Royal Philips priced EUR 650 million in fixed-rate notes due 2034, the first healthcare company to issue a green bond under the new European Green Bond Standard. The notes carry a 4.0% coupon and a yield of 4.055%, priced at 99.655% of par. The 7.8-year tranche drew orders 2.7 times the offer size, the company said.
Proceeds equivalent to the gross amount will fund taxonomy-aligned economic activities tied to Philips’ 2030 Impact Ambition. The issuance does not increase net debt. Gross debt will rise temporarily until the repayment of a 2027 bond maturity in May 2027, the company said.
Settlement is scheduled for Aug. 28, 2026. Philips applied to list the notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s regulated market.
Philips holds investment-grade ratings from all three major agencies: BBB+ from S&P (stable outlook), Baa1 from Moody’s (stable outlook), and BBB+ from Fitch (stable outlook). The Moody’s rating is assigned by Moody’s Investors Service, a unit of Moody’s Corporation.
The notes are not offered to retail investors in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom under respective regulations, and they are not registered under the U.S. Securities Act. The company said it does not intend to register the securities in the United States.
The bond is the first healthcare-sector issuance under the EU Green Bond Standard, which sets uniform disclosure and verification requirements for green-labelled debt. Philips’ stock carries an Alpha Score of 45 out of 100, labeled Mixed, reflecting the company’s ongoing restructuring and margin recovery efforts. The green bond adds a low-cost, long-duration funding layer that supports Philips’ environmental targets without immediate balance-sheet strain.
