To our shareholders
We are happy to announce our earnings results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 and to continue to share our recent developments and milestones.
In September 2023, we reached 30.2 million clients, amounting to R$ 669 billion in transactions occurring over the first nine months of the year. These numbers comprise of R$ 389 billion in Total Banking Volume (formerly known as PagBank TPV) and R$ 281 billion in Total Payment Volume (formerly known as PagSeguro TPV).
In the third quarter, TPV grew faster than the industry’s growth, driven by growth in all merchant segments: micro-merchants, SMBs and large accounts. Also, as of November 2023, PIX has been operational for 3 years in the Brazilian market, and we are very well positioned to take advantage of its capabilities. PagBank Cash-in, which comprise of all PIX P2P transactions and wire transfers sent from different financial institution to us, amounted to R$ 56 billion.
Improved trends in our TPV and PagBank Cash-in resulted in our deposits reaching a record level of almost R$ 22 billion. We have now concluded an important 12-month cycle through which we managed the impact of high interest rates for an extended period through a repricing process, while at the same time diversified our funding structure backed by deposits. As a result, we have executed a valuable strategy to keep increasing our gross profit by disassociating the reliance on take rate trajectory, driven by merchants’ mix change, lowering our average cost of funding. For example, this quarter our financial expenses decreased in comparison to the same period in 2022, a trend we have not observed since early 2021 when interest rate hikes began in Brazil.
Consequently, our net income reached an all-time high, posting R$ 440 million on a non-GAAP basis, representing +7% year-over-year, and pushing our net cash balance to R$ 10.6 billion, which is our cornerstone against economic turmoil and a buffer for new investments without causing shareholder dilution. Also, we totaled over R$ 1 billion in share buybacks since 2021, executing more than 80% of our current program.
We see compelling opportunities to further expand our footprint in different geographies in Brazil through our HUBs and by boosting our online payments penetration, providing a seamless omnichannel solution. As we are expecting to address the mismatch between capital expenditures and depreciation/amortization levels in the second half of 2024, we have started to increase our salesforce to reach our goals and foster the natural cross-selling of our financial services, making the financial lives of our clients easier and empowering them through a one-stop-shop financial ecosystem.
We continue to pursue technological disruptions. In October, we executed our first transaction using DREX, the Brazilian digital currency through the blockchain platform, embracing the digital assets revolution. In November, we announced a facial authentication feature for our clients aiming to use our payment link option, reinforcing our security features while improving user experience and confidence.
Our management principles remain the same:
•Superior execution in balancing growth with profitability;
•Robust financials with high liquidity, sustainable results, and low funding costs; and
•Solid and ethical corporate governance.
I am looking forward to the next milestones of our journey.
Alexandre Magnani, Chief Executive Officer

Total Deposits reached R$ 21.6 billion, representing an increase of +11.2% vs. 3Q22. This increase was driven by the +43.4% y/y growth in Checking Accounts Balance (following better trends observed in TPV and PagBank cash-in), which allowed us to further reduce annual percentage yields, resulting in lower costs of funding.

1. Including Other Financial Income;
2. Including Float, intercompany revenue from Payments’ business unit.
Total Revenue and Income reached R$ 4,026 million in 3Q23, representing a slight decrease from R$ 4,035 million reported in 3Q22, but represented an increase of +5.2% quarter-over-quarter. The breakdown of Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income differs from Total Revenue and Income amount due to the Float from Financial Services unit, which is an intercompany revenue from Merchant Acquiring funding, not accounted for Total Revenue and Income. Before 1Q23, Float from Checking 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 will no longer offset a portion of the Financial Expenses. In 3Q23, intercompany Float amounted to R$ 71 million vs. R$ 99 million in 3Q22 and R$ 57 million in 2Q23.
(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.

Total Revenue and Income performance is explained below:
(i)Transaction Activities and Other Services in 3Q23 amounted to R$ 2,269 million, representing a slight decrease of -1.0% vs. 3Q22, but represented an increase of +4.8% quarter-over-quarter. This performance is mainly due to the focus on revenues with higher margins, increasing share of larger merchants in Payments, the impact of the regulatory change on prepaid/debit cards that came into force on April 1, 2023 and the mix change in credit portfolio towards secured products with lower yields and longer duration in Financial Services.
(ii)Financial Income, which represents the discount fees we withhold from credit card transactions in installments for the early payment of Accounts Payable to Third Parties (merchants), reached R$ 1,691 million, representing a slight decrease of -0.4% vs R$ 1,697 million in 3Q22, mainly due to the increasing share of larger merchants with lower take rates and shorter duration of TPV of Credit Card installments.
(iii)Other Financial Income reached R$ 66 million in 3Q23, an increase of +42.2% vs. 3Q22, mainly due to the increase in interest accrued on Cash and Cash Equivalents and higher position.

Total Costs and Expenses, on a non-GAAP basis, amounted to R$ 3,469 million in the 3Q23, representing a decrease of -2.6% from R$ 3,563 million in the 3Q22.
The decrease is mainly related to:
Cost of Sales and Services reached R$ 2,028 million in the 3Q23, representing an increase of +6.1% year-over-year, mainly due to the TPV growth, leading to higher interchange and card scheme fees, and higher POS depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to LTIP (long-term incentive plan), Cost of Sales and Services, on a GAAP basis, reached R$ 2,033 million, representing an increase of +9.2%, from R$ 1,862 million reported in 3Q22.
Selling Expenses totaled R$ 377 million, representing a decrease of -29.0% from R$ 531 million reported in the same period of 2022, mainly driven by lower losses and optimizations in Marketing expenses.
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to LTIP (long-term incentive plan), Selling Expenses reached R$ 378 million, representing a decrease of -28.7%, from R$ 531 million reported in 3Q22.
Administrative Expenses reached R$ 166 million, representing an increase of +17.4% from R$ 141 million presented in 3Q22, mainly driven by higher expenses in software licenses and cloud services.
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to LTIP Costs and M&A, Administrative Expenses reached R$ 206 million, representing an increase of +11.3%, from R$ 185 million reported in 3Q22.
Financial Expenses totaled R$ 820 million in 3Q23, representing a decrease of -10.9% vs. 3Q22, mainly due to a lower average cost of funding led by deposits growth, which posted a strong figure quarter-over-quarter, increasing its relevance in our funding strategy, and lower expenses related to the Brazilian Basic Interest Rate (SELIC) decrease, partially offset by TPV growth in the period.
Other Expenses, net reached R$ 79 million in 3Q23, representing an increase of +33.3% from expenses of R$ 59 million reported in 3Q22. This increase is mainly driven by POS write-off during the period.
When excluding non-GAAP figures related to the capital gains from the revaluation of assets of 10% of NETPOS in the amount of R$ 3 million, Other Expenses, net, on a GAAP basis, reached R$ 76 million, representing an increase of +33.3% from expenses of R$ 59 million reported in 3Q22.
On a GAAP basis, including LTIP, M&A and Other Expenses of R$ 45 million, Total Costs and Expenses amounted to R$ 3,514 million, representing a decrease of -2.7% in comparison to the amount of R$ 3,610 million presented in 3Q22.

This decrease was mainly driven by the improved asset quality of our credit portfolio with increased exposure to secured products with negligible NPLs, demanding lower expected credit losses provisions. Quarter-over-quarter, Total Losses increased by +35.8% mainly as a result of our credit model update on our outstanding balance of provisions in working capital loan and payroll loan portfolio, aligned to IFRS 9.

Personnel Expenses reached R$ 245 million, representing an increase of +4.2% vs. 3Q22, driven by the impact of our collective bargaining agreement and an increase in our salesforce. When including non-GAAP Expenses of R$ 27 million, Personnel Expenses, on a GAAP basis, totaled R$ 274 million, representing a decrease of -1.3% vs. 3Q22 due to the lower relevance of the long-term incentive plan given the current shares price level.
Marketing and Advertising totaled R$ 140 million in 3Q23, representing a decrease of -30.1% vs. 3Q22, led by the optimizations on marketing deployment, focusing on being more selective in attracting new clients with better unit economics; and
Other Expenses reached R$ 199 million in 3Q23, representing an increase of +10.4% from R$ 180 million reported in 3Q22, mainly driven by software licenses and consulting services. When excluding non-GAAP Expenses of R$ 3 million in 3Q23 and including R$ 52 million in 3Q22, Other Expenses, on a GAAP basis, totaled R$ 196 million, representing a decrease of -15.4% vs. 3Q22.

1. Adj. EBITDA: GAAP Net Income + Income Tax and Social Contribution – Other Financial Income + POS Write-off + Depreciation and Amortization + FX Expenses + M&A Expenses + LTIP Expenses. Please see the Supplemental Information for a reconciliation of this adjusted financial measure
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to R$ 894 million in 3Q23, representing an increase of +16.1% vs. 3Q22, led by our gross profit evolution combined with the efficiencies observed in our operating expenses, resulting in higher margins.
Capital Expenditures amounted to R$ 529 million in 3Q23, representing an increase of +5.3% vs. 3Q22, mainly driven by better trends in gross adds (restoring POS inventories) and investments in PagBank new products development.
Cash Earnings amounted to R$ 365 million, representing an increase of +36.4% year-over-year, driven by better operating performance combined with a stable trend on capital expenditure deployments in comparison with the previous year.

Depreciation and Amortization reached R$ 346 million, representing an increase of +17.7%, from R$ 294 million in 3Q22, mainly explained by:
(i)the depreciation of POS devices; and
(ii)the amortization of R&D investments, mainly related to product development and data security. These investments allow us to defer our tax liability through “Lei do Bem” (Technological Innovation Law).
When including non-GAAP Expenses of R$ 17 million, D&A, on a GAAP basis, totaled R$ 329 million, representing an increase of +13.5% vs. 3Q22 due to M&A expenses related to the fair value assets amortization and expenses for external consulting services.

In 3Q23, this value amounted to R$ 64 million, representing an increase of +54.9% year-over-year. 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:
(i)POS delivery for new merchants; and
(ii)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.

Earnings before Tax amounted to R$ 557 million in 3Q23, representing an increase of +17.9% vs. 3Q22, reflecting the business growth in Payments and Financial Services, lower financial expenses, lower losses, and operational efficiencies partially offset by higher Depreciation and Amortization levels.
When including non-GAAP Expenses of R$ 45 million, Earnings before Tax, on a GAAP basis, totaled R$ 512 million, representing an increase of +20.4% vs. 3Q22.

1. 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 Digital Ltd. On specific intangible assets. Please, see Note 12 in our Form 6-K related to the Financial Statements, published on the date hereof;
2. 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$ 101 million in 3Q23, representing an increase of +125.1% versus 3Q22. Effective Tax Rate (ETR) increased by +920 bps to 19.8% in 3Q23 from 10.6% in 3Q22, mainly driven by lower results in FIDC and lower Capital Expenditure deployments in 2023 vs. 2022 in regards to “Lei do Bem” eligibility. 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:
(i)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; and
(ii)Taxation of Income abroad. Certain entities or investment funds adopt different taxation regimes in accordance with the applicable rules in their respective jurisdictions.

Expenses (Revenues) not affecting Cash amounted of R$ 826 million, representing a decrease of -33.3% year-over-year mainly driven by:
•Lower Losses, mainly related to better fraud prevention actions related to Total Payment Volume and more detailed credit analysis for credit operations;
•Depreciation and Amortization growth due to the deployed capital expenditures in prior years;
•Decrease in the Interest accrued from Financial Assets and Liabilities given the lower average cost of funding driven by the deposits growth;
•Increase in Disposal of Property, Equipment, and Intangible Assets, mainly explained by the write-offs of POS devices.

Net Cash provided in Operating Activities in 3Q23 totaled R$ 972 million, representing a decrease of -9.2% vs. 3Q22.
The adjustments for changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities amounted to negative cash flow of R$ 1,037 million in 3Q23, mainly due to:
•Accounts receivable, mainly related to receivables derived from transactions where we act as the financial intermediary in operations with the issuing banks, which is presented net of Transaction Costs and Financial Expenses we incur when we elect to receive early payment of the accounts receivable owed to us by card issuers, consists of the difference between the opening and closing balances of the Accounts Receivable item of Current Assets and Non-current Assets on our Balance Sheet;
•Payables to third parties, which is presented net of Revenue from Transaction Activities and Financial Income we receive when merchants elect to receive early payments, consists of the difference between the opening and closing balances of the Payables to Third Parties item of Current Liabilities on our Balance Sheet;
•Receivables from (Payables to) related Parties, consists of the difference between the opening and closing balances of the Payables to related Parties excluding Interest Paid, which are presented separately in the statement of Cash Flows;
•Salaries and Social Charges consist of the amounts that were recorded on our Statement of Income, but which remained unpaid at the end of the period.

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,” “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.”
