Royal Philips NV Chief Executive Officer Frans Van Houten discusses the company’s financial results, strategy and outlook. The Amsterdam-based maker of medical gear lowered its sales guidance as inflationary pressures and supply chain troubles led it to miss earnings estimates in the second quarter.
