<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/styles/gnw_nitf.css"></link>MIAMI, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inter&amp;Co Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INTR">INTR</a>, B3: INBR32)), the leading super app providing financial and digital commerce services to over 45 million customers, today reported its results for the second quarter of 2026. 2Q26 Highlights: Inter delivered another quarter of record results, demonstrating the compounding strength of its complete ecosystem and Inter by Design model. This quarter marked the realization of the "Rule of 50", first introduced at Inter’s 2026 Owners’ Day in May, outlining the goal of achieving a combination of net revenue growth and Return on Equity exceeding 50%, while signaling scale and profitability are working in tandem. <ul type="disc"><li>Rule of 50 is Already a Reality: With ROE reaching 16.3% and net revenue growing 32% year-over-year, Inter has achieved the Rule of 50, validating that disciplined, technology-driven growth can be both high and profitable. Net income for the quarter was US$81 million (R$421M), a 34% increase quarter-over-quarter.</li><li>Consistent and Robust Revenue Growth: Total net revenue reached US$509.5 million (R$2.6B), growing approximately 32% year-over-year, maintaining Inter’s ~30% YoY growth trajectory, driven by strong Net Interest Income, improved underwriting, and an optimized portfolio mix. Additionally, Inter’s strategy around reshaping credit card access and its continued expansion of private payroll loans added to this growth.</li><li>Efficiency Hits a Record Low: The efficiency ratio reached a new record low of 42%, as expenses grew a controlled 19% YoY — significantly outpaced by the 32% increase in total net revenue — a clear demonstration of the scalability embedded in Inter’s model.</li><li>Asset Quality Behaving as Expected: Non-Performing Loan (NPL) trends remain manageable and traceable, with increases concentrated in Private Payroll and in Credit Cards, reflecting the broader macroeconomic environment, and in line with an expansion in Inter’s product portfolio. Inter’s robust underwriting standards and advanced collections capabilities continue to anchor asset quality.</li></ul> João Vitor Menin, Global CEO of Inter&amp;Co, commented: &#34;Our 2Q26 results showcase our ability to grow sustainably while continuing to gain market share across our verticals. Inter’s consistent momentum highlights the strength of our model and our unwavering focus on creating value for clients and investors." He added: &#34;Rule of 50 is already a reality, with revenue growth reaching 32% and an ROE surpassing 16%. This reflects our ability to achieve scalable and profitable growth, powered by a model that is becoming capital neutral — meaning our growth will increasingly be funded by our profitability.&#34; He concluded: &#34;As we look ahead, we remain committed to growth, innovation, and delivering sustainable profitability. Our unique ability to gain market share and fund growth organically through our profitability sets Inter apart. We will continue to lead and shape the future of financial services, creating meaningful impact and lasting value.&#34; Alexandre Riccio, Brazil CEO of Inter&amp;Co, noted: &#34;Our credit portfolio continues to expand at a strong 29% year-over-year pace, with loans per active client growing 11% — a reflection of how deeply embedded Inter has become in our clients&#39; financial lives. Private payroll loans remain a standout product, with a long runway of growth still ahead of us.&#34; Riccio continued: &#34;Deeper client engagement is translating directly into higher ARPAC, as we deliver increasingly tailored financial solutions and convert strong relationships into sustainable value. This engagement is also demonstrated by our 9% market share of all Pix transactions in Brazil — a level of daily trust that few platforms can claim.&#34; Conference Call Inter&amp;Co will discuss its 2Q26 financial results on August 6th, 2026, at 08:30 a.m. ET (09:30 a.m. BRT).
