Commentary
It is with pleasure that the board announces a positive set of results, probably the last announcement as a JSE-listed
entity.
2015’s positive performance attracted the interest of Novatel Wireless Inc. (Novatel), a company listed on the NASDAQ
in the United States of America, which has subsequently resulted in Novatel’s offer to acquire all of the ordinary
shares in DigiCore, other than the ordinary shares held by any subsidiaries of DigiCore and the ordinary shares held by the
DigiCore Holdings Limited Share Trust for an amount of R4,40 per share, which offer became unconditional on
Tuesday, 15 September 2015 to be executed on Monday, 5 October 2015.
In addition to the exciting prospects and opportunities resulting from the Novatel transaction, 2015 was not only a
year of DigiCore celebrating 30 years of being Always Visible, but also produced results that reconfirmed the long
anticipated turnaround of the business and saw our international business returning to profitability. The restructuring of
management, changing of strategies, policies and the enhanced systems and processes implemented in the current and prior
periods have continued to optimise the business and bear fruit reflected in the results.
From investing in our sales structures and skills across the business and identifying key focus areas in our consumer
channel, we have been able to maintain and further develop a healthy sales pipeline allowing us to leverage off a
variety of our solutions, including and not limited to:
- FleetConnect, a web-based (SaaS) asset management software which integrates fuel, maintenance and toll spend
providing users with data enriched information to make business decisions to optimise fleet size and performance, and improve
behaviour for safety and help drive lower maintenance costs
- Bureau service, where Ctrack customers received automated reports as well as dynamic key performance indicator
reporting on drivers and vehicles respectively
- Insurance telematics

Underscoring our continued investment in technology, DigiCore’s Ctrack received the 2014 Technology Top 100 Award for
management of technology (large enterprise category), endorsed by the Department of Science and Technology in South
Africa. To further demonstrate the synergy between DigiCore and Novatel, Ctrack’s OB130 plug and play solution, which is
made up of Novatel hardware coupled with Ctrack’s superior firmware, received high accolades at the Automechanika
Innovation awards in 2015.
Financial overview
The 2015 financial period was highlighted by the group restoring a positive cash position, the sale of a large portion
of the TPL Trakker Limited’s shareholdings and the continued application of successful cost saving initiatives.
During the financial period, the investment in TPL Trakker Limited was reduced from 25,8% to 4,86%.
Profit before tax for the group increased to R86,7 million compared to the R8,6 million in the prior period.
The revenue generated by the group compared to the comparative period decreased by R33,4 million. The decrease was
mainly due to a reduction in revenue relating to the international insurance telematics business and a higher conversion of
sales into annuity contracts.
The gross profit margin increased from 63,5% to 69%. The increase was due to successful cost saving initiatives
implemented by management.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by R5,5 million. Considering that on 1 July 2014, the general staff cost increased
by 7%, it is evident that the cost saving initiatives implemented by the group were effective.
The results, however, include adjustments that management does not expect to be reoccurring in the future. Other
income mainly consists of R35,4 million profit on the sale of TPL Trakker Limited shares and a R20 million fair value gain on
the revaluation of the remaining TPL Trakker Limited shares.
With the continued focus to reduce inventory balances, decrease stock days, decrease receivable days and with the
proceeds from the sale of the TPL Trakker Limited shares, the group continued to generate positive cash flows ending the
year on a cash-positive position of R11,4 million after paying back R30,9 million in debt and a further R9,6 million worth of overdraft
facilities. This demonstrates the significant improvement in collections and the effect of controls and processes implemented
when compared to the negative cash position of R30,4 million on the prior year.
Industry comments
DigiCore has progressed well with the requirement from medium to large fleet operators for a more information-based
services and subscription model, allowing third-party information, such as routing and scheduling, and fuel card
transactions to be incorporated into our reporting software. The integration with other systems gives operators the full status
of their operation in one report.
The scalability of our product has enabled us to develop and supply quality products at very attractive prices to
improve our market share in the competitive consumer market, while meeting insurance and safety-driven needs.
In addition, as we support customers with “big data” analysis services, we will strengthen our competitiveness in
corporate and insurance channels.
We have developed a driver behaviour and risk rating programme with the support of the University of Pretoria. This
furthers our reputation in insurance telematics technology and enhances our product offering for insurance houses
internationally.
Outlook
After optimising our business in the 2014 financial year and stepping up sales resources and skills over the financial
year, we are on track and continue with our growth phase.
Systems, controls and strategies to manage stock, debtors and cash flow more effectively are in place, allowing the
management team to focus externally on relationships, sales and marketing and to identify new opportunities for growth.
With the imminent take over by Novatel, we are excited about the new opportunities that await us, growing our global
footprint and enhancing our product offering ensuring that we supply a superior end-to-end solution to our clients. The
last date to trade was Friday, 25 September 2015 and the termination of listing of the DigiCore shares from the JSE shall
take place at the commencement of trade on Tuesday, 6 October 2015.
With the delisting of the DigiCore shares from the JSE’s main board, these results will be the last set presented to
the public. The directors and management would like to take this opportunity to thank all stakeholders for their ongoing
support over the last 30 years. We want to thank our loyal customers, suppliers, investors, the non-executive board
members and our staff members for their support over the 30 years and trust we will continue to supply world-class products
and remain on our growth path as planned.
