Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Kaspi.kz reported strong 4Q and full-year 2025 growth while outlining a clear dividend and expansion strategy. Full-year revenue rose 19% to KZT3.1 trillion and net income increased 10% to KZT1.2 trillion, with underlying revenue and net income up 21% and 18%.

The board recommended a quarterly dividend of KZT850 per ADS, which management believes is sustainable for the remainder of 2026, subject to shareholder approval. Growth was broad-based: the Payments platform grew revenue 12% and net income 13%, Marketplace underlying revenue and net income rose 30% and 14%, and Fintech revenue and net income increased 20% and 9%.

Hepsiburada in Türkiye showed improving momentum, with 4Q 2025 purchases up 19% year-over-year, GMV up 13% in real terms, and engaged consumers up 29%. Management plans to run Hepsiburada around Adjusted EBITDA breakeven near term and invest about $300 million on acquiring Rabobank A.Ş.

For 2026, Kaspi.kz introduced consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance, expecting around 5% year-over-year growth, including Türkiye. The company flagged higher Kazakh bank taxes, increased reserve requirements and a high-interest-rate environment as headwinds that will cause 2026 bottom-line growth in Kazakhstan to lag revenue, while moderating inflation may later support profitability.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Solid 2025 growth, new dividend, but 2026 profit guidance is cautious.

Kaspi.kz delivered robust 2025 results with revenue up 19% and net income up 10%, while underlying metrics grew faster. All three core platforms — Payments, Marketplace and Fintech — contributed, and the group reached KZT3.1 trillion revenue and KZT1.2 trillion net income excluding Türkiye.

The company is reintroducing cash returns via a recommended quarterly dividend of KZT850 per ADS, which management believes is sustainable for the rest of 2026, subject to shareholder approval. At the same time, it is funding expansion, including roughly $300 million earmarked for acquiring Rabobank A.Ş. and continued investment in Hepsiburada, which is being managed around Adjusted EBITDA breakeven.

Management guided to around 5% year-over-year growth in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in 2026, reflecting headwinds from higher Kazakh bank taxes, increased reserve requirements and high interest rates. These factors are expected to make bottom-line growth in Kazakhstan lag revenue, even as e-commerce in Kazakhstan and Türkiye remains the main growth driver. Actual outcomes will depend on execution in Türkiye and the macro and rate environment disclosed.

Kaspi.kz 4Q & FY 2025 Financial Results

 

 

Almaty, Kazakhstan, 2 March 2026 – Joint Stock Company Kaspi.kz (“Kaspi.kz”, “we”) (Nasdaq:KSPI) today published its unaudited consolidated IFRS financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended 31 December 2025 (“4Q & FY 2025” respectively).

 

Letter from Mikhail Lomtadze:

 

Two topics have dominated my conversations with investors over the last year: our progress in Türkiye and our approach to dividends. I want to address these and the other questions we hear most often, so that you better understand the context behind the decisions we’re taking.

 

Both Türkiye and dividends connect to a single ambition: to build Kaspi.kz into a 100 million user company. We believe that every strategic decision we make - the launch of new products and services, investments in Türkiye, and dividend policy - is anchored to this goal.

 

1.
Can Kaspi.kz invest in Türkiye and pay a dividend?

 

Yes. We have always maintained that we will prioritize high-impact international opportunities where we believe we can create long-term value. Following the acquisition of Hepsiburada, we anticipate that we can now balance targeted growth investments and resume dividend distributions to our shareholders.

 

Subject to shareholder approval, we intend to pay a quarterly dividend of KZT 850 per ADS. Based on the business’s current performance and cash generation, we believe this is sustainable for the remainder of 2026.

 

2.
What progress have you made at Hepsiburada over the last twelve months?

 

We believe that our progress in Türkiye has been substantial. Over the past year, we have tested and validated key elements of our operating model, strengthening our conviction that it can work at scale in Türkiye.

 

We are prioritizing our investments and efforts to increase orders, consumers and engagement through better personalisation, more relevant search, faster delivery, broader payment options, and improved marketing efficiency. Next-day shipment, which now covers around 63% of orders, up from around 47% in 4Q 2024 is a good example of the changes we’re making.

In our view, the clearest measure of progress is the improvement in order growth during 2025:

1

 


 

Q1 2025: -11% YoY
Q2 2025: +7% YoY
Q3 2025: +16% YoY
Q4 2025: +19% YoY

 

Monthly consumers on average increased 15% YoY in 4Q 2025, the fastest rate of increase for some time. Engaged consumers, which we consider to be our most important measure of platform health, grew 29% YoY on average in 4Q 2025.

 

3.
When will Hepsiburada become profitable?

 

In the near-term, we will intentionally manage Hepsiburada to around Adjusted EBITDA breakeven.

 

In the short term, the investments we’re making can support faster top-line growth. Over time, a large and engaged consumer base can drive sustainable profitability.

 

Separately, we expect to invest approximately $300 million upon closing the acquisition of Rabobank A. Ş. This is fully reflected in our cash flow planning. The combination of e-commerce and fintech has the potential to turn healthy e-commerce economics into much stronger bottom-line growth over the coming years.

 

4.
What does success in Türkiye look like in 2026 and beyond?

 

Success means consumer engagement metrics at Hepsiburada continuing to move toward levels we have achieved in Kazakhstan.

 

In Kazakhstan, e-commerce purchases per consumer reached 24.8 in 2025. At Hepsiburada, the same number is around 6.7. Even closing this engagement gap partially would represent a very meaningful opportunity. If we grow Hepsiburada’s consumer base as well, the upside can be magnified.

Of course, we understand that Hepsiburada will not automatically match our metrics in Kazakhstan given different market dynamics, the low penetration of fintech products on Hepsiburada and our super app business model being in its early stages in Türkiye. But given our experience, we have a defined set of levers that we anticipate can systematically narrow the gap over time.

5.
Are tax and other regulatory changes in Kazakhstan now in the rear-view mirror?

 

Not entirely and we want to be clear about the headwinds ahead.

 

From the start of 2026, the corporate tax rate for banks in Kazakhstan increased to 25% from 20% for all areas except business lending. For Kaspi.kz we expect our consolidated tax rate to increase by around 200 bps YoY in 2026.

 

Separately, the National Bank of Kazakhstan raised minimum reserve requirements in August 2025, with a further step-up expected in April 2026. This reduces the interest revenue we can generate.

 

Combined with the high-interest rate environment we expect that bottom-line growth in Kazakhstan in 2026 will lag top-line growth. The higher tax rate and reserve requirements will be fully absorbed into our earnings base by year end.

 

On a more encouraging note, inflation in Kazakhstan has started to moderate. This opens the possibility of interest rate cuts later in the year, which could be a meaningful profit driver for us over several years. Our current 2026 guidance does not assume interest rate cuts.

 

We are actively managing our cost base and capital allocation in response to the current regulatory and macro backdrop and are well positioned to benefit when the interest rate cycle turns.

 

We anticipate that e-Commerce will be the main driver of our future growth in Kazakhstan and Türkiye, supported by our fintech products and rapidly scaling higher-margin services such as advertising.

 

We want to be a 100 million user company present in multiple countries. With our entry into Türkiye, we already serve around 20 million consumers and 200,000 merchants, and Türkiye’s large local manufacturing base gives us a substantial opportunity to enter new markets.

 

We will stay focused on execution to deliver world class services to our consumers and merchants, and we are confident in our path.

 

We believe we have a sensible balance between returning cash today and making the necessary investments to build a much more valuable business in the future.

 

Thank you for your ongoing trust and support.

Kaspi.kz CEO and co-founder

4Q & FY 2025 Highlights

 

For the fourth quarter of 2025, our Board of Directors has recommended a quarterly dividend of KZT850 per ADS. We believe this amount is sustainable at least for the remainder of 2026. All dividend distributions are subject to shareholder approval.

For FY 2025 revenue and net income increased 19% and 10% year-over-year (“YoY”) respectively, in line with our guidance. Underlying revenue and net income (which excludes smartphones GMV from Marketplace and the impacts of certain regulatory and tax changes and the increase in the base rate ) increased 21% and 18% respectively.

 

4Q 2025 revenue up 15% year-over-year and net income up 1% YoY. Underlying revenue and net income increased 18% and 13% respectively.

 

Engagement remains strong with 77 Monthly Transactions per Active Consumer.

 

In Payments, profit growth remained solid and profitability high.

In 4Q 2025 Hepsiburada’s growth accelerated again. Growth in engagement metrics is our no.1 priority and we’re pleased with our progress so far.
o
During 4Q 2025, purchases increased 19% YoY, compared with 16% in 3Q 2025, 7% in 2Q 2025 and an 11% decline in 1Q 2025.

Due to investments, Adjusted EBITDA was around breakeven in 4Q 2025 and positive TRY1.1 billion in FY 2025.

 

To better highlight the performance of our core operations, we are now providing Adjusted EBITDA guidance. This avoids distortions from varying country tax rates, different interest rate environments, regulatory changes and makes it easier to compare our key markets.
o
We expect smartphone demand to normalise in 2026 and Marketplace in Kazakhstan to resume its normal growth trajectory this year.
o
With momentum in Türkiye rapidly gathering pace, we expect e-Commerce in both countries to be Kaspi.kz’s main growth driver in the medium-term.
o
Previously flagged higher tax and minimum reserve requirements will pressure bottom-line growth in Kazakhstan this year.
o
The headwind from high interest rates, can become a tailwind in the future, although this is not assumed in our guidance.
o
Near-term, we intend to deliberately manage Hepsiburada to around Adjusted EBITDA breakeven.
o
For 2026 we expect consolidated Kaspi.kz Adjusted EBITDA growth of around 5% YoY. For the first time our guidance includes Türkiye.

Strategic Highlights

 

e-Commerce

 

We expect e-Commerce in Kazakhstan and Türkiye to be our fastest growing business area.

 

In Kazakhstan, we anticipate accelerated migration of consumers and merchants from m-Commerce to e-Commerce. Our long-established relationships with offline merchants across the main retail categories put us in a strong position to support their transition online.

 

Unlike online-only marketplaces, we can uniquely leverage these relationships and our broader suite of Super App products and services. In the future m-Commerce will be a tool mainly used by merchants selling local services.

 

img18042212_3.jpg

 

During 4Q 2025, Hepsiburada purchases increased 19% year-over-year. Monthly consumers on average increased 15% YoY in 4Q 2025, the fastest rate of increase for some time. Engaged consumers grew 29% YoY on average during the same period.

 

7

 


 

img18042212_4.jpg

 

Our goal is to move Hepsiburada’s consumer metrics closer to the levels we’re achieving in Kazakhstan.

 

img18042212_5.jpg

 

As growth in engaged consumers continues, it is expected to drive GMV per consumer, where the upside in Türkiye compared to Kazakhstan is substantial. We believe there is also significant potential to grow Hepsiburada’s consumer base.

A large and engaged consumer base is fundamental to achieving high and sustainable profitability in the future.

 

Kaspi Alaqan

 

With Kaspi Alaqan, pay-by-palm, consumers can pay without their card, phone and when mobile internet is not available.

 

We started to rollout Alaqan in Almaty in December in 2025. In less than 3 months over 500,000 consumers have registered, which is around a third of Almaty’s adult population. In merchants where Alaqan is available, it already accounts for 9% of Kaspi.kz transactions.

 

The service will be rolled out across the rest of Kazakhstan during 2026 and is the latest example of how we seek to lead through innovation.

Kaspi.kz 4Q & FY 2025 Financial Highlights

 

During 4Q 2025, total revenue increased 15% year-over-year to KZT854 billion. For the same period, underlying revenue increased 18% year-over-year. Including Türkiye, revenue reached KZT1.2 trillion.

 

For FY 2025, total revenue increased 19% year-over-year to KZT3.1 trillion. Underlying revenue increased 21% year-over-year. Including Türkiye revenue reached KZT4.1 trillion ($8.1 billion).

 

During 4Q 2025, our consolidated net income increased 1% year-over-year to KZT319 billion. For the same period, underlying net income increased 13%. Including Türkiye net income was KZT277 billion.

 

For FY 2025, consolidated net income increased 10% year-over-year to KZT1.2 trillion. For the same period, underlying net income increased 18% year-over-year. Including Türkiye, net income was KZT1.1 trillion ($2.1 billion).

 

 

Payments Platform

Revenue and net income up 12% & 13% in FY 2025

 

During 4Q 2025, transaction volumes increased 12% year-over-year. We believe that volume growth reflects the popularity of Kaspi Pay, Bill Payments and B2B Payments. For FY 2025, transaction volumes increased 14% year-over-year.

 

During 4Q 2025, TPV increased 14% year-over-year to KZT12.2 trillion. TPV growth above transactions growth reflects higher average ticket size year-over-year. For FY 2025, TPV increased 19% year-over-year to KZT44.2 trillion.

 

Payments take rate during 4Q 2025 was 1.09% down from 1.16% in 4Q 2024. Consistent with previous periods, take rate decline reflects faster growth from lower take rate Kaspi Pay and B2B payments. For FY 2025, take rate was 1.10% compared with 1.18% in the same period in 2024.

 

10

 


 

img18042212_7.jpg

 

Payments Platform revenue increased 7% year-over-year to reach KZT178 billion during 4Q 2025. For FY 2025, Payment revenue increased 12% year-over-year to KZT659 billion.

 

Payments Platform net income increased 4% year-over-year to KZT114 billion, during 4Q 2025. Lower growth in the final quarter was in part due to costs related to scaling Kaspi Alaqan. For FY 2025, Payments Platform net income increased 13% year-over-year to KZT433 billion.

11

 


 

img18042212_8.jpg

 

 

Marketplace Platform

Underlying revenue and net income up 30% & 14% YoY in FY 2025

 

During 4Q and FY 2025, Marketplace purchases increased 34% and 35% year-over-year. Marketplace demand continued to be led by e-Commerce including e-Grocery.

 

In 4Q 2025, Marketplace GMV increased 3% year-over-year to reach KZT1.9 trillion.

Underlying GMV increased 12% year-over-year. For FY 2025, Marketplace GMV increased 11% year-over-year to reach KZT6.7 trillion and 19% year-over-year on an underlying basis.

 

Value-added services revenue including Kaspi Delivery, Advertising and Classifieds

contributed to Marketplace take rate increasing to 10.9% and 10.5% in 4Q and FY 2025 up from 10.1% and 9.7% in the same periods in 2024.

 

12

 


 

img18042212_9.jpg

 

In 4Q and FY 2025, e-Commerce demand was strong with purchases up 70% and 83% year-over-year.

 

img18042212_10.jpg

 

e-Commerce GMV increased 9% year-over-year to KZT947 billion. Underlying GMV increased 23% year-over-year. For FY 2025, e-Commerce GMV increased 16%

13

 


 

year-over-year to KZT3.2 trillion and 27% year-over-year on an underlying basis. E-Grocery GMV increased 43% and 53% during 4Q 2025 and FY 2025 respectively.

 

In March 2025, the Kazakhstan government introduced new requirements to register imported smartphones. This caused country wide supply disruption. In the second half of 2025, new smartphone models including the iPhone 17 were not received in sufficient numbers. We expect smartphone demand to normalise in 2026, with year-on-year growth comps favourable from March 2026. Across other e-Commerce verticals GMV growth remains strong, and our competitive position is unchanged.

 

e-Commerce’s take rate increased 150 bps and 140 bps year-over-year in 4Q and FY 2025 to 13.1% and 12.7% respectively, due to fast growth in both advertising and delivery revenue. Advertising revenue increased 45% and 64% year-over-year during 4Q 2025 and FY 2025 respectively.

 

During 4Q and FY 2025, m-Commerce purchases were down 2% and 1% respectively, year-over-year.

 

During 4Q 2025 m-Commerce GMV declined 4% year-over-year to KZT837 billion, while

take rate was flat year-over-year at 9.4%. Excluding smartphones, GMV increased 3% year-over-year. For FY 2025, m-Commerce GMV increased 7% year-over-year to KZT2.9 trillion, with a 9.2% take rate up from 9.1% in 2024. Excluding smartphones, GMV increased 11% year-over-year. Modest m-Commerce GMV growth reflects the accelerating migration of consumers and merchants from m-Commerce to e-Commerce.

Kaspi Travel’s GMV increased 6% year-over-year to KZT124 billion during 4Q 2025. Take rate increased by 20 bps year-over-year to 5.2%, due to growth in international Kaspi Tours. For FY 2025, Kaspi Travel’s GMV increased 14% year-over-year to KZT538 billion, with its take rate reaching 5.1%.

 

With Marketplace take rate up year-over-year and e-Grocery growing fast, 4Q and FY 2025 Marketplace revenue grew faster than Marketplace GMV growth and was up 13% and 23% year-over-year respectively. For 4Q and FY 2025, Marketplace revenue reached KZT267 billion and KZT900 billion respectively. Excluding smartphones, revenue increased 21% and 30% respectively, year-over-year during 4Q and FY 2025.

 

During 4Q 2025, Marketplace net income reached KZT107 billion, representing a 7% decline year-over-year. Net income growth below revenue growth reflects delivery costs for small ticket but frequently purchased items and the impact of lower revenue from smartphones. For FY 2025, Marketplace net income reached KZT369 billion, equivalent to a 6% increase year-over-year. Underlying net income increased 1% and 14% respectively in 4Q and FY 2025. Higher delivery fees and a recovery in smartphones GMV should contribute positively to net income growth in 2026.

Fintech Platform

Underlying revenue & net income up 20% & 18% YoY in FY 2025

 

During 4Q 2025, TFV origination increased 4% year-over-year, to reach KZT3.1 trillion. For FY 2025, TFV increased 13% year-over-year, to reach KZT11.7 trillion.

 

Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) loans accounted for 41% of TFV in FY 2025, making them our most important Fintech Platform product. Merchant and Micro Business Finance is our fastest growing lending product, accounting for 18% of TFV during FY 2025.

 

Fintech yields of 6% and 24% during 4Q 2025 and FY 2025 were both flat year-over-year.

 

img18042212_13.jpg

 

Our average net loan portfolio increased by 27% year-over-year, to KZT7.0 trillion in 4Q 2025. Over the same period, average savings increased by 16% year-over-year to KZT7.2 trillion. For FY 2025, average net loans and savings increased by 31% and 18% to KZT6.4 trillion and KZT6.7 trillion respectively. Our loan to deposit ratio increased to 95% in FY 2025 up from 88% in 2024.

 

During FY 2025, our cost of risk remained broadly stable year-over-year at 2.2%. Overall underlying credit trends remain strong and consistent.

 

Our NPL ratio of 6.1% in FY 2025 was higher than 5.4% in 2024 but should remain broadly stable this year. Lower coverage reflects the growing share of lower risk car and merchant loans in our portfolio.

 

Fintech revenue increased by 19% year-over-year to reach KZT420 billion during 4Q 2025. Fintech revenue growth benefitted from healthy levels of origination and stable

yield trends year-over-year. For FY 2025, Fintech revenue increased 20% year-over-year to reach KZT1.5 trillion.

 

In 4Q 2025, Fintech’s net income increased by 4% year-over-year to KZT95 billion, with

healthy revenue growth partially offsetting higher deposit costs. Deposit cost of funding in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 140bps compared to the same period in 2024 and deposit interest expenses increased 30% year-over-year. For FY 2025, Fintech net income increased by 9% year-over-year to KZT355 billion. Underlying Fintech net income increased 18% year-over-year in both 4Q and FY 2025.

Hepsiburada and Türkiye

 

Improving consumer metrics, translated into accelerating top-line growth. GMV increased 13% year-over-year in 4Q 2025 and 7% for FY 2025 to TRY71.5 billion and TRY212.7 billion respectively. GMV unadjusted for inflation increased 49% year-over-year in 4Q 2025 and 45% for FY 2025. Revenue increased 18% and 13% to TRY28 billion and TRY85 billion respectively over the same periods.

We continue to work on securing the necessary regulatory approvals to acquire Rabobank A.Ş.

 

Full-year 2026 guidance

 

In 2026, our consolidated Kaspi.kz guidance includes Türkiye.

 

We expect smartphone demand to normalise this year and Marketplace in Kazakhstan to resume its normal growth trajectory in 2026. The headwind from high interest rates, can also become a tailwind in the future, although this is not assumed in our guidance.

 

Growth momentum in Türkiye is gathering pace and we deliberately intend to manage Hepsiburada to around Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in the near-term.

 

To better highlight the performance of our core operations, we are now providing Adjusted EBITDA guidance. This avoids distortions from varying country tax rates, different interest rate environments, regulatory changes and makes it easier to compare our key markets.

Our key operating metrics may be calculated in a manner different than similar key financial and operating metrics used by other companies.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

To supplement our results presented in accordance with IFRS, we present Adjusted EBITDA for both the Company and Hepsiburada on a standalone basis. The Company provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure for historical periods. However, the Company does not provide guidance on net income, and is unable to provide a reconciliation for its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to net income without unreasonable efforts due to high variability and complexity with respect to estimating certain forward-looking amounts, the probable significance of which cannot be determined. The adjustments from net income for these forward-looking amounts include, for Adjusted EBITDA of the Company, earnings before interest revenue from other operations, interest expenses and fees from other operations, share-based compensation expense, other gains (losses), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses, and for Adjusted EBITDA of Hepsiburada on a standalone basis, taxation on income, financial income, financial expenses, depreciation and amortization, and monetary gain/(loss).
