Total Payment Volume (TPV) totaled R$ 136.3 billion, +36.5% higher vs. Q3 2023, driven by all merchants’ segments, described below:
•MSMB TPV increased +25.9% y/y, primarily driven by robust POS sales activity during the quarter, greater adoption of PIX QR Code, enhanced productivity in HUBs, geographic expansion to regions with lower market share, and the attraction of micro-merchants and SMBs.
•LMEC TPV grew +61.6% y/y mostly due to the successful execution of our strategy, moving up in the pyramid and attracting accretive larger retail merchants as well as an increasing penetration in the online segment, including e-commerce and cross-border. It is important to note that this move comes with an effect on client and product mix.
Active Merchants, which consists of Banking + Payments Clients and standalone Payments Clientsended the quarter with a total of 6.4 million, representing a decrease of -3.6% vs. Q3 2023. This decline is primarily due to a reduction in the number of nano-merchants (with monthly TPV below R$ 1,000), aligned with our strategic focus. Since 2022, the Company has prioritized clients with stronger unit economics, higher activation ratio, and greater engagement in Banking over mere net additions. We have also enhanced our onboarding and risk assessment procedures to reduce chargebacks and losses, which has positively impacted our gross profit over recent quarters.
As a result, our TPV per Merchant reached R$ 21.2 thousand in Q3 2024, +42.5% higher vs. Q3 2023.

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.
2.Prepayment to Merchants is net of Accounts Receivable Securitization
Credit Portfolio reached R$ 3.2 billion in Q3 2024, mainly driven by our focus on expanding secured products, which represented 85% of the portfolio, such as payroll loans and credit cards backed by investments. This strategy has enabled the Company to expand its portfolio while prioritizing asset quality risk management, and capital allocation.
In 3Q24, we started to gradually resume credit underwriting for unsecured products, including working capital loans for merchants backed by receivables registry, credit card limits and overdraft account as a result of the continued improvement in asset quality, onboarding, risk assessment and collections. It is important to note, however, that current ‘Working Capital Loans’ show mainly the previous operation to micro-merchants which is being runed-off.
Expanded Credit Portfolio, which includes Prepayment to Merchants, reached R$ 44.2 billion in Q3 2024, driven mainly by the TPV expansion in our core segment, MSMB (+26% y/y) and the performance of our ‘Instant Settlement” feature.

1.As % of CDI (Brazilian Interbank Rate).
Total Deposits reached R$ 34.2 billion, representing an increase of +58.6% vs. Q3 2023, mainly driven by the +98.8% y/y growth in Banking Issuances, led by Certificate of Deposits issued on, in addition to the increase in Checking Accounts, amounting R$ 10.5 billion, up +8.9% y/y, with Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 47.3% CDI (Brazilian Interbank Rate). The overall APY reduction in both Checking Accounts and Banking Issuances is a result of initiatives put in place this quarter to reduce the Company’s cost of funding considering the current interest rate scenario.
When considering other sources of funding, such as Borrowings, Certificate of Deposits with Related Parties and Senior FIDC quotas Total Funding reached R$ 38.0 billion, increasing 72.4% y/y, as a result of not only the increase in Total Deposits but also the Company’s efforts to diversify its funding sources aiming at a more balanced capital structure.

As a percentage of Total Revenue and Income, Financial Costs decreased to 20.0% in Q3 2024 vs. 20.4% in Q3 2023, mainly resulting from strong the growth in deposits in addition to the Brazilian Basic Interest Rate (SELIC) decrease between periods, partially offset by TPV growth.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, Financials Costs increased mainly due to TPV performance, and the higher number of working days in the period (accrued more interest), with marginal impact from the SELIC rate increase in late September (+25 bps). During Q3 2024, the Company took initiatives to reposition some of its CDI-linked products aiming to mitigate a possible interest hike in the next quarters.

Income Tax and Social Contribution amounted to an expense of R$ 62 million in Q3 2024, representing a decrease of -38.4% vs. Q3 2023. The Effective Tax Rate (ETR) decreased in comparison to Q2 2024, reaching 10.5%, mainly driven by a legal entity abroad and benefits from “Lei do Bem” eligibility. 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 (34%) was mainly related to:
•Technological Innovation Law (“Lei do Bem”), which reduces income tax charges based on investments made in innovation and technology (related to the capitalized amount of intangible assets), such as those made by PagSeguro Brazil, our Brazilian operating subsidiary; and
•Gains from subsidiaries abroad subject to different statutory tax rates. Certain entities or investment funds adopt different taxation regimes in accordance with the applicable rules in their respective jurisdictions.

Net Income in Q3 2024 amounted to R$ 572 million, representing an increase of +30.0%, from R$ 440 million reported in Q3 2023, as a result of the stronger operational and financial performance.
Including Non-GAAP expenses of R$ 41 million, Net Income on GAAP basis totaled R$ 531 million in Q2 2024, up +29.3% when compared to R$ 411 million reported in Q3 2023.
In 3Q24, diluted EPS increased 31.1% compared to the same period last year, from R$ 1.56 in 3Q23 to R$ 1.66 in 3Q24, primarily due to higher earnings and the impact of our share buyback program, by reducing the total number of outstanding shares through the buyback, we enhanced shareholder value preventing dilution. During this quarter, the Company concluded its First Buyback Program (US$ 250 million, started in 2018) and launched its Second Buyback Program of US$ 200 million. In the last twelve months, the Company bought approximately 11 million shares.

Net Cash used in Operating Activities in Q3 2024 totaled R$ 689 million, compared to R$ 972 million of Net Cash from Operating Activities in Q3 2023.
Changes in Operating Assets/Liabilities in Q3 2024 amounted to a cash outflow of R$ 2,560 million, representing an increase of +146.9% from a cash outflow of R$ 1,037 million in Q3 2023, mainly due to higher values recorded of Accounts Receivable (amounting to R$ 2,530 million in the period), given higher amount of funds owed to us as a financial intermediary in transactions with issuing banks. These receivables are shown net of transaction costs and financial expenses incurred when we opt for early payment. These effects were partially offset by the y/y inflow of Deposits (Banking Issuances, Checking Accounts and Payables to Related Parties) which resulted in an increase in funding made during the quarter.
Net Cash provided in Investing Activities in Q3 2024 totaled R$ 27 million, representing an increase of R$ 530 million vs. Q3 2023, mainly due to the redemption of financial investments to meet mandatory requirements based on deposit levels. In addition, our Capital Expenditures amounted R$637 million, -8% lower when compared to Q2 2024, mainly driven by our strong commercial activities and inventory management, in which directed investments toward the purchase of Property and Equipment (mainly POS terminals) and Intangible Assets. These intangible investments, focused on product development, data security, and client experience, are capitalized for tax efficiency purposes.
Net Cash from Financing Activities in Q2 2024, totaled R$ 8 million, representing an increase of R$ 226 million in comparison to Q3 2023. This change is mainly related to borrowings agreements totaling R$ 3,000 million aimed at diversifying the Company’s funding structure and protecting the risk from interest rate volatility. These instruments have a short maturity period of three-months counted from the execution date and the payment will occur in a single installment and interest set at 108% of the CDI. This positive impact was partially offset by the repayment of R$ 2,549 million in borrowings and the treasury shares repurchase program initiated in 3Q24, under which the Company may repurchase up to US$ 200 million in outstanding class A common shares.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
This earnings 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, M&A expenses and non-recurring 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 included elsewhere in this earnings release.
