REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Powerfleet, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Powerfleet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the year ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-months period ended March 31, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, (the “comparative financial statements”), before the effects of the retrospective adjustments to the disclosures for a change in the composition of reportable segments and the adoption of ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), discussed in Notes 2 and 15 to the financial statements, were audited by a predecessor auditor whose report, dated August 22, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We also have audited the adjustments to these comparative financial statements to retrospectively adjust the disclosures to apply the change in accounting for the adoption of ASU 2023-07 in 2025, as discussed in Notes 2 and 15 to the financial statements. Our procedures included 1) comparing the adjustment amounts of segment revenues, cost of revenues, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, development costs incurred, development costs capitalized, depreciation and amortization expenses, and assets to the Company’s accounting records, (2) testing the mathematical accuracy of the reconciliations of segment amounts to the comparative financial statements, and (3) comparing the amounts of significant segment expenses to the Company’s accounting records. In our opinion, such retrospective adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-months period ended March 31, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 other than with respect to these retrospective adjustments, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on those comparative financial statements taken as a whole.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 26, 2025, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and
50
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Determination of Accounting Acquirer and Assessment of the Accounting Treatment - Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company consummated the MiX Combination and acquired MiX Telematics Limited (“MiX”) on April 2, 2024, for $370 million. We identified the determination of the accounting acquirer and assessment of the accounting treatment in the combination with MiX as a critical audit matter.
Evaluating the Company’s accounting treatment of the combination required significant auditor judgment. Specifically, a high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s determination of the accounting acquirer.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the determination of the accounting acquirer and assessment of the accounting treatment included the following, among others:
• We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness over the Company's control to evaluate the determination of the accounting acquirer.
• We evaluated management’s accounting memorandum that documented the factors in ASC 805 that the Company considered in determining the accounting acquirer, including voting interests held by the former shareholder groups and the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined Company and corroborated the information in the accounting analysis to third party sources and underlying supporting information.
• We utilised our accounting technical specialists to evaluate the Company’s determination of the accounting acquirer including the assessment of the voting interests of the various shareholder groups held in the Company post transaction and the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined entities.
MiX Combination - Refer to Note 2Y and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the MiX Combination for $370 million on April 2, 2024. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including trade name of $10 million, developed technology of $30 million and customer relationships of $113 million (the “acquired intangible assets”). Management estimated the fair value of the trade name and developed technology using the relief from royalty method. Management estimated the fair value of the customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a discounted cash flow method. The fair value determination of the trade name, developed technology, and customer relationships required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of the discount rates.
We identified the fair value of acquired trade name, developed technology and customer relationships from the MiX Combination as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions and estimates used in the valuation of the acquired intangible assets that possess higher degrees of complexity and sensitivity to the valuations. This required a high degree of audit judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assumptions. The significant assumptions and estimates management makes to fair value the acquired intangible assets primarily relate to the future projected revenue and the discount rates applied to the future cash flows.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to future projected revenue and the selection of the discount rates applied to the future cash flows for the acquired intangible assets included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over management’s accounting and valuation of intangible assets, including the review of forecasts of future cash flows, revenue growth rates and the selection of the discount rate.
51
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the valuation methodologies, and the reasonableness of the customer attrition rates, useful lives, royalty rates and discount rates, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the customer attrition rates, useful lives and royalty rates selected by management.
• We assessed the reasonableness of management’s future projected revenue by comparing the projections to historical results, certain peer companies, industry data, and Board of Directors presentations.
• We evaluated whether the future projected revenue was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
Fleet Complete Acquisition - Refer to Note 2Y and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the Fleet Complete acquisition for $190 million on October 1, 2024. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including trade name of $4 million, developed technology of $25 million and customer relationships of $70 million (the “acquired intangible assets”). Management estimated the fair value of the trade name and developed technology using the relief from royalty method. Management estimated the fair value of the customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a discounted cash flow method. The fair value determination of the trade name, developed technology, and customer relationships required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of the discount rates.
We identified the fair value of acquired trade name, developed technology and customer relationships from the Fleet Complete acquisition as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions and estimates used in the valuation of the acquired intangible assets that possess higher degrees of complexity and sensitivity to the valuations. This required a high degree of audit judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assumptions. The significant assumptions and estimates management makes to fair value the acquired intangible assets primarily relate to the future projected revenue and the discount rates applied to the future cash flows.

• We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over management’s accounting and valuation of intangible assets, including the review of forecasts of future cash flows, revenue growth rates and the selection of the discount rate.
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the valuation methodologies, and the reasonableness of the customer attrition rates, useful lives, royalty rates and discount rates, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the customer attrition rates, useful lives and royalty rates selected by management.
• We assessed the reasonableness of management’s future projected revenue by comparing the projections to historical results, certain peer companies, industry data, and Board of Directors presentations.
• We evaluated whether the future projected revenue was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

POWERFLEET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In thousands (except per share data)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
Description of the Company
Powerfleet, Inc. (the “Company” or “Powerfleet”) is a global provider of Artificial Intelligence-of-Things (“AIoT”) solutions providing valuable business intelligence for managing high-value enterprise assets that improve operational efficiencies. The Company has a primary listing on The Nasdaq Global Market and a secondary listing on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

See Note 3 for additional information.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[A] Basis of preparation and consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto. On May 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in its fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31 in order to better align the Company’s reporting calendar with the April 2, 2024 close of the MiX Combination and MiX Telematics’ historical March 31 fiscal year end. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. We round amounts in the consolidated financial statements to thousands.
[B] Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, assumptions used in business combinations, allowance for credit losses, income taxes, realization of deferred tax assets, accounting for uncertain tax positions, the impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill and long-lived assets, capitalized software development costs, standalone selling prices (“SSP”), valuation of the derivative asset, and market-based stock-based compensation costs. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions made.
63
[C] Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents unless they are legally or contractually restricted. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and other local jurisdictional limits. Restricted cash at March 31, 2024 consisted of escrow amounts of $ 85,000 for a facilities agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) with FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division) (“RMB”) deposited in escrow for the MiX Combination and cash of $ 310 held in escrow for purchases from a vendor. Restricted cash at March 31, 2025 consisted of cash of $ 3,336 held in escrow related to the FC Acquisition to secure certain tax liabilities, cash of $ 311 held in escrow for purchases from a vendor, cash of $ 698 held by MiX Telematics Enterprise BEE Trust to be used solely for the benefit of its beneficiaries and c ash securing guarantees of $ 51 issued in respect of property lease agreements entered into by MiX Telematics Australasia.
[D] Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses:
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses against its accounts receivable for potential losses.
The Company’s receivables were evaluated to determine an appropriate allowance for credit losses. For trade receivables, the Company’s historical collections were analyzed by the number of days past due to determine the uncollectible rate in each range of days past due and considerations of any changes expected in the future. The estimate of the allowance for credit losses is charged to the allowance for credit losses based on the age of receivables multiplied by the historical uncollectible rate for the range of days past due or earlier if the account is deemed uncollectible for other reasons. Recoveries of amounts previously charged as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
An analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 is as follows (in thousands):
Allowance for credit losses, December 31, 2023 $ 2,797
Current period provision for expected credit losses 970
Write-offs charged against the allowance
( 545 )
Foreign currency translation ( 25 )
Allowance for credit losses, March 31, 2024 $ 3,197
Current period provision for expected credit losses 9,418
Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 8,908 )
Foreign currency translation 350
Allowance for credit losses, March 31, 2025 $ 4,057
[E] Revenue recognition:
The Company and its subsidiaries generate revenue from sales of systems and products and from customer SaaS and hosting infrastructure fees. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with the Company’s base warranties continue to be recognized as an expense when the products are sold (see Note 12).
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales are recognized at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped, or when control of the system is transferred to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system and when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied. The Company utilizes significant judgment to determine whether control of the hardware has transferred to the customer (i.e. distinct to the customer separate from SaaS services provided). For products which are not distinct to the customer separate from the SaaS services provided, the Company considers both hardware and SaaS services a bundled performance obligation.
64
When another party is involved in providing products or services to the end customer, the Company evaluates the nature of its promise to determine whether it is acting as an agent or principal in the sales transaction. The Company considers itself acting as a principal if it controls the specified products or services before they are transferred to the end customers, otherwise the Company is acting as an agent. The Company determines control as the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the products or services. Control includes the ability to prevent others from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, the products or services. Revenue is recognized based on the gross amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the specified products or services when acting as a principal and is recognized based on any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled to in exchange for arranging for the specified products or services to be provided by the other party.
Under the applicable accounting guidance, all of the Company’s billings for future services are deferred and classified as a current and long-term liability. The deferred revenue is recognized over the service contract life, ranging from one to five years , beginning at the time that a customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment and service. Payment terms are generally 30 days after invoice date.
The Company recognizes revenue for remotely hosted SaaS agreements and post-contract maintenance and support agreements beyond our standard warranties over the life of the contract. Revenue is recognized ratably over the service periods and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. Amounts invoiced to customers which are not recognized as revenue are classified as deferred revenue and classified as current or long-term based upon the terms of future services to be delivered. Deferred revenue also includes prepayment of extended maintenance, hosting and support contracts.
The Company earns other service revenues from installation services, training and technical support services which are short-term in nature and revenue for these services is recognized at the time of performance when the service is provided.
The Company also derives revenue from leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering product or system sale, maintenance, support and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as operating or sales-type leases. Accordingly, for sales-type leases an asset is established for the “sales-type lease receivable” at the present value of the expected lease payments and revenue is deferred and recognized over the service contract, as described above. Maintenance revenues and interest income are recognized monthly over the lease term.
The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative SSP. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of its transactions, the customer demographic, price lists, its go-to-market strategy and historical and current sales and contract prices. As the Company’s go-to-market strategies evolve, it may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.
In certain cases, the Company is able to establish SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when it has observable prices. If SSP is not directly observable, for example when pricing is highly variable, the Company uses a range of SSP. The Company determines the SSP range using information that may include pricing practices or other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer size.
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract arising from the sales commissions to distributors and employees because the Company expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers. The Company amortizes the asset over one to five years because the asset relates to the services transferred to the customer during the contract term of one to five years .
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.
[F] Inventory:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the “moving average” cost method or the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory consists of components, work in process and finished products.
65
Inventory write-downs are established in order to report inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The determination of inventory valuation reserves requires management to make estimates and judgments on the future salability of inventories. Valuation reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory are estimated based on assumptions of future sales forecasts, product life cycle expectations, the impact of new product introductions, production requirements, and specific identification of items, such as product discontinuance or engineering/material changes and by comparing the inventory levels to historical usage rates.
[G] Fixed assets and depreciation:
Fixed assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The following table provides the range of estimated useful lives used for each asset type:
Useful Life
(years)
Installed products 3 - 5
Computer software 3 - 5
Computers and electronic equipment 3 - 10
Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7
Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or lease term
Plant and equipment 1 - 8
[H] Long-lived assets:
Long-lived assets, which include definite lived intangible assets and fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and would be charged to earnings. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
[I] Goodwill and intangibles:
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized and are tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless the lives are determined to be indefinite. Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets consist of trademarks and trade names, patents, customer relationships and other intangible assets. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. The Company operates with one operating segment, which is its only reporting unit and aligns with its only reportable segment.
The Company tests for goodwill impa irment at the reporting unit level on October 1 of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates the possibility of an impairment. As of October 1, 2024, the Company performed a quantitative assessment whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is calculated using a market approach. The fair value of the reporting unit was substantially more than its carrying value.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill. The Company considered such factors as the Company’s market capitalization as of March 31, 2025 and over a period of time, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and overall financial performance. The fair value of the reporting unit was substantially more than its carrying value. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not incur an impairment charge.
66
[J] Product warranties:
The Company typically provides a 1 to 8-year warranty on its products. Estimated future warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These estimates are derived from historical data and trends of product reliability and costs of repairing and replacing defective products.
[K] Research and development:
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, supplies and contractor costs. Research and development costs were $ 8,472 , $ 8,380 , $ 2,018 and $ 16,061 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company capitalizes the portion of its internal-use software development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization.
[L] Internal-use software and technology
The Company capitalizes as intangible assets, internal-use software acquired or developed solely to meet the Company’s internal needs. Costs, excluding general and administrative costs such as general overheads, legal, research, business process engineering and data conversion costs, are capitalized from the date on which management implicitly or explicitly authorizes, or commits to fund, the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will perform the intended function (application development stage). All costs incurred during the preliminary development stage are expensed. Capitalization ceases when the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use.
Costs, including annual licenses, associated with maintaining computer software programs, and training costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements (modifications to existing internal-use software that provides additional functionality) are capitalized during the application development stage.
Software capitalized is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life ranging from 3 to 7 years, commencing on the date when the software is ready for its intended use.
[M] Patent costs:
Costs incurred in connection with acquiring patent rights are charged to expense as incurred.
[N] Concentration of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in deposits with major banks worldwide. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear low risk. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments have a high credit rating.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, there were no customers who generated revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues or generated greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable.
[O] Benefit plan:
The Company maintains a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers all eligible employees. All employees with U.S. source income are eligible to participate in the plan immediately upon employment. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company contributed $ 285 , $ 379 , $ 88 , and $ 456 , respectively, to the plan.
[P] Severance pay:
The liability of the Company’s subsidiaries in Israel for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law 5273-1963 (the “Severance Law”) based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of
67
employment as of balance sheet date and are presented on an undiscounted basis. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The liability for the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset and classified as severance payable fund in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to the Severance Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes profits or losses accumulated to balance sheet date.
Some of the Company’s employees are subject to Section 14 of the Severance Law and the General Approval of the Labor Minister dated June 30, 1998, issued in accordance to the said Section 14, mandating that upon termination of such employees’ employment, all the amounts accrued in their insurance policies shall be released to them. The severance pay liabilities and deposits covered by these plans are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds.
[Q] Stock-based compensation:
The Company operates various stock-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Company. Settlement has taken place out of a fresh issue of shares. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation for all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as an operating expense based on their fair values on the grant date. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $ 4,343 , $ 3,908 , $ 1,028 , and $ 9,362 , for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company estimates the fair value of share-based option awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The estimate is based on the Company’s historical rates of forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
[R] Income taxes:
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of such date. Additionally, there have been no unrecognized tax benefits subsequent to adoption. The Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue according to the provisions of relevant tax law as selling, general, and administrative expenses and incomes taxes, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, interest and penalties were immaterial. The Company elected to account for the U.S. tax on its Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) from its foreign subsidiaries as a period cost and, therefore included GILTI expense in its effective tax rate calculation.
68
[S] Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those levels:
• Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s estimates of market participant assumptions.
The carrying value of finance lease receivables approximates fair value due to the interest rate implicit in the instruments approximating current market rates. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short-term bank debt approximates their fair values due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the loans to external parties included in other non-current assets is determined using unobservable market data (Level 3 inputs) that represent management ’ s estimate of current interest rates that a commercial lender would charge borrower s. The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on observable relevant market information and future cash flows discounted at current rates, which are Level 2 measurements. The Prepayment Derivative (as defined below) within the RMB Facilities (as defined below) is classified as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of at least one significant unobservable input which is the credit spread volatility (see Note 11).

There were no transfers between Level 1 or Level 2, or transfers in or out of Level 3, of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended March 31, 2025.
[T] Advertising and marketing expense:
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are classified a s s elling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations . Advertising and marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $ 1,130 , $ 2,300 $ 1,698 and $ 5,000 , respectively.
[U] Foreign currency:
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S dollar (“USD”). For businesses where the majority of the revenues are generated in USD and a substantial portion of the costs are incurred in USD, the Company’s management believes that the USD is the primary currency of the economic environment and thus their functional currency. Due to the fact that Argentina has been determined to be highly inflationary, the financial statements of our subsidiary in Argentina have been remeasured as if its functional currency was the USD. The Company also has foreign operations where the functional currency is the local currency. For these operations, assets and liabilities are translated using the end-of-period exchange rates and revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated using average rates of exchange for the period. Equity is translated at the rate of exchange at the date of the equity transaction. Translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

[Y] Business combinations:
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company recognizes the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Determining these fair values requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
The Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill or bargain purchase to the extent that it identifies adjustments to the preliminary fair values. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
[Z] Reclassification
During fiscal year 2025, amounts previously presented on the consolidated balance sheets as “accounts payable and accrued expenses” are now presented as “accounts payable” and “accrued expenses and other current liabilities”. Prior period amounts previously presented as such have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Certain other reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or accumulated deficit.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION
MiX Combination
On the Implementation Date (April 2, 2024), the Company consummated the MiX Combination, pursuant to which Powerfleet Sub acquired all the issued ordinary shares of MiX Telematics (including those represented by MiX Telematics’ American Depositary Shares) through the implementation of a scheme of arrangement in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, MiX Telematics became the Company’s indirect, wholly owned subsidiary.
71
The MiX Combination met the criteria for a business combination to be accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805, with the Company identified as the legal and the accounting acquirer.
The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer under ASC 805, based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances favoring Powerfleet as the accounting acquirer over those supporting MiX Telematics as the accounting acquirer:
• The majority of the Company’s board of directors following the MiX Combination was composed of directors with prior affiliation to the Company. In addition, the Company’s Chairperson continued in the role following the MiX Combination;
• Following the MiX Combination, the majority of the senior management team, including the Chief Executive Officer, comprised the Company’s senior management team who were already operating in that capacity for the Company prior to the MiX Combination;
• While the voting rights of 65.5 % in favor of MiX Telematics was an indicator that MiX Telematics may have been the acquirer, the Company believed that the weight of the indicator was tempered given that the negotiated premium paid by Powerfleet to MiX Telematics contributed to the relative ownership split and that, qualitatively, the significant reduction in the carryover MiX Telematics institutional investor base would have reduced the legacy MiX Telematics shareholders’ ability to control the combined entity, particularly in the light of the significant concentration of institutional investors on the Powerfleet side; and
• While no individual or organized group owned a large minority interest in the combined entity, the largest institutional investor following the MiX Combination was an investor of legacy Powerfleet. Additionally, immediately following the closing of the MiX Combination, 30 % of the approximately 35 % of total shares held by shareholders of legacy Powerfleet were concentrated in the Company’s top 20 institutional shareholders, compared to only 9 % of the approximately 65 % of total shares held by shareholders of legacy MiX Telematics.
The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred for MiX Telematics was $ 369,823 as of the Implementation Date, which consisted of the following:
(in thousands, except for share price and exchange ratio) April 2,
2024
Number of MiX Telematics ordinary shares outstanding 554,021
Exchange ratio 0.12762
Shares of Powerfleet common stock issued for MiX Telematics ordinary shares outstanding
70,704
Powerfleet stock price* 5.12
Fair value of Powerfleet common stock transferred to MiX Telematics shareholders 362,005
Replacement of acquiree’s equity awards by the acquirer** 7,818
Total fair value of consideration
369,823
* Powerfleet’s closing share price on April 2, 2024.
** The portion of the fair-value-based measurement of the replacement award that is part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquiree equals the portion of the acquiree award that is attributable to pre-combination vesting.
Allocation of Purchase Price
The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is attributed to the assembled workforce, expected synergies from future expected economic benefits, including enhanced revenue growth from expanded products and capabilities, as well as substantial cost savings from duplicative overheads, streamlined operations and enhanced efficiency. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The allocation of purchase price was as follows (in thousands):

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 26,737

Total liabilities assumed $ 106,227
Total identifiable net assets acquired $ 153,029
Non-controlling interest ( 5 )
Goodwill 216,799
Purchase price consideration $ 369,823
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the identifiable assets acquired, have been determined using the income and cost approach, and are partially based on inputs that are unobservable. The Company used discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analyses to assess certain components of its purchase price allocation. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value of the tradename and developed technology was determined using an income approach based on the relief from royalty method.
For the fair values, the Company used (i) forecasted future cash flows, (ii) historical and projected financial information, (iii) synergies including cost savings, (iv) revenue growth rates, (v) customer attrition rates, (vi) royalty rates, and (vii) discount rates, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating fair values.
The initial accounting for the business combination was complete at December 31, 2024. The fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are final and therefore, adjustments to them and the resulting goodwill will not occur in future.

Acquisition-related costs are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Financial Information
The business acquired in the MiX Combination contributed revenue of $ 171,167 and a net loss of $ 10,730 for the year ended March 31, 2025.
FC Acquisition
On the FC Closing Date (October 1, 2024), the Company consummated the FC Acquisition, pursuant to which Fleet Complete became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in exchange for payment by the Purchasers of an aggregate purchase price of $ 190,000 , subject to certain customary working capital and other adjustments as described in the Purchase Agreement (as adjusted, the “Purchase Price”).
The FC Acquisition met the criteria for a business combination to be accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805, with the Company identified as the legal and the accounting acquirer.
The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred for the FC Acquisition was $ 189,950 as of the FC Closing Date, which consisted of the following:

October 1,
2024
Shares of Powerfleet common stock issued

* Powerfleet’s closing share price on October 1, 2024.
$ 60,000 of the cash portion of the Purchase Price was funded by the Private Placement, as described below, and $ 125,000 of the cash portion of the Purchase Price was funded with a senior secured term loan facility provided by RMB, as described in Note 11 below.
Concurrently with the closing of the FC Acquisition, on October 1, 2024, the Company consummated a private placement contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024, by and among the Company and various accredited investors party thereto (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors purchased from the Company, and the Company issued to such Investors, an aggregate of 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 3.50 f
74
or aggregate gross proceeds of $ 70,000 (the “Private Placement”). $ 60,000 of such gross proceeds funded a portion of the Purchase Price with the remaining $ 10,000 in proceeds expected to be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes. Timing of the receipt of proceeds, gross of issuance costs, was $ 62,000 by September 30, 2024, with the remaining $ 8,000 on October 1, 2024.
Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, expected synergies from future expected economic benefits, including enhanced revenue growth from expanded products and capabilities, as well as substantial cost savings from duplicative overheads, streamlined operations and enhanced efficiency. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The preliminary allocation of purchase price was as follows (in thousands):
October 1,

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,964
Accounts receivable, net 19,990
Inventory, net 6,598

Total liabilities assumed $ 44,323
Total identifiable net assets acquired $ 107,705
Goodwill 82,245
Purchase price consideration $ 189,950
The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed is provisional and the Company will continue to adjust those estimates as additional information pertaining to events or circumstances present at October 1, 2024 becomes available and final valuation and analysis are completed. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized an adjustment of $ 7,496 against goodwill due to the
75
finalization of deferred income taxes. In addition, the Company is still in the process of determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, which may also result in adjustments of the provisional amounts recorded. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the identifiable assets acquired, have been preliminarily determined using the income and cost approach, and are partially based on inputs that are unobservable. The Company used DCF analyses to assess certain components of its purchase price allocation. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The fair value of the tradename and developed technology was determined using an income approach based on the relief from royalty method.
For the fair value estimates, the Company used (i) forecasted future cash flows, (ii) historical and projected financial information, (iii) synergies including cost savings, (iv) revenue growth rates, (v) customer attrition rates, (vi) royalty rates, and (vii) discount rates, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating fair values. These estimates require judgment and are subject to change. Differences between the preliminary estimates and final accounting may occur, and those could be material.
The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, but the potential for measurement period adjustments exists based on the Company’s continuing review of matters related to the acquisition. Adjustments to initial preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and assumed liabilities during the measurement period until October 1, 2025, will be recorded during the period in which the adjustments are determined, including the effect on earnings of any amounts we would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed (i.e. the historical reported financial statements will not be retrospectively adjusted).
The provisional amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed include:
• The fair value of accounts receivable and other receivables which may be subject to adjustment for reassessment of collectability as of the date of acquisition, collections and other adjustment subsequent to the acquisition;
• Property and equipment, for which the preliminary estimates are subject to revision for finalization of preliminary appraisals;
• Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, which will be subject to adjustment upon completion of the review of the inputs, including sublease assumptions, for the calculations;
• Acquired inventory, which values are still being assessed on an individual basis;
• Prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, which will be subject to adjustment based upon completion of working capital clean up and assessment of other factors;
• The recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with ASC 606 will be subject to adjustment upon completion of assessment;
• Acquired intangible assets will be subject to adjustment as additional assets are identified, estimates and forecasts are refined and disaggregated, useful lives are finalized, and other factors deemed relevant are considered;
• Deferred income taxes will be subject to adjustment based upon the completion of the review of the book and tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, applicable tax rates and the impact of the revisions of estimates for the items described above; and
• Goodwill will be subject to adjustment for the impact of the revisions of estimates for the items described above.
The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $ 2.04 $ 1.66 $ 2.66
No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected life of options is based on historical data with respect to employee exercise periods.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $ 2,943 , $ 2,712 , $ 688 , and $ 3,098 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively, in connection with awards made under the stock option plans. The increase in the recognized expense is due to the approved acceleration of vesting of unvested restricted stock and stock option awards with time-based vesting conditions that were outstanding under the Powerfleet equity plans (including any inducement awards with time-based vesting) in connection with the closing of the MiX Combination. The accelerated vesting of the Company’s equity awards is not part of what was acquired in the MiX Combination, nor what was paid for in the MiX Combination, because it was for the benefit of the Company’s employees rather than for the benefit of MiX Telematics’ employees. Therefore, the acceleration of the equity awards was treated as a separate transaction from the MiX Combination and the acceleration of vesting was accounted for immediately upon closing of the MiX Combination on April 2, 2024.
The fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $ 869 , $ 931 , $ 532 and $ 1,752 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $ 9 . There were no option exercises that occurred during the years ended December 31, 2022, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, there was $ 682 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans excluding the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.97 years.
As of March 31, 2025, there was $ 2,177 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans for the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.91 years.
The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of valuation and reduces expenses ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.
[B] Restricted Stock Awards:
The Company grants restricted stock to employees, whereby the employees are contractually restricted from transferring the shares until they are vested. The stock is unvested at the time of grant, and, upon vesting, there are no legal restrictions on the stock. Some participants have the option to have their shares withheld for their taxes upon vesting. Shares withheld for taxes are treated as a purchase of treasury stock. The fair value of each share is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant. A summary of all unvested restricted stock for the year ended March 31, 2025 is as follows:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $ 1,347 , $ 1,196 , $ 340 , and $ 3,337 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively, in connection with restricted stock grants. As of March 31, 2025, there was $ 36 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.13 years. The increase in the recognized expense is due to the approved acceleration of vesting of unvested restricted stock and stock option awards with time-based vesting conditions that are outstanding under the Powerfleet equity plans (including any inducement awards with time-based vesting) in connection with the closing of the MiX Combination. The accelerated vesting of the Company’s equity awards is not part of what was acquired in the MiX Combination, nor what was paid for in the MiX Combination because it was for the benefit of the Company’s employees rather than for the benefit of MiX Telematics’ employees. Therefore, the accelerat
83
ion of the equity awards was treated as a separate transaction from the MiX Combination and the acceleration of vesting was accounted for immediately upon closing of the MiX Combination on April 2, 2024.
During fiscal year 2025, the Company granted 1,250 restricted shares of common stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of which 312.5 shares vest in equal installments over a three-year period, provided that the executive is employed by the Company on each scheduled vesting date and 937.5 restricted shares with market-based vesting condition. The market-based restricted shares will vest in equal installments over a three-year period following the date on which the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 60-day trading period (the “60 Day VWAP”) ranges between $ 6.00 and $ 10.00 . The Company valued the market-based restricted stock awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model using a daily price forecast over ten years until expiration utilizing Geometric Brownian Motion that considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s common stock price, risk-free rate ( 4.3 )%, and expected stock price volatility ( 57.5 )% over the expected life of awards ( 10 years). The weighted average fair value of market-based stock options granted during the period was $ 5.35 . Grant date for these awards was determined to be March 30, 2025.

[C] Stock Appreciation Rights:
In connection with the closing of the MiX Combination, the Company assumed each of MiX Telematics’ share plans. MiX Telematics issued equity-classified share incentives under the MiX Telematics Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) to directors and certain key employees within the Company.
The LTIP provides for three types of grants to be issued, namely performance shares, restricted share units and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). On the Implementation Date (April 2, 2024), the only issued and outstanding equity awards under the LTIP were SARs, and the Company assumed the outstanding SARs in issue. No additional performance shares or restricted share units will be issued or assumed by the Company.
84
The replacement of MiX Telematics’ share-based payment awards has been treated as a modification under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation as of the Implementation Date. The fair value of the replacement SARs issued was allocated between pre-combination and post-combination service based on the vesting period. The fair value related to pre-combination service is included as part of the fair value of the consideration in the MiX Combination (see Note 3), and the fair value related to post-combination service is to be recognized as an expense over the remaining vesting period.
The total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the year ended March 31, 2025 was $ 2,926 .

NOTE 10 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Weighted-average common share outstanding - basic and diluted 35,393 35,628 35,813 119,877
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock and performance share awards. We include participating securities (unvested share-based payment awards and equivalents that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents) in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company’s participating securities consist solely of preferred stock, which have contractual participation rights equivalent to those of stockholders of unrestricted common stock. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an
85
allocation method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company.

RMB Facility
On March 7, 2024, as part of the MiX Combination, MiX Telematics and Powerfleet entered into the Facilities Agreement with RMB. Following the signing of the Facilities Agreement, MiX Telematics entered into a Facility Notice and General Terms and Conditions (the “Credit Agreement”) with RMB on March 14, 2024 for a 364-day committed general banking facility of R 350,000 (the equivalent of $ 18,984 as at March 31, 2025 ) (the “RMB General Facility”). The Credit Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties are subject to the terms and conditions of the Facilities Agreement, which is described in more detail below.
The RMB General Facility is repayable on demand and has a term of 365 days from the Available Date (as defined therein). Repayment of the RMB General Facility, including capitalized interest, is due by the earlier of (a) the Available Date or (b) April 2, 2025, unless extended by agreement between MiX Telematics and RMB. Interest rate for the RMB General Facility is calculated at South African prime rate minus 0.75 % per annum and will be calculated on the daily outstanding balance, compounded monthly in arrears and repaid quarterly.
During April 2025, the RMB General Facility repayment terms were extended by an additional 365 days on the same terms and conditions of the Facilities Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, $ 18,006 of the RMB General Facility was utilized.
Hapoalim Debt
As of March 31, 2025, Powerfleet Israel Ltd. (“Powerfleet Israel”) had utilized approximately $ 17,422 under the Hapoalim Revolving Facilities, which are described below .
Long-Term Debt
Hapoalim Debt
In connection with the Pointer acquisition, Powerfleet Israel incurred New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) denominated debt in term loan borrowings on October 3, 2019 under a Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“Hapoalim”), pursuant to which Hapoalim agreed to provide Powerfleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 30,000 (composed of two facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $ 20,000 and $ 10,000 , respectively and a five-year revolving credit facility to Pointer Telocation Ltd. (“Pointer”) denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 10,000 (collectively, the “Prior Credit Facilities”). The Prior Credit Facilities were scheduled to mature on October 3, 2024.
On March 18, 2024, Powerfleet Israel and Pointer (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the “A&R Credit Agreement”), which refinanced the facilities under, and amended and restated, the Prior Credit Agreement. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for (i) two senior secured term loan facilities denominated in NIS to Powerfleet Israel in an aggregate principal amount of $ 30,000 (composed of two facilities in the aggregate principal amounts of $ 20,000 and $ 10,000 , respectively) (“Hapoalim Facility A” and “Hapoalim Facility B,” respect
86
ively, and, collectively, the “Hapoalim Term Facilities”) and (ii) two revolving credit facilities to Pointer in an aggregate principal amount of $ 20,000 (composed of two revolvers in the aggregate principal amounts of $ 10,000 and $ 10,000 , respectively) (“Hapoalim Facility C” and “Hapoalim Facility D,” respectively, and, collectively, the “Hapoalim Revolving Facilities” and, together with the Hapoalim Term Facilities, the “Hapoalim Credit Facilities”). Powerfleet Israel drew down $ 30,000 in cash under the Hapoalim Term Facilities on March 18, 2024 and used the proceeds to prepay approximately $ 11,200 , representing the remaining outstanding balance, of the Prior Credit Facilities, with the remaining proceeds distributed to Powerfleet. The proceeds of the Hapoalim Revolving Facilities may be used by Pointer for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
On December 30, 2024, the Borrowers entered into an amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement, which increases the principal amount available under Hapoalim Facility D from $ 10,000 to $ 20,000 and provides that the total principal amount of Hapoalim Facility D may be distributed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries by no later than December 31, 2025, subject to certain terms and conditions of the A&R Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2025, Pointer had utilized $ 17,422 under the Hapoalim Revolving Facilities. The available undrawn facility balance at March 31, 2025 was $ 12,578 .
The interest rates for borrowings under Hapoalim Facility A and Hapoalim Facility B are Hapoalim’s prime rate + 2.2 % per annum, and Hapoalim’s prime rate + 2.3 % per annum, respectively. Hapoalim’s prime rate at March 31, 2025 was 6 % . Interest is payable quarterly on March 25, June 25, September 25, and December 25 over five years. The first interest period ended on June 25, 2024. Hapoalim Facility A amortizes in quarterly installments over its five-year term and will be payable in the following aggregate annual amounts: (i) 10 % of the principal amount of Hapoalim Facility A from March 18, 2024 until March 18, 2025, (ii) 25 % of the principal amount of Hapoalim Facility A from March 18, 2025 until March 18, 2026, (iii) 27.5 % of the principal amount of Hapoalim Facility A from March 18, 2026 until March 18, 2027, (iv) 27.5 % of the principal amount of Hapoalim Facility A from March 18, 2027 until March 18, 2028, and (v) 10 % of the principal amount of Hapoalim Facility A from March 18, 2028 until March 18, 2029. Hapoalim Facility B does not amortize and will be payable in full on March 18, 2029.
The interest rate for borrowings under Hapoalim Facility C is, with respect to NIS-denominated loans, Hapoalim’s prime rate + 2.5 %, and with respect to U.S. dollar-denominated loans, SOFR + 2.15 %. Borrowings under Hapoalim Facility D will bear interest at the applicable interest rate set forth in the standard form documents entered into in connection with each utilization of Hapoalim Facility D. In addition, Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee in NIS, with respect to Hapoalim Facility C, and a non-utilization fee in U.S. dollars, with respect to Hapoalim Facility D, in each case, equal to 0.5 % per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the revolving facilities during the period commencing on March 18, 2024 and ending on the last day of the applicable availability period of such revolving facilities. The Borrowers have also paid certain upfront fees and other fees and expenses to Hapoalim in connection with the A&R Credit Agreement. The Hapoalim Revolving Facilities were set to mature on March 18, 2025; however, on March 2, 2025, the payment terms were extended to February 27, 2026.
Borrowings under the Hapoalim Term Facilities are voluntarily prepayable at any time, in whole or in part, and are not subject to any prepayment premium. Voluntary prepayments of the Hapoalim Term Facilities must be made in minimum increments of NIS 1 million. In addition to certain customary mandatory prepayment requirements, the A&R Credit Agreement also requires Powerfleet Israel to make prepayments on the Hapoalim Term Facilities to the extent it receives distributions from Pointer, except for any such distributions made to cover certain expenses of Powerfleet Israel in its normal course of operations.
The A&R Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to Pointer’s net debt levels which must be less than 100 % of Working Capital as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement, the ratio of each Borrower’s net debt to Pointer’s EBITDA must not exceed 4.75 , Powerfleet Israel’s minimum equity which must not be less than $ 60,000 , and the ratio of Powerfleet Israel’s equity to its total assets which must be greater than 35 % and the ratio of Pointer’s net debt to EBITDA ratio must not exceed 2 . The occurrence of any event of default under the A&R Credit Agreement may result in all outstanding indebtedness under the Hapoalim Credit Facilities becoming immediately due and payable. The financial covenants have been met for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
The Hapoalim Credit Facilities continue to be secured by first ranking and exclusive fixed and floating charges, including by Powerfleet Israel over the entire share capital of Pointer and by Pointer over all of its assets, as well as cross guarantees between Powerfleet Israel and Pointer, except that the Borrowers’ holdings in Pointer do Brasil Comercial Ltda., Pointer Argentina and Pointer South Africa are excluded from such floating charges. No other assets of the Company will serve as collateral under the Hapoalim Credit Facilities.
87
The Hapoalim Term Facilities under the A&R Credit Agreement have been accounted for as modifications of the term facilities that were provided under the Prior Credit Agreement because the change in the present value of the cash flows under the A&R Credit Agreement is less than 10 % of the present value of the cash flows under the Prior Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Hapoalim Term Facilities ($ 40,000 ), less the prepayment of the term loans under the Prior Credit Facility (approximately $ 11,200 ), amounting to approximately $ 28,800 , has been recognized as an increase in the carrying value of the prior term loans that was recognized previously.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2023, and the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 15 , $ 133 and $ 110 , respectively, of additional deferred costs to the original debt issuance costs and the refinancing fee paid to Hapoalim. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a cost of $ 33 net of additional deferred costs and credit to the original debt issuance costs and amortization of the original debt issuance co sts. The Company recorded charges of $ 824 , $ 572 , $ 111 and $ 2,410 to interest expense on its Consolidated Statement of Operatio ns for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2025, respectively, related to interest expense associated with the Hapoalim debt.
RMB Debt
On March 7, 2024, the Company entered into the Facilities Agreement with RMB, pursuant to which RMB agreed to provide the Company with two term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $ 85,000 , composed of Facility A and Facility B, each with a principal amount of $ 42,500 (“RMB Facility A” and “RMB Facility B,” respectively, and collectively, the “RMB Facilities”). The Company drew down $ 85,000 in cash under the RMB Facilities on March 13, 2024, and the proceeds to redeem all the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and for general corporate purposes. The RMB Facilities are guaranteed by the Company, I.D. Systems, Inc. (“I.D. Systems”) and Movingdots GmbH (“Movingdots”), and there is a security agreement over the shares in Main Street 2000 Proprietary Limited (“MS2000”), I.D. Systems, and Movingdots.
The interest rates of borrowings under RMB Facility A and RMB Facility B are 8.699 % per annum and 8.979 % per annum, respectively. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. RMB Facility A matures on March 31, 2027, and RMB Facility B matures on March 31, 2029. The Company may prepay the RMB Facilities at any time, subject to a minimum reduction of $ 5,000 and multiples of $ 1,000 . If the Company prepays any amount during the first or second annual period of the funding, a refinancing fee equal to 2 % or 1 %, respectively, of the prepayment will be payable. Also, the RMB Facilities are mandatorily prepayable upon the occurrence of uncertain future events, such as a change of control or a transfer of the business. In the event that either prepayment occurs, the respective prepayment amount will be adjusted for RMB’s break gains or losses, which relate mainly to the unwinding of interest rate derivatives (the “Prepayment Derivative”) which RMB entered into with third parties to fix the interest rates on the RMB Facilities. Since RMB’s break gains/losses could result in the Company prepaying at a discount, or a premium, of 10 % or more to the initial carrying amount of the RMB Facilities, the optional and contingent repayment features were to be embedded derivatives in the scope of ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives. The Prepayment Derivative within each RMB Facility has been bifurcated and accounted for at fair value separately from the respective debt-host contracts which are accounted for at amortized cost. The terms of the debt-host contracts have been bifurcated to adjust the carrying value of the debt upon separating the derivative. Upon initial recognition of the RMB Facilities, a Prepayment Derivative asset of $ 610 and $ 1,616 for RMB Facility A and RMB Facility B, respectively, was recognized with a corresponding increase in the initial carrying amount of each debt-host contract. The fair value of the embedded derivative is estimated using a “with-and-without” approach as the difference between the value of the RMB Facilities with and without the embedded derivative using both the binomial lattice model and discounted cash flow analysis.
The following key assumptions were used in March 31, 2025:
Facility A Facility B
Credit spread volatility 55 % 35 %
Credit spread 4.48 % 4.99 %
Credit rating B B
Risk free rate SOFR spot rate
SOFR spot rate
As of March 31, 2024 and 2025, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ( SOFR ) spot rate was 5.34 % and 4.41 %, respectively .
88
The Prepayment Derivative is classified as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of at least one significant unobservable input which is the credit spread volatility . At inception, the credit spread was an observable input based on the transaction price of the debt; however, in future periods, it will also be an unobservable input. For the Prepayment Derivative asset in RMB Facility A, a change of -10% in credit spread volatility would result in a decrease in the derivative asset of $ 82 , while a change of +10% in credit spread volatility would result in an increase in the derivative asset of $ 81 . For the Prepayment Derivative asset in RMB Facility B, a change of -10% in credit spread volatility would result in a decrease in the derivative asset of $ 218 , while a change of +10% in credit spread volatility would result in an increase in the derivative asset of $ 224 . The Prepayment Derivative assets are included in Other assets and their fair values were $ 610 and $ 1,616 for RMB Facility A and RMB Facility B, respectively, as of March 31, 2024 and, $ 850 and $ 1,880 for RMB Facility A and RMB Facility B, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. The debt-host contracts are accounted for at amortized cost. Total debt issuance costs of appr oximately $ 1,000 were incurred. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 93 , respectively, of amortization of the original debt issuance costs and the refinancing fee to RMB.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 7,588 .
RMB Term Facility
On September 27, 2024, the Company, together with I.D. Systems and Movingdots, each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with RMB, pursuant to which RMB agreed to provide the Company with a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $ 125,000 (the “New RMB Term Facility”). The Company drew down the full amount of the New RMB Term Facility on October 1, 2024, and used the proceeds to pay a portion of the Purchase Price in connection with the FC Acquisition. The Company’s obligations under the New RMB Term Facility are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Company, I.D. Systems and Movingdots. The New RMB Term Facility is secured by a first priority security interest over the entire share capital of I.D. Systems, Movingdots, MS2000 and Canadian SPV, each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. No other assets of the Company will serve as collateral under the New RMB Term Facility.
The New RMB Term Facility will mature on the last business day of the month that is five years following the closing date of the Facility Agreement (the “Maturity Date”). The New RMB Term Facility does not amortize and will be payable on the Maturity Date. Borrowings under the New RMB Term Facility may be voluntarily prepaid at any time upon prior written notice, in whole or in part, subject to payment of a refinancing fee equal to (i) 2 % of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs before October 1, 2025, or (ii) 1 % of the amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or after October 1, 2025, but before October 1, 2026. No refinancing fee is payable if prepayment occurs on or after October 1, 2026. If voluntary prepayments are made in part, they must be made in minimum amounts of $ 5 million in integral multiples of $ 1 million. In addition, the Facility Agreement provides for certain customary mandatory prepayment requirements.
In the event of any prepayment during a quarterly interest period the Company is also required to pay, or receive from, RMB an amount, such that RMB would be in the same economic position for that interest period had the prepayment only occurred at the end of such period. The amount payable or receivable will be calculated relative to the interest that RMB would be able to obtain by placing the amount prepaid on deposit with a leading bank in the London interbank market for a period from the prepayment until the end of such interest period.
The New RMB Term Facility bears interest at 5 % per annum (provided no event of default is continuing), plus the applicable term SOFR reference rate (or an interpolated rate if SOFR is unavailable), payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 each year, and on October 31, 2029. The stated interest rate at March 31, 2025 was 9.59 %.
The Company paid a non-refundable deal structuring fee of $ 1,250 to RMB on October 1, 2024. Total debt issuance costs, including the $ 1,250 non-refundable deal structuring fee to RMB, of approximately $ 1,443 were incurred. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 113 of amortization of these costs and $ 5,946 of interest expense.
The Facility Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA and the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to consolidated total finance costs. The Facility Agreement also includes representations, warranties, events of default and other provisions customary for financings of this type. The occurrence of any event of default under the Facility Agreement may result in all outstanding indebtedness under the RMB Term Facility becoming immediately due and payable.

Dividends
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a minimum rate of 7.5 % per annum (calculated on the basis of the Series A Issue Price), quarterly in arrears. The dividends were payable at the Company’s election, in kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or in cash, provided no dividend payment failure had occurred and was continuing and that there had not previously occurred two or more dividend payment failures. Commencing on the 66-month anniversary of the date on which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued (the “Original Issuance Date”), and on each monthly anniversary thereafter, the dividend rate would increase by 100 basis points, until the dividend rate reached 17.5 % per annum, subject to the Company’s right to defer the increase for up to three consecutive months on terms set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”).

The unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax positions during the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2025, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward of approximately $ 83,930 for U.S. federal income tax purposes. At March 31, 2025, the Company had an aggregate NOL carryforward of approximately $ 37,775 for state income tax purposes and a foreign NOL carryforwards of approximately $ 101,519 . Substantially all of the NOL carryforwards expire from 2024 through 2037 for pre-2018 federal NOL carryforwards and from 2024 through 2044 for state purposes. The NOL carryforwards may be limited to use in any particular year based on Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), related to change of ownership restrictions. Section 382 of the IRC imposes an annual limitation on the utilization of NOL carryforwards based on long-term bond rates and the value of the corporation at the time of a change in ownership as defined by Section 382 of the IRC. In 2019 and 2024, the Company incurred a change in ownership under Section 382 of the IRC and this change of ownership is not expected to materially impact the Company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforward amounts in the future. In addition, future stock issuances may subject the Company to further limitations on the utilization of its NOL carryforwards under the same IRC provision.
At March 31, 2025, the Company has New Jersey NOL carryforwards included above in the approximate amount of $ 6,528 , expiring through 2044, which are available to reduce future earnings which would otherwise be subject to state income tax.
The Company is asserting permanent reinvestment of all accumulated undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025, in excess of annual debt service costs requirements.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s valuation allowance increased to $ 53,307 , compared to $ 46,532 as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase of NOLs and other timing differences. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of its domestic net deferred tax assets and the majority of the foreign net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was established because of the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to lack of sufficient history of generating taxable income. Realization is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the NOL carryforwards in future periods. The valuation allowance increased in 2025 by $ 6,775 .
Audits for federal income tax returns are closed for the years through 2020. However, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) can audit the NOLs generated during those years in the years that the NOLs are utilized. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to six years after the filing of the respective tax return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. Foreign income tax returns are generally subject to examination based on the tax laws of the respective jurisdictions.
NOTE 17 - LEASES
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for office space, office equipment and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 1 to 10 years.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance of lease commencement and
97
excludes lease incentives. The lease terms used in the calculations of the operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally not accounted for separately.
Where lease terms are 12 months or less, and meet the criteria for short-term lease classification, no ROU asset and no lease liability are recognized. Lease costs associated with the short-term leases are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters involving claims incidental to its business and acquisitions, including employment matters, acquisition-related claims, patent infringement and contractual matters, among other issues. While the outcome of any such litigation matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the outcome of these proceedings, including the matters described below, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company records reserves related to legal matters when losses related to such litigation or contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.
In July 2015, Pointer do Brasil Comercial Ltda. (“Pointer Brazil”) received a tax deficiency notice alleging that th e services provided by Pointer Brazil should be classified as “telecommunication services” and therefore Pointer Brazil should be subject to the state value-added tax. The aggregate amount claimed to be owed under the notice was approximately $ 6,890 as of March 31, 2025. On August 14, 2018, the lower chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court in São Paulo rendered a decision that was favorable to Pointer Brazil in relation to the ICMS demands, but adverse in regards to the clerical obligation of keeping in good order a set of ICMS books and related tax receipts. The remaining claim after this administrative decision is $ 197 . The state has appealed to the higher chamber of the State Tax Administrative Court. Based on the Company’s legal counsel ’ s opinion, management is of the opinion that the chance of loss is not probable and that no material costs will arise in respect of these claims. For this reason, the Company has not m ade any provision.
Mobile Telephone Networks Proprietary Limited (“MTN”), a network service provider of MiX Telematics Africa, a subsidiary of the Company, is entitled to claw back payments from MiX Telematics Africa in the event of early cancellation of the agreement or certain base connections not being maintained over the term of an amended network services agreement between the parties. No connection incentive s will be received in terms of the amended network services agreement. The maximum potential liability under the arrangement as of March 31, 2025 was $ 609 . No loss is consider ed probable under this arrangement.
On August 30, 2024, Fleet Connect Solutions LLC (“Fleet Connect”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of a number of Fleet Connect’s patents. The Company filed an answer to Fleet Connect’s complaint on November 8, 2024, denying the claims together with counterclaims to invalidate Fleet Connect’s patents. The Company simultaneously filed a Section 101 motion seeking to invalidate some of the patents. In addition, on February 11, 2025, Fleet Connect filed a second lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Texas. The Company then filed a similar motion under Section 101 challenging the validity of some of the patents involved in this lawsuit as well. The Company is evaluating the claims with patent counsel, however based on currently available information, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter.
