1.Operations

 

Zenvia Inc. (“Zenvia”) was incorporated in November 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability duly registered with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”). The Company is involved in implementation of a multi-channel communication of a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to integrate several communication capabilities (including short message service, or SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, WebChat and Facebook Messenger) into their software applications and with a combination of the Group Software as a Service (SaaS) portfolio providing clients with unified end-to-end customer experience SaaS platform to digitally interact with their end-consumers in a personalized way.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has negative consolidated working capital in the amount of R$290,145 (current assets of R$294,438 and current liabilities of R$584,583), mainly arising from a reduction in the Company’s cash position as a result of payments made during the years related to business acquisitions, as described in item (b) to (d) below.

 

Zenvia’s Management focused in 2022 to increase gross profit and to take into place cost-cutting initiatives, such as the review of its corporate structure, which reduced the Company’s current workforce by 9% and is in line with the acceleration of the integration of acquisitions. While these actions were instrumental for the Company to deliver improved cash generation in 2023, management is committed to continue pursuing new operational efficiencies for the next 12 months. On top of the improvement in operations, the Company has announced the conclusion of several renegotiations with its creditors, including banks, debenture holders and holders of other liabilities related to past M&A activity. These renegotiations include an extension of payment terms on bank loans and debentures from up to 18 months to 36 months (final maturity December 2026), extension of liabilities related to past M&As from up to 36 months to up to 60 months (final maturity December 2028) and the possibility of converting certain M&A liabilities into Zenvia´s equity (potential conversion estimated at circa 65% of total M&A liabilities). Additionally, the Company announced that Mr Cassio Bobsin, Zenvia´s Founder and CEO, has injected a total of R$50,000 as new equity in the Company. Management believes that the combination of the above mentioned initiatives and the expected future operating cash flow will be enough to cover for the Company's medium and long term financial obligations. Nevertheless, management will continue to seek to optimize the Company's working capital needs by renegotiating payment terms with suppliers and anticipating future revenues with

(In thousands of Reais)

clients. Considering the Company’s short-term financial contractual obligations and commitments after giving effect to the above-mentioned renegotiations and capital injection, management expects a cash outlay of R$76,728 for the next 12 months mainly for its existing short-term indebtedness as it becomes due, including interest, and payments due from acquisitions. The Company believes its working capital and projected cash flows from operations, combined with new sources of financing already under negotiations, will be sufficient for the Company’s requirements for the next twelve months. As a result of these factors, management continues to have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue operations in the foreseeable future.

 

a.     Business combination – Movidesk Ltda. (“Movidesk”)

 

On February 6, 2024, Zenvia Brazil renegotiated the earnout with Movidesk, with a total balance of R$206,699 as of December 31, 2023. Payment terms have been extended to a total of 60 months, with final due date in December 2028, with Zenvia option to convert R$156,805 of total debt into equity, of which R$50,000 can be converted by September 2024, and the remaining balance can be converted in up to 6 installments from January 1, 2026, until the conclusion of the contract period.

 

b.     Correction of error – effect in consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flow

 

In December 2023, the Company identified that the allowance for expected credit losses was understated. The calculation was reassessed in the annual financial statements and Management has retrospectively revised the first quarter of 2023 for comparison purposes.

 

The retrospective changes in the comparative periods can be summarized as follows:

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Reais)

 

The issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements was approved by the Executive Board of Directors on July 13, 2024.

 

a.Measurement basis

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on historical cost, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. See item (d) below for information on the measurement of financial information of subsidiaries located in hyperinflationary economies.

 

b.Functional and presentation currency

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Real (R$), which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The functional currency of the subsidiary Rodati Motors Corporation is the US Dollar. The indirect subsidiaries of the Company have the following functional currencies: Rodati Motors Central de Informações de Veículos Automotores Ltda. has the local currency, Brazilian Real (BRL), as its functional currency; Rodati Services S.A. has the local currency, Argentine Peso (ARG), as its functional currency; and Rodati Servicios, S.A. de CV. has the local currency, Mexican Pesos (MEX), as its functional currency.

 

c.    Foreign currency translation

 

For the consolidated Company subsidiaries in which the functional currency is different from the Brazilian Real, the interim financial statements are translated to Real as of the closing date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss and presented within finance costs.

d.Accounting and reporting in highly hyperinflationary economy

 

In March 2024, considering that the inflation accumulated in the past five years in Argentina was higher than 100%, the adoption of the accounting and reporting standard in the hyperinflationary economy became mandatory in relation to the subsidiary Rodati Services S.A., located in Argentina.

 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities, the equity and the statement of profit or loss of subsidiaries that operate in hyperinflationary economies are adjusted by the change in the general purchasing power of the currency, applying a general price index.

 

The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy based on current cost approach are in terms of the current measurement unit at the balance sheet date and translated into Real at the closing exchange rate for the period. The impacts of changes in general purchasing power were reported as finance costs in the statements of profit or loss of the Company.

 

e.Use of estimates and judgments

 

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

 

(i)Measurement of fair value

 

A series of Company’s accounting policies and disclosures requires the measurement of fair value, for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

 

Evaluation process includes the regular review of significant non-observable data and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as brokerage firms’ quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair value, then the evaluation process analyzes the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the IFRS requirements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable data as much as possible. Fair values are classified at different levels according to hierarchy based on information (inputs) used in valuation techniques, as follows:

Level 1: Prices quoted (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs, except for quoted prices, included in Level 1 which are observable for assets or liabilities, directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs, for assets or liabilities, which are not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the financial statements’ period in which changes occurred.

 

4.New standards, amendments, and interpretations of standards

 

4.1.New currently effective requirement

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1st, 2024. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

The following amended standards and interpretations did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

    Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7;

    Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback;

4.2.Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

 

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

 

• What is meant by a right to defer settlement

• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period

• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right

• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification

 

In addition, a requirement has been introduced whereby an entity must disclose when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months.

 

The Company reviewed our covenants disclosures to comply with the amendment of IAS 1.

Working Capital

 

On January 3, 2024, Zenvia Brazil signed an amendment with Banco Bradesco S.A. for a CCB (Cédula de Crédito Bancário) in the original aggregate amount of R$30,000, current balance R$11,073, establishing a new amortization schedule comprised of 36 installments, six months of grace period and 30 amortization period of principal.

 

On January 4, 2024, Zenvia Brazil entered into an agreement with Itaú Unibanco S.A. for a CCB (Cédula de Crédito Bancário), in the aggregate amount of R$ 12,000, establishing a amortization schedule comprised of 36 installments, six months of grace period and 30 amortization period of principal.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company assessed the covenant clauses of loans and financing for quarterly measurement. The Company renegotiated the covenants to ensure compliance, and no material adjustments were required in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Contractual clauses

 

The Company has financing agreements in the amount of R$49,427 guaranteed by 20% of accounts receivable given as collateral and the balance of financial investment recorded as current assets, representing three times the amount of the first payment of principal plus interest.

 

The Company has a financing agreement with Bradesco in the amount of R$11,205 in which the guarantee is the receipt of credits from Bradesco as a client.

 

The Company, through its subsidiary One to One has entered into a financing agreement for the issuance of debentures guaranteed by: (i) the fiduciary assignment to creditor of receivables equivalent at least, (i) R$4,000 between November 30, 2023 and December 31, 2024; (ii) R$3,000 between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025; and (iii) R$2,000 between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026, which must go through an escrow account controlled by the creditor and, upon confirmation that

the guarantees are in order, are subsequently released to the Company; and (ii) the fiduciary assignment to creditor of 10% of the Company's corporate stock.

 

Covenants

 

In 2023, The Company has renegotiated new terms to be applied as of the year 2024 for the financial covenants of loans and financing. The most restrictive net debt-to-EBITDA financial covenant to which we are currently subject requires that such ratio does not exceed 2.5x and which is measured at the end of each fiscal year. In addition to these, the Company also has other covenants related to indebtedness level. Furthermore, our working capital agreements contain a cross-default provision that may be triggered by a default under one of our other financing agreements. A cross default provision means that a default on one loan would result in a default of our other loans.

 

On March 31, 2024, the Company assessed the covenant clauses of its loans and financings with the aim of mitigating non-compliance with the entirety of the restrictive clauses in its annual measurement. As part of the action plan, the Company renegotiated certain covenant clauses with financial institutions, obtained waivers to ensure compliance and received the necessary consents from these institutions. The Company does not anticipate short- and medium-term impacts on its operations resulting from possible breaches of restrictive clauses.

15.Long-Term Incentive Programs and Management remuneration

 

The Company offers to its executives and employees long-term incentive plans (“ILPs”) based on the issuance of restricted Class A common shares (“RSUs”) and cash-based payments equivalent to RSU.

The accumulated expense recognized reflects the vesting period and the Company’s best estimate of the number of shares to be delivered. The expense of the plans is recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with the function performed by the beneficiary.

On February 6, 2024, the Company issued 8,860,535 Class A common shares to Bobsin Corp due to a private placement investment in the Company, resulting in a capital increase in the amount of R$49,997. Pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement, for a period of 3 years from the closing date of the investment, Bobsin Corp. will be entitled to receive, as a return on its investment, additional cash or an equivalent amount in common shares issued by us, upon the occurrence of certain future liquidity or corporate transaction events (such as the occurrence of an equity follow-on or a transaction resulting in a change of our control) “Trigger Event”. The calculation of such investment returns will be linked to the appreciation of our share price over this period of time.

 

The return on investment (premium) to be paid upon the occurrence of a liquidity event is based on the value of the Company's shares. According to IFRS 9, this premium meets the characteristics of an embedded derivative in the investment agreement. At initial recognition, the derivative is measured at fair value, separate from the investment value, and recognized as a derivative financial liability without impacting the profit or loss. In subsequent measurements, any changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in profit or loss.

21.Earnings per share

 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing loss of the period by the weighted average number of common shares existing during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income for the period by weighted average number of common shares existing during the period plus weighted average number of common shares that would be issued upon conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares into common shares.

 

For the three months period March 31, 2024 and 2023, the number of shares used to calculate the diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to common shareholders is the same as the number of shares used to calculate the basic net loss per share of common stock attributable to common shareholders for the period presented because potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation. The tables below show data of loss and shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

22.1.1.       Level 3 measurement

 

The fair value of returns from private placement investments is determined using unobservable inputs, therefore it is classified at the level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The main assumptions used in the measurement of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments of measurement and the sensitivity analysis are presented below.

 

Type Valuation technique   Significant unobservable inputs   Inter-relationship between significant unobservable and fair value measurement
Derivative financial instruments (see note 16) Black-Scholes model.: The valuation model considered inputs  including volatility of the share price, time to expiration,  risk-free interest rate  

The observable inputs are historical volatility for the shares’ historical prices does not represent current market participants' expectations about the future volatility.

 

 

 

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:

The volatility of the Company's market cap or the occurrence of a trigger event within 36 months of the investment contract's closing date.

 

Sensitivity Analysis of Fair Value Measurements:

22.2.Financial risk management

 

The main financial risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed when conducting their activities are:

 

(a)Credit risk

It results from any difficulty in collecting the amounts of services provided to the customers. The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk from their interest earning bank deposits. The credit risk related to the provision of services is minimized by a strict control of the customer base and active delinquency management by means of clear policies regarding the concession of services. There is no concentration of transactions with customers and the default level is historically very low. In connection with credit risk relating to financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiaries seek to diversify such exposure among financial institutions.

 

Credit risk exposure

 

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum credit risk exposure on financial information date was:

 

  March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents   71,525 63,742
Restricted cash   6,578 6,403
Trade accounts receivable   171,905 148,784
Total   250,008 218,929

 

The Company determines its allowance for expected credit losses by applying a loss rate calculated on historical effective losses on sales.

 

Additionally, the Company considers that accounts receivable had a significant increase in credit risk and provides for:

 

       All notes receivable past due for more than 180 days;

       Notes subject to additional credit analysis presenting indicators of significant risks of default based on ongoing renegotiations, failure indicators or judicial recovery ongoing processes and customers with relevant evidence of cash deteriorating situation.

(b)Market Risk

 

Interest rate and inflation risk: Interest rate risk arises from the portion of debt and interest earning bank deposits remunerated at CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate) rate, which may adversely affect the financial income or expenses in the event an unfavorable change in interest and inflation rates takes place.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

The liquidity risk consists of the risk of the Company not having sufficient funds to settle its financial liabilities. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ cash flow and liquidity control are closely monitored by Company’s Management, so as to ensure that cash operating generation and previous fund raising, as necessary, are sufficient to maintain the payment schedule, thus not generating liquidity risk for the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

We are committed to and have been taking all the necessary actions that we consider necessary to enable the Company to obtain the funding to ensure it will continue its regular operations in the next twelve months, including raising new credit lines and/or issuing new equity, among other alternatives.

 

We present below the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including payment of estimated interest.

 

Non-derivative financial liabilities Book value Contractual cash flow Up to 12 months 1–2 years 2–3 years > 3 years
