To our shareholders
As we post our results for the fourth quarter 2023, we are pleased to announce that 2023 was yet again an important chapter in advancing on our mission to make easier the financial lives of people and businesses in Brazil. In 2022, when my second letter was published here, I mentioned our historic milestone of surpassing R$ 1 trillion in financial transactions processed in 16 years of existence. In 2023, we processed almost R$ 1 trillion in financial transaction in one single year, revealing the strength of our products, the reliability of our IT infrastructure, and the compounding effect in our growth. Also, we were able to add more than 3 million new clients, surpassing 31 million PagBank clients by year-end, almost 15% of Brazilian population.
In Payments, our value proposition expanded beyond micro-merchants and the usage of POS devices. TPV grew +11% y/y in 2023, reaching R$ 394 billion, with the last quarter presenting stronger trends on TPV, growing +21% y/y in 4Q23, with a positive highlight of our performance in SMBs, which TPV grew +31% y/y in 4Q23. This was only possible due to our integrated strategy that combines financial services and payments in a unique way, instant settlement into PagBank account, the word-of-mouth effect, and the strengthening of our HUBs in different geographies in the country. Also, we concluded the integration of MOIP and revamped our cross-border payments unit under PagSeguro International brand, which has been contributing to the TPV growth in large accounts, with brick-and-mortar, online and omnichannel solutions. Our service levels have been consistently improving over the years, reflecting higher scores for our app and NPLs and stronger client engagement. Besides all the good news, micro-merchants, which are our natural call, grew +14% y/y in TPV in 4Q23, and now can count with tap on phone solution in their smartphones.
In banking, we delivered significant developments, such as the collection platform for merchants, which gathers cards payments, PIX and boletos in the same place, helping clients to manage their accounts receivables in the same interface. For SMBs, we launched settlement from different acquirers into PagBank account, approval profile, bank account for multiple users and payroll platform to manage salary transfers up to 2,000, everything fully embedded into our ecosystem, available through the app and through the internet banking interface. For consumers, we improved our investment platform, enhanced the credit card journey, and expanded the credit underwriting of payroll loans and FGTS advance. All these initiatives led to a Cash-in (PIX and wire transfers sent to PagBank account) of R$ 217 billion, which combined to TPV in merchant acquiring, led to the all-time high deposits level of R$ 27.6 billion, +33% y/y.
Consequently, Total Revenue got back to a health and positive level before our expectations, posting +10% y/y in the fourth quarter 2023, despite the holiday season which led to slightly lower take rates, wrapping up the year with almost R$ 16 billion. Our commitment to grow efficiently was supported by our funding strategy backed by deposits, our lower losses on the back of our successful initiatives to improve risk assessment and avoid chargebacks and credit losses, and a flattish OpEx, which led to higher margins quarter after quarter, leading net income (non-GAAP) to almost R$ 1.8 billion, being R$ 520 million only in the fourth quarter 2023, +27% y/y.
Our CapEx per Sales continued its downtrend in 2023, marking 12.5% vs. 30% in 2020, concluding an important milestone in our investment cycle, which should reach similar levels in comparison to the depreciation and amortization, unlocking additional operational leverage in our results and better cash earnings moving forward. Consequently, our net cash balance surpassed R$ 11 billion and our Cash + Financial Investments in our balance sheet grew +112% y/y, surpassing R$ 6 billion.
So, as we close the 2023 cycle, I am excited about 2024 and how our developments should continue to disrupt payments and financial services for every client in every region in Brazil. Our growth drivers for 2024 are crystal clear:
Expanding payments penetration in all segments, combining acquiring and banking to reach the optimum balance between growth and profitability.
Fostering growth in the domestic and cross-border online payments, to fully leverage our omnichannel platform capacity.
Increasing the penetration of financial services in our 31 million clients (consumers + merchants) to diversify our revenues streams.
Growing credit underwriting of secured products and our high yield savings accounts to stimulate the consumer segment expansion and diversification.
Solidifying our fraud prevention and risk management capacities to reduce losses while providing seamless secure experiences to our customers.
Once again, we remain focused on pursuing technological disruptions, enhancing our financial ecosystem and portfolio of services and products, to make the financial lives of our clients easier and support the business success of our merchants.
Alexandre Magnani, Chief Executive Officer

Total Finance Volume (TFV), formerly known as PAGS TPV, totaled R$ 280.6 billion, representing an increase of +34.3% vs. 4Q22 due to the growth in both Total Payment Volume and Total Banking Volume.
Total Payment Volume (TPV), formerly known as PagSeguro TPV, totaled R$ 113.7 billion, representing an increase of +20.6% vs. 4Q22 mainly due to the larger share of wallet driven by the cash conversion into electronic payments, maturation of the existing cohorts, and increasing productivity of our sales channels leading to a better performance in all merchants’ segments (micro-merchants, SMBs and large accounts).
Total Banking Volume (TBV), formerly known as PagBank TPV, totaled R$ 166.9 billion, representing an increase of +45.4% vs. 4Q22. This growth is mainly related to the increase in the engagement of our clients with our financial services, such as PIX, bill payments, mobile top-up, cards’ spending and credit underwriting.

Since early 2022, the company has been adopting a more selective go-to-market strategy focusing on clients with better unit economics, higher activation ratio, and higher engagement in financial services rather than just net adds. Additionally, we have been improving our onboarding and risk assessment procedures since early 2023 to reduce chargebacks and losses, which has been positively reflected in the evolution of our gross profit throughout 2023.

The managerial breakdown of Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income differs from Total Revenue and Income amount due to the Float from Financial Services unit, which is an intercompany revenue from Merchant Acquiring funding, not accounted for Total Revenue and Income. Before 1Q23, Float from Checking Accounts Balance was partially booked in Payments. Going forward, 100% of Float will be fully booked in Financial Services, similar to other financial institutions. The main differences will be:
(i)Total Revenue and Income: The mismatch between Total Revenue and Income and the managerial Total Revenue and Income’s breakdown in Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income increase given the intercompany Float will no longer offset a portion of the Financial Expenses. In 4Q23, intercompany Float amounted to R$ 63 million vs. R$ 97 million in 4Q22 and R$ 71 million in 3Q23.
(ii)Payments: No change in revenue except for an increase in Financial Expenses, since the share of such expenses offset by the Float usually booked in Payments will no longer occur. Consequently, Gross Profit and Adj. EBITDA will decrease. In 4Q23, revenue from payments amounted to R$ 4,084 million, representing an increase of +11.8% y/y, mainly driven by TPV growth in all merchants’ segments.
(iii)Financial Services: An increase in Revenue since the Float will lead to a higher interest income. Consequently, Gross Profit and Adj. EBITDA will increase. In 4Q23, revenue from financial services amounted to R$ 253 million decreasing -30.1% y/y, mainly driven by the regulatory change that came into force on April 1, 2023, lowering the caps applicable to prepaid and debit cards, negatively impacting our revenue evolution.

Total Revenue and Income performance is explained below:
(i)Transaction Activities and Other Services in 4Q23 amounted to R$ 2,441 million, representing an increase of +5.9% vs. 4Q22. This performance is mainly due to the TPV growth that was partially offset by the impact of the regulatory change on prepaid/debit cards that came into force on April 1, 2023, and the mix change in credit portfolio towards secured products with lower yields and longer duration in Financial Services.
(ii)Financial Income, which represents the discount fees we withhold from credit card transactions in installments for the early payment of Accounts Payable to Third Parties (merchants), reached R$ 1,833 million, representing an increase of +13.5% vs R$ 1,615 million in 4Q22, mainly due to the TPV growth.
(iii)Other Financial Income reached R$ 73 million in 4Q23, an increase of +68.8% vs. 4Q22, mainly due to the increase in interest accrued on a higher position of Cash & Financial Investments, which was +112%, or R$ 3,275 million, higher than 4Q22.

Total Costs and Expenses, on a non-GAAP basis, amounted to R$ 3,714 million in the 4Q23, representing an increase of +6.7% from R$ 3,482 million in the 4Q22, mainly related to:
Cost of Sales and Services reached R$ 2,240 million in the 4Q23, representing an increase of +13.5% year-over-year, mainly due to the TPV growth, leading to higher interchange and card scheme fees. We also observed a higher POS depreciation and amortization of intangible assets due to past capital expenditures that were deployed to support our growth.
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to LTIP (long-term incentive plan), Cost of Sales and Services, on a GAAP basis, reached R$ 2,244 million, representing an increase of +14.0%, from R$ 1,969 million reported in 4Q22.
Selling Expenses totaled R$ 411 million, representing a decrease of -5.7% from R$ 435 million reported in the same period of 2022, mainly driven by lower losses (chargebacks and provisions for credit losses).
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to LTIP (long-term incentive plan), Selling Expenses reached R$ 412 million, representing a decrease of -5.3%, from R$ 435 million reported in 4Q22.
Administrative Expenses reached R$ 107 million, representing a decrease of -6.5% from R$ 115 million presented in 4Q22, mainly due to seasonal efficiencies captured in the quarter.
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to LTIP Costs and M&A, Administrative Expenses reached R$ 152 million, representing an increase of +32.9%, from R$ 114 million reported in 4Q22, mainly due to a reversal of R$ 42 million, related to lower share-based compensation in 4Q22.
Financial Expenses totaled R$ 841 million in 4Q23, representing a decrease of -1.6% vs. 4Q22, mainly due to a lower average cost of funding led by deposits growth, which posted a strong figure quarter-over-quarter, increasing its relevance in our funding strategy, and lower expenses related to the Brazilian Basic Interest Rate (SELIC) decrease, partially offset by TPV growth in the period.
Other Expenses, net reached R$ 114 million in 4Q23, representing an increase of +10.9% from expenses of R$ 103 million reported in 4Q22. When excluding non-GAAP figures, Other Expenses remained stable as compared to the prior corresponding period, mainly as a result of R$ 11 million of software impairment from acquired companies registered in the 4Q22.
On a GAAP basis, including LTIP, M&A and Other Expenses of R$ 49 million, Total Costs and Expenses amounted to R$ 3,763 million, representing an increase of +7.9% in comparison to the amount of R$ 3,714 million presented in 4Q22.

When including non-GAAP Expenses of R$ 31 million, Personnel Expenses, on a GAAP basis, totaled R$ 300 million, representing an increase of +44.6% vs. 4Q22 due to the lower relevance of the long-term incentive plan given the current shares price level.
Marketing and Advertising totaled R$ 194 million in 4Q23, representing an increase of +8.9% vs. 4Q22, led by the strengthening of our marketing initiatives in the period, focusing on attracting new clients with better unit economics; and
Other Expenses reached R$ 238 million in 4Q23, representing an increase of +22.6% from R$ 194 million reported in 4Q22, mainly driven by software licenses and consulting services. For more information, refer to note 24 on our Form 6-K containing our 4Q23 Financial Statements furnished on the date hereof.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to R$ 975 million in 4Q23, representing an increase of +23.7% vs. 4Q22, led by our gross profit evolution combined to the efficiencies observed in our operating expenses, resulting in higher margins.
Capital Expenditures amounted to R$ 521 million in 4Q23, representing an increase of +37.8% vs. 4Q22, mainly driven by our POS acquisitions and tech investments, along with the fact that our Capital Expenditures for 4Q22 was a particularly low amount of R$ 378 million as compared to prior periods. Despite Capital Expenditures as a percentage of Revenues increasing by +2.4 p.p. vs. 4Q22 to 12.0%, in FY2023 it decreased by -1.9 p.p. from 13.9% to 12.5%.
Cash Earnings amounted to R$ 454 million, representing an increase of +10.7% year-over-year, driven by better operating performance.

Depreciation and Amortization reached R$ 366 million, representing an increase of +19.4%, from R$ 307 million in 4Q22, mainly explained by:
(i)the depreciation of POS devices; and
(ii)the amortization of R&D investments, mainly related to product development and data security. These investments allow us to defer our tax liability through “Lei do Bem” (Technological Innovation Law).
When including non-GAAP Expenses of R$ 17 million, D&A, on a GAAP basis, totaled R$ 349 million, representing an increase of +29.0% vs. 4Q22 due to M&A expenses related to the fair value assets amortization.

In 4Q23, this value amounted to R$ 57 million, representing a decrease of -13.4% year-over-year. In September 2019, we changed our business model from selling POS devices to a subscription model to follow the industry’s best standards and to improve the merchant’s user experience in terms of:
(i)POS delivery for new merchants; and
(ii)POS maintenance and replacement for existing merchants.
At that time, we strategically prepared for the launch of our HUBs strategy to have the best SLAs in the market, providing a superior value proposition to focus not only on pricing (POS, MDR and prepayment) fee itself.
Between 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic changed merchants’ transaction profile into the PAGS ecosystem, adding more complexity to understanding merchants’ engagement and activity levels. Now we have a better understanding of merchants’ activity, and we started to write-off POS devices beginning in the 2Q22.

Effective Tax Rate (ETR) increased by +220 bps to 16.4% in 4Q23 from 14.2% in 4Q22, mainly driven by lower results in FIDC and lower Capital Expenditure deployments in 2023 vs. 2022 due to “Lei do Bem” eligibility. In both periods, the difference between the Effective Income Tax and Social Contribution Rate and the Rate computed by applying the Brazilian federal statutory rate was mainly related to:
(i)Technological Innovation Law (“Lei do Bem”), which reduces income tax charges based on investments made in innovation and technology, such as those made by PagSeguro Brazil, our Brazilian operating subsidiary; and
(ii)Taxation of Income abroad. Certain entities or investment funds adopt different taxation regimes in accordance with the applicable rules in their respective jurisdictions.

Non-GAAP disclosure
This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures. We present non-GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, as the case may be, that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook.
These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered separately from, or as a substitute for, our financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP results consist of our GAAP results as adjusted to exclude the following items:
LTIP Expenses: This consists of expenses for equity awards under our two long-term incentive plans (LTIP and LTIP-Goals). We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business.
M&A Expenses: This consists of expenses for mergers & acquisitions (“M&A”) transactions, including, among others, expenses for external consulting, accounting and legal services in connection with due diligence and negotiating M&A documentation for our acquisitions, as well as amortization and write-downs of the fair value of certain acquired assets. We exclude M&A expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Non-recurring Effects: This consists of one-time effects related to PagPhone sales, PagPhone inventory provisions, tax impairment, software disposals and development. We exclude non-recurring effects from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such items are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Income Tax and Social Contribution on LTIP Expenses, M&A Expenses and Non-Recurring Adjustments: This represents the income tax effect related to the LTIP expenses, M&A expenses and non-recurring adjustments mentioned above.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the tables elsewhere in this press release under the following headings: “Income Tax and Social Contribution Reconciliation,” “Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income Reconciliation,” “Reconciliation of Basic and diluted EPS to non-GAAP Basic and diluted EPS” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to non-GAAP Measures.”
