Share-based compensation

Philips’ share-based compensation is an equity-settled plan made of restricted and performance shares. The

restricted shares are subject to a three-year service condition and the performance shares include both market

and non-market-based performance conditions, in addition to athree-year service condition. These shares are

awarded to the Executive Committee and senior management.

The grant date fair value of market-based performance shares is determined through a Monte Carlo valuation

model. The grant date fair value of non-market-based performance shares and restricted shares is determined

as the share price at the grant date as participants receive notional dividends throughout the vesting period.

The costs of share-based compensation plans are revised for expected performance (non-market-based

performance shares) and forfeiture and are spread evenly over the service period.

Share-based compensation is recognized over the service period as personnel expense in the consolidated

statement of income, with a corresponding increase to equity.

The use of a valuation model to determine market-based performance share fair value requires estimates for

the expected volatility of the Philips share price and correlation among input variables.

At each reporting date, Philips calculates the expected realization of the non-market-based performance

targets and revises the expected share-based compensation expense. The cumulative effect is recorded in the

consolidated statement of income with a corresponding adjustment in equity.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or

service conditions have not been met.

The purpose of the share-based compensation plans is to align the interests of management with those of

shareholders by providing incentives to improve the company’s performance on a long-term basis, thereby

increasing shareholder value.

The company has the following plans:

performance shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on performance and service

conditions

restricted shares: rights to receive common shares in the future based on a service condition

options on its common shares

Since 2013 the Board of Management and other members of the Executive Committee are only granted

performance shares*. Performance shares as well as restricted shares can be granted to executives, certain

selected employees and new employees.

Under the terms of employee stock purchase plans established by the company in various countries,

employees are eligible to purchase a limited number of Philips shares at discounted prices through payroll

withholdings.

Share-based compensation costs were EUR 148 million (2024: EUR 104 million;2023: EUR 97 million). This

includes the employee stock purchase plan of EUR 6 million, which is not a share-based compensation that

affects equity. In the Consolidated statements of changes in equity EUR 141 million is recognized in 2025 and

represents the costs of the share-based compensation plans. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted

for forfeitures. USD-denominated performance shares, restricted shares and options are being granted only to

employees whose home country is the US.

Performance shares

The performance is measured over athree-year performance period. The performance shares have three

performance conditions: relative Total Shareholders’ Return (TSR) compared to a peer groupof 20 companies

including Philips (2024:20 companies;2023:20 companies); adjusted Earnings Per Share growth** (EPS); and a

sustainability criterion. The criterion is based on three Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as defined by the

United Nations that are included in Philips’ strategy on sustainability. The performance conditions are

weighted as follows: TSR 50%, EPS 40% and SDG 10% (applicable for 2021, 2022 and 2023 plans). As of 2024

the performance conditions are weighted as follows: TSR 40%, EPS 40% and SDG 20%.

The performance shares vest three years after the grant date. The number of performance shares that will

vest is dependent on achieving the performance conditions provided that the grantee is still employed with

the company.

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted for actual performance of adjusted EPS growth** and the

actual realization of the SDGs, since these are non-market performance conditions. It is not adjusted for non-

vesting or extra vesting of performance shares due to a relative TSR performance that differs from the

performance anticipated at the grant date, since this is a market-based performance condition.

The fair value of the performance shares is measured based on Monte Carlo simulation, which takes into

account dividend payments between the grant date and the vesting date by including reinvested dividends as

well as the market conditions expected to impact relative total shareholders’ return performance in relation

to selected peers. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the 2025 grants:

risk-free rate:1.82%

expected share price volatility:38%

The assumptions were used for these calculations only and do not necessarily represent an indication of

management’s expectation of future developments for other purposes. The company has based its volatility

assumptions on historical experience measured over a 10-year period.

A summary of the status of the company’s performance share plans as of December 31, 2025, and changes

during the year are presented in the accompanying table:

Option plans

Retention option plan

vest aftertwo years, provided that the grantee is still employed with the company.
