Discussion of Financial Results

Total Gross Revenue¹

Gross revenue reached R$4.9 billion in 1Q26, reflecting an increase of 8% year-over-year and 7% lower quarter-over-quarter.

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

Retail revenue reached R$3,773 million in 1Q26, representing a 2% decrease quarter-over-quarter and a 10% increase year-over-year.

Retail revenue growth in 1Q26 was supported by increase in equity volumes, driven by higher ADTV in equities and futures. Consequently, Equities revenues increased 13% quarter-over-quarter and 22% when compared to the same period of last year, reaching almost R$1.2 billion. Retail Revenue performance also benefited from strong contributions from float and new verticals, which are reported in the Other Retail line and gained representativeness during the quarter.

Take Rate

Annualized Retail Take Rate was 1.18% in 1Q26, 7bps lower QoQ and YoY.

Wholesale Banking

We now include our Institutional business in the Wholesale segment. Taken together, Corporate, Issuer Services and Institutional grew 26% year-over-year, with revenues totaling R$1,146 million in 1Q26. The YoY performance was driven by a robust Corporate activity, with revenues reaching R$498 million, a 78% increase YoY. Due to high volatility, we were able to serve our clients with more derivatives, foreign exchange and trading solutions, boosting this segment’s revenues.

Other Revenue

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

Costs of Goods Sold and Gross Margin

Gross Margin was 67.2% in 1Q26 versus 69.4% in 4Q25 and 67.5% in 1Q25.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses totaled R$1.6 billion in 1Q26, 6% lower QoQ, and 14% higher YoY.

Our last twelve months (LTM) compensation ratio⁴ in 1Q26 was 23.2%. Also, our LTM efficiency ratio⁵ reached 34.6% in 1Q26.

Earnings Before Taxes

EBT was R$1,418 million in 1Q26, down 14% QoQ and up 8% YoY. The EBT margin was 30.0%, slightly up versus the prior year and lower quarter-over-quarter.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS¹

In 1Q26, Adjusted Net Income reached R$1.3 billion, roughly stable QoQ and increasing 7% on a year-over-year comparison. Adjusted Basic EPS was R$2.53, 2% lower QoQ growth and 9% higher YoY. Adjusted Diluted EPS was R$2.49 for the quarter, 3% lower QoQ and 9% higher YoY.

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

In 1Q26 our Adjusted Return on Equity (ROAE) reached 21.7%, while return on tangible equity (ROTE) was 26.2%. Both metrics were down this quarter as we maintained a higher BIS ratio.

Capital Management⁸

In 1Q26 our BIS Ratio was 20.7%, 27 bps higher QoQ and 169 bps higher YoY, while our total RWA was R$122.2 billion, with a 3% increase QoQ and 20% increase YoY. Our CET1 ratio remains at a comfortable level of 17.5%. During 1Q26, we executed share repurchases of approximately R$200 million. In addition, we are announcing a new buyback program of R$1 billion and new dividends in the amount of R$500 million, to be paid on June 18th, 2026.

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.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income is a financial measure that reflects the company’s net income, excluding certain non-recurring or non-cash items that management believes do not reflect the company’s core operating performance. In the current period, this includes adjustments related to social charges and deferred tax assets associated with Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that expired unvested.

These adjustments exclude accounting charges that neither impact cash flow nor reflect recurring earnings volatility. By removing these effects, Adjusted Net Income provides a more accurate view of the company’s underlying profitability.

Additionally, in 4Q25, Adjusted Revenue (+R$13mm) and Adjusted SG&A (-R$3mm) also resulted in an Adjusted EBT. These financial measures exclude certain items that management believes are not indicative of the company’s core operating performance. These adjustments relate to one-off impacts from hedging social charges associated with share-based compensation expenses.

By excluding these items, Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted Expenses offer a more accurate representation of the company’s recurring operating results, facilitating comparability across reporting periods.
