RNS Number : 5586D Boku Inc 16 October 2025
16 October 2025
Boku, Inc.
("Boku" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")
Capital Markets Event
Boku (AIM: BOKU), a global network of local payment methods ("LPMs"), is
hosting a Capital Markets Event in London today for investors and analysts at
which the management team will provide an update on Boku's strategy and the
significant growth opportunity ahead.
An attractive market
Boku's network connects global merchants - including the world's largest
technology, media and entertainment companies - to more than 200 LPMs in over
60 countries around the world. More than 100 million consumers now make a
purchase over the Boku network every month.
In 2025, across global eCommerce transactions, LPM payments outstripped those
by traditional cards for the first time. This trend is set to continue and, by
2028, approximately 60% of global eCommerce transactions by value are
projected to be made by LPMs. Given that the global eCommerce market is
predicted to be valued at >$10 trillion by 2028, this represents a
significant opportunity. 1 (#_ftn1)
A clear strategy
Against this backdrop, Boku's mission is to simplify global expansion for its
merchants by providing seamless access to the world's most popular payment
methods. The Group is focused on expanding its LPM coverage, delivering more
connections and developing new products, which in turn will attract more
merchants to the network and drive greater volumes. At the same time, Boku is
sharpening its operational efficiency and building a platform capable of
scaling materially.
Boku's growth is centered around core pillars:
Growing with existing merchants
· Boku partners with some of the world's most successful technology
brands. There remains a substantial opportunity to grow alongside these
merchants, including by increasing the number of LPMs to which they are
connected.
Adding new merchants
· Boku has created a network that spans the globe, with connections
to LPMs across four continents. There is a clear opportunity to expand the
Group's merchant base through a more direct sales approach. This approach is
in the planning phase, with a ramp-up in sales activity expected in 2026.
Layering on value-add services
· Boku is expanding upon on its existing global payment
infrastructure, developing new capabilities across money movement, currency
conversion, and Payment Marketing. The Group is focused on continually
innovating to serve the evolving needs of its merchants.
Underpinning these pillars are Boku's commitments to strong compliance and
risk management, and to being a great place to work - foundations that enable
the Group to scale effectively, deliver for its merchants, and sustain
long-term growth.
A significant growth opportunity
Building on its strong track record, Boku continues to expect the delivery of
its growth strategy to drive an organic revenue growth in excess of 20% on a
compound annual growth rate basis over the medium term. With the benefit of
operational efficiency generated by ongoing investments, the Group also
continues to expect an adjusted EBITDA margin above 30% with progressive
accretion from 2026.

5.30pm (BST). A live webcast will be available for investors and analysts that
