Unaudited First Quarter 2023 Results
Karooooo, that owns 100% of Cartrack Holdings Limited (“Cartrack”), issued a press release announcing its
unaudited first quarter results for the 3 months ended 31 May 2022 and included such press release as an
exhibit to its form 6-K (the “Report on Form 6-K”) dated 27 July 2022 furnished to the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Investors are referred to the full press release as published and available
on the Karooooo website at www.karooooo.com.


First Quarter 2023 Highlights:
(Comparisons are relative to the First Quarter 2022, unless otherwise stated)

SCALE


    -   1,542,772 subscribers in total at May 31, 2022, up 13% (Q1 2022: 1,366,470)

    -   Net subscriber additions of 16,800 (Q1 2022: 60,470)

Demand from small to large enterprises, wanting to digitally transform their businesses to remain competitive,
supported the growth in subscribers (connected vehicles and equipment on our platform). The traction we
experienced in Southeast Asia accounted for most net subscriber additions in this segment.

The sudden significant increases in inflation in many markets globally and flooding in the KwaZulu Natal
province from April 2022 initially dampened sales in South Africa with customers exercising more caution
amidst looming inflationary pressures. This also translated into higher than normal customer payment defaults.
These conditions held our South African subscriber base at similar levels to the previous quarter (Q4 2022).
However, trading conditions in South Africa appear to have normalized quickly given the strong demand for
Cartrack’s platform and Cartrack’s total net subscriber additions for June 2022 exceeding 18,000, which is
above that recorded for the full first quarter of 2023 (March 2022 to May 2022).

Given the value we offer our customers in saving costs and increasing operational productivity, we are
confident to leave our outlook for subscriber growth in 2023 unchanged.
