Thanks Tom. Good afternoon everybody and thank you for joining us. We are very pleased to report a quarter of exceptional growth and profitability for the company, we achieved record operating results with second quarter revenue of $202.3 million, growing 49% over the prior year and operating income of $54 million up 63% over the same period a year ago. The revenue increase was driven by growth in unit volume, which was up 76% when compared to the second quarter a year ago partially offset by a mix shift from portable device map units, as that business continued to grow robustly. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and the revenue from the recent Traffic.com and Map Network acquisitions revenue grew 32% over the prior year. Further excluding the distribution business which was down slightly in the quarter compared to the prior year base business revenue was up approximately 39% on a currency neutral basis. Net income for the quarter was $40.9 million or $0.41 per diluted share. For the first six months of 2007, revenue of $362.3 million grew 40% over the first half of 2006. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and the two recent acquisitions first half revenue grew 26% over the prior year. Year-to-date operating income was $92.4 million, net income for the first half was $71.1 million or $0.72 per diluted share. Net cash provided by operating activities was $153 million for the first half of 2007, compared to $52.4 million in the first half of last year. We ended the quarter with $390 million in cash and marketable securities and no debt. I am very pleased with the growth trends in the marketplace and our ability to execute against our strategies. I feel that the company is in a strong position as we enter the…

Thanks Judson. I'll try to provide some additional color on our result. With respect to revenue, map license and related revenue comprised 91% of the total in the quarter. Advertising revenue represented 8%, and other revenue accounting for the remaining 1%. Distribution revenue was down only slightly compared to the prior year and represented approximately 12% of our total revenue in the quarter. We performed distribution services on 36% of our in-dash volume. The mix of distribution units in Europe was 53%, which was down from the prior year due to the mix of business between distribution and non-distribution customers and the introduction of hard disk drive navigation systems on more car models. The mix in North America was 17%, which was also down from the year-ago period due to the mix of business between distribution and non-distribution customers. On board revenue represented approximately 82% of total revenue and 91% of map license and related revenue in the second quarter. Second quarter map units grew 76% over the prior year, with in-dash maps up 17% and portable device maps up 118%. Excluding the maps for PDAs, which have been declining sharply for the past several quarters, our worldwide portable device map units grew a 146% over Q2 of last year. Our two recent acquisitions contributed $16.9 million to revenue in the quarter. With respect to pricing, we've once again calculated what we call our market basket metric, which represents the change in the license fees paid to us from the second quarter of last year to the second quarter of this year by each of our top ten customers on their most popular NAVTEQ map product in Europe and the Americas. The price change reflects base license fee reduction, as well as volume discounts and other considerations. For the second…

Thanks Dave. I would like to wrap up the call this afternoon as I usually do by offering a few comments on our outlook for the business. These are exciting times for our industry and our company. From the rapid growth of PNDs to the emergence of wireless applications, GPS and location technologies are becoming more and more part of our daily lives as mobile consumers. Last week TomTom announced its intent to acquire Televés. We have been thinking carefully about how this impacts the company and our customers and fundamentally we do not expect this development to change the way we operate. We have always viewed NAVTEQ as having lots of competition but we expect that to continue in the future. The fact is we have significant experience in the areas TomTom is promoting such as community map feedback. We have been receiving feedback from our customers and the end-user community for many years and we know how to incorporate that feedback, while maintaining our quality standards, by leveraging the knowledge and expertise of our field analyst and productions teams. To us this transaction underscores the value of content in the location-based services space, and while we respect TomTom as a company, we are confident we will be able to compete very effectively with the combined entity. Our goal at NAVTEQ has always been to help all our customers to be successful by offering them the highest quality maps and content, matched with unique value-added services and support. I feel, our leadership position the GPS technology marketplace remains strong and I am optimistic about our ability achieve the targets and objectives we have set for the company. This concludes our prepared remarks. So, thank you for your attention. Now, I would like to ask the operator to open the lines so that we might answer your question.

Thank you, sir. (Operator Instruction). Sir, I have your first question today coming to you from Jairam Nathan from Banc of America Securities.

Hi guys. Just on your guidance as the question I had was, are you up to revenue guidance by close to $50 million while your net income guidance went up in the $24 million to $25 million range. If I take the $10 million the cost push out then probably it gives me a very, you would say, pretty low investment rate on a pre-tax basis. So, how should we think about that?

Well, I am not sure how to answer the question except to say that I think that it reflects the fact that not all incremental revenue is 100% margin. We have businesses where there are cost of good sold in terms of the traffic business and the mapped network business. We did mention that we thought our base business operating margin would expand by 300 basis points instead of a 100 basis points…

Which should get you…

Which should enable you to get there.

Okay. And my other question was on pricing, given the whole the TomTom, Tele Atlas transaction, how should we think about pricing going forward? Does it get more saner?

At this point I would say it’s too early to say what impacts this may have on pricing. I think to do that at this movement with this news being so recent, is just speculation. So, we really don't know what impact this may have.

Okay, thanks.

Okay. You are going to go to Jay Vleeschhouwer from Merrill Lynch

Thanks. Judson, I would like to ask the pricing question in a different way, almost independent of the TomTom news. You have already experienced for many years feature-based pricing across your auto and PND product line. And could you describe how you see feature-based or segmented pricing plain out anyway over the next numbers of years, as you add in more content, and data, and attributes anyway. Do you think that pricing could get worse before it gets better based slowly on attributes and content or how do you see curve progressing then over the next number of years for each of the two businesses? Secondly, for Dave or for Judson, on the investments and expenses side, since the year is more backend loaded then you had originally thought, how was that affecting that timing and availability of whatever new product and services you are investing in? Is there some pushback perhaps to 2008 of some of the new attributes or other services that you were meeting to develop?

Okay. On the first question, I think Jay you are very familiar with our pricing strategy. It's a function of number of different things, including geography and content and functionality and volume discounts. Although the pricing strategy itself evolves over time, and there have been tweaks to it in the past, there will be tweaks to it future. But, fundamentally as we look to the future, the only thing I could tell you is I think we see more and more content being introduced into the whole navigation market. As we’ve talked before variety types of study content, which we reported on before that we are building on behalf of our customer, as well as an ever increasing number of and types of dynamic content. So, that to me speaks well to the model that we have, which does recognize content as a major driver of what the price points will be. Beyond that I really can't forecast or speculate on what might happen, other than to tell we think we've got a robust pricing strategy and that content is going to play an ever increasing role in the strategy as we look to the future.

With respect to your second question in terms of the impact of delayed spending on our delivery to the new content while some projects may slip slightly in terms of the timeline, we don’t anticipate any material deviation from our customer commitments which are the most important thing driving that additional content.

Thank you.

Thank you. We are going to go to Mr. Bill Benton calling in from William Blair.

Hi, afternoon guys. First, I just wanted to maybe another pricing question, I apologize. But as you think about growing your PND business would you say you are more focused on market share gains or price stability?

But do you have to trade off?

I am just trying to figure out the relative emphasis.

We are interested in whatever delivers us the greatest profitability I think.

Okay, I figured it though.

You do, I understand the question and you take each opportunity and you view it in light of its overall impact on the profitability of the business.

Alright, would it be fair to assume that change in control causes are fairly standard in your customer contracts or for the industry in general?

I have no idea Bill, off the top of my head what is the wording in all of our contracts.

Okay, I didn’t knew it. Okay, and just a final question, just on PND growth. You said 90% is your new overall target. Are you able to offer us any color in terms of how you are thinking about the North America peace event and what your expectation is for growth there?

I think we said that it was -- we thought it was at least 2x.

Yes, at least 2x. Okay, great guys. Thanks again.

Thank you. We are going to go to Maynard Um from UBS.

Hi, thank you. Just related to the projects you are investing in; how long do these projects typically last or, maybe ask the different way we typically haven't seen any significant decline in database licensing introduction cost sequentially. Will the conclusion of those projects result in decreases as we go forward. And then I have a follow-up.

I don't expect that they will, no.

Okay and then just related to I guess the announcement by your competitor; how quickly can a PND vendor actually switch map suppliers and any early feedback presume you've been reaching out to your competitors and customers? Thanks.

Well I think in the PND space it's much easier to switch than it is in the automotive sector just because of the complexity of the applications and poor maps, so I think that's pretty well known. Your second question was with respect to feedback from customers I would say on that front, we have spoken to all our of our major customers some of whom are also the customers of our competitors and I would say most of them are still digesting what this transaction means, it's not at all clear I think it surprised many people, so I don't know that I have any conclusions other than we obviously have talked to our major customers and they are trying to figure out themselves what the implications are.

Thank you. We are going to go to Rob Sanderson from American Technology.

Thanks, congratulations on a great quarter guys. Just a quick housekeeping first, your comment on base business off margins in the second half, just to make sure I am getting this right. We have about a 350 basis point drag from the acquisitions this quarter?

I am not sure what a drag means but our guidance on the basis point expansion was for the full year not for the second half.

Right, I will make a follow of that up later. Then on the balance sheet, intangible assets as you pull in these acquisitions increased about $200 million or something year-over-year and one; could you give us the amount of amortization as usually disclosed in the 10-Q and then the second part of that is and for us to get a better picture of what normalized earnings in the business is really look like, shouldn't we be looking at your earnings net of amortization of this intangible?

I think that's up to, if you are looking at cash flow it's probably useful to do that. I think each of the analyst probably looks at this in a slightly different way depending on what you measure. I am just I am looking back at the script to see what we told you about amortization. The total amortization of intangibles that's in our second quarter results was $2.8 million in the quarter and that is up from $900,000 in last years second quarter. So what you see in the quarter that's a full quarters worth of amortization from acquisitions which is the first time that showed up, so that should be a more or less consistent number going forward.

Okay, Dave and then just a follow-up on the total depreciation on your cash flow statement I guess the big jump there has been in the actual depreciation one and not the amortization one?

I am trying to let's see, its up about $0.5 million from Q1 and we did acquire a fair amount of fixed assets in the Traffic.com deal so that's where the majority of that increase is coming from and again that represents a full quarters worth of depreciation.

Great, thank you. Thank you, gentleman.

Okay. Thank you. We'll go to Yair Reiner from CIBC.

Hello. First of all I have my congratulations to a great quarter. Second, in your conversations with your many customers, I mean, are you getting a sense there is going to be opposition in the market to the TomTom, and Tele Atlas combination. And secondly, have customers come to you seeking assurances that -- you obviously can be in very position, you are not going to take advantage in any kind of crude way of potentially your strength moving forward?

Again, we have had some general conversations with our customers, I don't know if it's appropriate for me to share what we have discussed with each of our customers about the future. I think what is paramount to our customers is to know how we are reacting to this, and I think in that vain I would say that we are very focused on customer satisfaction, as we have been for years. We are very focused on our roadmap and the specific commitments we have made with respect to delivering new products and new geographies. And we basically think that the single best thing we can do is exactly what we have been doing, which is to focus on quality, focus on our customers, and focus on delivering what we say we are going to deliver and that time I must say has resonated very well.

Fair enough. One question on the mix. Your assumption is that in the back half of the year, lots of growth in the PND segment will come from the lower-end models. How should we think of that impacting your pricing, if at all?

Pricing, it doesn’t really impact pricing. It has an impact on which products or which of our map products the customer picks. Typically, in a low-end device they are taking maps with less geography, less content and alike. I mean, probably the biggest impact on our business in the portable space is the loss of the TomTom business in the last two quarters of the year.

Thank you. We now are going to go to Rob Schwartz calling from Jefferies.

Just a clarification first, the 90% target you gave for PND growth, I want to make sure that that was units and not revenue. And second, may be you could talk about what went in to that, you said you built it up in the bottom up, but I am wondering what your assumptions are about mix in PNDs between the low-end units and high-end units? And then finally, in your discussion with vendors -- I am sorry with retailers, which you've discussed, I am wondering if you are seeing a pattern about when their makes would be stocking their shelves? Do you think they will be stocking earlier this year versus last year?

Your first comment was correct. That was a unit projection not a revenue projection for PNDs, PDAs and smartphones, if not just PNDs.

Right.

With respect to the second question, are we assuming more low-end versus high-end, that’s more granularity then we’re really comfortable talking about in this form. Third, I don’t think we yet have any visibility with respect to stocking for the holiday season. As you know were sort of one step removed from the retailer and the PND, OEMs like Garmin and Magellan and TomTom are probably in a better position to give you insight into that since they are dealing directly with retailers.

And if I may follow-up, have you seen patterns than that you could talk about, with some granularity about uptake of traffic and some of the Point Of Interest data. Are you seeing something in the PND devices where there they are installing more Point Of Interest to fit your strategy?

I think on Point of Interest it's probably a little too early. On traffic, we are pleased with the uptake, but again, it's very early in the life and that probably won't have a big impact until next year. I think it's just a little late for that to get incorporated on a widespread basis for the holiday season.

Thanks for taking my question.

Thank you. And we are going to go to Peter Friedland from Soleil Group.

Hi. Did you say if you added 10% customers during the quarter?

We didn’t, but we have two 10% customers, Garmin and BMW.

Okay. And as far as the one months reporting lag in the PND business, can you quantify that all relative to calendar quarter numbers for both Q2 and Q1, just so we have an idea how to model it going into Q3?

You mean how much came in after the quarter?

Well, if Q2 didn’t include June?

Right.

If you compare that to Q2…

I am sorry, ask this question again Peter. I am sorry.

So, if you compare March, April, May with April, May, June. So, how much of a negative was that in Q2 or was it a negative just…

No, it's the same basis, last year as it was this year. So, it's consistent year-over-year.

Okay. I'll just…

Was I clear on it or...?

Well, it's not a year-over-year question. So, in other words if you reported 3.1 million units for Q2, how does that compare with the actual calendar unit number for April, May, June?

Well, if I was to say that then I'd be giving you insight into our next quarter and I just don’t think it's appropriate for us to do that.

Okay. Fair enough.

Thank you. We are going to go to Ben Radinsky from Bear Stearns.

Hey, good afternoon, good quarter. Two quick questions; can you update us on the actual penetration numbers I don't think that you mentioned on in your script?

We talked about in generally I think they are tracking, year-to-date they are tracking with what we anticipated for the full year which was basically one or two percentage points on each continent increase in penetration.

Okay and then historically you've mentioned that the 2008 model year was going to be a big year for uptake in in-dash navigation. Are there any new progresses that you can talk about?

No, I think we mentioned the Kia and the Fiat. I think what you're referring to in your question is the ultra low cost line feed which will have some impact '08 model, you are going to have a much bigger impact in the '09 model year which would be the second half or last part of '08 which is we are. And we think that trend is firm because of the logic that goes into having a lower price point, but we don't have, we're not at this moment prepared to make any forecast or predictions about what exactly that means over the next two or three years.

Okay and then the last one from me, you mentioned VZ Navigator I was hoping that you could either give some color or granularity on either that program or on out board navigation in general?

We'd love to give you color on it but Verizon is pretty sensitive to what's going on there. I'd just say we're pleased with what's happening I think they are too but that's as much as we are permitted to say about it.

Thanks very much.

Thank you. We are going to go to April Horace from Janco Partners.

Hi, thanks for taking the question, and I wanted to say congratulations on what I though was a great quarter. With having a 90% increase in units year-over-year from '06 to '07 how do we think in terms of continued growth in that particular sector in '08 as well as beyond just North America and Europe?

This is one of the toughest questions that we get which is because of the newness of this category and because this is tied up in holiday shopping patterns and consumer behavior and alternative devices and alternative electronics. I wish we could tell you but we don't have a crystal ball on this and in fact as Dave said a minute ago we are actually one step removed in that context because some of the bigger PND players might give you better information about what they see happening. I think we can say that we have witnessed a little bit to our surprise how popular this technology has become there is some that believe that this now maybe the fastest growing consumer electronics category and we are also continuing to hear positive signs from as a result of that from the retailers who were saying, hey this is an opportunity for us. But how that translates into actual sales even through the end of this year let alone '08, '09 we just don't know and we can't give you any better information that we already have.

And then with respect to the increase in revenue guidance, I was wondering if you could give us some sort of indication as to how much FX might have might have been baked into that number. And then also can you give us a sense as to when we might see the timing of more ultra low cost in-dash units announcements would be?

Well, with respect to, I'll let Judson answer the second question, but with respect to the first one, our original guidance assumed a 1.27 rate for the full year, we now assume the 1.35 rate for the second half of the year. So, you could multiply that $0.08 difference by the sort of assumed second half revenue that goes into our annual revenue guidance and calculate how much of that has been driven by FX.

Okay thanks, and then timing of ultra low cost in-dash units.

As I said a minute ago, I would say it's really model year '09, which really than impacts the lead '08. And, I think there might be somewhat meaningful numbers to identify again things in the automotive industry move very slowly and we think this is a great idea, we are hearing good things about it, but this is the kind of thing that’s going to take a few year to build, but I think it will really become noticed with the model year '09 which is the second half of '08.

And I would add that our customers are system vendor customers have a very strong bias for controlling their own announcements of new product introduction. So, even though we might know about things coming, we have to be circumspect about jumping the gun on it.

Okay great. That’s all I got, good, great quarter.

Thank you.

Thank you. We are going to go to Ingrid Ebeling from JMP Securities.

Hi. Thank you, again congratulations on a great quarter. I was wondering if you could provide a little bit more clarification on the operating margin expansion in '07 or I think it was for full year versus '06 including the acquisition. And kind of moving forward do you feel is the integration of Traffic.com and the Maps Networks has got a little bit of had a plan in terms of profitability and what kind of financial leverage we could see in 2008 once we get a full year these acquisitions baked in. Could we see a 200, 300 point increase in year-over-year? Thanks.

I would say first with respect to the acquisitions, we think that they are operating generally in line with what we expected, not particularly better, which we haven't necessarily improved the profit picture dramatically. I think we're pleased with how that's operating. In terms of being able to do dramatic margin expansion next year beyond what I think we anticipate, I think it's early for us to really reach that conclusion yet. We haven't even started that process, and I certainly wouldn't want to promise if we could do it without really having -- can't do it more dramatically. I think we're pleased with the progress we're making. Obviously, what happens in 2008, there is a lot of things that go into that. So, it's probably a little early for us to be talking about what we think we can do there.

Okay. And the deal that you won with Mercedes-Benz, the S-Class with the full time or real time traffic, is that a revenue generator from Traffic.com, that's beyond advertising revenue?

Yes, that's a license fee arrangement.

That’s great. Thank you, and congratulation again.

Thank you. And so I have your last question today coming to you from David Niederman from Pacific Crest Securities.

Good afternoon. Last quarter you talked about receiving some incremental ADAS revenue that was a bit of surprise. I was wondering if you can provide an update to that. Are you seeing any acceleration there in ADAS? And secondly, when you talk about increased retail space that will be devoted to PND this holiday season, do you get the sense that will entail incremental brands on the floor or more models from the same number of brands. Thank you.

With respect to the ADAS, I think you may be referring to the fact that with respect to ADAS type content we do have the ability to charge incrementally for that. So, we are recognizing that, it's not a significant amount in '07, but it does exist. With respect to the pace of that, it's been like my comment about the ultra low-cost line. We think this is a real opportunity for us, but it's going to be over many years that this is realized. It's in our opinion a very good direction for the car companies to go, and they're excited about it for a lot of different reasons. But, it's something that's been in the works for more than a decade and I think it's going to roll-out over the next decade. So, I don’t have any headlines as to what '07, '08 or 09 is going to look like with respect to ADAS. And with respect to the retail space, this is just anecdotal, it's not scientific, but I do think to the extent that any of the retailers decide to expand over the prior year their retail space, so yes that will be more models. I think that's right. I think they've got to decide who they are betting on, because there are so many players in the space that they have to take into account a number of different factors, including the power of the brand of that particular PND manufacturer and the amount of marketing that they are going to put in to and not to mention a diversity of price points, which I think we've learnt from them, listening to them that that has been very helpful. Not just to stock the shelves with the lowest price point product, but to have a whole range of product, so that you give consumers the opportunity to go and look at a variety of things and potentially buy up from what their expectation was. So, I do think we believe anecdotally there will be more space and there will be more models.

Thanks a lot.

And sir I have no further questions for you at this time.

Okay. Thank you everyone for joining us. Have a good evening. Good night.

Thank you, sir. Thank you again, ladies and gentlemen, this brings your conference call to a close. Please feel free to disconnect your lines now at any time.
