Business Outlook

Although the macroeconomic scenario remains uncertain, we see VTEX well positioned to capture an attractive market opportunity. We are closely monitoring the performance of our customers and sales funnel and taking necessary actions to ensure our business' sustainable growth and success. We remain encouraged by our sales momentum and operational leverage, despite weakness in Argentina.

In this context, we are currently targeting revenue for the second quarter of 2024 in the US$54.5 million to US$56.0 million range, implying a YoY growth of 18% on an FX neutral basis in the middle of the range.

For the full year 2024, we continue executing our strategy for profitable growth. Recognizing heightened volatility in Argentina's macro situation, we are targeting FX neutral YoY revenue growth of 16% to 20%, implying a range of US$234 million to US$243 million based on April's average FX rate. Further demonstrating our operational leverage, we are targeting free cash flow and non-GAAP operating income margins of high single digits.

We are confident in VTEX's ability to navigate the uncertainties posed by the current macroeconomic scenario. We are empowering our customers to digitally transform their commerce operations while helping them to outperform the market.
