"TomTom started the year with good revenue growth in Sport and B2B activities.
Consumer Sport saw the sell-out nearly doubling year on year and the new sport watches are winning numerous awards, which is another proof point of success.
Automotive delivered a strong performance and announced many customer deals during the quarter. We extended HD map and RoadDNA coverage in the quarter, enabling self-driving car testing in key regions of the US. Autonomous Driving continues to push boundaries; at TomTom we're excited to be playing a role in enabling the automotive industry to bring this closer to reality. We are also developing new products for the Connected Car services industry, which take advantage of the capabilities of our Telematics technology. This allows us to target new business and consumer markets, including OEMs, dealerships, importers, servicing and leasing companies and the usage-based insurance (UBI) sector."
We are re-iterating our guidance for the year. We expect revenue to grow to around €1,050 million. Adjusted EPS1 is expected of around €0.23.
We expect the level of investment (both CAPEX and OPEX) in our core technologies to be higher than in 2015. In particular, we are investing in advanced content and software for the automotive industry (e.g. to enable Autonomous Driving) and in our new map-making platform.
The revenue for the quarter was €217 million, 6% higher compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '15: €205 million). The year on year revenue growth of Automotive, Licensing and Telematics more than offset a decline of 4% in Consumer revenue. The gross margin for the quarter was 57% (Q1 '15: 54%). The net result for the quarter was €4.8 million, which translates to adjusted earnings per share of €0.03.

Total Consumer revenue for the quarter was €117 million, compared with €122 million in the same quarter last year. The Automotive hardware revenue decreased by 6% year on year to €20 million in the quarter (Q1 '15: €21 million). Total Consumer products revenue amounted to €97 million in the quarter, compared with €101 million in the same quarter last year. The year on year decrease was driven by lower PND and related content & services revenue partly offset by a considerable growth in Sport revenue.
In the quarter, we saw a unit decline of 13% in the European2 PND market, whilst the North American market declined by 22% year on year. Our market share in both regions improved slightly year on year.
In Drive, we launched the TomTom RIDER 410, our new generation PNDs for motorcyclists. The RIDER 410 'Great Rides Edition' comes with a range of new features, including Lifetime World Maps, Lifetime TomTom Traffic, route planning with TomTom MyDrive, hands-

free calling and roundtrip planning. We also introduced the GO Mobile app for iPhone in the quarter. With on-board Maps, TomTom Traffic, superior routing and Speed Camera warnings in countries where available, the app is the ideal travel companion for mobile users. The new app features a global map license so drivers can use it all over the world even without a network connection.
In Sport, we launched TomTom Golfer 2, our second generation GPS sport watch designed to help golfers improve their game by using automatic shot detection to give detailed post-round analysis. A golfer can see key golf course data like distance to hazards and green, and keep track of the score, distance and time of their round. TomTom Golfer 2 uses GPS technology to automatically recognise nearby courses.
Our Automotive business generated revenue of €30 million in the quarter, an increase of 26% year on year reflecting growth in maps and traffic revenue underpinned by recently announced contracts.
In the quarter, PSA Group launched its new global infotainment platform, which is built on the full suite of TomTom products: maps, navigation software and live traffic service. This new system will be available on the new DS5 as "DS Connect Nav", followed by the Citroen Space Tourer and the Peugeot Traveller. Additional models from all three brands will be rolled out later in the year on a global scale. In addition, we announced an agreement to deliver maps and navigation to the new Volkswagen Up! smartphone App starting from June 2016.
We extended our partnerships with Fiat Chrysler and Toyota this quarter. TomTom will provide turn-by-turn navigation, traffic and maps into the all new Uconnect™ 7" HD Nav and Uconnect™ 7" HD Nav LIVE systems, starting with Fiat Tipo CinquePorte and Station Wagon, and the new Fiat 500S. We announced that Toyota Europe will extend traffic and local search services to three years at no additional cost to their end customers. Furthermore, Toyota Proace, a light commercial vehicle developed in partnership with PSA Group, will receive a new infotainment system featuring TomTom maps, navigation software, traffic and other connected services.
We also released HD map and RoadDNA products covering all interstates and highways in California and Nevada. This product launch adds to our coverage of Germany and Michigan, bringing TomTom's HD Map coverage to around 70,000 kilometers globally. By matching RoadDNA data with vehicle sensor data, a vehicle knows its lane-level location more precisely, even while traveling at high speeds or when changes occur to the roadside.
Our Licensing revenue was €34 million in Q1 '16, 16% higher compared with the same quarter last year (Q1 '15: €29 million). The year on year increase reflects growth in our Consumer Licensing and Geospatial segments driven by new customer wins as well as by renewing/ extending existing customer contracts starting from Q2 '15.
In the quarter, we extended our partnership with PTV. We provide global mapping and traffic content for use in PTV's newest Logistics and Traffic product suite. Our products enable PTV to provide easy-to-use visualisation, simulation and optimisation tools in relation to 'big data' challenges.

Telematics revenue for the quarter was €37 million, a 19% increase compared with €31 million in Q1 '15. The recurring subscription revenue for the quarter increased by 28% year on year to €29 million (Q1 '15: €23 million). Our monthly subscription ARPU decreased slightly year on year, owing to the impact of acquisitions.
Content & Services revenue was €116 million, representing 53% of total revenue for the quarter (Q1 '15: 48%).

Change percentages and totals are based on non-rounded figures
The gross margin for the quarter was 57%, which is 3 percentage points higher compared with 54% in Q1 '15. The year on year increase was mainly driven by a higher proportion of Content & Services revenue in the quarter.
Total operating expenses for the quarter were €128 million compared with €115 million in the same quarter last year. The higher operating expenses were mainly driven by increased SG&A expenses reflecting higher number of FTE's and higher marketing expenses to support our new and broader product range.

Change percentages and totals are based on non-rounded figures
Total depreciation and amortisation costs amounted to €30 million in the quarter, 13% higher compared with last year (Q1 '15: €26 million). Acquisition-related amortisation increased to €13.7 million from €12.7 million in Q1 '15. This year on year increase reflects the increased amortisation charges from acquisitions in the second and the fourth quarter of 2015.
The net interest charge in Q1 '16 was €0.3 million compared with €0.2 million in the same quarter last year. Other financial result for the quarter was a gain of €1.7 million compared with a loss of €2.6 million in Q1 '15. This gain results from the revaluation of monetary balance sheet items partly offset by our hedging results.
The net income tax for the quarter was a gain of €7.3 million versus a net income tax gain of €0.8 million in Q1 '15. The gain in the quarter mainly came from a remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the application of the innovation box facility in the Netherlands.

The net result for the quarter was €4.8 million compared with a loss of €6.9 million in Q1 '15. The adjusted net result on a post-tax basis was €7.9 million compared with €2.4 million in Q1 '15. Adjusted EPS for the quarter was €0.03 versus €0.01 in Q1 '15.
Trade receivables plus other receivables at the end of the quarter equalled €178 million compared with €192 million at the end of Q4 '15. This decline was mainly due to seasonally lower revenue in the first quarter of the year. Inventory was €57 million compared with €49 million at the end of Q4 '15. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €115 million at the end of Q1 '16 (Q4 '15: €148 million).
Current liabilities excluding deferred revenue amounted to €247 million compared with €293 million at the end of Q4 '15. The quarter on quarter decrease was mainly driven by lower trade payables balances.
Deferred revenue for the quarter amounted to €183 million (Q4 '15: €187 million).
At 31 March 2016, we reported a net cash position of €50 million (Q4 '15: €98 million). Net cash isthe sum of the cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period (€115 million) minus the borrowings (€65 million).
The net cash used in operating activities during the quarter was €18 million compared with €13 million in Q1 '15. The year on year movement mainly reflects an increase in working capital position in the first quarter this year (e.g. inventory).
The cash flow used in investing activities during the quarter increased by €7 million year on year to €31 million, mainly reflecting investment in map content, the map-making platform and customer specific investments (e.g. Automotive).
The cash flow from financing activities was €17 million mainly reflecting a €20 million increased utilisation from our revolving credit facility, partly offset by the repayment of the outstanding borrowings from our recently acquired subsidiary. In addition, 0.3 million options related to our long-term employee incentive programmes were exercised in the quarter, resulting in a €1.2 million cash inflow.
