TomTom’s Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn:

“We have seen a decline of the PND market against a background of a weak consumer electronics market which impacted our Consumer business. On the other hand, sales by Automotive and Business Solutions grew as did our LIVE Services revenue.

Based on the outlook for the PND market, we will reduce our cost base in the coming quarters to maintain a healthy cash flow, whilst at the same time continuing to invest to support our growing revenue lines.”

1 Operating expenses include an impairment charge of €512 million and restructuring charges of €0.2 million in Q2 2011, €1.2 million in Q2 2010 and €0.6 million in Q1 2011
2 Excluding impairment charge and related tax effects
3 Earnings per share adjusted for impairment, acquisition-related amortisation and restructuring charges on a post tax basis

Outlook 2011

Consumer electronics markets have been weak and the retail channel has continued to reduce the level of inventory it is carrying. PND markets have been declining and we expect this trend to continue in the second half of the year. We expect our core combined PND markets to decline at the high end of the previously communicated range of between 15 and 20%, particularly as a result of a steep decline in the North American market.

Automotive will continue to grow its systems business as well as its licensing business as expected.

Business Solutions is expected to accelerate its growth in the second half of the year on the back of the roll-out of new contracts and geographical expansion.

Licensing is expected to show flat revenue development compared to last year.

We plan to deliver operating expenses for 2011 of approximately €540 million.

As previously communicated we expect full year revenue of between €1,225 and €1,275 million and earnings per share of between €0.25 and €0.30, excluding impairment.

The PND market size in Europe was 2.7 million units compared to 3.0 million units in the same quarter last year. Our market share was 45%. The North American PND market size was 2.4 million units compared to 3.3 million units in the same quarter last year. Our market share was 21%.

Our base of active users of LIVE Services nearly tripled compared to Q2 2010 to 1.1 million. Compared to the same period last year, we have seen an increase in sales of LIVE devices as a percentage of total PND volume in Europe from 20% to 24%. The attachment rate, which is the percentage of customers that renew their LIVE Services subscription after the initial trial period, is increasing from the low twenties level that we have seen over the past quarters.

In the quarter Consumer introduced the GO LIVE 800 series as an addition to the GO range. We continued the geographical roll-out of our real time traffic offering and made HD Traffic available on all our LIVE devices in the US. The unique combination of HD Traffic and dynamic routing is now available in 21 countries across the globe.

Automotive extended its partnership with Fiat into the US. The Fiat 500 was introduced in the US market with the Blue&Me TomTom navigation solution offered as an option. A milestone was reached with 1 million Carminat TomTom systems sold by Renault.

Licensing expanded its map coverage in Latin America by adding Venezuela to the already covered countries of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, French Guiana and the French Overseas Territories. In the quarter we launched our real time traffic portfolio for governments and enterprises in the US, UK, France and Belgium. Our portfolio of products, including Enterprise Traffic, HD Flow and HD Route Times, is now available in 14 countries. The pipeline of opportunity for our traffic solutions is increasing.

Business Solutions announced a partnership with Tracker, South Africa's leading vehicle tracking provider. In Q2, the number of subscribers increased by 9,000 to 152,000, resulting in a year on year increase of 32%. We won significant new contracts which will be added to our subscriber base in the coming quarters.

Financial review

Revenue

The group generated €314 million of revenue for the quarter, a decrease of 13% compared to the same quarter last year (Q2 2010: €362 million) and a 19% increase sequentially (Q1 2011: €265 million). Year on year, revenue for Consumer declined which was partially offset by an increase in revenue by Automotive and Business Solutions.

The revenue of the Consumer business unit over the past quarter amounted to €209 million which is a €64 million decrease year on year (Q2 2010: €273 million) and an increase of €52 million sequentially (Q1 2011: €157 million). The year on year decrease was driven by lower PND sales as the PND market sizes in our core geographies declined in an overall weak consumer electronics market.

Automotive revenue grew by €15 million or 34% to €60 million compared to the same quarter last year (Q2 2010: €44 million). This growth was driven by increased system sales due to existing customers offering our solutions on more models, as well as by greater demand for our maps. Sequentially revenue was flat (Q1 2011: €60 million).

Licensing revenue decreased year on year by €0.8 million or 3% to €32 million and decreased by €2.3 million sequentially (Q2 2010: €33 million, Q1 2011: €34 million). The sequential decrease is the result of a one-off royalty correction of €4 million in the previous quarter. Year on year we continue to see growth from our internet and wireless segment being offset by a decline in revenue in the PND segment.

Business Solutions revenue increased by €1.5 million or 12% year on year to €14 million (Q2 2010: €12 million) driven by growth of the subscriber base. Sequentially revenue was flat (Q1 2011: €14 million).

Hardware revenue for the quarter was €218 million across the group, a decrease of 20% year on year (Q2 2010: €274 million) and an increase compared to the first quarter of 29% (Q1 2011: €169 million).

Content & Services revenue was €96 million for the quarter compared to €88 million in Q2 2010, an increase of 9%. Consumer and Automotive were the main contributors to the increase compensating for lower Licensing revenue. Sequentially, Content & Services revenue for the quarter was flat. Content & Services revenue represented 31% of total revenue (Q2 2010: 24%, Q1 2011: 36%).

Gross margin

The gross margin for the group was 51%. The gross margin was stable compared to the same quarter last year and down by 2 percentage points sequentially (Q2 2010: 51%, Q1 2011 53%). The sequential decrease was the result of a change in the revenue mix with proportionally more Consumer hardware revenue compared to our Licensing and Business Solutions revenue in the second quarter versus the first quarter.

Impairment charge

We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of €512 million. The reduction in value of intangible assets mainly reflects the reduced outlook for the PND market. Of the impairment charge, €473 million relates to goodwill and €39 million to other intangible assets.

Operating expenses

Excluding the impairment charge, total operating expenses for the quarter amounted to €142 million, an increase of €6.7 million, or 5% compared to the same quarter last year (Q2 2010: €135 million). Compared to the first quarter, operating expenses increased by €19 million or 16% (Q1 2011: €123 million).

The increase in operating expenses was the result of higher marketing expenses. Marketing expenses increased by €6 million year on year to €30 million (Q2 2010: €24 million) and by €20 million sequentially (Q1 2011: €10 million). In the quarter we launched our Break Free marketing campaign in advance of the summer driving season. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses (excluding the impairment charge) for the quarter were 45% compared to 37% in Q2 2010 and 46% in Q1 2011.

Financial results

The total interest charge for the quarter was €6.1 million (Q2 2010: €9.0 million, Q1 2011: €6.0 million). The interest expense on the loan facilities for the quarter amounted to €5.0 million. The amortisation of the transaction costs related to the facility amounted to €1.6 million. The interest expense was partially offset by interest income of €0.5 million on cash balances.

The other financial result for the quarter of €2.2 million was comprised of a foreign exchange gain mainly attributed to USD rate fluctuations during the quarter.

Debt financing

On 30 June 2011, the carrying value of our borrowings amounted to €591 million, an increase of €1.6 million compared to the previous quarter which results from amortised transaction costs which are added back to the borrowings over the life time of the borrowings (Q1 2011: €589 million). Excluding transaction costs, which are netted against the borrowings, our outstanding borrowings amounted to €598 million (Q1 2011: €598 million).

Net debt as of 30 June 2011 was €366 million compared to €309 million at the end of the previous quarter. Net debt is the sum of the borrowings (€598 million), minus cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period (€232 million) plus our financial lease commitments (€0.7 million).

Balance sheet

As at the end of Q2 2011, accounts receivable plus other receivables amounted to €248 million. Our accounts receivable balance is driven by our revenues which explains the decrease of €43 million year on year and the increase of €71 million sequentially. The inventory level was €102 million, an increase of €39 million year on year and an increase of €2.9 million compared to the previous quarter. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter were €232 million.

Current liabilities were €627 million compared to €697 million at the end of the same quarter last year and €635 million in the previous quarter. The year on year decrease was mainly caused by a decrease of €55 million in trade payables and €17 million in other liabilities and accruals. Our equity was impacted by the €512 million impairment charge and decreased by €477 million to €665 million compared to 31 December 2010.

Cash flow

During the quarter, we recorded a cash outflow from operations of €23 million which was mainly driven by the €74 million increase in working capital.

The cash flow used in investing activities during the quarter increased to €25 million from €17 million in the previous quarter (Q2 2010: €12 million), mainly due to increased investment in product development in Automotive.

Introduction

TomTom NV (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) is the world’s leading supplier of in-car location and navigation products and services. Headquartered in Amsterdam, TomTom has over 3,500 employees and sells its products in more than 40 countries. The commercial activities of the Group are carried out through four customer facing business units – Consumer, Automotive, Business Solutions and Licensing. The first three of these business units sell their navigation products and services to one specific customer group, whilst Licensing sells its content and services to multiple customer groups.

It is our mission to provide all drivers with the world's best navigation experience. We tailor our activities towards multiple audiences and aim to play a leading role on all platforms where our products and services can be of use.

Market and TomTom outlook 2011

Consumer electronics markets have deteriorated in the first half of the year and the retail channel has continued to reduce the level of inventory it is carrying. PND markets have been declining and we expect this trend to continue in the second half of the year. We expect our core combined PND markets to decline at the high end of the previously communicated range of between 15 and 20 percent, particularly as a result of a steep decline in the North American market.

Automotive will continue to grow its systems business as well as its licensing business as expected.

Business Solutions is expected to accelerate its growth in the second half of the year on the back of the roll-out of new contracts and geographical expansion.

Licensing is expected to show flat revenue development compared to last year.

We plan to deliver operating expenses for 2011 of approximately €540 million.

As previously communicated we expect full year revenue of between €1,225 and €1,275 million and earnings per share of between €0.25 and €0.30, excluding impairment.

Financial review for the six month period ended 30 June 2011

Revenues

Total revenues were €579 million in H1 2011 down from €630 million in H1 2010. The decrease is driven by the decrease in Consumer revenue and partially offset by the increase in the revenue of the other three business units. Year on year, Consumer revenue decreased by 20% to €366 million in H1 2011 while Automotive revenue increased by €36 million from €84 million in H1 2010 to €120 million in H1 2011. Licensing revenue increased by €2.6 million to €66 million (H1 2010: €63 million) and Business Solutions reported a revenue increase of €3.5 million to €28 million in H1 2011 (H1 2010: €25 million).

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased to €301 million in H1 2011 from €329 million in H1 2010. The gross margin was stable at 52% compared with H1 2010.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in H1 2011 were €777 million, an increase of €514 million compared to the same period last year (H1 2010: €263 million). This increase is mainly caused by the impairment charge of €512 million which is further explained in notes 6 and 7 in our interim financial report.

Operating result

The operating result for H1 2011 was a loss of €476 million, a decrease of €542 million compared to last year (H1 2010: €67 million).

Financial expense and income, net

The Group recorded €12 million in interest expenses in H1 2011, a decrease of €5.4 million compared to the previous year (H1 2010: €17 million). The year on year decrease was the result of the reduction in borrowings following the repayment of €210 million in the second half of 2010. The other finance result in H1 2011 of €3.9 million (H1 2010: -€0.8 million) results from our foreign exchange derivatives portfolio and the revaluation of our non-euro denominated monetary balances such as accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash balances, and interest received from tax authorities.

Income taxes (excluding effects of impairment charge)

The net income tax charge in all the jurisdictions in which we operate was €6.2 million in H1 2011, a decrease compared to last year (H1 2010: €11 million). The effective tax rate in H1 2011 was 22.4% compared to 22.5% in H1 2010.

Cash flow

Cash flow generated from operations was a negative €18 million versus a positive €59 million in the same period last year. The negative cash flow was driven by the operating result adjusted for non-cash items and by changes in our working capital. Net interest paid decreased year on year to €9.1 million in H1 2011 compared to €11 million in H1 2010. Corporate income tax paid decreased to €3.1 million from €22 million in the previous year.

Cash flow used in investing activities was €42 million, an increase of €15 million from €27 million in the same period last year.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements of TomTom NV

1. General

TomTom NV (the “Company”) has its statutory seat and headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and have been prepared by the Management Board and authorised for issue on 22 July 2011.

The consolidated interim financial statements have neither been reviewed nor audited.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies and method of computations applied in these consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except as described below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. As permitted by IAS 34, the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and the notes to these consolidated interim financial statements are presented in a condensed format. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union.

Change in accounting policies and disclosures

All IFRS standards and interpretations that were in issue but not yet effective for reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2011 have not yet been adopted.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these interim financial statements requires that the Group makes assumptions, estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters such as revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, product warranty costs, depreciation and amortisation, asset valuations, impairment assessments, taxes, earn-out provisions, other provisions, stock-based compensation and contingencies. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and the future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. For TomTom’s critical accounting estimates and judgments, reference is made to the notes to the Consolidated financial statements in the 2010 Annual Report.

3. Segment reporting

The internal management reporting is structured based primarily upon the four customer facing business units – Consumer, Automotive, Business Solutions and Licensing.

The segment reporting in these interim financial statements reflects the change in management reporting structure as presented in the 2010 annual accounts and further refinements in the allocation of operating expenses of supporting functions as adopted in the internal management report. Accordingly the comparative information for the first half of 2010 has been adjusted to reflect this change and is therefore not necessarily comparable with the previously reported segment information.

         
(in € millions)   H1 '11   H1 '10
         
Group revenue   579.4   630.3
Consumer   365.8   459.1
Automotive 119.8 83.6
Licensing 65.7 63.1
Business Solutions   28.1   24.5
         
Group EBIT   36.1   66.6
Consumer 27.2 74.6
Automotive 0.8 -2.6
Licensing 8.3 -2.2
Business Solutions 6.3 6.0
Unallocated   -6.5   -9.2

The effects of non-recurring items such as impairment (if any) are excluded from management’s measurement basis. Interest income and expenses and tax are not allocated to segments. A reconciliation of the segments’ performance measure (EBIT) to the group’s operating result is presented below.

         
(in € millions)   H1 '11   H1 '10
         
Group EBIT   36.1   66.6
Impairment charge -511.9 0
Interim financial statements EBIT   -475.8   66.6

4. Remuneration policy for members of the Management Board

This note should be read in conjunction with note 7 Employee Benefits in the Annual Report for 2010. In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, remuneration for the Management Board consists of four components: base-salary, short-term incentive, long-term incentive and pension. The long-term incentive component is set out in the 2009 Stock Option Plan as amended following the 2011 AGM. In May 2011, each of the Management Board members was granted 150,000 new share options under this plan.

5. Earnings per share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following data:

         
    H1 ‘11   H1 ‘10
         
Earnings (in € thousands)    
Earnings (net result attributable to equity holders) -478,667 36,801
 
Number of shares (in thousands)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic EPS 221,861 221,718
 
Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares (in thousands)
Share options and restricted stocks 1,467 222
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted EPS   223,328   221,940

6. Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (CGUs) following consistent allocation as in the year-end 2010 allocation. Within TomTom we have identified four CGUs being Consumer, Automotive, Licensing and Business Solutions. The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on the higher of “value in use” or “fair value less cost to sell” calculations. The “fair value less cost to sell” resulted in a higher recoverable amount.

Our trigger-based impairment testing showed that the recoverable amount of our Consumer CGU is lower than its carrying value.

The impairment is mainly the consequence of a weaker than expected market outlook for the PND market which negatively impacts the expectations for our Consumer business unit.

The calculation method for the impairment test is consistent with the method used at year end. For a detailed explanation of the calculation method, reference is made to the 2010 Annual Report.

Management’s expectations and other inputs to the model reflect current economic and market developments and insofar as possible have been cross checked with external information.

Based on the impairment test management concluded that an impairment charge of €473 million (2010: nil) should be recorded in the first half year of 2011.

The following table sets out the key assumptions used in the trigger-based impairment testing;

     
Consumer segment assumptions   H1 '11
     
Revenue – perpetual growth   -1.0%
Operating expenses – perpetual growth -1.0%
Discount rate 10%
 
Impairment   €473 million

7. Other intangible assets

Our trigger-based impairment testing on intangible assets other than goodwill resulted in an impairment charge of €39 million. The impairment charge recorded on our intangibles is mainly related to certain customer relationships which ended and other assets for which management has changed its intended use.

All shares have a par value of €0.20 per share.

In the period ended 30 June 2011, 86,927 shares were issued following the exercise of share options by employees.

9. Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation expenses amounted to €4.9 million in H1 2011 versus €6.0 million in the same period last year.

In May 2011 the Group issued 3.1 million stock options under the 2009 share option plan. The 2009 share option plan was adopted for members of management and eligible employees. The plan aims to encourage members of the Management Board and selected employees to focus on the Group’s long-term success by providing such individuals an economic interest in any growth of equity value of the Company, subject to terms and conditions of the 2009 Share Option Plan.

The 2009 share option plan qualifies as an ‘Equity-settled share based payment plan’. The options granted in 2011 under the 2009 plan will vest after three years (cliff vesting) while the previously granted options in 2010 and 2009 vest in three equal yearly portions, the first third after one year, the second third after two years and the remaining third after three years from the grant date. These terms result in options under the plan that cannot be transferred, pledged or charged and may be exercised only by the option holder over a period of seven years from the grant date but only after completion of the vesting period. Options expire after the exercise period. The options will be covered at the time of exercise by issuing new shares.

In addition to the stock options grant, the Group also issued new performance shares and restricted stock units to certain groups of employees. The performance shares plan is classified as a cash-settled plan and the restricted stock plan is an equity-settled plan. Both plans have a three years service period as the only vesting condition.

For further information on our share based compensation, see the Annual Report 2010, note 22.

10. Related party transactions

There were no related party transactions other than transactions with key management personnel. Refer to note 4 for transactions with key management personnel.

11. Seasonality

The Group’s sales are impacted by seasonal trends in the consumer electronics and automotive industries, typically resulting in higher revenues in the second half of the year. Seasonality is largely driven by higher sales in the holiday season in the fourth quarter and traditionally low sales in the first quarter of the year. New products also drive increases in sales.

In the 12 months ended June 2011, the Group had revenues of €1,470 million compared to revenues for the year ending June 2010 of €1,529 million.

12. Commitments and contingent liabilities

In the first half of 2011 there were no material changes to the Group’s commitments and contingent liabilities from those disclosed in our Annual Report 2010, note 29.
