New York, Aug 14, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) issues research report on Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA) (“SoPa”), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next generation, data-driven, loyalty, fintech and e-commerce ecosystem.

Summary Points:

• Diversification – SOPA started 2022 with just F&B (food & beverage) and Leflair (lifestyle) and now has 6 verticals. The company has also expanded to 5 countries; Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. Maxim believes there are significant cross selling opportunities. Specifically, Maxim believes Thoughtful Media can market the company’s other brands and the lifestyle business can be expanded geographically. Maxim has a positive view on the SEA market due to increasing mobile and ecommerce penetration, younger populations, travel coming back, and the opportunity to consolidate smaller companies. The acquisition of Inetindo creates additional expansion opportunities in other geographies and other branded products to be sold, and can increase the subscriber base that can be deployed to the potentially highest profit margin business of Society Points (loyal progam).

• Acquisitions – Acquisitions have diversified revenue streams to include Apple distribution stores, online advertising, travel/hotel ticketing, and telecom while expanding geographies in SEA. The Apple distribution stores acquisition was the largest acquisition to date in terms of revenue, with the potential to expand geographically and add users for its Loyalty program.

• Cashflow Positive – Management is forecasting to be cash flow positive at some point in 2H23.

• Healthy balance sheet – SOPA ended 2Q23 with unrestricted cash of $10.8M (close to the entire market cap of SOPA), slightly down from $13.8M at the end of 1Q23, and no material amount of debt. 2Q23 cash flow from operations was an outflow of ($2.9M). With expense reduction plans and newer businesses, along with the launch of the Loyalty program, Maxim expects the cash burn to decline and that current levels of cash should be sufficient to fund organic growth through 2024.

• Raise Revenue Targets – Maxim projects revenue to increase from $5.6M in 2022, to $16.5M ($15.0M prior) in 2023, up 194% y/y, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of ($11.0M) ($7.7M prior). For 2024, Maxim projects revenue of $44.3M ($25.1M prior), up 168% y/y.

• Compelling valuation/Reiterate Buy – Maxim targets share price to increase to $1.50. SOPA trades at an EV/revenue multiple of 0.1x Maxim’s 2024 revenue estimate vs. the peer average of 2.4x. Maxim’s $1.50 price target is based on its 10-year DCF analysis, which utilizes a 22% discount rate, 13x terminal multiple, and 3% terminal growth rate, equating to 0.7 x 2024 revenue estimate. Maxim’s positive outlook is supported by the attractive SEA markets and opportunities to consolidate smaller companies.

Despite 1H 2023 revenues growing 348% year-on-year in the five largest economies of SEA, our 1H 2023 cash operating expenses DECLINED by 28%. Just as importantly, our profit margins are dramatically improving on a year-to-year basis. We realized 29.9% gross margins in 1H 2023, up from a negative 1.6% grow margins in 1H 2022.

Mr Liang elaborates, “I note that our two main subsidiaries, Thoughtful Media and NusaTrip, were only acquired in 2H 2022. Yet, in just under 12 months, both subsidiaries now contribute more than 90% of SoPa’s revenues. I expect both subsidiaries to materially contribute to the Group’s revenues and profits in 2H 2023. Our third biggest subsidiary, NextGen Retail, announced the acquisition of a large retailer of Apple products in Indonesia. I expect NextGen Retail to grow much quicker in 2H 2023. Finally, with the Singapore launch of our SoPa Loyalty App Launch in June 2023, we have put the final piece of the puzzle in building out our business plan. The synergies generated between our loyalty platform and our subsidiaries will translate into significant revenue generation going forward. With the continuing performance in our three big verticals, we confidently project attaining cash profitability sometime in 2H 2023.”

Singapore, Aug 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Society Pass Incorporated (“SoPa”) (Nasdaq: SOPA), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next-generation, data-driven, loyalty, fintech and e-commerce ecosystem, today announced a strategic payments partnership with 2C2P, a global full-suite payments platform headquartered in Singapore, to drive e-commerce shopping in SEA. Through this partnership, Society Pass’s loyalty application would be able to offer 2C2P’s wide array of alternative payment options to customers based in the Philippines and Indonesia.

2C2P operates payment services in eight markets across Asia and supports over 250 payment options, from cards to cash to e-wallets. Over the years, 2C2P has established and nurtured an extensive network of partners globally, adhering to local and international regulatory compliance standards. The current network includes all major local and international credit cards, over 17 major digital wallets and QR payment platforms, and various alternative payment methods. 2C2P‘s customers can use their preferred payment method via cards, digital wallets, or over–the–counter at over 400,000 locations in Asia. The extensive payment solutions meet the needs of businesses from diverse sectors, including airlines, insurance, marketplaces, retail, F&B, and hospitality.

Amidst the pandemic and its recovery, the adoption of digital payments in the region has accelerated while cash usage has continued to decline. Propelled by a surge in digital commerce and government incentives/initiatives, providers of domestic payments, mobile wallets, and buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) operators, are all witnessing increased adoption by businesses. Forecasts suggest SEA’s digital economy is experiencing impressive growth rates from 2021 to 2026E and will outpace China, Europe, and the US. According to an IDC InfoBrief commissioned by 2C2P, SEA’s digital economy spending will rise by 121% by 2026, and digital payments will reach 92% of total digital economy payments by 2026, up from 80% in 2020.

Rokas Sidlauskas, Chief Marketing Officer of SoPa, commented, “We are excited to announce this strategic payments partnership with 2C2P as it enables Society Pass to offer more flexible and convenient methods to pay for goods and services within our ecosystem to our customers. By integrating leading Southeast Asia digital e-wallets such as AliPay (regional), Touch n’ Go (Malaysia), Momo (Vietnam) or GCash (Philippines) just to name a few into our ecosystem, Society Pass enables millions of customers to access our platforms, ranging from travel (NusaTrip), to e-commerce (Leflair.com), to telecoms (Gorilla Networks), and to digital advertising (Thoughtful Media Group). This is especially important considering that we operate in Southeast Asian markets, where unfortunately, over 75% of people are unbanked and do not possess debit or credit cards”.

Mr. Sidlauskas added, “In partnering with 2C2P, we automatically increase the potential customer-base within Southeast Asia by millions of potential users. We are excited by the prospect of adding value by offering our services to them”.

Rachelle Alexis Lim, Executive Director of 2C2P, said, “As we embark on this strategic partnership with Society Pass, we look forward to enhancing the payments experience of SOPA’s consumers across SEA. This collaboration with SoPa aligns perfectly with our mission to drive e-commerce growth in the region and globally, revolutionising how people transact and unlocking the potential of the digital economy for all”.

Jakarta, July 20, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – NusaTrip Inc (“NusaTrip”), 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 acquired Vietnam International Travel and Service JSC (“VIT”), a IATA-licensed, full-service travel agency focused on marketing to the Vietnam inbound and outbound segments.

NusaTrip previously acquired VLeisure, Vietnam’s leading provider of hotel management and payment solutions, in April 2023. Patrick Soetanto, NusaTrip CEO, comments on the acquisition, “VIT is the first IATA-licensed travel acquisition we have made outside of Indonesia. Our business plan calls for acquisitions of other IATA-licensed travel agencies throughout Asia Pacific in 2023, including Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, India and UAE, as we position NusaTrip to be the premier travel hub in SEA. According to Phocuswright, gross bookings in SEA by 2025 will reach 94% of the record 2019 level and digital transformation will accelerate rapidly across SEA, with online bookings more than doubling between 2022 and 2025. Effectively, the region has reverted back to pre-pandemic levels. We are growing NusaTrip at the opportune time.”

Founded in Vietnam since 2016, VIT operates inbound and outbound ticketing businesses targeted at corporate and travel tour segments. Nguyen Ngoc Minh, Founder and Managing Director of VIT, explains his rationale for selling to NusaTrip, “SoPa and NusaTrip are known leaders in the SEA and Vietnamese e-commerce and travel sectors. I am proud to sell VIT to NusaTrip as I know NusaTrip will greatly expand VIT’s business here in Vietnam. I wish both SoPa and NusaTrip the best luck going forward.”

Le Phan, NusaTrip Managing Director and VLeisure Founder, adds, “I am especially excited about this acquisition as it will only add to the breadth and depth of NusaTrip and VLeisure’s product offering in Vietnam. Statista projects the Vietnam travel market to reach US$3.0 billion in 2023. Total market size is expected to reach US$4.2 billion by 2027, reflecting an annual growth rate of 8.8%. We intend to leverage VIT’s strong presence in the corporate and tour markets here in Vietnam to drive strong revenue growth for NusaTrip in 2023.”

The Vietnam economy is the 5th largest in SEA and 34th largest in the world with a 2023 nominal gross domestic product of US$449 billion. The World Bank forecasts Vietnam’s economy to grow by 6.3 percent and 6.4% in 2023 and 2024, respectively, after a robust 8 percent in 2022.
