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.
1. Key Events in the Quarter
On May 7, 2025, Afya Participações announced the closing of its acquisition of 100% of the total share capital of Faculdade Masterclass Ltda. ("FUNIC"), located in Contagem, a city in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, the capital of the State of Minas Gerais.
The acquisition contributes 60 medical school seats to Afya. FUNIC is pre-operational, with leased real estate prepared for a medical school operation, to be started in the second semester of 2025.
The aggregate purchase price is R$ 100 million, net of the estimated Net Debt deducted from the down payment. The price and payment conditions were: (i) R$ 60 million, net of the estimated Net Debt, paid in cash on May 07, 2025; and (ii) R$ 40 million to be paid in three annual installments adjusted by CDI.
Additionally, the acquisition includes a contingent consideration for up to 60 additional medical school seats. If approved by MEC within 36 months from the closing date, it will result in an additional payment of R$1,000 per approved seat.
Afya expects an EV/EBITDA of 3.3x at full maturity and post synergies in 2030 with expected Revenues of R$ 52.4 million, of which 100% will come from Medicine.
2. Subsequent Event
On August 13, 2025, the Company's board of directors approved a new share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, Afya may repurchase up to 4,000,000 of its outstanding Class A common shares, in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, beginning from August 15, 2025 until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or December 31, 2026, depending upon market conditions.
The share purchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions and are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, cash requirements for other purposes, regulatory, and other relevant factors. The share repurchase program will take place in accordance with the conditions established by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2025. Afya intends to repurchase the shares for use in its stock option program, consideration in futures business combinations transactions and general corporate purposes.

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.

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. In addition, the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Operating Cash Conversion Ratio, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS 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.
