The ongoing consolidation in the
Indian ATM market is anticipated to

WHITE LABEL FY26 FORECAST FINANCIAL IMPACT
The A$75.7 million1 Acquisition is to be funded from Findi’s existing balance sheet resources with A$19.7 million net2 initial
cash settlement consideration to be paid at completion and a further A$4.2 million1 to be paid 12 months post completion,
bringing total cash consideration to A$23.9 million...

Capex
Immediate scale: In addition to the 4,600 Indicash ATM network, the WLA license will
enable Findi to redeploy underutilized Brown Label ATMs available with TSI.
Self funding model: 6,400 of the 6,900 ATMs available for deployment are expected to
be progressively deployed during FY26. Under a franchisee model (see next slide) these
6,400 sites are expected to generate ~A$58.3m in franchise fees and require a
~A$10.8m capital investment.
Industry has been lobbying the RBI and the NPCI to increase
interchange fees.
If the RBI / NPCI increase the FT interchange fee by 2 Rs and the NFT
interchange fee by 1 Rs the WLA FY26 forecast Revenue (A$54.5m),
forecast EBITDA (A$15.1m), and forecast NPBT (A$10.1m) will all
increase by approximately +A$6.9m ie the increase will drop directly to
the bottom line.
Any interchange fee indexation may be more or less than the above
example. The above example is before any impact on the BLA
business.
1.) Subject to interchange fee rate change and settlement adjustments. 2.) Net of cash on TCPSL balance sheet that transfers with the Acquisition. 3.) Transaction Solutions International (India) Pvt Ltd, Findi’s 80.60% owned subsidiary.

NEW FRANCHISE & FUNDING MODELS
Findi’s new white-label ATM franchise model delivers a high-margin, low-capex, scalable approach. This model provides
capital light opportunity for partners to enter regional markets quickly, leveraging Findi’s infrastructure for higher ROI than
traditional BLA’s…
NEW FRANCHISE MODEL
FUNDING MODEL
• Capital light, high-margin model generates higher ROI than traditional brown-label
ATMs as there is limited Company capital locked up in franchisee sites.
• Franchisee deposit: Franchisee invests ₹500,000 (A$9,000)
in Findi for a share of the WLA Interchange Fee.
• Fixed rental and electricity costs convert to variable transaction-based costs under
the franchise agreements. This conversion from fixed to variable lowers the
contribution margin threshold and reduces working capital lock up.
• Capex contribution: Phase 1 rollout of ATM inventory (to Mar26) is anticipated to generate $58.3m in franchisee fees and
require A$10.8m capital expenditure.
• Variable cash logistics costs are also managed by the franchisee further enhancing
the working capital equation.
• The franchise structure is infinitely scalable as capex requirements are funded by
the franchisee.
FRANCHISE MODEL SUMMARY
• No rental cost
STRATEGIC GROWTH & MARKET EXPANSION
• Strategic partner opportunities
o Offers low-investment entry points for partners through franchising
o Quick market entry leveraging Findi’s established infrastructure
• No power cost
• No cash logistics cost
• 500,000-rupee franchise fee
• Interchange fee sharing
• Regional Market Expansion
o Enables partners to penetrate regional markets with minimal upfront investment

1H FY25 OPERATING RESULTS
Findi is pleased to report its half year ended 30 September 2024 (1H FY25) operating results, which saw the Company achieve 1H
FY25 Revenue of $30.7M and EBITDA of $12.9M. Findi remains on track to meet its FY25 revenue and EBITDA guidance range as
our FY25 budget is heavily weighted to 2H FY25, driven by the SBI contract uplift and WLA revenue commencement.

Forecast
Findi reported revenue of $30.7M and EBITDA of $12.9M in 1H FY25. EBITDA was
$0.6M ahead of internal budgets. Factors influencing the result include:
• transactions per day softened temporarily during the half due to the Indian general
elections that occur once every five years (19 April 2024 to 1 June 2024). Transaction
volumes have now returned to trend.
• SBI started surrendering on-site ATMs in the first half ahead of issuing the purchase
order for the new off-site contract. The purchase orders have now been received.

Forecast
The final requirements for Findi’s WLA licence application were lodged in August 2024 with
an expectation the licence would be approved by the RBI in early 2H FY25. This application
is now on hold as Findi will secure a WLA licence upon completion of the TCPSL
acquisition. As a result, estimated WLA roll-out revenue has been deferred until the
completion of the TCPSL acquisition, which is expected to complete by 31 December 2024.
Overall, Findi remains on track to meet its FY25 revenue and EBITDA guidance range on
the basis that the TCPSL acquisition is completed in line with management expectations of
early CY2025.
