Annual Report We are Signify Our purpose is to unlock the extraordinary potential of light for brighter lives and a better world. Signify is the world leader in lighting. We provide our customers with high-quality, energy efficient lighting products, systems and services. By turning light sources into data collection points, we can connect more devices, places and people through light, contributing to a safer, more productive and smarter world. Last year, we changed our legal name to Signify Innovations India Limited in India, after our parent company changed its name from Philips Lighting N.V. to Signify N.V., following the amendment of the company’s articles of association in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The choice of our new company name originates from the way light has become an intelligent language, which connects and conveys meaning. Our position as an industry leader in connected lighting for the home and professional segments makes Signify the lighting company for the Internet of Things. Therefore, we believe that our new name will further shape our company’s profile as both the world leader in lighting and the lighting company for the Internet of Things. Signify will continue to use the Philips brand for its products, the most trusted lighting brand in the world, under the existing licensing agreement with Royal Philips. Chairman's Message Dear Stakeholder, Looking back at 2018, I am very pleased with our company’s commitment to create value for our customers across all our businesses in India and the progress we have made on our objectives. Last year, we changed our name from Philips Lighting India Limited to Signify Innovations India Limited. This new name is a clear expression of our strategic vision and purpose – to unlock the extraordinary potential of light for brighter lives and a better world. The adoption of LED lighting gathered significant pace in the country during the past year, owing to declining LED prices and favorable government initiatives such as UJALA and SLNP (Streetlight National Programme). Homes, commercial and government projects across the country rapidly transitioned from conventional to LED lighting. The government of the day also implemented several streetlighting projects across the country, installing LED streetlights that offer higher energy efficiency and light output. Our strategy is delivering results We stayed focused on executing our strategic priorities and continuously shaping the transformation of the lighting industry. While the decline in conventional lighting products is ongoing, we continued to increase our market share and profitability in this segment, benefitting from our last man standing strategy. Our new LED product innovations such as Philips TBulb and Philips CeilingSecure Downlighter enabled our total LED-based sales to grow and represent 82% of our total sales. However, increasing competition in the LED segment from low priced brands from some organized and unorganized players has resulted in substantial price erosions, thereby impacting our profit margins in few categories. While your company continued to lead the industry and delivered many prestigious projects like Varanasi Ghats, smart city lighting, new age offices, retail and industrial lighting projects; our professional lighting solutions business experienced slower growth compared to the previous year, impacted by reduced government spending on account of the recent general elections. With the world around us becoming more connected, we are also innovating and exploring new services and applications of lighting for the IoT (Internet of Things) world. This year we introduced LiFi, which offers a fast internet connection through lighting, with pilot installations already underway. We also launched our Interact IoT platform that enables our professional customers to unlock the full potential of connected lighting for the IoT by delivering new insights that helps them drive operational efficiencies and take more effective decisions. This innovative technology supports your company’s strategy to deliver new data-enabled services as value expands from lighting products and systems to services. Increasing urbanization in the country also resulted in a higher demand for LED downlighters and connected lighting solutions, especially from urban homes, thereby propelling our home lighting business. Our commitment to the society Light is a fundamental need of human life, as it expels darkness and creates opportunities for people to work, study and move after sunset. As a significant part of our country’s population is still living in the dark without electric light, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs aim to enable under-served communities to have sustainable access to light. We positively impacted 57,594 lives this year with our CSR programs spread across the breadth of the country. We illuminated schools, villages and playgrounds through solar based lighting and imparted skill-based training to youth, with support from our valued project partners. On behalf of our Board of Directors and our Leadership team, I extend my appreciation to our talented employees who are committed to our company’s purpose on a daily basis. I also thank our customers for their trust and loyalty, which provides us motivation and energy to continue our leadership in the industry. Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders for their confidence in us and our strategy.

With a flick of a switch, it transforms darkness into places where people can work, learn and create. Many of us take this for granted. But 200 million Indians still do not have access to electric light. For these communities, the productive day ends at sunset. Mobility after dark is limited and simple activities like accessing sanitation can be dangerous. Children cannot study. Shops cannot do business. Emergency relief workers cannot help people. Many families who can’t obtain or afford electric light instead burn coal, wood, kerosene or candles for illumination. These fuels can be costly and dangerous - 1.5 million people die annually from using kerosene lamps, which cause fires and respiratory illnesses. Our Focus - We help to create positive change in the society by focusing our efforts in three key areas: 1. Lighting Lives 2. Lighting Entrepreneurs 3.

  • March 1, 2021 RE: PHILIPS TESTIMONY for SF 1160 for SENATE COMMERCE and CONSUMER PROTECTION FINANCE and POLICY COMMITTEE HEARING
    March 1, 2021 RE: PHILIPS TESTIMONY FOR SF 1160 FOR SENATE COMMERCE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION FINANCE AND POLICY COMMITTEE HEARING Dear Chair Dahms, Vice Chair Utke and Members of the Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection Finance and Policy Committee On behalf of Philips, I submit testimony on Minnesota SF 1160. While Philips supports this bill because it reduces barriers to telehealth in many ways, my comments today will uniquely focus on the value of telemonitoring services to enhancing Minnesotans’ healthcare. Philips believes SF 1160 is a great start, but the current language limits the use of telemonitoring to certain patients within narrowly defined parameters. This testimony highlights the following topics: Telemonitoring is an important patient care solution Telemonitoring leads to cost savings Clinicians want the use of telemonitoring Other states are mandating coverage and reimbursement for telemonitoring The medical assistance rules would prevent many patients from accessing telemonitoring Philips suggested changes to SF 1160 Background on Philips: Philips is a health technology company focused on improving people’s health and enabling better outcomes. In Minnesota, Philips employs over 400 workers with facilities in Plymouth and Maple Grove. The company has been an industry leader in transforming telehealth over the last fifteen years, providing telemonitoring solutions across a patient’s care journey, from the ICU, to the emergency room, to the patient’s home.1 We applaud any legislative effort to expand telemonitoring. Telemonitoring is an important patient care solution: Telemonitoring allows providers to continually monitor, collect and analyze a patient’s physiological data to create and manage a patient’s treatment plan.

  • Case Study: Unilever1
    CASE STUDY: UNILEVER1 1. Introduction Unilever is a British-Dutch company that operates in the market of consumer goods and sells its products in around 190 countries. Another remarkable fact is that they own more than 400 brands, what means an important diversification in both risk and the products they sell, among which there is food, personal care products and cleaning agents. In fact, twelve of these brands have sales of more than a billion euros. The importance of this multinational is reflected too in the fact 2.5 billion people use Unilever products every day, being part of their daily life. They also are responsible for the employment of 161,000 people in the different countries they operate. Finally, they believe in a sustainable business plan in which they reduce the environmental footprint and increase their positive social impact at the time they keep growing. 2. History Unilever was officially formed in 1929 by the merger of a margarine Dutch company and a British soapmaker. The margarine company of Netherlands was also a merger between the first margarine factory called in the world and another factory of the same product and from the same city, Oss, in the Netherlands. The soapmaker company revolutionized the market because it helped to a more hygienic society and the manufacturing of the product was wrapped. The name of the company is a fusion between the Dutch firm called Margarine Unie and the British firm called Lever Brothers. What Unilever did, was to expand its market locations to the American Latin and Africa. Moreover they widened the product areas to new sectors such as particular food and chemical products.

  • Global Market Leaders and Drivers Diagnostic Imaging
    Global Market Leaders and Drivers Diagnostic Imaging United States, China, Europe, Russia, Brazil and India Globally, markets for MRI, CT, general radiography and ultrasound systems will all grow strongly in the next five years. The MRI and CT markets will generally be driven by a growing preference for higher-end systems, and X-ray digitization will spur growth in general radiography systems. The United States and Western Europe are large and saturated markets where growth will come from replacement purchases of systems with higher technology, while Brazil, India, Russia and China will see strong procedural growth and purchases of new systems for facilities that previously had no diagnostic imaging system. Turkey’s market, strongly influenced by government bulk tenders, will see more irregular growth.

The ultrasound system market will be the fastest growing segment through 2016. The comparatively low prices of ultrasound systems means they will be less affected by cost-cutting measures than other modalities. The CT and nuclear medicine systems are two relatively stable segments that are experiencing shifts in product mix.
