Comments on the 3Q23 financial performance
The net revenue was R$529.1 million in 3Q23, a decline of 5.4% compared to 3Q22, or a reduction of 1.7% at constant currency. In the third quarter of 2023, 44% of the revenue came from Latam, 42% from North America, 10% from Europe and 4% from Asia Pacific.
The cost of services provided in 3Q23 was R$356.8 million, 1.9% lower than in 3Q22, and the gross profit was R$172.3 million. The Adjusted Gross Profit in 3Q23 was R$184.4 million, with an Adjusted Gross Profit margin of 34.8%.
In 3Q23, selling, general and administrative (SG&A), and other operating expenses were R$101.8 million, 22.3% lower than in 3Q22. This reduction can be primarily attributed to the non-recurring M&A expenses incurred in 2022 and our efforts to optimize operational expenses in 2023.
Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$22.9 million in 3Q23, a decrease of 2.9% compared to 3Q22, explained by the reduction of real estate property leases. Amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies was R$10.7 million in 3Q23, a 4.6% increase compared to 3Q22.
In 3Q23, the Adjusted EBITDA was R$97.8 million, a reduction of 7.1% compared to 3Q22, mainly due to the decline in the gross profit margin, partially offset by the improvement in SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.5% in the quarter.
In 3Q23, net financial expenses were R$20.3 million, R$12.8 million higher than in 3Q22, mainly driven by lower foreign exchange (FX) gains in the comparable period and a derivative gain from an interest rate swap that benefited our results in 3Q22.
In 3Q23, income tax expense was R$13.2 million, 20.4% lower than in 3Q22, mainly due to the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes from the Ntersol acquisition. The income tax paid (cash effect) was R$6.8 million, equivalent to a cash tax rate of 13.8%.
The net profit was R$36.2 million in 3Q23, 11% lower than 3Q22. Adjusted Net Profit was R$45.5 million, a decrease of 32.4% compared to 3Q22, mainly due to higher net financial expenses, as aforementioned. Consequently, the Adjusted Net Profit margin was 8.6%.
Business Outlook
We expect our net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 to be in the range of R$519 million to R$ 540 million on a reported basis (average FX rate of 4.95 BRL/USD in 4Q23).
For the full year of 2023, we expect our net revenue growth to be in the range of 4.0% to 5.0% year-over-year, assuming a constant currency outlook (average FX rate of 5.17 BRL/USD in 2022). In addition, we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be at least 19% for the full year of 2023.
These expectations are forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 16, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program, pursuant to which CI&T may repurchase up to 2.5 million of its outstanding class A common shares up to the end of 2024.

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 statements, and the functional currency of our operations in Brazil. CI&T prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements 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 Growth 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 differ from those 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 our operations’ historical and current financial performance.
CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-IFRS Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it is unable to reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses, the tax effect of non-IFRS adjustments, foreign currency exchange gains/losses, 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.
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 average rates from the prior period to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations.
In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, we exclude cost components unrelated 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-based compensation expenses.
In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments were: (i) stock-based compensation expenses; (ii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in the Chinese subsidiary; and (iii) acquisition-related expenses, including present value and fair value adjustment on accounts payable for business acquired , consulting expenses, and retention packages.
In calculating Adjusted Net Profit, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods herein, the adjustments applied were acquisition-related expenses, including amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, present value and fair value adjustment on accounts payable for business acquired , consulting expenses, and retention packages.

3 Basis of accounting
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine-month ended September 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022. This financial information does not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
The issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information were authorized for issue by the Company’s Management and Audit Committee on November 16, 2023.
4 Functional and presentation currency
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais (“R$”), which is the Company's functional currency. All balances are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.
The main exchange rates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements are Brazilian Reais (“R$”), US dollar (“US$”), Euro (“€”), Australian dollar (“AU$”), Pound sterling (“£”), Yen (“¥”), Chinese Yuan (“¥”) and Colombian Peso (“COL$”) as the Company’s subsidiaries have their functional currencies.
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.
The significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
a. Measurement of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair value. This 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 categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
CI&T Inc.
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
September 30, 2023
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the changes have occurred.
The significant information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values used by Management were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
6 Change in accounting policy
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(i) Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction
The Group has adopted ‘Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 – Income Tax’ from 1 January 2023. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences – e.g. leases and decommissioning liabilities. For leases and decommissioning liabilities, an entity is required to recognize the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all transactions, an entity applies the amendments to transactions that occur after the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The Group previously accounted for deferred tax on leases applying the integrally linked approach, resulting in a similar outcome to the amendments, except that the deferred tax asset or liability was recognized on a net basis. Following the amendments, the Group has recognized a separate deferred tax asset in relation to its lease liabilities and deferred tax liability in relation to its right-of-use assets. However, there was no impact on the statement of financial position because the balances qualify for offset under paragraph 74 of IAS 12. There was also no impact on the opening retained earnings as of 1 January 2022 as a result of the change. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of deferred tax assets is R$ 39,736 (R$ 29,637 as of December 31, 2022) and deferred tax liabilities is R$ 36,844 (R$ 27,025 as of December 31, 2022).
The change in accounting policy will also be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023 the balance of R$ 39,192 (R$ 96,299 as of December 31, 2022) is allocated between an interest-bearing account and Sweep. Both instruments are in US$ and £, and they bear interest rates ranging from 0.6% to 3.7% p.a. (from 0.57% to 4.2% p.a. on December 31, 2022), and such accounts present immediate liquidity. The Company holds US$ and £ amounts for short-term commitments in the same currencies. A foreign currency exposure arises from these financial investments held in US$ and £, since the amount may be subject to a significant exchange rate variation once translated to R$.

The loans and borrowings are not secured over land and buildings, inventories and trade receivables.
Loans and borrowings covenants
The loans and borrowings are subject to covenants, which establish the early maturity of debts. Early maturity of the loans could be caused by:
- Disposal, merger, incorporation, spin-off, or any other corporate reorganization process that implies a change in the shareholding control, without prior consent from the creditor;
- Some of the debt contracts held by the Group include covenants that demand the maintenance of specific ratios, such as the Net Debt to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) ratio.
The Group has complied with these covenants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Group is a party to civil, labor and tax lawsuits, whose likelihood of loss is regarded as possible, for which no provision was recorded, in the amount of R$ 10,350 as of September 30, 2023 (R$ 10,563 as of December 31, 2022).
Judicial deposits
As of September 30, 2023, the Group’s judicial deposits totaled R$ 9,995 (R$ 9,819 as of December 31, 2022), recognized in the statement of financial position, in non-current assets. Of this amount, R$ 9,723 (R$ 9,405 as of December 31, 2022) refer to tax lawsuits and R$ 272 (R$ 415 as of December 31, 2022) refer to labor lawsuits.
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.
Additionally, the Group offers its employees the option to participate in a private pension plan to which voluntary contributions are made. For CI&T Inc. (“CI&T US”), CI&T UK Limited (“CI&T UK”) and CI&T Software Inc. (“CI&T Canada”), the subsidiaries 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.

22 Income tax and social contribution
Income tax expenses are recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit (loss) before tax for interim reporting period based on the Management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. Income tax expenses include current and deferred tax and social contribution on net profit.
The Group’s consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the nine-month ended September 30, 2023 was 21% and for the nine-month ended September 30, 2022 was 34%.
23 Financial instruments and risk management
23.1 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.
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 an expected credit loss. Their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
CI&T Inc.
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
September 30, 2023
- 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 financial instruments were valued by calculating the present value using market curves that impact the specific instrument on the calculation dates. For this, future curves of CDI and SOFR), exchange coupon, and currency quotation are used. For interest rate swaps, the present value of the asset position and the liability position are both 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. For exchange forward swaps, the present value of the asset position and the liability position are both estimated by discounting cash flows at the rate of 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.
- Non-derivatives financial instruments: Based on the Group's risk management and considering the existing natural hedge on exchange rate variations, the Group designated hedge relationships between “highly probable future transactions” (hedged item) and non-derivative financial instruments (hedging instruments), and their exchange effects were recognized at the same time in the other comprehensive income. The exchange rate variations in proportions of cash flows from non-derivative financial instruments were designated as hedging instruments. At the inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documented the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documented 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.

23.2 Financial risk management
The Group’s operations are subject to the following risk factors:
a. Market risks
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 nationals’ economics policies, especially regarding short and long-term interest rates, inflation targets and exchange rate policy. Exposures to market risk are measured by sensitivity analysis.
CI&T Inc.
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
September 30, 2023
LIBOR to SOFR transition
According to some financial market facts, the Libor rate has become a less reliable reference. The main substitute for Libor is SOFR. Libor was discontinued on June 30, 2023, which was the deadline for financial institutions to deliver the last update for Libor. The clauses automatically change instruments from USD LIBOR to SOFR as USD LIBOR ceases. This replacement of rates did not impact on the Group's debt, as there is no relevant difference between the reference indexes.
a.1 Foreign currency – Exchange rate changes risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange 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.
Therefore, foreign exchange risk is inherent to the Group’s business model. The Group’s revenue is mainly denominated in foreign currency and, consequently, 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, consequently, 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, accounts payable for business combination, lease liabilities and derivatives. See below the total exposure to foreign currency:

Cash flow hedge for the Group's future Revenues
Considering the natural hedge and the risk management strategy, the Group designates hedging relationships to account for the effects of the existing hedge between a foreign exchange gain or loss from proportions of its long-term debt obligations (denominated in U.S. dollars) and foreign exchange gain or loss of its highly probable U.S. dollar denominated future export revenues, so that gains or losses associated with the hedged transaction (the highly probable future exports) and the hedging instrument (debt obligations) are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the same periods in which they will occur.

The schedule of cash flow hedge involving the Company´s future exports as of September 30, 2023 is set below:
| | | | | Present value of hedging instrument notional value at September 30, 2023 |
Hedging Instrument | Hedged Transaction | Nature of the Risk | Maturity Date | USD | BRL |
Foreign exchange gains and losses on proportion of non-derivative financial instruments cash flows | Foreign exchange gains and losses of highly probable future monthly exports revenues | Foreign Currency - Real vs U.S. Dollar Spot Rate | 2024 to 2026 | | |
Export credit note (NCE) | | | 2026 | 22,500 | 112,671 |
Advance on Foreign Exchange Contract (ACC) | | | 2024 | 10,000 | 50,076 |
Total amounts designated as of September 30, 2023 | | | | 32,500 | 162,747 |
Changes in the fair value of US$ foreign exchange debt obligation (non-derivative financial instruments) designated as effective cash flow hedges have their effective component recorded in equity, other comprehensive income and the ineffective component recorded in statement of profit or loss, in finance income (expense). The amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the years in which the hedged item affects the result, the effects of which are appropriated to the result, in order to minimize the variations in the hedged item.
The individual hedge relationships are established on a one-to-one basis, that is, the “highly probable exports” of each month and the proportions of cash flows from foreign exchange debt obligation made abroad, used in each relationship and individual hedge, have the same face value in US dollars.
The exposure of the Group's future exports revenues 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 debt (asset position) to the same type of risk.

a.2 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. See note 23.2.a.3 the sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk.
a.3 Sensitivity analysis of non-derivative financial instruments
Exchange rate fluctuation and changes in interest rates may positively or adversely affect the financial statements.
The Group mitigates its risks relating to non-derivative financial assets and liabilities substantially through the contracting of derivative financial instruments. 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 containing appreciation and depreciation 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 the highest projection expected by the Company for the next 12 months: (i) the interest rate index in order to analyze the sensitivity of the index in short-term investments and loans and borrowings was 12.65% for CDI and 5.40% for SOFR; (ii) the exchange rate of R$ 4.98 for US$ and R$ 6.12 for £, related to the closing rate projected by the Company, for the purposes of analyzing the foreign exchange exposure. Based on these factors, variations (appreciation/depreciation and increase/decrease) were calculated in the adverse and remote scenarios. |
(ii) | Adverse scenario: considered a variation of 25% in the main risk factor of each transaction. |
(iii) | Remote scenario: considered a variation of 50% in the main risk factor of each transaction. |
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 September 30, 2023, 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 analyzes the financial and equity condition of its counterparties, as well as the definition of credit limits and permanent monitoring of outstanding positions.

23.3 Derivative financial instruments
The Group held derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
The Group entered into an interest rate swap transaction with the purpose of hedging the exposure to variable interest rate related to the Export Credit Note – NCE.
In May 2022, the Group entered a swap operation exchanging the CDI based rate to a US$ prefixed rate, related to a portion of an Export Credit Note - NCE.
The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments, as reported to the Group’s Management, is as follows:
