Q & A Highlights
Q: What should we expect from Porto Seguro's growth in 2026? Can it sustain double-digit growth in income?
A: Paulo Kakinoff, CEO, explained that Porto Seguro's growth is sustained by disciplined pricing and technology, extracting historical levels of ROAE. The company aims to maintain growth around one digit, leveraging its strong brand, client base, and product strength. Growth will also come from segments where Porto Seguro has a smaller market share, such as healthcare and new products, which are being pushed by their extensive broker network.
Q: Can you explain the NPL growth in Porto Bank and the impact of the IOF tax on pensions?
A: Paulo Kakinoff, CEO, stated that the NPL growth is primarily due to stop accrual, which affected the first quarter. Without this effect, the NPL would be around 6-6.3%. The IOF tax on pensions did not significantly impact Porto Bank, as processes were adjusted accordingly.
Q: What is driving the strength of NII and profitability in Porto Bank?
A: Paulo Kakinoff, CEO, highlighted efforts in product mix focusing on profitability, particularly in loans for known clients within their ecosystem. Car equity loans have been a significant growth area, and adjustments in credit card pricing have also contributed to profitability.
Q: How will the deceleration in vehicle credit affect Porto Seguro's premiums and growth in 2026?
A: Paulo Kakinoff, CEO, noted that historically, issues with fleet age have not significantly impacted Porto Seguro. The company expects to maintain its current position without a relevant impact on premiums. Growth in auto consortiums is expected to offset any potential declines in direct financing.
Q: Can you provide insights into the integration of Azul Seguros and its impact on efficiency?
A: Paulo Kakinoff, CEO, mentioned that the integration will conclude in August, leading to efficiency gains through system unification. This will result in reduced administrative expenses and improved NPS scores. Celso Damadi, EVP, added that the integration allows for better resource allocation and tax benefits.
