FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REVIEW
TOMTOM'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, TACO TITULAER
"Growth in both Automotive and Enterprise contributed to a year-on-year increase of 15% in Location Technology revenue.
Our operating result improved compared with last year as a result of higher gross margin and lower operating expenses. The latter is mainly explained by lower acquisition-related amortization and cautious cost management.
During the quarter, we resumed our share buyback, purchasing over 2 million shares for €17 million.
We are reiterating our full-year guidance with the expectation that revenue will be more weighted to the second half of the year given the supply chain constraints within the automotive industry."

REVENUE
Revenue for the first quarter amounted to €131 million flat compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '20: €131 million).
Location Technology
(€ in millions) | Q1 '21 | Q1 '20 | y.o.y. change |
Automotive | 62.7 | 49.8 | 26 % |
Enterprise | 42.1 | 41.5 | 2 % |
Location Technology revenue | 104.8 | 91.3 | 15% |
Automotive operational revenue is calculated as follows:
(€ in millions) | Q1 '21 | Q1 '20 | y.o.y. change |
Reported revenue | 62.7 | 49.8 | 26 % |
Movement of deferred revenue | 11.7 | 30.9 | -62 % |
Operational revenue | 74.4 | 80.7 | -8% |
Location Technology revenue in the quarter increased by 15% to €105 million (Q1 '20: €91 million) resulting from a strong increase in Automotive and a marginal increase in Enterprise.
Automotive revenue in the quarter was €63 million representing a 26% increase from last year as Q1 '20 included adjustments to the estimated total contract value of some contracts to account for the impact of COVID-19. Automotive operational revenue decreased by 8% to €74 million (Q1 '20: €81 million) as production volumes decreased year on year.
Enterprise revenue in Q1 '21 was €42 million, 2% higher compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '20: €41 million), reflecting increased revenue from existing customers.
We launched TomTom Navigation for Automotive, our new-generationcloud-native and full hybrid navigation solution. It includes a brand-new user interface that can be implemented across brands and configured for both internal combustion engines and electric powertrains, functioning in both online and offline situations.
The solution can be integrated with vehicle sensors, enabling it to display vital information linked to advanced driver assistance systems and refueling or recharging needs. It can be offered as one pre- integrated stack and delivered through easy-to-use SDKs and APIs that can be easily integrated in any in-vehicle infotainment system.
The new Mitsubishi Outlander showcases the new MI-PILOT Assist which incorporates TomTom ADAS Map data, such as road curvature and speed limits. With this data, the ADAS function can pro- actively adapt speed based on accurate and up-to-date information about the road at hand and ahead, helping increase drivers' safety and comfort.
3/9
Our geographic database expanded to include around 450 thousand charging points of interest (POIs) enhancing our offering for the fast-growing EV market. TomTom routing technology optimizes routes to save energy and guides EV drivers to compatible, available charging stations within reachable EV range, reducing driver range anxiety.
New deals within Enterprise expanded our reach in the fleet and logistics and on-demand markets, broadening our client base and increasing the use of our Maps APIs.
Consumer
(€ in millions) | Q1 '21 | Q1 '20 | y.o.y. change |
Consumer products | 23.5 | 35.1 | -33 % |
Automotive hardware | 2.9 | 4.8 | -40 % |
Total Consumer revenue | 26.4 | 39.9 | -34% |
Consumer revenue decreased year-on-year by 34% to €26 million (Q1 '20: €40 million). The Consumer revenue is negatively impacted by governmental COVID-19 measures such as travel limitations and retail closures. During the quarter Consumer launched the TomTom GO Discover, our most powerful navigation device to date.
GROSS MARGIN
The gross margin increased to 81% compared with 78% in Q1 '20 as it continues to benefit from higher proportions of software and content revenue.
OPERATING RESULT
Operating result in the quarter improved year-on-year to a loss of €14 million compared with a loss of €78 million in Q1 '20. This is mainly the result of improved gross margin combined with a decrease in operating expenses of €60 million.
Operating expenses (Q1 '21 €121 million; Q1 '20: €180 million) decreased mainly because of lower acquisition-related amortization as the Tele Atlas databases, acquired in 2008, were fully amortized in 2020. Excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization (D&A), cautious cost management resulted in a year-on-year decrease in underlying operating expenses.
Presented below is an overview of operating expenses excluding D&A:
(€ in millions) | Q1 '21 | Q1 '20 | y.o.y. change |
Research and development expenses - Geographic data | 41.4 | 46.3 | -11 % |
Research and development expenses - Application layer | 32.3 | 28.4 | 14 % |
Sales and marketing expenses | 10.2 | 15.0 | -32 % |
General and administrative expenses | 15.3 | 18.3 | -16 % |
Operating expenses excluding D&A | 99.2 | 108.0 | -8% |
Depreciation and amortization | 21.5 | 72.3 | -70 % |
Operating expenses | 120.7 | 180.3 | -33% |
FINANCIAL INCOME, EXPENSES AND INCOME TAX
Total financial result for the quarter was an income of €4.4 million (Q1 '20: income of €5.1 million) mainly from the revaluation of cash balances.
The net income tax expense for the quarter was €1.6 million compared with a gain of €9.9 million in Q1 '20. The tax gain in Q1 '20 is mainly the result of a release of deferred tax liability in line with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets which were fully amortized at the end of 2020.
BALANCE SHEET
Other intangible assets decreased to €104 million from €117 million at the end of 2020 due to amortization. Cash balances, including fixed-term deposits, decreased by €20 million due to a combination of a negative cash flow from operating activities and the repurchase of shares under the share buyback program.
Trade receivables were €61 million in Q1 '21 compared with €80 million at the end of 2020, resulting from lower operational revenue in the quarter. The inventory level at the end of the quarter was €24 million, a €3 million decrease from the end of last year.
4/9
Current liabilities excluding deferred revenue, were €114 million, compared with €116 million at the end of 2020. The decrease is mainly due to decreases in trade payables as well as personnel-related accruals included in 'Accruals and other liabilities'.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue is €398 million at the end of Q1 '21, built up of a gross deferral of €421 million and an unbilled netting adjustment of €23 million. The decrease in deferred revenue from Q4 '20 is driven by the release of deferred revenue in Enterprise and Consumer, partly offset by increasing deferrals in Automotive.
The following table presents the deferred revenue including the effect of netting:
(€ in millions) | 31 March 2021 | 31 December 2020 |
Automotive | 363.5 | 351.7 |
Enterprise | 23.6 | 34.9 |
Consumer | 34.2 | 39.7 |
Gross deferred revenue | 421.3 | 426.3 |
Less: Netting adjustment to unbilled revenue | 23.3 | 22.6 |
Deferred revenue1 | 397.9 | 403.7 |
- Deferred revenue reflects amounts not yet recognized as revenue as services still need to be delivered. Unbilled revenue represents amounts accrued for when a contractual right to invoice exists. When a single contract has both an accrual, based on contractual invoicing terms, and a deferral, because the underlying services are not yet fully delivered, the unbilled and the deferred positions are netted for presentation on the balance sheet.
CASH FLOW
In Q1 '21, the free cash flow from was an outflow of €4 million versus an inflow of €14 million in the same quarter last year. The opening trade receivables balance was lower when compared with the opening balance in Q1 '20, resulting in lower cash collection during the quarter. This, combined with lower operational revenue partly offset by lower variable personnel expenses explains the year-on- year decrease in free cash flow.
The cash flow from financing activities for the quarter was an outflow of €21 million (Q1 '20: outflow of €19 million). The outflow reflects payments for shares purchased under the share buyback program and payments of lease liabilities offset by cash received from the exercise of 108 thousand options relating to our long-term employee incentive programs (Q1 '20: 392 thousand options).
On 31 March 2021, the Group had no outstanding bank borrowings and reported a net cash position of €352 million (Q4 '20: €372 million).
Free cash flow is reconciled to the cash flow statement as follows:
(€ in millions) | Q1 '21 | Q1 '20 |
Cash flow from operating activities | -0.8 | 15.8 |
Investments in property, plant and equipment | -3.1 | -2.1 |
Free cash flow | -3.9 | 13.7 |
SHARE BUYBACK
We resumed our share buyback program on 15 February 2021. During the quarter we repurchased 2,215,398 shares for an aggregate consideration of €17.3 million.
Since the start of the program in 2020, we have repurchased 4,569,831 shares for an aggregate consideration of €33.9 million. This leaves a remaining repurchase amount of €16.1 million.
