Report on review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements

 

Report on review of interim condensed
consolidated financial 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, 2020 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 fair 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.

In reviewing the operational performance of the Group and allocating resources, the chief operating decision maker of the Group (“CODM”), who is the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Board of Directors (“BoD”), represented by statutory directors holders of ordinary shares of the immediate parent of the Company, reviews selected items of the statement of income and of comprehensive income.

 

The CODM considers the whole Group as a single operating and reportable segment, monitoring operations, making decisions on fund allocation and evaluating performance based on a single operating segment. The CODM reviews relevant financial data on a combined basis for all subsidiaries. Disaggregated information is only reviewed at the revenue level (Note 16), with no corresponding detail at any margin or profitability levels.

 

The Group’s revenue, results and assets for this one reportable segment can be determined by reference to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income and unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

d)Impacts related COVID-19 in the current period

 

Starting from January 2020, it was reported that a novel strain of coronavirus, later named COVID-19, spread worldwide. The current pandemic is expected to have a negative impact on global, regional and national economies and to disrupt supply chains and otherwise reduce international trade and business activity. 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 but has not identified relevant impact to the financial performance or position of the group as March 31, 2020. The company has sufficient headroom to enable it to conform to covenants on its existing borrowings and sufficient working capital and undrawn financing facilities to service its operating activities and ongoing investments.

 

Although the Group have not identified relevant impacts to its financial performance as at March 31, 2020, the Group is monitoring COVID-19 effects on its business, which are still uncertain and will depend on the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain or treat its impact, among others.

 

e)New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet adopted

 

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, 2019.

 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the period ended March 31, 2020, and have not been early adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future financial statements periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

 

The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

 

f)Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group requires management to make judgments and estimates and to adopt assumptions that affect the amounts presented referring to revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the reporting date. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that are set the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

6.Hedge accounting

 

In the three months period ended March 31, 2020 and in the year ended December 31, 2019, the objective for the Group was to hedge the risk generated by the US$ variation from the investments in USA, XP Holding 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.

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 units (“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, 2019.

 

As of March 31, 2020, there were no indicators of a potential impairment of goodwill. Additionally, there are no significant changes to the assumptions in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

For the PSUs, the vesting is the following: (i) 33% will vest on the third year after the grant, (ii) 33%% will vest on the fourth year after the grant and (iii) 34% will vest on the fifth year after the grant date.

 

Under the Performance Share Unit, stocks are granted to eligible participants and their vesting conditions are based on five-year period metrics and also based on the total shareholder return (TSR), including share price growth, dividends and capital returns.

 

If an eligible participant ceases to be employed by the Company, within the vesting period, the rights will be forfeited, except in limited circumstances that are approved by the board on a case-by-case basis.

 

Once the PSUs are vested, the shares of common stock that are delivered must be held for an additional one-year period, typically for a total combined vesting and holding period of six years from the grant date.

b)Fair value of shares granted

 

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model and underlying assumptions, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant and the information available at the grant date.

 

The Company uses certain methodologies to estimate fair value which include the following:

 

Estimation of fair value based on equity transactions with third parties close to the grant date; and

 

Other valuation techniques including share pricing models such as Monte Carlo.

 

These estimates also require determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation models including assumptions regarding the expected life of a share-based payment or appreciation right, expected volatility of the price of the Group’s shares and expected dividend yield.

 

c)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, 2020, the outstanding number of Company reserved under the plans were 4,096,401 (December 31, 2019 - 4,112,046) including 1,906,024 RSUs (December 31, 2019 - 1,921,669) and 2,190,377 PSUs (December 31, 2019 - 2,190,377).

 

For the period ended March 31, 2020, total compensation expense of both plans were R$28,408, including R$5,187 of tax provisions and does not include any tax benefits on total share-based compensation expense once, this expense is not deductible for tax purposes. The tax benefits will be perceived when the shares are converted into common shares.

 

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSU and PSU shares was US$27 and US$ 34,56 respectively.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2020, there were 15,645 forfeited RSUs and no shares granted, exercised, expired or vested.

22.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. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no financial instruments classified as level 3.

 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

 

Financial assets (other than derivatives) - The fair value of securities is determined by reference to their closing prices on the date of presentation of the consolidated financial statements. If there is no market price, fair value is 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 based on the present value of the principal and future cash flows, discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date the financial statements are presented.

 

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:

23.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 operating 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, 2019. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year-end.

 

24.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 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.

a)Minimum capital requirements

 

Although capital is managed considering the consolidated position, certain subsidiaries are subject to minimum capital requirement from local regulators.

 

The subsidiary XP CCTVM, leader of the Prudential Conglomerate, under BACEN regulation regime, is required to maintain a minimum capital and follow aspects from the Basel Accord, with the current strategy of maintaining its capital 1% above the minimum capital requirement.

 

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”) and Venture Capital Liquidity (“CR”), CMR is equivalent to the highest value between base capital and venture capital.

 

At March 31, 2020 the subsidiaries XP CCTVM and XP Vida e Previdência were in compliance with all capital requirements.

 

There is no requirement for compliance with a minimum capital for the other Group companies.

 

b)Financial covenants

 

In relation to the long-term debt contracts, including multilateral instruments, recorded within “Borrowing and lease liabilities” and “Debentures” (Notes 9 and 10), the Group is required to comply with certain performance conditions, such as profitability and efficiency indexes.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the amount of contracts under financial covenants is R$ 1,219,853 (December 31, 2019 – R$ 1,217,308). The Group has complied with these covenants throughout the reporting period.

 

Eventual failure of the Group to comply with such covenants may be considered as breach of contract and, as a result, considered for early settlement of related obligations.
