Quarterly report
Q3 2024
Philips delivers strong margin improvement; flat comparable sales due to
further deteriorated demand in China; growth in rest of world
Amsterdam, October 28, 2024
Third-quarter highlights
- Group sales amounted to EUR 4.4 billion, with flat comparable sales growth
- Income from operations was EUR 337 million
- Adjusted EBITA margin increased by 160 basis points from 10.2% to 11.8% of sales
- Operating cashflow of EUR 192 million, with a free cashflow of EUR 22 million
- Comparable order intake decreased by 2%, due to decline in China
- Outlook for full-year 2024 revised to reflect deteriorated demand in China: comparable sales growth within an updated range 0.5%-1.5%, Adjusted EBITA margin at around 11.5%, the upper end of current range; free cashflow at around EUR 0.9 billion, at lower end of current range
Roy Jakobs, CEO of Royal Philips:
“In the quarter, demand from hospitals and consumers in China further deteriorated, while we continue to see solid growth in other regions. We have adjusted our full-year sales outlook to reflect the continued impact from China.
Strong improvement in profitability was driven by progress on our execution priorities, productivity measures and the improved margins of our AI-driven, industry-leading innovations.
Within a challenging macro environment, we remain focused on successfully executing our three-year plan to fully capture growth and margin expansion opportunities. With patient safety as our number one priority, we are committed to delivering better care for more people."
Group and segment performance
Group comparable sales were flat on the back of 11% growth in Q3 2023 and deterioration in demand in China. We delivered growth in all other regions and from an increase in royalty income. China remains a fundamentally attractive growth market for Philips in the long term, with market conditions expected to remain uncertain.
Adjusted EBITA margin improved 160 basis points from 10.2% to 11.8%, driven by a strong step-up in gross margin from innovations, productivity actions and higher royalty income. Free cash flow was EUR 22 million in the quarter, driven by higher earnings, offset by working capital outflows.
Comparable order intake in the quarter declined 2% due to China, with solid order intake growth in Diagnosis & Treatment, particularly in the US. Year-to-date comparable order intake grew 1%, including China.
Diagnosis & Treatment comparable sales decreased 1%, on the back of 14% growth in Q3 2023, with solid growth outside of China. Adjusted EBITA margin was 12.6%.
Connected Care comparable sales were flat, with growth in Enterprise Informatics and Sleep & Respiratory Care offset by a low-single-digit decline in Monitoring, on the back of high-teens growth in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITA margin improved from 3.7% to 7.3%.
Personal Health comparable sales decreased 5% due to a double-digit decline in China, more than offsetting a robust performance elsewhere. Adjusted EBITA margin was 16.5%.
Productivity
Our productivity initiatives are on track and delivered savings of EUR 188 million in Q3: operating model savings of EUR 54 million, procurement savings of EUR 58 million, and other programs savings of EUR 76 million. Since 2023, productivity initiatives delivered savings of over EUR 1.5 billion.
Outlook
The significant deterioration in China demand leads to an updated comparable sales growth outlook range of 0.5-1.5% for the full year 2024. Comparable sales growth outside of China remains within the 3-5% range. Adjusted EBITA margin is expected to be around 11.5%, the upper end of the range, with free cashflow around EUR 0.9 billion, at the lower end of the range.
Within an ongoing challenging macro environment, Philips remains focused on successfully executing its three-year plan to drive operational improvement and create value with sustainable impact. The uncertainties signaled in earlier quarters have intensified in China and are expected to continue.
The outlook excludes the potential impact of the ongoing Philips Respironics-related legal proceedings, including the investigation by the US Department of Justice.
Customer, innovation and ESG highlights
- Philips expanded its next-generation cardiovascular ultrasound platform with FDA clearance of two additional AI algorithms to enhance structural heart disease examinations as part of the global rollout of this technology.
- Philips secured FDA approval for its new LumiGuide Navigation Wire, which uses fiber optic technology to reduce radiation for both patients and physicians during minimally invasive surgery.
- Carilion Clinic in the US will expand cardiac care access through 11 specialized Philips interventional suites that allow physicians to treat patients with complex cardiovascular conditions closer to home using platforms including the Azurion Image Guided Therapy System and EPIQ CVx cardiology ultrasound system with AI capabilities.
- NYU Langone Health in the US successfully implemented Philips' digital pathology solutions as part of an eight-year partnership, enabling patients to be diagnosed faster using real-time digital images instead of microscopes.
- Siloam Hospital Group, Indonesia’s largest private hospital network serving close to 4 million patients a year, is partnering with Philips for digital health and AI transformation. The collaboration aims to improve healthcare access and enhance clinical outcomes, delivering better care for more people in one of the fastest-growing G20 nations.
- Supporting China in expanding access to care in a new private hospital in Zhangzhou serving half a million patients each year, Philips will be the sole provider of MR, image-guided therapy and ultrasound technologies, enabling high-quality care for patients.
- Philips launched the AI-powered Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor, which offers cry translation and SenseIQ technology to track sleep, breathing, and movements, giving parents peace of mind.
- Philips is collaborating with customers worldwide to help them assess and mitigate their carbon footprints, including Jackson Health System in the US, Rennes University Hospital in France, and Champalimaud Foundation in Portugal.
Conference call and audio webcast
Roy Jakobs, CEO, and Charlotte Hanneman, CFO, will host a conference call for investors and analysts at 10:00 am CET today to discuss the results. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available on the Philips Investor Relations website and can be accessed here.

Forward-looking statements and other important information
Forward-looking statements
This document and the related oral presentation, including responses to questions following the presentation, contain 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. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements made about strategy, estimates of sales growth, future Adjusted EBITA *), future restructuring and acquisition related charges and other costs, future developments in Philips’ organic business and the completion of acquisitions and divestments. 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 keep pace with the changing health technology environment; macro-economic 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; Philips’ 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; breaches of cybersecurity; challenges in simplifying our organization and our ways of working; the resilience of our supply chain; attracting and retaining personnel; challenges in driving 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 including privacy and upcoming ESG disclosure and due diligence requirements; treasury and financing risks; tax risks; reliability of internal controls, financial reporting and management process; and global inflation. As a result, Philips’ actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause future results to differ from such forward-looking statements, see also the Risk management chapter included in the Annual Report 2023. Reference is also made to section Risk management in the Philips semi-annual report 2024.
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, as well as industry and dealer panels, in combination with management estimates.

Market Abuse Regulation
This press release contains inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
Use of non-IFRS information
In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial
position, operating results and cash flows, management uses
certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial
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
financial 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. Further information on non-IFRS
measures can be found in the Annual Report 2023.
Presentation
All amounts are in millions of euros unless otherwise stated.
Due to rounding, amounts may not add up precisely to totals
provided. All reported data is unaudited. Financial reporting is
in accordance with the accounting policies as stated in the
Annual Report 2023. Prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation; this
includes immaterial organizational changes.
Effective Q1 2024, Philips has revised the order intake policy to
reflect the full contract value for software contracts that start
generating revenue within an 18-month horizon, instead of
only the next 18-months-to-revenue horizon. This change has
been implemented to better align with the specific business
model of our software businesses, simplify the order intake
process, and better align with peers. Prior-period comparable
order intake percentages have been restated accordingly. This
revision has not resulted in any material changes to the order
intake percentages for the periods presented.
Per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all
periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares in the
second quarter of 2024 in connection with the 2023 share
dividend.
