Management highlights

Segment performance
In Q3 2024, both CPaaS and SaaS segments saw double-digit growth. CPaaS revenues grew 37% in Q3, reaching almost BRL200 million, with nine-month revenues at BRL485 million. The SaaS business grew 16% in Q3, driven by SMBs, with nine-month revenues up 15% year-over-year. In Q3, consolidated adjusted gross profit was BRL102 million, with BRL50 million from SaaS and BRL52 million from CPaaS. SaaS margin was 58% and CPaaS margin was 26%, with SaaS margin down due to enterprise impact. CPaaS contributed more to revenue mix due to one-off factors, but focus was on converting volumes to EBITDA without extra G&A.

Risks
