Message from Management

We begin 2026 with another quarter of solid execution, reflecting the consistency of our operating model and our ability to combine growth and cash generation while continuing to invest in Afya's long-term strategic priorities. In the first quarter, our performance was once again supported by the strength of our Undergraduate segment, disciplined capital allocation and continued progress in expanding our physician-centric ecosystem.

During the quarter, we completed another successful intake cycle across our medical schools, maintaining 100% occupancy and achieving a 4.6% YoY increase in Medical School net average ticket, excluding acquisitions. This performance was supported by the strength of our academic offering, the effectiveness of our unified intake process, and the continued recognition of the Afya brand across Brazil. Revenue growth in the period also benefited from the continued maturation of medical seats and the contribution from recent seat authorization, and the acquisition of FUNIC. Our integrated model remains a key differentiator, helping us attract students and sustain efficient growth across our campuses

In Continuing Education and Medical Practice Solutions, we continued to advance the next phase of our strategy during the quarter. Both segments reflected higher investment levels, mainly in SG&A, product development and engagement initiatives. These investments are part of a broader strategic cycle aimed at strengthening Afya's ecosystem and unlocking scalable long-term monetization. As our audience and engagement expand, we also reinforce our data advantage, improve users' experience, and build stronger foundations for future B2P and B2B opportunities. At the same time, this more integrated ecosystem continues to support a structurally low customer acquisition cost in Undergraduate, reinforcing an important competitive advantage of our business model. In Continuing Education, this progress was reflected in the growth of Graduate Journey students and B2P revenue growth. In Medical Practice Solutions, we highlight the increase in Clinical Management active payers, together with B2B revenue growth

Our capital allocation remained disciplined throughout the quarter. We further reduced leverage, reinforcing the quality of our capital structure while advancing our strategic priorities and returning value to shareholders. Consistent with this approach, we continued to execute our share repurchase program authorized in 2025, which provides for the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 Class A common shares through December 31, 2026. Since the launch of the program, we have already repurchased over 50% of the total amount authorized. In addition, in March 2026, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of R$307.4 million, equivalent to 40% of Afya's 2025 consolidated net income, corresponding to a dividend amount of US$0.656489 per share. Taken together, these actions underscore our commitment to prudent capital allocation, shareholder remuneration, and long-term value creation.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing with consistency, strengthening our ecosystem, and reinforcing Afya's role as the partner of choice for physicians in Brazil. We believe that our disciplined investment cycle, combined with the strength of our balance sheet, positions us well to deepen engagement across the physician journey, support sustainable growth, and create long-term value for our shareholders.

1. Key Events in the Quarter

On February 6, 2026, MEC authorized an increase of 63 medical seats for ITPAC – Instituto Tocantinense Presidente Antonio Carlos Porto S.A. ("Afya Abaetetuba"), located in the city of Abaetetuba, in the state of Pará. With this authorization, Afya's Abaetetuba campus will offer a total of 113 medical seats.

As Afya Cametá—an approved but, non-operating medical school—and Afya Abaetetuba are located within the same health region, Afya Cametá will not become operational, thereby creating the capacity that enabled the approval of 63 additional medical seats at Afya Abaetetuba. With this addition, Afya now has a total of 3,768 approved medical seats across its portfolio.

On March 12, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved dividend distribution in the amount of R$307.4 million, representing 40% of the Company's consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and a dividend per share of R$3.446838, paid in U.S. dollars on April 6, 2026, to the shareholders on record as of the close of business on March 25, 2026. The payment was made at the exchange rate (PTAX) published by the Brazilian Central Bank on March 13, 2026.

2. Subsequent Events

On May 5, 2026, Moody's reaffirmed Afya's credit rating at AAA.br and maintained a stable outlook. The reaffirmation of Afya's AAA.br rating and stable outlook reflects revenue growth, a track record of above-industry-average margins, very strong credit metrics, exceptional cash generation, and robust liquidity. In addition, Afya's credit profile reflects a strong competitive position and a predictable financial policy, including proactive liability management and prudent capital allocation, despite its appetite for M&As.

3. 2026 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its 2026 guidance, which assumes the successful acceptance of new students for the first semester of 2026. The guidance for 2026 is defined in the following table:

Revenue

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was R$1,012.7 million, an increase of 8.2% over the same period in the prior year. Excluding acquisitions, Revenue for the three-month period increased by 7.7% YoY to R$1,008.4 million.

The quarter revenue increase was mainly due to higher tickets in medicine courses, the increase in non-medical undergraduate students, the acquisition of FUNIC, and the advancement of the Continuing Education Segment.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 increased by 4.0% to R$511.4 million, up from R$492.0 million in the same period of the prior year, with the Adjusted EBITDA Margin reducing by -200 basis points to 50.5%.

The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA Margin was primarily driven by higher costs and expenses in the Continuing Education and Medical Practice Solutions segments, mainly reflecting (a) lower gross margin compared with the first quarter of 2025; and (b) higher payroll, sales, and marketing expenses associated with the ongoing investment cycle in both segments.

All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including risks and uncertainties related to statements about our competition; our ability to attract, upsell and retain students; our capacity to increase tuition prices; our ability to anticipate and meet the evolving needs of students and teachers; our capacity to source and successfully integrate acquisitions; as well as general market, political, economic, and business conditions. Additionally, these statements include financial targets such as revenue, share count and IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures including gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss) per diluted share, and free cash flow. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them.

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances occurring after its publication, nor to incorporate new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make.

8. Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board—IASB, Afya presents Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Conversion Ratio which are non-GAAP financial measures, for the convenience of investors. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that intends to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be equally adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure.

Afya calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus/minus net financial result, plus income taxes expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus interest received on late payments of monthly tuition fees, plus share-based compensation, plus/minus income share associate, plus/minus non-recurring expenses/income. Operating Cash Conversion Ratio is calculated as the Cash flow from Operating Activities plus income taxes paid, minus/plus non-recurring expenses/income divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The non-GAAP supplemental financial measures are provided with the intend to help investors in assessing the overall performance of Afya's business regarding its core operations, cash generation and profitability. The non-GAAP financial measures described in this release are not substitutes for the IFRS measures. In addition, the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Conversion Ratio are not standardized financial measures and may differ from the calculations used by other companies, including competitors in the education services industry, and therefore, Afya's measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.
