Exhibit 99.1
Lesaka Increases Revenue 9% for the Fourth Quarter, Exceeding the Upper End of its Revenue Guidance
Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis up 32%;
Net Loss for the Fourth Quarter Narrows to $11.9 Million, Inclusive of a $7.0 Million Non-Cash Impairment Charge and a $2.6 Million, Net of Deferred Taxes, Non-Cash PPA Amortization Charge
JOHANNESBURG, September 12, 2023 - Lesaka Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LSAK; JSE: LSK) today released results for the fourth quarter ("Q4 2023") and year ended June 30, 2023.
Performance Highlights for the Quarter Ended 30 June 2023:
- Revenue of $133.1 million (ZAR 2.5 billion)^1^ in Q4 2023, compared to $121.8 million (ZAR 1.9 billion)^1^ for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 ("Q4 2022"), with the 9% increase attributable to inclusion of the Connect Group for the full period and its continued outperformance, as well as the successful turnaround of the Consumer Division ("Consumer"). On a constant currency basis revenue grew 32%.
- The significant financial turnaround is demonstrated by a narrowing of the net loss to $11.9 million (ZAR 223.2 million)^1^ in Q4 2023, despite also including a non-cash impairment charge related to the pre-existing Merchant Division ("Merchant"), of $7.0 million (ZAR 131.9 million)^1^ and a non-cash PPA amortization charge of $3.6 million (ZAR 67.3 million). This compares to a net loss of $15.1 million (ZAR 235.8 million)^1^ in Q4 2022 and represents a 21% improvement. Excluding the impact of the non-cash impairment charge, Lesaka would have reported a net loss of $4.9 million (ZAR 91.2 million), representing a 68% improvement from the comparable prior year period.
- Operating loss was $6.6 million (ZAR 124.3 million)^1^ in Q4 2023, inclusive of $7.0 Million (ZAR 131.9 million) Non-Cash Impairment Charge and $3.6 million (ZAR 67.3 million) non-cash PPA Amortization Charge. This is a significant improvement compared to the operating loss of $10.1 million (ZAR 157.5 million)^1^ in Q4 2022, inclusive of a PPA Amortization Charge $3.7 Million (ZAR 57.6 million).
- Group Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure and reconciled in Attachment B, of $8.4million (ZAR 158.3 million)1 represents an improvement of 115% compared to the Q4 2022 Group Adjusted EBITDA of $3.9 million (ZAR 60.6 million)1. On a constant currency basis Group Adjusted EBITDA increased by 161%.
- Excellent performance from Merchant, delivering Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $8.2 million (ZAR 154.2 million)1 in Q4 2023. Outlook remains positive as Merchant extends its footprint across Southern Africa's largely untapped informal market.
- The Consumer Division reported a third consecutive quarter of profitability delivering Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 million (ZAR 46.5 million)^1^ in Q4 2023, compared to a loss of $1.2 million (ZAR 19.2 million)^1^ in Q4 2022. With the divisional turnaround largely complete, targeted interventions taken to grow the Consumer Division are yielding positive results with revenue increasing 26% on a constant currency basis, off a reduced cost base and in an increasingly difficult operating environment.
- Continued momentum in achieving positive net cash provided by operating activities of $9.8 million (ZAR 182.9 million) in Q4 2023, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $6.7 million (ZAR 104.1 million) in Q4 2022.
Lesaka Group CEO Chris Meyer said: "Fiscal 2023 represents a milestone for Lesaka. The successful turnaround in the Consumer Division, and the seamless integration of the Connect Group, enabled Lesaka to deliver continued growth and improved profitability despite the particularly challenging macroeconomic and socio-political conditions in South Africa. Simultaneously, our Merchant Division continues to outperform the acquisition base case, diversifying our business and positioning Lesaka as a true FinTech innovator. Our Consumer Division reported a third consecutive quarter of increasing profitability, evidencing our transition from turnaround to growth."
Mr. Meyer continued, "We continue to innovate and deliver market-leading solutions to our customers with our results demonstrating the value our customers place on our services and the resilience of our business model in a challenging environment. The continued digitalization of South Africa's informal economy serves as a durable catalyst for our business which we expect to continue over the long term."
- Translated at an average exchange rate of ZAR 18.74 to $1 for Q4 2023, ZAR 15.56 to $1 for Q4 2022 and ZAR 17.93 to $1 for Q3 2023. The ZAR weakened 20% against the U.S. dollar during Q4 2023 when compared to Q4 2022 and 5% when compared to the prior sequential quarter (Q3 2023).

(1) Group Adjusted EBITDA (loss), fundamental loss and fundamental loss per share are non-GAAP measures and are described below under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures-Group Adjusted EBITDA, and -Fundamental net loss and fundamental loss per share." See Attachment B for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss attributable to Lesaka to Group Adjusted EBITDA loss, and GAAP net loss to fundamental net loss and loss per share.
Factors Impacting Comparability of Q4 2023 and Q4 2022 Results
• Higher revenue: Revenues increased 32% in ZAR, primarily due to the contribution from the Connect Group ("Connect") in our Merchant for a full fiscal quarter for Q4 2023 compared with two and a half months for Q4 2022, and an increase in account and transaction fees as well as higher insurance and lending revenues in Consumer, which was partially offset by lower hardware sales revenue in our POS hardware distribution business given the lumpy nature of bulk sales.
• Lower operating losses: Operating losses decreased, delivering an improvement of 21% in ZAR compared with the Q4 2022 primarily due to the contribution from Connect, an improved operating performance by Consumer (including the positive impact following implementation of various cost reduction initiatives), which was partially offset by an increase in acquisition related intangible asset amortization and an impairment loss of $7.0 million.
• Higher net interest charge: The net interest charge increased to $4.6 million (ZAR 85.7 million) from $2.9 million (ZAR 45.6 million) due to the additional borrowings incurred in order to fund the acquisition of Connect, an increase in interest rates, as well as the debt acquired within the Connect Group itself.
• Foreign exchange movements: The U.S. dollar was 20% stronger against the ZAR during Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022, which negatively impacted our U.S. dollar denominated reported results.
Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity
Our chief operating decision maker is our Group Chief Executive Officer and he evaluates segment performance based on segment earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted for items mentioned in the next sentence ("Segment Adjusted EBITDA"). We do not allocate once-off items, stock-based compensation charges, certain lease charges, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, other items (including gains or losses on disposal of investments, fair value adjustments to equity securities, fair value adjustments to currency options), interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or loss from equity-accounted investments to our reportable segments. See Attachment B for a reconciliation of GAAP net income before tax to Group Adjusted EBITDA.
Merchant
Merchant revenue was $115.2 million in Q4 2023, up 31% compared with Q4 2022 on a constant currency basis. Segment revenue increased due to the contribution from Connect for a full fiscal quarter for Q4 2023 compared with two and a half months for Q4 2022, which was partially offset by lower hardware sales revenue given the lumpy nature of bulk sales. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to the inclusion of Connect for the full quarter, which was partially offset by lower hardware sales. Our Segment Adjusted EBITDA (loss) margin (calculated as Segment Adjusted EBITDA (loss) divided by segment revenue) for Q4 2023 and 2022 was 7% and 7.7%, respectively.
Consumer
Consumer revenue was $16.5 million in Q4 2023, 5% higher compared with Q4 2022 due to currency impacts. On a constant currency basis segment revenue increased 26% compared to Q4 2022 and 9% compared to Q3 2023. Segment revenue increased primarily due to higher insurance revenues, higher revenue from account holder fees given the increase in number of accounts and modest lending revenue growth. The cost reduction initiatives we initiated in fiscal 2022 delivered a significant reduction in the Consumer's operating expenses which resulted in a positive Segment Adjusted EBITDA contribution compared with a Segment Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q4 2022 costs. Our Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin for Q4 2023 and 2022 was 15.0% and (7.9%), respectively.
Group costs
Our group costs for fiscal 2023 decreased compared with the prior period due to lower consulting and legal fees. Group costs primarily include employee related costs in relation to employees specifically hired for group roles and costs related directly to managing the US-listed entity; expenditures related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; non-employee directors' fees; legal fees; group and US-listed related audit fees; and directors' and officers' insurance premiums.
Cash flow and liquidity
At June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $35.5 million and comprised of ZAR-denominated balances of ZAR 0.6 million ($29.2 million), U.S. dollar-denominated balances of $4.5 million, and other currency deposits, primarily Botswana pula, of $1.8 million, all amounts translated at exchange rates applicable as of June 30, 2023. The decrease in our unrestricted cash balances from June 30, 2022, was primarily due to the utilization of cash reserves to fund certain scheduled repayments of our borrowings, fully settle our revolving credit facility, purchase ATMs and safe assets, and to make an investment in working capital in our Consumer and Merchant operation, which was partially offset by the utilization of our available borrowings and a positive contribution from Connect and certain of our Consumer operations.
Outlook for the First Quarter 2024 ("Q1 2024") and Full Fiscal Year 2024 ("FY 2024")
While we report our financial results in USD, we measure our operating performance in ZAR, and as such we provide our guidance accordingly.
For Q1 2024, the quarter ending September 30, 2023 we expect:
- Revenue between ZAR 2.50 billion and ZAR 2.55 billion.
- Group Adjusted EBITDA between ZAR 160 million and ZAR 165 million.
For FY 2024, the year ending June 30, 2024, we expect:
- Revenue between ZAR 10.7 billion and ZAR11.7 billion.
- Group Adjusted EBITDA between ZAR 680 million and ZAR 740 million.
Management has provided its outlook regarding Group Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes certain charges. Management has not reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because guidance for the various reconciling items is not provided. Management is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because they cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of the company's control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
U.S. securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we disclose the reason for using these non-GAAP measures and provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The presentation of Group Adjusted EBITDA, Group Adjusted EBITDA margin, fundamental net (loss) income, fundamental (loss) earnings per share, and headline (loss) earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP Measures
Group Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for non-operational transactions (including loss on disposal of equity-accounted investments, gain related to fair value adjustments to currency options), (earnings) loss from equity-accounted investments, stock-based compensation charges, lease adjustments and once-off items. Lease adjustments reflect lease charges and once-off items represents non-recurring expense items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued. Group Adjusted EBITDA margin is Group Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
Fundamental net loss and fundamental loss per share
Fundamental net loss and loss per share is GAAP net loss and loss per share adjusted for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), stock-based compensation charges, and unusual non-recurring items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.
Fundamental net loss and loss per share for fiscal 2023 also includes change in tax rate, a net gain on disposal of equity-accounted investments, impairment losses related to an equity-accounted investment and an adjustment for an unrealized currency loss related to our non-core business which we are in the process of winding down. Fundamental net loss and loss per share for fiscal 2022 also includes adjustments for a gain related to fair value adjustments in respect of currency options, reorganization costs incurred, legacy processing adjustments, a gain on disposal of equity securities and a loss on disposal of equity-accounted investments.
Management believes that the Group Adjusted EBITDA, fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share metrics enhance its own evaluation, as well as an investor's understanding, of our financial performance. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP net loss attributable to Lesaka and these non-GAAP measures.
Headline (loss) earnings per share ("H(L)EPS")
The inclusion of H(L)EPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. H(L)EPS basic and diluted is calculated using net (loss) income which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline (loss) 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.
H(L)EPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net (loss) income adjusted for the impairment losses related to our equity-accounted investments and (profit) loss on sale of property, plant and equipment. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net (loss) income used to calculate (loss) earnings per share basic and diluted and H(L)EPS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline diluted (loss) earnings per share.

Once-off items are non-recurring in nature, however, certain items may be reported in multiple quarters. For instance, transaction costs include costs incurred related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued. The transactions can span multiple quarters, for instance in fiscal 2022 we incurred significant transaction costs related to the acquisition Connect over a number of quarters, and the transactions are generally non-recurring.
Non-recurring revenue not allocated to segments includes once off revenue recognized that we believe does not relate to either our Merchant or Consumer divisions. Employee misappropriation of company funds represents a once-off loss incurred. Expenses incurred related to close of legacy businesses represents costs incurred related to subsidiaries which we are in the process of deregistering/ liquidation and therefore we consider these costs non-operational and ad hoc in nature. Indirect tax provision includes non-recurring indirect taxes which have been provided related to prior periods following an on-going investigation from a tax authority. We incurred separation costs related to the termination of certain senior-level employees, including an executive officer and senior managers, during the fiscal year and we consider these specific terminations to be of a non-recurring nature. The legacy processing adjustments represents amounts we identified during fiscal 2022 related to prior periods that are payable to third parties. The allowance for doubtful EMI loans receivable relates to provision created in fiscal 2021 related to loan provided to certain of our then equity-accounted investments.

| Denominator for headline diluted loss per share | 63,805 | 61,619 | 63,134 | 58,364 |
Weighted average number of shares used to calculate headline diluted loss per share represents the denominator for basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest plus the effect of dilutive securities under GAAP. We use this number of fully-diluted shares outstanding to calculate headline diluted loss per share because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline diluted loss per share.
