2 · Q&A Highlights

Q 1 (Pricing & Transaction Metrics): How should investors interpret pricing power and transaction rate metrics given the evolving product mix?
A (Management):
• Transaction rate is no longer a meaningful metric due to product/client mix changes; pricing remains premium, justified by AI-led enhancements.
• All enterprise clients are on minimum guarantee plans with usage-based fees beyond bundled transactions.

Q 2 (Client Additions & Churn): Despite high gross client additions, why is net enterprise client growth modest?
A (Management):
• High churn is concentrated in long-tail/low-volume clients or those exiting e-commerce/dropship; 80%+ of churn due to business shutdowns or model shifts.
• Enterprise client base continues to grow; net additions reflect industry dynamics.

Q 3 (Product Adoption & Cross-sell): What is the adoption rate of new modules and Shipway cross-sell?
A (Management):
• 35–40% of enterprise clients use B2B/quick commerce modules; UniReco adoption at 4–5% within 6 months of launch.
• Shipway cross-sell to Uniware base >10%; Shipway also targets broader market beyond Uniware clients.

Q 4 (International Expansion): How is the international business performing?
A (Management):
• International business growing faster than domestic, remains profitable; recent partnership with Naqel Express to deepen KSA presence.

Q 5 (Dropship vs. FUR Model & Category Mix): What is the outlook for dropship vs. FUR, and is there category concentration?
A (Management):
• Dropship model expected to rise from ~50% to ~65% of e-commerce market in coming years.
• Revenue well-diversified across 45+ categories; no significant category concentration.

Q 6 (Profitability & Operating Leverage): Is there further scope for margin expansion in Uniware?
A (Management):
• Uniware adjusted EBITDA margin >40%; further improvement possible due to operating leverage as revenues scale.

Q 7 (AI & Data Monetization): Will AI investments and data analytics open new revenue streams?
A (Management):
• Yes, AI-enabled products expected to drive new monetization opportunities; data monetization under evaluation within regulatory norms.

Q 8 (Disclosure Requests): Will management disclose product-level revenues or transaction metrics?
A (Management):
• NRR (Net Revenue Retention) and new client additions disclosed; product-level revenue disclosure may be considered as new products scale.
