QIWI reviews 2015 Guidance

NICOSIA, Cyprus, Sept. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QIWI plc, (NASDAQ:QIWI) ("QIWI" or the "Company") today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Second-Quarter 2015 Operating and Financial Highlights

Total Adjusted Net Revenue increased 20% to RUB 2,525 million ($45.5 million)
Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to RUB 1,483 million ($26.7 million)
Adjusted Net Profit increased 9% to RUB 1,033 million ($18.6 million), or RUB 18.40 per diluted share
Total payment volume increased 31% to RUB 204.2 billion ($3.7 billion)

"I am very pleased to share these solid results of our consolidated business," said Sergey Solonin, QIWI's chief executive officer. "Despite the continuing macroeconomic slowdown we continued to deliver strong financial and operational results. I am particularly happy with the addition to the business of Contact and Rapida, which are already bringing synergies to the group and strengthening our positions in the rapidly changing payments environment. We continue to see plenty of opportunities ahead, especially in gaining market share in the key verticals, which will be the key focus for the company in the near term."

Second-Quarter 2015 Results

Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was RUB 2,525 million ($45.5 million), an increase of 20% compared with RUB 2,112 million in the prior year.

Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 1,876 million ($33.8 million), an increase of 20% compared with RUB 1,562 million in the prior year. Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by an increase in payment volume across all verticals, especially the E-commerce and Money Remittances market verticals, that was in turn partially offset by the declining net revenue yields primarily as a result of the acquisition and consolidation of Contact and Rapida which operate on significantly lower net revenue yields than QIWI standalone.

Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from inactivity fees, interest revenue and gain from currency swaps and overdrafts provided to agents, revenue from rent of space for kiosks and sale of kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising, was RUB 649 million ($11.7 million), an increase of 18% compared with RUB 550 million in the prior year. The growth in the second- quarter was mainly due to the increase in interest revenue from deposits and overdrafts provided to agents, slightly offset by our continuing investment in improving clients' service, such as call center costs.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,483 million ($26.7 million), an increase of 13% compared with RUB 1,318 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA growth was mainly driven by revenue growth partially offset by the 26% growth of SG&A cost including: advertising and marketing, bad debt expense, payroll, office maintenance costs (mainly driven by increase in automation expenses, and old equipment replacement) and other consulting and legal fees resulting from the ongoing internal controls improvements together with M&A activities, in particular the recent acquisition of Contact and Rapida. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 58.7% compared with 62.4% in the prior year.

Adjusted Net Profit: For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 1,033 million ($18.6 million), an increase of 9% compared with RUB 951 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA, though pressured by the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by RUB 76 million as compared to the second quarter 2014 to RUB 157 million as a result of purchase of additional fixed assets (mostly processing servers and engineering equipment) and intangible assets (mostly licenses and computer software) for security and business development purposes in the fourth quarter 2014.

Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, total payment volume was RUB 204.2 billion ($3.7 billion), an increase of 31% compared with RUB 156.3 billion in the prior year. Payment volume increased across all verticals partially driven by acquisition and consolidation of Contact and Rapida businesses as well as organic growth in E-commerce and Money Remittance market verticals. Average payment net revenue yield was 0.92%, a decrease of 8 bps compared with 1.00% in the prior period primarily due to the consolidation of lower yielding Contact and Rapida businesses.

The total average Net Revenue Yield was 1.24%, a decrease of 11 bps as compared with 1.35% in the prior year.

The number of active kiosks and terminals was 176,831, an increase of 3% compared with the prior year. The number of active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts was 17.0 million in the second-quarter 2015, an increase of 1.2 million, or 7%, as compared with 15.8 million in the second-quarter 2014.

Recent Developments

Dividend: QIWI continues to pursue different M&A opportunities and considers the timing and current market conditions to favor this strategy. We plan to refrain from paying dividends for the next few quarters with the objective to return to our historical dividend distribution practice once this window closes.

Acquisition of Contact and Rapida: On May 14th, 2015 we announced the acquisition of 100% ownership in the Contact money transfer system and the Rapida payment processing system from Otkritie financial corporation. The deal was structured as a two-stage process within which we acquired 70% of interest in Contact and Rapida on June 2nd, 2015 with the deal on the remaining 30% closed on June 30th, 2015. Starting June 1st 2015 we consolidate financial results of the above mentioned companies in our financial statements which are presented in the Annex below.

2015 Guidance¹

QIWI reviews its guidance in respect of 2015 outlook:

Total Adjusted Net Revenue is expected to increase by 18% to 22% over 2014
Adjusted Net Profit is expected to increase by 18% to 22% over 2014

We have started to note the effects of the macroeconomic slowdown in Russia in the second half of 2014 and especially in Q4, which we believe can be long lasting and could have a significant negative effect on both consumer spending and the banking system in Russia and, accordingly, on our business. The extent of the slowdown, and if that were to result in a full scale banking crisis and long-term deterioration of consumer confidence, is yet to be assessed.

Further, we see several risks that can affect the stability and profitability of our offline distribution business. Firstly, the overall macroeconomic conditions adversely affect the purchasing power of Russian population as high inflation combined with decreasing real wage put pressure on the disposable income, thus leading to the overall decrease in consumer spending and in turn our payment volumes. Secondly, the Agents' economics is being pressured by decreasing commissions (including and most significantly MNOs) and higher customer commission sensitivity combined with high rental and other costs.

Moreover, the Central Bank of Russia has been recently taking steps to secure the quality and transparency of agents industry, thus imposing some additional controls and monitoring requirements on agents through the banks. As agents have to comply with more requirements and handle significantly increasing numbers of inquiries from the banks that they work with, additional pressure is put on the agents' business model especially for smaller players. Our network of agents is well diversified and we are committed to making our best effort to support our agents and mitigate potential negative effects of the abovementioned market conditions on their economic stability however, at the moment we don't have the visibility to estimate the potential negative impact of these changes in the mid-term.

We provide the 2015 guidance based on our current understanding of the overall situation, which is subject to change. We reserve the right to revisit our 2015 guidance in case we see the situation changing throughout the year.

Expected growth of Adjusted Net Profit equals to the expected growth of Adjusted Net Revenue as a consequence of our desire and commitment to invest into new products and gain market share in 2015.

¹Guidance is provided in Russian rubles and includes consolidated financial result of Contact and Rapida since June 1^st, 2015

(2) Payment volume by market verticals and consolidated payment volume consist of the amounts paid by our customers to merchants included in each of those market verticals less intra-group eliminations. The methodology of payment volumes allocation between different market verticals in QIWI's international operations (including Kazakhstan) may differ from the methodology used by QIWI's Russian operations. We therefore retain the right to restate the presented volumes, net revenues and net revenue yields data in case the methodology of QIWI's international operations will be brought in conformity with the methodology of QIWI's Russian operations.
(3) Payment volume by market verticals and consolidated payment volume consist of the amounts paid by our customers to merchants included in each of those market verticals less intra-group eliminations. The methodology of payment volumes allocation between different market verticals in Contact and Rapida may differ from the methodology used by QIWI. We therefore retain the right to restate the presented volumes, net revenues and net revenue yields data in case the methodology of Contact and Rapida will be brought in conformity with the methodology used by QIWI.
(4) Payment Adjusted Net Revenue is calculated as the difference between Payment Gross Revenue and Payment Costs. Payment Gross Revenue primarily consists of merchant and consumer fees. Payment Costs primarily consist of commission to agents.
(5) We measure the numbers of our kiosks and terminals on a daily basis, with only those kiosks and terminals being taken into calculation through which at least one payment has been processed during the day, which we refer to as active kiosks and terminals. The period end numbers of our kiosks and terminals are calculated as an average of the amount of active kiosks and terminals for the last 30 days of the respective reporting period.
(6) Active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts calculated on a yearly basis, i.e. an active account is an account that had at least one transaction within the last 12 months from the reporting date.
