Expressed in thousands of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated

 

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 Limited became the holding company of Afya Participações S.A. (hereafter referred to as “Afya Brazil”), formerly denominated NRE Participações S.A., through the completion of the corporate reorganization in July 2019. Up to that date, Afya Limited did not have commenced operations and had only nominal assets and liabilities and no material contingent liabilities or commitments. Accordingly, Afya Limited’s consolidated financial information substantially reflect the operations of Afya Brazil after the corporate reorganization.

 

The Company is formed by a network of higher education and post graduate institutions focused on medicine located in 18 Brazilian states forming the largest educational group by the number of medical seats in the country and by services that comprises the development and sale of electronically distributed educational courses on medicine science, related printed and technological educational content. The Company also offers services to empower the physicians in their daily routine providing supporting clinic decisions thought mobile app subscription and deliver practice management tools through a Saas model.

 

Issuance of additional common shares

 

On February 6, 2020, Afya completed its follow-on public offering of 3,019,928 Class A common shares offered by the Company and 9,406,812 Class A common shares offered by the selling shareholders.

 

The offering price was US$ 27.50 per Class A common shares and gross proceeds of R$ 358,286 (US$ 83,048 thousand). The Company received net proceeds of R$ 339,648 (US$ 78,846 thousand), after deducting R$ 18,638 (US$ 4,202 thousand) in underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses.

 

On March 10, 2020, the underwriters exercised their option to acquire additional 240,552 Class A common shares at the offering price, resulting in gross proceeds of R$ 30,884 (US$ 6,615 thousand). The net proceeds from the additional shares were R$ 29,819 (US$ 6,387 thousand), after deducting R$ 1,066 (U$ 228 thousand) in underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

Afya transferred R$ 294,312 (US$ 68,060 thousand) of the net proceeds to bank accounts in Brazil with an increase in the capital of Afya Brazil. These deposits were invested in first-line financial institutions in Brazil and are denominated in Brazilian reais.

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have emerged in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread to most of the countries around the globe, including every state in Brazil. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and on March 20, 2020 the Brazilian federal government declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

 

Since March 17, 2020, there has been some interruption of our on-campus activities due to Brazilian government authorities mandatory lockdowns. We managed to rapidly adapt our business to these unusual times, and although there has been an interruption of our on-campus activities, we are offering our non-practical educational activities to our students through our online platform (rather than on-site). Regarding the offering of practical classes, we quickly resumed our in-hospital and health care residency programs for fifth and sixth year students, which represents the largest portion of our practical curriculum.

 

During 2020, the States of Rio de Janeiro, Pará, Tocantins, Piauí, Rondônia, Bahia and Maranhão had issued state decrees granting discounts to our students because of COVID-19. As of the date of these interim financial statements, these mandatory discounts have been suspended as their constitutionality has been challenged in the superior courts. As long as it has not been declared constitutional, we started to invoice our students without these discounts and, from March 2021, with the discount granted during 2020. Additionally, we are also facing individual and collective legal proceedings all across the country and a public civil proceeding in the state of Paraíba against our subsidiary FCMPB demanding mandatory discounts that are still pending on final legal decisions to be recovered. The total mandatory discounts granted due to COVID-19, net of discounts that have been recovered from previous period, total R$ 8,204 during 2021 being R$ 6,528 related to FCMPB.

 

As we continue to offer non-practical educational activities to our students through our platform and practical activities for fifth and sixth year students, through the same professors, staff and suppliers, we continue to charge our standard monthly tuitions fees. We are committed to deliver the best quality service, minimize the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our students, employees and our local communities. In addition, as of the date of these interim financial statements, the COVID-19 pandemic has had no significant impact on the payment default rates of our students. We continue to support our students by providing special payment arrangements. Furthermore, there have been no significant impacts on our financial performance and position of assets and there have been no significant changes in our financial condition triggering impairment indicators in these financial statements.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving, and the Brazilian authorities may maintain a lockdown of our on-campus activities for a longer or undefined extended of period of time or impose a more severe lockdown, among other measures, all of which are outside of our control and may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations including the resumption of on-campus practical classes.

We may also suffer labor shortages, particularly of our teaching faculty, which is mostly comprised of doctors that continue to have work shifts at hospitals and are consequently more exposed to COVID-19 than non-medical administrative staff. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic is expect to cause a material and adverse effect on the general economic, financial, political, demographic and business conditions in Brazil, which may reduce the disposable income of our students and their families, and consequently (i) result in an adverse impact on the ability of our students (current and/or prospective) to pay our tuition fees and/or (ii) trigger an increase in our attrition rates.

 

While we are aware of the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain confident in our strategy, in the financial robustness of our business and in our contribution of high quality medical professionals who we believe will help our society overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and other future challenges.

The Company consolidates the financial information for all entities it controls. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and it ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries in order to bring their accounting policies in line with the Company’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income.

 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of changes in equity.

 

3.Segment information

 

During the first quarter of 2021, in connection with the recent acquisitions of digital and technology companies, the Company revised its operating segments. As result, the Company has three operating segments as opposed to the previously reported Business Unit 1 (educational services through undergraduate and graduate courses related to medicine, other health sciences and other undergraduate programs) and Business Unit 2 (residency preparatory courses and medical post-graduate specialization programs, delivering printed and digital content, an online medical education platform).

Seasonality of operations

 

Undergrad´s and Continuing Education tuition revenues are related to the intake process and monthly tuition fees charged to students over the period thus the Company do not have significant fluctuations. On Digital Services, Medcel’ sales are concentrated in the first and last quarter of the year, as a result of enrollments of Medcel’s clients at the beginning of the year. The majority of Medcel’s revenues is derived from printed books and e-books, which are recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. All other Digital services do not present any significant seasonality. Consequently, Digital Services generally has higher revenues and results of operations in the first and last quarter of the year compared to the second and third quarters of the year.

(a) Acquisition of iClinic

 

 

On January 21, 2021, Afya Brazil acquired 100% of the share capital of iClinic (comprised by iClinic Participações, iClinic Desenvolvimento and Black River). The aggregate purchase price is R$191,120: (i) 62.6% was paid in cash, and (ii) 37.4% was settled with Afya's shares on the transaction closing date.

 

 

iClinic is a SaaS model physician focused technology company and the leading medical practice management software in Brazil. iClinic empower doctors to be more independent and have more control over their careers by digitalizing their daily routine, so they can increase their productivity and deliver better healthcare services. With the acquisition of iClinic to our platform, Afya will make another step to become the one stop shop for physicians in Brazil.

 

 

The acquisition of iClinic was accounted for under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations.

 

 

Transaction costs to date amount to R$856 and were expensed and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

 

 

At the acquisition date, the fair value of the trade receivables acquired equals its carrying amount. Afya Brazil measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the unfavorable terms of the lease relative to market terms.

The goodwill recognized includes the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, which is not separately recognized. Goodwill is allocated entirely to Digital Services segment. The preliminary goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income taxes purposes.

 

The Company has not yet finalized the valuation of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination of iClinic and therefore some of these amounts are preliminary. These amounts may be adjusted when the valuations are finalized.

 

The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of separately identified intangible assets acquired were as follows:

 

Intangible assets acquired Valuation technique
Trademark

Relief from royalty

This methodology is based on the market remuneration of the use license granted to third parties. The value of the asset is restated by the savings of royalties that the owner would have to own the asset. It is necessary to determine a royalty rate that reflects the appropriate remuneration of the asset. The royalty payments, net of taxes, are discounted to present value.

Customer relationships

Multi-period excess earnings method

The method considers the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated by customer relationships, by excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets.

Developed technology intangible assets

Replacement cost

This methodology is based on the estimated cost of replacing the referred asset with a new one (acquisition or reconstruction), adjusted to reflect the losses in value resulting from the physical deterioration and the functional and economic obsolescence of that asset.

 

From the date of acquisition, iClinic has contributed R$ 2,296 of net revenue and R$ 386 of loss before income taxes to the Company. Should the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period, net revenue for 2021 would have been increased by R$ 1,158 and income before income taxes for 2021 would have been decreased by R$ 1,320.

 

(b) Acquisition of Medicinae

 

On March 25, 2021, Afya Brazil acquired 100% of the total share capital of Medicinae, a leading Brazilian healthcare technology company that specializes in healthcare payments and financial services. The aggregate purchase price is R$ 5,600 of which 100% was paid in cash on the transaction closing date. An earn-out of up of R$ 4,400 is payable in connection with product development goals for 2021 and revenue achievements for 2022.

 

The acquisition will expand Afya’s digital health services, as it offers a unique financial platform that allows healthcare professionals all over Brazil to manage receivables in an efficient and scalable way using FIDC (Receivables Investment Fund).

Medicinae relieves a number of challenges in the healthcare payments industry, as reduces long payment cycles for professionals and consolidates financial information, improving the consumer financial experience.

 

The acquisition of Medicinae was accounted for under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations.

 

Transaction costs to date amount to R$117 and were expensed and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

 

At the acquisition date, the fair value of the trade receivables acquired equals its carrying amount.

 

The goodwill recognized includes the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, which is not separately recognized. Goodwill is allocated entirely to Digital Services segment. The preliminary goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income taxes purposes.

 

The Company has not yet finalized the valuation of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination of Medicinae and therefore some of these amounts are preliminary. These amounts may be adjusted when the valuations are finalized.

 

The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of separately identified intangible assets acquired were as follows:

 

Intangible assets acquired Valuation technique

Relief from royalty

 

This methodology is based on the market remuneration of the use license granted to third parties.

It is necessary to determine a royalty rate that reflects the appropriate remuneration of the asset. The royalty payments, net of taxes, are discounted to present value.

Developed technology intangible assets

Replacement cost

 

This methodology is based on the estimated cost of replacing the referred asset with a new one (acquisition or reconstruction), adjusted to reflect the losses in value resulting from the physical deterioration and the functional and economic obsolescence of that asset.

 

From the date of acquisition, Medicinae has not contributed with relevant net revenue and income (loss) before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the period, net revenue for 2020 would have been increased by R$ 105 and income before income taxes for 2020 would have been decreased by R$ 113.

    (unaudited)        
    Carrying amount   Fair value   Carrying amount   Fair value

Trade receivables (non-current)   10,874   10,874   7,627   7,627
Total   12,927   12,927   9,680   9,680
                 
Financial liabilities                
Loans and financing   620,928   638,557   617,485   637,723
Lease liabilities   466,204   466,204   447,703   447,703

The Company assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, current trade receivables and other current assets, trade payables, advances from customers and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

The fair value of interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using the DCF method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk at March 31, 2021 was assessed to be insignificant.

16Earnings per share (EPS)

 

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all potential shares with dilutive effects.

 

Diluted earnings per share are computed including stock options granted to key management using the treasury shares method when the effect is dilutive. The Company has the stock option plan in the category of potentially dilutive shares.

Reconciliation of income taxes expense

 

The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit (loss), calculated by applying the combined Brazilian statutory rates at 34% for the three-months periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

    March 31, 2021   March 31, 2020
    (unaudited)   (unaudited)
         
Income before income taxes   122,022   109,727
Combined statutory income taxes rate - %   34%   34%
Income taxes at statutory rates   (41,487)   (37,307)
Reconciliation adjustments:        
Tax effect on income from entities not subject to taxation   (4,699)   1,793
PROUNI - Fiscal Incentive (a)   48,160   31,803
Unrecognized deferred tax assets   (13,597)   (7,296)
Presumed profit income tax regime effect (b)   2,057   4,617
Permanent adjustments   (108)   -
Other   1,000   333
Income taxes expense – current   (8,674)   (6,057)
Effective rate   7.1%   5.6%

 

(a)      The Company adhered to PROUNI, established by Law 11,096 / 2005, which is a federal program that exempt companies of paying income taxes and social contribution.

(b)      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 income 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.

Deferred income taxes

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had unrecognized deferred income tax assets on temporary differences and tax losses in the amount of R$ 254,957 (tax-basis) (R$ 214,387 (tax-basis) as of December 31, 2020) which does not have any tax planning opportunities available that could support the recognition of these temporary differences as deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize deferred tax assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries have a risk management program with the purpose of delimiting the risks, seeking in the market coverage compatible with its size and operations.

 

b)   Legal proceedings and contingencies

 

The provisions related to labor and civil proceedings whose likelihood of loss is assessed as probable are as follows:

Balances as of March 31, 2021 (unaudited) 7,278   14,087   39,260   60,625

 

*The total amount of R$ 4,232 are related to legal proceedings attributed to the selling shareholders administration. The same amount was recorded as indemnification assets in the statement of financial position in other assets.

 

 

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

 

  March 31, 2021   December 31, 2020
  (unaudited)    
       
Labor 4,034   2,318
Civil 62,497   59,969
Taxes and social security 4,293   4,375
Total 70,824   66,662

 

The Company has judicial deposits recorded in other assets (non-current) in the amount of R$ 3,747 as of March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: R$ 1,451).

 

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.

Accordingly, and considering that the provisions for legal proceedings recorded by the Company 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.
