Independent Statutory Auditor’s Report
To the General Shareholders’ Meeting and the Supervisory Board of XTB S.A.
Report on the audit of consolidated financial statements
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying annual consolidated financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of XTB S.A. (the “Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) as at 31 December 2024 and the Group’s consolidated financial performance and the consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the adopted accounting policies;
comply in terms of form and content with the laws applicable to the Group and the Parent Company’s Articles of Association
.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee of the Parent Company issued on the date of this report.
What we have audited
We have audited the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group XTB S.A. which comprise:
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024;
and the following prepared for the financial year then ended:
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income;
the consolidated statement of changes in equity;
the consolidated cash flow statement, and
the notes to consolidated financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the National Standards on Auditing as adopted by the resolutions of the National Board of Statutory Auditors and the resolution of the Council of the Polish Agency for Audit Oversight (“NSA”) and pursuant to the Act of 11 May 2017 on Statutory Auditors, Audit Firms and Public Oversight (the “Act on Statutory Auditors”) and the Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of 16 April 2014 on specific requirements regarding the statutory audit of public interest entities (the “EU Regulation”). Our responsibilities under NSA are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with “the Handbook of the International code of ethics for professional accountants (including International independence standards) (Code of ethics) as adopted by resolution of the National Board of Statutory Auditors and other ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Poland. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of ethics. During the audit, the key statutory auditor and the audit firm remained independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements set out in the Act on Statutory Auditors and in the EU Regulation.
Our audit approach
Overview
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where the Parent Company’s Management Board made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,
The overall materiality threshold adopted for our audit was set at PLN 52.545 thousand, which represents ca. 5% of the profit before tax.
All material items included in the consolidated financial statements were subject to our audit procedures.

individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole, as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Overall Group materiality
PLN 52.545 thousand
How we determined it
ca. 5% of profit before tax
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied
We chose profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.
We chose ca. 5% which is consistent with quantitative materiality thresholds used for profit-oriented companies in this sector.
We agreed with the Audit Committee of the Parent Company that we would report to them misstatements of the consolidated financial statements identified during our audit above PLN 2.620 thousand, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
How we tailored our Group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
We have audited the separate financial information of the Parent Company and the financial information of subsidiaries whose financial situation and financial results, in our opinion, have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The scope of our audit was appropriately adjusted to cover all material items included in the consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. They include the most significant identified risks of material misstatements, including the identified risks of material misstatement resulting from fraud. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Recognition of the results from financial operations and the related valuation of financial assets and liabilities.
The result from operations on financial instruments for the year ended 31 December 2024 amounted to PLN 1,800,575 thousand and was the most significant item in the Group's consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities held for trading as at 31 December 2024 amounted to PLN 1,123,923 thousand and PLN 208,193 thousand, respectively.
The result from operations on financial instruments consisted of realized and unrealized profits and losses related to trading in derivative financial instruments.
The process of concluding transactions with clients and valuing derivative financial instruments is mass and takes into account large amounts of market data necessary for valuation.
Given the above, this area requires significant work and expert knowledge in the field of financial instruments and the use of IT systems, which is why we considered it a key audit matter.
Information on accounting policies and quantitative disclosures regarding the result on operations on financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities held for trading are described in notes 4.4, 4.11, 5.1, 15 and 21 of the consolidated financial statements, respectively.
As part of the audit procedures, we updated our understanding of the Group’s policies and procedures relating to entering into transactions and valuing financial instruments and recognizing the result.
We reviewed the design of the controls implemented by the Group in this area, including the process of entering into transactions with clients and the valuation process.
In relation to the information systems through which transactions are executed and financial instruments are valued, we obtained an understanding of the processes and internal control mechanisms, including the areas of change management and access control to the systems that process clients’ transaction data.
On selected populations of transactions, we independently valued financial instruments and verified the accuracy of recognition the amounts in the accounting records at the balance sheet date.
Furthermore, with regard to the result on financial instruments, we performed detailed tests, including independent recalculation of the result on a sample, as well as reconciliation of selected transactions to source documentation and tests of system reports on transactions on financial instruments. In addition, we conducted an analysis of customer complaints and claims.
We assessed the adequacy and completeness of disclosures regarding the result on operations on financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities held for trading in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the Group.
Responsibility of the Management and Supervisory Board of the Parent Company for the consolidated financial statements
The Management Board of the Parent Company is responsible for the preparation, of the annual consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position and results of operations, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, the adopted accounting policies, the applicable laws and the Parent Company’s Articles of Association, and for such internal control as the Parent Company’s Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Parent Company’s Management Board is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
5
Image should be here
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Parent Company’s Management Board either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Parent Company’s Management Board and members of the Supervisory Board are obliged to ensure that the consolidated financial statements comply with the requirements specified in the Accounting Act of 29 September 1994 (“the Accounting Act”). Members of the Supervisory Board are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the NSA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
The scope of the audit does not include an assurance on the Group’s future profitability nor the efficiency and effectiveness of conducting its affairs by the Parent Company’s Management Board, now or in future.
As part of an audit in accordance with NSA, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control;
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent Company’s Management Board;
conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent Company’s Management Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purpose of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with Audit Committee of the Parent Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee of the Parent Company with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the Audit Committee of the Parent Company, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Report on the compliance of the marking up of consolidated financial statements with the requirements of the European Single Electronic Format (“ESEF”)
In connection with the audit of consolidated financial statements we have been engaged by the Parent Company’s Management Board as part of our audit engagement letter to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement to express an opinion whether the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 prepared in the single electronic format contained in the file named XBRL XTB-2024-12-31-0-pl.zip (the “consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format”) was marked up in accordance with the requirements in the article 4 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (the “ESEF Regulation”).
Description of a subject matter and applicable criteria
The consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format were prepared by the Parent Company’s Management Board to comply with the technical requirements regarding the specification of a single electronic reporting format and marking up, which are set out in the ESEF Regulation.
The subject matter of our assurance engagement is the compliance of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation and the requirements of this regulation, in our view, constitute appropriate criteria to form an opinion.
Responsibility of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Parent Company
The Parent Company’s Management Board is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format in accordance with the technical requirements regarding the specification of a single electronic reporting format which are set out in the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using taxonomy specified in the ESEF Regulation. The responsibility of the Management Board of the Parent Company also includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format which are free from material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation and their marking-up in compliance with these requirements .
Members of the Parent Company’s Supervisory Board are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process, which also includes the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the format that is compliant with legal requirements.
Our responsibility
Our objective was to express an opinion, based on the conducted reasonable assurance engagement, whether the consolidated financial statements prepared in the ESEF format were marked up, in all material respects, with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with the National Standard on Assurance Engagements other than Audit and Review 3001PL – “Audit of financial statements prepared in the single electronic reporting format” (“KSUA 3001PL”) and where relevant with the National Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (R) in the wording of the International Standard on Assurance Services 3000 (Revised) - ‘Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information’ (“KSUA 3000(R)”).
Image should be here
These standards require that we plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format were marked up, in all material respects, in compliance with the specified criteria.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the engagement performed in accordance with KSUA 3001PL and, where relevant, in accordance with KSUA 3000 (R) will always detect the material misstatement (significant non-compliance with the requirements).
The selection of the procedures depends on the auditor's judgement, including the auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. In performing the assessments of this risk, the auditor shall consider the internal control related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format in order to plan appropriate procedures to provide the auditor with sufficient evidence appropriate to the circumstances. The assessment of the functioning of the internal control system was not carried out in order to express an opinion on the effectiveness of its operation.
Quality management and ethical requirements
We apply the National Standard on Quality Control 1 in the wording of the International Standard on Quality Management (PL) 1 – “Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements” as issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and adopted by the resolution of the Council of the Polish Agency for Audit Oversight (“NSQC 1”). In accordance with the requirements of NSQC 1, we operate a system of quality management including documented policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
When performing the engagement, we have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements in the Code of ethics. The Code of ethics is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. We also complied with other independence and ethical requirements that apply to this assurance engagement in Poland.
Summary of the work performed
Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format were marked-up, in all material respects, in compliance with the applicable requirements. Our procedures included in particular:
obtaining an understanding of the process of preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format, including the process of selection and application by the Group of the XBRL tags and ensuring the compliance with the ESEF Regulation, including understanding the mechanism of the internal control system related to this process;
reconciliation, on a selected sample, of the marked-up information contained in the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format to the audited consolidated financial statements;
evaluating of compliance with the technical standards regarding the specification of a single electronic reporting format, including the use of XHTML, using a specialised IT tool;
evaluating the completeness of marking up the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format using the iXBRL tags;
evaluating the appropriateness of the use of XBRL tags selected from the taxonomy defined in the ESEF Regulation and whether the extension markups were used appropriately where no suitable element in taxonomy defined in the ESEF Regulation has been identified;
Image should be here
evaluating the appropriateness of anchoring of the extension elements to the ESEF taxonomy from the ESEF regulation.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, based on the procedures performed, the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format were marked-up, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
Information on compliance with prudential regulations
The Management Board of the Parent Company is responsible for complying with the applicable prudential regulations set out in separate legislation, and in particular, for the correct determination of the capital ratios.
The capital ratios as at 31 December 2024 have been presented in Note 35 of the consolidated financial statements.
We are obliged to give information in our report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements as to whether the Group has complied with the applicable prudential regulations set out in separate legislation, and in particular, whether the Group has correctly determined its capital ratios. For the purposes of the said information, the following legal acts are understood as separate legislation: Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, as amended (“CRR”), the Act of 5 August 2015 on macro-prudential supervision over the financial system and on crisis management in the financial system (“the Act on macro-prudential supervision”), Regulation of the Minister of Development and Finance of 25 April 2017 on the internal capital, risk management system, supervisory evaluation program and supervisory review and evaluation process, and remuneration policy in a brokerage house; Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 1 July 2016 on the types of brokerage house exposures excluded from large exposure limits, and Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 27 June 2016 on the treatment by brokerage houses of large blocks of shares of non-financial sector entities referred to in Article 89(3) of Regulation 575/2013.
It is not the purpose of an audit of the consolidated financial statements to present an opinion on compliance with the applicable prudential regulations specified in the separate legislation specified above, and in particular, on the correct determination of the capital ratios, and therefore, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on the work performed by us, we inform you that we have not identified:
any cases of non-compliance by the Group with the applicable prudential regulations set out in the separate legislation referred to above, in the period from 1 January to 31 December 2024;
any irregularities in the determination by the Group of the capital ratios as at 31 December 2024 in accordance with separate legislation referred to above,
which would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
