Third Quarter 2018 Results
Adjusted and Segment Net Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was RUB 5,230 million ($79.7 million), an increase of 62% compared with RUB 3,238 million in the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by Payment Services and SME Segments Net Revenue growth.
Payment Services Segment Net Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was RUB 4,257 million ($64.9 million), an increase of 34% compared with RUB 3,179 million in the prior year.
PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 3,668 million ($55.9 million), an increase of 38% compared with RUB 2,661 million in the prior year. PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by a volume growth in the E-commerce and Money Remittance market verticals as well as by an improvement in Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield resulting from the shift in product mix.
PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue1, which is principally composed of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments and interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, and advertising, was RUB 589 million ($9.0 million), an increase of 14% compared with RUB 518 million in the prior year.
Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018 were RUB 380 million ($5.8 million) compared with RUB 342 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 19% compared with the same period in the prior year.
Small and Medium Enterprises Segment Net Revenue which is composed of revenue from cash and settlement services (mostly associated with the information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank related to the operations of the Tochka project) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was RUB 842 million ($12.8 million) compared with nil in the third quarter of the prior year as a result of the launch of operations of the Tochka project and corresponding revenues from information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank for providing services to Tochka clients that have their accounts with Otkritie Bank as well as revenues for providing services to Tochka clients that have their accounts with QIWI Bank. As of September 30, 2018 the Tochka project has not yet been transferred to the new entity established with Bank “Otkritie”, thus the revenues of the Tochka project were fully recognized for the third quarter 2018 consistent with the previous quarters.
Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 1,633 million ($24.9 million), an increase of 23% compared with RUB 1,325 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by Total Adjusted Net Revenue growth offset by an increase in payroll and related taxes (excluding effect of share based payments) to RUB 1,014 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as compared to RUB 438 million for same period in the prior year resulting from a significant personnel expense increase in connection with the development of the SOVEST project, the launch of the Tochka project and transfer of Rocketbank to QIWI as well as by an increase of SG&A expense as follows. SG&A expenses growth was primarily driven by: (i) compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments) increase to RUB 799 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as compared to RUB 455 million for same period in the prior year resulting from a significant personnel expense growth in connection with the development of the SOVEST project, the launch of the Tochka project and transfer of Rocketbank to QIWI; (ii) advertising, client acquisition and related expenses increase to RUB 525 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as compared to RUB 413 million for same period in the prior year mostly due to expenses connected with SOVEST, Tochka and to a lesser extend Rocketbank projects as well as by the increase in credit loss expenses to RUB 236 million in the third quarter 2018 as compared to RUB 52 million for the same period of the prior year as a result of the development of the SOVEST project and corresponding growth of its credit portfolio. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 31.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with 40.9% for the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted and Segment Net Profit: For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 1,170 million ($17.8 million), an increase of 10% compared with RUB 1,064 million in the prior year. The growth of Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA offset by a net foreign exchange loss2 as compared to the net foreign exchange gain in the same period in the prior year as well as an increase in income tax expenses.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Payment Services Segment Net Profit was RUB 2,487 million ($37.9 million), an increase of 27% compared with RUB 1,952 million in the prior year driven by Payment Services Segment Net Revenue growth and slightly offset an increase in income tax expense.
The Consumer Financial Services Segment Net Loss in the second quarter 2018 was RUB 699 million ($10.7 million) as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 625 million in the same period of prior year resulting from the expansion of operations of the SOVEST project and associated costs mostly related to consumer acquisition.
The Small and Medium Enterprises Net Loss was RUB 80 million ($1.2 million) compared to a Net Loss of RUB 107 million in the prior year. The decrease of losses incurred was primarily driven by the Small and Medium Enterprises Segment Net Revenue growth due to the development of the Tochka project.
Corporate and Other Category Net Loss was RUB 538 million ($8.2 million), an increase of 246% compared with the net loss of RUB 156 million in the prior year primarily driven by expenses incurred in connection with the operations of Rocketbank in the amount of RUB 306 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to nil in the same period of the prior year as well as several individually insignificant projects.
Payment Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Payment Services Segment payment volume was RUB 297.1 billion ($4.5 billion), an increase of 26% compared with RUB 235.9 billion in the prior year. The increase in payment volume was driven by growth in E-commerce and Money Remittances market verticals resulting largely from the development of certain payment solutions for merchants including betting merchants, new contracts and projects targeting the self-employed market as well as secular growth in some of our key categories. Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield was 1.23%, an increase of 10 bps compared with 1.13% in the prior year primarily driven to the shift of the product mix towards higher yielding E-commerce volumes offset by a slight decrease of average net revenue yields in key market verticals including E-commerce, Money Remittance and Financial Services.
Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield was 1.43%, an increase of 8 bps as compared with 1.35% in the prior year. Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield excluding the effect of fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 1.30%, an increase of 10 bps as compared with the same period in the prior year.
The number of active kiosks and terminals was 149,754 including Contact and Rapida physical points of service, a decrease of 2% compared with the prior year.
The number of active Qiwi Wallet accounts was 20.8 million as of September 30, 2018, an increase of 1.8 million, or 10%, as compared with 19.0 million in the third quarter 2017. The increase was driven mainly by development of consumer and merchant use cases in the core market verticals, network effects as well as increasing convenience and usability of our services.
Consumer Financial Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Consumer Financial Services Segment payment volume was RUB 4.7 billion ($71.2 million). CFS payment volume increased more than four times as compared to the RUB 0.9 billion for the third quarter of 2017 driven by the growth and development of the SOVEST project.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of assets of Tochka and Rocketbank: In August 2017, we have executed a series of transactions to acquire the brands, software and hardware of Tochka, a digital banking service focused on offering a broad range of services to small and medium businesses and Rocketbank, a digital banking service offering debit cards and deposits to retail customers, from Otkritie Bank.
After the prolonged negotiations with the management of the Otkritie Bank on June 7 2018, QIWI, Otkritie Bank and Tochka management team have signed a partnership agreement to establish a new entity to collectively develop Tochka business as a multi-banking platform. Consequently, on July 4 2018, JCS Tochka was established. We anticipate that the launch of JSC Tochka will occur within the next several months and the new structure will consequently commence its business operations.
Further, in July 2018 we have reached the final agreements on the Rocketbank transaction. Pursuant to these agreements the Group acquired 100% of Rocketbank’s business on the terms materially equivalent to those originally agreed. Accordingly, we have begun the process of transferring Rocketbank customers to QIWI bank on July 25, 2018. As of the date of this report, we have almost completed the transfer of Rocketbank customers, personnel and business processes to QIWI and started to consolidate Rocketbank business as part of QIWI Group thereof. We aim to conclude the transfer by the end of 2018.
Dividend: Considering our expectations about the performance of the Group as well as our anticipated level of investments in 2019, the Board intends to review the previously announced suspension of dividend payments in the first quarter of 2019. It remains the long-term intention of the Company to distribute all excess cash to shareholders.
2018 Guidance3
QIWI upgrades its guidance in respect of 2018 outlook:
- Total Adjusted Net Revenue is expected to increase by 40% to 45% over 2017;
- Adjusted Net Profit is expected to decline by 15% to 10% over 2017;
- Payment Services Segment Net Revenue is expected to increase by 22% to 27% over 2017;
- Payment Services Segment Net Profit is expected to increase by 17% to 22% over 2017.
The upgrade of the guidance was primarily driven by the strong performance of Payment Services Segment as well as the recognition of the Tochka project revenues for the most part of the second half of 2018.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Information
This release presents Total Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue, PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Net Profit per share, which are non-IFRS financial measures.

(2) Starting from the third quarter 2018 we have updated our methodology of payment net revenue allocation between different market verticals to better reflect our new streams of payments. The change materially effects only the distribution of Payment Adjusted Net Revenue between E-commerce and Money Remittances market verticals for the second quarter 2018 and was applied retrospectively when calculating the 9 months figures. Respective numbers for the second quarter 2018 were as follows: E-commerce Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 1,875.7 million; Money Remittances Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 946.2 million. No other category or period was affected.
