XP Inc. (NASDAQ: XP) (“XP” or the “Company”), a leading
tech-enabled platform and a trusted pioneer in providing low-fee
financial products and services in Brazil, reported today its
financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023.
To our shareholders
As we reflect on the journey of 2023, it's evident that the year
was both challenging and transformative for XP Inc. In an
environment marked by ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and the
evolving needs of our clients, we kept our commitment to
innovation, quality, and growth. This year was a demonstration of
our resilience, agility, and the enduring strength of our business
model.
Business Model
Resilience
Despite the still challenging macroeconomic environment
mentioned beforehand, 2023 was a year of significant achievements
that continued to prove the resilience of our business model. On
the second quarter of 2023, we were happy to celebrate the
monumental milestone of surpassing R$1 trillion in Client Assets, a
clear indicator of our growing market presence and the trust our
clients place on us. This achievement underscores our position as a
leader in the Brazilian financial services industry and highlights
our potential for further growth, given our market share of less
than 12% in investments for individuals.
Our resilience was further demonstrated through our financial
performance. Despite the macroeconomic headwinds, we reported
record quarterly revenues and profitability, showcasing our ability
to capitalize on market opportunities and maintain cost discipline.
Our Earnings Before Tax (EBT) and Net Income saw year-over-year
growth, reflecting our operational efficiency and the successful
execution of our strategic initiatives.
Execution of Strategic
Initiatives
Throughout the year, we continued to focus on our three key
strategic pillars: 1. Leadership in investments, 2. Enhancement of
our ability to cross-sell superior products and 3. Wholesale
synergies. Central to these pillars is our commitment to a culture
of quality – our third wave of differentiation. Also, during
the year, we had the acquisition and subsequent integration of
Banco Modal, which marked a significant step in our journey,
expanding our capabilities and enhancing our product suite. This
integration is almost complete by now, delivering revenue synergies
and cost efficiencies.
Our New Verticals and Corporate & SMB initiatives continued
to thrive, contributing significantly to our revenue
diversification efforts, already contributing to more than 17% of
our total gross revenue for the year, if we consider all the New
Verticals, as we did on our Investor Day – including Retirement
Plans, Cards, Credit, Insurance, FX, Global Investments and Digital
Account. The recognition of our credit card as the Best in Brazil,
recognized by Melhores Cartões, is evidence of our commitment to
offer superior products and services.
Also, 2023 was marked by a strong focus on efficiency and cost
discipline throughout the whole company, as we achieved an
Efficiency Ratio of 36.3%, the lowest level since our IPO.
Distribution Channels
Evolution
In our efforts to expand and diversify, we have positioned
ourselves as a hub for entrepreneurs, consistently pioneering in
our distribution channel efforts. Our strategy encompasses a broad
spectrum of distribution channels, including B2B, B2C, wealth
managers, broker as a service, and consultants, enabling us to
reach a diverse client base and cater to their unique needs. This
diversification allows us to be at the forefront of the financial
services industry, adapting to changes and seizing opportunities
with agility and foresight.
Democratizing Access to Premium Quality
Services
A cornerstone of our mission this year has been to focus more on
the quality of what we offer to our clients. We are dedicated to
democratizing access to premium services which were previously
available only to private clients. By extending these high-quality
offerings to affluent clients, we are breaking down barriers and
creating a more inclusive financial ecosystem with scalability.
This initiative mirrors our past successes in making top-tier
investment products accessible to a broader audience, underscoring
our commitment to excellence in financial services.
Investing in Our People and
Culture
Our success is linked to the dedication and talent of our team.
In 2023, we focused on nurturing our culture of excellence and
innovation. We made significant strides in expanding and empowering
our network of Financial Advisors. Our commitment to providing our
advisors with the best tools and technology has not only enhanced
our service quality but also reinforced XP Inc. as the premier
platform for financial advisors in Brazil.
While we are proud of our accomplishments, we acknowledge that
there is still much to be done. Our efforts to increase penetration
and provide the best banking experience to our clients and advisors
continue to be a top priority. We are committed to enhancing our
offerings and services to meet and exceed the expectations of those
we serve.
Looking Forward
As we look to the future, we remain optimistic about our growth
trajectory and the opportunities that lie ahead. While we recognize
that there may be a delay for retail investors to shift their
behavior in a more favorable market environment, we are confident
that this positive cycle will come eventually. In the meantime, we
will maintain our cost discipline and stay focused on delivering
the quality and service excellence that our clients expect from
us.
The initiation of the monetary easing cycle by the Central Bank
and the improving market conditions are positive signals for our
core investments business. We remain committed to driving our
Return on Equity (ROE) growth through strategic earnings expansion
and capital distributions to our shareholders.
In closing, I extend my deepest gratitude to our clients,
executive partners, team members, and you, our shareholders, for
your continued trust and support. Together, we are not only
navigating the complexities of the present but also shaping a
promising future for XP Inc. and the financial services industry in
Brazil.

Retail revenue was R$3.2 billion in 4Q23, down 1% QoQ and up 29%
YoY. Sequential Retail revenue was impacted by a positive
seasonality in Cards revenue, which increased 18% QoQ, partially
offset by sequential decline in the quarter in Fixed Income
revenue, and lack of Expert event related revenue in the
quarter.
In 2023, Retail revenue totaled R$11.8 billion, up 16% YoY.
Annual growth was mainly led by:
1) Other Retail Revenue, especially due to
Float and Digital Account revenue; 2) Fixed Income, after a strong
recovery in DCM activity in the second semester; and 3) Cards, with
a 69% revenue growth YoY.
Retail-related revenue in 4Q23 represented 76% of consolidated

YoY.
Institutional Revenue Institutional revenue was R$413
million in 4Q23, up 7% QoQ and 16% YoY. For 2023, Institutional
revenue decreased 21% to R$1.5 billion, mainly driven by lower

Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income
Statement. For 2023, Institutional revenue accounted for 8% of
consolidated Net Income from Financial Instruments, as per the

Corporate & Issuer Services Revenue Corporate &
Issuer Services revenue totaled R$508 million in 4Q23, down 2% QoQ
and up 85% YoY, supported by another strong quarter of DCM activity
and also a strong contribution of M&A.
In 2023, Corporate and Issuer Services revenue increased 22% YoY
to R$1.6 billion. Year-over-year growth was led by a strong pick-up
in DCM activity in the second half of the year, and the continuous
expansion of our Corporate franchise.
Corporate and Issuer Services related revenues in 4Q23
represented 7% of consolidated Net Income from Financial
Instruments, as per the Accounting Income Statement. In 2023,

Income from Financial Instruments, as per the Accounting Income

Statement.
Costs of Goods Sold and Gross Margin Gross Margin was
68.1% in 4Q23 versus 70.1% in 3Q23 and 65.1% in 4Q22. Sequential
decrease in gross margin was mainly related to revenue mix between
products and channels in the quarter. In 2023, Gross Margin was
68.0%, a 232bps decrease YoY mainly related to change in revenue
mix between products and channels and relative increase in expected
credit losses due to ongoing growth of our Cards business.

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.

Float, Adjusted Gross Financial Assets and Net Asset Value
(in R$ mn)
We present Adjusted Gross Financial Assets because we believe
this metric captures the liquidity that is, in fact, available to
us, net of the portion of liquidity that is related to our Float
Balance (and therefore attributable to clients). We calculate
Adjusted Gross Financial Assets as the sum of (1) Cash and
Financial Assets (comprised of Cash plus Securities – Fair value
through profit or loss, plus Securities – Fair value through other
comprehensive income, plus Securities – Evaluated at amortized
cost, plus Derivative financial instruments, plus Securities
(purchased under agreements to resell), plus Loans and Foreign
exchange portfolio (assets) less (2) Financial Liabilities
(comprised of the sum of Securities loaned, Derivative financial
instruments, Securities sold under repurchase agreements and
Private pension liabilities), Deposits, Structured Operation
Certificates (COE), Financial Bills, Foreign exchange portfolio
(liabilities), Credit cards operations and (3) less Float
Balance.
It is a measure that we track internally daily, and it more
intuitively reflects the effect of the operational profits we
generate and the variations between working capital assets and
liabilities (cash flows from operating activities), investments in
fixed and intangible assets and investments in the IFA Network
(cash flows from investing activities) and inflows and outflows
related to equity and debt securities in our capital structure
(cash flows from financing activities). Our management treats all
securities and financial instrument assets, net of financial
instrument liabilities, as balances that compose our total
liquidity, with subline items (such as, for example, “securities at
fair value through profit and loss” and “securities at fair value
through other comprehensive income”) expected to fluctuate
substantially from quarter to quarter as our treasury manages and
allocates our total liquidity to the most suitable financial
instruments.
In order to explain how we measure our cash position or
generation internally, we are introducing the Net Asset Value
concept. Since we are a financial institution, we hold several
types of financial instruments with different characteristics,
hence the definition of net cash that makes more sense from a
business perspective is the Net Asset Value. It is basically the
adjusted gross financial assets net of debt instruments.
