TomTom's Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn

“Strong growth in Consumer Sports could not offset PND decline we have seen this quarter.

In Automotive, we continue to make good progress in delivering our connected navigation system components to existing and new customers. Our order intake for this year so far is above €200 million, in line with our expectations; TomTom has won the largest deal available to the market this year. Together  with  orders  secured  earlier, this  will  support  continued growth  in our  Automotive  business.

This quarter we announced a partnership with NVIDIA to create a cloud-to-car mapping system for High Definition maps for self-driving cars. This collaboration is an important step for TomTom.

Our revenue mix is shifting towards high gross margin, recurring data, software & services income.”
