Second Quarter 2023 Operational Highlights:

We innovate aligned with our guiding principles. We express our brand through the success of our customers. VTEX key operational highlights this quarter are:

  • Zero friction onboarding and collaboration:
    • My Geisha, a renowned beauty brand with 58 stores across 13 countries, partnered with VTEX in Romania to diversify sales channels and customize their site. As a result, its online sales increased seven-fold, solidifying their position in the competitive beauty industry.
    • Midea, a prominent Chinese electrical appliances manufacturer, turned to VTEX for scalable solutions in Brazil. By implementing critical features, Midea achieved a 10% increase in conversion rates, 40% boost in organic revenue, 8% rise in mobile conversion rates, and 13% reduction in bounce rates by the time they migrated.
    • Metatools, a leading DIY company, has partnered with VTEX in Germany, Italy, and Romania to launch the e-bricoshop.ro marketplace with 50 major merchants and brands with a minimum of 100,000 SKUs expected in the first year. The partnership with VTEX enables easy expansion and international scalability. e-bricoshop.ro aims to connect customers with top brands and foster a sense of community in the DIY niche.
  • Single control panel for every order
    • Kopenhagen, a leading premium chocolate brand in Brazil, utilized VTEX's omnichannel architecture to enhance Easter sales. Integrating physical stores and franchisees increased sales by 20% and improved customer satisfaction.
  • Commerce on auto-pilot and co-pilot
    • Williamson Balfour Motors, a BMW dealer in Chile, partnered with VTEX to successfully transition its automotive ecommerce, providing a tailored online shopping experience for BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad brands. Through automation and user-friendly tools, they enhanced their platform, offering customers a convenient way to reserve vehicles and purchase them from the comfort of their homes.

Business Outlook

The integration of ecommerce to leverage existing physical stores has become a crucial aspect of the business strategy for enterprise brands and retailers. Consumers now expect a seamless shopping experience, whether they're browsing online or in-store. Omnichannel has gone from being a desirable feature to a vital tool for engaging with consumers in a consistent and relevant manner.

However, the global macroeconomic environment has imposed challenges to retailers and ecommerce players. The increase in interest rates and labor costs has impacted consumption and put pressure on margins. Despite these challenges, our company has not seen a significant deterioration in our most relevant long-term performance metrics. This is a testament to the resilience of our business model and our ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

As a result of the aforementioned, we have reflected the extended sales cycle resulting from the increased implementation time of the VTEX platform and longer ramp-up periods for new customers into our projections for this year. Although the macroeconomic scenario remains uncertain, we have seen an encouraging stabilization of such cycles in the current quarter. We are closely monitoring the performance of our customers and sales funnel and taking necessary actions to ensure our business's continued growth and success.

In this context, we are currently targeting revenue for the third quarter of 2023 in the US$48.2 million to US$49.0 million range, implying a YoY growth of 19% on an FX neutral basis in the middle of the range.

For the full year 2023, we expect FX neutral YoY revenue growth of 18% to 20%, implying a range of US$191 million to US$195 million based on Q2 average FX rates.

As we continue executing our strategy for profitable growth, we anticipate relevant YoY improvements in our non-GAAP operating income margin in the second half of the year.

We are confident in VTEX's ability to navigate the uncertainties posed by the current macroeconomic scenario. We are empowering our customers to digitally transform their commerce operations while helping them to outperform the market.

The business outlook provided above constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond VTEX’s control. See the cautionary note regarding ''Forward-Looking Statements'' below. Fluctuations in VTEX’s operating results may be particularly pronounced in the current economic environment. There can not be an assurance that VTEX will achieve these results.
