Summary

Operating KPIs

1. INVESTMENTS

Client Assets and Net Inflow (in R$ billion)

Client Assets totaled R$1.4 trillion in 2Q25, up 14% YoY and 3% QoQ. Year-over-year growth was driven by R$96 billion net inflow and R$72 billion of market appreciation.

In 2Q25, Net Inflow was R$10 billion, and Retail Net Inflow was R$16 billion, 21% lower QoQ, and 34% lower YoY.

Since 2025 — and retrospectively back to 1Q24 — we began including institutional client assets in our total client assets, which had not been accounted for previously. In addition, we are now also disclosing our assets under management (AuM) and assets under administration (AuA) separately. The combined total of client assets, AuM, and AuC reached R$1.9 trillion, representing 17% YoY growth.

It's important to note that the reported net inflow refers exclusively to total client assets and does not include AuM or AuA.

Active Clients (in ‘000s)

Active clients grew 2% YoY and 1% QoQ, totaling 4.7 million in 2Q25.

Total Advisors (in ‘000s)

Total Advisors connected to XP, including (1) IFAs, (2) XP employees who offer advisory services, (3) Registered Investment Advisors, consultants and wealth managers, among others. As of 2Q25, we had 18.2 thousand Total Advisors, stable YoY.

Retail DATs totaled 2.3 million in 2Q25, down 4% YoY and 4% higher QoQ.

NPS

Our NPS, a widely known survey methodology used to measure customer satisfaction, was 72 in 2Q25. 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.

5. INSURANCE

Gross Written Premiums (in R$ million)

Gross written premiums (GWP) refer to the total amount of premium income that XPs has written or sold during a particular reporting period before deductions for provisions, reinsurance and other expenses. This figure represents the total premiums that customers have agreed to pay for life insurance policies issued by the company, or sold by the company and issued by third-party insurers, including both new policies and renewals. It is a crucial metric for assessing the total business volume of an insurance company or insurance broker within that period.

In the 2Q25, Gross Written Premiums grew 45% YoY and 28% QoQ.

Discussion of Financial Results

Total Gross Revenue

Gross revenue reached R$4.7 billion in 2Q25, reflecting a 2% increase quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and a 4% increase year-over-year (YoY). Annual growth was primarily driven by our Retail business.

Retail Revenue

Retail revenue reached R$3,577 million in 2Q25, marking a 4% increase quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and a 9% increase year-over-year (YoY). YoY growth was driven by (1) another strong quarter in fixed income, which grew 20%, and (2) Other Retail revenues, which include float, FX transactions, digital account, consortium, global investments, among others, which grew 31%.

Take Rate

Annualized Retail Take Rate was 1.25% in 2Q25, stable QoQ and 4 bps lower YoY.

Institutional Revenue

Institutional revenue was R$343 million in 2Q25, stable QoQ and 1% lower YoY.

Corporate & Issuer Services Revenue

Corporate & Issuer Services revenue totaled R$547 million in 2Q25, 3% lower QoQ and 13% lower YoY.

In 2Q24, we posted the highest Issuer Services revenues in our history. Despite decent volumes in 2Q25, revenue was 30% lower YoY, marking R$268mn and a decrease of 5% QoQ.

On the other hand, our Corporate division delivered solid growth, with revenues increasing 14% YoY, reaching R$279 million, and a 1% decrease QoQ. This performance was supported by our ability to offer a broad range of solutions to our clients, especially in derivatives and energy.

Other Revenue

Other revenue was R$202 million in 2Q25, 4% lower QoQ and 14% lower YoY.

Costs of Goods Sold and Gross Margin

Gross Margin was 68.4% in 2Q25 versus 69.7% in 2Q24 and 67.1% in 1Q25.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses totaled R$1.6 billion in 2Q25, 10% higher QoQ, and 10% YoY.

Our last twelve months (LTM) compensation ratio³ in 2Q25 was 23.0%, an improvement from 24.6% in 2Q24 and from the 23.1% in 1Q25. Also, our LTM efficiency ratio⁴ reached 34.5% in 2Q25, reinforcing once again our focus on cost discipline and efficient expenses management. This quarter, we recorded higher non-compensation expenses, which grew 24% YoY and 22% QoQ, mainly driven by marketing and technology investments.

Earnings Before Taxes

EBT was R$1,318 million in 2Q25, 4% higher QoQ and 5% lower YoY. EBT Margin was 29.6%. Our EBT Margin was 52 bps higher QoQ, and 321 bps lower YoY.

Diluted EPS was R$2.46 for the quarter, up 7% QoQ and 22% YoY. Earnings per share have been growing faster than net income as a result of the share buyback programs we have been executing over the past few years.

ROTE and ROAE

Our Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) – a metric that excludes Intangibles and Goodwill, and we believe that allows a more meaningful comparison with our peers - was 30.1% in 2Q25, 9 bps lower QoQ and 283 bps higher YoY. Our annualized ROAE⁸ in 2Q25 was 24.4%, up 31 bps QoQ and up 223 bps YoY.

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

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

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

For purposes of this release:

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

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

Rounding

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