Factors impacting comparability of our Q3 2015 and Q3 2014 results
- Unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the USD against the ZAR: The USD appreciated by 8% against the
ZAR during Q3 2015, which negatively impacted our reported results;
- Increased contribution by KSNET: Our results were positively impacted by growth in our Korean operations and a
refund of $1.7 million that had been paid several years ago in connection with industry-wide litigation that has now
been finalized;
- Increase in the number of SASSA grants paid: Our revenue and operating income have 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 Q3 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
“I continue to be very positive about the future of our Group as we continue to diversify our business activities to minimize
the risks that are intrinsic in customer concentration, government contracts and localized business conditions,” said Dr. Serge
Belamant, Chairman and CEO of Net1. “This was our overarching strategic objective and it is a testament of our staff’s
competence and dedication that we were able to achieve this goal whilst continuing to grow our revenue and profitability,” 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 are increasing our expected fundamental earnings per share for fiscal 2015 to at least $2.38, assuming a constant
currency base of ZAR10.40/$1 and a share count of 46.5 million shares,” he concluded.
Update on SASSA tender process
As ordered by the South African Constitutional Court in its April 2014 ruling, SASSA initiated a new tender process for a
five-year contract relating to the payment of social grants by issuing an initial Request for Proposal (“RFP“) in October 2014.
Following a detailed analysis of the tender specifications, we concluded that the tender specifications were not sufficiently
clear regarding a number of critical points and failed to comply with the RFP requirements specified in the Court’s ruling
and, in November 2014, we applied to the Court for an order setting aside the RFP and directing SASSA to issue a corrected
RFP. Although the Court did not set aside the RFP, it did order SASSA to issue a draft amended RFP. SASSA issued
amended RFPs on two separate occasions (in December 2014 and February 2015). We continued to object to deficiencies in
the amended RFPs and made further applications to the Court setting forth our objections. In February 2015, SASSA applied
to the Court for an extension of time to address our objections.
In orders dated March 19 and 24, 2015, the Court ordered SASSA to effect further amendments to the RFP to address our
objections. The Court ordered that, absent further objections (1) SASSA must circulate a further amended draft RFP by April
17, 2015; (2) all bids must be submitted by May 17, 2015 and (3) SASSA shall award the new tender by October 15, 2015.
The Court’s April 2014 ruling does not require SASSA to award a new tender, though we expect that any decision not to
make an award would be subject to judicial review and scrutiny. On April 17, 2015, SASSA issued and circulated an
amended RFP to all prospective bidders. The amended RFP specifies that bidders must submit their proposals to SASSA on
or before May 18, 2015 and also states that no part of the contents of the RFP may be used, copied, disclosed or conveyed in
whole or in part to any party in any manner whatsoever other than for the purpose of the proposal.
We are currently analyzing the RFP to determine whether it is in the best interest of the Company to participate in the tender
process or to focus on our other financial services businesses without being a contractor to SASSA. We have not yet made a
final determination but expect to do so by the tender deadline. In any event, we cannot predict what the timing or ultimate
outcome of the tender process will be, or if a new tender award will be made at all after the process is complete.
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 $58.0 million in Q3 2015, up 1% compared with Q3 2014 in USD and up 9% 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 Q3 2015 and Q3
2014 was 23% and 16%, 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 Q3 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 Zazoo start-up costs in the UK and India related to the establishment of
payment solutions and transaction processing operations in these territories, 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 $38.3 million in
Q3 2015, up 9% compared with Q3 2014 in USD and 17% on a constant currency basis. Revenue increased primarily due to
higher transaction volume at KSNET during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Operating income during Q3 2015 was higher
due to increase in revenue contribution from KSNET, but partially offset by Zazoo start-up costs in the UK and India.
Operating income and margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, was also positively impacted by a refund of approximately
$1.7 million that had been paid several years ago in connection with industry-wide litigation that has now been finalized.
Operating income margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014 was 17% and 13%, respectively, and was higher in
fiscal 2015 primarily due to the refund referred to above.
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 $66.8 million in Q3 2015, up 19% compared with Q3 2014 in USD and 28% 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. Segment
operating income margin in Q3 2015 and Q3 2014 was 27% and 29%, 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 March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $111.0 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 all of our core businesses, 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 Q3 2015 and 2014 were $6.3
million and $4.8 million, respectively, and have increased primarily due to the acquisition of more payment processing
terminals in South Korea and rollout of 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. 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.
