I am confident that we are on track for yet another good year.”

1 Segment revenues reflect revenues by database area. Intra-company commissions are for customer and technical support between areas.
Personal Navigation:
During the first quarter of 2007, worldwide revenues in the personal navigation segment increased by 56% over the same period in the prior year to €32.2 million. These 2007 first quarter revenues represent map license fees on 2.2 million personal navigation units as compared to 1.2 million units in the same quarter of the previous year. EMEA personal navigation revenues for the quarter were €27.2 million, an increase of 47% over the same period last year. Americas personal navigation revenues were €5.0 million, an increase of 161% over the same period last year.
Automotive Navigation:
As previously announced, Tele Atlas is phasing out its compilation and conversion activities. The impact of this phase out during the quarter was a reduction of approximately €1.9 million in compilation and conversion revenues. This reduction was offset by a similar reduction in cost of revenues and operating expenses. Worldwide revenues in the automotive navigation segment decreased by 8% to €11.5 million or approximately 1.0 million compared to the same period last year. Worldwide, the number of map licenses sold by Tele Atlas in the automotive segment grew 8% to over 0.5 million units compared to the same period last year. EMEA revenue in this segment was €8.3 million, a 21% or €2.2 million decrease from the same period in the prior year. Americas automotive navigation revenue increased by 70% to €2.8 million, resulting principally from growing sales to DENSO for General Motors.
Enterprise and Government:
First quarter revenue for the enterprise and government sectors (business-to-business) decreased 14% to €11.4 million from €13.3 million during the same period last year, mainly as a result of the Euro impact of changes in exchange rates. Americas revenue in this segment decreased by 11% to €9.4 million compared to last year due to these changes in exchange rates. EMEA revenue in this segment was €2.1 million compared to €2.7 million in the same quarter last year.
Data Products Navigation:
Revenues during the quarter from automotive navigation data products, a segment that today exists primarily in EMEA, decreased by 26% to €4.3 million compared to €5.9 million the same period last year due to reduced demand for map updates for older CD based systems.
Other Segments:
Revenue in the other segments, consisting of Internet and consumer wireless markets, increased by 8% to €4.5 million compared to €4.2 million during the same period last year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses excluding cost of revenues, depreciation, amortization, capitalization and employee stock option expense (“Adjusted Operating Expenses”), increased by 14% to €52.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 from €45.9 million in the same period in 2006. Excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates, Adjusted Operating Expenses increased by 19%.
Cost of revenue increased by 2% to €6.4 million in the first quarter from €6.3 million in the first quarter of 2006. Cost of revenue decreased as a percentage of revenue in the first quarter as a result of the reduction of compilation and conversion revenues from services performed for one customer. These reductions were partially offset by increased royalties paid to data partners for areas where the company sources data from third parties and for additional content, such as points of interest.
Including employee stock option expense, personnel expenses in the first quarter of 2007 increased by 15% to €35.4 million from €30.6 million in 2006. Expense related to share based payments in the first quarter of 2007 amounted to €5.2 million as compared to €4.8 million during the same period in 2006. Excluding employee stock option expense, personnel expenses in the first quarter of 2007 increased by 17% to €30.1 million from €25.8 million in 2006 as a result of an increased number of employees, including temporary personnel. The increased number of employees is partly due to the acquisitions in the second half of 2006 and demands associated with the growing business. Adjusted for the effect of changes in exchange rates, personnel expenses, excluding employee stock option expense, increased by 22% year year over.
Other operating expenses during the quarter increased by 11% to €22.3 million from €20.1 million in the same period during 2006. Excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates, other operating expenses increased by 15%. This increase was primarily the result of legal cost incurred in connection with on-going litigation and a €1.3 million addition to the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts.
Net Result
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based payments and capitalization of database and tool development costs (Adjusted EBITDA) for the first quarter of 2007 increased by 19% to a profit of €5.1 million from €4.3 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the EMEA region increased 30% to €19.9 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to €15.3 million for the first quarter of 2006 as a result of increased sales revenues. The Adjusted EBITDA for the Americas increased 38% to €2.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 from €2.1 million in the same quarter during 2006. First quarter 2007 Adjusted EBITDA for APAC was a loss of €2.3 million versus a loss of €0.7 million in the same quarter in 2006, mainly as a result of increased personnel expenses, acquisitions and provisions for doubtful accounts.
The consolidated operating result (EBIT) for the first quarter was a loss of €10.2 million, an improvement of 7% over the same period last year, principally due to the higher Adjusted EBITDA.
Net financial income, including interest paid and received, along with other financing charges, amounted to a gain of €1.8 million during the first quarter of 2007, compared to €1.2 million in the same period of the previous year. The net result from the re-measurement of the investment in Infotech at fair value was a profit of €0.6 million, compared to a loss of €0.1 million the prior year.
Tax charges for the quarter were €0.5 million as compared to a charge of €0.9 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Tele Atlas’ consolidated after tax net loss during the first quarter of 2007 improved to €8.4 million, compared with a net loss of €11.0 million for the same period in 2006.
Cash Flow
Overall cash flow from operating activities for the first quarter of 2007 increased to an inflow of €9.6 million as compared to an inflow of €0.5 million during the same period during 2006 primarily as a result of increased Adjusted EBITDA and improvement in working capital movements.
Cash outflow from investing activities which included investments in tangible fixed assets of €3.6 million and capitalized databases and tools of €2.8 million decreased to €6.5 million from €9.3 million in the first quarter of 2006.
Personnel
As of March 31, 2007 Tele Atlas had 1,629 full time employees world wide (December 31, 2006 1,628).
First Quarter Operational Highlights
Personal Navigation
Tele Atlas provides digital maps and location based content to leading personal navigation brands such as TomTom, Mio, Navman and ViaMichelin.
TomTom remained Tele Atlas’s largest customer with 30% of revenue in the first quarter of 2007. During the quarter, Tele Atlas and TomTom executed an amended agreement for the supply of map products to TomTom’s personal navigation product line. Under the agreement Tele Atlas will supply maps to the new TomTom ONE XL regional and the TomTom ONE XL Europe which were launched during the quarter. Other TomTom navigation devices using Tele Atlas maps include the TomTom GO 910, 715, 710, 510, the One Regional, and the One Europe.
In February, Quantum, a provider of high-quality, innovative multimedia and mobile “Personal TV” devices, and AvMap, the Italian leader in satellite navigation systems, announced the launch of QTM 1000 Nav. This is one of the world’s first device to integrate portable TV and advanced satellite navigation technologies. The device will feature digital maps and content from Tele Atlas.
Enterprise and Government
Tele Atlas continues to be the leading digital map supplier to the enterprise and government segment.
In January, Tele Atlas announced an agreement to integrate MCH GeoPoints’ data within Tele Atlas’ digital maps and points of interest (POI) products. Through the agreement, federal, state and local governments and commercial enterprises such as insurance and utility companies will have access to information designed to assist with their map-based applications.
During the quarter the company also renewed contracts with El Paso Gas and the US Department of Health and Human Services in North America.
Coverage Advances, New Products and Innovations.
Tele Atlas announced the expansion of its digital map coverage in South America as part of its ongoing global expansion strategy and in response to increased demand from global customers seeking maps of all major countries. Coverage was increased significantly in Brazil with Tele Atlas Brazil maps now reaching more than 65 percent of the country’s population. The maps feature street-level map coverage for more than 1,000 municipalities including navigable data for more than 150 cities, such as Brasília, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo.
The availability of Tele Atlas Connect™ was announced during the quarter. Tele Atlas Connect™ provides basic mapping and routing functionalities for digital map coverage of more than 140 countries and is a complement to the company’s comprehensive MultiNet™ product which currently covers 64 countries. Tele Atlas Connect has already been selected by Nokia for the N95 multimedia device, the first product to leverage the data and help users initiate local searches all over the world.
During the first quarter, Tele Atlas launched a European truck transport product. Tele Atlas Logistics carries information on limits for vehicle height, width, length, and weight. In addition, the product offers a range of truck-specific points of interest including the locations of appropriate service stations, truck stops and truck wash facilities. The Tele Atlas Logistics database is planned to be commercially available in July 2007 for the main road networks of Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
The Company also launched Tele Atlas ContentLink, a Web-based program for content collection, integration and distribution that gives location-based application developers access to a wide range of specialized content and points of interest (POIs). Tele Atlas ContentLink is designed to streamline time-to-market by allowing developers to rapidly discover and obtain the latest content provided by publishers such as entertainment, lodging and services data.
Expansion into South East Asia is ongoing and underscored by the opening of offices in Singapore and Seoul, South Korea and database enhancements in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
Full Year 2007 Outlook
Previous 2007 full year guidance of approximately €315 million in revenues, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately €65 million and operating profit (EBIT) of approximately €3 million remains unchanged. These amounts exclude the impact of any acquisitions which may be completed in 2007 and unforeseen circumstances.
Subsequent to 2007, Tele Atlas’ current expectation is that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company can grow revenues in excess of 20% on an annual basis for the next several years and that Adjusted EBITDA for each year will increase by approximately 50% of incremental revenue.
This outlook is based on current circumstances, business estimates and expectations of future market and business, and is subject to revision based upon unforeseen circumstances.

These interim financial statements have been drawn up in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34. The accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with those used for drawing up the financial statements as at December 31, 2006, except for the changes in segment reporting which are explained under Note 1. There have been no significant new accounting pronouncements
The following changes were made with respect to the presentation of certain financial information starting January 1, 2007. Comparative information for 2006 has been restated consistently.
• Previously the Company reported two segments (Europe and North America) and allocated corporate costs to these two segments. Beginning 2007 the Company is reporting in three regional segments and a corporate segment. Corporate costs are no longer allocated to other segments. The EMEA segment includes Europe, Middle East and Africa. The Americas segment includes the USA, Canada, Mexico and South America. The APAC segment includes Asia and Australia. The Corporate segment includes all corporate technology, marketing and other support activities. Revenues are initially allocated to the operating segments, based on the geography of the map data. Subsequently, intra- company commissions are used between operating segments to reflect costs of the customer and technical support.
• Previously expenses related to co-marketing activities were presented in the statement of operations as part of cost of revenue. Starting 2007 these expenses are reported as part of operating expenses. The impact of this restatement was a reduction of cost of revenue for the first quarter of €1.9 million (2006: €1.2 million) and a similar increase in other operating expense.
• Capitalized databases and tools were previously presented in the statement of cash flows as a reduction to net cash from operating activities. Starting 2007 these items are reflected as a cash outflow from investing activities. Capitalized databases and tools for the first quarter of 2007 were €2.8 million (2006: €2.1 million).
