UEPS - Net 1 UEPS Technologies Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, May 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UEPS; JSE: NT1) today released results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 Q3 2019 Highlights:

  • Revenue of $86.5 million, GAAP EPS of $(0.96) and Fundamental EPS of $(0.62)
  • Fundamental EPS of ($0.62) includes $25.2 million, or $0.44 per share of non-cash fair value loss adjustments for Cell C, net of tax, and the impairment of the Cedar Cell note;
  • Operating loss of $21.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA improved sequentially to a loss of $(1.1) million;
  • Early-settlement of long-term South African debt on May 3, 2019; net cash of $24 million at March 31, 2019;
  • Monetization of DNI commenced with reduction of ownership from 55% to 30.4% since March 2019; DNI given a call option to acquire the remaining 30.4% at an exercise price of $59.3 million prior to December 31, 2019; and
  • Active EPE accounts remained stable at 1.1 million as of March 31, 2019.

“We are pleased that our core South African operations demonstrated far more stability during the third-quarter, allowing us to focus on our extensive cost-containment exercise, a significant reduction of debt and other obligations, and the first steps towards the realization of value of some of our assets,” said Herman Kotzé, CEO. “The retrenchment of thousands of Net1 family members has been one of the most difficult processes we have ever faced and we completed the necessary actions to remain on track to achieve a monthly EBITDA-neutral position for our South African operations by the end of Q4 2019. The Board and management remain squarely focused on reviewing all options available for the Group, and will provide updates when there are tangible actions to report.”

“In Korea, our advisors are actively engaged with management to execute the near-term action items to drive higher growth and profitability, and in parallel, our Board, with financial advisors, is reviewing the strategic alternatives for this business. Cell C is focused on managing its near-term liquidity constraints, closing its transaction with a new minority investor and improving the performance of the business. Our other equity investments continued to perform in line with expectations during the quarter,” continued Kotzé. “With the deleveraging of the balance sheet that has been achieved since our last report, we remain comfortable with our liquidity position for the next 12 months.”

Subsequent Event
On February 28, 2019, we entered into a transaction which reduced our shareholding in DNI from 55% to 38%. The transaction closed on March 31, 2019. On May 3, 2019, we entered into an agreement which further reduced our shareholding in DNI from 38% to 30.4% through the sale of shares in DNI to FirstRand Bank Limited, acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division, for a transaction consideration of ZAR 215.0 million ($14.9 million, translated at exchange rates applicable as of May 3, 2019). The company utilized the sale proceeds and ZAR 15.0 million ($1.0 million, translated at exchange rates applicable as of May 3, 2019) of its cash reserves to early-settle its outstanding long-term borrowings. On May 3, 2019, we also entered into an agreement, in which we granted a call option to DNI to acquire our retained 30.4% interest in DNI. The option expires on December 31, 2019, and may be exercised at any time during this period. The option strike price for our remaining 30.4% interest is ZAR 859.3 million, or $59.3 million, translated at exchange rates applicable as of May 3, 2019, less any special distributions made by DNI.

(1) As previously reported and more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Form 10-K/A filed on December 6, 2018, the Company restated its 2018 consolidated financial statements, to correctly classify and record the change in fair value of its investment in Cell C. The financial information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, has been restated with the effect of increasing GAAP net (loss) income by $29,366, and GAAP (loss) net income by $0.52.

(2) Adjusted negative EBITDA and fundamental (loss) earnings per share are non-GAAP measures and are described below under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures—negative EBITDA and Adjusted negative EBITDA, and —Fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share.” See Attachment B for a reconciliation of GAAP operating (loss) income to negative EBITDA and Adjusted negative EBITDA, and GAAP net (loss) income to fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share.

Factors impacting comparability of our Q3 2019 and Q3 2018 results

  • Decline in revenue: Our revenues declined 37% in ZAR primarily due to the expiration of our SASSA contract, significant decline in EPE account numbers driven by SASSA’s auto-migration of accounts to SAPO, and a reduction in EPE-related financial and value-added services and transaction fees due to a smaller customer base, but partially offset by the inclusion of DNI;
  • Increase in operating losses: Lower revenue, coupled with a high-fixed cost infrastructure and write-downs due to limited recoverability of dues from customers, resulted in an operating loss. During the Q3 2019, we commenced with a restructuring of our South African operations to bring our cost structure in-line with our current customer base, and expect to reach break-even on a cash basis by the end of the Q4 2019. We incurred $4.5 million in retrenchment costs during Q3 2019;
  • Non-cash losses, impairments and fair-value adjustments: We incurred a $5.1 million non-cash loss on disposal of DNI, an impairment loss of $5.3 million related to DNI intangibles, a fair value adjustment loss of $26.3 million for Cell C and a $2.6 million impairment of our Cedar Cell note; and
  • Adverse foreign exchange movements: The U.S. dollar appreciated 19% against the ZAR and 6% against the KRW during Q3 2019, which adversely impacted our reported results.

Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity

South African transaction processing

Segment revenue was $17.4 million in Q3 2019, down 72% on a constant currency basis compared with Q3 2018. The decrease in segment revenue and operating income was primarily due to the substantial decrease in the number of SASSA grant recipients paid under our SASSA contract as the contract ended at the end of Q1 2019. Our revenue and operating income was also adversely impacted by the significant reduction in the number of SASSA grant recipients with SASSA-branded Grindrod cards linked to Grindrod bank accounts as well as a lower number of EPE accounts. These decreases in revenue and operating income were partially offset by higher transaction revenue as a result of increased usage of our ATMs. Operating income for this operating segment for Q3 2019 included retrenchment costs of $3.0 million (ZAR 41.7 million). Our operating (loss) income margin for Q3 2019 and 2018 was (74.6%) and 17.3%, respectively. Excluding restructuring costs, the operating loss margin for Q3 2019 was (57.5%).

International transaction processing

Segment revenue was $34.4 million in Q3 2019, down 12% compared with Q3 2018 in constant currency. Segment revenue was lower during Q3 2019, primarily due to a contraction in IPG transactions processed, specifically meaningfully lower crypto-exchange and China processing activity, and modestly lower KSNET revenue as a result of lower transaction values processed. Operating income during Q3 2018 was adversely impacted by a $19.9 million impairment loss and positively impacted by an ad hoc refund of indirect taxes of $2.5 million in Korea. Excluding the impact of the impairment loss and the ad hoc tax refund, operating income during Q3 2019 was lower compared to fiscal 2018 due to the decrease in IPG revenues and resulting from these lower revenues, and partially offset by an improved contribution from KSNET, primarily as a result of a lower depreciation expense. Operating income (loss) margin for Q3 2019 and 2018 was 5.6% and (32.2%), respectively. Excluding the goodwill impairment and ad hoc tax refund, segment operating income and margin for fiscal 2018 were $2.4 million and 5.2%, respectively.

Financial inclusion and applied technologies

Segment revenue was $36.7 million in Q3 2019, down 27% compared with Q3 2018 in constant currency. Segment revenue decreased primarily due to fewer prepaid airtime and value-added services sales, lower lending and insurance revenue, and a decrease in inter-segment revenues, partially offset by the inclusion of DNI. Operating income was significantly lower than Q3 2018, primarily due to lower revenue generation and higher expenses incurred to maintain and expand our financial service infrastructure, partially offset by the contribution from DNI. Operating income for this operating segment for Q3 2019 included retrenchment costs of $1.6 million (ZAR 22.1 million). Excluding the retrenchment costs, segment operating income and margin for fiscal 2019 were $4.8 million and 13.2% respectively.

Corporate/eliminations

Our corporate expenses increased primarily due to a $5.3 million impairment loss as well as higher acquired intangible asset amortization, non-employee director expenses, transaction-related expenditures and external service provider fees.

Cash flow and liquidity

At March 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $48.8 million and comprised ZAR-denominated balances of ZAR 263.0 million ($18.2 million), KRW-denominated balances of KRW 17.2 billion ($15.1 million), U.S. dollar-denominated balances of $10.7 million, and other currency deposits, primarily Botswana pula, of $4.7 million, all amounts translated at exchange rates applicable as of March 31, 2019. The decrease in our unrestricted cash balances from June 30, 2018, was primarily due to significantly weaker trading activities, scheduled debt repayments, dividend payments to non-controlling interests and capital expenditures, which was partially offset by the contribution from the inclusion of DNI, and a decrease in our South African lending book.

Excluding the impact of interest received, interest paid under our South Africa debt and taxes, the decrease in cash provided is primarily due to significantly weaker trading activity during fiscal 2019 compared to 2018. Capital expenditures for Q3 2019 and 2018 were $1.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and have decreased primarily due to the acquisition of fewer ATMs in South Africa and computer equipment to maintain our processing activities. We made a scheduled South African debt facility payment of $10.5 million (ZAR 151 million).

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

US 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 negative EBITDA, adjusted negative 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

(Loss) 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, retrenchment costs incurred, an allowance for doubtful Mastertrading working capital finance loans receivable, a refund of indirect taxes in Korea, and (loss) profits realized on the sale of a business.

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 and reversals, the amortization of South African and South Korean debt facility fees and unusual non-recurring items, including the impairment loss, costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.

Fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share for fiscal 2019 also includes an adjustment for the loss incurred on the disposal of DNI, retrenchment costs incurred, accretion of interest related to the DNI contingent consideration, and for the non-controlling interest portion of the amortization of intangible assets (net of deferred taxes). Fundamental net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2018 also includes adjustments for an allowance for doubtful working capital finance receivables, refund of indirect taxes in Korea, the impact of changes in tax laws in the U.S and a gain realized on the sale of XeoHealth.

We provide earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking fundamental (loss) earnings per share 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 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 (loss) earnings per share diluted represent 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 (loss) earnings per share diluted because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline (loss) earnings per share diluted.
