Message from Management

The year 2022 was a milestone in the trajectory of CVC Corp in terms of Digital Transformation and the development of "omnichannelity", with relevant deliveries such as a new storefront system as well as interaction with customers in B2C, Customer Loyalty Program (called "Clube CVC"), Financing Center (or Credit Marketplace), and dynamic product pricing system. These deliveries have allowed us to seek new levels of efficiency and will make it possible for us to enjoy greater operating efficiency and, consequently, operating leverage. Also noteworthy was the evolution of our CRM, which already exceeds 34 million contactable customers, thus creating support for a relationship journey through targeted campaigns that will contribute toward higher conversion and greater customer loyalty, our CRM is already integrated with the new B2C platform and with all sales channels (website, store and app).

An amount of more than R$ 400 million has been invested in technology since 2020, of which more than R$ 240 million was in 2022 alone, an absolute record for the company that ends a more accelerated cycle of tool development. Due to everything that was done throughout 2022, CVC won, for the 12th consecutive year, the Top-of-Mind award in the "Tourism Agency" category and made its debut in the new "Tourism Application" category.

In line with the digitalization strategy, several weeks ago we launched ConecTaaS, a new platform for integrating APIs, which increases connectivity and facilitates access for CVC agencies to sell products. The platform is plug-and-play, and functions like a product showcase.

With the aim of expanding the means of payment and convenience for our customers, we recently started to allow the use of Livelo (rewards program) points, which can be used to cover the total or partial amount of the purchase of travel products. This new offering is now available throughout the CVC network, and all Livelo customers can enjoy this new benefit at all CVC brick-and-mortar locations. We have a long-standing partnership with Livelo (since 2016), when we became suppliers of products related to the tourism sector, through the official website of the company's rewards program.

With regard to results, our bookings and earnings progressed throughout 2022, demonstrating the recovery of the market and the Company's performance capacity. Confirmed and consumed bookings increased both in Brazil and Argentina, and, consequently, the net revenue between periods grew as well. Our deliveries - whether in terms of results or the enhancement of our operation - are aligned with our values, especially "We Honor our Commitments".

Throughout 2022, we endeavored to support our customers in the use of travel credits resulting from the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. This amount fell 62% compared to the final balance of 2021 (from R$ 761 million to R$ 293 million). We also made progress on the operating efficiency front, which resulted in better control of expenses. In early 4Q22, we began the process of reassessing structures and streamlining suppliers, in addition to a major overhaul of internal processes. This process will extend throughout 2023 and will be supported by an external consulting firm, focusing primarily on revising operational activities.

In view of the strong recovery in sales in 2022 and the growth forecasts for the coming years, we have been constantly assessing our capital structure. Last June, the Offer of Shares of R$ 403 million was ratified, and we are currently in the final stages of negotiations for the reprofiling of our debt. We hired an advisor to assist us, and this month we released to the market a proposal for reprofiling our entire debt; the broad acceptance of this proposal indicates that we are on the right path, building a more solid and profitable company, with the support of shareholders and debenture holders. When completed, CVC Corp will have its lowest level of gross debt since 2017.

We started out 2023 with the best January in sales since the onset of the pandemic, with all areas of the company focused on bringing the best offers in products, services, and payment terms to our target audience. This is all being done in a way that is supported by a refurbished and robust IT structure, with a better customer experience, capable of supporting the increase in demand. We believe that these bases will allow us to take advantage of opportunities on the market throughout the year, and thus report sales growth and evolution in our profitability.

Bookings increased by 13.5% in 4Q22 over 4Q21, with demand for international destinations (42% increase in Brazil and 71% in Argentina compared to 4Q21) benefiting from greater availability of the airline network and frequency of flights. Furthermore, 4Q22 bookings in Brazil were positively influenced by Black Friday, which grew in relation to the 2021, but adversely affected by the World Cup, especially in B2B, and by the change of B2C platform, which despite successful in not causing inconvenience to customers, it momentarily impacted store operations in the period. It is worth mentioning that the new B2C platform allows for greater integration of the physical and digital channels, as well as a customized approach for customers in offers, purchases and service.

We also highlight our performance regarding the 2022/2023 cruise season, with an increase of more than 200% compared to 4Q21, given the expansion of offer of what is expected to be the busiest Brazilian cruise season in the last 10 years1. In January 2023, cruise product sales accounted for 20% of the B2C Business Unit's bookings; more than 25% of all passengers who boarded cruise ships within Brazil that month were customers of CVC Corp. Consolidated confirmed bookings in January 2023 totaled roughly R$ 1.4 billion.

Bookings at CVC Corp for international destinations continued to rise and accounted for 53% of confirmed bookings in the period (39% in 4Q21). Below, we detail the breakdown by destination in Brazil and Argentina:

In B2C, Consumed Bookings were down compared to 4Q21, when there was a strong resumption of local tourism, reflecting the pent-up demand following the reopening for travel as well as advanced vaccination, and also due to the higher number of long weekends. In B2B, Consumed Bookings grew 14.7% vis-à-vis 4Q21, because of the resumption of corporate events and business travel witnessed over the last three quarters. In Argentina, Consumed Bookings continued to grow, mainly to international destinations, with Almundo being the most highly representative of these bookings, driven by the FIFA World Cup.

Since the beginning of the reopening of various destinations, the Company has endeavored to assist its customers in the use of travel credits stemming from rescheduling because of the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. These amounts were significantly reduced throughout 2022, for a total a balance of R$ 292.7 million at the end of 2022, a reduction of R$ 468.5 million (or 62%) compared to the closing of 4Q21, thus reaching - at the end of 2022 - more normal levels considering the company's usual operation. It is also worth recalling that the Law 14390/222, published on July 04, 2022, extended deadlines for rescheduling and using credits available in hotels and other ground services to December 31, 2023.

Net Revenue in 2022 grew 47.9% over 2021, reflecting the performance in Consumed Bookings, contributing toward the improvement of operating income (loss). In 4Q22, Net Revenue was similar to the same period last year, with the growth in Bookings partially offset by a downturn in the take rate, due to the mix of businesses and products, such as increased sales of cruise products and lower occupancy on exclusive products at certain locations.

The Take Rate reached 8.7% in 4Q22, reflecting the strong growth of cruise products, which - despite having a lower nominal take rate compared to other products - does not require working capital. It is worth noting that 4Q21 was sustained by the increase in travel (mainly domestic), due to the greater availability of flights and pent-up demand, momentarily favoring the take rate. As a result, the take rate in 4Q22 was 0.4% lower than the

The 2022/2023 cruise season runs from October 2022 to May 2023 and - according to data from the Brazilian Cruise Lines Association (Abremar) - is expected to be the busiest in recent years, as mentioned above.

Argentina's Take Rate reached 6.9% in 4Q22, 0.5% higher than in 4Q21, driven by Ola. It is also worth mentioning that there was an increase in taxes on international travel, which were added to the value of consumed bookings (albeit with no impact on Net Revenue), thereby diluting the take rate.

On February 28, Brazil's Federal Senate approved (unaltered) the conversion of Provisional Measure 1138/2022 into Law 14537/2023, which established the reduction of the nominal rate from 25% to 6% of Withholding Income Tax (IRRF) levied on remittances abroad related to personal expenses on travel for tourism, business, services, training, or official missions from January 2023 to December 2024; thereafter, increasing by 1% per annum until 2027 (capping at 9%). This reduction aims to stimulate tourism, seeking to make tourism agencies and operators more competitive, which was one of the sectors most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with CVC Corp benefiting from this measure.
