Comments on the 4Q22 financial performance


The net revenue was R$611.8 million in 4Q22, an increase of 33.9% compared to 4Q21, or a 41.5% net revenue growth at constant currency. In 4Q22, we added 31 new clients to our portfolio with annual revenue above R$1.0 million in the last twelve months, increasing our client base from 147 in 3Q22 to 178 in 4Q22. The net revenue grew in all regions and industry verticals that we operate compared to the same period last year.





The cost of services provided in 4Q22 reached R$391.1 million, an increase of 32.7% in relation to 4Q21, and the gross profit was R$220.7 million. The Adjusted Gross Profit in 4Q22 was R$234.4 million, 36.0% higher than in 4Q21. The Adjusted Gross Profit margin was 38.3%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points compared to 4Q21, due to better pricing, despite the lower gross margins from the acquired companies.


In 4Q22, selling, general and administrative (SG&A), and other operating expenses were R$134.2 million, 61.3% higher when compared to 4Q21, mainly due to (i) an increase in personnel expenses, as a result of new hirings in the back-office areas; and (ii) acquisition-related expenses, such as retention packages,  fair value adjustments on account payable for business combination, and amortization of intangible assets from the acquired companies.

 

In 4Q22, the Adjusted EBITDA was R$127.4 million, an increase of 25.1% compared to 4Q21. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.8% in the quarter, a reduction of 1.5 percentage point compared to 4Q21, mainly due to higher SG&A expenses. Sequentially, the Adjusted EBITDA margin improved from 19.2% in 3Q22 to 20.8% in 4Q22, due to better utilization rate and lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue.

 

In 4Q22, net financial expenses were R$31.9 million, an increase of R$23.8 million,  compared to 4Q21, mainly as a result of a net foreign exchange loss of R$15.8 million in 4Q22, compared to a net foreign exchange gain of R$9.2 million in 4Q21.

 

In 4Q22, income tax expense was R$24.5 million, a reduction of 9% in relation to 4Q21. Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$27.4 million in 4Q22, an increase of 50.2% or R$9.1 million compared to 4Q21, due to the amortization from intangible assets from acquired companies in the amount of R$13.8 million. In 4Q22, management reduced its real state property leases based on the successful work-from-anywhere approach, which will contribute to lower leases expenses going forward.

 

In 4Q22, the net profit was R$30.1 million, compared to a net profit of R$43.8 million in 4Q21. Adjusted Net Profit was R$54.5 million, 4.3% higher than 4Q21. The Adjusted Net Profit margin reduced from 11.4% in 4Q21 to 8.9% in 4Q22, mainly due to an increase in SG&A expenses and the foreign exchange variation in the comparable period, as detailed above.

 

Comments on the 2022 financial performance


The net revenue in 2022 was R$2,187.7 million, an increase of 51.5% compared to 2021. The contribution from the companies acquired in 2022 was 15 percentage points to the revenue growth. The negative foreign currency translation impact was 6.4% in the period and the net revenue growth at constant currency was 57.9%.





During 2022, CI&T added 84 new clients with annual revenue above R$1.0 million to our portfolio, demonstrating CI&T's capability to onboard new clients and the resilience in the demand for digital services. 


The cost of services provided in 2022 reached R$1,425.2 million, an increase of 52.3% in relation to 2021, and the gross profit was R$762.5 million. The Adjusted Gross Profit in 2022 was R$807.7 million, 48.9% higher than in 2021. The Adjusted Gross Profit margin was 36.9%, a slight decrease compared to 37.6%  in 2021, mainly due to lower margins from the acquired companies.


In 2022, selling, general and administrative (SG&A), and other operating expenses were R$488.6 million, an increase of 85.0% when compared to 2021, mainly due to (i) the strengthening of our back-office teams as a publicly-listed Company, and (ii) acquisition-related expenses, such as retention packages, consulting expenses, and amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies.


In 2022, the Adjusted EBITDA was R$417.5 million, an increase of 28.8% compared to 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.1% in the year, a reduction of 3.3 percentage points compared to 2021, mainly explained by the lower gross margin and the increase in SG&A expenses, as detailed above.

 

In 2022, net financial expenses were R$ 73.6 million, 115.1% higher compared to 2021, as a result of an increase in the debt position and higher interest rates.

 

In 2022, depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$94.6 million, an increase of 95.6% or R$46.2 million compared to 2021, of which R$43.1 million are related to the amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies.


In 2022, income tax expense was R$74.4 million, a reduction of 11.9% in relation to 2021. The income tax paid (cash effect) was R$48.3 million in the period, equivalent to a cash tax rate of 24%.


In 2022, the net profit was R$125.9 million, in line with the net profit recorded in 2021. Adjusted Net Profit was R$213.6 million, 30.2% higher than 2021. The Adjusted Net Profit margin was 9.8% in 2022, a reduction of 1.6 percentage points compared to 2021, mainly due to higher SG&A and financial expenses, as detailed above.

 

In 2022, cash generated from operating activities net of taxes were R$112.4 million, which is reduced by a cash outflow of R$59.7 million for the operating activities of the acquiree Somo and other acquisition related expenses. If we exclude these impacts, the cash generated from operating activities net of taxes would have been R$172.1 million in 2022.

 

The cash and cash equivalents position, including financial investments, were R$282.0 million at the end of 2022. Loans and borrowings totaled R$974.2 million in 2022, compared to R$788.7 million in 2021. The incremental debt position was mainly to finance the NTERSOL acquisition.





Business Outlook


We expect our net revenue in the first quarter of 2023 to be at least R$590 million compared to a net revenue of R$492 million in the first quarter of 2022, a 20% growth on a reported basis.

 

For the full year of 2023, we expect net revenue growth in the range of 13% to 17% year-over-year, assuming a constant currency outlook.

 

In addition, we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be at least 19% for the full year of 2023.

 

These expectations are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Basis of accounting and functional currency

CI&T maintains its books and records in Brazilian reais, the presentation currency for its audited consolidated financial statements, and the functional currency of our operations in Brazil. CI&T prepares its audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.



Non-IFRS Financial Measures


We regularly monitor certain financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. These non-IFRS financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Net Profit Margin, Net Revenue at Constant Currency, and Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but not as substitutes for IFRS results. In addition, our calculation of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures are provided as additional information to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our operations’ historical and current financial performance.

CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses, the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments, foreign currency exchange (gains)/losses, and other items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

We calculate Net Revenue at Constant Currency and Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency by translating Net revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into Brazilian reais using the comparable foreign currency exchange average rates from the prior period to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Reported Net Revenue in 2022 considers the FX rate at the end of each month, while Net Revenue at Constant Currency considers the average FX rate for the prior period.

In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, we exclude cost components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were: (i) depreciation and amortization related to costs of services provided; and (ii) stock-based compensation expenses.


In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments were: (i) stock-based compensation expenses; (ii) consulting expenses related to the initial public offering and corporate reorganization; (iii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in the Chinese subsidiary; (iv) non-cash expenses related to the impairment associated with the discontinuation of certain investments made by Dextra on intangible assets related to digital platforms; and (v) acquisition-related expenses, including fair value adjustment on accounts payable for business combination, consulting expenses, and retention package.


In calculating Adjusted Net Profit, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were: (i) consulting expenses related to the initial public offering and corporate reorganization, (ii) non-cash expenses related to the impairment associated with the discontinuation of certain investments made by Dextra on intangible assets related to digital platforms;  and (iii) acquisition-related expenses, including amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, fair value adjustment on accounts payable for business combination, consulting expenses, and retention packages.
