Midrand, South Africa, Nov. 7, 2013 - 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 second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2014, each of which ended September 30, 2013.
We are pleased to report strong second quarter results, which were highlighted by 25% subscription revenue growth and
over 27,000 subscriber additions that pushed our total subscriber base over the 400,000 milestone, said Stefan
Joselowitz, Chief Executive Officer of MiX Telematics. Adoption of both fleet and consumer products is increasing in our
target markets, and MiX Telematics is well positioned to be a prime beneficiary of growth opportunities as we have already
achieved meaningful scale, built a global distribution network, and offer scalable, state-of-the-art solutions that yield
a powerful return on investment.
Financial Performance for the three months ended September 2013
Revenue: Total revenue was R315.0 million ($31.2 million), an increase of 10.9% compared to R284.0 million ($28.1
million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Subscription revenue was R207.1 million ($20.5 million), an increase of
25.5% compared with R165.0 million ($16.3 million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. This was driven
primarily by an increase of over 89,000 vehicles under subscription since the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Hardware and other revenue was R107.9 million ($10.7 million), a decrease of 9.3% compared to R119.0 million ($11.8
million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, when hardware revenues were elevated due to the upfront hardware purchases
associated with two major contracts in the North American fleet solutions segment.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was R204.2 million ($20.2 million), an increase compared to R185.5 million ($18.4 million)
for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Gross profit margin was 64.8%, compared to 65.3% for the second quarter of
fiscal year 2013.
Operating Profit: Operating profit was R44.2 million ($4.4 million), representing an operating margin of 14.0% and
compared to R41.6 million ($4.1 million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 when the operating margin was 14.6%.
The second quarter of fiscal year 2014 included additional investments in headcount, expenses incurred by the start-up
operation in Brazil and non-recurring expenses of R8.5 million ($0.8 million) related to the initial public offering
(IPO) of ADRs on the NYSE. These additional costs were partially offset by an unrealized foreign exchange gain of R10.5
million ($1.0 million) relating to the IPO proceeds, which are maintained in U.S. dollars and are therefore sensitive to
R:$ exchange rate movements. The combination of these factors had a slightly dilutive effect on the quarters operating
margin.
Profit for the period: Profit for the period was R30.3 million ($3.0 million), compared to R28.8 million ($2.9
million) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Earnings per diluted ordinary share was 4 South African cents, consistent
with the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.
On a U.S. dollar basis, using the September 30, 2013 exchange rate of 10.1012 rands per U.S. dollar, and at a ratio of
25 ordinary shares to one ADR, profit for the period was $3.0 million, or 10 U.S. cents per diluted ADR.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was R66.9 million ($6.6 million), a decrease of 3.5% compared to
R69.3 million ($6.9 million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second
quarter of fiscal year 2014 was 21.2%, down from the 24.4% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013
due primarily to increased operating costs as a result of an investment in headcount, as well as the impact of the
expected losses incurred by the start-up operation in Brazil. Operating profit was R44.2 million ($4.4 million) representing
an operating margin of 14.0% and compared to R41.6 million ($4.1 million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013
when the operating margin was 14.6%. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as 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, certain non-recurring initial public offering costs, and unrealized foreign exchange
gains/(losses).
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Statement of Financial Position and Cash Flow: At September 30, 2013, MiX Telematics had R767.8 million ($76.0
million) of cash and cash equivalents, an increase from R150.3 million ($14.9 million) at June 30, 2013 due primarily to the
R649.9 million ($65.5 million) in net proceeds (before expenses) raised from the IPO during the second quarter.
MiX Telematics generated R44.3 million ($4.4 million) in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 and invested R32.8 million ($3.2 million) in capital expenditures during the quarter, leading to
free cash flow of R11.5 million ($1.1 million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared with free cash flow of
R9.1 million ($0.9 million) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Free cash flow is determined as net cash
generated from operating activities less capital expenditure per investing activities.
Financial Performance for the six months ended September 2013
Revenue: Total revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2014 was R613.4 million ($60.7 million), an increase of
8.7% compared to R564.3 million ($55.9 million) for the first half of fiscal year 2013. Subscription revenue increased
to R401.3 million ($39.7 million), up 23.7% from R324.4 million ($32.1 million) for the first half of last year.
Subscription revenue growth was driven primarily by the increased number of vehicles under subscription since the first half of
fiscal year 2013.
Operating Profit: Operating profit for the first six months of fiscal year 2014 was R80.3 million ($7.9 million), up
from R76.3 million ($7.6 million) posted in the first half of last year. The operating margin for the first half of
fiscal year 2014 was 13.1%, compared to the 13.5% posted in the first half of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was R132.1 million ($13.1 million) compared to R129.9 million ($12.9 million) in the
first half of fiscal year 2013. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first half of this year was 21.5%, slightly below the
23.0% posted in the first half of fiscal year 2013, primarily due to increased operating costs as a result of an
investment in headcount, as well as the impact of the expected losses incurred by the start-up operation in Brazil. Adjusted
EBITDA is defined as 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, certain
non-recurring initial public offering costs, and unrealized foreign exchange gains/(losses).
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is
provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Segment commentary for the six months ended September 2013
Regional performance
Africa: Total revenue from the Africa region represented 52.5% of our business for the first half of the fiscal year.
Africa consumer solutions: The Africa consumer business contributed 27.0% of the total revenue for the first half of
the fiscal year. Subscribers under management grew 13.3% and subscription revenue growth was up approximately 10%.
Adjusted EBITDA of R49.1 million ($4.9 million) grew 23.3% versus the comparative period last year. While total revenue was
flat year over year, the first half of the fiscal year 2013 included R10.7 million ($1.1 million) of revenue related
to connection incentive bonuses from our cellular network provider, which we opted to forgo from July 2012 in favor of
lower data costs.
Africa fleet solutions: The Africa fleet business contributed 25.5% of total revenue and was up 16.6% compared to the
prior fiscal year. At an Adjusted EBITDA level it grew 12.8% compared to the first half of fiscal year 2013 and posted a
29.9% margin.
Europe fleet solutions: The European business represented 11.2% of our total revenue for the first half of fiscal year
2014 and despite continuing economic headwinds in the region, grew subscribers by 14.6%. The restructuring actions
undertaken in the first quarter contributed to Europe showing a small positive contribution at the Adjusted EBITDA level for
the first half of fiscal year 2014.
North America fleet solutions: The Americas represented 10.2% of our total revenue. North American subscribers grew by
16.7% compared to the first half of fiscal year 2013. We believe the premium fleet market is highly under penetrated in
the Americas, and are investing in sales and distribution capacity in the region. The region posted a loss of R2.1
million ($0.2 million) at the Adjusted EBITDA level.
Middle East and Australasia fleet solutions: The Middle East and Australasia region grew 42.5% year over year, and
represented 25.1% of total first half revenue. The Adjusted EBITDA was flat primarily due to an investment in headcount and
infrastructure necessary to support continued growth in this region.
Brazil fleet solutions: Our Brazil operation launched last quarter in São Paulo and showed modest revenue for the six
month period. Brazil made an expected loss amounting to R5.4 million ($0.5 million) at the Adjusted EBITDA level and is
not expected to break even for the current fiscal year.
International CSO fleet solutions and development: MiX International is a central services organization that
wholesales our products and services to our regional operations and distributors who in turn, interface with our end-customers.
MiX International showed growth both at the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA level.
Business Outlook
MiX Telematics has translated U.S. dollar amounts in this Business Outlook paragraph from South African rand at the
exchange rate of R10.1658 per $1.00, which was the R:$ exchange rate reported by the South African Reserve Bank as of
November 5, 2013.
Based on information as of today, November 7, 2013, the Company is issuing the following financial guidance for the
full 2014 fiscal year:
Revenue - R1,270 million to R1,300 million ($124.9 million to $127.9 million), which would represent revenue growth
of 8% to 11% compared to fiscal year 2013.
Subscription revenue - R825 million to R833 million ($81.2 million to $81.9 million), which would represent
subscription revenue growth of 20% to 21% compared to fiscal year 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA - R270 million to R280 million ($26.6 million to $27.5 million).
Earnings per diluted ordinary share of 15 to 16 South African cents based on 770 million diluted ordinary shares in
issue, an exchange rate of R10.1658 per $1 and based on an effective tax rate of 28% to 31%. At a ratio of 25 ordinary
shares to one ADR, this equates to earnings per diluted ADR of 37 to 39 U.S. cents.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 the Company expects subscription revenue to be in the range of R209 million
to R214 million ($20.6 million to $21.1 million) which would represent subscription revenue growth of 19% to 22%
compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.
The key assumptions used in deriving the forecast are as follows:
Growth in subscription revenue and vehicles under subscription are based on expected growth rates related to market
conditions and takes into account growth rates achieved previously.
Costs have been increased to take into account the Company's strategy of investing in sales and marketing and
development and also include costs necessary to operate as a U.S. listed company.
The forecast is the responsibility of the board of directors and has not been reviewed or reported on by the Companys
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

reporting policy. As a result of such quarterly reporting the Company is, in terms of paragraph 3.4(b)(ix) of the JSE Listings

Non-IFRS financial measures
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's financial results, it has disclosed within
this press release Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure. 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 and subsidiaries, certain non-recurring initial public offering
costs and unrealized foreign exchange gains/(losses). The Company presents in the financial tables that accompany this
release a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit for the period and Adjusted EBITDA margin to profit for the period
margin, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with IFRS.
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 provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its
operating results.
The Company's use of Adjusted EBITDA (and measures such as Adjusted EBITDA margin that are derived from it) has
limitations as an analytical tool, and investors 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, the Company's 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 its debt;
Adjusted EBITDA does not include unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses;
Adjusted EBITDA does not include certain non-recurring initial public offering costs; and
other companies, including companies in the Company's industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which
reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, investors should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other
financial performance measures, including operating profit, profit for the period, profit for the period margin and the
Company's 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.
Accounting policies
The Group consolidated interim and quarter results included in this announcement have been prepared in accordance with
IFRS accounting policies. The basis of preparation and accounting policies have been set out in note 1 of the unaudited
Group consolidated interim financial results for the period ended September 30, 2013.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial results
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Condensed unaudited Group interim financial results for the half year ended
September 30, 2013
These condensed unaudited Group interim financial results for the half year ended September 30, 2013 have been
prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and
are in compliance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, SAICA financial Reporting Guidelines as issued by the
Accounting Practices Committee, Section 8.57 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the requirements of the
Companies Act of South Africa, 2008. The interim financial results have not been audited or reviewed by the Groups external
auditors.
The condensed unaudited Group interim financial results do not include all the information and disclosures required in
the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Groups annual financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Group has adopted the required new or
revised accounting standards in the current period, as further set out in note 2 below, none of which had a material
impact on the Groups results.
The preparation of interim financial results requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. In
preparing these condensed interim financial results, the significant judgements made by management in applying the
Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required
in determining the provision for income taxes.
Financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014
In addition to the Groups interim financial results for the half year ended September 30, 2013, additional financial
information in respect of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 has been presented together with the relevant
comparative information. The quarterly information comprises a condensed consolidated income statement, a reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to profit for the period (note 4) and other financial and operating data (note 9).
The accounting policies used in preparing the financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 are
consistent in all material respects with those applied in the preparation of the condensed unaudited Group interim financial
results for the half year ended September 30, 2013.
The quarterly financial results have not been audited or reviewed by the Groups external auditors.
The condensed unaudited Group quarterly financial results do not include all the information and disclosures required
in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Groups annual financial statements for
the year ended March 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Presentation currency and convenience translation
The Groups presentation currency is South African rands. In addition to presenting these interim financial results in
South African rands, supplementary information in U.S. dollars has been prepared for the convenience of users of the
Group interim financial results. Unless otherwise stated, the Group has translated U.S. dollar amounts from South African
rand at the exchange rate of R10.1012 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by the South African Reserve
Bank as of September 30, 2013.
2. Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Groups annual financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, except where the Group has adopted new or revised accounting standards, as
described below.
IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements - Under IFRS 10, subsidiaries are all entities (including structured
entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group has power over an entity, is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns
through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the group. The Group has applied IFRS 10 retrospectively in accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 10. This
has not had any impact on the Group.
IFRS 13, Fair value measurement - IFRS 13 measurement and disclosure requirements are applicable for the March 31,
2014 financial year-end. The Group has included the disclosures required by IAS 34. Refer to note 12.
3. Operating segments
The Groups businesses are managed primarily on a geographic and also on a product basis. During the period under
review, a new profit measure was implemented, namely Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-IFRS measure. Adjusted EBITDA, which has
replaced the EBITDA profit measure previously presented, is defined as follows: profit for the period before income
taxes, net finance 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

6. Net cash
Net cash is calculated as being net cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash less interest bearing
borrowings.
7. Dividends
A final dividend of R39.6 million or $3.9 million (2012: R52.6 million or $5.2 million) was declared during the period
and paid on July 8, 2013. Using shares in issue of 660.2 million (2012: 657.2 million) this equated to a dividend of
6.0 or $0.6 (2012: 8.0 or $0.8) cents per share.
Following the completion of its initial public offering of ADRs, the Company discontinued its policy of declaring
regular dividends in order to increase the funds available to pursue opportunities for more rapid growth.
8. Other income/(expenses) - net
Other income/(expenses) - net increased significantly over the period predominantly due to foreign currency exposure
relating to the proceeds received from the NYSE listing (note 13) which resulted in unrealized foreign exchange gains of
R10.5 million ($1.0 million) being recorded in the current period. As a result of the U.S. listing proceeds being
retained in U.S. dollar, in future reporting periods, a 5% strengthening/(weakening) in the South African rand against the
U.S. dollar would result in an increase/(decrease) in profit before taxation of R33.0 million ($3.3 million).

10. Contingent liabilities
Network Services Agreement
In terms of a 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. The maximum potential liability under
the arrangement is R62.2 million ($6.2 million). No loss is considered probable under this arrangement.
11. Restatement
In-vehicle devices
The Group has certain tracking devices which are installed in customer vehicles (in-vehicle devices). In prior
periods the Group classified in-vehicle devices installed as inventory held in client vehicles, which was included as a
separate financial statement line item under current assets in the statement of financial position. In addition, devices
which were designated for installation in client vehicles were accounted for as inventory.
At March 31, 2013, the Group changed the classification of in-vehicle devices to property, plant and equipment, since
they represent tangible items that are held for use in the supply of services, and are expected to be used for more than
one period. Management have adjusted their accounting policy accordingly.
The reclassification has been adopted retrospectively and the comparative amounts for the six months ended September
30, 2012 have been restated accordingly.
The Groups income statement continues to include a systematic allocation of the cost of installed in-vehicle devices
in cost of sales in the form of depreciation (previously rental units consumed), and the change in classification
therefore has had no impact on the Groups income statement or statement of comprehensive income or any of the earnings per
share measures for the half year ended September 30, 2012.
The Group classifies cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment as investing activities, and the change in
classification of in-vehicle devices from inventory to property, plant and equipment therefore resulted in a change in
classification of cash flows associated with the acquisition of such items. This is because the Group now considers the
expenditure associated with the acquisition of in-vehicle devices to have been made for resources intended to generate
future income and cash flows. The effects on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended September
30, 2012 is an increase in cash generated from operations of R18.3 million ($1.8 million), and an increase in net cash
used in investing activities of R18.3 million ($1.8 million).
Restricted cash
At March 31, 2013, the Group reclassified cash flow movements in restricted cash from operating activities to
investing activities. The effect on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended September 30, 2012 is an
increase in cash generated from operations of R3.5 million and an increase in net cash used in investing activities of
R3.5 million.
12. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The fair value of the Groups financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts at
September 30, 2013.
13. New York Stock Exchange listing and proceeds from shares issued
On August 9, 2013, following a successful U.S. initial public offering of American Depositary Receipt or ADRs, each
of which represents 25 ordinary shares of no par value, the Groups ADRs were listed on the NYSE and are traded under
the symbol MIXT.
As part of the U.S. initial public offering of ADRs, the Group settled 4,400,000 ADRs on August 14, 2013 and raised
R649.9 million ($65.5 million) for the Company (before expenses). Selling shareholders sold an additional 2,840,512 ADRs,
resulting in a total capital raise by the Group and selling shareholders, prior to underwriting discount, of R1,150.0
million ($115.8 million).
Reconciliation of initial public offering price and proceeds received, net of expenses:

Share issue expenses (27,182) (2,738)
Proceeds from shares issued, net of share issue costs 622,752 62,734
The Group has translated the above U.S. dollar amounts from South African rand at the exchange rate of R9.9269 per
$1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate on August 14, 2013, the date that the shares were settled on the JSE Limited.
14. Restructuring
During the period, the Europe fleet solutions segment implemented a restructuring plan. The total cost of
restructuring was approximately R2.8 million. The restructuring is expected to result in operating cost savings for the segment in
future.
15. Subsequent events
The directors are not aware of any matter material or otherwise arising since September 30, 2013 and up to the date of
this report, not otherwise dealt with herein.
