Ofgem’s Statement of Objections focuses on contracts in the period prior to October 2018 • Ofgem’s findings in the Statement of Objections are provisional and Ofgem states that no conclusion should be drawn that there has been an infringement at this stage • We are considering Ofgem’s provisional views set out in the Statement of Objections and, based on the range of potential outcomes in such proceedings, we believe there will likely be a future outflow of funds in the next financial year • Our current best estimate for a resolution of this matter is £12.5m and we have accordingly made a provision for this in the current year. This estimated provision is not an admission of liability in relation to Ofgem’s provisional views in the Statement of Objections Results for the year ended 31 March 2021 6 Going into the 2020/21 financial year, management recognised the need to reposition the business in response to the impact of structural changes in our traditional legacy markets and the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to the full year impact from the loss of the British Gas contract (£3.8m), the business faced: • the impact of declining bill payment transactions, • rate reductions to a number of energy client contracts on renewal • the long-term decline of cash usage, with its effect on our ATM business and more broadly across bill payments, a trend accelerated throughout Covid-19 £m Results for the year ended 31 March 2021 7 • Strengthen our relationships and broaden our digital payments solutions for our core energy clients • Broaden our digital payment offer and capabilities into non-energy sectors, including housing and local authorities • Expand our cash through to digital payment capabilities and proposition, through acquisitions and internal investments, including card payments and Direct Debit • Revitalise and enhance our service and retailer proposition through a combination of targeted acquisitions and investment • Establish Collect+ as the pre-eminent technology-enabled e-commerce delivery platform • Optimise our ATM estate and develop new innovative ‘access to cash’ solutions, such as the LINK Counter Service • Broaden our retailer proposition to deliver increased value to our retailer partners, through initiatives such as launching new eMoney partnerships and developing home delivery and FMCG propositions Results for the year ended 31 March 2021 8 Q1 20/21 vs 19/20 Q2 20/21 vs 19/20 Q3 20/21 vs 19/20 Q4 20/21 vs 19/20 Transactions by service % increase/ % increase/ % increase/ % increase/ (decrease) (decrease) (decrease) (decrease) UK bill payment1 (25.0%) (18.7%) (25.3%) (23.7%) UK mobile top-up (20.0%) (19.0%) (16.9%) (16.6%) UK eMoney 12.4% 18.4% 25.8% 41.4% ATM (30.3%) (19.2%) (23.1%) (24.3%) Card payment 80.3% 57.7% 46.2% 33.6% Parcels (13.0%) 7.5% 6.6% 33.8% Sites suspended due to Covid-19 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 UK PayPoint One UK ATMs UK Card payments2 UK Parcels As at 31 March 2020 As at 30 June 2020 As at 30 September 2020 At 31 December 2020 As at 31 March 2021 NB.
