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 six months ended June 30, 2025. The filing was submitted in August 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

Note: VTEX has no long-term debt reported on the balance sheet. Liquidity is supported by cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling approximately $210.8 million.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 4.0% year-over-year (YoY) for the quarter and 3.5% YoY for the six-month period. On a foreign exchange (FX) neutral basis, growth was 9.0% (quarter) and 11.0% (six months).
• Gross Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 77.0% in Q2 2025 from 73.5% in Q2 2024, driven by operational efficiencies in support costs and the phase-out of "hyper-care" services for new customers.
• Profitability: Net income decreased to $3.0 million for the quarter (from $6.6 million in Q2 2024) and $3.8 million for the six months (from $5.7 million in 2024). This decline was primarily due to a significant reduction in interest income and gains on financial instruments.
• GMV Performance: Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) reached $4.8 billion in Q2 2025, a 9.1% increase in USD and 13.6% on an FX-neutral basis.
• Share Repurchases: The company repurchased shares totaling $18.9 million during the six-month period, compared to no repurchases in the same period of 2024.

Outlook, Commentary, and Risks

• Management Commentary: Management highlighted the maturity of their ecosystem, allowing for more autonomous customer implementations and reduced service costs. They continue to invest in R&D, which increased 7.5% YoY in Q2.
• Subsequent Events: On July 31, 2025, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $40.0 million, effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026.
• Acquisitions: VTEX acquired Newtail (retail media) in January 2025 and Weni (chatbots) in August 2024. Newtail contributed $722k in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
• Risks:
  • Foreign Exchange: Significant exposure to Latin American currencies (BRL, ARS, COP, CLP, MXN). FX fluctuations materially impact reported results.
  • Interest Rate Sensitivity: Net income is sensitive to interest rates due to the company's large portfolio of marketable securities; lower rates reduced "Other income" significantly compared to 2024.
  • Tax Losses: Significant valuation allowances exist for tax loss carryforwards in the UK and US entities due to lack of positive evidence of recoverability.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• FX Impact: Verify the magnitude of the FX headwind; reported revenue growth (3.5-4.0%) is significantly lower than FX-neutral growth (9.0-11.0%) due to currency volatility in key markets.
• Non-Operating Income Volatility: Assess the sustainability of profitability given the sharp decline in "Other income" (interest and investment gains) from $5.5 million in Q2 2024 to $0.9 million in Q2 2025.
• Share Count Reduction: Confirm the impact of the $18.9 million buyback and the new $40 million authorization on earnings per share (EPS) and capital allocation strategy.
• Service Revenue Decline: Investigate the 39.7% drop in Services revenue, attributed to the phase-out of hyper-care services, to ensure this does not signal a reduction in customer support quality.
• Deferred Revenue: Monitor deferred revenue trends ($57.3 million total) as a leading indicator of future subscription revenue recognition.
