Achieved record quarterly revenue exceeding $100 million for the first time, supported by 21% growth in subscription services. Expanded the Stellantis partnership through 'Connect Fiat' in South America, providing a fully integrated end-to-end connectivity solution for the Fiat Strada. Attributed a portion of the strong year-over-year growth to currency tailwinds, marking a shift after nearly a decade of foreign exchange headwinds. Maintained a steady organic growth run rate with 40,000 net new subscribers, demonstrating consistent execution across core Israeli and Brazilian markets. Leveraged a dominant 90% market share in Israel to pivot toward high-margin growth engines like big data and car rental telematics. Secured a strategic data agreement with Israel's Ministry of Transportation, validating the company's ability to monetize accumulated telematics data for government planning. Reiterated full-year 2026 guidance for net subscriber additions between 160,000 and 180,000. Anticipates that ongoing discussions with global OEMs will result in one to two new substantial agreements annually, following historical trends. Positions big data and the 'IturanMob' car rental solution as primary long-term growth engines to offset eventual saturation in core subscription markets. Expects more transportation data projects in Israel to mature in coming quarters as the company scales its B2B data-as-a-service model. Aims to lead the nascent U.S. car rental telematics market, though management acknowledges the sector is currently in a premature, 'market education' phase. Foreign exchange impact contributed approximately $1 million to EBIT compared to the prior year period. Maintained a consistent capital return strategy with a $10 million quarterly dividend and an active share buyback program with $13 million remaining authorization. Noted that while subscriber growth can be volatile quarter-to-quarter, the overall business model offers high visibility and stable recurring revenue. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management clarified that while FX was a tailwind this quarter, the underlying operational growth remains the primary driver of the record results. The EBIT benefit from currency fluctuations was approximately $1 million. The transportation ministry deal is structured as a B2B project rather than a per-subscriber fee, with potential for multi-year contracts and annual payments. Management declined to provide specific modeling guidance for data revenue but emphasized its role as a future 'cash cow' as core markets mature. The U.S. car rental solution is in early stages; management noted the market is currently underserved with very limited competition. The company is focusing on market education and lead generation following major industry demonstrations.
