To our shareholders

We are happy to announce our earnings results for the second quarter and first semester of 2023 and continue to share the recent developments and milestones.
In June 2023, we reached 29.5 million clients amounting to R$424 billion in transactions occurring in the first six months of the year. These numbers are composed by R$244 billion in Total Banking Volume (formerly known as PagBank TPV) and R$181 billion in Total Payment Volume (formerly known as PagSeguro TPV). In reaching these figures, we surpassed R$2 trillion in transactions processed in PAGS' history. It took 16 years to reach our first trillion in June 2022 and twelve months later, we achieved our second trillion.
In the first semester of 2023, we broke record figures for every financial KPI for a semester: revenue, gross profit, net income and cash earnings. Net income totaled R$807 million on a non-GAAP basis and R$755 million on a GAAP basis. This was driven by our TPV growth, disciplined capital allocation, material decrease in losses, optimizations in operating expenses and controlled financial expenses. All these achievements occurred despite the regulatory change establishing a cap on the interchange fee of prepaid and debit cards from April 1st onwards, decreasing our Total Revenue and Income by -2% in the second quarter of 2023. Our equity position currently is 56% comprised of retained earnings and our net cash balance exceeded R$10 billion.
In August 2023, S&P Global has attributed a brAAA rating to PagBank, the highest rating in the local scale. This milestone recognizes the consistency of our management principles, which consist of:
•Superior execution in balancing growth with profitability;
•Robust financials with high liquidity, sustainable results and low funding costs; and
•Solid and ethical corporate governance.
In Payments, MSMB TPV increased +10% y/y in the second quarter of 2023, twice as much as compared to industry growth. Our TPV (consolidated) increased +4% y/y, reflecting our strategy to prioritize key segments with higher margins. TPV per merchant increased +15% y/y, driven by our increasing share of wallet per merchant and our strategy to keep expanding our addressable market towards larger merchants. We also noticed upbeat trends in merchant's gross adds and increasing productivity in HUBs.
In Financial Services, PagBank Cash-in surpassed R$50 billion in the second quarter of 2023, representing +59% growth on a year-on-year basis, which also drove an increase of our deposits on-platform by +25%. These figures show the strong client engagement of PagBank while optimizing our funding structure/costs. Our Credit Portfolio reached R$2.6 billion, with secured products surpassing 50% of our outstanding book loan with further downtrend in NPL over 90 days.
Over the next months, we will continue to heavily invest in our capabilities to enable our future growth. In Payments, we are going beyond cards acceptance and POS devices, delivering integrated software and a payments experience through omnichannel interface. In Financial Services, we aim to continue to achieve further developments in our credit cycle (onboarding, risk assessment, underwriting and collection) and delivering new financial products and services to diversify our revenue streams to merchants and consumers.
I remain extremely excited and confident about our mission to make the financial lives of businesses and consumers in Brazil easier.

Alexandre Magnani, Chief Executive Officer

127.7 85.5 49% 115.9 10%
Total Finance Volume (TFV),formerly known as PAGS TPV, totaled R$ 220 billion, an increase of +26% vs. 2Q22 due to the growth in Total Payment Volume and Total Banking Volume, mainly driven by the maturation of merchant cohorts' and market share gains in key segments combined with the higher engagement in Financial Services.
Total Payment Volume (TPV), formerly known as PagSeguro TPV, totaled R$ 92.7 billion, an increase of +4% vs. 2Q22 mainly due to:
(i)larger share of wallet mainly driven by the cash conversion into electronic payments;
(ii)maturation of existing cohorts due to increasing productivity of our sales channels; and
(iii)market share gains in key segments boosted by HUBs execution exploring a larger addressable market;

Total Banking Volume (TBV), formerly known as PagBank TPV, totaled R$ 127.7 billion, an increase of +49% vs. 2Q22. This growth is mainly related to our clients' higher engagement with digital bank features (such as PIX, bill payments, mobile top-up), cards' spending and credit underwriting. The number of PIX transactions by PagBank clients accounted forapproximately 9% of the total PIX transactions in Brazil. The increasing engagement of our clients reflects the results of our close-loop ecosystem: starting with cash-in, followed by investments options that unlock a credit card offer, encouraging new purchases by our clients.

PagBank ended the quarter with 29.5 million clients,representing an increase of +19% vs. 2Q22, and Active Clients of 16.4 million, an increase of +9% vs. 2Q22. This increase is mainly related to higher penetration in the consumers segment which represents 62% of PagBank clients vs. 56% in 2Q22. This increase also reflects the release of new products by PagBank and best-in-class user experience. Moving forward, the company will pivot its strategy to client engagement and client focus rather than client growth.

Active Merchants ended the quarter with 6.8 million, a decrease of -10% vs. 2Q22. Since early 2022, the company has been adopting a more selective go-to-market strategy focusing on clients with better unit economics, higher activation ratio, and higher engagement with PagBank. Additionally, we have been improving our onboarding and risk assessment processes since early 2023 to reduce chargebacks and losses. The combination of these measures and the ongoing learning curve has been positively reflected in our lower Capital Expenditures to Total Revenue and Income (CapEx per Sales), improving our merchants' gross adds in a healthier way and increasing client activation while lowering our chargebacks and losses.

Total Deposits reached R$ 18.3 billion, representing an increase of +18% vs. 2Q22. This increase was driven by both the +36% y/y growth in Accounts Balance (following cash-in increase trends) and +7% y/y growth in CDs, which allowed the company to reduce the CDs distribution by third-party partners, balancing funding strategy, resulting in lower cost of funding, leading to the third consecutive quarter decrease in Financial Expenses.

Total Revenue and Income reached R$ 3,826 million in 2Q23, representing a decrease of -2% from R$ 3,911 million reported in 2Q22. The breakdown of Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income differs from Total Revenue and Income amount due to PagBank Float, which is an intercompany revenue from Merchant Acquiring funding, not accounted for Total Revenue and Income. Before 1Q23, Float from Accounts Balance was partially booked in Payments. Going forward, 100% of Float will be fully booked in Financial Services, similar to other financial institutions. The main differences will be:
(i)Total Revenue and Income: The mismatch between Total Revenue and Income and the managerial Total Revenue and Income's breakdown in Payments, Financial Services and Other Financial Income increase given the intercompany Float no longer will offset a portion of the Financial Expenses. In 2Q23, intercompany Float amounted to R$ 57 million vs. R$ 84 million in 2Q22 and R$ 95 million in 1Q23.
(ii)Payments: No change in revenue except for an increase in Financial Expenses, since the share of such expenses offset by the Float usually booked in Payments will no longer occur. Consequently, Gross Profit and Adj. EBITDA will decrease.
(iii)Financial Services: An increase in Revenue since the Float will lead to a higher interest income. Consequently, Gross Profit and Adj. EBITDA will increase.

Total Revenue and Income performance is explained below:
(i)Transaction Activities and Other Services in 2Q23 amounted to R$ 2,166 million, representing a decrease of -4% vs. 2Q22, mainly due to the focus on revenues with higher margins and higher share of larger merchants in Payments and the impact of the regulatory change on prepaid/debit cards that became effective on April 1, 2023 and the change in the mix of credit products towards secured products with lower yields and longer duration in Financial Services.
(ii)Financial Income, which represents the discount fees we withhold from credit card transactions in installments for the early payment of accounts receivable, reached R$ 1,595 million, representing a decrease of -1% vs. 2Q22, mainly due to the shorter duration of TPV of Credit Card installments
(iii)Other Financial Income reached R$ 65million in 2Q23, an increase of +45%, mainly due to the increase in interest on Cash and Cash Equivalents plus Financial Investments due to the higher Brazilian Basic Interest Rate (SELIC) as compared to 2Q22.

Transaction Costs reached R$ 1,414 million in 2Q23, representing no increase from the R$ 1,414 million reported in 2Q22. As a percentage of the Total Revenue and Income, Transaction Costs increased to 37% in 2Q23 vs. 36% in 2Q22, due to lower costs in connection with equipment maintenance and logistics, reflecting our strategy of being more selective regarding the addition of merchants.
The increase is mainly related to:
↑Interchange Fees and Card Scheme Fees paid to card issuers and networks totaled R$ 1,357 million in 2Q23, representing a decrease of -1%y/y, mainly driven by the adverse impact of the regulatory change on prepaid/debit cards that became effective on April 1, 2023, leading to a decrease in Transaction Costs Yield (as a % of TPV) to 1.46% from 1.52% calculated as an average over the last 5 quarters; and
↓Other Costs increase of +16% vs. 2Q22 mainly explained by better trends in merchants' additions leading to higher logistics and maintenance costs.

As a percentage of Total Revenues and Income, Total Losses decreased by -3.7 p.p. to 3.2% in 2Q23 vs. 6.9% in 2Q22. This decrease was mainly driven by the improved asset quality of our credit portfolio with increased exposure to secured products with negligible NPLs, demanding lower expected credit losses provisions. Furthermore, the ongoing improvement in know-your-client (KYC) processes, risk assessment and security resulted in lower chargebacks in Financial Services.

Gross Profit totaled R$ 1,438 million in 2Q23, representing an increase of R$ 4 million from R$ 1,434 million reported in 2Q22. This increase is mainly related to TFV gains, successes stemming from repricing strategy in 2022 and diligent credit underwriting strategy more focused on secured products with longer durations and lower expected credit losses. This increase was partially offset by the higher average interest rate of the quarter vs. the same period of 2022, driving up financial expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization reached R$ 310 million, representing an increase of +12%, from R$ 276 million in 2Q22. Depreciation and amortization expenses consist mainly of: (i) the depreciation of POS devices, and (ii) the amortization of research and development (R&D) investments, mainly related to software and technology developments for the business. These investments related to R&D allow the company to defer its tax liability through "Lei do Bem" (Technological Innovation Law).
These amounts exclude:
(1)M&A Expenses related to the amortization of fair value assets acquired as well as expenses for external consulting, accounting, and legal services in the amount of R$ 4.6 million in 2Q23; and
(2)Capitalized Expenses related to platforms development in the amount of R$ 11.4 million.

In September 2019, we changed our business model from selling POS devices to a subscription model to follow the industry's best standards and to improve the merchant's user experience in terms of:
▪POS delivery for new merchants; and
▪POS maintenance and replacement for existing merchants.
At that time, we strategically prepared for the launch of our HUBs strategy to have the best SLAs in the market, providing a superior value proposition to focus not only on pricing (POS, MDR and prepayment) fee itself.
Between 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic changed merchants' transaction profile into the PAGS ecosystem, adding more complexity to understanding merchants' engagement and activity levels. Now we have a better understanding of merchants' activity, and we started to write-off POS devices beginning in the 2Q22. In 2Q23, this value amounted to R$ 65 million vs. R$ 93 million in 2Q22.

(ii) Some entities and investment funds adopt different taxation regimes according to the applicable rules in their jurisdictions.

Income Tax and Social Contribution amounted to an expense of R$ 100 million in 2Q23, an increase of +32% versus 2Q22. Effective Tax Rate (ETR) increased by +350 bps to 21% in 2Q23 from 17% in 2Q22. 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:
(i)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; and
(ii)Taxation of Income abroad. Certain entities or investment funds adopt different taxation regimes in accordance with the applicable rules in their respective jurisdictions.

Total Cost and Expenses explained by function
Total Costs and Expenses amounted to R$ 3,295 million in the 2Q23, representing a decrease of -3% from R$3,413million recorded in the 2Q22.
On a GAAP basis, including LTIP Expenses of R$ 30 million, M&A expenses in the amount of R$ 4.6 million; and Capitalized expenses related to platforms development in the amount of R$ 11,4 million, Total Costs and Expenses amounted to R$3,341 million, representing a decrease of -4% in comparison to the amount of R$3,468 million presented in 2Q22.
The increase is mainly related to:
↓Cost of Sales and Services reached R$ 1,923 million in the 2Q23, representing an increase of +1% from R$ 1,896 million reported in the 2Q22, mainly due to TPV growth, leading to higher Interchange and Card scheme fees and higher Depreciation of the POS devices.
When including non-GAAP related to LTIP Costs, Cost of services reached R$ 1,926 million, representing an increase of +1%, from R$ 1,900 million reported in 2Q22.
↓Selling Expenses totaled R$ 320 million, representing a decrease of -36% from R$ 499 million reported in the same period of 2022, mainly driven by lower losses and disciplined management of Personnel and Marketing expenses.
↑Administrative Expenses reached R$ 162 million, representing an increase of +6% from R$ 153 million presented in 2Q22, mainly driven by the non-recurrent expenses related to the headcount resizing implemented in 2Q23.
↑Financial Expenses totaled R$ 796 million in 2Q23, representing an increase of +5% vs. 2Q22 mainly due to the higher average Brazilian Interest Rate (SELIC) in the period.
↓Other Expenses, net reached R$ 94 million in 2Q23, representing a decrease of -14% from expenses of R$ 109 million reported in 2Q22. This decrease is mainly driven by POS write-off during the period.

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, which 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 and write-downs of the fair value of certain 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.
Non-recurring Effects: This consists of one-time effects related to PagPhone sales, PagPhone inventory provisions, tax impairment, software disposals and development. We exclude non-recurring effects from our non-GAAP measures primarily because such items are non-recurring and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Income Tax and Social Contribution on LTIP Expenses, M&A Expenses and Non-Recurring Adjustments: This represents the income tax effect related to the LTIP expenses, M&A expenses and non-recurring 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: "Income Tax and Social Contribution Reconciliation," and "Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income Reconciliation" "Reconciliation of Basic and diluted EPS to non-GAAP Basic and diluted EPS" and "Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to non-GAAP Measures."
