"I am very pleased with our solid first-quarter results," said Sergey Solonin, QIWI's chief executive officer. "Despite the general macroeconomic slowdown, we continued to deliver strong financial and operational results. We see plenty of opportunities ahead, especially in gaining market share in the key verticals, and will continue to focus on our core market verticals and execute our strategy."
First-Quarter 2015 Results
Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was RUB 2,515 million ($43.0 million), an increase of 34% compared with RUB 1,877 million in the prior year.
Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 1,840 million ($31.5 million), an increase of 35% compared with RUB 1,362 million in the prior year. Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by an increase in payment volume in the E-commerce and Money Remittances market verticals and net revenue yield in the E-commerce, Financial Services and Money Remittances market. Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was slightly offset by a decrease in payment volume in Financial Services and net revenue yield in the Telecom market vertical.
Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from inactivity fees, interest revenue and gain from currency swaps and overdrafts provided to agents, revenue from rent of space for kiosks and sale of kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising, was RUB 675 million ($11.5 million), an increase of 31% compared with RUB 515 million in the prior year. The growth in the first-quarter was mainly due to increase in revenue from sales of kiosks, interest revenue from deposits and overdrafts provided to agents, slightly offset by a decrease in gain from currency swaps.
Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,600 million ($27.4 million), an increase of 50% compared with RUB 1,068 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA growth was mainly driven by revenue growth and continued operating leverage in the business as well as bad debt recovery of RUB 67 million as compared to bad debt provision of RUB 62 million in the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 63.6% compared with 56.9% in the prior year.
Adjusted Net Profit: For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 1,117 million ($19.1 million), an increase of 42% compared with RUB 785 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA, with exception of transaction foreign exchange effect.
Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, total payment volume was RUB 158.4 billion ($2.7 billion), an increase of 6% compared with RUB 149.6 billion in the prior year. Payment volume increased across all verticals except for financial services which demonstrated a 26% decrease caused by the general situation in retail loans segment. Average payment net revenue yield was 1.16%, an increase of 25 bps compared with 0.91% in the prior year. The increase in payment volume and average payment net revenue yield in the first-quarter was mainly driven by strong growth in the E-commerce and Money Remittances market verticals.
The total average Net Revenue Yield was 1.59%, an increase of 33 bps as compared with 1.26% in the prior year.
The number of active kiosks and terminals was 177,448, an increase of 6% compared with the prior year. The number of active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts was 17.3 million in the first-quarter 2015, an increase of 1.7 million, or 11%, as compared with 15.6 million in the first-quarter 2014.
Recent Developments
Dividend: QIWI announces that following the determination of first-quarter 2015 financial results, its Board of Directors recommended a dividend of USD 25 cents per share. The dividend record date is 26 May 2015, and the Company intends to pay the dividend on 28 May, 2015. The holders of ADSs will receive the dividend shortly thereafter.
Acquisition of Contact and Rapida: As announced separately today, QIWI has entered into an agreement with Otkritie Financial Corporation to acquire 100% ownership of the Contact money transfer system and the Rapida payment processing system. Under the terms of the agreement, QIWI will issue 5,593,041 class B shares to Otkritie Financial Corporation in exchange for all of the outstanding interests in Contact and Rapida. The Company expects that the acquisition of Contact and Rapida will contribute between approximately 15% and 20% in annualized terms to both QIWI's adjusted net revenue and adjusted net profit acquisition in 2015 following closing, which is expected to occur in two installments by mid-September 2015, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
2015 Guidance1
QIWI reiterates its guidance in respect of 2015 outlook:
- Total Adjusted Net Revenue is expected to increase by 12% to 16% over 2014
- Adjusted Net Profit is expected to increase by 12% to 16% over 2014
We have started to note the effects of the macroeconomic slowdown in Russia in the second half of 2014 and especially in Q4, which we believe can be long lasting and could have a significant negative effect on both consumer spending and the banking system in Russia and, accordingly, on our business in the future. The extent of the slowdown, and if that were to result in a full scale banking crisis, is yet to be assessed. We, therefore, do not currently have enough visibility on our Total Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted Net Profit in 2015. We reiterate the 2015 guidance based on our current understanding of the macroeconomic situation, which is subject to change. We reserve the right to revisit our 2015 guidance in case we see the situation changing throughout the year. Expected growth of Adjusted Net Profit equals to the expected growth of Adjusted Net Revenue as a consequence of our desire and commitment to invest into new products and gain market share in 2015.

| (1) Calculated using a ruble to U.S. dollar exchange rate of RUB 58.4643 to U.S. $1.00, which the official exchange rate was quoted by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation as of March 31, 2015. | |||
| (2) Payment volume by market verticals and consolidated payment volume consist of the amounts paid by our customers to merchants included in each of those market verticals less intra-group eliminations. The methodology of payment volumes allocation between different market verticals in QIWI's international operations (including Kazakhstan) may differ from the methodology used by QIWI's Russian operations. We therefore retain the right to restate the presented volumes, net revenues and net revenue yields data in case the methodology of QIWI's international operations will be brought in conformity with the methodology of QIWI's Russian operations. | |||
| (3) Payment Adjusted Net Revenue is calculated as the difference between Payment Gross Revenue and Payment Costs. Payment Gross Revenue primarily consists of merchant and consumer fees. Payment Costs primarily consist of commission to agents. | |||
| (4) 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 amount of active kiosks and terminals for the last 30 days of the respective reporting period. | |||
| (5) Active Visa 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. | |||
