Factors impacting comparability of our Q4 2015 and Q4 2014 results

Unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the US dollar against the ZAR: The US dollar appreciated by 16% against the ZAR during Q4 2015, which negatively impacted our reported results;
Higher revenue resulting from an increase in low-margin prepaid airtime and electricity sales: Our revenue has increased as a result of the growth of our prepaid electricity and prepaid airtime offering during Q4 2015, with prepaid airtime having lower margins compared with our other South African businesses;
  Increased contribution by KSNET: Our results were positively impacted by growth in our South Korean operations;



Growth in financial services: The expansion of our financial services offering resulted in higher year-over-year revenue and operating income from UEPS-based lending during Q4 2015;
Ad hoc hardware sales in fiscal 2015: We sold more terminals and cards during Q4 2015 as a result of ad hoc orders received from our customers;
$26.6 million recovery of expenses and 2014 implementation costs: In Q4 2014, we received approximately $26.6 million, or approximately $19.1 million, net of tax, from SASSA related to the recovery of additional implementation costs incurred during the beneficiary re-registration process in fiscal 2012 and 2013; and
Fair value charge resulting from issue of equity instruments pursuant to BEE transactions: The fair value non- cash charge of $11.3 million related to our BEE transactions adversely impacted our reported results during Q4 2014.

Comments and Outlook

“I am thrilled with our 2015 performance as we were able to execute on our strategy extremely well. The continued local and international interest we receive as a result of our proven ability to implement state of the art, functional and robust solutions that allow for the financial inclusion of all citizens, as well as our card and mobile centric solutions that can be provided individually or in unison, provides us with a bespoke end-to-end financial technology solution relevant to both developed and developing world economies,” said Dr. Belamant, Chairman and CEO. “Our ZAZOO initiative is gaining momentum as demonstrated by its financial performance, and its latest agreements with companies such as Uber, Microsoft, and BitX and our investment in T24. ZAZOO’s pipeline has numerous other deals and it is well positioned to grow exponentially over a short period of time. We also believe that our entry into Nigeria via our investment in One Credit provides us the opportunity to deploy our entire solution in this vast, under-penetrated and profitable economy,” he concluded.

“Our financial and operating performance, including the increased investment in our newer growth and international initiatives, continues to track the strategic developments in our business,” said Herman Kotzé, Chief Financial Officer of Net1. “We expect to sustain the momentum in our business and continue our product, client and geographic diversification, and for fiscal 2016 anticipate our fundamental earnings per share to be at least $2.57, assuming an updated constant currency base of ZAR11.43/ $1 and a share count of 46.7 million shares,” he concluded.

Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity

Our operating metrics will be updated and posted on our website (www.net1.com).

South African transaction processing

Segment revenue was $59.8 million in Q4 2015, down 32% compared with Q4 2014 in USD and down 22% on a constant currency basis. In ZAR, revenue increased 12% in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 (after excluding the impact of the recovery in fiscal 2014 of implementation costs related to our SASSA contract). The increase in segment revenues, exclusive of such recovery, was primarily due to more low-margin transaction fees generated from beneficiaries using the South African National Payment System and more inter-segment transaction processing activities. In addition, revenue from the distribution of social welfare grants grew modestly during the year and was in-line with the increase in unique welfare cardholder recipients, net of removal of invalid and fraudulent beneficiaries, offset by the loss of MediKredit revenue as a result of the sale of that business.

Segment operating income margin was 19% and 44%, respectively, and decreased primarily due to the recovery of SASSA implementation costs in 2014. Segment operating income margin excluding the recovery of implementation costs was 20% for Q4 2014.

International transaction processing

Segment revenue was $42.6 million in Q4 2015, up 1% compared with Q4 2014 in USD and 17% on a constant currency basis. Revenue increased primarily due to increased transaction processing activities in South Korea during Q4 2015. Operating income during the year to date fiscal 2015 was higher due to increase in revenue contribution from KSNET, but partially offset by ZAZOO start-up costs in the UK and India. Segment operating income margin in Q4 2015 and Q4 2014 was 17% and 16%, respectively.

Financial inclusion and applied technologies

Segment revenue was $73.0 million in Q4 2015, up 14% compared with Q4 2014 in USD and 32% on a constant currency basis. Financial inclusion and applied technologies revenue and operating income increased primarily due to higher prepaid airtime sales driven by the rollout of our prepaid airtime product, an increase in the number of UEPS-based loans as we rolled out our product nationally, more ad hoc terminal and card sales and, in ZAR, an increase in intersegment revenues. Smart Life did not contribute to operating income in fiscal 2015 and 2014 due to the FSB suspension of its license. Smart Life resumed operating activities in early fiscal 2016, following the upliftment of suspension of its license by the FSB. Segment operating income margin was 27% and 28%, respectively, and decreased primarily as a result of more low-margin prepaid airtime and hardware sales.


Corporate/eliminations

The decrease in our corporate expenses in Q4 2015 resulted primarily from the non-cash charge related to the equity instruments issued pursuant to our BEE transactions in Q4 2014 and lower US government investigation and US lawsuit expenses, partially offset by increases in general corporate audit fees, executive emoluments and other corporate head office-related expenses.

Cash flow and liquidity

At June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $117.6 million, up from $58.7 million at June 30, 2014. The increase in our cash balances from June 30, 2014, was primarily due to the expansion of all of our core businesses, and to a lesser extent, to the cash conservation resulting from the sale of loss-incurring businesses, offset by provisional tax payments, investments, capital expenditures and the scheduled Korean debt repayment in October 2014.

Excluding the impact of interest received, interest paid under our Korean debt and taxes, the increase in cash from operating activities resulted from improved trading activity during fiscal 2015. During fiscal 2015, we paid interest of $3.6 million under our South Korean debt facility. Capital expenditures for Q4 2015 and 2014 were $11.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively, and have increased primarily due to the acquisition of more payment processing terminals in South Korea and ATMs in South Africa.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

US securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we disclose the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and provide reconciliation to the directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share and headline earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.

Fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share

Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net income and earnings per share adjusted for (1) the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), (2) stock-based compensation charges and (3) unusual non-recurring items, including the amortization of KSNET debt facility fees and US government investigations-related and US lawsuit expenses; as well as in fiscal 2015, a refund (net of taxes) related to Korean industry-wide litigation that has now been finalized and in fiscal 2014, the equity instruments charged related to our December 2014 BEE transactions, transaction-related costs and the net loss on deconsolidation of subsidiaries and business, net of tax.

Fundamental net income excluding SASSA recovery and fundamental earnings per share excluding SASSA recovery is Fundamental net income and earnings per share less the recovery received from SASSA in 2014 of $19.2 million, after taxes.

Management believes that the fundamental net income and earnings per share, as well as the fundamental net income and earnings per share excluding SASSA recovery, metrics enhances its own evaluation, as well as an investor’s understanding, of our financial performance.

Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP net income and earnings per share, basic, to fundamental net income and earnings per share, basic and to fundamental net income and earnings per share, basic excluding recovery from SASSA.

Headline earnings per share (“HEPS”)

The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated using net income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline earnings per share calculation of other companies listed on the JSE as these companies may report their financial results under a different financial reporting framework, including but not limited to, International Financial Reporting Standards.

HEPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net income adjusted for the profit on sale of property, plant and equipment, and, in fiscal 2014, the net loss on deconsolidation of subsidiaries and asset group, net of related tax effects. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net income used to calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline diluted earnings per share.

         Denominator for headline diluted earnings per share   46,944     48,855     46,913     46,603  

Weighted average number of shares used to calculate headline earnings per share diluted represent the denominator for basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest plus the effect of dilutive securities under GAAP. We use this number of fully-diluted shares outstanding to calculate headline earnings per share diluted because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline earnings per share diluted.
