In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### *Basis for Opinion* These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. {5}------------------------------------------------ #### *Supplemental Information* The accompanying Schedule I Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Schedule II Statement Regarding Determination of Reserve Requirements and Possession or Control Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission as of December 31, 2025 (collectively, the "supplemental information") has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation 1.10 under the Commodity Exchange Act. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. **New York, NY** February 27, 2026 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022. {6}------------------------------------------------ ### Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2025 *(In Thousands of US dollars)* | Cash and cash equivalents

Organization** BTG Pactual US Capital, LLC (the "Company") is incorporated in Delaware. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and commenced operations in the capacity of a broker-dealer on December 14, 2009. The Company is also a registered introducing broker with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and is a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA"). The life of the Company is perpetual. The Company has its main office in New York and acts as an agent for customers in the purchase and sale of U.S. and non-U.S. securities. The Company clears its agency U.S. securities through Pershing LLC and DriveWealth LLC and proprietary U.S. securities through Pershing LLC. With respect to non-U.S. securities, the Company primarily uses the services of an affiliated company, Banco BTG Pactual S.A., to clear transactions in Brazil or the Company's foreign affiliates to clear transactions in other Latin American countries. This is facilitated through a chaperoning agreement (Rule 15a-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Company also settles securities on a Delivery Versus Payment ("DVP")/Receipt Versus Payment ("RVP") basis in order to provide its customers with more efficient settlement. The settlement of non-U.S. trades on a DVP/RVP basis eliminates an additional step in the transaction process, since a U.S. clearing broker would utilize the services of a local broker-dealer to assist in settlement, which the Company is able to do itself through the facilities of its affiliates. In addition to its brokerage activities, the Company also provides capital market services, either in the capacity of an underwriter or a placement agent, as well as financial advisory services in mergers and acquisitions. The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to subparagraph (k)(2)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the portion of its business activities cleared on a fully disclosed basis. The Company does not hold customer funds or securities. The Company qualifies for an exemption from the Rule 15c3-3 reserve calculation in accordance with paragraph (k)(2)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by maintaining a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. For the remaining business activities, the Company relies on footnote 74 of the SEC release No 34-70073. {11}------------------------------------------------ # Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** #### **Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates** The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ### **Revenue from Contracts with Customers** Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. The following is a description of the Company's revenue recognition policies and balances as it relates to revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue from contracts with customers was \$86,434 for the year ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 3). The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices if multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs, and weather constrains on variable considerations should be applied due to uncertain future events. The following provides detailed information on the Company's material performance obligations and how revenue is recognized. ### *Commission income and Referral fees* The Company, acting as an agent, buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers, including funds managed by affiliates. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission or a referral fee. Clearance for U.S. securities is performed through Pershing LLC and DriveWealth LLC and for non-U.S. securities the Company uses certain of its affiliates. Fees in respect of these services are charged by Pershing LLC, DriveWealth LLC {12}------------------------------------------------ ### Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** or the Company's affiliates and passed on to the Company. Commissions and referral fees are recorded on a trade date basis gross of fees. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to or from the customer. The Company also enters into arrangements with investment managers, including investment managers that are affiliates, to distribute shares of investment funds to investors and may receive fees paid over time based on the investor's continued investment in the Fund. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. The distribution fees are generally variable amounts and are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. Fees paid over time generally are variable because the amount paid is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods. #### *Placement fees* Placement fees consist of fees earned for the placement of a customer's debt or equity securities. The revenue is generally earned based on a percentage of the fixed number of shares or principal placed. On trade date, once the number of shares or notes is determined and the performance obligation is fulfilled, the fees are recognized. The Company incurs certain out-of-pocket expenses in performing these services. These costs are recognized in Other expenses in the Statement of Operations at the time the related revenues are recorded. ### *Merger and acquisition advisory fees* Financial advisory services consist of fees earned for assisting customers with transactions related to mergers and acquisitions and financial restructurings. Revenue varies depending on the size and number of services performed for each contract and is generally contingent on successful execution of the transaction. Revenue is typically recognized once the transaction is completed and performance obligation is fulfilled. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### *Income from research services* The Company provides research services for certain customers. Research services are billed to the customer at the time the research is completed, the information is delivered to the customer, and the customer accepts receipt of the information. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing research services is satisfied at the point in time the information is delivered by the Company to the customer and accepted by the customer. Research fees are defined by the customer based upon their appreciation of the service provided and revenue is recognized when the transaction price is agreed upon with the customer as this is when the amount is determinable. #### *Client asset-based fees* The Company provides distribution assistance service for money market funds and FDIC-insured bank deposit products through arrangement with its clearing brokers. Cash management fees are based on the level of assets in these products. Other asset-based fees are generally based on asset values held in customer accounts. The services performed for these asset-based fee contracts are a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. As a result, the contracts have one performance obligation, and revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit from the services performed by the Company. For both service fees and other asset-based fees, revenue is collected monthly or quarterly based on the agreements and the agreements generally do not have a term. #### **Principal transactions** Principal transactions revenue is derived from proprietary transactions. Revenue and related expenses are recognized on a trade date basis. Positions held as part of principal transactions are marked to market daily. #### **Dividends and interest income** Dividend income includes dividends received on equity securities. Interest income primarily includes interest on deposits with banks, interest on deposits with clearing brokers, interest on money market fund investments, coupon interest on a U.S. treasury security, and interest accrued on loans to financial advisors. {14}------------------------------------------------ # Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### **Segment information** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services (see note 1). The Company has identified its Co-CEOs as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who use net income to evaluate the results of the business to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see note 4), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The CODM is provided condensed financial information that is derived from the primary financial statements on page 4. The CODM is also provided net income before bonuses and taxes. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. A significant portion of the Company's total revenues relates to transactions with affiliates (see note 9). #### **Cash and Cash Equivalents** The Company defines cash as demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. The amounts approximates fair value. Financial instruments, which are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less at date of acquisition, are considered cash equivalents. Cash on deposit with financial institutions may, at times, exceed federal insurance limits. As of December 31, 2025 cash totaling \$28,176 was invested in an interest-bearing account held at an affiliate of the Company and \$90,491 was invested in money market funds. The fair value of cash invested in money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities and thus classified as Level 1 within U.S. GAAP's fair value hierarchy. ### **Cash Segregated Under Federal and Other Regulations** Cash segregated under federal and other regulations is segregated for the protection of customers under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company maintains a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. {15}------------------------------------------------ ### Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* #### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### **Securities Owned, at Fair Value** The fair values of securities owned, is generally based on listed market prices. If listed market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including broker or dealer price quotations and theoretical pricing models. ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, as defined. All of the Company's financial assets are either valued at market or estimated fair value, or because of their short-term nature, approximate fair value. The Company's financial instruments consist substantially of Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, which are all classified as Level 1 and Level 2 within U.S. GAAP's fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2025, securities owned are comprised of exchange-traded equities, and a U.S. Treasury security. The fair value of the exchange-traded equities and the U.S. Treasury security are determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Assets / Liabilities
at Fair Value | |---------------|---------|---------|---------------------------------------| | Assets | | | | | Equities | \$3,389 | \$- | \$3,389 | | U.S. Treasury | \$- | \$5,012 | \$5,012 | | Total Assets | \$3,389 | \$5,012 | \$8,401 | During the year, there were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels. #### **Foreign Currencies** The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the applicable year end exchange rate. All gains and losses are recorded in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, net foreign exchange loss of \$170 is recorded in Other expense. {16}------------------------------------------------ ### Notes to Financial Statements (continued) ### *(In Thousands of US dollars)* #### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** As of December 31, 2025, the Company's exposure to foreign currencies (primarily Brazilian Real, Euro and Argentine Pesos) was as follows: | Assets: | | |------------------------------------------------------|---------| | Due from affiliates, net | \$3,579 | | Cash and cash equivalents | 532 | | Securities owned, at fair value | 129 | | Due from brokers, clearing organizations and others | 2 | | Liabilities: | | | Due to affiliates, net | \$2,512 | | Due to
brokers, clearing organizations and others | 384 | #### **Due from/to Brokers, Clearing Organizations and Others** Due from brokers, clearing organizations and others include amounts receivable for fails to deliver, amounts receivable from clearing brokers relating to open transactions, good faith and margin deposits, and commissions receivable from broker-dealers. The balance also includes receivables from customers as it relates to customer fails to deliver, and commissions earned. Due to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and others include amounts payable for fails to receive and amounts payable to clearing brokers relating to open transactions. The amounts receivable and payable from clearing organizations relating to open transactions are reported on a net basis. The balance also includes payables to customers as it relates to customer fails to receive. As of December 31, 2025, amounts receivable and payable to brokers, clearing organizations and others include: | | Receivables
Payables | | |----------------------------------------|-------------------------|--------------| | | | | | Securities failed to deliver / receive | \$
3,274 | \$
10,907 | | Customer failed to deliver / receive | 10,708 | 3,075 | | Clearing brokers | 30,535 | 3,896 | | Total | \$44,517 | \$17,878 | {17}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### **Loans to financial advisors, net** The company offers forgivable loans to financial advisors for recruitment purposes. Outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors are presented in the Statement of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for credit losses (see note 10). The decision to extend credit to a financial advisor is generally based on their ability to generate future revenues. The forgivable loans are provided to employees and are forgiven over a stated service period and if certain performance targets are met. If at any point before the end of the stated service period the employee ceases to provide services to the Company, the loan becomes due and payable and generally does not continue to accrue interest. The Company amortizes the loans into compensation expense over the service period, which the Company has concluded is a systematic and rational method. If an employee ceases to provide services to the Company, the Company stops amortizing the loan and seeks repayment directly from the former employee. #### **Allowance for Credit Losses** ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), impacts the impairment model for certain financial instruments by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under ASC 326, the Company could determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g. based on the credit quality of the client). For financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g. cash and cash equivalents, cash segregated under federal and other regulations, receivables from broker-dealers, clearing organizations and others, loans to financial advisors and other assets), the Company has evaluated the expected credit loss based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets, credit quality of the counterparty and immaterial historic and expected losses. The Company concluded that there are de minimis expected credit losses and did not record a reserve for the cash and cash equivalents, cash segregated under federal and other regulations or receivables from broker-dealer, clearing organizations and others and other receivables. The Company continually monitors these estimates over the life of the asset. {18}------------------------------------------------ # Notes to Financial Statements (continued) *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** The allowance for credit losses on loans to financial advisors is determined by estimating the amount and timing of expected future payments and takes into account the affiliation status of the financial advisor (i.e., whether the advisor is actively affiliated with the Company or has terminated affiliation), the borrower's ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower's ability to repay the debt. Credit losses are charged-off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of the financial asset is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance once received. #### **Income Taxes** The Company is a single member LLC, disregarded as a separate entity for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company is not required to present its allocated portion of the consolidated amounts for current and deferred tax expenses, applicable to its tax attributes, included in the consolidated tax returns of BTG Pactual NY Corporation (the "Parent"), however as permitted by ASC 740-10-50-17A the Company has elected to include such allocations in its separately issued financial statements. As such, the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit presented in these financial statements represents an allocation from Parent, and the corresponding income tax payable (or receivable) is presented as a due to (or from) affiliates. (see Note 5). Under the allocation method applied by the Company, net operating losses (or other current or deferred tax attributes) are characterized as realized (or realizable) by the disregarded entity when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the Parent, even if the Company would not otherwise have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis. In connection with the commissions earned on Brazilian stock trades and underwriting activities, the Company is subject to Brazilian withholding tax. As the withholding is considered a flat tax on such income, it represents a foreign tax expense that is recognized when the corresponding income is earned and is presented as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. Income taxes are accounted for under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. {19}------------------------------------------------ ### Notes to Financial Statements (continued) ### *(In Thousands of US dollars)* ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be recognized, a valuation allowance would be established to offset their benefit. All available evidence, both positive and negative, shall be considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. ASC 740 also provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities** The highly regulated nature of the Company's business means that from time to time it is subject to regulatory inquiries and investigations. The Company is currently the subject of regulatory reviews and investigations by its regulators. The Company has also been named as a defendant in certain claims and/or lawsuits, including arbitrations, arising primarily from its securities business. It is the Company's practice to cooperate and comply with the requests for information and documents. In some instances, these matters may result in a disciplinary, civil or administrative actions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself, but currently it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters or to provide an estimate of any potential financial impact. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. As of December 31,2025, the Company has no outstanding material commitments or contingent liabilities requiring accrual or disclosure in the financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its clearing brokers against specified potential losses in connection with its acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under this indemnification cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes it is unlikely it will have to make payments under these arrangements and, as such, has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for this indemnification. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into underwriting commitments. There were no transactions relating to such underwriting commitments that were open at December 31, 2025. #### **11.
