Co-CEOs LETTER

Vitru, committed to quality education and value creation for all stakeholders

Dear valued shareholders,

We are delighted to present to you the second quarter 2023 earnings release for Vitru, the leading digital education company in Brazil and a proud member of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

In these challenging times, we are incredibly proud of our continued progress and remarkable achievements. During the second quarter, we further solidified our position as a digital education (DE) leader in Brazil. Our student base expanded, reaching a total of 896.4 thousand enrolled students in DE courses as of June 30, 2023, led by a 16.8% increase in the intake of the DE Undergraduate segment in the first semester of 2023 versus the same period of 2022. This growth can be attributed to our robust marketing efforts, the ongoing enhancement of our course offerings, and the trust and engagement of our students.

We continued to invest in our technology infrastructure, focusing on scalability and reliability. This has enabled us to deliver uninterrupted, high-quality online education to our students, even as we experienced increased demand and expanded our course catalog. Our investment in cutting-edge learning platforms and personalized learning solutions has allowed us to maintain our competitive edge in the market and deliver exceptional educational outcomes.

The execution of our strategy has once again allowed us to deliver strong financial results during the second quarter of 2023. We recorded a significant increase in revenue, reaching R$521.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing a growth of 69% compared to the same period of last year. This growth demonstrates our ability to capitalize on the increasing demand for digital education solutions, positioning us as a market leader in Brazil.

Our Adjusted EBITDA margin also expanded to 38.8% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, reflecting our commitment to operational excellence and cost management as we implement synergies related to our business combination with UniCesumar. We continue to make strategic investments in technology, content development, and talent acquisition to ensure sustainable growth and enhance our students' learning experiences.

Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the future of Vitru. We believe that Brazil's digital education market is poised for sustained growth, driven by increasing internet penetration, rising demand for upskilling and reskilling, and a changing educational landscape. As the leading digital education company in Brazil, we are well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.

As we move forward into the second half of 2023, we are confident that our commitment to excellence, innovation, and student success will continue to drive our growth and deliver long-term value for our shareholders.

OPERATING RESULTS

Student base and hubs

We consider the number of enrolled students an important operational metric for Vitru. As of June 30, 2023, Vitru had 919.6 thousand students enrolled in the courses it provides, an increase of 13.3% compared to the number of enrolled students over the same period of the prior year.

The percentage of digital education students to total enrolled students is a relevant metric, which we believe best demonstrates the focus on digital education (comprising both undergraduate courses and continuing education courses) and its relevance to the services offered. As of June 30, 2023, students enrolled in digital education courses represented 97.5% of the total number of enrolled students, slightly up from the percentage achieved on June 30, 2022. On an organic basis (i.e. Uniasselvi only), students enrolled in digital education represented 98.7% of the total number of enrolled students, up 0.2 p.p. from 2Q22.

It is important to highlight that the number of hubs is one of the drivers that enable the Company to increase its enrolled student base. A material portion of Vitru’s growth is driven by the expansion and subsequent maturation of the hubs.

Vitru has expanded its operations and geographic presence throughout Brazil with the opening of new hubs in the last few years. In fact, 92.7% of the current 2,301 hubs are still ramping up, representing a substantial growth avenue: the current average maturation ratio of hubs in expansion is only 47.8%. The Company estimates that a typical hub reaches its full capacity in terms of the number of students (and hence is deemed to be mature) after seven or eight years of operations.

The index comprises all Expansion hubs as of the end of each period, and hence it can actually decrease in a given quarter as new Expansion hubs are opened.

The intake volume of Uniasselvi and UniCesumar combined in 2023.1 (considering new students for our DE undergraduate courses) increased by 16.8% when compared to the same cycle of the previous year.

Graphic

In addition, note that the Company posted strong intake results in the 2022 intake cycles (40.3% growth in 2022.1 versus 2021.1 intake cycle and 30.8% growth in 2022.2 versus 2021.2 intake cycle, both considering the consolidated intakes of Uniasselvi and UniCesumar). This performance resulted in a change in the mix of the student base, with a higher percentage of freshmen students and a lower percentage of senior students, particularly in the case of UniCesumar, as shown in the following chart. Once the drop-out rates are higher in the first two semesters of a given course, the above-mentioned strong intakes in 2022 partially explain the deterioration of the retention rates in the first semester of 2023.

Graphic

It is important to highlight that the number of hubs is one of the drivers that enable the Company to increase its enrolled student base. A material portion of Vitru’s growth is driven by the expansion and subsequent maturation of the hubs.

(1)Tuitions are net of cancellations. The consolidation of UniCesumar within Vitru’s financial statements started on May 20, 2022.
(2)In the second quarter of each year, the Company calculates the “Average Ticket DE undergraduate (R$/month)” as the sum of the Digital Education Undergraduate Tuitions net of cancellations of the semester divided by the average number of students between the beginning and the end of the semester.

The strength of Vitru’s model and the sustainability of its growth can be demonstrated by the total amount charged for course tuitions from digital education undergraduate students (which is the sum of gross revenue and the hub partners’ portion of the tuitions less other academic revenue and cancellations).

DE Undergraduate tuitions for 2Q23 amounted to R$602.4 million, an increase of 16.0% compared to the R$519.2 million recorded in 2Q22 on a pro-forma basis (considering, for illustration purposes only, the full consolidation of UniCesumar’s 2Q22 tuitions within Vitru, although the closing of the UniCesumar business combination took place only on May 20, 2022). This growth rate primarily reflects the maturation of expansion hubs (i.e. hubs that are not yet deemed to be mature) through the organic increase in the number of students enrolled in digital education undergraduate courses.

Graphic

The average monthly ticket for Uniasselvi DE Undergraduate courses increased by 8.5%, from R$308.2 in 1H22 to R$334.3 in 1H23. We believe that this increase, despite the challenging macroeconomic conditions in Brazil, is indicative of the resilience of Vitru’s organic academic model, as well as the pricing discipline being applied over the recent years. Going forward, we see the potential for the contribution of new courses with higher monthly tickets, such as nursing, which was only launched in the second semester of 2021.

The average monthly ticket for UniCesumar DE Undergraduate courses decreased 2.8% to R$229.5 in 1H23 compared to R$236.1 in 1H22. As part of the best practices currently being exchanged between the entities, we are working to improve UniCesumar’s average tickets in line with the pricing strategies being applied by Uniasselvi in the recent years, which has differentiated it from the other players in the market. We believe that this slight decline in UniCesumar’s average ticket in 1H23 compared to 1H22 is partially attributable to the strong intake performance of UniCesumar throughout 2022, given that usually, the average ticket of freshmen students is lower than that of senior students.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net Revenue

Graphic

Consolidated Net Revenue in 2Q23 was R$521.5 million, up 69.3% from 2Q22. This growth was mainly driven by the increase in the number of enrolled students in the DE Undergraduate segment as well as higher average tickets in this segment plus the business combination with UniCesumar.

Graphic

Net Revenue from digital education undergraduate courses in 2Q23 was R$385.0 million, up 57.9% from R$243.9 million in 2Q22. This achievement was primarily driven by the business combination with UniCesumar, the results of the aforementioned expansion and maturation of operational hubs, and a higher consolidated average ticket in this segment as previously presented.

Net Revenue from on-campus undergraduate courses (ex-medical courses) in 2Q23 amounted to R$40.7 million, an increase of 58.8% from R$25.6 million in 2Q22. This increase was primarily due to the business combination with UniCesumar, which historically had a higher representation of its total income from on-campus operations than Uniasselvi. Net Revenue from the whole on-campus undergraduate segment (including UniCesumar’s medical courses) reached R$107.8 million in 2Q23, an increase of 125.5% from R$47.8 million in 2Q22, given the representativeness of UniCesumar’s on-campus activities.

Net Revenue from continuing education courses in 2Q23 was R$28.7 million, up 76.1 % from R$16.3 million in 2Q22. In addition to graduate courses, our continuing education business includes technical courses and professional qualification courses. We believe this is a potential growth area and is part of our strategy to expand complementary offerings throughout our students’ lifelong journey.

Cost of Services

Cost of services in 2Q23 amounted to R$175.6 million, an increase of 48.9 % compared to R$117.9 million in 2Q22, particularly due to the impact of the consolidation of UniCesumar. On the other hand, as a percentage of Net Revenue, a reduction of 4.6 p.p. is notable when comparing 2Q23 with 2Q22, mainly due to a decrease in the cost of payroll over Net Revenue, as well as the addition of UniCesumar’s revenue in our consolidated results. We note that the cost of services includes certain restructuring costs, which combined with depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to R$20.5 million in 2Q23 and R$18.2 million in 2Q22.

Cost of services as reported in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation (without the aforementioned restructuring costs and depreciation and amortization expenses) was R$155.1 million in 2Q23 and R$99.7 million in 2Q22, representing a year-over-year increase of 55.6%, and a decrease of 2.7 p.p. as a percentage of Net Revenue, mainly due to the aforementioned reduction in the ratio between payroll costs and net revenue, which was accomplished due to synergies and the gains of scale after the business combination with UniCesumar.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross Profit in 2Q23 was R$345.9 million, an increase of 82.0% compared to R$190.1 million in 2Q22, which was primarily due to the contribution of UniCesumar to our consolidated figures and the aforementioned decrease in our Cost of Services over the consolidated Net Revenue. Gross Margin increased 4.6 p.p. from 61.7% to 66.3% in 2Q23, which was primarily attributable to the decrease in overall Cost of Services as a percentage of Net Revenue, for the aforementioned reasons including the decrease of the payroll cost ratio.

Operating Expenses

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses in 2Q23 amounted to R$78.7 million, an increase of 88.3% compared to R$41.8 million in 2Q22. In addition to the contribution of UniCesumar to our consolidated figures (including the amortization expenses of certain intangible assets arising from the Purchase Price Allocation related to the business combination with UniCesumar), this increase is primarily attributable to our focus on our Digital Education segment, which led to increased selling expenses with online advertising aimed at attracting new students.

Selling expenses as reported in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation (i.e., excluding depreciation and amortization expenses) amounted to R$64.8 million in 2Q23 and R$35.7 million in 2Q22, representing a year-on-year increase of 81.5%. As a percentage of Net Revenue, consolidated Selling Expenses for Adjusted EBITDA calculation increased from 11.6% in 2Q22 to 12.4% in 2Q23. This increase is mainly caused by the aforementioned focus on Digital Education, and the fact that in 2Q22 the consolidation of UniCesumar within Vitru started only on May 20, a day after which the marketing efforts for the first intake cycle of the year are less relevant.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in 2Q23 amounted to R$60.7 million, a reduction of 14.4%, compared to 2Q22. This was primarily due to the reduction of the carried amount of M&A and pre-offering expenses in the quarter, mainly due to the closing of UniCesumar’s business combination in 2Q22. We note that the General and Administrative Expenses include certain restructuring costs, which combined with depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to R$34.8 million in 2Q23 and R$49.2 million in 2Q22, which include amortizations of certain intangible assets arising from the Purchase Price Allocation.

G&A expenses as reported in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation amounted to R$25.9 million in 2Q23 and R$21.7 million in 2Q22, representing an increase of 19.4%, which reflects the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results in our financial statements. G&A expenses as reported in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation reached 5.0% of Net Revenue in 2Q23, a decrease of 2.0 p.p. compared to 7.0% of Net Revenue in 2Q22, which was attributable to the reduction in our overall administrative personnel expenses, when compared to the consolidated net revenue, given synergies (mainly in personnel expenses) and gains of scale following the business combination with UniCesumar.

Net Impairment Losses on Financial Assets

Net impairment losses on financial assets represent the provisions for doubtful accounts (PDA). In 2Q23, PDA expenses were R$79.7 million, which represents 15.3% of the Net Revenue in the period, while in 2Q22 PDA expenses amounted to R$38.6 million, equivalent to 12.5% of the Net Revenue. This increase of 2.8 p.p. in our PDA expenses as a percentage of Net Revenue in 2Q23 compared to 2Q22 was primarily due to the high intake growth in previous quarters since most of our bad debt is related to newly enrolled students, and the provision is recognized in the 12 months after the revenue recognition. It is important to highlight that UniCesumar has more effective onboarding and retention processes and procedures than Uniasselvi, which we believe represent a solid opportunity in the medium term for synergies via the broader use of such best practices for both brands, improving our consolidated PDA levels. Besides, the current macroeconomic environment in Brazil has also impacted the consumption and payment capacity of our target clientele, comprised of the low-to-middle classes of the country.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q23 amounted to R$202.4 million, an increase of 73.0% from R$117.0 million in 2Q22. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 38.8%, a 0.8 p.p. increase compared to 38.0% for 2Q22. This year-on-year increase in the Adjusted EBITDA reflects mainly the contribution of UniCesumar’s results to our consolidated results, as well as the improvement of our operational results reflecting the success of the combined operations of Uniasselvi and UniCesumar.

Notes: (i) all figures in this graph include the adjustments applied in our definition of Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) PDA is defined as “Net impairment losses on financial assets” in our Financial Statements.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income in 2Q23 was R$123.4 million, an increase of 94.6% compared to 2Q22. This year-on-year increase reflects the growth in Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q23 compared to 2Q22 as previously described, boosted by the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results within Vitru.

Cash Flow and Cash Conversion from Operations

Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations amounted to R$160.6 million in 2Q23, an increase of 119.4% compared to 2Q22. This substantial improvement in cash flow generation was primarily a result of the contribution of UniCesumar’s results to our consolidated figures: UniCesumar has certain characteristics, such as more positive working capital dynamics in the DE Undergraduate segment and the strength of its medical business, which make it a strong contributor to our consolidated cash flow generation.

Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations amounted to 86.7% in 2Q23, representing an increase of 3.5 p.p. compared to the conversion ratio achieved in 2Q22. This increased performance was mainly caused by a general improvement in our organic operating results and the contribution of UniCesumar (a strong cash-flow provider) to our consolidated numbers for a full quarter in 2Q23.

(2)The Company calculates Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations as adjusted cash flow from operations (which we calculate as cash from operations plus income tax paid) divided by Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above but without taking non-recurring expenses, related to M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring expenses, into consideration). Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations is a non-GAAP measure. The calculation of Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations may be different from the calculation used by other companies, including competitors in the industry, and therefore, the Company’s measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.

Indebtedness

In May 2022, Vitru Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio S.A. (Vitru Brasil), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vitru Ltd., completed the issuance of two series of simple, secured, non-convertible debentures (Brazilian bonds denominated in R$) in an offering with restricted distribution efforts directed solely at professional investors in Brazil. The two series of debentures amounted to R$1.95 billion at interest rates indexed to the CDI (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário) for a five-year term in total, in connection with the business combination with UniCesumar, as follows:

Series 1 1st Debentures: R$0.5 billion (final maturity on May 15, 2024); and
Series 2 1st Debentures: R$1.45 billion (final maturity on May 15, 2027).

Among our obligations under the indenture governing this issuance, one of the main covenants to which we are subject is to maintain our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (Graphic) at a figure no greater than the following:

4.5x in June 2023;
4.0x in December 2023;
3.5x in June 2024; and
3.0x in December 2024.

Once the covenant began to apply (from June 2023 onwards), the figures for this calculation are on an ex-IFRS 16 basis. The following table summarizes our net debt position as of June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Furthermore, on May 5, 2023, we announced the issuance by Vitru Brasil of its second secured, non-convertible debentures in an offering with restricted distribution efforts directed solely at professional investors in Brazil. The series of debentures amounted to R$190 million at interest rates indexed to the CDI (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário) for a five-year term in total (final maturity on May 5, 2028). The amount raised with this new debentures issuance will be used for extending the Company’s average maturity term in its indebtedness, as well as for general working capital purposes.

CAPEX

Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) in 2Q23 totaled R$34.6 million, an increase of 132.2% compared to the amount spent in 2Q22. This increase was mainly due to the consolidation of UniCesumar capital expenditures into our results, which included investments both in property and equipment and intangible assets, aligned with the expansion of our business.

The planned synergies in content production and in the expansion process of Vitru with hubs from both brands are being completed as planned after the business combination with UniCesumar. As part of the process, the consolidation of investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment at UniCesumar, resulted in an increase of 1.8 p.p. in 2Q23 of capital expenditures over Net Revenue when compared to the same period in 2022. Vitru believes that capital expenditure can be further optimized during the integration of both companies.

ABOUT VITRU (NASDAQ: VTRU)

VITRU is the leading pure-player in the private post-secondary digital education market in Brazil based on the number of enrolled undergraduate students, according to the most recent INEP census released by the Brazilian Ministry of Education (Ministério da Educação), in February 2022.

Vitru has been listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the United States (ticker symbol: VTRU) since September 18, 2020, and its mission is to democratize access to education in Brazil through a digital ecosystem and empower every student to create their own successful story.

Through its subsidiaries, Vitru provides a complete pedagogical ecosystem focused on a hybrid distance learning experience for undergraduate and continuing education students. All the academic content is delivered in multiple formats (videos, eBooks, podcasts and html text, among others) through its proprietary Virtual Learning Environment, or VLE. The pedagogical model also incorporates in-person weekly meetings hosted by dedicated tutors who are mostly local working professionals in the subject area they teach. The Company believes that this unique tutor-centric learning experience sets it apart, creating a stronger sense of community and belonging and contributing to higher engagement and retention rates of its student base.

The Company’s results are based on three operating segments:

Digital education undergraduate courses. What differentiates Vitru’s digital education model are the higher quality and its hybrid methodology with synchronous learning, which consists of weekly in-person or online meetings with tutors for Uniasselvi, and weekly online classes for UniCesumar students, alongside the benefit of the virtual learning environment, where students are able to study where and when they prefer. The Company’s portfolio of courses is composed mainly of pedagogy, business administration, accounting, physical education, vocational, engineering, and health-related courses.
On-campus undergraduate courses. Vitru (through Uniasselvi and UniCesumar) has several campuses that offer traditional on-campus undergraduate courses, including medical, engineering, law, and health-related courses. On-campus students experience a complete learning ecosystem, mixing theory with practical applications as well as access to sports activities and cultural events.
Continuing education courses. Vitru (through Uniasselvi and UniCesumar) offers continuing education and graduate courses predominantly in pedagogy, finance, and business, but also in other subjects such as law, engineering, IT and health-related courses. Courses are offered in three different versions, consisting of (i) hybrid model, (ii) 100% online, and (iii) on-campus. This also includes technical courses and professional qualification courses.

These documents are available on the SEC Filings section of the investor relations section of our website at investors.vitru.com.br.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board—IASB, VITRU uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations, and Net Debt information which are non-GAAP financial measures, for the convenience of the investment community. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure.

VITRU calculates Adjusted EBITDA as the net income (loss) for the period plus:

deferred and current income tax, which is calculated based on income, adjusted based on certain additions and exclusions provided for in applicable legislation. The income taxes in Brazil consist of corporate income tax (Imposto de Renda Pessoa Jurídica), or IRPJ, and CSLL, which are social contribution taxes;
financial results, which consist of interest expenses less interest income;
depreciation and amortization;

interest on tuition fees paid in arrears, which refers to interest received from students on late payments of monthly tuition fees and which is added back;
impairment of non-current assets, which consists of impairment charges associated with the on-campus undergraduate courses segment, given the deterioration in the prospects of this business;
share-based compensation plan, which consists of non-cash expenses related to the grant of share-based compensation, as well as fair value adjustments for share-based compensation expenses classified as a liability in the consolidated financial statements;
other income (expenses), net, which consists of other expenses such as contractual indemnities and deductible donations among others; and
M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring expenses, which consists of adjustments that the Company believes are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-recurring items. Such M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring expenses comprise: mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, and pre-offering expenses, which are expenses related to mergers, acquisitions and divestments (including due diligence, transaction and integration costs), as well as the expenses related to the preparation of offerings; and restructuring expenses, which refers to expenses related to employee severance costs in connection with organizational and academic restructurings.

VITRU calculates Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) for the period plus:

share-based compensation plan, as defined above;
M&A, pre-offering expenses, and restructuring expenses, as defined above;
impairment of non-current assets, as defined above;
amortization of intangible assets recognized as a result of business combinations, which refers to the amortization of the following intangible assets from business combinations: software, trademark, distance learning operation licenses, non-compete agreements, customer relationship, teaching-learning material, licenses to operate medical courses, and leasing contracts. For more information, see notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;
interest accrued at the original effective interest rate (excluding restatement as a result of inflation) on the accounts payable from the acquisition of subsidiaries. See notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and
corresponding tax effects on adjustments, which represents the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from adjusted net income (loss). The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from adjusted net income (loss) is computed using the statutory rate related to the jurisdiction that was affected by the adjustment after taking into account the effect of permanent differences and valuation allowances.

VITRU calculates Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations as adjusted cash flow from operations (which is calculated as cash from operations plus income tax paid) divided by Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above but without taking M&A, pre-offering expenses, and restructuring expenses into consideration).

VITRU calculates Net Debt (ex-IFRS 16) as the sum of loans and financing, payables from acquisition of subsidiaries, and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations, and Net Debt are the key performance indicators used by Vitru to measure the financial performance and condition of its core operations, and Vitru believes that these measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. As a result, its management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to the investment community. These summarized, non-audited, or non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations, and Net Debt may be different from the calculations used by other companies, including competitors in the education services industry, and therefore, Vitru’s measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations, and Net Debt to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see the tables at the end of this document.

Vitru Limited

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

June 30, 2023 and 2022.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, except as otherwise indicated)

1.Corporate information

Vitru Limited (“Vitru”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Group”) is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on March 05, 2020 and whose shares are publicly traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations exchange (NASDAQ) under the ticker symbol “VTRU”.

Until the contribution of Vitru Brasil shares to Vitru Limited, in September 2020, Vitru Limited did not have commenced operations and had only nominal assets and liabilities and no material contingent liabilities or commitments. Accordingly, Vitru Limited’s consolidated financial information substantially reflect the operations of Vitru Brazil after the corporate reorganization.

Vitru is a holding company whose principal shareholders are Vinci Partners, through the investments funds “Vinci Capital Partners II FIP Multiestratégia”, “Agresti Investments LLC”, “Botticelli Investments LLC”, Caravaggio Investments LLC”,  Raffaello Investments LLC”, the SPX Carlyle Group, through the investment fund “Mundi Holdings I LLC”, “Mundi Holdings II LLC”, Neuberger Berman, through the investment fund “NB Verrochio LP”, and Crescera, through the investment fund “Crescera Growth Capital Master V Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia”, and “Crescera Growth Capital Coinvestimento III Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia”.

The Company is principally engaged in providing educational services in Brazil, mainly undergraduate and continuing education courses, presentially through campuses, or via distance learning, through 2,301 (December 31, 2022 –2,170) learning centers (“hubs”) across the country.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August, 10th, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company short-term liabilities are R$ 320,811 higher than its short-term assets, hence presenting a negative net working capital position. The Group's capital structure was impacted by its growth strategy, both organically and through acquisitions, in particular the acquisition of Unicesumar.

The Company is confident in its ability to keep serving its operational and financial responsibilities, given the resilience of its business model, the robust generation of operational cash flow, the strength of its credit capacity and its strong relationship with top-tier banks, including approved and available credit lines.

1.1.Significant events during the period

a)Seasonality

The distance learning undergraduate courses are structured around separate monthly modules. This enables students to enroll in distance learning courses at any time during a semester. Despite this flexibility, generally a higher number of enrollments in distance learning courses occurs in the first and third quarters of each year. These periods coincide with the beginning of academic semesters in Brazil. Furthermore, there is a higher number of enrollments at the beginning of the first semester of each year than at the beginning of the second semester of each year. In order to attract and encourage potential new students to enroll in undergraduate courses later in the semester, the Group often offers discounts, generally equivalent to the number of months that have passed in the semester. As a result, given revenue from semiannual contracts are recorded over the time in a semester, revenue is generally higher in the second and fourth quarters of each year, as additional students enroll in later in the semester. Revenue is also higher later in the semester due to lower dropout rates during that same period.

b)Share-based compensation (Note 20)

In the period between February and June 2023, Stock Options Program (SOP) participants realized 121,304 purchases options, thus ending the Company's purchase obligation, and changing the SOP from cash settled into equity settled. The impact caused by this operation was a reversal of R$ 7,804 in liabilities and a constitution of reserve in equity of R$ 2,554.

c)Issue of debenture bonds (Note 14)

On May 5th, 2023, the company issued a new series of debentures through its subsidiary Vitru Brasil, in the amount of R$ 190,000 comprising 190,000 bonds maturing between May 2025 and May 2028 The nominal value of the bonds is R$ 1,000.00.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

June 30, 2023 and 2022.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, except as otherwise indicated)

2.Basis of preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2023, and for the three months ended June 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The information does not meet all disclosure requirements for the presentation of full annual consolidated financial statements and thus should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous fiscal year and corresponding interim reporting period. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (“R$”), and all amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units unless otherwise stated.

There were no changes since December 31, 2022 in the accounting practices adopted for consolidation and in the direct and indirect interests of the Company in its subsidiaries for the purposes of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.1.Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group requires management to make judgments and estimates and to adopt assumptions that affect the amounts presented referring to revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the reporting date. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that are set the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

2.2.Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year-end.

3.Business combinations

On August 23, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement with the shareholders of CESUMAR - Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda, or “Unicesumar”, to acquire the entire share capital of Unicesumar. The transaction was closed on May 20, 2022 (transaction date), when the consideration provided for in the purchase and sale agreement was transferred and control of Unicesumar was transferred to the Company, after usual conditions precedent, including appreciation by a regulatory agency antitrust and other regulatory approvals.

Unicesumar is a leading and fast-growing higher education institution in Brazil focused on the distance learning market, founded 30 years ago in Maringá - Paraná. Unicesumar has 999 centers and approximately 331 thousand students, of which 314 thousand are in digital education. Unicesuma also has significant on-site courses in the health area, mainly Medicine, with more than 1,600 students in the 348 courses.

The acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method where the consideration transferred and the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were measured at fair value, while goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration paid over those items.

The assumptions, critical judgments, methods and hypotheses used by the Company to determine the fair value of the intangible assets identified in the business combination were as follows:

i.Customer relationships: Valued using the MEEM method (“Multi-period Excess Earnings Method”), which is based on a calculation of discounting cash flows from future economic benefits attributable to the customer base, net of eliminations of the implied contribution obligations. The remaining useful life of the customer base was estimated by analyzing the average duration of courses of each segment.

The main assumptions used in assessing the customer relationships were:

a.Revenue: Projected in accordance with historical data obtained by the Company, and expectations observed in competition tendencies related to course offering and geographic coverage.
b.Costs and expenses: Projected in accordance with historical data obtained by the Company and expectations of normalization of the operating margin in the long term and operating synergies to be realized by the merger of Unicesumar’s operations within the Company.
c.Tax rate: 34%, pursuant to Brazilian tax legislation; and
d.After-tax discount rate: the after-tax discount rate was applied properly on each Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”), due to their differences in regards to risk assessment and each CGU’s discount rate.
ii.Brand: Valued using the Relief from Royalty method. The method determines the value of an intangible asset based on the value of hypothetical royalty payments that would be saved through owning the asset, compared to licensing the asset to a third party. It involves the estimation of generating future cash flows to the business for the greatest possible deadline.

The main assumptions used in assessing the brand were:

a.Remaining useful life: Adopted as the point where the discounted cash flows reach 90% of the total projected value.
b.Royalties’ percentage: Estimated as 3.48%, but applied for each segment, depending on the expected margin of each CGU.
iii.Non-Compete Agreement: Valued using the With-or-Without method. This method uses the profit or loss originated from the projection of the business as a whole.

The main assumptions used in assessing the brand were:

a.Revenue: Considers a revenue loss for the first 4 years. For the following years, it’s expected that the sellers are already part of the market.
b.Competition probability: Different assumptions for each CGU:

• Digital and Continuing Education – 85% due to the relative easiness to reach the student (virtually).

• On-Campus Undergraduate Courses – 50%, due to the necessity of a more robust physical structure to accommodate the students.

iv.Software: Valued using the Replacement Cost method. Management estimated the costs related to the development of systems with similar characteristics using providers external to Unicesumar. Because it is an auxiliary asset in generating cash from other intangible assets when applying the MEEM approach (in this case, only Customer Relationships), through the Costs of Contributing Assets.

The main assumptions used in assessing the software were:

a.Remaining useful life: 5 years.
b.Taxes: Applied the effective average rate of income taxes for the Company.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, except as otherwise indicated)

v.Teaching-Learning Material: Valued using the Replacement Cost method. Management estimated the costs related to the development of similar products, as well as the degree of obsolescence (75)%. Because it is an auxiliary asset in generating cash from other intangible assets when applying the MEEM approach (in this case, only Customer Relationships), through the Costs of Contributing Assets.

The main assumptions used in assessing the teaching-learning material were:

a.Remaining useful life: 3 years.
b.Taxes: Applied the effective average rate of income taxes for the Company.
vi.Operation licenses for distance learning: Valued using the With-or-Without method. This method uses the profit or loss originated from the projection of the business as a whole.

The main assumptions used in assessing the operation licenses for distance learning were:

a.Discount rate: The applied discount rate was WACC for each CGU.
b.Estimated useful life: It’s assumed that the effects of not relying on the operation licenses from the beginning, having the need to construct the network, will be seen indefinitely.
c.Operation: The operating licenses is given through authorization, that gives to Unicesumar the right to operate in a determined geographical area, which, in some cases, comes through a local partner. However, each authorization allows Unicesumar to change partner in each area, if necessary, substituting the structure for an equivalent one. Partners are not attached to the authorizations.
vii.Leasing contracts: Valued using the Cost Savings method, that consists of calculating the savings measured by the Company, corrected by the duration of the contract by a discount rate.

The main assumptions used in assessing the leasing contracts were:

a.After-tax discount rate: the after-tax discount rate was applied properly on each Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”), due to their differences regarding risk assessment and each CGU’s discount rate.
b.Remaining useful life: Based on the duration of the leasing contract: 20 years.
viii.Licenses to operate medical courses: Valued using the Income Approach method, with an emphasis on marginal fluctuations to the projected CGUs.

The main assumptions used in assessing the licenses to operate medical courses include the initial process of enrolling a student (duration, new students, evasion, graduation), amount of the course, profitability, investments and working capital, as well as growth in perpetuity.

The goodwill amount is based mainly on the workforce and its synergies from academic, commercial, and costs perspectives, considering that we are adding up the 15-year experience and track-record of both institutions as leading players in Digital Education, which is allowing us to improve even further the high-quality services to our students and to sustain our differentiated academic delivery.

4.Segment reporting

Segment information is presented consistently with the internal reports provided to the Senior management team, consisting of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and other executives, which is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and is responsible for allocating resources, assessing the performance of the Company's operating segments, and making the Company’s strategic decisions.

In reviewing the operational performance of the Company and allocating resources, the CODM reviews selected items of the statement of profit or loss and of comprehensive income, based on relevant financial data for each of the Company’s operating segments, represented by the Company’s main lines of service from which it generates revenue, as follows:

Digital education undergraduate courses
Continuing education courses
On-campus undergraduate courses

Segment performance is primarily evaluated based on net revenue and on adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). The Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and amortization plus interest received on late payments of monthly tuition fees and adjusted by the elimination of effects from share-based compensation plus/minus exceptional expenses. General and administrative expenses (except for intangible assets’ amortization and impairment expenses), finance results (other than interest on tuition fees paid in arrears) and income taxes are managed on a Company’s consolidated basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

There were no inter-segment revenues in the period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. There were no adjustments or eliminations in the profit or loss between segments.

The CODM do not make strategic decisions or evaluate performance based on geographic regions. Currently, the Company operates solely in Brazil and all the assets, liabilities and results are located in Brazil.

5.Fair value measurement

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has only Share-based compensation liabilities measured at fair value, in the amount of R$ 12,001, which are classified in Level 3 of fair value measurement hierarchy given significant unobservable inputs used.

There were no transfers between Levels during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 for recurring fair value measurements:

The Company assessed that the fair values of financial instruments at amortized cost such as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, current trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Non-current trade receivables, lease liabilities, accounts payable from acquisition of subsidiaries and loans and financing have their carrying amount adjusted by their respective effective interest rate in order to be presented as close as possible to its fair value.

(ii) Cash equivalents are comprised of short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, readily convertible into cash.

(iii) Short-term investments, increased by the proceeds from the IPO, correspond to financial investments in Investment Funds, with highly rated financial institutions. As of June 30, 2023, the average interest on these Investment Funds is 12.93% p.a., corresponding to 94.73% of CDI. Despite the fact these investments have high liquidity and have insignificant risk of changes in value, they do not qualify as cash equivalents given the nature of investment portfolio and their maturity. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, their carrying amount is the same as their fair value.

These receivables bear interests of 1.34% and, given the long term of the installments, they have been discounted at an interbank rate of 2.76%.
(ii)CREDIN is an installment payment program from Unicesumar where the undergraduate students receive a deduction from gross tuition The deduction is based on a fixed percentage determined at the beginning of the contract and, after graduation, the students pay back the deduction applied during the student’s undergraduate program, by applying the same percentage on the current value of tuition.

Cancellations consist of deductions of the revenue to adjust it to the extension it is probable that it will not be reversed, generally related to students that have not attended classes and do not recognize the service provided or are dissatisfied with the services being provided. A provision for cancellation is estimated using the expected value method, which considers accumulated experience and is updated at the end of each period for changes in expectations.

The Company records the allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables on a monthly basis by analyzing the amounts invoiced in the month, the monthly volume of receivables and the respective outstanding amounts by late payment range, calculating the recovery performance. Under this methodology, the monthly billed amount and each late payment range is assigned a percentage of probability of loss that is accrued for on a recurring basis.

When the delay exceeds 365 days, the receivable is written-off. Even for written-off receivables, collection efforts continue, and their receipt is recognized directly in the statement of profit or loss, when incurred, as recovery of losses.

The Company's higher education companies are included in this program.

(ii) The Company had unused tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences previously unrecognized. Given the continuous growth in Continuing Education activities for the years 2020 and 2019 and recent changes to the structure of its operations, the Company reviewed previously unrecognized tax losses and temporary differences, determining that it is now probable that taxable profits will be available, the tax losses can be utilized and temporary differences can be realized, and that are now expected to be used and realized until 2025.

(iii) Considering that the Company is domiciled in Cayman and there is no income tax in that jurisdiction, the combined tax rate of 34% demonstrated above is the current rate applied to all Company’s subsidiaries, operating entities in Brazil.

18.Equity
a)Authorized capital

The Company is authorized to increase capital up to the limit of 1 billion shares, subject to approval of the Administration.

b)Share capital

As described in Note 1, on September 2, 2020, each of Vitru’s shareholders had agreed to contribute their respective shares on Vitru Brazil to Vitru Limited, exchanging thirty-one common shares into one ordinary share of Vitru Limited.

As a consequence of this reverse share split, the share capital previously represented by 522,315,196 common shares, was reduced to 17,058,053 common shares. As a result of the share split, the Company’s historical financial statements have been revised to reflect number of shares and per share data as if the share split had been in effect for all periods presented.

Additionally, on September 22, 2020, the share capital of the Company was increased by 6,000,000 Class A shares through the proceeds received as a result of the IPO of US$ 96,000 thousand (or R$ 521,558). The net proceeds from the IPO were US$ 90,672 thousand (or R$ 492,612), after deducting share issuance costs amounting R$ 47,582.

On September 27, 2022, the Company announced the investment agreement with Crescera, a leading asset manager with accomplishments in the education sector in Brazil. On November 10, 2022 Crescera subscribed for 3,636,363 new common shares in a fully primary capital increase.

On November 22, 2022, the Company announced the settlement of its previously announced rights offering (the “Rights Offering”). The Rights Offering resulted in the issuance of 926,206 common shares of the Company.

On 2023 the company issued 121,304 new shares regarding the realization of SOP options.

c)Capital reserve

Additional paid-in capital

The additional paid-in capital refers to the difference between the purchase price that the shareholders pay for the shares and their par value.

All distributions are subject to the Cayman Solvency Test which addresses the Company’s ability to pay debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Share based compensation

The capital reserve contains the reserve for share-based compensation programs, classified as settled with equity instruments, as detailed in Note 20.

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognize:

the grant date fair value of options issued to employees but not exercised.
the grant date fair value of shares issued to employees upon exercise of options.

Treasury shares:

Buyback program

On May 11, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a share buyback program.

The Group offers to its managers and executives two Share Option Plans with general conditions for the granting of share options issued by the Company to the participants appointed by the Board of Directors who, at its discretion, fulfill the conditions for participation, thereby aligning the interests of the participants to the interests of its stockholders, so as to maximize the Group's results and increase the economic value of its shares, thus generating benefits for the participants and other stockholders. It also provides participants with a long-term incentive, increasing their motivation and enabling the Group to retain quality human capital.

Participants from both plans have the right to turn all vested options into shares upon payment in cash, paying the Option Exercise Price as defined in the respective program that each participant is associated. The difference between the stipulated price in the program and the fair value of the share at the measurement date is recorded as equity.

Participants from the first plan shall have the right to require the Company to acquire all shares under its ownership to be held in treasury or for cancellation, upon payment, in cash, of the Put Option Exercise Price, for a given period as from the last Vesting Date, provided that no exit event has occurred up to the end of said period.

When all conditions applicable to the buyback of shares provided for in applicable laws and/or regulations are met, the Company shall pay the Participant the price equivalent to a certain amount of multiples of the Company's EBITDA minus the Net Debt, as set forth in each grant program, recorded as a liability.

The expense recognized for employee services received during the period is as follows:
