What changed
The quarter added completion of the BRL 10 billion capital increase, 102% year-over-year growth in private payroll loans, and rapid scaling of BIA, which handled more than 15 million interactions.

Guidance delta
Guidance sentiment was maintained. Management expects NIM to rebound in upcoming quarters while continuing loan growth and efficiency initiatives.
