As of January 2008, Philips’ activities are organized on a sector basis, with each operating sector, Healthcare, Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle – being responsible for the management of its business worldwide. The Healthcare sector brings together the former Medical Systems division and Home Healthcare Solutions (formerly Consumer Healthcare Solutions) – which has been transferred from Innovation & Emerging Businesses. The former Consumer Electronics and Domestic Appliances and Personal Care divisions have been integrated in the Consumer Lifestyle sector. As a consequence of the aforementioned, prior-year financials have been restated. Prior-period Group and Healthcare financials have been revised to reflect immaterial adjustments of intercompany profit elimination on inventory (see Significant accounting policies, Reclassifications and revisions).

The following sectors are included in the table above: Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle, Lighting, Innovation & Emerging Businesses (I&EB) and Group Management & Services (GM&S). A short description of these sectors is as follows:

Healthcare: Consists of the following businesses - Imaging Systems, Clinical Care systems, Home Healthcare Solutions, Healthcare Informatics and Patient Monitoring, and Customer Services.

Consumer Lifestyle: Consists of the following businesses - Television, Shaving & Beauty, Audio & Video Multimedia, Domestic Appliances, Peripherals & Accessories, Health & Wellness, and Licenses.

Lighting: Consists of the following businesses – Lamps, Professional Luminaires, Consumer Luminaires, Lighting Electronics, Automotive, Special Lighting Applications, and Lumileds.

I&EB: Consists of various activities and businesses which mainly support, but are not allocated to, a specific sector. This includes Corporate Technologies (such as Research, Intellectual Property & Standards, Molecular Healthcare, the Healthcare, Lifestyle and Lighting & Cleantech Incubators as well as Applied Technologies), Corporate Investments, New Venture Integration, and Design.

GM&S: Consists of the corporate center, as well as the overhead expenses of regional and country organizations. Also included are the costs of Philips’ global brand campaign and pension and other postretirement benefit costs not directly allocated to the other sectors.
