XP Inc. Reports 1Q21 FinancialResults
São Paulo, Brazil, May 4, 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 first quarter of 2021.
To our shareholders and employees
I remember it as if it were today when I moved to Porto Alegre, at the age of 24, fleeing my hometown, ashamed of my dismissal and in search of a fresh start.
How quickly these past 20 years have passed!
I confess that at first, I didn't think it would work. The company's capital was practically non-existent, I didn’t have much experience, and everything seemingly conspired against my project. It was by making many mistakes that I ended up finding the niche of financial education and, from this moment on, everything began to happen.
Looking back, I believe that three main pillars have marked my journey:
• Partnership: sharing my dream with people who complemented my background and aligning them with me for the long term;
• Resilience: the ability to not give up regardless of difficulties or obstacles;
• Humility: recognize errors quickly and learn from them.
In the business world, the distance between two points is not always a straight line, but rather a zigzag. Each scenario shift demanded changes, many of them severe, to adjust and adapt XP's business model. The challenge has always been, and will continue to be, to connect the dots in a chronological sequence while maintaining a long-term vision.
We became known as the “XP boys”. In a traditional market, where labels meant more than purpose, that was the way to underestimate us.
We played an important role in strengthening the Brazilian capital market, and we were pioneers in the development of the independent investment industry. After all, until recently, almost everything was done within the five largest banks in Brazil.
The Brazilian population has always been, and continues to be, hostage to a concentrated system, controlled by few participants who have no genuine concern for the quality of services or products delivered to customers.
Some clear examples of this are always worth repeating: R$1 trillion currently sitting in Poupança (Savings Accounts), and interest charged on credit cards and loans often exceeding 10% per month.
For these reasons and many others, the opportunity we have in Brazil is probably one of the largest in the world in terms of disruption of the traditional financial sector.
Our challenge in the coming years will continue to be promoting transformation in this industry ethically and respectfully, seeking what is best for the client.
In 2021, we evolved our business model. Before, we were an investment company focused on “helping Brazilians to invest better”. Today, we are a company that aims to “transform the financial market to improve people's lives”. For many, the difference may be subtle, but for us it is massive.
Our Big Dream is moving towards fully addressing Brazilians’ financial journey, complementing the investment offering, our core and origin, with a universe of credit and banking services. In this sense, in 2021, we are expanding our platform with new products such as more affordable loans, digital accounts, credit cards and
2
insurance. We will make sure that our current and new customers will be able to have a more holistic relationship with XP Inc.
Another relevant short-term deliverable is the offering of banking services, through a customized experience, for businesses, encompassing small, mid-sized and corporate segments.
Additionally, we will continue to focus on strengthening our insurance company, fund administrator, our offshore operations (XP Investments), new investment fund lines and our active participation in debt, REITs and equity offerings.
The Brazilian financial system is expected to generate approximately R$770 billion in revenue in 2021, and in 2020 we accounted for just over 1% of the total. The avenue of opportunities for us to transform this ecosystem is wide, and we will not rest until this happens.
Finally, I want to take this opportunity to ratify the letter recently sent about my new role as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of XP Inc. and the appointment of Thiago Maffra as CEO.
As CTO, Maffra led an unprecedented and highly successful digital transformation in our company.
The whole executive board was unanimous in appointing him as the most prepared professional to lead XP’s daily challenges and manage the company through its ever-changing evolution cycle. We are confident that he is one of the brightest and most passionate professionals, ready to take the company to a new level of scale and impact on the Brazilian financial industry.
It’s time to accelerate changes and evolve from a model in which “technology serves the business” to one where “technology empowers clients, while working for the business”. This type of transformation requires a new mindset, a highly collaborative approach that integrates every facet of XP – from product, design, operations and technology, curating our clients’ experience from end-to-end.
Over the past 20 years, I genuinely have not felt as confident in the long-term success of XP and in the opportunities we have in our hands as I do now. After all, this transition process says a lot about our culture and values, placing the right people in the correct positions so that they can maximize their contributions and make our company stronger.
Predicting the future is impossible, however, as someone who has always believed in making impossible dreams possible, I think that XP will be increasingly admired, sustainable, innovative, technological and profitable.
Finally, once again I would like to thank you for the trust and all the interactions we had during my time as CEO. I will continue to be here, 100% present, but with other ambitions and focused on our long-term since it never hurts to remember: we are just getting started!

Operational Performance
Assets Under Custody (in R$ billions)

Total AUC reached R$715 billion at March 31, up 96% year-over-year and 8% quarter-over-quarter. Year-over-year growth was driven by R$252 billion of net inflows and R$97 billion of market appreciation. Through a very challenging twelve-month period since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, XP’s business model and strategy proved its resilience and reinforced the efficacy of innovation and adaptation while strengthening relationships with employees, clients and partners.
Consistent AUC growth throughout the past several years and in various macroeconomic environments, including recession and other unfavorable trends, was achieved by the combination of the high concentration on the Brazilian financial industry and XP’s disruptive client-centric and digital driven approach. We are confident that expressive performance and secular changes should persist for many years to come as we maintain our focus and culture and expand to new markets and verticals going forward.
Net Inflows (in R$ billions)

Average monthly Net Inflows, adjusted for extraordinary equity inflows/outflows, was R$14.2 billion in 1Q21, up 15% from R$12.3 billion in 4Q20. For 1Q21, flows were strong across all channels and brands, led by the IFA network, reflecting investments in the business in the second half of 2020.
5
Active Clients (in 000’s)

Active clients grew 47% and 8% in 1Q21 vs 1Q20 and 4Q20, respectively. Average monthly net client additions increased to 72,000 in 1Q21 from 44,000 in 4Q20, reflecting seasonality, the reduction of brokerage fees for online stock trading at Rico and XP in 3Q20 and our ongoing client acquisition and brand awareness efforts.
IFA Network

IFA Network gross additions totaled 917 in 1Q21, consistent with strong growth trends in 2H20. Our total IFA headcount stood at nearly 9,000 as of March 31, 2021. Ongoing IFA growth was driven by both industry growth as well as XP’s network investments.
Retail Equity DARTs¹ (million trades)

¹Daily Average Revenue Trades, including Stocks, REITs, Options and Futures
Retail DARTs increased 23% in 1Q21 to 3.2 million from an already robust level of 2.6 million in 4Q20. The remarkable figures reinforce the benefits of the platform investments and pricing strategy across XP’s three Retail brands. On a year-over-year basis, DARTs grew 91% from 1.7 million in 1Q20, reflecting the ongoing increase in the participation and relevance of individual investors on the Brazilian Stock Exchange.
6
Credit Portfolio^1^ (in R$ millions)

Our Credit portfolio reached R$4.7 billion as of March 31, 2021, representing 0.7% of our total AUC. The average duration of our credit book was 3.1 years, with a 90-day Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of 0.0%. Furthermore, we highlight the capital-light nature of our loan book, which currently represents R$916 million of Risk Weighted Assets and requires minimum regulatory capital of R$73 million. The fact that a relevant portion of loans is collateralized reduces capital needs for growth. Our book is mainly funded by the issuance of Structured Notes (COEs) and Deposits, which are distributed to clients via XP’s platform.
¹This portfolio does not include Credit Card related loans and receivables
Net Promoter Score (NPS)
Our NPS, a widely known survey methodology used to measure customer satisfaction, increased to 74 in March 2021, reflecting our ongoing efforts to provide superior customer service at the lowest possible 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.
7
1Q21 Revenue Breakdown

Total Gross Revenue (in R$ millions)

Total Gross Revenue reached an all-time high, increasing 50% from R$1.9 billion in 1Q20 to R$2.8 billion in 1Q21, despite a lower contribution from performance fees. The increase was mainly driven by strong growth in the Retail business, which contributed 90% of the growth year-over-year.
8
Retail
Retail Revenue (in R$ millions)

1Q20 vs 1Q21
Retail revenue grew 67% from R$1.3 billion in 1Q20 to R$2.1 billion in 1Q21. Revenue generation was strong across all products and channels within Retail, as resilient secondary trading volumes in securities, solid primary market activity, increases in structured operations distribution and growing management fees more than offset the reduced fees for online stock trading put into place in September 2020.
In 1Q21, Retail-related revenues represented 79% 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.
9
LTM Take Rate (LTM Retail Revenue / AverageAUC)

1Q21 take rate (for the last twelve months) remained stable compared to 1Q20. Despite the strong growth in AUC during the period and pricing changes in online brokerage, Retail monetization remained stable due to higher client activity and our diversified revenue profile. The resilience in the take rate reinforces the power of the ecosystem and ongoing product development, positioning XP as the main beneficiary of 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$ millions)

1Q20 vs 1Q21
Institutional gross revenue was R$294 million in the 1Q21, down 11% from R$331 million in 1Q20. Despite the growth in core institutional trading desks in 1Q21, 1Q20 benefited from strong client activity in the fixed income business related to the pandemic.
10
In 1Q21, Institutional revenue accounted for 8% of consolidated Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income Statement, and was composed mostly of Fixed Income secondary transactions and Derivatives, among others.
Issuer Services
Issuer Services Revenue (in R$ millions)

1Q20 vs 1Q21
Issuer Services revenue expanded 77% year-over-year from R$132 million in 1Q20 to R$234 million in 1Q21. This increase was driven by (1) Equity Capital Markets (ECM), with 12 executed deals vs 5 in 1Q20, and (2) our Debt Capital Markets (DCM) division, with participation in 43 deals vs 36 in 1Q20. In 2021, XP remains committed to further developing Capital Markets in Brazil. In 1Q21, XP ranked #1 in REITs distribution, and CRA (agribusiness certificate of receivable). To reinforce our Capital Markets ecosystem and complete the suite of products and services we offer to our corporate clients, we recently hired one of the most seasoned and respected teams in M&A. We expect that the combination of M&A expertise and XP’s differentiated network will drive accelerating growth looking ahead.
Digital Content and Other
Digital Content Revenue
Gross revenue totaled R$23 million in 1Q21, down 16% from R$27 million in 1Q20. 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. 1Q21 trends were still impacted by the absence of in-person events and courses.
11
Other Revenue
1Q20 vs 1Q21
Other revenue increased 29% in 1Q21 vs. 1Q20, from R$113 million to R$145 million. In 1Q21, other revenue accounted for 13% of consolidated Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income Statement, composed mostly of interest on adjusted gross cash and results related to our asset and liability management.
COGS
COGS (in R$ millions) and Gross Margin


1Q20 vs 1Q21
COGS rose 45% from R$579 million in 1Q20 to R$841 million in 1Q21, following the expansion in overall Retail Revenues. The gross margin expanded 137 bps, from 66.6% to 68.0%, despite the impact of long-term incentives with the IFA network, as costs were abnormally high in the same period of last year due to the beginning of the pandemic.
12
SG&A Expenses
SG&A Expense (ex-Share-Based Compensation)(in R$ millions)


1Q20 vs 1Q21
SG&A expenses (excluding share-based compensation) totaled R$765 million in 1Q21, up 36% from R$561 million in 1Q20. Despite growing our headcount by 64% year-over-year, continuously investing in technology and new verticals, and deploying new products, we increased efficiency, reducing expenses as a percentage of net revenue by 321 bps.
13
Share-Based Compensation (in R$ millions)
Through 1Q21, 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 4Q20, the first quarter fully impacted by the larger grants in 2020. 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.



14
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA¹ (in R$ millions) and Margin


¹ See appendix for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.
1Q20 vs 1Q21
Adjusted EBITDA grew 75%, from R$595 million to R$1,043 million and margins expanded from 34.3% to 39.7%. The growth was driven by (1) increases in the top line, mainly coming from Retail; (2) better COGS as a percentage of Net Revenues, and consequently higher gross margins and (3) operating leverage in SG&A. Despite investments in technology, product development, and new hires -- headcount increased by 64% during the last 12 months - the margin expansion was attributable to our highly scalable business model.
15
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income¹ (in R$ millions) andMargin

1Q21 vs 1Q20
Adjusted Net Income grew 104%, from R$415 million in 1Q20 to R$846 million in 1Q21. Year-over-year growth was driven by (1) strong performance for the Retail business; (2) cost efficiencies and operating leverage and (3) a lower effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate decreased from 23.0% in the 1Q20 to 6.4% in 1Q21, mainly due to our post-IPO corporate structure. Our Adjusted Net Margin expanded by 827 bps to 32.2% in 1Q21.

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’s view is a more useful metric to track the intrinsic cash flow generation of the business) decreased to R$1,409 million for 1Q21 from R$1,615 million 4Q20, and increased from R$330 million in 1Q20driven by:
| · | Higher<br>balances 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<br>strategy to allocate excess cash and cash equivalents from treasury funds, Floating Balances and private pension balances to securities<br>and other financial assets. These balances may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter and were key drivers to net cash flow<br>from operating activities figures; |
| --- | --- |
| · | Increases<br>in our banking activities from loans operations, deposits mainly derived from time deposits, structured operations certificates (COEs)<br>and other financial liabilities which include financial bills as a result of our expected growth in new financial services verticals. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Growth<br>of our omni-channel distribution network through our network of IFA partners; |
| --- | --- |
| · | Our<br>income before tax of R$1,017 million in 1Q21 and R$892 million in 4Q20 combined with non-cash expenses consisting primarily of (i) share-based<br>plan expenses of R$140 million in 1Q21 and R$154 million in 4Q20 and (ii) depreciation and amortization of R$69 million in 1Q21 and R$37<br>million in 4Q20. The total amount of adjustments to reconcile income before income taxes of R$233 million in 1Q21 and in 4Q20 was R$229<br>million. |
| --- | --- |
17
Net Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities decreased from R$202 million in 4Q20 to R$162 million in 1Q21 and increased from R$41 million in 1Q20, primarily affected by:
| · | the<br>investment in intangible assets, mostly IT infrastructure and capitalization software development which increased from from R$20 million<br>in 1Q20 and R$67 million in 4Q20 to R$114 million in 1Q21. |
|---|---|
| · | the<br>investment in the expansion of our office spaces due to accelerated growth in employee headcount to support the growth in our business<br>and operations, including the construction of our new headquarters at Villa XP which decreased from R$105 million in 4Q20 to R$24 million<br>in 1Q21 and increased from R$21 million in 1Q20. The construction of Villa XP may result in additional capital expenditures, but we do<br>not expect these to have a material impact on our liquidity position or cash flows. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Our<br>investments in FinTechs, associates and joint ventures of R$24 million in 1Q21 and R$30 million in 4Q20; |
| --- | --- |
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Our net cash flows from financing activities decreased from R$28 million in 1Q20 and R$1,390 million in 4Q20 to R$26 million in 1Q21, primarily due to:
| · | R$24<br>million in 1Q21, R$22 million in 4Q20 and R$26 million in 1Q20 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, 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) 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 (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
19
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.

Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, officers, employees or agents makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the achievement or reasonableness of future projections, management targets, estimates, prospects or returns, if any.
The information contained in this release does not purport to be comprehensive and has not been subject to any independent audit or review. Certain of the financial information as of and for the periods ended of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 has been derived from audited financial statements and all other financial information has been derived from unaudited interim financial statements. A significant portion of the information contained in this release is based on estimates or expectations of the Company, and there can be no assurance that these estimates or expectations are or will prove to be accurate. The Company’s internal estimates have not been verified by an external expert, and the Company cannot guarantee that a third party using different methods to assemble, analyze or compute market information and data would obtain or generate the same results.
Statements in the release, including those regarding the possible or assumed future or other performance of the Company or its industry or other trend projections, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are generally identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” and “potential,” among others. By their nature, forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future whether or not outside the control of the Company. Such factors may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. 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
We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this annual report. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.

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. as at March 31, 2021 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and cash flows for the three-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 did 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.

| 1.3 | COVID-19 |
|---|
Covid-19 has significantly impacted the world economy. Many countries have imposed travel bans on millions of people and, additionally, people in many locations are subject to quarantine measures. Businesses are dealing with lost revenue and disrupted supply chains. Countries have imposed lockdowns in response to the pandemic and, as a result of the disruption to businesses, millions of workers have lost their jobs. The Covid-19 pandemic has also resulted in significant volatility in the financial and commodities markets worldwide. Numerous governments have announced measures to provide both financial and non-financial assistance to the affected entities. During the pandemic, the Group maintained trading platforms and other services available to clients without interruption. XP has played a valuable role on keeping our clients connected to the market and reinforce our mission to our clients.
Based on thorough assessments about the well-being and performance of our workforce, management announced on September 11, 2020, the permanent and company-wide adoption of the home-office model.
The Group has reviewed its exposure to economic-related and market volatility, which could negatively impact the value of a certain class of financial instruments however has not identified relevant impact to the financial performance or position of the group as March 31, 2021. The Company has sufficient headroom to enable it to comply with its covenants on its existing borrowings and sufficient working capital and undrawn financing facilities to service its operating activities and ongoing investments.
| 2. | Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies |
|---|---|
| a) | Basis of preparation |
| --- | --- |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and for three months ended March, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 InterimFinancial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

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 standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group |
|---|
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2021. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase2: 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 practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required<br>by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest |
|---|---|
| · | Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without<br>the hedging relationship being discontinued |
| --- | --- |
| · | Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when<br>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.
| c) | 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:

| d) | Interests in associates and joint 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.
| e) | 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:

From R$ 63,297 of net cash flow on aquisition, R$ 62,443 was settled during 2020, and R$ 854 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:
| Assets | Amount | Method | Expected amortization period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer list | 2,181 | Multi-period excess earning method | 5.5 years |
| Trademark | 3,799 | Relief from royalty | 5 years |
| Technology | 9,876 | Relief from royalty | 5 years |
For the concluded acquisitions, the total consideration paid is R$125,773, 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 Rate: Risk of volatility in transactions subject to interest rate variations; |
|---|---|
| · | Currency: 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 March 31, 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 item, 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.

| --- | --- |
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.

Outstanding shares granted and valuation inputs
The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the share-based plan shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares.
As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding number of Company reserved under the plans were 13,413,030 (December 31, 2020 – 13,899,648) including 10,593,118 RSUs (December 31, 2020 – 11,079,736) and 2,819,912 PSUs (December 31, 2020 – 2,819,912).
Set out below are summaries of XP Inc's RSU and PSU activity for March 31, 2021.

| Outstanding, March 31 | 10,593,118 | 2,819,912 | 13,413,030 |
No options were granted, expired or vested during the periods covered by the above table.
For the three months periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, total compensation expense of both plans were R$178,246 (2020 – R$ 28,408), including R$37,697 (2020 – R$ 5,187) of tax provisions and does not include any tax benefits on total share-based compensation expense once, as this expense is not deductible for tax purposes. The tax benefits will be perceived when the shares are converted into common shares.
The original weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSU and PSU shares was US$27 and US$ 34.56 respectively. In May 2020, the Company decided to update the measurement condition of its PSU shares, replacing the TSR measurement from US Dollars (US$) to Brazilian Reais (R$), being therefore subject to exchange variation. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of PSU shares for the updated plan was US$52.41. The incremental fair value will be recognised as an expense over the period from the modification date to the end of the vesting period. All other conditions of the PSU shares plan has not been modified.
| 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.

| 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).
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 assets (other than derivatives) - The fair value of securities is determined by reference to<br>their closing prices on the date of presentation of the consolidated financial statements. If there is no market price, fair value is<br>estimated based on the present value of future cash flows discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date of presentation. |
|---|---|
| • | Swap – 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 - at the market quotation value, and the installments receivable or payable are prefixed to a<br>future date, adjusted to present value, based on market rates published at B3. |

|---|---|
| • | Futures – Foreign exchange rates, prices of shares and commodities are commitments to buy or sell<br>a financial instrument at a future date, at a contracted price or yield and may be settled in cash or through delivery. Daily cash settlements<br>of price movements are made for all instruments. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Options - 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 is not the price of the instrument, but only<br>an amount paid to have the option (possibility) to buy or sell the instrument at a future date for a previously agreed price. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Other financial 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 rates and market rates on the date<br>the financial statements are presented. |
| --- | --- |
• Loans operations – Fair value is determined through the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date the financial statements are presented.
| • | Contingent 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 to selling shareholders under the terms of the<br>purchase and sale agreements. |

As of March 31, 2021 the total contingent consideration liability is reported at fair value and is dependent on the profitability of the acquired associate (WHG) and businesses (Fliper and Antecipa).The total contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The contigent consideration liability represents the maximum amount payable under the purchase and sale agreements discounted using a weighted average rate of 5.19% p.a. Change in the discount rate by 100 bps would increase/decrease the fair value by R$13,933. The change in the fair value in the contingent consideration between the acquisition date and December 31, 2020 was not material.
Transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels are analysed at the end of each consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2021 the Group had no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.
| 30. | Management of financial risks and financial instruments |

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.

|---|
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.

The subsidiary XP CCTVM, leader of the Prudential Conglomerate (which includes Banco XP), under BACEN regulation regime, is required to maintain a minimum capital and follow aspects from the Basel Accord.
The subsidiary XP Vida e Previdência operates in Private Pension Business and is oversight by the SUSEP, being required to present Adjusted Shareholders' Equity (PLA) equal to or greater than the Minimum Required Capital (“CMR”), CMR is equivalent to the highest value between base capital and Venture Capital Liquidity (“CR”).

Statements in the presentation, including those regarding the possible or assumed future or other performance of the Company or its industry or other trend projections, constitute forward - looking statements . These statements are generally identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” and “potential,” among others . By their nature, forward - looking statements are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future whether or not outside the control of the Company . Such factors may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements and there can be no assurance that such forward - looking statements will prove to be correct . 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 ) the negative impacts of the COVID - 19 pandemic on global, regional and national economies and the related market volatility and protracted economic downturn ; and ( 18 ) 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 presentation 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 presentation . 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 presentation 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 presentation 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 presentation also includes certain 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 presentation . For purposes of this presentation : “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, including equities, fixed income securities, mutual funds (including those managed by XP Gestão de Recursos Ltda . , XP Advisory Gestão 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 . 2
