PicPay (NASDAQ: PICS) nearly doubles 2025 profit as credit and insurance surge
PicS N.V. (PicPay) reports a breakout 2025 with sharp growth and rising profitability as it enters life as a Nasdaq-listed bank. Total revenue and financial income reached R$10.28 billion, up 85% year over year, while adjusted net income was R$502 million, nearly double 2024.
Fourth-quarter net revenue was R$3.01 billion, up 69%, with adjusted net income of R$188.2 million, up 136%. Annualized adjusted ROE reached 24.4% in the quarter and 20% for 2025, supported by a growing credit portfolio of R$24.1 billion, up 128%, which now generates 52% of revenue.
PicPay closed 2025 with 67 million total accounts and 42.7 million quarterly active clients. Average revenue per active customer in 4Q25 was R$71, 52% higher than a year earlier and more than three times its R$20 quarterly cost to serve, underscoring improving unit economics.
Positive
- Explosive top-line and profit growth: 2025 total revenue and financial income rose 85% to R$10.28 billion, while adjusted net income reached R$502 million, nearly 99% higher than 2024, with fourth-quarter adjusted ROE at 24.4%.
- Scaling credit and insurance platforms: The credit portfolio reached R$24.1 billion (up 128%) and 9 million active insurance policies (up 76%), driving 52% of revenue from credit and 49% from float, fees, commissions and services.
- Strong unit economics and engagement: Average revenue per active customer in 4Q25 was R$71, 52% higher year over year and more than three times the R$20 quarterly cost to serve, supported by 42.7 million active clients.
Negative
- Higher risk costs and cash burn: Credit loss allowance expenses increased to R$2.53 billion in 2025, up 185%, while net cash from operating activities swung to an outflow of R$3.74 billion and cash balances declined to R$3.86 billion.
Insights
PicPay delivers hyper-growth with improving profitability but higher credit costs and cash use.
PicPay’s 2025 results show a fast-scaling fintech bank. Total revenue and financial income rose to R$10.28 billion, up 85%, while gross profit increased 29% to R$3.56 billion. Adjusted profit reached R$502 million, almost doubling year over year, and fourth-quarter adjusted ROE hit 24.4%.
Growth is driven by credit and financial services. The total credit portfolio reached R$24.1 billion, up 128%, and credit contributed 52% of revenue as of 4Q25, with a deliberate tilt toward secured products. Insurance also scaled quickly to 9 million active policies, up 76%, adding a diversified fee stream.
Unit economics improved, with 4Q25 ARPAC of R$71 versus a cost to serve of R$20. However, credit expansion raised risk costs: credit loss allowance expenses climbed to R$2.53 billion, up 185%. Operating activities used R$3.74 billion of cash, and cash balances fell to R$3.86 billion, while third-party funds grew to R$29.97 billion. The January 2026 Nasdaq IPO is described as strengthening the capital structure, and the pending Kovr acquisition (around R$657.6 million plus R$154) is intended to deepen insurance capabilities.

PicPay Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results
PicPay doubles profit to R$ 502 million and surpasses R$ 10 billion in revenue for the full year 2025
Company begins new cycle as Nasdaq-listed firm with strong growth in credit and financial services
São Paulo, March 18, 2026 — PicPay (NASDAQ: PICS) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, which included record financial growth as the company begins its chapter as a publicly traded company. In the first year with revenue above R$ 10 billion, revenue grew 85%, and the company recorded adjusted net income of R$ 502 million, doubling the amount reported in 2024. Gross profit was R$ 3.6 billion in 2025, an increase of 29% year-on-year, while net interest income (NII) reached R$ 4.9 billion in the period, up 87% on the same basis of comparison.
In the fourth quarter, net revenue reached R$ 3 billion, an increase of 69% year-on-year, while adjusted net income totaled R$ 188.2 million, up 136%. Gross profit was R$ 1 billion in the fourth quarter, 38% higher than in the same period of the previous year, while net interest income (NII) amounted to R$ 1.4 billion in the period, 72% higher on the same basis of comparison.
Annualized adjusted ROE reached 24,4% in the fourth quarter, an increase of 5.4 percentage points year over year, and closed 2025 at 20%, up 3 percentage points.
“PicPay combines revenue growth, consistent profit generation and continuous evolution of its business model. We are starting this new phase as a listed company while maintaining the same essence that has marked our entire journey: innovation, disciplined execution and a commitment to making Brazilians’ financial lives easier,” says Eduardo Chedid.
The company also reported strong progress in its main operating metrics. PicPay reached 67 million total accounts, an increase of 11% compared to the previous year, of which 42.7 million are active. Total payment volume (TPV) reached R$ 550 billion in 2025, up 31%, while cash-in — which represents the funds that customers bring into the ecosystem — totaled R$ 483.4 billion, an increase of 29%.
The digital wallet remains the main engine of acquisition, engagement and data generation for the company’s business model. The financial services cross-sell strategy within the customer base continues to drive revenue growth and increase our customers’ credit share of wallet.
Average revenue per active customer (ARPAC) reached R$ 71 in the fourth quarter, up 52%, remaining more than three times higher than the cost to serve, which stood at R$ 20, underscoring the operational efficiency of the business model.
“The numbers reflect the strength of our strategy, which combines a highly engaged customer base, an increasingly comprehensive portfolio of financial products and an operational discipline that allows us to grow profitably,” says André Cazotto, PicPay’s Strategy, M&A and Investor Relations Executive.
Credit and financial services driving growth
Credit remained one of PicPay’s main growth engines in 2025. The total credit portfolio reached R$ 24.1 billion at year-end, an increase of 128% year-on-year.
Today, credit accounts for 52% of the company’s total revenue, with 33% coming from unsecured products, such as personal loans, credit cards and BNPL, and 19% from secured products, including public and private payroll loans, FGTS advances and secured cards.
The company’s strategy prioritizes a balanced mix between secured and unsecured credit, with progressive limit increases based on customers’ financial behavior and intensive use of data from the digital wallet and Open Finance to enhance underwriting.
Another highlight of the year was the expansion of the insurance operation. The company ended 2025 with 9 million active policies, an increase of 76% year-on-year, positioning itself among the largest digital insurance distributors in the country and consolidating this segment as a new and relevant monetization avenue within the ecosystem.
Ecosystem expansion and new products
Throughout 2025, PicPay advanced across new product and innovation fronts. In Consumer Banking, the company strengthened its high-income offering with the soft launch of Epic, a product suite designed for affluent clients, including a premium card, investments, subscriptions and additional benefits.
This was complemented by the rollout of card and investment aggregators, which consolidate card spend, statement limits and investments from multiple financial institutions into a single hub within the app. Each aggregator deepens engagement, generates proprietary data on customer behavior and creates natural cross-sell opportunities.
In the SMB segment, the integration of personal and business accounts in a single app — combined with solutions such as Tap on Phone — has been driving an average of 60 thousand new accounts opened per month.
The ecosystem also began to incorporate new experiences that go beyond the core banking offering, including delivery services in partnership with Rappi, as well as a travel hub with CVC and experiences such as movie tickets and restaurant reservations, expanding the possibilities within the app.
The company is also expanding its artificial intelligence initiatives. Today, 100% of customer service chat interactions begin with AI, contributing to improved resolution rates, while the assistant integrated into WhatsApp is already used for Pix payments, bill payments and due date reminders. Internally, the proprietary HubAI platform is used by more than four thousand employees, with agents supporting day-to-day activities in technology, marketing and operations.

Message From the Management
We closed 2025, marking one of the most relevant chapters in PicPay’s history. It was a year that consolidated more than a decade of building the company and culminated in strong results that paved the way for our Nasdaq debut under the ticker PICS.
Over the years, the company evolved from a pioneering digital wallet into a full digital bank. Today, PicPay is among the largest digital banks in the country, with a portfolio that integrates financial services and everyday experiences for consumers and SMBs. This journey reflects a consistent strategy focused on user engagement, revenue diversification, and disciplined growth with a strong focus on profitability.
In January of this year, we completed our initial public offering, symbolizing the maturity of this journey and inaugurating a new chapter for the company. More than a milestone, the IPO strengthens our capital structure and expands our ability to invest in technology, innovation, and new growth avenues, while bringing additional maturity to our organization as we position ourselves alongside leading global fintech companies. We would like to thank all our investors who supported us throughout this journey and who believe in our story.
This first earnings release as a listed company reflects the strength of our business model.
In 2025, our total revenue surpassed R$10 billion, representing 85% year-over-year growth, driven by the expansion of our financial services portfolio and increased cross-selling within our customer base.
Looking at our revenue composition, we have achieved a very healthy diversification. By the end of 2025, 49% of revenues came from float, fees, commissions, and services, primarily driven by our digital wallet and insurance operations, which have become one of the company’s key businesses. We reached 9 million active policies by the end of the fourth quarter, representing 76% year-over-year growth, positioning us as one of the largest digital insurance distributors in Brazil.
We also recently announced the acquisition of Kovr, our main distribution partner over the past three years, which is still pending regulatory approval. This transaction will significantly accelerate our insurance strategy, bringing more products, stronger synergies, and greater portfolio diversification.
At the same time, credit remains one of our main growth drivers. We closed the year with a total loan portfolio of R$24 billion, representing 128% year-over-year growth. As of 4Q25, credit accounts for 52% of the company’s total revenue, with 33% coming from unsecured credit products such as personal loans, BNPL, and credit cards, and 19% from secured credit products, including public and private payroll loans, secured credit cards, and FGTS prepayment.
Our strategy prioritizes a balanced mix between secured and unsecured credit, with progressive credit limit evolution based on customer behavior. Currently, two-thirds of new originations come from secured products, particularly driven by the growth of our private payroll loan product, where we already rank among the largest originators in a large and highly attractive addressable market with very healthy unit economics.
The remaining one-third of originations comes from unsecured products, mainly credit cards, focused on customers for whom we already have at least 12 months years of credit behavior history.
We believe our risk management framework is more defensive than the industry average, given our more balanced loan portfolio mix. In our unsecured credit operations, higher-risk profiles are matched with shorter tenors, lower leverage-to-income ratios, and higher spreads.
In addition, our underwriting capabilities are powered by strong proprietary data sources. Our digital wallet — one of the largest in the country — serves as a key pillar for data collection. Combined with Open Finance, which provides additional insights into balances, cards, and investment behavior from customers who grant us consent, this significantly enhances our underwriting capabilities.
Looking ahead, we expect credit to represent around 60% of total revenues, with secured credit growing faster and reaching approximately 25% of total revenues.

From a unit economics perspective, revenue per active customer (ARPAC) reached R$71 in the last quarter, representing 52% year-over-year growth, and more than three times our cost to serve, which was R$20 in the quarter, growing only 11% year over year. This highlights the operational efficiency of our model and our ability to grow with discipline while expanding margins and ROE.
Adjusted net income reached R$502 million in the year, representing nearly 99% growth year over year, and delivering 24.4% ROE in the fourth quarter, demonstrating our ability to continue growing above the market while delivering strong profitability.
Our strategy remains anchored in clear pillars: the digital wallet as the central acquisition engine, enabling one of the lowest CACs in the industry, driving engagement and data collection, and enabling increased cross-selling of financial products — particularly the responsible expansion of credit to our existing customer base, helping us steadily increase share of wallet.
We also made meaningful product advancements throughout the year.
In Consumer Banking, our high-income offering was strengthened with the soft launch of Epic, a product suite designed for affluent clients, including a premium card, investments, subscriptions, and additional benefits, and the recent rollout of the cards and investment aggregators, which consolidates card spend, statement limits, and investments from multiple other banks into a single hub inside our app. Every aggregator deepens engagement, generates proprietary data on customer behavior and creates natural cross-sell opportunities.
In the SMB segment, the highlight is the one-click integration between personal and business accounts — with near-zero acquisition cost — combined with cards, investments, and solutions such as Tap on Phone, helping us open on average 60 thousand new business accounts every month.
Our ecosystem expansion also brought new beyond-banking experiences inside the app, including delivery services through our partnership with Rappi, one of the largest delivery platforms in Latin America, as well as Travel and Experiences hubs with CVC, in addition to products such as raffles and lottery offerings.
Finally, we continued to expand our AI initiatives, which began in 2023, when we became pioneers in applying artificial intelligence to customer service.
Today, we operate across three main AI fronts:
| ● | AI solutions delivered at scale, improving customer experience in basic banking services such as Pix and payments through our AI assistant embedded in WhatsApp, which already serves over 10 million users. |
| ● | AI-driven in-app recommendations, delivering more than 50 billion personalized recommendations in 2025. |
| ● | AI-powered customer service, where 100% of chat interactions start with AI, improving resolution rates by more than 20% while preventing the need to hire more than a thousand of additional call center representatives. |
Additionally, we developed Hub AI, our proprietary internal agent platform, used by more than 4,000 employees, with over 1,000 internal agents supporting functions such as coding, marketing, and HR operations.
We believe our journey as an AI-driven fintech is just beginning, with many additional opportunities ahead. As we advance in these initiatives, we will continue sharing updates with the investor community.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in the long-term potential of the Brazilian financial services market and in our ability to capture these opportunities. PicPay continues to stand among the fastest-growing fintechs globally, combining revenue expansion, consistent profit generation, and continuous evolution of our business model.
We thank our customers, employees, partners, and investors for their trust throughout this journey. Our new chapter as a listed company begins with the same essence that has defined our trajectory: innovation, disciplined execution, and a commitment to simplifying the financial lives of Brazilians.
We remain confident as we continue building the next chapters of this story.

Performance in the Period - Operating highlights
1. Consumer Banking
1.1 Total Accounts and Activation
We closed 2025 with 67.0 million total accounts registered on our platform, an 11% increase from December 2024, or a net addition of 7 million accounts. This pace of more than 1 million new accounts per quarter has been positioning us to become one of the largest digital banks in Brazil.
As of December 2025, we were the seventh-largest financial institution among incumbents and neobanks, and the third-largest digital bank in the country, according to data from the Brazilian Central Bank. Additionally, our quarterly active clients reached 42.7 million in 4Q25, up 10% year over year.

Note: (1) Quarterly active clients consider the number of customers and businesses that opened the app/or made at least one financial transaction, and/or generated revenues in the quarter.
1.2 Cash-in and Deposits
In 4Q25, our customers brought R$139.4 billion to our platform, as reflected in the 27% increase of total cash-in compared to 4Q24. On average, customers are bringing more than R$46 billion to our platform each month. For the last twelve months of 2025, we reached R$483.4 billion, an increase of 29% from 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, we’ve totaled R$29 billion in deposits, an increase of 44% year over year. This increase, in addition to the higher cash-in levels presented, can also be attributed to the increased distribution of PicPay CDs through third-party channels, as well as to the adoption of PicPay’s piggy banks from our customer base. Currently, we have multiple sources of funding such as our own platform, third-party platforms, FIDCs, and Financial Letter of Credit (LC), and the company is actively seeking other efficient sources of funding in the market.
Finally, it is also worth mentioning that we have been capable of maintaining a quarterly cost of funding practically stable during the last twelve months.
| 5 |
![]() | ![]() |
Note: (1) Total Cash-in represents the amount of money that our customers deposit/receive in their digital accounts. (2) Deposits include the balance at the end of the period from user payment accounts as well as daily liquidity and fixed-term PicPay CDs (including third-party distribution). (3) Our cost of funding considers the weighted average observed in the quarter from our multiple sources of funding, such as PicPay CDs, FIDCs, and Financial Letter of Credit (LC).
As we further improve our platform and expand our ecosystem by introducing new products and services, and accelerate our credit operations, older cohorts accelerate their adoption of new products and services, while new cohorts onboard at more mature levels and adopt new products and services faster. New cohorts achieve, on average, 3 products in two quarters.
As a result of the acceleration of our credit operations and especially higher monthly cash-in levels, customers with their primary banking relationship within PicPay accounted for 35% of the total active customer base.

1.3 Transactional Activities
We continue to see increased transactional activity, boosted by our position as one of the largest digital wallets in the country and our unique AI-powered user experience, supported by AI agent tools. We closed the last quarter of 2025 with R$158 billion in total TPV, an increase of 28% compared to the same period in 2024. For the full year, we totaled R$550 billion, up 31% from 2024.
Regarding our digital wallet volumes, we totaled R$142 billion, an increase of 27% compared to 4Q24. For the full year of 2025, volumes reached R$497 billion, 30% higher than the previous year. Pix Finance continues to play a very important role in customer cross-selling, engagement, and monetization on our platform, as we can present higher PicPay Card penetration relative to total credit card TPV in the digital wallet. For the last three months of 2025, TPV from Pix transactions using our own credit cards as the source of funds totaled R$2.6 billion, an increase of 70% compared to 4Q24. For the full year, we totaled R$8.8 billion, an expansion of 121% against the previous year.
| 6 |
![]() | ![]() |
Note: (1) Wallet & Banking TPV is composed of instant payments and bill payments funded through customer account balance and/or credit cards registered on file (including our PicPay Card), as well as other transaction activities related to banking features such as cash withdrawal. (2) Pix Finance includes only Pix transactions conducted by our customers with the PicPay card as a source of funds.
1.4 Credit
1.4.1 Loans
In 4Q25, we originated R$4.4 billion in loans, an increase of 116% from 4Q24. Of the total volume presented in the quarter, 88% was for secured loan products. In turn, for the full year, we reached R$11.4 billion, 67% higher than the previous year, and with secured loans representing 77% of the new contracts originated during the period.
Consumer Loans Portfolio – Base 100 Analysis
The following base-100 analysis tracks the evolution of our consumer loans portfolio, focusing on spreads and the “Over 30 MOB3” delinquency indicator — defined as loans over 30 days past due in the third month of each cohort.
The analysis shows a consistent and significant improvement in asset quality across cohorts, supported by the strategic shift in origination mix toward secured products — particularly Private Payroll Loans.
The evolution of delinquency and spreads is a direct result of our risk-based pricing strategy. As origination quality improves and the mix shifts toward lower-risk products, delinquency declines — and pricing adjusts accordingly, reflecting the improved risk profile rather than competitive pressure. This ensures economic returns and portfolio resilience are preserved across cycles.

Note: (1) Secured loan origination includes private payroll loans, public payroll loans (INSS and SIAPE), and FGTS loans. (2) Unsecured loan origination includes personal loans and buy-now-pay-later.
| 7 |
![]() | ![]() |
Growth in the period was mainly driven by the reacceleration of the private payroll loan product, particularly in the second half of the year, when originations reached approximately R$500 million per month, representing 39% of total loan mix in 4Q25.
Importantly, the most recent private payroll loan cohorts show clear improvements in credit performance, supporting a responsible scaling strategy. It is worth noting that early cohorts (2Q25) were affected by operational challenges in the broader Private Payroll market — a new product category for the entire industry, where payroll data integration, employer verification processes, and the early ecosystem infrastructure were still maturing. These market-wide growing pains have since been addressed, and the improvement in recent vintages reflects both the resolution of those external factors and our own underwriting enhancements
| ● | The Over 30 MOB3 indicator shows a meaningful decline in newer cohorts, reflecting the maturation of the Private Payroll ecosystem and stronger underwriting practices; |
| ● | First payment default improved from low double digits to high single digits, indicating lower initial delinquency; and |
| ● | 90-day turnover declined by ~30%, reflecting improved customer stability. |
At the same time, we have been able to scale the product while maintaining pricing discipline. Average monthly interest rates remained stable at approximately 4.3% to 4.5%, despite higher volumes and a significant increase in average maturity, which more than doubled – supporting higher lifetime revenue without compromising risk.
Additionally, we see potential collateral upside, including FGTS balances and severance-related guarantees, which provide additional long-term protection and profitability potential.
1.4.2 Credit Cards
Regarding transaction activity on our prepaid and credit cards, over the last three months of 2025, our PicPay Card TPV reached R$17.6 billion, up 42% year over year. For the full year of 2025, card transaction volumes totaled R$58.7 billion, an increase of 50% compared to the previous year. Of the total, around 60% were composed of credit card transactions.
Growth in Card TPV reflects the increasing adoption of PicPay credit cards as a primary payment method within our platform. Credit cards remain a key driver of customer engagement and principality.

Note: (1) Credit includes both on and off us transactions.
Total Unsecured Credit Portfolio Evolution – Base 100 Analysis
The following base-100 analysis tracks the evolution of our total unsecured credit portfolio: balances, spreads, and First Roll Rates (i.e., the percentage of credit card balances that migrate from current to 1-30 days past due in the period, widely used as a leading indicator of asset quality). These metrics reflect a consistent growth strategy with risk discipline and portfolio mix optimization.
| 8 |
![]() | ![]() |
The portfolio more than doubled over the period, driven primarily by the increased contribution of our Progressive Limits approach, which grew from 7% to 25% of total balances.
The Progressive Limits approach is designed as an early-stage customer acquisition and risk calibration strategy. In this phase, we intentionally prioritize identifying high-quality customers over minimizing NPLs. Small initial limits allow us to observe customer behavior and appropriately price risk, with spreads calibrated to absorb expected losses. This phase typically lasts 8 to 10 months and serves as a funnel for future upgrades.
Customers who demonstrate strong credit behavior are upgraded to the Standard portfolio, which represents our end-state. In this segment, limits and conditions are aligned with income, risk profile, and credit history.
As a result, the increase in First Roll Rates observed in the combined portfolio is primarily a composition effect driven by the growing share of Progressive Limits — not a deterioration in underlying credit quality. This is evidenced by the Standard portfolio in isolation, where First Roll Rates have declined to 96 of the base-100 index, confirming that the core book continues to improve.
As customers migrate to the Standard portfolio, we observe a clear improvement in credit quality, with declining First Roll Rates and expanding spreads, reinforcing the effectiveness of our underwriting and customer selection strategy.
The Standard portfolio continues to show strong and consistent growth, with balances increasing by nearly 90% over the period, reaching 189 on the base-100 index from 2Q24. It represents a more mature, stable, and predictable base, combining lower risk with higher margin visibility and acting as a core profitability anchor for the portfolio.
Overall, the combined evolution of spreads and First Roll Rates demonstrates our ability to scale the portfolio while preserving economic returns and maintaining risk discipline.

1.4.3 Consolidated Credit Portfolio
We closed 2025 with a total credit portfolio of R$24.1 billion, including both consumer and SMB lending, an increase of 128% over 2024 and 29% over September 2025.
| 9 |
![]() | ![]() |

The consumer credit portfolio showed accelerated and well-balanced growth in 4Q25, driven by higher origination in secured products and a stronger focus on seasoned customers in unsecured lending.
A notable shift in the portfolio mix occurred during the quarter. The decline in FGTS origination reflects adverse market conditions and regulatory constraints on FGTS rules, rather than a deliberate de-prioritization. At the same time, we made a strategic decision to accelerate Private Payroll Loans as the primary growth engine, effectively replacing the FGTS momentum with a product that offers significantly higher risk-adjusted returns — as reflected in the NIMAL comparison below.
This evolution reflects a structural shift toward a more resilient and defensive portfolio, anchored by secured lending — particularly private payroll loans — while, in unsecured products such as credit cards, growth is increasingly focused on customers with at least 12 months of established credit behavior:
| ● | Private Payroll Loans contributed R$ 1.4 billion (33% of incremental growth), reinforcing its position as the main growth driver; |
| ● | Mature credit cards (12+ months) added R$ 1.1 billion (25%), reflecting the continued seasoning of prior cohorts and improved credit quality; |
| ● | Public Payroll Loans accounted for R$ 0.9 billion (20%), maintaining solid growth; |
| ● | FGTS contributed R$ 0.3 billion (6%), reflecting the adverse market conditions and regulatory constraints affecting this product category. |
| 10 |

Note: (1) NIMAL (net interest margin after losses): net interest income after credit losses as a percentage of the average loan portfolio. (2) Projected.
It is worth noting that this portfolio rotation, while beneficial from an NIMAL perspective, has an effect on provision formation. FGTS products carry minimal credit losses, so as Private Payroll Loans take a larger share of the mix, higher provision levels are expected — even though the underlying unit economics are superior. This dynamic should be considered when evaluating the evolution of credit loss allowance expenses in the context of our improved portfolio composition.
In terms of consolidated profitability from our credit activities, in the last quarter of 2025, our net interest income (NII) reached R$1.4 billion, an increase of 72% compared with 4Q24. For the full year of 2025, NII totaled R$4.9 billion, up 87% from the previous year. As a result, our quarterly annualized net interest margin (NIM) reached 20% in the last quarter of 2025.
Below, we present the quarterly evolution of our NII and NIM in the last twelve months. We have been able to deliver strong net interest margins of around 20% each quarter, well above Brazil's basic interest rates.

Note: (1) Net interest income is calculated as the difference between the financial income and the interest and other financial expenses presented in the consolidated income statement. (2) The quarterly annualized net interest margin is calculated as the NII divided by the average interest-earning financial assets at the beginning and end of period, including: (i) cash and cash equivalents; (ii) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; (iii) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (iv) interest-earning portfolio; (v) other receivables; and (vi) other financial assets at amortized cost.
| 11 |
![]() | ![]() |
In addition, we present the total margin performance from credit products before and after credit loss expenses for 4Q25 and 2025. This metric better reflects a complete understanding of the profitability from our credit activities considering the entire operation, since our loss absorption targets (most important metric that drives our credit underwriting decisions) also consider fees and commission revenues linked to credit products, such as interchange fees from card transactions and loan insurance protection, in order to analyze the potential revenue generation from each customer cohort during its lifetime.
In 4Q25, the margin from credit products totaled R$1.5 billion, an increase of 69% compared to the same period of the last year. For the full year, we totaled R$4.9 billion, an increase of 110% versus 2024. Considering those margins adjusted to losses, we totaled R$682 million in 4Q25, up 74% from 4Q24, and R$2.4 billion for the full year of 2025, up 63% from 2024. These margins led to a loss absorption ratio of 54% in 4Q25 and 52% for the full year, exactly in line with the range that our operating fundamentals aim to achieve. The increase in the loss absorption ratio from 38% to 52%, comparing 2024 to 2025, is strongly aligned with our decision to move forward on our risk appetite by ramping up credit offerings for the progressive limit group (higher monthly spreads and loss absorptions of up to 100% as a CAC approach), where we accept higher initial losses in exchange for identifying and graduating high-quality customers into the Standard portfolio.

Note: (1) We calculate margin from credit products as the sum of total net revenue from transaction activities and other services and financial income from our credit operations (cards and loans) minus cost of funding from these products. (2) We calculate margin from credit products after losses as margin from credit products minus credit loss allowance expenses.
1.4.2.1 Asset Quality
The 15–90 day NPL ratio was slightly lower in 4Q25, reaching 7.6% compared to 8.1% of the previous quarter, while NPLs over 90 days past due reached 7.2%, a slight increase quarter-over-quarter.
This dynamic is expected and reflects the continued acceleration of portfolio growth and seasoning, as well as portfolio mix effect.
On the secured side, we have been shifting origination from FGTS prepayment — a product with near-zero credit risk — toward private payroll loans, which represent a significantly larger market opportunity and offer superior unit economics, albeit with slightly higher risk and upfront provisioning requirements.
On the unsecured side, our progressive limit approach increased from 18% in 4Q24 to 25% of unsecured credit balances in the current quarter, as discussed in the previous section. Under this strategy, we aim to identify and graduate high-quality customers into our standard portfolio, which delivers strong unit economics and healthier asset quality over time.
While this approach may result in higher early-stage delinquency, it reflects a deliberate investment in expanding a larger and healthier long-term credit base, fully aligned with our customer acquisition strategy.

Below, we present our quarterly cost of risk starting in 4Q24. As shown, our cost of risk reached 3.7% in 4Q25, flat compared to the previous quarter, despite our increased exposure to the private payroll loan product during the period. Comparing the last twelve months, the quarterly cost of risk decreased by 1.4 percentage points, driven by the accelerated growth of our credit portfolio and the increased share of secured credit lines in the outstanding balance (from 43% in 4Q24 to 51% in 4Q25). Our cost of risk is expected to be approximately flat in 1Q26 and between 3.5-4.0% per quarter for the rest of 2026.
Note: (1) Quarterly Cost of risk is calculated as the total credit loss allowance expenses in the quarter divided by the average total credit portfolio, considering the beginning and end of the period.
Additionally, in December 2025, we conducted our annual review of expected credit loss parameters, reflecting the increasing maturity of our credit portfolios and improvements in our risk models. Enhancements included the implementation of renegotiation tracking, specialization of models for new products, adoption of advanced machine learning techniques, and migration from benchmark LGD assumptions to internally developed models. Additionally, we implemented a stricter policy to accelerate the classification of renegotiated non-performing exposures from Stage 2 to Stage 3. During the quarter, R$590 million of Stage 2 portfolio balances were reclassified to Stage 3 , resulting in an ECL increase of R$88 million in the quarter.
These changes led to a one-off increase of 2.8p.p in the quarter. Looking ahead, in 1Q26, Stage 3 formation will be between 3.7% and 4.0% going forward, and we expect the indicator to stabilize between these ranges going forward.

Note: (1) Stage 3 formation is calculated considering the stage 3 balance in each period minus the stage 3 balance in the immediately previous period, plus write-off migration and reversal due to liquidation.
| 13 |
![]() | ![]() |
This stage migration reflects primarily methodological adjustments rather than any underlying credit deterioration. The expected level is supported by the observed improvement in credit origination quality, driven by the increasing maturity of our credit and collection tools, as reflected in the better formation of Stage 2 exposures.
Note: (1) Stage 2 Formation represents the net inflow of Stage 2 exposures during the period. The indicator is calculated by the variation in the Stage 2 balance compared to the previous period, adjusted for operations that migrated from Stage 2 to Stage 3, divided by the total balance of operations in Stage 1 and Stage 2 at the beginning of the period.
The Coverage by Stage chart below highlights the evolution of provisions throughout 2025, reflecting a prudent and consistent approach to credit risk management, even amid accelerated portfolio growth.
The reclassification of credits from stage 2 to 3 resulted in reductions in the coverage of stages 2 and 3, which is to be expected as the credits that migrated from stage 2 to 3 had relatively higher coverage than the average of stage 2 and relatively lower coverage than the average of stage 3. Overall, stage 2+3 coverage reached 62%, higher than previous quarters which is a strong level when compared to that of our main peers.
1.4.2 Insurance activities
In 4Q25, we reached 9.0 million active insurance policies distributed through our platform, up 76% from 4Q25 and more than 35 times since the last quarter of 2022. We remain one of the largest digital distributors in the country, supported by strong adoption of insurance products, including wallet protection, credit card protection, and loan protection, among our customers.
We intend to continue to use our differentiated operating scale to embed and distribute insurance through contextual sales experiences (around 91% of our sales originate from embedded or contextual customer journeys). Our goal is to turn a traditionally expensive and complex product into a simple insurance offering, targeting small-ticket and microinsurance to unlock high returns in Brazil’s underpenetrated market.

2. Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs)
2025 was a pivotal year in strengthening our small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment. Throughout the year, we accelerated the rollout of a robust pipeline of products and services designed to support thousands of entrepreneurs across the country.
On the banking side, we expanded the delivery of several transactional products for our clients, including Pix, credit card bill payments, piggy banks yielding 102% over CDI, and secured credit cards for this side of our ecosystem. Another important delivery was integrating the SMB account and the consumer account into the same app. Now, customers who also hold a business account can integrate it using the same app they already use for their personal financial management. The idea is to increase the opportunity to offer solutions with the same user experience already delivered on the consumer side of our ecosystem, leveraging the fact that almost 10 million users in our customer base are also business owners.
On the acquiring side, we highlight the launch of our Tap on Phone solution, which simplifies and streamlines sales for small businesses that rely on fast, practical payment solutions in their day-to-day sales.
As a result of all the strategic actions conducted throughout the year, our SMB TPV totaled R$11.1 billion in the last quarter of 2025, up 36% from 4Q24. For the full year, we totaled R$39.9 billion, an increase of 47% over the previous year.

3. Consolidated Financial Results for the period
3.1. Net revenues
In 4Q25, our total net revenues reached R$3.0 billion, an increase of 69% when compared to 4Q24. For the full year of 2025, net revenues amounted to R$10.3 billion, an increase of 85% when compared to the previous year. The increase is mainly due to the following reasons:
| (i) | Increased penetration of credit revenues in the mix, which represented 52% of our total net revenues in the last quarter of the year, led by higher exposure to interest revenues originating from the secured credit portfolio (from 9% in 2024 to 16% of total revenues in 2025), specially due to the acceleration of the private payroll loan offer (higher average interest rates compared to other existing products in the mix). |
| 15 |
![]() | ![]() |
| (ii) | Stronger transactional activities from our ecosystem, followed by the growth of revenues coming from our Pix Finance solution within the digital wallet, as well as by the higher adoption of the PicPay card usage among our customer base, leading us to an expansion of not only credit revenues, but also of services revenue as interchange fees linked to prepaid and credit card transactions are ramping up quarter after quarter given the expressive growth of our card TPV. |
| (iii) | Our positioning as one of the largest digital insurance distributors in the country, as demonstrated by the annual growth of the active insurance policies in our platform, has enabled us to continuously increase commission revenues for this product in both periods of comparison. |
| (iv) | Higher engagement levels from our customer base as they are increasingly adopting more products and services offered on our platform (cross-selling) while pulling more funds from other bank accounts to PicPay, as expressed by the robust growth of total cash-in in all periods of comparison, which is one of the growth drivers for our deposits. |
Below, we present our revenue mix for both periods of comparison. It is important to highlight that, even with the increased penetration of net revenues coming from our lending activities, revenues with no credit risk, such as float and fees, commissions, and other services (which include the financial income originated from third-party credit card transactions conducted by our customers in the digital wallet) still represents almost half of our total net revenues in 4Q25 and for the full year of 2025 (around 49% over the total). This ability to continue to present diversified revenue streams is one of our main advantages, as we have a more defensive mix compared to peers in the market that also operate with credit.

Note: (1) “Unsecured credit products” includes interest revenues from the unsecured credit portfolio (personal loans and credit cards). (2) “Secured credit products” include interest revenues from the secured credit portfolio (private and public payroll loans and FGTS loans). (3) “Fees, commissions, and other services” includes total net revenue from transaction activities and other services presented in our consolidated income statement, plus the financial income originating from third-party credit card transactions conducted by our customers in the ecosystem. (4) “Float” is calculated as the difference between total revenue and the sum of secured credit products, unsecured credit products and fees, commissions and other services.
3.1.2 ARPAC
In terms of quarterly average revenue per active client (ARPAC), we reached R$71.0 in 4Q25, up 52% from 4Q24. Considering the quarterly average for the full year of 2025, we reached R$62.9 per active client, an increase of 66% over the previous year. Below, we present the ARPAC evolution on a quarterly basis from the first quarter of 2024 onwards.
| 16 |
![]() | ![]() |

Note: (1) The quarterly average revenue per active client is equal to the total net revenue and financial income in the quarter divided by the average number of quarterly active clients, considering the beginning and the end of each period.
3.2. Expenses & Operating Efficiency
3.2.1. Transactional and financial expenses
Total transaction and financial expenses reached R$1.2 billion in the last quarter of 2025, up 110% from 4Q24. For the full year, we totaled R$4.2 billion, representing a 117% increase compared to 2024. Such an increase for both periods of comparison can be mainly explained by:
| (i) | Annual increases of 128% and 143% in the line of interest and other financial expenses for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2025, respectively. The increase in both periods can be mainly attributed to the combined impact of: (i) higher interest rates practiced in the economy during the last twelve months; (ii) the growth in our total deposits and the accelerated distribution of fixed-term PicPay CDBs off-platform; and (iii) analogue to previous cause, the necessity to increase funding activities to meet accelerated credit growth in the period. |
| (ii) | Increases of 55% and 40% in the year over year comparison for transaction expenses in 4Q25 and 2025, respectively. Such expansions can be attributed to: (i) higher expenses related to processing fees charged by acquirers and card scheme networks, given the growth of our total TPV; and (ii) higher expenses related to card issuance, followed by the increase of our PicPay Card offer, as explained in the credit section. |
3.2.2. Gross Profit
As a result of the factors mentioned above, we recorded R$1.0 billion in gross profit in 4Q25, an increase of 38% compared to 4Q24. For 2025, we totaled R$3.6 billion, 29% up from 2024.
We believe that, from a revenue and expense perspective, we will be able to deliver higher gross profit annual growth in the upcoming quarters, especially due to the following:
| (i) | The continuing maturation of our total credit portfolio, supported by the successful credit underwriting strategy that we have been able to deliver over the last two years for secured and unsecured credit lines. |
| (ii) | Our strong potential gains of scale, which are translated by a large and still underpenetrated customer base (currently holding only 6% of their total credit limit taken in the market within PicPay’s platform), allowing us to increase principality and monetization levels over time. |
| 17 |
![]() | ![]() |
| (iii) | Additional revenue growth expected from other strategic business segments in our ecosystem beyond consumer banking, such as SMBs and Audiences & Ecosystem Integration, which together delivered a robust roadmap of products and services throughout the year, aiming to increase engagement and monetization within PicPay’s business flywheel. |
| (iv) | Analogous to the first item mentioned above, as our portfolio continues to mature over time, followed by increased penetration from customers with proven good credit behavior (mostly coming from our progressive limit strategy), we’ll be able to present important credit loss provision reversals, more than offsetting additional provisions required in the short term. |

Note: (1) Gross Profit for the quarter and the full year is calculated as the total net revenues and financial income minus total transaction and financial expenses, less credit loss allowance provisions.
3.2.3. Operating expenses
In 4Q25, our adjusted operating expenses, which exclude non-recurring items for the period, totaled R$772 million, an increase of 15% when compared to the same period of the previous year. For the full year of 2025, adjusted expenses totaled R$3.0 billion, up 23% from 2024.
Below, we present a detailed breakdown of each one of the non-cash and one-time events that took place exclusively during the last quarter of 2025:
| (i) | initial expenses of the share-based long-term incentive plan totaling R$210.1 million. |
| (ii) | additional contingency expenses originating from the updated assessment outcome in the amount of R$64 million in the period related to: (i) labor taxes payable on bonuses awarded for employee performance in 2023 and 2024; and the Contribution for Intervention in the Economic Domain (“CIDE”) dispute. |
The expenses growth previously mentioned can be mainly explained by the following items:
| (i) | a growth of 38% and 49% in marketing expenses totaling R$147.7 million and R$494.9 million for 4Q25 and the full year of 2025, respectively. The increase in 4Q25 was primarily due to higher cashback and customer acquisition expenses, aimed at boosting engagement levels within our existing customers while also growing total accounts through performance media investments. For 2025, increased marketing expenses were also driven by higher advertising expenses, as we intensified the number of marketing campaigns throughout the year. |
| (ii) | a growth of 37% and 51% in depreciation and amortization totaling R$117.0 million and R$442.8 million for 4Q25 and 2025, respectively. The increase in both periods of comparison is attributable to higher amortization of intangible assets resulting from the activation of working hours by our development engineers, given the pace of our product launch in 2025. |
Additionally, we present the quarterly evolution of our efficiency ratio. In 4Q25, our adjusted efficiency ratio (including the previously detailed adjustments) was 49.9%, compared with 60.2% in 4Q24 and 53.8% in the previous quarter. We expect to continue delivering strong reductions in revenue consumption as we accelerate top-line growth while maintaining extremely disciplined cost and expense control, as reflected in our current quarterly average cost-to-serve.
| 18 |
![]() | ![]() |

Note: (1) Efficiency ratio is calculated as the sum of transaction expenses, technology expenses, marketing expenses, personnel expenses, administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and other expenses divided by the sum of net revenue from transaction activities and other services, financial income minus interest and other financial expenses, plus other income. (2) The efficiency ratio in 4Q25 was adjusted by non-recurring operating expenses in the period.
3.2.4. Cost to serve
In 4Q25, our quarterly average cost to serve reached R$20.4 per active client, up 11% year-over-year. The increase was mainly driven by higher cross-sell of products and services, reflecting the continued expansion and engagement of our ecosystem. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the increase is also explained by a tougher comparison base, as 3Q25 benefited from higher rebates related to our Mastercard agreement, driven by volume and performance targets achieved in the period, which temporarily reduced our cost to serve. Our quarterly average cost to serve for 4Q25 was adjusted by the recognition of non-cash expenses related to one-time initial expenses of the share-based long-term incentive plan and the recognition of expenses related to the establishment of provisions for contingencies.
It is important to highlight that we continue to present the lowest cost to serve in the market, which is 14 times lower than the average for traditional banks. Our efficient cost structure, enabled by our fully digital platform, is one of our main competitive advantages as it allows us to offer more attractive fees without sacrificing our contribution margins.

Note: (1) The quarterly cost to serve is calculated by the sum of transaction expenses, technology expenses, marketing expenses (excluding CAC expenses), personnel expenses, and administrative expenses in the quarter divided by the average number of quarterly active clients in the period.
4.0 Profitability
As a result of the previously mentioned factors, our adjusted earnings before income taxes (EBT) reached R$241 million in the last quarter of 2025, an increase of 284% compared to 4Q24. For the full year of 2025, we totaled R$592 million, 71% higher than in 2024. Regarding our consolidated adjusted net income for the period, we totaled R$188 million in 4Q25, nearly doubling from 4Q24 (136% year-over-year growth). For the full year, we reached R$502 million, an increase of 99% compared to the previous year.
It is important to note that, specifically in the last quarter of 2025, we recognized a one-time tax credit of R$890 million related to the recognition of deferred tax assets, based on expectations that the payment institution subsidiary will generate sufficient taxable profit in the future and in the same period, we also recorded R$210 million in expenses associated to our stock-based compensation plan. These were the most significant adjustments in our reported results in the quarter. Finally, our quarterly annualized adjusted return on average equity (ROE) reached 24.4% in 4Q25, almost 6 percentage points higher than in the same period last year.
| 19 |
![]() | ![]() |

Note: (1) The quarterly annualized return on equity (ROE) is calculated by multiplying the adjusted net income in the quarter by four and then dividing it by the average adjusted shareholders’ equity (including the aforementioned adjustments in the accumulated net income for the year) in the beginning and end of the period
5.0 Capital Ratio
We present the evolution of our capital ratios, projecting a Common Equity Tier I Ratio of approximately 14% and a Total Capital Ratio of around 16% by the end of the first quarter of 2026. Of the proceeds from the IPO, 75% have already been invested in the bank, while the remaining funds will be retained at our holding company in the Netherlands for future use, such as completing the acquisition of Kovr.

Exhibit 99.4
Independent Auditors Report on the Consolidated
Financial Statements
To the Shareholders
and Board of Directors of PicS N.V
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PicS N.V (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standard).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical principles provided for in the Accountant's Code of Professional Ethics and in the professional standards issued by the Federal Accounting Council, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Measurement of Expected Credit Losses (ECL) – See Notes 3.5, 8.2 and 8.3 to the consolidated financial statements Key Audit Matter How our audit approached this matter
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit approached this matter | |
As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) amounting to R$3,155,386, related to consumer loans (collective ECL). The Company classifies its financial assets into three credit risk stages based on the assessment of changes in credit risk since initial recognition, in accordance with the expected credit loss (ECL) model. For assets with no significant increase in credit risk (Stage 1), a 12-month ECL is recognized, while for assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk or are credit-impaired (Stages 2 and 3), a lifetime ECL is recognized.
To calculate the ECL, the Group segments the portfolios into homogeneous risk groups based on shared credit risk characteristics and uses models to estimate the Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and Loss Given Default (LGD) for each group. Additionally, the Group identifies relevant macroeconomic variables and estimates the impact of projections of these variables.
We considered the measurement of expected credit losses related to consumer loans a key audit matter due to the high level of audit effort, including specialized skills and knowledge, as well as the subjective and complex judgment required due to significant uncertainty in measurement. Specifically, the assessment included: (i) the ECL methodology, including PD and LGD models and their respective assumptions; and (ii) the determination of credit risk and stage allocation, evaluating whether a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) occurred, considering changes in credit behaviour variables. |
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to:
● Evaluation of the Company’s process for developing the collective ECL estimate by testing certain data sources, factors, and assumptions used, as well as considering the relevance and reliability of these elements.
● Assessment, with the involvement of our professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in credit risk, of:
(i) the collective ECL in terms of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS – Accounting Standards);
(ii) the conceptual soundness of the PD and LGD models by inspecting the model documentation to determine whether the models are suitable for their intended use;
(iii) the appropriateness of the stage allocation of financial assets, considering shared risk characteristics as well as the Company’s specific metrics and comparison with applicable regulatory practices;
(iv) the relevance of macroeconomic variables incorporated into the PD models, through regression analyses of the historical correlation between these variables and credit risk;
(v) the accuracy of the PD and LGD models based on the Company’s historical data.
● Review of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements to assess whether they appropriately reflect relevant information on expected credit losses.
Based on the audit evidence obtained through the procedures summarized above, we consider the measurement of ECLs and the related disclosures to be acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2025. |

Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets – See Notes 3.15, 4.5 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit approached this matter | |
The Company recognized deferred tax assets (DTA) of R$705,963 related to tax losses and social contribution negative basis (tax losses and social contribution DTA). The recognition of these assets depends on the likelihood that future taxable profits will be available for utilization. The Company’s estimates of future taxable profits are based on management’s business plans and projections, which require the definition of significant assumptions regarding future events and conditions, such as revenue growth and operating margins.
We considered the assessment of the recoverability of tax losses and social contribution deferred tax assets (DTA) a key audit matter due to the high level of audit effort, including specialized skills and knowledge, and subjective and complex auditor judgment was involved in evaluating the revenue growth and operating margins assumptions used to estimate future taxable profits. |
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to:
● Testing the design and implementation of certain internal controls over the determination of assumptions, including revenue growth and operating margins, used in preparing future taxable profits;
● Involvement of valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing the revenue growth and operating margins assumptions by analyzing the consistency of these assumptions with commonly adopted valuation practices and methodologies and comparing to the entity’s historical information and relevant market data.
● Review of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements to assess whether they appropriately reflect relevant information regarding the deferred tax assets.
Based on the audit evidence obtained through the procedures summarized above, we consider the assessment of the recoverability of the recognized deferred tax assets, as well as the related disclosures, to be acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
4
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| ● | Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| ● | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| ● | Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2. Presentation and preparation of the consolidated financial statements
2.1 Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on March 18, 2026.
Prior to the IPO, PicPay relied on capital contributions from its controlling shareholders, as its earnings were not sufficient to finance the growth of the Group’s operations. The capital raised during in the IPO will be used to support PicPay operations.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.
| 2.2 | Basis of consolidation |
These consolidated financial statements include PicS N.V and all entities over which it has control (subsidiaries). Control is when the Group is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The Group reassesses whether it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate there are changes to one or more of the elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the entity and ceases when the Group loses control. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group obtains control until the date the Group loses control. Intragroup transactions between parent company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in full on consolidation.
On December 17, 2024, the Company structured the “Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios PicPay FGTS” (‘FIDC FGTS’), a Receivables Investment Fund, domiciled in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The fund consists of a total of 825,674 quotas, of which 697,652 are senior quotas and 128,022 are subordinated quotas. The Group exclusively acquired the subordinated quotas for R$ 128,022, which were settled in cash on the same date. On December 17, 2024, the Group, as the sole holder of the subordinated quotas and therefore responsible for all risks associated with the FIDC operation, began to consolidate the FIDC FGTS. This is due to its exposure to the residual value of the FIDC after the payment of remuneration to the senior quota holders, which must be fully redeemed. Additionally, the power to control voting rights and, consequently, to determine the administrative activities of the FIDC characterizes the influence exercised by the Group, as stipulated in the fund’s regulations. The operation consists of the assignment of receivables to the FIDC, which is considered a related party. Thus, the assets and liabilities of the PicPay Group and the FIDC are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, resulting only in the Group’s co-obligation regarding the quotas. As a subordinated quota holder, the Group records both a liability and an expense corresponding to that liability. The subordinated position retains the risks and benefits that the Group still retains control over the receivables, justifying the consolidation of the FIDC in its financial statements. The senior quotas are accounted for as a financial liability under the heading ‘Obligations to FIDC FGTS quota holders’, while the accrued remuneration to senior quota holders is recorded as ‘Interest and Other Financial Expenses’.
On September 19, 2025, PicPay Participações e Investimentos Ltda executed an Equity Purchase Agreement for the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of two separate entities:
(i) shares representing 100% of the total share capital of KOVR Participações S.A., a Brazilian insurance company, which holds 100% of the total share capital of KOVR Seguradora S.A. and KOVR Previdência S.A., and indirectly holds 100% of KOVR Capitalização S.A.; and
(ii) quotas representing 53% of the total share capital of Estrutural Corretora Assessoria e Consultoria de Seguros Ltda. (“Estrutural”) an insurance brokerage company. PicPay Participações was also granted an option to purchase the remaining 47% of Estrutural’s total share capital. This option to purchase may be exercised up to 60 (sixty) months following the third year after the closing date of the Acquisition.

3.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other highly liquid short-term investments, which are redeemable within 90 days at a known amount in cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash equivalents are held to meet short-term cash commitments and not for investment or for other purposes.
3.3 Trade receivables
Amounts receivable from financial transactions processed by acquirers and card issuers
Composed of the amounts receivable from acquirers and card issuers for payment transactions with credit cards and debit cards made by users on the Group’s payment platform. Receivables from debit card transactions are settled in 1 day and receivables from normal credit card transactions are settled on or prior to 32 days following the transaction. The credit card payments through monthly installments for up to 12 months and due from the acquirer generates receivables which are measured at amortized cost and are net of provisions for credit and fraud risk (chargeback). These receivables are transferred to the FIDC PicPay I via pass-through arrangements without any impact on these consolidated financial statements due to the FIDC’s consolidation on PicS N.V financial statements.
Amounts receivable from provision of services
Primarily composed of receivables related to business partner commissions and intermediation fees charged for processing transactions receivable from commercial establishments.
3.4 Financial assets and liabilities
Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the respective instruments. Upon initial recognition, the Group determines the classification of financial instruments as subsequently measured at Amortized Cost (AC), Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI), or Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL). This classification is defined based on the Group’s Business Model for managing financial assets and the contractual characteristics of the cash flows of each instrument.
The Business Model reflects how the Group manages its financial assets to generate cash flows, whether through collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets, or a combination of both.

| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
The assessment of the contractual characteristics of cash flows is performed through the Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test, which verifies whether the contractual cash flows are compatible with the intended classification. This test ensures that the characteristics of the contractual cash flow of the asset correspond to the payment of principal and interest. Thus, based on the SPPI test, management will make its definition of classification and measurement of the financial asset, defining the business model.
Contractual cash flows are considered to represent “solely payments of principal and interest” when they correspond to a basic lending arrangement. In such cases, interest must essentially reflect the time value of money, credit risk, operational costs, profit margin, and other risks associated with the instrument.
This procedure applies both when entering into a new financial instrument and when a contractual change occurs that could modify the generation of cash flows composed exclusively of payments of principal and interest for an existing instrument within the Group.
Reclassification of the Business Model
When the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, it applies reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date onward to all affected financial assets, with no previously recognized gain, loss (including impairment gains or losses), or interest being reversed.
Changes in the business model result from changes in specific objectives of certain groups of jointly managed financial assets that are significant to the Group’s operations and demonstrable to external parties.
When reclassifying a financial asset from amortized cost to fair value through profit or loss, fair value is determined on the reclassification date. Any difference between the previously recognized amortized cost and the new fair value is recognized directly in profit or loss.
When an asset is reclassified from FVTPL to amortized cost, its fair value on the reclassification date becomes the new gross carrying amount.
When reclassifying a financial asset from amortized cost to FVOCI, fair value is also measured on the reclassification date. In this case, any difference between previous amortized cost and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate and expected credit loss measurement remain unchanged.
When an asset is reclassified from FVOCI to amortized cost, it is recorded at its fair value on the reclassification date. However, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is removed from equity and adjusted against the asset’s fair value. Thus, the asset is subsequently measured as if it had always been measured at amortized cost. This adjustment affects only other comprehensive income, with no impact on profit or loss, and does not constitute a reclassification adjustment. The effective interest rate and expected credit loss measurement also remain unchanged.
If the Group reclassifies a financial asset from FVTPL to FVOCI, the asset remains measured at fair value.
Finally, when reclassifying a financial asset from FVOCI to FVTPL, the asset continues to be measured at fair value. In this case, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on the date of the category change.
Financial assets
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when they are held within a business model whose objective includes both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, with substantial transfer of risks and rewards. In addition, their contractual terms must give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows that consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. Therefore, the instruments must pass the SPPI test.

Amortized cost (AC)
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows. In addition, their contractual terms must give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows that consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. Therefore, the instruments must pass the Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss when they are not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets will be measured at FVTPL when they are held within a business model whose objective is to generate return solely through the sale of financial assets. In such cases, the contractual cash flows may not consist solely of payments of principal and interest on specific dates. Thus, these instruments are not required to pass the SPPI test.
Additionally, the Group may irrevocably elect, at initial recognition, to present subsequent changes in the fair value of certain equity investments, otherwise classified as FVTPL, in other comprehensive income.
Derecognition of financial assets
Before assessing whether, and to what extent, derecognition of a financial asset is appropriate, the Group determines whether the derecognition requirements should be applied to the entire asset (or group of similar financial assets) or to only a part of it. Derecognition is applied only to a part of a financial asset (or group of similar assets) when that part meets one of the following conditions:
| (i) | comprises specifically identifiable cash flows; |
| (ii) | comprises a fully proportionate (pro rata) share of the asset’s cash flows; or |
| (iii) | represents a fully proportionate (pro rata) share of specifically identifiable cash flows. |
When none of these conditions are met, derecognition is applied to the entire financial asset (or entire group of similar assets).
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when contractual rights to the cash flow expire or when the asset is transferred and such transfer qualifies for derecognition. When transferring a financial asset, the Group assesses whether it has retained or transferred substantially all risks and rewards.
If substantially all risks and rewards are transferred, the asset is derecognized and any rights or obligations created or retained in the transaction are recognized separately. If substantially all risks and rewards are retained, the asset remains fully recognized.
If the Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards, it assesses whether control over the asset has been transferred. If control is transferred, the asset is derecognized, with any related rights or obligations recognized separately. If control is retained, the asset remains recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement.

| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
When a financial asset is fully derecognized, the Group recognizes in profit or loss the difference between the asset’s carrying amount at derecognition and the consideration received, including any new assets obtained, net of any liabilities assumed.
If the transfer of a financial asset does not result in derecognition due to the retention of substantially all risks and rewards, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset in full and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received. In subsequent periods, the Group recognizes any income from the transferred assets and any expenses incurred on the associated financial liability.
Financial liabilities
Amortized cost
The Group classifies its financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost; however, when IFRS 9 requires different treatment based on the instrument’s specific nature, amortized cost is not permitted:
| (i) | Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including derivatives that are liabilities, must be subsequently measured at fair value; |
| (ii) | Financial liabilities arising from transfers of financial assets that do not qualify for derecognition, or in situations where the continuing involvement approach applies, remain subject to the specific requirements of that approach; |
| (iii) | Financial guarantee contracts, after initial recognition, are measured at the higher level of the loss provision amount and the initially recognized amount, less any income recognized in profit or loss; |
| (iv) | Loan commitments to provide financing at below-market rates are also subsequently measured at the higher of the loss provision amount and the initially recognized amount, adjusted for revenue recognized over time; or |
| (v) | Contingent consideration in a business combination recognized by the acquirer is subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognized directly in profit or loss. |
Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
The Group may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss when such designation results in more relevant information.
This designation is optional and may be adopted when it eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise if related assets and liabilities were measured or recognized under different criteria.
Designation is also permitted when a financial liability is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis, according to a documented risk management or investment strategy, and when internal reporting to key management personnel reflects this measurement basis. In such cases, fair value measurement through profit or loss provides greater fidelity to how the Group manages these liabilities and eliminates accounting inconsistencies, justifying the use of fair value.
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability, in whole or in part, only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, meaning it is settled, canceled, or expires. In such cases, the corresponding liability is removed from the statement of financial position.
An exchange of debt instruments between borrower and lender involving substantially different terms is treated as the extinguishment of the original financial liability and recognition of a new one. Likewise, any substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, whether or not related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, results in derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new one.

| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part thereof) that is extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized directly in profit or loss.
3.5 Expected credit losses
Loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) is calculated for all financial assets not held at fair value through profit and loss and is presented in the consolidated statements of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount and as an impairment loss on the statement of profit and loss.
The table presented in Note 8.3 discloses the carrying amount of financial assets. ECLs on “Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss” are already accounted for when determining those fair values. For “Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income” the loss allowance shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.
ECLs account for forecast elements such as undrawn limits and macroeconomic conditions that might affect the Group’s receivables. The Group classifies the financial assets in stages and calculates provisions accordingly. These stages are:
| ● | Stage 1: no significant increase in credit risk since recognition. |
| ● | Stage 2: significant increase in credit risk subsequent to recognition. |
| ● | Stage 3: credit impaired. |
Based on these concepts, the Group’s approach is to calculate ECL utilizing the probability of default (“PD”), exposure at default (“EAD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) methodology.
Definition of default and stages
The Group applies a definition of default consistent with the one used for internal credit risk management for the relevant financial instrument, considering qualitative indicators (e.g., financial agreements) when appropriate. A financial asset is in default when it meets the criteria for classification in Stage 3, as described below. Additionally, for the purposes of local regulatory compliance, the Regulatory Authority of the Brazilian National Monetary System considers this measure for defining default as the basic benchmark parameter. Therefore, the PicPay Group considers the application of this parameter to be reasonable.
Definition of stages
Stage 1 definition - no significant increase in credit risk since recognition
(i) The financial asset is up to 30 days in arrears.
Stage 2 definition - significant increase in credit risk subsequent to recognition
(i) Absolute Criteria: The financial asset is more than 30 (thirty) days overdue but less than 90 (ninety) days overdue.
(iii) Relative Criteria: In addition to the absolute criteria, the Group conducts a monthly assessment of the risk of each financial instrument. This analysis compares the current risk assessment of the counterparty with the assessment assigned at the time of initial recognition of the financial asset. The risk assessment takes into account credit behavior variables that are strongly correlated with the probability of default (PD) of the financial instrument. If the current assessment of the credit risk of the financial asset is significantly higher than the assessment at initial recognition, the asset is classified in Stage 2. For assets classified in Stage 2, the PD is calculated over the remaining life of the contract. This approach uses a conditional probability model that reflects the default risk based on the remaining duration of the contract.
19
| Pics N.V | |
| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Reclassification of assets from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may occur if they no longer meet the criteria described above for assessing the occurrence of a significant increase in credit risk relative to the initial recognition.
Stage 3 definition - credit impaired
| (i) | The financial asset is overdue for more than 90 days. |
| (ii) | There are indications that the financial asset will not be fully paid without a collateral or financial guarantee being triggered. |
| (iii) | The probability of default (PD) is considered 100%, as the customer has already defaulted. |
Reclassification of assets from Stage 3 to Stages 1 or 2 may occur if they are no longer past due and a significant proportion of the outstanding exposure has been repaid.
Measuring ECL
The Group manages and calculates ECL according to the characteristics of the financial assets. For Consumer loans, ECL is calculated using the following parameters:
PD: Probability of Default (PD) represents the likelihood that a financial asset will default within a specified timeframe. Under IFRS 9, the methodology for calculating PD varies according to the credit risk stage of the financial asset. For Stage 1, PD is estimated using the “PD90@12” concept, which assesses the probability of a delay exceeding 90 days within a 12-month period. PD is derived from historical data through statistical models. In Stage 2, PD is calculated based on the probability of default over the remaining life of the contract. This approach utilizes a conditional probability model that reflects default risk according to the remaining duration of the contract. For Stage 3, PD is considered to be 100%, as the customer has already defaulted. This comprehensive approach enables financial institutions to make more accurate provisions for expected credit losses (ECL), ensuring better compliance with IFRS 9 requirements and providing a more realistic reflection of credit risk across various economic scenarios.
LGD: Loss Given Default (LGD) represents the expected loss percentage in the event of default, taking into account recovery efforts and the specific characteristics of financial assets.
EAD: Exposure at Default (EAD) represents the present value of the expected credit exposure at the time of default. As new information on historical defaults was incorporated, the average time to default was updated.
The Group writes-off the gross carrying amount of financial assets when it has no reasonable expectation of recovering it in its entirety or a portion thereof. The write-off of assets is carried out 9 months after the month in which the asset reaches 90 calendar days in arrears.
Changes in estimates and assumptions in the financial statements.
As of December 31, 2025, our estimates of ECL parameters for credit cards and unsecured loans to consumers were revised to incorporate the latest historical data. The changes in estimates for the period were as follows:
| (i) | EAD – With the maturation of the consumer loans, the Group obtained new information on the profile of defaulted credits and, as a consequence, estimated a reduction in the average time to default. The estimated payment shortfalls continue to be discounted to present value using the effective interest rate of the operation (EIR), now utilizing the revised time to default. |
| (ii) | PD – The incorporation of additional historical default information improved the predictive power of the statistical credit scoring models, resulting in better segmentation of the portfolio into homogeneous PD groups and more accurate PD estimates for each group. |
| (iii) | LGD – As new information on the recovery of defaulted credits was incorporated, LGD was estimated based on PicPay’s own recovery data. For the more recent vintages, recoveries over the full workout period were estimated based on that of earlier vintages of credits originated by PicPay. The new method for estimating LGD is an evolution relative to the benchmark approach previously employed based on LGD estimates of peer banks. |

Detailed information on the allowance for ECLs is presented in Note 8.3. The net result of the revisions in ECL parameter estimates are included in the variations presented in Note 8.3.1 Changes in credit loss allowance, in the balances of Credit Card and Loans to customers. In this regard, IAS 8 establishes that adjustments for expected credit losses qualify as estimates and that their measurement is determined in accordance with IFRS 9.
3.6 Property, plant and equipment
Measured at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line method and considers the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and the effect of any changes in estimates is accounted for prospectively.
The useful lives of fixed assets are estimated as follows:
| ● | Machinery and equipment — 10 years |
| ● | Right of use — leases — 5 to 10 years |
| ● | Computers and equipment — 5 years |
| ● | Furniture and fixtures — 10 years |
| ● | Improvements — 5 to 12 years |
| ● | Facilities — 10 years |
Items of property, plant and equipment are written off after disposal or when there are no future economic benefits arising from the continuing use of the asset. Any gains or losses from the sale or write-off of the assets are determined by the difference between the amounts received in sale and the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss.
3.7 Intangible assets
Intangible assets refer to software licenses and software developed internally or externally, which have a defined useful life and are recorded at cost, less amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life and the amortization method are revised yearly, and the effects of any changes in estimates are recorded prospectively. The amortization period for all intangible assets is 5 to 10 years, which corresponds to annual rates of amortization between 10-20%.
Development expenditures are capitalized only if they can be reliably measured, if future economic benefits are likely, and if the Group has the intention and sufficient resources to complete development and use or sell the asset. Other development expenses are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. After initial recognition, capitalized development expenses are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any losses due to impairment.
3.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date, whether there are any indications that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or Cash Generating Unit’s (CGU’s) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on most recent budgets and forecasts calculations. A long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows. The Group performed its annual impairment test. Refer to Note 12 for more details.
3.9 Business combination and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, including assets transferred and liabilities assumed, measured at fair value.
21
| Pics N.V | ![]() |
| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration treated as an asset or liability are recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the consideration transferred is smaller than the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized as a gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is tested for impairment annually or when there is any indication that goodwill may be impaired.
Business Combination under common control
A business combination involving entities under common control is one in which all entities of the combination are controlled by the same ultimate partners, both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. In this situation, the pre-combination carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities are merged into the Group at their carrying amounts, without any fair value measurement adjustments. The Group does not recognize goodwill arising from these common control transactions.
3.10 Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is considered as containing a lease when it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration.
For lease agreements with a term of more than one year, the Group recognizes:
(i) a lease liability corresponding to the present value of future lease payments; and
(ii) a right-of-use asset.
Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are remeasured when modifications to, or changes in, lease agreements occur. Right-of-use assets are also assessed for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment.
Right-of-use assets
The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the initial amount of the lease liability recognized, any initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date, net of any lease incentives received.
Subsequently, right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities may consist of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts expected to be payable under contractual terms.
After initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and are remeasured when changes in future lease payments arise from lease modifications, changes in the lease term, or changes in relevant indices or rates.
Interest expense
Interest on lease liabilities is recognized as financial expense and allocated over the lease term.
Short-term leases and low-value assets
The Group applies the recognition exemption for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.11 Third party funds
They refer to the balance of the users’ pre-paid accounts and CDB that can be redeemed at any time by the user. These amounts are measured at their redeemable amount and consider the interest payable up to the reporting date, recognized on a pro rata die basis.
3.12 Trade Payables
PicPay ensures timely payments to suppliers, typically within 30 to 90 days, through approval processes, effective cash flow planning and adherence to regulatory requirements. This policy encompasses service providers, operational suppliers, related parties and other suppliers, thereby promoting transparency and ensuring financial sustainability.
Amounts Payable to Acquirers for Credit/Debit Transactions
This section outlines the amounts owed to acquirers resulting from credit and debit card transactions. Transfers to the card network are processed according to the transaction’s installment structure. For Brazilian transactions without installments, settlements are usually completed within 27 days. Foreign transactions are settled within one business day. For installment sales, settlements occur monthly, typically spanning up to 12 months.
3.13 Provisions
Provisions are recognized for present obligations (legal or constructive) resulting from past events, for which it is possible to estimate the amounts reliably and for which settlement is probable. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the end of each reporting period, considering the risks and uncertainties related to the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, an asset is recognized when, and only when, the reimbursement is virtually certain and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenses for the recognition of, or increase in, provisions are recognized in the statement of profit or loss, net of any reimbursement, when applicable.
3.14 Provision for legal and administrative claims
| ● | Contingent assets — They are not recognized in the financial statements, except when their realization is virtually certain; |
| ● | Contingent liabilities — They are only disclosed in the financial statements because possible but unlikely that the group has an obligation, since there are still uncertainties as to whether the Group has an obligation that could lead to an outflow of resources that incorporate economic benefits; |
| ● | Provisions — They are recognized as a liability in the financial statements because they are present obligations and it is probable that an outflow of benefits will be necessary to settle the obligation; |
| ● | Legal obligations (tax and social security) — Liabilities arising from agreements, legislation or other legal action in which the entity has no option but to settle the obligation are recognized as a liability in the financial statements. |
3.15 Income taxes
Income taxes in Brazil consist of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Security Contribution (CSLL). Current income tax is calculated based on the taxable income and a 15%, plus an additional 10% rate on taxable income exceeding R$ 240/year for Corporate Income Tax, and 9% until 20% on taxable income for Social Security Contribution depending on the nature of the company. Tax losses are carried forward indefinitely and can be used to offset current tax amounts, limited to 30% of taxable income for the year.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred Corporate Income Tax and Social Security Contribution on Profits and are recognized in the statement of profit or loss, unless they are related to a business combination or items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax expense is the amount of Corporate Income Tax and Social Security Contribution payable or recoverable related to the taxable income for the period. Cayman Islands local laws do not impose corporate income tax or tax capital gains and therefore there is no income tax impact from this jurisdiction on the Group.

| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Deferred taxes are amounts of tax assets to be recovered and tax liabilities to be paid in future periods. Deferred tax liabilities comprise taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets result from income tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that there will be taxable profit against which they can be realized, based on business plans and projections prepared by the Group, which require the definition of significant assumptions regarding future events and conditions, such as revenue growth and operating margins.
Brazil adopted the rules of Pillar Two, specifically the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT), through the enactment of Law No. 15,079/2024 in December 2024, which came into effect on January 1, 2025. It was determined that a minimum corporate income tax rate of 15% must be paid in each jurisdiction where multinational groups operate. The Group’s operations are primarily conducted in entities subject to income tax and social contribution of Brazil. All the Group’s material entities in Brazil are subject to corporate income tax at 25%. Social contribution is generally levied at 20% for financial entities and 9% for non-financial entities, which exceeds the QDMTT standards, and therefore, Management does not expect any significant impact related to Pillar Two.
The Complementary Law 224/25 has implemented a progressive increase for Social Security Contribution on Profit´s rate applicable to PicPay, from the current 9% to 12% as of April, 2026 until December, 2027 with an additional increase to 15% as of 2028. Therefore, the technical analysis to support the deferred tax asset recognition by PicPay considered the tax rate that will be in force in the estimated year of realization of the temporary adjustments and tax loss carryforward.
3.16 Revenue recognition
The Group provides a number of financial and payment products and services to its customers, which include individuals and businesses. In some of the transactions with its customers the Group acts as the principal responsible for providing the service and in other transactions the Group acts as an agent for a third party.
Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes including Taxes on Services (Imposto Sobre Serviço - ISS), Contribution to the Brazilian government’s Social Integration Program (Programa Integração Social - PIS) and Contribution to the Brazilian government Social Security Program (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social - COFINS).
The main revenue generating products and services are:
1) Revenue from transaction activities and other services:
● Consumer Banking: PicPay generates revenues from transaction fees and commissions through various financial services offered via its platform. These revenues include transaction fees arising when a customer uses a credit card registered in the app to transfer funds or make payments into their digital wallet for use in multiple transactions. PicPay also earns commissions from bill issuers when a bill is paid using the account balance. Transaction fees are recognized once the credit card transaction is approved by the card network and issuing bank, while bill payment commissions are recognized upon settlement of the bill. Additional revenues are generated mainly from premium account subscriptions, cash withdrawals, international remittances, and foreign exchange services.
In addition, PicPay’s Consumer Banking revenues comprise income from the distribution of third-party financial products and interchange fees from credit and debit cards issued to PicPay customers. Regarding third-party financial products, PicPay receives commissions for facilitating loan distribution within the app and is not required to return these commissions in the event of borrower default, as the performance obligation is limited to connecting customers and third parties. For credit and debit card usage, PicPay recognizes interchange fees once the performance obligation to approve the transaction and process the payment is fulfilled, which occurs almost immediately after card use. Such interchange fees, calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount, are retained from the payments made by PicPay to the acquirer to settle the transaction.
Also, the Group recognizes a brokerage fee received from the distribution of investment products within our PicPay Invest platform, and commissions related to the distribution of insurance products from our partners in our financial marketplace.
● Small and Medium-Sized Businesses: Includes revenue related to MDR (merchant discount rate) charges for registered merchants accepting PicPay as a payment network. PicPay’s performance obligation is to facilitate transactions by capturing, processing, and settling transactions to merchants. PicPay receives a variable fee based on the number of installments, merchant size, and segmentation, which it deducts from the amounts paid to the merchant. Regarding corporate benefits, PicPay receives fees and commissions related to corporate benefits for its commercial customers.
PicPay also generates revenues from banking services provided to registered business customers through PicPay business accounts. These revenues include fees charged for the issuance and management of payment slips and fees charged to business accounts.

Regarding business credit and debit cards, PicPay earns transaction-based fees and interchange revenues associated with card usage. Performance obligations are fulfilled when the transaction is approved and processed, which occurs at the point in time when the payment is executed.
● Audiences and Ecosystem Integration: Mainly refers to other commissions related to:
| (1) | PicPay Shop: Marketplace of non-financial services in app where third-party sellers can sell products and services to PicPay through an affiliated model. PicPay captures a take rate (%) of the total purchase volume (GMV) from the third-party sellers which varies according to the agreement with the seller. PicPay acts as an agent in such contacts, offering the good or services of the third-party sellers. PicPay’s performance obligation is fulfilled when the customer uses PicPay’s app for these transactions and the take-rate is recognized as revenue on that date. |
| (2) | PicPay Ads: ads solutions for merchants through in-app display solutions and CRM channels. The Group receives impression fees paid by merchants affiliated in its network. |
2) Financial Income
● Consumer Banking: Revenues from installment payments corresponding to the remuneration the Group earns on credit card payments made in installments by consumers in the digital wallet. In addition, Consumer Banking generates interest income from the loans in its portfolio. Through January 26, 2024, credit cards requested in PicPay’s app and provided under PicPay’s banking correspondent agreement with Banco Original (the issuing bank) granted PicPay a percentage of the interest income received by Banco Original which was recognized as financial income. Following the acquisition of the credit card portfolio described in note 14, PicPay recognizes interest income on its credit card portfolio using the effective interest rate method.
● Small and Medium-Sized Businesses: Includes revenues generated from fees charged by the Group for the prepayment of receivables from credit card transactions accepted by registered merchants.
PicPay also recognizes interest income on its business credit card portfolio using the effective interest rate method.
● Audiences and Ecosystem Integration: Revenues from installment payments corresponding to the remuneration the Group earns on credit card payments made in installments by consumers in PicPay Shop.
● Institutional: Interest income from financial investments executed at the corporate level. Also considers revenues from interest income generated through financial investments (corresponding primarily to the income the Group earns on funds invested in Government bonds and other short-term investments).
Incentives
The Group provides incentives with a variety of characteristics, including cashback, to users to promote its platform. The following criteria are assessed to determine if the incentives are considered to be a component of revenue or are separately presented as marketing expenses: (i) whether the payments are to the customer in exchange for a distinct good or service; (ii) the existence of a performance obligation of the Group to the end user; (iii) whether there is an expectation of specific future contracts as a result of the incentive and (iv) whether the incentives are in substance a payment on behalf of the merchants or other parties involved in the arrangement. If an incentive exceeds the amount of revenue generated by the transaction to which it relates, the excess is recognized as a marketing expense.
3.17 Transaction with related parties
Related party transactions are defined and controlled in accordance with the Group’s related party transaction policy, which establishes certain guidelines that are applicable to transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and related parties, with the purpose to ensure that all transactions are in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and seek the Group’s best interests, ensuring transparency and competitiveness, as well as best corporate governance practices. Furthermore, the Group’s related party transaction policy prohibits transactions with related parties that: (i) are not consistent with market practice and adversely affect the Group’s interests, or (ii) involve a disproportionate compensation.
Intra-group transactions and unrealized income and expenses, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s transactions with related parties are described in note 21.

3.18 Long-term incentive plan (Share-based payment)
Equity-settled awards and cash-settled awards
The Company measures equity settled share-based payment awards at the grant date fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of equity-settled awards was measured at the respective grant dates using a pricing methodology in which the fair value of the incentive can be measured as a percentage of PicPay’s valuation at measurement date (i.e., grant date) taking into consideration the premises of right acquisition subject to the period of acquisition set up by the plan.
The grant date fair value is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. The amount recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that are expected to be vested. At each reporting date, the Company revises the number of awards that are expected to be vested based on the best available information about the fulfilment of the service conditions and the nonmarket performance conditions (the liquidity event).
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company assessed that the liquidity condition (IPO or private placement) was likely to be achieved.
The Company granted the counterparty a share-based payment transaction with an equity component, that is, awards that may be settled through equity instruments and include a debt component.
Under the long-term incentive plan, certain employees were granted the right to choose whether the share-based payment transaction will be settled in cash or through the issuance of equity instruments, which means that the Company granted a compound financial instrument. For the remaining employees, the awards provide only for settlement through the issuance of equity instruments.
In these compound financial instruments, the arrangement includes a debt component (i.e., the counterparty’s right to demand payment in cash) and an equity component (i.e., the counterparty’s right to demand settlement in equity instruments rather than in cash).
For share-based payment transactions, including transactions with employees, the Company shall measure the fair value of the compound financial instrument at the measurement date, taking into consideration the terms and conditions under which the rights to cash or equity instruments were granted.
The Company shall first measure the fair value of the debt component and subsequently measure the fair value of the equity component, considering that the counterparty must forfeit the right to receive cash in order to receive the equity instrument. The fair value of the compound financial instrument is equal to the sum of the fair values of the two components.
The Company shall account separately for the services received in respect of each component of the compound financial instrument. For the debt component, the Company shall recognize the services acquired, and a liability to pay for those services, as the counterparty renders service, in accordance with the requirements applying to cash-settled share-based payment transactions. For the equity component, the Company shall recognize the services received, and an increase in equity, as the counterparty renders service, in accordance with the requirements applying to equity-settled share-based payment transactions.
At the date of settlement, the Company shall remeasure the liability to its fair value. If the Company issues equity instruments on settlement rather than paying cash, the liability shall be transferred directly to equity, as the consideration for the equity instruments issued.
If the Company pays in cash on settlement rather than issuing equity instruments, that payment shall be applied to settle the liability in full. Any equity component previously recognized shall remain within equity. By electing to receive cash on settlement, the counterparty forfeited the right to receive equity instruments. However, this requirement does not preclude the Company from recognizing a transfer within equity, i.e. a transfer from one component of equity to another.
Modifications, cancellations and terminations
Any significant legal change in the regulation of joint-stock companies, public companies, labor relations and/or the tax effects of a share delivery plan may lead to a complete review or modification of the LTIP by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the plan rules. The right to receive the incentive provided for in this regulation and individual terms will terminate automatically and without any right to compensation, ceasing all legal effects, if PicPay is dissolved, liquidated, or declared bankrupt.
Following completion of a qualifying liquidity even, if a beneficiary is dismissed by the Company (other than for cause), resigns, retires or dies, the vested portion of his or her rights under the LTIP at that date will be settled (in shares or in cash, as applicable), while the non-vested portion will be cancelled with no further rights. If a beneficiary is terminated for cause, all of his or her rights under the LTIP, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled with immediate effect.

3.19 Derivative Financial instruments
Derivatives are contracts or agreements whose value is derived from one or more underlying indices or assets referenced in the contract or agreement, which require little or no initial net investment and are settled at a future date. The Group uses the following derivatives only for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments:
Futures - Futures contracts are standardized legal agreements to buy or sell a specific commodity or financial instrument at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future. The Group operates with interest rate futures contracts based on the Interbank Deposit rate in Brazil (DI1).
Swaps - Swap contracts are commitments to settle in cash on a future date or dates the difference between two specified financial indices applied to a notional amount. Within these contracts, the Group has its active position in fixed interest rates and its passive position in the CDI index.
Derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and accounted for as financial assets when the fair value is positive, and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. These instruments are classified at level 2 of fair value.
3.20 Hedge accounting
The Group applies hedge accounting to execute the economic effects of the strategies chosen for risk management. The moment a financial instrument is categorized as a hedge, the Group formally draws up the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and the item(s) being hedged and explicitly establishes its risk management objective and the strategy for carrying out the hedge.
The documentation includes the identification of each hedging instrument and its respective objective, the nature of the risk to be hedged and how the effectiveness of the hedging instrument in offsetting the effects of variations in the value of the target item can be assessed. To this end, the Group assesses both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis whether the hedging financial instruments maintain and will maintain high effectiveness in offsetting changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. The Group elected, as a policy choice permitted under IFRS 9, to continue to apply hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39.
A hedge is considered effective if, from the outset and throughout its existence, the values of the hedged items are expected to be effectively offset by the change in the values of the hedging instruments themselves. If it is no longer feasible to achieve this objective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
When derivatives are held for risk management purposes and the transactions meet the necessary criteria for hedge effectiveness, they can be designated in three categories: (i) hedges of variation in the fair value of assets and liabilities; (ii) hedges of variability in the future cash flows of an asset or liability; and (iii) hedges of net investment in foreign operations. The Group will measure the effectiveness of the hedging relationship by the fair value of the hedged market risk and the hedging instrument (effectiveness test).
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting to protect the pre-fixed rate on certain loans, financial assets and financial liabilities from changes in the CDI rate. The Hedging instruments are DI1 (DI is the average of the interbank lending cost for CDIs “Certificates of Interbank Deposit”) future contracts measured at FVTPL, and the hedged item risk is the fixed component that is measured at fair value for the identified risk. The fair value change of the hedged item is recognized in financial income or financial expense to offset the mark-to-market of the DI1 future contract.
As of December 31, 2025 the Group did not have designated cash flow hedge or net investment hedge strategies.
4. Critical accounting judgments and key estimates and assumptions
In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management must exercise judgment and make estimates which impact the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The underlying estimates and assumptions are reviewed at least annually. The effects resulting from the revisions made to the accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which they are revised.

| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
The following are the principal judgments and estimates made by Management during the process of applying the Group accounting policies which significantly affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
4.1 Fair value of transactions with related parties
The Group holds transactions with Banco Original, which is a related party. Judgment was required to estimate the terms of these transactions as if the same transactions had been made with third parties.
4.2 Consolidation of FIDC FGTS
In accordance with item 6 of IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when it is exposed to, or has rights over, variable returns resulting from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to influence those returns through its power. As detailed in Note 2.2, 'Basis of Consolidation', control is evidenced by the Group's ability to control voting rights, which grants it significant influence over the administrative activities of the Receivables Investment Fund (FIDC FGTS). Additionally, the Group is the holder of all subordinated quotas, which implies that it retains all the risks associated with the operation of the FIDC FGTS. The described operation involves the assignment of receivables to the FIDC FGTS, which is considered a related party. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the PicPay Group and the FIDC FGTS are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. This results in a co-obligation of the Group in relation to the quotas, as the Group is a subordinated quota holder. This subordinated position implies that the Group records both a liability and an expense corresponding to that liability.
The subordinated position not only confirms the Group's financial responsibility but also indicates that it retains control over the receivables transferred to the FIDC FGTS. As a result, the Group continues to include the FIDC FGTS in its consolidated financial statements, reflecting its position of control and its exposure to the risks and returns from the assets of the FIDC FGTS.
4.3 Goodwill impairment analysis
For the purposes of impairment testing, the investments activities were the cash-generating units ("CGU’s") in which goodwill was allocated. Impairment tests were performed and the recoverable amounts for the CGUs have been calculated as described in Note 12. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment in the relevant sector and have been based on data from both external and internal sources. Therefore, the discount rate, cashflow projections, long-term growth rate and other key assumptions may change as economic and market conditions change. The carrying amount and main assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts are described in Note 12.
4.4 Expected Credit Losses - ECL
The Group recognizes expected credit losses (ECL) for credit card receivables and loans to customers. The ECL represents Management's best estimate of the provision at each reporting date
The Group assesses the credit risk of credit card receivables and loans to customers to determine whether credit losses have occurred and to assess the adequacy of the provisions based on the current levels of credit risk, as well as other factors affecting credit losses as described in note 3.5.
4.5 Recognition and evaluation of deferred taxes
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets when there is a reasonable expectation of future taxable profits sufficient to consume the deferred taxes within a specified timeframe.
Concerning the Group's deferred tax liabilities, recognition is mandatory as the liabilities are related to future accrual revenues from DI1 and DDI derivatives that must be taxed as they are realized.
Management has concluded that the significant amount of assets and liabilities deferred tax positions may be realized within the next five years.

| (1) | On January 26, 2024, The Group acquired credit card-related assets from Banco Original. The transaction included only balances from customers with less than 20 days past due and was accounted for as asset acquisition. As a result of the transaction, the credit card operations of retail customers were concentrated in the Company. (Refer to Note 14 for further details). The analysis is based on the expected credit loss in accordance with the principles of IFRS 9 at fair value. |
| (2) | Loans to customers are composed as follows: |
| “Personal loans” are loans of fixed amounts of money either for general purposes or to pay for specific goods or services in a buy now pay later context. Personal loans are typically paid back in regular installments over time. |
| “Payroll loans” are those in which the installments and interest are deducted directly from the consumer’s salary. These loans may be linked to government entities — such as in the case of public servants, pensions, or benefits paid by the government — or to private companies. The ability to deduct payments directly from customer's payrolls significantly enhances credit quality. “FGTS Loans” are loans in which consumers can draw down in advance up to seven annual installments of their FGTS, while authorizing the Group to collect payment of these installments directly from the consumer's FGTS accounts. |
| (3) | Prepayment of receivables correspond to contracts for the advance payment of energy, with future due dates. For more information, please refer to the explanatory note 21.2.1 and 21.3.1. |

All material entities in Brazil are subject to corporate income tax of 25%. Social contribution is generally levied at 20% for financial entities and 9% for non-financial entities. The tax rate used was the one applicable to PicPay Bank, which represents the most significant portion of the operations of the Group. The effect of other tax rates is shown in the table above as “Effect of different tax rates – subsidiaries”.

17.3 Unrecognized deferred tax assets
The Group has unrecognized deferred tax assets in its subsidiaries for which it is not expected that future taxable profits will be sufficient to consume the deferred tax assets in an appropriate period of time. The Group’s unrecognized deferred tax assets, shown on the table below, without expiration date, were calculated on income tax losses and temporary differences at a rate of 34% for Guiabolso (and its subsidiary), and Crednovo; and at a rate of 40% for PicPay Invest.
The reduction in the amount of unrecognized deferred tax assets was due to the recognition of PicPay deferred tax assets presented on Note 10 above.

a) Civil claims
As of December 31, 2025, the Group recognized provisions of R$ 20,239 (R$ 8,256 as of December 31, 2024) for civil claims, the majority of which are claims by customers of compensation for moral and/or material damages. The amount considered as having a possible risk of loss, where no provision is recognized, totals R$ 0 (R$ 145,496 as of December 31, 2024). The Group estimates that the expected disbursement schedule is 18 months.

c) Tax claims
As of December 31, 2025, the Group recognized provisions totaling R$ 211,790 (no amount was provisioned as of December 31, 2024) consisting of R$ 64,334 related to tax contingencies and R$ 147,457 reclassified (R$ 126,966 from labor obligations and R$ 20,491 from taxes payable) to better reflect the status of the claim in light of the current stage of a leading case before the Supreme Court, notwithstanding the favorable decision obtained by PicPay in its own lawsuit; as the Company had already been recognizing the related social security contributions, this reclassification had no impact on the statement of profit or loss, and the provisions recognized refer to tax assessments and ongoing tax disputes assessed as having a probable risk of loss, while contingencies assessed as a possible risk of loss, for which no provision has been recognized, amounted to R$ 133,967 as of December 31, 2025 (R$ 727 as of December 31, 2024).

d) Share based long term incentive plan (LTIP)
PicPay operates a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) for employees from junior to executive levels. The LTIP was established by PicS Ltd on July 1, 2021 and was adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries. The LTIP is designed to support the Group’s long-term success by retaining key talents and aligning employees’ interests with those of the Group.
Under the LTIP, eligible employees may be granted awards that are either equity-settled or cash-settled, depending on the terms of each individual grant and the employee’s role. Awards granted under the LTIP are generally subject to both a service condition, requiring participants to remain actively employed by PicPay throughout the relevant vesting periods; and a non-market performance condition, requiring the occurrence of a qualifying liquidity event, defined as either (a) an initial public offering (“IPO”) of PicPay’s shares, or (b) a private placement of PicPay’s shares to third parties, as specified in the plan rules.
The overall vesting period is 5 years, divided into five annual tranches, each representing 20% of the total award. The first tranche vested after one full year of service from July 1, 2021. PicPay had the ability to elect additional beneficiaries after July 19, 2021, to whom the same vesting schedule applies. For beneficiaries hired after July 1, 2021, vesting periods start on fixed dates depending on the quarter of hire, as set out in the plan rules.
An award is considered vested only when both the service condition and the liquidity condition have been satisfied. Once an award has been vested, settlement (either in shares for equity-settled awards or in cash for cash-settled awards) is made within 30 days following the occurrence of the liquidity event. If the liquidity event occurs after the end of the original five-year vesting period, vested awards remain outstanding and the beneficiaries retain their entitlement, subject to the other terms of the plan.
As of December 31, 2025, management reassessed the likelihood of a qualifying liquidity event, considering the status of the Company’s listing process, prevailing capital market conditions and other relevant factors. Based on this reassessment, management concluded that the occurrence of an initial public offering had become probable within the contractual life of the LTIP. This change in estimate resulted in the initial recognition of the cumulative share-based payment expense for services rendered by employees from the grant dates of the awards through December 31, 2025.

30. Risk management
The Group has a specific structure for risk management, including policies and procedures, covering the evaluation and monitoring of operational, credit, market and liquidity risks (including cash flow and investments of funds held in payment accounts) incurred by the institution.
The Group’s approach to risk management requires that its risk taking be consistent with its risk appetite. Risk appetite is the aggregate level of risk that the Group is willing to tolerate to achieve its strategic objectives and business plan. PicPay’s risks are generally categorized and summarized as follows:
| ● | Credit risk: Refers to the risk of loss resulting from the failure of a borrower, counterparty, third party or issuer to honor its financial or contractual obligations. PicS N.V manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk it is willing to accept for each customer and counterparty as well as limits on the ratio of expected losses to revenues for each segment of the portfolio and on the composition of the portfolio between secured and unsecured credits. Exposures are monitored relative to these limits and adjusted as needed to ensure compliance with the limits. |
| ● | Market risk: Refers to potential losses arising from changes in the value of the Group assets and liabilities as well as adverse impact on net interest income resulting from changes in market variables, such as interest rates, equity, foreign exchange rates or credit spreads. |
| ● | Liquidity risk: Refers to the risk that the Group will not be able to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected current and future cash flow and collateral needs without adversely affecting either daily operations or financial conditions. |
| ● | Operational risk: Refers to the risk of loss resulting from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls fail to operate effectively, operational risks can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications as well as lead to financial loss. |
30.1 Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk arises from its cash, cash equivalents, financial investments, OTC derivatives, acquirer and card issuer receivables, other receivables and loans to its users.
Concentrations of credit risk for similar financial instruments are already being shown in accordance with NE 8.2.1 Credit loss allowance breakdown.
● Cash and cash equivalents
The Risk and Treasury departments manage credit risk associated with bank account balances and investments in financial institutions, prioritizing those with a “AAA” rating from agencies like Moody’s, S&P or Fitch. Because the Group’s accounts receivable mostly consist of high liquidity investments and operational accounts approved by major financial institutions with low-risk ratings, the expected credit loss is not material. Furthermore, these financial institutions are legally responsible for the accounts receivable.
● Financial investments
The Group’s available resources are mostly invested in bonds issued by the Brazilian government and reverse repos collateralized by bonds issued by the Brazilian government. There is no significant expected credit loss recognized for these assets.
● Acquirer and card issuer receivables
The Group recognizes amounts receivable from acquirers related to its activity as a sub-acquirer and from card issuers related to its activities as an acquirer and also when its users use its app to settle bank slips or make other payments using an on-boarded credit card. These receivables are due in up to twelve monthly installments. As a result, the Group is exposed to the risk of default by the acquirers and card issuers.
58
| Pics N.V | |
| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
In its role as a sub-acquirer, the Group uses acquirers of national reach while seeking to avoid concentration in any single acquirer and increase financial efficiency. When acting as sub-acquirer, PicPay processes all credit card transactions with the acquirers Cielo and Getnet and card issuers.
The Group uses only acquirers authorized to operate by BACEN, which are supervised and monitored by BACEN, including with respect to the minimum capitalization required, and which have a national “AAA” rating by the rating agencies (S&P or Fitch). The acquirers may default on their financial obligations due to lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons, situations in which the Group can be held responsible for making the payment due to commercial establishments without having received the corresponding funds from the acquirer.
Until now, the Group has not suffered losses on receivables from acquirers and management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties in addition to the amounts already recognized as chargebacks.
Credit card issuers are supervised by BACEN. The payment arrangements (Visa, Mastercard, Elo and others) have their own risk models and collateral requirements to evaluate and mitigate the default risk of the issuers, which mitigate the risk of the acquirers and the systemic risk of Brazilian payment arrangements. Additionally, the acquires and issuers have others risk mitigators such as:
| ● | Amounts due within 27 days of the original transaction, including those that fall due with the first installment of installment receivables, are guaranteed by the payment arrangement if the legal obligors do not make payment. |
| ● | Processes for mitigating operational failures, such as fraud prevention, limitations on advances on future payments, among others. |
As of December 31, 2025, the Group had an amount receivable totaling R$ 463,663 (R$ 181,572 on December 31, 2024) from the acquirers and R$ 3,273,306 (R$ 3,653,774 on December 31, 2024) from card issuers. Based on the probabilities of default attributed by the rating agencies and the risk mitigation processes presented above, the Group made a provision for expected credit losses in the amount of R$ 397 (R$ 400 on December 31, 2024).
| ● | Consumer Loans |
Consumer loans include: (i) public and private payroll loans, personal loans and FGTS advances; and (ii) credit cards that are transactions in one-payment, installment with interest and installments without interest. Consumers must meet certain credit risk criteria to be eligible for a credit offering.
“Payroll loans” are loans for which the payments of principal and interest are deducted either directly from the consumer’s salary from the payroll of a government-related entity or private company or from their government-sponsored pension or other benefit payments. The ability to collect the payments directly from the payroll significantly enhances the credit quality of these secured loans.
“FGTS advances” are loans in which consumers can draw down in advance up to seven annual installments of their FGTS. The group receives the payment of these installments directly from the FGTS. FGTS advances are collateralized by the deposits held in the FGTS fund.
As of December 31, 2025, the Group had a provision for expected credit losses in the amount of R$ 3,155,386 (R$ 864,220 on December 31, 2024).

| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
● Other receivables
Other receivables relate mainly to transactions involving related parties that are based on conditions negotiated between Group and related companies. In December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group did not record any impairment loss on accounts receivable related to the amounts due from related parties as it understands that there is no significant credit risk on outstanding balances.
Due to the nature of PicPay’s financial services, and the actual counterparty related to its receivables and investments, no significant credit risk increase was observed. Additionally, the Group does not have any credit-impaired financial assets.
The Group’s maximum credit exposure from financial assets, pre-approved credit card limits and derivative financial instruments is presented in the table below:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 3,863,395 | 7,471,673 | ||||||

| Total | 44,252,227 | 29,795,589 | ||||||
30.2 Market risk
The Group may face financial losses due to market fluctuations that affect the value of its financial position. These changes can arise from a variety of factors, the most relevant of which in PicPay’s case is fluctuations in interest rates.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had derivative financial instruments for accounting and economic hedge purposes. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
The risks are identified, quantified, managed and reported as per the Group’s risk management policy. Moreover, these limits are continuously monitored by the Risk function, independently from the treasury.
To monitor and control such market risks, the Group employs various methods, including stress scenarios, sensitivity - delta variation (DV), exposure mismatches (GAP), and measurement and monitoring of interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB).
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that potential changes in interest rates affect the value of a Group’s assets, liabilities, or future cash flows in a way that is detrimental to the Group’s financial position
DV01 or interest rate sensitivity refers to the effect on market valuations of cash flows when there is an increase of one basis point in current benchmark interest rates or in the index. Mathematically, the DV01 measures the change in the value of a portfolio of financial instruments for every 1 basis point (1 basis point is equal to 0.01%) change in interest rates.

To complement the table above, the Group measured the sensitivity to changes in the relevant risk variable that were reasonably possible at that date. The reasonably possible risk variation considered was an increase in 10% and a decrease in 10% in interest rates. For fixed rate instruments the table below presents the sensitivity of the fair value to this plus or minus 10% change. For floating rate instruments, the table below presents the sensitivity of 12 months of interest income / expense (assumes no other changes to balance or rates during this period).

b) Exchange rate risk
Foreign exchange risk is the potential financial loss that can occur due to fluctuations in the exchange rates between different currencies.
The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk arises mainly from the accounts payable corresponding to US Dollar denominated expenses as well as from balances held in dollars in the Group’s USD denominated current accounts.
As of December 31, 2025 the Group had no amounts exposed to foreign currency.

c) Hedge Accounting
The Group maintains portfolios of consumer loans and FGTS advances which are exposed to interest rate risk. In order to hedge that risk The Group entered into future DI contracts and Pre x DI swaps.
Starting in February 2024, PicPay assigned the hedging strategy to an eligible hedge accounting structure aiming to eliminate differences between the accounting measurement of its derivatives and hedged items, which are adjusted to reflect changes in CDI. In accordance with its hedging strategy, the Group adopts the “portfolio layer” method.
This method allows the Group to use part of the portfolio of financial assets as a fair value hedge during the hedging period in the event of events such as prepayment, default or sale of operations. The interest rate risk arising from the portfolio layers is mitigated by purchasing DIV01 futures contracts as a hedging instrument. The number of contracts per net maturity needed to cover exposure is assessed based on DV01.
The Group holds fixed rate Government Bonds (LTNs) and fixed-rate financial liabilities which are exposed to interest rate risk. In order to hedge that risk, the Group entered into DI futures contracts. Starting in December 2024, PicPay assigned the hedging strategy to an eligible hedge accounting structure so as to eliminate differences between the accounting measurement of its derivatives and hedged items. In accordance with the hedging strategy, the Group designates the hedge items on an individual basis.
Starting in November 2025, PicPay also designated hedging strategies for NTNF federal government bonds and for the issuance of subordinated financial letters. Both are exposed to the fixed rate and suffer the risk of variation in the risk-free rate (Pre x DI curve). In order to mitigate this risk, the Group uses DI1 futures contracts as hedging instruments.

In December 2025, the Group acquired energy receivables that were contracted at a fixed rate, generating exposure to the risk of variation in the risk-free rate (Pre x DI curve). In order to mitigate this risk, the Group uses DI1 futures contracts as a hedging instrument. Considering the nature of the receivables acquisition product, events such as prepayment, default or sale of transactions for this portion of the portfolio are not expected, and the existence of receivables in amounts equal to or greater than the designated amounts is continuously proven
The Group calculates the DV01 (delta value of a basis point) of the hedged items and futures contracts to identify the optimal hedging ratio. The hedge relationship is monitored periodically and the hedge is rebalanced as needed to ensure hedge effectiveness within the 80-125% required range.
The effectiveness test of the hedge is performed prospectively and retrospectively. In the prospective test, the Group compares the impact of a 1 basis point parallel shift on the interest rate curve (DV01) on the hedged item and on the hedge instrument market value. For the retrospective test, the market-to-market value change since the inception of the hedged item is compared with that of the hedge instrument. In both cases, the hedge is considered effective if the change in value of the hedge instruments is between 80-125% of the change in value of the hedged items.
For designated and qualifying fair value hedges, the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedging derivative and of the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated financial statements of profit or loss in “interest income and gains (losses) on financial instruments – Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”.

30.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Group will not have sufficient liquid resources to honor its financial commitments.
PicPay’s liquidity management processes include:
| ● | Cash liquidity monitoring: daily update of the cash flow, detailing the inflows and outflows, including the cash projection and stress scenario. |
| ● | Minimum cash limits: which trigger preemptive actions to be taken to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet financial commitments. |
The Group’s projected cash flow is generated and monitored daily by the Treasury to ensure that the Group has the necessary resources to meet financial commitments and operational needs. For the projection of cash, growth assumptions and stress factors are used, which include increased losses and expenses.
The information on financial liabilities is essential information for the projection and management of cash flow, ensuring that the Group has the necessary resources to settle its obligations.
As a cash management procedure, the treasury invests surplus funds in highly quality liquid and unencumbered assets.
The objective of the Group’s liquidity risk management activities is to ensure its ability to meet both expected and unexpected obligations without disrupting daily operations or incurring significant losses.
In order to ensure a sound basis of funding for growth, management has adopted a diversified approach to financing, complementing its main base of deposits, which is predominately made up of retail liabilities. A liquidity risk management policy has been implemented, involving the use of various tools and activities, such as daily cash flow forecasts, liquidity profile monitoring, and maintenance of adequate cash reserves. Any new initiative or product is preliminarily assessed by the market and risk liquidity department.
The treasury department, acting as a first line of defense, is in charge of the implementation of the liquidity management strategy. This approach is coordinated with other sectors, such as risk management, to ensure a sound second line of defense.
The table below shows the expected maturity of the Group’s liabilities. For the deposits that are redeemable immediately, the expected maturity was estimated based on historical data, which was used to estimate, for each vintage of deposits, the probability of the balance remaining for 1 more months given how long it has been in the portfolio.
Considering the earliest date in which customers may exercise their redemption rights, the cash outflows are presented as follows up to 365 days: R$ 27,309,698 (R$ 18,711,067 as of December 31, 2024) and over 365 days: R$ 529,266 (R$ 383,086 as of December 31, 2024).

30.4 Fraud risk
The Group is exposed to several operational risks, one of which is the risk of fraud, which is an undue, illegal or criminal activity that causes a financial loss for one of the parties involved in a financial transaction within the PicPay arrangement. Credit card fraud includes unauthorized use of lost, stolen, fraudulent, counterfeit, or altered cards, as well as misuse of the PicPay user payment account. Within this scenario, the Group is exposed to losses due to transaction chargeback (cancellations).
The chargeback process starts when a user makes a transaction via credit card in the PicPay application and, for reasons unrelated to PicPay, decides to contest the transaction with the card issuer who forwards it to the acquirer who performs the transaction cancellation, reducing the amount of payables it has outstanding with PicPay.
The Group has areas dedicated to preventing fraud strategies and processes which include real-time monitoring of transactions using payment account balances or credit cards for bank slips, withdrawals or transfers between users, analyzing and then approving or declining transactions.
30.5 Capital management
The Group’s capital management objectives are to ensure ongoing compliance with minimum capital requirements set by regulatory authorities, maintain a capital structure appropriate to the risks assumed and support the Group’s operational continuity and stakeholder confidence.
The Group’s subject to the prudential framework defined by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), in accordance with BACEN Resolution No. 200/22 and BACEN Resolution No. 436/24, which establish capital requirements based on factors such as size, operational complexity, and risk profile. The lead entity of the prudential conglomerate is PicPay Payments Institution.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the PicPay Conglomerate became subject to the most conservative capital levels, equivalent to those of large banks in BACENs classification. The change resulted in the PicPay Conglomerate falling short of the necessary capital requirements. In response, the conglomerate presented a plan to BACEN to meet the requirements. The plan was formulated with input from financial experts and received formal approval from the Board of Directors as follows:
| ● | Executed a capital increase of R$ 230,000, with R$ 100,000 on June 28, 2024, and an additional R$ 130,000 on September 19, 2024. More details are disclosed in Note 20 – Equity. |
| ● | Established contingency arrangements whereby the Group’s controllers are prepared to provide additional capital contributions, should the need arise, to ensure ongoing compliance with BACEN’s regulatory capital requirements. |
65
| Pics N.V | |
| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
The Group’s available regulatory capital is composed of the following tiers, which are the numerators of its capital indices:
| ● | Common Equity Tier I Capital: Includes share capital, capital reserves and retained earnings minus regulatory deductions from capital such as intangible assets and deferred tax assets; | |
| ● | Tier I Capital(1): Includes Common Equity Tier I Capital plus Additional Tier I Capital such as perpetual subordinated debt | |
| ● | Total Capital: Includes Tier I Capital plus Tier II capital such as fixed-maturity subordinated debt. |
The group’s Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA), which are the denominator of its capital indices, reflect a bank’s exposure to credit, market, payment services and operational risks. RWA’s are calculated, for credit risk for example, by applying different risk weights to different assets depending on their level of risk, resulting in the Risk-Weighted Assets.
The following table presents the Group’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, calculated according to BACEN’s regulation on capital requirements and accounting, which differs from IFRS in some respects, notably in the scope of consolidation and in the calculation of expected losses.

On December 31, 2025, the total capital ratio was 11.74% (compared to 9.69% on December 31, 2024), which is 1.24 pp above the regulatory requirement of 10.5% (including the conservation buffer of 2.5%), (0.81 pp below the minimum regulatory requirement including the conservation buffer on December 31, 2024).
The tier I ratio(1) was 9.25% (compared to 9.69% on December 31, 2024), which is 0.75 pp above the regulatory requirement of 8.5% (including the conservation buffer of 2.5%), (1.19% above the minimum regulatory requirement including the conservation buffer on December 31, 2024 .
The common equity tier I ratio was 9.25% (compared to 9.69% on December 31, 2024), which is 2.25 pp above the regulatory requirement of 7% (including the conservation buffer of 2.5%), (2.69% above the minimum regulatory requirement including the conservation buffer on December 31, 2024).
The Company monitors and forecasts its capital needs to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and internal target capital ratios, maintaining constant communication with the relevant stakeholders to ensure timely fulfillment of capital needs. As part of this process, subordinated debts (Tier II) amounting to R$ 501,600 were issued in November 2025.
| (1) | The Group has not yet issued Additional Tier I capital instruments, so its Common Equity Tier I capital and Tier I capital are identical. |
30.6 Fair Value Measurement
Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, PicPay measures fair value using the procedures set out below. The objective of the valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Level 1: When available, the Bank uses quoted market prices from active markets to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1.
66
| Pics N.V | |
| Notes to the Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. | |
| (Thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Level 2: quoted prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities or based on another valuation method in which all significant inputs are based on observable market data.
Level 3: when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on internally developed valuation techniques that use, whenever possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, exchange rates and option volatilities. Financial instruments valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest-level input factor that is significant to the valuation. Therefore, an item may be classified as Level 3, even though there may be some significant inputs into its valuation that are easily observable.
The pricing models used to measure fair value are governed by an independent control structure. Fair value estimates from internal valuation techniques are checked, whenever possible, against prices obtained from independent suppliers or brokers. Vendor and broker valuations can be based on a variety of data ranging from observed prices to proprietary valuation models, and the Bank assesses the quality and relevance of this information to determine the fair value estimate.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
The following is a description of the method for determining the fair value of financial instruments. The valuation techniques incorporate estimates of the assumptions that a market participant would use to value the instruments.

| (1) | Interest rate swap contracts are commitments to settle in cash, on a future date or dates, the differential between two specified financial indices (two different interest rates in a single currency or two different rates each in a different currency) applied to a principal reference value. |
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between the fair value measurements of Level I and Level II or between Level II and Level III.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of the swaps is calculated considering the projected cash flows of each of their ends, discounted to present value according to their respective yield curves, which are representative of market conditions. The yield curve calculations use models audited and approved internally by PicPay’s risk management department.
Interest rate futures contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument on a future date, at a contracted price or yield, which can be financially settled. The nominal value represents the face value of the related instrument. This instrument is settled daily in line with changes in market prices.
The main interest rates used in the composition of the yield curves are taken from futures and swaps traded on B3. Adjustments are made to these curves whenever certain points are considered to lack sufficient liquidity to be representative, or, for atypical reasons, do not reasonably represent market conditions.

Credit Risk Adjustment (CVA)
The current standard requires the allocation of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) and Debit Value Adjustment (DVA) for derivative financial instruments. These adjustments are intended to reflect the counterparty’s credit risk and the entity’s own credit risk in the valuations of these instruments.
However, PicPay does not carry out the allocation as there is no derivative exposure with clients. All current derivatives are contracted exclusively with companies in the same economic group. This factor considerably reduces credit risk, since the relationship between the parties involved is one of common control, mitigating potential losses associated with non-compliance with obligations.
Therefore, considering the absence of exposure to external customers and the low materiality of credit risk in intra-group transactions, we believe that there is no need to allocate CVA and DVA to these derivative financial instruments. This approach is based on the Company’s operational reality and the effective assessment of the risk involved.

30.6.1 Offsetting of financial instruments
The balances of financial assets and liabilities can be offset ( i.e. recognized by the net amount) if there is a legally enforceable agreement in which the parties agree to offset the recognized amounts and intend to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group does not have financial instruments that meet the conditions for offsetting.

32. Segment information
Operating segments are determined based on information reviewed by the board of directors, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing business performance.
The CODM monitors the operating results of each segment separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on Adjusted Gross Profit, which is defined as ‘Total revenue and financial income’ less ‘transaction expenses’, ‘interest and other financial expenses’ and ‘credit loss allowance expenses’, all of which are consistent with the same lines in the consolidated statements of profit or loss except for amounts that are not allocated to segments and inter-segment amounts.
The Group’s organizational structure has four reportable segments, which reflect its major business lines, as follows:
| a) | Consumer Banking: generates revenue from various transaction activities occurring in the digital wallet, such as Pix, peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, and bill payments, including when customers use credit cards as a funding source for payments or money transfers, either in one or multiple installments. It also encompasses interest income from financial investments backed by customers’ account balances. In addition, the segment includes interest revenues from credit activities managed by PicPay Bank, fee revenues from distributing third-party credit products in the financial marketplace, interchange fees from prepaid and credit card transactions, and commissions from distributing insurance and investment products from third-party partners on the platform. |
| b) | Small and Medium-Sized Businesses: generates revenues from MDR (merchant-discount rates) charged to merchants accepting PicPay as a payment network. Additionally, it encompasses interchange fees from corporate benefit card transactions, financial income from account balances, and settlement scheduled floating relating to corporate benefits solutions. |
| c) | Audiences and Ecosystem Integration: This segment provides services to all of the Group’s customers, which include consumers and businesses, with the goal of increasing engagement and monetization of both sides of the ecosystem. This segment generates monetization of the audiences by leveraging PicPay’s customer base of consumers and merchants by offering products and solutions such as PicPay Ads, allowing brands and companies to benefit from PicPay’s audience in app and promote its products and services, as well as many others non-financial products. Ecosystem engagement is achieved, for example, through PicPay Shop, which is a platform that allows online merchants to sell their products and services to consumers. |
| d) | Institutional: This segment encompasses revenues, costs and expenses from financial investments and funding activities executed at the Corporate level. The Institutional unit has the role of managing funding and liquidity at the Group level as well as the allocation of liquidity and capital to each segment. |
The Group does not disclose total assets and liabilities by segment since this information is not presented to its CODM.

33. Subsequent events
On January 29, 2026, PicS N.V. completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A common shares on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbol “PICS”. The Company issued and sold 22,857,143 Class A common shares at a public offering price of US$ 19.00 per share (equivalent to R$ 98.71 per share at the exchange rate on the transaction date), resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of R$ 2,256,376 (US$ 434,286) and net proceeds of R$ 2,098,430 (US$ 403,886), after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering costs.
The offering costs were accounted for as a direct deduction from equity, in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As a result of the IPO, the Company’s equity increased in 2026 by the amount of the net proceeds received from the offering.
The IPO occurred subsequent to the reporting period. Accordingly, the issuance of Class A common shares did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or earnings per share for the reporting period presented. However, the IPO resulted in a significant increase in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and equity in 2026 by the amount of the net proceeds received, and will prospectively affect the number of shares outstanding and earnings per share in future periods. On February 18, 2026, the Company invested R$ 1,500,000 in PicPay Bank to support the bank’s growth while meeting regulatory capital requirements. This investment did not impact the consolidated capital position.
On January 29, 2026 Prior to the closing of the offering, the Company's share capital comprised Class A common shares R$ 0.06 (EUR 0.01 nominal value), Class B common shares R$ 0.61 (EUR 0.10 nominal value) and conversion shares R$ 0.55 (EUR 0.09 nominal value). Each Class B common share is convertible into one Class A common share and one conversion share.
Upon completion of the offering, the outstanding share capital of the Company was comprised of 43,135,919 Class A common shares and 86,451,624 Class B common shares. No conversion shares were outstanding after the offering.
Following the offering, the Company's authorized share capital amounted to R$ 225,374 (EUR 36,360), and the Company remained in compliance with applicable Dutch statutory capital requirements.
