Including Games & Information Services, FlexiContent allowed subscribers to use Premium SMS to access world cup match progress reports and results in REALTIME.

eServGlobal Sells USP Business For $93 Million To Oracle

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

eServGlobal Limited (ESV), a provider of smarter transaction management solutions, is pleased to announce the conditional sale of its USP Business and USP Products to Oracle for up to US$93.75 million (£65 million, AUD$113.4 million). eServGlobal Limited has entered into a conditional agreement to sell the assets and undertakings of its USP Business, including the USP Products, to Oracle.

The USP Business operates by providing software solutions to telecommunications customers through the licence and support of the USP Products. The USP Products proposed to be sold to Oracle include the USP Platform, ChargingMax, MessageMax, NumberMax, uVOMS, UMS and Social Relationship Manager. The revenue attributable to the USP Business in the financial year ending 30 June 2009 was AUD$61.6 million (£35.6 million) (42% of the total revenue for eServGlobal in that year). Profits attributable to the USP Products and other associated assets cannot be calculated, as they are not currently accounted for separately from the non-USP Products and assets and is further due to the fact that the cost accounting and reporting undertaken by the Company is by expense category and not product category.

Following completion of the proposed transaction, the Company will focus on continuing and enhancing the growth of its non-USP Business utilising the non-USP products. The non-USP business comprised 58% of the Company’s total revenue in the financial year ending 30 June 2009 and has exciting prospects.

The purchase price is US$93.75M (AUD$113.4 million, £65 million) which compares to a total market capitalisation of eServGlobal on 24 May of AUD$88.6 million (£51.2 million). Approximately 22% of the purchase price (US$20.75 million) (AUD$25.1 million, £14.4 million) will be held in escrow for a period of two years, with 50% of the escrow amount to be released after the first year and the remainder to be released after the second year (assuming funds are available and that there are no claims).

Having built, implemented and developed a world leading pre-paid charging platform, the Company recognises that Telecom Operators (“TOs”) are progressively looking for suppliers to provide ‘convergent billing’ solutions; meaning both pre-paid and post-paid billing in a single offer. Without a post-paid solution, eServGlobal could not independently provide convergent billing. To that end, the Company is dependent upon post-paid billing partners when providing solutions to tier one telecommunications operators. As these partners introduce their own pre-paid platforms, the value of the USP platform to the Company reduces.

eServGlobal Signs Phillipines Contract

Friday, February 19th, 2010

eServGlobal Limited (ESV), a provider of smarter transaction management solutions in Charging, Payment, Retention and Network Services, today announces an agreement for its HomeSend remittance platform between Belgacom International Carrier Services (BICS) and G-Xchange (GXI), a fully-owned mobile-commerce subsidiary of Philippines’ Globe Telecom.

The agreement provides for GXI’s existing number of remittance corridors to be expanded using the HomeSend Remittance Hub. The HomeSend service, created in partnership with BICS, provides a mobile-centric approach to international remittance which represents a significant new step in mobile payment. It allows subscribers of any mobile operator connected to HomeSend to transfer money electronically via a cellular phone to a GCASH subscriber.

This new cooperation, therefore, provides increased choice and convenience for Filipinos living or working overseas when sending money home to their families and friends in the Philippines.  The first interoperability tests between GCash, the fastest growing mobile wallet service in Asia, and HomeSend, eServGlobal’s mobile centric hub for international remittances, have been successfully completed. Three corridors will initially be launched in the coming weeks, namely between Belgium, UK and USA, and the Philippines, but will be extended in the near future towards other sending markets with large numbers of overseas Filipinos.

eServGlobal began investing in the development of HomeSend in 2007. It was a strategic undertaking in collaboration with BICS to provide an easy to use software as a service offering for mobile-to-mobile money transfer at a fraction of the cost for subscribers. HomeSend is the only mobile-centric international remittance hub endorsed by the GSMA and with this new deal, the company is now beginning to see the fruits of its labour. With the Philippines on board, customers will now be able to access the third largest remittance recipient market in the world.
