Kaspi.kz's Q3 and 9M 2024 results demonstrate robust growth across all platforms. The company's consolidated revenue increased by 34% and net income by 23% year-over-year for the first nine months of 2024. This puts them on track for their full-year 2024 net income growth target of around 25%.

Key highlights include:

  • Marketplace GMV and revenue up 46% and 76% YoY respectively
  • e-Commerce GMV surged 95% YoY
  • Payment transactions increased 42% YoY
  • Fintech Platform TFV growth up 34% YoY

The acquisition of a controlling stake in Hepsiburada expands Kaspi.kz's market to 100 million people, potentially driving future growth. The proposed dividend of KZT850/ADS for Q3 2024 signals confidence in the company's financial health.

Overall, Kaspi.kz's diversified platform strategy and expansion efforts position it well for continued growth, making it an attractive option for investors seeking exposure to the fintech and e-commerce sectors in emerging markets.

Kaspi.kz's performance in 3Q and 9M 2024 showcases its strong market position and growth potential. The company's Super App strategy is paying off, with high user engagement at 72 transactions per month per consumer. This level of engagement is important for cross-selling and upselling opportunities across their ecosystem.

The standout performances in e-Commerce (GMV up 95% YoY) and e-Grocery (GMV up 88% YoY) indicate Kaspi.kz's successful penetration into high-growth segments. The launch of Kaspi Gift Cards and the rapid growth of Kaspi Tours (GMV up 302% YoY) demonstrate the company's ability to innovate and diversify its offerings.

The acquisition of Hepsiburada is a strategic move that not only expands Kaspi.kz's geographical footprint but also strengthens its position in the e-commerce market. This acquisition, combined with the potential participation in the privatization of the Humo payments system in Uzbekistan, signals Kaspi.kz's ambitious expansion plans in the region.

These developments position Kaspi.kz as a formidable player in the fintech and e-commerce space across Central Asia and potentially beyond, making it a company to watch for investors interested in emerging market growth stories.

  • We remain on track to deliver on our expectation of around 25% year-over-year full-year 2024 Kaspi.kz consolidated net income growth. With the return of Juma, the fourth quarter of 2024, should see accelerating growth and higher profitability, compared with 3Q 2024.

To the shareholders of Kaspi.kz:

Expanding our addressable market to 100 million people has been an important strategic priority for Kaspi.kz. On October 17th, we signed a definite agreement to acquire a controlling stake in Hepsiburada, one of Türkiye’s leading e-Commerce platforms.

Serving 12 million consumers and 101 thousand merchants, we believe Hepsiburada is a strong cultural fit with Kaspi.kz given its innovative culture, focus on providing high quality services to consumers and merchants and commitment to long-term sustainable growth. Like Kaspi.kz, Hepsiburada is a highly entrepreneurial company and home-grown e-Commerce champion, built by a visionary founder. Both companies are driven by a similar purpose, namely to improve consumers’ and merchants’ lives. Hepsiburada is EBITDA positive, which is a strong testament to its founder and management team who have focused on profitable growth rather than growth at all costs. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.

Turning to Kaspi.kz’s third quarter, where we continued to execute in line with our plans.

User engagement remains at record levels, with our consumers transacting 72 times per month, Payments transaction up 38% year-over-year and Marketplace purchases up 45%. We always aim to do more for our customers and strong transaction activity in turn is resulting in rapid momentum across our businesses.

Marketplace Platform GMV was up 46% year-over-year for the first nine months of the year. With the return of Juma in November, growth is expected to accelerate again compared to growth in the third quarter. Within Marketplace, our more recent initiatives continue to scale at a rapid rate. e-Grocery GMV increased 88% in the third quarter and in Kaspi Travel, GMV from Kaspi Tours increased 302%. Product innovation also continues at pace, with digital Kaspi Gift Cards added to Marketplace recently. 

The fourth quarter of the year has started well and the consumer and merchant environment remains healthy. As discussed before, our Fintech Platform is now seeing its Net Income growth accelerate, with a further step up in growth expected in the fourth quarter and our newly launched deposit account for merchants has gotten off to a great start. Payments Platform remains as healthy as ever.

Looking through the timing of marketing campaigns, we’re very much on track to deliver another year of strong top and bottom-line growth.

For the third quarter of 2024, our Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of KZT850/ADS, subject to shareholder approval.
