Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Philips and certain of the plans and objectives of Philips with respect to these items (including, but not limited to, cost savings), in particular the outlook paragraph in this report.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, levels of consumer and business spending in major economies, changes in consumer tastes and preferences, changes in law, the performance of the financial markets, pension costs, the levels of marketing and promotional expenditures by Philips and its competitors, raw materials and employee costs, changes in exchange and interest rates (in particular changes in the euro and the US dollar can materially affect results), changes in tax rates and future business combinations, acquisitions or dispositions and the rate of technological changes, political and military developments in countries where Philips operates, the risk of a downturn in the semiconductor market, Philips’ ability to secure short-term profitability and invest in long-term growth in Lighting and product R&D in Medical Systems, and industry consolidation.

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

Use of non-US GAAP information

In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-US GAAP financial measures. These non-US GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent US GAAP measure(s) and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable US GAAP measure(s). A discussion of the non-US GAAP measures included in this document and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure(s) are contained in this document.

Philips reports net income of EUR 983 million in the second quarter

Philips recorded net income of EUR 983 million (EUR 0.78 per share), compared with net income of EUR 616 million (EUR 0.48 per share) in the corresponding period of 2004. The EUR 367 million increase in net income was entirely attributable to the sale of NAVTEQ shares, which yielded a non-taxable gain of EUR 753 million.

Sales amounted to EUR 7,087 million, 3% lower than in Q2 2004. The weaker US dollar and dollar-related currencies, as well as various divestments, had a downward effect of 2%. On a comparable basis, sales decreased by 1%. Solid growth at Medical Systems and Lighting was offset by declines at Semiconductors and Mobile Display Systems (MDS).

Income from operations amounted to EUR 147 million, compared to EUR 356 million in the same period of 2004.

Financial income and expenses resulted in an expense of EUR 57 million, compared with an expense of EUR 65 million in Q2 2004. Income taxes included a EUR 109 million tax gain relating to a final agreement on prior-years tax settlements.

Unconsolidated companies contributed EUR 822 million to net income; this included the gain on the sale of NAVTEQ shares. Results from unconsolidated companies in Q2 2004 amounted to EUR 430 million, including a net license gain of EUR 99 million related to InterTrust Technologies Corp. LG.Philips LCD’s contribution to net income was EUR 10 million, compared to EUR 251 million in Q2 2004.

Cash flow from operating activities was an inflow of EUR 37 million, compared to an inflow of EUR 62 million in Q2 2004. Inventories as a percentage of sales amounted to 13.3%, compared to 12.5% in Q2 2004.

Gerard Kleisterlee,
Philips’ President and CEO:

“We continue to make steady progress in implementing our strategy by delivering on our management agenda. The quarter showed growth in both the revenue and profitability of our Medical Systems business; we also announced the first acquisition in this important field. In a weak consumer retail environment, we are seeing the benefits of our Business Renewal Program in Consumer Electronics. Weakness in the technology sector, however, continued to hamper our results.”

Net income

•

Net income amounted to EUR 983 million (EUR 0.78 per share) compared to EUR 616 million (EUR 0.48 per share) in the same period last year. A EUR 392 million increase in results from unconsolidated companies was partly offset by a EUR 209 million decrease in income from operations. The former was the net effect of the sale of NAVTEQ shares and EUR 241 million lower results at LG.Philips LCD. A EUR 109 million tax gain relating to a final agreement on prior-years tax settlements also contributed to the improved net income.

Philips Group		7,280		7,087		(3	)		(1	)

Sales by sector

•		Nominal sales for the Group declined by 3% compared to Q2 2004. Adjusted for the 2% downward effect of (de)consolidations and of the US dollar and dollar-related currencies, comparable sales declined by 1%.

•		Comparable sales at Medical Systems increased by 6%. In particular, Ultrasound and Computed Tomography grew. Sales growth of 1% at Domestic Appliances and Personal Care (DAP) was driven by Oral Healthcare and Food & Beverage. A weakened consumer retail environment in Europe led to a 2% decline in comparable sales at Consumer Electronics (CE). Despite weak market demand for consumer applications, comparable sales at Lighting increased 4%. The sales decline at Semiconductors was spread across all businesses, as the cycle peaked during Q2 last year. The sales decline in Other Activities was largely due to MDS.

Income from operations by sector

•		Income from operations for Q2 2005 was a profit of EUR 147 million, compared to a profit of EUR 356 million in the corresponding period last year. Restructuring and total impairment charges amounted to EUR 33 million, compared with EUR 50 million in Q2 2004. Pension costs amounted to EUR 66 million, compared to EUR 45 million in Q2 2004.

•		Income from operations at Medical Systems improved by EUR 25 million. The increase was driven by higher sales, a better product mix and productivity improvements. Q2 2004 income from operations included a EUR 14 million impairment charge for MedQuist.

•		Income from operations at DAP amounted to EUR 44 million, or 9.5% of sales. Despite weakened retail markets, margins were maintained at the level of Q2 2004.

•		Income from operations of the operational businesses of CE was a profit of EUR 6 million, EUR 40 million better than in Q2 2004, driven by Home Entertainment Networks and lower restructuring charges. At EUR 56 million, income from operations at Licenses was EUR 31 million lower than in Q2 2004, mainly due to lower past-use income.

•		Income from operations at Lighting was EUR 15 million lower than in Q2 2004. The reduction was predominantly attributable to additional R&D for innovative products.

•		Results at Semiconductors were mainly impacted by the 6% decline in sales coupled with higher costs.

•		The investments in the global brand and higher overhead and pension costs were the main reasons for the increased losses at Unallocated.

•		A dividend of EUR 0.40 per share was paid in respect of the financial year 2004 following the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders on March 31, 2005, resulting in a total cash outflow of EUR 504 million.

•		In connection with the share repurchase program, a cash amount of EUR 248 million was used for capital reduction, while EUR 73 million was used to hedge long-term incentive and employee stock purchase programs. The EUR 750 million share repurchase program was completed at the end of Q2 2005.

•		Debt decreased by EUR 197 million, mainly due to the repayment of a short-term bond.

(CASH FLOWS CHART)

Cash flows from operating activities

•

Cash inflow from operating activities amounted to EUR 37 million, compared to an inflow of EUR 62 million in Q2 2004.

(GROSS CAPITAL EXPENDITURES CHART)

Gross capital expenditures

•		Compared to Q2 2004, gross capital expenditures were reduced by EUR 129 million, mainly at Semiconductors. Capital expenditures increased at Lighting and DAP.

•		Gross capital expenditures totaled EUR 85 million at Semiconductors and EUR 43 million at Lighting.

(INVENTORIES CHART)

Inventories

•		Inventories as a percentage of sales amounted to 13.3%, 0.8 percentage points above the level of Q2 2004.

•		Triggered by the weak consumer retail environment that became evident during the quarter, corrective actions have already been taken to reduce inventory levels.

(NET DEBT AND GROUP EQUITY CHART)

Net debt and group equity

•		During the quarter, net debt increased by EUR 174 million. Cash needed for working capital, together with the cash outflows of EUR 321 million and EUR 504 million for the share repurchase program and the dividend payment respectively, more than offset the EUR 932 million cash inflow from the sale of NAVTEQ shares.

•		Compared to Q1 2005, group equity increased by EUR 1,201 million. This increase was largely due to the net income of EUR 983 million and positive translation differences of EUR 541 million, partly offset by the EUR 321 million used for the share repurchase program.

(NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES CHART)

Employment

•		The number of employees at the end of Q2 was 159,709. Adjusted for the decrease of 99 in connection with the deconsolidation of Philips Aerospace under Corporate Investments (Other Activities), the actual decrease during Q2 was 1,049.

•		Semiconductors and Medical Systems posted an increase in the number of employees in Q2 2005. Declines at Lighting and Other Activities more than offset this increase.

•		Philips started the rollout of the Senseo coffee maker in Asian markets.

(SALES CHART)

Financial performance

•		Sales increased by 1% compared to Q2 2004, on both a nominal and comparable basis. Comparable sales growth was driven by Oral Healthcare (IntelliClean) and Food & Beverage (Senseo coffee machine and food appliances). On a regional basis, sales in Western Europe and North America declined due to a weakened consumer retail environment, while Latin America and China contributed strongly to sales growth.

•		Income from operations amounted to EUR 44 million, or 9.5% of sales. Despite weakened retail markets, margins were maintained at the level of Q2 2004.

•		The impact of the increase in advertising and promotion costs compared to Q1 2005 was not sufficient to compensate weak demand in certain markets.

•		Net operating capital decreased by EUR 17 million, mainly driven by a reduction in fixed assets and improvements in supply chain management.

(INCOME FROM OPERATIONS CHART)

Looking ahead

•		The focus will remain on launching innovative products, extending alliances and expanding retail channels into emerging markets.

•		Demand in Western Europe and North America is expected to remain weak. Retail channels appear somewhat overstocked in certain product categories.

•		Licenses’ income from operations amounted to EUR 56 million (including EUR 16 million for past use), which is EUR 31 million lower than in Q2 2004, mainly due to lower past-use income.

•		Income from operations (excluding Licenses) was EUR 6 million, an improvement of EUR 40 million on Q2 2004. The increase was mainly driven by a better performance of Home Entertainment Networks and lower restructuring charges. Restructuring charges amounted to EUR 8 million in Q2 2005 compared to EUR 18 million in Q2 2004.

(INCOME FROM OPERATIONS CHART)

Looking ahead

•		The agreement with TPV Technology Limited is expected to be closed in Q3 2005.

Management summary

•		Net income was a profit of EUR 1,100 million, compared to EUR 1,166 million in the first half of 2004.

•		Sales amounted to EUR 13,722 million, 1% lower than in the same period last year. The weaker US dollar and dollar-related currencies, together with (de)consolidation changes (mainly NAVTEQ), had a downward effect of 2%. Consequently, comparable sales were 1% higher than in the corresponding period of 2004.

•		Comparable sales grew at Medical Systems (6%), Lighting (5%), DAP (5%) and CE (2%). This growth was partially offset by weaker sales at Semiconductors and MDS.

•		Income from operations was a profit of EUR 340 million, compared to a profit of EUR 574 million in the same period last year. Restructuring and total impairment charges totaled EUR 78 million, compared to EUR 66 million in the first half of 2004. Pension costs amounted to EUR 125 million, compared to EUR 177 million in the same period last year.

•		Unconsolidated companies contributed EUR 844 million to net income, compared to EUR 887 million in the first six months of 2004. The sale of NAVTEQ shares contributed EUR 753 million to net income, while the results of LG.Philips LCD were EUR 490 million lower than in the corresponding period of last year. Q2 2004 also included a net license gain of EUR 99 million related to InterTrust Technologies Corp. and a dilution gain of EUR 156 million on Philips’ participation in Atos Origin.

Other information

Subsequent event

Philips announced on July 14, 2005 that it has sold its remaining stake of approximately 10.3 million shares in Atos Origin. The transaction will provide Philips with proceeds of approximately EUR 550 million, and will result in a non-taxable gain of approximately EUR 190 million in the third quarter.

Prior to this transaction, Philips’ holding represented 15.4% of Atos Origin’s outstanding shares. Following this transaction, Philips no longer has a stake in Atos Origin.

Outlook

We remain cautious as regards the business outlook for the immediate future. In many parts of the world, growth is slowing down. In Europe in particular, the consumer retail environment is weak, impacting our growth ambitions in the short term.

We expect that Medical Systems will continue to record solid performance improvements based on operational efficiency, innovation and a strong order intake. Defying adverse market conditions, Consumer Electronics remains on track to achieve its 4 – 4.5% profitability target by the end of the year. Despite softness in certain key markets, Lighting and DAP will continue to deliver solid performances and will grow through innovation. For Semiconductors, we do not expect to see any significant upturn in market conditions in the short term.

We will continue to focus on innovation across the group, and on products with higher margins in markets offering greater scope for growth. At the same time, we will step up our efforts to improve both our cost structure and supply chain management. We will sustain our investments in strengthening our brand, with a tightened focus to ensure maximum impact.

Philips reviews performance and growth plans of its Medical Systems business at financial analyst meeting

Wednesday, June 15, 2005

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Today at a meeting with investors and financial analysts, Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) will discuss the company’s ongoing progress in building a steadily growing Medical Systems division. Senior management from Philips Medical Systems will also highlight emerging technology trends that continue to reshape the global healthcare market, and how Philips can position itself to expand in this changing market.

Ongoing improvements in Medical Systems

“After completing a series of acquisitions, Philips Medical Systems now has a three-year record of improving financial returns. While we’ve completed integrating these acquisitions, I still see many opportunities to create more value for our shareholders and customers. We expect operational efficiency, innovation and customer support will provide us with additional margin points in a few years,” said Jouko Karvinen, president and CEO of Philips Medical Systems. “As we explore areas for further expansion – either through acquisitions or alliances – we’ll be looking for market, technology and clinical synergies with our existing activities to build an even stronger healthcare business,” Mr. Karvinen added.

In today’s meeting, senior management from Philips Medical Systems will review progress being made in areas of medical imaging like ultrasound, magnetic resonance and X-ray, while highlighting the company’s activities in healthcare IT, global services and in the high-growth Asia Pacific market. Discussions will also address how market drivers and emerging technologies will change the practice of medicine, and how Philips can help drive these trends. Minimally invasive techniques and the field of molecular medicine, for example, have the potential to extend the capabilities of medical technology beyond diagnosing conditions like heart disease and cancer, to treating and preventing such conditions.

Lighter demand expected in consumer markets in the second quarter – commitment to brand campaign maintained

The meeting will end with concluding remarks by Gerard Kleisterlee, president and CEO of Royal Philips Electronics, who will provide an update on current market conditions.

“Economic indicators around the world point to reduced growth rates. Europe in particular is suffering from a weakened consumer retail environment in the second quarter, hampering our growth ambitions in the short term. Against this background, we’re maintaining our commitment to the brand campaign, investing around EUR 75 million in the second quarter,” Mr. Kleisterlee explained.

“In our Other Activities segment, we also expect a deteriorating business performance. Philips will continue to pursue measures to boost the efficiency of its core operations, while continuing to dispose of non-core activities to achieve its medium term goals,” Mr. Kleisterlee added.

Philips to acquire healthcare IT company Stentor Inc.

Wednesday, July 06, 2005

Merger strengthens Philips’ presence in the high-growth healthcare information technology market

Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Brisbane, California – Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE:PHG, AEX:PHI) and Stentor Inc. today announced Philips will acquire Stentor, a leading provider of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) used for storing, managing and distributing digital radiology images throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities. Philips will pay approximately USD 280 million in cash for Stentor Inc. subject to receipt of regulatory approval. Stentor’s shareholders have approved the agreement and transaction.

Stentor expects 2005 sales to grow to approximately USD 50 million and 2006 sales annual growth is projected at 50 % based on the company’s unique “pay-per-study” business model, in which customers pay a fee to view, distribute and store medical images rather than purchase a PACS system. Stentor will be incorporated into the Healthcare IT business of Philips’ Medical Systems division. From its headquarters location in Brisbane, California, Stentor will become the global headquarters of Philips’ overall PACS business.

“Stentor is an exceptional company with very talented people and unique technology that will significantly strengthen our position in healthcare IT. The merger of the Stentor Radiology PACS, the number one in multiple KLAS ratings, and the Philips Cardiology PACS, the “Best Overall Cardiology PACS Vendor” in the June 2005 KLAS report, gives us exactly what we want: world-class technology already recognized and appreciated by our customers, clear and immediate synergies with our imaging business and an opportunity to leverage the Philips world-wide resources. Philips is strongly committed to the support of its current customer base and will work with these users to let them benefit from the Stentor advantages,” said Jouko Karvinen, President and CEO of Philips Medical Systems.

In commenting on the merger, Oran Muduroglu, President of Stentor, said: “In the healthcare industry, Philips is known for its high quality medical equipment and for its commitment to customers – an approach we value. We can now extend Stentor PACS outside of the radiology department and into other areas of the hospital where conditions like cancer and heart disease are treated.” Mr. Muduroglu added: “We are very excited about what this means for all of our current and future customers, as we combine our strengths in image and information management.”

Stentor’s PACS technology can transmit medical images – with full resolution 4 to 16 times faster than any competitor, and with significantly less hardware costs for hospitals. In addition, Stentor’s proven service delivery model and commitment to customer support is well aligned with Philips’ overall strategy of designing the solution around the customer and making it easy for the user to experience.

Independent consultant Ralph Reyes Senior VP of KLAS noted the following: “KLAS is an independent monitor of Healthcare IT vendor performance. Unique to KLAS is

that the Healthcare IT performance data we report on originates from only one source: the healthcare provider executive who has been personally interviewed by KLAS. Since the Stentor PACS solution captured our healthcare providers’ attention it has consistently been rated as a leading PACS solution with #1 PACS positions in KLAS Top 20 end of year reports for 2003 (global PACS category) and 2004 (large acute care PACS category). In addition, the 2005 Mid-Year KLAS HIT Top 20 industry report noted Stentor #1 with a rating of 90.55 out of a possible 100 points for the ranked PACS applications. Their consistent high performance, as measured by healthcare executives has been very impressive.”

Acquisition creates leading healthcare IT provider with global reach
By merging with Stentor, Philips – the market leader in patient monitoring systems and the second largest global manufacturer of medical diagnostic imaging and monitoring equipment – can offer hospitals and other customers a complete package of state-of-the-art medical scanners along with Stentor’s best-in-class PACS products to handle the large volumes of imaging data generated by medical scanners.

In addition, Stentor and Philips have highly complementary geographic footprints allowing for more rapid deployment of Stentor’s products into Europe and Asia, while providing Stentor’s US customers with a greater choice of medical equipment. Combined, Philips and Stentor will have PACS installed at over 1,600 healthcare institutions worldwide, and will be second largest in the global PACS market.

Philips and Stentor will continue to pursue their shared vision for healthcare IT
Both Stentor and Philips share a vision of creating a digital hospital environment with electronic health records (EHRs) that provide physicians with on-demand access to all patient data, anytime, anywhere. The healthcare IT market is attractive given that U.S. and European healthcare industries have traditionally underinvested in IT. According to an October 2003 report by the U.S. General Accounting Office, less than 10 percent of hospitals had replaced paper charts with EHR, and the U.S. Center for Medicare & Medicaid estimated that in 2004 less than five percent of U.S. healthcare spending went into IT – much lower than in financial institutions and other service industries.

In 2003, Philips embarked on its vision for healthcare IT through the launch of an alliance with Epic Systems Corporation – a specialist in IT systems for creating an EHR for sharing patient information across hospitals. By merging with Stentor, Philips will be able to equip EHRs with diagnostic quality medical images that can be viewed throughout the hospital and via the Internet.
