Key Terms

saas technical
SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a way of delivering computer programs over the internet, allowing users to access and use them through a web browser without needing to install or maintain the software themselves. For investors, it highlights a business model where companies generate recurring revenue by providing ongoing access to their software, often leading to predictable income and growth potential.
arr financial
ARR, or Annual Recurring Revenue, is the predictable income a business expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It’s like a steady paycheck that shows the company's ability to generate consistent revenue over time, helping investors assess its stability and growth potential. ARR provides a clear picture of how well a company is performing in building long-term customer relationships.
adjusted eps financial
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.
free cash flow financial
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
6k regulatory
A Form 6-K is a regular report that foreign companies file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to share material information—such as financial updates, contracts, earnings summaries, or changes in management—with U.S. investors. It matters because it gives investors timely access to the same important news available in the company’s home market; like a public noticeboard, a 6-K helps prevent surprises that can change a stock’s risk profile or market value.

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Karooooo Limited (“Karooooo”) reported record results for the fourth quarter (“Q4 2026”) and year ended February 28, 2026 (“FY 2026”). Karooooo owns 100% of Cartrack and 81% of Karooooo Logistics, (collectively, “the group”).

Financial highlights include:

  • Q4 Cartrack South Africa Subscription Revenue growth accelerated to 22% Y/Y
  • Q4 Cartrack SaaS ARR increased 18% Y/Y reaching ZAR5,179 million and 38% in USD equivalent
  • FY 2026 Adjusted EPS increased 3% Y/Y to ZAR32.55 and 20% to USD2.05 in USD equivalent
  • FY 2026 Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased 90% Y/Y to ZAR809 million
  • Declared a USD1.50 dividend per share payable in July 2026, an increase of 20% Y/Y

“FY 2026 was another year of strong execution. Despite the stronger ZAR, Cartrack accelerated subscription revenue growth to 19%, up from 15% in the prior year. 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.”
