| Not only this does lead to safer communities and better working environments, but it reduces cost substantially through reduced accident repairs, maintenance fees, and insurance premiums |
| Our solid start in quarter one continued as we gained momentum in quarter two with a record net subscriber additions of over 75,000 in this quarter |
| The way we can see it, we measure that growth on a daily basis, and the more working days we have, the better we do, and we certainly are picking up momentum |
| So quite frankly, we've got very steady growth |
| Despite the varying macroeconomic environments we encountered, digitalization, ESG and compliance continue to be strong drivers for demand of our platform |
| Cartrack continued to prove its ability to scale in varying macroeconomic conditions and consistently beaten the Rule of 40 |
| The increase is the result of positive revenue growth and improved profitability despite our prudent and strategic investment for growth |
| We're making good progress |
| All segments continue to see strong traction with the benefits of our strategic investment beginning to show |
| You're certainly making better returns for us than handing over your earnings in the form of dividends |
| Currently, we're growing -- we're starting to see better momentum in growth in Q2 compared to Q1 |
| I'm Carmen, the Group's Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer; and together with Hoeshin, our Group Chief Financial Officer, we will be taking you through our strong business updates and financials |
| Cartrack operating margin is up nicely this quarter |
| This goes to highlight Karooooo's strong value proposition and the impact our cloud platform has in streamlining operations, lowering environmental impact and helping businesses thrive in a more robust and competitive business landscape |
| This focus on delivery as a service through selected third-party crowdsourced drivers and logistic companies have been highly scalable and is delivering substantial growth |
| Karooooo Logistics delivered significant growth generating ZAR72 million in revenue and an encouraging operating profit of ZAR8 million in this quarter |
| Avoiding these high-risk events reduces accidents, and implementing this technology has enhanced our customers' reputation for strong service delivery, which has led to increased business growth |
| We have had a solid start and we are happy with the progress we have made in quarter two |
| Cartrack continued to build on its solid track record of growing at scale and experienced strong customer acquisition in this quarter |
| And we've got great operating profit margins, EBITDA margins, great gross profit margins |
| Cartrack has continued to have robust operating margins and our trends are in line with the long-term financial goals set upon our listing in 2021 |
| Our robust customer growth across industries is testament to our proven business model, competitive differentiators and strong financial position, and we continue to see no customer or industry concentration risk |
| We believe the strategic investment for customer acquisition positioned us well for continued growth and we expect to see future benefit from this investment |
| From accident and fuel fraud detection to industry insights and benchmarks, our customers are reaping the benefits from our vast data scale and network effects, and we will continuously enhance our platform to further increase these benefits |
| We have strong unit economics, robust operating margins, unleveraged balance sheet and a strong cash conversion |
| We remain confident that our track record of success, especially our ability to generate healthy cash flow is sustainable |
| Debtor's turnover days improving to 29 days alongside with prudent provisioning to weather off strong economic headwinds in some of the market we are operating |
| This is at a good trending as we continue to see the momentum of growth in our subscriber and ARR |
| In additions, we are experiencing encouraging demand for our proprietary compliance technology in the region |
| Southeast Asia remain as the second largest contributor to the Group's revenue and we believe our value proposition will continue to find favor in this region and present the most compelling growth opportunity, and deliver increasing and sustainable income to the Group in medium to long term |

| The South African economy remains under pressure as a result of continuing strain on the national power grid |
| These events include fatigue, mobile phone usage, other distracted driving and tailgating |
| And accidents with a vehicle carrying such sensitive cargo is not only detrimental to drivers' lives but also can cause vast negative public relations that can have a long-lasting negative effects on a business |
| The same way reaching for a phone has become second nature to society, many drivers are unaware of their actions as well as the risks these actions have on their safety |
| Carzuka delivered ZAR85 million in revenue in this quarter and an operating loss of ZAR13 million |
| Do you see this continue at this pace or faster pace? Currently, we're growing slightly slower than we did in those years |
| Despite the growth experienced by Carzuka, the decision remains to cease buying secondhand vehicles |
| But we've been in long discussions with our partners, which is basically the motor dealers, where a few of them are saying that we've got a conflict of interests with them and we've decided to save these longstanding relationships and drive the -- continue keeping our relationships with the motor dealers healthy |
| Subsequent to the quarter two end, despite the growth experienced by Carzuka in South Africa, a decision was made to cease buying second-hand vehicles in South Africa |
| So it's just a question of us getting our momentum back, which we certainly are getting it post-COVID |
| A customer that transports fuel has seen a 46% decrease in high-risk driver events detected by our AI after three calendar months of implementation |
| So if you give out the cash as a dividend, then obviously you'll be in a situation that your return on equity spikes |
| Can you talk about operating margin expectations for Q3 and Q4 given you're absorbing Carzuka employees? It could certainly have a negative impact on Cartrack, but it's really a planned impact that we would have done anyway because we need to employ the staff, but I don't believe this impact is material |
