XP Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

 

São Paulo, Brazil, February 27, 2024 – 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.

CEO, XP Inc.

Discussion of Results

 

Total Gross Revenue

 

Gross Revenue was R$4.3 billion in 4Q23, down 1% QoQ and up 29% YoY, primarily driven by growth in our Retail revenue year-over-year. In 2023, Gross Revenue totaled R$15.7 billion, up 12% YoY, also led by Retail.

 

Retail Revenue

 

(in R$ mn) 4Q23 4Q22 YoY 3Q23 QoQ   2023 2022 YoY

Retail revenue was R$3.2 billion in 4Q23, down 1% QoQ and up 29% YoY.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It will not be responsible to you for providing protections afforded to clients or for advising you on the relevant transaction.

 

This release includes our Float, Adjusted Gross Financial Assets, Net Asset Value, and Adjustments to Reported Net Income, which are 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).

 

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.

The Company’s internal estimates have not been verified by an external expert, and the Company cannot guarantee that a third party using different methods to assemble, analyze or compute market information and data would obtain or generate the same results . Statements in the presentation, including those regarding the possible or assumed future or other performance of the Company or its industry or other trend projections, constitute forward - looking statements . 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 ) the negative impacts of the COVID - 19 pandemic on global, regional and national economies and the related market volatility and protracted economic downturn ; and ( 18 ) other factors that may affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations . Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements . The forward - looking statements included herein speak only as at the date of this presentation and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update these forward - looking statements . Past performance does not guarantee or predict future performance . 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 presentation . 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 presentation 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 presentation 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 presentation also includes certain 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 presentation . For purposes of this presentation : “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, including equities, fixed income securities, mutual funds (including those managed by XP Gestão de Recursos Ltda . , XP Advisory Gestão 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 (Floating Balances), among others .
