Investment case: A white-label, full commerce solution


We are initiating coverage on Infracommerce, a Latin American provider of complete
e-commerce solutions to mid/large clients, with a Buy rating and a DCF-derived, fully-
diluted target price of R$25, offering upside potential of 55%.

Infracommerce manages retailers’ entire e-commerce operations, including e-


commerce platforms, integration with marketplaces, payment solutions, fulfillment and
even customer care. Some of its solutions are proprietary and some are third-party
ones managed by the company.

Its B2C client base includes household brands (with annual online sales of +R$2mn)
keen to sell directly to their clients, providing them with superior customer service
experiences. Its clientele (totaling 190 clients) includes Nike, Cartier, Rayban, Armani,
Volvo, Nespresso, and Ambev. For these brands, outsourcing e-commerce operations
makes sense economically (more scale = much lower costs) and strategically, as
Infracommerce provides a top-notch service. In 2020, its B2C GMV exceeded R$1bn.

Infracommerce also operates B2B marketplaces, using a proprietary B2B e-commerce


platform, for big industries like Unilever, Johnson&Johnson, and Mondelez. It is a
pioneer in offering B2B e-commerce solutions in Brazil and operates +10 marketplaces
(single-seller and multi-seller), with +150 sellers and total GMV of ~R$3.5bn in 2020.
Infracommerce basically provides the e-commerce platform to its B2B clients, but the
goal is to add services like fulfillment and digital payments.

Huge market set for fast growth

In 2020, e-commerce sales were R$107bn in Brazil, or 8% of total retail sales. Our
retail/e-commerce team models e-commerce transactions to grow to R$377bn in 2025.

Infracommerce’s R$1.1bn GMV in 2020 was only 1% of total e-commerce transactions


in Brazil. Even if its market share grows to ‘only’ 1.3% in 2025, its GMV would shoot
up 359% to R$5bn by 2025.

The growth opportunity in B2B is even bigger. Only 1.5% of Brazil’s R$2trn B2B
transactions are done online. Infracommerce is a major player in this segment, with
estimated GMV of ~R$3.5bn in 2020. If Brazil’s online B2B market grows to 10% of
total B2B transactions, in line with more developed markets like the US, Infracommerce
could see a surge in B2B-related revenues.

Naturally, as the market grows it attracts new players. We thus forecast that
Infracommerce’s market share (which we estimated at 12% in 2020) will decline to 7%
by 2025. But even under these assumptions, its B2B GMV could grow to R$15.2bn in
2025, 331% more than in 2020.

We also expect take-rates, especially in B2B, to go up over time as the company offers
its B2B clients additional services such as logistics/fulfillment and electronic payment
options.

Additional opportunities to grow via M&A

Infracommerce can also grow via acquisitions, especially after it raised ~R$870mn at
its IPO. As we mentioned before, some of the solutions the company manages for its
clients belong to third-party providers. There is an opportunity for Infracommerce to
buy some of them, enhancing its ecosystem and gaining access to new technologies.

We also expect the company to keep looking for opportunities to enhance and expand
the reach of its logistics operations, similar to what it did by acquiring Pier 8 at the end
of 2020, which brought in 120 clients and 3 distribution centers.

As the company expands its solutions to other Latin American countries, it would be
reasonable to expect part of the expansion to come via M&A.

Unique logistics grid

Its solutions include a proprietary logistics operation that guarantees its clients fast,
reliable deliveries at competitive costs. Setting up logistics operations is expensive. So
unless the retailer is big enough to cover the costs, relying on a third-party provider
makes a lot of sense.

Infracommerce operates 10 distribution centers in Brazil (most brands, even the


biggest ones, have 1 or 2) and is rapidly opening dark stores in the main cities to make
same day/overnight deliveries in the main regions.

Attractive valuations

Infracommerce is trading at 10.1x 2021E EV/Sales and 7.1x 2022E, a massive


discount to Locaweb (15x 2021E EV/Sales) and a group of global SaaS providers
(median of 26x 2021E). Its valuation is especially attractive when we consider the huge
growth opportunities that lie ahead.

In the table below, we show a group of 26 technology companies in which the market
forecasts revenue growth of above 20% per year over the next three years for all of
them.

When we look at EV/sales multiples adjusted for expected growth, Infracommerce’s


multiples become even more compelling. We see Infracommerce trading at an
EV/sales/growth of 0.22x, vs. a market average of 0.85x and Locaweb’s 0.51x.

In the dispersion chart below, it is even easier to visualize how Infracommerce’s


multiples stack up nicely against high-growth tech companies.

Our fully diluted DCF-derived target price of R$25 (WACC of 9.5% and perpetuity
growth of 5% in nominal BRL), indicates an upside potential of 55%.

Main financials

We model net revenue growth of 40% per year on average for the next 5 years (2021-
2025). The company grew 70.5% y/y in 2020 and 38% y/y in 2019.

We expect EBITDA margin to expand from 8.5% in 2020 (low level due to heavy
investments to foster growth) to 22.5% in 2025. Margin expansion is mainly driven by
operating leverage/scale gains.

Revenue growth combined with margin expansion translate into EBITDA growth of
89% per year on average for the 2021-2025 period.

Revenue expansion in our model comes from a combination of GMV growth (which we
model at an annual average of 35% for 2021-2025) and higher take rates (which we
model will increase from the current 5.1% to 6.2% as Infracommerce is able to cross-
sell logistics and fintech solutions to its B2B client base).

Infracommerce’s short-term (next 2 years) growth doesn’t depend on onboarding new


clients. We estimate two thirds of the growth will come from growth among its current
client base (figure 14 in churn section illustrates this perfectly). For B2B clients, this
effect should be even more relevant, as it takes around 2 years for a B2B operation to
ramp up to its full potential (the platforms start to operate with 3-5 distributors, with
more and more being added each month, so it’s a process that takes time).

Main risk: Almost a third of sales comes from just two clients

Infracommerce’s top two clients were 28% of sales in 1Q21. This degree of what we
call ‘client concentration’ is undoubtedly high, but it is coming down. In 1Q20,
Infracommerce’s top two clients were 42% of sales and in the whole year of 2020 they
were 34%.

While we have no way of knowing who Infracommerce’s two largest clients are, we
have reason to believe Nike is one of them. In 2020, Nike’s operations in Brazil were
acquired by Centauro, which took the strategic decision to develop and manage its e-
commerce operations in-house. By the end of 2021, when the contract between Nike
and Infracommerce expires, Centauro may opt to manage Nike’s e-commerce
operations internally. Infracommerce is negotiating with Centauro the possibility of
becoming a solutions provider to the latter (Centauro could, for instance, hire
Infracommerce’s logistics solutions).

Clients opting to internalize e-commerce as it becomes more relevant to their business


is also a risk. We estimate that, on average, e-commerce represents ~10% of
Infracommerce’s clients’ revenues. If 4-5 years from now e-commerce becomes more
representative (40-50% of their revenues), it may pressure the company’s pricing (it is
one thing to pay a 15% take rate on a service that represents a bit of your revenues,
but it is a whole different story as the proportion of revenues increases, so clients could
opt to bring things in-house).

Fully diluted stock option plan

Infracommerce has a stock option plan that establishes the issuance of up to


37,576,261 options (this represents 16% of the company’s current share count). The
timeframe of its SoP is relatively short, with most of the options becoming vested in the
short term. 23% of the options are already vested, while another 35% of the options
will be vested within 9 months (March 2022), followed an additional 22% in March 2023.

The exercise price is much lower than the current share price (varying from R$0.43 to
R$1.44), so dilution is practically guaranteed, reason why we have decided to calculate
our target price for the company on a fully diluted basis.

Why Infracommerce adds value to brands


Infracommerce provides a full suite of digital solutions that enable brands to deliver
exceptional customer experience in their e-commerce operations. It operates in a
market that we call “full commerce”, offering integrated services that cover e-
commerce, logistics, payments, marketing, customer care, big data, etc. (everything a
company needs to run a cutting-edge e-commerce operation).

The company’s white-label full commerce ecosystem serves around 190 clients and
processed R$4.6bn in GMV in 2020. On the back of its massive scale, clients can: i)
reduce costs in their e-commerce operations; ii) improve service levels (in e-
commerce, scale is a must to provide a decent customer experience); and iii) benefit
from the resulting increase in sales.
Infracommerce

To build an e-commerce operation from scratch, a big company (keep in mind that the
company’s clients have average GMV of R$5.5mn per month) has to hire more than
20 vendors. It will need an e-commerce platform like VTEX, Locaweb’s Tray or Shopify.
Then it will need one or more payment processors (Stone, Mercadopago, Cielo, etc.),
along with logistics providers (Sequoia, Correios, Loggi, etc.), a marketplace integrator,
an anti-fraud solution, a SEO tool, and the list goes on.

Figure 3: It is not so simple to build an e-commerce operation

So, the DIY approach is complex and requires dozens of vendors to manage all of the
tiny details involved in a big e-commerce operation.

By hiring Infracommerce, brands remove the complexity of having to deal with a slew
of service providers, while also benefiting from the scale gains Infracommerce provides
via its vast client list.

Scale allows companies to generate insights from the huge swaths of collected data,
deliver impressive customer support (24/7 support, chat bots, etc.), offer competitive
pricing and provide state-of-the-art delivery/shipment.

Infracommerce has built a logistics grid that is on par with even the best marketplaces.
The company has 10 distribution centers spread across Brazil, covering more than half
(55%) of the population in as little as 2 days.

In the chart below, we show that big companies that opt for in-house e-commerce
usually do not generate the scale to build comparably comprehensive logistics
infrastructure, and even some marketplaces are lagging. And naturally, a great
customer experience/delivery time reflects directly on customers’ perception of a
brand. Infracommerce’s clients have better Reclame Aqui (consumer complaint) scores
than those that have taken an “in-house” approach.

As we mentioned above, scale can also help reduce costs. In the figure below, we
show how an e-commerce operation can save money at different levels of GMV. The
credit card processing costs of a R$10bn/year e-commerce operation are 30% lower
than a R$10mn/year operation. Shipping costs can be 15% lower and BI costs 60%.

Competition from marketplaces

When explaining Infracommerce’s value proposition, investors wonder if marketplaces


represent a threat. After all, they have much greater scale than Infracommerce itself.

While marketplaces have the scale to provide a great service, they do not offer the
customer experience that big brands need. Infracommerce’s clients are at the top of
the pyramid (their average monthly GMV is R$5mn), have strong brands and want a
direct sales channel to their customers.

When a brand sells in a marketplace, it does not have close contact with the buyer, it
does not own the consumer data, and maybe most importantly, its interests will usually
be secondary to those of the client.

Example: If someone searches for a specific product in a brand’s marketplace store


and doesn’t buy the product, the next day the marketplace will target them with a bunch
of ads for the product, potentially leading them to other sellers on the platform.

This doesn’t mean Infracommerce’s clients aren’t able to sell in marketplaces. It’s quite
the opposite. Marketplaces are an important channel for anyone wanting to sell online
and Infracommerce provides all the necessary integration tools for clients to do so.

Addressable market is huge and underpenetrated


Infracommerce serves clients that sell directly to the final consumer (B2C) as well as
those that sell to other businesses (B2B).

B2C: E-commerce’s secular growth to drive revenues up

The opportunity in the B2C market is more straightforward for investors to understand
because it is a niche that the market already knows (all listed e-commerce companies
in Brazil operate in B2C – Meli, Magalu, Locaweb, B2W, etc.).

We estimate that the Brazilian e-commerce market had total GMV of close to R$100bn
in 2020 (8% of overall retail sales). Infracommerce’s B2C clients had R$1.1bn in GMV
last year (i.e., Infracommerce has a market share of 1% in B2C).

E-commerce in Brazil is growing fast. Higher e-commerce penetration in the country is


a clear growth driver for Infracommerce in the B2C market. In the US, e-commerce
penetration is almost double that of Brazil, and in China it is more than triple
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 12

B2B: An untapped market

The B2B segment is probably 10 years behind B2C in terms of digitalization. E-


commerce penetration is super low, so the opportunity seems huge.

Infracommerce had B2B GMV of R$3.5bn in 2020, while we estimate the B2B e-
commerce market to be around R$30bn (e-commerce penetration of only 1.5%).
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 13

Figure 7: Infracommerce’s share of Brazilian B2B GMV

Source: Company reports

We believe that the B2B market will go through the same digitalization process that we
saw in the B2C segment, and the fact that Infracommerce is already positioned to surf
this wave from the onset really excites us.

Delving deeper into B2B

Competition in the B2B niche is much softer. It is not easy to adapt a B2C solution
(indeed there are many great platforms) to the B2B world.

In the B2C segment, prices of products are the same for every user that accesses the
website (with the exception of shipping, of course). In a B2B platform, the price needs
to be dynamic depending on a variety of factors: i) the buyer’s segment, ii) their location
(taxes vary depending on state), iii) their order size (merchants that buy R$50k/month
and R$500k/month from the platform will naturally pay different unit prices).
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 14

So, B2B demands customization that a standard B2C platform doesn’t offer.
Infracommerce has a cutting-edge solution for the B2B niche and runs 12 platforms.

To better illustrate the B2B market, below we show Infracommerce’s main B2B
platforms as well as the largest B2B e-commerce operations in Brazil that aren’t
handled by Infracommerce.

Figure 8: Brazil’s largest B2B e-commerce operations

Source: Company reports

Ambev has the largest B2B operation in the country. The beverage manufacturer
created “Parceiro Ambev” to digitalize its relationship with small merchants.
Restaurants, pubs, grocery stores, markets, etc. can now buy products directly from
Ambev. We estimate Ambev’s platform has annual GMV of R$12-15bn.

The company hired Webjump to develop the project using Magento’s e-commerce
platform. But when a client hires Infracommerce to build a B2B e-commerce platform,
Infracommerce is the agency (developing the design, necessary integrations with third-
party solutions, etc.) and the platform (Infracommerce developed its own B2B
ecommerce platform with proprietary tech).

Compra Agora, a B2B e-commerce platform that Infracommerce built for Unilever, is
Infracomerce’s largest B2B operation. An interesting aspect about B2B platforms is
that they can be multi-seller (like a marketplace, with more than one brand selling
products on the platform). With Compra Agora, buyers can see Unilever, Mondelez and
Danone products, for instance.

This is great for Infracommerce. The more sellers on the platform, the greater the
potential for GMV, and thus the higher Infracommerce’s revenues. In addition, this is a
“Winner Take Most” segment, so five years from now when B2B e-commerce gains
higher penetration, there will only be a handful of winners in each segment. Take a
grocery store. The assortment of any grocery store is really broad, so it wouldn’t be
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 15

viable for a merchant to access dozens of B2B platforms to make all the purchases
necessary to keep its shelves stocked.

We think there will only be a few platforms that will be winners in this game (similar to
what we see in the marketplace segment). And as Infracommerce is an early mover in
the B2B niche, it will certainly have some of the winning platforms (Compra Agora and
Vila Nova are two examples of winning e-commerce platforms in food retail).

Business Model
Infracommerce divides its operations into three business units:

i) Omnichannel Platform: Covers the e-commerce platform, marketing,


CRM, business intelligence, OMS, etc.

ii) Fulfillment: Covers the logistics operation.

iii) Fintech: Currently a payment and payment reconciliation solution.


Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 16

Infracommerce had R$4.6bn in GMV in 2020. R$1.1bn was handled by its logistics
vertical and R$600mn was processed by its payments division.

It is no coincidence that fulfillment GMV is the same as B2C GMV (R$1.1bn). All of
Infracommerce’s B2C clients use its logistics solution. This is a clear sign that its clients
like the service, and is probably a big reason why they choose Infracommerce (logistics
is one of the most complex and delicate aspects of an e-commerce operation).

But B2B relationships in Brazil are usually intermediated by distributors, which is why
B2B clients don’t use Infracommerce for delivery. They already have long-term
relationships with plenty of distributors.

That said, Infracommerce thinks that by 2025 it can operate logistics for up to 15% of
its B2B GMV. This year, the company started to operate logistics for Unilever in two
regions (Brasilia and São Paulo) via a model it calls “Broker as a Service”. It all started
because Unilever’s distributor in Brasília shut down. The companies created the new
model together to solve the problem.

It is quite simple: Unilever gives its products to Infracommerce’s distribution center on


consignment (so Infracommerce doesn’t run any risk on the inventory side) and
Infracommerce delivers the products to Unilever’s clients. For Unilever, this model
means an increase in working capital (since a distributor pays upfront for the products),
but the payoff is a higher selling price, as it is Unilever selling directly to its clients,
without any middleman.
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 17

Infracommerce’s commercial model is designed to align the company with the interests
of its clients. Almost all revenue comes from take rates charged on top of GMV. This
means that Infracommerce grows along with its clients.

In the figure below, we show pricing examples for each service. Logistics is the most
expensive product (6-8% take rate), followed by the omnichannel platform (3-5%) and
the fintech unit (1.5-3%).

Source: Company reports

While the B2B segment accounts for 76% of Infracommerce’s total GMV, we estimate
it only represents 28% of net revenues. This is because take rates are much lower in
the B2B vertical, as volumes are significantly higher and Infracommerce’s scope is
much more limited (logistics penetration is almost zero and payments is low too).

We estimate that Infracommerce charges take rates of around 2% in the B2B segment
and around 15% in the B2C segment. In the figure below, we show how the company’s
GMV and revenue are divided up among the B2C and B2B segments.

Client portfolio

Infracommerce has 70 clients using its full commerce solution (it onboarded another
120 clients after the recent acquisition of Pier 8, but they are only logistics clients).

The company has clients spread across a wide variety of segments. In apparel, we
highlight Nike, Asics, Mizuno, Armani. In food & beverage, we highlight Ambev
(Infracommerce runs its “Emporio da Cerveja” operation), Nespresso, Kopenhagen
and Mondelez (B2B clients). And in the fast-moving consumer goods segment, we
highlight Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Coty and Danone (B2B clients).

Churn dynamics

Infracommerce has a historical churn rate of 7% in the B2C segment. It has not
registered any client churn in the B2B vertical (the lock-in of the clients is much higher,
as they have dozens of distributors integrated into the platform and thousands of clients
buying products, so it is not so simple to cut out Infracommerce in a B2B operation).

Getting back to B2C, the main reason for the 7% annual churn is clients that decide to
bring their e-commerce operations “in house”. Infracommerce has never lost a client to
a competitor. But knowing that its main threat is internalization, the company intends
to modularize its service offering (something that it didn’t do before because it needed
to gain enough scale as a full commerce provider).

By modularizing its services, when a client decides to internalize e-commerce for any
reason, it can reduce its scope of services to increase the chance of keeping them as
a client (the client can internalize the platform, marketing and call center operations,
but stay with Infracommerce for logistics). By doing this, Infracommerce maximizes
client LTV/CAC, as the costs to acquire the client were already incurred and LTV
doesn’t go all the way to zero.

Delving deeper into fintech and logistics operations


Fintech

Infracommerce launched its strategic fintech vertical in 2019.

The company’s fintech solutions can be divided into three segments: payment solutions
(main acquiring partner is Stone, but it also uses Cielo and Adyen), credit as a service
and management & back office (basically a payment reconciliation tool).

Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 21

The company processed R$600mn in TPV in 2020. Its payment solutions target B2B
and B2C clients, but today most of the TPV comes from B2C clients.

The B2B segment is also 10 years behind B2C when it comes to means of payment.
In the B2C segment, around 70% of purchases are made via credit/debit cards (the
other 30% are basically bank slips, but PIX is gaining ground). In the B2B segment,
almost all transactions are via bank slips. So, there is a big opportunity to digitalize
payments and explore credit in the B2B segment.

Today, when a client makes a purchase from a distributor, the distributor finances this
client (usually the client can pay the bank slip in 20-30 days). This is inefficient, as a
distributor is not specialized in credit, meaning it could make poor credit limit decisions,
translating into a sales bottleneck.

Infracommerce is collecting the data of 300k registered businesses that buy products
on its B2B platforms every day. The company can leverage this data to make credit
limit decisions for each client. This is good for everyone involved. The distributor
receives payment upfront and boosts its sales, as its clients will have higher credit
limits, and Infracommerce receives a fee for originating the credit.

This is a new initiative called “Credit as a Service”. It is something similar to what Totvs
does with Supplier. Infracommerce could partner up with a financial institution or even
create a FIDC to explore this opportunity itself.

It currently has a beta running with one client. It was able to boost credit limits by 30%,
cut down credit analysis to just a few hours (while distributors take 1 month) and
simplify the entire process.

A top notch logistics operations

Infracommerce’s logistics operations shipped 51mn items in 2020. With 10 distribution


centers distributed across 85k m², the company won the ABCOMM (Brazilian E-
commerce Association) award for “Best Service in E-commerce” in 2020.

The fulfillment operation has outstanding metrics, with 99% of orders delivered on time
(vs. 95% market average). Infracommerce covers 55% of the population within 2 days.

IPO to foster growth


Infracommerce’s IPO was priced in April at R$16, valuing the company at ~R$3.8bn.
The implied valuation was 8x EV/sales 2021E (or 9.6x on a fully diluted basis).

The offer was 100% primary and consisted of 54mn shares, injecting R$870mn into
the company’s balance sheet. The proceeds will be deployed as follows:

i) Acquisitions: 64%.

ii) Investments in capex, R&D and commercial expenses to accelerate


organic growth: 30%.

iii) Payment of debt: 6%.

M&As could enhance Infracommerce’s ecosystem

We believe that Infracommerce will focus its M&A efforts on four verticals:

i) Strengthen tech and AI capabilities. The goal of these potential


acquisitions is to enhance its ecosystem by bringing in new technologies.
AI, big data and POS solutions are some examples of technologies that
the company would like to bring in-house.

ii) Expand logistics infrastructure. Infracommerce has M&A targets that will
strengthen its logistics grid even more, enabling it to continuously
improve customer experience. An example of an acquisition in this
vertical is Pier 8. Last December, Infracommerce acquired Pier 8, a
company founded in 2012 that offers fulfillment and logistics solutions to
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 24

medium-sized businesses in segments such as apparel, food and


personal care. Pier 8 brought 3 new distribution centers and 120 clients
to Infracommerce, which paid R$71mn for 100% of the company. Below
we provide an example of some of Pier 8’s clients.

Figure 18: Pier 8 brought 120 medium-sized clients to Infracommerce

Source: Compra Agora website

iii) Consolidate the full commerce segment. Infracommerce has some


competitors in full commerce. As we flagged several times in the report,
the more scale you have, the greater the customer experience you will
be able to provide and the stronger your cost efficiency. So, it makes
perfect sense to buy competitors to strengthen the operation.
Infracommerce is the largest full commerce player in Brazil, followed by
Synapcom (we estimate it is half Infracommerce’s size in revenue), Tatix
(we think it is about 1/4 of Infracommerce’s size) and Selia.

iv) Strengthen its LatAm footprint. Some of Infracommerce’s clients wish that
it could solve “their problem” across all of LatAm, not just Brazil. In 2017,
the company acquired 20% of New Retail, a full commerce player that
has operations in Argentina (under the brand Brandlive) and Colombia
(Win Brandlike E-commerce). In 2018, Infracommerce increased its
stake in New Retail to 21.44%, before upping it again five months ago to
61% and acquiring control of the operation. Infracommerce also started
to operate in Mexico in 2015, but organically.

Shareholder structure, management and Board of Directors


Infracommerce has a disperse shareholder base. There are five big groups with more
than 5% of the company.

Arrow + Archery, two different funds owned by the same family, have 8.8% of
Infracommerce. Ebricks + Igah (two funds that merged) have 14.1% of Infracommerce
Infracommerce
14 June 2021 page 25

and are the largest shareholder. Engadin, a fund owned by Iguatemi and the Jereissati
family, has 12.2% of the company. Iguatemi holds 65% of Engandin (i.e., Iguatemi has
8% of Infracommerce).

Transcosmos, a Japanese tech company with a venture capital arm, holds 9.9%.
Flybridge, a seed stage venture capital firm, also holds 11.6% of Infracommerce. And
finally, Kai Schoppen, the founder and CEO of Infracommerce, has 4.3%.

Management and Board of Directors

Senior management has vast experience in the business. Kai Schoppen (CEO and
founder) has more than a decade of experience in e-commerce. Before starting
Infracommerce, he was CEO of Brandsclub. Last year, Kai was elected digital
entrepreneur of the year by ABCOMM (Brazilian E-commerce Association).

Luiz Pavão (VP B2C) is also a co-founder of the company and is the former logistics
and e-commerce director of Daslu.

Below we show Infracommerce’s management team and their previous experience.
