“Today, I’m glad to present our fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results and share several operating highlights with you. In 2019, we demonstrated outstanding performance, especially in our Payment Services business, which delivered 27% segment net revenue and segment net profit growth year over year. The performance of our payment services business was driven predominantly by the expansion and enhancement of the product proposition we offer to our users, merchants and partners underpinned by the secular trends in our key markets, the latter, however, have started to decelerate towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. This


year we have processed close to 1.5 trillion rubles in cash and electronic payments, increasing our turnover by almost one third. I believe, this is an impressive achievement and would like to thank our entire team for their contribution. Our results clearly emphasize the value and relevance of the payment ecosystem we have developed so far and aim to develop further,” said Boris Kim, QIWI’s chief executive officer. “At the same time, we see many challenges ahead, primarily resulting from the recent pandemic coronavirus outbreak that affects some of our key categories and a steep decline in oil prices and ruble devaluation. Nevertheless, we believe and have proved many times before that we have created a resilient ecosystem that is highly adaptive and consumer oriented and will continue to develop it further by targeting our core niches and areas of expertise and creating new use cases well fitted to serve our users, merchants and partners. At the same time, we continue to optimize our operations and implement stricter cost controls and we see the majority of the projects that we have been investing in demonstrate improving operating and financial performance, primarily SOVEST and Tochka. Taking this into account, we remain committed to distributing excess cash to our shareholders and currently have no plans to postpone or refrain from paying dividends. Even in these challenging times, we see many opportunities both in the payment space and in the adjacent markets and I believe we are well positioned to continue strengthening our ecosystem with the ultimate goal of securing our long-term growth prospects.”

Fourth Quarter 2019 Results

Adjusted and Segment Net Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue (Total Segment Net Revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was RUB 6,253 million ($101.0 million), an increase of 7% compared with RUB 5,818 million in the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by Payment Services (PS) and Consumer Financial Services (CFS) Segments Net Revenue growth, which was partially offset by the decline in the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Segment Net Revenue.


Payment Services Segment Net Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was RUB 5,487 million ($88.6 million), an increase of 16% compared with RUB 4,741 million in the prior year.

PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 4,840 million ($78.2 million), an increase of 18% compared with RUB 4,118 million in the prior year. PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by volume growth in E-commerce, Money Remittance and Financial Services market verticals partially offset by a slight decline in the Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield driven predominantly by a decline in E-commerce category adjusted net revenue yield resulting from changing product mix.

PS 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, and advertising, was RUB 647 million ($10.5 million), an increase of 4% compared with RUB 623 million in the prior year. Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019 were RUB 406 million ($6.6 million) compared with RUB 410 million for the corresponding period in the prior year, growth deceleration as compared to the previous quarters resulted primarily from changes in regulation regarding inactivity fee charges, where the period of inactivity was changed from 6 months to 12 months for all newly inactive wallets starting October 2019. PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 14% compared with the same period in the prior year to RUB 241 million predominantly as a result the increase in interest revenue.

Consumer Financial Services Segment Net Revenue which is composed of revenue from our SOVEST project for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was RUB 469 million ($7.6 million) compared with RUB 199 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Segment Net Revenue growth resulted primarily from improving monetization and expansion of the operations of the SOVEST project.

Small and Medium Enterprises Segment Net Revenue which is composed of revenue from cash and settlement services related to the operations of the Tochka project for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was RUB 193 million ($3.1 million) compared with RUB 1,057 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Segment Net Revenue dynamics were primarily due to the transfer of Tochka project to JSC Tochka starting from February 1, 2019, which is now recognized as an associate. As a result of this transition we no longer recognize a substantial portion of Tochka project revenues associated with the information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,609 million ($26.0 million), an increase of 9% compared with RUB 1,473 million in the prior year. The adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by Total Adjusted Net Revenue growth as well as decline in other administrative expenses to RUB 458 million compared to RUB 475 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year and a decline of rent of premises and related utility expenses resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16. The growth was partially offset by the new expense line related to Tochka platform services arising after the transfer of the Tochka’s operations to an associate starting from February 2019, in the amount of RUB 187 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and an increase of compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments). Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 25.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared with 25.3% for the same period in the prior year.

 


Adjusted and Segment Net Profit: For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Adjusted Net Profit (Total Segment Net Profit) was RUB 1,168 million ($18.9 million), an increase of 15% compared with RUB 1,014 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The growth of Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA as well as by a decrease in net foreign exchange loss1 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Payment Services Segment Net Profit was RUB 2,652 million ($42.8 million), an increase of 3% compared with RUB 2,584 million in the prior year driven by Payment Services Segment Net Revenue growth offset by growth of payroll, compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments) as well as by growth in marketing and advertising expenses.

The Consumer Financial Services Segment Net Loss for the fourth quarter 2019 was RUB 590 million ($9.5 million) an increase of RUB 52 million as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 538 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in Net Loss was primarily driven by growth of marketing and advertising expenses mostly related to consumer acquisition and loss from initial recognition of loans at market rate resulting from to the expansion of operations of the SOVEST projects that was offset by Segment Net Revenue growth.

The Small and Medium Enterprises Net Profit was RUB 187 million ($3.0 million) as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 281 million in the prior year. The net profit increase was primarily driven by the development of the Tochka business.

Rocketbank Segment Net Loss was RUB 684 million ($11.1 million), an increase of 17% compared with the net loss of RUB 584 million in the prior year primarily driven by the increase of marketing and advertising expenses and compensation to employees and related taxes.

Payment Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Payment Services Segment payment volume was RUB 400.5 billion ($6.5 billion), an increase of 22% compared with RUB 328.9 billion in the prior year. The increase in payment volume was driven by growth in E-commerce, Money Remittances and Financial Services market verticals resulting largely from the development of certain payment solutions for merchants including betting merchants, new contracts and new projects targeting the self-employed market. Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield was 1.21%, decrease of 4 bps as compared with 1.25% in the prior year primarily driven by the development of new products and corresponding shift of the product mix towards lower yielding volumes.

Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield was 1.37%, a decrease of 6 bps as compared with 1.43% in the prior year.

Consumer Financial Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Consumer Financial Services Segment payment volume was RUB 9.8 billion ($0.2 billion). CFS payment volume increased by 69% as compared to the RUB 5.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018, while CFS Segment Net Revenue Yield increased to 4.81% driven primarily by the development of the consumer paid value added options.

Segment Net Revenue dynamics were primarily due to the transfer of Tochka project to JSC Tochka starting from February 1, 2019, which is now recognized as an associate. As a result of this transition we no longer recognize a substantial portion of Tochka project revenues associated with the information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank.

Adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by Total Adjusted Net Revenue growth underpinned by the decrease of advertising, client acquisition and related expenses to RUB 1,967 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to RUB 2,369 million in the prior year driven mostly by the transfer of Tochka project and rent of premises and related utility expenses decline resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16.

The Small and Medium Enterprises Net Profit was RUB 354 million ($5.7 million) as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 776 million in the prior year. The substantial improvement of the segment results of operations primarily resulted from the development and scaling of the Tochka business.

Rocketbank Net Loss was RUB 2,317 million ($37.4 million), an increase of 118% as compared with the net loss of RUB 1,061 million in the prior year primarily driven by the expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and roll out of the operations of Rocketbank in QIWI.

The number of active kiosks and terminals was 134,280 including Contact and Rapida physical points of service, a decrease of 7% compared with the prior year mainly due to the decline in the number of terminals slightly offset by the increase in the number of kiosks due to ongoing market consolidation.

The number of our kiosks and terminals is generally decreasing as market evolves towards higher share of digital payments, at the same time our physical distribution network remains an important part of our infrastructure. The number of active Qiwi Wallet accounts was 22.5 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of 1.6 million, or 8%, as compared with 20.8 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase was driven mainly by development of consumer and merchant use cases in the core market verticals, network effects as well as increasing convenience and usability of our services.

Consumer Financial Services Other Operating Data: For the year ended December 31, 2019, Consumer Financial Services Segment payment volume was RUB 27.8 billion ($0.4 billion). CFS payment volume increased by 75% as compared to the RUB 15.9 billion for the full year 2018, while CFS Segment Net Revenue Yield increased to 4.82% driven by the growth and development of the SOVEST project.

Recent Developments

Rocketbank Sale: In August 2017, we executed a series of transactions to acquire the brands, software and hardware of Tochka and Rocketbank from Otkritie Bank. In July 2018, we finalized the acquisition of Rocketbank and, by the end of 2018, completed the transfer of Rocketbank’s customers, personnel and business processes into QIWI. Throughout the first half of 2019, we reviewed a number of strategic opportunities for the development of Rocketbank’s business as either a part of our broader ecosystem or as a standalone project. A final strategic plan for Rocketbank was presented to and reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Company. In August 2019, having duly considered the proposed strategy and required financing, our Board of Directors concluded that Rocketbank’s business plan had an investment profile and financing requirements that were not compatible with QIWI’s risk appetite and that the business had limited potential synergies with the core business of the Company. The Board of Directors, therefore requested that management investigates the potential for a partial or complete sale of Rocketbank.

Subsequently, we investigated a potential partial or complete sale of Rocketbank. We were not able to find a suitable buyer for Rocketbank, and as a result, the Board of Directors decided to wind-down Rocketbank operations. We have commenced this process and are currently reviewing the most efficient way to reuse or dispose of the Rocketbank assets, including piloting certain projects earlier developed in Rocketbank in our Payment Services Segment particularly as part of our B2B2C product pipeline. As part of the measures we are taking to wind-down Rocketbank project, we intend to terminate marketing activities (including cancelation of the Rocketbank loyalty program), reduce headcount and increase tariffs, which we believe will result in an overall significant decline in the number of the Rocketbank customers and termination of the current Rocketbank service offering in the short term. We anticipate the wind-down will be completed by the end of 2020. Total net loss of the Rocketbank segment for 2020 shall not exceed RUB 1.5 billion.

Floctory: In March 2017 QIWI acquired 82% of Flocktory Ltd, a SaaS platform for customer lifecycle management and personalization focused primarily on the development of automated marketing solutions for the e-commerce, financial, media and travel industries, based on data collection and analysis. On December 2, 2019 founders of Flocktory Ltd have exercised the put-options they were granted as part of the initial transaction. Following this transaction, QIWI has obtained control over Flocktory Ltd, and starting from December 2019 consolidates the business as part of the Corporate and Other Category. Founders of Flocktory Ltd continue to serve as members of its supervisory board.

Dividend: In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, the Company aims to distribute between 65% to 85% of the Group Adjusted Net Profit for 2019. Hence, following the determination of the fourth quarter 2019 financial results, our Board of Directors approved a dividend of USD 22 cents per share. The dividend record date is April 6, 2020, and the Company intends to pay the dividend on April 9, 2020. The holders of ADSs will receive the dividend shortly thereafter.

Further, considering our expectations about the performance of the Group as well as our anticipated level of investments in 2020, the Board of Directors approved a target dividend payout ratio of at least 50% of Group Adjusted Net Profit for 2020. The Board of Directors reserves the right to distribute the dividends on a quarterly basis, as it deems necessary so that the total annual payout is in accordance with the target provided, though the payout ratios for each of the quarters may vary and be above or below provided target.

It remains the long-term intention of the Company to distribute all excess cash to the shareholders.


2020 Guidance3

QIWI provides its guidance in respect of 2020 outlook:

 

   

Total Adjusted Net Revenue is expected to increase by 3% to 13% over 2019;

 

   

Payment Services Segment Net Revenue is expected to change by -3% to 5% over 2019;

 

   

Adjusted Net Profit is expected to increase by 10% to 30% over 2019;

For the purpose of the guidance in respect of 2020 outlook we would like to outline the following considerations:

The outbreak of the COVID-19 strain of coronavirus and associated responses from various countries around the world is likely to negatively affect consumer demand across the globe and across industries, and there is the potential for COVID-19 and the responses to it to cause a global recession. At this moment we are not able to accurately estimate the potential impact of the COVID-19 on our business, including the negative effect on the betting industry in general and our revenue generated from products and services we provide to our betting merchants caused by postponement and cancellation of the major sports events. In addition, it is currently unclear how much consumer demand will be negatively affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 and what effect the outbreak of COVID-19 will have on the macroeconomic environment, as a whole. The full impact remains uncertain and will depend on the length and severity of the effect of the coronavirus on economic activity in our markets. The full scope of the negative impact that the abrupt decline in oil prices and resulting devaluation of the ruble may have on the Russian economy also remains unclear but has the potential to be very significant. Our outlook reflects our current views and expectations only and is based on the trends we see as of the day of this report. If such trends were to deteriorate further the impact on our business and operations could be more severe than currently expected. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

Further, the Compensation Committee of the Group has recently approved certain changes to our organizational structure. Following these changes, certain costs (primarily personnel costs related to different group level functions, such as compliance, HR or legal) will no longer be allocated to the Payment Services Segment, but rather to the Corporate category or allocated between the segments. We are currently reviewing our allocation policies and aim to adjust the reporting to better reflect the new structure starting from the first quarter 2020. Consequently, we refrain from providing standalone PS Net Profit Guidance and present only the Group Net Profit guidance.

The Company reserves the right to revise guidance in the course of the year or when additional information regarding the effect of the ongoing events becomes available.

You should not consider these non-IFRS financial measures as substitutes for or superior to revenue, in the case of Total Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue and PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue; Net Profit, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA; and Adjusted Net Profit, or earnings per share, in the case of Adjusted Net Profit per share, each prepared in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, because these non-IFRS financial measures are not determined in accordance with IFRS, they are susceptible to varying calculations and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. QIWI encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For more information regarding Total Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Profit, and Adjusted Net Profit per share, including a quantitative reconciliation of Total Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit to the most directly comparable IFRS financial performance measure, which is revenue in the case of Total Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue and PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue and Net Profit in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit, see Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Operating Results in this earnings release.

PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue is the Adjusted Net Revenue consisting of the merchant and consumer fees collected for the payment transactions. E-commerce payment adjusted net revenue consists of fees charged to customers and merchants that buy and sell products and services online, including online games, social networks, betting, online stores, game developers, software producers, coupon websites, tickets and numerous other merchants. Financial Services payment adjusted net revenue primarily consists of fees charged for payments accepted on behalf of our bank partners and microfinance companies. Money Remittances payment adjusted net revenue primarily consists of fees charged for transferring funds via money remittance companies, card-to-card transfers and certain wallet-to-wallet transfers. Telecom payment adjusted net revenue primarily consists of fees charged for payments to MNOs, internet services providers and pay television providers. Other payment adjusted net revenue consists of consumer and merchant fees charged for a variety of payments including multi-level-marketing, utility bills, government payments, education services and many others.

Payment Services Segment 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.

(3)

PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue is calculated as the difference between PS Payment Revenue and PS Cost of Payment Revenue (excluding D&A). PS Payment Revenue primarily consists of merchant and consumer fees. Cost of PS Payment Revenue primarily consists of commission to agents.

(4)

Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield is defined as PS Payment adjusted net revenue divided by Payment Services payment segment volume.

(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 number of active kiosks and terminals for the last 30 days of the respective reporting period.

(6)

Active 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.

(7)

Consumer Financial Services segment payment volume consists of the transaction amounts paid by SOVEST card customers to merchants offline and online (including, but not limited to the partner-merchants) or withdrawn through ATMs less the amount returned for corresponding reimbursements.

Payment Services Segment 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.
