On February 12, 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) issued ‘Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8)’ providing a new definition of accounting estimates to help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. |
The management of the Company does not anticipate that the application of this amendment will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has not opted for early application. |
• |
On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued ‘Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2)’ to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. |
The management of the Company does not anticipate that the application of this amendment will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has not opted for early application. |
4.2 Intangible assets (update)
Intangible assets include licenses, customer relationships,
customer contracts, non-compete agreements and cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies
The Company accounts for its crypto assets as
indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that is considered
to be an indefinite lived intangible asset because bitcoin lacks physical form and there is no limit to its useful life, bitcoin is not
subject to amortization but it is tested for impairment.
The Company’s crypto assets are initially recorded
at cost. Subsequently, they are measured at cost, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition. The Company performs monthly
analysis to identify possible impairment. If the carrying value of the crypto asset exceeds the fair value based on the quoted price in
the active exchange market, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value and the book
value in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Gains, if any, will not be recognize until realized upon sale in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income. Further details are disclosed in note 11. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not recognized
any impairment.

by IFRS 13, as follows:
• |
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
• |
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). |
• | Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. |

There were no transfers of financial assets between
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
The Company has applied the market approach technique
in order to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between
market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities.
When the inputs required by the market approach
are not available, the Company applies the income approach technique. The income approach technique estimates the fair value of an asset
or a liability by converting future amounts (e.g. cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (i.e., discounted) amount. When
the income approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts.
There were also no changes made to any of the
valuation techniques applied as of December 31, 2020.
5.2.1 – Foreign exchange future and forward contracts
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
the Argentinian subsidiary Sistemas Globales, S.A., acquired foreign exchange futures contracts through SBS Sociedad de Bolsa S.A. (SBS)
in U.S. dollars, with the purpose of hedging the possible decrease of assets’ value held in Argentine pesos due to the risk of exposure
to fluctuations in foreign currency. The foreign exchange futures contracts were recognized, according to IFRS 9, as financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has recognized a loss of 320, there
were no future contracts transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
These futures contracts have daily settlements,
in which the futures value changes daily. Sistemas Globales S.A. recognizes daily variations in SBS primary accounts, and the gains or
losses generated by each daily position through profit or loss. Thus, at the closing of each day, according to the future price of the
exchange rate U.S. dollar – Argentine peso, the companies perceive a gain or loss for the difference. As of March 31, 2021,
the accrued valuation of the last day of the month will be settled with the bank in the first day of the next month, so the value recognize
in the financial statements is the amount pending to settle with the bank for the last day valuation. The Company maintains as of March 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020, one and three foreign exchange futures contract with a maturity date of April 1, 2021 and January 31,
2021, respectively, 22 and 7 recognized as Other financial liabilities in the balance sheet, respectively.

forward and future contracts to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the salaries payable in Argentine pesos, Colombian pesos,
Uruguayan pesos, Chilean pesos, Indian rupee and Mexican pesos. The Company designated those derivatives as hedging instruments in
respect of foreign currency risk in cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow
hedges.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value
of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive
income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item
from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is
included in the “other financial results, net” line item. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized
hedged item (i.e., Salaries, employee benefits and social security taxes).
During the three months ended March 31, 2021
and 2020, the Company recognized a net loss of 665 and 1,695, included in the line item “Salaries, employee benefits and social security

The increase is also explained by the addition of the employees of acquired companies during 2021 and 2020. |

The ESPP permits participants to purchase Common
Shares through payroll deductions of generally 10.0% of their eligible compensation. The ESPP will typically be implemented through consecutive
six-month offering periods. Amounts deducted and accumulated from participant compensation will be used to purchase Common Shares at the
end of each offering period. Under the terms of the ESPP, the purchase price of the shares shall not be less than 90.0% of the lower of
the fair market value of a Common Share on the first trading day of the offering period or on the purchase date. Subject to adjustment
as provided by the ESPP and unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, the purchase price for each offering period shall
be 90% of the fair market value of a Common Share on the purchase date. As of March 31, 2021, there has not been any offering period.

the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31,2022, no later than March 31, 2023.

• The amounts recognized as of the acquisition
date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the total amount of goodwill (including a qualitative description

Business Update Regarding COVID-19
The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global
pandemic continued to cause substantial global public health, business, and economic challenges during the three months ended March 31,
2021 and has remained a significant source of disruption and uncertainty. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we quickly adapted to ensure
both safety and business continuity by shifting the vast majority of our personnel to productive and secure remote working arrangements
and by responding to the rapidly changing needs and environments of our clients. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we
continued to experience increased demand in our geographies, segments, and service offerings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but
we cannot accurately predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to directly and indirectly impact our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
For additional information on the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, see “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The
COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant and continuing adverse impact upon, and this or other pandemics may have a material adverse impact
upon, our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition” below, and for further information on the various risks
posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Part I. Item 3D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The extent to which the coronavirus (‘COVID-19’) outbreak and measures taken in response thereto impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict”
in our 2020 Form 20-F.
Year-to-Date 2021 Developments and Trends
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our revenues were $270.2
million, an increase of $78.6 million, or 41.0%, from $191.6 million reported for the same period of 2020. We have built an increasingly
diversified portfolio across numerous verticals, geographies and service offerings which allowed us to continue to grow revenues despite
challenges posed by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” in our 2020 Form 20-F.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2021 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2020
Revenues
Revenues were $270.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $78.6 million, or 41.0%, from $191.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2020.
Revenues are derived primarily from providing
technology services to our clients, which are medium to large-sized companies based in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Revenues consist of technology services revenues and reimbursable expenses, which primarily include travel and out-of-pocket costs that
are billable to clients. We discuss below the breakdown of our revenues by contract type, client location, industry vertical and client
concentration.
Revenues by Contract Type
We perform our services primarily under time and
material contracts and, to a lesser extent, fixed-price contracts. The remaining portion of our revenues in each period was derived from
other types of contracts.

Revenues by Client Location
Our revenues are sourced from three main geographic
markets: North America (primarily the United States), Europe (primarily Spain and the United Kingdom) and Latin America (primarily Argentina,
Chile, Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Colombia). We present our revenues by client location based on the location of the specific client site
that we serve, irrespective of the location of the headquarters of the client or the location of the delivery center where the work is
performed. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, we had 860 active clients.

Revenues by Industry Vertical
We are a provider of technology services to enterprises
in a range of industry verticals including media and entertainment, professional services, technology and telecommunications, banks, financial
services and insurance, consumer, retail and manufacturing, travel and hospitality, and health care, among others. The following table
sets forth our revenues by amount and as a percentage of our revenues by industry vertical for the periods indicated:

The increase in revenues from clients in the banks,
financial services and insurance industry vertical was primarily attributable to higher demand for services related to scalable platforms
and consulting services.
The increase in revenues from clients in the media
and entertainment industry vertical was primarily attributable to a higher demand for services related to digital content solutions, scalable
platforms and gaming.
The increase in revenues from clients in the consumer,
retail and manufacturing industry vertical was primarily attributable to higher demand for services related to scalable platforms and
Salesforce industry solutions and enterprise applications.
The increase in revenues from clients in the professional
services industry vertical was primarily attributable to higher demand for services related to Internet of Things (“IOT”)
consultancy and scalable platforms.
The increase in revenues from clients in the technology
and telecommunications industry vertical was primarily attributable to higher demand in scalable platforms services, enterprise applications
and the cross-selling capabilities of our Studios.
The decrease in revenues from clients in the travel
and hospitality industry vertical was primarily attributable to the decrease in demand for scalable platform services considering that
these clients were adversely impacted by the ongoing disruption to those industries resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increase in revenues from clients in the health
care vertical was mainly attributable to higher demand for services related to enterprise applications, Salesforce solutions and scalable
platforms.
Revenues by Client Concentration
We have increased our revenues by expanding the
scope and size of our engagements, and we have grown our key client base primarily through our business development efforts and referrals
from our existing clients.
The following table sets forth revenues contributed
by our largest client, top 5 clients, top 10 clients and top 20 clients, by the amount of revenues and as a percentage of our revenues
for the periods indicated:

Our top 10 clients for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 have been working with us for, on average, seven years.
The increase in revenues from our top 10 clients
in the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects our ability to increase the scope of our engagement with our main clients. Revenues
from our largest client for the three months ended March 31, 2021, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online, increased by $6.1 million,
or 27.4%, to $28.4 million for 2021 from $22.3 million for the same period in 2020.
As evidence of the increase in scope of engagement
within our client base, the number of clients that each accounted for over $5.0 million of our annual revenues increased (30 for the 12
months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 29 for the 12 months ended March 31, 2020) and the number of clients that each accounted
for at least $1.0 million of our annual revenues increased to 139 for the 12 months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 112 for the
12 months ended March 31, 2020. The following table shows the distribution of our clients by revenues for the periods indicated:
12 months ended | ||||||||
March 31, 2021 | March 31, 2020 | |||||||
Over $5 million | 30 | 29 | ||||||

$0.1 – $0.5 million | 187 | 193 | ||||||
Less than $0.1 million | 459 | 513 | ||||||
Total Clients | 860 | 876 |
The volume of work we perform for specific clients
is likely to vary from year to year, as we are typically not any client’s exclusive external technology services provider, and a major
client in one year may not contribute the same amount or percentage of our revenues in any subsequent year.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenues
The principal components of our cost of revenues
are salaries and travel costs related to the provision of services. Due to government-imposed restrictions on travel during the COVID-19
pandemic, travel costs were not material during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Included in salaries are base salary, incentive-based
compensation, employee benefits costs and social security taxes. Salaries of our IT professionals are allocated to cost of revenues regardless
of whether they are actually performing services during a given period.
Also included in cost of revenues is the portion
of depreciation and amortization expense attributable to the portion of our property and equipment and intangible assets utilized in the
delivery of services to our clients.
Our cost of revenues has increased in recent years
in line with the growth in our revenues and reflects the expansion of our operations in Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, India,
Europe and the United States, primarily due to increases in salary costs, related to the growth in the number of our IT professionals
and the opening of new delivery centers. We expect that as our revenues grow, our cost of revenues will increase. Our goal is to increase
revenue per head and thereby increase our gross profit margin.
Cost of revenues was $167.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $47.6 million, or 39.9%, from $119.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a general increase in salaries and to the net addition of 4,529 IT professionals
since March 31, 2020, an increase of 38.5%, to satisfy growing demand for our services, which translated into an increase in salaries,
together with a lower attrition level. The increase is also explained by the addition of IT professionals of acquired companies during
2021 and 2020. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 61.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from 62.3%
for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent
expenses associated with promoting and selling our services and include such items as salary of our senior management, administrative
personnel and sales and marketing personnel, infrastructure costs, legal and other professional services expenses, travel costs and other
taxes. Included in salaries are base salary, incentive-based compensation, employee benefits costs and social security taxes.
Also included in selling, general, and administrative
expenses is the portion of depreciation and amortization expense attributable to the portion of our property and equipment and intangible
assets utilized in our sales and administration functions.
Selling, general and administrative expense was
$71.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $20.0 million, or 38.6%, from $51.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Recruiting, training and other employee expenses | (2.5 | ) | (0.4 | ) | 525.0 | % |
The increase in salaries, employee benefits, social
security taxes was primarily attributable to a general increase in salaries and to the addition of 200 staff personnel since March 31,
2020. The increase is also explained by the addition of sales and administration employees of acquired companies during 2021 and 2020.
The increase in share-based compensation expense
resulted from the RSUs granted, at a higher price and the cumulative effect of grants during the comparable period of 2020.
The increase in professional services is explained
by the costs associated to IT related licenses with diverse providers and the increase of audit and legal fees for companies acquired
during 2020.
The increase in depreciation and amortization
expense was mainly related to the addition of intangible assets from the business combinations that occurred since March 31, 2020.
The decrease in travel and housing resulted from
the sharp reduction in travel and housing expenses as consequence of the COVID-19-related travel restrictions after the first quarter
of 2020, that continued into the first quarter of 2021.
The increase in recruiting, training and other
employee expenses mainly resulted from hiring more than 1,000 IT professionals during the quarter, the launch of a scholarships with Digital
House and an increase in training.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses
have increased primarily as a result of our expanding operations and the build-out of our senior and mid-level management teams to support
our growth. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute terms as our business expands.
However, as a result of our management and infrastructure investments, we believe our platform is capable of supporting the expansion
of our business without a proportionate increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses, which is expected to generate gains
in operating leverage.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense (included
in “Cost of Revenues” and “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses”)
Depreciation and amortization expense consists
primarily of depreciation of our property and equipment (primarily leasehold improvements, servers and other equipment), depreciation
of right-of-use assets (primarily office spaces and office equipment) and amortization of our intangible assets (mainly software licenses,
acquired intangible assets and internal developments). We expect that depreciation and amortization expense will continue to increase
as we open more delivery centers and client management locations and continue to acquire companies.
Net Impairment Losses on Financial Assets
Net impairment losses on financial assets mainly
include impairment of trade receivables, which represents an allowance for bad debts for expected credit losses. The amount of expected
credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. During the three months ended
March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a loss of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to the recognition of an allowance
for bad debts. The decrease is mainly explained by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020.
Finance Income
Finance income consists of interest gains on time
deposits, financed clients and savings accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, finance income amounted to
$0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Finance Expense
Finance expense includes interests on borrowings,
lease contracts, banking fees and other finance expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, finance expense
amounted to $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Other Financial Results, Net
Other financial results, net consists of foreign
exchange gain or loss on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the relevant functional currencies (mainly
the U.S. dollar), gain or loss on transactions with bonds, gain or loss on bills issued by the Treasury of the Argentine Republic (LETES),
foreign exchange forward contracts and future contracts, and mutual funds.
Other financial results, net decreased to a $0.9
million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from a $2.7 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The variation is explained mainly by a lower amount of devaluation of local currencies (including Colombian, Uruguayan, Mexican and Argentinian
pesos) against the U.S. dollar, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and lower gains on transactions with bonds.
Other Income and Expenses, Net
Other income and expenses, net for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 was a gain of $38.0 thousand, as compared with a other income and expenses, net of $16.0 thousand for the three
months ended March 31, 2020.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense amounted to $7.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.1 million from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The increase in income tax expense was driven by a significant increase in profit before taxes. Our effective tax rate (calculated as
income tax gain or expense divided by profit before income tax) decreased to 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 32%
for the three months ended March 31, 2020, because of the lower amount of devaluation of Latin American currencies in the three months
ended March 31, 2021.
Net Income for the Period
As a result of the foregoing, net income was $21.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows
from operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we derived 86.7% of our revenues from clients in North America
and Latin America pursuant to contracts that were entered into by our subsidiaries located in the United States, Argentina, Chile, Mexico,
Peru, Brazil and Colombia.
Our primary cash needs are for capital expenditures
(consisting of additions to property and equipment and to intangible assets) and working capital. Additionally, we also require cash to
fund acquisitions of businesses.
Our primary working capital requirements are to
finance our payroll-related liabilities during the period from delivery of our services through invoicing and collection of trade receivables
from clients.
We incur capital expenditures to open new delivery
centers, for improvements to existing delivery centers, for infrastructure-related investments and to acquire software licenses.
We will continue to invest in our subsidiaries.
In the event of any repatriation of funds or declaration of dividends from our subsidiaries, there will be a tax effect because dividends
from certain foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxes. For additional information, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulatory Overview—Argentine Taxation—Tax on Dividends” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulatory Overview—Argentine Taxation—Income Tax” in our 2020 Form 20-F.
The following table sets forth our historical
capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Total intangible assets acquisition | 8,608 | 3,641 | ||||||
Additions related to business combinations | 1,694 | 267 |
Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
we invested $4.5 million in capital expenditures primarily on the expansion of our delivery centers in Tandil and Buenos Aires in Argentina,
and Guadalajara and Mexico City in Mexico, as well as on computer equipment for our delivery centers in Argentina and Chile. Additionally,
we invested $8.1 million in internal developments and acquired licenses, and $0.5 million in cryptocurrencies. Capital expenditures vary
depending on the timing of new delivery center openings and improvements of existing delivery centers and, in respect of the acquisition
of hardware and software, on the specific requirements.
Acquisitions
On February 28, 2021, we entered into an
equity purchase agreement with the equity holders of Cloudshiftgroup Limited, a British company (“Cloudshift”), for the purchase
of all of the outstanding equity interests in Cloudshift. The transaction was simultaneously signed and closed on the same date. Cloudshift
is a Salesforce platinum partner headquartered in the United Kingdom which provides Salesforce advisory and implementation services in
the United Kingdom. The aggregate purchase price payable under the equity purchase agreement amounted to £36.2 million.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash
equivalents and current investments of $195.6 million.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities consists
primarily of profit before taxes adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense, and the effect of working
capital changes.
Net cash used in operating activities was $14.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2020. The $7.6 million increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a $24.5
million increase in working capital, mainly due to an increase in trade receivables related to the expansion of our engagements and the
consolidation of acquired companies, partially offset by the increase of payroll liabilities related to bonuses accrued in 2021 and the
portion of the bonuses accrued in 2020 that has not been paid (as compared to the payment of 2019 bonuses in March 2020). The increase
in net cash used in operating activities also reflected a $21.0 million increase in profit before income tax expense adjusted for non-cash-items,
as well as a $4.1 million increase in income tax payments, net of reimbursements.
Investing Activities
Net cash of $84.6 million was used in investing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $4.6 million of net cash provided by investing activities during
the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we invested $27.3 million and
received proceeds of $20.4 million, respectively, in mutual funds and sovereign bonds, net. We invested $13.1 million and $10.5 million
in fixed and intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also invested $38.6 million
in payments related to business acquisitions and $3.5 million in acquisition of equity instruments and convertible notes, during the t
