MiX Telematics is a holding company founded in South Africa in 1996, which is a global provider of vehicle tracking, driver safety and fleet management services and solutions.

Today, the company’s range of products and services is for sale in more than 120 countries, with over 850 000 vehicle tracking and fleet management units worldwide. Offices can be found in South Africa, the UK, United States, Brazil, Uganda, the UAE and Qatar. The company is recognised as the largest fleet management solutions provider in South Africa.

The group’s stolen vehicle recovery products are sold under the Matrix and Beame brands in South Africa, along with value-added services such as road-side assistance, internet tracking, crash alert and GPS logbook. Fleet management solutions comprise in-vehicle hardware, on-demand software services and a range of accessories and applications that enhance MiX Telematics solutions.

The group employs over 1000 employees working on in-house research, design, development, sales and customer support. MiX Telematics shares are listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), with depositary shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange. MiX Telematics share price has underperformed on the JSE.

Customers who buy MiX’s solutions benefit from a proprietary, scalable technology platform which allows for the collection, analysis and deliver of data from vehicles, and presents this on an intuitive web-based interface.

The group’s primary revenue stream comes from monthly subscription fees, with the company making use of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model to deliver its portfolio of features. Technology is tightly integrated across product offerings in order to create ongoing value for customers across a diverse array of industries.

A key performance indicator, revenue from subscription fees increased from R998 million in 2015, to R1.158 billion in 2016, with the number of subscribers increasing by more than 53 000. The group’s financial statements indicated a healthy profit of R182 million for the year, compared to R149 million in 2015. Profits were driven by an increase in sales and marketing investment, net foreign exchange gains and subscriber bases growing strongly in Africa, Europe and Brazil.

Subscriptions decreased slightly in the Americas due to contraction in the oil and gas industry, which affected important MiX Telematics customers. Lower hardware revenues across the group also eroded operating margins.

At the end of 2015, the company managed to renew key contracts and also entered into a multi-year deal with Halliburton to provide fleet management solutions for its North American fleet.

MiX Telematics shares have not had particularly good buy in from investors and have had a dampened performance on the live online JSE stocks chart over the past several years, as a result of tough trade conditions within the industries the company serves.

The company has created a forecast for the 2017 financial year, anticipating that subscription revenue and profits will continue to grow steadily. MiX Telematics share price has not responded to the company’s sluggish profit growth, and performance is expected to remain muted for the foreseeable future. Investors who buy MiX Telematics shares shouldn’t expect outstanding growth in the short to medium term.
