Strong annual results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, Philips had a successful year with sales of EUR 18.2 billion in 2023, of which EUR 5.1 billion in the fourth quarter. The company achieved 7% growth compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roy Jakobs, CEO of Royal Philips, stressed that the strong 2023 results were due to, among other things, the three-year plan around value creation with sustainable impact. This focus is reflected in the growth of the various business segments. Notable was the performance of the Diagnosis & Treatment division, with revenue growth of 11%, driven by growth in Image Guided Therapy and Precision Diagnosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
