| 2 | Basis of presentation and consolidation |
a. Basis for preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of VTEX Group for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”).
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in an annual consolidated financial statement. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and any public announcements made by the Group during the interim reporting period.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the income tax estimation (see note 6) and the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD” or “US$”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. All amounts are rounded to the nearest thousands, 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.

The fair value of the restricted stock units granted was calculated using the same Target Asset Price used in the Stock Options appraisal model.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there was US$14,831 (US$11,626 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 1.73 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2024, was US$7,881 (for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023: US$9,434 ). For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Group recorded in the capital reserve the amount of US$5,370 (for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023: US$7,636 ).
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 June 30, 2024 were subsequently vested, the Group would be required to pay taxes of approximately US$11,644 (US$13,847 on December 31, 2023) considering the stock price as of June 30, 2024.
| 17.2 | Share-based compensation: Loja Integrada |
On April 29, 2021, VTEX introduced a new share-based compensation plan to selected directors and employees as a stock-option and RSU plan in Loja Integrada, a subsidiary wholly owned. This share-based compensation plan also has RSU and Stock Options. Under both stock-option plan and RSUs, the options have a term of 7 years as of the grant date. They are exercisable as long as the director or employee fulfills the worked periods after the options are granted.

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the first semester of 2024.
Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)
In October 2023, VTEX initiated a strategic investment in privately held equity securities of an unquoted company, for an initial amount of US$2,000. The estimation of fair value for this investment requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, and as a result, the Company classified it as Level 3 within the fair value measurement framework. The valuation method is based on information available, including the market approach, and is supplemented with estimates such as revenue growth and liquidity.
The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the period ended on June 30, 2024:

| b. | Fair value of other financial instruments at amortized cost |
The Group also has several financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. As at June 30, 2024, these instruments’ fair values are not different from their carrying amounts since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. Differences were identified for the following instruments at June 30, 2024:

| 18.2 | Financial risk management |
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.

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 June 30, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this document.
Overview
VTEX is the composable and complete commerce platform for premier brands and retailers. VTEX delivers more efficiency and less maintenance to organizations seeking to make smarter IT investments and modernize their tech stack. Through our pragmatic composability approach, we empower brands, distributors, and retailers with unparalleled flexibility and comprehensive solutions, enabling them to invest solely in what provides a clear business advantage and boosts profitability. Our platform is designed to be the operating system for the commerce ecosystem to orchestrate complex network of consumers, business partners, suppliers, and fulfillment providers in one place. VTEX puts its customers’ business on a fast path to growth with a complete Commerce, Marketplace, and OMS solution. We help global companies build, manage and deliver native and advanced B2B, B2C, and marketplace commerce experiences with unprecedented time to market and without complexity.
We are redefining the boundaries between digital and physical commerce, empowering personal shoppers, and fostering seamless interactions across both realms. Our aim is to boost our customers’ conversion and efficiency rates in their commerce operations. Through VTEX, enterprises can easily build online 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 86.5% 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 2.6 thousand customers with 3.5 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. In 2024, our company is achieving several recognitions and acknowledgments. In the first quarter of 2024, VTEX was the exclusive vendor recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2024 Gartner® Voice of the Customer for Digital Commerce. According to the report, 98% of VTEX customers expressed their willingness to recommend the ecommerce platform to their peers. Additionally in February 2024, we were recognized as the top leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide B2C Digital Commerce Platforms for Midmarket Growth Vendor Assessment study. Rated the highest out of 25 vendors, we stood out for our comprehensive solutions and strategic focus on B2C excellence. In the second quarter of 2024, VTEX has been named a Leader for the first time in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Headless Digital Commerce Applications for Midmarket Growth 2024 Vendor Assessment, being recognized for providing comprehensive, unified commerce solutions, including B2B, B2C, B2X, omnichannel, experiential commerce, and marketplaces.

We offer access to our platform on a subscription basis, which accounted for 95.5% of our revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to 93.5% of our 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 June 30, 2024, our GMV increased to US$4.4 billion from US$3.8 billion in the same period of 2023, representing an increase of 15.6% in USD and 19.4% on an FX neutral basis. In the same period, our subscription revenue increased to US$54.0 million from US$44.8 million, representing an increase of 20.6% in USD and 24.7% on an FX neutral basis.
In the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, our total revenue, which includes subscription and services revenue, increased to US$56.5 million from US$47.9 million in the same period of 2023, representing an increase of 18.1% in USD and 21.9% 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. The pandemic’s macroeconomic impact led to fluctuations in seasonal patterns, resulting in certain levels of volatility. Nevertheless, we foresee these effects gradually normalizing as the macroeconomic conditions ease.

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.
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
Services revenue consists primarily of revenue derived from consulting services which are recognized over time during the period that services are performed. Services revenue accounted for 4.5% of our revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to 6.5% in the same period of 2023. For the six-month period ended on June 30, 2024, the consulting services revenue accounted for 4.4% of our revenue, compared to 6.2% in the same period of 2023.
Cost of revenue
Our total cost consists of (1) subscription cost; and (2) services cost.

Table of Contents
Subscription cost of revenue
Subscription cost consists mainly of costs related to hosting and customer support costs. The hosting related costs include third-party providers, software related platform operating costs, and compensation for our infrastructure team. Support costs are mostly driven by personnel cost, and represent expenses related to the support we provide to our customers.
Services cost of revenue
Services cost consist mainly of personnel costs and/or third-party expenses to provide the professional services advisory for a specific project of a customer project.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of (1) personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for our finance, support operation departments, legal and compliance teams; (2) corporate expenses; and (3) corporate overhead allocation. General and administrative expenses also include costs related to business acquisitions, legal and other professional services fees and depreciation and amortization.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of (1) personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation) and commissions paid to the direct sales team, the success team, partnership sales team and sales enablement team; (2) travel-related expenses; (3) marketing and events expenses; (4) finder fee commissions; and (5) the allocation of corporate overhead. We plan to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses in the regions that we currently have a presence as well as in new regions over time in order to continue to enhance our brand awareness and our capabilities to attract new customers.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of (1) personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for product development, product management and product design; (2) software subscription costs related to the product; and (3) the allocation of corporate overhead. We expect to increase the research and development expenses to continue investing in product innovation, and in the development of new products.
Financial results
Financial results consist of financial income and financial expenses. Financial income consists of interest earned on bank deposits, foreign exchange gains, short-term investment gains and other financial income. Financial expense consists mostly of foreign exchange losses, short-term investment losses, losses from fair value of financial instruments, interest on lease liabilities and adjustment of hyperinflation in Argentina.
Income tax
Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes, current and deferred, in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. The current and deferred income taxes are calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries in which we operate and generate taxable income.
Currently we are running losses in most of our subsidiaries, and to that extent and considering the profitability expected in the foreseeable future our most relevant operation has been booking the related tax losses as part of our deferred tax assets.

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:
36
Table of Contents
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 short-term investments, as of June 30, 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 and Chilean 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, 20.1% and 20.3% of our revenues were denominated in, or linked to, U.S. dollars, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, our assets were represented by 62.2% and 61.3% in U.S. dollars, 37.8% and 38.7% in other currencies. As of June 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, our liabilities, excluding our total shareholders’ equity, were represented by 12.4% and 11.7% in U.S. dollars, 87.6% 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.
