(The figures in brackets refer to the same period of 2011 unless otherwise specified.)

FIRST QUARTER 2012

  • The transaction volume for the first quarter was SEK 1,067,385 thousand (955 706), an increase of 11.7 per cent compared to the same period of last year.
  • Transaction-based revenue for the first quarter was SEK 7,660 thousand (7,284), up by 5.1 compared to the first quarter of 2011.
  • Profit/loss before amortization decreased by SEK 227 thousand to SEK 387 thousand (614).
  • Profit/loss after tax improved by SEK 77 thousand to SEK -1,172 thousand (-1,249).

  • Paynova has added the payment method Sofort, a type of direct payment that gives e-merchants access to consumers in a number of European countries.
  • Thanks to a new connection to the e-commerce solution Magento, Paynova can launch its entire range of payment services to all e-merchants that use the Magento platform.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

The transaction volume and gross revenue for the first quarter increased over the same period of last year. Cash flow is positive, but earnings are burdened by continued high costs for amortization. Sales activities are proceeding according to plan and have among other things resulted in an agreement with the online travel agency Resia that was signed at the end of the quarter. Aside from the Nordic region, we have also signed with new customers in the German and Italian markets.

Paynova's position as a wide platform for e-commerce was further improved during the period. Not only have we now integrated the e-commerce platform Magento, which gives all Magento merchants access to Paynova's services, we have also added the payment method Sofort, which is an important complement for the non-Nordic markets. In addition, Paynova is accentuating its capabilities for mobile payment solutions. In this area, Paynova has the major advantage of being an independent player that can deploy several different solutions side-byside in our platform, evaluate their performance and successively focus on the technology that is best received by the market.

First quarter revenue from the associated company Chinova was low. During the period, the company has enhanced its business model. In mid-May, following consultations with ChinaPay and the company's main financier, Chinova's board of directors decided to take the first step in upgrading the eMall in preparation for a full-scale launch that will have effects such as increased transaction growth starting in the third quarter of 2012.

Paynova is seeing rising demand for the value added service PLUS, which enables e-merchants to more easily reach multiple markets via an agreement with Paynova and achieve collective and efficient processing of payments from direct banks. I believe that this interest is fuelled by the fact that e-merchants' need to keep their organizations cost-effective and therefore see valuable benefits in simplified administration.

Simon Thaning, CEO

There is a high level of activity on the marketing side. A seminar Is planned for the autumn and a new website is expected to be launched before the summer of 2012.

Simon Thaning Stockholm, May 2011

RISK FACTORS

Through its business activities, Paynova is exposed to risks. The most significant risks in business activities include:

RISK FOR FRAUD

Paynova cooperates with leading players in the market to stay at the cutting edge of fraud prevention measures. The company works very actively to prevent fraud, but there is no guarantee that Paynova will not be a victim of fraud, beyond what is normally experienced in this type of business, or that Paynova's credibility will not be damaged in another way.

REGULATORY RISKS

Paynova has been PCI-certified (according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) since 2006 and constantly strives to improve and update its security as the PCI rules are tightened. Although Paynova works actively to prevent payments from being processed in contravention of the applicable rules and regulations of the card issuer networks, there is no guarantee that Paynova will not suffer damage in the future.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that Paynova will be unable to meet its payment obligations when due. Paynova focuses on minimizing this risk by among other things with the help of high cost control and good advance planning.

FINANCING RISK

Financing risk is defined as the risk that financing of operations will be difficult and/or expensive to obtain. In view of the company's current development, the Board's assessment is that no financing risk exists for the coming 12-month period. In the event of deviations from the planned development, the situation could change.

In addition to these risks, there are risks associated with currency exposure, dependency on key persons, market confidence, suppliers of financial services, products, systems and intellectual property rights.

A more detailed description of Paynova's risk exposure is provided in the company's annual report for 2011.
