However, some dealership has perceived because we kept business interests to be conflicting beefed up your interest in buying vehicles from customers.

We maintained that the cut your current business model is robust, but we do not want to reach the long standing strategic relationship that contract had spots with motor dealership across South Africa.

When will projects start monetizing data as a service? What percentage of projects annual revenues will come from data as a service in 3 years time?

Hi, Good morning, good afternoon, good evening could be in New York. Thanks.

We believe the benefits of our strategic investment in this segment are beginning to show.

Thanks, very much for joining the presentation.

I'll open up to questions.

The first question comes from malls free.

We will contract start monetizing data as a service.

The percentage of contracts with annual revenues will come from a data as a service in three years time.

Speaker 3: Miles, sometimes you know these words are a bit of jogging. So they do the services, currently what we do do, the way I understand it.

Malls, sometimes with a bit of jargon. So data as a service is currently what we do do it the way I understand it.

Speaker 3: and we basically take all data, push the data through the IoT devices in Cloud Cloud. We obviously then...

And we basically take the raw data.

Push the data to the Iot devices Intel cloud, we obviously been.

Isaias Calisto: I would like to thank everybody for joining us today and we will now open the floor to Q&A with our group CEO and founder Mr. Jack Calisto. Hi, good morning, good afternoon. Good evening, depending where you are. Thanks very much for joining the presentation.

Speaker 3: Work with data and give intelligent business reports to our customers.

Work with data and keep our intelligent business reports to our customers so in our opinion.

Speaker 3: So in our opinion, a great portion of our subscription revenue model is already dated to the service, which we obviously offer it as a sub-to-the-service. And so I think either I'm not understanding a question, or that's...

Oh, great portion of our subscription revenue model is a rabies that as a service.

Obviously, you operate as a software as a service.

Isaias Calisto: I'll open up the questions and the first question comes from Mars 3. When will contracts start monetizing data as a service? What percentage of contracts annual revenues will come from data as a service in 3 years time?

And so I think I'm not understanding your question or that's my answer.

Speaker 3: The next question comes from Sebastian. Qua, Qua, Kombus, I'm not certain if I'm pronounced in the certain correctives, I apologize Sebastian if that's wrong. Can you expand further on the decision should shut down cause who can start that figure? And will there be any costs associated to cause in this division? So basically we have one list that it comes to closure during this financial year. So there is no real material cost.

Your next question comes from Sebastian.

I'm not certain if I'm pronouncing that correctly, so I apologies Sebastian if that's wrong.

Isaias Calisto: Mars, sometimes you know these words are a bit of jargon. So data as a service is currently what we do do, the way I understand it. And we basically take raw data, push the data to the IoT devices into our cloud. We obviously then work with data and give intelligent business reports to our customers. So in our opinion, a great portion of our description revenue model is already data as a service, which we obviously offer it as a software as a service. And so I think either I'm not understanding your question or that's my answer.

We expected under decision should shut down because you can't South Africa.

Isaias Calisto: The next question comes from Sebastian. Quack, Quack combos, I'm not certain if I'm pronouncing the certain correctly. So apologies Sebastian if that's wrong.

Will there be any costs associated because in this division so.

Basically we have one lease that it comes to carry during this financial year. So there is no real material costs.

Speaker 3: We've got in contract at this point in time about 500 vacancies open and the majority of the causes the cost of we will transition into contract so there is no make.

We've got in contract at this point in time about 500 vacancies open and the majority of the quasi Christophe we will transition to contract so.

No major costs.

Speaker 3: Clearly it is because there is a strong impact on

Clearly these costs could have an impact on contract initially okay. It's been planned and it will be I think by the time, we get to your 425 these costs won't be weighing us down. So I think the reality is we've been reducing our losses operating losses.

Speaker 3: car track initially, but that's been planned and it will be faced I think by the time we get to FY25 in a these costs won't be waiting us down so I think

Speaker 3: the realities we've been losing and losses, or breaking losses, of approximately 50 million render a year.

Isaias Calisto: Can you spend further on the decision should shut down cause who can start that figure? Will there be any costs associated to close in this division? So basically we have one list that it comes to closure during this financial year. So there is no real material costs. We've got in car track at this point in time about 500 vacancies open. And the majority of the cause you can stop, we will transition into car track.

Approximately.

$15 million range, a year and we see this loss disappearing and do it for roofing positively in our earnings next year, Although I do believe that as we speak in that effort in the last 12 months to really put our shoulders beyond Zika would've been much further but we've been in a long discussed.

Speaker 3: and we see this loss disappearing and it will reflect positively in our earnings next year, although I do believe that as we spent enough effort in the last 12 months to really put our shoulders beyond cause we could have been much further. But

Speaker 3: We've been in long discussions with our partners, which is basically the motor dealers.

<unk> with our partners, which is basically been voted dealers.

Speaker 3: where a few of them are saying that we've got conflict of interest with them and we've decided to cite these long-standing relationships.

A few of them all sound. Good REIT calls, we've got conflict of interest with them and we've decided to take these longstanding relationships and draw the continue keeping our relationships with them that I could give is helping.

Isaias Calisto: So there is no major costs. Clearly, these costs could have a strike impact on car track initially, but that's been planned and it will be faced. I think by the time we get to FY 25, you know, these costs won't be wearing us down. So I think the reality is we've been using a loss of operating losses of approximately 50 million render year. And we see this loss disappearing and it will affect positively in our earnings next year, although I do believe that as we spent enough effort in the last 12 months to really put our shoulders behind causes a little bit much further.

Speaker 3: and rather continue keeping out relationships with the multi-gillers help.

Speaker 3: The next question comes from Matthew, from Conference Impact Fund.

The next question comes from Matthew.

Confluence impact fund.

Speaker 3: acts filibiro comfort conference explanations thank you for the presentation combinations of prayers in ease results

Alright, Matthew controlled Congress impacts on thank you for the presentation progressions fragrance. These results despite the growth experienced oncologic into that decision.

Speaker 3: The spike of growth experience, not a cause you can have as a decision, might as well see this buying sick and anti-accessive. What does this mean for? Because it will be buying selling vehicles inside and what the difference shows are the dealers. So we have got the platform, we have developed the software for cars you can. We will still utilize the software for the benefit of our dealers. So currently quite a lot of our dealers advertise the second and vehicles on the cars you can platform. We then...

So you can add here is that what this is painful because it would you be buying selling vehicles in Vermont.

From a different source or they give us so we.

We have got the platform we have developed a soft before caused Zika, we will utilize this I'll speak to the benefit about dealers. So currently quite a lot of our dealers advertise the thickener and vehicles on the Zika platform. We then.

Isaias Calisto: But we've been in long discussions with our partners, which is basically the multidilist where a few of them are saying that we've got conflict of interest with them. And we've decided to save these long-standing relationships and rather continue keeping our relationships so the multidilist helps.

Speaker 3: within a system in the selling day pre-owned vehicles and we don't see this in any way conflicting so we will still be able to anyone that wants to add the tons on our platform more than willing to do it but we will not be taking inventory and buying selling vehicles but we will certainly allow our partners the dealerships to still get the benefit that I've read and told now

We then assistant in selling the vehicles and we don't see this in anyway conflicting so we'll still be able to anyone that wants to advertise on our platform more than willing to do it but we will not be typhoon greentree and buying and selling season in vehicles, but we all sit here now.

Isaias Calisto: The next question comes from Matthew, from Confluence Impact Fund by Ex-Native Confluence Impact Fund. Thank you for the presentation,[inaudible] Karooooo, Karooooo, Karooooo, Karooooo,[inaudible] Isaias Calisto, Unknown Executive, Isaias Calisto, Hoe Goy, Karooooo Isaias Calisto Hoe Goy, Karooooo Isaias Calisto, Hoe Goy Karooooo Isaias Calisto, Unknown Executive, Isaias Calisto, Hoe Goy, Karooooo Isaias Calisto, Hoe Goy, Karooooo Isaias Calisto, Hoe Goy, Karooooo[inaudible] Then a final question from Sikunati.

Oh.

Parker's dealerships to still get the benefit.

Good enough.

Speaker 3: LA Alex Scholar, quite a few operating margins, up nicely, the score that can you talk about operating margin expectations? Three and four given euro, absorbing quite a few, quite zicking, please. It's...

And then Alex caller contract operating margin is up nicely. This quarter can you talk about the operating margin expectation.

<unk> given you are absorbing cost quasi king please.

Yeah.

Uh huh.

It suits them you have a negative impact on our.

Speaker 3: on C not går nuestras

On on contract, but it's really a planned impact that we would have done anyway, because we need to employ this cost.

Speaker 3: But it's really a planned impact that we would have done anyway because we need to employ the staff.

Speaker 3: but I don't believe this impact is in the material. The staff moving over to the contract is strategic. We know the people, so we already know these strengths and weaknesses and where to put them into which departments. So it's all really just helping us for about five and a day to see that we currently have at the moment.

I don't believe this impact these material.

The stock, leaving two to contract is strategically we know the people. So we already know the strengths and weaknesses and wait to put them in two weeks departments takes all really.

Helping us for about apartment vacancies that would be kind of in cash at the moment.

Speaker 3: Matthew from William Blair as a net subscriber man in the second quarter continuing to the third quarter Matthew yes it has so in the first 40 days of Q3 our net subscriber additions were actually 40 000 so we are expecting to probably be over 80 000 net subscribers during Q3 that is our expectation for Q3 given that we all fly through Q3

And Mac you probably didn't play as a nuisance government in the second quarter concludes the third quarter and.

<unk> so in the first 40 days of Q3.

Subscriber additions were actually 40 person.

We are expecting.

Probably be over 80000 net subscribers during Q3.

That is our expectation for Q3, given that we all fly through Q3.

Speaker 3: Another question from Matthew from William Blay. Can you provide an update on the AEM relationships when could you start to contribute to subscribe additions? We have done a lot of integrations already with the European AEMs. We should be able to start seeing a series from these relationships in F125.

Another question from Matthew from William Blair.

Can you provide us an update on the I M relationships win could be start to contribute to subscriber additions.

We we have done a lot of integrations already with a European Oems.

We should be able to start seeing us from these relationships into FY 'twenty for us.

Matthew from Concord.

Speaker 3: Please can you comment on the proposed merger begin next, Salamaks and Power Fleet, which geographies the year other?

Please can you comment on the proposed merger between mixed Panamax in our fleet, which geographies do you.

Overlapping.

Speaker 3: I must say that you are not very familiar with plastics but very if we can make it

I must say I'm actually I'm, not very familiar with Bell Creek mix I'm really quickly configure with them.

Speaker 3: So my understanding is correct, powerfully, is very much a meek and base, but so I prefer not to comment because I don't really know. I haven't devoured into this information, I don't know.

So.

My understanding is correct powerfully.

You mentioned, making base, but so I prefer not to comment because I don't really know the odd thing to this information.

Speaker 3: You focus on different customers or rich tomatoes if we compare ourselves to mix.

You focus on different customers or routes to market and if we compare ourselves to mix I do not believe that we focus on different customers or different routes to market.

Speaker 3: I do not believe that we focus on the print customers or the print reach to market.

Speaker 3: what the French says your law offer to mix entirely? Stay outuisle!

Different shapes or offer from mix in power fleet.

I think it's multiple things.

Speaker 3: thing that's with our parts of solutions. I think our reduce market although die level it looks similar. But fundamentally when you get into the detail we quite different mix operating about Android geographies we are operating 23. We are a great believer that we need to have staff on the ground in all the countries. We do not

Same goes with our types of solutions.

I think al.

Z to market all that.

The high level it looks similar.

Fundamentally when you get into the detail of wheat quite different.

Mix operates in about 100 feet and.

Geographies, we are on the operating 23, we have great believer that we need to add staff on the ground in all the countries.

We did not.

Speaker 3: This should be in countries where we don't have presence, physical presence.

<unk>.

Distribute in countries, where we don't have presence physical presence.

Speaker 3: And I think that makes quite a big difference. And then obviously we very much focused on owning the customer. And that could also be a little bit of a difference between us and next. So, potentially, but I'm seeking it under correct.

And I think that makes quite a big difference and then obviously, we very much focused on owning the customer in that.

Could also be a little bit of a difference between us and mix potentially but I'm speaking under correction.

Speaker 3: Next question from painter worry gir same cattle

Next question from Sam DB, Michael Gila.

Speaker 3: Patrick Eberta margin is 47%. Why can't we reach the bottom at this level? Can you allow margin to 3 below 47 marks? You know, we've traditionally as our Eberta margins between about 45 or 44 and about 62%. We believe that will continue, you know, it depends how many...

EBITA margin is 47% what type we reached the bottom at this level.

A lot of margin to trend below 40%.

Mark.

So that we've traditionally our EBITA.

Since between about 45, or 44 and about 62% we believe that we've got to continue.

It means how much capital we have allocated into back office into cells and it's a timing thing we envisage that we all remain in these sort of margins.

Speaker 3: Capital we've allocated into back office and to sales and it's a timing thing. We've envisaged that we all remain in these sort of margins for quite a few years to come.

For quite a few years to come.

Speaker 3: Second in terms of Africa's Scarborough Bridge, a creature with the expect growth rates and subscribers to peak, given that they can send growth to the cheap into two. And you know, South Africa, we've got about 1.4 million vehicles on our cloud.

Secondly in terms of South Africa, Chicago, Bruce I appreciate that you expect growth rates and subscribers to peak given that through some simcoe team achieved in Q2.

South Africa, we've got about $1 4 million vehicles on our cloud.

Speaker 3: We believe we can drive that to about 3 million vehicles. Obviously we'll try to do that as quickly as possible. Currently we're going, you know, we're starting to see better momentum in growth in Q2 compared to Q1 and Q3, we continue with that momentum.

We believe we can drive that to about 3 million vehicles, obviously, we're trying to do that as quickly as possible.

We are growing we're starting to see better momentum in growth in Q2.

Compared to Q1 and Q3, we continue with that momentum.

Speaker 3: Thirdly, the plan is to integrate Kosovo-Kasovsino what is the estimated impact going on to the introduction or think of cover that? Fourth question, where do you see quite a traditional common equity teaching over the coming years? Well, there's many ways of calculating that. So we've got quite a lot of cash. So if you give it out the cash, as a dividend, then obviously you'll be in a situation that your return on equity is sprained.

Currently the plan is to integrate Kazuko software.

Looking back at the introduction of our drink a cup of direct.

First question, where do you see contract return on common equity over the coming years.

There's many ways of calculating that so we've got quite a lot of cash. So if you if.

If you strip out the cash as a dividend, obviously youll be in a situation that character and integrity spikes.

Speaker 3: You certainly make embedded returns faster than any ever your earnings in a form of business. At what phase of growth cycle of the business, would it make sense for you to...

You, Susan making better returns for us.

Earnings in the form of business at what size of credit cycle of the business.

Would it make sense for you to buy.

Speaker 3: As for the Divin, given that the naturally high cash provision has special investments in organic growth and peace.

Forward the dividend given that the naturally architectural vision rise, especially in the business inorganic growth.

Speaker 3: I rather stay away from that question simply because we're quite pragmatic in the way we run the business. We've got sufficient cash to accelerate growth and we intend keeping a solid cash base on our balance sheet, not we've been doing and we generate quite a lot of pre cash flow and at this point in time we can deploy as much cash as we actually generate and send in. Next question please.

I'd, rather stay away from that question simply because we quite pragmatic in the way we run the business.

We've got sufficient cash to accelerate growth and we can keep them.

Solid cash.

Based on our balance sheet that we've been doing.

And we are generating quite a lot of pre cash flow and at this point in time, we can't deploy as much cash as we exit interact with sandy.

Next question from Ross free.

Speaker 3: Why does collusion go as happy stage as the good, the most compelling growth opportunity in the mid-and-too-long term? And when is it the term as Europe and Cochak at part of the three games in Europe ? Well, we certainly believe...

Why does cause allergic or atopic stature as the group's most compelling growth opportunity in the medium to long term and when is it the Tam is European car ticket because it would be.

In Europe , while we certainly believe southeast Asia is the largest states in the east in terms of the economy growth Southeast Asia is probably one of the most fastest growing economies in the <unk>.

Speaker 3: is the largest. It's certain it is in terms of the economy growth Southeast Asia is probably one of the most fastest grain economies in the world in the region. It's also a huge large adjustable market. We've come in as outsiders, we're making good progress. We're starting to get good momentum. And I think we've still got a very long way to go before we reach the full camp.

World.

The region.

It's also a huge knowledge of faithful market with communist outside as we are making good progress you're starting to get good momentum and I think we've still got a very long way to go before we would reach.

Okay.

It's worth it and answer the Oems.

Well.

Yeah.

Okay.

Speaker 3: It's so quite check out the double-end number of subscribers every four years.

Check out the double the number of subscribers every four years do you see this continue at this pace of course, the pace and currently we are growing slightly slower than that in those years and I think all when Covid came and then the one year post COVID-19 is sort of cramped desktop.

Speaker 3: You see this continue at the space of FIASTA pace. Currently we grow in slightly slower than we did in those years. I think when COVID came and then the one year post COVID, it sort of cramped our style, but we certainly are getting momentum. And our intention is to grow to more than double our subscriber base in less than four years. So it's just a position of us getting our momentum back, which is certainly are getting at post COVID.

But we certainly are getting momentum and our intention is to get out of it.

More than doubling our subscriber base in listening for years. So just a question of us, giving our momentum back, which we certainly are getting advice cause it.

Speaker 3: Alexander, can you talk about the new area of the Scarlet Grows from June 3, September ? Did you see improvements every month or was it fairly thatable? Any change in vehicles but customer in terms of what you added with quarter? So our customer base in terms of our ECU's large enterprise customers and consumers remains quite constant over the years.

Alexander.

Can you talk about.

The reality of subscriber growth from June to September <unk> every month or was it.

Tractable any changing vehicles per customer in terms of what you added this quarter.

Our customer base in terms of our AC knees launching across customers and consumers remains quite consistent over the years.
