Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “CI&T” or the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us” or similar terms refer to CI&T Inc, together with its subsidiaries.
The term “Brazil” refers to the Federative Republic of Brazil and the phrase “Brazilian government” refers to the federal government of Brazil. “Central Bank” refers to the Brazilian Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil). References in the report to “real,” “reais” or “R$” refer to the Brazilian real, the official currency of Brazil and references to “U.S. dollar,” “U.S. dollars” or “US$” refer to U.S. dollars, the official currency of the United States.
All references to “IFRS” are to International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the IASB.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company, incorporated with an indefinite term and limited liability on June 7, 2021 for purposes of carrying out our initial public offering. Until the contribution of shares of CI&T Software S.A., or CI&T Brazil, to us prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, we had not commenced operations and had only nominal assets and liabilities and no material contingent liabilities or commitments. On October 4, 2021, we established, as a sole member, our subsidiary CI&T Delaware LLC, or CI&T Delaware. 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 our group, and it consolidated the results of all companies until that date. We 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, our consolidated financial statements reflect:
(i) The historical operating results and financial position of CI&T Brazil prior to the restructuring;
(ii) Our consolidated results following the restructuring;
(iii) The assets and liabilities of CI&T Brazil and its then subsidiaries at their historical cost;
(iv) 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;
(v) CI&T Brazil shares were contributed in CI&T Delaware at its book value as at November 8, 2021;
(vi) As the remaining equity reserves of CI&T Brazil are no longer applicable, they were added to our initial capital reserve balance.
We maintain our books and records in Brazilian reais, the functional currency of our operations in Brazil and the presentation currency for our financial statements. Our annual consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB. Unless otherwise noted, the financial information presented herein has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, together with the accompanying notes thereto. All references herein to “our financial statements” and “our audited consolidated financial statements” are to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
This financial information should be read in conjunction with “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this annual report.
Solely for the convenience of the reader, we have translated some of the real amounts included in this report from reais into U.S. dollars. You should not construe these translations as representations by us that the amounts actually represent these U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rates indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, we have translated real amounts into U.S. dollars using a rate of R$5.2177 to US$1.00, the commercial selling rate for U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2022, as reported by the Brazilian Central Bank.
Special Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This report presents our 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, which are non-IFRS financial measures used by management in the evaluation of our performance. A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure.
We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as Gross Profit, adjusted to exclude costs and expenses that do not relate to the direct management of our services (depreciation and amortization related to costs of services provided and stock-based compensation expenses). We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit Margin by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit by the Net Revenue of the same period.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as Net Profit, plus net finance costs, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and (i) stock-based compensation expenses; (ii) consulting expenses related to the initial public offering and corporate reorganization; (iii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in the Chinese subsidiary; (iv) non-cash expenses related to the impairment associated with the discontinuation of certain investments made by Dextra on intangible assets related to digital platforms; and (v) acquisition-related expenses: fair value adjustment on accounts payable for business combination, consulting expenses, and retention packages. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the Net Revenue of the same period. We make these adjustments to isolate our operating results in a given period, in order to verify whether we are being efficient in generating operating profits, or how much of our Net profit is being consumed by operating costs, and how much is reverting to operating profitability.
We calculate Adjusted Net Profit as Net Profit, adjusted to exclude (i) consulting expenses related to the initial public offering and corporate reorganization; (ii) non-cash expenses related to the impairment associated with the discontinuation of certain investments made by Dextra on intangible assets related to digital platforms; and (iii) acquisition-related expenses: amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, fair value adjustment on accounts payable for business combination, consulting expenses, and retention packages. We calculate Adjusted Net Profit Margin by dividing it by Net Revenue for the same period.
We calculate Net Revenue at Constant Currency and Net Revenue Growth 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. For example, the comparable rates in effect for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 were used to convert revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective period.
We present 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 because management uses them in evaluating our performance and we believe these measures provide investors with a supplemental measure of the financial performance of our core operations that facilitates period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis.
The non-IFRS financial measures described in this report are not a substitute for the IFRS measures of earnings. Additionally, our calculations of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Profit may be different from the calculations used by other companies, including our competitors, and therefore, our measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. For a reconciliation of 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, each to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Non-IFRS Measures.”
