Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was RUB 2,821 million ($46.5 million), an increase of 6% compared with RUB 2,659 million in the prior year.
Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 2,389 million ($39.4 million), an increase of 21% compared with RUB 1,971 million in the prior year. Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by an improvement in yields across all market verticals resulting largely from shift in product mix as well as volume growth in the Money Remittance and E-commerce market vertical partially offset by a decrease in payment volumes in the Telecom, Other and Financial Services market verticals.
Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue and gain from currency swaps and overdrafts provided to agents, revenue from rent of space for kiosks, cash and settlement services and advertising, was RUB 432 million ($7.1 million), a decrease of 37% compared with RUB 688 million in the prior year. The decline in the fourth quarter was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, cash and settlement services, advertising revenue and revenue from sale of kiosks slightly offset by increase in interest revenue. Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 were RUB 228 million ($3.8 million) compared with RUB 397 million in the prior year primarily due to effect of change in the Company’s approach towards recognition of revenue for unclaimed payments. Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments decreased 30% compared with the same period in the prior year.
Total Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 15% compared with the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,260 million ($20.8 million), an increase of 4% compared with RUB 1,217 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increase was largely driven by an increase in Adjusted Net Revenue offset by slightly higher SG&A expense due to increase in personnel expenses (excluding effect of share based payments) to RUB 423 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 as compared to RUB 361 million for same period in the prior year and office maintenance expenses in connection with the launch of a new project SOVEST. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 44.7% compared with 45.8% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was RUB 1,032 million ($17.0 million), an increase of 26% compared with RUB 820 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 39.8% compared with 36.3% in the prior year.
Adjusted Net Profit: For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 940 million ($15.5 million), an increase of 9% compared with RUB 860 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA as well as recognition of an income tax credit of RUB 34 million in fourth quarter 2016 as opposed to the income tax expense of RUB 139 million for the same period in the prior year and decrease of foreign exchange loss1 generated in the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted Net Profit excluding fees for inactive accounts and unused balances (net of tax) increased 40% compared with the prior year.
Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, total payment volume was RUB 231.1 billion ($3.8 billion), a decrease of 1% compared with RUB 234.1 billion in the prior year. Dynamics of payment volume was driven by mixed trends across market verticals with growth in Money Remittances market vertical resulting largely from secular growth in card to card transfers and E-commerce market vertical offset by declining volumes across Telecom, Other and to a lesser extent Financial Services market verticals. Payment average net revenue yield was 1.03%, an increase of 19 bps compared with 0.84% in the prior year primarily due to the shift of the revenue mix towards higher yielding services.
Total average Net Revenue Yield was 1.22%, an increase of 8 bps as compared with 1.14% in the prior year. Total average Net Revenue Yield excluding the effect of fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 1.12%, an increase of 16 bps as compared with the same period in the prior year.
Full-Year 2016 Results
Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was RUB 10,611 million ($174.9 million), an increase of 4% compared with RUB 10,228 million in the prior year.
Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 8,510 million ($140.3 million), an increase of 13% compared with RUB 7,522 million in the prior year. Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by an increase in payment volume in E-commerce and Money Remittances market verticals as well as net revenue yields improvement in certain market verticals, especially Money Remittances, resulting from product mix shifts towards higher yielding services, that was in turn partially offset by the declining volumes in Telecom and Other market verticals.
Other Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 2,101 million ($34.6 million), a decrease of 22% compared with RUB 2,706 million in the prior year. Revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was RUB 1,290 million ($21.3 million) in 2016 compared to RUB 1,113 million in the prior year due to the same reasons discussed for the fourth quarter including changes of the write-off policy offset by the effect of change in the Company’s approach towards recognition of revenue for unclaimed payments. Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments decreased 49% compared with the same period in the prior year.
Total Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 2% compared with the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA: For the year ended December 31, 2016, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 6,035 million ($99.5 million), an increase of 7% compared with RUB 5,640 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA growth was mainly driven by revenue growth and operating leverage in the business. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 56.9% compared with 55.1% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was RUB 4,745 million ($78.2 million), an increase of 5% compared with RUB 4,527 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 50.9% compared with 49.7% in the prior year.
Adjusted Net Profit: For the year ended December 31, 2016, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 4,714 million ($77.7 million), an increase of 14% compared with RUB 4,142 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA as well as lower income tax expense as compares to the previous year. Adjusted Net Profit excluding fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments (net of tax) increased 13% compared with the prior year.
Other Operating Data: For the year ended December 31, 2016, total payment volume was RUB 847.0 billion ($14.0 billion), a decrease of 2% compared with RUB 860.3 billion in the prior year. Payment volume was driven by mixed dynamics with increases in E-commerce, Money remittances and Financial Services offset by decreasing volumes in Telecom and Other market verticals as the result of the decline in our kiosk network. Average payment net revenue yield was 1.00%, an increase of 13 bps compared with 0.87% in the prior year primarily due to product mix shifts towards higher yielding services.
The total average Net Revenue Yield was 1.25%, an increase of 6 bps as compared with 1.19% in the prior year. The total average Net Revenue Yield excluding the effect of inactivity fees was 1.10%, an increase of 4 bps as compared with the same period in the prior year.
The number of active kiosks and terminals was 162,173 including Contact and Rapida physical points of service, a decrease of 6% compared with the prior year, primarily resulting from enhanced controls that the Central Bank of Russia has implemented over the agents. The number of active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts was 17.2 million as of the end of 2016, an increase of 1.1 million, or 7%, as compared with 16.1 million in 2015. The increase was driven mainly by development of core market verticals through connection of new merchants and better usability of services.
Recent Developments
Dividend: Following the determination of fourth quarter 2016 financial results our Board of Directors approved a dividend of USD 19 cents per share. The dividend record date is March 28, 2017, and the Company intends to pay the dividend on March 29, 2017. The holders of ADSs will receive the dividend shortly thereafter.
Dividend distributions for 2017 are subject to our future cash flow needs, including our cash requirements in connection with our new projects or otherwise.
Regulation by the Central Bank of Russia: Our kiosk network in Russia was affected by the enhanced controls that the Central Bank of Russia has implemented to ensure compliance by the agents with legislation that requires them to remit their proceeds to special accounts, as disclosed in our Form 6-K filed on November 2, 2015.
Although through reducing the size of our network, this adversely affects the availability and convenience of our services to consumers in the short-term, we continue to believe that increased transparency in the kiosk market will ultimately allow us to improve our market share and strengthen our competitive advantages.
SOVEST: In late 2016, we launched a payment-by-installments card program under the SOVEST brand. SOVEST is a new consumer oriented product developed to help customers get easy, convenient and transparent access to funds and purchase goods and services from partner merchants in the most beneficial way.
As of December 31, 2016 operating results of the project were not significant as it was launched on November 22, 2016 and the roll out program started on January 23, 2017.
We will provide key operating metrics for SOVEST project starting first quarter 2017.
Acquisition of Flocktory: On March 22, 2017, QIWI entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 80% ownership of Flocktory LTD, a SaaS platform for customer lifecycle management and personalization. The company’s business is focused primarily on the development of automated marketing solutions for the e-commerce, financial, media and travel industries, which are based on data collection and analysis. Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, QIWI has agreed to pay RUB 832.8 million in exchange for 80% shares of Flocktory LTD on a fully diluted basis. The remaining 20% ownership in Flocktory LTD remains with the founders and key employees of Flocktory.
2017 Guidance2
QIWI provides its guidance in respect of 2017 outlook:
- Total Adjusted Net Revenue is expected to increase by 2% to 5% over 2016 including the effect of acquisition; We expect no material contribution to Total Adjusted Net Revenue from SOVEST project.
- Adjusted Net Profit excluding SOVEST expenses is expected to increase by 2% to 5% over 2016 including the effect of acquisition;
Adjusted Net Profit including SOVEST expenses is expected to decline by 25% to 35% over 2016.
The overall macroeconomic conditions continue to adversely affect the purchasing power and overall consumer sentiment of Russian population. This leads to the overall decrease in consumer spending and consequently our payment volumes across some of our market verticals.
We have also noted negative trends in Money Remittance weak migration trends. We anticipate that downward trends and weaker demand for money remittance services can negatively affect our volumes and revenues in this category.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Information
This release presents Total Adjusted Net Revenue, Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, Other Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Net Profit per share, which are non-IFRS financial measures. You should not consider these non-IFRS financial measures as substitutes for or superior to revenue, in the case of Total Adjusted Net Revenue, Payment Adjusted Net Revenue and Other Adjusted Net Revenue; Net Profit, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA; and Adjusted Net Profit, or earnings per share, in the case of Adjusted Net Profit per share, each prepared in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, because these non-IFRS financial measures are not determined in accordance with IFRS, they are susceptible to varying calculations and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. QIWI encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For more information regarding Total Adjusted Net Revenue, Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, Other Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Profit, and Adjusted Net Profit per share, including a quantitative reconciliation of Total Adjusted Net Revenue, Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, Other Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit to the most directly comparable IFRS financial performance measure, which is revenue in the case of Total Adjusted Net Revenue, payment revenue in the case of Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, other revenue in the case of Other Adjusted Net Revenue and net profit in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit, see Reconciliation of IFRS to Non-IFRS Operating Results in this earnings release.

| (1) Payment volumes, payment adjusted net revenue by vertical and payment average net revenue yields presented for the respective period in 2015 differ from the data previously published, including as presented in our 20-F and our quarterly earnings releases, and reflect adjustments made to the methodology of payment volumes and payment adjusted net revenues recognition and allocation between market verticals including the following changes: (i) adjustment to methodology in QIWI Kazakhstan to conform with the methodology used in QIWI’s Russian operations and corresponding reallocation of Kazakhstan payment volumes and payment adjusted net revenues to appropriate market verticals; (ii) adjustment to methodology of revenue and cost allocation between categories and corresponding reallocation of certain commissions and costs between market verticals; (iii) change in methodology of accounting for transactions in foreign currencies and corresponding revaluation of certain volumes, costs and revenues; (iv) change in methodology of Contact and Rapida volume recognition in ongoing effort to bring methodology in line with QIWI’s processes and procedures (see also Note (4) below). The adjustments made reduced total volumes for the period starting October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 by RUB 5.4 billion and affected the allocation of payment adjusted net revenue between market verticals. The updated methodology is applied starting fourth quarter 2016 with all previous data revised retrospectively. | |||||||
| (2) Calculated using a ruble to U.S. dollar exchange rate of RUB 60.6569 to U.S. $1.00, which was the official exchange rate quoted by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation as of December 31, 2016. | |||||||
| (3) Payment volume by market verticals and consolidated payment volume consist of the amounts paid by our customers to merchants or other customers included in each of those market verticals less intra-group eliminations. The methodology of payment volumes allocation between different market verticals in Contact and Rapida may differ from the methodology used by QIWI. We therefore retain the right to restate the presented volumes, net revenues and net revenue yields data in case the methodology of Contact and Rapida will be brought in conformity with the methodology used by QIWI. | |||||||
| (4) In 2016 we introduced consumer commissions for certain types of P2P (wallet to wallet) transactions including cross currency transactions and transactions above certain limits. Corresponding volumes and payment adjusted net revenues are accounted for in our Money Remittances market vertical and amounted to RUB 8.8 billion and RUB 102 million respectively for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. | |||||||
| (5) Payment Adjusted Net Revenue is calculated as the difference between Payment Revenue and Cost of payment revenue (excluding D&A) plus compensation to employees and related taxes allocated to payment revenue. Payment Revenue primarily consists of merchant and consumer fees. Cost of payment revenue primarily consists of commission to agents. | |||||||
| (6) 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. | |||||||
| (7) 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. | |||||||

The adjustments made reduce total volumes for the period starting January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 by RUB 12.3 billion and materially effects the distribution of payment adjusted net revenue between market verticals. The updated methodology is applied starting fourth quarter 2016 with all previous data revised retrospectively. | |||||||
