From 2019 to 2023, our revenue CAGR was 35%, of which 60% originated from mature economies nowadays, especially in the US. Notably, we've seen a significant improvement in diversifying our client base, with revenue from our top ten clients improving from 67% in 2020 to under 40% in 2023. Now, powered by the AI revolution, we're entering a new cycle of growth by driving innovation and delivering impactful results to our clients."
Comments on the 4Q23 financial performance
In 4Q23, net revenue was R$522.6 million, compared to R$611.8 million in 4Q22, a reduction of 14.6%. In 4Q23, the number of clients with revenues above R$10 million in the last twelve months increased to 50, from 38 in 4Q22.
In 4Q23, the Adjusted EBITDA was R$103.6 million, compared to R$127.4 million in 4Q22, an 18.7% reduction, primarily attributed to the decrease in the gross profit margin, partially mitigated by the reduction in SG&A expenses, as a result of lower personnel expenses in 2023. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.8% in the quarter.
Income tax expense was R$13.8 million in 4Q23, compared to R$32.2 million in 4Q22. Income tax paid (cash impact) was R$1.9 million in 4Q23 and R$14.8 million in 4Q22. The income tax reduction from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes was R$10.5 million in 4Q23 and R$10.1 million in 4Q22, reducing the income tax paid in cash.
Thus, in 4Q23, we reported a net profit of R$22.9 million, compared to a net profit of R$22.4 million in 4Q22. Adjusted Net Profit was R$48.9 million, an increase of 13.2% compared to R$43.2 million in 4Q22, mainly due to lower income tax and financial expenses. Consequently, the Adjusted Net Profit margin was 9.4%, an improvement of 2.3 percentage points year-over-year.
Comments on the 2023 financial performance
In 2023, net revenue was R$2,233.5 million, 2.1% higher than in 2022. Net Revenue growth at constant currency was 4.1%. The revenue distribution by geography was 44% from North America, 41% from Latam, 10% from Europe, and 5% from Asia Pacific.
In 2023, the Adjusted EBITDA was R$432.1 million, 3.5% higher than in 2022, mainly attributed to the successful implementation of our management's cost and expense optimization plan, evidenced by the reduction in SG&A expenses in 2023. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.3% in the year, 0.2 percentage points higher than in 2022.
Income tax expense was R$76.7 million in 2023, compared to R$104.6 million in 2022, a reduction of 26.6%. Income tax paid (cash impact) was R$27.4 million in 2023 (cash tax rate of 13.1%) and R$48.3 million in 2022 (cash tax rate of 24.1%). The income tax reduction from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes was R$41.4 million in 2023 and R$40.5 million in 2022, reducing the income tax paid in cash.
The net profit increased 38.5%, from R$95.7 million in 2022 to R$132.6 million in 2023. Adjusted Net Profit was R$193.9 million, 14.4% higher than in 2022, mainly due to lower SG&A expenses and income taxes paid. As a result, the Adjusted Net Profit margin was 8.7%.
Cash generated from operating activities was R$414.3 million in 2023, compared to R$160.7 million in 2022, an increase of 157.9%. Free cash flow (net cash from operating activities less Capex) was R$271.1 million in 2023. CI&T ended 2023 with a cash position of R$214.8 million, including financial investments. Total loans and borrowings (current and non-current) were R$727.5 million in 2023, compared to R$989.8 million in 2022, a reduction of R$262.3 million, due to the robust amount of cash generated in 2023.
Business Outlook
We expect our net revenue in the first quarter of 2024 to be at least R$520 million on a reported basis, assuming an average FX rate of 5.00 BRL/USD in 1Q24.
For the full year of 2024, we expect our net revenue growth at constant currency to be in the range of -2.5% to +2.5% year-over-year. In addition, we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 17% to 19%.
These expectations are forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Basis of accounting and functional currency
CI&T maintains its books and records in Brazilian reais, which is the presentation currency of its audited consolidated financial statements, and the functional currency of our operations in Brazil. CI&T prepares its audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
We regularly monitor certain financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. These non-IFRS financial measures include Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Net Profit Margin, Net Revenue at Constant Currency, and Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency. They should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but not as substitutes for IFRS results. In addition, our calculation of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures are provided as additional information to enhance investors’ understanding of our operations’ historical and current financial performance.
CI&T is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure because it cannot reasonably predict the outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses, the tax effect of non-IFRS measures, foreign currency exchange gains/losses, and other items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on our IFRS-reported results for the guidance period.
We calculate Net Revenue at Constant Currency and Net Revenue Growth at Constant Currency by translating Net Revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies into Brazilian reais using the comparable foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations.
In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, we exclude cost components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods presented, the adjustments applied were: (i) depreciation and amortization related to costs of services provided and (ii) stock-based compensation expenses.
In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented as Net Profit, plus net finance costs, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus: (i) stock-based compensation expenses; (ii) government grants related to tax reimbursement in our Chinese subsidiary; (iii) acquisition-related expenses, including the present value and fair value adjustment to accounts payable for business acquired, consulting expenses, and retention packages; and (iv) business restructuring expenses, associated with senior employees' separation from acquired companies.
In calculating Adjusted Net Profit, we exclude components unrelated to the direct management of our services. For the periods presented, the adjustments applied were acquisition-related expenses, including amortization of intangible assets from acquired companies, present value and fair value adjustments to accounts payable for business acquired, consulting expenses, retention packages, and the tax effects of non-IFRS adjustments.

You should read this press release with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from our expectations. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements in this press release. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, those relating to: the ongoing war in Ukraine and the economic sanctions imposed by Western economies on Russia, as well as the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and their impact on our business and industry; the impact of competition on our business; uncertainty regarding the demand for and market utilization of our services; our ability to maintain or acquire new client relationships; general business and economic conditions; our ability to successfully integrate the recent-acquired business; the impact of pandemics, epidemics and disease outbreak; and our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy and strategic plans.
