Midrand, South Africa and Boca Raton, May 27, 2021 - MiX Telematics Limited (“MiX Telematics”) (NYSE: MIXT, JSE: MIX), a leading global Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) provider of connected fleet management solutions, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2021, which ended March 31, 2021.
“MiX’s fourth quarter performance demonstrated continued success against our key initiatives for fiscal 2021, particularly profitability and cash generation. We continued to see modest improvements in many of our key end markets and business metrics,” said Stefan Joselowitz, Chief Executive Officer of MiX Telematics.
Joselowitz continued, “We enter fiscal 2022 a stronger, more resilient company with a focus on returning the business to growth. We believe the strategic value we delivered to customers during challenging times and the investments we are making across the business position us well to meet our long-term financial targets.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Subscription Revenues: Subscription revenues were $30.8 million, a decrease of 2.2% compared to $31.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Subscription revenues represented 89.6% of total revenues during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Subscription revenues decreased by 4.0% on a constant currency basis, year over year. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company’s subscriber base contracted by a net 4,800 subscribers. The contraction was due to a major energy sector customer reducing its fleet’s size which resulted in a reduction of 6,100 subscribers in the quarter. In order to effect this contraction, the Company received a contract modification fee as part of the contract extension and $1.1 million has been recognized in subscription revenues in the current quarter.
The majority of our revenues and subscription revenues are derived from currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against these currencies (in particular against the South African Rand) following recent currency volatility, has positively impacted our revenue and subscription revenues reported in U.S. Dollars. Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the South African Rand strengthened by 2% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R14.96 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to an average of R15.32 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 led to a 1.8% increase in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenues.
Total Revenues: Total revenues were $34.3 million, a decrease of 5.2% compared to $36.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Total revenues decreased by 7.4% on a constant currency basis, year over year. Hardware and other revenues were $3.6 million, a decrease of 25.2%, compared to $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 led to a 2.2% increase in reported U.S. Dollar revenues.
Gross Margin: Gross profit was $22.2 million, compared to $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Gross profit margin was 64.5%, compared to 57.4% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The lower gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was attributable to accelerated amortization of in-vehicle devices following contraction in certain fleets in the oil and gas vertical in the Americas segment.
Income From Operations: Income from operations was $5.9 million, compared to $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Operating income margin was 17.2%, compared to 10.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Operating expenses of $16.2 million decreased by $0.8 million, or 4.9%, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the calculation was based on diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 565.0 million compared to 547.7 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. On a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one American Depositary Share (“ADS”), earnings per diluted ADS was 12 U.S. cents compared to negative 11 U.S. cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 47.3%, compared to 174.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Ignoring the impact of net foreign exchange losses net of tax, the tax rate used in determining non-GAAP net income below was 41.4% compared to 28.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $11.3 million, compared to $10.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 32.9%, compared to 29.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, the non-GAAP net income per diluted ADS was 15 U.S. cents compared to 13 U.S. cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flow: At March 31, 2021, the Company had $45.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $18.0 million at March 31, 2020.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $7.6 million compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company invested $2.5 million in capital expenditures (including investments in in-vehicle devices of $1.3 million), leading to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, of $5.2 million in the quarter. The Company generated free cash flow of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 when the Company invested $2.8 million in capital expenditures (including investments in in-vehicle devices of $0.6 million).
Net cash utilized by financing activities amounted to $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to $4.5 million utilized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The cash utilized by financing activities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 consisted of dividends paid of $1.5 million and $1.2 million from a reduction in facilities utilized. The cash utilized in financing activities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 consisted of $1.6 million for the repurchase of ordinary shares, a repayment in short-term debt of $1.5 million and dividends paid of $1.4 million.
During the quarter, the South African Rand weakened against the U.S. Dollar from R14.65 at December 31, 2020 to R14.92 at March 31, 2021 and as a result, cash decreased by $1.0 million due to foreign exchange losses.

Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021
Subscription Revenues: Subscription revenues were $113.4 million, a decrease of 11.1% compared to $127.6 million for fiscal 2020. Subscription revenues represented 89.3% of total revenues during fiscal 2021. Subscription revenues decreased by 6.1% on a constant currency basis. The decline in constant currency subscription revenue was primarily due to the contraction in the Company’s subscriber base as a result of economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. During fiscal 2021, the Company’s subscriber base contracted by a net 73,800 subscribers.
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 currency volatility arising from the economic disruption caused by COVID-19, has negatively impacted our revenue and subscription revenues reported in U.S. Dollars. Compared to fiscal year 2020, the South African Rand weakened by 11% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R16.37 during fiscal year 2021 compared to an average of R14.78 for fiscal year 2020. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during fiscal 2021 led to a 5.0% reduction in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenues.
Total Revenues: Total revenues for fiscal 2021 were $126.9 million, a decrease of 12.9% compared to $145.7 million for fiscal 2020. Total revenues decreased by 8.3% on a constant currency basis. Hardware and other revenues were $13.5 million, a decrease of 25.1%, compared to $18.1 million for fiscal 2020.
The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during fiscal 2021 led to a 4.6% reduction in reported U.S. Dollar revenues.

During fiscal 2020, net income included a net foreign exchange loss of $0.6 million and a $4.3 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics and MiX Investments.
Earnings per diluted ordinary share was 2.6 U.S. cents, compared to 1.9 U.S. cents in fiscal 2020. For fiscal 2021, the calculation was based on diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 560.6 million compared to 567.9 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue during fiscal 2020. On a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, earnings per diluted ADS was 65 U.S. cents compared to 48 U.S. cents in fiscal 2020.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.3%, compared to 47.2% for fiscal 2020. Ignoring the impact of net foreign exchange losses net of tax, the tax rate used in determining non-GAAP net income below was 34.6% compared to 27.1% in fiscal 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $37.2 million, compared to $41.7 million for fiscal 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, for fiscal 2021 was 29.3%, compared to 28.6% in fiscal 2020.

Non-GAAP net income per diluted ordinary share was 2.1 U.S. cents, compared to 2.8 U.S. cents for fiscal 2020. At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, the non-GAAP net income per diluted ADS was 53 U.S. cents compared to 69 U.S. cents in fiscal 2020.

The cash utilized by financing activities during fiscal 2021 consisted of dividends paid of $5.4 million and a repayment in short-term debt of $0.7 million, offset by proceeds of $0.9 million from the issue of ordinary shares in relation to the exercise of stock options. The cash utilized in financing activities during fiscal 2020 consisted of $9.8 million for the repurchase of ordinary shares and dividends paid of $6.0 million, offset by facilities utilized of $0.3 million.
During the year, the South African Rand strengthened against the U.S. Dollar from R17.92 at March 31, 2020 to R14.92 at March 31, 2021 and as a result, cash increased by $3.0 million due to foreign exchange gains.

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 which uses net income, determined under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as a starting point.
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 leases have been capitalized, except for leases with a term of no more than 12 months or leases of low value assets. Where operating leases are capitalized for segment reporting purposes, the amortization of the right-of-use asset and the interest on the operating lease liability are excluded from the Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, in order to reconcile Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income before taxes, 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 net income before taxes, product development costs capitalized for segment reporting purposes need to be deducted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3.For segment reporting purposes, a loss contingency (51% probability), had been raised prior to fiscal 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the loss contingency was no longer needed because an outflow was considered remote. For GAAP, this loss contingency was never recognized because the recognition requirements of ASC 450 Contingencies had never been met. Therefore, in order to reconcile Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income before taxes, the decreases to the loss contingency, recognized for segment reporting purposes, needed to be deducted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
4.During fiscal 2021, $0.7 million, $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million of the restructuring costs related to the CSO, Africa, North America and Middle East and Australasia reporting segments, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Annexure A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, free cash flow and constant currency.
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 chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as the income before income taxes, net interest income, net foreign exchange gains/(losses), depreciation of property 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, restructuring costs and profits/(losses) on the disposal or impairments of assets or subsidiaries. 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 to Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, for the periods shown is presented below (in thousands and unaudited):

2.Includes amortization of intangible assets (including intangible assets identified as part of a business combination). | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
13
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 the Company;
•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, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including income from operations, net income and our other results.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share
Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income excluding net foreign exchange gains/(losses) net of tax.
We have included non-GAAP 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) net of tax and associated tax consequences from earnings. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP net income per share provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.
The following tables (in thousands, except per share data, and unaudited) reconcile Net (Loss)/Income to Non-GAAP Net Income and Diluted Net Income Per Ordinary Share or ADS to Non-GAAP Net Income Per Ordinary Share or ADS for the periods shown:

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is determined as net cash 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:
