TomTom’s Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn
“We have started the year strongly with results which are ahead of expectations and we launched important new products for all of our business units.
In particular, the Cardio GPS sports watch, with its built in heart rate monitor, has received encouraging early order levels from customers.
I am especially pleased to see the progress made in Telematics where we saw an accelerating growth in our WEBFLEET subscriber base and in recurring revenue in the first quarter.”
Outlook 2014
Given our first quarter results and because of the one-off tax settlement, which contributed €0.04 of earnings per share, we are updating our full year outlook for 2014. We now expect revenue of at least €900 million and adjusted1 earnings per share of around €0.25, which includes the one-off tax settlement of €0.04 in Q1 '14.
We also re-iterate that we expect our gross margin to stay strong, we will maintain tight control on operating costs, and we expect capital investments of more than €100 million. We expect to increase our net cash position for the year as a whole.
Financial and business review3
Group revenue for the quarter was €205 million, a 2% increase compared to revenue of €202 million in Q1 '13. The year on year growth in revenue came from the strong increase in Telematics revenue partly offset by a decline in Licensing revenue.
Consumer
Consumer revenue for the quarter was €125 million, an increase of 1% compared to €124 million in the same quarter last year. Revenue increased year on year due to higher PND revenue in EMEA and higher sports revenue. Automotive hardware revenue (now included in Consumer) was €20 million in Q1 '14 (Q1 '13: €22 million).
The PND market size in Europe4 was 1.6 million units in the first quarter, 12% lower compared to Q1 '13. Our European market share for the quarter was estimated at around 52%, up by two percentage points compared to Q1 '13. The PND market size in North America during Q1 '14 was 0.8 million units, 24% lower compared to Q1 '13. We estimate our North American market share for the first quarter at around 19%. Following a successful rollout in Europe in 2013, our latest generation of PNDs was introduced in North America at the end of the quarter.
We continued our commitment to innovate in the sports watch product category in Q1 '14. We launched the TomTom Runner and Multi-Sport Cardio GPS sport watches. These models have a built-in heart rate monitor, which eliminates the need for a separate chest strap and provides easy use of heart rate training during workouts. We also introduced the TomTom MySports mobile app, which wirelessly connects with our sports watches for the upload of key workout performance information. The mobile app also automatically downloads the latest QuickGPSFix satellite data, enabling users of our sports watches to start a run faster.
We expanded our product offering for the B2B market with the launch of TomTom BRIDGE. TomTom BRIDGE is a programmable driver terminal, which enables seamless integration of TomTom technology with customised business applications to help businesses, who manage a fleet of vehicles, to move and work their fleets more efficiently. TomTom BRIDGE offers the flexibility to create own applications for specific business needs and is available with different models that also include our WEBFLEET solution in Telematics.
Automotive
Automotive revenue for the quarter was €29 million (Q1 '13: €29 million).
We extended our long-standing partnership with Fiat Chrysler Automotive to provide a fully integrated navigation system for the Alfa Romeo MiTo MY 2014 model and the entire family of FIAT 500L models. TomTom is delivering advanced navigation software for the Uconnect™ 5” Radio NAV featuring TomTom’s IQ routes and digital maps.
We expanded our real-time traffic service to China, Taiwan and Singapore. Our traffic service is now available in 36 countries in North and South America, Europe, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Licensing
Licensing revenue for the quarter was €26 million, which is €3.6 million lower than in Q1 '13. The year on year decrease mainly resulted from the phasing out of a major contract in the first half of last year.
In the first quarter, TomTom entered into a strategic partnership with worldwide indoor mapping leader, Micello Inc. adding indoor venues to our current range of mapping products. With this partnership, TomTom customers are now able to develop apps and location-based services, which help users to navigate with ease both in and out of the car.
Telematics
TomTom renamed its Business Solutions business unit to Telematics in March 2014. The new name reflects our focus on Telematics Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

Change percentages are based on non-rounded figures
Telematics generated revenue of €25 million in the quarter, which represents 29% growth year on year (Q1 '13: €19 million). This revenue increase was driven by strong growth in the WEBFLEET subscriber base and the related recurring revenue. The acquired Spanish business Coordina also contributed well. The recurring SaaS revenue amounted to €17 million for the quarter, 35% higher compared to Q1 '13. At the end of the quarter, Telematics reported an installed base of 348,000 active subscribers, which is an increase of 38% compared to the first quarter of last year.
In Q1 '14, Telematics launched LINK200, an entry-level track and trace product that can help small businesses take advantage of connected car technology. The device plugs directly into a vehicle’s on-board diagnostic system (OBD) port, allowing for self-installation by customers, which eliminates installation charges. LINK200 is offered on a rental basis as part of the newly introduced WEBFLEET Lite subscription and reflects Telematics’ introduction of bundled hardware and software rental models.
Telematics strengthened its product offering by entering into a partnership with Zebra Technologies, a global printing, barcode and radio frequency identification (RFID) specialist. This partnership will add additional fleet management data and mobile printing, such as receipts, invoices and barcodes on RFID labels, through our recently introduced LINK.connect API. This API allows third parties and integrators to connect additional in-vehicle devices and sensors via the new Bluetooth interface of Telematics LINK boxes.
Hardware and Content & Services revenue split5
Hardware revenue for the quarter was €106 million compared to €101 million in Q1 '13. Content & Services revenue in the quarter was €99 million, 1% lower compared to Q1 '13, mainly due to lower Licensing revenue. As a percentage of revenue, Content & Services revenue accounted for 48% of total revenue in Q1 '14.
Gross margin
The gross margin for the quarter was 57.1%, which is 1.3 percentage points higher compared to 55.8% in Q1 '13. The year on year increase was mainly due to higher margins on certain hardware products partly due to the strengthening of the euro against the US dollar.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the quarter were €116 million (Q1 '13: €112 million). The increase in operating expenses reflects an increase in R&D expenses and amortisation of technology and databases, offset by slightly lower marketing expenses. The year on year increase in R&D expenses results from an amendment to the level of subsidies claimed against R&D personnel costs.
Financial income and expenses
The net interest charge for the quarter was €1.0 million versus an interest charge of €1.1 million in Q1 '13. The other financial result primarily comprises of foreign exchange losses of €1.2 million (Q1 '13: loss of €1.0 million).
Income tax
The net income tax gain for the quarter was €8.1 million versus a net income tax expense of €0.4 million in Q1 '13. The income tax gain in the current quarter was caused by a release of a tax provision following the finalisation of an overseas tax audit. Excluding the impact of the tax settlement the normalised effective tax rate (ETR) for the quarter was close to nil versus an ETR of 21.4% in Q1 '13. The lower ETR reflects benefits from tax incentives, which are made available for companies with significant research and development activities in the Netherlands.
Net result and adjusted¹ EPS
The net result for the quarter was €7.6 million, of which €8.1 million reflects the above-mentioned tax settlement (Q1 '13: €2.2 million loss). The adjusted1 EPS for Q1 '14 was €0.08, of which €0.04 relates to the above-mentioned tax settlement.
Balance sheet
Trade receivables at the end of the quarter equalled €110 million compared to €115 million at the end of Q4 '13. Inventory at the end of Q1 '14 was €46 million, €4 million higher compared to Q4 '13. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from €258 million at the end of Q4 '13 to €219 million at the end of Q1 '14.
At the end of Q1 '14 the carrying value of our outstanding borrowings was €174 million (Q4 '13: €173 million). The nominal amount of the outstanding borrowings excluding transaction costs was €175 million (Q4 '13: €175 million).
Current liabilities excluding deferred revenue were €333 million at the end of Q1 '14 (Q4 '13: €383 million). The quarter on quarter decrease was mainly driven by lower trade payables, tax and social securities and other accruals in Q1 '14. Trade payables amounted to €74 million,
€8 million lower compared to Q4 '13. Tax and social securities decreased by €9 million mainly due to the release of an income tax provision following the finalisation of the aforementioned overseas tax audit. Other liabilities and accruals at the end of the quarter equalled €131 million versus €174 million at the end of Q4 '13. The main reason for this decrease related to the settlement of sales related accruals and employee incentive plans, in some cases in a different quarter than last year.
Deferred revenue for the quarter ended at €109 million (Q4 '13: €114 million). The decrease is mainly related to the timing of payments for some Licensing contracts.
At the end of the first quarter, we had a net cash position of €44 million. Net cash is the sum of the cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period (€219 million) minus the outstanding gross borrowings (€175 million).
Cash flow
For the quarter the net cash used in operating activities was €15 million versus a cash inflow of €92 million in Q1 '13. The cash from operating activities in Q1 '13 included a refund of €70 million from the €80 million tax settlement agreed upon with the Dutch Tax Authorities in 2012. Adjusted for this impact, the year on year decrease was mainly driven by a seasonal shift of working capital utilisation in Q1 '14.
The cash flow used in investing activities during the quarter increased by €3 million year on year to €24 million (Q1 '13: €21 million). The majority of the investments related to our new Map production platform, the Navigation engine NavKit and Customer specific investments in Automotive.
