Midrand, South Africa, May 28, 2015 - MiX Telematics Limited (NYSE: MIXT, JSE: MIX), a leading global provider of
fleet and mobile asset management solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), today announced financial
results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2015, which ended March 31, 2015.
“We have closed out fiscal year 2015 with solid revenue growth, strong profitability and excellent cash flow. We
grew subscription revenue 17%, posted a 20% Adjusted EBITDA margin and generated free cash flow of nearly R90 million
for the year," said Stefan Joselowitz, Chief Executive Officer of MiX Telematics. "We were delighted to break through
the half-million subscribers level as few telematics solutions providers have achieved this type of critical mass.
We are winning important new business, as well as signing meaningful expansions with key customers. Throughout the
year we have made adjustments to our overhead cost structures that we believe are suited to the current challenging
conditions in some markets, and enable us to maintain our balanced approach to producing growth, profitability and
cash flow."
Financial performance for the three months ended March 31, 2015
Revenue: Total revenue was R367.7 million ($30.4 million), an increase of 5.5% compared to R348.4 million ($28.8 million)
for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. Subscription revenue was R266.3 million ($22.0 million), an increase
of 14.5% compared with R232.6 million ($19.2 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. Growth in subscription
revenue was driven primarily by an increase of over 61,800 subscribers, which resulted in an increase in subscribers of
13.7% from March 2014 to March 2015. Hardware and other revenue was R101.4 million ($8.4 million), a decrease of 12.5%
compared to R115.8 million ($9.6 million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Gross Margin: Gross profit was R257.4 million ($21.3 million), as compared to R241.0 million ($19.9 million) for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2014. Gross profit margin was 70.0%, compared to 69.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Operating Margin: Operating profit was R59.2 million ($4.9 million), compared to R61.1 million ($5.1 million) for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2014. Operating margin was 16.1%, compared to 17.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. The
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015's operating margin has improved from prior quarters in fiscal year 2015 as a result of the
restructuring activities implemented in the Middle East and Australasia segment together with additional cost reduction
initiatives. The cost savings from the Africa restructuring activities implemented in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015
will only be effective towards the end of the first quarter of the 2016 fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was R83.9 million ($6.9 million) compared to R84.6 million ($7.0 million)
for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-IFRS measure, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2015 was 22.8%, compared to 24.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Profit for the period and earnings per share: Profit for the period was R52.1 million ($4.3 million), compared to R50.4 million
($4.2 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. Earnings per diluted ordinary share were 7 South African cents,
compared to 6 South African cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the
calculation was based on diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 801.4 million compared to 808.9 million diluted
weighted average ordinary shares in issue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter was 37.1% in comparison to 25.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the March 31, 2015 exchange rate of R12.0907 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25
ordinary shares to one American Depositary Share (“ADS”), profit for the period was $4.3 million, or 14 U.S. cent per
diluted ADS.
Adjusted earnings for the period and adjusted earnings per share: Adjusted earnings for the period, a non-IFRS
measure, was R38.7 million ($3.2 million), compared to R46.6 million ($3.9 million) in the fourth quarter of the 2014 fiscal
year and excludes a net foreign exchange gain of R21.9 million ($1.8 million). The net foreign exchange gain includes
R26.9 million ($2.2 million) relating to a foreign exchange gain on the IPO proceeds which are maintained in U.S. Dollars
and are therefore sensitive to R:$ exchange rate movements. Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share, also a non-IFRS
measure, were 5 South African cents, compared to 6 South African cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the March 31, 2015 exchange rate of R12.0907 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25
ordinary shares to one ADS, adjusted profit for the period was $3.2 million, or 10 U.S. cents per diluted ADS.
Statement of Financial Position and Cash Flow: At March 31, 2015, the Company had R945.4 million ($78.2 million) of
cash and cash equivalents, compared to R830.4 million ($68.7 million) at March 31, 2014. The Company generated R89.7
million ($7.4 million) in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and invested R31.9
million ($2.6 million) in capital expenditures during the quarter, leading to free cash flow of R57.8 million ($4.8
million) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared with free cash flow of R50.8 million ($4.2 million) for the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
An explanation of non-IFRS measures used in this press release is set out in the Non-IFRS financial measures section
of this press release. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures is
provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Financial performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015
Revenue: Total revenue for fiscal year 2015 was R1,389.4 million ($114.9 million), an increase of 9.3% compared to
R1,271.7 million ($105.2 million) for fiscal year 2014. Subscription revenue increased to R998.3 million ($82.6 million),
up 16.9% from R853.7 million ($70.6 million) for fiscal year 2014. Subscription revenue growth was driven primarily by
the addition of over 61,800 subscribers since the end of fiscal 2014. Hardware and other revenue was R391.0 million ($32.3
million), compared to R417.9 million ($34.6 million) for fiscal year 2014.
Gross margin: Gross profit for fiscal year 2015 was R939.7 million ($77.7 million), an increase compared to R849.6
million ($70.3 million) for fiscal year 2014. Gross profit margin was 67.6%, up from 66.8% for fiscal year 2014. In fiscal
2015, subscription revenue, which generates a higher gross profit margin than hardware and other revenue, contributed
71.9% of total revenue compared to 67.1% in fiscal 2014.
Operating margin: Operating profit for fiscal year 2015 was R149.9 million ($12.4 million), compared to R171.5 million
($14.2 million) posted in fiscal year 2014. The operating margin for fiscal year 2015 was 10.8%, compared to the 13.5%
posted in fiscal year 2014. The Company is executing its strategy of investing in sales and marketing and as a result
sales and marketing costs for fiscal 2015 increased by R23.9 million ($2.0 million) or 16.2% from fiscal 2014.
Administration and other costs increased by R89.4 million ($7.4 million) or 16.8% primarily as a result of increased employee costs
incurred to support the Company’s growth initiatives. The restructuring plans implemented in the Middle East and
Australasia segments in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 together with other cost reduction initiatives have already
contributed towards an improvement in the operating margin. The company expects further cost savings and resultant operating
margin improvement when the cost savings from the Africa restructuring activities, implemented in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2015, take effect in the 2016 fiscal year. Administration and other costs included non-recurring litigation
costs of R7.9 million ($0.7 million) and restructuring costs of R11.3 million ($0.9 million) in fiscal year 2015 while
fiscal year 2014 included non-recurring initial public offering costs of R8.5 million ($0.7 million).
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was R275.1 million ($22.8 million) compared to R282.2 million ($23.3 million) for
fiscal year 2014. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2015 was 19.8%, compared with the 22.2% in fiscal year 2014.
Profit for the year and earnings per share: Profit for fiscal year 2015 was R149.0 million ($12.3 million), compared
to R151.6 million ($12.5 million) in fiscal year 2014. Earnings per diluted ordinary share were 19 South African
cents,compared to 20 South African cents in fiscal year 2014. For fiscal year 2015, the calculation was based on diluted
weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 804.4 million, compared to 768.3 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares
in issue during fiscal year 2014.
The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 was 35.4% in comparison to 28.6% in fiscal year 2014.
Adjusted earnings for the period and adjusted earnings per share: Adjusted profit for fiscal year 2015, a non-IFRS
measure, was R102.0 million ($8.4 million), compared to R123.9 million ($10.3 million) in fiscal year 2014 and excludes a
net foreign exchange gain of R73.5 million ($6.1 million). The net foreign exchange gain includes R85.6 million ($7.1
million) relating to a foreign exchange gain on the IPO proceeds which are maintained in U.S. Dollars and are therefore
sensitive to R:$ exchange rate movements. Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share were 13 South African cents,
compared to 16 South African cents in fiscal year 2014.
On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the March 31, 2015 exchange rate of R12.0907 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25
ordinary shares to one ADS, adjusted profit for fiscal year 2015 was $8.4 million, or 26 U.S. cents per diluted ADS,
compared to $10.3 million, or 33 U.S. cents per diluted ADS in fiscal year 2014.
Cash Flow: The Company generated R217.6 million ($18.0 million) in net cash from operating activities for fiscal year
2015 and invested R129.3 million ($10.7 million) in capital expenditures during the period, leading to free cash flow of
R88.3 million ($7.3 million) for fiscal year 2015, compared with free cash flow of R75.0 million ($6.2 million) for
fiscal year 2014. The increase in free cash flow is primarily attributable to an increase in cash generated from operating
activities.
Segment commentary for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015
Segment Revenue % change on prior year Adjusted EBITDA % change on prior year Adjusted EBITDA
Fiscal Fiscal Margin
2015 2015 Fiscal
R’000 R’000 2015
Africa 709,928 7.4% 201,750 1.4% 28.4%
The subscriber base has grown by 13.8% since March 31, 2014. This, together with the additional subscription
revenue of R11.0 million ($0.9 million) resulting from the Compass acquisition in November 2014, resulted in
growth in subscription revenue of 13.2%. Total revenue growth was lower at 7.4% as a result of lower hardware
revenues. The revenue mix shift towards bundled sales for fleet products continued to gather momentum in fiscal
year 2015 although sales levels lagged those of fiscal year 2014. The segment continues to perform well at an
Adjusted EBITDA level reporting an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.4%.
Europe 160,678 - 4,588 (37.0%) 2.9%
The region’s subscriber base grew 18% from March 31, 2014 with improved growth in the second half of fiscal year
2015. This resulted in subscription revenue growth of 9.6% on a constant currency basis. Total revenue declined
on a constant currency basis due to lower hardware revenues as a result of a significant upfront hardware deal in
fiscal year 2014. In Rand terms revenue growth was flat due to the weakening of the Rand against the British
Pound. The region reported a positive Adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.9%.
Americas 166,359 24.0% (2,684) 59.0% (1.6%)
The subscriber base increased by 11.0% from March 31, 2014 which included a transfer from the Middle East and
Australasia segment. Subscription revenue growth was 10.4% on a constant currency basis and there was also 17.8%
growth in hardware and other revenue on a constant currency basis. The Rand based revenue growth is also enhanced
by the weakening of the Rand against the U.S. Dollar in fiscal year 2015. During fiscal year 2015 both the
management team and sales and distribution capacity were strengthened in order to position the segment for future
growth in both North and South America and as a result the region posted a negative Adjusted EBITDA margin.
Middle East
and
Australasia 328,556 7.2% 22,304 (2.2%) 6.8%
Subscribers increased 10.2% from March 31, 2014 despite a subscriber transfer to the Americas segment. While
subscription revenue increased by 12.1% on a constant currency basis, total revenue declined marginally on a
constant currency basis as a result of lower hardware revenues. However, in Rand terms the segment showed growth as a
result of Rand weakness in fiscal year 2015. The segment’s results improved significantly in the second half of
the 2015 fiscal year and the segment reported a full year positive Adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.8% despite a
negative Adjusted EBITDA margin of 0.5% in the first half of fiscal year 2015. This is primarily attributable to
higher subscription revenue, improved hardware sales and operating cost savings from the restructuring activities.
Brazil 23,056 93.7% (12,567) (8.1%) (54.5%)
The subscriber base increased by 48.8% from March 31, 2014 while revenue grew at 93.7%.
As the operation is still in a start up phase it posted an expected Adjusted EBITDA loss.
Central Services
Organization 375,836 4.8% 101,877 (0.9%) 27.1%
Central Services Organization (“CSO”) is a central services organization that wholesales our products and services
to our regional operations who, in turn, interface with our end-customers and distributors. CSO is also responsible
for the development of our hardware and software platforms. CSO continues to benefit from the subscriber growth
throughout the Company and delivered an adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.1%.
Business Outlook
MiX Telematics has translated U.S. Dollar amounts in this Business Outlook paragraph from South African Rand at the
exchange rate of R11.9286 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by Oanda.com as at May 26, 2015.
Based on information as of today, May 28, 2015, the Company is issuing the following financial guidance for the full
2016 fiscal year:
- Revenue - R1,523 million to R1,558 million ($127.7 million to $130.6 million), which would represent revenue growth of
9.6% to 12.1% compared to fiscal year 2015.
- Subscription revenue - R1,148 million to R1,168 million ($96.2 million to $97.9 million), which would represent
subscription revenue growth of 15.0% to 17.0% compared to fiscal year 2015.
- Adjusted EBITDA - R306 million to R327 million ($25.7 million to $27.4 million), which would represent Adjusted EBITDA
growth of 11.2% to 18.9% compared to fiscal year 2015.
- Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share of 13.3 to 15.1 South African cents based on 807 million diluted ordinary
shares in issue, and based on an effective tax rate of 30.0% to 34.0%. At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS,
this equates to adjusted earnings per diluted ADS of 28 to 32 U.S. cents.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 the Company expects subscription revenue to be in the range of R270 million
to R274 million ($22.6 million to $23.0 million) which would represent subscription revenue growth of 14.1% to 15.8%
compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.
The key assumptions used in deriving the forecast are as follows:
Growth in subscription revenue and subscribers are based on expected growth rates related to market conditions and
takes into account growth rates achieved previously.
Achieving hardware sales according to expectations. Hardware sales are dependent on the volumes of bundled solutions
selected by customers.
The forecast is the responsibility of the board of directors and has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s
external auditors. The Company’s policy is to give guidance on a quarterly basis, if necessary, and does not update
guidance between quarters.
The information disclosed in this “Business Outlook” paragraph complies with the disclosure requirements in terms of
paragraph 8.38 of the JSE Listings Requirements which deals with profit forecasts.
Quarterly Reporting Policy in respect of JSE Listings Requirements
Following the listing of the Company’s ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company has adopted a quarterly
reporting policy. As a result of such quarterly reporting the Company is, in terms of paragraph 3.4(b)(ix) of the JSE Listings
Requirements, not required to publish trading statements in terms of paragraph 3.4(b)(i) to (viii) of the JSE Listings
Requirements.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including without limitation, statements concerning our financial guidance for the first quarter
and full year of fiscal year 2016, our position to execute on our growth strategy, and our ability to expand our
leadership position. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations,
strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made.
Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a
variety of risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation, those described under the caption
“Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, as updated by other reports that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC.
The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-IFRS financial measures
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding its financial results, the Company has disclosed within
this press release, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, it does
not represent cash flows from operations for the periods indicated and should not be considered an alternative to net
income as an indicator of our results of operations or as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indicator of
liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the profit for the period before income taxes, net interest income/(expense),
depreciation of property, plant and equipment including capitalized customer in-vehicle devices, amortization of
intangible assets including capitalized in-house development costs, share-based compensation costs, transaction costs arising
from the acquisition of a business, restructuring costs, profits/(losses) on the disposal or impairments of assets or
subsidiaries, insurance reimbursements relating to impaired assets, certain litigation costs, unrealized foreign exchange
gains/(losses) and foreign exchange gains/(losses) related to the cash proceeds raised through the IPO.
The Company has 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 provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its
operating results.
The Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this
performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under IFRS. 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;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments
on the Company’s debt or any losses on the extinguishment of our debt;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not include certain foreign currency transaction gains and losses;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not include certain litigation costs; and
- other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its
usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial
performance measures, including operating profit, profit for the period and our other results.
Headline Earnings
Headline earnings is a profit measure required for JSE-listed companies as defined by the South African Institute of
Chartered Accountants. The profit measure is determined by taking the profit for the year prior to separately
identifiable re-measurements of the carrying amount of an asset or liability that arose after the initial recognition of such asset
or liability net of related tax (both current and deferred) and related non-controlling interest. A reconciliation of
headline earnings to profit for the period has been included in the financial results section of this announcement.
Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted profit and adjusted earnings per share is defined as profit attributable to owners of the parent excluding
net foreign exchange gains/(losses) net of tax for the relevant period. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings to profit
for the period has been included in the financial results section of this announcement.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is determined as net cash generated from operating activities less capital expenditure per investing
activities.

NOTES TO SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
1. Independent audit
The summary consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015 have been derived from the
audited consolidated annual financial statements. The directors of MiX Telematics Limited take full responsibility for the
preparation of the preliminary summary consolidated annual financial statements and that the financial information has
been correctly derived from the underlying audited consolidated annual financial statements. The summary consolidated
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015 have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., who expressed an
unmodified opinion thereon. The auditor also expressed an unmodified opinion on the annual financial statements from which
these summary consolidated financial statements were derived.
A copy of the auditor’s report on the summary consolidated financial statements and of the auditor’s report on the
annual consolidated financial statements are available for inspection at MiX Telematics Limited’s registered office,
together with the
financial statements identified in the respective auditor’s reports.
The auditor’s report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in these financial results.
Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditor’s engagement
they should obtain a copy of the auditor’s report together with the accompanying financial information from MiX Telematics
Limited’s registered
office.
The Group’s preliminary audited summary consolidated annual financial statements have been independently audited by
the Group’s external auditors. The preparation of the Group’s preliminary audited summary consolidated annual financial
statements were prepared under the supervision of the Group Chief Financial Officer, ML Pydigadu CA(SA). The results were
made available on May 28, 2015.
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The summary consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited
Listings Requirements for preliminary reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to summary financial
statements. The JSE Limited Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and
the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as
issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
from which the summary consolidated financial statements were derived are in terms of International Financial Reporting
Standards and are consistent with those accounting policies applied in the preparation of the previous consolidated
annual financial statements, with the exception of where the Group has adopted new or revised accounting standards, as
described below and the change in segment presentation as disclosed in note 3.
IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation - This amendment clarifies that the right of set-off must not be contingent
on a future event. It must also be legally enforceable for all counterparties in the normal course of business, as well
as in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. The amendment also considers settlement mechanisms. The amendment
did not have a significant effect on the summary consolidated financial statements.
IAS 36 Impairment of assets - This amendment removed certain disclosures of the recoverable amount of cash-generating
units (“CGU”) which had been included in IAS 36 by the issue of IFRS 13 ‘Fair value measurement’. The amendment had no
impact on the summary consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21 Levies - This interpretation sets out the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy if that liability is
within the scope of IAS 37 ‘Provisions’. The interpretation addresses what the obligating event is that gives rise to pay a
levy and when a liability should be recognized. The Group is not subjected to significant levies so the impact on the
Group is not material.
Presentation currency and convenience translation
The Group’s presentation currency is South African Rand. In addition to presenting these preliminary summary
consolidated financial results in South African Rand, supplementary information in U.S. Dollars has been prepared for the
convenience of users of the Group financial results. Unless otherwise stated, the Group has translated U.S. Dollars amounts
from South African Rand at the exchange rate of R12.0907 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by Oanda.com
as at March 31, 2015. The U.S. Dollar figures may not compute as they are rounded independently.
3. Segment information
During the 2014 fiscal year the Group saw strong uptake of both its high-end fleet management solutions and the
low-end Beam-e track and trace solution (a consumer product) in the Africa fleet solutions segment. Given the convergence
among the brands in Africa consumer solutions and Africa fleet solutions, these businesses were combined in June 2014 and
the Group is reporting Africa as a whole from fiscal year 2015 onwards. This is consistent with the manner in which
segment information is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.
Additionally, the Group has noted a blending of product and service types in the various geographies in which it
operates. As a result, the segment descriptions have been updated to only refer to the geography and not to a specific
product or service. This does not represent a change to the segment reporting as the chief operating decision maker continues
to assess performance based on geography. The Group’s product range consists of asset tracking and fleet solutions.
The tables below present the segment information on this revised basis, with the prior year amended to conform to the
current year presentation as shown below.

Net cash is calculated as being net cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash less interest bearing
borrowings.
7. Dividends
No dividend was declared during the year. A final dividend of R39.6 million or $3.3 million was declared during the
first half of fiscal year 2014 and paid on July 8, 2013. Using shares in issue of 660.2 million, this equated to a
dividend of 6.0 South African cents or $0.5 cents per share.
Following the completion of its initial public offering of ADSs, the Company discontinued its policy of declaring
regular dividends in order to increase the funds available to pursue opportunities for more rapid growth.
8. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost
The fair values of trade and other receivables, trade payables, accruals and other payables approximate their book
values as the impact of discounting is not considered material due to the short-term nature of both the receivables and
payables.
9. Restructuring
During November 2014, the Africa and the Middle East and Australasia segments implemented restructuring plans. The
total cost of the restructuring plans is expected to be approximately R11.3 million ($0.9 million). An agreement has been
reached with the affected staff and the amount to be paid was agreed prior to the financial year end. The total
estimated staff restructuring costs to be incurred are R8.3 million ($0.7 million) at March 31, 2015. Other direct costs
attributable to the restructuring, including lease termination costs, are R3.0 million ($0.2 million). By March 31, 2015, R6.7
million ($0.6 million) of the expected restructuring costs had been incurred.
10. Contingent Liabilities
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 Proprietary Limited 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 is
R51.1 million ($4.2 million) (2014: R58.1 million or $4.8 million). No loss is considered probable under this
arrangement.
11. Share-based payment transaction
In June 2014, the Group entered into an agreement with Edge Gestao Empresarial Ltda. (“Edge”), whereby Edge has been
granted a 5% holding in the equity interests of MiX Brazil. At March 31, 2014 Edge held a non-controlling interest in MiX
Brazil of 0.0025%. Edge is a Brazilian based investment company controlled by Luiz Munhoz, the Managing Director of
MiX Brazil. The increase in the equity interests granted to Edge is in respect of services provided by Luiz Munhoz to MiX
Brazil, in his role as Managing Director of MiX Brazil. As part of the arrangement, Edge has an option to transfer its
interest in MiX Brazil back to the Group at fair value during the period of the agreement.
The transaction with Edge represents a cash-settled share-based payment. The award was fully vested on grant date and
a share-based payment expense of R2.4 million ($0.2 million) relating to this transaction has been recognized in the
income statement in the current year. The amount expensed represents the fair value of the award issued.

12. Net litigation costs
On June 6, 2014, Inthinc Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Inthinc”) commenced a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court,
District of Utah, Central Division, against the Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MiX Telematics North America, Inc. (“MiX
North America”) and Charles “Skip” Kinford, whom the Group hired in May 2014 as President and CEO of MiX North America.
Inthinc is Mr. Kinford’s previous employer. The claims against MiX North America included misappropriation of trade secrets
under Utah state law and tortious interference with a contract. The claims against Mr. Kinford included breach of a
non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions in his employment agreement with Inthinc, misappropriation
of trade secrets under Utah state law and breach of contract. Inthinc voluntarily dismissed MiX North America without
prejudice on June 12, 2014, due to its decision to file the lawsuit in Texas discussed below.
On June 12, 2014, Inthinc commenced a lawsuit in the 48th Judicial District of Tarrant County, Texas against MiX North
America (“Texas Lawsuit”). Inthinc alleged that MiX North America tortuously interfered with Mr. Kinford’s employment
agreement and post-employment restrictive covenants and misappropriated unidentified trade secrets when MiX North America
hired Mr. Kinford.
On August 21, 2014, the parties agreed to consolidate the related lawsuits into the Texas Lawsuit. In both of the
lawsuits discussed above, Inthinc sought injunctive relief and unspecified money damages.
On or about October 17, 2014, the parties entered into a confidential settlement and release agreement. Pursuant to
the terms of the agreement, the parties have filed an Agreed Motion to Dismiss to effectuate the dismissal of all claims,
with prejudice, in the Texas Lawsuit as well as the dissolution of any injunctions as issued to Mr. Kinford and MiX
North America. The settlement, net of insurance proceeds, had been paid in full by the end of the 2015 fiscal year.
13. Business combination
On November 1, 2014, the Group acquired the operating business of Compass Fleet Management Proprietary Limited
(“Compass”), a South Africa based provider of specialized fleet management solutions in Southern Africa that are delivered off
the Group’s hardware and software platform. These specialized fleet management solutions complement the Group’s existing
fleet management solutions and the acquisition broadens the array of services offered to current and future fleet
management customers.
The acquisition was considered to be a business combination as defined by International Financial Reporting Standards,
and as a result has been accounted for under the requirements of IFRS 3. The Group acquired the power to direct the
operating and financial activities of the acquired business on November 1, 2014, and the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed have been recorded at their fair values.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Compass and the fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.
R’000 $’000
Consideration at November 1, 2014
Total consideration payable 58,000 4,797

Patents and trademarks 2,155 178
Deferred tax liability raised (11,850) (980)
Total identifiable net assets 38,260 3,164
Goodwill 19,740 1,633
Acquisition date fair value of consideration paid 58,000 4,797
Acquisition-related expenses of R0.1 million ($0.01 million) were incurred and have been charged to administrative and
other expenses in the consolidated income statement for the 2015 fiscal year. The goodwill of R19.7 million ($1.6 million)
arising from the acquisition is attributable to the workforce acquired and the synergies expected from combining the
business acquired and the Group. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Payment of the contingent consideration was contingent on the achievement of agreed revenue and profit targets for the
period November 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Subsequent to year end it has been determined that the agreed revenue and
profit targets have been achieved and the R18.0 million ($1.5 million) is expected to be paid to the former owners by the
end of May 2015.
As at the acquisition date, it was considered virtually certain that the aforementioned profit and revenue targets
would be met and therefore, the contingent consideration payable was recognized at fair value which was considered to be
R18.0 million ($1.5 million). The fair value estimates were not discounted as the impact of discounting was not material.
This is a level 3 fair value measurement.
Cash in respect of the contingent consideration payable of R18.0 million ($1.5 million), was held in trust and is
disclosed within Restricted cash on the statement of financial position.
From the acquisition date, revenue of R24.5 million ($2.0 million) has been recorded by the business acquired and
profits of R1.5 million ($0.1 million), including IFRS 3 amortization, have been included in profit or loss. Had the
business been consolidated from April 1, 2014 the consolidated income statement would show R58.8 million ($4.9 million)
unaudited pro-forma revenue and an unaudited pro-forma net profit of R3.6 million ($0.3 million) in respect of this business.
14. Taxation
MiX Telematics International Proprietary Limited (“MiX International”), a subsidiary of the Group, historically
claimed a 150% allowance for research and development spend in terms of section 11D (“S11D”) of the South African Income Tax
Act of 1962 (“the Act”). As of October 1, 2012, the legislation relating to the allowance was amended. The amendment
requires pre-approval of development project expenditure on a project specific basis by the South African Department of
Science and Technology (“DST”) in order to claim a deduction of the additional 50% over and above the expenditure incurred
(150% allowance). Since the amendments to S11D of the Act, MiX International had been claiming the 150% deduction
resulting in a recognized tax benefit of R8.5 million ($0.7 million). MiX International has complied with the amended
legislation by submitting all required documentation to the DST in a timely manner, commencing in October 2012.
In June 2014, correspondence was received from the DST indicating that the research and development expenditure on
certain projects for which the 150% allowance was claimed did not, in the DST’s opinion, constitute qualifying expenditure
in terms of the Act. MiX International continues, through due legal process, to formally seek a review of the DST’s
decision not to approve the expenditure. This process is unresolved. Consequently, at March 31, 2015, MiX International has
an uncertain tax position relating to S11D deductions. MiX International has paid the R8.5 million ($0.7 million)
related to the S11D deductions to the South African Revenue Service. The Group has considered this uncertain tax position and
recognized a tax asset of R8.5 million ($0.7 million) at March 31, 2015. If the Group is unsuccessful in obtaining DST
approval in this specific matter, the Group will not recover the tax asset and will incur an additional taxation expense
of up to R8.5 million ($0.7 million) relating to the additional 50% claimed.

financial and operating data (note 6).
The accounting policies used in preparing the financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 are
consistent in all material respects with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 2014.
The quarterly financial results have not been audited or reviewed by the Group’s external auditors.
