Second Quarter Highlights:
MiX Telematics Limited (“MiX Telematics” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MIXT, JSE: MIX), a leading global Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) provider of connected fleet management solutions, today announced financial results, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ended September 30, 2023.
Management Commentary
“We delivered another strong quarter with record subscriber growth, increased profitability and solid free cash flow,” said MiX Group CEO Stefan Joselowitz. “With the macro-environment remaining uncertain and volatility persisting across many of our markets, our model continues to be resilient, and our balance sheet remains a strategic asset. Our subscriber base is now well over the one million mark and adjusted EBITDA has increased in line with our profitability objectives. We are making steady and sustainable progress towards achieving a Rule of 40 performance in the medium-term.”
Joselowitz continued, “On the 10th of October, we announced a transformative business combination with Powerfleet (Nasdaq: PWFL). This merger will result in one of the largest global providers of connected vehicle SaaS solutions and I firmly believe that this is the ideal path forward for our organization and shareholders. Post close, we anticipate the direct Nasdaq listing will provide us with significantly increased market exposure and an expanded investor base. The combination is expected to unlock further shareholder value through its meaningfully increased scale, enhanced R&D activities, and leveraging our combined best-in-class SaaS solutions to further capitalize on the significant global market opportunity.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Subscription Revenue: Subscription revenue increased to $32.4 million, compared to $30.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Field Service Management (“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 increased by 10.4% on a constant currency basis, year over year, of which 2.9% is attributable to the FSM business acquisition. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company’s subscriber base increased by a net 47,400 subscribers, mainly due to the Africa segment. Subscription revenue represented 85.9% of total revenue during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.
The majority of the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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.
Total Revenue: Total revenue increased to $37.8 million, compared to $35.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, total revenue increased by 11.5% on a constant currency basis, year over year. Hardware and other revenue increased to $5.3 million, an increase of 16.7%, compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. On a constant currency basis, hardware and other revenue increased by 18.9%.
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.
Gross Margin: Gross profit was $23.3 million, compared to $22.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Gross profit margin decreased 110 basis points to 61.6%, compared to 62.7% for 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 during the current quarter.
Income From Operations: Income from operations was $2.5 million, compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Operating income margin increased 240 basis points to 6.6%, compared to 4.2% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Operating expenses of $20.8 million increased by $0.2 million, or 0.8%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 included $0.8 million in strategic costs related to the proposed Powerfleet Transaction (as defined below). See the “Recent Developments” section below for more information about the Powerfleet Transaction.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income was $0.2 million, compared to the net loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. 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”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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).
Earnings per diluted ordinary share was positive 0.04 U.S. cents, compared to negative 0.2 U.S. cents in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. For the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the calculation was based on diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 554.0 million compared to 552.2 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. On a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one American Depositary Share (“ADS”), earnings per diluted ADS were positive 1.1 U.S. cents compared to negative 5 U.S. cents in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $8.5 million, compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 550 basis points to 22.5%, compared to 17.0% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share: Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.9 million, compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Adjusted net income per diluted ordinary share was 0.2 U.S. cents, compared to 0.1 U.S. cents in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, the adjusted net income per diluted ADS was 4 U.S. cents compared to 3 U.S. cents in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate: The Company’s effective tax rate was 90.2%, compared to 161.5% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. 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% compared to 63.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow: At September 30, 2023, the Company had $29.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $29.9 million at March 31, 2023.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased to $8.5 million compared to $2.3 million net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company invested $6.4 million in capital expenditures (including investments in in-vehicle devices of $4.5 million), leading to free cash flow of $2.1 million, a non-GAAP measure, in the quarter. The Company incurred negative free cash flow of $5.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 when the Company invested $7.4 million in capital expenditures (including investments in in-vehicle devices of $5.8 million).
Net cash used in investing activities for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $6.6 million, compared to $11.1 million net cash used in investing activities for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, which included $3.7 million paid by MiX Telematics North America for the acquisition of the FSM business.
Net cash from financing activities amounted to $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to $4.9 million net cash from financing activities during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The cash from financing activities during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 mainly consisted of short-term debt facilities utilized of $2.3 million, offset by dividends paid of $1.3 million. The cash from financing activities during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 consisted of short-term debt facilities utilized of $6.3 million, offset by dividends paid of $1.3 million and ordinary shares repurchased of $0.1 million.
During the quarter, the South African Rand weakened against the U.S. Dollar from R18.73 at June 30, 2023 to R18.90 at September 30, 2023 and as a result, cash decreased by $0.4 million due to foreign exchange losses.

Recent Developments
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 10, 2023, the Company, entered into an Implementation Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, PowerFleet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Powerfleet”), 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 the issued ordinary shares of the Company, including the ordinary shares represented by the Company’s 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”), the Company will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet.
The implementation of the Scheme will result in the delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE”) and the delisting of the Company’s 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 the Company’s shareholders and approval from Powerfleet’s stockholders.

Segment Information
Our operating segments are based on the geographical location of our Regional Sales Offices (“RSOs”) and also include our Central Services Organization (“CSO”). CSO is our central services organization that wholesales our products and services to our RSOs who, in turn, interface with our end-customers, distributors and dealers. CSO is also responsible for the development of our hardware and software platforms and provides common marketing, product management, technical and distribution support to each of our other operating segments.
Each RSO’s results reflect the external revenue earned, as well as its performance before the remaining CSO and corporate costs allocations. Segment performance is measured and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“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.
The segment information provided to the CODM is as follows (in thousands and unaudited):

Description of reconciling items: 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 the “Recent Developments” section above.
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.
Annexure A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics
We use certain measures to assess the financial performance of the 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.
In addition to providing the non-GAAP financial measures mentioned above, we disclose ARR to give investors supplementary indicators of the value of our current recurring revenue contracts. ARR represents the estimated annualized value of recurring revenue for subscription contracts that have commenced revenue recognition as of the measurement date.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 press release because they are key measures that the Company’s management and Board of Directors use to understand and evaluate its 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 the Company’s core business. Accordingly, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its 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 (in thousands and unaudited):

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:
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 loss/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 press release 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.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share
Adjusted net income per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares or ADSs in issue during the period.
We have included adjusted net income per share in this press release 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.

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 the Company’s cash flows as it provides detail of the amount of cash the Company generates or utilizes after accounting for all capital expenditures including investments in in-vehicle devices.

Constant Currency
Constant currency information has been presented to illustrate the impact of changes in currency rates on the Company’s results. The constant currency information has been determined by adjusting the current financial reporting period results to the prior period average exchange rates, determined as the average of the monthly exchange rates applicable to the period. The measurement has been performed for each of the Company’s 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 period 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 (in thousands, except year over year change) provide the unaudited constant currency reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods shown:

Key Business Metrics
Annual Recurring Revenue
We believe that ARR is a key indicator of the trajectory of our business performance and serves as an indicator of future subscription revenue growth. We define ARR as the annualized value of subscription contracts that have commenced revenue recognition as of the measurement date. ARR is calculated by taking the subscription revenue for the last month of the period, multiplied by 12. It provides a 12-month forward view of revenue, assuming unit numbers, pricing and foreign exchange rates (the average monthly exchange rates applicable to the last month of the period) remain unchanged during the year. Constant currency ARR growth has been determined by adjusting the prior financial reporting period results to the last month of the current period average exchange rates, determined as the average monthly exchange rates applicable to the last month of the period.
ARR does not have a standardized meaning and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace it. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the date used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed.
ARR is included in the following table (in thousands and unaudited):
