Philips: provides targets for 2021-25

(CercleFinance.com) - In a meeting with investors and analysts on Friday, Philips outlined its strategic targets and growth path for 2021-2025.


The Dutch group, which is now refocused on healthcare businesses, says it wants to accelerate sales growth while improving its profit margins.

On a comparable consolidation scope, its annual sales growth should therefore average between 5% and 6% over the period, with an adjusted operating (Ebitda) margin expected between 15% and 20%.

"The transformation has also led to a structurally improved growth and profitability profile of the company," said CEO Frans van Houten.

Philips also estimates that its productivity gains will lead to savings of around 2 billion euros by 2025.

However, all these projections seem to go unheard in the market, with the share down about 1% on Friday morning in Amsterdam.
