Capital Markets Day in New York: Wirecard increases Vision 2025

Aschheim (Munich)/New York (ots) -

- Vision increase based on strong, accelerated organic growth and
strategic partnerships
- Expected transaction volume of more than EUR 810 billion in 2025
- Revenues of more than EUR 12 billion, EBITDA of more than EUR
3.8 billion in 2025
- "Commerce on the Move" and data-driven value-added services form
the core topics at the Capital Markets Day

Wirecard, the global innovation leader for digital financial
technology, is increasing its Vision 2025. Strong, accelerating
organic growth drivers and powerful partnerships such as SoftBank
have led management to increase the key figures of transaction
volume, revenue and EBITDA targeted for 2025.

The anticipated transaction volume in 2025 is expected to be more
than EUR 810 billion (up from EUR 710 billion). Group revenues in the
same year could reach more than EUR 12 billion (previously expected:
more than EUR 10 billion), EBITDA more than EUR 3.8 billion (compared
to more than EUR 3.3 billion previously). The FCF conversion is
expected to remain unchanged at more than 65 percent.

Wirecard's strategy to achieve these growth-accelerating targets
is based on three pillars:

In addition to ongoing success with smaller and medium-sized
customers and business partners, the increased focus on large
companies will lead to a significant increase in transaction volumes
- while at the same time realizing profitable economies of scale.

The ongoing development of the payment ecosystem and its expansion
to include digital financial services as well as data-driven
value-added services form another important pillar. Thanks to
comprehensive insights into the individual purchasing behavior of
their customers, merchants benefit from tailor-made price and service
offers, cross-sector customer loyalty programs and other value-added
services. This ultimately leads to significantly improved conversion
rates and significant revenue increases, while at the same time
reducing customer acquisition costs. In addition, there are numerous
digital financing options available to merchants. Alongside
personalized and convenient shopping experiences, end consumers also
benefit from valuable additional services such as credit or insurance
- in real time and independent of the sales channel.

The third pillar is Wirecard's global presence, which will also be
greatly expanded in the coming years. From Europe, Asia-Pacific,
Latin America to North America and the Middle East/Africa, in
addition to a broad international range of services, an extensive
network of local technology, service and sales locations is available
to drive forward Wirecard's strong growth.

At the company's Capital Markets Day and Innovation Day, which
will take place today at 10:00 a.m. local time in New York, USA (4:00
p.m. CEST), Wirecard CEO Markus Braun, CFO Alexander von Knoop, CPO
Susanne Steidl and representatives of top management will provide
further insights into the company's development in addition to its
Vision 2025. In particular, innovations and growth drivers around the
topic "Commerce on the Move" will be discussed. Discussions with
strong partners about the future of shopping as well as showcases
will also be part of the day.

On the Investor Relations website ir.wirecard.com you will find
the link to the live stream or webcast. The presentation slides will
be made available for download, analogue to the agenda.
