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 preliminary unaudited financial results, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023, which ended March 31, 2023.
Management Commentary
“Closing out the fiscal year, we are proud to have surpassed the one million subscriber milestone,” said CEO Stefan Joselowitz. “In addition, we expanded our adjusted EBITDA to 25% and continued to generate strong, positive free cash flow. Throughout the quarter, we executed well against our plan and finished the year in-line with our expectations.
“As we move into fiscal year 2024, despite general uncertainties in the macro-economic environment, we remain confident that we have the necessary levers within our operational structure to maintain our balanced approach to growth, while delivering strong free cash flow and profitability. Our team continues to work towards delivering consistent ‘rule of 40’ performance in the medium-term. M&A still remains a key component of our long-term objectives, and our corporate development team is actively evaluating a range of potential prospects.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Subscription Revenue: Subscription revenue increased to $32.5 million, compared to $31.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Field Service Management (“FSM”) business acquired on September 2, 2022 contributed $2.4 million to the subscription revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. Subscription revenue increased by 14.2% on a constant currency basis, year over year, of which 6.7% is attributable to the FSM business acquisition. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company’s subscriber base increased by a net 42,700 subscribers, mainly due to the Africa segment, with strong contributions across the asset tracking and light fleet solution categories. Subscription revenue represented 88.2% of total revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
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 fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the South African Rand weakened by 16% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R17.75 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to an average of R15.25 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 led to a 10.2% decrease in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenue.
Total Revenue: Total revenue increased to $36.9 million, compared to $36.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, total revenue increased by 11.6% on a constant currency basis, year over year. Hardware and other revenue was $4.3 million, a decrease of 10.2%, compared to $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, hardware and other revenue decreased by 5.2% 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 fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 led to a 9.5% decrease in reported U.S. Dollar total revenue.
Gross Margin: Gross profit was $22.7 million, compared to $23.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Gross profit margin decreased 260 basis points to 61.5%, compared to 64.1% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The subscription revenue margin during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 68.3%, compared to 69.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.
Income From Operations: Income from operations was $3.6 million, compared to $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Operating income margin decreased 70 basis points to 9.9%, compared to 10.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, Administration and other costs included restructuring costs of $0.9 million as a result of restructuring plans implemented, which accounted for a 250 basis point decline in the operating income margin. The Company expects the related cost savings and resultant operating income margin improvement to take effect during fiscal year 2024. Operating expenses of $19.1 million decreased by $0.3 million, or 1.6%, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. It should be noted that the FSM business contributed $1.5 million of the total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income was $2.3 million, compared to net income of $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, net income included a net foreign exchange gain of $0.4 million before tax and a $0.7 million charge from the income tax effect of net foreign exchange gains (which includes a $1.0 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 $0.3 million deferred tax credit on other foreign exchange gains). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, net income included a net foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million before tax and a $2.0 million credit from the income tax effect of net foreign exchange losses (which includes a $1.7 million deferred tax credit on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics and MiX Investments and a $0.3 million deferred tax credit on other foreign exchange losses).
Earnings per diluted ordinary share was 0.4 U.S. cents, compared to 0.6 U.S. cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the calculation was based on diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 556.1 million compared to 560.6 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The FSM business acquired on September 2, 2022 contributed $5.6 million to the subscription revenue during fiscal year 2023. Subscription revenue increased by 11.9% on a constant currency basis, of which 4.5% is attributable to the FSM business acquisition. During fiscal year 2023, the Company’s subscriber base increased by a net 186,700 subscribers. Subscription revenue represented 87.4% of total revenue during fiscal year 2023.
The majority of the Company’s total revenue and subscription revenue are derived from currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

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, acquisition-related costs, non-recurring legal costs, net interest expense, net foreign exchange losses/gains, net loss/profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation costs, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation, amortization, 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:
|
-
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.
-
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.
-
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $0.4 million, $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million of the restructuring costs related to the Middle East and Australasia, North America, CSO and Europe reporting segments, respectively.
-
Includes legal related costs for a non-recurring patent infringement matter, that has been resolved.

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, net interest expense, net foreign exchange losses/gains, 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, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation costs, net loss/profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, non-recurring legal costs, acquisition-related 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:
-
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, 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 losses/gains, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs and contingent consideration remeasurement, net of tax. During the current period, the adjusted net income definition has been updated also to exclude restructuring costs and contingent consideration remeasurement. The Company does not believe that such restructuring costs reflect its ongoing, core operations because of its non-periodic nature. Therefore, the adjusted net income definition has been updated in the current period to exclude restructuring costs, thereby allowing investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results.
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 losses/gains, restructuring costs, acquisition-related 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.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company incurred significant restructuring costs due to restructuring plans implemented as part of a cost saving initiative. The comparative periods in the above table have been re-presented to reflect the inclusion of such new adjustments. This resulted in an immaterial decrease in the adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a $0.1 million increase in the adjusted net income for fiscal year 2022.

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 ADS in issue during the period. During the current period, the adjusted net income per share definition has been updated also to exclude restructuring costs and contingent consideration remeasurement. The Company does not believe that such restructuring costs reflect its ongoing, core operations because of its non-periodic nature. Therefore, the adjusted net income per share definition has been updated in the current period to exclude restructuring costs, thereby allowing investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results.
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 losses/gains, restructuring costs, acquisition-related 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.

The adjusted effective tax rate is defined as income tax benefit/expense excluding the income tax effect of net foreign exchange losses/gains, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs and contingent consideration remeasurement divided by income before income tax expense excluding net foreign exchange losses/gains, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs and contingent consideration remeasurement. During the current period, the adjusted effective tax rate definition has been updated also to exclude restructuring costs and contingent consideration remeasurement. The Company does not believe that such restructuring costs reflect its ongoing, core operations because of its non-periodic nature. Therefore, the adjusted effective tax rate definition has been updated in the current period to exclude restructuring costs, thereby allowing investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results.
A reconciliation of the effective tax rate (the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP) to the adjusted effective tax rate for the periods shown is presented below (in thousands and unaudited):

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company incurred significant restructuring costs due to restructuring plans implemented as part of a cost saving initiative. The comparative periods in the above table have been re-presented to reflect the inclusion of such new adjustments. The adjusted effective tax rate increased by 0.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and decreased by 0.2% for fiscal year 2022.

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

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):
