KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. /s/ G.J. Kleisterlee G.J. KLEISTERLEE (President, Chairman of the Board of Management) /s/ J.H.M. Hommen J.H.M. HOMMEN (Vice-Chairman of the Board of Management and Chief Financial Officer) [QUARTERLY REPORT LOGO] 'Safe Harbor' Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 This document contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Philips and certain of the plans and objectives of Philips with respect to these items (including, but not limited to, cost savings). By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, levels of consumer and business spending in major economies, changes in consumer tastes and preferences, changes in law, the performance of the financial markets, pension costs, the levels of marketing and promotional expenditures by Philips and its competitors, raw materials and employee costs, changes in future exchange and interest rates (in particular, changes in the euro and the US dollar can materially affect results), changes in tax rates and future business combinations, acquisitions or dispositions and the rate of technological changes. Report on the performance of the Philips Group - - all amounts in millions of euros unless otherwise stated - - the data included in this report are unaudited - - financial reporting according to US GAAP Philips reports second quarter a net profit of EUR 42 million - - Comparable sales decrease 1% - weaker currencies main cause for 18% nominal sales decline - - Income from operations a loss of EUR 26 million - - 3% sequential comparable segment revenues increase (USD) at Semiconductors, excluding Mobile Display Systems - - Medical Systems income from operations of EUR 153 million - - Strong positive contribution from unconsolidated companies - - Overhead cost reduction target of EUR 300 million surpassed The second quarter 2003 Philips recorded a net profit of EUR 42 million (a profit of EUR 0.03 per share) versus a loss of EUR 1,355 million (a loss of EUR 1.07 per share) in the same period last year. This year's quarter included special items of positive EUR 5 million, whilst last year's special items amounted to a negative EUR 1,539 million. Sales decreased by 18% over the same period last year, negatively impacted by the weakening of the US dollar and related currencies (13%), the downward effect from various divestments in 2002 (4%) and lower consumer spending. Income from operations was a loss of EUR 26 million, including EUR 84 million in net special charges (before tax), versus a profit of EUR 165 million last year, which included EUR 96 million net special gains (before tax). The overhead cost reduction program delivered EUR 338 million to-date, already surpassing by more than 10% the annual savings' target of EUR 300 million. Integration savings at Medical Systems are in line with the EUR 350 million targeted savings by year-end 2003. The overall cost reduction programs are on-track to achieve the targeted EUR 1 billion in savings by 2004. Cash flow from operating activities was a cash inflow of EUR 148 million. Inventories as percentage of sales came to another record low for a second quarter of 12.8%, compared to 13.4% last year. During the quarter the net debt position decreased by EUR 133 million to a level of EUR 5.4 billion. 1 Gerard Kleisterlee, Philips' President and CEO: "It is encouraging to see that our change program is paying off. Helped by a good contribution from unconsolidated companies and the progress of the cost reduction programs, our improvement was driven by a strong performance at Medical Systems, reflecting the progress of the integration process. Lighting and DAP were able to protect their bottom line from weaker markets. Semiconductor losses have narrowed and we remain dedicated to bring the division back to profitability in the fourth quarter. CE is suffering most from weak consumer spending, but, as our increased Brand investment illustrates, we remain equally determined here to meet our goals. Focus on cost and asset management clearly remains the best course given the fragile market conditions, while we are continuing to invest in product and marketing innovation to delight our customers." 2 Philips Group Net income in millions of euros unless otherwise stated

As was announced earlier, the resulting verdict is for approximately USD 319 million plus interest. Philips does not believe that the facts of the case or the relevant legal principles support the decision and has decided to appeal. The outcome of the appeal is not something Philips can predict and it is impossible to come to reasonable estimate of a possible future loss. Consequently, such a possible loss has not been accrued for. Outlook We expect that the Lighting and Domestic Appliances divisions will continue their solid performance throughout the year. The integration of our Medical Systems division remains on-track to achieve the performance targets for 2004 including the targeted EUR 350 million savings by year-end 2003. Consumer Electronics will manage the costs and supply chain in line with lower sales. Should low consumer confidence in major markets continue, it will have an impact on the sales of Consumer Electronics. The recovery plan for the Semiconductor division is expected to turn this division back into the black in Q4. The company will continue cost reduction initiatives, including reduction in overhead costs, and ongoing asset management programs. Currency movements may continue to impact sales and to a lesser extent net income, whilst the value of the Company's financial and pension assets remains sensitive to volatility in financial markets.

The Group financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with US GAAP, which differs in certain respects from accounting principles as required by Dutch law (Dutch GAAP). Net income determined in accordance with Dutch GAAP amounted to a loss of EUR 383 million in the first six months of 2003, compared to a loss of EUR 1,693 million in the corresponding period last year. These aggregate amounts result in basic earnings per common share of a loss of EUR 0.30 in January-June 2003 compared to a loss of EUR 1.33 last year. The difference between Dutch GAAP and US GAAP is caused by the fact that goodwill is no longer amortized under US GAAP but instead tested for impairment. 17 Consolidated balance sheets and additional ratios all amounts in millions of euros unless otherwise stated Consolidated balance sheet

Stockholders' equity determined in accordance with Dutch GAAP amounted to EUR 12,109 million as of June 30, 2003 compared to EUR 12,950 million under US GAAP.

Information also available on Internet, address: www.investor.philips.com Printed in the Netherlands 25 David Hamill to Step Down as CEO of Philips Lighting Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 5, 2003 - Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) today announced that Mr. David Hamill (45), President and CEO of Philips Lighting and member of the Group Management Committee will leave the Company as of December 31, 2003. Mr. Hamill joined Philips in 1986 and has been in charge of Philips Lighting since 2001. Since then, he has overseen three years of market share gains, industry leading EBIT performance, and best-in-class delivery time and inventory management. Mr. Hamill accepted the above role on the basis of a limited period with a view to subsequently returning to the United Kingdom to rejoin his family. He has agreed to remain with Philips for a further six months after he steps down as CEO of Philips Lighting, working closely with the Board of Management to advance the company's performance improvement program. Mr. Hamill will be succeeded by Theo van Deursen (56), currently ad-interim CEO of the Lighting Electronics business group and until recently responsible for the transition program of the Philips Components businesses. Mr. Van Deursen has enjoyed a 30-year career with Philips including roles across the Components and Lighting divisions. Previous to his special assignment with Philips Components, Mr. Van Deursen was CEO of the Automotive & Special Lighting business unit of Philips Lighting. He will take up his new position as of July 1, 2003, and has been appointed a member of the Group Management Committee as of April 1. "David Hamill has taken Philips Lighting from strength to strength and whilst we respect his decision to return to the U.K. to be with his family, we are sorry to see him leave," commented Gerard Kleisterlee, Philips' CEO. "Theo van Deursen is an excellent successor with a strong track-record in Philips, and the Lighting division in particular - the business will continue to move forward under his leadership." THEO VAN DEURSEN (56) Theo van Deursen was born on 22 May 1946 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and studied Electronics and Business Administration at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. Mr. Van Deursen joined Philips in 1973 as a Management Trainee in Purchasing. In 1976 he joined Philips Elcoma (Philips' then combined Components and Semiconductor activities) where he held various management positions in the Components businesses, including five years as an industrial director in South Korea. In 1987 he became CEO of the Magnetic Products business group within the Components division. He held this position until 1994 when he joined the Lighting division, becoming CEO of the Automotive business group, which was extended to include the Special Lighting business group in 2000. In 2002 he headed a special assignment for the strategic evaluation of the Components division, eventually overseeing the integration of the different businesses into other parts of the Company. He is currently acting as the ad interim CEO of the Lighting Electronics business group. Theo is married and has two sons.

Since then, hundreds of millions of Philishaves have been sold, an average of 700 products per hour everyday, making Philishave the number one in electric razor shaving over its 63 year history. People recognise the shape of our three-headed Philishave as Philips and can be confused by identical products in the market. We shall do everything possible to avoid that confusion so that our customers can continue to buy the quality they expect." The ruling of the Cologne Court of Appeals in Germany was in favour of Philips after the earlier decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) dated 18 June 2002 setting the standards to register shape marks.

Mr. Kleisterlee will give an overview of the roadmap towards "One Philips" where synergies between the business groups can be fully exploited. The result will be a more exciting company to work for and to do business with, a company more focused on its customers and the end consumer, and a company that can be better understood and appreciated by its investors. The Philips CEO will reiterate that the Company remains fully focused on the things management can control: cost and asset management, process improvement and customer driven innovation. The continuing difficult economic environment and declining US dollar are putting pressure on revenues, in particular in the consumer electronics and semiconductor businesses, whilst the impact of the SARS virus in Asia remains too early to gauge. At the same time, Mr. Kleisterlee will confirm that these challenges have invigorated efforts to deliver on the company's 2003 objectives, to return the Semiconductors division and the Consumer Electronics activities in the US to profitability by Q4 2003, to bring in cost savings of EUR 1 billion by year-end, and to continue to move Medical Systems towards the objective of 14% EBITA in 2004. "Our company continues to become stronger as One Philips and I am proud of the progress we have made in this respect," said Kleisterlee.

North Carolina court rules in favor of Volumetrics. Philips will file for appeal. Amsterdam, The Netherlands, June 12, 2003 - Royal Philips Electronics (AEX: PHI, NYSE: PHG) today announced that a trial judge in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (USA) has confirmed a jury verdict decided in January, 2003, against a subsidiary in the ultrasound business of Philips Medical Systems. The original verdict consisted of compensatory damages of USD 106 million and USD 45 million in punitive damages. The trial judge denied the subsidiary's motions to set aside the verdict and for a new trial and has granted the plaintiff's motion to treble the compensatory damages. The resulting verdict, in favor of Volumetrics, Inc., is for approximately USD 319 million plus interest. The trebling of damages eliminates the punitive damages verdict. The existence of this claim and the jury verdict were previously disclosed in Philips' annual report on February 11, 2003. Philips is disappointed with this decision and has decided to appeal.
