NEW YORK, May 6, 2025 – VTEX (NYSE: VTEX), the backbone for connected commerce, today announced results for the first quarter of 2025 ended March 31, 2025. VTEX results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as well as the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding financial reporting.
Geraldo Thomaz Jr., founder and co-CEO of VTEX, commented, “We began the year with solid performance, sustaining healthy growth. Our recent performance, go-lives of key enterprise customers, and continued platform expansion give us confidence in the sustainability of our profitable growth strategy. In a seasonally softer quarter, we improved margins and delivered strong cash generation. As we continue our transition from a single platform to a comprehensive commerce suite, we are laying the foundation for disciplined and sustainable long-term value creation.” Mariano Gomide de Faria, founder and co-CEO of VTEX, added, “We are encouraged by the go-lives of large enterprise customers. The launch of Americanas highlights the depth of opportunity that remains in Brazil, a market where VTEX already has a strong presence, yet still holds a significant runway for growth as our platform expands. Our initiatives in the US and Europe continue gaining traction, with new customers going live and marketing campaigns bringing decision-makers closer to VTEX. We are proud to be recognized as the Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner® Voice of the Customer for Digital Commerce report for the second consecutive year. We are excited about the road ahead.”

Business Outlook
VTEX is well-positioned to capture an attractive market opportunity. Given macroeconomic uncertainty, we continue experiencing same-store sales and GMV growth volatility. However, we remain encouraged by our leading market positioning, platform expansion and operational leverage.
In this context, we are currently targeting FX neutral YoY subscription revenue growth of 12.5% to 15.5% for the second quarter of 2025, implying a US$57.0 million to US$58.5 million range.
For the full year 2025, as we continue executing our profitable growth strategy, we continue to target FX neutral YoY revenue growth to 14.0% to 17.0%, implying a range of US$238 million to US$244 million based on the average of April FX rates. Additionally, we are targeting a non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow margins in the mid-teens.
We are confident in VTEX's ability to capitalize on current market opportunities. We are empowering our customers to digitally transform their commerce operations while helping them to outperform the market.
The business outlook provided above constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond VTEX’s control. See the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Fluctuations in VTEX’s operating results may be particularly pronounced in the current economic environment. There can not be an assurance that VTEX will achieve these results.

Definition of Selected Operational Metrics
“Customers” means companies ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to larger enterprises that pay to use VTEX’s platform.
“GMV” means 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.
“FX Neutral” or “FXN” means a way of 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 results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next.
“Stores” or “Active Stores” means the number of unique domains generating gross merchandise value. Each customer might have multiple stores.
Special Note Regarding non-GAAP financial metrics
For investor convenience, this document presents certain non-GAAP financial measures. We regularly assess other metrics that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC. These measures help us evaluate our business, track performance, prepare financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions. The key metrics we consider include non-GAAP subscription gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, free cash flow, and FX Neutral measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures, which may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies, provide supplemental insights into our operating performance. They exclude certain gains, losses, and non-cash charges that occur infrequently or that management considers unrelated to our core operations.
