VTEX (NYSE: VTEX), the backbone for connected commerce, today announced results for the first quarter of 2026 ended March 31, 2026. VTEX results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as well as the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding financial reporting.
Geraldo Thomaz Jr., founder and co-CEO of VTEX, commented, “We have embedded AI at the core of VTEX, evolving the platform into the first AI-native commerce suite, one that delivers simplicity, ease of use, and most importantly, tangible and measurable business outcomes for our customers. This is AI with real impact. Leveraging our multi-tenant, cloud-native architecture, our AI-native product suite extends across Commerce, CX, and Ads in ways that improve how brands and retailers operate and grow, while opening new opportunities for VTEX over time. We are executing this strategy with discipline, supported by a solid operating model, as demonstrated by operating profit and free cash flow both doubling year over year.” Mariano Gomide de Faria, founder and co-CEO of VTEX, added, “Across our customer base, we are seeing a clear shift: from using software to run commerce, to relying on a partner that actively drives growth and operational efficiency. With our AI-native commerce suite, we are helping enterprise customers unlock new revenue streams, operate more efficiently, and execute faster. By embedding AI across our suite, we are expanding our global opportunity while further strengthening our leadership in Latin America.”

Business Outlook
2026 is a transformational year for VTEX as we bring our AI-native commerce vision to life through tangible product innovation. We remain focused on our core growth levers, Global Expansion, B2B, Ads, and AI, while continuing to invest in technology to reaccelerate performance for both VTEX and our customers.
Despite a volatile macro environment, our disciplined execution supports improving profitability and sustained investment in R&D. We are encouraged by the quality of new customer additions, continued expansion within our base, and our strong positioning with global enterprises, reinforcing our confidence in long-term growth and value creation.
For the second quarter of 2026, we are targeting:
For the full year 2026, we are now targeting:
Assuming FX rates remain broadly consistent with April's average rates, the FX-neutral growth guidance outlined above would translate into higher reported USD subscription revenue growth, adding approximately 10.3 percentage points in the second quarter and 8.6 percentage points for the full year 2026.
The business outlook provided above constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond VTEX’s control. See the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Fluctuations in VTEX’s operating results may be particularly pronounced in the current economic environment. There can not be an assurance that VTEX will achieve these results.

Definition of Selected Operational Metrics
“Customers” means companies ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to larger enterprises that pay to use VTEX’s platform.
“GMV” means the total value of customer orders processed through our platform, including value-added taxes and shipping. Our GMV does not include the value of orders processed by our SMB customers or B2B transactions.
“FX Neutral” or “FXN” means a way of using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during the previous year, adjusted by inflation in countries with hyper-inflation, and applying them to the corresponding months of the current year, so as to calculate what results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next.
“Stores” or “Active Stores” means the number of unique domains generating gross merchandise value. Each customer might have multiple stores.
Special Note Regarding non-GAAP financial metrics
For investor convenience, this document presents certain non-GAAP financial measures. We regularly assess other metrics that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC. These measures help us evaluate our business, track performance, prepare financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions. The key metrics we consider include non-GAAP subscription gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income,free cash flow, and FX Neutral measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures, which may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies, provide supplemental insights into our operating performance. They exclude certain gains, losses, and non-cash charges that occur infrequently or that management considers unrelated to our core operations.
