Segment information

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

On December 31, 2020, the Company had a single segment StoneCo. In 2021, due to the acquisition of Linx, and the complexity of this business, the Company has two operating and reportable segments: StoneCo and Linx.

After Linx acquisition, the CODM review and monitor operations and evaluates performance considering two separate views: StoneCo (ex-Linx) and Linx. Both reportable segments represent strategic business units monitored separately.

The Group uses adjusted net income (loss) as the measure reported to the CODM about the performance of each segment.

The income statement and balance sheet position, for the period ended December 31, 2021, for these two operating segments are presented below.
