If more than one of the assumptions were changed, the impact would not necessarily be the
same as if only one assumption changed in isolation. In 2005, pension expense for the Philips
Group is expected to amount to approximately EUR 235 million.
O
21 Postretirement benefits other than pensions
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides other postretirement benefits,
primarily retiree healthcare benefits, in certain countries.
The Company funds other postretirement benefit plans as claims are incurred.
The table below provides a summary of the changes in the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations for 2003 and 2004 and a reconciliation of the obligations to the amounts recognized
in the consolidated balance sheets.
All the postretirement benefit plans are unfunded and therefore no plan asset disclosures are
presented.
