Review report of quarterly information – ITR
(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission – CVM, prepared in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board – IASB)
To the Shareholders, Board Members and Management of
C&A Modas S.A.
Barueri - SP
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of C&A Modas S.A. (the "Company") included in the Quarterly Information Form – ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which comprises the statement of interim financial position as of March 31, 2026 and the respective statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by CVM - Brazilian Securities Commission, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial 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 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 on the individual and consolidated interim information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to
KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda., uma sociedade simples brasileira, de responsabilidade limitada e firma-membro da organização global KPMG de firmas-membro independentes licenciadas da KPMG International Limited, uma empresa inglesa privada de responsabilidade limitada.
KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda., a Brazilian limited liability company, and member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms licensed of KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.
KPMG
above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards issued by Comissão de Valores Mobiliários.
Other matters
Statements of value added
The quarterly information aforementioned includes the individual and consolidated statements of added value (DVA) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, prepared under responsibility of Company's management, and presented as supplementary information for IAS 34 purposes. These statements were submitted to review procedures carried out together with the review of the Company's interim financial information to conclude whether they are reconciled with interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 Technical Pronouncement - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that those statements were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this Technical Pronouncement with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
Corresponding amounts
The corresponding balances, individual and consolidated, related to the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025 were audited by other independent auditors who issued an unqualified audit report dated February 24, 2026, and to the interim financial information related to the statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, presented as corresponding amounts, were reviewed, respectively, by other independent auditors who issued an unqualified review report dated May 07, 2025. The corresponding amounts related to the statements of added value (DVA), individual and consolidated, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, were submitted to the same review procedures by other independent auditors and, based on their review, nothing had come to their attention that caused them to believe that the statement of value added had not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 Technical Pronouncement - Statement of Added Value with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

C&A
1. Operations
C&A Modas S.A. ("Company" or "Parent Company") has its registered office located at 1222 Alameda Araguaia – Barueri, São Paulo – Brazil. The Company is a publicly-held corporation, holding shares traded on B3 (São Paulo - Brazil) under the ticker "CEAB3" and its Parent Company is COFRA Holding AG, based in Switzerland.
C&A Modas and its subsidiaries, referred to collectively as "C&A", are mainly engaged in the following activities:
Retail trading:
I. Sale of goods in brick-and-mortar stores and online. The portfolio includes apparel, footwear, accessories, watches, jewelry, cosmetics, among others.
Financial services:
I. Intermediation of credit granted to finance purchases.
II. Issuance of credit cards (private label) and granting of personal loans.
III. Intermediation in brokering and promoting the distribution of insurance, saving bonds, and related products offered by insurers and other third-parties offering such products.
IV. Proprietary payment institution activities, which involves processing financial transactions and related services.
C&A sells its goods in 339 stores (340 stores on December 31, 2025), and e-commerce supplied by 3 distribution centers in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Santa Catarina, as well as one logistics operation.
The non-financial data included in these parent company and consolidated financial statements, such as the number of stores and distribution centers, among others, have not been subject to audit or review by our independent auditors.
1.1. Transactions and significant events
1.1.1. Tax reform
C&A has been monitoring the discussions and the evolution of the approved Tax Reform, which brings significant changes to the consumption tax system in Brazil. However, considering that, as of the present date, the sub-constitutional regulation has not yet been completed, as well as the transition periods provided for the implementation of the new model, the Management assessed that there are no measurable impacts that require specific recognition or disclosure in the interim financial information as of March 31, 2026. The potential accounting, financial, and operational impacts resulting from the Tax Reform can only be adequately assessed upon the completion of the regulatory process and the final definition of the applicable rules, including rates, credit regimes, and other operational aspects.
C&A will continue to monitor the evolution of the issue and will assess any effects on the interim financial information of future periods when there are sufficient elements for such remeasurement.

1.1.2. Effects from Complementary Law 224/2025
Complementary Law 224/2025, published on December 26, 2025, enacted a reform in the federal tax incentive policy, covering various economic sectors. The regulation introduced a linear reduction of tax benefits and reinforced criteria for governance, timeliness, and evaluation for the granting and maintenance of incentives. Additionally, the legislation increased the rates of the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL) applicable to fintechs, financial institutions, and other entities equipped with them, effective from April 01, 2026.
In the case of Direct Credit Companies (SCDs), Complementary Law 224/2025 established an increase in the rate of the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL), previously set at 9%, now to be applied in a staggered manner, as follows:
- 12% in the period 04/01/2026–12/31/2027;
- 15% as of 01/01/2028.
Despite the increase in the CSLL, no significant impact is expected for the Company, since SCD C&A Pay does not generate significant income, making the estimated tax effect minimally material in the income (loss).
2. Basis of preparation and presentation of parent company and consolidated interim financial information
C&A’s parent company and consolidated interim financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which comprise accounting pronouncements, guidelines, and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), approved by the Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”), which are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB.
All relevant information specific to the parent company and consolidated financial information, and only such information, is disclosed, and which corresponds to the information used by the Management in C&A’s activities’ management, as Technical Guidance OCPC 07 (R1).
The issuance of parent company and consolidated interim financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was authorized by the Board Members on May 05, 2026.
2.1. Measurement basis and going concern assumption
The parent company and consolidated interim financial information have been prepared based on the historical cost, except for certain financial instruments and derivative financial instruments measured at fair value, and based on the going concern assumption of the operations of the consolidated companies.
Notes to the parent company and consolidated interim financial information
March 31, 2026 and 2025
Management assessed the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern and believes that they have the necessary resources to allow the going concern of its business for the future. Additionally, Management is not aware of any material uncertainty that may generate significant doubts about its ability to continue operating. Thus, this parent company and consolidated financial information have been prepared on the going concern basis.
2.2. Functional and presentation currency
The parent company and consolidated interim financial information is being presented in thousands of reais, functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency in force on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into the foreign exchange rate of the functional currency in force on the date of statement of financial position. All differences are reported in the statement of profit or loss.
2.3. Consolidation basis
The consolidated financial information includes the operations of the Company, its subsidiaries, and the FIDC C&A Pay investment fund, considering that C&A Modas is the sole holder of the shares and is exposed to the risks and rewards of the fund.
The fiscal year of the subsidiaries is the same as that of the parent company, and accounting practices are applied uniformly. All transactions are fully eliminated in the consolidation.
| Direct subsidiaries | Indirect subsidiaries | Investment fund | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest | Orion | C&A Pay Holding | C&A Pay SCD | C&A Pay FIDC |
| 03/31/2026 | 99.99% | 99.99% | 99.99% | 100.00% |
| 12/31/2025 | 99.99% | 99.99% | 99.99% | 100.00% |
2.4. Statement of value added - SVA
The presentation of the Statement of Value Added (SVA), parent company and consolidated, is required by the Brazilian Accounting Standard NBC TG 09 (corresponding to the technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added - applicable to publicly-held companies. The IFRS do not require the presentation of this statement. Consequently, according to IFRS, this statement is presented as supplementary information, without prejudice to the set of interim financial information. The purpose of the SVSA is to disclose the wealth generated by C&A during the quarter, and demonstrates how such value was distributed among the various agents.
2.5. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of Company's parent company and consolidated interim financial information requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the
11
amounts presented for revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including the disclosure of contingent liabilities assumed. However, uncertainty relating to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the book value of certain assets and liabilities in future years. The accounting practices that require the highest level of judgment and complexity, as well as those for which estimates and assumptions are significant, are:
(a) determination of useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;
(b) analysis of recovery of values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;
(c) estimated losses on doubtful accounts;
(d) estimated losses in inventories;
(e) realization of deferred income and social contribution tax assets;
(f) provision for tax, civil and labor risks;
(g) determination of fair value of derivative financial instruments;
(h) provision for restoring stores to their original condition;
(i) short- and long-term incentives granted to employees – estimate of target achievement and pricing based on mathematical models;
(j) determination of the incremental interest rates and term of the leases to be used for accounting the cash flows of lease liabilities.
3. Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this parent company and consolidated interim financial information, are presented in the respective notes and were duly approved by the Company's Management.
3.1. New or reviewed pronouncements applied for the first time in 2026
Management assessed the standards, guidelines, and accounting pronouncements that came into effect for the first time starting from the current period beginning on January 1, 2026.

Notes to the parent company and consolidated interim financial information
March 31, 2026 and 2025
3.2. New pronouncements, but not yet effective
(a) Standard IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements
The standard aims to enhance the presentation of financial statements, with special emphasis on the statement of profit or loss, by requiring the classification of revenues and expenses into the following categories: operating activities, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations.
Furthermore, the standard requires the disclosure, through Notes, of performance measures defined by Management — subtotals of revenues and expenses that are not specified in the draft or in other pronouncements, interpretations, or guidelines issued by the CPC and IFRS — but that are used in public communications to express Management’s perspective on certain aspects of the entity’s financial performance.
The standard also introduces new principles for the aggregation and disaggregation of information, both in the presentation of the financial statements and in the respective notes.
Standard will become effective on January 1, 2027. The Company is assessing the requirements and preparing for the implementation of this change.
There are no IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet in effect that could have a significant impact on the interim financial information of the Company or its subsidiaries.
4. Financial instruments and risk management
4.1. Financial instruments - Accounting policy
A financial instrument is an agreement that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Essentially, they are financial instruments that confer a right or an obligation, such as stocks, debt securities, derivatives, among others.
The Company adopts the accounting policy of classifying interest paid on leases, loans, and financing, as well as dividends and interest on own capital, as cash flows from financing activities, as presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.
4.1.1. Classification of financial instruments
The classification depends on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows and on the business model for the management of these financial instruments. At C&A, they are classified as:
I. Amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost include: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and judicial deposits. Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment.
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and in the case of loans and financings, include directly related transaction costs. The subsequent measurement depends on its classification. In the case of suppliers, loans, accounts payable with related parties, and leases payable are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
II. Fair value through profit or loss
Include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held-for-trading if they are acquired with the purpose of sale in the short term. This category includes investments in securities held for trading and swap operations aimed at protecting loans in foreign currency.
III. Fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets and liabilities classified in this category are derivative transactions to which hedge accounting applies. It also includes investments in government securities held as available for sale or for receiving contractual interest. C&A adopts hedge accounting and assigns futures contracts (NDF) as cash flow hedges. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on the exchange rate and interest rate curve.
4.1.2. Categories of financial instruments and their values
The accounting balances of financial assets and liabilities and the measurement criteria are presented according to the following categories:
(a) Level 1 - Traded prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(b) Level 2 - different inputs of the prices negotiated in active markets included at Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
(c) Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).
4.1.3. Financial instruments and fair value
The fair values of the C&A's financial assets and liabilities were assessed at December 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, using the hierarchy in the level 2 category, which corresponds to significant observable input.
C&A does not have financial instruments measured at fair value classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Thus, no additional disclosures related to this level are presented, as there are no use of unobservable inputs in the measurement of its financial instruments.
14
The derivative financial instruments designated in hedging operations are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is signed, and are subsequently reassessed also at fair value.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is initially recorded directly in shareholders' equity or other comprehensive income, while any ineffective portion is recognized in financial income (loss).

4.2. Financial risk management
Due to its activities, C&A is exposed to certain financial risks, among which the following stand out:
I. market, including foreign exchange and interest rate risk;
II. credit and;
III. liquidity.
These risks are assessed and managed continuously and systematically, in accordance with the limits, guidelines, and procedures established in the Company's financial policies, with the aim of mitigating any adverse impacts on its financial position, cash flow, and income (loss).
Hedge instruments are contracted exclusively to protect cash flow against mismatches.
The Company's Treasury department is responsible for identifying, assessing, and seeking protection against potential financial risks. The Management approves the financial policies that establish the principles and standards for global risk management, the areas involved in these activities, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and the allocation of surplus cash and currency;
4.2.1. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will float due to changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, exchange risk, and price risk, that may be from commodities, shares, among others. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and financing, cash equivalents and other financial assets, investments in debt and derivative financial instruments.
4.2.1.1. Interest rate risk
C&A is exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates, which may impact the return on its short-term assets and its financial liabilities indexed to the CDI.
C&A seeks to keep the interest rate indexers of its assets and liabilities the same, in order to reduce the impact of the risk of changes in the interest rate. Today, 100% of operations are in the credit and capital markets, predominantly in fixed-income instruments indexed to the CDI.
The Management continuously analyzes exposure to interest rates, comparing contracted rates to those currently in the market and simulating refinancing scenarios and calculating the impact on income (loss).
Tests were conducted considering scenarios for the next disclosure with the aim of demonstrating the effect of the fluctuation of this indexer on the income (loss). The interest rates for the probable scenario were obtained from the reference rates on the B3 website on March 27, 2026 (annualized CDI 14.53%).

Finance income, shown net of PIS and COFINS (4.65%), considers an average earning of 100.71% of the CDI in the first quarter of 2026 at the Parent Company (during the first quarter of 2025: 100.24%) and 100.42% of CDI in consolidated (during the first quarter of 2025: 100.18%). For loans and debentures, 111.60% of the CDI is considered (during 1Q25: 114.11%).
4.2.1.2. Foreign exchange risk
Exchange rate risk exists in future commercial operations generated mainly by imports of goods and loans contracted abroad denominated in US dollars. Foreign exchange risk management guidelines are defined by the C&A's Board of Directors and subsequently submitted for analysis and appraisal by the Audit, Risks and Finance Committee.
Import of goods: C&A hedges the outstanding balance of its imports against exchange-rate changes by contracting Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) for highly probable budgeted purchases. Contracting based on the FOB value of the goods limits exchange rate exposure and its effect on price composition. When purchases are nationalized, taxes are levied that do not belong to the hedge object defined in the NDF contract.
In the table below, we highlight the exposure to exchange-rate change related to orders issued not covered by the hedging instrument and non-recoverable taxes on the clearance of goods for which C&A is not protected. C&A is sensitive to any changes in the 25% to 50% level, indicating a deterioration in C&A's financial situation as a result of an increase in the dollar exchange rate.
The dollar exchange rate used in the sensitivity analysis was taken from the FOCUS report released by Bacen on March 27, 2026. The estimation of the scenarios was adopted according to CVM Instruction 475/08.

(a) The percentage of 36% of non-recoverable taxes on the NDFs was determined based on the import tax percentages (35%, on average) and the non-recoverable percentage of COFINS on imports (1%).
Derivative financial instruments - Designated to hedge accounting (parent company and consolidated)
C&A uses derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks arising from exposure to foreign currency. It enters into hedge operations to protect itself against the currency risk arising from import orders not yet paid; and for this reason, it designates them as cash flow hedge.
The effective and unsettled portion of the change in the fair value of designated derivatives and qualified as cash flow hedge is recognized in shareholders' equity as equity valuation adjustments in other comprehensive income. This installment is realized when the risk for which the derivative was contracted is eliminated. This happens in two stages: in the nationalization of the goods and in the settlement of financial instruments. At these times, previously deferred gains and losses in shareholders' equity are transferred and included in the initial asset cost measurement and in financial income (loss), respectively.

4.2.2. Credit risk
I. Cash and cash equivalents: According to the C&A's policy, cash and cash equivalents should be invested in financial institutions classified as low credit risk.
II. Receivables: C&A has its own card called C&A Pay, which is operated by the subsidiary SCD - C&A Pay. SCD assigns the receivables to FIDC - C&A Pay, whose sole shareholder is C&A Modas (see Note 7).
The expected losses from C&A Pay operations are determined by C&A based on internal studies for the remeasurement of loss percentages according to the stages and the time of delay, considering the probability and exposure to default and actual loss for each delay range. Changes in the macroeconomic environment and shifts in the customer profile may influence the level of expected loss.
The credit risk of C&A's sales transactions is mitigated as receivables from the sale of goods and services are intermediated by credit card companies, and the risk is fully borne by them.
Management believes that the estimates used in the provision for expected losses are sufficient to cover possible credit losses in the customer portfolio.
4.2.3. Liquidity risk
Based on the operation's cash cycle, Management has approved a minimum cash policy to:
I. Ensure resources for the continuity of operational management in times of uncertainty;
II. Ensure the execution of the investment and expansion strategy; and
III. Observe the maintenance of the dividend distribution policy.
Management continuously monitors the forecasts of the C&A's liquidity requirements to ensure there is enough cash to meet operational needs, investment plans, and financial obligations.
C&A invests excess cash in financial assets with floating interest rates and daily liquidity (CDBs from financial institutions, repurchase agreements and private credit investment funds that comply with the investment policy approved by Management).
The chart below summarizes the maturity profile of C&A's consolidated contracted financial liabilities and lease liabilities (nominal value with future interest):

4.3. Capital management
The objective of C&A's capital management is to ensure an adequate financing structure to sustain and grow its operations.
The Company manages its capital structure by adjusting it to prevailing economic conditions through a combination of equity and debt. In this context, C&A continuously monitors its level of indebtedness, seeking to maintain financial indicators consistent with its strategy, risk profile, and cash generation capacity.
There was no change in the objectives, policies or processes of capital structure in the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

5. Cash and cash equivalents
5.1. Accounting policy
Cash equivalents are maintained for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. C&A considers cash equivalents, a financial investment readily convertible, redeemable with the issuer itself into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change of value. Consequently, an investment normally qualifies as cash equivalent when it has short-term maturity; for example, three months or less, as of the transaction date.

7. Accounts receivable
7.1. Accounting policy
Accounts receivable are presented at their realizable amounts, net of the present value adjustment and expected losses calculated according to the criteria established by CPC 48 and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. These balances comprise amounts receivable from the sale of goods to customers, made through third-party credit cards and through the company's own digital card provided via C&A Pay.
Installment sales are subject to present value adjustment on the date of the interim financial information, using market rates that reflect the Company's risk spread. As of March 31, 2026, the average rate applied was 1.15% p.m. (1.17% p.m. as of December 31, 2025), and the realization of the adjustment is recognized as sales revenue.
C&A measures expected credit losses (ECL) based on the simplified CPC 48 and IFRS 9 model, which does not consider customer-by-customer risk and credit assessment; instead, it considers the mass portfolio based on historical data, economic projections, continuous risk assessment, and future estimates of credit behavior, recognizing them over the life of financial assets.
The methodology includes both active balances and unused credit limits. Overdue credits with no expectation of recovery are written off as losses (write-off) after 721 days of default, with the reversal of previously established provisions.
In the context of credit renegotiations, C&A applies specific policies for customers with payment difficulties, adjusting the terms according to the credit profile. The renegotiated operations are classified in Stage 3 in the receivables portfolio, impacting the provisioning for expected losses. In these cases, the remeasurement starts to consider the expected new cash flow and the associated risk.
7.2. Breakdown of accounts receivable
The table below details the breakdown of accounts receivable, segmented between card operators, C&A Pay digital card operations, and other categories. The balance of accounts receivable is influenced by the seasonality of the business activity.

| Total | 1,016,679 | 1,214,130 |
7.3.2. Management of credit loss risks
C&A adopts a credit granting policy aligned with the governance and portfolio management guidelines established by Management and has a financial services executive committee to regulate and supervise operations. It aims to minimize default through mechanisms to control this risk, such as the use of specialized credit analysis tools, access to databases, credit concession management, as well as monitoring and management of receivables processes. The combination of these factors resulted, in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, in total recoveries of R$15,649 from delinquent operations that are still in active portfolio between 61 and 720 days overdue (R$22,864 in the year ended December 31, 2025).
These practices ensure effective credit risk management, keeping C&A's financial services operations within acceptable levels of exposure and safeguarding the quality and sustainability of our credit operations.
7.3.3. Stages and components of expected losses in loan operations
The expected loss estimates are calculated according to the composition of the credit portfolio classified by stage, which represent different levels of credit risk and reflect the evolution of defaults in the portfolio, adjusting according to the historical recoverability of the loans.
25

☑ Probability of Default (PD): This refers to the probability that a debtor will not be able to meet their financial obligations in a given period.
☑ Exposure at Default (EAD): Refers to the monetary value that will be exposed when default occurs, including the principal balance, accrued interest, and unused available balances.
☑ Loss Given Default (LGD): Refers to the expectation of loss once default has been characterized, considering a specific percentage of the total value of the problematic asset.

8. Inventories
8.1. Accounting policy
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost between the average acquisition cost and net realizable value. Include transportation costs to the distribution centers, costs incurred in preparing the dispatch of goods from the distribution centers to the stores, and non-recoverable taxes. They are deducted from supplier bonuses and from the present value adjustment of goods' purchases on credit, which is carried out based on inventory turnover, recorded under "cost of goods sold". The reversal of present value adjustment is recognized as finance expense. The cost of imported goods considers the gain or loss on cash flow hedges. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated additional costs necessary to make the sale.
The estimate for inventory losses is based on historical data on thefts of goods, as well as provisions for goods with negative margins, obsolete and damaged goods. Actual losses are determined through physical inventory counts carried out annually.
Freight costs for transporting goods from distribution centers to stores are accounted for directly as selling expenses in the current income (loss) at the time they occur.

C&A carries out periodic inventories of products with a high risk of loss throughout the year and annually carries out complete inventory counts of all items. During these inventory counts, the adjustments identified are considered as effective losses, using the provisions for inventory losses recorded for this purpose. This provision, along with the realized losses, is reflected in the statement of profit or loss under "cost of goods sold."
9. Recoverable taxes
9.1. Accounting policy
Recoverable taxes generated in C&A's usual operations, which may be offset and/or refunded by it, and taxes derived from lawsuit in which it is practically certain that there will be an inflow of economic benefits and can be measured with reasonable certainty.

9.2.1. Expected realization of recoverable taxes
Based on the projections prepared by Management, the amount of recoverable taxes, presents the following expectation of realization on March 31, 2026:
| Year | Parent company | Consolidated |
|---|---|---|
| Apr-Dec 2026 | 482,174 | 482,705 |
| 2027 | 410,851 | 410,851 |

| Current assets | 622,495 | 623,026 |
| Non-current assets | 568,734 | 568,734 |
Management continually assesses the ability to use these taxes and does not expect any impairment losses in the period ended March 31, 2026.

| (+) Recognition of interest + updates | 13,834 | 14,795 |
| Closing balance | 738,637 | 787,391 |
(a) ICMS from PIS and COFINS calculation basis
The Company has two lawsuits on the topic that were finalized on February 28, 2019 and February 23, 2022, respectively, with favorable decisions. The balance of the first lawsuit was fully offset in October 2025, and the offsetting of the second lawsuit began in January 2026.
(b) Credit arising from Lawsuit - Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM)
On November 30, 2020, the Company received a final and unappealable decision, recognizing the right to equate sales made in the ZFM to exports and, therefore, acknowledging the non-levy of PIS and COFINS on the revenues generated in the ZFM, as well as the right to enjoy the benefit from the REINTEGRA program.
(c) Credit arising from Lawsuit - Good Law
On March 18, 2023, the proceeding was finalized in the Supreme Federal Court (STF), with a favorable decision to the Company, validating the right already recognized by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) on October 27, 2022, acknowledging the right to enjoy the benefit of reducing the PIS and COFINS rates to zero, as provided for by Law 11196/2005 (known as the
"Good Law"), for the retail sale of smartphones produced in the country until December 31, 2018.
(d) ICMS-ST on PIS and COFINS calculation basis
In a unanimous decision issued by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) under the repetitive appeal for Topic 1125, the court established the thesis that ICMS-ST is not included in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis owed by the replaced taxpayer under the progressive tax replacement regime. The Company has two lawsuits on the topic with favorable decisions, with the final and unappealable decisions in January and October 2025, respectively.
9.2.3. ICMS credits
(a) Credit arising from Lawsuit - ICMS rate on the supply of electric power
In December 2021, the Federal Supreme Court (STF), in a case of general repercussion (Extraordinary Appeal 714139/SC), decided to apply the general rate for ICMS on electricity and telecommunication services, to the detriment of the increased rate. Thus, even though most of lawsuits distributed between 2015 and 2016 have not yet received a final and unappealable decision, the Company assesses the entry of economic benefits as virtually certain. The updated balance on March 31, 2026, is R$ 88,730 (R$ 93,582 on December 31, 2025).
(b) Credit arising from Lawsuit - DIFAL - sale to final consumer who is not an ICMS taxpayer
On March 30, 2022, the leading case (RE 1287019), referring to Topic 1093, was judged by the STF on the basis of general repercussion, which declared the collection of the ICMS Rate Difference - DIFAL unconstitutional in interstate transactions involving non-taxpaying final consumers, until a complementary law was enacted in this regard. Considering this scenario, the Company recognized the amounts of its lawsuits filed in December 2018, whose updated balance on March 31, 2026 is R$ 19,549 (R$ 19,134 on December 31, 2025).
10. Income and social contribution taxes
10.1. Accounting policy
Tax assets and liabilities are measured at recoverable value expected or at value, payable to the tax authorities. Income tax and social contribution are calculated based on rates of 15%, plus an additional 10% on taxable income exceeding R$20,000 per month for income tax purposes, and 9% on taxable income for the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL), except for C&A Pay, whose applicable rate, as of April 2026, is 12%, in accordance with specific legislation. It should be noted that deferred tax has already been recorded considering the 12% rate, based on the estimated timing of realization of the respective taxes. Tax losses and negative bases of the social contribution represent negative results determined in prior periods, which may be offset up to the limit of 30% of the taxable income determined in each fiscal year, with no statute of limitations for their utilization.
Deferred IRPJ and CSLL are recognized when there is a temporary difference between tax and accounting balances, given that tax credits and debits are not subject to statute of limitations, and
arise mainly from provisions for differences between cash and accrual, tax losses, lease operations, tax loss carryforwards and provisions for tax, civil and labor risks. The credits are based on the continued profitability of its operations.
For disclosure purposes, the deferred tax asset was offset against the deferred tax liability, IRPJ and CSLL of the same taxable entity. On December 27, 2024, Law 15079 was published, which established the CSLL Surcharge with the aim of aligning Brazilian legislation with the GloBE Rules, bringing the country in line with Pillar 2 of the OECD's BEPS Project, whose guideline establishes a global minimum tax rate of 15% for multinational groups with annual revenues exceeding € 750 million.
The Company continuously monitors the projections of taxable income and adjustments to net profit in order to ensure compliance with the minimum limit of the effective rate of the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL). In this context, the expectation is that the CSLL surcharge established by Law 15079/24 will not be levied in 2026.
Management exercises judgment to determine the amount of deferred tax asset that can be recognized, based on the probable term and amount of future taxable income, along with future tax planning strategies. At the end of each year, the recoverability of deferred taxes is assessed, and write-offs are made to the extent that it is no longer likely that taxable income will be available to allow their use.

10.4. Reconciliation of effective rate
11. Investments
11.1. Accounting policy
The investment of the Company in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method in parent company interim financial information. After applying this method, the Company assesses whether it is necessary to recognize additional impairment on the recoverable amount of its investments in subsidiaries. The Company verifies, on each closing date of statement of financial position, if there is objective evidence that investment in the subsidiaries suffered impairment loss. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the amount of loss as the difference between the recoverable amount of the subsidiary and the book value, recognizing the loss in the statement of profit or loss.

12. Property, plant and equipment
12.1. Accounting policy
Assets are recorded at the cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less recoverable taxes. They include the estimate for store restoration, when not included in the right of use, and are reduced by depreciation and impairment estimate. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method, considering the estimated useful life of assets. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the estimated useful life, the restoration cost, and the depreciation methods are reviewed, considering the expected use of the assets, the planning of store refurbishments, and evidence of a useful life other than that recorded. This assessment is documented in a report by C&A's experts. Any changes in the estimates are accounted for prospectively.
A property, plant and equipment item is written off when it is disposed of, when the entity loses control over it, or when future economic benefits are no longer expected to be generated. Currently, the gain or loss from the transaction is recognized, measured by the difference between the net sales price and the book value of the asset.

13. Intangible assets
13.1. Accounting policy
Intangible assets with defined useful lives (software, systems, and goodwill) are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. IT systems includes spending on software licensing and in-house systems development.
Development expenditures that correspond to direct costs with personnel and services are capitalized as intangible assets when they meet the following criteria: technical feasibility for project completion, intention and capacity for use or commercialization, generation of future economic benefits, and the possibility of reliable measurement of the costs involved. Expenses related to maintenance and research are recognized directly as an expense in the income (loss) for the year.
The amortization of these assets begins when they are available for use, being calculated under the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life. The useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are subject to recoverability tests performed annually.

(In thousands of reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated)
C&A
14. Impairment
14.1. Accounting policy
Management reviews, at the end of each fiscal year, the net book value of assets to assess possible events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances that might indicate an impairment of assets. When such evidence is identified and it is determined that the net book value exceeds the recoverable value, an impairment estimate is recognized, adjusting the book to the recoverable value. The recoverable value of an asset or a cash-generating unit is defined as the higher of value in use and net sales value. Each store is considered an independent cash-generating unit, except for the store located in Shopping Iguatemi in São Paulo, which is considered a concept store and generates benefits for C&A's other operations.
The Company uses as an indicator of recoverable value loss the stores that, at the end of the year, show negative EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) and/or that suffered impairment in the previous year. To that end, the stores must have been in operation for more than three years, an age at which they are considered mature by the Company.
The intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, related to the right to explore financial services, is subjected to impairment tests annually.
The impairment assessment is based on detailed financial forecasts and budgets, which are prepared separately by Management for each cash-generating unit to which the assets are allocated. An average long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to future cash flows, with key assumptions based on past experience and aligned with external sources of information.
In addition, the Company records an estimate for impairment in cases of store closures when they are approved by Management. The estimate for loss is constituted in the estimated amount for write-offs of assets, being reversed at the time of the effective write-off.
14.2. Assessment of recoverable value by cash-generating unit (CGU)
The Company used cash flow projections, after income tax, based on financial budgets approved by Management, ensuring consistency with the results presented in the past. For the preparation of the discounted cash flow, the same assumptions and criteria used in the Financial Statement for the year ended December 31, 2025, were considered, which can be consulted for additional information and details of the estimates considered.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a provision for impairment of its assets, as shown in the table below:
| Type | Recoverability test | Discontinued operations, renovations, and closings of stores | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03/31/2026 | 12/31/2025 | 03/31/2026 | 12/31/2025 | 03/31/2026 | 12/31/2025 | |

| Total | (4,524) | (4,524) | (1,584) | (2,238) | (6,108) | (6,762) |
14.3. Assessment of the recoverable value of intangible assets with indefinite useful life
The recoverability of the "right to explore financial services" asset is assessed annually based on the value in use method, using the best estimates provided by Management regarding the future performance of the business.
The recoverable value of the "right to explore financial services" asset is higher than its book value, and for this reason, no estimate for impairment loss is recognized.
15. Leases
15.1. Accounting policy
A contract is or contains a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration for which is needed to evaluate if:
(i) The contract involves the use of an identified asset, which may be explicit or implicit, and may be physically distinct or represent substantially the full capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantial right to replace the asset, then the asset is not identified;
(ii) The Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset use during the contract period; and
(iii) The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has the right to make a decision to change how and for what purpose the asset is used if:
- has the right to operate the asset, or
- projected the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At the beginning of the contract, the Company recognizes an asset with right of use and a lease liability that represents the obligation to make the payments related to the underlying asset of the lease.
C&A used, as a cost component, the amounts of fixed lease payments or lease payments that are fixed in essence, which would be the minimum payments agreed upon in contracts with variable payments according to the attainment of revenues, gross of PIS and COFINS. The amounts of assets for right of use also include the prepaid lease payments and provisions for store restoration, deducted from the incentives received from lessors. The amounts of specifically variable payments are recognized monthly as operating expenses.
39
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at the start date of the contract, discounted using the incremental interest rate, defined as the nominal interest rate (with inflation) equivalent to that which C&A would have if contracting a loan for a similar term and with similar guarantee.
C&A applied judgment to determine the lease term of certain contracts, considering the provisions of Law 8.245 (Tenancy Law), which grants the lessee the right to contract renewals when certain conditions are met, as well as past practices regarding C&A's success in renewing its contracts. The assessment of whether C&A is reasonably certain to exercise these options has an impact on the lease term, which may significantly impact the value of the lease liabilities and the recognized right-of-use assets. Expired contracts that are in the process of being renewed are not considered, as they do not yet constitute a right, nor is it possible to determine the value of the contract. Based on the history of the latest renewals, in which the terms and amounts negotiated differ substantially from the expired contracts, C&A considers renewals to be a new contract, so it does not consider renewals on time.
15.2. Incremental interest rate
C&A determines its incremental interest rates based on the credit curves made available by ANBIMA, which reflect different terms and levels of risk in the secondary market. The rates extracted are adjusted to C&A's reality, considering its credit profile. The rates are updated monthly and with each new lease contract.
Incremental rates at contract terms practiced as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| 03/31/2026 | 12/31/2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

The amount presented above is not deducted from the PIS/COFINS credits on the payment of leases, of R$ 12,592 (R$ 48,585 in 2025), and on the interest, of R$ 4,123 (R$ 15,360 in 2025). These credits were recorded directly in the income (loss) as reductions of the amortization and interest expense. In the quarter ended March 31, 2026, 7 contracts were renewed, 7 new contracts were signed, and 1 was terminated (in the year ended December 31, 2025, 30 contracts were renewed, 21 new contracts were signed, and 4 were terminated).
15.3. Comparison of lease projections between the scenarios
In accordance with the guidance from the CVM/SNC/SEP Circular Letter 02/2019 and with the aim of providing the market with a comprehensive view of the various effects that arise from the application of models with and without inflation on the minimum payment flows of leases, using the same incremental interest rate for discounting (6.5% to 14.9%), the comparative balances of the lease liability of the right of use, finance expenses, and amortization expense for the current fiscal year are presented below according to the following scenarios:
| Scenarios | Incremental rate | Future payment flow |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nominal | With inflation projection |
| 2 | Nominal | Without inflation projection |
Scenario 2 was adopted by C&A for the current period ended March 31, 2026, as determined by CPC 06 (R2)/IFRS 16. Below are the comparative balances of lease liabilities:
| 03/31/2026 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scenarios | Lease liabilities | Financial charges | Depreciation expense | Total expense |
| Scenario 1 | 2,099,833 | 31,403 | 107,525 | 138,928 |
| Scenario 2 (accounted for) | 1,813,314 | 50,624 | 97,172 | 147,796 |
15.4. Minimum future payments and potential right of PIS and COFINS (Parent Company and Consolidated)
The minimum future payments under leases, in accordance with the commercial leases, along with the fair value of the minimum lease payments, are as follows:
| 03/31/2026 | 12/31/2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| With maturity | Payments | Potential right to PIS/COFINS (*) | Payments | Potential right to PIS/COFINS (*) |
| ≤01 year | 552,432 | (49,528) | 547,966 | (49,005) |
| 1-5 years | 1,442,849 | - | 1,406,133 | - |
| >5 years | 548,327 | - | 502,386 | - |
| Total minimum payments | 2,543,608 | (49,528) | 2,456,485 | (49,005) |
| Discount to present value of minimum payments | (730,293) | 17,250 | (676,242) | 16,711 |
| Present value of minimum payments | 1,813,315 | (32,278) | 1,780,243 | (32,294) |
| Current liabilities | 371,144 | 372,743 | ||
| Non-current liabilities | 1,442,171 | 1,407,500 |
The potential right to PIS/COFINS corresponds to the amount that C&A may recover if the future lease payments are realized. With the enactment of Constitutional Amendment 132/2023, these payments will generate PIS and COFINS credits only until December 31, 2026, since these contributions will be extinguished and replaced by the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS), whose rate will still be defined by regulation.
During the period ended March 31, 2026, the expense related to the 18 variable lease contracts was R$ 2,450 (18 contracts in the same period of 2025 of R$ 1,158). Expenses related to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets totaled R$ 6,021 (R$ 4,679 in the same period of 2025), and refer to rentals of printers, forklifts, stores and lease renewal action. Due to low relevance, the future commitment of minimum payments for leases of low-value assets and short-term contracts, as well as projected expenses and the sensitivity analysis of variable leases, are not being presented.
C&A does not provide real estate as collateral for any of its operations.
16. Suppliers
16.1. Accounting policy
Suppliers represent the C&A's obligations arising from the purchase of products, services, expenses with occupancy, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. The installment purchase operations for goods are adjusted to the present value on the transaction dates. The contra entry of the Present value adjustment of the suppliers of goods is made against inventories and the recovery of interest is recorded pro rata die and recorded as a finance expense. For the other suppliers, the balancing entry of the present value adjustment and the recomposition of the interest are made directly as finance expenses.
The monthly interest rates used for the present value calculation of outstanding suppliers as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 1.15% and 1.17%, respectively.

(a) Refers to transactions with C&A Sourcing related to purchases of goods imported from the East.
16.3. Supplier Finance Arrangements
C&A enters into financing agreements with its suppliers, and participation in the agreement is optional for them. The suppliers that adhere to the financing agreement receive advance payment for the invoices sent to C&A through external financial institutions, by paying a fee to the financial institution, of which C&A is not a part. In order for the financial institution to pay the invoices, the goods must have been received and the invoices must be approved by C&A. Payments to the suppliers before the invoice due date are processed by the financial institution and, in all cases, C&A settles the original invoice by paying the financial institution according to the original due date mentioned.
The agreement does not change the characteristics of the commercial conditions, deadlines, and prices previously established between C&A and its suppliers, and for this reason, the amounts payable have been considered as operational liabilities. If the balances of supplier finance arrangements were considered financial liabilities, compliance with the covenants would be maintained.

(a) All the suppliers received the payments directly from the bank with which the contract was signed.
C&A received a commission of R$ 4,707 for this transaction for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 (R$ 910 during the same period in 2025). In the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, the discount rate applied by financial institutions to suppliers ranged between 1.71% p.m. and 1.86% p.m. (from 1.57% p.m. to 1.87% p.m. during the same period of 2025) and part of this rate corresponds to the spread transferred to C&A as commission.
43
17. Loans and debentures
17.1. Accounting policy
Loans and debentures are initially recognized at fair value and then measured at amortized cost as provided for in the contract. The costs incurred, including fees, commissions and other costs are being recorded as reductions in liabilities and are appropriated to income (loss) monthly during the debt period. All other loan costs are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Loan costs involve interest and other expenses incurred by C&A in relation to the loans.

All of the above funds were raised to reinforce working capital, without C&A granting a guarantee.
17.5. Covenants
Financing agreements and debentures contain the usual restrictive clauses, which can result in early maturity if they are not complied with.
Based on the clauses in force, C&A must meet certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants, measured annually on December 31, include the following key indicators:
I. Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA: Maintenance of the ratio between Net Debt (composed of loans and debentures plus or minus the balance of derivatives less cash and cash equivalents and financial investment) and Adjusted EBITDA (composed of EBITDA plus revenue from discounting suppliers minus non-operating results, defined as the sale of assets, contingency provisions/reversals, impairment and restructuring expenses), at a level equal to or less than 3.0 times, which will be calculated annually on the consolidated financial statements. For such calculation, it is considered the Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) over the past twelve (12) months and disregards the effects brought by the adoption of CPC 06/IFRS 16.
The non-financial covenants are, substantially:
I. Publication of financial statements: The Issuer must publish and keep available its audited consolidated financial statements.
II. Conviction Judgment: The existence of a conviction judgment involving acts of racial or gender discrimination, child labor, slave labor, prostitution exploitation, or crimes against the environment is prohibited.
C&A periodically monitors the indicators that may impact the covenants. Restrictions imposed are usual in transactions of this nature and do not limit C&A's capacity of conducting its business activities so far. On March 31, 2026, the Company complied with all covenants.
18. Labor obligations
(a) The value of the social charges on the share-based remuneration is calculated based on the value of the C&A Modas share on the reporting date and for this reason is subject to fluctuations.

Provision is reviewed and adjusted so as to consider changes in circumstances, such as applicable statute of limitations, conclusions of tax audits or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court rulings, based on legal advisor's opinion.

25. Share-based remuneration plan
The current share-based compensation plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on April 28, 2023. Under this plan, programs are established and approved by the Board of Directors, and the corresponding grants are made to eligible participants.
The Share-based Remuneration Plan was approved at the Ordinary General Meeting held on October 2, 2019, from which programs approved by the Board of Directors and respective grants for eligible personnel derive.
The final number of shares that the executive may effectively receive at the end of the vesting period will depend on the level of achievement of C&A's performance targets, according to the performance factor provided for in the contract.
The right to the shares will be acquired at the end of the 3-year period from the Grant Date, provided that the executives remain, throughout the respective vesting period, as an employee, director, officer or professional of any nature of C&A.
The social charges on the share-based remuneration are the responsibility of C&A and will be collected by it at the time of the program's settlement. Regarding the taxes levied on the delivery of the shares, for which the participant of the plan is responsible, C&A may withhold and discount the corresponding portion of these taxes from the total quantity of shares, delivering to the executive only the net quantity of shares after this withholding.

31. Retirement plan
31.1. Accounting policy
The company is a sponsor of Cyamprev - Sociedade de Previdência Privada, a closed supplementary pension fund whose purpose is to set up pension plans for the group of employees of its sponsors. In essence, the pension plans sponsored by the Company are structured as defined contribution plans and contributions to the plans are made by active participants and/or the sponsor. The plans also guarantee a minimum benefit paid in a single installment on termination of employment and eligibility for retirement. Contributions to the plan relating to this minimum benefit are made exclusively by the Company.
The benefit plans are actuarially appraised at the end of each fiscal year to verify whether the contribution rates are sufficient for the formation of reserves necessary for current and future commitments. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized on the accrual basis.
In accordance with CPC 33/IAS19, approved by CFC Resolution 1193/09, the Company recognizes an actuarial asset when: (a) it controls a resource, which is the ability to use the surplus to generate future benefits; (b) this control is the result of past events (contributions paid by the entity and service provided by the employee); and (c) future economic benefits are available to the Company in the form of a reduction in future contributions.
31.2. Retirement plan
On March 31, 2026, C&A contributed R$ 987 (R$ 1,407 as of December 31, 2025) to the plans, recorded as an expense in the income (loss) for the year. The total number of employees participating in the plans as of March 31, 2026, is 3,209 participants (3,285 as of December 31, 2025), with 228 assisted participants (213 as of December 31, 2025).
The amounts relating to contributions made by C&A on behalf of members who have redeemed and withdrawn from the plans administered by Cyamprev can be used to offset future contributions and
63
for this reason is considered an asset of the company. On March 31, 2026, this amount was R$ 2,478 (R$ 2,247 on December 31, 2025). The use of these amounts by C&A is subject to approval by the Cyamprev Board.
32. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the income/(loss) attributable to the holders of common shares of the Company (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares held by shareholders (the denominator) during the current year. Treasury shares are excluded from the count while they remain in the Company's possession, regardless of their intended use. This includes both excess treasury shares and those allocated to the plan that have not yet been delivered.
Diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributed to the Company's common shareholders by weighted average number of common shares available in the year plus weighted average number of common shares that would be issued upon conversion of all potentially diluted common shares into common shares.
Equity instruments that must or may be settled with shares of the Company are only included in the calculation when their settlement has a dilutive impact on earnings per share. The only financial instrument that provides dilution refers to the share-based remuneration plan, the details of which are described in Note 25.
The table below presents the determination of the net income (loss) available to holders of common shares and the weighted average of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in each period presented:
| Basic earnings per share | 03/31/2026 | 03/31/2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit for the period | 1,663 | 4,072 |
