Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of VTEX

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VTEX and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Significant accounting policies

 

3.1
Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The actual results may differ from the estimates made by management. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions in these consolidated financial statements include:

 

estimates of expected credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables and contract assets;
certain inputs used to fair value acquired intangible assets;
inputs used to fair value equity and other investments in private companies, including revenue growth rates, revenue multiples based on market comparables, and a discount for lack of marketability;
estimates and judgments involved in applying the measurement alternative associated with equity and other investments in private companies, including the Company's assessment to evaluate whether an investment is impaired through analyzing market conditions, business results, observable transactions and other qualitative measures, and to measure the amount of that impairment, when applicable, by developing certain key assumptions, including revenue growth rates, revenue multiples based on market comparables, and a discount for lack of marketability;
estimates involved in evaluating and leasehold improvements, including, but not limited to, estimated future cash flows associated with terminating the respective asset groups;
estimates of fair value for share-based payment transactions, which require the determination of the most appropriate valuation model and underlying assumptions;
the recognition, measurement and valuation of current and deferred income taxes and uncertain tax positions which involves interpretation of tax laws in various jurisdictions in which we operate and requires judgment and use of estimates and assumptions regarding future events, such as amounts, timing and character of income, deductions and tax credits;
useful life rate of intangible and fixed assets;
the incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities; and
the probability and amount of loss contingencies.

 

3.2
Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. Revenue is composed of subscriptions and other services as further discussed below:

 

a.
Subscription revenues stem from a cloud-based multichannel software as a service (“SaaS”) platform focused on ecommerce, with a single performance obligation to provide continuous access to the platform. Revenue is recognized over time and includes a fixed percentage of each customer's gross merchandise value (recognized when end-consumer transactions occur) and non-refundable upfront fees (recognized evenly over the contractual period). Other items that may be included in the transaction price are fixed monthly fees, recognized ratably over the contract term, and VTEX’s share from partner arrangements, recognized when the underlying consumer transactions take place.

 

13


Table of ContentsVTEXNotes to the consolidated financial statements

 

In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

b.
Services revenue consists primarily of consulting and professional services, including digital commerce solutions, architecting and education packages. Revenue is recognized over time as services are performed and progress is made toward completion. The Company does not provide implementation services, which are provided by third-party companies.

 

The total transaction price is determined at contract inception and allocated based on the relative standalone selling price of each obligation.

 

Revenue recognition and invoicing may not align. When revenue is recognized before invoicing, an unbilled receivable is recorded in accounts receivable. Deferred revenue is recorded when cash is received or due before performance, and recognized when the services are provided.

 

The Company determines whether it acts as a principal or an agent in transactions involving third parties. When acting as an agent, revenue is recognized on a net basis, representing the amount retained for facilitating the transaction. When acting as a principal, revenue is recognized on a gross basis, reflecting total consideration received.

 

Estimates related to revenue, costs, or project completion are reviewed periodically. Any changes are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which they are identified.

 

3.3
Deferred contract acquisition costs

 

Deferred contract acquisition costs are costs incurred to obtain a contract. Deferred costs include deferred sales commissions that are incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts. if such costs are recoverable, and consist primarily of sales commissions and related payroll taxes.

 

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are earned on new contracts which are capitalized and amortized over the average period of benefit.

 

The Company amortizes deferred sales commissions over five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration past experience with customers and the initial estimated customer life. The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of deferred commissions to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit and recoverability of these deferred costs.

 

The Company includes the deferred contract costs mainly in sales and marketing expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Sales commissions of $6,523 and $3,929 were deferred for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively; and deferred commission amortization expense was $1,585 and $1,035 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

3.4
Share-based compensation

 

The Company grants stock options (“SOP”) and restricted stock units (“RSU”) to selected directors and employees as long-term incentives. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, which are based on historical experience. Any revisions to original estimates are recognized in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Share-based compensation is measured at fair value on the grant date. The related expense is recognized over the required Table of ContentsVTEXNotes to the consolidated financial statements In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

service period, generally the vesting period of the award. These expenses are recognized as share-based compensation expenses and allocated in the consolidated statements of operations based on the activities that the employees perform.

 

3.5
Income tax

 

VTEX is a Cayman company that has subsidiaries operating in several countries and is subject to different income tax regimes.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year which the differences are expected to reverse. The impact of tax law changes is recognized in periods when the change is enacted.

 

The Company evaluates tax effects of an uncertain tax position to determine whether the tax positions have met a “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The unrecognized tax benefit is the difference between the tax benefit recognized and the tax benefit claimed on our income tax return. Management evaluates that all material tax positions in the current and prior years have been analyzed and properly accounted for and that the risk of additional material uncertain tax positions that have not been identified is remote.

 

Valuation allowances are recorded if based on the weight of all available evidence it is more likely than not some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In connection with this assessment, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature, frequency, and magnitude of current and cumulative losses on an individual subsidiary basis, projections of future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback periods, future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, as well as feasible tax planning strategies that would be employed by the Company to prevent tax loss carryforwards from expiring unutilized.

 

3.6
Foreign currency transactions

 

All the Company’s foreign operations have determined the local currency to be their functional currency, except for Argentina, which qualifies as a highly inflationary economy. Accordingly, the foreign subsidiaries with local currency as functional currency translate assets and liabilities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars by using the exchange rates in effect on the consolidated balance sheet dates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average monthly rates in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in non-functional currencies are recognized in the statement of operations. Net foreign currency transaction results are included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Other income, net”.

 

Argentine currency status

 

The Company’s Argentine subsidiary is accounted for as operating in a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. While its functional currency remains the Argentine Peso (ARS), its financial statements are remeasured as if the U.S. dollar were the functional currency, with remeasurement gains and losses recognized in the consolidated statements of operations Table of ContentsVTEXNotes to the consolidated financial statements In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

The Company continues to closely monitor the evolving macroeconomic environment and its potential impact on its business and financial position.

 

3.7
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, with original maturities at their acquisition date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted cash includes deposits subject to contractual restrictions and therefore not available for general use by the other entities within the Company. These funds are contractually restricted and are not available for general corporate use until the contractual obligations are fulfilled.

 

3.8
Marketable securities

 

The Company’s marketable securities consist of short-term investments such as corporate bonds and commercial paper that do not meet the criteria of cash equivalents. Marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities - those the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and carried at amortized cost, interest on these debt securities, as well as amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts, are included in interest income and as available-for-sale - investments in debt securities not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities, carried at estimated fair value using the fair value option.

 

The fair value option permits the Company to measure certain eligible financial assets at fair value. This election is irrevocable, must be made at the time of initial recognition, and applies to the entire instrument. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Other income, net”. The Company has elected to apply this fair value option to its available-for-sale investments, which consists mainly of foreign government bonds and discretionary investment portfolios. This election was made to ensure consistency in the accounting treatment and presentation across equity and other investments.

 

Marketable securities are assessed as to whether any unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely the Company would be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their remaining amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses deemed other than temporary are determined using the specific identification method and reported as financial income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

3.9
Fair value measurements

 

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, trade accounts payable and accruals and employee-related accruals approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting guidance, using a fair value hierarchy. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

3.10
Equity and other investments

Table of ContentsVTEXNotes to the consolidated financial statements

 

In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

Strategic investments are a part of the Company strategy and use of capital, expanding its expertise and building strong partnerships around strategic initiatives. The Company evaluates each investment to determine if the investment is a variable interest entity and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no variable interest entities required to be consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company classifies each equity investment into one of three categories: (i) equity and other investments with readily determinable fair values, (ii) equity and other investments without readily determinable fair values, and (iii) equity and other investments under the equity method of account. Equity and other investments in publicly traded companies with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value at each balance sheet date and any movements in the fair value are classified as other income in the consolidated statement of operations .

 

Equity and other investments in private companies without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost less impairments, with subsequent adjustments for observable changes, referred to as the measurement alternative. Estimates and judgments are involved in applying the measurement alternative associated with equity and other investments without readily determinable fair values by developing certain key assumptions, including revenue growth rates and revenue multiples based on market comparables.

 

The Company evaluates each investment to determine if it should use the equity method based on ownership, influence, and involvement, including board representation. Qualified investments are adjusted for the Company 's share of income or loss and amortization of the basis difference. The Company previously owned VT Comercio, a joint venture ("JV") formed in July 2019 with a 50% participation. On August 30, 2023, the Company announced the termination of the JV, and the dissolution terms were finalized in May 2024.

 

The Company assesses its equity and other investments in private companies and equity method investment for impairment through analyzing market conditions, business results and other qualitative measures that suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired, and the decline in value below the carrying amount is determined to be other than temporary.

 

3.11
Derivatives and hedging

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against the risk of change in the foreign exchange rates. Therefore, these instruments are not speculative.

 

3.12
Trade receivable, net

 

Trade receivables are stated at net realizable value and include both billed and unbilled receivables. The Company continuously evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for credit losses for amounts deemed uncollectible. Customers are grouped based on similar risk profiles, and the Company assesses both invoiced and unbilled accounts receivable considering historical collection patterns, significant risk factors, and expected future collectability. This estimate is reviewed annually and adjusted as needed to reflect updated conditions.

 

Trade receivables and unbilled revenue are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Identified risks pertaining to the Company’s invoiced accounts receivable include the delinquency level and customer type. The estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances, historical customer delinquency, and assessment of the overall portfolio and general economic conditions.

3.13
Loss contingencies

 

The Company records accruals for loss contingencies when losses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company evaluates developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued and makes adjustments as appropriate.

 

Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. The Company may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the likelihood or magnitude of a possible eventual loss, if any.

 

3.14
Operating leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives.

 

Operating lease costs and expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

3.15
Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment items are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and any impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

 

Computer and peripheral equipment are depreciated over five years, while furniture and fixture are depreciated over four to ten years. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of their associated leases, which varies from two to ten years. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds from the sale with the asset’s carrying amount. The residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods of assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if necessary.

3.16
Business combinations

 

The Company follows the acquisition method to account for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recorded at their estimated fair values on the date of a business acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill.

 

Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments would be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The Company analyzes whether an arrangement for payments to selling shareholders is part of the consideration transferred to the acquiree or is a transaction separate from the business combination.

 

3.17
Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include goodwill, customer relationships, intellectual property, software, and trademarks acquired through business combinations. These assets are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if applicable.

 

The Company periodically reviews the estimates for potential adjustments, including the reassessment of useful lives when applicable.

 

a)
Goodwill

 

Represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. It is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise.

 

Goodwill is allocated to reporting units based on expected synergies from the business combination. The Company periodically reviews its reporting structure to assess potential changes in the aggregation of assets, which may impact goodwill allocation and impairment testing.

 

Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level. A qualitative assessment is performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is lower than its carrying value, considering macroeconomic conditions, industry factors, financial performance, and other relevant indicators. If necessary, a quantitative test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recorded, limited to the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

 

The Company may bypass the qualitative test and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment, pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, and perform a quantitative analysis. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, no impairment losses were recorded.

b)
Customer relationship and intellectual property

 

Customer relationship and intellectual property acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. These assets have a finite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of up to 8 years.

 

c)
Software

 

Licenses of software acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if applicable. Amortization is calculated under the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years according to the valuation made on the purchase prices allocation. Maintenance costs are recognized as expenses when incurred.

 

d)
Trademark

 

Trademarks acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if applicable. Amortization is calculated under the straight-line method over 10 years according to the valuation made on the purchase prices allocation.

 

3.18
Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. The assessment of whether any impairment exists involves comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the remaining life of the asset or asset group to their net carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or asset group are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recorded based on the estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

3.19
Segment reporting

 

For reviewing the operational performance of the Company and allocating resources purposes, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of the Company, which is comprised as the Board of Directors of the Company, reviews the consolidated results as a whole.

 

The CODM considers the whole Company a single operating and reportable segment, monitoring operations, making decisions on fund allocation, and evaluating performance based on a single operating segment. The CODM reviews relevant financial data on a consolidated basis for all subsidiaries.

 

3.20
Interest rate risk

 

The interest risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses due to fluctuations in interest rates in respect of fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument.

Table of ContentsVTEXNotes to the consolidated financial statements

 

In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company investments are made for capital preservation purposes, and the Company does not obtain investments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s trade receivables, account payable, and other liabilities do not bear interest.

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities consist primarily of interest-bearing accounts held by our parent Company in USD. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To minimize interest rate risk, the Company maintains its portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of investment-grade securities, which include money market funds, time deposits and government and non-government securities. As of December 31, 2024, we are not materially exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates.

 

3.21
Foreign currency risk

The Company considers itself exposed mainly to market risk associated with unfavorable foreign currency movements related to contracts and investments in its subsidiaries as well as in costs and expenses.

 

The Company uses foreign exchange derivative products to mitigate the exposure of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

3.22
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Year

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances segment-level disclosures for both interim and annual reporting. This update requires entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items considered by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Additionally, it clarifies when multiple segment profit or loss measures may be reported, introduces new disclosure requirements for entities with only one reportable segment, and includes other reporting enhancements. The guidance applies to annual periods beginning after January 1, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024. The CODM has concluded that the Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment and evaluates segment performance based on consolidated net income (loss), as disclosed on Note 19.

 

3.23
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09 on Improvements to Income tax disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt and apply the guidance in fiscal year 2025 and is currently assessing its impact.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which enhances the disclosure of certain costs and expenses to provide greater transparency in the income statement. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt and apply the guidance in the fiscal year 2027 and is currently assessing its impact.

Acquisition of Weni

 

On August 29, 2024, VTEX acquired 100% of the shares of Weni, a privately held company specializing in communication automation solutions and chatbots, to enhance its customer engagement and operational automation capabilities. The consolidated financial statements include the results of Weni for the period from the acquisition date.

 

a.
Consideration transferred

 

The purchase price includes an initial cash consideration of US$3,016, paid upon closing, as well as a long-term fixed installment of US$972, with payments extending through 2029. The acquisition agreement features potential additional payment based on the achievement of specific performance targets and the continued employment of key executives over the next three years. As these additional payments fall outside the scope of the business combination, they are recognized as employee benefit expenses in profit or loss over the applicable service period. The total amount of expenses outside the scope of the business combination recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024 was US$644.

 

The table below represents the purchase price allocation to total identifiable intangible assets acquired and net liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

(ii) The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and synergies of the acquired business. At the acquisition date, goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company has a plan to merge Weni into VTEX Brazil in 2025, therefore no deferred tax is recognized. According to Brazilian tax legislation, the expenses related to Goodwill and other intangibles acquired in a business combination are deductible for tax purposes only after the merger.

 

Acquired receivables

The fair value of acquired trade receivables was US$1,525. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is US$1,557, with a loss allowance of US$32 recognized on acquisition.

 

Revenue contribution

 

The acquired business contributed revenues of US$1,204 and a net profit of US$114 to the Company from August 29, 2024, to December 31, 2024. Weni’s contribution to the Company’s revenues for the current reporting period would be US$5,542 (unaudited), with a net profit of US$ 423 (unaudited), if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year. Weni’s contribution to the Company’s revenues in 2023 would be US$4,481 (unaudited), with a net profit of US$502 (unaudited).

Trade receivables are amounts from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Invoices are usually settled within 30 days from issuance, however some contracts may comprise long term payments.

 

Due to the maturity and nature of the trade receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

(i) The tax expense was determined based on the Brazilian corporate income tax (CIT) rate considering that, currently, the Group’s biggest operation is in Brazil. This table reconciles the expected income tax expense, computed by applying the combined Brazilian tax rate of 34%, to the actual income tax expense. The Group’s combined Brazilian tax rate includes the corporate income tax at a 25% rate and the social contribution on net profits at a 9% rate. Differences between local income tax rates to the Brazilian income tax rate were allocated to “Tax rate reconciliation”. Apart from Brazil, the Group’s biggest operations are in Argentina, the US and Colombia, which CIT rates in 2024 were 35%, 21% and 35%, respectively. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Group is not subject to tax on income or capital gains.

(ii) Benefit related to the deductibility of research and development (technological innovation) expenses at the amounts higher than booked from the income tax basis as provided for by Law No. 11.196/05 - known as Lei do Bem.

(i) Mainly related to RSU amounts that are treated as temporary differences until the instrument is vested.

(ii) Tax losses are mainly a result of the current investment position of operations in Brazil, United Kingdom and United States. In Brazil, tax losses are not subject to statute of limitation but ought to be used observing the limits established by the local tax legislation. The amounts recorded in Brazil are expected to be offset in the foreseeable future. There is not enough positive evidence of recoverability for tax loss carryforwards in VTEX UK and VTEX US, therefore, a valuation allowance for the full amount in these entities was recorded. As of December 31, 2024, these tax losses have no expiry.

(iii) Most of the amounts appointed as others in the deferred tax assets reconciliation correspond to temporary differences mainly arising from operations carried out in Argentina and Mexico. It refers to provision for payment of suppliers, sales commission, unrealized foreign exchange variation and minor items whose deductibility timing differs from accounting rules as determined by local tax laws.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established or maintained against its deferred tax assets, based on consideration of all available positive and negative evidence, using a "more-likely-than-not" standard. The factors the Group uses to assess the likelihood of realization are its recent operating results, historical losses and the cumulative losses, forecasts of future pre-tax income, and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the only movement in the valuation allowance was the addition of US$3,949 (US$6,318 for December 31, 2023) mainly related to the deferred taxes of VTEX UK and VTEX US.

 

The Company had no material uncertain income tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. In the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

As of December 31, 2024, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for potential income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The holding entities of the company are based in jurisdictions where these investments can be recovered tax-free under applicable tax laws.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

14.1. Contingencies

 

The Company is party to civil, labor and tax lawsuits involving loss risks. Loss contingencies resulting from lawsuits are estimated and updated by the Company, based on the evaluation of its legal advisors.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. The outcomes of legal proceedings and other contingencies are, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

 

The breakdown of existing loss contingencies of the Company which are recognized as a liability, is as follows:

15.2 Additional paid-in capital

a. Share repurchase program

In 2023, the Company repurchased 3,719,860 Class A common shares under the 2022 share repurchase program, for the amount of US$15,169. On August 3, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the renewal of the Company’s repurchase program for an aggregate consideration of up to US$20 million with an expiration date of August 10, 2024. In 2023, 3,668,986 Class A common shares were repurchased in this program, for the amount of US$20,074.

On December 3, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's Class A common shares for an aggregate consideration of up to US$30 million with an expiration date of December 2, 2025. The new share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common shares, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. The timing and amount of shares repurchased (if any) will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. In 2024, 1,836,638 Class A common shares were repurchased for the amount of US$11,202.

Repurchases under the Company's program may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws, including the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18. The timing of repurchases will depend on factors including market conditions and prices, the Company’s liquidity requirements and alternative uses of capital.

The share repurchase program could be suspended from time to time or discontinued, and there is no assurance as to the number of shares that will be repurchased under the program or that there will be any repurchases. The timing and amount of shares repurchased (if any) will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Any repurchased shares may be canceled or remain available for use in connection with its equity incentive plans and for other corporate purposes.
