Cartrack: South Africa-based Global Provider of Telematics Solutions

Rudi van Niekerk of Desert Lion Capital presented his in-depth investment thesis on Cartrack (South Africa: CTK) at Best Ideas 2019.

Thesis summary:

Cartrack is a leading global provider of telematics solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service with best-in-industry returns on capital, strong growth trajectory operating in a large and growing addressable market, and high insider ownership — trading at a below-average valuation.

The company is listed in South Africa on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, which is fairly inefficient in price discovery outside the universe of the largest stocks.

Cartrack has a footprint in 24 countries and with 850,000+ subscribers it is positioned as a top ten global player. The company has been investing aggressively in R&D and capacity for growth ahead of the curve and is about to break through and capitalize on economies of scale in many markets.

Excellent financial characteristics: 93% annuity/recurring revenue with earnings clarity, 34% ROCE, 44% ROE, 100+% cash conversion.
