Kaspi.kz Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Financial Results

Almaty, Kazakhstan, 1 March 2021 - JSC Kaspi.kz ("Kaspi.kz", "we", or the "Company") which operates the Kaspi.kz Super App, Kazakhstan's leading mobile Super App, today publishes its audited consolidated IFRS financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending 31 December, 2020.

Key highlights

-- Super App MAU up 59% to 9.1 million, DAU up 155% to 4.9 million. Average monthly transactions per active consumer increased 1.9x to reach a record 28.0 transactions.

-- Adj. 2020 net income of KZT274,318 million [1] ahead of November 2020 guidance of 'around KZT270 billion'. Every IPO KPI delivered upon or exceeded.

-- In 2020 we have had an even greater strategic focus on innovation for merchants than ever before. Kaspi Pay PoS Solutions has emerged as a breakout product. 38% of all Kaspi Gold in-store PoS transactions migrated to Kaspi Pay in December 2020.

-- Kaspi QR Scan & Pay reached 64% of all acquiring transactions on Kaspi Pay PoS devices due to remarkable adoption of QR payments by both consumers and merchants.

-- In the fourth quarter of 2020 share of adj. net income coming from our Payments and Marketplace Platforms reached 46%.

-- Proposed dividend of around KZT171 billion to be paid in April 2021, subject to shareholder approval.

-- User and financial momentum since the start of the current year has been strong and for full-year 2021 we expect adj. net income to be around KZT410 billion.

-- In 2021 we expect the majority of net income to come from faster growing Payments and Marketplace Platforms.

Mikhail Lomtadze, Kaspi.kz CEO and co-founder, commented:

"In 2020 user momentum at Kaspi.kz remained phenomenal, with every one of our platforms either delivering upon or exceeding the detailed KPI's we set out during our IPO. In turn this resulted in another set of excellent financial results, with adjusted net income of KZT274 billion above guidance of around KZT270 billion that we communicated last November. In addition, I'm delighted that our Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of around KZT171 billion.

Despite the unpredictable backdrop, 2020 was another year in which Kaspi.kz continued to transform rapidly in order to meet the digital needs of consumers and merchants in Kazakhstan. During the year Super App MAU increased to 9.1 million, up significantly from 5.7 million in 2019, with engagement levels once again hitting record highs. DAU increased to 4.9 million, an increase of more than 150% year-over-year. Our earnings mix also continued to diversify quickly during the year, with 46% of adj. net income now from our Payments and Marketplace Platforms, up from 28% in the first quarter of 2020. Full year 2020 adj. net income growth of 43% year-over-year, a net income margin of 43% and substantial cash return to shareholders demonstrates that our business model can deliver not only growth at scale but do so in a way that is highly profitable and cash generative.

Kaspi.kz's success is a direct result of our unrelenting focus on high quality digital innovation and in 2020 we released more product than ever before. Kaspi QR Scan & Pay, Kaspi Travel and a range of in-app government services were some of our most important consumer targeted products launched last year. However, 2020 was also pivotal for the Kaspi Ecosystem, with an even greater strategic focus on innovation for merchants. Kaspi Pay PoS Solutions has emerged as a breakout product, accounting for 38% of all Kaspi Gold in-store PoS transactions in December 2020 despite having only been launched earlier in the year, with Kaspi QR Scan & Pay accounting for a majority of acquiring transactions on our devices. Rapid take-up of Kaspi Pay led to an 182% year-over-year increase in Payments Platform merchants during the quarter ending 31 December 2020 and the real benefit of this will be magnified in 2021 as new merchants shift a growing share of their payment volumes to Kaspi Pay.

Digitalisation is a multi-year structural growth opportunity and we're in it for the long run. The combination of scale with both consumers and merchants, joined by our own proprietary network puts Kaspi.kz in a completely unique position. With this in mind we will maintain a singular focus on continuing to expand our ecosystem by making new innovative digital products evermore discoverable through the Kaspi.kz Super App.

In 2021 our no.1 goal is to accelerate the adoption of Kaspi Pay and Kaspi QR. We are also developing new digital tools to enable our Marketplace to significantly expand the breadth and depth of its merchant proposition. By working hand-in-hand with merchants, we will accelerate their growth, create value for consumers and continue to play a leading role in Kazakhstan's digital transformation. For shareholders the result should be accelerating top-line growth and increasing profitability, with the businesses cash generation capacity as strong as ever.

We have started 2021 with more reasons for consumers and merchants to use the Kaspi.kz Ecosystem than has been the case previously. User and financial trends remain strong and for the first time ever, we now expect that this year the majority of our adj. net income will come from our faster growing Payments and Marketplace Platforms.

We have many plans to continue building on our success and remain extremely optimistic about the future. Taking this all into account we currently expect adj. net income of around KZT410 billion in 2021".

Kaspi.kz Super App user and engagement levels reached all-time highs

MAU up 59% to 9.1 million, DAU up 155% to 4.9 million, avg. 28 transactions per consumer/month

Kaspi.kz's Super App serves as single gateway to our Ecosystem and gives our Payments, Marketplace and Fintech Platforms leading market positions and unrivalled competitive advantages. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Super App user and engagement levels reached all-time highs. Kaspi.kz Super App MAU (Monthly Active Users) increased by 59% year-over-year during the quarter ending 31 December 2020 to reach 9.1 million.

Highly discoverable digital products and services ensure the Kaspi.kz Super App becomes ever more integral to consumers' daily lives. DAU (Daily Active Users) increased 155% year-over-year, a substantially faster rate than MAU. The ratio of DAU to MAU reached 54%, up from 33% during the quarter ending 31 December 2019, which is amongst the highest levels of user engagement of any leading Super App globally.

Engagement is closely tied to one of our most important strategic objectives, namely, to facilitate digital transactions across all areas of the typical household budget. Average monthly transactions per active consumer increased by 89% year-over-year to 28.0 from 14.8 for the quarter ending 31 December 2019.

Kaspi.kz is now almost entirely a mobile app only Ecosystem, with 92% of transactions taking place through our Super App in December 2020, compared to 80% in December 2019.

We launched our merchant focused Kaspi Pay Super App in summer 2020 and have been rapidly onboarding merchants during the second half of 2020. By December 2020 Kaspi Pay accounted for 38% of Kaspi Gold in-store PoS transactions in Kazakhstan, which is a dramatic shift in the country's acquiring landscape and perfectly illustrates the disruptive power of the Kaspi.kz Ecosystem. On Kaspi Pay, our consumers have quickly embraced Kaspi QR Scan & Pay which accounted for 64% of transactions in December 2020.

Kaspi.kz 4Q & full-year 2020 financial highlights

Payments and Marketplace accounted for 46% of adj. net income in 4Q20

During the fourth quarter of 2020, total revenue demonstrated 20% year-over-year growth to reach KZT180,578 million. For the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 revenue reached KZT641,437 million [2] , equivalent to adj. 26% year-over-year growth. Top-line growth was powered by our Payments Platform which delivered high and consistent growth throughout the year, e-Commerce within Marketplace and in the second half of the year improving trends in our m-Commerce segment as street retail continued to reopen.

For the quarter ending 31 December 2020, adj. net income increased 44% year-over-year to KZT89,935 million. For the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 adj. net income reached KZT274,318 million, equivalent to 43% year-over-year growth. [3]

Adj. net income margin increased to 49.8% from 41.3% for the quarter ending 31 December 2019 and increased to 42.8% from 37.5% for the twelve months ending 31 December 2019. Our profitability has benefitted from material cost savings as we have transitioned payment volumes away from third-party network providers to our own proprietary payments network, improving cost of risk year-over-year and the operating leverage inherent in our business model.

Our net income mix continues to transform rapidly and for the quarter ending 31 December 2020 our faster growing Payments and Marketplace Platforms accounted for 46% of net income. For the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 Payments and Marketplace Platforms accounted for 37% of consolidated net income, up from 29% in the same period in 2019.

In 2020 our cash generation capacity remained as strong as ever. As has been the case in previous years we seek to maintain a 50bps buffer above local NBK capital adequacy requirements but thereafter are committed to returning excess cash to shareholders. Our Board of Directors has proposed a first dividend of KZT171billion in 2021 to be paid in April, subject to shareholder approval. This follows two dividend payments totaling KZT175 billion paid in 2020.

2020 guidance exceeded

2020 adj. net income of KZT274bn above guidance of 'around KZT270bn'

In 2020 user momentum remained strong and every one of our platforms either delivered upon or exceeded the detailed KPI's we set out during our IPO. In turn this resulted in adj. net income of KZT274,318 million, above guidance of 'around KZT270bn' that we communicated at our third quarter results in November, which in turn was above the guidance we provided at first half financial results just prior to the launch of our IPO.

Payments Platform

TPV up 177% YoY, revenue up 82% & adj. net income up 126% in 2020

Our Payments Platform has always offered consumers a highly convenient way to shop, pay bills and make P2P payments via the Kaspi.kz Super App. As has been the case globally, COVID-19 has accelerated consumer adoption of contactless mobile payments and our focus now is on helping consumers and merchants emerge stronger from the pandemic. We continue to scale at a rapid rate with Kaspi Pay emerging as major disruptive force, becoming the digital payments platform of choice for all types of merchants in Kazakhstan.

Our Payments Platform is amongst our most important means to attract new consumers into the Kaspi.kz Ecosystem and increase engagement. Despite being the largest of our platforms by number of active consumers, Payments Platform consumer growth remained strong, up 58% year-over-year reaching 7.8 million active consumers in the final quarter of 2020.

Throughout 2020 payments volume growth remained rapid and resilient to changes in the economic backdrop. During the quarter ending 31 December 2020 Total Payment Value (TPV) increased by 161% year- over-year reaching KZT8.7 trillion. Revenue Generating TPV (RTPV) increased by 78% over the same period to reach KZT2.1 trillion, with strong and consistent trends across all our payments products. Cohort analysis illustrates that RTPV per consumer has increased 13.8x over 4 years and that both new and older consumers continue to see strong RTPV growth. With 86% of Payments Platform consumers coming from our 2018, 2019 and 2020 cohorts we expect strong RTPV growth into the mid-term.

Payments Platform revenue increased by 69% year-over-year reaching KZT38,317 million during the quarter ending 31 December 2020 and 82% year-over-year to KZT120,923 million for the twelve months ending 31 December 2020. Take-rate in 2020 remained stable year-over-year at 1.3%.

For the quarter ending 31 December 2020 Payments Platform adj. net income increased by 105% year-over-year to KZT21,341 million and for the twelve months ending 31 December Payments adj. net income increased 126% year-over-year to KZT63,004 million, with net income profitability of 52.1% up significantly from 42.0% in 2019. Payments Platform profitability continues to benefit from cost savings as we transition payment volumes away from third-party network providers to our own proprietary payments network, combined with the platforms inherent operating leverage.

By creating our own closed-loop proprietary payments network, eliminating the need for 3 rd party processors and payment networks, our Payments Platform enables us to offer a complete end-to-end customer experience. This unique and disruptive proposition, that combines consumers and merchants at scale, led Kaspi Pay PoS Solutions in-store acquiring to reach 38% of all Kaspi Gold PoS transactions in December 2020, up from 4 % in January 2020.

In the quarter ending 31 December 2020, the success of Kaspi Pay helped us accelerate merchant onboarding, up 182% year-over-year to 48.1K merchants. The real benefit of this will be seen in 2021 as new merchants shift a growing share of their volumes to Kaspi Pay.

In 2021 we will aggressively ramp-up merchant onboarding even further and expect this to 1) drive substantial growth in RTPV per consumer, 2) a more diverse mix of Payments Platform revenue streams and 3) higher profitability as our own proprietary network disintermediates third party costs. With Kaspi Pay less than a year into its journey, we remain extremely positive about the outlook for our Payments Platform in 2021 and beyond.

Marketplace Platform

e-Commerce GMV up 106% YoY & take-rate up 60bps in 2020

Our Marketplace Platform connects both online and offline merchants with consumers, enabling merchants to increase their sales and consumers to buy a broad selection of products and services from a wide range of merchants. COVID-19 related restrictions on the operation of physical retail have led to significant changes in the shopping behaviour of consumers, and our Marketplace Platform with its leading market share in e-commerce and Kaspi Delivery solution has been perfectly positioned to meet shoppers and merchants rapidly evolving needs. As street retail opens up, our advantage is a single brand experience, irrespective of whether online or offline.

In 2020 Marketplace continued its rapid evolution in line with our strategic plan, namely; e-Commerce accounted for 46% of GMV in full-year 2020, up from 29% in 2019 and 94% of GMV was originated through the Kaspi.kz Super App up from 79% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Our merchant base, which is ultimately one of the most important drivers of consumer engagement, reached 32.1K in the quarter ending 31 December 2020, up 47% year-over-year. Cohort analysis suggest that GMV per consumer grows as product selection increases, with cohorts seeing a 2.2x increase in GMV/per consumer over 4 years. With 50% of Marketplace Platform consumers coming from our 2018, 2019 and 2020 cohorts, we continue to see very high GMV growth potential in to the mid-term.

Total Marketplace GMV reached KZT341 billion, representing an increase of 38% year-over-year for the quarter ending 31 December 2020. The growth of our GMV was driven by e-Commerce. During the fourth quarter of 2020, E-commerce Gross Merchandize Value (GMV) growth remained elevated at 77% year-over-year. M-commerce, our solution to digitalize shopping at offline merchants, experienced accelerating GMV growth to 57% year-over-year as street retail continued to reopen. However, Marketplace growth was slower when compared with 3Q 2020 due to the absence of our major promotional event Kaspi Juma in November 2020. In 4Q 2019 Juma accounted for 24% of Marketplace GMV and normalising for its absence, Marketplace GMV growth was 83% year-over-year in the quarter ending 31 December 2020, with growth of 184% and 84% from our e-Commerce and m-Commerce products respectively.

An 80bps year-over-year increase in take-rate to 8.8% in the quarter ending December 31 2020 resulted in Marketplace revenue growing faster than GMV and increasing 55% year-over-year to KZT30,806 million. For the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 Marketplace take-rate increased 60bps to 7.7% and revenue increased 47% year-over-year to KZT65,977 million. High take-rate categories that grew quickly in 2020 included home, garden & furniture, supermarkets and auto accessories.

For the quarter ending 31 December 2020 adj. net income reached KZT19,897 million, representing a 54% increase year-over-year with 4Q20 net income profitability stable at 64.6% compared with 65.1% in the quarter ending 31 December 2019. For the twelve months ending 31 December 2020 Marketplace adj. net income increased 40% year-over-year to KZT39,581 million, with net income profitability of 60% and broadly flat year-over-year despite substantial investments into our delivery offering, especially during 'lock-down'. In the quarter ending 31 December 2020 Kaspi Delivery was available in 73 cities, up from 54 in the previous year. Delivery volumes, whether delivered by Kaspi or merchants themselves, increased 142% year-over-year in the final quarter of 2020.

Going forward, we believe the addition of new merchants and a higher number of SKU's is one of the most important drivers of GMV/consumer and our long-term competitive advantage. In this regard, we see a substantial opportunity to accelerate merchant onboarding and are prioritising the development of innovative digital tools for merchants. With an enhanced merchant offering we expect to see a significant acceleration in Marketplace GMV growth in 2021.

Fintech Platform

TFV up 12% YoY in 4Q20; revenue up 14% & adj. net income up 27% YoY in 2020

Buy-now-pay-later reached 47% of origination in 4Q20 becoming our largest Fintech product

During the fourth quarter of 2020 Total Finance Value (TFV) returned to growth, increasing 12% year-over-year to KZT693 billion, in sharp contrast to the 14% and 62% declines in the third and second quarters of 2020 respectively. The short-term nature of all our financing and more specifically buy- now-pay-later (BNPL) products allows us to quickly ramp-up or scale back origination as we observe changes in the consumer environment. With this in mind monthly origination since September has been above pre-COVID-19 levels and TFV in December 2020 was the highest month of the year.

Our average net loan portfolio increased by 7% year-over-year, reaching KZT1.3 trillion for the quarter ending 31 December 2020. Overall loan portfolio growth despite a 9% year-over-year decline in origination reflects lower levels of early repayments than was the case prior to the start of the pandemic. However, with the consumer backdrop continuing to improve and our increased focus on short duration & low ticket BNPL origination we expect a significant uptick in portfolio conversion in 2021.

Yield increased to 32.6% from 32.2% during the year ending 31 December 2019 but declined to 31.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020 from 32.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Lower yield in the fourth quarter of 2020 reflected changes in the product mix, with general purpose consumer loans accounting for a lower share of TFV. Buy Now Pay Later accounted for 47% of origination in the final quarter of 2020, up from 39% in the final quarter of 2019 and our new Merchant and Micro Business Finance products accounted for 4% of TFV in 4Q20.

Our consumers enjoy the simplicity and convenience of BNPL and for our merchants BNPL is a highly effective tool to drive higher conversion and sales. As a result, we will continue strategically prioritising BNPL in 2021 and although this will mean a slightly lower Fintech yield, we expect this to be more than offset by the benefits of higher Marketplace transactions and GMV.

Fintech Platform active lending consumers reached 3.6 million during the quarter ending 31 December 2020, equivalent to an increase of 7% year-on-year. Growth in new active consumers is at a slower rate than in our Payments and Marketplace Platforms which in part reflected our more cautious approach to new lending for most of 2020. Active deposit consumers however increased 33% year-over-year as consumers increasingly transfer funds into the Kaspi.kz Ecosystem, fueling growth in our Payments and Marketplace Platforms and leaving us well positioned to fund higher TFV origination in 2021.

During the quarter ending 31 December 2020 our underlying credit related cost of risk improved to 1.8% from 2.6% in the final quarter of 2019. A 3.7% positive reversal for macro factors, resulted in a negative net cost of risk of 1.9% during the quarter. Improving cost of risk reflects the strength of our data driven real time risk management capabilities, which enable us to quickly adjust origination to reflect the changing economic reality, as well as our continuous efforts to improve the success of our collection processes. The reversal of macro factor adjustments made in the first half of 2020, reflects better than forecast economic trends and our excellent results collecting loans, delinquent more than 90 days. Consumer behaviour largely normalised and became more predictable in the final quarter of 2020 and this will likely continue to have positive implications for our cost of risk in 2021, which we target to be below 3%.

Fintech Platform revenue increased by 3% year-over-year reaching KZT111,454 million during the quarter ending 31 December 2020. For the twelve months ending December 2020 adj. revenue increased 14% year-over-year to KZT454,537 million. Slower top-line growth during the fourth quarter reflects lower levels of origination from April 2020 but will accelerate in 2021 as higher TFV origination since September contributes to revenue this year.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, our Fintech Platform's adj. net income increased by 25% year-over- year reaching net income of KZT48,697 million, with adj. net income margin reaching 43.7% from 36.0% in the quarter ending 31 December 2019. For the twelve months ending December 2020 adj. net income increased 27% year-over-year to KZT171,733 million with adj. net income margin reaching 37.8% from 33.9% in 2019. Improving profitability reflected favourable cost of risk trends and slightly higher yields year-over-year, combined with our increasing scalability as TFV origination has become almost entirely Super App only.

Fintech Return on Equity [4] reached 70.8% for the year ending 31 December 2020, up from 68.2% for the same period in 2019.

Assuming a more predictable macro-backdrop in 2021, we expect a substantial acceleration in TFV origination. Although we will continue to prioritise our BNPL product, approximately 10% of TFV growth will come from our recently launched merchant financing and SME Fintech products. Overall, we expect another strong year of profitability growth from our Fintech Platform in 2021.
