TomTom's Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn

"Our third quarter revenue growth is in line with our plan to deliver growth in the second half of the year.

We launched a new generation GPS sports watches with integrated music player and 24/7 activity tracking; we announced new deals with automotive customers; and we saw continued growth in our licensing and fleet management businesses.

For most countries, our maps are already being maintained on our new transactional map-making system, which will be fully deployed towards the end of this year. With this technological innovation, TomTom is well positioned to address the need for accurate and up-to-date maps, for navigation applications and driver assistance applications, including Highly Automated Driving.

Our location technologies are gaining significant interest in the automotive industry as reflected in the level of bookings we secured this year, which so far exceeds €250 million. This level of order intake is substantially higher than in previous years, which is a good indication that our strategy in automotive is taking hold."
