Independent Auditors' report on review of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Nu Holdings Ltd.
Cayman Islands
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Nu Holdings Ltd. ("Company") as at March 31, 2026, the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, ´Interim Financial Reporting´. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2026, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

OPERATIONS
Nu Holdings Ltd. ("Company" or "Nu Holdings") was incorporated as an exempted Company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on February 26, 2016. The address of the Company's registered office is Willow House, 4th floor, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman - Cayman Islands. Nu Holdings has no operating activities with customers. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the "Group" or "Nu".
The Company's shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "NU". The Company holds investments in several operating entities and, as of March 31, 2026, its significant operating subsidiaries were:
Nu's business plan provides for the continued growth of its Brazilian, Mexican, and Colombian operations, both through the expansion of its existing product lines, including, credit card, personal loans, investments, and insurance, as well as the introduction of new products. The business plan also contemplates the potential international expansion into new geographies as part of the Group's long-term growth strategy. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption of the Group continuing as a going concern.
On January 29, 2026, Nu received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") of the United States for the formation of a national bank. The conditional approval is aligned with the Company's strategy to expand its operations and product offerings in the United States. Once the OCC's conditions are satisfied and final approval is granted, the national bank charter will enable Nubank to operate under a comprehensive federal regulatory framework and facilitate the offering of deposit accounts, credit cards, lending products and digital-asset custody services.
The Company's Board authorized the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on May 14, 2026.
Seasonality
The Company's business is affected by customer behavior throughout the year and demonstrates seasonality effects. Historically, Nu benefits from higher purchase volume and related revenue in the fourth quarter of the year due to the holiday season. However, Nu's high historical growth has masked this seasonality in the past, and this may become more pronounced in the future. As a result of seasonality fluctuations caused by these and other factors, comparisons of the results of operations across different periods may not be accurate indicators of future performance. As the Company diversify its business across product lines, seasonality may be reduced.
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - Accounting Standards (IFRS - Accounting Standards) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). However, selected condensed explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the issuance of its last annual financial statements.
The Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Financial Statements").
Functional currency and foreign currency translation
Nu Holding's functional and presentation currency
Nu Holdings does not have any direct customers, and its main direct activities are (i) investing in the operating entities in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, as well as in other countries, (ii) financing, either equity or debt, and (iii) the payment of certain general and administrative expenses. As a result, these are considered its primary and secondary activities, and all of them are substantially based in US Dollars ("US$"), which was selected as the functional and presentation currency of Nu Holdings.
Subsidiary's functional currency
For each subsidiary of the Group, the Company determines the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity ("functional currency"). Items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency of the Brazilian operating entities is the Brazilian real, the Mexican entities is the Mexican peso, and the Colombian entity is the Colombian peso.
Translation of transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions and balances are translated in two consecutive stages:
The main criteria applied to the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries to US$ are as follows:
New or revised accounting pronouncements and relevant matters adopted in 2026:
The following new or revised accounting standards issued by IASB, were effective for the period covered by these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and had no significant impact.
Other new or revised accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective:
These amendments are effective as of January 1, 2027. Management does not expect the adoption of the amendments described above to have a significant impact, other than additional disclosures, on the Group's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The new standard replaces IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and determines a new structure for the statement of income by categorizing it into predefined sections: operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations, and income tax. It also requires the disclosure of management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in a single note within the financial statements. These amendments will take effect on January 1, 2027. The Group is reviewing the impacts of the new standard, and structuring action plans for its adoption.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounting balances of Nu Holdings and all those subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control, directly or indirectly. Control is achieved where the Company has (i) power over the investee; (ii) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) can use its power to affect its profits.
The Company re-assesses whether it maintains control of an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three above mentioned elements of control.
The consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over it and ceases when the Company loses control over it. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the reporting period are included in the consolidated statements of income from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
The financial information of the subsidiaries was prepared for the same period as the Company and consistent accounting policies were applied. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are fully consolidated with those of the Company. Accordingly, all balances, transactions and any unrealized income and expenses arising between consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation, except for foreign-currency gain and losses on translation of intercompany loans. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, when applicable.

The interest owned by other investors in these entities are presented as non-controlling interests in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Nu Pagamentos, Nu Financeira, and Nu Investimentos, Brazilian subsidiaries, are regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil ("BACEN"); Nu Mexico Financiera, a Mexican subsidiary, is regulated by both the Mexican Central Bank ("BANXICO") and Mexican National Banking and Stock Commission ("CNBV"); Nu Colombia, a Colombian subsidiary, is regulated by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia ("SFC"); and as such, there are some regulatory requirements that restrict the ability of the Group to access and transfer assets freely to or from these entities within the Group and to settle liabilities of the other entities of the Group.
In addition, the Company consolidated investment funds as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, in which the Group's companies hold a substantial interest or the entirety of the interests and are therefore exposed, or have rights, to variable returns and, have the ability to affect those returns through power over the funds. As of March 31, 2026, the non-controlling interests portion relating to investment fund quotas is disclosed as "Obligations for quotas of investment funds" in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and therefore should be read in conjunction.
In addition to those accounting policies, in March 2026, the Group adopted a new accounting policy related to the hedge of net investments in foreign operations, as described below.
Hedge of net investment in foreign operations: The Group adopted and designates certain derivatives as hedges of net investment in foreign operations, more specifically to hedge its operations in Brazilian reais. Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for in a similar way to cash flow hedges. The effective portion of gains and losses on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income. Gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statements of income on the disposal, or partial-disposal, of the foreign operation.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires judgments, estimates, and assumptions from management that affect the application of accounting policies, and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to the estimates are recognized prospectively.
The significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were the same as those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements.
Credit losses on financial instruments for credit card receivables and loans to customers
The Group recognizes the expected credit losses ("ECL") on credit cards receivables and loans to customers that represents management's best estimate of allowance as of each reporting date.
Management performs an analysis of the credit card and loan amounts to determine if credit losses have occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance based on historical and current trends as well as other factors affecting credit losses.
Key areas of judgment
The critical judgments made by management in applying the ECL methodology are:
The macroeconomic information used to gauge the determination of the probability weights to be given in the different macroeconomic scenarios and the respective weights;
Definition of default;
Definition of significant increase in credit risk and credit card lifetime; and
Look-back period, used for parameters estimation (probability of default - PD, exposure at default - EAD and loss given default - LGD).
Sensitivity analysis
On March 31, 2026, the ECL for credit card receivables and loans to customers totaled US$6,101,244, of which US$4,165,671 related to credit card receivables and US$1,935,573 to loans to customers. The ECL is sensitive to the methodology, assumptions and estimations underlying its calculation. One key assumption is the probability weighting of the macroeconomic scenarios between upside, base and downside as the carrying amount of the expected credit loss is determined based on the weighted average of these scenarios. Such weightings reflect management's perception about the current and future expectations of the macroeconomic environment in each of the geographies the Group operates. The table below illustrates the ECL based on the weighted average of these three macroeconomic scenarios and the ECL that would have arisen if management had applied a 100% weighting to each macroeconomic scenario.

The Company has instruments that will become common shares upon exercise, acquisition, conversion (Stock Options - "SOPs" and Restricted Stock Units - "RSUs" described in note 10), or satisfaction of specific business combination conditions. The effects of the potentially dilutive instruments were calculated using the treasury stock method and are included in the total weighted average of ordinary outstanding shares for diluted earnings per share ("EPS") if the effects are considered dilutive. The antidilutive instruments not considered in the weighted number of shares correspond to the total number of shares that could be converted into ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of those instruments. Instruments are considered antidilutive if the average market value of ordinary shares during the period is less than the average value of the assumed proceeds (fair value of services that will be recognized as a cost in future periods plus exercise price multiplied by the number of options and shares to be issued on exercise of the options).
10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Share-settled awards
The Group's employee incentives include share settled awards in the form of stock, offering them the opportunity to purchase ordinary shares by exercising options (SOPs), receiving ordinary shares (RSUs) upon vesting, and receiving shares upon the achievement of market conditions and passage of time ("Awards").
The cost of the employee services received with respect to those share-based compensation payments is recognized in the statements of income over the period that the employee provides services and according to the vesting conditions. The Group also issued Awards in 2020 that grant shares upon the achievement of market conditions related to the valuation of the Company. RSUs incentive was implemented in 2020 and is the main incentive since then.
The terms and conditions of the RSUs plans require the Group to withhold shares from the settlement to its employees to settle the employee's tax obligation. Accordingly, the Group settles the transaction on a net basis by withholding the number of shares with a fair value equal to the monetary value of the employee's tax obligation and issues the remaining shares to the employee on the vesting date. The employee's tax obligation associated with the RSUs is calculated substantially based on the expected employee's personal tax rate and the fair value of the shares on the vesting date. In addition, for the countries where the Group is required to pay taxes and social security taxes over vested RSUs, the Group recognizes expenses related to corporate and social security taxes on the applicable awards, calculated mainly by applying the tax rates to the fair value of the ordinary shares at the reporting dates, and presents them as "Share-based compensation" between "Customer support and operations", "General and administrative expenses" and "Marketing expenses" in the consolidated statements of income.
There were no changes to the terms and conditions of the SOPs and RSUs after the grant date. The changes in the number of SOPs and RSUs are as follows. WAEP is the weighted average exercise price and WAGDFV is the weighted average fair value at the grant date.

Expected credit loss - by stages
As of March 31, 2026, the credit card ECL totaled US$4,165,671 (US$3,528,001 as of December 31, 2025). The provision is estimated using consistently applied modeling techniques, and is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.
The amount that the expected credit loss represents in comparison to the Group's gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases. This metric is considered a key risk indicator and it is monitored across multiple committees, supporting the decision-making process and is discussed in the Group's credit forums.
The explanation of each stage is set out in the Company's accounting policies, as disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

The "Net increase of loss allowance" is distributed considering the stages at the end of the period, except in (c), which is calculated considering the stages at the beginning of the year.
Considers all accounts originated from the beginning to the end of the period. ECL effects presented in the table were calculated as if risk parameters at the beginning of the period were applied.
Reflects the movements in exposure (both drawdown and undrawn limits) of accounts that existed in the beginning of the period. ECL effects were calculated as if risk parameters of the exposures at the beginning of the period were applied.
Changes to models that occurred during the period include, primarily, the calibration of ECL parameters to reflect more recent risk and recovery data, the changes in the Company's underwriting policies and in the collections strategies.
The following tables present changes in the gross carrying amount of the credit card portfolio to demonstrate the effects of the changes in the loss allowance for the same portfolio as presented above. "Net change of gross carrying amount" includes drawdown, payments, and interest accruals.

20. DERIVATIVES
The Group executes transactions with derivative financial instruments, which are intended, in their majority, to meet its own needs to reduce its exposure to market, currency and interest-rate risks. These instruments include, among others, Non-Deliverable Forwards ("NDFs"), options, swaps, and futures.
The derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those designated in cash flow and net investment hedge strategies, for which the effective portion of gains or losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. For derivatives designated in fair value hedge strategies, changes in the fair value of both the hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the statements of income. These risks are managed through the establishments of limits, and operating strategies.
The Group applies hedge accounting to: (i) hedge the interest rate risk of certain government bonds, converting fixed-rate returns into floating rates through interest rate derivatives (fair value hedge); (ii) hedge the foreign currency risk arising from forecast transactions related to cloud infrastructure, intercompany transactions and certain software licenses, designated as (cash flow hedge); (iii) hedge future cash disbursements related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes arising from RSU vesting or SOP exercise, designated as cash flow hedge and (iv) hedge the foreign currency risk arising from a designated portion of the Group's net investment in its Brazilian operations, designated as net investment hedge, as shown below.
Derivative instruments are presented within Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the statement of financial position. The hedged items in the fair value hedge of interest rate risk are presented within Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and Financial assets at amortized cost (note 12).
Hedge ineffectiveness and gains and losses on derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized within Interest income and gains net of losses - financial instruments at fair value (note 6).
The effective portion of cash flow hedges is recognized within the cash flow hedge reserve, and the effective portion of the net investment hedge is recognized within the net investment hedge reserve, both presented in the statement of changes in equity. Reclassifications from the cash flow and net investment hedge reserve are presented in the line items disclosed in the tables below.

Hedge of foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on forecast transaction expenses, related to the cloud infrastructure, certain software licenses, and intercompany expenses. The Group manages its exposure to the variability in cash flows of foreign currency forecasted transactions to movements in foreign exchange rates by entering into foreign currency exchange rate contracts (exchange futures). These instruments are entered into to match the cash flow profile of the estimated forecast transactions and are exchange-traded with fair value movements settled on a daily basis.
The Group applies hedge accounting to the forecasted transactions related to its main cloud infrastructure contract and other expenses in foreign currency including intercompany expenses. Hedge effectiveness is assessed monthly by analyzing the critical terms. The critical terms of the hedging instrument and the amount of the forecasted hedged transactions are significantly the same. Derivatives are generally rolled over monthly. Swaps and NDFs are liquidated or settled in accordance with the specific maturity of each contract. They are expected to occur in the same fiscal month as the maturity date of the hedged item. Therefore, the hedge is expected to be effective. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness are performed by verifying and documenting whether the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted hedged transaction have changed during the period under review and whether the forecast transaction remains probable. If there are no such changes in critical terms, the Group will continue to conclude that the hedging relationship is effective. Sources of ineffectiveness are differences in the amount and timing of forecast and actual payment of expenses.
The notional amounts of the FX futures contracts are designated to match the amount of the forecasted foreign currency expenses being hedged. No hedging relationships were discontinued during the period and no forecasted transactions previously designated have ceased to be expected to occur.

Hedge of corporate and social security taxes over share-based compensation
The Group's hedge strategy is to cover the future cash disbursements related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes at RSU vesting arising from the variation in the Company's share price volatility. The derivatives used to cover the exposure are total return swaps ("TRS") in which one leg is indexed to the Company's stock price and the other leg is indexed to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread. The stock fixed in the TRS is the weighted average price. The hedge was entered into by Nu Holdings and therefore there is no income tax effect.
The Group applies the cash flow hedge for the hedge structure, and therefore the market risk is replaced by interest rate risk. The effectiveness assessment is performed monthly by (i) assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; (ii) monitoring the credit risk impact in the hedge effectiveness; and (iii) maintaining and updating the hedging ratio. Given the possibility of forfeiture impacting the future cash forecasted of the employee benefit plan, the Group manages exposures to keep the hedging level within an acceptable coverage range. The derivative fair value is measured substantially based on the stock price which is also used in the measurement of the provision or payment of, corporate and social security taxes. The Group does not expect a mismatch between the hedged item and hedging instrument at maturity other than the SOFR.
The notional amount of the equity leg of the total return swaps is designated to match the share-based compensation amount expected to vest. Sources of ineffectiveness include changes in forfeiture assumptions affecting the volume of expected vesting, the SOFR leg of the TRS, and timing differences between TRS settlement dates and the cash disbursement of corporate and social security taxes. No hedging relationships were discontinued during the period and no forecasted transactions previously designated have ceased to be expected to occur.

Hedge of interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its portfolio of certain fixed-rate government bonds classified as securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and at amortized cost. To manage changes in the fair value of these bonds arising from market interest rate movements, the Group enters into interest rate swaps ("IRS") that convert the fixed returns of the bonds into floating rates aligning the yield profile of the securities with the Group's risk management strategy.
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting to these government bonds. Under this strategy, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value to the interest rate risk, with the gain or loss recognized in the statements of income, where it offsets the fair value movements of the interest rate swaps.
Hegde effectiveness of the hedging is assessed periodically. The Group compares the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps with the changes in the fair value of the government bonds attributable to the hedged risk and ensures that the critical terms of the hedging instruments and the hedged items (such as notional amounts, maturity dates, and payment frequencies) are closely aligned. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness are performed to verify that the hedging relationship remains effective throughout its duration. Sources of ineffectiveness may include basis risk, differences in interest rate curves, and potential timing differences in the settlement of the instruments. The ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statements of income.
The notional amount of the interest rate swaps is designated to match the principal amount of the government bonds being hedged. The hedged interest rate component has historically represented substantially all of the fair value changes of the bonds attributable to the hedged risk, as they are sovereign bonds with no credit risk.

Hedge ineffectiveness is recognized within "Interest income and gains net of losses on financial instruments" in the statements of income, presented as "Interest income and gains net of losses - financial instruments at fair value" on note 6. No hedged items ceased to be adjusted for hedging gains and losses during the periods presented.
Hedge of net investment in foreign operations
The Group applies hedge accounting to the net investment in a foreign operation in Brazil for changes in spot exchange rates. Hedging is undertaken for the Group's structural exposure to changes in the U.S. dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate using NDFs. An economic relationship exists between the hedged net investment and the hedging instrument due to the shared foreign currency risk exposure. The effective portion of gains and losses on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of income.
Sources of hedge ineffectiveness in net investment hedging relationships may include: (i) mismatches between the notional amount of the designated hedging instrument and the carrying amount of the designated layer of the net investment, including those arising from post-designation changes in the net assets of the foreign operation such as retained earnings movements; (ii) differences between the NDF contract maturity and the hedging designation period, including effects arising from the rollover of hedging instruments across reporting periods; and (iii) changes in the credit risk of the counterparty to the NDF contract, which affect the fair value of the hedging instrument but have no corresponding effect on the value of the hedged net investment. The forward element of the NDF contracts is excluded from the designated hedge relationship and accounted for separately under the cost of hedging approach.
A portion of US$1,813,110 of the Group's net investment in its Brazilian operations is designated as the hedged item. The notional amount of the NDFs are designated to match this portion of the investment

RDBs are investment products available within NuAccount offering either daily liquidity or fixed future maturity options. Deposits in RDB are guaranteed under limits from the Brazilian Deposit Guarantee Fund ("FGC"). Unlike the deposits from customers, Nu is required to follow the compulsory deposits requirements for RDB deposits (see note 15). However, there is no obligation to invest the remaining balance in government securities or to hold it in a specific account at the Central Bank of Brazil. As such, these amounts can be used as a financing source for loan and credit card operations.
Deposits from customers refers to NuAccount, which is a prepaid account available in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, in which customers can deposit funds and invest in specific products, such as RDBs in Brazil.
In Brazil, the amounts deposited by customers are classified as electronic money and must be allocated to government securities (see note 12b) or in a specific account maintained at the Central Bank of Brazil (see note 15), in accordance with Brazilian regulatory requirements. In Colombia, NuAccount balances are required to have a percentage of the deposits from the public in an account with the Colombian Central Bank, which is a class of compulsory deposits. The interest paid on NuAccount in Colombia ranged from 8.8% to 9.3% per year as of March 31, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025, the interest paid ranged from 8.3% to 8.8% per year).
In Mexico, NuAccount balances are not required to be invested in specific assets; and therefore, they can be used as a financing source for the credit card transactions. The balances deposited in "Cajitas" yield from 7.0% to 13.0% per year as of March 31, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025, the balances yielded from 7.3% to 15.0% per year). "Cajitas" has daily yield accrual and can have daily liquidity or defined future maturity.
The interest paid on both NuAccount and RDB deposits (except fixed term RDBs) is 100% of the Brazilian CDI rate as of the initial date if the balances are kept for more than 30 days. There are also RDBs with a defined future maturity date, which have a maturity of up to 46 months and a weighted average interest rate of 104% of the Brazilian CDI rate as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
The Bank certificate of deposit (CDB) is issued by Nu Financiera and primarily distributed by Nu Investimentos.
Interbank deposits refer to a wholesale time deposit from another financial institution, entered into as part of a treasury strategy to hedge the mark-to-market variability of sovereign notes posted as collateral on margin loans.

Deferred revenue from rewards program relates to the Group's rewards programs for its credit card customers, specifically the "Nubank+" and "Ultravioleta". Under these programs, members earn points according to the use of the credit card, that can be redeemed for cashback or converted into air miles. The points do not expire and there is no cap on the number of points an eligible card holder can earn.
Nu uses financial models to estimate the redemption rates of rewards earned to date by current card members, and, therefore, the estimated financial value of the points, based on historical redemption trends and current enrollee redemption behavior, among others. The estimated financial value is recorded in the statement of income when the performance obligation is satisfied (that is, at the time the reward points are redeemed).

RELATED PARTIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Group issues credit cards or loans to Nu's executive directors, board members, key employees, and close family members. Those transactions, along with deposits and other products, such as investments, are conducted on similar terms as those offered to unrelated third parties under similar circumstances and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability.
As described in note 3, Basis of Consolidation, all entities within the Group are consolidated in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, related party balances and transactions, as well as unrealized gains or losses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The main valuation techniques employed in internal models to measure the fair value of the financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are set out below. The principal inputs into these models are derived from observable market data. The Group did not make any material changes to its valuation techniques and internal models in the periods presented.
Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost
The following tables show the fair value of the financial instruments carried at amortized cost as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Group has not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments such as compulsory and other deposits at central banks, other receivables, other financial assets at amortized cost, deposits from customers, RDB, interbank deposits and repurchase agreements, as the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The valuation approach to specific categories of financial instruments is described below.
Fair value models and inputs
Credit card receivables and payables to network: The fair values of credit card receivables and payables to network are calculated using the discounted cash flow method. Fair values are determined by discounting the contractual cash flows by the interest rate curve and credit spread. For payables, cash flows are also discounted by the Group's own credit spread.
Loans to customers: Fair value is estimated based on groups of customers with similar risk profiles, using valuation models. The fair value of a loan is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows by the interest rate curve and a credit spread.
Securities: Comprise sovereign notes and bonds held to collect. The fair value is given by observed market prices, when available, or by discounting future cash flows using both the risk free interest rate curve for the respective settlement currency, and the CDS-built (Credit Default Swaps) credit spread for the respective sovereign entity that issued the note.
Bank certificate of deposit (CDB): Fair value is given by discounting future cash flows using risk free interest rate plus issuance observed spreads.
Borrowings and financing: Fair value is measured using the discounted cash flow method, with contractual cash flows discounted at the interest rate curve and a spread.
Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value
The following table shows a summary of the fair values, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, of the financial assets and liabilities indicated below, classified on the basis of the various measurement methods used by the Group to determine their fair value:

i) Fair value models and inputs
Securities: Securities with high liquidity and quoted prices in the active markets are classified as Level 1. All government bonds and certain corporate bonds are included in Level 1 as these are traded in active markets. For Brazilian securities, fair values are based on prices published by the "Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais" ("Anbima"). For United States, Mexico and Colombia bonds, fair values are based on prices published by Bloomberg, Valmer and Precia, respectively. Other corporate bonds and investment fund shares, for which fair values are calculated based on observable data, such as interest rates and interest rate curves are classified as Level 2. The investment funds that used contractual conditions as inputs that are not directly observable in the market are classified as Level 3. The debenture whose issuer has entered judicial reorganization, is classified as Level 3 because its market price is not directly observable under these circumstances.
Derivatives: Exchange-traded derivatives are classified as Level 1 with valuations based on market quotes. Derivatives traded on the Brazilian stock exchange are measured at fair value using the Brazilian securities exchange, "Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão" ("B3"), quotations. Swaps are valued by discounting future expected cash flows to present values using interest rate curves and are classified as Level 2. Total Return Swaps are also valued by discounting expected cash flows, with the particularity that the equity leg expected cash flow is based on the last observed price, following non-arbitrage principles. Call options and Warrants are valued using internal models with unobservable inputs and premises, and classified as Level 3.
Equity instrument: The fair value of the equity instrument is determined using contractual conditions as inputs that are not directly observable in the market, and therefore classified as Level 3.
Reconciliation of fair value measurements in Level 3
The table below shows a reconciliation from the opening to the closing balances for recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
For the three-month periods ended on March 31, 2026 and 2025 there were no material transfers of financial instruments between levels.
INCOME TAX
Current and deferred taxes are determined for all transactions that have been recognized in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements using the provisions of the current tax laws. The current income tax expense or benefit represents the estimated taxes to be paid or refunded, respectively, for the current period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. They are measured using the tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary tax differences and tax loss carryforward are expected to reverse.
Income tax reconciliation
The tax on the Group's pre-tax profit differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities. Thus, the following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit for the period, calculated by applying the combined Brazilian income tax rate of 40% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The tax rate used was the one applicable to the Brazilian financial subsidiaries, which represents the most significant portion of the operations of the Group. The tax rate used is not materially different from the average effective tax rate considering all jurisdictions where the Group has operations. The effect of other tax rates is shown in the table above as "Effect of different tax rates - subsidiaries and parent company."
Result of the change in the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL) tax rate in future taxable temporary differences for payment institutions and credit, financing and investment companies regulated by Law No. 12,865/13 due to the enactment of Complementary Law No. 224/2025 in Brazil. For payment institutions, the rates are 9% until 2025 and 12% for the 2026 and 2027 period and 15% from 2028 onwards, while for credit, financing and investment companies, the rates are 17.5% for the 2026 and 2027 period and 20% from 2028 onwards.
Primarily related to non-taxable interest income on sovereign bonds, tax incentives and non-taxable interests on tax recoverable.
Deferred income taxes
The following tables present significant components of the Group's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the changes for both periods. The accounting records of deferred tax assets on income tax losses and/or social contribution loss carryforwards, as well as those arising from timing differences, are based on technical feasibility studies which consider the expected generation of future taxable income, considering the history of profitability for each subsidiary individually. The use of the deferred tax asset related to tax loss and negative basis of social contribution is limited to 30% of taxable profit per year for the Brazilian entities and there is no time limit to use it.

MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, AND OTHER RISKS
Overview
The Group monitors risks that could materially impact strategic objectives or regulatory compliance. To efficiently manage and mitigate these risks, the risk management structure identifies and assesses the risks based on their potential impact on financial results, capital, liquidity, customer relationships, and reputation. This prioritization aims to ensure that the Group captures opportunities while mitigating threats to its strategic pillars.
Risk management structure
Risk Management is a fundamental pillar of the Group's strategic governance. The risk management framework is integrated across the entire Group with the objective of ensuring that risks are consistently identified, measured, mitigated, monitored, and reported. This continuous process is embedded in the Group's culture and decision-making structures, aiming to minimizing losses, maximizing profitability, and reinforcing the Group's core values.
The Group's risk management structure considers the size and complexity of its business, which allows tracking, monitoring, and control of the risks to which it is exposed. The risk management process is aligned with management guidelines, which, through committees and other internal meetings, define strategic objectives, including risk appetite. Conversely, the capital control and capital management units provide support through risk and capital monitoring and analysis processes.
The Group considers a Risk Appetite Statement ("RAS") to be an essential instrument to support risk management and decision making. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the RAS, as guidelines and limits for the business plan and capital deployment. Nu has defined a RAS that prioritizes the main risks and, for each of these, qualitative statements and quantitative metrics expressed in relation to earnings, capital, risk measures, liquidity, and other relevant measures were implemented, as appropriate.
Risks actively monitored
Risks that are actively monitored by the Group include Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book ("IRRBB"), Foreign exchange ("FX"), Operational, IT and Cyber, Regulatory, Compliance and Anti-money laundering ("AML"), Reputational Risk, Model Risk and Risk from Cryptocurrency business. The management of these risks is carried out according to the three-line model, considering policies and procedures in place, as well as the limits established in the RAS. Also, there is a Stress Testing program in place.
Each of the risks described below has its own methodologies, systems and processes for its identification, measurement, evaluation, monitoring, reporting, control, and mitigation.
In the case of financial risks, such as credit, liquidity, IRRBB and market, the measurement is undertaken based on quantitative models and, in certain cases, prospective scenarios in relation to the main variables involved, respecting the applicable regulatory requirements and best market practices. Non-financial risks, such as operational risk and technological/cyber risks, are measured using impact criteria (inherent risk), considering potential financial losses, reputational damage, customer perception, and legal/regulatory obligations, as well as evaluated in relation to the effectiveness of the respective structure of internal controls.
There were no significant changes to the risk management structure from what was reported in Annual Financial Statements.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as:
The liquidity risk management structure uses future cash flow data, applying what the Company believes to be a severe stress scenario to these cash flows, to measure whether the volume of high-quality liquid assets that the Group holds is sufficient to ensure its financial resilience. The liquidity indicators are monitored daily, using procedures approved by Management, and compared with the approved limit structure, in accordance with the Group's declared risk tolerance.
Among the main liquidity indicators, Nu uses:
The Group has a detailed Contingency Funding Plan for each entity, outlining management actions that must be taken in response to a deterioration of the liquidity indicators.

In accordance with regulatory requirements and in guarantee of these deposits, the Group holds the total amount of US$96,516 in eligible securities composed of Brazilian government bonds as described in note 12b, under a dedicated account within the Central Bank of Brazil as of March 31, 2026 (US$93,955 as of December 31, 2025).
Considering the earliest date in which the customer can withdraw the deposit.
The total was projected considering the exchange rate of Brazilian Reais, Mexican and Colombian Pesos to US$ as of March 31, 2026.
Includes the units held by non-controlling interests in investment funds that are more likely to be redeemed in the short term and can be redeemed at any time.
The unused limit of credit cards is the pre-approved limit that has not yet been used by the customer and represents the current maximum potential credit exposure. Therefore, it does not represent the real need for liquidity arising from commitments. When customers reach their limits, the expected duration of the credit card receivables is shorter than the duration of the payables to network.
In view of the asset allocation profile presented above, the Group establishes a funding plan with the aim of maintaining a healthy financial position in the short and long term. The main source of funding is the deposit franchise (Deposits in electronic money and Bank receipt of deposits), which the Group aims to match with a liquidity cushion on the asset side. Securities are mainly composed of Government Bonds, which may have longer maturities, as demonstrated in the table above, but are traded in a market that has historically had high liquidity.
Additionally, despite being contractually redeemable in the short term, the Group considers deposits balance to be a growing financing instrument, used alongside other debt issuances to guarantee a proper mix of funding sources.
The Group monitors and utilizes this information as part of its mechanism for managing liquidity risk.
Market risk and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)
The table below presents the Value at Risk ("VaR") calculated using a confidence level of 99% and a holding period of 10 days. The calculation is performed using a filtered historical simulation approach, based on a 5-year historical window. For Brazil, VaR is calculated only for the Trading Book, while in Mexico it is presented for the Available for Sale portfolio, in line with regulation and portfolio management strategies.

Foreign exchange (FX) risk
The financial information may exhibit volatility due to the Group's operations in foreign currencies, such as the Brazilian real and the Mexican and Colombian pesos. At the Nu Holdings level, net investment hedge is adopted only for a portion of the investments in Brazilian companies.
Expenses in other currencies (US$ and EUR) are hedged within a hedge accounting framework, but other economic hedge relationships exist and are governed by an FX residual exposure framework within the market risk management structure. A non-exhaustive list comprises loans, bonds, cash accounts, and time deposits in other currencies than the functional currency of each entity, and the total exposure is always kept within the tolerance level defined by the Group on this instance.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, none of the entities of the Group had significant unhedged FX exposures in currencies other than their respective functional currencies.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The purpose of capital management is to maintain the capital adequacy for Nu's operation through control and monitoring of the capital position, to evaluate the capital necessity according to the risk appetite and strategic aim of the organization, and to establish a capital planning process. Accordingly, future requirements of regulatory capital are assessed based on the Group's growth projections, risk exposure, market movements, and other relevant information. Also, the capital management structure is responsible for identifying sources of capital, writing and submitting the capital plan and the capital contingency plan for approval by the Executive Directors.
Regulatory Capital Composition
The Company is not subject to specific regulatory capital requirements; however, the regulated subsidiaries in each country must comply with local rules. The capital adequacy of the regulated subsidiaries are detailed below.

The regulatory capital of the prudential conglomerate, defined by Brazil's Central Bank, consists of three key components:
As a Type 3 prudential conglomerate, Nu Pagamentos is subject to the capital adequacy requirements established by the BCB on a consolidated basis. The Group is in full compliance with all applicable prudential capital rules.
