To our shareholders
We are happy to announce our results for the first quarter of 2023 and share the recent developments and milestones.
In March 2023, we reached 28.7 million clients amounting R$ 204 billion in transactions, composed R$ 116 billion driven by Total Banking Volume (formerly known as PagBank TPV) and R$ 88 billion in Total Payment Volume (formerly known as PagSeguro TPV). The changes implemented in the names of our key performance indicators derived from our marketing strategy to converge our brands into one: from now on, we are PagBank, the complete bank, simplifying our communication under one single brand and increasing the awareness of our services beyond Payments.
In Payments, we have concluded an important milestone started in 2020 to diversify our volume and clients in Brazil. Currently, we have micro-merchants, SMBs and large accounts adopting our solutions, which expanded our addressable market for a variety of client profiles, while at the same time managing short-term risks related to increasing competition in longtail and the advance of PIX. This quarter, MSMB TPV grew +16% y/y, outpacing industry growth of +10.7% y/y, boosted by the increasing productivity in HUBs, while in large accounts we have begun to prioritize healthier margins rather than volume growth. Active Merchants, excluding nano-merchants, increased +3% y/y, driven primarily by micro-merchants and SMBs.
In Financial Services, Total Deposits accounted for R$ 18.6 billion, +66% y/y driven by the increasing share of accounts balance and CDs distributed on our platform (PagBank) rather than third-party investment platforms, reinforcing client engagement. Credit Portfolio was R$ 2.7 billion, with the ongoing shift towards secured products in our outstanding credit portfolio, which combined with the run-off of our working capital loans, has been driving down sharply our provisions for expected credit losses and leading our Financial Services division to the breakeven point in EBITDA for the first time, reaching R$ 69 million.
As the company continues to improve disclosure and communication, we decided to change the managerial Float accounting to better reflect our businesses. From now on, 100% of Float will be booked in our Financial Services division, similar to other financial institutions. For our Payments division, financial expenses will increase, given float used to partially offset the growth in this line item, reducing gross profit and EBITDA. In our Financial Services division, revenues will increase, given the additional interest income, positively affecting gross profit and EBITDA. Looking at the consolidated results, there is no change in numbers.
Once again, this quarter presented record figures for most of our KPIs for a first quarter: TPV, revenues, gross profit, net income and cash earnings. Net income totaled R$ 392 million on a non-GAAP basis and R$ 370 million on a GAAP basis, driven by TPV growth and higher prepayment penetration on the top line side and disciplined capital allocation, material decrease in losses, optimizations in operating expenses and lower financial expenses vs. 4Q22. The increasing funding diversification with a lower cost led by deposits and retained earnings growth, contributed for the financial expenses reduction. Our equity position is 54% composed by retained earnings and our net cash balance reached R$ 10 billion, reinforcing the strength of our balance sheet, leaving us well-positioned for the next steps of our journey, consolidating our position as the most profitable fintech/merchant acquirer in Brazil.
For 2023, our investment strategy to balance growth with profitability continued to be based on the following pillars:
•Profitable growth in Payments with sustainable market share increase in key segments;
•Foster engagement in PagBank to diversify revenue streams and increase revenue per customer;
•Development of our payments and banking ecosystem to provide superior and unique value proposition;
•Ongoing improvement in models/processes to further decrease losses and promote operational efficiency; and
•Disciplined cost management and capital allocation to improve EPS and cash flow generation.
We remain extremely excited and confident about the next steps to further promote digital financial disruption in Brazil.
Alexandre Magnani, Chief Executive Officer

Financial Services | | 116.0 | 72.1 | 61% | | 114.8 | 1% |
Total Finance Volume (TFV), formerly known as PAGS TPV, totaled R$ 204 billion, an increase of +34% vs. 1Q22 due to the growth in Total Payment Volume and Total Banking Volume, mainly driven by the maturation of merchant cohorts’ and market share gains in key segments combined with the higher engagement in Financial Services.
Total Payment Volume (TPV), formerly known as PagSeguro TPV, totaled R$ 88.1 billion, an increase of +10% vs. 1Q22 mainly due to:
(i)larger share of wallet mainly driven by the cash conversion into electronic payments;
(ii)maturation of existing cohorts due to increasing productivity of our sales channels; and
(iii)market share gains in key segments boosted by HUBs execution exploring a larger addressable market;
Total Banking Volume (TBV), formerly known as PagBank TPV, totaled R$ 116.0 billion, an increase of +61% vs. 1Q22. This growth is mainly related to our clients’ higher engagement with day-to-day banking features (such as PIX, bill payments, mobile top-up), cards spending and credit underwriting. The number of PIX transactions by PagBank clients accounted for approximately 9% of the total PIX transactions in Brazil. The increasing engagement of our clients reflects the results of our close-loop ecosystem: starting with cash-in, followed by investments options that unlock a credit card offer, encouraging new purchases by our clients.
PagBank Clients

PagBank ended the quarter with 28.7 million clients, representing an increase of +24% vs. 1Q22, and Active Clients of 16.3 million, an increase of +14% vs. 1Q22. This increase is mainly related to higher penetration in the consumers segment which represents 61% of PagBank clients vs. 53% in 1Q22. This increase also reflects the release of new products by PagBank and best-in-class user experience.
Active Merchants

Total | | 6.9 | 7.7 | -10% | | 7.1 | -2% |
Active Merchants ended the quarter with 6.9 million, a decrease of -10% vs. 1Q22. Since early 2022, the company has been adopting a more selective go-to-market strategy focusing on clients with better unit economics, higher activation ratio, and higher engagement with PagBank. Consequently, nano-merchants (merchants with TPV up to R$ 1,000 per month) have not been prioritized given the uncompelling paybacks. Excluding nano-merchants, active merchants increased +3% year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in micro-merchants and SMBs.

Credit Portfolio reached R$ 2.7 billion in 1Q23, representing an increase of +32% vs. 1Q22. This increase was mostly driven by secured loan underwriting such as Payroll Loans, FGTS early prepayment and Secured Credit Card. Secured products reached 44% of share in the Credit Portfolio, resulting in a better-balanced portfolio.

Total Deposits reached R$ 18.6 billion, representing an increase of +66% vs. 1Q22. This increase was driven by both the +40% y/y growth in Accounts Balance (following cash-in increase trends, partially offset by the seasonality vs. 4Q22) and +87% y/y growth in CDs, which allowed the company to reduce the CDs distribution by third-party partners, which resulted in lower cost of funding.

Total Revenue and Income reached R$ 3,750 million in 1Q23, representing an increase of +9% from R$ 3,427 million reported in 1Q22. The breakdown of Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income differs from Total Revenue and Income amount due to PagBank Float, which is an intercompany revenue from Merchant Acquiring funding, not accounted for Total Revenue and Income. Before 1Q23, Float from Accounts Balance was partially booked in Payments. Going forward, 100% of Float will be fully booked in Financial Services, similar to other financial institutions. The main differences will be:
(i)Total Revenue and Income: The mismatch between Total Revenue and Income and the managerial Total Revenue and Income’s breakdown in Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income increase given the intercompany Float no longer will offset a portion of the Financial Expenses. In 1Q23, intercompany Float amounted to R$ 95 million vs. R$ 72 million in 1Q22 and R$ 97 million in 4Q22.
(ii)Payments: No change in revenue except for an increase in Financial Expenses, since the share of such expenses offset by the Float usually booked in Payments will no longer occur. Consequently, Gross Profit and Adj. EBITDA will decrease.
(iii)Financial Services: An increase in Revenue since the Float will lead to a higher interest income. Consequently, Gross Profit and Adj. EBITDA will increase.

(i)Transaction Activities and Other Services in 1Q23 amounted to R$ 2,151 million, representing an increase of +4% vs. 1Q22, mainly due to the TPV growth and Financial Services.
(ii)Financial Income, which represents the discount fees we withhold from credit card transactions in installments for the early payment of accounts receivable, reached R$ 1,534 million, representing an increase of +15% vs. 1Q22, mainly due to the higher share of credit card transactions in TPV and longer duration of installments.
(iii)Other Financial Income reached R$ 65 million in 1Q23, an increase of +55%, mainly due to the increase in interest on Cash and Cash Equivalents plus Financial Investments due to the higher Brazilian Basic Interest Rate (SELIC) as compared to 1Q22.

Transaction Costs reached R$ 1,389 million in 1Q23, representing an increase of +7% from R$ 1,303 million reported in 1Q22. As a percentage of the Total Revenue and Income, Transaction Costs decreased to 37% in 1Q23 vs. 38% in 1Q22, due to lower costs in connection with equipment maintenance and logistics, reflecting our strategy of being more selective regarding the addition of merchants.
The increase is mainly related to:
↑Interchange Fees and Card Scheme Fees paid to card issuers and networks totaled R$ 1,338 million in 1Q23, representing an increase of +9% y/y, mainly driven by the increase in TPV, higher penetration on small and medium businesses (SMBs) segment and a higher share of credit card volumes; and
↓Other Costs decrease -30% vs. 1Q22 mainly explained by lower logistics and maintenance costs related to the optimization of our go-to-market strategy focused on quality vs. quantity of merchants.

This increase reflects our ongoing repricing process throughout 2022 and mix change towards more credit cards, which is mainly applicable to our prepayment services. On a quarterly basis, Net Take Rate decreased -6%, as a result of lower TPV given the recurring seasonality observed from the holiday seasons in the fourth quarters in Brazil.

Gross Profit totaled R$ 1,374 million in 1Q23, representing an increase of +12% from R$ 1,225 million reported in 1Q22. This increase is mainly related to TFV gains, successes stemming from repricing strategy in 2022, operating leverage captured and diligent credit underwriting strategy more focused on secured products with longer durations. This increase was partially offset by the higher average interest rate of the quarter vs. the same period of 2022, driving up financial expenses.

As a percentage of Total Revenues and Income, non-GAAP Personnel Expenses were 6.8% in 1Q23, an increase of 20 bps from 6.6% reported in 1Q22. It is important to highlight that in this quarter we had a negative impact in our Personnel Expenses related to the headcount resizing.
When including non-GAAP Expenses reversal of R$ 19 million, related to lower share-based compensation during the period, GAAP Personnel Expenses totaled R$ 272 million.
↓Marketing and Advertising totaled R$ 118 million in 1Q23, representing a decrease of 32% vs. 1Q22. As a percentage of Total Revenues and Income, Marketing and Advertising expenses decreased by 190 bps to 3.1% in 1Q23, from 5.0% in 1Q22.

Depreciation and Amortization reached R$ 303 million, representing an increase of +24%, from R$ 244 million in 1Q22. Depreciation and amortization expenses consist mainly of: (i) the depreciation of POS devices, and (ii) the amortization of research and development (R&D) investments, mainly related to software and technology developments for the business. These investments related to R&A allow the company to defer its tax liability through “Lei do Bem” (Technological Innovation Law).
These amounts exclude:
(i)M&A Expenses related to the amortization of fair value assets acquired as well as expenses for external consulting, accounting, and legal services in the amount of R$ 4.6 million in 1Q23; and
(ii)Capitalized Expenses related to platforms development in the amount of R$ 10.2 million.
Including Non-GAAP expenses mentioned above, Depreciation and Amortization totaled R$ 317 million in the quarter, up +27% when compared to the R$ 249 million reported in 1Q22.

In September 2019, we changed our business model from selling POS devices to a subscription model to follow the industry’s best standards and to improve the merchant’s user experience in terms of:
•POS delivery for new merchants; and
•POS maintenance and replacement for existing merchants.
At that time, we strategically prepared for the launch of our HUBs strategy to have the best SLAs in the market, providing a superior value proposition to focus not only on pricing (POS, MDR and prepayment) fee itself.
Between 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic changed merchants’ transaction profile into the PAGS ecosystem, adding more complexity to understanding merchants’ engagement and activity levels. Now we have a better understanding of merchants’ activity, and we started to write-off POS devices beginning in the 2Q22. In 1Q23, this value amounted to R$ 62 million vs. R$ 66 million in 4Q22.

(i) Refers to the benefit granted by the Technological Innovation Law (“Lei do Bem”), which reduces the income tax charges, based on the amount invested by the PagSeguro group on specific intangible assets, see Note 13 in our Form 6-K related to the Financial Statements, published on the date hereof.
(ii) Some entities and investment funds adopt different taxation regimes according to the applicable rules in their jurisdictions.
Income Tax and Social Contribution amounted to an expense of R$ 66 million in 1Q23, stable versus 1Q22. Effective Tax Rate (ETR) decreased by -100 bps to 15% in 1Q23 from 16% in 1Q22. In both periods, the difference between the Effective Income Tax and Social Contribution Rate and the Rate computed by applying the Brazilian federal statutory rate was mainly related to the Technological Innovation Law (“Lei do Bem”), which reduces income tax charges based on investments made in innovation and technology, such as those made by PagSeguro Brazil, our Brazilian operating subsidiary.
Additionally, in 1Q23 we experienced another effect related to Taxation of Income abroad. Certain entities or investment funds adopt different taxation regimes in accordance with the applicable rules in their respective jurisdictions, which resulted in a decrease in our ETR by 7.0% for 1Q23.

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 LTIP-Goals). 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 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 non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Non-recurring Effects: This consists of one-time effects related to PagPhone sales, PagPhone inventory provisions, tax impairment, software disposals and development. We exclude non-recurring effects from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such items are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Income Tax and Social Contribution on LTIP Expenses, M&A Expenses and Non-Recurring Adjustments: This represents the income tax effect related to the LTIP expenses, M&A expenses and non-recurring adjustments 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: “Income Tax and Social Contribution Reconciliation,” and “Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income Reconciliation” “Reconciliation of Basic and diluted EPS to non-GAAP Basic and diluted EPS” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to non-GAAP Measures.”
