On August 4, 2022, Semantix became a publicly traded company through the merger with Alpha. On the date, Semantix’s ordinary shares and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbols “STIX” and “STIXW”, respectively. The shares offered were registered under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 (Registration No. 333-262552), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2022. After the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the corporate reorganization and subsequently approval of the transaction with Alpha could be made as described above. For more information related to the transaction see note 2.d.

The issuance of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements was authorized by the Board of Directors on November 22, 2022.

Note 2. Basis of preparation and accounting

a) Basis for preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statement

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021; the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021; the changes in equity for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021; and the cash flows for nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (“the financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in an annual consolidated financial statement. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and interim reporting periods, except for the newly added policy adopted below, and the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.

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

b) New accounting policies adopted by the Group

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative warrant liabilities

As part of the capital reorganization (note 2.d below), each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Alpha class A ordinary shares was converted into the right to purchase one Semantix ordinary share, subject to the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion (“Semantix Warrants”).

The Semantix Warrants are classified as financial liabilities, and more specifically as derivatives, which contain features that qualify them as embedded derivatives in accordance with IFRS 9—Financial Instruments. The Group’s derivatives instruments are recorded as financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). As a financial liability, the Group recognizes the Semantix Warrants at fair value and remeasures the warrants to the fair value as at each reporting period, until exercised. The change in the fair value is recognized in the Group’s consolidated statements of profit or loss within Net financial results. The fair value of the Semantix Warrants are measured based on their listed market price. Refer to note 19 for more details.

c) Basis of consolidation

There were no changes since December 31, 2021 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation of the Company’s direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the following items:

The net assets of Alpha primarily consisted of cash and marketable securities held in a trust account and certain public and private warrants. The SPAC merger was approved at an extraordinary general meeting of Semantix Tecnologia and Alpha’s shareholders on August 2, 2022.

i. Listing expense

The SPAC merger was accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with IFRS, with Semantix being the accounting successor and Semantix Tecnologia being the predecessor. Under this method of accounting, Alpha is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. The SPAC merger was not within the scope of IFRS 3 since Alpha did not meet the definition of a business. Therefore, it was accounted for under IFRS 2, as a share-based payment transaction. Accordingly, the Group recorded a one-time non-cash expense of R$213,595. In accordance with IFRS 2, the expense represents the cost incurred in connection with achieving a listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Listing Expense”). The expense is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the Semantix shares issued and the fair value of Alpha’s identifiable net assets received in exchange, as noted below:

 

     Amount  

Deemed cost of shares issued to Alpha shareholders(1)

     309,566  

Plus: Fair value of Alpha Earn-Out Shares(2)

     25,388  
  

 

 

 

Adjusted deemed cost of shares issued to Alpha shareholders

     334,954  

Less: Net assets of Alpha as of August 3, 2022

     119,384  
  

 

 

 

Listing Expense

     215,570  
  

 

 

 

 

1.

Estimated fair value determined based on average quoted market price of $7.09 per share as of August 3, 2022 and foreign exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank of $1.00 to R$5.28. The Company also determined that no separate accounting was necessary with respect to the Semantix Tecnologia Earn-Out Shares as the fair value of the Semantix Tecnologia Earn-Out Shares will be inherently reflected within the quoted price of the Semantix shares, which was used in valuing the fair value of the shares deemed to be issued in exchange for the listing service. Refer to note 11 for more information on shares issued.

2.

The fair value of Alpha Earn-Out Shares (note 2d.ii) was estimated to be $5.75 per share based on Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework, and foreign exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank of $1.00 to R$5.28.

Shareholders’ equity of Semantix Tecnologia prior to the SPAC merger is retrospectively adjusted as a capital restructuring for the equivalent number of shares received and on a pro rata basis for prior reporting periods for the purposes of calculating losses per share. Retained earnings and relevant reserves of Semantix Tecnologia are carried forward after the SPAC merger. Any difference to shareholders’ equity of Semantix Tecnologia arising from the restructuring of share capital and equity instruments issued is recorded in equity under Additional Paid-In Capital.

ii. Earn-out agreements

As part of the SPAC merger, additional consideration in the form of contingent consideration, or earn-outs, of Semantix ordinary shares are applicable for the following shareholders:

 

  1.

Semantix Tecnologia shareholders (the “Semantix Tecnologia Earn-Out Shares”) are entitled to an additional 2,500,000 newly issued Semantix ordinary shares which will be issued in two equal 1,250,000 tranches based on the achievement of post-closing share price targets.

  2.

Former Alpha shareholders (the “Sponsors”) were issued 862,500 of Semantix ordinary shares in exchange for Alpha’s class B ordinary shares (the “Alpha Earn-Out Shares”) upon the closing of the SPAC merger. The Alpha Earn-Out Shares will vest in two equal 431,250 tranches based on the achievement of post-closing share price targets.


Semantix, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022

(In thousands of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

The post-closing share price targets are the same for both earn-out structures above. Each tranche will vest if Semantix ordinary shares meet the targets of $12.50 and $15.00, respectively, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing after August 3, 2022 and ending on or prior to August 3, 2027. Further, a given share price target described above will also be achieved if there is a transaction during the relevant period that results in the Semantix ordinary shares being converted into the right to receive cash or other consideration having a per share value (in the case of any non-cash consideration, as provided in the definitive transaction documents for such transaction, or if not so provided, as determined by Semantix board of directors in good faith) in excess of the applicable post-closing share price target set forth above. In the event of the failure of the satisfaction of the price targets within 5 years period commencing after August 3, 2022, any remaining portion of both earn-out agreements shall be forfeited.

The Semantix Tecnologia Earn-Out Shares and the Alpha Earn-Out Shares should be accounted for as a share-based payment transaction under the scope of IFRS 2 and be considered in the listing expense calculation. Further, both earn-out agreements are classified as equity-settled share-based payment under IFRS 2 and therefore classified as equity instruments as there is no option to be settled in cash.

e) Functional and reporting currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional currency of Semantix is US Dollar (“USD” or “$”). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais (“BRL” or “R$”), as the Group understands that financial statements presented in BRL brings more relevant information to its stakeholders when evaluating the Group’s operation performance. All amounts are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.

f) New standards, interpretations, and amendments adopted by the Group

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the September 30, 2022 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group is still in the process of analyzing the complete impact of such new standards for future periods.

g) 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, revenues, 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 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the newly added sections below, and no retrospective adjustments were made.

Derivative warrant liabilities

Semantix Warrants are recorded as financial liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position and are remeasured on each reporting date. In assessing the fair value of the warrants, the fair value was calculated based on the listed market price of such warrants.

Capital reorganization - Listing Expense

The Listing Expense is calculated as the difference between (i) the fair value of the Semantix shares issued to Alpha shareholders, including the fair value of the Alpha Earn-Out Shares, and (ii) Alpha’s identifiable net assets received in exchange. Although the Listing Expense is an one-time non-cash expense, it includes certain elements of judgement and estimation. Those center around the estimation of (i) the fair value of the Semantix shares, (ii) the Alpha Earn-Out Shares, and (iii) the identifiable net assets of Alpha. Any changes in the applied assumptions may affect the amount of the Listing Expense.

The fair value of Semantix shares was determined based on average quoted market price of such share as of August 3, 2022. Separately, the Company determined that no separate accounting was necessary with respect to the Semantix Tecnologia Earn-Out Shares as the fair value of the Semantix Tecnologia Earn-Out Shares will be inherently reflected within the quoted price of the Semantix Shares, which was used in valuing the fair value of the shares deemed to be issued in exchange for the listing service.

The fair value of Alpha Earn-Out Shares was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework. The model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the volatility of public companies adjusted for same size and leverage, contractual terms, and discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions can significantly affect the estimate of the fair value of the Earn-Out Shares.

Moreover, Alpha’s identifiable net assets primarily consists of cash and marketable securities held in its Trust Account and certain public and private warrants liabilities. Cash and marketable securities held in its Trust Account are recognized at fair value. The fair value of the public and private warrants were calculated based on the listed market price of the warrants.

Note 3. Business Combination

On August 31, 2022, the Group entered into a share purchase agreement with Zetta Health Analytics S.A.’s (“Zetta”) shareholders to acquire 100% of the shares issued by Zetta. Founded in March 2019, Zetta offers a robust variety of SaaS data solutions to enhance data-driven decision-making by healthcare organizations, leveraging client insights to improve care and costs and deepen epidemiological analysis. The Group expects that the acquisition of Zetta will strengthen the Semantix Data Platform (“SDP”) through the addition of a new business vertical to better serve the data needs of clients in the healthcare sector.

The acquisition date fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the purchase price has not been completed by the Group as of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Thus, the figures presented herein are considered to be preliminary.

Purchase Consideration

The total purchase consideration is distributed as follows:

 

Cash transferred at acquisition date

     25,000  

Deferred consideration

     27,500  

Contingent consideration*

     3,248  
  

 

 

 

Total purchase consideration

     55,748  
  

 

 

 

 

*

The Parties agreed a contingent purchase price that amounts to R$7.5 million to be paid on April 1, 2025 if the Company reaches certain metrics related to accumulated gross sales between March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2025. As of the date of acquisition the Group management considered the fair value of the earn-out as approximately 43% of the maximum possible value resulting in a recognition of R$3,248.

The Company has not yet finalized the valuation of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination presented above and, therefore, some of these amounts are preliminary. These amounts may be adjusted when the valuations are finalized.

In addition, the Company incurred direct costs for the business combination which were expensed as incurred.

Revenue and profit contribution

The acquired business contributed revenues of R$693 and net loss of R$1,058 to the Group for the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2022.

If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, consolidated pro-forma revenue and net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 would have been R$172,109 and R$284,501, respectively.

Current tax expense

Corporate income tax and social contribution on net income were calculated in accordance with applicable law. The Group has operations in countries with different tax regimes.

The corporate income tax (“IRPJ”) was calculated at the basic rate of 15% on taxable income plus the additional 10%, according to specific legislation, and the social contribution on profit (“CSLL”) was calculated at the rate of 9% on taxable income. The tax on profit, before tax, differs from the theoretical value that would be obtained with the use of the weighted average tax rate, applicable to the profits of Brazilian companies.

The Group has contingent liabilities related to social security issues resulting from the normal course of the business.

The Group reversed the total amount recorded related to the provision of an onerous contract in the amount of $1.4 million in May 2021, with a third party from an unavoidable cost to acquire licenses which will be due in 2022. The provision was measured by the lowest cost to settle the liability. The Group concluded negotiation with this third party which resulted in the forgiveness of the amount owed and the reversion of the provision.

Note 16. Related parties

Balances and transactions between the Group and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note.

There were no reportable transactions between related parties in the Group and members of the key management personnel and their close family members during the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 17. Losses per share

Basic losses per share is calculated by dividing profit attributable to the Company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares available during the period. Diluted losses per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares, presuming the conversion of all the potential diluted ordinary shares.

For the periods presented, since the Company reported a loss for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share of ordinary shares attributable to ordinary shareholders is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic loss per share of ordinary shares attributable to ordinary shareholders, because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.

Note 19. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

During 2021 and 2022, the Group entered into loans denominated in foreign currency and in order to protect against the risk of change in the foreign exchange rates entered into derivative financial instruments (swap and non deliverable forward “NDF”) with Itau and Citibank (see note 9). Additionally, the Group has warrants classified as derivatives financial instruments (see note 20). Therefore, the derivative financial instruments are not speculative. The Group had a derivative financial asset and derivative financial liability of R$1,996 and R$19,167, respectively, as of September 30, 2022.

The Group has the following derivative financial instruments in the following line items in the consolidated statement of financial position:

Derivative warrant liability

As part of the SPAC merger, each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Alpha class A ordinary shares was converted into the right to purchase one Semantix ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (“Semantix Warrants”), subject to the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion. These warrants are considered financial instruments (derivatives) and are recorded at fair value through profit or loss.


Semantix, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022

(In thousands of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Upon the completion of the SPAC merger, there are 18,499,984 Semantix Warrants outstanding, of which 11,499,984 are public warrants (“Public Warrants”) listed on NASDAQ and 7,000,000 are private placement warrants held by certain former Alpha shareholders (“Private Placement Warrants”).

Public Warrants

The Public Warrants became exercisable on September 2, 2022 and will expire on the earlier of August 3, 2027 or upon redemption or liquidation, in accordance with their terms. The fair value of the Public Warrants was determined using the market trading price as at September 30, 2022, which was R$5.41 per share.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants in all material respects, except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by certain former Alpha shareholders or its permitted transferees:

 

  i.

will not be redeemable by the Company,

 

  ii.

may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until September 2, 2022,

 

  iii.

may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and

 

  iv.

will be entitled to registration rights.

The fair value of Private Placement Warrants was determined using the market trading price as at September 30, 2022, which was R$5.41 per share. The fair value calculation methodology was determined to be the same as the Public Warrants as both financial instruments have the same material rights and characteristics (i.e., both give the right to purchase one Semantix ordinary share for the same price with the same exercisable period).

The Group has recognized the following warrant obligations:

Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments are classified at fair value through profit or loss, when this classification significantly reduces a possible measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as “accounting mismatch”) that would occur due to the measurement of assets or liabilities or the recognition of their gains and losses on different bases. Gains/losses on financial instruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized as financial income or expense in the profit or loss for the period.

This section provides details about the judgements and estimates made in 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.

b)

Financial risk management

The Group’s activities expose it to various financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s global risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the financial board, according to the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The financial board identifies, evaluates and protects the Group against any financial risks. 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.

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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Financial risk factors have not changed since the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

c)

Capital Management

The policy of the Group is to maintain a strong capital base to secure investor, creditor, and market confidence and also to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the dividend yield to ordinary shareholders.

In addition, the Group objectives to manage capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital, and to have resources available for optimistic opportunities.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure of the Group, management can make, or propose to the shareholders when their approval is required, adjustments to the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets.

The Group monitors capital based on the net cash / net debt.

The Group’s strategy is to keep a positive net cash.

Financial covenants

On September 30, 2022, the amount of contracts under financial covenants is R$89,908 (December 31, 2021—R$78,796). The Group has complied with these contract conditions as of September 30, 2022, see note 9.

Eventual failure of the Group to comply with such covenants may be considered as breach of contract and, as a result, considered for early settlement of related obligations.
