“Our Q3 performance reflects our consistent and disciplined track record of growing our business at scale. We continued to accelerate our subscription revenue while experiencing record net subscriber additions.

Cartrack’s quarterly subscription revenue increased 20% to ZAR1,236 million and ARR increased 22% to ZAR5,106 million, representing a significant acceleration in growth compared to Q3 of the previous year where subscription revenue and ARR each increased 14%. Importantly, our Q3 ARR growth of 22% also accelerated compared to 20% in the previous quarter, and our ARR increased 28% in USD to USD298 million. Q3 also delivered record net subscriber additions, supported by our accelerated growth strategy.

Significant customer expansion and increased adoption of our Video and Cartrack Tag solutions drove this acceleration. While accelerated growth creates timing differences between up-front growth-related expenses, such as sales and marketing expenses, and their realization of future revenue, we believe that accelerating growth – when executed efficiently and supported by strong unit economics and our healthy balance sheet – is the appropriate strategy to drive long-term shareholder value.

We expect our ongoing investment in distribution capacity to create durable advantages that extend beyond the current financial year. Finally, we remain firmly committed to disciplined capital allocation, strong unit economics and our vertically integrated and open operating culture,” said Zak Calisto, Group CEO of Karooooo.
