XP Inc. Reports 2Q21 FinancialResults

São Paulo, Brazil, August 3, 2021 – XP Inc. (NASDAQ: XP) (“XP” or the “Company”), a leading tech-enabled platform and a trusted pioneer in providing low-fee financial products and services in Brazil, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

To our shareholders

It is a great honor and responsibility to be writing my first letter to shareholders as the CEO of XP Inc. Being Guilherme's successor after he occupied the role for twenty years is an honor, and on behalf of everyone at XP I would like to thank him for inspiring us and to have believed in a dream that became the company we are all proud to be part of today. Guilherme will remain as involved in the new role as he has always been in the company, but focused on strategic agendas, People and Culture and long-term planning.

Looking into the future, my mission is to continue the process of disruption we have been leading in the Brazilian financial industry. One of the main pillars that will allow us to continue to grow our main performance metrics and enter new markets is the digital transformation underway at the company, which I have been following closely since its inception.

The focus and robustness in technology and data allow us to be an increasingly agile company with strong adaptability, launching high-quality products, services and functionalities in a short period. In the current competitive scenario, which is undoubtedly more challenging than in the past, we believe that these advantages will be decisive in our journey to delight our customers.

In this context, I would like to share some of the main initiatives maturing within the company, which we believe have great potential to improve the experience of existing clients, and increase our addressable market in terms of new customers and revenue in the coming years. This objective can be achieved organically and complemented by inorganic movements as well, as recent acquisitions show.

Banking

The Banking front, in which we have successfully evolved according to recent KPIs, and which currently includes Credit and Credit Card, is one of the great levers on the path to address the entire financial journey of our clients. The following short-term step is the launch of our Digital Account in 2021, and we will continue with a series of additional features in 2022.

We believe that with our 100% digital and low-cost value proposition, we will strengthen the bond with our customers, especially important at a time when innovations such as PIX and Open Banking bring additional dynamism to the sector and benefits to consumers.

Services to Companies –from SMB to Corporate

In the companies’ segment, in which we already have tens of thousands of customers representing custody of more than R$50 billion, we have made substantial investments to expand the existing range of products, optimize the experience for this profile and increasingly improve our commercial structure. By combining Credit, Cash Management, Insurance and Investment Solutions, we will be increasingly competitive, exploiting our distribution capacity to transform the Corporate market as we’ve done for Individuals.

Insurance and Private Pension

Finally, it is worth mentioning the importance of Insurance and Private Pension products have achieved in recent years and the enormous potential we see for the future. In Insurance, we already act as relevant Life distributors through B2B and B2C channels and we intend to expand our presence in the short term to other segments with synergy and cross-sell opportunities.

In Private Pension, despite the expressive growth and being at the top of the industry on net inflows, we still have a minimal fraction of the R$1 trillion total addressable market and we continue to add new features and managers to our platform, as well as developing specific commercial capabilities to the product in our network.

We estimate that the Brazilian financial sector should reach a total revenue of around R$800 billion in 2021, of which XP represents just over 1% based on the last twelve months. Together with a series of other possible avenues for growth, the new initiatives mentioned will allow us to address over the next three years R$350 billion from this pool, compared to the current estimated R$110 billion.

We do not doubt that our culture, customer focus and unique and constantly evolving business model will enable us to achieve great milestones in the coming years. Over the next few months we will bring more visibility into the plans mentioned above.

Finally, I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their trust and reinforce our commitment to creating sustainable value in the long term, connecting the dots, acting ethically and with the customer at the center of decisions. The growth opportunities are plenty and you can be sure that we are focused on finding the paths to explore them in the best possible way, we are confident that we are only at the beginning of our history.

Thiago Maffra, CEO

Operational Performance

Credit Portfolio^1^ (in R$ bn)

Our Credit portfolio reached R$6.8 billion as of June 30, 2021, a 43% increase quarter-over-quarter. The duration of our credit book was 3.5 years, with a 90-day Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of 0.0%.

¹This portfolio does not include Credit Card related loans and receivables

Credit Card TPV (in R$ bn)

2Q21 was the first full quarter since officially launching our credit card. For the quarter, we generated R$2.1 billion of TPV (Total Payment Value), a growth of 316% quarter-over-quarter, reinforcing the power of XP’s comprehensive platform.

Assets Under Custody (in R$ bn)

Total AUC reached R$817 billion at June 30, up88% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter. Year-over-year growth was driven by R$298 billion of net inflows and R$83 billion of market appreciation. Our growth reinforces the strength and resiliency of our business model, distribution capabilities, product offerings, innovation and culture.

Net Inflows (in R$ bn)

Net Inflows were up 9% quarter-over-quarter, and 159% year-over-year. Flows were strong across all channels and brands, including over R$30 billion concentrated equity inflows at XP Private, awarded by Euromoney as Latin America’s best bank for wealth management 2021.

Active Clients (in 000’s)

Active clients grew 33% and 5% in 2Q21 vs 2Q20 and 1Q21, respectively. Average monthly client additions decreased to 49,000 in 2Q21 from 72,000 in 1Q21, primarily reflecting slower activation at Clear, following lower market trading volumes, specifically futures.

IFA Network Gross Adds

IFA Network gross additions totaled 1,198 in 2Q21, up 165% year-over-year and 31% quarter-over-quarter.

Retail DATs¹ (mn trades)

¹ Daily Average Trades, including Stocks, REITs, Options and Futures

DATs totaled 2.7 million in 2Q21, a decline of 18% on a sequential basis following a decline in B3 traded volume versus a strong 1Q21, when futures volumes reached record highs. Despite the intense volatility and activity during 2Q20, attributable to the Covid-19 outbreak, total DATs were stable on a year-over-year basis.

Net Promoter Score (NPS)

Our NPS, a widely known survey methodology used to measure customer satisfaction, was 76 in June 2021, reflecting our ongoing efforts to provide superior customer service at a lower cost. Maintaining a high NPS score remains a priority for XP since our business model is built around client experience. The NPS calculation as of a given date reflects the average scores in the prior six months.

2Q21 Revenue Breakdown

Total Gross Revenue (in R$ mn)

Total Gross Revenue reached an all-time high, driven revenue diversification and growth in different business channels, increasing 57% from R$2.0 billion in 2Q20 to R$3.2 billion in 2Q21, reinforcing the strength of our business model. The increase was mainly driven by strong growth in (i) the Retail business, which contributed with 84% of the growth year-over-year, (ii) Institutional business, with the best quarter recorded so far – contributing with 19% of the growth quarter-over-quarter – and (iii) Issuer Services, which contributed with 16% of the growth year-over-year. Regarding products, Fixed Income activity was intense in both Retail and Institutional, benefiting from the recent interest rates increase in Brazil.

Retail

Retail Revenue (in R$ mn)

2Q20 vs 2Q21

Retail revenue grew 66% from R$1.5 billion in 2Q20 to R$2.5 billion in 2Q21. Revenue generation was resilient despite stable volumes in DATs, which reinforces the importance of our diversified and comprehensive platform, with suitable products for different economic cycles and client’s demands. Increases in structured operations distribution, fixed income secondary volumes and primary market activity more than offset the steady trading volume in equities and futures.

In 2Q21, Retail-related revenues represented 82% of consolidated Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income Statement, and were composed of Derivatives with Retail Clients, Fixed Income secondary transactions, and Floating, among others.

LTM Take Rate (LTM Retail Revenue / AverageAUC)

The take rate for the last twelve months ended June 30, 2021 remained stable compared to the comparable period a year ago. Our ability to add new products and services in the platform

such as credit cards and credit - coupled with diversified revenue profile, could keep our take rate stable, despite strong AUC growth during the period, pricing reductions in online brokerage in 3Q20 and modest contributions from performance fees in the 2Q21. The resilience in the take rate reinforces the power of the ecosystem and ongoing product development, positioning XP as the one of the main beneficiaries of the ongoing financial deepening in Brazil.

Note: LTM Take Rate (LTM Retail Revenue / Average AUC). Average AUC = (Sum of AUC from the beginning of period and each quarter-end in a given year, being 5 data points in one year)/5

Institutional

Institutional Revenue (in R$ mn)

2Q20 vs 2Q21

Institutional gross revenue totaled R$375 million in the 2Q21, up 13% from R$333 million in 2Q20. Fixed Income activity was strong - benefiting from recent increases in interest rates in Brazil - driving the channel to record its best quarter so far, despite high equity trading volumes in 2Q20.

In 2Q21, Institutional revenue accounted for 12% of consolidated Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income Statement, and was composed mostly of Fixed Income secondary transactions and Derivatives, among others.

Issuer Services

Issuer Services Revenue (in R$ mn)

2Q20 vs 2Q21

Issuer Services revenue expanded 293% year-over-year from R$65 million in 2Q20, negatively impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak, to R$255 million in 2Q21. This increase was driven by (1) Equity Capital Markets (ECM), with 8 executed deals vs 2 in 2Q20, and (2) our Debt Capital Markets (DCM) division, with participation in 62 deals vs 22 in 2Q20. Going forward, XP will remain committed to further developing Capital Markets in Brazil as one of the company’s main strategies.

In 2021, XP ranked #1 in REITs, CRA (agribusiness certificate of receivable) and CRI (real-state certificate of receivable).

Digital Content and Other

Digital Content Revenue

Gross revenue totaled R$29 million in 2Q21, down 35% from R$46 million in 2Q20. Our digital content plays an important role in educating Brazilians and making them more proficient in financial products and services. It also enhances client’s relationships and attracts new clients that grow our retail platform. 2Q21 trends remained pressured by the absence of in-person events and courses.

Other Revenue

2Q20 vs 2Q21

Other revenue decreased 28% in 2Q21 vs. 2Q20, from R$123 million to R$88 million, mainly driven by lower results from our asset and liability management due to fewer arbitrage opportunities in the period – in connection with a lower sovereign bonds assets volume in our balance sheet.

In 2Q21, other revenue accounted for 6% of consolidated Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income Statement, composed mostly of interest on adjusted gross cash and results related to our asset and liability management.

COGS

COGS (in R$ mn) and Gross Margin

2Q20 vs 2Q21

COGS rose 54% from R$579 million in 2Q20 to R$891 million in 2Q21, following the expansion in overall Retail Revenues. The gross margin expanded 63 bps, from 69.8% to 70.5% mainly due to channel mix shifts, and despite the impact of long-term incentives paid to the IFA network.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A Expense (ex-Share-Based Compensation)(in R$ mn)

2Q20 vs 2Q21

SG&A expenses (excluding share-based compensation) totaled R$900 million in 2Q21, up 41% from R$638 million in 2Q20. Despite growing our headcount by 53% year-over-year, continuously investing in technology and new verticals, and deploying new products, we increased efficiency, reducing expenses as a percentage of net revenue by 340 bps.

Share-Based Compensation (in R$ mn)

Through 2Q21, we have granted approximately half of the current approved program authorizing dilution of up to 5%. Expenses related to the program remained steady compared to 1Q21. We expect to use the approved dilution as originally planned: within five years from the IPO. A portion of Share-Based Compensation is related to IFAs and allocated in COGS.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA¹ (in R$ mn) and Margin

¹ See appendix for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.

2Q20 vs 2Q21

Adjusted EBITDA grew 77%, from R$704 million to R$1,245 million and margins expanded from 36.6% to 41.3%, a result of a scalable business model, with significant cross-sell and operating leverage opportunities. Operating leverage benefits as we increase penetration of sophisticated financial products in our client base, which still is currently low. The main drivers in the Adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion were: (1) top-line expansion, mainly coming from Retail; (2) lower COGS as a percentage of Net Revenues, and consequently higher gross margins and (3) operating leverage in SG&A.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income¹ (in R$ mn) and Margin

2Q20 vs 2Q21

Adjusted Net Income grew 83%, from R$565 million in 2Q20 to R$1,034 million in 2Q21, in connection with the factors explained in the Adjusted EBITDA plus a lower effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate decreased from 11.4% in the 2Q20 to 7.1% in 2Q21, mainly due to our current revenue and expense mix across subsidiaries. Our Adjusted Net Margin expanded by 485 bps to 34.2% in 2Q21.

As of June 30, 2021, we now classify (i) financial bills, foreign exchange portfolio and credit card operations as net cash (used in) from banking activities. (ii) the commissions and incentives to our IFA network as adjusted net cash flow from investing activities.

Net Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities

Our net cash flow used in Operating activities represented by Adjusted net cash flow (used in) from operating activities (which in management views as a more useful metric to track the intrinsic cash flow generation of the business) increased to R$2,086 million for 2Q21 from R$1,442 million in 1Q21, and from R$1,212 million in 2Q20 driven by:

·	Higher<br>balance of securities and derivatives that we hold in the ordinary course of our business as a Retail investment distribution platform<br>and as an Institutional broker dealer (with respect to the sale of fixed income securities and structured notes);
·	Our strategy to allocate excess cash and cash<br>equivalents from treasury funds, from Floating Balances and from private pension balances to securities and other financial assets. These<br>balances may fluctuate substantially from quarter-to-quarter and were the key drivers to the net cash flow from operating activities figures;
---	---
·	Increases in our banking activities from loans<br>operations, deposits mainly derived from time deposits, structured operations certificates (COEs) and other financial liabilities which<br>include financial bills as a result of our expected growth in new financials services verticals;
---	---
·	Combined with non-cash expenses consisting primarily<br>of (i) share based plan of R$126 million in 2Q21 and R$24 million in 2Q20 and (ii) depreciation and amortization of R$58 million in 2Q21<br>and R$40 million in 2Q20, our income before tax was R$ 1,180 million in 2Q21 and R$736 million in 2Q20. The total amount of adjustments<br>to reconcile income before income taxes was R$178 million in 2Q21 and R$127 million in 2Q20.
---	---

Net Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities

Our adjusted net cash flow used in investing activities (which in management’s view is a more useful metric to track the inherent cash flow used in investing activities) increased from R$550 million in 1Q21 to R$1,248 million in 2Q21 and increased from R$92 million in 2Q20 to R$1,248 million in 2Q21, primarily affected by:

·	Investments related to our IFA network, which<br>increased from R$387 million in 1Q21 to R$1,102 million in 2Q21 and from R$55 million in 2Q20 to R$1,102 million in 2Q21.
·	The investment in intangible assets, mostly IT<br>infrastructure and software development capitalization, which decreased from R$114 million in 1Q21 to R$80 million in 2Q21 and increased<br>from R$27 million in 2Q20;
---	---
·	Our investments in FinTech associates and joint<br>ventures of R$37 million in 2Q21 and R$24 million in 1Q21.
---	---

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Our net cash flows from financing activities increased from the use of R$26 million in 1Q21 and R$95 million in 2Q20 to generation of R$1,884 million in 2Q21 and from, primarily due to:

·	R$1,570 million in 2Q21 related to Borrowings<br>mostly derived by our loan agreement with Banco Nacional do México.
·	R$500 million in 2Q21 related to issuance of<br>non-convertible debentures with the objective of funding the Group’s working capital for the construction of our new headquarters<br>“Vila XP” at São Roque, State of São Paulo.
---	---
·	R$17 million in 2Q21, R$24 million in 1Q21, and<br>R$27 million in 2Q20 related to Payments of borrowings and lease liabilities.

We present Adjusted Gross Financial Assets because we believe this metric captures the liquidity that is, in fact, available to us, net of the portion of liquidity that is related to our Floating Balance (and therefore attributable to clients). We calculate Adjusted Gross Financial Assets as the sum of (1) Cash and Financial Assets (comprised of Cash plus Securities – Fair value through profit or loss, plus Securities – Fair value through other comprehensive income, plus Securities – Evaluated at amortized cost, plus Derivative financial instruments, plus Securities (purchased under agreements to resell), plus Loans and Foreign exchange portfolio (assets) less (2) Financial Liabilities (comprised of the sum of Securities loaned, Derivative financial instruments, Securities sold under repurchase agreements and Private pension liabilities), Deposits, Structured Operation Certificates (COE), Financial Bills, Foreign exchange portfolio (liabilities), Credit cards operations and (3) less Floating Balance.

It is a measure that we track internally daily, and it more intuitively reflects the effect of the operational profits we generate and the variations between working capital assets and liabilities (cash flows from operating activities), investments in fixed and intangible assets and investments in the IFA Network (cash flows from investing activities) and inflows and outflows related to equity and debt securities in our capital structure (cash flows from financing activities).Our management treats all securities and financial instrument assets, net of financial instrument liabilities, as balances that compose our total liquidity, with subline items (such as, for example, “securities at fair value through profit and loss” and “securities at fair value through other comprehensive income”) expected to fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter as our treasury manages and allocates our total liquidity to the most suitable financial instruments.

These risks and uncertainties include factors relating to: (1) general economic, financial, political, demographic and business conditions in Brazil, as well as any other countries we may serve in the future and their impact on our business; (2) fluctuations in interest, inflation and exchange rates in Brazil and any other countries we may serve in the future; (3) competition in the financial services industry; (4) our ability to implement our business strategy; (5) our ability to adapt to the rapid pace of technological changes in the financial services industry; (6) the reliability, performance, functionality and quality of our products and services and the investment performance of investment funds managed by third parties or by our asset managers; (7) the availability of government authorizations on terms and conditions and within periods acceptable to us; (8) our ability to continue attracting and retaining new appropriately-skilled employees; (9) our capitalization and level of indebtedness; (10) the interests of our controlling shareholders; (11) changes in government regulations applicable to the financial services industry in Brazil and elsewhere; (12) our ability to compete and conduct our business in the future; (13) the success of operating initiatives, including advertising and promotional efforts and new product, service and concept development by us and our competitors; (14) changes in consumer demands regarding financial products, customer experience related to investments and technological advances, and our ability to innovate to respond to such changes; (15) changes in labor, distribution and other operating costs; (16) our compliance with, and changes to, government laws, regulations and tax matters that currently apply to us; (17) other factors that may affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein speak only as at the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Past performance does not guarantee or predict future performance. Moreover, the Company and its affiliates, officers, employees and agents do not undertake any obligation to review, update or confirm expectations or estimates or to release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that arise in relation to the content of the release. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented and we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements.

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 our Floating Balance, Adjusted Gross Financial Assets, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjustments to Reported Net Income, which are 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 an AUC 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.

“Assets Under Custody (AUC)” 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 (Floating Balances), among others. Although AUC 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

Report on review of interim condensed consolidatedfinancial statements

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders XP Inc.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheets of XP Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as at June 30, 2021 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods then ended, and the interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six- month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", and ISRE 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2.	Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies
a)	Basis of preparation
---	---

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for six and three months ended June 30, 2021, changes in equity, and cash flows for six months period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (“the financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The list of notes that were not presented in this unaudited interim condensed is described below:

Note to financial statements of December 31, 2020	Description
3.	Summary of significant accounting policies
4.	Significant estimated and judgements
5.	Group structure
11.	Accounts receivable
12.	Recoverable taxes
24.	Social and Statutory obligations
25.	Tax and social security obligations
29. (a)	Key-person management compensation
38. (b) to (f)	Management of financial risks and financial instruments

| --- |

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (“R$”), which is the Group’s presentation currency and all amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units unless otherwise stated.

b)	New accounting policies adopted by the Group

Financial liabilitiesdesignated at FVPL

Classificationand subsequent measurement

The Group applied the fair value option as an alternative measurement for selected financial liabilities. Financial liabilities can be irrevocably designated as measured at FVPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases, or a group of financial instruments is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liabilities designated at FVPL that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liabilities shall be presented in other comprehensive income. See more information in Note 4 e).

c)	New standards, interpretationsand amendments adopted by the Group

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Interest RateBenchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank

offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR).

The amendments include the following practical expedients:

·	A<br> practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly<br> required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent<br> to a movement in a market rate of interest
·	Permit<br> changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation<br> without the hedging relationship being discontinued
---	---
·	Provide<br> temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement<br> when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component
---	---

These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

d)	Basis of consolidation

There were no changes since December 31, 2020 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation of the Company’s direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the following items:

(iii)	Subsidiaries closed in the period.

e)	Interests in associates andjoint ventures
---	---
i.	Associates
---	---

Associates are companies in which the investor has a significant influence but does not hold control. Investments in these companies are initially recognized at cost of acquisition and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates and joint ventures include the goodwill identified upon acquisition, net of any cumulative impairment loss.

ii.	Joint ventures

The Group has joint venture whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets.

iii.	Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

| --- |

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity-accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

If its interest in the associates and joint ventures decreases, but the Group retains significant influence or joint control, only the proportional amount of the previously recognized amounts in Other comprehensive income is reclassified in Income, when appropriate.

f)	Business combinations

During 2020 the Group acquired certain companies as part of our growth strategy and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of each acquisition date were:

	Fliper	Antecipa	DM10	Total

From R$ 63,297 of net cash flow on aquisition, R$ 62,443 was settled during 2020, and R$ 857 was settled in 2021.

*During the measurement period, the purchase consideration transferred for the acquisitions was adjusted to R$ 125,774 (R$ 100,923 previously disclosed) as a result of purchase price adjustments. Accordingly, goodwill was updated to R$2,233.

** During the measurement period, the preliminary contingent consideration for the acquisitions was adjusted to R$39,032 (R$14,183 previously disclosed) as a result of a fair value adjustment of R$24,849.

For the purchase price allocation, the following intangible assets were identified. The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of separately identified intangible assets acquired were as follows:

For the concluded acquisitions, the total consideration paid is R$125,774, being: i) R$62,443 paid in cash, ii) R$21,487 payable in three consecutives annual installments from 2020 to 2022 adjusted by the Interbank Certificates of Deposit (“CDI”) rate; and iii) R$ 39,032 as a fair value of the contingent consideration.

The goodwill recognized includes the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, which is not separately recognized. The goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income taxes purposes.

In addition, the Company incurred direct costs for the business combinations which were expensed as incurred.

The results of operations of the businesses acquired for periods prior to acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company´s consolidated statements of income and, accordingly, pro forma information has not been presented.

6.	Hedge accounting
---	---

The Group has two types of hedge relationships: hedge of net investment in foreign operations and fair value hedge. For hedge accounting purposes, the risk factors measured by the Group are:

·	Interest<br> Rate: Risk of volatility in transactions subject to interest rate variations;
·	Currency:<br> Risk of volatility in transactions subject to foreign exchange variation.
---	---

The structure of risk limits is extended to the risk factor level, where specific limits aim at improving the monitoring and understanding processes, as well as avoiding concentration of these risks.

The structures designed for interest rate and exchange rate categories take into account total risk when there are compatible hedging instruments. In certain cases, management may decide to hedge a risk for the risk factor term and limit of the hedging instrument.

a)	Hedge of net investment in foreign operations

In the period ended June 30, 2021, the objective for the Group was to hedge the risk generated by the US$ variation from investments in our subsidiaries in the United States, XP Holdings International and XP Advisors Inc.

| --- |

The Group has entered into forward contracts to protect against changes in future cash flows and exchange rate variation of net investments in foreign operations known as Non Deliverable Forward (“NDF”) contracts.

The Group undertakes risk management through the economic relationship between hedge instruments and hedged items, in which it is expected that these instruments will move in opposite directions, in the same proportions, with the aim of neutralizing the risk factors.

b)	Fair value hedge
---	---

The fair value hedging strategy of the Group consists of hedging the exposure of Fixed-Income securities carried out through structured operations certificates.

The market risk hedge strategy involves avoiding temporary fluctuations in earnings arising from changes in the interest rate market in Reais. Once this risk is offset, the Group seeks to index the portfolio to the CDI, through the use of derivatives (DI1 Futuro).

The hedge is contracted in order to neutralize the total exposure to the market risk of the fixed-income funding portfolio, excluding the portion of the fixed-income compensation represented by the credit spread of Banco XP S.A, seeking to obtain the closest match deadlines and volumes as possible.

The effects of hedge accounting on the financial position and performance of the Group are presented below:

The loan products offered to its customers throught Banco XP are fully collaterized by customers’ investments on XP platform and credit product strictly related to investments in structured notes, in which the borrower is able to operate leveraged, retaining the structured note itself as guarantee for the loan.

Certain loans operations originated by the collateralized credit have insignificant risk of loss, which results in no loss allowance being recognised in accordance with the Group's expected credit loss model. The carrying amount of such financial assets is R$542,194 at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – R$297,443).

The Group uses client’s investments as collaterals to reduce potential losses and protect against credit risk exposure. The Group monitors the value of the collaterals so that they are always sufficient, legally enforceable (effective) and viable. The Credit Risk Management provides subsidies to define strategies as risk appetite, to establish limits, including exposure analysis and trends as well as the effectiveness of the credit policy.

The reconciliation of loans operations according with IFRS 9 are presented in Note 10.

b) Impairment test for goodwill

Given the interdependency of cash flows and the merger of business practices, all Group’s entities are considered a single cash generating unit (“CGU”) and, therefore, goodwill impairment test is performed at the single operating level. Therefore, the carrying amount considered for the impairment test represents the Company’s equity.

The Group performs its annual impairment test in December and when circumstances indicates that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group’s impairment tests are based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the cash generating unit were disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, there were no indicators of a potential impairment of goodwill.

As of June 30, 2021, active plans are principally accumulation of financial resources through brazilian private pension products (“PGBL” and “VGBL”) structured in the form of variable contribution, for the purpose of granting participants with returns based on the accumulated capital in the form of monthly withdraws for a certain term or temporary monthly withdraws derived from the operations by XP Vida e Previdência.

In this respect, such financial products represent investment contracts that have the legal form of private pension plans, but which do not transfer insurance risk to the Group. Therefore, contributions received from participants are accounted for as liabilities and balance consists of the balance of the participant in the linked Specially Constituted Investment Fund (“FIE”) at the reporting date (Note 4 (a)).

28.	Earnings per share (basic and diluted)

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period attributed to the owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to owners of XP Inc by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential shares into shares. The shares in the share based plan are the only shares with potential dilutive effect.

The following table presents the calculation of net income applicable to the owners of the parent and basic and diluted EPS for the six and three months period ended of June 30:

	Six months period ended June 30,		Three months period ended June 30,
	2021	2020	2021	2020

29.	Determination of fair value
---	---

The Group measures financial instruments such as certain financial investments and derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The financial instruments included in the level 1 consist mainly in public financial instruments and financial instruments negotiated on active markets (i.e. Stock Exchanges).

| **XP Inc. and its subsidiaries**<br><br>**Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements**<br><br>**As of June 30, 2021**<br><br>***In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated*** |

| --- |

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined using valuation techniques, which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are directly or indirectly observable, the instrument is included in level 2. The financial instruments classified as level 2 are composed mainly from private financial instruments and financial instruments negotiated in a secondary market.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

·	Financial<br> assets (other than derivatives) - The fair value of securities is determined by reference<br> to their closing prices on the date of presentation of the consolidated financial statements.<br> If there is no market price, fair value is estimated based on the present value of future<br> cash flows discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date of presentation.
•	Swap –<br> These operations swap cash flow based on the comparison of profitability between two indexers.<br> Thus, the agent assumes both positions – put in one indexer and call on another.
---	---
•	Forward<br> - at the market quotation value, and the installments receivable or payable are prefixed<br> to a future date, adjusted to present value, based on market rates published at B3.
---	---
•	Futures<br> – Foreign exchange rates, prices of shares and commodities are commitments to buy or<br> sell a financial instrument at a future date, at a contracted price or yield and may be settled<br> in cash or through delivery. Daily cash settlements of price movements are made for all instruments.
---	---
•	Options<br> - option contracts give the purchaser the right to buy the instrument at a fixed price negotiated<br> at a future date. Those who acquire the right must pay a premium to the seller. This premium<br> is not the price of the instrument, but only an amount paid to have the option (possibility)<br> to buy or sell the instrument at a future date for a previously agreed price.
---	---
•	Other financial<br> assets and liabilities - Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated<br> based on the present value of the principal and future cash flows, discounted using the observable<br> rates and market rates on the date the financial statements are presented.
---	---
•	Loans operations – Fair<br>value is determined through the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the observable rates and market rates on<br>the date the financial statements are presented.
---	---
•	Contingent<br> consideration: Fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to acquisitions<br> is estimated by applying the income approach and discounting the expected future payments<br> to selling shareholders under the terms of the purchase and sale agreements.
---	---

Below are the Group financial assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Group assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels:

The contigent consideration liability represents the maximum amount payable under the purchase and sale agreements discounted using a weighted average rate of 7.84% p.a. Change in the discount rate by 100 bps would increase/decrease the fair value by R$15,051.

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), and operational risk. The Group’s overall risk management structure focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

Management has overall responsibility for establishing and supervising the risk management structure of the Group. Risk Management is under a separated structure from business areas, reporting directly to senior management, to ensure exemption of conflict of interest, and segregation of functions appropriate to good corporate governance and market practices.

The risk management policies of the Group are established to identify and analyze the risks faced, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to the limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the activities of the Group. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, developed a disciplined and constructive control environment within which all its employees are aware of their duties and obligations.

Regarding one specific subsidiary XP CCTVM, the organizational structure is based on the recommendations proposed by the Basel Accord, in which procedures, policies and methodology are formalized consistent with risk tolerance and with the business strategy and the various risks inherent to the operations and/or processes, including market, liquidity, credit and operating risks. The Group seek to follow the same risk management practices as those applying to all companies.

Such risk management processes are also related to going concern management procedures, mainly in terms of formulating impact analyses, business continuity plans, contingency plans, backup plans and crisis management.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2020. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year-end.

Sensitivity analysis

According to the market information, the Group performed the sensitivity analysis by market risk factors considered relevant. The largest losses, by risk factor, in each of the scenarios were presented with an impact on the profit or loss, providing a view of the exposure by risk factor of the Group in exceptional scenarios. The following sensitivity analyzes do not consider the functioning dynamics of risk and treasury areas, since once these losses are detected, risk mitigation measures are quickly triggered, minimizing the possibility of significant losses.

31.	Capital Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group also monitors capital on the basis of the net debt and the gearing ratio. Net debt is calculated as total debt (including borrowings, lease liabilities, Structured financing and debentures as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalent (including cash, Securities purchased under agreements to resell and certificate deposits as shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows). The gearing ratio corresponds to the net debt expressed as a percentage of total capital.
