Highlights of the First Quarter of 2026

Management Comment

Eyal Sheratzky, Co-CEO of Ituran said, “We are pleased to report a strong start to 2026, with revenue crossing the $100 million milestone for the first time. Furthermore, our revenue, operating income, EBITDA and net income all grew year-over-year by double digits. Our strong revenue growth was driven by a 21% increase in subscription revenues to $75.4 million. During the quarter, we added 40,000 net subscribers, in line with expectations. The long-term success in growing our global subscriber base consistently is due to offerings of new products and services to existing customers while tapping into new segments and new markets.”

Mr. Sheratzky continued, “We continue to see solid performance across our core markets in Israel and Latin America, with ongoing traction in telematics services for motorcycles and financing products. Our OEM relationships remain a key growth driver, and we are advancing well with new initiatives including IturanMob, which has expanded into the United States market, our Big Data analytics offering, and Credit Carbon. We remain confident in our ability to deliver continued growth and profitability in 2026, and in our longer-term strategy to transform Ituran into a significantly larger company.”

First Quarter 2026 Results

Revenues for the quarter were $102.7 million, a 19% increase compared with $86.5 million in the first quarter of last year.

73% of revenues were from location-based service subscription fees, and 27% were from product revenues.

Revenues from subscription fees for the quarter were $75.4 million, an increase of 21% over the first quarter of last year.

The subscriber base expanded to 2,670,000 by the end of March 2026, marking a quarterly net increase of 40,000.

Subscriber growth in the quarter was driven by continued traction in our core stolen vehicle recovery and telematics businesses across Israel and Latin America.

Product revenues for the quarter were $27.3 million, a 12% increase year-over-year.

Gross profit for the quarter was $49.4 million (48.2% of revenues), an 18% increase compared with $42.0 million (48.6% of revenues) in the first quarter of last year.

Gross margin on subscription revenues improved to 58.8%, compared to 58.3% in Q1 last year. The gross margin on product revenues was 18.7%, compared to 23.6% last year. The variance in the product gross margin between quarters was due to the change in the product mix sold.

Operating income for the quarter was $22.1 million (21.5% of revenues), representing an 18% increase compared to $18.7 million (21.6% of revenues) in Q1 last year.

EBITDA for the quarter was $26.7 million (26.0% of revenues), up 15% from $23.3 million (26.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of last year.

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $16.8 million (16.3% of revenues), or diluted earnings per share of $0.85, an increase of 15% compared to $14.6 million (16.9% of revenues), or $0.73 per diluted share, in the first quarter of last year.

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $18.2 million.

On the balance sheet, as of March 31, 2026, the Company had net cash, including marketable securities, of $108.0 million. This is compared with net cash, including marketable securities, of $107.6 million, as of year-end last year. During the first quarter, Ituran paid a dividend to shareholders relating to the third quarter of last year, amounting to a total of $10 million.

Dividend

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $10 million for the quarter. The current dividend takes into account the Company’s continuing strong profitability, ongoing positive cash flow, and strong balance sheet.

Buy Back

The Board of Directors previously authorized a new $10 million increase to the Company’s existing share buy-back program. During the quarter $0.5 million in shares were purchased under the buy-back program. The total remaining authorization is $13.0 million. Share repurchases will be funded by available cash and will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18.
