Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance.

- Corporate information
Overview
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.
Marketplace: Our Marketplace Platform connects both online and offline merchants with consumers, enabling merchants to increase their sales through 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 brings a digital shopping experience to a merchant’s physical location, 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. All Marketplace services, except for Türkiye, are integrated with our Fintech and Payments Platforms. Other than in e-Grocery (which enables consumers to order groceries through the Kaspi.kz Super App with home delivery), part of e-Cars (which facilitates buying and selling used cars), and Türkiye Marketplace (which represents hybrid commerce model rooted in a unified 1P and 3P based catalogue), our Marketplace Platform is a “3P” model, enabling third-party merchants to sell their products directly to consumers.
Fintech: Our Fintech Platform provides consumers and merchants with BNPL, finance and deposit products. All our Fintech services can be accessed through our Super Apps, fully digitally, with users identified using Kaspi ID biometrics technology. We lend only in local currency and we fund our financing products mainly using deposit products, 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.

- 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 recognised in the early years of overall plan.
ADS Options
The fair value of ADS 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 ADS options that will eventually vest. Recipients of ADS options are entitled to receive dividends once ADS options vested and exercised.

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

Debt securities issued, subordinated debt
Debt securities issued and subordinated debt are valued using quoted prices.
In March 2025, the Group issued debt securities totaling USD 650 million at a fixed rate of 6.25% per annum and maturing in 2030.

- Regulatory matters
The management of Kaspi Bank JSC (“the Bank” - subsidiary of the Company) monitors capital adequacy ratio based on requirements of standardised approach of Basel Committee of Banking Supervision “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (December 2010, updated in June 2011).
The capital adequacy ratios calculated on the basis of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements under Basel III with updated RWA methodology are presented in the following table:
| 31 December<br><br>2024 | 31 March 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 capital (k1.2) | 17.6% | 18.8% |
| Total capital (k.2) | 18.3% | 18.8% |
The Bank complies with NBRK’s capital requirements. The minimum regulatory capital adequacy requirements are 6.5% for k1.2 and 8% for k.2, excluding a conservation buffer of 3% and systemic buffer of 1% for each.
The following table presents the Bank’s capital adequacy ratios in accordance with the NBRK requirements:
| 31 December<br><br>2024 | 31 March<br><br>2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 capital (k1.2) | 12.6% | 12.5% |
| Total capital (k.2) | 12.7% | 12.6% |
- Business combination
During the period ended 31 March 2025 we entered into select strategic alliance and potential strategic acquisition that is complementary to our business and operations, including opportunities that we believe can help us further improve growth across all our platforms and strong financial performance. The Group acquired 65.41% share in Hepsiburada on 29 January 2025.
The initial accounting for the acquisition of Hepsiburada has only been provisionally determined at the end of the reporting period. The main reason for being provisional is related to the reasonable time needed to obtain all of the information necessary to identify and measure net assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill, including the valuation of the acquired intangible assets. At the date of finalization of these interim condensed consolidated financial information, the necessary market valuations and other calculations had not been finalised and they have therefore only been provisionally determined based on the Group management’s best estimate.

The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the date of acquisition are set out in the table below:
| ASSETS: | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 43,962 |
| Financial assets at FVTPL | 3,492 |
| Due from banks | 1,924 |
| Loans to customers | 11,104 |

| Trade liabilities | 208,877 |
| Other liabilities | 46,411 |
| TOTAL LIABILITIES | 270,973 |
| Total identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed | 49,899 |
The non-controlling interest recognised at the acquisition date was measured by reference to the fair value and amounted to KZT 17,260 million.
Goodwill on acquisition
| Consideration transferred | 309,678 |
|---|---|
| Deferred Cash Consideration (recognised in Other liabilities) | 271,972 |
| Plus: Non-controlling interests | 17,260 |
| Less: Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired | (49,899) |
| Goodwill on acquisition | 549,011 |
Based on a provisional assessment of net assets, the Group has recognised goodwill on the acquisition transaction which amounted to KZT 549,011 million. The goodwill is primarily related to trademark, customer base, sales growth from future product and service offerings, new customers and expected synergies from the combination, together with certain intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The acquired business contributed revenues of KZT 147,379 million and net loss of
KZT 5,461 million to the Group for the period from 29 January 2025 to 31 March 2025. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2025, consolidated pro-forma revenue and net loss for the period ended 31 March 2025 would have been KZT 218,801 million and KZT 4,719 million, respectively.
