Loss Reduction Outpaces Sector Norms

Valuation Gaps Widen Versus Peers

• TomTom is trading at a Price-to-Sales Ratio of 1.3x, which is not only below peer group and industry averages but also well under its own discounted cash flow (DCF) fair value of €16.46 per share, with the current share price at €6.10. This indicates a wide value gap on multiple measures.

Muted Revenue Growth Raises Strategic Questions

• Annual revenue is forecast to rise at just 1.9% per year, considerably lower than the broader Dutch market's 7.7% rate, so top-line momentum continues to lag both peers and industry standards.
