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.
