Higher Q1 2026 profit and cash flow at Telefônica Brasil (NYSE: VIV)
Telefônica Brasil S.A. reported solid Q1 2026 interim results, with consolidated net operating revenue of R$15.46 billion and net income of R$1.26 billion. Revenue and profit both increased versus Q1 2025, while basic and diluted earnings per share rose to R$0.39 from R$0.33.
Operating income improved to R$2.32 billion as higher sales more than offset increased selling and administrative expenses. Net financial expense also grew, but overall profitability still strengthened, helped by tax benefits related to interest on equity distributions.
The consolidated balance sheet remains sizable, with total assets of R$130.48 billion and equity of R$69.78 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased to R$9.06 billion, supported by strong operating cash flow of R$5.30 billion in the quarter. The auditor’s review concluded the interim statements present fairly the company’s financial position under CPC 21 and IAS 34.

Insights
Q1 2026 shows higher revenue, margins and cash flow with stable leverage.
Telefônica Brasil delivered higher Q1 2026 consolidated net operating revenue of R$15.46 billion versus Q1 2025, with net income rising to R$1.26 billion. Operating income expanded as gross profit growth outpaced higher selling and administrative expenses.
Net financial expenses increased, but the effective tax rate fell, aided by the tax benefit from interest on equity distributions. The company also continues to recognize significant deferred tax positions and maintains provisions for legal and regulatory contingencies within a stable framework.
On the balance sheet, total assets reached R$130.48 billion and equity R$69.78 billion, while cash and cash equivalents increased to R$9.06 billion. Robust operating cash flow of R$5.30 billion funded capex of about R$2.41 billion, keeping net leverage controlled. Future filings may detail impacts from ongoing Brazilian tax reform and evolving ANATEL regulations.

and report on review
Report on review of parent company and
consolidated interim financial statements
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Telefônica Brasil S.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheet of Telefônica Brasil S.A. ("Company") as at March 31, 2026 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month period then ended, and the statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheet of Telefônica Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Consolidated") as at March 31, 2026 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month period then ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and Notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these parent company and consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21 - Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and of the Company and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2026, and the parent company financial performance for the quarter and three-month period then ended and its cash flows for the three-month period then ended, as well as the consolidated financial performance for the three-month period then ended and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34.
Other matters - Statements of value added
The interim financial statements referred to above include the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management and are presented as supplementary information under IAS 34. These statements have been subjected to review procedures performed together with the review of the interim financial statements for the purpose concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in the accounting standard CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added have not been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in this accounting standard, and that they are consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim financial statements taken as a whole.

Risks related to the telecommunications sector in Brazil and the Company
The Company's business is subject to extensive regulation, including changes that may occur during the terms of the Company's contracts to provide telecommunications services in Brazil. ANATEL, the regulatory national body for the telecommunications sector, regulates, among other the: sector policies and regulations; licensing; fees and tariffs; competitive aspects, including the expansion of the Company'Business through the acquisition of other telecommunications companies; service, technical and quality standards; consumer rights; and penalties and other sanctions related to interconnection and agreements.
The regulatory framework for telecommunications in Brazil is constantly evolving. The interpretation and compliance with regulations, the assessment of compliance with standards, and the flexibility of regulatory authorizations can be subjective nature. The Company operates under authorizations granted by the Brazilian government, such authorizations are critical to the Company's success. However, due to the changing nature of the Brazilian regulatory framework, the Company cannot assure that ANATEL will not issue terms of authorizations and/or licenses which are not favorable to the Company’s business. The Company's authorizations and licenses to operate, require the Company to meet specific goals and maintain a minimum level of quality, coverage, and service standards. Failure to meet these requirements may result in the imposition of fines, penalties, or other regulatory reactions, including the termination of authorizations to operate. A partial or total termination of any of the Company's authorizations or licenses to operate would have a substantially adverse effect on the business, its financial condition, revenues, operating results, and prospects.
In recent years, ANATEL has reviewed and introduced regulatory changes, especially stimulating competition and modifying interconnection fees charged between local telecommunications service providers. Competition measures are regularly used to seek an equilibrium in markets where one or more participants hold significantly greater market power over its competitors.
As stated in ANATEL's regulatory agenda for the 2023-2024 biennium, the revision of the General Competition Goals Plan (“PGMC”), approved by Resolution No. 600 of November 8, 2012, and updated by Resolution No. 694 of July 17, 2018, was submitted to Public Consultation in November 2023. This brings together, in a single regulatory instrument, a set of specific measures aimed at promoting competition introducing a framework for future reassessments of sectoral competition performance. This review, every four years, and begins from the publication of public consultation No. 64 of November 6, 2023, with emphasis on markets in the sector, asymmetric regulatory measures, and holders of Significant Market Power (“SMP”), as defined in the regulation.
Following approval by the ANATEL Board of Directors, the new PGMC was published by Resolution No. 783, of September 3, 2025, under a deadline set in ANATEL's regulatory agenda for the 2025-2026 biennium (discussed in Public Consultation No. 46, of September 11, 2024, and approved by ANATEL Internal Resolution No. 399/2024, of December 30, 2024), indicating final approval in the second half of 2025.
Also in November 2023, ANATEL submitted to public consultation the revision of the Spectrum Use Regulation (“RUE”), approved by Resolution No. 671, of November 3, 2016. The new wording proposed by ANATEL includes, among other changes, new regulations for granting authorizations for the use of a secondary spectrum on basis, in addition to changes in the procedures for evaluating the efficient use of the spectrum. by ANATEL. The expectation is that the new RUE will be published in the second half of 2026.
As to the acquisition of the UPI (Standard Interconnection Unit) of Oi Móvel S.A.'s mobile assets by the three largest operators in the Brazilian SMP market (Vivo, Claro and TIM) (“Operation”), approved by ANATEL and the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (“CADE”), it is noteworthy that the publication of the New PGMC concluded the regulatory remedies imposed as a result of the Operation, as well as the CADE's monitoring period for compliance with the remedies.

The impositions from the Operation were extinguished for the MVNO and as the spectrum sharing market, as ANATEL did not indicate any market failures and competition problems that justified them. For National Roaming, which remained a relevant market (as it was also before the Operation), price controls were maintained through a Bottom-Up LRIC+ Cost Model.
In the overall context described above, the adoption of disproportionately asymmetrical measures and the prospect of ANATEL adopting concepts, prices, and remuneration models that could impact the remuneration and cost scenario could substantially harm the Company's business, financial condition, revenues, operating results, and prospects.
The interconnection tariffs, form the basis of the Company's revenue and costs and are charged between telecommunications service providers to allow and remunerate the interconnected use of their networks. Changes to the regulations over interconnection tariffs may reduce tariff revenues or costs or charge affecting the Company's business, financial condition, revenues, operating results, and prospects.
The Company is also at risk from changes in rules and regulations aimed at preserving the rights of consumers of telecommunications services. In this regard, it should be added that ANATEL published, in November 2023, the new General Regulation of Consumer Rights (“RGC”), through Resolution No. 765/2023, which came into force on September 1, 2025, replacing Resolution No. 632/2014. This new Regulation affects telecommunications services offered, in addition to updating customer service procedures.
Therefore, the Company's business, operating results, revenues and financial conditions could be negatively affected the regulatory authorities, including, new or more stringent operational and/or service requirements; granting of operating licenses; limitations on interconnection tariffs; sanctions for failures to comply with regulatory obligations; delays in granting, or lack of approvals for tariff increases; and antitrust limitations imposed by ANATEL and CADE.
The Company may also not be unsuccessful in being awarded new tenders by ANATEL for the acquisition of new radio frequency usage authorizations. The ANATEL Board of Directors, through Ruling No. 148/2024, instructed that the ANATEL Superintendencies to publish, by December 31, 2025, a new tender notice for the 700 MHz sub-band. The tender notice was approved by the Federal Court of Accounts and published by ANATEL in February 2026. ANATEL Resolution No. 785/2025, approved a plan for issuing tenders for radio frequency usage authorizations, over time scales through to 2036.
1.c. Reform of taxes on consumption
On December 20, 2023, Constitutional Amendment (“EC”) No. 132 was enacted, establishing the Tax Reform (“Reform”) on consumption. Complementary Law No. 214/2025 (“LC”) was sanctioned by the President of the Republic on January 16, 2025 and, on January 13, 2026, LC No. 227/2026 was approved, which, among other topics, creates the IBS management committee, to regulates tax litigation, and establishes rules for the administration of the new taxes.
The Reform model is based on a split VAT (“dual VAT”) model: under federal jurisdiction (Contribution on Goods and Services - CBS) and non federal jurisdiction (Tax on Goods and Services - IBS), which will replace the PIS, COFINS, ICMS, and ISS taxes. A Selective Tax (“IS”) under federal jurisdiction was also created, which will apply to the production, extraction, marketing, or importation of goods and services that are harmful to health and the environment, according to the LC (Complementary Law), but not to telecommunications services. There will be a transition period from 2026 to 2032, during which the two tax systems (old and new) will coexist.
During 2026, invoices will display a proforma charge for CBS (0.9%) and IBS (0.1%) for information purposes only. Consequently, there will be no financial impact. The Company is preparing its systems to issue and receive tax documents displaying the IBS and CBS. Only from January 2027 will the new taxes begin to affect the Company.
It is worth noting that the impacts of the Tax Reform will only be fully known after the other stages of legal and infra-legal regulation, which may include the enactment of new ordinary laws (federal, state and municipal), decrees, normative instructions and technical notes.

| (In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) | |
The Reform on has not affected the individual and consolidated Quarterly Information (“ITRs”) for the period ending March 31, 2026.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
2.a. Statement of compliance
The individual (Parent Company) and consolidated (Consolidated) quarterly information (“ITRs”) were prepared and are being presented in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 - Interim Statements, issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and with international standards IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), the “IFRS accounting standards” (IFRS® Accounting Standards), including interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC® Interpretations) or its predecessor, Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC® Interpretations) and in a manner consistent with the deliberations issued by the CVM, applicable to the preparation of ITRs.
The Company also considered the guidelines set forth in Technical Guidance OCPC 07, issued by the CPC in November 2014, when preparing the ITRs and disclosures are limited to all matters of significance to the financial statements, which is consistent with the information utilized by Management in the performance of its duties.
2.b. Basis of preparation and presentation
The individual and consolidated ITRs were prepared under the historical cost convention, other than for certain assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value.
The Company prepared its financial statements based on the assumption of operational continuity.
An asset is classified as current when it meets any of the following criteria: (a) it is expected to be realized, or is intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal course of the entity's operating cycle; (b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; (c) it is expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or (d) it is cash or a cash equivalent, unless its exchange or use to settle a liability is prohibited for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
A liability is classified as current when it meets any of the following criteria: (a) it is expected to be settled during the entity's normal operating cycle; (b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; (c) it is expected to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or (d) the entity does not have the right, at the balance sheet date, to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after that date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are all classified as non-current.
The Statements of Cash Flows were prepared pursuant to IAS 7 / CPC 03 to reflect the changes in cash that occurred in the periods presented, using the indirect method.
The accounting standards adopted in Brazil require the presentation of the Statement of Value Added (“DVA”), both individual and consolidated; IFRS standards do not require such presentation. The DVA was prepared in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 09 and is being presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes.
These ITRs compare the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, except for the balance sheets, which compare the positions as of March 31, 2026 with December 31, 2025.
The Company's ITRs were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on May 7, 2026.

2.c. Functional and reporting currency
The individual and consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Brazilian Real/Reais (R$) (unless otherwise mentioned). The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Real.
Transactions in foreign currency are converted into Brazilian Reais as follows: (i) assets, liabilities and equity (except share capital and capital reserves) are converted at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date; (ii) expenses and revenues are converted at the average exchange rate, except for specific operations that are converted at the rate on the date of the transaction; and (iii) share capital and capital reserves are converted at the rate on the date of the transaction.
Gains and losses from the conversion of investees abroad are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as cumulative translations adjustments. Gains and losses resulting from the conversion of monetary assets and liabilities between the exchange rate in force on the date of the transaction and the end of the years (except the conversion of investments abroad) are recognized in the statement of income.
2.d. Basis of consolidation
Equity interests in subsidiaries or jointly controlled companies are valued using the equity method in the individual parent company quarterly information. In the consolidated quarterly information, the investment and all balances of assets and liabilities, income and expenses arising from transactions and equity interest in subsidiaries are eliminated in full. Investments in jointly controlled companies are reported under the equity method in the consolidated quarterly information.
The information relating to direct and jointly controlled subsidiaries is the same as that in Note 12. Investments, disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Information on the investees is presented in Note 12.
2.e. Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available which is assessed on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing the segment's performance. Considering that: (i) all decisions are made based on consolidated reports; (ii) the mission of the Company and its subsidiaries is to provide its customers with quality telecommunications services; and (iii) all decisions relating to strategic, financial planning, purchasing, investments and application of resources are made on a consolidated basis, Management's conclusion is that the Company and its subsidiaries operate in a single operating segment providing services telecommunications.
2.f. Significant accounting practices
The information in the explanatory notes that did not undergo significant changes compared to and as disclosed at December 31, 2025 was not repeated in these ITRs.
The material accounting policies adopted in preparing the Company's Interim Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, are consistent with those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and should be analyzed in conjunction with those financial statements, except for the Changes in the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (equivalent to CPC 48 and CPC 40, respectively) and Annual Enhancements to International Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards) – Volume 11, both effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. These changes and enhancements did not impact the Company's Interim Financial Statements.
The Company did not early adopt new accounting standards or interpretations unless mandatory.

2.g. Significant accounting judgments estimates and assumptions
The preparation of individual and consolidated ITRs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and the exercise of judgment by the Company's Management in applying its accounting policies. These estimates are based on experience, information available at the balance sheet date and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in values that differ from those recorded in the ITRs due to the criteria inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its estimates at least annually.
The significant and relevant estimates and judgments applied by the Company in the preparation of these ITRs have not changed in relation to those presented in the following explanatory notes as presented in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025: Corporate events of 2025 (Business Combination); accounts receivable; Income tax and social contribution; PP&E; intangibles; provisions and contingencies; loans and financing, debentures, leases and other creditors; pension plans and other post-employment benefits; and financial instruments and capital and risk management.

On March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, unrecognized deferred tax assets for tax carryforward losses of the Company's subsidiaries (POP, TLF05 (previously Recicla V), TGLog and Fibrasil), totalled R$33,720 and R$19,039 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, deferred tax assets were not recognized because sufficient projected taxable profits can not be assured for offset.
8.d. Reconciliation of statutory tax rate to effective tax rate
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize income and social contribution taxes on an accrual basis, and pay taxes based on estimates, recorded in a tax auxiliary ledger. Taxes calculated on profits at the balance sheet date are recorded in liabilities or assets, as applicable.
A reconciliation from the statutory tax rate of 34% (income tax of 25% and social contribution tax of 9%) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

8.e. Uncertain Tax Treatments
The Company and its subsidiaries are contesting several assessments filed by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority (“RFB“) for alleged incorrect deductions of expenses, mainly related to the amortization of goodwill, at various administrative and judicial levels, totaling R$42,093,060 and R$40,297,796 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Management, under the advice of its legal advisors, believes that a large part of these deductions will likely be accepted once examined by the higher courts of last resort (acceptance probability greater than 50%). These amounts accrue SELIC interest.
When the Company and its subsidiaries believe that the probability of loss is greater than 50%, a non-current income tax and social contribution liability is recognized. The amount recognized was R$272,613 and R$269,158 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These claims involve compensation for overpayment of income tax and social contribution awaiting approval by the RFB.
8.f. Adaptation to new OECD Pillar II rules
On December 27, 2024 Law 15,079/24 was enacted, introducing an additional Social Contribution on Net Income (“CSLL”) charge to adapt Brazilian legislation to the Global Rules Against Base Erosion, OECD model (“Pillar II”). The Law determines that if a Company presents an effective combined rate of Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income of less than 15%, it must make an tax payment until this minimum percentage is satisfied. This rule became effective as of January 2025; if an additional payment is necessary, the amount will be collected in the following year. The Company does not expect a significant impact as its effective rates exceed the stipulated minimum rate.
Transfer Pricing Rules – Alignment with OECD Standards
On December 28, 2022, Law No. 14,596/2023 was published, later regulated by RFB Normative Instruction No. 2,161/2023, which established the new Brazilian Transfer Pricing regime, aligned with OECD guidelines. The new rules became mandatory as of January 1, 2024, and are designed to as sure that intercompany transactions are carried out on an arm's length basis.

| (In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) | |
The Company is currently in the process of preparing the analysis for the corresponding fiscal year, including a sensitivity study, supporting documentation, and a review of applicable methods, as provided for in current legislation. Although the technical process is still under development, the Company does not expect significant impacts from the adoption of the new transfer pricing regime, given the nature of the transactions carried out and the history of compliance with international standards.
The Company will continue to monitor these regulations and assure its financial statements are updated based on any adjustments identified upon completion of the formal transfer pricing analysis.

19.c.1. Regulatory provisions
Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes the likelihood of loss of the following regulatory proceedings to be probable:
The Company is a party to administrative proceedings initiated mainly by ANATEL, alleging non-compliance with sectoral regulations, as well as filing legal proceedings, mostly, sanctions applied by ANATEL at the administrative level. These include:
| • | Burden: Specifically regarding the payment of the onerous charge applied to Personal Mobile Service (SMP) (SMP burden), there is a dispute as to whether revenues are due for radio frequency renewal. Management, under the advice of legal counsel, assesses that there is a probable loss for the SMP burden regarding data revenue, due to the existence of unfavorable decisions both by ANATEL in 2021 and in the lower court. Although the Company managed to overturn one of the unfavorable decisions, the judgment of the Company's Appeal in the lower court was not final, and ANATEL has already appealed. The Company is now prospectively paying amounts for ANATEL, starting in 2022, accordingly, the provision is maintained. |
| • | General User Rights (“DGU”): The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and judicial discussions regarding the rights of users of telecommunications services, with regard the General Regulation of Consumer Rights of Telecommunications Services (“RGC”), approved by Resolution No. 632/2014, especially regarding the provision of services, collection of amounts, disputes, reimbursement, among others. |

| • | Quality: The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and judicial discussions regarding telecommunications services arising from SMP, SeAC and SCM concessions, compliance with the indicators that measure the quality of these services nationwide, based on the Telecommunications Services Quality Regulation (“RQUAL”), approved by Resolution No. 717/2019. |
| • | Relationship with other Providers: The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and legal discussions affecting the regulatory relationship with other telecommunications service providers regarding interconnection, EILD, and the supply of other wholesale products. |
The consolidated provisions totaled R$987,614 and R$989,545 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Other cases:
| • | The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and legal discussions regarding other matters, including for service interruptions, various regulatory obligations, technical irregularities, Public Civil Actions, among others. |
| • | On October 1, 2024, the Company was advised of a Monitoring and Control Procedure ("PAC") for Reimbursement to monitor compliance with the obligation to compensate consumers identified in a Procedure for Determining Non-Compliance with Obligations ("PADO") that is in progress. As the original PADO has not issued its final decision, a request was made to suspend the PAC, which was accepted by ANATEL through a Decision. |
The consolidated amounts provisions totaled R$86,070 and R$84,417 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
19.c.2. Possible risk of losses - regulatory contingencies
Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes the likelihood of loss of the following regulatory proceedings is possible:
| • | Dispute regarding the revenues to be included in the calculation of the fee due for the extension of radio frequencies associated with SMP (except for SMP data revenues, as informed in item c.1 of this note). In ANATEL's view, the fee should consider 2% applie to percentage on all economic benefits arising from the provision of the SMP service. However, in the Company's view, revenues that are not part of the SMP service plans, such as interconnection, SVA, revenues earned in the 15th year of the license validity, and others, should not be considered in the fee calculation. Accordingly, the Company filed administrative claims and lawsuits to challenge ANATEL's fee charges. In July 2024, the ANATEL Board of Directors judged the PAC (Annual Permit for the Development of the Telecommunications Sector) regarding the calculation of the burden for the 2016 biannual period, related to the extension of the radio frequency associated with the SMP (Mobile Personal Service), the result of which was partially favorable to the Company, insofar as it decided to include the terms of lesser scope in the calculation methodology, resulting in a reduction of values. In this vein, ANATEL has already recalculated the bienniums of 2017, 2018, and 2022 to reflect the effects of the decision, with the remaining ones pending recalculation by ANATEL. It is estimated that, with a prognosis of possible loss of the SMP burden, the value is approximately is R$1,186,295 and R$1,182,102 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. |
| • | In 2026, R$34,853 was received due to the filing of the SMP (Mobile Personal Service) burden declaration for the 2025/2026 biennium, under PAC No. 53500.099440/2025-06, relating to items that the Company considers controversial and are the subject of dispute with ANATEL (Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency). |

| • | Legal proceeding filed by the Company to overturn a decision by CADE, alleging that certain operators (Claro, Oi Móvel and the Company) had engaged in anticompetitive conduct by forming the Rede Correios Consortium to compete in electronic auction No. 144/2015, held by the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company; and that there was alleged price discrimination by the Company in relation to services offered to BT Brasil Serviços de Telecomunicações Ltda (“BT”), imposing a fine of R$28,394, which plus interest totals R$42,449 and R$43,260 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This action seeks to annul the aforementioned sanction, based on (i) no legal prohibition to form a consortium to participate in a public bidding process; (ii) the lack of typicality and the impossibility of sanctioning by analogy; and (iii) the absence of clear criteria for calculating the sanction and the lack of reasonableness. The case is in the lower courts awaiting a ruling. |
| • | The PADO that deals with coverage targets for which the fine applied was R$127,741, plus interest totaling R$188,806 and R$184,486 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, in lieu of settling the fine in cash by providing investment in the installation of a 4G radio base station in 188 locations with no access to this technology, within two and a half years, including year one maintenance costs. The installation will not be performed by range sharing, swap, network rental, industrial exploration contracts, or other contractual means. Upon confirmation by ANATEL, compliance within the determined period has been subject to monitoring. |
| • | On October 1, 2024, the Company was advised of a Monitoring and Control Procedure (“PAC”) for Compensation to monitor compliance with the obligation to provide compensation to consumers identified in a Procedure for Determining Non-Compliance with Obligations (“PADO”) which is in progress, which plus interest totals R$41,663 and R$40,524 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As the original PADO has no final decision yet, a request was made to suspend the PAC, which was accepted by ANATEL. |
The consolidated estimates totaled R$1,494,066 and R$1,450,372 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
In addition to the cases above, the Company is involved in administrative proceedings instituted mainly by ANATEL (other agents, including other operators, also have claims against the Company) based on alleged non-compliance with sectoral regulations, as well as ordinary legal proceedings and writs of mandamus, mainly, sanctions applied by ANATEL in the administrative sphere (Note 19.c.1.), namely: General User Rights (“DGU”); Quality and Relationship between Providers. The consolidated amounts involved totaled R$1,294,041 and R$1,315,968 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Other cases:
| • | The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and legal matters, such as coverage targets, service interruptions, various regulatory obligations, technical irregularities, payment of public prices for the acquisition of radio frequencies, compensation for unused frequency bands previously granted to the MMDS, Public Civil Actions, among others. |
| • | The Company is a party to legal proceedings concerning the suspension of services, non-increase of tariffs, repairs and maintenance of poles, not currently inestimable. These proceedings are still awaiting judgment in the respective courts. |
The consolidated estimates totaled R$453,274 and R$471,594 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

19.d.1. Civil provisions
Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes that the following civil proceedings will result in losses:
• The Company is a party to proceedings involving rights to the supplementary amounts from shares calculated on community telephony plants and network expansion plans since 1996 (supplement of share proceedings). These proceedings are at different stages: lower courts, court of justice and high court of justice. On March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the provision was R$124,901 and R$133,322, respectively.
• The Company and/or its subsidiaries are party to various civil proceedings related to individual matters at a consumer level, relating to the non-provision of services and/or products sold. On March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the provision was R$253,762 and R$250,015, respectively.
• The Company and/or its subsidiaries are party to various civil proceedings of a consumer and non-consumer nature at administrative and judicial levels, all arising in the ordinary course of business. On March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the provision was R$1,145,376 and R$1,051,328, respectively.
19.d.2. Possible losses - civil contingencies
Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes that the risk of losses is possible for the following civil proceedings:
| • | The Company and its subsidiaries are party to other civil claims, at several levels, related to service rendering rights. Such claims have been filed by individual consumers, civil associations representing consumer rights of consumers or by the Consumer Protection (“PROCON“), as well as by the Federal and State Public Prosecutor's Office. The Company is also party to other claims of several types related to the ordinary course of business. |
| • | Intellectual Property: Lune Projetos Especiais Telecomunicação Comércio e Ind. Ltda. (“Lune“), a Brazilian company, filed lawsuits on November 20, 2001, against 23 wireless carriers claiming to own the patent for “Bina“, a caller ID. The purpose of the lawsuit was to interrupt provision of such service by carriers and to seek indemnification equivalent to the amount paid by consumers for using the service. |
An unfavorable decision was handed down determining that the Company should refrain from selling mobile phones with the Bina ID service, subject to a daily fine of R$10,000.00 (Ten thousand reais) in the event of non-compliance. Furthermore, according to that decision, the Company must pay indemnification for royalties, to be calculated on settlement. Motions for Clarification were proposed by all parties and Lune's motions for clarification were accepted since an injunctive relief in this stage of the proceedings was deemed applicable. A review appeal was filed which granted a stay of execution suspending the unfavorable decision until final judgment in view of the sentence handed down on June 30, 2016, by the 4th Chamber of the Court of Justice of the Federal District, to annul the lower court sentence and remit the proceedings back to the lower court for a new examination. An expert report was submitted and the claims were dismissed. The parties filed an appeal. On February 1, 2023, the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories (“TJDFT”) judged the appeals and, unanimously, dismissed them, upholding the sentence of inadmissibility. Subsequently, a Special Appeal was filed by Lune, addressed by the Superior Court of Justice. An internal appeal was filed by Lune, which has not yet been judged. Management is unable to reasonably estimate a liability with respect to this claim.

| • | The Company, together with other operators that provide telecommunications services, is a defendant in disputes that challenge the practice adopted by operators of imposing a prescriptive term for the use of prepaid minutes. In other words, the plaintiff claims that the minutes of the prepaid package should not expire after the end of a specific term, and can be used at any time by the consumer. The TRF of the 6th Region, the public civil action that was originally processed in Uberlândia/MG forwarded it to the new TRF, which rejected the necessary referral, maintaining the inadmissibility of the claims made by the MPF, with the decision of the TRF of the 6th Region having already become final. There is still an ongoing public civil action, which was originally processed in Belém/PA, which is awaiting judgment in the TRF of the 1st Region, as well as the public civil action proposed by the OAB/SP against the Federal Union, ANATEL and operators, which was summarily extinguished, but which, by decision of the TRF of the 3rd Region, determined the processing of the action, without any sentence having been handed down yet. |

| Net income for the period | 1,261,083 | 1,058,212 | |

In accordance with accounting standard IAS 33 / CPC 41 – Earnings per share, if the number of common shares increases as a result of a stock split or decreases as a result of a reverse stock split, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented must be adjusted retrospectively. In this context, the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the basic and diluted earnings per share outstanding for the comparative period (March 31, 2025), originally presented as 1,622,434 and R$0.65, respectively, are being restated for the application of the retrospective adjustments of the assumptions of the reverse stock split and reverse stock split processes described in note 23.a.2).

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
31.a. Derivative transactions
The Company enters into derivative financial instrument contracts to mitigate the effects of inflation risks in lease contracts indexed to the IPCA (Brazilian Consumer Price Index), as well as against exchange rate risks related to liabilities in foreign currency. Derivative instruments are not used for speculative purposes, and existing exchange rate risks are duly covered (hedged).

In addition, the Company implemented has a hedging program to mitigate cash flow volatility resulting from fluctuations in the price of copper. These operations were carried out through NDF (Non-Deliverable Forward) contracts with monthly maturities until 2027, aiming to protect part of the projected sales volume. Considering the characteristics of these operations and pursuant to the applicable accounting standard, the Company adopted the hedge accounting methodology, as at cash flow hedge, for these operations. In situations where the anticipated transaction is no longer expected, the accumulated gain or loss and previously deferred hedging costs recognized in equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
The Company maintains derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to protect future copper revenue projected for the next 24 months. The contracts, referenced to the price of copper in reais (LME*PTAX), have an average contracted value of R$66,923 per ton, with 16,000 tons contracted considering a hedge ratio of 0:5 of the expected sales.
The hedge effects are recognized in other comprehensive income (hedge reserve) in equity and will be transferred to profit or loss as the hedged revenue impacts financial performance. If extraction does not occur on the scheduled dates, the contracts may be rolled over up to three times. After this limit, the amounts are reclassified to financial results.
The main source of ineffectiveness is the risk of not extracting copper on the scheduled dates. The qualitative effectiveness test as of March 31, 2026, confirmed that the hedge remained effective, given the 100% correlation between the hedged item and the derivative, since both have the same discount rate.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not recognize material expenses arising from losses on derivative transactions in its financial results.
The Company maintains internal controls regarding its derivative financial instruments which, in the opinion of Management, are adequate to control the risks associated with each market strategy. The results obtained by the Company in relation to its derivative financial instruments demonstrate that the management of risks by Management has been carried out appropriately. Since these derivative financial instrument contracts qualify as hedge accounting, the hedged risk can also be adjusted to fair value, offsetting the result of the derivative financial instruments, according to hedge accounting rules. This hedge accounting applies to both financial liabilities and probable cash flows in foreign currency.
Derivative financial instrument contracts have specific penalty clauses for breach of contract usually from by non-compliance with a contractual clause, resulting in the early settlement of the contract.
On March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held no embedded derivatives contracts or designated as a fair value hedge in their active portfolio.
31.a.1. Fair value of derivative financial instruments
The valuation method for the fair value of financial liabilities (if applicable) and derivative financial instruments is the discounted cash flow method, based on expected settlements or realization of liabilities and assets at market rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.
The fair values of the positions in Reais are calculated by projecting future inflows from transactions using B3 yield curves and discounting these flows to present value using market DI rates for swaps announced by B3.
The market values of foreign exchange derivatives were obtained using the market exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and projected market rates obtained from the currency's coupon-rate yield curves.
The linear convention of 360 calendar days was used to determine coupon rates of positions indexed in foreign currencies, while the exponential convention of 252 business days was used to determine coupon rates for positions indexed to CDI rates.

For the preparation of these financial statements, the Company adopts the fair value measurement methodology for foreign currency x CDI and IPCA x CDI swaps, used to hedge financial debts. In this approach, only the derivative instruments are measured at fair value, while the related financial debts remain recorded at amortized cost.
For copper NDF transactions, the Company applies a cash flow hedging strategy. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and, as sales are made, are reclassified to Other Operating Revenues in the income statement.
In the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, derivative financial instruments generated negative and positive consolidated net results of R$61,062 and R$41,906, respectively (Note 27).
31.a.2. Sensitivity analysis of the Company's risk variables
Publicly-held companies are required to disclose sensitivity analyses for each type of market risk considered significant by Management, arising from financial instruments, to which the entity is exposed at the closing date, including derivative financial instruments.
Each financial instrument derivative transaction was assessed, and assumptions under a probable base scenario and a further two stressed scenarios that could adversely impact the Company.
For the probable base scenario, at the maturity dates for each of the transactions, the market rates sourced from B3 yield curves (currencies and interest rates) supplemented by data from the IBGE, Central Bank, FGV, among others. In the probable scenario, there is no impact on the fair value of the above-mentioned derivatives. For scenarios II and III, consistent with the CVM requirement, risk variables were stressed by 25% and 50%, respectively.

31.b. Fair value
Being the fair value price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability will take place (i) in the principal market for the asset or liability; and (ii) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The Company and or its subsidiaries must have access to the principal or most advantageous market.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interests.
Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into consideration the capacity of a market participant to generate economic benefits through the best use of the asset or selling it to another market participant that would also make the best use of the asset.
The Company and its subsidiaries use appropriate valuation techniques to match their circumstances and for which there is sufficient data to measure the fair value, optimizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair values of all assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy described below, based on the lowest level of information that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: (i) Level 1: quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2: valuation techniques for which there is a significantly lower level of information to measure the fair value directly or indirectly observable; and (iii) Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest and significant level of information to measure the fair value is not available.
For assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company and its subsidiaries determine whether transfers have occurred between levels of the hierarchy, reassessing the categorization (based on information at the lowest and most significant level for measuring the fair value as a whole) to each year end.
The Company and its subsidiaries assessed their financial assets and liabilities in relation to market values using available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Both the interpretation of market data and the selection of valuation methods require considerable judgment and reasonable estimates to produce the most adequate realization value. As a result, the estimates shown do not necessarily indicate amounts that could be realized in the current market. The use of different assumptions for the market and/or methodologies may have a material effect on estimated realization values.
In the period/year ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no transfers of fair value assessments between the aforementioned levels.
For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries have classified assets and liabilities based on the nature, characteristics, and risks of each item, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy.

The purpose of capital management is to ensure maintenance of a high credit rating and an optimal capital ratio to support the Company's business and maximize shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure by making adjustments and adapting to current economic conditions. In seeking such equilibrium, the Company may pay dividends, obtain new loans, issue debentures and contract derivatives. For the period ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in capital structure objectives, policies or processes.
The Company includes in the net debt structure the balances of loans, financing, debentures, leases and other creditors and derivative financial instruments, less cash and equivalents cash and accounts receivable from credit rights (FIDC Vivo Money).

31.d. Risk management policy
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to several market risks as a result of its commercial operations, debts contracted to finance its activities and debt-related financial instruments.
31.d.1. Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to the foreign exchange risk for financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which may reduce receivables or increase payables depending on the exchange rate in the period.
Hedging transactions were executed to minimize the risks associated with exchange rate changes on financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. This balance is subject to daily changes due to the dynamics of the business. However, the Company seeks to provide cover for the net balance of these assets and obligations (US$127,912 thousand and €21,485 thousand paid by March 31, 2026, and US$64,147 thousand, €21,529 thousand and £5 thousand paid by December 31, 2025) to mitigate its foreign exchange risks.
31.d.2. Interest and Inflation Risk
This risk may arise from an unfavorable change in the domestic interest rate, which may adversely affect financial expenses for the portion of debentures linked to the CDI rate and liability positions in derivatives (currency hedge and IPCA) pegged to floating interest rates (CDI).
To reduce exposure to the floating interest rate (CDI), the Company and its subsidiaries have invested cash equivalents of R$9,000,221 and R$6,945,770 on March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, mostly in short-term CDI-based financial investments (CDBs). The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values, as they may be redeemed in the short term.
31.d.3. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility of the Company not having sufficient funds to meet its commitments due to the different timing and settlement terms of its rights and obligations.
The Company structures the maturities of financial instruments to manage their liquidity.
The Company's cash flow and liquidity are managed on a daily basis by the operating departments to ensure that cash flows and contracted funding, when necessary, are sufficient to meet scheduled commitments in to mitigate liquidity risk.
The maturity profile of consolidated financial liabilities includes future principal and interest amounts up to the maturity date. For fixed rate liabilities, interest was calculated based on the indices established in each contract. For floating rate liabilities, interest was calculated based on the market forecast for each period.
In order to minimize liquidity risk and ensure compliance with obligations, the Company's cash investment policy prioritizes instruments indexed to the CDI (floating rate), with daily liquidity and counterparties whose credit rating and/or balance scorecard indicate low credit risk. In addition, the investment policy establishes diversification limits for counterparties, fortifying the Company's ability to honor its payment commitments.
31.d.4. Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses resulting from difficulties in receiving invoiced amounts for the provision of services and sale of devices and equipment to its B2C and B2B customers and distributor network.
The credit risk from accounts receivable is diversified and risk minimized by diligent control over the customer base and constant risk analysis. The Company monitors the level of accounts receivable and limits the risk of unpaid bills on an ongoing basis, negating access to its services if the invoice is overdue. For prepaid mobile customers there is no credit risk.

| Three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 | |
| (In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated) | |
The credit risk from the sale of devices is managed by a conservative policy for granting credit, through management methods, including credit scoring techniques, analysis of financial statements and information and consultation of commercial databases, in addition to the request for guarantees.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk arising from their financial investments, letters of guarantee received as collateral for certain transactions and amounts receivable from derivative financial instruments. The Company and its subsidiaries monitor the credit limit granted to each counterparty and diversify this exposure among top-tier financial institutions, in accordance with the current counterparty credit policy.
31.d.5. Exchange rate and commodity risk
The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations linked to commodity risk arising from future revenue from copper sales, since both the international price of the metal and the exchange rate of the foreign currency can impact the amount to be received. Adverse variations in these markets can reduce revenue in reais and increase the volatility of results.
To mitigate these risks, hedging operations with financial derivatives were contracted, designed to simultaneously protect against currency exposure and exposure to the price of copper. These operations aim to maintain greater predictability in the project's cash flow and minimize the impacts of market fluctuations.
The amount covered, corresponding to 16,000 tons, is adjusted according to the dynamics of projected sales and the evolution of market conditions, ensuring continuous alignment between the protected volume and the Company's effective exposure.
31.d.6. Insurance Coverage
The policy of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the Telefónica Group, includes maintaining insurance coverage for all high-risk assets and liabilities of significant value, as determined by Management, following the guidelines of Telefónica's corporate program.
On March 31, 2026, the maximum limits of claims (established pursuant to the agreements of each entity consolidated by the Company) for significant assets, liabilities or interests covered by insurance and their respective total R$900,000 for operational risks (including business interruption) and R$106,000 for general civil liability.
Management considers the insurance coverage to be sufficient to cover any potential claims.

34. OTHER MATTERS
34.a. Environmental Risks
The Company's operations and properties are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that govern environmental licenses and registrations, protection of fauna and flora, atmospheric emissions, waste management and remediation of contaminated areas, among others. If the Company or its business partners are unable to comply with current and future legal requirements, or identify and manage new or existing environmental liabilities, it will may incur significant costs, which include investigation and remediation costs, indemnities, compensation, adjustment of conduct, fines, suspension of activities and other penalties, investments to improve facilities or change operations, in addition to damage to the Company's reputation in the market.
The identification of new relevant environmental issues, changes in assessment criteria by regulatory agencies, more restrictive laws and regulations or other unforeseen events may result in significant environmental liabilities and their respective costs. The occurrence of any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Pursuant to article 75 of Law No. 9,605/1998, the maximum fine for non-compliance with the environmental law is R$50,000 plus losses related to embargoes or administrative sanctions, in addition to indemnities and repairs for damages caused to the environment.
Climate change poses a number of potential systemic risks (environmental, financial and socioeconomic) to telecommunications operators from both a regulatory and physical perspective. Increased intensity and frequency of extreme events, such as precipitation, cyclones, floods, fires and heat waves, may damage, suspend or interrupt the Company’s transmission operations for an indefinite period. Should a succession of extreme weather events occur, the Company may not have sufficient resources to repair its infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner.
In a quantitative analysis, it is noted that the increase in temperature directly affects the operating conditions of the Company's network equipment, which can cause failures, accelerated wear and loss of assets and, therefore, increase the probability of service interruptions, generating reputational and financial risks. For this reason, cooling the equipment is essential to ensure the proper operation of the Company. In more serious cases, the risk of fires can also increase. As a result, global warming can increase demands for cooling and energy use, increasing our operating costs.
The telecommunications sector is not particularly dependent on fossil fuels, but it is dependent on electricity consumption for its networks, so variations in electricity prices are sensitive to the sector and can have a significant impact on the Company's operating expenses related to energy. The estimated economic impact of this risk classifies it as substantive, on the horizon of 2030.
