Factors impacting comparability of our Q2 2015 and Q2 2014 results

    •    Unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the USD against the ZAR: The USD appreciated by 10% against
         the ZAR during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, which negatively impacted our reported results;
    •    Increased contribution by KSNET: Our results were positively impacted by growth in our Korean operations;
    •    Increase in the number of SASSA grants paid: Our revenue and operating income has increased as a result of the
         higher number of SASSA UEPS/EMV cardholders paid during fiscal 2015 compared with 2014; and
    •    Continued growth in financial inclusion services: We continued to grow our financial inclusion services offerings
         during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, which has resulted in higher revenues and operating income from more
         sales of low-margin prepaid airtime and UEPS-based lending.

Comments and Outlook

“Our operational and financial performance once again speaks for itself as we continue to deliver meaningful growth in
revenue and earnings,” said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and CEO of Net1. “Our prospects and pipeline are extremely
exciting, particularly as they reflect opportunities in the mobile space, which is the payment paradigm of the future. We are
globalizing, we have the technology, we have the dedicated staff, we have the financial resources and we have the passion.
Carpe Diem! I believe that our efforts, innovations and lateral thinking will be noticed and appreciated by the market and
enhance shareholder value,” he concluded.

“I am thrilled with the sustained top and bottom line growth generated by our core businesses,” said Herman Kotzé, Chief
Financial Officer of Net1. “Given our strategic and operational momentum, for fiscal 2015, we now expect fundamental
earnings per share of at least $2.28, assuming a constant currency base of ZAR10.40/$1 and a share count of 46.5 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

The South African transaction processing segment consists mainly of pension and welfare benefit distribution services
provided to the South African government, and transaction processing for retailers, utilities, medical-related claim service
customers and banks.

Segment revenue was $58.4 million in Q2 2015, down 1% compared with Q2 2014 in USD and up 10% on a constant
currency basis. In ZAR, the increase in segment revenues was primarily due to more low-margin transaction fees generated
from beneficiaries using the South African National Payment System and more intersegment 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, partially offset by the
loss of MediKredit revenue as a result of the sale of that business. Segment operating income margin in Q2 2015 and Q2
2014 was 22% and 12%, respectively, and has increased primarily due to more higher-margin intersegment transaction
processing activities, the elimination of MediKredit losses and an increase in the number of beneficiaries paid in Q2 2015.

   International transaction processing

The International transaction processing segment consists mainly of payment processing services for merchants and card
issuers in South Korea. The segment also includes transaction processing of UEPS-enabled smartcards in Botswana and
transaction processing of medical-related claims in the United States.

KSNET contributes the majority of our revenues and operating income in this segment. Segment revenue was $40.5 million
in Q2 2015, up 7% compared with Q2 2014 in USD and 18% on a constant currency basis. Revenue and operating income
increased primarily due to higher transaction volume at KSNET during Q2 2015. However, operating income for Q2 2015,
was adversely impacted by ad hoc incentives provided to staff due to the strong operating performance of KSNET during
calendar 2014. Segment operating income margin during each of Q2 2015 and Q2 2014 was 14%, respectively.

   Financial inclusion and applied technologies

The Financial inclusion and applied technologies segment includes our smart card accounts, lending and life insurance
businesses. This segment also includes the economics from merchants and card holders using our merchant acquiring system,
the sale of prepaid products (electricity and airtime) and the sale of hardware and software.

Segment revenue was $67.5 million in Q2 2015, up 34% compared with Q2 2014 in USD and 48% on a constant currency
basis. 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, and, in ZAR,
an increase in intersegment revenues. Smart Life did not contribute to operating income in Q2 2015 and 2014 due to the FSB
suspension of its license.

Operating income margin for the Financial inclusion and applied technologies segment was 26% during each of the second
quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively.
   
  Corporate/eliminations

Corporate/eliminations generally includes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization; expenditure related to compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; non-employee directors’ fees; employee and executive bonuses; stock-based
compensation; legal fees; audit fees; directors and officers insurance premiums; telecommunications expenses; property-
related expenditures including utilities, rental, security and maintenance; and elimination entries.

The decrease in our corporate expenses was primarily due to lower US government investigations-related and US lawsuit
expenses, audit fees and other corporate head office-related expenses.

   Cash flow and liquidity

At December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $71.0 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 our all of our core businesses during
the quarter, and to a lesser extent due to the cash conservation resulting from the sale of loss-incurring businesses, offset by
provisional tax payments 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. Capital expenditures for Q2 2015 and 2014 were $9.1
million and $6.8 million, respectively, and have increased primarily due to the acquisition of more payment processing
terminals in South 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 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. 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 and earnings per share.

   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.
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.

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.
