Equity [abstract] |
Disclosure of equity [Text block] | ### 17Equity #### Common shares As of December 31, 2019, authorized common shares consist of 2 billion shares (December 31, 2018: 2 billion; December 31, 2017: 2 billion) and the issued and fully paid share capital consists of 896,733,721 common shares, each share having a par value of EUR 0.20 (December 31, 2018: 926,195,539; December 31, 2017: 940,909,027). #### Preference shares As a means to protect the Company and its stakeholders against an unsolicited attempt to obtain (de facto) control of the Company, the General Meeting of Shareholders in 1989 adopted amendments to the Company’s articles of association that allow the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board to issue (rights to acquire) preference shares to a third party. The ‘Stichting Preferente Aandelen Philips’ has been granted the right to acquire preference shares in the Company. Such right has not been exercised as of December 31, 2019 and no preference shares have been issued. Authorized preference shares consist of 2 billion shares as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: 2 billion; December 31, 2017: 2 billion). #### Options, restricted and performance shares The Company has granted stock options on its common shares and rights to receive common shares in the future (see Share-based compensation). #### Treasury shares In connection with the Company’s share repurchase programs (see next paragraph: Share repurchase methods for share-based compensation plans and capital reduction purposes), shares which have been repurchased and are held in Treasury for the purpose of (i) delivery upon exercise of options, restricted and performance share programs, and (ii) capital reduction, are accounted for as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Treasury shares are recorded at cost, representing the market price on the acquisition date. When issued, shares are removed from treasury shares on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. When treasury shares are reissued under the Company’s option plans, the difference between the cost and the cash received is recorded in retained earnings. When treasury shares are reissued under the Company’s share plans, the difference between the market price of the shares issued and the cost is recorded in retained earnings, the market price is recorded in capital in excess of par value.

Share purchase transactions related to employee option and share plans, as well as transactions related to the reduction of share capital, involved a cash outflow of EUR 1,376 million. A cash inflow of EUR 58 million from treasury shares mainly includes settlements of share-based compensation plans. #### Share repurchase methods for share-based compensation plans and capital reduction purposes During 2019, Royal Philips repurchased shares for share-based compensation plans and capital reduction purposes via three different methods: (i) share buy-back repurchases in the open market via an intermediary (ii) repurchase of shares via forward contracts for future delivery of shares (iii) the unwinding of call options on own shares. In 2019, Royal Philips also used methods (i) and (ii) to repurchase shares for capital reduction purposes. #### Forward share repurchase contracts In order to hedge commitments under share-based compensation plans, Philips entered into three forward contracts in the last quarter of 2018, involving 10,000,000 shares with a settlement date varying between October 2019 and November 2021 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 31.89. A total of 4,000,000 shares were acquired through forward contracts that were settled in the fourth quarter of 2019, which resulted in a EUR 130 million increase in retained earnings against treasury shares. As of December 31, 2019, 6,000,000 forward contracts connected to share-based compensation plans were outstanding. In order to reduce its share capital, Royal Philips also entered into six forward contracts in 2017. The forward contacts involved 31,020,000 shares with a settlement date varying between October 2018 and June 2019 and a weighted average forward price of EUR 32.22. In 2019, 18,600,000 forward contracts were exercised resulting in a EUR 576 million increase in Retained earnings against Treasury shares. As of December 31, 2018, 18,600,000 were outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, there were no forward contracts connected to share capital reductions outstanding. For further information on the forward contracts please refer to Debt. #### Share call options During 2016 Philips bought EUR and USD-denominated call options to hedge options granted under share-based compensation plans before 2013. In 2019, the company unwound 855,039 EUR-denominated and 642,636 USD-denominated call options against the transfer of the same number of Royal Philips shares (1,497,675 shares) and an additional EUR 30 million cash payment to the buyer of the call options. The number of outstanding EUR denominated options were 1,168,600 and USD-denominated options were 1,127,582, as of December 31, 2019. #### Dividend distribution ##### 2019 In June 2019, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 775 million including costs. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 42% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 9,079,538 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 453 million (including costs). A proposal will be submitted to the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to pay a dividend of EUR 0.85 per common share, in cash or shares at the option of the shareholders, against the net income of the Company for 2019. ##### 2018 In June 2018, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 738 million including costs. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 46% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 9,533,233 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 400 million (including costs). ##### 2017 In June 2017, Philips settled a dividend of EUR 0.80 per common share, representing a total value of EUR 742 million including costs. Shareholders could elect for a cash dividend or a share dividend. Approximately 48% of the shareholders elected for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 11,264,163 new common shares. The settlement of the cash dividend involved an amount of EUR 384 million (including costs) #### Limitations in the distribution of shareholders’ equity As at December 31, 2019, pursuant to Dutch law, certain limitations exist relating to the distribution of shareholders’ equity of EUR 1,870 million. Such limitations relate to common shares of EUR 179 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained earnings of EUR 713 million and unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 978 million. The unrealized losses related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR 303 million and unrealized losses related to cash flow hedges of EUR 24 million qualify as revaluation reserves and reduce the distributable amount due to the fact that these reserves are negative. The legal reserve required by Dutch law of EUR 713 million included under retained earnings relates to any legal or economic restrictions on the ability of affiliated companies to transfer funds to the parent company in the form of dividends. As at December 31, 2018, these limitations in distributable amounts were EUR 1,558 million and related to common shares of EUR 185 million, as well as to legal reserves required by Dutch law included under retained earnings of EUR 634 million and unrealized currency translation differences of EUR 739 million. The unrealized losses related to fair value through OCI financial assets of EUR 181 million and unrealized losses related to cash flow hedges of EUR 10 million qualify as a revaluation reserve and reduce the distributable amount due to the fact that this reserve is negative. #### Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests relate to minority stakes held by third parties in consolidated group companies. #### Capital management Philips manages capital based upon the IFRS measures, net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used for investing activities as well as the non-IFRS measure net debt*). The definition of this non-IFRS measure and a reconciliation to the IFRS measure is included below. Net debt*) is defined as the sum of long and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Group equity is defined as the sum of shareholders’ equity and non-controlling interests. This measure is used by Philips Treasury management and investment analysts to evaluate financial strength and funding requirements. The Philips net debt*) position is managed with the intention of retaining a strong investment grade credit rating. Furthermore, Philips’ aim when managing the net debt*) position is dividend stability and a pay-out ratio of 40% to 50% of Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders*) (reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, Net income, is provided at the end of this note).
