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 Solutions opportunities.

opportunities respectively. To achieve this transformation,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 January 1, 2015,71.225% to approximately 55.180%. The transaction is in line with Philips’ stated objective to fully sell down its stake in Philips started to integrate the sectors Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare into one operating company focused on our HealthTech businesses. At the same time Philips is takingLighting over the next step in the implementation of its new operating model which will give the company a dedicated, focused and lean management structure, as a result of the planned integration of the relevant sector and group layers.

The establishment of the two stand-alone companies will also involve the split and allocation of the current Innovation, Group & Services sector to each company in 2015. This means that in the course of 2015 the IG&S sector as currently described in this Annual Report will disappear and no longer be presented as a separate segment for reporting purposes.several years.

Philips also started the processhas signed an agreement to carve out its Lighting business into a separate legal structure and will consider various options for ownership structures for this company with direct access to capital markets. The proposed separation of the Lighting business impacts all businesses and markets as well as all supporting functions and all assets and liabilities of the Group and may require complex and time consuming disentanglement efforts. Philips expects the separation will take approximately 12-18 months and currently estimates separation costs to besell an 80.1% interest in the range of EUR 300-400 million in 2015. However, the separation could take more time than originally planned or anticipated, which may expose Philips to risks of additional cost and other adverse consequences. It should be noted that there is no certainty as to the method or timing of the separation of the Lighting business. For further information on specific risks involved in the separation please refer to chapter 7, Risk management, of this report.

Finally, Philips is in discussion with external investors for the combined Lumileds and Automotive Lighting businesses and expects to complete acertain 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 2015. Therefore,2017, subject to customary closing conditions, including the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of income and cash flows. As a result, Lumileds and Automotive sales and Adjusted IFO are no longer included in the Lighting and Group results of continuing operations. Prior-period financial information presented and discussed in this Annual Report have been restated for the treatment of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive as discontinued operations (see note 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale). The applicable assets and liabilities of these combined businesses are reported under Assets and Liabilities classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014.relevant regulatory approvals.

These developments will have a significant impact on Philips and its organization in many respects. From an external financial reporting perspective, it should be noted that the planned organizational changes will require Philips to transition to a new reporting structure in the course of 2015. At that stage, and in view of applicable IFRS requirements, Philips will report and discuss its financial performance on the basis of different reportable segments than the sectors currently presented and discussed in this Annual Report.

Further updates will be provided in the course of 2015.

Use of non-GAAP information

Koninklijke Philips N.V. 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 sales growth’, ‘comparable sales 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. 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.

Philips discusses “adjusted income from operations” in the 2014 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).

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

Introduction

measurement as it will not be distorted by the unpredictable effects of future, unidentified acquisitions.

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 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.

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, proceeds from sale 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.

“We believe that our active reshaping of the portfolio is the best wayhave transformed Philips into a focused leader in health technology, delivering innovation to create value for our shareholdershelp people manage their health and to ensure a successful future for the customers and employees of both companies.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 2014May 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 sharpenedreduced our strategic focusstake in Philips Lighting’s issued and tookoutstanding share capital to approximately 55%, in line with our stated aim to fully sell down our stake in Philips Lighting over the next step onseveral years. Separately, in December we signed an agreement to sell the combined Lumileds and automotive lighting businesses, effectively completing our Accelerate! transformation journey by announcing our plan to establish two pure-play, customer-focused companiesportfolio transformation.

I am pleased with the momentum in the areasoverall business performance of our HealthTech portfolio as our health technology businesses posted 5% comparable sales growth1and Lighting Solutions – both leveraging the trusted Philips brand.

In light of the mega-trends that are shaping our world – growing and aging populations, thea significant increase in chronic diseases, urbanization, energy resource constraints, etc.profitability. At the same time, we again stepped up our investments in quality, growth initiatives and innovation.

Our solutions approachboth companies will be well placedwhere we combine suites of systems, smart devices, software and services to capture growth opportunities as innovative technology solutions & services partners.

Royal Philips will help address the challenges facing the health care ecosystem through new, more integrated forms of care delivery across the health continuum – aided by Big Data, clinical decision support, and the Internet of Things.

The convergence of our consumer technologies that facilitate healthy living, our medical technologies that help clinicians to deliver better treatment, and our mobile and cloud-based technologies that allow data sharing will help health care systems tocustomers improve patient outcomes quality of care delivery and cost productivity.

We see considerable scopeproductivity – continues to grow in this space, both organically and through bolt-on acquisitions. Our acquisition of Volcano is the next step in building out our HealthTech portfolio and will strengthen our leadershipgain traction, as evidenced by 11% solutions revenue growth in the growing image-guided therapy market.year and our winning 15 new long-term strategic partnerships around the world with an aggregate value of approximately EUR 900 million.

Similarly,In 2016, our products and services improved the lives of 2.1 billion people around the world. We also launched our 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 operations by 2020. And at the World Economic Forum in January 2017 the Chairman of our Supervisory Board and I 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 Lighting Solutions space,hospital and the home, expand our LED- basedsolutions capability and continue to deliver on the promise of digitization and smart, connected valuecare.

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 market-leading propositions in personal health, we have natural touchpoints with consumers to promote healthy lifestyles, which are going beyond illuminationcritical to good health. For example, our Dream Family is a comprehensive solution comprising sleep therapy devices, a comfortable mask, therapy management software and transforming the way we useservices to provide a good night’s sleep for people with obstructive sleep apnea. And our personalconnected Sonicare toothbrushes with smart sensor technology help to improve oral healthcare through real-time feedback and public spaces. By giving people satisfying and inspiring experiences, solutions such as Power over Ethernet office lighting, city-wide lighting management and our Philips Hue smart home lighting are set to transform the very fabric of modern life.post-brush analytics.

Message from the CEO 21

 

The separationIn 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 leading in image-guided, minimally invasive therapies which, compared with open surgery, have the benefits reduced patient trauma, shorter recovery times and higher productivity. Our suites of interventional 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 and to deal forthrightly with the possible impact of regulatory investigations. We believe we are making progress in improving our customer excellence programs and in strengthening margins through productivity. This is a continuation of our LightingAccelerate! 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 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.

Second, 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 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 have taken products that have been successful in the United States or Japan, for example, and brought them into emerging economies, where there is a lean, agile, stand-alone company will ensure it is better positioned to capture growth ashuge appetite for innovation and our brand. We anticipate market share gains in several of our businesses, including our Diagnostic Imaging business, which has largely overcome the world leader in energy-efficient, digital lighting solutions.

We believe that this active reshapingincidents of the portfolio, including the projected sale of the combined Lumileds and Automotive Lighting components businesses, is the best way to create value for our shareholders and to ensure a successful future for the customers and employees of both companies.past.

Performance in 2014 - a challenging year

AsThird, we had expected, 2014 was a difficult year. We continued to improve operational performance in most businesses, yet saw significant headwinds (e.g. market slowdown, exchange rate fluctuations) and other items (e.g. legal matters, restructuring, internal quality and supply chain issues) denting our results, with Adjusted IFO declining by 6.6 percentage points of sales.

Sales were 1% lower on a comparable basis, reflecting sustained softness in a number of markets, including China and Russia, and the voluntary temporary suspension of production at our Cleveland facility.

These factors – compounded by currency effects and the delayed ramp-up of production and shipment from our Cleveland facility – also impacted profitability, resulting in reported Adjusted IFO of 3.8% of sales.

Having said that, the overall figures mask some encouraging performance and strategic shifts. At Healthcare, a major effort was made to remediate the situation in Cleveland and secure external certification of the updated quality management system – setting the stage for a better 2015 as the resumption of shipments gathers momentum. Expanding its offering to help consumers make healthier choices, Consumer Lifestyle continued to perform very well, posting strongaredriving future growth and earnings. And, pursuing its four-pillar strategy, Lighting recorded a 32% increaseprofit expansion with our shift to solutions. We are investing strongly in LED-based sales.

We also took decisive action to address underperformance. At Healthcareresearch and development for value-added, integrated solutions along the health continuum, most notably in the US we rolled out a new go-to-market model for enterprise-level integrated account management. Also in North America, we strengthened Professional Lighting Solutions’ management teamareas of precision diagnostics, cardiology, oncology, respiratory, and refined a multi-channel go-to-market model to unlock the potential we see in that market. And in Europe, we acted to strengthen Consumer Luminaires’ fundamentals and cost structure, including an optimized portfolio and supply chain.

By the end of 2014 we had completed 41% of our EUR 1.5 billion share buy-back program, and we continue working to further improve the efficiency of our balance sheet.

Supported by Accelerate!population health.

Our Accelerate! transformation program helped us manage through this challenging year, driving improvements across the organization, not least in serving our customers better. Strong customer focus was key to securing long-term partnerships with Karolinska University Hospital and Stockholm County Council in Sweden, Mayo Clinic in the US, and Reinier de Graaf hospital in the Netherlands.

We are seeing quarter-to-quarter growth in the number of such deals, which are all about clinical knowledge, in-depth relationships, and integrated solutions rather than discrete products. Customers are not asking for specific items of equipment, but rather our advice and help in devising, for example, a care pathway to ensure a patient is accurately diagnosed as quickly as possible and in the operating room within 90 minutes of having a stroke. Faced with challenges like these, our combination of customer focus, innovative strength and solutions thinking is key to delivering a successful outcome.

In this context, I am very pleased that the KLAS organization presented Philips with the Best in KLAS award for 2014 during a ceremony at the annual RSNA event in Chicago. The Best in KLAS rankings are based on feedback from customers.

In 2014 we continued to apply Lean methodology to transform our customer value chains. This again enabled us to speed up time-to-market for our innovations – locally relevant value propositions, such as our affordable VISIQ ultra-mobile ultrasound system, our smart Air Purifier in China, and our flat SlimStyle LED light bulb. Innovations like these make a real difference to people’s lives.

Accelerate! also helped us to deliver gross overhead cost savings of EUR 284 million in the year, keeping us on track to hit our 2016 cumulative target of EUR 1.8 billion.

Other key developments in 2014

In Interbrand’s annual ranking of the world’s top 100 brands, our brand value rose by 5%, passing the USD 10 billion mark for the first time.

In Philips Research’s centenary year, we underscored our commitment to meaningful innovation by investing EUR 1,635 million in Research & Development in line with prior years and achieving our target of EUR 2 billion spend on Green Innovation a year ahead of schedule. Turning investment into intellectual property, we filed 1,680 patent applications. And with a view to capturing opportunities to create a healthier, more sustainable Africa, we set up an Innovation Hub for the continent in Kenya.

We continued to deliver on our EcoVision commitments in 2014, and our sustainability drive again received widespread recognition – a #14 ranking in Interbrand’s

I am also delighted that we were able to set up the Philips Foundation, a registered charity organization dedicated to helping enable lasting social change in disadvantaged communities through the application of innovation, talent and resources provided by Philips.

An exciting futurecare.

With our decision to create two companies in the areas of HealthTech and Lighting Solutions, we have clearly set our strategic direction.

The road ahead is clear, and our determination to succeed absolute. By continuing to execute our Accelerate! program, we will serve our customers better and compete more effectively in the coming years. We will listen closely to our customers, so we continue to understand and anticipate their needs and market requirements.

We will improve operational excellence in everything we do, enhance our capabilities, and implement a standard operating model. Building upon the Philips Business System, this operating model will make us a simpler, more agile company, while also reducing overhead cost.

In order to drive growth, we have encouraged locally relevant innovation, invested in developing business with governments, boosted our advertising and promotion investments, and started new business creation in areas such as Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services, Healthcare Transformation Services and Personal Health Solutions.

Over the coming year we will also maintain our focus on improving gross margins, e.g. through our Design for Excellence (DfX) program. And we will realize productivity gains from the overhaul of our business model architecture, with all businesses adopting one of four standardized business models.

In conclusion

We are proposing to the upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to maintain this year’s distribution at EUR 0.80 per share, in cash or stock.

LOGO

Looking ahead, we remain cautious about the macroeconomic outlook and expect ongoing volatility in some of our end-markets. We also anticipate further restructuring and separation costs in 2015 and 2016.

As of year-end 2014 we are tracking one percentage point behind on the path to achieving each of our 2016 Group financial targets. We are convinced that this does not change our longer-term performance potential, considering the attractiveness of the Lighting Solutions and HealthTech markets and our competitive position. Later this year, as we progress with the separation of Philips and reallocation of IG&S, we will update the market about the integral performance targets for each of the two operating companies.

On behalf of my colleagues on the Executive Committee, I would like to thank all our employeescustomers and stakeholders for their hardcontinued support. I would also like to pay tribute to our teams around the world for their outstanding work over– and the past year, as well as their willingnessprogress they achieved – in the course of the year.

Market opportunities

With our understanding of many of the longer-term challenges our world faces, we see major opportunities to apply our innovative competencies and create value for our stakeholders by delivering technology solutions that improve people’s lives more effectively.

We see a growing need for integrated health care delivery

As the population gets older, with more chronic and lifestyle-related diseases, health care systems are struggling to increase access and quality of care while managing spiraling costs. At the same time, people are increasingly looking for new ways to proactively monitor and manage their health. This is driving the convergence of professional health care and consumer end-markets across the health continuum.

With customers expressing a need for integrated solutions, Royal Philips’ businesses in HealthTech – with their combined clinical and consumer capabilities and cloud-based digital health platform – are well positioned to capture growth in an increasingly connected world, where people are wanting to live healthier lives and societies are looking for more effective and lower-cost solutions along the health continuum. Their total addressable market is estimated at over EUR 100 billion.

We see increasing demand for energy-efficient and digital lighting

The lighting industry is undergoing a radical transformation, driven by the market’s transition to LED and digital technology. Three mega-trends are providing a huge opportunity.

The rapid rise in the world’s population and in new lighting applications is increasing global demand for light. At the same time, with lighting accounting for 19% of global electricity consumption, the world really needs that light to be energy-efficient. And with the integration of LED technology, lighting controls and software opening up new functionality and services, the world will also benefit from the compelling new applications that digital light can offer.

As a stand-alone company, the Lighting Solutions business will be better positioned to capture the value which is shifting from individual products to connected LED lighting systems and services, more than offsetting the decline of conventional lighting. Its total addressable market is estimated at over EUR 60 billion.

4.2 How we create value

Understanding and meeting people’s needs

At Philips, our starting point is always to understand the specific challenges local people face – whether they be a hospital director, a city planner, a doctor, a real estate developer, a consumer, etc.

Having gained these deep insights, we then apply our outstanding innovation capabilities, strong brand, global footprint and talented and engaged people – often in value-adding partnerships – to deliver solutions that meet these needs and make the world healthier and more sustainable.

We measure the impact our solutions are having around the world with our independently verified Lives Improved model. 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.

Our business system

To ensure that success is repeatable, i.e. that we create value for our stakeholders time and time again and deliver on our mission and vision, we have adopted the Philips Business System.

Having a single business system reduces complexity, increases speed and, crucially, allows us to spend more time with customers and driving improvement across the company.

Our mission

To improve people’s lives through meaningful innovation

Our vision

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. We will be the best place to work for people who share our passion. Together we will deliver superior value for our customers and shareholders.

LOGO

Group strategy

We manage our portfolio with clearly defined strategies and allocate resources to maximize value creation.

CAPs

We strengthen and leverage our core Capabilities, Assets and Positions as they create differential value: deep customer insight, technology innovation, our brand, global footprint, and our people.

Excellence

Path to Value

We define and execute business plans that deliver sustainable results along a credible Path to Value.

The ‘Creating value for our stakeholders’ diagram, based on the International Integrated Reporting Council framework, shows how – with the Philips Business Systemembedded sustainability at the heart of our endeavors – we use six different formsbusiness processes, and Green Revenues, including products and solutions sales, increased to 64% of capital to drive valuetotal revenues in 2016.

Family-centered care for newborns

In a child’s first precious weeks of life, every parent knows their family is the center of the universe. And when that child is sick, medics need every tool to ensure that family gets the best care.

“Family-centered care is our philosophy, we want to combine technology with humanization and place the mother and newborn at the center of this,” says Professor Fabio Mosca, Director of the Intensive Neonatal Unit at Italy’s Mangiagalli Hospital.

Instead of his intensive care unit being a place defined by life and death, it has, thanks to Philips, become a unit remarkably attuned to the specific rhythms of mother and baby. The entire unit’s environment has been adapted specifically for two main reasons. First, to boost the baby’s immune system and, second, to improve a mother’s chance of breast-feeding successfully.

This is a great example of the kind of partnership Philips has perfected – improving people’s lives through using innovative technologies, skills and know-how throughout the continuum of care. By sharing the philosophy of the Family Center Care, the collaboration ensures the well-being of all the people involved – the child, the family and the healthcare staff.

Getting to theheart of health

Recent research suggests that the ongoing health of our teeth and gums has a connection with the health of our heart.

Which is why some innovative thinking from Philips specifically focused on how to improve dental care has had such a profound effect on the way we manage our lifestyles, no matter how old we are or where we live. Everyone knows that brushing teeth regularly is essential for good oral hygiene, but sometimes to truly improve people’s lives, we need a helping hand from technology. As Michael Noack, Professor of Dental Care & Periodontology at the University of Cologne states, the applied technology of the revolutionary Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush protects gums and removes plaque far better than regular toothbrushes. The difference between the two is obvious, he says.

A consumer medical breakthrough that was first developed in the 1980s and which has been continuously perfected since, the Sonicare electric toothbrush is designed to empower people to take control of their personal dental care. It’s the very embodiment of the sort of meaningful, impactful innovations that Philips has become synonymous with.

Illuminationand beyond

Connected lighting systems combine intelligent illumination with data and connectivity to deliver the best possible lighting experience and extraordinary value beyond illumination.

In a connected lighting system, every light point is networked together and digitally controlled, creating a more intelligent, flexible, efficient, and dynamic lighting system.

When merged with the IT network in a building or city and connected to lighting management software, a connected lighting system allows the managers of spaces to simplify and streamline the commissioning, monitoring, and management of lighting in a city or facility, exercise greater control over the ambience and atmosphere of illuminated spaces, and improve energy efficiency.

By outfitting light points with motion, occupancy, and other kinds of sensors, a connected lighting system can provide deeper insight into the usage and activities of indoor and outdoor spaces.

With real-time and historical occupancy data, managers can specifically target the distribution of lighting and other resources, such as heating, cooling, and cleaning, to achieve unprecedented levels of energy efficiency and sustainability.

In indoor spaces, light points can also be outfitted with wireless communications. Because lighting is installed virtually everywhere that people go, the lighting system becomes a pervasive platform for information and services.

Businesses can create mobile apps to deliver in-context information and a range of location-based services to the users of indoor spaces, including indoor wayfinding, in-context information, personalization, and targeted discounts.

Connected lighting can also integrate with third-party technologies, creating flexible, scalable systems that can be configured to respond to the specific requirements of professional and public environments.

Small in size,big in recycled plastics

With high recycled plastic content and other sustainability credentials, the new SENSEO® Up coffee machine is part of a major initiative to incorporate recycled plastics into product design.

In designing SENSEO® Up – our first one-cup coffee machine aimed at single or double households – we challenged our designers to specify recycled plastics right from the start of the design process.

The designers had to contend with two challenges. The first was a question of aesthetics. Recycled plastics are only available in dark colors, but not a real deep black. We overcame this problem by using a different architecture built around an internal frame that is not visible to the end-user.

The second challenge was to use recycled plastics in the baseplate. First, we textured the part to give the recycled plastic a high-quality look and feel. Then we used one matt black color for the complete range instead of many color variations. And thirdly, we made the baseplate less visible by focusing attention on the colored housing above it. This approach allowed us to make the baseplate from 90% ABS plastic from post-consumer electronic waste.

LOGO

By designing-in the use of recycled plastics from the outset, we succeeded in launching the new SENSEO® Up with 13% recycled plastics content. SENSEO® Up offers other environmental benefits too. Its compact size means that it needs less packaging and causes fewer emissions in transport. And it goes to off mode immediately after the coffee is brewed, saving 10% energy compared to other SENSEO® machines shutting off automatically.

Slim LED bulb,slimmer utility bills

Breaking with traditional design, the Philips SlimStyle LED bulb shows that a value-priced offering can deliver the innovation, energy efficiency and light quality that consumers want.

“The main drive to start the SlimStyle project was to maintain our leadership position in LED lighting worldwide,” says Agnieszka Kudyba, Integral Project Leader at Philips Lighting. “We’re in the midst of the LED revolution. Now we need to make sure we get mass adoption. The challenge was to get a replacement for the 60 W bulb, lasting for 25,000 hours, below 10 dollars. And we had to get it on the shelf within six months in order to strengthen our position as a leader in LED lighting. And we did it!”

The main architectural challenges in this project were to achieve the lowest cost possible and to fulfill US ENERGY STAR requirements. “From past experience we learned that we needed to reduce the number of components of the lamp,” explains Gon Weijers, Architect, Philips Lighting. “So we moved from more than 10 parts to only five parts in this lamp, which makes disassembly and recycling of the lamp much easier. And also, its compactness and low weight reduces shipping costs and CO2 emissions. The combination of all these insights led us to the design of this lamp, which is flat, functional and innovative.”

Having defined the required design, there were still significant technical hurdles to be overcome. As Peter Bukkems, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Philips Lighting explains: “For me as mechanical engineer the biggest challenge was to combine the thermal and optical disciplines into one product. We solved the thermal performance by removing the expensive aluminum heat sink and making direct contact from the LED board towards the covers. We integrated the optics into the clean plastic materials. We made the assembly complete by using ultrasonic welding – we didn’t use any screws or glue in the design, but simply melted the two covers together.”

Innovative design, affordable price, lasting energy savings, and no compromise on light quality – it’s a winning combination.

“Overall, 2014 was a setback in our performance trajectory. We have taken clear action to drive stronger operational performance across our business, and expect sales growth and Adjusted IFO margin improvements in 2015 and beyond.” Ron Wirahadiraksa, CFO Royal Philips

5.1 Financial performance

Prior-period financial information has been restated for the treatment of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive as discontinued operations (see note 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale) and for two voluntary accounting policy changes (see note 1, Significant accounting policies).

Management summary

The year 2014

In 2014, we continued to improve operational performance in most businesses, yet saw significant headwinds - ranging from geo-political crises and exchange rate fluctuations, to legal matters and the voluntary suspension of production at the Cleveland facility. In 2014, the voluntary suspension of production at our Cleveland facility and the jury verdict in the Masimo litigation strongly impacted our 2014 performance.

At 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. The suspension negatively impacted Healthcare’s sales and Adjusted IFO in 2014.

On October 3, 2014 Philips announced that it would appeal the jury verdict in the patent infringement lawsuit by Masimo Corporation (Masimo), in which Masimo was awarded compensation of USD 467 million (EUR 366 million). The jury verdict is part of extensive litigation, which started in 2009, between Masimo and Philips involving several claims and counterclaims related to a large number of patents.

Net income for the year amounted to EUR 411 million, as lower operational earnings were partly offset by lower income tax expense and higher results from investments in associates and discontinued operations.

Sales amounted to EUR 21,391 million, a 3% nominal decline for the year. Excluding unfavorable currency effects, comparable sales were 1% below the level of 2013,

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.

This change lowers the Company’s Defined Benefit Obligation, which is recognized as a past-service cost gain. Compensatory measures are given in wages for employees impacted.

2013 included past-service cost gains of EUR 81 million, which included EUR 78 million related to the announced freeze of accrual after December 31, 2015 for salaried workers in the Company’s US defined-benefit pension plan. In the same US plan a settlement loss of EUR 31 million was recognized in 2013 following a lump-sum offering to terminated vested employees.

The deficits recognized on our balance sheet decreased by approximately EUR 400 million due to a higher discount rate in the US, cash contributions and the US events described above. The surpluses of the plans in the Netherlands and UK decreased, but as Philips does not recognize a surplus in these countries, the net balance sheet position was not impacted.

In 2013, major progress was made in managing the financial exposure to defined-benefit plans, such as the changes in the funding of the Dutch pension plan, the changes in the US plan as described above, and a buy-in in the UK plan.

The year 20142016

Throughout 2014, market prices for energy and raw materials showed diverse trends. These commodities represent approximately 15% of our direct and indirect spend. WithinIn the metals commodity group, copper prices declined in the coursefirst quarter of the year, whereas others, e.g. aluminum,global economic growth was running 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 an upward trend. Also, inincreases during 2016, driven by a steeper 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 for 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 resins, differences were seen between grades and regions. In general, annual average market prices were around 2013 levels. The global slowdownother metals all surged by over 20% in the economy,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 more specifically slowthe acceleration of public-private partnership infrastructure projects.

tensions, terrorism and the European challenge with refugees could also play a key role in the outlook in several economies.

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.

Implications

The lower commodity market prices over the last two years created a tailwind for Philips. The coming year will show a different picture, judging by current economic improvement, speculation on apick-upin commodity demand and actual price increases over the first quarterslast months of 2014. From Q4, prices for2016.

Concerning shortages, the low price levels of raw materials and especially oil, started to significantly decline as a consequence of the continuing macro-economic weakness, resulting in oversupplied markets.

Rare earth element prices continued to slide, and this contributed to higher savings levels in 2014. 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 tight availability of xenon for halogen lamps has relaxed, and also the price level has started to come down. This is partly caused by lower demand for halogen lamps in end-markets. The availability and price of helium continues to be a concern, but measuresenergy during 2016 have been taken to mitigate the impact.

This has had a major positivecreates the risk of new headwind once real consumption picks up again and structural impact on overall cost levels in all Philips businesses.the supply-demand situation reverses.

The year 20132015

Throughout 2013Global growth remained moderate during 2015. While the average marketadvanced economies showed a modest recovery, the emerging markets showed further declines in their growth rates. Main themes in 2015 were further signs of weakening economic growth in emerging markets, especially China, strongly declining oil prices, commodity prices trending down slightly, and currency volatility.

Growth within the US, Europe and Japan was supported by declining oil and material prices, monetary policies and, in the case of Europe, the euro currency depreciation.

Commodity prices weakened in 2015. After an increase in the spring from their January lows, oil prices declined sharply, reflecting a combination of weaker global demand and steady supply growth, and increased again following the nuclear deal with Iran.

Metal prices also fell 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 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 half of the year was offset by a simultaneous slow-down of demand in growth geographies, especially in China. Steel and other metals prices were stable at a historically low level, while oil and plastics stabilized at a higher level. Given the economic circumstances it was remarkable that packaging market prices increased in 2013.

Rare earth element pricessteel continued to slide, and this contributed to higher savings levels in 2013. Contingency measures were put 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 market have fueled demand for xenon, which is used as a filler gas in these lamps. Since global production did not increase, this led to tight supply 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 remained a constant concern, though acute shortages did not occur. Technical measures were 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.fall.

5.2.7 Philips’2.2.7 General Business Principles renewed

OurThe Philips General Business Principles (GBP) incorporate the fundamental principles for all Philips business around the world. They set the minimum standard for how tobusiness conduct business,for both for individual employees and for the company itself. Inand our drivesubsidiaries. Our GBP also stand as a reference for continuous improvement, the GBP were revisedbusiness conduct we expect from our business partners and suppliers. Translations of the text are available in 2014 to help ensure that everyone acts with integrity, and also to better reflect the changing business landscape in which we operate.

For a description of GBP processes and policies, please refer to section 7.1, Our approach to risk management and business control, of this report.

The General Business Principles have been rewritten, but without deviating from the fundamental principles for doing business which are firmly rooted in Philips’ heritage. Without making substantial changes to these standards, the GBP have been turned into a document that is easy to read and understand for everyone. They have been translated into 32 languages, allowing almost every employee to read themthe 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 of these can be found atwww.philips.com/gbp.

As part of our unyielding effort to raise GBP awareness and create engagement throughout the organization on the different 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 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.

The GBP form an integral part of labor contracts in virtually every country in which Philips operates. It is the responsibility of each employee to live up to our GBP, and employees are requested to affirm their commitment after having completed their GBP

Following the updating of on the General Business Principles to confirm a new e-learning was launched in October. In this mandatory online training course employees are informed aboutrenewed commitment to awareness of and compliance with the contentsrespective codes each year.

The GBP Review Committee is responsible for the effective deployment of the GBP and for generally promoting a culture of compliance and ethics within Philips. The GBP Review Committee is a body chaired by the wayChief 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 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 applies them. This course,operates.

The GBP are supported by established mechanisms that ensure standardized reporting and escalation of concerns. These mechanisms are based on the GBP Reporting Policy that urges employees to report any concerns they may have regarding business conduct in which every employee with an e-mail account has been invitedrelation to participate, is available in 21 languages and is taken by every new hire joining the company.

5.2.9 Social Investment Programs

2014 was a transition year for Philips’ social investment program. With the creation of the Philips Foundation, a new global strategy was rolled out, focusing on disaster relief, local community investment and social entrepreneurship. The Philips Foundation is responsible for the overall strategy and global non-profit partnerships. Philips’ country organizations, while aligning with the global strategy, have the ability to drive regional programs that fit the specific needs of local communities.

For example, in 2014, Philips Brazil rolled out the program “Light Up Your Game” across 10 countries in Latin America. Working together with non-profit organizations such as the KNVB and IDEAAS, they were able to install over 27 solar and semi-solar Community Light Centers, which provide safe and functional space for sports and other community activities after dark.

In North America, thePhilips 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, or providing safety and energy-efficient home improvements for the disadvantaged, to raising awareness about the importance of cardiac health. In 2014 alone, more than 5,000 employee volunteers participated in community outreach projects that suited their needs, schedules, and passions through partnerships with organizations such as the American Heart Association, Rebuilding Together, and the National 4-H Council.

In 2015 and beyond, all programs run by Philips country organizations on social investments will come under the umbrella of the Philips Foundation.

5.2.102.2.9 Supplier sustainability

ManyRoyal 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 chain.

Supplier sustainability strategy

Managing our products arelarge and complex supply chain in a socially and environmentally responsible way requires a structured and innovative approach while being createdtransparent and manufactured in close cooperationengaging with a wide rangevariety of business partners, bothstakeholders. 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 suppliers defined 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 acts as a catalyst and supports our suppliers in their pursuit of continuous improvement in 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 take a leading role, together with peers in the industry, in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and encourage our strategic suppliers to join the EICC too. In 2014, Philips initiated a new EICC taskforce on process chemicals in the supply chain. 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.

two core Supplier Sustainability Involvement Program

The Philips Supplierpolicy documents (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 ourDeclaration (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 Supplier Sustainability Declaration, which we includeaudit program and was piloted in all purchasing contracts. The Declaration is based2016 on a sample 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 EICC codecomplexities of conduct and we have added requirements on Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining. The topics covered in the minerals supply chains through continuous due diligence process combined with multi-stakeholder initiatives to responsible sourcing.

2014 supplier auditsour suppliers’ sites in risk countries

In 2014, Philips conducted 203 full-scope audits. Additionally, 35 audits of potential suppliers were performed. Potential suppliers are audited as part of the supplier approval process, and they needChina. Furthermore, we want 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 programsincreasing supply chain transparency in terms of environmental footprint and to realize structural improvements leading to better audit results.

LOGO

As in previous years,drive responsible use of resources through our supply chain. An example is the majoritycollaboration of Philips with a Chinese NGO, the audits in 2014 were done in China. The total numberInstitute of full-scope audits carried out since we started the program in 2005 is 2,365. This number includes repeated audits (129 in 2014), 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, i.e. the percentage of risk suppliers that were audited within the last three years and do not have any – or have resolved all – major non-compliances. During 2014 we achieved a compliance rate of 86% (2013: 77%).

Please refer tosub-section 14.2.8, 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of this report for the detailed findings of 2014.

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 2014 we continued our focus on capacity-building initiatives which are offered to help suppliers improve their practices. Our supplier sustainability experts in China organized training, 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, chemicals management, dust explosion and prevention, and fire safety.

We also teamed up with peers in the industry and civil society organizations to work on capacity building at Chinese factories via theIDH Electronics Program, an 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. Three years ago the program was kicked-off in China’s Pearl River Delta, and has now expanded to

also cover supplier factories in the Yangtze River Delta area. A total of 21 Philips suppliers are now participating in the program.

5.2.11 Conflict minerals: issues further down the chain

In line with Philips’ commitment to supply-chain sustainability, we are concerned about the situation in eastern DRC (the Democratic Republic of the Congo), where proceeds from the mining sector are used to finance rebel conflicts in the region. Philips does not directly source minerals from the DRC and the mines are typically seven or more tiers away from our direct suppliers. Philips nevertheless feels obliged to address this issue through the means and influencing mechanisms available to us.

We were one of the first companies to survey our suppliers to identify smelters used in the supply chain that produce the metals of concern, and one of the four companies to have our SEC Conflict Minerals report audited in 2014. We are cooperating with industry to drive the identified smelters to become compliant with the Conflict-Free Smelter Program or an equivalent third-party audit program. We also realize how important it is not to boycott the minerals from the DRC and neighboring countries entirely. That is why we are supporting verified conflict-free supply chains that contribute to economic development in the DRC region.

EcoVision2.3 Environmental performance

Philips has a long sustainability history stretching all the way back to our founding fathers. In 1994, we launched our first program and set sustainability targets for our own operations. Next, we launched our first EcoVisionsecond program in 1998, which focused on the environmental dimension of our operations and products. We also started to focus on sustainability in our supply chain in 2003. We extended our scope further in 2010 by including the social dimension of products and solutions, which is now reflected in our company vision:

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.

In 2016, our CEO Frans van Houten launched our new Royal Philips five-year sustainability program, ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’, addressing both social and environmental challenges and including associated targets to be achieved by 2020.

The three pillars of the ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program are:

Creating value for our customers throughSustainable Solutions

Increasing investments in digital lighting solutions and connectivity have led to further improvements in the area of energy efficiency. In 2014,2016, Philip Lighting pilotedteamed up with the Dubai Municipality to create the Dubai Lamp Initiative, a breakthrough connected lighting system for offices, featuring Power-over-Ethernet (PoE-enabled) luminaires. By offering employees personal controlunique research partnership that resulted in the development of the world’s most energy-efficient commercially available LED lamp. By replacing conventional lamps with the Dubai Lamp – the first commercially available 200 lumen per watt LED lamp – households and enterprises can reduce electricity used for lighting above their desks, the system delivers appropriate task lighting levels while keeping general lighting levels lower, enhancing both worker efficiencyby more than 90% compared to incandescent technologies. In addition to raising light and energy efficiency. The connected lighting system integratesefficiency to new levels, the Dubai Lamp is extremely durable with other building systems such as heating, ventilation, and IT services to realize significant energy savings — not only on lighting, but also on HVAC and other services, which together account foran average lifespan of up to 70%15 times that of a building’s energy usage.

Beyond significant energy efficiency benefits, the connected lighting system supports the transition to a more circular economy.

While a product can becomebe classified as green by incorporatingbecause it incorporates an environmentally friendly technology, such technology cannot necessarilyalways be protected in a patent because of a lack of patentability over thestate-of-the-art technology. Therefore, there is not allnecessarily a correlation between green patents and Green Technologies implemented in our Green Products can be captured in patents.

Energy efficiency of productsand Solutions.

Energy efficiency is a key Green Focal Area for our Green Products. According to our analysis, about 97% of the energy consumed during the use phase of our products is attributable to Lighting products. 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 efficiency of our total product portfolio increased slightly in 2014 to 40.5 lumen per watt (but improved 21% compared to 2009, the baseline year). The exclusion of Lumileds and Automotive has a limited upward effect on the energy efficiency of the portfolio.

In 2014 LED sales advanced 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 2014 was limited. We expect the energy efficiency to improve in the coming years as the traditional incandescent lamp is banned in more countries. Our target for 2015 is a 50% improvement compared to the 2009 baseline. In this target setting, assumptions were made about the speed of the

regulatory developments in this area, which fell short of expectations. Therefore, in 2015 the target of 50% improvement will not yet be achieved. Further details on this parameter and the methodology can be found in the document ‘Energy efficiency of Philips products’ atwww.philips.com/sustainability.

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. It is a driver of innovation in the areas of material, component and productre-use, as well as new business models such as system solutions and services. In a circular economy, more effective (re)use of materials enables the creation of more value, both by means of cost savings and by developing new markets or growing existing ones. The ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program includes a target to generate 15% of our revenues in 2020 from Circular Products and Solutions.

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 2012,2015 compared to our 2007 base year we continued our energy efficiency improvement programs across different disciplines. In 2014to decrease our carbon footprint decreased byemissions in 2016. We achieved a 5% carbon reduction compared to 2013,2015, resulting in a total of 1,3751,344 kilotonnes CO2. emission. This wasreduction is mainly achieveddriven by emissions reductionsincreasing our renewable electricity share globally from 56% in 2015 to 62% in 2016. This led to a 17% carbon reduction in our manufacturing facilities,industrial sites. As of December 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 operational changes andour lease cars decreased energy usage due to lower load with an increased share coming from renewable sources (some 55% in 2014)by 4%, and less transport activities. These reductions were, however, partlyslightly offset by increasedan increase in carbon emissions from our non- industrial activities, the floor space ofrental cars usage (+6%). In order to further decrease our global non- industrial property portfolio increased by 2%. Businessbusiness travel emissions remained stable compared to 2013, however we have noted a decrease in emissions from lease cars due to our successful Green Lease car program, whilst air travel increased over the course of 2014. Wewill continue to promote video conferencing as an alternative to travel.travel in 2017.

Within our logistics operations we have seen no significant changes in the overall carbon emissions compared to the previous year. Our air freight emissions went up 6% over the course of 2016 to meet demand in our HealthTech businesses, partially caused by distress at one of our larger ocean freight carriers. This was offset by significant reductions within Lighting due to a stricter air freight policy and a Royal Philips program to increase the loading degree of our containers for ocean freight.

Total water intake in 20142016 was 3.12.4 million m3,m3, about 6%11% lower than in 2013.2015. This decrease was mainly due to operational changes, lower production volumes at multiple Lighting sites as well as a significant reductionwhere water is used for cooling purposes, and water-saving actions at a Consumer Lifestyle site in China which implemented various water savings actions. This was partly offset by one Healthcare site that cooled magnets with water instead of helium. Many Philips sites have water savings programs.sites.

Lighting represents around 66%60% of total water usage. In this sector,At Lighting, water is used in manufacturing as well as for domestic purpose. The other sectors usepurposes. In Royal Philips, water is mainly used for domestic purposes. The exclusion of Lumileds and Automotive has a significant downward impact on the water consumption of Philips. In 2014,2016, Lumileds and Automotive accounted for 1.7 million m3 of water.

Emissions

In the ‘Healthy people, sustainable planet’ program, Royal Philips included new reduction targets for the substances that are most relevant for its businesses. In order to provide comparable information at Group level, please find the summary of the emissions of the formerly targeted substances below. Emissions of restricted substances totaled 9reduced from 26 kilos in 2014, on par with 2013, as our2015 to 7 kilos in 2016, mainly caused by one site in China which phased out a thinner containing benzene. For the fourth year in a row, mercury emissions at Lighting were for the second year in a row as low as reasonably achievable, according to our assessment. The level of emissions of hazardous substances decreased from 35,11825,101 kilos to 28,31012,412 kilos (-19%in 2016(-51%), mainly driven by a reduction of Xylene emissions at various Consumer Lifestyle sites, due to a decreasechanges in use of specific lacquersthe lacquering process and thinners.

5.42.4 Proposed distribution to shareholders

Pursuant to article 34 of the articles of association of Royal Philips, a dividend will first be declared on preference shares out of net income. The remainder of the net income, after reservations made with the approval of the Supervisory Board, shall be available for distribution to holders of common shares subject to shareholder approval afteryear-end. As of December 31, 2014,2016, the issued share capital consists only of common shares; no preference shares have been issued. Article 33 of the articles of association of Royal Philips gives the Board of Management the power to determine what portion of the net income shall be retained by way of reserve, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board.

A proposal will be submitted to the 2015upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to declare a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share (up to EUR 735745 million), in cash or in shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income for 20142016.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be tradedex-dividend as of May 12, 2017 and retained earnings.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 13, 201517, 2017 and June 5, 2015.9, 2017. If no choice is made during this election period the dividend will be paid in shares.cash. On June 5, 20159, 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 price of all traded common shares Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on June 3,47, 8 and 5, 2015.9, 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. On June 9, 2015 theThe ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced.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 10, 2015.14, 2017. The distribution of dividend in cash to holders of New York Registry shares will be made in USD at the USD/EUR rate fixed byas per WM/ Reuters FX Benchmark 2 PM CET fixing of June 12, 2017.

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).

In 2014,2016, a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share was paid in cash or shares, at the option of the shareholder. For 60%55.0% of the shares, the shareholders elected for a share dividend resulting in the issue of 18,811,53417,344,462 new common shares, leading to a 2.1% percent1.9% dilution. EUR 292330 million was paid in cash. For additional information, see See alsochapter 17,14, Investor Relations, of this report.

The balance sheet presented in this report, as part of the Company financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014,2016, is before appropriation of the result for the financial year 2014.

5.5 Outlook

Overall, 2014 was a setback in our performance trajectory. We have been taking clear actions to drive stronger operational performance across our businesses and expect sales growth and Adjusted IFO margin improvements in 2015 and beyond. However, looking ahead, we remain cautious regarding the macroeconomic outlook and expect ongoing volatility of some of our end-markets. We also anticipate further restructuring and separation costs in 2015 and 2016.

Due to these factors, we are tracking 1 percentage point behind on the path to achieving each of our 2016 comparable sales growth, Adjusted IFO and ROIC Group targets. We are convinced that this does not change our longer-term performance potential, considering the attractiveness of the Lighting Solutions and HealthTech markets and our competitive position. Later this year, as we progress with the separation of Philips and reallocation of IG&S, we will update the market about the integral performance targets for each of the two operating companies.

5.62.5 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 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 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 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 outflow will take place can be measured reliably. If the likelihood of the outcome is less than probable and more than remote or a reliable estimate is not determinable, the matter is disclosed as a contingent liability if management concludes that it is material.

In determining the provision for losses associated withthe environmental remediation obligations, significant 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. Before a provision is established, the Company recognized any impairment loss on the assets associated with the restructuring.

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

Impairment ofnon-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

Group performance 5.6

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 additional impairment test at year-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.

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 20142016 to 2018 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.

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. IncomeAdjusted income from operations1) in all units is expected to increase over the projection period as a result of volume growth and cost efficiencies. Please refer tonote 11, Goodwill.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. 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. 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

Health 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.

 

 

LOGOLOGO

Our structure in 20142016

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 2014, Philips’ activities in the field of health and well-being were organized on a sector basis, with each operating sector – Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting – being responsible for the management of its businesses worldwide.

The Innovation, Group & Services sector includes the activities of Group Innovation and Group and regional management organizations. Additionally, the global shared business services for procurement, finance, human resources, IT and real estate are reported in this sector, as well as certain pension costs.

At the end of 2014, Philips had 93 production sites in 25 countries, sales and service outlets in approximately 100 countries, and 113,678 employees.

2015 and beyond

In September 2014, Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities.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.

To achieve this transformation, fromIn light of its focus on health technology, effective January 1, 2015,2016, Philips started to integrateeliminated the sectorsformer Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle sector layers in order to drive the convergence of consumer health and Healthcare into one operating company focused on our HealthTech businesses.professional healthcare, as well as to reduce overhead costs, and changed the reporting of its health technology activities. At the same time, Philips is taking the next step in the implementation of its new operating model which will give the company a dedicated, focused and lean management structure, as a result of the planned integration of the relevant sector and group layers.

Philips also started the process to carve out its Lighting business into a separate legal structure and will consider various options for ownership structures with direct access to capital markets.

6.1.1 Health care landscape

Health care 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 health care industry to enable the provision of affordable, quality care to everyone who needs it. There is a shift in emphasis from volume to value, and from a singular focus on clinical outcomes to a more holistic approach to population health. Greater attention is also being paid to the benefits of healthy living and home care as a way to lessen the burden on health systems.

Increasingly, providers and patients see the need for patients to take a more active role in managing their health – giving rise to the health consumer. Mobile and digital technologies will be significant enablers of this trend, leading to new care delivery models that give patients more control and responsibility for their healthcare, and offer providers more solutions for improving access and outcomes while managing costs.

Sales at Healthcare are generally higher in the second half of the year largely due to the timing of new product availability and customer spending patterns.

Regulatory requirements

Philips Healthcare is subject to extensive regulation. We are committed to compliance with regulatory product approval and quality system requirements in every market we serve, by addressing specific terms and conditions of local and national regulatory authorities, including the US FDA, the SFDA in China, and other comparable foreign agencies. Obtaining regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming, but a prerequisite for market introduction.

Progress was made in 2014 in the remediation of the quality management system at our Healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio. Following external certification of the updated quality management system we resumed production, which had been voluntarily suspended earlier in the year, with production ramp-up expected to continue through 2015.

capabilities, we focused on creating value across our businesses and markets through collaborative innovation, including:

Large-scale partnerships – We entered into a number of strategic, multi-year agreements that address government and health system goals of improving population health and delivering quality care more effectively. These included a 15-year contract with Reinier de Graaf Hospital in the Netherlands, a 14-year contract with Karolinska University Hospital and the Stockholm County Council in Sweden, and a 10-year contract related to the 700-bed Philippine Orthopedic Centre in the Philippines.

Co-created solutions – We collaborated on smart solutions co-created in the clinical environment, such as working with the University of Washington on advancements in diagnostics and informatics to improve outcomes, drive operational efficiency and reduce costs per patient.

Strategic alliances – We formed key partnerships to help drive healthcare transformation, including an alliance with Salesforce.com to deliver an open, cloud-based healthcare platform that will enable collaborative care management between patients and healthcare professionals.

We also introduced locally relevant solutions for making quality care accessible to wider patient populations in markets such as India and Africa. These innovations included VISIQ, an ultra-mobile, tablet-based system for ultrasound imaging, and Efficia DFM100, an integrated defibrillator and monitor solution.

We are proud that customers named Philips Healthcare as the overall Best in KLAS Imaging Equipment Company in 2014 for the second year in a row.

In 2014, we entered the fourth year of our Accelerate! journey, which continued to drive improvements in operational performance, as we focused on strengthening our innovation pipeline while making progress on cost savings.

In December 2014 Philips entered into an agreement to acquire Volcano Corporation, a global leader in catheter-based imaging and measurement solutions for cardiovascular applications. Volcano’s complementary portfolio and expertise will create opportunities to accelerate revenue growth for our image-guided therapy business.

Excluding a 2% negative currency effect, comparable sales decreased by 2%. Customer Services achieved mid-single-digit growthapproximately 100 countries, and Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions posted low-single-digit growth, while HealthCare Informatics, Services & Solutions sales were in line with 2013. Imaging Systems recorded a double-digit decline. Green Product sales amounted to EUR 3,508 million, or 38% of sector sales.

Geographically, comparable sales in growth geographies showed a low-single-digit decline, with strong growth in Latin America and Middle East & Turkey offset by a double-digit decline in China. In mature geographies, comparable sales also showed a low-single-digit decline. The year-on-year sales decrease was largely attributable to North America and Western Europe, as sales in other mature geographies showed a low-single-digit increase, led mainly by Japan.

Adjusted IFO decreased from EUR 1,512 million, or 15.8% of sales, in 2013 to EUR 616 million, or 6.7% of sales, in 2014. Restructuring and acquisition-related charges amounted to EUR 70 million in 2014, while in 2013 they were close to zero. 2014 Adjusted IFO included charges of EUR 366 million related to the jury verdict in the Masimo litigation, EUR 49 million of mainly inventory write-downs related to the Cleveland facility, and a EUR 16 million past-service pension cost gain in the Netherlands.

In 2014, the voluntary suspension of production at our Cleveland facility and the jury verdict in the Masimo litigation strongly impacted our 2014 performance. At 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,105,223 employees.

temporary suspension of new production at the facility, primarily to strengthen manufacturing process controls. The suspension negatively impacted Healthcare’s sales and Adjusted IFO in 2014.

On October 3, 2014 Philips announced that it would appeal the jury verdict in the patent infringement lawsuit by Masimo Corporation (Masimo), in which Masimo was awarded compensation of USD 467 million (EUR 366 million). The jury verdict is part of extensive litigation, which started in 2009, between Masimo and Philips involving several claims and counterclaims related to a large number of patents.

Adjusted IFO in 2013 also included EUR 61 million from a past-service pension gain and a EUR 21 million gain on the sale of a business excluding these items. The decrease in Adjusted IFO was mainly driven by operational losses related to the voluntary suspension of production at the Cleveland facility and negative currency impacts.

IFO amounted to EUR 456 million, or 5.0% of sales, and included EUR 159 million of charges related to intangible assets.

Net operating capital increased by EUR 128 million to EUR 7,565 million. Higher provisions and lower fixed assets were offset by currency impacts.

Cash flows before financing activities decreased from EUR 1,292 million in 2013 to EUR 910 million in 2014, largely due to lower earnings.

6.1.5 Delivering on EcoVision sustainability commitments

The increasing population and rising levels of human development worldwide pose a number of challenges, such as scarcity of natural resources, pollution, and stressed health care systems. Philips Healthcare continues to help increase the number of lives improved annually around the globe by developing solutions that improve access to care, while at the same time respecting the boundaries of natural resources.

In 2014, Green Product sales in Healthcare amounted to EUR 3.5 billion and we introduced seven new Green Products to support energy efficiency, materials reduction and other sustainability goals. We are also actively collaborating with care providers to look for innovative ways to reduce the environmental impact of health care, for example by improving the energy efficiency of medical equipment. Another example is the launch of a new imaging systems refurbishment facility in Best, the Netherlands, in support of the transition to a circular economy in Healthcare.

Philips was presented with the 2014 “Champion for Change” Award by Practice Greenhealth. The award honors businesses who have not only taken steps to improve their organization’s green practices, but have also gone the extra mile to help their clients and associates expand their sustainable practices as well.

6.1.6 2015 and beyond

In September 2014 Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand- alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities. To achieve this transformation, from January 1, 2015, Philips started to integrate the sectors Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle into one operating company focused on our HealthTech businesses.

In the HealthTech space, Royal Philips will focus on the vast market opportunities created by the convergence of professional healthcare and consumer end-markets across the health continuum, from healthy living and prevention to diagnosis, treatment, recovery and home care.

Building on combined clinical and consumer capabilities, we will focus on solutions aimed at empowering consumers and patients to take greater control of their own health, enabling payers and providers to improve outcomes while managing overall cost, and helping governments increase access to high-quality, affordable care.

From an external financial reporting perspective, it should be noted that the planned organizational changes will require Philips to transition to a new reporting structure in the course of 2015. At that stage, and in view of applicable IFRS requirements, Philips will report and discuss its financial performance on the basis of different reportable segments than the sectors currently presented and discussed in this Annual Report.

Further updates will be provided in the course of 2015.

Innovatingon the ward

A unique partnership with a hospital in China has yielded astonishing results in the field of diagnostics, in a country with rising health problems, where many specialists are unable to cope with increased workloads.

The huge West China Hospital in the country’s fourth largest city, Chengdu, plays host to a ground-breaking collaboration between doctors and engineers from Philips. China accounts for half of all new cases of liver cancer in Asia, but old cancer diagnostic technologies involved complex and time-consuming invasive procedures that presented risk to the patient and meant their recovery times were lengthened.

The Philips ElastPQ is a non-invasive machine using state-of-the-art ultrasound technology. It provides medics with valuable data that can be used to accurately diagnose liver cancer – both at a fraction of the cost and at greater speed. However, it’s not simply the innovation – the presence of Philips engineers on site facilitates ongoing research and development in a hospital setting. This continuous innovation is an inspiring medical partnership where doctors and engineers join forces to match technology with actual clinical need. It’s leading to faster and more accurate cancer diagnosis – with all the obvious benefits that entails for patients.

Fried food is somewhat of a tradition in Saudi Arabia, as it is in many countries. It has become so popular that almost a quarter of students eschew a healthy diet and are now classified as obese.

In addition, almost three quarters of over-40s in the country are overweight, which puts enormous strain on the medical system.

LOGO

Dental assistant Mai Matbouli had to change her lifestyle because she was overweight and this was impacting on her health and ability to walk. So, as part of a unique experiment, Saudi medical professionals gave her a Philips Airfryer, along with other patients suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes, to see if using the Philips Airfryer could help her lose weight.

The Airfryer uses innovative Rapid Air Technology so that up to 80% less fat is used to cook dishes like French fries* – but with remarkably similar results. Nutritious recipes, inspired by a clever and meaningful kitchen tool such as the Airfryer, can transform the health of both kitchen novices and those who think of themselves as culinary experts.

Previously he was CEO of Philips Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Services, overseeing digital health and clinical informatics, and Group Chief Information Officer (CIO), leading IT worldwide. In February 2017, Jeroen Tas was appointed as Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer and succeeded by Carla Kriwet who joined the Executive Committee as Chief Business Leader of Connected Care & Health Informatics. Carla Kriwet is also the BG Leader of Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions and previously was the Philips Market Leader of Germany, Austria & Switzerland.

3.3.1 About Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses

Spanning the entire health continuum, the Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses aim to empower consumers, care givers and clinicians with digital solutions that facilitate value-based care by enabling precision medicine and population health management, building on Philips’ strengths in consumer technology, patient monitoring and clinical informatics.

This requires a common digital framework that connects and aligns consumers, patients, payers and healthcare providers. A framework that aggregates and leverages information from clinical, personal and historic data, using analytics to support care providers in first-time-right diagnosis and treatment, and helps identify the risk and needs of different groups within a population.

To this end we have developed Philips HealthSuite – a cloud-based connected health ecosystem of devices, apps and digital tools. Applying analytics and algorithms, we can use data to deliver predictive, personalized insights, for example to help motivate healthy behavior through digital coaching, to support healthcare professionals in making clinical decisions, or to alert medical teams to potential problems, e.g. with elderly patients living independently at home.

In 2016, the Connected Care & Health Informatics segment consisted of the following areas of business:

Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions: Enterprise- wide patient monitoring solutions, from value solutions to sophisticated connected solutions, for real-time clinical information at the patient’s bedside; patient analytics, patient monitoring and clinical decision support systems including diagnostic ECG data management for improved quality of cardiac care; therapeutic care, including cardiac resuscitation, emergency care solutions, invasive andnon-invasive ventilators for acute andsub-acute hospital environments, and respiratory monitoring devices; consumables across the patient monitoring and therapeutic care businesses; and customer service, including clinical, IT, technical, and remote customer propositions.

Healthcare Informatics, Solutions & Servicescomprises advanced healthcare IT, clinical and advanced visualization and quantification informatics solutions for radiology, cardiology, oncology and neurology departments. It also offers Universal Data Management solutions, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and fully integrated Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems to support healthcare enterprises in optimizing health system performance. The business group also includes a professional services business (Healthcare Transformation Services) spanning consulting, education, clinical and business performance improvement, program management and system integration services, as well as the Philips HealthSuite digital platform. This platform enables interoperability, data security, big data and predictive analytics, optimized workflows and care pathways, rapid application development, enhanced patient centricity and engagement for the solutions part of the Philips HealthSuite connected health ecosystem.

Population Health Management: Our services and solutions leverage our data, analytics and actionable workflow products, and include: personal health programs(app-based with medical grade measurement devices and coaching) to help people manage their health; technology-enabled monitoring and intervention (telehealth, remote patient monitoring, personal emergency response systems, and care coordination) to improve aging and chronic condition experiences; actionable programs to predict risk (including medication and care compliance, outreach, and fall prediction); and cloud-based solutions for health organizations to manage population health, driving quality improvement and business transformation for those transitioning to value-based care.

Segment performance 3.3.1

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 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 various regulations and 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.

In 2014, Philips Lighting invested EUR 255 million in Green Innovation, compared to EUR 223 million in 2013 (excluding Lumileds and Automotive at EUR 105 million and EUR 104 million respectively). Investments continue to be made in energy-saving technologies such as LED and connected lighting systems and services. In January, Philips announced the introduction of the new InstantFit LED T8, which reduces costs for facility managers replacing fluorescent tube lighting with energy-efficient LED technology, known as LED tube lamps (TLEDs). TLEDs use up to 40% less energy compared to linear fluorescent tube lighting and require less maintenance due to their long lifetime. If current fluorescent lighting was replaced by TLED lamps globally the energy saving potential would be equivalent to the output of 210 medium-sized power plants.

The energy efficiency of the total product portfolio increased slightly from 40.1 lumens per watt in 2013 to 40.5 lumens per watt in 2014 due to a volume shift in the portfolio. Within the framework of the Green Operations 2015 program, Philips Lighting has reduced its carbon footprint in manufacturing (scope 1 and 2 emissions) by approximately 40% since the baseline year of 2007. In 2014, 81% of our total industrial waste was re-used as a result of recycling.

6.3.6 2015 and beyond

In September 2014 Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the3.4.1 About HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities. To achieve this transformation, Philips started the process to carve out its Lighting business into a separate legal structure and will consider various options for ownership structures with direct access to capital markets.

As a stand-alone company, the Lighting Solutions business will be better positioned to capture the value which is shifting from individual products to connected LED lighting systems and services.

Philips is also in discussion with external investors for the combined Lumileds and Automotive Lighting businesses and expects to complete a transaction in the first half of 2015. Therefore, the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of income and cash flows.

From an external financial reporting perspective, it should be noted that the planned organizational changes will require Philips to transition to a new reporting structure during the course of 2015. At that stage, and in view of applicable IFRS requirements, Philips will report and discuss its financial performance on the basis of different reportable segments than the sectors currently presented and discussed in this Annual Report.

Further updates will be provided in the course of 2015.

Putting a bridgeback on the map

The port city of Corpus Christi, Texas, has always been dominated by its magnificent bridge across the bay. But as times got tougher, the lights on the bridge went out and a nocturnal landmark disappeared.

Happily it’s now back – and, with the help of thousands of energy-saving and environmentally-friendly LEDs, it’s infinitely more striking than ever before. An exciting new project to re-illuminate the structure, in which the city authorities worked in partnership with Philips, gave the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge a makeover by treating it as a living work of art.

They didn’t just demonstrate how LED lighting in cities can transform a space – they created a vibrant attraction that allowed this industrial design jewel to show itself in a new, 21st century guise. Multi-colored strip lights now pick out the contours of the bridge in a beautiful, ever-changing, ultra-modern display that has become a tourist attraction in its own right and revitalized the area.

“Philips had a very innovative design department. They’ve been here every day to help us through the process,” says Terry Orf, Senior Architect at Naismith Engineers.

Because the locals love the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge so much, it has even boosted the fortunes of one local photographer, who now uses the bridge as a dramatic outdoor studio.

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.

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.

During Climate Week NYC, Eric Rondolat launched Philips Lighting’s new sustainability program ‘Brighter Lives, Better World’, building on the long legacy of environmental provisions.Philips’ EcoVision programs. The new program is built on two pillars: Green Revenues and Sustainable operations. With 78% of 2016 sales coming from sustainable products, systems and services (72% in 2015), Green Revenues reached a record level for Philips Lighting.

Through its digital LED technology, Philips Lighting offers light that is up to 80% more energy-efficient than conventional technologies, which are still commonly used globally. For this reason, the company has pledged to cumulatively sell 2 billion LED light bulbs by 2020, for which it has already sold 628 million units thus far. In addition, Philips Lighting effectively reduced its operational carbon footprintyear-on-year by 20%, also increasing the share of renewable electricity to 67%.

In September 2014, Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities.

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 establishmentSeparation Agreement allocated assets, liabilities, employees and contracts of the two stand-alone companies will also involvePhilips Group between the splitcurrent groups of Philips and allocationPhilips 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 currentformer Innovation, Group & Services sectorsector. 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.

864 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.

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 andnon-controlling interests) and net debt is presented to express the financial strength of the Company. This measure is used by Treasury management of the Company and investment analysts and is therefore included in the disclosure.

75 Risk management

7.1 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 7.2,5.2, 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 7.2,5.2, Risk categories and factors, of this report.

Risk Management Framework

Risk management and controlscontrol 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 Business 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 11,9, 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

statements, of this report, views from key stakeholders, external analysis, and risks reported in the annual certification statement on Risk Management and Business Controls.

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 has designed its BCF based on the “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 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 material 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 business 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 businessBusiness 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

Philips General Business Principles

The Philips General Business Principles (GBP) set the standard for our core behavior – ‘Acting with integrity’ – and they apply to the behavior of individual employees as well as to corporate actions. They incorporate the fundamental principles adopted withinfor all Philips businesses around the globe. They set the minimum standard for conducting business. The GBP have been revised in 2014 to make the GBP more accessible to Philipsbusiness conduct, both for individual employees and to reflect certain changes infor the company and our subsidiaries. Our GBP also stand as a reference for the business environment.

It is the responsibility of eachtext are available in 32 languages, allowing almost every employee to live up to our GBP. In addition,read the management of each business unit signs off on compliance with the GBP with this confirmation forming part of the annual Statement on Business Controls.

As part of the Philips Business Control Framework, a GBP self-assessment process is fully embedded in an automated workflow application (ICS), which helps management to monitor the internal controls. With the GBP self-assessment forming part of ICS, GBP compliance necessarily forms part of management’s quarterly ICS/SOx (Sarbanes-Oxley) monitoring process. Non-compliance issues are highlighted and, if significant, they are reported to the Board of Management/Executive Committee through the Quarterly Certification Statement process.

Managers are viewed as the principal point of contact in cases where employees wish to raise a concern. To further facilitate this process, the GBP include a reporting policy, standardized complaint reporting and a formal escalation procedure. The Philips Ethics Line platform enables employees to file a complaint by telephone in their native language. Additionally, concerns can now also be raised using an online reporting form, a facility that is available as part of the Philips Ethics Line. Every country organizationDetailed underlying policies, manuals, training and all main production sitestools are supported by a GBP Compliance Officer. This network of Compliance Officers is supervised by the General Business Principles Review Committee. Alleged violations ofin place to give employees practical guidance on how to apply the GBP which are either filed directly through the Philips Ethics Line or raised through a GBP Compliance Officer, are registered consistently in a single database and are investigated in accordance with standardized investigation procedures.theirday-to-day work environments.

Since 2013 it has become mandatory for all executives to sign off on the General Business Principles. To drive the practical deployment of the General Business Principles, more detailed underlying policies have been developed. Where necessary, these policies can be adapted to reflect ongoing (regulatory) developments, both internal and external. 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 atat: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 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 Integrity means to them, and posted pictures of their sessions on the Philips social platform using the hashtag #integritymatters.

and employees are requested to affirm their commitment after completing their GBPe-training. In addition, employees in the respective specialized areas must sign off on the Financial and the ProcurementSupply Management Codes of EthicsEthics. Executives are requested to sign off on the GBP each year to confirm that they are awarereaffirm their awareness of and will complycompliance with them.

The GBP Review Committee is responsible for the effective deployment of the GBP and for generally promoting a culture 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 markets, 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 within Philips, the mandatory annual GBP self-assessment questionnaire, part of our Internal Control framework, was completely renewed. 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 respective codes.requisite skills and support to monitor and enhance compliance in the increasingly regulated environments in which Philips operates.

The GBP are supported by established mechanisms that ensure standardized reporting and escalation of concerns. These mechanisms are based on the GBP Reporting Policy that urges employees to report any concerns they may have regarding business conduct in relation to the GBP, either 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 in a variety of different languages 24/7 all year round. All concerns raised are registered consistently in a single database hosted outside Philips by a third party and are investigated systematically in accordance with standardized investigation procedures.

Financial Code of Ethics

The Company recognizes that its businesses have responsibilities within the communities in which they operate. The Company has a Financial Code of Ethics which applies to the CEO (the principal executive officer) and CFO (the principal financial and principal accounting officer), and to the heads ofsenior management in the Group Control, Group Treasury, Group Fiscal and Group Internal AuditPhilips Finance Leadership Team who head the Finance departments of the Company. The Company has published its Financial Code of Ethics within the investor section of its website located at www.philips.com.www.philips.com. No changes were considered necessary and no changes have been made to the Financial Code of Ethics since its adoption and no waivers have been granted therefrom to the officers mentioned above in 2014.2016.

7.25.2 Risk categories and factors

LOGO

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 Business, 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 Business, 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.

The challenging global political and product creation, and supply chain management).

Philips doesthese developments has not classify thesechanged compared to 2015, we continuously monitor the impact on our risk categories in order of importance. Separation risk is covered in section 7.7, Separation risk, of this report.profile.

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.

7.35.3 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 markets. Philips experienced the impact from changes in macro economicmacro-economic development in various geographies during 2014 in particular2016. Economic growth in China where customer demand was negativelymarkedly 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 lowest levelslowdown 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 been dramatically reduced.

The monetary easing policy in Japan did notconsensus economic outlook for Great Britain as well as for the European Union has become less favorable as a result in the targeted economic growth.

new US administration may have significant impact on international trade tariffs and customs laws. The very disparate macroeconomic outlook for the main geographies, political conflicts and the unknown potential impact of new initiatives in Eurozone monetary policy continuescontinue to providecreate uncertainty onas to the levels of (public) capital expenditures in general, unemployment levels and consumer and business confidence, which could adversely affect demand for products and services offered by Philips. These economic conditions may have an adverse effect on financial markets, which could affect the ability of Philips to make strategic divestments at reasonable price levels or within a reasonable period of time.

GeneralThe general global political developments in 2014 wereenvironment remains unfavorable for the business environment due to increasinga rise in political conflicts and terrorism, e.g. the financial/economic sanctions imposed on Russia and the response from the Russian government.terrorism. Numerous other factors, such as sustained lower levels of energy and raw material prices, as well as globalregional political conflicts in the Middle East, Turkey, Russia and Ukraine and other regions, as well as large-scale (in)voluntary migration and profound social instability could continue to impact macroeconomic factors and the international capital and credit markets. 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. Some of these joint ventures orand associated companies may represent significant investments.investments and potentially also use Philips’ brand. 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 expose Philips to additional financial or other obligations, as well as havehaving a material adverse effect on the value of its investments in those entities or potentially subject Philips to additional claims. 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.

7.45.4 Operational risks

Failure to comply 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 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. Accelerate! spans a time period of several years. In 2014, as a next phase in the Accelerate! transformation program, Philips announced that it would separate its businesses intoplan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two new fit for purposestand- alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions. opportunities respectively. The Lighting business was separated in 2016, with Philips selling a portion of its ownership stake and Philips Lighting becoming listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

Risk management 5.4

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.

Risk of unauthorized use of intellectual property rights

Philips produces and sells products and services which incorporates technology protected by intellectual property rights. Philips develops and acquires intellectual property rights on regular basis. Philips is exposed to the risk that intellectual property rights on technology applied in its products and services is claimed to be owned by third parties, who, in case their claims of infringement of such intellectual property rights are awarded, would be entitled to damages and fines.

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.

bears the risk of unforeseeable fluctuations in prices and demand, 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.

Philips observes 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 potentially vulnerable to attacks, which could potentially lead to the leakage of confidential information, improper use of its systems and networks or defective products, which could in turn materially adversely affect Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, the integration of new companies and successful outsourcing of business processes are highly dependent on secure and well controlled 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.

management. Reputational damage could materially impact Philips’ brand value, financial condition and operating results.

7.55.5 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. 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’ 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 reimbursement policies may affect spending on healthcare.

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 non-compliance with data privacyuncertainty on the timing and product safety laws.

Philips’ brand image and reputation would be adversely impacted by non-compliance with various data protection and product security laws. In lightproceeds of a sale of Philips digital strategy, data privacy lawsLighting

In 2016, Philips separated its Lighting business and on May 27, 2016, Philips Lighting was listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. Since then Philips Lighting operates as a separate listed company. Philips has subsequently sold down part of its ownership in Philips Lighting. Philips’ overall objective is to fully divest its ownership of Philips Lighting. The nature or form, timing and the level of proceeds from this divestment process are increasingly important. Also,uncertain. The timing and level of proceeds will depend on general market conditions and investor appetite for companies of this size and nature. During this process Philips Healthcare is subject to various (patient) data protectionmay lose control over Philips Lighting and safety laws. Indeconsolidate the assets, liabilities and financial results of Philips Healthcare, 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 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 market introduction. 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. E.g. the voluntary, temporary suspension of new production at our Healthcare facility in Cleveland, Ohio targets to further strengthen manufacturing process controls after certain issues in this area were identified during an ongoing FDA inspection.

7.6 Financial risksLighting.

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 operates in approximatelyover 100 countries and its earnings and equity are therefore inevitably exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies against the euro. Philips’ sales are sensitive in particular to movements in the US dollar, Japanese yen and a wide range of other currencies from developed and emerging markets. However, Philips’ sourcing and manufacturing spend is concentrated in the Eurozone, United States and China. Therefore the net (revenues less spend) sensitivity of Income from Operations to US dollar and Chinese renminbi is relatively small. Income from Operationsoperations is sensitive to movements in currencies from countries where the Group has noneno manufacturing/sourcing activities or smallonly has manufacturing/sourcing activityactivities on a small scale such as Japan, Canada, Australia and Great Britain and in a range of emerging markets such as 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.

Philips is exposed to a number of different tax uncertainties, which could result in double taxation, penalties and interest payments. These include transfer pricing uncertainties on internal cross-border deliveries of goods and services, tax uncertainties related to acquisitions and divestments, tax uncertainties related to the use of tax credits and permanent establishments, tax uncertainties duerelating to losses carried forwardtax loss and tax credits carried forward and potential changes in tax law that could result in higher tax expenseexpenses and payments.

uncertainties may have a significant impact on local financial tax results which in turn could adversely affect Philips’ financial condition and operating results.

The value of the tax losses carried forward is subject to havingavailability of sufficient taxable income available within the loss-carried-forwardtax loss-carry-forward period, but also to havingavailability of sufficient taxable income within the foreseeable future in the case of tax losses carried forward with an indefinite carry-forward period. The ultimate realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including tax losses and tax credits carried forward, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the countries where the temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits were incurred and during theon periods induring which the deferred tax assets become deductible. Additionally, in certain instances, realization of such deferred tax assets is dependent upon the successful execution of tax planning strategies. Accordingly, there can be no absolute assurance that all (net) tax losses and credits carried forward will be realized.

For further details, please refer to the tax risks paragraph innote 8, Income taxes.taxes.

Philips has defined-benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans in a number of countries. The funded status and the cost of maintaining these plans are influenced by movements in financial market and demographic developments, creating volatility in Philips’ financials.

A significant proportion of (former) employees in Europe and North and Latin America is covered by defined-benefit pension plans and other post- retirement plans. The accounting for defined-benefit pensionsuch plans requires management to make estimates on assumptions such as discount rates, inflation, longevity, expected cost of medical care and expected rates of compensation. Movements (e.g. due to the movements of financial markets) in these assumptions

can have a significant impact on the Defined Benefit Obligation and pensionnet interest cost. A negative performance of the financial markets could have a material impact on cash funding requirements and pension costsnet interest cost and also affect the value of certain financial assets and liabilities of the company.

Philips is exposed to uncertainty on the timing and proceeds of the sale of Lumileds.

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.

For important critical reporting risk areas identified within Philips we refer to the “Use of estimates” section in the note 1, Significant accounting policies, as the Company assessed that reporting risk is closely related to the use of estimates and application of judgment.

7.7 Separation risk

Philips is exposed to risks associated with the planned separation into HealthTech and Lighting Solutions.

In September 2014 Philips announced its plan to separate into two standalone companies in the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions, positioning each one to better capitalize on the highly attractive HealthTech and Lighting solutions opportunities. This is a complex process which involves certain risks to Philips.

The separation into HealthTech and Lightings Solutions is unlike divestments or carve out transactions that Philips has implemented in the past, which affected very specific parts of the business of Philips. The proposed separation impacts all businesses and markets as well as all supporting functions and all assets and liabilities of the Group and will require complex and time consuming disentanglement efforts.

The design and implementation of the separation requires the devotion of substantial time and attention from management and staff. Although Philips has set-up a dedicated senior project team to work on a successful separation, the separation efforts could distract from and have an adverse effect on the conduct of normal business and our strategy. The separation could increase the likelihood of occurrence and/or potential impact of the risks as described in section 7.2, Risk categories and factors, of this report, such as strategic risks (e.g. insufficient integration of acquisitions), operational risks (e.g. delays in innovation-to-market), compliance risk (e.g. ineffective internal controls) and financial risks (e.g. reporting risks). Philips has made no final decision as to what actions it may take with respect to Lighting Solutions once it has become a separate company. Such actions may include public offerings of ownership stakes in Lighting Solutions.

The design and implementation of the separation will involve and depend on support from external legal, tax, financial and other professional consultants and as a result Philips will incur substantial cost. The separation could take more time than originally anticipated, which may expose Philips to risks of additional cost and other adverse consequences.

The separation of businesses, assets, liabilities, contractual or contingent rights and obligations and legal entities may require Philips to recognize expenses and/or incur financial payments, which otherwise would not have been incurred.

While it is the firm intention to complete the separation, Philips has reserved the right not to proceed with the separation if it determines that it would be in the Company’s interest not to do so. If it does proceed with the separation, no assurances can be given that the separation will ultimately lead to the increased benefits contemplated by Philips currently.

108 Supervisory Board report

Introduction

We as members of the Supervisory Board are fully committed to our role and responsibility in respect of the proper functioning of the corporate governance of Philips. The Supervisory Board supervises and advises the Board of Management and Executive Committee in performing their management tasks and setting the direction of the business of the Philips Group. The Supervisory Board acts, and we as individual members of the Board act, in the interests of Koninklijke Philips N.V., its business and all its stakeholders. This report includes a more specific description of the Supervisory Board’s activities during the financial year 20142016 and other relevant information on its functioning.

Intended divestmentA review of the combined LumiledsPhilips’ new five-year sustainability program that will run throughout 2016-2020, and Automotive Lighting components businesses.includes targets for Philips’ solutions, operations and supply chain.

The Supervisory Board conducted “deep dives” on a range of topics such as:including:

Long-term strategic partnerships, covering the internal governance, risk dynamics and profitability of long-term strategic partnerships; and

Strategic priorities of Philips Integrated Landscape (which concerns the IT infrastructure for the company),in health technology, including definitive diagnosis and a review of the company’s quality and regulatory systems.guided therapy.

The Board reviewed the company’s deployment of its General Business Principles (GBP) and approved an updated version of the GBP.

Additionally, we received updates on the Company’s sustainability efforts and initiatives in the area of the “circular economy”, the annual dividend, the share buy-back program and the impact of currency headwinds on results.

On multiple occasions, we were briefed on the various aspects of the Accelerate! program. This included the transformation of the Finance and IT functions and also the progress made in transforming the culture within Philips and simplifying its operating model.

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 2014,2016, 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 Company on a variety of matters. The ChairmanSupervisory Board also held bilateral meetings with several members of the Executive Committee to discuss a rangevariety of topics.

The Supervisory Board meetings were well attended in 2014.2016. The attendance percentagelevel at thethese meetings - including the committee meetings - was again high (in excess of 95%). The Supervisory Board visited the Company’s site in Cambridge, the United States, and toured its Innovation Labs, to view demonstrations of its innovations in the health technology market and meet with employees. The Supervisory Board also visited the Company’s Research & Design facility in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and met with researchers. The committees of the Supervisory Board also convened regularly (see the separate reports of the committees below) and all of the committees regularly reported back on their activities to the full Supervisory Board. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its Committees, the Board members also held private meetings. We, as members of the Board devoted

Supervisory Board report 108

 

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 a member of the Supervisory Board cannot be a member of the Board of Management, a member of the Executive Committee or 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.

WeIn 2016, there were deeply saddened in 2014 bya number of changes to the passingmembership of James Schiro, shortlythe Board. The term of appointment of Ewald Kist expired at the end of the Annual General Meeting held on 12 May 2016, after he stepped downhad 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. James becameBoard of Philips to become a Supervisory Board member of Philips’ SupervisoryPhilips Lighting. Kees joined our Board in 20052003 and he was appointed for three consecutive terms. In 2012, James became the Vice-Chairmanserved as member of the Supervisory Board, theAudit Committee and as Chairman ofto the Remuneration Committee and the Separation Committee. We would like to thank Kees for his valuable contributions as a member of the Nomination & Selection Committee; he also served on the Audit Committee from 2005 until 2011. JamesSupervisory Board.

In 2016, Neelam Dhawan was instrumental in the introductionreappointed as a member of the new Remuneration PolicySupervisory Board.

The agenda for the upcoming 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will include proposals to reappoint Jeroen van der Veer and Long-term Incentive Plan that was approved by shareholders in 2013. James was an excellent Supervisory Board member and a loyal friend, he was full of integrity, modest and humble: truly a fine man. Philips and weChristine Poon as members of the Supervisory Board, will miss him dearly.

Ms Orit Gadiesh was appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board at the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The agenda for the upcoming 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders includes a proposal to reappoint Mr Heino von Prondzynski and Mr Jackson Tai to the Supervisory Boardeach for an additional term of four years. The Supervisory Board will also recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders to re-appoint Mr Kees van Lede for an additional term of two years. The re-appointment would represent Kees fourth term on the Supervisory Board. The Board proposes to re-appoint Mr van Lede because his past experience and strong knowledge of corporate governance will be of particular benefit as the company goes through a period of transition.

In 2014, there were also a number of changes to the chairmanships and memberships within the Board. Christine Poon was appointed as Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Heino von Prondzynski was appointed as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee. Mr von Prondzynski also joined the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee. Orit Gadiesh joined the Audit Committee.

The profile of the Supervisory Board remains unchanged and 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 both European andnon-European backgrounds (nationality, working experience or otherwise) and one or more members who have held an executive or similar position in business or society.

In addition, we support Philips’ policy to appoint a well-balanced mix of women and men to its Board of Management, Executive Committee and Supervisory Board, including the requirement under Dutch legislation for companies to pursue a 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 brought Currently, the Supervisory Board’s gender diversity is within the statutorythese criteria. We note that there may be various pragmatic reasons – such as other relevant selection criteria and the availability of suitable candidates within Philips – that could play a role in the achievement of our diversity targets.

In 2014,2016, the members of the Supervisory Board again each completed a questionnaire to verify compliance in 2014 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. As 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. TheThis 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 continues to be a well-functioning team and we believe a diversity of experience and skills is represented on the Board. The Board has spent time throughout 2014

Its other members are Jeroen van der Veer Ewald Kist and Christine Poon. The Committee is responsible for preparing decisions of the Supervisory Board on the remuneration of individual members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee.

10.2.18.2.1 Remuneration policy

The objective of the remuneration policy for members of the Board of Management, as adopted by the General Meetinggeneral meeting of Shareholders,shareholders, is in line with that for executives throughout the Philips Group:Group. That is, to attract, motivate and retain qualified senior executives of the highest caliber with an international mindset and the background essential for the successful leadership and effective management of a large global company. The Board of Management remuneration policy is

Supervisory Board report 10.2.1

benchmarked regularly against companies in the general industry and aims at the median market position.

One of the goals behind the policy is to focus on improving the performance of the company and to enhance the value of the Philips Group. Consequently, the remuneration package includes a variable part in the form of an annual cash incentive and a long-term incentive consisting of performance shares. The policy does not encourage inappropriate risk-taking.

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

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 broadly 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-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:

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.

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. In addition, we have added back thenon-controlling interests related to Philips Lighting since contributions from this business were included in the original EPS targets.

The resulting EPS achievement was determined by the Supervisory Board as 107.1%.

Corporate governance 9.1

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.

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 2014.2016. The financial statements fairly represent the financial condition and result of operations of the Company and provide the required disclosures.

It should be noted that the above does not imply that these systems and procedures provide certainty as to the realization of operational and financial business objectives, nor can they prevent all misstatements, inaccuracies, errors, fraud andnon-compliances with rules and regulations.

In view of the above, the Board of Management believes that it is in compliance with the requirements of recommendation II.1.4. of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The above statement on internal controls should not be construed as a statement in response to the requirements of section 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The statement as to compliance with section 404 is set forth in the section 12.1,10.1, Management’s report on internal control, of this report.

Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders may be convened by the Supervisory Board or the Board of Management if deemed necessary and must be held if shareholders jointly representing at least 10% of the outstanding share capital make a written request to that effect to the Supervisory Board and the Board of Management, specifying in detail the business to be dealt with. The agenda of a General Meeting of Shareholders shall contain such business as may be placed thereon by the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board, and agenda items will be explained where necessary in writing. The agenda shall list which items are for discussion and which items are to be voted upon.

Material amendments to the Articles of Association and resolutions for the appointment of members of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board shall be submitted separately to the General Meeting of Shareholders, it being understood that amendments and other proposals that are connected in the context of a proposed (part of the) governance structure may be submitted as one proposal. In accordance with the Articles of Association and Dutch law, requests from shareholders for items to be included on the agenda will generally be honored, subject to the Company’s rights to refuse to include the requested agenda item under Dutch law, provided that such requests are made in writing at least 60 days before a General Meeting of Shareholders to the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board by shareholders representing at least 1% of the Company’s outstanding capital or, according to the official price list of Euronext Amsterdam, representing a value of at least EUR 50 million.

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

Main powers of the General Meeting of Shareholders

All outstanding shares carry voting rights. 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-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). This subject is dealt with and explained as a separate agenda item at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. 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

118      Annual Report 2014


Corporate governance 11.3

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. 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-party ever seem likely in the judgment of the Foundation to obtain (de facto) control of the Company, will result in the preference shares

108      Annual Report 2016


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, 2014.2016. 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-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 P.A.F.W. Elverding, M.W. den 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.

As part of these procedures, a Disclosure Committee has been appointed by the Board of Management to oversee the Company’s disclosure activities and to assist the Executive Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities in this respect. The Committee’s purpose is to ensure that the Company implements and maintains internal procedures for the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure, as appropriate, of information potentially subject to public disclosure under the legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements to which the Company is subject.

In light of this legislation, the Auditor Policy was updated in 2013. The policy is published on the Company’s website. The policy is also in line with US Securities and Exchange Commission rules under which the appointed external auditor must be independent of the Company both in fact and appearance.

The Auditor Policy includes rules for thepre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services to be provided by the external auditor. Proposed services may be pre-approved at the beginning of the year by the Audit Committee (annualpre-approval) or may be pre-approved during the year by the Audit Committee in respect of a particular engagement (specific pre-approval). The annualpre-approval is based on a detailed, itemized list of services to be provided, designed to ensure that there is no management discretion in determining whether a service has been approved and to ensure the Audit Committee is informed of each services it ispre-approving. Unlesspre-approval with respect to a specific service has been given at the beginning of the year, each proposed service requires specificpre-approval during the year. Any annuallypre-approved services where the fee for the engagement is expected to exceedpre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specificpre-approval. The term of any annual pre-approval is 12 months from the date of thepre-approval unless the Audit Committee states otherwise.

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

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. The 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 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 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.

124      Annual Report 2014


Corporate governance 11.6

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

The Company is subject to a requirement to seek shareholder approval for equity compensation-plans for its members of the Board of Management.

Code of business conduct

The Company has implemented the Philips General Business Principles, which are applicable to all employees and a Financial Code of Ethics, which is applicable to all employees performing an accounting or financial function. Waivers granted to Senior (Financial) Officers (as defined in our Financial Code of Ethics) will be disclosed. In 20142015 the Company did not grant any waivers of the Financial Code of Ethics.

KPMG

InFrom June 2014 to October 2015, KPMG Accountants N.V. (KPMG), who were the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm selectedduring this period, had a new Chief Executive Officer who was the Chief Financial Officer of Philips in the period1997-2005. He 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 to safeguardfor 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 arewere applicable to the KPMG audit of Philips during this period, and accordingly, the financial relationship violatesviolated the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations. KPMG is not the independent auditor of the Philips Pension Fund. KPMG has put in place a process whereby the KPMG CEO iswas not in the chain of command with respect to the Philips’ audit or the ratings or compensation of partners who workworked on the Philips’ audit. KPMG has advised Philips’ management and its audit committee that this situation, considering the actions taken by the firm, doesdid 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 concursconcured that this financial relationship doesdid not impact the firm’s ability to apply objective and impartial judgment on all matters encompassed within the annual audits of Philips.

12.110.1 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 (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, 2014,2016, the Company’s internal control over Group financial reporting is considered effective.

The Board of Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, excluded the following company acquired by the Company on September 2, 2014: Philips Lighting Saudi Arabia (PLSA) formerly known as General Lighting Company (GLC), domiciled in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company owns 51% of the shares in PLSA. The total assets of this acquisition represented 1,5% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2014, the sales of this acquisition represented less than 1% of consolidated sales of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2016, 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.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2014.2016.

Philips Lighting continues to be consolidated and fully included in the Internal Control over Financial Reporting framework of Royal Philips. However, due to the separation, Royal Philips and Philips Lighting have beenaltered and implemented certain control activities which support the new structure. There were no other changes in our internal controlInternal Control over financial reportingFinancial Reporting during 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlInternal Control over financial reporting.

12.3.1 Independent auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Koninklijke Philips N.V.‘s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 24, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting.

Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanyingsection 12.1, “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.

Koninklijke Philips N.V. acquired Philips Lighting Saudi Arabia (PLSA), formerly known as General Lighting Company (GLC) during 2014 and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, PLSA’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of approximately 1.5% of consolidated total assets and sales of less than 1.0% of consolidated sales included in the consolidated financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Koninklijke Philips N.V. also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of PLSA.

In our opinion, Koninklijke Philips N.V. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

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. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 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 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.

Prior-period financial statements have been restated for the treatment of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive as discontinued operations (see note 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale) and for two voluntary accounting policy changes (see note 1, Significant accounting policies). The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

For a number of reasons, principally the effects of translation differences and consolidation changes, certain items in the statements of cash flows do not correspond to the differences between the balance sheet amounts for the respective items.

12.910.10 Notes

Separation - HealthTech and Lighting Solutions

In September 2014 Philips announced its plan to sharpen its strategic focus by establishing two stand-alone companies focused on the HealthTech and Lighting Solutions opportunities.

To achieve this transformation, from January 1, 2015, Philips started to integrate the sectors Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare into one operating company focused on our HealthTech businesses. At the same time Philips is taking the next step in the implementation of its new operating model which will give the company a dedicated, focused and lean management structure, as a result of the planned integration of the relevant sector and group layers.

The establishment of the two stand-alone companies will also involve the split and allocation of the current Innovation, Group & Services sector to each company in 2015. This means that in the course of 2015 the IG&S sector as currently described in these financial statements will disappear and no longer be presented as a separate segment for reporting purposes.

Philips also started the process to carve out its Lighting business into a separate legal structure and will consider various options for ownership structures with direct access to capital markets. The proposed separation of the Lighting business impacts all businesses and markets as well as all supporting functions and all assets and liabilities of the Group and may require complex and time consuming disentanglement efforts.

Prior-period restatements

Prior-period financial statements have been restated for the treatment of the combined businesses of Lumileds and Automotive as discontinued operations (see note 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale) and for two voluntary accounting policy changes (see note 1, Significant accounting policies). Movement schedules of balance sheet items include items from continuing and discontinued operations and therefore cannot be reconciled to income from continuing operations and cash flow from continuing operations only.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements of the Philips Group

LOGOLOGO Significant accounting policies

The Consolidated financial statements in the Group financial statements section have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and with the statutory provisions of Part 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective year-end 20142016 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 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 24, 2015,21, 2017, the Board of Management authorized the Consolidated financial statements for issue. The Consolidated financial statements as presented in this report are subject to adoption by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 7, 2015.11, 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 a 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.

The areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made are goodwill, and other intangibles acquired, deferred tax 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, uncertain tax positionsrisks 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, as well as when determining the fair values of acquired identifiable intangible assets based on an assessment of future cash flows.

140      Annual Report 2014


Group For further discussion on these significant judgements and estimates, reference is made to the respective notes within these consolidated financial statements 12.9

that relate to the above topics.

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

Changes in accounting policiespresentation from the prior year

The accounting policies set out in this section have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these Consolidatedconsolidated financial statements, except for certain voluntary accounting policy changes as explained below and changes in accounting policies as a resultthe presentation of New Standards and Interpretations (see next section).

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. The most important of these alternative treatments are mentioned below.

Tangible and intangible fixed assets

Under IFRS, an entity shall choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting for tangible and intangible fixed assets. In this respect, items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives and residual values are evaluated annually. Furthermore, the Company chose to apply the cost model meaning that costs relating to product development, the development and purchase of software for internal use and other intangible assets are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the estimated useful life. Further information on Tangible and Intangible fixed assets can be found innote 10, Property, plant and equipmentand note 12, Intangible assets excluding goodwill respectively.

Employee benefit accounting

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

Furthermore, when accounting for the settlement of defined-benefit plans the Company made the accounting policy choice to adjust the amount of the plan assets transferred for the effect of the asset 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 norusing either the total netdirect method (whereby major classes of gross cash balance as thesereceipts 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 chose to present dividends paid to shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V. as a component of cash flows from financing activities, rather than to present such dividends as cash flows from operating activities which is an allowed alternative under IFRS.

Consolidated statements of cash flows can be found insection 10.8, Consolidated statements of cash flows, of this report.

Policies that are more critical in 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 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 segments Personal Health businesses and Lighting these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and title and risk have passed to the customer (depending on the delivery conditions) and acceptance of the product has been obtained. Examples of delivery conditions are ‘Free on Board point of delivery’ and ‘Costs, Insurance Paid point of delivery’, where the point of delivery may be the shipping warehouse or any other point of destination as agreed in the contract with the customer and where 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 segments 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.

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

Expenses incurred for shipping and handling of internal movements of goods are recorded as cost of sales. Shipping and handling related to sales to third parties are recorded as selling expenses. When shipping and handling 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 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. Grants related to assets are deducted from the cost of the asset and presented net in the Statement of financial position.

Income taxes

Income taxes comprises current and deferred tax. Income taxes is recognized in the Statement of income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly within equity or in Other comprehensive income. Current taxes is the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted orsubstantively-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; the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates where the reversal of the respective temporary difference can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that it will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on different 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 be refundable or deductible. Changes in tax rates are reflected in the period when the change has been enacted or substantively 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.

Group financial statements 10.10

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; (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 cost of disposal. Any gain or loss from disposal, together with the results of these operations until the date of disposal, is reported separately as discontinued operations. The financial information of discontinued operations is excluded from the respective captions in the Consolidated financial statements and related notes for all periods presented. Comparatives in the balance sheet are not represented when anon-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale. Comparatives are represented for presentation of discontinued operations in the Statement of cash flow and Statement of income.

Adjustments in the current period to amounts previously presented in discontinued operations that are directly related to the disposal of a discontinued operation in a prior period are classified separately in Discontinued operations. Circumstances to which these adjustments may relate include resolution of uncertainties that arise from the terms of the disposal transaction, such as the resolution of purchase price adjustments and indemnifications, resolution of uncertainties that arise from and are directly related to the operations of the component before its disposal, such as environmental and 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.

Further information on discontinued operations andnon-current assets held for sale can be found innote 3, Discontinued operations and other assets classified as held for sale.

Impairment

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized but 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.

Further information on business combinations can be found innote 13, Other financial assets.

Other policies

Basis of consolidation

The Consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.V. and all subsidiaries that the Company controls, i.e. when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. 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 aggregated sub linesOther 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 Statementsassociate. 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.

Prior-yearSegment information

Operating segments are components of the Company’s business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Executive Committee of the Company). The presentationExecutive Committee decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance. Reportable segments comprise the operating segments Personal Health businesses, Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses and Lighting. HealthTech Other and Legacy Items are segments but not separate reportable segments and hold, among others, the Emerging Businesses and Innovation businesses, headquarters overhead, regional/country organization expenses and separation costs. Segment accounting policies are the same as the accounting policies applied by the Company.

Earnings per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of certain prior-year disclosures have beencommon shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the Net income (loss) attributable to align withshareholders and the current year disclosures.weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprises of restricted shares, performance shares and share options granted to employees.

The Company has adoptedChanges to policies, following from amendments to standards, interpretations and the following new and amended Standards and Interpretations as of January 1, 2014:

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 doesannual improvement cycles, effective 2016, did not have a material impact on the Group financial statements. The Company early-adopted IFRIC 21, as endorsed by the EU, to align with the IASB effective date of January 1, 2014.

Changes to other standards, following from Amendments and the Annual Improvement Cycles, do not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In case of the absence of explicit transition requirements for new accounting pronouncements, the Company accounts for any change in accounting policies retrospectively.

IFRS accounting standards to be adopted as from 20152017 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, 20152017 or later periods, and the Company has not early adopted them. Those which may be the most relevant to the Company are set out below.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 specifies how2017 or later periods, and when revenue is recognized as well as describes 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.

IFRS 15 must be applied for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new Standard.

Specific choices within IFRS

Sometimes IFRS allows alternative accounting treatments for measurement and/or disclosure. The most important of these alternative treatments are mentioned below.

Tangible and intangible fixed assets

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

Employee benefit accounting

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

Cash flow statements

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

Furthermore, interest cash flows are presented in cash flows from operating activities rather than financing or investing cash flows, because they enter into the determination of profit or loss. The Company choose 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 operating cash flowsearly adopted them. Those which is an allowed alternative under IFRS.

Policies that are more critical in 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 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 sectors Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and title and risk have passed to the customer (depending on the delivery conditions) and acceptance of the product has been obtained. Examples of delivery conditions are ‘Free on Board point of delivery’ and ‘Costs, Insurance Paid point of delivery’, where the point of delivery may be the shipping warehouse or any other point of destination as agreed in the contract with the customer and where title and risk for the goods passmost relevant to the customer.

Revenues of transactions that have separately identifiable componentsCompany are recognized based on their relative fair values. These transactions mainly occur in the Healthcare sector and include arrangements that require subsequent installation and training activities in orderset out below. Changes 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 completedother standards, following from amendments 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

142      Annual Report 2014


Group financial statements 12.9

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.

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. 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 and free-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 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, which is generally earned based upon a percentage of sales or a fixed amount per product sold, is recognized on an accrual basis based on actual or reliably estimated sales made by the licensees.

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 over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Income tax

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

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, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is 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-enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally-enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different 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 taxesannual improvement cycles, are not expected to be refundable or deductible. Changes in tax rates are reflected in the period when the change has been enacted or substantially-enacted by the reporting date.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized if, ashave 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. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. The accounting for some ofmaterial impact on the Company’s provisions is as follows:

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.

Annual Report 2014      143


Group financial statements 12.9

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.

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.

Goodwill

Measurement of goodwill at initial recognition is described under Basis of consolidation below. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of investments in associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of investment, and an impairment loss on such investment is allocated to the investment as a whole.

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 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 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.

Discontinued operations and non-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; 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.

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

Adjustments in the current period to amounts previously presented in discontinued operations that are directly related to the disposal of a discontinued operation in a prior period are classified separately in discontinued operations. Circumstances to which these adjustments may relate include resolution of uncertainties that arise from the terms of the disposal transaction, such as the resolution of 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, 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

144      Annual Report 2014


Group financial statements 12.9

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

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 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.

Other policies

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 and presentation currency of the Company. 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 at year-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 translation are recognized in the Statement of income, except for available-for-sale equity investments which are recognized in Other comprehensive income, except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognized in Other comprehensive income are reclassified to the Statement of 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-

Annual Report 2014      145


Group financial statements 12.9

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 a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to Non-controlling interests.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the Currency translation differences related to the foreign operation is reclassified to the 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 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 when 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, 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 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 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.

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’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Financial assets at

146      Annual Report 2014


Group financial statements 12.9

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.

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.

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 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

Annual Report 2014      147


Group financial statements 12.9

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

Assets manufactured by the Company include direct manufacturing costs and production overheads. Government grants are deducted from 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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 (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 is used to determine the defined benefit obligation. The curves are based on Towers Watson’s RATE:Link 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 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 liability comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest). The Company immediately 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 comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets and change in the present value of defined

148      Annual Report 2014


Group financial statements 12.9

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 obligation can be measured reliably.

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 increase 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.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, 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 preexisting 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 expenses on borrowings and on the net defined benefit liability, 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.

Financial guarantees

The Company recognizes a liability at the fair value of the obligation at the inception of a financial guarantee contract. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation or the amount initially recognized.

Basis of consolidation

The Consolidated financial statements include the accounts 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 any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company.

The Company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

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

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

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

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

Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and initially is presented 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 is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity.

Annual Report 2014      149


Group financial statements 12.9

Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of income.

Acquisitions of and adjustments to non-controlling interests

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

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 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 does 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 Company’s investments 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 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 equity stake resulting from gaining control over the investee previously recorded as associate are recorded under Results relating to investments in associates.

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 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.

Segment information

Operating segments are components of the Company’s business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Executive Committee of the Company). The Executive Committee decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance. Reportable segments comprise the operating sectors Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting. Innovation, Group & Services (IG&S) is a sector but not a separate reportable segment and holds, amongst others, headquarters, overhead and regional/ country organization expenses. Segment accounting policies are the same as the accounting policies as applied to the Group.

Earnings per Share

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

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

New standards and interpretations

IFRS accounting standards adopted as from 2016

Changes to policies, following from amendments to standards, interpretations and the annual improvement cycles, effective 2016, did not have a material impact on the Group financial statements.

IFRS accounting standards to be adopted as from 2017 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, 2017 or later periods, and the Company has not early adopted them. Those which may be the most relevant to the Company are set out below. Changes to other standards, following from amendments and the annual improvement cycles, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 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.

 

150138      Annual Report 20142016


LOGO Group financial statements 12.910.10

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.

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 25.0% (2013:(2015: 25.0%; 2012:2014: 25.0%).

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

The weighted average statutory income tax rate decreased in 2014 compared to 2013, as a consequence of a significant change in the mix of profits and losses in the various countries.

The effective income tax rate is higherwas lower than the weighted average statutory income tax rate in 2014,2016, mainly due to the non-deductible expenses, new loss carryforwardsrecognition of deferred tax assets and temporary differences not expected to be realized which are partly offset by non-taxable income. Non-taxable income, is predominantlylargely attributable to favorable tax regulations relating to R&D investments.

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 2,3532,726 million (2013:(2015: EUR 1,5992,594 million) consist of deferred tax assets of EUR 2,4602,792 million (2013:(2015: EUR 1,6752,758 million) in countries with a net deferred tax asset position and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 10766 million (2013:(2015: EUR 76164 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 2,4602,726 million at December 31, 2014, (2013:2016 (2015: EUR 1,6752,758 million), EUR 1,3522,054 million (2013:(2015: EUR 5432,119 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, 20142016 and 2013, 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 47685 million (2013:(2015: EUR 32739 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 licensing 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, specific allocationservice contracts for costs and revenues, generalsuch as intra-group service agreements and licensing agreements are signed with a large number of group entities. Tax authorities review the implementation of these intra-group service and licensing agreements, or audit the use of tax credits attached to the resulting service fee and royalty payments, and may reject the implemented procedures.intra-group charges. Furthermore, buy in/out situations in the case of (de)mergers could affect the cost allocation resulting from the intragroup service agreements between countries. The same applies to the specific 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. This is becausearise when operations in a country involvesinvolve a Philips organization in another country, there is a risk that tax claims will arise in the former country as well as in the latter country.

Acquisitions in 2014 which includedIn 2016, goodwill mainly relatedincreased by EUR 124 million due to the acquisition of General Lighting Company (GLC) forWellcentive and PathXL. The increase of EUR 58 million. In addition, goodwill changed235 million is mainly due to the finalization of purchase price accounting related to acquisitions in the prior year. Divestments and transfer to assets classified as held for sale in 2014 relate to the sectors Healthcare and Lighting. In 2014 the movement of EUR 738 million in translation differences is mainly explained by the increase of the USD/EUR rate which impacted the goodwill nominateddenominated in USD.

In 20132015, goodwill increased by EUR 627 million due to the movementacquisition of Volcano. The increase of EUR 55721 million is due to translation differences which impacted the goodwill denominated in divestments and transfers to assets classified as held for sale mainly relate to divestments in the Healthcare sector.USD.

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

In 2014, a cash-generating unit Healthcare Informatics Services & Solutions was created in the Healthcare sector. As a result of the change, a portion of the goodwill associated with the unit Patient Care & Clinical Informatics and the unit Home Monitoring was allocated to Healthcare Informatics Services & Solutions. The name of the cash-generating unit Patient Care & Clinical Informatics was changed in 2014 to Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions.

Goodwill allocated to the cash-generating units Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Imaging Systems,Image-Guided Therapy, Patient Care & Monitoring 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, 2014.2016.

The basis of the recoverable amount used in the annual impairment tests for the units disclosed in this note is the value in use. In the 2014 annual impairment test performed in the secondfourth quarter and in the tests performed in the second half of 2014,2016, 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 20142017 to 2018 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.

Key assumptions and sensitivity analysis relating to cash-generating units to which a significant amount of goodwill is allocated

Cash flow projections of Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Imaging Systems,Image-Guided Therapy, Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions, Sleep & Respiratory Care and Professional Lighting Solutions for 2014 wereare based on the key assumptions included in the table below. These assumptions are based onbelow, which were used in the annual impairment test performed in the second quarter except for the unit Professional Lighting Solutions which performed an updated test in Q4 2014 given the acquisition of GLC in the second half of the year.

The results of the annual impairment test of Imaging Systems andImage-Guided Therapy, Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions have indicatedand Sleep & Respiratory Care indicate that a reasonably possible change in key assumptions would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value.

Impairment charge 2013

In the fourth quarter of 2013, 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 applied in the mentioned Q4 2013 test was 13.5%. The pre-tax discount rate applied in the 2013 annual impairment test was 13.4%. Comparedcash-generating units to which anon-significant amount relative to the previous impairment test there has been no change in the organization structure which impacts howtotal goodwill is allocated to this cash-generating unit.

Additional information 2014

In addition to the units with significant goodwill other cash-generatingrecorded at the units arementioned above, Home Monitoring is sensitive to fluctuations in the assumptions as set out above.

Based on the most recent impairment test, it was noted that the headroom for the cash-generating unit Home Monitoring was EUR 3050 million. An increase of 150160 points in thepre-tax discount discounting rate, a 310390 basis points decline in the compound long-term sales growth rate or a 21%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, 20142016 amounts to EUR 34 million.

Based on the most recent impairment test, it was noted that with regard to the headroom for the cash-generating unit Consumer Luminaires the estimated recoverable amount approximates the carrying value of this cash-generating unit. Consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions would, individually, cause an impairment loss to be recognized. The goodwill allocated to Consumer Luminaires at December 31, 2014 amounts to EUR 112 million.

Please refer to note 2, Information by sector and main country for a specification of goodwill by sector.

An example of such condition is the prohibition to any subsidiary of Royal Philips, including Philips Lighting and its 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.

On October 1, 2014, a jury awarded USD 467 million to Masimo Corporation (Masimo) in a trial held before the UnitesUnited States District Court for the District of DelawareDelaware. The decision by the jury completed an initial phase of a three-phase trial regarding a first lawsuit started by Masimo against Philipsthe Company in which2009. A second lawsuit was started by Masimo was awardedagainst 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.

On November 5, 2016, the Company and Masimo entered into a compensation ofwide-ranging, multi-year business partnership involving both companies’ innovations in patient monitoring and therapy solutions, ending all pending 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 Company with respect to sales 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 366280 million) in November 2016, a release of litigation provisions of USD 86 million (EUR 79 million) and a liability reclassification from litigation provisions to other provisions of USD 136 million (EUR 125 million).

Settlements in excess of provisions recognized previously were recognized as an increase of other current liabilities. These settlements were subsequently paid out in 2015.

In 2014, as a result of the aforementioned changes in estimates for the CRT antitrust litigation, the results of other business expenses of EUR 271 million mainly related to certain parts of the CRT antitrust litigation for which the Company concluded it was able to make a reliable estimate of the cash outflow or where the Company was able to reach a settlement.

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

168      Annual Report 2016


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-benefit obligation (DBO) and plan assets.

The United States

The US defined-benefit pension plans are closed plans without further pension accrual. Indexation of benefits is not mandatory. The Company pays contributions to cover a deficit. The assets of the US funded pension plans are in Trusts 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 and 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 NetherlandsCompany 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 (the Flexplan) was changed in 2014 following the new funding agreement agreed with the Trustees2015 from a DB plan into a DC plan, triggering a settlement of the Company Pension Fund. Underplan which at the new funding agreement, which became effective January 1, 2014,time had a surplus of EUR 20 million. As the Company hassurplus was not recognized on the balance sheet due to the asset ceiling and because no further financial obligation to the Pension Fund other than to pay an agreed fixed contribution for the annual accrual of active members. 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.

Although the new funding agreement de-risked the plan, the annual premium can be subject to variability after five years due to potential discounts and as a result, the plan continued to be accounted for as a defined-benefit plan. The other 2014 changes in the planpayments were a new pensionable age of 67 (was 65) and the introduction of an employee contribution. These changes had no material impact on the existing defined-benefit obligation.

As part of the above changes, the Company agreed to transfer a one-off EUR 600 million to the Company Pension Fund of which EUR 433 million has been paid in 2014. The remainder is to be settled before July 2015 and is included in the 2015 cash projection in this note.

In 2014 the Fund adopted the Prognosis mortality table 2014 with new experience rating which resulted in a decrease of the Company’s defined-benefit obligation. This effect is recognized in Other comprehensive income under Remeasurements for pension and other post-employment plans.

New legislation effective January 1, 2015 introduces a mandatory cap of EUR 100 thousand on the pension salary for future pension accrual. The Company has changed the pension plan accordingly at the end of 2014. For employees earning more than this cap the Company has announced certain compensatory measures and the introduction of a voluntary net pension saving scheme for the salary part above the cap. To limit the number of plans the Company further announced to cease the executive pension plan and transfer its members and their accrued defined-benefit rights to the Flexplan. Accrued defined-contribution rights in the executive pension plan are optionally transferred to either the Flexplan or an individual product. The net pension saving scheme and the individual product are with an external provider other than the Company Pension Fund.

The net result of these changes was a EUR 68 million

decrease in the Company’s defined-benefit obligation which is recognized in the 2014 income statement as a past service cost gain of which EUR 1 million in discontinued operations.

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.

In 2014 the Trustee of the UK Fund entered into two further bulk insurance contracts - buy-ins - which provide for payment in respect of a part of the Fund’s pensioners. The asset valuemade directly related to the buy-ins includedsettlement, as per the Company’s accounting policy, the Company did not recognize a settlement result in the UK plan assets equals the defined-benefit obligation of the related pensioners and is EUR 1,299 million per December 31, 2014 which is some 30% of the total assets.

United States

The US defined-benefit plan covers certain hourly workers and salaried workers hired before January 1, 2005.

The accrualincome statement but in remeasurements for salaried workerspensions in the US plan will end per December 31, 2015 after which the remaining members become eligible for the existing US DC plan. In 2014 the Company adopted a new Mortality table as published by the US SocietyConsolidated statements of Actuaries which increased the US plan’s defined-benefit obligation with some 6%. This effect is recognized in Other comprehensive income under Remeasurements for pension and other post-employment plans.

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 plan are in a Trust governed by Trustees.Comprehensive Income.

Risks related to defined-benefit plans

TheseThe remaining defined-benefit plans except the Netherlands plan 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 activede-risking strategy in which it constantly looks for opportunities to reduce the risks associated with its defined-benefit plans. Liability drivenLiability-driven investment strategies, lump sumcash-out options,buy-ins,buy-outs and the above mentioned 2014a change in the funding agreement 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 2014 contain 17% (2013: 14%) unquoted assets, the increase compared to 2013 mainly related to the new buy-in value in the UK plan. Plan assets in 2014 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 2014 including experience rating TW2014.

UK: SAPS 2002- Core CMI 2011 projection

US: RP2014 HA/EE Fully Generational scaled with MP2014

The weighted averages of the assumptions used to calculate the defined-benefit obligations as of December 31 were as follows:

1)

The rate of compensation increase for the Netherlands consists of a general 2% compensation increase and an individual salary increase based on merit, seniority and promotion. The Company regularly determines new turnover and disability rates and individual salary rates for all active participants. Current figures are based on the period 2010-2012. The individual increase at the average age of 45 is 1.75% (2013: 1.75%). The indexation assumption used to calculate the defined-benefit obligations for the Netherlands is 1.0% (2013: 1.0%).

Due to the nature of the pension plan in the Netherlands an assumption is required for the future pension accrual rate. If the fixed premium does not cover the cost of the target accrual of 1,85% per annum a lower percentage must be applied for which the cost will be covered by the fixed premium. The Fund in the Netherlands has set aside part of the EUR 600 million received for active members accrual or indexation. The accrual rate for the next 5 years starting 2015 is expected to be 1,85%. Per 31 December 2014 the average future accrual rate used to calculate the defined-benefit obligation and service cost is fixed at 1,74% (2013: 1,85%) as after the five year period a lower percentage will apply assuming the current fixed premium level.

The (average) duration of the defined-benefit obligation of the pension plans is 17 years for the Netherlands (2013: 15 years) and 12 years for other countries (2013: 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 investment strategy of the Philips pension Plan in the Netherlands, is to achieve its agreed ambition, i.e. an indexed retirement income for all participants. The fund’s indexation policy is dependent on the funding ratio and requires a sustainable (regulatory required) basis before allowing any indexation. To meet its ambitions, the fund has strategically allocated 60% of its assets to fixed income and 40% to return assets. Within fixed income circa 90% is invested in so called liability-driven assets (euro and global government bonds, investment grade credits, interest rate and inflation swaps and mortgages) and the remaining part in high yield bonds and emerging market debt. The return assets mainly consist of global equities and real estate.

The Philips pension plan in the UK 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. Some 30% of the portfolio is now 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 US 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 EUR 196 million for the Netherlands and EUR 623 million for other countries. The Company continues to fund a part of the existing deficit in the US pension plan in 2015. For the funding of the deficit in the US plan the Group adheres to the minimum funding requirements of the US Pension Protection Act and in 2015 plans to contribute an additional EUR 300 million which amount is included in the amounts aforementioned. The UK plan is currently in a surplus on a regulatory basis and does not require any funding in 2015 other than the agreed administration cost. A new regulatory valuation is scheduled to be performed for the UK Fund during 2015.

Sensitivity analysis

The table below illustrates the approximate impact on the defined-benefit obligation (DBO) 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.

Zoll

In June 2010, Philips filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Zoll Medical Corporation claiming that its defibrillator related patents were infringed by Zoll’s Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) products. Zoll filed a countersuit claiming patent infringement by Philips’ Advanced Life Support (ALS) products and a method for testing defibrillator electrodes.

In December 2013, the liability phase of the Zoll lawsuit was tried before a jury in the United States District Court for the District Massachusetts. Philips and Zoll were both held to infringe each other’s patents. Philips expects that it will result in a net difference in favor of Philips. The Zoll liability judgment is now pending beforewas appealed by both parties to the United States Court of AppealsAppeal for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). in August 2014. In a July 28, 2016 decision, the liability judgment wasaffirmed-in-part,reversed-in-part andvacated-in-part by the CAFC. In view of the CAFC decision, Philips continues to expect a net difference in damages in its favor. Resolution of the amount ultimately owed to Philips in the Zoll lawsuit is contingent upon both the CAFC affirming the December 2013 jury decision on liability (expected in the second half of 2015) and the subsequenta damages trial (expectednow scheduled to take place during the first half of 2016).

Suframa

In 1996, CIEM (Labor Union of Manaus) representing, amongst 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. The estimated amount as of year-end 2014 is EUR 43 million, the increase explained by interest.

In 2014 an agreement was made with an external investor under which agreement Philips received upfront EUR 14 million in cash and has the right to receive (“upward potential”) future amounts dependingbegin on a favorable outcome of the case and the timeline in which this outcome is reached (EUR 5 million – EUR 1.7 million). In case Philips will lose the case there is no requirement to repay the upfront amount (no recourse basis).

Provided below are disclosures of the more significant cases:

Cathode-RayCathode 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-RayCathode 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 and in November 2014 the Company presented its defense at a Hearing with the General Court.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 allegealleged anticompetitive conduct by manufacturers of CRTs and seeksought treble damages on a joint and several liability basis under federal antitrust law, as well as various state antitrust and unfair competition laws. These actions have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.basis. In addition, sixteen individual plaintiffs, principally large retailers of CRT products who opted-outopted out of the direct purchaser class, filed separate complaints against the Company and other defendants based on the same substantive allegations asallegations.

The Company reacheddirect 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 yearyears 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.

After years of inactivity, in 2014, plaintiffs in the Ontario action initiated the class certification proceedings withleading to class certification hearings scheduled for late April 2015.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-defendantsco- 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

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. The Company and PLDS are also subject to similar investigations outsideOn October 21, 2015 the US and Europe relatingEuropean Commission issued its fining decisions in which it granted immunity to the ODD market.

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 forpre-trial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. TheInitially the plaintiffs’ applications for certification of both the direct and indirect purchaser classes were denied on October 3, 2014. The representatives of these putative classes tried appealingdenied.

In September 2015, PLDS entered into a settlement agreement with the denial of class certificationdirect 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 United States Court of Appeals forsettlement, the Ninth Circuit. However,Company will be released from the Ninth Circuit declined this request to appeal.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 substantially 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. 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 itsparens patriaecapacity, on behalf of its citizens. The defendants’ motionIn December 2016, PLDS reached a settlement with the state attorney general of Florida, which settlement is subject to dismiss has been denied and Philips filed an answercourt approval. Pursuant to the complaint. This case has been joined withsettlement agreement, the ODD class action cases inCompany is also released from the Northern District of California for pre-trial purposes.Florida state attorney general’s claim.

The Company and 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 proceeding as a class action. The hearing was held in January 2015 and the2015. The Court’s decision on class certification is still pending.

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 basis of current knowledge, the Company has concluded that potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to these matters. These matters could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Miscellaneous

As part of the divestment of the Television and Audio, Video, Multimedia & Accessories businesses in 2012 and 2014, the Company transferred economic ownership and control in some legal entities or divisions thereof, while retaining (partial) legal ownership. Considering the current challenging business environment, the Company might face employee and operational liabilities in case of certain adverse events. Given the uncertain nature of the relevant events and liabilities, it is not practicable to provide information on the estimate of the financial effect, if any, or timing. The outcome of the uncertain events could have a materially adverse effectmaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The decision by the jury is part of extensive litigation, which started in 2009, between Masimo and Philips involving several claims and counterclaims related to a large number of patents in the field of pulse oximetry. The lawsuit filed by Masimo alleges that certain Philips products infringe certain Masimo patents. In response to these claims, Philips filed its answer and counterclaims alleging infringement of a number of Philips’ patents and violation of US antitrust laws and patent misuse by Masimo. The Court has decided to handle the litigation in several phases, the first phase of which was tried in September 2014. The October 2014 decision by the jury is associated with this first phase of the litigation.

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:

Awarded before date of appointment as a member of the Board of Management

Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan operative until 2013, members of the Board of Management were granted restricted share rights. 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.

Annual Report 2014      193


Group financial statements 12.9

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.

The table above represents categorization of measurement of the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities.

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.

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. In

September 2014 the option matured with the changes of fair value of EUR 7 million recorded as financial income and expense.

Deferred consideration and loan extension options to TP Vision were included in level 3 in 2013. In May, 2014 Philips transferred the loans from TP Vision to TPV Technology Limited. As a result, the extension options ceased to exist with the changes of fair value of EUR 13 million recorded in the profit and loss.

The table below shows the reconciliation from the beginning balance to the end balance for fair value measured in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

LOGOLOGO Details of treasury / other financial risks

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risks. This note further analyzes financial risks. Philips does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Information regarding financial instruments is included innote 30,29, 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, 2014,2016, Philips had EUR 1,8732,334 million in cash and cash equivalents (2013:(2015: EUR 2,4651,766 million), within which short-term deposits of EUR 1,0571,299 million (2013:(2015: EUR 1,714855 million) and other liquid assets of EUR 12153 million (2013:(2015: EUR 18171 million). Philips pools cash from subsidiaries to the extent legally and economically feasible; cash not pooled remains available for Company’s operational or investment needs by the Company.needs.

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, 2014,2016, 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 7536 million of equity investments inavailable-for-sale financial assets (fair value at December 31, 2014)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, 2014,2016, a lossgain of EUR 1310 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges. The result deferred in equity will be released to earnings mostly during 20152017 at the time when the related hedged transactions affect the

income statement. During 2014,2016, a net gainloss of EUR 15 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, 20142016, was an unrealized liabilityasset of EUR 2715 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the euroEUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 9698 million in the value of the derivatives; including a EUR 7346 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the US dollarUSD against the euro,EUR, a EUR 1418 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the Japanese yenJPY against euro,the EUR, a EUR 1410 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the Pound sterling, partially offset byGBP against the EUR and a EUR 465 million decreaseincrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the euroAUD against the US dollar.EUR.

The EUR 9698 million increase includes a gain of EUR 2818 million that would impact the income statement, which would largely offset the opposite revaluation effect on the underlying accounts receivable and payable, and the remaining gain of EUR 6880 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, 20132015, was an unrealized asset of EUR 4417 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the euroEUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 6366 million in the value of the derivatives; including a EUR 5625 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the US dollarUSD against the euro,EUR, a EUR 1518 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the Pound SterlingGBP against euro,the EUR, a EUR 1314 million increase related to foreign exchange transactions of the Japanese yen,JPY, and a EUR 7 million increase related to PLN. This was partially offset by a EUR 4534 million decrease related to foreign exchange transactions of the euroEUR 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 periodcurrent-period change, before tax, of the currency translation reserve of EUR 6001,234 million relates to the positive impact of the weaker EUROEUR 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 and to a lesser extent to other currencies such as the CNY, GBP and INR.USD.

As of December 31, 2014 cross currency2016, cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts with a fair value liability of EUR 655726 million and external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 4,059 3,774

million were designated as net investment hedges of our financing investments in foreign operations. During 20142016 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, 2014,2016, was a liability of EUR 623728 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the euroEUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 30153 million in the value of the derivatives, including a EUR 32362 million increase related to the US dollar.USD.

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 4,1045,606 million, which created an inherent interest rate risk. Failure to effectively hedge this risk could negatively impact financial results. Atyear-end, Philips held EUR 1,8732,334 million in cash and cash equivalents, and had total long-term debt of EUR 3,7124,021 million and total short-term debt of EUR 3921,585 million. At December 31, 2014,2016, Philips had a ratio of fixed-rate long-term debt to total outstanding debt of approximately 85%70%, compared to 80%68% one year earlier.

A sensitivity analysis conducted as of January 20152017 shows that if long-term interest rates were to decrease instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2014,2016, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the long-term debt would increase by approximately EUR 342260 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 341259 million.

If interest rates were to increase instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2014,2016, with all other variables held constant, the annualized net interest expense would decrease by approximately EUR 137 million. This impact was based on the outstanding net cash position at December 31, 2014.2016.

A sensitivity analysis conducted as of January 20142016 shows that if long-term interest rates were to decrease instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2013,2015, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the long-term debt would increase by approximately EUR 317303 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 251302 million.

If interest rates were to increase instantaneously by 1% from their level of December 31, 2013,2015, with all other variables held constant, the annualized net interest expense would decreaseincrease by approximately EUR 181 million. This impact was based on the outstanding net cash position at December 31, 2013.2015.

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 some publicly listed companies, including TPV Technology Limited.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 such financial assets amounted to approximately EUR 1235 million atyear-end 2014 (2013: 2016 (2015: EUR 7175 million). Philips does not hold derivatives in its own stockshares or in the abovementionedabove-mentioned listed companies. Philips is also a shareholderhas shareholdings in several privately-owned companies amounting to EUR 117105 million. As a result, Philips is exposed to potential value adjustments.

Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices.

Philips is a purchaser of certain base metals, precious metals and energy. Philips 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 2014,2016, Philips does not have any outstanding commodity derivatives.

As of December 2015, a loss of EUR 0.70.2 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, 20142015, would increase the fair value of the derivatives by less than EUR 0.70.1 million.

As of December 2013, a loss of EUR 2.2 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, 2013 would increase the fair value of the derivatives by EUR 1.4 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, 2014,2016, the Company had country risk exposure of EUR 8.510.5 billion in the United States, EUR 2.6 billion in Belgium and EUR 1.8 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 Germany (EUR 775 million), Japan (EUR 671 million), United Kingdom (EUR 709625 million), Belgium (EUR 523 million) and JapanPoland (EUR 576508 million). Countries where the risk exceeded EUR 300 million but was less than EUR 500 million are Germany, Malaysia, PolandSaudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia.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

In 2010 Philips sold its entire holding of common sharesLimited in NXP Semiconductors B.V. (NXP) to Philips Pension Trustees Limited (herein referred to as “UK Pension Fund”). The purchase agreement with the UK Pension Fund included an arrangement that entitled Philips to a cash payment from the UK Pension Fund on or after September 7, 2014, if certain conditions were met. As of December 31, 2013, management’s best estimate of the fair value of the arrangement was EUR 7 million. At the date of expiration on September 7, 2014 the arrangement did not represent any value. The decline in fair value in 2014 is reported under value adjustments in the table above.

Current financial assets

The amount of EUR 121 million relates to loans issued to TPV Technology Limited. These loans are due in 2015 and have therefore been reclassified from non-current to Current financial assets.91 million.

We are independent of Koninklijke Philips N.V. in accordance with the “Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance- opdrachten” (ViO)(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)(VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Materiality

Misstatements can arise from fraud or errors and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

Based on our professional judgment we determined the materiality for the financial statements as a whole at EUR 80 million. Materiality is based on sales, as we consider this benchmark to be the most relevant given the nature of the business and size of the Company and approximates 0.4% of sales.

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 misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users of the financial statements.statements for qualitative reasons.

We agreed with the Supervisory Board that misstatements in excess of EUR 43 million, which are identified during the audit, would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view mustshould be reported on qualitative grounds.

Scope of ourthe group audit

Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) is at the parent companyhead of the Philips Group (the Group).a group of entities. The financial information of the Group is included in theconsolidated financial statements of Koninklijke Philips N.VN.V. represents the financial information of this group.

ConsideringFollowing our ultimate responsibility forassessment of the opinion, we are responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In this context,risk of material misstatement to Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s consolidated financial statements, we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be performed for group entities (components). Decisive factors were the significance and / or the risk profile of the components. On this basis, we selected the12 components for which required an audit of the complete financial information (Full Scope Components) and 36 components requiring audit procedures on specific account balancebalances or specified procedures had to be performed. Furthermore, we have determined the audit procedures that we perform at group level, sector level andconsidered had the potential for the greatest impact on the significant accounts in the Finance Operations centers.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.

We scope components to be involved with the audits of account balances into the group audit where account balances are of significant size, have significant risks of material misstatement to the Group associated with them or are considered significant for other reasons. Where this doesdid not give adequate quantitative coverage of significant account balances, we useused our judgment to scope-inscope additional procedures on account balances or requestrequested the component auditors to perform additional specified procedures.procedures (Specified Procedures). As a result of our scoping of the complete

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 specified audit procedures on 90% of the goodwill account balance and limited procedures on the remaining of the goodwill account balance.

For income taxes, we have identified 10 entities in the group for which we performed an audit of account balances and/or specified procedures at the component level. These 10 entities represent 90% of the income tax accounts deferred tax assets and income tax provisions. The remaining population is covered by limited procedures performed centrally by the group auditor.teams

For revenue recognition, we have identified 31 entities in the group for which we performed an audit of account balances and/or specified procedures at the component level. These 31 entities represent 58% of sales. This scope is extended by specified procedures on sales performed centrally, representing an additional 17% of sales resulting in a coverage of 75% of sales. The remaining population is covered by limited procedures performed.

For contingent liabilities and provisions from legal proceedings, we have applied a centralized audit approach with specified audit procedures performed by the component auditors. Our audit procedures cover 96% of the recognized legal claim provision and all significant legal proceedings without a legal claim provision recognized.

Audits of account balances or specified procedures were performed to materiality levels, the majority of which were based on the relevant local statutory audit materiality which is considerably lower than Group materiality. In the other cases, componentComponent materiality was determined by our judgment, based on the judgmentrelative size of the group auditor, having regard to the materiality for the financial statements as a wholecomponent and the reporting structure within the Group.our risk assessment. Component materiality did not exceed EUR 4030 million and the majority of our component auditors applied a component materiality that is significantly less than this threshold.

The group auditorComponent 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 (which included the relevant risks of material misstatement detailed above) and set out the information required to be reported to the group auditor.us. Based on our risk assessment, the group auditorwe visited component locations in the U.S.A., China, Germany, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Japan, Panama, SingaporeHong Kong, Germany, Russia, Italy, India, and Singapore. These visits encompassed some, or all, of the USA. Most of our component auditors visitedfollowing activities:co-developing the Netherlands in 2014 to attend our global audit conference, which is held every three years, to discuss the Group audit, risks,significant risk area audit approach, reviewing key local working papers and instructions.

Telephone calls were also heldconclusions, 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 auditorscomponent teams where appropriate during various stages of components that were both physically and not physically visited. During these visits and meetings, the audit, approach, findingsattended in person or via conference call, Full Scope Component and observations reported tocertain Specific Scope Component closing meetings, reviewed key working papers and were responsible for the group auditor were discussed in more detail.

We have used other auditors forscope and direction of the audit process. For the audit of components outside The Netherlands. Lumileds and the Automotive businesses, classified as discontinued operations, we have used the work ofnon-EY auditors.

By performing the procedures mentioned above at components, combinedgroup entities, together with additional procedures at group level, sector level and at Finance Operations centers, we have been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regardingabout the group’sGroup’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.

TheseKey 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.

Finance Transformation

The Company continued to implement its global Accelerate! initiative, which includes a Finance Transformation program. The Finance Transformation has a significant impact on the Company’s business processes, control activities and internal control responsibilities. We focused on the Finance Transformation as part of our audit because there is a significant risk that a material misstatement could occur if the program was not implemented with proper oversight and a focus on maintaining effective internal controls throughout the process.

Our audit procedures included, amongst others, meetings with the Board of Management and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board on a regular basis during the year to understand and monitor the effects of changes to the Company’s internal control environment, across the organization. We performed site visits in three major geographic regions to test the effectiveness of controls impacted by the Finance Transformation and instructed our component auditors globally to perform procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that a material misstatement did not exist in the financial statements as a result of the program. We also tested monitoring activities executed at different levels of the organization designed to ensure continued effectiveness of the internal control framework during the Finance Transformation.

Valuation of goodwill

Under EU-IFRSs, the Company is required to test the amount of goodwill for impairment, both annually and if there is a trigger for testing. The impairment tests were significant to our audit due to the complexity of the

assessment process and significant judgments and assumptions involved which are affected by expected future market or economic conditions. At December 31, 2014,

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 amounted to EUR 7.2 billion.

Our audit procedures included, amongst others, the involvement of a valuation expert to assist us in evaluating the assumptions and methodologies used by the Company, in particular those relating to the compound sales growth rate and pre-tax discount rate. The cash flow projections, mainly for Healthcare cash-generating units – Respiratory Care & Sleep Management, Imaging Systems, and Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions and Lighting cash-generating units – Professional Lighting Solutions and Consumer Luminaires have been assessed and challenged by us, and includes an assessment of the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and evaluation of business plans. Based on the impairment test, it was noted that with regard to the headroom for cash-generating unit Consumer Luminaires, the estimated recoverable amount approximates the carrying value of the cash- generating unit. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in Section 12.9, Note 11 Goodwill relating to those assumptions to which the outcome of the impairment test is most sensitive, that is, those that have the most significant effect on the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill.

Accounting for income tax positions

Income tax was significant to our audit because the assessment process is complex and the amounts involved are material to the financial statements as a whole. The Company has extensive international operations and in the normal course of business makes judgments and estimates in relation to tax issues and exposures resulting in the recognition of other tax liabilities. At December 31, 2014, the net deferred tax assets are valued at EUR 2.4 billion and the other tax liability related to tax uncertainties is valued at EUR 499 million.

We have tested the completeness and accuracy of the amounts reported for current and deferred tax including the assessment of disputes with tax authorities. In this area our audit procedures included, amongst others, assessment of correspondence with the relevant tax authorities, testing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls around the recording and continuous re- assessment of the other tax liabilities, and the involvement of our local component auditors including tax specialists in those components determined to be the regions with significant tax risk. In respect of 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 through taxable income in the countries where the deferred tax assets originated and during the periods when the deferred tax assets become deductible. During our procedures, we used amongst others budgets, forecasts and tax laws and in addition we assessed the historical accuracy of management’s assumptions. We also assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure included in Section 12.9, Note 8 Income taxes in respect of income tax positions and uncertain tax positions.

Revenue recognition

Sales contracts for certain projects in the Healthcare and Lighting sectors typically involve multi-element contracts, for example a single sales transaction that combines the delivery of goods and rendering of services, and involve separately identifiable components that are recognized based on relative fair value. This gives rise to the risk that sales could be misstated due to the complexity of the multi-element contracts and the incorrect valuation of the relative fair value elements. Sales in the remaining sectors are generally recognized when the risks and rewards of the underlying products have been transferred to the customer and tend not to have multiple deliverable elements. There is a risk that sales may be deliberately overstated as a result of management override resulting from the pressure management may feel to achieve planned results. The management of the Group focuses on sales as a key performance measure which could create an incentive for sales to be recognized before the risks and rewards have been transferred.

Our audit procedures included, amongst others, assessing the appropriateness of the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies including those relating to multi-element contracts and assess compliance with the policies in terms of EU-IFRS. We tested the effectiveness of the Company’s controls over calculation of rebates, fair value determination of multi-element sales contracts, and the correct timing of revenue recognition. We also assessed sales transactions taking place before and after year-end to ensure that revenue was recognized in the correct period and assessed the accuracy of the sales recorded, based amongst others on inspection of sales contracts, hand over certificates and hours reported after recognition of revenue. We have assessed the appropriateness of management’s response to indications of improper revenue recognition and performed additional work where considered necessary. We also assessed the adequacy of the sales disclosures contained in Section 12.9, Note 2 Information by sector and main country and Note 6 Income from operations.

Contingent liabilities and provisions from claims, proceedings and investigations

The Company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings as well as investigations by authorities. 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 financial position, results of operations and cashflows, resulting in the identification of a significant financial statement risk.

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.

The accounting

Taxes - Valuation of deferred tax assets and liability for (contingent) liabilities from claims, proceedingstax 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 investigations is complex and judgemental,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.

12.1 Approach to sustainability reporting

In 1999 Philips published itshas a long tradition of sustainability reporting, beginning with our first environmental Annual Report.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 performanceReport. As a next step, in addition to our environmental results.

In 2008, we decided to publish an integrated financial, social and environmental report, reflecting 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.report. For more information, please refer to chapter 4, Our strategic focus, of this report.thecompany’s website.

This is our seventhninth annual integrated financial, social and environmental report which has been prepared in line with the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Integrated Reporting <IR> framework.(IR) framework and includes a visualization of ourvalue creation process.

Philips publishes itsLighting’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 derive significant value from our diverse stakeholders across all our activities and engage with, listen to and learn from them. Working in partnerships is crucial in delivering on our vision to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. When appropriate and relevant to our business, weWe incorporate their feedback on specific areas of our business into our planning and actions. In addition, to engagement with our customers, our suppliers, employees, investors, local communities and governments and non-governmental organizations, we participate in meetings and task forces as a member of organizations including the WBCSD, World Economic Forum, WBCSD, Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) 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 2014.2014 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.

In addition to face-to-face meetings, webinars and social media channels provide us with ongoing feedback on our strategy, performance and emerging topics. Our sustainabilitye-mail account(philips.sustainability@philips.com) enables stakeholders to share their issues, comments and questions with the sustainability team. As described in the Materiality section below, various stakeholder groups have been invited to provide input to the materiality analysis.

12.1.3 Reporting standards

In this report, we have followed relevant best practice standards and international guidelines; the IIRC Integrated Reporting <IR> framework and the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

Sustainability is integrated in our company strategy and embedded in the organization. We have developed a value creation model (section 4.2, How we create value, of this report), includingprepared the six capitals,integrated annual report in line with the <IR> framework.International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Integrated Reportingframework.

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 atindicators can be found in the end ofGRI content index on oursustainability website. Next, we developed additional company specific indicators. The information on definition and measurement can be found in this section.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.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.

12.1.4 Material aspectstopics and our focus

We identify the environmental, social, and governance aspectstopics which have the greatest impact on our business and the greatest level of concern to stakeholders along our value chain. These direct or indirect aspects may represent opportunities and risks and influence our ability to create, preserve or erode economic, environmental and social value for our stakeholders and Philips. Assessing these aspectstopics enables us to prioritize and focus upon the most material issuestopics and effectively address these in our policies and programs as well as measure and understand their implications in financial and non-financial terms.programs.

Our materiality assessment is based on an ongoing trend analysis, media search, and stakeholder input. In 2014, we have broadened our approach by asking a large group of stakeholders (incl. customers, suppliers, investors and NGOs) to evaluateThe results for Royal Philips are reflected in the materiality of a long-list of aspects.matrix below.

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.

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 more specific exit information on Philips employees as from 2014. Historical comparisons may not be available, however.2014 onwards.

Until 2016, Philips reported on Green Product sales. Due to the change in our businesses, we changed this in 2016 to Green Revenues, 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 20142016, emission factors for CO2 were not updated. In 2015 however, the latestemission 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) natural gas. Lastly, all scope 3 emission factors for business travel and logistics were updated from a bespoke emission factor has been appliedset to the 2014 reporting period. ThisDEFRA guidance as well. The latter has had an upward impact year-on-yeareffect on our CO2scope 3 emissions, of some 0.6%.ranging from 15% to 32% in the 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.

In line with the discontinuedDiscontinued operations presentation in the Group financial statements regarding the Lumileds and Automotive business, we have excluded this data from the consolidated Sustainability data if relevant.data. Where the impact of the exclusion was material, we clearly disclosed the impact.

Prior-period sustainability data have been restated where relevant for the treatment of the Lumileds and Automotive business as discontinued operations. As a result, baseline adjustments have been made for Lives Improved, Energy Efficiency, Carbon Footprint and environmental indicators (energy, water, waste and emissions).

12.1.8 Data definitions and scope

Lives improved energy efficiency and materials

The Key Performance Indicators on ‘lives improved’, ‘energy efficiency’ and ‘materials’ and the scope are defined in the respective methodology documents that can be found atwww.philips.com/sustainabilityMethodology 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.

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 20142016 were: Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Ukraine,Russia and Russia.Ukraine.

 

Suppliers of new ventures are included to the extent that the integration process of these ventures has been finalized. NormativeThe 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 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 GreenSustainable Operations program 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. 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

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.

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.

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 Involvement Program), manufacturing (Green Manufacturing 2015)(Sustainable Operations) and Logistics (Green Logistics) and projects like the Circular Economy initiative.

TheIn Royal Philips, the Sustainability Board is the highest governing sustainability body in Philips,and is chaired by Jim Andrew,the Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer and member of the Executive Committee. Three other Executive Committee members sit inon the Sustainability Board jointlytogether with sectorsegment 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.

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 2014the Netherlands, for example, we implementedrun a brief, complementary, team-focused survey called My Accelerate! Survey (MAS).

The format and set of questions in the MAS allowed a shift of accountability to where it has the biggest impact – at individual team level. The MAS survey, which measures the quantitative data on team effectiveness, helps our leaders to increase team performance through structural interventions and actions.

Whilst the MAS results are not directly comparable(Werkgelegenheidsplan, or Philips Employment Scheme), to our historical matrix of Employee Engagement, we see that 83% of our (targeted) employees provided a favorable answer to the transformation journey question: “In my team we role model the Philips behaviors”. There was also an increase in areas concerning “Speed of decision making”, resulting in an overall score of 77% favorable answers across the Philips population.

In terms of results, the MAS indicates very high favorable scores within the set of questions referring to Alignment (“How clear are we about customer needs and business priorities?”) and Execution (“How good are we at getting things done?”).

There are also some improvement areas, particularly within the questions categorized under Renewal (“How do we stay effective and adapt”). These improvement areas are structurally addressed by our leadership teams.

The MAS is proving to be a very lean and effective diagnostic in increasing effectiveness and the team’s capacity to solve challenges as and when they occur.

14.2.2 People development

The creation of the Philips University in itself is a great example of raising quality and user friendliness through a central approach of standardization, simplification and innovation, offering world-class learning interventions, supported by one central Learning Management System and accessible through the personalized University Portal.

Over 400 new courses are available including 24 flagship programs on the new Learning Management System. By year-end, all Philips employees with an e-mail account had access to the Philips University, there were close to 2,000 active courses, and some 280,000 enrolments.

As part of our Accelerate! transformation, we are developing our Philips Excellence capabilities globally to deliver faster and better to our customers. Embracing continuous improvement and learning is a fundamental element of our Philips Business System. Philips University underpins our ambition to become operationally excellent by supporting learning and building of Lean capabilities including Continuous Improvement, Change Management, Process Management, Project Management and Performance Management.

The Leadership Academy delivered a simplified and comprehensive system of leadership development initiatives specifically structured to develop a long term leadership pipeline at all levels and across all parts of Philips and to help deliver the business transformation. It significantly boosted the focus on women in leadership, diversity and inclusion via the ‘Next Generation Women’s Leadership’ and ‘Leading Across Cultures’ programs.

The award winning Harvard Manage Mentor leadership suite was also introduced, with more than 9,000 learners registered and more than 17,000 management learning experiences completed.

Transformation and change

In 2014, we continued our commitment to strengthening our leaders’ and our teams’ transformational capabilities to drive change in the organization. As part of this commitment, over 1,400 leading executives have participated in our Accelerate! Leadership Program (ALP) since the start of the program in 2011. In addition to the ALP, the Accelerate! Team Performance (ATP) is a key team effectiveness session designed to accelerate the adoption of new ways of working by addressing behavioral shifts. In 2014 alone, more than 230 teams and 4,000 participants took part in an ATP session, which also reached more than 4,000 employees via viral sessions.

To further enhance team performance, we have continued to build the capability of internal facilitators from the business to deliver our ATP programs. To date, we have trained and certified a total of 80 facilitators, 30 of whom were certified in 2014. We have begun developing a Team Performance Toolkit of simple, accessible tools from the ATP, which managers and team members can apply themselves. This Toolkit will be introduced in 2015.

Other programs

In The Netherlands a special employment progeram called Werkgelegenheidsplan (WGP) is running. Via this WGP, we offer vulnerable groups of external jobseekers a work experience placement, usually combined with some kind of training. The program startedSince the scheme’s launch in 1983, and over 12,500nearly 13,000 people have participated, since.

By identifying the roles and experiences critical to our business strategy, we clarify development areas and transferrable skills in support of talentcross-functional, lateral, traditional, as well asnon-traditional career opportunities for our people.

Philips’ talent management approach is to continuously build and develop its existing employees, while strategically buying talent where competency areas can be strengthened. In 2014, we recruited talent both internally and externally into over 10,000 vacancies. With an increasing trend, nearly one thirdAs of those vacancies were filled with internal candidates, and the remainder filled with qualified talent from the external labor market.

In 20142017 we activated our global Employer Value Proposition by leveraging our recently re-positioned “Innovation and You” brand platform, aligned with audience insights to raise awareness and preference. For employer brand updates and company content, visit thePhilips LinkedIn Careers page.

As part of its global Talent Acquisition strategy, Philips seeks to attract talent from proven high quality sources. In 2014, the top 5 sources of hire were:will drive further initiatives focused on:

 

Philips employee referral – Historical data has proven thatStrengthening the top performing hires for Philips are those referred by its own employees. Philips engages its employees to share their network through a formal employee referral program which generates close to 30% of its total hires each year.employee-and-manager career partnership with clear accountabilities

 

Internal hire – Embedded within the Accelerate! Transformation is a stated cultural imperative to embed a growthEquipping managers as effective career coaches who will have transparent career dialogues with their team, with differentiated development for deep specialists and performance culture and facilitate a mobile, diverse workforce. As a result, Philips filled nearly one third of its vacancies with internal top performers each year.

Proactively sourced by recruiter – Philips has a dedicated in-house sourcing function that focuses solely on building proactive talent pipelines and requires all its recruitment professionals to contribute to the proactive identification of passive industry talent.

Digital career channel (job board, social media site,etc.) – In line with the company’s overall focus on increasing its digital footprint, Philips’ recruitment marketing team invested more heavily in its digital footprint in 2014. As a result, Philips increased its LinkedIn Talent Brand Index by 2.1% and delivered over 1,000 hired candidates.

14.2.410% 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

AIn 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 sites showed outstandingLost 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 performance, for exampleimprovements, 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 Healthcare Pune siteUSA. 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 India, which reached a significant milestonetotal injuries by achieving over 2 million man-hours without an LWIC by the end of 2014 (over 2 years without an accident). The Consumer Lifestyle facility in Varginha, Brazil achieved 4 years without an LWIC by the end of 2014.2020.

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 achievedshowed an overall improvement while recording 71 LWIC compared to 119 in 2015. As a strong decline in reported accident rates in recent years. In 2014, the number of LWIC decreased to 132, compared with 165 in 2013. The LWIC rate decreased to 0.37, compared with 0.42 in 2013. The number of Lost Workdays decreased by 3% to 4,700 days. One major achievement was a zero level of LWIC at 12 significant industrial units (over 100 FTEs) in 2014. Efforts are being made to further reduce these rates through an emphasis on prevention and Behavior-Based Safety, supported by senior management involvement.

In 2014, Health and Safety management in Turnkey Lighting projects was a key focus area. A Health and Safety global framework has been launched to support and provide training for project managers and their teams in the commercial organizations, including contractors. This framework will continue to be rolled out in 2015.

Healthcare

The Health and Safety performance of Healthcare was relatively stable in 2014. The number of LWIC andresult the LWIC rate remained constant comparedimproved to 2013 at 72 and 0.2 respectively. However, the total number of Lost Workdays decreased by 10% year-on-year to 2,242 days. Healthcare continued to focus0.22 (0.34 in 2015). In 2016, Lighting had 156 reportable cases. Lighting introduced a new safety program in 2015 focusing on Health and Safety improvement actions within their Field Service Organization (FSO), including the launch of a formalized Health and Safety management framework as well as the deployment of renewed targeted trainings for high-risk areas such as radiation and electrical safety. FSO Lost Workdays decreased to 33% of the Sector total compared with 37% in 2013, although the number of LWIC increased to 31 from 28 in 2013.preventing injuries.

14.2.512.3.5 General Business Principles

In 2014 393 GBP complaintsA total of 503 concerns were filedreported over the course of 2016 via the Philips Ethics Line and thethrough our network of GBP Compliance Officers. Compared with 2013 (335 complaints), this representsOfficers, 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 17%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 overall number of concerns can primarily be attributed primarily to significantly more concerns being reported in Latin America (more specifically in Brazil), which now account for 30%the North American (NA) region, making up 38% of the total number of reports (2013: 17%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, and the Middle East (18%& Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) remained quite stable, representing 20% and 23% of the total) also showed an upwardtotal 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 absolute numbers. Innumber of cases reported, EMEA there were 44% more complaints than in 2013. This overall increase is believedand APAC have now reached the same level as Latin America. We believe this to be dueas a result of significant communication efforts in addition to our Global GBP Communications campaign, especially in the intensive communication campaigns to increaseAPAC region, improving employees’ awareness of employees’their rights with regard to the GBP, as well as toand the reporting facilities that are available to them. The number of complaints in the Asia Pacific region (17% of the total) decreased compared with 2013, making the current percentage more comparable with that in 2012 (18%). In North America the absolute number of complaints declined somewhat, accounting for 35% of the total number in 2014 (2013: 43%). We believe the continued dominance of North America and, since the beginning of 2014, Latin America as well, is due to the employees’ very high level of awareness of compliance issues and their ability to assert their rights in this respect.

The most common types of concerns are listed below.

Treatment of employeesAnnual Report 2016      219

As in other years, the most commonly reported concern related to the Treatment of employees, and accounted for 52% of the total. The vast majority of these complaints can be classified as either ‘Equal and fair treatment’ or ‘Respectful treatment’, and together they accounted for 81% of employee-related concerns.


Sustainability statements 12.3.5

Concerns that fall under ‘Equal and fair treatment’ related primarily to favoritism, discrimination and unfair treatment. More than 33% of these reports originated in the United States, with a further 20% being reported in Brazil. Looking at the ‘Respectful treatment’ category, which concerns primarily reports of verbal abuse, (sexual) harassment and a hostile work environment, again about one third of the complaints originated in the US, with another third coming from Brazil. Some 58% of all complaints filed in Brazil related to these two topics. For the US, this was 50%.

Business integrity

The second most-reported topic, which accounted for 28% of all reported cases, was Business integrity (2013: 33%). The majority (40%) of these concerns originated in the Asia Pacific region, followed by Europe and the Middle East (34%), Latin America (15%) and North America (11%).

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

Out ofOf the 393 concerns503 cases reported in 2014, 1332016, 137 are still pending closure, especiallyin particular those that were filed towards the end of the year. The table below shows a comparison between those complaints which, after investigation, could be substantiated and those that could not.

Outgives an overview of the 260 complaints investigated, 27% were substantiated after investigation. This is approximately the same level as in 2013 (28%) and 2012 (26%). Also, looking at the various types of issue, there were no striking differences in the percentage of substantiated complaints compared to 2013. The biggest difference is the number of reported concerns that were substantiated Business integrity complaints, which now stands at 36% compared(i.e. found to 50% in 2013.

Substantiated complaints, i.e. complaints in whichconstitute a breach of our General Business Principles was detected,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.

14.2.6 Thedevelopment and social entrepreneurship, as well as in our approach towards disaster relief. Royal Philips Foundation

In 2014,and Philips establishedLighting supported the program of the Philips Foundation with a new initiative dedicateddonation 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 helping enable lastingbring their ideas for solving social changeproblems 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 disadvantaged communities throughathree-day summit where the provisionsocial entrepreneurs were able to pitch their impact plans to a large group of senior experts, such as social investors, public sector representatives and application of innovation, talent and resources provided by Philips. Together with key non-profit partners, the Philips Foundation seeks to identify challenges where a combination of Philips expertise and partner experience can be used to create meaningful solutions that improve people’s lives. The Philips Foundation will provide the vehicle for the Corporate Social Responsibility and social investment program of Philips going forward.executives.

During 2014, the Foundation developed its strategy, governance and operational structure. It established its first strategicWe additionally worked on strengthening our partnerships with the International Red Cross and UNICEF with the aim of co-creating innovative solutions for disaster relief and community development and supporting social entrepreneurship. In addition to programs with these global partners, the Foundation will fund local projects run by the Philips markets that are in line with the Foundation strategy. The Foundation also stepped up to coordinate Philips’ contribution to the international fight against Ebola. It provided the opportunity for employees to make a donation to support the work of the Red Cross in West Africa and doubled the amount raised to almost EUR 60,000. Furthermore, several products were donated in response to requests from the Red Cross and other NGOs.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.

14.2.7Examples 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

Working in partnershipsOur engagements with various partners and stakeholders is crucial in delivering onessential to our vision to makeof making the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. A numberSome of our partnershipspartnership engagements are described below.

Strategic PartnerGlobal partnerships

World Economic Forum

Philips is proud to continue as a strategic partner and active member of the World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum engages business, political, academic and other (WEF), an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders of societyin partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendasagendas. We supported and participated in an informal, action focused way. Philips is now entering its third year as Strategic Partner.

2014 wasa wide range of initiatives and projects through the year Philips substantially strengthened its position in Digital Innovation, Internet of Things and Emerging Technologies. Moreover, health care gained a more prominent place on the global economic agenda at– regional WEF creating many opportunities for Philips in building new relationships and strengthening our business in a transformational industry. The Sustainable Development Agenda was discussed at WEFevents, as well Philips welcomesas the opportunity to contribute to these discussions and shapeparticipation in International Business Council of the global agenda.World Economic Forum.

Despite the impact of geo-politics on the global economic agenda, our engagements contributed substantiallyFurther to our objectives of positioning Philips as technology leader in Health & Sustainability, gaining new insights that are relevant for future business, and creating new business opportunities.

Cross-sector collaboration to drive the Circular Economy transformation

For a sustainable world, Philips sees the transition from a linear to a circular economy (CE) as a necessary boundary condition. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. To promote cross-industry and cross-sector collaboration, Philips joins forcesvarious engagements with thought leaders and conveners. One such initiative is Project Mainstream, driven by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the WEF, and McKinsey. Frans van Houten ishas 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 Steering Board and leads the work stream Asset-tracking.

challenges. The paper has been widely distributed internally to all of Philips businesses to stimulate innovation activities across the company.

Every Woman Every Child pledge

In 2014, Philips has pledged its support to the United Nations global initiative “Every Woman Every Child”. With a special focus on sub-Saharan AfricaGlobal Alliance for Vaccines and South East Asia, we aim to improve the lives of at least 100 million women and children by 2025 in these regions by committing to the following:

Deliver the next generation of care for mothers and their children by improving healthcare infrastructures, transformation and revitalization, clinical education and skills training.

Provide better access to health care and create solutions which enable healthier and safer living. Examples include clean cooking stoves, automated respiration monitors, eHealth and mHealth solutions.

Promote healthy and nutritious diets for mothers and children, understanding barriers to breastfeeding and supporting breastfeeding in the workplace.

Collaborating on locally relevant innovation in AfricaImmunization

The Philips Africa Innovation Hub in Nairobi, Kenya, is our base for creating locally relevant innovations and business models. The Innovation Hub employs African talents and operates on the concept of open innovation, working in close collaboration with the R&D ecosystem of Kenya and Africa.

In order to strengthen primary care in communities, it developed the concept of Community Life Centers (CLCs), a community hub where technology is bundled with services: solar power, indoor and outdoor LED-lighting, health care equipment, laboratory equipment, refrigeration, IT-solutions and water supply and purification. In 2014, the first center was opened in Kenya, which now delivers two babies per day, and receives 13 times more patients than before. Key for success was close co-creation with the local government and involvement of community members. CLC was realized in close public-private partnership with the County Government of Kiambu in Kenya. We also involved community members in the assessment and design in order to create ownership. Health care workers at the site were empowered through clinical coaching and education.

Philips entered a partnership with the South-Africa based non-profit organization PET (PowerFree Education Technology) to further develop, test and commercialize a Wind-Up Doppler Ultrasound Fetal Heart Monitor, a unique, power-independent clinical innovation aimed at addressing the high rates of preventable infant mortality across Africa, designed specifically for low resource settings. Further developed by the Philips Africa Innovation Hub, the Wind-up Fetal Doppler is a device to detect a slowing of the fetal heart rate while the mother is in labor, an important indicator that the fetus is not receiving enough oxygen and may suffer brain damage or die. If this is detected early enough, a midwife or delivering nurse can take the necessary actions to save the child.

Philips and the Medical Credit Fund, partGlobal 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 PharmAccess Group, started a partnership is to gather accurate data which both organizations believe is essential to improve patient outcomes, provide access to qualitycare 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 in Africa. Throughtechnologies. The Future Health Index measures readiness to address these challenges by examining perceptions about the partnership smallaccessibility and medium-sized private clinics in Africalevel 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 have access to financing for innovative medical technologies and services from Philips, which is often difficult to obtain from banks due to the high investment risks. The Medical Credit Fund works with African banks to provide these clinics with affordable loans, combined with management training and a quality improvement program, which enhances trustcontinue its engagement in the clinics among both 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 financial institutions.sustainability of health systems.

Working on global issues

In 2014, Sustainable Development Goals

Philips continued its engagementaspires to be a major private sector contributor to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were launched during the UN General Assembly in a numberNew 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 international conferences, events and partnerships that are focused on sustainable development and climate change. The eventsPhilips is committed to working closely with all relevant stakeholders to develop solutions to address these.

Strengthening primary care and conferences include the UN Climate Summit organized by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moonenabling community development

Working in New York, the World Summit of Regions organized by Regions20 in Paris, as well ascollaboration with the United Nations Climate Change ConferencePopulation Fund (UNFPA), Royal Philips plans to inaugurate a Community Life Center (CLC) in Lima, Peru. Most notably we wereMandera, a co-founder of the Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform that was announced at the UN Climate Summit.

The Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform is a multi-stakeholder partnership between the UN (Sustainable Energy for All - SE4All), (sub)national governments and progressive companies. The objective is to double the rate of Energy Efficiency improvement from the current bandwidth of 1 to 1.5% towards 2.5 to 3% per year. Such doubling of the rate of energy efficiency improvement is a potent driver of economic development (creating jobsCounty in the renovation of city infrastructure and reducing budget deficits), as well as in significantly reducing carbon emissions.

On partnerships the UNEP En.lighten initiative continues to gain traction. Philips isNorth-Eastern Kenya with one of the foundersworld’s highest maternal mortality rates - 3,795 per 100,000 live births. The project supported by the County Government of this public private partnership where now 66 emergingMandera 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 developing countries haveenhance 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 phase out incandescent lamps by 2016. This program as well assupporting the Global Energy Efficiency AcceleratorFinancing 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 further develop towards COP21 in Paris in December 2015.

With The Climate Group a global ‘LED city consultation program’ was launched at WEF in Davos in January. This is a follow-through of The Climate Group’s ‘Light Savers’ program that has piloted LED street lighting in 12 cities in all regions (including Sydney, Kolkata, London, NYC, Toronto,achieve greater impact and Rio de Janeiro) which results were published in partnership with Philips Lighting at Rio+20. The LED City consultation process is identifying and addressing the (remaining) hurdles in

the accelerated transition to LED street lighting. Workshops held in 2014 included London, Dubai, Singapore, Austin (Texas), Sao Paulo, and Beijing.better health outcomes through collaboration.

Innovation Experience

Philips organized Innovation Experiences in 2014 in Eindhoven, Dubai and Zurich which were attended by over 2,000 journalists, customers, scientists, partners and employees.

At the event Philips explored how technology can make our homes healthier and more tailored to our lifestyles, how cloud-based solutions can provide care across the health continuum and connect the patient from the hospital to their home, and how personalized digital solutions can help people living with disabilities or chronic diseases manage their condition from the comfort of their own home.

We firmly believe that these challenges can only be addressed through Open Innovation and constructive dialogue with all stakeholders involved.

14.2.812.3.8 Supplier indicators

In addition to our own sustainability activities, we also engage our suppliers and their suppliers toward better sustainability practices. To that end, we are active in various supply chain initiatives around the world.

Philips has a direct business relationship with approximately 10,0008,500 product and component suppliers and 30,00022,000 service providers. Givenproviders, and in many cases the size and complexity ofsustainability issues deeper in our supply chain require us to intervene beyond tier 1 of the chain.

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, 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 systemthorough analysis of regular audits.

We rolled-out the Declaration via the purchasing contracts signed with suppliers, and via all trainings and audits.

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 mostthe data it generated in the past 10 years our main conclusions were:

The audit process consists of thesea 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 tier 1 suppliers. However, sometimesfocused 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 also selectsidentified a need for change and prescribesdeveloped a new “beyond audit” approach which:

Understands that suppliers may have initial deviations from the tier 2SSD 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 casewere 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 tier 220 suppliers.

These 20 suppliers will alsostarted 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 includedpossible 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 audit program.new SSP approach and we aim to identify if and how the manufacturing sites are managing process chemicals.

SupplierSummary of 2016 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, 576 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 99% of all identified risk suppliers.

On top of the audits with current risk suppliers, we also audited 3528 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.

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 and don’twho do not have - or have resolved all - major NCs. During 20142016 we achieved a compliance rate of 90% (2015: 86% (2013: 77%).

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 2014 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:

Certified management system (missing certificate for one or more of these systems: ISO9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS18001)

Audits and assessments (no regular self-assessments and follow-up done by supplier)

Audit progress and targetsSummary of 2016 audit findings per region

 

2014 GoalsProgress

75% of corrective actions implemented within 90 days (for major NCs found in 2014 audits)Average NC closure time was around 6 months, mainly due to longer resolution times for working hour issues. Before closing working hours NCs Philips requires at least 3 months’ time records

2015 Goals

Improve H&S performance of suppliers with 10%

Implementing corrective actions

On average we see 11 major NCs per supplier audit (2013: 12) 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 3 suppliers in 2014.

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.

Collaboration Philips, IPE and suppliers

Next to the supplier sustainability audits that we perform at our suppliers, we also look at insights from external stakeholders to help monitor the performance of our suppliers. For example, we work with the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE) who publishes a map of Chinese factories linked to water and air pollution. When we know that one of the mentioned factories is a Philips supplier, we will inform that company to implement corrective actions and will ask IPE to perform a third-party assessment to verify adequate resolution of the issues. By working this way, in we effectively resolved a case of water pollution at a supplier in Guangdong province, China.

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.

We provide classroom training sessions for suppliers, Philips sustainability experts regularly visit suppliers to provide on-site consultancy and training, and we invite

228      Annual Report 2014


Sustainability statements 14.2.8

suppliers to participate in trainings provided by the EICC. Since 2012 we extended our capacity building initiatives which are offered to help suppliers improve their practices, and we have organized 24 training sessions on the EICC Code of Conduct which were attended by more than 500 Chinese suppliers. We continued our training programs for Philips buyers and quality managers, supporting them to further integrate sustainability in their daily work with suppliers.

To address emerging issues we also provide in-depth capacity building programs to our suppliers on specific topics. These are the highlights from 2014:

China Health and Safety Program - In August 2014 we kicked-off a program to improve supplier’s health and safety management. It addresses the underlying fundamentals to structurally improve health and safety for workers, e.g. by establishing the necessary management commitment and cultivating a ‘safety first’ culture. Together with 7 pilot suppliers we developed scorecards to measure progress at their production sites. The program now reaches 7,000 workers and will be scaled up in the coming years.

Dust Explosion and Prevention - Our safety scans identified 30 suppliers with an unacceptable high safety risk related to dust explosion. We worked on raising awareness with these suppliers, provided training and coaching, and carried out targeted follow-up inspections to ensure suppliers put in place proper controls.

Fire Safety - On Philips request, 20 large warehouse suppliers started with monthly self-assessments to improve the fire safety conditions at their storage facilities.

Supplier Sustainability Communication Platform - To intensify the transfer of sustainability knowledge and best practices sharing between suppliers, we rolled out an Internet-based information sharing platform. It connects environmental and Health & Safety officers, human resource managers and general managers from 500 suppliers.

IDH Electronics program

Since 2011 Philips has been an active initiator and participant in theIDH 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 jointly 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 factory management and employees, such as worker-management communication, occupational health and safety, production, performance management and environmental issues. This is then used to develop a tailor-made action plan with each supplier, based on improved dialogue 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, Philips, and IDH.

In 2013, the program was extended from the Pearl River Delta Area to include the Yangtze River Delta area. Next to Philips, also Apple, Nokia, Dell and Hewlett-Packard and their suppliers are participating in the program. As of year-end 2014, 54 suppliers participate including 21 Philips suppliers.

Example: IDH case study

N is a Philips supplier participating in the IDH Electronics program since 2013. During their Entry Point Assessment, it quickly became clear that N’s workers and management prioritized two topics: low worker satisfaction and high worker turnover rates. With the help of IDH, the management and workers jointly developed an action plan around three main themes:

Worker-management dialogue - A worker representative team was elected to help bring messages from the factory floor to top management, including improvement recommendations and worker concerns

Worker well-being - Workers designed and implemented a canteen improvement program

Working environment - Implementing the 5S methodology to organize the work space for efficiency and effectiveness, including professional working skills training

During the implementation of above actions in 2014, worker satisfaction increased and N’s management team became increasingly enthusiastic to continue the program in 2015 as worker turnover rates started to decrease and production efficiency improved.

Addressing issues deeper in the supply chain

Conflict free minerals

Responsible sourcing of minerals is an important part of our supplier sustainability commitment and we implement measures in our chain to ensure that our products are not directly or indirectly funding atrocities in the DRC. Philips works towards the following goals:

Stop 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?

Tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold are used in many different products such as cars, planes, chemicals, jewelry, packaging, and electronics equipment. They come from mines around the world, including mines in the DRC which are estimated to provide 18% of global tantalum production and 2-4% of tin, tungsten, and gold. In the Eastern parts of the DRC a decade-long civil war is continuing. Illegal armed groups control mines and transit routes and use mining profits to fund their violent operations.

The Conflict Free Tin Initiative

Although the DRC 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 to take the more difficult road, supporting the verifiably conflict-free sourcing from the DRC.

To promote cooperation and economic growth in the DRC region outside the control of the rebels, we launched the Conflict-Free Tin Initiative in 2012 in collaboration with the Dutch Government and other industry partners. This initiative introduced a tightly controlled conflict-free supply chain of tin from a mine in the DRC all the way down to an end-product. The initiative expanded to other mines in the DRC this year and received additional funding from the Dutch Ministry to continue for the next few years. In 2014 we took the decision to include this tin in the regular supply of solder, meaning it is now contained in many different Philips products sold globally.

Conflict-free minerals policy and Supply chain due diligence

Philips has committed not to purchase raw materials, subassemblies, or supplies which we know contain conflict minerals.

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 DRC or elsewhere,conflict-affected and high-risk regions, and the supply chain for these metals consists of many tiers, including mines, traders, exporters, smelters, refiners, alloy producers and component manufacturers, before reaching Philips’ direct suppliers.

Cooperation amongstMining in these different tiersregions 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.

Therefore minerals.

Philips continued itsapplies collective cross-industry leverage through active contribution to theengagement via Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative which brings together the electronics, automotive and other industries to jointly improve conditions in the extractives industry (www.conflictfreesourcing.org)(CFSI). We also continued our engagement with relevant other stakeholders including the European Parliament and local as well as international NGOs.

LOGO

In 2014 we continued our work with 392 priority suppliers – including 13 from discontinued operations – to raise awareness and conduct supply chain investigations into the metal’s country of origin. These suppliers were selected based on largest purchasing spend and metal usage. The Philips conflict minerals support center helps suppliers in undertaking this sometimes daunting task to investigate their long and complex supply chains. We work with suppliers to clarify our expectations, provide support and training, and share our experience and best practices.

We requested our suppliers to adopt and implement a conflict-free minerals policy, to investigate their supply chain and to disclose to us which smelters are used in their supply chains to produce the metals. We carefully reviewed the information received from each supplier, and requested follow-up in case of inconsistent or incomplete answers. The main challenges for suppliers were lack of awareness, limited insight and cooperation at suppliers deeper in the supply chain in order to identify smelters, and the adoption and roll out of a conflict-free supply chain policy.

In line with the US Dodd-Frank Act, we published the first Philips conflict minerals report in June 2014, describing our due diligence process and results. We engaged external auditors to perform an independent private sector audit on this report. Amongst thousands of companies that published their first year reports, Philips is one of only 4 companies that chose to do this voluntary audit.

“I’m impressed that Philips went beyond expectations with its first Conflict Minerals Report, and pleased that the company took a number of actions we consider ‘leading practice’. Philips detailed the supply chain due diligence it undertook, published a list of its identified smelters, and was one of only four companies that had its report independently audited.”

Responsible Sourcing Network

Progress identification conflict-free smelters

Smelters mix minerals from many sources and refine them 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 Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) identifies smelters that can demonstrate through an independent third-party assessmentaudit that the minerals they procure are conflict-free. During 2014 impressive progress was made in validating additional conflict-free smelters, from 64 to 121. As sufficient conflict-free smelters for all four metals become available,conflict free. Philips will directis 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.

After having identified smelters in our supply chain, we published oursmelter list. Back in 2012 Philips was the first company to make its smelter list public. We did this to drive awareness and create a call for action for smelters and all users of these metals. We regularly update the Philips smelter list with new information received from our suppliers. We request the identified smelters to participate in the CFSP.

So far, a total of 257 smelters are included in the Philips smelter list. Majority of these smelters are located in Asia, especially China. 45% (116) of the identified smelters in our chain completed the Conflict-Free Smelter audit (2013: 29%). Within the group of smelters that successfully passed their conflict-free smelter audit, 14 smelters were sourcing conflict-free minerals from the DRC region.

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. Philips is alerted by reports about environmental and social issues associated with this tin production. It is reported that the intensity of

In 2015, a Roadmap to sustainable tin mining was created in collaboration with the illegal small-scale miners and the irresponsible way it is carried out cause environmental devastation and safety risks for miners.

Philips does not directly source tin from Indonesia and there are typically 7 or more tiers in the supply chain between a mine and a Philips supplier. Nevertheless, in 2013 we decided to investigate how we can support the move towards more sustainable mining practices in Indonesia.

We teamed up with other frontrunner companies, the tinlocal industry and civil society ingovernment, defining improvement areas for onshore land reclamation and offshorelow-impact mining.

In 2016, the Indonesian Tin Working Group (TWG), coordinatedfirst implementation pilot projects of the Roadmap were kicked off, governed by the local steering committee.

In 2014 the TWG entered the next phase which was co-funded by IDH, Philips and other TWG members. By working with local stakeholders we aim to support Indonesian Government, businesses and civil society efforts, to better formalize Indonesian tin production, make it economically beneficial for local communities, and to reduce negative social and environmental impacts.

“Philips was one of the first companies to step up and show their commitment to supply chain responsibility by working on improving conditions at the deepest level of the supply chain, mineral sourcing.

Other sustainability initiatives in our supply chain

Carbon footprint of our supply chain

To understand the climate change impact of our supply chain, Philips has undertaken two initiatives:

1.

In 2014, we engaged with Trucost to quantify the carbon emissions in our supply chain. Based on supplier spend data analysis by Trucost and extrapolation, estimated CO2 emissions from purchased goods and services were at approximately 4,200 kilotonnes for the year 2013. This is nearly triple the Philips operational carbon footprint as presented in this report.

2.Using the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) we gain insights into supplier’s climate strategy and carbon footprint to jointly work on reducing emissions in the supply chain. To address our supply chain footprint, we work with first-tier manufacturing and transportation-related suppliers.

Annual Report 2014      233


Sustainability statements 14.2.8

CDP supply chain

In 2014 we extended theCDP Supply Chain program to involve an increased number of suppliers by selecting additional suppliers based on spend and expected footprint reduction potential. As a result, we almost doubled the number of suppliers that reported on their carbon footprint and reduction progress. A total of 128 suppliers participated in the CDP Supply Chain program, covering 25% of our procurement spend.

CDP Action Exchange

Having more insight in supplier’s carbon emissions is a first but important step. The next step is footprint reduction by identifying the most impactful interventions in the supply chain. TheCDP Action Exchange program supports this second step by connecting suppliers to globally recognized solution providers in the field of energy efficient technology. Philips is a founding member of the CDP Action Exchange program, driven by a willingness to increase focus on energy efficiency in Philipsgold supply chain and to support identify the right approach for the parties to address the most severe issues.

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”

This year we invited 76 suppliers with the highest CO2 reduction potential into the CDP Action Exchange program. 24 of these suppliers committed to participate and submitted the necessary information.Terre des Hommes

Supplier energy scanNGO

As part of the CDP Action Exchange program we piloted a new initiative: the energy scan. This on-site assessment by CDP and the Institute for Industrial Productivity (IIP) looked at energy use, emissions reduction and energy efficiency opportunities and was performed at two supplier facilities in China. The identified savings opportunities are mainly related to optimized energy (re)use and installing more energy efficient technology. The identified energy cost savings potential lies in the range of 3 to 8% with a typical payback period of 1 to 1 1/2 year.

Going forward we plan to extend the CDP Supply Chain and Action Exchange programs to an increasing number of suppliers and to offer more suppliers energy scans, with the ambition to further reduce our supply chain carbon footprint.

4. Circular Procurement

A key driverPhilips’ 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 thePhilips’ transition towards a circular economy lies within procurement (see sub-section 14.3.1, EcoVision, of this report). in order to achieve the 2020 target or even exceed this.

Topics where Procurement is actively involved are:

Circular procurement is about making the right choices early on, in the procurement process,policy. The next step is to enable reuse of materials at the end-of-use stage. In 2014 initial thoughtsdefine a circular procurement strategy and ideas were captured to start making the transition to circular procurement. The expected areas of increased value include:

Extended and intensified long term business relationships with suppliers and customersa clear long-term ambition.

 

Innovative business models addressing accessThe implementation of a governance structure beyond the procurement organization to services and products insteadcover the whole value chain is part of ownershipthe internal Circular Economy Excellence network.

2015 Goals

Start 2 circular procurement projects

Train 40% of procurement commodity teams on circular procurement

Process chemicals

In the production process of our products different chemicals are used which can potentially cause environmental and health hazards when used incorrectly. In 2014 we started a new initiative striving to eliminate the usage of hazardous process chemicals in our supply chain and – when no alternatives are available – to minimize the health risks for workers dealing with these chemicals. Philips initiated a new EICC taskforce on process chemicals in the supply chain, which had its start-up meeting in October 2014 in San Francisco.

Objectives of the taskforce are:

Ensure a safe working environment in supplier factories

Develop and define one common industry approach to eliminate hazardous process chemicals

Define and maintain one list of “process chemicals of concern” that can be used across different industries, including a plan for substitution or elimination

Maintain an active multi-stakeholder dialogue with NGOs and authorities, and share best practices and results

We will initially focus our efforts on high-risk production processes, including e.g. component manufacturing, sub-assembly and finished goods assembly. A detailed work plan including milestones will be provided by the EICC task force beginning of 2015.

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.

Our latest EcoVision program, includes key performance indicators in relation to Green Product sales, Improving people’s lives, Green Innovation, Green Operations, Health & Safety, Employee Engagement and Supplier Sustainability.

Improving people’s lives

At Philips, we strive to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. Our goal is to improve the lives of 3 billion peopleThe transition from a year by 2025.

Through Philips products and solutions that directly support the curative or preventive side of people’s health, we improved the lives of 670 million people in 2014, driven by our Healthcare sector. Additionally, our well-being products that help people live a healthy life, and our Green Products that contributelinear to a healthy ecosystem, improvedcircular economy is essential to create a sustainable world. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the livesuse of 290 millionnatural resources and 1.5 billion people respectively. After the elimination of double counts – people touched multiple times – we arrived at 1.9 billion lives. This is an increase of 200 million compared to in 2013.

Examples of products in the ‘well-being’ category that help people live a healthier life are juicers, blenders, air fryers, but also mother and childcare products. Examples of Green Products, products offering a significant environmental improvement in one orecosystems by using these resources more Green Focal Areas, can be found in sub-section 5.3.2, Green Product sales, of this report. Further details on this parameter and the methodology can be found in the document ‘Improving people’s lives’.effectively.

The circular economy program

The circular economy program inat Philips has been runningran for its secondthe fourth year in 20142016 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.

1.Philips takes advantage of the global partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation which includes the CE100 events and education. But also partnerships with Circle Economy Netherlands, Turntoo, World Economic Forum and The Guardian support Philips to take a leading position in driving circular thinking. For example, the opening of the Philips Healthcare Refurbishment factory was followed by a panel discussion on circular economy with Philips, IBM, Ricoh and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

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

 

2.Through internal events, presentations, brochures, internal communications, social media, etc. Philips’ employees are inspired and stimulated to start or become involved in circular economy projects. For example, during the Philips Innovation Experience the circular economy framework was explained in detail and demonstrated.

Annual Report 2016      227


Sustainability statements 12.4.1

 

3.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). To measure progress, a circular economy scorecard has been developed. For example, various Light-as-a-Service projects have started in different areas of the world like in Washington DC with lighting in parking garages of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

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:

 

4.As the circular economy touches many different business areas (strategy, design, business development, marketing, finance, etc.) it is important to have the right processes and procedures developed and embedded throughout the company. This is done as part of the development of the Philips Excellence Process Framework.

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.

Operational carbon footprint and energy efficiency – 2014 details

Our operational carbon footprint in 2014 amounted to 1,375 kilotonnes CO2-equivalent, a reductionAt Philips Lighting, circular economy activities are covered as part of 36% compared to our 2007 baseline and close to our 40% reduction target for 2015. The 2014 results can be attributed to several factors:

Accounting for 35% of the total footprint, total CO2 emissions from manufacturing decreased due to operational changes and decreased energy usage, due to lower load, with an increased share coming from renewable sources. The decrease was in part offset by new acquisitions reporting for the first time.

CO2 emissions from non-industrial operations (offices, warehouses, etc.) represent 9% of the total. The overall floor space in our real estate portfolio increased by 2%. As a result, emissions increased slightly compared to 2013. In 2015 we will continue to focus on the most efficient use of facility space and increase the share of purchased electricity from renewable sources.

Sustainability statements 14.3.112.4.2

 

The total CO2 emissions related to business travel, accounting for 17% of our carbon footprint remained stable compared to 2013. This is mainly attributable to the success of our Green Lease Car policy, as emissions from lease cars decreased by 7%. This mitigated the increase of 5% in our air travel emissions.

Overall CO2 emissions from logistics, representing 39% of the total, decreased slightly by 1% compared to 2013. We recorded an increase of emissions coming from air and parcel freight. However, reduced emissions from road and ocean freight resulted in a downward change for logistics as a total. Due to operational changes, data availability for our road freight activities of Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare in the APAC region was limited. Therefore, this year we have had to estimate emissions based on revenue trend. During 2015 we will find a suitable solution to ensure data availability.

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 progress was made on biodiversity management, both on sites (e.g. impact measurement), on natural capital valuation and on theat management level. Most initiatives were led by the Philips Leadersenvironmental coordinators at our sites, for Nature (LFN) team, site management, local sustainability organizations worldwideexample at our Best and Group SustainabilityDrachten sites in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. 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 governments together to workserve as role models on the topic of business and biodiversity. Next, we made intensive use

Philips participated in 2015 in the development of the internal company-wide social network platform to createNatural Capital Protocol and sharevolunteered as a pilot company. These activities and achievements including training programs.

In 2014 a biodiversity impact assessment was performed for all our industrial sites, using the geo-locations of these sites and the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT). For every industrial site the nearest Key Biodiversity Area or IUCN protected area was determined as well as the distance to such area. After further validation with our industrial site staff, it appeared that only our Glemsford (UK) site is located within a radius of 1 kilometer from such an area, the Glemsford Pits, but has no impact on its biodiversity. The results of our assessment for all industrial sites can be found atwww.philips.com/sustainability.

Philips continued in 2014 to work with Trucost and performed an Environmental Profit and Loss (EP&L) analysis to help identify natural capital dependency “hot spots” and place a financial value on Philips environmental impacts.2016. The environmental impact of the Royal Philips itselfsites is limited as the company isthey are not very energy intensiveenergy-intensive and isdo not emittingemit large quantities of high impacthigh-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 at insub-section 14.2.8, 12.3.8, Supplier indicators, of this report. In this Annual Report, Philips has also followed the IIRC Integrated Reporting <IR> framework which includes natural capital as a source of value creation. Together with the WBCSD we are further developing the EP&L concept and methodology, including the environmental benefits.

Energy use in manufacturing

Total energy usage in manufacturing amounted to 11,2578,987 terajoules in 2014,2016, 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 74%. Compared to 2013, energy consumption at Philips went down by 6%. This was mainly driven by a decreasereduction of activities in high energy intensiveenergy-intensive operations in Lighting, organizational changes, 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 new acquisitions reporting for the first time.energy efficiency improvements. The energy use of our discontinued operations amounted to 2,1602,231 terajoules in 2014 (2013: 2,1972016 (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

CO2 emissions decreased significantly at HealthcarePhilips Lighting due to reduced energy usage resulting from operational changes and energy efficiency improvements and increasedimprovements. Emissions at the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses decreased due to an increase in use of electricity generated by renewable sources; this was however partly mitigated by new acquisitions reporting for the first time.

At Consumer Lifestyle, CO2 emissions decreased due to the energy saving programs which more thansources, partially offset the increase caused by two new reportingnewly acquired sites. LightingThe Connected Care & Health Informatics businesses segment decreased its CO2 emissions due to lower loadenergy consumption. At the Personal Health businesses, CO2 emissions increased due to a decrease in the use of energy intense activities, organizational changes and using more electricity generated by renewable sources.

Lead and lead compounds

The very limited increase from 1 kiloVOC emissions reduced significantly in 20132016 (by 24%) to 8 kilos in 2014 in lead emissions were the result129 tonnes. This decrease was mainly driven by a number of adjustmentsindustrial sites in the calculation method.

PFCs

PFCs were only usedPersonal Health businesses segment, which changed their lacquering processes, as well as changes in Lumileds sites. As a resultthe product mix. This was slightly offset by the inclusion of the exclusion of Lumileds and Automotive, Philips does not report any PFCs in 2014. Emissions by Lumileds were 3,392 kilos in 2014, a reduction of 36% compared to 2013.

Toluene

The emission of toluene, mainly used in wet lacquers, decreased by 86% in 2014 largely as a result of phase out programs in 2two newly acquired industrial sites in Consumer Lifestyle.

Xylene

The use of xylene decreased by 18% in 2014 due to the reduction in use of specific lacquers and thinners in Consumer Lifestyle combined with portfolio changes in Lighting.

Styrene

Two new reporting sites in Consumer Lifestyle emitted some 3,000 kilos of styrene which was mitigated by the termination of activities of a Lighting site in the USA.

Antimony, Arsenic and their compounds

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 growth

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. 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.

Adjusted IFO

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 IFO represents income from operations before amortization and impairment of intangible assets generated in acquisitions (excluding software and capitalized development expenses).

Net Operating Capital (NOC)

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

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.

Free Cash Flow

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, proceeds from sale 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.

The statements below are only a general summary of certain material Dutch tax consequences for holders of common shares that 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 the common shares should consult their own professional tax advisor.

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

In this respect, it is noted that as per 1 January 2015, the election regime will be replaced by a mandatory qualification as a ‘qualifying foreign tax payer’ on the basis of certain objective criteria.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 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

Investor Relations 17.7

requirements. Dividends paid with respect to the common shares generally will be qualified dividend income1)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 euro payments made, determined at the spot 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 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 maximum 20%preferential tax rate.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 “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”.

17.814.8 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.

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 2014sites 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).

Philips has physical market presence in over 100 countries, which are grouped into 17 market clusters. Our primary operating modus is the Business Market matrix comprising Business Groups and Markets. These Business Market Combinations (BMCs) drive business performance on a granular level at which plans are agreed between global businesses and local market teams.

Brominated flame retardants (BFR)

Brominated flame retardants are a group of chemicals that have an inhibitory effect on the ignition of combustible organic materials. Of the commercialized chemical flame retardants, the brominated variety are most widely used.

CO2-equivalent or carbon dioxide equivalent is a quantity that describes, for a given mixture andtransform input data (for example, amount of greenhouse gas, the amount oftonne-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 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)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), when measured overconsisting of a specified timescale (generally 100 years).mix of modalities, and was added to the total emissions accordingly.

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)

A chlorofluorocarbon is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane and ethane. CFCs were originally developed as refrigerants during the 1930s.

Circular economy

A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. By definition it is a driver for innovationnot included in the areas of material-, component-data for sea and product reuse, as well as new business models such as solutions and services. In a Circular Economy, the more effective use of materials enables to create more value, both by cost savings and by developing new markets or growing existing ones.

Comparable salesroad distribution.

Comparable sales exclude the effect of currency movements and acquisitions and divestments (changes in consolidation). Philips believes that comparable sales information enhances understanding of sales performance.

Continuing net income

This equals recurring net income from continuing operations, or net income excluding discontinued operations and excluding material non-recurring items.

Dividend yield

The dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by Philips’ market capitalization. All references to dividend yield are as of December 31 of the previous year.

EBITA

Earnings before interest, tax and amortization (EBITA) represents income from continuing operations excluding results attributable to non- controlling interest holders, results relating to investments in associates, income taxes, financial income and expenses, amortization and impairment on intangible assets (excluding software and capitalized development expenses). Philips believes that EBITA information makes the underlying performance of its businesses more transparent by factoring out the amortization of these intangible assets, which arises when acquisitions are consolidated.

The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition was established in 2004 to promote a common code of conduct for the electronics and information and communications technology (ICT) industry. EICC now includes more than 40 global companies and their suppliers.

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.

An energy-using productSustainability 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.

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.

(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

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.

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 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.

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


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.

GRIin 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.

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).

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

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.

Annual Report 2016      215

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.

Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

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 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.

LOGO

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.

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 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

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.

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).

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

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 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

“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”.
