Opinion on the financial statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vinci Partners Investments Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the US federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1Operations

 

Vinci Partners Investments Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (referred to herein as "Entity", "Group" or "Vinci"). The Group started its activities in September 2009. Its objective is to hold investments in the capital of other companies as partner (shareholder). The investees are specialized in rendering alternative investment management, asset allocation and financial advisory services. The actual shareholders of the Entity are disclosed in Note 14.

 

The registered office of the Entity is at Harneys Fiduciary (Cayman) Limited, 4th Floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, P.O. Box 10240, Grand Cayman KY1-1002, Cayman Islands.

 

Corporate reorganization

 

Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, on January 15, 2021, the individual partners of Vinci Partners Investimentos Ltda. (“Vinci Investimentos”) contributed the entirety of their quotas into the Entity.

 

In return for this contribution the Entity issued (1) new Class B common shares to Gilberto Sayão da Silva and (2) new Class A common shares to all other shareholders of Vinci Investimentos in exchange for the quotas of Vinci Investimentos contributed to the Entity, or the Contribution, exchanging 1 quota into 4.77 common shares. Until the Contribution, the Entity did not commence operations and had only nominal assets and liabilities and no material contingent liabilities or commitments.

 

Initial Public Offering (IPO)

 

On January 28, 2021, Vinci announced the price of its public offering of the Class A common shares being offered 13,873,474 Class A common shares. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common shares. The initial public offering price per Class A common share was US$18.00.

 

The Class A common shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol "VINP." Vinci has two classes of common shares: Class A common shares and Class B common shares.

 

Class B common shares carry rights that are identical to the Class A common shares, except that (1) holders of Class B common shares are entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas holders of our Class A common shares are entitled to one vote per share; (2) holders of Class B common shares may convert Class B common shares at any time into Class A common shares on a share-for-share basis; (3) holders of Class B common shares are entitled to preemptive rights in the event that additional Class A common shares are issued in order to maintain their proportional ownership interest; and (4) Class B common shares shall not be listed on any stock exchange and will not be publicly traded.

 

On February 1, 2021, Vinci announced the closing of its initial public offering. The net proceeds from the offering were US$ 232 million (R$ 1,266,926), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The Class A common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 28, 2021, under the ticker symbol "VINP."

 

In connection with the offering, Vinci has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,081,021 Class A common shares at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 8, 2021, Vinci received net proceeds of US$ 23 million (R$ 125,448) in respect of the additional 1,398,014 Class A common shares issued.

 

Vinci Partners Ltd used the net proceeds from the offering to fund investments in its own products alongside its investors. The Entity continues to pursue opportunities for strategic transactions and for other general corporate purposes.

Impacts of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)

 

Since January 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus has impacted global commercial activities. The rapid development of the pandemic generated significant uncertainty of the real consequences of an ultimate impact. During the period there was a continued adverse effect on economic and market conditions that triggered a period of global economic slowdown.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and government measures taken in response thereto have caused disruptions in some of our funds' portfolio companies' businesses and could lead to long-term disruptions or closures. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused work stoppages because of illness or travel or government restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

 

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the temporary or permanent closure of many businesses and has required adjustments in how many businesses operate. For example, certain funds in our real estate segment were adversely impacted as a result of shopping mall closures in Brazil for some months during the pandemic. In addition, there is uncertainty surrounding real estate funds with concentrated investments in office space as the real estate market adjusts to shifts in office space demand in response to changes in economic activity and remote working arrangements. These factors have adversely impacted certain companies in our investment portfolio and severely disrupted operations and economic conditions generally. Finally, significant market fluctuations driven by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in fluctuations in the fair value component of our Assets Under Management and could result in additional fluctuations in our Assets Under Management depending on the severity and extent of the ongoing crisis. However, despite the adverse impact, Vinci expanded its operations during the pandemic and had increased its total assets, net revenue, profits and did not record any impairment in 2021 and 2020 as result of COVID-19.

 

Additionally, the Group completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in January 2021. Despite the ultimate extent of the impact of COVID-19, including the outbreak of more transmissible variants as has occurred in Brazil in 2021 and 2020, Vinci has increased its asset under management.

 

Brazil is at an advanced stage of vaccination, which generates security that new waves of contagion have a smaller impact on the economy, as observed recently with Omicron.

 

Even sectors such as services and commerce, which were more sensitive to waves in the past, have shown resilience in subsequent waves. In fact, retail is already above the pre-pandemic level, as is most of the service sector.

 

2Summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.1Basis of preparation and presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the financial instruments assets that have been measured at fair value.

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (“R$”), and all amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

All amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated balance sheet respectively.

 

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in another reserve within equity attributable to owners of Entity.

 

When the Group ceases to consolidate an investment or account for it under equity method because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

 

2.2Segment reporting

 

During January 2021, the members of the Board of Directors of Vinci Partners Investments Ltd were appointed. Under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the CEO is responsible for the decision-making process related to executive themes, resources allocation and strategic decisions of Vinci.

 

Until December 31, 2020, the strategic decisions of Group comprised eight distinct business segments: (i) hedge funds; (ii) public equities; (iii) private equity; (iv) financial advisory services, (v) Investment products and solutions; (vi) real estate; (vii) infrastructure and (viii) Credit (Note 20).

 

Since 2021 the decision-making process and decision related to resources allocation changed and part of the segments were grouped in four different segments: (i) Private market strategies (Private equity, Real Estate, Infrastructure and Credit funds), (ii) Liquid strategies (Public Equities and Hedge Funds), (iii) Investment products and solutions; and (iv) Financial advisory (Note 20).

 

The change was motivated by the way how the CEO monitors and manages the business, as well as the way how the shareholders and investors evaluate Vinci’s investment vehicles, to present financial and strategic information in a more cohesive manner.

 

Strategies were sorted out within business segments following technical and strategic similarities among funds’ attributes, such as management and performance fee structures, liquidity constraints, targeted returns and investor profile.

 

2.3Foreign currency translation

 

Functional and presentation currency

 

F-11

 

Vinci Partners Investments Ltd.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

All amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in thousands of Brazilian reais, which is the Entity's functional currency and also its presentation currency. All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units unless otherwise stated.

 

Transactions and balances

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates, are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Group companies

 

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

·assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

·income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

·all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

2.4Cash and cash equivalents

 

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, bank deposits held with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

2.5Financial assets

 

(i) Classification

 

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

 

∙ those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and

 

∙ those to be measured at amortized cost.

 

The classification depends on the Entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

 

F-12

 

Vinci Partners Investments Ltd.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

All amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

 

(ii) Recognition and derecognition

 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

 

(iii) Measurement

 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

 

(iv) Impairment

 

The group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For accounts receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

 

2.6Accounts receivables

 

Receivables are amounts due for financial advisory services and for investment fund management services rendered in the ordinary course of Group's business. Except for unrealized performance fee, collection is expected in less than one year; therefore, they are classified as current assets.

 

Accounts receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for expected credit losses. See note 5 for further information about the Group's accounting for accounts receivables.

 

The Group use a provision matrix to calculate expected credit losses, for accounts receivables When applicable, the Group calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and expected credit losses is a significant estimate. The amount of expected credit losses is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. Our historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer's actual default in the future. The information about the expected credit losses on our accounts receivables and contract assets is disclosed in note 5.

2.7Intangible assets

 

Computer software

 

Computer software licenses purchased are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years.

 

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.

 

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

 

It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use.

 

Management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it.

 

There is an ability to use or sell the software product.

 

It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits.

 

Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available.

 

The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

 

Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of applicable overheads.

 

Capitalized development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortized from the point at which the asset is ready for use. Refer to note 9 for details about amortization methods and periods used by the Group for intangible assets.

 

Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred.

 

Development costs previously recorded as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.

 

Intangible assets with definite life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 management do not identify any event that could impact the recoverable value of the intangible assets.

 

2.8Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less depreciation calculated on the straight-line method, based on the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, using the following annual rates: furniture and fixtures, telephony equipment and facilities have a useful life of 10 years; IT equipment has a useful life 5 years.

 

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

All amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

 

2.9Leases

 

The Group leases various offices. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 5 years to 10 years but may have extension options.

 

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property leases across the Group. These are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group's operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.

 

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

 

The following factors are normally the most relevant:

 

-If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).

-If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Group is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).

-Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.

 

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the Group is a lessee, it has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

 

2.10Trade payables

 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

2.11Provisions

 

Provisions for legal claims are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.12Profit-sharing and bonus plans

 

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company's shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. The provision is recognized in labor and social security obligations and the related expense in general and administrative expense.

 

2.13Income taxes

 

The income tax and social contribution expenses for the year comprise current taxes. Taxes on income are recognized in the statement of income.

 

The current income tax and social contribution are calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted by the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken by the Entity in income tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

 

The Entity recognizes liabilities for situations where it is probable that additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

 

As permitted by tax legislation, certain of the Entity's investees opted for the deemed profit regime, according to which the income tax calculation basis is 32% of revenues from service rendering and 100% of finance income, on which regular rates of 15% are levied, plus an additional 10% for income tax over a certain limit and 9% for social contribution. The Entity opted for the actual taxable profit regime. The entities that opted for the deemed profit regime evaluates their

income tax and social contribution expenses based on the services revenue and realized investment income recognized on monthly basis.

 

2.14Capital

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

 

Dividends

 

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

 

Earnings per share

 

(i) Basic earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

 

• the profit attributable to owners of the Entity;

• by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

 

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

 

• the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and;

• the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

 

2.15Revenue recognition

 

Accordingly to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for financial advisory and investment fund management services rendered in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts.

 

Management fees and performance fees are accounted for as contracts with customers. Under the guidance for contracts with customers, an Entity is required to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. See Note 20 "Segment Reporting" for a disaggregated presentation of revenues from contracts with customers, as follows:

 

(a)Management fees

 

Management fees are recognized in the period when the corresponding services are rendered, which generally consist of a percentage on the net asset value of each investment fund being managed. These customer contracts require Vinci to

 

F-17

 

Vinci Partners Investments Ltd.

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

All amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

provide investment management services, which represents a performance obligation that the Group satisfies over time. Management fee percentages currently range between 0.05% and 2.93%.

 

(b)Performance fees

 

Brazilian regulation set forth certain minimum criteria for the performance fee structures of fund managed by Vinci, as described below:

 

•     Performance fee must be assessed based on a verifiable index, the benchmark, obtained from an independent source, and compatible with the corresponding fund investment policy.

 

•     Performance fee may not be calculated at a percentage lower than 100.0% of the index.

 

•     The performance fee cannot be charged in a period less than 6 months (except for private asset funds).

 

•     The performance fee shall be calculated based on net asset value, including management fees and all other expenses and may consider any distribution for shareholders in the calculation.

 

As a multi-asset-class asset management firm, Vinci manage a number of funds with different performance fee structures that may be classified in three main categories: (1) liquid funds, (2) closed-ended funds focused on value generation, and (3) closed-ended funds focused on income generation.

 

For liquid funds such as equity funds, credit funds and hedge funds, we charge performance fees usually every semester based on the performance of the fund above the benchmark or when the customer makes a redemption and a performance fee is due. For hedge funds and credit funds, performance fees are generally benchmarked to the Interbank Deposit Certificate index, or CDI, and for inflation-indexed funds, performance fees are generally indexed to the Amplified Consumer Price Index, or IPCA, plus a fixed real interest rate or a market index such as the Market Index Sub-Index B from the Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association, or IMA-B. For equity funds, the benchmark varies according to the strategy. For our "long only" and "long-biased" strategies, performance fees are assessed mainly to the IBOVESPA index. Other funds and strategies can be addressed to other index, as for example, IDIV index, SMLL index and Brazil ETF Index.

 

For closed-ended funds focused on value generation, such as the private equity and infrastructure funds, we follow a European-style waterfall structure and the threshold and carry is different between the Brazilian funds and the foreign investor funds. For the Brazilian funds we use a threshold of IPCA plus 8% and a carried interest over capital invested plus the return of IPCA. For the foreign investor funds, the threshold is an 8% return in U.S. dollars and the carried interest is on excess return over the capital contribution.

 

For the closed-ended funds focused on income such as real estate funds, we charge a performance fee every semester over the excess return between the amount distributed to investors and the benchmark of the relevant fund, which can vary according to the fund strategy.

 

The performance revenue is determined and recorded at the end of the reporting period and are not subject to clawback once paid.

 

The Entity recognizes the performance revenue according to IFRS 15. Unrealized performance fees are recognized only when is highly probable that the revenue will not be reversed in the income statement.

 

(c)Financial advisory services

 

Financial advisory fees are related to the service provided by the Group on the support of mergers and acquisitions transactions. Substantially, the fees are recognized when the transaction is concluded, based on success fees.

3Accounting estimates and judgments

 

The Entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The main estimations and assumptions made by the Entity comprises the allowance of expected credit losses of accounts receivable, provision for profit sharing, consolidation of subsidiaries, and the fair value measurement of financial assets.

 

4Financial risk management

 

The main risks related to the financial instruments are credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk, as defined below: The management of such risks involves various levels in the Entity and comprehends a number of policies and strategies. The Group's risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to mitigate potential adverse impacts on the Group's financial performance.

 

4.1Financial risk factors

 

This note explains the Group's exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Group's future financial performance. Current year profit and loss information has been included where relevant to add further context.

 

The Group's risk management is predominantly controlled by a risk assessment department under process and controls approved by the management. The management provides written process and controls for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

 

(a)Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, contractual cash flows of debt investments carried at amortized cost, at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables.

 

(i) Risk management

 

Vinci's treasury manages credit risk on a group basis. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020 the expected credit losses are considered immaterial due to the short maturities of the deposits and the credit quality of the counterparty, which have a credit rating AAA evaluated by Fitch Ratings. The Entity has not suffered any losses from cash and cash equivalents since inception. Vinci's treasury review expected credit losses on a regular basis.

 

(ii) Impairment of financial assets

 

The Group has the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:

 

> accounts receivable

> debt investments carried at amortized cost

 

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

(ii) interest rate risk

 

The Group's profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest income from cash equivalents and fixed income funds as a result of changes in interest rates.

 

(iii) Price risk

 

The Group's exposure to investment securities price risk arises from investments held by the group and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss (note 5).

 

To manage its price risk arising from investments in investment securities, the group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

 

The majority of the Group's financial investments, that are exposed to significantly price risk are the private equity investments. Note 5(d) demonstrate the sensitivity analyses of impact for the assets held by the Group.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Group held bank deposits and certificate of deposits of R$ 102,569 (12/31/2020 – R$ 83,449) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

(d)Sensitivity analysis

 

The Group monitors and evaluates the market risk related to its financial investments portfolio periodically to assess its volatility, through changes that can significantly impact its financial results. Considering a period of one day and the historical results over the past year, the following Value at Risk (VAR) parameters were used:

 

0.16% (or R$ 2.26 million) of the financial investment portfolio for a confidence interval of 95%

0.23% (or R$ 3.31 million) of the financial investment portfolio for a confidence interval of 99%

 

Additionally, the Group evaluated the financial investment portfolio on December 31, 2021, through stress scenarios according to the main risk factors related to its investments, as presented in the table below:

 

Risk Factor Variation in Stress Scenario (*) Financial Impact (**)
Current inflation inflation index  -100bps    15.3  
Exchange traded real estate funds Share prices  -10%   (10.9)
Brazilian stock prices Share prices  -10%   (7.4)
Fixed-rate offshore rates US yield curve  -100bps   (7.7)
Foreign exchange rate Foreign exchange rates  10% (***)    5.0  
Domestic base overnight rate Domestic base overnight rate  -100bps   (8.0)

(*) bps - basis point (1bps = 0,01%)

(**) In millions of Brazilian reais

(***) Brazilian reais devaluation against US Dollars

 

An equal change in the opposite direction of the stress scenario would have affected the financial investment portfolio by a similar amount, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

5Financial instruments

 

This note provides information about the group's financial instruments, including:

 

- an overview of all financial instruments held by the Group

- specific information about each type of financial instrument 

- accounting policies

- information about determining the fair value of the instruments, including judgements and estimation uncertainty involved.

 

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

 

those measured at fair value or through profit or loss, and

those measured at amortized cost.

 

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss.

 

Recognition and derecognition

 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date, being the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

 

Measurement

 

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

 

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

 

Financial assets  Section  12/31/2021  12/31/2020
          
Accounts receivable  (a)   63,684    75,523 
Other financial assets at amortized cost  (b)   638    474 
Cash and cash equivalents  (d)   102,569    83,449 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)  (c)   1,381,519    39,849 
       1,548,410    199,295 
              
Financial liabilities             
              
Liabilities at amortized cost  (e)   117,807    167,591 
Lease liabilities  (e)   85,544    106,199 
       203,351    273,790 

 

The Group's exposure to risks associated with the financial instruments is discussed in note 4. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets mentioned above.

a)Accounts receivable

 

Current assets

  12/31/2021  12/31/2020
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers   44,486    48,127 
Loss allowance   (170)   (149)
           
Non-current assets          
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers   19,368    27,545 
    63,684    75,523 

 

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional and are not submitted to any financial components. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost, less loss allowance.

 

Current accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and are therefore all classified as current. Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

 

Non-current accounts receivable are unrealized performance fees that management, with accumulated experience, estimate that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

 

The Entity use a provision matrix to calculate expected credit losses and the exposure to credit risk from receivables are reviewed on a regular basis. Accounts receivable allowance for expected credit losses are presented in general and administrative expense.

 

The loss allowances for accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 reconcile to the opening loss allowances as follows:

 

   12/31/2021  12/31/2020
Opening loss allowance on January 1   (149)   (90)
Increase in accounts receivable allowance recognized in profit or loss   (21)   (59)
Closing loss allowance on December 31   (170)   (149)

 

Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual payments. The Entity have not written any amount of accounts receivable during 2021 and 2020. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

 

b)Other financial assets at amortized cost

 

Financial assets at amortized cost include the following debt instruments:

 

   12/31/2021  12/31/2020
       
Prepayments to employees (Note 6 (i))   638    474 

 

These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the group. Interest is charged at commercial rates and collateral is not normally obtained.

All the financial assets at amortized cost are denominated in Brazilian currency units. As a result, there is no exposure to foreign currency risk. There is also no exposure to price risk as the investments will be held to maturity.

 

See note 6 for more details.

 

c)Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

 

The group classifies the following financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL):

 

-Mutual funds;

-Private markets funds.

 

Financial assets measured at FVPL include the following categories:

 

   12/31/2021  12/31/2020

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded real estate funds) 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 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.

 

Vinci Monalisa is a financial instrument classified as level 2. Its portfolio is comprised of items that could be classified as level 1, level 2 and level 3, in the amount of R$ 57,006, R$ 1,080,108 and R$ 96,714, respectively.

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

 

(b)Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

 

- the use of quoted market prices

 

- for level 3 financial instruments – discounted cash flow analysis.

 

All non-listed assets fair value estimates are included in level 2, except for private equity funds, where the fair values have been determined based on fair value appraisals for fund's investments, performed by the fund's management or a third party hired by the Administration. The most part of the level 3 financial instruments evaluation uses discount cash flows techniques to evaluate the fair value of the Fund's investments. The appraisals performed by a third party are reviewed by Vinci or its subsidiaries (fund's management).

 

(c)Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)

 

The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

9Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include expenditures with the development of the software product for Risk System and Portfolio Allocation, whose purpose is to evaluate the risk of the funds and to allocate the clients' portfolio.

 

Economic benefits will flow to the Group from the service fees charged to the clients for the sale of advisory services on market risks or through a service which the Vinci's managers named Wealth Management.

 

The Entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an intangible asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Entity estimates the asset's recoverable amount. There were no indications of impairment of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Vinci and its direct subsidiaries did not have any rent concessions or modifications on their lease contracts as a direct consequence of the Covid-19. Therefore, the amendment to IFRS 16 issued by The International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) does not apply to the Entity.

 

Deductions to the right-of-use assets until December 31, 2021 were R$ 11,555 (additions of R$ 9,740 during 2020 financial year).

(ii)Amount recorded in the statement of profit or loss

 

The statement of profit or loss shows the following amounts relating to leases:

 

   2021  2020  2019
          
Right of use assets depreciation   (9,812)   (8,586)   (10,521)
Financial expense   (12,281)   (12,209)   (11,980)
    (22,093)   (20,795)   (22,501)

 

The total cash outflow for leases in 2021 was R$ 21,790 (R$ 20,141 in 2020 and R$ 19,027 in 2019).

 

(iii)The Group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for

 

The Group leases various offices. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 5 years to 10 years, but may have extension options as described in (iv) below.

 

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.

 

For all periods presented, the sub-leases were classified as finance leases on a lessor perspective. Therefore, the Group account the sub-leases on a lease-by-lease basis, subtracting the right of use assets and recognizing a receivable related to the present value of the receivables of the sub-lease.

 

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

 

- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date 

- amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees

- the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and 

- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option.

 

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

All amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:

 

- where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received

- uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases, which does not have recent third party financing, and 

- make adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

 

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

 

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 

- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received 

- any initial direct costs, and

- restoration costs.

 

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

 

(iv)Extension and termination options

 

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group. These are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the group’s operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
