Business Outlook
Although the macroeconomic scenario remains uncertain, we see VTEX well positioned to capture an attractive market opportunity. We are closely monitoring the performance of our customers and sales funnel and taking necessary actions to ensure our business' sustainable growth and success.
In this context, we are currently targeting revenue for the first quarter of 2024 in the US$52.5 million to US$53.5 million range, implying a YoY growth of 22% on an FX neutral basis in the middle of the range.
For the full year 2024, we expect FX neutral YoY revenue growth of 18% to 22%, implying a range of US$234 million to US$243 million based on January’s average FX rate.
For the full year 2024, as we continue executing our strategy for profitable growth, we anticipate free cash flow and non-GAAP operating income margins to reach mid-to-high single digits.
We are confident in VTEX's ability to navigate the uncertainties posed by the current macroeconomic scenario. We are empowering our customers to digitally transform their commerce operations while helping them to outperform the market.

Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP financial metrics
For the convenience of investors, this document presents certain Non-GAAP financial measures, which are not recognized under IFRS, specifically Non-GAAP subscription gross profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations, Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow and FX Neutral measures.
We understand that Non-GAAP subscription gross profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations, Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow and FX Neutral measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, our calculations of Non-GAAP subscription gross profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations, Free Cash Flow and FX Neutral measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, including our competitors, and therefore, our measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.
