(i)In August 2024, VTEX completed the acquisition of Weni Tecnologia da Informacao LTDA., a Brazilian privately held company specializing in communication automation solutions and chatbots (Refer to Note 4). The incorporation of Weni into VTEX’s operations is expected to be finalized in January 2025.
(ii)In December 2024, VTEX created OFFBounds Media. As of December 31, 2024, the company is still non-operational.
The Group 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.
2Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accounting policies described in detail below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are applicable for the group consisting of VTEX and its subsidiaries. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group.
a.Basis for preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The consolidated financial statements of the VTEX Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“US$”) which is the functional currency of VTEX (Group’s parent company) and presentation currency of the Group. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousands of US$, except when otherwise indicated.
b.New standards, interpretations, and amendments adopted by the Group
A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards.

c.Critical estimates and accounting judgments
Management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments and estimates made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those set at the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. No retrospective adjustments were made.
On August 29, 2024, VTEX acquired 100% of the shares of Weni, a Brazilian 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, as well as a long-term fixed installment of US$972. The acquisition agreement features potential additional consideration, which may be payable 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 US644.
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.

(i)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 Group 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 Group from August 29, 2024, to December 31, 2024. The revenue of Weni for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for the business combination that occurred during the period had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period would be US$5,542 and a net profit of US$423.

(i) Mainly related to RSU amounts that are treated as temporary differences until the instrument is vested.
(ii) Tax losses decreased in line with 2024 positive results, and the current balance is expected to be offset in the foreseeable future. Most of the amount is comprised by losses from our Brazil operations, where tax losses do not expire and its offset is capped at 30% of the taxable profit for each fiscal year, as per the applicable tax regulations.
(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.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was US$16,935 (US$16,660 in 2023) of remaining unamortized compensation costs, including social charges, related to unvested stock options and RSUs granted to the Group’s employees. This cost will be recognized over an estimated weighted average remaining period of 1.84 years. Total unamortized compensation costs will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.
The total expense, including taxes and social charges related to the share-based compensation plan for the year ended December 31, 2024, was US$16,303 (US$19,071 in 2023). For the period ended December 31, 2024, the Group recorded in the capital reserve the amount of US$10,766 (US$13,776 in 2023).
The Company must withhold an amount for an employee's tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and transfer that amount to the tax authority on the employee's behalf. The Company is settling the share-based compensation on a net basis by withholding the number of shares with a fair value equal to the monetary value of the employee's tax obligation and only issuing the remaining shares on completion of the vesting period. If all of the shares outstanding as at December 31, 2024 were subsequently vested, the Group would be required to pay taxes of approximately US$9,369 (US$ 13,847 on December 31, 2023) considering the stock price as of December 31, 2024.
18.2 Share-based compensation: Loja Integrada

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against the risk of change in the foreign exchange rates. Therefore, they are not speculative. The derivative financial instruments designated in hedge operations are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is executed and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. Changes in the fair value of any of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in the income statement under "financial results, net”.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group had positions in future derivative financial instruments designed as a hedge of foreign currency risk in Argentina, which was raised through Matba Rofex. The notional value is US$ 13,000 and the last hedge contract is due February 2025.

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the year of 2024.
Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)
The fair value of the earn-out classified as level 3 is calculated based on the judgment of the Group and the probability of meeting the goals of each acquisition made during the year. The sale and purchase agreement of each acquisition is established if the clients of the acquired entities migrate to the Groups platform and reach an agreed amount, the seller will be entitled to an earn-out.
Since October 2023, VTEX holds strategic investments in privately held equity securities of unquoted companies specializing in conversational commerce solutions and AI-driven platforms for data analytics and automation. The Company classified them as Level 3 within the fair value measurement framework. The fair value of these investments is measured by commonly used market valuation techniques, including the market approach, and is supplemented with estimates such as revenue growth and liquidity.
The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk, and volatility. For the year ended December 31, 2024 the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation model include EV/Revenue multiples. Sensitivity analysis indicates that a 10% increase or decrease in the EV/Revenue multiple results in a fair value change of US$850.

The risk management of the Group is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the board of directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates, and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management and policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

Acquisition of Newtail
On January 9, 2025, VTEX acquired 100% of the shares of Newtail Serviços de Tecnologia LTDA (“Newtail”), a privately held company specializing in the retail media business, for a total cash consideration of $4,106. The acquisition is expected to expand the Group's retail media solutions. The financial effects of this acquisition, including the initial recognition of the assets, liabilities, and goodwill associated with the acquired company will be accounted for in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. At the date of approval of these financial statements, management is in the process of assessing the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Newtail at the acquisition date. In addition to the cash consideration, a separate agreement with the owners of the acquired company provides for an additional payment of US$ 1,644, covering a long-term non-compete agreement.
Subsequent share repurchase and canceling
During January and February of 2025, the Company canceled 1,500,247 Class A common shares, of which 72,584 shares were held in treasury as of December 31, 2024, and 1,427,663 were repurchased after December 31, 2024 under the repurchase share program.
Item 2 – Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section may contain certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements for several reasons, including those described in our prior filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this document.

stores, integrate and manage orders across multiple channels, create marketplaces to sell third-party vendors' products, and optimize their product delivery process, among many other capabilities.
With over 20 years of experience in digital commerce, VTEX has been a leader in accelerating the digital commerce transformation in Latin America and is expanding globally. Our platform is engineered to enterprise-level standards and functionality with approximately 87.2% of our GMV coming from large, blue-chip companies (i.e. customers with more than US$10 million of GMV per year). We are trusted by 2.4 thousand customers with 3.4 thousand active online stores across 43 countries to connect with their consumers in a meaningful way.
We benefit from the acceleration of digitalization globally, and in particular in Latin America, where ecommerce is still underpenetrated. Accelerating ecommerce growth, evolving consumer expectations and the proliferation of digital shopping alternatives are raising the bar for brands and retailers to stay relevant. Legacy structures developed over years force enterprises to choose between deep customization and speed to market. Our technology combined with our ecosystem of partners solves this problem. We deliver flexibility and simplicity to complex, mission critical commerce operations.
Our Collaborative Commerce approach benefits from a powerful ecosystem with significant network effects. Our ecosystem includes more than 7,000 VTEX IO extensions created by third parties, 1,000 SIs and ISVs, 500 marketplaces, 180 payments solutions and 90 logistics companies. Our partners’ solutions are embedded within our platform, allowing our customers to seamlessly execute their commerce vision and strategy. The more customers adopt our platform and partners join our network, the more efficiently we can help facilitate the future of commerce.
In the year 2024, our company achieved several recognitions and acknowledgments. Commencing the year, VTEX was the only vendor named a Customers’ Choice in the Gartner® Voice of the Customer for Digital Commerce report, and was named a Leader in IDC MarketScape: Worldwide B2C Digital Commerce Platforms for Midmarket Growth 2024 Vendor Assessment. In the second quarter, VTEX was also named a Leader in IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Headless Digital Commerce Applications for Midmarket Growth Vendor Assessment. In the third quarter, Paradigm B2B Combine: Enterprise Edition report and Paradigm B2B Combine: Midmarket Edition awarded VTEX medals in all 12 B2B digital commerce categories evaluated in each report.
In November 2024, Gartner® named VTEX a Challenger in the Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce report for our Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision, having been recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce report for the eighth consecutive year.
We offer access to our platform on a subscription basis, which accounted for 96.6% of our total revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to 95.9% of our total revenue in the same period of 2023. Our subscription revenue is based on a fixed subscription fee and a transaction-based fee. The transaction-based fee accounts for most of our subscription revenues and is primarily structured as a take rate or percentage of the total value of the orders processed through our platform, including value added taxes and shipping, which we refer to as our GMV. Our transaction-based fee model aligns our success with our customers’ success and our revenue grows as our customers’ GMV grows. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, our GMV reached US$5.4 billion, representing an increase of 0.2% in USD and 10.9% on an FX neutral basis. In the same period, our revenue reached US$61.5 million, representing an increase of 1.3% in USD and 12.3% on an FX neutral basis.
Key metric— Gross merchandise value
The key metric we use to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate our business plan projections and support our strategic decisions is GMV. Due to the seasonality of ecommerce and the foreign exchange effects resulting from the volatility of the currencies of the jurisdictions where we operate (particularly Latin America countries) vis-à-vis the U.S. Dollar (which is our functional currency), our management compares GMV on a year-over-year and foreign exchange neutral basis. The foreign exchange neutral measures are calculated by using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during the previous year, adjusted by inflation in countries with hyper-inflation, and applying them to the corresponding

months of the current year, so as to calculate what our results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next.
GMV is the total value of customer orders processed through our platform, including value added taxes and shipping. Our GMV does not include the value of orders processed by our SMB customers or B2B transactions. Due to our transaction-based subscription model, we believe that GMV growth is linked with our revenue growth and we track GMV as an indicator of the success of our customers, the performance of the platform and our market share.

Seasonality and quarterly operations results
Our transaction-based subscription model, similar to most retail businesses, experiences seasonal fluctuations. Historically, we have generated higher net sales in the fourth quarter, as a consequence of the concentration of special dates during that quarter.
The following table sets forth our quarterly condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss data for each of the last historical nine quarters. The condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss data below has been prepared on the same basis as the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document and, in our opinion, reflects all necessary adjustments, consisting only of ordinary course recurring adjustments, necessary to present this information fairly and accurately. These historical quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any future period.

Components of our results of operations
The following is a summary of the principal line items comprising condensed consolidated interim income of profit and loss.
Total revenue
Our total revenue consists of (1) subscription and support revenue, arising from a multichannel cloud and SaaS-based platform focused on ecommerce; and (2) revenue from professional services and other, arising substantially from consulting services.
Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue consists of revenue derived from (1) a mix of transaction-based fees and fixed subscription fees, in each case derived from customers using our platform; (2) our SMB business; and (3) other business units that generate recurring revenue to us.
Transaction-based fees comprise (a) commission fees charged to customers based on a percentage of the GMV or a fee per order processed on our platform; and (b) commission fees charged to marketplace partners, payment providers, and any other services provided through our app store.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated
Fixed subscription fees comprise (a) yearly or multi-year upfront fees paid by merchants to reduce future variable fees; and (b) fixed monthly fee for using our platform in any given month. Fixed fees are paid to us at the beginning of the applicable subscription period, regardless of the length of the subscription period. As subscription fees are received in advance of providing the related services, we record deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet for the unearned revenue and recognize revenue ratably over the related subscription period.
Services revenue

Total cost for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024 decreased by US$0.4 million, or 2.5%, to US$15.5 million from US$15.9 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to a decrease in total cost of services by US$0.6 million which was partly offset by the increase in the total cost of subscription by US$0.2 million given the increase in transactions and the GMV processed on our platform.
Total cost for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024 decreased by US$1.5 million, or 2.5%, to US$59.4 million from US$60.9 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to a decrease in total cost of services by US$3.8 million primarily due to the discontinuation of hyper-care mode for new customers in the USA and Europe, as our evolved ecosystem now efficiently supports most new implementation independently, which was partly offset by the increase in the total cost of subscription by US$2.2 million given the increase in transactions and the GMV processed on our platform.

Our capital expenditures, consisting of purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets, for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, amounted to US$2.1 million and US$0.5 million, respectively, representing 0.9% and 0.2% of our total revenue for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For 2025, we expect to maintain our capital expenditures as a percentage of our total revenue in line with the ratios we delivered in 2024. We expect to meet our capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months from our net cash provided by operating activities and our existing cash and cash equivalents.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of December 31, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, derivative financial instruments, credit risk and liquidity risk. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is described below:
Interest rate risk
The interest risk arises from the possibility of us incurring losses due to fluctuations in interest rates in respect of fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument.
Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes and we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our trade receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities do not bear interest.
Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments 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, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of investment-grade securities, which may include commercial papers, money market funds, and government and nongovernment debt securities. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash, cash equivalents, and

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(Unaudited)
In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated
short-term investments, as of December 31, 2024, we are not materially exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates.
Foreign currency exchange risk
We have significant operations internationally that are denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to foreign exchange risk is primarily related to fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the currency of Latin American countries in which we operate (primarily the Brazilian real, Argentine peso, Colombian peso, Chilean peso and Mexican peso). We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues and costs. Our cash flows, results of operations and some of our intercompany balances are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations that may differ materially from expectations. We may record significant gains or losses due to foreign currency fluctuations and related hedging activities.
Our subsidiaries determine their functional currency based on the currency that mostly impacts their economic environment. As a result, they generate revenues and incur expenses in currencies other than the Group’s presentation currency. As of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, 20.8% and 20.3% of our revenues were denominated in, or linked to, U.S. dollars, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, our assets were represented by 63.5% and 61.3% in U.S. dollars, 36.5% and 38.7% in other currencies. As of December 31, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, our liabilities, excluding our total shareholders’ equity, were represented by 12.8% and 11.7% in U.S. dollars, 87.2% and 88.3% in other currencies.
We are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations on the revaluation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. We use foreign exchange derivative products to hedge the risk of currency devaluation and hyper-inflation. By their nature, derivative financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of non-performance by counterparties. We use derivatives for hedging purposes and not as speculative investments.
