Non-GAAP disclosure
This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures. We present non-GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, as the case may be, that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook.
These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered separately from, or as a substitute for, our financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP results consist of our GAAP results as adjusted to exclude the following items:
LTIP expenses: This consists of expenses for equity awards under our two long-term incentive plans (LTIP and LTIP-Goals). We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business.
M&A expenses: Thisconsists of expenses for mergers & acquisitions ('M&A') transactions, including, among others, expenses for external consulting, accounting and legal services in connection with due diligence and negotiating M&A documentation for our acquisitions, as well as amortization of the fair value of the acquired assets. We exclude M&A expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Income tax and social contribution on non-GAAP adjustment: This represents the income tax effect related to the non-GAAP adjustments mentioned above.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the tables elsewhere in this press release under the following headings: 'Reconciliation of Total Expenses to non-GAAP Total Expenses,' 'Reconciliation of Income Tax and Social Contribution to non-GAAP Income Tax and Social Contribution,' 'Reconciliation of Net Income to non-GAAP Net Income,' 'Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA', 'Reconciliation of Basic and diluted EPS to non-GAAP Basic and diluted EPS,' and 'Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to non-GAAP Measures.'

Total revenues and income reached R$2,067.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, an improvement of 30.2% from R$1,587.3 million reported in the first quarter of 2020. The growth was mainly due to an increase in our Acquiring TPV and will be detailed in each revenue and income lines described below.
|
Revenue from transaction activities and other services
|
Revenues from transaction activities and other services in the 1Q21 amounted to R$1,385.0 million, an improvement of R$418.2 million, or 43.3%, from R$966.8 million presented in the 1Q20, because of the factors described below:
Gross revenues from transaction activities and other services in the 1Q21 amounted to R$1,555.4 million, an improvement of R$469.6 million, or 43.3%, from R$1,085.8 million recorded in the 1Q20. This increase was principally due to an increase of 33.5% in our active merchant base and a growth of 58.0% in our Acquiring TPV. In addition, in the first quarter of 2021, we recognized R$64.3 million in membership fees, an increase of R$49.2 million, from R$15.1 million presented in the 1Q20.
Gross revenues from transaction activities and other services during the first quarter of 2021 increased by a lower percentage than the growth of our Acquiring TPV, which increased to R$50.0 billion from R$31.7 billion reported in 1Q20. The difference in the growth rate is mainly due to new revenue initiatives, such as card issuance, loans, bill payments and mobile-top ups, among others.
4
Deductions from gross revenues from transaction activities and other services, which consist principally of taxes, amounted to R$170.4 million in the first quarter or 11.0% of Gross revenues from transaction activities and other services for the quarter. In the 1Q20, these deductions totaled R$119.0 million, and represented the same 11.0% in relation to the Gross revenue from transaction activities and other services for the quarter. The R$51.9 million, or 41.9%, increase in these deductions is directly related to our higher Acquiring TPV. Additionally, in 1Q21, R$6.0 million of these deductions corresponded to membership fee taxes, which corresponds to a growth of R$4.5 million from R$1.5 million recorded in the 1Q20.
The quarterly Financial income, which represents the discount fees we withhold from credit card transactions in installments for the early payment of accounts receivable, attained R$657.0 million, an increase of R$94.7 million, or 16.8%, from R$562.3 million presented in the 1Q20. The financial income growth was driven by a higher Acquiring TPV, on the one hand, and estimated present value of future cash flows, loss in the amount of R$23,899 in the first quarter of 2021, a gain of R$21,737 in the first quarter of 2020.
Other financial income reached R$25.2 million in the 1Q21, a decrease of R$33.0 million, or 56.7%, from R$58.2 million in the 1Q20.This reduction was explained mainly by the decrease in the level of cash and cash equivalents plus financial investment and the effects of the lower Brazilian basic interest rate (SELIC) and losses in the US$ dollar exchange rate variations.
5
Total expenses amounted to R$1,706.8 million in the 1Q21, R$615.7 million higher, or 56.4%, in comparison to the R$1,091.1 million presented in the 1Q20. As a percentage of our Total revenues and income, quarterly total expenses in the 1Q21 increased by 13.8 percentage points, to 82.6% from 68.7% reported in the 1Q20.
Non-GAAP total expenses amounted to R$1,622.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of R$546.5 million, or 50.8%, from R$1,075.8 million recorded in the 1Q20. As a percentage of our Total revenues and income, non-GAAP total expenses represented 78.5% in the 1Q21, an increase of 10.7 percentage points when compared to the 67.8% presented in the 1Q20.

[1] LTIP expenses: LTIP expenses consists of expenses for equity awards under our long-term incentive plan (LTIP and LTIP-Goals). We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business. In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amounts of R$79.7 million and R$15.3 million, respectively, were mainly related to the recurrent quarterly provision, payroll taxes related to LTIP and LTIP-Goals, including the update of our stock price and appreciation of the US$ dollar exchange rate and new shares issued to preexisting LTIP beneficiaries.
[2] M&A expense:This consists of expenses for M&A transactions, including, among others, expenses for external consulting, accounting and legal services in connection with due diligence and negotiating M&A documentation for our acquisitions and amortization of the fair value of the acquired assets in the three months ended March 31, 2021, amounting to R$4.9 million. We exclude M&A expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.

Cost of services reached R$1,146.1 million in the 1Q21, an increase of R$377.5 million, or 49.1%, from R$768.6 million reported in the 1Q20. As a percentage of the total of our Revenues from transaction activities and other services, our Cost of services increased 3.3 percentage points, to 82.8% in the 1Q21 from 79.5% in the 1Q20, due to:
i) Depreciation of the POS devices in the 1Q21 amounted to R$95.7 million, an increase of R$75.9 million, from R$19.8 million presented in the 1Q20;
ii) Costs of maintenance of POS devices and freight in the 1Q21 reached R$67.2 million, a growth of R$35.2 million, from R$32.0 million recorded in the 1Q20;
iii) Interchange fees paid to card issuers in the first quarter of 2021, attained R$566.7 million, a rise of R$225.4 million, from R$341.3 million reported in first quarter of 2020;
iv) Card scheme fees in the first quarter of 2021 totaled R$139.0 million, a hike of R$47.6 million, from R$91.4 million presented in the same period of 2020.
These increases in items (i) and (ii) refer to more POS acquisitions and shipping to clients. The increases in items (iii) and (iv) are mainly related to a higher Acquiring TPV and, consequently, to the increased revenues from transactions and other services.
In the first quarter of the year 2021, the non-GAAP Cost of services reached R$1,140.4 million (reflecting the exclusion of the LTIP adjustment of R$5.7 million in the quarter), an increase of R$374.0 million, or 48.8%, from R$766.4 million reported in the 1Q20 (reflecting the exclusion of the LTIP adjustment of R$2.2 million in the 1Q20). As a percentage of the total of our Revenues from transaction activities and other services, our non-GAAP Cost of services increased 3.2 percentage points, to 82.3% in the 1Q21 from 79.1% in the 1Q20. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP cost of services to the GAAP cost of services, see page 23 of this earnings release.

Quarterly selling expenses amounted to R$368.1 million in the 1Q21, an increase of R$179.1 million, or 94.8%, from R$189.0 million presented in 1Q20. As a percentage of our Total revenues and income, Selling expenses increased by 5.9 percentage points, to 17.8%, in the 1Q21, from 11.9% in 1Q20. This increase in Selling expenses as a percentage of Total revenue and income was mainly due to unexpected digital account losses, which attained R$73.4 million and Hubs' workforce expansion in this quarter.
For the first quarter of 2021, non-GAAP Selling expenses amounted to R$367.4 million (reflecting the exclusion of the LTIP adjustment of R$0.7 million in the quarter), an increase of R$178.4 million, or 94.4%, from R$189.0 million reported in the same period of 2020. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP Selling expenses to Selling expenses, see page 23 of this earnings release.

Administrative expenses reached R$189.1 million in the quarter, R$103.3 million higher, or 120.4%, when compared to the R$85.8 million reported in the 1Q20. As a percentage of our Total revenues and income, the Administrative expenses rose by 3.7 percentage points, to 9.1% in the quarter from 5.4% in the 1Q20. This rise was mainly due to an increase in our share based long term incentive plan (LTIP) expenses in the amount of R$73.2 million in 1Q21, an increase of R$60.1 million, from R$13.1 million recorded in the 1Q20 and the higher expenses related to workforce.
In the period ended March 31, 2021, non-GAAP Administrative expenses amounted to R$111.0 million, a growth of R$38.3 million, or 52.7%, from R$72.7 presented in the 1Q20. These amounts exclude the LTIP adjustment of R$73.2 million in 1Q21 and R$13.1 in the 1Q20 and also exclude M&A expenses related to the amortization of fair value assets acquired in the amount of R$4.9 million in the 1Q21. As a percentage of Total revenues and income, non-GAAP Administrative expenses were 5.4% in the first quarter of 2021, a rise of 0.8 percentage points compared to 4.6% reported in the 1Q20. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP administrative expenses to GAAP Administrative expenses, see page 23 of this earnings release.
9
Quarterly Financial expenses summed R$44.4 million, in the 1Q21, a decrease of R$1.2 million, or 2.6%, from expenses of R$45.6 million presented in the 1Q20. Expressed as a percentage of our Financial income, Financial expenses represented 6.8% in the 1Q21 and 8.1% in the 1Q20. This decrease in our Financial expenses expressed as a percentage of our Financial income was mainly driven by, on the one hand the lower volume of early payment of receivables from issuing banks and on the other hand the increase of interest rates on Certificates of Deposits.
|
Other income (expenses), net
|
Other income (expenses), net recorded revenues of R$40.8 million in the 1Q21, an increase of R$42.9 million, or 2,010.4%, from expenses of R$2.1 million reported in 1Q20. This increase in Other income (expenses) was mainly driven by the reversal of R$29.1 million in the Value-added Tax on Sales and Services (ICMS), based on the decision made by the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal) in March 2021 that benefited the Company.

Profit before income taxes
|
Profit before income taxes amounted to R$360.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of R$135.8 million, or 27.4%, from R$496.2 million reported in the same period of 2020. The non-GAAP Profit before income taxes amounted to R$444.9 million in the 1Q21, a reduction of R$66.6 million, or 13.0% from R$511.4 million 1Q20. For a reconciliation of our non-GAAP Profit before income taxes to our Profit before income taxes, see page 23 of this earnings release.

Income tax and social contribution
|
Income tax and social contribution amounted to an expense of R$89.0 million in the 1Q21, a decrease of R$50.2 million, or 36.1%, from an expense of R$139.2 million presented in the 1Q20. This item consists of current income tax and social contribution and deferred income tax and social contribution.
Our effective tax rate decreased by 3.4 percentage points to 24.7% in the 1Q21 from 28.1% in the 1Q20. In both periods, the difference between the effective income tax and social contribution rate and the rate computed by applying the Brazilian federal statutory rate was mainly related to the Technological Innovation Law (Lei do Bem), which reduces income tax charges based on investments made in innovation and technology, such as those made by PagSeguro Brazil, our Brazilian operating subsidiary.
Non-GAAP Income tax and social contribution expense for the 1Q21 amounted to R$117.7 million, a decrease of R$26.7 million, or 18.5%, from an expense of R$144.4 millionin the 1Q20.
The effective tax rate on our non-GAAP Income tax and social contribution decreased by 1.7 percentage points to 26.5% in first quarter of 2021, from 28.2% in the first quarter of 2020. The difference of 1.7 percentage points between the non-GAAP effective income tax and social contribution rate and the rate computed by applying the Brazilian federal statutory rate was the same explained above for our GAAP measures and the effect of non-GAAP adjustments.

[1] LTIP expenses: LTIP expenses consists of expenses for equity awards under our long-term incentive plan (LTIP and LTIP-Goals). We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business. In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amounts of R$79.7 million and R$15.3 million, respectively, were mainly related to the recurrent quarterly provision, payroll taxes related to LTIP and LTIP-Goals, including the update of our stock price and appreciation of the US$ dollar exchange rate and new shares issued to preexisting LTIP beneficiaries.
[2] M&A expenses: This consists of expenses for M&A transactions, including, among others, expenses for external consulting, accounting and legal services in connection with due diligence and negotiating M&A documentation for our acquisitions and amortization of the fair value of the acquired assets in the three months ended March 31, 2021, amounting to R$4.9 million. We exclude M&A expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Our Adjusted EBITDA in the 1Q21 amounted to R$573.1 million, an increase of R$60.3 million, or 11.8%,from R$512.8 million reported in the 1Q20, which is calculated using Net income and adding (i) income tax and social contribution and (ii) depreciation and amortization, minus (iii) other financial income and adding (iv) LTIP expenses. We are not considering the exclusion of M&A expenses in the amount of R$4.9 million in the 1Q21 because they are related to the amortization of fair value assets acquired and were already considered in Depreciation and amortization.
The increase is mainly related to depreciation and amortization, which in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to R$158.3 million, an increase of R$98.7 million, or 165.6%, from R$59.6 million in the 1Q20, this increase was explained by the increase in our POS devices, in addition to the increase of LTIP compensation expensesincurred.

The adjustments for revenues, income and expenses recorded in the income statement in the three months ended March 31, 2021 but which did not affect our cash flows totaled the positive amount of R$398.9 million, mainly due to R$79.7 million of Share-based long-term incentive plan (LTIP) expenses, R$173.1 million in chargebacks, R$158.3 million of depreciation and amortization recorded in our income statement and R$29.1 million of reversal of taxes and contributions.

New Products Launched
In February 2021, we announced the launch of a new service enabling our clients to buy, hold and sell quotes of a cryptocurrency investment fund, distributed by PagInvest. Across the world, several investments are shifting to cryptocurrencies, offering a new payment method and a new asset class for investors to save, trade or pay using this option. Through PagInvest, the digital asset management platform available for PagBank clients, now millions of customers can invest in digital currencies through a new cryptocurrency investment fund, with an initial ticket of R$500.
Additionally, PagBank also launched new investment funds, backed by incentivized debt issuances, corporate debt issuances, Brazilian treasury bonds and equities, offering a wide range of options to our clients.
In April, we announced the launch of PagPhone, which we believe is the first device in the world that is a smartphone, POS and digital bank. It is a new solution to fulfill different needs of Brazilians in just one product. PagPhone is a POS device with no rent needed that accepts debit and credit card, vouchers and Pix. It also includes NFC technology, allowing approximation payments. It works with Android 10 system, can make/receive calls and send messages, allows Wi-Fi and 4G connection, includes Camera Super Dual 13 megapixels, biometrics fingerprint, long-lasting battery and a phone charger. PagPhone also includes a two-year warranty, which we believe is the longest warranty in Brazil for smartphones with integrated payment system.
PagPhone includes PagBank, our complete bank. The PagBank super app is already installed at PagPhone and only takes 3 minutes for the user to create an account. With PagBank, everything can be done on the phone, such as unlimited free wire transfers for any financial institution, mobile phone top ups with 2% cashback, a free international card accepted for both online and offline stores, and pay for services and apps such as Uber, Spotify, Google Play among others. PagBank account also allows withdrawals in Banco24horas ATMs. Besides that, PagBank offers the feature 'Radar de Ofertas' which finds discounts around the client's region.

Non-GAAP total expenses excludes: LTIP expenses in the total amount of R$79.7 million (R$15.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020), consisting of expenses for equity awards under our LTIP. We exclude LTIP expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and the related employer payroll taxes depend on our stock price and the timing and size of exercises and vesting of the equity awards, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe these expenses correlate to the operation of our business. The total of LTIP expenses is allocated between Cost of services, Selling expenses and Administrative expenses. Excluding the LTIP expenses, Cost of services in the amount of R$1,146.1 million (R$768.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020) is adjusted by R$5.7 million (R$2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020) resulting in non-GAAP Cost of services of R$1,140.4 million (R$766.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020); Selling expenses in the amount of R$368.1 million (R$189.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020) is adjusted by R$0.7 million, resulting in non-GAAP Selling expenses of R$367.4 million (R$189.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020); and Administrative Expenses in the amount of R$189.1 million (R$85.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020) is adjusted by R$73.2 million (R$13.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020) and is additionally adjusted by R$ 4.9 million of M&A expenses resulting in non-GAAP Administrative expenses of R$111.0 million (R$72.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020).
