"Today I'm excited to present our fourth quarter and full year 2018 financial results and share several operating highlights. This year we demonstrated outstanding performance, especially in our Payment Services business, which delivered 31% segment net revenue growth and 26% segment net profit growth, with growth rates accelerating throughout the year and significantly improving as compared to the trends we saw in 2016 and 2017. Moreover, we have reached an important milestone surpassing RUB 1 trillion in payment volume of our payment services business this year. I would like to highlight that the reacceleration of our payment services business was driven largely by the development of numerous new use cases that are well fitted to serve our users, merchants and partners including betting merchants, self-employed and sharing economy partners. Our growth was simultaneously underpinned by secular trends in our key markets demonstrating the adaptability and resilience of the payment ecosystem we have developed and will continue to develop further," said Sergey Solonin, QIWI's chief executive officer. "As we continued to benefit from the strong performance of the Payment Services segment, which remains a core part of our business, generating substantial cash flows, I believe we are well positioned to pursue our strategy and carry on our investments in the new business lines and projects. This being said, I am glad to confirm that this year we have completed the transactions with Otkritie in respect of both Tochka and Rocketbank. I believe that both projects have unique proprietary product offerings and expertise, and have a significant potential to enrich our ecosystem. This year we have built a strong foundation for future growth, we are well positioned to continue building up our ecosystem, diversifying our operations, increasing the life cycle of our clients with an ultimate goal of securing the long-term growth prospects of our Company."

PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 4,118 million ($59.3 million), an increase of 37% compared with RUB 3,005 million in the prior year. PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by a volume growth in the E-commerce and Money Remittance market verticals underpinned by an improvement in Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield resulting from the shift in product mix.

The growth resulted primarily from the increase in the number of clients and corresponding expansion of the operations of the Tochka multi-bank project. As of December 31, 2018 the operations of the Tochka project have not yet been transferred to the new entity, established by us together with Bank "Otkritie", thus the revenues generated by the Tochka project were fully recognized for the fourth quarter 2018 consistent with the previous quarters. Starting February1, 2019 we will stop recognizing certain portion of Tochka project revenue associated with the information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank as operations of Tochka project will be transferred to our associate - JSC Tochka.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,473 million ($21.2 million), an increase of 53% compared with RUB 965 million in the prior year. The adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by Total Adjusted Net Revenue growth offset by an increase in payroll and related taxes (excluding effect of share based payments) to RUB 1,248 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 as compared to RUB 781 million for same period in the prior year resulting from a significant personnel expense increase in connection with the development of the Tochka project and transfer of Rocketbank to QIWI as well as by an increase of SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses growth was primarily driven by: (i) increase of advertising, client acquisition and related expenses to RUB 810 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 as compared to RUB 332 million for same period in the prior year mostly due to expenses related to the SOVEST, Tochka and to a lesser extent Rocketbank projects; (ii) increase of compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments) to RUB 922 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 as compared to RUB 656 million for same period in the prior year resulting from a personnel expense growth in payment services segment, development of the SOVEST project and transfer of Rocketbank personnel to QIWI; (iii) increase in tax expenses, except income and payroll related taxes to RUB 231 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 as compared to RUB 101 million for same period in the prior year offset by a decrease of other administrative expenses from RUB 659 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 as compared to RUB 475 million for same period in 2018.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Payment Services Segment Net Profit was RUB 2,584 million ($37.2 million), an increase of 28% compared with RUB 2,013 million in the prior year driven by Payment Services Segment Net Revenue growth and slightly offset an increase in compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments) as well as income tax expense.

The Consumer Financial Services Segment Net Loss in the fourth quarter 2018 was RUB 538 million ($7.7 million) as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 647 million in the same period of prior year resulting from the expansion of operations of the SOVEST project and associated costs mostly related to consumer acquisition.

The Small and Medium Enterprises Net Loss was RUB 281 million ($4.0 million), an increase of 339% as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 64 million in the prior year. Such change primarily resulted from a loss on the establishment of the associate and share in loss of associates partially offset by the corresponding compensation of expenses from associate all recognized in connection with the transfer of Tochka operations to JCS Tochka that was established by QIWI, Otkritie Bank and Tochka management earlier in 2018 in the amount of RUB 124 million as well as an increase in payroll, compensation to employees and related taxes expenses and client acquisition and advertising expenses partially offset by an increase of the Small and Medium Enterprises Segment Net Revenue.

Rocketbank Segment Net Loss was RUB 584 million ($8.4 million), an increase of 89% compared with the net loss of RUB 309 million in the prior year primarily driven by expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and roll out of the operations of Rocketbank in QIWI.

Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield  was 1.25%, an increase of 5 bps compared with 1.20% in the prior year primarily driven to the shift of the product mix towards higher yielding E-commerce volumes offset by a slight decrease of average net revenue yields across key market verticals including E-commerce, Money Remittance and Financial Services.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of assets of Tochka and Rocketbank: In August 2017, we have executed a series of transactions to acquire the brands, software and hardware of Tochka, a digital banking service focused on offering a broad range of services to small and medium businesses and Rocketbank, a digital banking service offering debit cards and deposits to retail customers, from Otkritie Bank.

After the prolonged negotiations with the management of the Otkritie Bank on June 7 2018, QIWI, Otkritie Bank and Tochka management team have signed a partnership agreement to establish a new entity to collectively develop Tochka business as a multi-banking platform. Consequently, on July 4 2018, JCS Tochka was established. As of December 31, 2018 the Tochka multi-bank project has not yet been transferred to the new entity and the revenues of the Tochka project were fully recognized in QIWI for the full year 2018. JSC Tochka has commenced its business operations on February 1st, 2019. As of the date of this report, we have transferred the majority of operations, contracts and personnel to JSC Tochka and we aim to finish the transfer by the end of the second quarter of 2019. We will further account JSC Tochka as an equity accounted associate. Starting from February 1st, 2019 we recognize only certain parts of Tochka project revenues related to providing services to Tochka clients that have their accounts with QIWI Bank.

Further, in July 2018 we have reached the final agreements with Otkritie Bank in respect of the Rocketbank transaction. Pursuant to these agreements, the Group acquired 100% of Rocketbank's business on the terms materially equivalent to those originally agreed. Accordingly, we have begun the process of transferring Rocketbank customers to QIWI bank on July 25, 2018. As of the date of this report, we have fully completed the transfer of Rocketbank customers, personnel and business processes to QIWI Bank and began to present Rocketbank as a separate reporting segment.

Dividend: Considering our expectations about the performance of the Group as well as our anticipated level of investments in 2019 and aiming to provide more transparency and predictability in respect of our dividend distribution practices, the Board of Directors approved a target dividend payout ratio for 2019. In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, the Company aims to distribute between 65% to 85% of its adjusted net profit for 2019 starting from the first quarter 2019. 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 range provided, though the payout ratios for each of the quarters may vary and be outside of this range. It remains the long-term intention of the Company to distribute all excess cash to the shareholders.

2019 Guidance2

QIWI provides its guidance in respect of 2019 outlook:

  • Total Adjusted Net Revenue is expected to increase by 0% to 8% over 2018;
  • Adjusted Net Profit is expected to increase by 15% to 25% over 2018;
  • Payment Services Segment Net Revenue is expected to increase by 10% to 18% over 2018;
  • Payment Services Segment Net Profit is expected to increase by 8% to 16% over 2018.

For the purpose of the guidance in respect of 2019 outlook we would like to outline the following considerations:
We will stop recognizing the portion of Tochka revenues associated with information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank for providing services to Tochka clients that have their accounts with Otkritie Bank starting from February 1, 2019 following the transfer of the Tochka operations to JSC Tochka. Such revenues were recognized in full for the full year 2018; however, they will only be recognized for one month in 2019. For the avoidance of doubt, only the revenues related to Tochka clients that have their accounts with QIWI bank will be recognized as QIWI group revenues in 2019. We will correspondingly account JCS Tochka as an equity associate going further.

We believe that the financial results of Rocketbank as well as underlying business trends and targets for this segment will not materially change throughout the year and will be in line with the first half of 2019, thus we include associated full year forecasts in our guidance. However, we reserve the right to adjust the Rocketbank strategy and corresponding financial forecasts for the segment throughout the year based on the results of our review of Rocketbank strategy.

The Company reserves the right to revise guidance in the course of the year.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Information

This release presents 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, which are non-IFRS financial measures.

(3) Cost of PS Payment Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of transaction costs to acquire payments from our customers payable to agents, mobile operators, international payment systems and other parties.
(4) The Company does not record the compensation to employees and related taxes within cost of revenue separately for PS Payment Revenue and PS Other Revenue; therefore, it has been allocated between PS Payment Revenue and PS Other Revenue in proportion to the relevant revenue amounts for the purposes of the reconciliation presented above.
(5) PS Other Revenue primarily consists of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, rent of space for kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising.
(6) Cost of PS Other Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of direct costs associated with other revenue and other costs, including but not limited to: compensation to employees and related taxes allocated to PS Other Revenue and costs of call-centers and advertising commissions.
(7) Amortization of fair value adjustments primarily includes the effect of the acquisition of control in Contact and Rapida.
(8) The Forex loss on SPO funds as presented in the reconciliation of Net Profit to Adjusted Net Profit differs from the Foreign exchange loss and Foreign exchange gain in the reconciliation of Net Profit to Adjusted EBITDA as the latter includes all the foreign exchange losses/(gains) for the period, while the former only include the foreign exchange loss/(gain) on the US dollar amount, which we received at SPO.

(1) Calculated using a ruble to U.S. dollar exchange rate of RUB 69.4706 to U.S. $1.00, which was the official exchange rate quoted by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation as of December 31, 2018.
(2) PS Payment Revenue represents payment processing fees, which primarily consists of the merchant and consumer fees charged for the payment transactions.
(3) Cost of PS Payment Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of transaction costs to acquire payments from our customers payable to agents, mobile operators, international payment systems and other parties.
(4) The Company does not record the compensation to employees and related taxes within cost of revenue separately for PS Payment Revenue and PS Other Revenue; therefore, it has been allocated between PS Payment Revenue and PS Other Revenue in proportion to the relevant revenue amounts for the purposes of the reconciliation presented above.
(5) PS Other Revenue primarily consists of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, rent of space for kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising.
(6) Cost of PS Other Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of direct costs associated with other revenue and other costs, including but not limited to: compensation to employees and related taxes allocated to PS Other Revenue and costs of call-centers and advertising commissions.
(7) Amortization of fair value adjustments primarily includes the effect of the acquisition of control in Contact and Rapida.
(8) The Forex loss on SPO funds as presented in the reconciliation of Net Profit to Adjusted Net Profit differs from the Foreign exchange loss and Foreign exchange gain in the reconciliation of Net Profit to Adjusted EBITDA as the latter includes all the foreign exchange losses/(gains) for the period, while the former only include the foreign exchange loss/(gain) on the US dollar amount, which we received at SPO.
