I - Statement of Income
Non-GAAP disclosure
This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures. We present non-GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, as the case may be, that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook.
These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered separately from, or as a substitute for, our financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP results consist of our GAAP results as adjusted to exclude the following items:
LTIP expenses: This consists of expenses for equity awards under our two long-term incentive plans (LTIP and LTIPGoals). We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are noncash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business.
M&A expenses: This consists of expenses for mergers & acquisitions (“M&A”) transactions, including, among others, expenses for external consulting, accounting and legal services in connection with due diligence and negotiating M&A documentation for our acquisitions, as well as amortization and write-downs of the fair value of certain acquired assets. We exclude M&A expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are nonrecurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Income tax and social contribution on LTIP and M&A adjustments: This represents the income tax effect related to the adjustments from LTIP expenses and M&A expenses mentioned above.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the tables elsewhere in this press release under the following headings: “Reconciliation of Total Expenses to nonGAAP Total Expenses,” “Reconciliation of Income Tax and Social Contribution to non-GAAP Income Tax and Social Contribution,” “Reconciliation of Net Income to nonGAAP Net Income,” “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA”, “Reconciliation of Basic and diluted EPS to nonGAAP Basic and diluted EPS,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to non-GAAP Measures.”

Total revenue and income
GRAFICO_PAGX04A.JPG
Total revenues and income reached R$2,369.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, an improvement of 74.6% from R$1,357.4 million reported in the second quarter of 2020. The growth was mainly due to an increase in our Acquiring TPV and will be detailed in each revenue and income lines described below.
Revenue from transaction activities and other services
GRAFICO_PAGX05A.JPG
Revenues from transaction activities and other services in the 2Q21 amounted to R$1,548.1 million, an improvement of R$691.6 million, or 80.8%, from R$856.5 million presented in the 2Q20, because of the factors described below:
Gross revenues from transaction activities and other services in the 2Q21 amounted to R$1,739.5 million, an improvement of R$775.2 million, or 80.4%, from R$964.3 million recorded in the 2Q20. This increase was principally due to an increase of 30.5% in our active merchant base and a growth of 89.1% in our Acquiring TPV, which increased to R$56.3 billion from R$29.8 billion reported in 2Q20. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, we recognized R$67.9 million in membership fees, an increase of R$37.6 million, from R$30.3 million presented in the 2Q20.

PAGS02A.JPG
Deductions from gross revenues from transaction activities and other services, which consist principally of taxes, amounted to R$191.4 million in the second quarter or 11.0% of Gross revenues from transaction activities and other services for the quarter. In the 2Q20, these deductions totaled R$107.8 million, or 11.2% in relation to the Gross revenue from transaction activities and other services for the quarter. The R$83.6 million, or 77.5%, increase in these deductions is directly related to our higher Acquiring TPV. Additionally, in 2Q21, R$6.3 million of these deductions corresponded to membership fee taxes, which corresponds to a growth of R$3.4 million from R$2.9 million recorded in the 2Q20.
Financial income
GRAFICO_PAGX06AA.JPG
The quarterly Financial income, which represents the discount fees we withhold from credit card transactions in installments for the early payment of accounts receivable, attained R$786.6 million, an increase of R$327.4 million, or 71.3%, from R$459.2 million presented in the 2Q20. The financial income growth was driven by a higher Acquiring TPV.
Other financial income
GRAFICO_PAGX06BA.JPG
Other financial income reached R$34.9 million in the 2Q21, a decrease of R$6.8 million, or 16.5%, from R$41.7 million in the 2Q20. This reduction was explained mainly by the decrease in the interest on cash and cash equivalents plus financial investments as a result of the lower levels of amounts invested.

In the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the amounts of R$105.8 million and R$16.1 million, respectively, were mainly related to the recurrent quarterly provision, payroll taxes related to LTIP and LTIP-Goals, including the update of our stock price and variation of the US$/R$ exchange rate and new shares issued to preexisting LTIP beneficiaries.

As a percentage of the total of our Revenues from transaction activities and other services, our Cost of services decreased 9.2 percentage points, to 83.4% in the 2Q21 from 92.6% in the 2Q20, due to:
i)Depreciation of the POS devices in the 2Q21 amounted to R$106.8 million, an increase of R$75.6 million, from R$31.2 million presented in the 2Q20;

These increases in items (i) and (ii) refer to more POS acquisitions and shipping to clients. The increases in items (iii) and (iv) are mainly related to a higher Acquiring TPV and, consequently, to the increased revenues from transactions and other services.
In the second quarter of the year 2021, the non-GAAP Cost of services reached R$1,286.8 million (reflecting the exclusion of the LTIP adjustment of R$8.3 million in the quarter), an increase of R$495.8 million, or 62.7%, from R$791.0 million reported in the 2Q20 (reflecting the exclusion of the LTIP adjustment of R$2.3 million in the 2Q20).

Adjusted EBITDA
GRAFICO_PAGX16A.JPG
*Excluding the effect of R$84.3 million related to the reversal of taxation of PIS/COFINS on financial income.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Our Adjusted EBITDA in the 2Q21 amounted to R$628.6 million, an increase of R$160.4 million, or 34.3%, from R$468.2 million reported in the 2Q20, which is calculated using Net income and adding (i) income tax and social contribution, plus (ii) depreciation and amortization, minus (iii) other financial income, plus (iv) US$/R$ exchange rate expenses related to variations in the exchange rate applicable to financial assets or liabilities held in foreign currency, plus (v) M&A expenses (vi) and adding LTIP expenses.
We are not considering the exclusion of M&A expenses in the amount of R$2.8 million in the 2Q21 because they are related to the amortization of fair value assets acquired and already considered in Depreciation and amortization. The amount of R$2.0 million related to the write-downs of the fair value of certain acquired assets considered in Administrative expense are included in M&A expenses.
The increase is mainly related to depreciation and amortization, which in the 2Q21 amounted to R$181.5 million, an increase of R$100.1 million, or 123.0%, from R$81.4 million in the 2Q20, this increase was explained by the increase in our POS devices, in addition to the increase of LTIP compensation expenses incurred. Below the reconciliation from Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA.

LTIP expenses: Stock-based compensation expenses in the total amount of R$105.8 million (R$16.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020), consisting of expenses for equity awards under our LTIP. We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of the equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business.

The total of LTIP expenses is allocated between Cost of services, Selling expenses and Administrative expenses.
