São Paulo, 26 April 2021

Today, we announce the results corresponding to the 1st quarter of 2021.

In Q1-21 our revenues were R$124.2mn due to the sustained growth reacceleration started in Q3-20 and expansion of our credit portfolio. The continued high quality of our credit portfolio and resilience of debt capital markets enabled us to resume the accelerated growth path that we had prior to the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic and resulted in a record new loan origination of R$420.7mn in the quarter.

Contribution margin (discounting funding costs, servicing costs, credit provisions and taxes) stood at 53.1% as we continue to increase the leverage of the credit portfolio in line with previous quarter. In Q1-21 we completed a R$160mn warehousing facility with IDB Invest, a member of the IDB Group, thus continuing our strategy of diversifying funding sources.
