Commenting on the results, Lesaka Executive Chairman Ali Mazanderani said, “I am delighted that Lesaka delivered on all of its FY2026 guidance metrics, exceeded the top end of our Adjusted EPS guidance range and achieved full-year GAAP profitability for the first time since Lesaka was effectively created in 2022. FY2026 was a milestone year for Lesaka, and we enter FY2027 with real momentum and a platform built for strong, sustainable growth. Looking ahead, I am pleased to share our medium-term ambitions, which includes Adjusted EPS CAGR in excess of 40% over the next three years.”

Outlook: First Quarter 2027 (“Q1 2027”) and Full Fiscal Year 2027 (“FY 2027”) guidance

While we report our financial results in USD, we measure our operating performance in ZAR, and as such we provide our guidance accordingly.

For FY2027, the year ending June 30, 2027, we expect:

  • Net Revenue between ZAR 7.0 billion and ZAR 7.7 billion
  • Group Adjusted EBITDA between ZAR 1.45 billion and ZAR 1.60 billion
  • Adjusted earnings per share between ZAR 7.50 and ZAR 8.50 For Q1 FY2027, the quarter ending September 30, 2026, we expect:
  • Net Revenue between ZAR 1.58 billion and ZAR 1.66 billion
  • Group Adjusted EBITDA between ZAR 200 million and ZAR 240 million
  • Adjusted earnings per share between ZAR 0.40 and ZAR 0.60 Q1 FY2027 guidance reflects both seasonality and expected once-off restructuring costs in the merchant business. FY2027 guidance includes the impact of the pending Bank Zero acquisition (subject to regulatory approval by the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank and other customary closing conditions) and excludes any unannounced mergers and acquisitions that we may conclude.

We have provided outlook regarding Net Revenue, Group Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude certain revenue and charges. We have not reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures because guidance for the various reconciling items is not provided. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of the control of Lesaka and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

Immaterial revision of prior period information

While preparing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2026, we determined that certain intercompany transactions processed in previous periods were incorrectly recorded, and which resulted in the incorrect amount of deferred income taxes recorded in our consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q since June 30, 2025, and these filings were incorrect.

We also determined that the presentation of the number of shares and amounts used for common stock and treasury shares and the amount of additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of changes in equity and related notes to the consolidated financial statements included in previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q since June 30, 2006, were incorrect. In these previous filings, shares of our common stock repurchased by us were incorrectly presented as treasury shares. Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, shares acquired directly by the issuing corporation are restored by operation of Florida law to the status of authorized but unissued shares. However, shares repurchased by a company are presented as treasury shares if (i) there is a provision in a corporation’s articles of incorporation designating the repurchase of a corporation’s shares as treasury shares, or (ii) in the case of a corporation whose shares are registered on a national securities exchange, the repurchased shares that have been designated as treasury shares in the corporation’s bylaws or in resolutions of its board of directors. Shares repurchased by us were not designated as treasury shares under (i) or (ii) as described in the preceding sentence.

We assessed the materiality of these errors and changes in presentation on prior period consolidated financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99“Materiality” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements”. Based on this assessment, we concluded that previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated based upon overall considerations of both quantitative and qualitative factors.

For additional information refer to Note 1 to our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2026, as filed with the SEC.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

U.S. securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP measures, we disclose the reason for using these non-GAAP measures and provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The presentation of Group Adjusted EBITDA, Net Revenue, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, and headline (loss) earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to Attachment A for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Measures

Group Adjusted EBITDA

Group Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for non-operational transactions (including loss on impairment/disposal of equity-accounted investments), impairment loss, earnings (loss) from equity-accounted investments, stock-based compensation charges and once-off items. Once-off items represent non-recurring expense items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.

Net Revenue

Net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure. Revenue is the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to net revenue. We generate revenue from the provision of transaction-processing services through our various platforms and service offerings. We use these platforms to (a) sell prepaid airtime vouchers (“Pinned Airtime”) which is held as inventory, and (b) distribute pre-paid solutions including prepaid airtime vouchers (which we do not hold as inventory) (“Pinless Airtime”), prepaid electricity, gaming vouchers, and other products, to users of our platforms. We act as a principal when we sell Pinned Airtime held as inventory and record revenue and cost of sales on a gross basis when sold. We act as an agent in a transaction when we provide pre-paid solutions through our various platforms and services offerings because we do not control the good or service to be provided and we recognize revenue based on the amount that we are contractually entitled to receive for performing the distribution service on behalf of our customers using our platform. Our revenue under GAAP can fluctuate materially due to changes in the revenue mix between these revenue categories. Net Revenue is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as revenue presented under GAAP less (i) the cost of Pinned Airtime sold by us, and (ii) commissions paid to third parties selling all other agency-based pre-paid solutions (including Pinless Airtime, electricity and other products) provided through our distribution channels. We believe that the use of Net Revenue is meaningful to users of financial information because it seeks to eliminate the impact of the change in the revenue mix from the revenue categories over the periods presented.

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share is GAAP net income (loss) and income (loss) per share adjusted for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (net of deferred taxes), stock-based compensation charges, and unusual non-recurring items, including costs related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2026 also includes adjustments related to the loss on impairment of equity-accounted investments, impairment loss, ATM exit expenses and impairments, reversal of allowance for doubtful loans receivable, Lesaka rebrand refresh expenses (net of tax), income recognized related to closure of legacy businesses (net of tax), changes in the fair value of equity securities (net of deferred tax), loss on disposal of equity securities, other income and intangible asset amortization, net related to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2025 also includes adjustments related to changes in the fair value of equity securities (net of deferred tax), impairment loss related to goodwill and intangible assets, an adjustment for deferred tax adjustments to the valuation allowance for a subsidiary which released its valuation allowance related to net operating losses in full during Q4 2025, loss on disposal of equity-accounted investments and intangible asset amortization, net related to non-controlling interests.

Management believes that the Group Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings and Adjusted earnings per share metrics enhance its own evaluation, as well as an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. Attachment A presents the reconciliation between GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Lesaka and these non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation between the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest under GAAP and the denominator used for Adjusted earnings per share.

Headline earnings (loss) per share (“HEPS”)

The inclusion of HEPS in this press release is a requirement of our listing on the JSE. HEPS basic and diluted is calculated using net income (loss) which has been determined based on GAAP. Accordingly, this may differ to the headline (loss) earnings per share calculation of other companies listed on the JSE as these companies may report their financial results under a different financial reporting framework, including, but not limited to, International Financial Reporting Standards.

HEPS basic and diluted is calculated as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for the loss on sale of equity-accounted investments, impairment losses related to our equity-accounted investments, impairment losses and (profit) loss on sale of property, plant and equipment. Attachment C presents the reconciliation between our net income (loss) used to calculate earnings (loss) per share basic and diluted and HEPS basic and diluted and the calculation of the denominator for headline diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(A)   Revised FY2025 amounts to correct the errors discussed in Note 1 of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2026. (1)   Impairments excludes an amount of $0.7 million which is included in the caption exit of ATM business in the table below.

Three months endedYear ended June 30,Mar 31,June 30, 20262025202620262025 Once-off items comprises: Lesaka brand refresh$ 2,017-$ 984$ 3,001$ - Exit of ATM business--1,5991,599- Transaction costs264$ 1734661,1031,794 Transaction costs related to Adumo, Utilities and Bank Zero acquisitions10412,98514438916,159 Income recognized related to closure of legacy businesses--(579)(579)- Indirect taxes provision release-69(61)(61)(127) Total once-off items$ 2,385$ 13,227$ 2,553$ 5,452$ 17,826

Once-off items are non-recurring in nature, however, certain items may be reported in multiple quarters. For instance, transaction costs include costs incurred related to acquisitions and transactions consummated or ultimately not pursued.

Rebrand relates to costs incurred related to Lesaka’s new brand launched in November 2025, we expect that it will take the remainder of the 2026 calendar year to roll out the refreshed brand throughout the organization. These are non-recurring costs incurred as a necessary step in a set of strategic initiatives designed to create a “One Lesaka” identity for our customers and our employees.

Exit of ATM business includes expenses incurred to exit our ATM business and the impairment of ATMs recorded in property, plant and equipment.

Income recognized related to closure of legacy businesses represents (i) gains recognized related to the release of the foreign currency translation reserve on deconsolidation of a subsidiary and (ii) costs incurred related to subsidiaries which we are in the process of deregistering/ liquidating and therefore we consider these costs non-operational and ad hoc in nature.

Indirect tax provision release relates to the reversal of a non-recurring indirect tax provision created in fiscal 2023 which was resolved in fiscal 2025 following settlement of the matter with the tax authority.

Calculation of the denominator for headline diluted earnings (loss) per share

Three months ended June 30,Year ended June 30, 2026202520262025 ('000)('000) Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest under GAAP82,07681,18682,08876,466 Effect of dilutive securities under GAAP188-161- Denominator for headline diluted earnings (loss) per share82,26481,18682,24976,466

Weighted average number of shares used to calculate headline diluted earnings (loss) per share represents the denominator for basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and unvested restricted shares expected to vest plus the effect of dilutive securities under GAAP. We use this number of fully diluted shares outstanding to calculate headline diluted earnings (loss) per share because we do not use the two-class method to calculate headline diluted earnings (loss) per share.
