(i)Refers to intangible assets written-off as result of lack of expectation of future use.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives

 

Licenses with indefinite useful life include intangible assets acquired through business combinations and asset acquisitions. The licenses for medicine and other courses granted by MEC have no expiration date and the Company has determined that these assets have indefinite useful lives.

 

For impairment testing goodwill and licenses with indefinite useful lives are allocated to the respective CGUs.

 

The Company performed its annual impairment test on December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. There was no impairment for goodwill and licenses with indefinite useful lives for the years then ended.

 

The Company tests at least annually the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill and licenses with indefinite useful lives for each CGU. The Company determines the recoverable amount of its CGUs based on the value-in-use. Estimating these values involves the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates of future cash flows that represent the Company's best estimate.

 

The carrying amounts of goodwill and licenses with indefinite useful life by CGU and their carrying amount as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

(i)For the year ended December 31, 2025, the companies included in former Pillar 1 (Medcel, Além da Medicina, CardioPapers and Medical Harbour) where grouped together with IPEMED to constitute the Continuing education CGU. The companies included in former Pillar 2 (PEBMED) and former Pilar 3 (iClinic, Medicinae, Shosp and RX Pro) where grouped together with Glic and Cliquefarma to constitute the Medical practice solutions CGU. As a result, the prior period was revised for comparative purposes. The grouping of these companies into a unified CGU reflects the economic reality of their business and is consistent with the Company’s integrated operational model. This classification also represents how operations are internally monitored.

 

The key assumptions used by the Company to determine the value in use of the CGUs were:

 

     
Key assumption Description 2025 2024
Discount rates Represent the current market assessment of the specific risks associated to the CGUs, estimated based on information from both internal and external sources, including the Company’s and third parties historical weighted-average cost of capital (WACC). Pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections: between 10.82% and 11.73%. Pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections: between 11.66% and 13.97%.
Perpetuity growth rate Cash flow projections include specific estimates for a five-year period followed by a terminal growth rate, determined based on management's internal estimate of the long-term compound annual growth rate (CAGR), consistent with the assumptions that would be made by a market participant. From 3.5% to 9.50%. From 3.5% to 7.53%.
EBITDA[1] growth rate (annual average for the next five years)

EBITDA growth rate was estimated using historical performance as a baseline, adjusted for:

- Expected revenue growth, driven by increases in both sales volume and pricing.

- Expected margin expansion, which reflects operational efficiencies and scale economies as volumes increase, partially offset by projected increases in costs.

6.88% 5.69%

 

Sensitivity analysis: impacts of possible changes in key assumptions

 

An increase of 25 basis points in management’s estimated discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of each CGU for the year ended December 31, 2025, or a decrease of 25 basis points on perpetuity growth rate or EBITDA growth rate would not have significant impacts on Company’s impairment testing.

 

Impairment testing of other intangible assets

 

There were no impairment indicatives of intangible assets with finite useful lives as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
