CI&T Reports Solid Results in 1Q23

CI&T (NYSE: CINT, “Company”), a global digital specialist, today announces its results for the first quarter of 2023 (1Q23) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For comparison purposes, we refer to the results for the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22).

First Quarter of 2023 Operating and Financial Highlights

  • Net Revenue was R$610.0 million, an increase of 24.0% compared to 1Q22 or a 24.3% growth at constant currency.
  • The number of clients with annual revenue above R$1 million in the last twelve months grew from 110 in 1Q22 to 180 in 1Q23.
  • Net Profit was R$52.4 million compared to R$29.2 million in 1Q22, a 79.2% increase year over year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was R$116.5 million, a 37.9% growth year-over-year, equivalent to an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.1%.
  • Adjusted Net Profit was R$67.2 million, 70% higher than 1Q22, with an Adjusted Net Profit margin of 11.0%.
  • Cash generated from operating activities was R$116.5 million in 1Q23, compared to a cash consumption of R$47.0 million in 1Q22.
  • CI&T ended 1Q23 with 6,522 CI&Ters, compared to 6,435 at the end of 1Q22.

Cesar Gon, founder and CEO of CI&T, commented, “I'm glad to kick off this cloudy 2023 with solid results from top to bottom, demonstrating our agility in maintaining a lean structure and adapting to changes in the external market environment.

“At the same time, I believe that we are on the verge of probably the most disruptive moment in the history of computers on Earth. AI is a transformative technology with real-world applications and rapid advancements. And we, at CI&T, are moving thoughtfully fast with our clients, co-creating the future in this new chapter of innovation and endless possibilities.”

Comments on the 1Q23 financial performance

The net revenue was R$610.0 million in 1Q23, an increase of 24.0% compared to 1Q22, or a 24.3% net revenue growth at constant currency. We experienced growth in net revenue across all regions we operate in compared to the same period last year.

The cost of services provided in 1Q23 reached R$407.9 million, 24.0% higher in relation to 1Q22, and the gross profit was R$202.1 million. The Adjusted Gross Profit in 1Q23 was R$213.9 million, an increase of 23.4% compared to 1Q22, and the Adjusted Gross Profit margin was 35.1%, in line with 1Q22.

In 1Q23, selling, general and administrative (SG&A), and other operating expenses were R$116.5 million, 15.8% higher when compared to 1Q22, mainly attributed to an increase in personnel expenses, and higher amortization of intangible assets from the acquired Companies. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A and other expenses decreased to 19.1% in 1Q23 from 20.4% in 1Q22, as planned, since SG&A are mainly fixed expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$25.1 million in 1Q23, 29.2% higher than in 1Q22, as a result of an increase in the amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, from R$7.6 million in 1Q22 to R$12.7 million in 1Q23.

In 1Q23, the Adjusted EBITDA was R$116.5 million, 37.9% higher compared to 1Q22. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.1% in the quarter, an increase of 1.9 percentage points compared to 1Q22, mainly due to the dilution of SG&A expenses.

In 1Q23, net financial expenses were R$20.0 million, 19.5% higher than 1Q22, mainly driven by a higher debt position, an increase in interest rates, and a negative foreign exchange (FX) variation in the period. In 1Q23, the reported net FX loss was R$2.2 million, while in 1Q22 it was a net FX gain of R$ 1.3 million. In 1Q23, income tax expense was R$11.7 million, a reduction of 23.4% in relation to 1Q22.

The net profit was R$52.4 million in 1Q23, 79.2% higher than in 1Q22. Adjusted Net Profit was R$67.2 million, an increase of 70% over 1Q22. The Adjusted Net Profit margin increased 3 percentage points, from 8.0% in 1Q22 to 11.0% in 1Q23, mainly as a result of a reduction in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue and lower income tax expense.

Business Outlook

We expect our net revenue in the second quarter of 2023 to be at least R$570 million compared to net revenue of R$525 million in the second quarter of 2022, a 9% growth on a reported basis.

For the full year of 2023, we are maintaining our net revenue growth in the range of 13% to 17% year-over-year, assuming a constant currency outlook. In addition, we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be at least 19% for the full year of 2023.

These expectations are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. See “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 17, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, pursuant to which CI&T may repurchase up to 1.5 million of its outstanding class A common shares in the next 12 months. The program was approved taking into consideration the Company's commitments to deliver shares under its stock-based compensation plan and M&A transactions.

Basis of accounting and functional currency

CI&T maintains its books and records in Brazilian reais, the presentation currency for its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the functional currency of our operations in Brazil. CI&T prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, and International Financial Reporting Standard No 34—Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We regularly monitor certain financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. These non-IFRS financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Net Profit Margin, Net Revenue at Constant Currency, and Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but not as substitutes for IFRS results. In addition, our calculation of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures are provided as additional information to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our operations’ historical and current financial performance.

CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses, the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments, foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, and other items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS-reported results for the guidance period.

We calculate Net Revenue at Constant Currency and Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency by translating Net Revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into Brazilian reais using the comparable foreign currency exchange average rates from the prior period to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, we exclude cost components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were: (i) depreciation and amortization related to costs of services provided; and (ii) stock-based compensation expenses.

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments were: (i) stock-based compensation expenses; (ii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in the Chinese subsidiary; and (iii) acquisition-related expenses, including present value adjustment on accounts payable for business combination, consulting expenses, and retention packages.

In calculating Adjusted Net Profit, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were acquisition-related expenses, including amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, present value adjustment on accounts payable for business combination, consulting expenses, and retention packages.
