In 2017 we see many opportunities ahead and will continue to focus on executing our strategy and developing our new products.”

First Quarter 2017 Results

Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was RUB 2,905 million ($51.5 million), an increase of 16% compared with RUB 2,509 million in the prior year.

Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 2,372 million ($42.1 million), an increase of 18% compared with RUB 2,004 million in the prior year. Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by a volume growth in the Money Remittance and E-commerce market verticals as well as by an improvement in yields in E-commerce market vertical resulting from shift in product mix partially offset by a decrease in payment volumes in the Telecom and Other market verticals and a decrease in the net revenue yield in Financial Services market vertical.

Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, rent of space for kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising, was RUB 533 million ($9.5 million), an increase of 6% compared with RUB 505 million in the prior year. The growth in the first quarter was mainly due to an increase in interest revenue slightly offset by a decrease in revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments. Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 were RUB 318 million ($5.6 million) compared with RUB 334 million in the prior year. Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 25% compared with the same period in the prior year.

Total Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 19% compared with the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,519 million ($26.9 million), an increase of 4% compared with RUB 1,466 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increase was largely driven by an increase in Adjusted Net Revenue offset by higher SG&A expense due to increase in advertising expenses to RUB 214 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to RUB 20 million for same period in the prior year related to the roll out of the SOVEST project, increase in personnel expenses (excluding effect of share based payments) to RUB 437 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to RUB 389 million for same period in the prior year, tax and office maintenance expenses all in connection with the launch of a new project SOVEST. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 52.3% compared with 58.4% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was RUB 1,201 million ($21.3 million), an increase of 6% compared with RUB 1,132 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 46.4% compared with 52.1% in the prior year.

Adjusted Net Profit: For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 1,266 million ($22.5 million), an increase of 3% compared with RUB 1,233 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Net Profit excluding fees for inactive accounts and unused balances (net of tax) increased 5% compared with the prior year. The Adjusted Net Profit excluding net expenses associated with the SOVEST project in the first quarter was RUB 1,566 million representing as increase of 27% as compared with the same period of prior year.

Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, total payment volume was RUB 207.8 billion ($3.7 billion), an increase of 8% compared with RUB 193.2 billion in the prior year. Dynamics of payment volume was driven by mixed trends across market verticals with growth in Money Remittances market vertical resulting largely from secular growth in digital money remittances including card to card and peer to peer transfers and E-commerce market vertical offset by declining volumes across Telecom, Other and to a lesser extent Financial Services market verticals. Payment average net revenue yield was 1.14%, an increase of 10 bps compared with 1.04% in the prior year primarily due to the shift of the revenue mix towards higher yielding services.

Total average Net Revenue Yield was 1.40%, an increase of 10 bps as compared with 1.30% in the prior year. Total average Net Revenue Yield excluding the effect of fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 1.24%, an increase of 12 bps as compared with the same period in the prior year.

SOVEST: In late 2016, we launched a payment-by-installments card program under the SOVEST brand.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, total payment volume of the project was RUB 191.5 million ($3.4 million).

Recent Developments

Dividend: Following the determination of first quarter 2017 financial results our Board of Directors approved a dividend of USD 22 cents per share. The dividend record date is May 29, 2017, and the Company intends to pay the dividend on May 31, 2017. The holders of ADSs will receive the dividend shortly thereafter.

Dividend distributions for 2017 are subject to our future cash flow needs, including our cash requirements in connection with our new projects or otherwise.

Regulation by the Central Bank of Russia: Our kiosk network in Russia was affected by the enhanced controls that the Central Bank of Russia has implemented to ensure compliance by the agents with legislation that requires them to remit their proceeds to special accounts, as disclosed in our Form 6-K filed on November 2, 2015.

Although through reducing the size of our network, this adversely affects the availability and convenience of our services to consumers in the short-term, we continue to believe that increased transparency in the kiosk market will ultimately allow us to improve our market share and strengthen our competitive advantages.

(1)	Payment volumes, payment adjusted net revenue by vertical and payment average net revenue yields presented for the respective period in 2016 differ from the data previously published, including as presented in our quarterly earnings releases, and reflect adjustments made to the methodology of payment volumes and payment adjusted net revenues recognition and allocation between market verticals including the following changes: (i) adjustment to methodology in QIWI Kazakhstan to conform with the methodology used in QIWI’s Russian operations and corresponding reallocation of Kazakhstan payment volumes and payment adjusted net revenues to appropriate market verticals; (ii) adjustment to methodology of revenue and cost allocation between categories and corresponding reallocation of certain commissions and costs between market verticals; (iii) change in methodology of accounting for transactions in foreign currencies and corresponding revaluation of certain volumes, costs and revenues; (iv) change in methodology of Contact and Rapida volume recognition in ongoing effort to bring methodology in line with QIWI’s processes and procedures (see also Note (4) below). The adjustments made reduced total volumes for the period starting January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2016 by RUB 4.9 billion and affected the allocation of payment adjusted net revenue between market verticals. The updated methodology is applied starting fourth quarter 2016 with all previous data revised retrospectively.
(2)	Calculated using a ruble to U.S. dollar exchange rate of RUB 56.3779 to U.S. $1.00, which was the official exchange rate quoted by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation as of March 31, 2017.
(3)	Payment volume by market verticals and consolidated payment volume consist of the amounts paid by our customers to merchants or other customers 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)	In 2016 we introduced consumer commissions for certain types of P2P (wallet to wallet) transactions including cross currency transactions and transactions above certain limits. Corresponding volumes and payment adjusted net revenues are accounted for in our Money Remittances market vertical and amounted to RUB 7.9 billion and RUB 95 million respectively for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
(5)	Payment Adjusted Net Revenue is calculated as the difference between Payment Revenue and Cost of payment revenue (excluding D&A) plus compensation to employees and related taxes allocated to payment revenue. Payment Revenue primarily consists of merchant and consumer fees. Cost of payment revenue primarily consists of commission to agents.
(6)	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.
(7)	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.
