(1) Fundamental net income and earnings per share is GAAP net income and earnings per share excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, and stock-based compensation charges. In addition, the calculation of fundamental net income and earnings per share for 2Q 2009 and the first six months of F2010 also excludes the effects of the change in the Company's fully distributed tax rate from 35.45% to 34.55%, JSE Limited ("JSE") listing costs, a bank facility fee, goodwill impairment and a foreign exchange gain, net of tax, related to a short-term investment.
(2) GAAP basic and fundamental earnings per share for 2Q 2009 and F2009, have been retrospectively adjusted, as required by FSP EITF 03-6-1 (Topic 260), to include participating securities in the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock.
The following factors had significant impact on the comparability of Net1's 2Q 2010 results to last year:
- Favorable impact from the weakness of the US dollar: The US dollar depreciated by 23% compared to the ZAR during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 which has had a positive impact on the Company's reported results;
- Cost management and improvement in merchant adoption in our pension and welfare operations: The Company's second quarter of fiscal 2010 results were favorably impacted by cost management controls and continued increases in merchant adoption;
- Increased transaction volumes at EasyPay: The Company's reported results were favorably impacted by increased transaction volumes at EasyPay resulting from growth in value-added services and higher than expected activity at retailers during the Christmas season;
- Increased user adoption in Iraq: The Company's reported results were positively impacted by increased transaction revenues from the adoption of its UEPS technology in Iraq;
- Lower revenues and margins from hardware, software and related technology sales segment: The Company's hardware, software and related technology sales segment was adversely impacted by fewer ad hoc sales to the Bank of Ghana, lower revenues and overall margin generated by Net1 Universal Technologies (Austria) AG ("Net1 UAT") and weaker demand for its products as well as pricing pressures resulting from the global recession, but partially offset by hardware sales to Iraq;
- Intangible asset amortization related to acquisition: The Company's reported results were adversely impacted by additional intangible asset amortization of approximately $0.5 million related to the RMT Systems (Pty) Ltd ("RMT") acquisition, which closed in April 2009; and
- Non-recurring items: During the second quarter of fiscal 2009 the Company recognized a foreign exchange gain of $20.6 million (ZAR 202.3 million) resulting from an asset swap arrangement and the Company impaired goodwill with a value of $1.8 million (ZAR 18.0 million).
Comments and Outlook
"I am extremely pleased with our second quarter results, which demonstrate the strength of our business model and the power of our technology," said Dr. Serge Belamant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Net1. "While we faced difficult year-over-year comparisons from our hardware, software and related technology sales segment, and last year's large foreign exchange gain, we continue to grow both revenue and profitability in our core transaction-based businesses. We remain an integral distributor of welfare grants for the South African government, and over the next few years, we have a much clearer path to drive the globalization of our technology. We remain committed to delivering sustainable growth for all of our stake holders, and to that effect I am pleased to announce that our Board has authorized a new $50 million share repurchase program," he concluded.
"We remain comfortable with our guidance of at least 20% constant currency fundamental earnings per share growth for fiscal year 2010," said Herman Kotze, Chief Financial Officer of Net1. "Our growth during 2Q 2010 was driven by EasyPay, Iraq and the further penetration of our merchant acquiring platform," he concluded.
Results of Operations
Net1's frequently asked questions and operating metrics will be updated and posted on the Company's website (www.net1.com).
Transaction-based activities
Transaction-based activities revenue was $45.4 million, up 38% compared with 2Q 2009 in USD and 6% on a constant currency basis. Revenue increased as a result of increased transaction volumes at EasyPay and a modest contribution from our pension and welfare operations. Operating margin increased to 59% from 54% during 2Q 2009 primarily due to cost management and continued increases in merchant adoption in our pension and welfare operations, increased transaction fees from the utilization of our UEPS system in Iraq and improved margins at EasyPay. Excluding amortization of intangibles for EasyPay and RMT, segment operating margin was 61% compared with 55% during 2Q 2009.
Smart card accounts
Smart card account revenue was $8.1 million, up 21% compared with 2Q 2009 in USD and 7% lower on a constant currency basis. Operating margin for the segment remained consistent at 45% for 2Q 2010 and 2Q 2009.
Financial services
Financial services revenue was $0.9 million, down 40% compared with 2Q 2009 in USD and 54% on a constant currency basis, principally due to the divestiture of the Company's traditional microlending business in 3Q 2009. Operating margin for the operating segment however, improved significantly to 64% from (110)% in 2Q 2009 as a result of the sale of this low-margin business, and higher profitability in our underlying UEPS-based lending activities.
Hardware, software and related technology sales
Hardware, software and related technology sales revenue was $19.5 million, down 5% compared with 2Q 2009 in USD and 27% on a constant currency basis. The decrease in revenue and operating income is primarily due to lower revenues at Net1 UAT and lower ad hoc hardware and software development sales in 2010 as compared with the prior year when we recorded revenue from sales under our Ghana contract, offset marginally by increased hardware sales to Iraq. As a result operating margin for the operating segment decreased to 9% from 27% in 2Q 2009. Excluding amortization of all intangibles, segment operating margin was 22% compared to 41% during 2Q 2009.
Cash flow and liquidity
At December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and equivalents of $153 million, down from $221 million at June 30, 2009. For 2Q 2010, the Company generated operating cash flow of $13.8 million compared to $45.9 million in 2Q 2009. The decrease in operating cash flow results primarily from the foreign exchange gain realized during 2Q 2009. Capital expenditures for 2Q 2010 and 2009 were $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for each of F2010 and F2009 were approximately $1.3 million and $3.3 million. For F2010, the Company generated operating cash flow of $50.7 million compared to $12.9 million in F2009.
Share repurchase authorization
On February 5, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company's common stock. The authorization does not have an expiration date.
The share repurchase authorization will be used at management's discretion, subject to limitations imposed by SEC Rule 10b-18 and other legal requirements and subject to price and other internal limitations established by the Board. Repurchases will be funded from the Company's available cash. Share repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or both. There can be no assurance that the Company will purchase any shares or any particular number of shares.
The authorization may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, liquidity and other factors that management deems appropriate.
MediKredit Closing
In January 2010, the Company acquired 100% of MediKredit Integrated Healthcare Solutions (Pty) Ltd ("MediKredit") for ZAR 74 million (approximately $10 million) in cash after all regulatory approvals were obtained. MediKredit is a South African private company that offers transaction processing, financial and clinical risk management solutions to both funders and providers of healthcare.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
US securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we disclose the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and provide reconciliation to the directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share and headline earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.
Fundamental net income and fundamental earnings per share
Under GAAP, the Company is required to fair value all intangible assets on the date of the acquisition and amortize these intangible assets over their expected useful lives. In addition, under GAAP, the Company is required to measure the fair value of options and other stock-based awards, and recognize a stock-based compensation charge over the requisite service period. The Company's GAAP net income and earnings per share for the three and six months December 31, 2009 and 2008, include amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, as well as, in 2008, JSE listing costs, a bank facility fee, goodwill impairment and a foreign exchange gain, net of tax, related to a short-term investment. Finally, the effect of the change in the fully distributed tax rate from 35.45% to 34.55% in July 2008 was included in net income and earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2008. The Company excludes all of the above-mentioned amounts when calculating fundamental net income and earnings per share, because management believes that these adjustments enhance its own evaluation, as well as an investor's understanding, of the Company's financial performance. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP and fundamental net income and earnings per share.
Headline earnings per share ("HEPS")
The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated using net income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline 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. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net income adjusted for the loss (profit) on sale of property, plant and equipment, net of related tax effects. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net income used to calculate earnings per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted.

About Net1 (www.net1.com)
Net1 provides its universal electronic payment system, or UEPS, as an alternative payment system for the unbanked and under-banked populations of developing economies. Our market-leading system enables the estimated four billion people who generally have limited or no access to a bank account, to enter affordably into electronic transactions with each other, government agencies, employers, merchants and other financial service providers. Our universal electronic payment system, or UEPS, uses smart cards that operate in real-time but offline, unlike traditional payment systems offered by major banking institutions that require immediate access through a communications network to a centralized computer. This offline capability means that users of the Net1 system can enter into transactions at any time with other card holders even in the most remote areas so long as a portable offline smart card reader is available. In addition to payments and purchases, UEPS can be used for banking, healthcare management, international money transfers, voting and identification.
Net1 also focuses on the development and provision of secure transaction technology, solutions and services and offers transaction processing, financial and clinical risk management solutions to both funders and providers of healthcare. Its core competencies around secure online transaction processing, cryptography and integrated circuit card (chip/smart card) technologies are principally applied to electronic commerce transactions in the telecommunications, banking, retail, petroleum and utilities market sectors.
Net1 has a primary listing on the Nasdaq and a secondary listing on the JSE Limited.
