NICOSIA, Cyprus, March 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QIWI plc (NASDAQ: QIWI) (MOEX: QIWI) (�QIWI or the Company) today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Operating and Financial Highlights
Full-Year 2020 Operating and Financial Highlights
Today, Im glad to present our fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results and share several operating highlights with you. Despite the challenges of 2020, we demonstrated robust performance, driven by solid results of our Payment Services Segment and optimization measures that we implemented throughout the year, including the divestiture of two loss-making projects, SOVEST and Rocketbank. Our Payment Services business demonstrated stable performance and delivered 8% segment net revenue and 4% segment net profit growth year over year. In 2020, we focused on the development of the products and services we offer in our key niches, primarily the digital entertainment industry and the self-employed market, where we continue to expand and enhance our product proposition for our users, merchants, and partners, said Boris Kim, QIWIs chief executive officer. With changes in e-payments regulation and increased scrutiny in the areas of cyberspace and cross-border payments and increasing competition in the payment industry, as well as changes in betting industry landscape, 2021 presents a number of novel challenges. Nevertheless, I believe that our resilient ecosystem and adaptive business model as well as the strong management team and innate capacity to innovate and reinvent ourselves will help us successfully evolve and tackle these challenges, develop new capabilities and further strengthen our platform. In the core payments business, QIWI will continue to focus on key niches and areas of expertise and create new use cases to increase the penetration in the focus markets, including digital entertainment, self-employed and money remittances. In order to support our performance, we aim to diversify our business and continue developing Factoring PLUS and Flocktory projects. Considering all of the above, we remain committed to distributing excess cash to our shareholders. We see many opportunities both in the payment space and in the adjacent markets and will pursue our ultimate goal of securing QIWI’s long-term growth prospects.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Results
Total and Segment Net Revenues: Total Net Revenue (Total Segment Net Revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was RUB 6,242 million ($84.5 million), substantially flat with a decrease of 0.2% compared to RUB 6,253 million in the prior year.
Payment Services Segment Net Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was RUB 5,811 million ($78.7 million), an increase of 6% compared to RUB 5,487 million in the prior year.
PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 5,042 million ($68.3 million), an increase of 4% compared to RUB 4,840 million in the prior year. PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by volumes growth in E-commerce and Money Remittance markets. The growth was offset by a decline in the Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield driven predominantly by a decline in E-commerce and Money Remittance categories adjusted net revenue yield resulting from changing product mix.
PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, and advertising, was RUB 769 million ($10.4 million), an increase of 19% compared to RUB 647 million in the prior year. Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 were RUB 455 million ($6.2 million) compared to RUB 406 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 30% compared to the same period in the prior year to RUB 314 million ($4.3 million) predominantly driven by cost optimization measures including lower call center, SMS and Voicemail expenses.
Corporate and Other Category (CO) Net Revenue includes: (i) net revenue from cash and settlement services related to the operations of the Tochka project1; (ii) net revenue from factoring and digital bank guarantee services of our Factoring PLUS project; (iii) net revenue from platform and marketing services related to Flocktory; and (iv) net revenue from other projects in start-up stage. For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Corporate and Other Category Net Revenue was RUB 431 million ($5.8 million) compared to RUB 364 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Category Net Revenue dynamics were driven primarily by the following factors:
Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 3,614 million ($48.9 million), an increase of 125% compared to RUB 1,608 million in the prior year. The Adjusted EBITDA growth resulted from a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses to RUB 861 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 as compared to RUB 2,294 million for same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in advertising, client acquisition and related expenses, as well as from a decrease in personnel expenses (excluding effect of share-based payments) to RUB 1,728 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 as compared to RUB 2,248 million for the same period of the prior year, in each case driven by the divestiture or wind-down of SOVEST and Rocketbank projects, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Net Revenue) was 57.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to 25.7% for the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted and Segment Net Profit: For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted Net Profit (Total Segment Net Profit) was RUB 2,519 million ($34.1 million), an increase of 116% compared to RUB 1,168 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The growth of Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA offset by higher income tax expenses as compared to the same period of the prior year.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Payment Services Segment Net Profit was RUB 2,681 million ($36.3 million), an increase of 1% compared to RUB 2,652 million in the prior year driven by Payment Services Segment Net Revenue growth offset by an increase in personnel expenses (excluding effect of share-based payments).
Corporate and Other Category Net Loss includes: (i) net profit from the Tochka JV operations; (ii) net profit/loss of our Factoring PLUS project; (iii) net profit/loss of the Flocktory project; (iv) net profit/loss from other projects in start-up stage, and (v) corporate expenses. Corporate and Other Category Net Loss for the fourth quarter 2020 was RUB 162 million ($2.2 million) compared to a Net Loss of RUB 210 million for the same period of the previous year. These dynamics were driven primarily by the following factors:
Payment Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Payment Services Segment payment volume was RUB 464.2 billion ($6.3 billion), an increase of 16% compared to RUB 400.5 billion in the prior year. The increase in payment volume was driven by the growth in E-commerce and Money Remittance market verticals resulting largely from the development of our product offering for digital entertainment and self-employed markets as well as from an increasing volume of traditional money remittances in CONTACT. The increase was offset by the restrictions imposed on us by the Russian Central Bank (“CBR”) in December 2020, as disclosed in our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on December 9, 2020.
The Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield was 1.09%, decrease of 12 bps as compared to 1.21% in the prior year primarily driven by the development of new products and corresponding shift of the product mix towards lower yielding volumes as well as by the CBR restrictions which affected primarily higher yielding E-commerce and Money Remittance market verticals.
Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield was 1.25%, a decrease of 12 bps as compared to 1.37% in the prior year.
Full-Year 2020 Results
Total and Segment Net Revenues: Total Net Revenue (Total Segment Net Revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was RUB 25,978 million ($351.6 million), an increase of 12% compared to RUB 23,176 million in the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by Payment Services Segments Net Revenue growth, the Net Revenue of the discontinued Rocketbank Segment generated from the termination of the loyalty program as a result of the project wind-down, as well as by the growth of fees for platform and marketing services following the consolidation of Flocktory project. Total Net Revenue growth was partially offset by the decline in the discontinued Consumer Financial Services Segment Net Revenue due to the sale of the Sovest project.
Payment Services Segment Net Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was RUB 22,637 million ($306.4 million), an increase of 8% compared to RUB 20,965 million in the prior year.
PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 19,549 million ($264.6 million), an increase of 8% compared to RUB 18,103 million in the prior year. PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue growth was predominantly driven by volumes growth in the E-commerce and Money Remittance market verticals slightly offset by a decrease in Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield driven predominantly by a decline in E-commerce category adjusted net revenue yield resulting from changing product mix.
PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue, which is principally composed of revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments, interest revenue, revenue from overdrafts provided to agents, and advertising, was RUB 3,088 million ($41.8 million), an increase of 8% compared to RUB 2,862 million in the prior year. Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the year ended December 31, 2020 were RUB 1,952 million ($26.4 million) compared to RUB 1,806 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 8% compared to the same period in the prior year to RUB 1,136 million predominantly driven by cost optimization measures including lower call center, SMS and Voicemail expenses, offset by a decline in interest income due to lower key interest rate.
Corporate and Other Category (CO) Net Revenue includes: (i) net revenue from cash and settlement services related to the operations of the Tochka project2; (ii) net revenue from factoring and digital bank guarantee services of our Factoring PLUS project; (iii) net revenue from platform and marketing services related to Flocktory; and (iv) net revenue from other projects in start-up stage. For the year ended December 31, 2020 Corporate and Other Category Net Revenue was RUB 1,727 million ($23.4 million) compared to RUB 1,362 million in the prior year. Category Net Revenue dynamics were driven primarily by the following factors:
Adjusted EBITDA: For the year ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 13,837 million ($187.3 million), an increase of 52% compared to RUB 9,099 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by Total Net Revenue growth underpinned by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses to RUB 3,495 million compared to RUB 6,213 million in the previous year resulting from a decrease in advertising, client acquisition and related expenses to RUB 664 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to RUB 1,967 million in the prior year driven mostly by the divestiture or wind-down of Sovest and Rocketbank projects, respectively, and lower other administrative expenses and tax expenses (except for income and payroll related taxes) primarily due to lower travelling expenses caused by the restrictions related to the outbreak of COVID-19. The growth was partially offset by the following factors: (i) an increase of compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments) to RUB 7,847 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to RUB 7,301 million in the prior year resulting from personnel expense growth predominantly in the Payment Services Segment and Corporate and Other category; (ii) an increase of the credit loss expenses to RUB 870 million as compared to RUB 642 million in the prior year which was primarily related to the SOVEST project. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Net Revenue) was 53.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 39.3% in the prior year.
Adjusted and Segment Net Profit: For the year ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted Net Profit (Total Segment Net Profit) was RUB 10,304 million ($139.5 million), an increase of 54% compared to RUB 6,679 million in the prior year. The growth of Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA offset by an increase in income tax expense.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, Payment Services Segment Net Profit was RUB 12,608 million ($170.7 million), an increase of 4% compared to RUB 12,105 million in the prior year driven by Payment Services Segment Net Revenue growth partially offset by an increase in compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments).
Corporate and Other Category Net Loss includes: (i) net profit from the Tochka JV operations; (ii) net profit/loss of our Factoring PLUS project; (iii) net profit of the Flocktory project; (iv) net profit/loss from other projects in start-up stage, and (v) corporate expenses. Corporate and Other Category Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was RUB 730 million ($9.9 million) compared to RUB 1,128 million for the same period of the previous year. These dynamics were driven primarily by the following factors:
Payment Services Other Operating Data: For the year ended December 31, 2020, Payment Services Segment payment volume was RUB 1,617 billion ($21.9 billion), an increase of 9% compared to RUB 1,489 billion in the prior year. The increase in payment volume was driven by growth in Money Remittance and E-commerce market verticals resulting mainly from the development of payment solutions for merchants and partners including betting merchants, new contracts and projects targeting self-employed entrepreneurs and businesses working with self-employed as well as the growth in certain other categories, including traditional money remittance. Notwithstanding the various restrictions imposed across the globe to address the spread of COVID-19, our Payment Services Segment demonstrated solid operating performance throughout the most challenging periods, including in the second quarter of 2020 when volumes in the E-commerce and Money Remittance verticals were pressured by the lockdowns and other pandemic-related restrictions as well as postponement and cancellation of major sports events. Payment Average Adjusted Net Revenue Yield was 1.21%, a decrease of 1 bps compared to 1.22% in the prior year.
Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield was 1.40%, a decrease of 1 bps as compared to 1.41% in the prior year.
The number of active kiosks and terminals was 113,713 including Contact and Rapida physical points of service, a decrease of 15% compared to the prior year. The number of kiosks and terminals is generally decreasing as market evolves towards higher share of digital payments, moreover our physical distribution network was negatively affected by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, corresponding lockdown measures and other restrictions that limited our consumers’ access to certain retail locations as well as the overall activity of the population. Nevertheless, we believe that our physical distribution network remains an important part of our infrastructure.
The number of active Qiwi Wallet accounts was 18.1 million as of December 31, 2020, a decrease of 4.4 million, or 20%, as compared to 22.5 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease primarily resulted from the introduction of new limitations on the anonymous wallets and consequent optimization of certain transaction processes, change of inactivity term from 6 to 12 months and enhancement of certain KYC, identification and compliance procedures. Such decline did not substantially impact our financial or operating performance due to increasing diversification of our product proposition and operating models.
Factoring portfolio, which comprises short-term loans issued to legal entities by our Factoring PLUS project was RUB 5.7 billion, an increase of 71% as compared to RUB 3.4 billion as of December 31, 2020, mainly as a result of project development and scaling.
Recent Developments
The CBR restrictions: In December 2020, following a routine scheduled audit of Qiwi Bank, the CBR imposed certain restrictions with respect to Qiwi Banks operations, including the suspension or limitation of most types of payments to foreign merchants and money transfers to pre-paid cards from corporate accounts. We are currently working closely with the CBR to remediate the identified deficiencies and violations and eliminate or narrow down the restrictions that have been imposed, and believe that as of the date of this press release substantially all of the violations identified by the CBR have been remediated. As a result of such cooperation, the CBR permitted us to resume processing payments to certain key foreign merchants and lifted some of the other restrictions imposed in December 2020. However, there can be no assurance that there will be any further easing of the restrictions that were originally imposed, or that they will not ultimately become permanent, including through the adoption of new laws or regulations. In January 2021, as reported in the media, similar restrictions were imposed on some of our key competitors. We believe that the restrictions imposed on us were primarily driven by an evaluation of the overall approach of the CBR to the interpretation of the applicable e-payments regulation and general trends towards increased scrutiny in the areas of cyberspace and cross-border payments that we have been observing recently rather than specific deficiencies identified. The restrictions introduced by the CBR are expected to substantially decrease the volumes in our E-Commerce and Money Remittance market verticals and therefore have adversely affected and will continue to adversely affect the results of operations of our Payment Services Segment. We believe that the total impact on Payment Services Segment Net Revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was between RUB 500 to RUB 600 million.
Betting industry regulation: Since 2016, we have been operating an Interactive Bets Accounting Center (TSUPIS), which we established together with one of the self-regulated associations of bookmakers in order to enable us to accept electronic bets on behalf of sports betting companies and process related payments. As of the day of this press-release, we continue to serve as one of the two TSUPIS that are able to accept electronic bets on behalf of sports betting companies in Russia. In December 2020, a new law was adopted, establishing a Unified Gambling Regulator as a new governmental agency with broad authority to oversee the betting market, and creating the role of a single Unified Interactive Bets Accounting Center (ETSUP). This role will be assigned to a credit institution specifically authorized by the President of Russia based on a proposal made by the Government. By the end of September 2021, the newly-appointed ETSUP will replace the existing TSUPIS. Currently, both we and the operator of the competing TSUPIS have publicly made proposals to serve as the ETSUP pursuant to the new regulatory regime, however, there can be no assurance that our bid will be successful. If we are not able to secure an active role in this new industry landscape, we may experience a decrease in or complete loss of payment volumes and income associated directly or indirectly with the TSUPIS established by Qiwi Bank. This or any further significant change in betting legislation may negatively affect the payment volume, revenue, and margins of our Payment Services business, as well as overall usage of Qiwi Wallet.
COVID-19: The negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental measures on our business have included primarily a decline in revenues from our betting merchants due to the cancellation of numerous major sporting events, a drop in money remittance primarily due to an overall contraction of business activity, and a decline in the use of our kiosk network. The coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing and significant quarantine restrictions largely continue to prevail globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy is difficult to predict due to the lack of clarity on how long it could be expected to last as the world has now entered its second year. These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided.
Dividend: In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, the Company aims to distribute at least 50% of the Group Adjusted Net Profit for 2020. The final amount of dividend per share as well as record and payment dates will be announced following the publication of our audited full year results.
Further, considering our expectations about the performance of the Group as well as our anticipated level of investments in 2021, the Board of Directors approved a target dividend payout ratio of at least 50% of Group Adjusted Net Profit for 2021. The Board of Directors reserves the right to distribute the dividends on a quarterly basis, as it deems necessary so that the total annual payout is in accordance with the target provided, though the payout ratios for each of the quarters may vary and be above or below such target.
It remains the long-term intention of the Company to distribute all excess cash to the shareholders.
CEO Succession: QIWI has also announced today under a separate press release that the board of the directors of the Company has recommended that Mr. Andrey Protopopov, a member of the Qiwi management team since 2013 and currently the Chief Executive Officer of Payment Services Segment, take on the position of the Chief Executive Officer of QIWI, following the receipt by the board of a notice of resignation from Mr. Boris Kim, who has served in such capacity since January 15, 2020. Mr. Kim advised that he intends to resign from his position for personal reasons with effect from the date of the annual general meeting anticipated to take place in June 2021. Mr. Protopopov has long played a vital role at QIWI, in particular its product development function. The recommendation comes after a thorough and careful executive search undertaken by the Board from among internal and external candidates, and is the result of a long-running strategic process to transform QIWI into a management-driven business that is able to succeed without reliance on its founder team.
2021 Guidance3
QIWI provides its guidance in respect of 2021 outlook:
For the purpose of the guidance in respect of 2021 outlook we would like to outline the following considerations:
Payment Services segment results will partially depend on two significant uncertainties: (1) our ability to recover or replace the payment volumes associated with cross-borders operations that were the subject of the CBR restrictions introduced in December 2020, and (2) our ability to secure a place in the new betting industry landscape.
There can be no assurance that there will be any further easing of the restrictions that were originally imposed by the CBR in December 2020, or that they will not ultimately become permanent, including through the adoption of new laws or regulations. Even if restrictions are entirely or partially lifted, we may not be able to gain back the business that was lost in their wake. Our past and future operations may also be subject to greater scrutiny from the CBR. There can be no assurance that additional restrictions will not be imposed on us as a result of the latest audit or any subsequent ones. Any such restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to become a part of the new betting industry landscape, we may experience a decrease in or complete loss of payment volumes, revenues, and income associated directly or indirectly with the TSUPIS established by Qiwi Bank. At the same time, we believe that we should be able to retain our revenues generated from QIWI Wallet services for the betting industry, which are not directly related to our TSUPIS, including betting accounts top-ups and winnings pay-outs.
Our outlook reflects our current views and expectations only and is based on the trends we see as of the day of this press release. If such trends were to deteriorate further the impact on our business and operations could be more severe than currently expected. We continue to monitor the situation closely.
The Company reserves the right to revise guidance in the course of the year or when additional information regarding the effect of the ongoing events becomes available.
1 Starting from the first quarter 2020 we present Tochka JV results as part of the Corporate and Other Category rather than separately as Small and Medium Enterprises segment.
2 Starting from the first quarter 2020 we present Tochka JV results as part of the Corporate and Other Category

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Information
This release presents Total 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.
