2     Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

a.    Basis for preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in an annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the estimation of income tax (see note 12) and the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD” or “$”), 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

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR).

VTEX

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

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 and are 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 interim condensed consolidated 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 that are set at the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and no retrospective adjustments were made.

3    Business combinations

3.1  Acquisition of Suiteshare

On April 16, 2021, the Group signed a binding share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Suiteshare Tecnologia da Informação Ltda. (“Suiteshare”), a Brazil-based technology company, to strengthen its presence in the nascent conversational commerce segment. The transaction was closed by May 28, 2021.

The Group will work alongside the Suiteshare team, who will remain engaged post transaction, to accelerate growth in conversational commerce. With the acquisition, the Group will be able to offer geolocation based WhatsApp conversation commerce solutions with seamless integration. The Suiteshare solution has shown high conversion rates when offered to the Group's customers, showing the cross-sell potential and the interest of customers in conversational commerce solutions.

Approximately US$1.9 million in cash and US$1.3 million in shares were paid at closing. Additionally, the sellers may be entitled to receive an earnout, depending on the achievement of certain financial targets.

17   Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share are computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive common stock, including options and restricted stock units.

The following table contains the earnings (loss) per share of the Group for the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

The fair value of the stock options granted was calculated based on the Binomial Options Pricing Model taking in consideration the average contract term. The model inputs for options included:

● Strike price - Average price weighted by the quantity granted;

● Target asset price – The trading price closest to the granting date of the options or the trading price derived from an independent valuation report;

● Risk-free interest rate - US Treasury interest rate, pursuant to the contractual term;

● Volatility - According to comparable peer entities listed on the stock exchange.

The weighted average inputs used in the six months period ended June 30, 2021:

● Risk-free interest rate:1.12% (December 31, 2020: 0.93%)

● Volatility: 52.06% (December 31, 2020: 53.24%)

Settled		(193	)		0.48
At June 30, 2021		3,165			4.36

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 months period ended June 30, 2021, there were USD 20,104 of remaining unamortized compensation costs 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 2.36 years. Total unamortized compensation costs will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

(ii) VTEX Brazil contracted a Non-Deliverable Forward (“NDF”) derivative financial instrument designated as hedge of foreign currency debt with a total notional value of USD 4,515 in May 2021, renewing the hedge position that expired in the same month. The hedge contracts have a due date in September 2021. For the six months period ended June 30, 2021, USD 304 of unrealized losses related to changes in the fair value of foreign exchange NDF contracts was recognized.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against the risk of change in the foreign exchange rates. Therefore, they are not speculative. The derivative financial instruments designated in hedge operations are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is executed and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. Changes in the fair value of any of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in the income statement under "net finance income".

For the six months period ended June 30, 2021, the Group had positions in Swap derivative financial instruments designated as hedge of foreign currency debt. The hedge contracts had maturity dates equal to those of the loan raised in foreign currency. The last hedge contract matures in March 2023.

The following amounts were recognized in profit or loss in relation to derivatives:

	Three months ended					Six months ended

This section provides details about the judgments and estimates made for determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

• Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

• Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

• Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments could include the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments:

• for interest rate swaps – the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves;

• for foreign currency forwards – the present value of future cash flows based on the forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date;

• for foreign currency options – option pricing models (e.g. Black-Scholes model), and

• for other financial instruments – discounted cash flow analysis.

The majority of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2, except for a contingent consideration payable (“earn-out”), where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.

Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)

The fair value of the earn-out classified as level 3 is calculated based on the judgment of the Group and the probability of meeting the goals of each acquisition made during the year. The Sale and Purchase agreement of each acquisition is established if the clients of the acquired entities migrate to the Groups platform and reach an agreed amount, the seller will be entitled to an earn-out. As at June 30, 2021, the fair value of the earn-out amounts USD 7,769 (December 31, 2020 - USD 542).

b.    Fair values of other financial instruments (unrecognized)

The group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. As at June 30, 2021, for these instruments, the fair values are not different to 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, 2021:

19.2 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, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

When all relevant criteria is met, hedge accounting will be applied to remove the accounting mismatch between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This will effectively result in recognizing interest expense at a fixed interest rate for the hedged floating rate loans and inventory at the fixed foreign currency rate for the hedged purchases.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, available in the F1/A filing.

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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 included elsewhere in this document. .

Overview

VTEX provides a software-as-a-service digital commerce platform for enterprise brands and retailers. Our platform enables our customers to execute their commerce strategy, including building online stores, integrating and managing orders across channels, and creating marketplaces to sell products from third-party vendors. Founded in Brazil, we have been a leader in accelerating the digital commerce transformation in Latin America and are expanding globally. Our platform is engineered to enterprise-level standards and functionality with approximately 80% of our GMV coming from large, blue-chip companies (i.e. customers with more than US$10 million of GMV per year). As of December 31, 2020, we were trusted by more than 2,000 customers with over 2,500 active online stores across 32 countries to connect with their consumers in a meaningful way.

We benefit from the acceleration of digitalization globally, and in particular in Latin America, the fastest-growing region in the world in 2020, 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 in order 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. VTEX was named as leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide B2C Digital Commerce Platforms 2020 Vendor Assessment, and Gartner named us as a Visionary in its 2020 report, Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce, Worldwide.

We offer access to our platform on a subscription basis, which accounted for 96.1% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 94.7% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020. 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 months ended June 30, 2021, our GMV increased to US$2.4 billion from US$1.9 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2020 representing an increase of 30.4% in USD and 25.4% on an FX neutral basis. In the same period, our revenue increased to US$30.9 million from US$25.3 million, representing an increase of 22.1% in USD and 18.2% 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 unaudited quarterly consolidated profit (loss) statement data for each of the last historical eight quarters. The unaudited consolidated profit (loss) statement data below has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and, in our opinion, reflects all necessary adjustments, consisting only of ordinary course recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly and accurately present this information. These historical quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any future period. In particular, since the second quarter of 2020we were positively affected by the ecommerce surge as a consequence of lockdowns during the COVID-19 Pandemic. See below “—Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic.”.

We believe that the strong sector tailwinds will continue to drive our growth and overall ecommerce growth rates in the region, despite the potential near-term year-over-year trends.We expect seasonal patterns to remain the same as in prior years and expect that our revenue will grow sequentially for the remaining quarters in 2021.

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ecommerce market experienced a surge in growth. Governments encouraged consumers to stay at home for extended periods of time, and retail purchases shifted from offline and brick-and-mortar purchases to online ecommerce, as companies accelerated the digitalization of their businesses. Consequently, ecommerce sales in our major markets have increased significantly. Our business responded to the shifting commerce dynamics, enabling our customers to rapidly scale and digitally transform their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our customers' GMV increase has resulted in significant revenue growth for us, driven predominantly by our transaction-based fees.

We expect to continue to benefit from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online penetration and consumer preferences. While we believe that the structural shifts that favor ecommerce will continue as the world recovers from COVID-19, we do not expect to experience the same growth in our business going forward, as we are starting to lap tough comps related to lockdowns in the region and sole focus of brands enterprises on their online channels.  For example, in the year ended December 31, 2019, our revenue increased approximately 43% on an FX neutral basis compared to 2018  – while revenues increased 95.3% on an FX neutral basis in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 revenues increased 18.2% on an FX neutral basis.

Customers with relevant brick-and-mortar retail stores operations may shift back to their physical channels some of the volume that COVID-19 migrated to their online channels. Nevertheless, customers with no relevant brick-and-mortar retail stores may still grow at above the industry average. For VTEX, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, customers with more than US$25 thousand Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) with no relevant brick-and-mortar retail stores operations increased their GMV twice the clip than the ones with relevant brick-and-mortar retail operations.

Components of our results of operations

The following is a summary of the principal line items comprising consolidated profit (loss) statements.

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. In case of early termination of the annual upfront fees, we refund merchants for the remaining term of the contract; 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 3.9% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, services revenue accounted for 4.4% of our revenue, compared to 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

32

Cost of revenue

Our total cost consists of (1) subscription cost; and (2) services cost.

Subscription cost of revenue

Subscription cost consists mainly of costs related to hosting related 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 finance income and finance expenses. Finance income consists of interest earned on bank deposits, foreign exchange gains and other financial income. Finance expense is mostly comprised of foreign exchange losses, losses from fair value of derivative 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 on the basis of 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. Our effective tax rate is mostly impacted by income tax benefits related to research and technological innovation expenses and non-deductible expenses.

VTEX Brazil benefits from tax incentives pursuant to the Lei do Bem aimed at companies that conduct research and development activities. This benefit allows an additional deduction of research and development expenditures ranging between 60% and 80% of the amounts originally spent, thereby reducing the income and social contribution tax base of VTEX Brazil. See “Risk Factors—Loss of, or adverse modifications to, certain tax benefits that we enjoy in Brazil and Argentina could have a negative impact on our operating results and profitability.”

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was US$30.9 million, an increase of US$5.6 million, or 22.1% in US$ or 18.2% on an FX neutral basis, from US$25.3 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in total revenue was primarily driven by: (1) an increase in GMV of 30.4% in US$ or 25.4% on an FX neutral basis to US$2.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from US$1.9 billion in the same period of 2020, which also led to higher revenues from transaction-based fees as percentage of total subscription revenues; (2) an increase in the number of active online stores using our platform during the last twelve months which we believe is mainly attributable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the digitalization plan of enterprises as a result of changing end-consumer purchase behavior (to favor online purchases); and (3) the expansion of our operations outside of Brazil.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was US$56.8 million, an increase of US$14.9 million, or 35.5% in US$ or 41.5% on an FX neutral basis, from US$41.9 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in total revenue was primarily driven by: (1) an increase in GMV of 58.5% in US$ or 64.8% on an FX neutral basis to US$4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from US$2.8 billion in the same period of 2020, which also led to higher revenues from transaction-based fees as percentage of total subscription revenues; (2) an increase in the number of active online stores using our platform during the last twelve months which we believe is mainly attributable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the digitalization plan of enterprises as a result of changing end-consumer purchase behavior (to favor online purchases); and (3) the expansion of our operations outside of Brazil. While we believe that the structural shifts that favor ecommerce will continue as the world recovers from COVID-19, we do not expect to experience the same growth of GMV and revenue going forward.

Finance expense

Finance expense increased by US$2.3 million, or 204.8%, to US$3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from US$1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to fair value losses from derivative financial instruments of US$1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to nil for the three months ended on June 30,2020.

Finance expense increased by US$2.4 million, or 84.6%, to US$5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from US$2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020,  primarily due to an increase in fair value losses from derivative financial instruments to US$ 1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from US$ 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used by operating activities increased by US$17.9 million to US$21.6 million from US$3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of net loss of US$27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net income of  US$0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the expansion of our workforce. This effect was partially offset by:

● working capital adjustments which consisted mainly of: (1) an increase of accounts payable and accrual expenses in the amount of US$9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an increase of US$1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020; (2) a increase in trade receivables of US$6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an increase of US$8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020; and (3) a decrease in other liabilities of US$0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a decrease of US$1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was partially offset by an increase in taxes payable of US$0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an increase of US$2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020; and

● an increase in share-based compensation to US$4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from  US$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020; and (2) a decrease in other costs and foreign exchange, net to an income of US$ 0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from an expense of US$ 2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was partially offset by a decrease in deferred income tax to US$ 3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from US$0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net cash provided (used) by investing activities

Net cash provided (used) by financing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used by financing activities increased by US$10.0 million to US$11 million from US$1million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of (1) an increase in payment of loans and financing to US$9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from US$1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020; and (2) an increase in the buyback of shares in the amount of US$2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from nil for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was partially offset by  capital increases of US$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from nil for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures, consisting of purchase of property and equipment, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to US$0.5 million and US$0.2 million, respectively, representing 1.7% and 0.7% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 our capital expenditures, consisting of purchase of property and equipment, amounted to US$1.1 million and US$0.7 million, respectively, representing 1.9% and 1.8% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

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:

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 main exposure to interest rate risk is related to loans and financing payable subject to variable interest rate, principally the CDI rate. 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.

The following table summarize our financial instruments exposed to an interest rate risk as of June 30, 2021:

Transaction	Interest rate risk	Book value
		(in millions of US$)
Loans and financing	SELIC, CDI and TJLP		(5.0	)
Accounts payable on acquisition of subsidiaries	CDI		(2.6	)

As of June 30, 2021, we are not materially exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates mostly due to the purpose of our investments.

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 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 certain 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 generate revenues and incur most of their expenses in the respective local currencies of the countries in which they operate. As a result, our subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and in the year ended December 31, 2020, 18.2% and 14.0% of our revenues were denominated in, or linked to, U.S. dollars, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our assets were represented by 64.1% and 62.5% in U.S. dollars, and 35.9% and 37.5% in other currencies. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our liabilities, excluding our total shareholders’ equity, were represented by 24.1% and 11.8% in U.S. dollars, and 75.9% and 88.2% 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 intercompany loans, and debt for operational purposes. 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.
