HIGHLIGHTS

  • In the 2025 sales cycle to date (which commenced 4Q24 through 1Q25), net revenue increased 11% to R$1,129 million compared to the same period of the 2024 sales cycle, mostly due to the conversion of Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) bookings into revenue in the period.

In 1Q25 FCF totaled R$74 million, a 42% increase from R$52 million in 1Q24.

Additionally, First semester of 2025 will benefit from early collections regarding 2025 sales cycle, which will be normalized throughout the year.
  • Mr. Mario Ghio, former Vasta´s CEO, resigned from his board member position to pursue personal projects. Mr. Guilherme Melega was appointed by the Board to replace him as board member.

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

The 1Q25 results represent the halfway through of the 2025 sales cycle, where we continue to deliver relevant financial results. In the 2025 sales cycle to date, net revenue increased 11% to R$1,129 million, compared to the same period of the 2024 sales cycle, mostly due to the conversion of ACV into revenue.

Vasta’s accumulated subscription revenue in the 2025 sales cycle to date totaled R$1,019 million, a 17% increase compared to the previous sales cycle. Our complementary solutions have seen important growth of 24% in the 2025 sales cycle when compared to the same period of 2024, with an accelerated increase in both student base and market penetration. The partners-school base that uses our complementary solutions increased to an aggregate of 2,149 schools.

Start-Anglo bilingual school operations, which have already achieved R$4,3 million of the subscription revenue in the 2025 sales cycle, started showing results and despite the small net revenue in relation to total company, these numbers reinforce the importance of Start Anglo in our future business and demonstrate an important source of revenue for the coming years. In a short time, it has evolved from concept to reality, with 7 operating units in 2025. We have already signed more than 40 contracts, and we expect these units will be operational in the coming years and we have been working to convert in contract our strong pipeline, with more than 300 prospects.

Our technology platform, Plurall, has achieved a new stage of development and service delivery. In the last year, we delivered new features to teachers, schools, and students, using artificial intelligence powered by AWS (Amazon Web Services). In 2025, it was already created more than 1.4 million objects (questions, slides, pictures, tests) using our AI features, and our intelligent assistant "Plu" has been supporting students to have a personalized learning experience by responding to questions about specific subjects and assisting them in their daily study time. For teachers, Plu will be a personalized partner and will streamline activities such as creating presentations, slides, videos, questions, lesson plans, and teaching materials. We have been working on improving our platform focused on creating an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), and Plurall is expected to be able to generate personalized pedagogical recommendations (to be implemented in 2026) and assist teachers and schools in inclusive practices, providing an innovative solution to help educators transform challenges into opportunities for growth. Focused on the concepts of inclusion, diversity, and equity in continuous education, Plurall AI advances towards creating a welcoming educational environment for all students.

In the B2G segment, this quarter we achieved R$ 5 million in net revenue, coming from 5 new contracts. In 1Q24, we achieved R$ 69 million, when the totality of Pará contract (1st and 2nd Semester) was booked all at once. In 2025 cycle, 1st Semester of Pará contract was booked in 4Q24 and 2nd Semester is expected to be performed throughout the year. We remain confident in our strategy to have a positive impact on public education, serving this segment and its students with our extensive portfolio of core content solutions, digital platform, and additional offerings, along with the custom learning solutions developed over decades in the private sector.

The continued growth of the company's profitability was another highlight of the 2025 sales cycle to date as the Adjusted EBITDA grew by 5% to R$420 million compared to R$402 million in the previous year, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased from 39.6% in the same period of the 2024 sales cycle to 37.2% in the 2025 sales cycle to date. In proportion to net revenue, gross margin decreased 3.2 p.p. in the sales cycle to date, mainly due to a different seasonality in 2025 B2G revenues, as explained above, and higher marketing expenses related to business expansion.

The company’s cash flow generation was one of the main highlights of the 2025 sales cycle to date. Free cashflow (FCF) totaled R$144 million, a R$92 million increase from R$52 million at the same point of the 2024 sales cycle. The last twelve-month (LTM) FCF/Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate improved from 42.5% to 50.8% as a result of Vasta’s growth and implementation of sustained efficiency measures. Additionally, first semester of 2025 will benefit from early collections regarding 2025 sales cycle, which will be normalized throughout the year.

It is worth saying that these measures include certain improvements in our collection processes, including process automation, reminders and past-due notifications, customer segmentation, and faster renegotiation of delayed receivables. On the payments side, we implemented several initiatives to achieve better discipline in payments, such as rigorous financial planning, centralization of payments on single monthly dates, and negotiating longer payment terms with suppliers.

Moreover, we continue to make progress on deleveraging the company. The net debt/LTM adjusted EBITDA of 2.06x as of the end of 1Q25 shows a downward trend being 0.16x less than as of 1Q24.

In the 2025 sales cycle to date, Adjusted EBITDA reached R$420 million, representing an increase of 4.6% in comparison to the same period of the 2024 sales cycle, with a margin of 37.2%, compared to 39.6% in the same period of the 2024 sales cycle. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by gains in operating efficiency and a sales mix that benefited from the growth of subscription products, compensating for lower net revenue in the B2G segment. In 1Q25, Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$121 million, a 25.2% decrease compared to R$162 million in 1Q24, mainly impacted by lower net revenue in the B2G segment and higher marketing expenses, substantially linked to the seasonal effect of commissions to be paid on e-commerce net revenue.

In the 2025 cycle to date, the Company proceeded with the partial reversal of the tax contingencies, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, related to the discussions of goodwill and other subjects derived from the acquisition of the Anglo Group in 2010 and subsequent restructuring. Company decided to partially reverse certain provisions in the total amount of R$ 532,717, comprising (i) R$ 92,558 reversals of the principal portion, which impacted positively our general and administrative expenses (ii) R$ 233,198 reversals of the income tax and social contribution, (iii) R$ 206.961 reversal of interest and fines, in the Finance result.

Free cash flow (FCF) totaled R$74 million in 1Q25, a 42.3% increase from R$52 million in 1Q24. In the 2025 sales cycle to date, FCF totaled R$144 million, a R$92 million increase from R$52 million in the same period of the 2024 sales cycle. The last twelve-month (LTM) FCF/Adjusted EBITDA conversion rate improved from 42.5% to 50.8% as a result of Vasta’s growth and implementation of sustained efficiency measures. These measures include certain improvements in our collection processes, including process automation, reminders and past-due notifications, customer segmentation, and faster renegotiation of delayed receivables . On the payments side, we implemented several initiatives to achieve better discipline in payments, such as rigorous financial planning, centralization of payments on single monthly dates, and negotiating longer payment terms with suppliers. Additionally, the first semester of 2025 will benefit from early collections regarding 2025 sales cycle, which will be normalized throughout the year.

As of the end of 1Q25, Vasta had a net debt position of R$963 million, a R$40 million decrease compared to 4Q24, mainly due to positive FCF generation, compensated by financial interest costs. Compared to 1Q24, the net debt position decreased R$ 106 million. The net debt/LTM adjusted EBITDA as of 2.06x shows a downward trend being 0.16x less than as of 1Q24.

ESG

Sustainability Report

In August 2024, we disclosed Vasta´s third sustainability report regarding the year of 2023 and it was prepared in accordance with international standards and the implementation of our corporate strategy, challenges, and achievements, while also reaffirming our commitment to transparency and sustainability. These include the publication of its second Greenhouse Gas Inventory, the company's adherence to the UN Global Compact, the dedication of 1,991 thousand hours to the Corporate Volunteer Program, the SOMOS Afro program, an affirmative internship program, and the fact that 29% of the seats on the Board of Directors are occupied by women.

The report complies with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2021 version and considers other standards recognized in Brazil and abroad, such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidelines for the education sector, the guidelines of the IBC Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics from the World Economic Forum, and the principles of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC).

The 2024 data was adjusted as part of the annual reparameterization process, since some utility bills may not be available at the time of data closing. The increase in water consumption in the first quarter of 2025 is due to the integration of the new unit, Start Anglo Liceu, offset by the deactivate Anglo Tamandaré unit, which is no longer impacting the data.

Continuing our Diversity and Inclusion efforts, we are committed to promoting inclusion and recognizing the multiple identities that make up both our society and Cogna. On National Trans and Transvestite Visibility Day, we took the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the inclusion of the trans and transvestite community, combating discrimination and promoting equal rights. Throughout this week, we emphasized the importance of this date through posts on our internal social network, with the aim of inspiring and mobilizing everyone toward a fairer and more respectful environment. Additionally, in March 2025 we celebrated International Women's Day, a historic occasion that invites us to reflect on the importance of working not only for a diverse job market but for a plural and equitable society. During this period, we highlighted the #WomenWhoEmpower and recognized the talent, dedication, and achievements of our female colleagues, who are essential to the success and growth of Cogna. These actions are crucial in strengthening our commitment to a more inclusive and respectful workplace.

During the period, the main employee accidents involved cuts and punctures to fingers and hands, occurring in circulation areas. Inspections were conducted in the workplaces to identify risk situations and implement preventive plans.

The decrease in the number of trained employees in the first quarter of 2025 is due to the fact that our training programs follow a two-year recycling cycle. In other words, many employees were already trained in previous periods, which naturally reduces the demand for new training sessions at this time. This approach is part of our strategy to keep the team continuously updated, while respecting the established frequency for each topic.

NA: Not available: quarterly disclosure began in the second quarter of 2023. It used to be reported annually in Sustainability Reports.

We expanded the disclosure of the confidential reporting channel with the goal of reaching a broader audience, including locations where this communication was previously unavailable. To achieve this, we installed signs with QR codes in corporate offices, distribution centers, and educational institutions, and also made the access link available directly on the student portal. This increased visibility and ease of access may have contributed to the rise in the number of cases reported this quarter, reflecting greater awareness and trust in using the channel.

The increase in the number of complaints in the first quarter of 2025 can be attributed to the student enrollment period, which led to a higher volume of requests and inquiries regarding the handling of personal data. We have added a sorting and reclassification feature allowing us, after analysis of the case, to reclassify requests based on whether they fact relate to rights of data subjects under the Brazilian data protection regulation

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release presents our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net (loss) profit and Free cash flow (FCF), which is information provided for the convenience of investors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the key performance indicators used by us to measure financial operating performance. Our management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and shareholders. We also use these measures internally to establish budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, evaluate our underlying historical performance and business strategies and to report our results to the board of directors.

We calculate EBITDA as net (loss) profit for the period/year plus income taxes and social contribution plus/minus net finance result plus depreciation and amortization. The EBITDA measure provides useful information to assess our operational performance.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus/minus: (a) income tax and social contribution; (b) net finance result; (c) depreciation and amortization; (d) share-based compensation expenses, mainly due to the grant of additional shares to Somos’ employees in connection with the change of control of Somos to Cogna (for further information refer to note 23 to the audited consolidated financial statements); (e) provision for risks of tax, civil and labor losses regarding penalties, related to income tax positions taken by the Predecessor Somos – Anglo and Vasta in connection with a corporate reorganization carried out by the Predecessor Somos – Anglo; (f) Bonus IPO, which refers to bonus paid to certain executives and employees based on restricted share units; and (g) expenses with contractual termination of employees due to organizational restructuring. We understand that such adjustments are relevant and should be considered when calculating our Adjusted EBITDA, which is a practical measure to assess our operational performance that allows us to compare it with other companies that operates in the same segment.

We calculate Adjusted net (loss) profit as the (loss) profit for the period/year as presented in Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income adjusted by the same Adjusted EBITDA items, however, added by (a) Amortization of intangible assets from Business Combination and (b) Tax shield of 34% generated by the aforementioned adjustments.

We calculate Free cash flow (FCF) as the cash from operating activities as presented in the Statement of Cash Flows less (a) income tax and social contribution paid; (b) tax, civil and labor proceedings paid; (c) interest lease liabilities paid; (d) acquisition of property, plant and equipment; (e) additions to intangible assets; and (f) lease liabilities paid.

We understand that, although Adjusted net (loss) profit, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow (FCF) are used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under IFRS. Additionally, our calculations of Adjusted net (loss) profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free cash flow (FCF) may be different from the calculation used by other companies, including our competitors in the education services industry, and therefore, our measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SEASONALITY

Our main deliveries of printed and digital materials to our 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 we provide in the fourth quarter are used by our customers in the following school year and, therefore, our fourth quarter results reflect the growth in the number of our students from one school year to the next, leading to higher revenue in general in our fourth quarter compared with the preceding quarters in each year. Consequently, in aggregate, the seasonality of our revenues generally produces higher revenues in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. Thus, the numbers for the second quarter and third quarter are usually less relevant. In addition, we generally bill our 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 our expenses is also seasonal. Due to the nature of our business cycle, we need significant working capital, typically in September or October of each year, to cover costs related to production and inventory accumulation, selling and marketing expenses, and delivery of our 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.

Purchases through our Livro Fácil e-commerce platform are also very intense during the back-to-school period, between November, when school enrollment takes place and families plan to anticipate the purchase of products and services, and February of the following year, when classes are about to start. Thus, e-commerce revenue is mainly concentrated in the first and fourth quarters of the year.

KEY BUSINESS METRICS

Annual Contract Value, or ACV, is a non-accounting managerial metric and represents our partner schools’ commitment to pay for our solutions offerings. We believe it is a meaningful indicator of demand for our solutions. We consider ACV is a helpful metric because it is designed to show amounts that we expect to be recognized as revenue from subscription services for the 12-month period between October 1 of one fiscal year through September 30 of the following fiscal year. We define ACV as the revenue we would expect to recognize from a partner school in each school year, based on the number of students who have contracted our services, or “enrolled students,” that will access our content at such partner school in such school year. We calculate ACV by multiplying the number of enrolled students at each school with the average ticket per student per year; the related number of enrolled students and average ticket per student per year are each calculated in accordance with the terms of each contract with the related school. Although our contracts with our schools are typically for 4-year terms, we record one year of revenue under such contracts as ACV. ACV is calculated based on the sum of actual contracts signed during the sales period and assumes the historical rates of returned goods from customers for the preceding 24-month period. Since the actual rates of returned goods from sales during the period may be different from the historical average rates and the actual volume of merchandise ordered by our customers may be different from the contracted amount, the actual revenue recognized during each period of a sales cycle may be different from the ACV for the respective sales cycle. Our reported ACV is subject to risks associated with, among other things, economic conditions and the markets in which we operate, including risks that our contracts may be canceled or adjusted (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic).
