LETTER FROM THE CEO
Purpose, resilience, persistence, community, growth, investment and partnership are the words that come to mind in reflecting on the
Purple Group’s progress over the last 12 months. It also strikes me that these words highlight our advantage and position us extremely
well for the challenging market and economic times we find ourselves in today.
Purple Group has continued to make great progress across all key metrics in the reporting period and has successfully concluded the
acquisition of EasyProperties, EasyCrypto and Rise. In the result, all stakeholders are aligned around a common purpose and goal,
enabling greater diversity of income and levers for growth in the years ahead. All of these have made healthy contributions to the group
revenue while posting very impressive growth year on year.
Focusing in on the EasyEquities key metrics builds on the growth story that continues to play out across the group.
• Client numbers and associated metrics have all continued to grow impressively with active clients up 50.4%, having added around
   250 000 new first-time investors in the period.
• Our investment coverage was expanded to include South African Unit Trusts and UK and European Shares and ETFs, adding on our
   already extensive offering of US, Australian and South African Shares and ETFs.
• We continued to attract and retain top talent and have built a wonderful team in the Philippines, to augment and complement our
   incredible South African team, to serve partnerships in the region and provide the group with a truly 24-hour operating capability.
The board approved the Group Strategy in November 2021 and unlocked investment from our income statement to lay down new
runways for growth to more clients, products, markets and partnerships.
Our EasyEquities client cohort data, now eight years old, is revealing behavioural insights that confirms their resilience and
commitment to their long-term investing goals. The discipline, consistency, and persistency in the way they are going about their
investing activities is quite extraordinary and provides an engine for growth for the group that directly benefits from their loyalty to
the platform, and their commitment to improve their investment behaviour and outcomes year on year. Key insights that come from
observed client data and behaviour year on year includes:
• Clients deposit and invest more;
• Clients consume more products and services;
• Average revenue per client (ARPU) increases; and
• Clients stay and are extremely loyal – on average they refer one new client per two existing clients.
Group Revenue was up 33.8% lifted by good results from almost all the Group companies and while market conditions were not
supportive of growth, we still turned in a very satisfactory result.
Group Operating Expenses increasing by 38.1% need to be read in the context of:
• New business development cost incurred to enable and integrate into new partners, +-R20 million, were accounted for in the period
   with no resulting revenue. (Discovery Bank, Telkom, SE Asia Partner);
• Client cohorts onboarded over the period, circa 250k, are not yet profitable to the group and accounted for around R31 million of the
   operating costs; and
• Increased KYC and associated onboarding costs of new clients plus the consolidation of EasyCrypto into the group accounted for
   around R9 million of the increase.
Despite these upward pressures on the operating cost base, the Group still managed to continue to reduce the cost to serve clients
(COS) by 16% this year.
Importantly, the continuing divergence in APRU, which is increasing year on year, versus COS, that keeps declining year on year,
fundamentally means that existing client cohorts become more and more profitable as we add clients and launch new product
verticals. Another enabling by-product of this intrinsic factor of the group is that in the outcome it means that new clients and new
products become profitable in shorter and shorter periods as the business scales.
In the result, this gives us an increasing strategic advantage over our competitors while ensuring that our profit margin on client
cohorts continues to improve.
However, where recently onboarded clients (+-500k < two years on platform), outweigh older client cohorts (+-250k > two years on
platform), as they do in this period the operating cost base of the group will look on the face of it to be inefficient, hence why we focus
on COS and ensuring that this improves year on year. While ARPU is unpredictable in the short term, due to market cycles, over the
medium and long term it is highly predictable and trends back towards the levels evidenced by the older client cohorts. All client
cohorts onboarded since launch in 2014 turned profitable in year two or three of being clients.
Purpose leads our strategy and focuses us acutely on delivering to the needs of our clients, in so doing enabling more and more
opportunities for them to create wealth whilst balancing the growing need for them to protect wealth too, presenting the opportunity
for us to continue to deliver more products and services in the years ahead. We have demonstrably evidenced our ability to build
products that meet our clients’ needs and scale and integrate these into the group in a relatively short period of time through
EasyProperties and EasyCrypto. We will launch two new exciting product verticals within the next six months – securitised credit
through EasyCredit and Life Insurance through EasyProtect. Both will greatly uplift ARPU.
We have built and continue to build a high growth group. A trusted and loved brand. All while delivering low cost, low margin, easy,
fair and fun financial products and services that engage new audiences and grow the market. We remain profitable and frugal with
our resources.
Whilst the market struggles to place a value on our efforts, we know we are building something special, a category winner, that’s
rewriting and fundamentally changing the financial fabric of the countries we operate in.
Thank you to all our partners, shareholders, clients and teams for staying the course and continuing to commit yourselves to delivering
on our purpose and building towards our goal of being the world’s best investment platform.
