Management Comment
Eyal Sheratzky, Co-CEO of Ituran, said, “2025 was a record year for Ituran marked by ongoing growth and continued improvements in profitability. We continued to add new subscribers at a high rate, bringing in 42,000 during the fourth quarter, leading to a record year of 221,000 net subscriber-adds, which includes those gained through our OEM deal with Stellantis at the start of 2025. Looking ahead, we expect to maintain our subscriber-add rate at 160,000-180,000 for 2026. The growth is driven by our long-term efforts in bringing customers new value-adding telematics and connected-car products and services.”
Mr. Sheratzky continued, “Given our success and strong cash generation, we announced a special dividend of $20 million and a new share buy-back program of $10 million, in addition to the regular dividend policy of $10 million per quarter. The dividends issued for 2025 represent a yield of 7% based on our year-end share price, and approximately 100% of our net income for the year. This signifies the importance we place on sharing the fruits of our ongoing success with our shareholders.”
Mr. Sheratzky added, “2026 started with strong momentum in our strategic partnerships. We are continuously working to add new partners to our growing OEM roster to drive further growth in our subscriber base. We recently announced a new agreement with Stellantis to launch the ‘Connect Fiat’ project in South America. This full end-to-end solution, spanning hardware, services, and the user app, reinforces our leadership in the region in providing telematics services to OEMs and their customers, and our ability to deliver fully integrated connectivity at scale.”
Concluded Mr. Sheratzky, “After several years of investment in developing new offerings and services that significantly expand our total addressable market, we expect to begin seeing the returns on these investments in 2026. In addition to Israel and Brazil, our first initiative, IturanMob, has expanded its operations into the United States market, where it targets small and mid-sized car rental companies, streamlining and significantly improving the vehicle rental process. The second is our Big Data initiative, which leverages the large volumes of data we collect and monetizes it by offering valuable insights to third parties. The third initiative, Credit Carbon, enables EV owners to monetize their low carbon footprint through Ituran’s advanced technological platform. I am very excited about these initiatives and strongly believe they have the potential to transform Ituran into a significantly larger company over the coming years.”
