Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the management

Cesumar - Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Cesumar – Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to the financial statements

1.1

Operations

Cesumar - Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda. (the "Entity") is a limited liability entity headquartered in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná - Brazil.

In addition to its head office, the Entity has three other campuses in the following cities of the State of Paraná: Curitiba, Ponta Grossa, Londrina and one other campus in Corumbá-Mato Grosso do Sul. The Entity also has a presence all over Brazil through distance learning (EAD) units, with 1,030 units (2020 - 734) (unaudited).

The Entity is primarily engaged in the provision of educational, cultural, scientific and social services, at several educational levels, through the offering of graduation, extension and specialization courses for people in public and private enterprises.

The issue of these financial statements was authorized by the Entity's Executive Board on March 31, 2022.

Purpose of financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared for inclusion in VITRU Limited's Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation SX under the Securities Act ("Rule 3-05").

1.2

Corporate change

On August 23, 2021, the Institution's quota holders entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of quotas with VITRU Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio S.A. (Vitru) for the sale of 100% of the Entity's share capital to Vitru. This transaction is subject to compliance with the conditions precedent provided for the aforementioned instrument and the approval of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE).

1.3

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and disclose all (and only) the applicable significant information related to the financial statements, which is consistent with the information utilized by management in the performance of its duties.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.

1.4

COVID-19 impacts

The Entity has been monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Entity has been following the decisions of the WHO and the guidance of the Ministry of Health and decisions of the State and Municipal governments, and, since March 2, 2020, has been adopting measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to safeguard the health and interests of all the parties involved in the activities of the institution and preserve business continuity.

As regards onsite teaching, from March 20, 2020 the Entity's onsite undergraduate and graduate education activities were replaced by remote activities through the digital platform "Studeo", to ensure the learning process of students, without affecting the completion of the activities of the semester. The 2021 school year began on February 15 and classes returned in a hybrid form; a different group of students have onsite classes each week, and the other students have classes via the digital platform.

The Entity's distance learning activities were not impacted, and onsite tests were replaced by online tests. The new enrollment and re-enrollment processes continue as usual, with no initial impact on the recognition of revenue of enrolled students.

As to the Entity's administrative activities, it adopted measures such as the change from onsite work to remote work from March 23, 2020, for positions that permit this type of system. There is no estimated date for the return of employees to onsite classes. Therefore, no relevant impacts related to this topic were identified in the Entity's financial statements.

Despite the circumstances imposed by Covid-19, the Entity reported a profit before taxes for the year ended December 2021 of R$218,465, 10% higher if compared to the same period of 2020, due to the increase in the number of students by 11%, mainly from EAD. The default rate averaged 16.86%, increasing by 2.8% compared to the same period last year (16.40% in 2020), the variation is attributed to the effects and prolongation of the pandemic situation.

2.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied in the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1

Functional and presentation currency

The items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Entity operates ("the functional currency").

The financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (R$), which is the Entity's functional and presentation currency.

2.2

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term highly liquid bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, and with immaterial risk of change in value.

2.3

Financial assets

2.3.1

Classification

The Entity classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

Measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

2.3.2

Recognition and derecognition

Purchases and sales of financial assets, when applicable, are recognized on the trade date, that is, the date on which the Entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

2.3.3

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Entity measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Subsequent measurements of financial assets depend on the Entity's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are measurement categories into which the Entity classifies its financial assets:

Amortized cost: Assets that are held for receipt of the contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other net operating income. Impairment losses are presented as selling expenses in the statement of income.

2.3.4

Impairment of financial assets

The Entity assesses on a prospective basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss.

For trade receivables, the Entity applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

2.4

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due for onsite and online higher education services rendered in the ordinary course of the Entity's business. If receipt is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

1-8


Cesumar – Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda.

Notes to the financial statements
at December 31, 2021

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment of trade receivables.

2.5

Advances

Advances are amounts due to cash advances made for suppliers, employees and hub partners. A hub is a local operating unit and has the responsibility for offering to students the necessary structure in terms of audiovisual resources, library and information technology, to support the distance learning courses.

Advances represent amounts advanced to hub partner so that they can generate initial cash, develop the first customer portfolio and invest in media for the promotion of the unit. These amounts will be reimbursed by hub partner on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms stipulated in the contract, through the provision of services.

Advances are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment of Advances.

2.6

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less completion costs and selling expenses.

2.7

Non-current assets held for sale and distribution to owners

Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale or distribution to owners when their carrying amount is to be recovered mainly through a sale transaction or distribution and a transaction is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

2.8

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the items. Historical cost includes finance costs related to the acquisition of qualifying assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these costs will flow to the Entity and they can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced items or parts is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to reduce their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Years

Buildings, facilities and improvements

50

Furniture fittings and tools

10

Machinery and equipment

5 - 10

Vehicles

Notes to the financial statements
at December 31, 2021

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

The asset's useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset's carrying amount is immediately written down to the recoverable amount when it exceeds that amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the amounts of sales with the carrying amounts and are recognized within "Other operating income, net" in the statement of income.

2.9

Intangible assets

Software

Computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to purchase and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software (three to five years).

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Entity are recognized as intangible assets.

2.10

Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (Cash-generating units (CGUs)).

For assets subjected to amortization, the Entity assessed the existence of indications of impairment for the period and did not identify any.

2.11

Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due in one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

2.12

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the total amount payable is recognized in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.

at December 31, 2021

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Both general and specific borrowing costs directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that requires a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Entity and the costs can be measured reliably. The other borrowing costs are recognized as finance costs in the period in which they are incurred.

2.13

Provisions

Provisions for legal claims are recognized when: (i) the Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the amount can be reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

2.14

Capital

Capital quotas are classified in equity.

2.15

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of undergraduate and graduate teaching services in the ordinary course of the Entity's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

(a)

Net revenue from teaching services

Revenues include monthly tuition fees for undergraduate and graduate courses, monthly tuition fees for extension courses and certifications, in addition to charges and other services.

Revenues from teaching services are recognized over time when services are rendered to the customer and the Entity satisfies its performance obligation under the contract at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Revenues from teaching services are recognized net of scholarships from government programs, cancelations and other discounts, refunds and taxes.

(b)

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, using the effective interest rate method.

Interest income on financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the statement of income as part of interest income.

(c)

Joint operations with hub partners

A hub is a local operating unit owned by third parties (hub partners) and has the responsibility for offering to students the necessary structure in terms of audiovisual resources, library and information technology, to support the distance learning courses.

The contractual agreement between the Entity and each hub partner is a joint operation and establishes the rights of each hub partner on the related revenues and obligations for the related expenses. In this sense, the revenue from distance learning and related accounts receivable are recognized only to the portion of the Company's right to the jointly revenue. As a result, when the Company receives the student's monthly tuition fee in whole, an obligation to the hub partner is accrued under trade payables.

2.16

Taxation

(a)

Current income tax and social contribution

The income tax and social contribution benefit or expense for the period comprise current taxes. Taxes on profit are recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity. In such cases, the taxes are also recognized in equity. For institutions that are enrolled in the University for All Program (PROUNI), the undergraduate teaching activities are subject to exemption, for the period of the enrollment contract, as regards Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL).

(b)

University for All Program (PROUNI)

The Entity is enrolled in PROUNI and therefore is exempt, from the following federal taxes:

IRPJ and CSLL, established by Law 7,689 of December 15, 1988;
Social Contribution on Revenues (COFINS), established by Complementary Law 70 of December 30, 1991; and,
Social Integration Program (PIS), established by Complementary Law 7 of September 07, 1970.

The ProUni program benefit for income taxes is based on a fixed percentage of approved scholarships granted by the federal government to students upon each student's request and is deducted from tuition gross revenue during the entire duration of such student's undergraduate studies (regardless of the tuition fee set out in the service contract) and as long as the student continues to comply with the scholarship requirements imposed by the government for each semester during the undergraduate course. The Company recognizes the economic benefits from the ProUni scholarships as tax deductions, as applicable. The regulation of PROUNI defines that the revenue from traditional and technological under-graduation courses are exempt from PIS and COFINS.

(c)

PIS and COFINS

Revenues from teaching activities, except for undergraduate activities due to the enrollment in PROUNI, are subject to PIS and COFINS at the rates of 0.65% and 3.00%, respectively.

(d)

Municipal Scholarship Program (PROMUBE)

The Municipal Scholarship Program (PROMUBE) was established by the Municipal Government of Maringá, through Municipal Law 7,359/2006, and aims to grant full and partial (50%) scholarships for students of specific undergraduate or sequential courses in private higher education institutions of Maringá that are enrolled in PROMUBE, pursuant to the legislation that regulates the program.

Management understands that the number of scholarships offered is in accordance with the rules of the Scholarship Program and has been deducting from its obligations related to the Services Tax (ISSQN) the benefits of joining this program. The Entity obtained a reduction in the ISS payable of R$ 12,082 in 2021 (R$ 9,280 in 2020).

(e)

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred taxes are not accounted for if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences and/or tax losses can be utilized. In accordance with the Brazilian tax legislation, loss carryforwards can be used to offset up to 30% of taxable profit for the year and do not expire.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right and the intention to offset them upon the calculation of current taxes, generally when related to the same legal entity and the same jurisdiction.

2.17

Leases

The Entity leases commercial buildings to its own distance learning units and logistics warehouses. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of one to five years.

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis. Lease contracts do not include restrictive covenants. However, the related leased assets must not be given as guarantees for borrowings.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured at present value, using the implicit lease rate or an incremental rate.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate;
amounts expected to be paid by the lessee, according to the residual value guarantees;
payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising the option to terminate the lease.

Notes to the financial statements
at December 31, 2021

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment and with similar terms and conditions.

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Entity:

where possible, uses recent third-party financing received as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since the third-party financing was received;
uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Entity, which does not have recent third party financing; and
makes adjustments specific to the rate, such as term, country, currency, and security.

The Entity is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between the principal and finance cost. Finance costs are charged to the statement of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost according to the following items:

the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
any initial direct costs; and
restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term, on a straight-line basis. If the Entity is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

2.18

Profit distribution

Because the articles of incorporation do not establish minimum levels and/or rules for profit distribution, it only requires the approval of the partners. The profits paid to the Entity's partners are recognized as deductions from retained earnings at the time of distribution.

2.19

Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand reais, unless otherwise stated.

2.20

Joint arrangements

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Entity has only joint operations.

Joint operations

The Entity recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint operations are set out in Note 2.15 (c).

2.21

Amendments to new standards that are not yet effective

The following amendments to new standards were issued by the IASB but are not effective for 2021. The early adoption of standards, even though encouraged by the IASB, has not been implemented in Brazil by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC).

Amendment to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment": in May 2020, IASB issued an amendment prohibiting an entity from deducting from the cost of the property, plant and equipment the amounts received from the sale of items produced while the asset is being prepared for its intended use. These revenues and related costs must be recognized in profit or loss. The effective date to apply this amendment is January 1, 2022.
Amendment to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets": in May 2020, IASB issued this amendment to clarify that, to assess if a contract is onerous, the cost for the performance of a contract includes the incremental fulfillment costs of this contract and an allocation of other costs directly related to its fulfillment. The effective date to apply this amendment is January 1, 2022.
Amendment to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations": issued in May 2020 with the objective of replacing the references of the former version of the conceptual framework with the most recent version. The amendment to IFRS 3 will be effective as from January 1, 2022.
Annual Improvements - 2018-2020 Cycle: in May 2020, IASB issued the following amendments as part of the annual improvement process, applicable as from January 1, 2022:
(i) IFRS 9 - "Financial Instruments" - clarifies which rates should be included in the 10% test for the derecognition of financial liabilities.
(ii) IFRS 16 - "Leases" - amendment of example 13 to exclude the example of lessor payments related to leasehold improvements.
(iii) IFRS 1 - "First-time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards" - simplifies the application of this standard by a subsidiary that adopts IFRS for the first time after its parent company, in relation to the measurement of the accumulated amount of foreign exchange variations. IAS 41 - "Biological Assets" - removal of the requirement to exclude cash flows from taxation when measuring the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce, thus aligning the fair value measurement requirements in IAS 41 with those of other IFRS standards.

Amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current: this amendment clarify that liabilities are either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date (e.g. the receipt of a waver or a breach of covenant). The amendment also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the 'settlement' of a liability. The amendment to IAS 1 will be effective as from January 1, 2023.
Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IFRS Practice Statements 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies: the IASB amended IAS 1 to require entities to disclose their material rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments define what is 'material accounting policy information' and explain how to identify when accounting policy information is material. They further clarify that immaterial accounting policy information does not need to be disclosed. If it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting information. To support this amendment, the IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The amendment to IAS 1 will be effective as January 1, 2023.
Amendment to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors": this amendment clarifies how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The distinction is important, because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events as well as the current period. The amendment to IAS 8 will be effective as January 1, 2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes": these amendments require companies to recognize deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deducible temporary differences. They will typically apply to transactions such as leases of lessees and decommissioning obligations and will require the recognition of additional deferred taxes and liabilities. These amendments to IAS 12 will be effective as January 1, 2023.

These changes will not have a material impact on the Entity.

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Entity's financial statements.

3.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Based on assumptions, the Entity makes estimates concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:

Notes to the financial statements

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

(a)

Provisions for civil, labor and tax risks

The Entity is a party to lawsuits at various levels. The provisions against potentially unfavorable outcomes of litigation in progress are established and updated based on management evaluation, as supported by external legal counsel, and require a high judgment level on the matters involved.

(b)

Incremental rate on lessee's borrowing

The incremental rate on the lessee's borrowing is the one that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the leased asset, with similar terms.

IFRS 16/CPC 06(R2) allows the incremental rate to be determined for a group of contracts, based on the validation that the grouped contracts share similar features. The incremental borrowing rate was measured taking into account the Entity's borrowing cost for real estate construction (object to which the lease contracts refer), which was (Long-Term Interest Rate) TJLP + 3%. The incremental rate established was 10.23% p.a. for contracts of up to 48 months; accordingly, the incremental rate used was the same for all lease contracts as none of the contracts in force, on the date of adoption, had a term that exceeded this period.

The Entity is not able to establish the implicit discount rate to be applied to its lease contracts. Accordingly, the incremental rate applied to the lessee's borrowing is used to calculate the present value of lease liabilities at the initial recording of the contract.

(c)

Provision for expected credit losses for accounts receivable

The Entity recognizes a provision for expected credit losses for accounts receivable applying a simplified approach. As a result, the Entity does not track changes in credit risk, but recognizes an allowance for loan losses at each reporting date.

The Entity established a provision matrix based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for prospective factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. In certain cases, however, the Entity may also consider an asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Entity is unlikely to receive the contractual amount with the customer in full.

4.

Financial risk management

4.1

Financial risk factors

The Entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including cash flow or fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Entity's risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse impacts on the Entity's financial performance. The Entity does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

Risk management is carried out by the Entity's Central treasury department. The Entity's treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The Board of Directors establishes principles for risk management, as well as for specific areas.

Notes to the financial statements
at December 31, 2021

All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated

(a)

Market risk (including cash flow and
fair value interest rate risk)

The Entity's interest rate risk arises from short and long-term borrowings and financial investments, substantially linked to the floating rates of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI).

The Entity analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Scenarios are analyzed taking into consideration refinancing and renewal of existing positions. Based on this analysis, the Entity monitors the risk of significant variation in the interest rate and calculates the impact on profit or loss.

(b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a centralized basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and deposits with banks and other financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.

The Entity's sales policy considers the credit risk level it is willing to accept in the course of its business. Enrollment for the next school period is blocked whenever a student is in default with the institution. The broad diversification of the receivables portfolio, the selectivity in accepting students, as well as the follow-up of maturities, are procedures adopted in order to minimize issues arising from default on accounts receivable.

The Entity maintains a provision for impairment of trade receivables to address credit risk. This credit analysis evaluates the credit quality of students taking into account the payment history, the period of the relationship with the institution and the credit analysis (SPC and Serasa).

(c)

Liquidity risk

This is the risk of the Entity not having sufficient liquid funds to meet its financial commitments, due to the mismatch of terms or volume in expected receipts and payments.

To manage liquidity of cash, assumptions for future disbursements and receipts are determined, and these are monitored daily by the treasury area.

4.2

Capital management

The Entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for quota holders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Entity manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and to maintain and adjust the capital structure, the Entity may adjust the dividend payment to quotaholders.

At December 31, 2021, the Entity had a capital structure designed to enable its growth strategy. Investment decisions take into consideration the expected return potential. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

(i)

In 2020 and 2021, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, management carried out an analysis of the recoverability of the amounts advanced to the Distance Learning Centers and the subsequent recording of a provision for these recoverability of these credits. The change aimed to capture situations that could increase the risks of loss. Thus, there has been an increase in the provision for hub partner that have significant debt.

To this end, the entity analyzes, in each partner, the relation between the balance of advances at December 31, 2021 and the accumulated amount transferred during the year of 2021. For partners with an index greater than 1.4, the Entity recorded a provision of 25%. For all others, the provision percentage used was 2%.

In relation to the amounts that are recorded as past due, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Entity launched the "Sou + Mútuo" program, which will grant new payment deadlines for loans (past due and not yet due) for the units that achieve specific fund-raising targets.

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

 

We expect to incur integration costs and synergies from the consolidation of Unicesumar. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect any future integration costs or synergies that may result from the consolidation of Unicesumar.

 

The Unicesumar acquisition by Vitru will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 — Business Combinations, using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma information presented, including allocation of the purchase price, is based upon our preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, available information as of this date and management assumptions, and will be revised upon final calculations during the one year measurement period as from the acquisition date. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material.

 

Additionally, the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Unicesumar acquisition will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Unicesumar that existed as of the closing date. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments presented herein may not reflect any final purchase price adjustments. We estimated the fair value of Unicesumar’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with Unicesumar’s management, due diligence and preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists. As the final valuations are being performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will result in adjustments, which may result in material differences from the information presented herein.

Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information

(amounts in thousands of reais, except per share data)

1. Basis of preparation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position is based on the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Vitru and the historical financial statements of Unicesumar, appearing elsewhere in this Form 6-K, and gives effect to the Unicesumar acquisition as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 is based on the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Vitru and the historical audited financial statements of Unicesumar, and gives effect to the Unicesumar acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are factually supportable and that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for information purposes only.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to represent what our actual consolidated results of operations would have been had the Unicesumar acquisition occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of future consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the historical financial statements of Unicesumar.

 

The audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements from which the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information have been derived, were prepared in accordance with IFRS.

2. Pro Forma adjustments and assumptions

Vitru has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of Unicesumar’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the acquisition, Vitru has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as if the Closing Date had been December 31, 2021.

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and income statement. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Vitru has the approval of all

2-4


the regulators and completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in the value of the consideration paid, (2) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, (3) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as customers relationships, operation licenses for distance learning and additional medical seats as well as goodwill and (4) other changes to assets and liabilities.

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions and, therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. We have only included material adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable and, with respect to the statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. A general description adjustment is provided as follows:

(a) Consideration paid was estimated based on the terms of the transaction considering that the owners of Unicesumar will receive cash and Vitru’s shares as agreed in the terms of the acquisition. Consideration will consist of R$ 2,770 million to be paid in cash plus 7,182 thousand Vitru’s Shares to be Issued on the Closing Date. In this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information, the Vitru’s Shares to be issued have been valued using the December 31, 2021 quoted market price of US$ 14.20 per share. Actual consideration will be based on share price on the Closing Date.

569,154

17,05%

(i) Reflects the estimated adjustment to financial expenses resulting from the interest expense from the monetary indexation by the CDI rate on the amounts payable in installments of the purchase consideration. The estimated adjustment to financial expenses amounted to R$ (78,253) for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(ii) If the Vitru quoted market price per Vitru’s Share on the Closing Date had increased/decreased by 10% compared to the December 31, 2021 quoted market price, the consideration paid would have increased/decreased by approximately R$ 56.9 million, and, as a consequence, goodwill would have increased/decreased by the same amount.

(b) It is assumed that as of December 31, 2021 the cash consideration of R$ 2,236,974 will be paid as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

150,000

Short term investments

250,000

Loans and financing

1,836,974

Total

2,236,974

Vitru has secured a firm credit line from leading Brazilian banks up to an aggregate amount of R$1.95 billion (five-year financing) for the transaction. In order to have sufficient resources to pay the cash portion of the acquisition price, which amounts R$2,236,974, the Company will use its own cash (R$500,000) plus resources from a firm credit line (R$1,736,974). For the pro-forma purposes, the credit line represented an increase in Loans and financing in the total amount of R$1,736,974 as of December 31, 2021.

It is assumed that the secured credit line would bear interest at approximately CDI+2.75% p.a. The related estimated financial expense for the credit line obtained above amounted R$ 131.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2-5


(c) As a precondition for the Transaction, some assets will be transferred/sold by Unicesumar to the previous owners, therefore these assets, which are currently reflected in the Unicesumar financial historical information, will not be part of the business combination. The adjustments below reflect the elimination of (i) the book value of property and equipment to be transferred from Unicesumar to Soedmar Sociedade Educacional de Maringá Ltda (Soedmar) prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the book value of property and equipment of Unicesumar to be sold to the current shareholders of Unicesumar prior to the Closing Date. Such tangible assets, as detailed below, will not be included in the net assets acquired by Vitru:

(c.1) The adjustment is reflected as a reduction of Unicesumar equity as demonstrated in (a) above.

(c.2) The adjustment is reflected as an increase in cash and a decrease in Property and Equipment in the statement of financial position.

Also it reflects the elimination of depreciation expense of such assets amounting R$ 2,185 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(d) The adjustment reflects the estimated fair value of the leasing contract for the right of use of certain Land and Building (refer to (c) above) to be signed prior to the Closing Date between Unicesumar and Soedmar (as disclosed in “c” above, this is a precondition for the transaction).

Also it reflects (i) the amortization expenses resulting from the recognition of estimated right-of-use assets of R$ 12,213 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and (ii) the interest expense related to the financial liability related to the lease liability of R$ 15,901 for the year ended December 31, 2021

(e) The adjustment reflects the recognition of the fair value impacts from goodwill, identified assets and their amortization as detailed bellow:
