roae financial

"recurring profit of R$ 678 million, with an ROAE of 18.4% in 4Q25"

ROAE stands for Return on Average Equity, a profitability ratio that shows how much net income a company generates for its owners relative to the average amount of shareholder equity invested over a period. It’s like measuring the interest rate a business pays its owners on the capital they’ve left in the company, with the ‘average’ smoothing out swings in equity during the year. Investors use ROAE to compare how efficiently different companies turn owner capital into profits and to assess management’s ability to deliver returns over time.

tpv financial

"In payments, the TPV showed sequential acceleration of almost 10%"

Total payment volume (TPV) is the total dollar value of all transactions routed through a platform, payment processor, or marketplace over a specific period. It matters to investors because it shows how much economic activity the business supports—similar to counting cars on a toll road to estimate toll income—and helps indicate growth, revenue potential, user engagement, and shifts in demand that can affect future profits.

Digital bank reports R$ 40.7 billion in deposits and R$ 49.7 billion in its expanded loan portfolio.

SÃO PAULO, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PagBank (NYSE: PAGS), one of the largest digital banks in Brazil and an expert in Brazilians, reports its fourth-quarter 2025 (4Q25) results.

The results of the period demonstrate solid performance and operational acceleration, reflecting discipline in execution and in strengthening the business.

With the most challenging moment of the cycle overcome, even with the high financial cost and lower economic activity, the figures show a recovery that indicates a more favorable scenario for the next periods of PagBank.

"We started 2026 with confidence, while maintaining operational and financial discipline. The macro environment remains challenging, especially regarding the trajectory of interest rates and the level of economic activity. The expected reduction in the basic interest rate, currently at a very high level, can help alleviate the financial cost throughout the year, albeit gradually. We believe that the competition will remain strong, at the same time rational, based on value proposition, product quality, and customer relationship – and not just price," says Gustavo Sechin, CFO of PagBank.

In 4Q25, recurring net income reached R$ 678 million, while net revenue grew 12.4% y/y to R$ 3.5 billion, driven by strong banking growth, improvements in payments in the quarter, and the greater share of financial services revenues, which have higher margins.

Deposits totaled R$ 40.7 billion (+12.6 y/y and +3.1 % q/q), reflecting the continued expansion of the client base – currently 34 million – and the institutional solidity of PagBank. We have achieved the maximum rating, AAA, on a national scale from the three leading global risk rating agencies, increasing market confidence in our fundraising instruments.

The expanded credit portfolio reached R$ 49.7 billion, and the credit portfolio R$ 4.6 billion, representing an expansion of +32.8% y/y, with emphasis on working capital loans, which grew 170.1% compared to the previous year. This acceleration reinforces the strategy of expanding higher-engagement solutions to meet our customers' needs.

As previously disclosed, the digital bank has the ambition to reach a credit portfolio of R$ 25 billion by the end of 2029.

PagBank ended the period with consistent progress in executing its strategy, combining credit acceleration, a gradual resumption in payments, and strong cost discipline. The concession of working capital for entrepreneurs gained significant traction, reaching about R$ 190 million in the quarter.

In payments, the TPV showed sequential acceleration of almost 10%, above historical seasonality. Financial discipline and improved operational efficiency led to leverage gains and higher adjusted net profit. The recurring ROAE advanced to 18.4%, reinforcing the structural improvement in profitability.

For Carlos Mauad, CEO of PagBank, "the results of the quarter reflect a disciplined and consistent execution of our strategy. As the bank specialized in Brazilians, we advanced in accelerating credit with quality, gradually resumed the growth of payments, and maintained strict cost control, which resulted in a significant expansion of profitability."

PagBank continues to focus on its main audience – SMEs – by integrating payments, banking, and credit into a complete offer, offering an integrated portfolio of digital solutions that support the daily financial needs of people and businesses, making it simpler, safer, digital, and affordable.
