TOMTOM’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, HAROLD GODDIJN

“We continue to make headways in a turbulent automotive environment. Operational revenue increased 36% year on year, and we recently announced new deals with Groupe PSA and BMW Group – highlighting the quality and constant development of our connected navigation products.

We are currently considering strategic options for our Telematics business. With innovation and a renewed focus on the Automotive and Enterprise segment, we will continue to shape the future of driving with accurate maps, navigation software and real-time traffic information and services.”

OUTLOOK 2018

We are updating our guidance for the year.

An agreement has been reached to bring the contract for TomTom to provide location and navigation content and services to Volvo, as communicated on 8 June 2016, to an end.  As a result of this agreement, the order intake for 2016 is adjusted downwards to more than €250 million (was more than €300 million). We will continue to work together with Volvo going forward, including the Volvo Drive Me programme, a research project into autonomous driving.

During the quarter, we announced that we are exploring strategic alternatives for our Telematics business unit, which may result in a sale of the division. There is strong interest, the process is on schedule and we are aiming to provide a further update in Q1 '19, or earlier when appropriate.
