In this context, we are currently targeting revenue for the first quarter of 2024 in the US$52.5 million to US$53.5 million range, implying a YoY growth of 22% on an FX neutral basis in the middle of the range.

For the full year 2024, we expect FX neutral YoY revenue growth of 18% to 22%, implying a range of US$234 million to US$243 million based on January’s average FX rate.

For the full year 2024, as we continue executing our strategy for profitable growth, we anticipate free cash flow and non-GAAP operating income margins to reach mid-to-high single digits.

We are confident in VTEX’s ability to navigate the uncertainties posed by the current macroeconomic scenario. We are empowering our customers to digitally transform their commerce operations while helping them to outperform the market.
