ANZ Update - targeting to deliver profitability within 15 months, underpinned by strong unit economics

Openpay's Q3 FY22 results continue to reinforce the ANZ business model with further momentum and improvement across lead indicators following a record Q2 FY22 that included the Christmas peak period.

Openpay ANZ achieved quarterly TTV of $86m, an increase of 54% vs pcp. In March alone, daily ANZ TTV averaged $1m, up 50% vs pcp. ANZ BNPL Revenue increased a substantial 65% pcp to reach $7.4m at the end of the quarter. This strong performance was coupled with our market-leading revenue margin of 8.6% (up 60bps vs pcp) and NTM of 3.3% (up 110bps vs pcp) in Q3 FY22.

Continued growth across key leading indicators, with Active Merchants reaching 4.1k, an increase of 22% vs pcp, driven by strong growth across key consumer segments. Active Customers grew at 23% vs pcp to reach over 312k in Q3 FY22 and Active Plans grew a strong 54% vs pcp to over 1.6m, highlighting increased demand for Openpay's payment plans and value proposition.

In March, Openpay's integration with e-commerce platform BigCommerce went live and is available in all Openpay's markets. In Australia, this has now facilitated well-known merchants such as Superdry (the first brand to launch under a broader deal with Brand Collective), Milano Republic, and Tool Kit Depot. Important to note that Brand Collective is also on the Apparel 21 POS platform with which we have a native integration. This aggregator partnership made the integration in-store with Superdry smooth and seamless. This is very much part of our channel partner aggregatorstrategy to scale merchants smartly across all our verticals. Other notable merchants signed in Q3 include Tyrepower, Clear Aligners Excellence, Howard Storage World, AFL Stores, and more. In Education, Openpay signed RMIT, with Openpay providing payment plans for students enrolling in online courses that don't receive Government Support (HECS).

Our targeted approach continues to deliver market-leading margins and together with business simplification and efficiencies, support Openpay's ambition to deliver profitability in ANZ within 15 months.

US Update - Continued progress

Openpay continues to progress its US operations, with the following key highlights during the quarter:

  • Opy advanced into other US jurisdictions, including the US states of Georgia and Wyoming, allowing Opy the ability to operate in 47 US States, with final states to be in place in the coming weeks.

  • Completed testing and tuning on the products in order to validate the larger ticket transactions Opy is targeting across chosen verticals.

  • Large (confidential) insurance partner successfully launched, with salesforce training and marketing initiatives underway.

  • Imminent launch of BNPL 2.0 pay by text innovative offering with partner Everyware, an exciting capability with strong applicability in Automotive and Healthcare where text scheduling and payments communications are very common.

  • Opy continues to attract very large ecosystems partners (like FIS and Amex) and large vertical-specific aggregators across target verticals. This is a central part of Opy's go-to-market strategy through revenue share deals with partners. Several new deals are in late stages of negotiation, including cross-vertical payments processing partners and vertical-specific partners offering Opy access to thousands of merchants and millions of consumers.

Openpay continues to work with investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW) on capital strategies to support the US growth, which may include direct equity or debt investment in Opy USA or its subsidiaries. Securing suitable capital funding is a critical milestone to enable Opy USA to proceed to full commercial launch and scale in the US.

While there is currently no certainty that an investment may eventuate, Openpay will continue to keep the market updated as appropriate.

UK Update - Exploring opportunities

Following the Company's January announcement, Openpay's UK operations and associated cost base have been significantly reduced, resulting in a release of capital back to Australia. Openpay will continue to explore opportunities to monetise the UK platform in a capital-light manner going forward.
