  1. EQUITY

24.a. Capital

Pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to increase its share capital up to 1,850,000,000 common shares without requiring it first to adjust its bylaws.

The shareholders will have preemptive rights to subscribe for a capital increase, in proportion to their number of shares. By resolution of the Board of Directors, the preemptive right in the issuance of shares, convertible debentures and subscription bonus, whose placement may be made through sale on the Stock Exchange or public subscription, exchange for shares in a public offer for acquisition may be excluded control, under the terms of articles 257 and 253 of the Corporation Law, as well as enjoy tax incentives, under the terms of special legislation, as provided for in article 172 of the Corporation Law.

Subject to compliance with the conditions imposed by ANATEL, the decision of the Company's Management on opportunity and convenience, as well as obtaining the necessary corporate approvals, the granting of said consent gives the Company flexibility to carry out or not the reductions, which, when carried out, will occur through the return of resources to its shareholders in proportion to their equity interest on the respective base dates.

In cases where it was not possible to make payments to shareholders, totaling R$38,721 on July 10, 2024, these amounts will remain available to these shareholders for the prescriptive period, Note 23.

2nd Capital Reduction

In the Material Fact disclosed by the Company on November 5, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved (i) a proposal, subject to deliberation at an EGM, for a capital reduction operation of the Company in the amount of R$2.0 billion, without the cancellation of shares issued by the Company and through the return of funds to shareholders, in national currency; and (ii) the convening of an extraordinary general meeting to deliberate on said capital reduction proposal and the consequent amendment to the Company's Bylaws.

On December 18, 2024, the Company's EGM approved the reduction of its capital, under the terms mentioned in the Material Fact of November 5, 2024, and, after all applicable legal requirements have been met, said reduction will become fully effective, and the funds arising therefrom will be paid in a single installment by July 31, 2025, on a date to be determined in due course by the Company's Board of Directors.

This new capital reduction will be implemented by refunding to shareholders, in national currency (R$/Reais), the amount of R$1.22651176012 per common share issued by the Company, considering a total of 1,652,588,360 common shares into which its share capital is divided, excluding 21,947,656 common shares held in treasury on October 31, 2024. The amount per common share was calculated based on the shareholding position on October 31, 2024, and, due to the Company's Share Buyback Program, said amount may change considering the shareholding base to be verified on February 27, 2025. Therefore, the shareholding position to be considered for the receipt of funds arising from this capital reduction will be that recorded in the Company's records on February 27, 2025, and after this date, the shares issued by the Company Company will be considered ex-restitution rights.

The purpose of this capital reduction operation is to improve the Company's capital structure, which allows for more flexible allocation of its capital, generating a balance between its need for resources and the generation of value for its shareholders. Given its approval at the EGM, the implementation of the capital reduction is now subject to the expiration of a period of 60 days from the publication of the respective minutes, as provided for in article 174 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.

  1. NET OPERATING REVENUE

25.a. Accounting policy

Revenues correspond substantially to the provision of telecommunication services, communications, sales of goods, advertising and other revenues, and are presented net of taxes, discounts and returns (in the case of sale of goods), levied on them.

Total revenues from packages that combine several products or services (fixed, mobile, data, internet or television) are allocated to each performance obligation based on their independent selling prices in relation to the total consideration for the package and recognized when (or as soon as) the obligation is satisfied. When packages promote some discount on equipment or services, an accounting adjustment is made to allocate the sale price between them based on their fair price, constituting a contractual asset or liability, which is appropriated to income over subsequent periods.

Revenues from sales of prepaid cellular recharge credits, as well as the respective taxes due, are deferred and recognized in income as the services are effectively provided.

Revenues from equipment leasing contracts, classified as leasing (Vivo TECH product), are recognized when the equipment is installed, when the effective transfer of control. Revenues are recognized at the present value of future minimum contract payments.

Revenue from the sale of handsets to dealers is accounted for upon delivery, when all risks and benefits are transferred to accredited agents.

The Company's revenue recognition process is complex, due to the large volume of transactions and wide range of goods/services that can be sold/provided separately or in aggregate, under different commercial conditions. Besides, there is the complexity of the process used by management for estimating recognized revenue rendered and not yet billed, given the diversity of data sources, revenue streams and the number of systems involved.

Revenues from services and goods are basically subject to the following indirect taxes: ICMS or ISS, as the case may be, PIS and COFINS.

Fair value is measured initially and at each year-end date up to and including the settlement date, with the change in fair value recognized as employee benefit expense (Note 26) in the statement of income. Fair value is recognized as an expense over the period to the acquisition date, with a corresponding liability recognized.

  1. PENSIONS PLANS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

31.a. Accounting policy

The Company and its subsidiaries individually sponsor pension funds of post-retirement benefits for active and retired employees, in addition to a multisponsor supplementary retirement plan and health care plan for former employees. Contributions are determined on an actuarial basis and recorded on an accrual basis. Liabilities relating to defined benefit plans are determined based on actuarial evaluations at each year-end, in order to ensure that sufficient reserves have been set up for both current and future commitments.

Actuarial liabilities related to defined benefit plans were calculated using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in equity (in other comprehensive income).

For plans with defined contribution characteristics, the obligation is limited to the contributions payable, which are recognized in the P&L in the respective accrual periods.

The asset or liability related to defined benefit plan to be recognized in the financial statements corresponds to the present value of the obligation for the defined benefit (using a discount rate based on long-term National Treasury Notes – “NTNs”), less the fair value of plan assets that will be used to settle the obligations. Plan assets are assets held by a privately held supplementary pension plan entity. Plan assets are not available to the Company’s creditors or those of its subsidiaries and cannot be paid directly to the Company or its subsidiaries. The fair value is based on information on market prices and, in the case of securities quoted, on the purchase price disclosed. The value of any defined benefit asset then recognized is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available as a reduction in future plan contribution from the Company.

Years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Actuarial costs recognized in the statement of income are limited to the service cost and cost of interest on the defined benefit plan obligation. Any changes in the measurement of plan assets and obligations are initially recognized in other comprehensive income, and immediately reclassified to retained earnings in P&L.

The Company and its subsidiaries manage and individually sponsors a health care plan for retired employees and former employees with fixed contributions to the plan, in accordance with Law No. 9656/1998 (which provides for private health care and health insurance plans). As provided for in Articles 30 and 31 of said law, participants shall have the right to the health care plan in which they participated while they were active employees.

31.b. Critical estimates and judgments

The cost of pension plans with defined benefits and other post-employment health care benefits and the present value of the pension obligation are determined using actuarial valuation methods. Actuarial valuation involves use of assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future increases in pension and annuity benefits. The obligation for defined benefits is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables in the country. Future salary increases, and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the country.

31.c. Information on pension plans and other post-employment benefits

The plans sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries and the related benefit types are as follows:

PlanTypeEntitySponsor
PBS-ADefined benefit (DB)SistelTelefônica Brasil, jointly with other telecoms resulting from privatization of the Sistema Telebrás
PAMA / PCEDefined benefit (DB)SistelTelefônica Brasil, jointly with other telecoms resulting from privatization of the Sistema Telebrás

Telefônica BDDefined benefit (DB)VisãoPrevTelefônica Brasil
VISÃODefined contribution (DC) / HybridVisãoPrevTelefônica Brasil, Terra Networks, TGLog, TIS, IoTCo Brasil and CloudCo Brasil

The Company has participation in the decisions that directly affect the governance of the plans, with members nominated for both the Deliberative Council and the Fiscal Council of the administrators Visão Prev Sociedade de Previdência Complementar (“Visão Prev”) and Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social (“Sistel”).

The defined benefit obligation is made up of different components, according to the pension characteristic of each plan, and may include the actuarial liabilities of supplementary pension liabilities, health care benefits to retirees and dependents or compensation for death or disability of members. This liability is exposed to economic and demographic risks, such as: (i) increases in medical costs that could impact the cost of health care plans; (ii) salary growth; (iii) long-term inflation rate; (iv) nominal discount rate; and (v) life expectancy of members and pensioners.

The fair value of plan assets is primarily comprised of fixed income investments (NTN's, LFT’s, LTN's, repurchase agreements, CDBs, debentures, letters of guarantee and FIDC shares) and equity investments (highly liquid, well regarded, large company shares and investments in market indices).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Due to the concentration of fixed income and floating rate investments plan assets are mainly exposed to the risks inherent in the financial market and economic environment such as: (i) market risk in the economic sectors where variable income investments are concentrated; (ii) risk events that impact the economic environment and market indices where variable income investments are concentrated; and (iii) the long-term inflation rate that may erode the profitability of fixed income investments at fixed rates.

The companies that administer post-employment benefits plans sponsored by the Company (Visão Prev and Sistel) seek to meet the flows of assets and liabilities through the acquisition of fixed income securities and other long-term assets.

With the exception of the Companhia Telefônica Brasileira ("CTB") and the healthcare plan under Law No. 9656/98, generally all benefit plans that have funds constituted present a surplus position. The economic benefit recorded in the Company's assets or that of its subsidiaries does not reflect the total surplus determined in these plans, as it only considers only the portion of the surplus which presents a real possibility of recovery. The means of plan surplus recovery is solely through reductions in future contributions and given that not all plans currently receive enough contributions for full recovery of surpluses, the economic benefit recorded under assets is limited to the total possible recovery amount in accordance with projected future contributions.

The position of plan assets is on December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and plan assets were apportioned based on the Company’s actuarial liabilities in relation to the total actuarial liabilities of the plan.

The actuarial gains and losses generated in each year are immediately recognized in equity (in other comprehensive income).

The following is a summary of the pension plans and other post-employment benefits:

31.c.1. Post-Employment Health Benefits Plans

The actuarial valuation made for the PAMA health plan used the registration of the participants with a base date of August 31, 2024, while the actuarial valuation made for the health plan Law No. 9,656/98 used the registration of the participants with a base date of September 30, 2024, both plans projected for December 31, 2024.

For comparative exercises, the actuarial valuation made for the PAMA health plan used the registration of the participants with a base date of July 31, 2023, while the actuarial valuation made for the health plan Law No. 9,656/98 used the registration of the participants with a base date of July 31, 2023, both plans projected for December 31, 2023.

31.c.1.1. Healthcare Plan to Retirees and Special Coverage Program (PAMA and PAMA-PCE)

The Company, together with other companies of the former Telebrás System, at shared cost, sponsor health care plans (PAMA and PAMA-PCE) to retirees. These plans are managed by Fundação Sistel and are closed plans, not admitting new members.

Contributions to the plans are determined based on actuarial valuations prepared by independent actuaries, in accordance with the rules in force in Brazil. The funding procedure is the capitalization method and the sponsor’s contribution are at the fixed percentage of payroll of employees covered by the Telefônica BD plan.

31.c.1.2. Health care plan – Law No. 9656/1998

The Company manages and together with its subsidiaries sponsors a health care plan to retired employees and former employees with fixed contributions to the plan, in accordance with Law No. 9656/98.

As provided for in Articles 30 and 31 of said law, participants shall have the right to the health care plan in which they participated while they were active employees. Benefitted participants are classified as (i) retirees and their dependents; and (ii) dismissed employees and their dependents.

Retirees and dismissed employees, in order to keep their right to the benefits, must make contributions to the plan in accordance with the contribution tables by age bracket established by carriers and/or insurance companies.

31.c.2. Post-employment Social Security Plans

Post-employment pension plans include: PBS Assistidos (“PBS-A”), CTB, Telefônica BD and Visão.

The actuarial assessment carried out for the CTB, PBS-A, Telefônica BD and Plano Visão pension plans used the participant registry with a base date of July 31, 2024, projected to December 31, 2024, and the participant registry with a base date of July 31, 2023, projected to December 31, 2023.

31.c.2.1. PBS Assisted Plan (PBS-A)

The PBS-A plan is a defined benefit private pension plan managed by Sistel and sponsored by the Company jointly with the other telecommunications companies originating in the privatization of the Telebrás System. The plan is subject to funding by sponsors in the case of any asset insufficiency to ensure pension supplementation of participants in the future.

The PBS-A plan comprises assisted participants of the Sistel Benefit Plan who were already retirees on January 31, 2000, from all the participating sponsors, with joint liability of all sponsors to the plan and Sistel.

According to PREVIC Ordinances No. 249/23 and No. 926/24, dated March 14, 2023 and November 8, 2024, and published in the Official Gazette on April 13, 2023 and November 14, 2024, respectively, Sistel approved distributions of part of its surplus, in the form of a special PBS-A reserve, with reversion of amounts to sponsors and improvement of benefits, in the form of temporary income, to beneficiaries. The Company's share in the distribution of this reserve was calculated at R$89,130 for the distribution approved in 2023 and R$114,852 for the distribution approved in 2024, with distributions expected in the form of 36 monthly payments, adjusted by the plan's income (Note 11).

Even considering the distribution of the reserve approved by PREVIC, PBS-A still has assets in excess of actuarial obligations as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. These surpluses were not recognized due to the lack of legal provision for their reimbursement and, as they are not a contributory plan, no deduction is possible in future contributions.

31.c.2.2. CTB Plan

Contributions to the CTB plan are determined based on actuarial valuations prepared by independent actuaries, in accordance with the rules in force in Brazil. The funding procedure is the capitalization method and the sponsor’s contribution are a fixed percentage of payroll of employees covered by the plan.

The Company also individually manages and sponsors the CTB plan, originally provided to former employees of CTB who were in the Company in 1977, with whom an individual retirement concession agreement was executed to encourage their resignation. This is an informal pension supplementation benefit paid to former employees directly by the Company. These plans are closed, and no other members are admitted.

31.c.2.3. Telefônica DB Plan

The Company individually sponsors the defined benefit retirement, Telefônica DB plan.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

In order to improve allocation of Telefônica DB plan assets and analyze the coverage ratio of plan obligations in future years, a stochastic Application Lifecycle Management (“ALM”) study was prepared by Visão Prev and Willis Towers Watson. This ALM study aimed at projecting the ratio between coverage of liabilities (solvency ratio) and the risk of mismatching measured by the standard deviation of the solvency ratio. The study concluded that the plan presents sustainable projection of their coverage ratio with the current investments’ portfolio.

At the time of the concession, a benefit is calculated which will be paid in a lifelong form and updated by inflation. This plan is not open to new accessions.

The contributions are defined according to the costing plan, which is calculated considering financial, demographic and economic hypotheses in order to accumulate enough resources to pay the benefits to the participants who are already receiving them, and to the new pensions.

31.c.2.4. VISÃO Plans

The Visão Telefônica and Visão Multi plans, due to their similarity, are now shown together under the name Visão.

The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor defined contribution plans with defined benefit components (hybrid plans) and pension benefits, the Visão plans, managed by Visão Prev. The contribution is attributed to each subsidiary in the economic and demographic proportion of its respective obligation to the plan.

The contributions made by the Company and subsidiaries related to defined contribution plans totaled R$60,106 on December 31, 2024 (R$51,328 on December 31, 2023).

The contributions to the Visão Telefônica and Visão Multi plans are: (i) basic and additional contribution, with contributions made by the participant and sponsor; and (ii) additional, sporadic and specific contribution, with contributions made only by the participant.

In addition, the participant has the possibility to choose one of five investment profiles to apply to their balance, and they are: Super Conservative, Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive and Aggressive Fixed Income Long-Term.

In addition to the assumptions presented in the tables above, for 2024 and 2023 other assumptions common to all plans were adopted, as follows: (i) long-term inflation rate:3.50% in 2024 and 2023; and (ii) annual increase in the use of medical services according to age:4.0% in 2024 and 2023.

31.c.3.12. Changes in actuarial assumptions in relation to the prior year

In order to adjust some actuarial assumptions to the economic and demographic reality, a study was conducted for the plans administered by Visão Prev and Sistel, which adopted the definition of the assumptions in their Deliberative Councils.

The main economic and financial assumptions that have changed in relation to the previous fiscal year and that interfere with the defined benefit liability are: (i) rates for discount to present value of the defined benefit liability; (ii) long-term inflation rate; (iii) rate of future wage growth; (iv) rate of growth of medical costs; and (v) annual nominal index of adjustment of social security benefits.

The Company believes that the significant actuarial assumptions with reasonable likelihood of variation due to financial and economic scenarios, which could significantly change the amount of the defined benefit obligation, are the discount rate used to adjust the defined benefit liability to present value and the rate of growth of medical costs.

Below, we present a sensitivity analysis on the defined benefit obligation for scenarios of a 0.5% increase and a 0.5% reduction in the discount rate used to adjust the defined benefit liability to present value.

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

32.a. Accounting policy

32.a.1. Financial assets

32.a.1.1. Initial recognition and measurement

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified in the following measurement categories: (i) at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) at amortized cost; or (iii) at fair value through other comprehensive income, depending on the situation.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset and the business model for the management of these assets.

For a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to generate cash flows that are “exclusively payments of principal and interest” on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is carried out at the level of each financial instrument.

Financial assets with cash flows that are not exclusively payments of interest principal are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, regardless of the business model adopted.

The Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from the collection of contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are maintained in a business plan with the objective of maintaining financial assets in order to obtain contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value against other comprehensive income are maintained in a business model. with the objective of obtaining contractual cash flows and for the purpose of sale.

The Company's consolidated financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financial investments, derivative financial instruments, amounts receivable from the sale of properties and others and credits with related parties.

32.a.1.2. Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, which may be as follows: (i)financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: are subsequently measured at fair value. Net income, including interest, is recognized directly in profit or loss; (ii)financial assets at amortized cost: are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired; and (iii)financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income, foreign exchange and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the statement of income and calculated in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. Remaining changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. At the time of derecognition, the cumulative change in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

32.a.1.3. Derecognition

A financial asset (or, whenever the case, a part of a financial asset, or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive the cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from it has assumed obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third part under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

32.a.1.4. Impairment of financial assets

The Company and its subsidiaries apply an impairment model for financial assets based on expected credit losses, using a simplified method for certain short and long-term assets (commercial receivables, lease receivables and contractual assets).

Under this simplified approach, credit impairment is recognized by reference to expected credit losses over the life of the asset. For this purpose, the Company and its subsidiaries use matrices based on historical bad debt experience by geographical area on a portfolio segmented by customer category according to credit pattern. The matrix for each category has a defined time horizon divided into intervals in accordance with the collection management policy and is fed with historical data that covers at least 24 collection cycles. This data is updated on a regular basis. Based on the information observable at each close, the Company and its subsidiaries assess the need to adjust the rates resulting from these matrices, considering current conditions and future economic forecasts.

32.a.2. Financial liabilities

32.a.2.1. Initial recognition and measurement

Upon initial recognition, a financial liability is classified into the following measurement categories: (i) at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) at amortized cost; or (iii) derivatives designated as hedge instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of loans and financing, transaction cost directly attributable thereto.

The Company's consolidated financial liabilities include accounts payable to suppliers, loans, financing, debentures, leases and other creditors, derivative financial instruments, obligations with ANATEL, amounts to be refunded to customers and obligations with related parties.

32.a.2.2. Subsequent measurement

Measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as follows: (i)Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: financial liabilities are designated at initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. This category also includes derivative financial instruments contracted, except those designated as derivative financial instruments of cash flow hedge. Interest, monetary and exchange variations and changes arising from the valuation at fair value, when applicable, are recognized in the statement of income when incurred; and (ii)Financial liabilities at amortized cost: after initial recognition, loans and financing subject to interest are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income at the time of write-off of liabilities, as well as during the amortization process using the effective interest rate method.

Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or goodwill on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate method. Amortization using the effective interest rate method is included as a financial expense in the income statement.

32.a.2.3. Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation has been revoked, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another of the same lender, and the terms of the instruments are substantially different, or when the terms of an existing debt instrument are substantially modified, this replacement or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the corresponding carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

32.a.3. Fair value measurement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there wereno transfers of fair value assessments between the aforementioned levels.

32.a.4. Financial instruments – net

Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a current enforceable legal right to offset the amounts recognized and if there is an intention to offset or realize the asset or settle the liability simultaneously.

32.a.5. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as currency and interest rate swaps and currency forward contracts to provide protection against the risk of changes in exchange rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

For hedge accounting purposes, they can be classified as: cash flow hedges and fair value hedges. The Company's contracts are classified as cash flow hedges when they provide protection against changes in cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized liability that may affect the result, and fair value hedges when they provide protection against exposure to changes in the fair value of an identified portion of certain liabilities that are attributable to a particular risk (exchange rate variation) and may affect the result.

At the beginning of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the objective and risk management strategy for carrying out the hedge.

The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the Company assesses whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including its analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how to determine the hedge ratio). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements: (i) there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; (ii) the effect of credit risk does not influence the changes in value that result from that economic relationship; and (iii) the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity effectively hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Company effectively uses to hedge that quantity of the hedged item.

Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments during the period are recognized directly in the statement of income, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized directly in equity in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

32.a.5.1. Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges meeting the recording criteria are accounted for as follows: (i) the portion of gain or loss from the hedge instrument determined as an effective hedge shall be recognized directly in equity (other comprehensive income), and (ii) the ineffective portion of gain or loss from the hedge instrument shall be recognized in the statement of income.

When the Company’s documented risk management strategy for any given hedge relationship excludes from the hedge effectiveness evaluation any particular component of gain or loss or the corresponding cash flows from the hedge instrument, that gains or loss component is recognized in financial income (expenses).

Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are immediately transferred to the statement of income when the hedged transaction affects P&L. When a hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, amounts recorded in equity are transferred at the initial carrying amount of the non-financial assets and liabilities.

If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover (as part of the hedging strategy), or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, or when the hedge fails to meet the hedge accounting criteria, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs or the firm commitment is fulfilled.

32.a.5.2. Fair value hedges

Fair value hedges meeting the accounting criteria are accounted for as follows: (i) gain or loss from changes in fair value of a hedge instrument shall be recognized in the statement of income as finance costs; and (ii) gain or loss from a hedged item attributable to the hedged risk shall adjust the recorded amount of the hedged item to be recognized in the statement of income, as finance costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortised cost, any adjustments to carrying value are amortised through profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedge using the effective interest method. Amortisation of the effective interest rate may begin as soon as an adjustment occurs and, at the latest, when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted by changes in its fair value attributable to the hedged risk.

If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in the statement of income.

When an unrecognized firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit and loss.

32.a.5.3. Classification between current and non-current

Derivative financial instruments are classified as current and non-current or segregated into short and long-term portions based on an evaluation of the contractual cash flows.

When the Company maintains a derivative as an economic hedge (and does not apply hedge accounting), for a period exceeding 12 months after the balance sheet date, the derivative is classified as non-current (or segregated into current and non-current portions), in line with the classification of the corresponding item.

The derivative instrument is segregated into current and non-current portions only when amounts can be reliably allocated.

Derivative instruments that are designated as effective hedging instruments are classified consistently with the classification of the underlying hedged item.

32.b. Critical estimates and judgments

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities stated in the balance sheet cannot be obtained in active markets, it will be determined using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. Data for these methods is based on those adopted in the market, whenever possible. However, when this is not feasible, a certain level of judgment is required for fair value determination. Judgment includes consideration of the inputs used, such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in the assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

32.c. Derivative transactions

The Company's contracting of derivative financial instruments is mainly intended to protect against the risk of inflation variation in leases indexed to the IPCA, in addition to protecting against exchange rate risk arising from liabilities in foreign currency. There are no derivative financial instruments for speculation purposes and possible effects from exchange rate risks are hedged.

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

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

Derivatives contracts include specific penalties for breach of contract. Breach of contract provided for in agreements made with financial institutions leads to the anticipated liquidation of the contract.

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

On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company heldno embedded derivatives contracts.

32.c.1. Fair value of derivative financial instruments

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

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

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

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

On December 31, 2024, and 2023, the derivatives financial instruments generated net results consolidated of positive R$69,008 and negative R$110,089, respectively (Note 28.).

32.c.4. Sensitivity analysis of the Company's risk variables

Publicly-held companies must disclose a sensitivity analysis table for each type of market risk considered relevant by Management, arising from financial instruments, to which the entity is exposed at the closing date of each period, including all operations with derivative financial instruments.

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

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

32.f. Risk management policy

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

32.f.1. Currency Risk

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

Hedging transactions were executed to minimize the risks associated with exchange rate changes on financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. This balance is subject to daily changes due to the dynamics of the business. However, the Company intends to cover the net balance of these assets and obligations (US$40,295 thousand,€15,988 thousand and£71 thousand paid by December 31, 2024, and US$33,796 thousand,€18,409 thousand and£66 thousand paid by December 31, 2023) to mitigate its foreign exchange risks.

32.f.2. Interest and Inflation Risk

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

To reduce exposure to the floating interest rate (CDI), the Company and its subsidiaries invested cash equivalents of R$6,542,862 and R$4,289,932 on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, mostly in short-term CDI-based financial investments (CDBs). The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values, as they may be redeemed in the short term.

32.f.3. Liquidity Risk

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

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

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

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

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

32.f.4. Credit Risk

The credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses resulting from the difficulty in receiving billed amounts related to the provision of services and the sale of handsets and equipment to its B2C and B2B customers, in addition to the sale of handsets and pre-activated prepaid cards to the distributor network.

Credit risk with accounts receivable is diversified and minimized through strict control of the customer base and constant risk analysis. The Company constantly monitors the level of accounts receivable and limits the risk of overdue accounts by cutting off access to the telephone line if the invoice is past due. For the prepaid mobile customer base, which requires advance loading, there is no credit risk. Exceptions are made for emergency services that must be maintained for reasons of national security or defense.

Credit risk on sales of pre-activated prepaid handsets and cards is managed through a prudent policy for granting credit, using modern credit scoring methods, analyzing financial statements and consultations to commercial databases, in addition to requesting guarantees.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk arising from their investments, letters of guarantee received as collateral for certain transactions and receivables from derivative transactions. The Company and its subsidiaries control the credit limits granted to each counterpart and diversify this exposure across first-tier financial institutions as per current credit ratings of financial counterparties.

32.f.5. Insurance Coverage

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

On December 31, 2024, the maximum limits of claims (established pursuant to the agreements of each entity consolidated by the Company) for significant assets, liabilities or interests covered by insurance and their respective total R$900,000 for operational risks (including business interruption) and R$75,000 for general civil liability.

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

  1. Other matters

35.a. Environmental Risks

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

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

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

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

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

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

35.b. Compliance

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

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

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

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

  1. Subsequent Events

36.a. Reverse Split and Split of the Company's shares

On January 29, 2025, the Company, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 157, paragraph 4, of Corporate Law and CVM Resolution No. 44/2021, hereby informed its shareholders and the market in general that, at a meeting held on this date, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the convening of an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to be held, on first call, on March 13th, 2025 (“ESM”), to deliberate on the proposal to reverse split all the common shares issued by the Company, in the proportion of 40 shares to 1 share, and subsequently split, so that 1 grouped share corresponds to 80 shares, without any change to the Company’s capital stock value, but solely to its total number of shares (“Operation”), with the consequent amendment to the Company’s Bylaws. The proposed Operation does not imply a change in the total amount of securities of the Company traded on the American stock market (American Depositary Receipt - “ADR”).

The Operation aims to provide greater liquidity to the shares issued by the Company and, consequently, improve the process of forming its price by increasing the quantity of outstanding shares effectively negotiated and adjusting its price. In addition, the Operation aims to: (i) reduce operational and administrative costs resulting from the current configuration of the Company's shareholder base; (ii) provide greater efficiency in managing its shareholder base; (iii) improve the efficiency of book-entry share registration and custody systems, (iv) enhance the provision of information and communication, improving the service to shareholders, and (v) provide greater efficiency in distributing proceeds to the Company's shareholders.

The proposed Operation considers the implementation according to the following procedures: (i) the authorization for the Company’s Executive Board to define the date to start the procedures to implement the Operation, which should be within a period of 6 months from the date of the ESM; (ii) once the Executive Board defines the date to start the procedures to implement the Operation, a period of not less than 30 days will be determined for the shareholders holding common shares of the Company to, if necessary, aggregate their shares into whole lots in multiples of 40, at their own discretion ("Position Adjustment Period"); and (iii) after the end of the Position Adjustment Period, any fractional shares held by shareholders who have not adjusted their position in multiples of 40 shares will be grouped into whole numbers and sold at an auction, to be held at B3 on behalf of the holders of the fractions. The net proceeds from the sale of these shares will be proportionally distributed among all holders of the fractional shares, on a date and in a manner to be informed in due course by the Company, with amounts belonging to unidentified holders being held at the Company for the legal period, for collection by the respective holder upon providing full registration information.

The proposal, to be submitted to the ESM, considers that the Operation: (i) will be applied to all Company shareholders; (ii) will not result in a change in the value of Company's share capital, (iii) will not modify the rights conferred by the Company's issued shares to its holders; and (iv) will imply in the change alongside the execution of the Operation, of the number of shares composing each ADR, with 1 ADR then representing 2 common shares issued by the Company, not changing the total number of outstanding ADRs.

The company will promptly disclose further details regarding the procedures to be adopted for the implementation of the Operation, including information about the Position Adjustment Period and the procedures relating to the Auction.

36.b. Declaration of Interest on Equity

At a meeting held on February 13, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved the declaration of interest on equity (“IOE”), in accordance with article 26 of the Company's Bylaws, article 9 of Law no. 9,249/1995 and CVM Resolution No. 143/2022, in the gross amount of R$180,000, equivalent to R$0.11093237960 per common share, net of income tax at source corresponding to R$153,000, equivalent to R$0.09429252266 per common share, calculated based on the balance sheet as of January 31, 2025.
