Short-form Announcement: Unaudited Second Quarter and Half Year 2023 Results
Karooooo, that owns 100% of Cartrack Holdings Limited (“Cartrack”), issued a press release announcing its
unaudited second quarter and half year results for the 6 months ended 31 August 2022 and included such
press release as an exhibit to its form 6-K (the “Report on Form 6-K”) dated 12 October 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.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights:
(Comparisons relative to Quarter 2, 2022, unless otherwise stated)

SCALE
    - 1,600,013 Cartrack subscribers in total at August 31, 2022, up 14% (Q2 2022: 1,408,609)

    -  Net Cartrack subscriber additions of 57,251, up 36% (Q2 2022: 42,139)

The growth in subscribers (connected vehicles and equipment on our platform) was supported by demand
from small to large enterprises wanting to digitally transform their businesses to grow, become more efficient
and remain competitive.

The traction we experienced in Southeast Asia in Q1 continued into Q2. Trading conditions in South Africa
continued to normalize, supported by the strong demand for Cartrack’s platform. Cartrack’s total net
subscriber additions for Q2 2023 exceeded 57,000, which is well above that recorded for any prior second
quarter.

        million as at August 2022 (August 2021: ZAR2,523 million).
