Promising early results of Zenvia Customer Cloud soft launch, with healthy levels of recurring revenue, churn and crossed adoption
SÃO PAULO, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zenvia Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENV), the leading cloud-based CX solution in Latin America empowering companies to craft personal, engaging and fluid experiences throughout the customer journey, today reported its operational and financial metrics for the second quarter of 2024.
Cassio Bobsin, Founder & CEO of ZENVIA, said: “During the quarter, we kept our focus on rolling out Zenvia Customer Cloud, and we are pleased to report that the launch has been met with enthusiasm from our clients. We also released in June our cutting-edge Generative AI Chatbot solution, which delivers value in just under six minutes and, within two months of its launch, has already resulted in 99 chatbots developed by companies across eight sectors in Latin America. We are excited about the opportunities these innovations present and remain committed to driving continued growth and strengthening our leadership position in the market. Our team’s dedication and the positive response from our clients underscore our confidence in the transformative potential of these solutions and our ability to exceed expectations as we move forward.”
Shay Chor, CFO & IRO of ZENVIA, said: “We achieved another quarter of solid revenue growth in Q2 2024, with margins remaining within our guidance range, despite the fact that the revenue increase was mainly driven by large enterprises in both segments, which typically have lower margins. A key highlight of the quarter is the significant reduction in G&A expenses, which was down more than 10% YoY in Q2, attesting our continued commitment to rigorous cost control, and positively impacting our EBITDA. Looking ahead, we are focused on maintaining this momentum, rolling out Zenvia Customer Cloud and unlocking profitable value from our operations to keep deleveraging the business.”

(1) For a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP Gross Profit to Gross Profit, see Selected Financial Data section below.
(2) We calculate Non-GAAP Gross Margin as Non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by revenue.
(3) For a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to Loss for the Period, see Selected Financial Data section below.
(4) For a reconciliation of our Normalized EBITDA to Loss for the Period, see Selected Financial Data section below.
(5) In December 2023, the Company identified that the allowance for expected credit losses and cost with amortization of intangibles was understated. The calculation was reassessed in the annual financial statements and Management has retrospectively revised the first six months of 2023 for comparison purposes.
(6) We define an Active Customer as an account (based on a corporate taxpayer registration number) at the end of any period that was the source of any amount of revenue for us in the preceding three months. We classify a customer from which we generated no revenue in the preceding three months as an Inactive Customer.
Highlights Q2 2024
Revenues totaled BRL 231.2 million, up 19.8% when compared to BRL 192.9 million in Q2 2023 as a result of both SaaS (+15.6% YoY) and CPaaS (+22.1%) expansion. CPaaS and SaaS saw growth mainly from large enterprise customers.Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit of BRL 100.2 million was up 20.4% YoY while Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin was mainly stable, up by 0.2 percentage points to the expected level of 43.3% YoY as highlighted in our guidance for 2024. This decrease is due to:
(i) Higher mix of CPaaS in the period, principally from large enterprises with lower margins; and
(ii) Lower SaaS margins, which also grew more in large enterprises with lower margins.
Total number of active customers decreased to 11.8k, being 6.8k from SaaS and 5.5k from CPaaS. This decrease reflects a client-base cleanup, combining the rollout of Zenvia Customer Cloud – that unifies SaaS clients’ contracts – with a drop in smaller CPaaS clients which used lower volumes of SMS and were less profitable.Normalized EBITDA was positive BRL 33.7 million in the quarter, up 126.1% from Q2 2023, benefiting from higher revenues and strict expense control.On June 19, we announced the launch of our Generative AI Chatbot, a game-changing solution to revolutionize chatbot development, making it as simple and intuitive as a personal interaction and accessible to businesses of all sizes looking to improve and automate customer service. Key highlights include easy customization and efficient integration with multiple communication channels, ensuring a superior solution for all customer needs. Within two months of its launch, 99 chatbots were already developed by companies across eight industry sectors in Latin America.The migration of the client base to Zenvia Customer Cloud has already started, with a full rollout expected by the H1 2025. To date, we could observe healthy levels of recurring revenue, churn, and cross-adoption.
Highlights H1 2024
Revenues totaled BRL 443.8 million, up 19.3% when compared to BRL 372.0 million in H1 2023 as a result of both SaaS (+13.8% YTD) and CPaaS (+22.5%) expansion.Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit of BRL 193.8 million was up 10.3% YTD while Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin was down 3.6 percentage points YoY to the expected level of 43.7%.Normalized EBITDA was positive BRL 56.8 million in the quarter, up 150.0% from H1 2023, which is in line with our expectations and in line to deliver the full year guidance of BRL 120 million to BRL 140 million.

(1) For a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit of our SaaS business segment to Gross Profit of our SaaS business segment, see Selected Financial Data section below.
(2) We calculate Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin of our SaaS business segment as Non-GAAP Gross Profit of our SaaS business segment divided by revenue of our SaaS business segment.
(3) We define an Active Customer as an account (based on a corporate taxpayer registration number) at the end of any period that was the source of any amount of revenue for us in the preceding three months. We classify a customer from which we generated no revenue in the preceding three months as an Inactive Customer.
In Q2 2024, our SaaS business Revenue went up 15.6% YoY to BRL 78.0 million, compared to BRL 67.5 million in Q2 2023, primarily from large enterprise customers, especially in the Consulting business that has a low base of comparison in Q2 2023. In H1 2024, our SaaS business revenue increased 13.8%.
As a result, Q2 2024 Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit was mainly stable, up 1.3% YoY to BRL 42.5 million from BRL 42.0 million. It is worth noting that the soft launch of Zenvia Customer Cloud began at the end of Q1 2024, and the team is focused on rolling out all functionalities by Q4 2024, when we expect to launch the full marketing campaign.
The revenue increase came mostly from large enterprises that carry lower margins, leading to lower Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin from SaaS. Despite being down by 7.7 percentage points YoY to 54.5%, this margin level is expected, given that the large enterprise business carries lower margins when compared to the pure software business of circa 50%. For the same reason, in H1 2024, our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit was down 2.9%, which resulted in an expected decrease of 9.5 percentage points in our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin.

(2) We calculate Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin of our CPaaS business segment as Non-GAAP Gross Profit of our CPaaS business segment divided by revenue of our CPaaS business segment.
(3) We define an active customer as an account (based on a corporate taxpayer registration number) at the end of any period that was the source of any amount of revenue for us in the preceding three months. We classify a customer from which we generated no revenue in the preceding three months as an inactive customer.
Our CPaaS business reported Net Revenues of BRL 153.2 million in Q2 2024, up 22.1% YoY, while Non-GAAP Gross Profit increased 39.8% YoY to BRL 57.7 million from BRL 41.2 million in Q2 2023. Non-GAAP Gross Margin reached 37.6%, compared to 32.9% in Q2 2023, mainly due to opportunities of unusually high margins with certain large enterprises.
In H1 2024, our CPaaS business reported Net Revenues of BRL 289.0 million, up 22.5% YTD, with our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit increasing at a similar rate, leading to a Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin of 37.4%, up 0.4 p.p. YoY.
It is worth noting that the decrease in the active customer base was primarily due to the clean-up and removal of smaller CPaaS clients who were not generating revenue. This move reflects our focus on retaining customers that contribute with revenues and EBITDA generation as attested by the 22% increase in CPaaS top line and 40% increase in Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit during the quarter.
Consolidated Financial Results
Revenue
Consolidated revenues in Q2 2024 totaled BRL 231.2 million, up 19.8% YoY, reflecting the increases of 22.1% in CPaaS and 15.6% in SaaS. In H1 2024 consolidated revenues totaled BRL 443.8 million, up 19.3% YTD, reflecting the increases of 22.5% in CPaaS and 13.8% in SaaS. The soft launch of Zenvia Customer Cloud began at the end of Q1 2024, and the team is focused on rolling out all functionalities by Q4 2024, when we expect to launch the full marketing campaign.
Profitability
Our Consolidated Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit went up by 20.4% YoY in Q2 2024 to BRL 100.2 million, mainly reflecting the 39.8% increase in CPaaS Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit. Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin was stable YoY, up by 0.2 p.p. to 43.3% in Q2 2024 from 43.1% in Q2 2023. Higher than expected CPaaS margins were able to offset lower SaaS margins, as the latter also expanded more with large enterprise customers. In addition, we had a higher share of CPaaS in the revenue mix, of 66.3% in Q2 2024 compared to 65.0% in Q2 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2024 was positive BRL 33.7 million, compared to BRL 14.9 million in Q2 2023. The 125.5% increase is mainly due to higher revenues and stricter expense control. Normalized EBITDA amounted to BRL 56.8 million in H1 2024, which compares to BRL 22.7 million in the same period of 2023. Our LTM Normalized EBITDA has reached BRL 110.2 million in June 2024, which puts us on track to delivering on the 2024 guidance.

We also believe that the disclosure of our Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit for our SaaS business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit for our CPaaS business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin for our SaaS business segment, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin for our CPaaS business segment, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA.

Halal Route Application – Eat, Travel around Thailand, Safe and Sound Halal Style
Published

September 20, 2024By
BANGKOK, Thailand, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Halal Science Center, Chulalongkorn University has developed Halal Route, an application that lists restaurants, lodging, mosques, prayer directions, and tourist attractions in Thailand under Islamic tourism principles. It hopes to help Muslim tourists travel in Thailand with peace of mind, and supports tourism industry operators to grow and welcome a growing number of Muslim tourists.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) predicts that in 2024 there will be around 168 million Islamic tourists worldwide. According to the Mastercard-Crescent Rating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI 2024), Thailand is the 32nd most popular destination for Muslim tourists. However, the major problem Muslim tourists encounter in Thailand is finding Halal-accredited restaurants, hotels, accommodations, or tourist attractions with service areas (such as prayer rooms) that are compliant with the Islamic way.
“Halal Route” is a travel aggregator app that collects searchable information on Halal restaurants, mosques, prayer locations, times, and directions for prayers (the qibla), tourist attractions, Muslim villages or communities, hotels, accommodations, etc. This app is linked to Google Maps for navigation with precision. It also supports 3 languages, Thai, English, and Arabic, so that Muslim tourists can live and travel more comfortably and with peace of mind,” said Mr.Erfun Weahama, Science Service Officer, Halal Route App development team.
Dr. Anat Denyingyot, Assistant Director of the Halal Science Center, emphasized that the Halal Route application has the most reliable and comprehensive information on halal tourism in Thailand today. “All restaurants and locations have had on-site visits and are audited according to standards approved by a trusted authority or organization, such as certifications from religious organizations or halal food-related entities, as well as management systems to guarantee and be responsible for halal conditions (the HAL-Q system),” Dr. Anat assured.
Currently, the application has more than 1,100 restaurants in its database, and new locations and services are being updated, covering more than 40 provinces from north to south of Thailand that are popular among tourists.
“Halal Route is not only for navigation, but a platform that connects Muslim communities from around the world who have the opportunity to visit Thailand,” Associate Professor Dr.Winai Dahlan, Director of the Halal Science Center concluded.
The Halal Route application is free to download on both iOS and Android systems.
