Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING) announced today its revenue
figures for the third quarter of 2015.
Philippe Lazare, the Chairman and CEO of Ingenico Group, commented: "Once again,
Ingenico Group performed outstandingly in the third quarter. We made gains
across all regions, with an expanding share of the market in the main countries.
We grew organically our business in the United States by 69% and we expect
double-digit growth next year. In China, Ingenico Group has sustained its rapid
expansion.
At the same time, we have continued to deploy our payment services offering with
the signature of a cross-channel contract. Ingenico Group also developed this
quarter new innovative solutions for its online activity, to be launched
beginning of next year. These new functionalities on our platforms will offer e-
merchants unique service beyond payment transactions processing.
On this basis, we have raised both our revenue and profitability guidance for
the year. As a result, in 2015, we will have reached one year in advance our
mid-term objectives that were set for end of 2016."
Key highlights
Appointment of Pierre-Antoine Vacheron to head e-Payments division and Nathalie
Lomon as Chief Financial Officer
In early October, Pierre-Antoine Vacheron was appointed EVP e-Payments, with
responsibility for worldwide deployment of the Group's online payment business.
He will also be overseeing all technologies and platforms for Ingenico Payment
Services. Nathalie Lomon was appointed Chief Financial Officer, and will thus be
taking over responsibility for Group financial management from Pierre-Antoine
Vacheron.
Key advances in the cross-channel offering in Europe
In September 2015, Ingenico Group began deploying its cross-channel solution for
Picard Surgelés, opening windows of opportunity to build customer loyalty while
maintaining high payment data security. The frozen food retailer now has access
to a web interface that centralizes cross-channel payment transactions. Thanks
to this statistical analysis data, Picard Surgelés can better define buyer
profiles and analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign.
New functionalities for online payment platforms and ramp-up of data analytics
solutions
The e-Payments teams have developed a toolkit to help CIOs who need to set up
and customize their payment pages fast. This solution eases the integration of
payment functionalities to produce more user-friendly payment pages. Therefore
online payment by end consumers is maximized whether it is from their computers,
smartphones or tablets. This "best-in-class" solution helps boosting online
customer conversion rates. It is currently in the test phase at two retail
outfits, with roll-out scheduled to begin in January 2016.
At the same time, deployment of the Elevate data analytics tool has started at
major global retail chains, enabling them to access data associated with the
full range of their online transactions.
Revenue
To facilitate the assessment of the Group's performance, consolidated revenue
for the first nine months of 2015 is compared here with restated (or pro forma)
revenue, with effect from January 1, 2014, to reflect the consolidation of
GlobalCollect, which took place during fiscal year 2014.
To reflect the enlarged scope of its business, Ingenico Group is now organized
into five divisions: Europe & Africa (the former SEPA and EMEA segments, without
the Middle East), Asia-Pacific and Middle East, Latin America, North America and
e-Payments.

Performance in the first nine months
In the first nine months of 2015, revenue totaled ?1.606 billion, representing a
48% increase on a reported basis, including a positive foreign exchange impact
of ?85 million. Total revenue included ?1,113 million generated by the Terminals
business and ?493 million generated by Payment Services.
On a comparable basis,(1) revenue growth was 15% higher than in the prior-year
period, due to double-digit growth in both segments. Growth in Terminals (up
16%) was driven by EMV migration in the United States, continuous equipment
expansion in emerging markets, most specifically for wireless terminals, and NFC
deployment. Revenue growth in Payment Services business also showed a 12%
increase, thanks to good performance for in-store and online payment solutions.
Since the start of the year, all regions have contributed to the Group's overall
performance. In Europe-Africa, Ingenico Group has been buoyed by in-store
transaction growth and terminal renewal cycles. With high growth since the
beginning of the year in North America, and particularly in the United States
(up 81%), the Group has made further market shares' gains, supported by the EMV
migration process still under way. In the emerging countries, Ingenico Group has
continued to enjoy booming business despite an unfavorable macroeconomic
environment, above all in China (up 24%) and Brazil (up 40%).
The e-Payments division has booked a double digit growth.
Performance in the third quarter
In the third quarter of 2015, revenue totaled ?548 million, representing a 44%
increase on a reported basis, including a positive foreign exchange impact of
?16 million. Total revenue included ?388 million from the Terminals business and
?160 million from Payment Services.
On a comparable basis(1), revenue growth was 15% above Q3 2014. Growth in
Payment terminals (up 19%) was again driven by dynamism in Chinese and American
markets. Payment services performance (up 5%) was mixed. On one side in-store
payment services and online activities for small and medium merchants continued
to register double digit growth. On the other side, the third quarter was
affected by decreasing volumes from one key account in collecting business.
Excluding this event on e-Payments, Payment Services growth would have been
10%.
Compared with Q3 2014, performance for the third quarter by geography, on a
like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates, was as follows:
- Europe-Africa (up 5%): Ingenico Group once again turned in solid performance,
driven most specifically by the United Kingdom and Germany. In this country, the
Group expanded its footprint across all segments. A fresh wave of terminal
replacements prompted by new regulations boosted the Terminals business, while
new customer wins and an expanding transaction market led to strong growth in
in-store processing and acquiring services. In Russia, despite unfavorable
economic conditions, the Group returned to good dynamics with market shares
gains. At the same time, business was solid in South Africa.
Moreover, deployment during the quarter of the Group's tokenization solution at
Picard Surgelés in France has set the stage for the launch of a single, cross-
channel offering in Europe.
- Asia-Pacific and Middle East (up 20%): Ingenico Group maintained its solid
performance in China (up 23%), driven by Landi's leadership and the Chinese
market's continued vitality, above all in banking segment. A positive product
mix once again proved beneficial. In India, Ingenico Group doubled its revenue,
thanks to the implementation of the government's program to boost electronic
payment through tax incentives. In Turkey, additional certifications and a
consolidated distribution network, particularly for banks, boosted sales, as
anticipated. Growth is expected to continue in the region despite a high
comparison basis due to large sales in Q4 2014.
- Latin America (up 35%): Ingenico Group again recorded high growth in Brazil,
driven by large orders from all acquirers in anticipation of the economic
situation evolution. They were eager to update their estates of wireless and
mPOS terminals throughout the country. The Group anticipates a slight fall off
in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the unfavorable macroeconomic environment
and a high basis of comparison.
In the third quarter of 2015, business continued to increase particularly in
Colombia, Peru and Central America where customers continued deployments of
Telium products. Mexico saw an increase in activity after an early year slowdown
due to significant terminal upgrades that took place in fourth quarter last
year. This trend is expected to continue through the next several quarters.
- North America (up 46%): Ingenico Group continued to enjoy remarkable business
growth in the United States (up 69%), driven by EMV migration whatever the
merchant size, with strong demand across all segments, mPOS included (up 111%).
With the additional certifications it recently obtained, Ingenico Group is
strengthening its position, attracting new customers and penetrating new
vertical markets like hospitality, where EMV migration is just beginning. With
an EMV migration still ongoing, Group expansion in new verticals and a contract
with one of the largest US retailers, Ingenico Group is confident and confirms a
double digit growth in the next quarters. In Canada, despite exceptional
performance in 2014, business is still dynamic.
- e-Payments (0%): Ingenico Group's performance in e-Payments was affected by a
significant decrease in volumes from a major client during the third quarter (a
source of roughly ?50 million in yearly revenue). However underlying performance
had again a double digit growth on small and medium-sized merchants. The Group
expects a gradual return to double digit growth throughout 2016. From a
technical point of view, the entity finalized the development of data analytics
tools and new functionalities for its ePayment platforms that will be rolled out
in 2016.
Outlook
During the first nine months of 2015, Ingenico Group recorded robust
performance, both in Payment Terminals and Payment Services.
In this context, Ingenico Group is raising its guidance for organic growth at
12% to 13% (vs. 10% to 12% previously), which should translate into annual
revenue in the vicinity of ?2.18 billion.
Moreover, the Group is raising its guidance for the EBITDA margin, which it now
expects to reach roughly 23%, whereas the EBITDA margin was previously announced
to be greater than or equal to 22%.
