2. Basis for drafting the financial statements

2.1 Compliance statement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on International Accounting Standars (IAS) 34 approved by the European Union.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the XTB S.A. Group prepared for the period from 1 January 2024 to 30 September 2024 with comparative data for the period ended 30 September 2023 and as at 31 December 2023, cover the Parent Company's financial data and financial data of the subsidiaries comprising the "Group".

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, with the exception of financial assets at fair value and other assets and liabilities which valuation methods are described in the accounting policy. The Group's assets are presented in the statement of financial position according to their liquidity, and its liabilities according to their maturities.

The adopted accounting principles are consistent with the principles of the previous financial year, except for the income tax charge, which was calculated in accordance with the principles set out in IAS 34.30c and the new standards effective from 1 January 2024.

The Group companies maintain their accounting records in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the countries in which these companies are established. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include adjustments made in order to reconcile their financial statements with the Group's accounting principles.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Management Board of the Parent Company on 7 November 2024.

Drafting this interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Parent Company decided that none of the Standards would be applied retrospectively.

The IFRS comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

2.2 Functional currency and reporting currency

The functional currency and the presentation currency of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements is the Polish zloty ("PLN"), and unless stated otherwise, all amounts are shown in thousands of zloty (PLN'000).

2.3 Going concern

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption that the Group would continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. At the date of preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Management Board of XTB S.A. does not state any circumstances that would threaten the Group companies' continued operations in the 12 months from the date of acceptance of these financial statements, with the exception of subsidiary Tasfiye Halinde XTB Yönetim Danışmanlığı A.Ş. in Turkey described in note 1.2.

2.4 Comparability of data and consistency of the policies applied

Data presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is comparable and prepared under the same principles for all periods covered by the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Following the introduction of interest deposits on clients cash, in order to better reflect and ensure comparability of data, starting from the interim condensed financial statements for 2024, the Group has decided to present Net Interest Income on Clients Cash in Income from operating activities. The data for 2023 have been brought to comparability on the basis of the data available in the reporting systems.

2.5 The impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the Group's results

On 24 February 2022, Russian troops crossed the eastern, southern and northern borders of Ukraine, attacking the territory of Ukraine. In connection with hostilities by Russia, representatives of the European Union and many other countries have introduced severe sanctions against Russia, which mainly affect strategic sectors of the Russian economy by blocking access to technology and markets. This situation currently has no significant impact on the Group, however, it caused high volatility in the financial and commodity markets around the world, which affected the transaction activity of XTB clients and the Group's results in 2022.

2.6 Changes in the accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for the application of new or amended standards and interpretations applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" lease liabilities in sale and leaseback transactions,
  • Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" classification of liabilities as current or non-current,

• Amendments to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" - financing agreements for liabilities to suppliers .

The Group has not decided to apply earlier any Standard, Interpretation or Amendment that has been issued, but has not yet become effective in light of the EU regulations. New or amended standards and interpretations that are applicable for the first time in 2024 did not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

2.7 New standards and interpretations which have been published but are not yet binding

The following standards and interpretations have been published by the International Accounting Standards Board but are not yet binding:

  • Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" lack of interchangeability not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these financial statements – effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2025,
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments Disclosures" amendments in the classification and measurement of financial instruments - not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these financial statements - effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026,

Above new standards and interpretations which have been published but are not yet binding do not have a significant impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Professional judgement

In the process of applying the accounting principles (policy), the Management Board of the Parent Company made the following judgements that have the greatest impact on the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

Revenue recognition

Transaction price is determined at fair value which is described in accounting policy. Liabilities due to reimbursements and other in the case of the Group do not occur.

3.1 Material estimates and valuations

In order to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Group has to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts disclosed in the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions subject to day-to-day evaluation by the Group's management are based on experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events that seem justified in the given situation. The results are a basis for estimates of carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

Although the estimates are based on best knowledge regarding the current conditions and actions taken by the Group, actual results may differ from the estimates. Adjustments to estimates are recognised during the reporting period in which the adjustment was made provided that such adjustment refers only to the given period or in subsequent periods if the adjustment affects both the current period and subsequent periods. The most important areas for which the Group makes estimates are presented below.

3.2 Impairment of assets

As at each balance sheet date, the Group determines whether there are any indications of impairment of a given financial asset or group of financial assets. In particular, the Group tests its past due receivables for impairment and writes down the estimated amount of doubtful and uncollectible receivables.

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there are objective indications of impairment of other assets, including intangible assets. Impairment is recognised when it is highly likely that all or a significant part of the respective assets will not bring about the expected economic benefits, e.g. as a result of expiry of licences or decommissioning.

Deferred income tax assets

At each balance sheet date, the Parent Company assesses the likelihood of settlement of unused tax credits with the estimated future taxable profit and recognises the deferred tax asset only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized, which is described in note 26.2.2.

The Group recognises a deferred tax asset based on the assumption that a tax profit will be generated in the future enabling its utilisation. Deterioration in tax results in the future might result in the assumption becoming unjustified. The deferred tax asset relates mainly to the losses generated by foreign operations and subsidiaries in the initial period of their operation recognised in the balance sheet. The Group analyses the possibility of recognising such assets, taking into consideration local tax regulations, and analyses future tax budgets assessing the possibility of recovering these assets.

3.3 Fair value measurement

Information on estimates relative to fair value measurement is presented in note 36 – Risk management. The fair value measurement framework uses valuation techniques that are appropriate to the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The methodology developed by the Group for determining fair value involves adjusting the fair value model to the characteristics of the financial asset being valued.

3.4 Other estimates

Provisions for liabilities connected with retirement, pension and death benefits are calculated using the actuarial method by an independent actuary as the current value of the Group's future amounts due to employees, based on their employment and salaries as at the balance sheet date. The calculation of the provision amount is based on a number of assumptions, regarding both macroeconomic conditions and employee turnover, risk of death, and others.

Provision for unused holidays is calculated on the basis of the estimated payment of holiday benefits, based on the number of unused holidays, and remuneration as at the balance sheet date.

Provisions for legal risk are determined individually based on the circumstances of a given case. The Group assesses the chance of winning particular case and consequently assesses the need of establishment of provision in case of a loss in relations to all court cases.

4. Adopted material accounting principles

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023, except for the new or amended standards and new interpretations binding for the annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2024.

5. Seasonality of operations

The management monitors the results of the operating segments separately, in order to decide on the implementation of strategies, allocation of resources and performance assessment. Operations in segment are assessed on the basis of segment profitability and its impact on the overall profitability reported in the financial statements.

The Group concludes transactions only with external clients. Transactions between operating segments are not concluded. Valuation of assets and liabilities, incomes and expenses of segments is based on the accounting policies applied by the Group. The Group does not allocate financial activity and corporate income tax burden on business segments.

32. Capital management

The objective of the capital management policy is to ensure balanced long-term growth for the shareholders and to maintain sufficient capital to enable the Group to operate in a prudent and efficient manner. This objective is attained by maintaining an appropriate capital base, taking into account the Group's risk profile and prudential regulations, as well as risk-based capital management in view of the operating goals.

Determination of capital-related goals is essential for equity management and serves as a basic reference in the context of capital planning, allocation and contingency plans. The Group establishes capital-related objectives which ensure a stable capital base, achievement of its capital strategy goals (in accordance with its general principles), and also match the Group's risk appetite. To establish its capital-related goals, the Group takes into consideration its strategic plans and expected growth of operations as well as external conditions, including the macroeconomic situation and other business environment factors. The capital-related goals are set for a horizon similar to that of the business strategy and are approved by the Management Board.

Capital planning is focused on an assessment of the Group's current and future capital requirements (both regulatory and internal), and on comparing them with the current and projected levels of available capital. The Group has prepared contingency plans to be launched in the event of a capital liquidity shortage, described in detail in the "Capital management policy at XTB S.A.".

  • internal capital estimated in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Development and Finance of 8 December 2021 on the assessment of internal capital and liquid assets, risk management system, supervisory audit and evaluation, as well as remuneration policy in a brokerage house and a small brokerage house.

The capital requirement calculated in accordance with the IFR regulation is the higher of:

  • fixed overheads requirement
  • permanent minimum initial capital requirement
  • K-factor capital requirement

At date of preparation of the financial statement the highest of the above values for the Parent Company is the K-factor capital requirement.

The Parent Company calculates own funds in accordance with Part Two of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2019/2033 of 27 November 2019 on prudential requirements for investment firms and amending Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010, (EU) No 575 / 2013, (EU) No 600/2014 and (EU) No 806/2014 ("IFR").

33.1 Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

33.1.1 Carrying amount and fair value

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated as being close to their carrying amount. The fair value of loans granted and other receivables, amounts due to clients and other liabilities is estimated as being close to their carrying amount in view of the short-term maturities of these balance sheet items.

33.1.2 Fair value hierarchy

The Group discloses fair value measurement of financial instruments carried at fair value, applying the following fair value hierarchy which reflects the significance of input data used to establish the fair value:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for the assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2: input data other than quoted prices classified in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. based on prices). This category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using prices quoted in active markets for identical assets, prices quoted in active markets for identical assets considered less active or other valuation methods where all significant inputs originate directly or indirectly from the markets;
  • Level 3: input data for valuation of a given asset or liability is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

In the periods covered by the condensed interim condensed consolidated financial statements, there were no transfers of items between the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of contracts for differences (CFDs) is determined based on the market prices of underlying instruments, derived from independent sources, i.e. from reliable liquidity suppliers and reputable news, adjusted for the spread specified by the Group. The valuation is performed using closing prices or the last bid and ask prices. CFDs are measured as the difference between the current price and the opening price, taking account of accrued commissions and swap points.

The impact of adjustments due to credit risk of the contractor, estimated by the Group, was insignificant from the point of view of the general estimation of derivative transactions concluded by the Group. Therefore, the Group does not recognise the impact of unobservable input data used for the estimation of derivative transactions as significant and, pursuant to IFRS 13.73, does not classify such transactions as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

33.2 Market risk

In the period covered by these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group entered into OTC contracts for differences (CFDs). The Group may also acquire securities and enter into forward contracts on its own account on regulated stock markets.

The following risks are specified, depending on the risk factor:

  • Currency risk connected with fluctuations of exchange rates
  • Interest rate risk
  • Commodity price risk
  • Equity investment price risk

The Group's key market risk management objective is to mitigate the impact of such risk on the profitability of its operations. The Group's practice in this area is consistent with the following principles.

As part of the internal procedures, the Group applies limits to mitigate market risk connected with maintaining open positions on financial instruments. These are, in particular: a maximum open position on a given instrument, currency exposure limits, maximum value of a single instruction. The Trading Department monitors open positions subject to limits on a current basis, and in case of excesses, enters into appropriate hedging transactions. The Risk Control Department reviews the limit usage on a regular basis, and controls the hedges entered into.

33.2.1 Currency risk

The Group enters into transactions principally in instruments bearing currency risk. Aside from transactions where the FX rate is an underlying instrument, the Group also offers instruments which price is denominated in foreign currencies. Also, the Group has assets in foreign currencies, i.e. the so-called currency positions. Currency positions include the brokerage's own funds denominated in foreign currencies held for the purpose of settling transactions in foreign markets and connected with foreign operations.

A change in exchange rates, in particular, the PLN exchange rate, affects the balance sheet valuation of the Group's financial instruments and the result on translation of foreign currency balances of other balance sheet items. Sensitivity to exchange rate fluctuations was calculated with the assumption that all foreign currency rates change by ±5% to PLN. The carrying amount of financial instruments was revalued.

The sensitivity of the Group's equity and profit before tax to a 5% increase or decrease of the PLN exchange rate is presented below:

The sensitivity of equity is connected with foreign exchange differences in the translation of value in functional currencies of the foreign operations.

33.2.2 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of exposure of the current and future financial result and equity of the Group to the adverse impact of exchange rate fluctuations. Such risk may result from the contracts entered into by the Group, where receivables or liabilities are dependent upon exchange rates as well as from holding assets or liabilities dependent on exchange rates.

The basic interest rate risk for the Group is the mismatch of interest rates on bank accounts and bank deposits in which the Group invests its own cash, the mismatch in the interest rates the Group pays its customers for holding free funds in their cash accounts, and the impact of interest rate volatility on the valuation of the Group's treasury, government-guaranteed bonds and corporation bonds.

In addition, the source of the Group's profit variability associated with the level of market interest rates, are amounts paid and received in connection with the occurrence of the difference in interest rates for different currencies (swap points) as well as potential debt instruments.

Since the Group maintains a low duration of assets and liabilities and minimises the duration gap, sensitivity of the market value of assets and liabilities to calculations of market interest rates is very low. However, due to the significant involvement of XTB in Treasury bonds and government-guaranteed bonds, the interest rate risk was considered significant in the Group's operations.

Sensitivity analysis of financial assets and liabilities where cash flows are exposed to interest rate risk

The structure of financial assets and liabilities where cash flows are exposed to interest rate risk is as follows:

33.3 Liquidity risk

For the Group, liquidity risk is the risk of losing its payment liquidity, i.e. the risk of losing capacity to finance its assets and to perform its obligations in a timely manner in the course of normal operations or in other predictable circumstances with no risk of loss. In its liquidity analysis, the Group takes into consideration current possibility of generation of liquid assets, future needs, alternative scenarios and payment liquidity contingency plans.

The objective of liquidity management in XTB is to maintain the amount of cash on the appropriate bank accounts that will cover all the operations necessary to be carried on such accounts. For this purpose, the Group has implemented, among others, limits for the concentration of cash in banks by forming one banking group in order to limit excessive liquidity concentration in related parties. In order to manage liquidity in relation to certain bank accounts associated with the operations of financial instruments, the Group uses the liquidity model of which the essence is to determine the safe area of the state of free cash flow that does not require corrective action. Where the upper limit is achieved, the Group makes a transfer to the appropriate current account corresponding to the surplus above the optimum level. Similarly, if the cash in the account falls to the lower limit, the Group makes a transfer of funds from the current account to the appropriate account in order to bring cash to the optimum level.

The procedure also provides for the possibility of deviating from its application, and such procedure requires the consent of at least two members of the Parent Company's Management. Information on deviations is transmitted to the Risk Control Department of the Parent Company.

The Parent Company has also implemented liquidity contingency plans, which were not used in the period covered by the financial statements and in the comparative period, due to the fact that the amount of the most liquid assets (own cash and cash equivalents and Treasury bonds and bonds guaranteed by the Treasury) greatly exceeds the amount of liabilities.

As part of ongoing business and the tasks related to liquidity risk management, the managers of appropriate organisational units of the Parent Company monitor the balance of funds deposited in the account in the context of planned liquidity needs related to the Parent Company's operating activities. In the ICARAP process, the Parent Company, among other things, identifies factors relevant to liquidity and funding risks and assesses the adequacy of the level of liquid assets relative to the estimated level to ensure coverage of both current and future as well as potential extreme liquidity needs. Supervision and control activities over the balance of cash accounts are also carried out by the Risk Control Department on a daily basis.

In accordance with the IFR regulation, from 26 September 2021, the Parent Company maintains an amount of liquid assets equivalent to at least one third of the requirement for fixed indirect costs. The Parent Company's liquid assets for the purposes of IFR include, inter alia, unencumbered own funds deposited in bank accounts and Treasury bonds or bonds guaranteed by the Treasury denominated in PLN. As of the date of these financial statements, the Parent Company had a much higher level of liquid assets than required by the IFR regulation.

The contractual payment periods of financial assets and liabilities are presented below. The marginal and cumulative contractual liquidity gap, calculated as the difference between total assets and total liabilities for each maturity bucket, is presented for specific payment periods.

The chart below shows the carrying amounts of financial assets corresponding to the Group's exposure to credit risk:

* As at 30 September 2024 the maximum exposure to credit risk for financial assets held for trading, not including the collateral received, was PLN 455 044 thousand (as at 31 December 2023: PLN 444 180 thousand, as at 30 September 2023: PLN 518 810 thousand). This exposure was collateralized with clients' cash, which, as at 30 September 2024, covered the amount of PLN 432 222 thousand (as at 31 December 2023: PLN 419 508 thousand, as at 30 September 2023: PLN 509 784 thousand). Exposures to credit risk connected with transactions with brokers as well as exposures to the Warsaw Stock Exchange were not collateralized.

The credit quality of the Group's financial assets is assessed based on external credit quality assessments, risk weights assigned based on the CRR, taking account of the mechanisms used to mitigate credit risk, the number of days past due, and the probability of counterparty insolvency.

The Group's assets fall within the following credit rating brackets:

  • Fitch Ratings from F1+ to B
  • Standard & Poor's Ratings Services from A-1 to B
  • Moody's from P-1 to N/A

Cash and cash equivalents

Credit risk connected with cash and cash equivalents is related to the fact that own cash and clients' cash is held in bank accounts. Credit risk involving cash is mitigated by selecting banks with a high credit rating granted by international rating agencies and through diversification of banks with which accounts are opened. As at 30 September 2024, the Group had deposit accounts in 60 banks and institutions (as at 31 December 2023: in 54 banks and institutions, as at 30 September 2023: 52 banks and institutions). The ten largest exposures are presented in the table below (numbering of banks and institutions set uniformly for the reporting and comparative period and the counterparty credit risk concentration table, according to the recent period):

Financial assets at fair value through P&L

Financial assets at fair value through P&L result from transactions in financial instruments entered into with the Group's customers and the related hedging transactions.

Credit risk involving financial assets at fair value through P&L is connected with the risk of customer or counterparty insolvency. With regard to OTC transactions with customers, the Group's policy is to mitigate the counterparty credit risk through the socalled "stop out" mechanism. Customer funds deposited in the brokerage serve as a security. If a customer's current balance is 50 per cent or less of the security paid in and blocked by the transaction system, the position that generates the highest losses is automatically closed at the current market price. The initial margin amount is established depending on the type of financial instrument, customer account, account currency and the balance of the cash account in the transaction system, as a percent of the transaction's nominal value. A detailed mechanism is set forth in the rules binding on the customers. In addition, in order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Group includes special clauses in agreements with selected customers, in particular, requirements regarding minimum balances in cash accounts.

Due to the mechanisms in place, used to mitigate credit risk, the credit quality of financial assets at fair value through P&L is high and does not show significant diversity.

The Group's top 10 exposures to counterparty credit risk taking into account collateral (net exposure) are presented in the table below (numbering of counterparties fixed uniformly for the reporting and comparative period and cash concentration table):

Looking at XTB's revenues in terms of the instruments classes responsible for their creation, it can be seen that in the third quarter of 2024 CFDs based on indexes leaded. Their share in the revenue structure in the period analysed was 44,9% (Q3 2023: 25,4%). This is a consequence of the high profitability on CFD instruments based on the US 100 index, the German DAX index of stocks (DE40) or the US 500 index. The second most profitable asset class was CFD based on commodities. Their share of the financial instruments revenue structure reached 38,2% compared to 47,7% a year earlier. This is a consequence of the high returns on CFDs based on gold, natural gas and oil prices are quoted. Revenues from currencybased CFD instruments accounted for 14,6% of total revenues, compared to 22,2% in the previous year. The most profitable financial instruments in this class were CFDs based on cryptocurrency Bitcoin, the EURUSD currency pair and the cryptocurrency Ethereum.

The Group's operating income is generated from: (i) spreads (the differences between the "offer" price and the "bid" price); (ii) fees and commissions charged by the Group to its clients; (iii) swap points charged (being the amounts resulting from the

difference between the notional forward rate and the spot rate of a given financial instrument) and (iv) net results (gains offset by losses) from Group's market making activities.

The business model used by XTB combines the features of the agency model and the market maker model, in which the Company is a party to transactions concluded and initiated by clients. XTB does not engage, in the strict sense, in transactions carried out on its own account in anticipation of changes in prices or values of underlying instruments – proprietary trading).

The hybrid business model used by XTB also uses the agency model. For example, on most CFD instruments based on cryptocurrencies, XTB secures these transactions with external partners, practically is not to be the other party to the transaction (of course, from a legal point of view, it is still XTB). The fully automated risk management process adopted by the Company limits exposure to market changes and forces the Group to hedge its positions in order to maintain appropriate levels of capital requirements. In addition, XTB executes all transactions on shares and ETP as well as on CFD instruments based on these assets directly on regulated markets or in alternative trading systems. XTB is not a market maker for this class of instruments.

XTB's business model includes high volatility of revenues from period to period. Operating results are mainly affected by: (i) volatility on financial and commodity markets; (ii) the number of active clients; (iii) volume of concluded transactions on financial instruments; (iv) general market, geopolitical and economic conditions; (v) competition on the FX/CFD market and (vi) regulatory environment.

As a rule, the Group's revenues are positively affected by higher activity of financial markets due to the fact that in such periods, a higher level of turnover is realized by the Group's clients and higher profitability per lot. The periods of clear and long market trends are favourable for the Company and at such times it achieves the highest revenues. Therefore, high activity of financial and commodities markets generally leads to an increased volume of trading on the Group's trading platforms. On the other hand, the decrease in this activity and the related decrease in the transaction activity of the Group's clients leads, as a rule, to a decrease in the Group's operating income.

Due to the above, operating income and the Group's profitability may decrease in periods of low activity of financial and commodity markets. In addition, there may be a more predictable trend in which the market moves within a limited price range. This leads to market trends that can be predicted with a higher probability than in the case of larger directional movements on the markets, which creates favourable conditions for transactions concluded in a narrow range trading. In this case, a greater number of transactions that bring profits to clients is observed, which leads to a decrease in the Group's result on market making.

Market volatility and activity is driven by a number of external factors, some of which are specific to the market and some of which may be related to general macroeconomic conditions. It can have a significantly impact on the Group's revenues in subsequent quarters. This is characteristic of the Group's business model.

XTB places great importance on the geographical diversification of revenues, consistently implementing the strategy of building a global brand. The country from which the Group derives more than 20% of revenues each time is Poland, with a share of in the third quarter of 2024 47,47% (Q3 2023: 22,2%). Due to the overall share in the Group's revenues, Poland was separated for presentation purposes as the largest market in terms of revenues in the Group. The Group breaks down its revenues by geographic area according to the country of the XTB office in which the client was acquired. The exception is the Middle East region, which also presents revenues from clients from this market acquired by the subsidiary XTB International Ltd. based in Belize.

XTB puts also strong emphasis on diversification of segment revenues.

Revenues from this segment are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period, analogically to the retail segment, which is typical for the business model adopted by the Group.

Due to the dynamic development of XTB, the Management Board estimates that the total costs of operations in 2024 could increase by around a one-fifth to the level observed in 2023. The priority of the Management Board is to continue to grow the client base and build a global brand. As a result of the activities implemented, marketing expenses may increase by about one-fifth compared to the previous year.

The final level of operating costs will depend on the rate of employment growth and the level of variable remuneration components paid to employees, the level of marketing expenditure, the dynamics of geographical expansion into new markets and the impact of possible new regulations and other external factors on the level of revenues generated by the Group.

The level of marketing expenditure will depend on its impact on the Group's results and profitability, the rate of international expansion and the degree of client responsiveness to the actions taken. Employment growth in the Group is driven by its dynamic development in both on the existing and new markets. The level of variable remuneration components is influenced by the Group's results.

Clients

XTB has a solid foundation in the form of constantly growing client base and the number of active clients. In the third quarter of 2024 Group acquired 108 104 new clients compared to 67 505 a year earlier, which means an increase of 60,1%. The number of active clients was at a record high during the period analysed, increasing from 281 101 to 474 117, an increase of 68,7% y/y.

The Board's priority is to continue to grow the client base, which will strengthen XTB's position in the global marketplace by reaching the mass client with its product offering. These activities are and will be supported by a number of initiatives, including the introduction of new products or promotional campaigns. The Management Board's target for 2024 is to acquire an average of at least 65-90 thousand new clients per quarter. As a result of the activities implemented, the Group acquired a total of 129,7 thousand new clients in the first quarter of 2024, 102,6 thousand new clients in the second quarter of this year and more than 108,1 thousand new clients in the third quarter of this year. In turn, 47,2 thousand new clients were acquired in October 2024.

XTB's marketing activities are essential for driving the company's growth. By collaborating with athletes who serve as XTB ambassadors, the Group enhances its market position and boosts brand recognition in key global markets. In the second quarter of 2024, an agreement was signed with a new global ambassador, former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is considered one of the most renowned athletes in the world. The first advertising spot with his participation, was released on 22 September 2024. Once again, XTB has decided to collaborate with a renowned world-class athlete, whose social media profiles are followed by more than 120 million people worldwide.

All-in-One Investment App

The Management Board's ambition is for XTB to become the leading all-in-one investment application in Europe, providing clients with easy, smart and efficient ways to trade, invest and save, while giving them instant access to their money.

XTB's transformation from a CFD broker to an All-in-One investment application has progressed over the past few years. This will continue into 2024 and beyond.

Product pipeline

In 2024, XTB will continue to focus on acquiring new clients and expanding it by those interested not only in investing but also in widely understood financial products.

As such, the Company is not only enriching its offering, but also introducing changes aimed at enhancing the user experience of the investment platform and mobile application. All those changes and improvements have been carefully planned, which is reflected in the continuous growth of the Product and Technology department and the ongoing works and developments in the research & development area, including those related to the implementation of AI-driven solutions.

PRODUCT PLAN FOR 2024

At the turn of the third and fourth quarters, on 2 October 2024, XTB introduced a long-awaited individual retirement account (IKE) to its offering, allowing clients from Poland to invest under a tax shelter. As XTB sees potential in the further growth of long-term investment products, this offer will also be implemented in other global markets, including the UK, where the company plans to act as an ISA Manager.

At the beginning of October, a virtual wallet with a multi-currency card debuted on the Czech and Portuguese markets. Thanks to this product, XTB clients in these markets can now effectively manage their finances - both active and passive investments, as well as payments. The multi-currency card supports cashless payments in stores, mobile transactions, and contactless cash withdrawals from ATMs worldwide. The card, issued under a Mastercard license by DiPocket UAB (an electronic money institution registered by the Bank of Lithuania), can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay wallets, making everyday payments even more intuitive.

Thanks to this product, clients will be able to make payments between their XTB accounts instantly. Real-time alerts will support financial control and expense management.

The introduction of a virtual wallet with a multi-currency card is another step that illustrates the evolution that XTB has experienced. From an investment platform, well-known among active market participants, to an investment super-application for people who want to manage their finances effectively, both in the short and long term.

In other markets, the product will be introduced gradually over the coming weeks.

In addition, at the end of March 2024, the company launched a new social service, XTB Social, which allows users in selected markets to receive alerts on transactions of selected traders. Clients also receive insights into their portfolios and key statistics on the trades of those they observe. Within XTB Social, client data is completely anonymised and classified based solely on the basis of the investment return achieved or the level of risk taken. In June 2024, the Company decided to suspend this service in the European Union due to the position issued by the Financial Supervision Commission on 29 May this year regarding the conditions for the provision of social trading services by investment firms. In the coming months, following a thorough review of this position, XTB will take a decision on the continuation of the XTB Social service and its future form.

In 2025 and beyond, XTB plans to add other new products to its offering.

The above product roadmap is based on the current knowledge and resources. It is therefore subject to change and modification, including as a results of XTB's collaboration with third parties.

Dividend

XTB's dividend policy assumes that the Management Board recommends to the General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of dividend in the amount which takes into account the level of net profit presented in the Company's standalone annual financial statements and a number of various factors concerning to the Company, including the prospects for further operations, future profits, cash requirements, financial situation, the level of capital adequacy ratios, expansion plans, legal requirements in this respect as well as FSA guidelines. In particular, the Management Board will be guided by the need to ensure an adequate level of the Company's capital adequacy ratios and the capital required for the Group's growth when making its dividends payment proposals.

The Management Board maintains that its intention is to recommend to the General Meeting in the future to adopt resolutions on the payment of dividends, taking into account the factors indicated above, in the amount ranging from 50% to 100% of the Company's standalone net profit for a given financial year. The unit net profit for the nine months of 2024 amounted to PLN 669,2 million.

The levels of XTB's total capital ratio (IFR) by date in Q1-Q3 2024 are presented in the chart below.

Total capital ratio (IFR) of the Company in Q1 - Q3 2024

The total capital ratio informs about the ratio of own funds to risk-weighted assets, in other words, it shows whether the brokerage house is able to cover the minimum capital requirement for market, credit, operational and other risks with its own funds. At the end of the third quarter of 2024 the total capital ratio in the Company was 207,0%.

Cash and cash equivalents

XTB invests part of its cash in bank deposits and financial instruments, i.e. government bonds, bonds guaranteed by the State Treasury and corporate bonds guaranteed by the banks. As of 30 September 2024, the XTB Group's total own cash and bonds amounted to PLN 1 789,3 million, which represents 31,2% of the total balance sheet, of which 1 250,0 million was in cash and PLN 539,3 million was bonds.

2.5 Factors which in the Management's Board opinion may impact the Group's results in the perspective of the least the next quarter

The Management Board believes that the following trends have impact and will maintain and continue to impact the Group's operations until the end of 2024 and, in some cases, also longer:

  • The business model used by XTB Group (described in detail in section 2.2 Discussion of the Group's results of operations, under: "Revenues").
  • Continue to grow XTB's client base and reach the mass client with product offerings. This is key to XTB's continued dynamic growth and global brand building, which is directly related to the further expansion of XTB Group's product portfolio with new products and technology solutions, including offering clients an All-in-One investment application that provides easy, smart and efficient ways for clients to invest and save, while giving them instant access to their money.
  • The Group provides services for institutional clients within the institutional activity segment (X Open Hub). The products and services offered by the Group as part of the X Open Hub differ from those offered as part of the retail segment, which entails different risks and challenges. As a result, the Group's revenues from this segment are exposed to large fluctuations from period to period. The table below illustrates the percentage share of the institutional business segment in total operating income.

% share of operating income
from institutional operations
in total operating income
5,0% 6,8% 1,3% 0,3% 13.2% 8,7% 6,5%

The level of volatility in financial and commodity markets in 2024, regulatory changes as well as other factors (if they occur) may affect the condition of XTB's institutional partners, transaction volume in lots, as well as XTB revenues from these clients.

• Due to the dynamic development of XTB, the Management Board estimates that the total costs of operations in 2024 could increase by around a one-fifth to the level observed in 2023. The priority of the Management Board is to continue to grow the client base and build a global brand. As a result of the activities implemented, marketing expenses may increase by about one-fifth compared to the previous year.

The final level of operating costs will depend on the rate of employment growth and the level of variable remuneration components paid to employees, the level of marketing expenditure, the dynamics of geographical expansion into new markets and the impact of possible new regulations and other external factors on the level of revenues generated by the Group.

The level of marketing expenditure will depend on its impact on the Group's results and profitability, the rate of international expansion and the degree of client responsiveness to the actions taken. Employment growth in the Group is driven by its dynamic development in both on the existing and new markets. The level of variable remuneration components is influenced by the Group's results.

  • With a strong market position and a dynamically growing client base, XTB is increasingly boldly expanding its presence in non-European markets, consistently pursuing the strategy of creating a global brand. The Management Board of XTB is focusing on organic growth by increasing its penetration of the European markets and gradually building its presence in Latin America, Asia and Africa. As a results of these actions, the composition of the capital group may be extended with new subsidiaries. It should be noted that XTB's geographical expansion is a continuous process, the effects of which are spread over time. In 2024, the Management Board's efforts are focused on obtaining the necessary licences and permits and preparing the necessary infrastructure to launch operations in Brazil and Indonesia. The Company expects to be able to start operations in Indonesia in early 2025. As for Brazil, XTB is currently in the process of obtaining licences in this market, which is expected to take until 2025.
  • XTB's growth is also possible through mergers and acquisitions, especially with companies that would allow the Group to achieve geographical synergies (complementary markets). The Management Board intends to pursue such transactions only if they bring tangible benefits to the company and its shareholders.

Due to the uncertainty regarding future economic conditions, the expectations and forecasts of the Management Board are subject to a particularly high level of uncertainty.

6. XTB strategy

The strategy of XTB Group S.A. is based on the following areas of development:

The development of operations on the markets where the Group is present in Central and Eastern Europe and Western Europe

Key element of the Group's strategy is the use of its competitive advantages in the markets in which it is present, i.e. in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Western Europe, in order to increase its market share and take advantage of the growing demand for online investment services.

In Central and Eastern Europe, where XTB has a leading position (Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and Slovakia), the Group intends to continue expanding its customer base through sales and marketing activities aimed at increasing market share and taking advantage of high demand for CFD derivatives.

In Western Europe, where XTB is successfully operating in Spain, Portugal, Germany and France, the Group also intends to increase market share and satisfy demand using a combination of online marketing and educational programs for investors, which will enable to direct the Group's offer to clients with a specific profile.

The Group also expects its activities in online marketing will result in an increase in the number of international active accounts obtained through XTB Limited in the United Kingdom, which come from outside the markets constituting the main area of the Group's operations.

Expanding the Group's international presence by expanding into new markets, including markets in Latin America, Africa and Asia

The Group intends to develop its operations by expanding into new markets in Latin America, Africa and Asia. The Management believes that both Latin America, Africa and Asia are attractive regions for the FX/CFD market, with high growth potential. Developing operations in these markets, the Group will often be able to take advantage of the first mover advantage. Where it is necessary to conduct business, XTB will apply for the required licenses.

The Group's objective is to expand its operations to new markets by building local sales teams responsible for individual regions, which will enable XTB to adapt marketing campaigns to the specific culture of a given country/region. The Group has the necessary experience in terms of regulatory requirements and practices, it also has a solid capital base and access to advanced technology, which allows it to effectively expand its operations in these markets.

The Group plans to use its presence in Belize as a starting point for expansion and business development in other Latin American countries. Thanks to its presence in Belize, the Group can offer Latin American clients the benefits of a regionspecific approach and build their reputation as a trusted institution using sales, marketing and educational methods adapted to local cultural conditions.

The Group also expects its activities in online marketing will result in an increase in the number of international active accounts obtained through XTB International Limited in Belize, which come from outside the markets constituting the main area of the Group's operations.

Development of the institutional segment of operations (X Open Hub)

The Management Board plans to further develop cooperation with institutional clients under X Open Hub offering them two categories of products and services: liquidity and transaction technology or both together. The technologies provided by the Group enable its institutional clients to build a transaction environment to offer the same or similar products and services that are available in the Group's portfolio of products and services, and therefore potentially compete with XTB.

The importance of the Group's institutional business segment is systematically increasing, creating the potential for ensuring stable revenues and cash flows due to the growing size of this segment. A more diversified business profile enables the Group to more easily use new business opportunities in the institutional business segment.

The development of the institutional operations segment depends to a large extent on the acquisition of new clients. Contrary to the segment of retail operations, the acquisition of a potential institutional client is a relatively long process, usually lasting up to one year.

Expanding the Group's product and services offer and developing new technologies

The Group intends to develop its operations by offering new products and services to its customers. For this purpose, the Group will introduce financial products and services that will enable its clients to implement various investment strategies using one integrated transaction platform.

The technologies developed by the Group on its own are designed to ensure its competitive advantage over other suppliers of transaction systems in the field of system quality, as well as to enable to offer to customers more competitive products and services.

Development through mergers and acquisitions of other entities attractive for the Group, as well as joint ventures

The Group allows investments in attractive companies offering products and services similar to the Group's products and services, which may complement its product, service and geographical offer. It is however assumed, that the main growth of XTB will be organic growth.

As of June 30, 2024 and as at the submission date of this report the Parent company and its subsidiaries were not a party to any significant proceedings pending before arbitration authority. The most important of the ongoing proceedings are indicated below.

Court proceedings

The Company and Group companies are parties to several court proceedings related to the Group's operations. The proceedings in which the Company and Group companies appear as defendants are above all related to employees' claims and clients' claims. As at the submission date of this report the total value of the claims brought against the Company and/or the Group Companies amounted to PLN 15,2 million, which consists of one proceeding on employee claims, with a value of approximately PLN 80 thousand, seven suits brought by clients with the total value of PLN 12,4 million and moreover, one proceeding regarding the alleged failure to apply financial security measures by the Company in which, the value of the dispute is PLN 2,8 million.

In addition, there is a case pending before the European Union Intellectual Property Office brought by the Company for cancellation of the conflicting 'XTRADE' trademarks used by Xtrade Europe Ltd.

The most significant proceedings, in the Company's view, are:

  • lawsuit dated August 2019 regarding Company's alleged illegal actions delivered to the Company in December 2019 value of the claim is PLN 7 million. The management board finds client's claims groundless. The only reason for the loss of the customer was his wrong investment decisions. This has been clearly demonstrated, among others, during the audits of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) in 2016, in the subsequent correspondence of the company with the supervisor, and in the expertise of an independent consultancy company, Roland Berger, which analysed the client's transaction history. The analysis confirmed that the customer's transactions were not delayed, and the timing of his orders was even faster than the average for other clients;
  • lawsuit dated July 2020, delivered to the Company in November 2020 regarding the alleged failure to apply financial security measures by the Company. Value of the proceeding is approximately PLN 2,8 million. The damages were to consist in the Company's failure to apply financial security measures, which lead to effective appropriation of funds by an employee of the claimant, who was also a client of the Company. The Company considers the charges made in the suit to be completely unfounded. In June 2023, the court of first instance dismissed the lawsuit, finding no material violations on XTB's part. On August 22, 2023, the plaintiff filed an appeal. In September 2023, the files were transferred to the Court of Appeal in Warsaw. In September 2023, the file was transferred to the Court of Appeal in Warsaw, which served the appeal on XTB's attorney in March 2024. On 9 April 2024, a response to the appeal was filed. The court scheduled an appeal hearing for 10 May 2024, the hearing was subsequently postponed to 21 June 2024, 9 July 2024 and 9 August 2024 respectively. At a hearing on 9 August 2024, the Court closed the hearing and gave the parties the floor. Publication of the judgment was adjourned until 9 September 2024 and then until 8 November 2024.

Decision on product intervention on the Spanish market

On 11 July 2023, the Spanish National Securities Market Commission ("CMNV") issued a product intervention decision regarding financial contracts for difference and other leveraged products in the Spanish market (the "Decision"). The Spanish supervisory authority has implemented restrictions on the marketing, distribution and sales activities of MiFID II-regulated instruments and services provided to retail clients in Spain. The decision regulates bans and restrictions on CFDs, including in particular on marketing activities:

  • the direct and indirect marketing, distribution or sale of CFDs by means of communications to retail clients is prohibited – the sale of CFDs is allowed provided that it is at the sole initiative of the investor, as well as investment firms offering CFDs are prohibited from placing promotional information on their website for such products;
  • sponsoring or organising events, brand advertising, use of public figures, if their purpose or effect is directly or indirectly to advertise CFDs are prohibited;

The Management Board assesses that the issued Q&A may have a negative impact in the medium and long term on the number of clients acquired in the Spanish market and, consequently, on the level of revenues achieved in this market.
