Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 6-K reports the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial results for VTEX, a provider of a software-as-a-service (SaaS) digital commerce platform, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The filing was submitted in November 2025. VTEX operates globally with a significant presence in Latin America, serving enterprise brands and retailers with B2C, B2B, and marketplace solutions.

Key Financial Metrics

Key Operational Metric: Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $5.0 billion, representing a 13.1% increase year-over-year (11.8% on an FX-neutral basis).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 6.5% year-over-year (YoY) for the quarter and 4.5% YoY for the nine-month period. Subscription revenue grew 8.4% (quarter) and 6.3% (nine months), driven by GMV growth. Services revenue declined significantly (42.4% quarter, 37.5% nine months) due to the phase-out of hyper-care services for new customers.
• Profitability: Net income increased 89% YoY for the quarter ($6.4M vs $3.4M) and 13% YoY for the nine months ($10.2M vs $9.1M). Operating income improved to $4.2M for the quarter from $2.3M in the prior year.
• Cost Structure: Total cost of revenue decreased 5.7% for the quarter and 8.7% for the nine months, primarily due to reduced service costs. Research and Development (R&D) expenses increased 21.9% for the quarter and 11.9% for the nine months due to higher personnel and IT expenses.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow for the nine months increased to $22.1M from $13.4M in the prior year, aided by a decrease in trade receivables. Investing activities generated $18.5M (vs. a use of $18.6M previously) due to net sales of marketable securities. Financing activities used $39.7M, primarily driven by $37.8M in share repurchases.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Acquisitions: VTEX acquired Weni (communication automation) in August 2024 and Newtail (retail media) in January 2025. Newtail was merged into VTEX Brazil in July 2025.
• Share Repurchases: The company executed a share repurchase program, spending $37.8M in the first nine months of 2025. Subsequent events in October 2025 included the cancellation of 1.8 million Class A shares.
• Capital Expenditures: CapEx for the nine months was $0.9M (0.5% of revenue). Management expects to maintain CapEx as a percentage of revenue in line with 2024 levels.
• Risks:
  • Foreign Exchange: Significant exposure to Latin American currencies (Brazilian Real, Argentine Peso, etc.). The company uses derivatives to hedge but remains exposed to volatility.
  • Contingencies: The company faces civil, labor, and tax lawsuits. Recognized liabilities for contingencies were $281k, with an additional $2.5M classified as possible losses.
  • Tax Losses: Significant deferred tax assets exist ($54.4M before valuation allowance), but a valuation allowance of $38.6M was recorded, primarily due to uncertainty regarding the recoverability of tax losses in the UK and US.

Investor Verification Checklist

• GMV vs. Revenue Correlation: Verify the sustainability of the 13.1% GMV growth and its direct impact on transaction-based subscription revenue.
• FX Impact: Assess the sensitivity of future earnings to fluctuations in Latin American currencies, given the high exposure noted in the filing.
• Share Repurchase Impact: Confirm the remaining authorization and execution pace of the share buyback program, which significantly impacted financing cash flow.
• Acquisition Integration: Monitor the revenue contribution and integration progress of the Newtail and Weni acquisitions.
• Deferred Tax Assets: Review the criteria for releasing the valuation allowance on tax loss carryforwards, particularly in the UK and US entities.
