Q:
Dear IR team
On 6 Februari 2019 during the conference call TomTom CEO Harold Godijn declared on a question of Francois-Xavier Bouvignies regarding the magnitude of HD automotive deals 2019:
That will be visible. It will be relative to the traditional business, it will be a small number, but it's certainly meaningful and is the beginning of a new line of products if you like.
On 6 March 2019 TomTom publishes a press release.
TomTom (TOM2), the leading independent location technology specialist, today announces that it has closed deals with multiple top 10 carmakers for high-de?nition (HD) mapping. Together they represent a majority of cars produced by those carmakers that have sourced HD Maps
With the information published in the press release in mind regarding the win of multiple HD deals with top 10 carmakers, does TomTom still stand with the declaration that HD deals in the automotive orderbook 2019 will be visible and meaningful but still relative to traditional business and a small number? The reason I ask is that the press release of 6 March 2019 gives the impression that it is quite a big win. Regular contracts last 3 years, so TomTom wins a majority of the market share of HD maps (of the top 10 carmakers excluding Asia) for a period of 2021 to 2024 and this is earmarked as ‘relative to the traditional business and it will be a small number’?
I hope you can clarify

Our press release on TomTom’s HD map leadership is in line with the statement made by or CEO Harold Goddijn during the Q4 earnings call. We can thus confirm that his statement is still valid.

Dus hoe mooi de afgesloten contracten ook zijn, qua automotive orderbook 2019 gaat dit niet meer impact hebben dan pak hem beet EUR 100 milj. Multiple HD deals met top 10 carmakers klinkt mij als groter in de oren, dus of de contracten die gesloten zijn lopen maar relatief kort (1 jaar?) of de HD markt zal (vanaf eind 2021) een stuk kleiner zijn dan waar wij (ik in ieder geval) op hopen.
We hoeven in ieder geval niet te gaan dromen over VW deals van 5 miljoen auto's per jaar, die zitten niet in deze deals.
