Our ARR increased 18% to ZAR5,179 million and 38% to USD325 million. Importantly, Cartrack subscription revenue growth in South Africa accelerated meaningfully, and we ended the year with South Africa ARR growing at 23%,” said Zak Calisto, Group CEO of Karooooo.

“During the year, we continued to invest in our distribution network to support accelerated growth and are seeing good early-stage results. Our continued development and product initiatives further strengthened our differentiated value proposition with an enhanced platform, further AI-powered video capabilities and we commercially launched Cartrack-Tag. In FY 2027, we aim to accelerate subscription revenue growth once again while delivering strong EPS growth. Despite providing a contracting gross profit margin outlook for FY 2027, our mid-point outlook for EPS growth in FY 2027 is 21% when compared to our FY 2026 EPS excluding the secondary offering costs. We envisage a slow-down in hiring in FY 2027 while we drive sales force efficiency and AI adoption.1 We enter FY 2027 with operating strength and remain confident in our ability to drive durable, profitable growth across our geographies. We continue to see that our strong owner-oriented culture, vertically-integrated business model, continued innovation, and financial discipline drive our successful customer-centric execution.”
