("t42" or the "Company")
t42 Business & Strategic Update
Board Change
t42 IoT Tracking Solutions plc (AIM: TRAC), a leading provider of global
shipping container tracking solutions, is pleased to provide a business and
strategic update for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 ("FY 2024") and
outlook for 2025.
Trading Update - FY 2024*
The Company expects to report total revenues for FY 2024 of approximately $4.0
million (2023: $4.0 million), including around $2.0 million in SaaS revenue,
representing approximately 50% of total revenue for the period (2023: 50%). We
are pleased to note that over 75% of 2024 revenues were generated from
products in the shipping container market.
While headline revenues remained consistent with 2023, the Company is now
seeing clear indicators of strong growth ahead. Increasing momentum in sales
of our flagship Lokies and Tetis technologies, along with other IoT offerings,
is expected to drive substantial performance improvements beginning in 2025.
* FY 2024 figures subject to completion of audit process
Operational Highlights & Market Momentum
t42 continued its strategic focus on the global shipping container market
throughout 2024. Shipments of Lokies more than doubled compared to the
previous year, and this trend has already extended into early 2025. Customers
are providing encouraging expectations for continued demand, particularly in
Latin America and the U.S., where t42 has been actively expanding its market
presence.
All contracts signed and announced during 2024 are progressing in their
deployment, albeit at a slightly slower pace than initially forecasted.
Nevertheless, they are expected to be completed within the agreed timeframe
and are anticipated to generate a greater impact throughout 2025. Customer
expectations remain on track to be fulfilled over the course of the respective
agreement periods. The only exception is the contract in Brazil announced on
13 May 2024, which may experience a minor delay due to ongoing commercial
developments; however, its first phase has already been completed.
The Kylos device was upgraded in both hardware and software during 2024, with
increased demand now observed in Latin America and Europe. Long-standing
customers are expanding into new markets, demonstrating the growing trust and
reliance on t42's solutions.
In fleet management, our Helios platform is finding success in niche
applications where our technological edge outperforms pricing concerns. A
major Latin American project, announced in December 2024, has positioned t42
as a national platform provider, with thousands of additional units projected
for deployment in 2025 and beyond.
At a strategic level, t42 continues to collaborate closely with global
shipping leaders to deliver tailored, innovative solutions. Despite sector
challenges, our resilience, market insight, and growing reputation position us
for transformative growth starting in 2025.
Strategic Outlook: From Reactive to Proactive Growth
Starting in 2025, t42 has undergone a fundamental shift-from passively
responding to market demands to actively pursuing strategic growth
opportunities. We are now positioning ourselves at the forefront of targeted
industries, forging high-value partnerships, and aligning our solutions with
the evolving needs of global customers.
This proactive approach is already delivering tangible results, with a growing
portfolio of high-impact projects and deeper integration with logistics and
infrastructure leaders worldwide.
Key Strategic Growth Targets for 2025 and Beyond
· Expansion into governmental fleet management programs offering
long-term revenue stability
· Multi-year, multi-million-dollar contracts with logistics and
cargo security market leaders
· Penetration into high-growth regions in Africa, South America,
and Western Europe
· Collaboration with AI and tech partners to deliver full-stack
intelligence and security solutions
· Increasing interest for Lokies and Helios M in sectors such as ATM
security, fuel station monitoring, and customs tracking
Our financial pipeline for 2025 and beyond includes several potential projects
and opportunities with annual revenue potential in the multi-million-dollar
range and we are committed to converting these opportunities into firm orders.
With long-term contracts secured, and an increasing demand for tailored IoT
solutions, t42 is well-positioned to accelerate and sustain growth across
multiple verticals.
Personnel Update -
VP Sales
t42 is pleased to have welcomed Shachar Rosiansky as the new Vice President of

across global markets. Since joining, Shachar has had a tangible impact with
several recent strategic wins and projects stemming from his proactive
approach, strong market connections, and execution. His marketing leadership
is expected to further accelerate t42's growth trajectory as we expand into
new geographies and sectors.
Board Change - Chief Financial Officer
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Igor Vatenmacher, has informed the Company of
his intention to step down from his position as CFO with immediate effect to
pursue an opportunity with a new company. The search for a replacement has
begun and in the interim Igor will remain on the Board in a non-executive
position to support the transition period. The Company will provide an update
in due course, once a new candidate has been identified.
Convertible Loan Notes

notes, which are due to mature on 20 May 2025, are progressing. Various

and we now look ahead with confidence to significant market opportunities. Our
continued investment in innovation, strategic partnerships, and global
