Q1FY22 Update

Gross Transaction Value during the quarter grew to INR 31K Cr (growth of 35% q-o-q and 65% y-o-y)

Transactions based revenue during the quarter grew from INR 155 Cr to INR 199 Cr (growth of 29% q-o-q and 56% y-o-y)

AePS market share increased to 15.9% in the quarter compared to 13.7% in FY21

Repeat Customers transacted on AePS increased to 21Mn from 17Mn in the previous quarter

The growth in the quarter was primarily driven by the significant growth in Adhikari base in Q4FY21. Growth in Adhikari base has been driven by zero investment marketing campaign which aimed at reducing the entry barriers (entry fee, device cost etc) for new Adhikaris joining the platform and removing engagement barriers for existing Adhikaris to grow business.

Our coverage improved from 140 dense districts to 186 dense districts q-o-q, with total reach in 708 districts

Key Metrics

*Dense District = A district where there is at least 1 Adhikari per 1,000 rural population.

*AePS off-us value market share

Creating a strong repeat end consumer franchise

While focusing on adding new customers through increase in reach, Spice Money is also building a strong repeat customer franchise.

*Repeat customers transacted during the quarter means returning customers who have transacted in earlier periods.

Investing behind Accelerated Transactions Growth

  • Positive unit economics business model
  • Operating leverage to be driven by transactions growth

Launching new Products for Bharat

mATM

  • mATM allows customer to transact using Debit Card (in addition to Aadhaar via AePS). Adhikari needs a small pinpad device, which works with our app to enable these transactions.
  • Launched in Jan 2019 and attained market leadership
  • 78K SMAs equipped with mATM devices as of Mar21
  • Driving device affordability to penetrate the market.
  • 3x growth in FY21. We continue to drive this as a high growth product

NEW LAUNCH

Enterprise Cash Management

  • Problem Statement Enterprises (eg Microfinance NBFCs, Logistics companies, etc) collect cash in rural through their representatives who need to go back to their urban branches end of the day to deposit cash. Branch manager then deposits cash in a Bank branch. Cash management risk and hassles. Limited by banking hours.
  • Solution Such representatives now deposit cash at nearby Spice Money Adhikari in the village. Enterprises get near real time credit. Adhikari uses this cash to serve customers with cash withdrawal services.

• Focus growth product for FY22.

Building a Phygital Super App for Bharat

Growth Levers

  • Expanding geographical reach
  • Deepening presence in key clusters

Spice Money Accelerating Growth of Entrepreneurs Network (Spice Money Adhikaris)

Expanding Service Portfolio

Enhancing Brand Visibility

  • Strengthen core banking and payments use cases with new products
  • Enable delivery of financial services (savings, insurance, credit) and digital services (travel, healthcare, government services, etc)

  • Aspire to emerge as the most trusted FinTech brand in rural India
  • Entered into strategic partnership with Sonu Sood to design new initiatives and products that will bridge the divide between rural and urban India

Financials (Spice Money)

27% q-o-q growth in Q1FY22 is driven by the campaign during Q4FY21, which translated into revenues in the current quarter.

Revenue profile

  • Service fee revenue Commission income from transactions
  • Airtime sale revenue Revenue on airtime top-ups transactions. The transaction value is accounted as revenue
  • Acquisition and device revenue Revenue on sale of devices (mATM, biometric etc. ) and revenue from entry fee charged

Focused on driving transactions revenue

* EBITDA is before other income and exceptional items

Sequentially, the EBITDA improved from INR (-)1.6cr to INR 3.8cr because of increase in revenue this quarter, and additional expenses towards zero fee campaign in Q4FY21, part of which did not continue in Q1FY22.

Compared to Q1FY21 the EBITDA moved from INR 9.9cr to INR 3.8cr primarily because of the tailwind in Q1FY21 driven by the pandemic related subsidies granted by the Government. EBITDA in that quarter reflected a significant jump due to this.

Post that, the focus has been on investing behind growth (removing entry and engagement barriers and focusing on transactions-based growth) and organization capacity and capability.
