Dividend policy

Previous - Net income and EPS Next - Proposed distribution

Our aim is to sustainably grow our dividend over time. Philips’ present dividend policy is based on an annual pay-out ratio of 40 to 50% of continuing net income.

Continuing net income, or net income excluding material non-recurring items and discontinued operations, is the base figure used to calculate the dividend payout for the year. For 2009, the key exclusions used to arrive at continuing net income include the gains on the sale of shares in LG Display and Pace Micro Technology, non-cash value decreases in our remaining financial stakes, restructuring and the impact of settlement charges.
