¹ Earnings per fully diluted share count adjusted for acquisition-related expenses & gains, impairments and material restructuring and disposal costs on a post-tax basis.

² As of the start of 2018, we have changed the name of our Licensing segment to Enterprise as it better reflects the nature of activities, customers and target markets.

This report includes the following non-GAAP measures: gross margin, EBIT (margin), EBITDA (margin), adjusted net result, adjusted EPS and net cash, which are further explained on page 16 of this report.

TomTom's Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn

“Our business continues to shift towards higher gross margins, better predictability due to longer term contracts and more upfront cash flows. Over 60% of our revenue is now coming from data, software and services. We are becoming a software technology company, with a leading position in connected car, fleet management and online location and navigation services.

As a result of significant wins in North America, Automotive order intake exceeded €400 million in 2017, a new record. We have over 800,000 cars connected to our fleet management platform. Our online location and navigation services will become part of Microsoft’s Azure platform in 2018.”

Outlook 2018

Forward-looking statements (and restated comparable 2017 figures) are provided using IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 accounting standards. Going forward, the definition of adjusted EPS is changed to better reflect the transition of our business model towards a software and services company.


	Outlook 2018	Restated 2017
Revenue*	~ €800 million	€903 million
Gross margin	close to 70%	63%
Adjusted EPS**	~ €0.25	€0.18
OPEX & CAPEX (excl. acquisitions)	~ €700 million	€721 million

* 2018 revenue outlook reflects the continuous decline of Consumer.

** Adjusted net result is now calculated as net result attributed to equity holders adjusted for movement of deferred/unbilled revenue, deferred cost of sales, impairments and material restructuring and disposal costs on a post-tax basis. Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net result divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares over the period.

Adjusted EPS definitions used throughout this report are further explained on page 12.

Update share buyback programme

On 8 December 2017, TomTom completed its share buyback programme that was launched on 19 September 2017. Under this programme, a total of 5,384,450 ordinary TomTom shares were repurchased on Euronext Amsterdam at an average price of €9.25 per share, for a total consideration of €49.8 million. TomTom will use the shares to cover its commitments arising from its stock option and share plans.

Financial and business review

TomTom generated revenue of €220 million in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 17% compared with €266 million in Q4 '16. Automotive & Enterprise showed strong year on year revenue growth in Q4, which was offset by a decline in Consumer. On a full year basis, total revenue was €903 million (FY '16: €987 million). Automotive & Enterprise and Telematics revenue delivered a combined year on year revenue growth of 16% in 2017. However, this revenue growth was more than offset by a decline of Consumer revenue of 27% year on year.

Gross margin was 62% in FY '17 (FY '16: 57%) and EBITDA was €141 million in FY '17 (FY '16: €141 million). The adjusted net result for the year was a gain of €61 million, which translates to adjusted EPS of €0.26 in FY '17 (FY '16: €0.23).

Change percentages and totals calculated before rounding.

Automotive & Enterprise combined revenue in the quarter was €87 million (Q4 '16: €72 million) and €329 million for the full year 2017 (FY '16: €269 million).

Automotive generated revenue of €54 million in the quarter, representing a 47% increase year on year. On a full year basis, Automotive revenue reached €191 million, 44% higher compared with last year (FY '16: €133 million). This considerable revenue growth mainly came from the ramp-up of a new contract that went live in 2016 as well as higher revenue from existing contracts. The deferred revenue position of Automotive increased in the year by 94% to €113 million at the end of 2017 (December 2016: €59 million). A breakdown of deferred revenue is provided in the Balance Sheet section.

Enterprise revenue in Q4 '17 was €33 million compared with €35 million in the same quarter last year. This decline was mainly caused by a weaker USD. On a full year basis, Enterprise reported total revenue of €138 million, 1% higher compared with €136 million in 2016.

We launched our traffic service in Japan during the quarter, bringing our global Traffic coverage to 69 countries. We announced a collaboration with ZENRIN, Japan’s market leader in mapping and navigation, to cooperate on traffic services and mapping in Japan. With this collaboration, we will be able to provide even more accurate traffic information to OEMs and Tier 1s in the country. In addition, we extended our HD Map coverage to Japan, covering over 18,000 kilometres of freeways across the country.

At the CES 2018, we launched AutoStream, an innovative map delivery service that enables vehicles to build a horizon for the road ahead by streaming the latest map data from the TomTom cloud. TomTom AutoStream has launched with two initial partners: Baidu and Zenuity. We also announced TomTom MotionQ, a unique predictive driving concept to ensure the comfort of passengers in self-driving transport. We are working together with Qualcomm to demonstrate new location technologies for autonomous driving, specifically, fusing the TomTom HD Map, with camera technologies and GPS data from the Qualcomm^® Drive Data Platform, to power highly precise and reliable localisation for connected car applications and autonomous vehicles.

Also in the quarter, TomTom Route Monitoring was introduced, designed to address the growing road congestion challenges faced by smart cities worldwide. This service helps traffic managers, event managers and emergency service dispatchers to monitor travel times and delays on routes of interest, as they happen, and inform the public of delays and alternative routes through smartphones, in-car systems and variable message signs.

In Enterprise, we announced that our online APIs are integrated in the newly launched Microsoft Azure cloud platform. By providing our location-based technologies on Azure, we enable IoT solutions, with impact on a wide range of industries from Smart Cities to Automotive. We have also completely revamped the developer portal for Online APIs during the quarter. Update included enhancements to the product offerings and a pricing model geared towards small and medium sized businesses to easily integrate TomTom’s Online APIs into their applications. We started to supply map and traffic data to Transport Systems Catapult (TSC), supporting their intelligent mobility platform in providing innovative transportation solutions in the UK.

Telematics generated revenue of €42 million in Q4 '17, flat compared with €42 million in Q4 '16. This performance was driven by growth in the WEBFLEET subscriber base, which was partially offset by a decline in hardware revenue. The recurring subscription revenue amounted to €33 million for the quarter, 6% higher compared with the same quarter last year. Hardware revenue declined with 15% year on year, due to a higher proportion of hardware rental in our subscriber sales mix. Revenue for 2017 was €162 million, representing a 4% growth year on year (FY '16: €155 million).

At the end of the year, Telematics reached more than 809,000 fleet management and connected car subscriptions. This represents a 16% year on year increase, from 696,000 subscriptions at the end of 2016.

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.

On a full year basis, acquisition-related amortisation amounted to €235 million in 2017, higher compared with last year (FY '16: €55 million) due to the impairment of goodwill related to Consumer and the accelerated amortisation of some customer relationships.

The other financial result for the quarter was a gain of €0.9 million (Q4 '16: loss of €2.0 million), which consisted primarily of foreign exchange gains from the revaluation of monetary balance sheet items partially offset by our hedging results.

Cash flow

The cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was €98 million compared with €76 million in Q4 '16.

The cash flow used in investing activities during the quarter increased by €3.0 million year on year to €29 million (Q4 '16: €26 million). On a full year basis, the cash flow used in investing activities (excluding the effect of acquisitions) was €120 million, an increase of €2.6 million year on year (FY '16: €117 million). The vast majority of the investments related to map content and various technology platforms to support growth in Automotive and Enterprise.

Adjusted EPS calculation

In 2018, TomTom changed the definition of adjusted EPS to better reflect the transition of its business model towards a software and services company. Adjusted net result is now calculated as net result attributed to equity holders adjusted for movement of deferred and unbilled revenue, deferred cost of sales, impairments and material restructuring and disposal costs on a post-tax basis. Below table shows the calculations of adjusted EPS, using the old and the new definitions and taking into account different accounting standards.

Transition to new accounting standards

1 January 2018

TomTom has assessed the estimated impact that the initial application of IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 will have on the consolidated financial statements. The estimated impact of the adoption of these standards on the Group’s equity as at 1 January 2018 is based on assessments undertaken to date. There is no expected material impact from the adoption of IFRS 9. The estimated adjustments due to adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 are material and are illustrated in the subsequent tables.

Consolidated condensed statement of income using IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 accounting standards

The new accounting policies are subject to change until the group presents its first financial statements that include the date of initial application and, therefore, the actual impact of adopting the new standards at 1 January 2018 may change.
