  • Increased number of non-cash transactions driven by:
    • more users seduced by the convenience of non-cashtogether with increased acceptance of non-cashby merchants
    • higher average number of transaction due to new consumers habits, and payment facilities offered by merchants
  • Acceleration of transition of less mature regions during Covid time
  • Faster relative growth in retail payment (vs. commercial) notably due to faster consumer adaptation, regulatory and multiplication of payment channels

Strong impact of PowerCARD V4 on sales

PowerCARD V4, a unique micro-service & Cloud-native technology that accelerate the growth

  • HPS is witnessing unprecedented demand for its products, and specially Tier 1 banks, and we are continuing our efforts and deploying the required platforms to capture this demand.

Record of new orders in 2024

  • HPS is on pace to achieve during H2-2024 record new order intake this year: 3.5x the average sales of previous 3 years.
  • These new sales include 4 of the world's top 100 banks.
  • This will translate into MAD 550 million (USD 55 million) in new build which will flow through in the next 3-4 years and into MAD 80 million (USD 8 million) in additional annual SaaS revenue (recurring revenue) which will start in 2025/2026.

Low impact on 2024, but strong rebound in 2025 and 2026

  • Low level of new orders in 2023.
  • Signature of these large contracts will take place in Q4 2024, so contribution to 2024 revenue is limited.
  • New orders are weighted towards SaaS. This operating momentum isn't showing up in results and is temporarily depressing revenue growth and margins. For H1-2024, while EBITDA fell -5.6% YoY, if the projects had been in license mode, EBITDA would have increased by 25.4%.
  • With the new business above, HPS would be mechanically delivering more revenue and higher margins compared to On-premise model in 2025/2026.
