How does Xoom make money?
Transaction fees charged
to customers. Service fees
generally vary by country,
type of funding source,
disbursement currency
and send amount.
Xoom also generates
revenue from foreign
exchange spreads on
transactions where the
payout currency is other
than US dollars.
7
How does Xoom make money?
In February 2014 Xoom acquired BlueKite, and introduced
cross-border bill pay as well as mobile phone top-up
payments for its customers in five countries toward the end
of 2014. The fee per bill paid is $2.99 and the feature will roll
out to additional markets in the coming year.

Xoom customers do not pay originating agent
commissions.
The majority of transfers are funded directly
from bank accounts, which lowers the cost of
sales.
Xoom is not weighed down by the costs of
maintaining a physical infrastructure.
9
Capital light
Origination: All transfers originate online or via
mobile device so there are no physical locations
to deal with.
Funding: Transfers come from a US bank
account, credit or debit card. With no
originating agents accepting cash, Xoom doesn’t
incur the costs or commissions associated with
physical agent-based origination and funding.
10
How does it work?
Disbursement: Recipients accept the money as
they choose (direct deposit in all countries, cash
pickup via bank partners in most, even home
delivery in Dominican Republic and the
Philippines).
Transaction processing: Proprietary risk-
management model allows Xoom to fund
instantly in most cases while minimizing risk of
loss at the same time.

The percentage of Xoom’s GSV (gross sending volume) that is funded by
bank accounts through ACH (Automatic Clearing House).
The percentage of ACH funded transactions that Xoom processes instantly
in order to expedite disbursement by its partners.
Xoom calls this “instant ACH.”
The number of days Xoom is exposed to the risk of reversals for ACH
transactions. Reasons for reversals include bounced checks, invalid
accounts, fraud, etc.

Margins mean money
19
This is the target range for the company’s sustainable gross margin.
“ACH risk management requires that a merchant take on four days of
funding risk. We have perfected our risk management systems to allow us
to make a decision to give the consumer an instant experience, even
though we're taking on four days of funding risk almost all the time.
So we get these great margin benefits, the consumer gets a great price,
and yet the consumer also has a very fast experience. There is no one that
we know of who does this.” Xoom CEO John Kunze
 An investment in Xoom is really about what the stock’s going
to look like in 5 years.
 Cap IQ estimates have the company reaching $280 million in
revenue in 2017.
 Let’s examine historical numbers and growth rates in order to
better understand the potential for the future.

 Using Cap IQ revenue estimates we can make some basic
assumptions regarding avg. transactions per customer and
avg. revenue per transaction in order to check what growth
rates will be needed in customers and total transactions.
 These numbers seem quite achievable if not beatable. By
then Xoom is a profitable business. What will the market pay?

 Disruption: Something better can always come along.
 Risk Management: Instant ACH is a key differentiator; any
flaws in risk management could kill margins.
 Security: Breaches in security could send users elsewhere.
 Limits: Sending limits, while part of risk management, could
stifle growing market share but are very reasonable.
 Exchange Rates: Weak dollar can ding transactions and GSV,
particularly in India.
 Geography & Regulation: More than 70% of 2014 revenue
was tied to transfers to Mexico, India and the Philippines.
 The Big Macro: Weak economic conditions hamper volume.
24
Risks
 Western Union: With its vast physical presence it’s not going
away, but it is being disrupted thanks to the Internet.
 Cards: Visa Direct & MasterCard Send are new offerings
which bypass ACH altogether. Possible partner? Possible
competition?
 PayPal: Doesn’t focus on Xoom’s core market, doesn’t have
same banking relationships in recipient countries.
 WalMart/MoneyGram: Still big and cumbersome networks,
lack Xoom’s core focus.
 Facebook/Social: Will Facebook wipe out the money transfer
industry? Doubtful, but it could play a part in reshaping it.
25
Competition
 Money is moving around the world at a phenomenal pace and
this is poised to continue.
 This is NOT a winner-take-all situation. There will of course be
more than one winner in this space.
 Xoom’s digital platform, capital light business model and risk
management system together are advantages.
 Xoom focuses on US outbound remittance, a smaller part of
an important and growing market.
 Key differentiators for Xoom today are instant ACH and
customer service/disbursement options.
 Xoom’s complementary services stand to serve as excellent
retention tools that enhance overall customer relationship.

Bottom line for investors
Remember, investing is all
about the future. There are
never any guarantees and you're
taking a measure of a leap of faith
every single time.
