Banco BTG Pactual S.A.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company financial statements of Banco BTG Pactual S.A. ("Institution"), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2022 and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year and six-month period then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Consolidated"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2022 and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and of Banco BTG Pactual S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2022, and the Institution's financial performance and cash flows for the year and six-month period then ended, as well as the consolidated financial performance and cash flows, for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Institution and its subsidiaries in accordance with the ethical requirements established in the Code of Professional Ethics and Professional Standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements

as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We planned and performed our audit for the year and six-month period then ended December 31, 2022 taking into consideration that the operations of the Institution and of the Institution and its subsidiaries had not changed significantly in relation to the previous year. In this respect, the Key Audit Matters, as well as our audit approach, have remained substantially in line with those in the prior year.

Why it is a Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Fair value measurement of complex or illiquids financial instruments

As disclosed in Notes 4(d), 4(e), 4(f), 8 and 9, the fair value measurement of complex or illiquids financial instruments is an area that includes subjectivity, as it depends on valuation techniques performed based on internal models and involving Management's assumptions for valuation of instruments and/or observable data.

We continue to consider this a focus area in our audit as the use of different valuation techniques and assumptions may produce significantly different fair value estimates and due to the materiality of the financial instruments in the context of the financial statements.

Measurement of the provision for expected losses associated with credit risk

As disclosed in Notes 4(j) and 10, the provision for expected losses associated with credit risk is estimated based on the analysis of the loan operations and specific risks presented in each portfolio, considering the customer's risk rating, depending on a periodic analysis of the quality of the customer and the sectors of activity, in accordance with the criteria established by CMN Resolution 2,682/99.

We continue to consider this area as a focus of our audit, as the application of different criteria and judgment in measuring the provision for expected

Our main audit procedures considered, among others, our understanding of the main processes involving the fair value measurement of financial instruments related to: (i) recording and confirmation of transaction data; (ii) criteria for fair value measurement; and (iii) reconciliation of accounting balances with analytical reports for balance sheet and income statement balances.

We also (i) tested the completeness and integrity of the data extracted from the underlying systems that serve as a basis for fair value measurement; and

  1. independently re-performed, on a sample basis, the calculations for measurement of financial instruments with the support of our specialists in the pricing of financial instruments in accordance with the requirements provided for by the Brazilian Central Bank's (BACEN) standards.

We believe that the criteria adopted by management in the fair value measurement of these financial instruments are consistent with the information analyzed in our audit.

Our procedures considered, among others, our understanding of the main processes related to:

  1. granting of credit; (ii) renegotiated operations;
  1. attribution of risk level; and (iv) reconciliation of account balances with auxiliary reports.

We also performed (i) analysis, on a sample basis, of the criteria described in the policy and their consistency with those used by management to determine the credit risk of the operations;

  1. recalculation of provisions based on the risk classification and delay in operations; and (iii) test of the completeness and integrity of the data

losses associated with credit risk could result in significant variations in the estimate of this provision.

extracted from the underlying systems that serve as a basis for calculating the provision.

We believe that the criteria adopted by management to measure and record the provision for expected losses associated with credit risk are consistent with the information analyzed in our audit.

Tax credits in consolidated subsidiary

As disclosed in Notes 4(r) and 18, Banco Pan S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Bank"), an indirect subsidiary of the Institution, whose total interest is approximately 73.9% and included in the consolidation process in the consolidated financial statements, has tax credits totaling R$ 3.2 billion, arising from temporary additions in the calculation bases of Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income and income tax and social contribution losses, recognized based on the projection of taxable income for the realization of these tax credits. This projection, prepared based on a study of the current and future scenario by the Bank's management, involves subjective judgments and assumptions.

We continue to consider this an area of audit focus, as the use of different assumptions in the projection of taxable income could significantly modify the terms and amounts expected for the realization of tax credits, with a consequent accounting impact, and could fail to meet the requirements of the National Monetary Council and Brazilian Central Bank regarding the initial recognition and maintenance of these assets in the financial statements.

Our key audit procedures considered the understanding of the calculation and recording processes and their consistency with tax and accounting standards related to tax credits, including specific requirements of the National Monetary Council and the Brazilian Central Bank, as well as an understanding of the more significant assumptions used by management to project future taxable profit for purposes of estimating the realization of tax credits.

We compared the main assumptions used by Banco Pan S.A. and its subsidiaries to project taxable profits with the budget projections approved by its Board of Directors and with the macroeconomic projections disclosed in the market and analyzed historical data to corroborate the consistency of these realization estimates.

We believe that the assumptions and criteria adopted by management are consistent in relation to the initial recognition, maintenance and realization of the tax credit and are aligned with information approved by those charged with governance.

Other matters

Statements of Value Added

The parent company and consolidated Statements of Value Added for the year then ended December 31, 2022, prepared under the responsibility of the Institution's management and presented as supplementary information for purposes of the Brazilian Central Bank, were submitted to audit procedures performed in

conjunction with the audit of the Institution's financial statements. For the purposes of forming our opinion, we evaluated whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". In our opinion, these Statements of Value Added have been properly prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in the Technical Pronouncement, and are consistent with the parent company and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company and consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these parent company and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Institution's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Institution or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Institution and its subsidiaries.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company and 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 Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company and 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 internal control of the Institution and its subsidiaries.
