Discontinued operations: Other

Certain other divestments reported as discontinued operations, resulted in a net loss of EUR 27 million in 2018 (2017: a net loss of EUR 24 million; 2016: a net gain of EUR 134 million).

The main result in 2016 related to the court decision in favor of Philips in an arbitration case against Funai Electric Co., Ltd. Philips started the arbitration after it terminated the agreement to transfer the Audio, Video, Media & Accessories business to Funai following a breach of contract by Funai. As a consequence the court ordered Funai to pay EUR 144 million, which includes disbursements and interest, as compensation for damages. The amount was received in the second quarter of 2016.
