New York - May 22, 2024 /Business Wire/ - CI&T (NYSE: CINT, “Company”), a global digital specialist and fast-growing technology company, today announces its results for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q24) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For comparison purposes, we refer to the results for the first quarter of 2023 (1Q23) and the fourth quarter of 2023 (4Q23).
First quarter of 2024 (1Q24) operating and financial highlights
● Net Revenue was R$523.5 million compared to R$610.0 million in 1Q23 and R$522.6 million in 4Q23, a sequential growth of 0.2%.
● Net Profit was R$22.4 million compared to R$43.6 million in 1Q23.
● Adjusted EBITDA was R$84.3 million compared to R$116.5 million in 1Q23. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.1%.
● Adjusted Net Profit was R$41.7 million compared to R$62.4 million in 1Q23. The Adjusted Net Profit margin was 8.0%.
● CI&T ended 1Q24 with 6,083 CI&Ters compared to 6,111 at the end of 4Q23.
Cesar Gon, founder and CEO of CI&T, commented, "Our first quarter of 2024 has been truly transformative as we continue to make tremendous strides in our journey to becoming an AI-first company. By integrating AI into our operations and fostering a culture of efficiency and innovation, we capitalize on the amazing opportunities for value creation in this next chapter of the digital revolution. As early results, we are pleased to announce a 70 basis point revenue growth above our guidance in 1Q24 and to guide at least a 350 basis points sequential increase in 2Q24, resuming our growth trajectory. We anticipate this momentum will accelerate in the following quarters, leading to a period of resurgent growth in 2024 and beyond."
Comments on the 1Q24 financial performance
The net revenue was R$523.5 million in 1Q24, a decline of 14.2% compared to 1Q23, or a reduction of 12.1% at constant currency. Compared to 4Q23, net revenue grew 0.2%. The geographic distribution of net revenue for 1Q24 was 41.6% from North America, 42.5% from Latam, 11.7% from Europe, and 4.2% from Asia Pacific.
The cost of services provided in 1Q24 was R$355.9 million, 12.7% lower than in 1Q23, and the gross profit was R$167.6 million. The adjusted gross profit in 1Q24 was R$178.4 million, with an adjusted gross profit margin of 34.1%, 1.0 percentage point lower than in 1Q23.
In 1Q24, selling, general and administrative (SG&A), and other operating expenses were R$114.4 million, a reduction of 2.1% compared to 1Q23. This reduction can be primarily attributed to the non-recurring M&A expenses incurred in 2023, partially compensated by business restructuring expenses and increased sales efforts to resume growth in 1Q24.
In 1Q24, the adjusted EBITDA was R$84.3 million, a reduction of 27.7% compared to 1Q23. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.1% in the quarter, a reduction of 3.0 percentage points compared to 1Q23, mainly due to the decline in the gross profit margin and higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue.
In 1Q24, net financial costs were R$12.4 million, 38.1% lower than in 1Q23, mainly driven by lower net foreign exchange volatility in the comparable period, and lower net debt position and interest rates.
Income tax expense was R$16.8 million in 1Q24, 17.9% lower than in 1Q23. The income tax paid (cash effect) was R$3.3 million, equivalent to a cash tax rate of 8.4%.
The net profit was R$22.4 million in 1Q24, compared to a net profit of R$43.6 million in 1Q23. Adjusted net profit was R$41.7 million, a decrease of 33.1% compared to 1Q23. The adjusted net profit margin decreased from 10.2% in 1Q23 to 8.0% in 1Q24, mainly due to lower Adjusted EBITDA, partially compensated by lower net financial costs and tax expenses, as explained above.
As of 1Q24, we are adding back stock-based compensation expenses to calculate Adjusted Net Profit, a non-IFRS financial measure, to align comparability with our main peers. For more details, please refer to the Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Reconciliation tables below.
Cash generated from operating activities was R$130.3 million in 1Q24, 11.8% higher than in 1Q23, due to an improvement in working capital, specifically in trade receivables.
Business Outlook
We expect our net revenue in the second quarter of 2024 to be at least R$542 million on a reported basis, equivalent to a 3.5% growth compared to 1Q24. It assumes an average FX rate of 5.04 BRL/USD in 1Q24.
For the full year of 2024, we expect our net revenue growth at constant currency to be in the range of -2.5% to +2.5% year-over-year. In addition, we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 17% to 19%.
These expectations are forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Cesar Gon, Bruno Guicardi, Stanley Rodrigues and Eduardo Galvão will host a video conference call to discuss the 1Q24 financial and operating results on May 22, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time / 09:00 a.m. BRT.

Basis of accounting and functional currency
CI&T maintains its books and records in Brazilian reais, which is the presentation currency of 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. They 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’ understanding of our operations’ historical and current financial performance.
CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-IFRS Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it cannot reasonably predict the 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 measures, foreign currency exchange gains/losses, and other items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on our 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 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 presented, the adjustments applied were: (i) depreciation and amortization related to the 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. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented as Net Profit, plus net finance costs, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus: (i) stock-based compensation expenses; (ii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in our Chinese subsidiary; (iii) acquisition-related expenses, including the present value and fair value adjustment to accounts payable for business acquired, consulting expenses, and retention packages; and (iv) business restructuring expenses, associated with employees' separation from acquired companies.
In calculating Adjusted Net Profit, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods presented, the adjustments have been made for (i) acquisition-related expenses (including amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, present value and fair value adjustments to accounts payable for business acquired, consulting expenses, and retention packages); (ii) business restructuring expenses, associated with employees' separation from acquired companies; (iii) stock-based compensation expenses; and (iv) the tax effects of non-IFRS adjustments.

Use of judgments and estimates |
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management, has made judgments and estimates about the future that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual consolidated financial statements.
a. |
Measurement of fair values |
A number of the Group’s accounting policies require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has established an internal process with respect to the measurement of fair value. This includes the review of significant fair value measurements, significant unobservable data and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, this information is evaluated to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of the Accounting Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as much as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: Quoted prices (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the changes have occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in note 19.

(i) FVTPL: Fair value through profit or loss.
19.2 Measurement of fair values
The Group has financial instruments measured at fair value, which are classified as defined in the note 4.a, and all of them are under the Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of the Group’s financial instruments considered the following methods and assumptions:
Loans and borrowings: classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and are recorded at their contractual values. The contractual flow of loans and borrowings is adjusted to the future value of the liabilities considering the interest until maturity.
Leases liabilities: classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and are recorded at their contractual values. The contractual flow of leases liabilities is adjusted to the future value of the liabilities considering the interest until maturity.
Accounts payable for business acquired: the account was initially recognized as fair value through profit or loss and subsequently classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and are recorded at their contractual values. Some contractual flow of this obligation is adjusted to the future value of the liabilities considering the interest until maturity. For some obligations, the contractual flow is adjusted considering the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate (discounted cash flows).
CI&T Inc.
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
March 31, 2024
Derivative financial instruments: The financial instruments were valued by calculating the present value using market curves that impact the specific instrument on the calculation dates. For this, future curves of CDI and SOFR, exchange coupon, and currency quotation are used. For interest rate swaps, the present value of the asset position and the liability position are both estimated by discounting cash flows at the interest rate of the currency in which the swap is denominated. The difference between the present value of the asset and the liability position of the swap generates its fair value. For exchange forward swaps, the present value of the asset position and the liability position are both estimated by discounting cash flows at the rate of currency in which the swap is denominated. The difference between the present value of the asset and the liability position of the swap generates its fair value.
19.3 Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risk arising from financial instruments:
Market risk;
Credit risk; and
Liquidity risk.
a. Market risks
The Group is exposed to market risks resulting from the normal course of its activities, such as inflation, interest rates and exchange rate changes.
Thus, the Group's operating results may be affected by changes in economic policies especially regarding short and long-term interest rates, inflation targets and exchange rate policy. Exposures to market risk are measured by sensitivity analysis.
a.1 Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases, receivables, and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Therefore, foreign exchange risk is inherent to the Group’s business model. A significant part of the Group’s revenue is denominated in foreign currency and, consequently, is exposed to exchange rate changes. The Group’s expenses, on the other hand, are mainly denominated in the Group’s functional currency (Brazilian Reais) and, consequently, are not exposed to exchange rate changes. See below the Group’s total exposure to foreign currency:

Cash flow hedge for the Group's future Revenues
The Group designates hedging relationships to account for the effects of the existing hedge between a foreign exchange gain or loss from proportions of its long-term debt obligations (denominated in U.S. dollars) and foreign exchange gain or loss of its highly probable future revenues denominated in U.S. dollar, so that gains or losses associated with the hedged transaction (the highly probable future revenues denominated U.S. dollar denominated) and the hedging instrument (debt obligations) are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the same periods.

Changes in the fair value of US$ foreign exchange debt obligation (non-derivative financial instruments) designated as effective cash flow hedges have their effective component recorded in equity, other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and the ineffective component recorded in statement of profit or loss, in finance income (cost). The amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the periods in which the hedged item affects the result, the effects of which are appropriated to the result, in order to minimize the variations in the hedged item.
The individual hedge relationships are established on a one-to-one basis, that is, the “highly probable revenue” of each month and the proportions of cash flows from foreign exchange debt obligation made abroad, used in each relationship and individual hedge, have the same face value in US dollars.
The exposure of the Group's future revenues in hard currency to the risk of variations in the R$/US$ exchange rate (liability position) is offset by an inverse exposure equivalent to its US dollars debt (asset position) to the same type of risk.
Hedge accounting effects

a.3 Sensitivity analysis
The Company, based on information from rating agencies, estimates that in a reasonably possible scenario, the foreign exchange rate variation against the Real on March 31, 2024, will be a depreciation of 0.12% for the US dollar and appreciation of 2.77% for the British pound. The Company conducted a historical analysis of the last ten years of its exposure and impacts on the results due to currency volatility, considering an adverse scenario and a remote scenario compared to the reasonably possible scenario, and realized a variation of approximately 25% and 50%, respectively. The presentation considered these scenarios both in appreciation and depreciation, as the percentages in historical scenarios showed both types of fluctuations.

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
The Company, based on information from rating agencies, estimates that in a reasonably possible scenario, the interest rates could decrease by up to 124 basis points for CDI and by up to 26 basis points for SOFR on March 31, 2024. The Company conducted a historical analysis of the last 10 years of its exposure and impacts on the results due to the interest rate changes, considering an adverse scenario compared to the reasonably possible scenario, and estimated a variation by 279 basis points for CDI and by 26 basis points for SOFR. The Company also considering a remote scenario compared to the reasonably possible scenario and estimated a variation by 572 basis points for CDI. The presentation considered these scenarios both in increase and decrease, as the percentages in historical scenarios showed both types of fluctuations. The Company considers it unfeasible to contemplate the remote scenario for SOFR, given the brief adoption in the market (beginning in June 2023).

b. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will not comply with its contractual obligations, causing the Group to incur financial losses. Credit risk is the risk of a counterparty in a business transaction not complying with an obligation provided by a financial instrument or an agreement with a client, which would cause financial loss. To mitigate these risks, the Group analyzes the financial and equity condition of its counterparties, as well as the definition of credit limits and permanent monitoring of outstanding positions.
The Group applies the simplified standard approach to commercial financial assets, where the provision for losses is analyzed over the remaining life of the asset. For further details about the amounts related to the expected credit losses for trade receivables and contract assets, see note 6.
In addition, the Group is exposed to credit risk with respect to financial guarantees granted to banks.
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of R$ 360,296 on March 31, 2024 (R$ 211,638 as of December 31, 2023). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated BB- to A-, based on Standard & Poor’s, Moodys and Fitch ratings.
