Afya Limited delivered solid results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, with revenue of R$1,012,712 thousand, up from R$936,360 thousand a year earlier. Growth was driven mainly by higher tuition fees across its undergraduate and continuing education operations.

PROUNI financial
"The Company adhered to PROUNI, established by Law 11,096/2005, which is a federal program that exempts companies of paying income taxes"
FIES financial
"Related to trade receivables from the FIES program, created by the Brazilian federal government to offer financing to low-income students"
Pillar Two financial
"including the effects of the OECD’s Pillar Two global minimum tax"
Pillar Two is an international tax framework that sets a global minimum tax rate for large multinational companies and requires extra payments when profits booked in low-tax locations fall below that floor. For investors, it matters because it raises the likely tax bill, reduces after-tax earnings and cash available for dividends or reinvestment, and can change company valuations—think of it as a tax “price floor” that limits how much a firm can lower its effective tax rate.
Restricted Stock Units (RSU) financial
"the Company approved the Restricted Stock Units (RSU) program for its employees"
share repurchase program financial
"the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.

1.Corporate information

 

Afya Limited (“Afya”), collectively with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”, is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on March 22, 2019. Afya completed its initial public offering (IPO) on July 19, 2019, and its shares are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AFYA”. The Company’s ultimate parent company is Bertelsmann SE& Co. KGaA (“Bertelsmann”).

 

The Company is formed by a network of higher education and post-graduate institutions, focused on medical schools, under the regulations of the Ministry of Education (“MEC”). The Company also provides other educational services that comprise the development and sale of electronically distributed educational courses on medicine science and soft skills educational content. The Company also offers solutions to empower the physicians in their daily routine including supporting clinic decisions through mobile app subscription, delivering practice management tools through a SaaS (Software as a Service) model and supporting the patient-physician relationship.

 

Acquisition in 2025

 

On May 7, 2025, Afya Participações S.A. (“Afya Brazil”) acquired 100% of the total share capital of Faculdade Masterclass Ltda. (“FUNIC”), located in the city of Contagem, a city in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, the capital of the State of Minas Gerais. The acquisition contributed 60 medical school seats to Afya. FUNIC started its operations in the second semester of 2025.

 

The aggregate purchase price was R$100,000. The price and payment conditions were: (i) R$60,000, net of the estimated Net Debt, paid in cash on May 7, 2025 and presented in “Acquisition of assets and subsidiaries, net of cash acquired” in the consolidated statements of cash flows; and (ii) R$40,000 payable in three equal annual installments adjusted by 100% of the Brazilian interbank interest rate (“CDI”). FUNIC’s installments are not contingent consideration and therefore are not included in the fair value disclosure. The time value on the deferred installments were recognized as finance expense using the effective interest rate method.

 

The acquisition includes a potential additional payment for up to 60 medical school seats, contingent upon regulatory approval. If approved by MEC within 36 months from the closing date, an additional payment of R$1,000 per approved seat will become payable. Afya Brazil does not have a legal or constructive obligation at the acquisition date or at any reporting date. Upon approval, the additional seats will give rise to additional licenses, which will be recognized and measured at that time, together with the recognition of the related liability.

 

Management assessed the aspects of such transaction in accordance with IFRS 3 - Business Combinations and applied the optional ‘concentration test’, designed to simplify the evaluation of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Since substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset, Management concluded that the transaction does not fall under the definition of a business, but an acquisition of assets, which were measured on initial recognition at cost allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities on a relative fair value basis.

 

The valuation techniques used to licenses with indefinite useful life, which were the most representative asset acquired, were the With-and-without method, which consists of estimating the fair value of an asset by the difference between the value of this asset in two scenarios: a scenario considering the existence of the asset in question and another considering its non-existence.

 

2.Material accounting policies

3.Segment information

 

The Company has three reportable segments as follows:

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives

 

The Company performs its annual impairment test in December and when circumstances indicated that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company’s impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives is based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash-generating units were disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no impairment indicatives of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Other intangible assets

 

Intangible assets, other than goodwill and licenses with indefinite useful lives, are valued separately for each acquisition and are amortized during each useful life. The useful lives and methods of amortization of other intangibles are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

 

There were no impairment indicatives of intangible assets with finite useful lives as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

11.4.Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies

 

The Company’s main financial liabilities comprise loans and financing, lease liabilities, accounts payable to selling shareholders and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and expansion. The Company’s main financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.

 

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company monitors market, credit and liquidity risks in line with the objectives of capital management and counts on the support, monitoring and oversight of the Board of Directors in decisions related to capital management and its alignment with the objectives and risks. The Company’s policy is that no trading of derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees with policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.

 

11.4.1.Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company’s exposure to market risk is related to interest rate and foreign currency risk. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relates to the position as of March 31, 2026.

 

a) Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash equivalents, loans and financing and accounts payable to selling shareholders, with floating interest rates.

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest on cash equivalents, loans and financing and accounts payable to selling shareholders. With all variables held constant, the Company’s income before income taxes is affected through the impact on floating interest rates, as follows:

 

  March 31, 2026 Index Base rate
  (unaudited)    
Cash equivalents 1,295,157 CDI 189,930
Loans and financing (2,124,512) CDI (330,092)
Accounts payable to selling shareholders (356,330) CDI (52,202)
Net exposure     (192,364)

 

  Increase in basis points
  +75 +150
Net effect on profit before tax (8,893) (17,785)

b) Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates to cash and cash equivalents denominated in U.S. dollars in the amount of R$11,913 as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025: R$23,422).

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

The table below demonstrates the sensitivity in the Company’s income before income taxes of a 10% change in the U.S. dollar exchange rate (R$5.2188 to U.S. dollar 1.00) as of March 31, 2026, with all other variables held constant.

 

  Exposure +10% -10%
Cash equivalents 11,913 1,191 (1,191)

 

11.4.2.Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including cash and cash equivalents.

 

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on the established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. See Note 5 for additional information on the Company’s trade receivables.

 

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within limits assigned to each counterparty.

 

The carrying amounts of its financial assets are the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the consolidated statements of financial position on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

11.4.3.Liquidity risk

 

The Company’s Management has responsibility for monitoring liquidity risk. In order to achieve the Company’s objective, Management regularly reviews the risk and maintains appropriate reserves, including bank credit facilities with first tier financial institutions. Management also continuously monitors projected and actual cash flows and the combination of the maturity profiles of the financial assets and liabilities.

 

The main requirements for financial resources used by the Company arise from the need to make payments for suppliers, operating expenses, labor and social obligations, loans and financing and accounts payable to selling shareholders.

 

The tables below summarize the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted amounts:

19.        Income taxes

 

Income taxes are comprised of taxation over operations in Brazil, related to Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL). According to Brazilian tax legislation, income taxes and social contribution are assessed and paid by legal entity and not on a consolidated basis, except by the requirements of the Pillar Two global minimum tax.

 

Income taxes expenses

 

The Company calculates the income taxes expenses using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings, including the effects of the OECD’s Pillar Two global minimum tax.

 

The table below presents the reconciliation of income taxes expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

(i) The Company adhered to PROUNI, established by Law 11,096/2005, which is a federal program that exempts companies of paying income taxes and social contribution upon compliance with certain requirements required by this Law.

(ii) Brazilian tax law establishes that companies that generate gross revenues of up to R$78,000 in the prior fiscal year may calculate income taxes as a percentage of gross revenue, using the presumed profit tax regime. The effect of the presumed profit of certain subsidiaries represents the difference between the taxation based on this method and the amount that would be due based on the statutory rate applied to the taxable profit of the subsidiaries.

The tax claims to which the Company is party are mostly tax foreclosures filed by the Brazilian federal and municipal tax authorities.

 

There are other civil, labor and taxes proceedings assessed by Management and its legal counsels as possible risk of loss, for which no provisions are recognized, as follows:

 

  March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025
  (unaudited)  
Labor 37,135 36,818
Civil 59,431 59,145
Taxes 30,328 30,530
  126,894 126,493

 

Under the terms of the Share Purchase and Sale Agreements ("Agreements") between the Company and the selling shareholders of the subsidiaries acquired, the Company assesses that the selling shareholders are exclusively responsible for any provisions (including labor, tax and civil), which are or will be the subject of a claim by any third party, arising from the act or fact occurred, by action or omission, prior to or on the closing dates of the acquisitions.

 

Considering that the provisions for legal proceedings that result from causes arising from events occurring prior to the closing dates of the acquisitions, any liability for the amounts to be disbursed, in case of their effective materialization in loss, belongs exclusively to the selling shareholders. In this context, the Agreements state that the Company and its subsidiaries are indemnified and therefore exempt from any liability related to said contingent liabilities. Therefore, the provision amounts related to such contingencies are presented in the non-current liabilities and the correspondent amount of R$80,917 (December 31, 2025: R$80,379) is presented in non-current other assets.

 

21.        Non-cash transactions
