2020年，飞利浦家用电器业务在厨房、咖啡、服装护理和家庭护理设备方面的销售额为22亿欧元，占飞利浦总销售额192亿欧元的一部分。该许可协议每年支付约7亿欧元的净现值，总交易价值约为44亿欧元。根据惯例成交条件，该交易预计将于2021年第三季度完成。飞利浦和家用电器将签订独家品牌许可协议，使用飞利浦品牌和飞利浦其他一些家用电器品牌在全球制造、销售和营销，为期15年，根据品牌许可协议的条款可续订。这将使飞利浦从2021年第一季度(1 ~ 3月)开始的财务报表中，将家用电器业务列为停产业务，最大限度地减少新冠疫情造成的财务损失。皇家飞利浦首席执行官Frans van Houten表示:“我很高兴高瓴资本为家电业务找到了一个新的家，以进一步扩大其市场领导地位、强大的品牌和创新管道。”这项始于2020年1月的交易，延续了飞利浦作为一家医疗技术公司的重点，此前该公司最近收购了医疗数据管理公司，但保留了个人健康业务。范豪登表示:“这笔交易结束了我们的重大资产剥离。”“展望未来，我们的重点是扩大我们在健康技术方面的领导地位，并继续转型为一家解决方案公司，支持专业医疗客户实现四重目标和消费者的个人健康。”van Houten表示，这包括价值32亿欧元的个人健康业务，通过在口腔保健、个人护理和母婴护理等领域的消费者驱动产品和解决方案创新，作为综合健康连续体方法的一部分。 “We look forward to joining forces with Philips to expand into new markets and capture more growth opportunities globally,” said Lei Zhang, Founder and CEO of Hillhouse Capital. “We are aligned with Philips’ mission to bring high quality products to support healthy and fulfilling lifestyles for consumers across the globe.” The domestic appliance business has 7000 staff and operates in 100 countries. The headquarters will remain in the Netherlands, says Zhang. “I am convinced that together with Hillhouse Capital’s deep e-commerce, supply chain and digital expertise, we will be in a great position to continue bringing meaningful innovations to the consumer’s homes,” said Henk de Jong, CEO of Philips Domestic Appliances. “Based on our market leading product portfolio, broad customer and consumer base and R&D capabilities, we are keen to keep supporting families and individuals to lead healthier and happier lives. We look forward to working with Hillhouse to capture additional growth opportunities.” Hillhouse is backed by US universities including Yale, Stanford and Princeton and has strong links in China with investments in Tencent and JD.com, but has also invested in an organic baby food and snack manufacturer called Little Freddie, a Californian craft beer maker and a pet food brand.https://www.philips.com
