NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of the Business

MiX Telematics Limited and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) is a global provider of connected fleet and mobile asset solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”). The Company’s solutions enable customers to manage, optimize and protect their investments in commercial fleets, mobile assets or personal vehicles. The Company’s solutions enable a wide range of customers, from large enterprise fleets to small fleet operators and consumers, to reduce fuel and other operating costs, improve efficiency, enhance regulatory compliance, promote driver safety, manage risk and mitigate theft.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in South Africa, with its principal executive office in Boca Raton, Florida. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31.

Basis of preparation and consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value measurement of contingent consideration, allowances for doubtful accounts, the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill for impairment and income and deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We have considered the impact of rising inflation, fuel prices, global politics, sanctions and the impact thereof on global trade on the estimates and assumptions used. As of September 30, 2023, we have taken into account the impact of the above on goodwill sensitivities and impairment assessments. However, future changes in economic conditions could have an impact on future estimates and judgements used.

Summary of significant accounting policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023, that have had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended September 30, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On October 28, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations, to require companies to apply ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. This creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 which requires an acquirer to generally recognize such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein for public business entities (PBEs). For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. Management is yet to assess the impact of adoption of this ASU.

2. Acquisition

MiX Telematics North America, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired Trimble Inc.’s Field Service Management business (“FSM”) in North America on September 2, 2022 (the “FSM Acquisition”).

FSM’s North American operations include the sale and support of telemetry and video solutions that enable back-office monitoring and visualization for fleet services management in a number of industries.

All existing FSM subscription contracts and the related revenue streams were acquired by MiX Telematics North America. The initial accounting for the business combination was complete at March 31, 2023. For additional information on the acquisition please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, which we filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023.

3. Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company provides fleet and mobile asset management solutions. The principal revenue streams are (1) Subscription and (2) Hardware and other. Subscription revenue is recognized over time and hardware and other revenue is recognized at a point-in-time.

To provide services to customers, a device is required which collects and transmits information collected from the vehicle or other asset. Fleet customers may also obtain other items of hardware, virtually all of which are functionally dependent on the device. Some customers obtain control of the device and other hardware (where legal title transfers to the customer); while other customers do not (where legal title remains with the Company). A contract arises on the acceptance of a customer’s purchase order, which is typically executed in writing.

Contract liabilities

When customers are invoiced in advance for subscription services that will be provided over periods of more than one month, or pay in advance of service periods of more than one month, deferred revenue liabilities are recorded. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 was $5.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively. During both the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023, revenue of $0.9 million, was recognized which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each such quarter. During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023, revenue of $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, was recognized which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each such financial year.

Contract acquisition costs

Commissions payable to sales employees and external third parties which are incurred to acquire contracts are capitalized and amortized, unless the amortization period is 12 months or less, in which instance they are expensed immediately. Deferred commissions were $6.0 million and $8.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and are included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following is a summary of the amortization expense recognized (in thousands):

14. Segment information

The Company has six reportable segments, which are based on the geographical location of the five Regional Sales Offices (“RSOs”) and also includes the Central Services Organization (“CSO”). The RSOs provide fleet and mobile asset management solutions and predominantly generate external revenue. CSO is the central services organization that wholesales products and services to RSOs who, in turn, interface with our end-customers, distributors and dealers. CSO is also responsible for the development of hardware and software platforms and provides common marketing, product management, technical and distribution support to each of the other reportable segments. CSO is a reportable segment because it produces discrete financial information which is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and has the ability to generate external revenue.

The CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who makes strategic decisions for the Company. The performance of the reportable segments has been measured and evaluated by the CODM using Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure that uses income before income tax expense excluding the contingent consideration remeasurement, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs, strategic costs, acquisition-related costs, interest expense, interest income, net foreign exchange gains/losses, net profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation costs, depreciation, amortization, onerous contract costs, operating lease costs and corporate and consolidation

entries. Product development costs are capitalized and amortized and this amortization is excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

Segment assets are not disclosed because such information is not reviewed by the CODM.

1.For the purposes of calculating Segment Adjusted EBITDA, operating lease expenses are excluded from the Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, in order to reconcile Segment Adjusted EBITDA to income before income tax expense, the total lease expense in respect of operating leases needs to be deducted.
2.For segment reporting purposes, product development costs, which do not meet the capitalization requirements under ASC 730 Research and Development or under ASC 985 Software, are capitalized and amortized. The amortization is excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA. In order to reconcile Segment Adjusted EBITDA to income before income tax expense, product development costs capitalized for segment reporting purposes need to be deducted.
3.Strategic costs relate to costs incurred in relation to the Powerfleet Transaction discussed in note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
4.Certain non-recurring costs related to the extension of the transitional service agreement in respect of the FSM business acquired from Trimble in September 2022 will be incurred on a temporary basis from September 2023 to December 2023 and have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the South African prime interest rate was 11.25% and 11.75% respectively. The Standard Bank and Nedbank Limited (“Nedbank”) facilities have no fixed renewal date and are repayable on demand. The facility from Nedbank is unsecured.

The Investec Bank Limited (“Investec”) credit facilities are comprised of a 364-day renewable committed general credit facility of R350 million (the equivalent of $19 million as of September 30, 2023) (the “Committed Facility”) and an uncommitted general credit facility of $10 million (the “Uncommitted Facility”). As of September 30, 2023, $13.3 million of the Committed Facility was utilized. The Committed Facility is in the process of being renewed.

Under the Committed Facility, the Company will pay a commitment fee charged at 30bps on any undrawn portion of the Committed Facility (plus VAT on such amount), calculated monthly and payable, free of deduction, monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month. The Uncommitted Facility is repayable on demand by Investec and a fee of 10bps per annum shall be charged on any undrawn portion of the Uncommitted Facility (plus VAT on such amount), calculated monthly and payable, free of deduction, monthly in arrears on the seventh business day of each month.

The loans under the Committed Facility bear interest at South African prime interest rate less 1.5% per annum and the loans under the Uncommitted Facility bear interest at overnight or daily negotiable rates, in each case which such interest shall accrue on all amounts outstanding under the Committed Facility or the Uncommitted Facility, as the case may be, payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month, or as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement. Investec shall advise the Company of any changes to the applicable interest rate.

On November 15, 2022, the Company concluded a second amendment to the credit agreement with Standard Bank, which entitles the Company to utilize a maximum amount of R70.0 million (the equivalent of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2023), in the form of a customer foreign currency account overdraft facility (the “CFC Overdraft Facility”). All other facilities under the facility letter with Standard Bank were replaced by the CFC Overdraft Facility. The CFC Overdraft Facility has no fixed renewal date and is repayable on demand. The CFC Overdraft Facility bears interest at the South African Prime interest rate less 1.2% per annum. As of September 30, 2023, $2.9 million of the CFC Overdraft Facility was utilized.

In November 2022, the Company also terminated the suretyship securing the Company’s indebtedness (among other parties) to Standard Bank and signed by the Company and its subsidiaries; MiX Telematics Africa Proprietary Limited (“MiX Telematics Africa”) and MiX Telematics International Proprietary Limited (“MiX Telematics International”). A new suretyship agreement was entered into providing that the Company and only one subsidiary being MiX Telematics International, binds themselves as

surety(ies) and co-principal debtor(s) for the payment, when due, of all the present and future debts of any kind of the Company and MiX Telematics International to Standard Bank. The security release letter also provided that Standard Bank’s claims to any security furnished by the Company and its subsidiaries under the original suretyship agreement were released upon signature of the new suretyship agreement.

17. Contingencies

Service agreement

In terms of an amended network services agreement with Mobile Telephone Networks Proprietary Limited (“MTN”), MTN is entitled to claw back payments from MiX Telematics Africa, a subsidiary of the Company, in the event of early cancellation of the agreement or certain base connections not being maintained over the term of the agreement. No connection incentives will be received in terms of the amended network services agreement. The maximum potential liability under the arrangement as of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. No loss is considered probable under this arrangement.

Competition Commission of South Africa matter

On April 15, 2019 the Competition Commission of South Africa (“Commission”) referred a matter to the Competition Tribunal of South Africa (“Tribunal”). The Commission contends that the Company and a number of its channel partners have engaged in market division. Should the Tribunal rule against MiX Telematics, the Company may be liable for an administrative penalty in terms of the Competition Act, No. 89 of 1998. The Company cooperated fully with the Commission during its preliminary investigation.

The Tribunal has since set the matter for hearing from June 24 to July 2, 2024. Leading up to that date various intermediary steps such as discovery, filing of witness statements and trial bundle exchanges will take place.

We cannot predict the timing of a resolution or the ultimate outcome of the matter. However, the Company and its external legal advisers continue to believe that we have consistently adhered to all applicable laws and regulations and that the referral from the Commission is without merit. As of September 30, 2023, no intermediary steps have taken place, and we have not made any provisions for this matter as an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss could not be made, and we do not believe that an outflow of economic resources is probable.

18. Subsequent events

Other than the items below, the directors are not aware of any matter material or otherwise arising since September 30, 2023 and up to the date of this report, not otherwise dealt with herein.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of connected fleet and mobile asset solutions delivered as Software-as-as-Service (“SaaS”). Our solutions deliver a measurable return by enabling our customers to manage, optimize and protect their investments in commercial fleets or personal vehicles. We generate actionable insights that enable a wide range of customers, from large enterprise fleets to small fleet operators and consumers, to reduce fuel and other operating costs, improve efficiency, enhance regulatory compliance, enhance driver safety, manage risk and mitigate theft. Our solutions mostly rely on our proprietary, highly scalable technology platforms, which allow us to collect, analyze and deliver information based on data from our customers’ vehicles. Using an intuitive, web-based interface, dashboards or mobile applications, our fleet customers can access large volumes of real-time and historical data, monitor the location and status of their drivers and vehicles and analyze a wide number of key metrics across their fleet operations.

We were founded in 1996 and we have offices in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uganda, Brazil, Australia, Romania, United Arab Emirates, Mexico and India as well as a network of more than 130 fleet value-added resellers worldwide. MiX Telematics’ ordinary shares are publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: MIX) and MiX Telematics’ American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MIXT).

We derive the majority of our revenue from subscriptions to our fleet and mobile asset management solutions. Our subscriptions generally include access to our SaaS solutions, connectivity, and in many cases, use of an in-vehicle device. We also generate revenue from the sale of in-vehicle devices, which enable customers to use our subscription-based solutions, installation services of our in-vehicle-devices and driver training for fleet customers. We generate sales through the efforts of our direct sales teams, staffed in our regional sales offices, and through our global network of distributors and dealers. Our direct sales teams focus on marketing our fleet solutions to global and multinational enterprise accounts and to other customer accounts located in regions of the world where we maintain a direct sales presence. Our direct sales teams have industry expertise across multiple industries, including oil and gas, transportation and logistics, government and municipal, bus and coach, rental and leasing, and utilities. In some markets, we rely on a network of distributors and dealers to sell our solutions on our behalf. Our distributors and dealers also install our in-vehicle devices and provide training, technical support and ongoing maintenance for the customers they support.

Recent Developments

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 10, 2023, we entered into an Implementation Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among us, PowerFleet, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Main Street 2000 Proprietary Limited, a private company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa and a wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet (“Powerfleet Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Powerfleet Sub will acquire all of our issued ordinary shares, including the ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, through the implementation of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Powerfleet (the “Powerfleet Common Stock”). As a result of the transactions, including the Scheme, contemplated by the Agreement (the “Powerfleet Transaction”), we will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet.

The implementation of the Scheme will result in the delisting of our ordinary shares from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE”) and the delisting of our ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange. The Powerfleet Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market and will additionally be listed on the JSE by way of a secondary inward listing.

The Powerfleet Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar year 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, approval from our shareholders and approval from Powerfleet’s stockholders.

Inflation Risk

We believe that inflation may have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the current fiscal year. Current economic projections remain uncertain as a result of the sudden and sharp surge in global inflation mainly as a result of global supply chain constraints, rising energy and commodity prices, global politics, fiscal and monetary policies and the impact thereof on global trade. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset these higher costs through price increases. Our inability to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Refer to Part II Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further information regarding inflation risk.

Key Financial Measures and Operating Metrics

In addition to financial measures based on our consolidated financial statements, we monitor our business operations using various financial and non-financial metrics.

Subscription Revenue

Subscription revenue represents subscription fees for our solutions, which include the use of our SaaS fleet management solutions, connectivity, and in many cases, our in-vehicle devices. Our subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of subscribers and the monthly price per subscriber, which varies depending on the services and features customers require, hardware options, customer size and geographic location.

In the first half of fiscal year 2024, subscription revenue has decreased as a percentage of total revenue due to an increase in hardware and other revenue. In the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, subscription revenue represented 87.1% and 85.9%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, subscription revenue represented 87.7% and 87.2%, respectively, of our total revenue.

Subscribers

Subscribers represent the total number of discrete services we provide to customers at the end of the period.


	As of September 30,
	2022	2023
Subscribers	914,629	1,089,761

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, our subscriber base increased by a net 47,400 subscribers, compared to the net growth of 76,300 subscribers during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 when 38,000 subscribers were added by MiX Telematics North America as a result of the acquisition of Trimble Inc.’s Field Service Management (“FSM”) business in North America during September 2022 (the “FSM Acquisition”). The growth during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was mainly due to asset tracking and light fleet subscribers in the Africa segment. The subscriber balance at September 30, 2023 includes net 30,000 subscribers added by MiX Telematics North America, from the FSM business acquired during fiscal year 2023.

Basis of Presentation and Key Components of Our Results of Operations

We manage our business in six segments which include Africa, Americas, Brazil, Europe and the Middle East and Australasia (our regional sales offices (“RSOs”)), and our central services organization (“CSO”). CSO is the central services organization that wholesales products and services to RSOs which, in turn, interface with our end-customers, distributors and dealers. CSO is also responsible for the development of hardware and software platforms and provides common marketing, product management, technical and distribution support to each of the other reportable segments. CSO is a reportable segment because it produces discrete financial information which is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and has the ability to generate external revenue.

The CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who makes strategic decisions. The performance of the reportable segments has been measured and evaluated by the CODM using Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure that uses income before income tax expense excluding the contingent consideration remeasurement, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs, strategic costs, acquisition-related costs, interest expense, interest income, net foreign exchange gains/losses, net profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation costs, depreciation, amortization, onerous contract costs, operating lease costs and corporate and consolidation entries. Product development costs are capitalized and amortized, and this amortization is excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

In determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA, the margin generated by CSO, net of any unrealized intercompany profit, is allocated to the geographic region where the external revenue is recorded by our RSOs. The costs remaining in CSO relate mainly to research and development of hardware and software platforms, common marketing, product management and technical and distribution support to each of the RSOs.

Each RSO’s results reflect the external revenue earned, as well as the Segment Adjusted EBITDA earned (or loss incurred) before the remaining CSO and corporate costs allocations. Segment assets are not disclosed because such information is not reviewed by the CODM.

Revenue

The majority of our revenue is subscription-based. Consequently, growth in subscribers influences our subscription revenue growth. However, other factors, including, but not limited to, the types of new subscribers we add and the timing of entry into subscription contracts also play a significant role. The price and terms of our customer subscription contracts vary based on many factors, including fleet size, hardware options, geographic region and distribution channel. In addition, we derive revenue from the sale of in-vehicle devices, which are used to collect, generate and transmit the data used to enable our SaaS solutions.

Our customer contracts typically have a three-to-five-year initial term. Following the initial term, most fleet customers elect to renew for fixed terms ranging from one to five years. Our third-party dealers are typically billed monthly based on active connections. Some of our customer agreements, including our consumer subscriptions, provide for automatic monthly or yearly renewals unless the customer elects not to renew its subscription. Our consumer customer contracts in South Africa are governed by the Consumer Protection Act, which allows customers to cancel without paying the full balance of the contract amount. Our fleet contracts and our customer contracts outside of South Africa are generally non-cancellable.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Cost of revenue associated with our subscription revenue consists primarily of costs related to cellular communications, infrastructure hosting, third-party data providers, service contract maintenance costs, commission expense related to third party dealers or distributors (commission is capitalized and amortized, on a straight-line basis, unless the amortization period is 12 months or less) and depreciation of our capitalized installed in-vehicle devices. Cost of sales associated with our hardware revenue includes the cost of the in-vehicle devices, cost of hardware warranty, shipping costs, custom duties, and commission expense related to third-party dealers or distributors. We capitalize the cost of in-vehicle devices utilized to service customers, for customers selecting our bundled option, and we depreciate these costs from the date of installation over their expected useful lives.

We expect that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will vary from period to period depending on our revenue mix, including the proportion of our revenue attributable to our subscription-based services. Subscription revenue generates a higher gross profit margin than hardware and other revenue. The majority of the other components of our cost of revenue are variable and are affected by the number of subscribers, the composition of our subscriber base, and the number of new subscriptions sold in the period.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages to sales and marketing employees, commissions paid to employees, travel-related expenses, and advertising and promotional costs. We pay our sales employees commissions based on achieving subscription targets and we capitalize commission and amortize it over the expected life of the contract taking account of expected extensions/renewals (unless the amortization period is 12 months or less). Commission capitalized that is attributable to hardware or installation is amortized in full at the time the related hardware, or installation, revenue is recognized. Advertising costs consist primarily of costs for print, radio, television and digital advertising, search engine optimization, promotions, public relations, customer events, tradeshows and sponsorships. We expense advertising costs as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing in order to grow our sales and build brand and category awareness.

Administration and Other Charges

Administration and other charges consist primarily of salaries and wages for administrative staff, travel costs, professional fees (including audit and legal fees), real estate leasing costs, expensed research and development costs and depreciation of fixed assets including vehicles and office equipment and amortization of intangible assets. We expect that administration and other charges will increase in absolute terms as we continue to grow our business.

Research and Development

For additional disclosures in respect of research and development, technology and intellectual property please refer to “Item 1. Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, which we filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023.

Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, our effective tax rates were 161.5% and 90.2%, and during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, our effective tax rates were 109.1% and 69.0%, respectively, compared to a South African statutory rate of 27% (2023: 28%). Taxation mainly consists of normal statutory income tax paid or payable and deferred tax on any temporary differences.

Our effective tax rate may vary primarily according to the mix of profits made in various jurisdictions and the impact of certain non-deductible/non-taxable foreign exchange movements, net of tax. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Information section for the reconciliation of adjusted effective tax rate. As a result, significant variances in future periods may occur.

Revenue


	Three Months Ended September 30,

Subscription revenue	$	30,700	$	32,437	5.7	%	10.4	%

	$	35,262	$	37,762	7.1	%	11.5	%

Our total revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 7.1%, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The principal factors affecting our revenue growth included:

•Subscription revenue increased by 5.7% to $32.4 million, compared to $30.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The FSM business acquired on September 2, 2022 contributed $1.9 million to the subscription revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Subscription revenue represented 85.9% of total revenue during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. Subscription revenue increased by 10.4% on a constant currency basis, year over year, of which 2.9% is attributable to the FSM Acquisition. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, our subscriber base grew by a net 47,400 subscribers, or 4.5%, to over 1,089,000 subscribers at September 30, 2023, compared to the net growth of 76,300 subscribers during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 when 38,000 subscribers were added by MiX Telematics North America as a result of the FSM Acquisition during September 2022. The growth during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was mainly due to the Africa segment.

The majority of our total revenue and subscription revenue are derived from currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against these currencies (in particular against the South African Rand), has negatively impacted our revenue and subscription revenue reported in U.S. Dollars. Compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the South African Rand weakened by 10% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R18.65 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to an average of R17.01 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 led to a 4.7% decrease in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenue.

•Hardware and other revenue was $5.3 million, an increase of 16.7%, compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Hardware and other revenue increased by 18.9% on a constant currency basis, year over year.

The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 led to a 4.4% decrease in reported U.S. Dollar total revenue.

Compared to an increase in total revenue of $2.5 million, or 7.1%, cost of revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 10.1%, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. This resulted in a lower gross profit margin of 61.6% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to 62.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Subscription revenue, which generates a higher gross profit margin than hardware and other revenue, contributed 85.9% of total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to 87.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The subscription revenue margin during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was 65.4%, compared to 67.9% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and declined primarily due to higher in-vehicle device depreciation charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the current quarter.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, hardware and other margins were higher than in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, mainly due to the geographical sales mix and the distribution channels.

Taxation expense decreased by $0.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, net income included a net foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million before tax and a $0.1 million charge from the income tax effect of net foreign exchange losses (which includes a $0.2 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics and MiX Telematics Investments Proprietary Limited (“MiX Investments”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, offset by a $0.1 million deferred tax credit on other foreign exchange losses). During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, net loss included a net foreign exchange gain of $0.7 million before tax and a $2.0 million charge from the income tax effect of net

foreign exchange gains (which includes a $1.8 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics and MiX Investments and a $0.2 million deferred tax charge on other foreign exchange gains).

Adjusted effective tax rate, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the impact of net foreign exchange gains and losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, net of tax is the tax rate used in determining adjusted net income. Adjusted effective tax rate was 71.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 as compared to 63.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Information section for the reconciliation of adjusted effective tax rate.

	$	70,321	$	74,113	5.4	%	13.1	%

Our total revenue increased by $3.8 million, or 5.4%, from the first half of fiscal year 2023. The principal factors affecting our revenue increase included:

•Subscription revenues increased by 4.8% to $64.6 million, compared to $61.7 million for the first half of fiscal year 2023. The FSM business acquired on September 2, 2022 contributed $4.0 million to the subscription revenue for the first half of fiscal year 2024, compared to $0.9 million for the first half of fiscal year 2023. Subscription revenues represented 87.2% of total revenues during the first half of fiscal year 2024. Subscription revenues increased by 13.0% on a constant currency basis, year over year. From March 31, 2023 to September 30, 2023, our subscriber base grew by a net 87,900 subscribers to over 1,089,000 subscribers at September 30, 2023, compared to the net growth of 99,500 subscribers during the first half of fiscal year 2023, of which 38,000 subscribers were attributable to the FSM Acquisition. The growth during the first half of fiscal year 2024 was mainly due to asset tracking and light fleet subscribers in the Africa segment.

The majority of our revenues and subscription revenues are derived from currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against these currencies (in particular against the South African Rand) following continued currency volatility, has negatively impacted our revenue and subscription revenues reported in U.S. Dollars. Compared to the first half of fiscal year 2023, the South African Rand weakened by 14.6% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R18.65 in the current six-month period compared to an average of R16.28 during the first six-months of fiscal year 2023. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the first six-months of fiscal year 2024 led to an 8.2% decrease in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenues.

•Hardware and other revenue increased by $0.8 million, or 9.3%, from the first half of fiscal year 2023. Hardware and other revenues increased by 13.8% on a constant currency basis, year over year.

The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the first half of fiscal year 2024 led to an 7.7% decrease in reported U.S. Dollar revenues.

Income tax expense	$	6,302		$	4,138
Effective tax rate	109.1		%	69.0		%

Taxation expense decreased by $2.2 million. In the first half of fiscal year 2024, the net income included a foreign exchange loss of $0.9 million before tax and a $0.5 million charge from the income tax effect of net foreign exchange losses (which includes a $0.8 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics and MiX Investments, as well as a $0.3 million deferred tax credit on other foreign exchange losses). During the first half of fiscal year 2023, net loss included a net foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million before tax and a $4.1 million charge from the income tax effect of net foreign exchange gains (which includes a $3.7 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics and MiX Investments, as well as a $0.4 million deferred tax charge on other foreign exchange gains).

Adjusted effective tax rate, a non-GAAP measure which excludes the impact of net foreign exchange gains and losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, net of tax is the tax rate used in determining adjusted net income. Adjusted effective tax rate was 49.8% in the first half of fiscal year 2024 as compared to 47.9% in the first half of fiscal year 2023. Refer to the non-GAAP section below for the reconciliation of adjusted effective tax rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

We use certain measures to assess the financial performance of our business. Certain of these measures are termed “non-GAAP measures” because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted effective tax rate, free cash flow and constant currency information.

An explanation of the relevance of each of the non-GAAP measures, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and a discussion of their limitations is set out below. We do not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP or those calculated using financial measures that are calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are two of the profit measures reviewed by the CODM. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before income taxes, interest expense, interest income, net foreign exchange gains/losses, depreciation of property, plant and equipment including capitalized customer in-vehicle devices, amortization of intangible assets including capitalized internal-use software development costs and intangible assets identified as part of a business combination, stock-based compensation costs, net profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and the contingent consideration remeasurement. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they are key measures that our management and board of directors use to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends; to prepare and approve its annual budget; and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

A reconciliation of net income (the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP) to adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown is presented below.

(2) Includes amortization of intangible assets (including intangible assets identified as part of a business combination).

(3) Strategic costs relate to costs incurred in relation to the Powerfleet Transaction discussed in the “Recent Developments” section above.

(4) Certain non-recurring costs related to the extension of the transitional service agreement in respect of the FSM Acquisition will be incurred on a temporary basis from September 2023 to December 2023 and have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Our use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Some of these limitations are:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure; and

•certain of the adjustments (such as restructuring costs, impairment of long-lived assets and others) made in calculating adjusted EBITDA are those that management believes are not representative of our underlying operations and, therefore, are subjective in nature.

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including income from operations, net income and our other results.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding net foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, net of tax.

We have included adjusted net income in this quarterly report because it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business by excluding net foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, net of tax and associated tax consequences, from earnings. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted net income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share

Basic and diluted adjusted net income per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

We have included adjusted net income per share in this quarterly report because it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business by excluding net foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, net of tax and associated tax consequences, from earnings. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted net income per share provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

(1) Strategic costs relate to costs incurred in relation to the Powerfleet Transaction discussed in the “Recent Developments” section above.

(3) The diluted weighted average number of shares in fiscal year 2023 is used only for purposes of basic and diluted adjusted net income per share as it is anti-dilutive for net loss per share purposes (refer to note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

The adjusted effective tax rate is defined as income tax expense excluding the income tax effect of net foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement divided by income before income tax expense excluding net foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement.

We have included adjusted effective tax rate in this quarterly report because it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business by excluding net foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, strategic costs, non-recurring transitional service agreement costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, and associated tax consequences, from our effective tax rate.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is determined as net cash used in/provided by operating activities less capital expenditure for investing activities. We believe that free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our cash flows as it provides detail of the amount of cash we generate or utilize after accounting for all capital expenditures including investments in in-vehicle devices.

The following table (in thousands) reconciles net cash used in/provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the periods shown:

Constant Currency Information

Constant currency information has been presented in the sections below to illustrate the impact of changes in currency rates on our results. The constant currency information has been determined by adjusting the current financial reporting quarter’s results to the prior quarter’s average exchange rates, determined as the average of the monthly exchange rates applicable to the quarter. The measurement has been performed for each of our currencies, including the South African Rand and British Pound. The constant currency growth percentage has been calculated by utilizing the constant currency results compared to the prior quarter results.

The constant currency information represents non-GAAP information. We believe this provides a useful basis to measure the performance of our business as it removes distortion from the effects of foreign currency movements during the period.

Due to the significant portion of our customers who are invoiced in non-U.S. Dollar denominated currencies, we also calculate our subscription revenue growth rate on a constant currency basis, thereby removing the effect of currency fluctuation on our results of operations.

The following tables provide the constant currency reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods shown:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that there have not been any significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 as compared to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, which we filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Liquidity risk is reduced as a result of stable income due to the recurring nature of our income, available cash resources, as well as unutilized facilities which are available.

The following tables provide a summary of our cash flows for each of the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023:


	Six Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2023
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,582	$	13,438
Net cash used in investing activities	(17,726)		(11,609)
Net cash from/(used in) financing activities	4,565		(887)
Net (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash	(11,579)		942
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of the period	34,719		30,657
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash	(2,727)		(1,384)
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash at the end of the period	$	20,413	$	30,215

We fund our operations, capital expenditure and acquisitions through cash generated from operating activities, cash on hand and our undrawn borrowing facilities.

It is currently our policy to pay regular dividends, and we consider such dividend payments on a quarter-by-quarter basis.

On May 23, 2017, the MiX Telematics Board approved a share repurchase program of up to R270 million (equivalent of $14.3 million as of September 30, 2023) under which we may repurchase our ordinary shares, including ADSs. On December 3, 2021, the Board approved an increase to the share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase ordinary shares, including ADSs. Post this increase, and after giving effect to shares already purchased under the program as at December 2, 2021, the Company could repurchase additional shares with a cumulative value of R160 million ($10.0 million). The total value of the whole share repurchase program post the December 3, 2021 increase is R396.5 million ($24.9 million). Additional shares to the value of R98.5 million (equivalent of $5.2 million as of September 30, 2023) may still be repurchased.

No shares were repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, shares with a value of R10.2 million (equivalent of $0.5 million as of September 30, 2023) were repurchased under the share repurchase program.

As a result of signing the Implementation Agreement with Powerfleet, we have discontinued repurchases under the share repurchase program.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of our cash generated from operations of $2.0 million and net interest received of $0.1 million, offset by taxes paid of $0.5 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of our cash generated from operations of $14.9 million, offset by taxes paid of $1.2 million and net interest paid of $0.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $1.6 million generated during the six months ended September 30, 2022 to $13.4 million generated during the six months ended September 30, 2023. This is primarily attributable to an increase in cash generated from operations of $12.9 million, offset by increased net interest paid of $0.4 million and increased taxes paid of $0.6 million. The higher cash generated from operations is primarily as a result of an

increase in net income of $2.4 million and an improvement in working capital management of $8.0 million (specifically a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.3 million, a decrease in inventories of $1.7 million, an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $2.1 million, an increase in accounts payables of $3.9 million, partially offset by an increase in capitalized commissions of $1.0 million due to higher revenues, an increase in accounts receivables of $0.5 million and adverse changes in foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.5 million).

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2022 was $17.7 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $14.1 million and cash paid for business combination of $3.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.1 million. Capital expenditures during the six months ended September 30, 2022 included purchases of intangible assets of $2.9 million and cash paid to purchase property and equipment of $11.2 million, which included in-vehicle devices of $10.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to $11.6 million from $17.7 million in the six months ended September 30, 2022. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $11.3 million and deferred consideration paid of $0.3 million. Capital expenditures during the six months ended September 30, 2023 included purchases of intangible assets of $2.9 million and cash paid to purchase property and equipment of $8.5 million, which included in-vehicle devices of $8.0 million.

Financing Activities

In the six months ended September 30, 2022, the cash from financing activities of $4.6 million included $7.4 million from facilities utilized for working capital purposes in the Africa segment, offset by dividends paid of $2.7 million and shares repurchased of $0.1 million.

In the six months ended September 30, 2023, the cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million includes dividends paid of $2.7 million and shares repurchased of $0.5 million, offset by $2.3 million from facilities utilized.

Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were net cash balances of $12.6 million (consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $29.5 million less short-term debt of $16.9 million (bank overdraft of $16.2 million and book overdraft of $0.7 million) and an unutilized borrowing capacity of $16.5 million available through our credit facilities. As of September 30, 2023, our principal sources of credit are our facilities with Standard Bank, Nedbank and Investec Bank Limited (“Investec”).

The Investec credit facilities are comprised of a 364-day renewable committed general credit facility of R350 million ($22 million at a USD/ZAR exchange rate of $1:ZAR 16.1546), (the “Committed Facility”) and an uncommitted general credit facility of $10 million (the “Uncommitted Facility”). The Committed Facility is in the process of being renewed.

Under the Committed Facility, we will pay a commitment fee charged at 30bps on any undrawn portion of the Committed Facility (plus VAT on such amount), calculated monthly and payable, free of deduction, monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month. The Uncommitted Facility is repayable on demand by Investec and a fee of 10bps per annum shall be charged on any undrawn portion of the Uncommitted Facility (plus VAT on such amount), calculated monthly and payable, free of deduction, monthly in arrears on the seventh business day of each month.

The loans under the Committed Facility bear interest at South African prime interest rate less 1.5% per annum and the loans under the Uncommitted Facility bear interest at overnight or daily negotiable rates, in each case which such interest shall accrue on all amounts outstanding under the Committed Facility or the Uncommitted Facility, as the case may be, payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month, or as otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement. Investec shall advise us of any changes to the applicable interest rate. As of September 30, 2023, $13.3 million of the facility was utilized. We will use this facility for working capital purposes.

Up until November 14, 2022, we had the following facilities under the facility letter with Standard Bank, an overdraft facility of R64.0 million (the equivalent of $3.4 million as of September 30, 2023), a working capital facility of R25.0 million (the equivalent of $1.3 million as of September 30, 2023) and a vehicle and asset finance facility of R8.5

million (the equivalent of $0.4 million as of September 30, 2023) that bore interest at South African Prime less 1.2% except for the working capital facility that bore interest at South African Prime less 0.25%.

On November 15, 2022, we concluded a second amendment to the credit agreement with Standard Bank, which entitles us to utilize a maximum amount of R70.0 million (the equivalent of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2023), in the form of a customer foreign currency account overdraft facility (the “CFC Overdraft Facility”). All other facilities under the facility letter with Standard Bank were replaced by the CFC Overdraft Facility. The CFC Overdraft Facility has no fixed renewal date and is repayable on demand. The CFC Overdraft Facility bears interest at the South African Prime interest rate less 1.2% per annum. We use this facility as part of our foreign currency hedging strategy. We draw down on this facility in the applicable foreign currency in order to fix the exchange rate on the existing balance sheet foreign currency exposure that we anticipate settling in that foreign currency. As of September 30, 2023, $2.9 million of the CFC Overdraft Facility was utilized.

In November 2022, we also terminated the suretyship securing our indebtedness (among other parties), to Standard Bank, which was signed by us and our subsidiaries: MiX Telematics Africa and MiX Telematics International. A new suretyship agreement was entered into providing that us and only one subsidiary being MiX Telematics International, binds themselves as surety(ies) and co-principal debtor(s) for the payment, when due, of all the present and future debts of any kind of us and MiX Telematics International to Standard Bank. The security release letter also provided that Standard Bank’s claims to any security furnished by us and our subsidiaries under the original suretyship agreement was released upon signature of the new suretyship agreement.
