Independent Auditors' Report

Independent Auditors’ report on review of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

To Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Cayman Islands

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Nu Holdings Ltd. (“Company”) as at June 30, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income or loss for the three and six-month periods then ended, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade 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 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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

1. OPERATIONS

Nu Holdings Ltd. ("Company" or "Nu Holdings") was incorporated as an exempted Company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on February 26, 2016. The address of the Company's registered office is Willow House, 4th floor, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman - Cayman Islands. Nu Holdings has no operating activities with clients.

The Company’s shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “NU” and its Brazilian Depositary Receipts ("BDRs") are traded on B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3"), the Brazilian stock exchange, under the symbol "NUBR33". The Company holds investments in several operating entities and, as of June 30, 2023, its significant operating subsidiaries were:

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the “Group” or "Nu”.

The business plan of Nu provides for the continued growth of its Brazilian, Mexican, and Colombian operations, not only related to existing businesses, such as credit cards, personal loans, investments, and insurance, but also complemented by the launch of new products. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption of the Group continuing as a going concern.

The business is affected by customer behavior throughout the year and demonstrates seasonality effects. Historically, the Group benefited from a higher volume of transactions and related revenue in the fourth quarter of the year due to the holiday season. However, the growth has masked this seasonality in the past, and this may become more pronounced in the future.

The Company’s Board authorized the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on August 15, 2023.

a) Level III BDR Program discontinuation

On June 28, 2023 the CVM Collegiate approved the plan for the discontinuance of the Company's Level III BDRs Program and the cancellation of the Company's registration with the CVM as a foreign public issuer of category "A" securities. The plan provides that the current holders of the BDRs must decide during a 30-day period, from July 13, 2023 to August 11, 2023 ("Choice Period"), between: (i) remaining as the Company’s shareholder through the receipt of class A ordinary shares traded on the NYSE; (ii) remaining as holders of the Company's BDRs through the receipt of Unsponsored Level I BDRs; or (iii) if no declaration is made, the Company will sell the underlying shares on NYSE and former holders will receive the equivalent amount.

b) Nucoin

In February 2023, Nu initiated the distribution of Nucoin, which is the native crypto token issued from Nu that enables the loyalty network ("Nucoin Network") between Nu and its customers. Over time, Nu aims to have other sponsoring companies (“Sponsors”) that commit to use Nucoin as their loyalty program. These Sponsors will be entitled to a certain number of Nucoins to distribute to their customers, and will be required to offer benefits to Nucoins’ holders to incentivize the network adoption and increase the overall utility to the community.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). However, selected condensed explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the issuance of its last annual financial statements.

The Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual Financial Statements”).

a) Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The presentation of the functional currency and foreign currency translation disclosed in note 2a. of the Annual Financial Statements remain valid for these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The functional currency for Nu Holdings and the presentation currency of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements is the U.S. Dollars (“US$”). The functional currency of the Brazilian operating entities is the Brazilian real, for the Mexican entities, Mexican peso and for the Colombian entity, the Colombian peso.

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries held in functional currencies that are not US$ are translated into US$, and the exchange differences arising from the translation to US$ of the financial statements denominated in functional currencies other than the US$ are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss (OCI) as an item that may be reclassified to profit or loss within “currency translation on foreign entities”.

b) New or revised accounting pronouncements adopted in 2023

The following new or revised standards have been issued by IASB, were effective for the period covered by these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and had no significant impact.

c) Other new standards and interpretations not yet effective

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

Management does not expect the adoption of the amendments described above to have a significant impact, other than additional disclosures, on the consolidated financial statements.

3. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounting balances of Nu Holdings and all those subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control, directly or indirectly. Control is achieved where the Company has (i) power over the investee; (ii) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) can use its power to affect its profits.

The Company re-assesses whether it maintains control of an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three above mentioned elements of control.

The consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over it and ceases when the Company loses control over it. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the reporting period are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

The financial information of the subsidiaries was prepared in the same period as the Company and consistent accounting policies were applied. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are fully consolidated with those of the Company. Accordingly, all balances, transactions and any unrealized income and expenses arising between consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation, except for foreign-currency gain and losses on translation of intercompany loans. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, when applicable.

The subsidiaries below are the most relevant entities included in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements:

In addition, the Company consolidated the following investment fund for June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in which the Group’s companies hold a substantial interest or the entirety of the interests and are therefore exposed, or have rights, to variable returns and have the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity:

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

Nu Pagamentos, Nu Financeira, Nu DTVM and Nu Invest, Brazilian subsidiaries, are regulated by the Brazilian Central Bank (“BACEN”), Nu México Financiera, S.A. de C.V., S.F.P. ("Nu Financiera"), a Mexican subsidiary, is regulated by both the Mexican Central Bank ("BANXICO") and Mexican National Banking and Stock Commission (“CNBV”) and Nu Colombia, a Colombian subsidiary, is regulated by Industry and Commerce Superintendency, and as such, there are some regulatory requirements that restrict the ability of the Group to access and transfer assets freely to or from these entities within the Group and to settle liabilities of the Group.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and therefore should be read in conjunction.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires judgments, estimates, and assumptions from management that affect the application of accounting policies, and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to the estimates are recognized prospectively.

The significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were the same as those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements.

Credit losses on financial instruments

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on credit cards and loans receivables that represents management’s best estimate of allowance as of each reporting date.

Management performs an analysis of the credit card and loan amounts to determine if credit losses have occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance based on historical and current trends as well as other factors affecting credit losses.

Key areas of judgment

The critical judgments made by management in applying the expected credit losses ("ECL") allowance methodology are:

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

Sensitivity analysis

On June 30, 2023, the probability weighted ECL allowance totaled US$2,032,872 of which US$1,674,271 related to credit card operations and US$358,601 to loans. The ECL allowance is sensitive to the methodology, assumptions and estimations underlying its calculation. One key assumption is the probability weighting of the macroeconomic scenarios between upside, base and downside as the carrying amount of the credit loss allowance is determined based on the weighted average of these scenarios. The table below illustrates the ECL that would have arisen if management had applied a 100% weighting to each macroeconomic scenario.

6. INCOME AND RELATED EXPENSES

a) Interest income and gains (losses) on financial instruments

The interest income presented above from credit card, lending, other assets at amortized cost and other receivables represents interest revenue calculated using the effective interest method.

9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company has instruments that will become common shares upon exercise, acquisition, conversion (SOPs and RSUs described in note 10), or satisfaction of specific business combinations conditions. The effects of the potential antidilutive instruments were calculated using the treasury stock method and they are included in the total weighted average of ordinary outstanding shares for diluted EPS if the effects are considered dilutive. The antidilutive instruments not considered in the weighted number of shares, for the periods presenting negative results, correspond to the total number of shares that could be converted into ordinary shares.

10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share settled awards

The Group’s employee incentives include share settled awards in the form of stock, offering them the opportunity to purchase ordinary shares by exercising options (Stock Options – “SOPs”), receiving ordinary shares (Restricted Stock Units – “RSUs”) upon vesting, and receiving shares upon the achievement of market conditions and passage of time ("Awards").

The cost of the employee services received with respect to the SOPs and RSUs granted is recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the period that the employee provides services and according to the vesting conditions. The Group also issued Awards in 2020 that grant shares upon the achievement of market conditions related to the valuation of the Company, the Awards issued in 2021 were canceled at the end of 2022. RSUs incentive was implemented in 2020 and is the main incentive since then.

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

There were no changes to the terms and conditions of the SOPs and RSUs after the grant date. The changes in the number of SOPs and RSUs are as follows. WAEP is the weighted average exercise price and WAGDFV is the weighted average fair value at the grant date.

The following tables present the total amount of share-based compensation expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the provision for taxes as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

11. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

13. CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES

Composition of receivables

(i) "Receivables - current" is related to purchases, withdrawals, payment slips ("boleto") and PIX (BACEN instant payments) financing made by customers in a single installment and due on the next credit card billing date. Receivables - installments” is related to purchases in installments. Credit card receivables can be paid by our clients in up to 12, 24 and 36 monthly installments in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, respectively. The cardholder’s credit limit is initially reduced by the total amount and the installments become due and payable on the cardholder's subsequent monthly credit card statement. Brazil makes the corresponding payments to the credit card network (see note 22) following a similar schedule. As receipts and payments are aligned, the Group does not incur significant financing costs with this product, however it is exposed to the credit risk of the cardholder as it is obliged to make the payments to the credit card network even if the cardholder does not pay. “Receivables - installments” also includes the amounts of credit card bills not fully paid by the customers and that have been converted into payments in installments with a fixed interest rate ("fatura parcelada"), in addition to bill financing, which comprise bills paid in installments through the credit card, banking payment slips ("boleto") and PIX financing in more than one installment.

(ii) "Receivables - revolving" is related to the amounts due from customers that have not paid in full their credit card bill. Customers may request to convert these receivables into loans to be paid in installments. In accordance with Brazilian regulation, revolving balances that are outstanding for more than 2 months are mandatorily converted into fatura parcelada - a type of installment loan which is settled through the customer’s monthly credit card bills.

a) Breakdown by maturity

Overdue installments consist mainly of revolving balances, and not overdue installments which consist mainly of current receivables and future bill installments ("parcelado").

b) Credit loss allowance - by stages

As of June 30, 2023, the credit card ECL allowance totaled US$1,674,271 (US$1,050,668 as of December 31, 2022). The provision is estimated using modeling techniques, consistently applied, and is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.

The amount that the credit loss allowance represents in comparison to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored, to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases. This metric is considered a key risk indicator and it is monitored across multiple committees, supporting the decision-making process and is discussed in the credit forums.

All receivables are classified through stages, where: (i) stage 1 include all receivables not classified in stages 2 and 3; (ii) stage 2 is primarily related to all receivables more than 30 (thirty), but less than 90 (ninety), days in arrears, or with an increase in client's behavior risk score compared to the time of the origination; and (iii) stage 3 when receivables are more than 90 (ninety) days in arrears, or there are indications that the financial asset will not be fully paid without a collateral or financial guarantee.

The majority of the Group's credit card portfolio was classified as stage 1, followed by stages 2 and 3, respectively as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The proportion of stage 3 exposures increased to 7.7% on June 30, 2023 from 6.5% on December 31, 2022. The stage 3 movement is primarily due to credit expansions done in the past which are maturing in the portfolio, as well as increases in early delinquency observed in the previous quarters.

c) Credit loss allowance - by credit quality vs. stages

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

When compared to December 31, 2022, a change in the credit quality distribution is observed, with relative exposure moving to higher PD stages. This movement is explained below in item d) Credit loss allowance - changes. There is still a significant concentration of receivables at stage 1 based on credit quality. Receivables with satisfactory risk are distributed between stages 1 and 2, but primarily stage 1.

Defaulted assets at stage 3 are classified as higher risk. There is also a large proportion of stage 2 exposures classified as higher risk. Stage 1 receivables classified as higher risk are those customers with low credit risk scores.

d) Credit loss allowance - changes

The following tables show the reconciliations from the opening to the closing balance of the credit loss allowance by stages of the financial instruments.

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

(a) Considers all accounts originated from the beginning to the end of the period. ECL effects presented in the table were calculated as if risk parameters at the beginning of the period were applied.

(b) Reflects the movements in exposure of accounts that already existed in the beginning of the period, as increase in credit limits. ECL effects were calculated as if risk parameters of the exposures at the beginning of the period were applied.

(c) Relates to methodology changes that occurred during the period, according to the Group’s processes of model monitoring.

The following tables present changes in the gross carrying amount of the credit card portfolio to demonstrate the effects of the changes in the loss allowance for the same portfolio as presented above. “Net change of gross carrying amount” includes acquisitions, payments, and interest accruals.

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

b) Credit loss allowance - by stages

As of June 30, 2023, the loans to customers ECL allowance totaled US$358,601 (US$300,223 as of December 31, 2022). The provision is estimated using modeling techniques, consistently applied, which is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.

The amount that the credit loss allowance represents in comparison to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored, to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases. This metric is considered a key risk indicator and it is monitored across multiple committees, supporting the decision-making process and is discussed in the credit forums.

All receivables are classified through stages. The explanation of each stage is set out in the Company’s accounting policies, as disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

The majority of the Group's loans to customers’ portfolio was classified as stage 1, followed by stages 2 and 3, respectively as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The proportion of stage 1 exposures remained stable, at 76.4% on June 30, 2023 compared to 77.0% on December 31, 2022. The stage 1 coverage ratio movement is primarily due to the growth of the portfolio due to origination into lower risk segments.

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

c) Credit loss allowance - by credit quality vs stages

Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month periods ended june 30, 2023

Most of the credit quality of this portfolio is classified as strong, followed by satisfactory and higher risk loans. Receivables with satisfactory and strong risk have a high distribution of stage 1. As of June 30, 2023, the total gross carrying amount of the portfolio increased by 41.3%, or US$815,319, in comparison to December 31, 2022.

d) Credit loss allowance - changes

The following tables show reconciliations from the opening to the closing balance of the provision for credit losses by the stages of the financial instruments. The explanation of each stage and the basis for determining transfers due to changes in credit risk is set out in the Company’s accounting policies, as disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.
