Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 6-K, including the exhibit furnished herewith, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, which statements relate to our current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “prospective,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from the information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, risks related to the following: our ability to attract sufficient new customers, engage and retain our existing customers or sell additional functionality, products and services to them on our platforms; our ability to maintain and improve the network effects of our Super App business model; our ability to improve or maintain technology infrastructure; our ability to successfully execute the new business model and reach profitability of the e-Grocery operations; our ability to partner with sufficient new merchants or maintain relationships with our existing merchant partners; our ability to effectively manage the growth of our business and operations; developments affecting the financial services industry; our brand or trusted status of our platforms and Super Apps; our ability to retain and motivate our personnel and attract new talent, or to maintain our corporate culture; our ability to keep pace with rapid technological developments to provide innovative services; our ability to implement changes to our systems and operations necessary to capitalize on our future growth opportunities; changes in relationships with third-party providers, including software and hardware suppliers, delivery services, credit bureaus and debt collection agencies; our ability to compete successfully against existing or new competitors; our ability to integrate acquisitions, strategic alliances and investments; our ability to adequately obtain, maintain, enforce and protect our intellectual property and similar proprietary rights; evolving nature of Kazakhstan’s legislative and regulatory framework; our ability to obtain or retain certain licenses, permits and approvals in a timely manner; our ability to successfully remediate the existing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our ability to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting; dependence on our subsidiaries for cash to fund our operations and expenses, including future dividend payments, if any; and risks related to other factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus relating to our initial public offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2024.

We operate in an evolving environment. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Form 6-K relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Form 6-K. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Corporate information

 

Overview

 

Joint Stock Company “Kaspi.kz” operates a two-sided Super App business model: the Kaspi.kz Super App for consumers and the Kaspi Pay Super App for merchants and entrepreneurs. Our offerings include payments, marketplace and fintech solutions for both consumers and merchants. Our business model, reinforced by our highly recognizable brand and continuing product innovation, generates powerful network effects, which has resulted in growth across all our platforms and strong financial performance.

 

Kaspi.kz Segments

 

Our segment reporting is based on our three business platforms:

 

Payments: Our Payments Platform facilitates transactions between and among merchants and consumers. For consumers, our Payments Platform is a highly convenient way to pay for shopping transactions, regular household bills and make peer-to-peer payments. For merchants, our Payments Platform enables them to accept payments online and in-store, issue and instantly settle invoices, pay suppliers and monitor merchants’ turnover. Our Payments Platform is our main customer acquisition tool and we consider it to be fundamental for high levels of customer engagement. Having achieved scale with consumers and merchants, our Payments Platform brings more value to consumers and merchants. Payments Platform proprietary data facilitates informed decision-making across multiple areas of our business.

 

Marketplace: Our Marketplace Platform connects both online and offline merchants with consumers, enabling merchants to increase their sales through an omnichannel strategy and allowing consumers to purchase a broad selection of products and services from a wide range of merchants. Marketplace has three main propositions—m-Commerce, e-Commerce and Kaspi Travel. m-Commerce is our mobile solution for shopping in person, while consumers can use e-Commerce to shop anywhere, anytime and typically with free delivery. Kaspi Travel allows consumers to book domestic and international flights, domestic rail tickets and international package holidays. We help merchants increase their sales by connecting them to our Payments and Fintech products, Kaspi Advertising and our delivery services. Other than in e-Grocery and car e-commerce, our Marketplace Platform is a “3P” model, enabling third-party merchants to sell their products directly to consumers. Following the completion of our investment in Kolesa JSC, we have access to widely recognized classifieds platforms in Kazakhstan and Autoelon.uz, an Uzbekistan car marketplace and member of the Kolesa Group.

 

Fintech: Our Fintech Platform provides consumers with BNPL, finance and savings products, and merchants with merchant finance services. All Fintech services can be accessed through our Super Apps, fully digitally, with users identified using Kaspi ID biometrics technology. We incentivize consumers and merchants to prepay any finance products prior to contractual maturity without penalty, which helps to drive frequency of transactions. We lend only in local currency and we fund our financing products mainly using Kaspi Deposits, which are primarily local currency savings accounts. As we add more opportunities to transact with the Kaspi.kz Super App, we anticipate that consumers will keep more of their deposits with us.

Income tax

 

The Group provides for taxes for the current period based on the tax accounts maintained and prepared in accordance with the respective tax regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and which may differ from IFRS.

 

The Group is subject to certain permanent tax differences due to non-tax deductibility of certain expenses and a tax-free regime for certain income.

 

Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. Temporary differences relate mostly to different methods of income and expense recognition as well as to recorded values of certain assets.

 

Deferred income tax liabilities comprise:

Share-based compensation

 

In 2023, the share option program was expanded to include more senior executives and other core Group personnel. The share-based awards are used to attract, incentivize and retain employees over the long-term by the management of the Group.

 

Share-based compensation expense

 

According to IFRS 2, this accelerates the recognition of compensation expenses resulting in a higher proportion of expenses being recognized in the early years of overall plan.

GDR Options

 

The fair value of GDR options at the date of grant is determined using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the five-year vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of the number of GDR options that will eventually vest. Recipients of GDR options are entitled to receive dividends once GDR options vested and exercised.

 

The inputs into the Black-Scholes model are as follows:

Assets and liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value

 

For financial assets and liabilities that have a short-term maturity (less than 3 months), it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair value. This assumption is also applied to demand deposits and savings accounts without a maturity.

 

Due from banks

 

The estimated fair value of term due from banks is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for due from banks with similar terms.

 

Loans to customers

 

Loans to individual customers are made at fixed rates. The fair value of fixed rate loans has been estimated by reference to the market rates available at the reporting date for loans with similar maturity profile.

 

Due to banks

 

The estimated fair value of due to banks is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for due to banks with similar terms.

 

Customer accounts

 

The estimated fair value of term deposits is determined by discounting contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar terms. For current accounts which are non-interest bearing, the Group considers fair value to equal carrying value, which is equivalent to the amount payable on the balance sheet date.

 

Debt securities issued, subordinated debt

 

Debt securities issued and subordinated debt are valued using quoted prices.
