# 1Introduction

This document contains information required for the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the 2021 Form 20-F). Reference is made to the Form 20-F cross reference table herein. Only (i) the information in this document that is referenced in the Form 20-F cross reference table, (ii) this introduction and the cautionary statement “forward-looking statements” on the next two pages and (iii) the Exhibits shall be deemed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for any purpose. Any additional information in this document which is not referenced in the Form 20-F cross reference table, or the Exhibits themselves, shall not be deemed to be so incorporated by reference, shall not be part of the 2021 Form 20-F and is furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission for information only.

### References to Philips

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

### IFRS based information

The audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, included in the 2021 Form 20-F have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU). All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective 2021 have been endorsed by the EU; consequently, the accounting policies applied by Philips also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting policies have been applied by group entities. Comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation (for more information, please refer to Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale).

### Use of non-IFRS information

In presenting and discussing the Philips financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain financial measures that are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS (‘non-IFRS’). These non-IFRS measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measure and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Reference is made in Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.

### Third-party market share data

Statements regarding market share, contained in this document, including those regarding Philips’ competitive position, are based on outside sources such as specialized research institutes, industry and dealer panels in combination with management estimates. Where full year information regarding 2021 is not yet available to Philips, market share statements may also be based on estimates and projections prepared by management and/or based on outside sources of information. Management's estimates of rankings are based on order intake or sales, depending on the business.

### Documents on display

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

# 2Forward-looking statements

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

This document, including the information referred to in the Form 20-F cross reference table, contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Philips and certain of the plans and objectives of Philips with respect to these items, in particular, among other statements, certain statements in Item 4 “Information on the Company” with regard to management objectives, market trends, market standing, product volumes, business risks, the statements in Item 5 “Operating and financial review and prospects” with regards to trends in results of operations, margins overall market trends, risk management, exchange rates, the statements in Item 8 “Financial Information” relating to legal proceedings and goodwill and statements in Item 11 “Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risks” relating to risk caused by derivative positions, interest rate fluctuations and other financial exposure are forward-looking in nature. Forward-looking statements can be identified generally as those containing words such as “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “should”, “will”, “will likely result”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “projects”, “may” or similar expressions. By their nature, these statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances and there are many factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.

These factors include but are not limited to: Philips’ ability to gain leadership in health informatics in response to developments in the health technology industry; Philips’ ability to transform its business model to health technology solutions and services; macroeconomic and geopolitical changes; integration of acquisitions and their delivery on business plans and value creation expectations; securing and maintaining Philips’ intellectual property rights, and unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property rights; ability to meet expectations with respect to ESG-related matters; failure of products and services to meet quality or security standards, adversely affecting patient safety and customer operations; breach of cybersecurity; ability to execute and deliver on programs on business transformation and IT system changes and continuity; the effectiveness of our supply chain; attracting and retaining personnel; COVID-19 and other pandemics; challenges to drive operational excellence and speed in bringing innovations to market; compliance with regulations and standards including quality, product safety and (cyber) security; compliance with business conduct rules and regulations; treasury and financing risks; tax risks; reliability of internal controls, financial reporting and management process.

As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future results to differ from such forward-looking statements, reference is made to the information in Risk factors.

# 4Message from the CEO

### Dear Stakeholder,

Amidst the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on society, 2021 was an eventful and challenging year. Our continued strategic progress and strong growth in the first half of the year were overshadowed by the unprecedented scale of the global supply chain disruptions in the second half of the year, as well as the Philips Respironics voluntary field action to remediate the component quality issue in certain of its products.

The intensified global supply chain headwinds and postponement of customer equipment installations due to COVID-19 presented challenges to fully convert our opportunities to revenue in the second half of the year. These factors, combined with the sales consequences of the recall, resulted in full-year sales of EUR 17.2 billion, down 1% year-on-year.

As we work to overcome these headwinds and look to the future, I am very encouraged by the underlying performance of our businesses. Our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Personal Health businesses performed well in 2021, recording 8% and 9% comparable sales growth*) respectively. Following in the wake of 2020’s high COVID-19-related demand for hospital ventilation and monitoring & analytics solutions, our Connected Care businesses posted a 23% decline in comparable sales in 2021, which also reflects the effect of the Philips Respironics recall.

We have strengthened our portfolio through our R&D programs, partnerships, and acquisitions. The relevance of our innovative products and solutions and customer interest in partnering with Philips, is underscored by the 4% growth in comparable order intake, resulting in an order book that is 18% higher year-on-year.

Nevertheless, I would like to emphasize that I very much regret the impact of the Philips Respironics recall on patients, care providers and shareholders. We identified – through our post-market surveillance processes – that the sound abatement foam used since 2008 in certain of our sleep and respiratory care products may degrade under certain circumstances. Subsequently, we issued a voluntary recall notification for affected devices to address potential health risks. We have ramped up production, service and repair capacity to ensure patients receive a repaired or replacement device as fast as possible.

As of January 2022, Philips Respironics has shipped a total of approximately 750,000 repair kits and replacement devices to customers and aims to complete the repair and replacement program in the fourth quarter of 2022. In close dialogue with regulators across the world, we are conducting a comprehensive test and research program to better characterize health risks. In parallel, we have captured and applied learnings from this recall across the entire company, as patient safety, quality and integrity are of the utmost importance to us.

#### Continued progress on strategic roadmap

In 2021, we saw sustained traction for our strategy to help transform the delivery of care across the health continuum, and our innovative portfolio resonates very strongly with customers.

Inspired by our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being, we innovate solutions that deliver meaningful impact. In the consumer domain, for instance, our new Sonicare 9900 Prestige electric toothbrush leverages AI to optimize the user’s brushing technique, ensuring full coverage of their teeth, and instills brushing habits that improve oral health.

For healthcare providers, our innovative solutions – smart combinations of systems, devices, software and services – help them deliver on the Quadruple Aim of better health outcomes, improved patient and staff experience, and lower cost of care:

- Giving clinicians smart connected imaging tools like our new Spectral CT 7500 system, which deliver high-quality spectral images for every patient on every scan, helping them make precision diagnoses without the need for multiple re-scans. Or our new MR 5300 1.5T ‘helium-free for life’ system, which combines operational and clinical excellence with reduced environmental impact.

- Enabling real-time, remote collaboration between technologists, radiologists and imaging operations teams across multiple sites with our vendor-neutral, multimodality Radiology Operations Command Center.

- Helping surgeons in the interventional lab perform personalized, minimally invasive procedures with solutions like our Azurion next-generation image-guided therapy platform, which was further expanded with breakthrough applications in 2021.

- Enabling healthcare professionals to orchestrate care delivery, also for patients recovering at home, with connected care solutions like our Patient Flow Capacity Suite, which helps hospitals manage the complete patient journey, and Acute Care Telehealth, which builds on our successful Tele-ICU solutions.

We signed 80 long-term strategic partnerships with hospitals and health systems around the world in 2021, underlining customers’ appreciation of our holistic approach to healthcare. Solutions-based sales and recurring revenues continue to generate a growing proportion of total sales, with the figure now standing at around 45%. In order to maintain the strong flow of health technology innovations going forward, we invested EUR 1.8 billion in R&D in 2021.

#### Major divestment completed, acquisitions to drive future growth

In September, we completed the sale of the Domestic Appliances business to Hillhouse Investment, concluding our line of major divestments. We believe this will allow us to focus on extending our leadership in health technology solutions.

To support future growth and the delivery of data-enabled care across care settings, we again invested significantly in our data science, informatics and cloud technology capabilities in 2021. The acquisitions of BioTelemetry, Capsule Technologies and Cardiologs (the latter completed in January 2022) strengthen our position in patient care management in the hospital and the home. In January 2022, we also closed the acquisition of Vesper Medical, further expanding our image-guided therapy devices portfolio with venous stents.

#### Delivering on our ESG commitments

We reached 1.67 billion people with our products and services in 2021, including 167 million in underserved communities – taking us a step closer to our goal of improving 2 billion lives per year by 2025, including 300 million in underserved communities.

We continued to deliver on the other key commitments set out in our Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) framework. We are already carbon-neutral in our operations and are now engaging with suppliers and customers to reduce emissions across our entire value chain, as well as driving the transition to a circular economy.

We again received recognition for our sustainability efforts in 2021 – achieving a CDP ‘A List’ rating for the ninth consecutive year for our climate action, and securing second-highest place in the global Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) list.

#### Looking ahead

We continue to invest in the future, further improving operational excellence and growing our core business, while driving our transformation into a digital, customer-first solutions company. I am very confident in our ability to overcome our current challenges. Against this background, and reflecting the importance we attach to dividend stability, we propose to maintain the dividend at EUR 0.85 per share.

Based on good customer demand and our growing order book, we expect to resume our growth and margin expansion trajectory in the course of 2022. In the short term, however, we continue to see significant volatility and headwinds related to COVID-19 and supply chain challenges, despite our ongoing mitigation efforts. Due to this, the Respironics field action and the strong growth in Q1 2021, we expect to start the year with a comparable sales decline, followed by a recovery and strong second half of the year. For the full year, we target 3-5% comparable sales growth*) and a 40-90 basis-points improvement in Adjusted EBITA*) margin.

#### In closing

I would like to thank our customers, suppliers and partners for their continued support over the past 12 months. And a special word of thanks to our employees for their fantastic contribution through another year of often difficult working circumstances due to the pandemic.

I would also like to express my appreciation to our shareholders for the confidence they continue to show in Philips’ long-term future. This is a future founded on purpose and the robust, growing demand for health technology, which Philips will serve with a relentless focus on customer needs, its strong portfolio of innovations, and an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.

# 6Strategy and Businesses

## 6.1Driven by purpose

At Philips, our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation is at the center of everything we do. This core principle has never been more important than it is in these challenging times.

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

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

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

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

#### Our view on healthcare

Besides the healthcare sector's natural drivers of growth – aging populations, the rise of chronic diseases, increased spending on healthcare in emerging markets – we believe that health technology will be a major growth driver in the years to come.

At Philips, we see healthcare as a continuum – this puts people’s health journeys front and center and enables integrated care pathways. Believing that healthcare should be safe, seamless, efficient and effective, we strive to ‘connect the dots’ for our customers and consumers, supporting the flow of real-time data needed to provide precision diagnoses, treatment and chronic care for patients.

Going forward, we believe the digital transformation of healthcare and – accelerated by COVID-19 – the increasing adoption of virtual care, or ‘telehealth’ will play a major role in helping people to live healthily and cope with disease, and in enabling care providers to meet people’s health needs, deliver better outcomes and improve productivity.

#### Helping our customers address their healthcare challenges

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

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

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

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

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

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

###### Diagnosis & Treatment

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

###### Connected Care

Driving better care management by providing a wealth of actionable data about patients' condition and hospital operations, and seamlessly connecting patients and caregivers in any care setting from the hospital to the home

###### Personal Health

Delivering propositions that help people enjoy healthier lifestyles and enhance personal hygiene

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

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

Based on good customer demand and our growing order book, we expect to resume our growth and margin expansion trajectory in the course of 2022. In the short term, however, we continue to see significant volatility and headwinds related to COVID-19 and supply chain challenges, despite our ongoing mitigation efforts. Due to this, the Respironics field action and the strong growth in Q1 2021, we expect to start the year with a comparable sales decline, followed by a recovery and strong second half of the year. For the full year, we target 3-5% comparable sales growth* and a 40-90 basis-points improvement in Adjusted EBITA*) margin.

## 6.2How we create value

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

## 6.3Materiality analysis

We identify the environmental, social, and governance topics which we believe have the greatest impact on our business and the greatest level of concern to stakeholders along our value chain. Assessing these topics enables us to prioritize and focus upon the most material topics and effectively address these in our policies and programs. Philips’ impact on society at large is covered through our Lives Improved metric and the Environmental Profit & Loss account.

Our materiality assessment is based on an ongoing trend analysis, media search, and stakeholder input. In 2021, we solicited input from a diverse group of external and internal stakeholders, including investors, NGOs, customers, suppliers, peer companies, academia, and senior management in Philips. Similar to 2020, we used an evidence-based approach to materiality analysis powered by Datamaran. By applying Datamaran’s automated sifting and analysis of millions of data points from publicly available sources, including corporate reports, mandatory regulations and voluntary initiatives, as well as news and social media, we identified a list of topics that are material to our business. With this data-driven approach to materiality analysis we have incorporated a wider range of data and stakeholders than was ever possible before and managed to get an evidence-based perspective on regulatory, strategic and reputational risks and opportunities. Public health risks emerged as a new material topic in 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was again included in 2021.

### Changes in 2021

In 2021, the topic of Human rights & responsible supply chains was split into two separate topics, considering the growing importance of both. Next, Responsible tax practices was carved out from the Business ethics & General Business Principles topic due to the growing importance of the topic in society. On the external view, the most significant increase compared to 2020 is climate change. The internal view saw a significant increase in importance on climate change, circular economy and employee rights.

Our materiality assessment has been conducted in the context of the GRI Sustainable Reporting Standards and the results have been reviewed and approved by the Philips ESG Committee.

### 6.4.2Connected Care businesses

Spanning the entire health continuum, the Connected Care businesses help broaden the reach and deepen the impact of healthcare – with solutions that unite devices, informatics, data and people across care networks. In this way, Philips connects patients and caregivers across care settings, delivering clinical, operational and therapeutic solutions that help our customers address the Quadruple Aim of better health outcomes, improved patient and staff experience, and lower cost of care.

In 2021, Connected Care continued to play a crucial role in fulfilling patient and customer needs created by the COVID-19 global pandemic – delivering core systems such as patient monitors, supporting the expansion of telehealth for the ICU, providing ventilators and oxygen, and delivering remote patient care safely.

COVID-19 continues to accelerate the digital transformation of healthcare, enabled by, for example, cloud and SaaS offerings. Increasingly, our customers need to support the transition of care, in the hospital and from the hospital to the home, making virtual care services an essential part of healthcare delivery. At the same time, they want to be able to unlock data siloes and translate data into clinical and operational insights to support better outcomes. And they want to leverage automation and remote support in order to improve workflows and alleviate staffing constraints.

In 2021, Connected Care rose to these challenges in large, growing and diverse markets, supported by the recent acquisitions in clinical data services and the increased focus on informatics.

Philips has a deep understanding of clinical care and the patient experience inside and outside the hospital. The combination of our advanced technological solutions and consultative approach allows us to be an effective partner to our customers in their transformation, both across the enterprise and at the level of the individual clinician, nurse and patient. Our consultation services are set up to help redesign and optimize patient and work flows, as well as to provide predictive analytics, customized training and improved accessibility across our application landscape, thus reducing the burden on hospital staff and improving patient safety.

This requires secure common digital data platforms that connect and align consumers, patients, payers and healthcare providers in an interoperable manner. Philips’ platforms aggregate and leverage information from clinical devices, patient and historical data to support care providers in patient engagement, diagnostics, (ambulatory) patient monitoring and (clinical) therapy solutions.

In June 2021, our subsidiary, Philips Respironics, initiated a voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products to address identified potential health risks related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices. Following the substantial ramp-up of its production, service and repair capacity in 2021, the repair and replacement program in the United States and several other markets is under way. As of January 2022, Philips Respironics has shipped a total of approximately 750,000 repair kits and replacement devices to customers and aims to complete the repair and replacement program in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In 2021, the Connected Care segment consisted of the following areas of business:

- Hospital Patient Monitoring: This business delivers acute patient management solutions to improve clinical and patient outcomes and achieve operational and economic efficiencies. Leveraging a strong presence in the ICU, Hospital Patient Monitoring solutions enhance customers’ experience and improve patient outcomes with seamless patient data monitoring from admission to discharge, and by turning patient data into clinical insights that are actionable at the right time and specific to targeted care settings.
- Emergency Care: Our business propositions play a critical role in connected acute care management, both inside and outside the hospital, including cardiac resuscitation (e.g. AEDs) and emergency care solutions (devices, services, and digital/data solutions).
- Sleep & Respiratory Care: Philips’ cloud-based sleep and respiratory patient management solutions enable the care of more than 10.5 million connected patients, driving adherence, reimbursement and remote patient management. This extends from ambulatory patient care solutions for obstructive sleep apnea, to end-to-end solutions that encompass consumer engagement, diagnostics, people-centric therapy, cloud-based connected propositions and care management services for patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and respiratory conditions. Hospital Respiratory Care provides invasive and non-invasive ventilators for acute and sub-acute hospital environments; Home Respiratory Care supports chronic care management in the home.
- Connected Care Informatics*): This business includes a fully integrated Electronic Medical Record & Care Management business, which enables centralized management of clinical, organizational and operational processes, virtual care delivery propositions, including remote patient management, and real-time monitoring in acute care, including telehealth in the ICU. Philips’ Tele-ICU program continues to play a pivotal role, enabling clinicians and nursing staff to remotely monitor a scalable number of ICU beds from a central monitoring facility with predictive analytics, enabled by Philips’ HealthSuite Platform. In 2021, Philips acquired Capsule Technologies, Inc., which now forms part of Clinical Data Services. Capsule is a leading player in medical device and data integration across the enterprise, integrating with more than 1,000 vendor-agnostic device models. Building on its core integration and interoperability capabilities, along with the Philips HealthSuite Platform, we will fuel our data and healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities in support of integrated workflow solutions for the hospital. In 2021, Philips also acquired BioTelemetry, Inc. and it now forms part of the Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics business. BioTelemetry holds a leading position in patient care management in ambulatory and home care settings in North America through a suite of cardiac diagnostic and monitoring solutions to identify heart rhythm disorders supported by Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

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

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

Sales at Philips’ Connected Care businesses are generally higher in the second half of the year, largely due to customer spending patterns. However, in 2021, the Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification in the Sleep & Respiratory Care business in June had a negative impact on sales in the second half of the year.

At year-end 2021, the Connected Care businesses had around 18,000 employees worldwide.

*)In Q3 2021, Personal Emergency Response Services and Senior Living, including the Aging & Care Giving business, was sold to Connect America.

#### Real estate

Philips is present in more than 75 countries globally and has its corporate headquarters in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Our real estate sites are spread around the globe, with key manufacturing and R&D sites in Europe, the Americas and Asia.

In 2021, we relocated key offices in Farnborough (UK), Stockholm (Sweden), Toronto (Canada), Gurgaon (India) and Istanbul (Turkey). We invested in, amongst others, our sites in Plymouth (USA), Eindhoven (Netherlands), Alajuela (Costa Rica), Pune (India) and Böblingen (Germany) to create an engaging workplace that can help attract and retain the best talent. We have continued to drive productivity by optimizing our footprint globally and reducing the number of sites through post-acquisition integration programs, as well as by implementing our Future of Work concept to support hybrid working in 2022.

We have fully transferred 33 properties and partially transferred 48 properties as part of the sale of our Domestic Appliances business.

In line with our Environmental ESG commitment towards 2025, we continue to actively optimize our real estate portfolio. Having met our goal of bringing our site-related CO2 emissions under 35 kilotons per year in 2020, we further reduced our CO2 emissions by 15% in 2021. In addition, we reached 73.9% renewable energy in 2021, meeting our 2021 target of 72% and on track to achieve our target of 75% by 2025.

The vast majority of our locations consist of leased property, and we manage these closely to keep the overall vacancy rates of our property below 5% and to ensure the right level of space efficiency and flexibility to follow our business dynamic. Occupancy rates in Philips office locations continued to decrease in 2021 as a result of COVID-19, and this trend is expected to continue in 2022. The net book value of our land and buildings at December 31, 2021, represented EUR 1,388 million; construction in progress represented EUR 24 million. Our current facilities are adequate to meet the requirements of our present and foreseeable future operations.

## 6.5Our geographies

### 6.5.1Our Markets

We address North America, Western Europe and other mature geographies, as well as Greater China and other growth geographies, via three market groups – North America, Greater China and International Markets – which are active in more than 100 countries worldwide.

The Markets’ core objective is to understand local market/customer needs, to create and activate the local marketing plans, to develop and manage the relationship with existing and new customers, to deliver orders, and to manage and service the installed base of equipment and informatics at our customer sites. The Markets manage the market-oriented profit-and-loss account (P&L). They act as the voice of the customer in the creation of the suite of solutions strategy, bring relevant products and solutions to market, and ensure local solution delivery and service execution, as well as managing the integral go-to-market approaches to our key customers and indirect channels – all with the aim of maximizing long-term customer value and gaining market share.

To take quick decisions that are locally relevant and as close to the customer as possible, our Businesses and Markets work closely together in Business-Market Combinations (BMCs) – Ultrasound-Japan, for example. Through the BMC process it is agreed where to compete and how to win. Businesses and Markets bear joint accountability for managing the operational end-to-end consumer and customer value chain and the collaborative P&L, while leveraging the functional excellence and shared infrastructure of the company.

### 6.5.2Macro-economic landscape in 2021

In 2021, the world economy experienced strong growth, largely due to the base effect from the recession suffered in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic re-opening seen in 2021 has led to significant economic recoveries, although the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply bottlenecks persist. According to Oxford Economics, global real GDP is estimated to have grown by 5.8% in 2021, compared with the -3.5% estimated for 2021 in 2020. Across Philips’ markets, Latin America, Europe and Japan are estimated to have not yet reached their 2019 real GDP levels. Oxford Economics expects global real GDP growth to moderate to 4.2% in 2022.

### 6.5.32021 highlights from our Market Groups

#### North America

Philips continued to focus on helping customers drive innovation in areas such as cancer care, cardiovascular care and provider digital transformation, while forging strategic partnerships to advance artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics. 2021 saw our long-term strategic partnerships continue to expand into these areas, as health systems looked to advance care for their communities.

New York University Langone Health’s Department of Pathology worked with us to integrate Philips Genomics Workspace into their EMR (electronic medical record) and enable the largest cancer sequencing test in the industry. We signed a long-term strategic partnership specifically focused on integrated cardiovascular solutions with Lankenau Heart Institute, part of Main Line Health, and formed a unique partnership with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), to develop AI technologies that will enable personalization and make it easier for patients to select providers, access their health information and receive virtual care at home. Further, Baptist Health signed a 10-year strategic partnership to help standardize patient monitoring solutions, supporting their digital transformation goals.

Our partnerships in 2021 also highlighted our commitment to health equity and sustainability. The US Chamber of Commerce Foundation, in partnership with Philips and the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE), expanded the Capital Equipment Coalition (CEC) to North America to accelerate transformation to a circular economy model. We are also working with the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF), as part of a joint mission to raise awareness of and support on key issues such as maternal mortality among Black women, leveraging Philips resources and technology, e.g. the Pregnancy+ app, to help close the healthcare disparities gaps.

In keeping with our belief in the added value of AI, we announced the Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige, an AI-enabled toothbrush with SenseIQ technology. Philips Sonicare continues to be the sonic toothbrush brand most recommended by US dental professionals, and we maintain a No. 1 market share in electric male grooming.

#### Greater China

In 2021 we continued our efforts to provide innovative health technology solutions in support of China’s national health strategy, Healthy China.

Philips provided the Yili Chuanxin Oncology hospital in Xinjiang, a newly established top-tier private hospital, with an Oncology solution to address the hospital’s clinical needs in screening, precision diagnosis, targeted treatment and rehabilitation of cancer patients. The solution includes IntelliSpace Digital Pathology and the Ingenia 3.0T MR, IQon Spectral CT, Incisive CT and CT Big Bore imaging systems, combined with IntelliSpace Portal for advanced visualization and analysis.

Driven by the China Healthcare Reform, PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedures are gradually being transferred from top-tier hospitals to low-tier hospitals, which urgently need medical technology to help doctors provide quality diagnosis and treatment to cardiovascular patients. We provided an integrated solution, including Azurion and IVUS (intravascular ultrasound), to a county-level hospital in Kaifeng, Henan Province, to address the hospital’s needs in the diagnosis and treatment of PCI patients.

Philips provided The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University – one of the biggest hospitals in the world, with more than 10,000 beds – with a range of advanced diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapy systems, including IQon Spectral CT and the Azurion image-guided therapy platform.

We signed a solutions contract with Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child Care Hospital to streamline and advance the delivery of critical care across multiple departments. The contract includes patient monitors, an ECG management system, and ICCA (IntelliSpace Critical Care and Anesthesia) informatics systems.

For consumers, we launched an integrated platform, Philips Healthy Living Lab, in which Philips is partnering with other brands, such as Unilever, IHG and Alibaba, to engage consumers with healthy living experiences.

Underlining our strategy to deliver locally relevant solutions, the company launched several oral healthcare innovations targeting multiple price points in China, including two new electric toothbrushes. In addition, Philips launched its professional teeth whitening offering Zoom in China through a local partnership with LinkedCare, one of the largest dental solution providers in the Chinese dental market.

Recognizing the need for local-for-local development and manufacturing in China, we continue to strengthen our innovation centers in China and aim to achieve 90% localization by the end of 2023.

#### International Markets

In our International Markets we strive to execute on a shared global vision whilst meeting the unique local needs and circumstances of our customers. Our goal is to elevate customer relationships and move from being a trusted supplier of equipment, services and software to a transformational partner directly contributing to our customers’ long-term success. To support this vision we have made great progress on leveling up our go-to-market model, developing scalable solutions and software, expanding fit-for-future capabilities, reinvesting revenue to enable new business models, and establishing new partnerships.

In 2021, Philips entered into many new customer partnerships, including the following:

Philips and Spanish healthcare group Vithas signed a 5-year strategic agreement, which will allow Vithas Group hospitals and medical centers to benefit from Philips’ latest innovations in diagnostic imaging technology, health informatics and equipment for minimally invasive interventional procedures.

## 6.6Supply chain and procurement

### 6.6.1Supply chain

Philips runs an Integrated Supply Chain, which encompasses supplier selection and management through procurement, manufacturing across all the industrial sites, logistics and warehousing operations, as well as demand/supply orchestration. When selecting and evaluating partners, we consider not only business metrics such as cost, quality and on-time delivery performance, but also environmental, social and governance factors. We use supplier classification models to identify critical suppliers, including those supplying materials, components and services that could influence the safety and performance of our products and solutions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to test the resilience of supply chains globally. Philips has not been immune to the increasing impact of issues, such as the shortage of electronic components and logistical constraints. On the logistics front, we have established long-term contracts with suppliers, ensuring increased reliability – still not at pre-COVID-19 levels due to ports congestion – as well as secured costs and availability on contracted lanes. We have also expanded our rail and road transportation options to diversify our routes. For semiconductors, we have placed non-cancellable orders for an 18-month horizon to ensure our place in the queues. At the same time, we have intensified spot buys and alternate parts qualifications in partnership with Research & Development. In parallel, we continue our advocacy towards the industry and governments on prioritizing supplies for life-saving equipment. Much like the rest of the industry, however, we remain exposed to sudden breakouts of COVID-19 in various countries and among suppliers, which will continue to make it difficult to predict developments through at least the first half of 2022. All of these challenges have reinforced our strategy for a more ‘regional vs global’ approach to our end-to-end network design.

Philips has continued to progress the consolidation of its manufacturing footprint into versatile ‘multi-modality’ manufacturing sites that produce multiple product categories and are located within or near the regions they serve. We do this for enhanced scale, efficiency, and customer proximity. While our site count has continued to decrease, the number of locations equipped to make the same product is increasing. Philips is using its multi-modality sites, in combination with contract manufacturing partners, to regionally ‘multi-source’ many of its products. This will increase the resilience of our supply chain to manage future, unplanned disruptions and ensure access to public healthcare investment where ‘local’ requirements exist in our largest markets.

We have also made good progress on transforming our warehousing and distribution operations into a more customer-centric and agile network that is more responsive to market volatility. In the last three years, we have reduced our warehousing footprint by 35%, essentially through consolidation and servicing of multiple businesses from a single location.

In 2021 we finalized the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning in our baseline demand forecasting operations for all our businesses in order to improve demand forecasting accuracy and manage inventories more efficiently. We achieved an improved forecast accuracy for our Personal Health products of more than 20% in the markets Europe, North America and Greater China. The other markets are in the early operating phase. We have insourced the AI forecasting activities for our health systems and medical devices portfolio from a third-party supplier and increased the baseline demand forecasting accuracy by 8%.

In June 2021, our subsidiary, Philips Respironics, initiated a voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products to address identified potential health risks related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices. Following the substantial ramp-up of its production, service and repair capacity in 2021, the repair and replacement program in the United States and several other markets is under way. Production was doubled during the second half of 2021. Philips Respironics plans to treble production volumes during the first half of 2022, subject to availability of inputs and taking into account global semiconductor shortages.

### 6.6.2Procurement

In 2021, strong economic recovery led to sustained high demand. Combined with low levels of inventories and long lead times, this resulted in tightness and scarcity in many markets, as well as volatile spot-market price environments. Under these circumstances, the Procurement function’s priority was to endeavor to safeguard continuity of supply, with dedicated teams by modalities and types of commodities, so that Philips could continue to provide critical healthcare equipment and solutions to our customers all over the world.

Global manufacturing remained in catch-up mode throughout the year. In addition, supply chain bottlenecks and other incidents had direct significant impacts on the already tight markets. Many market risks were in play at the same time – COVID-related delays in supply ramp-ups, the US chemical industry hit by weather storms, the blockage of the Suez Canal, the global shipping container shortage, the energy crisis in China, as well as problems on the gas market in Europe. Especially in the components area, capacity remained a major issue, causing shortages across all end-markets.

### 6.6.3Supplier sustainability

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

Since 2003, our sustainability strategy has included dedicated supplier sustainability programs. We have a direct (tier 1) business relationship with approximately 5,800 product and component suppliers and 18,000 service providers. In many cases, social issues deeper in our supply chain require us to intervene beyond tier 1 of the chain.

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

In 2021, we focused on further maximizing our positive impact on the supply chain, strengthening our maturity-based approach to drive continuous improvement. Through the Supplier Sustainability Performance program, we improved the lives of 430,000 workers in our supply chain (2020: 302,000). We also launched new ways to engage our suppliers, performing deep-dives on human rights impacts and dedicated energy scans to identify cost-effective ways to decarbonize suppliers’ manufacturing environments.

Managing our large and diverse supply chain in a socially and environmentally responsible way requires a structured and innovative approach, while being transparent and engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders. In 2021, our programs focused specifically on improving suppliers’ sustainability performance, responsible sourcing of minerals, and reducing the environmental footprint of our supply base by driving the adoption of science-based targets.

# 7Financial performance

## 7.1Performance review

### The year 2021

- 2021 saw strong growth in orders and sales in the Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health segments, with a decline in Connected Care following the extraordinary growth in 2020 and the impact of the Respironics recall. Increases in component and transportation costs, along with shortages of key components due to capacity constraints and delays in transport routes, impacted Philips' sales and profitability.
- Sales amounted to EUR 17.2 billion, a decline of 1% on a nominal and comparable basis. Comparable sales growth*) in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses was 8% and in the Personal Health businesses 9% on a comparable basis. However, this was more than offset by a 23% decline in the Connected Care businesses. This was largely due to the Respironics recall but also the high comparative base in 2020. Nevertheless, we ended the year with our highest-ever order book, 18% above 2020.
- In Q3 2021, Philips completed the divestment of Domestic Appliances as planned, resulting in a EUR 2.5 billion gain after tax and transaction-related costs; reported in Discontinued Operations.
- Net income amounted to EUR 3.3 billion, an increase of EUR 2.1 billion compared to 2020, mainly driven by the gain on the sale of the Domestic Appliances business. Net income is not allocated to segments, as certain income and expense line items are recorded on a centralized basis.
- Adjusted EBITA*) amounted to EUR 2.1 billion, or 12.0% of sales. Productivity programs delivered annual savings of approximately EUR 279 million. This included approximately EUR 140 million procurement savings, led by the Design for Excellence (DfX) program, and approximately EUR 139 million savings from other productivity programs. While the Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health businesses delivered improved profit expansion, the Connected Care businesses showed a decline in Adjusted EBITA*) margin, primarily due to the decline in sales and the impact of the voluntary recall notification in the Sleep & Respiratory Care business.
- Operating cash flow amounted to EUR 1.6 billion, and Free cash flow*) amounted to EUR 0.9 billion.
- In 2021, Philips completed the acquisitions of BioTelemetry and Capsule Technologies, which we believe will further drive our transformation into a solutions company and, in particular, further strengthen our position to improve patient care across care settings for multiple diseases and medical conditions.
- In June 2021, our subsidiary, Philips Respironics, initiated a voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices. Following the substantial ramp-up of its production, service and repair capacity in 2021, the repair and replacement program in the United States and several other markets is under way. We recognized a field action provision of EUR 0.7 billion to cover the costs of the recall.
- We expect to resume our growth and margin expansion trajectory in the course of 2022, however, we continue to see volatility and headwinds related to COVID and the supply chain shortages, especially in the first half of the year, despite our ongoing mitigation actions.
- On January 29, 2019, Philips announced a EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes. Approximately half of the program was executed through open market purchases during 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. The other half was executed through individual forward contracts. The last settlement under such contracts took place in December 2021 and the program was completed.
- On July 26, 2021, Philips announced a new EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program for capital reduction purposes. Philips entered into a number of forward transactions in the third quarter, covering approximately half of the program, with settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The remainder of the program was executed through open market purchases taking place in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022.

##### The year 2020

- Sales increased by 1% to EUR 17.3 billion on a nominal basis. On a comparable basis*, overall sales growth was 3%, with 22% growth in the Connected Care businesses, a 2% decline in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, and a 7% decline in the Personal Health businesses.
- Net income amounted to EUR 1.2 billion, an increase of EUR 22 million compared to 2019, mainly due to lower net financial expenses and lower income tax expenses, partly offset by higher amortization charges mainly due to a EUR 144 million impairment of goodwill. Net income is not allocated to segments, as certain income and expense line items are recorded on a centralized basis.
- Adjusted EBITA* amounted to EUR 2.3 billion, or 13.2% of sales, in line with 2019. The productivity programs delivered annual savings of approximately EUR 447 million and included approximately EUR 222 million procurement savings, led by the Design for Excellence (DfX) program, and approximately EUR 225 million savings from other productivity programs. While the Connected Care businesses delivered improved profit expansion, both the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Personal Health businesses showed a decline in Adjusted EBITA* margin. This was primarily due to lower volumes and resulting lower factory fixed-cost coverage, an adverse mix impact due to lower sales in Ultrasound and Image-Guided Therapy in the Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, and the decline in sales, partly offset by cost savings, in the Personal Health businesses.
- Operating cash flow amounted to EUR 2.5 billion, an increase of EUR 698 million, mainly due to working capital improvements, in particular better management of outstanding receivables. The 2019 figure was mainly attributable to higher earnings, partly offset by higher working capital outflows and higher tax paid. Free cash flow* amounted to EUR 1.6 billion, compared to EUR 0.9 billion in 2019.
- In 2020, Philips completed three acquisitions, with Intact Vascular being the most notable.

Group sales amounted to EUR 17,156 million in 2021, 0.9% lower than in 2020 on a nominal basis. Considering a 0.3% positive effect from currency and consolidation, comparable sales*) decreased by 1.2%. While the currency effect was negative, mainly due to depreciation of currencies against the euro, and affected all business segments, this was more than offset by a positive consolidation impact from new acquisitions.

Group sales amounted to EUR 17,313 million in 2020, 1.0% higher than 2019 on a nominal basis. Considering a 1.9% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales* increased by 2.9%. The negative currency effect was mainly due to depreciation of currencies against the euro and affected all business segments.

##### Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

In 2021, sales amounted to EUR 8,635 million, 5.6% higher than in 2020 on a nominal basis. Considering a 2.5% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales*) increased by 8.1%. This was driven by double-digit growth in Image-Guided Therapy and mid-single-digit growth in Diagnostic Imaging and Ultrasound, reflecting demand for Philips' portfolio and positive market conditions.

In 2020, sales amounted to EUR 8,175 million, 3.7% lower than in 2019 on a nominal basis. Considering a 1.4% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales* decreased by 2.3%, as low-single-digit growth in Diagnostic Imaging was more than offset by a high-single-digit decline in Image-Guided Therapy and Ultrasound due to the postponement of installations and elective procedures resulting from the impact of COVID-19.

##### Connected Care businesses

In 2021, sales amounted to EUR 4,593 million, 17.5% lower than in 2020 on a nominal basis. Considering a 5.1% positive currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales*) decreased by 22.6%, following the high COVID-19-generated demand in 2020 and the impact of the Respironics recall in 2021.

In 2020, sales amounted to EUR 5,568 million, 19.1% higher than in 2019 on a nominal basis. Considering a 3.0% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales* increased by 22.1%, with double-digit growth in both Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care, as our innovations in these therapeutic areas were able to help our customers combat the pandemic.

##### Personal Health businesses

In 2021, sales amounted to EUR 3,410 million, 7.4% higher than in 2020 on a nominal basis. Considering a 1.6% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales*) increased by 9.0%. This was driven by robust customer demand for new product introductions across the world.

In 2020, sales amounted to EUR 3,173 million, 9.8% lower than in 2019 on a nominal basis. Considering a 2.9% negative currency effect and consolidation impact, comparable sales* decreased by 6.9%, driven by a mid-single-digit decline in Personal Care and a high-single-digit decline in Oral Healthcare, mainly caused by lockdowns in several countries.

Cost of sales | 9,249 | 53.9% | 9,493 | 54.8% | 9,988 | 58.2%

Cost of sales includes only expenses directly or indirectly attributable to the production process, such as cost of materials used, salaries and wages, depreciation and amortization of assets used in manufacturing, and other manufacturing costs (such as repair and maintenance costs related to production, expenses incurred for shipping and handling of internal movements of goods, and other expenses related to manufacturing).

Philips’ cost of sales increased by EUR 495 million to EUR 9,988 million in 2021, compared to EUR 9,493 million in 2020, mainly due to the field action provision of EUR 719 million in connection with the Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification in the Sleep & Respiratory Care business reflected in other manufacturing costs. Other key factors influencing cost of sales were as follows:

- Costs of materials used decreased by EUR 79 million in 2021, mainly driven by productivity savings and a positive foreign currency impact, partly offset by the impact of increases in procurement and supply chain costs.
- Salaries and wages decreased by EUR 71 million in 2021, driven by productivity and restructuring savings, partly offset by acquisitions.
- Depreciation and amortization decreased by EUR 112 million in 2021, mainly due to lower impairments of technology assets of EUR 55 million compared to EUR 92 million in 2020.

##### Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Income from operations in 2021 increased to EUR 941 million, compared to EUR 497 million in 2020. This was primarily due to sales growth and productivity measures. These factors also resulted in an increased Adjusted EBITA*), which was 12.4% of sales in 2021.

##### Personal Health businesses

Income from operations in 2021 increased to EUR 585 million, compared to EUR 356 million in 2020. This was mainly driven by sales growth and productivity measures, partly offset by higher investments in advertising & promotion. These factors also resulted in an increased Adjusted EBITA*), which was 17.6% of sales.

Amortization charges in 2021 were EUR 15 million and include amortization charges related to intangible assets in Mother & Child Care. 2020 charges were EUR 16 million and included amortization charges related to intangible assets in Mother & Child Care.

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

### 7.1.8Shareholders’ equity

In 2021, shareholders’ equity increased by EUR 2,568 million to EUR 14,438 million at year-end. The increase was mainly due to net income of EUR 3,323 million and currency translation gains of EUR 1,117 million, primarily due to the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro in 2021. This was partly offset by the dividend distributed (EUR 482 million), settlements of earlier concluded forward contracts (EUR 869 million) and the share repurchases made in the open market (EUR 758 million).

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

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

#### Share repurchase methods for long-term incentive plans and capital reduction purposes

Historically, Philips uses different methods to repurchase shares in its own capital: (i) share buyback repurchases in the open market via an intermediary; (ii) repurchase of shares via forward contracts for future delivery of shares; and (iii) the unwinding of call options on own shares. During 2021, Philips used methods (i) and (ii) to repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes and methods (ii) and (iii) to repurchase shares for share-based compensation plans.

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

1)All shares were purchased through publicly announced plans or programs, other than approximately 497,000 shares repurchased through the unwinding of call options on own shares.2)First, on October 22, 2018, Philips announced a share repurchase program for an amount of up to EUR 174 million to cover its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. On November 12, 2018, Philips announced to extend this program and entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 319 million to repurchase further 10 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2019 and November 2021. Second, on January 29, 2019, Philips announced a share buyback program for share cancellation purposes for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. Philips started the program in the first quarter of 2019. On March 23, 2020, Philips announced that 50.3% of the program had been completed through repurchases by an intermediary to allow for purchases in the open market during both open and closed periods, and that the remainder of the program would be executed through one or more individual forward transactions. Consequently, in the first half of 2020 Philips entered into four forward contracts for an amount of EUR 745 million to acquire 20 million shares with settlement dates varying between June 2021 and December 2021. Third, on January 29, 2020, Philips announced that it would repurchase up to 6 million shares to cover certain of its obligations arising from its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Under this program, Philips entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 174 million to acquire 5 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2021 and November 2022. Fourth, on May 19, 2021, Philips announced that it will repurchase up to 2 million shares to cover certain of its obligations arising from its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Under this program, Philips entered into one forward contract for an amount of EUR 90 million to acquire 2 million shares with settlement dates in October and November 2023. Fifth, on July 26, 2021, Philips announced an additional share buyback program for share cancellation purposes for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. Consequently, in the third quarter of 2021 Philips entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 731 million to acquire 19.6 million shares with settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Philips executed the remainder of the program through open market purchases by an intermediary in the fourth quarter of 2021 (acquiring 21 million shares) and January 2022 (acquiring 0.8 million shares). For further details on these publicly announced plans or programs refer to Equity.3)Philips cancelled 33.5 million shares on December 28, 2021.4)In 2021, Philips did not determine to terminate any publicly announced plans or programs prior to expiration, or determine that it intends not to make any further purchases under any publicly announced plans or programs. 5)As described above, Philips acquired shares via three different methods: (i) share buyback repurchases in the open market via an intermediary, (ii) repurchase of shares via forward contracts for future delivery of shares, (iii) the unwinding of call options on own shares.

Philips offers voluntary supply chain finance programs with third parties, which provide participating suppliers with the opportunity to factor their trade receivables at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. Philips continues to recognize these liabilities as trade payables and settles them accordingly on the invoice maturity date based on the terms and conditions of these arrangements. As of December 31, 2021, approximately EUR 139 million (2020: EUR 227 million) of the Philips accounts payable were transferred under these arrangements.

#### Other cash commitments

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

The company had EUR 66 million restructuring-related provisions by the end of 2021, of which EUR 58 million is expected to result in cash outflows in 2022. Refer to Provisions for details of restructuring provisions.

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

In 2021, Philips entered into a total amount of EUR 731 million of forward contracts relating to the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program announced on July 26, 2021, with maturity dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024. A total amount of EUR 745 million of forward contracts matured in 2021, which completed the settlement of the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program announced on January 29, 2019. As the program was initiated for capital reduction purposes, Philips intends to cancel all of the shares acquired under the program.

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

#### Guarantees

Philips’ policy is to provide guarantees and other letters of support only in writing. Philips does not provide other forms of support.

Remaining off-balance-sheet business-related guarantees on behalf of third parties and associates decreased by EUR 14 million during 2021 to EUR 2 million (December 31, 2020: EUR 16 million).

### 7.1.10Dividend

#### Dividend policy

Philips’ dividend policy is aimed at dividend stability and a pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders*).

#### Proposed distribution

A proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 10, 2022, to declare a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income of 2021.

If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 12, 2022 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 13, 2022.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 16 and June 3, 2022. If no choice is made during this election period, the dividend will be paid in cash. The number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of all traded common shares Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on June 1, 2 and 3, 2022. 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 7, 2022. Payment of the dividend (up to EUR 744 million) and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 8, 2022. 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 6, 2022.

| ex-dividend date | record date | payment date
Euronext Amsterdam | May 12, 2022 | May 13, 2022 | June 8, 2022
New York Stock Exchange | May 12, 2022 | May 13, 2022 | June 8, 2022

Further details will be given in the agenda for the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The proposed distribution and all dates mentioned remain provisional until then.

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

In June 2021, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 773 million including costs. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 38% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 6,345,968 new common shares, leading to a 0.7% dilution. The dilution caused by the newly issued dividend shares was more than offset by the cancellation of 33.5 million shares in December 2021. For more information refer to Shareholders’ equity. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 482 million (including costs).

#### Dividends and distributions per common share

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

## 7.2Taxation

### Dutch taxation

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

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

### Dividend withholding tax

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

### Income and capital gains

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

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

### Estate and gift taxes

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

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

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

### United States Federal Taxation

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

- a dealer in securities,
- a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,
- a tax-exempt organization,
- a life insurance company,
- a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the combined voting power of our voting stock or of the total value of our stock,
- a person that holds common shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,
- a person that 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 authorities are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

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

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

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

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

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

### Taxation of Distributions

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

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

### Taxation of Capital Gains

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

### Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

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

# 8Environmental, Social and Governance

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

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

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

We aim to be a front-runner in the area of ESG and have been recognized as leading the way in, for example, sustainability, corporate governance practices and tax transparency.

Our reporting is aligned with the comprehensive and integrated Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) commitments we have adopted for the period 2020-2025.

We have excluded the data from Domestic Appliances from the ESG information wherever possible. In a limited number of cases, for example for road logistics emissions, we have used proxies. If Domestic Appliances information was not available for past years, and could therefore not be excluded, we have indicated this in the respective section. The EEI and GBP results have not been restated.

## 8.1ESG reporting framework

Building on our extensive experience of environmental and social impact measurement and of providing transparency on governance, Philips has taken an active role – in collaboration with, in particular, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the European Union – to help drive the evolution towards a standard ESG reporting framework.

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

In 2020, the WEF’s International Business Council (IBC) published its core set of Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics and disclosures. These can be used by companies to align their mainstream reporting on performance against environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators and track their contributions towards the SDGs on a consistent basis. Thus far, 54 companies reported in line with this framework. Based where possible on existing standards, the full set is comprised as follows:

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

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

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

In section 5.6 of this Annual Report, we show how Philips performed in 2021 on the above-mentioned 21 Core metrics, mapped to the three dimensions of our ESG commitments, as well as a number of additional Philips-specific metrics that we consider fundamental to the strategy and operation of our business.

Philips is also contributing to the IFRS Foundation’s endeavors to drive standardization of non-financial reporting as well as the development of sustainability standards by the European Union.

### EU taxonomy framework

The aim of the European Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852), including the delegated acts adopted thereunder, is to provide companies, investors and policymakers with appropriate criteria for determining which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable, and it requires companies to report on how and to what extent their activities are associated with such ‘taxonomy-eligible activities’. The Taxonomy Regulation is relatively new and there are still significant uncertainties around its phased implementation. It is expected, however, that it will be developed into a comprehensive and detailed framework over the coming years.

The Taxonomy Regulation provides certain conditions for taxonomy alignment. Among others, the relevant activity must substantially contribute to one or more of the following six environmental objectives (while not significantly harming any of the others):

1. Climate change mitigation
2. Climate change adaptation
3. The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
4. The transition to a circular economy
5. Pollution prevention and control
6. The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems

The delegated acts adopted under the Taxonomy Regulation will provide technical screening criteria which must also be met to constitute taxonomy alignment. On the date of this Annual Report 2021, only one relevant delegated act has been adopted, concerning activities significantly contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

The taxonomy framework provisions effective on the date of this Annual Report 2021 require Philips to disclose the proportion of its taxonomy-eligible activities (described in any delegated act adopted to date) and non-eligible economic activities in its total turnover, capital and operational expenditure, as well as certain qualitative information. We used the delegated act ((EU) 2021/2139) to identify activities that are eligible. However, none of our revenue-generating activities were included as this delegated act only applies to sectors with very high CO2 emissions. In conclusion, Philips’ core activities are not within the scope of this delegated act and consequently none of Philips' revenues were eligible under this delegated act during 2021 (0%). All revenues were non-eligible (100%). We used delegated act (EU) 2021/2178 for the definition and calculation of the taxonomy-eligible percentages. Revenue is calculated based on ’Sales’ as per Consolidated statements of income. Philips expects to be eligible and report its taxonomy-eligible revenues under additional environmental objectives as further delegated acts with applicable technical screening criteria are adopted.

Some other (enabling) Philips activities are included in the delegated act ((EU) 2021/2139) and are eligible for capital expenditures for the objective of climate change mitigation. We therefore screened (EU) 2021/2139, assessed our capital expenditure and identified relevant activities mainly related to our real estate portfolio. For these activities, capital expenditures are determined based on the 2021 additions to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and additions to right-of-use assets, excluding any re-assessments (refer to Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets excluding goodwill).

Reportable taxonomy-eligible capital expenditures in 2021 amounted to EUR 10 million, or 1% of total capital expenditure (non-eligible capital expenditures 99%), and mainly related to energy efficiency improvement measures in our buildings (installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment), as well as onsite renewable electricity generation (installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies).

Similar to capital expenditures, we screened (EU) 2021/2139, assessed for relevant operational expenditures activities and have not identified any eligible operational expenditure. Total operational expenditures are determined based on the 2021 non-capitalized costs that relate to research and development, building renovation, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to day-to day servicing of property, plant and equipment.

In 2021, we did not record reportable taxonomy-eligible operational expenditures (0%), as, for example, the sourcing of renewable energy was not included in the Taxonomy. Non-eligible operational expenditures were 100%.

We followed the same accounting principles as in our financial statements.

Since the EU taxonomy is new, we will continue to monitor legislative developments and adapt our disclosures where needed.

## 8.2Philips' ESG commitments

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

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

## Our key ESG commitments

### Environmental

We act responsibly towards our planet in line with UN SDGs 12 and 13.

- We will use 75% renewable energy in our operations by 2025.
- While maintaining carbon neutrality in our operations, we will reduce CO2 emissions in our entire value chain in line with a 1.5 °C global warming scenario (based on Science Based Targets). We will actively partner with our suppliers and our customers to achieve this.
- We will generate 25% of our revenue from circular products and solutions, and offer a trade-in on all professional medical equipment so that we can take care of responsible repurposing by 2025.
- We will embed circular practices at our sites and put zero waste to landfill by 2025.
- All new product introductions will fulfill our EcoDesign requirements by 2025, with ‘Eco-Heroes’ accounting for 25% of revenues.

- We engage with our stakeholders and other companies to drive sustainability efforts addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

### Social

Our purpose is to improve people’s health and wellbeing through meaningful innovation, in line with UN SDG 3. We act responsibly towards society and partner with our stakeholders

- We aim to improve the health and well-being of 2 billion people per year by 2025, including 300 million people in underserved communities.
- It is our strategy to lead with innovative solutions along the health continuum – helping our customers deliver on the Quadruple Aim (better health outcomes, a better experience for patients and staff, lower cost of care) and helping people take better care of their health.
- We aim to be the best place to work for our employees, providing opportunities for learning and development, embracing diversity and inclusion, and assuring a safe and healthy work environment. We pay at least a living wage and aim for employee engagement above the high-performance norm.
- Through our supplier development program we will improve the lives of 1,000,000 workers in our supply chain by 2025.
- We actively engage with and support the communities in which we operate, e.g. through volunteering, internships, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) initiatives.
- We contribute to the Philips Foundation, an independent foundation (stichting) organized under Dutch law, which aims to provide access to quality healthcare for disadvantaged communities.
- We consider our tax payments as a contribution to the communities in which we operate, as part of our social value creation.

### Governance

We aim to deliver superior long-term value for our customers and shareholders, and we live up to the highest standards of ethics and governance in our culture and practices

- Our management structure and governance combines responsible leadership and independent supervision.
- The Philips Business System is our integrated operating model. It defines how we work together to delight our customers and achieve our company goals, leveraging our global scale and capabilities.
- We are committed to delivering the highest-quality products, services and solutions compliant with all applicable laws and standards.
- Our remuneration policy is designed to encourage employees to deliver on our purpose and strategy and create stakeholder value, and to motivate and retain them. Our executive long-term incentive plan includes environmental and social commitments.
- We ensure ethical behavior through our General Business Principles, with a strong compliance and reporting framework.
- Our risk management is designed to provide reasonable assurance that strategic and operational objectives are met, legal requirements complied with, and the integrity of the company’s reporting and related disclosures safeguarded.
- We are transparent about our plans, activities, results and contributions to society (e.g. Country activity and Tax report), and engage with shareholders, customers, business partners, governments and regulators through a variety of platforms.

## 8.3Environmental performance

We launched our ESG commitments, with ambitious targets to be achieved by the end of 2025, in September 2020. Besides our social impact, focusing on SDG 3, described in the next section, we have an environmental impact through our global operations (including our supply chain), but even more so through our products and solutions. This is where we contribute to SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) and SDG 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts).

### Environmental impact

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

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

The definition of the use-case scenarios has a significant impact on the result, especially for consumer products, which have large sales volumes, long lifetimes and frequently high energy consumption (e.g. haircare products). With the disentanglement of Domestic Appliances business, which manufactures energy consuming products like steam irons and AirFryers, the environmental impact of Philips reduced significantly.

The following table shows the impact of the Domestic Appliances business disentanglement on the 2020 EP&L.

Philips Group

EP&L in billions of EUR (after exclusion of Domestic Appliances business)

Original EP&L 2020 | 4.91
Changes | Exclusion of Domestic Appliances business | (2.59)
EP&L 2020 excluding Domestic Appliances | 2.32

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

#### Results 2021

In 2021, Philips' environmental impact amounted to EUR 2.16 billion, compared to EUR 2.32 billion in 2020 (excluding Domestic Appliances business). This reduction was mainly driven by a change in product mix. The most significant environmental impact, 81% of the total, is related to the usage of our products, which is due to electricity consumption. Particulate matter formation, climate change, and acidification are the main environmental impacts, accounting for 43%, 27% and 18% of the total impact respectively. The environmental costs include the environmental impact of the full lifetime of the products that we put on the market in 2021, e.g. 10 years in the case of a medical system or 4 years of usage in the case of a Sonicare toothbrush. As we expand our EcoDesign activities, with a target to have all our products EcoDesigned by 2025, we expect the environmental impact to decrease.

Of the total 2021 impact, just EUR 106 million (5%) is directly caused by Philips’ own operations, mainly driven by outbound logistics, followed by business travel. Compared to EUR 115 million in 2020, this is an 8% reduction, mainly due to lower emissions from logistics and the phasing-out of fossil fuels.

Our supply chain currently has an environmental impact of some EUR 289 million, which is 13% of our total environmental impact. The main contributors are the electronic components, cables and steel used in our products. Through our Circular Economy and Supplier Sustainability programs we will continue to focus on reducing the environmental impact caused by the materials we source and apply in our products.

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

For more information on our efforts to reduce emissions in the supply chain, please refer to Supplier indicators.

For more information on our efforts to reduce emissions in the customer use-phase, please refer to Green/EcoDesigned Innovation and Green/EcoDesigned Revenues.

### 8.3.1Green/EcoDesigned Innovation

Research from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact research shows that over 4% of global CO2 emissions are caused by the Healthcare sector. We see a growing demand from our customers to reduce their environmental impact. Our Green/EcoDesigned Innovation – the Research & Development spend related to the development of new generations of Green/EcoDesigned products and solutions and Green technologies, addressing SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns) – is focused on addressing that impact.

Sustainable Innovation is the Research & Development spend related to the development of new generations of products and solutions that address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) or 12.

In 2021, Philips invested EUR 197 million in Green/EcoDesigned Innovation, a significant reduction compared to 2020 due to the completion of a number of sizeable innovation projects in the course of 2021. We expect this spend to increase again in the years to come. In 2021, over EUR 1.5 billion was invested in Sustainable Innovation.

As the current EU Taxonomy delegated act only applies to sectors with highest CO2 emissions, Philips’ activities are not within the scope of this delegated act and consequently none of Philips' R&D investments were eligible under this taxonomy during 2021.

Philips Group

Green Innovation per segment

in millions of EUR

#### Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

Philips develops innovative diagnosis and treatment solutions that support precision diagnosis and effective, minimally invasive interventions and therapy, while respecting the limits of natural resources. Investments in Green Innovation in 2021 amounted to EUR 96 million, compared to EUR 122 million in 2020.

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

#### Connected Care businesses

Philips’ connected health IT solutions integrate, collect, combine and deliver quality data for actionable insights to help improve access to quality care, while respecting the limits of natural resources. It is our belief that well-designed e-health solutions can reduce the travel-related carbon footprint of healthcare, increase efficiency in hospitals, and improve access to care and outcomes. This has also become apparent during the COVID-19 crisis. Green/EcoDesigned Innovation investments in 2021 amounted to EUR 32 million, compared to EUR 51 million in 2020. Green Innovation projects in 2021 will deliver the coming years, among other things, new EcoDesigned patient monitors with lower environmental footprints, reflecting all the Philips EcoDesign/Green Focal Areas. Energy efficiency, material reduction and closing the loop activities are the main areas of focus.

#### Personal Health businesses

The continued high level of R&D investments at our Personal Health businesses is also reflected in the Green/EcoDesigned Innovation spend, which amounted to EUR 65 million in 2021, compared with EUR 80 million in 2020. The Personal Health businesses continued their work on improving the energy efficiency of their products, closing the materials loop (e.g. by using recycled materials in products and packaging), and the voluntary phase-out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), brominated flame retardants (BFR), Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates from, among others, food contact products. More specifically, as part of our Fit for Future Packaging program, we launched the first plastic free packaging solution in our Personal Care portfolio for an online One Blade shaver.

#### Other

The segment Other invested EUR 4 million in Green/EcoDesigned Innovation, spread over projects focused on global challenges relating to water, air, energy, food, circular economy, and access to affordable healthcare.

#### Circular economy

For a sustainable world, the transition from a linear to a circular economy is essential. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using these resources more effectively. It is a driver of innovation in the areas of material, component and product re-use, as well as new business models such as system solutions and services. At Philips, we have set ambitious targets to guide this journey. In 2020, as we announced our ESG commitments, we aimed, among other things, to generate 25% of our revenues from circular products and services, to extend our ‘closing the loop’ practices across all our medical products, and to further embed circular practices at our sites and send zero waste to landfill in our own operations.

### 8.3.2Green/EcoDesigned Revenues

Green/EcoDesigned Revenues are generated through products and solutions that offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more Green Focal Areas – Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Circularity, and Lifetime reliability – and thereby deliver a contribution to SDG 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns). Green/EcoDesigned Revenues amounted to EUR 12.1 billion in 2021, or 70.5% of sales (73.2% in 2020). This decrease is mainly attributable to lower Green/EcoDesigned revenues in the Connected Care businesses, in particular in Sleep & Respiratory Care.

As the current EU Taxonomy delegated act only applies to sectors with highest CO2 emissions, Philips’ activities are not within the scope of this delegated act and consequently none of Philips' revenues were eligible under this taxonomy during 2021.

Philips Group

Green Revenues per segment

in millions of EUR unless otherwise stated

Through our EcoDesign process we aim to create products and solutions that have significantly less impact on the environment over their whole lifecycle. Overall, the most significant improvements have been in energy efficiency and lower weight (thus less resources), although increased attention was also given to hazardous substances, packaging and recyclability in all segments in 2021, the latter driven by our Circular Economy initiatives.

#### Diagnosis & Treatment businesses

In 2021, no new main platforms were launched in our Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, after a significant expansion in 2020 with new Green/EcoDesigned Products – CT Incisive, Mobile X-Ray system Zenition 50 and 70 – and with redesigns of various Green/EcoDesigned Products offering further environmental improvements, such as the MR Ambition and Elition systems. Specific attention was paid to maintaining the Green/EcoDesigned status of the systems and on preparing for future EcoDesigned product launches.

#### Connected Care businesses

After several launches of new Green/EcoDesigned products in 2020, no new launches took place in 2021. Last year, our Connected Care businesses launched the following Green/EcoDesigned Products – VS30 and MX850 patient monitors, EV300 and EVO ventilators and the Intrepid HeartStart monitor & defibrillator. New EcoDesigned Products are expected in 2022 with improvements on all EcoDesign focal areas.

#### Personal Health businesses

In our Personal Health businesses, the focus is on Green/EcoDesigned Products and Solutions that meet or exceed our minimum requirements in the areas of energy consumption, packaging, substances of concern, and application of recycled plastics. Green/EcoDesigned Revenues in 2021 amounted to 84% of total sales, comparable to 2020. We continue to make progress in developing PVC/BFR-free products. More than 90% of our consumer product sales consist of PVC/BFR-free products, with the exception of power cords, for which there are not yet economically viable alternatives available. In our haircare portfolio we launched a new energy-efficient hairdryer saving 15% of energy consumption compared to its predecessor.

### 8.3.3Sustainable Operations

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

#### Carbon footprint and energy efficiency

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

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

We are proud that our efforts are acknowledged by the CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project), a global NGO that assesses the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission performance and management of reporting companies. In 2021, we were ranked on the CDP Climate Change 'A' List for our continued climate performance and transparency for the ninth consecutive year.

Having achieved our 2020 carbon neutrality target, we have raised the bar and set ambitious emission reduction targets to ensure we help limit the impact of global warming, not only in our operations, but throughout our value chain – collaborating with suppliers and customers to amplify our impact. That is why Philips has set new long-term emission reduction targets, which have been assessed and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – locking down our commitment to drive climate action across the value chain and ensuring that we contribute to the decarbonization required to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 °C. At COP 26, we announced our plan to step up our acclaimed supplier sustainability program with the goal of having at least 50% of our suppliers (based on spend) committing to science-based targets (SBTs) for CO₂ emissions reduction by 2025.

In 2021, our net operational carbon footprint resulted in zero kilotonnes carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2-e), mainly driven by continued use of 100% electricity from renewable sources and a continuing reduction in air travel due to COVID-19, as well as a reduction in air freight. A total of 519 kilotonnes carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2-e) were compensated via carbon offsets.

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

in kilotonnes CO2 -equivalent

In 2021, our operational carbon intensity (in tonnes CO2e/EUR million sales) increased slightly compared to 2020, as we recovered from COVID-19 restrictions. This does not include the acquired carbon offsets.

In our sites, we managed to reduce our scope 1 (indirect) emissions by 12% compared to 2020, mainly driven by energy efficiency measures, our program to phase out fossil fuels, working from home, and mild winters. We continue to source 100% renewable electricity for all our sites globally. We have multiple Power Purchase Agreements in place to secure long-term delivery of renewable electricity. For instance, the Los Mirasoles wind farm in the US and the Krammer and Bouwdokken wind farms in the Dutch province of Zeeland. We closed the latter agreements with our renewable electricity purchasing consortium with Nouryon, DSM and Google, powering all our operations in the Netherlands. Combined with the Los Mirasoles wind farm, this covers some 50% of our total electricity demand. Moving forward, we aim to phase out fossil fuels from our sites. We already managed to increase our renewable energy share to 74% in 2021, from 72% in 2020. Combined with the achieved energy reductions, this led to a 10% reduction in emissions from our energy consumption (scope 1 and scope 2 market-based) in 2021 compared to 2020.

In December 2020, Philips announced its next Power Purchase Agreement that will become operational in 2023, again in a purchasing consortium with Heineken, Nouryon and Signify, to power most of the remaining European sites with renewable electricity for the long term.

Our business travel emissions, covering emissions from air travel, lease cars and rental cars, increased by 3% compared to 2020. This is mainly due to the fact that more of our employees are using their lease cars again post-COVID-19. The remaining effects of COVID-19 also continued to keep these emissions low compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. We continue to electrify our lease fleet and to promote online collaboration post-COVID-19 in order to limit air travel, as well as moving to rail transport for shorter distances.

In 2021, we recorded a 1% increase in emissions in our overall logistics operations compared to 2020. We reduced overall emissions from air freight by 4%. Emissions from ocean freight decreased with 9%. We implemented new carrier-trade-lane specific emission factors from the Clean Cargo Working Group (CCWG), allowing us to quantify our ocean freight emissions more accurately. This has been applied for 2020 and 2021. Emissions from parcel shipments increased by 54%, as we shipped more parcels and moved specific carrier shipments from road to parcel in 2021. That resulted in the emissions from road transport decreased by 14%, mainly driven by the before mentioned move from road to parcel and reduced use of road freight in Asia Pacific in 2021 compared to 2020. We also continued to make transport mode shifts to low-carbon alternatives, mainly reducing the need for air freight.

Although reduction is key to achieving carbon neutrality, unavoidable carbon emissions required offsetting in order to gradually drive down our emissions to zero by year-end 2021. We did this by financing projects in emerging regions that have a strong link with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and 12 (Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns). In 2021, we decreased offsets to 516 kilotonnes, equivalent to the annual uptake of approximately 15 million medium-sized oak trees. This covers the total emissions of our entire operations, covering all sites, all business travel and all logistics flows. We do this by financing carbon reduction projects through long-term carbon offsets in emerging regions that drive social, economic and additional environmental progress for the local communities, such as:

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

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

##### Replanting degraded land while providing education on health matters

Planting trees will improve livelihoods and address issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and adaptation to climate change and provide support and education including on HIV and malaria. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the VCS standard.

##### Protecting forests through sustainable production

Deforestation is reduced through promotion of sustainable businesses to protect the forest. Unsustainable harvest of fuelwood is reduced. The forest supports the supply of water to other parts of Ethiopia and neighbouring countries. It is also the habitat of diverse and, in some cases, rare species. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the VCS standard.

##### Increasing employment through provision of sustainable energy

The energy supply gap is reduced through providing access to clean energy and related employment through wind generation in India. This enables an improvement in livelihoods. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the VCS standard.

##### Improving respiratory health and reducing deforestation through provision of clean cookstoves

Through supporting a range of cookstove technologies across Ghana and Kenya, the projects improve respiratory health, reduce fuel costs and reduce deforestation for fuel. This also enables more time for paid work thus improving prospects. To ensure quality, all offsets are verified under the Gold Standard.

#### Water

Philips is not a water-intense company. However, a number of our manufacturing sites are located in water-stressed regions in, for example, USA (California), India and Israel. With the help of the WRI Aqueduct tool, the water withdrawn from areas with high baseline water stress were identified across all Philips industrial operations. It shows that around 16% of the industrial sites are located at Extremely High (>80%) baseline water stress areas. However, the impact from these operational sites is very limited, only amounting to 4% of Philips' total water withdrawal.

Total water withdrawal in 2021 was 703,104 m3, a 13% increase compared to 2020 and a 1% reduction compared to 2019. Water consumption in 2020 was impacted by the government-mandated lockdowns and the working-from-home protocol – resulting in a significant reduction in water intake at several sites.

Diagnosis & Treatment, which consumes 48% of total water usage, recorded a 18% increase, mainly caused by the higher production volume at several sites and the introduction of a new water-intense manufacturing process. Personal Health recorded a 12% increase. This was mainly due to the increased production volume at a water-intensive manufacturing site in Asia. Connected Care showed an increase of 3%, due to changes in the organizational footprint.

In 2021, 99.4% of water was purchased and 0.6% was extracted from groundwater wells.

#### Waste

In 2021, our manufacturing sites generated 22,204 tonnes of waste, a decrease of 29% compared to 2020, mainly driven by the reduced impact of our construction activities in different locations across the globe.

The Diagnosis & Treatment businesses reduced waste by 49%, mainly driven by a strong decrease in construction-related waste, which was partially offset by the waste generated by the increased production and newly reported reused materials, now constituting 45% of total waste. The Connected Care businesses reduced waste by 21% due to operational changes and a renovation project which was finished in 2020. Personal Health increased waste by 20% due to operational changes, increased production and reported reused materials, now constituting 43% of total waste.

Total waste consisted of waste that is delivered for landfill, incineration, waste to energy or recycling until 2020. We extended the scope with materials sent for reuse and other recovery in 2021.

Materials delivered for reuse, other recovery or recycling via an external contractor amounted to 19,044 tonnes, which equals 86% of the total waste. Of the 14% remaining waste, 79% comprised non-hazardous waste and 21% hazardous waste. We recorded 1,525 tonnes of waste prevented in our own activities in 2021.

Our sites addressed both the Circular Material Management percentage as well as waste sent to landfill, as part of our ESG commitments.

The Circular Material Management percentage has replaced the recycling percentage, and includes circular measures such as waste prevented, reuse and other recovery. The Circular Material Management percentage was 87% in 2021.

Our Zero Waste to Landfill KPI excludes one-time-only waste and waste delivered to landfill due to regulatory requirements. According to this definition, in 2021 we reported 19 tonnes of waste sent to landfill, a significant reduction of 96% compared to 2020. During 2021, one of our waste contractors informed us of an error in their administrative processes, as a result of which a small waste stream was incorrectly classified as recycled. In fact the waste stream was sent to landfill. This was remedied in the second half of 2021. As a result, all our 25 industrial sites achieved Zero Waste to Landfill status by the end of 2021.

### 8.3.4Supplier indicators

Philips’ purpose to improve people’s health and well-being extends throughout our value chain. At Philips, we have a direct business relationship with approximately 5,800 product and component suppliers and 18,000 service providers. Our supply chain sustainability strategy is updated annually through a structured process, combined with dedicated multi-stakeholder dialogues. Our most recent supplier sustainability stakeholder dialogue took place in June 2019. From this, we have developed multiple programs aimed at driving sustainable improvement. These programs cover compliance with our policies, improvement of our suppliers’ sustainability performance, our approach towards responsible sourcing of minerals, and reducing the environmental impact of our supply base.

#### Supplier sustainability compliance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

##### Supplier classification

Supplier selection for the program is based on criticality. Criticality of suppliers is determined through an assessment of the supplier’s associated risks and opportunities, such as strategic importance of their components, annual spend, and substitutability. In 2021, 14% of our suppliers were considered critical. After this initial assessment, the engagement strategy is tailored based on the suppliers’ current performance in terms of sustainability.

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

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

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

Philips defines six Zero Tolerances:

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

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

##### Our 2021 results

In 2021, four zero tolerances were found across the following categories: health and safety, labor, and environmental impact. Most cases related to fire safety risks at our suppliers. three of the four cases were successfully closed in 2021. The remaining zero tolerance is still pending closure, while having an active mitigation plan in place.

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

Philips Group

Lives improved in the Supply Chain (thousands of Lives)

| 2019 | 2020 | 2021
--- | --- | --- | ---
Lives improved in the Supply Chain | 286 | 302 | 430

In 2021, the overall year-on-year improvement in performance is 24% for suppliers that entered the program in 2020. The number of employees impacted at suppliers participating in the SSP program was approximately 430,000. For those workers, labor conditions improved, the risk of serious injury reduced, and the negative environmental impact of suppliers was brought down. This includes the workers at suppliers of the Domestic Appliances business, for which Philips continued the sustainability engagement. For a detailed break-down of percentage improvements realized in the past year, refer to the following table.

Human Capital | 9% | 8% | (5)% | 24% | 9% | 9% | 10% | 6% | 8%

Categories which showed the biggest improvement are:

- Corrective action approach to Business Ethics: improving the approach to follow-up investigations into raised concerns and continuous improvement of the supplier’s business ethics management system
- Management responsibility for Human Capital: improving management attention and structural periodic review of relevant key performance indicators
- Target setting and tracking of Business Ethics topics: improving periodic evaluations of grievance mechanisms, setting targets on complaints resolving, and progress reporting mechanisms

In 2021, 99 suppliers were added to the SSP program. Of the population of suppliers that entered the program in the years before 2021, 252 suppliers were still active in 2021. The combined group represents 43% of our critical suppliers who are in the program.

As part of the adoption of our new ESG commitments, we have set the target to improve the lives of 1 million workers in our supply chain by 2025. To achieve this, we started to ramp-up our engagement in 2021, adding a higher number of new suppliers due to changing risk profiles. We expect to roll out the program to additional manufacturing countries in the years to come.

##### Additional progress made in 2021

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

In 2021, a new study was launched that enables prediction of suppliers’ actual performance, based on a limited number of survey questions. Once these insights are translated into a workable tool, it can help to greatly reduce the time spent on assessments. This leaves more room for experts to support suppliers in their capability building, by sharing best practices and creating business cases that enable improvements.

In addition, we updated the assessment framework through which suppliers are graded. Also, we have started to perform topical deep-dives at suppliers, subject to their maturity.

#### Responsible sourcing of minerals

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

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

##### Conflict minerals due diligence

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

Philips applies collective cross-industry leverage through active engagement via the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI, formerly known as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI)). RMI identifies smelters that can demonstrate, through an independent third-party audit, that the minerals they procure are conflict-free. In 2021, Philips continued to actively direct its supply chain towards these smelters.

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

Each year, we work with our suppliers on the quality of their due diligence reporting by setting minimum criteria for the Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRT). In addition, we strive to reduce the number of non-identified smelters. The quality of the CMRTs dropped one percentage point compared to the 2020 due diligence results. The number of non-listed smelters remained zero (2020: 0).

Philips Group

CMRTs that satisfied minimum acceptance criteria | 85% | 85% | 84%
Non-listed smelters in our supply chain | 3 | 0 | 0

###### Cobalt

In 2021, Philips extended the scope of its due diligence program on cobalt. We use cobalt predominantly in lithium-ion batteries. As part of this initiative, we engaged suppliers that provide materials containing cobalt. In 2021, we again reached a 100% response rate (2020: 100%).

###### Case study: Establishing the Mthandazo Women Miners' Association

Conflict-related problems affect Mthandazo women gold miners in Zimbabwe. These impacts are caused by political instability in the country, institutional weaknesses in mining sector administration, and violence, abuse, and criminality in the local gold sector. Furthermore, the women miners often do not have adequate access to legal assistance on contracts and agreements signed with gold traders or on the application of responsible sourcing standards (e.g. OECD). The project to establish the Women Miners’ Association will be anchored by several activities, including legal training, expert training on responsible sourcing, registration of women miner groups, dispute resolution, and development of a due diligence and traceability system.

The Women Miners’ Association promotes women-led responsible, traceable, safe, and profitable gold mining in the artisanal small-scale mining sector in Zimbabwe through the application of OECD Due Diligence Guidance principles in high-risk or conflict affected areas. Through the association, women miners are empowered to establish a system to assess the impact of their gold mining, processing and marketing operations, as part of due diligence to eliminate any vulnerabilities and risks associated with human rights, working conditions, violent conflicts and environmental harm.

###### Case study: Fairmined gold in Honduras

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is an invisible sector in Honduras, as there is a lack of wider recognition of its current contributions and needs. The creation of the Unit for ASM in INHGEOMIN (the country’s mining authority) has had a positive effect on the ASM sector. However, staffing and technical knowledge are not yet sufficient to serve the entire ASM population and its demands. Also, the ASM sector is poorly recognized in the market, leading to a lack of formal market access.

Minas y Cuevas (the projects’ pioneering mining cooperative) has been compliant with CRAFT, a management system framework developed for small mines, since December 2019, guaranteeing that it can access formal markets, subject to evidence of continued improvement. The project seeks to build on this foundation and to encourage the adoption of best mining practices in the ASM sector in Honduras, so that it becomes a legitimate, responsible, and profitable sector that promotes inclusive and sustainable development in rural areas, improving the quality of life of miners and their communities. Market access will be facilitated through the sale of CRAFT and Fairmined (a label given by the Alliance for Responsible Mining) gold from Honduras and European downstream actors. Through this project, working conditions and the livelihoods of the miners are improved through responsible gold production.

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

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

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

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

EPRM is an accompanying measure to the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation dedicated to making real change ‘on the ground’. Through EPRM, Philips financially supports activities to improve responsible mining practices in mining areas in CAHRAs and shares our knowledge and practice in conducting due diligence. Since 2018, Philips has actively participated in several working groups focused on strengthening the responsible production of minerals, as well as improving responsible sourcing practices.

###### IRBC Responsible Gold Agreement

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

#### Green supply chain program

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

In October 2021, during COP26, Philips announced its target to have at least 50% of its suppliers (based on spend) committed to science-based targets for carbon reduction by 2025.

Philips Group

% of suppliers committed to science-based targets

| 2021
--- | ---
% of suppliers committed to science-based target | 28%

We consider suppliers to have committed to science-based targets when this is communicated via their CDP disclosures, public websites and announcements, or the Science Based Targets Initiative website. Multiple activities have been deployed to support our achievement of this climate target.

CDP engagement: Since 2011 we have been partnering with CDP Supply Chain, through which we invite suppliers to disclose their environmental performance and carbon intensity. In 2021, there was a response rate of 87% (2020: 91%). Part of the reason for the lower response rate is an increase in the number of invited suppliers by 25% compared to 2020. We expect to further grow the number of suppliers that respond in the coming years, thereby enhancing our insights into the climate maturity of suppliers.

Of the group that responded, 61% engaged in emission-reduction initiatives (2020: 65%). In addition, 56% committed to carbon emission targets (2020: 64%). Our suppliers undertook projects in 2021 that resulted in savings on carbon emissions amounting to 452 million metric tonnes CO2.

Data-driven insights: Through accurate data insights, Philips’ buyers are enabled to consider climate action in their supplier selection. In 2021, 28% of our purchases (in spend) were made at suppliers that have committed to science-based CO2 reduction targets.

Capability building: We support suppliers in advancing their company approach to climate action, offering (online) guidance that is tailored to their climate action maturity. In 2021, we provided tailored feedback and guidance for 61% of our suppliers to support their growth in capabilities and help improve their approach.

Opportunities for decarbonization: Through on-site assessments we identify energy efficiency opportunities that enable our suppliers to make cost-effective carbon reductions. Our team calculates for the supplier what the cost impact would be, and also the return. In 2021, 13 on-site assessments took place, which resulted in tailored plans for improvement.

## 8.4Social performance

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

### 8.4.1Improving people’s lives

The lack of access to affordable, quality care is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Climate change is intensifying this situation and putting the lives of millions of people at risk. At Philips, we are conscious of our responsibilities towards society and the planet. It is our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. As such, we aim to improve the lives of 2.5 billion people a year by 2030. To ensure we remain on track to achieve this goal, we have developed an integrated approach, that tells us how many lives have been improved by our products and solutions in a given year. We call this our Lives Improved model.

The Lives Improved model helps us to track our performance on a country-to-country basis in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, allowing us to shape strategies to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

In 2021, Philips improved 1.67 billion lives, an increase of around 140 million compared to 2020. This increase was driven by steady growth of all segments and the inclusion of new businesses such as IGT-Devices, EMR & Care Management and Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics, as well as the added contributions of our Philips Foundation and CSR projects.

From a market perspective, we saw significant growth mainly in Latin America (resulting from the inclusion of the EMR & Care Management business), Greater China, the Indian Subcontinent and Africa (mainly driven by the inclusion of Philips Foundation).

We have additional commitments to improve the lives of 300 million people in underserved communities with our health-related products by 2025, rising to 400 million by 2030. This commitment allows us to increase our focus on those populations where we can make a positive impact by providing access to effective and affordable healthcare for those in greatest need. By combining the strengths of Philips, Philips Foundation and its partners, we can provide better healthcare and improve health outcomes for all. In 2021, our health-related solutions improved the lives of 167 million people in underserved markets (an increase of 40 million compared to 2020).

In the course of 2021 we changed the definition of ‘lives improved’ (effective January 2021) to align more closely with our purpose. The new definition includes only products or solutions that contribute to people’s health and well-being, and no longer includes the contribution from our Green Products and Solutions that support a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, as we discontinued our Domestic Appliances business, we have removed the impact of this business from the 2021 Lives Improved results. The combined impact of these changes resulted in an overall drop of 223 million lives improved.

### 8.4.2Workforce of the Future

In 2021, the Workforce of the Future remained a key pillar of our People strategy. In a fast-changing landscape – with a need for evolving capabilities in support of our business transformation, as well as a need to adapt to the changes in the nature of work accelerated by the pandemic – our focus on the Workforce of the Future helps us to attract, develop and retain a workforce that will deliver the strategic capabilities needed to win.

We staff our positions based on assessed behavior, potential and capabilities. In 2021, we filled 72% of our Director-level and more senior positions from within the company. For these internal hires, we ensure our candidates are high performers with strong potential. In 2021, 68% of all internal promotions to Director level and more senior positions were realized by appointing top performers. We supplement this internal growth with targeted external hiring, bringing in employees with the behaviors and capabilities we require for our Workforce of the Future.

#### Strategic Capability Building

We apply an enterprise-wide Strategic Workforce Planning approach, which all businesses and markets adopt as part of the strategic planning cycle, to identify and develop the capabilities needed to realize our ambitions as a health technology company. This approach recognizes that capabilities are complex, with people, processes and systems being developed holistically. In 2021 we continued our focus on strategic positions and top talent and used the lens of strategic enterprise capabilities to focus our talent attraction, onboarding and development initiatives.

#### Total Workforce Strategy

We continue our Total Workforce Strategy, which considers all sources of skill, capabilities, locations and changes in the labor market in order to deliver the Workforce of the Future.

Our Right Shoring & Sourcing methodology is used to implement this strategy. This methodology steers improvements in workforce composition towards the ‘right shore’ (onshore, nearshore and offshore) and the ‘right source’ (employees, contingent workers and outsourced). The cost savings delivered by the program increased by 55% year-on-year

We extended our Freelance Management System in 2021 to cover India, on top of the Netherlands, Germany and the USA. By advertising opportunities for freelancers on our own Careers site alongside employee jobs, we now source 48% of all our freelancer hires ourselves, without having to go through staffing agencies.

Our Philips-wide Graduate Development Program (GDP) continues to perform well attracting 40 participants in 2021 - and expected to grow to over 300 in 2022. The GDP lasts two years and includes three job rotations, as well as offering the graduates a comprehensive learning and development track and career centers to help guide future steps.

We continue to drive campus hiring, with a 23% year-on-year increase in campus hires compared to 2020 amounting to 1,173 campus hires in 2021 (952 in 2020). Philips also offered meaningful work experience to 17% more interns than in 2020, and they formed a critical source of our graduate hires - with 53% of all graduate hires having been an intern with us.

### 8.4.3Inclusion & Diversity

Philips’ commitment towards Inclusion & Diversity is reflected in our General Business Principles and the company-wide Inclusion & Diversity Policy and Fair Employment Policy that were updated and published in 2021.

The company continues to put in place measures to enhance diversity and inclusion at all levels within the organization, and to ensure that the diversity at senior management levels reflects the diversity of our stakeholders, including consumers, our customers and their patients.

To this end, Philips made a new commitment of 35% gender diversity in senior leadership positions by the end of 2025, raising the ambition from the original target of 30%. As of year-end 2021, the figure stands at 28%.

Philips Group

1)Includes Domestic Appliances

With diversity being part of Philips’ purpose and one of the three strategic pillars of our global People strategy, long-term Inclusion & Diversity ambitions are embedded in our training, our approach to new ways of working including hybrid working, and our focus on health and well-being. Additionally, our leadership development programs, how we listen and respond to employee feedback, and the transparency required to hire and promote talent of underrepresented groups are also in focus.

Execution is monitored through a diversity dashboard based on a global scorecard with specific goals. This drives accountability and focus, and empowers leaders to customize goals, hear the stories behind the numbers, and intervene where appropriate.

During 2021, further work was done to bring together and grow global initiatives and amplify inclusion around unconscious bias, health, well-being and energy management, to grow awareness, stimulate learning and increase the resilience of our employees in the face of the pandemic. These initiatives are building on the holistic, long-term approach that sustainable success stems from an inclusive environment in which everyone can be and bring their best self to work (#youareyou). They include, but are not limited to:

Gender parity

- Building senior women mentoring programs to develop and retain senior female leaders across different levels, functions and markets
- Our Diversity Council continues to accelerate change and increase leadership involvement.

Broadening diversity

- Commitment to empower and increase the number of talents with a different race/ethnicity in leadership, starting in North America

Health & Well-being

- Employee safety incidents (Total Recordable Cases) stood at 213, an increase versus 2020 but well below industry averages. COVID-19 continued to impact our associates, but no work-related deaths were recorded.
- Addressing mental health and well-being with the continued roll-out of the global Employee Assistance program for employees and close dependents
- Embedding and extending the Energy Management Program, helping employees to build resilience and address work/life rhythm
- Offering further company-wide Mindfulness sessions and, across four key markets, an employee Mental Health Champion program, upskilling employees to offer confidential peer-to-peer guidance to support mental well-being.

Learning & Development

- Continuing the deployment across the organization of tailor-made training to address unconscious bias
- Providing globally available masterclasses, led by our leaders and international speakers on topics like Allyship, Privilege, Resilience and Psychological Safety

Creating belonging – #youareyou

- The (virtual) global and local celebrations of International Women’s Day across 80 locations worldwide; World Health Day, Pride, and World Mental Health Day
- A new global governance for our valued Employee Resource Groups (ERG) was launched, including an ERG Resource Center: offering active support to employees in setting up their own diverse and inclusive bottom-up networks. These include women’s networks, the Black Employees Resource Group in North America, an Asian employees’ network, and revival of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2021 we added the Middle Eastern Employee Resource Group, Future Leaders in Philips and Parents Club in the United States, a Benelux chapter of our Black Employee Resource Group, and a Global Care-givers Network, the latter as a direct response to the challenges experienced during the pandemic.

Recognition

- Achieving Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality status, receiving a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign 2021 Corporate Equality Index. Listed on Forbes Best Diversity Initiatives and Equal Opportunity Magazine’s Top 50 employers.

### 8.4.4Our culture

Culture is foundational to achieving our strategic ambitions. Our behaviors create a shared understanding of how we all need to act in order to live up to our purpose of improving the lives of people around the world. All Philips employees are expected to commit to living our behaviors – Customers first, Patient safety, quality and integrity always, Team up to win, Take ownership to deliver fast, and Eager to improve and inspire – every step of the way.

As we continue our transformation into a focused leader in health technology, we foster a culture within Philips that will help us achieve operational excellence and extend our solutions capability to address our customers’ unmet needs. Patient safety and quality are at the heart of our purpose. By fostering an inclusive and psychologically safe environment our people feel valued for who they are and for their contributions. As a health technology leader, the health and well-being of our people is imperative for success.

As work evolves during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are embracing a hybrid working model that offers greater flexibility and improved collaboration for better patient, customer and consumer outcomes, as well as enhanced employee well-being. From feedback shared by more than 10,000 employees in our ’office of the future’ survey, we learned that 68% of people want to work from home at least two days a week, while 72% emphasizes the need to meet physically in offices for effective connections. Our new ways of working are defined by three goals:

- Embracing flexibility. Making innovative choices for how and where to work, allowing more autonomy for our employees.
- Being at our best: Caring for ourselves, each other and our customers, patients and consumers. This means prioritizing our own well-being, as well as making time for personal growth and development.
- Impactful collaboration: Creating moments to come together, supporting employees’ sense of connection and belonging, so we can build strong teams, generate ideas and solve problems.

All of the above underpins how we lead, engage, hire and develop our employees. We have been focusing on well-being, deepening our leadership asks into the organization and supporting our culture shift as a leading innovative, customer-focused health technology company.

We are building an organization that is fit for today and the future with the skills and capabilities needed to successfully deliver on our strategic imperatives. We attract, onboard and retain the best talent to accelerate our business transformation.

### 8.4.5Employee engagement

In an environment of constant, rapid change, it is vital to stay connected and engaged with our people by continually checking in with and listening to them. Employee engagement and improving the experience of our people are pivotal to the success of our strategy. In 2021, employee engagement remained high at 79%, exceeding the Fortune 500 benchmark, despite the pandemic. This was driven by our people feeling proud to work for Philips, inspired to do their best work, and believing that Philips is a great place to work. It was further fostered by a focus on health & well-being, and employees feeling that they can be themselves and have the flexibility needed to enable a healthy work-life rhythm while meeting their career goals.

--- | --- | --- | ---
Favorable | 74% | 79% | 79%
Neutral | 17% | 14% | 14%
Unfavorable | 9% | 7% | 7%

Our quarterly employee surveys help to keep our finger on the pulse of employee sentiment toward the company. We act upon our employees’ ideas for improvement and show them that their feedback is valued.

At Philips, we believe we perform at our best when we feel connected, supported and psychologically safe. Amidst the ongoing pandemic in 2021, we listened actively to our employees to provide them with greater clarity of direction and increased autonomy and flexibility to deal with challenging personal and work situations. Moreover, we strengthened our Health & Well-being programs with a focus on mental well-being, which is designed to help our employees to build resilience through conscious energy management, adopt a healthier lifestyle, and achieve a better work/life balance.

### 8.4.6Employment

The total number of Philips Group employees was 78,189 at the end of 2021, compared to 75,001 at the end of 2020, an increase of 3,188 FTE.

#### Employee turnover

In 2021, employee turnover amounted to 17.6%, of which 10.0% was voluntary, compared to 14.0% (7.3% voluntary) in 2020. External benchmarks show that our voluntary employee turnover remains in line with similar-sized companies, and that we are reasonably successful in retaining our employees.

Philips Group | 10.9% | 9.6% | 7.6% | 8.1% | 10.0%

### 8.4.7Equal opportunities and equal pay

Philips is committed to equal pay and will continue to investigate whether any deviations from this principle exist.

Many countries with a Philips presence – for example, Australia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, certain US states and India – have already undertaken pay equity reviews. In the US, Philips will be executing a Nationwide Pay Equity Project during 2022, building on work already completed at US state level.

In 2021, a study by EDGE (Economic Dividends for Gender Equality) of Philips in the Netherlands was completed, with Philips being certified for Gender Equality. The study found no statistical evidence of unequal pay. We continue to study gender pay parity using the EDGE methodology and plan to scale this application to cover 80% of Philips’ global country presence by the end of 2022.

### 8.4.8Living wage

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

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

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

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

The living wage analysis conducted in 2021 showed again that all wages and benefits at Philips were above the defined living wage levels in all 76 countries surveyed.

### 8.4.9Health and Safety

In 2021, the COVID-19 global pandemic continued to significantly affect Philips’ global operations in many ways, including government-mandated lockdowns, travel restrictions, and most importantly ensuring employee health and safety whilst maintaining critical operational commitments. Philips continued to deliver on its triple duty of care: meeting critical customer needs, ensuring the health and safety of employees, and ensuring business continuity. A Group Crisis Operations Team and local Crisis Management Teams continued to provide a global integrated response. This enabled Philips to disseminate a centralized and consistent message for every employee, regardless of market, business or location. A COVID-19 intranet site with guidance and information was maintained and received over 44,000 hits in 2021.

Working as a team across all functions, Philips was able to maintain manufacturing operations and ensure support for our customers, including front-line hospitals, to minimize interruption to key service and support activities. During 2021, approximately 5,168 Philips employees voluntarily reported a COVID-19 infection. Whilst most infections were of mild severity, there were unfortunately some more severe outcomes, including a small number of fatalities. However, less than 1% of contamination cases and none of the fatalities resulted from infections acquired during workplace activities. Cumulatively in 2020 and 2021, Philips recorded 7,374 COVID-19 cases (5,168 in 2021), 19 fatalities (13 in 2021).

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

We recorded 213 TRCs in 2021, a 20% increase compared to 178 in 2020. While our workforce continued to expand in 2021, the TRC rate decreased from 0.24 per hundred FTEs in 2020 to 0.29 in 2021.

In 2021 we recorded 114 Lost Workday Injury Cases (LWIC). These are occupational injury cases where an injured person is unable to work for one or more days after the injury. This represents a 25% increase compared with 91 in 2020. The LWIC rate increased to 0.16 per 100 FTEs in 2021, compared with 0.12 in 2020. The number of Lost Workdays caused by injuries increased by 1,672 days (65%) to 4,236 days in 2021.

### 8.4.10Philips Foundation

Stichting Philips Foundation, an independent foundation organized under Dutch law, is a registered charity established in 2014. In 2021, Royal Philips supported the Philips Foundation with a contribution of EUR 6.7 million, and provided the operating staff as well as the expert assistance of skilled employees in the execution of the Foundation’s programs.

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

### 8.4.11Working with stakeholders

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

## 8.5Governance

### 8.5.1Corporate governance structure

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

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

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

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

### 8.5.2Philips Business System

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

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

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

For more information on the PBS, please refer to How we create value.

### 8.5.3Quality & Regulatory

Our business success depends on the quality of our products, services and solutions, and our compliance with many global regulations and standards. In 2021, we continued our transformation journey to accelerate our customer-focused global processes, procedures, standards, and patient safety & quality mindset, all with the goal of maintaining the highest possible level of quality for our customers and their patients.

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

#### Quality

Philips is committed to delivering the highest quality products, services and solutions compliant with all applicable laws and standards. We continuously strive to raise our performance in ensuring quality, which is reflected in our continued substantial investment to embed quality through the standardization and adoption of industry best practices throughout our Quality Management System. Quality is an integral part of the leadership and culture of what we do at Philips. Through this quality system improvement program, our aim is to elevate and ensure consistency in how we work, collaborate and make decisions together as we aim to improve the lives of 2 billion people a year by 2025, including 300 million in underserved communities, rising to 2.5 billion and 400 million respectively by 2030.

#### Regulatory Compliance

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

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

In the European Union (EU), the Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR) passed its date of application (May 26, 2021). Through the comprehensive EU-MDR program which has been running since 2018 and with a joint effort across all of Philips, we have passed this major milestone successfully. For a part of our product portfolio we make use of the Grace Period*) for various reasons including stock depletion, notified body capacity limitations and resource balancing. To achieve this major milestone we made an annual EU MDR investment of around EUR 30 million in 2021 and expect to have additional compliance costs for the new regulations of around EUR 13 million in 2022 to conclude the transition. We believe the global regulatory environment will continue to evolve, which could impact the cost, the time needed to approve, and ultimately, our ability to maintain existing approvals or obtain future approvals for our products.

##### Consent Decree

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

Following a successful inspection in Bothell, Washington, in April 2020, the FDA determined that Philips had met the conditions for resuming manufacturing and distribution of defibrillators in the US. The consent decree remains in effect for several years, during which the Emergency Care (formerly ECR) business will be subject to a series of annual assessments by an independent expert. Hospital Patient Monitoring (formerly Monitoring & Analytics), also named in the Consent Decree, is also under a heightened level of scrutiny over the same period.

Substantial progress continues to be made in our compliance efforts. In August 2021, the FDA inspected Emergency Care in Bothell again as a Consent Decree follow-up. Two observations (Form 483) were issued and subsequently remediated and reported to the FDA. The FDA later presented Emergency Care with four Establishment Inspection Reports dating back to 2015, signaling the closure of the four open inspections.

Even with these successes, however, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter, and the consent decree authorizes the FDA, in the event of any violations in the future, to order us to cease manufacturing and distributing Emergency Care or Hospital Patient Monitoring devices, recall products, pay liquidated damages, and take other actions. We also cannot currently predict whether additional monetary investment will be incurred to resolve this matter or the matter’s ultimate impact on our business.

#### Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification

On June 14, 2021, Philips’ subsidiary, Philips Respironics, initiated a voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products to address identified potential health risks related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices.

At the time of the June 2021 recall/field safety notice, Philips had received a limited number of reports of possible patient impact due to foam degradation, and no reports regarding patient impact related to chemical emissions. Philips continues to monitor complaints received following the recall/field safety notice via our Quality Management System, in accordance with the medical devices regulations and laws in the markets that we serve.

We are treating this matter with the highest possible seriousness, and are working to address this issue as efficiently and thoroughly as possible.

We are conducting a comprehensive test and research program and provided an update in December 2021 on the positive VOC test results related to the first-generation DreamStation devices.

The company has developed a comprehensive plan to replace the PE-PUR sound abatement foam used in earlier-generation devices with the new material used in the second-generation products such as DreamStation 2, which has been approved by the US FDA and regulatory authorities around the world, and has already begun this process. Philips Respironics has been working in close partnership with the US FDA, competent authorities, and other regulators around the world, as well as our customers, clinicians, and patients, to complete the needed repairs and replacements associated with this recall. In certain circumstances, the products in question may be replaced rather than repaired.

*)Where products, that were placed on the market under the predecessor of the EU-MDR, the EU-MDD, can continue to be placed on the market when meeting a subset of MDR requirements in addition to the MDD requirements.

### 8.5.4Remuneration policy

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

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

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

The performance targets for the members of the Board of Management are determined annually at the beginning of the year. The Supervisory Board determines whether performance conditions have been met and can adjust the payout of the annual cash bonus incentive and the long-term incentive grant upward or downward if the predetermined performance criteria were to produce an inappropriate result in extraordinary circumstances. The authority for such adjustments exists on the basis of contractual ultimum-remedium and claw-back clauses. In addition, pursuant to Dutch legislation effective January 1, 2014, incentives may, under certain circumstances, be amended or clawed back pursuant to statutory powers. For more information please refer to Corporate governance. Further information on the performance targets is given in the chapters on the Annual Incentive (see 2021 Annual Incentive) and the Long-Term Incentive Plan (see 2019 Long-Term Incentive) respectively.

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

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

##### What we do

*)The remuneration benchmarking peer group currently consists of 25 companies, being: Ahold Delhaize, AkzoNobel, ASML, Atos, BAE Systems, Becton Dickinson, Boston Scientific, Capgemini, Danaher, Electrolux, Ericsson, Essilor International, Essity (formerly SCA, company split), Fresenius Medical Care, Heineken, Henkel & Co, Medtronic, Nokia, Reckitt Benckiser, Roche, Rolls-Royce, Safran, Siemens Healthineers, Smith & Nephew, and Thales. (Alcatel Lucent was excluded as it was acquired by Nokia). This peer group differs from the TSR peer group, see 2019 Long-Term Incentive.

### 8.5.5General Business Principles

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

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

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

In 2021, a total of 610 concerns were reported via Philips Speak Up (Ethics Line) and through our network of GBP Compliance Officers. This represents an increase of 7% from the total of 571 concerns in the previous reporting period (2020).

While this is a continuation of the upward trend reported since 2014, the year in which Philips updated its General Business Principles and deployed a strengthened global communication campaign, the increase is flattening. Specifically in 2021, we focused on increasing awareness on Integrity and on the importance of speaking up, through and following up on the deployment of our biennial Business Integrity Survey. We still believe the upward trend in reporting remains in line with our multi-year efforts to encourage our employees to express their concerns, whilst realizing that the extraordinary business conditions in both 2020 and 2021 make it imprudent to draw any specific conclusions from these numbers.

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

### 8.5.6Risk management approach

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

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

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

### 8.5.7Total tax contribution

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

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

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

In 2021, Philips contributed to the communities where we operate through taxes paid (e.g. corporate income tax) and taxes collected (e.g. VAT). As part of its ESG commitments, Philips committed to provide transparency on its taxes paid and collected in the countries it operates in. Our Country Activity and Tax Report can be found on our website. Philips' total tax contribution in 2021, amounting to EUR 4,090 million, is presented by tax type in the following table.

# 9Risk management

## 9.1Our approach to risk management

### Vision and objectives

Philips approaches risk management as a value-creating activity that is integral to innovation and entrepreneurship. As such, it is part of the Philips Business System (PBS). Key elements are our Risk Management governance, Risk appetite, the Risk Management Process standard, the Philips Business Control Framework, and our General Business Principles (GBP), which are further described in this chapter. There can be no absolute assurance that our risk management will avoid or mitigate all risks that Philips faces. The material risks are described in Risk factors.

### Risk management governance

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

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

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

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

The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee initiates, drives and coordinates ESG strategy development, policy setting, disclosures and planning of programs and activities in relation to our ESG commitments. It administers ESG reporting, monitors progress, assesses risks in relation to Philips’ ESG strategy and makes recommendations to the Executive Committee on our ESG endeavors.

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

The Corporate governance chapter of this report addresses the main elements of the Company’s corporate governance structure, reports on how it applies the principles and best practices of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and provides certain other information relevant to risk management governance.

### Risk appetite

The Executive Committee and management seek to manage risks consistently within the risk appetite. Risk appetite is set by the Executive Committee and captured in the Risk Management Policy. It is effectuated through our PBS, of which various elements – such as our strategy, Philips business principles and behaviors, authority schedules, policies, process standards and performance management systems – include or reflect risk-taking guidance.

Philips’ risk appetite differs depending on the type of risk, ranging from an averse to a seeking approach. We believe we must operate within the dynamics of the health technology industry and take the risks needed to ensure we continually revitalize our offerings and the way we work. At the same time, Philips attaches prime importance to integrity, sustainability, product quality and patient safety, including compliance with regulations and quality standards. Risk appetite for the four main risk categories is visualized below. Philips does not classify these risk categories in order of importance.

### Risk management process

In order to provide a comprehensive view of Philips’ risks, structured risk assessments take place according to the Philips risk management process standard, applying a top-down and bottom-up approach. Our process standard is designed based on the Enterprise Risk Management Framework: Integrating with Strategy and Performance (2017) from the committee of sponsoring organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and on ISO 31000 - Risk Management. The process is supported by regular risk workshops with management at Group, Business, Market and Function levels. During 2021, several risk management workshops were held to assess and respond to enterprise risks.

Key elements of the Philips risk management process are:

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

Examples of measures taken during 2021 to further strengthen risk management:

- Continued development of our COVID-19 response program with the aim of being better prepared to respond to potential future events;
- Continued improvement and consolidation of our Quality Management Systems;
- Operating a Risk & Compliance (R&C) Center of Excellence to drive continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, capability building and risk transparency across various R&C areas;
- Further integration of standard risk management practices in regular performance and strategy execution dialogues;
- Continued improvement of our security (including cyber, product and supply chain) risk management capabilities;
- Various improvements to supply chain related risk, including supplier risk management and business continuity management;
- Further deployment of the recommendations from the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, particularly related to climate adaptation and transition risks; and
- Increased use of data analytics and automation in controls monitoring, and ongoing development of our enterprise governance, risk and compliance IT platform.

### Philips Business Control Framework

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

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

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

### Philips General Business Principles (GBP)

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

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

As part of our continuous effort to raise GBP awareness and foster dialogue throughout the organization, each year a global GBP communications and training plan is deployed, including our annual GBP Dialogue Initiative, aimed at reinforcing a culture of dialogue using ethical dilemma case studies that are relevant to our workforce. A key control to measure implementation of our GBP is the GBP Self-Assessment, which is part of our Internal Control framework. In addition, we continue to expand the capabilities of our legal compliance monitoring team, serving both our business customers as well as compliance networks with actionable compliance data, thus further improving our compliance control framework.

The GBP are supported by established mechanisms that ensure standardized reporting and enable both employees and third parties to escalate concerns 24/7. Concerns raised are registered consistently in a single database hosted outside of Philips servers to ensure confidentiality and security of identity and information. Encouraging people to speak up through the available channels if they have a concern will continue to be a cornerstone of our GBP communications and awareness campaigns. At least twice a year, the GBP Review Committee, as well as the Executive Committee and Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board, are informed on relevant GBP metrics, cases, trends and learnings.

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

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

## 9.2Risk factors

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

## 9.3Strategic risks

#### Philips may be unable to gain leadership in health informatics.

Fundamental developments in the health technology industry, such as use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), digital platforms delivering insights at scale, and the shift towards cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) business models, are dramatically changing our business environment. Our informatics businesses may fall behind ‘born digital’ competitors if Philips fails to timely develop and globally commercialize capabilities, adjust business models, introduce new products and services in response to these changes. This could result in an inability to satisfy patient and customer needs, thereby missing out on revenue and margin growth opportunities, which may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

#### Philips may be unable to transform its business model to health technology solutions and services.

As Philips’ business profile has shifted focus towards health technology, we believe we need to shift from transactional product-focused business models towards outcome-oriented, multi-year customer partnership business models enabled by solutions and value-added services. If this shift is made too slowly or is not successful, we may face a loss of customer relevance, inability to capture growth, and loss of market share. Given its health technology focus, Philips may have a reduced ability to offset such potential negative impacts on its health technology business by other businesses through a more diversified portfolio. The transition to solutions and services business models also raises a longer-term risk of (among other things) stronger customer dependency and default. Any of these factors may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

#### Philips’ global operations are exposed to macroeconomic and geopolitical changes.

Philips’ business environment can be adversely impacted by macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions in individual and global markets. There is general uncertainty with regard to macroeconomic factors, such as monetary and healthcare policies, regulatory change, public capital investments in healthcare ecosystems, consumer confidence and spending, pandemics, civil unrest and war amongst others. In particular, geopolitical tensions and protectionism have intensified and increasingly affect policies on trade, production, duties and taxation.

Mature economies are currently the main source of Philips’ revenues, while growth economies are an increasing source of revenues. Philips produces, sources and designs its products and services mainly from the US, the EU (primarily the Netherlands) and China, and the majority of Philips’ assets are located in these geographies. Changes in monetary, trade and tax policies in the US, China and EU may trigger reactions and countermeasures by and may have an adverse impact on other economies and international markets. Such measures may include tariffs, sanctions, local sourcing requirements, market access limitations, technology restrictions, data localization requirements and data transfer restrictions, import or export controls, mobility of talent, nationalization of assets, or restrictions on the repatriation of returns from foreign investments. These may lead to adverse impacts on global trade levels and flows, economic growth, financial market and political stability, all of which could adversely affect the demand for, and supply of, Philips' products and services. The factors described above, or other factors which may impact conditions relevant to Philips' business environment, are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results. They can also make it more difficult to budget and make reliable financial forecasts or could have a negative impact on Philips’ access to funding.

#### Acquisitions could fail to deliver on Philips’ business plans and value creation expectations, and we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired operations.

Selected acquisitions have been and are expected to remain part of Philips’ growth strategy. Acquisitions may expose Philips to integration and other risks in areas such as sales and service, logistics, regulatory compliance, legal claims, information technology and finance, and we may not be able to successfully or efficiently integrate new acquisitions with our existing operations, culture and systems. Integration challenges may adversely impact the realization of expected contributions from acquisitions. These transactions may incur significant costs, result in unforeseen operating difficulties, may also divert management attention from other business priorities, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. Cost savings expected to be implemented or other assumptions underlying the business plan relating to a particular acquisition may not be realized. If we are unable to accomplish any of our objectives at the independent operating subsidiaries we acquire, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and we may experience lower than anticipated profits, or even losses. Acquisitions may also lead to a substantial increase in long-lived assets, including goodwill, which may later be subject to write-down if an acquired business does not perform as expected, which may have a material adverse effect on Philips’ earnings.

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

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

#### Philips may be unable to meet internal or external aims or expectations with respect to ESG-related matters.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors may directly and indirectly impact the business environment in which Philips operates. Philips may from time to time disclose ESG-related initiatives or aims in connection with the conduct of its business and operations (for example with respect to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain). However, there is no guarantee that Philips will be able to implement such initiatives or meet such aims within anticipated timeframes, or at all. In addition, there is an increasing focus from Philips’ stakeholders – including customers, employees, regulators, and investors – on ESG matters, and those stakeholders may also have ESG-related expectations with respect to Philips’ business and operations. For example, customers may focus on ESG-related criteria in buying our products and any inability by Philips to address concerns about ESG-related matters could negatively impact sentiment towards Philips and our products and brands. There are an increasing number of regulatory and legislative initiatives to address ESG issues, such as the EU Taxonomy Regulation which aims to define common rules for determining whether economic activities contribute to sustainability objectives. These regulatory and legislative initiatives in turn could also affect how our products or business operations are perceived by customers or other stakeholders. If our products or business operations do not meet the criteria for sustainability according to the EU Taxonomy Regulation (including the related delegated regulations) or any other similar regulations, this may negatively affect the views of our customers or other stakeholders. Philips may fail to fulfil internal or external ESG-related initiatives, aims or expectations, or may be perceived to do so, or we may fail adequately or accurately to report performance or developments with respect to such initiatives, aims or expectations. In addition, Philips could be criticized or held responsible for the scope of its initiatives or goals regarding ESG matters. Any of these factors may have an adverse impact on Philips’ reputation and brand value or on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

## 9.4Operational risks

#### Products and services may fail quality or security standards, which may adversely affect patient safety and customer operations.

Our products and services, either new and/or in field use by our customers, may fail to meet product quality or product security standards, cause (patient) harm, negatively impact customer operations and their ability to provide healthcare, provide unauthorized access to patient records and medical devices through cyber security incidents, or generally cause customer dissatisfaction. Given Philips’ focus on health technology, products and services often require regulatory approvals, including approval of quality and benefit/risk prior to market introduction. Philips may experience issues with the quality of our products and services as a result of various factors, including product design, production, suppliers, materials used, installation, or newly emerging and rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats. These (and other) issues could cause events that need to be actively addressed, which may lead to (amongst others) higher costs of design, market activation, stop use, field recalls and repairs, as well as financial claims and liabilities, damage to our brand reputation, competitive disadvantage, regulatory non-compliance (refer to the Compliance risk section), and loss of market access and market share, any of which may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ market valuation, revenue growth and operating results. Many of our products also have multiple software components, which may be exposed to security threats, including in the event of obsolescence or insufficient maintenance.

Notwithstanding the proliferation of technology and technology-based control systems to detect defects or other errors in our products before they are released, our business ultimately relies on people as our greatest resource, and, from time-to-time, they make mistakes or engage in violations of applicable policies, laws, rules or procedures that are not always caught immediately by our technological processes or by our controls and other procedures, which are intended to prevent and detect such errors or violations. In addition to human error, our quality controls are also subject to overriding, and resource or technical constraints. As such, these quality controls and preventative measures may not be effective in detecting all defects or errors in our products before they have been released into the marketplace. In such an event, the technological reliability and safety of our products could be below our standards and our reputation, brand and sales could be adversely affected. In addition, we could be required to, or may find it necessary to, offer a refund for the product or service, suspend the availability or sale of the product or service or expend significant resources to cure the defect or error. Any of these factors may have in a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

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

Most of Philips’ operations are conducted internationally, which exposes Philips to supply chain challenges. Philips produces and procures products and parts in various countries globally and in addition is partly dependent on the production and procurement of products and parts from Asian countries, and disruption to production in and shipping from Asian countries could have a disproportionate impact on our business compared to disruptions in other markets. The production and shipping of products and parts, whether from Philips or from third-parties, could be interrupted by various factors such as geopolitics (e.g. US-China relations and protectionist measures taken in various markets), regional conflicts, natural disasters or extreme weather events, (the effects of which may be exacerbated by climate change), container imbalances or port congestions. As a recent example, our sales were impacted unfavorably by the intensified global supply chain issues, primarily related to the shortage of electronic components, poor ocean freight schedule reliability, and COVID-19 affecting suppliers. Although difficult to predict, supply chain headwinds are expected to continue throughout 2022, with a significant impact in the first quarter. There is currently scarcity in the availability of semi-conductors due to increased global demand: as a health technology company, Philips is dependent on the availability of semiconductors and continued scarcity may cause increased lead times and adversely impact our production capacity. Pandemics (e.g. resurgences of COVID-19 or mutations thereof) may disrupt supply chains due to rapid shifts in demand, need for production capacity adjustments and safety improvements in the environments for production, field service, installation and Research & Development in which our employees operate. Philips is also exposed to risks associated with delivery of products and services to customers (for example due to construction material or labor shortages), such as the issues with customer site readiness that Philips encountered in the fourth quarter of 2021, which resulted in (among other things) postponement of equipment installations in hospitals. Such delivery risks may be exacerbated by insufficient staffing levels or staffing disruptions at Philips, its customers or other third-party service providers, including as a result of COVID-19. If Philips is not able to respond swiftly to those various factors, this may result in an inability to deliver on customer needs, ultimately resulting in loss of revenue and margin.

A general shortage of materials (sub-) components or means of transportation drives the risk of fluctuations in price. Philips purchases raw materials, including rare-earth metals, copper, steel, aluminum, noble gases and oil-related products. Commodities have been subject to volatile markets, and such volatility is expected to continue and costs to increase, including as a result of stricter climate change related laws and regulations. Such legislation could require investments in technology to reduce energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions, beyond what we expect in our existing plans or could result in additional and increased carbon pricing. If Philips is not able to compensate for increased costs of (sub-) components, (raw) materials and transportation, reduce reliance thereon, or pass on increased costs to customers, then price increases could have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

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

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

Philips relies on information technology to operate and manage its businesses and store confidential data (relating to employees, customers, intellectual property, suppliers and other partners). Philips’ products, solutions and services increasingly contain sophisticated and complex information technology. We control and process confidential data related to patients and customers. The healthcare industry is subject to strict privacy, security and safety regulations with regard to a wide range of health information. At the same time geopolitical conflicts and criminal activity continue to drive increases in the number, severity and sophistication of cyber-attacks globally. Considering the general increase in cyber-crime, our customers and other stakeholders are becoming more demanding regarding the cybersecurity of our products and services. As a multinational health technology company, Philips is inherently and increasingly exposed to the risk of cyber-attacks. Information systems may be damaged, disrupted (including the provision of services to customers) or shut down due to cyber-attacks. In addition, breaches in the security of our systems (or the systems of our customers, suppliers or other partners) could result in the misappropriation, destruction or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information (including intellectual property) or personal data belonging to us or our employees, customers, suppliers or other partners. These risks are particularly significant with respect to patient medical records. Cyber-attacks may result in substantial costs and other negative consequences, which may include, but are not limited to, lost revenues, reputational damage, remediation and enhancement costs, and other liabilities to regulators, customers and other partners, or penalties. While Philips deals with the operational threat of cybercrime on a continuous basis and has so far been able to prevent significant damage or significant monetary cost in taking corrective action, there can be no assurance that future cyber-attacks will not result in significant or other consequences than as described above, which may result in a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

#### Philips is exposed to risks in connection with business transformation and IT system changes and continuity.

Philips expects to engage in multiple transformation programs to support the shift of our business and enable our IT landscape for our health technology strategy. If we do not effectively execute and deliver on those transformation programs, including any upgrades to the Philips IT architecture, this may result in us not realizing our business growth, operational excellence and solutions ambitions, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

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

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

The attraction and retention of talented employees is critical to Philips’ success and the loss of employees with specialized skills could result in business interruptions. There is fierce competition to attract talent in key capability segments and the heightened expectation of attrition post-pandemic increases the risk of loss of talent and critical skills. COVID-19 may continue to present challenges to team interactions and the onboarding of new people. Philips is competing for the best talent and most sought-after skills, and there is no assurance of succeeding compared to other companies in attracting and retaining the highly qualified employees needed in the future. Wage inflation is increasing the competition for talent and the cost of labor. This may negatively impact our ability to deliver on our strategic imperatives and if we are unable to offset the increased costs of labor through higher selling prices, then rising costs could also have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

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

COVID-19 continued to affect Philips’ operations and results in 2021 and Philips continues to see uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of COVID-19 across the world and in underserved communities in particular. This is driven by, among other things, the effectiveness of vaccination programs, mutations of COVID-19, and potentially new viruses which may cause new pandemics. COVID-19 may continue to impact delivery on our triple duty of care in various ways: the health and safety of our employees (in various working environments, such as production, supply, field service, Research & Development, and working from home); meeting critical customer needs (for example, our production capacity and our ability to deliver, install and provide service); and business continuity (for example, our functional operations, supply chain, and commercial processes). Responses to the risks of COVID-19 are expected to require effort and expense and may negatively affect Philips’ business, financial conditions and results of operations. In addition, Philips’ customers may not yet be fully focused on making new investments in medical equipment or may be facing liquidity issues caused by COVID-19, which may adversely impact Philips’ revenue and cash flow generation.

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

To gain sustainable competitive advantage and to deliver on our purpose and the Quadruple Aim (better health outcomes, improved patient experience, improved staff experience and lower cost of care), it is important that Philips continues to innovate and delivers these innovations to the market on a timely basis. The emergence of new low-cost competitors, particularly in Asia, further underlines the importance of improvements in the innovation process. Success in launching innovations depends on a number of factors, including defining the right value propositions, the right architecture and platform creation, development, market acceptance, production and delivery ramp-up, potential quality issues or other defects in the early stages of introduction. This also depends on the ability to attract and retain skilled employees. Costs of developing new products and solutions may be reflected on Philips’ balance sheet and may be subject to write-down or impairment depending on the performance of such products or services and the significance and timing of such write-downs or impairments are uncertain. Accordingly, Philips cannot determine in advance the ultimate effect that innovations will have on its financial condition and operating results. If Philips fails to create and commercialize its innovations, it may lose market share and competitiveness, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results.

## 9.5Compliance risks

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

Philips operates in a highly regulated health-technology product safety and quality environment and its products and services, including parts or materials from suppliers, are subject to regulation by various government and regulatory agencies (e.g. FDA (US), EMA (Europe), NMPA (China), MHRA (UK), ASNM (France), BfArM (Germany), and IGZ (the Netherlands)). In the European Union (EU), the Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) became effective in May 2021 and imposes significant additional pre-market and post-market requirements. Examples of other product-related regulations are the EU’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Energy-using Products (EuP) regulations. We are subject to various domestic, EU, US and foreign environmental laws and regulations, which are continuing to develop. Any failure to comply with such environmental laws and regulations could expose us to lawsuits, administrative penalties and civil remedies, which may have a material adverse impact on Philips’ business, financial condition and operating results.

Philips has observed an increase in security requirements in a variety of new and upcoming legislation dealing with market access of consumer goods, medical devices, information and communication technology (ICT) products, (cloud) services, and specific areas such as data protection, Artificial Intelligence and supply chain. Both regulators and customers require us to demonstrate legal compliance and adequate security management using national and international standards and associated certifications. Non-compliance with conditions imposed by regulatory authorities could result in product recalls, a temporary ban on products, stoppages at production facilities, remediation costs, fines, disgorgements of profits or claims for damages. Product safety incidents or user concerns could trigger inspections by the FDA or other regulatory agencies, which, if failed, could trigger the impacts described above as well as other consequences. These issues could adversely impact Philips’ financial condition or operating result through lost revenue and cost of any required remedial actions, penalties or claims for damages and could also negatively impact Philips’ reputation, brand, relationship with customers and market share.

#### Philips is exposed to the risks of non-compliance with business conduct rules and regulations, including anti-bribery, healthcare compliance and data privacy.

In the execution of its strategy, Philips could be exposed to the risk of non-compliance with business conduct rules and regulations. This risk is heightened in growth geographies, as the legal and regulatory environment is less developed compared to mature geographies. Examples of compliance risk areas include commission payments to third parties, remuneration payments to agents, distributors, consultants and the like, as well as the acceptance of gifts, which may be considered in some markets to be normal local business practice. The ongoing digitalization of Philips’ products and services, including its holding of personal health data and medical data, increases the importance of compliance with data privacy and similar laws. These risks could adversely affect Philips’ financial condition, reputation and brand and trigger the additional risk of exposure to governmental investigations, inquiries and legal proceedings and fines. For further details, please refer to the sub-section Legal proceedings within the Contingent assets and liabilities note to the Group Financial Statements.

## 9.6Financial risks

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

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

Philips’ financing and liquidity position may also impact its ability to implement or complete any share buyback program or distribute any dividends in accordance with its dividend policy or at all. Any announced share buyback program or dividend policy may also be amended, suspended or terminated at any time, including at Philips’ discretion or as a result of applicable law, regulation or regulatory guidance, and any such amendment, suspension or termination could negatively affect the trading price of, increase trading price volatility of or reduce the market liquidity of Philips’ shares or other securities. Additionally, any share buyback program or distribution of dividend could diminish Philips’ cash or other reserves, which may impact its ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities. Any share buyback program or dividend payment will depend on factors such as availability of financing, liquidity position, business outlook, cash flow requirements and financial performance, the state of the market and the general economic climate (including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) and other factors, including tax and other regulatory considerations. Philips and its subsidiaries may also be subject to limitations on the distribution of shareholders’ equity under applicable law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

# 11Supervisory Board report

## Letter from the Chairman of the Supervisory Board

###
Dear Stakeholder,

2021 was a challenging, mixed year for Philips, as the company saw strong performance across most of its core businesses offset by a number of significant headwinds – increasing supply chain pressures, the COVID-19-related postponement of equipment installations, and the consequences of the voluntary recall by Philips Respironics. However, in view of the strong customer demand and record-high order book, the company expects to resume its growth and margin expansion trajectory in the course of 2022, with a comparable sales decline at the start of the year followed by a recovery and strong second half of the year.

In June, Philips' subsidiary Respironics initiated a voluntary recall notification for certain sleep and respiratory care products, to address potential health risks related to the sound abatement foam in these devices. Following the substantial ramp-up of production, service and repair capacity in close dialogue with regulators across the world, the repair and replacement program is well under way in the United States and several other markets. As a company wholly committed to patient safety, Philips fully understands the impact this issue has had on patients and care givers.

In September, Philips successfully completed the sale of the Domestic Appliances business, concluding its major divestments. We believe this will allow Philips to focus fully on continuing its transformation into a solutions company and extending its leadership in health technology.

##### Strategy and portfolio continue to resonate with customers

Health systems around the world are striving to transform the delivery of care, with the aim of improving health outcomes, patient and staff experience, and productivity. Philips’ strategy and portfolio of innovations across the health continuum – supporting personal health, precision diagnosis, image-guided therapies and connected care, and leveraging the power of data and informatics – continues to resonate very well with customers.

In recent years, Philips has invested significantly in informatics and data science, as well as cloud technology, to enable the delivery of solutions across care settings. This drive continued in 2021 with the acquisitions of BioTelemetry and Capsule Technologies in particular, strengthening Philips’ leadership in patient care management solutions for the hospital and the home.

Customers’ appreciation for Philips’ strategy was underlined by the 80 long-term strategic partnerships the company signed with hospitals and health systems around the world in the course of the year.

##### ESG commitments

As a purpose-driven company, Philips has adopted a fully integrated approach to doing business responsibly and sustainably. In 2021, Philips continued to deliver on the key commitments set out in its Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) framework – e.g. by remaining carbon-neutral in its own operations, by engaging with suppliers and customers to help minimize environmental impact across the value chain, as well as by leading the transition to a circular economy and extending access to care for underserved communities. In 2021, Philips also published its first Country Activity and Tax Report, providing transparency on taxes paid and collected in the countries where it operates.

##### Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board spent several sessions in 2021 reviewing, among other things, the Philips Respironics recall, quality, strategy, risk, business controls, financial and business performance, as well as its talent pipeline and succession planning, and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) programs.

At the AGM in May, the Supervisory Board was strengthened by the addition of Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong. Indra Nooyi is a proven business leader in the consumer sectors, with a strong track record of delivering sustained profitable growth, while doing business sustainably and responsibly. Chua Sock Koong brings in-depth knowledge of information technology and the growth of digital services businesses, as well as extensive experience of business in Asia. Their strategic insights will be of great value to our Board and to Philips, as the company strives to expand its leadership in health technology solutions.

We are also very pleased to propose Herna Verhagen and Sanjay Poonen as new members of the Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on May 10, 2022. With her proven track record in driving a customer-first company culture and a background in e-commerce logistics, Herna Verhagen will bring valued and new perspectives to the Supervisory Board, while Sanjay Poonen’s extensive experience in enterprise IT and cloud-enabled business models will further strengthen the Supervisory Board’s digital competencies.

I am honored to have taken over the role as Chairman of the Supervisory Board in May 2021. I would like to record the Supervisory Board’s gratitude to my predecessor, Jeroen van der Veer, for his many years of leadership. I also wish to thank Christine Poon and Orit Gadiesh, who stepped down from the Supervisory Board in 2021, and Neelam Dhawan, who will step down at the end of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2022, for their long-term counsel and support. Together with my fellow Supervisory Board members, I look forward to providing continued oversight of Philips as it acts on its purpose of improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation, and advising the Board of Management where applicable.

Feike Sijbesma

Chairman of the Supervisory Board

### Introduction Supervisory Board Report

The Supervisory Board supervises and advises the Board of Management and Executive Committee in performing their management tasks and setting the direction of the business of the Philips Group. As members of the Supervisory Board, we act in the interests of Royal Philips, its businesses and all its stakeholders. This report includes a more speciﬁc description of the Supervisory Board’s activities during the ﬁnancial year 2021 and other relevant information on its functioning.

### Activities of the Supervisory Board

The overview below indicates key matters that we reviewed and/or discussed during meetings in the course of 2021:

- Regular assessments of the company’s overall strategy to extend its leadership as a health technology company. These included reviews of the strategic priorities for each of the business clusters, the company’s informatics strategy and its strategy in key markets and the Philips Business System (the company’s standard operating model). An external expert provided the Supervisory Board with an external perspective on digital health in the coming five years and the challenges and opportunities this brings to the company;
- Regular reviews of the company’s acquisitions, divestments and partnerships funnel;
- Selected acquisitions and divestments, including the acquisitions of BioTelemetry, Inc., Capsule Technologies, Inc., Cardiologs (closed on January 7, 2022), and Vesper Medical Inc. (closed on January 11, 2022) and the divestment of the Domestic Appliances business;
- The (business) performance of the Philips Group and its underlying businesses, as well as the company’s flexibility under its capital structure and credit ratings to pay dividends and to fund capital investments, including share repurchases and other financial initiatives and the EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program the company announced on July 26, 2021;
- The (business) performance of companies previously acquired by the company;
- Oversight of the adequacy of financial and internal controls;
- Capital allocation, including the dividend policy and pay-out and the M&A framework;
- The performance of the Integrated Supply Chain and an update on the key transformation programs and the progress made;
- Geopolitical developments and their impact on Philips’ business;
- Philips’ annual management commitments, including the 2022 key performance indicators for the Executive Committee, the 2022 targets for such key performance indicators, and the annual operating plan for 2022;
- Quality & Regulatory compliance, systems and processes. In view of the Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification related to the sound abatement foam in certain sleep and respiratory care products (announced on June 14, 2021), the Supervisory Board regularly discussed this issue and the progress made with respect to the repair and replacement program with Management. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board was regularly updated on the internal Accelerating Patient Safety and Quality program that was launched by the company in the course of 2021.

### Supervisory Board meetings and attendance

In 2021, the members of the Supervisory Board convened for seven regular meetings and two extraordinary meetings. Moreover, we collectively and individually interacted with members of the Board of Management, the Executive Committee and with senior management outside the formal Supervisory Board meetings. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the CEO met regularly for bilateral discussions about the company’s progress on a variety of matters. Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong, appointed to the Supervisory Board with effect from May 6, 2021, followed an induction program and interacted with the members of the Board of Management and various Executive Committee members for deep dives on strategy, finance and investor relations, governance and legal affairs.

The Supervisory Board meetings were well attended in 2021. All Supervisory Board members were present during the Supervisory Board meetings in 2021, with the exception of one member unable to attend the January 2021 meeting, one member unable to attend the February 2021 meeting, and one member unable to attend the October 2021 meeting. The committees of the Supervisory Board also convened regularly (see the separate reports of the committees below) and the committees reported back on their activities to the full Supervisory Board. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Board members held private meetings. We, as members of the Supervisory Board, devoted sufficient time to engage (proactively if the circumstances so required) in our supervisory responsibilities.

Because of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees were mostly held virtually and there have been limited local site visits by Supervisory Board members.

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

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

The Supervisory Board currently consists of nine members. In 2021, there were a number of changes to the composition of the Board, all effective as per (the end of) the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held in 2021. Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong were each appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board for a term of four years. The term of appointment of Jeroen van der Veer and Christine Poon expired and Orit Gadiesh stepped down from the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board appointed Feike Sijbesma as Chair of the Supervisory Board, and Paul Stoffels as Vice-Chair and Secretary of the Supervisory Board.

The agenda for the upcoming 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will include proposals to re-appoint Paul Stoffels and Marc Harrison as members of the Supervisory Board and to appoint Herna Verhagen and Sanjay Poonen as new members of the Supervisory Board. At the end of the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the term of appointment of Neelam Dhawan will expire. She will step down from the Supervisory Board after having served a decade on the Supervisory Board. We, as members of the Supervisory Board, would like to take this opportunity to thank Neelam Dhawan for her contributions to our work and are very pleased with the availability of the proposed new members (subject to their appointment at the 2022 AGM).

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

The Supervisory Board spent time in 2021 considering its composition, as well as the composition of the Executive Committee (including the Board of Management). Currently, the composition of the Supervisory Board meets the above-mentioned gender diversity goals, as 44% of the Supervisory Board members (4 out of 9) are female. Overall, 32% (7 out of 22) of the positions to which the Diversity Policy applies (Supervisory Board and Executive Committee/Board of Management) are held by women. Upon the proposed (re-)appointments at the upcoming 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, 40% of the Supervisory Board members (4 out of 10) will be female and 30% of the positions to which the Diversity Policy applies will be held by women. The proposed (re)appointments are in accordance with the mandatory gender quota imposed by Dutch law, effective 2022, requiring that at least one-third of the supervisory board members are women (and at least one-third are men).

As explained in the report of the Corporate Governance and Nomination and Selection Committee and the section Inclusion & Diversity of this Annual Report, the company continues its efforts to enhance inclusion and diversity in the entire organization. Philips’ company-wide commitment towards Inclusion & Diversity is reflected in the Inclusion & Diversity Policy, the General Business Principles and the Fair Employment Policy, which were all updated in 2021. The company continues to put in place measures to enhance diversity and inclusion at all levels within the organization. Philips has set a goal of 35% gender diversity in senior leadership positions (a subset of Management and Executive positions) by the end of 2025. The Supervisory Board expects these efforts to contribute to the achievement of the company’s gender (and other) diversity goals, although there may be various pragmatic reasons – such as other relevant selection criteria and the availability of suitable candidates – that could have an impact on the achievement of our goals. The Supervisory Board will continue to devote attention to this topic in 2022.

In 2021, each member of the Supervisory Board completed a questionnaire to verify compliance with the applicable corporate governance rules and the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board. The outcome of this survey was satisfactory.

An independent external party facilitated the 2021 self-evaluation process for the Supervisory Board and its committees. This included drafting and submitting relevant questionnaires, interviewing members of the Supervisory Board as well as aggregating and reporting on the results. The questionnaires covered topics such as the composition of the Supervisory Board and the required profile (in terms of skills and experience, geographical coverage and diversity) of future Supervisory Board members, stakeholder oversight, strategic oversight, the management and focus of the meetings of the Supervisory Board, the effectiveness of the Supervisory Board’s oversight of various aspects of the company’s business (such as product and service quality), risk management, succession planning and human resources oversight, the engagement with Management and recommendations to improve the Supervisory Board’s functioning and ways of working going forward. Furthermore, the performance of the Chairman and of the Supervisory Board’s committees was evaluated separately.

The report on the results of the self-evaluation was shared and discussed in a private meeting of the Supervisory Board. The responses provided by the Supervisory Board members indicated that the Supervisory Board continues to be a well-functioning team, is of an appropriate size and benefits from expertise, diversity and international representation. A number of suggestions were made to further strengthen the Supervisory Board going forward, focusing among others on the following topics: knowledge of medical technology, the key regulatory regimes applicable to the company, the company’s approach to research and development, product design, manufacturing and suppliers (including in the context of quality and patient safety), the overall control structure and reporting lines in the company and succession planning. Early 2022, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board discussed the results of the self-evaluation with each of the individual members of the Supervisory Board, and the evaluation of his own functioning with the Vice-Chairman. Finally, the Supervisory Board noted the smooth transition of the role of the Chairman in 2021.

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

### Supervisory Board committees

While retaining overall responsibility, the Supervisory Board has assigned certain of its tasks to the three long-standing committees, also referred to in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code: the Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee. In 2015, the Supervisory Board also established the Quality & Regulatory Committee. The separate reports of these committees are part of this Supervisory Board report and are published below.

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

### Financial Statements 2021

The financial statements of the company for 2021, as presented by the Board of Management, have been audited by Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, the independent external auditor appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders. We have approved these financial statements, and all individual members of the Supervisory Board have signed these documents (as did the members of the Board of Management).

We recommend to shareholders that they adopt the 2021 financial statements. We likewise recommend to shareholders that they adopt the proposal of the Board of Management to make a distribution of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income of 2021.

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to the members of the Board of Management, the Executive Committee and all other employees for their continued contribution throughout 2021.

### Further information

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

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

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

The Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee is chaired by Feike Sijbesma. Its other members are Paul Stoffels (who joined in the course of 2021) and Indra Nooyi (who joined after her appointment as member of the Supervisory Board at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders). The Committee is responsible for the review of selection criteria and appointment procedures for the Board of Management, the Executive Committee, certain other key management positions, as well as the Supervisory Board.

In 2021, Corporate Governance and Nomination & Selection Committee members held five meetings and all Committee members attended these meetings.

The Committee devoted time to the appointment or reappointment of candidates to fill current and future vacancies on the Supervisory Board. Following those consultations, it prepared decisions and advised the Supervisory Board on candidates for appointment. This resulted in appointment of Indra Nooyi and Chua Sock Koong as members of the Supervisory Board at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. This also resulted in the proposals to re-appoint Paul Stoffels and Marc Harrison as members of the Supervisory Board and to appoint Herna Verhagen and Sanjay Poonen as new members of the Supervisory Board at the upcoming 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Under its responsibility for the selection criteria and appointment procedures for Philips’ senior management, the Committee reviewed the functioning of the Board of Management and its individual members, the Executive Committee succession plans and emergency candidates for key roles in the company. The conclusions from these reviews were taken into account in the performance evaluation of the Board of Management and Executive Committee members and the selection of succession candidates. Reference is made to 2022 Annual Incentive, setting out the performance review of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee members by the Remuneration Committee.

In 2021, the Committee devoted time to the appointment or reappointment of candidates to fill current and future vacancies on the Board of Management and the Executive Committee. This resulted in the re-appointment of Marnix van Ginneken as a member of the Board of Management at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Furthermore, Shez Partovi was appointed as a member of the Executive Committee in his role as Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer, effective July 2021, succeeding Jeroen Tas who stepped down from the Executive Committee at the same time. Rob Cascella and Henk de Jong stepped down from the Executive Committee effective April 2021 and September 2021 respectively.

With respect to corporate governance matters, the Committee discussed relevant developments and legislative changes, including the introduction in Dutch law of a gender quota for supervisory boards, expected Dutch legislation on virtual-only general meetings of shareholders, and European developments in the area of ESG reporting.

### Diversity

In 2017, the Supervisory Board adopted a Diversity Policy for the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee, which is published on the company website. The Committee periodically assesses the Diversity Policy and the size and composition of the Supervisory Board and makes recommendations, if relevant, relating to the profile for the Supervisory Board.

The criteria in the Diversity Policy aim to ensure that the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee have the expertise needed for a good understanding of current affairs and longer-term risks and opportunities related to the company’s business and sufficient diversity of views to provide appropriate challenge. The nature and complexity of the company’s business is taken into account when assessing optimal board diversity, as well as the social and environmental context in which the company operates. As explained in its report, the full Supervisory Board spent time in 2021 considering its composition, as well as the composition of the Executive Committee (including the Board of Management). Pursuant to the Diversity Policy, the selection of candidates for appointment to the Supervisory Board, Board of Management and Executive Committee will be based on merit. With due regard to the above, the company shall seek to fill vacancies by considering candidates that bring a diversity of (amongst others) age, gender and educational and professional backgrounds.

## 11.2Report of the Remuneration Committee

### 11.2.1Letter from the Remuneration Committee Chair

###### Dear Stakeholder,

On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to report on the Committee’s activities in 2021 and to present the 2021 Remuneration Report on behalf of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board.

#### Looking back at the decisions made during the year

The Remuneration Committee has taken a number of decisions and approaches in this past year.

We were pleased that Mr Marnix van Ginneken remained available to be a member of the Board of Management, and our shareholders re-appointed him at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The Remuneration Committee prepared a new service agreement for him which was shared with our shareholders ahead of the shareholders meeting.

We have noted that a certain number of advisory votes were cast against our Remuneration Report 2020 at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. During our regular engagements with shareholders and institutional advisory organizations some of them raised concerns around our explanation of adjustments made to the adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) metric in the Long-Term Incentive Plan for the Board of Management. Whilst we consider our approach in line with our current Remuneration Policy (as adopted in 2020), we have enhanced the disclosure on adjusted EPS performance in this year’s Remuneration Report.

In line with our company-wide delay of salary increases, necessary for cost containment as per the company operating plans, the Supervisory Board followed the proposal of the Remuneration Committee to defer the base salary increases for Messrs Abhijit Bhattacharya and Marnix van Ginneken from April 1 to July 1, 2021. The base salary of Mr Van Houten remained unchanged.

#### Company performance despite headwinds

Philips’ remuneration policy is designed to encourage its employees to deliver on the company’s purpose and strategy, create stakeholder value, and to provide motivation and retention. When assessing the Annual Incentive and Long-Term Incentive performance, the Remuneration Committee acknowledged Philips’ strong growth in its Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health business segments, contributing to the improvement of the health and well-being of 1.67 billion people globally. Moreover, the organic and inorganic portfolio extensions have made Philips’ products, services, and solutions portfolio more competitive than ever, resulting in 80 new long-term strategic partnerships, as well as an all-time-high order book. The company also delivered on focusing its portfolio by successfully divesting the Domestic Appliances business to Hillhouse Investment, realizing a significant financial gain.

At the same time, the Remuneration Committee considered the significant headwinds that Philips experienced in 2021, due to the unprecedented external supply chain constraints and the consequences of the voluntary Philips Respironics field action. The Annual Incentive and Long-Term Incentive pay-out was impacted significantly by these factors, reducing the realized Total Direct Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer for 2021 to less than half of such compensation for 2020 (taking into account the closing share price at the end of the relevant performance period).

No adjustments were made for the Philips Respironics field action, and the negative impact thereof is fully included in the Annual Incentive realization and the LTI Plan EPS achievement. However, the Remuneration Committee took into account that certain external supply chain constraints affected the Company’s results beyond its control, considering that Philips’ business portfolio is heavily exposed to the availability of specific electronic components. Consequently, we recommended to the Supervisory Board to partially adjust this impact for Annual Incentive and Long-Term Incentive calculation purposes, balancing financial performance over the year against the continued progress made on the company’s strategic roadmap, amidst the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on society and our employees. Furthermore, the Remuneration Committee excluded the financial gain derived from the sale of the Domestic Appliances business, while adding back the operational result of this business for the Long-Term Incentive to attain comparability versus target (which was set in 2019 and includes this business). The Remuneration Committee values to uphold the principle that the Annual Incentive and Long-Term Incentive adjustment methodology is applied uniformly and equitably across the Company at large including the members of the Board of Management.

Overall, this resulted in a realized below target Annual Incentive payout of 64% of target for Frans van Houten, 57% of target for Abhijit Bhattacharya, and 64% of target for Marnix van Ginneken. The 2019 Long-Term Incentive plan vested significantly below target, paying out at 38% of target, based on Company performance against the original targets set in 2019. The Remuneration Committee concluded that the reduced payout of the Annual Incentive and the significantly reduced vesting of the Long-Term Incentive appropriately reflected Company performance. At the same time, the Remuneration Committee considered that pay for performance was reflected by proportionally recognizing the significant progress on strategic and operational goals during 2021, while also being mindful of the engagement, motivation and retention of the wider talent group across the Company.

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

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

Our annual Remuneration Committee cycle enables us to have an effective decision-making process supporting the determination, review and implementation of the Remuneration Policy. The main (recurring) activities during the annual cycle are outlined in the following table:

July to September: | October to December: | January to March: | April to June:
--- | --- | --- | ---
Review the Remuneration Policy in line with the business strategy and priorities and assess the need for changes | Engage in stakeholder dialogues regarding the Remuneration Policy and proposed changes for the next year (if any) | Evaluate business performance and achievement of Annual and Long-Term Incentive targets | Effectuate compensation level changes
Review the Remuneration Committee Charter | Assess compensation levels against the median of the Quantum Peer Group for compensation benchmarking purposes | Rigorous target setting of the performance metrics for the upcoming year and multi-year LTI cycle | Prepare and hold the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders including a discussion on the implementation of the Remuneration Policy
| Conduct scenario analyses | Set compensation levels for the upcoming year based on the assessment against the Quantum Peer Group |
| Prepare Remuneration Report for the previous year |  |

The Committee met five times in 2021. All Committee members were present during these meetings.

At Philips, our purpose is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. The Remuneration Committee believes that the Remuneration Policy (and Long-Term Incentive Plan) for the Board of Management supports this purpose. Please refer to the Remuneration Report below, for the way the Remuneration Policy has been implemented in the year 2021.

Paul Stoffels
Chairman of the Remuneration Committee

### 11.2.2Remuneration report 2021

In this Remuneration Report, the Supervisory Board provides a comprehensive overview, in accordance with article 2:135b of the Dutch Civil Code, of the remuneration paid and owed to the individual members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board respectively in the financial year 2021. The report will also be published as a stand-alone document on the company’s website after the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the agenda of which will include an advisory vote on this Remuneration Report.

#### Board of Management

##### Summary of Remuneration Policy

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

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

Thus, the Remuneration Policy:

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

##### Main elements of the Remuneration Policy

Compensation element | Purpose and link to strategy | Operation | Policy Level
--- | --- | --- | ---
Total Direct Compensation | To support the Remuneration Policy’s objectives, the Total Direct Compensation includes a significant variable part in the form of an Annual Incentive (cash bonus) and Long-Term Incentive in the form of performance shares. As a result, a significant proportion of pay is ‘at risk’. | The Supervisory Board ensures that a competitive remuneration package for Board-level executive talent is maintained and benchmarked. The positioning of Total Direct Compensation is reviewed against benchmark data on an annual basis and is recalibrated if and when required. To establish this benchmark, data research is carried out each year on the compensation levels in the Quantum Peer Group. | Total direct remuneration is aimed at or close to, the median of the Quantum Peer Group.
Annual Base Compensation | Fixed cash payments intended to attract and retain executives of the highest caliber and to reflect their experience and scope of responsibilities. | Annual Base Compensation levels and any adjustments made by the Supervisory Board are based on factors including the median of Quantum Peer Group data and performance and experience of the individual member. The annual review date for the base salary is typically before April 1. | The individual salary levels are shown in this Remuneration Report.
Annual Incentive | Variable cash bonus incentive of which achievement is tied to specific financial and non-financial targets derived from the company’s annual strategic plan. These targets are set at challenging levels and are partly linked to the results of the company (80% weighting) and partly to the contribution of the individual member (20% weighting). | The payout in any year relates to the achievements of the preceding year. Metrics are disclosed ex-ante in the Remuneration Report and there will be no retroactive changes to the selection of metrics used in any given year once approved by the Supervisory Board and disclosed. | President & CEO On-target: 100% Maximum: 200% of Annual Base Compensation. Other BoM members On-target: 80% Maximum: 160% of Annual Base Compensation.
Long-Term Incentive | Our Long-Term Incentives form a substantial part of total remuneration, with payouts contingent on achievement of challenging EPS targets, relative TSR performance against a high performing peer group and sustainability objectives that are directly aligned with our purpose to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. | The annual award size is set by reference to a multiple of base salary. The actual number of performance shares to be awarded is determined by reference to the average of the closing price of the Royal Philips share on the day of publication of the first quarterly results and the four subsequent trading days. Dependent upon the achievement of the performance conditions, cliff-vesting applies three years after the date of grant. During the vesting period, the value of dividends will be added to the performance shares in the form of shares. These dividend-equivalent shares will only be delivered to the extent that the award actually vests. | President & CEO Annual grant size: 200% of Annual Base Compensation. Other BoM members Annual grant size: 150% of Annual Base Compensation. Maximum vesting opportunity is 200% of the number of performance shares granted.
Mandatory share ownership and holding requirement | To further align the interests of executives to those of stakeholders and to motivate the achievement of sustained performance. | The guideline for members of the Board of Management is to hold at least a minimum shareholding in the company. Until this level has been reached the members of the Board of Management are required to retain all after-tax shares derived from any Long-Term Incentive Plan. All Board of Management members have reached the required share ownership level. The shares granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan shall be retained for a period of at least 5 years or until at least the end of their contract period if this period is shorter. The guideline does not require members of the Board of Management to purchase shares in order to reach the required share ownership level. | The minimum shareholding requirement is 400% of annual base compensation for the CEO and 300% for other members of the Board of Management.
Pension | Pension plan and pension contribution intended to result into an appropriate level at retirement. | Defined Contribution plan with fixed contribution (applicable to all executives in the Netherlands – capped at EUR 112,189). Gross allowance of 25% of annual base compensation exceeding EUR 112,189. Temporary gross transition allowance offsetting historical plan changes.
Additional arrangements | To aid retention and remain competitive within the marketplace | Additional arrangements include expense and relocation allowances, medical insurance, accident insurance and company car arrangements, which are in line with other Philips executives in the Netherlands. The members of the Board of Management also benefit from coverage under the company’s Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance. The company does not grant personal loans to members of the Board of Management.

##### Peer Groups

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

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

The Remuneration Policy and the Long-Term Incentive Plan allow changes to the peer groups to be made by the Supervisory Board without approval from the General Meeting of Shareholders in respect of up to three companies on an annual basis (for instance: following a delisting of a company or, a merger of two peer companies), or six companies in total during the four years following adoption and approval of the Remuneration Policy and the Long-Term Incentive Plan respectively (or, if earlier, until the adoption or approval of a revised Remuneration Policy or revised Long-Term Incentive Plan). Following the divestment of the Domestic Appliances business, the Supervisory Board has decided to remove Groupe SEB and De'Longhi from the TSR Performance Peer Group and replace them with Alcon and Reckitt Benckiser. Furthermore, due to Hitachi's change in business portfolio, the Supervisory Board has decided to replace this TSR peer company with Canon. No changes were made to the Quantum Peer Group during 2021.

##### Services agreements

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

### 11.2.3Remuneration of the Board of Management in 2021

The Supervisory Board has determined the 2021 pay-outs and awards to the members of the Board of Management, upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy and Long-Term Incentive Plan as adopted and approved respectively by our shareholders during the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, the Supervisory Board has determined the 2021 pay-out of the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which the performance period ended on December 31, 2021. This was done in accordance with the Long-Term Incentive Plan as approved during the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Remuneration Committee annually conducts a scenario analysis. This includes the calculation of remuneration under different scenarios, whereby different Philips performance assumptions and corporate actions are examined. The Supervisory Board concluded that the relationship between the strategic objectives and the chosen performance criteria for the 2021 Annual Incentive, as well as 2019 Long-Term Incentive performance criteria, were adequate.

#### Annual Base Compensation

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Management has been reviewed as part of the regular remuneration review. In the case of Frans van Houten, the annual compensation remained unchanged in 2021 compared to 2020 at EUR 1,325,000. As a result of the review, the annual compensation of Abhijit Bhattacharya and Marnix van Ginneken has been increased per July 1, 2021, from EUR 785,000 to EUR 795,000 and EUR 595,000 to EUR 615,000 respectively. This increase was made to move the total compensation level closer to the market median level, as well as to reflect internal relativities. Typically, any salary increase is implemented on April 1, however all merit and promotional salary increases for senior management globally were delayed from April 1, 2021 to July 1, 2021.

#### 2021 Annual Incentive

The Annual Incentive performance has been assessed based on Company financial results as well as individual results. For Frans van Houten, Abhijit Bhattacharya and Marnix van Ginneken, payout of the Annual Incentive is significantly below target level at 64%, 57% and 64% (of target) respectively. Details are as follows:

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

In line with the Remuneration Policy, the Company sets financial targets in advance of the year for all members of the Board of Management. For the year 2021, the financial targets set at Group level cover Comparable Sales Growth*), EBITA*) and free cash flow*). As the Company did only partially reach its strategic and operational objectives, this resulted in a partial payout on comparable sales growth*), no payout on EBITA*) and a partial payout on free cash flow*).

To recognize the underlying progress, certain adjustments were included for restructuring and acquisition related costs as well as specific unexpected events that were outside of management’s control, to the extent they have not been reflected in the original targets. Due to the external supply chain constraints and component shortages, the Company experienced a significant delay in sales recognition, even though its order book stands at an all-time high. This was considered partially – i.e. 50% of the sales impact of EUR 498 million which corresponds to 1.5% of comparable sales growth*) – in the calculation of the comparable sales growth*) and corresponding impacts on EBITA*) and free cash flow*) realization, based on a detailed analysis of the value of confirmed orders that could not be translated to revenue in 2021 as expected by customers and planned by the company. No adjustments were made for the sales loss and any costs associated with the Philips Respironics field action, and hence the negative impact of the field action is fully included in the Annual Incentive realization.

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

To determine the payout levels for the individual goals, the Supervisory Board applies a holistic assessment as to the performance against the set goals as well as the relative weighting of the goal categories. These relative weightings are not in all cases equal, but such that any goal category remains relevant and aligned with the strategic priorities for the year. Pay-outs are above target given the progress the Company has made on its roadmap, despite the headwinds faced in 2021.

#### 2022 Annual Incentive

The Annual Incentive criteria consist of:

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

For the year 2022, the following financial indicators of the company’s results are selected to ensure alignment with the key (strategic) priorities in the year:

- Profit/margin
- Revenue/growth
- Cash flow

Confirmed orders for which installations were delayed from 2021 to 2022, were taken into account when setting target levels for 2022 (i.e. to avoid double counting).

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

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

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

For the year 2022, the following performance categories are selected to ensure alignment with the key (strategic) priorities in the year:

Board of Management Member | Selected performance categories

#### 2019 Long-Term Incentive

The 3-year performance period of the 2019 performance share grant ended on December 31, 2021. The realization is based on TSR achievement and adjusted EPS growth, and significantly below target with a vesting level of 38% (of target). Details are as follows:

##### TSR (50% weighting)

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

Philips Group

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

The TSR achieved by Philips during the performance period was 14.08%, using a start date of October 2018 and end date of December 2021. This resulted in Philips being positioned at rank 16 in the TSR performance peer group shown in the following table, resulting in a TSR achievement of 0%.

The 2021 EPS based on reported net income attributable to shareholders amounted to EUR 3.67. To eliminate the impact of any share buyback, stock dividend, etc., the number of common shares outstanding (after deduction of treasury shares) on the day prior to the beginning of the performance period is used, resulting in an EPS of EUR 3.63. This is adjusted with the extraordinary gain related to the divestiture of Domestic Appliances while adding back the operational result of the Domestic Appliances business for comparative purposes as per original targets. In accordance with our Remuneration Policy the LTI Plan EPS includes a number of adjustments that were deemed appropriate by the Supervisory Board. These relate mainly to the profit and loss impact of acquisitions and divestitures (positive adjustment), impact of foreign exchange variations versus plan (positive adjustment), profit and loss impact of legal cases (negative adjustment including a reversal of an adjustment made in 2020, as the legal matter it related to was resolved in favor of Philips) and a partial adjustment of the profit and loss impact of external supply chain constraints and component shortages (positive adjustment). The Remuneration Committee opted for a 75% adjustment (versus a 50% adjustment for AI purposes) of the net income impact, to reflect the disproportionate impact as the LTI plan EPS is measured based on the last year of the three-year performance period. No adjustments have been made for the impact of the Philips Respironics field action. Overall, this resulted in an LTI Plan EPS of EUR 1.43 based on adjusted net income from continuing operations, leading to a realization of 76% of target.

In view of the above, the following performance achievement and vesting levels have been determined by the Supervisory Board in respect of the 2019 grant of performance shares:

Philips Group

Performance achievement and vesting levels

| achievement | weighting | vesting level
--- | --- | --- | ---
TSR | 0% | 50% | 0%
EPS | 76% | 50% | 38%
Total |  |  | 38%

#### 2022 Long-Term Incentive

The vesting of the 2022 Long-Term Incentive grant consisting of performance shares is subject to performance over a period of 3 years and based on two financial criteria and one non-financial criterion:

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

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

#### Pension

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

- Flex ES Pension Plan in the Netherlands, which is a Collective Defined Contribution plan with a fixed contribution of (currently) 30.3% (including an own contribution of 2%) of the maximum pensionable salary of EUR 112,189 (effective January 1, 2021) minus the offset. The Flex ES Plan has a target retirement age of 68 and a target accrual rate of 1.85%;
- A gross Pension Allowance equal to 25% of the base compensation exceeding EUR 112,189;
- A temporary gross Transition Allowance, for a maximum period of 8 years (first 5 years in full; year 6: 75%; year 7: 50%, year 8: 25%) for members of the Board of Management who were participants of the former Executive Pension Plan. The level of the allowance is based on the age and salary of the Board member on December 31, 2014.

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

#### Total remuneration costs in 2021

The following table gives an overview of the costs incurred by the company in 2021 and 2020 in relation to the remuneration of the Board of Management. Costs related to performance shares and restricted share right grants are recognized by the company over a number of years. Therefore, the costs mentioned below in the performance shares column are the accounting cost of multi-year Long-Term Incentive grants to members of the Board of Management. Actual payout to the members of the Board of Management varies per year depending on company performance, please refer to section 2019 Long-Term Incentive for more details on the actual vesting of the performance shares.

1)Reference date for board membership is December 31, 2021.2)Annual base compensation as incurred in the year, base compensation increases are reflected proportionally.3)Costs of performance shares are based on accounting standards (IFRS) and do not reflect the value of stock options at the end of the lock up period and the value of performance shares at the vesting/release date .4)The Pension Transition Allowances were maintained at the current level for Messrs van Houten and Bhattacharya for the term of their services agreements. The total pension cost of the Company related to the pension arrangement (including the aforementioned Transition Allowance) is at a comparable level over a period of time to the pension costs under the former Executive Pension Plan.5)The stated amounts mainly concern (share of) allowances to members of the Board of Management that can be considered as remuneration. In a situation where such a share of an allowance can be considered as (indirect) remuneration (for example, private use of the company car), then the share is both valued and accounted for here. The method employed by the fiscal authorities is the starting point for the value stated.6)Fixed remuneration is determined as the sum of base compensation, pension allowances, pension scheme costs and other compensation. Variable remuneration is determined as the sum of realized annual incentive and performance shares.

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

Internal pay ratios are a relevant input factor for determining the appropriateness of the implementation of the Remuneration Policy, as recognized in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. For the 2021 financial year, the ratio between the annual total compensation for the CEO and the average annual total compensation for an employee was 63:1. The ratio decreased from 67:1 in 2020. Further details on the development of these amounts and ratios over time can be found in the following table. The average employee remuneration costs and company financial performance have been adjusted retroactively such that the Domestic Appliances business is excluded from the figures. Please note that the amounts presented in the following table reflect total remuneration costs to the company which differ from the actual payout to the members of the Board of Management.

1)Based on total CEO compensation costs (EUR 5,452,299) as reported in section Total remuneration costs in 2021 2)Based on Employee benefit expenses (EUR 6.2 billion) divided by the average number of employees (71,912 FTE) as reported in Income from operations. This results in an average annual total compensation cost of EUR 86,853 per employee.3)A consideration when interpreting the ratios between CEO and average employee remuneration is that the remuneration of the CEO is more heavily dependent on variable compensation than the remuneration of the average employee at Philips. Furthermore, the costs of performance shares are based on accounting standards (IFRS) and the specific allocation of these costs to the year. As such, the total remuneration level and costs applicable to the CEO will vary more with Philips’ financial performance than the remuneration level and costs applicable to the average employee. As a consequence, the ratio will increase when financial performance is strong and conversely decrease when financial performance is not as strong. 4)Annual TSR was calculated in line with the method as used for the LTI plan (i.e. based on reinvested dividends and 3 month averaging)5)Non-IFRS financial measure.

#### Remuneration of the Supervisory Board in 2021

##### Summary of the Remuneration Policy

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

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

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

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the 2020 Remuneration Policy provides that the remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board is not dependent on the results of the company and does not include any shares (or rights to shares). Nevertheless, members of the Supervisory Board are encouraged to hold shares in the company for the purpose of long-term investment to reflect their confidence in the future course of the company. The company does not grant personal loans to members of the Supervisory Board.

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

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

## 12.2Board of Management and Executive Committee

### Introduction

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

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

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

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

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

### Appointment and composition

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

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

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

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

## 12.3Supervisory Board

### Introduction

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

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

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

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

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

### Appointment and composition

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

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

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

A (re-)appointment schedule for the Supervisory Board is published on the company’s website.

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

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

Effective 2022, Dutch law provides a mandatory gender quota, requiring that least one-third of the Supervisory Board members are women and at least one-third men (for calculation purposes, a total number of board members that cannot be divided by three, must be rounded up to the next number that can be divided by three). The quota is applicable to (i) the appointment of new Supervisory Board members, and (ii) the re-appointment of acting board members after eight years following their initial appointment. Except in certain exceptional circumstances, any appointment or re-appointment resulting in a Supervisory Board composition which does not meet (or no longer meets) the quota, will be invalid (null and void).

### Supervisory Board committees

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

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

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for preparing decisions of the Supervisory Board on the remuneration of individual members of the Board of Management and the Executive Committee. The Committee prepares an annual remuneration report, which is included in the Annual Report. In performing its duties and responsibilities, the Remuneration Committee is assisted by an external consultant and an in-house remuneration expert.

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

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

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

## 12.4Other Board-related matters

### Remuneration and share ownership

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

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

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

Pursuant to Dutch law, the Supervisory Board is authorized to reduce or eliminate unpaid bonuses awarded to members of the Board of Management if payment or delivery of the bonus would be unacceptable according to the principles of reasonableness and fairness. The company, which in this respect may also be represented by the Supervisory Board or a special representative appointed for this purpose by the General Meeting of Shareholders, may also request return of bonuses already paid or delivered insofar as these have been granted on the basis of incorrect information on the fulfillment of the relevant performance criteria or other conditions. Bonuses are broadly defined as ‘non-fixed’ (variable) remuneration – either in cash or in the form of share-based compensation – that is conditional in whole or in part on the achievement of certain targets or the occurrence of certain circumstances. The explanatory notes to the balance sheet shall report on any moderation and/or claim for repayment of Board of Management remuneration. No such reduction of unpaid bonuses or requests for repayment occurred during the financial year 2021.

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company does not grant personal loans to and guarantees on behalf of members of the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board. No such loans were granted and no such guarantees were issued in 2021, nor were any loans or guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

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

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

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

### Indemnification

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

### Diversity

Candidates for appointment to the Supervisory Board, the Board of Management and the Executive Committee are selected taking into account the company’s Diversity Policy, which is published on the company’s website. Effective 2022, Dutch law provides that (re-)appointments of members of the Supervisory Board must be in accordance with a mandatory gender quota, requiring that at least one-third of the supervisory board members are women (and at least one-third are men). There are certain exceptions where the gender quota does not apply, such as the re-appointments within eight years of the initial appointment and (re-)appointments made in exceptional circumstances.

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

### Conflicts of interest

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

In compliance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the company’s corporate governance includes rules to specify situations in which a potential or actual conflict may exist, procedures to avoid such conflicts of interest as much as possible, and to deal with such conflicts should they arise. Relevant matters relating to conflicts of interest, if any, must be mentioned in the Annual Report (specifically the management report) for the financial year in question. No decisions to enter into material transactions in which there are conflicts of interest with members of the Board of Management or the Supervisory Board were taken during the financial year 2021.

### Outside directorships

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

Dutch law provides for certain limitations on the number of Non-Executive Directorships a member of the Board of Management or Supervisory Board may hold. No member of the Board of Management shall hold more than two Non-Executive Directorships at ‘large’ companies (naamloze vennootschappen or besloten vennootschappen) or ‘large’ foundations (stichtingen), as defined under Dutch law, and no member of the Board of Management shall hold the position of chairman of another one-tier board or the position of chairman of another supervisory board. No member of the Supervisory Board shall hold more than five Non-Executive Directorships at such companies or foundations, with a position as chairman counting for two. During the financial year 2021 all members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board complied with the limitations described above in this paragraph.

## 12.5General Meeting of Shareholders

### Meetings

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

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

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

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

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

### Main powers of the General Meeting of Shareholders

The main powers of the General Meeting of Shareholders are:

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

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

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

The authorized share capital of the company amounts to EUR 800 million, divided into 2 billion common shares with a nominal value of 20 eurocents each and 2 billion preference shares also with a nominal value of 20 eurocents each. On December 31, 2021, the issued share capital amounted to EUR 176,779,793.80 divided into 883,898,696 common shares and no preference shares. All shares are fully paid-up. There are currently no limitations, either under Dutch law or the Articles of Association, to the transfer of the common shares.

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

As per December 31, 2021, approximately 91% of the common shares were held through the system of Euroclear Nederland (Euroclear shares) and approximately 9% of the common shares were represented by New York Registry Shares issued in the name of approximately 866 holders of record, including Cede & Co. Cede & Co which acts as nominee for The Depository Trust Company holding the shares (indirectly) for individual investors as beneficiaries. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is Philips’ New York transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent. Since certain shares are held by brokers and other nominees, these numbers may not be representative of the actual number of United States beneficial holders or the number of New York Registry Shares beneficially held by US residents.

At the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, it was resolved to authorize the Board of Management, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to issue shares or to grant rights to acquire shares in the company as well as to restrict or exclude the pre-emption right accruing to shareholders up to and including November 5, 2022. This authorization is limited to a maximum of 10% of the number of shares issued as of May 6, 2021.

In addition, at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, it was resolved to authorize the Board of Management, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to acquire shares in the company within the limits of the Articles of Association and within a certain price range up to and including November 5, 2022. The maximum number of shares the company may hold will not exceed 10% of the issued share capital as of May 6, 2021. The number of shares may be increased by 10% of the issued capital as of that same date in connection with the execution of share repurchase programs for capital reduction programs.

## 12.6Annual financial statements and external audit

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

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

Dutch law requires the separation of audit and non-audit services. The external auditor may only provide audit and audit-related services and is prohibited to provide any other services. This is reflected in the Auditor Policy, which is published on the company’s website. The policy is also in line with (and in some ways stricter than) applicable US rules, under which the appointed external auditor must be independent from the company both in fact and appearance.

The Auditor Policy specifies certain audit services and audit-related services (also known as assurance services) that will or may be provided by the external auditor, and includes rules for the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of such services. Audit services must be pre-approved on the basis of the annual audit services engagement agreed with the External Auditor. Proposed audit-related services may be pre-approved at the beginning of the year by the Audit Committee (annual pre-approval) or may be pre-approved during the year by the Audit Committee in respect of a particular engagement (specific pre-approval). The annual pre-approval is based on a detailed, itemized list of services to be provided, which is designed to ensure that there is no management discretion in determining whether a service has been approved, and to ensure that the Audit Committee is informed of each of the services it is pre-approving. Unless pre-approval with respect to a specific service has been given at the beginning of the year, each proposed service requires specific pre-approval during the year. Any annually pre-approved services where the fee for the engagement is expected to exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. The term of any annual pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval unless the Audit Committee states otherwise. During 2021, there were no services provided to the Company by the external auditor which were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

## 12.7Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips

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

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

The mere notification that the Foundation exercises its right to acquire preference shares will result in such shares being effectively issued. The Foundation may exercise this right for as many preference shares as there are common shares in the company outstanding at that time. No preference shares have been issued as of December 31, 2021.

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

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

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

## 12.8Major shareholders

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

The AFM register shows the following notifications of substantial holdings and/or voting rights at or above the 3% threshold: BlackRock, Inc.: substantial holding of 5.19% and 6.31% of the voting rights (December 27, 2021); T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.: substantial holding of 3.04% and 3.02% of the voting rights (January 19, 2022); UBS Group AG: substantial holding of 3.64% and 3.64% of the voting rights (February 9, 2022). The AFM register also shows a notification by Philips of a substantial holding of 4.08% in its own share capital and no voting rights (December 28, 2021).

#### Voting rights

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

#### Dividends

#### Preemptive rights

Shareholders have a pro rata preferential right of subscription to any common share issuance unless the right is restricted or excluded. If designated by the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Management has the power to restrict or exclude the preferential subscription rights. A designation of the Board of Management will be effective for a specified period of up to five years and may be renewed. Currently, the Board of Management has been granted the power to restrict or exclude the preferential right of subscription up to and including November 5, 2022. If the Board of Management has not been designated, the General Meeting of Shareholders has the power to restrict or exclude such rights, upon the proposal of the Board of Management, which proposal must be approved by the Supervisory Board. Resolutions by the General Meeting of Shareholders referred to in this paragraph require approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting.

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

#### General Meeting of Shareholders

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

In principle, all shareholders are entitled to attend a General Meeting of Shareholders, to address the meeting and to vote, except for shares held in treasury by the company. They may exercise the aforementioned rights at a meeting only for the common shares which on the record date are registered in their name. The record date is published in the above announcement and is, pursuant to Dutch law, set as the 28th day prior to the day of the relevant meeting. Holders of registered shares must advise the company in writing of their intention to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders.

They must submit a confirmation by a participating institution, in which administration they are registered as holders of the shares, that such shares are registered and will remain registered in its administration up to and including the record date, whereupon the holder will receive an admission ticket for the General Meeting of Shareholders. Holders of shares who wish to attend by proxy have to submit the proxy at the same time. A participating institution is a bank or broker which, according to the Dutch Securities Depository Act (Wet giraal effectenverkeer), is an intermediary (intermediair) of the Dutch Central Securities Depository (Euroclear Nederland).

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

Subject to certain exceptions provided by Dutch law and/or the Articles of Association, resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders are passed by an absolute majority of votes cast and do not require a quorum.

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

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

#### Exchange controls

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

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

### Significant differences in corporate governance practices

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

#### Dutch corporate governance code

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

#### Board structure

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

#### Independence of members of our Supervisory Board

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

#### Committees of our Supervisory Board

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

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

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

#### Equity compensation plans

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

#### Code of business conduct

The listing standards of the NYSE prescribe certain parameters for listed company codes of business conduct and ethics. The company has implemented the Philips General Business Principles, which are applicable to all employees, and a Financial Code of Ethics, which is applicable to all employees performing an accounting or financial function. Waivers granted to Senior (Financial) Officers (as defined in our Financial Code of Ethics) must be disclosed. In 2021 the company did not grant any waivers of the Financial Code of Ethics.

#### Related party transactions

The NYSE listing standards require certain transactions with related parties to be reviewed by a company’s audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors for potential conflicts of interest, and for the audit committee or other independent body to prohibit such a transaction if it determines it to be inconsistent with the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, foreign private issuers can rely on home country practice with respect to review and approval of related party transactions. Philips has internal procedures in place to confirm that related party transactions are entered into are at arm’s length and, if and to the extent required under Dutch law, to enable the Supervisory Board to assess the terms of significant related party transactions.

### New York Registry Shares

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

All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective 2021 have been endorsed by the EU, consequently, the accounting policies applied by Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips) also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation (for more information, please refer to Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale).

## 13.1Management’s report on internal control

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

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

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

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

Based on the Board of Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Royal Philips' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, it has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, Royal Philips' internal control over Group financial reporting is considered effective.

The effectiveness of the Royal Philips' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, as included in this section Group financial statements, has been audited by Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which follows hereafter.

### 13.1.1Disclosure controls and procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report. 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, 2021.

### 13.1.2Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## 13.2Report of the independent auditor

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is set out on Management’s report on internal control. The report set out on Independent auditor’s report on internal control over financial reporting, is provided in compliance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the US and includes an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2021, based on COSO criteria.

Ernst & Young Accountants LLP (PCAOB ID: 1396) has also issued a report on the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the US, which is set out on Independent auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements.

## 13.3Independent auditor’s report on internal control over financial reporting

### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

#### Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Koninklijke Philips N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated February 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

#### Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

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

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Koninklijke Philips N.V. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the group financial statements).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

#### Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the group financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Measurement and disclosure of the Field Action provision related to Sleep & Respiratory Care products
Description of the Matter | As more fully described in Note 20 Provisions, following the identification of potential health risks related to certain Sleep & Respiratory Care products, the Company recorded a Field Action provision amounting to EUR 719 million. Determining the Field Action provision is complex and requires significant judgment by management. Significant assumptions made relate to the estimated total quantity of devices and the replacement share.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls relating to the Field Action provision calculation. This included testing controls relating to management’s review of the provision, including the determination of significant assumptions. Further, we tested the controls over the mathematical accuracy and completeness of the provision. Our audit procedures included, among others, the assessment of the significant assumptions and data used by management in its calculation model for the Field Action provision. For example, we assessed the estimated quantities through obtaining third party confirmations for quantities already registered for remediation as of December 31, 2021, as well as corroborating the remaining quantity estimate by reperforming the trend analysis of registrations over time. We considered audit evidence to corroborate the reasonability of the replacement share based on the contracted repair capacity as well as the upgraded inhouse production capacity. We also performed an analysis of the significant assumptions to evaluate the sensitivity of the provision. In addition, we inspected the communication with regulatory authorities regarding the identified quality issues and held discussions with management on the recall process, capacity considerations as well as the ongoing cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration. We further assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 20 Provisions, as included in the group financial statements.

Measurement of provisions and disclosures for legal claims, litigations and contingent liabilities
Description of the Matter | The Company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings, as well as being investigated by governmental authorities for alleged non-compliance with laws and regulations. As more fully described in Note 25 Contingent assets and liabilities this includes the discussions with and information provided to the SEC and DOJ regarding alleged tender irregularities in China, Bulgaria and Brazil, and legal claims and litigation related to the Field Action for Sleep & Respiratory Care products. The Company records provisions for legal claims and litigation when it has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be estimated reliably. When an outflow of economic benefits cannot be reliably estimated or is possible but not probable, the Company discloses this in the contingent liabilities note. We evaluated the accounting of provisions for legal claims and litigation, and the disclosure for provisions and contingent liabilities, which is complex and judgmental due to the difficulty in predicting the outcome of the matters and estimating the potential impact if the outcomes are unfavorable and the amounts involved are, or can be, material to the financial statements as a whole. Further reference is made to Note 1 Significant accounting policies, Note 20 Provisions, and Note 25 Contingent assets and liabilities, as included in the group financial statements.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding, evaluating the design and testing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls around the identification and evaluation of legal claims, litigation and investigations at different levels in the group, and the recording and continuous re-assessment of the related provisions, contingent liabilities and disclosures. To confirm our understanding of the allegations and test the Company’s accounting of provisions for legal claims and litigation and the disclosure for provisions and contingent liabilities, we discussed the allegations with both internal and external legal counsel, as well as with the Company’s finance department, inspected relevant correspondence with authorities, inspected the minutes of the meetings of the Audit Committee, Supervisory Board and Executive Committee, requested a confirmation letter from the Company’s in-house legal counsel and obtained external legal confirmation letters from external legal counsel involved in these matters. For claims settled during the year, we vouched the cash payments, as appropriate, and read the related settlement agreements. Specifically related to ongoing investigations into alleged non-compliance with laws and regulations, we were supported by EY forensic and other specialists. We also assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure for provisions for legal claims and litigation, and contingent liabilities, as included in the group financial statements.

Valuation of Goodwill for Cash Generating Unit Sleep & Respiratory Care
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2021, the total carrying value of goodwill amounted to EUR 10,637 million (of which EUR 1.915 million is allocated to Cash Generating Unit (CGU) Sleep & Respiratory Care (S&RC) amounted to EUR 2,031 million. Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for which management is required to test the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if there is a triggering event for testing. Further reference is made to Note 1 Significant accounting policies, and Note 12 Goodwill, as included in the group financial statements. Auditing the calculation of the recoverable amount for the CGU S&RC is complex, given the significant judgment and estimation related to assumptions and data in the model used to determine whether the carrying value of goodwill is appropriate. The most significant assumptions used within the model to support the recoverable amount of goodwill are sales growth rate, EBITA, and discount rates.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment review process related to the CGU S&RC. This includes controls over management’s review and approval of the significant assumptions, controls over the mathematical accuracy of the calculation and the appropriateness of the valuation models used. For example, we tested controls over management’s determination and review of the sales growth, EBITA and the discount rate assumptions. As part of our audit we assessed and tested the assumptions and data used by management in its valuation model for the CGU S&RC. As part of these procedures we reconciled the expected restart of sales for the Sleep products with audit evidence obtained as part of the audit of the Field Action provision, and we compared the assumptions to external data such as industrial sales growth rates and discount rates. We were assisted in our evaluation of the discount rate by EY valuation specialists. Additionally, we compared the cash flow projections used in the valuation of the recoverable amount to 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 gained an understanding of the developments of the performance and corroborated if they are in line with forecasted figures. We also performed an analysis of the significant assumptions to evaluate the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to changes in the assumptions. We also assessed the adequacy of management’s disclosure around goodwill as included in the group financial statements.

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

## 13.10Notes

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

### 1Significant accounting policies

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

All standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective 2021 have been endorsed by the EU; consequently, the accounting policies applied by Philips also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting policies have been applied by group entities.

The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

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

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

#### Use of estimates

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

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

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

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

#### Climate-related matters

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements management has considered the impact of climate change, specifically the financial impact of Philips meeting its internal and external climate related aims, the potential impact of climate related risks and the costs incurred to pro-actively manage such risks. These considerations did not have a material impact on the financial reporting judgements, estimates or assumptions. The specific financial impacts considered include, for example: specific climate mitigation measures, such as the use of lower carbon energy sources, the costs of developing more sustainable product offerings and expenses incurred to mitigate against the impact of extreme weather conditions.

#### Changes in presentation from the prior year

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

##### Domestic Appliances

Prior-period financial statements have been restated for the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation, see further information in Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale and Acquisitions and divestments.

#### Specific choices within IFRS

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

##### Tangible and intangible fixed assets

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

##### Employee benefit accounting

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

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

##### Cash flow statements

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

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

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

#### Policies that are more critical in nature

##### Revenue recognition

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

##### Income taxes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

##### Provisions

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

- Field action provision –This provision relates to the Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices
- Product warranty – The provisions for assurance-type product warranty reflect the estimated costs of replacement and free-of-charge services that will be incurred by the company with respect to products sold, and include costs to execute field change orders. The field action provision in connection with the Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification is shown separately above.
- Environmental provisions – The environmental provisions relate to cost of environmental remediation in various countries. Measurement of liabilities associated with environmental obligations is based on current legal and constructive requirements. Liabilities and expected insurance recoveries, if any, are recorded separately. The carrying amount of environmental liabilities is regularly reviewed and adjusted for new facts and changes in law.
- Restructuring-related provisions – The provision for restructuring mainly relates to the estimated costs of initiated restructurings, the most significant of which have been approved by the Executive Committee, and which generally involve the realignment of certain parts of the industrial and commercial organization. When such restructurings require discontinuance and/or closure of lines of activities, the anticipated costs of closure or discontinuance are included in restructuring provisions. A liability is recognized for those costs only when the company has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation with those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. Before a provision is established, the company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with the restructuring.
- Legal provisions – Legal provisions relate to legal proceedings, including regulatory and other governmental proceedings. In relation to legal claim provisions and settlements, the relevant balances are transferred to Other liabilities at the point when the amount and timing of cash outflows are no longer uncertain. Settlements which are agreed for amounts in excess of existing provisions are reflected as increases in Other liabilities.

Further information on provisions can be found in Provisions.

##### Goodwill

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

##### Intangible assets other than goodwill

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

##### Impairment

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

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

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

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

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

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

###### Impairment of financial assets

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

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

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

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

#### Other policies

##### Basis of consolidation

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

###### Loss of control

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

###### Business combinations

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

The company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

###### Investments in associates (equity-accounted investees)

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

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

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

##### Foreign currencies

###### Foreign currency transactions

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

Foreign currency differences arising from translations are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income, except for equity investments measured at fair value through OCI which are recognized in Other comprehensive income. If there is an impairment which results in foreign currency differences being recognized, these differences are reclassified from Other comprehensive income to the Consolidated statements of income.

All foreign exchange differences are presented as part of Cost of sales, with the exception of tax items and financial income and expense, which are recognized in the same line item as they relate to in the Consolidated statements of income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date.

###### Foreign operations

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

Foreign currency differences arising upon translation of foreign operations into euros are recognized in Other comprehensive income, and presented as part of Currency translation differences in Equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to Non-controlling interests.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the Currency translation differences related to the foreign operation is reclassified to the Consolidated statements of income as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the respective proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to Non-controlling interests. When the company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to the Consolidated statements of income.

##### Financial instruments

###### Non-derivative financial assets

###### Recognition and initial measurement

Non-derivative financial assets are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases and sales of financial assets in the normal course of business are accounted for at the trade date. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Gains or losses, if any, are recorded in Financial income and expense. Non-derivative financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in the Consolidated statements of income.

###### Classification and subsequent measurement

The company classifies its non-derivative financial assets in the following measurement categories:

- those that are measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI (FVTOCI) or profit or loss (FVTPL);
- those that are measured at amortized cost.

In assessing the classification, the company considers the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in either the Consolidated statements of income or in Other comprehensive income (OCI). For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVTOCI. For investments in these equity instruments, the company does not subsequently reclassify between FVTOCI and FVTPL. For debt investments, assets are reclassified between FVTOCI, FVTPL and amortized cost only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Non-derivative financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets.

###### Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances, certain money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Further information on cash and cash equivalents can be found in Cash flow statement supplementary information.

###### Receivables

Receivable balances that are held to collect are subsequently measured at amortized cost and are subject to impairment as explained in the impairment section of this note. Receivables that are held to collect and sell are subsequently measured at FVTOCI and are also subject to impairment. The company derecognizes receivables on entering into factoring transactions if the company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards or if the company does not retain control over those receivables. Further information on receivables can be found in Receivables.

###### Other (non-)current financial assets

Other (non-)current financial assets include both debt instruments and equity instruments.

Debt instruments include those subsequently carried at amortized cost, those carried at FVTPL and those carried at FVTOCI. Classification depends on the company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost and are subject to impairment. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Financial income using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVTOCI and are subject to impairment. Movements in the carrying amounts are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to the Consolidated statements of income. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Financial income using the effective interest rate method.

Debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in the Consolidated statements of income in the period in which it arises.

Equity investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Equity instruments that are held for trading are measured at FVTPL. For equity instruments that are not held for trading, the company makes an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition whether to account for the equity investment at FVTPL or FVTOCI. Where management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the Consolidated statements of income following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in the Consolidated statements of income when the company’s right to receive payments is established.

Further information on other (non-)current financial assets can be found in Other financial assets

###### Debt and other financial liabilities

Debt and other financial liabilities, excluding derivative financial liabilities and provisions, are initially measured at fair value and, in the case of debt and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Debt and other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

Debt and other financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Further information on debt and other financial liabilities can be found in Debt.

###### Equity

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

Call options on own shares are treated as equity instruments.

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

Further information on equity can be found in Equity.

###### Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The company uses derivative financial instruments principally to manage its foreign currency risks and, to a more limited extent, interest rate and commodity price risks. All derivative financial instruments are accounted for at the trade date and classified as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the maturity date or the early termination date. The company measures all derivative financial instruments at fair value that is derived from the market prices of the instruments, calculated on the basis of the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread, credit spreads and foreign exchange rates, or derived from option pricing models, as appropriate. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income, except for derivatives that are highly effective and qualify for cash flow or net investment hedge accounting.

Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts attributable to forward points and changes in the time value of the option contracts are deferred in the cash flow hedges reserve within equity. The deferred amounts are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income against the related hedged transaction when it occurs.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in OCI until the Consolidated statements of income are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

The company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is established that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is expected that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the company continues to carry the derivative on the Consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in OCI are recognized immediately in the same line item as they relate to in the Consolidated statements of income.

Foreign currency differences arising upon retranslation of financial instruments designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly in the currency translation differences reserve through OCI, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

###### Offsetting and master netting agreements

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

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

##### Property, plant and equipment

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

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

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

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

##### Leases

The company determines whether an arrangement constitutes or contains a lease at inception, which is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement constitutes or contains a lease if fulfillment is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that asset is not explicitly specified in the arrangement.

###### Company as a lessee

Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the company. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable;
- variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
- amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date is used, which is based on an assessment of interest rates the company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the Consolidated statements of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
- any initial direct costs;
- restoration costs.

The right-of-use assets are subsequently accounted for using principles for property, plant and equipment. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated statements of income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture considered to be of low value (i.e. less than EUR 5,000).

The company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal.

The company leases various items of real estate, vehicles and other equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension or termination options.

The related year end disclosures pertaining to leases as lessee have been disclosed in respective notes according to the nature of the reported item. Below are the references with respect to IFRS 16 year-end disclosures as lessee:

- For disclosure on Right-of-use assets and related movement, refer to Property, plant and equipment;
- Short-term and low-value leases, are disclosed in Income from operations;
- Disclosures regarding interest expenses on lease liabilities, are disclosed in Financial income and expenses;
- For disclosure on leasing related cash outflow and the split between interest and principal payments, refer to the Consolidated statements of cash flows and Cash flow statement supplementary information;
- For disclosure on sale and leaseback transactions, refer to Details of treasury and other financial risks;
- For disclosure on lease liabilities and maturity analysis, refer to Debt;
- Other qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the nature of lessee’s leasing activities and future lease obligations, refer to Details of treasury and other financial risks;

###### Company as a lessor

When the company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. Leases in which the company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. The company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease terms in the Statement of income.

The related year end disclosures pertaining to leases as lessor have been disclosed in respective notes according to the nature of the reported item. Below are the references with respect to IFRS 16 year-end disclosures as lessor:

- For disclosures on lease income and sublease income, refer to Income from operations;
- Other qualitative disclosures regarding the nature of lessor’s leasing activities and risk management, refer to Details of treasury and other financial risks.

##### Inventories

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

Further information on inventories can be found in Inventories.

##### Employee benefit accounting

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

A defined-benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined-contribution plan. Plans for which the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts, but to which it does pay non-fixed contributions, are also treated as a defined-benefit plan. The net pension asset or liability recognized in the Consolidated balance sheets in respect of defined-benefit post-employment plans is the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the projected defined-benefit obligation at the Consolidated balance sheets date. The defined-benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Recognized assets are limited to the present value of any reductions in future contributions or any future refunds. The net pension liability is presented as a long-term provision; no distinction is made for the short-term portion.

For the company’s major plans, a full discount rate curve of high-quality corporate bonds is used to determine the defined benefit obligation, where available. The curves are based on the Mercer Yield Curve methodology, which uses data of corporate bonds rated AA or equivalent. For the other plans the Mercer Yield Curve/Mercer Methodology has also been used taking into account the cash flows as much as possible in case there is a deep market in corporate bonds. For plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market, the discount rate is based on government bonds and the plan’s maturity.

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

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

The company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined-benefit plan when the settlement occurs. The gain or loss on settlement is the difference between the present value of the defined-benefit obligation being settled, as determined on the date of settlement, and the settlement price, including any plan assets transferred and any payments made directly by the company in connection with the settlement. Past service costs arising from the introduction of a change to the benefit payable under a plan or a significant reduction of the number of employees covered by a plan (curtailment) are recognized in full in the Consolidated statements of income.

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

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. The company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and incentives based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company’s shareholders after certain adjustments.

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

Further information on other employee benefits can be found in Provisions in the Other provisions section.

##### Share-based payment

###### Equity-settled transactions

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

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

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant-date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant-date fair value. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met.

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

##### Financial income and expenses

Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested (including financial assets), dividend income, net gains on the disposal of financial assets, net fair value gains on financial assets at FVTPL, net gains on the remeasurement to fair value of any pre-existing interest in an acquiree, and net gains on foreign exchange impacts that are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

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

Financial expenses comprise interest expenses on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, losses on disposal of financial assets, net fair value losses on financial assets at FVTPL, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables), net interest expenses related to defined-benefit plans, interest on lease liabilities and net losses on foreign exchange impacts that are recognized in the Consolidated statements of income.

Further information on financial income and expenses can be found in Financial income and expenses.

##### Government grants

Grants from governments are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the Consolidated statements of income as a reduction of the related costs over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Grants related to assets are deducted from the cost of the asset and presented net in the Consolidated balance sheets.

##### Financial guarantees

The company recognizes a liability at the fair value of the obligation at the inception of a financial guarantee contract. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation or the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization.

##### Cash flow statements

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

##### Segment information

Operating segments are components of the company’s business activities about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Executive Committee of the company). The Executive Committee decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance. Reportable segments comprise the operating segments Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care businesses and Personal Health businesses. Additionally, besides these reportable segments, segment Other exists. Segment accounting policies are the same as the accounting policies applied by the company.

##### Earnings per Share

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

Further information on earnings per share can be found in Earnings per share.

#### New standards and interpretations

##### IFRS accounting standards adopted as from 2021

The company applies, for the first time, certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

###### 2020-8 Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients:

- A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest
- Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued
- Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component

These amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company. The status of the IBOR transition project and the exposure to IBOR have been disclosed in Details of treasury and other financial risks.

###### 2021-3 Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases – Covid-19 related rent concessions beyond June 30, 2021

On May 28, 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16 Leases The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the Covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. The amendment was intended to apply until June 30, 2021, but as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing, on March 31, 2021, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to June 30, 2022.The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. This amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company.

##### IFRS accounting standards to be adopted from 2022 onwards

A number of amendments to existing standards have been issued and are mandatory for the company beginning on or after January 1, 2022, or later periods, and the company has not early-adopted them. The changes to those standards are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

### 2COVID-19

In 2021 the pandemic continued to affect the global economy and there remains uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of COVID-19, including global supply chain challenges. Where relevant, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting uncertainties on the company’s results, balance sheet and cash flows have been considered and are reflected in amounts reported.

The impact of the pandemic on significant accounting matters is disclosed below. Other areas have also been affected, but did not have a significant impact and are therefore not separately disclosed. COVID-19 did not result in any other material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities during the year-ended December 31, 2021, other than the impacts on the EPD business as disclosed in Intangible assets excluding goodwill and Provisions.

#### Estimates and uncertainties

As a result of the uncertainties associated with the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in line with existing accounting policies, the company regularly updates its significant assumptions and estimates to support the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. In relation to areas of judgment and estimates as disclosed in our Significant accounting policies, those which are primarily impacted by COVID-19 include impairment testing, valuation of inventories, measurement of financial instruments and the determination of fair values (for example fair values of acquired identifiable intangible assets, contingent considerations and certain investments). These significant judgments and estimates are further discussed below.

#### Impairment testing

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets not ready for use

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and whenever impairment indicators require such testing. In addition, for all goodwill and intangible assets not yet ready for use an annual impairment test was performed during 2021. In determining the recoverable amounts, consideration was given to the uncertainties embedded in the discounted cash flow projections and the appropriateness of key assumptions used in light of the pandemic, which included increased uncertainties around forecasted revenues, costs and other factors. Further details on these impairment procedures and the results thereof are disclosed in Goodwill and Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

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

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. Where such an instance was identified, the impact of the pandemic and resulting uncertainties have been taken into account when assessing the recoverable amount. Further details on the results of these impairment procedures are disclosed in Intangible assets excluding goodwill.

Impairment testing of financial assets

The company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, contract assets, lease receivables and debt investments carried at fair value through Other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and amortized cost. In line with the accounting policy disclosed in the Significant accounting policies, for all financial assets to which the company applies the simplified approach, updated assessments on the lifetime ECL allowance are made regularly, taking into the account uncertainties resulting from the pandemic. In addition, for those assets to which the company does not apply the simplified approach to measuring ECLs, assessments were made regularly to assess whether a significant increase in credit risk was observed as a result of COVID-19. In those instances, the allowance was updated to also reflect lifetime ECLs.

In making these assessments, all reasonable and supportable information was considered. Examples of indicators identified included counterparties breaching their agreed payment terms and counterparties requesting extended payment terms or (partial) waivers. In addition, forward looking elements were taken into consideration such as a deterioration of the credit rating of a counterparty or changes in risks associated with specific countries or regions due to COVID-19. Albeit the methodology applied is consistent with prior periods, certain of these factors triggered by the pandemic required updated assessments of the ECLs. Relevant financial assets were individually assessed and additional ECL allowances were accounted for in those cases where deemed necessary. The overall impact of the increase in the level of ECLs did not have a material impact on the company’s financial assets. The company further concluded that none of the agreed changes with counterparties resulted in a substantial modification of such instruments under IFRS 9 Financial instruments.

#### Fair values

Certain of the company’s financial instruments and other assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. The fair values included in these Consolidated financial statements reflect market participant views and market data at the measurement date under current market conditions. This implies that due to the increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets due to the pandemic, these fair values are subject to significant estimates, in particular for assets and liabilities for which the fair value is based on unobservable inputs (sometimes referred to as Level 3 measurements). Expectations around future cash flows, discount rates and other significant valuation inputs related to the asset or liability as of December 31, 2021 have become subject to a greater level of uncertainty. The fair values determined taking into account these revised input parameters have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. Other than the impacts on the EPD business as disclosed in Intangible assets excluding goodwill, starting on page 186 and Provisions, there was no significant impact as a result of the pandemic on any individual assets or liabilities carried at fair value. For further information, refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Employee benefit accounting

COVID-19 also had an impact on the company’s long-term employee benefits, including defined-benefit plans. Volatility in the financial markets following the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in increased judgment being required in setting key parameters used in determining these benefits, including discount rates, mortality rates, retention rates and other assumptions supporting the actuarial calculations. In those situations, we established the most appropriate parameters with the help of actuaries and taking into consideration relevant economic conditions. For our funded defined-benefit plans, increased fluctuations in the fair values of the plan assets during the financial year ended December 31, 2021 also caused further volatility in the net obligation. Neither of these impacts were significant for the balances as of December 31, 2021.

#### Provisions other than employee benefits

As described in the Significant accounting policies, the accounting for provisions requires significant judgment around the amount and timing of the outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligation. As a result of the pandemic, volatility increased in our supplier commitments and customer demand for many of our businesses, requiring the company to assess its related contracts for onerous elements. In doing so, the company applied assumptions and estimates in relation to future demand forecasts, expected costs of termination and the likely outcomes of ongoing negotiations with suppliers. No other provisions were materially impacted by COVID-19.

#### Inventories

The company’s inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In determining the appropriate level of provision for obsolescence, changes in the aging of inventory items in certain businesses and markets due to COVID-19 were considered throughout the year. In addition, current and potential excess stock levels were analyzed, incorporating the impact COVID-19 had on demand in 2021 as well as revised expectations of future demand for these items. No material change in the provision for obsolescence was identified as a result of these procedures.

#### Taxes

In response to COVID-19, many governments have changed tax regulations aimed at deferring tax filings and payments, providing tax relief and offering financial assistance. Apart from applied payment deferrals on social contribution payments, the company has no material payment deferrals. In determining the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the company took into account the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in its projections on the results of future operations that will generate taxable income, which did not result in a significant impact.

#### Treasury and other financial risks

In terms of liquidity the company has a solid liquidity position and the company’s liquidity risk management procedures have not changed significantly during 2021 because of COVID-19. No significant concentration risks have been identified as a result of COVID-19 and the company continues to have access to its existing lines of credit. These lines of credits, along with other financial risks to which Philips is exposed, are disclosed in Details of treasury and other financial risks, starting on page 219. In 2021, COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on other financial risks, including how we manage those.

For the definition and reconciliation of the most directly comparable IFRS measure, refer to Reconciliation of non-IFRS information.3)For reconciliation Adjusted EBITA, refer to the following table.4)In 2019 Philips’ Emerging Businesses were moved out of segment Other into segment Diagnosis & Treatment to enable these businesses with better access to downstream capabilities. While these businesses remain in (semi-)incubator phase, in 2021 they received a corporate funding out of segment Other of EUR 16 million (2020: EUR 38 million, 2019: EUR 54 million) to support them during their emerging idea-to-market business phase.

As required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments, Philips operating segments are Diagnosis & Treatment businesses, Connected Care businesses and Personal Health businesses, each being responsible for the management of its business worldwide. As of the first quarter of 2021 the Domestic Appliances business is presented as discontinued operation and therefore no longer part of the Operating Segment Personal Health. The comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation.

Philips focuses on improving people’s lives through meaningful innovation across the health continuum – from healthy living and prevention to diagnosis, treatment and home care. The Diagnosis & Treatment unites the businesses related to the promise of precision diagnosis and disease pathway selection, and the businesses related to image-guided, minimally invasive treatments. The Connected Care businesses focuses on patient care solutions, advanced analytics and patient and workflow optimization inside and outside the hospital, and aims to unlock synergies from integrating and optimizing patient care pathways, and leveraging provider-payer-patient business models. The Personal Health businesses focuses on healthy living and preventative care.

The Executive Committee of Philips is deemed to be the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for IFRS 8 segment reporting purposes. The key segmental performance measure is Adjusted EBITA*), which Management believes is the most relevant measure to evaluate the results of the segments.

The term Adjusted EBITA*) is used to evaluate the performance of Philips and its segments. EBITA*) represents Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITA*) represents EBITA *)excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.

Adjusted EBITA*) is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. Presented in the following table is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITA*) to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, for the years indicated. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

### 4Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale

In 2021, 2020 and 2019 Discontinued operations consist primarily of the Domestic Appliances business. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, reported in the consolidated statements of income.

##### Discontinued operations: Domestic Appliances

On March 25, 2021, Philips signed an agreement to sell its Domestic Appliances business to global investment firm Hillhouse Investment. Since the first quarter of 2021, the Domestic Appliances business is presented as a discontinued operation, and comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation, because the sale of the Domestic Appliances business constitutes the discontinuance of a major line of business from the Personal Health segment.

The following table summarizes the results of Domestic Appliances included in the Consolidated statements of income as a discontinued operation.

1)The income tax expense from discontinued operations is calculated based on the separate return method, as if Domestic Appliances was filing its own separate tax returns.

Costs of EUR 64 million incurred in relation to the separation of the Domestic Appliances business in 2021 have been accounted for in continuing operations, because these costs reflect expenses incurred by Royal Philips in the divestment process and are not considered representative of the core business results of the Domestic Appliances business.

On September 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of the Domestic Appliances business and recognized a transaction gain before tax of EUR 3,241 million. Philips received consideration of EUR 4,041 million, which is based on an enterprise value of EUR 3,850 million, increased by an amount of EUR 191 million for closing adjustments related to working capital and net indebtedness. The transaction gain before tax is the net effect of (i) the EUR 4,041 million consideration (ii) less the derecognition of net assets employed of EUR 715 million (iii) less transaction related costs of EUR 16 million, (iv) less the release of cumulative translation losses of EUR 69 million included in Other comprehensive income. The income tax charges related to the divestment process was EUR 743 million, resulting in an after-tax transaction gain of EUR 2,499 million. The income tax charge represents the consolidated tax expense resulting from asset transactions completed as part of the disentanglement of the business in anticipation of its sale, a significant portion of which relates to taxes payable in the Netherlands. In addition, Philips and the buyer entered into a 15-year brand license agreement with future annual payments that represents an estimated net present value of approximately EUR 0.7 billion, which will be received and recognized over time.

##### Discontinued operations: Other

Certain costs related to other divestments, which were previously reported as discontinued operations, resulted in a net gain of EUR 13 million in 2021 (2020: a net loss of EUR 10 million, 2019: a net loss of EUR 19 million)

##### Discontinued operations cash flows

The opening balance sheet positions reflect the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the acquisitions. The final determination of the fair values will be completed in 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair value of the intangible assets and the valuation of goodwill are preliminary.

##### BioTelemetry

On February 9, 2021, Philips successfully completed a tender offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of BioTelemetry, Inc. for USD 72.00 per share. As a result, BioTelemetry shares were delisted from NASDAQ. The total equity purchase price and the settlement of stock option rights, including BioTelemetry’s cash and debt, involved an amount of EUR 2,132 million and EUR 172 million equity awards consideration paid to employees after the acquisition day.

BioTelemetry, headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, is a leading US-based provider of remote cardiac diagnostics and monitoring solutions. BioTelemetry offers a complete range of clinically validated ambulatory cardiac diagnostics and monitoring services: Short term Holter monitoring services, Long-term Holter monitoring services, Event recorder services, and Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) services. The acquisition of BioTelemetry is a strong fit with Philips’ cardiac care portfolio, and its strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions. BioTelemetry, forms part of the Connected Care segment.

Goodwill recognized in the amount of EUR 1,776 million mainly represents revenue synergies expected from the combination of Philips’ cardiac care portfolio and its strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions, and BioTelemetry complete range of clinically validated ambulatory cardiac diagnostics and monitoring services. BioTelemetry Goodwill is not tax-deductible.

The majority of the Intangible assets balance relates to the Customer relationships asset, the fair value of which is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participants’ expectations of the cash flows associated with that asset over its remaining useful life. The fair value of the Customer relationships asset is based on an estimate of positive future cash flows associated with incremental profits related to excess earnings, discounted at a rate of 10.0%. The amortization period of the Customer relationships asset is 14 years. Receivables and other current assets reflect the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows expected to be received.

Since the acquisition date through December 31, 2021, the contribution to sales to third parties and net income of BioTelemetry was EUR 387 million and EUR 32 million loss, respectively. The sales and net income would not differ materially from these amounts if the acquisition date had been on January 1, 2021.

In 2021, acquisition-related costs of EUR 40 million were mainly recognized in General and administrative expenses.

##### Capsule Technologies

On March 4, 2021, Philips acquired all shares of Capsule Technologies, Inc. for an amount of EUR 520 million in cash. Capsule Technologies, headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of medical device integration and data technologies for hospitals and healthcare organizations. Capsule Technologies offers a leading vendor-neutral Medical Device Information Platform with a software-as-a-service business model. The acquisition of Capsule Technologies is a strong fit with Philips’ strategy to transform the delivery of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions. Capsule Technologies, forms part of the Connected Care segment.

Goodwill recognized in the amount of EUR 325 million mainly represents revenue synergies expected from the combination of Philips’ industry-leading portfolio of real-time patient monitoring, therapeutic devices, telehealth, informatics and interoperability solutions and Capsule’s leading Medical Device Information Platform, connected through Philips’ secure vendor-neutral cloud-based HealthSuite digital platform. Capsule Technologies Goodwill is not tax-deductible.

The majority of the Intangible assets balance relates to the Customer relationships asset, the fair value of which is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participants’ expectations of the cash flows associated with that asset over its remaining useful life. The fair value of the Customer relationships asset is based on an estimate of positive future cash flows associated with incremental profits related to excess earnings, discounted at a rate of 12.0%. The amortization period of the Customer relationships asset is 17 years.

Receivables and other current assets reflect the best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows expected to be received.

Since the acquisition date through December 31, 2021, the contribution to sales to third parties and net income of Capsule was EUR 75 million and EUR 10 million loss, respectively. The sales and net income would not differ materially from these amounts if the acquisition date had been on January 1, 2021.

In 2021, acquisition-related costs of EUR 11 million were mainly recognized in General and administrative expenses.

##### Divestments

During 2021 Philips completed three divestments. On September 1, 2021, Philips sold its Domestic Appliances business to global investment firm Hillhouse Investment. For further details on this transaction, refer to note Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale.

Intact Vascular Goodwill is not tax deductible.

The provision for contingent consideration represents a Long-term provision of EUR 70 million, due in 2022 and 2023. The contingent consideration is based on a specified percentage of forecast revenue share, for which the maximum amount is unlimited. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is re-measured at each reporting period. Therefore, any changes in the fair value impacts reported earnings in each reporting period, thereby resulting in variability in earnings. For more details about the fair value measurements, refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The majority of the Intangible assets balance relates to Technology, the fair value of which is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a valuation technique that estimates the fair value of an asset based on market participants' expectations of the cash flows associated with that asset over its remaining useful life. The fair value of Technology is based on an estimate of positive future cash flows associated with incremental profits related to excess earnings, discounted at a rate of 15.0%. The amortization period of Technology is 14 years.

Philips has investments in a number of associates. During 2021, Philips purchased six investments in associates for a total amount of EUR 232 million. The most notable investment was a EUR 125 million investment in Candid Care Co. None of the investments are regarded as individually material from the point of view of the consolidated financial statements.

On reclassification, Philips recorded a gain of EUR 33 million in Other operating income. For more information about Other-non current financial assets at FVTOCI, refer to Other financial assets and Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Involvement with unconsolidated structured entities

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

The company concluded that it does not control, and therefore should not consolidate the PMC entities. In the United States, PMC operates as a subsidiary of De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. The same structure and treatment is applied to the PMC entities in the other countries, with other majority shareholders. Operating agreements are in place for all PMC entities, whereby acceptance of sales and financing transactions resides with the respective majority shareholder. After acceptance of a transaction by PMC, Philips transfers control and does not retain any obligations towards PMC or its customers, from the sales contracts.

As of December 31, 2021, Philips’ shareholding in Philips Medical Capital, LLC had a carrying value of EUR 27 million (December 31, 2020: EUR 26 million).

The company does not have any material exposures to losses from interests in unconsolidated structured entities other than the invested amounts.

The result on disposal of businesses was mainly due to divestment of non-strategic businesses. For more information refer to Acquisitions and divestments.

The result on disposal of fixed assets was mainly due to the sale of real estate assets.

The result on other remaining businesses mainly relates to revaluation of contingent consideration, non-core revenue and various legal matters.

In 2021 revisions to EPD's forecast resulted in a EUR 67 million decrease in the fair value of the respective contingent consideration liability, comprised of EUR 41 million due to more severe short-term impacts of COVID-19 and the competitive environment and EUR 26 million due to delays in achievement of certain milestones, and is reflected in Other business income. In 2020 revisions to EPD's forecast due to delays in commercialization caused by the need to do more work on the maturity of the technology resulted in a EUR 101 million decrease in the fair value of the respective contingent consideration liability and is reflected in Other business income. For information on contingent consideration, refer to Provisions.

In 2021 a gain of EUR 33 million related to a minority participation was recognized in Other business income. For information refer to Interests in entities.

For information on impairment of goodwill, refer to Goodwill.

In 2021, Financial income and expenses decreased by EUR 5 million year-on-year, mainly due to higher other financial income and decreased interest expenses, offset by lower fair value gain. Fair value gains of EUR 95 million are from investments in limited life funds (mainly Gilde Healthcare) and other investments recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Net interest expense in 2021 was EUR 19 million lower than in 2020, mainly due to lower interest expenses on borrowings and provisions, and interest expenses on pensions. The increase in other financial income is mainly due to higher interest income on tax.

In 2020, Financial income and expenses decreased by EUR 75 million year-on-year, mainly due to fair value gains of EUR 133 million from investments in limited life funds (mainly Gilde Healthcare) and other investments recognized at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value gain from investments in limited life funds is caused by IPO’s by certain of the investments held by the limited life funds. Net interest expense in 2020 was EUR 11 million lower than in 2019, mainly due to lower interest expenses on borrowings and interest expenses on pensions. Dividend income from financial assets decreased by EUR 49 million versus 2019.

### 9Income taxes

The income tax benefit of continuing operations amounted to EUR 103 million (2020: EUR 212 million tax expense, 2019: EUR 258 million tax expense).

The components of income before taxes and income tax expense are as follows:

Philips’ operations are subject to income taxes in various foreign jurisdictions. The statutory income tax rate varies per country, which results in a difference between the weighted average statutory income tax rate and the Netherlands’ statutory income tax rate of 25.0% (2020: 25.0% 2019: 25.0%).

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

Philips Group

Effective income tax rate

in %

| 2019 | 2020 | 2021
--- | --- | --- | ---
Weighted average statutory income tax rate in % | 25.3 | 25.2 | 22.7

Unrecognized tax loss and credit carryforwards | 0.1 | 0.0 | 1.9
Changes to recognition of temporary differences | 2.6 | (1.6) | 0.3
Non-taxable income and tax incentives | (11.2) | (12.9) | (40.6)
Non-deductible expenses | 6.1 | 7.0 | 19.3
Withholding and other taxes | 4.1 | 0.6 | 7.2
Tax rate changes | (0.2) | (1.0) | (1.9)
Prior year tax | 0.7 | (0.2) | (2.4)
Tax expense (benefit) due to change in uncertain tax treatments | (2.0) | 1.2 | 4.4
Others, net | 0.2 | (0.2) | (4.0)
Effective income tax rate | 20.8 | 17.6 | (20.0)

The effective income tax rate is lower than the weighted average statutory income tax rate in 2021 mainly due to benefits from the recognition of deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards and recurring favorable tax incentives related to R&D investments and export activities, partially offset with various non-deductible items. The effective income tax rate for 2021 is further impacted by the lower income before tax in 2021, as compared to 2020 and 2019, whereas Withholding and other taxes had a lower impact on the 2020 effective income tax rate, due to a one-off benefit from a decrease in tax rate. The recognition of deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards is the result from an intra-group business transfer and is presented under Recognition of previously unrecognized tax loss and credit carryforwards.

#### Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences, unused tax losses, and unused tax credits to the extent that realization of the related tax benefits is probable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the countries where the deferred tax assets originated and during the periods when the deferred tax assets become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Net deferred tax assets relate to the following underlying assets and liabilities and tax loss carryforwards (including tax credit carryforwards) and their movements during the years 2021 and 2020 respectively are presented in the following tables.

The net deferred tax assets of EUR 2,134 million (2020: EUR 1,761 million) consist of deferred tax assets of EUR 2,216 million (2020:EUR 1,820 million) and deferred tax liabilities of EUR 83 million (2020: EUR 59 million). Of the total deferred tax assets of EUR 2,216 million at December 31, 2021 (2020: EUR 1,820 million), EUR 12 million (2020: EUR 35 million) is recognized in respect of entities in various countries where there have been tax losses in the current or preceding period. Management’s projections support the assumption that it is probable that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize these deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2021 the temporary differences associated with investments, including potential income tax consequences on dividends, for which no deferred tax liabilities are recognized, aggregate to EUR 298 million (2020: EUR 275 million). The increase in the deferred tax assets on intangible assets mainly comprises the recognition of deferred tax assets on temporary differences resulting from an intra-group business transfer.

#### Tax risks

Philips is exposed to tax risks and uncertainty over tax treatments. For particular tax treatments that are not expected to be accepted by tax authorities, Philips either recognizes a liability or reflects the uncertainty in the recognition and measurement of its current and deferred tax assets and tax attributes. For the measurement of the uncertainty, Philips uses the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment. The expected liabilities resulting from the uncertain tax treatments are included in non-current tax liabilities (2021: EUR 544 million, 2020: EUR 291 million, increase due to lower tax losses or similar tax carryforwards that can be used if uncertain tax treatments were settled for the presumed amount at balance sheet date). The positions include, among others, the following:

#### Transfer pricing risks

Philips has issued transfer pricing directives, which are in accordance with international guidelines such as those of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development. In order to reduce the transfer pricing uncertainties, monitoring procedures are carried out by Group Tax to safeguard the correct implementation of the transfer pricing directives. However, tax disputes can arise due to inconsistent transfer pricing regimes and different views on "at arm's length" pricing.

#### Tax risks on general and specific service agreements and licensing agreements

Due to the centralization of certain activities (such as research and development, IT and group functions), costs are also centralized. As a consequence, these costs and/or revenues must be allocated to the beneficiaries, i.e. the various Philips entities. For that purpose, service contracts such as intra-group service agreements and licensing agreements are signed with a large number of group entities. Tax authorities review these intra-group service and licensing agreements, and may reject the implemented intra-group charges. Furthermore, buy in/out situations in the case of (de)mergers could affect the cost allocation resulting from the intragroup service agreements between countries. The same applies to the specific service agreements.

#### Tax risks due to disentanglements and acquisitions

When a subsidiary of Philips is disentangled, or a new company is acquired, tax risks may arise. Philips creates merger and acquisition (M&A) teams for these disentanglements or acquisitions. In addition to representatives from the involved business, these teams consist of specialists from various group functions and are formed, among other things, to identify tax risks and to reduce potential tax claims.

#### Tax risks due to permanent establishments

A permanent establishment may arise when a Philips entity has activities in another country, tax claims could arise in both countries on the same income.

Impairments | (1,080) | (1,156)
Book value | 8,014 | 10,637

In 2021, goodwill increased by EUR 2,623 million, primarily as a result of goodwill recognized on new acquisitions of BioTelemetry (EUR 1,776 million) and Capsule Technologies of (EUR 325 million), and translation differences of EUR 732 million. This was partially offset by EUR 15 million of impairment losses primarily related to the PERS CGU and EUR 189 million divested in the period, mostly relating to the Domestic Appliances business. For details on the impact of new acquisitions and the divestment of the Domestic Appliances business, refer to Acquisitions and divestments.

In 2020, goodwill decreased by EUR 640 million, mainly due to translation differences which impacted goodwill denominated in USD and impairments totaling EUR 144 million related to Population Health Management (PHM). The decrease was partially offset by goodwill increases from the acquisition of Intact Vascular for an amount of EUR 155 million and other acquisitions as well as changes in the provisional opening balance sheet position for certain 2019 acquisitions (refer to Acquisitions and divestments).

##### Goodwill reallocations in 2021 and 2020

In 2021 there was a change to the CGU structure following an internal reorganization (effective Q1 2021). This resulted in a goodwill reallocation across certain CGUs, none of which had a significant impact on headroom or led to goodwill impairments. These reallocations were performed using a relative value approach.

In Q4 2020, the PHM CGU was split, resulting in a separate CGU for the Personal Emergency Response Services (PERS) and Senior Living business (previously named the Aging and Caregiving (ACG) business) in anticipation of its future divestment. The remaining PHM goodwill was allocated to the PERS CGU and remaining PHM CGU based on relative fair value. The goodwill allocated to the remaining PHM CGU was immaterial. An additional CGU change in 2020 resulted in a goodwill reallocation across certain CGUs, none of which had a significant impact on headroom or led to goodwill impairments.

In addition in 2021 and 2020, there were also certain CGU movements and/or combinations within businesses that did not result in a reallocation of goodwill, but resulted in changes to the business structure. This did not have a significant impact on headroom or lead to goodwill impairments.

##### Impairments

During 2021 a total impairment of EUR 15 million was recognized. The majority of this related to the PERS CGU which was classified as an asset held for sale as of Q4 2020. At June 30, 2021 the PERS CGU was divested. Prior to the divestment a goodwill impairment of EUR 13 million was recorded to reflect a decrease in the recoverable amount of the CGU, this reduced the goodwill balance of the CGU to zero. The fair value less cost of disposal methodology was used to estimate the recoverable amount for the PERS CGU, this was based on Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions and inputs used in the calculation included the signed purchase agreement for the PERS divestment. The impairment of EUR 13 million was recorded in the Connected Care segment and in Other business expenses in the Statement of Income. For further information refer to Acquisitions and divestments .

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the PHM CGU was split, resulting in a separate CGU for the PERS business in anticipation of its future divestment. The impairment test indicated that the pre-split PHM’s carrying balance of EUR 303 million exceeded the recoverable amount of EUR 195 million, resulting in a EUR 108 million goodwill impairment charge. After the PHM impairment, further described below, remaining goodwill in the amount of EUR 63 million was allocated to the PERS CGU and remaining PHM CGU based on their relative fair value. Upon reallocation, standalone impairment tests were completed for PERS and the remaining PHM business. This second impairment test indicated that the PERS carrying balance of EUR 186 million exceeded the recoverable amount of EUR 150 million resulting in a EUR 36 million impairment charge. In total, EUR 144 million of impairment charges were recorded within the Connected Care segment, in the line Other business expenses in the statement of income.

##### Goodwill impairment testing

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (typically one level below segment level, i.e. at the business level), which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes.

Goodwill allocated to the cash generating units Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics, Image-Guided Therapy and Sleep & Respiratory Care is considered to be significant in comparison to the total book value of goodwill for the Group at December 31, 2021. The amounts associated as of December 31, 2021 are presented in the following table:

1)Includes provisional goodwill related to the acquisition of BioTelemetry, see Acquisitions and divestments 2)Previously named Monitoring & Analytics. Includes provisional goodwill related to the acquisition of Capsule Technologies, see Acquisitions and divestments

Unless otherwise noted, the basis of the recoverable amount used in the annual impairment tests for the units disclosed further in this note is the value in use. The fair value less cost to dispose methodology was used as a basis for the recoverable amount in the annual impairment test when greater than the value-in-use test. Refer to the ‘key assumptions- general’ section for further detail on the methodology.

##### Key assumptions - general

Key assumptions used in the value-in-use impairment tests for the units were sales growth rates, EBITA%*) and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using Royal Philips managements’ internal forecasts that cover an initial forecast period from 2022 to 2024. Projections were extrapolated with stable or declining growth rates for an extrapolation period of 4 years (2025-2028), after which a terminal value was calculated per 2029. In the case of acquisitions made during 2021, the acquisition business case is used as management’s forecast for the initial forecast and extrapolation period. For the terminal value calculation, growth rates were capped at a historical long-term average growth rate. In the 2020 value-in-use tests the initial forecast period was 4 years and the extrapolation period 3 years, this reflected the internal forecasting process at that time.

The sales growth rates and EBITA*) used to estimate cash flows are based on past performance, external market growth assumptions and industry long-term growth averages. EBITA*) in all units mentioned in this note is expected to increase over the projection period as a result of volume growth and cost efficiencies.

In 2021 the impact of COVID-19 has gradually reduced, however there continues to be uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of the pandemic, including global supply chain challenges. Where relevant, and to the extent possible, the estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges and resulting uncertainties have been reflected in the forecasts used for the VIU calculations. As was the case in 2020, the company uses scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and supportable assumptions which represent management’s best estimate are used as the basis for the value-in-use tests. These scenarios take into account the expected impact of COVID-19, amongst other factors. In 2020 the forecasted sales growth rates were impacted by the COVID-19 consequences and uncertainties. In general these uncertainties have reduced throughout 2021, meaning that the current year assumptions are impacted to a lesser extent.

The rates used for discounting the projected cash flows in goodwill impairment testing is based on a business weighted cost of capital (WACC), which in turn is based on business-specific inputs along with other inputs as mentioned below. The WACC is based on post-tax cost of equity and cost of debt, and is further calculated based on market data and inputs to accurately capture changes to the time value of money, such as the risk-free interest rate, the beta factor and country risk premium. In order to properly reflect the different risk-profiles of different businesses, a WACC is determined for each business. As such, the beta factor is determined based on a selection of peer companies, which can differ per business. Different businesses have different geographical footprints, resulting in business-specific inputs for variables like country risk.

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

In 2021 cash flow projections of Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics, Image-Guided Therapy and Sleep & Respiratory Care are based on the key assumptions included in the following table, which were used in the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter.

Impairment tests are performed based on forward looking assumptions, using the most recent available information. By their nature, these assumptions involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances and there are many factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in these assumptions.

The results of the annual impairment tests of Sleep & Respiratory Care indicate that the value in use of the CGUs is sensitive to the assumptions set out above. This means that there is a higher risk that deviations in the mentioned key assumptions could cause the recoverable amount to fall below the level of its carrying value. This is due to the uncertainty associated with the initiated voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products, and the associated legal matters. For further details refer to Provisions and Contingent assets and liabilities. Based on the annual impairment test of Sleep & Respiratory Care, it was noted that an increase of 200 basis points in the pre-tax discount rate, a 840 basis points decline in the compound long-term sales growth rate or a 29% decrease in terminal value would, individually, cause its recoverable amount to fall to the level of its carrying value.

The results of the annual impairment test of Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics, Hospital Patient Monitoring and Image-Guided Therapy indicate that a reasonably possible change in key assumptions would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value.

##### Additional information relating to cash-generating units to which a non-significant amount relative to the total goodwill is allocated

For the cash generating units to which a non-significant amount relative to the total goodwill is allocated, any reasonable change in assumptions would not cause the value in use to fall to the level of the carrying value.

Acquisitions in 2021 involved Intangible assets of EUR 841 million in aggregate (2020: EUR 185 million). For more information, refer to Acquisitions and divestments.

Impairments in 2021 were EUR 126 million (2020: EUR 235 million) and mainly relate to technology (EUR 57 million) and product development (EUR 51 million). The most notable impairment in 2021 is in the Diagnosis & Treatment segment, for technology assets in Image Guided Therapy-Systems (IGT Systems) of EUR 55 million. This impairment charge is based on a trigger-based test on the CGU EPD, a business category and an innovator in image-guided procedures for cardiac arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders). The impairment charge is a result of more severe short-term impacts of COVID-19 and the competitive environment. The basis of the recoverable amount used in this test is the value in use, and an after-tax discount rate of 6.5% is applied. After the impairment charge the recoverable amount of the related intangible assets is EUR 29 million.

Other notable impairments in 2021 were in the Connected Care segment, for product development in the Sleep & Respiratory Care (S&RC) business of EUR 35 million. The impairment in the S&RC business is due to delays in commercialization as a result of product improvements needed in combination with resource constraints as a result of the Respironics voluntary recall notification.

In 2021 the impact of COVID-19 has gradually reduced, however there continues to be uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of the pandemic, including global supply chain challenges. Where relevant, and to the extent possible, the estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges and resulting uncertainties have been taken into account when assessing the valuation of intangible assets excluding goodwill. As was the case in 2020, the company uses scenarios in the business forecasting process and the most reasonable and supportable assumptions which represent management’s best estimate are used as the basis for the value-in-use tests. These scenarios take into account the expected impact of COVID-19, amongst other factors.

The amortization of intangible assets is specified in Income from operations.

The expected useful lives of the intangible assets excluding goodwill are as follows:

The weighted average expected remaining life of brand names, customer relationships, technology and other intangible assets is 9.6 years as of December 31, 2021 (2020: 9.1 years).

The most notable intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 relate to the BioTelemetry customer relationships and technology with a carrying value of EUR 391 million and EUR 162 million and a remaining amortization period of 15 years and 11 years, respectively and Spectranetics customer relationships and technology with a carrying value of EUR 292 million and EUR 210 million and a remaining amortization period of 16 years and 11 years, respectively. The most notable intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 relate to the Spectranetics customer relationships and technology with a carrying value of EUR 287 million and EUR 212 million and a remaining amortization period of 17 years and 12 years, respectively.

At December 31, 2021, equity investments of EUR 273 million (2020: EUR 119 million) are accounted under the FVTOCI category based on the company's election at initial recognition mainly because such investments are neither held for trading purposes nor primarily for their increase in value and the elected presentation is considered to reflect the nature and purpose of the investment.

In 2021, reclassifications refer to previous investments in associates that were reclassified to Other non-current financial assets at FVTOCI following the loss of significant influence. The main movement in Other non-current financial assets at FVTPL is related to the value adjustments through P&L of EUR 95 million, which is mainly due to fair value gains from investments in limited life funds.

### 15Other assets

#### Other non-current assets

Other non-current assets in 2021 were EUR 129 million (2020: EUR 66 million). These mainly related to prepaid expenses.

#### Other current assets

Other current assets of EUR 493 million (2020: EUR 424 million) included contract assets EUR 290 million (2020: EUR 229 million), EUR 31 million (2020: EUR 26 million) accrued income and EUR 172 million (2020: EUR 169 million) for prepaid expense mainly related to Diagnosis & Treatment businesses and Connected Care businesses.

### 18Equity

#### Common shares

As of December 31, 2021, authorized common shares consist of 2 billion shares (December 31, 2020: 2 billion; December 31, 2019: 2 billion) and the issued and fully paid share capital consists of 883,898,696 common shares, each share having a par value of EUR 0.20 (December 31, 2020: 911,053,001; December 31, 2019: 896,733,721).

#### Preference shares

As a means to protect the Company against (an attempt at) an unsolicited takeover or other attempt to exert (de facto) control of the company, the ‘Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips’ has been granted the right to acquire preference shares in the Company. As of December 31, 2021, no such right has been exercised and no preference shares have been issued. Authorized preference shares consist of 2 billion shares as of December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: 2 billion; December 31, 2019: 2 billion).

#### Options, restricted and performance shares

Under its share-based compensation plans, the Company granted stock options on its common shares up to 2013 and other rights to receive common shares in the future (refer to Share-based compensation).

#### Treasury shares

In connection with the Company’s share repurchase programs, shares which have been repurchased and are held in Treasury for the purpose of (i) delivery upon exercise of options, restricted and performance share programs, and (ii) capital reduction, are accounted for as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Treasury shares are recorded at cost, representing the market price on the acquisition date. When issued, shares are removed from treasury shares on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

When treasury shares are delivered by the Company upon exercise of options (granted to employees up to 2013), the difference between the cost and the cash received is recorded in retained earnings. When treasury shares are delivered by the Company upon vesting of restricted shares or performance shares (granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans), the difference between the market price of the shares and the cost is recorded in retained earnings, and the market price is recorded in capital in excess of par value.

Share purchase transactions related to employee option and share plans, as well as transactions related to the reduction of share capital, involved a cash outflow of EUR 1,636 million. A cash inflow of EUR 23 million from treasury shares mainly includes settlements of share-based remuneration plans.

#### Share repurchase methods for share-based remuneration plans and capital reduction purposes

Philips uses different methods to repurchase shares in its own capital: (i) share buyback repurchases in the open market via an intermediary; (ii) repurchase of shares via forward contracts for future delivery of shares; and (iii) the unwinding of call options on own shares. During 2021, Philips used methods (i) and (ii) to repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes and methods (ii) and (iii) to repurchase shares for share-based compensation plans.

#### Forward share repurchase plans / contracts

##### Forward contracts to repurchase shares for share-based compensation plans

On May 19, 2021, Royal Philips announced that it will repurchase up to 2 million shares to cover certain of its obligations arising from its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Under this program, Philips entered into one forward contract for an amount of EUR 90 million to acquire 2 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2023 and November 2023 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 44.85.

On January 29, 2020, Philips announced that it will repurchase up to 6 million shares to cover certain of its obligations arising from its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans. Under this program, Philips entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 174 million to acquire 5 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2021 and November 2022 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 34.85. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 1.5 million shares under this program were acquired (all were settled in the fourth quarter of 2021). This resulted in EUR 61 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares.

On October 22, 2018, Philips announced and started a share repurchase program for an amount of up to EUR 174 million to cover its long-term incentive and employee stock purchase plans, after which it repurchased shares via an intermediary to allow for buybacks in the open market during both open and closed periods. On November 12, 2018, Philips announced to extend this program and entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 319 million to repurchase 10 million shares with settlement dates varying between October 2019 and November 2021 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 31.89. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 10 million shares under this program had been acquired (4 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2019, 4 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2021). This resulted in EUR 319 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares (EUR 130 million, EUR 126 million and EUR 62 million pertaining to 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively).

As of December 31, 2021, the remaining forward contracts to cover obligations under share-based remuneration plans related to 5.5 million shares and amounted to EUR 203 million.

##### Forward contracts to repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes

On July 26, 2021, Philips announced a share buyback program for share cancellation purposes for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. Consequently, in the third quarter of 2021 Philips entered into three forward contracts for an amount of EUR 731 million to acquire 20 million shares with settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and a weighted average forward price of 37.36. Philips executed the remainder of the program through open market purchases by an intermediary in the fourth quarter of 2021 (acquiring 21 million shares) and January 2022 (acquiring 0.8 million shares). This resulted in a EUR 781 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares. As of December 31, 2021, all of these forward contracts were outstanding.

On January 29, 2019, Philips announced a share buyback program for an amount of up to EUR 1.5 billion. Philips started the program in the first quarter of 2019. On March 23, 2020, Philips announced that 50.3% of the program had been completed through repurchases by an intermediary to allow for purchases in the open market during both open and closed periods, and that the remainder of the program would be executed through one or more individual forward transactions. Consequently, in the first half of 2020 Philips entered into four forward contracts for an amount of EUR 745 million to acquire 20 million shares with settlement dates varying between June 2021 and December 2021 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 36.40. As of December 31, 2021, all shares under this program were acquired (of which 2.5 million shares in the second quarter of 2021, 2.5 million shares in the third quarter of 2021 and 15.5 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2021). This resulted in EUR 745 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares.

#### Share call options

In 2016 Philips purchased EUR-denominated and USD-denominated call options on its own shares to hedge options granted to employees up to 2013.

In 2021, the company unwound 374,826 EUR-denominated and 121,750 USD-denominated call options against the transfer of the same number of its own shares (496,576 shares) and an additional EUR 9 million cash payment to the buyer of the call options.

As of December 31, 2021, the remaining EUR-denominated and USD-denominated call options related to 295,630 and 152,565 shares, respectively.

#### Shares cancellation

In December 2021 Philips completed the cancellation of 33.5 million of its common shares (with a cost price of EUR 1,228 million). The cancelled shares were acquired as part of the Philips’ EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase programs announced on January 29, 2019 and EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase programs announced on July 26, 2021, respectively.

#### Dividend distribution

##### 2021

In June 2021, Philips distributed a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 773 million (including costs). Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 38%of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 6,345,968 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 482 million (including costs).

A proposal will be submitted to the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to pay a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholder, against the net income of the company for 2021.

##### 2020

In July 2020, Philips distributed a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 758 million (including costs). The dividend was distributed in the form of shares only resulting in the issuance of 18,080,198 new common shares.

##### 2019

In June 2019, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 775 million (including costs). Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 42% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 9,079,538 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 453 million (including costs).

#### Limitations in the distribution of shareholders’ equity

As of December 31, 2021, pursuant to Dutch law, certain limitations exist relating to the distribution of shareholders’ equity of EUR 1,947 million. Such limitations relate to common shares of EUR 177 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained earnings of EUR 654 million and unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 1,117 million. The unrealized loss related to cash flow hedges of EUR 25 million and unrealized loss related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR 344 million qualify as revaluation reserves and reduce the distributable amount due to the fact that these reserves are negative.

The legal reserves required by Dutch law of EUR 654 million included under retained earnings relates to any legal or economic restrictions on the ability of affiliated companies to transfer funds to the parent company in the form of dividends.

As of December 31, 2020, these limitations in distributable amounts were EUR 831 million and related to common shares of EUR 182 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained earnings of EUR 626 million and unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 58 million. The unrealized losses related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR 305 million and unrealized gain related to cash flow hedges of EUR 23 million qualify as a revaluation reserve and reduce the distributable amount due to the fact that this reserve is negative.

#### Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests relate to minority stakes held by third parties in consolidated group companies.

#### Capital management

Philips manages capital based upon the IFRS measures, net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used for investing activities as well as the non-IFRS measure net debt*). The definition of this non-IFRS measure and a reconciliation to the IFRS measure is included below.

Net debt*) is defined as the sum of long and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Group equity is defined as the sum of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests. This measure is used by Philips Treasury management and investment analysts to evaluate financial strength and funding requirements. The Philips net debt*) position is managed with the intention of retaining our current strong investment grade credit rating. Furthermore, Philips’ aim when managing the net debt*) position is dividend stability and a pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders*) (reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, is provided at the end of this note).

#### Respironics field action provision

On June 14, 2021, Philips’ subsidiary, Philips Respironics initiated a voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for certain sleep and respiratory care products related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these devices.

On December 23, 2021, Philips reported that test results to date for the first-generation DreamStation devices indicated that the volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations are within the limits of safe exposure specified in the applicable safety standard (ISO 18562). Comprehensive particulate testing and analyses are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.

Following the substantial ramp-up of production, service and repair capacity, the repair and replacement program in the US and several other markets is under way. Because of prioritization of the repair and replace program, Philips is currently not taking new orders for sleep therapy systems, while masks and other consumables continue to be sold. As of January 2022, Philips Respironics has shipped a total of approximately 750,000 repair kits and replacement devices to customers and aims to complete the repair and replacement program in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Philips has recognized a provision based on Philips' best estimate of the costs to repair or replace devices subject to the Respironics field action as follows:

| 2021
--- | ---
Additions | 719
Utilizations | (175)
Translation differences | 33
Balance as of December 31 | 577

The future developments are subject to significant uncertainties, which require management to make estimates and assumptions about items such as quantities and the portion to be replaced or repaired. As of December 31, 2021, the impact of changes in these main assumptions and estimates, holding other assumptions constant, on the field action provision are as follows:

Philips Group

Main assumptions

in millions of EUR unless otherwise stated

|  | Increase (decrease) in provision

Assumption | Estimate | Increase individual assumption by 10% | Decrease individual assumption by 10%
Total quantity of devices | 5.2 million | 63 | (63)
Replacement share | 46% | 44 | (44)

Actual outcomes in future periods may differ from these estimates and affect the company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Philips Respironics continues to engage with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other relevant competent authorities. In addition, other charges related to the remediation, such as testing, external advisory and regulatory response, that are expensed as incurred amounted to EUR 94 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Furthermore, Philips is a defendant in a number of consumer class action lawsuits from users of the affected devices and a number of individual personal injury and other compensation claims. For legal matters including claims refer to Contingent assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, no provisions have been recognized for such remediation costs or legal matters.

#### Product warranty

The provisions for assurance-type product warranty reflect the estimated costs of replacement and free-of-charge services that will be incurred by the company with respect to products sold, and include costs to execute field change orders. The field action provision in connection with the Philips Respironics voluntary recall notification is shown separately above.

The company expects the provisions to be utilized mainly within the next year. Additions in 2021 include quality actions of EUR 94 million in the Connected Care segment.

#### Environmental provisions

The environmental provisions include accrued costs recorded with respect to environmental remediation in various countries. In the United States, subsidiaries of the company have been named as potentially responsible parties in state and federal proceedings for the clean-up of certain sites.

Provisions for environmental remediation can change significantly due to the emergence of additional information regarding the extent or nature of the contamination, the need to utilize alternative technologies, actions by regulatory authorities as well as changes in judgments and discount rates.

Approximately EUR 71 million of the long-term provision is expected to be utilized after one to five years, with the remainder after five years. For more details on the environmental remediation refer to Contingent assets and liabilities.

The additions and the releases of the provisions originate from additional insights in relation to factors like the estimated cost of remediation, changes in regulatory requirements and efficiencies in completion of various site work phases.

Based on the progressive insight with respect to site remediation experience, technological progress and risk-based clean-up strategies, the estimated remaining duration of remediation activities for environmental liabilities for infinite environmental sites was revised in 2021 from 60 years to 30 years. The resulting release was EUR 55 million of which EUR 33 million is recorded in continuing operations and EUR 22 million in discontinued operations.

Acquisitions | 70 | 16
Utilizations | (14) | (48)
Fair value changes | (93) | (78)
Balance as of December 31 | 318 | 208

The provision for contingent consideration reflects the fair value of the expected payment to former shareholders of an acquiree for the exchange of control if specified future events occur or conditions are met, such as the achievement of certain regulatory milestones or the achievement of certain commercial milestones. The provision for contingent consideration can change significantly due to changes in the estimated achievement of milestones and changes in discount rates. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration liability are reflected in other business income.

###### EPD

In 2020 and 2021, the fair value changes mainly related to EPD. In 2021, the decrease of EUR 67 million in the fair value of the contingent consideration comprised of EUR 41 million due to the revisions to EPD’s forecast due to more severe short-term impacts of COVID-19 and the competitive environment, and EUR 26 million due to delays in achievement of certain milestones. In 2020, revisions to EPD’s forecast due to delays in commercialization caused by the need to do more work on the maturity of the technology, resulted in a EUR 101 million decrease in the respective fair value of the contingent consideration. For more details of the EPD contingent consideration refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

The company expects the provisions to be utilized mainly within the next three years.

### 21Post-employment benefits

Employee post-employment benefit plans have been established in many countries in accordance with the legal requirements, customs and the local practice in the countries involved. The larger part of post-employment benefits are company pension plans, of which some are funded and some are unfunded. All funded post-employment benefit plans are considered to be related parties.

Most employees that take part in a company pension plan are covered by defined contribution (DC) pension plans. The main DC plans are in the Netherlands and the United States. The company also sponsors a number of defined benefit (DB) pension plans. The benefits provided by these plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation levels.

The company also sponsors a limited number of DB retiree medical plans. The benefits provided by these plans typically cover a part of the healthcare costs after retirement. None of these plans are individually significant to the company and are therefore not further separately disclosed.

The larger funded DB and DC plans are governed by independent Trustees who have a legal obligation to protect the interests of all plan members and operate under the local regulatory framework.

The DB plans in Germany and the United States make up most of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) and the net position. The company also has DB plans in the rest of the world; however these are individually not significant to the company and do not have a significantly different risk profile that would warrant separate disclosure.

The adjacent table provides a break-down of the present value of the funded and unfunded DBO, the fair value of plan assets and the net position in Germany, the United States and in Other Countries.

#### Germany

The company has several DB plans in Germany which for the largest part are unfunded, meaning that after retirement the company is responsible for the benefit payments to retirees.

Due to the relatively high level of social security in Germany, the company’s pension plans mainly provide benefits for the higher earners. The plans are open for future pension accrual. Indexation is mandatory due to legal requirements. Some of the German plans have a DC design, but are accounted for as DB plans due to a legal minimum return requirement.

Company pension commitments in Germany are partly protected against employer bankruptcy via the “Pensions-Sicherungs-Verein” which charges a fee to all German companies providing pension promises.

Philips is one of the sponsors of Philips Pensionskasse VVaG in Germany, which is a multi-employer plan. The plan is classified and accounted for as a DC plan.

#### The United States

The US DB pension plans are closed plans without future pension accrual. For the funding of any deficit in the US plan the Group adheres to the minimum funding requirements of the US Pension Protection Act.

The assets of the US funded pension plans are in Trusts governed by fiduciaries. The non-qualified pension plans that cover accrual above the maximum salary of the funded qualified plan are unfunded.

The company’s qualified pension commitments in the United States are covered via the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation which charges a fee to US companies providing DB pension plans. The fee is also dependent on the amount of unfunded vested liabilities.

#### Risks related to DB plans

DB plans expose the company to various demographic and economic risks such as longevity risk, investment risks, currency and interest rate risk and in some cases inflation risk. The latter plays a role in the assumed wage increase but more importantly in some countries where indexation of pensions is mandatory.

The company has an active de-risking strategy in which it constantly looks for opportunities to reduce the risks associated with its DB plans. Liability-driven investment strategies, lump sum cash-out options, buy-ins, buy-outs and a change to DC are examples of the strategy.

#### Investment policy in our largest pension plans

Pension fund trustees are responsible for and have full discretion over the investment strategy of the plan assets. The plan assets of the Philips pension plans are invested in well diversified portfolios. The interest rate sensitivity of the fixed income portfolio is closely aligned to that of the plan’s pension liabilities for most of the plans. Any contributions from the sponsoring company are used to further increase the fixed income part of the assets. As part of the investment strategy, any improvement in the funded ratio over time is used to further decrease the interest rate mismatch between the plan assets and the pension liabilities.

#### Plan assets allocation

The asset allocation in the company’s DB plans at December 31 was as follows:

Philips Group

Plan assets allocation

in millions of EUR

| 2020 | 2021
--- | --- | ---
Assets quoted in active markets |  |
- Debt securities | 782 | 790
- Equity securities |  |
- Other | 175 | 195
Assets not quoted in active markets |  |
- Debt securities | 7 | 1
- Equity securities | 133 | 122
- Other | 307 | 272
Total assets | 1,403 | 1,380

The plan assets in 2021 contain 29% (2020: 32%) unquoted plan assets. Plan assets in 2021 do not include property occupied by or financial instruments issued by the company.

#### Assumptions

The mortality tables used for the company’s largest DB plans are:

Germany: Heubeck-Richttafeln 2018 Generational, assuming 93% of mortality rates for male retirees between age 60 and 85
US: PRI-2012 Generational with MP2021 improvement scale + white collar adjustment

The weighted averages of the assumptions used to calculate the DBO as of December 31 were as follows:

Philips Group

Assumptions used for defined-benefit obligations in Germany, the United States and the rest of the world

in %

| Germany | United States | Other Countries | Total
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
| 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | 2021
Discount rate | 0.6% | 1.1% | 2.3% | 2.6% | 2.2% | 2.1% | 1.5% | 1.8%
Inflation rate | 1.6% | 1.8% | 2.0% | 2.2% | 1.7% | 2.0% | 1.7% | 2.0%
Salary increase | 2.5% | 2.5% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 2.7% | 2.9% | 2.5% | 2.6%

The company changed the methodology for setting discount rates in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, Philips uses the Mercer yield curve methodology for setting the discount rate. The change of discount rate methodology is treated as a change in accounting estimate. The impact on the DBO amounts to a decrease of EUR 11 million and the impact on the current service cost amounts to a decrease lower than EUR 1 million. The impact of the change in accounting estimate has been estimated as of December 31, 2021.

#### Sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates the approximate impact on the DBO from movements in key assumptions. The DBO was recalculated using a change in the assumptions of 1% which overall is considered a reasonably possible change. The impact on the DBO because of changes in discount rate is normally accompanied by offsetting movements in plan assets, especially when using matching strategies.

The average duration of the DBO of the DB plans is 11 years (Germany: 11, United States: 12, and Other countries: 11) as of December 31, 2021 (2020: 12 years).

Philips Group

Sensitivity of key assumptions

in millions of EUR

| 2020 | 2021
--- | --- | ---
Increase |  |
Discount rate (1% movement) | (226) | (196)
Inflation rate (1% movement) | 86 | 99
Salary increase (1% movement) | 16 | 19
Longevity1) | 51 | 48
Decrease |  |
Discount rate (1% movement) | 265 | 241
Inflation rate (1% movement) | (78) | (83)
Salary increase (1% movement) | (19) | (18)

1)The mortality table (i.e. longevity) also impacts the DBO. The above sensitivity table illustrates the impact on the DBO of a further 10% decrease in the assumed rates of mortality for the company’s major plans. A 10% decrease in assumed mortality rates equals improvement of life expectancy by 0.5 - 1 year.

#### Cash flows and costs in 2022

The company expects considerable cash outflows in relation to post-employment benefits which are estimated to amount to EUR 457 million in 2022, consisting of:

- EUR 23 million employer contributions to funded DB plans (Germany: EUR 13 million, United States: EUR 0 million, Other Countries: EUR 10 million);
- EUR 40 million cash outflows in relation to unfunded DB plans (Germany: EUR 19 million, United States: EUR 10 million, Other Countries: EUR 11 million); and
- EUR 394 million employer contributions to DC plans (Netherlands: EUR 194 million, United States: EUR 139 million, Other Countries: EUR 61 million).

The service and administration cost for 2022 is expected to amount to EUR 34 million for DB plans. The net interest cost for 2022 for the DB plans is expected to amount to EUR 9 million. The cost for DC pension plans in 2022 is equal to the expected DC cash flow.

##### Purchase and proceeds from non-current financial assets

In 2021, the net cash flow is EUR 0 million.

In 2020, the net cash outflow of EUR 66 million was mainly the cash outflow due to investment in DC Health amounting to EUR 45 million in China.

In 2019, the net cash inflow of EUR 99 million was mainly due to the sale of the company's investment in Corindus Vascular Robotics and other stakes, partly offset by an outflow due to capital contributions into investment funds.

The company and certain of its group companies and former group companies are involved as a party in legal proceedings, regulatory and other governmental proceedings, including discussions on potential remedial actions, relating to such matters as competition issues, commercial transactions, product liability, participations, and environmental pollution.

While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of all pending or threatened legal proceedings, regulatory and governmental proceedings, the company is of the opinion that the cases described below may have, or have had in the recent past, a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

###### Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT)

Following the public investigations into alleged anticompetitive activities in the Cathode Ray Tubes industry that began in 2007, certain Philips Group companies were named as defendants in numerous (class action) lawsuits in the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Israel. Plaintiffs in these cases varied from classes of indirect and direct purchasers, state attorneys general, electronics retailers and television and monitor manufacturers.

By the end of 2021, resolutions have been reached in most of these cases. Litigation is still pending or threatened in relation to: (i) potential claims that may be filed by certain objectors to the original US indirect purchaser class settlement that was finally approved in 2021 (ii) a claim filed by the state attorney general for Puerto Rico, (iii) a claim filed by a monitor manufacturer in the UK, (iv) a consumer class action in Israel and (v) a consumer action in the Netherlands.

In all cases, the same substantive allegations about anticompetitive activities in the CRT industry are made and damages are sought. Despite prior settlements, the company has concluded that due to the specific circumstances in the cases that settled, and the particularities and considerable uncertainty associated with the remaining matters, based on current knowledge, potential losses cannot be reliably estimated with respect to the matters that are still pending.

In 2019, the company was served with a claim filed by LG Electronics (LGE) in the Seoul Central District Court. LGE claimed restitution of approximately EUR 210 million, representing a portion of the fine that LGE paid to the European Commission relating to the joint venture LG. Philips Displays for which LGE and the Company were jointly and severally liable. LGE alleges that based on the manner in which the fine was calculated, the company should have paid proportionally more than it currently has. In November 2020, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed LGE’s case which decision was confirmed by the Seoul High Court on December 23, 2021.

###### Public Investigations

The company is engaged in discussions with, and has provided information to, the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice (DoJ) regarding alleged tender irregularities in the medical device industry in certain jurisdictions. These interactions are primarily focused on a number of potential compliance findings that the company is addressing in China and Bulgaria.

In 2020, the company entered into a leniency agreement with the Brazilian public prosecution service for historic transactions involving tender irregularities in Brazil. An investigation by CADE, the Brazilian competition authority, focused on these transactions remains ongoing. The Brazilian matters are part of the discussions with the SEC and DoJ.

Given the significant uncertainty regarding the nature of the relevant events and obligations, Philips is not currently able to reliably estimate the financial effect of a range of possible outcomes in connection with these matters. The outcomes of these matters could have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

###### Respironics field action

On June 14, 2021, Philips’ subsidiary Philips RS North America LLC (Philips Respironics) issued a voluntary recall notification in the United States and field safety notice outside the United States for specific Philips Respironics Bi-Level PAP, CPAP, and mechanical ventilator devices.

###### FDA inspection

On August 26, 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commenced an inspection of the Philips Respironics manufacturing facility in Murrysville, Pennsylvania and provided Philips Respironics with its preliminary inspectional observations on November 9, 2021. Philips Respironics responded to the FDA’s inspectional observations in December 2021, which described the actions already taken by the company, as well as additional planned actions. Philips Respironics is also providing periodic updates to the FDA on its progress for the planned actions. Should the FDA decide that Philips Respironics’ written response and/or actions are not timely or sufficient to address the FDA’s inspectional observations, the FDA may take additional enforcement action, which may include monetary penalties.

###### Product liability claims

Following the voluntary recall notification, a number of civil complaints have been filed in several jurisdictions against Philips Respironics and certain of its affiliates (including the company) generally alleging economic loss, personal injury and/or the potential for personal injury allegedly caused by devices subject to the recall.

In the United States, as of December 31, 2021, approximately 100 consumer class action lawsuits and 1 commercial class action lawsuit had been filed alleging economic loss and/or medical monitoring claims. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, approximately 120 personal injury lawsuits had been filed in the United States. On October 8, 2021, a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in the US District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania was formed, and most of these class action and personal injury lawsuits have been consolidated in the MDL for pre-trial proceedings.

In Australia, a consumer class action lawsuit alleging personal injury was filed against the company’s subsidiary Philips Electronics Australia Ltd on October 4, 2021. Philips Respironics and certain of its affiliates (including the company) are also defendants in consumer class action lawsuits in Canada and Israel alleging economic loss and/or personal injury.

While the company believes it is probable that these lawsuits will in the aggregate lead to an outflow of economic resources for Philips Respironics or other Philips entities, given the significant uncertainty regarding the nature of the relevant events and potential obligations, the company is not currently able to reliably estimate the amount of the obligation associated with these various lawsuits. The final outcome of the individual lawsuits and the cost to resolve them cannot currently be determined due to a number of variables, including claimant-specific information that is not yet available. In addition, the company cannot reasonably predict the number of claims that may be asserted in the future in relation to this matter. An adverse outcome with respect to any or all of these lawsuits and/or any future claims could have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

###### Securities class action

On August 16, 2021, a securities class action complaint was filed against the company, its CEO and its CFO in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 causing damage to investors. On January 3, 2022, the lead plaintiff in the case filed its amended complaint seeking to represent individuals that purchased Philips shares between February 23, 2016, through November 12, 2021. The amended complaint focuses on share price declines that allegedly occurred as a result of disclosures included in the Q1 2021 earnings release on April 26, 2021, the voluntary recall notification on June 14, 2021, the Q2 2021 earnings release on July 26, 2021, and the publication of the form 483 observations by the FDA on November 12, 2021. The Company’s motion to dismiss is currently due in the first quarter of 2022.

It is the company’s assessment that it is possible but not probable that the case could lead to a certain outflow of economic resources. An adverse outcome of this case could have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

###### Other claims

On October 12, 2021, SoClean, a company offering ozone-based cleaning products for sleep devices, filed a lawsuit against the company and certain of its affiliates alleging that the defendants’ statements about the potential adverse effect ozone cleaning may have on the recalled devices has significantly damaged its business. The company believes that the claim is without merit and will vigorously defend itself.

It is possible that additional related claims, including from customers or business partners regarding alleged economic losses suffered as a consequence of the voluntary recall, may be filed against Philips Respironics or other Philips entities in the future. In particular, Philips Respironics is engaging with certain customers on the level of compensation they allege to be entitled to under Philips Respironics’ repair and replacement program.

In the event of an adverse outcome, these matters could have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

To date no provisions have been recorded for the litigation associated with the Respironics field action.

### 27Share-based compensation

The purpose of the share-based compensation plans is to align the interests of management with those of shareholders by providing incentives to improve the company’s performance on a long-term basis, thereby increasing shareholder value.

The company has the following plans:

- performance shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on performance and service conditions;
- restricted shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on a service condition; and
- options on its common shares, including the 2012 and 2013 Accelerate! grant.

Since 2013 the Board of Management and other members of the Executive Committee are only granted performance shares*). Performance shares as well as restricted shares can be granted to executives, certain selected employees and new employees. Prior to 2013 options were also granted.

Under the terms of employee stock purchase plans established by the company in various countries, employees are eligible to purchase a limited number of Philips shares at discounted prices through payroll withholdings.

Share-based compensation costs were EUR 116 million (2020: EUR 121 million; 2019: EUR 105 million). This includes the employee stock purchase plan of EUR 7 million, which is not a share-based compensation that affects equity . In the Consolidated statements of changes in equity EUR 110 million is recognized in 2021 and represent the costs of the share-based compensation plans. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for forfeiture. USD-denominated performance shares, restricted shares and options are granted to employees in the United States only.

#### Performance shares

The performance is measured over a three-year performance period. The performance shares granted in 2019 have two performance conditions, relative Total Shareholders’ Return ('TSR') compared to a peer group of 20 companies including Philips (2020: 20 companies, 2019; 20 companies) and adjusted Earnings Per Share growth ('EPS'). For performance shares granted in 2020 onwards, an additional non-financial criterion was added around sustainability. The introduction of the sustainability criterion reflects a further alignment of the remuneration package for the Board of Management with Philips‘ mission, vision and aim to act as a responsible member of society. The criterion is based on three Sustainable Development Goals ('SDG') as defined by the United Nations that are included in Philips’ strategy on sustainability (refer to Environment, Social and Governance).

The performance shares vest three years after the grant date. The number of performance shares that will vest is dependent on achieving the performance conditions provided that the grantee is still employed with the company. For the performance shares with a grant date in 2019 the two financial conditions, TSR and EPS, are equally weighted, while for the performance shares with a grant date in 2020 and 2021 the TSR is weighted 50%, EPS 40% and SDG 10%.

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for actual performance of adjusted EPS growth and the actual realization of the SDGs since these are non-market performance conditions. It is not adjusted for non-vesting or extra vesting of performance shares due to a relative TSR performance that differs from the performance anticipated at the grant date, since this is a market-based performance condition.

The fair value of the performance shares is measured based on Monte-Carlo simulation, which takes into account dividend payments between the grant date and the vesting date by including reinvested dividends as well as the market conditions expected to impact relative Total Shareholders’ Return performance in relation to selected peers. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the 2021 grants:

- Risk-free rate: (0.69)%
- Expected share price volatility: 28%

The assumptions were used for these calculations only and do not necessarily represent an indication of Management’s expectation of future developments for other purposes. The company has based its volatility assumptions on historical experience measured over a ten-year period.

A summary of the status of the company’s performance share plans as of December 31, 2021 and changes during the year are presented in the following table:

1)The annual incentives are related to the performance in the year reported which are paid out in the subsequent year.2)Costs of performance shares and restricted share rights are based on accounting standards (IFRS) and do not reflect the value of performance shares at the vesting/release date 3)The stated amounts mainly concern (share of) allowances to members of the Board of Management that can be considered as remuneration. In a situation where such a share of an allowance can be considered as (indirect) remuneration (for example, private use of the company car), then the share is both valued and accounted for here. The method employed by the fiscal authorities is the starting point for the value stated.

The accumulated annual pension entitlements and the pension costs of individual members of the Board of Management are as follows:

### 29Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will ultimately be realized by the company upon maturity or disposal. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value is not included if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. As reflected in the following table, equity instruments carried at FVTOCI were designated as such upon the adoption of IFRS 9 and upon initial measurement of new equity instruments. Remaining financial assets are mandatorily classified as FVTPL or FVTOCI.

1)For Cash and cash equivalents, Loans and receivables, Accounts payable, interest accrual and Debt (excluding corporate bonds and leases), the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the nature of these instruments (including maturity and interest conditions) and therefore fair value information is not included in the table above.

The fair value of Philips’ debt is estimated on the basis of the quoted market prices for certain issuances, or on the basis of discounted cash flow analysis based upon market rates plus Philips’ spread for the particular tenors of the borrowing arrangement. Accrued interest is not included within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

##### Level 1

Instruments included in level 1 are comprised primarily of listed equity investments classified as financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss or carried at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

##### Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives or convertible bond instruments) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 2. The fair value of derivatives is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable interest yield curves, basis spread and foreign exchange rates. The valuation of convertible bond instruments uses observable market quoted data for the options and present value calculations using observable yield curves for the fair value of the bonds.

##### Level 3

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, such as third-party pricing information without adjustments, the instrument is included in level 3.

Philips recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

As part of the EPD acquisition Philips may be required to pay additional consideration to former shareholders if specified future events occur or conditions are met, such as the achievement of certain regulatory milestones or the achievement of certain commercial milestones. The fair value of this contingent consideration provision was determined using a probability-weighted and a risk-adjusted approach to estimate the achievement of future regulatory and commercial milestones, respectively. The discount rates used in the risk-adjusted approach are ranging from 8 to 9 percent and reflect the inherent risk related to achieving the commercial milestones. Both regulatory and commercial milestones are discounted for the time value of money at risk-free rates. The fair value measurement is based on management’s estimates and assumptions and hence classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For further information on this and other contingent consideration provisions, refer to Provisions.

A sensitivity analysis of the EPD contingent consideration provision at December 31, 2021 shows that if the probabilities of success for regulatory milestones are increased by 10 percentage points, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the provision would increase by approximately 11%. Similarly, a decrease in the probabilities of success for regulatory milestones by 10 percentage points would reduce the fair value by approximately 11%. If the discount rates for commercial milestones were to increase instantaneously by 100 basis points from the assumption at December 31, 2021, with all other variables (including foreign exchange rates) held constant, the fair value of the provision would decrease by approximately 4%, while a decrease in the discount rates of 100 basis points would increase the fair value by approximately 4%.

In 2021 the impact of COVID-19 has gradually reduced, however there continues to be uncertainty and volatility related to the impact of the pandemic, including global supply chain challenges. Where relevant, the estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges and resulting uncertainties have been reflected in the forecasts used as a basis for the fair value of contingent consideration.

The following table shows the reconciliation from the beginning balance to the end balance for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The following section elaborates on transactions in derivatives. Transactions in derivatives are subject to master netting and set-off agreements. In the case of certain termination events, under the terms of the master agreement, Philips can terminate the outstanding transactions and aggregate their positive and negative values to arrive at a single net termination sum (or close-out amount). This contractual right is subject to the following:

- The right may be limited by local law if the counterparty is subject to bankruptcy proceedings;
- The right applies on a bilateral basis.

### 30Details of treasury and other financial risks

Philips is exposed to several types of financial risks. This note further analyzes financial risks. Philips does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Information regarding financial instruments is included in Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk for the group is monitored through the Treasury liquidity committee, which tracks the development of the actual cash flow position for the group and uses input from a number of sources in order to forecast the overall liquidity position on both a short and longer term basis. Philips invests surplus cash in short-term deposits with appropriate maturities to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet liabilities when due and in money market funds.

The rating of the company’s debt by major rating agencies may improve or deteriorate. As a result, Philips’ future borrowing capacity may be influenced and its financing costs may fluctuate. Philips has various sources to mitigate the liquidity risk for the group. At December 31, 2021, Philips had EUR 2,303 million in cash and cash equivalents (2020: EUR 3,226 million), within which short-term deposits of EUR 1,357 million (2020: EUR 1,983 million). Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances, money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Philips pools cash from subsidiaries to the extent legally and economically feasible; cash not pooled remains available for the company’s operational or investment needs.

Philips faces cross-border foreign exchange controls and/or other legal restrictions in a few countries that could limit its ability to make these balances available on short notice for general use by the group.

Furthermore, Philips has a USD 2.5 billion Commercial Paper Program and a EUR 1.0 billion committed standby revolving credit facility that can be used for general group purposes, such as a backstop for its Commercial Paper Program. Philips issued commercial paper of EUR 300 million in May and EUR 150 million in July, that was repaid in September 2021. The facility does not have a material adverse change clause, has no financial covenants and no credit-rating-related acceleration possibilities. As of December 31, 2021, Philips did not have any loans outstanding under either facility. As per 9 March 2020, Philips has established a Euro Medium-Term Note (EMTN) program, a framework that facilitates the issuance of notes for a total amount up to EUR 10 billion. In 2021, Philips did not issue any new notes under the program. For a description of Philips’ credit facilities, refer to Debt.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, at December 31, 2021, Philips also held EUR 67 million of listed (level 1) equity investments at fair value (classified as other non-current financial assets).

The following table presents a summary of the Group’s fixed contractual cash obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2021. These amounts are an estimate of future payments which could change as a result of various factors such as a change in interest rates, foreign exchange, contractual provisions, as well as changes in our business strategy and needs. Therefore, the actual payments made in future periods may vary from those presented in the following table:

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

Philips has contracts with investment funds where it committed itself to make, under certain conditions, capital contributions to these funds of an aggregated remaining amount of EUR 104 million (2020: EUR 132 million). As at December 31, 2021 capital contributions already made to these investment funds are recorded as non-current financial assets.

Philips offers voluntary supply chain finance programs with third parties which provide participating suppliers the opportunity to factor their trade receivables at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. Philips continues to recognize these liabilities as trade payables and settles them accordingly on the invoice maturity date based on the terms and conditions these arrangements . At December 31, 2021 approximately EUR 139 million (2020: EUR 227 million)of the Philips account payable were transferred under these arrangements.

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

#### Leasing activities

The company leases various items of real estate, vehicles and other equipment where it acts as a lessee. The company has multiple extension and termination options in a number of lease contracts. These are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the company's operations. The options considered reasonably certain are part of lease liabilities. However, the options not considered reasonably certain are not part of lease liability, which exposes the company to potential future cash outflows amounting to EUR 381 million. In addition, the company is committed to leases not yet commenced to EUR 91 million. The company's lease contracts do not contain financial covenants.

The company enters into sale and lease back transactions primarily for its Sleep & Respiratory Care businesses. These transactions are accounted for at market value. The payments for these leases are considered in determining lease liabilities. Principal repayments are part of cash flows used for financing activities and interest payments are part of cash flows used for operating activities. The cash inflows arising from the sales transactions, are part of cash flows provided by financing activities. Lease payments under sale-and-leaseback arrangements for 2021 were EUR 85 million (2020: EUR 112 million). The remaining minimum payment under sales-and-leaseback arrangements included in lease obligations above are as follows:

Philips has leasing activities where it acts as lessor. In such arrangements, Philips provides the customer with a right to use of medical equipment in exchange for a series of payments. Residual values of assets under lease form an insignificant part of the carrying amount of those assets. Residual values are influenced by asset market prices and are therefore subject to management estimation. Residual values are at least reassessed on an annual basis, or more often when necessary. Reassessments are based on a combination of realization of assets sold, expert knowledge and judgment of local markets. For lease receivables, the value of unguaranteed residual values on December 31, 2021 was EUR 0.2 million (2020: EUR 0.2 million). In order to reduce residual value risk exposures there may be residual value guarantees or purchase options embedded in the customer contract. Credit risk for lease receivables is reviewed regularly and mitigated, for example, by retaining a security interest in the leased asset.

#### Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that reported financial performance or the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Philips operates in many countries and currencies and therefore currency fluctuations may impact Philips’ financial results. Philips is exposed to currency risk in the following areas:

- Transaction exposures, related to anticipated sales and purchases and on-balance-sheet receivables/payables resulting from such transactions
- Translation exposure of foreign-currency intercompany and external debt and deposits
- Translation exposure of net income in foreign entities
- Translation exposure of foreign-currency-denominated equity invested in consolidated companies
- Translation exposure to equity interests in non-functional-currency investments in associates and other non-current financial assets.

It is Philips’ policy to reduce the potential year-on-year volatility caused by foreign-currency movements on its net earnings by hedging the anticipated net exposure of foreign currencies resulting from foreign-currency sales and purchases. In general, net anticipated exposures for the Group are hedged during a period of 15 months in layers of 20% up to a maximum hedge of 80%. Philips’ policy requires significant committed foreign currency exposures to be fully hedged, generally using forwards. However, not every foreign currency can or shall be hedged as there may be regulatory barriers or prohibitive hedging cost preventing Philips from effectively and/or efficiently hedging its currency exposures. As a result, hedging activities cannot and will not eliminate all currency risks for anticipated and committed transaction exposures.

The following table outlines the estimated nominal value in millions of EUR for committed and anticipated transaction exposure and related hedges for Philips’ most significant currency exposures consolidated as of December 31, 2021:

Philips uses foreign exchange spot and forward contracts, as well as zero cost collars in hedging the exposure. The derivatives related to transactions are, for hedge accounting purposes, split into hedges of on-balance-sheet accounts receivable/ payable and forecasted sales and purchases. Changes in the value of on-balance-sheet foreign-currency accounts receivable/payable, as well as the changes in the fair value of the hedges related to these exposures, are reported in the income statement under costs of sales. Hedges related to forecasted transactions, where hedge accounting is applied, are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The results from such hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income within equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. As of December 31, 2021, a loss of EUR 25 million was deferred in equity as a result of these hedges (2020: EUR 23 million gain). The result deferred in equity will be released to earnings mostly during 2022 at the time when the related hedged transactions affect the income statement. During 2021, EUR nil million (2020: EUR nil million net gain) was recorded in the consolidated statement of income as a result of ineffectiveness on certain anticipated cash flow hedges. Ineffectiveness arises when anticipated exposures are no longer expected to be highly probable. During 2021, a gain of EUR 30 million included in the cash flow hedges reserve in equity pertaining to changes in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts attributable to forward points and changes in the time value of option contracts was released to income statement.

The total net fair value of hedges related to transaction exposure as of December 31, 2021, was an unrealized liability of EUR 27 million. The estimated impact of a 10% increase of value of the EUR is estimated to be EUR 137 million. The following table contains an overview of the instantaneous 10% increase in the value of EUR against major currencies.

USD | 71 | 78
JPY | 17 | 13
GBP | 15 | 14
CHF | 6 | 5
PLN | 8 | 3
RUB | 8 | 10

The EUR 137 million increase includes a gain of EUR 17 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 119 million would be recognized in equity to the extent that the cash flow hedges were effective.

Foreign exchange exposure also arises as a result of inter-company loans and deposits. Where the company enters into such arrangements, the financing is generally provided in the functional currency of the subsidiary entity. The currency of the company’s external funding and liquid assets is matched with the required financing of subsidiaries, either directly through external foreign currency loans and deposits, or synthetically by using foreign exchange derivatives, including cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. In certain cases where group companies may also have external foreign currency debt or liquid assets, these exposures are also hedged through the use of foreign exchange derivatives. Changes in the fair value of hedges related to this exposure are recognized within financial income and expenses in the statements of income. When such loans would be considered part of the net investment in the subsidiary, net investment hedging would be applied.

Translation exposure of foreign-currency equity invested in consolidated entities is generally not hedged. If a hedge is entered into, it is accounted for as a net investment hedge. Net current-period change, before tax, of the currency translation reserve of EUR 1,078 million mainly relates to the development of the USD versus the EUR. At December 31, 2021, a weakening of USD by 10% versus the EUR would result in a decrease in the currency translation reserve in equity of approximately EUR 1,132 million, while a strengthening of USD by 10% versus the EUR would result in an increase in the currency translation reserve in equity of approximately EUR 1,383 million. Refer to the country risk paragraph for countries with significant foreign currency denominated equity invested.

As of December 31, 2021, cross-currency interest rate swaps for a nominal value of USD 500 million (liability at fair value: EUR 116 million) and external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 1,473 million (liability at book value: EUR 1,313 million) were designated as net investment hedges of our financing investments in foreign operations for an equal amount. During 2021 a total gain of EUR 1.1 million was recognized in the income statement as ineffectiveness on net investment hedges, arising from counterparty and own credit risk.

The total net fair value of financing derivatives as of December 31, 2021, was a liability of EUR 116 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 40 million in the value of the derivatives, including a EUR 40 million increase related to the USD.

As of December 31, 2020, cross-currency interest rate swaps for a nominal value of USD 500 million (liability at fair value: EUR 83 million) and external bond funding for a nominal value of USD 1,473 million (liability at book value: EUR 1,210 million) were designated as net investment hedges of our financing investments in foreign operations for an equal amount. During 2020 a total gain of EUR 0.2 million was recognized in the income statement as ineffectiveness on net investment hedges, arising from counterparty and own credit risk.

The total net fair value of financing derivatives as of December 31, 2020, was a liability of EUR 83 million. An instantaneous 10% increase in the value of the EUR against all currencies would lead to an increase of EUR 53 million in the value of the derivatives, including a EUR 86 million increase related to the USD.

Philips does not currently hedge the foreign exchange exposure arising from equity interests in non-functional-currency investments in associates and other non-current financial assets.

#### Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Philips had, at year-end, outstanding debt of EUR 6,980 million (2020: EUR 6,934 million), which constitutes an inherent interest rate risk with potential negative impact on financial results. At year-end, Philips held EUR 2,303 million in cash and cash equivalents (2020: EUR 3,226 million), and had total long-term debt of EUR 6,473 million (2020: EUR 5,705 million) and total short-term debt of EUR 506 million (2020: EUR 1,229 million) At December 31, 2021, Philips had a ratio of fixed-rate long-term debt to total outstanding debt of approximately 90% compared to 79% one year earlier. Philips debt has a long maturity profile with an average tenor of long-term debt of 6.0 years with maturities up to 2042.

The following table provides the impact of a 1% increase/decrease of interest rates on the fair value of the debt and the annualized net interest expenses.

Global regulators and central banks have been driving international efforts to reform key benchmark interest rates (Interbank Offered Rate or IBOR rates). The market has transitioned to alternative risk-free reference rates (RFRs) that are transaction-based. LIBOR has been discontinued for most currencies and maturities after December 31, 2021, except for the US-dollar for which certain maturities are expected to be phased out in 2023. The company has evaluated the implications of such a phase out. The Company has no interest rate hedging relationships which get affected by the reform and do not expect any significant impact on existing contracts due to change in the interest rates. The Company implemented new alternative risk free rates from January 1, 2022 and the impact due to such change in interest rates based on outstanding positions as of December 31, 2021 is booked in income statement during the year 2022 amounting to EUR 1 million loss approximately.

#### Equity price risk

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

Philips is a shareholder in some publicly listed companies and as a result is exposed to potential financial loss through movements in their share prices. The aggregate equity price exposure in such financial assets amounted to approximately EUR 67 million at December 31, 2021 (2020: EUR 17 million). Philips does not hold derivatives in the above-mentioned listed companies. Philips also has shareholdings in several privately-owned companies amounting to EUR 210 million, mainly consisting of minority stakes in companies in various industries. As a result, Philips is exposed to potential value adjustments.

#### Commodity price risk

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

Philips is a purchaser of certain base metals, precious metals and energy. Philips may hedge certain commodity price risks using derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by commodity price volatility. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, Philips did not have any significant outstanding financial commodity derivatives.

#### Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognized at the reporting date, if counterparties failed completely to perform their payment obligations as contracted. Credit risk is present within Philips trade receivables and contract assets. To have better insights into the credit exposures, Philips performs ongoing evaluations of the financial and non-financial condition of its customers and adjusts credit limits when appropriate. In instances where the creditworthiness of a customer is determined not to be sufficient to grant the credit limit required, there are a number of mitigation tools that can be utilized to close the gap, including reducing payment terms, cash on delivery, pre-payments and pledges on assets.

Philips invests available cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions and is exposed to credit risk with these counterparties. Philips is also exposed to credit risks in the event of non-performance by financial institutions with respect to financial derivative instruments. Philips actively manages concentration risk and on a daily basis measures the potential loss under certain stress scenarios, should a financial institution default. These worst-case scenario losses are monitored and limited by the company.

The company does not enter into any financial derivative instruments to protect against default by financial institutions. However, where possible the company requires all financial institutions with which it deals in derivative transactions to complete legally enforceable netting agreements under an International Swap Dealers Association master agreement or otherwise prior to trading, and whenever possible, to have a strong credit rating. Philips also regularly monitors the development of the credit risk of its financial counterparties. Wherever possible, cash is invested and financial transactions are concluded with financial institutions with strong credit ratings or with governments or government-backed institutions.

The following table shows the number of financial institutions with credit rating A- and above with which Philips has cash at hand and short-term deposits above EUR 10 million as of December 31, 2021.

Philips Group

Credit risk with number of counterparties

A- rated bank counterparties | 1 | 2 |
| 4 | 7 |

For an overview of the overall maximum credit exposure related to debt instruments, derivatives and loans and receivables, refer to Fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

#### Country risk

Country risk is the risk that political, legal, or economic developments in a single country could adversely impact 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, 2021, the company had country risk exposure of EUR 13.8 billion in the United States, EUR 1.3 billion in China (including Hong Kong). Other countries higher than EUR 500 million are United Kingdom EUR 799 million, Japan EUR 664 million, The Netherlands EUR 595 million, and Germany EUR 569 million. Other country which have significant exposure is India EUR 305 million. The degree of risk of a country is taken into account when new investments are considered. The company does not, however, use financial derivative instruments to hedge country risk.

The impact of hyperinflation is also routinely assessed and was not material for the periods presented.

#### Other insurable risks

Philips is covered for a broad range of losses by global insurance policies in the areas of property damage/ business interruption, general and product liability, transport, directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practice liability, crime and cybersecurity. The counterparty risk related to the insurance companies participating in the above-mentioned global insurance policies is actively managed. As a rule, Philips only selects insurance companies with a financial strength of at least A-. Throughout the year the counterparty risk is monitored on a regular basis.

To lower exposures and to avoid potential losses, Philips has a global Risk Engineering program in place. The main focus of this program is on property damage and business interruption risks including company interdependencies. Regular on-site assessments take place at Philips locations and business-critical suppliers by risk engineers of the insurer in order to provide an accurate assessment of the potential loss and its impact. The results of these assessments are shared across the company’s stakeholders. On-site assessments are carried out against the predefined Risk Engineering standards, which are agreed between Philips and the insurers. Recommendations are made in a Risk Improvement report and are monitored centrally. This is the basis for decision-making by the local management of the business as to which recommendations will be implemented.

For all policies, deductibles are in place, which vary from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 5 million per occurrence and this variance is designed to differentiate between the existing risk categories within Philips. Above a first layer of working deductibles, Philips operates its own re-insurance captive, which during 2021 retained EUR 5 million per claim and EUR 10 million in the annual aggregate for general, product and professional liability claims.

New contracts were signed effective December 31, 2021, for the coming year, whereby the re-insurance captive retentions remained unchanged.

### 31Subsequent events

#### Vesper Medical

On January 11, 2022 Philips completed the acquisition of Vesper Medical Inc, a US-based medical technology company that develops minimally-invasive peripheral vascular devices. The acquisition is part of Philips’ Image Guide Therapy segment and expand Philips’ portfolio of diagnostic and therapeutic devices with an advanced venous stent portfolio for the treatment of deep venous disease. The upfront purchase price paid involved an amount of EUR 227 million. Due to the recent closing date, additional IFRS disclosures cannot be made until the initial accounting for the business combination, including contingent consideration, has been completed.

#### Cardiologs

On January 7, 2022 Philips completed the acquisition of Cardiologs Technologies SAS, a France-based medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac diagnostics using artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technology. The acquisition is part of the Connected Care segment. The acquisition is regarded as not material for disclosure purposes.

# 14Other information

## 14.1Reconciliation of non-IFRS information

In this Annual Report Philips presents certain financial measures when discussing Philips’ performance that are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS (‘non-IFRS’). These non-IFRS measures (also known as non-GAAP or alternative performance measures) are presented because management considers them important supplemental measures of Philips’ performance and believes that they are widely used in the industry in which Philips operates as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance and liquidity. Philips believes that an understanding of its sales performance, profitability, financial strength and funding requirements is enhanced by reporting the following non-IFRS measures:

- Comparable sales growth;
- EBITA;
- Adjusted EBITA;
- Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders;
- Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted (Adjusted EPS);
- Adjusted EBITDA;
- Free cash flow;
- Net debt : group equity ratio; and
- Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

Non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and not all companies calculate non-IFRS measures in the same manner or on a consistent basis. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies that have the same or similar names. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on the non-IFRS measures contained in this Annual Report and they should not be considered as substitutes for sales, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or other financial measures computed in accordance with IFRS.

This chapter contains the definitions of the non-IFRS measures used in this Annual Report as well as reconciliations from the most directly comparable IFRS measures. The non-IFRS measures discussed in this Annual Report are cross referenced to this chapter. These non-IFRS measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to equivalent IFRS measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

The non-IFRS financial measures presented are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS, but measures used by management to monitor the underlying performance of Philips’ business and operations and, accordingly, they have not been audited or reviewed by Philips’ external auditors.

Additionally, Philips provides forward-looking targets for comparable sales growth, adjusted EBITA margin improvement, free cash flow and organic ROIC, which are non-IFRS financial measures. Philips has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of these targets to the most directly comparable IFRS measures because certain information needed to reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS financial measures are dependent on specific items or impacts which are not yet determined, are subject to uncertainty and variability in timing and amount due to their nature, are outside of Philips’ control, or cannot be predicted, including items and impacts such as currency exchange rates, acquisitions and disposals, legal and tax gains and losses and pension settlements, charges and costs such as impairments, restructuring and acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangible assets and net capital expenditures. Accordingly, reconciliations of these non-IFRS forward looking financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Such unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation (for more information, please refer to Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale).

### Comparable sales growth

Comparable sales growth represents the period-on-period growth in sales excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. As indicated in Significant accounting policies, foreign currency sales and costs are translated into Philips’ presentation currency, the euro, at the exchange rates prevailing at the respective transaction dates. As a result of significant foreign currency sales and currency movements during the periods presented, the effects of translating foreign currency sales amounts into euros could have a material impact on the comparability of sales between periods. Therefore, these impacts are excluded when presenting comparable sales in euros by translating the foreign currency sales of the previous period and the current period into euros at the same average exchange rates. In addition, the years presented were affected by a number of acquisitions and divestments, as a result of which various activities were consolidated or deconsolidated. The effect of consolidation changes has also been excluded in arriving at the comparable sales. For the purpose of calculating comparable sales, when a previously consolidated entity is sold or control is lost, relevant sales for that entity of the corresponding prior year period are excluded. Similarly, when an entity is acquired and consolidated, relevant sales for that entity of the current year period are excluded.

Comparable sales growth is presented for the Philips Group, operating segments and geographic clusters. Philips’ believes that the presentation of comparable sales growth is meaningful for investors to evaluate the performance of Philips’ business activities over time. Comparable sales growth may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, because comparable sales growth figures are not adjusted for other effects, such as increases or decreases in prices or quantity/volume. In addition, interaction effects between currency movements and changes in consolidation are not taken into account.

### EBITA and Adjusted EBITA

The term Adjusted EBITA is used to evaluate the performance of Philips and its segments. EBITA represents Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITA represents EBITA excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.

Restructuring costs are defined as the estimated costs of initiated reorganizations, the most significant of which have been approved by the Executive Committee, and which generally involve the realignment of certain parts of the industrial and commercial organization.

Acquisition-related charges are defined as costs that are directly triggered by the acquisition of a company, such as transaction costs, purchase accounting related costs and integration-related expenses.

Other items are defined as any individual item with an income statement impact (loss or gain) that is deemed by management to be both significant and incidental to normal business activity. Other items may extend over several quarters and are not limited to the same financial year.

Philips considers the use of Adjusted EBITA appropriate as Philips uses it as a measure of segment performance and as one of its strategic drivers to increase profitability through re-allocation of its resources towards opportunities offering more consistent and higher returns. This is done with the aim of making the underlying performance of the businesses more transparent.

EBITA excludes amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets (and impairment of goodwill), which primarily relates to brand names, customer relationships and technology, as Philips believes that such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency, are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions and do not factor into its decisions on allocation of its resources across segments. Although we exclude amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets from our Adjusted EBITA measure, Philips believes that it is important for investors to understand that these acquired intangible assets contribute to revenue generation.

Philips believes Adjusted EBITA is useful to evaluate financial performance on a comparable basis over time by factoring out restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other incidental items which are not directly related to the operational performance of Philips Group or its segments.

Adjusted EBITA may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it excludes restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other incidental items and therefore does not reflect the expense associated with such items, which may be significant and have a significant effect on Philips’ net income.

Adjusted EBITA margin refers to Adjusted EBITA divided by sales expressed as a percentage.

Adjusted EBITA is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

### Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders

The term Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders represents income from continuing operations less continuing operations non-controlling interests, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs and acquisition-related charges, other items, adjustments to net finance expenses, adjustments to investments in associates and adjustments to tax expense. Shareholders refers to shareholders of Koninklijke Philips N.V.

Restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items are all defined in the EBITA and Adjusted EBITA section above.

Net finance expenses are defined as either the financial income or expense component of an individual item already identified to be excluded as part of the Adjusted income from continuing operations, fair value movements of equity investments in limited life funds recognized at fair value through profit or loss or a financial income or expense component with an income statement impact (gain or loss) that is deemed by management to be both significant and incidental to normal business activity.

The adjustments to tax expense include the tax impact of the adjustments to income from continuing operations as well as tax only adjusting items, and uses the Weighted Average Statutory Tax Rate plus any recurring tax costs or benefits.

Philips considers the use of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders appropriate as Philips uses it as the basis for the Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted, a non-IFRS measure.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it excludes certain items and therefore does not reflect the expense associated with such items, which may be significant and have a significant effect on Philips’ net income. Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. The reconciliation of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table.

### Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted is calculated by dividing the Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares (after deduction of treasury shares) outstanding during the period, as defined in Significant accounting policies, earnings per share section.

Philips considers the use of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted appropriate as it is a measure that is useful when comparing its performance to other companies in the HealthTech industry. However, it may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it uses Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders which has certain items excluded.

Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure, income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders per common share (in EUR) - diluted for the years indicated, is included in the following table.

### Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.

Philips understands that Adjusted EBITDA is broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. Philips considers Adjusted EBITDA useful when comparing its performance to other companies in the HealthTech industry. However, Adjusted EBITDA may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool because of the range of items excluded and their significance in a given reporting period. Furthermore, comparisons with other companies may be complicated due to the absence of a standardized meaning and calculation framework. Our management compensates for the limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplement IFRS results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than IFRS results alone. In addition to the limitations noted above, Adjusted EBITDA excludes items that may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in the evaluation of performance. However, we believe it is useful to exclude such items to provide a supplemental analysis of current results and trends compared to other periods. This is because certain excluded items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events. Also, the variability of such items may not relate specifically to ongoing operating results or trends and certain excluded items, while potentially recurring in future periods and may not be indicative of future results. A reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following table. Net income, for the years indicated is included in the following table. Net income is not allocated to segments as certain income and expense line items are monitored on a centralized basis, resulting in them being shown on a Philips Group level only.

### Free cash flow

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are comprised of the purchase of intangible assets, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment.

Philips discloses free cash flow as a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure, as Philips believes it is a meaningful measure to evaluate the performance of its business activities over time. Philips understands that free cash flow is broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing its performance. Philips also believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the cash generated by the Philips operations after deducting cash outflows for purchases of intangible assets, capitalization of product development, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment. Therefore, the measure gives an indication of the long-term cash generating ability of the business. In addition, because free cash flow is not impacted by purchases or sales of businesses and investments, it is generally less volatile than the total of net cash provided by (used for) operating activities and net cash provided by (used for) investing activities.

Free cash flow may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as free cash flow is not a measure of cash generated by operations available exclusively for discretionary expenditures and Philips requires funds in addition to those required for capital expenditures for a wide variety of non-discretionary expenditures, such as payments on outstanding debt, dividend payments or other investing and financing activities. In addition, free cash flow does not reflect cash payments that may be required in future for costs already incurred, such as restructuring costs.

### Net debt : group equity ratio

Net debt : group equity ratio is presented to express the financial strength of Philips. Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Group equity is defined as the sum of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests. This measure is used by Philips Treasury management and investment analysts to evaluate financial strength and funding requirements. This measure may be subject to limitations because cash and cash equivalents are used for various purposes, not only debt repayment. The net debt calculation deducts all cash and cash equivalents whereas these items are not necessarily available exclusively for debt repayment at any given time.

### Organic Return on Invested Capital

Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is defined as organic return which includes income from operations for the year excluding the impact of: Income or Loss from operations of businesses acquired in the five year period prior to the measurement date; certain tax gains and losses determined by management to be material in nature and require separate disclosure and; certain other items; and tax effects of the other adjustments (calculated at group effective tax rate) divided by average of the Net operating capital at the end of each of the five quarters ending on the relevant measurement date excluding the average net operating capital at the end of each of the five quarters ending on the relevant measurement date of the businesses acquired in the five year period prior to the measurement date, expressed as a percentage.

Net operating capital is defined as tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets, including goodwill, inventories and receivable balances, minus payable balances and provisions, all as further defined below. Net operating capital is also adjusted to exclude assets and liabilities of businesses acquired in the five year period prior to the relevant measurement date. Organic ROIC is calculated after taxes.

Other items are defined as material in nature and require separate disclosure and have the same nature as the items excluded from Adjusted EBITA. In the years 2019-2021 these other items included legal provisions, pension settlements and results of divestments. Refer to Net income, Income from operations (EBIT) and Adjusted EBITA within Results of operations section of Financial performance.

The term Organic Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is used by management to evaluate Philips’ efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments and how well the company uses capital to generate returns. Philips believes that Organic ROIC provides useful information to investors because it excludes the impact of recently acquired businesses, giving a more accurate representation of how the Philips Business System is leveraged to drive operational excellence and removes irregularity caused by various operating models of recently acquired businesses. Philips also believes that excluding certain items determined by management to be material in nature and requiring separate disclosure enhances comparability across several periods. Organic ROIC may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool for investors, as it excludes Income or Loss from operations of acquired businesses and tax gains and losses and certain other items, which may have a significant effect on ROIC. Organic ROIC is not a recognized measure of financial performance under IFRS.

The most comparable IFRS measure to Organic ROIC is Return on total assets, calculated as Income from operations for the year divided by total assets as of the end of the year. Return on total assets as of the balance sheet date for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 is included in the following table.

## 14.2Other Key Performance Indicators

In addition to monitoring the IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures discussed under Financial performance, Philips’ management also uses the following other key performance indicators to monitor the performance of the business and to manage the business. Comparative results have been restated to reflect the treatment of the Domestic Appliances business as a discontinued operation (for more information, please refer to Discontinued operations and assets classified as held for sale).

Comparable order intake | 6% | 9% | 4%

1)We have expanded the definition of our Closing the Loop practices to include all professional medical equipment in 2021. Complete figures are not available for 2019 and 2020.

Lives Improved
The purpose of Philips is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation and we aim to improve the lives of 2 billion people a year by 2025, including 300 million in underserved communities, rising to 2.5 billion and 400 million respectively by 2030. We use Lives Improved as a measurement of our societal impact. In the course of 2021 we changed the definition of ‘lives improved’ (effective January 2021) to align more closely with our purpose. The new definition includes only products or solutions that contribute to people’s health and well-being, and no longer includes the contribution from our Green Products and Solutions that support a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, as we discontinued our Domestic Appliances business, we have removed the impact of this business from the Lives Improved results. The combined impact of these changes resulted in an overall drop of 223 million lives improved in 2021. We calculate Lives Improved as the number of individual interactions for each product sold (based on market intelligence and statistical data) and multiply by the number of those products delivered in a year (eliminating double counting for multiple different product touches per individual). See Improving people’s lives for more information on Lives Improved.

Operational Carbon Footprint
We aim to minimize our environmental impact and we use the Operational Carbon Footprint as one of the measurements of our impact. We define Operational Carbon Footprint as the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person; expressed in kilotonnes CO2-equivalent. We calculate our Operational Carbon Footprint on a monthly basis and include industrial sites (manufacturing and assembly sites), non-industrial sites (offices, warehouses, IT centers and R&D facilities), business travel (lease and rental cars and airplane travel) and logistics (air, sea and road transport) See Sustainable Operations for more information on our Operational Carbon Footprint.

Circular Revenues
As a company committed to the transition to a circular economy, we aim to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. We define Circular Revenues as revenues generated through products and solutions that meet specific Circular Economy requirements (including performance and access-based business models, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured products and systems, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured components, upgrades or refurbishment on site or remote, and products with a recycled plastics content of >25% post-consumer recycled plastics or >30% post-industrial/postconsumer recycled plastics by total weight of eligible plastics). We calculate Circular Revenues as annual revenues attributable to products and solutions that meet the Circular Economy requirements.

Waste to Landfill
At Philips, as a responsible company, we strive to reduce our environmental impact. We define Waste to Landfill as total waste that is delivered for landfill and exclude one-time-only waste and waste delivered to landfill due to regulatory requirements. We calculate Waste to Landfill in kilotonnes per year. See Sustainable Operations for more information on Waste to Landfill.

Closing the Loop
At Philips, we are committed to offer a trade-in on all our professional medical equipment and to take care of responsible repurposing of such trade-in systems. We call this “Closing the Loop”. We calculate Closing the Loop as Process Adherence (%) * Reclaim (%). Process adherence (%) is defined as the % of won Replacement Philips deals which are associated with a trade in request in our CRM system. Reclaim (%) is defined as the % of won Replacement Philips deals with a customer accepted trade in request in our CRM system and a repurposing strategy that fulfills our reclaim requirements.

Philips believes that the five other key performance indicators described above (Lives Improved, Operational Carbon Footprint, Circular Revenues, Waste to Landfill and Closing the Loop) provide important information to investors and are important to understanding the long-term performance and prospects of the business. In addition, these other key performance indicators are also used for management compensation purposes. Members of the Board of Management are eligible for grants of performance shares under the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan, and the vesting of the performance shares is subject to performance over a period of 3 years and based on certain criteria, including a 10% weighting for Sustainability Objectives, which Philips defines as the five other key performance indicators described above: Lives Improved, Carbon Footprint, Circular Revenues, Waste to Landfill and Closing the Loop. Philips believes that including these other key performance indicators in our remuneration policy encourages management to act responsibly and sustainably, supporting the company’s overall performance and enhancing the long-term value of the company. See Remuneration of the Board of Management in 2021 for more information on the Philips’ Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan.

Comparable order intake
Comparable order intake represents the period-on-period growth, expressed as a percentage, in order intake excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation. Comparable order intake is reported for equipment and software in the Diagnoses & Treatment and Connected Care businesses, and is defined as the total contractually committed value of equipment and software to be delivered within a specified timeframe, and is an approximation of expected future revenue growth in the respective businesses. Comparable order intake does not derive from the financial statements and a quantitative reconciliation is thus not provided.

Effective 2020, Philips has simplified its order intake policy by aligning horizons for all modalities to 18 months to revenue, compared to previously used delivery horizons of 6 months for Ultrasound, 12 months for Connected Care and 15 months for Diagnosis & Treatment. At the time, Philips has aligned order intake for software contracts to the same 18 months to revenue horizon, meaning that only the next 18 months conversion to revenue under the contract is recognized, compared to the full contract values recognized previously. This change eliminates major variances in order intake growth and better reflects expected revenue in the short term from order intake booked in the reporting period. Prior-year comparable order intake amounts have been restated accordingly. This realignment has not resulted in any material additional order intake recognition.

Philips uses comparable order intake as an indicator of business activity and performance. Comparable order intake is not an alternative to revenue and may be subject to limitations as an analytical tool due to differences in amount and timing between booking orders and revenue recognition. Due to divergence in practice, other companies may calculate this or a similar measure (such as order backlog) differently and therefore comparisons between companies may be complicated.

### 14.3.4New York Registry Shares

#### Fees and Charges Payable by a Holder of New York Registry Shares

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”), as the US registrar, transfer, dividend disbursement and shareholder servicing agent (“Agent”) under Philips’ New York Registry Share program (the “Program”), collects fees for the issuance, cancellation and/or transfer 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 Agent may charge shareholders a fee of up to USD 5.00 per 100 shares for the exchange of New York Registry shares for shares and vice versa, for certain free distributions of shares and for shares issued upon exercise of rights, as well as for certain taxes, fees and expenses incurred in connection with issuances and cancellations. The Agent is also permitted to charge a distribution fee of USD 0.05 per share to holders of New York Registry Shares in connection with a corporate action or event unless certain fees are otherwise charged to Philips.

#### Fees and Payments made by the Agent to Philips

The Agent has agreed to reimburse certain expenses of Philips related to the Program and incurred by Philips in connection with the Program. The Agent has also agreed to waive certain fees for standard costs associated with the administration of the program.

## 14.4Definitions and abbreviations

#### Brominated flame retardants (BFR)

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

#### CO2-equivalent

CO2-equivalent or carbon dioxide equivalent is a quantity that describes, for a given mixture and amount of greenhouse gas, the amount of CO2 that would have the same global warming potential (GWP), when measured over a specified timescale (generally 100 years).

#### Circular economy

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

#### Circular Revenues

Circular Revenues are defined by revenues generated through products and solutions that meet specific Circular Economy requirements. These include performance and access-based business models, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured products and systems, refurbished, reconditioned and remanufactured components, upgrades or refurbishment on site or remote, and products with a recycled plastics content of >25% post-consumer recycled plastics or >30% post-industrial/post-consumer recycled plastics by total weight of eligible plastics.

#### Dividend yield

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

#### Employee Engagement Index (EEI)

The Employee Engagement Index (EEI) is the single measure of the overall level of employee engagement at Philips. It is a combination of perceptions and attitudes related to employee satisfaction, commitment and advocacy.

#### Energy-using Products (EuP)

An energy-using product is a product that uses, generates, transfers or measures energy (electricity, gas, fossil fuel). Examples include boilers, computers, televisions, transformers, industrial fans and industrial furnaces.

#### Full-time equivalent employee (FTE)

Full-time equivalent is a way to measure a worker’s involvement in a project. An FTE of 1.0 means that the person is equivalent to a full-time worker, while an FTE of 0.5 signals that the worker works half-time.

#### Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a network-based organization that pioneered the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. GRI is committed to the framework’s continuous improvement and application worldwide. GRI’s core goals include the mainstreaming of disclosure on environmental, social and governance performance.

#### Green/EcoDesigned Innovation

Green/EcoDesigned Innovation comprises all R&D activities directly contributing to the intended development of Green/EcoDesigned Products or Green/EcoDesigned Technologies. Innovation projects are characterized as Green/EcoDesigned based on the innovation brief; this designation is not revised during the project lifetime.

#### Green/EcoDesigned Products

Green/EcoDesigned Products offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more Green Focal Areas: Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Circularity, and Lifetime reliability. The life cycle approach is used to determine a product’s overall environmental improvement. It calculates the environmental impact of a product over its total life cycle (raw materials, manufacturing, product use and disposal). Green/EcoDesigned Products need to prove leadership in at least one Green Focal Area compared to industry standards, which is defined by a segment-specific peer group. This is done either by outperforming reference products (which can be a competitor or predecessor product in the particular product family) by at least 10%, by outperforming product-specific eco-requirements or by being awarded with a recognized eco-performance label. Because of different product portfolios, business segments have specified additional criteria for Green/EcoDesigned Products, including product specific minimum requirements where relevant.

#### Green/EcoDesigned Revenues

Green/EcoDesigned Revenues are generated through products and solutions which offer a significant environmental improvement in one or more of the Green Focal Areas: Energy efficiency, Packaging, Hazardous substances, Weight, Circularity, and Lifetime reliability. Green/EcoDesigned Revenues are determined by classifying the environmental impact of the product or solution over its total life cycle. Philips uses Green/EcoDesigned Revenues as a measure of social and economic performance in addition to its environmental results. The use of this measure may be subject to limitations as it does not have a standardized meaning and similar measures could be determined differently by other companies. A product or solution that has been determined to contribute to Green/EcoDesigned Revenues will continue to do so until it is decommissioned.

#### Growth geographies

Growth geographies are the developing geographies comprising of Asia Pacific (excluding Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand), Latin America, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Turkey (excluding Israel) and Africa.

#### Hazardous substances

Hazardous substances are generally defined as substances posing imminent and substantial danger to public health and welfare or the environment.

#### Income from operations (EBIT)

Income from operations as reported on the IFRS consolidated statement of income. The term EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) has the same meaning as Income from operations.

#### Income from continuing operations

Income from continuing operations as reported on the IFRS consolidated statement of income, which is net income from continuing operations, or net income excluding discontinued operations.

#### Lean

The basic insight of Lean thinking is that if every person is trained to identify wasted time and effort in their own job and to better work together to improve processes by eliminating such waste, the resulting enterprise will deliver more value at less expense.

#### Lives improved by Philips

To calculate how many lives we are improving, market intelligence and statistical data on the number of people touched by the products contributing to the social or ecological dimension over the lifetime of a product are multiplied by the number of those products delivered in a year. After elimination of double counts – multiple different product touches per individual are only counted once – the number of lives improved by our innovative solutions is calculated.

#### Long-term strategic partnership

Multi-year contractual agreement that represents a partnership to enable long-term collaboration.

#### Market/Market Group

A Market consists of one or more countries operating as a single organization under a Market Leader. Our 17 Market organizations are organized in three market groups: North America, Greater China and International Markets.

#### Mature geographies

Mature geographies are the highly developed markets comprising of Western Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.

#### Net Promoter Score

Net Promoter Score®, or NPS®, measures customer experience and predicts business growth. NPS is calculated by taking the answer to a key question on a 0-10 scale: How likely is it that you would recommend [brand] to a friend or colleague?
Respondents are grouped as follows:
• Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying and refer others, fueling growth.
• Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitive offerings.
• Detractors (score 0-6) are unhappy customers who can damage the brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
Subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters yields the Net Promoter Score, which can range from a low of -100 (if every customer is a Detractor) to a high of 100 (if every customer is a Promoter).

#### Operational carbon footprint

A carbon footprint is the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person; usually expressed in kilotonnes CO2-equivalent. Philips' operational carbon footprint is calculated on a half-year 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) and logistics (air, sea and road transport).

#### Philips Lighting/Signify

#### VOC

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility.

#### Voluntary turnover

Voluntary turnover covers all employees who resigned of their own volition.

#### Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is the European Community directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment setting collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods.

#### Weighted Average Statutory Tax Rate (WASTR)

The reconciliation of the effective tax rate is based on the applicable statutory tax rate, which is a weighted average of all applicable jurisdictions. This weighted average statutory tax rate (WASTR) is the aggregation of the result before tax multiplied by the applicable statutory tax rate without adjustment for losses, divided by the group result before tax.
