1Corporate 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 reflects the operations of Afya Brazil after the corporate reorganization. The Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) on July 19, 2019, and its shares are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AFYA.”

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. In non-regulated education, Afya provides services that comprise the development and sale of electronically distributed educational courses on medicine science, related printed and soft skills educational content. The Company also offers solutions to empower the physicians in their daily routine including supporting clinic decisions through mobile app subscription, delivering practice management tools through a SaaS (“Software as a Service”) model and supporting the patient-physician relationship.

 

On February 23, 2022, Afya announced that the Secretary of Regulation and Supervision of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education (“MEC”) authorized the operations of the medical schools in Abaetetuba, in the State of Pará, and Itacoatiara, in the State of Amazonas, both under Mais Médicos II program. With the authorizations, Afya reaches its third and fourth authorized schools to start operating under the Mais Medicos II program. Each medical school will contribute with 50 seats.

 

On March 16, 2022, MEC authorized the operations of the medical schools in Bragança, in the State of Pará, and Manacapuru, in the State of Amazonas, both under Mais Médicos II program. With the authorizations, Afya reaches its fifth and sixth authorized schools to start operating under the Mais Medicos II program. Each medical school will contribute with 50 seats.

 

On March 18, 2022, Afya announced that MEC authorized the increase of 28 seats of Centro Universitário São Lucas, in Ji-Parana located in the state of Rondônia. The earn-out related to the seats approval is R$800 per seat, adjusted by the CDI rate from the closing until the payment date, of which: (i) 50% was paid in April 2022, and (ii) 50% is payable in cash in two equal installments through 2024.

 

Acquisitions in 2022

 

(i) On March 4, 2022, Afya Brazil acquired BMV Atividades Médicas Ltda. (“Além da Medicina”). Além da Medicina is a medical content online platform for physicians and medical students that provides educational tools besides technical medical content that can assist them throughout their careers. Its contents include mentoring for residency, soft skills and finance, accounting, and investment basics for physicians. See Note 4.

 

(ii) On April 5, 2022, Afya Brazil acquired Cardiopapers Soluções Digitais Ltda. (“CardioPapers”). CardioPapers is the main medical content and education platform in the Cardiology field, offering courses and books developed by physicians and for physicians, covering all phases of the medical career, aligned with Afya's overall business strategy. See Note 4.

See Note 4.

 

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. By the date of issuance of these interim financial statements all of the lockdown restrictions have been revoked by Brazilian authorities in our campus locations and the Company has also successfully retaken all of its practical classes in medicines courses and all of its classroom classes.

 

During 2020, some of the Brazilian states had issued decrees granting discounts to our students because of COVID-19. These mandatory discounts have been suspended as their constitutionality has been challenged in the superior courts.

 

On November 18, 2021, the Brazilian Federal Court of Justice (STF) decided, by the majority of the votes, that any lawsuit with decisions to apply linear discounts in monthly tuition fees for private universities with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic are unconstitutional. Therefore, the Company shall not apply linear discounts on any active monthly tuition fees that are related to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Regarding the discounts granted by the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is charging back the students as final legal decisions were given by the Brazilian Federal Court of Justice.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company has invoiced R$21,062 from previous periods, net of discounts granted due to COVID-19, being the amount substantially arising from its subsidiary FCMPB, following a lower court decision that suspended the granted discounts in favor of the Company (R$ 25,933 discounts granted, net of discounts recovered, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021). The outstanding balances are classified in accounts receivables.

Conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

 

As a result of the current geopolitical tensions and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the recent recognition by Russia of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the governments of the United States, the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have recently announced the imposition of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia, Belarus and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any counter responses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, the global supply chain, with negative implications on the availability of raw materials, energy prices, and our customers, as well as the local and global financial markets and financial services industry and the global economy in general.

 

As of the date of these interim financial statements, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not brought significant impact over Afya’s operations and results

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Expressed in thousands of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated

  

The financial information of the acquired subsidiaries is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective acquisition dates.

 

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.

 

 

3Segment information

 

The Company has three reportable segments as follows:

 

• Undergrad, which provides educational services through undergraduate courses related to medicine, other health sciences and other undergraduate programs;

 

• Continuing Education, which provides specialization programs and graduate courses in medicine; and

 

• Digital Services, which provides content and technology for medical education, clinical decisions software, practice management tools and electronic medical records, doctor-patient relationship, telemedicine and digital prescription for physicians and provides access and demand and efficiency for the healthcare players.

 

Segment information is presented consistently with the internal reports provided to the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), which is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and is responsible for allocating resources, assessing the performance of the Company's operating segments, and making the Company's strategic decisions.

 

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments. There is only one geographic region and the results are monitored and evaluated as a single business.

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 does not have significant fluctuations during the semester.

 

Digital Services is comprised mostly by Medcel, Pebmed and iClinic revenues. While Pebmed and iClinic do not have significant fluctuation regarding seasonality, Medcel revenues are concentrated in the first and last quarter of the year, as a result of enrollments of Medcel’s clients. The majority of Medcel’s revenues is derived from printed books, which are recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. The remaining digital services revenue is recognized over time. Consequently, Digital Services segment generally has higher revenues and results of operations in the first and last quarters of the year compared to the second and third quarters of the year.

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.

Educational content

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.

Total 2,846,063 2,852,319 2,841,513 2,853,773

 

The Company assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, 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 of the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk at September 30, 2022 was assessed to be insignificant.

 

12.4Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies

12.4.2Credit risk

 

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

 

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on the established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. See Note 6 for additional information on the Company’s trade receivables.

 

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

 

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statements of financial position on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is the carrying amounts of its financial assets.

 

12.4.3Liquidity risk

 

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

 

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

 

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

14Capital management

 

For the purposes of the Company’s capital management, capital considers total equity. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximize the shareholder value.

 

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.

 

15Labor and social obligations

 

a) Variable compensation (bonuses)

 

The Company recorded bonuses related to variable compensation of employees and management in cost of services and general and administrative expenses of R$18,571 and R$19,352 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

b) Afya Limited share-based compensation plans

 

b.1) Stock options plan

 

The stock options plan approved on August 30, 2019, granted to senior executives and other employees of the Company, as a result of the IPO will govern the issuance of equity incentive awards with respect to Company’s Class A common shares. The fair value of the stock options was estimated at the grant date using the Binomial pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the stock options were granted. The Company accounts for the stock options plan as an equity-settled plan.

 

On July 29, 2020, the board of directors approved a change in the strike price of the current share-based compensation plan. The strike price is now measured in Brazilian Reais (where the Company’s operations are located and valuated) adjusted by CDI rate instead of U.S. dollar adjusted by T-Bond. Furthermore, the first tranche had its vesting period extended from May 2020 to May 2021, including one year lock-up period after the vesting period. This change was assessed as a modification by the Company and was accounted in accordance with IFRS 2.

 

On July 8, 2022, the People and ESG Committee approved a change in the strike price of the current share-based compensation plan. All the tranches still to be vested had their strike price modified to the IPO price in Brazilian Reais (R$71.22), adjusted from the IPO date until the exercise date using the Certificado de Depósito Interbancário (CDI index), excluding dividends. The already vested tranches will remain on the previous settled strike price. This change was assessed as a modification by the Company and accounted in accordance with IFRS 2.

 

As result of those modifications, the expense related to the share-based payment of the Company reflects the cost of the original award at grant date over the vesting period plus the incremental fair value of the repriced options at modification date over the vesting period of the options.

17Earnings 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 and restricted share unit plans in the category of potentially dilutive shares.

According to Brazilian tax legislation, income taxes and social contribution are assessed and paid by legal entity and not on a consolidated basis.

(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 September 30, 2022, the Company had accumulated unrecognized deferred income tax assets on temporary differences and tax losses in the amount of R$688,028 (tax-basis) (R$ 432,226 (tax-basis) as of December 31, 2021) 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.

 

22Insurance contracts and contingencies

 

a) Insurance contracts

 

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, civil and taxes proceedings whose likelihood of loss is assessed as probable are as follows:

 

  Labor Civil Taxes (i) Total

Business combinations 16,597 6,017 57,638 80,252
Additions 1,441 3,509 9,957 14,907

(i) During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, R$48,333 of tax contingencies added with a corresponding increase of goodwill (Unigranrio as disclosed in note 11) and indemnification 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:

The Company has judicial deposits, related to taxes, civil and labor proceedings, recorded in other assets (non-current) in the amount of R$14,253 as of September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021: R$ 18,825).

 

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. In this context, the Agreements state that the Company and its subsidiaries are indemnified and therefore exempt from any liability related to said contingent liabilities and, therefore, the provision amounts related to such contingencies are presented in the non-current liabilities and the correspondent amount of R$153,863 (December 31, 2021: R$ 135,355) is presented in non-current other assets.

 

 

23Non-cash transactions

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company carried out non-cash transactions which are not reflected in the statement of cash flows. The main non-cash transactions in 2021 were the issuance of shares for the acquisition of iClinic and Cliquefarma, addition of the provision for legal proceedings with corresponding indemnification assets, additions and remeasurements of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The main non-cash transactions in 2022 were the addition of the provision for legal proceedings with corresponding indemnification assets and goodwill, additions and remeasurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Acquisition of UNIT Alagoas and FITS Jaboatão dos Guararapes

 

On October 13, 2022, Afya Brazil announced the acquisition of 100% of the total share capital of Sociedade Educacional e Cultural Sergipe DelRey Ltda. (“DelRey”), which encompasses the operations of Centro Universitário Tiradentes Alagoas (“UNIT Alagoas”) and Faculdade Tiradentes Jaboatão dos Guararapes (“FITS Jaboatão dos Guararapes”). The transaction does not enclose the “UNIT” and “FITS” brands, which will be licensed for Afya during the first year of operation.

 

The aggregate purchase price was R$825,000 before the deduction of Net Debt that will be calculated at the closing date. It will be paid as follows: R$575,000 in cash on the transaction closing date and R$250,000 in three annual installments, respectively, of R$150,000, R$50,000, and R$50,000, adjusted by the Brazilian interest rate (SELIC).

 

There is a contingent payment related to 84 additional seats subject to approval. If the Ministry of Education approves those seats until December 31, 2024, it will result in a potential additional payment of R$1,250 per seat in UNIT Alagoas. The additional payment will be adjusted by the Brazilian inflation rate (IPCA) between the closing date and the date of its effective payment.

The acquisition date fair value of each major class of consideration, including the allocation of the purchase price has not been completed by the Company as of the issuance date of these interim financial statements. The impact on revenue and profit or loss of the combined entity for the current reporting period as if the acquisition date had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period is not available as the Company did not conclude this acquisition since the precedent conditions for completion of the transaction have not yet been met. Therefore, these interim financial statements do not include this information. The transaction costs to date amounted to R$828. Any goodwill generated in the transaction is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
