SÃO PAULO, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday (17), StoneCo Ltd.

"We achieved strong growth with market share gains, accelerated client addition, and had solid evolution in the banking strategy. We continue to evolve consistently, balancing growth and profitability, improving our take rates sequentially", says Stone CEO, Thiago Piau. "Our growth strategy linked to greater discipline in cost and expense efficiencies reflected in consistent improvement in our profitability: we doubled our adjusted profit compared to the last quarter", he adds.

Adjusted EBT (Earnings Before Taxes) totaled R$ 211 million (97% compared to 2Q22), with an EBT margin of 8.4%, a 3.8 percentage points sequential improvement. The result exceeded the R$ 125 million guidance by 69%, especially due to adjustments in pricing policy and efficiency gains. Adjusted net income was R$ 162.5 million with an Adjusted Net Margin of 6.5% in 3Q22, compared to R$ 76.5 million in 2Q22.

In MSMBs, TPV grew by 44.7% year over year to R$ 74.7 billion and the take rate (revenue/TPV) reached 2.21%, mainly as a result of continuous pricing efforts to offset the higher level of funding costs.
