A. OPERATING RESULTS
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and related notes and the information contained elsewhere in this annual report. Our
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject
to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “ITEM 3.D. Risk Factors”
and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
Outlook
We sell our services and products directly and through our subsidiaries and distributors
to several countries mainly Israel and Brazil. In 2025, we experienced increased revenue and growth in most of the markets in which
we provide our telematics services. These markets in which we operate, are generally characterized by high vehicle theft rates, and therefore
insurance companies and car manufactures are seeking solutions to reduce their losses resulting from car theft and at the same time increasing
their sales by adding additional value to the customer. Therefore, we believe the markets in which we operate, especially in Israel and
will continue to provide growth and demand for our telematics products and services.

Telematics services segment
We generate revenues from rendering our SVR, fleet management connected car, UBI and
other value-added services. A majority of our revenues represent subscription fees paid to us by our customers. We recognize revenues
from subscription fees on a monthly basis. Most of our customers are free to terminate their subscription at any time. In the absence
of such termination, the subscription term continues automatically. We also generate subscription fees from our fleet management services.
Assuming no additional growth in our subscriber base and based on our historical average churn rates of 3% per month in this segment,
we can anticipate that at least 90% of our subscription fees generated in a prior quarter will recur in the following quarter.
22
Telematics products segment
We generate revenues from sale of our telematics products to customers in Israel, Brazil,
and other regions which we operate. We currently sell or lease our telematics end-units in each of the above regions. Growth in our subscriber
base is the principal driver for the sale of our telematics products. We recognize revenues from sales of our telematics products upon
transfer of control to the customer (usually upon delivery).
Cost of revenues
Telematics services segment
The cost of revenues in our telematics services segment consists primarily of staffing,
maintenance and operation of our control centers and base stations, costs associated with our staff and costs incurred for private enforcement,
licenses, permits and royalties, as well as communication costs and costs due to depreciation of leased products and installation fees.
Cost of revenues for sales of our fleet management services also includes payments to a third party who markets our services.
Telematics products segment
The cost of revenues in our telematics products segment consists primarily of the cost
of unit of our manufacturers and costs associated with installation fees.
Operating expenses
Research and development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, costs of materials
and other overhead expenses, primarily in connection with the design and development of our telematics products and software solutions.
We expense some of our research and development costs as incurred. Subject to certain criteria we capitalize software development costs.
For further information see Note 1S to our consolidated financial statements.
Selling and marketing
Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising, salaries, commissions
and other employee expenses related to our selling and marketing team and promotional and public relations expenses.
General and administrative
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, accounting
and other general corporate expenses.
Operating Income
Telematics services segment
Operating income in our telematics services segment is primarily affected by increases
in our subscriber base and our ability to increase the resulting revenues without a commensurate increase in our corresponding costs.
Telematics products segment
Operating income in our telematics products segment is primarily affected by our ability
to increase sales of our telematics products.
Financing expenses (income), net
Financing income (expenses), net include, inter alia ,short-term
and long-term interest expenses, financial commissions, income (expenses) in respect of changes in obligation to purchase non-controlling
interests ,and gains (losses) from currency fluctuations from the translation of monetary balance sheet items denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency of each entity in the group, gains (losses) in respect of marketable securities and other investments,
and expenses related to tax positions.

23
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared as accordance with U.S. General
Accepted Principles ("GAAP") Certain of our accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on
a periodic basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, industry trends, authoritative pronouncements and various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such assumptions and estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.
On a regular basis we review the accounting policies assumptions and estimates to verify that our financial statements are in accordance
with GAAP and presented fairly.
The following are our most critical accounting policies and the significant judgments
and estimates affecting the application of those policies in our consolidated financial statements. For further information see Note 1
to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Revenue recognition
We and our subsidiaries generate revenue from subscriber fees for the provision of services
and sales of systems and products, mainly in respect of fleet management services, stolen vehicle recovery services and other value-added
services. To a lesser extent, revenues are also derived from technical support services. We and our subsidiaries sell the systems primarily
through their direct sales force and indirectly through resellers.
We apply ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
In accordance with ASC 606, we determine revenue recognition through the following five steps:
• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
• Determination of the transaction price;
• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
• Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
A contract with a customer exists when certain criteria are met.
For each type of contract, at inception, we assess the goods or service promised in
a contract with a customer and identifies the performance obligations. With respect to contracts that are determined to have multiple
performance obligations, such as contracts that combine product with services (mostly SVR services) and/or rights to use assets, we allocate
the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using it’s the best estimate of the relative standalone selling
price of each distinct good or service in the contract. However, when applicable (see below), we estimate the selling prices of
certain services using the residual approach. Revenues are recognized when, or as, control of services or products is transferred to the
customers at a point in time or over time, as applicable to each performance obligation.
Revenues are recorded in the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled
in exchange for performance obligations upon transfer of control to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of other third
parties and sales taxes.
Our credit terms to customers are, on average, between thirty and ninety days.
We do not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing
component since we expect, at most contracts' inception, that the period between the time of transfer of the promised goods or services
to the customer and the time the customer pays for these goods or services to be generally one year or less, based on the practical expedient.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company’s revenues are recognized depending on
the various products and services as follows:
1. Revenues from sales of Automatic Vehicle Location ("AVL") products are recognized when the control of the product passed to the customer, usually upon delivery.
2. Revenues from provision of SVR services are recognized over time, as the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company performance as the Company performs.
24
3. For arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products (mostly AVL products), services (such as SVR services) and/or rights to use assets, the Company analyzes whether the goods or services that were promised to the customer are distinct (i.e., if both are met: 1. The customer can benefit from the good or service, either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available; and, 2. The Company’s promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract). If we determine that the product or service is 'distinct' we apply the policy described in 1 or 2 above, as applicable.
We have some arrangements that are determined to have multiple performance obligations
that are distinct. For such arrangements, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the
relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. However, in limited circumstances, we estimate the
selling prices of the SVR services (which are sold together with AVL products) using the residual approach. Under the residual approach,
the standalone selling price of the SVR services was estimated by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable
standalone selling prices of all other goods or services promised in the contract. We use this approach since we sold the same type of
service in these jurisdictions to different customers (at or near the same time) for a broad range of amounts (thus, the stand-alone selling
price was highly variable).
4. Revenues from SVR services subscription fees and from installation services (related to AVL products that remain as the Company's property), sold to customers within a single arrangement were accounted for revenue recognition purposes, on a combined basis as a single performance obligation, since the installation services element was determined not to be ‘distinct’. Therefore, the entire contract fee was recognized over time, on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.
5. With regards to amounts earned by certain Brazilian subsidiary for arranging a bundle transaction of SVR services subscription together with insurance services to be supplied by a third party insurance company, these revenues are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the subscription period , since the amount allocated to us (for the SVR services subscription, and for arranging the transaction), is contingent upon the delivery of the SVR services. As the insurance company is acting as a principal with respect to the insurance component, we recognize only the net amounts as revenues, after deduction of amounts related to the insurance component.
6. Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received from customers (mostly for future subscription services and extended warranty) but not yet recognized as revenues. Such deferred revenues are recognized as described in paragraph 2 above or paragraph "extended warranty" below, as applicable.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company recognized revenue of
approximately US$ 22.8 million and US$ 27.1 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance
at the beginning of each reporting period.
As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the amounts allocated to remaining
unsatisfied performance obligations (deferred revenue) that the Company expects to recognize as revenue in future periods is $42.1 million
of which, $27.2 million (64.6%) is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months (and presented as short-term balance), and
the remainder amount of $14.9 million (35.4%) is expected to be recognized through 2027.
Extended warranty - In the majority of countries, in which we operate, the statutory
warranty period is one year, and the extended warranty covers periods beyond year one. Revenues from extended warranty include warranty
services which were sold separately for a monthly fee, or warranty services that were determined to represent a separate performance obligation
and were sold together with an AVL unit. Such revenues are recognized over the duration of the warranty periods.
25
Contingencies
We and our subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings
that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business and in connection with certain agreements with third parties. Except
for income tax contingencies, we record accruals for contingencies to the extent that the management concludes that the occurrence is
probable and that the related liabilities are estimable. Legal expenses associated with contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for in accordance with the "purchase method" and is allocated to reporting units
at acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicates that amount of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other". The annual goodwill assessment is performed as of December 31, each year.
As required by ASC Topic 350, the Company chooses either to perform a qualitative
assessment whether the quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary or proceeds directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment
test. Such determination is made for each reporting unit on a stand-alone basis. The qualitative assessment includes various factors
such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, earnings multiples,
gross margin and cash flows from operating activities and other relevant factors. When the Company chooses to perform a qualitative assessment
and determines that it is more likely than not (more than 50 percent likelihood) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than
its carrying value, then the Company proceeds to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the Company determines otherwise, no further
evaluation is necessary.
When the Company decides or is required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment
test, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount
by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. Management determines the fair value of its reporting
units using the income approach. Within the income approach, the method that is generally used to measure the fair value of a reporting
unit is the discounted cash flow method. Management starts with a forecast of the expected net cash flows associated with the reporting
unit, which includes the application of a terminal growth rate, and applies a discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Cash
flow projections are based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry
and market conditions. In the performance of the quantitative analysis the Company applies assumptions that market participants would
consider in determining the fair value of each reporting unit.
As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company had four reporting units which
include goodwill.
Telematics services:
Under the telematics services segment there are two reporting units
with goodwill. For one of which with an allocated amount of approximately US$ 1.9 million of goodwill, the Company performed a qualitative
assessment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and concluded that the qualitative assessment did not result in a more likely than not
indication of impairment, and therefore no further impairment testing was required, with respect to such unit.
For the second reporting unit (resulted from RT acquisition) with
an allocated amount of approximately US$ 32.3 million of goodwill (as of December 31, 2025), the Company performed the annual impairment
test, as of December 31, 2025 using a quantitative assessment and reached to a conclusion that no impairment should be recorded at that
point. The impairment test was performed using the income approach. The measurement of fair value of reporting units as part of goodwill
impairment analysis is classified within Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
26
Telematics products:
Under the telematics products segment there are two reporting units
with goodwill, for one of which with an allocated amount of approximately US$ 2.2 million of goodwill, the Company performed a qualitative
assessment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and concluded that the qualitative assessment did not result in a more likely than not
indication of impairment, and therefore no further impairment testing was required, with respect to such unit.
For the second reporting unit (resulted from RT acquisition)
with an allocated amount of approximately US$ 3.5 million of goodwill (as of December 31, 2025), the Company performed the annual impairment
test, as of December 31, 2025, using a quantitative assessment and reached to a conclusion that no impairment should be recorded at that
point. The impairment test was performed using the income approach. The measurement of fair value of reporting units as part of goodwill
impairment analysis is classified within Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Exchange differences upon conversion from our functional currency to dollars (presentation
currency) are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income under stockholders’ equity. In the year
2025, accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $ 18.3 million. In the year 2024, accumulated other comprehensive income decreased
by $12.4 million. In the year 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $0.8 million.
The fluctuation of the other currencies in which we incur our expenses or generate revenues
against the dollar has had the effect of increasing or decreasing (as applicable) reported revenues, cost of revenues and operating expenses
in such foreign currencies when converted into dollars from period to period. The following table illustrates the effect of the changes
in exchange rates on our revenues, gross profit and operating income for the periods indicated (each for December 31):
Year ended December 31,
2023 2024 2025
Actual At 2022 exchange rates (1) Actual At 2023 exchange rates (1) Actual At 2024 exchange rates
Revenues 319,978 329,420 336,257 344,146 359,023 350,084
Gross profit 153,161 158,291 160,620 163,895 178,577 173,866

Based on average exchange rates during the
period. Those columns are Non-GAAP information.
Our policy remains to reduce exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by entering into
foreign currency forward transactions that mainly qualify as hedging transactions under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives
and Hedging”, the results of which are reflected in our income statements as revenues or cost of revenues. The result of
these transactions, which are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, could cause our revenues, cost of revenues, gross profit and
operating income to fluctuate.

In Ecuador, there are two unique Laws which are relevant to our activities:
1. Remittance tax (Impuesto a la Salida de Divisas) - Remittance tax of 5% is imposed on the transfer of money abroad in cash or through pay checks, transfers, or courier of any nature carried out with or without the mediation of the Ecuadorian financial system, including transfer from foreign bank accounts. Dividends are exempt from this tax, under certain considerations.
2. Labor profit sharing - Although it is not considered a tax, companies are obligated to pay 15% of their pre-tax earnings to their employees. This payment is considered a deductible expense for CIT computation purposes.
In Mexico, All Mexican employers, whether individuals or entities, are required to calculate
and pay mandatory profit- sharing payments to employees within 60 days following the filing of their annual Mexican tax return. The obligation
for employers to make such payments is based on the legal provisions in Section IX of Article 123 of the Political Constitution of the
United Mexican States, which establishes that employees shall have the right to participate in their employer’s profits in the amount
of 10% of such employer’s taxable income. As such, the following types of employees have the right to receive profit sharing payments:
(a) permanent employees hired to carry out normal, long-term work for an employer, without regard to the number of days worked during
the January 1 through December 31, 2019 fiscal year; (b) eventual permanent employees who have worked for an employer fewer than 60 days,
whether continuously or sporadically, during the fiscal year referred to above; (c) former employees who have the right to claim profit
sharing payments, when such rights have not lapsed.

During 2025, Messrs. Izzy Sheratzky, Eyal Sheratzky, Nir Sheratzky
and Gil Sheratzky provided their services as President, Co-Chief Executive Officers and CEO of our Subsidiary & International Activity
and Business Development Officer respectively, as independent contractors pursuant to services agreements, which were adopted by our shareholders

38
For further details concerning such terms of service, please
see Item 7.B – Related Parties Transactions under the caption “Transactions with our directors and principal officers.”
In 2006, our compensation committee has devised a bonus scheme pursuant to which some
of our officers and employees received shares of our profit before tax on a consolidated basis, based on their seniority, level of global
and domestic involvement, contribution to our operations and other criteria set by the compensation committee. In 2010, our compensation
committee resolved that additional managers shall be entitled to receive bonuses under this bonus scheme and that some of the grantees
should continue to receive a bonus based on our consolidated results and some should receive a bonus based only on our solo financial
statements. During 2025, we paid a total of $ 1,657,000 to our officers and employees pursuant to the above bonus schemes.
Our compensation policy for office holders
In December 2012, amendment no. 20 to the Israeli Companies Law became effective. Among
other things, this amendment requires Israeli public companies to set forth their policy regarding their office holders’ terms of
office, including fixed compensation, target-based incentives, equity awards, severance and other benefits. The amendments also set forth
the considerations that should be applied when devising a compensation policy for office holders.
The term “office holder” is defined in the Israeli Companies Law, to mean
the chief executive officer, chief business officer, deputy chief executive officer, vice chief executive officer, any other person fulfilling
such position even if his title is different, as well as a director or a manager directly subordinate to the chief executive officer.
The compensation policy must be approved every three years by the board of directors,
after considering the recommendations of the compensation committee; and generally requires the approval of the company’s general
meeting of shareholders by a special majority of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest
in the approval of the policy; or, alternatively, that the non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest
in the matter who are present and vote against the policy hold two percent or less of the voting power of the company.
The compensation policy does not intend to amend any officer’s existing terms
of office; nor to bestow any officer with a right to receive the compensation, or any element thereof set forth therein. However, generally,
once the compensation policy is approved, all future terms of service of office holders should conform to its provisions. The specific
terms of office of each officer shall be separately determined in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Israeli Companies Law
and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Our general shareholders meeting approved our compensation policy for office holders
on October 31, 2013, and on November 7, 2016, and recently on December 12, 2025 approved a renewal of the compensation policy with another
amendment raising the the maximum annual cost of base pay and benefits for business unit managers approved on March 31, 2026. The
policy applies to office holders of the Company (see definition above), who serve as the Company’s President, Chief Executive
Officer(s) and other executives who are deemed office holders of the Company, as well as office holders of the Company’s Israeli
wholly owned subsidiaries, provided they report to the chief executive officer. The policy also applies to directors of the Company.
Our compensation policy for office holders was formulated in view of our belief that
our business success is the result of the excellence of our human resources and their devotion to the achievement of our company’s
goals. Therefore, it is aimed at offering our officers with a competitive compensation package that will align their incentives with those
of our company and our shareholders, and at motivating them to achieve the goals of our company, while avoiding undue pressure to take
excessive risks. Among other factors, our compensation committee and board of directors have considered, as required by amendment no.
20 to the Israeli Companies Law and as reflected in the policy: (a) the advancement of the company’s goals, its business plan and
its policy with a long-term view; (b) the creation of appropriate incentives for office holders, considering the company’s risk
management policy; (c) the size of the company and the nature of its business; (d) with respect to variable components of the terms of
office – the contribution of the office holders to the achievement of the company’s goals and to the maximization of its profits,
with a long-term view and in accordance with the position of the office holder.
The compensation policy incorporates all matters required to be included in a compensation
policy as mandated by amendment 20 to the Israeli Companies Law, including (without limitation): (a) the requirement to consider the office
holders’ education, skills, professional experience, expertise, position and past compensation agreements; (b) consideration of
the ratios between overall compensation of the officers and the average and median salary of the other employees of the Company; (c) the
board’s right to reduce variable compensation; (d) the determination of a maximum period for advanced and transition periods upon
termination of services; (e) basing variable components of compensation on key performance indicators and on measurable criteria; (f)
determining the ratio between fixed and variable components of compensation and setting forth caps on the amount of variable compensation
payable; and (g) a claw-back provision with respect to restatements of financial statements.

C. BOARD PRACTICES
Board of Directors
Pursuant to our articles of association as presently in effect, our board of directors
generally consists of twelve directors, including at least three independent directors in accordance with the listing rules of Nasdaq
concerning the composition of audit committees, of whom two directors are external directors as required by Israeli law. Our independent
directors, as such term is defined under the Nasdaq listing rules, are Mr. Baron, Mrs. Riki Segev , Mr. Koren, Mr. Yoav Kahane and Ms.
Tal Sheratzky - Jaffa, Pursuant to our articles of association, other than the external directors, for whom special election requirements
apply (see “External directors” below), our directors are elected, by majority of our shareholders and may be removed by special
majority. However, see Item 6.A – Directors and Senior Management for a description of our staggered board and the shareholders
agreement and articles of association of Moked Ituran Ltd. Our board of directors may at any time and from time to time appoint any other
person as a director to fill a vacancy until the general meeting of shareholders in which the term of service of the replaced director
was scheduled to expire.
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, our chairman convenes and presides over the meetings
of the board. In addition, any two directors may convene a meeting of the board of directors, as well as a director who becomes aware
of a company’s matter that allegedly involves a breach of the law or an improper business conduct. A quorum consists of a majority
of the members of the board, and decisions are taken by a vote of the majority of the members present. Our articles of association provide
that such quorum will in no event be less than two directors.
We are incorporated in Israel and are therefore subject to the provisions of the Israeli
Companies Law, including certain corporate governance provisions. Our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (Our
shares were delisted from the Tel Aviv stock exchange on May 25, 2016, for additional information see Item 9.A – Price History of
Our Shares), and we are therefore subject to certain provisions of the Israeli securities laws, the U.S. securities laws and the Nasdaq
listing rules. See also Item 16.G. – Corporate Governance below for additional information concerning our compliance with the Nasdaq
listing rules and exemptions therefrom.
According to our Articles of Association, some of our officers and employees (including
the chairman of our board and at least one third member of the Board) should be citizens and residents of Israel and receive clearance
approval from the Israeli General Security Service. All the members of our board comply with these requirements.
On February 26, 2017 our board has adopted an Internal Compliance policy, which following
review of our internal process included a comprehensive update of our internal regulations and codification of our internal regulations,
all pursuant to the applicable Israeli laws. On August 28, 2022 our board adopted a revised internal compliance policy.
External directors
Under Israeli law, the board of directors of companies whose shares are publicly traded
are required to include at least two members who qualify as external directors. External directors are to be elected by a majority vote
at a shareholders’ meeting, provided that either:
■ Such majority includes at least the majority of the shares held by all non-controlling shareholders or those having personal interest in the nomination, except personal interest which is not resulting from connections with controlling shareholders, present and voting at such meeting; or
■ The total number of shares voted against the election of the external director and held by shareholders other than controlling shareholders or those having personal interest in the nomination, except personal interest which is not resulting from connections with controlling shareholders, must not exceed 2% of the shares whose holders are entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders.
External directors are generally elected to serve an initial term of three years and
may be re-elected to serve in that capacity for two additional three-year terms; however, companies whose securities are listed on recognized
foreign exchanges, such as Nasdaq, may extend the service terms of their external directors for additional unlimited terms, each of no
more of than three years , subject to the approval of the audit committee and the board of directors that such extension is for the benefit
of the company in view of the directors’ expertise and special contribution to the operation of the board and its committees and
these reasons together with the term served by the external director were presented to the shareholders prior to their approval (see the
Israeli Companies Regulations (Allowances for Companies with Securities Listed on an Exchange Outside Israel), 2000-5760). The appointment
of an external director for additional terms may be brought for the approval of the shareholders either by the board of directors or by
a shareholder that holds at least 1% of the company’s voting rights, provided that the nominee is not a related or competing shareholder
(as defined below) or a relative thereof, at the time of the appointment, and does not have an affinity to such shareholder (as defined
below) at the time of the appointment or the two years preceding such appointment. The term “related or competing shareholder”
means the shareholder who proposed the appointment or a 5% shareholder of the company if, at the time of the appointment, his controlling
person or a company controlled by either of them, has business relations with the company, or if he, his controlling person or a company
controlled by either of them are competitors of the company. The term “affinity” means the on-going existence of work relationship,
business or professional relationship or control and the service as an officer.
40
External directors may generally be removed from office by the same majority of shareholders
required for their election or by a court, in each case, only under limited circumstances, including if they cease to meet the statutory
qualification for their appointment or violate the duty of loyalty to the company.
If at the time of the appointment of an external director, all directors who are not
controlling persons or their relatives are of the same gender, then the elected external director must be of the other gender.
Each committee of the board of directors that is vested with an authority of the board
must include at least one external director, except that the audit committee and compensation committee must include all external directors
then serving on the board of directors. The Israeli Companies Law prohibits external directors from receiving, directly or indirectly,
any compensation other than for services as an external director pursuant to the provisions and limitations set forth in the applicable
regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law.
Israeli law provides that a person is not qualified to serve as an external director
if he is a relative (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) of the company’s controlling person, or if, at the time of his/her
appointment and/or at any time during the two years preceding his or her appointment, that person, a relative, partner or employer of
that person, or any entity under that person’s control, has or has had an affinity (as defined above) to the company, its controlling
person or its relative or to any entity that, as of the date of appointment, or at any time during the two years preceding that date,
is controlled by the company or by its controlling person. In addition, no person may serve as an external director if that person’s
professional activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with that person’s responsibilities as a director or otherwise
interfere with that person’s ability to serve as a director; and, a person already serving as a director of one company may not
be appointed as an external director of the company if at that time a director of the company is serving as an external director of the
first company. In addition, a company, controlling shareholder and any other entity controlled by the controlling shareholder may not
grant to such external director, its spouse or child, any benefits, directly or indirectly, and the external director, its spouse or child
may not be appointed to serve in any position, may not be employed by and may not, directly or indirectly, render any professional services
to the company, such controlling shareholder or any other entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, during the first two years
following such external director’s termination of tenure of office, and with respect to a relative who is not the external director’s
spouse or child – during the first year following such termination.
Mr. Israel Baron is now serving his seventh term as an external director of the Company,
who was re-elected on of November 30, 2023 for a term of 3 years. Mrs. Riki Segev was elected on December 16, 2025 after the demise of
Mr. Gideon Kotler, our former external director.
Audit committee
Under Israeli law, the board of directors of a public company must appoint an audit
committee. The audit committee must comprise of at least three directors, including all of the external directors and the chairman of
the audit committee must be an external director. In addition, the majority of the members of the audit committee must be independent
directors. Under the Israeli Companies Law, a director is considered “independent” if he/she is an external director or if
he/she meets the qualifications of an external director, has not served as a director of the company for over 9 consecutive years, and
has been classified as such. Under Israeli regulations a director who serves more than 9 consecutive years as a director may still be
deemed as "independent director" provided the Audit committee and thereafter the board of directors resolved that his-her tenure as a
director for an extend term is for the benefit of the company based on his/her expertise and unique contribution to the board and its
committees. Our Audit committee and board of directors so resolved with regard to Mr. Israel Baron. The audit committee may not include
the chairman of the board, any director who is employed by the company or regularly provides services to the company (other than as a
board member), a controlling shareholder or any relative of such person. All audit committee decisions must be approved by a majority
of the committee members of which the majority of members present are independent directors. Furthermore, a person who is not eligible
to serve on the audit committee is restricted from participating in its meetings and votes, unless the chairman of the audit committee
determines that such person’s presence is necessary in order to present a certain matter, provided however, that the company employees
who are not controlling shareholders or relatives of such shareholders may be present in the meetings but not in the actual votes and
likewise, company counsel and secretary who are not controlling shareholders or relatives of such shareholders may be present in meetings
and decisions of such present is requested by the audit committee.
41
Our audit committee must also meet the requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules concerning
audit committees.
Our board of directors has formed an audit committee that is empowered, among other
things, to exercise the powers of the board of directors concerning our accounting, reporting and financial control practices. Our audit
committee operates in accordance with a charter, which complies with the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and the Nasdaq listing
rules. The members of the audit committee are currently Messrs. Israel Baron, Mrs. Riki Segev and Yoav Kahane, all of whom are independent
as required of members of the audit committee under the Nasdaq listing rules. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Israel Baron
possesses financial sophistication as required by Rule 5605(c)(2) under the Nasdaq listing rules, and that Mr. Baron possess accounting
and financial expertise as defined by Israeli regulations.
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Regulations (Provisions and Conditions regarding the
Financial Statements’ Authorization Process), 2010, a reporting entity, except for a reporting entity that is subject to Chapter
E(3) of the Israeli Securities Act, is required to establish a committee of the board of directors for the examination of financial statements.
Since we are a reporting entity under Chapter E(3), we are not obliged to constitute a committee for the examination of financial statements;
and therefore, commencing with the financial statements for the first quarter of 2013, we ceased holding meetings of the examination of
financial statements committee; and instead, our audit committee considers the financial statements prior to their approval by the board.
Pursuant to the 22nd amendment
in the Israeli Company law, which was set to define new rules to approve transaction of the public company with its controlling shareholders,
or the transaction in which the controlling shareholder has interest. The law requires from our Audit committee to set up rules to define
the criteria for classification of transactions, which are neither Insignificant Transactions nor extraordinary transactions, and their
procedures of approval that will be determined per each year in advance. In addition, the law requires from the Audit Committee to set
methods of examining transactions with the controlling shareholders, in order to enable their classification and their comparison to the
conditions in the free market. The Audit Committee resolved on September 29, 2014 as follows:
1. Transaction that is neither extraordinary, nor insignificant.
Definition: the relevant criteria that is calculated for the transaction is such transaction
which is higher than 0.25% of the equity of the company according to its last combined financial reports, or higher than 1% of average
net revenue of the past 3 years of the company in their absolute value, in the last 2 calendar years prior to the date of the transaction
is being reported according the last financial report of the company.
Methods of approval: approval by the senior management of the company (from vice chief
executive officer and higher) and report to the Board. The following transactions will require also the approval of the Audit Committee:
(1) Transaction which is higher than 4.5% of the equity of the company according to its last combined financial reports which were published prior to the approval of the transaction.
(2) Transaction that involves risks or significant exposure beyond mere monetary liabilities or obligations.
(3) Transaction in which the company enters a new activity field or exits from an existing activity field.
2. Insignificant transaction:
Definition: such transaction which is not higher than 0.25% of the equity of the company
according to its last combined financial reports or is not higher than 1% of average net revenue of the past 3 years of the company in
their absolute value, in the last 2 calendar years prior to the date of the transaction is being reported according to the last financial
report of the company.
Methods of approval: Approval by the management of the company or by the officer in
charge in the company (vice chief executive officer, other officer or other in charged body in the company according to the decisions
of the company).
42
3. General rules:
(1) Any transaction with a controlling shareholder or any transaction that a controlling shareholder has an interest in, will be brought before the Audit Committee, which will determine its type and decide on case by case basis on defining it as an insignificant transaction or other kind of transaction, and will decide on its review and on its approval.
(2) According to the adopted criteria, transactions with Rinat Yogev Nadlan Ltd. shall be classified as insignificant transactions. If the extent of such transactions will remain similar during the following years, our management shall be deemed qualified to approve such transactions and to report them to the Audit Committee.
(3) Every year the criteria for classifying transactions as set up above shall be brought for re-approval by the Audit Committee.
Compensation committee
The Israeli Companies Law mandates the appointment of a compensation committee comprising
of at least three directors. The compensation committee must include all of the external directors, who shall constitute the majority
of the members thereof, and its remaining members shall be directors whose terms of service comply with the provisions promulgated concerning
the remuneration of external directors. The chairman of the committee must be an external director. The members of the Compensation committee
are currently Israel Baron, Riki Segev and Yoav Kahane. All members of our compensation committee are independent directors as defined
by the Nasdaq listing rules, and all of whom meet the composition requirements under the Israeli Companies Law. Since February 2016, the
Israeli Companies Law permits that Audit Committee can serve also as a Compensation committee, provided that it will comply with requirements
of the Compensation Committee as explained above.
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the compensation committee is responsible for: (i)
making recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the approval of the compensation policy for office holders and any extensions
thereto; (ii) periodically reviewing the implementation of the compensation policy and providing the board of directors with recommendations
with respect to any amendments or updates thereto; (iii) reviewing and resolving whether or not to approve arrangements with respect to
the terms of office of office holders; and (iv) determining whether or not to exempt a transaction with a candidate for chief executive
officer from shareholders' approval.
Furthermore, our compensation committee oversees, on behalf of the Board, the management
of Ituran’s compensation and other human resources-related issues and otherwise carries out on behalf of the Board its responsibilities
relating to these issues. The committee is responsible for establishing annual and long-term performance goals and objectives for our
executive officers. In addition, as required under the Nasdaq listing rules, our compensation committee is responsible for the appointment,
compensation and oversight of the work of any compensation consultant, legal counsel and other adviser retained by the committee; and
may retain such advice only after taking into account the considerations set forth in the Nasdaq listing rules in this respect. Our compensation
committee operates in accordance with a charter, which complies with the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law and the Nasdaq listing
rules.
According to our compensation committee charter, the compensation committee, among its
other duties, is responsible on reviewing the disclosure in this form which concerns the Compensation Policy and the sections describing
the Terms of Service of Officers, controlling persons and their relatives.
Internal auditor
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company must appoint
an internal auditor nominated by the audit committee. An internal auditor may not be:
■ a person (or a relative of a person) who holds more than 5% of the company’s shares or voting rights;
■ a person (or a relative of a person) who has the power to appoint a director or the general manager of the company;
■ an executive officer, director or other affiliate of the company; or
■ a member of the company’s independent accounting firm.
The role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other things, the compliance of
the company’s conduct with applicable law and orderly business procedures. Our internal auditor in 2020 was Shimon Yarel, CPA,
who has served as our internal auditor since January 1999. In March , 2026, the audit committee and subject to the approval of the
board of directors approved the appointment of BDO-Ziv Haft instead of Mrs. Alexandra Meron Yarel as an internal auditor .

Total 2,917 2,892 2,841
We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory and have no ongoing
major labor disputes or material labor-related litigation. Our employees are subject to local labor laws and regulations, which in some
countries are more stringent than others. Some of our senior executives also have employment agreements that may grant them rights in
excess of those provided by the applicable laws.
Israel
Our employees in Israel are subject to Israeli labor laws and regulations and employment
customs. The applicable labor laws and regulations principally concern matters such as paid annual vacation, paid sick days, length of
the workday, payment for overtime and severance pay. Israeli law generally requires severance pay equal to one month’s salary for
each year of employment upon retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment without cause. Furthermore, Israeli employees
and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance Institute, which is similar to the United States Social
Security Administration. Since January 1, 1995, these amounts also include payments for national health insurance.
Israeli labor laws impose on employers increased liability, including monetary sanctions
and criminal liability, in cases of violations of certain labor laws and certain violations by contractors providing maintenance, security
and cleaning services.
44
Brazil
Our employment agreements in Brazil are subject to Brazilian labor laws and regulations,
to collective labor agreements or bargaining arrangements with unions and contract. The laws and regulations in Brazil govern almost all
aspects of an employment relationship and do not leave much room to be negotiated with the employee. Still, employment contracts create
obligations to the parties if they are in compliance with the law. The Labor Code mainly governs the employees’ right to paid annual
vacation, paid sick days, the maximum length of a workday, minimum payment for overtime and statutory severance pay. Brazilian law generally
requires severance pay equal to 40% of the balance of the employee’s FGTS account (a mandatory fund to guarantee severance and unemployment).
The FGTS can also be withdrawn when the employee retires, dies or his employment is terminated without cause, among others. Brazilian
employers are required to purchase health insurance for employees only in the event it is set forth by the applicable collective labor
agreement, contract or company policy, and are required to cover employees’ food and travel costs whenever a business trip is required,
and to make deposits into a Guarantee Severance Fund (the so-called “FGTS”). Furthermore, Brazilian employees and employers
are required to make contributions to the National Insurance Institute (“INSS”), similar to the United States Social Security
Administration. Our collections to the National Insurance Institute amount to 34.8% to 39.8% of the payrolls, out of which 8% to 11% (limited
to R$7,087.22 of individual salary) corresponds to contributions by the employees deducted from salaries and 26.8% is the fixed part we
pay. Our contribution of 26.8% includes mandatory contribution to the Public Insurance for Labor Accidents and Diseases (SAT). According
to Decree Law 6957/2009 such portion, which varies from 1% to 3% of payroll, should be multiplied by another factor (FAP) from 0.5 to
2 in order to reduce or increase our burden to reflect statistics of occupational accidents and diseases in our business.
All of our employees in Brazil, excluding the chief executive officer, some directors
(VPs) and some IT providers are represented by a labor union and the employees’ mandatory contributions to their union are paid
by us. The law no. 13.467/2017, which entered into force on November 11, 2017, made the labor union contribution optional (i.e., discounted
only upon the employees’ consent).
Argentina
Our employees in Argentina are subject to Argentine labor laws and regulations and other
special practices and employment customs. The laws and regulations in Argentina control all aspects of labor relations and designate a
general Employment Contract with which all employees and employers must comply. This general Employment Contract adopts by reference the
provisions of the Labor Law which principally concerns matters such as paid annual vacation, paid sick days, the length of the workday,
and payment for overtime and severance pay.
Argentine law generally requires severance pay equal to one month per year of service
upon the termination of employment without a justified cause.
Argentine employers are also required to contribute for the following items: (a) Pension
funds 20.70 % (b) health insurance for employees 6% (c) occupational accident insurance 2.03% for January to February 2024 and 1,72% from
March to December 2024; and (d) Retirement fund insurance 2.5% (only this item is for Union Employees). All the rates should be applied
on the gross salary.
Our employees in Argentina, excluding the chief executive officer and several other
employees, are members of a labor union and the employee member fees are paid by them.
United States
We have no collective bargaining agreements with any of our employees in the United
States and none of our employees are members of a union.
Mexico
The hiring of employees in Mexico is subject to the regulations
of the Federal Labor Law, the Social Security Law, the Infonavit Law, the Income Tax Law, Afore, and Infonacot In these laws both workers
and employers have obligations and rights; the percentage corresponding to the employer is 40% in Payroll and Employee Tax depending on
their level of income. The working relationship between employer and employee is regulated by the Individual work contract In Mexico we
have several modalities of types of Labor Contract, according to the permanence and type of contract, example: Contract for a Determined
Time, Permanent Contract, and Contract for Determined Work. In these Contracts the conditions of the work are specified. Within our company
we also have working relationships through outsourcing, where our employees have the same rights and obligations and adhere to the same
internal and legal guidelines. Contract terminations without cause by the employer require the payment of 3 months' salary as a concept
of damages.
Ecuador
Our employees in Ecuador are subject by the Ecuadorian Labor Code.
The Labor Code provides for a 40-hour work week, 15 calendar days of annual paid vacation, restrictions and sanctions for those who employ
child labor, general protection of worker health and safety, minimum wages and bonuses, maternity and paternity leave, and employer-provided
benefits. The 2008 Constitution bans child labor, requires hiring workers with disabilities, and unpaid internships are not permitted
in Ecuador. The law also mandates that employees’ thirteenth and fourteenth month bonuses, which are required by law, be paid in
instalments throughout the year instead of in lump sums. Employees have the option to opt out of this change and continue to receive the
payments in lump sums. The law eliminates fixed-term employee contracts and replaced them with indefinite contracts, which shortens the
allowable trial period for employees to 90 days. The Law for Labor Justice and Recognition of Work in the Home, which included several
changes related to labor and social security, took effect in April 2015. Workers in the private sector have the constitutional right to
form trade unions and local law allows for unionization of any company with more than 30 employees. Private employers are required to
engage in collective bargaining with recognized unions. The Labor Code provides for resolution of union´s conflicts through
a tripartite arbitration and conciliation board process. The Code also prohibits discrimination against union members and requires that
employers provide space for union activities.
45
Colombia
Our employees in Colombia are subject to Colombian labor laws and regulations. All employees
have an indefinite term employment contract and the law determines a minimum monthly salary (SMM), which is increased annually by the
government and used to calculate labor obligations. 44 hours are the maximum hours for a week. All employees are affiliated with the Social
Security System (Health, Pension and Occupational Risks), a percentage is paid by the company and the other by the employee, the calculation
depends on the salary. The law determines additional benefits called social benefits payable by the company: Holidays: 15 working days
for each year worked; Bonus premium corresponds to the payment of 15 days of salary per semester worked or fraction; Unemployment corresponds
to the payment of 30 days of salary per year worked or fraction; Unemployment interest corresponds to 12% of severance pay; Employees
who earn less than 2 SMM must be given 3 times a year clothing and footwear or equivalent in bonuses. Termination of employment relationship
by the company without a justified reason, is coupled with compensation to the employee. Additionally, for every 20 employees, the company
