2. Basis for drafting the financial statements

2.1. Compliance statement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on International Accounting Standards ("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 2025 to 31 March 2025 with comparative data for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 March 2024 and as at 31 December 2024, 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 2025.

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 14 May 2025.

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 signing of this financial statements, with the exception of subsidiary Tasfiye Halinde XTB Yönetim Danışmanlığı A.Ş. in Turkey and XTB Digital Ltd. Under liquidation in Cyprus 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.

2.5. 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the application of new or amended standards and interpretations applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.

▪ 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.

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 2025 did not have a significant impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.6. 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 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,
  • IFRS 18 "Presentation and disclosures in the financial statements" not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these financial statements – effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2027 or later,
  • IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosure of information" not yet endorsed by the EU at the date of approval of these financial statements – effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2027,
  • IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts" the endorsement process of these Amendments has been postponed by EU - the effective date was deferred indefinitely by IASB,
  • Amendments to IFRS 10 "Interim condensed consolidated financial statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" - sale or contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture – the endorsement process of these Amendments has been postponed by EU - the effective date was deferred indefinitely by IASB.

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-today 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. Exprected credit losses and impairment of assets

The Group recognises an impairment allowance for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9 for all assets measured at amortised cost. This allowance takes into account forecasts and expected future economic conditions in the context of credit risk assessment. In particular In the event of objective evidence of impairment resulting from events occurring after the initial recognition of financial assets and resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows, appropriate write-downs are charged to expenses for the current period. The Group assesses the impairment of overdue receivables and recognises a write-down for the estimated value of doubtful and irrecoverable receivables.

At the end of the reporting period, a review is carried out of fixed assets, including intangible assets, to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If such an indication exists, e.g. due to the expiry of a licence or decommissioning, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

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 33 – 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 2024, except for the new or amended standards and new interpretations binding for the annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2025.

5. Seasonality of operations

The Group's operations are not seasonal.

12. Segment information

For management reporting purposes, the Group's operations are divided into the following two business segments:

  1. Retail operations, which include the provision of trading in financial instruments for individual customers.

  2. Institutional activity, which includes the provision of trading in financial instruments and offering trade infrastructure to entities (institutions), which in turn provide services of trading in financial instruments for their own customers under their own brand.

These segments do not aggregate other lower-level segments. 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 Group's principles of capital management are established in the "Capital management policy at XTB S.A.". The document is approved by the Parent Company's Supervisory Board.

The policy defines the basic concepts, objectives and rules which constitute the Parent Company's capital strategy. It specifies, in particular, long-term capital objectives, the current and preferred capital structure, contingency plans and capital planning principles. The policy is updated as appropriate so as to reflect the development in the Group and its business environment.

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.".

As part of ICARAP, the Parent Company identifies significant risk factors and impacts and assesses its internal capital in order to define the overall capital requirement to cover all significant risks in the Group's operations and evaluates its quality.

  • 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

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 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 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.

The carrying amount of the Group's assets and liabilities in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date is presented below. The values for all base currencies are expressed in PLN'000:

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, governmentguaranteed 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.

* As at 31 March 2025 the maximum exposure to credit risk for financial assets at fair value through P&L, not including the collateral received, was PLN 602 952 thousand (as at 31 December 2024: PLN 487 458 thousand). This exposure was collateralized with clients' cash, which, as at 31 March 2025, covered the amount of PLN 589 615 thousand (as at 31 December 2024: PLN 476 195 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 31 March 2025, the Group had deposit accounts in 63 banks and institutions (as at 31 December 2024: in 63 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 so-called "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):

Other receivables

Other receivables do not show a significant concentration, and they arose in the normal course of the Group's business. Non-overdue other receivables are collected on a regular basis and, from the perspective of credit quality, they do not pose a material risk to the Group.

33.5. Climat risk

The identified risks will be incorporated into the internal risk management system, which is managed by the Risk Control Department headed by the Management Board Member for Risk, and the purpose of the unit is, among other things, to ensure comprehensive and informed risk management within the XTB Group, securing the continuity of the organisation's processes and operations. The ESG Team, managed by assigned owners of individual areas, is responsible for identifying, verifying and monitoring climate risks. The Risk Control Department, reporting directly to the Member of the Management Board responsible for Risk, is responsible for incorporating ESG risks into XTB's internal Risk Management System.

Issues related to the current climate policy, climate objectives and initiatives undertaken and planned are described in more detail on the XTB S.A. website.

During the preparation of this interim condensed consolidated financial statement, the impact of identified risks related to the climate was assessed and no significant impact of environmental issues on the presented disclosures was found.

The XTB Group's business model focuses on the person as the recipient of services and corresponds closely with the directions and objectives of the sustainable development strategy adopted by the Group. Its main focus is to provide clients with modern solutions to achieve their investment goals through instant access to financial markets from around the world. Key technology products helping to reach mass customers are XTB's proprietary investment platform and mobile app.

XTB Group's operating income arises:

  • from spreads (the difference between the bid and offer prices);
  • from the swap points charged (representing the cost of holding positions over time);
  • from the fees charged to clients;
  • from the net result (profits less losses) of the Group's market making activities.

In addition, as part of its operations, XTB earns interest income on client cash.

Diversification of revenues based on customer segments

The Group diversifies its revenues by providing its services to individual and institutional customers.

CUSTOMERS

INSTITUTIONAL
CUSTOMERS
legal entities

providing trading infrastructure to other entities that

brand for their own clients

services provided under X Open Hub brand

Diversification of revenues based on business markets

XTB Group is also diversifying its revenues geographically, consistently pursuing its strategy of building a global brand. The main market on which XTB generates more than 20% of revenue each time is Poland. In addition, the Group provides its services to customers in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.

XTB's management is placing the main emphasis on organic growth, on the one hand increasing its penetration of European markets, and on the other gradually building its presence in Latin America and Asia. Following these activities, the composition of the Group may expand to include new subsidiaries. It is worth mentioning

that geographic expansion is a process carried out by XTB on a continuous basis, the effects of which are spread over time.

XTB's growth is also possible through mergers and acquisitions, especially with entities that would allow the Group to achieve geographical synergies (complementary markets). Such transactions are intended by the Board to be implemented only if they involve tangible benefits for the Company and its shareholders.

Factors affecting financial and operational performance

It is inherent in XTB's business model that revenues are highly volatile from period to period. The Group's operational and

financial results are primarily influenced by:

regulatory environment

The business model used by XTB combines 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, strictly speaking, engage in trading in anticipation of changes in the price or value of the underlying instruments (socalled proprietary trading). The hybrid business model used by XTB also uses an agency model. For example, on most CFD instruments based on cryptocurrencies, XTB hedges these transactions with third-party counterparties, virtually ceasing 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 hedging of positions to maintain appropriate levels of capital requirements. In addition, XTB executes directly on regulated markets or alternative trading venues all transactions in equities and ETPs and CFDs based on these assets. XTB is not a market maker for this class of instruments.

As a general rule, the Group's revenues are positively affected by higher activity in the financial and commodity markets due to the fact that such periods see higher levels of turnover by the Group's customers and higher profitability per lot. Periods of clear and long market trends are favourable to the Company and it is at such times that it generates the highest revenues. Accordingly, the high activity of the financial and commodity markets generally leads to increased trading volumes on the Group's trading platforms. In contrast, the decline

in this activity and the associated decrease in transactional activity of the Group's customers mainly leads to a decrease in the Group's operating income.

Given the above, the Group's operating income and profitability may decline during periods of low financial and commodity market activity. In addition, there may be a more predictable trend with the market moving within a limited price range. This leads to market trends that can be predicted with a higher probability than larger directional movements in the markets, creating favourable conditions for range trading. In this case, a higher number of profitable transactions are observed for customers, leading to a reduction in the Group's market making result.

The volatility and activity of the markets is a result of a number of external factors, some of which are market specific and some of which may be linked to general macroeconomic conditions, which may materially affect the Group's revenues in future quarters. This is characteristic of the Group's business model

3. Development strategy

Today, responsible and modern business understands and can identify its impact on the surrounding environment, communities and regulations.

XTB S.A. Capital Group's activities in Q1 2025

1. Factors affecting operational and financial performance

The most important factors that significantly influence the financial and operational results generated by XTB are those indicated under Business Model.

Summary of the market environment in Q1 2025

The volatility observed in the first three months of 2025 was comparable to the market situation observed in Q4 and Q3 2024, especially in terms of the occurrence of long and clear trends.

One of the main elements influencing the market in the first quarter of this year was the economic policy of the administration of US President Donald Trump. His decisions, considered controversial, particularly in the area of international trade, fostered an atmosphere of unease among investors worldwide. Donald Trump decided to impose global tariffs on steel and aluminium at 25 percent, and at the same time announced the start of work to introduce reciprocal tariffs to offset trade barriers applied by other countries against the US. Then, in March, the US imposed 25 percent tariffs on products imported from Mexico and Canada, eventually limited to products outside the USMCA, the trade agreement reached between the North American countries during Trump's first term.

The combination of uncertainty and the perceived volatility of stock indices, attracted investors who turned their interest towards gold and the euro currency, considering them safe investments for a time of volatility in the US dollar.

In the first quarter of 2025, the most popular instruments among XTB clients in terms of the number of transactions concluded were the Nasdaq 100 index CFD (US100), gold, the EURUSD currency pair, the DAX index contract (DE40) and the S&P 500 index contract (US500). From the beginning of this year to the end of March, gold was the clear leader in terms of popularity, overtaking the US100 contract. It is worth noting that the gold prices in the first quarter increased by 19%. Gold started the year at \$2,625 per ounce, reaching a new all-time record of \$3,500 per ounce in April.

In the first quarter of this year, the EURUSD pair scored an increase of 4.5%, which is extremely rare from the perspective of currency market volatility and also considering the average change of (-) 0.5% over the last 20 years. The German DAX index contract gained more than 10% in the first quarter of 2025, motivated by growth in technology and arms companies. In contrast, the 5th most popular instrument in the list, the S&P 500 contract, lost more than 5.5% in the first quarter of this year.

In the following section of this Report present and discuss the key factors affecting the Group's financial and operating results for the three months ended 31 March 2025. In the opinion of the Management Board, also in the following quarters, these factors may have an impact on the Group's operations, operating and financial results, financial situation and development prospects.

4.1.Operating income

In Q1 2025, the Group recorded a record operating income of PLN 580.3 million (up 4.4% y/y and 24.7% q/q). Important determinants of their value were the consistently increasing number of active clients (up 76.5% y/y), combined with their high trading activity expressed, inter alia, in the number of CFD contracts concluded in lots (up 24.9% y/y), or in the trading of CFD derivatives in nominal value in USD million (up 61.2% y/y). As a result, derivatives traded amounted to 1 908.0 thousand lots (Q1 2024: 1 527.1 thousand lots) and in notional value to USD 937 867 million (Q1 2024: USD 581 865 million).

Q1 2025 was similar to Q4 and Q3 2024 in terms of market characteristics, in particular the occurrence of long and clear trends. Profitability per lot reached PLN 277 in the reporting period, down by PLN 67 y/y.

Revenue structure by class of financial instrument

Looking at the structure of the revenues generated in terms of instrument classes, it can be seen that in Q1 2025, CFDs (contracts for difference) based on indices led the way. Their share of revenue in the period under review was 52.3% (Q1 2024: 41.9%). This is a consequence of, among other things, high profitability on CFDs based on the German DAX stock index (DE40), the US 100 index or the US 500 index.

The second most profitable asset class was commodity-based CFDs. Their share of the revenue structure reached 29.1% compared to 48.7% a year earlier. This was related to with the high profitability of trading in CFDs based on natural gas, gold and coffee price quotations.

Revenue from currency-based CFD instruments accounted for 13.5% of total revenue, up from 23.2% a year earlier. The most profitable financial instruments in this class were CFDs based on the ripple and bitcoin cryptocurrencies and the EURUSD currency pair.

THE STRUCTURE OF REVENUE BY ASSET CLASS (in %)

Revenue structure by geographical markets

XTB Group diversifies its revenues in terms of the geographical areas from which it derives them. The principle has been adopted that revenues generated by a given client are allocated according to the country of the XTB office in which that client was acquired. The exception is the Middle East region, which also presents revenue from clients in this market acquired by the Belize-based subsidiary XTB International Ltd.

1 ) The subsidiary XTB International Ltd, based in Belize, acquires clients from Latin America and the rest of the world (outside Europe).

The item excludes revenue from customers acquired by this company originating from the Middle East region.

2 ) Revenue from clients originating in the Middle East, acquired by XTB International Ltd, based in Belize, and XTB MENA Limited, based in the United Arab Emirates.

In 2025, the Board's efforts will focus on obtaining the necessary licenses and permits and preparing the necessary infrastructure to start operations in Brazil and Indonesia. The Company expects to be able to start operations in Indonesia in the first half of 2025. As for Brazil, XTB is currently in the process of acquiring a licence in this market, which is expected to be completed in 2025.

For other markets, the Company boasts of having obtained a securities agent's licence in Chile, which allows it to offer shares of listed companies from the world and ETFs. The next step will be to launch operations in Chile. In addition, a second office has been opened in Dubai, as announced.

Revenue structure by customer segment

Segmental diversification of revenues is also important for XTB. To this end, the Group is developing, in addition to its retail segment, an institutional business under the X Open Hub (XOH) brand in which it provides liquidity and technology to other financial institutions. Revenues from this segment can fluctuate significantly from period to period, just as in the retail segment, a phenomenon typical of the business model adopted by the Group.

4.2. Costs

Operating costs in Q1 2025 stood at PLN 315.8 million and were PLN 110.9 million higher than those a year earlier (Q1 2024: PLN 205.0 million). The most significant changes occurred in:

  • marketing costs, an increase of PLN 59.9 million resulting mainly from higher expenditure on online and offline marketing campaigns;
  • wage and benefit costs, up by PLN 22.2 million, mainly due to an increase in employment;
  • commission costs, an increase of PLN 12.5 million resulting from higher amounts paid to payment service providers through which customers deposit their funds on transaction accounts;
  • other third-party services, an increase of PLN 12.6 million following mainly higher expenditure on: (i) IT systems and licences (up by PLN 8.3 million year-on-year) and (ii) IT support services (up by PLN 1.9 million year-on-year).

3 MONTH PERIOD ENDED

On a q/q basis, operating expenses were higher by PLN 48.0 mln, mainly driven by a PLN 24.2 mln increase in expenditure on online and offline marketing activities, followed by a PLN 10.8 mln increase in salaries and employee benefits, mainly resulting from an increase in headcount, and a PLN 6.5 mln increase in other external services, as well as a PLN 5.2 mln increase in commission expenses resulting from higher amounts paid to payment service providers through which customers deposit their funds on transaction accounts. These expenditures are being increased gradually and the activities to which the Company allocates them are closely linked to the achievement of its strategic objectives.

As a result of XTB's rapid growth, the Board estimates that in 2025 total operating expenses could be as much as approximately 40% higher to that seen in 2024. Management's priority is to continue to grow its customer base and build its global brand. As a consequence of the measures implemented, marketing expenditures may increase by approximately 80% compared to last year, while assuming that the average cost of customer acquisition should be comparable to what we observed in 2023 – 2024.

The final level of operating expenses will depend in particular: on the rate of growth of employment and the amount of variable remuneration paid to employees, the level of marketing expenses, the rate of geographical expansion into new markets and the impact of possible new regulations and other external factors on the level of revenue achieved by the Group.

The level of marketing expenditure will depend on an assessment of its impact on the Group's performance and profitability, the pace of overseas expansion and the degree of customer responsiveness to the activities undertaken. The Group's dynamic growth, both in new and existing markets, will contribute to employment growth. In turn, variable remuneration components will be influenced by the Group's performance.

4.3. Clients

XTB has a solid foundation in the form of an ever-growing base and number of active clients. In Q1 2025, the Group recorded another record in this area by acquiring 194 304 new customers compared to 129 747 a year earlier, an increase of 49.8%. Analogous to the number of new customers, the number of active customers was also a record. It increased from 416 607 to 735 389, an increase of 76.5% y/y.

The Management Board's priority is to continue the grow of client base leading to the strengthening of XTB's market position globally by reaching the mass customer with its product offering. These activities are and will continue to be supported by a number of initiatives, including the launch of new products, targeted promotional campaigns or financial education dedicated to the Company's clients and those interested in the world of investments. The Management Board's ambition in 2025 is to acquire an average of at least 150 000 - 210,000 new customers per quarter. Following the ongoing activities, the Group acquired a total of approximately 59,800 new customers throughout April 2025 (+68% compared to the same month in 2024).

4.4. Marketing activities

In addition to the development of technology, XTB's marketing efforts also remain a driving force. Their implementation is closely linked to the Group's strategic objectives: to steadily increase its share of the global fintech market, to strive to become one of the leaders in the international investment services market, and to win the mass customer.

In Q1 2025, XTB Group's marketing activity focused on domestic and international OOH Out of Home) advertising campaigns, i.e. using outdoor media such as billboards or posters in public spaces, e.g. at public transport stops, etc.

In Poland, the campaign promoted an IKE account and its slogan was "I start investing with IKE". In overseas markets, the campaign took place in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Portugal and Romania. At the same time, XTB also ran TV campaigns in the indicated markets.

Some of these activities will also continue in the second and subsequent quarters of 2025. The premise of the communication strategy for the current year, is the constant presence of the XTB brand in advertising media at home and abroad.

4.5. All-in-One investment application

The Board's ambition is for XTB to be associated with the leading All-in-One investment application in Europe, offering clients easy, smart and efficient ways to trade, invest and save, while providing instant access to their money.

The transformation of XTB from a CFD broker to a modern FinTech entity providing a universal investment application has been progressing in recent years. This transformation will continue into 2025 and beyond.

4.6.Product plan

In Q1 2025, XTB continued the intensive process of acquiring new clients that it had already started the previous year, with a particular focus on those interested in long-term passive investing and financial management in the broadest sense. The Company consistently strives to attract new groups of clients, which is made possible by providing a universal investment application, implementing new products and services and introducing changes that enhance the user experience of the mobile application and the XTB platform. The Company has been preparing systematically for all the changes and implementations for several quarters, as evidenced by the continuous development of the Product and Technology Department and the development and research and development work carried out by its team, also related to the responsible implementation of technologies based on artificial intelligence.

XTB started the first quarter of 2025 with the launch of its eWallet service for customers in Poland. Nearly 22,000 customers activated their virtual wallet during the period indicated, of which 43% in Poland and 57% from abroad. As of the end of March 2025, this service offers fee-free currency exchange via the XTB multicurrency card. This opportunity is available to all virtual wallet holders with no limits and no additional conditions. The eWallet is a service that provides a multi-currency card supporting cashless in-store payments, mobile transactions and contactless cash withdrawals from ATMs worldwide. It allows customers to maintain accounts currently in seven currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, PLN, HUF, RON and CZK, and fast and free transfers of funds between accounts. Customers have instant access to their funds and can pay with a card issued under Mastercard license by DiPocket UAB, an Electronic Money Institution registered with the Bank of Lithuania. The eWallet service is currently available to customers in Poland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

The next major changes to the product offering that were announced were introduced at the end of March this year and concerned the category of products dedicated to long-term savings, including for retirement purposes. In Poland, pending orders were added to the IKE account (Individual Retirement Account) in response to demand from XTB clients. For UK customers, the ability to transfer an existing ISA (Individual Savings Account) account to XTB has been provided. It is possible to transfer the entire account or only part of the assets.

The biggest news, however, was the launch of the PEA account (French: Plan d'Epargne en Actions) for clients in France. Holders of this account can invest in shares and ETFs with favourable tax conditions such as exemption from capital gains tax if investments are held in the account for at least five years. The maximum limit for PEA contributions is €150,000 per client.

In the next quarters of 2025, XTB will continue its strategy of building a universal investment application with an offering for every investor who wants to effectively manage their funds, both short- and long-term. The Company plans to launch another product in the long-term investment segment: the IKZE account in Poland.

The Company also sees potential for further growth in the active investor product segment. XTB is at the stage of further analysis and preparatory work related to the introduction of options. It is also the Company's intention to offer investors the opportunity to trade cryptocurrencies. In anticipation of the enactment of a law bringing Polish legislation into line with the MiCA Regulation, XTB is working on both drafting the necessary legal documents and making technological changes to the XTB application and platform to add cryptoassets to the offering.

The product plan presented above corresponds to the current state of knowledge and resources. While XTB plans to add new products to its offering later in 2025, the implementation of this plan is dependent on external factors beyond the Company's control, such as working with third-party providers, obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals or the passing of the Crypto Act, among others. As such, the product plan is subject to change and modification.

4.7. Building competitive advantages in FinTech

XTB, as a technology player in the financial sector, works continuously to design and develop highly innovative, comprehensive solutions in the field of transactions and online investment in financial instruments. This makes the Company a FinTech organisation. The aim of the above work is to develop innovative technologies and solutions to further develop the product range in particular. XTB owns a number of proprietary technology solutions, including the state-of-the-art xStation investment platform.

In Q1 2025, the Company launched an AI chat for selected group of

customers in Poland. Testing this solution in the domestic market will allow for its targeted roll-out to all markets where XTB has a presence. AI chat will support the operations of the Customer Support team. In addition, as a result of work started back in 2024, the operating panel (interface) of the mobile app was refreshed and simplified to make it more intuitive and not overwhelm new customers in particular with the number of available options.

The technological work that the Company is constantly carrying out is aimed at developing the tools necessary for the efficient functioning of XTB's trading systems, effective execution of orders, an efficient process of acquiring new clients (so-called onboarding) and the further development of tools supporting the Company's internal processes as a result of identified development needs. Among such major works that took place during the reporting period, one can point to the modernisation of the system architecture to improve efficiency and increase the security level of transactions.

Research areas focus on the functionality and security of the operation of systems, processes and databases. Research and development work is also being carried out aimed at developing new electronic trading systems.

In view of the business strategy adopted, which is based on the development of new technologies, the Product and Technology Department was separated within XTB's structure, where the vast majority of the staff are R&D professionals. The work in question has a significant, almost strategic impact on XTB's business operations. Not only do they translate into the level of revenue generated by XTB, but they are also key in the process of building and maintaining the Company's highly competitive position on the global capital market.

The table below shows the number of people employed in the Product and Technology Department and the costs incurred by this department:

4.8. Dividend

XTB's dividend policy is for the Board of Directors to recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of a dividend in an amount that takes into account the level of net profit as presented in the Company's separate annual financial statements and a number of different factors relating to the Company, including prospects for future operations, future earnings, cash requirements, financial position, the level of capital adequacy ratios, expansion plans, legal requirements in this respect, as well as and FSA guidelines. In particular, the Board of Directors 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 development when making its dividend payment proposals.

The Board of Directors reiterates 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 an amount ranging from 50% to 100% of the Company's standalone net profit for a given financial year. Unconsolidated net profit for Q1 2025 amounted to PLN 190.3 million.

On 1 April 2025, the Management Board of XTB S.A. adopted a resolution pursuant to which it recommended to the Supervisory Board and the General Meeting of the Company that the non-consolidated net profit for 2024 in the amount of PLN 855.2 million be distributed as follows:

  • by paying a dividend of PLN 640.8 million, i.e. PLN 5.45 per share,
  • retaining the remaining profit of PLN 214.4 million at the disposal of the Company, allocating it to reserve capital.

On 14 April 2025, the Company's Supervisory Board responded positively to the Management Board's proposal and accepted it in full. In doing so, it should be noted that the final decision on the amount and terms of the dividend will be taken by the Company's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, which has been convened for 14 May 2025.

TB's total capital ratio (IFR) levels in Q1 2025 are shown in the chart below.

As at on 31 March 2025, the XTB Group's total own cash and bonds amounted to PLN 2,202.4 million, or 29.5% of balance, of which PLN 1,769.7 million was attributable to cash and PLN 432.7 million to bonds.

6. Factors which, in the opinion of the Management Board, may affect the Group's results in the perspective of at least the next quarter

In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the following trends are influencing and will continue to influence the Group's operations until the end of 2025 and, in some cases, for a longer period beyond the current financial year:

  • The business model used by XTB Group (described in detail in the Business Modelsection).
  • Continued growth of XTB's customer base and reaching out to the mass customer with product offerings. This is key to XTB's continued dynamic growth and global brand building, which is directly linked to the further expansion of the XTB Group's product portfolio with new products and technology solutions, including offering clients an all-in-one investment application that allows them to invest easily and quickly and has guaranteed access to their funds at all times.
  • The level of volatility in the financial and commodity markets in 2025, regulatory changes as well as other factors (if any) may affect the health of XTB's institutional partners, lot trading volumes as well as XTB's revenues from these clients.
  • The Group provides services to institutional customers within the institutional business segment (X Open Hub). The products and services offered by the Group within X Open Hub are different from those offered within the retail business segment, and therefore present different risks and challenges. As a result, the Group's revenue from this segment is exposed to large fluctuations from period to period. The table below shows the percentage contribution of the institutional business segment to total operating income.

2.5% 4.4% 6.8% 1.3% 0.3% 13.2% 8.7%

▪ Further dynamic development of the XTB Group in Poland and on foreign markets will also be linked to a further increase in operating costs, which - in the Management Board's opinion - may in 2025 be at a level even higher by approximately 40% than the one observed in 2024. As a consequence of the measures implemented, marketing expenditures may increase by approximately 80% compared to

last year, while assuming that the average cost of customer acquisition should be comparable to what we observed in 2023 - 2024.

  • The level of marketing expenditure will depend on an assessment of its impact on the Group's performance and profitability, the pace of overseas expansion and the degree of customer responsiveness to the activities undertaken. Management anticipates that these costs in 2025 could be up to 80% higher than the expenditure realised the year before.
  • The Group's dynamic growth, both in existing and new markets, will contribute to the growth in employment. In turn, variable remuneration components will be influenced by the Group's performance.
  • XTB, with its strong market position and rapidly growing client base, is increasingly bold in building its presence in non-European markets, consistently pursuing its strategy of creating a global brand. XTB's management puts the main emphasis on organic growth, on the one hand strengthening its position on the European market, and on the other successively building its presence in Latin America and Asia. Following these activities, the composition of the Group may expand to include new subsidiaries. It is worth mentioning that geographical expansion is a process carried out by XTB on a continuous basis, with effects spread over time. In 2025, the Board's efforts will focus on obtaining the necessary licenses and permits and preparing the necessary infrastructure to start operations in Brazil and Indonesia. The Company assumes that the start of operations in Indonesia could be possible in the first half of 2025 As for Brazil, XTB is currently in the process of acquiring a licence in this market, which is expected to be completed in 2025.

Given the uncertainty about future economic conditions, the expectations and projections of the Executive Board are subject to a particularly high degree of uncertainty.

7. Position of the Management Board concerning the feasibility of meeting previously published result forecasts for a given year

The Management Board of XTB S.A. did not publish financial performance forecasts for 2025.

2. Information on sureties for loans or credits or guarantees granted by the Parent Company or its subsidiaries – to one entity or a subsidiary of that entity, where the total value of the existing sureties or guarantees is significant

As at 31 March 2025 and during the reporting period, i.e. from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025, neither the Parent nor any of its subsidiaries has provided sureties for loans or credits or guarantees to another entity or its subsidiary for which the total value of existing sureties or guarantees is significant.

3. Information on significant proceedings pending before a court, an authority competent for arbitration proceedings or a public administration body

As at 31 March 2025 and as at the date of approval this report, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries were not party to any material proceedings pending before a court, a competent authority for arbitration proceedings or a public administration authority. The most important ongoing proceedings are indicated below.

3.1.Legal proceedings

The Company and Group companies are parties to several legal proceedings related to the Group's operations. Proceedings in which the Company and Group companies act as defendants mainly relate to employee claims and customer claims. As at the date of approval this report, the total value of claims asserted against the Company and Group companies amounted to approximately PLN 16.3 million, of which one proceeding of approximately PLN 80 thousand was pending on employee claims. There are eight proceedings with a total customer claim value of approximately PLN 13.4 million pending, and one proceeding concerning alleged failure by the Company to apply financial security measures, in which the value of the subject of the dispute amounts

to PLN 2.8 million.

In addition, in the European Union's Intellectual Property Office there is one case pending brought by the Company and related to the cancellation of the conflicting trademarks "XTRADE" used by Xtrade Europe Ltd.

Key proceedings include:

  • a customer action from August 2019 concerning the Company's alleged illegal actions, delivered to the Company in December 2019, with a litigation value of PLN 7 million. The Board considers the client's claim to be completely unfounded. The sole cause of the client's losses was their erroneous investment decisions. This was clearly demonstrated, among other things, during an audit by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) in 2016, in the company's subsequent correspondence with the supervisor, as well as in an expert report by the independent consulting firm, Roland Berger, which analysed the client's transaction history. The analysis confirmed that the client's transactions were not delayed and that the execution time of his orders was even faster than the average for other clients;
  • an action dated July 2020 and delivered to the Company in November 2020 concerning an alleged failure to implement security measures, the value of which is approx. PLN 2.8 million. The damage allegedly caused to the plaintiff by XTB consisted of XTB's failure to apply financial security measures, which allegedly led to the transfer of funds by an employee of the plaintiff who was also a client of XTB. The Board considers the claim to be completely unfounded. In June 2023, the court of the first instance dismissed the claim, finding no material breaches on XTB's part. On 22 August 2023, the plaintiff filed an appeal. In September 2023, the case files were transferred to the Court of Appeal in Warsaw, which served the appeal to XTB's attorney in March 2024. A response to the appeal was filed on 9 April 2024. The court scheduled the appeal hearing for 10 May 2024, and the hearing was subsequently postponed to 21 June 2024, 9 July 2024 and 9 August 2024 respectively. At the hearing on 9 August 2024, the court closed the hearing and gave the parties the floor. Publication of the ruling was deferred until 9 September 2024, 8 November 2024 and finally 31 January 2025. At the hearing on 31 January 2025, the judge opened the closed hearing for the third time and adjourned the proceedings without a date.
