COVID-19

Covid-19 has significantly impacted the world economy. Many countries have imposed travel bans on millions of people and, additionally, people in many locations are subject to quarantine measures. Businesses are dealing with lost revenue and disrupted supply chains. Countries have imposed lockdowns in response to the pandemic and, as a result of the disruption to businesses, millions of workers have lost their jobs. The Covid-19 pandemic has also resulted in significant volatility in the financial and commodities markets worldwide. Numerous governments have announced measures to provide both financial and non-financial assistance to the affected entities. During the pandemic, the Group maintained trading platforms and other services available to clients without interruption. XP has played a valuable role on keeping our clients connected to the market and reinforce our mission to our clients.

Based on thorough assessments about the well-being and performance of our workforce, management announced on September 11, 2020, the permanent and company-wide adoption of the home-office model.

The Group has reviewed its exposure to economic-related and market volatility, which could negatively impact the value of a certain class of financial instruments however has not identified relevant impact to the financial performance or position of the group as of March 31, 2021. The Company has sufficient headroom to enable it to comply with its covenants on its existing borrowings and sufficient working capital and undrawn financing facilities to service its operating activities and ongoing investments.

2.	Basis of preparation and changes to the Group's accounting policies

a)	Basis of preparation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and for three months ended March, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The list of notes that were not presented in this unaudited interim condensed is described below:

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements As of March 31, 2021 In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

Note to financial statements of December 31, 2020	Description
3.	Summary of significant accounting policies
4.	Significant estimated and judgements
5.	Group structure
11.	Accounts receivable
12.	Recoverable taxes
24.	Social and Statutory obligations
25.	Tax and social security obligations
29. (a)	Key-person management compensation
38. (b) to (f)	Management of financial risks and financial instruments

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the new accounting policies adopted for the current interim reporting period, see Note 2 (b).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais ('R$'), which is the Group's presentation currency and all amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units unless otherwise stated.

b)	New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR).

The amendments include the following practical expedients:

·	A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest

·	Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued

·	Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component

These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

c)	Basis of consolidation

There were no changes since December 31, 2020 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation of the Company's direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the following items:

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements As of March 31, 2021 In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

(i)	The percentage of participation represents the Group's interest in total capital and voting capital of its subsidiaries.

(ii)	New subsidiaries incorporated in the period. In March 2021, XPAC Sponsor LLC was created as a holding Company which has the objective to be an initial investors of the special purpose acquisitions companies.

(iii) Subsidiaries closed in the period.

d)	Interests in associates and joint ventures

i.	Associates

Associates are companies in which the investor has a significant influence but does not hold control. Investments in these companies are initially recognized at cost of acquisition and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates and joint ventures include the goodwill identified upon acquisition, net of any cumulative impairment loss.

ii.	Joint ventures

The Group has joint venture whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets.

iii.	Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity-accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

If its interest in the associates and joint ventures decreases, but the Group retains significant influence or joint control, only the proportional amount of the previously recognized amounts in Other comprehensive income is reclassified in Income, when appropriate.

e)	Business combinations

During 2020 the Group acquired certain companies as part of our growth strategy and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of each acquisition date were:

** During the measurement period, the preliminary contingent consideration for the acquisitions was adjusted to R$39,032 (R$14,183 previously disclosed) as a result of a fair value adjustment of R$24,849.

For the purchase price allocation, the following intangible assets were identified. The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of separately identified intangible assets acquired were as follows:

Assets		Amount		Method		Expected amortization period
Customer list		2,181		Multi-period excess earning method		5.5 years
Trademark		3,799		Relief from royalty		5 years
Technology		9,876		Relief from royalty		5 years

For the concluded acquisitions, the total consideration paid is R$125,774, being: i) R$62,443 paid in cash, ii) R$21,487 payable in three consecutives annual installments from 2020 to 2022 adjusted by the Interbank Certificates of Deposit ('CDI') rate and iii) R$ 39,032 as a fair value of the contingent consideration.

The goodwill recognized includes the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, which is not separately recognized. The goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income taxes purposes.

In addition, the Company incurred direct costs for the business combinations which were expensed as incurred.

The results of operations of the businesses acquired for periods prior to acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company´s consolidated statements of income and, accordingly, pro forma information has not been presented.

6.	Hedge accounting

The Group has two types of hedge relationships: hedge of net investment in foreign operations and fair value hedge. For hedge accounting purposes, the risk factors measured by the Group are:

·	Interest Rate: Risk of volatility in transactions subject to interest rate variations;

·	Currency: Risk of volatility in transactions subject to foreign exchange variation.

The structure of risk limits is extended to the risk factor level, where specific limits aim at improving the monitoring and understanding processes, as well as avoiding concentration of these risks.

The structures designed for interest rate and exchange rate categories take into account total risk when there are compatible hedging instruments. In certain cases, management may decide to hedge a risk for the risk factor term and limit of the hedging instrument.

a)	Hedge of net investment in foreign operations

In the period ended March 31, 2021, the objective for the Group was to hedge the risk generated by the US$ variation from investments in our subsidiaries in the United States, XP Holdings International and XP Advisors Inc.

The Group has entered into forward contracts to protect against changes in future cash flows and exchange rate variation of net investments in foreign operations known as Non Deliverable Forward ('NDF') contracts.

The Group undertakes risk management through the economic relationship between hedge instruments and hedged items, in which it is expected that these instruments will move in opposite directions, in the same proportions, with the aim of neutralizing the risk factors.

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements As of March 31, 2021 In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

b)	Fair value hedge

The fair value hedging strategy of the Group consists of hedging the exposure of Fixed-Income securities carried out through structured operations certificates.

The market risk hedge strategy involves avoiding temporary fluctuations in earnings arising from changes in the interest rate market in Reais. Once this risk is offset, the Group seeks to index the portfolio to the CDI, through the use of derivatives (DI1 Futuro).

The hedge is contracted in order to neutralize the total exposure to the market risk of the fixed-income funding portfolio, excluding the portion of the fixed-income compensation represented by the credit spread of Banco XP S.A, seeking to obtain the closest match deadlines and volumes as possible.

The effects of hedge accounting on the financial position and performance of the Group are presented below:

The Group offers loan products through Banco XP to its customers. The loan products offered to its customers are fully collaterized by customers' investments on XP platform and credit product strictly related to investments in structured notes, in which the borrower is able to operate leveraged, retaining the structured note itself as guarantee for the loan.

Certain loans operations originated by the collateralized credit have insignificant risk of loss, which results in no loss allowance being recognised in accordance with the Group's expected credit loss model. The carrying amount of such financial assets is R$349,890 at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - R$297,443).

The Group uses client's investments as collaterals to reduce potential losses and protect against credit risk exposure by managing these collaterals so that they are always sufficient, legally enforceable (effective) and viable, the Group monitors the value of the collaterals. The Credit Risk Management provides subsidies to define strategies as risk appetite, to establish limits, including exposure analysis and trends as well as the effectiveness of the credit policy.

On March 1, 2021, Provisional Measure No. 1,034 was published increasing the Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) rate by 5%, to 25% for Banks and 20% for Broker dealers.

The text of the Provisional Measure proposes the increase in the CSLL rate between July and December 2021. The deadline for converting the Provisional Measure into Law is 60 days, extendable for an additional 60 days from the date of publication of the said rule.

The Group is monitoring the impacts on its business, which are still uncertain and will depend on the approval and conversion of the provisional measure into Law and does not expect significant impacts on the Company's results or financial position.

b)	Income tax expense reconciliation

The tax on the Group's pre-tax profit differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities. The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period, calculated by applying the combined Brazilian statutory rates at 34% for the period ended March 31:

		Three months period ended March 31,
		2021		2020
Income before taxes			784,216				516,531
Combined tax rate in Brazil (a)			34	%			34	%
Tax expense at the combined rate			266,634				175,620
Income loss from entities not subject to taxation			2,176				(9,246	)
Effects from entities taxed at different rates			14,068				14,287
Effects from entities taxed at different taxation regimes (b)			(215,804	)			(64,678	)
Intercompany transactions with different taxation			(13,394	)			(9,156	)
Tax incentives			(543	)			605
Non deductible expenses (non-taxable income), net			(5,231	)			6,586
Others			2,162				4,959
Total			50,068				118,977
Effective tax rate			6.38	%			23.03	%
Current			40,498				71,905
Deferred			9,570				47,072
Total expense			50,068				118,977

(a)	Considering that XP Inc. is domiciled in Cayman and there is no income tax in that jurisdiction, the combined tax rate of 34% demonstrated above is the current rate applied to XP Investimentos S.A. which is the holding company of all operating entities of XP Inc. in Brazil.

(b)

Certain eligible subsidiaries adopted the PPM tax regime and the effect of the presumed profit of subsidiaries represents the difference between the taxation based on this method and the amount that would be due based on the statutory rate applied to the taxable profit of the subsidiaries. Additionally, some entities and investment funds adopt different taxation regimes according to the applicable rules in their jurisdictions

27.	Share-based plan

Outstanding shares granted and valuation inputs

The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the share-based plan shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares.

As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding number of Company reserved under the plans were 13,413,030 (December 31, 2020 - 13,899,648) including 10,593,118 RSUs (December 31, 2020 - 11,079,736) and 2,819,912 PSUs (December 31, 2020 - 2,819,912).

Set out below are summaries of XP Inc's RSU and PSU activity for the period ended March 31, 2021.

		RSUs		PSUs		Total
(In thousands, except weighted-average data, and where otherwise stated)		Number of units		Number of units		Number of units

Outstanding, March 31			10,593,118				2,819,912				13,413,030

No options were granted, expired or vested during the periods covered by the above table.

For the three months periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, total compensation expense of both plans were R$178,246 (2020 - R$ 28,408), including R$37,697 (2020 - R$ 5,187) of tax provisions and does not include any tax benefits on total share-based compensation expense once, as this expense is not deductible for tax purposes. The tax benefits will be perceived when the shares are converted into common shares.

The original weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSU and PSU shares was US$27 and US$ 34.56 respectively. In May 2020, the Company decided to update the measurement condition of its PSU shares, replacing the TSR measurement from US Dollars (US$) to Brazilian Reais (R$), being therefore subject to exchange variation. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of PSU shares for the updated plan was US$52.41. The incremental fair value will be recognised as an expense over the period from the modification date to the end of the vesting period. All other conditions of the PSU shares plan has not been modified.

28.	Earnings per share (basic and diluted)

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period attributed to the owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to owners of XP Inc by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential shares into shares. The shares in the share based plan are the only shares with potential dilutive effect.

The following table presents the calculation of net income applicable to the owners of the parent and basic and diluted EPS for period ended of March 31:

		Three months period ended March 31,
		2021		2020
Net Income attributable to owners of the Parent			733,668				396,860
Basic weighted average number of outstanding shares (i) (iii)			559,059				551,800

29.	Determination of fair value

The Group measures financial instruments such as certain financial investments and derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The financial instruments included in the level 1 consist mainly in public financial instruments and financial instruments negotiated on active markets (i.e. Stock Exchanges).

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined using valuation techniques, which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are directly or indirectly observable, the instrument is included in level 2. The financial instruments classified as level 2 are composed mainly from private financial instruments and financial instruments negotiated in a secondary market.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

•

Financial assets (other than derivatives) - The fair value of securities is determined by reference to their closing prices on the date of presentation of the consolidated financial statements. If there is no market price, fair value is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date of presentation.

•	Swap - These operations swap cash flow based on the comparison of profitability between two indexers. Thus, the agent assumes both positions - put in one indexer and call on another.

•	Forward - at the market quotation value, and the installments receivable or payable are prefixed to a future date, adjusted to present value, based on market rates published at B3.

•	Futures - Foreign exchange rates, prices of shares and commodities are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument at a future date, at a contracted price or yield and may be settled in cash or through delivery. Daily cash settlements of price movements are made for all instruments.

•

Options - option contracts give the purchaser the right to buy the instrument at a fixed price negotiated at a future date. Those who acquire the right must pay a premium to the seller. This premium is not the price of the instrument, but only an amount paid to have the option (possibility) to buy or sell the instrument at a future date for a previously agreed price.

38

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements As of March 31, 2021 In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

•	Other financial assets and liabilities - Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of the principal and future cash flows, discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date the financial statements are presented.

•	Loans operations - Fair value is determined through the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the observable rates and market rates on the date the financial statements are presented.

As of March 31, 2021 the total contingent consideration liability is reported at fair value and is dependent on the profitability of the acquired associate (WHG) and businesses (Fliper and Antecipa).The total contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The contigent consideration liability represents the maximum amount payable under the purchase and sale agreements discounted using a weighted average rate of 5.19% p.a. Change in the discount rate by 100 bps would increase/decrease the fair value by R$13,933.

Transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels are analysed at the end of each consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2021 the Group had no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.

30.	Management of financial risks and financial instruments

The Group's activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), and operational risk. The Group's overall risk management structure focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures. It is the Group's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

Management has overall responsibility for establishing and supervising the risk management structure of the Group. Risk Management is under a separated structure from business areas, reporting directly to senior management, to ensure exemption of conflict of interest, and segregation of functions appropriate to good corporate governance and market practices.

XP Inc. and its subsidiaries Notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements As of March 31, 2021 In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated

The risk management policies of the Group are established to identify and analyze the risks faced, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to the limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the activities of the Group. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, developed a disciplined and constructive control environment within which all its employees are aware of their duties and obligations.

Regarding one specific subsidiary XP CCTVM, the organizational structure is based on the recommendations proposed by the Basel Accord, in which procedures, policies and methodology are formalized consistent with risk tolerance and with the business strategy and the various risks inherent to the operations and/or processes, including market, liquidity, credit and operating risks. The Group seek to follow the same risk management practices as those applying to all companies.

Such risk management processes are also related to going concern management procedures, mainly in terms of formulating impact analyses, business continuity plans, contingency plans, backup plans and crisis management.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2020. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year-end.

Sensitivity analysis

According to the market information, the Group performed the sensitivity analysis by market risk factors considered relevant. The largest losses, by risk factor, in each of the scenarios were presented with an impact on the profit or loss, providing a view of the exposure by risk factor of the Group in exceptional scenarios.
