Society Pass Inc (Nasdaq: SOPA) Subsidiary, NextGen Retail Inc, to Acquire Indonesia’s PT Inetindo Infocom to Create an Online and Offline Electronics and Gaming Retailer in the World’s 4th Most Populous Economy; Acquisition Onboards Approximately US$30 million to Society Pass Revenue Base

NextGen Retail Inc (formerly known as Leflair Inc) ventures out of Vietnam and enters the Indonesian market for the first time; creates online and offline retailer in SEA

PT Inetindo Infocom acquisition onboards approximately US$30 million of annual revenues to Society Pass Inc. as well as substantial customer base for Society Pass’s Loyalty App

Singapore, July 7, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – NextGen Retail Inc (“NextGen Retail”), the online retail arm of Society Pass Incorporated (“SoPa”) (Nasdaq: SOPA), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next generation, data-driven, loyalty, fintech and e-commerce ecosystem, today announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 95% of PT Inetindo Info (“Inetindo”), a wholly subsidiary of Story-I Limited (“Story-I”) (ASX: SRY). Inetindo is a leading Indonesia-based Apple Premium Reseller and Authorised Education Partner as well as an electronic gaming retailer for several different gaming companies.

Click Here (on Securities and Exchange Commission website) to view Form 8-K filing.

Subject to Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) and Story-I shareholder approvals, anticipated by September 2023, NextGen Retail, formerly known as Leflair Inc, will complete its first acquisition outside of Vietnam in the large and fast growing Indonesian market. Through cross-selling synergies, the Inetindo acquisition will accelerate the growth of SoPa’s other Indonesian businesses, including NusaTrip Inc and Thoughtful Media Inc.

NextGen Retail acquires Inetindo with its physical and intangible assets in an all-cash transaction valued at AUD 2.78 million equal to approximately US$1.85 million based on current exchange rates. Operating in Indonesia since 2010, Inetindo employs approximately 300 employees and operates 26 “Story-I” branded Apple stores in 9 cities across Indonesia. As an Apple Authorised Education Partner and Apple Authorised Service Provider, respectively, Inetindo sells Apple devices and solutions to leading international schools and tertiary institutions and repairs Apple products at its service centres.

With the easing of COVID restrictions in March 2022, Indonesia’s fast growing middle class and soaring digital adoption have fueled a rebound in online and offline retail traffic back to pre-pandemic levels. Inetindo’s financial performance has responded accordingly. Unaudited 1H FY23 (July to December 2022) revenues totaled AUD 20.9 million (US$13.9 million) compared to 1H FY22 revenues of AUD16.3 million, representing an increase of 28% year-on-year. Similarly, unaudited 1H FY23 gross profit of AUD 2.9 millon (US$1.9 million) grew 16% from 1H FY22 gross profit of AUD 2.5 million (US$1.6 million). As of 31 December 2022, Story-I’s assets totaled AUD 25.44 million (US$16.7 million).

Overall FY 2022 (July 2021 to June 2022) revenues and gross profit totaled AUD 42.4 million and AUD 6.0 million, representing increases of 1.2% and 0.7% over the prior corresponding period, respectively.

Michael Chan, Founder and Executive Director of Story-I, comments, “Society Pass’s acquisition of Inetindo and the Story-I brand creates a win-win-win transaction for all parties involved. First, our shareholders win as the acquisition consideration represents a 15% premium to Story-I’s market capitalisation over the past 45 trading days and allows Story-I to continue under a new name. Second, Inetindo’s partners and employees win as Society Pass is well capitalised to quickly expand Inetindo’s retailing and maintenance businesses throughout Indonesia. I wish Society Pass and NextGen Retail the best of luck as they take over a strong brand in Indonesia. Although we exit the Indonesia electronics retailing business, we are excited about both Story-I’s and Inetindo’s future prospects.”

The Indonesian economy is the largest in SEA and the 16th largest in the world with a 2023 nominal gross domestic product of US$1.39 trillon. OECD forecasts Indonesia’s real GDP growth to be 4.7% in 2023 and 5.1% in 2024. EcommerceDB estimates the Indonesian Electronics & Media eCommerce market to reach US$13.8 billion by 2023 and to increase to US$18.0 billion by 2027, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 6.9%.

Loic Gautier, CEO of NextGen Retail Inc, explains the acquisition’s rationale, “The Story-I acquisition is the natural evolution of our Leflair Vietnam business. As we venture out of Vietnam and into the rest of SEA, we will transform how customers access the world’s most desirable brands through our integrated omni-channel, online-to-offline retail platform. NextGen Retail’s mission is the following:

provide brands with a one-stop distribution solution to access consumers across SEA;

integrate all sales channels for maximum brand awareness and sales performance;

provide Asian consumers with access to the world’s best brands;

serve our customers anywhere and provide them with personalized shopping experience;

deliver best-in-class customer experience.”

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and completion of ASX regulatory review and Story-I’s shareholder approvals. The deal is anticipated to close by September 2023 and is expected to be accretive to SoPa’s non-GAAP earnings per share upon close.

Founded in 2018 as a data-driven loyalty, fintech and e-commerce ecosystem in the fast-growing markets of Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, which account for more than 80% of the SEA population, and with offices located in Angeles, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila, and Singapore, Society Pass Incorporated (Nasdaq: SOPA) is an acquisition-focused holding company operating 6 interconnected verticals (loyalty, digital media, travel, telecoms, lifestyle, and F&B), which seamlessly connects millions of registered consumers and hundreds of thousands of registered merchants/brands across multiple product and service categories throughout SEA.

Only 42% of newly signed up travel app users transact in the first month: CleverTap Benchmark Report

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Jul 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the all-in-one engagement platform, released its industry benchmark report for travel apps[1]. In the rapidly evolving mobile apps landscape, staying ahead of the competition is crucial for marketers. Therefore, benchmarking performance has become imperative to stay ahead of competition. Travel app marketers will be able to boost conversions and drive higher app activity through the report's insights.

While 80% of travel app users that sign up, do so within 31 seconds, only 42% make a transaction within the first month. This is markedly lower than fintech's 95% and foodtech's 65% signup to conversion rate. Studies have found that users do not see travel apps as being very different from interacting with travel agents. This means that while they may readily sign up for an app; the process of making a transaction may carry the same reservations as with old-school travel agents. Overcoming this challenge requires travel app marketers to place special emphasis on their retention strategies by going above and beyond in providing meaningful value to customers.

CleverTap analyzed 17.9 billion push notifications, 3.8 billion emails, 919.1 million in-app messages, and a total of 64.17 million monthly active users (MAUs). The findings reflect data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America. These include:

-Install to sign-up rate: 1 in 4 users that install travel apps (28%) end up signing up within the first week.
-Average time to sign-up: 80% of the users that sign-up, do so within 31 seconds of launching the app for the first time.
-Sign-up to conversion rate: 42% of newly signed-up users make a transaction in the first month.
-Average time to to convert: 36% of newly signed-up users move from onboarding to deeper-in-the-funnel engagement within a week of onboarding.
-Session frequency: On average, travel app users launch their app around 12 times a month.
-Average week 1 retention rate: 13% of newly signed-up users make repeat transactions in the first week.
-Average click through rate for push notifications: On average, 5.29% of Android users and 3.97% of iOS users will click on and interact with push notifications.
-Average click through rate for in-app notifications: The click through rate for travel in-app notifications is 22.8%.
-Average email open rate: 35.17% users open emails sent by travel app companies
-Average Stickiness Quotient: Travel apps have a stickiness quotient of 18%, that indicates less than one-fifth of monthly active users (MAUs) consistently return to the app.

"With more than a billion travel app users today, brands must emphasize retention more than ever. Sometimes a slight nudge here, a small reminder there may be enough to get users to complete unfulfilled transactions or re-engage with the app. But to maximize customer lifetime value in the long term, marketers need to be agile and identify weak spots within the app's metrics proactively." said Jacob Joseph, VP – Data Science, CleverTap. "Our benchmark report spans billions of data points including push notifications, emails and in-app notifications – giving marketers a holistic view of the industry. Coupled with our world leading platform which spans the entire lifetime of a customer, we are confident this will equip marketers with the right tools to raise the bar even higher."
