Six-month period ended June 30, 2025 

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(Amounts in thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

 

1.1. The Company

 

Vasta Platform Limited, together with its subsidiaries (the Company or Group) is a publicly held company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 16, 2019, with headquarters in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The Company is a technology-powered education content providing end-to-end educational and digital solutions that cater to all needs of private schools operating in the K-12 educational segment. Vasta’s fiscal year begins on January 1 of each year and ends on December 31 of the same year. 

 

The Company is a subsidiary of Cogna Educação S.A. (Cogna Educação S.A. and its subsidiaries defined as “Cogna Group”), and since July 31, 2020, VASTA Platform Limited. has been a publicly-held company registered with SEC (“The US Securities and Exchange Commission) and its shares are traded on Nasdaq Global Select Market under ticker symbol “VSTA”.

 

2. Basis of accounting

 

These Interim Financial Statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, have been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 – Interim Financial reporting – and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (‘last annual financial statements’). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

 

  

 

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2025 are presented in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), which is the Company functional currency. All financial information presented in R$ has been rounded to the nearest thousands, except as otherwise indicated.

 

(a)       Consolidation

 

    Interest
Company   June 30, 2025   December 31, 2024
Somos Sistemas de Ensino S.A. (“Somos Sistemas”)   100%   100%
Colégio Anglo São Paulo Ltda. (“Anglo São Paulo”)   100%   100%
MVP Consultoria e Sistemas Ltda. (“MVP”)   100%   100%
Sociedade Educacional da Lagoa Ltda (“SEL”)   100%   100%
EMME – Produções de Materiais em Multimídia Ltda (“EMME”)   100%   100%
Escola Start Ltda. (“Start”)   51%   51%

 

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Executive Board on August 06, 2025.

 

(b)       Associates

 

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but does not control or jointly control, the financial and operating policies.

 

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Such investments are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the

 

F-8

Vasta Platform Limited 

Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 

Six-month period ended June 30, 2025 

Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence ceases.

 

3. Use of estimates and judgements

 

In preparing the Interim Financial Statements, Management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of Company´s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

 

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

 

Those estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable and relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

 

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: 

 

Measurement of fair values

 

·Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

 

·Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

Where Level 1 inputs are not available, if needed, the Company engages third party qualified appraisers to perform the valuation using Level 2 and / or Level 3 inputs. The Company’s management establishes the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model, working closely with the qualified external advisors when they are engaged in such activities. 

 

The valuations of identifiable assets and contingent liabilities in business combinations could be particularly sensitive to changes in one or more unobservable inputs considered in the valuation process. Further information on the assumptions used in the valuation process of such items is provided in note 6.

 

4. Material accounting policies and new and not yet effective accounting standards

 

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all consolidated companies. There are no new accounting policies that could be applicable from January 1, 2025, or early adopted in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

5. Financial risk management

 

The Company has a risk management policy for monitoring and managing the nature and overall position of financial risks and to assess its financial results and impacts on its cash flows. Counterparty credit limits are also reviewed periodically or whenever the Company identifies significant changes in financial risk.

 

F-9

Vasta Platform Limited 

Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 

Six-month period ended June 30, 2025 

The economic and financial risks reflect the behavior of macroeconomic variables such as interest rates as well as other characteristics of the financial instruments maintained by the Company. These risks are managed through control and monitoring policies, specific strategies, and limits.

 

a.Financial risk factors

 

The Company’s activities expose it to certain financial risks mainly related to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Management and the Group’s Board of Directors monitor such risks in line with their capital management policy objectives.

 

This Note presents information on the Company’s exposure to each of the risks above, the objectives of the Company, measurement policies, and the Company’s risk and capital management process. The Company has no derivative transactions.

 

a.Market risk – cash flow interest rate risk

 

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company incurs losses because of interest rate fluctuations that increase finance costs related to bonds raised in the market and obligations for acquisitions from third parties payable in installments. The Company continuously monitors market interest rates in order to assess the need to contract financial instruments to hedge against volatility of these rates. Additionally, financial assets also indexed to CDI and IPCA (broad consumer price index) partially mitigate any interest rate exposures. Interest rates contracted are as follows:

 

  June 30, 2025   December 31, 2024   Interest rate
Bonds          
  Private bonds – 9th issuance – series 2 264,151    261,634   CDI + 2.40% p.a.
  Private bonds – 10th Issuance – series 2 506,338   500,371   CDI + 1.35% p.a. and CDI + 1.60% p.a.
Lease liabilities 107,778    111,373   IPCA
Accounts payable for business combination 462,034    436,600   100% CDI

b.Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from the potential default of a counterparty on an agreement or financial instrument, resulting in financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk in its operating activities (mainly in connection with trade receivables), financial activities that include reverse factoring deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and other contracted financial instruments.

 

The Company mitigates its exposure to credit risks associated with financial instruments, deposits in banks and short-term investments by investing in prime financial institutions and in accordance with limits previously set in the Company’s policy. See notes 7 and 8.

 

To mitigate risks associated with trade receivables, the Company adopts a sales policy and an analysis of the financial and equity condition of its counterparties. The sales policy is directly associated with the level of credit risk the Company is willing to accept in the normal course of its business.

 

The diversification of its receivable’s portfolio, the selectivity of its customers, as well as the monitoring of sales financing terms and individual position limits are procedures adopted to minimize defaults or losses in the realization of trade receivables. Thus, the Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

 

Furthermore, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of its trade receivables at the end of each reporting period to ensure that expected credit losses have been recorded. See note 9.

c.Liquidity risk

 

To cover possible liquidity deficiencies or mismatches between cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt and financial obligations, the Company continues to operate with reverse factoring if this credit line is offered by banks and accepted by Company suppliers. This is the risk of the Company not having enough funds and or bank credit limits to meet its short-term financial commitments, due to mismatching terms in expected receipts and payments.

 

The Company continuously monitors its cash balance and indebtedness level and implemented measures to allow access to the capital markets, when necessary. It also endeavors to assure they remain within existing credit limits. Management also monitors projected and actual cash flows and the combination of the maturity profiles of the financial assets, liabilities and takes into consideration its debt financing plans, covenant compliance, internal liquidity targets and, if applicable, regulatory requirements.

 

The table below presents the maturity of the Company’s financial liabilities.

Capital management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure of the Company, management can make or may propose to the shareholders when their approval is required, adjustments to the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce, for example, debt. 

 

The Company monitors capital based on the gearing ratio. This ratio corresponds to the net debt expressed as a

 

F-11

percentage of total capitalization. Net debt comprises financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. Total capitalization is calculated as shareholders’ equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

 

The Company’s main capital management objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, optimize returns, allow consistency of operations to other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure reducing financial costs and maximizing the returns. In addition, the Company monitors financial leverage adequacy, and mitigates risks that may affect the availability of capital for Company development.

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used:

 

Entities   Valuation technique   Significant unobservable inputs   Inter-relationship between
key unobservable inputs and
fair value measurement
             
Phidelis   Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the operation (net revenue).   1. The achievement of financial targets are linked to net revenue until 2027.
2.Revenue: we consider for the revenue projection the continuity of old contracts and new contracts with average annual revenue growth of 21.1%.
 

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:

- Any product is no longer monetized (lower)


- The risk-adjusted discount rates were lower (higher)

Goodwill impairment test

 

The Company performs its annual impairment test in December and whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company’s impairment test for goodwill is assessed by comparing it carrying amount with its recoverable amount. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash generating units were disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

There were no indications of impairment for six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

23. Shareholder’s equity

 

23.1. Share capital

 

The Company holds Class A shares in addition to Class B shares (owned by Cogna).

 

On September 14, 2023, the Company announced a share repurchase program, approved by our board of directors considering that it was in the commercial interests of the Company to enter the Repurchase Plan. Under the repurchase program, we were entitled to repurchase up to R$ 62,500 (or US$12,500) in Class A common shares in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, over a period that began on September 18, 2023, continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase. On March 31, 2024, the program was concluded with the repurchase of all shares.

 

As a result, the Company's share capital outstanding on June 30, 2025, which excludes a total of 3,339,118 treasury shares, totals 80,310,769 shares, in amount of R$ 4,820,815, of which 64,436,093 Class B shares are owned by the Cogna Group and 15,874,676 are owned by third parties.

 

The Company’s Shareholders Agreement authorizes the board of directors to grant restricted share units to certain executives and employees and other service providers with respect to up to 3% (three per cent) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Thus, on June 30, 2025 the Company has the following position in Class A and B shares:

 

    Class A Shares (units)   Class B Shares (units)   Total
    Free float   Treasury shares (note 23.4)        
December 31,2024   15,765,930   3,447,864   64,436,093   83,649,887

The Company’s shareholders on June 30, 2025 are as follows:

 

  In units
Company Shareholders Class A   Class B   Total
Cogna Group -   64,436,093         64,436,093
Free Float 15,874,676   -   15,874,676
Treasury shares (Note 23.4) 3,339,118   -   3,339,118
Total (%) 23%   77%   83,649,887

 

23.2. Loss per share

 

The basic loss per share is measured by dividing the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year. The Company considers as diluted earnings per share the number of common shares calculated added by the weighted average number of common shares that should be issued upon conversion of all potentially dilutive shares into common shares; potentially dilutive shares were deemed to have been converted into common shares at the beginning of the period.

23.3. Capital reserve - Share-based compensation (granted)

 

The Company as of June 30, 2025 had two share-based compensation plans:

 

a)Long Term Investment – (“ILP”) – Refers to several tranches granted, being the first issued on July 23, 2020 and the last on October, 2th, 2023. The Company compensates part of its employees and management. This plan will grant up to 3% of the Company’s class A share units. The Company will grant the limit of five tranches approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The fair value of share units is measured at fair value quoted on the grant date. The plan has a vesting period corresponding to 5 years added by expected volatility of 30% and will be settled with Company’s shares. All taxes and contributions are paid by the Company without additional costs to employees and management. This program should be wholly settled with the delivery of the shares. The effect of events on share-based compensation in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss for the period ended June 30, 2025 was R$ 2,996, being R$ 1,720 in Shareholder’s the Equity and R$1,276 as labor charges in liabilities, due to share price fluctuation (R$  3,066 being R$ 3,619 in Shareholder’s the Equity and a debit of R$ 553 as labor charges in liabilities for the period ended June 30, 2024).

 

b)Long Term Investment – (“ILP”) – Performance Shares Units (PSU) – On August, 2023, the Board of Directors has approved a new long-term incentive plan (ILP), based on meeting certain targets, with granting in 2023 and 2025, and vesting in 2026, 2027 and 2028, that generated dilution of 1.75% in Vasta shares. The effect of events on share-based compensation in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss for the period ended June 30, 2025 was R$ 3,548, being R$ 1,568 in Shareholder’s the Equity and R$ 1,980 as labor charges in liabilities, due to share price fluctuation (R$ 2,905 being R$ 2,184 in Shareholder’s Equity and R$ 721 as labor charges in liabilities, for the period ended June 30, 2024).

 

Considering the shared based compensation vested and granted throughout 2024, the amount of capital reserve on June 30, 2025 total R$90,914 (R$90,909 on December 31, 2024).

 

23.4. Treasury shares

a.Seasonality

 

The Company’s revenue is subject to seasonality since the main deliveries of printed materials and digital materials to customers occur in the last quarter of each year (typically in November and December), and in the first quarter of each subsequent year (typically in February and March), and revenue is recognized when the customers obtain control over the materials. In addition, the printed and digital materials delivered in the fourth quarter are used by customers in the following school year and, therefore, fourth quarter results reflect the growth in the number of students from one school year to the next, leading to higher revenue in general in the fourth quarter compared with the preceding quarters in each year. Consequently, on aggregate, the seasonality of revenue generally produces higher revenue in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. In addition, the Company generally bills its customers during the first half of each school year (which starts in January), which generally results in a higher cash position in the first half of each year compared to the second half. A significant part of the Company’s expenses is also seasonal. Due to the nature of the business cycle, the Company needs significant working capital, typically in September or October of each year, in order to cover costs related to production and inventory accumulation, selling and marketing expenses, and delivery of the teaching materials at the end of each year in preparation for the beginning of each school year. As a result, these operating expenses are generally incurred between September and December of each year.
