Multilane products rollout in U.S. marks a major breakthrough in mature market Management announced the first batch of multilane terminal shipment will commence next week with 1,000 units shipment per week to a tier-one merchant. Given a market size of 2mn POS terminal shipment per year with 40% being high-end multilane products in the U.S., we believe the multilane products mark a major breakthrough in the mature market, dominated by Ingenico and Verifone with combined market share of 85% in U.S. We estimate ASP per multilane terminal to range from US$300-500 with GPM at least 30% higher than Group’s average (CMS est. FY15E GPM: 38%). As there are still several pilot programs for tier-one merchants in the pipeline, according to management, we are positive that PAX will continue to gain shares from Verifone amid EMV migration. 2. Robust overseas growth intact in FY16E with U.S. sales growing at >100% PAX believes overseas sales will remain strong in FY16E. Especially in U.S., management targeted to achieve triple-digit sales growth and sales team size will be doubled from 65 to 130 in FY16E. For APAC regions, although China market remains a concern (CMS est. sales growth: +9.6%YoY in FY16E), management are positive on increasing demand from South-East Asia especially Malaysia (govt. targeted to triple POS terminal install base) and Indonesia (PAX has partnered with major bank BRI since 2015). For Middle East, PAX is confident to maintain a leadership position with market share >15% (vs. No. 1 Verifone 16%). 3. Limited impact on RMB/BRL depreciation Regarding concerns on currency depreciation impact given PAX’s exposure in emerging market like Brazil, as all overseas sales are booked in USD while 60% of COGS is in RMB, RMB depreciation is an advantage for overseas business. Although China sales may be affected as the company’s reporting currency is HKD, management believes the combined currency impact will be minimal.

  • January 2016 Innovation Grows Where Mpos Goes
    JANUARY 2016 INNOVATION GROWS WHERE MPOS GOES The mPOS market in America alone is expected to grow at a CAGR of 51% during the forecast period 2016-2020. That’s largely contingent on prolific growth in the number of mobile phones and the payment methods it enables. However, the length and breadth of mPOS’ potential can be reached only if hardware innovation keeps up with software applications. Mobile point of sale is essential for growing micro- merchants, but the technology isn’t always accessible to them. Verifone’s latest platform could be a case in point to take innovation further and make it accessible where it matters. Erik Vlugt, VP of Global Products at Verifone, recently discussed with MPD CEO Karen Webster how Verifone plans to change the space with the recent release of its new e265 mPOS platform. e265 marks “a continued investment on Verifone’s part in mobile POS in general,” Vlugt said, calling it “one more product in our digital line.” “We are committed to the wonderful world of mPOS -- and that’s not going to change; we see huge growth there globally,” Vlugt added. In this particular case, as Vlugt explained, the e265 is based on a proven platform called the e355, which has been very successful with larger retailers in the market, especially in the integrated space. “We are now taking a lot of those same benefits and features to smaller segments as well,” said Vlugt. “The smaller segments typically have a Verifone payment terminal, which has served them well over time, but in some cases these merchants want to add more functionality to overall customer engagement including things they’re doing on tablets and handheld devices.” These sorts of engagement activities may include loyalty, other commerce applications, things with price checking and so on.
