So good evening, everyone. I'm Antonio Guimarães, Investor Relations in XP. It is a pleasure to be here with you today. On behalf of the company, I'd like to thank you all for the interest and welcome you to the 2023 Third Quarter's earnings call. This quarter, we had a strong set of results, which will be presented by our CEO, Thiago Maffra, and our CFO, Bruno Constantino, who will also be both available for the Q&A session right after the presentation. If you want to ask a question, you can raise your hand on the Zoom tool, and we will attend you on a first-come, first-served basis. We also have the option of simultaneous translation to Portuguese, so there's a button on the Zoom if you want to turn on the translation. Before we begin our presentation, please refer to our legal disclaimers on page two, in which we clarify our forward-looking statements. Additional information on forward-looking statements can be found on the SEC Filings section of the IR website. Now I'll turn it over to Thiago Maffra. Good evening, Maffra. Thanks, Antonio. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us today on our 2023 Third Quarter earnings call. It's a pleasure to be here with you tonight. I will start with a brief introduction to this quarter's highlights and key updates. In the Third Quarter of 2023, we had a strong quarter, with increased top-line growth and profitability across different metrics. This quarter, despite the tough macroeconomic conditions that led to weaker organic net new money, we ended the quarter with BRL 1.1 trillion in client assets, reaching all-time high records in most of our investment KPIs. For this quarter, as a result of our continuous focus in executing our strategy, we achieved the highest net income in our history, at BRL 1.1 billion, up 11% quarter-over-quarter and 5% year-over-year. Our discipline in cost control has reflected in the best efficiency ratio in the last three years, at 37.3%, down more than 400 bps year-over-year and 100 bps quarter-over-quarter. As a result of our efforts, ROE rose 58 bps quarter-over-quarter, reaching 22.6%, the highest during the year. At last but not least, our diluted earnings per share increased 7% quarter-over-quarter to BRL 1.96, also the highest in our history. Moving to the next slide, I want to reinforce our three focus points. First, leadership in investments by protecting and expanding our core business. In this quarter, we have incorporated Modal's financials and operations, which should be fully integrated in 2024. At the same time, we have reached an all-time high in different investment KPIs, enhancing our capacity to reap the benefits of our leadership position, hand in hand with more positive market conditions. Second, superior product offering, translated into the continuous improvement of our new verticals performance. New verticals revenue grew 3x in the last 2 years and now represents 11% of our total last 12 months revenue. We are certain that expanding the product offering into new verticals was the right decision, enabling us to diversify our revenues and deliver growth even in a tough environment for the investment market. This evolution confirms our initial thesis of the importance of having clients' investments first. For example, in credit cards, we estimate we have 50% of penetration out of our total cardholders base. This is a clear example of many opportunities we will explore ahead in the proper time. Lastly, client focus. High quality and excellence in everything we deliver is a key pillar to achieve our long-term goals. We remain focused on that, maintaining the NPS above 70, at the top of the industry once again this quarter. High NPS directly translates into high share of wallet, and we see this consistently in our client base. High NPS directly translates into high share of wallet, and we see this consistently in our client base. Our strategy is centered on providing advisors with the best tools, technology, and products so they can better serve our clients. In this direction, we have evolved our incentive plans to advisors, providing them with more intelligent models and systems in order to improve clients' asset allocation, resulting in superior experience for retail investors. Moving to the next slide, as I mentioned earlier, we are happy to see improved profitability in our financial results for the quarter, while we have made progress on Modal's integration. Following an initial recovery in capital markets activity in the Second Quarter, DCM volumes have continued to increase in the Third Quarter, with all-time high revenue in corporate and issuer services. As we said in the last quarter, a faster recovery in retail revenue and net inflows may take more time, as it depends on better performance in riskier assets, which is tougher due to high interest rates. On the profitability front, we have increased three key metrics for XP: 74 bps in EBT margin quarter-over-quarter with higher operating leverage, plus 58 bps on ROE quarter-over-quarter, one of the main metrics we look going forward. +$0.13 in diluted EPS, despite the issuance of 18.7 million shares related to Modal's acquisition in the quarter. Talking about Modal, we already have fully consolidated Modal's financials into our Third Quarter results. In this First Quarter of integration, Modal has accounted for BRL 161 million in top line and BRL 111 million in SG&A. Lastly, in accordance to what we have been saying about returning more capital to shareholders, we just announced an additional dividend of $0.73 per share, to be paid in December 22, contributing to the optimization of our capital structure. Now, I will hand it over to Bruno, so he can discuss this quarter's financials. Thank you. Thanks, Maffra. Good evening, everyone. It's a pleasure to be here with you again. Starting with our gross revenue on the left part of the slide. This quarter, we reached record quarterly revenue in our history, BRL 4.4 billion, a 17% growth quarter-over-quarter, and 14% growth year-over-year. After discounting Modal's revenue contribution of BRL 161 million, XP ex Modal revenue would be BRL 4.2 billion, 10% higher than our previous record of BRL 3.8 billion, reached on Q3 2022. The sequential growth in gross revenue was mainly led by retail, which was responsible for 45% of the growth quarter-over-quarter, and corporate and issuer services, representing 37% of the growth quarter-over-quarter. Both retail and corporate and issuer services benefited from capital markets activity, especially in DCM, which we will explore in detail on the next slides. On the right, in terms of revenue mix between segments, the highlight is corporate and issuer services, with the strongest growth quarter-over-quarter, increasing its relevance by 57%, from 7.6% in Second Quarter to 11.9% in Third Quarter. On the next couple of slides, we are going deeper into retail revenue, first, focus on retail core and then on new verticals. Moving to the next slide. When we look at our core equities, fixed income and funds platform, the main highlight for the quarter is fixed income. We had a strong sequential improvement to BRL 718 million, all-time high fixed income quarterly revenue, representing a growth of 24% quarter-over-quarter. Our previous record was in Second Quarter 2022, when fixed income revenue reached BRL 580 million. As you know, fixed income revenue has two main components: secondary trading and distribution of primary offerings. The latter had a growth of 100% quarter-over-quarter and was five times the revenue of First Quarter, when we experienced a dysfunctional corporate bond market due to the impact of Americanas. We underwrote some offerings during this turbulent moment, aiming to distribute them whenever conditions return to normal. This had an important contribution to the record quarter. We continue to see a healthy DCM pipeline, but we expect the Third Quarter fixed income revenue to be the best quarter for the year. Funds platform had a slight decrease of 5% quarter-over-quarter, reaching BRL 323 million as expected, considering the Second Quarter had performance fees, which is seasonal and recognized at the end of every semester. Excluding revenue from performance fees from Second Quarter results, Third Quarter was 8% higher quarter-over-quarter. Lastly, equities revenue increased 6% sequentially to BRL 1.1 billion, positively impacted by Modal, approximately half of the growth, and a continuous gradual improvement over time in equities. Moving to slide 9. Our new verticals continue to grow well, reaching a total of BRL 442 million in Third Quarter, +52% year-over-year, and 11% quarter-over-quarter, enhancing our diversification and cross-sell opportunities. The main highlight of the quarter has continued to be cards revenue, reaching BRL 259 million, a growth of 12% quarter-over-quarter and 77% year-over-year. When we compare our quarterly growth in TPV with the market, based on recent data released by Abecs, XP grew 11% quarter-over-quarter, compared to 7% from the market. We expect cards to remain outperforming the other new verticals in the following quarters. Moving to slide 10. Coming back to total retail revenue.... We have updated this slide to include Third Quarter results. The two key messages we delivered last quarter still stand. Number one, XP is a cyclical grower company. Core retail revenue is the best demonstration of this cyclicality. The peak of BRL 8.3 billion in revenues in 2021 has not been reached yet again. Third quarter 2023, last twelve months, core retail revenue improved from last quarter to BRL 7.6 billion, reducing this gap that was BRL 1 billion last quarter to BRL 740 million this quarter. It is worth remembering that in 2021, our clients' assets were BRL 815 billion. Our active clients were 3.4 million, and our IFAs were 10.3 thousand. As of Third Quarter this year, the same KPIs are BRL 1.1 trillion of clients' assets, 4.4 million active clients, and 14.3 thousand IFAs. The development of the main KPIs in investments foster the way for potential upside as the market recovers. And number two, new verticals continue to help offset macro headwinds, diversifying our business and increasing the resilience of our model. If we compare the last 12 months revenue with 2021 revenue, new verticals have increased approximately 182%. In summary, there is potential for growth as the market recovers, although we expect a more gradual recovery considering the pace of interest rate cuts, the terminal interest rate debates, and the impacts for riskier assets. We keep increasing the resilience and diversification of our business model. Moving to slide 11, corporate and issuer services, together with retail fixed income, were the highlights of Third Quarter 2023 results. This shows the importance of our strategy to keep diversifying our revenue stream, opening new addressable markets as corporate, for example, and connecting everything with our core, retail. This quarter, corporate and issuer services revenue, which reached all-time high record at BRL 519 million, grew 83% quarter-over-quarter and 19% year-over-year. Corporate had its better quarter year-to-date, probably the best quarter for the year, reaching BRL 197 million of revenue, benefiting from derivative demand from our corporate clients, also related to DCM activity in the period. Issuer services reached the highest level in 11 quarters, at BRL 322 million, a growth of 105% quarter-over-quarter and 41% year-over-year. The positive results was led by DCM activity, as I already said, rewarding some underwriting we did with good corporate quality names in the First Quarter this year, when DCM market became dysfunctional after Americanas's event. We do not expect the same magnitude of revenue for corporate and issuer services in the Fourth Quarter. Moving to slide 12, total SG&A, excluding revenue from incentives, has increased to BRL 1.5 billion, as already anticipated in our previous quarter. The main impacts on Third Quarter were inclusion of Modal expenses, which represented BRL 111 million, and the seasonal expenses related to the Expert event, around BRL 60 million. The ratio between people and non-people expenses were 68% people and 32% non-people, in line with the long-term trend of 70% and 30%, respectively. When we gave our SG&A guidance between BRL 5 billion and BRL 5.5 billion for the year, Modal was not being considered. Even including Modal in our numbers, the SG&A guidance remains the same. On slide 13, as we said on the last earnings call, we remain focused on cost discipline, keeping both efficiency and comp ratios near all-time lows since our IPO. Last twelve months, efficiency ratio decreased from 38.3% to 37.3% quarter-over-quarter, close to our lowest level since Fourth Quarter 2019, when we reached 37.1% efficiency ratio. Compensation ratio decreased from 26.8% to 25.7% quarter-over-quarter, the best level in 12 quarters sequentially. It is natural to assume higher levels of comp ratio when compared to 2020, when our share-based compensation program was just kicking in. Our cost control discipline is a priority and has played an important role in our operating margins, which we are going to talk on the next slide... EBT, a good proxy for earnings power, reached BRL 1.157 billion this quarter, an 18% growth year-over-year, and 20% growth quarter-over-quarter. It is our all-time high quarterly EBT, beating the Fourth Quarter 2021 EBT at the peak of the last bull market cycle. Our EBT margin has also improved in the quarter, increasing 86 bps year-over-year, and 74 bps quarter-over-quarter, driven by operating leverage. Excluding Modal, our EBT margin would have been 28.8%. Our year-to-date EBT margin is in line with our annual guidance between 26% and 32% from 2023 to 2025. Moving to the next slide. Our net income also benefited from operating leverage, reaching BRL 1.087 billion this quarter, up 11% quarter-over-quarter and 5% year-over-year. Despite the best quarterly net income in our history, the growth has been lower when compared to EBT growth. We expect this to be the trend, given our accounting tax expenses should be higher going forward in the next years to come. In terms of net margin, Third Quarter 2023 presented a 26.3% margin, a 123 basis points decrease quarter-over-quarter, and a 218 basis points decrease year-over-year. Expert, Modal and higher tax expenses in the quarter are the main reasons behind lower net margin sequentially. Excluding the impact from both Modal and Expert in the quarter, net margin would have been around 100 basis points higher and flat quarter-over-quarter. Now moving to the last slide. Our return on average equity has continued to grow sequentially. In Third Quarter 2023, our annualized ROE reached 22.6%, increasing 58 basis points quarter-over-quarter, despite Modal's effect, which added BRL 2 billion to our equity. Excluding Modal, our return on average equity would have been 23.4%, an increase of 143 bps quarter-over-quarter. At XP, we have a conservative approach towards our balance sheet, but when we look at our capital ratio, plus our capacity to continue generating healthy profits over time, plus the lack of need to retain too much capital to grow, it is our desire to gradually reduce the level of our capital ratio at XP Inc. level. In Second Quarter 2023, our capital ratio was 24.2%. We ended Third Quarter 2023 with a capital ratio of 22.1%. The reduction quarter-over-quarter was mainly driven by the dividend payment of $320 million in September. Looking forward, we expect to end next year with a capital ratio below 20%, to a very conservative level. To get there, we need to continue expanding our net income and returning capital to shareholders. In that context, we have decided to pay an additional dividend on December this year of $0.73 per share, around $400 million. Now, both Maffra and I will be happy to take your questions. Great. Thanks, Bruno. So now we're moving on to the Q&A session. We have many hands raised here, so as usual, we will attend you on a first come, first serve basis. The first one today is Mr. Jorge Kuri from Morgan Stanley. Can you hear me? Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Hello? Hello. Now, now we hear you, Jorge. Oh, great. Thank you. Thanks. So sorry for that. And, congrats on, congrats on the results. I wanted to ask, now that we've seen more of the rate cuts this quarter, vis-à-vis the previous quarter, how do you see your retail revenues trending? In particular, how are you seeing equities and the funds platform behave so far this quarter? And you mentioned something, Bruno, that is evidently super important for the narrative on XP, which is the debate on the terminal rate for Brazil. So the Focus survey shows consensus moving rates up by year-end 2024. I think now it's at 9.25%. I know some economies are already at 10%. So I wanted to get your reaction on how does the business look again on the retail revenues, particularly equities. How does that look if we kind of like cannot go below 10% rates, at least during 2024? Thank you. Hello, Jorge, this is Maffra. Thank you very much for your question. Going straight to your point, we haven't seen yet any big change on the retail clients flow. So, we have been repeating that in the last calls and meetings with investors. When we are talking about retail clients, they are lagging. They will not move just because we see 150 bps cut on Selic rate. If you look, the level of interest rates is still very high, but more important than that, if you look the performance of riskier assets in the past 12 or 24 months, almost every asset class is losing to Selic rate. The only asset class that's not losing to Selic Rate, it's basically the LCIs, LCAs, the tax-exempt LIGs from banks when you gross up it back, okay? So, it's very hard to see retail clients moving if we don't see the price action from other assets going up. So that's my view. So we don't see yet any coming back from retail clients. Yeah. If I, if I may add, just one data point, Jorge, to what Maffra just mentioned. A moderate portfolio, moderate, not aggressive, in the past two years, is probably below 60% of the Selic rate. So that pretty much the picture that we have right now. And in this environment, it's hard to see, you know, the flow coming, although usually in moment like this, is especially, you know, the good moment to, to invest in, in those asset classes. So that's, that's the job that the advisors need to do, but it's hard for the individual to move in that direction. Individuals are being well remunerated to keep their money in cash, 12% per year. So that's, that's the picture. Thank you for that. Regarding the second part of my question on next year and the current expectations for rates maybe to settle, probably not much below 10%, how do you envision the retail investor base, as such? I mean, we are positive for, you know, the future, considering interest rates have already started coming down, and we believe that's one path to see riskier assets performing better. So whenever the assets are performing better, they tend to attract more individuals and more flow to the assets, to the funds and so on. If you ask the portfolio managers, we know because we are the largest funds platform in Brazil, if you look at, you know, the performance of multi-market funds, for example, everybody's below the, you know, the hurdle. So whenever you have those funds performing better and interest rates going down, again, it's a precondition for that to happen. We believe we're gonna see a better market environment. It's more about the performance of riskier assets than the level, terminal level of interest rates by itself. Great, thanks for that. Congrats again. Thanks, Jorge. Next one in line is Mario Pierry from Bank of America. Hey, guys, good afternoon. Let me ask then two questions. One is a follow-up to Jorge's question, but if you could discuss a little bit more about the productivity of the IFAs, right? Because we see your inflows on a standalone basis of BRL 14 billion only in the quarter. This is a drop of 60% year-on-year. But your IFA base expanded by 25%. So can you... You know, I get that the high rates, negative impact, but, you know, like, the productivity of your IFA network has declined quite a bit. If you can just discuss, you know, what you think is impacting, how can that improve? Also, if you can give us any perspective on the inflows throughout the months of the quarter, were they fairly even, or did you see a like a drop-off in September? And then the second question is a quick one related to Modal. We see that your headcount increased by about 700 people, roughly 600-600, yeah, well, I think it was about 700 people, even though Modal only brought in about 200,000 clients. So how do you think, you know... Are there like any cost synergies to be realigned with Modal? Have you already achieved that? If you can give us some color on that also, that'll be helpful. Thank you. Thank you, Mario. This is Thiago. So, to your first question, for me, it's the same reasons that we already mentioned on Jorge's question, about the performance of riskier assets, macro environment, and so on. And of course, the productivity of the IFAs, they are much lower this year than i t was in the past for the same reasons we already mentioned, but we are keeping investing on expanding the IFA numbers, the internal advisors, because we believe investments is made by humans, by advisors, and when the market comes back, we are ready to capture market share and growth. But again, for the same reasons, the level of productivity is much lower. On your second question about Modal. We received the approval in July. July. July first. So we are at the very beginning of the integration, and for sure we have a lot of synergies. And probably the easiest way to answer your question, we believe already in 2024, the deal will be accretive on earnings per share basis, okay? So on earnings, we will already be accretive in 2024. Yeah. For that, for that to happen, we need Modal and Modal's clients, because we, we have already migrated part of the clients to XP and Rico brand, to deliver a bottom line above BRL 150 million. So that's, that's the threshold to make it accretive in EPS base, and we believe we can achieve that next year. Okay, let me ask a couple follow-up questions then. Like, what was the net impact of Modal this quarter on your bottom line? You talked about revenues and SG&A. What about the bottom line? Was not relevant. Something around $20 million. $20 million. Okay. And then to go back on the question about the inflows. Were the inflows relatively stable throughout the quarter, or did you see, like, a drop in September or an acceleration in September? And also, you know, how do you think about your market share, right? Like, because the inflows, the organic inflows decelerated quite a bit. We saw data from some of your other peers that showed, like, higher inflows than what you had. So, you know, some people are starting to speculate if you have already reached a mature market share, that you know, it will be very difficult for you to continue to gain share. How do you feel about that? Yeah. Regarding your first part of the question, Mario, we prefer not to answer on a monthly basis, and the main reason is that we believe it's misleading for investors. The business has already a lot of volatility on a quarterly basis, imagine on a monthly basis. Regarding your second part of the questions, we still feel confident about the potential. We are planting the seeds. We can talk better about the affluent client, where we have the highest share among the segments that we have in terms of client assets in XP platform. And the affluent client, it's the scenario we described already with the industry performance, the fund's performance, and so on, and being well remunerated to stay in cash. So we believe it's the cyclical part of our business, and we are still investing because it's cyclical, so it will... The tide will turn at some point, and we're gonna be ready and bigger. The ecosystem now is much bigger. It's that slide that I talked about for the Third Quarter consecutively that shows the potential of the core in retail, that is still not an all-time high in terms of revenues, but in terms of the KPIs of investments, client assets, active clients and number of advisors, all of them are in all-time high. So we believe there is room to grow in terms of market share. Okay. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Yeah. Thanks, Mario. And now next one is Thiago Batista from UBS. Batista, can you hear us? So let's move to next one and try to get back to Batista later. Next one then is Mr. Tito Labarta from Goldman Sachs. Hi, good evening. Thanks, Antonio. Good evening, Maffra and Bruno. Thanks for the call and thanks for my questions. Again, a little bit of a follow-up, but maybe to play a little devil's advocate, Bruno, and that slide you mentioned, slide 12, right, where, you know, the core revenues are down despite all the investments that you made. I understand the cyclicality of the business, but, you know, you can look at this, that you've made all these investments and your revenues are down, right? So aside from interest rates, do you think there's anything else at play there, maybe competitive environment has gotten tougher, which is also why your revenue is down, and, you know, as rates do come down, you know, do you need rates to get below that 9% level to go back to those all-time highs? Just to understand, like, how sensitive it is to rates, is there anything else going on in terms of competition or something else that could potentially limit the upside that you potentially see when things improve? Sure, Tito. First, let me start saying that we invested a lot in the new verticals. Okay? So and the revenue is up. It's like 182% up when we compare the last twelve months to 2021. The investment that we've made in advisors for the core business, it's... I mean, we, we've been innovating in the IFA industry. What we are, we are doing, we are investing in people that are outside the financial industry, that wanna make a career change. We use all the education part of our company as an enabler. We started as an education business, as you know. And we have been using all of that through models training to form new advisors, because we strongly believe this is a business of relationship, a human contact, and if we have the right people with the soft skills and we give the tools so they can understand about the financial market, and they can create this relationship and trust with the client, that's a good way to go. So it's not a heavy investment there. And again, we believe whenever the macro helps, we believe there is a huge potential and high operating leverage in that part of the business, the core one. Your second part, I forgot. If you can repeat? You know, I mean, I guess it's just a little bit related to the level of rates. I mean, do you need rates to go below the 9% level to see that inflection or, you know, yeah, throughout 2021, right? I mean, rates were coming from as low as 2%, right? So how low do you think rates need to go to get... to see the benefit? It's hard to say a number, honestly, because we don't know. If rates are above 10%, but riskier assets are performing really well and delivering returns higher than that, it's a good environment. If we need single-digit interest rates for that to happen, then we will have to wait for single digits. So I don't have, like, a precise answer to your question, but I think we are in the good trend, but at a slower pace than we would like. But again, we do not control that. Sure. No, understood. Thanks, Bruno. Maybe just one quick follow-up on the inflows. I think in the past, I know your net inflows are low, but you mentioned in the past that your growth inflows actually much, much higher, right? So you are seeing outflows. Any color you can give on how growth inflows are doing? Yeah, it's stable. It's not improving, but it's also not deteriorating further. Where we have more volatility in terms of gross inflows and outflows is in the corporate and company clients that, you know, with the threshold of BRL 700 million of annual revenue, it's allocated into retail client assets. So there, we have more volatility. Okay, great. Thank you, Bruno. Thanks, Tito. Next question comes from Gabriel Gusan, from Citi. Hey, guys, good evening. So a couple of questions. First, can you remind us what is inside of the revenues and the main contributions there, and why we saw such a strong pace this quarter, both in the sequential comparison in year-over-year? And also we saw this quarter your effective tax rate come up, both in the accounting and the managerial view. Can you remind us why is that? What's the driver of these ups and downs? Thank you. I'll take that. Gusan, thanks. Other revenue, by definition, it's, you know, everything that we cannot allocate in the other segments: retail, institutional, corporate, and insurer services. The main revenue there, it's the remuneration over our own cash, ALM, asset liability management. But we also have a lot of other stuff that does not fit in the previous segments that I just mentioned. In Third Quarter, specifically, we had some one-offs impact that made the revenue higher that we do not see happening in the following quarters. Like for example, we had the termination of the SPAC. There was a financial positive in that with an associated expense. So net impact for EBT was zero, but something around BRL 40 million impacted positively the revenue and also negatively impacted the SG&A. And regarding effective tax rate, Third Quarter, basically capital market activity. That's what explains. The DCM activity, a lot of revenue at the broker-dealer level. If you look at securities placement in our accounting income statement, you're gonna see all-time high there, and broker-dealer has 40% tax bracket, so it pushes up the accounting effective tax rate. When we look with a longer time horizon, it's our expectation that EBT should be growing at a faster pace than net income, exactly because effective tax rates should be higher going forward. But that's on an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, there is gonna be volatility. Perfect. Thank you. Great. Next one, is Eduardo Rosman from BTG. Hi everyone. Congrats on the numbers. I have a question on your credit card business. We've been able to see very strong growth in revenues, but I wanted to know if we should be thinking about this business as a, as an important bottom line contributor in the future or not, right? I ask that because, as far as I know, you know, your clients that invest a lot, probably you have to offer, like, cashback or invest back. You have a lot of benefits, you know, your clients do not go into revolving. So just wanted to try to, to understand if still, if it's possible to, to generate, you know, good amount of bottom line in the future with that business, and also trying to understand, you know, your risk appetite, right? We just saw the market as a whole going through problems, right? I think clearly you didn't face the same headwinds, but just trying to understand, you know, if you could increase your risk appetite, you know, and eventually attract, you know, more clients, you know, that don't have a lot of agency with you, you know, using the credit card to do that. Right. So thanks a lot. Thanks for the question, Rosman. Well, first, when we look at the bottom line of, or the contribution margin of credit cards as of today, is still negative, but we expect, like, that to change, I would say, at the end of this year, beginning of next year. So it will start to be positive contributor on margin for XP, okay? So as you know, the business of credit card, there is a J curve, as we are escalating, issuing new cards, but we are at the point to become positive, okay? When we look at NPL, of course, we have a big part of o ur portfolio, something like BRL 4.5-5 billion out of BRL 7 billion, that's collateralized. So the NPL is, it's very low, okay? But when we look the whole portfolio, it's close to the NPL of over 90 days, is close to 1%, okay? And when we look the provisions we have, today is 2%, so we have two times provisions over what we are realizing on NPL. So that's basically... It's because of the profile of the customers we have, of course, okay? So the NPL that we have is much lower than what the market has, okay? So we have been expanding the portfolio at Rico brand that has a higher NPL, but with a very good RA ratio, when you look the revenues over provisions, so that is still very good. No, great. Great, Maffra. If I may, just another question here on another topic, right? I think Bruno was talking about, you know, that the company has excess, let's say, capital, right? And you actually paid a lot, right, this year, right? If we add, you know, buybacks, you know, and the dividends, I'm assuming here, let's say BRL 4.5 billion, which is more than 100% of the net income, right? Naturally, I don't think that that's sustainable over time, but just trying to understand, you know, if it's your idea to, over time, to keep paying, you know, dividends and/or kind of buybacks, you know, on a recurring basis in the future. Thanks. You want me to take that, Maffra? Yeah. Yes. The answer is yes. We are gonna keep returning capital to shareholders through buybacks or dividends. And what I mentioned in the presentation, when we look at our capital ratio at XP Inc. level, we ended this quarter, Third Quarter, above 22%. So it's to under leverage. We are conservative in terms of our balance sheet. We are not gonna, you know, be where the banks in Brazil, for example, that we compete against, usually are, with a capital ratio around 14%-15%. But we see room to leverage a little bit more, especially considering that we have a bank now. We are under corporate restructuring in our group to, you know, have the bank as the parent company of the prudential conglomerate with the broker-dealer below it. And that's something ongoing in the central bank, and that will give us, you know, the possibility to use the bank better. And by that, I mean, as the main vehicle for funding instruments, because a bank, as you know, can fund itself at a cheaper and in with a strong depth in terms of market achievements. So going forward, we are gonna keep our profitability, we expect to keep growing our earnings, and we do not need to retain capital to keep growing. With that in mind, yes, you can expect us to, you know, keep distributing capital to shareholders as we move forward. Great. Great. Thanks, Bruno. Maffra. Thank you, Rosman. Now let's try to connect with Batista again from UBS. Batista, please. Hi, guys. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Okay, okay, sorry for the other time. I have one question about the profitability of XP. You already mentioned in the past that we should achieve 30%, and... But when do you believe this is possible? Would be 10 years, 5 years? I want to have a time horizon for this. Because when we look for international peers, we can see some players like Fineco that has an ROE of 30%, but we also have a Charles Schwab with ROE of 20%. So trying to see when, if it's 3, 5, 10 years horizon to achieve this level. And the second question is a follow-up about that new money. I know that you answered already a lot, a lot of questions about it, but how negative has been the letters LCI, LCR or LIG. How much negative has been those instruments for XP? And if part of the corporate, corporate structure that you just mentioned is to be able to issue LCI, LCA. LCI is difficult, but at least LCA, LCR. So if this is linked with your corporate structure. Start with the ROE question. We didn't set a target for ROE. The 30% that you mentioned, Thiago, is basically a math equation based on the Second Quarter earnings result that we said: Look, if we take out of the capital, the excess capital, and we also discount from the BRL 977 million of net income in the Second Quarter, the remuneration post-tax of that excess capital, and we annualize that new net income and divide it by the new equity, we would get close to 30%. So that was just, you know, a math calculations to say: Look, we have the potential as we move forward and, you know, start distributing more capital to shareholders. Again, keeping our balance sheets in a very conservative way in terms of liquidity, in terms of leverage, and so on. We are not gonna change that, but using better the vehicles that we have in the group, leveraging more and reducing our capital ratio as we move forward. The time horizon for that, I rather not answer you directly because otherwise it would become our guidance, you know, when we are gonna achieve the potential 30% in the future. What I can tell you is that there is a plan ongoing in the company in terms of corporate restructuring, in terms of, of course, controlling efficiency ratio. That's a must. We are not gonna take our eyes out of the ball in terms of efficiency ratio. 2, keep evolving net income and, you know, controlling the capital ratio. So as I mentioned in the call, we wanna end next year with a capital ratio below 20%, and we only gonna achieve that keeping our profitability, if we distribute capital to shareholders. Regarding the net income, was the net inflow question, right, Thiago, the second one? Yes, the second question is about the LCI, LCA and LIG. How bad the impact- Yeah, yeah, the impact. It's hard to say how much, right? We know there is more than BRL 2 trillion sitting on cash in the system right now, more than that. And we know that when you have these banking funding instruments being favored because of the macro conditions, it becomes much more a balance sheet business than an investment business by itself. And XP does not have the balance sheet that our competitors have. We do not want to have, and in times like that, we have less products like this one. Of course, we have a lot of fixed income products with good returns. We try to compensate that with other offers I mentioned in past. I don't know if calls or conversation with investors. For example, we did an agreement with one of the big five banks to buy some LCI from them, and we could distribute BRL billions in a matter of a few months. So there is appetite in our client base to buy that type of product whenever the market is like the way it is right now. But we do not have the balance sheet business as of the banks. That's for certain. The last follow-up. Sorry, Bruno, but in your corporate structure, to trying to become a bank, is to trying to issue at least LCR? Or not? Not, not really. That's not the plan. The plan, again, we, the strategy started to go beyond investment, so we could have, other products to make our clients, you know, get rid of the incumbent banks and, and, and cut completely the link with the incumbent banks. That was the strategy. We are following up that strategy as we move forward. And by having a bank, it give us the possibility with this corporate restructuring, to put the bank as the main entity in Brazil for funding purposes, and then we can leverage more, we can lower the cost of funding. Just to give an example, we have a corporate bond issue at XP Investimentos S.A., roughly BRL 2 billion. It doesn't make sense. The bank can issue, a financial bill at a cheaper cost, and easily. It makes part of, you know, the strategy to have a better corporate structuring, and it's natural. We are moving forward, as we develop the bank. It's not to have LC, because then it becomes a balance sheet business. Thank you. Very clear. Thank you, Batista. Now we have Neha from HSBC. Hi, Neha. Hi. Congratulations on the results, and thank you for taking my question. Just had a quick clarification on what you mentioned about the Modal transaction. So, what was the impact this quarter, and when do you expect the transaction to be accretive? And what is the level that is required to be accretive? Just clarification of that, it's not very clear. Thank you so much. As Bruno mentioned, t hank you for your question, Neha. As Bruno mentioned, the net income impact was close to BRL 20 million, positive, okay? We expect the deal to be accretive in 2024. As Bruno mentioned, to be accretive, we'll have to make BRL 150 million net income or more. Okay, so that what we expect for 2024. Perfect. Super clear. Thank you so much, Steven. Thanks, Neha. Now we have, Geoffrey from Autonomous Research. Hello, thanks very much for taking the question. And apologies for the background noise here. Quick one on the DCM revenues. Clearly, there were some big DCM deals in the quarter. Was there also an impact to retail revenues from those, I guess, on the distribution side? And could you help us quantify it? Thanks. Yeah. DCM, as you, as you know, there is a secondary trading part and a primary issuance part. That is the channel fees. In this quarter, we do not disclose, Geoffrey, exactly the numbers between secondary and primary. What I can tell you is that secondary is still the most relevant one, and it was more relevant than primary in the Third Quarter this year. But when we compare to previous quarters, the primary component of revenue in Third Quarter compared to Second Quarter, for example, was approximately double. So yeah, we did have some, some very good offers in terms of, you know, channel fees that helped fixed income to reach this historical revenue in a quarterly basis of BRL 718 million. Okay, thank you. And then just a quick clarification. The capital adequacy ratio at XP Inc. you've been discussing of 22, just over 22%. Do you disclose the numerator and denominator on that anywhere? Yeah. Basically, our total RWA, as we calculated, it would be around BRL 78 billion. So basically, we have a, you know, balance sheets north BRL 230 billion. So one third of our balance sheet is assets with risk. The other parts, basically no-risk assets. Great. Thanks very much, and apologies again for the background noise. No worries, Geoff. And now the last question from Yuri Fernandes, Fernandes from JP Morgan. Thank you, Bruno, Maffra. I will limit myself to one question, just on expenses, here. This quarter was a little bit confusing, right? You had Modal, revenues were super strong, and I think these also usually trigger higher expenses, but you are within your guidance, right? Even if we assume another Q4 similar to the Third Quarter, you still will be able to deliver your SG&A guidance, even with Modal. So just some qualitative takes from you guys. How do you see expenses? Do you believe expenses should, I don't know, accelerate? Because for some reason, you invest more or you need to normalize, I don't know, compensation for XP or no? Or do you see more room for operating leverage and having, you know, expenses growing below revenues for 2024? Anything you can share on expenses, I think, will help us to understand a little bit the outlook, because you already made it clear during the call that revenues are not totally there yet on retail. Like, there are some improvements here, some improvements there, but revenues are still, you know, from, from my take here, a little bit challenging. But on expenses, you, you are doing a good job. So I would like to hear from you your take on expenses. Thank you. Thank you, Yuri. Going to your question, as Bruno already mentioned, this quarter we have some impacts, okay? The first one is Expert. We have the revenue, and we have the expense. We have the SPAC that Bruno mentioned, and of course, we have Modal, that we consolidated the number that we opened, that it was BRL 101 million, okay? So if we sum up all these effects, it's above BRL 200 million, okay? So, when we look the year, the projection for the year, we will be delivering the target that we mentioned. The guidance that we gave, we will be there. Remember that the guidance we gave was excluding Modal, and now we are including Modal in the number. And for next year, we don't need to do any big investment, okay, to grow. That's why we have been saying about the operational leverage that we have. We don't need more investments to do more revenues on the core business investments. Of course, for all the reasons we mentioned here about the market, the riskier assets performance, and so on, we don't know when we will see this recovery on the retail revenues, but once it happen, we expect to have gains of margin here. And what I can tell you is, for next year, we will continue to pursue better efficiency ratios. Of course, we cannot guarantee, and we will not give any guidance for that for next year, as we already mentioned, but, you guys have our commitment that we are going to pursue even better efficiency ratios in 2024. Super clear, Maffra, and congrats on the quarter. Thanks, Yuri. Thank you for your question. It was the last one, so we would like to thank you all for participating in the call. We will be available with the IR team to discuss the results with you later. Have a good night, everyone.
