Independent Auditors´ review report 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 financial position of Nu Holdings Ltd. (“Company”) as at June 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income or loss for the three and six-month periods then ended, changes in equity and cash flows for six-month period then ended, and notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this 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 this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of reveiw

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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2022 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interin Financial Reporting’.

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of June 30, 2022

 

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the “Group” or "Nu”.

The business plan of Nu provides for the continued growth of its Brazilian, Mexican, and Colombian operations, not only related to existing businesses, such as credit cards, personal loans, investments, and insurance, but also complemented by the launch of new products. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption of the Group continuing as a going concern, considering that recent losses are principally due to the expenses incurred to deliver upon the Group’s rapid growth, in accordance with its business plan.

The Company’s Board authorized the issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements on August 12, 2022.

a) Acquisition activities completed during the period

i) Olivia

On November 2, 2021, Nu Holdings signed a stock purchase agreement ("SPA") to purchase all the shares of Olivia AI do Brasil Participações Ltda. ("Olivia Participações"), Olivia AI do Brasil Instituição de Pagamento Ltda. ("Olivia Pagamentos") and Olivia AI Inc. ("Olivia Inc") - together referred to as "Olivia" in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Olivia's acquisition was completed on January 3, 2022, when the control over the entities was transferred to Nu upon the completion of all conditions established in the SPA and the liquidation of the first part of the acquisition's contractual price.

In 2016, Olivia launched an artificial intelligence ("AI") solution that helps individuals manage their money. The AI works by integrating the user's various bank accounts and applying data analysis of both the expenses and income of its users, in order to provide suggestions for financial planning. Nu believes that Olivia's AI will further strengthen the Group's open banking initiatives. In addition, Olivia's strategic capabilities in data science and its highly specialized team will enable Nu to continue creating and offering new products based on artificial intelligence. The transaction qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

Purchase consideration at acquisition date

The total purchase price was US$47,225, of which US$10,554 settled on the acquisition date in cash and the remainder is to be settled upon issuance of 3,909,449 shares on the first anniversary of the acquisition date.

In connection with Olivia's acquisition, Nu Holdings expects to issue an aggregate of up to 3,970,986 class A ordinary shares as consideration for post-combination services rendered to Nu by the former shareholders and employees who became part of the Group following the closing, which were then considered as compensation and not a component of the purchase consideration transferred.

Net identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed

The control over the entities was transferred to Nu in January 2022. The Company has concluded the identification of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the allocation of the purchase price to these assets and liabilities, with the exception of the measurement of the fair value of the intangible assets and, therefore, the measurement of goodwill. The purchase price allocation, including the preliminary allocation to the intangible assets and goodwill is shown below.

as of June 30, 2022

 

Identifiable intangible assets will be amortized over a period of 3 to 6 years, according to their useful life, defined based on the expected future economic benefits generated by the asset. The goodwill does not have a defined useful life and will have its recoverability tested at least annually.

The goodwill from Olivia’s acquisition relates to future benefits expected to be realized through different strategies, such as the usage of the technology and Olivia's professional technical team within the ecosystem of Nu's solutions.

    Fair value recognized on acquisition - US$
Identifiable assets and liabilities    
Cash and cash equivalents   208
Other assets   615
Intangible assets   42,421
Liabilities   (6,400)
Total identifiable net assets at fair value   36,844
     
Goodwill arising on acquisition   10,381
Purchase consideration transferred   47,225
Equity consideration   36,671
Cash consideration   10,554

The additional intangible assets recognized, and the allocation of the purchase price were customer relationship (US$3,670) and intellectual property (US$38,751), at the acquisition date.

The following were the main assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: (i) discount rate of 15.9% and (ii) the residual value was calculated based on projected cash flows.

Net cash outflow on acquisition

    US$
Consideration paid in cash   10,554
(-) Cash and cash equivalent balances acquired   (208)
Net cash outflow   10,346

 

Impact of the acquisition on the results of the Group

Olivia contributed US$568 in revenues and a US$14,801 loss for the six-month period between the date of acquisition and the reporting date. As Olivia was acquired on January 3, 2022, no other impact on revenue or loss would occur in these interim condensed financial statements.

2. Statement of compliance

These 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 ("IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). However, selected condensed notes were included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the issuance of its last annual financial statements.

The Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Financial Statements”).

a) Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The presentation of the functional currency and foreign currency translation disclosed in note 2a of the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021, remain valid for these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The functional currency for Nu Holdings and the presentation currency of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements is the US Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of the Brazilian operating entities is the Brazilian real, for the Mexican entities, Mexican peso and for the Colombian entity, the Colombian peso.

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries held in functional currencies that are not US$ are translated into US$, and the exchange differences arising from the translation to US$ of the financial statements denominated in functional currencies other than the US$ are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss (OCI) as an item that may be reclassified to profit or loss within “currency translation on foreign entities”.

b) New or revised accounting pronouncements adopted in 2022

The following new or revised standards have been issued by IASB, were effective for, but had no impact on, the period covered by these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3)
   
  15

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of June 30, 2022

 
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 16)

c) Other new standards and interpretations not yet effective

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2)
Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8)
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)

Management does not expect the adoption of the standards and interpretations described above to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Basis of consolidation

These 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 interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, Nu deconsolidated Nu Fundo de Investimentos em Ações (“Nu FIA”) due to the loss of its control.

The financial information of the subsidiaries was prepared in 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 or loss are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, when applicable.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include, among other entities, the operational subsidiaries listed below:

In addition, the Company consolidated the following investment fund in which the Group’s companies hold a substantial interest or the entirety of the interests and are therefore exposed to, or have rights, to variable returns and have the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity:

Name of the entity   Country
Fundo de Investimento Ostrum Soberano Renda Fixa Referenciado DI (“Fundo Ostrum”)   Brazil

Nu Pagamentos, Nu Financeira, Nu DTVM and Nu Invest, Brazilian subsidiaries, are regulated by the Brazilian Central Bank (“BACEN”) and Nu México Financiera, S.A. de C.V., S.F.P. ("Nu Financiera"), a Mexican subsidiary, is regulated by both the Mexican Central Bank ("BANXICO") and Mexican National Baking and Stock Commission (“CNBV”), 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 Group.

4. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the financial statements and each corresponding note for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended on June 30, 2022 were the same as those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the change of the write-off period applied based on the estimate of recovery for the lending portfolio, as explained in note 14.

as of June 30, 2022

 

a) Credit losses on financial instruments

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on credit cards and loans receivables 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 to 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, 2022, the probability weighted ECL allowance totaled US$967,624 of which US$697,347 related to credit card operations and US$270,277 to loans. 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. The table below illustrates the ECL that would have arisen if management had applied a 100% weighting to each macroeconomic scenario.

    Upside   Base case   Downside
             
Credit card and lending ECL   952,212   967,490   983,654

The table below discloses the forecast used in each scenario for the Brazilian ECL allowance:

    Upside   Base case   Downside
             
2022- Brazilian GDP growth   2.0%   0.8%   -0.4%

b) Recovery estimate - lending portfolio

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Group updated its recovery estimate for the loan portfolio, as described in note 14.

The Company has instruments that will become ordinary shares upon the exercise, vesting, conversion, or upon the satisfaction of specific conditions related to business combinations. These instruments were considered antidilutive because they would decrease the loss per share. These antidilutive instruments were not included in the weighted number of shares for the diluted earnings per share and they comprise SOPs, RSUs, and Awards described in note 10 and preferred and contingent shares described in note 27. The number of shares for all periods presented were adjusted to reflect the 6-for-1 forward share split approved on August 30, 2021 (note 27).

10. Share-based payments

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 has also issued Awards in 2020 and 2021 that grant shares upon the achievement of market conditions related to the valuation of the Company, and also the passage of time for the Awards issued in 2021. 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, RSUs and Awards 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.

Receivables, net   6,465,642   4,771,474
Total receivables presented as assets   6,478,470   4,780,520

 

(i) "Receivables - current" is related to purchases made by customers due on the next credit card billing date. “Receivables – installments” is related to purchases in installments (“parcelado” in Brazil) which are financed by the merchant. With this product, the cardholder's purchase is paid in up to 12 equal 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 statements. The Group makes the corresponding payments to the credit card network (see note 20) 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”).

(ii) "Receivables - revolving" is related to the amounts due from customers that have not paid in full 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 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.

Total   7,163,201   100.0%   5,162,153   100.0%

Overdue installments consist mainly of revolving balances, and not overdue installments consist mainly of current receivables and future bill installments ("parcelado").

c) Credit loss allowance - by stages

As of June 30, 2022, the credit card ECL allowance totaled US$697,347 (US$390,679 as of December 31, 2021). The provision is provided by a model estimation, 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 coverage ratio is also monitored, to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases. This metric is considered a key risk indicator. It is monitored across multiple committees, supporting the decision-making process and is discussed in the primary credit forums along with the Group.

All receivables are classified through stages, where: (i) stage 1 include all receivables not classified in stages 2 and 3; (ii) stage 2 is primarily related to all receivables more than 30 (thirty), but less than 90 (ninety), days in arrears, or with an increase in client's behavior risk score compared to the time of the origination; and (iii) stage 3 when receivables are more than 90 (ninety) days in arrears, or there are indications that the financial asset will not be fully paid without a collateral or financial guarantee.

The majority of the Group's credit card portfolio was classified as stage 1, followed by stages 2 and 3, respectively as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022. The proportion of stage 3 exposures increased to 5.0% on June 30, 2022 from 3.8% on December 31, 2021, as delinquency flows through the stages following the seasonal increases in stage 2 observed in the first quarter. The stage 3 movement is also due to the gradual risk normalization of the growing portfolio, as it moves towards the pre-COVID-19 risk profile (see item (f) about COVID-19 impacts).

When compared to December 31, 2021, a change in the credit quality distribution is observed, with relative exposure moving to higher PD stages. This movement is explained by aforementioned risk normalization following the initial impacts of COVID-19. There is still a significant concentration of receivables at stage 1 based on credit quality. Receivables with satisfactory risk are distributed between stages 1 and 2, mostly at stage 1.

Defaulted assets at stage 3 are classified as higher risk, which also accounts for a large proportion of stage 2 exposure. Stage 1 receivables classified as higher risk are those customers with low credit risk scores.

f) Credit loss allowance - COVID-19 impacts

As the COVID-19 pandemic started to spread in the year 2020, lockdowns and circulation restrictions were expected to severely harm the economy, pushing financial institutions and individuals to be more conservative about taking risks. In addition, the Brazilian government response included "Emergency Aid", all of which together caused a change in the portfolio credit behavior, reducing delinquency and other risk indicators.

As vaccination advanced and restrictions fell, mainly after the last quarter of 2021, the economy started to regain traction, laying ground for a resumption in risk-related activities.

In 2022, as the effects of the pandemic dimmed, the risk profile of the portfolio changed, moving in the direction of pre-COVID-19 levels, which is considered a risk normalization trend. Although early delinquencies have already normalized to pre-COVID-19 levels, later delinquencies are still on an expected lagged path of normalization.

Fair value adjustment - portfolio hedge (note 17)   (6,458)   -
Total   1,675,776   1,194,814

 

On June 30, 2022, as a result of the growth in the lending portfolio and its historical data, the Company reviewed the reasonable expectation of recovery for those receivables and concluded that partial write-off of the lending portfolio in arrears for 120 days was more appropriate compared to the previous estimate of 360 days, which took into account Nu's experience with credit card receivables. Therefore, to prevent the build-up of the gross loans, Nu applied an immediate partial write-off for loans for the amounts for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, as allowed under IFRS 9, with a portion of the loan being written off immediately. Following the partial write-off, the remaining balance is recognized in gross loans until the point at which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. There is no effect in the statement of profit or loss due to the change in estimate, and the effect in the gross exposure and loss allowance balances for loans to customers are shown in item d) Credit loss allowance - changes.

17. 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 as 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 (loss). 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 forecast transactions related to the cloud infrastructure and certain software licenses used by Nu (hedge of foreign currency risk), to reduce fair value fluctuations of fixed rate credit portfolio (hedge of interest rate risk of portfolio) and to cover the future cash disbursement related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate taxes and social wages at RSU vesting or SOP exercise, as shown below.

(i) Warrants

In September 2021, Nu entered into an agreement with Creditas Financial Solutions Ltd. (and/or its affiliates in Latin America, or together, “Creditas”) through which Nu will distribute certain financial products offered by Creditas to its customers in Latin America. These include affordable retail collateralized loans, such as home and auto equity loans, auto financing, motorcycle financing and payroll loans.

The agreement also provided that Nu would invest up to US$200,000 in Creditas’ securitization vehicles, becoming the holder of the senior quotas of the fund. Nu was granted warrants that provide the right to acquire an equity interest equivalent to up to 7.7% of Creditas, on a fully diluted basis, under a pre-agreed valuation, proportional to fifty percent of the amount invested in the securitization vehicles and products distributed. During 2022, the total amount agreed of US$200,000 was invested in the securitization vehicles, shown as part of the “investment funds” on note 12, and, consequently, US$100,000 was shown as notional in the table above. Nu can exercise the option at any time, but the expiration date is 2 years after the issuance date.

As of June 30, 2022, the warrants' fair value was US$33,823, calculated using a Black Scholes model, classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, as shown in note 25. The Company recognized a gain of US$14,067 during 2022.

Other derivative financial instruments

Futures contracts are traded on the B3, which is also the counterparty. Swap contracts are settled daily and are traded over the counter with financial institutions as counterparties. The total value of margins pledged by the Group in transactions on the stock exchange is disclosed in note 12.

Nu Holdings entered into non-deliverable forward contracts to economically hedge the foreign exchange exposures on intercompany loans with subsidiaries.

Analysis of derivatives designated as hedges

a) Hedge of foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on forecast transaction expenses, primarily related to the cloud infrastructure and certain software licenses used by Nu. The Group managed its exposures to the variability in cash flows of foreign currency forecast transactions to movements in foreign exchange rates by entering foreign exchange contracts (exchange futures). These instruments are entered into to match the cash flow profile of the estimated forecast transaction and are exchange-traded and settled on a daily basis.

The Group applies hedge accounting to the forecast transactions related to its main cloud infrastructure contract and other expenses in foreign currency. 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

   
  40

as of June 30, 2022

 

occur in the same fiscal month as the maturity date of the hedging instrument. 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.

Total   25,088   70,332   95,420   78,401

b) Hedge of portfolio's interest rate risk

The Group holds portfolios of customers’ lending and refinancing of credit cards receivables at fixed interest rates, which creates market risk due to changes of the Brazilian interbank deposits’ (CDI) benchmark rate. Thus, to protect the fixed rate risk from CDI variation, the Group entered into future DI contracts to offset the market risk, and applied hedge accounting aiming to eliminate differences between the accounting measurement of its derivatives and hedged items which are adjusted to reflect changes in CDI.

The Group’s overall hedging strategy remains to reduce fair value changes of the part of the fixed rate portfolio as if they were floating rate instruments linked to the attributable benchmark rates. As such, in order to reflect the dynamic nature of the hedged portfolio, the strategy is to rebalance the future DI contracts and evaluate the allocated amount by the credit portfolio. Additionally, ineffectiveness could arise from the disparity between expected and actual prepayments (prepayment risk).

In accordance with its hedging strategy, the Group calculates the DV01 (delta value of a basis point) of the exposure and futures to identify the optimal hedging ratio, and monitors in a timely manner the hedge relationship, providing any rebalancing if needed. The need for the purchase or sale of new future DI contracts will be assessed, to counterbalance the hedged item’s market value adjustment, aiming to assure hedge effectiveness between 80% and 125%, as determined on hedge documentation.

The effectiveness test for the hedge is done in a prospective and retrospective way. In the prospective test, the Group compares the impact of a 1 basis point parallel shift on the interest rate curve (DV01) on the hedged object and on the hedge instrument market value. For the retrospective test, the market-to-market

value change since the inception of the hedged object is compared to the hedge instrument. In both cases, the hedge is considered effective if the correlation is between 80% and 125%.

 

For designated and qualifying fair value hedges, the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedging derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in "Interest income and gains (losses) on financial instruments - financial assets at fair value". In addition, the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Retrospective - Portfolio hedge   (6,670)   -   (6,510)   94.3%
Prospective - Portfolio hedge   (62)   -   (66)   102.8%

 

c) Hedge of corporate taxes and social wages 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 taxes and social wages at RSU vesting or 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 hence 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 under hedges the exposure 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 on the measurement of the provision or payment for corporate taxes and social wages, therefore there is no expectation for a mismatch to exist between the hedged item and hedging instrument at maturity other than the SOFR.

In June 2019, the subsidiary Nu Financeira issued a subordinated financial note in the amount equivalent to US$18,554 at the issuance date, which was approved as Tier 2 capital by the Brazilian Central Bank 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 is callable in 2024.

The Group designated the instruments eligible as capital at fair value through profit or loss at its initial recognition. The gains of fair value changes arising from its own credit risk in the amount of US$3,329 were recorded in other comprehensive income (losses of US$1,051 in the year ended December 31, 2021). All other fair value changes and interests in the amount of US$9,480 (US$3,580 in the year ended December 31, 2021) were recognized as profit or loss.

Guarantees

The Company is guarantor to the above-mentioned borrowings from Colombia and Mexico. The subsidiary Nu Pagamentos also is guarantor to the BofA and JP Morgan borrowings. The total amount of the guarantees is US$470,000 as of June 30, 2022.

b) Securitized borrowings

Securitized borrowings corresponded to senior quotas issued by FIDC Nu. Senior notes of 1st series were fully settled in 2020, 2nd series were fully settled in 2021 and 3rd series were fully settled in February 2022. Changes to securitized borrowings are as follows:

Civil risks   1,450   980
Labor risks   20   21
Total   17,288   18,082

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising from the ordinary course of operations, involving tax, civil and labor matters. Such matters are being discussed at the administrative and judicial levels, which, when applicable, are supported by judicial deposits. The provisions for probable losses arising from these matters are estimated and periodically adjusted by management, supported by external legal advisors’ opinion. There is significant uncertainty relating to the timing of any cash outflow for civil and labor risk.

a) Provision

Regarding tax risks, a provision in the amount of US$15,818 as of June 30, 2022 (US$17,081 on December 31, 2021) was recorded as a legal obligation related to the increase in the contribution of certain Brazilian taxes (PIS and COFINS). The Group has a judicial deposit in the amount related to this claim, as shown below in item d). In July 2019, Nu withdrew the lawsuit and is currently awaiting the release of the judicial deposits to the Brazilian Tax Authorities, which is expected to occur by December 2023.

Civil lawsuits are mainly related to credit card operations. Based on management’s assessment and inputs from Nu’s external legal advisors, the Group has provisioned US$1,450 (US$980 on December 31, 2021) considered sufficient to cover estimated losses from civil suits deemed probable.

c) Contingencies

The Group is a party to civil and labor lawsuits, involving risks classified by management and the legal advisors as possible losses, totaling approximately US$4,401 and US$717, respectively (US$4,365 and US$454 on December 31, 2021). Based on management’s assessment and inputs from the Group’s external legal advisors, no provision was recognized for those lawsuits as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

d) Judicial deposits

As of June 30, 2022, the total amount of judicial deposits shown as “Other assets” (note 16) is US$18,643 (US$17,480 on December 31, 2021) and is substantially related to the tax proceedings.

23. Deferred income

Deferred revenue from points   30,878   25,462
Deferred annual fee   4,015   4,673
Other deferred income   1,702   522
Total   36,595   30,657

Deferred revenue from points and deferred annual fee are related to the Group's reward program for its credit card customers, called "Rewards".

24. Related parties

In the ordinary course of business, the Group may have issued credit cards or loans to Nu’s executive directors, board members, key employees and close family members. Those transactions, as well as the deposits and other products, as investments, occur on similar terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions to unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability.

As described in note 3, "Basis of consolidation", all companies from the Group are consolidated in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, related party balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

25. Fair value measurement

The main valuation techniques employed in internal models to measure the fair value of the financial instruments on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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 the valuation techniques and internal models it used 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 on June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The Group has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as compulsory deposits at central banks, other financial assets at amortized cost, RDB and RDB-V and time deposit, because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of June 30, 2022

 

i) Fair value models and inputs

Credit card: Credit card receivables and payables to network’s fair values are calculated using the discounted cash flow method. Fair values are determined by discounting the contractual cash flows by the interest rate curve. For payables, cash flows are also discounted by the Group's own credit spread. For receivables, fair values exclude expected losses. The Group used the rate of recovery of late payments as an input that is not directly observable and was estimated using the Group's internal databases.

Loans to customers: Fair value is estimated based on groups of clients 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 net interest spread. The Group used the rate of recovery of late payments as an input that is not directly observable and was estimated using the Group's internal databases.

Deposits: Most deposit liabilities are payable on demand and therefore can be deemed short-term in nature with the fair value equal to the carrying value.

b) Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value

The following table shows a summary of the fair values, as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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. As a result, all the government bonds are included in level 1 as they are traded in active markets. Fair values are the quoted prices on the secondary market, published by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Market Entities (“Anbima”). Corporate bonds and investment fund quotes, whose valuation is based on observable data, such as interest rates and yield curves, supported by the market, are classified as level 2.

Derivatives: Derivatives traded on stock exchanges are classified in level 1 of the hierarchy. Derivatives traded on the Brazilian stock exchange are fairly valued using B3 quotations. Interest rate OTC Swaps are valued by discounting future expected cash flows to present values using interest rate curves based on interest rate futures and are classified as level 2. The embedded derivative conversion feature from the senior preferred share was calculated based on methodologies for the share price described in note 10. The options related to the warrant from Creditas Partnership are fair valued using a Black-Scholes model and are classified as level 3.

Equity instrument: For the fair value of the equity instrument, the Group used contractual conditions as input that are not directly observable.

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

   
  51

are discounted by a risk-free rate and a credit spread. Instruments eligible as capital were designated at fair value through profit or loss in the initial recognition (fair value option).

c) Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no transfers of financial instruments between levels 1 and 2 or between levels 2 and 3.

26. Income tax

Current and deferred taxes are determined for all transactions that have been recognized in the 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. The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period, calculated by applying the combined Brazilian income tax rate of 40% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

    06/30/2022   06/30/2021
Loss before income tax   (92,263)   (59,905)
Tax rate (i)   40%   40%
Income tax benefit   36,905   23,962
         
Permanent additions/exclusions        
Share-based payments   (985)   (8,541)
Customers gifts   (72)   (125)
Operational losses and others   (4,978)   (1,766)
Effect of different tax rates - subsidiaries and parent company   (12,792)   (16,972)
Other non-deductible expenses   (669)   (1,356)
Income tax   17,409   (4,798)
         
Current tax expense   (195,301)   (83,756)
Deferred tax benefit   212,710   78,958
Income tax in the statement of profit or loss   17,409   (4,798)
Deferred tax recognized in OCI   221   761
Income tax   17,630   (4,037)
Effective tax rate   -18.9%   8.0%

(i) The tax rate used was the one applicable to the financial Brazilian subsidiaries, which represent 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”.

b) Deferred income taxes

The following tables present significant components of the Group’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, and the changes for the periods then ended. 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 Group has no time limit for use of the deferred tax assets, but 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.

28. Management of financial risks, financial instruments, and other risks

a) Overview

The Group prioritizes 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 to pursue potential opportunities and/or that may prevent value from being created or that may compromise existing value, with the possibility of having impacts on financial results, capital, liquidity, customer relationship and reputation.

Risks that are actively monitored include:

  1. Credit risk;
  2. Liquidity risk;
  3. Market Risk and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB);
  4. Operational Risk / Information Technology (IT) Risk;
  5. Regulatory Risk;
  6. Compliance Risk; and
  7. Reputational Risk.

b) Risk management structure

Nu considers Risk Management an important pillar of the Group's strategic management. The risk management structure broadly permeates the entire Company, allowing risks to be 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 and its implementation, to support Management in minimizing its losses, as well as maximizing its profits and supporting the Company'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.

The Group considers a risk appetite statement (“RAS”) to be an essential instrument to support risk management and decision making. Therefore, its development is aligned with the business plan, strategy and capital development. 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.

Nu operates on the three-line model, which helps to identify structures and processes that best support the achievement of objectives and facilitate a robust governance and risk management structure.

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of June 30, 2022

 
First line: business functions and support functions/areas or activities that generate exposure to risks, whose managers are responsible for managing them in accordance with policies, limits and other conditions defined and approved by the Executive Board. The first line must have the means to identify, measure, treat and report risks.
Second line: consisting of the areas of Risk Management, Internal Controls and Compliance, it ensures an effective control of risks and that they are managed in accordance with the defined appetite level. Responsible for proposing risk management policies, developing risk models and methodologies, and first-line supervision.
Third line: composed of Internal Audit, it is responsible for periodically independently evaluating whether policies, methods and procedures are adequate, in addition to verifying their effective implementation.

Another important element of the risk management framework is the structure of Technical Forums and Committees. These governance bodies were designed and implemented to monitor and make decisions on aspects associated with the Group's management and control. Nu has implemented this structure both at a Global and a country-level perspective, as described below.

Global risk-related Governance body:

Audit and Risk Committee: its main duties are to evaluate the performance and progress of the work of the Internal Audit, the independent audit, as well as the respective reports related to the internal control systems, to follow the recommendations made by the internal and independent auditors to management, to review and discuss with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements, to assist the Board of Directors in the performance of its risk management and control functions, and monitoring the level of risk exposure according to the RAS (consolidated view by geos). It consists of at least three members and meets at least quarterly.

Country-level risk-related Governance bodies:

Each of the countries where the Group has operations established a structure of governance based on the relevant regulatory requirements and composed of the following elements. Depending on the nature of the subject to be managed, some Committees and meetings can be grouped to cover more than one country.

Risk Committee: its objective is to assist the country's executive officers in the performance of the entity’s risk management and control functions, monitoring the level of risk exposure according to risk appetite. It also aims to adopt strategies, policies and measures aimed at disseminating a culture of internal controls and risk mitigation.
Credit Committee: its objective is to review and supervise credit strategies, as well as review their impacts on the subsidiary's results, and to review the credit strategies in light of the macroeconomic environment and risk information, on the credit market and competitors.
Audit Committee: its main duties are to evaluate the performance and progress of the work of the Internal Audit function, the independent auditors, and the respective reports related to the internal control systems, to follow the recommendations made by internal and independent

auditors to management, and to review and discuss with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements.

Technical Forums: regular meetings to discuss and propose recommendations to the country-level Risk Committee. Depending on the materiality in each of the countries, each topic listed below can have its own Technical Forum, with the participation of executives from associated areas: accounting and tax, operational risk and internal controls, asset and liability management ("ALM") / capital, information technology risks ("IT"), data protection, Compliance, fraud prevention, anti-money laundering ("AML"), stress tests, product review and credit provisions. Each Technical Forum has its own charter, establishing the scope of work, voting members and other working model attributes.

c) Risks actively monitored

The risks that are actively monitored by the Group include credit, market, liquidity, operational, information technology, regulatory, compliance, reputational and capital. 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.

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 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.

Based on the results of the measurement and risk assessment activities, the adherence of the residual exposure to Nu's risk appetite is verified. Necessary actions to mitigate risks are presented and discussed in the governance structure (Technical Forums and Risk Committees), which are also the channels responsible for approving and monitoring the implementation of action plans.

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the possibility of losses associated with failure of customers or counterparties to pay their contractual obligations; the depreciation or reduction of the expected gains from financial instruments due to the deterioration of the credit quality of customers or counterparties; the costs of recovering the deteriorated exposure; and any advantage given to customers or counterparties due to deterioration in their credit quality.

The credit risk control and management structure is independent of the business units, being responsible for the processes and tools to measure, monitor, control and report the credit risk of products and other financial operations, continuously verifying their adherence to the policies and structure of approved limits. There is also an assessment of the possible impacts arising from changes in the economic environment, in order to ensure that the loan portfolio is resilient to economic crises.

   
  61

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of June 30, 2022

 

Credit risk management is carried out by the Credit Risk team with a centralized role independent of the business units, being responsible for:

Establishing governance, policies and procedures aimed at maintaining exposure to credit risks in accordance with the levels set in the RAS;
Monitoring and notifying management of the risk levels (appetite compliance) of the credit portfolio, including recommendations for improvement, when applicable;
Identifying and assessing inherent risks and respective mitigators in the launch of new products and significant changes in existing processes;

     Estimating of expected losses according to consistent and verifiable criteria.

The Group’s outstanding balance of financial assets is shown in the table below:

Financial assets   06/30/2022   12/31/2021

Financial assets at amortized cost   10,141,709   6,982,835
Total   23,660,799   18,770,270

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as:

the ability of a bank 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.

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 even in adverse situations. The liquidity indicators are monitored daily.

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.

Market risk and interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB)

Market risk is defined as the risk of losses arising from movements in market risk factors, such as interest rate risk, equities, foreign exchange (FX) rates, commodities prices. IRRBB refers to the current or prospective risk to the bank’s capital and earnings arising from adverse movements in interest rates that affect the bank’s banking book positions.

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

as of June 30, 2022

 

There is a market risk & IRRBB control and management structure, independent from the business units, which is responsible for the processes and tools to measure, monitor, control and report the market risk and IRRBB, continuously verifying the adherence with the approved policies and limit’s structure.

Management of market risk and IRRBB is based on metrics that are reported to the Asset & Liability Management and Capital ("ALM") Technical Forum and to the country-level Risk Committee. Management is authorized to use financial instruments as outlined in the Group's internal policies to hedge market risk & IRRBB exposures.

Management of market risk and interest rate risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) is based on the following metrics:

Interest Rate Sensitivity (DV01): impact on the market value of cash flows, when submitted to a one basis point increase in the current annual interest rates or index rate;
Value at Risk (VaR): maximum market value loss for a holding period with a confidence level; and
FX exposures: considering all financial positions that bring FX risk and operational expenses in other currencies.

The table below presents the VaR, calculated using a confidence level of 95% and a holding period of 1 day, by a historical simulation approach, with a 5-year window. VaR for Nu Holdings is considering only financial assets held directly by Nu Holdings, and it is not considering assets in other countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. Since the last interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022, the Company changed the VaR model for Nu Holdings, which now uses a confidence level of 99% and a holding period of 10 days. These changes were undertaken so that the risk reflects the management of the amounts.

The following analysis is Nu Holding's sensitivity of the mark to market fair value to an increase of 1 basis point (“bp”) (DV01) in the US Risk-Free Curve:

Curve   US Risk-Free Curve

In Brazil, the interest rate risk in subsidiaries other than Nu Pagamentos and Nu Financeira are deemed not relevant as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

To maintain DV01 sensitivities within defined limits, interest rate futures, traded in B3, and swaps derivatives are used to hedge interest rate risk.

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 Mexican and Colombian pesos. At the Nu Holdings level, there is no net investment hedge for investments in other countries.

As of June 30, 2022, 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, but has operational costs in reais, US dollars and Euros. 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 is new exposure. Hedge transactions are rolled out as costs and borrowings are paid, and adjusted when internal cost projections change. As a result, the financial statements have small exposures to exchange rates after the hedge transactions take effect.

Operational risk

Operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses resulting from external events or from failure, deficiency or inadequacy of internal processes, people or systems. In this context, the legal risk associated with inadequacy or deficiency in contracts signed by Nu, sanctions due to non-compliance with legal provisions and compensations for damages to third parties arising from the activities developed by the Company must also be considered.

The structure of control and management of operational risk and internal controls is independent of the business and support units, being responsible for the identification and assessment of operational risks, as well as for evaluating the design and effectiveness of the internal controls, covering risks such as system and services disruption, external fraud and failures in activities in payment scheme arrangements. This structure is also responsible for the preparation and periodic testing of the business continuity plan and for coordinating the risk assessment in new product launches and significant changes to existing processes.

Within the governance of the risk management process, mechanisms are presented to identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, and report operational risk events to each business and support area (first line), in addition to disseminating the control culture to other employees. The main results of risk assessments are presented

in the Technical Forum on Operational Risk and Internal Controls and in the Risk Committee, when applicable. Applicable improvement recommendations result in action plans with planned deadlines and responsibilities.

     Information Technology ("IT") risk

IT risk is defined as the undesirable effects arising from a range of possible threats to the information technology infrastructure, including cybersecurity (occurrence of information security incidents), incident management (ineffective incident/problem management process, impact about service levels, costs and customer dissatisfaction), identify and access management (unauthorized access to sensitive information), data management (lack of compliance with data privacy laws or gaps in data management governance or data leakage issues), among others.

As the Group operates in a challenging environment in terms of cyber threats, it continuously invests in controls and technologies to defend against these threats. Information Technology risks, including cyber risk, are a priority area for the Company thus there is a dedicated IT Risk structure, which is part of the second line. This team is independent from IT-related areas, including Engineering, IT Operations, and Information Security.

The IT Risks area is responsible for identifying, evaluating, measuring, monitoring, controlling, and reporting Information Technology risks in relation to the risk appetite levels approved by the Executive Board. The Group continually assesses Nu's exposure to threat risk and their potential impacts on the business and customers. The Group continues to improve its IT and cybersecurity capabilities and controls, also considering that people are an essential component of the security strategy, ensuring that the employees and third-party consultants are aware of prevention measures and also know how to report incidents.

The results of the IT risk and controls assessments are regularly discussed at the IT Risk Technical Forum and presented to the Risk Committee when applicable. The applicable improvement recommendations result in action plans with planned deadlines and responsibilities.

Regulatory risk

In a complex and highly regulated environment, legislative and regulatory initiatives may result in significant changes to Nu's regulatory framework and consequently its business activities.

To address such risks Nu maintains teams in Brazil, Colombia and Mexico dedicated to monitoring these changes and engaging to explain their potential impacts to the company and the broader financial industry.

Legislative and regulatory initiatives that can present a material impact to the company are brought to the attention of the Risk Committee and the management team allowing the company, when necessary, to adjust its strategy and decide on the best course of action to deal with such changes.

Compliance risk

As the Group operates in a highly regulated environment, a Compliance program was established within the second line of defense. The Compliance team has resources dedicated to the Ethics Program, Regulatory Compliance as well as to Anti Money Laundering Program and Combating the Financing of Terrorism.

as of June 30, 2022

 

The Ethics Program sets the minimum conduct standards for the organization, including Code of Conduct, Compliance Policies, Training, and Awareness Campaigns, as well as an independent Whistleblower Channel. Some examples include the AB&C risks, conflict of interest, related parties, insider trading as well as any violations from Nu's Code of conduct.

The Regulatory Compliance team is focused on overseeing the regulatory adherence of the organization. Main activities involve regulatory tracking and managing the regulatory adherence, assessment of new products and features, advisory, Compliance testing as well as centralizing the relationship with regulators regarding requests of information and exams. By not being in compliance with laws and regulations, the company may be exposed to sanctions, loss of license as well as potential criminal implications on management.

Nu's Anti Money Laundering Program represents the global framework and guidelines for AML/CTF and is the basis for the AML team's strategic planning. It involves the risk of the company being exposed to sanctions for not implementing controls to avoid AML or terrorism financing.

The Program is structured in three levels - strategic, tactical and operational - and it's composed of 7 pillars (strategic level): Enterprise Risk Assessment; Policies and Procedures; Communication and Training; Know Your Customer (KYC); Due Diligence (KYE, KYS, KYP and KYB); MSAC - Monitoring, Selection, Analysis and Communication (SAR); and Effectiveness Assessment Program.

Reputational risk

The Group believes that the materialization of other risks can negatively impact its reputation, as they are intrinsically connected. Unfavorable events in different risk areas such as business continuity, cyber security, ethics and integrity, social media negative activity, among others, can damage Nu's reputation.

Therefore, the Group has teams and processes in place dedicated to overseeing external communication and for crisis management, which are key elements in identifying and mitigating reputational events, as well as to gain long-term insight to better prevent or respond to future events.

     Stress testing

The stress testing program considers shocks/impacts to Nu's main products, such as credit cards, personal loans and funding instruments, in addition to their respective sub-products. Scenarios are considered in which stress is applied in isolation, at different levels of intensity and probability, and also scenarios in which managerial actions are considered to increase the company's resilience and preserve its capital and liquidity indicators.

The proposed scenarios are presented to the Stress Testing Technical Forum. The scenarios to be addressed, duration and severity and plausibility of each shock are discussed, as well as the ways in which they will be modeled and the level of detail required. After modeling and executing the tests, the results are submitted to the appropriate committees and technical forums, an integral part of Nu's risk management structure. The proposed actions aimed at ensuring the Organization's resilience are discussed and approved. The Stress Testing Program is updated annually and defines which tests the team must undertake in the next 12 months.

29. 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 taken and strategic aim of the organization and to establish a capital planning process in accordance with 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, for writing and submitting the capital plan and capital contingent plan for approval by the Executive Directors.

At the executive level, the ALM Technical Forum is responsible for approving risk assessment and capital calculation methodologies, and reviewing, monitoring, and recommending capital-related action plans to the Risk Committee.

a) Minimum capital requirements

The Group must comply with two different regulatory capital requirements in Brazil: one for the Financial Conglomerate, led by Nu Financeira and composed of Nu Financeira along with Nu DTVM and Nu Invest, and the other applicable to Nu Pagamentos:

Financial Conglomerate: minimum level of capital, considering the minimum requirements for financial institutions according to Brazilian Federal Monetary Council (“CMN”) Resolution 4,958/21.
Nu Pagamentos: minimum level of capital, considering the minimum requirements for payment institutions, according to Circular BACEN 3,681/13.

In September 2021, Nu acquired Nu Mexico Financiera, S.A. de C.V., S.F.P., formerly AKALA, S.A. DE C.V., (“Akala”), a Mexican Financial Cooperative Association ("SOFIPO") and regulated by the CNBV (Comisión Nacional Bancaria Y De Valores). The regulatory capital requirements for this entity are defined by the NICAP metric (“nivel de capitalización”) set by the CNBV, which is comparable to the Basel Ratio methodology.

Nu implemented a capital management structure with the purpose of maintaining a higher level of capital than the minimum regulatory requirements. Additionally, the Group has commenced operations in Colombia and will comply with local rules as soon as regulatory requirements are applicable in this jurisdiction.

b) Composition of capital

i) Financial conglomerate in Brazil

The regulatory capital used to monitor the compliance of a financial conglomerate with the Basel operating limits imposed by the Brazilian Central Bank, is the sum of two items, as follows:

Tier I Capital: the sum of Common Equity Tier I, which consists of paid in capital, capital, reserves and retained earnings, less deductions, and adjustments and the Additional Tier I, which consists of subordinated debt instruments without a defined maturity that meet eligibility requirements. It is important to note that the Financial Conglomerate does not hold any debt eligible for Additional Tier I on the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Tier II Capital: consists of subordinated debt instruments with defined maturity dates that meet eligibility requirements. Together with the Common Equity Tier I it composes the Total Capital.

Notwithstanding the minimum capital adequacy ratio provided under CMN Resolution No. 4,958/21, upon being granted its financial institution license in 2018, Nu Financeira undertook a commitment to operate with a higher Basel Committee minimum capital adequacy ratio of 14.0% during its first five years of operations (i.e., until 2023).
