TomTom Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results

From a regional perspective, 78% of 2017 revenue was generated in Europe (FY '16: 78%), 16% in North America (FY '16: 17%) and the remaining 6% in the rest of the world (FY '16: 5%).

Gross margin

The gross margin for the quarter was 59%, which is one percentage point higher compared with the same quarter last year. On a full year basis, gross margin was 62% (FY '16: 57%). At constant currency rates for the US dollar and GB pound, FY '17 gross margin and operating result would have been the same.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the quarter were €160 million, which is €6 million higher compared with the same quarter last year (Q4 '16: €154 million). The increase results from additional amortisation charges partly offset by lower personnel related cost.

On a full year basis, total operating expenses amounted to €764 million compared with €557 million in 2016, an increase of €207 million year on year. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge our operating expenses increased by €38 million. The increase resulted from restructuring charges in our Consumer business, accelerated amortisation of some customer relationships and the disposal of some technology assets.
