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. and its subsidiaries ("Company") as at June 30, 2023 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the quarter and six-month period then ended, and the interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes.

 

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

 

Scope of review

 

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

 

Conclusion

 

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

Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

As of June 30, 2023

In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

 

1.Operations

 

XP Inc. (the “Company”) is a Cayman Island exempted company with limited liability, incorporated on August 29, 2019. The registered office of the Company is 20, Genesis Close, in George Town, Grand Cayman.

 

XP Inc. is currently the entity which is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The common shares are trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ-GS”) under the symbol “XP”.

 

XP Inc. is a holding company controlled by XP Control LLC, which holds 67.43% of voting rights and is controlled by a group of individuals.

 

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Group” or “XP Group”) is a leading, technology-driven financial services platform and a trusted provider of low-fee financial products and services in Brazil. XP Group are principally engaged in providing its customers, represented by individuals and legal entities in Brazil and abroad, various financial products, services, digital content and financial advisory services, mainly acting as broker-dealer, including securities brokerage, private pension plans, commercial and investment banking products such as loan operations, transactions in the foreign exchange markets and deposits, through our brands that reach clients directly and through network of Independent Financial Advisers (“IFAs”).

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, were approved by the Board of Director’s meeting on August 11, 2023.

 

1.1Share buy-back program

 

In May 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share buy-back program. Under the program, XP may repurchase up to the amount in dollars equivalent to R$1.0 billion of its outstanding Class A common shares over a period beginning on May 12, 2022, continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or May 12, 2023, depending upon market conditions.

 

On November 04, 2022, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the share buy-back program. Under the amended program, XP Inc may repurchase up to the amount in dollars equivalent to R$2.0 billion of its outstanding Class A common shares (therefore, an increase of the maximum amount of R$1.0 billion compared to the original program). The program period has not been amended, continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or May 12, 2023, depending upon market conditions.

 

The repurchase limit of R$2.0 billion has been reached on March 31, 2023, and, therefore, the share buy-back program has terminated. At the end of the share buy-back program, the company repurchased 25,037,192 shares (equivalent to R$ 2,059 million or US$ 394 million), which were acquired at an average price of US$ 15.76 per share, with prices ranging from US$ 10.69 to US$ 24.85.

On June 8, 2022, XP signed a share purchase agreement with Itaú Unibanco. Under this agreement, XP purchased 1,056,308 outstanding Class B common shares from Itaú Unibanco, equivalent to approximately US$24 million (R$ 117 million), or US$22.65 per share – the same price for which Itaú Unibanco sold 6,783,939 Class A shares on June 7, 2022, to third parties.

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

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022. The list of notes that were not presented in this unaudited interim condensed is described below:

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. Certain reclassifications or prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

 

b)New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

Those amendments or standards apply for the first time in 2023, but do not have a material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group:

 

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts: The group evaluated the impacts of applying this standard and concluded that it is not material to its current operations.

 

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements: Requires that only information about material accounting policies are disclosed, eliminating disclosures of information that duplicate or summarize IFRS requirements.

 

Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors – Includes the definition of accounting estimates: monetary amounts subject to uncertainties in their measurement.

 

Amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes: Clarifies that the exemption for accounting for deferred taxes arising from temporary differences generated in the initial recognition of assets or liabilities is not applicable to lease operations.

Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

As of June 30, 2023

In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

 

(i)Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of income and of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

 

(ii)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.

 

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

 

Unrealized 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. Unrealized 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.

 

(iii)Interests in associates and joint ventures measured at fair value

 

The Group has investments in associates measured at fair value in accordance with item 18 of IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. These investments are held through XP FIP Managers and XP FIP Endor, which are venture capital organizations. In determining whether the fund meets the definition of a venture capital organization, management considered the investment portfolio features and objectives. The portfolio classified in this category has the objective to generate growth in the value of its investments in the medium term and have an exit strategy. Additionally, the performance of these portfolios is evaluated and managed considering a fair value basis of each investment.

 

d)Business combinations and other developments

 

a)Business combinations

 

(i)Habitat

 

On February 25, 2022, we entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the total capital of Habitat Capital Partners Asset Management, a manager focused on real estate funds. The asset was created with a focus on real estate operations outside the major Brazilian centers and with a strategy of monitoring the entire process in-house, from securitization to control of collection processes. The closing occurred in May 2022, and the acquisition is not considered material for XP Inc. interim consolidated financial statements. The total consideration is R$65,353, out of which: i) R$52,416 paid in cash and ii) R$12,937 as a fair value of the contingent consideration. The purchase price was mostly allocated to goodwill (R$ 60,037 – see Note 12), representing the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition.

 

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

(ii) BTR Benefícios e Seguros

 

On August 15, 2022, the Group exercised its call options over the equity of BTR Benefícios e Seguros (“BTR”) which allowed the Group to acquire up to 100% of the total share of the company. This acquisition will allow the Group to further strengthen its operations on the Health and Benefits front, with a focus on corporate customers. The management of health plans today is a priority topic on the corporate market agenda as it represents, in Brazil, one of the largest costs to most companies. The closing occurred on October 03, 2022, and the total consideration paid, in cash, was R$1,254. This acquisition is not considered material for XP Inc. consolidated financial statements.

 

b)Other developments

 

(i) SPAC Transactions

 

On April 25, 2022, XPAC Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by the Group (“XPAC”), entered into a business combination agreement with SuperBac, a Brazilian biotechnology company.

 

On May 2, 2023, SuperBac informed XPAC that it had decided to terminate the Business Combination Agreement, due to adverse market conditions, among other factors. Following the termination of the proposed business combination with SuperBac, the board of directors of XPAC determined that it is in the best interests of XPAC and its shareholders to accelerate the liquidation date of XPAC.

 

Following the announcement about the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and the intention of early liquidation, XPAC’s management was approached by professional investors interested in acquiring and taking control of XPAC. On July 10, 2023, XPAC Acquisition Corp. entered into a Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, XPAC Sponsor LLC has transferred control of XPAC Acquisition Corp., by selling 4,400,283 Class B ordinary shares and 4,261,485 private placement warrants to acquire 4,261,485 Class A ordinary shares of XPAC held by the Sponsor, for a total purchase price of $250,000. As a condition to the consummation of the Sponsor Handover, new members of XPAC’s board of directors and a new management team for XPAC were appointed by the existing Board, and the existing Board members and the existing management team have resigned. Furthermore, the name of XPAC Acquisition Corp. was changed to Zalatoris II Acquisition Corp.

 

The Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement was approved by the XPAC’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on July 27, 2023.

 

(ii) Share purchase agreement signed with Banco Modal S.A

 

On January 6, 2022, the Group entered into a binding agreement to acquire up to 100% of the total share of Banco Modal, through Banco XP, which would be paid with up to 19.5 million newly issued XP Inc. Class A shares or Brazilian Depository Receipts (BDR), implying a premium of 35% over Banco Modal’s last thirty days average price. The companies share the common goal of exceeding clients’ expectations and democratizing access to high quality and low-cost financial products and services.

 

The transaction was approved by Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in July 2022 and by Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) in June 2023. The closing occurred on July 1, 2023, the date on which the Group obtained control of Banco Modal S.A. In the same date, Banco XP paid the former shareholders of Banco Modal with 18.7 million XP Inc BDRs. This amount reflects the initial amount of 19.5 million BDRs adjusted for the interest on equity amount of R$ 82,052, distributed by Banco Modal since the signing of the binding agreement until the closing date of the transaction.

 

e)Segment reporting

 

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 and joint ventures. Disaggregated information is only reviewed at the revenue level (Note 21), 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.

 

See Note 21 (c) for a breakdown of total revenue and income and selected assets by geographic location.

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 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

6.Hedge accounting

 

The Group has three types of hedge relationships: hedge of net investment in foreign operations; fair value hedge and cash flow 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;

 

·Stock Grant Charges: Risk of volatility in XP Inc stock prices, listed on NASDAQ.

 

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

 

The objective of 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.

b)Fair value hedge

 

The Group’s fair value strategy consists of hedging the exposure to variation in fair value on the receipt, payment of interests and exchange variation on assets and liabilities. The group applies fair value hedges as follows:

 

·Hedging the exposure of fixed-income securities carried out through structured notes. 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.

 

·Hedging to protect the change in the fair value of the exchange and interest rate risk of the component of future cash flows arising from the XP Inc bond issued (financial liability) recognized in the balance sheet of XP Inc in July 2021 by contracting derivatives.

 

·Hedging the exposure of fixed-income securities carried out through sovereign and corporate bonds issued in local or foreign currencies, mainly US Dollars. The market risk hedge strategy involves avoiding temporary fluctuations in statements of income arising from changes in the interest rate market. Once this risk is offset, the Group seeks to index the portfolio to the CDI, through the use of derivatives.

c)Cash flow hedge

 

In March 2022, XP Inc recorded a new hedge structure, in order to neutralize the impacts of XP share price variation on highly probable labor tax payments related to share-based compensation plans using SWAP-TRS contracts. The transaction has been elected for hedge accounting and classified as cash flow hedge in accordance with IFRS 9. Labor tax payments are due upon delivery of shares to employees under share-based compensation plans and are directly related to share price at that time.

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, a 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, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, there were no indicators of a potential impairment of goodwill.

b)Income tax expense reconciliation

 

The tax on the Group’s pre-tax profit differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities. The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period, calculated by applying the combined Brazilian statutory rates at 34% for the six and three months period ended June 30:

 

  Six months period   Three months period

(a)Considering that XP Inc. is domiciled in Cayman and there is no income tax in that jurisdiction, the combined tax rate of 34% demonstrated above is the current rate applied to XP Investimentos S.A. which is the holding company of all operating entities of XP Inc. in Brazil.

 

(b)Certain eligible subsidiaries adopted the PPM tax regime and the effect of the presumed profit of subsidiaries represents the difference between the taxation based on this method and the amount that would be due based on the statutory rate applied to the taxable profit of the subsidiaries. Additionally, some entities and investment funds adopt different taxation regimes according to the applicable rules in their jurisdictions.

18.Equity

 

(a)Issued capital

 

The Company has an authorized share capital of US$ 35 thousand, corresponding to 3,500,000,000 authorized shares with a par value of US$ 0,00001 each of which:

 

·2,000,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common shares and issued; and

 

·1,000,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common shares and issued.

 

The remaining 500,000,000 authorized but unissued shares are presently undesignated and may be issued by our board of directors as common shares of any class or as shares with preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions. Therefore, the Company is authorized to increase capital up to this limit, subject to approval of the Board of Directors.

 

On January 10, 2022, XP Inc issued 445,328 Class A common shares (R$ 70,030) as part of our acquisition of a minority stake of Vista Capital (non-cash transaction). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had R$24 of issued capital which were represented by 416,549,823 Class A common shares and 112,717,094 Class B common shares.

 

(b)Additional paid-in capital and capital reserve

 

Class A and Class B common shares, have the following rights:

 

·Each holder of a Class B common share is entitled, in respect of such share, to 10 votes per share, whereas the holder of a Class A common share is entitled, in respect of such share, to one vote per share.

 

·Each holder of Class A common shares and Class B common shares vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as provided below and as otherwise required by law.

 

·Class consents from the holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares, as applicable, shall be required for any modifications to the rights attached to their respective class of shares the rights conferred on holders of Class A common shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Class B common shares and vice versa; and

 

·the rights attaching to the Class A common shares and the Class B common shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights, including, without limitation, shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

 

The Articles of Association provide that at any time when there are Class A common shares in issue, Class B common shares may only be issued pursuant to: (a) a share split, subdivision of shares or similar transaction or where a dividend or other distribution is paid by the issue of shares or rights to acquire shares or following capitalization of profits; (b) a merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving the issuance of Class B common shares as full or partial consideration; or (c) an issuance of Class A common shares, whereby holders of the Class B common shares are entitled to purchase a number of Class B common shares that would allow them to maintain their proportional ownership and voting interests in XP Inc.

 

The Board of Directors approved in December 2019 a share based long-term incentive plan, which the maximum number of shares should not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding number of shares reserved under the plans were 15,486,341 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (December 31, 2022- 13,684,424) and 1,859,451 performance stock units (“PSUs”) (December 31, 2022 – 2,527,242) to be issued at the vesting date.

 

The additional paid-in capital refers to the difference between the purchase price that the shareholders pay for the shares and their par value. Under Cayman Law, the amount in this type of account may be applied by the Company to pay distributions or dividends to members, pay up unissued shares to be issued as fully paid, for redemptions and repurchases of own shares, for writing off preliminary expenses, recognized expenses, commissions or for other reasons. All distributions are subject to the Cayman Solvency Test which addresses the Company’s ability to pay debts as they fall due in the natural course of business.

25.Share-based plan

 

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.

 

Set out below are summaries of XP Inc's Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) and Performance Stock Units (“PSU”) activity for the six months period ended June 30, 2023.

 

    RSUs   PSUs   Total
(In thousands, except weighted-average data, and where otherwise stated)   Number of units   Number of units   Number of units
             
Outstanding, January 1   13,684,424   2,527,242    16,211,666

Outstanding, June 30    15,486,341    1,859,451    17,345,792

 

For the six and three months period ended June 30, 2023, total compensation expense of both plans was, respectively, R$ 208,816 and R$ 140,404 (2022 - R$ 425,651 and R$ 261,967), including R$ 55,593 and R$ 26,331 (2022 - R$ 100,210 and R$ 91,162) 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 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 recognized 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 have not been modified.

26.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 by applying the treasury stock method. The shares in the share-based plan are the only shares with potential dilutive effect.

 

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

 

  Six months period ended June 30,   Three months period ended June 30,
  2023  2022    2023  2022

27.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 an 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 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.

 

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 is estimated by applying the income approach and discounting the expected future payments to selling shareholders under the terms of the purchase and sale agreements.

 

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

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the total contingent consideration liability is reported at fair value and is dependent on the profitability of the acquired associate and businesses. The total contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration liability represents the maximum amount payable under the purchase and sale agreements discounted using a weighted average rate of 11.10% p.a. A change in the discount rate by 100 bps would increase/decrease the fair value by R$ 6,994. The change in the fair value in the contingent consideration between the acquisition date and June 30, 2023, was not material.

 

The investments held through our investees which are considered to be venture capital investments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The inputs used by the Group are derived for discounted rates for these investments using a capital asset model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. Change in the discount rate by 100 bps would increase/decrease the fair value by R$ 14,784.

 

Transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels are analyzed at the end of each consolidated financial statement. As of June 30, 2023, the Group had no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.

 

28.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.

 

 

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries

Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

As of June 30, 2023

In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

 

 

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, 2022. 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.

29.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 based on 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 balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalent (including cash, Securities purchased under agreements to resell and certificate deposits as shown in the statement of cash flows). The gearing ratio corresponds to the net debt expressed as a percentage of total capital.

 

The net debt and corresponding gearing ratios as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

 

    June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022
Group debt (Note 30)              6,312,553   8,175,437
Structured financing (Note 15 (b))              2,321,050   1,933,522
