Double-digit growth in both top-line and
profitability, with strong EBITDA and Cashflow
LTM Normalized EBITDA of BRL 135.2
million, on track to meet 2024 guidance
Official launch of Zenvia Customer Cloud in
October 2024
SÃO PAULO, Nov. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zenvia Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENV), the
leading cloud-based CX solution in Latin
America empowering companies to craft personal, engaging and
fluid experiences throughout the customer journey, today reported
its operational and financial metrics for the third quarter and
nine months of 2024.
Cassio Bobsin, Founder &
CEO of ZENVIA, said: "The highlight this quarter was the
conclusion of the strategic plan we initiated back in 2018, that
allowed us to officially launch the Zenvia Customer Cloud, a
significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing customer
relationships through practical, AI-driven solutions. Early
adopters have already seen improvements in lead quality, conversion
rates, and customer satisfaction, demonstrating the immediate value
of this technology. At the same time, this launch is the
foundation stone for Zenvia's CX SaaS strategy for the next five
years. Alongside this milestone, we have made strides in
streamlining our operations and becoming more efficient, resulting
in a notable YoY reduction in G&A expenses as a percentage of
revenue. The rollout of Zenvia Customer Cloud and our increased
operational efficiency together reflect our focus on enabling more
informed and personalized customer interactions while delivering
value both to our clients and shareholders."
Shay Chor, CFO & IRO of
ZENVIA, said: "This quarter, we accelerated our organic
expansion with double-digit growth in both revenue and
profitability. We were able to capitalize on unique temporary
revenue opportunities in our CPaaS segment, while in the SaaS
segment we saw significant growth with SMBs. At the same time, the
combination of stronger revenues and strict expense control
resulted in our highest quarterly EBITDA in three years, putting us
on track to meet our full year guidance. Last but not least,
we continue to take advantage of working capital opportunities to
ensure EBITDA is converted into cash."

In December 2023, the
Company identified that the allowance for expected credit losses
and cost with amortization of intangibles was understated. The
calculation was reassessed in the annual financial statements and
Management has retrospectively revised the first six months of 2023
for comparison purposes.

We define an Active
Customer as an account (based on a corporate taxpayer registration
number) at the end of any period that was the source of any amount
of revenue for us in the preceding three months. We classify a
customer from which we generated no revenue in the preceding three
months as an Inactive Customer. The consolidated number of Total
Active Customers doesn't reflect the sum of SaaS and CPaaS Clients,
as there is cross selling between them.

Highlights Q3 2024
- Revenues totaled BRL 284.4
million, up 30% when compared to BRL
218.6 million in Q3 2023 as a result of both SaaS (+16%) and
CPaaS (+37%) YoY expansion. CPaaS saw abnormally high temporary
volumes with certain customers, while SaaS grew mainly from small
and medium businesses.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit of BRL
102.5 million was up 22% YoY, while Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross
Margin was down by 2.3 percentage points landing at 36.0%. This
decrease is mainly due to:
(i) Higher CPaaS mix in the period due to
the specific one-off volumes, which were opportunistic for revenue.
We don't expect this same volume level in Q4 2024.
(ii) Lower SaaS margins due to tighter margins from
enterprises, which continue to reflect a very competitive
environment, more than offsetting the better small and medium
business mix.
- Total active customers were 12.2k, being 6.4k
from SaaS and 6.0k from CPaaS. As
mentioned last quarter, this YoY decrease reflects a client-base
cleanup which took place in Q2 2024.
- Normalized EBITDA was positive BRL 41.2
million in the quarter, up 153.1% from Q3 2023, benefiting
from higher revenues and strict expense control. This was our
highest quarterly EBITDA in three years.
- Cash Balance of BR 102.7 million, a sequential increase of
BRL 13.3 million as a direct result
of our focus on cash preservation without jeopardizing our
sustainable growth, including the continued use of working capital
instruments.
- On October 15, Zenvia announced
the official launch of Zenvia Customer Cloud, its comprehensive
AI-powered solution designed to transform the customer experience
by integrating solutions across all customer journey stages—from
marketing and sales to service and relationship management. The
Zenvia Customer Cloud allows companies to manage customer
interactions across multiple channels, including WhatsApp, email,
SMS, and apps, within a single, centralized platform. This unified
approach streamlines processes, reducing the need for multiple
software solutions, while increasing productivity through
intelligent automation. The platform leverages AI-enabled
automation to enhance productivity and efficiency, positioning
Zenvia for strong, profitable growth while providing deeper
insights into customer behavior.
Highlights 9M 2024
- Revenues totaled BRL 728.2
million, up 23% when compared to BRL
590.6 million in 9M 2023 as a
result of both SaaS (+15%) and CPaaS (+28%) YoY expansion.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit of BRL
296.3 million was up 14% YoY while Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross
Margin was down 3.2 percentage points YoY to 40.7%, due to a higher
mix of CPaaS in revenues, combined with lower margins with large
enterprises in the SaaS business and an increase in infrastructure
costs related to the final phase of the integration of acquired
companies.
- Normalized EBITDA was positive BRL 98.1
million in the period, up 151% from 9M 2023, which is in line with our expectations
and on track to deliver the full year guidance of BRL 120 million to BRL 140
million.

Our SaaS business Revenue went up 16% YoY in Q3 2024 to
BRL 87.6 million from BRL 75.3 million in Q3 2023, primarily from small
and medium sized customers. Year-to-date, the increase was similar,
of 15%.
It is worth noting that new clients are now onboarded directly
to the Zenvia Customer Cloud, enhancing value not only on channel
options but also by leveraging SaaS solutions.
Q3 2024 Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit was up 10% YoY to
BRL 50.6 million from BRL 46.0 million, primarily driven by
higher-margin SMBs. Despite this, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin
from SaaS went down 3.3 percentage points to 57.7%, as we saw
tighter margins from large enterprises amid continued fierce
competitive market dynamics in this segment.
Year-to-date, while our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit went up
1.3%, our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin was down 7.6 percentage
points, mainly from the same impact of large enterprises with lower
margins coupled with the increased infrastructure costs related to
the final integration phase of the acquired companies.

We recorded abnormally high volumes from large enterprise
customers in the CPaaS business in this third quarter, in line with
the trend we saw in Q2 2024. While we consider this to be temporary
and do not expect it to continue into the fourth quarter, it was an
opportunistic move to our top line.
The segment reported Net Revenues of BRL
196.8 million in Q3 2024, up 37% YoY, while Non-GAAP
Adjusted Gross Profit increased at a similar rate to
BRL 51.9 million from BRL 37.8 million in Q3 2023. Non-GAAP
Adjusted Gross Margin was flat at 26.4%, when compared to Q3
2023.
Year-to-date, our CPaaS business reported Net Revenues of
BRL 485.1 million, up 28% YTD, with
our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit increasing at a similar rate,
leading to a flat Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin of 33.0%, when
compared to the same period last year.
Regarding Total Active Customers, as we mentioned in the last
quarter, the YoY decrease was primarily due to the clean-up and
removal held in Q2 2024 of smaller CPaaS clients who were not
generating revenue. These moves reflect our focus on retaining
customers that contribute with revenues and EBITDA generation, as
attested by the more than 30% increase in both CPaaS top line and
Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit in this quarter. It is also worth
noting the sequential increase in total CPaaS active
customers to 6,053 in Q3 2024 from 5,506 in Q2 2024, also
leveraged by the primary onboarding of new SMB customers to Zenvia
Customer Cloud.
Consolidated Financial Result Analysis
Revenue
In this quarter, consolidated revenues were
positively impacted by both segments, but especially by CPaaS which
recorded higher-than-expected volumes that were opportunistic for
revenue and cash balance. This resulted in a higher share of CPaaS
in the revenue mix, of 69.2% in Q3 2024 compared to 65.5% in Q3
2023.
These effects are reflected in the 37% increase in CPaaS
Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit, accompanied by a 10% increase in
SaaS Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit, which jointly brought the
Consolidated Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit up 22%.
Looking at our consolidated Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin, it
declined 2.3 percentage points year-over-year to 36.0% in Q3 2024
from 38.3% in Q3 2023. As we always explain, a higher CPaaS mix
impacts margins, but this quarter we also saw lower margins from
some enterprise customers in SaaS and the impact on cost of
services from the increase in infrastructure costs tied to the
final phase of acquired companies' integration.
Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2024 was positive
BRL 41.2 million, compared to
BRL 15.7 million in Q3 2023. The
combination of higher revenues, stricter expense control and
operating efficiencies allowed our EBITDA to multiply by 2.6 times
in the period, reaching the highest quarterly level of the last
three years. Year-to-date, our G&A Expenses went down to
BRL 95.2 million, or -3.4% YoY, which
led the G&A as a percentage of revenues to 13.1%, a 3.6
percentage point decrease from the 16.7% reported in the same
period of 2023. When compared to two years ago, right before we
started our streamlining efforts, this decrease was of 5.4
percentage points, from 18.5%.
Normalized EBITDA, which excludes the earn-outs and
non-recurring events, amounted to BRL 98.1
million in 9M 2024, which
compares to BRL 39.0 million in the
same period of 2023. As a result, our LTM Normalized EBITDA
reached BRL 135.2 million at the end
of September 2024, putting us on
track to meet our 2024 guidance.
Net Income in Q3 2024 amounted to BRL 52.4 million, an increase of BRL 64.3 million from Q3 2023. This includes a
positive non-cash impact of BRL 43.8
million in Financial Income as a result of the mark-to-market
of a derivative instrument related to the equity raise made by
Cassio Bobsin in Q1 2024. Excluding
this impact, we estimate Net Income would be positive at
BRL 8.7 million, mostly due to the
strong operating results.

Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents certain Non-GAAP financial measures,
which are not recognized under IFRS, specifically Non-GAAP Adjusted
Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted
Gross Profit for our SaaS business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross
Profit for our CPaaS business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross
Margin for our SaaS business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross
Margin for our CPaaS business segment, Adjusted EBITDA and
Normalized EBITDA. A Non-GAAP 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 GAAP measure. Non-GAAP financial measures do not
have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to
similarly titled measures adopted by other companies. These
Non-GAAP financial measures are used by our management for
decision-making purposes and to assess our financial and operating
performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic
decisions regarding the allocation of capital. We also believe that
the disclosure of our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit, Non-GAAP
Adjusted Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit for our SaaS
business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit for our CPaaS
business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin for our SaaS
business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin for our CPaaS
business segment, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA provides
useful supplemental information to investors and financial analysts
and other interested parties in their review of our operating
performance. Potential investors should not rely on information not
recognized under IFRS as a substitute for the IFRS measures of
earnings, cash flows or profit (loss) in making an investment
decision.
The following table shows the reconciliation for our
consolidated Non-GAAP Gross Profit and consolidated Non-GAAP Gross
Margin:
