Discussion of Financial Results

Total Gross Revenue¹

Gross revenue reached R$5.1 billion in 2Q26, reflecting an increase of 8% year-over-year and 3% higher quarter-over-quarter.

The year-over-year growth was driven by equities, funds platform, retail new verticals, and other retail, with new ventures and floating expanding at a rapid pace. The Wholesale bank division also delivered year-over-year growth.

Retail Revenue

Retail revenue reached R$3,881 million in 2Q26, representing a 3% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 8% increase year-over-year.

Both equities and funds platform — two of our most important revenue lines — grew at double digit pace when compared to the same period of last year. However, this was partially offset by the MtM impact in fixed income, which brought overall retail revenue growth to 8%. Retail Revenue performance also benefited from strong contributions from banking, float and new verticals, which are reported in the Other Retail line and gained representativeness during the quarter.

Take Rate

Annualized Retail Take Rate was 1.20% in 2Q26, 2bps higher QoQ and 5bps lower YoY.

Wholesale Banking

Since last quarter we have included our Institutional business in the Wholesale segment. Taken together, Corporate, Issuer Services and Institutional grew 32% year-over-year, with revenues totaling R$1,175 million in 2Q26.

The YoY performance was driven by a robust Corporate activity, with revenues reaching R$606 million, a 117% increase YoY. We continue to serve our clients with solutions in credit, derivatives, foreign exchange, and trading, sustaining the robust revenue growth of this segment.

Other Revenue

Accompanying the final phase of our restructuring, the Other revenue line has become less relevant over the years and ceased to exist last quarter, being incorporated in the net interest margin across our business lines.

Costs of Goods Sold and Gross Margin

Gross Margin was 68.6% in 2Q26 versus 67.2% in 1Q26 and 68.7% in 2Q25.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses totaled R$1.6 billion in 2Q26, 2% higher QoQ, and 5% higher YoY.

Our last twelve months (LTM) compensation ratio⁴ in 2Q26 was 23.2%. Also, our LTM efficiency ratio⁵ reached 34.3% in 2Q26.

Earnings Before Taxes

EBT was R$1,565 million in 2Q26, growing 10% QoQ and up 15% YoY. The EBT margin was 32.0%, 209 bps up quarter-over-quarter and 172 bps up YoY.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS¹

In 2Q26, Adjusted Net Income reached R$1.4 billion, up 5% both quarter over quarter and year over year. Adjusted Basic EPS was R$2.71, 7% higher QoQ and 8% up YoY. Adjusted Diluted EPS was R$2.67 for the quarter, 7% up QoQ and 9% higher YoY.

Adjusted ROTE^1,6 and Adjusted ROAE^1,7

In 2Q26 our Adjusted Return on Equity (ROAE) reached 22.5%, while return on tangible equity (ROTE) was 27.2%. Both metrics were up this quarter as we posted a slightly lower BIS ratio.

Capital Management⁸

In 2Q26 our BIS Ratio was 20.3%, 39 bps lower QoQ and 15 bps higher YoY, while our total RWA was R$126.6 billion, with a 4% increase QoQ and 26% increase YoY. Our CET1 ratio remains at a comfortable level of 17.1%. During the first half of the year, we continued executing share repurchases, totaling approximately R$1 billion. With that, we closed the previous buyback program, but we still have another open program of R$1 billion, which we continue to execute strategically. We are comfortable bringing our BIS ratio to our target range of 16% to 19% toward the end of the year through capital distributions, while still maintaining a comfortable capital buffer.

Market data and industry information used throughout this release are based on management’s knowledge of the industry and the good faith estimates of management. The Company also relied, to the extent available, upon management’s review of industry surveys and publications and other publicly available information prepared by a number of third-party sources. All of the market data and industry information used in this release involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although the Company believes that these sources are reliable, there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of this information, and the Company has not independently verified this information.

The contents hereof should not be construed as investment, legal, tax or other advice and you should consult your own advisers as to legal, business, tax and other related matters concerning an investment in the Company. The Company is not acting on your behalf and does not regard you as a customer or a client. It will not be responsible to you for providing protections afforded to clients or for advising you on the relevant transaction.

This release includes Adjustments to Reported Net Income, which is non-GAAP financial information. We believe that such information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of the Company’s operations. We also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s business that, when viewed with our International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) results, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. Further, investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance and such measures may highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. We also believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of public companies in the Company’s industry, many of which present these measures when reporting their results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the IFRS financial statements. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results. As other companies may determine or calculate this non-GAAP financial information differently, the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes is limited. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP measure is included in this release.

For purposes of this release:

“Active Clients” means the total number of retail clients served through our XP Investimentos, Rico, Clear, XP Investments and XP Private (Europe) brands, with Client Assets above R$100.00 or that have transacted at least once in the last thirty days. For purposes of calculating this metric, if a client holds an account in more than one of the aforementioned entities, such client will be counted as one “active client” for each such account. For example, if a client holds an account in each of XP Investimentos and Rico, such client will count as two “active clients” for purposes of this metric.

“Client Assets” means the market value of all client assets invested through XP’s platform and that is related to reported Retail Revenue, including equities, fixed income securities, mutual funds (including those managed by XP Gestão de Recursos Ltda., XP Advisory Gestão de Recursos Ltda. and XP Vista Asset Management Ltda., as well as by third-party asset managers), pension funds (including those from XP Vida e Previdência S.A., as well as by third-party insurance companies), exchange traded funds, COEs (Structured Notes), REITs, and uninvested cash balances (Float Balances), among others. Although Client Assets includes custody from Corporate Clients that generate Retail Revenue, it does not include custody from institutional clients (asset managers, pension funds and insurance companies).

Rounding

We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this release. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.
