UEPS - Net 1 Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, May 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UEPS; JSE: NT1) today released results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Q3 2020 Highlights and Recent Developments:
- Sold KSNET for $237 million in March 2020 and DNI for $48 million in April 2020;
- At March 31, 2020 had unrestricted cash of $209 million and total debt of $3 million;
- Revenue of $36.5 million was flat year-over-year in US Dollars but grew 8% in constant currency;
- GAAP EPS of $(0.61) and Fundamental EPS of $(0.11); and
- Operating loss of $(14.2) million and adjusted EBITDA loss of $(6.4) million.
“Our focus continues to be on ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our employees, partners and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past few months, the pandemic and resulting lockdowns have impacted our ability to market to and acquire new customers as we had to suspend operations deemed non-essential across our branch network. Despite the disruptions and restrictions, I am proud of and thank our employees, who continue to serve our customers during this unprecedented time. Many of our South African processing businesses observed record daily transaction volumes during April, demonstrating the importance and relevance of our network. During this time, we also experienced 100% uptime for our core processing systems as well as developed and launched new products, such as our feature phone-based loan origination product to eliminate face-to-face interaction,” said Herman Kotzé, Net1’s CEO. “We believe we are positioned well to weather the short-term economic disruptions and will emerge from this pandemic even stronger as a business. We completed a number of corporate disposals over the past few months, which leaves the Company in a very strong and liquid position. We also believe that there will be significant demand for our products once the operating restrictions are lifted.”
“In South Africa, we intend to leverage our scale and distribution platforms to drive transaction processing, banking and financial and value-added services products as soon as the lockdown restrictions begin to ease. Though South Africa has moved from Severity Level 5 to Level 4 on May 1, 2020, economic activity is expected to increase once Severity Levels are lowered to 3 on June 1, 2020. Across Africa, we intend to increase cooperation with Carbon and V2 in order to drive expansion in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. For Europe, we have altered our strategy to partner with Bank Frick as well as other financial institutions and we expect to commence rolling out Ceevo’s products in the coming months, albeit cautiously at first, while Europe normalizes from the pandemic. Lastly, we look forward to engaging with Value Capital Partners to review Net1’s strategic objectives and capital allocation,” he added.
“The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic is still unknown, and therefore we believe it is prudent to withdraw our financial outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2020,” said Alex Smith, Net1’s CFO. “While our South African processing businesses experienced strong volumes during April, our inability to charge for certain of our services and operate parts of our financial services business during the lockdown period has had an adverse impact on our operations. If we are able to commence the marketing of our new financial and banking products prior to the end of fiscal 2020, we believe for the full year fiscal 2021, our adjusted-EBITDA should be modestly positive,” he concluded.
Sale of KSNET and DNI
- On March 9, 2020, we completed the sale of KSNET for approximately $237 million.
- On April 1, 2020 we completed the sale of our 27.4% remaining interest in DNI for approximately ZAR 860 million. A 24.3% equity stake in DNI was sold for a cash consideration of approximately ZAR 760 million (or $42.6 million); and the remaining 3.1% equity stake was sold for approximately R100 million (or $5.5 million), and this amount will be received over 24 months, bearing interest at 7.25%, with an initial six-month interest and capital repayment holiday. All amounts translated at exchange rate of $1/ZAR 17.80 as of March 31, 2020.
Capital Allocation/Share Repurchase
Following the recent disposals, our board has initiated a comprehensive strategic review of the entire Company. In light of the continued uncertainty around the current pandemic, the need to ensure that the Company maintains a strong balance sheet and pending completion of the strategic review process, the board has decided to delay any share repurchases. Any return of capital will also be subject to clarification of the Company’s status under the Investment Company Act, as we will not be able to repurchase our shares unless we can reliably conclude that we will not be considered to be an investment company. The Company intends to return excess capital to shareholders once these matters are resolved.
Succession plan for Chairman and other Board changes
Mr. Jabu Mabuza will succeed our current Chairman, Mr. Christopher S. Seabrooke, when he retires at the end of June 2020. Mr. Mabuza is Chairman of Sun International and was previously Chairman of Eskom, one of Africa’s largest utilities and Telkom, a leading South African telecom company. We have also appointed four other veteran business leaders as independent non-executive directors, being Mr. Antony Ball, Mr. Ian Greenstreet, Mr. Kuben Pillay and Mr. Ali Mazanderani.

(A) 2019 restated to correct an error identified related to the loss recorded related to the disposal of discontinued operation. The financial information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, have been restated with the effect of decreasing GAAP net (loss) income by $4.0 million, respectively. GAAP loss per share increased by $0.07 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA (loss), fundamental loss and fundamental loss per share are non-GAAP measures and are described below under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and —Fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share.” See Attachment B for a reconciliation of GAAP operating loss to EBITDA (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (loss), and GAAP net loss to fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share.
Business update related to COVID-19
Our operations have been impacted by government-imposed restrictions to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, on March 27, 2020, the South African government imposed certain emergency measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including implementation of travel bans and closures of factories, schools, public buildings, and businesses. Our businesses outside South Africa have also been affected and these operations and their employees are also complying with similar restrictions.
Employees
We closed a number of our offices and operating locations in order to comply with government regulations and for the general well-being of our employees following the outbreak of the pandemic. We have provided the necessary protective equipment and sanitization facilities for those employees that continue to operate within our offices and operating locations and we have provided the necessary facilities (computer equipment, data cards etc.) for our employees to operate remotely.
Business and operations
A number of our businesses including our EasyPay payment processing and value-added services operations, the operation of bank accounts and our national ATM network have been classified as essential services and therefore we have been able to continue operating these activities during the lockdown.
However, we were required to suspend our South African lending and other financial services activities to the extent that they operate through branches, and therefore we were prohibited from marketing and selling loans and other financial products on a face-to-face basis from the end of March 2020. Collections of amounts due from existing loans at the end of March 31, 2020, have so far been unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic and government-imposed restrictions. We are currently also prohibited from charging certain banking-related fees to our South African customers. We estimate that we had to forgo cash withdrawal fees of approximately ZAR 8.2 million during the month of March 2020. We expect that we will forgo monthly cash withdrawal fees of between ZAR 18 to ZAR 20 million until we are allowed to charge our customers to withdraw cash from our ATM network once again. We do continue to earn interchange fees in respect of cash withdrawals from our ATMs performed by the customers of other issuers.
We incurred expenses of approximately ZAR 2.0 million directly related to responding to the pandemic’s impact on our business during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. This expenditure related to the acquisition of sanitisers, masks and gloves for our employees and for the use of customers in our branches. Since March 31, 2020, we have incurred direct expenditure of approximately ZAR 1.0 million related to the purchase of thermometers to record and monitor our employees’ temperature as mandated by certain South African lending regulations in order to identify COVID-19 infections.
Factors impacting comparability of our Q3 2020 and Q3 2019 results
- Higher revenue: Our revenues increased 8% in ZAR primarily due to higher South African transaction fees, partially offset by lower ad-hoc technology sales and lower international processing volumes;
- Ongoing operating losses: While operating costs have reduced significantly, we continue to experience operating losses in South Africa and internationally, as a result of depressed revenues, coupled with a high fixed-cost infrastructure. We also recorded impairment losses of $6.3 million during Q3 2020; and
- Adverse foreign exchange movements: The U.S. dollar appreciated 8% against the ZAR compared to Q3 2020, which adversely impacted our reported results.
Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity
South African transaction processing
Segment revenue was $19.9 million in Q3 2020, up 24%, compared with Q3 2019 and up 2% compared to Q2 2020 on a constant currency basis. The increase in segment revenue was primarily due to an increase in transactions performed through our ATM network, but partially offset by lower fees as a result of fewer EPE and SASSA accounts. Our revenue for Q3 2020 was adversely impacted by ZAR 8.2 million ($0.5 million) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as we were unable to charge certain cash withdrawal fees to customers as a result of the lockdown during the last few days of March 2020. Excluding the impact of the $5.6 million EasyPay goodwill impairment loss, our South African transaction processing operating segment revenue and operating loss have been adversely impacted by the loss of EPE and SASSA customers. The reduced operating loss in the segment is due to the cost cutting that has occurred over the last 12 months. Our operating loss margin for Q3 2020 and 2019 was (43.6%) and (74.6%), respectively. Our operating loss margin for Q3 2020 excluding the goodwill impairment of $5.6 million was (15.5%).
International transaction processing
Segment revenue was $1.6 million in Q3 2020, down 26% on a constant currency basis compared with Q3 2019 but up from $0.9 million in Q2 2020. Segment revenue from continuing operations was lower during Q3 2020, primarily due to an ongoing contraction in IPG transaction volumes. Operating loss from continuing operations during Q3 2020 increased compared with fiscal 2019 due to higher operating losses incurred by IPG, reflecting the high fixed costs component of the business. Our operating loss margin for Q3 2020 and 2019 was (202.6%) and (84.2%), respectively.
Financial inclusion and applied technologies
Segment revenue was $17.7 million in Q3 2020, up 2% on a constant currency basis compared with Q3 2019 but down from $22.0 million in Q2 2020. In ZAR, segment revenue from continuing operations increased modestly primarily due to higher terminal sales and insurance revenue. Lending and prepaid sales were consistent with Q3 2019. Operating loss for Q3 2019 included retrenchment costs of $1.6 million (ZAR 22.1 million). Operating loss from continuing operations for Q3 2020 improved compared with fiscal 2019 due to the contribution from terminal sales, a recovery of bad debts previously written off and no retrenchment costs. Our operating income margin from continuing operations for the Financial inclusion and applied technologies segment was (5.3%) and (26.1%) during Q3 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Corporate/eliminations
Our corporate expenses decreased primarily due to lower acquired intangible asset amortization expense related to intangible assets that were fully amortized during fiscal 2019 and unrealized foreign currency gains recorded resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, but partially offset by a $0.7 million impairment loss.
Cash flow and liquidity
At March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $209.3 million and comprised of U.S. dollar-denominated balances of $192.0 million, ZAR-denominated balances of ZAR 236.5 million ($13.2 million), and other currency deposits, primarily Botswana pula, of $4.1 million, all amounts translated at exchange rates applicable as of March 31, 2020. The increase in our unrestricted cash balances from June 30, 2019, was primarily due to the sale of our Korean operations and the repayment of a loan outstanding by DNI, which was partially offset by weak trading activities, repayment of our short-term borrowings, capital expenditures, and an additional investment in V2.
Our cash used in operating activities during Q3 2020 was impacted by the cash losses incurred by the majority of our continuing operations. We were unable to commence origination of loans towards the end of March 2020 due to the temporary COVID-19 restrictions imposed on our lending activities in March 2020 and this had a positive result on net cash used in operating activities during Q3 2020, compared with 2019, where we originated loans, and which resulted in a net outflow of cash. Our operating cash flows were adversely impacted by the purchase of additional Cell C prepaid airtime that is subject to sale restrictions. Our net cash used in operating activities during Q3 2020 includes the contribution from KSNET for two months and no contribution from DNI, compared with 2019, which includes cash flow contributions from both of these entities for the entire quarter. Capital expenditures for Q3 2020 and 2019 were $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and Q3 2020 capital expenditures relate primarily to the acquisition of computer equipment in South Korea to maintain operations and leasehold improvements in Malta.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
U.S. securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we disclose the reason for using these non-GAAP measures and provide reconciliations to the directly comparable GAAP measures. The presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share and headline (loss) earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is GAAP operating (loss) income adjusted for depreciation and amortization and, if applicable, impairment losses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued and in fiscal 2019, includes and adjustment related to retrenchment costs paid.
Fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share
Fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share is GAAP net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share adjusted for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), the amortization of intangible assets (net of deferred taxes) related to equity-accounted investments, stock-based compensation charges, the amortization of debt facility fees and unusual non-recurring items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.
Fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share for fiscal 2020 also includes an adjustment for the impairment losses related to our equity-accounted investments, the gain related to the disposal of Net1 Korea, the gain related to the disposal of FIHRST, interest related to SASSA implementation costs refund, and fiscal 2019 also includes loss related to the disposal of DNI, the accretion of interest related to the DNI contingent consideration, retrenchment costs (net of taxes), and the non-controlling interest portion of the amortization of intangible assets (net of deferred taxes).
We provide earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material.
Management believes that the EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) 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 operating income and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; and GAAP net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share and fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share.
Headline (loss) earnings per share (“H(L)EPS”)
The inclusion of H(L)EPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. H(L)EPS basic and diluted is calculated using net (loss) income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline (loss) 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.
H(L)EPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net (loss) income adjusted for the impairment losses related to our equity-accounted investments, the gain related to the disposal of Net1 Korea, the gain on disposal of FIHRST, the loss related to the disposal of DNI, impairment loss and (profit) loss on sale of property, plant and equipment. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net (loss) income used to calculate (loss) earnings per share basic and diluted and HE(L)PS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline diluted (loss) earnings per share.

Weighted average number of shares used to calculate headline diluted loss per share represents 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 diluted loss per share because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline diluted loss per share.
