Philips cost cutting lifts profit

Written By Unknown on Senin, 21 Oktober 2013 | 15.21

ROYAL Philips NV, the world's biggest light maker, says third quarter profits rose on cost-cutting, as sales declined but margins improved.

The company has shed 4900 jobs over the past year, more than 4 per cent of its 114,300 workforce.

Net profit was 281 million euros ($A398.24 million), compared to 105 million euros in the same period a year ago.

Sales fell 3.4 per cent to 5.62 billion euros, hurt by the strong euro.

In Philips' lighting division, strong sales of LEDs and fewer charges led to a 140 million euro profit, from a 14 million loss in the same period a year ago.

But CEO Frans van Houten warned of "continuing headwinds in the global economy", which he said would affect sales in future quarters without being specific.
