In acquiring, record TPV of 124 billion BRL, three times the industry's
growth; in banking, record revenue of 434 million BRL, +41% higher than the same period
in 2023
SÃO PAULO, Aug. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PagBank (NYSE: PAGS), a
complete digital bank in financial services and payments solution,
announces its results for the second quarter of 2024
(2Q24). Among the key highlights of the
period, the company recorded a record net income
(Non-GAAP) of 542 million BRL (+31% y/y). Net
income in a GAAP basis, also a record, was 504 million BRL (+31% y/y).
After almost two years as CEO of PagBank, Alexandre Magnani celebrates the record numbers,
the result of the strategy implemented and executed since the
beginning of 2023: "We have nearly 32 million clients.
These figures consolidate PagBank as a solid and complete bank,
reinforcing our purpose of facilitating the financial life of
people and businesses in a simple, integrated, secure and
accessible way," says the CEO.
In acquiring, the TPV registered was a record,
reaching 124.4 billion BRL, an
annual growth of +34% (+11% t/t), more than three times the
industry's growth. This figure was driven by growth in all
segments, especially in Micro and Small Enterprises (MSMEs), which
accounted for 67% of TPV, and new business growth verticals,
especially online, cross-border and automation, which already
account for a third of TPV.
In digital banking, PagBank reached 76.4 billion BRL in cash-in
(+52% y/y), contributing to the record volume of deposits,
which reached a total of 34.2 billion
BRL, up an impressive +87% y/y and 12% q/q. This
reflects the +39% y/y growth in PagBank checking accounts and the
higher volume of investments raised in CDBs issued by the bank,
which grew +127% in the last twelve months.
"This month, we received the AAA.br rating from
Moody's, with a stable outlook, the highest level on the
local scale. In less than a year, both S&P Global
and Moody's have given us the highest rating on their local
scale: triple-A. At PagBank, our customers have the same solidity
as the country's largest financial institutions but with better
returns and terms. This is only possible because we have a lean
cost structure and the agility of a fintech," says Magnani.
In 2Q24, the credit portfolio grew +11% y/y to
2.9 billion BRL, leveraging
low-risk, high-engagement products such as credit cards, payroll
deduction loans and anticipation of FGTS anniversary withdrawals
while resuming other credit lines.
According to Artur Schunck, CFO
of PagBank, the acceleration in volumes and revenues, combined with
cost and expense discipline, were the main drivers of the record
results. "We have managed to balance growth and profitability.
Revenue growth has accelerated in recent quarters and our
investments in expanding commercial teams, marketing activities and
improving customer service have not impacted profit growth, giving
us the impetus to raise our TPV and Non-GAAP net income
guidance," said Schunck.
As the first half of 2024 draws to a close, the company has
raised its TPV and Non-GAAP net income guidance for the year. For
TPV, the company now expects growth of between +22% and +28%
year-over-year, significantly higher than the guidance of between
+12% and +16% provided at the beginning of the year. For Non-GAAP
net income, the company now expects growth of between +19% and +25%
y/y, higher than the guidance of between +16% and +22% provided at
the beginning of the year.
Other Highlights
Total Revenue and Income in
2Q24 was 4.6 billion BRL (+19%
y/y), driven by solid growth in higher-margin financial services
revenues. The number of clients reached 31.6 million,
bolstering PagBank's position as one of the largest digital banks
in the country.
PagBank has been working on launching new products and
services that will expand its increasingly complete portfolio
of solutions to make it easier for its customers to do business.
The digital bank has just launched the service of anticipating
receivables from other POS, with same-day deposit to the
account for customers with a PagBank domicile. This August,
eligible customers can count on this service in their bank
account.
"This will be a new way for merchants to access their
receivables centrally. It will allow them to view and forecast all
sales from any acquirer in the PagBank application, without having
to access multiple applications," Magnani explains. According
to the CEO, in this first phase of the product, the company offers
features such as self-service contracting, same-day disbursement
for PagBank customers, and customized negotiations by acquirer and
amount.
Another feature that has just been made available is the
multiple payment of boletos. This allows several
payments to be made simultaneously in a single transaction,
reducing the time needed to process each boleto
individually. The solution mainly benefits PF (individual) or PJ
(business) account users who want to pay several bills at once. In
addition to these launches, there are many more to come.
"For our 6.4 million merchant and business
customers, these and other competitive advantages, such as zero
fees for new merchants, on-the-spot prepayments to PagBank
accounts, express POS delivery and Pix acceptance, are key
differentiators. We are focused on attracting and retaining
customers and encouraging them to use PagBank as their main bank,
thereby generating more value for the company and contributing to
our sustainable growth," added Alexandre Magnani, CEO of PagBank.
