Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

 

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of QIWI plc and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of June 30, 2024, the related interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim condensed consolidated financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim condensed consolidated financial information for it to be in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 22, 2024, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

 

Receivable from the sale of the Russian business

 

As described in Note 4 to the interim condensed consolidated financial information, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell its Russian business representing a disposal group (the Transaction). On February 21, 2024, Central Bank of Russia revoked banking license of QIWI Bank which is a significant subsidiary within the disposal group. At the request of the buyer in May, 2024, August, 2024 and November 2024 the Group postponed certain payment dates for the Transaction receivable. Note 4 further describes financial impact of these events and uncertainties regarding the terms of settlement and the value of receivable that could be ultimately recovered.

 

Basis for Review Results

 

This interim condensed consolidated financial information is the responsibility of the Group’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim consolidated condensed financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (Unaudited)

 

(in thousands of US Dollars, except when otherwise indicated)

 

1.Corporate Information and description of business

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of QIWI plc (hereinafter “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were authorized for issue on December 17, 2024.

 

The Company was registered on February 26, 2007 as a limited liability company OE Investments in Cyprus under the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. The registered office of the Company is Kennedy 12, Kennedy Business Centre, 2nd Floor, P.C.1087, Nicosia, Cyprus.

 

On September 13, 2010 the directors of the Company resolved to change the name of the Company from OE Investments Limited to QIWI Limited and later to QIWI plc, On August 27, 2024 the shareholders of the Company approved the change of name of the Company from QIWI PLC to NanduQ PLC.

 

Sergey Solonin is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Group as of June 30, 2024.

 

Information on the Company’s principal subsidiaries is disclosed in Note 3.

 

The Group operates electronic online payment system primarily in Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other countries and provides consumer and small and medium enterprises (SME) financial services. Until January 19, 2024, the majority of the Group’s business was conducted in Russia. On the above date, the Group sold its 100% share in QIWI JSC, the holding company for its Russian business, to a related party (see Note 4).

2.Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies

 

2.1. Basis of preparation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars (“USD”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2023, included in the annual report on form 20-F. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRSs”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements.

 

2.2. Going concern

 

The disposal of the Group’s Russian business in January 2024 (Note 4) included QIWI Bank which also served as a significant vendor and partner for various cross-border transactions, including certain products and services of the Group’s international businesses. In February 2024, QIWI Bank’s banking license was revoked by the Central Bank of Russia, which resulted in a significant decline in the Group’s continuing operations. The Group is actively searching for new business partnerships and streams critical for development of its operations and rebuilding its revenue. As of the reporting date, the Group’s current assets exceed its current liabilities by 272,595. The Group’s current assets include the amount receivable from the sale of QIWI JSC (Note 4). The Group has sufficient liquidity on its statement of financial position and management believes that the Group will operate as a going concern in the foreseeable future; accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

2.3. New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of new and amended IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations effective as of January 1, 2024. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The following amended standards and interpretations became effective for the Group from January 1, 2024, but did not have any material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group:

 

-Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (issued on January 23, 2020) and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (issued on October 31, 2022)
-Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (issued in September 2022)
-Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (issued on May 25, 2023)

 

2.4 Standards issued but not yet effective

 

The following other new pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements when adopted:

 

-Lack of Exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21 (effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025)
-Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28) – the effective date for these Amendments was deferred indefinitely. Early adoption continues to be permitted.

 

2.5 Changes in functional and presentation currency

 

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The primary economic environment in which an entity operates is normally the one it primary generates and expend cash. Due to the sale of the Russian business in January 2024 and changes in relevant underlying events and circumstances, the Company performed an analysis as to which currency is the most appropriate to be considered as the functional currency based on the factors determined in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The Company determined that after the sale of the Russian business the main part of Group’s cash is generated and expended in US Dollars. Effective from January 1, 2024 the Company has adopted the change in functional currency from Russian ruble to US Dollar.

 

Along with the change in the functional currency, the Company has changed the presentation currency of interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Effective from January 1, 2024, the Group has adopted the US Dollar as presentation currency, replacing the Russian ruble which was used up until December 31, 2023.

 

This change in the presentation currency is in line with the Group’s strategic decision to align its financial reporting more closely with its international operations and investor base. The US dollar is a widely accepted currency for international transactions and is expected to provide a more stable measure for financial reporting. Management believes that this change will enhance the comparability of the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements with its global peers and provide more clarity to the stakeholders regarding the Group’s financial performance. All future financial reports will be presented in US Dollars from this point onwards.

2.5 Changes in functional and presentation currency (continued)

 

The change in functional currency has been accounted for prospectively in accordance with IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The change in the financial statement presentation currency is considered an accounting policy change and has been accounted for retrospectively. Accordingly, for the purpose of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements the comparative information was recalculated into US Dollar in line with the requirements of IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, specifically:

 

-Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rate at the comparative reporting date.
-Items of income and expenses, capital transactions and cash flows relating to the transactions in previous period are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction dates.
-Equity items were translated at the historical exchange rate starting from December 31, 2010 representing the earliest day from which it was practicable to perform a restatement, given the lack of sufficiently reliable data for earlier periods, except for the transactions which resulted in Additional paid-in-capital and Share premium which were translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
-All resulting exchange differences arising from the translation are included as a separate component of other comprehensive income and Translation reserve in equity.

 

2.6 Restatement of previously reported financial information due to change in presentation currency and due to discontinued operation

 

For comparative purposes, the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023 includes an adjustment to reflect the change in the presentation currency to the US Dollars, which is a change in accounting policy. The exchange rate used to translate the amounts previously reported in Russian rubles at December 31, 2023, was 89.6883 Rubles to 1 US Dollar.

 

For comparative purposes, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 includes an adjustment to reflect the change in the presentation currency to US Dollars, which is a change in accounting policy. The transactions were recalculated at exchange rates at the dates of transactions.

 

In January 2024 the Company sold its Russian assets consolidated under QIWI JSC. For comparative purposes the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six-months period ended 30 June 2023 includes an adjustment to reflect separately the financial results for the comparative period that relate to the discontinued operations (Note 4).

 

2.7 Significant judgement: Recognition and derecognition of control, joint control, or significant influence over entities

 

In assessing subsidiaries disposals, the Group analyses all relevant terms and conditions of management of the disposed entities and exercises judgment in deciding whether the Group lost control over them. See Note 4 for details.

4.Acquisitions, disposals and discontinued operations

 

2023

 

Sale of RealWeb Latvia

 

In September 2023, the Group sold Latvia based subsidiaries “RealWeb Latvia” SIA and “RW Consulting” SIA to a third party for insignificant consideration. Since that date their operations are considered as discontinued. These entities represented the part of the Group’s Digital Marketing operating segment. Cash and cash equivalents disposed with these subsidiaries amounted to 1,909.

 

2024

 

Sale of Russian business

 

In June 2023, following a decision by NASDAQ to allow continuance of the Company’s listing subject to divestment of its Russian assets, management announced the restructuring plan to achieve the goal for the Company to have practically no business in Russia. During the second half of 2023 the Group was considering different options for the divestment. By the end of the year 2023 management committed to a plan to sell QIWI JSC together with its subsidiaries to the CEO of the Group. At December 31, 2023, the Russian business was classified as a disposal group held for sale and as discontinued operations, representing a major geographical area of operation.

 

Receivable from the sale of Russian business

 

On January 19, 2024 the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Russian business consolidated under QIWI JSC (hereinafter “the Transaction”) to a company wholly-owned by the CEO of the Group (the “Buyer”). The contract payment terms at the date of the Transaction were the following:

Total receivable from the sale of the Russian business   23,750    267,248    19,352    217,760 

 

100% shares of the Buyer were pledged in favour of QIWI plc to secure the payment of the Transaction price. Upon effecting the Transaction at the end of January 2024, CEO of QIWI plc has immediately resigned his offices at QIWI, as well as any other executive offices in subsidiaries or affiliates of QIWI. Management analyzed the circumstances and terms of the Transaction and concluded that the Group ceased controlling the Russian business as of January 19, 2024.

On February 21, 2024, the Central Bank of Russia revoked QIWI Bank's banking license for non-compliance with certain Russian laws and CBR regulations and appointed the Deposit Insurance Agency as the temporary administrator to oversee the process of the Bank’s liquidation. This event affected the Buyer's ability to settle its obligations under the terms of the Transaction. At the request of the Buyer in May 2024, the Group postponed the payment date of the second instalment of RUB 11,775 mln (129,596 at the exchange rate as of the date of the postponement) by three months, until August 19, 2024. The postponement of the payment date was deemed to constitute a non-substantial modification of the terms of the receivable, therefore, the amortized cost of the receivable was recalculated at the effective interest rate as of the date of postponement (Note 16).

 

Subsequently to the end of the reporting period, in August 2024, the Group approved a postponement of payment by another three months, until November 19, 2024. In November 2024 the Group agreed to postpone the payment of the second and third instalments of RUB 11,775 mln and RUB 2,969 mln until May 31, 2025.

(in thousands of US Dollars, except when otherwise indicated)

 

The ECL was calculated based on the individual characteristics of the Buyer. Particularly, for the maturity date the Company used an assumption that was determined based on the current negotiations with the Buyer and possible outcomes based on these negotiations. Probability of default (PD) was calculated based on Moody’s credit rating Ca-C that the Buyer’s actual financial condition was assumed to correspond to. For the loss-given default (LGD) calculation the Company used the same effective interest rate that was used for the calculation of modification (Note 16).

 

The Company believes that the Buyer will have sufficient funds resulting from liquidation of QIWI Bank to meet its obligation under the Transaction.

 

The completion of settlement under the Transaction can be affected by uncertainties resulting from complex business environment in Russian Federation (see note 18) which includes varying interpretation of current legislation and potential changes in relevant legal framework, as well as sanctions and restrictions against Russian Federation.

 

If the settlement default occurs, selling the pledged shares may involve various scenarios with different levels of complexity and uncertainty regarding the terms of settlement and the value of receivable that could be ultimately recovered.

 

The Group is exposed to a currency risk due to the significant amount of the receivables from the sale of Russian business denominated in Russian Ruble. The strengthening / weakening of the Russian Ruble by 15% will decrease / increase the Group's loss before tax by 28,361.

* In October 2023 the Group issued unsecured bonds at the principal amount of 91.2 million nominated in RUB with a floating nominal interest rate of RUONIA+3.4% (Issue costs amounted to 899, so that the effective interest rate comprised RUONIA+3.6%). The interest rate was fixed until October 31, 2025, after which the Group can change it and the investors will have the right to present the bonds for redemption. The Bonds were due in 2027. The Group was subject to a number of covenants regarding the bonds issued. As of December 31, 2023, the Group was in compliance with all covenants stipulated by the public irrevocable offers.

 

Additionally discontinued business had 44,587 net liabilities owed to the continuing one that were eliminated as intra-group balances as of December 31, 2023 and January 19, 2024, and not included into the amount of net assets above.

 

Write-down of non-current assets

 

Immediately before the classification of Russian subsidiaries as a disposal group, the recoverable amount was estimated for the CGUs included in this group and no impairment loss was identified. Following the classification, an impairment loss of 160,043 for write-down of non-current assets was recognised on December 31, 2023, to reduce the carrying amount of the non-current assets classified as held for sale effectively to zero, in order to measure the disposal group held for sale at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The remaining loss was recognized upon disposal. The impairment loss was applied to the carrying amount of Goodwill 97,269, Intangible assets 44,793 and property and equipment 17,981 within the disposal group. This impairment of non-current assets was recognized in discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss. The fair value of the disposal group was determined using the price of the offer received from the buyer without any adjustments (Level 2). In January 2024 the Group recognized an additional loss on disposal of the Russian business in the amount of 469,702, including 211,524 reclassification from the currency translation reserve.

4.Acquisitions, disposals and discontinued operations (continued)

 

Subsequent to the disposal, the Group continues to purchase processing from some of its former subsidiaries. Although intra-group transactions have been fully eliminated in the interim condensed consolidated financial results, management has elected to attribute the elimination of transactions between continuing and discontinued operations before the disposal in a way that reflects the planned continuance of these transactions subsequent to the disposal, because management believes this is useful to the users of the financial statements. This presentation only covers operating activities. To achieve this presentation the intra-group revenues and costs thereof have been eliminated from the results of the discontinued operations. Because purchases from the discontinued operations were planned to continue after the disposal, intra-group purchases made by the continuing operations are retained in continuing operations. All investing and financing relationships between the Group and these Russian subsidiaries were terminated and are not considered ongoing.

 

The net cash flows incurred by the discontinued operations are as follows:

 

   For the six months ended 
   2023   2024 
Operating   105,456    (19,719)

5.Operating segments

 

The Chief executive officer (CEO) of the Group is considered as the chief operating decision maker of the Group (CODM). In reviewing the operational performance of the Group and allocating resources, the CODM reviews selected items of each segment’s interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

In determining that the CODM was the CEO, the Group considered his responsibilities as well as the following factors:

 

-The CEO determines compensation of other executive officers while the Group’s board of directors approves corporate key performance indicators (KPIs) and total bonus pool for those executive officers. In case of underperformance of corporate KPIs a right to make a final decision on bonus pool distribution is left with the Board of directors (BOD);
-The CEO is actively involved in the operations of the Group and regularly chairs meetings on key projects of the Group; and
-The CEO regularly reviews the financial and operational reports of the Group. These reports primarily include segment net revenue, segment profit before tax and segment net profit for the Group as well as certain operational data.

 

The financial data is presented on a combined basis for all key subsidiaries and associates representing the segment net revenue, segment profit before tax and segment net profit, which are the metrics the Group uses to measure the performance of its operating segments. Segment net revenue is a measure of profitability defined as the segment revenues less segment direct revenue-related costs. The Group does not monitor balances of assets and liabilities by segment as the CODM considers they have no impact on decision-making.

 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the types of products and services the Group offers. The CODM reviews segment net revenue, segment profit before tax and segment net profit within one segment. For the purposes of interim condensed consolidated financial statements the analysis made by CODM considers only the metrics related to continuing operations.

 

As a result of Russian business disposal, the Group has changed the composition of its operating segments. This change led to the change in reportable segments. The major part of reported revenue and profit or loss from continued operations relates to payment services. Therefore, management identified one segment – Payment Services. Starting from January 2024 CODM has been monitoring performance within one segment for making operating decisions. Accordingly, the Group has restated the previously reported segment information for six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

-Payment Services (PS) is the operating segment that generates revenue through operations of the payment processing system offered to the Group’s customers through a diverse range of channels and interfaces.

 

All corporate expenses were allocated to this segment accordingly.

 

Management reporting is different from IFRS, because it does not include certain IFRS adjustments, which are not analyzed by the CODM in assessing the operating performance of the business. The adjustments affect such major areas as share-based payments, the effect of disposal of subsidiaries and fair value adjustments, such as amortization and impairment, as well as non-recurring items that occur from time to time and are evaluated for adjustment as and when they occur. The tax effect of these adjustments is also excluded from management reporting.

The Company is incorporated in Cyprus under the Cyprus Companies Law, but the business activity of the Group and joint ventures is subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions, the most significant of which include:

 

Cyprus

 

The Company is subject to 12.5% corporate income tax applied to its worldwide income. As of December 31, 2023, Cyprus was set to implement a 15% global minimum tax for multinational enterprises (MNEs) – groups with consolidated annual revenues exceeding EUR 750 million in at least two of the four fiscal years preceding the tested fiscal year. The implementation was to be made in a form of transposition into national law the Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 (Pillar 2 Directive). Once duly adopted, it is expected to take effect retroactively from January 1, 2024. However, the transposition has not yet been completed by Cyprus. In any case, as for now the regime is not applicable to the Company and the Group taking into account the fact that the annual revenues do not exceed the threshold.

 

The Company is exempt from the special contribution to the Defense Fund on dividends received from abroad.

 

In 2020 the Company obtained a written confirmation from the Cyprus tax authorities in the form of a tax ruling in which the Cyprus tax authorities accept in writing not to impose any deemed dividend distribution liability since the Company is a public entity and it is impossible to identify the final minor shareholders.

17. Income tax (continued)

 

Republic of Kazakhstan

 

The Company’s subsidiary incorporated in Kazakhstan is subject to corporate income tax at the standard rate of 20% applied to their taxable income.

 

The United Arab Emirates

 

On December 9, Federal Decree-Law No. 47/2022 "On Corporate Tax and Income Tax" was published by the Ministry of Finance of the UAE, which established corporate income tax in the UAE. Corporate income tax is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 60/2023 “Amending Certain Provisions of the Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses”.

 

The new legislation applies from January 1, 2024 to the companies with financial year corresponding to a calendar year.

 

The Corporate Tax law also imposes an obligation to pay Corporate Tax on residents of Free Zones. The law suggests that a Qualifying Free Zone Person can have both Qualifying Income (taxed at the rate of 0% subject to satisfying certain conditions) and non-qualifying Taxable Income (taxed at 9%).

 

The conditions to be considered a Qualifying Free Zone Person include among others maintaining adequate substance, complying with transfer pricing provisions, not electing to be subject to Corporate Tax, having non-qualifying income not exceeding the amount prescribed by the de minimis requirements. All Free Zone entities will be required to register and file a Corporate Tax return, irrespective of whether they are a Qualifying Free Zone Person or not.

 

The Company`s subsidiaries incorporated in UAE Free Zones are subject to corporate income tax at a standard rate of 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000.

18.Commitments, contingencies and operating risks

 

Operating environment

 

In February 2022, because of the military conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, a number of countries imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation. The conflict affects not only the economic activity of two countries but the global economy as well. As a result of sanctions, commodity and food prices have risen in many countries around the world, the established links between supplies of resources have been disrupted, inflation also affects the prices, and analysts also forecast economic implications for the global industry. The Russian legal, tax and regulatory framework continue development and are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes.

 

Sanctions imposed by the United States of America, the European Union and some other countries against Government of the Russian Federation, as well as many large financial institutions, legal entities and individuals in Russia continue to be in effect and have been expanded. In particular, restrictions have been imposed on the export and import of goods, including capping the price of certain types of raw materials, restrictions were introduced on the provision of certain types of services to Russian enterprises, the assets of a number of Russian individuals and legal entities were blocked, a ban on maintaining correspondent accounts has been established, certain large banks have been disconnected from the SWIFT international financial messaging system, and other restrictive measures have been implemented. Also, in the context of the imposed sanctions, a number of large international companies from the United States, the European Union and other countries discontinued, have significantly reduced or suspended their own activities in the Russian Federation, as well as doing business with Russian citizens and legal entities. All these factors may negatively affect the recoverability of Group’s receivables.

 

The Group is exposed to the economic and financial markets of Kazakhstan which display characteristics of an emerging market. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue development, but are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes which together with other legal and fiscal impediments contribute to the challenges faced by entities operating in Kazakhstan. The volatility in the global price of oil and the ongoing military conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine have also increased the level of uncertainty in the business environment.

 

In addition to Kazakhstan, the Group have operations in UAE and other emerging markets. In many respects, the risks the Group faces in operating the payment business in emerging markets are similar to those in Kazakhstan as set out above. As is typical of an emerging market, such countries do not possess a well-developed business, legal and regulatory infrastructure and may experience substantial political, economic and social change.

 

The Group’s business in emerging markets is subject to specific laws, regulations and inspections including with respect to tax, anti-corruption, and foreign exchange controls. Such laws are often rapidly changing and are unpredictable, as these countries continue to develop its regulatory framework. Any new laws that may be introduced may significantly affect the regulatory environment in those countries which, in turn, may impact the Group’s operations there and impose additional regulatory compliance burden on the Group.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact of the Group’s business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business environment may differ from management’s assessment.

 

For more detailed disclosure on operating and regulatory environment and on other key risks please refer to the most recent annual report on Form 20-F and Financial Statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

18.Commitments, contingencies and operating risks (continued)

 

Taxation

 

Tax, currency and customs legislation in countries of the Group’s presence is subject to varying interpretations, and changes, which can occur frequently. The taxation system in Kazakhstan is relatively new and is characterized by frequent changes in legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions, which are often unclear, contradictory and subject to varying interpretation by different tax authorities. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by various levels of authorities, which have the authority to impose severe fines and penalties. A tax year generally remains open for review by the tax authorities for three to five subsequent calendar years; however, under certain circumstances a tax year may remain open longer.

 

These circumstances may create tax risks in Kazakhstan that are more significant than in other countries. Management believes that it has provided adequately for tax liabilities based on its interpretations of applicable tax legislation, official pronouncements and court decisions. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the effect on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.

 

For more detailed disclosure on taxation please refer to the most recent annual report on Form 20-F and Financial Statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

18.Commitments, contingencies and operating risks (continued)

 

Risk assessment

 

The Group’s management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and is in accordance with the current industry practice and that the Group’s currency, customs, tax and other regulatory positions will be sustained. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the maximum effect of additional losses, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their different interpretations, could be significant, amount up to 850 as assessed by the Group as of June 30, 2024 (10,000 as of December 31, 2023).

 

Legal proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to legal actions and complaints. Management does not believe that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such actions or complaints will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the results of future operations of the Group.

 

Following the disclosure of the restrictions imposed by the CBR on the Group in December 2020, QIWI plc and certain of its current and former executive officers have been named as defendants in a putative class action filed in the United States. These lawsuits allege that the defendants made certain false or misleading statements that were supposedly revealed when the CBR audit results and restrictions were disclosed in December 2020, which the plaintiffs perceive as a violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, and seek damages and other relief based upon such allegations. Management believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously, and expects to incur certain costs associated with defending against these actions. At this early stage of the litigations, the ultimate outcomes are uncertain and management cannot reasonably predict the timing or outcomes, or estimate the amount of loss, if any, or their effect, if any, on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Any negative outcome could result in payments of substantial monetary damages and accordingly the Group’s business could be seriously harmed. On November 03, 2023 the case was dismissed without prejudice, however on December 4, 2023 the plaintiffs filed second amended complaint (the SAC). On May 02, 2024 the Company filed motion to dismiss the proposed SAC.

 

After revocation of QIWI Bank’s banking license by CBR, National Bank of Kazakhstan initiated an audit of books and records of QIWI Kazakhstan. The audit was finalized in May and the report was issued by the authorities in June 2024. Total penalties for miscellaneous violations did not exceed 40.

 

On April 2, 2024, the Company received a notice of a lawsuit filed by the temporary administration of QIWI Bank, aiming to cancel the Transaction related to the sale of Russian assets. On May 28, 2024 the court refused to impose restrictions on the property of QIWI JSC as part of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) claim against QIWI JSC, the Company and the Buyer. On July 12, 2024, the temporary administration of QIWI Bank filed a cassation appeal against the decision of the appellate court. On November 6, 2024, the temporary administration of QIWI Bank filed a waiver of the cassation appeal, which was accepted by the court. The lawsuit has been completed.

20.Financial instruments (continued)

 

Long-term loan accounted at fair value through profit or loss comprised EUR-denominated convertible loan to the venture company with the maturity up to three years and nominal interest rate of 0.5%. During the reporting period the change in the loan fair value was immaterial, due to this the Company did not perform a revaluation as of 30 June 2024.

 

Long-term loans accounted at amortized cost generally represent RUB-denominated loans to Russian legal entities and have a maturity up to three years. For the purpose of fair value measurement of these loans the Group uses comparable market interest rates which range between 11 and 28%.

 

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial instruments to be accounted for or disclosed at fair value:

(in thousands of US Dollars, except when otherwise indicated)

 

20.Financial instruments (continued)

 

The Group uses the following IFRS hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

 

-Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;
-Level 3: Techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

Valuation methods and assumptions

 

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are evaluated at the amount the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

 

Long-term fixed-rate loans issued are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, terms of maturity, specific country and industry risk factors and individual creditworthiness of the customer. With regard to the level 3 assessment of fair value of loans issued, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the unobservable inputs would be sensitive for the fair value of these assets.

 

The convertible loan to the venture company is evaluated using a discounted cash flow model, with cash flow projections covering a five-year period. As of June 30, 2024 the most significant unobservable inputs for the model were compound average growth rate (CAGR) of payment volume in forecasted period (20%), discount rate (14.3%) and terminal growth rate (2%). Increase/decrease in CAGR of payment volume by 1% would result in an increase/(decrease) in fair value by 2,206/(2,148). Increase/decrease in the discount rate by 1% would result in a (decrease)/increase in fair value by (3,636)/4,311. Increase/decrease in terminal growth rate by 1% would result in an increase/(decrease) in fair value by 2,733/(2,322).

 

Currency risk

 

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currency in which sales and purchases are denominated and the respective functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company is U.S Dollars, the currency in which the Company receivables are denominated are Russian Ruble and EUR.

 

21.Events after the reporting date

 

On September 6, 2024 the Company announced that its American depositary shares (ADSs) representing Class B ordinary shares in QIWI plc, each with a nominal value of EUR 0.0005 (ISIN: US74735M1080), have been added to the official list of the Astana International Exchange Ltd (AIX). On September 16, 2024 the Company announced that the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has determined to remove from listing American Depositary Shares of QIWI plc.

 

Subsequently to the reporting date, the Company signed addendums to the sale and purchase agreement in relation to Russian business to postpone the payment of second and third instalments till May 31, 2025 (Note 4).
