Message from Management

This quarter demonstrates once again Afya’s ability to combine transformation with financial discipline. We advanced in initiatives that strengthen our ecosystem, and accelerate innovation, while maintaining a prudent approach to capital allocation. These achievements reinforce our confidence in the strategy and our capacity to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for all stakeholders. We saw steady advances across our three segments, reflecting our commitment to integrate education and medical practice solutions throughout the medical journey.

In Undergraduate, we concluded another intake cycle, ensuring full occupancy across all our medical schools, which reinforces Afya’s differentials and the ability to attract and retain top candidates nationwide. This approach ensures consistency in admissions, strengthens our brand positioning, and optimizes operational efficiency.

In Continuing Education, we sustained impressive growth in B2B Revenue, while strengthening the graduate journey. In Medical Practice Solutions we achieved a notable increase in active payers within Clinical Management, reinforcing the value of our solutions in supporting physicians' daily practice. Our ecosystem continues to enhance learning outcomes and employability, strengthening our reputation within the medical community.

We advanced AI‑enabled enhancements to Afya Whitebook, iClinic and ReceitaPro further supporting clinical productivity and evidence‑based decision‑making at the point of care. In parallel, we launched Instituto Afya, aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda to address chronic disease challenges. Together, these initiatives strengthen our ecosystem and support long‑term value creation.

During October, we took coordinated actions to strengthen our capital structure. We issued commercial notes totaling R$1.5 billion in two series, maturing in 2028 and 2030, with interest rates of CDI+0.70% and CDI+0.85% per year, respectively. Using the proceeds, we repurchased all 150,000 Series A perpetual convertible preferred shares from SoftBank for R$831.6 million and fully repaid R$500 million related to Afya Participações first debenture issuance. These actions extend debt duration, and reinforce our disciplined approach to capital management.

Looking ahead, we remain confident in our ability to keep delivering sustainable growth. Our integrated ecosystem, operational excellence and innovation agenda position Afya to execute with quality and consistency. We reaffirm our 2025 guidance and are proud of the progress achieved so far - energized by the opportunities ahead as we continue to transform the medical journey and physician career success in Brazil.

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, Operating Cash Conversion Ratio, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, 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 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. The non-GAAP financial measures described in this release are not substitutes for the IFRS measures.
