LMEC: Refers to Large Merchants (monthly TPV > R$ 1,000,000), e-Commerce and Cross-Border.
Total Payment Volume (TPV) totaled R$ 111.7 billion, +26.8% higher vs. Q1 2023, driven by all merchants’ segments, described below:
•MSMB TPV increased +23.6% y/y, mostly due to strong POS sales activity during the quarter, larger share of wallet per client, increasing usage of PIX QR Code in mPOS and POS devices, higher productivity in HUBs combined with geographic expansion, attracting and retaining micro-merchants and SMBs;
•LMEC TPV grew +34.9% y/y, mostly due to larger demand for our services from merchants processing over R$1 million in TPV per month, combined with a strong growth in Online Payments and a wide acceptance of the PIX QR Code payment method in our check-outs, in addition to LatAm expansion throughout PagSeguro International, our cross-border unit.
Active Merchants, which consists of Banking + Payments Clients and Payments Clients (standalone), ended the quarter with a total of 6.5 million, representing a decrease of -6.2% vs. Q1 2023, mainly due to the decrease in the number of nano-merchants (less than R$ 1k/month of TPV), in accordance with the execution of our strategy. Since 2022, we have been focusing on clients presenting better unit economics, higher activation ratio, and higher engagement in Banking rather than just net adds. Additionally, we have been improving our onboarding and risk assessment procedures to reduce chargebacks and losses, which has been positively reflected in the evolution of our gross profit in the last quarters.
As a result, our TPV per Merchant reached R$ 17.2 thousand in Q1 2024, +35.2% higher vs. Q1 2023.

| Cash-In per Active Banking Client (R$ thousand) | | 3.9 | 2.7 | 43.0% | 4.0 | -1.2% |
Active Banking Clients refer to Banking Clients and Banking + Payments Clients.
Cash-In amounted to R$ 66.1 billion, up +48.3% y/y, mostly driven by the engagement of our clients in Payments accelerated by our Banking features to foster deposits growth such as Payroll Management, Collection Platform, Direct Deposits, and cashbacks/reward programs, positively contributing to boost PIX P2P inflows into PagBank accounts. As a result, Cash-In per Active Banking Client reached R$ 3.9 thousand, up +43.0% y/y, in addition to the higher number of Active Banking Clients in the period. The decrease as compared to Q4 2023 is due to the typical seasonality we experience, where Q4s usually have the strongest performance due to Black Friday, holiday season and extra salary (13th salary) for formal workers.

1.Payroll Loans: Refers to loan portfolios, including advance Brazil's Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS) withdrawals and payroll loans to public sector employees and retirees.
Credit Portfolio reached R$ 2.7 billion in Q1 2024, mainly driven by our strategy to primarily grow secured products, which represented 73% of the portfolio, such as payroll loans and credit cards backed by investments. The strategy of diversifying the credit portfolio, shifting from unsecured products to secured products while expanding the addressable market beyond merchants, allowed us to successfully pass through the pandemic and one of the worst credit cycles in Brazil, prioritizing asset quality, risk management, and capital allocation.
As our asset quality has continued to improve combined with our initiatives to review and improve our onboarding, client assessment, underwriting and collection over the past two years, we expect to gradually resume credit underwriting of unsecured products from the second semester of 2024 onwards, completing our comprehensive credit product portfolio to serve our client’s demand, such as working capital loans for merchants with the backup of the registry of receivables and overdraft account.

Total Revenue and Income reached R$ 4,306 million in Q1 2024, representing an increase of +14.8% vs. Q1 2023, led by higher revenues in the Payments segment, as described below:
•Payments: In Q1 2024, revenue amounted to R$ 3,942 million, representing an increase of +14.8% y/y, mainly driven by the recorded TPV growth in the period, as reflected in Transaction Activities and Financial Income, the last considers revenues from advance settlement features, including instant settlement into PagBank accounts.
•Banking: In Q1 2024, revenue amounted to R$ 365 million decreasing -7.7% y/y, mainly driven by the regulatory change that came into force on April 1, 2023, lowering the caps applicable to prepaid and debit cards, negatively impacting our revenue evolution. On a quarterly basis, banking revenue grew +11.8%, mainly led by Other Financial Income, which includes gains on financial investments in the period, benefits from the increase in deposits, interest income from our growing credit portfolio, and account service fees, linked to higher engagement and cash-in in the period.

Gross Profit totaled R$ 1,750 million in Q1 2024, representing an increase of +23.1% vs. Q1 2023. As a percentage of Total Payment Volume (TPV), our Gross Profit rate was mostly flat vs. Q1 2023 and higher than Q4 2023, reaching 1.57% in the quarter, mainly driven by Payments performance and lower losses, in addition to our funding strategy backed by deposits, lowering our average cost of capital, as described below:
•Payments: In Q1 2024, Gross Profit amounted to R$ 1,530 million, representing an increase of +29.8% y/y, mainly driven by the TPV growth resulting from our unique value proposition, allowing us to serve larger merchants which contribute to higher deposits level, therefore leading to an increase in profitability despite steady take rates.
•Banking: In Q1 2024, Gross Profit amounted to R$ 220 million, representing a decrease of -9.4% y/y, mainly driven by the regulatory change that came into force on April 1, 2023, lowering the caps applicable to prepaid and debit cards.
Starting this quarter, Gross Profit no longer excludes Other Financial Income (R$ 105 million in Q1 2024). This change is neutral for the reported result as it has no impact on Earnings Before Tax (EBT) and Net Income. Previous quarters are shown under the new criteria, for comparison purposes. The Company has decided not to continue presenting Adjusted EBITDA in our results going forward, as they believe that other metrics, such as Gross Profit, better illustrate our financial performance.

•Interchange and Card Scheme Fees totaled R$ 1,591 million in Q1 2024, representing an increase of +18.9% y/y, mainly driven by TPV growth partially offset by the impact of the regulatory changes on prepaid/debit cards that came into force on April 1, 2023; and
•Other Costs decreased by -30.2% vs. Q1 2023 to R$ 35 million, mainly due to efficiencies captured in processing costs and logistics.

As a percentage of Total Revenue and Income, Financial Expenses decreased to 19.2% in Q1 2024 vs. 21.7% in Q1 2023, mainly due to the lower average cost of funding led by the growth in deposits, increasing its relevance in our funding strategy and lower expenses related to the Brazilian Basic Interest Rate (SELIC) decrease.
On a nominal basis the increase (+1.7% y/y) is due to a higher volumetry of our Payments operation, linked to the strong increase of TPV in the period.

This decrease was mainly driven by the asset quality related to improvements in our KYC/onboarding procedures, lowering chargebacks, combined with better asset quality of our credit portfolio, demanding lower ECL provisions.

•Marketing and Advertising totaled R$ 209 million in Q1 2024, representing an increase of +77.8% vs. Q1 2023, led by the strengthening of our marketing initiatives in the period, focusing on attracting new clients with better unit economics and distribution of financial services for our banking segment; and

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.
Amortization of Fair Value Adjustments: Amortization and write-downs of the fair value of certain acquired assets. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Amortization of Capitalized Platforms Development Expenses: Amortization and write-downs of the capitalized expenses related to technology development projects. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business (together with Amortization of Fair Value Adjustments, the Non-Recurring Amortization Expenses).
Income Tax and Social Contribution on LTIP Expenses and Non-Recurring Adjustments: This represents the income tax effect related to the LTIP Expenses and Non-Recurring Amortization Adjustments, including Amortization of Fair Value Adjustments and Amortization of Capitalized Platforms Development.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the tables elsewhere in this press release.
