HANK PAYMENTS REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS WITH REVENUE GROWTH OF 24%, YEAR OVER YEAR RECORD GROSS MARGINS APPROACHING 90% AND CONTINUED STRONG ARR AND LUM

May 30, 2022

Toronto, Ontario, May 30, 2022 – Hank Payments Corp. (“Hank” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HANK), a North American leader in consumer FinTech Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) announced today record quarter-over-quarter organic revenue growth, record gross margins, continued strong ARR and LUM (defined below) and, in addition to the B2C application of personal financial wellness through automating payments management resulting in improved household cash flow and debt management and overall financial hygiene, acceleration of its B2B go-to-market strategy to become the industry-leading Enterprise SaaS payments platform.

 

Headquartered in Canada with operations in the United States, Hank is on a mission to transform outmoded personal financial wellness and consumer financial technology through offering a best-in-class payments platform and payment management capabilities. Hank’s modern, elegant and proprietary cloud-based solution is revolutionizing the way both consumers and lenders alike manage payments with speed, automation, ease-of-use and best-in-class service as well as B2B SaaS Enterprise solutions that allow Hank to power bank, lender, originator, debt settlement companies and gig-worker platforms.


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS – CONTINUED STRONG FINANCIAL FUNDAMENTALS

 

  • Revenue for the third quarter ended March 31, 2022, grew 24% year over year

to $1,378,598. (Nine month $3,863,691, 21%)

  • Gross margins grew to an unprecedented 89.2% in keeping with our historical trajectory.
  • Revenue quarter over quarter grew 6% as the Company benefits from the recovery in the auto industry.
  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and Liabilities under Management (LUM) continue to remain strong.


OPERATING AND STRATEGIC MATTERS – EVOLUTION TO THE ENTERPRISE AND FEALTY TO SHAREHOLDER VALUE


The Company’s historical B2C sales channel, being the SME auto dealer channel continues to perform well and has resulted in predictable consumer growth, consumer loan payment performance and related analytics, generating for the Company stable and predictable revenue growth and providing the resources and expertise necessary to win larger contracts in that channel and allowing the Company to focus on the additional goal of advancing its B2B SaaS Enterprise customer opportunities. 


The Company is pleased with the exceptional level of interest and demand it has received in the Enterprise SaaS space. As a result, the Company is as a natural progression in its evolution pivoting its head count, other resource and expense base focus from B2C retail customer digital sales strategies in favor of negotiating potentially significant revenue generating (and expense efficient) B2B Enterprise SaaS licensing contracts that allow Hank to power bank, lender, originator, debt settlement companies and gig-worker platforms.


On the expense side of the ledger, operating expenses in the quarter grew in part due to investments in digital marketing and related overhead, public company expenses, technology platform advancements to support Enterprise SaaS proposals as well as costs associated with evaluating potential strategic transactions.


The Company has in a prudent manner addressed this by identifying and acting on several cost reduction measures post-quarter end, namely the  elimination of various roles not directly contributing to the B2B  Enterprise SaaS strategy, which will result in significant ongoing cost savings as Hank now focusses on the execution of highly accretive SaaS Enterprise licensing deals and strategic partnerships that will when finalized enable the penetration of mass markets, with markedly lower customer acquisition costs and lower relative customer service costs as scale is achieved. 


On the M&A front, the Company has conducted a top-to-bottom analysis of its in-process acquisitions funnel with a laser focus on the amount of accretion of Hank shareholder value resulting from said acquisitions in relation to the amount of dilution that Hank shareholders will incur from said acquisitions and has determined that it will not be proceeding with the two transactions identified, including the previously announced mortgage servicing transaction. On balance, the organic growth the Company is currently enjoying and anticipated to enjoy from its current opportunities funnel will bring more users to the Hank platform than proceeding with the two proposed acquisitions, without the Company incurring the execution and integration risks and costs associated with said acquisitions. The Company is open to evaluating accretive transactions, however, strategically the Company has determined that expenditure of its resources is best suited to support the near-term demand from Enterprise SaaS accounts.

 

GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS


The Company has granted a total of 150,000 stock options of Hank under its Stock Option Plan, with an exercise price of $0.15 and an expiry date of May 30, 2024. The options are subject to the standard provisions of the Hank’s Stock Option Plan. Jeff Guthrie President & COO will be leaving the Company for personal reasons to attend to a family member illness effective May 31, 2022. The Company its Board of Directors wishes him and his family member best wishes during this challenging personal period. A comprehensive discussion of Hank’s financial position and results of operations is provided in the financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2022, filed on SEDAR.


Commenting on the quarter and year to date results, Michael Hilmer, Chairperson and CEO comments: “I am very pleased with the work the team has done to grow the SME channels business while evaluating transactions and related planning for our Enterprise SaaS funnel. I personally want to thank Jeff for his dedication to Hank and offer my heartfelt good wishes for a speedy resolution of his family health situation. I would also like to thank our other existing and departing team members for their exceptional hard work as we qualified opportunities and set Hank on a strong and disciplined expense and growth path. I am most excited about the magnitude and economics of the Enterprise SaaS funnel which continued to build in many strategic verticals, as well as key partnerships we look forward to announcing through summer in conjunction with lower operating costs and expected increases in gross dollar margin.”

Toronto, Ontario, November 4, 2024 - Hank Payments Corp. (“ Hank ” or the “ Company ”) (TSXV: HANK), an emerging North American leader in the Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) market with a platform that modernizes budgets and payments for enterprises and consumers wishes to respond to the press release that was issued by Melrose Ventures (the “Melrose Group”) on November 4, 2024. The Company believes that the take-over offer is without merit and the claims made by the Melrose Group in the press release are baseless and defamatory. The Melrose Group are not the business founders of Hank. Hank does not owe any debts to the Melrose Group, as is evidenced in the Company’s financial statements. There have been no insider reports, early warning reports or press releases filed regarding the Melrose Group’s claim of an ownership position exceeding 10% of the Company. These are regulatory requirements, and their statement of a greater than 10% ownership of Hank is in violation of the regulations given no filings have been completed. The Melrose Group have been informed of these requirements by the Company in the past and they have not provided any proof of ownership of shares of Hank. The Group states that their intention is to purchase a minimum of 8.5 mm shares of the Company to “bring our stake above 51%” does not make any sense based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company being 132,720,376 as of November 1, 2024. On Saturday, November 2, 2024, the Melrose Group sent an email to the Company of its intention to submit a takeover bid and then on November 3rd they sent another email threatening to issue a news release. There was no formal take-over offer provided to the Company on November 2nd. The Melrose Group attempted to extract non-public information regarding the Company and its ongoing transaction announced in September 2024. To be clear, no formal takeover bid has been provided by Melrose Group and they have not adhered to any of the rules and regulations required in order to make a proper takeover bid to Hank’s shareholders. The Company will only respond to a bona fide takeover bid that is in accordance with the rules and regulations that govern such a transaction. This is not that and the Company will not respond further to baseless press releases provided by the Melrose Group.  The Company is continuing with the acquisition announced in August, has grown revenues meaningfully and has early interest from customers in using the technology being acquired and the Company believes that in time the transaction will create meaningful value.

Toronto, Ontario, May 31, 2024 - Hank Payments Corp. (“ Hank ” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HANK), an emerging North American leader in the Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) market with a platform that modernizes budgets and payments for enterprises and consumers is pleased to provide its third quarter financial results for the period ending March 31, 2024. All figures are in CAD. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR FISCAL Q3, 2024 Revenue for the quarter of $1.9 mm, an increase of 31% over the March 2023 quarter; Revenue for the nine-month period ending March 31, 2024, grew 20% year over year to $5.4 mm; Gross margins remain strong at 91%; Short term expansion of adjusted loss from operations to accommodate new product and business development. This is expected to materially reduce in the following quarters as the Company benefits from growth in Auto and related margin, and lower operating costs. Consistent with previous quarter, Hank continued to experience strong revenues for the quarter ending March 31, 2024. The recent growth in revenue is primarily due to the Company beginning to recognize revenue from its Canadian licensing agreement starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The licensing agreement has an initial term of three years with opportunity to both increase the revenue over time as well as renew and lengthen the term of the agreement. This agreement is expected to deliver minimum revenues of approximately $500,000 per quarter through first quarter of fiscal 2028. Overall operating expenses increased by 7% this quarter in comparison to the previous quarter and increased by 26% in comparison to the same quarter the previous year primarily due to the investment in sales and marketing related to the Hank EDU platform and preparation and design work for the Equity Builder Product. With additional schools joining the Hank EDU platform, increasing revenues are expected to offset the increase in costs in the coming quarters and with the recently announced Hank Equity Builder partnership, the Company expects to earn back its investment in product development as those two channels scale. The Company continues to prudently monitor expenses while supporting its revenue growth in the auto and EDU channels and now the Equity Builder Product. YEAR TO DATE BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS AND UPDATES In early March, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with a NASDAQ listed fintech bank to offer enhanced consumer lending and savings program and payments services (link to press release: https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/hank-payments-and-finwise-bank-enter-into-strategic-partnership-to-offer-enhanced ); Migration progress with FinWise Bank continues and expected to be completed in the third quarter which will help diversify Hank’s deposit composition and over time reduce the cost of funds through relationship banking and add new revenue line items; Auto channel customer growth of 32% year over year as of May 1 st and 26 new auto dealers have signed up with Hank so far in 2024; Over 238 active auto dealers in the US are now using the Hank platform to make warranty and insurance products more affordable, and to improve the build-up of vehicle equity for their customers; Total auto loan balance reductions, facilitated by Hank Auto on behalf of consumers are up 11.5% year over year to over $77,000,000; College agreements in the states of Texas, Oklahoma and South Carolina for the Hank EDU payments platform are now processing on a monthly basis; Hank EDU has disbursed over $900,000 USD to over 1100 college students since launching its EDU payment platform for the education market in late 2023; Several colleges are completing their integration phase and launching in the coming months; In May, the Company signed a strategic 5 year licensing agreement for the Hank Equity Builder product with HELO. HELO has the conditional exclusive right to resell Equity Builder and the Helo customizations in the US during the term provided that they deliver a minimum annual net subscriber growth of at least 30,000 new paying users annually (link to press release: https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/211110 ). Michael Hilmer, CEO and Chairperson commented “We continued to diversify our revenue streams with innovative products that are quickly adopted in their target markets with new deals while our Auto business thrives. He added “The Company is prioritizing positive cash flow and EBITDA from operations and is focused on growth of high margin revenue while managing a relatively low operating cost model, relative to the growth opportunities available. We are nearing the period where our margin expansion drives full coverage of operating costs and all new business, as and when launched, will become accretive to the bottom line leading to near-term positive operating income as planned.” A comprehensive discussion of Hank’s financial position and results of operations is provided in the financial statements and MD&A for the nine-month period ending March 31, 2024, filed on SEDAR.
