Lesaka's Final FY2025 Results: Delivers on FY2025 Profitability Guidance, Reaffirms FY2026 Profitability & Net Revenue Outlook, and Sets FY2026 Profitability per Share Guidance, reflecting more than 100% Year-on-Year Growth

JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lesaka Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LSAK, JSE: LSK)) today released results for the fourth quarter ("Q4 2025") and full year of fiscal 2025 ("FY2025").

(1) Average exchange rates applicable for the purpose of translating our results of operations: ZAR 17.90 to $1 for FY2025, ZAR 18.68 for FY2024, ZAR 17.87 to $1 for Q4 2025, ZAR 18.47 to $1 for Q4 2024.

Commenting on the results, Lesaka Chairman Ali Mazanderani said, "FY2025 was a strong year for the Group, delivering on our profitability guidance and advancing key strategic priorities. We expect to maintain this momentum into FY2026, and are guiding for adjusted EBITDA growth of at least 35%. We have also introduced adjusted earnings per share guidance, expecting this to more than double in FY2026 to at least ZAR 4.60, from ZAR 2.29 per share this year."

Outlook: First Quarter 2026 ("Q1 2026") and Full Fiscal Year 2026 ("FY 2026") guidance

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 FY2026, the quarter ending September 30, 2025, we expect:

• Net Revenue between ZAR 1.50 billion and ZAR 1.65 billion.
• Group Adjusted EBITDA between ZAR 260 million and ZAR 300 million

For FY2026, the year ending June 30, 2026, we expect:

• Net Revenue between ZAR 6.4 billion and ZAR 6.9 billion
• Group Adjusted EBITDA between ZAR 1.25 billion and ZAR 1.45 billion
• Net Income Attributable to Lesaka to be positive.
• Adjusted earnings per share of at least ZAR 4.60, implying a year-on-year growth of greater than 100%.

Our FY2026 guidance excludes the impact of the Bank Zero acquisition announced (subject to regulatory approval by the Prudential Authority and the South African Reserve Bank and other customary closing conditions) and any unannounced mergers and acquisitions that we may conclude.

Management has provided its outlook regarding Revenue, Net Revenue, Group Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures and excludes certain revenue and charges. Management has not reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures 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 control of Lesaka and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are 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, Net Revenue, Adjusted earnings, Adjusted earnings per share, and headline (loss) earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to Attachment A for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Measures

Group adjusted EBITDA

Group Adjusted EBITDA is net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for non-operational transactions (including loss on disposal of equity-accounted investments), impairment loss, loss from equity-accounted investments, stock-based compensation charges and once-off items. Once-off items represent non-recurring expense items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.

Net Revenue

Net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure. Revenue is the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to net revenue. However, as a result of the restatement, we are unable to provide GAAP revenue on a historical basis and are therefore unable to provide a reconciliation of net revenue to GAAP revenue. The restatement is expected to result in an increase in GAAP revenue, with any increase in GAAP revenue expected to be offset by a corresponding increase in the cost of prepaid airtime vouchers ("Pinned Airtime") sold by us, resulting in no change to net revenue.

We generate revenue from the provision of transaction-processing services through our various platforms and service offerings. We use these platforms to (a) sell Pinned Airtime which was held as inventory, and (b) distribute pre-paid solutions including prepaid airtime vouchers (which we do not hold as inventory) ("Pinless Airtime"), prepaid electricity, gaming vouchers, and other products, to users of our platforms. We act as a principal when we sell Pinned Airtime that were held as inventory and record revenue and cost of sales on a gross basis when sold. We act as an agent in a transaction when we provide pre-paid solutions through our various platforms and services offerings because we do not control the good or service to be provided and we recognize revenue based on the amount that we are contractually entitled to receive for performing the distribution service on behalf of our customers using our platform. Our revenue under GAAP can fluctuate materially due to changes in the revenue mix between these revenue categories. Net Revenue is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as revenue presented under GAAP less (i) the cost of Pinned Airtime sold by us, and (ii) commissions paid to third parties selling all other agency-based pre-paid solutions (including Pinless Airtime, electricity and other products) provided through our distribution channels. We believe that the use of Net Revenue is meaningful to users of financial information because it seeks to eliminate the impact of the change in the revenue mix from the revenue categories over the periods presented.

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings 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.

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2025 also includes adjustments related to the changes in the fair value of equity securities (net of deferred tax), impairment loss related to goodwill and intangible assets, an adjustment for deferred tax adjustments to the valuation allowance for a subsidiary which released its valuation allowance related to net operating losses in full during Q4 2025, loss on disposal of equity-accounted investments and intangible asset amortization, net related to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2024 also includes an impairment loss related to an equity-accounted investment, unrealized currency loss related to our non-core business which we are in the process of winding down and a reversal of allowance for a doubtful loan receivable.

Management believes that the Group Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share metrics enhance its own evaluation, as well as an investor's understanding of our financial performance. Attachment A 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, impairment losses 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 2025 we incurred significant transaction costs related to the acquisitions of Adumo and Recharger over a number of quarters, and the transactions are generally non-recurring.

Indirect tax provision (release) recorded relates to the (reversal) recordal of a non-recurring indirect tax provision created in fiscal 2023 which was resolved in fiscal 2025 following settlement of the matter with the tax authority. Income recognized related to closure of legacy businesses represents (i) gains recognized related to the release of the foreign currency translation reserve on deconsolidation of a subsidiaries and (ii) costs incurred related to subsidiaries which we are in the process of deregistering/ liquidating and therefore we consider these costs non-operational and ad hoc in nature.

	Diluted, in USD	(0.04	)		(0.08	)

Year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Adjustments:

Calculation of the denominator for headline diluted loss per share

			Three months ended June 30,				Year ended June 30,
			2025		2024		2025		2024
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest under GAAP			81,186		64,527		76,466		64,179
		Denominator for headline diluted loss per share	81,186		64,527		76,466		64,179

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.
