3RD QUARTERLY REPORT
OCTOBER 16, 2001

PHILIPS REPORTS LOSS OF EUR 799 MILLION IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2001
RESULT FROM UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES, LOSS OF EUR 350 MILLION

NET INCOME OF ROYAL PHILIPS ELECTRONICS IN THE THIRD QUARTER AMOUNTED TO A LOSS
OF EUR 799 MILLION (A LOSS OF EUR 0.62 PER SHARE) COMPARED TO A PROFIT OF EUR
2,066 MILLION (EUR 1.58 PER SHARE) IN THE CORRESPONDING PERIOD OF 2000.

INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES CAME TO A LOSS OF EUR 350 MILLION. INCOME
WAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY AFTER TAX CHARGES OF EUR 346 MILLION (A LOSS OF EUR
0.27 PER SHARE), EUR 125 MILLION OF WHICH WAS IN UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES. THE
THIRD QUARTER OF 2000 INCLUDED ONE-TIME GAINS OF EUR 1,295 MILLION (EUR 1.00 PER
SHARE).

EXCLUDING CHARGES, NET INCOME CAME TO A LOSS OF EUR 453 MILLION (A LOSS OF EUR
0.35 PER SHARE) COMPARED TO A PROFIT OF EUR 771 MILLION (EUR 0.58 PER SHARE),
EXCLUDING ONE-TIME GAINS, IN THE CORRESPONDING QUARTER OF LAST YEAR.

YEAR-TO-DATE NET INCOME AMOUNTED TO A LOSS OF EUR 1,463 MILLION (A LOSS OF EUR
1.14 PER SHARE) VERSUS A PROFIT OF EUR 6,810 MILLION (EUR 5.15 PER SHARE) IN
2000. NET INCOME THIS YEAR WAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY AFTER-TAX CHARGES OF
EUR 1.076 MILLION.

COMMENTING ON THE RESULTS, GERARD KLEISTERLEE, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF ROYAL
PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, SAID: "The electronics parts of our company continue to
suffer heavily from continued poor market conditions in telecom and PC-related
businesses, as do our major unconsolidated companies. Consumer confidence in all
major markets has been slipping this year, a trend that has accelerated after
the tragic events of September 11. We see continued adequate performance at our
Lighting, Domestic Appliances and Personal Care, and Medical Systems divisions,
and expect them to continue to perform well for the near future. Market
conditions require that we stay focused on managing cash flow and costs,
maintaining the high quality of our balance sheet. So far this year, we have
taken pre-tax restructuring and other (cost reduction) charges of EUR 1,027
million, and we expect to take another EUR 200-250 million in the fourth quarter
to further reduce our cost base."



CHARGES IN THE QUARTER IMPACTED NET INCOME NEGATIVELY TO AN AMOUNT OF
EUR 346 MILLION

Included in income from operations in the quarter are charges of EUR 295 million
before tax for restructurings and related cost reduction programs (EUR 122
million), charges related to the acquisition of Agilent's Healthcare Solutions
Group (EUR 113 million), and other charges (EUR 60 million). These charges are
summarized in the table below:

The positive impact on income tax of the above mentioned charges amounted to
EUR 74 million. Included in the results of Unconsolidated companies are charges
of EUR 125 million, after-tax. As a result, the after-tax negative impact of
these charges on net income amounted to EUR 346 million.

SALES in the third quarter came to EUR 7,187 million, a 23% decrease on the year
before. Changes arising from (de)consolidations had a lowering effect of 3%.
Currency fluctuations had a negative effect of 2%. Price erosion in the third
quarter was 10%, compared with 5% in the corresponding quarter of last year.
Sales volume declined by 8%.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS in the third quarter was a loss of EUR 516 million
(7.2% of sales) compared with a profit of EUR 945 million last year.

                                                                    3RD QUARTER

Income from operations                                     (516)           945




Income from operations this year included charges of EUR 295 million.

Last year's third quarter included a EUR 309 million gain related to the sale
of the Advanced Ceramics and Modules business and various charges amounting to
EUR 155 million, related to restructuring projects and provision for employee
benefits. The increase in goodwill amortization charges related to newly
acquired companies in 2000 (ADAC and Optiva) and the recent acquisition of
Agilent's Healthcare Solutions Group. The goodwill charges for the latter
included one-off charges of EUR 54 million for writeoff of in process R&D.

New accounting rules with respect to goodwill (goodwill amortization only in
case of impairment), required under US GAAP for acquisitions made after July 1,
2001, have not yet been applied, because a proposed Dutch law to that effect has
not yet been adopted.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES in the third quarter were a negative of EUR 90
million, compared to a positive of EUR 649 million last year. The difference
mainly related to a non-taxable gain of EUR 681 million from the sale of a
portion of Philips' shares in JDS Uniphase last year.

INCOME TAX CHARGES in the third quarter have been determined at a tentative rate
of 25%. This compares to 20% in last year's corresponding quarter.

Philips' RESULTS RELATING TO UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES amounted to a loss of EUR
350 million in the third quarter, versus a profit of EUR 668 million last year.

                                                                     3rd quarter

Income excluding amortization and charges amounted to a loss of EUR 109 million.

At LG.Philips Displays, strong price erosion and lower sales volumes were the
main reasons for a negative contribution of EUR 62 million.

Charges amounted to EUR 125 million, EUR 60 million of which related to the
diluting effect of issuance of new stock by TSMC, as part of an employee stock
option plan. Income of the third quarter 2000 included a non-recurring book gain
of EUR 491 million related to Philips' share of the increased equity value of
TSMC.

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles amounted to EUR 116 million
compared to EUR 44 million in the third quarter of 2000. The increase related to
Philips' shareholdings in LG.Phulips Displays and Atos Origin, including a
provisional booking of amortization of goodwill related to LG.Philips Displays.

NET INCOME for the third quarter amounted to a loss of EUR 799 million (a loss
of EUR 0.62 per share) versus a profit of EUR 2,066 million (EUR 1.58 per share)
in 2000.



SALES AND INCOME FROM OPERATIONS PER SECTOR

Sales in the LIGHTING sector totaled EUR 1,170 million, 4% down on last year.
The decrease included the negative effect of 2% caused by weaker currencies.
Volume growth was 2%, offset by a 4% price decline. Sales were 2% lower as a
result of stopping the battery business, while sales in Lamps were hampered by
weaker economic conditions in North and Latin America. Sales in Automotive
sustained strong growth.

Income from operations came to EUR 103 million, compared to EUR 125 million
last year. Profitability margins dropped from 10.2% last year to 8.8% in this
quarter as a result of ongoing price pressure and increases in energy and
logistics costs.

Sales in CONSUMER ELECTRONICS totaled EUR 2,592 million, a decrease of 18%
over the same quarter in the previous year. Currency movements had a negative
effect of 2% on nominal sales. Sales volume was 2% lower, while average prices
decreased l4%, with particularly strong price erosion in Monitors. All
regions, except Europe, posted considerable decreases in sales. Declines in
sales were most severe in VCR, Audio, Monitors, set-top boxes and mobile phones.
Sales in DVD sustained strong growth.

Income from operations in Consumer Electronics turned from a profit of EUR 98
million in 2000 to a loss of EUR 45 million. Besides lower operational
performance in North America, the decrease was also attributable to charges of
EUR 75 million for restructuring projects and other charges, the majority of
which came at Mainstream CE for the closing of VCR manufacturing in Vienna (EUR
44 million).

Sales at Mainstream CE were 13% lower than in the same quarter of the year
before. Mainstream CE reported a loss of EUR 103 million and included charges
of EUR 60 million. The region North America reported an operational loss, while
all other regions, excluding charges, made a profit.

Sales in Consumer Communications ended 50% lower than in the third quarter of
2000, as a result of our changed strategy for mobile phones.

Income at Consumer Communications came to a loss of EUR 2 million, virtually
unchanged from last year.

Sales of Digital Networks decreased due to a lower activity level of set-top
boxes in Europe.

Income from operations at Digital Networks ended the quarter at a loss of EUR
59 million, compared to a loss of EUR 17 million last year.

License income in the third quarter amounted to EUR 119 million, EUR 47 million
higher than last year. Income included EUR 82 million related to disputed CD-RW
licenses for previous years.

Sales in the DAP sector totaled EUR 488 million, unchanged from the year before.
Price erosion was stable at 2%, while sales volume declined 5%. Sales in Oral
Care developed positively with the integration of Opdva.

Income from operations increased from EUR 62 million in 2000 to EUR 67 million
this year, due to an improved product portfolio.

Sales in the COMPONENTS sector totaled EUR 456 million, a decrease of 63% over
the third quarter of 2000. Nearly half of the decrease is attributable to the
deconsolidation of Display Components. Excluding this portfolio change and the
small negative effect of



weaker currencies, sales decreased 36%. Price erosion went up to 13%, having
been 7% and 11% in the first and second quarters. Sales volume in the quarter
fell 23%. Sales in Mobile Display Systems and Optical Storage were hampered by
ongoing weakness in the cellular phone and PC-related markets.

In the third quarter, income from operations of Components came to a loss of
EUR 119 million compared to a profit of EUR 289 million last year. Last year's
income included EUR 98 million for restructuring charges and a gain of EUR 309
million related to the sale of the Advanced Ceramics and Modules business.
Income before charges ended at a loss of EUR 108 million, compared to a profit
of EUR 78 million last year.

Sales in the SEMICONDUCTORS sector came to EUR 898 million, a decrease of 43%
over the same quarter a year earlier. Price erosion increased to 14%, having
been 6% and 9% in the first and second quarters. Sales volume decreased 29%
over the same quarter last year. The sales downturn was in line with the
worldwide fall in semiconductor markets. Income from operations amounted to a
loss of EUR 291 million, compared to a profit of EUR 373 million last year.
Restructuring and related charges in the quarter amounted to EUR 20 million and
other charges for inventory obsolescence came to EUR 20 million. Ihis quarter
included an amount of EUR 17 million for insurance payments. Income was strongly
influenced by increased price erosion, and a low factory utilization of 36%.
Inventories were reduced by EUR 253 million in the quarter.

Sales in the MEDICAL SYSTEMS sector totaled EUR 1,146 million, 55% up from the
year earlier. The larger part (43%) is attributable to sales from the new
acquisitions ADAC and Agilent's Healthcare Solutions Group. Excluding
acquisitions, volume growth was 15% while prices decreased 3% on average. Order
intake in Q3 was 16% ahead of the year earlier.

Income from operations in Medical Systems came to a loss of EUR 88 million.
Income included charges of EUR 129 million, mostly for the acquisition-related
charges of Agilent's Healthcare Solutions Group (provisionally EUR 113 million),
and a charge of EUR 8 million for the relocation of the U.S. Headquarters to
Bothell, near Seattle. Income before charges amounted to a profit of EUR 41
million, compared to a profit of EUR 35 million last year. Increase in
operational performance, in particular in Magnetic Resonance, was partly offset
by an increase in amortization of goodwill and other intangibles related to new
acquisitions. On a comparable basis, amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles amounted to EUR 63 million this year, compared to EUR 29 million
in 2000.

Sales in the MISCELLANEOUS sector totaled EUR 437 million, a decrease of 39%
over the year before, including a significant negative effect of various
deconsolidations (21%). Income of Miscellaneous came to a loss of EUR 110
million and included EUR 31 million for charges, of which EUR 14 million was
related to a restructuring charge at Assembleon. Income before charges was a
loss of EUR 79 million, versus a loss of EUR 7 million in the corresponding
quarter of last year. Lower sales at ETG and Assembleon, both hampered by poor
market conditions, were the main reasons.

Income from operations in UNALLOCATED was a loss of EUR 33 million, compared to
a loss of EUR 24 million last year. Settlement of pension costs of a previously
sold subsidiary caused the variance.



CASH FLOWS AND FINANCING

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES in the third quarter amounted to a positive
of EUR 160 million, EUR 145 million lower than in the third quarter of last
year, as a result of focused working capital management.

Expressed as a percentage of sales, inventories at the end of the third quarter
came down to 14.9% compared to l6.O% three months ago.

CASH OUTFLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES in this quarter was EUR 2,029 million,
compared to an outflow of EUR 1,121 million last year. The deviation was due to
a cash inflow of EUR 722 million from the sales of JDS Uniphase shares last year
and EUR 645 million higher cash outflow this year, mainly associated with the
Agilent HSG acquisition, partly offset by EUR 470 million lower capital
expenditure. In the third quarter net capital expenditures amounted to EUR 359
million compared with EUR 829 million last year.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES was a positive EUR 1,768 million in the
third quarter, compared with EUR 1,754 million cash outflow last year. Last
year, EUR 1.7 billion was spent on the share reduction program, whilst the
remainder of the difference was mainly due to the net impact of the increasing
debt position.

The NET DEBT TO EQUITY ratio amounted to 26:74 at the end of September, compared
to 20:80 at the end of June 2001.

THE FIRST NINE MONTHS

Year-to-date NET INCOME amounted to a loss of EUR 1,463 million (a loss of EUR
1.14 per share) versus a profit of EUR 6,810 million (EUR 5.15 per share) in
2000. The first nine months of the year were negatively impacted by charges
after-tax of EUR 1,076 million (a loss of EUR 0.83 per share). Excluding
after-tax charges, net income in the first nine months came to a loss of EUR 387
million. Net income in the first nine months of 2000 included incidental gains
of EUR 4,727 million, mainly related to the sale of approximately 70% of
Philips' shares in ASM Lithography, a book gain related to Philips' share of
increased equity value of TSMC, a gain from the sale of a portion of the JDS
Uniphase shares and a gain resulting from the swap of Philips' equity in Beltone
Electronics Inc. into shares of GN Great Nordic.

SALES in the first nine months came to EUR 23,077 million, a 14% decrease on the
year before. Changes arising from (de)consolidations had a lowering effect of
2%. Currency fluctuations had a positive effect of 1%. Price erosion in the
year-to-date was 8%, compared with 5% in the corresponding period of last
year. Sales volume declined by 5% in the first nine months.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS in the first nine months was a loss of EUR 929 million (a
loss of 4.0% of sales) compared with a profit of EUR 2,332 million (8.7% of
sales) last year.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES came to a negative EUR 248 million, compared to a
positive EUR 1,086 million in the first nine months of 2000. Last year included
a special gain from the sale of a portion of the JDS Uniphase shares (EUR 681
million). Excluding this item, the unfavorable variance is mainly due to higher
interest expenses as a result of higher debt.

The market value of certain securities is currently below cost, which is
expected to be temporary. If this situation continues, however, impairment may
occur.

Philips' INCOME FROM RESULTS RELATING TO UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES amounted to a
loss of EUR 578 million in the first nine months, versus a profit of EUR 3,876
million last year.

The increase in amortization goodwill and other intangibles is related to
Philips' shareholdings in LG.Philips Displays and Atos Origin.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Philips Medical Systems announced the acquisition of Marconi's Medical Systems
business for USD 1.1 billion. This acquisition will enable Philips Medical
Systems to become a leading player in the high-technology computed tomography
scanner business and to further strengthen its magnetic resonance imaging and
nuclear medicine systems businesses.

In the fourth quarter, one-time acquisition and related charges of approximately
EUR 350 million are expected, followed by further integration costs in the first
quarter of 2002 to obtain synergies.



OUTLOOK

Unless we see a change in economic conditions, for the fourth quarter we expect
to report a break-even operating income before charges, and a positive cash flow
from operations. However, in view of continued weakness, especially in the
markets affecting our Display and LCD JV's, we expect a net loss before charges
of between EUR 200-250 million. In addition to charges related to the
acquisition of Marconi's medical business (EUR 350 million), and Agilent HSG
(EUR 75 million), there will be EUR 200-250 million charges for restructuring
and cost reductions in the fourth quarter.

Following the severe and rapid global downturn in the telecommunications and
PC-related industries, the events of September 11 make it more difficult to have
good visibility in the marketplace. Further, as a consequence of weak stock
markets, we anticipate a significant reduction of pension credits in our results
in 2002. Therefore, we will speed up cur remaining restructuring programs and
will further focus on aggressive cost management. We will reduce overhead costs
by 25%, and further reduce working capital, paying special attention to
inventories, along with tightly managing the supply chain.

We will continue to be selective with new investments, thereby ensuring the
maintenance of a strong balance sheet.
