- Free cash flow grew 79% year-over-year, reaching a margin of 19.8%.
- Non-GAAP subscription gross margin improved to 81.8%, up 2 percentage points year-over-year, driven by AI-powered automation and cost discipline.
- The VTEX CX platform showed strong adoption, with sales cycles down over 50% and implementation time reduced from 30 days to one week.
- Subscription revenue growth was weak, with FX-neutral growth of only 1.3% in Q2, below internal expectations.
- The macro environment in Brazil and Argentina remains challenging, with high interest rates and softer consumer demand pressuring near-term growth.
- The core B2C commerce business in Brazil and Latin America declined modestly on an FX-neutral basis, impacted by volume and customer mix shifts.
