Fourth-Quarter 2013 Results

Revenues: Adjusted Net Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was RUB 1,700 million ($51.9 million), an increase of 35% compared to RUB 1,262 million in the prior year. Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive Visa QIWI Wallet accounts increased 24% compared to the same period in the prior year.

QIWI Distribution net revenue was RUB 807 million ($24.7 million), a decrease of 4% compared to RUB 845 million in the prior year. The decrease in QIWI Distribution net revenue was driven primarily by a decline in advertising revenue, partially offset by increased payment volume at active kiosks and terminals.

Visa QIWI Wallet net revenue was RUB 859 million ($26.2 million), an increase of 108% compared to RUB 413 million in the prior year. Visa QIWI Wallet net revenue growth was primarily driven by: (i) an increase in active accounts and payments volumes; (ii) an increase in net revenue yield; and (iii) an increase in revenue from fees for inactive accounts. Revenue from fees for inactive accounts was RUB 137 million ($4.2 million) in the fourth-quarter of 2013 compared to nil in the corresponding 2012 period. Visa QIWI Wallet net revenue, excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts, increased 75% compared to the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 733 million ($22.4 million), an increase of 30% compared to RUB 565 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 43.1% compared to 44.8% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding the effect of revenue derived from inactive accounts was RUB 596 million, an increase of 5% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding the effect of revenue derived from inactive accounts, was 38.1% compared to 44.8% in the prior year period. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding the effect of revenue derived from inactive accounts primarily resulted from an investment in marketing activities in the fourth quarter, which amounted to approximately 8% of Adjusted Net Revenue excluding inactivity fees, as well as certain other non-recurring items.

Adjusted Net Profit: For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, Adjusted Net Profit was RUB 567 million ($17.3 million), an increase of 33% compared to RUB 425 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Net Profit excluding the effect of revenue derived from inactive accounts (net of tax) increased 8% compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, QIWI Distribution payment volume was RUB 145.3 billion ($4.4 billion), an increase of 10% compared to RUB 131.9 billion in the prior year. The increase in QIWI Distribution payment volume was driven primarily by an increase in Visa QIWI Wallet users reloading their wallets through the QIWI Distribution network. Average QIWI Distribution net revenue yield was 0.56% compared to 0.64% in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in QIWI Distribution net revenue yield was predominantly due to the aforementioned decline in advertising revenue.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, Visa QIWI Wallet payment volume was RUB 78.6 billion ($2.4 billion), an increase of 47% as compared to RUB 53.5 billion in the prior year. The increase in Visa QIWI Wallet payment volume resulted primarily from an increase in the number of active accounts and an increase in the average volume per Visa QIWI Wallet account. The number of active Visa QIWI Wallet accounts was approximately 15.4 million (on a rolling 12 months basis), an increase of 35% compared to approximately 11.4 million in the prior year. Average volume per Visa QIWI Wallet was RUB 5,104 ($156), an increase of 9% compared to RUB 4,693 in the prior year. Average Visa QIWI Wallet net revenue yield was 1.09%, representing an increase of 32 bps compared to 0.77% in the prior year. The increase in Visa QIWI Wallet net revenue yield was primarily driven by increased payment volumes associated with higher revenue generating transactions such as e-commerce, and higher revenue from fees for inactive accounts, which contributed an additional 17 bps to net revenue yield in the fourth-quarter of 2013. Visa QIWI Wallet net revenue yield, excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts, was 0.92% in the fourth-quarter of 2013 representing an increase of 15 bps compared to 0.77% in the prior year.

The increase in Visa QIWI Wallet payment volume resulted from several factors, including the continued increase in the number of active users and an increase in the average volume per Visa QIWI Wallet account.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This release presents 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 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 Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Profit, and Adjusted Net Profit per share, including a quantitative reconciliation of 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 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.
