We believe that the recent performance of both companies demonstrates that the fundamentals are in place for long-term profitable growth and that Philips Lighting is well positioned for success as a stand-alone company.

Market

Philips Lighting is active in the general lighting market ⁷ . The estimated sales of the general lighting market were € 65.6 billion in 2014, and annual sales are forecasted to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 3% up to 2020 reaching approximately € 79.8 billion by 2020 ⁸ . The general lighting market is currently undergoing a rapid transformation, mainly driven by three underlying trends:

(i) Increasing need for light : the growth in the overall demand for light is driven by key macro trends: (1) the expected increase in the world’s population, (2) the expected increase in urbanization of the world’s population and (3) the expected increase in wealth, especially in emerging markets.

(ii) Increasing demand for more energy efficient light : the increasing global demand for light in the context of resource constraints and climate change has created a need for increased energy efficiency of lighting products. Lighting currently represents approximately 20% of global electricity consumption and the lighting industry will need to adapt to changing environmental regulations and CO2 emission reduction requirements globally. The key benefits of LED over conventional lighting technologies are lower energy consumption and a longer lifespan.

(iii) Increasing demand for digital lighting : the integration of LED technology, lighting controls and software allows for new functionalities and services which enable customers to benefit from new applications. The cloud and networks are creating a new market that can be defined as digital light, connected lighting systems or smart systems. The lighting systems market is expected to grow from € 3.2 billion in 2014 to € 7.0 billion in 2020, representing a 14% CAGR over the same period ⁸ .

Strengths

Philips Lighting has global leading positions across the lighting value chain

The Company firmly believes that its global leadership provides it with a competitive advantage that will allow it to benefit from future growth opportunities. The Company’s size and positioning across the value chain provide significant economies of scale, including procurement advantages, and allow the ongoing development of innovative technologies, products and services across the value chain.

7 The general lighting market comprises the following four categories: (i) lamps (which include both point and linear lamps), (ii) electronics, (iii) professional (which includes professional luminaires, systems and services for professional end-customers including offices, retail, industry, governments), and (iv) consumer (which includes consumer luminaires and lighting systems for consumer use in the home).

LOGO

Strong global brand and well established global sales channels

The Company believes that the strength of its brand drives sales as lighting customers spend up to 60-70% share of wallet ⁹ with their preferred brand. In addition to its strong brand, Philips Lighting has a global sales and distribution channel across approximately 180 countries with more than 70 sales offices, which it believes would be difficult for a competitor to replicate. The size of the Company’s operations and its geographic reach ensure global coverage while maintaining local proximity to its customers.

Leading innovation capabilities drive fundamental change in the lighting industry and fuel Philips Lighting’s growth

Philips Lighting has pioneered many of the key breakthroughs in lighting over the past 125 years, including incandescent lighting, HID lamps, fluorescent lighting and CFL, and has been a driving force behind several technological transitions, laying the foundation for its current strengths and its leading position in the transition of the lighting industry from conventional lighting technologies to LED lighting technologies as well as lighting systems (including connected lighting systems) and services.

Strong track record of cost savings drives profitability and cash generation

Historic cost savings have focused on footprint rationalization, bill-of-material costs, and productivity and efficiency improvements:

●

The Company has reduced the number of its conventional lamps operational manufacturing plants from 45 in 2008 to 21 as of year-end 2015 and has a clear plan to further build this number down.

●

The Company believes that its track record of realizing bill-of material cost savings from both product engineering and price negotiations in addition to its scale provide a sustainable competitive advantage versus its peers.

●

The Company has successfully realized cost savings programs with regard to overhead and other operating expenses, and believes more is still achievable.

Experienced and diverse management team is driving operational improvements and financial performance

The strength of Philips Lighting’s senior management team is demonstrated by the track record in terms of operational excellence and financial performance with gross margin improvements and significant operating expense savings having resulted in an adjusted EBITA ratio improvement from 6.4% in 2013 to 7.3% in 2015.

Strategy

Philips Lighting’s strategy is to leverage its strengths to capture the market opportunities presented in the transitioning lighting market. Philips Lighting’s market leading positions in both conventional and LED lamps and electronics provide a strong starting position to expand the LED products, systems and services business whilst further leveraging the conventional lighting business. Philips Lighting has identified six key strategic priorities to achieve its objectives:

Optimize cash from conventional products to fund its growth

Philips Lighting’s conventional business has historically been and currently remains the greatest contributor to cash flow generation. The Company aims to leverage its conventional business and to continue managing this business for cash optimisation. In order to achieve this, Philips Lighting has identified two key focus areas: (i) continue consolidating the industry in a declining market by capturing volumes from smaller players exiting the market, and (ii) continue to exert cost leadership by downscaling the manufacturing footprint and leveraging our procurement scale.

Innovate in LED products commercially and technologically to outgrow the market

BG LED, BG Professional and BG Home strive for continued innovation in LED lighting products and tailored marketing approaches in order to outgrow the market.

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

Philips Lighting believes that connected lighting will be increasingly important in the general lighting market. Accordingly, the Company plans to play a leading role in the industry shift to lighting systems in both the professional (BG Professional) and consumer (BG Home) markets. Philips Lighting strives to create the largest installed base of connected light points.

Capture adjacent value through new services business models

In BG Professional, Philips Lighting seeks to realize additional revenues from its installed base through value added service offerings. In order to capture this value opportunity, Philips Lighting focuses on developing capabilities around data analytics and software, and developing new data-enabled life cycle, professional and managed services.

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

Philips Lighting aims to utilize its long-standing local customer relations and global distribution network in conventional lamps and lamp electronics to lead the transition to LED lighting, systems and services. The Company’s global reach and client proximity allow it to deliver product portfolios that address local market needs with both high volume products and differentiating propositions.

Accelerate! on its operational excellence improvement journey

Philips Lighting has a strong track record of improving margins through footprint rationalization, bill-of-material cost savings, and productivity and efficiency improvements, despite declining volumes in conventional products and price pressure in primarily LED lamps. Philips Lighting will continue to focus on operational excellence and has initiated various cost saving and improvement programs to continue optimizing costs, including selling expense savings, IT rationalization and other internal overhead savings.

LOGO

Outlook

Philips Lighting has established the medium and long term objectives ¹⁰ set forth below to serve as measures of its operational and managerial performance on a Company-wide and at the level of each Business Group ¹¹ .

Philips Lighting is targeting the following for the purpose of measuring operational and managerial performance on a Company-wide level:

●

Return to positive comparable sales growth ¹² in the course of 2016 with comparable sales growth converging to the growth of the general lighting market in the medium term, driven by an increasing contribution of LED lamps, luminaires and systems and services, versus a diminishing proportion of conventional lighting.

●

Maintain broadly constant adjusted gross margin ¹³ in line with historical performance over the medium term, in which the transition to higher margin LED luminaires and systems is expected to offset the transition to lower margin LED lamps.

●

Gradually improve the adjusted EBITA ratio ¹⁴ to the low teens in the medium term, driven by significant non-manufacturing cost savings.

●

Incur annual total restructuring costs of between approximately 1.5% and 2.0% of Philips Lighting’s annual total sales in each financial year over the medium term, with the majority of these restructuring costs expected to relate to BG Lamps and BG Professional.

●

Incur annual total restructuring costs of between approximately 0.5% and 1.0% of Philips Lighting’s annual total sales in each financial year over the long term.

●

Make net capital expenditures ¹⁵ as a percentage of sales of 1.0% to 1.5% in each financial year over the medium term, driven by the transition to a more asset-light outsourcing model; and

●

Achieve strong cash flow, with free cash flow excluding interest and taxes divided by EBITDA increasing to >75% in the medium term.

For the purpose of measuring operational and managerial performance at the level of each Business Group, Philips Lighting is targeting the following:

●

BG Lamps:

^¡

Achieve comparable sales development in line with the conventional lamps market development in the medium term;

^¡

Maintain adjusted EBITA ratio over the medium term, driven by pro-active restructuring and cost savings;

¹⁰ Philips Lighting has not defined by reference to specific periods the terms “medium term” or “long term”, and the financial objectives above are not to be read as indicating that the Company is targeting or expecting such metrics in respect of any particular financial year.

¹¹ The Company’s ability to achieve these financial objectives is subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and have been developed based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions and conditions that are subject to change. As a result, the Company’s actual results may vary from the financial objectives set forth, and those variations may be material. The Company does not undertake to publish revised financial objectives to reflect events or circumstances existing or arising after the date of the IPO or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances.

¹² Philips Lighting defines comparable sales growth as the period on comparable prior year period growth in sales excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation.

¹³ Philips Lighting defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other significant incidental charges attributable to cost of sales.

¹⁴ Philips Lighting defines adjusted EBITA ratio as adjusted EBITA divided by sales (including intersegment sales for BGs). Adjusted EBITA ratio outlook reflects the annual royalty payment to Royal Philips under the contractual separation arrangements between Philips Lighting and Royal Philips.

¹⁵ Philips Lighting defines net capital expenditures as additions of intangible assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment.

LOGO

^¡

Incur total restructuring costs in relation to BG Lamps of approximately € 0.3 billion over the medium term, primarily in relation to manufacturing footprint rationalization and restructuring of R&D and sales activities;

^¡

Philips Lighting currently does not expect to have to restructure the remaining BG Lamps production facilities over the long term. However, if Philips Lighting were to decide to restructure all remaining BG Lamps production facilities, it estimates that additional restructuring costs would amount to approximately € 0.2 billion; and

^¡

Maintain constant free cash flow (including restructuring costs) as a percentage of sales over the medium term.

●

BG LED:

^¡

Achieve comparable sales growth slightly above the market growth in the medium term; and

^¡

Achieve gradual increase of adjusted EBITA ratio to the low teens in the medium term, driven by operating leverage as a result of rapidly growing volumes and capitalizing Philips Lighting’s brand strength.

●

BG Professional:

^¡

Achieve comparable sales growth slightly above the growth of the market for professional lighting in the medium term, driven by the fast growth of systems and services sales; and

^¡

Achieve gradual increase of adjusted EBITA ratio to the low to mid-teens in the medium term, driven by further performance improvements in North America and an improved product mix through increased sales of LED luminaires, systems and services which have a higher average gross margin.

●

BG Home:

^¡

Achieve comparable sales growth above the growth of the consumer luminaires market in the medium term, driven by a turnaround of consumer luminaires business and double-digit home systems growth; and

^¡

Return to positive adjusted EBITA in the course of 2017.

●

Other ¹⁶ :

^¡

Incur annual unallocated Company costs in line with 2015 for the medium term.

Capital structure and dividend policy

Philips Lighting expects to have approximately € 1,250 million of gross financial indebtedness upon completion of the Offering, and will also have an undrawn revolving credit facility for a maximum amount of € 500 million. The Company is expected to have approximately € 300 million of cash at the time of IPO and a net financial indebtedness to 2015 EBITDA ratio at the time of IPO of approximately 1.5x ¹⁷ , with the ability to reduce leverage over time.

Philips Lighting is targeting an annual dividend pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of continuing net income ¹⁸ to be paid out in cash. The Company expects to make its first dividend payment in 2017, which will be based on the results over the full year 2016.

¹⁶ Other includes certain costs, not reflected in the financial results of the Business Groups, relating to centralized shared services with respect to, among other functions, legal, finance, human resources, business transformation, strategy and marketing, innovation and operations.

¹⁷ Philips Lighting realised EBITDA of € 646 million for the year ended 31 December 2015. The ratio assumes approximately € 300 million of cash on balance sheet post completion of the Offering.

¹⁸ Continuing net income is defined as recurring net income from continuing operations, or net income excluding discontinued operations and excluding material non-recurring items.

Forward-looking statements involve all matters that are not historical facts.

The forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events and trends that affect the Company’s future performance, taking into account all information currently available to the Company, and are not necessarily indicative or guarantees of future performance and results. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the Company or are within the Company’s

In addition, the forward-looking estimates and forecasts reproduced in this document from third-party reports could prove to be inaccurate. A number of important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of risks and uncertainties facing the Company, and its subsidiaries. Investors or potential investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this document. In light of the possible changes to the Company’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations, the forward-looking events described in this document may not occur. Additional risks currently not known to the Company or that the Company has not considered material as of the date of this document could also cause the forward-looking events discussed in this document not to occur. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no duty to and will not necessarily update any of the forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events, except to the extent required by applicable law.
