Second Quarter 2017 Results

Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was RUB 2,934 million ($49.7 million), an increase of 12% compared with RUB 2,619 million in the prior year.

Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 2,471 million ($41.8 million), an increase of 23% compared with RUB 2,012 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. Growth was partially offset by a decrease in payment volumes in the Financial Services, Telecom and Other market verticals.

Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue, SOVEST revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, rent of space for kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising, was RUB 463 million ($7.8 million), a decrease of 24% compared with RUB 607 million in the prior year. Other Adjusted Net Revenue decline in the second quarter was mainly due to the net loss of the SOVEST project1 in the amount of RUB 68 million, a decrease in revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments and revenue from cash and settlement services partially offset by the increase in interest revenue. Total Adjusted Net Revenue excluding contribution of SOVEST project increased 15% compared with the same period in the prior year.

Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 were RUB 328 million ($5.5 million) compared with RUB 380 million in the prior year. Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments decreased 40% compared with the same period in the prior year. Total Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 16% compared with the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,376 million ($23.3 million), a decrease of 16% compared with RUB 1,640 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA decrease was largely driven by growth of SG&A expense due to increase in advertising expenses to RUB 335 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to RUB 27 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 418 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to RUB 346 million for same period in the prior year, tax and bad debt expenses also related to the launch of the SOVEST project partially offset by an increase in Adjusted Net Revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 46.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared with 62.6% for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was RUB 1,048 million ($17.7 million), a decrease of 17% compared with RUB 1,260 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 40.2% compared with 56.3% in the prior year.

Adjusted Net Profit: For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 1,082 million ($18.3 million), a decrease of 15% compared with RUB 1,270 million in the prior year. The decrease 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) decreased 15% compared with the prior year. The Adjusted Net Profit excluding net expenses associated with the SOVEST project1 in the second quarter was RUB 1,662 million representing as increase of 31% as compared with the same period of prior year.

Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, total payment volume was RUB 216.5 billion ($3.7 billion), an increase of 6% compared with RUB 204.5 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 Financial Services, Telecom and Other market verticals. Payment average adjusted net revenue yield was 1.14%, an increase of 16 bps compared with 0.98% in the prior year primarily due to the higher average net revenue yield in the E-commerce market vertical.

Total average adjusted Net Revenue Yield was 1.36%, an increase of 8 bps as compared with 1.28% in the prior year. Total average adjusted Net Revenue Yield excluding the effect of fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 1.20%, an increase of 11 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.

(3)  Cost of payment revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of transaction costs to acquire payments from our customers payable to agents, mobile operators, international payment systems and other parties.
(4)  The Company does not record the compensation to employees and related taxes within cost of revenue separately for payment revenue and other revenue; therefore, it has been allocated between payment revenue and other revenue in proportion to the relevant revenue amounts for the purposes of the reconciliation presented above.
(5)  Other Revenue primarily consists of revenue from inactivity fees, interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, rent of space for kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising.
(6)  Cost of other revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of direct costs associated with other revenue and other costs, including but not limited to: compensation to employees and related taxes allocated to other revenue, costs of call-centers and advertising commissions.
(7)  Amortization of fair value adjustments primarily includes the effect of the acquisition of control in Contact and Rapida.
(8)  The Forex loss on SPO funds as presented in the reconciliation of Net Profit to Adjusted Net Profit differs from the Foreign exchange loss and Foreign exchange gain in the reconciliation of Net Profit to Adjusted EBITDA as the latter includes all the foreign exchange losses/(gains) for the period, while the former only include the foreign exchange loss/(gain) on the US dollar amount, which we received at SPO.

(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 increased total volumes for the period starting April 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 by RUB 2.3 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 59.0855 to U.S. $1.00, which was the official exchange rate quoted by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation as of June 30, 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 9.5 billion and RUB 104 million respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 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.
(8)  Total payment volume (million) consist of the amounts paid by our customers using SOVEST card to the partner merchants.
