NICOSIA, CYPRUS – May 16, 2019 – QIWI plc (NASDAQ: QIWI) (MOEX: QIWI) (“QIWI” or the “Company”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

First Quarter 2019 Operating and Financial Highlights

“Today I’m glad to present our first quarter 2019 financial results. This quarter we continue to demonstrate strong performance, especially in our Payment Services business, which delivered 32% segment net revenue growth and 35% segment net profit growth. I would like to highlight that the performance of our payment services business continues to be driven predominantly by the development of our product proposition aimed at our user, merchant and partners including solutions for digital entertainment merchants, self-employed and sharing economy partners. Our growth is simultaneously underpinned by the secular trends in our key markets demonstrating the adaptability and resilience of the payment ecosystem we have developed so far and aim to develop further,” said Sergey Solonin, QIWI’s chief executive officer. “As we continued to benefit from the strong performance and substantial cash flows generated by the Payment Services segment, which remains a core part of our business, I believe we are well positioned to pursue our strategy and carry on our investments in the new projects. We are well positioned to continue building up our ecosystem, diversifying our operations and increasing the life cycle of our clients with an ultimate goal of securing the long-term growth prospects of our Company.”

The Segment Presentation of the Results of Operations

As of March 31 2019, we distinguish four reportable segments and a Corporate and Other category, as set out below:

First Quarter 2019 Results

Adjusted and Segment Net Revenues: Total Adjusted Net Revenue (Total Segment Net Revenue) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was RUB 5,367 million ($82.9 million), an increase of 31% compared with RUB 4,099 million in the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by Payment Services and CFS Segments Net Revenue growth, which was slightly offset by the negative Net Revenue contribution of Rocketbank Segment.

Payment Services Segment Net Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was RUB 4,836 million ($74.7 million), an increase of 32% compared with RUB 3,668 million in the prior year.

PS Payment Adjusted Net Revenue was RUB 4,175 million ($64.5 million), an increase of 30% compared with RUB 3,223 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.

PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue, 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 661 million ($10.2 million), an increase of 49% compared with RUB 445 million in the prior year. Fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 were RUB 445 million ($6.9 million) compared with RUB 303 million for the corresponding period in the prior year, the increase was driven primarily by growth of payment volume and a number of users in the payment services business. PS Other Adjusted Net Revenue excluding revenue from fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments increased 52% 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 (including revenue from information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank related to the operations of the Tochka project) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was RUB 412 million ($6.4 million) compared with RUB 420 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Segment Net Revenue dynamics were mostly driven by two factors: increase in the number of clients and corresponding expansion of the operations of the Tochka multi-bank project and the transfer of Tochka multi-bank project to JSC Tochka starting from February 1, 2019, as a result of which we no longer recognize a certain portion of Tochka project revenue associated with the information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 2,336 million ($36.1 million), an increase of 61% compared with RUB 1,450 million in the prior year. The adjusted EBITDA increase was driven by Total Adjusted Net Revenue growth slightly offset by an increase in payroll and related taxes (excluding effect of share based payments) to RUB 843 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to RUB 776 million for same period in the prior year as well as by an increase of compensation to employees and related taxes (excluding effect of share-based payments) to RUB 880 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to RUB 675 million for same period in the prior year resulting from a personnel expense growth in payment services segment and corporate and other category, development of the SOVEST project and transfer of Rocketbank personnel to QIWI and increase of other administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Net Revenue) was 43.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared with 35.4% for the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted and Segment Net Profit: For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Adjusted Net Profit (Total Segment Net Profit) was RUB 1,653 million ($25.5 million), an increase of 53% compared with RUB 1,081 million in the prior year. The growth of Adjusted Net Profit was primarily driven by the same factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA slightly offset an increase of income tax expense.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Payment Services Segment Net Profit was RUB 2,988 million ($46.2 million), an increase of 35% compared with RUB 2,209 million in the prior year driven by Payment Services Segment Net Revenue growth and certain expenses savings that will be caught up during the year.

The Consumer Financial Services Segment Net Loss for the first quarter 2019 was RUB 532 million ($8.2 million) as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 679 million for the same period of the prior year resulting from the expansion of operations of the SOVEST project and corresponding Segment Net Revenue growth.

The Small and Medium Enterprises Net Loss was RUB 5 million ($0.1 million) as compared to a Net Loss of RUB 153 million in the prior year. The significant reduction of net loss was primarily driven by the development and scaling of the Tochka business as well as by the decrease in costs driven by the transfer of the Tochka multi-bank project to the new entity – JSC Tochka, which has commenced its business operations on February 1, 2019.

Rocketbank Segment Net Loss was RUB 490 million ($7.6 million), an increase of 571% compared with the net loss of RUB 73 million in the prior year primarily driven by expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and roll out of the operations of Rocketbank in QIWI.

Payment Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Payment Services Segment payment volume was RUB 326.0 billion ($5.0 billion), an increase of 31% compared with RUB 249.2 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 1.28%, a decrease of 1 bps compared with 1.29% in the prior year primarily driven by a decrease of average net revenue yields across key market verticals including E-commerce, Money Remittance and Financial Services offset by the shift of the product mix towards higher yielding E-commerce volumes.

Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield was 1.48%, an increase of 1 bps as compared with 1.47% in the prior year. Payment Services Segment Net Revenue Yield excluding the effect of fees for inactive accounts and unclaimed payments was 1.35%, flat as compared with the same period in the prior year.

Consumer Financial Services Other Operating Data: For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Consumer Financial Services Segment payment volume was RUB 5.0 billion ($0.1 billion). CFS payment volume increased by 117% as compared to the RUB 2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2018, while CFS Segment Net Revenue Yield increased to 4.32% driven primarily by the introduction of the consumes paid value added options.

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. JSC Tochka has commenced its business operations on February 1st, 2019. As of the date of this report, we have transferred the majority of operations, contracts and personnel to JSC Tochka and we aim to finish the transfer by the end of the second quarter of 2019. We will further account JSC Tochka as an equity accounted associate. Starting from February 1st, 2019 we recognize only certain parts of Tochka project revenues related to providing services to Tochka clients that have their accounts with QIWI Bank.

Dividend: Considering our expectations about the performance of the Group as well as our anticipated level of investments in 2019 and aiming to provide more transparency and predictability in respect of our dividend distribution practices, the Board of Directors approved a target dividend payout ratio for 2019. In accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors, the Company aims to distribute between 65% to 85% of its adjusted net profit for 2019 starting from the first quarter 2019.

Following the determination of the first quarter 2019 financial results, our Board of Directors approved a dividend of USD 28 cents per share. The dividend record date is May 28, 2019, and the Company intends to pay the dividend on May 31, 2019. The holders of ADSs will receive the dividend shortly thereafter.

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 range provided, though the payout ratios for each of the quarters may vary and be outside of this range. It remains the long-term intention of the Company to distribute all excess cash to the shareholders.

2019 Guidance ¹

QIWI upgrades its guidance in respect of 2019 outlook:

For the purpose of the guidance in respect of 2019 outlook we would like to outline the following considerations:

We will stop recognizing the portion of Tochka revenues associated with information and technology service agreements with Otkritie Bank for providing services to Tochka clients that have their accounts with Otkritie Bank starting from February 1, 2019 following the transfer of the Tochka operations to JSC Tochka. Such revenues were recognized in full for the full year 2018; however, they will only be recognized for one month in 2019. For the avoidance of doubt, only the revenues related to Tochka clients that have their accounts with QIWI bank will be recognized as QIWI group revenues in 2019. We will correspondingly account JCS Tochka as an associate going further.

We believe that the financial results of Rocketbank as well as underlying business trends and targets for this segment will not materially change throughout the year. However, we reserve the right to adjust the Rocketbank strategy and corresponding financial forecasts for the segment throughout the year based on the results of our review of Rocketbank strategy.

The Company reserves the right to revise guidance in the course of the year.
