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 for its full fiscal year 2019, which ended March 31,
2019.
“Our fourth quarter marked a solid continuation of trends we have
experienced throughout the year. The strong performance was driven by
the continued growth in our premium fleet subscriptions globally,
improvements in ARPU and ongoing operating leverage in the business,”
said Stefan Joselowitz, Chief Executive Officer of MiX Telematics.
“During fiscal 2019, we upwardly revised our long-term adjusted EBITDA
margin target to 35% plus, as we expanded our margins by almost 500
basis points to 30.5% and generated record positive free cash flow of
R177 million. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our
long-term goals given our strong pipeline and ability to further enhance
margin accretion across the business.”

Subscription revenue benefited from an increase of 73,600 subscribers
from April 2018 to March 2019, representing an increase in the
subscriber base of 10.9% during that period. Subscription revenue also
benefited from higher average revenue per user.

an increase of 12.0% compared to R453.5 million ($31.3 million) for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Total revenue increased by 6.3% on a
constant currency basis, year over year. Hardware and other revenue was
R64.1 million ($4.4 million), a decrease of 19.8%, compared to

quarter of fiscal 2018. Operating margin was 19.3%, compared to 16.3%
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition to the gross margin
improvement above, the margin expansion was also attributable to
improved economies of scale and ongoing cost management initiatives.
Operating expenses of R242.3 million ($16.7 million) increased by R18.6
million ($1.3 million), or 8.3%, compared to the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2018. Operating expenses represented 47.7% of revenue compared to
49.3% of revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

million ($11.6 million), compared to R130.2 million ($9.0 million) for
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-IFRS
measure, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was 33.0%, compared to
28.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
Profit for the period and earnings per share: Profit for the
period was R77.0 million ($5.3 million), compared to R64.3 million ($4.4
million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Profit for the period
included a net foreign exchange loss of R0.1 million ($0.01 million)
before tax. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, profit for the

issue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
The Group’s effective tax rate was 22.1%, compared to 13.7% in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Ignoring the impact of net foreign
exchange gains and losses net of tax and share based compensation costs
related to Performance Share Awards net of tax, the tax rate which was
used in determining adjusted earnings below, was 20.4% compared to 26.9%
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Group recognized deferred
tax assets of R3.6 million ($0.3 million) in respect of a portion of the
available tax losses in the Americas, Brazil and Europe segments. These
tax losses were incurred in prior years. An ongoing improvement in these
regions’ results has resulted in these deferred tax assets being
recognized in respect of the future utilization of the historical tax
loss considered probable at period end. The recognition of these
deferred tax assets reduced the Group’s effective tax rate in the
quarter by 3.6%.
On a U.S. Dollar basis, using the March 31, 2019 exchange rate of
R14.4789 per U.S. Dollar, and a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one

quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share,

per diluted ADS, compared to $3.8 million, or 16 U.S. cents per diluted
ADS in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

leveraging the Group’s fixed overheads, and ongoing cost management
initiatives. Operating expenses represented 49.7% of revenue compared to
53.4% of revenue in fiscal 2018.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 the Group recognized deferred
tax assets of R3.6 million ($0.3 million) in respect of a portion of the
available tax losses in the Americas, Brazil and Europe segments. These
tax losses were incurred in prior years. An ongoing improvement in these
regions’ results has resulted in these deferred tax assets being
recognized in respect of the future utilization of the historical tax
loss considered probable at period end. The recognition of these
deferred tax assets reduced the Group’s effective tax rate for the year
by 1.1%.
Adjusted earnings for the year and adjusted earnings per share: Adjusted

Segment commentary for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
The segment results below are presented on an integral margin basis. In
respect of revenue, this method of measurement entails reviewing the
segmental results based on external revenue only. In respect of Adjusted
EBITDA (the non-IFRS profit measure identified by the Group), the margin
generated by our Central Services Organization (“CSO”), net of any
unrealized inter-company profit, is allocated to the geographic region
where the external revenue is recorded by our Regional Sales Offices
(“RSOs”).
CSO continues as a central services organization that wholesales our
products and services to our RSOs who, in turn, interface with our
end-customers and distributors. CSO is also responsible for the
development of our hardware and software platforms and provides common
marketing, product management, technical and distribution support to
each of our other operating segments. CSO’s operating expenses are not
allocated to each RSO.
Each RSO’s results reflect the external revenue earned, as well as the
Adjusted EBITDA earned (or loss incurred) by each operating segment
before the CSO and corporate cost allocations.

Preliminary financial information
The reviewed but unaudited financial information set forth above is
preliminary and subject to potential adjustments. Adjustments to the
consolidated financial statements may be identified when audit work has
been finalized for the Group’s year-end audit, which could result in
potential differences from this preliminary reviewed but unaudited
condensed financial information. Any changes to the financial

Business Outlook
MiX Telematics has translated U.S. Dollar amounts in this Business
Outlook paragraph from South African Rand at an exchange rate of
R14.3842 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by
Oanda.com as at May 8, 2019.
Based on information as of today, May 14, 2019, the Group is issuing the
following financial guidance for the full 2020 fiscal year:
-
Subscription revenue – R1,935 million to R1,955 million ($134.5
million to $135.9 million), which would represent subscription revenue
growth of 14.3% to 15.5% compared to fiscal 2019. On a constant
currency basis, this would represent subscription revenue growth of
12.8% to 14.0%. -
Total revenue – R2,182 million to R2,212 million ($151.7 million to
$153.8 million), which would represent revenue growth of 10.4% to
12.0% compared to fiscal 2019. On a constant currency basis, this
would represent revenue growth of 8.9% to 10.5%. -
Adjusted EBITDA – R680 million to R701 million ($47.3 million to $48.7
million), which would represent Adjusted EBITDA growth of 12.8% to
16.3% compared to fiscal 2019. -
Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share of 45.1 to 50.2 South
African cents based on a weighted average of 585 million diluted
ordinary shares in issue, and based on an effective tax rate of 28.0%.
At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, this equates to adjusted
earnings per diluted ADS of 78.4 to 87.2 U.S. cents.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2020 the Group expects
subscription revenue to be in the range of R451 million to R457 million
($31.4 million to $31.8 million) which would represent subscription
revenue growth of 15.5% to 17.1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2019. On a constant currency basis, this would represent subscription
revenue growth of 10.5% to 12.1%.
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, as hardware sales
are dependent on the volumes of bundled solutions selected by
customers. -
An average forecast exchange rate for the 2020 fiscal year of R14.3000
per $1.00.
The forecast is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and has not
been reviewed or reported on by the Group’s external auditors. The
Group’s policy is to give guidance on a quarterly basis, if necessary,
and does not update guidance between quarters.
The Group provides earnings guidance only on a non-IFRS basis and does
not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Ordinary Share guidance to the most
directly comparable IFRS financial measures because of the inherent
difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are
necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be
made for foreign exchange gains/(losses) and related tax consequences,
restructuring costs, share-based compensation costs, and other charges
reflected in the Group’s reconciliation of historic non-IFRS financial
measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be
material.
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 Group’s ADSs on the New York Stock
Exchange, the Group has adopted a quarterly reporting policy. As a
result of such quarterly reporting the Group 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 2020, 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 Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2018, as updated by other reports that the Group files with or
furnishes to the SEC. The Group 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 Group has disclosed within this press release, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
margin are non-IFRS financial measures, and they do 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 Group’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 finance
income/(costs) including foreign exchange gains/(losses), depreciation
of property, plant and equipment including capitalized customer
in-vehicle devices and right-of-use assets, amortization of intangible
assets including capitalized in-house development costs and intangible
assets identified as part of a business combination, share-based
compensation costs, restructuring costs, profits/(losses) on the
disposal or impairments of assets or subsidiaries, insurance
reimbursements relating to impaired assets and certain litigation costs.
The Group has included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in
this press release because they are key measures that the Group’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 Group’s core business. Accordingly,
the Group believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and
evaluating its operating results.
The Group’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 our 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 Group’s working capital needs; -
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of
equity-based compensation; -
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments or the payment of lease
liabilities that may represent a reduction in cash available to the
Group; 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
alongside other financial performance measures, including operating
profit, profit for the year and our other results.
Headline Earnings
Headline earnings is a profit measure required for JSE-listed companies
and is calculated in accordance with circular 4/2018 issued by the South
African Institute of Chartered Accountants. The profit measure is
determined by taking the profit for the period prior to certain
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.
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 and share based compensation costs related to
Performance Share Awards 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 Group’s core business by excluding net foreign exchange
gains/(losses) from earnings, as well as share based compensation costs
related to Performance Share Awards. Performance Share Awards were
awarded under the MiX Telematics Long-Term Incentive Plan for the first
time in November 2018 and are aimed at incentivising management to
achieve cumulative subscription revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets for
the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.
Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted earnings per share provides useful
information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the
Group’s operating results.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is determined as net cash generated from operating
activities less capital expenditure for investing activities. We believe
that free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others
in understanding and evaluating the Group’s cash flows as it provides
detail of the amount of cash the Group generates or utilizes after
accounting for all capital expenditures including investments in
in-vehicle devices and development expenditure.
Constant currency and U.S. Dollar financial information
Financial information presented in United States Dollars and constant
currency financial information presented as part of the commentary
constitute pro-forma financial information under the JSE Listings
Requirements. Unless otherwise stated, MiX Telematics has translated
U.S. Dollar amounts from South African Rand at the exchange rate of
R14.4789 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by
Oanda.com as at March 31, 2019.
Constant currency information has been presented to illustrate the
impact of changes in currency rates on the Group’s results. The constant
currency information has been determined by adjusting the current
financial reporting period results to the prior period average exchange
rates, determined as the average of the monthly exchange rates
applicable to the period. The measurement has been performed for each of
the Group’s currencies, including the U.S. Dollar and British Pound. The
constant currency growth percentage has been calculated by utilizing the
constant currency results compared to the prior period results.
This pro-forma financial information is the responsibility of the
Group’s Board of Directors and is presented for illustrative purposes.
Because of its nature, the pro-forma financial information may not
fairly present MiX Telematics’ financial position, changes in equity,
results of operations or cash flows. The pro-forma financial information
does not constitute pro-forma information in accordance with the
requirements of Regulation S-X of the SEC or generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. In addition, the rules and
regulations related to the preparation of pro-forma financial
information in other jurisdictions may also vary significantly from the
requirements applicable in South Africa. The pro-forma financial
information contained in this results announcement has been reviewed by
our auditors, Deloitte & Touche and their unmodified report thereon is
available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

NOTES TO PRELIMINARY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared
in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”)
Listings Requirements for preliminary condensed financial statements and
the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to financial
statements. The JSE Listings Requirements require preliminary condensed
financial statements 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 preliminary
condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are
consistent with those accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the previous consolidated annual financial statements, except for the
adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), IFRS 15 Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) and IFRS 16 Leases
(“IFRS 16”) from April 1, 2018.
The preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements were
prepared under the supervision of the Interim Chief Financial Officer,
PM Dell, CA(SA). The results were made available on May 14, 2019.
Adoption of IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16
IFRS 9 is effective for the Group from April 1, 2018.
IFRS 15 permits a modified retrospective cumulative catch-up approach
for the adoption, which the Group has decided to apply. Under this
approach, the Group has recognized transitional adjustments in retained
earnings on the date of initial application (i.e. April 1, 2018),
without restating the comparative period. Under the practical expedient,
the new requirements were only applied to contracts that were not
completed as of April 1, 2018.
IFRS 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2019, but can be early adopted. Given that the Group applied
IFRS 15 from April 1, 2018, the Group decided to early adopt IFRS 16
from this date.
The Group has chosen to apply the ‘simplified approach’ on adoption of
IFRS 16 that includes certain relief related to the measurement of the
right-of-use asset and the lease liability at April 1, 2018, rather than
full retrospective application. Furthermore, the ‘simplified approach’
does not require a restatement of comparatives.
Refer to Note 2.1.1.2 of our consolidated financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 2018 for further details on the adoption of the
above mentioned standards.

IFRS 16:

Summary of impact on fiscal 2019 results of adopting IFRS 9, IFRS 15
and IFRS 16:
The only material impact on the condensed consolidated income statement
for fiscal 2019 was a R7.9 million ($0.6 million) increase in finance
costs. This was primarily as a result of IFRS 15 significant financing
activity interest expense and IFRS 16 capitalized lease liability
interest. The impact on every other line item in the condensed
consolidated income statement for fiscal 2019 was not material.
The only adjustment to the statement of cash flows was an outflow of
R11.4 million ($0.8 million) in respect of the capital portion of lease
liability payments being recorded in cash flows from financing
activities as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. This outflow was
previously accounted for as an operating lease expense and included
under cash generated from operations.
Presentation currency and convenience translation
The Group’s presentation currency is South African Rand. In addition to
presenting these preliminary condensed 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. Dollar amounts
from South African Rand at the exchange rate of R14.4789 per $1.00,
which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by Oanda.com as at
March 31, 2019. The U.S. Dollar figures may not compute as they are
rounded independently.
The supplementary information prepared in U.S. Dollars constitutes
pro-forma financial information under the JSE Listings Requirements.
This pro-forma financial information is the responsibility of the
Group’s Board of Directors and is presented for illustrative purposes.
Because of its nature, the pro-forma financial information may not
fairly present MiX Telematics’ financial position, changes in equity,
results of operations or cash flows. The pro-forma financial information
does not constitute pro-forma information in accordance with the
requirements of Regulation S-X of the SEC or generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. In addition, the rules and
regulations related to the preparation of pro-forma financial
information in other jurisdictions may also vary significantly from the
requirements applicable in South Africa.
2. Independent review
The preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2019 have been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche, who
expressed an unmodified review conclusion thereon, which is available
for inspection at the Company’s registered office. The auditor’s report
does not necessarily report on all 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 the Company’s registered office.
Any reference to future financial performance, included in this
announcement, has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s
auditors.
3. Segment information
Our operating segments are based on the geographical location of our
Regional Sales Offices (“RSOs”) and also include our Central Services
Organization (“CSO”). CSO is our central services organization that
wholesales our products and services to our RSOs who, in turn, interface
with our end-customers, distributors and dealers. CSO is also
responsible for the development of our hardware and software platforms
and provides common marketing, product management, technical and
distribution support to each of our other operating segments.
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the segment
results on an integral margin basis as defined by management. The CODM,
who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of
the operating segments, has been identified collectively as the
executive committee and the Chief Executive Officer who make strategic
decisions. In respect of revenue, this method of measurement entails
reviewing the segmental results based on external revenue only. In
respect of Adjusted EBITDA (the profit measure identified by the CODM),
the margin generated by CSO, net of any unrealized intercompany profit,
is allocated to the geographic region where the external revenue is
recorded by our RSOs. The costs remaining in CSO relate mainly to
research and development of hardware and software platforms, common
marketing, product management and technical and distribution support to
each of the RSOs. CSO is a reportable segment of the Group because it
produces discrete financial information which is reviewed by the CODM
and has the ability to generate external revenues.
Each RSO’s results therefore reflect the external revenue earned, as
well as the Adjusted EBITDA earned (or loss incurred) by each operating
segment before the remaining CSO and corporate costs allocations.
Segment assets are not disclosed as segment information is not reviewed
on such a basis by the CODM.

6. Assets Classified as Held for Sale
The assets classified as held for sale relate to the property owned by
the Central Services Organization, a division of MiX Telematics
International Proprietary Limited. No impairment loss was recognized on
reclassification of the property as held for sale as the fair value
(estimated based on the recent market prices of similar properties in
similar locations) less costs to sell is higher than the carrying
amount. MiX Telematics has concluded agreements pertaining to a
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (“B-BBEE”) transaction in which
the sale of this property is included, refer to note 13 for additional
information. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent
of which not all have been fulfilled by March 31, 2019.

8. Share Repurchase
On May 23, 2017, the MiX Telematics Board of Directors approved a share
repurchase program of up to R270 million ($18.7 million) under which the
Company may repurchase its ordinary shares, including American
Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). The Company may repurchase its shares
from time to time at its discretion through open market transactions and
block trades, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the
Company, the market price of its securities and general market
conditions. This share repurchase program may be discontinued at any
time by the Board of Directors, and the Company has no obligation to
repurchase any amount of its securities under the program. The share
repurchase program will be funded out of existing cash resources.

10. Performance Share Award under the MiX Telematics Limited
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The MiX Telematics Board of Directors has authorized a supplemental
performance share award under the MiX Telematics Limited Long-Term
Incentive Plan. In terms of this award the Board has designated
8,000,000 ordinary shares (equivalent to 320,000 ADSs), to be awarded to
eligible employees if the Group achieves both of the following constant
currency targets at March 31, 2020:
-
cumulative subscription revenue for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years of
R3,588 million, and -
cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years of
R1,322 million.
The targets have been derived using an average forecast exchange rate of
R13.8000 per $1.00.
Half of this supplemental equity grant of 4,000,000 ordinary
shares (equivalent to 160,000 ADSs), was made during November 2018 and
the remaining half will be awarded at the beginning of fiscal 2020 if
the Board of Directors believes that the Group remains on track to meet
the vesting targets listed above. Furthermore, these performance shares
will not vest unless both targets are fully achieved in the specified
time-frame. An IFRS 2 charge of R5.1 million ($0.4 million) was
recognized on these performance share awards in fiscal 2019.
11. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at
amortized cost
The fair values of trade and other receivables, restricted cash, cash
and cash equivalents, trade payables, accruals, bank overdrafts 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.
12. Contingencies
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, a subsidiary of
the Group, 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 R39.1 million ($2.7 million). No loss is
considered probable under this arrangement.
Competition Commission of South Africa matter
On April 15, 2019 the Competition Commission of South Africa
(“Commission”) referred a matter to the Competition Tribunal of South
Africa (“Tribunal”). The Commission contends that the Group and a number
of our channel partners have engaged in market division. Should the
Tribunal rule against MiX Telematics, the Group may be liable to an
administrative penalty in terms of the Competition Act, No. 89 of 1998.
The Group had cooperated fully with the Commission during its
preliminary investigation. We cannot predict the timing of a resolution
or the ultimate outcome of the matter, however, the Group and our
external legal advisers continue to believe that we have consistently
adhered to all applicable laws and regulations and that the referral
from the Commission is without merit. We have therefore not made any
provisions for this matter as yet.
13. B-BBEE Property Transaction
MiX Telematics has concluded agreements pertaining to a B-BBEE
transaction which is subject to certain conditions precedent of which
not all have been fulfilled by March 31, 2019. The conditions precedent
are expected to be fulfilled during fiscal 2020. The transaction
involves the following:
-
Acquiring Erf 1335 Vorna Valley Extension 21 Township, Registration
Division IR, Province of Gauteng situated in Midrand (“the Midrand
property”) for R44.0 million ($3.0 million) from TPF Investments (Pty)
Ltd (“TPF”), which Midrand property is currently being leased from
TPF. TPF is an associate of Robin Frew, the non-executive chairman of
MiX Telematics and therefore the acquisition is a small related party
transaction under the JSE Listings Requirements. -
In a back-to-back transaction, selling the Midrand property for R44.0
million ($3.0 million), as well as the Group’s property in
Stellenbosch currently classified as held for sale (refer to note 6)
for R23.5 million ($1.6 million) to Black Industrialists Group
Property Management Company (Pty) Ltd (“BIG”). The Group will also
provide loan funding to BIG of R9.0 million ($0.6 million). -
Leasing both properties from BIG for an initial period of 5 years with
an option to renew the lease for a further 5 year period.
14. Taxation
Section 11D Allowances relating to tax assets recognized
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 No. 58 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. 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 in the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years did
not, in the DST’s opinion, constitute qualifying expenditure in terms of
the Act. MiX International, through due legal process, had formally
requested a review of the DST’s decision not to approve this
expenditure. While approvals were obtained for a portion of this project
expenditure as a result of a further review performed by the DST in
February 2017, we continue to seek approval for the remaining projects
and as such the legal process is ongoing. In addition to the approvals
that were subject to the legal process, further approvals have been
obtained for certain project expenditure, relating to both current and
prior financial years. However, at period end, an uncertain tax position
remains in relation to S11D deductions in respect of which approvals
remain pending.
Since the introduction of the DST pre-approval process, MiX
International has recognized in the income statement cumulative tax
incentives in addition to the incurred cost of R24.3 million ($1.7
million) in respect of S11D deductions, of which R3.8 million ($0.3
million) was recognized in the current financial year. R21.5 million
($1.5 million) relates to deductions in respect of development project
expenditure which has been approved by the DST. R2.8 million ($0.2
million) relates to an uncertain tax position in respect of projects
where approvals have not yet been received from the DST. If MiX
International is unsuccessful in this regard, the MiX International will
not recover the R2.8 million ($0.2 million) raised at March 31, 2019.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019
Further to the Group’s financial results for the year ended March 31,
2019, additional financial information in respect of the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 2019 has been presented together with the relevant
comparative information. The quarterly information comprises a condensed
consolidated income statement, a reconciliation of Adjusted earnings to
profit for the period (note 3), a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to
profit for the period (note 4) and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
margin to profit for the period margin (note 5) and other financial and
operating data (note 6).
The accounting policies used in preparing the financial results for the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 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, 2018, except for the
adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), IFRS 15 Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) and IFRS 16 Leases
(“IFRS 16”) from April 1, 2018. For more information on the adoption of
these Standards refer to note 1 of the Notes to preliminary condensed
consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Summary of impact on the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 results of
adopting IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16:
The only material impact on the condensed consolidated income statement
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was a R2.1 million ($0.2 million)
increase in finance costs. This was primarily as a result of IFRS 15
significant financing activity interest expense and IFRS 16 capitalized
lease liability interest. The impact on every other line item in the
condensed consolidated income statement for fiscal 2019 was not material.
The only adjustment to the statement of cash flows was an outflow of
R1.1 million ($0.1 million) in respect of the capital portion of lease
liability payments being recorded in cash flows from financing
activities as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. This outflow was
previously accounted for as an operating lease expense and included
under cash generated from operations.
The quarterly financial results have not been audited or reviewed by the
Group’s external auditors.
2. Presentation currency and convenience translation
The Group’s presentation currency is South African Rand. In addition to
presenting these condensed consolidated financial results for the
quarter ended March 31, 2019 in South African Rand, supplementary
