TomTom's Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn
“Our strategy is to build on our leading position in providing navigation technologies to business customers. We are setting our priorities for the future, strengthening support for our growing B2B products. In the quarter, combined revenue of Automotive, Licensing and Telematics grew by 18% year on year and the gross margin that we generate as a Group improved from 60% to 65%. Our Consumer segment will represent less than half of total revenue in the running year. Consumer Drive will continue to provide a valuable platform for consumer insight and collecting location data.”

Outlook 2017
We are updating our revenue guidance for the year. Due to recent reorganisation of Consumer Sports, we now expect to deliver full year revenue of around €900 million. Previous full year revenue guidance was around €925 million.

Despite lower revenue, adjusted EPS1 of around €0.25 remains unchanged.

We now expect the level of investments (CAPEX and OPEX combined) to show a marginal increase compared with 20163, excluding acquisitions and restructuring charges.

Update share buyback programme
On 19 September 2017, TomTom announced the start of its share buyback programme to repurchase ordinary TomTom shares on Euronext Amsterdam for an amount up to €50 million.

The share buyback programme will ultimately end on 29 December 2017, unless the maximum number of 5,384,450 shares has been repurchased prior to that date. TomTom will use the shares to cover its commitments arising from its stock option and share plans.

The total number of shares repurchased under this programme at the end of Q3 '17 is 663,797 shares for a total consideration of €6.1 million.4

Financial and business review
Revenue for the third quarter amounted to €218 million, 9% lower compared with the same quarter last year (Q3 '16: €239 million). Automotive, Licensing and Telematics jointly grew by 18% year on year, which was offset by lower Consumer revenue. Gross margin for the quarter equalled 65% (Q3 '16: 60%). The net result for the quarter was a loss of €5.3 million and included a one-off restructuring charge of €15.4 million related to Consumer Sports. Adjusted EPS1 in Q3 '17 was €0.08, compared with €0.05 in the same quarter last year.

Change percentages and totals calculated before rounding.

Automotive & Licensing combined revenue in the quarter was €81 million (Q3 '16: €66 million). Automotive generated revenue of €47 million in the quarter, representing a 51% increase year on year. This increase mainly came from the ramp-up of a new contract that went live last year. Licensing revenue in Q3 '17 remained flat at €34 million compared with the same quarter last year.

In the quarter, we announced that Daimler selected TomTom Maps for its Mercedes infotainment platform, in a range of the automaker’s A, C, B and E-class vehicles for the North American market. The new contract marks the strengthening of the relationship with Daimler, after the announcement of the TomTom Traffic deal for Europe, North America and Africa in March 2017.

During this year’s IAA Frankfurt, we announced that our products are now available in the Peugeot 5008 SUV, through the new generation of Peugeot i-Cockpit®, the in-vehicle infotainment and control system with TomTom navigation.

We also announced at the IAA Frankfurt that we are working with Renault on the SYMBIOZ autonomous driving programme by providing the TomTom HD Map with RoadDNA, as well as engineering support and other products and services.

In the quarter, TomTom EV Service was launched which has been developed to assist drivers in making informed decisions about when and where to charge their vehicles. The real-time availability information is sourced from market leaders in EV charging locations and then integrated with the TomTom Map. The service will initially be available in Europe, with a geo-expansion planned to North America early next year. After this expansion, TomTom EV Service will list 35,000+ charging stations with real-time availability information, globally.

Our Traffic service is now available in 68 countries, after the expansion to four new countries - Egypt, Morocco, Macau and Iceland.

We have also announced that TomTom Traffic is increasingly providing Lane-Level traffic information, a feature that is critical for Autonomous Driving. Already able to detect traffic on different lanes at junctions, TomTom Traffic can now also differentiate between traffic flow on High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) lanes and regular lanes.

Licensing announced collaborations with Sony, TripAdvisor and Michelin. TomTom Online Routing API is providing advanced routing technology to Sony, which is currently beta testing a biking navigation device (Future Lab Program N) for users in the San Francisco Bay Area. By leveraging on the geocoding capabilities of the TomTom Online Search API, TripAdvisor will be able to access TomTom’s precise global address data, capable of handling millions of requests daily. TomTom Online APIs and map data will power Michelin’s new mobile application specifically tailored for oversized vehicles called Michelin RoadConnect. The new service will employ our location technology to enable truck drivers to identify suitable routes and improve mobility.

Telematics revenue for the quarter was €39 million, 8% higher compared with the same quarter last year. The recurring subscription revenue for the quarter increased by 7% year on year to €32 million (Q3 '16: €29 million). Hardware and other services revenue increased by 10% year on year in the third quarter mainly due to a one-off service revenue. Monthly revenue per subscription decreased by 7% year on year, mainly due to a mix effect caused by growing aftermarket connected car volumes, which are priced at lower levels compared with the traditional fleet management services.

At the end of Q3 '17, Telematics reached 785,000 fleet management and connected car subscriptions. This represents a 17% year on year increase, from 671,000 subscriptions at the end of Q3 '16.

We continue to invest in our main Fleet Management Solution WEBFLEET. In the quarter, we provided access to all of our customers to the open beta version of the New WEBFLEET 2018, offering a complete new user interface.

In September, market research firm Berg Insight recognised TomTom Telematics as Europe's leading provider of fleet management solutions, for the third year running. According to its “Fleet Management in Europe” report, Telematics is currently twice as large as the second player.

Continuing on the Connected Car strategy, in Q3, we worked with LeasePlan on new Connected Car apps and gave them access to our cloud-based TomTom Telematics Services Platform.

Change percentages and totals calculated before rounding.

Consumer revenue for the quarter decreased by 29% year on year to €97 million (Q3 '16: €137 million), reflecting a decrease in both Consumer products as well as Automotive hardware revenue.

As communicated earlier this year, the wearables market has fallen short of expectations. In line with the previously announced strategic review, our Sports business has been reduced in size. We are aligning our cost base with the current market developments while we continue to sell sports products and support our customers. We reported a restructuring charge of €15.4 million in the quarter and are further evaluating our strategic options for Consumer Sports.

We will continue to develop portable navigation devices, as the Drive business will continue to provide a valuable platform for consumer insight and collecting location data.

In the quarter, TomTom BRIDGE Hub was launched, enabling customers and partners in various industries - transportation, emergency, logistics and utilities - to connect with regular smartphones and tablets (BYOD), rugged professional devices or even HDMI displays, to create enhanced connected mobility solutions.

Change percentages and totals calculated before rounding.

Data, software & services revenue in the quarter was €139 million, 15% higher compared with €121 million in Q3 '16, mainly due to increase in Automotive revenue. Data, software & services accounted for 64% of the revenue in Q3 '17 compared with 51% in Q3 '16. Hardware revenue for the quarter was €79 million, 33% lower compared with €118 million in Q3 '16.

Gross result
Our gross result decreased by 3% to €141 million in the quarter compared with €145 million in Q3 '16. Cost of sales in Q3 '17 included a one-off restructuring charge of €3.6 million related to the announced reorganisation in Consumer Sports.

The gross margin for the quarter was 65%, five percentage points higher compared with 60% in Q3 '16, reflecting the shift of revenue mix towards higher margin data, software & services revenue.

Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the quarter were €147 million, €2.8 million higher compared with €144 million in the same quarter last year. Operating expenses included a one-off restructuring charge of €11.8 million related to the announced reorganisation in Consumer Sports. Excluding this restructuring charge, operating expenses declined by €9.0 million year on year mainly due to lower marketing expenditure in the quarter.

The net result for the quarter was a loss of €5.3 million compared with a gain of €0.6 million in Q3 '16. The adjusted net result for the quarter was a gain of €19 million compared with €12 million in Q3 '16.

Adjusted EPS for the quarter was €0.08, compared with €0.05 in the same quarter last year.

Balance sheet
At the end of the quarter, trade receivables plus other receivables totalled €227 million compared with €219 million at the end of Q3 '16. The inventory level at the end of the quarter was €53 million, compared with €61 million at the end of the same quarter last year. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter were €105 million versus €129 million at the end of Q3 '16.

Current liabilities excluding deferred revenue were €271 million compared with €300 million at the end of Q3 '16.

Deferred revenue was €240 million at the end of Q3 '17, compared with €206 million at the end of the same quarter last year. The year on year increase reflects increased Automotive deferred revenue position on contracts with upfront payments for multi-year service offerings.

At 30 September 2017, we reported a net cash position of €102 million (Q3 '16: net cash of €81 million). Net cash is the sum of the cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period (€105 million) minus the nominal amount of the borrowings (€3.0 million).

Cash flow
The cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was €48 million compared with €54 million in Q3 '16, a decrease of 10%. This year on year decrease in operating cash flow was mainly driven by lower cash flows received from working capital movements versus prior year.

The cash flow used in investing activities during the quarter decreased by €3.2 million year on year to €29 million (Q3 '16: €32 million). The vast majority of our investments related to map content and various technology platforms to support growth in Automotive and Licensing.
