FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS REVIEW
REVENUE
Revenue for the first quarter amounted to €170 million, a 14% increase compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '18: €149 million). Both Automotive and Enterprise showed strong year on year revenue increase, while Consumer showed a limited year on year decline.
Location Technology
(€ in millions) Q1 '19 Q1 '18 y.o.y. change
Automotive 65.1 49.7 31 %
Enterprise 37.8 30.1 26 %
Location Technology revenue 102.9 79.8 29%

Location Technology revenue in the quarter was €103 million (Q1 '18: €80 million). Automotive generated revenue of €65 million in the quarter, representing a 31% increase year on year. The strong growth was the result of contracts that started at the end of 2018 and higher volumes from existing customers. Automotive operational revenue increased by 12% year on year (Q1 '19 €87 million vs Q1 '18 €78 million). Automotive operational revenue is impacted by the timing of invoicing.
Enterprise revenue in Q1 '19 was €38 million, 26% higher than the same quarter last year (Q1 '18: €30 million), mainly due to the expansion of our partnership with Microsoft.
Automotive business announced a series of new deals with OEMs during the quarter. At the Geneva Motor show, we disclosed that Nissan chose TomTom to provide Maps, Traffic, Online Search and EV Service for its Nissan LEAF. We were also awarded a multi-year global deal to provide traffic service to Volkswagen Group car brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Skoda, Lamborghini and Bentley. In addition, we will supply connected navigation solutions to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ Jeep Renegade and Compass Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles.
We made headways and secured market leadership in HD mapping with the announcement that we have closed two deals with top 10 car makers for HD maps. Furthermore, in collaboration with Elektrobit, we released an industry-first HD map horizon using our AutoStream technology, for automated driving. An HD map horizon helps vehicles to build a highly accurate virtual picture of the road ahead, enhancing driver safety and comfort.
After quarter-end, we announced that our full stack of navigation components was chosen by MG Motor to power its first ever car in India, the connected car MG Hector. The launch also marks our ground-breaking new service, TomTom IQ Maps.
In Enterprise, we announced a collaboration with Moovit and Microsoft for the first comprehensive multi-modal trip planner, a solution to reduce congestion in cities around the world that will enable

developers to build richer apps for consumers to get around their cities. The solution identifies all of the driving, parking, and public transit options, and surfaces them in a single package for map users.
Enterprise also launched Geo-fencing APIs during Developer Week 2019 in Silicon Valley, as well as continuing to make strides in the process of building our developer community by launching a dedicated blog and a Twitter handle, both valuable developer engagement tools.
