Exhibit 99.1

Net 1 Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2020 Results

JOHANNESBURG, September 10, 2020 - Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: UEPS; JSE: NT1) today released results for the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended June 30, 2020.

Q4 2020 Highlights and Recent Developments:

  • At June 30, 2020, had unrestricted cash of $218 million and no debt
  • Revenue of $26.0 million, excluding the impact of the 2019 SASSA implementation fee refund, was down year-over-year reflecting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on fees and financial services;
  • GAAP EPS of $(0.68) and Fundamental EPS of $(0.22); and
  • Operating loss of $13.2 million and adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.2 million.

Strategic Review:

Following completion of the strategic review, our board has realigned Net1 to focus on, and invest in, its core competencies and portfolio of assets within the South African market. We aim to renew Net1 by building on the unique suite of financial technology products that is the profitable heart of our business in order, to provide an end-to-end value proposition for underserved participants in the economy. We believe that Net1 is extremely well-positioned to be a dynamic, catalyzing and positive force for our customers, empowering individuals and small businesses with credit, insurance and payment services.

"South Africa is, and always has been, the engine room of Net1," said Alex Smith, Net1's chief financial officer. "Following our strategic review, we intend to focus our incremental capital and management resources to scale up our South African businesses, and return Net1 to a sustainable, cash generative business. Efficient capital allocation will drive our strategy during fiscal 2021 and beyond in order to generate the best return for the business and for shareholders."

"Economic activity levels in South Africa remain challenging due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, particularly its wider impact on the macroeconomic environment. We have, however, begun reinvesting in our South African operations and are pleased with the demand for our transactional and financial services since the relaxation of lockdown restrictions in June," he added.

Investment Company

As previously communicated, we are in the process of more formally determining our status under the Investment Company Act. We currently have an authorisation in place to repurchase up to $100 million of shares, however we will not be able to use the authorisation unless and until we can reliably conclude that we will not be considered to be an investment company. We intend to return excess capital to shareholders once this matter is resolved.

Succession plan for CEO

On August 5, 2020, we announced that, after 22 years with our company, Herman G. Kotzé will be stepping down on September 30, 2020, as Net1's CEO and director. Alex Smith will take over as the interim CEO upon Mr. Kotzé's departure, until the board finalizes the appointment of a permanent CEO. To ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Kotzé has agreed to provide consulting services to Net1 through May 31, 2021.

(R) 2019 restated to correct an error identified related to the loss recorded related to the disposal of discontinued operation and to correct errors identified by our equity method investment - Finbond Group Limited. The financial information for the three months June 30, 2019, has been restated with the effect of decreasing GAAP net loss by $0.6 million and decreasing GAAP loss per share by $0.01, respectively. The financial information for the year ended June 30, 2019, has been restated with the effect of increasing GAAP net loss by $3.4 million and increasing GAAP loss per share by $0.06, respectively

(1) Adjusted EBITDA (loss), fundamental loss and fundamental loss per share are non-GAAP measures and are described below under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures-EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and -Fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share." See Attachment B for a reconciliation of GAAP operating loss to EBITDA (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (loss), and GAAP net loss to fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share.

Business update related to COVID-19 pandemic

While our business was significantly impacted by the initial lockdown period from March 27 to May 31, we have since been able to reopen all of our operations. While we continue to be affected by the broader macroeconomic conditions that have resulted from the pandemic, we believe that there are opportunities for us in providing financial services and exploiting some of the emerging trends in electronic payment methods and related areas.

The net impact of the lockdown on our results was an EBITDA loss of ZAR 32.0 million during the fourth quarter. We were unable to charge approximately ZAR 27.0 million of withdrawal fees under the pandemic regulations and our micro-lending and insurance businesses were unable to operate during the initial lockdown period. We also saw a 10% reduction in utilisation of our ATMs during this period. The unwinding of the loan book and the resulting impact on revenue reduced EBITDA by a further ZAR 22.0 million and we incurred around ZAR 3.0 million of costs directly related to the pandemic. We were able to partially offset these reductions through access to approximately ZAR 20.0 million of government relief for the businesses that were unable to operate.

In June, we saw some recovery with loan advances picking up strongly and the utilisation of our ATMs returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, which is encouraging and we are now actively looking to expand this customer base.

Factors impacting comparability of our Q4 2020 and Q4 2019 results

Higher revenue: Our revenues increased 86% in ZAR primarily due to the impact of the 2019 SASSA implementation fee reversal, which was partially offset by lower South African transaction fees, lower ad-hoc technology sales and lower international processing volumes;

Ongoing operating losses: While operating costs have reduced significantly, we continue to experience operating losses in South Africa and internationally, as a result of depressed revenues and challenging trading conditions during the COVID-19 outbreak; and

Adverse foreign exchange movements: The U.S. dollar appreciated 22% against the ZAR compared to Q4 2020, which adversely impacted our reported results.

Results of Operations by Segment and Liquidity

South African transaction processing

Segment revenue was $14.2 million in Q4 2020, down 9%, compared with Q4 2019 and also down 20% compared to Q3 2020 on a constant currency basis. The decrease in segment revenue was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on our EPE transaction fees and volumes, as well as the disposal of FIHRST, which were partially offset by higher fees from other transacting businesses. Our revenue for Q4 2020 was adversely impacted by ZAR 27.0 million ($1.6 million) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as we were unable to charge certain cash withdrawal fees. The higher operating loss in the segment is primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on our operating activities as discussed above. Our operating loss margin for Q4 2020 and 2019 was (32.1%) and (13.1%), respectively.

International transaction processing

Segment revenue from continuing operations was $1.4 million in Q4 2020, down 12% on a constant currency basis compared with Q4 2019 and down from $1.6 million in Q3 2020. Segment revenue from continuing operations was lower during Q4 2020, primarily due to an ongoing contraction in IPG transaction volumes. Operating loss from continuing operations during Q4 2020 increased compared with fiscal 2019 due to higher operating losses incurred by IPG, reflecting the high fixed costs component of the business. Our operating loss margin for Q4 2020 and 2019 was (289.6%) and (138.1%), respectively.

Financial inclusion and applied technologies

Segment revenue was $12.6 million in Q4 2020, down 13% on a constant currency basis compared with Q4 2020 and also down from $17.7 million in Q3 2020. Prepaid airtime sales were also modestly lower than Q4 2019. Operating loss for this operating segment for Q4 2019 included a goodwill impairment of $6.2 million. Operating loss for Q4 2020 improved compared with fiscal 2019 primarily due to better utilization of our infrastructure, which was partially offset by higher fixed costs incurred and includes a $1.3 million inventory write-down related to Cell C prepaid airtime. The COVID impact on this segment was not significant due to government assistance largely offsetting the revenue impact. Our operating loss margin for the Financial inclusion and applied technologies segment was (19.3%) and (61.2%) during Q4 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our operating loss margin for Q4 2020 excluding the $1.3 inventory write-down was (8.9%) and for Q4 2019 excluding the goodwill impairment was (25.9%), respectively.

Corporate/eliminations

Our corporate expenses decreased primarily due to the inclusion of the impact of the 2019 SASSA implementation fee reversal in Q4 2019 and lower acquired intangible asset amortization expense in Q4 2020 related to intangible assets that were fully amortized during Q4 2019.

Cash flow and liquidity

At June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $217.7 million, which comprised U.S. dollar-denominated balances of $171.3 million, ZAR-denominated balances of ZAR 750.9 million ($43.3 million), and other currency deposits, primarily Botswana pula, of $3.0 million, all amounts translated at exchange rates applicable as of June 30, 2020. The increase in our unrestricted cash balances from June 30, 2019, was primarily due to the sale of our Korean operations, FIHRST and the majority of our remaining interest in DNI for cash; and the repayment of a loan outstanding by DNI as of June 30, 2019; which was partially offset by weak trading activities, payment of a termination fee to cancel our Bank Frick option, repayment of our short-term borrowings, capital expenditures, and an additional investment in V2.

Our cash used in operating activities during Q4 2020 was impacted by the cash losses incurred by the majority of our continuing operations, the payment of the $17.5 million option termination fee and the recommencement of lending activities. We were permitted to commence origination of loans in June following the relaxation of the temporary COVID-19 restrictions imposed on our lending activities in March 2020. Capital expenditures for Q4 2020 and 2019 were $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, with Q4 2020 capital expenditures relating primarily to the acquisition of point of sale devices in South Africa to deploy to merchants.

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 EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share and headline (loss) earnings per share are non-GAAP measures.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is GAAP operating (loss) income adjusted for depreciation and amortization and, if applicable, impairment losses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued, the accrual of the 2019 SASSA implementation fee reversal and adjustment related to retrenchment costs paid.

Fundamental net (loss) income and fundamental (loss) earnings per share

Fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share is GAAP net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share adjusted for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), the amortization of intangible assets (net of deferred taxes) related to equity-accounted investments, stock-based compensation charges, and unusual non-recurring items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.

Fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share for fiscal 2020 also includes an adjustment for the termination fee paid to cancel the Bank Frick option, impairment losses related to our equity-accounted investments, the gain related to the disposal of Net1 Korea, the gain related to the disposal of FIHRST, the loss related to the deconsolidation of CPS, interest related to SASSA implementation costs refund, and fiscal 2019 also includes gain (loss) related to the disposal of DNI, the accretion of interest related to the DNI contingent consideration, retrenchment costs (net of taxes), the non-controlling interest portion of the amortization of intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), and the amortization of debt facility fees.

Management believes that the EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share metric enhances its own evaluation, as well as an investor's understanding, of our financial performance. Attachment B presents the reconciliation between GAAP operating income and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; and GAAP net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share and fundamental net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share.

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, the gain related to the disposal of Net1 Korea, the gain on disposal of FIHRST, the loss related to the deconsolidation of CPS, the loss related to the disposal of DNI, impairment loss 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 HE(L)PS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline diluted (loss) earnings per share.

Calculation of the denominator for headline diluted loss per share

Denominator for headline diluted loss per share 57,119 56,804 56,764 56,778

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.
