FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REVIEW

TOMTOM'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, TACO TITULAER

"Fourth-quarter Automotive reported revenue increased sharply year on year, in part resulting from the evolution of our products, leading to a change in how we recognize revenue from new map subscription contracts. Automotive operational revenue increased by 16% year on year, outperforming the trend of car production volumes in our core markets. Enterprise exhibited an anticipated revenue decline.

Full-year group revenue increased in 2022. For 2023, we expect group revenue growth to continue, with a strong increase in Automotive revenues offsetting declines in both our Consumer and Enterprise businesses. We envision our Enterprise business to show growth from Q4 2023 onward.

In the fourth quarter, free cash flow was negatively affected by movements in working capital. We recorded an outflow of €29 million for full year 2022. In 2023, we expect to generate positive free cash flow1 of between 0% and +5% of group revenue, supported by growing revenues."

Our Automotive products have evolved into API-based updates and services in combination with an initial onboard map, from a predominantly onboard offering including updates. As a result of this change, the timing of IFRS revenue recognition for new map subscription contracts changed from Q4 2022 onward. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the impact on reported revenue was a positive effect of €9.6 million, and we expect the positive impact on full-year 2023 revenue to be around €40 million.

The change in revenue recognition resulting from these products will also have an impact on 2024 and 2025 revenue, though the 2025 impact is expected to be negligible. We reiterate our mid-term Location Technology revenue ambition of €600 million in 2025, in combination with a free cash flow generation target of 10% of group revenue.

Our outlook is supported by an Automotive backlog2 of around €2.4 billion at the end of 2022, up from €1.9 billion at the end of 2021. This increase is the result of a record order intake in 2022.

  • Free cash flow excludes restructuring charges related to the Maps realignment announced in June 2022.
    2 Automotive backlog is the cumulative expected IFRS revenue from all awarded Automotive deals.

Location Technology revenue was €118 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 30% year on year (Q4 '21: €91 million). Sharp revenue growth in Automotive revenue offset the anticipated decline in Enterprise revenue this quarter.

3/10

Increased car production volumes and a further ramp up of some contracts led Automotive to generate revenues of €77 million in the quarter, an increase of 64% compared with the same quarter last year (Q4 '21: €47 million). Normalized for the positive impact from the change in how we recognize revenue for new map subscription contracts, the year-on-year increase in Automotive revenue was 43%. In part, this considerable increase can be explained by the comparatively low reported revenue in Q4 2021, which reflected the impact of downward adjustments in total contract values.

Automotive operational revenue was €82 million in the quarter, a year-on-year increase of 16% (Q4 '21: €71 million) outperforming the development of car production volumes in Europe and North America.

Enterprise revenue decreased to €40 million in Q4 '22, 7% lower than the same quarter last year (Q4 '21: €44 million), as some contract renewals reflect decreased usage and therefore lower contract values.

Full-year Location Technology segment EBITDA improved year on year resulting from the increase in revenue, partly offset by continued investments in our application layer and sales & marketing activities.

During the quarter, we extended our longstanding partnership with Stellantis, providing our connected suite of navigation services to their next-generation digital cockpit platform, STLA SmartCockpit. TomTom's maps, navigation software, and real-time traffic information will power all Stellantis brands globally. The award was one of multiple significant Automotive contracts we closed

in 2022, leading to a record Automotive backlog of €2.4 billion.

We announced that we will introduce significantly improved maps in the course of 2023, build on the new TomTom Maps Platform. The platform combines TomTom's own data with new 'super' sources such as sensor-derived observations and open-source data. The new maps will offer broader geographical coverage, an extended set of supported data types, and faster update cycles. This will enable us to build on our success in the Automotive market, scaling products and applications to a broader variety of customers.

Together with Amazon Web Services, Meta, and Microsoft we have founded the Overture Maps Foundation. To support industry demands, the pooling of resources and the creation of a global map standard is needed. The Overture Maps Foundation is a collaborative effort that intends to develop interoperable open map data through a global entity reference system and structured data schema. Our common initiative will facilitate an ecosystem of users and contributors to share map data in an efficient way and on a global scale.

Consumer reported revenue of €21 million for the quarter, a decrease of 13% compared with the same quarter last year (Q4 '21: €25 million).

Full-year revenue decreased by 11% compared with 2021, as a consequence segment EBITDA decreased as well year on year.

GROSS MARGIN

The gross margin for the quarter was 87% compared with 82% in Q4 '21. The improvement in gross margin is the result of a higher proportion of higher-margin software and content revenue.

OPERATING RESULT

Operating result (EBIT) in the quarter was a loss of €5 million (Q4 '21: loss of €35 million). Total operating expenses in the quarter were €125 million, a decrease of €4 million compared with the same quarter last year (Q4 '21: €130 million) as a result of lower personnel expenses in our Maps unit.

Excluding the impact of D&A and restructuring, operating expenses in the quarter decreased by 1% mainly due to lower R&D - Geographic data, partly offset by increased investments in our application layer and in our sales team to support revenue growth.

A reconciliation of operating expenses excluding D&A and restructuring charges1 is presented below:

FINANCIAL RESULT AND INCOME TAX

Total financial result for the quarter was a loss of €1 million (Q4 '21: gain of €1 million), which consisted primarily of foreign exchange losses from the revaluation of monetary balance sheet items.

The income tax expense for the quarter was €3 million compared with an expense of €5 million in Q4 '21.

BALANCE SHEET

Other intangible assets decreased to €43 million from €70 million at the end of 2021 mainly due to amortization of our map database. Cash balances, including fixed-term deposits, were €304 million at the end of the quarter (Q4 '21: €356 million).

At the end of the quarter, inventory was €15 million, a €5 million decrease from the end of last year. Trade receivables were €66 million at the end of Q4 '22 compared with €56 million at the end of 2021 as a result of higher operational revenue this quarter.

  • Restructuring charges are related to the Maps realignment announced in June 2022.

5/10

Current liabilities, excluding deferred revenue, were €122 million, compared with €110 million at the end of 2021. The increase is mainly related to an increase in personnel-related accruals, partly offset by a relatively low trade payable position.

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue of €439 million was relatively flat compared with €441 million at the end of last year. The movement reflects a decrease in deferred revenue of Enterprise and Consumer offset by an increase in the deferred revenue position of Automotive. Automotive deferred revenue is impacted by the aforementioned change in the way we treat the performance obligations of map subscriptions, which resulted in less revenue being deferred.

CASH FLOW

In Q4 '22, free cash flow was an outflow of €21 million versus an inflow of €57 million in the same quarter last year. The year-on-year decrease is the result of lower cash collection from customers and some unfavorable movements in working capital.

The cash flow from financing activities for the quarter was an outflow of €4 million and relates to the payment of lease liabilities. During the quarter there were no stock options exercises related to our long-term employee incentive programs (Q4 '21: 12 thousand).

On 31 December 2022, the Group had no outstanding bank borrowings and reported a net cash position of €304 million (Q4 '21: net cash of €356 million).
