Revenue Performance Driven by Financial Instruments

XP's total revenue and income reached R$4,455,452 thousand in Q2 2025, a 5.6% increase from R$4,219,258 thousand in Q2 2024. This growth was primarily fueled by net income from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which saw a significant increase to R$3,514,849 thousand in Q2 2025 from R$2,515,057 thousand in Q2 2024. This segment’s strong performance underscores the effectiveness of XP's trading and investment strategies.

Strategic Share Repurchase Initiatives

XP continued its strategic share repurchase programs aimed at neutralizing future shareholder dilution. In May 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new program to repurchase up to R$1.0 billion of Class A common shares, extending through December 31, 2026. This ongoing commitment highlights management's focus on shareholder value and capital management.

Operational Efficiency and Cost Management

Operating costs increased to R$1,319,444 thousand in Q2 2025 from R$1,236,406 thousand in Q2 2024, a 6.7% rise. Administrative expenses also saw an increase to R$1,572,443 thousand in Q2 2025 from R$1,455,952 thousand in Q2 2024. Despite these increases, the company's ability to grow net income faster than revenue suggests improvements in overall operational efficiency and effective cost management strategies.
