Message from the Administration

We started the third quarter with the premiere of the musical The Lion King, the biggest on Broadway, in a partnership with Disney that brings the play back to Brazil after ten years. We have completed the sales, with absolute sold-out, of the six shows of the "The Eras Tour", by the world- famous singer Taylor Swift.

We are finalizing the final preparations for the delivery of the second Brazilian edition of Primavera Sound, the largest festival in Europe, which will take place on December 2nd and 3rd at the Interlagos Race Track, reinforcing the thesis of expanding our portfolio of festivals with relevant brands, seeking to value sustainability and inclusion, in addition to delivering an excellent experience. This year's edition features The Cure, The Killers, Pet Shop Boys, Beck and other great attractions, such as The Hives, Carly Rae Jepsen and Marisa Monte. With this proposal, we had a result that exceeded our expectations of adhesion from the public and partner brands.

Additionally, we announce the expansion of the Turá Festival, which will be held for the first time in Porto Alegre, on November 18 and 19 and will feature big names in Brazilian music, such as Caetano Veloso and Emicida.

As a result, we ended the quarter with an EBITDA of R$14.5 million, with a 24.4% margin, expanding

7.6 percentage points compared to the third quarter of 2022. Our Gross Cash ended the quarter with R$172.5 million and no debt, after having fully prepaid our debentures and short-term lines acquired in the second quarter.

Reinforcing our commitment to inclusion and sustainability, in this quarter alone, we donated more than 1,700 tickets to the musical The Lion King to NGOs, as well as ensuring that all sessions contain interpretation in Libras and audio description. Our festivals are 100% carbon neutral, in addition to a humanized conduct, widely reinforced with our partners and suppliers. This year alone, we have recycled more than 53 tons of waste, and achieved Zero Waste certification at the last Turá festival held in July in São Paulo.

Finally, we continue to invest in the company's digital transformation, through innovation in the acquisition of tickets and in the execution of our events. In addition to implementing efficient management tools, to further elevate the experience of our audience and our business partners.

During 3Q23, we held 91 events for which we sold 154 thousand tickets. We highlight the premiere of the musical The Lion King, in September, as well as the immersive Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. experience.

In 3Q22, we held the Turá Festival, two concerts by MPB singer Maria Bethânia, as well as concerts by the band Dream Team and singers Billy Idol and Jessie J, in São Paulo.

In addition, the number of tickets grew by 21% from 2022 to 2023, with 154 thousand versus 103 thousand tickets sold, respectively. This result is mainly due to the musical The Lion King and the immersive Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. experience.

The Company's total Net Revenue reached R$59.7 million in 3Q23, an increase of 12% compared to 3Q22, which had R$53.4 million. This increase is mainly due to the start of the show The Lion King, as explained in the Family Events and Theater line. This indicator is broken down below:

Net revenue from Event Promotion of R$ 24.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, 78% higher than 3Q22, with R$ 13.5 million, mainly due to the volume of tickets for The Lion King and Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. events.

Net revenue from Box Office Operations, F&B and Venues decreased in 3Q23 compared to 3Q22, totaling R$29.9 million versus R$31.9 million. This decrease is mainly due to the lower number of events held in the period, since this account includes the sales of food and beverages in the events held.

Net revenue from sponsorships totaled R$5.8 million in 3Q23, versus R$7.9 million in 3Q22. The decrease is mainly due to the sponsorship received for the Turá Festival in 2022 and, in 2023, the sponsorship comes mainly from the musical The Lion King.

Gross Profit in 3Q23 was R$28.7 million versus R$21.9 million in 3Q22, representing 48.1% and 41.0% of Gross Margin, respectively. This 31% increase in gross profit is mainly due to (i) the premiere of Brodway's musical, The Lion King, as previously mentioned, and (ii) the volume of tickets sold in the period. The 7.1 p.p. expansion in gross margin is due to Family and Theater events held during the quarter, as these have historically had higher margins than those in Live Music.

SG&A had a change of 24% versus 3Q22, with R$11.9 million versus R$9.6 million, both negative. This reduction was mainly due to the cost containment moves made by the organization at the beginning of 2023, demonstrating positive effects on the result.

Total Other operating expenses were R$2.7 million in 3Q23, while in the same period of 2022 we recorded a negative R$4.9 million in both periods, referring to provisions for contingency and results of lawsuits. In addition, we recognize R$4.2 million in the Other Income from Investments line, referring to the variable portion in the acquisition of INTI, for the results of 2022 above that projected in its acquisition.

The quarter ended with EBITDA of R$14.5 million, 62% higher than the R$9.0 million recorded in the same period of 2022.

In the adjusted view of Recurring EBITDA, R$1.3 million was added in 3Q23, due to negative R$2.9 million in the line of convictions and contingency provisions and R$4.2 million in the addition of a variable portion in the acquisition of INTI, mentioned in the Operating Expenses block.

In the cumulative view for nine months of 2023, these additions are R$5.6 million - R$1.4 million from contingency provisions and R$4.2 million from INTI's variable portion - against R$14.1 million in the same period of the previous year, resulting in a Recurring EBITDA of R$69.3 million and R$51.6 million, respectively.

In 3Q23, the difference between Financial Revenues and Expenses was negative by R$0.6 million, mostly impacted by interest assets and liabilities, as well as income from financial investments.

In addition to the effects listed above, the sum of the Exchange, Monetary and Hyperinflationary variations, which do not have a cash effect, was negative R$8.6 million, mainly due to:

  1. A positive exchange rate variation of R$ 1.7 million was due to the appreciation of the dollar in the period, by 4%, reflected in the value of foreign currency funds held for the payment of fees to international artists and the financing of operations outside the country.

Results - 3Q23

  1. Monetary variation and hyperinflation, together, were negative by R$10.3 million against negative R$13.0 million in the same period of 2022, as a result of the constant inflationary process in Argentina.

Working capital in 3Q23 was negative at R$139.6 million versus positive R$26.5 million in 2Q23, and negative R$102.9 million in 3Q22.

In the comparison between 3Q23 and 2Q23, this is due to: (i) decrease in the value of Accounts Receivable, mainly reflecting the receipt of credit card sales of Taylor Swift's concerts, held in June, (ii) decrease in the suppliers' account due to the partial payment of the fee of singer Taylor Swift and the band The Killers, (iii) increase in Customer Advance accounts, mainly due to the sale of the Primavera Sound festival and sessions of the musical The Lion King. In addition, we had reclassification between supplier accounts and customer advances, which had an amount passed on to other companies in the group.

We ended the third quarter of 2023 with R$172.5 million in Gross Cash, versus R$132.7 million in 2Q23 and R$232.6 million in 3Q22. The main effects on Cash Flow were:

  • Operating Cash Flow: Generation of R$170.7 million in this quarter, mainly with the receipt of ticket values for Taylor Swift concerts, Primavera Sound festival and musical The Lion King.
  • Cash Flow from Investments: The positive Cash Flow from Investments of R$3.2 million is due to:
    (i) reclassification between Cash Flow from Investments and Operating Cash Flow (ii) investments in management and development software also from the INTI ticket office and (iii) investments in modernization of the Renault Theater and improvement of its surroundings for the premiere of the musical The Lion King.

Results - 3Q23

  • Financing Cash Flow: Cash consumption in this line of R$133.9 million due to the early settlement of all our debentures, as well as the short-term lines contracted in 2Q23.
  • Finally, there was a negative exchange variation of R$ 0.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, due to the appreciation of the real against the dollar, impacting foreign currency availabilities and assets.

As a result, we ended 3Q23 with no indebtedness, with only lease liabilities between Gross Cash and Net Cash.
