NAVTEQ CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
(1) Unaudited Financial Statements
NAVTEQ Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a leading provider of digital map data and other location-based content, including real-time traffic information used in a wide range of navigation, mapping and geographic-related applications, including products and services that provide maps, driving directions, turn-by-turn route guidance, fleet management and tracking and geographic information systems. These products and services are provided to end users by our customers on various platforms, including: self-contained hardware and software systems installed in vehicles; personal computing devices, such as personal navigation devices (PNDs) and mobile phones; server-based systems, including internet and wireless services; and paper media. Our traffic information is also provided to traditional radio and television stations, and federal, state, and local government entities.
The Company is engaged primarily in the creation, updating, enhancing, licensing and distribution of its geographic database and related location-based content for North America and Europe. The Companys geographic database is a digital representation of road transportation networks constructed to provide a high level of accuracy and the useful level of detail necessary to support route guidance products and similar applications. The Companys database is licensed to leading automotive electronics manufacturers, automotive manufacturers, developers of advanced transportation applications, developers of geographic-based information products and services, location-based service providers and other product and service providers. The Company is currently realizing revenue primarily from license fees charged to customers who incorporate the Companys database into their products and services and from advertising revenue derived from Traffic.com and The Map Network.
For advertising related revenue on radio and television stations, revenue is recognized when the advertisements are aired. Revenue from the Internet and wireless advertising is recognized over the period during which the advertisement is displayed or aired.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to United States Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Presentation
The Companys fiscal quarterly periods end on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end. The 2006 first quarter had 92 days and the 2007 first quarter had 91 days. The Companys fiscal year end is December 31.
Certain 2006 amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. This statement responds to investors requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurement on earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating the effect this statement will have on its financial statements.
6
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating the effect this statement will have on its financial statements.

(4) Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007 were calculated as follows:

Options to purchase 840 and 1,974 shares of common stock were outstanding at April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.
(5) Enterprise-wide Disclosures
The Company operates in one business segment and therefore does not report operating income, identifiable assets and/or other resources related to business segments. Revenues for geographic data of Europe, North America and Korea are attributed to Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Americas and Asia Pacific, respectively. Revenues for geographic data for Central and South America are attributed to Americas. Revenues for geographic data for countries outside of Europe, the Americas and Korea are attributed to EMEA, and are not material.

(7) Database Creation and Delivery Costs
Database creation and delivery costs include the costs of data collection and processing costs, direct distribution and other database-related costs. Data collection and processing costs of $44,964 and $52,819 for the quarters ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, respectively, consist of database creation and validation, costs to obtain information used to construct the database, ongoing costs for updating and enhancing the database content and costs related to the collection and processing of traffic data. Data collection and processing costs also include costs for the development of software as follows: (i) applications used internally to improve the effectiveness of database creation and updating activities, (ii) enhancements to internal applications that enable the Companys core database to operate with emerging technologies, and (iii) applications to facilitate usage of the Companys map database by customers. Data collection and processing costs are expensed as incurred, except costs of internal-use software, which are capitalized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 98-1 (SOP 98-1), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Accordingly, certain application development costs relating to internal-use software have been capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to four years. The Company capitalized $3,655 and $5,175 of internal-use software development costs during quarters ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, respectively. Included in database creation and updating costs is the amortization of internal-use software costs of $3,568 and $3,142 for the quarters ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, respectively.
Direct distribution costs of $16,013 and $17,711 for the quarters ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, respectively, include direct costs related to reproduction of the database for licensing, professional services, and per copy sales. Database licensing and distribution costs are expensed as incurred.
Other database creation and delivery costs of $1,874 and $3,725 for the quarters ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, respectively, include hardware, software and advertising inventory purchased for resale.
(8) Deferred Revenue
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a five-year license agreement to provide map database information to a customer. Under the license agreement, the customer paid $30,000 during the second quarter of 2004 related to license fees for the first three years of the agreement. The customer can use up to $10,000 of the credits in each of 2004, 2005 and 2006. These credits had been completely used by the customer as of December 31, 2006. The customer paid $20,000 in the first quarter of 2007 related to the license agreement and the customer can use up to $10,000 of the credits in each of 2007 and 2008.
(9) Income Taxes
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty-percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and requires increased disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company did not record any cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings as a result of adopting FIN 48.
As of January 1, 2007, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $6,342 which, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective tax rate. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, no interest or penalties have been accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change by December 31, 2007.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities from the following major tax jurisdictions for the years prior to: (i) 1989 with respect to the U.S. federal jurisdiction; (ii) with few exceptions, 1996 for various U.S. state jurisdictions; and (iii) 2005 with respect to the Netherlands.
(10) Business Combinations
On March 6, 2007, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Traffic.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Traffic.com), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) dated November 5, 2006 by and among the
9
Company, Traffic.com, NAVTEQ Holdings B.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and NAVTEQ Holdings Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Subsidiary), under which Traffic.com was merged with and into Merger Subsidiary (the Merger). Merger Subsidiary continued as the surviving corporation under the name Traffic.com, Inc. Under the Merger Agreement, each share outstanding of Traffic.com common stock was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof (subject to certain conditions, including those pertaining to pro-ration): (i) $8.00 in cash, without interest or (ii) 0.235 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The election of cash or stock was subject to a limit on total cash consideration of approximately $49 million (minus the cash value of dissenting shares, if any) and a total stock consideration equal to approximately 4.3 million shares of the Companys common stock (less the shares of the Companys common stock issued to holders of warrants to purchase Traffic.com stock that were exchanged for NAVTEQ common stock based on the per share stock consideration.)
This acquisition was made to diversify the Companys product portfolio and customer base and to expand the data content the Company is able to provide. The total purchase price for Traffic.com was $185,544, which included the cost basis of previously owned shares of Traffic.com of $1,998. Additionally, at the time of the acquisition, Traffic.com had a liability related to deferred license fees to the Company of approximately $9,015. To complete the acquisition, the Company issued 3,940 shares, including 57 shares related to a sale bonus paid to the former Chief Executive Officer of Traffic.com. These shares were valued at $124,708, which was based on the average stock price of the Companys common stock for a period beginning two days before the announcement of the merger and ending two days after the announcement of the merger. The Company also paid $49,008 in cash and assumed options and warrants that were converted into the right to purchase 139 shares of NAVTEQ stock, which were valued at $763. In addition, the Company paid $9,067 in direct costs to acquire the shares of Traffic.com including $2,125 to the former Chief Executive Officer of Traffic.com for a sale bonus and severance. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recorded $264,196 in assets and $78,652 in liabilities. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, primarily due to the timing of the acquisition in relation to the end of the quarter. The operating results of Traffic.com are included in the Companys results from the acquisition date of March 6, 2007 through the end of the first quarter of 2007. Included in the total assets were the following intangible assets with their values in thousands and their estimated useful lives:

(11) Litigation
On April 22, 2005, Tele Atlas N.V. and Tele Atlas North America (Tele Atlas) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that the Company violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, Section 3 of the Clayton Act, and Sections 16720, 16727 and 17200 of the California Business and Professions Code, and that the Company intentionally interfered with Tele Atlass contractual relations and prospective economic advantage with third parties, by allegedly excluding Tele Atlas from the market for digital map data for use in navigation system applications in the United States through exclusionary and predatory practices. On August 16, 2005, Tele Atlas filed an amended complaint based on these same causes of action. Specifically, in its amended complaint, Tele Atlas alleges that the Company controls a predominant share of variously defined markets for digital map data and has entered into exclusive contracts with digital map data customers for the purpose of acquiring or maintaining an illegal monopoly in these alleged markets. Tele Atlas also contends that these allegedly exclusive contracts have interfered with Tele Atlas current and prospective business relationships and amount to unfair competition under California state law. In addition, Tele Atlas alleges that the Company, through its license under U.S. Patent No. 5,161,886, control a predominant share of the alleged relevant technology market consisting of methods for displaying portions of a topographic map from an apparent perspective view outside and above a vehicle in the United States, and allegedly have entered into patent licenses and/or other arrangements in a manner that violates the aforesaid laws. On November 2, 2005, the Court dismissed some, but not all, of Tele Atlas claims for failure to state valid causes of action. On November 22, 2005, Tele Atlas filed a second amended complaint based on the same causes of actions and essentially the same allegations as in its first amended complaint and the Company filed an answer denying Tele Atlas claims. On February 19, 2007, Tele Atlas filed a Motion for Leave to Amend and Supplement Second Amended Complaint, seeking to file a third amended complaint based on the same causes of action and allegations as in its second amended complaint. Tele Atlass proposed third amended complaint adds allegations regarding an additional defined market for digital map data and regarding the Companys control, through the Companys U.S. Patent No. 6,735,515, of a technology market consisting of methods and systems designed to continuously provide driver assistance systems with updated data about paths along roads onto which a motor vehicle can travel from its current position, and use of such control to enter into a patent licenses and/or other agreements in a manner that violates federal and state antitrust laws. Tele Atlas seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, unspecified monetary, exemplary and treble damages, and costs and attorneys fees of suit. Based on a review of the second and draft third amended complaint, the Company believes that the allegations are without merit. The Company intends to take all necessary steps to vigorously defend itself against this action; however, because this matter is in a very early stage, the Company cannot predict its outcome or potential effect, if any, on the Companys business, financial position or results of operations. A negative outcome could adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition. Even if the Company prevails in this matter, the Company may incur significant costs in connection with its defense, experience a diversion of management time and attention, realize a negative impact on its reputation with its customers and face similar governmental and private actions based on these allegations.
On August 22, 2006, Traffic.com, a subsidiary of the Company as of March 6, 2007, formally notified Road Runner Planning & Consulting Inc. (RRPC) that RRPC was in breach of its agreement with Traffic.com concerning its role as construction manager for deployment of Traffic.coms electronic highway traffic sensor equipment. The breaches Traffic.com cited included failure to adhere to contractually allotted time frames; failure to obtain necessary permits and licenses; providing defective parts and materials; refusing to provide valid lien wavers; and threatening to cease performance. On August 23, 2006, Traffic.com commenced an arbitration proceeding against RRPC, seeking damages, based principally on such breaches. Based upon their failure to cure the breaches, on September 12, 2006 Traffic.com terminated the agreement. In lieu of filing counterclaims in connection with the arbitration Traffic.com filed, RRPC filed a separate arbitration matter on August 23, 2006 claiming, among other things, that Traffic.com breached the agreement by terminating the agreement, and seeking damages. Both arbitration matters were filed with American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and have now been consolidated into one action. The arbitration proceeding is in the early stages. At this time it is impossible to predict the outcome of such arbitration. Traffic.com believes the claims and defenses asserted by RRPC are without merit and that the terms of the agreement support Traffic.coms claims against RRPC. Traffic.com will pursue all viable claims and defenses against RRPC.
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not believe that any of these other legal proceedings or claims will materially affect the Companys business, financial position or results of operations.

Item
2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this document. Certain information contained in this discussion and analysis and presented elsewhere in this document, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider the various risk factors identified herein, including without limitation, Part II Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report and in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading provider of comprehensive digital map data and location-based content, including traffic information, for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices and Internet-based mapping applications. Our map database and related content enables providers of these products and services to offer dynamic navigation, route planning, location-based information services and other geographic information-based products and services to consumer and commercial users. In addition, we have a traffic and logistics data collection network in which we process traffic incident and event information, along with comprehensive traffic flow data collected through our network of roadside sensors, in order to provide detailed traffic information, including specific and customized speeds, travel times and delay times, to radio and television stations, Internet sites and mobile device users.
Acquisition of Traffic.com
On March 6, 2007, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Traffic.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Traffic.com), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among us, Traffic.com, NAVTEQ Holdings B.V. and NAVTEQ Holdings Delaware, Inc. dated November 5, 2006. Under the Merger Agreement, each share outstanding of Traffic.com common stock was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof (subject to certain conditions, including those pertaining to pro-ration): (i) $8.00 in cash, without interest or (ii) 0.235 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The election of cash or stock was subject to a limit on total cash consideration of approximately $49 million (minus the cash value of dissenting shares, if any) and a total stock consideration equal to approximately 4.3 million shares of our common stock (less the shares of our common stock issued to holders of warrants to purchase Traffic.com stock that were exchanged for our common stock based on the per share stock consideration.)
This acquisition was made to diversify our product portfolio and customer base and to expand the information we are able to provide. The total purchase price for Traffic.com was $185,544, which included the cost basis of previously owned shares of Traffic.com of $1,998. Additionally, at the time of the acquisition, Traffic.com had a liability related to deferred license fees to us of approximately $9,015. To complete the acquisition, we issued 3,940 shares, including 57 shares related to a sale bonus paid to the former Chief Executive Officer of Traffic.com. These shares issued were valued at $124,708, which was based on the average stock price of our common stock for a period beginning two days before the announcement of the merger and ending two days after the announcement of the merger. We also paid $49,008 in cash and assumed options and warrants that were converted into the right to purchase 139 shares of our stock, which were valued at $763. In addition, we paid $9,067 in direct costs to acquire the shares of Traffic.com, including $2,125 to the former Chief Executive Officer of Traffic.com for a sale bonus and severance. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, we recorded $264,196 in assets and $78,652 in liabilities. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, primarily due to the timing of the acquisition in relation to the end of the quarter. The operating results of Traffic.com are included in our results from the acquisition date of March 6, 2007 through the end of the first quarter of 2007.
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily through the licensing of our database in EMEA and Americas. The largest portion of our revenue comes from digital map data used in self-contained hardware and software systems installed in vehicles (in-dash systems.)
We believe that, in addition to automobile market conditions in general and automobile sales mix, there are two key factors that affect our performance with respect to this revenue: the number of automobiles sold for which navigation systems are either standard or an option (adoption) and the rate at which car buyers select navigation systems as an option (take-rate.)
We believe the adoption of navigation systems in automobiles in Europe has stabilized at over 80%, but that the adoption of such systems in North America continues to increase. In addition, the take-rates have increased during recent years in both Europe and North America and we expect that these will continue to increase for at least the next few years as a result of market acceptance by our customers of products and services that use our database and anticipated reductions in the price of in-dash systems. However,
12
increased adoption in North America also has a dampening effect on overall take rates as a number of inexpensive models with relatively lower take rates offer the option for the first time. As the adoption of navigation systems in automobiles increases in North America, and as the take-rates in both North America and Europe increase, we believe each of these can have a positive effect on our revenue, subject to our ability to maintain our license fee structure and customer base.
In addition, the market for products and services that use our database is evolving, and we believe that much of our future success depends upon the development of a wider variety of products and services that use our database. This includes growth in location-enabled mobile devices, such as mobile phones, personal navigation devices (PNDs), personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other products and services that use digital map data. Our revenue growth is driven, in part, by the rate at which consumers and businesses purchase these products and services, which in turn is affected by the availability and functionality of such products and services. We believe that both of these factors have increased in recent years and will continue to increase for at least the next few years. However, even if these products and services continue to be developed and marketed by our customers and gain market acceptance, we may not be able to license the database at prices that will enable us to maintain profitable operations. Moreover, the market for map information is highly competitive, and competitive pressures in this area may result in price reductions for our database, which could materially adversely affect our business and prospects.
We expect that revenue derived from the use of our data in location-enabled mobile devices will represent an increasing percentage of our total revenue in the next few years. As a result, our total revenue will likely have a more seasonal pattern with first quarter revenue generally being relatively weaker than other quarters and fourth quarter revenue generally being relatively stronger than other quarters. Since we are in the early stages of this shift in our business, our ability to forecast revenue, particularly in the fourth quarter, may be limited, and may result in material differences between any forecasted operating results and our actual results.
We have also experienced, and expect to continue to experience, difficulty in maintaining the license fees we charge for our digital map database due to a number of factors, including automotive and mobile device customer expectations of continually lower license fees each year and a highly competitive environment. In addition, governmental and quasi-governmental entities are increasingly making map data information with higher quality and greater coverage available free of charge or at lower prices. Customers may determine that the data offered by such entities is an adequate alternative to our map database for some of their applications. Additionally, the availability of this data may encourage new entrants into the market by decreasing the cost to build a map database similar to ours. In response to these pressures, we are focused on:
· Offering a digital map database with superior quality, detail and coverage;
· Providing value-added services to our customers such as distribution services, and technical and marketing support; and
· Enhancing and extending our product offering by adding additional content to our map database.
We also believe that in the foreseeable future the effect on our revenue and profitability as a result of any decreases in our license fees will be offset by volume increases as the market for products and services that use our database grows, although we cannot assure you that these increases will occur.
In addition to revenues from our database, we receive a portion of our revenues from the sale of advertising on radio and television stations. The Company receives airtime inventory from radio and television stations in exchange for traffic information and services. We expect these revenues to increase in the future as we increase the depth of our nationwide traffic and logistics data collection network and our proprietary Traffic Information Management System.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised of database creation and delivery costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Database creation and delivery costs primarily include the purchase and licensing of source maps, employee compensation and third party fees related to the construction, maintenance and delivery of our geographic database and related location based content including real time traffic data. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include employee compensation, marketing, facilities and other administrative expenses.
Our operating expenses have increased as we have made investments related to the development, improvement and commercialization of our database. We anticipate that operating expenses will continue to increase as our growth and development activities continue, including further development and enhancement of our database and increasing our sales and marketing efforts.
Cash and Liquidity
Prior to the year ended December 31, 2002, we had been unprofitable on an annual basis since our inception, and, as of April 1, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $156,665.
13
As of April 1, 2007, our balance of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was $347,469, compared to our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2006 in the amount of $322,531, which represents an increase of $24,938.
In March 2007, we utilized approximately $46,368, net of the cash acquired, in cash to fund the Traffic.com acquisition including direct costs of $9,067. The remainder of the merger consideration was paid in shares of our common stock.
Foreign Currency Risk
Material portions of our revenue and expenses have been generated by our European operations, and we expect that our European operations will account for a material portion of our revenue and expenses in the future. Substantially all of our international expenses and revenue are denominated in foreign currencies, principally the euro. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in Europe and other foreign markets in which we have operations. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of those currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar have caused and will continue to cause dollar-translated amounts to vary from one period to another. In addition to currency translation risks, we incur currency transaction risk whenever one of our operating subsidiaries enters into either a purchase or a sales transaction using a currency other than the local currency in which it receives revenue and pays expenses.
For the quarter ended April 1, 2007, we generated approximately 56% of our net revenue and incurred approximately 42% of our total expenses in foreign currencies. Our European operations reported revenue of $87,301 for the quarter ended April 1, 2007. Due to an increase in the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar, as compared to the first quarter of 2006, European revenue was approximately $6,925 higher than what would have been reported had the exchange rate not increased. Based on the results of the quarter ended April 1, 2007, every one cent change in the exchange rate of the euro against the dollar resulted in approximately a $670 change in our quarterly revenue and approximately a $320 change in our quarterly operating income. Our analysis does not consider the implications that such fluctuations could have on the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment in the United States or Europe.
Customer Concentration
Material portions of our revenue have been generated by a small number of customers, and we expect that a small number of customers will account for a material portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable future. For the quarter ended April 1, 2007, we had two customers which each represented approximately 12% of our revenues. Our top fifteen customers accounted for approximately 71% of our revenue for the quarter ended April 1, 2007.
The majority of our significant customers are automobile manufacturers and suppliers to automobile manufacturers. Conditions in the market for new automobiles generally and conditions affecting specific automobile manufacturers and suppliers may affect sales of vehicle navigation systems incorporating our database. Fluctuations in the automotive market have occurred in the past and are likely to occur in the future. To the extent that our future revenue depends materially on sales of new automobiles equipped with navigation systems enabled by digital maps, our business may be vulnerable to these fluctuations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that, of the significant policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, the following are critical accounting estimates, which may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with our Audit Committee, and our Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure.
Revenue Recognition
We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from licensing our database. We provide our data to end-users through multiple distribution methods, primarily media or server-based. For example, our customers produce copies of our data on various media, such as CD-ROMs, DVDs and memory cards. Our customers then distribute those media to end-users directly and indirectly through retail establishments, automobile manufacturers and their dealers, and other redistributors. The media may be sold by our customer separately from its products, bundled with its products or otherwise incorporated into its products. We also produce copies of our data and distribute those copies to end-users both directly and indirectly through automobile manufacturers and their dealers. Additionally,
14
some of our customers store our data on servers and distribute information, such as map images and driving directions, derived from our data over the Internet and through other communication networks.
Revenue is recognized net of provisions for estimated uncollectible amounts and anticipated returns. Our map database license agreements provide evidence of our arrangements with our customers, and identify key contract terms related to pricing, delivery and payment. We do not recognize revenue from licensing our database until delivery has occurred and collection is considered probable. We provide for estimated product returns at the time of revenue recognition based on our historical experience for such returns, which have not been material. As a result, we do not believe there is significant risk of recognizing revenue prematurely.
For revenue distributed through the media-based method, license fees from usage (including license fees in excess of the nonrefundable minimum fees) are recognized in the period in which they are reported by the customer to us. Prepaid licensing fees are recognized in the period in which the distributor or customer reports that it has shipped our database to the end-user. Revenue for direct sales is recognized when the database is shipped to the end-user.
For revenue distributed through the server-based method, revenue includes amounts that are associated with nonrefundable minimum licensing fees, license fees from usage (including license fees in excess of nonrefundable minimum fees), recognition of prepaid licensing fees from our distributors and customers and direct sales to end-users. Nonrefundable minimum annual licensing fees are received upfront and represent a minimum guarantee of fees to be received from the licensee (for sales made by that party to end-users) during the period of the arrangement. We generally cannot determine the amount of up-front license fees that have been earned during a given period until we receive a report from the customer. Accordingly, we amortize the total up-front fee paid by the customer ratably over the term of the arrangement. When we determine that the actual amount of licensing fees earned exceeds the total minimum guarantee (because the customer reports licensing fees to us that exceed this amount), we recognize the additional licensing revenue.
For advertising related revenue on radio and television stations, revenue is recognized when the advertisements are aired. Revenue from the Internet and wireless advertising is recognized over the period during which the advertisement is displayed or aired.
Licensing arrangements that entitle the customer to unspecified updates over a period of time are recognized as revenue ratably over the period of the arrangement.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We record allowances for estimated losses from uncollectible accounts based upon specifically-identified amounts that we believe to be uncollectible. In addition, we record additional allowances based on historical experience and our assessment of the general financial condition of our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowances may be required.
We have a number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in the creditworthiness of one of these customers or other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from these customers could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations in the period in which these changes or events occur.
The allowance for doubtful accounts as reflected in our consolidated balance sheet reflects our best estimate of the amount of our gross accounts receivable that will not be collected. Our actual level of bad debts has been relatively stable in recent years, which we believe is due to our practice of requiring customer prepayments in certain instances together with prompt identification of potential problem accounts. We continue to refine our estimates for bad debts as our business grows, and while our credit losses have historically been within both our expectations and the provision recorded, fluctuations in credit loss rates in the future may affect our financial results.
Database Creation, Delivery and Software Development Costs
We have invested significant amounts in creating and updating our database and developing related software applications for internal use. Database creation and delivery costs consist of database creation and updating, database licensing and delivery, and database-related software development. Database creation and updating costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include the direct costs of database creation and validation, costs to obtain information used to construct the database, and ongoing costs for updating and enhancing the database content. Database licensing and delivery costs include the direct costs related to reproduction of the database for licensing and per-copy sales and shipping and handling costs. Database-related software development costs consist primarily of costs for the development of software as follows: (i) applications used internally to improve the effectiveness of database creation and updating activities, (ii) enhancements to internal applications that enable our core database to operate with emerging technologies, and (iii) applications to facilitate customer use of our database. Costs of internal-use software are accounted for in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Accordingly, certain application development costs relating to internal-use software have been capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. It is possible that our estimates of the remaining
15
economic life of the technology could change from the current amortization periods. In that event, impairment charges or shortened useful lives of internal-use software could be required.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
As of December 31, 2006 and April 1, 2007, our long-lived assets consisted of property and equipment, internal-use software and acquired intangible assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Additionally, goodwill is reviewed on at least an annual basis as well to determine if our recorded goodwill amounts are impaired in any manner. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Significant management judgment is required in determining the fair value of our long-lived assets to measure impairment, including projections of future discounted cash flows.
Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets
The assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences, as determined pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Managements evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets must consider both positive and negative evidence, and the weight given to the potential effects of positive and negative evidence is based on the extent to which it can be objectively verified. After evaluating the available evidence, management determined that sufficient objective evidence existed to conclude that it was more likely than not that the majority of deferred tax assets would be realized.
As of April 1, 2007, we had a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $2,785 related to Traffic.com and Canadian net operating loss carryforwards, and research and experimental tax credits.
We cannot assure you that we will continue to experience taxable income at levels consistent with recent performance in some or all of the jurisdictions in which we do business. In the event that actual taxable income differs from our projections of taxable income by jurisdiction, changes in the valuation allowance, which could affect our financial position and net income, may be required.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Quarters Ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007
Operating Income, Net Income and Earnings Per Share of Common Stock. Our operating income increased from $20,723 during the first quarter of 2006 to $38,343 in the first quarter of 2007, due primarily to revenue growth. This revenue growth was partially offset by higher operating expenses. Our net income increased from $16,184 in the first quarter of 2006 to $30,249 in the first quarter of 2007. Basic earnings per share of common stock were $0.18 and $0.32 for the first quarters of 2006 and 2007, respectively. Diluted earnings per share of common stock were $0.17 and $0.31 for the first quarters of 2006 and 2007, respectively.
The following table highlights changes in selected financial statement line items, which are material to our results of operations. An analysis of the factors affecting each line is provided in the paragraphs that appear after the table.

Net Revenue. The increase in net revenue was due to an increase in database licensing, resulting primarily from increased unit sales to customers. Growth occurred in all geographic regions during the first quarter of 2007. EMEA revenue increased 14.0% from $76,604 in the first quarter of 2006 to $87,301 in the first quarter of 2007. Americas revenue increased 61.2% from $43,918 in the first quarter of 2006 to $70,782 in the first quarter of 2007. EMEA and Americas revenue both increased primarily due to an increase in unit sales to vehicle navigation system vendors, automobile manufacturers and mobile device manufacturers. In addition, advertising revenue of
16
$6,227 was recorded in the quarter ended April 1, 2007, primarily related to the Traffic.com acquisition. Differences in foreign currency translation increased revenue within EMEA operations by approximately $6,925 during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, EMEA revenue would have grown 4.9%. Approximately 16% of our revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was from one customer. We had two customers which each represented approximately 12% of our revenues for the first quarter of 2007.
Database Creation and Delivery Costs. The increase in database creation and delivery costs was due primarily to geographic expansion and quality improvements. The capitalization of $3,655 and $5,175 in the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively, for internal-use software reduced our expenses in those periods. An unfavorable foreign currency translation effect within EMEA operations increased expenses in the first quarter of 2007 by approximately $2,549, when compared to the first quarter of 2006.
Approximately 52% and 57% of our database creation costs for the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively, were comprised of personnel, software amortization, stock-based compensation, occupancy, and other business infrastructure expenses. Our direct delivery costs were approximately 32% of our database creation and delivery costs in the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively. Database creation and delivery costs for The Map Network, which was acquired in December 2006, and Traffic.com were approximately $5,258 in the first quarter of 2007.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to our investments in growing our worldwide sales force and expanding the breadth of our product offerings and expenses related to improving our infrastructure to support future growth. Stock-based compensation expense of $3,219 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2006, compared to $3,563 in the first quarter of 2007. An unfavorable foreign currency translation effect increased expenses within EMEA operations by approximately $1,277 in the first quarter of 2007, when compared to the first quarter of 2006.
Approximately 75% and 72% of our selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively, were comprised of personnel, stock-based compensation, occupancy and other business infrastructure expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for The Map Network and Traffic.com were approximately $3,743 in the first quarter of 2007.
Other Income. Interest income increased from $2,260 in 2006 to $4,080 primarily due to higher average investment balances in 2007, as well as higher percentage returns on invested cash.
Income Tax Expense. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to an increase in operating income in 2007 compared to 2006. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2007 was 28.2% as compared to 32.0% in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to legislation in the Netherlands that reduced the 2007 statutory corporate income tax rate to 25.5%. The 2006 statutory corporate income tax rate in the Netherlands was 29.6%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since 2002, we have financed our operations through cash generated from operating income. As of April 1, 2007, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $347,469 compared to our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2006 of $322,531, which represents an increase of $24,938.
On November 30, 2006, we extended and increased, through our operating subsidiary for North America, our revolving line of credit that is now scheduled to mature on December 1, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the line of credit, we may borrow up to $50,000 at an interest rate of either U.S. LIBOR plus 0.5% or the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%. We are required to pay to the bank a quarterly facility fee of 7.5 basis points per annum on the average daily unused commitment. We have guaranteed our operating subsidiarys obligations under this facility. As of April 1, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings against this line of credit.
Since the first quarter of 2002, our operations have continued to produce positive cash flows. The cash flows have been driven by increased demand for our products and our ability to deliver these products profitably and collect receivables from our customers effectively. These funds have allowed us to make investments required to grow the business and have provided us with excess cash. Since August 2004, we have invested cash balances in excess of our short-term operational needs in cash equivalents and marketable securities of high credit quality.
We believe that our current cash resources on hand, temporary excess cash deposited in cash equivalents and marketable securities, and cash flows from operations, together with funds available from the revolving line of credit, will be adequate to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements at our current level of operations for at least the next twelve months. We do, however, consider additional debt and equity financing from time to time and may enter into these financings in the future.
17
In March 2007, we utilized approximately $46,368, net of the cash acquired, in cash to fund the Traffic.com acquisition including direct costs of $9,067. The remainder of the merger consideration was paid in shares of our common stock.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $7,703 during the quarter ended April 1, 2007. The changes in cash and cash equivalents were as follows for the quarters ended:

Operating Activities
In the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively, we generated positive cash flow from operations. In both periods, cash flow from operations was driven by positive operating results, which in turn was driven by increased demand for our products. Accrued payroll and related liabilities decreased $7,307 and $6,547 in the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively, primarily due to payments of annual incentive compensation obligations accrued in the applicable previous year. Accounts receivable decreased by $33,003 in 2007 due to strong collections during the first quarter of 2007. Deferred revenue increased by $11,221 due primarily to the receipt of a prepayment from a customer of $20,000, offset by the recognition of revenue.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities has primarily consisted of capitalized costs related to software developed for internal use, investments in marketable securities and capital expenditures. We experienced temporary excess funds that were provided from operations in the first quarter of 2007. We invested those excess funds in cash equivalents and marketable securities. During the first three months of 2006 and 2007, we invested an additional net $42,074 and $31,688, respectively, in marketable securities.
Costs for software developed for internal use have been capitalized in accordance with SOP 98-1 and are related to applications used internally to improve the effectiveness of database creation and updating activities, enhancements to internal applications that enable our core database to operate with emerging technologies and applications to facilitate usage of our map database by customers. Capitalized costs totaled $3,655 and $5,175 for the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively. We expect the capitalized costs related to software developed for internal use to be approximately $15,000 to $17,000 for the full year of 2007.
We have continued to invest in property and equipment to meet the demands of growing our business by expanding our facilities and providing the necessary infrastructure. Capital expenditures totaled $2,188 and $6,602 during the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively. We expect total capital expenditures to total approximately $60,000 for the full year of 2007. This higher amount is related to our move to a new corporate headquarters during 2007 and funding the capital expenditures of Traffic.com.
We had payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $4,996 and $46,368 during the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively. The payments in 2006 related to assets purchased in Mexico while the 2007 payments related to our purchase of Traffic.com.
Financing Activities
In the first quarter of 2006 and 2007, we have recorded $4,060 and $2,233, respectively, related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to our stock incentive plans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. This statement responds to investors requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurement on earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. We are evaluating the effect this statement will have on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities Including an
18
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. We are evaluating the effect this statement will have on our financial statements.
19
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We invest our cash in highly liquid cash equivalents and marketable securities. A percentage point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $2,300 increase or decrease to our interest income on an annual basis depending on the direction of the interest rate change.
Material portions of our revenue and expenses have been generated by our European operations, and we expect that our European operations will account for a material portion of our revenue and expenses in the future. In addition, substantially all of our expenses and revenue related to our international operations are denominated in foreign currencies, principally the euro.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 2004, as amended (the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 1, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of April 1, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing such reasonable assurance.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter (the first quarter of 2007) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
With respect to our recently acquired company, Traffic.com, if we do not achieve success with its recently expanded business model into Internet advertising and other interactive media, our ability to grow Traffic.coms revenues would be adversely affected.
Traffic.coms revenue has historically been derived primarily by selling the advertising inventory it receives in exchange for the provision of its traffic services to radio and television stations. Substantially all of Traffic.coms revenue from its enhanced website and from personalized wireless services that it offers through its website will be derived from advertising customers. Traffic.coms success in attracting Internet advertisers will depend, in large part, on its ability to significantly increase the number of visitors to its website, the number of its registered users and the volume of its personalized wireless services delivered to consumers. Traffic.com has no significant operating history in conducting its business through the Internet or in attracting Internet advertisers. To date, Traffic.com has had minimal revenue from Internet and wireless advertising. If we fail to significantly increase the number of visitors to Traffic.coms website and the related advertising revenue, our ability to grow Traffic.coms business will be adversely affected.
If federal, state or local government agencies decide not to enter into agreements with Traffic.com or terminate existing agreements with Traffic.com, the expansion and the geographic scope of Traffic.coms business could be limited.
Traffic.coms right to construct its sensor network in various metropolitan areas and to own the traffic flow data produced by this network is derived from agreements that it has with the U.S. federal government and state and local governments. Traffic.com is the principal subcontractor under a competitively bid contract with the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) and has agreements with state and local agencies under which it provides them with traffic data from its sensor network in metropolitan areas. If the federal government were to terminate Traffic.coms contract for its failure to perform, Traffic.coms ability to expand its sensor network into additional metropolitan areas would be harmed. If Traffic.coms reputation or relationship with state and local government agencies were impaired or if one or more state and local government agencies otherwise ceased doing business with it, Traffic.com may be unable to continue to collect traffic data for one or more metropolitan areas in which its sensor network is currently deployed.
As of April 15, 2007, Traffic.com had formal agreements with state and local agencies that enable it to install, operate and maintain its sensor network on public highways in 26 major metropolitan areas. Traffic.coms agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation also provides for the integration of their probe data into Traffic.coms Traffic Information Management System in Salt Lake City. In addition, Traffic.com has agreements with state and local agencies that enable it to acquire government data that it uses to produce traffic reports. Traffic.com needs similar agreements to enable it to install, operate and maintain its sensors on public highways, and to acquire government data in additional metropolitan areas.
Among the factors that could materially adversely affect Traffic.coms federal and state and local government contracting business are:
· budgetary constraints affecting government spending generally, and annual changes in fiscal policies or available funding;
· failure by it to comply with the requirements of the agreements, including failure to comply with data specifications and performance measures under its subcontract with the U.S. DOT, which could lead to various remedies being pursued against it, including contract termination, liquidated damages or a local public agency having the right to buy from it all system hardware including, among other items, sensor poles, solar panels and any components from system upgrades for a particular deployment area at fair market value;
· changes in government programs, priorities, procurement policies, permit policies or requirements;
· new legislation, regulations or government policy changes on the nature and amount of services the government may obtain from private contractors; and
21
· delays in the payment of its invoices by government payment offices due to problems with, or upgrades to, government information systems, or for other reasons.
These or other factors could cause governmental agencies to exercise their right to not enter into agreements, to terminate agreements or to not exercise options to renew agreements, any of which could prevent the expansion and limit the geographic scope of Traffic.coms business.
Traffic.com derives a significant portion of its revenue from a limited number of advertisers. If we are unable to maintain these advertiser relationships or attract additional advertisers, or if there is a general downturn in advertising activity, Traffic.coms revenue will be adversely affected.
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006, revenue from Traffic.coms top five advertisers accounted for approximately 19.4% , 18.6%, and 14.7% respectively, of its total revenue. Although Traffic.coms top five advertisers may change from year to year, we anticipate that a limited number of advertisers will continue to represent a significant percentage of its revenue for the foreseeable future. In addition, although Traffic.com has had repeat business from many of its key advertisers, the majority of these arrangements do not obligate these key advertisers to make any minimum or specified level of purchases and the terms of these agreements may change from year to year. Therefore, Traffic.coms relationships with these key advertisers may not continue in the future, and Traffic.com generally is not guaranteed any minimum level of revenue from them. The loss of one or more of Traffic.coms large advertisers without replacement by other advertisers of similar size, or fewer or smaller orders, would adversely affect Traffic.coms revenue. If we were to fail to attract other large customers to replace this revenue or if we did not increase revenue from existing customers, Traffic.coms future revenue would not reach or exceed its historical levels. Further, spending on advertising tends to decline during an economic recession or downturn. As a result, Traffic.coms advertising revenue is likely to be adversely affected by a recession or downturn in the United States economy, the economy of an individual geographic market in which it derives significant advertising revenue or other events or circumstances that adversely affect advertising activity.
The issuance of shares of our common stock to Traffic.com stockholders as a result of our acquisition of Traffic.com and charges associated with the acquisition may have a negative impact on our earnings per share.
As a result of the acquisition of Traffic.com, approximately 3.9 million shares of our common stock have been issued to Traffic.com stockholders, including 57,443 shares issued to Robert Verratti, the former Chief Executive Officer of Traffic.com, pursuant to a bonus payable to him in connection with the acquisition. Based on the increased number of our shares outstanding following the acquisition, Traffic.coms historical operating losses, the anticipated accounting charges related to the acquisition and the potential for additional costs associated with integrating Traffic.com into our business, the acquisition may result in lower earnings per share than would have been earned by us in the absence of the acquisition. We expect that over time the acquisition will yield cost and revenue synergies and other benefits to us such that the acquisition will ultimately be accretive to earnings per share. However, we cannot assure you that an increase in earnings per share will be achieved. In order to achieve increases in earnings per share as a result of the acquisition, we will, among other things, need to increase Traffic.coms revenues, including significantly growing the business of providing traffic data to new media distribution channels (such as Internet, wireless and in-vehicle navigation applications) and the corresponding advertising revenue associated therewith, successfully integrate Traffic.coms operations into our business and reduce Traffic.coms historic increases in operating expenses.
The market for products and services incorporating our map database and the market for Internet and wireless advertising is evolving and its rate of growth is uncertain.
Our success depends upon the availability and functionality of our customers products and services, and our customers abilities to successfully market and sell their products and services incorporating our database. Continued growth in the adoption of route guidance products in the automotive industry and in the consumer mobile device industry (in products such as mobile phones, PDAs and PNDs), technological improvements in wireless devices, such as inclusion of GPS capabilities in mobile devices and increases in functional memory, and continued development by our current and potential customers of dynamic navigation, route planning, location-based services, asset tracking and other geographic-related products and services incorporating our database, are critical to our future growth. If our customers do not continue to successfully develop and market new products and services incorporating our database, or the products that our customers develop and market do not meet consumer expectations in terms of functionality, price and quality, our revenue and operating results will be adversely affected. Even if these products and services continue to be developed and marketed by our customers and gain market acceptance, we may not be able to license the database at prices that will enable us to maintain profitable operations.
Growth in the market for vehicle navigation products and services historically has occurred first in Europe and then in North America. If the market growth in North America is not consistent with the growth we have experienced in Europe, our ability to grow our revenue will be adversely affected. In addition, we expect that the retail price for vehicle navigation products and services will significantly decrease, which will result in a more affordable price for consumers and a higher volume of sales of such products and
22
services. This decrease in retail price has not occurred as quickly as we had expected, and the delay or lack of such decreases in the future would adversely affect our future growth.
With respect to the Internet and wireless services offered by Traffic.com through its enhanced website and the websites of its customers, it is difficult to predict their demand and market acceptance. The placement of advertisements on Traffic.coms website or embedded in its wireless services, particularly by those entities that have historically relied upon traditional media for advertising, requires the acceptance of new ways of conducting business, measuring success and evaluating new advertising products and services. Such advertisers may determine that advertising on Traffic.coms website or in its wireless services is less effective for promoting their products and services than traditional advertising media. Further, new technologies may be developed that can block Traffic.com from displaying Internet advertisements on its website, or including them in its personalized messages. The market for Internet and wireless advertising may not continue to grow or become sustainable. If the market for Internet and wireless advertising fails to continue to develop or develops more slowly than we expect, Traffic.coms business and results of operations could be harmed, which in turn could harm our business and results of operations.
Our product offering is not diversified and if we attempt to diversify, we may not be successful.
A substantial portion of our revenue is attributable to the licensing of our map database for route guidance applications. Consequently, if the demand for existing and new products and services incorporating our database declines or does not continue to grow, our business would be seriously harmed. Any attempt by us to diversify our product and service offerings may not be successful and may cause us to divert resources and management attention away from our core business, which could adversely affect our financial position, reputation and relationships with our customers.
In addition, with respect to our principal map database product, customers continue to request that additional types of content be included in our data. If we are unable to timely include such content in our product and service offerings or do not effectively determine what types of content to include and the related prioritization of developing such product and service offerings, our customers may purchase map data and related content elsewhere, which would adversely affect our revenue.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced profit margins or loss of market share by us.
The market for map and related information, such as traffic information, is highly competitive. We compete with other companies and governmental and quasi-governmental agencies that provide map and related information to a wide variety of users in a wide range of applications with varying levels of functionality.
We currently have several major competitors in providing map information, including Tele Atlas N.V., Internet-based mapping sites and numerous European governmental and quasi-governmental mapping agencies (e.g., Ordnance Survey in the United Kingdom) that license map data for commercial use. Governmental and quasi-governmental agencies also are making more map data information with greater coverage and content, and higher quality, available free of charge or at lower prices, which may encourage new market entrants or reduce the demand for fee-based products and services which incorporate our map database. Several companies are also now providing aerial, satellite and other location-based imagery which provides our customers with an alternative to our map data and makes it less costly and time-consuming for competitors to build a high quality map database similar to our database. In addition, some of our customers prefer to license data from several vendors in order to diversify their sources of supply and to maintain competitive and pricing pressures.
We also face substantial competition with respect to Traffic.coms business. Our competitors in providing traffic information include traditional providers of traffic information such as Westwood One, Inc. and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. These competitors have longer operating histories with respect to traffic information and more established relationships with advertisers. Our traffic data also competes with smaller, start-up companies that make use of publicly available traffic data from government sources.
Increased competition from our current competitors or new market entrants (which may include our customers) with respect to quality, content, pricing, alternative location-based imagery and otherwise, actions taken by our customers to diversify their sources of supply and increase pricing pressure, initiatives to develop community and probe-based map or related data, such as traffic data, and other competitive pressures may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins or loss of market share by us.
Our technology systems may suffer failures and business interruptions that could increase our operating costs and cause delays in our operations.
Our operations face the risk of systems failures. Although we believe we have sufficient disaster recovery plans and redundant systems in place, our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, computer hardware and software failure, telecommunications failure, computer hacking break-ins and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems with our technology systems at our production facility in Fargo, North Dakota, or at our offices in Chicago, Illinois and Veldhoven, the Netherlands could cause interruptions or delays in the ongoing development and enhancement of our map database and related software, and inhibit our ability to timely deliver our database to our customers, which in turn could cause us to lose customers or revenue. Our technology systems may also be subject to capacity constraints which would cause increased operating costs in order to overcome these constraints.
23
In addition, we are in the process of migrating our computer systems related to our database to a new platform, and during this process we are incurring both the costs associated with migrating and maintaining our legacy systems. While we cannot assure you that there will not be unanticipated costs, we do not believe that the costs associated with the migration will be material to our results of operations. Hardware failure or software errors occurring in our legacy systems or during repair or after the completion of this migration could result in errors in our database, which could cause us to have to repair and re-ship our database to some customers and hinder our ability to timely deliver our database to our customers. Repairs and reshipments of our data could result in a material increase in our operating costs, subject us to liability from our customers and end-users and harm our reputation. Delays in completing the migration also could inhibit our ability to enhance and improve our database, which could adversely affect our ability to compete.
Further, the operational failure of TIMS, the system Traffic.com uses to collect, analyze and distribute traffic information, could prevent us from delivering traffic data to our customers, which could result in a loss of customers and would adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase advertising revenue related to our traffic data and grow Traffic.coms business.
