Boku - Making the complex simple for global merchants
Boku’s strategy to widen its offering within the local payment method (LPM) market accelerated FY23 revenue growth to 30%, with 15% growth from the core direct carrier billing (DCB) business and supplemented by 153% growth from eWallets and real-time payments. EBITDA grew 27% y o y as the company continued to invest in building out its LPM network from a technological and regulatory perspective. With all major merchants using or planning to use Boku’s wider portfolio of payment methods, the comp...

Boku - Upgrading on strong finish to FY23
Boku expects to report FY23 revenue and adjusted EBITDA ahead of our and consensus forecasts, helped by strength from both the core direct carrier billing (DCB) business and rapid growth in adoption of local payment methods (LPM). The strong finish to FY23 highlights positive momentum going into FY24 and we have upgraded our forecasts, with adjusted EBITDA up 7.6% for FY23, 5.3% for FY24 and 4.8% for FY25.

Boku - Upgraded outlook for FY23
Boku reported H123 revenue growth of 26% y-o-y to $38.2m, with a growing and now material contribution from local payment methods (LPMs). Adjusted EBITDA was 28% higher and the margin expanded by 0.7pp, as upside from higher revenues was partially offset by further investment to support LPMs. We have revised up our forecasts to reflect faster growth in total payment volumes (TPV) partially offset by higher investment in Boku’s payments network.

Boku - Strong H1 drives upgrades
Boku saw strong growth in total payment volume (TPV) in H123 translating to revenue growth of at least 24% (31% constant currency) and EBITDA growth of at least 25%. Local payment methods (LPMs) were a key driver of growth, pushing up the take rate to 0.76% and contributing 19% of revenue. The company also announced that CEO Jon Prideaux will be stepping down from his role at the end of the year; his successor will be Stuart Neal, who was previously CFO of Boku, providing continuity and decades ...

Boku - Helping merchants navigate payments complexity
Boku’s FY22 results reflect a return to pre-COVID customer behaviour and company spending, investment in its platform to support local payment methods (LPMs) and the negative effect of the strong dollar on reported results. Growth in LPM users accelerated in the year and is likely to be boosted further as the Amazon relationship develops. With plans to double revenue and grow EBITDA margins by c 18pp in the medium term, Boku looks well positioned for earnings growth over the forecast period.

Boku - Local payment method growth accelerates
Boku expects to report FY22 revenue and EBITDA slightly ahead of our forecasts and closes the year with stronger than expected net cash. Total payment volume (TPV) was 20% higher y-o-y in constant currency and year-end monthly active users (MAUs) grew 28% y-o-y, helped by the growing contribution from local payment methods (LPMs). We revise our forecasts to reflect stronger revenue growth, with more limited upgrades to EBITDA as we expect gross profit upside to be invested in further expanding a...

Boku - Wider payments reach drives underlying growth
Boku reported H122 revenue and adjusted EBITDA in line with its July trading update. During H122, payments made via local payment methods (LPMs) grew significantly y-o-y and, since the end of H1, the company has signed a multi-year contract with Amazon for its LPM services and rolled out eWallets in China for another major merchant. We maintain our forecasts and highlight that underlying growth for the business remains strong, despite currency headwinds.

Boku - Digital wallet contract with Amazon
Boku has signed a three-year contract with Amazon to process Amazon Prime Video subscriptions made via digital wallet and other local payment methods in certain South-East Asian and African countries. As part of the contract, Amazon has been granted warrants over 11.2m Boku shares at 81.2p per share, dependent on Amazon hitting revenue targets over seven years. In our view, this contract marks major progress in the company’s strategy to widen its offering to local payment methods and strengthens...

Boku - Currency moves mask underlying growth
While currency headwinds reduced growth on a reported basis in H122, Boku expects to report constant currency growth of 14% for total payment volume (TPV) and 7% for Payment revenue. Local payment methods (LPMs) are seeing rapid adoption and are making up a growing proportion of volumes (up 11x y-o-y) and monthly active users (MAUs – up 8x y-o-y). On revised forecasts which reflect the stronger dollar, the stock trades at a large discount to peers. We expect this gap to close as LPMs start to ma...
