Key Terms
annualized retail take ratefinancial
The annualized retail take rate is the percentage of retail sales value that a marketplace or retail platform keeps as revenue (fees, commissions, or services) expressed on a yearly basis. Think of it as the slice of every dollar of merchandise sold through the platform that the platform pockets over a year; it matters to investors because it shows how efficiently a platform converts gross sales into recurring revenue and how changes in pricing or seller mix affect revenue growth.
adjusted roaefinancial
Adjusted ROAE is a profitability metric that shows how much profit a company generates for its shareholders relative to average equity, after removing or revising one-time items, unusual charges or accounting quirks so the number reflects recurring performance. Investors use it to compare how efficiently management turns owners’ capital into earnings, like measuring a car’s fuel efficiency after taking out temporary baggage to see normal performance.
bis ratioregulatory
The BIS ratio is a measure of a bank’s financial cushion, calculated by comparing the bank’s capital to the size and risk of its assets as defined by international banking standards. It tells investors how well a bank can absorb losses and stay solvent—think of it as the thickness of an airbag relative to the size of a car: the bigger the cushion, the safer the ride. Regulators use it to judge stability and permission to grow lending.
cet1 ratioregulatory
CET1 ratio measures a bank’s core equity capital (the most loss-absorbing funds like common stock and retained earnings) relative to the size of its risk-adjusted assets. It shows how big the bank’s financial cushion is compared with what it has on its books; a higher ratio means greater ability to absorb losses, lower regulatory risk, and generally more investor confidence in the bank’s stability.
gross written premiumsfinancial
Gross written premiums are the total amount of money an insurance company charges for all the policies it sells during a specific period, before subtracting any costs or claims. It’s like the total sales a store makes from all its products before deducting expenses. This figure shows how much business the insurer is taking on and helps gauge its size and growth.

Discussion of Financial Results
Gross revenue reachedR$5.1 billionin 2Q26, reflecting an increase of 8%
year-over-year and 3%
higher quarter-over-quarter.
The year-over-year growth was driven by equities, funds platform, 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$3,881 million in 2Q26, representing a 3%
increase quarter-over-quarter and a 8%
increase year-over-year.
Both equities and funds platform — two of our most important revenue lines — grew at double digit pace when compared to the same period of last year. However, this was partially offset by the MtM impact in fixed income, which brought overall retail revenue growth to 8%
. Retail Revenue performance also benefited from strong contributions from banking, float and new verticals, which are reported in the Other Retail line and gained representativeness during the quarter.
Annualized Retail Take Rate was 1.20%
in 2Q26, 2bps higher QoQ and 5bps lower YoY.
Since last quarter we have included our Institutional business in the Wholesale segment. Taken together, Corporate, Issuer Services and Institutional grew 32%
year-over-year, with revenues totaling R$1,175 million
in 2Q26.
The YoY performance was driven by a robust Corporate activity, with revenues reaching R$606 million
, a 117%
increase YoY. We continue to serve our clients with solutions in credit, derivatives, foreign exchange, and trading, sustaining the robust revenue growth of this segment.
Accompanying the final phase of our restructuring, the Other revenue line has become less relevant over the years and ceased to exist last quarter, being incorporated in the net interest margin across our business lines.
Costs of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
Gross Margin was 68.6%
in 2Q26 versus 67.2%
in 1Q26 and 68.7%
in 2Q25.
SG&A expenses totaled R$1.6 billion in 2Q26, 2% higher QoQ, and 5% higher YoY.
Our last twelve months (LTM) compensation ratio4in 2Q26 was 23.2%. Also, our LTM efficiency ratio5reached 34.3% in 2Q26.
|
4 – Compensation ratio is calculated as People SG&A (Salary and Taxes, Bonuses and Share Based Compensation) divided by Net Revenue. |
|
5 – Efficiency ratio is calculated as SG&A ex-revenue from incentives from Tesouro Direto, B3, and others divided by Net Revenue. |
EBT was R$1,565 million
in 2Q26, growing 10%
QoQ and up 15%
YoY. The EBT margin was 32.0%
, 209 bps up quarter-over-quarter and 172 bps up YoY.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS1
In 2Q26, Adjusted Net Income reached R$1.4 billion, up 5%
both quarter over quarter and year over year. Adjusted Basic EPS was R$2.71
, 7%
higher QoQ and 8%
up YoY. Adjusted Diluted EPS wasR$2.67
for the quarter, 7%
up QoQ and 9%
higher YoY.
Adjusted ROTE1,6 and Adjusted ROAE1,7
In 2Q26 our Adjusted Return on Equity (ROAE) reached 22.5%, while return on tangible equity (ROTE) was 27.2%. Both metrics were up this quarter as we posted a slightly lower BIS ratio.
In 2Q26 our BIS Ratio was 20.3%, 39 bps lower QoQ and 15 bps higher YoY, while our total RWA was R$126.6 billion, with a 4%
increase QoQ and 26%
increase YoY. Our CET1 ratio remains at a comfortable level of 17.1%. During the first half of the year, we continued executing share repurchases, totaling approximatelyR$1 billion
. With that, we closed the previous buyback program, but we still have another open program of R$1 billion
, which we continue to execute strategically. We are comfortable bringing our BIS ratio to our target range of 16%
to 19%
toward the end of the year through capital distributions, while still maintaining a comfortable capital buffer.

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.

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 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.
“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).
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.
