News Explained
The placement is completed, but the disclosure does not quantify ownership impact; payment volume is not revenue and XP Passport is not yet revenue-generating.
MMA.INC released a corporate presentation and reports that its
A private placement is a sale of securities to selected investors outside a public offering, and resale may require a later registration statement that the issuer commonly commits to file.
The platform figures therefore need narrower reading: published profiles do not show active or contractual gyms, while payment volume is gross processed value rather than company revenue. XP Passport is currently freemium and does not presently generate revenue, making it a disclosed product without current revenue contribution.

Operating and Platform Metrics
Operating and platform metrics in this release, including paying, verified and published academies, registered students, monthly active users, check-ins and payment volume, are defined and measured as described in the Company’s filings and may differ from similarly named metrics used by other companies. Published gym profiles include consolidated profiles across assets owned by MMA.INC and do not indicate that such gyms are active or have a contractual relationship with the Company. Verified academies are gyms whose owner has taken control of their profile; paying academies are those on an active paid subscription. Registered students are individual student records created on the platform and do not necessarily indicate current or active training. Monthly active users are unique users active in the relevant month across the app, in-gym kiosk and admin interfaces. Payment volume is the gross value of payments processed through the platform; the run-rate annualized figure annualizes recent monthly volume and is not Company revenue. Social media followers are cumulative across MMA.INC’s assets and do not necessarily indicate current or active engagement.
