Self-Service and Embedded Multi-Payment Terminals for Vending Machines

「Initial revenue increased due to the acceleration of delivery for a large-scale drugstore project scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of the consolidated fiscal year and the success of promotional measures targeting SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises).」

「In the fourth quarter of the consolidated fiscal year, we began selling next stera, a new embedded terminal added to the conventional countertop model in the stera series.」

「We achieved stable sales of payment terminals, including stera, IoT terminals for unattended checkout machines and other applications, and mobile terminals used in taxis and other settings. Stock, fee and spread revenue also grew as the terminals sold operated steadily, supported by increased inbound consumption resulting from the increase in visitors to Japan.」

「Due in part to the continued high level of shipments of payment terminals for certain large-scale projects from the beginning of the fiscal year through the third quarter, initial revenue at GMOフィナンシャルゲート株式会社, where terminal sales including stera account for most of the business, grew to ¥8,587.433 million, up 64.0% year on year.」

「In addition to continued growth in terminal sales, including stera, as shipments and full-scale installation of terminals for large-scale projects progressed, both the number and value of payment transactions remained strong. This reflected the accelerating normalization of economic activity and a certain contribution from inbound demand due to the increase in visitors to Japan.」

「Terminal sales, including stera, continued to grow from the previous consolidated fiscal year. Business also remained strong, supported by increased consumption during the year-end shopping season and inbound demand resulting from the increase in visitors to Japan. Orders in the unattended payments market, a priority market that includes automated checkout machines and ticket machines, also progressed steadily.」

「Although the face-to-face sector remained susceptible to the decline in spending at physical stores resulting from the spread of infection, terminal sales performed well amid government and local-authority initiatives to promote cashless payments. The increase in units sold of terminals for the next-generation payment platform “stera” also contributed to growth in initial revenue and in the number and value of payment transactions in the segment. Orders also progressed steadily in the Unattended Market, a priority market comprising automated checkout machines, ticket vending machines and other equipment.」

「Although the face-to-face sector remained susceptible to the decline in spending at physical stores resulting from the spread of infection, terminal sales performed well amid government and local-authority initiatives to promote cashless payments. In addition, the number of stera terminals sold increased, and orders progressed steadily in the Unattended Market, a priority market comprising automated checkout machines, ticket vending machines and other equipment.」

「In the face-to-face sector, terminal sales performed well as the Company captured demand for IC-enabled credit card terminals following revisions to the Installment Sales Act. Orders also progressed steadily in the Unattended Market, a priority market comprising automated checkout machines, ticket vending machines and other equipment.」

「In the face-to-face sector, GMOフィナンシャルゲート株式会社, a consolidated subsidiary, was promoting the introduction of self-service multi-payment systems for use in vending machines and other applications, and began offering embedded multi-payment terminals jointly developed with NAYAX株式会社 in January 2018. The multi-payment terminals were selected for installation in beverage vending machines operated by ITO EN,LTD.」
