Individual parent company and consolidated

and report on review

 

 

 
 

 

Report on review of individual parent company and

consolidated interim financial statements

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Telefônica Brasil S.A.

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheet of Telefônica Brasil S.A. ("Company") as at March 31, 2025 and the related statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheet of Telefônica Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Consolidated") as at March 31, 2025 and the related consolidated statements of income other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual parent company and consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual parent company and consolidated interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Telefônica Brasil S.A. and of the Telefônica Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2025, and the individual parent company financial performance and its cash flows for the three-month period then ended, as well as the consolidated financial performance and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34.

 
 

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

 

The interim financial statements referred to above include the individual parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management and are presented as supplementary information under IAS 34. These statements have been subjected to review procedures performed together with the review of the interim financial statements for the purpose concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in the accounting standard CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added have not been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in this accounting standard, and that they are consistent with the individual parent company and consolidated interim financial statements taken as a whole.

1. OPERATIONS

1.a. Background information

Telefônica Brasil S.A. (the “Company“ or “Telefônica Brasil“) is a publicly-held corporation whose main corporate purpose is operating telecommunications services; the development of activities necessary or complementary to the execution of such services in accordance with the concessions, authorizations and permissions granted; rendering value-added services; offering integrated solutions, management and provision of services related to: (i) data centers, including hosting and co-location; (ii) storage, processing and management of data, information, texts, images, videos, applications and information systems and similar; (iii) information technology; (iv) information and communication security; and (v) electronic security systems; licensing and sublicensing of software of any nature, among other activities.

The Company's principal offices are located at 1376, Engenheiro Luis Carlos Berrini Avenue, in the city and state of São Paulo, Brazil. It is a member of the Telefónica Group (“Group“), based in Spain which operates in several countries across Europe and Latin America.

Telefónica S.A. (“Telefónica“), the Group holding company, held a total direct and indirect interest in the Company of 76.30% on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (Note 23.a).

The Company is registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM“) and its shares are traded on the B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão ("B3"). It is also registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC“) and its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs“), backed by its common shares, are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE“).

1.b. Operations

The Company renders the following services: (i) Fixed Switched Telephony Service (“STFC“); (ii) Multimedia Communication Service (“SCM“, data communication, including broadband internet); (iii) Personal Mobile Service (“SMP“); and (iv) Conditioned Access Service (“SEAC“ – Pay TV); (v) Private Limited Service (“SLP“) and (vi) Global Mobile Satellite Service (“SMGS”), throughout Brazil, through authorizations, in addition to other activities.

Service authorizations are granted by Brazil's Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (“ANATEL“), the agency responsible for the regulation of the Brazilian telecommunications sector under the terms of Law No. 9472 of July 16, 1997 – General Telecommunications Law (“Lei Geral das Telecomunicações“ – LGT).

Personal Mobile Service - SMP

Before Law no. 13.879 / 2019 came into effect, authorizations for the use of radio frequencies were commonly granted for 15 years and could be extended only once, for the same term. Following the normative changes to the Law, successive extensions of authorization grants were allowed, though the current terms were only clarified by Decree no. 10.402/2020 which detailed the requirements related to the new successive extension regime; the current authorizations are also covered by the new regime.

The Decree defined ANATEL's parameters for evaluating the scope of extension requests, such as ensuring the efficient use of radio frequencies, competitive aspects, meeting the public interest and fulfilling obligations already assumed with ANATEL.

According to the interpretation of the Federal Audit Court (“TCU”), requests for extension must be assessed with a new spectrum bidding process as the rebuttable assumption and that, if ANATEL intends to approve the extension requested by the provider, it must prove compliance with the conditions set forth in the Decree.

For radio frequency usage authorizations acquired prior to the 5G auction held in 2021, every two years, after the first extension, the Company must pay a fee equivalent to 2% of the revenue earned through the provision of the SMP in the year prior to the payment, net of applicable taxes and social contributions (Note 22), and, for certain terms, in the 15th year the Company must pay the equivalent of 1% of its revenue in the previous year. The calculation will consider the net revenue resulting from the application of the Basic and Alternative Service Plans. In authorizations issued in the 700MHz, 2100MHz, 2500MHz sub-bands and in part of the 900/1800MHz authorizations, the calculation of the fee also applies to the remuneration for network use (interconnection).

In July 2018, ANATEL published Resolution No. 695 with a new regulation on public spectrum pricing. This Resolution established new criteria for the costs of extending licenses. The formula takes into account factors such as the length of the authorization, revenue earned in the region, and the amount of spectrum used by the provider. In addition, part of the payment may be converted into investment commitments. However, the applicability of the calculation methodology contained in the aforementioned Resolution in specific cases of authorization extensions depends on ANATEL's assessment. However, ANATEL has recently adopted different calculation methods for valuing authorization extensions. ANATEL submitted for public consultation, in November 2023, the revision of the Spectrum Usage Regulation (“RUE”), approved by Resolution No. 671, of November 3, 2016. The draft submitted by ANATEL revokes Resolution No. 695/2018 and directly consolidates in the RUE the rules associated with the valuation of authorizations for the use of the radio frequency spectrum, introducing the discounted cash flow method at net present value (“VPL”).

The information regarding the authorizations of each sub-band held by the Company for use in the SMP is the same as in explanatory Note 1.b) Operations, disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the extension of the 2,100 MHz authorizations, described below.

Extension of 2,100 MHz Authorizations

In April 2023, ANATEL agreed to extend the Company's current authorizations for the use of 2,100 MHz radio frequencies until April 2038 and submitted its decision to the TCU for review.

Since these were the first requests for extensions provided for in the contracts and bidding processes that originally granted these authorizations, the TCU's technical division did not identify evidence of irrational or inappropriate use of these bands by the Company that would justify denying the extensions. However, they highlighted the need to adapt Article 31 of Resolution No. 757/2022 to align with the proposed maximum validity periods.

On February 3, 2025, Resolution No. 757/2022 was revoked by Resolution No. 773/2025, which approved the new Regulation for Conditions of Use of Radio Frequencies.

On February 5, 2025, the TCU approved the extension of the 2,100 MHz authorizations, as originally proposed by ANATEL. This approval was formalized through Ruling No. 224/2025 – TCU – Plenary.

Switched Fixed Telephone Service (STFC)

The STFC concession model, adopted in 1998 upon signing of contracts for the privatization of the telecommunications sector, created a new business model for telecommunications services in Brazil. Over 20 years concessionaires promoted the expansion and universalization of fixed-line telephone service, which, before privatization, was expensive, elitist and left consumers waiting in long queues, lasting months or years.

On October 4, 2019, Law 13,879/2019 (resulting from PLC 79/2016) was published, introducing changes to the telecommunications regulatory framework, by allowing fixed-line telephone concessionaires to migrate from a concession regime to an authorization regime subject to lower regulatory burdens, including those associated with the continuity and universalization of STFC in the concession area, as well as possible restrictions on the assets associated with its provision.

On November 27, 2024, the proposal for the Terms and Conditions of the Self-Composition Agreement for Adaptation of the STFC Concession Contracts (“Agreement”) to an authorization instrument was approved by the TCU Plenary, and the Agreement was signed on December 16, 2024. The Terms include, among others: (i) investments by the Company, in the manner, conditions and terms established in this Agreement, in exchange for the adaptation; (ii) maintenance of the STFC service in locations without adequate competition within the service area of the STFC Concession contracts that will be terminated, until December 31, 2028; (iii) termination of administrative and judicial proceedings directly related to the STFC concession (Note 19); and (iv) withdrawal by the Company of the arbitration proceeding on the Concession.

The execution of the projects related to items (i) and (ii) totals a NPV of R$4.5 billion. The investments will be made in the manner established in the Agreement.

The Single Authorization Term was signed between the Company and ANATEL on April 11, 2025 (Note 35.b).

Risks Relating to the Brazilian Telecommunications Industry and the Company

The Company's business is subject to extensive regulation, including any regulatory changes that may occur during the terms of the agreements and the Company's authorizations to provide telecommunication services in Brazil. ANATEL, oversees, among other matters: industry policies and regulations; licensing (including licensing of spectrum and bidding processes); fees and tariffs; competition, incentives and competitive aspects (including the Company's ability to grow by acquiring other telecommunications businesses); service, technical and quality standards; consumer rights; penalties and other sanctions related to interconnection and agreements.

The Brazilian telecommunications regulatory framework is continuously evolving. The interpretation and enforcement of regulations, the assessment of compliance with regulations and the flexibility of regulatory authorities can be subjective. The Company operates under authorizations from the Brazilian government. However, because of the changing nature of the Brazilian regulatory framework, the Company cannot guarantee that ANATEL will not adversely modify the terms of the Company's authorizations and/or licenses. Accordingly, the Company's operating authorizations and licenses, must meet specific requirements and maintain minimum quality, coverage and service standards. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the imposition of fines, penalties and/or other regulatory responses, including the termination of the Company's operating authorizations. Any partial or total termination of any of the Company's operating authorizations and licenses or the Company's concession would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, revenues, results of operations and prospects.

In recent years, ANATEL has been reviewing and introducing regulatory changes, especially with regard to asymmetric competition measures and interconnection fees charged between local telecommunications service providers. Asymmetric competition measures may include regulations aimed at rebalancing markets where one or more participants hold significantly different market power over other competitors.

Under ANATEL's regulatory agenda for the 2023-2024 biennium, the revision of the General Competition Targets Plan (“PGMC”), approved by the Resolution no. 600, of November 8, 2012 and updated by Resolution no. 694, of July 17, 2018, which concentrates, in a single normative instrument, a set of specific measures aims at promoting competition and establishes the milestones for future reassessments of the performance of sectoral competition. This review, which takes place every four years and began with the publication of public consultation no. 64, of November 6, 2023, is dedicated to the reassessment of relevant markets in the sector, asymmetric regulatory measures and power holders of Significant Market (“PMS”), previously established by the regulation itself.

The expectation, as indicated by ANATEL for the 2025-2026 biennium (discussed in Public Consultation No. 46, dated September 11, 2024, and approved by ANATEL Internal Resolution No. 399/2024, dated December 30, 2024), is that the new PGMC will be published in the second half of 2025. In November 2023, ANATEL submitted for public consultation the revision of the Spectrum Use Regulation (“RUE”), approved by Resolution No. 671, dated November 3, 2016. The new wording proposed by ANATEL includes, among other changes, new rules for granting authorizations for the use of spectrum on a secondary basis, in addition to changes in the procedures for evaluating the efficient use of spectrum by ANATEL. The expectation, signaled at ANATEL for the 2025-2026 biennium, is that the new RUE will also be published in the second half of 2025.

Complementing the PGMC review, UPI's recent acquisition of the mobile assets of OI Móvel S.A. by the leading operators in the Brazilian SMP market (Vivo, Claro and TIM), raised competition concerns by ANATEL and CADE, which imposed regulatory remedies in order to promote competitive conditions in the markets, among which: (i) Reference Offer in the Relevant National Roaming Market; (ii) Reference Offer for developing Personal Mobile Service – SMP through Virtual Network MVNO – (“ORPA de MVNO”); (iii) Offer of Temporary and Onerous Assignment of Radio Frequency Use Rights; and (iv) Industrial Network Exploration Offer.

As to the Reference Offer, of Wholesale National Roaming Products (“National Roaming ORPA”), the regulatory remedy uses as a basis of reference values approved and calculated by ANATEL, based on a new methodology to study the roaming market cost model (LRIC + bottom-up model – Act No. 8822/2022). As a result of the change in the methodology used, the new reference values show a significant reduction when compared to the reference values previously in force (FAC-HCA top-down model – Act No. 9157/2018).

As to the Offers, mentioned above, specifically the MVNO ORPA and the National Roaming ORPA (“ORPAs”), these were being debated within the scope of ANATEL for the following concepts: (i) Requirement of Exclusivity of Contracting Companies: ANATEL decided, for MVNO LTRO, that the exclusivity requirement violates Res. 550/2010 and therefore cannot be maintained as a condition. For the Roaming LTRO, exclusivity may only be required in cases of contracting (a) National Roaming under an Industrial Exploration regime and (b) conventional National Roaming (transitional use) only on the 5GSA network; and (ii) Collection of Minimum Monthly Deductible: ANATEL decided that in both LTROs the minimum monthly deductible cannot be charged for a period of five years.

The Company currently has contracts allowing for the charging of minimum monthly franchise both in the National Roaming market and in the MVNO market, so that current contracts, depending on the contracting companies, can be migrated to the new updated offers.

Generally, the adoption of disproportionately asymmetric measures and the prospect of adoption, by ANATEL, of concepts, prices and remuneration models may impact on remuneration and costs, with detrimental effects on the business, financial condition, revenues, results operations and prospects of the Company.

As to the interconnection fees, a significant part of the Company's revenue and cost bases, these are charged among telecommunications service providers in order to allow and remunerate the interconnected use of their networks. To the extent that changes to the rules governing interconnection fees reduce the fees of the Company or its ability to collect such fees, the Company's businesses, financial condition, revenues, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

In addition, the Company is also subject to changes in rules and regulations aimed at preserving the rights of consumers of telecommunications services. ANATEL published, in November 2023, the new General Regulation on Consumer Rights (“RGC”), through Resolution No. 765/2023, which will replace Resolution No. 632/2014. This new Regulation seeks to change some provisions such as the way in which telecommunications services are offered, in addition to updating/modernizing some rules regarding customer service. Following discussions on the new RGC, including culminating in the cancellation of some of its provisions, ANATEL decided to extend the start of its validity, which will begin in September 2025.

Therefore, the Company's business, results of operations, revenues and financial conditions could be negatively affected by the actions of the Brazilian authorities, including, in particular, the following: the introduction of new or less flexible operational and/or service requirements; the granting of operating licenses in the Company's areas; limitations on interconnection fees the Company can charge to other telecommunications service providers; imposition of significant sanctions or penalties for failure to comply with regulatory obligations; delays in the granting of, or the failure to grant, approvals for rate increases; and antitrust limitations imposed by ANATEL and CADE.

Finally, there is also the risk that the Company will not be successful in securing future ANATEL tenders for new authorizations for the use of radio frequencies. The Board of Directors of ANATEL, through Ruling No. 148/2024, determined that ANATEL's Superintendencies adopt the necessary measures for the publication, by December 31, 2025, of a new Notice for the bidding procedure regarding to the 700 MHz subband. A draft of the Bidding Notice was submitted for debate through Public Consultation No. 59/2024, which will be open to contributions until the end of January 2025. Therefore, there is an expectation that a new tender will be held for this subband in 2025. As indicated by ANATEL through Resolution No. 757/2022, it is expected that ANATEL will hold new auctions by 2028, for the 850 MHz sub-band, and before 2032, for the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz sub-bands.

1.c. Corporate events in 2025

1.c.1. Acquisition of Samauma Brands Electronics Trade, Import and Export Ltda. ("Samauma") by Terra Networks Brasil Ltda. ("Terra Networks") (Business Combination)

On March 21, 2025, Terra Networks, a direct subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of all of the shares issued by Samauma for up to R$80,000, subject to meeting agreed operational and financial metrics (“Transaction”). This amount includes a non-compete agreement that was recognized separately from the business combination at a fair value of R$9,346. The remaining purchase price (R$70,654) was allocated to the net assets acquired, excluding the non-compete agreement, which was recognized as an intangible asset.

Samauma was founded in 2012 marketing a broad portfolio of smartphone accessories and electronics under the "i2GO" brand with high-quality, high-performance and affordable products.

On the date of the Transaction, Samauma was present in over 20.000 points of sale in Brazil, has a robust product development and marketing process, and achieved gross revenue in 2024 of more than R$65,000.

The Transaction documents contain terms and conditions common to this type of transaction.

The Transaction is part of the Company's strategy to strengthen its presence in the market for accessories for smartphones and other electronic devices, operating with its own brand, OVVI, committed to offering innovative and high-quality products, strategically positioning to meet the needs of the constantly evolving market. After the acquisition, the OVVI and i2GO brands will coexist complementing each other in terms of portfolio and market positioning.

With the completion of the Transaction, as of March 21, 2025, Terra Networks became the direct controlling company of Samauma.

Pursuant to IFRS 3, business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method in which the consideration transferred is measured at fair value comparing this to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the equity interests issued.

As of the date of this individual and consolidated quarterly information (“ITRs”) of the Company, Terra Networks is in the process of finalizing the Purchase Price Allocation – PPA - report for the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Samauma. The report PPA will be finalized within one year from the acquisition date. As of March 31, 2025, the Company's consolidated financial statements include the preliminary allocations of the PPA.

The assumptions, critical judgments, methods and hypotheses used to determine these fair values were as follows:

Brand

The “royalty relief” approach was used to assess the brand ("i2GO"), which consists of estimating the cash flows that the company would save by not having to pay royalties to third parties to use the brand, assuming that it was not owned by the Company. The projected flows correspond to the amounts that would be paid based on a royalty rate applied to i2Go's net revenue over the estimated useful life of the brand.

The main assumptions used in the assessment of the brands were: (i) Projected net revenue for the 5.5 years period (2025 to 2030); Average royalty rate applied: 1.25%, according to maturity of the years; Discount rate (net WACC + Premium): 18.13% per year; Tax rate (tax factor): 27% and; Estimated useful life: 5.5 years, with projections limited to the considered flow horizon.

The fair value of the brand was estimated at R$4,222, with an amortization period of 5.5 years.

Contingent Liabilities

Pursuant to IFRS 3, the acquirer must recognize, on the acquisition date, contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination even if outflows of resources are not likely to probable for settlement of the obligation, provided that it is a present obligation arising from past events and its fair value can be measured reliably. Contingent liabilities at a fair value of R$2,368 were recognized in this acquisition, which were determined based on the estimated cash outflow for their settlement on the acquisition date.

 

Composition of the fair value of the net assets acquired

The preliminary summary of the fair value of the net assets acquired in the amount of R$11,057, as well as the goodwill generated on the acquisition date, still open to adjustments.

Non-compete agreement

For the non-compete agreement, recognized separately from the business combination, the income approach was used, based on the “with and without” contract method (“with/without”). Potential losses of net revenue associated with the sellers' performance as competitors were considered, projecting two scenarios: one with the agreement in force and one without.

The main assumptions used in the assessment of the non-compete agreement were: (i) Revenue Reduction Capacity: from 15.0% (2025), 25.0% (2026) to 0.0% (2034); (ii) Probability of Competition: from 15.0% (2025), 25.0% (2026) to 0.0% (2034); (iii) Probable Revenue Loss: from 15.0% (2025), 25.0% (2026) to 0.0% (2034), according to the intersection of the factors above; (iv) Discount rate (WACC): 18.08% per year; and (v) Growth rate in perpetuity: 4.0%.

The fair value of the non-compete agreement was estimated at R$9,346, with an amortization term of 7 years.

Other information

The total consideration will not exceed R$80,000, with payment made as follows: (i) R$22,000 paid in cash, upon completion of the Transaction and; (ii) the balance of R$58,000 will be paid in accordance with contractual clauses, accruing DI interest rate between the closing date of the transaction and 10 days before the actual payment.

The fair value of accounts receivable totals R$12,512, which does not differ from the book value, consisting of a gross amount of R$13,020, net of estimated losses for impairment in the amount of R$508.

1.d. Reform of taxes on consumption

On December 20, 2023, Constitutional Amendment (“EC”) No. 132 was enacted, establishing the Tax Reform (“Reform”) on consumption. Complementary Law No. 214/2025 (“LC”) was sanctioned by the President of the Republic on January 16, 2025 and Complementary Bill No. 108/2024, regulates tax litigation and rules for administering new taxes, has been submitted to Congress.

The dual VAT model is under federal jurisdictions for Contribution on Goods and Services - CBS and non federal for Tax on Goods and Services - IBS, which will replace the PIS, COFINS, ICMS and ISS taxes.

A Selective Tax (“IS”) under federal jurisdiction, which will be levied on the production, extraction, marketing or import of goods and services that are harmful to health and the environment; under the LC, the IS will not apply to telecommunications services. There will be a transition period from 2026 to 2032, during which the two tax systems (old and new) will coexist.

8.d. Reconciliation of statutory tax rate to effective tax rate

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize income and social contribution taxes on an accrual basis, and pay taxes based on estimates, recorded in a tax auxiliary ledger. Taxes calculated on profits at the balance sheet date are recorded in liabilities or assets, as applicable.

The reconciliation of the tax expense from the statutory tax rate of 34% (income tax of 25% and social contribution tax of 9%) for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Deferred income and social contribution taxes (82,430)   623   (85,464)   (4,432)

8.e. Uncertain Tax Treatments

The Company and its subsidiaries are contesting several assessments filed by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority (“RFB“) for allegedly incorrect deductions of expenses, mainly related to the amortization of goodwill, at various administrative and judicial levels, of R$37,780,262 and R$36,939,312 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Management, supported by the position of its legal advisors, believes that a large part of these deductions will likely be accepted once examined by the higher courts of last resort (acceptance probability greater than 50%). These amounts accrue SELIC interest.

When the Company and its subsidiaries believe that the probability of loss is greater than 50%, a non-current tax and social contribution liability is recognized. The amount recognized was R$219,035 and R$216,497 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These claims involve compensation for overpayment of income tax and social contribution not yet approved by the RFB.

8.f. New calculation rule ("Pillar II") - OECD

On December 27, 2024 Law 15,079/24 was enacted, establishing the additional Social Contribution on Net Income (“CSLL”) in the process of adapting Brazilian legislation to the Global Rules Against Base Erosion, OECD model (“Pillar II”). Under this law, whenever the Company, adopting the calculation criteria provided for therein, determines an effective combined rate of Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income of less than 15%, it must make an additional payment until reaching this minimum percentage. This rule is effective as of January 2025 and, if an additional payment is necessary, the amount will be collected in the following year. The Company does not expect a significant impact from this rule on its collections, as it already meets the established limits.

19.c.1. Regulatory provisions

Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes the likelihood of loss of the following regulatory proceedings is probable, described below:

The Company is a party to administrative proceedings initiated mainly by ANATEL, which were initiated on the grounds of alleged non-compliance with obligations established in sectoral regulations, as well as in legal proceedings that discuss, mostly, sanctions applied by ANATEL at the administrative level. These include:

Burden: Specifically in relation to the payment of burden applied to the Personal Mobile Service - SMP (SMP burden), there is a dispute as to whether revenues should be considered in the payment of amounts due for the renewal of radio frequencies. The Company, together with its legal advisors, believe loss to be probable for the SMP burden on data revenue, due to the existence of unfavorable decisions both at ANATEL in 2021 and in court, with an unlikely prospect of review; the Company decided to prospectively make payments to ANATEL, starting in 2022.
General User Rights (“DGU”): The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and judicial discussions regarding the rights of users of telecommunications services, with regard the General Regulation of Consumer Rights of Telecommunications Services (“RGC”), approved by Resolution No. 632/2014, especially regarding the provision of services, collection of amounts, disputes, reimbursement, among others.
Quality: The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and judicial discussions regarding telecommunications services arising from STFC, SMP, SeAC and SCM concessions, compliance with the indicators that measure the quality of these services nationwide, based on the Telecommunications Services Quality Regulation (“RQUAL”), approved by Resolution No. 717/2019.
Relationship between Providers: The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and legal discussions affecting the regulatory relationship with other telecommunications service providers regarding interconnection, EILD, and the supply of other wholesale products.

The consolidated amounts in the topics highlighted above totaled R$895,726 and R$953,080 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Other cases:

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in administrative and legal discussions regarding other matters, such as service interruptions, various regulatory obligations, technical irregularities, payment of public prices for the acquisition of radio frequencies, compensation for the vacancy of frequency bands previously granted to the MMDS, Public Civil Actions, among others.
On October 1, 2024, the Company was advised of a Monitoring and Control Procedure ("PAC") for Reimbursement to monitor compliance with the obligation to compensate consumers identified in a Procedure for Determining Non-Compliance with Obligations ("PADO") that is in progress. As the original PADO has not issued its final decision, a request was made to suspend the PAC, which was accepted by ANATEL through a Decision.

The consolidated amounts in the topics highlighted above totaled R$89,000 and R$198,015 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

19.c.2. Possible risk of losses - regulatory contingencies

Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes the likelihood of loss of the following regulatory proceedings is possible:

Dispute regarding revenues in the calculation of the burden due to the extension of radio frequencies associated with SMP (except for SMP data revenues, as reported in item c.1 of this note). In ANATEL's view, the calculation of the burden should consider 2% on all economic profits resulting from the provision of the SMP service. In the Company's view, however, revenues that are not part of the SMP service plans, such as interconnection, revenues earned in the 15th year of the licenses' validity and others, should not be considered in the calculation of the burden. Accordingly, the Company filed administrative claims and lawsuits to challenge ANATEL's burden charges. In July 2024, ANATEL's Board of Directors ruled on the PAC for the calculation of the burden for the 2016 biennium, related to the extension of the radio frequency associated with the SMP, the result of which was favorable to the Company. It decided to include the restricted scope in the calculation methodology, resulting in a reduction in amounts. Other proceedings may be impacted by this decision, with pending recalculation by ANATEL. The estimated possible loss prognosis for the SMP burden, is R$1,012,523 and R$1,024,955 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Legal proceeding filed by the Company to overturn a decision by CADE, alleging that operators (Claro, Oi Móvel and the Company) had engaged in anticompetitive conduct by forming the Rede Correios Consortium to compete in electronic auction No. 144/2015, held by the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company; and that there was alleged price discrimination by the Company in relation to services offered to the company BT Brasil Serviços de Telecomunicações Ltda (“BT”), imposing a fine of R$28,394, with accrued interest totals R$39,234 and R$38,109 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The purpose of this action is to seek the nullification of the aforementioned sanction, based especially on (i) the absence of illegality in the formation of a consortium to participate in a public bidding process; (ii) the lack of typicality and the impossibility of sanctioning by analogy; and (iii) the absence of clear criteria for calculating the sanction and the lack of reasonableness. The case is in the first instance awaiting a ruling.

 

The PADO that deals with coverage targets for which the fine applied was R$127,741, whose updated amounts were R$171,401 and R$167,658 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, could be converted into an obligation to do so, which consists of an alternative means of complying with the fine, for investment in the installation of a 4G radio base station in 188 locations without this technology, the installation of which must occur in two and a half years, with maintenance costs equivalent to the period of one year. The installation cannot result from range sharing, swap, network rental, industrial exploration contracts, or other contractual means. After adherence and confirmation of consent by ANATEL, compliance within the determined period will be subject to monitoring.
On October 1, 2024, the Company was advised of a Monitoring and Control Procedure (“PAC”) for Compensation to monitor compliance with the obligation to provide compensation to consumers identified in a Procedure for Determining Non-Compliance with Obligations (“PADO”) which is in progress, whose updated values were R$37,242 and R$35,968 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As the original PADO has no final decision yet, a request was made to suspend the PAC, which was accepted by ANATEL through a Decision.

The consolidated amounts in the topics highlighted above totaled R$1,260,400 and R$1,266,690 on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

19.d.2. Possible losses - civil contingencies

Management, under the advice of legal counsel, believes that the risk of losses is possible for the following civil proceedings:

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to other civil claims, at several levels, related to service rendering rights. Such claims have been filed by individual consumers, civil associations representing consumer rights of consumers or by the Consumer Protection (“PROCON“), as well as by the Federal and State Public Prosecutor's Office. The Company is also party to other claims of several types related to the ordinary course of business.
Intellectual Property: Lune Projetos Especiais Telecomunicação Comércio e Ind. Ltda. (“Lune“), a Brazilian company, filed lawsuits on November 20, 2001, against 23 wireless carriers claiming to own the patent for “Bina“, a caller ID. The purpose of the lawsuit was to interrupt provision of such service by carriers and to seek indemnification equivalent to the amount paid by consumers for using the service.

An unfavorable decision was handed down determining that the Company should refrain from selling mobile phones with the Bina ID service, subject to a daily fine of R$10,000.00 (Ten thousand Reais) in the event of non-compliance. Furthermore, according to that decision, the Company must pay indemnification for royalties, to be calculated on settlement. Motions for Clarification were proposed by all parties and Lune's motions for clarification were accepted since an injunctive relief in this stage of the proceedings was deemed applicable. A review appeal was filed which granted a stay of execution suspending the unfavorable decision until final judgment in view of the sentence handed down on June 30, 2016, by the 4th Chamber of the Court of Justice of the Federal District, to annul the lower court sentence and remit the proceedings back to the lower court for a new examination. An expert report was submitted and the claims were dismissed. The parties filed an appeal. On February 1, 2023, the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories (“TJDFT”) judged the appeals and, unanimously, dismissed them, upholding the sentence of inadmissibility. Subsequently, a Special Appeal was filed by Lune, addressed by the Superior Court of Justice. An internal appeal was filed by Lune, which has not yet been judged. Management is unable to reasonably estimate a liability with respect to this claim currently.

The Company, together with other operators that provide telecommunications services, is a defendant in disputes that challenge the practice adopted by operators of imposing a limited term for the use of prepaid minutes. In other words, the plaintiff claims that the minutes of the prepaid package should not expire after the end of a specific term, and can be used at any time by the consumer. With the creation of the TRF of the 6th Region, the public civil action that was originally processed in Uberlândia/MG was forwarded to the new TRF, which denied the necessary referral, maintaining the inadmissibility of the claims made by the MPF, with the decision of the TRF of the 6th Region having already become final. There is still an ongoing public civil action, which was originally processed in Belém/PA, which is awaiting judgment in the TRF of the 1st Region, as well as the public civil action proposed by the OAB/SP against the Federal Union, ANATEL and operators, which was summarily extinguished, but which, by decision of the TRF of the 3rd Region, determined the processing of the action, without any sentence having been handed down yet.

The debentures are subject to early maturity events, as set out in clause 6.30 of “Early Maturity” of the Deed of Issuance (“Deed”), which may be automatic or not, such as: (i) non-compliance , by the Company, of any pecuniary or non-pecuniary obligation relating to the debentures and/or provided for in the Deed, not resolved within the deadlines provided for in the Deed; (ii) liquidation, dissolution or extinction of the Company in the manner provided for in the Deed; (iii) spin-off, merger, incorporation, incorporation of shares or any form of corporate reorganization involving the Company, as provided for in the Deed; (iv) early maturity of any debts and/or financial obligations of the Company within the scope of the financial market and capital market operations, local or international, under the terms set out in the Deed; (v) make the distribution and/or payment of dividends, interest on equity or make any other payments to its shareholders, if the Company is in default with any of its pecuniary obligations relating to the debentures; (vi) transfer, by the Company, by any means, assignment or promise of assignment to third parties, of the rights and obligations acquired or assumed in the documents relating to the debentures; (vii) reduction of the Company's share capital, as provided for in article 174, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporation Law, except if for (a) absorption of losses or (b) distribution of resources to the Company's shareholders, up to the limit of 15% of the Company's share capital, individually or in aggregate, on the date of execution of the Deed of Issue; and (viii) disposal of, or creation of liens or encumbrances on, relevant operating assets of the Company, provided that they represent, individually or in aggregate, 15% or more of the Company's total assets, based on the Periodic Financial Statements immediately prior to the date of the event.

On December 18, 2024, the Company's EGM approved the reduction of its capital, under the terms mentioned in the Material Fact of November 5, 2024.

The share capital reduction is to improve the Company's capital structure, optimizing allocation of its capital, and generation of value for its shareholders.

The Transaction aims to provide greater liquidity to the Company's shares and, consequently, improve the process of forming the share price, by increasing the number of shares in circulation effectively traded and adjusting their price. In addition, the Transaction aims to: (i) reduce operating and administrative costs resulting from the current configuration of the Company's shareholder base; (ii) provide greater efficiency in the management of its shareholder base; (iii) increase the efficiency of the systems for registering book-entry shares and custody; (iv) improve the provision of information and communication, improving service to shareholders; and; (v) provide greater efficiency in the distribution of profits to the Company's shareholders.

Transaction Completion

The Transaction was completed on the business day following the end of the Free Position Adjustment Period, that is, on April 15, 2025, at which time the Company's share capital was divided into 3,261,287,392 common shares with no par value and the shareholders had their shareholding positions adjusted. Once the Free Position Adjustment Period has ended, shareholders who hold fractions of shares resulting from the Transaction are subject to the procedure set forth in the item “Fractions of Remaining Shares”, described below.

As of April 15, 2025, inclusive, the shares began to be traded ex-split and ex-split.

Fractions of Remaining Shares

After the end of the Free Position Adjustment Period, fractional shares held by shareholders who have not adjusted their position to multiples of 40 shares will be grouped into whole numbers and sold at an auction to be held at B3 on behalf of the holders of the fractional shares (“Auction”). The net proceeds from the sale of these shares will be apportioned and distributed proportionally among all holders of the fractional shares as follows: (i) for shareholders with complete registration data, the amounts will be deposited in the checking account indicated in the respective shareholder’s registration; (ii) for shareholders with shares deposited in the B3 Central Depository, the amounts will be credited directly to the Central Depository, which will be responsible for forwarding them to the respective shareholder through its custody agent; and (iii) for other unidentified shareholders or those without complete registration data: the amounts will be made available at the Company, for the legal term, for receipt by the respective holder upon provision of complete registration data.

The funds allocated to investors (residents and non-residents) may be subject to income tax on any gains, which will be taxed as "net gains", in accordance with current legislation. Therefore, the appropriate tax treatment must be identified directly by the respective shareholders and their advisors.

The Transaction (i) was applied to all of the Company's shareholders; (ii) did not result in any change to the value of the Company's share capital; (iii) did not modify the rights granted by the shares issued by the Company to their holders; and (iv) implied a change, in parallel with the implementation of the Transaction, in the number of shares comprising each ADR, with 1 ADR representing 2 common shares issued by the Company, while the total number of ADRs in circulation remained unchanged.

The Company will disclose, in due course, the date of the Auction and the date on which the net proceeds resulting from the Auction will be made available to the holders of fractional shares.

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

31.a. Derivative transactions

The Company's derivative financial instruments are mainly intended to mitigate inflation risks on leases indexed to the IPCA, in addition to mitigating foreign exchange risks for liabilities in foreign currency. Derivative financial instruments are not used for speculation purposes.

Management believes that the Company's internal controls for its derivatives are adequate to control risks associated with each strategy for the market. Gains/losses obtained or sustained by the Company in relation to its derivatives show that its risk management has been appropriate.

Whilst these derivative contracts qualify for hedge accounting, the hedged item is adjusted to fair value, offsetting the result of the derivatives, pursuant to hedge accounting rules. This hedge accounting applies both to financial liabilities and probable cash flows in foreign currency.

Derivatives contracts include specific penalties for breach of contract. Breach of contract provided for in agreements made with financial institutions may cause early liquidation of the contract.

The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its current portfolio.

On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held no embedded derivatives contracts.

31.a.1. Fair value of derivative financial instruments

The valuation method for the fair value of financial liabilities (if applicable) and derivative financial instruments is the discounted cash flow method, based on expected settlements or realization of liabilities and assets at market rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

The fair values of the positions in Reais are calculated by projecting future inflows from transactions using B3 yield curves and discounting these flows to present value using market DI rates for swaps announced by B3.

The market values of foreign exchange derivatives were obtained using the market exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and projected market rates obtained from the currency's coupon-rate yield curves. The linear convention of 360 calendar days was used to determine coupon rates of positions indexed in foreign currencies, while the exponential convention of 252 business days was used to determine coupon rates for positions indexed to CDI rates.

For the purpose of preparing its financial statements, the Company uses fair value hedge accounting for its foreign currency swaps x CDI and IPCA x CDI for hedging or financial debt. Under this arrangement, both derivatives and hedged risk are recognized at fair value.

In the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2023, derivative financial instruments generated negative consolidated net results of R$41,906 and R$1,156, respectively (Note 27).

31.a.2. Sensitivity analysis of the Company's risk variables

Publicly-held companies disclose sensitivity analyses for each type of market risk considered significant by Management, arising from financial instruments, to which the entity is exposed at the closing date, including derivative financial instruments.

Each financial instrument derivative transaction was assessed, and assumptions under a probable base scenario and a further two stressed scenarios that could adversely impact the Company.

For the probable base scenario, at the maturity dates for each of the transactions, the market rates sourced from B3 yield curves (currencies and interest rates) were used plus data from the IBGE, Central Bank, FGV, among others. In the probable scenario, there is no impact on the fair value of the above-mentioned derivatives. For scenarios II and III, as per the CVM rule, risk variables were stressed by 25% and 50%, respectively.

The fair values shown in the table above are based on the portfolio position on March 31, 2025, but do not contemplate other changes to market variables which are constantly monitored by the Company. The use of different assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

For calculation of the net exposure for the sensitivity analysis, all derivatives were considered at market value and hedged items designated for hedges for accounting purposes were also considered at fair value.

The assumptions used by the Company for the sensitivity analysis on March 31, 2025, were as follows:

Risk Variable   Probable   25% depreciation   50% depreciation
US$   5.7422   7.1778   8.6133
EUR   6.2142   7.7678   9.3213
IPCA   5.93 %   7.47 %   9.02 %
IGPM   8.58 %   10.84 %   13.14 %
CDI   14.15 %   13.48 %   16.39 %
Euribor   2.28 %   2.86 %   3.44 %

31.b. Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability will take place (i) in the principal market for the asset or liability; and (ii) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The Company and or its subsidiaries must have access to the principal (or most advantageous) market.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interests.

Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into consideration the capacity of a market participant to generate economic benefits through the best use of the asset or selling it to another market participant that would also make the best use of the asset.

The Company and its subsidiaries use adequate valuation techniques in the circumstances and for which there is sufficient data to measure the fair value, which maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

The fair values of all assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy described below, based on the lowest level of information that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: (i) Level 1: quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2: valuation techniques for which there is a significantly lower level of information to measure the fair value directly or indirectly observable; and (iii) Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest and significant level of information to measure the fair value is not available.

For assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company and its subsidiaries determine whether transfers have occurred between levels of the hierarchy, reassessing the categorization (based on information at the lowest and most significant level for measuring the fair value as a whole) to each year end.

The Company and its subsidiaries assessed their financial assets and liabilities in relation to market values using available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Both the interpretation of market data and the selection of valuation methods require considerable judgment and reasonable estimates to produce the most adequate realization value. As a result, the estimates shown do not necessarily indicate amounts that could be realized in the current market. The use of different assumptions for the market and/or methodologies may have a material effect on estimated realization values.

The Company manages its capital structure by making adjustments and adapting to current economic conditions. In seeking such equilibrium, the Company may pay dividends, obtain new loans, issue debentures and contract derivatives. For the period ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in capital structure objectives, policies or processes.

The Company includes in the net debt structure the balances of loans, financing, debentures, leases and other creditors and derivative financial instruments, less cash and equivalents cash and accounts receivable from credit rights (FIDC Vivo Money).

31.d. Risk management policy

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to several market risks as a result of its commercial operations, debts contracted to finance its activities and debt-related financial instruments.

31.d.1. Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the foreign exchange risk for financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which may reduce receivables or increase payables depending on the exchange rate in the period.

Hedging transactions were executed to minimize the risks associated with exchange rate changes on financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. This balance is subject to daily changes due to the dynamics of the business. However, the Company intends to cover the net balance of these assets and obligations (US$66,445 thousand, €14,871 thousand and £71 thousand paid by March 31, 2025, and US$40,295 thousand, €15,988 thousand and £71 thousand paid by December 31, 2024) to mitigate its foreign exchange risks.

31.d.2. Interest and Inflation Risk

This risk may arise from an unfavorable change in the domestic interest rate, which may adversely affect financial expenses from the portion of debentures referenced to the CDI and liability positions in derivatives (currency hedge and IPCA) pegged to floating interest rates (CDI).

To reduce exposure to the floating interest rate (CDI), the Company and its subsidiaries invested cash equivalents of R$8,134,796 and R$6,542,862 on March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, mostly in short-term CDI-based financial investments (CDBs). The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values, as they may be redeemed in the short term.

31.d.3. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk consists of the possibility that the Company not having sufficient funds to meet its commitments due to the different timing and settlement terms of its rights and obligations.

The Company structures the maturities of financial instruments so as not to affect their liquidity.

The Company's cash flow and liquidity are managed on a daily basis by the operating departments to ensure that cash flows and contracted funding, when necessary, are sufficient to meet scheduled commitments in to mitigate liquidity risk.

The maturity profile of consolidated financial liabilities includes future principal and interest amounts up to the maturity date. For fixed rate liabilities, interest was calculated based on the indices established in each contract. For floating rate liabilities, interest was calculated based on the market forecast for each period.

In order to minimize liquidity risk and ensure compliance with obligations, the Company's cash investment policy prioritizes instruments indexed to the CDI (post-fixed rate), with daily liquidity and counterparties whose credit rating and/or balance scorecard indicate low credit risk. In addition, the investment policy establishes diversification limits for counterparties, which provides greater confidence in the Company's ability to honor its payment commitments.

31.d.4. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses resulting from difficulties in receiving invoiced amounts for the provision of services and sale of devices and equipment to its B2C and B2B customers and distributor network.

The credit risk from accounts receivable is diversified and minimized by strict control of the customer base and constant risk analysis. The Company constantly monitors the level of accounts receivable and limits the risk of unpaid bills by cutting off access if the invoice is overdue. For prepaid mobile customers there is no credit risk. Exceptions are made for emergency services that must be maintained for reasons of national security or defense.

The credit risk from the sale of devices is managed by a conservative policy in granting credit, through modern management methods, which involve the application of credit scoring techniques, analysis of financial statements and information and consultation of commercial databases, in addition to the request for guarantees.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk arising from their financial investments, letters of guarantee received as collateral for certain transactions and amounts receivable from derivative financial instruments. The Company and its subsidiaries control the credit limit granted to each counterparty and diversify this exposure among top-tier financial institutions, in accordance with the current counterparty credit policy.

31.d.5. Insurance Coverage

The policy of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the Telefónica Group, is to contract insurance coverage for all significant assets and liabilities of high-risk based on Management's judgment and following Telefónica corporate program guidelines.

On March 31, 2025, the maximum limits of claims (established pursuant to the agreements of each entity consolidated by the Company) for significant assets, liabilities or interests covered by insurance and their respective total R$900,000 for operational risks (including business interruption) and R$75,000 for general civil liability.

The Company's Management considers the insurance coverage to be sufficient to cover any potential claims.

34. OTHER MATTERS

34.a. Environmental Risks

The Company's operations and properties are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that govern environmental licenses and registrations, protection of fauna and flora, atmospheric emissions, waste management and remediation of contaminated areas, among others. If the Company or its business partners are unable to comply with current and future legal requirements, or identify and manage new or existing environmental liabilities, it will have to incur significant costs, which include investigation and remediation costs, indemnities, compensation, adjustment of conduct, fines, suspension of activities and other penalties, investments to improve facilities or change operations, in addition to damage to the Company's reputation in the market.

The identification of new relevant environmental issues, changes in assessment criteria by regulatory agencies, entry into force of more restrictive laws and regulations or other unforeseen events may result in significant environmental liabilities and their respective costs. The occurrence of any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. According to article 75 of Law No. 9,605/1998, the maximum fine for non-compliance with the environmental law is R$50,000 plus losses related to embargoes or administrative sanctions, in addition to indemnities and repairs for damages caused to the environment.

Climate change poses a number of potential systemic risks (environmental, financial and socioeconomic) to telecommunications operators, such as the Company, from both a regulatory and physical perspective. Increased intensity and frequency of extreme events, such as precipitation, cyclones, floods, fires and heat waves, may damage, suspend or interrupt the Company’s transmission operations for an indefinite period. Should a succession of extreme weather events occur, the Company may not have sufficient resources to repair its infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner.

In a quantitative analysis, it is noted that the increase in temperature directly affects the operating conditions of the Company's network equipment, which can cause failures, accelerated wear and loss of assets and, therefore, increase the probability of service interruptions, generating reputational and financial risks. For this reason, cooling the equipment is essential to ensure the proper operation of the Company. In more serious cases, the risk of fires can also increase. As a result, global warming can increase our demands for cooling and energy use, increasing our operating costs.

The telecommunications sector is not particularly dependent on fossil fuels, but it is dependent on electricity consumption for its networks, so variations in electricity prices are sensitive to the sector and can have a significant impact on the Company's operating expenses related to energy. The estimated economic impact of this risk classifies it as substantive, on the horizon of 2030.

To manage climate risks, the Company performs diagnostics on physical and transition risks, promotes energy efficiency programs and renewable energy and distributed energy generation plans, in addition to having a dedicated business continuity area, guided by the Global Business Continuity Regulation (“GBC”), which prescribes preventive risk management, ensuring the resilience of its operations before any possible interruption.

34.b. Compliance

The Company is subject to compliance with Brazilian legislation related to combating corruption, in particular Law No. 12,846/2013 and Decree No. 11,129/2022, as well as foreign legislation in the jurisdictions in which it operates as a securities issuer and securities, more specifically the US Foreign Corrupt Practice Act – FCPA of 1977.

Violations of legislation aimed at combating corruption may result in financial penalties, damage to reputation and other legal consequences that may negatively affect the Company's activities, the results of its operations or its financial condition.

The Company has internal policies and procedures designed to prevent, detect and remedy non-compliance with these laws by the Company's directors, officers, partners, executives, representatives and service providers and develops and implements initiatives to ensure continuous improvement of its Compliance Program, through a robust organizational and governance structure that guarantees operations based on ethics, transparency and respect for applicable laws and regulations.

As a result of its commitment to maintaining a robust Compliance Program, since 2020 the Company has obtained the DSC 10,000 certification annually, currently valid until December 12, 2025. In 2024, the Company was also recognized at the first edition of the Leaders League Compliance Summit & Awards Brazil for having the best Compliance department in Telecom and Technology and, in 2023, it was recognized as a Pro-Ética company, an initiative of the Comptroller General of the Union (“CGU”) and the Ethos Institute to encourage the voluntary adoption of integrity measures by companies and, thus, recognize those that are committed to implementing actions aimed at preventing, detecting and remediating acts of corruption and fraud.
