TomTom’s Chief Executive Officer, Harold Goddijn
“In the second quarter we delivered strong profitability and cash generation driven by new products, the expected seasonal uplift in PND sales and tight management of costs and working capital. In recent weeks we have successfully raised capital to substantially strengthen our balance sheet.
We started volume shipments of our first line fitted car navigation product with Renault and initial feedback from customers is encouraging. Our IQ Routes technology is gaining recognition as the only fact based routing solution available for car drivers to choose efficient routes to their destinations. Tele Atlas had a solid quarter with stable year on year revenues.
Market conditions continue to be challenging but so far this year end user demand has been in line with our expectations. We are making good progress with diversifying our revenue base and our strengthened balance sheet enables us to focus on the continued execution of our strategy.’’
Market and TomTom outlook 2009
End user demand, both in the European and North American PND markets, has developed in line with our expectations so far this year. In the second half of the year we expect sales to be strongly weighted towards the fourth quarter as has been the case in previous years.
We are ahead of our plans with our cost reduction programme. We have increased our saving target to €90 million from €60 million (operating expenses in 2009 compared to the 2008 pro forma operating expenses of €627 million).
