Hello everyone and welcome to the Lesaka Technologies webcast and conference call for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
As a reminder, the webcast is being recorded and the presentation can be accessed through the webcast link as well as dialing into the zoom conference call dial-in numbers provided. Management will address any questions you may have at the end of the presentation. [Operator Instructions] The webcast link, zoom conference call dial-in numbers as well as our press release and supplementary investor presentation are available on our Investor Relations website at ir.lesakatech.com.
Additionally, Lesaka filed its Form 10-Q after the US market close yesterday, which is also available on our Investor Relations website. As a reminder, during this call, we will be making forward-looking statements, and I ask you to look at the cautionary language contained in our Form 10-Q regarding the risks and uncertainties associated with forward looking statements.
Also, as a domestic filer in the United States, we report results in US dollars, under US GAAP. However, it is important to note that our operational currency is South African rand and as such we analyze our performance in South African rand. In this presentation, we will discuss our results in South African rand, which is non-GAAP. This assists investors' understanding of the underlying trends in our business. As you know, the company's results can be significantly affected by the currency fluctuations between the US dollar and the South African rand.
Taking a look at today’s agenda: Ali Mazanderani, Chairman of Lesaka, will give an overview of the quarter. Steve Heilbron, Head of Corporate Development will provide an update on the Merchant Division, followed by Lincoln Mali, CEO of Lesaka Southern Africa, who will take us through the Consumer Division’s performance. Dan Smith, Group CFO, will present an overview of our financial performance for the three months ended September 30 2024 and provide an update on guidance. Thereafter we will open the call for Q&A.
