Frans van Houten, President and CEO of Royal Philips Electronics
“Finding a solution for our Television business was our top priority and we strongly believe that the intended 30% / 70% joint venture
with TPV that was announced today will enable a return to profitability for the Television business, and an increased portfolio focus for
Philips in health and well-being. Philips has been active in the TV industry for many decades and the long-term strategic partnership
with TPV shows our commitment to the continuity of Philips televisions for our consumers and trade partners.
The joint venture leverages the innovation and brand strength of Philips with the scale and manufacturing strength of TPV. Philips will
receive a deferred purchase price and brand license income as part of the agreement. We expect certain costs in relation to the
separation which will impact short-term earnings.
In the first quarter of 2011, Healthcare showed mid-single-digit comparable sales growth, with particular strength in Patient Care and
Clinical Informatics. In the same period, Lighting returned to mid-single-digit growth, driven by LED. In Consumer Lifestyle, our
growth businesses grew by double digits. Comparable sales in our growth markets increased by a solid 11%.
EBITA in the first quarter improved at Healthcare, while lower earnings at Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle meant that EBITA for the
company as a whole was below the same quarter of 2010. The EBITA margin declined to 8.3%. Net income in the first quarter dropped
