News: TomTom Reports Net Loss of £870m

pocketgpsworld.comTomTom profits have nose-dived with the Dutch company reporting a £870m net loss this morning.

Although there was a pre-tax profit of £72m for the quarter, down 46% on the previous year, revenue fell 17% and they have written off Euro 1bn from the value of TeleAtlas which it purchased for Euro 2.9bn only a year ago.

Shares have fallen below £2.60 for the first time compared with their all time high of £59.00. TomTom are now admitting there is a possibility that the terms of its bank loans "could be breached".
