 CI&T Reports Solid First Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Raises Full Year 2022 Guidance

New York - May 18, 2022 /Business Wire/ - CI&T (NYSE: CINT, “Company”), a global digital specialist, today announces its results for the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For comparison purposes, we refer to the results for the first quarter of 2021 (1Q21).

1Q22 Operating and Financial Highlights

 

         Net Revenue of R$491,9 million, an increase of 66.0% compared to 1Q21.

         Net Revenue growth in constant currency was 75.3%

         The number of clients with annual revenue above R$1 million in the last twelve months grew from 94 in 4Q21 to 110 in 1Q22.

         CI&T ended 1Q22 with 6,435 CI&Ters, a net addition of 2,674 employees (71% growth) compared to the end of 1Q21.

 

Cesar Gon, founder and CEO of CI&T, commented "We are excited to initiate 2022 with a strong net revenue growth in the first quarter, a post covid environment, which demonstrates the resilience and consistency of our engagements with our long-term clients. Digital transformation has been enabling companies to unlock their business potential, increasing sales and improving profitability metrics, and demand for our services remains strong in all industry verticals we operate.

 

We have been disciplined to onboard new clients every quarter to guarantee our sustainable growth and our hiring machine continues to operate at full speed. Based on our annual engagements for the year and the robust demand environment, we are increasing our net revenue guidance for 2022 and expect it to be at least R$2,300 million (USD442 million), a 59% growth compared to last year. Finally, we are maintaining our Adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 20% for the full year of 2022."

In 1Q22, net revenue was R$491.9 million, an increase of 66.0% compared to 1Q21. The acquisition of Somo concluded on January 27, 2022 contributed to 10 percentage points of revenue growth in the quarter. Net revenue in constant currency grew 75.3% in the comparable period. The strong performance in the quarter reflects the expansion of our engagement with existing clients, the addition of 16 new logos with revenues above R$1.0 million in the last twelve months, combined with additional revenue from recent acquisitions. 

 

CI&T decreased its top one clients' revenue share to 15% in 1Q22 from 24% in 1Q21 and reduced its top 10 clients' share to 51% from 73% in the same comparison period. In addition, CI&T increased its revenue exposure to Europe with the acquisition of Somo in the UK, diversifying further its geographic footprint. In terms of revenue by industry, the verticals that are growing faster are Technology, Media and Telecom (TMT) and Retail and Manufacturing, due to strong demand for our services from our clients in those industries, as well as the addition of new clients in those verticals.

The cost of services provided in 1Q22 reached R$329.0 million, an increase of 74.7% compared to 1Q21, and the gross profit was R$162.9 million. Excluding costs with depreciation and amortization and the stock option plan, the adjusted gross profit in 1Q22 was R$173.4 million, 51.8% higher than 1Q21, with an adjusted gross profit margin of 35.2%, a reduction of 3.3 percentage points (p.p.) compared to 1Q21.

 

The decline in the gross profit margin is explained by the (i) the impact of 1.9 p.p. in margin from foreign exchange rate variation in the period, (ii) M&A, as recent acquired companies have lower margins, and (iii) seasonal annual wage adjustments in the first quarter while contractual price readjustments occur throughout the year. It is worth mentioning that seasonality in 2020 and 2021 was affected by the pandemic, changing the typical patterns in our industry.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses grew 123.8% in 1Q22 compared to 1Q21, mainly explained by (i) an increase in expenses associated with the expansion of the hiring and attracting teams, aligned with our revenue and headcount growth; (ii) higher depreciation and amortization expenses due to the recognition of intangible assets related to acquisitions; and (iii) the strengthening of our back-office teams as a result of our IPO.  Most of the SG&A are fixed expenses and are expected to  be diluted throughout the next quarters, based on the projected revenue growth for 2022.

Net Financial Expenses - Net financial expenses was R$16.7 million in 1Q22, compared to R$1.7 million in 1Q21, mainly due to the new debt raised in July 2021 to finance the Dextra acquisition in the amount of R$650 million.


Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$19.4 million in 1Q22, an increase of R$11.6 million compared to 1Q21, mainly due to the amortization of R$7.6 million from intangible assets related to the acquistion of Dextra.


Income tax expense - In 1Q22, income tax expense was R$15.3 million, 24.3% lower than 1Q21, due to the corporate reorganization conducted by the Company in the end of 2021, in connection with our IPO. In addition, the Company recognized R$595.7 million in goodwill from the acquisition of Dextra, which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes from January 2022.

In 1Q22, adjusted net profit was R$33.5 million, 16.0% lower than 1Q21, and adjusted net profit margin reduced to 6.8% in 1Q22 from 13.4% in 1Q21, mainly due to higher depreciation and amortization and financial expenses, partially compensated by lower income tax expense, as explained above.


Business Outlook

We expect our net revenue in the second quarter of 2022 to be at least R$530 million, a 68% growth compared to our net revenue of R$315 million in the second quarter of 2021.

 

For the full year of 2022, we are raising our outlook and expect our net revenue to be at least R$2,300 million or USD442 million, a 59% growth compared to our net revenue of R$1,444 million in 2021. In addition, we estimate our adjusted EBITDA margin to be at least 20% for the full year of 2022. This guidance for 2022 assumes an average exchange rate of 5.20 Brazilian Reais to the U.S. dollar for the full year.

 

These expectations are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Basis of accounting and functional currency

CI&T maintains its books and records in Brazilian reais, the presentation currency for its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information and the functional currency of our operations in Brazil. CI&T prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, and International Financial Reporting Standard No 34—Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We regularly monitor certain financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. These non-IFRS financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Net Profit Margin, Net Revenue at Constant Currency and Net Revenue Increase at Constant Currency, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but not as substitutes for IFRS results. In addition, our calculation of these non-IFRS financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures are provided as additional information to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our operations.

CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments and other items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on IFRS reported results for the guidance period.

In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, we exclude cost components that are not related to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were: (i) depreciation and amortization related to costs of services provided; and (ii) stock options compensation plan expenses.


In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude components that are not related to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments were: (i) consulting expenses related to corporate reorganization and initial public offering expenses, as well as mergers and acquisitions activity; (ii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in the Chinese subsidiary; (iii) stock options compensation plan expenses; and (iv) non-cash expenses related to the inventory of property, plant, and equipment of the recently acquired Dextra.

 

In calculating Adjusted Net Profit, we exclude cost components that are not related to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were: (i) consulting expenses related to corporate reorganization and initial public offering expenses, as well as mergers and acquisitions activity, and (ii) non-cash expenses related to the inventory of property, plant, and equipment of the recently acquired Dextra.

We calculate Net Revenue at Constant Currency and Net Revenue Increase at Constant Currency by translating Net revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into Brazilian reais using the comparable foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

 

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

1            Reporting Entity

CI&T Inc. (“CI&T” and/or “Company”), previously named CI&T Cayman, is a publicly held company incorporated in the Cayman Islands in June 2021, headquartered at Rua Dr. Ricardo Benetton Martins, 1000, Pólis de Tecnologia, in the City of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil (see note 18.c). As a holding company, it is mainly engaged in the investment, as a partner or shareholder, in other companies, consortia or joint ventures in Brazil and other countries where most of the Company’s operations are located. The Company’s subsidiaries are mainly engaged in the development of customizable software through implementation of software solutions, including Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Analytics, Cloud and Mobility technologies. 

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”).

 

Unless otherwise indicated or if the context otherwise requires, all references in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements to “CI&T Brazil” refer to the subsidiary CI&T Software S.A.

 

On November 10, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) (see note 17) and offered 15,000,000 Class A common shares, of which 11,111,111 were offered by CI&T Inc. and 3,888,889 were offered by certain selling shareholders. The IPO price per Class A common share was US$15.00. On November 15, 2021, the IPO was concluded with the total offering of US$225,000, of which the Group received net proceeds of R$ 860,993 (US$156,667), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company incurred incremental costs directly attributable to the public offering in the amount of R$ 66,876, net of taxes. The Group Class A common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “CINT”.

 

  1. Corporate restructuring

CI&T Inc. to become the holding entity of CI&T Software S.A. (“CI&T Brazil”) in connection with the initial public offering. Prior to the IPO, CI&T Inc. had not begun operations, had nominal assets and liabilities, and no material contingent liabilities or commitments.

 

On October 04, 2021, CI&T established, as a sole member, the subsidiary CI&T Delaware LLC (“CI&T Delaware”). The main office is located at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware, 19808. On November 8, 2021, all CI&T Brazil’s shares were contributed to CI&T Delaware and, subsequently the CI&T Delaware’s shares were transferred to CI&T Inc. Until this corporate reorganization, CI&T Brazil, an operating company, was the ultimate holding of the Group, and it consolidated the results of all companies until that date.


The Group accounted for the restructuring as a business combination of entities under common control, and the pre-combination carrying amounts of CI&T Brazil are included in the CI&T’s consolidated financial statements with no fair value uplift. Thus, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect:

 


(i) The historical operating results and financial position of CI&T Brazil prior the restructuring;

March 31, 2022



(ii) The assets and liabilities of CI&T Brazil and its then subsidiaries at their historical cost;

(iii) The number of ordinary shares issued by CI&T, as a result of the restructuring is reflected retroactively to January 1, 2020, for purposes of calculating earnings per share;

(iv) CI&T Brazil shares were contributed in CI&T Delaware at its book value as at November 8, 2021;

(v) As the remaining equity reserves of CI&T Brazil are no longer applicable to CI&T, they were added to the initial capital reserve balance (see note 18.c).


2            Business combination

 

2.1 Business combination - Dextra

On June 26, 2021, the CI&T Brazil entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shareholding control of Dextra Investimentos S.A. (“Dextra Holding”) and its subsidiaries (“Dextra Group”). On July 22, 2021, the transaction was approved by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE). All conditions precedent were met on August 10, 2021, the date on which the closing term of the acquisition was formalized, and the CI&T Brazil obtained the shareholding control of the Dextra Group. Dextra Group is primarily involved in customized software development.

 

The total consideration of acquisition in the purchase agreement was R$800,000. The Company paid R$ 650,000 on August 10, 2021 and R$ 50,938 on December 02, 2021. The remaining balance will be paid on the first anniversary of the closing date, subject to the application of any purchase price adjustments (note 14). The Management revised the purchase price on the closing date (August 2021) based on the agreement, and reduced the price in the amount of R$ 16,427, thus the total of consideration transferred was R$ 783,573. On March 30, 2022, after new revision and agreement the reduction of adjusted price was confirmed at R$ 14,062.

Measurement of fair values

 

The following fair values have been determined on the assumptions:

 

     The fair value estimate for brands was calculated based on the “Relief from Royalty or Savings of Royalties” method, which estimates the asset's value based on hypothetical royalty payments that would be saved by the  asset holder compared to what would be paid for licensing the asset owned by third parties, considering its useful life. The useful life for brands is 15 months.

 

     The fair value estimate for customer relationship was calculated based on the multi-period excess earnings. Its useful life is 227 months.

 

d)     Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition has been recognized as follows:

5            Use of judgments and estimates

In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, Management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

 

a.            Judgments

Information about judgments made in the application of accounting policies that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

 


Note – 11.b - lease term: whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise extension options;

Note – 19 - revenue recognition: whether service revenue is recognized over time or at point in time.

 

b.            Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year is included in the following note:


  Note 2 – acquisition of subsidiaries: fair value of the consideration transferred, fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.

c.            Measurement of fair values

Several of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.


24

CI&T Inc.

Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

March 31, 2022


The Group has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair value that includes the review of significant fair value measurements, significant unobservable data and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of the accounting standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

 

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as much as possible. Fair values are classified at different levels in a hierarchy based on the information (inputs) used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 


Level 1: Quoted prices (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, except for quoted prices, included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).


Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability, which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

Additional information on the assumptions used to measure fair values is included in the following notes:


Note 2 – business combination - acquisition of subsidiaries;


Note 17 – share-based payment transactions; and


Note 24  financial instruments.

As of March 31, 2022 the balance of R$ 405,602 (US$ 78,070) (R$ 798,786 (US$ 143,139) as of December 31, 2021) is allocated between an interest-bearing account and time deposits. Both instruments are in USD, and they bear interest rates ranging from 0.12% to 0.65% p.a., and such accounts present immediate liquidity. The Company holds USD amount for short-term commitments in same currency. A foreign currency exposure arises from these financial investments held in USD, since the amount may be subject to a significant exchange rate once translated to BRL. Part of the Company’s financial investments is addressed for forecast transactions so hedge accounting is applied to hedge exposures to exchange variations (for further information about cash flow hedge accounting, see note 24).

Some of the Group’s leases have the option of an extension that can be exercised for an indefinite period, and in these cases the Group has already considered in the measurement of the lease amounts the extensions that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of properties (those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. The remained rental expenses for the period totaled R$ 1,717 as of March 31, 2022 (R$ 1,797 as of March 31, 2021).

As of March 31, 2022, the Group’s judicial deposits totaled R$ 6,101 (R$ 3,079 as of December 31, 2021), recognized in the statement of financial position, in non-current assets.

CI&T Inc.

Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

March 31, 2022

 

The significant lawsuits assessed as possible loss refer to:


(i) The labor infraction notices that addresses the hiring of employees with disabilities. The Group filed an administrative defense, but the notice was maintained. In February 2019, the Group appealed at administrative level and is awaiting the review.
(ii) Tax lawsuits related to non-contribution tax credits referring to payroll in the period from January 1 to December 31, 2011.
(iii) Civil lawsuit regarding an employee claiming alleged breach of employment contract by Dextra, therefore, requiring receipt of double amounts (undue refund).


16            Employee benefits

The Group provides its employees with benefits that include medical care, dental care and life insurance during their employment. These benefits are paid by the Group and according to the category of health plans elected, with a consideration paid by the employee (note 24.2.c).

 

Additionally, the Group offers its employees the option to adhere to a private pension plan to which voluntary contributions are made. For CI&T Brazil, the contributions are made exclusively by the participants; for CI&T US, CI&T UK and CI&T Canada the companies contribute with the same amount as the participants up to 4% of the employee salary. In both scenarios there is no consideration to be paid by the subsidiaries, as there are no post-employment obligations. The nature of the plan allows employees to suspend or discontinue their contributions at any time and allows the Management to transfer the portfolio to another administrator.

 

The Group does not have additional post-employment obligations and none other long-term benefits, such as time-of-service leave, lifetime health plan and other time-service benefits.

 

17            Stock option plan

 

 a.           Plan in force

On March 30, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the 1st and 2nd stock option programs and, on February 26, 2021, approved the 3rd and 4th stock option programs, through which selected executives were granted options that confer the right to exercise the stock purchase, subject to certain conditions under the “Stock Option Plan”, with the option to settle in equity and cash.

 

On October 29, 2021, in connection with a restructuring (see note 1.a), the Board of Directors approved the migration of the plan from the subsidiary CI&T Brazil to the Company. The Company recognized to the rights of each participant accrued under the corresponding plan and related programs and shall assume all obligations of CI&T Brazil under such plan. Since that, the Company remeasured the fair value of the stock options granted, both of the Company and of the subsidiary CI&T Brazil on the date of the plan migration. The remeasurement to fair value of the stock options granted was immaterial.

 

The options already granted become options granted under the CI&T Cayman Plan, provided that each option shall confer the right to acquire one class A common share issued by Company.

 

Considering that the number of shares forming Company’s capital stock is approximately 68.14 times the number of shares forming the subsidiary CI&T Brazil, the number of granted options and the exercise price were adjusted in the same proportion.

The Board of Directors is entitled to select the participants of the program, at its sole discretion, among the Management, executives, employees and service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries. Additionally, the Board of Directors defines the terms of each program, when the option granted to the participants will become eligible for exercise (“vesting period”), including the possibility of anticipating the vesting period.

 

The fair value of the stock options granted is estimated on the grant date, based on the Black-Scholes model, which considers the terms and conditions for granting the shares.

March 31, 2022


On October 29, 2021, as a result of the corporate reorganization, the exercise price of the options changed from R$ 653.21 to R$ 9.58 for the 1st and 2nd programs and changed from R$ 1,352.00 to R$ 19.84 for the 3rd and 4th programs, to be updated according to the official national price index (IPCA / IBGE). The participants must pay the exercise price in cash and the program does not provide for alternatives for paying cash back to participants.


In the period from January to March 2022, 428,495 ordinary shares were issued as a result of the exercise of vested options arising from the share option programs (see note 18.a). Options were exercised at a price of R$ 10,89 for 1st and 2nd stock option programs and R$ 21,68 for 3rd and 4th stock option programs.


In the year ended on March 31, 2022, the Group recognized in the statement of profit or loss an amount of R$ 144 (R$ 53 as of March 31, 2021), see details in item “e”.


b.            Stock option program (settled in cash)

As described above, stock option program settled in cash was also migrated from the subsidiary CI&T Brazil to the Company. The number of granted options was proportionally adjusted by the equivalent of the Company's shares.


The amount to be settled in cash is based on the increase of the Group’s share price between the grant date and the exercise date.

c.            Shares granted to executive officers

In August 2017, the Company granted to the former controlling shareholders of the subsidiary Comrade, Inc. (later merged into CI&T, Inc.) the right to receive 16,530 shares. Comrade’s shareholders became executives of the Group, and the granting of the shares is conditioned to continuing employment in the Group for a period of four years from the acquisition date of Comrade. The fair value of the shares was estimated on the acquisition date of the subsidiary, using the “Black-Scholes” pricing model, in the amount of R$ 5,120.

 

As of March 31, 2022, there was no impact on profit or loss (R$104 as of March 31, 2021), see details below in item “c” – expenses recognized in profit or loss.

 

On October 8, 2021, the executive officers exercised the options through the issuance of 16,530 new common shares, with no par value, at the total issuance price of R$ 28,697, subscribed by McMillian Family Trust. The subscribed shares were paid through the transfer of 15,896 shares issued by the subsidiary CI&T Inc to the subsidiary CI&T Brazil.

This transaction occurred through the transfer of the shares of its shareholders from CI&T Brazil to CI&T Delaware and, subsequently, to CI&T, which resulted in the capital increase of 121,086,781 shares at par value of R$ 0.00027 per share.

 

Share-based compensation

 

The Group has share-based compensation plans that are accounted as Capital reserve.

Performance obligations and revenue recognition policies 

The revenue is measure based on the consideration specified in the contract with the client. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control over the product or service to the customer. 

 

The table below provides information on the nature and timing of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including the revenue recognition policies listed in the main types of services: 

 

Type of service 

Nature and timing of performance obligations 

Revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15

Services provision: 
- software development; 
- software maintenance; 
- consultancy. 

The Group has determined that the customer controls all work in progress as the services are provided. This is because, according to these contracts, services are provided according to the client’s specifications and, if a contract is terminated by the client, the Group will be entitled to reimbursement of the costs incurred to date, including a reasonable margin. 

 

Invoices are issued in accordance with contractual terms and are usually paid on average in 70 days. Unbilled amounts are presented as contract assets. 

 

The associated revenue and costs are recognized over time. The progress of the performance obligation is measured based on the hours incurred.

 

Software License Agency 

The Group acts as an agent in software license agreements between the developer and the customer. 

 

Invoices (related to agency fees) are issued in accordance with the contractual terms and are generally paid on average within 45 days. 

Revenue related to fees as agent is recognized when contracts are entered into.

 

Contract assets

Contract assets relate mainly to the Group’s rights to consideration for services performed, for which control has been transferred to the client, but not invoiced on the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the Group issues an invoice to the client.

 

The balances from contract assets are shown and segregated in the statement of financial position as follows:

24            Financial instruments and risk management


24.1            Financial instrument categories

The Group maintains operations with derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. These instruments are managed to assure liquidity and profitability. The control policy consists of monitoring the terms contracted against the terms and condition current in the market. The Company does not make investments of a speculative nature in derivatives or any other risk assets (see note 6.2).


The estimated fair value of the Group's financial instruments considered the following methods and assumptions:

 Cash and cash equivalents and financial investment: recognized at cost plus income earned up to the closing date of the financial statements, which approximate their fair value.
Trade receivables: arise directly from the Group's operations, classified at amortized cost, are recorded at their original values, adjusted based on the exchange rate changes, when applicable, and subject to a provision for losses. Their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Loans and borrowings: classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and are recorded at their contractual values. The contractual flow of loans and borrowings is adjusted to the future value of the liabilities considering the interest until maturity.
Derivative financial instruments: The Group used derivative financial instruments to manage the interest rate risk exposure. This risk arises from the possibility of the Group incurring losses because of interest rate fluctuations that increase finance costs related to loans. Since April, 2021, the Group has decided to not engage in new derivative agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk exposure. Existing contracts were maintained: NDFs — non-deliverable forwards are used for operations with derivative instruments, for the discounted cash flow model for fair value calculation, with future dollar and interest assumptions obtained at B3 — Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão. Black and Scholes fair value statistical model is used for transactions with currency option (dollar), with future dollar and interest assumption obtained at B3. The financial instruments were valued by calculating the present value through the use of market curves that impact the specific instrument on the calculation dates. For this, future curves of USD Libor 3M, exchange coupon, and currency quotation are used. For interest rate swaps, the present value of the asset position and the liability position, both are estimated by discounting cash flows at the interest rate of the currency in which the swap is denominated. The difference between the present value of the asset and the liability position of the swap generates its fair value.

The Group is exposed to market risks resulting from the normal course of its activities, such as inflation, interest rates and exchange rate changes.

 

Thus, the Group's operating results may be affected by changes in national economic policy, especially regarding short and long-term interest rates, inflation targets and exchange rate policy. Exposures to market risk are measured by sensitivity analysis.

 

a.1            Foreign currency – Exchange rate changes             

Foreign currency risk is inherent to the Group’s business model. The Group’s revenue is mainly denominated in foreign currency and, therefore, is exposed to exchange rate changes. The Group’s expenses, on the other hand, are mainly denominated in the Group’s functional currency (Brazilian Reais) and, therefore, are not exposed to exchange rate changes. The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk on its Financial Investments, suppliers and other payables, trade receivables, loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and derivatives. See the total amount exposure to foreign currency in note 24.a.2.

 

a.2            Cash flow hedge for the Group's future investments:

In January 2022, the Group decided to apply hedge accounting for certain financial instruments (non-derivatives) (see note 2.2.), with the purpose of hedging exchange rates in transactions related to highly probable risk operations.

Based on the Group's risk management and considering the existing natural hedge on exchange rate variations, the Group designates hedge relationships between “highly probable future acquisitions” (hedged item) and non-derivative US dollar financial investments (hedging instruments), in order to their exchange effects are recognized at the same time in the statements of profit or loss.

Exchange rate variations in proportions of cash flows from financial investments in US dollars (non-derivative financial instruments) are designated as hedging instruments. At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including identification of: (i) the hedging instrument; (ii) the hedged item; (iii) the nature of the risk being hedged; and (iv) the assessment whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.

At January 3rd, 2022, the Company has designated hedge relationships “highly probable future acquisitionsand non-derivative US dollar financial investment per a total amount of US$ 104,615. On January 27, 2021, as mentioned in note 2.2, the Company has acquired the Somo Group. In connection with this acquisition, an amount of US$64,615 was realized to investments. The remaining balance of US$40,000 as of March 31, 2022 is still aligned to highly probable future acquisitions for the year of 2022. The Group monitors on the monthly basis the relationships between the hedge item and hedging instruments.

See below the movement of exchange variation accumulated in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2022, realized by investments in acquisitions and to be realized by future investments in acquisitions:

March 31, 2022

 

As of March 31, 2022, the annual expectation of realization of the exchange variation balance accumulated in equity is R$ 17,168.

The individual hedge relationships are established on a one-to-one basis, that is, the “highly probable future acquisitions” of each month and the proportions of cash flows from financial investments made abroad, used in each relationship and individual hedge, have the same face value in US dollars. The Company considers as “highly probable future acquisitions” only a part of its total planned acquisitions.

The exposure of the Group's future investments in acquisitions in hard currency to the risk of variations in the R$/US$ exchange rate (liability position) is offset by an inverse exposure equivalent to its US dollars financial investments (asset position) to the same type of risk.

For all other hedged forecast transactions, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.

Hedge relationships may be discontinued and/or restarted in compliance with the risk management strategy. In this sense, such evaluations are carried out quarterly. In such hedges, the effective portion of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from hedging instruments is recognized in equity, in other comprehensive income, and transferred to statements of profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss for the period. If the future investments (hedged item) are no longer considered highly probable, the hedge relationship is revoked, and the exchange variation accumulated up to the date of revocation is reclassified to profit or loss.

Additionally, when a financial instrument designated as a hedging instrument expires or is settled, the Group may replace it with another financial instrument, in order to ensure the continuity of the hedging relationship. Similarly, when a transaction designated as a hedged item takes place, the Group may designate the financial instrument that hedged that transaction as a hedging instrument in a new hedging relationship. The ineffective portion of exchange rate variations arising from hedging instruments is recorded in the financial result for the period. The Group decided to apply cash flow hedge accounting and financial instruments designated for hedge accounting were classified as cash flow hedges. The effective amount of gain or loss on the instrument is accounted for under the heading “Other comprehensive income” and the ineffective amount under the heading of “Profit or loss”, with the accumulated gains and losses recognized in profit or loss or balance sheet.

a.3            Exchange rate risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases, receivables, and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

a.4            Interest rate risk

Derives from the possibility of the Group incurring gains or losses resulting from changes in interest rates applicable to its financial assets and liabilities. The Group may also enter into derivative contracts in order to mitigate this risk.

Sensitivity analysis of non-derivative financial instruments

Exchange rate fluctuation and changes in interest rates may positively or adversely affect the financial statements, due to an increase or decrease in the balances of trade receivables and investments in foreign currency and the variation in the balances of financial investments and loans and borrowings.

 

The Group mitigates its risks relating to non-derivative financial assets and liabilities substantially, through the contracting of derivative financial instruments and natural hedge, balancing financial assets and liabilities in foreign currency. Accordingly, the Group identified the main risk factors that may generate losses for its operations with derivative financial instruments and this sensitivity analysis is based on three scenarios that may impact the Group’s future results and cash flows, as described below:


(i) Probable scenario: The Group’s projections, based on internal and external data, considered: (i) the interest rate index in order to analyze the sensitivity of the index in short-term investments, whose average was 11.74% for CDI and loans and borrowings, whose average was 1.43% for Libor (only applicable for some loans and borrowings); (ii) the exchange rate of R$5.20 USD, related to the closing rate projected by the Company, for the purposes of analyzing the foreign exchange exposure. Based on these factors, variations in the adverse and remote scenarios were calculated.
(ii) Adverse scenario: The adverse scenario rate is half the difference between the probable rate and the remote rate.
(iii) Remote scenario: the highest projection expected by the Company for the next 12 months.


For each scenario, the gross finance income or finance costs were calculated, excluding taxes and the maturity flow of each agreement. The base date considered was March 31, 2022, projecting the indexes for one year and verifying their sensitivity in each scenario.

b.            Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will not comply with its contractual obligations, causing the Group to incur financial losses. Credit risk is the risk of a counterparty in a business transaction not complying with an obligation provided by a financial instrument or an agreement with a client, which would cause financial loss. To mitigate these risks, the Group analyses the financial and equity condition of its counterparties, as well as the definition of credit limits and permanent monitoring of outstanding positions.

 

The Group applies the simplified standard approach to commercial financial assets, where the provision for losses is analyzed over the remaining life of the asset.

 

In addition, the Group is exposed to credit risk with respect to financial guarantees granted to banks.

 

The Group held cash and cash equivalents of R$ 128,775 on March 31, 2022 (R$ 135,727 as of December 31, 2021) and financial investments of R$ 405,602 at March 31, 2022 (R$ 798,786 as of December 31, 2021). The cash and cash equivalents and financial investments are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated BB- to A+, based on Standard & Poor’s ratings.

 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum credit risk exposure on the date of the financial statements is:

c.            Liquidity risk

The Group monitors liquidity risk by managing its cash resources and financial investments.

 

Liquidity risk is also managed by the Group through its cash flow projection, which aims to ensure the availability of funds to meet the Group’s both operational and financial obligations.

 

The Group also maintains approved credit lines with financial institutions, and other indebtedness such as working capital agreements in order to adequate levels of liquidity in the short, medium and long terms.

 

The maturities of the long-term installments of the loans are described in note 12.

24.3            Derivative financial instruments

The Group held derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. As of March 31, 2022, the Group no more entered into purchase and sale agreement for derivative financial instruments (NDFs).

 

Fair value estimated for derivative financial instruments contracted by the Group was determined according to information available in the market, mainly through financial institutions and specific methodologies of assessment. However, considerable judgment is necessary to understand market data in order to produce the fair value estimate for each operation. Consequently, the estimates do not necessarily indicate the amounts that will be effectively realized at settlement.

 

For comparison purpose, as of December 31, 2021, the Group had the following agreements for financial derivatives (NDFs):
