Message from Management

We are pleased to report that Afya continues to deliver strong operational and financial results. This quarter's performance highlights the high predictability of our business model and the successful execution of our strategy, which consistently combines robust growth, increased profitability, and solid cash generation, Afya's three strategic pillars for long-term value creation. This quarter was marked by significant revenue growth and gross margin expansion in both our Undergraduate and Continuing Education segments, reflecting the steady expansion of our business and our ongoing commitment to operational excellence. We are also pleased to reaffirm that Afya remains on track to meet our full-year 2025 guidance, supported by disciplined execution and strong business fundamentals.

Once again, we delivered a strong performance, closing the first half of 2025 with a notable increase in Adjusted EBITDA Margin, reaching 48.1%. This margin expansion was primarily driven by the solid results of our Undergraduate segment, supported by cost initiatives and our shared services center, helping to boost efficiency, and unlock operational synergies across selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Another important development in the higher education landscape is the recent rollout of ENAMED, Brazil's National Medical Education Performance Exam. This standardized test for final-year medical students, now officially integrated into the regulatory framework, represents a pivotal step in quality assurance and benchmarking across medical schools nationwide. Afya's educational ecosystem is able to support students more effectively in their preparation for ENAMED, while reinforcing its leadership in delivering outcomes-based, high-impact learning across all stages of the medical journey.

With the closing of the acquisition of Funic, a campus that will begin its operation in the second half of 2025, we are pleased to reinforce our solid market position by expanding our undergraduate footprint into the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais. This acquisition adds 60 new medical seats, bringing Afya's total number of approved medical seats to 3,653 as of today.

In 2Q25, we continued to recognize the impacts of the global minimum tax related to the additional CSLL established by Law No. 15,079/2024. Although the cash disbursement is only expected in July 2026, we have started provisioning this obligation throughout 2025. In response, Afya filed a writ of mandamus with the Brazilian Federal Court seeking to suspend the enforceability of this new charge. In parallel, Afya is demonstrating to the Lower House and the Executive representatives the impacts of this additional taxation on the Prouni. We remain committed to defending the Company's legal and financial interests while maintaining the highest standards of compliance, transparency, and fiscal discipline.

In line with our commitment to delivering long-term value to shareholders and reinforcing our confidence in Afya's strategic direction, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program. This initiative authorizes the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 Class A shares. The program is intended to support our stock option plan, future business combinations, and general corporate purposes. We believe this initiative reflects the strength of our balance sheet, the resilience of our business model, and our disciplined capital allocation strategy.

As we look to the future, Afya remains steadfast in its purpose: to empower healthcare professionals through an integrated ecosystem that spans education, clinical practice, and continuous development. Our commitment to innovation and excellence drives us to keep enhancing the medical journey at every stage. We are very proud of our business and our achievements so far, and we are excited about our future plans.

The calculation of Adjusted Net Income is the Net Income plus amortization of customer relationships and trademark, plus share-based compensation, plus/minus non-recurring expenses/income. The calculation of Adjusted EPS is the Adjusted Net Income minus the non-controlling interests divided by the Weighted average number of outstanding shares.

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.
