Midrand, South Africa, February 4, 2016 - 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 third
quarter of fiscal year 2016, which ended December 31, 2015.
"MiX Telematics continues to post mid-teens subscription revenue growth and high teens adjusted EBITDA margins in the face of
increasingly difficult trading conditions globally," said Stefan Joselowitz, Chief Executive Officer of MiX Telematics. "We continue
to see an increasing number of our customers opt for fully-bundled contracts increasing the long term value of these relationships. Our
innovation engine continues to yield leading-edge new offerings and we have established a new partnership to bring our revolutionary
Beam-e offering to the Americas. We are confident that we can persevere through the energy crisis, sustaining both growth and
profitability, and intend to maintain our focus on the initiatives that have made us a global leader in fleet management."
Financial performance for the three months ended December 31, 2015
Revenue: Total revenue was R378.6 million ($24.4 million), an increase of 7.7% compared to R351.5 million ($22.6 million) for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2015. Subscription revenue was R294.5 million ($18.9 million), an increase of 16.1% compared with
R253.7 million ($16.3 million) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. Growth in subscription revenue was driven primarily by an
increase of over 55,000 subscribers, which resulted in an increase in subscribers of 11.2% from December 2014 to December 201 5.
Hardware and other revenue was R84.1 million ($5.4 million), a decrease of 14.0% compared to R97.8 million ($6.3 million) for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Gross Margin: Gross profit was R257.6 million ($16.6 million), as compared to R230.6 million ($14.8 million) for the third quarter
of fiscal year 2015. Gross profit margin was 68.0%, compared to 65.6% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2016, subscription revenue, which generates a higher gross profit margin than hardware and other revenue, contributed 77.8% of
total revenue compared to 72.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
Operating Margin: Operating profit was R33.7 million ($2.2 million), compared to R31.0 million ($2.0 million) for the third quarter
of fiscal year 2015. Operating margin was 8.9%, compared to 8.8% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was R71.0 million ($4.6 million) compared to R69.1 million
($4.4 million) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-IFRS measure, for the third quarter of fiscal
year 2016 was 18.8%, compared to 19.7% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Profit for the period and earnings per share: Profit for the period was R57.9 million ($3.7 million), compared to R31.9 million
($2.1 million) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. Profit for the period includes a net foreign exchange gain of R68.8 million
($4.4 million) before tax. The net foreign exchange gain includes R68.6 million ($4.4 million) related to a foreign exchange gain on
the IPO proceeds which are maintained in U.S. Dollars and are therefore sensitive to R:$ exchange rate movements. During the third
quarter of fiscal 2015 the net foreign exchange gain was R17.7 million ($1.1 million). Earnings per diluted ordinary share were 8
South African cents, compared to 4 South African cents in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. For the third quarter of 20 16, the
calculation was based on diluted weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 770.9 million compared to 804.4 million diluted
weighted average ordinary shares in issue during the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter was 43.9% in comparison to 37.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the December 31, 2015 exchange rate of R15.5419 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25 ordinary
shares to one American Depositary Share ("ADS"), profit for the period was $3.7 million, or 12 U.S. cents per diluted ADS.
Adjusted earnings for the period and adjusted earnings per share: Adjusted earnings for the period, a non-IFRS measure, was
R16.4 million ($1.1 million), compared to R20.4 million ($1.3 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and excludes a net forei gn
exchange gain of R68.8 million ($4.4 million). Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share, also a non-IFRS measure, were 2 South
African cents, compared to 3 South African cents in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the December 31, 2015 exchange rate of R15.5419 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25 ordinary
shares to one ADS, adjusted earnings for the period was $1.1 million, or 3 U.S. cents per diluted ADS.
Statement of Financial Position and Cash Flow: At December 31, 2015, the Company had R907.5 million ($58.4 million) of cash
and cash equivalents, compared to R875.7 million ($56.3 million) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The Company generated
R26.6 million ($1.7 million) in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and invested
R66.6 million ($4.3 million) in capital expenditures during the quarter, leading to negative free cash flow, a non-IFRS measure, of
R40.0 million ($2.6 million), compared with free cash flow of R29.3 million ($1.9 million) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
An explanation of non-IFRS measures used in this 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.
Business Outlook
MiX Telematics has translated U.S. Dollar amounts in this Business Outlook paragraph from South African Rand at the exchange rate
of R15.9492 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by Oanda.com as of February 1, 2016.
Based on information as of today, February 4, 2016, the Company is issuing the following financial guidance for the full 2016 fiscal
year:
• Revenue - R1,440 million to R1,468 million ($90.3 million to $92.0 million), which would represent revenue growth of 4%
to 6% compared to fiscal year 2015.
• Subscription revenue - R1,155 million to R1,172 million ($72.4 million to $73.5 million), which would represent
subscription revenue growth of 16% to 17% compared to fiscal year 2015.
• Adjusted EBITDA - R245 million to R260 million ($15.4 million to $16.3 million), which would represent a decline in
Adjusted EBITDA of 13% to 8% compared to fiscal year 2015, on the revised basis.
• Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share of 6.9 to 8.4 South African cents based on 783 million diluted ordinary shares in
issue, and based on an effective tax rate of 37% to 41%. At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, this equates to adjusted
earnings per diluted ADS of 11 to 13 U.S. cents.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 the Company expects subscription revenue to be in the range of R304 million to R321
million ($19.1 million to $20.1 million) which would represent subscription revenue growth of 14% to 21% compared to the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2015.
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.
• 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 fourth 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, 2015, 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 the
Company's 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
and intangible assets identified as part of a business combination, share-based compensation costs, transaction costs arising from the
acquisition of a business or investigating strategic alternatives, restructuring costs, profits/(losses) on the disposal or impairments of
assets or subsidiaries, insurance reimbursements relating to impaired assets, certain litigation costs and foreign exchange
gains/(losses).
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, 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; 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, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including
operating profit, profit for the year and the Company's other results.
Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted earnings per share is defined as profit attributable to owners of the parent, MiX Telematics Limited, excluding net foreign
exchange gains/(losses) net of tax, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
We have included Adjusted earnings per share in this press release because it provides a useful measure for period-to-period
comparisons of the Company's core business by excluding net foreign exchange gains/(losses) from earnings. Accordingly, we believe
that Adjusted earnings per share provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Comp any's
operating results.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is determined as net cash generated from operating activities less capital expenditure per investing activities.

8. Share Repurchase Program
As of September 11, 2015, the MiX Telematics Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Group could repurchase
up to 40,000,000 of its ordinary shares (up to 1,600,000 ADSs) through to March 15, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, 40,000,000
shares had been repurchased at a total cost of R123.8 million or $8.0 million (at an average price of R3.09 or $0.20 per share) and
therefore no more shares may be repurchased under the program. The following terms were applicable to the share repurchase
program:
• The Group could repurchase its shares from time to time in its discretion through open market transactions and block trades,
based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the Group, the market price of its securities and general market
conditions.
• This share repurchase program could be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors, and the Group had no obligation
to repurchase any amount of its securities under the program.
• The repurchase program was funded out of existing cash resources.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the following purchases had been made under the share repurchase program:
• 973,954 ADSs (representing 24,348,850 ordinary shares) were purchased by MiX Investments on September 17, 2015 at a
price of $5.85 per ADS. The ADSs were repurchased at a cost of R76.8 million ($4.9 million) including transaction costs of
R0.5 million ($0.03 million).
• 5,000,000 ordinary shares were purchased by MiX Investments on September 17, 2015 at a price of R3.15 per share. The
shares were repurchased for R15.9 million ($1.0 million) including transaction costs of R0.1 million ($0.01 million).
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the following additional purchases had been made under the share repurchase program:
• 4,394,462 ordinary shares were purchased by MiX Investments on December 11, 2015 at a price of R2.80 per share. The
shares were repurchased for R12.4 million ($0.8 million) including transaction costs of R0.1 million ($0.01 million).
• 805,184 ordinary shares were purchased by MiX Investments on December 17, 2015 at a price of R2.90 per share. The shares
were repurchased for R2.4 million ($0.2 million) including transaction costs of R0.02 million ($0.00 million).
• 3,079,485 ordinary shares were purchased by MiX Investments on December 18, 2015 at a price of R2.96 per share. The
shares were repurchased for R9.2 million ($0.6 million) including transaction costs of R0.1 million ($0.00 million).
• 2,372,019 ordinary shares were purchased by MiX Investments on December 21, 2015 at a price of R3.00 per share. The
shares were repurchased for R7.2 million ($0.5 million) including transaction costs of R0.05 million ($0.00 million).
9. Dividend Paid
In respect of the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, a dividend of 2 South African cents or 0.1 U.S. cents per share (December 2014:
Nil) was declared during the period and paid on November 30, 2015.
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 R45.8 million or $2.9 million
(December 2014: R52.8 million or $3.4 million). No loss is considered probable under this arrangement.
11. 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 ($0.5
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 December 31, 2015, MiX International has an uncertain tax position relating to S11D
deductions. MiX International has paid the R8.5 million ($0.5 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 ($0.5 million) at December
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 ($0.5 million) relating to the additional 50% claimed.
