Executive summary

Agibank Q2 FY26 — Operational Inflection Point Driven by Strong Origination and New Subscription Platform

Agibank achieved an operational inflection point in Q2 FY26, marked by record client growth and robust credit origination, particularly in private payroll. The launch of Agi+, a new subscription platform, is expected to drive recurring service revenues and deepen customer engagement. While profitability was temporarily impacted by upfront costs associated with rapid growth and a lower pretax base affecting the tax rate, management anticipates sequentially higher income starting in Q3 and a full recovery in Q4, driven by compounding revenues and operational leverage.

Q&A highlights

Questioned the sustainability of 48% QoQ private payroll growth given potential NPL risks and sought clarification on the 47% QoQ decline in pretax profit, asking if it's transitory.

Management expressed comfort with the private payroll growth pace (BRL 200M-BRL 250M/month origination) due to improved credit modeling and good first payment default rates (below teens). The pretax profit decline was explained as transitory, resulting from upfront costs of rapid operational growth (expected losses, customer acquisition, transactional costs) which precede compounding revenues.

“we are planting the seeds in the operational side for a much stronger second semester.”

Detailed narrative

Market Environment & Regulatory Stability

The market environment has become more supportive due to INSS regulatory changes since mid-April, strengthening governance and restoring confidence in the payroll lending market. Agibank adapted quickly to these structural changes and new regulatory requirements, positioning itself among the first companies to return to strong growth. This improved backdrop is expected to support sustainable development in the payroll lending market.

Operational Recovery & Growth Momentum

Agibank's origination engine is performing at full capacity again, originating over BRL 7 billion in gross credit this quarter and attracting more than 600,000 new customers, reaching a record 7.6 million active clients. The private payroll portfolio grew by almost 50% quarter-over-quarter, with new origination doubling, and secured personal loan originations increased by over 80%, demonstrating broad-based growth recovery.

Agi+ Subscription Platform Launch

Agi+ was launched as a new low-cost, high-value subscription service available in three tiers (BRL 39.9 to BRL 59.9). The program bundles medical, residential, and dental assistance with mobile phone bonuses and monthly credits for daily expenses (BRL 100 to BRL 150). This initiative aims to expand customer relationships beyond financial services, increase customer lifetime value, and drive recurring predictable service revenue.

Agi+ Early Success & Unit Economics

In just 45 days since launch, Agi+ achieved over 250,000 active subscriptions, with 67% of new credit originations including an Agi+ cross-sell. The estimated annual ARPAC is approximately BRL 600 per customer against servicing costs of around BRL 118, resulting in an expected contribution margin of approximately 80%. Management targets reaching 1 million subscribers by the end of the year, expecting a significant contribution to fee revenues from Q3 onwards.

Profitability & Cost Dynamics

Q2 profitability was temporarily impacted by upfront costs associated with rapid growth, including expected losses provision on new vintages, customer acquisition costs, and costs to serve new clients. Management views the pretax profit decline as transitory, anticipating sequentially higher income starting in Q3 and a full recovery in Q4 as compounding revenues from these new relationships materialize and operational leverage improves. The effective tax rate is also expected to normalize upwards as the pretax base recovers.

Funding & Capital Adequacy

Total deposits reached BRL 39.9 billion, an 18% increase year-over-year, with institutional counterparties representing 62% of total funding. Agibank recently received credit rating upgrades from Moody's and Fitch (from AA- to AA). The consolidated capital adequacy ratio at the holding level declined by 60 bps to 18.7% (Tier 1 at 17.6%) in Q2, reflecting IPO proceeds and investment in growth, but remains at comfortable levels to support continued expansion.
