TOMTOM’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, HAROLD GODDIJN
“The COVID-19 pandemic impacts our Automotive and Consumer revenue, with no material impact on our Enterprise revenue. Our Automotive revenue arises principally from customer vehicle sales, which are sharply impacted by factory closures. Our Consumer revenue is impacted by a steep decline in demand arising from retail stores being closed, retailers reducing their inventory levels, and people not driving. Recovery will depend on how quickly economic normality is restored, including vehicle production and end-customer demand, which is currently uncertain.
Given the nature of our business, nearly all our employees can perform their work from home. With the health and safety of our employees and partners as our highest priority, we acted swiftly and decisively to enable remote working, which has enabled us to sustain our engineering development activities and customer service levels.
The year has started well for Automotive and Enterprise orders, including new business, expansions and extensions to existing deals. Our investments to improve our location technology products are delivering to plan, enabling us to continue executing on our business strategy.
Because of our strong debt-free balance sheet, we have the resilience to maintain our course, despite the current uncertainties.”
