MIX TELEMATICS LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of the Business
MiX Telematics Limited (the "Company") is a leading global provider of fleet and mobile asset management solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS"). The Company’s solutions provide enterprise fleets, small fleets and consumers with solutions for safety, efficiency, risk and security.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in South Africa, with the principal executive office in Boca Raton, Florida.
Basis of preparation and consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on July 23, 2020.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, the amortization period for deferred commissions, the determination of useful lives of the Company’s customer relationships, contingencies, the classification of devices and other hardware as in-vehicle devices (equipment) versus inventory based on the future expectation of the different types of customer contracts, income and deferred taxes, unrecognized tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2020, the global outbreak of COVID-19 has had and, we believe, will continue to have an adverse impact on global economies and financial markets. We have taken into account the impact of COVID-19, to the extent possible, on our financial statements. However, future changes in economic conditions related to COVID-19 could have an impact on future estimates and judgements used, particularly those relating to goodwill sensitivities and impairment assessments.
Summary of significant accounting policies
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on July 23, 2020, that have had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.
2. Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company provides fleet and mobile asset management solutions. The principal revenue streams are (1) Subscription and (2) Hardware and other. Subscription revenue is recognized over time and hardware and other revenue is recognized at a point-in-time.
To provide services to customers, a device is required which collects and transmits information collected from the vehicle or other asset. Fleet customers may also obtain other items of hardware, virtually all of which are functionally-dependent on the device. Some customers obtain control of the device and other hardware (where legal title transfers to the customer); while other customers do not (where legal title remains with the Company). A contract arises on the acceptance of a customer’s purchase order, which is typically executed in writing.
Contract modifications
As a result of the adverse impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on certain of the Company’s customers, various pricing concessions relating to subscriptions, in the form of payment holidays and discounts on monthly billings, were granted during the six months ended September 30, 2020. These pricing concessions were accounted for as contract modifications under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which had the effect of reducing the transaction prices allocated to the remaining distinct performance obligations in the contracts. Accordingly, the effect of the pricing concessions is being recognized as those remaining subscription services are provided. A contract asset of $0.6 million, representing amounts that will only be billed in future periods, was recognized as of September 30, 2020, and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Contract liabilities
When customers are invoiced in advance for subscription services that will be provided over periods of more than one month, or pay in advance of service periods of more than one month, contract liabilities are recorded. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 was $5.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, revenue of $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was recognized which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each quarter. Revenue of $2.8 million and $1.7 million was recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively, which had been included in deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each such financial year.
Contract acquisition costs
Commissions payable to sales employees and external third parties which are incurred to acquire contracts are capitalized and amortized, unless the amortization period is 12 months or less, in which instance they are expensed immediately. Deferred commissions were $3.6 million and $3.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and are included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The following is a summary of the amortization expense recognized (in thousands):

Overview of the Company’s exposure to credit risk from customers
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each receivable and loan to external parties, net of impairment losses where relevant. Other than 18% of the gross receivable balance relating to four debtors as of
September 30, 2020 (as of March 31, 2020: 15% of the gross receivable balance relating to four debtors), the Company has no significant concentration of credit risk, due to its spread of customers across various operations and geographical locations.
The Company does not hold any collateral as security.
Net accounts receivables as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 of $2.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, are pledged as security for the Company’s overdraft facilities.
4. Property and equipment
Property and equipment comprises owned and right of use assets. The Company leases many assets including property, vehicles, machinery and IT equipment.
The cost and accumulated depreciation of owned equipment are as follows (in thousands):

7. Income taxes
Our income tax provision reflects our estimate of the effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. The estimates are re-evaluated each quarter based on our estimated tax expense for the full fiscal year.
Our effective tax rate was 33.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 15.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2020. Our effective tax rate was 47.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 22.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Ignoring the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses net of tax, the effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, was 28.6% and 29.0%, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, was 29.6% and 28.4%, respectively.
8. Earnings per share
Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the diluted income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and restricted share units granted to employees under the TeliMatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme and the MiX Telematics Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") are considered to be potential ordinary shares. They have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share if the required performance condition (if applicable) would have been met based on the performance up to the reporting date, and to the extent to which they are dilutive.

9. Segment information
The Company has 6 reportable segments, which are based on the geographical location of the 5 Regional Sales Offices ("RSOs") and also includes the Central Services Organization ("CSO"). CSO is the central services organization that wholesales products and services to RSOs which, in turn, interface with our end-customers, distributors and dealers. CSO is also responsible for the development of hardware and software platforms and provides common marketing, product management, technical and distribution support to each of the other reportable segments. CSO is a reportable segment because it produces discrete financial information which is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and has the ability to generate external revenues.
The CODM has been identified collectively as the executive committee and the Chief Executive Officer who make strategic decisions. The performance of the reportable segments has been measured and evaluated by the CODM using Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure that uses net income, determined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as a starting point.
Segment assets are not disclosed because such information is not reviewed by the CODM.
The following table provides revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

1.For the purposes of calculating Segment Adjusted EBITDA, operating leases have been capitalized, except for leases with a term of no more than 12 months or leases of low value assets. Where operating leases are capitalized for segment purposes, the amortization of the right-of-use asset and the interest on the operating lease liability are excluded from the Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, in order to reconcile Segment Adjusted EBITDA to income before taxes, the total lease expense in respect of operating leases needs to be deducted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.For segment reporting purposes, product development costs, which do not meet the capitalization requirements under ASC 730 Research and Development or under ASC 985 Software, are capitalized and amortized. The amortization is excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA. In order to reconcile Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income before taxes, product development costs capitalized for segment reporting purposes need to be deducted.

No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue for the three or six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivables as of March 31, 2020 or September 30, 2020.
10. Stock-based compensation plan
The Company has issued share incentives under two equity-classified incentive plans, the TeliMatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme and the LTIP, to directors and certain key employees within the Company. Since the introduction of the LTIP during 2014, no further awards have been made in terms of the TeliMatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme.
The LTIP provides for three types of grants to be issued, namely performance shares, restricted share units ("RSUs") or stock appreciation rights ("SARs").
As of September 30, 2020, there were 47,090,000 shares reserved for future issuance under the LTIP.
The total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, there was $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SARs. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.62 years.
Share Options
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the remaining 3,500,000 share options under the Telimatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme were exercised by the group executives at an award price of 24 U.S. cents* per share.
* The award price was denominated in South African cents. U.S. currency amounts are based on a ZAR:USD exchange rate of R17.003 as of September 30, 2020.
Restricted share units granted under the LTIP
Under the LTIP, RSUs may be issued to certain directors and key employees. The scheme rules allow for a maximum of 2 million RSUs to be granted in any financial year and for a maximum of 12 million RSUs to be granted in aggregate over the life of the plan.
2 million time-based RSUs were granted for the first time under the scheme on June 1, 2020, and will vest in tranches of 50% per annum, commencing on the second anniversary of the grant date. Vesting is conditional upon remaining employed with the Company. Management estimates forfeiture to be approximately 5%. Settlement will take place in the Company’s shares. The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to settle the RSUs in cash. The weighted average grant date fair value per RSU granted was 30 U.S. cents**. The grant date fair value was determined by deducting the present value of expected dividends to be paid per share prior to vesting from the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. The unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of September 30, 2020 was $0.5 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
**U.S. currency amounts are based on a ZAR:USD exchange rate of R17.003 as of September 30, 2020.
11. Debt
The Company and its subsidiaries have unlimited borrowing capacity as specified in their respective Memorandums of Incorporation.

12. Restructuring costs
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $1.0 million of restructuring costs, respectively, as a result of measures to minimize the adverse economic and business effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and to re-align resources with the Company's current business outlook and cost structure. The restructuring costs comprised employee termination benefits. $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million of the restructuring costs for the six months ended September 30, 2020, related to the CSO, Africa, and North America reporting segments, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, all of the restructuring costs had been paid except for $0.1 million in respect of the Africa reporting segment, which is expected to be settled by December 31, 2020. Restructuring costs are included in Administration and other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
13. 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 Company, 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 as of March 31, 2020 and September 2020 was $1.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. 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 Company and a number of its channel partners have engaged in market division. Should the Tribunal rule against MiX Telematics, the Company may be liable to an administrative penalty in terms of the Competition Act, No. 89 of 1998. The Company 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 Company and its 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 we do not believe that an outflow of economic resources is probable.
The Ugandan Value Added Tax ("VAT") matter
The Ugandan Revenue Authorities (“URA”) have reviewed MiX Telematics’ cross-border services and assert that VAT is payable on these imported services in terms of the place of supply rules included within its local VAT legislation. On January 18, 2018, MiX Telematics East Africa Limited (“MiX East Africa”) instituted proceedings in the Tax Appeals Tribunal to challenge the URA’s decision on this matter based on the interpretation of the law and calculation errors by the URA. MiX East Africa appeared in front of the Tax Appeals Tribunal on a number of occasions to present its defense, but the Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled in favor of the URA. On September 19, 2019, MiX East Africa appealed the decision to the High Court of Uganda. This matter is ongoing, and provisions have been made based on current information at hand.
14. Subsequent events
Other than the items below, the directors are not aware of any matter material or otherwise arising since September 30, 2020 and up to the date of this report, not otherwise dealt with herein.
Dividend declared
The Board of Directors declared, in respect of the three months ended September 30, 2020, a dividend of 4 South African cents per ordinary share and 1 South African Rand per ADS, which will be paid on December 8, 2020 to shareholders on record as of the close of business on November 20, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Overview
We are a leading global provider of fleet and mobile asset management solutions delivered as SaaS. Our solutions deliver a measurable return by enabling our customers to manage, optimize and protect their investments in commercial fleets, mobile assets or personal vehicles. We generate actionable intelligence that enables a wide range of customers, from large enterprise fleets to small fleet operators and consumers, to reduce fuel and other operating costs, improve efficiency, enhance regulatory compliance, promote driver safety, manage risk and mitigate theft. Our solutions mostly rely on our proprietary, highly scalable technology platforms, which allow us to collect, analyze and deliver information based on data from our customers’ vehicles. Using intuitive, web-based interface, reports or mobile applications, our fleet customers can access large volumes of real-time and historical data, monitor the location and status of their drivers and vehicles and analyze a wide number of key metrics across their fleet operations.
We were founded in 1996 and we have offices in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uganda, Brazil, Australia, Romania, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, as well as a network of more than 130 fleet partners worldwide. MiX Telematics’ shares are publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: MIX) and MiX Telematics’ American Depositary Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MIXT).
We derive the majority of our revenues from subscriptions from our fleet and mobile asset management solutions. Our subscriptions generally include access to our SaaS solutions, connectivity, and in many cases, use of an in-vehicle device. We also generate revenues from the sale of in-vehicle devices, which enable customers to use our subscription-based solutions, installation services of our in-vehicle-devices and driver training for fleet customers. We generate sales through the efforts of our direct sales teams, staffed in our regional sales offices, and through our global network of distributors and dealers. Our direct sales teams focus on marketing our fleet solutions to global and multinational enterprise accounts and to other large customer accounts located in regions of the world where we maintain a direct sales presence. Our direct sales teams have industry expertise across multiple industries, including oil and gas, transportation and logistics, government and municipal, bus and coach, rental and leasing, and utilities. In some markets, we rely on a network of distributors and dealers to sell our solutions on our behalf. Our distributors and dealers also install our in-vehicle devices and provide training, technical support and ongoing maintenance for the customers they support.
Impact of COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in China (“COVID-19”). In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared this outbreak a Public Health Emergency of international concern and, subsequently, it was declared a pandemic in March 2020. The outbreak continued to spread globally, affecting global economic activity and financial markets. We are unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact on our customers and other factors identified in Part II Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.
Business, employees and operations
Due to extensive measures implemented by various governments, all of our employees were required to work remotely, with the exception of our staff working in our monitoring centers, which were classified as an essential service. We have implemented appropriate safeguards for these centers. In addition, we have modified certain business and workforce practices (including extended work from home requirements, suspension of certain business travel and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and implemented new protocols to promote social distancing and enhance sanitary measures in our offices and facilities to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by governmental and regulatory authorities.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we implemented various cost-saving measures, including headcount reductions, deferred salary increases, a hiring freeze across the business, and significant reductions in discretionary spending. We started to realize the benefit of these actions in the second quarter. We expect the full benefit will be realized during the remainder of fiscal year 2021 and beyond. As part of the headcount reductions in the first half of fiscal 2021, we incurred a $1.0 million restructuring charge as we committed to plans to restructure certain parts of our business as a measure to minimize the adverse economic and business effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and to re-align resources to our current business outlook and cost structure. The restructuring activities mainly related to the CSO, Africa and North America reporting segments.
COVID-19 has disrupted the operations of our customers and channel partners, our operations and the results of our operations. COVID-19 currently has had and, we believe, will continue to have an adverse impact on global economies and financial markets. For example, the continued economic uncertainty in the oil and gas sector has resulted in significant declines in our customer’s fleet sizes whilst similar disruption is evident in our bus and coach vertical following significantly reduced demand for public transport as a result of various governmental shut downs in multiple jurisdictions where we operate. This has and will continue to have a negative impact on our revenue and our results of operations, the size and duration of which we are currently unable to predict. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we experienced a contraction of 30,700 subscribers and, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we experienced a contraction of 20,000 subscribers, as a result of the economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect further subscriber contraction in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, primarily driven by oil and gas and asset tracking subscribers. The net contraction in subscribers resulted in a decrease in reported subscription revenues.
Cash resources and liquidity
Based on our internal projections, we believe that we have sufficient cash reserves to support us for the foreseeable future. Further details on our cash resources and borrowings available under our credit facilities are provided in the liquidity and capital resources section below.
Financial position and impairments
We have taken into account the impact of COVID-19, to the extent possible, on our financial statements as of the reporting date. However, future changes in economic conditions related to COVID-19 could have an impact on future estimates and judgements used, particularly those relating to goodwill and impairment assessments, as well as expected credit losses. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition to financial measures based on our consolidated financial statements, we monitor our business operations using various financial and non-financial metrics.
Subscription Revenue
Subscription revenue represents subscription fees for our solutions, which include the use of our SaaS fleet management solutions, connectivity, and in many cases, our in-vehicle devices. Our subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of subscribers and the monthly price per subscriber, which varies depending on the services and features customers require, hardware options, customer size and geographic location.
Subscription revenue has increased as a percentage of total revenue due to a reduction in hardware and other revenue. In the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, subscription revenue represented 87.6% and 89.3% respectively, of our total revenue. In the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, subscription revenue represented 87.4% and 91.5% respectively, of our total revenue.
Subscribers
Subscribers represent the total number of discrete services we provide to customers at the end of the period.

Basis of Presentation and Key Components of Our Results of Operations
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we managed our business in six segments which include Africa, Americas, Brazil, Europe and the Middle East and Australasia (our regional sales offices (“RSOs”)), and our CSO. CSO is our central services organization that wholesales our products and services to our RSOs which, 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 CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the reportable segments, has been identified collectively as the executive committee and the Chief Executive Officer who make strategic decisions. Segment performance is measured and evaluated by the CODM using Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure which uses net income, determined under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as a starting point. Prior to the publication of the financial results for the year ended March 31, 2020, we published results under IFRS only, which is the reason for the CODM continuing to use a segment performance measure based on IFRS.
In determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA, 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.
Each RSO’s results reflect the external revenue earned, as well as the Segment Adjusted EBITDA earned (or loss incurred) before the remaining CSO and corporate costs allocations. Segment assets are not disclosed as this information is not reviewed by the CODM.
Revenue
The majority of our revenue is subscription-based. Consequently, growth in subscribers influences our subscription revenue growth. However, other factors, including, but not limited to, the types of new subscribers we add and the timing of entry into subscription contracts also play a significant role. The price and terms of our customer subscription contracts vary based on a number of factors, including fleet size, hardware options, geographic region and distribution channel. In addition, we derive revenue from the sale of in-vehicle devices, which are used to collect, generate and transmit the data used to enable our SaaS solutions.
Our customer contracts typically have a three to five year initial term. Following the initial term, most fleet customers elect to renew for fixed terms ranging from one to five years. Our third party dealers are typically billed monthly based on active connections. Some of our customer agreements, including our consumer subscriptions, provide for automatic monthly or yearly renewals unless the customer elects not to renew its subscription. Our consumer customer contracts in South Africa are governed by the Consumer Protection Act, which allows customers to cancel without paying the full balance of the contract amount. Our fleet contracts and our customer contracts outside of South Africa are generally non-cancellable.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue associated with our subscription revenue consists primarily of costs related to cellular communications, infrastructure hosting, third-party data providers, service contract maintenance costs, commission expense related to third party dealers or distributors (commission is capitalized and amortized unless the amortization period is 12 months or less) and depreciation of our capitalized installed in-vehicle devices. Cost of sales associated with our hardware revenue includes the cost of the in-vehicle devices, cost of hardware warranty, shipping costs, custom duties, and commission expense related to third-party dealers or distributors. We capitalize the cost of in-vehicle devices utilized to service customers, for customers selecting our bundled option, and we depreciate these costs from the date of installation over their expected useful lives.
We expect that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will vary from period to period depending on our revenue mix, including the proportion of our revenue attributable to our subscription-based services. The majority of the other components of our cost of revenue are variable and are affected by the number of subscribers, the composition of our subscriber base, and the number of new subscriptions sold in the period.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages, commissions paid to employees, travel-related expenses, and advertising and promotional costs. We pay our sales employees commissions based on achieving subscription targets and we capitalize commission and amortize it (unless the amortization period is 12 months or less). Advertising costs consist primarily of costs for print, radio and television advertising, promotions, public relations, customer events, tradeshows and sponsorships. We expense advertising costs as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing in order to grow our sales and build brand and category awareness.
Administration and Other Charges
Administration and other charges consist primarily of salaries and wages for administrative staff, travel costs, professional fees (including audit and legal fees), real estate leasing costs, expensed research and development costs and depreciation of fixed assets including vehicles and office equipment and amortization of intangible assets. We expect that administration and other charges will increase in absolute terms as we continue to grow our business.
Research and Development
For additional disclosures in respect of research and development, technology and intellectual property please refer to “Item 1. Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2020.
Taxes
During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 our effective tax rates were 47.8% and 22.0% respectively, and during the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020 our effective tax rates were 33.5% and 15.4% respectively, compared to a South African statutory rate of 28%. Taxation mainly consists of normal statutory income tax paid or payable and deferred tax on any temporary differences.
Our effective tax rate may vary primarily according to the mix of profits made in various jurisdictions and the impact of certain non-deductible/(non-taxable) foreign exchange movements, net of tax. Further information on this is disclosed in Note 7. Income Taxes contained in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, significant variances in future periods may occur.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
We use certain measures to assess the financial performance of our business. Certain of these measures are termed “non-GAAP measures” because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and constant currency information.
An explanation of the relevance of each of the non-GAAP measures, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and a discussion of their limitations is set out below. We do not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP or those calculated using financial measures that are calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are two of the profit measures reviewed by the CODM. We define Adjusted EBITDA as the income before income taxes, net interest income, net foreign exchange gains/(losses), depreciation of property and equipment including capitalized customer in-vehicle devices, amortization of intangible assets including capitalized internal-use software development costs and intangible assets identified as part of a business combination, stock-based compensation costs, restructuring costs and profits/(losses) on the disposal or impairments of assets or subsidiaries. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
We have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they are key measures that our 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 our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.
A reconciliation of net income (the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown is presented below.

(1) Includes depreciation of owned equipment (including in-vehicle devices).
(2) Includes amortization of intangible assets (including intangible assets identified as part of a business combination).
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered as performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Some of these limitations are:
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure; and
•certain of the adjustments (such as restructuring costs, impairment of long-lived assets and others) made in calculating Adjusted EBITDA are those that management believes are not representative of our underlying operations and, therefore, are subjective in nature.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including operating profit, profit for the period and our other results.
Basic and Diluted Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share
Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income excluding net foreign exchange gains/(losses) net of tax.
We have included non-GAAP net income per share in this quarterly report because it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business by excluding net foreign exchange gains/(losses) from earnings. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP net income per share provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results.

Constant Currency Information
Constant currency information has been presented in the sections below to illustrate the impact of changes in currency rates on our results. The constant currency information has been determined by adjusting the current financial reporting quarter’s results to the prior quarter’s average exchange rates, determined as the average of the monthly exchange rates applicable to the quarter. The measurement has been performed for each of our 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 quarter results.
The constant currency information represents non-GAAP information. We believe this provides a useful basis to measure the performance of our business as it removes distortion from the effects of foreign currency movements during the period.
Due to the significant portion of our customers who are invoiced in non-U.S. Dollar denominated currencies, we also calculate our subscription revenue growth rate on a constant currency basis, thereby removing the effect of currency fluctuation on our results of operations.
The following tables provide the constant currency reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods shown:

Our total revenue decreased by $5.7 million or 15.6%, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The principal factors affecting our revenue contraction included:
•Subscription revenues decreased by 13.9% to $27.6 million, compared to $32.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Subscription revenues represented 89.3% of total revenues during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. Subscription revenues decreased by 7.0% on a constant currency basis, year over year. The decline in constant currency subscription revenue was primarily due to the contraction in our subscriber base as a result of economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. From June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020, our subscriber base contracted by 20,000 subscribers primarily due to significantly lower gross additions. Furthermore, we experienced fleet contraction in a number of key verticals such as the consumer and the leasing vertical which impacted both our subscriber-count and subscription revenue line.
The majority of our revenues and subscription revenues are derived from currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against these currencies (in particular against the South African Rand) following currency volatility arising from the economic disruption caused by COVID-19, has negatively impact our revenue and subscription revenues reported in U.S. Dollars. Compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the South African Rand weakened by 15.2% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R16.91 in the current quarter compared to an average of R14.68 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 led to a 6.9% reduction in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenues.
•Hardware and other revenue decreased by $1.2 million, or 27.1%, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 primarily as a result of a global economic slowdown following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As shown in the table below, hardware and other revenue was lower across all geographical segments except for Africa which was $0.2 million higher.
The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 led to a 6.5% reduction in reported U.S. Dollar revenues.
A breakdown of third-party revenue by segment is shown in the table below:

Compared to a decrease in total revenue of $5.7 million or 15.6%, cost of revenues decreased by $2.1 million, or 17.3%, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. This resulted in a higher gross profit margin of 66.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to 66.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Subscription revenue, which generates a higher gross profit margin than hardware and other revenue, contributed 89.3% of total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to 87.6% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, hardware and other margins were lower than in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, mainly due to the geographical sales mix and the distribution channels. Hardware sales via our dealer channel generate lower gross margins.

Administration and other expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 6.7%, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 to the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.
The decrease mainly relates to savings of $1.2 million in salaries and wages, bonuses of $0.6 million primarily due to the decline in subscription revenue as a result of COVID-19, travel costs of $0.2 million, offset by restructuring costs of $0.2 million and increases in expected credit loss provision of $0.5 million and other increases of $0.3 million, none of which were individually significant.

Taxation expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 68.2%. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the income tax expense decreased due to lower profitability and also included a $0.3 million deferred tax credit on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics Limited and MiX Telematics Investments (Proprietary) Limited (“MiX Investments”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the income tax expense included a $1.3 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics Limited and MiX Investments. Ignoring the impact of net foreign exchange gains and losses net of tax, the tax rate which was used in determining non-GAAP net income, was 28.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to 29.6% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Our total revenue decreased by $14.5 million or 19.9%, from the first half of fiscal year 2020. The principal factors affecting our revenue contraction included:
•Subscription revenues decreased by 16.1% to $53.5 million, compared to $63.7 million for the first half of fiscal year 2020. Subscription revenues represented 91.5% of total revenues during the first half of fiscal year 2021. Subscription revenues decreased by 6.6% on a constant currency basis, year over year. The decline in constant currency subscription revenue was primarily due to the contraction in our subscriber base as a result of economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. From March 31, 2020 to September 30, 2020, our subscriber base contracted by 50,700 subscribers primarily due to significantly lower gross additions. Furthermore, we experienced fleet contraction in a number of key verticals such as the oil and gas vertical, consumer vertical and leasing vertical which impacted both our subscriber-count and subscription revenue line.
The majority of our revenues and subscription revenues are derived from currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against these currencies (in particular against the South African Rand) following currency volatility arising from the economic disruption caused by COVID-19, has negatively impacted our revenue and subscription revenues reported in U.S. Dollars. Compared to the first half of fiscal year 2020, the South African Rand weakened by 20.0% against the U.S. Dollar. The Rand/U.S. Dollar exchange rate averaged R17.44 in the current six month period compared to an average of R14.53 during the first half of fiscal year 2020. The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the first half of fiscal year 2021 led to a 9.5% reduction in reported U.S. Dollar subscription revenues.
•Hardware and other revenue decreased by $4.3 million, or 46.3%, from the first half of fiscal year 2020 primarily as a result of a global economic slowdown following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As shown in the table below, hardware and other revenue was lower across all geographical segments.
The impact of translating foreign currencies to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the first half of fiscal year 2021 led to an 8.7% reduction in reported U.S. Dollar revenues.
A breakdown of third-party revenue by segment is shown in the table below:

In the Africa segment, subscription revenue declined by $6.8 million, or 19.1%. On a constant currency basis, the contraction in subscription revenue was 4.0% as a result of a 3.4% decrease in subscribers since October 1, 2019. Hardware and other revenue declined by $0.6 million, or 20.7%. Total revenue declined by $7.4 million, or 19.2%. On a constant currency basis, the total revenue decline was 4.6%.
In the Americas segment, subscription revenue declined by $2.4 million, or 21.0% as a result of both a 9.7% decrease in subscribers since October 1, 2019 and pricing concessions granted to customers as a result of economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hardware and other revenue declined by $0.9 million, or 70.5%. Total revenue declined by $3.3 million, or 26.2%.
In the Europe segment, subscription revenue growth was $0.1 million, or 2.1%. On a constant currency basis, the growth in subscription revenue was 1.1%. Subscribers have increased by 0.7% since October 1, 2019. Total revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 8.5%, due to a decrease in hardware and other revenues of $0.7 million compared to the six months ended September 30, 2019. Total revenue declined by 9.4% on a constant currency basis.
Subscription revenue in the Middle East and Australasia segment declined by $0.6 million or 6.7%.

Subscribers have decreased by 0.2% since October 1, 2019. Hardware and other revenue declined by $1.6 million or 49.0%. Total revenue declined by $2.2 million or 18.3%. Total revenue in constant currency declined by 17.8%.
In the Brazil segment, subscription revenue declined by $0.6 million or 23.7%. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue increased by 3.9%. The increase was mainly due to an increase in subscribers of 9.0% since October 1, 2019 partially offset by pricing concessions granted to customers as a result of economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hardware and other revenue declined by $0.4 million, or 88.6%. Total revenue declined by $1.0 million or 33.3%. On a constant currency basis, total revenue decreased by 9.2%.

Compared to a decrease in total revenue of $14.5 million or 19.9%, cost of revenues decreased by $5.8 million, or 23.5%, from the first half of fiscal year 2020. This resulted in a higher gross profit margin of 67.7% in the first half of fiscal year 2021 compared to 66.2% in the first half of fiscal year 2020.
Subscription revenue, which generates a higher gross profit margin than hardware and other revenue, contributed 91.5% of total revenue in the first half of fiscal year 2021 compared to 87.4% in the first half of fiscal year 2020.
During the first half of fiscal year 2021, hardware and other margins were lower than in the first half of fiscal 2020, mainly due to the geographical sales mix and the distribution channels. Hardware sales via our dealer channel generate lower gross margins.

Taxation expense decreased by $3.1 million, or 74.6%. In the first half of fiscal year 2021, the income tax expense decreased due to lower profitability and also included a $1.0 million deferred tax credit on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics Limited and MiX Investments. During the first half of fiscal 2020, the income tax expense included a $0.8 million deferred tax charge on a U.S. Dollar intercompany loan between MiX Telematics Limited and MiX Investments. Ignoring the impact of net foreign exchange gains and losses net of tax, the tax rate which was used in determining non-GAAP net income, was 29.0% in the first half of fiscal year 2021 as compared to 28.6% in the first half of fiscal 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that there have not been any significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the first half of fiscal year 2021 as compared to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. We have minimum liquidity risk due to the recurring nature of its income and the availability of the cash resources set out below.

We fund our operations, capital expenditure and acquisitions through cash generated from operating activities, cash on hand and our undrawn borrowing facilities.
It is currently our policy to pay regular dividends, and we consider such dividend payments on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
On May 23, 2017, our Board approved a share repurchase program of up to R270 million (equivalent of $15.9 million as of September 30, 2020) under which we may repurchase our ordinary shares, including ADSs. We expect any repurchases under this share repurchase program to be funded out of existing cash resources. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were no additional share repurchases. Refer to “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2020, for information regarding our share repurchase program.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of our cash generated from operations of $17.2 million, net interest received of $0.3 million and taxes paid of $2.9 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $20.8 million compared to $14.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2019, which is primarily attributable to improved cash generated from operations of $5.1 million, lower net interest received of $0.2 million and decreased taxation paid of $1.3 million. The improved cash generated from operations is primarily as a result of improved working capital management of $9.6 million (specifically an improvement in accounts receivables of $10.8 million due to our improvement in management of receivables, foreign currency translation adjustments of $1.3 million and capitalized commissions of $1.0 million offset by accounts payables of $3.2 million and inventories of $0.2 million), offset by lower net income (after excluding non-cash charges) of $4.5 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of our cash generated from operations of $22.3 million, net interest received of $0.1 million and taxes paid of $1.6 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2019 was $10.6 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $11.5 million and loans to external parties of $0.4 million. Capital expenditures during the six months included purchases of intangible assets of $2.6 million, and cash paid to purchase property and equipment of $8.9 million, which included in-vehicle devices of $8.4 million. Offset by proceeds on sale of property and equipment and intangible assets of $1.3 million.
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $4.7 million from $10.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2019. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2020 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $4.8 million. Capital expenditures during the six months included purchases of intangible assets of $2.0 million and cash paid to purchase property and equipment of $2.8 million, which included in-vehicle devices of $2.6 million. The $5.8 million decline in in-vehicle device purchases during the six months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily due to lower sales activity following the disruption caused by the COVD-19 pandemic.
Financing Activities
In the six months ended September 30, 2019, the cash used in financing activities of $10.8 million primarily consisted of $8.2 million for the repurchase of ordinary shares, dividends paid of $3.1 million offset by facilities utilized of $0.5 million.
In the six months ended September 30, 2020, the cash used in financing activities of $1.0 million includes dividends paid of $2.5 million offset by proceeds of $0.8 million from the issue of ordinary shares in relation to the exercise of stock options and $0.7 from facilities utilized.
Credit Facilities
