TOMTOM'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, TACO TITULAER

"Our first-quarter Location Technology revenue was comparable to last year. In Automotive, lower car production volumes of some of our customers impacted operational revenue. Within the Enterprise business, we expect increasing revenues later this year and in 2025 as a result of the gradual conversion of our sales funnel for TomTom Orbis Maps.

We saw high gross margins in the quarter and maintained tight cost control, keeping underlying operating expenses stable quarter on quarter by absorbing inflationary pressures. Partially as a result of seasonal cash-outs, first- quarter free cash flow was negative, as anticipated.

We reiterate our full-year guidance for both free cash flow and revenue."

For 2025, we are reiterating our Location Technology revenue ambition of €600 million, as well as our free cash flow target of 10% of group revenue. We will continue to closely monitor car production volumes of our main customers and optimize sales funnel conversion rates.

  • Free cash flow in 2023 excludes restructuring payments related to the Maps realignment announced in June 2022.

REVENUE FOR THE PERIOD

Revenue for the first quarter amounted to €139 million, a year-on-year decrease of 1% (Q1 '23: €141 million).

LOCATION TECHNOLOGY

Location Technology revenue for the quarter was €119 million, remaining stable as compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '23: €118 million).

Automotive generated revenue of €83 million for the quarter, an increase of 3% compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '23: €81 million). Automotive operational revenue was €79 million in the quarter, 6% lower year on year (Q1 '23: €84 million), reflecting lower car production volumes of some of our customers and divergent phasing of ramp-ups and ramp-downs of some car lines.

Enterprise revenue decreased to €35 million in Q1 '24, 4% lower than the same quarter last year (Q1 '23: €37 million).

We made significant progress with the roll-out of TomTom Orbis Maps during the quarter. We expanded geographical coverage, establishing a global footprint. Further, the new maps now support advanced map visualization, POI search, routing, and many other features. We are extending our market reach, addressing a broader range of use cases and industries, resulting in increasing commercial momentum.

We are already seeing that our product and services are being used for a broadening variety of use cases. Over the quarter, we announced deals with Enterprise customers in various industries and sectors, supporting a large number of applications. These range from railroad logistics optimization, pairing shipments with their optimal rail stations, to insurance tech, helping insurers promote safer driving. Our technologies also support data-drivendecision-making in domains as varied as location-based marketing and electric vehicle charging.

CONSUMER

Consumer reported revenue of €21 million for the quarter, a 9% decline versus the same quarter last year (Q1 '23: €23 million).

RESULT FOR THE PERIOD

GROSS MARGIN

The gross margin for the quarter remained stable at 86% (Q1 '23: 86%).

OPERATING RESULT

Operating result (EBIT) in the quarter was a loss of €5 million (Q1 '23: profit of €3 million). Total operating expenses

in the quarter were €125 million, an increase of €7 million compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '23: €118 million). This is mainly attributable to a limited increase in research and development expenses, as a result of continued investments in our application layer.

Sequentially, our operating expenses decreased by €12 million (Q4 '23: €137 million), mostly explained by a restructuring charge of €10 million recorded in the previous quarter. Correcting for this restructuring charge and lower depreciation and amortization, underlying operating expenses were relatively flat as merit increases were offset by savings in other areas.

FINANCIAL INCOME, EXPENSES AND INCOME TAX

Total financial result for the quarter was an income of €2.8 million, mainly resulting from increased interest income on our fixed-term deposits (Q1 '23: income of €1.6 million).

The income tax expense for the quarter was €2.8 million compared with an expense of €1.3 million in Q1 '23.

CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY, AND WORKING CAPITAL

In Q1 '24, free cash flow was an outflow of €9 million versus an inflow of €6 million in the same quarter last year.

A reconciliation from operating result to free cash flow, to net cash movement is presented below:

Free cash flow saw a year-on-year decrease of €16 million. Excluding the impact of restructuring charges related to the Maps realignment, recorded in Q1 '23, the year-on-year decrease was €20 million. This decrease in free cash flow is partially explained by higher working capital utilization as well as a lower EBITDA.

The underlying movements in working capital during the quarter included a comparatively higher payout of personnel-related accruals.

3/9

Deferred revenue increased to €442 million, from €433 million at the end of 2023. The following table presents the deferred revenue including the effect of netting:

The increase in net deferred revenue primarily results from an increase in Enterprise deferred revenue, related to quarterly fluctuations in the timing of invoicing.

Cash flow from other investing and financing activities in the quarter primarily reflect the cash-out related to our €50 million share buyback program, which was announced in October 2023 and was 64% completed by the end of the quarter. Further, the comparative figures for Q1 '23 included proceeds of €15 million from the divestment of our equity interest in Cyient Ltd.

On 31 March 2024, the Group had no outstanding bank borrowings and reported a net cash position of €284 million (Q4 '23: net cash of €315 million).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three-month period ended 31 March 2024 and the related comparative information has been prepared using accounting policies and methods of computation which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as disclosed in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Unless otherwise indicated, the quarterly condensed consolidated information in this press release is neither audited nor reviewed. Due to rounding, amounts may not add up precisely to totals. All change percentages are calculated before rounding.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The financial information in this report includes measures which are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such as IFRS. We believe this information, along with comparable GAAP measurements, gives insight to investors as it provides a basis for evaluating our operational performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. Wherever appropriate and practical, we provide reconciliations to relevant GAAP measures.

Operational revenue is IFRS revenue adjusted for the movement of gross deferred revenue Gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by IFRS revenue

EBIT is equal to our operating result

EBIT margin is calculated as operating result divided by IFRS revenue

EBITDA is equal to our operating result plus depreciation and amortization charges

  • 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.
