ownership stake and Philips Lighting becoming listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

Failure to achieve the objectives of theany transformation programsprogram may have a material adverse effect on the midmid- term and long termlong-term financial targets.

In addition, theany transformation program ofin relation to the Finance function may expose Philips to adverse changes in the quality of its systems of internal control.

If Philips is unable to ensure effective supply chain management, e.g. facing an interruption of its supply chain, including the inability of third parties to deliver parts, components and services on time, and if it is subject to rising raw material prices, it may be unable to sustain its competitiveness in its markets.

Philips is continuing the process of creating a leaner supply base with fewer suppliers, while maintaining dual/multiple sourcing strategies where possible. This strategy very much requires close cooperation with suppliers to enhance, among other things, time to market and quality. In addition, Philips is continuing its initiatives to replace internal capabilities with less costly outsourced products and services. These processes may result in increased dependency on external suppliers and providers. Although Philips works closely with its suppliers to avoid supply-related problems, there can be no assurance that it will not encounter supply problems in the future or that it will be able to replace a supplier that is not able to meet its demand sufficiently quickly to avoid disruptions.

Shortages or delays could materially harm its business. Most of Philips’ activities are conducted outside of the Netherlands, and international operations bring challenges. For example, Philips depends partly on the production and procurement of products and parts from Asian countries, and this constitutes a risk that production and shipping of products and parts could be interrupted by regional conflicts, a natural disaster or extreme weather events resulting from climate changes. A general shortage of materials, components or subcomponents as a result of natural disasters also poses the risk of unforeseeable fluctuations in prices and demand, which could have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

Businesses purchase raw materials, includingso-called rare earth metals, copper, steel, aluminum, noble gases andoil-related products, which exposes them to fluctuations in energy and raw material prices. In recent times, commodities have been subject to volatile markets, and such volatility is expected to continue. If Philips is not able to compensate for increased costs or pass them on to customers, price increases could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ results. In contrast, in times of falling commodity prices, Philips may not fully benefit from such price decreases, since Philips attempts to reduce the risk of rising commodity prices by several means, including long-term contracting or physical and financial hedging.

Failure to achieve improvements in Philips’ solution and product creation process and/or increased speed ininnovation-to-market could hamper Philips’ profitable growth ambitions.

Further improvements in Philips’ solution and product creation process, ensuring timely delivery of new solutions and products at lower cost and upgrading ofimprovement in customer service levels to create sustainable competitive advantage,advantages, are important in realizing Philips’ profitable growth ambitions. The emergence of newlow-cost competitors, particularly in Asia, further underlines the importance of improvements in the product creation process. The success of new solution and product creation, however, depends on a number of factors, including timely and successful completion of development efforts, market acceptance, Philips’ ability to manage the risks associated with new products and productionramp-up issues, the ability of Philips to attract and retain employees with the appropriate skills, the availability of products in the right quantities and at appropriate costs to meet anticipated demand and the risk that new products and services may have quality or other defects in the early stages of introduction. Accordingly, Philips cannot determine in advance the ultimate effect that new solutions and product creations will have on its financial condition and operating results. If Philips fails to accelerate its innovation-to-market processescreate and commercialize products or fails to ensure that end-userend- user insights are fully captured and translated into solution and product creations that improve product mix and consequently contribution, it may face an erosion oflose its market share and competitiveness, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results.

Diversity in information technology (IT) could result in ineffective or inefficient business management. IT outsourcing and off-shoring strategies could result in complexities in service delivery and contract management.

Philips is engaged in a continuous drive to create a more open, standardized and consequently, more cost-effective IT landscape. This is leading to an approach involving further outsourcing, off-shoring, commoditization and ongoing reduction in the number of IT systems. This could introduce additional risk with regard to the delivery of IT services, the availability of IT systems and the scope and nature of the functionality offered by IT systems.

Due to the fact thatBecause Philips is dependent on its personnel for leadership and specialized skills, the loss of its ability to attract and retain such personnel would have an adverse effect on its business.

The attraction and retention of talented employees in sales and marketing, research and development, finance and general management, as well as of highly specialized technical personnel, especially in transferring technologies tolow-cost countries, is critical to Philips’ success. This issuccess particularly valid in times of economic recovery. The loss of specialized skills could also result in business interruptions. There can be no assurance that Philips will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining all the highly qualified employees and key personnel needed in the future.

Warranty and product liability claims against Philips could cause Philips to incur significant costs and affect Philips’ results as well as its reputation and relationships with key customers.Risk of unauthorized use of intellectual property rights

Philips could incur product liability losses as a result of repair and replacement costs in response to customer complaints or in connection with the resolution of contemplated or actual legal proceedings relating to such claims. In addition to potential losses arising from claims and related legal proceedings, product liability claims could affect Philips’ reputation and its relationships with key customers (both customers for end products and customers that use Philips’ products in their production process). As a result, product liability claims could materially impact Philips’ financial condition and operating results.fine.

Any damage to Philips’ reputation could have an adverse effect on its businesses.businesses and brand.

Philips is exposed to developments which could affect its reputation. Such developments could be of an environmental or social nature, or connected to the behavior of individual employees or suppliers, andor could relate to adherence to regulations related to labor, health and safety, environmental and chemical management. Reputational damage could materially impact Philips’ brand value, financial condition and operating results.

6.55.5 Compliance risks

Philips is exposed tonon-compliance with product safety laws and data privacy.

Philips’ brand image and reputation would be adversely impacted bynon-compliance with various product safety laws and data protection. In light of Philips’ digital strategy, data privacy laws are increasingly important. Also, Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics are subject to various (patient) data protection and safety laws. In Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics, privacy and product safety and security issues may arise, especially with respect to remote access or monitoring of patient data or loss of data on our customers’ systems. Philips is exposed to the risk that its products, including components or materials procured from suppliers, may prove to be not compliant with safety laws, e.g. chemical safety regulations. Suchnon-compliance could result in a ban on the sale or use of these products.

Philips operates in a highly regulated product safety and quality environment. Philips’ products are subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the FDA (US) and comparable foreign agencies. Obtaining their approval is costly and time consuming, but a prerequisite for introducing products in the market. A delay or inability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for new products could have a material adverse effect on business. The risk exists that product safety incidents or user concerns could trigger FDA business reviews which, if failed, could lead to business interruption which in turn could adversely affect Philips’ financial condition and operating results. For example the voluntary suspension in 2014 of new production at our Healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio targeted to further strengthen manufacturing process controls after certain issues in this area were identified during an ongoing FDA inspection.

Philips’ global presence exposes the company to regional and local regulatory rules, changes to which may affect the realization of business opportunities and investments in the countries in which Philips operates.

Philips has established subsidiaries in over 80 countries. These subsidiaries are exposed to changes in governmental regulations and unfavorable political developments, which may affect the realization of business opportunities or impair Philips’ local investments. Philips’ increased focus on the healthcare sector increases its exposure to highly regulated markets, where obtaining clearances or approvals for new products is of great importance, and where there is a dependency on the available funding for healthcare systems. In addition, changes in government reimbursement policies may affect spending on healthcare.

Philips is exposed to governmental investigations and legal proceedings with regard to possible anti- competitive market practices.

National and European authorities are increasingly focused on possible anti-competitive market practices. Philips’ financial position and results could be materially affected by an adverse final outcome of governmental investigations and litigation, as well as any potential related claims.

Legal proceedings covering a range of matters are pending in various jurisdictions against Philips and its current and former group companies. Due to the uncertainty inherent in legal proceedings, it is difficult to predict the final outcome.

Philips, including a certain number of its current and former group companies, is involved in legal proceedings relating to such matters as competition issues, commercial transactions, product liability, participations and environmental pollution. Since the ultimate outcome of asserted claims and proceedings, or the impact of any claims that may be asserted in the future, cannot be predicted with certainty, Philips’ financial position and results of operations could be affected materially by adverse outcomes.

Please refer tonote 26,25, Contingent assets and liabilities, for additional disclosure relating to specific legal proceedings.

Philips is exposed to governmental investigationsnon-compliance with business conduct rules and legal proceedings with regard to possible anti-competitive market practices.regulations.

Philips is facing increased scrutiny by national and European authorities of possible anti-competitive market practices. For example, Philips is one of the companies that were inspected by officials of the European Commission in December 2013. The European Commission is looking into potential restrictions on online sales of consumer electronic products and small domestic appliances. Philips is fully cooperating with the European Commission. Philips’ financial position and results could be materially affected by an adverse final outcome of governmental investigations and litigation, as well as any potential related claims.

Philips is exposed to non-compliance with General Business Principles.

Philips’ attempts to realize its growth ambitions could expose it to the risk ofnon-compliance with the Philips General Business Principles,business conduct rules and regulations, such as anti-bribery provisions. This risk is heightened in growth geographies as the legal and regulatory environment is less developed in growth geographies compared to mature geographies. Examples include commission payments to third parties, remuneration payments to

Defective internal controls would adversely affect our financial reporting and management process.

The reliability of reporting is important in ensuring that management decisions for steering the businesses and managing bothtop-line and bottom-line growth are based on top-qualityreliable data. Flaws in internal control systems could adversely affect the financial position and results and hamper expected growth.

The correctness ofAccurate disclosures providesprovide investors and other market professionals with significant information for a better understanding of Philips’ businesses.

Imperfections or lack of clarity in the disclosures could create market uncertainty regarding the reliability of the data presented and could have a negative impact on the Philips share price.

The reliability of revenue and expenditure data is key for steering the business and for managingtop-line and bottom-line growth. The long lifecycle of healthcare sales, from order acceptance to accepted installation, together with the complexity of the accounting rules for when revenue can be recognized in the accounts, presents a challenge in terms of ensuring there is consistency of application of the accounting rules throughout Philips Healthcare’sPhilips’ global business.

Philips is exposed to a variety of treasury risks and other financial risks including liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk, credit risk, country risk and other insurable risk.

Negative developments impacting the liquidity of global liquiditycapital markets could affect the ability of Philips to raise orre-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 or downgrades by the rating agencies or if such a downgrade has actually taken place, itthis could increase the cost of borrowing, reduce our potential investor base and adversely affect our business.

Philips isoperates in over 100 countries and its earnings and equity are therefore inevitably exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates especially betweenof foreign currencies against the euro. Philips’ sales are sensitive in particular to movements in the US dollar, Japanese yen and the euro. A high percentage of its business volume is conducted in the US but based on exports from Europe, whilst, a considerable amount of US dollar—denominated imports is also sold in Europe. A weakening of the US dollar versus the euro would have an adverse effect on reported earnings of the company. In addition, Philips is exposed to the fluctuation in exchange rateswide range of other currencies from developed and emerging markets. Philips’ sourcing and manufacturing spend is concentrated in the Eurozone, United States and China. Income from operations is sensitive to movements in currencies from countries where the Group has no manufacturing/sourcing activities or only has manufacturing/sourcing activities on a small scale such as the Japanese yenJapan, Canada, Australia and currenciesGreat Britain and in a range of growth geographiesemerging markets such as China,Russia, Korea, Indonesia, India and Brazil.

The credit risk of financial andnon-financial counterparties with outstanding payment obligations creates exposures for Philips, particularly in relation to accounts receivable with customers and liquid assets and fair values of derivatives and insurance receivables contracts with financial counterparties. A default by counterparties in such transactions can have a material adverse effect on Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

Philips’ supply chain is exposed to fluctuations in energy and raw material prices. Commodities such as oil are subject to volatile markets and significant price increases from time to time. If Philips is not able to compensate for, or pass on in good time, its increased costs to customers, such price increases could have an adverse impact on its financial condition and operating results.

Philips is exposed to interest rate risk, particularly in relation to its long-term debt position; this risk can take the form of either fair value or cash flow risk. Failure to effectively hedge this risk can impact Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

On January 22, 2016, Philips announced the termination of its agreement with GO Scale Capital to sell a stake of 80.1% in Lumileds due to the inability to mitigate regulatory concerns in the US. Philips subsequently engaged with other parties and on December 12, 2016, Philips announced that it had signed an agreement to sell an 80.1% interest in Lumileds to certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC. Subject to regulatory approvals and completion of other closing obligations Philips expects to receive cash proceeds, before tax and transaction-related costs, of approximately USD 1.5 billion and participating preferred equity. As part of the agreement, Philips will retain a 19.9% interest in the equity of Lumileds by means of common shares for a minimum period of three years following completion of the transaction, subject to the customary drag-along andtag-along conditions or an IPO. There are no voting rights associated with the participating preferred equity held by Philips.

Philips is exposed to a number of reporting risks.

A risk rating is assigned for each risk identified, based on the likelihood of occurrence and the potential impact of the risk on the financial statements and related disclosures. In determining the probability that a risk will result in a misstatement of a more than inconsequential amount or of a material nature, the following factors are considered to be critical: complexity of the associated accounting activity or transaction process, history of accounting and reporting errors, likelihood of significant (contingent) liabilities arising from activities, exposure to losses, existence of a related party transaction, volume of activity and homogeneity of the individual transactions processed, and changes toin accounting characteristics in the prior period in accounting characteristics compared to the previous period.period before that.

Long-term strategic partnerships, covering the strategyinternal governance, risk dynamics and profitability of Consumer Lifestyle; the operationslong-term strategic partnerships; and

Strategic priorities of the Lighting SectorPhilips in North Americahealth technology, including definitive diagnosis and reviews of the company’s activities in Latin America.guided therapy.

The Supervisory Board also conducted a number of reviews of the company’s operations in markets, including in China, Middle-East and Turkey, and Africa. Moreover, the North American Market (including the activities of the Sectors and key functions in that geography) was discussed by the Supervisory Board and we provided feedback on the new brand identity, which was launched in November 2013.

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

Supervisory Board meetings and attendance

In 2013,2016, the Supervisory Board convened for seveneight regular meetings and two extraordinary meetings. Moreover, we collectively and individually interacted with members of the Executive Committee and with senior management outside the formal Supervisory Board meetings. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the CEO met regularly for bilateral discussions about the progress of the companyCompany on a variety of matters. The Supervisory Board also held bilateral meetings with several members of the Executive Committee to discuss a variety of topics.

sufficient time to engage (proactively if the circumstances so required) in our supervisory responsibilities.

Composition, diversity and self-evaluation by the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board is a separate corporate body that is independent of the Board of Management (and the Executive Committee). Its independence is also reflected in the requirement that membersa member of the Supervisory Board can neithercannot be a member of the Board of Management, a member of the Executive Committee noror an employee of Philips. The Supervisory Board furthermore considers all its members to be independent pursuant to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. We will continue to pay close attention to applicable independence criteria.

The Supervisory Board currently consists of eightseven members.

In 2016, there were a number of changes to the membership of the Board. The term of appointment of Ewald Kist expired at the end of the Annual General Meeting held on 12 May 2016, after he had served three consecutive terms on the Board. We are grateful to Ewald for his years of service, which included him being Chairman of the Audit Committee, and for his dedication and the wisdom that he brought to the Supervisory Board’s discussions and decisions. As of 31 May 2016, Kees van Lede resigned from the Supervisory Board of Philips to become a Supervisory Board member of Philips Lighting. Kees joined our Board in 2003 and served as member of the Audit Committee and as Chairman to the Remuneration Committee and the Separation Committee. We would like to thank Kees for his valuable contributions as a member of the Supervisory Board.

In 2016, Neelam Dhawan was reappointed as a member of the Supervisory Board.

The agenda for the upcoming 20142017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders includes the proposalwill include proposals to appoint Ms. Orit Gadieshreappoint Jeroen van der Veer and Christine Poon as an additional member tomembers of the Supervisory Board, bringing the total to nine members.each for an additional term of four years.

The profile of the Supervisory Board aims for an appropriate combination of knowledge and experience among its members, encompassing marketing, manufacturing, technology, financial, economic, social, quality & regulatory and legal aspects of international business, government and public administration in relation to the global and multi-productmulti- product character of Philips’ businesses. The Supervisory Board paysattaches great value to diversity in its composition. More particularspecifically, it aims for havingto have members with anboth European and a non- European backgroundnon-European backgrounds (nationality, working experience or otherwise) and one or more members withwho have held an executive or similar position in business or society no longer than five years ago.society.

In addition, we support the Philips’ policy to appoint a well-balanced mix of women and men to its Board of Management, Executive Committee and Supervisory Board. New Dutch legislation, effective per January 1, 2013, requires companies to pursue aBoard, including the policy of having at least 30% of the seats on the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board held by women and at least 30% of the seats held by men.

We believe we are making good progress in implementing this policy. The appointment of Orit Gadiesh, as currently proposed to the General Meeting of Shareholders, will bring Currently, the Supervisory Board’s gender diversity is within the statutorythese criteria. There were no other vacancies to fulfil in 2013. In addition, weWe note that there may be various other pragmatic reasons – such as the other relevant selection criteria and the availability of suitable candidates within Philips – that could play a complicating role in fully achieving the gender targets in the short term.achievement of our diversity targets.

In 2013,2016, the members of the Supervisory Board again each completed a questionnaire to verify compliance in 2013 with the applicable corporate governance rules and its own Rules of Procedure. The outcome of this survey was satisfactory.

In addition, we each submitted to the Chairman responses to a questionnaire designed to self-evaluate the functioning of the Supervisory Board. TheAs in previous years, the questionnaire covered topics such as the composition and competence of the Supervisory Board (for example, the Board’s size and the education and training requirements of its members), access to information, the frequency and quality of the meetings, quality and timeliness of the meeting materials, the nature of the topics discussed during meetings and the functioning of the Supervisory Board’s committees.

The responses to the questionnaire were aggregated into a report, which was discussed by the Supervisory Board in a private meeting. Certain areas were identified that could be improved and it was decided that the Chairman would follow-upfollow up with individual members to address specific issues. Summarizing,This resulted in a number of suggestions to improve the quality of the discussion in Board meetings, which will be implemented in 2017. Members of the Supervisory Board had a“one-to-one” discussion with the Chairman, and the Chairman was evaluated by the Vice-Chairman. The responses provided by the Supervisory Board members indicated that the Board iscontinues to be a well-functioning team and we believe a diversity of experience and skills is presentedrepresented on the Board. The Board has spent time throughout 2016 considering its composition and it will continue to devote attention to this topic during 2017. The functioning of the Supervisory Board committees was considered to be commendable (or better) and specific feedback will bewas addressed by the chairmanChairman of each committee with its members. The evaluation lead to certain practical steps to improve the accessibility of the large quantity of materials provided to Supervisory Board members.

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to the members of the Executive Committee and all other employees for their continued contribution during the year. In particular, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Eric Coutinho, our Chief Legal Officer and General Secretary, who will retire in 2014. We wish him all the best for the future.

The Supervisory Board determines whether performance conditions have been met and can adjust the pay-outpayout of the annual cash incentive and the long-term incentive grant upward or downward if the predetermined performance criteria were to produce an inappropriate result in extraordinary circumstances. The authority for such adjustments exists on the basis of contractual ultimum remedium-ultimum-remedium and claw backclaw-back clauses. In addition, pursuant to new Dutch legislation effective January 1, 2014, incentives may, under certain circumstances, be amended or

9.2.78.2.7 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In 2013 a newGrants made to Board of Management under the 2016 LTI Plan has been introduced. The new plan consistsconsist of performance shares only.

Grant size

The annual grant size is set by reference to a multiple of base salary.compensation. For the CEO the annual grant size in 2016 is set at 120% of base salarycompensation and for the other members of the Board of Management at 100% of base salary. This is at a mid-market level against leading European listed companies.compensation. The actual number of performance shares to be awarded is determined by reference to the average of the closing price of the Philips share on the day of publication of the first quarterly results and the four subsequent dealing days.

Vesting schedule

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 equivalentdividend-equivalent shares will only be delivered to the extent that the award actually vests.

Performance conditions

Vesting of the performance shares is based on two equally weighted performance conditions:

 

50% Adjusted Earnings per Share growth (“EPS”) and

 

50% Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

EPS

EPS growth is calculated by applying the simplepoint-to-point method at year end. Earnings are the income from continued operations attributable to shareholders, as reported in the Annual Report.

TSR

TheMedtronic acquired Covidien on January 26, 2015 and following this Covidien was excluded from the 2016 peer group. As a result, the TSR peer group for the new plan2016 LTI Plan consists of the following 2120 companies:

A ranking approach to TSR applies with Philips itself excluded from the peer group to permit interpolation.

Following Johnson Controls merger with Tyco International in September 2016, the Supervisory Board adopted the approach of recognizing Johnson Controls performance through the merger date and as a proxy for future performance assumed reinvestment in an index of the remaining 19 peer companies.

The3-year performance period of the 2014 performance share grant ended on December 31, 2016. The payout results are explained below.

TSR (50% weighting)

On January 26, 2015, Medtronic completed the acquisition of Covidien. To address the delisting of Covidien the Supervisory Board adopted the approach of recognizing Covidien’s performance through the delisting date and as a proxy for future performance, assumed reinvestment in an index of the remaining 20 peer companies, therefore, effectively a peer group of 21 companies.

The TSR achieved by Philips during the performance period was 18.66% This positioned Philips between the 10th and 11th ranked company in the peer group shown in the table below, resulting in an achievement of 105.8%.

EPS is based on the underlying income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, as included in the Annual Report, adjusted for changes in accounting principles. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has also deemed it appropriate to make adjustments relating to certain other items that were not contemplated when the targets were set in 2014. These relate to the profit and loss impact of acquisitions and discontinued operations, impairments and restructuring costs, bond redemption fees, and impact of foreign exchange variations versus plan.

The Company’s risk management approach is embedded in the periodic business planning and review cycle and forms an integral part of business management. On the basis of risk assessments, management determines the risks and appropriate risk responses related to the achievement of business objectives and critical business processes. Risk factors and the risk management approach, as well as the sensitivity of the Company’s results to external factors and variables, are described in more detail in [Risk management].chapter 5, Risk management, of this report. Significant changes and improvements in the Company’s risk management and internal control system have been discussed with the Supervisory Board’s Audit Committee and the external auditor and are disclosed in that section as well.

Internal representations received from management, regular management reviews, reviews of the design and effectiveness of internal controls and reviews in corporateGroup and divisional auditBusiness Group, Market and Function Audit & Risk committees are integral parts of the Company’s risk management approach. On the basis thereof, the Board of Management confirms that internal controls over financial reporting provide a reasonable level of assurance that the financial reporting does not contain any material inaccuracies, and confirms that these controls have properly functioned in 2013.2016. The financial statements fairly represent the financial condition and result of operations of the Company and provide the required disclosures.

The main powers of the General Meeting of Shareholders are to appoint, suspend and dismiss members of the Board of Management and of the Supervisory Board, to adopt the annual accounts, declare dividends and to discharge the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board from responsibility for the performance of their respective duties for the previous financial year, to appoint the external auditor as required by Dutch law, 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 excludepre-emptive rights of shareholders and to repurchase or cancel outstanding shares. Following common corporate practice in the Netherlands, the Company each year requests limited authorization to issue (rights to) shares, to restrict or excludepre-emptive rights and to repurchase shares. In compliance with Dutch law, decisions of the Board of Management that are sofar-reaching that they would greatly change the identity or nature of the Company or the business require the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders. This includes resolutions toto: (a) transfer the business of the Company, or almost the entire business of the Company, to a third partythird-party (b) enter into or discontinue long-term cooperation by the Company or a subsidiary with another legal entity or company or as a fully liable partner in a limited partnership or ordinary partnership, if this cooperation or its discontinuation is of material significance to the Company or (c) acquire or dispose of a participating interest in the capital of a company to the value of at leastone-third of the amount of the assets according to the balance sheet and notes thereto or, if the Company prepares a consolidated balance sheet, according to the consolidated balance sheet and notes thereto as published in the last adopted annual accounts of the Company, by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. Thus the Company applies principle IV.1 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code within the framework of the Articles of Association and Dutch law and in the manner as described in this corporate governance report.

The Board of Management and Supervisory Board are also accountable, at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, for the policy on the additions to reserves and dividends (the level and purpose of the additions to reserves, the amount of the dividend and the type of dividend).

A resolution to pay a dividend is dealt with as a separate agenda item at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board are required to provide the General Meeting of Shareholders with all requested information, unless this would be prejudicial to an overriding interest of the Company. If the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board invoke an overriding interest in refusing to provide information, reasons must be given. If a serious private bid is made for a business unit or a participating interest and the value of the bid exceeds a certain threshold (currentlyone-third of the amount of the assets according to the balance sheet and notes thereto or, if the Company prepares a consolidated balance sheet, according to the consolidated balance sheet and notes thereto as published in the last adopted annual accounts of the Company), and such bid is made public, the Board of Management shall, at its earliest convenience, make public its position on the bid and the reasons for this position.

Preference shares and the Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips

As a means to protect the Company and its stakeholders against an unsolicited attempt to obtain (de facto) control of the Company, the General Meeting of Shareholders in 1989 adopted amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association that allow the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board to issue (rights to) preference shares to a third party.third-party. As a result, the Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips (the ‘Foundation’)Foundation) was created, which was granted the right to acquire preference shares in the Company. The mere notification that the Foundation wishes to exercise its rights, should a third partythird-party ever seem likely in the judgment of the Foundation to obtain (de facto) control of the Company, will result in the preference shares

Corporate governance 9.4

being effectively issued. The Foundation may exercise this right for as many preference shares as there are ordinary shares in the Company outstanding at that time. No preference shares have been issued as of December 31, 2013.2016. In addition, the Foundation has the right to file a petition with the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to commence an inquiry procedure within the meaning of section 2:344 Dutch Civil Code.

The object of the Foundation is to represent the interests of the Company, the enterprises maintained by the Company and its affiliated companies within the Group, in such a way that the interests of Philips, those 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. In the event of (an attempt at) a hostile takeover or other attempt to obtain (de facto) control of the Company this arrangement will allow the Company and its Board of Management and Supervisory Board to determine its position in relation to the third partythird-party and its plans, seek alternatives and defend Philips’ interests and those of its stakeholders from a position of strength. The members of the self-electing Board of the Foundation are Messrs S.D. de Bree, F.J.G.M. Cremers andP.A.F.W. Elverding, M.W. den Boogert.Boogert and F.J.G.M. Cremers. No Philips board members or officers are represented on the board of the Foundation.

The Company does not have any other anti-takeover measures in the sense of other measures which exclusively or almost exclusively have the purpose of frustrating future public bids for the shares in the capital of the Company in case no agreement is reached with the Board of Management on such public bid.

Furthermore, the Company does not have measures which specifically have the purpose of preventing a bidder who has acquired 75% of the shares in the capital of the Company from appointing or dismissing members of the Board of Management and subsequently amending the Articles of Association of the Company. It should be noted that also in the event of (an attempt at) a hostile takeover or other attempt to obtain (de facto) control of the Company, the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board are authorized to exercise in the interests of Philips all powers vested in them.

General

The corporate governance rules introduced by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) allow foreign private issuers, like the Company, to follow home country practices on most corporate governance matters instead of those that apply to US domestic issuers, provided that they disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those applying to listed domestic US companies under the NYSE listing standards. A summary of significant differences between certain Dutch practices on corporate governance matters and the corporate governance provisions applicable to US companies under the NYSE listing standards appears below.

Dutch corporate governance provisions

The Company is a company organized under Dutch law, with its Common Shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam, and is subject to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code of December 10, 2008 (the ‘Dutch Corporate Governance Code’). Philip’s New York Registry Shares, representing Common Shares of the Company, are listed on the NYSE.

Board structure

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

Independence of members of our Supervisory Board

Under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code all members of the Supervisory Board with the exception of not more than one person, must be independent. The present members of our Supervisory Board are all independent within the meaning of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The definitions of independence under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, however, differ in their details from the definitions of independence under the NYSE listing standards. In some cases the Dutch requirements are stricter than the NYSE listing standards and in other cases the NYSE listing standards are the stricter of the two.

Committees of our Supervisory Board

The Company has established an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee, consisting of members of the Supervisory Board only. The roles, responsibilities and composition of these committees reflect the requirements of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company’s Articles of Association and Dutch law, which differ from the NYSE listing standards in these respects. In 2015, the Supervisory Board additionally established the Separation Committee and Quality & Regulatory Committee. The role of each committee is to advise the Supervisory Board and to prepare the decision-making of the Supervisory Board. In principle, the entire Supervisory Board remains responsible for its decisions even if they were prepared by one of the Supervisory Board’s committees.

The NYSE requires that, when an audit committee member of a U.S.US domestic listed company serves on four or more audit committees of public companies, the listed company should disclose (either on its website or in its annual reportAnnual Report on Form10-K) that the board of directors has determined that this simultaneous service would not impair the director’s service to the listed company. Dutch law does not require the Company to make such a determination.

From June 2014 to October 2015, KPMG Accountants N.V. (KPMG), who were the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during this period, had a Chief Executive Officer who was the Chief Financial Officer of Philips in the period1997-2005. The former KPMG CEO receives a monthly pension payment, which is immaterial to his net worth, from the Philips Pension Fund. The Philips Pension Fund is a separate and financially independent entity with an independent Board of Trustees who are legally responsible for safeguarding the retirement benefits of the participants of the Philips Pension Fund. Royal Philips is not liable for any financial deficits of the Philips Pension Fund and Royal Philips has no discretion over the level and payments of benefits to participants. The Philips Pension Fund is considered an affiliate of Philips under SEC independence rules, which were applicable to the KPMG audit of Philips during this period, and accordingly, the financial relationship violated the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations. KPMG is not the independent auditor of the Philips Pension Fund. KPMG put in place a process whereby the KPMG CEO was not in the chain of command with respect to the Philips’ audit or the ratings or compensation of partners who worked on the Philips’ audit. KPMG advised Philips’ management and its audit committee that this situation, considering the actions taken by the firm, did not impact the firm’s ability to apply objective and impartial judgment on all matters encompassed within their annual audits of Philips. Philips’ audit committee concured that this financial relationship did not impact the firm’s ability to apply objective and impartial judgment on all matters encompassed within the annual audits of Philips.

11.110.1 Management’s report on internal control

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

The Board of Management of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule13a-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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the “Internal“Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992)(2013)established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, the Board of Management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013,2016, the Company’s internal control over Group financial reporting is considered effective.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013,2016, as included in this section Group financial statements, has been audited by KPMGErnst & Young Accountants N.V.,LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which follows hereafter.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited Koninklijke Philips N.V. and subsidiaries’’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013,2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)(2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s Board of Managementmanagement 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 accompanyingsection 11.1, “Management’s10.1, Management’s report on internal control”control, of this Form 20-F.Annual Report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’scompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also includedrisk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

In our opinion, Koninklijke Philips N.V. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013,2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheetssheet of Koninklijke Philips N.V. as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended, and our report dated February 21, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Koninklijke Philips N.V. as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s management.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Koninklijke Philips N.V. at December 31, 2016 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

As described in Note 1 “Significant accounting policies — Changes in presentation from the prior year”, Koninklijke Philips N.V. changed the composition of its reportable segments in 2016, and the amounts in the 2015 and 2014 financial statements have been restated to conform to the 2016 composition of reportable segments. We audited the adjustments that were applied to restate the disclosures for reportable segments reflected in the 2015 and 2014 financial statements. We also audited the adjustment described in Note 1, Significant accounting policies — Changes in presentation from the prior year”, that were applied to restate the 2015 consolidated balance sheet to retrospectively apply the change in presentation of all net defined-benefit post-employment plan obligations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V. other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 21, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements of the Philips Group

LOGOLOGO Significant accounting policies

The Consolidated financial statements in thisthe Group financial statements section have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and with the statutory provisions of Part 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective year-end 20132016 have been endorsed by the EU, except that the EU did not adopt some of the paragraphs of IAS 39 applicable to certain hedge transactions. Koninklijke Philips N.V. (hereafter: the ‘Company’ or ‘Philips’) has no hedge transactions to which these paragraphs are applicable. Consequently, the accounting policies applied by Philips also comply fully with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting policies have been applied by group entities.

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

The Consolidated financial statements are presented in euros,euro, which is the Company’s presentation currency.

On February 25, 2014,21, 2017, the Board of Management authorized the Consolidated financial statements for issue. The Consolidated financial statements as presented in this report are subject to the adoption by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 1, 2014.11, 2017.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates inherently contain certaina degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

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

Estimates significantly impactThe areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made are goodwill, and other intangibles acquired,deferred tax on activities disposed,asset recoverability, impairments, financial instruments, the accounting for an arrangement containing a lease, revenue recognition (multiple element arrangements), assets and liabilities from employee benefit plans, other provisions and tax risks and other contingencies, classification of assets and liabilities held for sale and the presentation of items of profit and loss and cash flows as continued or discontinued. Thediscontinued, as well as when determining the fair values of acquired identifiable intangible assets are based on an assessment of future cash flows. Impairment analysesFor further discussion on these significant judgements and estimates, reference is made to the respective notes within these consolidated financial statements that relate to the above topics.

Further judgment is applied when analyzing impairments of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use and indefinite-lived intangible assetsthat are performed annually and whenever a triggering event has occurred to determine whether the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. These analyses generally are based on estimates of future cash flows.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Furthermore, the Company uses itsapplies judgment to select from a variety of common valuation methods including the discounted cash flow method and option valuation models and to make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

Actuarialwhen actuarial assumptions are established to anticipate future events andthat are used in calculating post-employment benefit expenses and liabilities. These factors include assumptions with respect to interest rates, rates of increase in health carehealthcare costs, rates of future compensation increases, turnover rates and life expectancy.

Prior-year informationChanges in presentation from the prior year

The accounting policies set out in this section have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except for the presentation of certain prior-year information hasthe items mentioned below. Prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, includingpresentation.

Reclassification of net defined-benefit obligations

To enhance transparency, the 2011 presentation of adjustments to the results of prior year’s divestments reported as discontinued operations as a consequence of the resolution of uncertainties that arose from the relevant sales agreements. As a result, an income tax benefit of EUR 30 million was retrospectively reclassifiedCompany presents all net defined-benefit post-employment plan obligations under Long-term provisions in the 2011 comparative figuresbalance sheet as from income tax expense of continuing operationsthis year. Up to income tax from discontinued operations.

Basis of consolidation

The Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (‘the Company’) and all subsidiaries that the Company controls, i.e. when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The existence and effect of potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. 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.

Business combinations

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

For acquisitions on or after January 1, 2010, the Company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; plus

if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

2015, the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss (hereafter referred to as the Statement of income).

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in the Statement of income.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and initially isdefined-benefit post- employment plan obligations were presented as Long-term provisions. When timing and amount of the consideration become more certain, it is reclassified to Accrued liabilities. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of income.

Acquisitions between January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2010

For acquisitions between January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2010, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Company’s interest in the recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurred in connection with business combinations were capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition.under

Consequential changes were processed in their capacity as ownersnote 21, Accrued liabilities and therefore no goodwill is recognized. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.

For changes to non-controlling interest without the loss of control, the difference between such changenote 22, Other liabilities. Corresponding retrospective reclassifications were processed and any consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

Loss of control

Upon the 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 on the loss of control is recognized in the Statement of income. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date the control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

Investments in associates (equity-accounted investees)

Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not 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 group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.

The Company’s share of the net income of these companies is included in results relating to associates in the Statement of income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term loans) is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Remeasurement differences of equity stake resulting from gaining control over the investee previously recorded as associate are recorded under Results related to investments in associates.

Investments in associates include loans from the Company to these investees.

Accounting for capital transactions of a consolidated subsidiary or an associate

The Company recognizes dilution gains or losses arising from the sale or issuance of stock by a consolidated subsidiary or an associate in the Statement of income, unless the Company or the subsidiary either has reacquired or plans to reacquire such shares. In such instances, the result of the transaction is recorded directly in equity.

Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognizedexplained in the Consolidated statements of income under Results relating to investmentscash flows. Information on net defined-benefit obligation can be found in associates.

Accordingly, from 2016 the operational reportable segments for the purpose of the primary economic environmentdisclosures required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments are Personal Health businesses, Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses and Lighting, each being responsible for the management of its business worldwide.

Specific choices within IFRS

Sometimes IFRS allows alternative accounting treatments for measurement and/or disclosure. Philips has adopted one of the treatments as appropriate to the circumstances of the Company. Foreign currency transactionsThe most important of these alternative treatments are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gainsmentioned below.

Tangible and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetaryintangible fixed assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Statement of income, except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Foreign currency differences arising from translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for available-for-sale equity investments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognized in Other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit and loss), which are recognized in Other comprehensive income.

All exchange difference items are presented as part of Cost of sales, with the exception of tax items and financial income and expense, which are recognized in the same line item as they relate in the Statement 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 date of transaction.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to euro at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation of foreign operations into the Group’s presentation currency are recognized in Other comprehensive income, and presented as part of Currency translation differences in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the 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 translation reserve related to the foreign operation is reclassified to the Statement 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 relevant 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 Statement of income.

Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value whenUnder IFRS, an entity shall choose either the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial instruments are accounted for at the trade date. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Gains or losses, if any, are recorded in Financial income and expense.

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other non-current financial assets and debt and other financial liabilities that are not designated as hedges.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

Receivables

Receivables are carried at the lower of amortized cost model or the present value of estimated future cash flows, taking into account discounts given or agreed. The present value of estimated future cash flows is determined through the use of value adjustmentsrevaluation model as its accounting for uncollectible amounts. As soon as individual trade accounts receivable can no longer be collected in the normal waytangible and are expected to result in a loss, they are designated as doubtful trade accounts receivable and valued at the expected collectible amounts. They are written off when they are deemed to be uncollectible because of bankruptcy or other forms of receivership of the debtors. The allowance for the risk of non-collection of trade accounts receivable takes into account credit-risk concentration, collective debt risk based on average historical losses, and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic conditions in a specific country or region.

164      Annual Report 2013


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

In the event of sale of receivables and factoring, the Company derecognizes receivables when the Company has given up control or continuing involvement, which is deemed to have occurred when:

the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the receivables or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without any material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and

either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of the ownership of the receivables, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards, but has transferred control of the assets.

However, in case the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables nor transfers control of the receivables, the receivable is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in theintangible fixed assets. In this case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred receivable and associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Other non-current financial assets

Other non-current financial assets include held-to-maturity investments, loans and available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Held-to-maturity investments are those debt securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity debt investments are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts using the effective interest method.

Loans receivable are stated at amortized cost, less impairment.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available for sale-debt instruments are recognized in Other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to the Statement of income.

Available-for-sale financial assets including investments in privately-held companies that are not associates, and do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value could not be reliably determined, are carried at cost.

A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated as fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company-documented risk management or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in the Statement of income as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

Equity

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Where the Company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared. The income tax consequences of dividends are recognized when a liability to pay the dividend is recognized.

Debt and other liabilities

Debt and liabilities other than provisions are stated at amortized cost. However, loans that are hedged under a fair value hedge are remeasured for the changes in the fair value that are attributable to the risk that is being hedged.

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, for managing interest rate and commodity price risks. All derivative financial instruments are classified as current assets or liabilities and are accounted for at the trade date. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related. The Company measures all derivative financial instruments at fair value derived from market prices of the instruments, or calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread, credit spreads and foreign exchange rates, or from option pricing models, as appropriate. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the Statement 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 derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the Statement of income, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. For interest rate swaps designated as a fair value hedge of an interest bearing asset or liability that are unwound, the amount of the fair value adjustment to the asset or liability for the risk being hedged is released to the Statement of income over the remaining life of the asset or liability based on the recalculated effective yield.

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, until the Statement of income is 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 Statement of income.

The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is established that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is expected that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company continues to carry the derivative on the Balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in equity are recognized immediately in the Statement of income. If there is a delay and it is expected that the transaction will still occur, the amount in equity remains there until the forecasted transaction affects income. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the Balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in the Statement of income.

Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of financial instruments designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly as a separate component of equity through Other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the Statement of income.

Offsetting and master netting agreements

The Company presents financial assets and financial liabilities on a gross basis as separate linerespect, items in the Consolidated balance sheet.

Master netting agreements may be entered into when the Company undertakes a number of financial instrument transactions with a single counterparty. Such an agreement provides for a net settlement of all financial instruments covered by the agreement in the event of default or certain termination events on any of the transactions. A master netting agreement may create a right of offset that becomes enforceable and affects the realization or settlement of individual financial assets and financial liabilities only following a specified termination event. However, if this contractual right is subject to certain limitations then it does not necessarily provide a basis for offsetting unless both of the offsetting criteria are met, i.e. there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously.

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives and residual values are evaluated annually.

Annual Report 2013      165


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

Assets manufactured by Furthermore, the Company include direct manufacturing costs, production overheads and interest charges incurred for qualifying assets during the construction period. Government grants are deducted fromchose to apply the cost of the related asset. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. Depreciation of special tooling is generally also based on the straight-line method. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in Other business income. Costs relatedmodel meaning that costs relating to repair and maintenance activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred unless leading to an extension of the original lifetime or capacity.

Plant and equipment under finance leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. The gain realized on sale and operating leaseback transactions that are concluded based upon market conditions is recognized at the time of the sale.

The Company capitalizes interest as part of the cost of assets that take a substantial period of time to become ready for use, which is defined by the Company as a period of more than 6 months.

Goodwill

Measurement of goodwill at initial recognition is described under ‘Basis of consolidation’. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of investment in associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of investment, and an impairment loss on such investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of investment in associates.

Intangible assets other than goodwill

Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. The useful lives are evaluated annually. Patents and trademarks with a finite useful life acquired from third parties either separately or as part of the business combination are capitalized at cost and amortized over their remaining useful lives. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition-date fair value.

The Company expenses all research costs as incurred. Expenditure onproduct 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 and the Company has sufficient resources and the intention to complete development.

The development expenditure capitalized 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 Statement of income. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization of capitalized development expenditure is charged to the Statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

Costs relating to the development and purchase of software for both internal use and software intended to be soldother intangible assets are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the estimated useful life. Further information on Tangible and Intangible fixed assets can be found innote 10, Property, plant and equipmentand note 12, Intangible assets excluding goodwill respectively.

Leased assetsEmployee benefit accounting

Leases in which the Company is the lesseeIFRS does not specify how an entity should present its service costs related to pensions and has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the Statement of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate ofnet interest on the remaining balance of thenet defined-benefit liability for each period. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and other non-current liabilities. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets and the lease term.

Leases in which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in the Statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include direct labor and fixed and variable production overheads, taking into account the stage of completion and the normal capacity of production facilities. Costs of idle facility and abnormal waste are expensed. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Provisions

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

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighing of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental obligations when such losses are probable and can be estimated reliably. Measurement of liabilities is based on current legal and constructive requirements. Liabilities and expected insurance recoveries, if any, are recorded separately. The carrying amount of liabilities is regularly reviewed and adjusted for new facts and changes in law.

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

The Company provides for onerous contracts, based on the lower of the expected cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected net cost of terminating the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

The Company records a provision for decommissioning costs of certain facilities. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the Statement of income as a Financial expense. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

The Company is a provider of electrical equipment that falls under the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The directive distinguishes between waste management of equipment sold to private households prior to a date as determined by each EU Member State (historical waste) and waste management of equipment sold to private households after that date (new waste). A provision for the expected costs of management of historical waste is recognized when the Company participates in the market during the measurement period as determined by each Member State, and the costs can be reliably measured. These costs are recognized as Other business expenses(asset) in the Statement of income. With respectregards to new waste, a provision forthese elements, the expected costs is recognized when products that fall within the directive are sold and the disposal costs can be reliably measured. Derecognition takes place when the obligation expires, is settled or is transferred. These costs are recognized as part of Costs of sales. With respect to equipment

166      Annual Report 2013


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

sold to entities other than private households, a provision is recognized when the Company becomes responsible for the costs of this waste management, with the costs recognized as Other business expenses or Cost of sales as appropriate.

Impairment

Value in use is measured as the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. 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.

Impairment of goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require. In most cases the Company identified its cash generating units as one level below that of an operating segment. Cash flows at this level are substantially independent from other cash flows and this is the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored by the Executive Committee. The Company performed and completed annual impairment tests in the same quarter of all years presented in the Consolidated Statements of income. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of income whenever and to the extent that the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit exceeds the unit’s recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use and fair value less cost to sell. An impairment loss on an investment in associates is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in associates.

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

Non-financial assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use, indefinite-lived intangible assets, 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 recognized and measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with the greater of its value in use and fair value less cost to sell. Value in use is measured as the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. 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 discrete cash flows occur that are independent of other cash flows.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if and to the extent 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 Statement of income.

Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the financial assets below its cost is considered an indicator that the financial assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the Statement of income - is reclassified from the fair value reserve in equity (through Other comprehensive income) to the Statement of income.

If objective evidence indicates that financial assets that are carried at cost need to be tested for impairment, calculations are based on information derived from business plans and other information available for estimating their fair value. Any impairment loss is charged to the Statement of income.

An impairment loss related to financial assets is reversed if in a subsequent period, the fair value increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. 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 if no impairment loss had been recognized. Reversals of impairment are recognized in the Statement of income except for reversals of impairment of available-for-sale equity securities, which are recognized in Other comprehensive income.

Employee benefit accounting

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the Statement of income in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The net pension asset or liability recognized in the Consolidated balance sheet in respect of defined benefit post-employment plans is the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the projected defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the balance sheet date. The projected 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.

For the Company’s major plans, a full discount rate curve of high-quality corporate bonds (based on Towers Watson RATE:Link data) is used to determine the defined benefit obligation, whereas for the other plans a single-point discount rate is used based on the plan’s maturity. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local sovereign curve and the plan’s maturity.

Pension costs in respect of defined benefit post-employment plans primarily represent the increase of the actuarial present value of the obligation for post-employment benefits based on employee service during the year and the interest on the net recognized asset or liability in respect of employee service in previous years. The Company presents service costs in Income from operations and the net interest expenses related to defined benefitdefined-benefit plans in Financial expense.

RemeasurementsFurthermore, when accounting for the settlement of defined-benefit plans the Company made the accounting policy choice to adjust the amount of the net defined benefit liability comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) andtransferred for the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest)ceiling.

Further information on employee benefit accounting can be found innote 20, Post-employment benefits.

Cash flow statements

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

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

The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlementConsolidated statements of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs. The gain or loss on settlement comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets and change in the present value of defined benefit obligation. Past service costs following 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, are recognized in full in the Statement 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 profit-sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Company recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation and the obligationcash flows can be measured reliably.found insection 10.8, Consolidated statements of cash flows, of this report.

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, such as jubilee entitlements. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as personnel expense, with a corresponding increasePolicies that are more critical in equity, over the vesting period of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and Monte Carlo sampling to determine the fair value of the awards, depending on the type of instruments granted and certain vesting conditions.nature

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of the ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue for sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated

Annual Report 2013      167


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

reliably, there is no continuing involvement with goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

Transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. For consumer-type products in the sectorssegments Personal Health businesses and Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and depending on the delivery conditions, title and risk have passed to the customer (depending on the delivery conditions) and acceptance of the product when contractually required, has been obtained, or, in cases where such acceptance is not contractually required, when management has established that all aforementioned conditions for revenue recognition have been met.obtained. Examples of the above-mentioned delivery conditions are ‘Free on Board point of delivery’ and ‘Costs, Insurance Paid point of delivery’, where the point of delivery may be the shipping warehouse or any other point of destination as agreed in the contract with the customer and where title and risk for the goods pass to the customer.

Revenues of transactions that have separately identifiable components are recognized based on their relative fair values. These transactions mainly occur in the Healthcare sectorsegments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses and include arrangements that require subsequent installation and training activities in order to become operable for the customer. However, since payment for the equipment is contingent upon the completion of the installation process, revenue recognition is generally deferred until the installation has been completed and the product is ready to be used by the customer in the way contractually agreed.

Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes, customer discounts, rebates and similar charges. 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.

For products for which a residual value guarantee has been granted or a buy-back arrangement has been concluded, revenue recognition takes place when significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer. The following are the principal factors that the Company considers in determining that the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards:

the period from the sale to the repurchase represents the major (normally at least 75%) part of the economic life of the asset;

the proceeds received on the initial transfer and the amount of any residual value or repurchase price, measured on a present value basis, is equal to substantially all (normally at least 90%) of the fair value of the asset at the sale date;

insurance risk is borne by the customer; however, if the customer bears the insurance risk but the Company bears the remaining risks, then risks and rewards have not been transferred to the customer; and

the repurchase price is equal to the market value at the time of the buy-back.

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

Shipping and handling billed to customers is recognized as revenues. Expenses incurred for shipping and handling of internal movements of goods are recorded as cost of sales. Shipping and handling related to sales to third parties are recorded as selling expenses. When shipping and handling is part of a project and billed to the customer, then the related expenses are recorded as cost or sales. Shipping and handling billed to customers is recognized as revenues. Service revenue related to repair and maintenance activities for goods sold is recognized ratably over the service period or as services are rendered.

A provision for product warranty is made at the time of revenue recognition and reflects the estimated costs of replacement andfree-of-charge services that will be incurred by the Company with respect to the products. For certain products, the customer has the option to purchase an extension of the warranty, which is subsequently billed to the customer. Revenue recognition occurs on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty contract period.

Revenue from services is recognized when the Company can reliably measure the amount of revenue and the associated cost related to the stage of completion of a contract or transaction, and the recovery of the consideration is considered probable.

Royalty income from intellectual property rights, which is generally earned based upon a percentage of sales or a fixed amount per product sold, is recognized on an accrual basis.basis based on actual or reliably estimated sales made by a licensees. Royalty income from an agreement withlump-sum consideration is recognized on accrual basis based on the contractual terms and substance of the relevant agreement with a licensee.

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the Statement of income as a reduction of the related costs over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Financial income Grants related to assets are deducted from the cost of the asset and expenses

Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets) and recognized surpluses for post-employment benefit plans, dividend income,presented net gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, net fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, net gains on the remeasurement to fair value of any pre-existing available-for-sale interest in an acquiree, and net gains on hedging instruments that are recognized in the Statement of income. Interest income is recognized on accrual basis in the Statement of income, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in the Statement of income on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings and recognized deficits for post-employment benefit plans, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, losses on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, net fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables), net interest expenses related to defined benefit plans and net losses on hedging instruments that are recognized in the Statement of income.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in the Statement of income using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either financial income or financial cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Income taxtaxes

Income taxtaxes comprises current and deferred tax. Income taxtaxes is recognized in the Statement of income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly within equity or in otherOther comprehensive income. Current taxtaxes is the expected taxtaxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially-enactedsubstantively-enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Tax liabilities are recognized when it is considered probable that there will be a future outflow of funds to a taxing authority. In such cases, provision is made for the amount that is expected to be settled, where this can be reasonably estimated. This assessment relies on

Annual Report 2016      129


Group financial statements 10.10

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 liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact the income tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized, using the 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: the initial recognition of goodwill,goodwill; the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit,profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, tojoint ventures and associates where the extentreversal of the respective temporary difference can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that they probablyit will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax istaxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantially-enactedsubstantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally-enforceablelegally 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 tax entities, but they intend 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 future taxable profits will be available 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

168      Annual Report 2013


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

be refundable or deductible. Changes in tax rates are reflected in the period when the change has been enacted or substantially-enactedsubstantively enacted by the reporting date.

Further information on income tax can be found innote 8, Income taxes.

Provisions

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

Product warranty – A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighing of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

Environmental provisions – Measurement of liabilities associated with environmental obligations, is based on current legal and constructive requirements. Liabilities and expected insurance recoveries, if any, are recorded separately. The carrying amount of environmental liabilities is regularly reviewed and adjusted for new facts and changes in law.

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

Litigation provisions – In relation to legal claim provisions and settlements, the relevant balances are transferred to Other liabilities at the point the amount and timing of cash outflows are no longer uncertain. Settlements which are agreed for amounts in excess of existing provisions are reflected as increases of Other liabilities.

Further information on provisions can be found innote 19, Provisions.

Goodwill

The measurement of goodwill at initial recognition is described under Basis of consolidation note. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Further information on goodwill can also be found innote 11, Goodwill.

Intangible assets other than goodwill

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

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

The development expenditure capitalized 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 Statement of income. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization of capitalized development expenditure is charged to the Statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

Further information on intangible assets other than goodwill can be found innote 12, Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

Discontinued operations andnon-current assets held for sale

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

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

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or that is classified as held for sale, and (a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; and (b) is a part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or (c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to sell. A component that previously was held for use will have one or more cash-generating units. Generally, the disposal of a business that previously was part of a single cash-generating unit does not qualify as a component of an entity and therefore shall not be classified as a discontinued operation if disposed of.

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

Upon classification of a disposal group as held for sale the Company may agree with the buyer to retain certain assets and liabilities, in which case such items are not presented as part of assets/liabilities held for sale, even though the associated item in the Statement of income would be presented as part of discontinued operations. The presentation of cash flows relating to such items in that case mirrors the classification in the Statement of income, i.e. as cash flows from discontinued operations.

Adjustments in the current period to amounts previously presented in discontinued operations that are directly related to the disposal of a discontinued operation in a prior period are classified separately in discontinuedDiscontinued operations. Circumstances to which these adjustments may relate include resolution of uncertainties that arise from the terms of the disposal transaction, such as the resolution of a 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 product warranty obligations retained by the Company, or the settlement of employee benefit plan obligations provided that the settlement is directly related to the disposal transaction.

Impairment

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized but tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require. In most cases the Company identified its cash generating units for goodwill at one level below that of an operating segment. Cash flows at this level are substantially independent from other cash flows and this is the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored by the Executive Committee. In 2016 the Company performed and completed annual impairment tests in the second quarter, in line with all years presented in the Statement of income, and in the fourth quarter. The additional impairment test atyear-end was performed in view of the change in the date of test from second quarter to fourth quarter, as from 2017, to better align it with planning and forecasting cycles. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of income whenever and

Annual Report 2016      131


Group financial statements 10.10

to the extent that the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit exceeds the unit’s recoverable amount, which is 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.

Further information on impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use can be found innote 11, Goodwill.

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

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

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if and to the extent 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 Statement of income.

Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In case ofavailable-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the financial assets below its cost is considered an indicator that the financial assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists foravailable-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the Statement of income - is reclassified from the fair value reserve in equity (through Other comprehensive income) to the Statement of income.

If objective evidence indicates that financial assets that are carried at cost, such as loans and receivables, need to be tested for impairment, calculations are based on information derived from business plans and other information available for estimating their fair value, which is based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Any impairment loss is charged to the Statement of income.

An impairment loss related to financial assets is reversed if in a subsequent period, the fair value increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. 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 if no impairment loss had been recognized. Reversals of impairment are recognized in the Statement of income except for reversals of impairment ofavailable-for-sale equity securities, which are recognized in Other comprehensive income.

Other policies

Basis of consolidation

The Consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and all subsidiaries that the Company controls, i.e. when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The existence and effect of potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. 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.

Business combinations

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

The Company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

the recognized amount of anynon-controlling interest in the acquiree; plus

132      Annual Report 2016


Group financial statements 10.10

if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

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

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

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

Further information on business combinations can be found innote 4, Acquisitions and divestments.

Acquisitions of and adjustments tonon-controlling interests

Acquisitions ofnon-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognized. Adjustments tonon-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.

Loss of control

Upon the 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 on the loss of control is recognized in the Statement of income. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then 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 anavailable-for-sale financial asset, depending on the level of influence retained.

Investments in associates

Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence, but no control. Significant influence is presumed with a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of an investment includes the carrying amount of goodwill identified on acquisition. An impairment loss on such investment is allocated to the investment as a whole.

The Company’s share of the net income of these companies is included in Results relating to investments in associates in the Statement of income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Dilution gains and losses arising from investments in associates are recognized in the Statement of income as part of Other results relating to investments in associates. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term loans) is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Remeasurement differences of an equity stake resulting from gaining control over the investee previously recorded as associate are recorded under investments in associates.

Further information on investments in associates can be found innote 5, Interests in entities.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions

The financial statements of all group entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The euro (EUR) is the functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the Group financial statements. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation atyear-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Statement of income, except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Foreign currency differences arising from translations are recognized in the Statement of income, except foravailable-for-sale equity investments which are recognized in Other comprehensive income. If there is an impairment which results in foreign currency differences being recognized, then these differences are reclassified from Other comprehensive income to the Statement of income.

Annual Report 2016      133


Group financial statements 10.10

All exchange difference items are presented as part of Cost of sales, with the exception of tax items and financial income and expense, which are recognized in the same line item as they relate in the Statement 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 euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to euro at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation of foreign operations into euro are recognized in Other comprehensive income, and presented as part of Currency translation differences in Equity. However, if the operation is anon-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated toNon-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 Statement 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 toNon-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 Statement of income.

Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at the trade date. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Gains or losses, if any, are recorded in Financial income and expense.

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, othernon-current financial assets, debt and other financial liabilities that are not designated as hedges.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances andshort-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

Further information on cash and cash equivalents can be found innote 30, Details of treasury / other financial risks.

Receivables

Receivables are carried at the lower of amortized cost or the present value of estimated future cash flows, taking into account discounts given or agreed. The present value of estimated future cash flows is determined through the use of value adjustments for uncollectible amounts. As soon as individual trade accounts receivable can no longer be collected in the normal way and are expected to result in a loss, they are designated as doubtful trade accounts receivable and valued at the expected collectible amounts. They are written off when they are deemed to be uncollectible because of bankruptcy or other forms of receivership of the debtors. The allowance for the risk ofnon-collection of trade accounts receivable takes into account credit-risk concentration, collective debt risk based on average historical losses, and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic conditions in a specific country or region.

Philips derecognizes receivables on entering into factoring transactions if Philips has transferred substantially all risks and rewards or if Philips does not retain control over receivables.

Further information on receivables can be found innote 16, Receivables.

Othernon-current financial assets

Othernon-current financial assets includeheld-to-maturity investments, loans receivable andavailable-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Held-to-maturity investments are those debt securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.Held-to-maturity debt investments are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts using the effective interest method.

Loans receivable are stated at amortized cost, less impairment.

Available-for-sale financial assets arenon-derivative financial assets that are designated asavailable-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the other

134      Annual Report 2016


Group financial statements 10.10

categories of financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available forsale-debt instruments are recognized in Other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to the Statement of income.

Available-for-sale financial assets including investments inprivately-held companies that are not associates, and do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value could not be reliably determined, are carried at cost.

A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets are designated as fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in the Statement of income. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in the Statement of income as incurred.

Further information on othernon-current financial assets can be found innote 13, Other financial assets.

Equity

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Where the Company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental transaction costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

Call options on own shares are treated as equity instruments in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards criteria.

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.

The ‘Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips’ has been granted the right to acquire preference shares in the Company. Such right has not been exercised. As a means to protect the Company and its stakeholders against an unsolicited attempt to acquire (de facto) control of the Company, the General Meeting of Shareholders in 1989 adopted amendments to the Company’s articles of association that allow the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board to issue (rights to acquire) preference shares to a third party. As of December 31, 2016, no preference shares have been issued.

Further information on equity can be found innote 17, Equity.

Debt and other liabilities

Debt and liabilities other than provisions are stated at amortized cost.

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, for managing interest rate and commodity price risks. All derivative financial instruments are accounted for at the trade date and classified as current ornon-current assets or liabilities based on the maturity date or the earlier termination date. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related. The Company measures all derivative financial instruments at fair value derived from market prices of the instruments, or calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread, credit spreads and foreign exchange rates, or from option pricing models, as appropriate. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the Statement 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, until the Statement of income is 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 Statement of income.

The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is established that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is expected that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company continues to carry the derivative on the Balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that

Annual Report 2016      135


Group financial statements 10.10

were accumulated in Other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in the same line item as they relate to in the Statement of income.

Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of financial instruments designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly as a separate component of equity through Other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the Statement of income.

Offsetting and master netting agreements

The Company presents financial assets and financial liabilities on a gross basis as separate line items in the Consolidated balance sheet.

Master netting agreements may be entered into when the Company undertakes a number of financial instrument transactions with a single counterparty. Such an agreement provides for a net settlement of all financial instruments covered by the agreement in the event of default or certain termination events on any of the transactions. A master netting agreement may create a right of offset that becomes enforceable and affects the realization or settlement of individual financial assets and financial liabilities only following a specified termination event. However, if this contractual right is subject to certain limitations then it does not necessarily provide a basis for offsetting unless both of the offsetting criteria are met, i.e. there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously.

Property, plant and equipment

The costs of property, plant and equipment comprise all directly attributable costs (including the cost of material and direct labor).

Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in Other Business Income. Costs related to repair and maintenance activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred unless leading to an extension of the original lifetime or capacity.

Plant and equipment under finance leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using thestraight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. The gain realized on sale and operating leaseback transactions that are concluded based upon market conditions is recognized at the time of the sale in Other Business Income, in the Consolidated statements of income.

Further information on property, plant and equipment can be found innote 10, Property, plant and equipment.

Leased assets

Leases in which the Company is the lessee and has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the Statement of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and othernon-current liabilities. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets and the lease term.

Leases in which the Company is the lessee and in which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in the Statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of conversion of inventories include direct labor and fixed and variable production overheads, taking into account the stage of completion and the normal capacity of production facilities. Costs of idle facility and abnormal waste are expensed. The cost of inventories is determined using thefirst-in,first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on sales in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Further information on inventories can be found innote 15, Inventories.

Employee benefit accounting

A defined-contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions todefined-contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the Statement of income in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

A defined-benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined-contribution plan. Plans for which the Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts, but to which it does paynon-fixed contributions, are also treated as a

136      Annual Report 2016


Group financial statements 10.10

defined-benefit plan. The net pension asset or liability recognized in the Consolidated balance sheets in respect of defined-benefit post-employment plans is the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the projected defined-benefit obligation at the 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. The curves are based on Towers Watson’s RATE:Link methodology which uses data of corporate bonds rated AA or equivalent. For the other plans a single point discount rate is used based on corporate bonds for which there is a deep market and the plan’s maturity. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local sovereign curve and the plan’s maturity.

Pension costs in respect of defined-benefit post-employment plans primarily represent the increase of the actuarial present value of the obligation for post-employment benefits based on employee service during the year and the interest on the net recognized asset or liability in respect of employee service in previous years.

Remeasurements of the net defined-benefit asset or liability comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest). The Company recognizes all remeasurements in Other comprehensive income.

The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined-benefit plan when the settlement occurs. The gain or loss on settlement is the difference between the present value of the defined-benefit obligation being settled, as determined on the date of settlement, and the settlement price, including any plan assets transferred and any payments made directly by the Company in connection with the settlement. In this respect, the amount of the plan assets transferred is adjusted for the effect of the asset ceiling. Past service costs following 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 Statement 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 in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, such as jubilee entitlements. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognized in the Statement of income in the period in which they arise.

Further information on employee benefit accounting can be found innote 20, Post-employment benefits.

Share-based payment

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given innote 27, Share-based compensation.

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as personnel expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the award. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.

Service andnon-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant-date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant-date fair value.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest becausenon-market performance and/ or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market ornon-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market ornon-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

Group financial statements 10.10

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (further details are given in note 9, Earnings per share).

Financial income and expenses

Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested (includingavailable-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, net gains on the disposal ofavailable-for-sale financial assets, net fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, net gains on the remeasurement to fair value of any preexistingavailable-for-sale interest in an acquiree, and net gains on foreign exchange impacts that are recognized in the Statement of income.

Interest income is recognized on accrual basis in the Statement of income, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in the Statement of income on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally theex-dividend date.

Financial expenses comprise interest expenses on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, losses on disposal ofavailable-for-sale financial assets, net fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables), net interest expenses related to defined-benefit plans and net losses on foreign exchange impacts that are recognized in the Statement of income.

Further information on financial income and expenses can be found innote 7, Financial income and expenses.

Financial guarantees

The Company recognizes a liability at the fair value of the obligation at the inception of a financial guarantee contract if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation or the amount initially recognized.

Cash flow statements

Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency are translated in the Company’s functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the cash flow. Cash flows from derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. Cash flows from other derivative instruments are classified as investing cash flows.

Segment information

Operating segments are components of the Company’s business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Board of ManagementExecutive Committee of the Company). The Board of ManagementExecutive Committee decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance. Reportable segments comprise the operating sectors Healthcare, Consumer Lifestylesegments Personal Health businesses, Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses and Lighting.

Cash flow statements

Cash flow statements are prepared using the indirect method. Cash flows in foreign currencies have been translated into euros using the weighted average rates of exchange for the periods involved. Cash flows from derivative instruments that are accounted for as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. Cash flows from other derivative instruments are classified consistent with the nature of the instrument.Company.

Earnings per shareShare

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the netNet income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the Statement ofNet income (loss) attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise convertible personnel debentures,comprises of restricted shares, performance shares and share options granted to employees.

Financial guaranteesFurther information on earnings per share can be found innote 9, Earnings per share.

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.New standards and interpretations

IFRS accounting standards adopted as from 20132016

The accountingChanges to policies, set out above have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Consolidated financial statements except as explained below which addresses changes in accounting policies. In case of the absence of explicit transition requirements for new accounting pronouncements, the Company accounts for any change in accounting principle retrospectively.

The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRSs as of January 1, 2013.

Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 7)

As a result of thefrom amendments to IFRS 7,standards, interpretations and the Company has expanded its disclosures about the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. See note 34, Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. The new standard includes guidance on control with less than half of the voting rights (‘de facto’ control), participating and protective voting rights and agent/principal relationships. Based on a reassessment of the control conclusion for the investees at January 1, 2013, the adoption of IFRS 10annual improvement cycles, effective 2016, did not have a material impact on the Company’s ConsolidatedGroup financial statements.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

Under IFRS 11, the structure of the joint arrangement, although still an important consideration, is no longer the main factor in determining the type of joint arrangement and therefore the subsequent accounting. Instead:

The Company’s interest in a joint operation, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rightsaccounting standards to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, will be accounted for on the basis of the Company’s interest in those assets and liabilities.

The Company’s interest in a joint venture, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the net assets, are equity-accounted.

Prior to 2012 the Company accounted for jointly controlled entities using the equity method. The adoption therefore does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

This standard contains the disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and other unconsolidated interests. As a result of IFRS 12, the Company has expanded its disclosures on interests in other entities. See note 6, Interests in entities.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements, when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. More specifically, the definition of fair value was clarified to be the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also replaces and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, of which some of these are required in interim financial statements related to financial instruments. The Company therefore has included additional disclosures in note 34, Fair value of financial assets and liabilities. IFRS 13 has no material impact on the measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1)

The new amendment requires separation of items presented in Other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether or not they can be recycled into the Statement of income in the future. Items that will not be recycled in the future are presented separately from items that may be

Annual Report 2013      169


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

recycled in the future. The application of this amendment impacts presentation and disclosures only. Comparative information has been re-presented.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011)

As a result of the introduction of IAS 19 (2011) - or IAS 19R/Revised - the Company has changed its accounting policy with regard to the accounting of defined benefit pension plans. The main change impacts the basis of determining the income or expense for the period related to these pension plans. Under the new standard the Company determines a net interest expense (income) by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the beginning of the annual period to the net defined benefit liability (asset) at the beginning of the annual period, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. As a result, this net interest now comprises:

interest cost on the DBO;

interest income on plan assets; and

interest on the effect of the asset ceiling.

Previously, the Company determined interest income on plan assets based on their long-term rate of expected return. Furthermore, as from January 1, 2013 the Company presents net interest expenses related to defined benefits in Financial income and expense rather than Income from operations.

The new standard no longer allows for accrual of future pension administration costs as part of the DBO. Such costs should be expensed as incurred. Previously, for the Dutch pension plan the Company accrued a surcharge for pension administration costs as part of the service costs into the DBO. With the adoption of the new standard this accrual was eliminated, resulting in an exclusion of EUR 216 million from the DBO per January 1, 2013, thereby improving the funded status. This funded status improvement is offset by the impact of the asset ceiling test regarding the Dutch pension plan’s surplus, and hence there is no further impact on the Company’s balance sheet figures other than the direct recognition of previously unrecognized past service cost.

The impact on Equity from the IAS 19 (2011) accounting policy change is as follows:

December 31,
2012

Decrease in the net defined benefit obligation (non-current, after asset ceiling restriction)

13

Increase in deferred tax assets (non-current)

(2

Net increase on equity

11

Split to:

Equity holders of the parent

11

Non-controlling interest

—  

The limited impact on the balance sheet mainly relates to some unrecognized past service cost gains and losses which must be recognized immediately under IAS 19 (2011). The limited impact is explained by the fact that the Company already applied immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses in Other comprehensive income.

The negative impact of IAS 19 (2011) for post-employment defined benefit plans on Income from operations, Income before taxes and Basic and Diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Diluted earnings per share

   (0.17  (0.28

Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36) (2013)

The amendment to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets was introduced following the introduction of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique. As the amendment is basically to avoid unintended disclosure requirements from the introduction of IFRS 13, it was early adopted by the Company. The amendment has no material impact.

Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments to IAS 19)

Initially the abovementioned IAS 19 (2011) adjustments required that employee contributions basically would have to be incorporated in the measurement of the defined benefit obligation. This amendment allows a practical expedient to continue to recognize employee contributions in the Statement of income when certain conditions are met. The Company early adopted this amendment and as a result there is no change in the way how employee contributions are currently treated compared to the treatment prior to the IAS 19 (2011) adoption. Up to 2013 the Company has very limited employee contributions in their pension plans.

IFRS accounting standards adopted as from 20142017 and onwards

A number of new standards and amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Company beginning on or after January 1, 20142017 or later periods, and the Company has not yet early adopted them. Those which may be the most relevant to the Company are set out below.

IFRIC 21 Levies

IFRIC 21 provides guidance on the accounting for certain outflows imposed on entities by governments in accordance with laws and/or regulations (levies). The Interpretation identifies the obligating event for the recognition of a liability as the activity that triggers the payment of the levy in accordance with the relevant legislation. This Interpretation does not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Changes to other standards, following from Amendmentsamendments and the Annual Improvement Cycles, doannual improvement cycles, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

170IFRS 9 Financial Instruments brings together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

138      Annual Report 20132016


11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9LOGO10.10

IFRS 9 adds a new expected loss impairment model and amendments to classification and measurement for financial assets. The impairment model is based on the concept of providing for expected losses at inception of a contract, except in the case of purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, where expected credit losses are incorporated into the effective interest rate.

The standard supersedes all previous versions of IFRS 9 and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. It is endorsed by the EU. The Company is currently in the process of implementing the new Standard, and based on its current assessment of the potential impact of adoption of IFRS 9 based on its positions at 31 December 2016 and hedging relationships designated during 2016 under IAS 39, the following is noted:

Classification

At this moment the Company does not believe that the new classification requirements will have a material impact on its accounting for trade receivables, loans, investments in debt securities and investments in equity securities that are managed on a fair value basis. At 31 December 2016, the Company had equity investments classified asavailable-for-sale with a fair value of approximately EUR 140 million that are held for long-term strategic purposes. The Company did not make a decision yet as to classify these investments as fair-value-through-other-comprehensive-income (FVOCI) orfair-value-through-profit-or-loss (FVTPL) financial assets, assuming these investments continue to be held for the same purpose at initial application of IFRS 9.

On the classification of financial liabilities under IFRS 9 the Company’s current assessment did not indicate any material impact.

Impairment

IFRS 9 requires the Company to record expected credit losses on all of its debt securities, loans and trade receivables, either on a12-month or lifetime basis.

While the group has not yet undertaken a detailed assessment of how its impairment provisions would be affected by the new model, it may result in an earlier recognition of credit losses.

Hedge accounting

The Company’s current plan is that it will elect to apply the new hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 rather than to make the accounting policy choice to continue the IAS 39 requirements.

Under IFRS 9 the Company should ensure that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with the Company’s risk management objectives and strategy including a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness. Under the new model, it is possible that more risk management strategies, particularly those involving hedging a risk component (other than foreign currency risk) of a non-financial item, will be likely to qualify for hedge accounting. The Company currently does not undertake hedges of such risk components.

Under IAS 39, the change in fair value of the forward element of the forward exchange contracts (“forward points”) is recognized immediately in profit or loss. On adoption of IFRS 9, the Company may elect for the forward points to be separately accounted for as a cost of hedging. In this case, they would be recognized in Other comprehensive income and accumulated in a cost of hedging reserve as a separate component within equity and accounted for subsequently like gains and losses accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve.

The Company’s current assessment indicated that the types of hedge accounting relationships that the Company currently designates should be capable of meeting the requirements of IFRS 9 if the Company completes certain planned changes to its internal documentation and monitoring processes. While the Company will have to finalize the detailed assessment, it would appear that the Company’s current hedge relationships would qualify as continuing hedges upon the adoption of IFRS 9. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a significant impact on the accounting for its hedging relationships.

Transition

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, however the guidance allows certain exemptions on retrospective application. The Company has not made a decision yet in relation to the exemptions and elections that IFRS 9 allows.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 specifies how and when revenue is recognized as well as prescribing more informative and relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and a number of revenue related interpretations.

The new standard provides a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. Furthermore, it provides new guidance on whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time. The standard also introduces new guidance on costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract, specifying the circumstances in which such costs should be capitalized. Costs that do not meet the criteria must be expensed when incurred.

Annual Report 2016      139


Group financial statements 10.10

The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements. The main aspects of the impact assessment are mentioned below:

General

Revenues of transactions that have separately identifiable components are currently recognized based on the relative fair value of the components and mainly occur in the segments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses. Under IFRS 15, the total consideration of a sale transaction will be allocated to the different elements based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. These prices will be determined based on the country list prices (including standard discounts where applicable) at which the Company sells the elements in separate transactions. If these country list prices are not available Philips will use either the adjusted market assessment approach or the expected costs plus a margin approach. The residual approach is only permissible in limited circumstances.

The Company performed an initial comparison of the fair value and the stand-alone selling prices of the identified components. Based on the initial assessment, these amounts are broadly the same, therefore the Company at this stage does not anticipate material differences in the revenue recognition under multiple component accounting.

Sale of goods

For the sale of products in the segments Personal Health businesses and Lighting, revenue is currently recognized when goods are delivered to the customer, which is the point in time at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Revenue is only recognized at this moment after other requirements are also met, such as no continuing management involvement with goods, revenue and costs can be reliably measured and probable recovery of the considerations. Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods. The overall revenue recognition requirements are captured in the steps of the five-step model.

Based on the initial assessment, the Company did not identify material differences for the mentioned segments, between the transfer of control and the current transfer of risk and rewards. As such, at this stage the Company does not anticipate material differences in the timing of revenue recognition for the sale of products.

Rendering of services

Especially within the segments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses, the Company currently recognizes revenue from services when the inflow of the amounts involved are deemed probable and revenue and associated costs related to the stage of completion of a contract or transaction can be reliably measured. Furthermore, revenue from services is deferred and recognized in the Statement of income over the period during which the service is rendered. Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the services, which can be at a point in time or over time. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, revenue needs to be recognized by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation at the end of each reporting period.

Based on the initial assessment, the Company did not identify material differences between its current accounting treatment and IFRS 15, with respect to the timing of revenue recognition of service revenues.

Royalty income

Currently the Company recognizes revenue from intellectual property (IP) royalties, which is normally generated based upon a percentage of sales or a fixed amount per product sold, on an accrual basis based on actual or reliably estimated sales made by the licensees. Revenue generated from an agreement withlump-sum consideration is recognized on accrual basis based on the contractual terms and substance of the relevant agreement with a licensee. Under IFRS 15, revenues from the license of intellectual property should be recognized based on a right to access the intellectual property or a right to use the intellectual property approach. Under the first option revenue should be recognized over time while under the second option revenue should be recognized at a point in time.

Based on the initial assessment, the Company has identified a potential impact on revenues originating from its IP royalties (Segment HealthTech Other). The potential impact is mainly related to a change in timing of revenue recognition which, under IFRS 15, could be recognized in the Statement of income at an earlier point in time rather than over time under the current methodology.

The Company is currently performing a detailed analysis on a contract by contract basis, to assess the related impact.

Costs of obtaining a contract

Under IFRS 15, the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Under the current guidance these costs are expensed when incurred.

The Company identified certain sales commissions that are typical for transactions in the segments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses to be incremental costs of obtaining a contract. The Company is currently assessing the exact amounts involved as well as the appropriate time in which capitalized contract costs should be amortized.

140      Annual Report 2016


Group financial statements 10.10

The Company has significant commission costs that are currently expensed as incurred, hence the IFRS 15 guidance means a change to current practice.

Transition

The Company plans to adopt IFRS 15 in its consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition approach upon initial adoption of IFRS 15, applying the standard only to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application. This would mean that comparative figures will not be restated and that additional clarifying disclosures will be presented in the Annual Report 2018.

IFRS 15 must be applied for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. It is endorsed by the EU (except for the Clarifications to IFRS 15 issued by the IASB in April 2016).

IFRS 16 Leases

For lessees, IFRS 16 requires most leases to be recognizedon-balance (under a single model), eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases and related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16 a lessee recognizes aright-of-use asset and a lease liability. Theright-of-use asset is treated similarly to othernon-financial assets and is depreciated accordingly. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if that can be readily determined. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined then the incremental borrowing rate should be used for discounting. The liability accrues interest. As with current IAS 17, under IFRS 16 lessors classify leases as operating or finance in nature.

IFRS 16 must be adopted for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted if the abovementioned IFRS 15 has also been adopted. IFRS 16 is not yet endorsed by the EU.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard. So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Company will recognize assets and liabilities for its operating leases of real estate, while further assessment is ongoing for other operating leases. In this respect, the Company identified almost EUR 1 billion ofoff-balance operating lease obligations (undiscounted) per December 31, 2016. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now change as IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge forright-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. No significant impact is expected for the Company’s finance leases.

The Company has not yet determined whether to early adopt or not and which transition approach to apply, and has not yet decided whether it will use any of the optional exemptions.

Includes all depreciation and amortization. For the definition of Adjusted income from operations and for the amortization not included in Adjusted income from operations, refer to table below

In 2016, Philips established two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting opportunities. As part of this separation, Philips has changed the way it allocates resources and analyzes its performance based on a new segment structure. Accordingly, from 2016 the reportable segments for the purpose of the disclosures required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments are Personal Health businesses, Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses and Lighting, each being responsible for the management of its business worldwide. Additionally, HealthTech Other and Legacy Items are included.

Information by sector and main countryThe internal management report provided to the chief operating decision maker (the Executive Committee of the Company) has had changes in 2016. Accordingly the disclosure in this note has been updated. The key segmental performance measure provided in the internal management report to the chief operating decision maker (the Executive Committee of the Company) is Adjusted income from operations1). Management believes it is the most relevant measure to evaluate the results of the segments.

SectorsThe Company uses the terms EBIT and Adjusted income from operations1) to evaluate the performance of the Philips Group and its operating segments. The term EBIT has the same meaning as Income from operations and the term EBITA1) has the same meaning as Adjusted income from operations1). Adjusted income from operations1) represents income from operations before amortization and impairment on intangible assets (excluding software and capitalized development expenses). Referencing Adjusted income from operations1) is considered appropriate as the Company uses it as one of its strategic drivers to increase profitability throughre-allocation of its resources towards opportunities offering more consistent and higher returns and it will make the underlying performance of our businesses more transparent as it will not be distorted by the unpredictable effects of future, unidentified acquisitions.

Adjusted income from operations1) is not a financial measure in accordance with IFRS. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted income from operations1) to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net

LOGOLOGO Interests in entities

In this section we discuss the nature of, and risks associated with, 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.

IPO Philips Lighting

In May and June 2016, the Company sold 28.775% of its interest in Philips Lighting (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) through an IPO (involving 28.75% of the shares) and transactions with the CEO and CFO of Philips Lighting (involving 0.025% of the shares), reducing its remaining interest in Philips Lighting to 71.225%. This transaction involved cash proceeds of EUR 863 million and EUR 38 million transaction costs spend. This partial divestment transaction did not impact the profit and loss account of the Company, as Philips Lighting continues to be fully consolidated.

The transactions had a positive impact on Shareholders’ equity of the Company of EUR 109 million. This amount is based on:

the difference between the proceeds and the carrying value of the 28.775% stake in Philips Lighting (gain of EUR 163 million);

costs related to the IPO which were directly recognized in Shareholders’ equity (loss of EUR 38 million) and;

certain reallocations of Other comprehensive income items toNon-controlling interests (loss of EUR 16 million).

As a result of the IPO,Non-controlling interests increased by EUR 716 million. Please refer also tonote 17, Equity. This amount is based on:

the carrying value of the 28.775% stake in Philips Lighting (increase of EUR 700 million) and;

certain reallocations of Other comprehensive income items from Shareholders’ equity (increase of EUR 16 million).

Prior to the IPO, the Company completed an internal legal restructuring whereby all Lighting activities were concentrated in Philips Lighting. This legal restructuring resulted in an increase of consolidated legal entities from 450 as of December 31, 2015 to 465 as of December 31, 2016.

Sales and Income from operations of Philips Lighting are reflected in the Lighting segment information included innote 2, Information by segment and main country. Certain differences exist between the Lighting segment information reported by the Company and Philips Lighting’s stand-alone Annual Report published on February 21, 2017. Differences in income from operations mainly relate to separation costs (EUR 62 million) that Philips Lighting recognizes in Income from operations, whereas these costs are reflected in the segment Legacy Items by Royal Philips.

Involvement with unconsolidated structured entities

Philips founded three Philips Medical Capital (PMC) entities, in the United States, France and Germany, in which Philips holds a minority interest. Philips Medical Capital, LLC in the United States is the most significant entity. PMC entities provide healthcare equipment financing and leasing services to Philips customers for diagnostic imaging equipment, patient monitoring equipment, and clinical IT systems.

The Company concluded that it does not control, and therefore should not consolidate the PMC entities. In the United States, PMC operates as a subsidiary of De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. The same set up and treatment is applied to the PMC entities in the other countries, with other majority shareholders.

Philips’ operations are subject to income taxes in various foreign jurisdictions. The statutory income tax rates vary from 10.0%varies up to 39.4%40.0%, which results in a difference between the weighted average statutory income tax rate and the Netherlands’ statutory income tax rate of 25% (2012:25.0% (2015: 25.0%; 2011:2014: 25.0%).

A reconciliation of the weighted average statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate of continuing operations is as follows:

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.

The net deferred tax assets of EUR 1,5992,726 million (2012:(2015: EUR 1,8272,594 million) consist of deferred tax assets of EUR 1,6752,792 million (2012:(2015: EUR 1,9192,758 million) in countries with a net deferred tax asset position and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 7666 million (2012:(2015: EUR 92164 million) in countries with a net deferred tax liability position.. The below table presents the amounts before and after appropriate offsetting. Of the total deferred tax assets of EUR 1,6752,726 million at December 31, 2013, (2012:2016 (2015: EUR 1,9192,758 million), EUR 5432,054 million (2012:(2015: EUR 5072,119 million) is recognized in respect of fiscal entities in various countries where there have been fiscaltax losses in the current or preceding period. Management’s projections support the assumption that it is probable that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize these deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 20132016 and 2012, there were no recognized deferred tax liabilities for taxes that would be payable on2015 the unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of Philips Holding USA since it has been determined that undistributed profits of such subsidiaries will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The temporary differences associated with the investments, in subsidiaries of Philips Holding USA,including potential income tax consequences on dividends, for which ano deferred tax liability has not beenliabilities are recognized, aggregate to EUR 32685 million (2012:(2015: EUR 35739 million).

Tax risks

Philips is exposed to tax uncertainties. With regard to these uncertainties a liability is recognized if, as a result of a past event, Philips has an obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. These uncertainties are presented as Other tax liabilities innote 22, Other liabilities and include, amongstamong others, the following:

Transfer pricing uncertainties

Philips has issued transfer pricing directives, which are in accordance with international guidelines such as those of the Organization of EconomicCo-operation and Development. As transfer pricing has a cross-border effect, the focus of local tax authorities on implemented transfer pricing procedures in a country may have an impact on results in another country. In order to reduce the transfer pricing uncertainties, monitoring procedures are carried out by Group Tax and Internal Audit to safeguard the correct implementation of the transfer pricing directives.

Tax uncertainties on general and specific service agreements and specific allocation contractslicensing agreements

Due to the centralization of certain activities in a limited number of countries (such as research and development, centralized IT and group functions and head office)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, apart from specific allocationservice contracts for costssuch as intra-group service agreements and revenues, general servicelicensing agreements are signed with a large number of group entities. Tax authorities review the

Furthermore, buy in/out situations in the case of (de)mergers could affect the taxcost allocation of GSAsresulting from the intragroup service agreements between countries. The same applies to the specific allocation contracts.service agreements.

Tax uncertainties due to disentanglements and acquisitions

When a subsidiary of Philips is disentangled, or a new company is acquired, related tax uncertainties may arise. Philips creates merger and acquisition (M&A) teams for these disentanglements or acquisitions. In addition to representatives from the involved sector,business, these teams consist of specialists from various group functions and are formed, amongstamong other things, to identify hidden tax uncertainties that could subsequently surface when companies are acquired and to reduce potential tax claims related to disentangled entities. These tax uncertainties are investigated and assessed to mitigate tax uncertainties in the future of the extent possible. Several tax uncertainties may surface from M&A activities. Examples of tax uncertainties are: applicability of the participation exemption,exemptions, cost allocation issues, and non-deductibility of parts of the purchase price.issues related to(non-)deductibility.

Tax uncertainties due to permanent establishments

In countries where Philips starts new operations or alters business models, the issue ofA permanent establishment may arise.

Not wholly owned subsidiaries

Among the consolidated legal entities is one entity where the Company owns 44% of the voting power. We have determined that the Company controls this entity on a de facto power basis. The sales, income from operations and net income of this entity is less than 1% of the consolidated financial data of the company and therefore not considered material.

In total eleven consolidated subsidiaries are not wholly owned by the Company. The sales, income from operations and net income of these entities (before any intra-group eliminations) are less than 3% of the consolidated financial data of the company and therefore not considered material.

Joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities

The Company did not have joint arrangements or unconsolidated structured entities that require separate disclosure under IFRS 12.

Investments in associates

Philips has investments in a number of associates, none of them are regarded as individually material.

Philips has agreed that it will transfer the remaining 30% stake in the TP Vision venture, which has a book value of nil as at December 31, 2013,country; potentially leading to TPV. The net impact of a transaction-related payment has been accrued in Other current liabilities at December 31, 2013 due to conditions that existed at the balance sheet date.

The Company owns four equity interests which represent more than 20% in the capital of the underlying companies. With respect to these equity interests, the Company cannot exercise significant influence based on governance agreements concluded among shareholders. These equity interests are accounted for as Other non-current financial assets. In 2013, the Company’s share in net income of these entities was insignificant.

The Company has one investment where it owns 51% of the shares of an entity, however is not able to control it and therefore it is not consolidated but accounted for as an investment in associate.

During 2013 the Company’s shareholding in two of its investments in associates was diluted and subsequently treated as available-for-sale financial assets. The dilution gains of EUR 16 million are recognized under results related to investments in associates.

The Company has not recognized a proportional share of losses, totaling EUR 37 million (2012: EUR 9 million) in relation to its investments in associates because the Company has no obligation in respect of these losses.

Summarized information of investments in associates

Unaudited summarized financial information on the Company’s most significant investments in associates, on a combined basis, is presented below. It is based on the most recent available financial information.

In 2016, goodwill increased by EUR 124 million in Divestments and transfers to assets classified as held for sale mainly relate to divestments in the Healthcare sector.

Acquisitions in 2012 include goodwill relateddue to the acquisition of Indal forWellcentive and PathXL. The increase of EUR 100 million. 235 million is mainly due to translation differences which impacted the goodwill denominated in USD.

In addition,2015, goodwill changedincreased by EUR 627 million due to the finalizationacquisition of purchase price accounting relatedVolcano. The increase of EUR 721 million is due to acquisitionstranslation differences which impacted the goodwill denominated in the prior year.USD.

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to (groups of) cash- generatingcash-generating units (typically one level below operating sectorsegment level), which representsrepresent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes.

Goodwill allocated to the cash-generating units Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Imaging Systems,Image-Guided Therapy, Patient Care & Clinical InformaticsMonitoring Solutions, Sleep & Respiratory Care and Professional Lighting Solutions is considered to be significant in comparison to the total book value of goodwill for the Group at December 31, 2013.2016.

The basis of the recoverable amount used in the annual (performed in the second quarter) and trigger-based impairment tests for the units disclosed in this note is the value in use. In the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2016, the estimated recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units tested approximated or exceeded the carrying value of the units, therefore no impairment loss was recognized.

Key assumptions - general

Key assumptions used in the impairment tests for the units were sales growth rates, Adjusted income from operations1) and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using management’sthe Royal Philips and Philips Lighting managements’ internal forecasts that cover an initial period from 20132017 to 2017 that matches the period used for our strategic process.2019. Projections were extrapolated with stable or declining growth rates for a period of 5 years, after which a terminal value was calculated. For terminal value calculation, growth rates were capped at a historical long-term average growth rate.

The sales growth rates and marginsAdjusted income from operations1) used to estimate cash flows are based on past performance, external market growth assumptions and industry long-term growth averages.

Income Adjusted income from operations1) in all units mentioned in this note is expected to increase over the projection period as a result of volume growth and cost efficiencies.

Among the units mentioned, units, Respiratory Care & Sleep Management andin 2016 Professional Lighting Solutions have the highest amount of goodwill andhad the lowest excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount. The headroom of Respiratory Care & Sleep ManagementProfessional was estimated at EUR 660 million, the headroom of Professional Lighting Solutions at EUR 67050 million. The increase in the headroom of Professional Lighting Solutions compared to the annual impairment test 2012, in which the headroom approximated the carrying value, is mainly explained by increased forecasted profitability assumptions driven by gross margin improvements. The following changes could, individually, cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value:

Impairment charge 2013

In the fourth quarter, the updated impairment test for Consumer Luminaires resulted in EUR 26 million impairment. This was mainly a consequence of reduced growth rate dueAdditional information relating to slower anticipated recovery of certain markets and introduction delays of new product ranges. The pre-tax discount rate appliedcash-generating units to which anon-significant amount relative to the most recent cash flow projectiontotal goodwill is 13.5%. The pre-tax discount rate applied in the previous projection was 13.4%. Comparedallocated

In addition to the previous impairment test there has been no change insignificant goodwill recorded at the organization structure which impacts how goodwill is allocated to this cash-generating unit.

After the impairment chargeunits mentioned above, the estimated recoverable amount for this cash-generating unit approximates the carrying value. Consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions would, individually, cause a further impairment to be recognized. Remaining goodwill allocated to Consumer Luminaires at December 31, 2013 amounts to EUR 106 million.

Additional information 2013

In addition, other units, areHome Monitoring is sensitive to fluctuations in the assumptions as set out above.

Based on the annualmost recent impairment test, it was noted that the headroom for the cash-generating unit Home Monitoring was EUR 7650 million. An increase of 280160 points in thepre-tax discounting rate, a 560390 basis points decline in the compound long-term sales growth rate or a 38%22% decrease in terminal value would, individually, cause its value in use to fall to the level of its carrying value. The goodwill allocated to Home Monitoring at December 31, 20132016 amounts to EUR 3534 million.

Based on the annual impairment test, it was noted that with regard to the headroom for the cash-generating unit Lumileds, the estimated recoverable amount approximates the carrying value of the cash- generating unit. Consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions would, individually, cause an impairment to be recognized. The goodwill allocated to Lumileds at December 31, 2013 amounts to EUR 127 million.

The impairment charges in 2013 include an impairment charge of EUR 24 million in Imaging Systems, which relate to capitalized product development for EUR 7 million and other intangibles for EUR 17 million. The impairment charge is based on a trigger-based test on a specific business unit in Imaging Systems. A change in the business outlook coming from a slower than expected sales ramp up resulted in the mentioned impairment charge. The basis of the recoverable amount used in this test is the value in use and a pre-tax discount rate of 9,6% is applied. After the impairment charge the carrying value of the related intangible assets is zero.

The impairment charges in 2013 includes an impairment charge of EUR 32 million for customer relationships in Consumer Luminaires. The charge is based on a trigger-based test on specific mature markets following the initiated turnaround plan, reconsidering product ranges and growth rates. The basis of the recoverable amount used in this test is the value in use and a pre-tax discount rate of 11.4% is applied. After the impairment charge the carrying value of the related intangible assets is zero.

The initial valueamount of EUR 17 million was adjusted by EUR 11 million during 2012 and EUR 6 million in 2013 reported under Value adjustments. As of December 31, 2013 the fair value reported was nil. On January 20, 2014, Philips has signed a term sheet to transfer its remaining 30% stake in TP Vision, which will also impact the above commitments.

In 2010 Philips sold its entire holding of common shares in NXP Semiconductors B.V. (NXP) to Philips Pension Trustees Limited (herein referred to as “UK Pension Fund”). As a result of this transaction the UK Pension Fund obtained the full legal title and ownership of the NXP shares, including the entitlement to any future dividends and the proceeds from any sale of shares. From the date of the transaction, the NXP shares became an integral part of the plan assets of the UK Pension Fund. The purchase agreement with the UK Pension Fund includes an arrangement that may entitle Philips to a cash payment from the UK Pension Fund on or after September 7, 2014, if the total value yielded by the NXP shares has increased by this date to a level in excess of a predetermined threshold, which at the time of the transaction was substantially above the transaction price, and the UK Pension Fund is in a surplus (on a swaps basis) on September 7, 2014. The arrangement qualifies as a financial instrument and is reported under Other non-current financial assets. The Trustees of the UK Pension Fund have been selling the NXP shares in a number of transactions since 2010. The remaining number of NXP shares were sold in the course of 2013 and the total sale proceeds of the NXP shares exceeded the predetermined threshold. However as of December 31, 2013 the UK Pension Fund was not in surplus (on the agreed swaps basis). The fair value of the arrangement was estimated to be EUR 14 million as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013 management’s best estimate of the fair value of the arrangement is EUR 7 million, based on the current funded status as of December 31, 2013 (swaps basis) and the economic and demographic risks of the UK Pension Fund. The change in fair value in 2013 is reported under Value adjustments in the table above and also recognized in Financial income and expense.91 million.

LOGOLong-term debtquantitative thresholds). As per 31 December 2016, Philips Lighting and/or its subsidiaries do, in some instances, qualify as such (material) subsidiaries covered by such conditions. An example of such condition is the prohibition to any subsidiary of Royal Philips, including Philips Lighting and short-term debtits subsidiaries, from incurring any financial indebtedness outside of the group, subject to aso-called “general basket” exemption of 30% of shareholders’ equity. A material violation of this condition constitutes an event of default under the aforementioned credit/ bank facilities.

Furthermore, nonpayment on the due date or acceleration of financial indebtedness of a material subsidiary, such as Philips Lighting with respect to the IPO Financing or cancellation or suspension of any commitment thereunder as a result of an event of default, in each case of at least EUR 40 million (in case of the undrawn revolving credit facility) or EUR 50 million (in case of a EUR 200 million drawn bank facility) also constitutes an event of default under those facilities.

As per 31 December 2016 Royal Philips was not in breach of the aforementioned conditions.

In May 2016, Philips Lighting entered into a five-year term loan facility agreement. The amounts of the term facility are EUR 740 million and USD 500 million and have been fully drawn to replace intra-group financing from Royal Philips.

In addition, Philips Lighting has a five-year committed revolving credit facility of EUR 500 million which will mature in May 2021. As of December 31, 2016, Philips Lighting did not have any amounts outstanding under this facility.

Philips Lighting’s Term and Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement include a financial covenant which provides that Philips Lighting must maintain a net leverage ratio not greater than 3:1 for any test period ending on or after December 31, 2016. As at 31 December 2016, this ratio was 0.5 which is compliant with the conditions of the covenant. In addition, the Term and Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement also contains customary undertakings. These undertakings include, among others, a negative pledge that provides that (subject to certain exceptions) no member of the Philips Lighting group may grant security over Philips Lighting’s assets without the consent of the lenders, and a restriction on subsidiaries of Philips Lighting (other than the obligors) incurring additional financial indebtedness. There are also restrictions (subject to certain exceptions and thresholds) on engaging in acquisitions, disposals and reorganizations. The facilities are guaranteed by Philips Lighting and certain subsidiaries of Philips Lighting incorporated in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, the People’s Republic of China, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

During 2013,2016, the weighted average interest rate on the bank borrowings was 6.4% (2012: 7.8%5.4% (2015: 1.6%).

In The increase was mainly driven by the Netherlands, the Company issued personnel debentures with a 5- year right of conversion into common shares of Koninklijke Philips NV. Convertible personnel debentures may not be converted within a period of 3 years after the date of issue. These convertible personnel debentures were available to most employees in the Netherlands and were purchased by them with their own funds and were redeemable on demand. The convertible personnel debentures become non-convertible debentures at the endrepayment of the conversion period.

Although convertible debentures have the character of long-term financing, the total outstanding amounts have been classified as current portion of long-term debt. At December 31, 2013 the conversion period ended, so none were outstanding (2012: EUR 12 million). The conversion price varied between EUR 14.2 and EUR 24.6bridge loan with various conversion periods ending between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. As of January 1, 2009, Philips no longer issues these debentures.

Furthermore, Philips has a USD 2.5 billion Commercial Paper Program and a EUR 1.8 billion revolving credit facility that can below interest rate used for general corporate purposes and as a backstop of its commercial paper program. In January 2013, the EUR 1.8 billion facility was extended by 2 years until February 18, 2018. As of December 31, 2013 Philips did not have any loans outstanding under either facility.

LOGOContingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets

In 1996, CIEM (Labor Union of Manaus) representing, among other companies Philips Brazil, filed a fiscal claim against Manaus Free Trade Zone Superintendence (SUFRAMA), in order to obtain a judicial declaration of the illegality and unconstitutionality of the Public Price tax, charged by SUFRAMA. The Lower Court ruled favorable for Philips.

In September 2007, Philips requested the Settlement of Declaratory Judgment, in order to refund the amounts unduly paid to SUFRAMA during 1992 to 1999. In August 2011, a ruling was issued to approve Philips credit for the amount of EUR 36 million (BRL 118 million). The estimated amount as of year-end 2013 is EUR 40 million (BRL 130 million), the increase explained by interest.

In December 2008, SUFRAMA filed the appeal against the decision issued in the records of the Settlement of Declaratory Judgment. The Regional Court unanimously upheld the Lower Court decision to reject SUFRAMA’s appeal. SUFRAMA filed two appeals against the Regional Court decision. One to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and the other to Supreme Court. Both appeals were denied. SUFRAMA filed a Bill of Review against the decision that denied both appeals. The appeal was admitted in STJ. The judgment is pending since October 2013. Final decision is expected in two years.

Contingent liabilities

Guarantees

Philips’ policy is to provide guarantees and other letters of support only in writing. Philips does not stand by other forms of support.

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 chemicals on the environment. The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental obligations when such losses are probable and reliably estimable. Such amounts are recognized on a discounted basis since they reflect the present value of estimated future cash flows.

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 andas well as changes in judgments assumptions, and discount rates.

The European Commission is looking into potential restrictions on online sales of consumer electronic productsabove schedule related to the Masimo Corporation (Masimo) patent litigation and small domestic appliances. Philips is fully cooperating with the European Commission.

Since the ultimate disposition of asserted claims and proceedings and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Provided below are disclosures of the more significant cases:Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) antitrust litigation.

Cathode-Ray Tubes (CRT)Masimo Corporation (Masimo) patent litigation

On November 21, 2007, the Company announced that competition law authoritiesOctober 1, 2014, a jury awarded USD 467 million to Masimo Corporation (Masimo) in several jurisdictions had commenced investigations into possible anticompetitive activities in the Cathode-Ray Tubes, or CRT industry.

authorities in Brazil and Hungary are continuing to pursue the matter against Philips and other defendants. Philips will respond to these allegations in 2014.

Subsequent to the public announcement of these investigations in 2007, certain Philips group companies were named as defendants in over 50 class action antitrust complaints filed in various federal district courts in the United States. These actions allege anticompetitive conduct by manufacturers of CRTs and seek treble damages on behalf of direct and indirect purchasers of CRTs and products incorporating CRTs. These complaints assert claims under federal antitrust law, as well as various state antitrust and unfair competition laws and may involve joint and several liability among the named defendants. These actions have been consolidated by the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation for pretrial proceedings intrial held before the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.Delaware. The decision by the jury completed an initial phase of a three-phase trial regarding a first lawsuit started by Masimo against the Company in 2009. A second lawsuit was started by Masimo against the Company in 2016. Between the two lawsuits, claims were raised by the parties against each other relating to patent infringement and antitrust violations in the field of pulse oximetry.

In 2012 a settlement agreement was approved betweenOn November 5, 2016, the Company and counsel for direct purchaser plaintiffs fully resolvingMasimo entered into a wide-ranging, multi-year business partnership involving both companies’ innovations in patient monitoring and therapy solutions, ending all claimspending lawsuits between the two companies, including releasing the Company from paying the USD 467 million jury verdict.

The Company and Masimo also have agreed to:

a USD 300 million cash payment by Philips to Masimo;

aone-time donation to the Masimo Foundation of USD 5 million to support the Masimo Foundation’s project on patient safety and better outcomes;

commitments of the direct purchaser class and obtaining a complete release by class members. Sixteen individual plaintiffs, principally large retailers of CRT products who sought exclusion from the direct purchaser class settlement, filed separate “opt-out” actions against Philips and other defendants based on the same substantive allegations as the putative class plaintiff complaints. These cases are consolidated for pre-trial purposes with the putative class actions in the Northern District of California and discovery is being coordinated. Philips’ motions to dismiss the complaints of the individual plaintiffs have been denied. Trials on the individual claims have not yet been scheduled.

On September 24, 2013 a class of indirect purchasers was certified pursuant to F.R.C.P. 23. Discovery is proceeding in the indirect purchaser action and a trial on these claims is currently scheduled for 2015. Philips intends to continue to vigorously defend these indirect purchaser and individual lawsuits.

In addition, the state attorneys general of California, Florida, Illinois, Oregon and Washington filed actions against Philips and other defendants seeking to recover damages on behalf of the states and, in parens patriae capacity, their consumers. In 2012 the Florida complaint was withdrawn. In 2013 a settlement agreement with the state attorney general of California has been approved. The actions brought by the state attorneys general of Illinois, Oregon and Washington are pending in the respective state courts of the plaintiffs. The Courts have not set trial dates and there is no timetable for the resolution of these cases. Philips intends to continue to vigorously defend these remaining lawsuits.

Certain Philips group companies have also been named as defendants, in proposed class proceedings in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, Canada, along with numerous other participants in the industry. At this time, no statement of defense has been filed, no certification motion has been scheduled and no class proceeding has been certified as against the Philips defendants. Philips intends to vigorously oppose these claims.

Due to the considerable uncertainty associated with certain of these matters, on the basis of current knowledge, the Company has concluded that potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to these matters. These investigationssales targets, marketing and product integration over the coming years of about USD 136 million.

Entering into the agreements resulted in a payment of USD 305 million (EUR 280 million) in November 2016, a release of litigation could haveprovisions of USD 86 million (EUR 79 million) and a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidatedliability reclassification from litigation provisions to other provisions of USD 136 million (EUR 125 million).

Optical Disc Drive (ODD)

On October 27, 2009, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice confirmed that it had initiated an investigation into possible anticompetitive practices in the Optical Disc Drive (ODD) industry. Philips Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp. (PLDS), a joint venture owned by the Company and Lite-On IT Corporation, as an ODD market participant, is included in this investigation. PLDS and the Company have been accepted under the Corporate Leniency program of the US Department of Justice and have continued to cooperate with the authorities in these investigations. On this basis, theThe Company expects to be immuneuse the provisions mainly within the next three years.

The main elements of other provisions are:

provisions for possible taxes/social security of EUR 131 million (2015: EUR 99 million);

onerous contract provisions for unfavorable supply contracts as part of divestment transactions, onerous (sub)lease contracts and expected losses on existing projects /orders totaling EUR 85 million (2015: EUR 106 million);

provisions for employee jubilee funds EUR 84 million (2015: EUR 71 million);

self-insurance provisions of EUR 77 million (2015: EUR 70 million);

provisions for decommissioning costs of EUR 48 million (2015: EUR 52 million);

provisions for rights of return of EUR 46 million (2015: EUR 52 million);

provisions for other employee benefits and obligatory severance payments of EUR 38 million (2015: EUR 47 million);

a reclassification from governmental fines.

In July 2012, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections addressed to (former) ODD suppliers including the Company. The European Commission granted the Company immunity from fines, conditional upon the Company’s continued cooperation. The Company respondedlitigation provisions which is linked to the Statement of Objections bothagreement with Masimo (see Litigation provisions in writing and at an oral hearing. PLDS is also subjectthis note).

Other provisions are expected to similar investigations outsidebe utilized mainly within the US and Europe relating to the ODD market. Where relevant, the Company is cooperating with the authorities.

Subsequent to the public announcement of these investigations in 2009, the Company, PLDS and Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions USA, Inc. (PLDS USA), among other industry participants, were named as defendants in numerous class action antitrust complaints filed in various federal district courts in the United States. These actions allege anticompetitive conduct by manufacturers of ODDs and seek treble damages on behalf of direct and indirect purchasers of ODDs and products incorporating ODDs. These complaints assert claims under federal antitrust law, as well as various state antitrust and unfair competition laws and may involve joint and several liability among the named defendants. These actions have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

Consolidated Amended Complaints were filed by direct and indirect purchasers. The defendants’ motions to dismiss these Complaints were denied and Philips has filed Answers to the Complaints. Discovery is proceeding. Plaintiffs filed motions seeking to certify the putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers under F.R.C.P. Rule 23 in May 2013, and Defendants have filed responses opposing class certification. Plaintiffs are scheduled to file reply briefs in February 2014, and oral argument will be scheduled after briefing is complete. In addition,next five individual entities have filed separate actions against the Company, PLDS, PLDS USA and other defendants. The allegations contained in these individual complaints are substantially identical to the allegations in the direct purchaser class complaints. The Company is in the process of submitting answers to these various individual complaints. All of these matters have been consolidated into the action in the Northern District of California for pre-trial purposes and discovery is being coordinated. The Company intends to vigorously defend all of the civil actions in the US courts.

Also, in June 2013, the State of Florida filed a separate complaint in the Northern District of California against the Company, PLDS, PLDS USA and other defendants containing largely the same allegations as the class and individual complaints. Florida seeks to recover damages sustained in its capacity as a buyer of ODDs and, in its parens patriae capacity, on behalf of its citizens. This case has been joined with the ODD class action cases in the Northern District of California for pre-trial purposes. The Company intends to seek dismissal of the Florida complaint. The Company and certain Philips group companies have also been named as defendants, in proposed class proceedings in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Manitoba, Canada along with numerous other participants in the industry. These complaints assert claims against various ODD manufacturers under federal competition laws as well as tort laws and may involve joint and several liability among the named defendants. Philips intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits.

Due to the considerable uncertainty associated with these matters, on the basis of current knowledge, the Company has concluded that potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to these matters. These investigations and litigation could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Smart card chips

Philips is part of an investigation by the European Commission into alleged anti-competitive conduct in the period September 2003 to September 2004 relating to the former Philips smart card chips business. This business was part of Philips’ former Product Division Semiconductors, which was divested in 2006. The European Commission issued its Statement of Objections on April 22, 2013. The Company responded to the Statement of Objections both in writing and at a hearing. Based on our current knowledge, the Company does not believe that this investigation will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.years, except for:

LOGOCash from (used for) derivatives and current financial assets

A total of EUR 93 million cash was paid with respect to foreign exchange derivative contracts related to financing activities (2012: EUR 47 million outflow; 2011: EUR 25 million inflow).

A total of EUR 8 million was paid with respect to current financial assets (2012: EUR 1 million inflow; 2011: EUR 1 million inflow).

LOGOPurchase and proceeds from non-current financial assets

In 2013, there were no significant cash flows resulting from investing activities.

In 2012, the cash outflow was mainly due to loans provided to TPV Technology Limited and TP Vision venture in connection with the divestment of the Television business (EUR 151 million in aggregate).

In 2011, the sale of Philips’ interest in TCL Corporation (TCL) and Digimarc generated cash totaling EUR 79 million.

LOGOAssets in lieu of cash from sale of businesses

In 2013, there were no transactions related to the sale of businesses that involved assets in lieu of cash.

In 2012, Philips received certain financial instruments in exchange for the transfer of its television business. At the date of this transaction the fair value of these financial instruments involved an amount of EUR 17 million.

In 2011, the Company entered into four transactions with different venture capital partners where certain incubator activities were transferred in exchange for shares in separately established investment entities. The investment entities represented a value of EUR 18 million at the date that these transactions were closed.

LOGOLOGO Post-employment benefits

Employee post-employment plans have been established in many countries in accordance with the legal requirements, customs and the local practice in the countries involved.

Most employees that take part in a Company pension plan are covered by defined-contribution (DC) pension plans. The Company also sponsors a number of defined-benefit (DB) pension plans. The benefits

Group financial statements 10.10

provided by these plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation levels. The Company also sponsors a limited number of defined-benefitDB retiree medical plans. The benefits provided by these plans are typically coveringcover a part of the healthcare insurance costs after retirement. Most employees that take part in a Company pension plan however are covered by defined-contribution (DC) pension plans.

The largest defined-benefitDB pension plans in 2016 are in;

The Netherlands,

The United Kingdom (UK) and

Thein the United States (US).and Germany.

Together theseThese plans account for more than 90%approximately 80% of the total defined- benefitdefined-benefit obligation (DBO) and plan assets.

The Netherlands

The pension plan in the Netherlands is of a defined-benefit nature. The annual accrual rate in this career average pay plan that covers all employees covered under the Collective Labour Agreement is 1.85% of the pension salary. Executives are in a ‘hybrid plan’ with an accrual rate of 1.25% per service year next to a DC contribution, the level of which depends on the executive grade. Both plans are executed by the Company Pension Fund.

Indexation of benefits is conditional and depends among others on the statutory and regulatory funding ratio of the Fund. The Company is required to fund the annual service cost plus surcharges for solvency requirements, costs and a contribution for indexation. The Company is required to pay additional surcharges in case the funded status of the Company Pension Fund drops below an agreed level. The Company is entitled to discounts and refunds if the funded status of the Company Pension Fund exceeds an agreed surplus level.

Following the new Collective Labour Agreement with the respective trade unions in 2013 a new funding agreement has been agreed with the Trustees of the Company Pension Fund. Under the new funding agreement, which becomes effective January 1, 2014, the Company has no further financial obligation to the Pension Fund other than to pay an agreed fixed contribution for the annual accrual of active members. Although the new funding agreement will de-risk the plan, the annual premium can be subject to variability after five years due to potential discounts and as a result, the plan continues to be accounted for as a defined benefit plan. The other changes in the plan are a new pensionable age of 67 (was 65) and the introduction of an employee contribution. These changes had practically no impact on the existing defined benefit obligation. For further details we refer to note 36, Subsequent events.

United Kingdom

The UK plan is executed by a Company Pension Fund. In the UK plan the accrual of new benefits ceased in 2011. A legally mandatory indexation for accrued benefits still applies. The Company does not pay regular contributions, other than an agreed portion of the administration costs.

The UK plan assets until September 2013 contained a high concentration of NXP shares. The NXP shares were transferred to the Fund by the Company in 2010 as part of a recovery plan and have by now all been sold by the UK Fund. In 2013 the Trustee of the UK Fund entered into a bulk insurance contract - a buy-in - which provides for payment in respect of a part of the Fund’s pensioners. The asset value related to this buy-in included in the UK plan assets equals the defined-benefit obligation of the related pensioners and is EUR 508 million per December 31, 2013.

United States

The US defined-benefit plan covers certain hourly workers and salaried workers hired before January 1, 2005.

The accrual for salaried workers in the US plan will end per December 31, 2015. The announcement in 2013 of this delayed freeze in the US plan triggered a past service cost gain of EUR 78 million. In the same US plan in 2013 a large group of terminated vested employees accepted a lump-sum offering thus lowering the plan assets and liabilities. The related settlement result was a loss of EUR 31 million.

pension plans are closed plans without further pension accrual. Indexation of benefits is not mandatory. The Company pays contributions for the annual service costs as well as additional contributions to cover a deficit. The assets of the US planfunded pension plans are in a TrustTrusts governed by Trustees. The excess pension plans that covered accrual above the maximum salary of the funded plan are unfunded. De-risking contributions to the funded plans in 2016 amounted to EUR 242 million.

During 2016, in line with the split of the Company, two new Trusts were created covered by ERISA section 4044, which ensures an appropriate split of the plan assets, among others based on the maturity of the respective plans. A group of active employees who opted for a settlement of their rights via a lump sum or via the purchase of an insured annuity contract remained in the original Trust. To enable the settlements the Company provided for additional funding to the original Trust of EUR 14 million on top of thede-risking contributions. The difference between the related DBO and the lump sums paid and the annuity purchase price at transfer date was a EUR 2 million gain which is recognized as a settlement income in the income statement.

In 2016 the Company adopted the new mortality table RP2014-MP2016 for all US plans except for the unfunded excess plan where RP2006-MP2016 + white collar adjustment is the new table adopted. The new tables lowered the DBO by EUR 45 million. The new table published by the US Society of Actuaries adds 5 years of extra observation compared to MP2014 (the previous mortality table) and reconfirmed that the actual improvement in longevity is lower than assumed earlier.

Germany

The Company has several DB plans in Germany which for the largest part are unfunded, meaning that after retirement the Company is responsible for the annuity payments to retirees.

Due to the relatively high level of social security, the Company pension plans mainly provide benefits for the higher earners. Although the benefit design is of a DC type the German plans even when externally funded are accounted for as DB plans due to a minimum return requirement.

Company pension commitments in Germany are covered against employer bankruptcy via the “Pensions Sicherungs Verein” which charges a fee to all companies providing pension promises in a year a claim is paid.

Philips is one of the sponsors of Philips Pensionskasse VVaG in Germany, which is a multi-employer plan. The plan is accounted for as a DC plan.

Pension-related claim in the UK

In 2016 the UK Trustees and the Company succeeded in settling a pension-related legal claim against third parties. The Company and the Fund in the financing of thebuy-out in 2015 already anticipated a future claim being awarded. As a result of this settlement the Company received EUR 46 million, recognized as a pension settlement gain in 2016.

This legal settlement did not affect part or all of the benefits provided under the respective plans, as all further legal or constructive obligations for these benefits were already eliminated during the plan settlements in 2015.

Significant events in 2015

2015 included settlement costs of EUR 329 million mainly related to the settlement of the UK plan, results of otherde-risking actions in the UK prior to the settlement and the settlement of parts of the US pension plan. Past-service costs of EUR 14 million were recognized related tode-risking actions taken in the UK prior to the settlement of the plan, including a past-service cost for GMP Equalization in the same UK plan. Some smaller plan changes in other countries resulted in a small past-service cost gain.

The classification of the pension plan in the Netherlands changed in 2015 from a DB plan into a DC plan, triggering a settlement of the plan which at the time had a surplus of EUR 20 million. As the surplus was not recognized on the balance sheet due to the asset ceiling and because no further payments were made directly related to the settlement, as per the Company’s accounting policy, the Company did not recognize a settlement result in the income statement but in remeasurements for pensions in the Consolidated statements of Comprehensive Income.

Risks related to defined-benefit plans

TheseThe remaining defined-benefit 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 andbut more importantly in the UK plansome countries like Germany where indexation of pensions is mandatory. Pension fund Trustees are responsible for and have full discretion over the investment strategy of the plan assets. In general Trustees manage pension fund risks by diversifying the investments of plan assets and by (partially) matching interest rate risk of liabilities.

Annual Report 2016      169


Group financial statements 10.10

The Company has an active deriskingde-risking strategy in which it constantly looks for opportunities to reduce the risks associated with its defined benefitdefined-benefit plans. Liability drivenLiability-driven investment strategies, lump sumcash-out options,buy-ins,buy-outs and the above mentioneda change in the funding of the Dutch planto DC are examples of thatthe strategy.

The larger plans are either governed by independent Boards or by Trustees who have a legal obligation to evenly balance the interests of all stakeholders and operate under the local regulatory framework.

Balance sheet positions

The net balance sheet position presented in this note can be explained as follows:

The surpluses in our plans in The Netherlands, UK as well some other countries are not recognized as a net defined benefit asset because in The Netherlands the current surplus will not bring sufficient future economic benefits to the Company (asset ceiling restrictions) whereas the regulatory framework in the other countries involved explicitly prohibits refunds to the employer.

The deficit of the US defined-benefit plan presented under other liabilities and the provisions of the unfunded plans therefore count for the largest part of the net balance sheet position.

The measurement date for all defined-benefit plans is December 31.

The assets in 2013 contain 14% (2012: 11%) unquoted assets, the increase compared to 2012 mainly related to the buy-in value in the UK plan. Plan assets in 2013 do not include property occupied by or financial instruments issued by the Company

Assumptions

The mortality tables used for the Company’s major schemes are:

Netherlands: Prognosis table 2012-2062 including experience rating TW2012.

United Kingdom retirees: SAPS 2002- Core CMI 2011 projection

United States: RP2000 CH Fully Generational

The weighted averages of the assumptions used to calculate the defined- benefit obligations as of December 31 were as follows:

Discount rate

   3.3  4.1  3.4  4.5

Rate of compensation increase

   *    3.3  *    3.2

*The rate of compensation increase for the Netherlands consists of a general compensation increase and an individual salary increase based on merit, seniority and promotion. In 2013 the Company determined new turnover- and disability rates and individual salary rates for all active participants based on the period 2010-2012. The individual increase at the average age of 45 is 1.75% (2012 0.75% for CLA A). The indexation assumption used to calculate the defined benefit obligations for the Netherlands is 1.0% (2012: 1.0%).

The (average) duration of the DBO of the pension plans is 15 years for the Netherlands (2012: 14 years) and 11 years for other countries (2012: 11 years).

Investment policy in our largest pension plans

It must be acknowledged thatThe trustees of the Philips pension plans are responsible for and have full discretion over the investment strategy of the plan assets.

The objective of the liability hedging portfolio of the Philips pension plan in the Netherlands is to match part of the interest rate sensitivity of the plan’s inflation-linked pension liabilities (based on a 2% inflation assumption). The liability hedging portfolio is mainly invested in euro- denominated government bonds, investment grade debt securities and long-duration interest rate swaps. The size of the liability hedging portfolio is targeted to be at least 64% of the fair value of the plan’s inflation-linked pension liabilities. The objective of the return portfolio is to maximize investment returns within well-specified risk constraints.

The Philips pension plan in the United Kingdom operates a fixed income portfolio that aims to fully hedge the interest rate and inflation rate sensitivities of the fair value of the plan’s pension liabilities. Part of the portfolio is invested in a buy-in policy, in which an insurance company guarantees all future benefit payments to the plan, thereby matching the investment and longevity risks of the pension liabilities covered in the buy-in policy.

The plan assets of the Philips pension planplans in the United StatesUS are invested in a well diversified portfolio.portfolios. The interest rate sensitivity of the fixed income portfolio is closely aligned to that of the plan’s pension liabilities. Any contributions from the sponsoring company are used to further increase the fixed income part of the assets. As part of the investment strategy, any additional investment returns of the return portfolio are used to further decrease the interest rate mismatch between the plan assets and the pension liabilities.

Balance sheet positions

The net balance sheet position presented in this note can be explained as follows:

The surplus in our plan in Brazil is not recognized as a net defined-benefit asset because in Brazil the regulatory framework prohibits refunds to the employer.

The deficits of the externally funded US defined-benefit plans and the unfunded plans in the US and Germany account for the largest part of the net balance sheet position.

The measurement date for all DB plans is December 31.

The employer contributions to defined benefit pension plans are expected to amount to(US: EUR 22312 million, for the Netherlands andOther EUR 194 million for other countries. The Company continues to fund a part of the existing deficit in the US pension plan in 2014, which amount is included in the amounts aforementioned. 6 million).

For the funding of the deficit in the US plan the Group adheres to the minimum funding requirements of the US Pension Protection Act. The UK plan is currently in a surplus on a regulatory basis and does not require any funding in 2014 other than the agreed administration cost.

The funding of the pension fund in the Netherlands for 2014 consists of a fixed percentage of payroll which applies for a period of 5 years. The additional contribution to the pension fund for the Netherlands is not included in the above figures. For further details we refer to note 36, Subsequent events. It is noted that the (majority of the) contribution will need to be written off through Other comprehensive income due to the asset ceiling restrictions in the pension plan in the Netherlands.

The service and administration cost for 20142017 is expected to amount to EUR 25641 million consisting of EUR 255 millionfully for defined-benefit pension plans and EUR 1 million for defined-benefit retiree medical plans.

Sensitivity analysis

The table below illustrates the approximate impact on the defined-benefit obligation if the Company were to changeDBO 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 above sensitivity table illustrates the impact on the defined-benefit obligationDBO of a further 10% decrease in the assumed rates of mortality for the Company’s major schemes. A 10% decrease in assumed mortality rates equals improvement of life expectancy by 0.5 - 1 year.

LOGO Cash flow statement supplementary information

Cash used for derivatives and current financial assets

In 2016, a total of EUR 132 million cash was paid with respect to foreign exchange derivative contracts related to activities for liquidity management and funding (2015: EUR 193 million outflow; 2014: EUR 13 million outflow).

Purchase and proceeds fromnon-current financial assets

In 2016, the net cash outflow of EUR 45 million was mainly due to the acquisition of stakes in Abraaj Growth Markets Fund.

In 2015, the net cash inflow of EUR 32 million was mainly due to the sale of stakes in Silicon & Software Systems and other equity interests.

In 2014, the net cash inflow of EUR 26 million was mainly due to the sale of stakes in Neusoft, Chimei Innolux, and Sapiens, offset by loans provided to TPV Technology Limited.

Bank error

On December 30, 2016 a financial institution erroneously transferred EUR 150 million of cash to the Philips Lighting bank account. On January 2, 2017 the transfer was reversed by all parties involved for the full amount with retrospective effect to December 30, 2016. As the transaction lacks economic substance and Philips Lighting never had any exposure or benefit, the transaction has not been accounted for in these financial statements.

Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT)

On November 21, 2007, the Company announced that competition law authorities in several jurisdictions had commenced investigations into possible anticompetitive activities in the Cathode Ray Tubes, or CRT industry. On December 5, 2012, the European Commission issued a decision imposing fines on (former) CRT manufacturers including the Company. The European Commission imposed a fine of EUR 313 million on the Company and a fine of EUR 392 million jointly and severally on the Company and LG Electronics, Inc. In total a payable of EUR 509 million was recognized in 2012 and the fine was paid in the first quarter of 2013. The Company appealed the decision of the European Commission with the General Court which appeal was denied on September 9, 2015. On November 23, 2015 the Company lodged an appeal against the decision of the General Court with the European Court of Justice.

United States

Subsequent to the public announcement of these investigations in 2007, certain Philips Group companies were named as defendants in class action antitrust complaints by direct and indirect purchasers of CRTs filed in various federal district courts in the United States. These actions alleged anticompetitive conduct by manufacturers of CRTs and sought treble damages on a joint and several liability basis. In addition, sixteen individual plaintiffs, principally large retailers of CRT products who opted out of the direct purchaser class, filed separate complaints against the Company and other defendants based on a service condition (restricted shares);

rights to receive common shares in the future based on performance and service conditions (performance shares).

11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

Restricted shares and options were granted to members of the Board of Management and other members of the Executive Committee, executives and certain selected employees. Options were last granted in January 2013. Restricted shares are still granted to new employees or certain selected employees.

Furthermore, in January 2012 and 2013, as part of the Accelerate! program, the Company has granted the following:

options on its common shares (Accelerate! options);

rights to receive common shares in the future (Accelerate! shares).

These Accelerate! options and shares were granted to a group of approximately 500 key employees below the level of Board of Management in January 2012 and to the Board of Management in January 2013.

In May 2013 a new long-term incentive plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders granting performance shares to members of the Board of Management and other members of the Executive Committee, executives and certain selected employees.

USD-denominated options, restricted and performance shares are granted to employeessame substantive allegations. All these actions have been consolidated forpre-trial proceedings in the United States only.

Share-based compensation costs were EUR 109 million (EUR 91 million, netDistrict Court for the Northern District of tax), EUR 86 million (EUR 75 million, net of tax) and EUR 55 million (EUR 57 million, net of tax) in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.California.

Option plansThe Company reached settlements with both the direct purchaser plaintiffs and indirect purchaser plaintiffs fully resolving all claims of the direct and indirect purchaser class. The direct purchaser settlement was approved by the court in 2012, while the indirect purchaser settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in 2016 and is now pending before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In the past years the Company also reached settlements with a number of the individual plaintiffs resolving all claims by those retailers on a global basis. The settlements reached to date represent the vast majority of CRT sales attributed to the Company by the individual plaintiffs. In effect, all cases originally scheduled for trial in the Northern District of California have now been resolved, leaving unresolved certain of the cases that were consolidated in the California case forpre-trial purposes that have to be transferred back to their original venue for further proceedings. Trial dates have not yet been set for those cases.

In addition, the state attorneys general of California, Florida, Illinois, Oregon and Washington filed actions against the Company and other defendants seeking to recover damages on behalf of the states and, acting as parens patriae, their consumers. In 2012 the Florida complaint was withdrawn. In 2013 a settlement agreement was reached with the state attorney general of California that has been approved subject to review by the California Court of Appeal. In 2016, settlements were reached with the state attorneys general of Illinois and Oregon which settlements are awaiting final approval in their respective state courts. The action brought by the state attorney of Washington is pending; a trial date has not been set.

Canada

In 2007, certain Philips Group companies were also being named as defendants in proposed class proceedings in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, Canada, along with numerous other participants in the industry. After years of inactivity, in 2014, plaintiffs in the Ontario action initiated the class certification proceedings leading to class certification in the second half of 2016.

Other civil claims related to CRT

In 2014, the Company was named as a defendant in a consumer class action lawsuit filed in Israel in which damages are claimed against several defendants based on alleged anticompetitive activities in the CRT industry. In addition, an electronics manufacturer filed a claim against the Company and several co- defendants with a court in the Netherlands, also seeking compensation for the alleged damage sustained as a result from the alleged anticompetitive activities in the CRT industry. In 2015, the Company became involved in further civil CRT antitrust litigation with previous CRT customers in the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil and Denmark. In all cases the same substantive allegations about anticompetitive activities

176      Annual Report 2016

in the CRT industry are made and damages are sought. The Company has received indications that more civil claims may be filed in due course.

Except for what has been provided or accrued for as disclosed innote 19, Provisions andnote 22, Other liabilities, the Company has concluded that due to the considerable uncertainty associated with certain of these matters, on the basis of current knowledge, potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to these matters.

Optical Disc Drive (ODD)

On October 27, 2009, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice confirmed that it had initiated an investigation into possible anticompetitive practices in the Optical Disc Drive (ODD) industry. PhilipsLite-On Digital Solutions Corp. (PLDS), a joint venture owned by the Company andLite-On IT Corporation, as an ODD market participant, is included in this investigation. PLDS and the Company have been accepted under the Corporate Leniency program of the US Department of Justice and have continued to cooperate with the authorities in these investigations. On this basis, the Company expects to be immune from governmental fines.

In July 2012, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections addressed to (former) ODD suppliers including the Company and PLDS. The European Commission granted the Company and PLDS immunity from fines, conditional upon the Company’s continued cooperation. The Company responded to the Statement of Objections both in writing and at an oral hearing. On October 21, 2015 the European Commission issued its fining decisions in which it granted immunity to the Company,Lite-On IT Corporation and PLDS.

The antitrust authority in one remaining jurisdiction is still investigating the matter.

Subsequent to the public announcement of these investigations in 2009, the Company, PLDS and Philips &Lite-On Digital Solutions USA, Inc. (PLDS USA), among other industry participants, were named as defendants in numerous class action antitrust complaints filed in various federal district courts in the United States. These actions allege anticompetitive conduct by manufacturers of ODDs and seek treble damages on behalf of direct and indirect purchasers of ODDs and products incorporating ODDs. These actions have been consolidated forpre-trial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Initially the plaintiffs’ applications for certification of both the direct and indirect purchaser classes were denied.

In September 2015, PLDS entered into a settlement agreement with the direct purchaser plaintiffs under which the Company was released from the direct purchaser claims. In December 2016, PLDS reached a settlement with the indirect purchaser plaintiffs which is subject to court approval. Under the Company’s plans, optionssettlement, the Company will be released from the indirect purchaser claims.

In addition, various individual entities have filed separate actions against the Company, PLDS, PLDS USA and other defendants. The allegations contained in these individual complaints are granted at fair market valuesubstantially identical to the allegations in the direct purchaser class complaints. All of these matters have been consolidated into the action in the Northern District of California forpre-trial purposes and discovery is being coordinated.

Also, in June 2013, the State of Florida filed a separate complaint in the Northern District of California against the Company, PLDS, PLDS USA and other defendants containing largely the same allegations as the class and individual complaints. Florida seeks to recover damages sustained in its capacity as a buyer of ODDs and, in itsparens patriaecapacity, on behalf of its citizens. In December 2016, PLDS reached a settlement with the datestate attorney general of grant.Florida, which settlement is subject to court approval. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company is also released from the Florida state attorney general’s claim.

The Company granted optionsand certain Philips Group companies have also been named as defendants, in proposed class proceedings in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada along with numerous other participants in the industry. These complaints assert claims against various ODD manufacturers under federal competition laws as well as tort laws and may involve joint and several liability among the named defendants. Philips intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits. Plaintiffs in the British Columbia case have proceeded with their application to certify that expire after 10 years. Generally, these options vest after 3 years, provided the granteeproceeding as a class action. The hearing was held in January 2015. The Court’s decision on class certification is still employedpending.

Furthermore, in the second half of 2016 the Company was named as defendant in a class action in Israel based on allegations similar to the class actions in the United States.

Due to the considerable uncertainty associated with these matters, on the Company. A limited numberbasis of options grantedcurrent knowledge, the Company has concluded that potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to certain employeesthese matters.

The assumptions were used for these calculations only and do not necessarily represent an indication of Management’s expectations of future developments.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.

The Company has based its volatility assumptions on historical experience for a period equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life of the options is also based upon historical experience.

The Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

On January 28, 2014 the Supervisory Board resolved that all performance targets under the Accelerate! program, which were based on the 2013 mid- term financial targets, have been met. This means that in accordance with IFRS accounting requirements the Accelerate! shares vested and that at December 31, 2013 there are no unrecognized compensation costs to both EUR and USD Accelerate! shares. After delivery an additional two-year holding period applies, except for Accelerate! shares granted to the Board of Management of which after delivery an additional four-year holding period applies.

Performance shares

The performance is measured over a three-year performance period. The performance shares have two performance conditions, relative Total Shareholders’ Return compared to a peer group of 21 companies and adjusted Earnings Per Share growth. The performance shares vest three years after the grant date. The number of performance shares that will vest is dependent on achieving the two performance conditions, which are equally weighted, and provided that the grantee is still employed with the Company.

The fair value of the performance shares is measured based on Monte- Carlo simulation and the following weighted average assumptions:

LOGOLOGO Share-based compensation

The purpose of the share-based compensation plans is to align the interests of management with those of shareholders by providing incentives to improve the Company’s performance on a long-term basis, thereby increasing shareholder value.

The Company has the following plans:

performance shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on performance and service conditions;

restricted shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on a service condition; and

options on its common shares, including the 2012 and 2013 Accelerate! grant.

Since 2013 the Board of Management and other members of the Executive Committee are only granted performance shares. Restricted shares are granted to executives, certain selected employees and new employees. Prior to 2013 options were also granted.

Furthermore, as part of the Accelerate! program, the Company has granted options (Accelerate! options) to a group of approximately 500 key employees below the level of Board of Management in January 2012 and to the Board of Management in January 2013.

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 119 million (2015: EUR 99 million, 2014: EUR 85 million). This includes the employee stock purchase plan of 5 million, which is not a share-based compensation that affects equity. The share-based compensation costs for staff belonging to the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive of EUR 6 million are included in Discontinued operations. In the consolidated

statements of changes in equity EUR 119 million is recognized in 2016 related to the share-based compensation plans. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for forfeiture.USD-denominated performance shares, restricted shares and options are granted to employees in the United States only.

Performance shares

The performance is measured over a three-year performance period. The performance shares have two performance conditions, relative Total Shareholders’ Return compared to a peer group of 20 companies (2015: 21 companies, 2014: 21 companies) and adjusted Earnings Per Share growth. The performance shares vest three years after the grant date. The number of performance shares that will vest is dependent on achieving the two performance conditions, which are equally weighted, and provided that the grantee is still employed with the Company.

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for actual performance of adjusted Earnings Per Share growth since this is anon-market performance condition. It is not adjusted fornon-vesting or extra vesting of performance shares due to a relative Total Shareholders’ Return 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, the market conditions expected to impact relative Total Shareholders’ Return performance in relation to selected peers, and the following weighted-average assumptions:

During 2015 the last release of these restricted share rights took place. However, if the shares from the restricted share rights release were kept for another 3 years, members of the Board of Management receivedso-called ‘premium shares’. As at December 31, 2016, awarded premium shares amounted to 4,002 for F.A. van Houten, 419 for A. Bhattacharya and 1,797 for P.A.J. Nota (all to be released in 2017 and 2018). The premium shares to A. Bhattacharya result from restricted share rights grants awarded before date of appointment as a member of the Board of Management.

LOGOLOGO Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will ultimately be realized by the Company upon maturity or disposal. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

For cash and cash equivalents, current receivables, accounts payable, interest accrual and short-term debts, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments, and therefore fair value information is not included in the table below.

The fair value of Philips’ debt is estimated on the basis of the quoted market prices for certain issues, or on the basis of discounted cash flow analysis based upon market rates plus Philips’ spread for the particular tenors of the borrowing arrangement. Accrued interest is not included within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

Level 1

Instruments included in level 1 are comprised primarily of listed equity investments classified as available-for-saleavailable-for- sale financial assets, investees and financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss.

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.

Annual Report 2013      209


LOGO 11 Group financial statements 11.9 - 11.9

Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counterover-the- counter derivatives or convertible bond instruments) are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 2.

The fair value of derivatives is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread and foreign exchange rates.

The valuation of convertible bond instruments uses observable market quoted data for the options and present value calculations using observable yield curves for the fair value of the bonds.

Level 3

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, such as third-party pricing information without adjustments, the instrument is included in level 3.

The arrangement with the UK Pension Fund in conjunction with the sale of NXP is a financial instrument carried at fair value classified as level 3. At the end of 2013, the fair value of this instrument is estimated to be EUR 7 million with the changes of fair value recorded to financial income and expense. Please refer to note 14, Other non-current financial assets for more details.

Furthermore, deferred consideration and loan extension options to TP Vision are also included in level 3. On January 20, 2014, Philips has signed a term sheet to transfer its remaining 30% stake in TP Vision, which will also impact the above commitments. For further information, please refer to note 36, Subsequent events.

The section below elaborates on transactions in derivatives. Transactions in derivatives are subject to master netting andset-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 (orclose-out amount).

LOGOLOGO Details of treasury / other financial risks

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risk.risks. This note further analyzes financial risks. Philips does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Information regarding financial instruments is included innote 34,29, 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 on a short and long termlong-term basis. Group Treasury invests surplus cash in money market deposits with appropriate maturities to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet liabilities when due.

The rating of the Company’s debt by major rating services may improve or deteriorate. As a result, Philips’ future borrowing capacity may be influenced and its financing costs may fluctuate. Philips has various sources to mitigate the liquidity risk for the group. At December 31, 2013,2016, Philips had EUR 2,4652,334 million in cash and cash equivalents (2012:(2015: EUR 3,8341,766 million), within which short-term deposits of EUR 1,7141,299 million (2012:(2015: EUR 3,177855 million) and other liquid assets of EUR 1853 million (2012:(2015: EUR 120171 million).

Furthermore, Royal Philips has a USD 2.5 billion Commercial Paper Program and a EUR 1.8 billion revolving credit facility that can be used for general group purposepurposes and as a backstop for its commercial paper program. In January 2013 the EUR 1.8 billion facility was extended by 2 years until February 18, 2018. The facility has no financial covenants and repetitive material adverse change clauses and can be used for general group purposes. As of December 31, 2013,2016, Royal Philips did not have any amounts outstanding under any of these facilities. A description of Philips’ credit facilities, including any covenants, can be found in note18, Debt.

Additionally, Philips also held EUR 6536 million of equity investments inavailable-for-sale financial assets (fair value at December 31, 2013)2016).

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. CurrencyPhilips 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 forecastedanticipated sales and purchases andon-balance-sheet receivables/payables resulting from such transactions

Translation exposure of net income in foreign entities

 

Translation exposure of foreign-currency intercompany and external debt and deposits

 

Translation exposure of foreign-currency-denominatednet income in foreign entities

Translation exposure of foreign-currency- denominated equity invested in consolidated companies

 

Translation exposure to equity interests in non-functional-currencynon- functional-currency investments in associates andavailable-for-sale financial assets.

It is Philips’ policy that significant transactionto reduce the potentialyear-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 by the businesses. Accordingly, all businesses are requiredduring a period of 15 months in layers of 20% up to identifya maximum hedge of 80%, using forwards and measure their exposures resulting from material transactions denominated in currencies other than their own functional currency.currency options. Philips’ policy generally requires significant committed foreign currency exposures to be fully hedged, generally using forwards. Anticipated transactionsHowever, not every foreign currency can or shall be hedged as there may be hedged using forwardsregulatory barriers or options prohibitive hedging cost preventing Philips from effectively and/or a combination thereof. The amount hedged as a proportion of the total anticipated exposure identified varies per business and is a function of the ability to project cash flows, the time horizon for the cash flows and the way in which the businesses can adapt to changing levels of foreign-currency exchange rates.efficiently hedging its currency exposures. As a result, hedging activities cannot and will not eliminate all currency risks for theseanticipated and committed transaction exposures.

During 2015 Philips has changed its hedging policy with regard to anticipated transaction exposures. Generally,The previous hedging policy focused on protecting against changes in value of forecasted individual transactions and cash flows. Under the maximum tenorprevious policy the hedging ratio and period were set by individual businesses based on their ability to forecast cash flows, the time horizon for the cash flows and their ability to adapt to changing levels of these hedges is 18 months.foreign currency rates.

The derivatives related to transactions are, for hedge accounting purposes, split into hedges of on-balance-sheeton-balance- sheet accounts receivable/payable and forecasted sales and purchases. Changes in the value of on-balance-sheeton- 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, 2013,2016, a gain of EUR 2410 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges. The result deferred in equity will be released to earnings mostly during 20142017 at the time when the related hedged transactions affect the income statement. During 2013,2016, a net gainloss of EUR 5 million was recorded in the consolidated statement of income as a result of ineffectiveness on certain anticipated cash flow hedges.

The total net fair value of hedges related to transaction exposure as of December 31, 20132016, was an unrealized asset of EUR 4415 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the euroEUR against all currencies would lead to a decreasean increase of EUR 6898 million in the value of the derivatives; including a EUR 58 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the US dollar against the euro, a EUR 15 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the Japanese yen against euro, a EUR 15 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the Pound sterling, partially offset by a EUR 46 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the euroUSD against the US dollar.EUR, a EUR 18 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the JPY against the EUR, a EUR 10 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the GBP against the EUR and a EUR 5 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the AUD against the EUR.

The EUR 6898 million decreaseincrease includes a lossgain of EUR 1918 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 lossgain of EUR 4980 million would be recognized in equity to the extent that the cash flow hedges were effective.

The total net fair value of hedges related to transaction exposure as of December 31, 20122015, was an unrealized asset of EUR 2517 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the euroEUR against all currencies would lead to a decreasean increase of EUR 6966 million in the value of the derivatives; including a EUR 9625 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the USD against the EUR, a EUR 18 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the GBP against the EUR, a EUR 14 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the JPY, and a EUR 7 million increase related to PLN. This was partially offset by a EUR 34 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the US dollarEUR against the euro, a EUR 17 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the Japanese yen against euro, a EUR 8 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the Pound sterling, partially offset by a EUR 69 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the euro against the US dollar.USD.

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 either recognized within financial income and expenses in the statements of income, accounted for as cash flow hedges, or where such loans would be considered part of the net investment in the subsidiary, then net investment hedging would be applied. Translation exposure of foreign-currency equity invested in consolidated entities may be 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 EUR 1,234 million relates to the positive impact of the weaker EUR against the foreign currencies of countries in which Philips’ operations are located, partially offset by net investment hedging instruments. The change in currency translation reserve was mostly related to development of the USD.

During 2016 a total gain of EUR 0.2 million was recognized in the income statement as ineffectiveness on net investment hedges. The total net fair value of these financing derivatives as of December 31, 2016, was a liability of EUR 728 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 53 million in the value of the derivatives, including a EUR 62 million increase related to the USD.

As of December 31, 2015, cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts with a fair value liability of EUR 261812 million and external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 4,059 million were designated as net investment hedges of our financing investments in foreign operations.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Philips had outstanding debt of EUR 3,9015,606 million, which created an inherent interest rate risk. Failure to effectively hedge this risk could negatively impact financial results. Atyear-end, Philips held EUR 2,4652,334 million in cash and cash equivalents, and had total long-term debt of EUR 3,3094,021 million and total short-term debt of EUR 5921,585 million. At December 31, 2013,2016, Philips had a ratio of fixed-rate long-term debt to total outstanding debt of approximately 80%70%, compared to 72%68% one year earlier.

A sensitivity analysis conducted as of January 20142017 shows that if long-term interest rates were to decrease instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2013,2016, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the long-term debt would increase by approximately EUR 317260 million. If there was an increase of 1% in long-term interest rates, this would reduce the market value of the long-term debt by approximately EUR 251259 million.

If interest rates were to increase instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2013,2016, with all other variables held constant, the annualized net interest expense would decrease by approximately EUR 187 million. This impact was based on the outstanding net cash position at December 31, 2013.2016.

A sensitivity analysis conducted as of January 20132016 shows that if long-term interest rates were to decrease instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2012,2015, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the long-term debt would increase by approximately EUR 422303 million. If there was an increase of 1% in long-term interest rates, this would reduce the market value of the long-term debt by approximately EUR 339302 million.

If interest rates were to increase instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2012,2015, with all other variables held constant, the annualized net interest expense would decreaseincrease by approximately EUR 251 million. This impact was based on the outstanding net cash position at December 31, 2012.2015.

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 severalsome publicly listed companies, including Chimei Innolux, Shenyang Neusoft Corporation Ltd, and TPV Technology Ltd.Corindus Vascular Robotics. As a result, Philips is exposed to potential financial loss through movements in their share prices. The aggregate equity price exposure in its main available-for-salesuch financial assets amounted to approximately EUR 6535 million atyear-end 2013 (2012: 2016 (2015: EUR 120 million including investments in associates shares that were sold during 2012) and a further EUR 62 million that has been reclassified as assets held for sale in relation to the agreed contribution to the Dutch Pension Fund (please refer to note 36, Subsequent events)75 million). Philips does not hold derivatives in its own stockshares or in the above-mentioned listed companies. Philips is also a shareholderhas shareholdings in several privately-owned companies amounting to EUR 50105 million. As a result, Philips is exposed to potential value adjustments.

As part of the sale of shares in NXP to Philips Pension Trustees Limited there was an arrangement that may entitle Philips to a cash payment from the UK Pension Fund on or after September 7, 2014 if the value of the NXP shares has increased by this date to a level in excess of a predetermined threshold, which at the time of the transaction was substantially above the transaction price, and the UK Pension Fund is in surplus (on the regulatory funding basis) on September 7, 2014.

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 hedges certain commodity price risks using derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by commodity price volatility. The commodity price derivatives that Philips enters into are accounted for as cash flow hedges to offset forecasted purchases. As of December 2013,2016, Philips does not have any outstanding commodity derivatives.

As of December 2015, a loss of EUR 2.20.2 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges. A 10% increase in the market price of all commodities as of December 31, 20132015, would increase the fair value of the derivatives by less than EUR 1.40.1 million.

As of December 2012, a loss of EUR 0.3 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges. A 10% increase in the market price of all commodities as of December 31, 2012 would increase the fair value of the derivatives by EUR 2 million.

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. To have better insights into the credit exposures, Philips performs ongoing evaluations of the financial andnon-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 ofnon-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 whomwhich 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 from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Services. 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.

Country risk

Country risk is the risk that political, legal, or economic developments in a single country could adversely impact our performance. The country risk per country is defined as the sum of the equity of all subsidiaries and associated companies in country cross-border transactions, such as intercompany loans, accounts receivable from third parties and intercompany accounts receivable. The country risk is monitored on a regular basis.

As of December 31, 2013,2016, the Company had country risk exposure of EUR 7.810.5 billion in the United States, EUR 2.5 billion in Belgium and EUR 1.51.8 billion in China (including Hong Kong)., EUR 1.3 billion in Netherlands and EUR 756 million in Singapore. Other countries higher than EUR 500 million are United KingdomGermany (EUR 673775 million), Japan (EUR 608671 million), United Kingdom (EUR 625 million), Belgium (EUR 523 million) and the NetherlandsPoland (EUR 517508 million). Countries where the risk exceeded EUR 300 million but was less than EUR 500 million are Poland, GermanyMalaysia, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia.India. 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.

Other insurable risks

Philips is covered for a broad range of losses by global insurance policies in the areas of property damage/business interruption, general and product liability, transport, directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practice liability, crime and aviation product liability.cyber security. The counterparty risk related to the insurance companies participating in the above mentionedabove-mentioned global insurance policies areis actively managed. As a rule, Philips only selects insurance companies with aan S&P credit rating of at leastA-. 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. Regularon-site assessments take place at Philips locations and business criticalbusiness-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 250,0000.25 million to EUR 2,500,0005 million per occurrence and this variance is designed to differentiate between the existing risk categories within Philips. Above this first layer of working deductibles, Philips operates its

The maturity date of the new facility is December 29, 2017, however Philips expects to prepay this facility in the course of 2017.

Offering of Philips Lighting shares

On July 1, 2013,February 9, 2017 Royal Philips announced that it had reachedcompleted an agreement with the Dutch trade unions onaccelerated book build offering to institutional investors of 26 million shares in Philips Lighting at a new collective labor agreement that covers the period January 1, 2013 till December 31, 2014. The new agreement includes changesprice of EUR 23.40 per share realizing total proceeds of EUR 608 million. This transaction reduced Royal Philips’ stake in the plan rules and the funding agreement with the Dutch pension plan, which is the company’s largest Defined Benefit pension plan. The plan changes have become effective as of January 1, 2014 and the new funding agreement has been signed by the Trustees of the Dutch pension plan. Philips Lighting’s outstanding share capital from 71.225% to 53.892%.

As part of this transaction, Philips Lighting repurchased 3.5 million shares in the offering and intends to cancel these changes, Philips agreed to make a EUR 600 million contribution to the Dutch pension plan, of which EUR 240 million has been settled in cash on February 19, 2014.

After cancellation of the consideration will be settled through the transfer of assets and cash proceeds from the sale of assets which are currently owned by Philips. The (majority of the) contribution will need to be written off through other comprehensive income due to the asset ceiling restrictions3.5 million shares that Philips Lighting has acquired in the plan.

Healthcare facilityoffering, Royal Philips’ shareholding in Cleveland, Ohio

In our healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio, certain issues in the general area of manufacturing process controls were identified during an ongoing US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection. To address these issues, on January 10, 2014 we started a voluntary, temporary suspension of new production at the facility, primarily to strengthen manufacturing process controls. Currently, there is no indication of product safety issues. This action is estimated to have a negative impact on the sector’s operational results of approximately EUR 60 to 70 million in the first half of 2014, of which we expect to recover a substantial part in the second half of 2014.

Transfer of the remaining 30%-stake in TP Vision Holding to TPV

Technology Limited (TPV)

The remaining 30% stake in the TP Vision venture will be transferred for a deferred purchase price and allPhilips Lighting’s outstanding loans and stand-by facilities between Philips and the TP Vision venture will be transferred to TPV. The brand license agreement between Philips and the TP Vision venture will remain in place, with an annual royalty of 2.2% of sales payable by the TP Vision venture to Philips. The minimum annual royalty has been reduced from EUR 50 million to EUR 40 million.

Healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio

In our healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio, certain issues in the general area of manufacturing process controls were identified during an ongoing US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection. To address these issues, on January 10 we started a voluntary, temporary suspension of new production at the facility, primarily to strengthen manufacturing process controls. Currently, there is no indication of product safety issues. This action is estimated to have a negative impact on the sector’s Adjusted IFO of approximately EUR 60 to 70 million in the first half of 2014, of which we expect to recover a substantial part in the second half of 2014.

Transfer of the remaining 30%-stake in TP Vision Holding to TPV Technology

On January 20, 2014 Philips announced that it has signed a term sheet to transfer the remaining 30% stake in the TP Vision venture to TPV Technology Limited. The signing of definitive agreements is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2014, with completion expected in the second half of 2014, subject to certain regulatory and TPV shareholder approvals. After completion, TPV will fully own TP Vision, which will enable further integration with TPV’s TV business.

The remaining 30% stake in the TP Vision venture will be transferred for a deferred purchase price and all outstanding loans and stand-by facilities between Philips and the TP Vision venture will be transferred to TPV. The brand license agreement between Philips and the TP Vision venture will remain in place, with an annual royalty of 2.2% of sales payable by the TP Vision venture to Philips. The minimum annual royalty has been reduced from EUR 50 million to EUR 40 million. The agreement includes a EUR 50 million transaction-related payment, which Philips has accounted for in the fourth quarter of 2013 under Results relating to investments in associates (see note 6, Interests in entities).

LTI coverage program

To cover Philips’ outstanding obligations resulting from past and present long-term incentive and employee stock purchase programs dating back to 2004, Philips will repurchase up to 12 million additional Philips shares on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam, to be executed during 2014. The shares repurchased will be held by Philips as treasury shares until they are distributed to participants.

Philips started this program as of January 28, 2014 and will enter into subsequent discretionary management agreements with one or more banks to repurchase Philips shares within the limits of relevant laws and regulations (in particular EC Regulation 2273/2003) and Philips’ articles of association. All transactions are published on Philips’ website (www.philips.com/investor) on a weekly basis.

The LTI coverage program is over and above the existing EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program for cancellation purposes which started on October 21, 2013.

Independent auditor’s report

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

Report on the Companyaudit of the financial statements 2016

Our opinion

We have audited the accompanying Company financial statements 2013 which are part of the financial statements2016 of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company), based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and compriseNetherlands. The financial statements include the Company balance sheets as at December 31, 2013, the Company statements of income, and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes, comprising a summary of the accounting policies and other explanatory information in section 12 and 12.4.

Management’s responsibility

The Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Companyconsolidated financial statements and the preparation of the Management report, both in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Company financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Company financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. This requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Company financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Company financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Company financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the Company financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Companycompany financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, opinion:

the Companyaccompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Koninklijke Philips N.V. as at December 31, 20132016 and of its result and its cash flows for 2016 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union(EU-IFRS) and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code;

the accompanying company financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Koninklijke Philips N.V. as at December 31, 2016 and of its result for the year then ended2016 in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

The company financial statements comprise:

the company balance sheet as at December 31, 2016;

the company statements of income and changes in equity for 2016; and

the notes comprising a summary of the accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Basis for our opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section 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. Furthermore, we have complied with the “Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants” (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Materiality

MaterialityEUR 60 million
Benchmark applied5% income before taxes
Explanation

Based on our professional judgment we consider an earnings-based measure as the most appropriate basis to determine materiality. We have assessed the benchmark amount, taken into account the impact of certain items such as Philips Lighting separation costs and effects of certain claim settlements on income before taxes. Based on the actual result the materiality exceeds the initial planning materiality of EUR 60 million as set in the course of our planning phase. We continued to apply the materiality initially set.

We have also taken misstatements into account 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 EUR 3 million, which are identified during the audit, would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view should be reported on qualitative grounds.

Scope of the group audit

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) is at the head of a group of entities. The consolidated financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V. represents the financial information of this group.

Following our assessment of the risk of material misstatement to Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s consolidated financial statements, we have selected 12 components which required an audit of the complete financial information (Full Scope Components) and 36 components requiring audit procedures on specific account balances or specified audit procedures that we considered had the potential for the greatest impact on the significant accounts in the financial statements either because of the size of these accounts or their risk profile (Specific- or Specified Scope Components). We performed audit procedures on certain accounting areas managed centrally, such as goodwill. In addition, the central team has been involved in the audit procedures on revenue recognition, tax and legal claims, litigation and contingencies.

Where this did not give adequate quantitative coverage of significant account balances, we used our judgment to scope additional procedures on account balances or requested the component auditors to perform additional specified procedures (Specified Procedures). As a result of our scoping of the complete

Annual Report 2016      203


Company financial statements 11.5

financial information, specific account balances and the performance of audit procedures at different levels in the organization, our actual coverage varies per account balance and the depth of our audit procedures per account balance varies depending on our risk assessment.

Of the remaining components, we performed selected other procedures, including analytical review and detailed testing to respond to any potential risks of material misstatements to the financial statements.

Accordingly, our audit coverage per account balance included in the key audit matters stated below, can be summarized as follows:

Involvement with component teams

Component materiality was determined by our judgment, based on the relative size of the component and our risk assessment. Component materiality did not exceed EUR 30 million and the majority of our component auditors applied a component materiality that is significantly less than this threshold.

Component auditors visited the Netherlands in 2016 to attend our global audit conference, to discuss the Group audit, risks, audit approach and instructions. In addition, we sent detailed instructions to all component auditors, covering the significant areas that should be covered and set out the information required to be reported to us. Based on our risk assessment, we visited component locations in the U.S.A., China, the Netherlands, Japan, Panama, Hong Kong, Germany, Russia, Italy, India, and Singapore. These visits encompassed some, or all, of the following activities:co-developing the significant risk area audit approach, reviewing key local working papers and conclusions, meeting with local and regional leadership teams, obtaining an understanding of key control processes including centralised entity level control processes and attending closing meetings. We interacted regularly with the component teams where appropriate during various stages of the audit, attended in person or via conference call, Full Scope Component and certain Specific Scope Component closing meetings, reviewed key working papers and were responsible for the scope and direction of the audit process. For the audit of Lumileds and the Automotive businesses, classified as discontinued operations, we have used the work ofnon-EY auditors.

By performing the procedures mentioned above at group entities, together with additional procedures 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 consolidated financial statements.

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. The key audit matters are not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed.

Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

204      Annual Report 2016


Company financial statements 11.5

Company separation

Key audit matter

In 2016 the Company established two separate entities focused on HealthTech and Lighting. To accomplish the separation, businesses, assets and liabilities of Lighting have been transferred from HealthTech legal entities to new or existing Lighting legal entities and vice versa. This occurred through several legal transaction steps, including local business transfers and legal demergers. Following the separation, the reporting structure of the Company changed resulting into revised segment reporting. At the same time, the former Innovation, Group Services segment was split and allocated between Philips and Philips Lighting.

There is an increased risk in relation to the proper accounting of the separation, such as the impact of potential local tax consequences, completeness and measurement of transaction costs as expenses and correct allocation of Innovation, Group Services segment to the new segments. Further reference is made tonote 5, Interests in entities.

Our audit approach

Our audit procedures included, amongst others, meetings with project management to understand the separation process and its impact on the Company’s assets, liabilities and equity. Furthermore we assessed the appropriateness of the accounting of the separation and the related transaction costs based on supporting documentation, including the master separation agreement and underlying service level agreements. We also verified the reconciliation of the total assets and liabilities to the allocated assets and liabilities per the respective entities and segments and tested the appropriate accounting of the separation based on the local business transfer agreement.

We assessed the impact of the separation on (deferred) tax positions as part of our audit procedures on these accounts as further detailed in the related key audit matter below.

Valuation of goodwill

Key audit matterAt December 31, 2016, the total carrying value of goodwill amounted to EUR 8,898 million, representing 27.5% of the group’s total assets. Goodwill is allocated to (groups of) Cash Generating Units (CGU’s) for which management is required to test the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if there is a triggering event for testing. We focused on this area given the significant judgement and complexity of valuation methodologies used to determine whether the carrying value of goodwill is appropriate, which includes the assumptions used within models to support the recoverable amount of goodwill. Further reference is made tonote 11, Goodwill.
Our audit approachAs part of our audit we assessed and tested the assumptions, methodologies and data used by the Company in their valuation model, by comparing them to external data such as expected inflation rates, discount rates and implied growth rates. Additionally, we validated that the cash flow projections used in the valuation are consistent with the information approved by the Executive Committee and have evaluated the historical accuracy of management’s estimates that drive the assessment, such as business plans and expected growth rates. We performed sensitivity analysis by stress testing key assumptions in the model to consider the degree to which these assumptions would need to change before an impairment charge would have to be recognized. We included in our team a valuation expert to assist us in these audit activities. These procedures were performed for all CGU’s.
Our main focus was on the CGU’s Sleep & Respiratory Care (Personal Health businesses), Image Guided Therapy (Diagnosis & Treatment businesses), Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions (Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses) and Professional (Lighting) as these represent the majority of the goodwill balance of the Group at December 31, 2016.

We have also tested the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls around the valuation of goodwill. We also assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure around goodwill as included innote 11, Goodwill.

Annual Report 2016      205


Company financial statements 11.5

Taxes - Valuation of deferred tax assets and liability for tax risks

Key audit matterThe accounting for deferred tax assets and tax risk liabilities were significant to our audit since the Company has extensive international operations and makes judgements and estimates in relation to the realization of deferred tax assets and tax risk positions resulting in the recognition of other tax liabilities. In addition to the assessment of the realization of deferred tax assets and recognition of tax liabilities in the normal course of business, the value of the deferred tax assets and liabilities is also impacted by the Philips Lighting separation.
At December 31, 2016, the deferred tax assets are valued at EUR 2,792 million and the other tax liability related to tax risks is valued at EUR 395 million. Further reference is made tonote 8, Income taxes andnote 22, Other liabilities.
Our audit approachWith the involvement of our tax experts we evaluated the tax accounting in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, taking into account the impact of the local tax jurisdiction and including effects resulting from the separation.
With regard to deferred tax assets, we tested management’s assumptions used to determine the probability that deferred tax assets recognized in the balance sheet will be recovered. This is based upon forecasted taxable income in the countries where the deferred tax assets originated and the periods when the deferred tax assets can be utilized. We used, amongst others, forecasts and tax laws. The forecasts were evaluated by us and we assessed the historical accuracy of management’s assumptions.
We evaluated and challenged the Company’s judgements in respect of estimates of tax exposures, considering ongoing local tax authority audits, legislative developments and relevant historical and recent judgements. We tested the Company’s internal controls around the recording and continuousre-assessment of the deferred tax assets and tax liabilities.

We compared information provided by management to corroborative or contradictory information where possible, such as previous history in certain countries. We also assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures included innote 8, Income taxes andnote 22, Other liabilities.

Revenue recognition – multiple element sales contracts and sales promotions

Key audit matterSales contracts for certain transactions primarily entered into in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses involve multiple elements. Those multiple elements, or separately identifiable components, are recognized based on their relative fair value and achievement of revenue recognition criteria. This gives rise to the risk that sales could be misstated due to the complexity of the multi-element contracts and the incorrect determination of the relative fair value elements and timing of the related revenue recognition.
In addition, primarily in the Personal Health businesses the Company has sales promotions related agreements with distributors and retailers whereby discounts and rebates are provided according to the quantity of goods sold and promotional and marketing activity performed. The agreements of these sales promotions can include a number of characteristics that require judgement to be applied in determining the appropriate accounting treatment based on the terms of respective agreements. Management must estimate the sales related accruals (rebates, marketing and promotional support, coupon and stock protection) as at the balance sheet date based on forecast information over the term of the promotion. There may also be incentives to change the timing of when sales related accruals within the Personal Health businesses are recognized to meet internal targets. Further reference is made tonote 2, Information by segment and main country.
Our audit approachOur audit procedures included, amongst others, assessing the appropriateness of the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies and testing the effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the fair value determination of multi-element sales contracts and sales promotions to assess the correct value and timing of revenue recognition. Furthermore, we assessed the accuracy of the sales recorded by inspection of selected sales contracts, external confirmations, review of installation hours reported after recognition of revenue and inspection of hand over certificates.

With respect to the sales related accruals, our procedures included testing management’s controls around the completeness and accuracy of the sales promotions agreements recognized in the accounting system, challenging management’s assumptions used in determining the sales related accruals through discussions with management and performing specific substantive procedures, including:

-   On a sample basis agreed the recorded amounts to contractual evidence;

-   Performed a retrospective review of actual expenses verifying there were no significant differences to prior period sales related accruals; and

-   Testedcut-off through assessing the sales promotion obligations around theyear-end.

We also assessed the adequacy of the sales disclosures contained innote 2, Information by segment and main country.

Contingent liabilities and provisions from (legal) claims, proceedings and investigations

Key audit matterThe 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 investigations by authorities, such as for example the patent infringement lawsuit by Masimo Corporation, several CRT antitrust litigations and a civil matter with the US Department of Justice relating to the external defibrillator business in the US.
This area is significant to our audit, since the accounting and disclosure for (contingent) legal liabilities is complex and judgmental (due to the difficulty in predicting the outcome of the matter and estimating the potential impact if the outcome is unfavorable), and the amounts involved are, or can be, material to the financial statements as a whole. Further reference is made tonote 19, Provisions andnote 25, Contingent assets and liabilities.
Our audit approachOur audit procedures included, amongst others, testing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls around the identification and evaluation of claims, proceedings and investigations at different levels in the group, and the recording and continuousre-assessment of the related (contingent) liabilities and provisions and disclosures. We inquired with both legal and financial staff in respect of ongoing investigations or claims, proceedings and investigations, inspected relevant correspondence, inspected the minutes of the meetings of the Audit Committee, Supervisory Board and Executive Committee, requested a confirmation letter from the group’sin-house legal counsel and obtained external legal confirmation letters from a selection of external legal counsels. For claims settled during the year, such as Medsage and Masimo, we vouched the cash payments, as appropriate and read the related settlement agreements in order to verify whether the settlements were properly accounted for.

We also assessed the adequacy of Company’s disclosure regarding (contingent) liabilities from legal proceedings and investigations as contained innote 19, Provisions andnote 25, Contingent assets and liabilities.

Accounting for Discontinued operations

Key audit matterFollowing the planned sale of the majority interest of Lumileds and future sell-down of Philips Lighting shares, the accounting of discontinued operations has been an attention area in our audit. The Lumileds business is accounted for as discontinued operation since the fourth quarter of 2014 and Philips Lighting could potentially become a discontinued operation once loss of control is highly probable in the near future. Further reference is made tonote 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale.
Our audit approach

Our audit procedures included, amongst others, testing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls around the appropriate accounting, assessing the appropriateness of the Company’s accounting policies in relation to discontinued operations and assessment of compliance with the respective accounting policies. We met with the Board of Management and Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board and other executive management representatives on a regular basis to understand the status of the planned sale of the majority interest of Lumileds and the future sell-down of Philips Lighting shares. We assessed management’s evaluation of continued classification as discontinued operations of Lumileds and the accounting of Lighting including the adequacy of Company’s disclosure included innote 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale.

Initial audit engagement

Key audit matterThere are additional considerations involved in performing initial audit engagements. Additional planning activities and considerations are required to establish an appropriate audit strategy and audit plan.
Our audit approach

After being appointed as the Company’s auditors effective for the year 2016, we developed a comprehensive transition plan in October 2015, which included specific planning activities, to ensure an effective transition from the predecessor auditor. The specific planning activities included, but were not limited to, obtaining an initial understanding of the Company and its business, including background information, strategy, business risks, IT landscape and its financial reporting and internal controls framework, to assist us in performing our risk assessment procedures. We have assessed the opening balances and the selection and consistent application of accounting policies by discussing the audit with the predecessor auditor and reviewing the predecessor auditor’s file. Furthermore, in January 2016, we attended closing meetings and Audit Committee meetings related to the 2015 audit. The foregoing has been used as a basis for our 2016 audit plan. We discussed and agreed our 2016 audit plan with the Audit Committee and Executive Committee of Koninklijke Philips N.V. in April 2016 and have provided status updates, progress reports and key audit matters from our audit process on a regular basis.

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 Managementoverride of internal control.

Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Concluding on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 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 extent we can assess, is consistent withrelated disclosures in the financial statements or,

if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 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.

Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Dutch Civil Code.financial statements, including the disclosures.

Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities. Depending on the size and/or the risk profile, the organisation of the group and the effectiveness of group-wide controls, changes in the business environment and other relevant factors, we selected group entities for which an audit or review had to be carried out on the complete set of financial information or specific items.

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.

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.

From the matters communicated with the Supervisory Board, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the matter is in the public interest.

12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting

Philips has a long tradition of sustainability reporting, beginning in 1999 when we publishedwith our first environmental annual report.Annual Report published in 1999. This was expanded in 2003, with the launch of our first sustainability annual report, which provided details of our social and economic performanceAnnual Report. As a next step, in addition to our environmental results.

In 2008, we decided to publish an integrated financial, social and environmental report, reflectingreport. For more information, please refer to the progress we have made embedding sustainability in our way of doing business. This is also supported by the inclusion of sustainability in the Philips Mission, Vision and the company strategy.company’s website.

This is our sixthninth annual integrated financial, social and environmental report.report which has been prepared in line with the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Integrated Reporting (IR) framework and includes a visualization of ourvalue creation process.

Philips Lighting’s results are consolidated in this report but are also available in their Annual Report.

Royal Philips and Philips Lighting publish their integrated Annual Report with the highest (reasonable) assurance level on the financial, social and environmental performance. With that overall reasonable assurance level Philips is a frontrunner in this field.

12.1.1 Tracking trends

We continuously follow external trends continuously to determine the issues most relevant for our company and those where we can make a positive contribution to society at large. In addition to our own research, we make use of a variety of sources, including the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), World Bank, World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), World Economic Forum and World Health Organization.. Our work also involves tracking topics of concern to governments,non-governmental organizations (NGO), regulatory bodies, academia, and non-governmental organizations, and following the resulting media coverage.

12.1.2 Stakeholders

We seek to engagederive significant value from our diverse stakeholders across all our activities and engage with, listen to gain their feedback on specific areas of our business.and learn from them. Working in partnerships is crucial in delivering on our vision to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. We incorporate their feedback on specific areas of our business into our planning and actions. In addition, to engagement with our customers, our suppliers, employees, local communities and governments, we participate in meetings and task forces as a member of organizations including the WBCSD, World Economic Forum, WBCSD, Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), Carbon Disclosure Project Supply Chain, European Committee of Domestic Equipment Manufacturers (CECED), Federation of National Manufacturers Associations for Luminaires and Electrotechnical Components for Luminaires in the European Union (CELMA), European Coordination Committee of the Radiological, Electromedical and Healthcare IT Industry (COCIR), Digital Europe, European Lamp Companies Federation (ELC), European Roundtable of Industrialists (ERT), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Environmental Leadership Council of the Information Technology Industry Council (ELC ITIC), Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC) and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.Foundation, and the European Partnership for Responsible Minerals.

A multi-stakeholder project with the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), a number of NGOs, and electronicelectronics companies was started in 2011 and continuedexpanded in 2013.2014 and 2015 to include suppliers in the Yangtze river delta. The program focuses on improving working circumstancesconditions in the electronics industry in China.

Furthermore, we engaged with the leading Dutch labor union (FNV) and a number of NGOs, including Enough, GoodElectronics, MakeITfair, the Chinese Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, SOMO, Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.Earth as well as a variety of investors and analysts.

Our sustainabilitye-mail account(philips.sustainability@philips.com) enables stakeholders to share their issues, comments and questions with the sustainability team.

12.1.3 Reporting standards

In thisWe have prepared the integrated annual report we have followed relevant best practice standards and international guidelines while reporting on our sustainability performance. Most important are the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) new G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines as well asin line with the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Integrated Reporting <IR> framework.framework.

For the sustainability information included in the integrated annual report we followed the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards-Option Comprehensive. A detailed overview of the G4GRI Comprehensive Indicators is provided at the end of this section.

Sustainability is integrated in our company strategy and embeddedindicators can be found in the organization. We have tried to reflectGRI content index on oursustainability website. Next, we developed additional company specific indicators. The information on definition and measurement can be found in this “integrated thinking” while writing this report, in line with the <IR> framework.chapter.

We signed on to the United Nations Global Compact in March 2007 joining thousands of companies from all regions of the world as well as international labor and civil society organizations to advance 10 universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti- corruption. Our General Business Principles, 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.

At the World Economic Forum in January 2017 Philips signed the Compact forResponsive and Responsible Leadership. The Compact is an initiative to promote and align the long-term sustainability of corporations and the long-term goals of society, with an inclusive approach for all stakeholders.

We use this report to communicate on our progress towards the relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 3 (“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) and SDG 12 (“Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”). Please refer tosub-section 12.3.7, Stakeholder Engagement, of this report for more details.

More information about Philips Lighting’s commitments to the SDGs can be found in their Annual Report.

12.1.4 Material aspectstopics and our focus

Based on ongoing trend analysis, stakeholder input and media analysis, weWe identify the key material aspects forenvironmental, social, and governance topics which have the greatest impact on our company from a sustainability perspective. We have mappedbusiness and the aspects in the table below, taking into account the:

greatest level of concern to society at largestakeholders along our value chain. Assessing these topics enables us to prioritize and stakeholders, versus

significance offocus upon the environmentalmost material topics and social impact on and by Philips through our operations and products/solutions.

This is a dynamic process, as we continuously monitor the world around us. We developeffectively address these in our policies and programsprograms.

Our materiality assessment is based on our findings.an ongoing trend analysis, media search, and stakeholder input. The results for Royal Philips are reflected in the materiality matrix below. Those for Philips Lighting can be found in the Philips Lighting Annual Report. The scores are based on Philips’ assessment. Our materiality assessment has been conducted in the context of the GRI Sustainable Reporting Standards and the results have been reviewed and approved by the Philips Sustainability Board. As a result of the exclusion of Philips Lighting, a number of aspects have changed in terms of materiality in the table below (compared to 2015), for example, health related aspects have become more material.

With the new5-year ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program, new sustainability commitments were introduced, more detailed targets can be found in the respective sections.

More details on the Philips Lighting sustainability program can be found in their report.

All of our programs are guided by the Philips General Business Principles, which provide the framework for all of our business decisions and actions.

12.1.6 Boundaries of sustainability reporting

Our sustainability performance reporting encompasses the consolidated Philips Group activities in the Social and Environmental Performance sections, following the consolidation criteria detailed in this section. As a result of impact assessments of our value chain we have identified the material topics, determined their relative impact in the value chain (supply chain, our own operations, and use phase of our products) and reportreported for each topic on the relevant parts of the value chain. More details on our impact are provided in the relevant sections.sections in these Sustainability Statements and in the Philips Lighting Investor Relationswebsite.

The consolidated selected financial information in this sustainability statements section has been derived from the Group Financial Statements, which are based on IFRS.

12.1.7 Comparability and completeness

We used expert opinions and estimates for some parts of the Key Performance Indicator calculations. There is therefore an inherent uncertainty in our calculations.

The figures reported are Philips’ best estimate. As our insight increases, we may enhance the methodology in the future.

TheSocial data cover all employees, including temporary employees, but exclude contract workers. Due to the implementation of new HRM systems, we are able to provide more specific exit information on Philips employees from 2014 onwards.

Until 2016, Philips reported on Green Product definition has changed in 2013 for Lighting; withsales. Due to the phase-out of incandescent lamps, the Eco Halogen lamp became the reference product for many lamps and was not includedchange in our businesses, we changed this in 2016 to Green Product sales any longer. This hadRevenues, which includes products and solutions (refer to the definition in 12.1.8). Revenues for 2014 and 2015 have been restated to reflect this change.

In 2016, emission factors for CO2 were not updated. In 2015 however, the emission factor set for consumed electricity was updated to the IEA 2015 publications. Also, the emission factors for natural gas were implemented according to DEFRA (UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). Lastly, all scope 3 emission factors for business travel and logistics were updated from a downward impact on the Green Product sales of Lighting of some 4%. At the same time it was decidedbespoke emission factor set to include sustainable services provided by the business group Professional Lighting Solutions (PLS) in the Green Product definition Lighting. ThisDEFRA guidance as well. The latter has had an upward impact of 1,5%effect on our scope 3 emissions, ranging from 15% to 32% in the Green Product sales of this sector.years2007-2015.

The emissions of substances data is based on measurements and estimates at manufacturing site level. There is therefore an inherent uncertainty in our calculations. The figures reported are Philips’ best estimate. As our insight increases, we may enhance the methodology in the future.

IntegrationThe integration of newly acquired activities is scheduled according to a defined integration timetable (in principle, the first full reporting year after the year of acquisition) and subject to the integration agenda. Data for activities that are divested during the reporting year are not included in full-year reporting. Environmental data are reported for manufacturing sites with more than 50 industrial employees.

Social data cover all employees, including temporary employees, but exclude contract workers. Due to the implementation of new HRM systems, we are able to provide exit diversity information on Philips employees as from 2012. Historical comparisons may not be available, however.

Annual Report 2013      225


13 Sustainability statements 13 - 13

Health and safety data is reported for units with over 50 FTEs (full-time equivalents) and is voluntary for smaller units. New acquisitions must report, in principle, the first year after acquisition and subject to the integration agenda. Data for activities that are divested during the reporting year are not included in full-year reporting.

In line with the discontinuedDiscontinued operations presentation in the Group financial statements regarding the Audio, Video, MultimediaLumileds and Accessories (AVM&A)Automotive business, we have excluded the AVM&Athis data from the consolidated Sustainability data. Where the impact of the exclusion was material, we clearly disclosed the impact.

Prior-period financial statements have been restated for the treatment of Audio, Video, Multimedia and Accessories as discontinued operations and the adoption of IAS 19R, which mainly relates to accounting for pensions.

Lives improved energy efficiency and materials

The key performance indicatorsKey Performance Indicators on ‘lives improved’, ‘energy efficiency’ and ‘materials’ and the scope are defined in the respective methodology documents that can be found at www.philips.com/sustainability.Methodology for calculating Lives Improved. We used opinions from Philips experts and estimates for some parts of the Lives Improved calculations. There is therefore an inherent uncertainty in our calculations. The figures reported are Philips’ best possible estimate.

Sustainability statements 12.1.8

Health and safety

Health and safety data is reported by sites with over 50 FTEs (full-time equivalents) and is voluntary for smaller locations. Health and safety data are reported and validated each month via an online centralized IT tool. As of 2016, the Total Recordable Cases (TRC) rate is defined as a KPI, cases where the injured employee is unable to work one or more days, or had medical treatment or sustained an industrial illness. For data comparability reasons, we also provide the Lost Workday Injury Cases (LWIC) rate, work-related injuries and illnesses that predominantly occur in manufacturing operations and Field Services Organizations where the incident leads to at least one lost workday. Fatalities are reported for staff, contractors and visitors.

General Business Principles

Alleged GBP violations are registered in our intranet-based reporting and validation tool.

Supplier audits

Supplier audits are primarily focused on identified risk suppliers, based on identified risk countries and on a spend of more than EUR 1 million (new suppliers EUR 100,000 and no threshold for high risk suppliers).

Based on the Maplecroft Human Rights Risk Indexes, risk countries for Supply Management in 2016 were: Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine.

Suppliers of new ventures are included to the extent that the integration process of these ventures has been finalized. The normative integration period is two years after closure of the new venture.

Green ProductsRevenues

Green ProductsRevenues are revenues generated through products or solutions that offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more Green Focal Areas: Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Recycling and disposalCircularity and Lifetime reliability. The life cyclelifecycle approach is used to determine a product’s overall environmental improvement. It calculates the environmental impact of a product over its total life cycle (raw materials, manufacturing, product use and disposal).

Green Productsproducts and solutions need to prove leadership in at least one Green Focal Area compared to industry standards, which is defined by a sector specific peer group. This is done either by outperforming reference products (which can be a competitor or predecessor product in the particular product family) by at least 10%, outperforming product-specificeco-requirements or by being awarded with a recognizedeco-performance label. Because of different product portfolios, sectorssegments have specified additional criteria for Green Products,products and solutions, including product-specific minimum requirements where relevant.

Circular Revenues

Circular Revenues are defined by revenues generated through products and solutions that meet specific Circular Economy requirements, for example by containing at least 30% recycled plastics (Personal Health), where Philips remains the owner, or where the product has been refurbished.

Sustainable Innovation

Sustainable Innovation is the Research & Development spend related to the development of new generations of products and solutions that address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (“to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) or 12 (“to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”).

Green Innovation

Green Innovation compriseis a subset of Sustainable Innovation and is defined as all R&D activities directly contributing to the development of Green Products and Solutions or Green Technologies. A wide setTechnologies; it contributes to SDG 12. This means all products, systems or services that demonstrate a measurable positive impact on energy efficiency (10% or greater than previous products or legal requirements), and preferably also in one or more green focal areas: Circularity, Weight & Materials, Packaging, and Substances. Green Innovation for Lighting is calculated by multiplying the total R&D spend by percentages for sustainable innovation per Business Group (LED 100%, Professionals 95%, Home is 97% and Lamps 15%). These percentages are an assessment of additional criteriathe contribution of R&D projects to sustainable innovation and boundaries have been definedare calculated based on prior-year innovation budgets. As part of this assessment we applied the assumptions that the prior-year percentages are still applicable for this reporting year and that all innovation in LED andLED-related products and services are considered as the basis for internal and external validation.sustainable.

Environmental data

All environmental data from manufacturing operations, except process chemicals, are reported on a half-yearquarterly basis in our sustainability reporting and validation tool, according to defined company guidelines that include definitions, procedures and calculation methods. Process chemicals are reported on ahalf-yearly basis.

Internal validation processes are followedhave been implemented and peer audits performed to ensure consistent data quality and to assess the robustness of data reporting systems.

These environmental data from manufacturing are tracked and reported to measure progress against our Green operations programSustainable Operations targets.

Reporting on ISO 14001 certification is based on manufacturing units reporting in the sustainability reporting system.

Annual Report 2016      215


Sustainability statements 12.1.8

Operational carbon footprint

The Philips operational carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2 and 3) is calculated on a half-yearly basis and includes:

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

Logistics – air, sea and road transport

All emission factors used to transform input data (for example, amount of tonne-kilometers transported) into CO2 emissions are fromreports in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), except for business travel, where the service providers supplied CO2 data based on their own verified methodology.. The GHGP distinguishes three scopes. It is mandatoryscopes, 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 themarket-based method and the location-based method. The market-based method of reporting will serve as our reference for calculating our total operational carbon footprint.

 

 

Scope 1 – direct CO2 emissions – is reported on in full, with details of direct emissions from our industrial andnon-industrial sites in full. sites. Emissions from industrial sites, which consist of direct emissions resulting from processes and fossil fuel combustion on site, are reported in the sustainability reporting system. Energy use and CO2 emissions fromnon-industrial sites are based on actual data where available. If this is not the case, they are estimated based on average energy usage per square meters, taking the geographical location and building type of the site into account.

 

 

Scope 2 – indirect CO2 emissions resulting from the generation of purchased electricity for our premises – is reported on in full, with electricity usedetails of indirect emissions from our industrial andnon-industrial sites in full. Indirect sites. CO2 emissions resulting from purchased electricity, steam, heat and heatother indirect sources are reported in the sustainability reporting system. ThoseThe indirect emissions of industrial sites not yet reporting are calculated on the same basis as described in Scope 1. Indirect emissions of non-industrial sites are calculated in the same manner as described in Scope 1.

The location-based method of scope 2 reporting reflects the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs (using mostlygrid-average emission factor data). For this method our emission factors derive from the International Energy Agency (IEA) 2015 and are based on grid averages.

The market-based method of scope 2 reporting allows use of an emission factor that is specific to the energy purchased. Emissions intensity of consumed energy can differ based on contractual instruments used. For example,so-called ‘green electricity contracts’ guarantee the purchaser will be supplied with electricity coming from renewable sources which typically lower emissions per energy unit generated. In the market-based method Philips will account for renewable electricity with an emission factor of 0 grams CO2 per kWh. 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. All certificates were obtained through procurement ofGreen-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in the United States and European Guarantees of Origin from the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) of the European Energy Certificate System (EECS).

 

 

Scope 3 – other CO2 emissions related to activities not owned or controlled by the Group is reported on for our business travel and distribution activities. Commuting by our employees, upstream distribution (before suppliers ship to us), outsourced activities and emissions resulting from product use by our customers are not included in our operational carbon footprint. The calculations for business travel by lease cars are based on actual fuel usage and for rental cars on distance traveled. Emissions from business travel by airplane are calculated by the supplier based on mileage flown and emission factors from DEFRA (UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), distinguishing between short, medium and long flights. Further, emissions from air freight for distribution are calculated based on the amount of tonne-kilometers transported between airports (distinguishing between short, medium and long hauls), including an estimate (based on actual data of the lanes with the largest volumes) for trucking from sites and distribution centers to airports and vice versa. Express shipments are generally a mix of road and air transport, depending on the distance. Therefore the assumption is applied that shipments over less than 600 km are transported by road and the rest of the shipments by air (those emissions by air are calculated in the same way as air freight). For sea transport, only data on transported volume were available so an estimate had to be made about the average weight of a container. Transportation to and from ports is not registered. This fore and aft part of sea transport was estimated to be around 3% of the total distance (based on actual data of the lanes with the largest volumes), consisting of a mix of modalities, and was added to the total emissions accordingly. CO2 emissions from road transport were also calculated based on tonne-kilometers. If data were incomplete, the emissions were estimated based on sales volumes. Return travel of vehicles is not included in the data for sea and road distribution.

HealthThe Philips operational carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2 and safety

Health3) is calculated on a quarterly basis and safety data are reported and validated monthly. The focus is on reporting work-related injuries, which predominantly occur in manufacturing operations. The annual number of cases leading to at least one lost workday is reported per 100 FTEs (full-time equivalents). Fatalities are reported for staff, contractors and visitors and include commuting accidents.

General Business Principles

Alleged GBP violations are registered in our intranet-based reporting and validation tool.

Supplier audits

Supplier audits are primarily focused on identified risk suppliers, based on identified risk countries and on spend of more than EUR 1 million (new suppliers EUR 100,000 and no threshold for high risk suppliers).includes the emissions from our:

 

Based on the Maplecroft Human Rights Risk Indexes, risk countries for Supply Management in 2013 were: Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Ukraine,Industrial sites – manufacturing and Vietnam.assembly sites

 

SuppliersNon-industrial sites – offices, warehouses, IT centers and R&D facilities

Business travel – lease and rental cars and airplane travel

Logistics – air, ocean and road transport

All emission factors used to transform input data (for example, amount of new ventures are includedtonne-kilometers transported) into CO2 emissions have been updated from the previously used DEFRA (UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) 2007 and bespoke emission factors to the extent thatapplicable DEFRA 2015 emission factors for each year respectively. The total CO2 emission resulting from these calculations serve as input for scope 1, 2 and 3.

Commuting by our employees, upstream distribution (before suppliers ship to us), outsourced activities and emissions resulting from product use by our customers are not included in our operational carbon footprint. The calculations for business travel by lease car are based on actual fuel usage and for travel by rental car they are based on distance travelled. Taxis and chauffeur driven cars used for business travel are not included in the integration processcalculations. Emissions from business travel by airplane are calculated by the supplier based on mileage flown and emission factors from DEFRA, distinguishing between short, medium and long-haul flights. Furthermore, emissions from air freight for distribution are calculated based on the amount of these ventures has been finalized. Normative integration period is two years after closuretonne-kilometers transported between airports (distinguishing between short, medium and long-haul flights), including an estimate (based on actual data of the new venture.lanes with the largest volumes) for trucking from sites and distribution centers to airports and vice versa. Express shipments are generally a mix of road and air transport, depending on the distance.

It is therefore assumed that shipments across over less than 600 km are transported by road and the rest by air (those emissions by air are calculated in the same way as air freight). For sea transport, only data on transported volume were available so an estimate had to be made about the average weight of a container. Transportation to and from ports is not registered. This fore and aft part of sea transport was estimated to be around 3% of the total distance (based on actual data of the lanes with the largest volumes), consisting of a mix of modalities, and was added to the total emissions accordingly. CO2 emissions from road transport were also calculated based on tonne-kilometers. Return travel of vehicles is not included in the data for sea and road distribution.

13.2.112.3.1 Building employability

Other programs

At Philips, our vision 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

Annual Report 2016      217


Sustainability statements 12.3.1

(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, nearly 13,000 people have participated, and around 70% found a regular job after taking part in the program. In 2016, Philips employed 140 people via the WGP program, including 25 people with autism. As we move into 2017, we will continue to offer an environment for all of our people to thrive and grow.

12.3.2 People development

Our talent development focuses on all aspects of the 70:20:10 learning framework.

70% Learning through critical career experiences

Philips is on a multi-year journey to evolve our culture to focus on experience-based career development, giving our people the opportunity to identify and gain the experiences necessary to support our health technology strategy and strengthen their employability. By identifying the roles and experiences critical to our business strategy, we clarify development areas and transferrable skills in support of cross-functional, lateral, traditional, as well asnon-traditional career opportunities for our people.

As of 2016, our people are able to view the succession plans in which they are included. In 2017 we will continue on our journey towards an experience-based careers culture through:

Enabling and empowering our people with real-time, integrated tools and resources to plan and manage their career

Building awareness of experience-based careers for our people through stories and communications, prioritizing critical roles and capabilities that are directly in support of our health technology strategy

Facilitated‘gig-board’ of extra-curricular roles to increase flexible teaming across organization structures and provide opportunity for further development within existing roles

20% Guidance through coaching and mentoring

In 2016, Philips University launched a program for leaders to help them get the most out of our people, help them grow, and have meaningful career conversations. In 2017 we will drive further initiatives focused on:

Strengthening theemployee-and-manager career partnership with clear accountabilities

Equipping managers as effective career coaches who will have transparent career dialogues with their team, with differentiated development for deep specialists and broad leaders

10% Learning through formal learning

In 2016, more than 1,900 new courses were made available by Philips University. Byyear-end, over 86,000 employees had enrolled for courses with Philips University. In total, some 1.2 million hours were spent on training through Philips University in 2016, with some 580,000 training completions.

12.3.3 Employee volunteering

In North America, thePhilips Cares program provides ways for employees to work together to improve people’s lives by creating healthy, sustainable communities. This can take many forms: from helping a child to excel in math, or providing safety and energy-efficient home improvements for the disadvantaged, to raising awareness about the importance of cardiac health. In 2016 alone, more than 9,500 employee volunteers participated in community outreach projects that suited their needs, schedules, and passions individually as well as through partnerships with organizations such as the American Heart Association, International Medical Equipment Collaborative (IMEC), and the March of Dimes.

Since Q4 2016, all of our employees are now able to take 1 day per year to support charitable endeavors through volunteering. For example, in the Benelux 70 of our people were trained in resuscitation (CPR) by the Dutch Hartstichting (heart foundation), enabling them to provide support in the critical first period of a cardiac arrest.

12.3.4 Health and Safety performance

In 2016, we recorded 174 LWIC, i.e. occupational injury cases where the injured person is unable to work one or more days after the injury. This represents a significant decrease compared with 213 in 2015. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.18 per 100 FTEs, compared with 0.21 in 2015. The number of Lost Workdays caused by injuries decreased by 1,253 days (16%) to 6,728 days in 2016.

Additionally, in 2016, we recorded 395 TRC’s, i.e. cases where the injured employee is unable to work one or more days, or had medical treatment or sustained an industrial illness.

In 2016, we focused our efforts not only on traditional process and equipment safety improvements, but also on a proactive cultural transformation through Behavior Based Safety (BBS). BBS requires a fundamental shift in how we think and act about Health and Safety before an injury occurs. Our new company program, based on an internal best practice, was deployed and implemented globally across many factories in 2016 including those in China, Asia Pacific and the USA. We believe this program will continue to drive down our workplace injuries and be a key pillar towards reaching our goal of a 25% reduction in total injuries by 2020.

In the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses segment Health and Safety showed a decrease in performance in 2016 with 40 LWIC compared to 21 in 2015. The LWIC rate increased to 0.36 compared to 0.20 in 2015. The total number of recordable cases for the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses segment was 73 in 2016.

Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

Health and Safety performance in the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment continued to improve in 2016 with 5 LWIC in 2016 compared to 6 in 2015. Correspondingly, the LWIC rate decreased to 0.15 in 2016 compared to 0.16 in 2015. This was primarily driven by our global patient monitoring businesses. The total number of recordable cases for the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment was 23 in 2016.

Personal Health businesses

The Personal Health businesses segment showed stable performance in Health and Safety with 21 LWIC in 2016, the same number as in 2015. The LWIC rate improved from 0.16 in 2015 to 0.15 in 2016. The Personal Health businesses segment had 46 recordable cases in 2016.

Lighting

Lighting showed an overall improvement while recording 71 LWIC compared to 119 in 2015. As a result the LWIC rate improved to 0.22 (0.34 in 2015). In 2016, Lighting had 156 reportable cases. Lighting introduced a new safety program in 2015 focusing on preventing injuries.

12.3.5 General Business Principles

The analysis is based upon 335A total of 503 concerns were reported over the course of 2016 via the formalPhilips Ethics Line and through our network of GBP procedureCompliance Officers, of which 164 related to Philips Lighting. The previous reporting period (2015) saw a total of 447 concerns, 135 of which related to Philips Lighting. Overall, we saw an increase of 13% in 2013 relating to alleged violationsthe total number of reports (11% for Royal Philips versus 21% for Philips Lighting).

This is a continuation of the upward trend reported since 2014, the year in which Philips updated its General Business Principles (GBP), compared to 374 in 2012.

The decreaseand deployed the related communication campaign, although the overall increase in the overallnumber of complaints reported has slightly declinedyear-on-year (2015: 14%). We believe this trend is in line with our multi-year efforts to encourage our employees to speak up, and we are now approaching a normalized level of reported concerns annually. The relatively larger increase in the number of concerns reportedthat relate to Philips Lighting is expected to relate, at least in part, to the separation event and the related corporate activities.

The upward trend in the number of concerns can mainlyprimarily be attributed to a decreasesignificantly more concerns being reported in the Americas. We see a slight decreaseNorth American (NA) region, making up 38% of the total number of reports in percentage2016 (2015: 31%). The number of reported concerns in North America, which accounted for 43% of all concerns (2012: 47%), and a continued decrease in concerns reported in Latin America (2013: 17%; 2012: 21%, 2011: 32%). Europe and the Middle East show a stable 15%once again declinedyear-on-year to 19% of the total number of reported concerns (2012: 15%). Only thecomplaints, compared with 25% in 2015. In percentage terms, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) remained quite stable, representing 20% and 23% of the total number of complaints respectively (2015: 21% and 20%).

In keeping with a trend that became visible in 2015, we again saw a more even distribution in reporting across the four regions. While the Americas were historically dominant in terms of number of cases reported, EMEA and APAC have now reached the same level as Latin America. We believe this to be as a result of significant communication efforts in addition to our Global GBP Communications campaign, especially in the APAC region, which accounted for 25%improving employees’ awareness of all concerns, shows a notable and continuing increase in reports (2012: 18%). The continuing dominance in North America we believe is due to a corporate culture in which employees are very much aware of compliance issues, their rights with regard to the GBP, and the opportunities for reporting potential violations. The continuing increase facilities available to them.

TheAs in previous years, the most commoncommonly reported type of concern remains related to the category Treatment of employeesemployees. In 2016 there were 276 reports in this category, which represented 61% of all reports (2012:compared to 242 in 2015. This represents 55%). As in 2012, the vast majority of the Treatmenttotal number of employees concerns, (81%which is a slight increase from 2015 (54%) remains related to two issues –.

Two subcategories, Respectful treatment and Equal and fair treatment, and Respectful treatment.

Concerns regarding Equal and fair treatment – primarily favoritism, discrimination and unfair treatment – originated principally in the US. Ofmake up just over 65% of the concerns reported in the US, 39% related to equal and fair treatment, whereas that figure was 24% for Philips.

Most concerns regarding lackTreatment of employees. The Respectful treatment – primarilycategory generally relates to concerns about verbal abuse, (sexual) harassment, and hostile work environment – again comeenvironments. Equal and fair treatment primarily addresses favoritism, and matters of discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace. 79% of the cases in these categories originated from the US. Of the concerns reportedAmericas, which is slightly more than in the US, 33% related to respectful treatment; compared to 25% for Philips as a whole.2015 (76%).

Substantiated versus Substantiated/unsubstantiated concerns

Although 89 ofOf the 335 GBP concerns503 cases reported in 20132016, 137 are still pending (especiallyclosure, in particular those lodged duringthat were filed towards the last three monthsend of the year), theyear. The table of investigated concerns providesbelow gives an initial indicationoverview of the number of reported concerns that were substantiated concerns(i.e. found to constitute a breach of our General Business Principles) by the subsequent investigation.

Of the 366 reports investigated (267 in 2015), 115 were substantiated, which represents 31% of the total reported and closed (34% in 2015). This is also shown in the table below. Notably, while in 2015 39% of the Treatment of employee cases were substantiated, this percentage dropped to 28% in 2016 (2014: 22%, 2013: 20%). On the other hand, 40% of the Business Integrity reports were closed as substantiated in 2016, compared with 21% in 2015 (2014: 36%, 2013: 50%).

In addition to the above, 174 concerns that were still open at the end of 2015 were closed during 2016. 37% of these concerns were substantiated after investigation.

Of the 179 closed concerns that were substantiated, 100 were followed up with disciplinary measures varying from termination of employment and written warnings to training and coaching. In other cases, corrective action was taken, which varied from strengthening the business processes to increasing awareness of the expected standard of business conduct.

development and social entrepreneurship, as well as in our approach towards disaster relief. Royal Philips and Philips Lighting supported the program of the 246 concerns investigated,Philips Foundation with a donation of EUR 10 million in 2016 and provided the operating staff, paymentin-kind and the expert support of skilled employees who support the Foundation’s program for part of their time.

A highlight of the year was the launch of a partnership with Ashoka, one of the world’s largest networks of social entrepreneurs, that identifies and invests in social entrepreneurs helping them to bring their ideas for solving social problems to scale. Through a six month ‘globalizer’ program, 12 social entrepreneurs were supported by advisory teams – involving 24 Philips volunteers to build their impact scaling plan. This culminated in athree-day summit where the social entrepreneurs were able to pitch their impact plans to a large group of senior experts, such as social investors, public sector representatives and Philips executives.

We additionally worked on strengthening our partnerships with the Red Cross and UNICEF. The partnership with the Red Cross focuses on exploring innovations that could assist in providing immediate relief to people in regions affected by humanitarian crises including natural disasters. We are working with the Netherlands Red Cross and the Ivory Coast Red Cross on a project in Ivory Coast to strengthen the resilience of a community in the Blolequin region with a focus on the health of mothers and children. The Philips Foundation and UNICEF have partnered to develop healthcare innovations for the first 1,000 days of children’s lives. We are supporting UNICEF’s Global Innovation Center and are a lead partner in the Kenya Maker for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Project in Nairobi, which focuses on developing and deploying solutions that improve access to healthcare for mothers and their children inlow-resource settings.

In addition, 36 local projects have been approved to be set up throughout the world. These projects are organized via the local Philips organization and NGO partner and funded by the Philips Foundation. These projects offer employee engagement opportunities including skilled expert volunteering. Employee donations were also a large part of the Philips Foundation’s response to the earthquakes in Ecuador, Japan and Italy as well as Hurricane Matthew in the USA. Along with ourco-creation projects we were able to respond to disasters around the world via our partnership with the Red Cross and global fundraisers, through which we raised a total of more than EUR 80,000 – a combination of employee donations and foundation matching.

Examples of innovation projects supported by the Philips Foundation

The Philips Foundation, CurArte Foundation and Hospital Vall d’Hebrón teamed up to create‘Imatgina’, an advanced patient-centric initiative in pediatric radiology that aims to improve the experience children have during diagnostic imaging tests. The goal of the initiative is to enhance the experience for children by creating a friendly atmosphere that dispels the uncertainty and fear usually associated with these types of procedures. It is estimated that the project will improve the lives of over 7,000 children on an annual basis.

Every day in rural Uganda, 555 birth complications occur, which lead to the death of over 6,000 Ugandan women a year. Although ultrasound has proven to be instrumental in the early identification of these complications, its high cost and the lack of trained personnel mean that it was found that roughly one quarter (28%) were justified, comparableis not widely available in rural areas. The Philips Foundation and Philips teamed up with 2012 (26%)Imaging the World (ITW) to identify and implement sustainable business models in the healthcare ecosystem of rural Uganda. Establishing sustainable and increased sources of funding will allow ITW to create new health clinics and impact the lives of an additional 35,000 Ugandan women and babies a year.

12.3.7 Stakeholder Engagement

Our engagements with various partners and stakeholders is essential to our vision of making the world healthier and sustainable through innovation. Some of our partnership engagements are described below.

Global partnerships

The partnership will be piloting the project in Uganda. The goal of the partnership is to gather accurate data which both organizations believe is essential to improve patient outcomes, provide access to care and reduce costs. Good data is key to strengthening health systems around the world.

World Heart Federation

Philips announced a notable increasenew partnership with the World Heart Federation (WHF) in 2016 to help people better manage their heart health. Aligned with the WHF’s ‘power your life’ campaign, Philips aims to encourage people to take personal responsibility for leading heart-healthy lives and to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease.

Thought leadership

Future Health Index

Philips launched a new report, the Future Health Index (FHI) in 2016, an extensive global study which explores how 13 countries around the world are positioned to meet long-term global health challenges through integration and connected care technologies. The Future Health Index measures readiness to address these challenges by examining perceptions about the accessibility and level of integration of healthcare services, and the adoption of connected care technology throughout national healthcare systems.

Digital transformation of health and care

Philips is a champion of the EU Blueprint on digital transformation of health and care for the ageing society. Philips will continue its engagement in the numberBlueprint through deploying digital innovation across the EU. We believe that this will contribute to development of justified concernsvalue-based care models for the benefit of citizens/patients and sustainability of health systems.

Working on global issues

Sustainable Development Goals

Philips aspires to 20%be a major private sector contributor to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were launched during the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2015. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (“’to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) and 12 (“to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”) are drivers and outcomes of sustainable development and Philips is committed to working closely with all relevant stakeholders to develop solutions to address these.

Strengthening primary care and enabling community development

Working in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Royal Philips plans to inaugurate a Community Life Center (CLC) in Mandera, a County in North-Eastern Kenya with one of the total numberworld’s highest maternal mortality rates - 3,795 per 100,000 live births. The project supported by the County Government of concernsMandera is the second of its kind in this category, backthe world; Philips inaugurated the first CLC in Kiambu County, Kenya in 2014. The CLC will deliver crucial primary healthcare and enhance community development in Mandera.

Access to primary healthcare in Africa is a complex and complicated issue, therefore a sustainable solution needs to address a wide range of issues collectively. Issues range from unavailability of qualified healthcare workers to the levellack of 2011 (2012: 13%, 2011: 21%).

In the other major category, i.e. the investigated concerns in the Business integrity category, the percentage of concerns that was justified increased considerably to 50% (2012: 42%).

A range of disciplinaryelectricity, water and corrective measures have been implemented as a result of established violationsbasic healthcare technology. The creation of the General Business Principles, ranging from dismissalCLC concept enabled Philips to realize its vision to drastically improve primary healthcare in Africa.

13.2.2 Supplier indicatorsGlobal Financing Facility

In addition2016 Philips committed to supporting the Global Financing Facility (GFF) through our own sustainability activities,expertise in innovation and our core competencies in growing primary-care capacity. The GFF brings together a broad range of partners to promote the sustainable solutions needed to achieve universal coverage of health care. By creating the right financial and technical conditions for innovation, as a common objective we also engagebelieve our suppliersinvolvement will achieve greater impact and their suppliers toward better sustainability practices. To that end, we are active in various supply chain initiatives around the world.health outcomes through collaboration.

Risk mapping (BOM, materials, suppliers)

1. Supplier Sustainability Compliance

Two core policy documents form the supplier’s sustainability risk profile related to spend, country of production, business risk and typebasis of supplier relationship. The risk profile is used to select suppliers for inclusion in our sustainability audit program, conflict minerals, hazardous substance management and IDH Electronics program.

Philipscompliance: the Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD) and the Regulated Substances List (RSL).

Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD)

The SSD sets out the standards and behaviors Philips Supplier Sustainability Declarationrequires from its suppliers. The SSD is based on the EICCElectronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct and covers the topics Health & Safety, Labor, Environment, Ethics and Management systems.

Regulated Substances List (RSL)

The RSL specifies which chemical substances are regulated by legislation. Suppliers are required to follow all the requirements stated in line with our General Business Principles, we added requirements on Freedom of Associationthe RSL. Substances can either be marked as restricted or declarable.

Following the SSD and Collective Bargaining. The topics covered include laborRSL, Philips further specifies contractual and human rights, worker health and safety, environmental impact, ethics, and management systems. We monitor supplier compliancetransparency requirements. Suppliers are obliged to contractually commit to the DeclarationSSD and RSL andupon request provide additional information and evidence.

2. Supplier Sustainability Performance (SSP)

Since 2006, our supplier sustainability audits have been executed by third party auditors.

Due to insights gained through a thorough analysis of the audit program and the data it generated in the past 10 years our main conclusions were:

The audit process consists of a third party audit to verify the SSD compliance, it focuses on closing the identified “Non Conformities” and repeats every 3 years. The frequency of checks is not sufficient and the system does not lead to long lasting improvements of regular audits.

In 2012 we updated the Philips Supplier Sustainability Declaration, in linesustainability performance or compliance rate of our suppliers.

Training and capacity-building programs are focused on general sharing of information and not necessarily on driving change or improvements. They do not always meet individual supplier needs.

To secure business continuity, suppliers try to pass the audit with the least possible effort rather than making lasting improvements.

Years of an audit culture which did not focus on long-lasting improvements has led to audit fatigue due to too many audits demanded by other customers.

Based on the above conclusions, Philips identified a need for change and developed a new version“beyond audit” approach which:

Understands that suppliers may have initial deviations from the SSD and RSL.

Accepts that suppliers each have their own organizational – and sustainability maturity level and need an individual improvement plan.

Annual Report 2016      223


Sustainability statements 12.3.8

Is continuousand creates a cultural change leading toward long-term improvements.

Ultimately leads toone-cross-industry standard for supplier sites and will therefore remove the audit burden.

The new SSP approach has been piloted in 2016 on a sample of 93 suppliers in China with the following results:

90% of the suppliers completed a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), 57% of which were validated by Philips sustainability experts.

Followed by a site assessment at 20 supplier sites.

Through joint efforts an improvement Plan (IP) was developed and agreed upon with these 20 suppliers.

These 20 suppliers started executing the Improvement Plan, while Philips provides support and monitors progress on a regular basis.

The following observations were made after analyzing the first phase of the pilot:

Higher level of commitment and ownership from suppliers (also at top management level).

Change in mindset towards continuous improvement and transparency.

Suppliers are disclosing more areas for improvement than it would be possible to identify through an audit only.

Suppliers are moving away from quick fixes and towards lasting improvements.

Three key focus areas of SSP

We are primarily focusing on 3 areas: Health and Safety, remuneration and benefits, and workforce turnover.

Process Chemicals

Philips is an active member of the EICC Codeproject team on process chemicals, for further details on the strategy and approach of Conduct.this project see theEICC position paper. In 2013,addition to this project team we rolled-outhave addressed the updated Declaration viatopic of process chemicals in the new purchasing contracts signed with suppliers,SSP approach and via all trainingswe aim to identify if and audits done per January 1, 2013. The updated Declaration includes 4 entirely new provisions, and 14 updates to existing provisions. The new provisionshow the manufacturing sites are related to responsible sourcingmanaging process chemicals.

Summary of minerals, protection of privacy, non-retaliation, and supplier responsibility to monitor code compliance at next tier suppliers.

The Declaration requires suppliers to cascade the EICC Code down to their next tier suppliers. Suppliers must regard the Code as a total supply chain initiative and at a minimum, also require its next tier suppliers to acknowledge and implement the Code. This roll-out to deeper levels in the supply chain is reviewed during the on-site audits, where it is assessed how requirements have been communicated to the next tier suppliers and whether there is an effective process in place to ensure that the next tier suppliers implement the Code.

Risk suppliers with who we have a direct business relationship are included in the supplier sustainability audit program, and most of these are tier 1 suppliers. However, sometimes Philips also selects and prescribes the tier 2 suppliers, in which case these tier 2 suppliers will also be included in the audit program.

Supplier2016 Sustainability Audit Program

We monitor supplier compliance with the Declaration through a system of regular audits. During these audits, an independent external party visits the supplier’s site for several man-days to hold interviews with workers and management, do a factory tour, and review documentation. Based on their risk profile, 572 risk suppliers are included in the supplier audit and development program; the majority of these are in China. During the audits, compliance with all sections of the Declaration is reviewed. In the event of non-compliance (NC) we require suppliers to make a corrective action plan, and we monitor its implementation until all major NCs are resolved. Full-scope audits are conducted in a 3-year cycle; to date we have audited 90% of all identified risk suppliers.

2013 Audits

In 20132016, we audited 200226 of our current risk suppliers, including 131150 continued conformance audits with suppliers that we had already audited in 2010. Risk suppliers from recently acquired companies are also included, and this year we audited 27 suppliers from the acquisitions of Povos and Preethi.2013. As in previous years, the majority of the audits were done in China. Also in Brazil, India and Mexico audits were done, as well as a small number of audits in Indonesia, Ukraine and Vietnam. With these audits we directly or indirectly impacted over 110,000almost 180,000 workers employed at the production sites that were audited.

LOGO

On top of the audits with current risk suppliers, we also audited 5928 potential suppliers during the supplier selection process. These potential suppliers need to close anyzero-tolerance issues before they can start delivering to Philips. Below we report on the findings at existing suppliers only; findings at potential suppliers are not included in this report since these suppliers are not (yet) part of Philips’ supply base.

228      Annual Report 2013


13 Sustainability statements 13.2.2 - 13.2.2

To track improvements Philips measures the ‘compliance rate’ for the identified risk suppliers, being the percentage of risk suppliers was audited within the last 3 years and don’twho do not have or have resolved all major NCs. During 20132016 we achieved a compliance rate of 77% (2012: 75%90% (2015: 86%).

LOGO

Per January 2013 we rolled out an updated version of the Philips Supplier Sustainability Declaration and audit checklist. Philips follows the EICC classification for distinguishing major and minor NCs, and in the new audit checklist the classification of what is a major and what is a minor NC changed for several topics. This explains some of the differences in audit findings 2013 compared to 2012.

Audit findings

BelowThe table below shows the results of the full scope audits done during 2013. When the audit reveals2016; potential suppliers are not included. Most frequent areas ofnon-compliance we request suppliers to implement corrective actions and our sustainability experts and independent third party auditors monitor the implementation during resolution audits. The results of the resolution audits are not included in the table below.

Positive trends compared to last year2016:

 

Occupational safety (NCs down 29%)

Certified Management System (ISO9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS18001)

 

Working hours (on average 22% less NCs in 2013)

Emergency Preparedness

 

Emergency preparedness (NCs down 8%)

Wages and benefits (NCs down 8%)Benefits

Above topics belong to the most frequently observed areas of non- compliance and therefore, during our supplier development activities and visits we have paid more attention to these topics in 2013.

Negative trends compared to last year

Business integrity (NCs up 28% – no training provided for employees)

Freely chosen employment (NCs up 11% – workers paying deposits)

Child labor prohibition/young worker management (NCs up 10% – young employees working overtime)

Above increases we believe are mostly the result of more stringent criteria in the new EICC audit checklist.

Management systems

There may be areas where our audits reveal compliance in actual practice, but the related underlying management systems to safeguard continued compliance may not be sufficient. Therefore, also management systems are reviewed during the audits. Although the 2013 audits show improvements compared to previous years, we see this as a continued weak area at suppliers where further capacity building is necessary. Related to management systems the most frequently observed NCs are a lack of third-party certified management systems, supplier responsibility (EICC Code requirements have not been communicated to the next tier suppliers), insufficient management accountability and responsibility, and absence of improvement objectives.

General

EICC Code

<1025-5010-2550-7510-25

1)

Freely Chosen Employment: these cases are related to workers having to pay a deposit to their employer, which is not acceptable under the EICC Code of Conduct. We requested suppliers to take corrective action and verified that the deposits were returned to the workers and supplier policies were changed.

2)

Child labor avoidance/young worker management: this is related to A) 20 cases of young workers (16 – 18 years) working overtime hours, which is not allowed by local laws. We requested suppliers to stop this and verified implementation of corrective action during resolving audits. B) two cases of historic child labor, where a labor agency and a supplier hired 2 workers a couple of months prior to reaching the legal age. We requested suppliers to strengthen its management system and age verification procedure, and ensured that the workers were enrolled in the young worker management program. If we find any cases of child labor, we require suppliers to take immediate action according to the ILO guidelines for employers of child labor, see also our child labor policy

Implementing corrective actions

On average we see 12 major NCs per supplier audit, and work with each supplier to resolve these NCs within 90 days where possible. Goal is to improve the conditions in the supplier factories. Therefore, we focus on training, supplier development and implementation of corrective action plans with those suppliers. In exceptional cases where the supplier is unwilling to improve, we will decide to end the business relationship, which we did for 15 suppliers in 2013.

If Philips notices that there is a delay in the realization of the corrective action plan by the supplier, Philips uses a stratified approach for consequence management. Depending on the root cause why the supplier is not taking sufficient corrective actions, Philips can decide to: send a formal warning to the supplier; allocate no new projects; allocate no new orders; or stop doing business.

Supplier training and capacity building

Based on many years of experience with the audit program, we know that a combination of audits, capacity building, consequence management and structural attention from management is crucial to realize structural and lasting changes at supplier production sites.

Developing risk suppliers

Since 2012 we are extending our capacity building initiatives which are offered to help suppliers improve their practices. We organize classroom training sessions, Philips sustainability experts regularly visit suppliers to provide on-site consultancy and training, and we invite suppliers to participate in trainings provided by the EICC.

This is what we did different in 2013 training sessions, to improve the impact of the supplier trainings and audit results:

Smaller groups (less than 40 attendees per training, more training sessions, 22 full days of training were given), to enable more interaction and dialogue with and between suppliers

Suppliers performed self-assessments prior to the training

Suppliers learned how to do a self-audit after the training, Philips experts helped suppliers in this process and with the follow-up actions

In China we invited suppliers for classroom training sessions which were attended by over 190 active and potential suppliers, representing a workforce of more than 120,000 factory workers in total. Next to basic training on the EICC Code of Conduct, dedicated trainings were provided for areas where we often see weak performance during the audits, e.g. fire safety, working hours, and management systems.

We continued our training programs for Philips buyers and quality managers, supporting them to further integrate sustainability in their daily work with suppliers.

Sustainable Trade Initiative IDH

Since 2011 Philips has been an active initiator and participant in the IDH Electronics Program, a multi-stakeholder initiative sponsored by the Dutch government to accelerate sustainable trade by building partnerships between leading multinationals, civil society organizations, governments, and other stakeholders.

The IDH Electronics Program aims to support the development of sustainable and innovative workforce management practices for over 75 suppliers. Unlike other CSR programs that have been implemented previously in the industry, this program steers away from traditional auditing methods and seeks to make a significant impact by building and up-scaling the skills of both workers and management. By promoting worker-management dialogue and helping to develop employees’ skills and careers, the program strives to reduce employee turnover and wastage, improve energy efficiency and improve the overall performance of supplier factories. The goal is to improve working conditions for more than 500,000 employees in the electronics sector.

Participating suppliers are given an ‘Entry Point Assessment’ to identify issues that affect both factory management and employees, such as worker-management communication, occupational health and safety,

The supply chains of minerals are long and environmental issues. This is then used to develop a tailor-made action plan with each supplier, based on improved dialoguecomplex. There are typically 7+ tiers between management and employees. Suppliers receive support over a period of up to 24 months, and the cost of the program is shared between the supplier,end-user companies like Philips and the IDH.

In 2013, IDH was extended frommines where the Pearl River Delta Area to include the Yangtze River Delta area. As of year-end 2013, the program covers 52 suppliers to Philips, Apple, Nokia, Dell and Hewlett-Packard. A total of 15 Philips suppliersminerals are now involved in the program, seven in the Yangtze River Delta area and eight in the Pearl River Delta Area, covering around 17,000 employees. Together with other branded goods manufacturers, we are going beyond a supplier audit. In order to ensure a worthwhile output we are also working together with suppliers and the IDH program team to identify the top three improvement actions, and we are monitoring progress closely. Suppliers such as ‘company B’ are starting to see the benefits of this program.

IDH case study

B is a company based in Hong Kong, which has an electronics factory located in Dongguan, China. As a Philips supplier, B has been involved in the IDH Electronics Program since January 2013.

B has implemented a series of improvement plans in different areas, including worker-management communication, workers’ welfare and pay, health and safety, factory facilities and production. These improvement actions have resulted in increased productivity and greater employee satisfaction.

To improve worker-management communication, for example, B has set up a factory improvement team made up of front-line production workers, departmental representatives and managerial staff. B’s management believes that talking directly to front-line workers gives a more accurate picture of what is going on in the company than hear-say reports that are passed up through the organizational hierarchy. The team structure helps to facilitate B’s cultural values of mutual respect and open communication.

In the coming years B’s management will continue their active cooperation and dialogue with employees. Challenges will be identified jointly through constructive dialogue facilitated by the IDH Program.

Issues further down the chain

Conflict minerals

In line with Philips’ commitment to supply chain sustainability, we feel obliged to implement measures in our chain to ensure that our products are not directly or indirectly funding human atrocities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We are concerned about the situation in eastern DRC where proceeds from the extractives sector are used to finance rebel conflicts in the region. Philips is committed to address this issue, even though it does not directly source minerals from mines in in the DRC. Theconflict-affected and high-risk regions, and the supply chain for thethese metals of concern consists of many tiers, including mines, traders, exporters, smelters, refiners, alloy producers and component manufacturers, before reaching Philips’ direct suppliers.

Mining in these regions often takes place in an artisanal form which often means it is informal and unregulated. Artisanal miners can become victims to exploitation by various militia and armed groups. This increases the risk of human rights violations (forced labor, child labor or widespread sexual violence), unsafe working conditions or environmental concerns.

Philips addresses the complexities of the minerals supply chains through a continuous due diligence process combined with multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals.

Conflict minerals due diligence

Philips hasannually investigates its supply chain to identify smelters of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold in its supply chain and we have committed not to purchase raw materials, subassemblies, or supplies which we knoware found to contain conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country. Philips works towards the following goals:

Minimize trade in conflict minerals that benefit armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country

Enable legitimate minerals from the region to enter global supply chains, thereby supporting the Congolese economy and the local communities that depend on these exports.

What are conflict minerals?

Conflict minerals are defined in the US Dodd-Frank Act as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. They can come from many sources around the world, including mines in the DRC which are estimated to provide approximately 18% of global tantalum production, 4% of tin, 3% of tungsten, and 2% of gold. These minerals may end up in many different products such as cars, planes, chemicals, jewelry, packaging, and electronics equipment.minerals.

Collaboration with different stakeholders

We believe that industry collaboration and stakeholder dialogue are key to creating impact at these deeper levels of our supply chain. Since 2008 Philips is actively contributing to theapplies collective cross-industry leverage through active engagement via Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative a joint effort founded by a coalition of leading electronics companies from the industry organizations EICC and GeSI (formerly called the “EICC-GeSI Extractives Work Group”)(CFSI). Over 120 companies participate in this initiative today, and we have formed partnerships with other leadership groups from across industries, government and civil society. The Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative provides information on conflict-free smelters and refiners, common tools and standards to collect supply chain information, and forums for exchanging best practices. It is amulti-sector, multi-stakeholder network, and reduces the need for duplication of efforts across the many sectors that are using these minerals. See also www.conflictfreesmelter.org

As we have been doing for years, we continued in 2013 our engagement with relevant stakeholders including the European Parliament, other industry organizations and local as well as international NGOs in Europe and the U.S. to see how we can resolve the issue. To assist in developing a due diligence standard for conflict minerals, we participated in the multi-stakeholder OECD-hosted program for the implementation of the “OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals fromConflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas”.

Supply chain due diligence

In 2013 we continued our work with 349 priority suppliers to raise awareness and conduct supply chain investigations into the country of origin for the metals. These suppliers cover more than 80% of the relevant purchasing spend. Using the standard Conflict Minerals Reporting

232      Annual Report 2013


13 Sustainability statements 13.2.2 - 13.2.2

Template we requested our suppliers to report back their progress and to disclose which smelters are used in their supply chains to produce the metals.

LOGO

Progress on smelter identification

Philips suppliers have provided the names of several hundred possible smelters and we are working to confirm which of these actually are smelters. For all four metals together we now identified 191 confirmed smelters in our supply chain, of which the majority is located in Asia. 29% of these successfully passed their Conflict FreeConflict-Free Smelter (CFS) assessment, thereby confirming their conflict-free status. None of the smelters identified in our supply chain is known to source minerals that benefit armed groups in the DRC, and our suppliers reported back that they provide us with conflict-free products. Nevertheless, we continue to urge smelters to confirm their status via independent third party assessments.

Philips was the first company to publish its smelter list on internet in 2012. In doing so we created transparency at deeper levels in our supply chain of those actors that we believe hold the key towards effectively addressing the concerns around conflict minerals. In 2013 we updated the smelter list with new information received from our suppliers, and we will continue to do so as more information becomes available over time.

Conflict-free smelter program

Smelters mix minerals from many sources and refine it into metal used in our industry. The smelter is at a key point in the supply chain to enforce responsible sourcing by implementing due diligence in selecting their mineral sources. The EICC-GeSI CFS program makes it possible to identifyProgram (CFSP) identifies smelters that can demonstrate through an independent third party assessmentthird-party audit that the minerals they procure did not originate from sources that contribute toare conflict in the DRC. After having identified smelters in our supply chain,free. Philips started to invite these smelters to participate in the CFS program.

A list of CFS compliant smelters for tin, tantalum and gold has been published, and assessments for tungsten smelters are under way. As sufficient conflict-free smelters for all four metals become available, Philips plans to directis actively directing its supply chain towards these smelters. Seewww.conflictfreesmelter.org for more details.

The Philips Conflict Free Tin Initiative

In September 2012,Minerals due diligence framework, measures and outcomes are described in the Conflict Free Tin Initiative was launched, introducingMinerals Report that we file annually with SEC. The Report is audited by an independent third party and made publicly available on Philips’website.

Multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals

We believe that a tightly controlled conflict-free supply chainmulti-stakeholder collaboration in responsible sourcing of minerals is the most viable approach in addressing the complexities of minerals value chains.

European Partnership for tin, fromResponsible Minerals (EPRM)

EPRM is a mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) all the way to an end-product. Philips is one of the industry partners brought together by the Dutch government that initiated this conflict-free sourcing program in eastern DRC. In an effort to preventfive-year multi-stakeholder partnership between governments, companies, and civil society actors working toward more sustainable minerals from financing war, many companies worldwide have refrained from purchasing minerals from the DRC, leading to a de facto embargo and a collapse of the local economy.

The easiest route would have been to simply abandon sources from the DRC and nearby countries (forbidding suppliers from sourcing there) and to rely instead on supplies from conflict-free regions. However, we decided against that approach. Instead of avoiding the DRC, we took the more difficult road, supporting conflict-free sources within the region.

Operational carbon footprint and energy efficiency

Operational energy efficiency and carbon footprint: 2013 detailsThe circular economy program

The 2013 results can be attributed to several factors:circular economy program at Philips ran for the fourth year in 2016 and consists of four strategic pillars:

 

1.

Accounting for 45% of the total footprint, total CO2 emissions from manufacturing increased due the higher use of SF6 (a substance with high Global Warming Potential impact) in our Lighting manufacturing operations. This was, however, partly offset by our continued focus on energy efficiency improvement programs, our changing industrial footprint, the further increase of the share of purchased electricity from renewable sourcesConnect to 50% of total purchased electricity.

stakeholders outside Philips

 

2.

CO2 emissions from non-industrial operations (offices, warehouses, etc.) represent 7% of the total. The overall floor space decreased significantly in 2013 as a result of our Work Place Innovation program, which promotes flex-working and thus reduces the floor space in our real estate portfolio. As a result, emissions reduced 20% compared to 2012 as we also continued to focus on the most efficient use of facility space and increased the share of purchased electricity from renewable sources.

Internal employee engagement

 

3.

The total CO2 emissions related to business travel, accounting for 14% of our carbon footprint, increased 5%. This is mainly attributable to Philips’ increasing presence in emerging markets. Our stringent in-house travel policy remains in place, as does our Green Lease Car policy.

Create proof points and metrics

 

4.

Overall CO2 emissions from logistics, representing approximately one third of the total, increased 5% compared to 2012. We recorded an increaseEmbed circular economy in sea freight, confirming the effect of our gatekeeping process to move freight from air to sea. However, increased air shipments to address supply shortages in our Lighting sector mitigated the reduction realized by this policy.

Philips processes

Philips leverages partnerships with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Circle Economy Netherlands, World Economic Forum, US Chamber of Commerce Foundation and The Guardian. For example, through the leadership of our CEO and supported by the circular economy program, Philips teamed up with the World Economic Forum to establish a public-private platform to accelerate the circular economy, launched in Davos in January 2017.

234      In many Philips Business Groups circular economy projects have started. These are either linked to customer access over ownership (pay for performance), business model innovations (from transactions to

relationships via service and solution models) or reverse cycles (remanufacturing, refurbishment and parts harvesting).

Circular Revenues

In 2016, at Royal Philips, a new internal KPI was developed and deployed: Circular Revenues. The Circular Revenues percentage captures our revenues of validated circular products, services, and solutions, as a % of total Philips revenues. The validation is done against the following Philips circularity requirements which might be further refined in the future:

1. Performance and Access-based models

Revenues from contracts that include the condition that Philips has individualend-of-life responsibility for the product

2. Refurbished, Reconditioned & Remanufactured products/systems

Revenues from selling refurbished, reconditioned or remanufactured products/systems withre-used components >30% by total weight of product/ system

3. Refurbished, Reconditioned & Remanufactured components

Revenue from harvested components that have either been refurbished, reconditioned or remanufactured. The harvested component must contain >30%re-used parts or materials by total component weight. The component can either be a standalone component or part of a new product/system. The commercial value of the components is considered irrespective of whether it is part of a service, warranty or a sale.

4. Upgrades/refurbishment on site or remote

Revenue from upgrades of existing hardware and software either on site or remotely

5. Products with recycled plastics content

Revenues from products with a recycled plastics content of >25% by total weight of eligible plastics

We set the ambition that by 2020 a total of 15% of our revenues will come from circular propositions. This is double the rate of 7% baseline achieved in 2015. The result for 2016 is 9%. The main contributing revenue streams are for:

Personal Health businesses

Revenues from our B2C products that contain a large amount of recycled plastics, such as our businesses in coffee and domestic appliances

Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Our Diamond Select offer of refurbished imaging systems for sale, upgrading of systems at customer premises to enhance performance and extend lifetime, repair and reuse of spare parts

Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

A number of Philips businesses based on subscription models, such as for example the Philips Lifeline business and others

Closing material loops

In addition to tracking circular revenue, we are also further working to gain transparency over the material flows connected with the Philips businesses. In 2016 Philips put a total of some 242,000 tonnes of products on the market. This assessment is based on sales data combined with product-specific weights. 85% of the total product weight was delivered through our B2C businesses in Personal Health and 15% through our B2B businesses (Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses).

We can account for some 19,000 tonnes or approximately 10% of those products being collected,re-used or recycled globally in 2015. Europe has advanced collection systems in place. In these countries we have an average return rate of around40-50%. National legislation is required to create the level playing field needed to set up efficient recycling systems beyond the EU. The main pathways and quantities for materialre-use in 2015 were:

Trade-in and return for resale as refurbished products and for spare parts harvesting (Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics) some 2,400 tonnes, largely unchanged from 2014.

Collective collection and recycling schemes according to the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) collection schemes. Those products are broken down into the main material fractions and provided to the market via our recycling partners

800 tonnes from Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics field returns, following the WEEE category 8 classification, indicating a slight decrease compared to the previous year (900 tonnes)

16,000 tonnes from Personal Health, following the WEEE category 2 classification

On the demand side, the Personal Health businesses havere-integrated significantly more recycled plastics in new products than last year, closing the material loop for some 1,440 tonnes of plastics, up from 900 tonnes in 2015.

Philips recognizes the importance of healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity for our company, our employees, and society as a whole. We aim to minimize any negative impacts and actively promote ecosystem restoration activities including biodiversity restoration projects with social components, sustainable development, poverty relief,activities.

The Philips Biodiversity policy was issued in 2014 and carbon offsetting.

In 2013 Philipsprogress was made significant steps forward inon biodiversity management, both on sites (e.g. impact measurement), on natural capital valuation and on theat management level. The stepsMost initiatives were led by the Philips Leadersenvironmental coordinators at our sites, for Nature (LFN) team, site management, local sustainability organizations worldwide, sustainability managers,example at our Best and Group SustainabilityDrachten sites in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. We made intensive use of the internal company-wide social network platform to create and share activities and achievements including training programs. We continued our global partnership with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)The Netherlands, Committee and our participation in the IUCN LFN program which brings companies, NGOs and government together to workserve as role models on the topic of business and biodiversity.

Our projectsPhilips participated in 2013 included improving our understanding2015 in the development of biodiversity by organizing together with the IUCN a very well-attended Business & Ecosystems Training (BET) on the topics of Natural Capital Ecosystem ServicesProtocol and Biodiversityvolunteered as a pilot company. These activities continued in 2016. The environmental impact of the Royal Philips sites is limited as they are not very energy-intensive and the link to business. We worked on actively preserving biodiversity in and around our industrial sites with local communities and environmental organizations. In the Netherlands, the Drachten Consumer Lifestyle and Best Healthcare plants restructured their sites for optimal restorationdo not emit large quantities of biodiversity and employee well-being. Other examples are a large-scale employee-led biodiversity initiative in Reedsville, Pennsylvania; and conservation efforts in the Miribel (France), Ketrzyn Farel and Pila (Poland), San Jose (USA), Varginha (Brazil), and Pune (India) sites for example. In addition Philips employees established a community garden at theHigh-Tech Campus in Eindhoven (the Netherlands). A diverse team organized several internal and external events for the Netherlands sustainability day in October 2013 – including an introduction to the Circular Economy program and a product disassembly workshop. Finally, Philips co-hosted the “Mind Your Business” event with PwC and the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs on ‘The transition to a bio-based economy – the role of government, thehigh-impact substances. The impact of/for companies, and partnerships/networks – the necessity of joint projects and knowledge sharing’.

We also conducted a biodiversity survey and water risk investigation of our industrial sites. The biodiversity survey results have enabled us to build a knowledge basesupply chain however is significantly higher than our own impact. For this reason, we used the identifiedhot-spots in our supply chain as input for our CDP Supply Chain program. More information on that program can be found insub-section 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of endangered and resident species, nature reserves and wildlife corridors, biodiversity initiatives and partnerships at Philips industrial sites. This will enable us to prepare biodiversity guidelines for sites.

Philips commissioned Trucost, in 2013, to perform an Environmental Profit and Loss (EP&L) analysis using 2012 data to help identify natural capital dependency “hot spots” and place a financial value on Philips environmental impacts. The preliminary results show that between 2007 and 2012 Philips was able to decrease its exposure to natural capital risks and hence be better positioned to succeed in a natural capital constrained economy. Together with the WBCSD we will further develop the EP&L concept and methodology, including the environmental benefits.

To build and expand the Philips biodiversity strategy Philips has developed a biodiversity policy.this report.

13.3.3 Green12.4.3 Sustainable Operations

In 2010, we decided to group all activitiesThe Royal Philips HealthTech businesses and Philips Lighting Sustainable Operations programs related to improving the environmental performance of our manufacturing facilities (including chemicals management) under the Green Manufacturing 2015 program, which we renamed to Green Operations. The program focusesfocus on most contributors to climate change, but also addressesaddress water, recycling of waste and chemical substances.

In the courseFor an overview of 2013 we implemented an improved process to report chemicals used in processes in more detail. Based on the new insights gained, we included a few additional substances to our reporting scope in 2013. These substances do not have a material impact on our reported data. New chemicals on which we will focus our reduction efforts and new reduction targets will be incorporated in the next Green Operations program.Philips’ industrial sites, please visit: Philips industrial sites.

Energy use in manufacturing

Total energy usage in manufacturing amounted to 14,1608,987 terajoules in 2013,2016, a decrease of 7% compared to 2015. Philips Lighting consumed about 66% of the total and realized a 13%year-on-year reduction, which Lighting consumes about 79%. Compared to 2012, energy consumption at Philips went down by 2%. This was mainly driven by new acquisitions reporting for the first time, organizational changesa reduction of energy-intensive operations and energy efficiency improvements in the factories. The Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses realized a decrease in energy consumption of 5% due to operational changes. Energy consumption in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses increased by 8%, which was mainly due to the inclusion of two newly acquired sites. In the Personal Health businesses, site expansions and changed demand caused an increase in energy consumption, which was partly offset by energy efficiency improvements. The energy of discontinued operations amounted to 2,231 terajoules in 2016 (2015: 2,179 terajoules).

Operational carbon footprint and energy efficiency - 2016 details

Becoming carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020 is one of the key targets, after already reducing our operational carbon footprint very significantly during the past years (40% decrease in CO2 emissions in 2015 compared to our 2007 base year). Our carbon footprint decreased by 5% compared to 2015, resulting in a total of 1,344 kilotonnes CO2.

The 2016 results can be attributed to several factors:

Accounting for 24% of the total footprint, total CO2 emissions from manufacturing decreased by 17% due to operational changes resulting in decreased energy usage and a lower load (mainly in Philips Lighting); additionally the share coming from renewable sources increased.

CO2 emissions fromnon-industrial operations (offices, warehouses, etc.), representing 8% of the total emissions, increased this year due to increased overall floor space in ournon-industrial real estate portfolio. This resulted in a 3% carbon emission increase compared to 2015. In 2017, we will continue to focus on the most efficient use of facility space and increase the share of purchased electricity from renewable sources.

The total CO2 emissions related to business travel, accounting for 14% of our carbon footprint, showed a decrease of 4% compared to 2015. The reductions achieved with business flights and our lease cars was partially mitigated by an increase in our rental car emissions.

Overall CO2 emissions from logistics, representing 53% of the total, showed no overall change compared to 2015. We recorded an increase in emissions from air and road freight in Royal Philips, which was mitigated by a decrease in Philips Lighting.

Annual Report 2016      229


Sustainability statements 12.4.3

This increase in air freight combined with reduced emissions from parcel, road and ocean freight resulted in no overall change in our logistics emissions.

2 emissions decreased significantly at Philips Lighting due to reduced energy usage resulting from operational changes and energy efficiency improvements. Emissions at the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses decreased due to an increase in use of restricted substances totaled 9 kiloselectricity generated by renewable sources, partially offset by two newly acquired sites. The Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment decreased its CO2 emissions due to lower energy consumption. At the Personal Health businesses, CO2 emissions increased due to a decrease in 2013, a significant decrease comparedthe use of electricity generated by renewable sources. In December 2016, the Los Mirasoles windfarm in the US started to 2012 mainly asproduce electricity. As a result, all our US operations will be powered by wind energy in 2017, a clear step towards our ambition to become carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020.

Hazardous substances emissions

In the ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program, new chemical reduction targets have been defined, on the most relevant categories of substances for Royal Philips, being hazardous substance emissions as well as VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. As part of the continued reduction in mercury emissions in Lighting, and more accurate measurements. With the Green Operations program we continue to focus on a selectiondeployment of the most importantnew program, reduction targets at our industrial sites are being agreed.

the policy and business operations with regard to sustainability; and

the thereto related events and achievements for the year ended December 31, 2016

in accordance with the GRI Standards of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) (option Comprehensive) and the supplemental internally applied reporting criteria.criteria as disclosed in section 12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting in chapter 12 Sustainability statements of the annual report 2016.

Basis for our opinion

We have performed our audit on the Sustainability Information in accordance with Dutch law, including Dutch Standard 3810N “Assurance engagements relating to sustainability reports”. Dutch Standard 3810N is a subject specific standard under the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information”. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Section “Our responsibilities for the audit of the Sustainability Information”.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the “Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten” (ViO) (Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a Dutch 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. Furthermore, we have complied with the “Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants” (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

Our Scope

The Sustainability Information comprises chapter 12 Sustainability statements and sections 2.2 Social performance and 2.3 Environmental performance of the annual report 2016 and provides a representation of the Company’s policy, the related business operations, events and achievements relating to sustainability during 2016.

The Sustainability Information includes prospective information such as ambitions, strategy, plans, expectations and estimates. Inherent to this information is that the actual results may differ in the future and are therefore uncertain. We do not provide any assurance on the achievability and feasibility of this prospective information.

The references, excluding “Methodology for calculating Lives Improved” and “GRI content index”, in the Sustainability Information (www.philips.com, external websites, interviews and other documents) are outside the scope of our assurance engagement.

We have read the information on sustainability in the rest of the objectives, targetsannual report 2016 and expectations of Philips.

Responsibilities of management for the Sustainability Information

Management of the Global Reporting Initiative supported byCompany is responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Information in accordance with the GRI Standards (option Comprehensive) and the supplemental internally developed guidelinesapplied reporting criteria as describeddisclosed in section 12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting in the chapter 12 Sustainability statements of this Annual Report. Itthe annual report 2016. This responsibility includes the identification of stakeholders and the determination of material aspects. The choices made by management regarding the scope of the Sustainability Information and the reporting policy of the Company is importantsummarized in section 12.1 Approach to viewsustainability reporting.

Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the performance datapreparation of the Sustainability Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or errors.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the Sustainability Information

Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high, but not absolute level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errors and are considered material if, individually or in the contextaggregate, they could reasonably

be expected to influence the economic decisions of these criteria.users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Information. 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 conducted our engagementapply the “Nadere voorschriften accountantskantoren ter zake van assurance opdrachten (RA/AA)” and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with the Dutch Standard 3410N: Assurance engagements relating to sustainability reports3810N, ethical requirements and which is a specific part of the International Standard for Assurance Engagement (ISAE 3000): Assurance Engagement other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires, among others, that the assurance team possesses the specific knowledge, skills and professional competencies needed to provide assurance on sustainability information, and that they comply with the requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Federation of Accountants to ensure their independence.

Work undertakenindependence requirements.

Our proceduresaudit included performing a risk assessment (part of which was a media search), assessingamongst others:

Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used, evaluatingreporting policy, its consistent application, including the evaluation of the results of the stakeholders’ dialogue, the reasonableness of management’s estimates and the related disclosures made by management.

Performing an external environment analysis and obtaining insight into relevant social themes and issues and the characteristics of the organization.

Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the Sustainability Information, whether due to errors or fraud, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from errors, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Interviewing management and relevant staff responsible for the sustainability’s strategy, policy and achievements.

Interviewing relevant staff at corporate level responsible for providing the information in the Sustainability Information, carrying out internal control procedures on the data and consolidating the data in the Sustainability Information.

14 Reconciliation of non-GAAP information

Explanation of Non-GAAP measures

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the ‘Company’) believes that an understanding of sales performance is enhanced when the effects of currency movements and acquisitions and divestments (changes in consolidation) are excluded. Accordingly, in addition to presenting ‘nominal growth’, ‘comparable growth’ is provided.

Comparable sales exclude the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. As indicated in the Significant accounting policies, sales and income are translated from foreign currencies into the Company’s reporting currency, the euro, at the exchange rate on transaction dates during the respective years. As a result of significant currency movements during the years presented, the effects of translating foreign currency sales amounts into euros could have a material impact. Therefore, these impacts have been excluded in arriving at the comparable sales in euros. Currency effects have been calculated by translating previous years’ foreign currency sales amounts into euros at the following year’s exchange rates in comparison with the sales in euros as historically reported. Years under review were characterized by a number of acquisitions and divestments, as a result of which 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 growth, when a previously consolidated entity is sold or contributed to a venture that is not consolidated by the Company, relevant sales are excluded from impacted prior-year periods. Similarly, when an entity is acquired, relevant sales are excluded from impacted periods.

The Company uses the term IFO and Adjusted IFO to evaluate the performance of the Philips Group and its operating sectors. The term IFO has the same meaning as Income from operations (IFO). Referencing Adjusted IFO will make the underlying performance of our businesses more transparent by factoring out the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before amortization and impairment of intangible assets generated in acquisitions (excluding software and capitalized development expenses).

The Company believes that an understanding of the Philips Group’s financial condition is enhanced by the disclosure of net operating capital (NOC), as this figure is used by Philips’ management to evaluate the capital efficiency of the Philips Group and its operating sectors. NOC is defined as: total assets excluding assets classified as held for sale less: (a) cash and cash equivalents, (b) deferred tax assets, (c) other non-current financial assets and current financial assets, (d) investments in associates, and after deduction of: (e) provisions (f) accounts and notes payable, (g) accrued liabilities, (h) other non-current liabilities and other current liabilities.

Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. The net debt position as a percentage of the sum of group equity (shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests) and net debt is presented to express the financial strength of the Company. This measure is widely used by management and investment analysts and is therefore included in the disclosure. Our net debt position is managed in such a way that we expect to continiously meet our objective to retain an A3 rating (Moody’s) and A- rating (Standard and Poor’s). Furthermore, the Group’s objective when managing the net debt position is to fulfill our commitment to a stable dividend policy with a 40% to 50% pay-out of continuing net income.

Cash flows before financing activities, being the sum of net cash from operating activities and net cash from investing activities, and free cash flow, being net cash from operating activities minus net capital expenditures, are presented separately to facilitate the reader’s understanding of the Company’s funding requirements.

Net capital expenditures comprise of purchase of intangible assets, proceeds from sale of intangible assets, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. This measure is widely used by management to calculate free cash flow.

Adjustments

Prior-period financial statements have been restated for the treatment of Audio, Video, Multimedia and Accessories as discontinued operations (see note 7, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale) and the adoption of IAS 19R, which mainly relates to pension reporting (see note 30, Post-employment benefits)

Share dividends paid out of the Company’spaid-in share premium recognized for Dutch tax purposes are not subject to the above mentionedabove-mentioned withholding tax. Share dividends paid out of the Company’s retained earnings are subject to dividend withholding tax on the nominal value of the shares issued. Pursuant to the provisions of the U.S.US Tax Treaty, a reduced rate may be applicable in respect of dividends paid by the Company to a beneficial owner holding directly 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, if such owner is a company resident ofin the United States (as defined in the U.S.US Tax Treaty) and entitled to the benefits of the U.S.US Tax Treaty.

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

(iii) that other person is entitled to a credit, reduction or refund of dividend withholding tax that is less than that of the recipient.

Dividends paid to qualifying exempt US pension trusts and qualifying exempt US organizations are, under certain conditions, exempt from Dutch withholding tax under the U.S.US Tax Treaty. Qualifying exempt US pension trusts normally remain subject to withholding at the rate of 15% and are required to file for a refund of the tax withheld. Only if certain conditions are fulfilled, such pension trusts may be eligible for relief at source upon

payment of the dividend. However, for qualifying exempt US organizations no relief at source upon payment of the dividend is currently available; such exempt US organizations should apply for a refund of the 15% withholding tax withheld. Further, under certain circumstances, certain exempt organizations (e.g. pension funds) may be eligible for a refund of Dutch withholding tax upon their request pursuant to Dutch tax law. Under proposed Dutch tax law (not yet entered into force as per January 1, 2017), provided certain conditions are met, such (US) organizations may be eligible for relief at source upon request.

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

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

 

3% of the amount of qualifying dividends redistributed by the Company; and

 

3% of the gross amount of certain qualifying dividends received by the Company.

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

Income and capital gains

Income and capital gains derived from the common shares by anon-resident individual ornon-resident corporate shareholder are generally not subject to Dutch income or corporation tax, unless (i) such income and gains are attributable to a (deemed) permanent establishment or (deemed) permanent representative in the Netherlands of the shareholder;Netherlands; or (ii) the shareholder is entitled to a share in the profits of an enterprise or (in the case of anon-resident corporate shareholder only) a co-entitlement to the net worth of an enterprise that is effectively managed in the Netherlands (other than by way of securities) and to which enterprise the common shares are attributable; or (iii) such income and capital gains are derived from a direct, indirect or deemed substantial participation in the share capital of athe company (such substantial participation not being a business asset), and, in the case of anon-resident corporate shareholder only, it being held with the primary aim or one of the primary aims to avoid the levy of income tax or dividend withholding tax from another person;person and is not put in place without valid commercial reasons that reflect economic reality; or (iv) in the case of anon-resident corporate shareholder, such shareholder is a resident of Aruba, Curacao or Saint Martin with a permanent establishment or permanent representative in Bonaire, Eustatius or Saba to which the common shares are attributable while the profits of such shareholderand certain conditions are taxable in the Netherlands pursuant to article 17(3)(c) of the Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act 1969;met; or (v) in the case of anon-resident individual, (a) such individual derives income or capital gains from the common shares that are taxable as benefits from ‘miscellaneous activities’ in the Netherlands (resultaat uit overige werkzaamheden, as defined in the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001), which includes the performance of activities with respect to the ordinarycommon shares that exceed regular portfolio management; or (b) such individual has elected to be treated as a Dutch resident.management.

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

Estate and gift taxes

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

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

has Dutch nationality and has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the ten years preceding the time of thetheir death or gift; or

 

has nodoes not have Dutch nationality but has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the twelve months preceding the time of the gift (for Netherlands gift taxes only).

United States Federal Taxation

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to a US holder (as defined below) of owning common shares. It applies only if the common shares are held as capital assets for

248      Annual Report 2016


Investor Relations 14.7

tax purposes. This section does not apply to a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

 

a dealer in securities,

 

a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,

 

atax-exempt organization,

 

a life insurance company,

 

a person liable for alternative minimum tax,

 

a person thatwho actually or constructively owns 10% or more of our voting stock,

 

a person thatwho holds common shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

 

a person thatwho purchases or sells common shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or

 

a person whose functional currency is not the US dollar.

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

If a partnership holds the common shares, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the common shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the common shares.

A US holder is defined as a beneficial owner of common shares that is:

 

a citizen or resident of the United States,

 

a domestic corporation,

 

an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

 

a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

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

This discussion addresses only United States federal income taxation.

Taxation of Dividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, the gross amount of any dividend paid in stock or cash out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) is subject to United States federal income taxation. For anon-corporate US holder, dividends paid that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at a maximum tax rate of 20%the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that thenon-corporate US holder holds the common shares for more than 60 days during the121-day period beginning 60 days before theex-dividend date and provided it meets other holding period requirements. Dividends paid with respect to the common shares generally will be qualified dividend income 1)1). A US holder must include any Dutch tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though it does not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to a US holder when it receives the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. TheFor dividend payments made in euro, the amount of the dividend distribution that a US holder must include in its income will be the US dollar value of the Euroeuro payments made, determined at the spot Euro/euro/ US dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includiblecan be included in its income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into US dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date a US holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date a US holder converts the payment into US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for

270      Annual Report 2013


16 Investor Relations 16.8 - 16.8

United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as anon-taxable return of capital to the extent of a US holder’s basis in the common shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, US holders should expect to generally treat distributions we make as dividends.

Subject to certain limitations, the Dutch tax withheld in accordance with the U.S.US Tax Treaty and paid over to the Netherlands will be creditable or deductible against a US holder’s United States federal income tax liability. However, Dutch withholding tax may not be creditable or deductible to the extent that we reduce (as described above under “Dutch taxation - Dividend withholding tax”) the amount of withholding tax paid over to the Netherlands by crediting taxes withheld from certain dividends received by us. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the maximum 20%preferential tax rate.rates. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available under Dutch law, or under the U.S.US Tax Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against United States federal income tax liability. Dividends will be income from sources outside the United States, and depending on a holder’s circumstances, will generally be either “passive”

Annual Report 2016      249


Investor Relations 14.7

“passive” or “general” income for the purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the holder.

Taxation of Capital Gains

A US holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its common shares will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount that it realizes and its tax basis, determined in US dollars, in its common shares. Capital gain of a non-corporate US holder is generally taxed at a maximumpreferential tax rate of 20%rates where the holder has a holding period greater than one year2)2). The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

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

 

1)In addition, a US holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the US holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the US holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (the “Medicare tax”). A US holder’s net investment income generally includes its dividend income.
2)In addition, the gain or loss is generally included in a US holder’s net investment income, which may be subject to a 3.8% tax as described in the discussion of the Medicare tax under the heading – “Taxation of Dividends”.

Fees and Charges Payable by a Holder of New York Registry Shares

Citibank, N.A., as the US registrar, transfer agent, paying agent and shareholder servicing agent (“Agent”) under Philips’ New York Registry Share program (the “Program”), collects fees for delivery and surrender of New York Registry Shares directly from investors depositing ordinary shares or surrendering New York Registry Shares for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The Agent collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of the distributable property to pay the fees.

The charges of the Agent payable by investors are as follows:

The New York Transfer Agent charges shareholders a fee of up to USD 5.00 per 100 shares for the exchange of New York Registry shares for ordinary shares and vice versa.

Fees and Payments made by the Agent to PhilipsGreen Innovation

The Agent has agreed to reimburse certain expensesGreen Innovation is a subset of Philips relatedSustainable Innovation and is defined as all R&D activities directly contributing to the Programdevelopment of Green Products and incurredSolutions or Green Technologies; it contributes to SDG 12. This means all products, systems or services that demonstrate a measurable positive impact on energy efficiency (10% or greater than previous products or legal requirements), and preferably also in one or more green focal areas: Circularity, Weight & Materials, Packaging, and Substances. Green Innovation for Lighting is calculated by multiplying the total R&D spend by percentages for sustainable innovation per Business Group (LED 100%, Professionals 95%, Home is 97% and Lamps 15%). These percentages are an assessment of the contribution of R&D projects to sustainable innovation and are calculated based on prior-year innovation budgets. As part of this assessment we applied the assumptions that the prior-year percentages are still applicable for this reporting year and that all innovation in LED andLED-related products and services are considered as sustainable.

Environmental data

All environmental data from manufacturing operations, except process chemicals, are reported on a quarterly basis in our sustainability reporting and validation tool, according to company guidelines that include definitions, procedures and calculation methods. Process chemicals are reported on ahalf-yearly basis.

Internal validation processes have been implemented and peer audits performed to ensure consistent data quality and to assess the robustness of data reporting systems.

These environmental data from manufacturing are tracked and reported to measure progress against our Sustainable Operations targets.

Reporting on ISO 14001 certification is based on manufacturing units reporting in the sustainability reporting system.

The indirect emissions of reimbursement(s) during 2013sites not yet reporting are calculated in the same manner as described in Scope 1.

The location-based method of scope 2 reporting reflects the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs (using mostlygrid-average emission factor data). For this method our emission factors derive from the International Energy Agency (IEA) 2015 and are based on grid averages.

The market-based method of scope 2 reporting allows use of an emission factor that is specific to the energy purchased. Emissions intensity of consumed energy can differ based on contractual instruments used. For example,so-called ‘green electricity contracts’ guarantee the purchaser will be supplied with electricity coming from renewable sources which typically lower emissions per energy unit generated. In the market-based method Philips will account for renewable electricity with an emission factor of 0 grams CO2 per kWh. 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. All certificates were obtained through procurement ofGreen-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in the United States and European Guarantees of Origin from the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) of the European Energy Certificate System (EECS).

It is therefore assumed that would haveshipments across over less than 600 km are transported by road and the rest by air (those emissions by air are calculated in the same global warming potential (GWP), when measured overway as air freight). For sea transport, only data on transported volume were available so an estimate had to be made about the average weight of a specified timescale (generally 100 years).

Total purchased goods and services as included in cost of sales amounted to EUR 13.9 billion, representing 57% of total revenues of the Philips Group. Of this amount, approximately 69% was spent with global suppliers, the remainder with local suppliers.

In 2016, salaries and wages totaled EUR 5.8 billion. This amount is some EUR 300 million higher than in 2015, mainly caused by the increased number of employees and currency effects. Seenote 6, Income from operations for more information.

Philips’ shareholders were given EUR 732 million in the form of a dividend, the cash portion of which amounted to EUR 330 million.

Income taxes amounted to EUR 327 million, compared to EUR 239 million in 2015. The effective income tax rate was lower than the weighted average statutory income tax rate in 2016, mainly due to recognition of deferred tax assets andnon-taxable income, largely attributable to favorable tax regulations relating to R&D investments. These effects were partly offset by non-deductible expenses.

For a further understanding, seenote 8, Income taxes.

Philips supports global initiatives of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and UN (United Nations) to promote tax transparency and responsible tax management, taking into account the interest of various stakeholders, such as governments, shareholders, customers and the communities in which Philips operates.

In 2016, Philips University launched a program for leaders to help them get the most out of our people, help them grow, and have meaningful career conversations. In 2017 we will drive further initiatives focused on:

Strengthening theemployee-and-manager career partnership with clear accountabilities

Equipping managers as effective career coaches who will have transparent career dialogues with their team, with differentiated development for deep specialists and broad leaders

10% Learning through formal learning

In 2016, more than 1,900 new courses were made available by Philips University. Byyear-end, over 86,000 employees had enrolled for courses with Philips University. In total, some 1.2 million hours were spent on training through Philips University in 2016, with some 580,000 training completions.

12.3.3 Employee volunteering

In North America, thePhilips Cares program provides ways for employees to work together to improve people’s lives by creating healthy, sustainable communities. This can take many forms: from helping a child to excel in math, or providing safety and energy-efficient home improvements for the disadvantaged, to raising awareness about the importance of cardiac health. In 2016 alone, more than 9,500 employee volunteers participated in community outreach projects that suited their needs, schedules, and passions individually as well as through partnerships with organizations such as the American Heart Association, International Medical Equipment Collaborative (IMEC), and the March of Dimes.

Since Q4 2016, all of our employees are now able to take 1 day per year to support charitable endeavors through volunteering. For example, in the Benelux 70 of our people were trained in resuscitation (CPR) by the Dutch Hartstichting (heart foundation), enabling them to provide support in the critical first period of a cardiac arrest.

12.3.4 Health and Safety performance

In 2016, we recorded 174 LWIC, i.e. occupational injury cases where the injured person is unable to work one or more days after the injury. This represents a significant decrease compared with 213 in 2015. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.18 per 100 FTEs, compared with 0.21 in 2015. The number of Lost Workdays caused by injuries decreased by 1,253 days (16%) to 6,728 days in 2016.

Additionally, in 2016, we recorded 395 TRC’s, i.e. cases where the injured employee is unable to work one or more days, or had medical treatment or sustained an industrial illness.

In 2016, we focused our efforts not only on traditional process and equipment safety improvements, but also on a proactive cultural transformation through Behavior Based Safety (BBS). BBS requires a fundamental shift in how we think and act about Health and Safety before an injury occurs. Our new company program, based on an internal best practice, was deployed and implemented globally across many factories in 2016 including those in China, Asia Pacific and the USA. We believe this program will continue to drive down our workplace injuries and be a key pillar towards reaching our goal of a 25% reduction in total injuries by 2020.

In the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses segment Health and Safety showed a decrease in performance in 2016 with 40 LWIC compared to 21 in 2015. The LWIC rate increased to 0.36 compared to 0.20 in 2015. The total number of recordable cases for the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses segment was 73 in 2016.

Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

Health and Safety performance in the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment continued to improve in 2016 with 5 LWIC in 2016 compared to 6 in 2015. Correspondingly, the LWIC rate decreased to 0.15 in 2016 compared to 0.16 in 2015. This was primarily driven by our global patient monitoring businesses. The total number of recordable cases for the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment was 23 in 2016.

Personal Health businesses

The Personal Health businesses segment showed stable performance in Health and Safety with 21 LWIC in 2016, the same number as in 2015. The LWIC rate improved from 0.16 in 2015 to 0.15 in 2016. The Personal Health businesses segment had 46 recordable cases in 2016.

Lighting

Lighting showed an overall improvement while recording 71 LWIC compared to 119 in 2015. As a result the LWIC rate improved to 0.22 (0.34 in 2015). In 2016, Lighting had 156 reportable cases. Lighting introduced a new safety program in 2015 focusing on preventing injuries.

12.3.5 General Business Principles

A total of 503 concerns were reported over the course of 2016 via the Philips Ethics Line and through our network of GBP Compliance Officers, of which 164 related to Philips Lighting. The previous reporting period (2015) saw a total of 447 concerns, 135 of which related to Philips Lighting. Overall, we saw an increase of 13% in the total number of reports (11% for Royal Philips versus 21% for Philips Lighting).

This is a productcontinuation of the upward trend reported since 2014, the year in which Philips updated its General Business Principles and deployed the related communication campaign, although the overall increase in the number of complaints reported has slightly declinedyear-on-year (2015: 14%). We believe this trend is in line with our multi-year efforts to encourage our employees to speak up, and we are now approaching a normalized level of reported concerns annually. The relatively larger increase in the number of concerns that uses, generates, transfers orrelate to Philips Lighting is expected to relate, at least in part, to the separation event and the related corporate activities.

The upward trend in the number of concerns can primarily be attributed to significantly more concerns being reported in the North American (NA) region, making up 38% of the total number of reports in 2016 (2015: 31%). The number of concerns reported in Latin America once again declinedyear-on-year to 19% of the total number of complaints, compared with 25% in 2015. In percentage terms, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) remained quite stable, representing 20% and 23% of the total number of complaints respectively (2015: 21% and 20%).

In keeping with a trend that became visible in 2015, we again saw a more even distribution in reporting across the four regions. While the Americas were historically dominant in terms of number of cases reported, EMEA and APAC have now reached the same level as Latin America. We believe this to be as a result of significant communication efforts in addition to our Global GBP Communications campaign, especially in the APAC region, improving employees’ awareness of their rights with regard to the GBP, and the reporting facilities available to them.

Most common types of concerns reported

Treatment of employees

As in previous years, the most commonly reported type of concern related to the category Treatment of employees. In 2016 there were 276 reports in this category, compared to 242 in 2015. This represents 55% of the total number of concerns, which is a slight increase from 2015 (54%).

Two subcategories, Respectful treatment and Equal and fair treatment, make up just over 65% of the concerns related to Treatment of employees. The Respectful treatment category generally relates to concerns about verbal abuse, (sexual) harassment, and hostile work environments. Equal and fair treatment primarily addresses favoritism, and matters of discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace. 79% of the cases in these categories originated from the Americas, which is slightly more than in 2015 (76%).

Business integrity

The second most reported type of concern relates to Business Integrity, which made up 29% of the total cases reported. This is slightly less than in 2015, when the percentage was 31%. These concerns originated from the APAC region (45%), followed by EMEA (33%), Latin America (14%) and North America (8%).

Substantiated/unsubstantiated concerns

Of the 503 cases reported in 2016, 137 are still pending closure, in particular those that were filed towards the end of the year. The table below gives an overview of the number of reported concerns that were substantiated (i.e. found to constitute a breach of our General Business Principles) by the subsequent investigation.

Of the 366 reports investigated (267 in 2015), 115 were substantiated, which represents 31% of the total reported and closed (34% in 2015). This is also shown in the table below. Notably, while in 2015 39% of the Treatment of employee cases were substantiated, this percentage dropped to 28% in 2016 (2014: 22%, 2013: 20%). On the other hand, 40% of the Business Integrity reports were closed as substantiated in 2016, compared with 21% in 2015 (2014: 36%, 2013: 50%).

In addition to the above, 174 concerns that were still open at the end of 2015 were closed during 2016. 37% of these concerns were substantiated after investigation.

Of the 179 closed concerns that were substantiated, 100 were followed up with disciplinary measures energy (electricity, gas, fossil fuel). Examples are boilers, computers, televisions, transformers, industrial fans, industrial furnaces etc.varying from termination of employment and written warnings to training and coaching. In other cases, corrective action was taken, which varied from strengthening the business processes to increasing awareness of the expected standard of business conduct.

development and social entrepreneurship, as well as in our approach towards disaster relief. Royal Philips and Philips Lighting supported the program of the Philips Foundation with a donation of EUR 10 million in 2016 and provided the operating staff, paymentin-kind and the expert support of skilled employees who support the Foundation’s program for part of their time.

A highlight of the year was the launch of a partnership with Ashoka, one of the world’s largest networks of social entrepreneurs, that identifies and invests in social entrepreneurs helping them to bring their ideas for solving social problems to scale. Through a six month ‘globalizer’ program, 12 social entrepreneurs were supported by advisory teams – involving 24 Philips volunteers to build their impact scaling plan. This culminated in athree-day summit where the social entrepreneurs were able to pitch their impact plans to a large group of senior experts, such as social investors, public sector representatives and Philips executives.

We additionally worked on strengthening our partnerships with the Red Cross and UNICEF. The partnership with the Red Cross focuses on exploring innovations that could assist in providing immediate relief to people in regions affected by humanitarian crises including natural disasters. We are working with the Netherlands Red Cross and the Ivory Coast Red Cross on a project in Ivory Coast to strengthen the resilience of a community in the Blolequin region with a focus on the health of mothers and children. The Philips Foundation and UNICEF have partnered to develop healthcare innovations for the first 1,000 days of children’s lives. We are supporting UNICEF’s Global Innovation Center and are a lead partner in the Kenya Maker for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Project in Nairobi, which focuses on developing and deploying solutions that improve access to healthcare for mothers and their children inlow-resource settings.

In addition, 36 local projects have been approved to be set up throughout the world. These projects are organized via the local Philips organization and NGO partner and funded by the Philips Foundation. These projects offer employee engagement opportunities including skilled expert volunteering. Employee donations were also a large part of the Philips Foundation’s response to the earthquakes in Ecuador, Japan and Italy as well as Hurricane Matthew in the USA. Along with ourco-creation projects we were able to respond to disasters around the world via our partnership with the Red Cross and global fundraisers, through which we raised a total of more than EUR 80,000 – a combination of employee donations and foundation matching.

More information about the Philips Foundation, its purpose and scope as well as the Philips Foundation Annual Report 2015 can be foundhere.

Examples of innovation projects supported by the Philips Foundation

The Philips Foundation, CurArte Foundation and Hospital Vall d’Hebrón teamed up to create‘Imatgina’, an advanced patient-centric initiative in pediatric radiology that aims to improve the experience children have during diagnostic imaging tests. The goal of the initiative is to enhance the experience for children by creating a friendly atmosphere that dispels the uncertainty and fear usually associated with these types of procedures. It is estimated that the project will improve the lives of over 7,000 children on an annual basis.

Every day in rural Uganda, 555 birth complications occur, which lead to the death of over 6,000 Ugandan women a year. Although ultrasound has proven to be instrumental in the early identification of these complications, its high cost and the lack of trained personnel mean that it is not widely available in rural areas. The Philips Foundation and Philips teamed up with Imaging the World (ITW) to identify and implement sustainable business models in the healthcare ecosystem of rural Uganda. Establishing sustainable and increased sources of funding will allow ITW to create new health clinics and impact the lives of an additional 35,000 Ugandan women and babies a year.

12.3.7 Stakeholder Engagement

Our engagements with various partners and stakeholders is essential to our vision of making the world healthier and sustainable through innovation. Some of our partnership engagements are described below.

Global partnerships

World Economic Forum

Philips is proud to continue as a strategic partner and active member of the World Economic Forum (WEF), an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. We supported and participated in a wide range of initiatives and projects through the year – regional WEF events, as well as the participation in International Business Council of the World Economic Forum.

Further to our various engagements with WEF, Frans van Houten has been selected to serve as a Stewardship Board Member of a key WEF initiative on shaping the “Future of Health and Healthcare”. The initiative will focus on managing the risk and impact of future epidemics addressing the shortfall in the world’s ability to respond to public health emergencies by developing a multifaceted cross-industry, cross-sectorial approach.

Sustainability statements 12.3.7

Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization

Philips and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (Gavi), are partnering to improve the quality of immunization data and its collection in primary and community healthcare. The partnership will be piloting the project in Uganda. The goal of the partnership is to gather accurate data which both organizations believe is essential to improve patient outcomes, provide access to care and reduce costs. Good data is key to strengthening health systems around the world.

World Heart Federation

Philips announced a new partnership with the World Heart Federation (WHF) in 2016 to help people better manage their heart health. Aligned with the WHF’s ‘power your life’ campaign, Philips aims to encourage people to take personal responsibility for leading heart-healthy lives and to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease.

Thought leadership

Future Health Index

Philips launched a new report, the Future Health Index (FHI) in 2016, an extensive global study which explores how 13 countries around the world are positioned to meet long-term global health challenges through integration and connected care technologies. The Future Health Index measures readiness to address these challenges by examining perceptions about the accessibility and level of integration of healthcare services, and the adoption of connected care technology throughout national healthcare systems.

Digital transformation of health and care

Philips is a champion of the EU Blueprint on digital transformation of health and care for the ageing society. Philips will continue its engagement in the Blueprint through deploying digital innovation across the EU. We believe that this will contribute to development of value-based care models for the benefit of citizens/patients and sustainability of health systems.

Working on global issues

Sustainable Development Goals

Philips aspires to be a major private sector contributor to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were launched during the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2015. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (“’to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) and 12 (“to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”) are drivers and outcomes of sustainable development and Philips is committed to working closely with all relevant stakeholders to develop solutions to address these.

Strengthening primary care and enabling community development

Working in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Royal Philips plans to inaugurate a Community Life Center (CLC) in Mandera, a County in North-Eastern Kenya with one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates - 3,795 per 100,000 live births. The project supported by the County Government of Mandera is the net cash flow from operating activities minus net capital expenditures.second of its kind in the world; Philips inaugurated the first CLC in Kiambu County, Kenya in 2014. The CLC will deliver crucial primary healthcare and enhance community development in Mandera.

Full-time equivalent employee (FTE)

Full-time equivalentAccess to primary healthcare in Africa is a waycomplex and complicated issue, therefore a sustainable solution needs to measureaddress a worker’swide range of issues collectively. Issues range from unavailability of qualified healthcare workers to the lack of electricity, water and basic healthcare technology. The creation of the CLC concept enabled Philips to realize its vision to drastically improve primary healthcare in Africa.

Grand Challenges Canada on childhood pneumonia

Philips and Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) are collaborating on an innovative project to aid and improve the diagnosis of childhood pneumonia in low resource settings.

Royal Philips received a repayable grant to scale the manufacturing and distribution of the Philips Children’s Automated Respiration Monitor (also known as ChARM) to make it affordable and accessible for community-based health workers inlow-resource settings throughout the world. ChARM has the potential to assist community health workers in establishing a more accurate measurement of a sick child’s breathing rate to help improve the diagnosis of pneumonia and potentially prevent some of the 922,000 childhood deaths caused by pneumonia each year.

Global Financing Facility

In 2016 Philips committed to supporting the Global Financing Facility (GFF) through our expertise in innovation and our core competencies in growing primary-care capacity. The GFF brings together a broad range of partners to promote the sustainable solutions needed to achieve universal coverage of health care. By creating the right financial and technical conditions for innovation, as a common objective we believe our involvement will achieve greater impact and better health outcomes through collaboration.

12.3.8 Supplier indicators

Philips has a direct business relationship with approximately 8,500 product and component suppliers and 22,000 service providers, and in many cases the sustainability issues deeper in our supply chain require us to intervene beyond tier 1 of the chain.

1. Supplier Sustainability Compliance

Two core policy documents form the basis of supplier sustainability compliance: the Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD) and the Regulated Substances List (RSL).

Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD)

The SSD sets out the standards and behaviors Philips requires from its suppliers. The SSD is based on the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct and covers the topics Health & Safety, Labor, Environment, Ethics and Management systems.

Regulated Substances List (RSL)

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

Following the SSD and RSL, Philips further specifies contractual and transparency requirements. Suppliers are obliged to contractually commit to the SSD and RSL andupon request provide additional information and evidence.

2. Supplier Sustainability Performance (SSP)

Since 2006, our supplier sustainability audits have been executed by third party auditors.

Due to insights gained through a thorough analysis of the audit program and the data it generated in the past 10 years our main conclusions were:

The audit process consists of a third party audit to verify the SSD compliance, it focuses on closing the identified “Non Conformities” and repeats every 3 years. The frequency of checks is not sufficient and the system does not lead to long lasting improvements of the sustainability performance or compliance rate of our suppliers.

Training and capacity-building programs are focused on general sharing of information and not necessarily on driving change or improvements. They do not always meet individual supplier needs.

To secure business continuity, suppliers try to pass the audit with the least possible effort rather than making lasting improvements.

Years of an audit culture which did not focus on long-lasting improvements has led to audit fatigue due to too many audits demanded by other customers.

Based on the above conclusions, Philips identified a need for change and developed a new “beyond audit” approach which:

Understands that suppliers may have initial deviations from the SSD and RSL.

Accepts that suppliers each have their own organizational – and sustainability maturity level and need an individual improvement plan.

Annual Report 2016      223


Sustainability statements 12.3.8

Is continuousand creates a cultural change leading toward long-term improvements.

Ultimately leads toone-cross-industry standard for supplier sites and will therefore remove the audit burden.

The new SSP approach has been piloted in 2016 on a sample of 93 suppliers in China with the following results:

90% of the suppliers completed a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), 57% of which were validated by Philips sustainability experts.

Followed by a site assessment at 20 supplier sites.

Through joint efforts an improvement Plan (IP) was developed and agreed upon with these 20 suppliers.

These 20 suppliers started executing the Improvement Plan, while Philips provides support and monitors progress on a regular basis.

The following observations were made after analyzing the first phase of the pilot:

Higher level of commitment and ownership from suppliers (also at top management level).

Change in mindset towards continuous improvement and transparency.

Suppliers are disclosing more areas for improvement than it would be possible to identify through an audit only.

Suppliers are moving away from quick fixes and towards lasting improvements.

Three key focus areas of SSP

We are primarily focusing on 3 areas: Health and Safety, remuneration and benefits, and workforce turnover.

Process Chemicals

Philips is an active member of the EICC project team on process chemicals, for further details on the strategy and approach of this project see theEICC position paper. In addition to this project team we have addressed the topic of process chemicals in the new SSP approach and we aim to identify if and how the manufacturing sites are managing process chemicals.

Summary of 2016 Sustainability Audit Program

In 2016, we audited 226 of our current risk suppliers, including 150 continued conformance audits with suppliers that we had already audited in 2013. As in previous years, the majority of the audits were done in China. With these audits we directly or indirectly impacted almost 180,000 workers employed at the production sites that were audited.

LOGO

On top of the audits with current risk suppliers, we also audited 28 potential suppliers during the supplier selection process. These potential suppliers need to close anyzero-tolerance issues before they can start delivering to Philips.

To track improvements Philips measures the ‘compliance rate’ for the identified risk suppliers, being the percentage of risk suppliers audited within the last 3 years who do not have or have resolved all major NCs. During 2016 we achieved a compliance rate of 90% (2015: 86%).

Audit findings

The table below shows the results of the full scope audits done during 2016; potential suppliers are not included. Most frequent areas ofnon-compliance in 2016:

3. Responsible Sourcing of Minerals

The supply chains of minerals are long and complex. There are typically 7+ tiers between theend-user companies like Philips and the mines where the minerals are being extracted.

Philips does not directly source minerals from mines in in the conflict-affected and high-risk regions, and the supply chain for these metals consists of many tiers, including traders, exporters, smelters, refiners, alloy producers and component manufacturers, before reaching Philips’ direct suppliers.

Mining in these regions often takes place in an artisanal form which often means it is informal and unregulated. Artisanal miners can become victims to exploitation by various militia and armed groups. This increases the risk of human rights violations (forced labor, child labor or widespread sexual violence), unsafe working conditions or environmental concerns.

Philips addresses the complexities of the minerals supply chains through a continuous due diligence process combined with multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals.

Conflict minerals due diligence

Philips annually investigates its supply chain to identify smelters of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold in its supply chain and we have committed not to purchase raw materials, subassemblies, or supplies which are found to contain conflict minerals.

Philips applies collective cross-industry leverage through active engagement via Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). The Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) identifies smelters that can demonstrate through an independent third-party audit that the minerals they procure are conflict free. Philips is actively directing its supply chain towards these smelters. Seewww.conflictfreesmelter.org for more details.

The Philips Conflict Minerals due diligence framework, measures and outcomes are described in the Conflict Minerals Report that we file annually with SEC. The Report is audited by an independent third party and made publicly available on Philips’website.

Multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals

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

Indonesia produces roughlyone-third of the world’s tin supply, of which the vast majority comes from the islands Bangka and Belitung.

In 2015, a Roadmap to sustainable tin mining was created in collaboration with the local industry and government, defining improvement areas for onshore land reclamation and offshorelow-impact mining.

In 2016, the first implementation pilot projects of the Roadmap were kicked off, governed by the local steering committee.

Dutch Covenant on Gold

Leaders of different industries using gold in The Netherlands together with the Dutch government and NGOs look for ways to make gold supply chains more responsible. Through 2016, the group has engaged in knowledge sharing to understand all specifics of the gold supply chain and to identify the right approach for the parties to address the most severe issues.

Mica Working Group

Mica is mainly used as a pearlescent pigment in coatings and cosmetics, and in the electronics sector it is used as an electrical insulator.

In 2016, Terre des Hommes in collaboration with SOMO published a report“Beauty and a Beast” which showed the widespread problem in the mica industry in Jharkhand/Bihar (India) and gaps in the due diligence of end user companies.

Philips decided to team up with Terre des Hommes in order to bring other mica users from all industries together to start a Mica Working Group with Terre des Hommes, Philips, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a group of 15 companies.

“Terre des Hommes Netherlands is pleased to partner with Philips in order to set up the Mica Working Group. Our report “Beauty and a Beast, child labor in India for sparkling cars and cosmetics” shows the challenges of mica mining and the need for immediate interventions. Philips became aware of the issue and immediately demonstrated its leadership in CSR by taking the initiative to bring partners from various industries together. Philips’ engagement in other responsible sourcing initiatives definitely supported the Mica Working Group to move forward. We are confident that this multi-stakeholder initiative will lead to a transparent, traceable and child labor free mica supply chain”

4. Circular Procurement

Philips’ ambition is to increase its circular value proposition and it has set a 2020 target of 15% circular revenues. Procurement can play a leading role in Philips’ transition towards a circular economy in order to achieve the 2020 target or even exceed this.

Topics where Procurement is actively involved are:

Circular procurement in the procurement policy. The next step is to define a circular procurement strategy and a clear long-term ambition.

The implementation of a governance structure beyond the procurement organization to cover the whole value chain is part of the internal Circular Economy Excellence network.

Execution of an analysis of internal and external circular service models to improve collaboration.

“In 2016 Philips and HP have further strengthened their business relationship by specifying and delivering an ITpay-per-device model which will cover more than 100,000 IT assets across 50 countries. Thisdevice-as-a-service solution supports both companies’ efforts towards a shared circular economy. Philips stands out in truly understanding the importance of managing its IT requirements in order to realise both maximum value and minimize environmental impact from IT products. HP is proud to be Philips’ partner of choice for IT asset management and will continue to collaborate on shared circular economy objectives.”

HP Case Study

Philips has used HP Asset Recovery Services since 2011 to comprehensively manage end of life IT assets worldwide, with data wiping, remarketing and recycling to mitigate security and privacy risk and ensure compliance. Over that time HP Asset Recovery Services have managed 80,000 assets across 24 countries, remarketing 90% of them.

5. Environmental Footprint China

In order to minimize our impact, we are supporting our Chinese suppliers to reduce their environmental footprint and at the same time to contribute to Philips’ sustainability strategy.

Achievements in 2016

Environmental footprint training for 120 suppliers by Philips Supplier Sustainability team.

Philips actively participated in the Sino-Dutch Sustainable Supply Chain Management Program held by the Dutch Consulate in Zhejiang and Jiangsu province.

Customer engagement (Starbucks) the supplier has established a new waste water treatment facility to ensure waste water discharging in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Environmental footprint data reported for improving performance by 20 suppliers as part of the SSP on-site development.

Energy savings via Supplier Development program - energy savings will be achieved upon implementation of the identified improvement actions.

Collaboration with IPE, a Chinese NGO

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) is a registerednon-profit organization based in Beijing. IPE has developed two pollution databases (water and air) to monitor corporate environmental performance and to facilitate public participation in environmental governance. For more information please refer to IPE website.

SA is a Philips supplier located in Shenzhen . In April 2016, environmental issues were identified in the waste water discharge system of this supplier. This was reported via the IPE Pollution Map.

Philips experts immediately contacted the supplier account manager, an IPE expert and the supplier to identify the root-cause and work out an improvement plan. With multi-stakeholder engagement, SA had the IPE Green Choice Alliance audit and closed the issue with 50 environmental protection NGOs as witnesses.

12.4 Environmental statements

This section provides additional information on (some of) the environmental performance parameters reported insection 2.3, Environmental performance, of this report.

12.4.1 Circular Economy

The transition from a linear to a circular economy is essential to create a sustainable world. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using these resources more effectively.

The circular economy program

The circular economy program at Philips ran for the fourth year in 2016 and consists of four strategic pillars:

1.Connect to stakeholders outside Philips

2.Internal employee engagement

3.Create proof points and metrics

4.Embed circular economy in Philips processes

Philips leverages partnerships with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Circle Economy Netherlands, World Economic Forum, US Chamber of Commerce Foundation and The Guardian. For example, through the leadership of our CEO and supported by the circular economy program, Philips teamed up with the World Economic Forum to establish a public-private platform to accelerate the circular economy, launched in Davos in January 2017.

In many Philips Business Groups circular economy projects have started. These are either linked to customer access over ownership (pay for performance), business model innovations (from transactions to

Annual Report 2016      227


Sustainability statements 12.4.1

relationships via service and solution models) or reverse cycles (remanufacturing, refurbishment and parts harvesting).

Circular Revenues

In 2016, at Royal Philips, a new internal KPI was developed and deployed: Circular Revenues. The Circular Revenues percentage captures our revenues of validated circular products, services, and solutions, as a % of total Philips revenues. The validation is done against the following Philips circularity requirements which might be further refined in the future:

1. Performance and Access-based models

Revenues from contracts that include the condition that Philips has individualend-of-life responsibility for the product

2. Refurbished, Reconditioned & Remanufactured products/systems

Revenues from selling refurbished, reconditioned or remanufactured products/systems withre-used components >30% by total weight of product/ system

3. Refurbished, Reconditioned & Remanufactured components

Revenue from harvested components that have either been refurbished, reconditioned or remanufactured. The harvested component must contain >30%re-used parts or materials by total component weight. The component can either be a standalone component or part of a new product/system. The commercial value of the components is considered irrespective of whether it is part of a service, warranty or a sale.

4. Upgrades/refurbishment on site or remote

Revenue from upgrades of existing hardware and software either on site or remotely

5. Products with recycled plastics content

Revenues from products with a recycled plastics content of >25% by total weight of eligible plastics

We set the ambition that by 2020 a total of 15% of our revenues will come from circular propositions. This is double the rate of 7% baseline achieved in 2015. The result for 2016 is 9%. The main contributing revenue streams are for:

Personal Health businesses

Revenues from our B2C products that contain a large amount of recycled plastics, such as our businesses in coffee and domestic appliances

Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Our Diamond Select offer of refurbished imaging systems for sale, upgrading of systems at customer premises to enhance performance and extend lifetime, repair and reuse of spare parts

Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

A number of Philips businesses based on subscription models, such as for example the Philips Lifeline business and others

Closing material loops

In addition to tracking circular revenue, we are also further working to gain transparency over the material flows connected with the Philips businesses. In 2016 Philips put a total of some 242,000 tonnes of products on the market. This assessment is based on sales data combined with product-specific weights. 85% of the total product weight was delivered through our B2C businesses in Personal Health and 15% through our B2B businesses (Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses).

We can account for some 19,000 tonnes or approximately 10% of those products being collected,re-used or recycled globally in 2015. Europe has advanced collection systems in place. In these countries we have an average return rate of around40-50%. National legislation is required to create the level playing field needed to set up efficient recycling systems beyond the EU. The main pathways and quantities for materialre-use in 2015 were:

Trade-in and return for resale as refurbished products and for spare parts harvesting (Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics) some 2,400 tonnes, largely unchanged from 2014.

Collective collection and recycling schemes according to the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) collection schemes. Those products are broken down into the main material fractions and provided to the market via our recycling partners

800 tonnes from Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics field returns, following the WEEE category 8 classification, indicating a slight decrease compared to the previous year (900 tonnes)

16,000 tonnes from Personal Health, following the WEEE category 2 classification

On the demand side, the Personal Health businesses havere-integrated significantly more recycled plastics in new products than last year, closing the material loop for some 1,440 tonnes of plastics, up from 900 tonnes in 2015.

More information can be found on thecircular economy website.

At Philips Lighting, circular economy activities are covered as part of their Green Revenues.

12.4.2 Biodiversity

Philips recognizes the importance of healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity for our company, our employees, and society as a whole. We aim to minimize any negative impacts and actively promote ecosystem restoration activities.

The Philips Biodiversity policy was issued in 2014 and progress was made on biodiversity management, both on sites (e.g. impact measurement), on natural capital valuation and at management level. Most initiatives were led by the environmental coordinators at our sites, for example at our Best and Drachten sites in The Netherlands, which serve as role models on the topic of biodiversity.

Philips participated in 2015 in the development of the Natural Capital Protocol and volunteered as a pilot company. These activities continued in 2016. The environmental impact of the Royal Philips sites is limited as they are not very energy-intensive and do not emit large quantities of high-impact substances. The impact of our supply chain however is significantly higher than our own impact. For this reason, we used the identifiedhot-spots in our supply chain as input for our CDP Supply Chain program. More information on that program can be found insub-section 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of this report.

12.4.3 Sustainable Operations

The Royal Philips HealthTech businesses and Philips Lighting Sustainable Operations programs related to improving the environmental performance of our manufacturing facilities focus on most contributors to climate change, but also address water, recycling of waste and chemical substances.

Energy use in manufacturing

Total energy usage in manufacturing amounted to 8,987 terajoules in 2016, a decrease of 7% compared to 2015. Philips Lighting consumed about 66% of the total and realized a 13%year-on-year reduction, which was mainly driven by a reduction of energy-intensive operations and energy efficiency improvements in the factories. The Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses realized a decrease in energy consumption of 5% due to operational changes. Energy consumption in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses increased by 8%, which was mainly due to the inclusion of two newly acquired sites. In the Personal Health businesses, site expansions and changed demand caused an increase in energy consumption, which was partly offset by energy efficiency improvements. The energy of discontinued operations amounted to 2,231 terajoules in 2016 (2015: 2,179 terajoules).

Operational carbon footprint and energy efficiency - 2016 details

Becoming carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020 is one of the key targets, after already reducing our operational carbon footprint very significantly during the past years (40% decrease in CO2 emissions in 2015 compared to our 2007 base year). Our carbon footprint decreased by 5% compared to 2015, resulting in a project. An FTEtotal of 1.0 means that1,344 kilotonnes CO2.

The 2016 results can be attributed to several factors:

Accounting for 24% of the total footprint, total CO2 emissions from manufacturing decreased by 17% due to operational changes resulting in decreased energy usage and a lower load (mainly in Philips Lighting); additionally the share coming from renewable sources increased.

CO2 emissions fromnon-industrial operations (offices, warehouses, etc.), representing 8% of the total emissions, increased this year due to increased overall floor space in ournon-industrial real estate portfolio. This resulted in a 3% carbon emission increase compared to 2015. In 2017, we will continue to focus on the most efficient use of facility space and increase the share of purchased electricity from renewable sources.

The total CO2 emissions related to business travel, accounting for 14% of our carbon footprint, showed a decrease of 4% compared to 2015. The reductions achieved with business flights and our lease cars was partially mitigated by an increase in our rental car emissions.

Overall CO2 emissions from logistics, representing 53% of the total, showed no overall change compared to 2015. We recorded an increase in emissions from air and road freight in Royal Philips, which was mitigated by a decrease in Philips Lighting.

Annual Report 2016      229


Sustainability statements 12.4.3

This increase in air freight combined with reduced emissions from parcel, road and ocean freight resulted in no overall change in our logistics emissions.

CO2 emissions decreased significantly at Philips Lighting due to reduced energy usage resulting from operational changes and energy efficiency improvements. Emissions at the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses decreased due to an increase in use of electricity generated by renewable sources, partially offset by two newly acquired sites. The Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment decreased its CO2 emissions due to lower energy consumption. At the Personal Health businesses, CO2 emissions increased due to a full-time worker, whiledecrease in the use of electricity generated by renewable sources. In December 2016, the Los Mirasoles windfarm in the US started to produce electricity. As a result, all our US operations will be powered by wind energy in 2017, a clear step towards our ambition to become carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020.

Hazardous substances emissions

In the ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program, new chemical reduction targets have been defined, on the most relevant categories of substances for Royal Philips, being hazardous substance emissions as well as VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. As part of the deployment of the new program, reduction targets at our industrial sites are being agreed. For more information on Philips Lighting’s emissions please refer to their Annual Report.

VOC emissions reduced significantly in 2016 (by 24%) to 129 tonnes. This decrease was mainly driven by a number of industrial sites in the Personal Health businesses segment, which changed their lacquering processes, as well as changes in the product mix. This was slightly offset by the inclusion of two newly acquired industrial sites in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses segment.

ISO 14001 certification

Most of the Royal Philips manufacturing sites are certified under the umbrella certificates for the Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care & Health Informatics and Personal Health businesses segments.

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Information. 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 apply the “Nadere voorschriften accountantskantoren ter zake van assurance opdrachten (RA/AA)” and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with the Dutch Standard 3810N, ethical requirements and independence requirements.

Our audit included amongst others:

Evaluating the appropriateness of the reporting policy, its consistent application, including the evaluation of the results of the stakeholders’ dialogue, the reasonableness of management’s estimates and the related disclosures made by management.

Performing an external environment analysis and obtaining insight into relevant social themes and issues and the characteristics of the organization.

Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the Sustainability Information, whether due to errors or fraud, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from errors, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Interviewing management and relevant staff responsible for the sustainability’s strategy, policy and achievements.

Interviewing relevant staff at corporate level responsible for providing the information in the Sustainability Information, carrying out internal control procedures on the data and consolidating the data in the Sustainability Information.

Evaluating the design and implementation and testing the operating effectiveness of the reporting systems and processes related to the Sustainability Information.

Evaluating the underlying transactions and events.

Visits to production sites to evaluate the source data and to evaluate the design and implementation of control, including validation procedures, at local level.

Testing relevant data and internal and external documentation, on a sample basis, to determine the reliability of the Sustainability Information.

An analytical review of the data and trends submitted for consolidation at corporate level.

Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Sustainability Information.

Dividend policy

Philips’ dividend policy is aimed at dividend stability and apay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of net income after adjustments.

Net income after adjustments is the base figure used to calculate the dividendpay-out for the year. For 2016, the key exclusions to arrive at net income after adjustments are the following: the results that are shown as Discontinued operations, income from a pension settlement, a charge related to the currency revaluation of the provision for the Masimo litigation, financial charges related to bond redemptions, and a release in financial income and expense related to the Masimo settlement. Restructuring, acquisition-related and separation related charges are also excluded.

Proposed distribution

A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 11, 2017, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.80 per common share (up to EUR 745 million), in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income for 2016.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be tradedex-dividend as of May 12, 2017 and May 15, 2017 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam, respectively. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the stock market of Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 16, 2017.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 17, 2017 and June 9, 2017. If no choice is made during this election period the dividend will be paid in cash. On June 9, 2017 after close of trading, the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average

Annual Report 2016      239


Investor Relations 14.1

price of all traded common shares of Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on June 7, 8 and 9, 2017. The company will calculate the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share (the ratio), such that the gross dividend in shares will be approximately equal to the gross dividend in cash. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced on June 13, 2017. Payment of the dividend and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 14, 2017. The distribution of dividend in cash to holders of New York Registry shares will be made in USD at the USD/EUR rate as per WM/ Reuters FX Benchmark 2 PM CET fixing of June 12, 2017.

Further details will be given in the agenda for the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

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

In 2016, a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share was paid in cash or shares, at the option of the shareholder. For 55.0% of the shares, the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issue of 17,344,462 new common shares, leading to a 1.9% dilution. EUR 330 million was paid in cash. See alsosection 2.4, Proposed distribution to shareholders, of this report.

Share capital structure

During 2016, Philips’ issued share capital decreased by approximately 1 million common shares to approximately 930 million common shares. The main

reasons for this are the cancellation of 18,829,985 Philips shares acquired pursuant to the EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program (which was completed in October 2016) and the issuance of 17,344,462 shares related to the elective dividend. The number of common shares issued and outstanding increased from 917 million at December 31, 2015 to 922 million on December 31, 2016. On December 31, 2016, the shares held in treasury amounted to approximately 7 million, all of which are held by Philips to cover long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans.

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 does not only relate to gross long positions, but also to gross short positions. Required disclosures must be made to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) without delay. The AFM then notifies the Company of such disclosures and includes them in a register which is published on the AFM’s website. Furthermore, an obligation to disclose (net) short positions is set out in the EU Regulation on Short Selling.

The AFM register shows the following notification of substantial holdings and/or voting rights at or above the 3% threshold: BlackRock, Inc.: substantial holding of 5.03% and 6.19% of the voting rights (January 5, 2017).

The following shareholder portfolio information is based on information provided by several large custodians and a survey conducted in December 2016.

Share repurchase programs

Share repurchases for capital reduction purposes

On September 17, 2013, Royal Philips announced a EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program. This program started on October 21, 2013 and was completed by October 20, 2016. The shares repurchased under this program were held by Philips as treasury shares until they were cancelled. As of December 31, 2016 all treasury shares that were repurchased under this program were cancelled.

Share repurchases related toLong-Term Incentive (LTI) and employee stock purchase programs

To cover outstanding obligations resulting from past and present long-term incentive (LTI) programs, Philips repurchases Philips shares from time to time, on

Euronext Amsterdam or otherwise. The shares repurchased to such LTI positions will be held by Philips as treasury shares until these are distributed to participants. In order to repurchase shares for covering LTI programs, Philips may enter into discretionary management agreements with one or more banks within the limits of relevant laws and regulations (in particular the EU Market Abuse Regulation and Philips’ Articles of Association.

In 2016, Philips repurchased a total of 8.6 million shares for LTI coverage. During 2017, Philips may continue with additional repurchases, the size of which will depend on the movement of the Philips share price.

Further details on the share repurchase programs can be found on the Investor Relations website. For more information seechapter 9, Corporate governance, of this report.

In 2016 Philips purchased call options on Philips’ shares matching the majority of the options granted to employees until 2013. As of December 31, 2016 Philips held 14.1 million call options as a hedge of 15.9 million remaining options granted to employees.

A total of 7,208,301 shares were held in treasury by the Company at December 31, 2016 (2015: 14,026,801 shares). As of that date, a total of 33.5 million rights under long-term incentive plans were outstanding (2015: 39.1 million).

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

A holder of common shares is an individual who receives income or derives capital gains from common shares and this income received or capital gains derived are attributable to past, present or future employment activities of such holder, the income of which is taxable in the Netherlands.

Dividend withholding tax

In general, a distribution to shareholders by a company resident in the Netherlands (such as the Company) is subject to a withholding tax imposed by the Netherlands at a rate of 15%. Share dividends paid out of the Company’spaid-in share premium recognized for Dutch tax purposes are not subject to the above-mentioned withholding tax. Share dividends paid out of the Company’s retained earnings are subject to dividend withholding tax on the nominal value of the shares issued. Pursuant to the provisions of the US Tax Treaty, a reduced rate may be applicable in respect of dividends paid by the Company to a beneficial owner holding directly 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, if such owner is a company resident in the United States (as defined in the US Tax Treaty) and entitled to the benefits of the US Tax Treaty.

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

Dividends paid to qualifying exempt US pension trusts and qualifying exempt US organizations are, under certain conditions, exempt from Dutch withholding tax under the US Tax Treaty. Qualifying exempt US pension trusts normally remain subject to withholding at the rate of 15% and are required to file for a refund of the tax withheld. Only if certain conditions are fulfilled, such pension trusts may be eligible for relief at source upon

Annual Report 2016      247


Investor Relations 14.7

payment of the dividend. However, for qualifying exempt US organizations no relief at source upon payment of the dividend is currently available; such exempt US organizations should apply for a refund of the 15% withholding tax withheld. Further, under certain circumstances, certain exempt organizations (e.g. pension funds) may be eligible for a refund of Dutch withholding tax upon their request pursuant to Dutch tax law. Under proposed Dutch tax law (not yet entered into force as per January 1, 2017), provided certain conditions are met, such (US) organizations may be eligible for relief at source upon request.

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

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

3% of the amount of qualifying dividends redistributed by the Company; and

3% of the gross amount of certain qualifying dividends received by the Company.

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

Income and capital gains

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

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

Estate and gift taxes

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

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

has Dutch nationality and has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the ten years preceding the time of their death or gift; or

does not have Dutch nationality but has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the twelve months preceding the time of the gift (for Netherlands gift taxes only).

United States Federal Taxation

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to a US holder (as defined below) of owning common shares. It applies only if the common shares are held as capital assets for

248      Annual Report 2016


Investor Relations 14.7

tax purposes. This section does not apply to a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

a dealer in securities,

a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,

atax-exempt organization,

a life insurance company,

a person liable for alternative minimum tax,

a person who actually or constructively owns 10% or more of our voting stock,

a person who holds common shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

a person who purchases or sells common shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or

a person whose functional currency is not the US dollar.

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

If a partnership holds the common shares, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the common shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the common shares.

A US holder is defined as a beneficial owner of common shares that is:

a citizen or resident of the United States,

a domestic corporation,

an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

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

This discussion addresses only United States federal income taxation.

Taxation of Dividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, the gross amount of any dividend paid in stock or cash out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) is subject to United States federal income taxation. For anon-corporate US holder, dividends paid that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that thenon-corporate US holder holds the common shares for more than 60 days during the121-day period beginning 60 days before theex-dividend date and provided it meets other holding period requirements. Dividends paid with respect to the common shares generally will be qualified dividend income1). A US holder must include any Dutch tax withheld from the mainstreamingdividend payment in this gross amount even though it does not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to a US holder when it receives the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of disclosuredividends received from other United States corporations. For dividend payments made in euro, the amount of the dividend distribution that a US holder must include in its income will be the US dollar value of the euro payments made, determined at the spot euro/ US dollar rate on environmental, socialthe date the dividend distribution can be included in its income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into US dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date a US holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date a US holder converts the payment into US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and governance performance.will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as anon-taxable return of capital to the extent of a US holder’s basis in the common shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, US holders should expect to generally treat distributions we make as dividends.

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

Annual Report 2016      249


Investor Relations 14.7

“passive” or “general” income for the purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the holder.

Taxation of Capital Gains

A US holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its common shares will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount that it realizes and its tax basis, determined in US dollars, in its common shares. Capital gain of a non-corporate US holder is generally taxed at preferential tax rates where the holder has a holding period greater than one year2). The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

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

1)In addition, a US holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the US holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the US holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (the “Medicare tax”). A US holder’s net investment income generally includes its dividend income.
2)In addition, the gain or loss is generally included in a US holder’s net investment income, which may be subject to a 3.8% tax as described in the discussion of the Medicare tax under the heading – “Taxation of Dividends”.

14.8 New York Registry Shares

Fees and Charges Payable by a Holder of New York Registry Shares

Citibank, N.A., as the US registrar, transfer agent, paying agent and shareholder servicing agent (“Agent”) under Philips’ New York Registry Share program (the “Program”), collects fees for delivery and surrender of New York Registry Shares directly from investors depositing ordinary shares or surrendering New York Registry Shares for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The Agent collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of the distributable property to pay the fees.

The charges of the Agent payable by investors are as follows:

The New York Transfer Agent charges shareholders a fee of up to USD 5.00 per 100 shares for the exchange of New York Registry shares for ordinary shares and vice versa.

Green Innovation

Green Innovation is a subset of Sustainable Innovation and is defined as all R&D activities directly contributing to the development of Green Products and Solutions or Green Technologies; it contributes to SDG 12. This means all products, systems or services that demonstrate a measurable positive impact on energy efficiency (10% or greater than previous products or legal requirements), and preferably also in one or more green focal areas: Circularity, Weight & Materials, Packaging, and Substances. Green Innovation for Lighting is calculated by multiplying the total R&D spend by percentages for sustainable innovation per Business Group (LED 100%, Professionals 95%, Home is 97% and Lamps 15%). These percentages are an assessment of the contribution of R&D projects to sustainable innovation and are calculated based on prior-year innovation budgets. As part of this assessment we applied the assumptions that the prior-year percentages are still applicable for this reporting year and that all innovation in LED andLED-related products and services are considered as sustainable.

Environmental data

All environmental data from manufacturing operations, except process chemicals, are reported on a quarterly basis in our sustainability reporting and validation tool, according to company guidelines that include definitions, procedures and calculation methods. Process chemicals are reported on ahalf-yearly basis.

Internal validation processes have been implemented and peer audits performed to ensure consistent data quality and to assess the robustness of data reporting systems.

These environmental data from manufacturing are tracked and reported to measure progress against our Sustainable Operations targets.

Reporting on ISO 14001 certification is based on manufacturing units reporting in the sustainability reporting system.

Operational carbon footprint

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 themarket-based method and the location-based method. The market-based method of reporting will serve as our reference for calculating our total operational carbon footprint.

Scope 1 – direct CO2 emissions – is reported on in full, with details of direct emissions from our industrial andnon-industrial sites. Emissions from industrial sites, which consist of direct emissions resulting from processes and fossil fuel combustion on site, are reported in the sustainability reporting system. Energy use and CO2 emissions fromnon-industrial sites are based on actual data where available. If this is not the case, they are estimated based on average energy usage per square meters, taking the geographical location and building type of the site into account.

Scope 2 – indirect CO2 emissions – is reported on in full, with details of indirect emissions from our industrial andnon-industrial sites. CO2 emissions resulting from purchased electricity, steam, heat and other indirect sources are reported in the sustainability reporting system. The indirect emissions of sites not yet reporting are calculated in the same manner as described in Scope 1.

The location-based method of scope 2 reporting reflects the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs (using mostlygrid-average emission factor data). For this method our emission factors derive from the International Energy Agency (IEA) 2015 and are based on grid averages.

The market-based method of scope 2 reporting allows use of an emission factor that is specific to the energy purchased. Emissions intensity of consumed energy can differ based on contractual instruments used. For example,so-called ‘green electricity contracts’ guarantee the purchaser will be supplied with electricity coming from renewable sources which typically lower emissions per energy unit generated. In the market-based method Philips will account for renewable electricity with an emission factor of 0 grams CO2 per kWh. 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. All certificates were obtained through procurement ofGreen-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in the United States and European Guarantees of Origin from the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) of the European Energy Certificate System (EECS).

Scope 3 – other CO2 emissions related to activities not owned or controlled by the Group – is reported on for our business travel and distribution activities.

The Philips operational carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2 and 3) is calculated on a quarterly basis and includes the emissions from our:

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

Logistics – air, ocean and road transport

All emission factors used to transform input data (for example, amount of tonne-kilometers transported) into CO2 emissions have been updated from the previously used DEFRA (UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) 2007 and bespoke emission factors to the applicable DEFRA 2015 emission factors for each year respectively. The total CO2 emission resulting from these calculations serve as input for scope 1, 2 and 3.

Commuting by our employees, upstream distribution (before suppliers ship to us), outsourced activities and emissions resulting from product use by our customers are not included in our operational carbon footprint. The calculations for business travel by lease car are based on actual fuel usage and for travel by rental car they are based on distance travelled. Taxis and chauffeur driven cars used for business travel are not included in the calculations. Emissions from business travel by airplane are calculated by the supplier based on mileage flown and emission factors from DEFRA, distinguishing between short, medium and long-haul flights. Furthermore, emissions from air freight for distribution are calculated based on the amount of tonne-kilometers transported between airports (distinguishing between short, medium and long-haul flights), including an estimate (based on actual data of the lanes with the largest volumes) for trucking from sites and distribution centers to airports and vice versa. Express shipments are generally a mix of road and air transport, depending on the distance.

It is therefore assumed that shipments across over less than 600 km are transported by road and the rest by air (those emissions by air are calculated in the same way as air freight). For sea transport, only data on transported volume were available so an estimate had to be made about the average weight of a container. Transportation to and from ports is not registered. This fore and aft part of sea transport was estimated to be around 3% of the total distance (based on actual data of the lanes with the largest volumes), consisting of a mix of modalities, and was added to the total emissions accordingly. CO2 emissions from road transport were also calculated based on tonne-kilometers. Return travel of vehicles is not included in the data for sea and road distribution.

Employee Engagement Index (EEI)

The Employee Engagement Index (EEI) is the single measure of the overall level of employee engagement at Philips. It is a combination of perceptions and attitudes related to employee satisfaction, commitment and advocacy.

The reported 2016 figure is based on My Accelerate Survey in Royal Philips HealthTech businesses. This survey is conducted by Expert Training Systems (ETS). The total score of the employee engagement is an average of quarterly results of the survey. The results are calculated by taking the average of the answered questions of the surveys.

12.1.9 Sustainability governance

Sustainability is strongly embedded in our core business processes, like innovation (EcoDesign), sourcing (Supplier Sustainability Program), manufacturing (Sustainable Operations) and Logistics (Green Logistics) and projects like the Circular Economy initiative.

In Royal Philips, the Sustainability Board is the highest governing sustainability body and is chaired by the Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer and member of the Executive Committee. Three other Executive Committee members sit on the Sustainability Board together with segment and functional executives. The Sustainability Board convenes four times per year, defines Philips’ sustainability strategy and programs, monitors progress and takes corrective action where needed.

Progress on Sustainability is communicated internally on a quarterly basis to Philips employees and at least annually in the Executive Committee and Supervisory Board. Please refer to the Philips Lighting Annual Report to learn about their sustainability governance.

12.1.10 External assurance

EY has provided reasonable assurance on whether the information inchapter 12, Sustainability statements, of this report andsection 2.2, Social performance, of this report andsection 2.3, Environmental performance, of this report presents fairly, in all material respects, the sustainability performance in accordance with the reporting criteria. Please refer tosection 12.5, Assurance report of the independent auditor, of this report.

12.2 Economic indicators

This section provides summarized information on contributions made on an accruals basis to the most important economic stakeholders as a basis to drive economic growth. For a full understanding of each of these indicators, see the specific financial statements and notes in this report.

Total purchased goods and services as included in cost of sales amounted to EUR 13.9 billion, representing 57% of total revenues of the Philips Group. Of this amount, approximately 69% was spent with global suppliers, the remainder with local suppliers.

In 2016, salaries and wages totaled EUR 5.8 billion. This amount is some EUR 300 million higher than in 2015, mainly caused by the increased number of employees and currency effects. Seenote 6, Income from operations for more information.

Philips’ shareholders were given EUR 732 million in the form of a dividend, the cash portion of which amounted to EUR 330 million.

Income taxes amounted to EUR 327 million, compared to EUR 239 million in 2015. The effective income tax rate was lower than the weighted average statutory income tax rate in 2016, mainly due to recognition of deferred tax assets andnon-taxable income, largely attributable to favorable tax regulations relating to R&D investments. These effects were partly offset by non-deductible expenses.

For a further understanding, seenote 8, Income taxes.

Philips supports global initiatives of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and UN (United Nations) to promote tax transparency and responsible tax management, taking into account the interest of various stakeholders, such as governments, shareholders, customers and the communities in which Philips operates. For more information, please refer toPhilips’ Tax Principles.

12.3 Social statements

In 2016, both Royal Philips HealthTech businesses and Philips Lighting launched their next5-year sustainability programs. This section provides additional information on (some of) the Social performance parameters reported insection 2.2, Social performance, of this report.

12.3.1 Building employability

Other programs

At Philips, our vision 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

Annual Report 2016      217


Sustainability statements 12.3.1

(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, nearly 13,000 people have participated, and around 70% found a regular job after taking part in the program. In 2016, Philips employed 140 people via the WGP program, including 25 people with autism. As we move into 2017, we will continue to offer an environment for all of our people to thrive and grow.

12.3.2 People development

Our talent development focuses on all aspects of the 70:20:10 learning framework.

70% Learning through critical career experiences

Philips is on a multi-year journey to evolve our culture to focus on experience-based career development, giving our people the opportunity to identify and gain the experiences necessary to support our health technology strategy and strengthen their employability. By identifying the roles and experiences critical to our business strategy, we clarify development areas and transferrable skills in support of cross-functional, lateral, traditional, as well asnon-traditional career opportunities for our people.

As of 2016, our people are able to view the succession plans in which they are included. In 2017 we will continue on our journey towards an experience-based careers culture through:

Enabling and empowering our people with real-time, integrated tools and resources to plan and manage their career

Building awareness of experience-based careers for our people through stories and communications, prioritizing critical roles and capabilities that are directly in support of our health technology strategy

Facilitated‘gig-board’ of extra-curricular roles to increase flexible teaming across organization structures and provide opportunity for further development within existing roles

20% Guidance through coaching and mentoring

In 2016, Philips University launched a program for leaders to help them get the most out of our people, help them grow, and have meaningful career conversations. In 2017 we will drive further initiatives focused on:

Strengthening theemployee-and-manager career partnership with clear accountabilities

Equipping managers as effective career coaches who will have transparent career dialogues with their team, with differentiated development for deep specialists and broad leaders

10% Learning through formal learning

In 2016, more than 1,900 new courses were made available by Philips University. Byyear-end, over 86,000 employees had enrolled for courses with Philips University. In total, some 1.2 million hours were spent on training through Philips University in 2016, with some 580,000 training completions.

12.3.3 Employee volunteering

In North America, thePhilips Cares program provides ways for employees to work together to improve people’s lives by creating healthy, sustainable communities. This can take many forms: from helping a child to excel in math, or providing safety and energy-efficient home improvements for the disadvantaged, to raising awareness about the importance of cardiac health. In 2016 alone, more than 9,500 employee volunteers participated in community outreach projects that suited their needs, schedules, and passions individually as well as through partnerships with organizations such as the American Heart Association, International Medical Equipment Collaborative (IMEC), and the March of Dimes.

Since Q4 2016, all of our employees are now able to take 1 day per year to support charitable endeavors through volunteering. For example, in the Benelux 70 of our people were trained in resuscitation (CPR) by the Dutch Hartstichting (heart foundation), enabling them to provide support in the critical first period of a cardiac arrest.

12.3.4 Health and Safety performance

In 2016, we recorded 174 LWIC, i.e. occupational injury cases where the injured person is unable to work one or more days after the injury. This represents a significant decrease compared with 213 in 2015. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.18 per 100 FTEs, compared with 0.21 in 2015. The number of Lost Workdays caused by injuries decreased by 1,253 days (16%) to 6,728 days in 2016.

Additionally, in 2016, we recorded 395 TRC’s, i.e. cases where the injured employee is unable to work one or more days, or had medical treatment or sustained an industrial illness.

In 2016, we focused our efforts not only on traditional process and equipment safety improvements, but also on a proactive cultural transformation through Behavior Based Safety (BBS). BBS requires a fundamental shift in how we think and act about Health and Safety before an injury occurs. Our new company program, based on an internal best practice, was deployed and implemented globally across many factories in 2016 including those in China, Asia Pacific and the USA. We believe this program will continue to drive down our workplace injuries and be a key pillar towards reaching our goal of a 25% reduction in total injuries by 2020.

Health and Safety performance in the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment continued to improve in 2016 with 5 LWIC in 2016 compared to 6 in 2015. Correspondingly, the LWIC rate decreased to 0.15 in 2016 compared to 0.16 in 2015. This was primarily driven by our global patient monitoring businesses. The total number of recordable cases for the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment was 23 in 2016.

Personal Health businesses

The Personal Health businesses segment showed stable performance in Health and Safety with 21 LWIC in 2016, the same number as in 2015. The LWIC rate improved from 0.16 in 2015 to 0.15 in 2016. The Personal Health businesses segment had 46 recordable cases in 2016.

Lighting

Lighting showed an overall improvement while recording 71 LWIC compared to 119 in 2015. As a result the LWIC rate improved to 0.22 (0.34 in 2015). In 2016, Lighting had 156 reportable cases. Lighting introduced a new safety program in 2015 focusing on preventing injuries.

12.3.5 General Business Principles

A total of 503 concerns were reported over the course of 2016 via the Philips Ethics Line and through our network of GBP Compliance Officers, of which 164 related to Philips Lighting. The previous reporting period (2015) saw a total of 447 concerns, 135 of which related to Philips Lighting. Overall, we saw an increase of 13% in the total number of reports (11% for Royal Philips versus 21% for Philips Lighting).

This is a continuation of the upward trend reported since 2014, the year in which Philips updated its General Business Principles and deployed the related communication campaign, although the overall increase in the number of complaints reported has slightly declinedyear-on-year (2015: 14%). We believe this trend is in line with our multi-year efforts to encourage our employees to speak up, and we are now approaching a normalized level of reported concerns annually. The relatively larger increase in the number of concerns that relate to Philips Lighting is expected to relate, at least in part, to the separation event and the related corporate activities.

The upward trend in the number of concerns can primarily be attributed to significantly more concerns being reported in the North American (NA) region, making up 38% of the total number of reports in 2016 (2015: 31%). The number of concerns reported in Latin America once again declinedyear-on-year to 19% of the total number of complaints, compared with 25% in 2015. In percentage terms, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) remained quite stable, representing 20% and 23% of the total number of complaints respectively (2015: 21% and 20%).

In keeping with a trend that became visible in 2015, we again saw a more even distribution in reporting across the four regions. While the Americas were historically dominant in terms of number of cases reported, EMEA and APAC have now reached the same level as Latin America. We believe this to be as a result of significant communication efforts in addition to our Global GBP Communications campaign, especially in the APAC region, improving employees’ awareness of their rights with regard to the GBP, and the reporting facilities available to them.

Most common types of concerns reported

Treatment of employees

As in previous years, the most commonly reported type of concern related to the category Treatment of employees. In 2016 there were 276 reports in this category, compared to 242 in 2015. This represents 55% of the total number of concerns, which is a slight increase from 2015 (54%).

Two subcategories, Respectful treatment and Equal and fair treatment, make up just over 65% of the concerns related to Treatment of employees. The Respectful treatment category generally relates to concerns about verbal abuse, (sexual) harassment, and hostile work environments. Equal and fair treatment primarily addresses favoritism, and matters of discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace. 79% of the cases in these categories originated from the Americas, which is slightly more than in 2015 (76%).

Business integrity

The second most reported type of concern relates to Business Integrity, which made up 29% of the total cases reported. This is slightly less than in 2015, when the percentage was 31%. These concerns originated from the APAC region (45%), followed by EMEA (33%), Latin America (14%) and North America (8%).

Substantiated/unsubstantiated concerns

Of the 503 cases reported in 2016, 137 are still pending closure, in particular those that were filed towards the end of the year. The table below gives an overview of the number of reported concerns that were substantiated (i.e. found to constitute a breach of our General Business Principles) by the subsequent investigation.

Of the 366 reports investigated (267 in 2015), 115 were substantiated, which represents 31% of the total reported and closed (34% in 2015). This is also shown in the table below. Notably, while in 2015 39% of the Treatment of employee cases were substantiated, this percentage dropped to 28% in 2016 (2014: 22%, 2013: 20%). On the other hand, 40% of the Business Integrity reports were closed as substantiated in 2016, compared with 21% in 2015 (2014: 36%, 2013: 50%).

In addition to the above, 174 concerns that were still open at the end of 2015 were closed during 2016. 37% of these concerns were substantiated after investigation.

Of the 179 closed concerns that were substantiated, 100 were followed up with disciplinary measures varying from termination of employment and written warnings to training and coaching. In other cases, corrective action was taken, which varied from strengthening the business processes to increasing awareness of the expected standard of business conduct.

12.3.6 The Philips Foundation

The Philips Foundation was established in 2014 and is a registered charity that strives to improve the lives of people in communities in need. The Philips Foundation seeks to make use of the expertise of partners, visionaries and innovators and the innovation capabilities of Philips to create lasting impact. In 2016, the Philips Foundation continued to build its portfolio of projects and partners in the areas of community

development and social entrepreneurship, as well as in our approach towards disaster relief. Royal Philips and Philips Lighting supported the program of the Philips Foundation with a donation of EUR 10 million in 2016 and provided the operating staff, paymentin-kind and the expert support of skilled employees who support the Foundation’s program for part of their time.

A highlight of the year was the launch of a partnership with Ashoka, one of the world’s largest networks of social entrepreneurs, that identifies and invests in social entrepreneurs helping them to bring their ideas for solving social problems to scale. Through a six month ‘globalizer’ program, 12 social entrepreneurs were supported by advisory teams – involving 24 Philips volunteers to build their impact scaling plan. This culminated in athree-day summit where the social entrepreneurs were able to pitch their impact plans to a large group of senior experts, such as social investors, public sector representatives and Philips executives.

We additionally worked on strengthening our partnerships with the Red Cross and UNICEF. The partnership with the Red Cross focuses on exploring innovations that could assist in providing immediate relief to people in regions affected by humanitarian crises including natural disasters. We are working with the Netherlands Red Cross and the Ivory Coast Red Cross on a project in Ivory Coast to strengthen the resilience of a community in the Blolequin region with a focus on the health of mothers and children. The Philips Foundation and UNICEF have partnered to develop healthcare innovations for the first 1,000 days of children’s lives. We are supporting UNICEF’s Global Innovation Center and are a lead partner in the Kenya Maker for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Project in Nairobi, which focuses on developing and deploying solutions that improve access to healthcare for mothers and their children inlow-resource settings.

In addition, 36 local projects have been approved to be set up throughout the world. These projects are organized via the local Philips organization and NGO partner and funded by the Philips Foundation. These projects offer employee engagement opportunities including skilled expert volunteering. Employee donations were also a large part of the Philips Foundation’s response to the earthquakes in Ecuador, Japan and Italy as well as Hurricane Matthew in the USA. Along with ourco-creation projects we were able to respond to disasters around the world via our partnership with the Red Cross and global fundraisers, through which we raised a total of more than EUR 80,000 – a combination of employee donations and foundation matching.

More information about the Philips Foundation, its purpose and scope as well as the Philips Foundation Annual Report 2015 can be foundhere.

Examples of innovation projects supported by the Philips Foundation

The Philips Foundation, CurArte Foundation and Hospital Vall d’Hebrón teamed up to create‘Imatgina’, an advanced patient-centric initiative in pediatric radiology that aims to improve the experience children have during diagnostic imaging tests. The goal of the initiative is to enhance the experience for children by creating a friendly atmosphere that dispels the uncertainty and fear usually associated with these types of procedures. It is estimated that the project will improve the lives of over 7,000 children on an annual basis.

Every day in rural Uganda, 555 birth complications occur, which lead to the death of over 6,000 Ugandan women a year. Although ultrasound has proven to be instrumental in the early identification of these complications, its high cost and the lack of trained personnel mean that it is not widely available in rural areas. The Philips Foundation and Philips teamed up with Imaging the World (ITW) to identify and implement sustainable business models in the healthcare ecosystem of rural Uganda. Establishing sustainable and increased sources of funding will allow ITW to create new health clinics and impact the lives of an additional 35,000 Ugandan women and babies a year.

12.3.7 Stakeholder Engagement

Our engagements with various partners and stakeholders is essential to our vision of making the world healthier and sustainable through innovation. Some of our partnership engagements are described below.

Global partnerships

World Economic Forum

Philips is proud to continue as a strategic partner and active member of the World Economic Forum (WEF), an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. We supported and participated in a wide range of initiatives and projects through the year – regional WEF events, as well as the participation in International Business Council of the World Economic Forum.

Further to our various engagements with WEF, Frans van Houten has been selected to serve as a Stewardship Board Member of a key WEF initiative on shaping the “Future of Health and Healthcare”. The initiative will focus on managing the risk and impact of future epidemics addressing the shortfall in the world’s ability to respond to public health emergencies by developing a multifaceted cross-industry, cross-sectorial approach.

Annual Report 2016      221


Sustainability statements 12.3.7

Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization

Philips and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (Gavi), are partnering to improve the quality of immunization data and its collection in primary and community healthcare. The partnership will be piloting the project in Uganda. The goal of the partnership is to gather accurate data which both organizations believe is essential to improve patient outcomes, provide access to care and reduce costs. Good data is key to strengthening health systems around the world.

World Heart Federation

Philips announced a new partnership with the World Heart Federation (WHF) in 2016 to help people better manage their heart health. Aligned with the WHF’s ‘power your life’ campaign, Philips aims to encourage people to take personal responsibility for leading heart-healthy lives and to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease.

Thought leadership

Future Health Index

Philips launched a new report, the Future Health Index (FHI) in 2016, an extensive global study which explores how 13 countries around the world are positioned to meet long-term global health challenges through integration and connected care technologies. The Future Health Index measures readiness to address these challenges by examining perceptions about the accessibility and level of integration of healthcare services, and the adoption of connected care technology throughout national healthcare systems.

Digital transformation of health and care

Philips is a champion of the EU Blueprint on digital transformation of health and care for the ageing society. Philips will continue its engagement in the Blueprint through deploying digital innovation across the EU. We believe that this will contribute to development of value-based care models for the benefit of citizens/patients and sustainability of health systems.

Working on global issues

Sustainable Development Goals

Philips aspires to be a major private sector contributor to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were launched during the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2015. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (“’to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) and 12 (“to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”) are drivers and outcomes of sustainable development and Philips is committed to working closely with all relevant stakeholders to develop solutions to address these.

Strengthening primary care and enabling community development

Working in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Royal Philips plans to inaugurate a Community Life Center (CLC) in Mandera, a County in North-Eastern Kenya with one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates - 3,795 per 100,000 live births. The project supported by the County Government of Mandera is the second of its kind in the world; Philips inaugurated the first CLC in Kiambu County, Kenya in 2014. The CLC will deliver crucial primary healthcare and enhance community development in Mandera.

Access to primary healthcare in Africa is a complex and complicated issue, therefore a sustainable solution needs to address a wide range of issues collectively. Issues range from unavailability of qualified healthcare workers to the lack of electricity, water and basic healthcare technology. The creation of the CLC concept enabled Philips to realize its vision to drastically improve primary healthcare in Africa.

Grand Challenges Canada on childhood pneumonia

Philips and Grand Challenges Canada (GCC) are collaborating on an innovative project to aid and improve the diagnosis of childhood pneumonia in low resource settings.

Royal Philips received a repayable grant to scale the manufacturing and distribution of the Philips Children’s Automated Respiration Monitor (also known as ChARM) to make it affordable and accessible for community-based health workers inlow-resource settings throughout the world. ChARM has the potential to assist community health workers in establishing a more accurate measurement of a sick child’s breathing rate to help improve the diagnosis of pneumonia and potentially prevent some of the 922,000 childhood deaths caused by pneumonia each year.

Global Financing Facility

In 2016 Philips committed to supporting the Global Financing Facility (GFF) through our expertise in innovation and our core competencies in growing primary-care capacity. The GFF brings together a broad range of partners to promote the sustainable solutions needed to achieve universal coverage of health care. By creating the right financial and technical conditions for innovation, as a common objective we believe our involvement will achieve greater impact and better health outcomes through collaboration.

12.3.8 Supplier indicators

Philips has a direct business relationship with approximately 8,500 product and component suppliers and 22,000 service providers, and in many cases the sustainability issues deeper in our supply chain require us to intervene beyond tier 1 of the chain.

1. Supplier Sustainability Compliance

Two core policy documents form the basis of supplier sustainability compliance: the Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD) and the Regulated Substances List (RSL).

Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD)

The SSD sets out the standards and behaviors Philips requires from its suppliers. The SSD is based on the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct and covers the topics Health & Safety, Labor, Environment, Ethics and Management systems.

Regulated Substances List (RSL)

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

Following the SSD and RSL, Philips further specifies contractual and transparency requirements. Suppliers are obliged to contractually commit to the SSD and RSL andupon request provide additional information and evidence.

2. Supplier Sustainability Performance (SSP)

Since 2006, our supplier sustainability audits have been executed by third party auditors.

Due to insights gained through a thorough analysis of the audit program and the data it generated in the past 10 years our main conclusions were:

The audit process consists of a third party audit to verify the SSD compliance, it focuses on closing the identified “Non Conformities” and repeats every 3 years. The frequency of checks is not sufficient and the system does not lead to long lasting improvements of the sustainability performance or compliance rate of our suppliers.

Training and capacity-building programs are focused on general sharing of information and not necessarily on driving change or improvements. They do not always meet individual supplier needs.

To secure business continuity, suppliers try to pass the audit with the least possible effort rather than making lasting improvements.

Years of an audit culture which did not focus on long-lasting improvements has led to audit fatigue due to too many audits demanded by other customers.

Based on the above conclusions, Philips identified a need for change and developed a new “beyond audit” approach which:

Understands that suppliers may have initial deviations from the SSD and RSL.

Accepts that suppliers each have their own organizational – and sustainability maturity level and need an individual improvement plan.

Annual Report 2016      223


Sustainability statements 12.3.8

Is continuousand creates a cultural change leading toward long-term improvements.

Ultimately leads toone-cross-industry standard for supplier sites and will therefore remove the audit burden.

The new SSP approach has been piloted in 2016 on a sample of 93 suppliers in China with the following results:

90% of the suppliers completed a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), 57% of which were validated by Philips sustainability experts.

Followed by a site assessment at 20 supplier sites.

Through joint efforts an improvement Plan (IP) was developed and agreed upon with these 20 suppliers.

These 20 suppliers started executing the Improvement Plan, while Philips provides support and monitors progress on a regular basis.

The following observations were made after analyzing the first phase of the pilot:

Higher level of commitment and ownership from suppliers (also at top management level).

Change in mindset towards continuous improvement and transparency.

Suppliers are disclosing more areas for improvement than it would be possible to identify through an audit only.

Suppliers are moving away from quick fixes and towards lasting improvements.

Three key focus areas of SSP

We are primarily focusing on 3 areas: Health and Safety, remuneration and benefits, and workforce turnover.

Process Chemicals

Philips is an active member of the EICC project team on process chemicals, for further details on the strategy and approach of this project see theEICC position paper. In addition to this project team we have addressed the topic of process chemicals in the new SSP approach and we aim to identify if and how the manufacturing sites are managing process chemicals.

Summary of 2016 Sustainability Audit Program

In 2016, we audited 226 of our current risk suppliers, including 150 continued conformance audits with suppliers that we had already audited in 2013. As in previous years, the majority of the audits were done in China. With these audits we directly or indirectly impacted almost 180,000 workers employed at the production sites that were audited.

LOGO

On top of the audits with current risk suppliers, we also audited 28 potential suppliers during the supplier selection process. These potential suppliers need to close anyzero-tolerance issues before they can start delivering to Philips.

To track improvements Philips measures the ‘compliance rate’ for the identified risk suppliers, being the percentage of risk suppliers audited within the last 3 years who do not have or have resolved all major NCs. During 2016 we achieved a compliance rate of 90% (2015: 86%).

Audit findings

The table below shows the results of the full scope audits done during 2016; potential suppliers are not included. Most frequent areas ofnon-compliance in 2016:

3. Responsible Sourcing of Minerals

The supply chains of minerals are long and complex. There are typically 7+ tiers between theend-user companies like Philips and the mines where the minerals are being extracted.

Philips does not directly source minerals from mines in in the conflict-affected and high-risk regions, and the supply chain for these metals consists of many tiers, including traders, exporters, smelters, refiners, alloy producers and component manufacturers, before reaching Philips’ direct suppliers.

Mining in these regions often takes place in an artisanal form which often means it is informal and unregulated. Artisanal miners can become victims to exploitation by various militia and armed groups. This increases the risk of human rights violations (forced labor, child labor or widespread sexual violence), unsafe working conditions or environmental concerns.

Philips addresses the complexities of the minerals supply chains through a continuous due diligence process combined with multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals.

Conflict minerals due diligence

Philips annually investigates its supply chain to identify smelters of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold in its supply chain and we have committed not to purchase raw materials, subassemblies, or supplies which are found to contain conflict minerals.

Philips applies collective cross-industry leverage through active engagement via Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). The Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) identifies smelters that can demonstrate through an independent third-party audit that the minerals they procure are conflict free. Philips is actively directing its supply chain towards these smelters. Seewww.conflictfreesmelter.org for more details.

The Philips Conflict Minerals due diligence framework, measures and outcomes are described in the Conflict Minerals Report that we file annually with SEC. The Report is audited by an independent third party and made publicly available on Philips’website.

Multi-stakeholder initiatives for responsible sourcing of minerals

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

supply chains. Philips became a strategic, founding partner of EPRM in May 2016, being the first representative of the private sector to join the initiative.

Tin mining in Indonesia

Indonesia produces roughlyone-third of the world’s tin supply, of which the vast majority comes from the islands Bangka and Belitung.

In 2015, a Roadmap to sustainable tin mining was created in collaboration with the local industry and government, defining improvement areas for onshore land reclamation and offshorelow-impact mining.

In 2016, the first implementation pilot projects of the Roadmap were kicked off, governed by the local steering committee.

Dutch Covenant on Gold

Leaders of different industries using gold in The Netherlands together with the Dutch government and NGOs look for ways to make gold supply chains more responsible. Through 2016, the group has engaged in knowledge sharing to understand all specifics of the gold supply chain and to identify the right approach for the parties to address the most severe issues.

Mica Working Group

Mica is mainly used as a pearlescent pigment in coatings and cosmetics, and in the electronics sector it is used as an electrical insulator.

In 2016, Terre des Hommes in collaboration with SOMO published a report“Beauty and a Beast” which showed the widespread problem in the mica industry in Jharkhand/Bihar (India) and gaps in the due diligence of end user companies.

Philips decided to team up with Terre des Hommes in order to bring other mica users from all industries together to start a Mica Working Group with Terre des Hommes, Philips, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a group of 15 companies.

“Terre des Hommes Netherlands is pleased to partner with Philips in order to set up the Mica Working Group. Our report “Beauty and a Beast, child labor in India for sparkling cars and cosmetics” shows the challenges of mica mining and the need for immediate interventions. Philips became aware of the issue and immediately demonstrated its leadership in CSR by taking the initiative to bring partners from various industries together. Philips’ engagement in other responsible sourcing initiatives definitely supported the Mica Working Group to move forward. We are confident that this multi-stakeholder initiative will lead to a transparent, traceable and child labor free mica supply chain”

4. Circular Procurement

Philips’ ambition is to increase its circular value proposition and it has set a 2020 target of 15% circular revenues. Procurement can play a leading role in Philips’ transition towards a circular economy in order to achieve the 2020 target or even exceed this.

Topics where Procurement is actively involved are:

Circular procurement in the procurement policy. The next step is to define a circular procurement strategy and a clear long-term ambition.

The implementation of a governance structure beyond the procurement organization to cover the whole value chain is part of the internal Circular Economy Excellence network.

Execution of an analysis of internal and external circular service models to improve collaboration.

“In 2016 Philips and HP have further strengthened their business relationship by specifying and delivering an ITpay-per-device model which will cover more than 100,000 IT assets across 50 countries. Thisdevice-as-a-service solution supports both companies’ efforts towards a shared circular economy. Philips stands out in truly understanding the importance of managing its IT requirements in order to realise both maximum value and minimize environmental impact from IT products. HP is proud to be Philips’ partner of choice for IT asset management and will continue to collaborate on shared circular economy objectives.”

HP Case Study

Philips has used HP Asset Recovery Services since 2011 to comprehensively manage end of life IT assets worldwide, with data wiping, remarketing and recycling to mitigate security and privacy risk and ensure compliance. Over that time HP Asset Recovery Services have managed 80,000 assets across 24 countries, remarketing 90% of them.

5. Environmental Footprint China

In order to minimize our impact, we are supporting our Chinese suppliers to reduce their environmental footprint and at the same time to contribute to Philips’ sustainability strategy.

Achievements in 2016

Environmental footprint training for 120 suppliers by Philips Supplier Sustainability team.

Philips actively participated in the Sino-Dutch Sustainable Supply Chain Management Program held by the Dutch Consulate in Zhejiang and Jiangsu province.

Customer engagement (Starbucks) the supplier has established a new waste water treatment facility to ensure waste water discharging in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Environmental footprint data reported for improving performance by 20 suppliers as part of the SSP on-site development.

Energy savings via Supplier Development program - energy savings will be achieved upon implementation of the identified improvement actions.

Collaboration with IPE, a Chinese NGO

The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) is a registerednon-profit organization based in Beijing. IPE has developed two pollution databases (water and air) to monitor corporate environmental performance and to facilitate public participation in environmental governance. For more information please refer to IPE website.

SA is a Philips supplier located in Shenzhen . In April 2016, environmental issues were identified in the waste water discharge system of this supplier. This was reported via the IPE Pollution Map.

Philips experts immediately contacted the supplier account manager, an IPE expert and the supplier to identify the root-cause and work out an improvement plan. With multi-stakeholder engagement, SA had the IPE Green Choice Alliance audit and closed the issue with 50 environmental protection NGOs as witnesses.

12.4 Environmental statements

This section provides additional information on (some of) the environmental performance parameters reported insection 2.3, Environmental performance, of this report.

12.4.1 Circular Economy

The transition from a linear to a circular economy is essential to create a sustainable world. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using these resources more effectively.

The circular economy program

The circular economy program at Philips ran for the fourth year in 2016 and consists of four strategic pillars:

1.Connect to stakeholders outside Philips

2.Internal employee engagement

3.Create proof points and metrics

4.Embed circular economy in Philips processes

Philips leverages partnerships with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Circle Economy Netherlands, World Economic Forum, US Chamber of Commerce Foundation and The Guardian. For example, through the leadership of our CEO and supported by the circular economy program, Philips teamed up with the World Economic Forum to establish a public-private platform to accelerate the circular economy, launched in Davos in January 2017.

In many Philips Business Groups circular economy projects have started. These are either linked to customer access over ownership (pay for performance), business model innovations (from transactions to

Annual Report 2016      227

relationships via service and solution models) or reverse cycles (remanufacturing, refurbishment and parts harvesting).

Circular Revenues

In 2016, at Royal Philips, a new internal KPI was developed and deployed: Circular Revenues. The Circular Revenues percentage captures our revenues of validated circular products, services, and solutions, as a % of total Philips revenues. The validation is done against the following Philips circularity requirements which might be further refined in the future:

1. Performance and Access-based models

Revenues from contracts that include the condition that Philips has individualend-of-life responsibility for the product

2. Refurbished, Reconditioned & Remanufactured products/systems

Revenues from selling refurbished, reconditioned or remanufactured products/systems withre-used components >30% by total weight of product/ system

3. Refurbished, Reconditioned & Remanufactured components

Revenue from harvested components that have either been refurbished, reconditioned or remanufactured. The harvested component must contain >30%re-used parts or materials by total component weight. The component can either be a standalone component or part of a new product/system. The commercial value of the components is considered irrespective of whether it is part of a service, warranty or a sale.

4. Upgrades/refurbishment on site or remote

Revenue from upgrades of existing hardware and software either on site or remotely

5. Products with recycled plastics content

Revenues from products with a recycled plastics content of >25% by total weight of eligible plastics

We set the ambition that by 2020 a total of 15% of our revenues will come from circular propositions. This is double the rate of 7% baseline achieved in 2015. The result for 2016 is 9%. The main contributing revenue streams are for:

Personal Health businesses

Revenues from our B2C products that contain a large amount of recycled plastics, such as our businesses in coffee and domestic appliances

Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Our Diamond Select offer of refurbished imaging systems for sale, upgrading of systems at customer premises to enhance performance and extend lifetime, repair and reuse of spare parts

Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

A number of Philips businesses based on subscription models, such as for example the Philips Lifeline business and others

Closing material loops

In addition to tracking circular revenue, we are also further working to gain transparency over the material flows connected with the Philips businesses. In 2016 Philips put a total of some 242,000 tonnes of products on the market. This assessment is based on sales data combined with product-specific weights. 85% of the total product weight was delivered through our B2C businesses in Personal Health and 15% through our B2B businesses (Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses).

We can account for some 19,000 tonnes or approximately 10% of those products being collected,re-used or recycled globally in 2015. Europe has advanced collection systems in place. In these countries we have an average return rate of around40-50%. National legislation is required to create the level playing field needed to set up efficient recycling systems beyond the EU. The main pathways and quantities for materialre-use in 2015 were:

Trade-in and return for resale as refurbished products and for spare parts harvesting (Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics) some 2,400 tonnes, largely unchanged from 2014.

Collective collection and recycling schemes according to the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) collection schemes. Those products are broken down into the main material fractions and provided to the market via our recycling partners

800 tonnes from Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care & Health Informatics field returns, following the WEEE category 8 classification, indicating a slight decrease compared to the previous year (900 tonnes)

16,000 tonnes from Personal Health, following the WEEE category 2 classification

On the demand side, the Personal Health businesses havere-integrated significantly more recycled plastics in new products than last year, closing the material loop for some 1,440 tonnes of plastics, up from 900 tonnes in 2015.

More information can be found on thecircular economy website.

At Philips Lighting, circular economy activities are covered as part of their Green Revenues.

12.4.2 Biodiversity

Philips recognizes the importance of healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity for our company, our employees, and society as a whole. We aim to minimize any negative impacts and actively promote ecosystem restoration activities.

The Philips Biodiversity policy was issued in 2014 and progress was made on biodiversity management, both on sites (e.g. impact measurement), on natural capital valuation and at management level. Most initiatives were led by the environmental coordinators at our sites, for example at our Best and Drachten sites in The Netherlands, which serve as role models on the topic of biodiversity.

Philips participated in 2015 in the development of the Natural Capital Protocol and volunteered as a pilot company. These activities continued in 2016. The environmental impact of the Royal Philips sites is limited as they are not very energy-intensive and do not emit large quantities of high-impact substances. The impact of our supply chain however is significantly higher than our own impact. For this reason, we used the identifiedhot-spots in our supply chain as input for our CDP Supply Chain program. More information on that program can be found insub-section 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of this report.

12.4.3 Sustainable Operations

The Royal Philips HealthTech businesses and Philips Lighting Sustainable Operations programs related to improving the environmental performance of our manufacturing facilities focus on most contributors to climate change, but also address water, recycling of waste and chemical substances.

Energy use in manufacturing

Total energy usage in manufacturing amounted to 8,987 terajoules in 2016, a decrease of 7% compared to 2015. Philips Lighting consumed about 66% of the total and realized a 13%year-on-year reduction, which was mainly driven by a reduction of energy-intensive operations and energy efficiency improvements in the factories. The Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses realized a decrease in energy consumption of 5% due to operational changes. Energy consumption in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses increased by 8%, which was mainly due to the inclusion of two newly acquired sites. In the Personal Health businesses, site expansions and changed demand caused an increase in energy consumption, which was partly offset by energy efficiency improvements. The energy of discontinued operations amounted to 2,231 terajoules in 2016 (2015: 2,179 terajoules).

Operational carbon footprint and energy efficiency - 2016 details

Becoming carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020 is one of the key targets, after already reducing our operational carbon footprint very significantly during the past years (40% decrease in CO2 emissions in 2015 compared to our 2007 base year). Our carbon footprint decreased by 5% compared to 2015, resulting in a total of 1,344 kilotonnes CO2.

The 2016 results can be attributed to several factors:

Accounting for 24% of the total footprint, total CO2 emissions from manufacturing decreased by 17% due to operational changes resulting in decreased energy usage and a lower load (mainly in Philips Lighting); additionally the share coming from renewable sources increased.

CO2 emissions fromnon-industrial operations (offices, warehouses, etc.), representing 8% of the total emissions, increased this year due to increased overall floor space in ournon-industrial real estate portfolio. This resulted in a 3% carbon emission increase compared to 2015. In 2017, we will continue to focus on the most efficient use of facility space and increase the share of purchased electricity from renewable sources.

The total CO2 emissions related to business travel, accounting for 14% of our carbon footprint, showed a decrease of 4% compared to 2015. The reductions achieved with business flights and our lease cars was partially mitigated by an increase in our rental car emissions.

Overall CO2 emissions from logistics, representing 53% of the total, showed no overall change compared to 2015. We recorded an increase in emissions from air and road freight in Royal Philips, which was mitigated by a decrease in Philips Lighting.

Annual Report 2016      229


Sustainability statements 12.4.3

This increase in air freight combined with reduced emissions from parcel, road and ocean freight resulted in no overall change in our logistics emissions.

Carbon emissions in manufacturing

The greenhouse gas emissions of our manufacturing operations totaled 323 kilotonnes CO2-equivalent in 2016, 13% lower than in 2015. This was the result of decreased energy usage in manufacturing and operational changes. Direct CO2 emissions represented 56% of the total, which decreased by 10%. Indirect CO2 emissions represented 38%, an decrease of 18% due to lower electricity consumption. The carbon emissions of discontinued operations amounted to 175 kilotonnes CO2-equivalent in 2016 (2015: 145 kilotonnes CO2-equivalent).

CO2 emissions decreased significantly at Philips Lighting due to reduced energy usage resulting from operational changes and energy efficiency improvements. Emissions at the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses decreased due to an increase in use of electricity generated by renewable sources, partially offset by two newly acquired sites. The Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment decreased its CO2 emissions due to lower energy consumption. At the Personal Health businesses, CO2 emissions increased due to a decrease in the use of electricity generated by renewable sources. In December 2016, the Los Mirasoles windfarm in the US started to produce electricity. As a result, all our US operations will be powered by wind energy in 2017, a clear step towards our ambition to become carbon-neutral in our operations by 2020.

Hazardous substances emissions

In the ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program, new chemical reduction targets have been defined, on the most relevant categories of substances for Royal Philips, being hazardous substance emissions as well as VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. As part of the deployment of the new program, reduction targets at our industrial sites are being agreed. For more information on Philips Lighting’s emissions please refer to their Annual Report.

VOC emissions reduced significantly in 2016 (by 24%) to 129 tonnes. This decrease was mainly driven by a number of industrial sites in the Personal Health businesses segment, which changed their lacquering processes, as well as changes in the product mix. This was slightly offset by the inclusion of two newly acquired industrial sites in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses segment.

ISO 14001 certification

Most of the Royal Philips manufacturing sites are certified under the umbrella certificates for the Diagnosis & Treatment, Connected Care & Health Informatics and Personal Health businesses segments. Philips Lighting also has an umbrella certificate. In 2016, 82% of reporting manufacturing sites were certified, a 4% increase compared to 2015. Two sites were newly

12.5 Assurance report of the independent auditor

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

Our Opinion

We have audited the Sustainability Information in the annual report of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company), based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands for the year ended December 31, 2016. The scope of our audit engagement is described in Section “Our Scope”. An audit engagement is aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance.

In our opinion, the Sustainability Information in the annual report 2016 presents, in all material respects, a reliable and adequate view of:

the policy and business operations with regard to sustainability; and

the thereto related events and achievements for the year ended December 31, 2016

in accordance with the GRI Standards of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) (option Comprehensive) and the supplemental internally applied reporting criteria as disclosed in section 12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting in chapter 12 Sustainability statements of the annual report 2016.

Basis for our opinion

We have performed our audit on the Sustainability Information in accordance with Dutch law, including Dutch Standard 3810N “Assurance engagements relating to sustainability reports”. Dutch Standard 3810N is a subject specific standard under the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information”. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Section “Our responsibilities for the audit of the Sustainability Information”.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the “Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten” (ViO) (Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a Dutch 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. Furthermore, we have complied with the “Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants” (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

Our Scope

The Sustainability Information comprises chapter 12 Sustainability statements and sections 2.2 Social performance and 2.3 Environmental performance of the annual report 2016 and provides a representation of the Company’s policy, the related business operations, events and achievements relating to sustainability during 2016.

The Sustainability Information includes prospective information such as ambitions, strategy, plans, expectations and estimates. Inherent to this information is that the actual results may differ in the future and are therefore uncertain. We do not provide any assurance on the achievability and feasibility of this prospective information.

The references, excluding “Methodology for calculating Lives Improved” and “GRI content index”, in the Sustainability Information (www.philips.com, external websites, interviews and other documents) are outside the scope of our assurance engagement.

We have read the information on sustainability in the rest of the annual report 2016 and to the extent we can identify this information is consistent with the Sustainability Information in scope of our audit.

Responsibilities of management for the Sustainability Information

Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Information in accordance with the GRI Standards (option Comprehensive) and the supplemental internally applied reporting criteria as disclosed in section 12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting in chapter 12 Sustainability statements of the annual report 2016. This responsibility includes the identification of stakeholders and the determination of material aspects. The choices made by management regarding the scope of the Sustainability Information and the reporting policy of the Company is summarized in section 12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting.

Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or errors.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the Sustainability Information

Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high, but not absolute level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errors and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably

Annual Report 2016      233


Sustainability statements 12.5

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Information. 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 apply the “Nadere voorschriften accountantskantoren ter zake van assurance opdrachten (RA/AA)” and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with the Dutch Standard 3810N, ethical requirements and independence requirements.

Our audit included amongst others:

Evaluating the appropriateness of the reporting policy, its consistent application, including the evaluation of the results of the stakeholders’ dialogue, the reasonableness of management’s estimates and the related disclosures made by management.

Performing an external environment analysis and obtaining insight into relevant social themes and issues and the characteristics of the organization.

Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the Sustainability Information, whether due to errors or fraud, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from errors, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Interviewing management and relevant staff responsible for the sustainability’s strategy, policy and achievements.

Interviewing relevant staff at corporate level responsible for providing the information in the Sustainability Information, carrying out internal control procedures on the data and consolidating the data in the Sustainability Information.

Evaluating the design and implementation and testing the operating effectiveness of the reporting systems and processes related to the Sustainability Information.

Evaluating the underlying transactions and events.

Visits to production sites to evaluate the source data and to evaluate the design and implementation of control, including validation procedures, at local level.

Testing relevant data and internal and external documentation, on a sample basis, to determine the reliability of the Sustainability Information.

An analytical review of the data and trends submitted for consolidation at corporate level.

Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Sustainability Information.

Dividend policy

Philips’ dividend policy is aimed at dividend stability and apay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of net income after adjustments.

Net income after adjustments is the base figure used to calculate the dividendpay-out for the year. For 2016, the key exclusions to arrive at net income after adjustments are the following: the results that are shown as Discontinued operations, income from a pension settlement, a charge related to the currency revaluation of the provision for the Masimo litigation, financial charges related to bond redemptions, and a release in financial income and expense related to the Masimo settlement. Restructuring, acquisition-related and separation related charges are also excluded.

Proposed distribution

A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 11, 2017, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.80 per common share (up to EUR 745 million), in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income for 2016.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be tradedex-dividend as of May 12, 2017 and May 15, 2017 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam, respectively. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the stock market of Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 16, 2017.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 17, 2017 and June 9, 2017. If no choice is made during this election period the dividend will be paid in cash. On June 9, 2017 after close of trading, the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average

Annual Report 2016      239


Investor Relations 14.1

price of all traded common shares of Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on June 7, 8 and 9, 2017. The company will calculate the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share (the ratio), such that the gross dividend in shares will be approximately equal to the gross dividend in cash. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced on June 13, 2017. Payment of the dividend and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 14, 2017. The distribution of dividend in cash to holders of New York Registry shares will be made in USD at the USD/EUR rate as per WM/ Reuters FX Benchmark 2 PM CET fixing of June 12, 2017.

Further details will be given in the agenda for the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. All dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

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

In 2016, a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share was paid in cash or shares, at the option of the shareholder. For 55.0% of the shares, the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issue of 17,344,462 new common shares, leading to a 1.9% dilution. EUR 330 million was paid in cash. See alsosection 2.4, Proposed distribution to shareholders, of this report.

Share capital structure

During 2016, Philips’ issued share capital decreased by approximately 1 million common shares to approximately 930 million common shares. The main

reasons for this are the cancellation of 18,829,985 Philips shares acquired pursuant to the EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program (which was completed in October 2016) and the issuance of 17,344,462 shares related to the elective dividend. The number of common shares issued and outstanding increased from 917 million at December 31, 2015 to 922 million on December 31, 2016. On December 31, 2016, the shares held in treasury amounted to approximately 7 million, all of which are held by Philips to cover long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans.

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 does not only relate to gross long positions, but also to gross short positions. Required disclosures must be made to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) without delay. The AFM then notifies the Company of such disclosures and includes them in a register which is published on the AFM’s website. Furthermore, an obligation to disclose (net) short positions is set out in the EU Regulation on Short Selling.

The AFM register shows the following notification of substantial holdings and/or voting rights at or above the 3% threshold: BlackRock, Inc.: substantial holding of 5.03% and 6.19% of the voting rights (January 5, 2017).

The following shareholder portfolio information is based on information provided by several large custodians and a survey conducted in December 2016.

On September 17, 2013, Royal Philips announced a EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program. This program started on October 21, 2013 and was completed by October 20, 2016. The shares repurchased under this program were held by Philips as treasury shares until they were cancelled. As of December 31, 2016 all treasury shares that were repurchased under this program were cancelled.

Share repurchases related toLong-Term Incentive (LTI) and employee stock purchase programs

To cover outstanding obligations resulting from past and present long-term incentive (LTI) programs, Philips repurchases Philips shares from time to time, on

Euronext Amsterdam or otherwise. The shares repurchased to such LTI positions will be held by Philips as treasury shares until these are distributed to participants. In order to repurchase shares for covering LTI programs, Philips may enter into discretionary management agreements with one or more banks within the limits of relevant laws and regulations (in particular the EU Market Abuse Regulation and Philips’ Articles of Association.

In 2016, Philips repurchased a total of 8.6 million shares for LTI coverage. During 2017, Philips may continue with additional repurchases, the size of which will depend on the movement of the Philips share price.

Further details on the share repurchase programs can be found on the Investor Relations website. For more information seechapter 9, Corporate governance, of this report.

In 2016 Philips purchased call options on Philips’ shares matching the majority of the options granted to employees until 2013. As of December 31, 2016 Philips held 14.1 million call options as a hedge of 15.9 million remaining options granted to employees.

A total of 7,208,301 shares were held in treasury by the Company at December 31, 2016 (2015: 14,026,801 shares). As of that date, a total of 33.5 million rights under long-term incentive plans were outstanding (2015: 39.1 million).

14.7 Taxation

Dutch taxation

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

A holder of common shares is an individual who receives income or derives capital gains from common shares and this income received or capital gains derived are attributable to past, present or future employment activities of such holder, the income of which is taxable in the Netherlands.

Dividend withholding tax

In general, a distribution to shareholders by a company resident in the Netherlands (such as the Company) is subject to a withholding tax imposed by the Netherlands at a rate of 15%. Share dividends paid out of the Company’spaid-in share premium recognized for Dutch tax purposes are not subject to the above-mentioned withholding tax. Share dividends paid out of the Company’s retained earnings are subject to dividend withholding tax on the nominal value of the shares issued. Pursuant to the provisions of the US Tax Treaty, a reduced rate may be applicable in respect of dividends paid by the Company to a beneficial owner holding directly 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, if such owner is a company resident in the United States (as defined in the US Tax Treaty) and entitled to the benefits of the US Tax Treaty.

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

Dividends paid to qualifying exempt US pension trusts and qualifying exempt US organizations are, under certain conditions, exempt from Dutch withholding tax under the US Tax Treaty. Qualifying exempt US pension trusts normally remain subject to withholding at the rate of 15% and are required to file for a refund of the tax withheld. Only if certain conditions are fulfilled, such pension trusts may be eligible for relief at source upon

Annual Report 2016      247


Investor Relations 14.7

payment of the dividend. However, for qualifying exempt US organizations no relief at source upon payment of the dividend is currently available; such exempt US organizations should apply for a refund of the 15% withholding tax withheld. Further, under certain circumstances, certain exempt organizations (e.g. pension funds) may be eligible for a refund of Dutch withholding tax upon their request pursuant to Dutch tax law. Under proposed Dutch tax law (not yet entered into force as per January 1, 2017), provided certain conditions are met, such (US) organizations may be eligible for relief at source upon request.

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

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

3% of the amount of qualifying dividends redistributed by the Company; and

3% of the gross amount of certain qualifying dividends received by the Company.

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

Income and capital gains

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

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

Estate and gift taxes

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

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

has Dutch nationality and has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the ten years preceding the time of their death or gift; or

does not have Dutch nationality but has been a resident of the Netherlands at any time during the twelve months preceding the time of the gift (for Netherlands gift taxes only).

United States Federal Taxation

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to a US holder (as defined below) of owning common shares. It applies only if the common shares are held as capital assets for

Investor Relations 14.7

tax purposes. This section does not apply to a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

a dealer in securities,

a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,

atax-exempt organization,

a life insurance company,

a person liable for alternative minimum tax,

a person who actually or constructively owns 10% or more of our voting stock,

a person who holds common shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

a person who purchases or sells common shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or

a person whose functional currency is not the US dollar.

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

If a partnership holds the common shares, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the common shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the common shares.

A US holder is defined as a beneficial owner of common shares that is:

a citizen or resident of the United States,

a domestic corporation,

an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

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

This discussion addresses only United States federal income taxation.

Taxation of Dividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, the gross amount of any dividend paid in stock or cash out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) is subject to United States federal income taxation. For anon-corporate US holder, dividends paid that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that thenon-corporate US holder holds the common shares for more than 60 days during the121-day period beginning 60 days before theex-dividend date and provided it meets other holding period requirements. Dividends paid with respect to the common shares generally will be qualified dividend income1). A US holder must include any Dutch tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though it does not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to a US holder when it receives the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. For dividend payments made in euro, the amount of the dividend distribution that a US holder must include in its income will be the US dollar value of the euro payments made, determined at the spot euro/ US dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution can be included in its income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into US dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date a US holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date a US holder converts the payment into US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as anon-taxable return of capital to the extent of a US holder’s basis in the common shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, US holders should expect to generally treat distributions we make as dividends.

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

Annual Report 2016      249


Investor Relations 14.7

“passive” or “general” income for the purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the holder.

Taxation of Capital Gains

A US holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its common shares will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount that it realizes and its tax basis, determined in US dollars, in its common shares. Capital gain of a non-corporate US holder is generally taxed at preferential tax rates where the holder has a holding period greater than one year2). The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

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

1)In addition, a US holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the US holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the US holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (the “Medicare tax”). A US holder’s net investment income generally includes its dividend income.
2)In addition, the gain or loss is generally included in a US holder’s net investment income, which may be subject to a 3.8% tax as described in the discussion of the Medicare tax under the heading – “Taxation of Dividends”.

14.8 New York Registry Shares

Green Products offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more Green Focal Areas: Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Recycling and disposal and Lifetime reliability. The life cycle approach is used to determine a product’s overall environmental improvement. It calculates the environmental impact of a product over its total life cycle (raw materials, manufacturing, product use and disposal). Green Products need to prove leadership in at least one Green Focal Area compared to industry standards, which is defined by a sector specific peer group. This is done either by outperforming reference products (which can be a competitor or predecessor product in the particular product family) by at least 10%, outperforming product specificeco-requirements or by being awarded with a recognizedeco-performance label. Because of different product portfolios, sectors have specified additional criteria for Green Products, including product specific minimum requirements where relevant.
