Independent Auditors’ report on review of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
To Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Nu Holdings Ltd.
Cayman Islands
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position of Nu Holdings Ltd. (“Company”) as of June 30, 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income or loss for three and six-month period ended, changes in equity and cash flows for the three and six-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’ issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 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 (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 financial information 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 of June 30, 2024, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

3. 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 profit or loss 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 subsidiaries below are the most relevant entities included in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements:

Nu Pagamentos, Nu Financeira, Nu DTVM, Nu Invest and Nu Pay, Brazilian subsidiaries, are regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil (“BACEN”); Nu Financiera, a Mexican subsidiary, is regulated by both the Mexican Central Bank ("BANXICO") and Mexican National Banking and Stock Commission (“CNBV”); Nu Colombia Financiamiento, a Colombian subsidiary, is regulated by the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce ("SIC") and 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 entity.
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The material 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.
5. 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, and 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 a loss allowance for expected credit losses 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 expected credit losses ("ECL") allowance methodology are:
a) | Definition of default; |
b) | Forward-looking information used for the projection of macroeconomic scenarios; |
c) | Probability weights of future scenarios; |
d) | Definition of significant increase in credit risk and lifetime; and |
e) | Look-back period, used for parameters estimation (probability of default - PD, exposure at default - EAD and loss given default - LGD). |
Sensitivity analysis
On June 30, 2024, the probability weighted ECL allowance for credit card receivables and loans to customers totaled US$2,936,492 of which US$2,313,043 related to credit card receivables and US$623,449 to loans to customers. The ECL allowance 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 credit loss allowance is determined based on the weighted average of these scenarios. Such weightings reflect management's perception around the current and future expectations of the macroeconomic environment based on, but not limited to, GDP, Inflation, Unemployment and Interest Rates in each of the geographies the Group operates. The table below illustrates the ECL that would have arisen if management had applied the weighted average of these three macroeconomic scenarios and a 100% weighting to each macroeconomic scenario.
Weighted average | Upside | Base case | Downside | |||||
Credit card and lending ECL | 2,936,492 | 2,754,749 | 2,916,197 | 3,208,329 |

The Company has instruments that will become common shares upon exercise, acquisition, conversion (SOPs and RSUs described in note 10), or satisfaction of specific business combination conditions. The effects of the potential antidilutive instruments were calculated using the treasury stock method and are included in the total weighted average of ordinary outstanding shares for diluted 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. 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 (Stock Options – “SOPs”), receiving ordinary shares (Restricted Stock Units – “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 the SOPs and RSUs granted is recognized in the statement of profit or loss 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.
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.

(i) "Receivables - current" is related to purchases, withdrawals, payment slips ("boleto") and PIX (BACEN instant payments) financing made by customers due on the next credit card billing date. "Receivables - installments” is related to purchases in installments. Credit card receivables can be paid by Nu's customers in up to 36 monthly installments. The cardholder’s credit limit is initially reduced by the total amount and the installments become due and payable on the cardholder's subsequent monthly credit card statement. Brazil makes the corresponding payments to the credit card network (see note 22) following a similar schedule. As receipts and payments are aligned, the Group does not incur significant financing costs with this product, however it is exposed to the credit risk of the cardholder as it is obliged to make the payments to the credit card network even if the cardholder does not pay. “Receivables - installments” also includes the amounts of credit card bills not fully paid by the customers and that have been converted into payments in installments with a fixed interest rate ("fatura parcelada"), in addition to bill financing, which comprise bills paid in installments through the credit card, banking payment slips ("boleto") and PIX financing in more than one installment.
(ii) "Receivables - revolving" is related to the amounts due from customers that have not paid or fully paid their credit card bill. Customers may request to convert these receivables into loans to be paid in installments. In accordance with Brazilian regulation, revolving balances in Brazil that have not been fully paid and that are outstanding for more than 2 months are mandatorily converted into fatura parcelada - a type of installment loan which is settled through the customer’s monthly credit card bills.

b) Credit loss allowance - by stages
As of June 30, 2024, the credit card ECL allowance totaled US$2,313,043 (US$2,096,269 as of December 31, 2023). The provision is estimated using modeling techniques, consistently applied, and is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.
The amount that the credit loss allowance 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.
All receivables are classified in stages. 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 period.
(a) 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.
(b) Reflects the movements in exposure (both drawdown and undrawn limits) of accounts that already 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.
(c) 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 in these historic periods.
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 drawdowns, payments, and interest accruals.

b) Credit loss allowance - by stages
As of June 30, 2024, the loans to customers ECL allowance totaled US$623,449 (US$512,134 as of December 31, 2023). The provision is estimated using modeling techniques, consistently applied, which is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.
The amount that the credit loss allowance represents in comparison to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases.
All receivables are classified in stages. The explanation of each stage is set out in the Company's accounting policies, as disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

19. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group executes transactions with derivative financial instruments, which are intended to meet its own needs to reduce its exposure to market, currency and interest-rate risks. The derivatives are classified at fair value through profit or loss, except those in cash flow hedge accounting strategies, for which the effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives is recognized directly in other comprehensive income. The management of these risks is conducted through determining limits, and the establishment of operating strategies. The derivative contracts are considered level 1, 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy and are used to hedge exposures, but hedge accounting is adopted only for forecasted transactions related to the cloud infrastructure, intercompany transactions and certain software licenses used by Nu (hedge of foreign currency risk), to hedge interest of the fixed rate credit portfolio (hedge of interest rate risk of portfolio) and to hedge the future cash disbursement related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes at RSU vesting or SOP exercise, as shown below.

a) 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 managed its exposures 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. The 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. 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 forecasted hedged transaction have changed during the period in review and whether it 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.

b) Hedge of corporate and social security taxes over share-based compensation
The Group's hedge strategy is to cover the future cash disbursement related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes at RSU vesting and SOP exercise from the variation of the Company's share price volatility. The derivative financial instruments 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 spread. The stock fixed at the TRS is a 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 thus the market risk is replaced by an 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 forecast of the employee benefit plan, the Group manages exposures to keep the hedging level within an acceptable coverage. The derivative fair value is measured substantially based on the stock price which is also used in the measurement of the provision or payment for corporate and social security taxes. There is no expectation for a mismatch between the hedged item and hedging instrument at maturity other than the SOFR.
In June 2024, the Group modified its risk management objective of the hedge accounting for corporate and social security taxes to reduce the portion being hedged from a pre-income tax effect to a post-income tax effect, aiming to hedge the effects of the Company's share price changes on the hedged items net of the income tax effects. As a result, the Group partially settled the TRS in an amount equivalent to the income tax rates applicable exposure. The gain related to TRS settled, in the amount of US$14 accumulated in Other Comprehensive Income, will be reclassified to the statement of profit or loss in the proportion of the settlement of the related liability.

There were no defaults or breaches of instruments eligible as capital or on any financial liability during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and during the year ended December 31, 2023.
In June 2019, Nu Financeira issued a subordinated financial note in the amount equivalent to US$18,824, which was approved as Tier 2 capital by the Central Bank of Brazil in September 2019, for the purposes of calculation of regulatory capital. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 12.8%, matures in 2029, and could be called from June 14, 2024. The repurchase was approved by the Central Bank of Brazil on June 17, 2024, and the Group has up to 120 days following the approval date to complete the transaction. The repurchase is expected to be completed by the Group in the second half of 2024.

Currently, deposits in electronic money in Brazil include "Conta do Nubank" balances, which correspond to on-demand deposits of the Groups’ investment brokerage clients. In Mexico, it includes "Cuenta Nu".
"Conta do Nubank" is a prepaid account in which 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. "Cuenta Nu" balances are not required to be invested in specific assets; and therefore, they can be used as a financing source for the credit card operations in Mexico.
The RDBs are an investment option inside "Conta do Nubank" and can have daily liquidity or defined future maturity. Deposits in RDB have guarantees from the Brazilian Deposit Guarantee Fund (“FGC”). Unlike the deposits in electronic money, Nu is required to follow the compulsory deposits requirements for RDB deposits (see note 15), however it is not required to invest the remaining resources in government securities or in specific account maintained at the Central Bank of Brazil - these amounts can be used as a financing source for lending and credit card operations.
There are also RDBs with a defined future maturity date, which have a maturity of up to 27 months and a weighted average interest rate of 105% of the Brazilian CDI rate as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The interest paid on both "Conta do Nubank" 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.
For "Cuenta Nu" in Mexico, the balances deposited in "Cajitas" yield from 14.5% to 15.0% per year as of June 30, 2024. "Cajitas" has daily yield accrual and can have daily liquidity or defined future maturity.

Covenants
The credit facilities and syndicated loans above-mentioned have associated restrictive clauses (covenants) which establish the maintenance of minimum financial indicators resulting from capital, funding and liquidity (cash) position, as well as profitability metrics and leverage ratios including, but not limited to, net debt to gross profit, in addition to non-financial indicators according to each contract. The non-compliance with financial covenants is considered as an event of default and may lead to debt acceleration. There are also cross-default clauses triggered in the event Nu Holdings and/or some subsidiaries fail to pay any material indebtedness. The covenants are monitored on a regular basis.
Guarantees
Nu Holdings is guarantor to the above-mentioned syndicated loans and term loan credit facilities from Colombia and Mexico. The sole term loan credit facility that also counted on Nu Pagamentos as guarantor was prepaid by Nu Financiera in June 2024.

Deferred revenue from rewards programs is related to the Group's rewards programs for its credit card customers, called "Nubank+" and "Ultravioleta". The programs consist of accumulating points according to the use of the credit card in the ratio of R$1.00 (one Brazilian real, equivalent to US$0.18 as of June 30, 2024 and US$0.21 as of December 31, 2023) equal to 0.5 and 1 point in cashback for Nubank+ and
54 |
Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 | |
Ultravioleta, respectively. The points do not expire and there is no limit on the number of Rewards an eligible card member can earn. Deferred annual fees from the reward program comprise amounts related to the rewards fees which are paid in advance by customers.
The redemption of the points occurs in cash or when the customers use them in various purchase categories, such as air tickets, hotels, transportation services, and music.
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 profit or loss when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the reward points are redeemed.

28. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The main valuation techniques employed in internal models to measure the fair value of the financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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 those periods.
a) 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Group has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as compulsory and other deposits at central banks, other financial assets at amortized cost, deposits in electronic money, RDB, time deposit, and borrowings and financing, because the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

(i) For 2023, excludes the fair value adjustment from the hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2024, the Company no longer has derivatives for the hedge of the portfolio's interest rate risk.
(ii) Fair value methodology consists of discounting the cash flows from acquired credit card receivables, using observable spreads from the credit card issuers.
Borrowings and financing include the fair value calculated by the discounted cash flow method and also cases in which the fair value is the same amount as the book value (cases with prepayment clauses at the amortized cost). The fair value of floating rate demand deposits is assumed to be equal to carrying amounts.
The valuation approach to specific categories of financial instruments is described below.
i) Fair value models and inputs
Credit card: The fair values of credit card receivables and payables to the 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.
57 |
Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 | |
Other receivables: Fair value is calculated by discounting future cash flows by the interest rate curve and a credit spread.
b) Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value
The following table shows a summary of the fair values, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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: The securities with high liquidity and quoted prices in the active market are classified as level 1. Therefore, all government bonds and some corporate bonds are included in level 1 as they are traded in active markets. Brazilian securities values are the published prices by the "Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais" ("Anbima"). For US and Mexico bonds, fair values are the published prices by Bloomberg. Other corporate bonds and investment fund shares, the valuation of which is based on observable data, such as interest rates and interest rate curves are classified as level 2. Credit Rights Investment Funds (FIDCs) comprised of fixed rate receivables from retail customers are classified at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy with fair value calculated using the discounted cash flow model, based on the underlying assets of the fund.
59 |
Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 | |
Derivatives: Derivatives traded on stock exchanges are classified as level 1 of the hierarchy. Derivatives traded on the Brazilian stock exchange are fairly valued using 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 the last observed price, following non-arbitrage principles.
Equity instrument: For the fair value of the equity instrument, the Group used contractual conditions as inputs that are not directly observable, and therefore it is classified as level 3.
Instruments eligible as capital: If the instrument has an active market, prices quoted in this market are used. Otherwise, valuation techniques are used, such as discounted cash flows, where cash flows are discounted by a risk-free rate and a credit spread. Instruments eligible as capital were designated at fair value through profit (loss) in the initial recognition (fair value option).
Repurchase agreements: The fair value is calculated by discounted cash flow.
c) Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no material transfers of financial instruments between levels 1 and 2 or between levels 2 and 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.

29. INCOME TAX
Current and deferred taxes are determined for all transactions that have been recognized in the 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 are expected to reverse.
a) 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

(i) 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”.
(ii) Mostly related to the amount of donations to encourage culture, benefiting people's lives and other deductions.

b) Deferred income taxes
The following tables present significant components of the Group’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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.

31. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, AND OTHER RISKS
Overview
The Group monitors all the risks that could have a material impact on its strategic objectives, including those that must comply with applicable regulatory requirements. To efficiently manage and mitigate these risks, the risk management structure conducts risk identification and assessment to prioritize the risks that are key when pursuing potential opportunities and/or that may prevent value from being created or that may compromise existing value, with the possibility of impacting financial results, capital, liquidity, customer relationship and reputation.
Risks that are actively monitored include Credit, Liquidity, Market, Foreign exchange (FX), Operational, IT and Cyber, Regulatory, Compliance and AML (Anti-money laundering) and Reputational Risk, Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) and Risk from Cryptocurrency business.
Nu considers Risk Management an important pillar of the Group's strategic management. The risk management structure broadly permeates the entire Group, with the objective of ensuring that risks are properly identified, measured, mitigated, monitored and reported, in order to support the development of its activities. Risk Management is related to the principles, culture, structures and processes to improve the decision-making process and the achievement of strategic objectives. It is a continuous and evolving process that runs through Nu's entire strategy, to support Management in minimizing its losses, as well as maximizing its profits and underscoring the Group's 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.
67 |
Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 | |
The Group considers a risk appetite statement (“RAS”) to be an essential instrument to support risk management and decision making. The Board reviews and approves the RAS, as guidelines and limits for the business plan and capital deployment. Nu has defined a RAS (aligned to local regulatory requirements) 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.
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 risk, the measurement is carried out 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 that was reported in Annual Financial Statements.

(i) Unused limits are not recorded in the statement of financial position but are considered in the measurement of the ECL because it represents credit risk exposure.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as:
● | the ability of an entity to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, without incurring unacceptable losses; and |
● | the possibility of not being able to easily exit a financial position due to its size compared to the traded volume in the market. |
69 |
Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 | |
The liquidity risk management structure uses future cash flow data, applying what Nu believes to be a severe stress scenario to these cash flows, in order to measure that the volume of high-quality liquid assets that the Group has is sufficient to guarantee its resilience even in very adverse situations. The liquidity indicators are monitored daily. For funding risk management, the gaps between assets and liabilities in term buckets are monitored to assure that the profile of assets is consistent with the liabilities.
The Group has a Contingency Funding Plan for the Brazilian entities that describes possible management actions that should be taken in the event of a deterioration of the liquidity indicators.

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 begin utilizing their unused limits, the duration of the credit card receivables are expected to be shorter than the duration of the payables to network.

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, there is no net investment hedge for investments in other countries.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the entities of the Group had significant financial instruments in a currency other than their respective functional currencies.
The functional currency of the entities in Brazil is the Brazilian Real. Certain costs in US Dollars and Euros, or intercompany loans in US Dollars, are hedged with futures contracts, traded on the B3 exchange, based on projections of these costs, or when there are new exposures. Hedge transactions are adjusted when internal cost projections change and when the FX derivatives expire.

32. 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 following future requirements of regulatory capital, 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
a) Nu Prudential Conglomerate in Brazil
Brazil's Central bank defines a prudential conglomerate as a group of companies in which one regulated entity controls other regulated companies or investment funds. The conglomerate is classified as Type 3 when the regulated company that leads the conglomerate is a Payment Institution, which is the case of Nu Pagamentos.
The regulatory capital of the prudential conglomerate, defined by Brazil's Central Bank, consists of three key components:
● | Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital: Consisting of paid-in capital, reserves, and retained earnings, after accounting for deductions and prudential adjustments. |
● | Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Capital: This includes debt instruments that have no specific maturity and can absorb losses, meeting the eligibility criteria set out by the Central Bank. The sum of CET1 and AT1 forms the overall Tier 1 Capital. |
● | Tier II Capital: This involves subordinated debt instruments with set maturity dates that meet eligibility requirements. |
Type 3 institutions are required to implement capital rules as a prudential conglomerate. This implementation includes a phase-in rule for minimum capital requirements and prudential adjustments up to December 2024. Transitional rules are currently in effect and are outlined in the table below. The figures for 2025 represent the final implementation requirements.
Full year | ||||
Transitional Rule | 2024 | 2025 | ||
Prudential Adjustments | 60.0% | 100.0% | ||
Minimum CET1 (Including Buffers) | 5.75% | 7.00% | ||
Tier 1 Capital | 7.25% | 8.50% | ||
Conservation Capital Buffer (CCB) | 1.25% | 2.50% | ||
Total Requirement | 8.75% | 10.50% |

34. OTHER TRANSACTIONS
a) Accounting for crypto-assets - Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 ("SAB 121")
In March 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 121, which addresses the rights and obligations of the parties to a crypto asset safeguarding arrangement. SAB 121 explains that an issuer that has obligations to safeguard digital assets held for their platform users should recognize those digital assets as an asset and a liability to return to the customers, both of which are measured at fair value.
In June 2022, the Group launched a platform, through its subsidiary Nu Crypto Ltda. ("Nu Crypto"), which allows customers to trade crypto assets, in partnership with specialized brokers. The custody activity is performed by the brokers, which hold the cryptographic key information, and the Company's contractual arrangements state that its customers retain legal ownership of the crypto; have the right to sell or transfer the crypto assets; and also benefit from the rewards and bear the risks associated with the ownership, including as a result of any crypto price fluctuations. The Group maintains an internal recordkeeping of the crypto assets held for the customers.
The following table summarizes the balances relating to crypto assets held for customers, including Nucoin. For the purpose of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements the asset and liability have not been recognized.
