Factors impacting comparability of our Q3 2014 and Q3 2013 results
• Unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the US dollar against the ZAR: The US dollar appreciated by 28%
against the ZAR during Q3 2014, which negatively impacted our reported results;
• SASSA implementation complete: Our SASSA contract implementation is complete. We incurred implementation-
related expenditure, including smart card costs, of approximately $20.6 million during Q3 2013;
• Increased contribution by KSNET: Our results were positively impacted by growth in our Korean operations;
• Growth in financial services: The year-over-year expansion of our financial services offering during Q3 2014,
resulted in higher revenue and operating income from UEPS-based lending;
• Ad hoc hardware sales in fiscal 2014: We sold more terminals and cards during Q3 2014 as a result of ad hoc
orders received from our customers;
• 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 airtime offering during Q3 2014, which has lower margins
compared with our other South African businesses;
• Lower US government investigation-related and US lawsuit expenses: We incurred lower US government
investigation-related expenses during Q3 2014 compared to during 2013, which was partially offset by an increase in
US lawsuit-related expenses; and
• Fiscal 2013 bad debt provision: In fiscal 2013 we provided $2.3 million related to the expired NUETS Iraqi
customer contracts.
Comments and Outlook
“I am delighted with the quality of our third quarter performance,” said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and CEO of Net1.
“Despite the many distractions faced by the Company during the last two years, our staff members have maintained focus
and, once again, demonstrated our ability to deliver sterling results under adverse circumstances. I commend all of those Net1
employees who remain loyal and committed to ensure we deliver the highest level of service and continue to expand our
business activities in physical and virtual payment technologies, both locally and internationally.”
“We believe that the publication of any new SASSA tender may take some time and we are ready to propose an enhanced
version of our current UEPS/EMV solution, which would continue to provide SASSA with the business functionality which
they described in detail during the legal processes. We are proud that our technology has already saved the public purse in
excess of ZAR 3 billion ($286 million) per annum, with the removal of more than a million invalid grants. In the mean time,
we will continue to optimize our cost structures and focus on the marketing of our complementary and supplementary
products in order to diversify our business and enhance our profitability,” he concluded.
“We expect the momentum from the execution of our strategy to continue driving top and bottom line growth,” said Herman
Kotzé, Chief Financial Officer of Net1. “For fiscal 2014, we now expect fundamental earnings per share of at least $1.90,
assuming a constant currency base of ZAR 8.71/$1. The share count assumption in our guidance includes the 4.4 million
shares that were issued as part of our BEE transaction on April 16, 2014,” he concluded.
South African Constitutional Court remedy related to SASSA tender
On April 17, 2014, the South African Constitutional Court ruled on the appropriate remedy following its declaration on
November 29, 2013, that the tender process followed by the South African Social Security Agency, or SASSA, in awarding a
contract to us was constitutionally invalid. The declaration of invalidity of our contract was upheld, but suspended until a new
tender is awarded, or for the remainder of the existing contract period if no tender is awarded. SASSA is required to initiate a
new tender process within 30 days of the Court's ruling and any award must be for a period of five years. If a new tender is
not awarded, the declaration of invalidity of our current contract will be further suspended until the completion of the five-
year period for which the contract was originally awarded.
Implementation of December 2013 BEE transaction
On April 16, 2014 we implemented our Relationship Agreements with our BEE partners, concluded during December 2013,
and we have accordingly issued 4,400,000 shares to the BEE partners.
Under the Relationship Agreements, we issued 4,100,000 shares of our common stock to Business Venture Investments 1567
Proprietary Limited (RF) and 300,000 shares to Born Free Investments 272 Proprietary Limited at a price of ZAR 60.00 per
share. In order to facilitate the transactions, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries lent the funds to the BEE partners to effect
the purchase of the BEE shares.
Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity
Our operating metrics will be updated and posted on our website (www.net1.com).
South African transaction-based activities
Segment revenue was $64.9 million in Q3 2014, up 10% compared with Q3 2013 in USD and up 41% on a constant currency
basis. In ZAR, increase in segment revenue was primarily due to more low-margin transaction fees generated from
beneficiaries using the South African National Payment System, incremental prepaid airtime sales driven by the rollout of our
prepaid airtime product, and reflects the elimination of inter-company transactions. Segment operating income margin was
17% and (7)%, respectively, and increased primarily due to the absence of SASSA implementation costs in Q3 2014.
Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, Q3 2014 segment operating income margin was 19% compared
with (5) % in Q3 2013.
International transaction-based activities
KSNET contributes the majority of our revenues and operating income in this segment. Segment revenue was $34.9 million in
Q3 2014, up 6% compared with Q3 2013 in USD and 36% on a constant currency basis. Revenue increased primarily due to
KSNET’s revenue growth during Q3 2014 and was partially offset by the expiration and non-renewal of NUETS’ contract
with its Iraqi customer in Q3 2013.
Operating income during Q3 2014 was higher due to increase in revenue contribution from KSNET and due to the NUETS
Iraqi customer bad debt provision in fiscal 2013, but partially offset by ongoing losses related to our XeoHealth launch in the
United States and at Net1 Virtual Card, as well as ongoing competition in the Korean marketplace. Excluding the amortization
of intangibles, Q3 2014 operating income margin was 13% compared to 6% during Q3 2013.
Smart card accounts
Segment revenue was $10.6 million in Q3 2014, up 23% compared with Q3 2013 in USD and 57% on a constant currency
basis driven exclusively by the increase in the number of smart card accounts. Segment operating income margin from
providing smart card accounts for each of Q3 2014 and 2013 was 29% and 28%, respectively.
Financial services
UEPS-based lending contributes the majority of the revenue and operating income in this segment. Segment revenue was
$11.1 million in Q3 2014, up 572% compared with Q3 2013 in USD and 763% higher on a constant currency basis,
principally due to the increase in the number of loans granted as we rolled out our product nationally. The year-over-year
increase in operating income was partially offset by the higher UEPS-based lending operating cost base in fiscal 2014 and the
re-allocation of UEPS-based lending corporate and administration overhead expenses to this segment. Smart Life did not
contribute to operating income in Q3 2014 as it is currently unable to issue new insurance policies as a result of the
suspension of its license by the Financial Services Board in fiscal 2013.
Hardware, software and related technology sales
Segment revenue was $16.6 million in Q3 2014, up 90% compared with Q3 2013 in USD and 144% on a constant currency
basis. The increase in revenue and operating income resulted from higher ad hoc terminal and smart card sales. Excluding
amortization of all intangibles, segment operating income margin was 24% compared to 20% during Q3 2013.
Corporate/eliminations
The decrease in our corporate expenses resulted primarily from lower legal fees incurred in connection with the US
government investigations compared to Q3 2013, partially offset by higher other corporate head office-related expenses.
Cash flow and liquidity
At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30.9 million, down from $53.7 million at June 30, 2013. The
decrease in our cash balances from June 30, 2013, was primarily due to the expansion of our UEPS-based lending business,
working capital changes, the repayment of a portion of our Korean debt and acquisition of all of the remaining shares of
KSNET that we did not already own.
Excluding the impact of interest received, interest paid under our Korean debt and taxes, the decrease in cash from operating
activities resulted from the expansion of our UEPS-based lending book, offset by cash inflows from improved trading activity
and the substantial elimination of implementation costs related to our SASSA contract in fiscal 2014. Capital expenditures for
Q3 2014 and 2013 were $4.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and have increased primarily due to the acquisition of
more payment processing terminals in Korea.
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 (loss) and earnings (loss) 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 2013, acquisition-related costs. Management believes that the
fundamental net income and earnings per share metric enhances its own evaluation, as well as an investor’s understanding, of
our financial performance. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP and fundamental net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share.
Headline earnings (loss) 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 (loss) which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline earnings
(loss) 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 (loss) adjusted for the profit on sale of property, plant and
equipment, net of related tax effects. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net income (loss) used to calculate
earnings (loss) per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline
diluted earnings (loss) per share.

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.
