Notes to the interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$)

1.Corporate information

Vitru Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio S.A. (“Vitru” or “Company”) is a privately-held Brazilian company, organized and operating in accordance with the laws of Brazil, established on June 27, 2014. The Company’s head office is located at Rod. José Carlos Daux, 5500 Torre Jurerê A - Sala 212, Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

The Company is principally engaged is making investments in companies providing educational services and the provision of distance continuing education services through the operating structure of its subsidiaries.

Vitru Limited, headquartered in the Cayman Islands, was incorporated on September 2, 2020 for the initial issuance of shares on NASDAQ, became the sole parent company of Vitru Brasil and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), which are primarily engaged in the provision of educational services in Brazil, in particular undergraduate and continuing education courses, in person at their eight campuses located in three different states, or distance learning, through 2,499 learning centers (“hubs”) throughout Brazil.

These individual and consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Executive Board on May 7, 2024, and approved by the governance bodies on May 9, 2024.

Management reviewed the Company’s position and concluded that the Company has the capacity to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, this interim financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Significant events during the period

Seasonality

Distance learning undergraduate courses are structured in independent monthly modules. This allows students to enroll in distance learning courses at any time during a six-month period. Despite this flexibility, there is generally a higher number of enrollments in distance learning courses in the first and third quarters of each year. These periods coincide with the start of academic semesters in Brazil. In addition, there is a higher number of enrollments at the beginning of the first six-month period of each year than at the beginning of the second six-month period of each year. In order to attract and encourage potential new students to enroll in undergraduate courses at the end of the six-month period, the Group usually offers discounts, generally equivalent to the number of months elapsed in the six-month period. As a result, because revenue from six-month contracts is recognized throughout the six-month period, revenue is generally higher in the second and fourth quarters of each year, as additional students enroll at the end of the six-month period. Revenue is also higher at the end of the six-month period due to lower drop-out rates in the period.

The Group assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, current trade receivables, trade payables, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Non-current trade receivables have their carrying amount discounted by their respective effective interest, which represents values compatible with current market conditions, rate in order to be presented as close as possible to its fair value.

4.4.Financial instruments: risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and financing, trade payables and lease liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include trade receivables, short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

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

4.4.1.Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group’s exposure to market risk is related to the interest rate risk.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relates to the position as of March 31, 2024.

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 Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to short-term investments and loans and financing, subject in each case to variable interest rates, principally the Brazilian interbank deposit (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário), or CDI rate, and the Broad National Consumer Price Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), or IPCA inflation rate.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on short-term investments and loans and financing. With all variables held constant, the Group’s income before income taxes is affected through the impact on floating interest rate, as follows:


					Increase/decrease in interest rate
	Balance as of 03/31/2024	Index - % per year	Probable scenario	Risk	Possible scenario – 25%	Remote scenario - 75%
Short-term investments	362,236	CDI - 12.35%	44,736	Decrease	33,552	11,184
Trade receivables	12,047	IPCA - 3.93%	473	Decrease	355	118
Lease liabilities	329,138	IGP-M - 4.26%	14,021	Increase	17,527	24,537
Loans and financing	2,279,668	CDI - 12.35%	281,539	Increase	351,924	492,693

Probable scenario reflects the closing rates of the fixed interest yield and inflation indexes for the past twelve months. The possible scenario projects a variation of 25 percent in these rates and, the remote scenario, a variation of 75 percent, both rise and fall, being considered the largest losses resulting by risk factor.

4.4.2.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. Credit risk arises from the Group’s exposure to third parties, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, as well as from its operating activities, primarily related to trade receivables.

Customer credit risk is managed by the Group based on the established policy, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored. See Note 7 for additional information on the Group’s trade receivables.

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

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for components of the statemen of financial position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is the carrying amounts of its financial assets.

4.4.3.Liquidity risk

The Group’s Management has responsibility for monitoring liquidity risk. In order to achieve the Group’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.

Non-current	4	6	74,900	69,127

(i) In 2015, a special private installment payment program (PEP) was introduced to facilitate the entry of students who could not qualify for FIES, due to changes occurred in the program at the time. These receivables bear interests of 3.93% per year and, given the long term of the installments, they have been discounted at an interbank rate of 12.35% per year.

Unicesumar has a program similar to PEP, where the students receive a deduction from gross tuition based on services provided during the student’s undergraduate program. The deduction is based on a fixed percentage and, after graduation, the students pay back the deduction on the current value of tuitions.

The aging list of trade receivables is as follows:


	Parent		Consolidated
	03/31/2024	12/31/2023	03/31/2024	12/31/2023

	35,661	34,515	292,613	304,687

Cancellations consist of deductions from revenue to adjust it to the value at which it will no longer be reversed, generally related to students that have not attended classes and do not recognize the service provided or are dissatisfied with the services being provided, generally because they have not adapted to the platform or their own choice of subject matter. A provision for cancellation is estimated using the expected value method, which considers accumulated experience and is updated at the end of each period for changes in expectations.

		2024
At the beginning of the year		(12,150)
Additions		(5,228)
Reversals		960
At the end of the year		(16,418)

The Group records the allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables on a monthly basis by analyzing the amounts invoiced in the month, the monthly volume of receivables and the respective outstanding amounts by late payment range, calculating the recovery performance. Under this methodology, the monthly billed amount and each late payment range is assigned a percentage of probability of loss that is accrued for on a recurring basis.

When the delay exceeds 365 days, a receivable is written-off. Even for written-off receivables, collection efforts continue, and their receipt is recognized directly in the statement of profit or loss, when incurred, as recovery of losses.

Changes in the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses are as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s subsidiaries were subject to several labor claims.

Tax proceedings classified as possible loss

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s subsidiaries were subject to several tax lawsuits. The Company has an outstanding tax administrative proceeding related to Tax Infraction Notice No. 000204.00/2017, issued by the Porto Alegre City Hall Municipal Finance Department, in the total amount of R$28,024, corresponding to alleged Service Tax (ISS) debt, plus a 150% fine and late payment interest, for the period from January 2012 to June 2017.

27.Segment reporting

The Company manages its activities by dividing them in three main reportable business segments, in order to differentiate the products offered. General and administrative expenses (except amortization of intangible assets and impairment expenses), financial results (except interest on tuition fees in arrears), and taxes on income are managed on a consolidated basis by the Company and are not allocated to the operating segments.

The segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on the net revenue and adjusted profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated based on the operating income plus depreciation and amortization plus interest received on tuition fees in arrears and adjusted by eliminating the effects of share-based compensation plus/minus non-recurring expenses.
