•Product Development:

•Semantix has introduced an advanced integrated solution for the retail industry. The first module, already available, is meticulously crafted to elevate the customer journey by gathering and analyzing data from e-commerce and digital marketing channels. This, in turn, empowers retailers to enhance the overall shopping experience. Importantly, this product finds its strategic placement within those retailers who have already a data integration solution in place. Moreover, this comprehensive solution provides retailers with actionable intelligence derived from their data, granting them a competitive advantage in comprehending customer behavior and staying attuned to emerging market trends.

•Semantix introduced ChatPharma, a cutting-edge application that empowers pharmaceutical industry executives to query Semantix's unique health data set by using generative AI, facilitating rapid access to insights, including tables and charts developed by GenAI.

•Semantix has successfully integrated four AI algorithms into its health applications within hospital operations. These algorithms were implemented during the third quarter and have significantly improved the competitiveness of Semantix's products while maintaining minimal cost impact.

•Semantix has extended its GenAI Hub offering by incorporating multiple LLMs, reinforcing its truly multi-generative AI nature. The company now features specialized LLM models for a diverse range of tasks, from source code generation to natural language understanding and inference, among others. By synergizing these models, Semantix can create agents that harness the strengths of each LLM available. Beyond its appeal to Semantix's customers, the GenAI Hub also streamlines the development of Semantix's AI applications. Semantix’s GenAI hub creates an abstraction layer for companies to apply GenAI within their own infrastructure in a much simpler and secure way. The company is currently involved in numerous application development and testing initiatives in collaboration with its valued clients.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This 6-K includes certain non-IFRS financial measures and industry metrics such as EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and net cash (debt). These measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. Semantix believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors about Semantix, particularly as they exclude the impacts of certain events that we believe are isolated in nature incurred as part of our recent expansion and, therefore, not reflective of our underlying results. Semantix’s management does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these measures, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Semantix’s financial statements, including certain expenses with share based plan expenses, D&O insurance, gains from fair value of Semantix’s warrants and concentrated expenses of an extraordinary nature incurred in connection with our completed business combination with a SPAC occurred in 2022 and the earn-out compensation related to our acquisitions. In addition, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures or industry metrics differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, Semantix’s non-IFRS measures and industry metrics may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies

Other Business Metrics

Proprietary SaaS and Resale of Third-party Software: Proprietary SaaS consists of Semantix’s data platform software, while resale of third-party Software consists of the resale of licenses from third-party data platform software providers.

Customers with Trailing 12-Month Revenue Greater than US$1 Million: Large customer relationships lead to scale and operating leverage in our business model. Compared with smaller customers, large customers present a greater opportunity for us to sell additional capacity because they have larger budgets, and a wider range of potential use cases. As a measure of our ability to scale with our customers and attract large enterprises, we count the number of customers that contributed more than US$1 million in revenues in the trailing 12 months, considering the Brazilian real to US Dollar exchange rate as of September 30, 2023. Our customer count is subject to adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity.

Net Cash (Debt): Net cash (debt) reflects Semantix’s cash and cash equivalents balance at a given date in time, net of the loans and borrowings balance as of the same date.
