17
March
2015:
Mobile
and
online
payments
platform
and
logistics
software
provider SmartTrans
Holdings
Limited (ASX: SMA)
(‘SmartTrans’
or
‘the
Company’)
is
pleased
to
report
record
revenue
of
approximately
$260,000
in
February
against
a budget
of
$201,000
from
the
SmartPay
payments
platform
in
China.

This
represents
the
eighth
consecutive
month
of
revenue
growth
for
SmartTrans
in
China
and
what
is
particularly encouraging
is
that
the
result
was
achieved
during
Chinese
New
Year
which
is
traditionally
a
quieter
period
for
economic activity
in
China.
It
brings
the
Company’s
year
to
date
revenue
generated
through
the
SmartPay
platform
to
approximately $1.14
million
with
$705,000
earned
in
the
last
three
months.

Encouragingly,
approximately
70%
of
this
revenue
is
recurring
which
demonstrates
that
Chinese
consumers
are
starting
to embrace
subscription
(repeat)
billing
whereby
the
content
being
purchased
through
their
smartphones
is
being
automatically renewed
each
month.
As
such,
meaningful
passive
income
streams
are
now
being
generated
by
SmartTrans
in
China
and there
are
no
further
costs
associated
with
maintaining
this
revenue
stream.

With
the
addition
of
SmartTrans’
recently
announced
new
Direct
Carrier
billing
with
China
Mobile
enabling
App
and
content providers
to
sell
their
products
to
mobile
phone
users
in
China,
the
company
is
optimistic
about
continuing
to
grow
its
billing platform
user
base.

SmartTrans
is
also
please
to
confirm
that
the
type
of
content
being
purchased
by
Chinese
consumers
continues
to
broaden and
including
media
and
movies
content,
and
lifestyle
and
smartphone
games
Apps.
The
company
expects
purchasing
of good
and
services
through
smartphones
to
continue
to
grow
in
China.

SmartTrans
is
also
pleased
to
report
that
its
customer
acquisition
costs
for
its
China
operations
are
almost
20%
less
than forecast
as
the
company
continues
to
optimise
and
refine
its
customer
acquisition
strategy.

SmartTrans
Managing
Director,
Bryan
Carr,
commented:
“February’s
record
SmartPay
revenue
is
an
exceptionally
pleasing result,
a
strong
endorsement
of
our
strategy
and
further
validation
of
the
SmartPay
platform.
In
less
than
eight
months,
we have
built
a
business
where
monthly
revenue
has
increased
more
than
tenfold.
What
should
not
be
undervalued
is
the
large percentage
of
monthly
recurring
revenue
which
comes
at
no
further
cost
to
the
company.

“We
are
building
on
the
existing
agreements
we
have
with
third-­‐party
content
providers
in
China
and
we
expect
to
see increased
uptake
of
the
SmartPay
platform
by
many
more,
which
will
further
enhance
and
grow
sources
of
revenue
for
the Company.

“We
are
also
focused
on
reducing
our
cost
to
acquire
and
bill
new
customers
in
China
and
the
fact
that
our
expenses
are
20% lower
than
forecast
is
a
great
result
which
will
lead
to
increased
overall
profitability
from
SmartPay.

“Our
focus
remains
on
top
line
growth
and
building
a
sustainable
revenue
base
which
is
both
recurring
and
diverse
in
nature. As
such,
we
are
investing
in
attracting
new
third
parties
to
use
SmartPay,
as
well
as
locking
in
new
content
marketing
and distribution
agreements
for
third
parties
who
wish
to
market
their
content
to
a
much
larger
Chinese
consumer
base.
The recent
agreement
with
China
Mobile
in
Guangdong
Province
is
evidence
of
this.

“Whilst
the
growth
and
development
of
the
China
business
is
our
priority
with
new
agreements
pending,
we
also
expect
to shortly
announce
new
developments
with
our
logistics
software
business.
Our
growing
revenue
streams
and
reduced
costs clearly
demonstrate
where
we
are
heading
as
a
business.”
