SÃO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- XP Inc. (Nasdaq: XP), a leading, technology-driven platform and a trusted provider of low-fee financial products and services in Brazil, announced today its 3Q22 KPIs. The Portuguese version of this release can be accessed in the Press Release section on the IR website.

Disclaimer: Corporate Clients

From this quarter onwards, XP Inc. will report Client Assets, Net Inflow, Credit Portfolio and Gross Revenue for the Corporate client segment (previously part of Retail), which encompasses companies with annual revenues over R$700 million. Retail, therefore, encompasses all individuals as well as companies below the stated revenue threshold.

Such change follows the recent growth of Corporate, which reached nearly R$230 million gross revenue in 1H22, a 240% increase over 1H21. Representing roughly 3% of total revenues, the segment has great potential and strategical value for XP, being a key component of the overall companies’ revenue pool of more than R$320 billion (2021). Additionally, given its nature, more volatile and driven by large transactions, we believe that segregating it from Retail eases comprehension of each client profile.

The non-GAAP financial information is presented for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the IFRS financial statements.
