date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release
publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
You should also consider carefully the statements
under “Risk Factors,” in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F and our other periodic reports filed with the SEC, which

investors not to place significant reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 6-K.
Presentation
of Financial and Certain Other Information
Financial Information
Historical Financial Information
The financial information presented in this Form
6-K has been derived from the following:
Vitru
| · | our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the six month periods ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, together with the notes thereto, not included in this Form 6-K; |
| · | our audited consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and
2019, together with the notes thereto, not included in this Form 6-K; |
UniCesumar
| · | the unaudited interim condensed financial information of UniCesumar as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, included elsewhere
in this Form 6-K; and |
| · | the audited financial statements of UniCesumar as of December 31, 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, together
with the notes thereto, not included in this Form 6-K. |
The consolidated financial statements of Vitru
and the financial information of UniCesumar are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and are presented in Brazilian
reais. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Vitru and UniCesumar are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standard IAS No. 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as issued by the
IASB and are presented in Brazilian reais.
UniCesumar Business Combination
We completed the UniCesumar Business Combination
on May 20, 2022, following the receipt of final antitrust approval on May 18, 2022. The closing purchase price (subject to certain post-closing
adjustments) amounted to R$3.28 billion, payable as follows: (i) 65.9% in cash on the closing date; (ii) 25.9% in stock through the issuance
of 7,182,385 new Common Shares (5,144,383 Common Shares issued and delivered on the closing date and 2,038,002 Common Shares to be withheld
for a specified term as an indemnification guarantee), all of which are subject to a six-month lock-up period; and (iii) 16.0% in cash,
to be paid 12 months after the closing date, as adjusted by the Brazilian Consumer Prices Index (Índice Nacional de Preços
ao Consumidor Amplo) inflation rate beginning as from the closing date. Other related payments may include an earn-out payment of
R$1.0 million per additional medical seat approved within 36 months after closing, a performance earn-out payment of up to R$50.0 million
up to two years after the closing date, and a five-year non-compete agreement with the Matos family, the former shareholders of UniCesumar,
for R$180.0 million. Integration of the activities and results of operations of UniCesumar began on the closing date.
We began to consolidate UniCesumar within its
results of operations as of May 20, 2022. As a result of the UniCesumar Business Combination, the comparability of our financial information
as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, with our financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2021, is limited. The
UniCesumar Business Combination is accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting.
Pro Forma Financial Information
We are also presenting our unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income
statement for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes thereto.
Financial Information in U.S. Dollars
Solely for the convenience of the reader, we have
translated some of the real amounts included in this Form 6-K from reais into U.S. dollars. You should not construe these
translations as representations by us that the amounts actually represent these U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars
at the rates indicated or any other rate. Unless otherwise indicated, we have translated real amounts into U.S. dollars using a
rate of R$5.2380 to US$1.00, the commercial purchase rate for U.S. dollars as of June 30, 2022, as reported by the Brazilian Central Bank.
The rate at June 30, 2022, which is the rate used for currency translations of certain amounts in this Form 6-K, may differ materially
from the exchange rate as of the date of this Form 6-K or any other date.
Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 6-K presents our Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
Net Income and Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations information for the convenience of investors, which are non-GAAP financial
measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes
amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure.
We calculate Adjusted
EBITDA as net income (loss) for the period plus:
| · | deferred and current income tax, which is calculated based on our income, adjusted based on certain additions and exclusions provided
for in applicable legislation. The income taxes in Brazil consist of corporate income taxes (Imposto de Renda Pessoa Jurídica),
or “IRPJ,” and, social contribution taxes (Contribuição Social sobre o Lucro Líquido), or “CSLL;” |
| · | financial results, which consists of interest expenses less interest income; |
| · | depreciation and amortization; |
| · | interest on tuition fees paid in arrears, which refers to interest received from students on late payments of monthly tuition fees
and which is added back; |
| · | impairment of non-current assets, which consists of impairment charges associated with our on-campus undergraduate courses segment,
given the deterioration in the prospects of this business; |
| · | share-based compensation plan, which consists of non-cash expenses related to the grant of share-based compensation, as well as fair
value adjustments for share-based compensation expenses classified as a liability in our consolidated financial statements; |
| · | other income (expenses), net, which consists of other expenses such as contractual indemnities and deductible donations among others; |
| · | M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring expenses, which consists of adjustments that we believe are appropriate to provide
additional information to investors about certain material non-recurring items. Such M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring
expenses comprise: (i) mergers and acquisitions, or M&A, and pre-offering expenses, which are expenses related to mergers, acquisitions
and divestments (including due diligence, transaction and integration costs), as well as the expenses related to the preparation of offerings;
and (ii) restructuring expenses, which refers to expenses related to employee severance costs in connection with organizational and academic
restructurings. |
We calculate Adjusted
Net Income as net income (loss) for the period plus:
| · | share-based compensation plan, as defined above; |
| · | M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring expenses, as defined above; |
| · | impairment of non-current assets, as defined above; |
| · | amortization of intangible assets recognized as a result of business combinations, which refers to the amortization of the following
intangible assets from business combinations: software, trademark, digital |
education operation licenses, non-compete
agreements, customer relationship and teaching-learning material. For more information, see note 15 to our audited consolidated financial
statements;
| · | interest accrued at the original effective interest rate (excluding restatement as a result of inflation) on the accounts payable
from the acquisition of subsidiaries, related to the acquisition of our operating units from Kroton in 2016 and 2017. See note 18 to our
audited consolidated financial statements; and |
| · | corresponding tax effects on adjustments, which represents the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from adjusted net income (loss).
The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from adjusted net income (loss) is computed using the statutory rate related to the jurisdiction
that was impacted by the adjustment after taking into account the impact of permanent differences and valuation allowances. |
We calculate Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from
Operations as adjusted cash flow from operations (which we calculate as cash from operations plus income tax paid) divided by
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above but without taking M&A, pre-offering expenses and restructuring expenses into consideration).
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted
Cash Flow Conversion from Operations are the key performance indicators used by us to measure the financial performance of our core operations
and we believe that these measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. As a result, our management believes
that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and shareholders. The non-GAAP financial measures described
in this Form 6-K are not a substitute for the IFRS measures of earnings. Additionally, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net
Income and Adjusted Cash Flow Conversion from Operations may be different from the calculations used by other companies, including our
competitors in the education services industry, and therefore, our measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. For a reconciliation
of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to our profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020 and 2019, as well as reconciliations between Free Cash Flow and net cash flows from operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, to the most directly comparable IFRS measure,
see “Summary Financial and Other Information—Reconciliations for Non-GAAP Financial Measures of Vitru.”
Market Share and Other Information
This Form 6-K contains data related to economic
conditions in the market in which we operate. The information contained in this Form 6-K concerning economic conditions is based on publicly

information (including information available from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, website) and industry
publications. We obtained the information included in this Form 6-K relating to the industry in which we operate, as well as the estimates

Industry publications generally state that the
information they include has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information
is not guaranteed. Although we have no reason to believe any of this information or these reports are inaccurate in any material respect
and believe and act as if they are reliable, we have not independently verified it. Governmental publications and other market sources,
including those referred to above, generally state that their information was obtained from recognized and reliable sources, but the accuracy
and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. In addition, the data that we compile internally and our estimates have not been
verified by an independent source.

| (3) | In December 2019, we decided to sell our subsidiaries FAC and FAIR and the undergraduate operations on the campuses of Assevim and
Famesul, which account for a portion of our on-campus undergraduate courses segment. As a result of this decision we classified the related
assets and liabilities as “held for sale” in 2019, since we understood that these assets available for immediate sale in their
present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for these types of transactions, that this sale was likely to occur
given then existing plans and was expected to occur within the next six months, and that an active program to locate a buyer and complete
the plan had been initiated. However, in September 2020, as a result of our receipt of the proceeds from our initial public offering and
the course of events during 2020, we came to the conclusion that there was no further reason to sell these assets immediately. |

Business of
Unicesumar
Overview of UniCesumar
Vitru completed the UniCesumar Business Combination
on May 20, 2022, creating a growing player in the post-secondary digital education market and the largest player in terms of digital education
enrolled students in Brazil according to the most recent INEP data available.
UniCesumar was founded in 1989 by a group of teachers
led by Professor Wilson de Matos Silva and has become one of the 10 largest education groups in Brazil by number of enrolled students,
according to an INEP census published by the MEC in February 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, UniCesumar had 408,113 enrolled
students. UniCesumar has been able to grow at scale while maintaining a high-quality education value proposition for its student base.
In 2021, it achieved an IDD of 3.00, which is 9% above the private digital education market’s average.

UniCesumar’s Business Model
UniCesumar’s core business is to provide
high-quality education and is a complete educational platform with three verticals:
Digital Education
UniCesumar started to offer digital education
courses in 2006. Digital education has since become UniCesumar’s main source of revenue and has also been an important growth driver,
boosted by a fast-paced expansion of new hubs. UniCesumar has successfully expanded into digital education while maintaining its high-quality
standards, supported by a best-in-class hub infrastructure, differentiated digital learning experience enabled by the Studeo platform
and its proprietary learning methodology. In digital education, UniCesumar has 392,241 undergraduate and graduate students served through
a network of 1,027 hubs spread across Brazil and five international hubs.
We believe that UniCesumar’s digital, fully
online and hub-based model is highly scalable. This model is supported by a tech-enabled methodology and high-quality hubs, which increase
student engagement and create entry barriers. In turn, on-campus education is supported by a best-in-class campus infrastructure and its
unique methodology, which has combined theory and practical applications since the inception of the courses, resulting in a better academic
quality when compared to its peers, and is recognized by the MEC’s maximum CI score of “5”.
Continuing Education
UniCesumar offers almost 700 short-duration courses
(cursos livres), more than 100 digital education undergraduate courses, and 100 on-campus undergraduate courses predominantly
in law, engineering, IT, andhealth-related courses. Courses are offered in two different versions, which are (i) 100% online, and (ii)
on-campus. In addition to undergraduate courses, it offers master and doctoral programs on the campus located in Maringá.
On-Campus Education
UniCesumar’s on-campus education offerings
are supported by a brand legacy of over 30 years as a regional leader, serving its 15,359 undergraduate students through five campuses
located in the south region of Brazil in the cities of Maringá, Curitiba, Ponta Grossa and Londrina, in the state of Paraná,
and Corumbá, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. It offers a broad course portfolio, such as courses in law, psychology, dentistry
and medicine. On-campus students experience a complete learning ecosystem, mixing theory with practical applications as well as access
to sports activities and cultural events.
In terms of medical education, UniCesumar currently
has 348 approved medical seats for campuses located in Maringá in the state of Paraná and Corumbá in the state of
Mato Grosso do Sul. Its medical course ranked as the fifth-best medical course in Brazil among private institutions. UniCesumar’s
teaching program meets the Brazilian national curriculum guidelines, and uses active teaching and learning methods, such as problem-based
learning, which favor collaboration and problem solving skills applied to real world problems. In addition to relying on strong partnerships
with hospitals as well as local and regional public health services, we believe that UniCesumar’s courses stand out for their innovative
education, the excellence of their faculty, and the strength of the infrastructure dedicated to supporting students.
UniCesumar’s Strengths
UniCesumar’s vertical-based business model
gives it the following advantages:
| · | Strong demand and limited supply allows for a resilient revenue stream: The structural medical segment bottleneck enables UniCesumar
to combine a high average ticket of R$10,000 per month with a high-demand course structure, creating a profitable and predictable revenue
stream. |
| · | Highly scalable business model with operating leverage: In the digital education segment, UniCesumar is supported by its network
of long-term partners who are in charge of the day-to-day operations and are also responsible for general and administrative matters,
leases, and equipment, among other expenses related to the hub. This allows UniCesumar to focus on developing educational content, training
teachers and tutors, and accelerating hub expansion. |
| · | Significant contracted growth: UniCesumar expanded its digital education network in the last five years and the majority of
its hubs were opened in this period, thus there is a relevant organic growth driven by the maturation of hubs to be captured in the coming
years with limited execution risk. This effect in the digital education segment is reinforced by the medical vertical due to the process
of maturation of medical seats, which is expected to be reached by 2029. |
Geographic Presence
Since UniCesumar’s foundation, its headquarters
have been located in Maringá, in the state of Paraná. However, its digital education hubs extend its footprint across every
Brazilian state. Although both Vitru and UniCesumar are present across Brazil, we believe they are also complementary in terms of geographic
footprint, enabling larger potential synergies to be captured. The chart below shows the numbers of UniCesumar’s and Vitru’s
hub partners across different regions in Brazil.
In the Southern region of Brazil, UniCesumar is
stronger in the state of Paraná, while Vitru has a stronger presence in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. This
same complementary relationship is present in other regions. For example, Vitru has a robust presence in the North and Northeast regions
whereas UniCesumar has a stronger presence in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. In addition, there are currently more than
700 cities with a hub from either Vitru or UniCesumar, which we believe shows a potential to expand into cities where at least one of
the components of the future combined company already has a physical presence and knowledge of the local market.
Technology
UniCesumar provides a tech-enabled and differentiated
digital learning experience using a teaching method focused on the student and supporting the whole learning process for its student base.
In the center of this learning system is Studeo, UniCesumar’s proprietary platform with a universe of features, which connects
students, hub operating partners and teachers in a unique and easy-to-use digital environment. Studeo’s key differentials
are:
| · | One-click learning: Everything the student needs in one click. |
| · | Learning analytics: Ability to analyze 100% of the student’s journey. |
| · | All-in-one: Academic, secretary and support all in one place. |
The Studeo platform has achieved a rating
of 4.8 out of 5.0, considering a weighted average of the Apple and Google Play app stores.
UniCesumar also incorporates an intense use of
analytics in its intake and retention processes, and relies on its digital education centers, which are tailored to support the learning
process, to maximize the students experience and to keep churn at low rates. UniCesumar’s main retention initiatives are:
| · | Predictive retention: Entrance exam diagnosis identifies gaps and promotes adjustments in the students’ environment. |
| · | Preventive retention: Encourages students at each completed stage and rewards top performers. |
| · | Reactive retention: For every cancellation request, the system activates financial and academic support alternatives. |
Marketing and Sales
UniCesumar’s marketing and sales strategy
is shared with the hub operating partners. UniCesumar is responsible for marketing campaigns across Brazil as a whole, monitoring hub
performance and providing the partners with valuable information that helps the hub with attraction and retention of the student base.
Within this framework, the majority of UniCesumar’s enrollments are made through its partners.
Customer Service and Support
UniCesumar has the support of its hub operating
partners, who have a close relationship with students, to provide students with the best customer service experience. The partners have
access to a common information system maintained by UniCesumar, which helps address students’ academic issues efficiently.
UniCesumar’s Market Opportunity
According to a study published in February 2020
by Educa Insights, the digital education for adults sector in Brazil has a total addressable market of 31.4 million students across undergraduate,
postgraduate, technical and professional qualification courses, equivalent to R$104.7 billion in revenues as of 2020.
Similar to Vitru, UniCesumar’s market opportunity
is focused on the private digital education undergraduate segment, the fastest-growing segment in the Brazilian education market, with
a CAGR of 24.3% from 2016 to 2020 in terms of number of registered students. This growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic,
which forced students to shift to remote learning and rethink the necessity of an on-campus education, particularly since digital education
is approximately 70% cheaper.
UniCesumar’s high-quality signature drove
its student base growth in the past five years, being the institution that gained the most enrolled students in this period among all
competitors that are listed companies in Brazil. In this period, its market share increased 42.6%, considering the private digital education
market, reaching approximately 6.5% in 2020, as shown in the chart below:
Source: INEP.
Despite Vitru and UniCesumar’s similar
focus on the digital education undergraduate market and growth in the last years, the two have complementary models. While UniCesumar
operates a fully online hub-based model targeting a more autonomous and tech-savvy student, Vitru is focused on a medium to low average
income audience, which requires a hand-holding approach provided by the tutor-centric business model. We believe that the complementary
nature of the businesses of UniCesumar and Vitru has the potential to expand the combined company’s addressable market.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, UniCesumar is involved in disputes
that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Any claims against UniCesumar, whether meritorious or not, can be time consuming, result
in costly litigation, require significant management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.
UniCesumar is subject to a number of judicial
and administrative proceedings which it believes are common and incidental to our business operations. UniCesumar recognizes provisions
for legal proceedings in its financial statements, in accordance with accounting rules, when UniCesumar is advised by independent outside
counsel that (1) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (2) a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation. The assessment of the likelihood of loss includes analysis by outside counsel of available evidence,
the hierarchy of laws, available case law, recent court rulings and their relevance in the legal system. UniCesumar’s provisions
for probable losses arising from these matters are estimated and periodically adjusted by management. In making these adjustments UniCesumar’s
management relies on the opinions of its external legal advisors.
However, legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable
and subject to significant uncertainties. If one or more cases were to result in a judgment against us in any reporting period for amounts
that exceed UniCesumar’s management’s expectations, the impact on its results of operations or financial condition for that
reporting period could be material.
As of June 30, 2022, UniCesumar was a party to
349 legal proceedings, in an aggregate amount of R$7.0 million. Of these proceedings, UniCesumar was a party to 54 legal proceedings for
claims in the total amount of R$1.9 million, where the likelihood of loss has been assessed by UniCesumar’s management as probable
based on the opinion of its external legal advisors. UniCesumar was also a party to 291 legal proceedings totaling R$4.9 million, where
the likelihood of loss has been assessed by UniCesumar’s management as possible based on the opinion of its external legal advisors.
As of June 30, 2022, UniCesumar has recorded provisions in the amount of R$1.9 million for all proceedings where the likelihood of loss
is probable.
For further information, see note 17 to UniCesumar’s
unaudited interim condensed financial information included elsewhere in this Form 6-K.
Intellectual Property
UniCesumar relies on a combination of trademark,
domain names and trade secret laws, as well as employee and third-party non-disclosure, confidentiality and other types of contractual
arrangements to establish, maintain and enforce its intellectual property rights, including with respect to our proprietary rights related
to UniCesumar’s products and services. In addition, UniCesumar licenses technology from third parties.
As of June 30, 2022, UniCesumar owns a number
of trademarks, including “UniCesumar”, “Cesumar”, “UC UniCesumar” and “Comunidade do Conhecimento”.
UniCesumar also owns a number of domain names registered in Brazil, including “unicesumar.edu.br,” “cesumar.edu.br,”
“unicesumar.com.br” and “unicesumaraovivo.com.br.”
Properties
UniCesumar’s corporate headquarters and
our principal executive offices, which include the majority of its product development, sales, marketing, and business operations, are
located in Maringá in the state of Paraná. UniCesumar’s principal executive offices consist of approximately 10,542
square feet of space under a lease that expires in 2042. UniCesumar also has leased facilities in several other locations, including Curitiba
in the State of Paraná, Corumbá in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, and Ponta Grossa in the State of Paraná.

Recent Developments
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Like Vitru, UniCesumar is closely monitoring the
situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and taking the necessary measures for the safety and well-being of its employees, students, associates
and partners. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to UniCesumar’s future performance
and financial results. In particular and in the interest of public health and safety, state and local governments in certain parts of
Brazil have required temporary mandatory school closures, which has resulted in the closure of on-campus learning facilities and hubs.
In response to the pandemic, UniCesumar has implemented
several measures aimed at safeguarding the health of its employees, students and hub partners as well as the stability of our operations.
These measures include: (i) guidance to employees, students and visitants, with pamphlets, emails, posters and banners; (ii) monitoring
of employees contaminated with COVID-19 and under suspicion of contamination; (iii) distribution of cloth masks to all employees; (iv)
distribution of alcohol gel hand sanitizer; (v) distribution of alcohol sanitizer 70%, for the cleaning of furniture; (vi) installation
of alcohol gel sanitizer dispensers throughout the institution; (vii) thermometers for temperature measurement on the entrance of all
blocks; (viii) installation of movement sensors to automatically open the bathroom doors; (ix) supervision of number of individuals per
environment, observing all decrees; (x) formulation of a Contingency Plan for students and employees; and (xi) individualized training
kits.
Due to uncertainties related to the dynamics of
COVID-19’s spread, the emergence of new variants of the virus, the speed and efficacy of vaccine roll-outs, the effects on the economic
activities on UniCesumar’s customers and suppliers and the measures to be adopted in Brazil, it is impossible to predict the impact
the pandemic will have on the global economy going forward, as well as on UniCesumar’s business. The extent of the impact of COVID-19
on UniCesumar’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of
the pandemic and its impact on students, hub partners and employees, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
As of the date hereof, there has been no material
impact on UniCesumar’s operations, as most of UniCesumar’s services were already delivered remotely (digital education undergraduate
courses and most continuing education courses) or capable of being delivered remotely (some continuing education courses and on-campus
undergraduate courses).
Closing of Vitru Business Combination
On May 20, 2022, UniCesumar closed its business

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Vitru
The following discussion of our financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June
30, 2022, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the notes thereto, and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects” in our 2021 Annual Report.
The following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those expressed
or implied in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Special Note on Forward-Looking
Statements” included elsewhere in this Form 6-K and “Risk Factors” included in our 2021 Annual Report.
Overview of Vitru
We provide a complete pedagogical system focused
on a hybrid digital education experience for undergraduates and continuing education students. Between 2016 and 2020, we grew at a CAGR
of 41.9% in terms of enrolled students in our undergraduate digital education programs, as shown in the chart below.
Source: INEP.
| Note: | The data presented in this chart for the period from 2010 to 2020 is derived from publicly available information published by INEP
for market share comparability purposes. It is calculated by INEP by applying the same metrics for all postsecondary education institutions
in Brazil. This data may not be directly comparable with data derived from our internal records included elsewhere in this Form 6-K or
in our 2021 Annual Report. |
We offer a differentiated digital education experience
to our students through our innovative hybrid model, which emphasizes flexibility, affordability and a strong relationship with all stakeholders
engaged in our platform. Our hybrid and technology-enabled content is delivered both digitally and through in-person weekly meetings led
by highly-trained tutors on our extensive hub network. We believe that this unique tutor-centered learning experience sets us apart, creating
a stronger sense of community and belonging and contributing to higher engagement and retention rates of our student base.
Our hub partners, who own 93.3% of our hubs as
of June 30, 2022, are compensated by their respective share represented by a given percentage over the tuition fee collected by us from
students. The total amount to be transferred to the hub partners on a monthly basis is derived from the pricing terms agreed upon with
each student in the service agreement. This percentage is similar across all our partnership agreements and varies in accordance with
the type of course the student is enrolled in, which are higher for continuing education courses and lower for undergraduate courses.
In addition, this percentage is higher in the beginning of the hubs’ operations and decreases throughout their life cycle, thus
reducing their payback period and increasing the attractiveness of their investment.
Therefore, as hubs mature, we should experience an increase in our
gross revenue (higher than the increase in tuition fees in the same period) as a result of lower tuition share allocated to our hub partners.
We have built and nurtured strong relationships with more than 500 hub partners, who play a key role in our expansion.
Our proven quality has allowed us to accelerate
the growth of our business and further differentiate ourselves. As of June 30, 2022, our CI score, which is measured and published by
MEC and is based on institutional planning and development, academic and management criteria, was 5 (on a scale of 1 to 5), enabling us
to open up to 750 hubs per year, 250 hubs at each of our three institutions accredited to offer digital education undergraduate courses,
compared to a maximum of 150 and 50 new hubs per year for institutions scoring up to 4 and 3, respectively. We offer the highest quality
standards in higher education in Brazil, as evaluated by the MEC.
Since March 2020 our business, financial condition
and results of operations have been affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are closely monitoring the evolution of the COVID-19
pandemic in Brazil and globally, in order to take preventive measures to minimize the spread of the virus, ensure the continuity of operations
and safeguard the health and safety of our personnel. For additional information, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—A.
History and Development of the Company—Our History—COVID-19 Pandemic in our 2021 Annual Report” for information on the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and also “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating
to Our Business and Industry—The COVID-19 pandemic may cause an adverse effect in our operations, including the partial closure
of our business. The extension of the COVID-19 pandemic, the perception of its effects, or the way in which such pandemic will impact
our business, either on a microeconomic or on a macroeconomic level, are subject to uncertain and unforeseeable future developments, which
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow” in our 2021 Annual Report.
Our Business Economics and Cohorts
We believe our business model and our value proposition
to our students has resulted in best-in-class economics for our hubs network, which plays a pivotal role in our organic growth strategy.
We believe an annualized cohort analysis is a
useful indicator of demand for our services. We define a cohort as the number of new hubs opened in a given year.
We track the cohorts on a semi-annual basis. Our
strong cohorts are driven by the maturation of our hubs, our high retention rates, especially after the first year of enrollment, the
expansion of our offering (e.g., new courses) and annual tuition adjustments.
The result of our recent cohorts demonstrates
our successful track record in developing our educational system as set out in the chart below.
(1) The number of hubs and students of
2022.1 has been revised following the closing of the UniCesumar Business Combination and is consistent aligned with Vitru’s criteria.
| Note: | The numbers in the chart above show the actual student base (in thousands), within each cohort, as of the end of each semester between
the first semester of 2017 and the first semester of 2022. The percentages on the vertical axis under the heading “CAGR” of
the chart above show the CAGR of our cohorts over the periods indicated. The number of students in our Uniasselvi mature hubs (which comprises
the hubs existing prior to 2017) grew at a CAGR of 1% between the first semester of 2017 and the first semester of 2022, while our 2017
cohort (which comprises the hubs opened in 2017), 2018 cohort (which comprises the hubs opened in 2018), 2019 cohort (which comprises
the hubs opened in 2019), 2020 cohort (which comprises the hubs opened in 2020), and 2021 cohort (which comprises the hubs opened in 2021)
grew at a CAGR of 56%, 65%, 89%, 153% and 304%, since their respective inception, driven by high intakes and retention rates, introduction
of undergraduate courses already offered in other operating hubs, and the natural maturation of each hub. |
Our Growth
We remain focused on our primary mission: to provide
students full access to digital education and improve their experience through an innovative student-centric model. We believe this focus
helped us grow and expand our business to several regions in Brazil in recent years, and is a key driver for differentiating ourselves
from our competitors. A large part of this growth was based on the strategic decision to start expanding into small and medium-sized cities
and being the first educational institution to implement units and provide access to higher education for residents of cities in the countryside
of Brazil. We aim to democratize access to education through a digital ecosystem and empower every student to create his or her own success
story.
Our revenue growth is a result of our business
model, which has been based on the opening of new hubs, ramp-up of current hubs, annual price adjustments and expansion of course offerings,
as described below:
| · | Grow Our Base of Uniasselvi Hubs. We expect to
continue to launch new hubs to increase our coverage and market penetration. We believe our strategy of targeting small-sized, medium-sized
and underserved cities provides us with a significant growth opportunity. In addition, we believe that we are well positioned to grow
in denser regions, such as the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where our presence is still relatively small. |
| · | Maturation of Recently-Opened Hubs. In the last years, we significantly increased the number of students per hub in
the 2019, 2020 and 2021 cohorts. As of June 30, 2022, 90.6% of our 2,028 hubs were opened in the last five years (i.e., since the second
semester of 2017) and are still ramping up (91.1% of our 939 hubs as of December 31, 2021), and we believe there is space to grow our
operations, margins and student base. The maturation of a hub takes at least eight semesters, or four years, which is the average duration
of a course, and the number of students per hub may continue to grow after such period as hubs gain more local recognition over time. |
| · | Tuition Fees. We typically adjust our tuition fees on an annual basis, at rates above the variation of inflation indices
for the previous twelve months. |
| · | Mix of Courses. We have continuously added high-value courses to our portfolio over time, such as engineering and health-related
courses, contributing to higher margins. |
Key Business Metrics
We review the following key metrics to evaluate
our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions:
Enrolled Students
The number of enrolled students is one of the
most significant operational metrics tracked by our management. It represents the total number of students enrolled in the courses we
provide. Our number of enrolled students as of June 30, 2022, increased significantly compared to our number of enrolled students as of
December 31, 2021, as a result of the closing of the UniCesumar Business Combination on May 20, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we
had 811,540 and 365,433 enrolled students, respectively, representing a CAGR of 27.8% from 2017 to 2021.
In our digital education undergraduate courses,
our first core business, we had 740,881 and 304,060 students as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, representing a
CAGR from 2017 to 2021 of 30.0%.
In our digital education graduate courses, our
second core business, we had 48,684 and 55,115 students as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, representing a CAGR
of 24.5% from 2017 to 2021.

Contribution of Digital Education to Total Enrolled
Students
We believe the metric that best shows our focus
on digital education (comprising both undergraduate courses and continuing education courses) and its relevance to our course offerings
is the number of enrolled students from digital education as a percentage of our total enrolled students.
The following table sets forth the percentage
of digital education students to total enrolled students as of the dates presented.

Number of Hubs
We have substantially expanded our operations
and geographic presence throughout Brazil with the opening of new hubs in the last years. The number of hubs is one of the drivers that
enable us to increase our base of enrolled students.
Our network as of June 30, 2022, consisted of
2,028 compared with 939 hubs as of December 31, 2021, representing a CAGR of 43.6% from 2017 to 2021.

Maturation Index
We believe the number of students per hub in each
cohort is useful to show hub maturation and the ramp-up in our hubs’ operations as they attract and maintain new students from our
digital education undergraduate courses. We expect mature hubs to have approximately 800 students per hub. We have developed a maturation
index to assess our hubs’ progress against our expectations.
We calculate the maturation index as the actual
number of students per hub not yet considered mature (which we call “expansion hubs”) divided by the number of students we
expect such hub to achieve once it has matured (i.e., the weighted average of students we expect to achieve according to the size of our
expansion hubs). The index comprises all expansion hubs as of the end of each period, and it can therefore decrease in a given quarter
if new expansion hubs are opened.
As of June 30, 2022, 90.6% of our 2,028 hubs were
still ramping up and the current maturation index of these expansion hubs was only 43.5%. We believe this shows our potential for growth.
We estimate that a typical hub reaches its full capacity in terms of number of students (and is deemed to be mature) after seven or eight
years of operations.

Tuition
We believe that the total amount of tuition we
charge (which is the sum of our gross revenue and hub partners’ portion less other academic revenue less cancellations),
considering only our digital education undergraduate business, is a useful metric to show the compelling strength of our growth and the
maturation of our hubs.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
UniCesumar Business Combination
We began to consolidate UniCesumar within its
results of operations as of May 20, 2022. As a result of the UniCesumar Business Combination, the comparability of our financial information
as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, with our financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2021, is limited.
Brazilian Macroeconomic Environment
All of our operations are located in Brazil. As
a result, our revenues and profitability are affected by political and economic developments in Brazil and the effect that these factors
have on the availability of credit, disposable income, employment rates and average wages in Brazil. Our operations, and the industry
in general, are particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions.
Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America,
as measured by gross domestic product, or GDP. The following table shows data for real GDP, inflation and interest rates in Brazil and
the U.S. dollar/real exchange rate at the dates and for the years indicated.

Inflation directly affects most of our current
operating costs and expenses, adjusted by reference to indexes that reflect the inflation rate such as the IGP-M or IPCA. For instance,
our most important cost component is personnel, which accounted for 44.1%, 49.9%, 49.9%, 54.3% and 48.6% of our total costs and expenses
in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is clearly impacted
by inflation rates. Historically, inflation has been offset by our ability to adjust our tuition fees in rates that are typically above
the variation of inflation indexes, due mostly to the increase in the content density and complexity over the course; however, this may
not necessarily continue to be the case in the future. Our financial performance is also tied to fluctuations in interest rates, such
as the CDI rate, because such fluctuations affect the value of our financial investments.
The recent economic instability in Brazil, the
deterioration of the political environment and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have all contributed to a decline in market confidence in
the Brazilian economy, and have had a significant effect on economic conditions in 2020, 2021 and early 2022. Business operations across
Latin America, Asia, Europe and the United States are being affected with factory disruptions and closures, quarantined workers and shortages
of components, with a direct impact on the availability of goods and services. These disruptions have impacted businesses generally. We
cannot predict when or whether economic conditions will stabilize. Unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in Brazil are expected to continue
throughout 2022. Brazilian GDP increased by 4.6% in 2021 but is expected to increase by 1.5% in 2022 according to the Brazilian federal
government.
Seasonality and Revenue Recognition
Our net revenue consists primarily of tuition
fees charged for our undergraduate and graduate courses. Revenue from tuition is recognized over time when services are rendered to the
customer and we meet our obligations under the services agreement at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be
entitled in exchange for those services. Revenue from tuition is recognized net of scholarships and other discounts, refunds and taxes.
Other revenue is recognized at a point in time when the service is rendered to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for the service. Other revenue is presented net of the corresponding discounts, refunds
and taxes.
Most of our net revenue is derived from students
who study in hubs managed by our hub partners. We enter into these partnerships through contracts with hub partners who provide support
centers with infrastructure for our students. Each hub partner is responsible for rental costs and property maintenance, as well as administrative
services, cleaning, local student service and infrastructure of the hubs. We typically enter into contracts with our hub partners for
an initial six-month term. The contracts are automatically renewable after the first six-month period and every six months thereafter
unless terminated in accordance with their terms.
Our hub partners are compensated by their respective
share represented by a given percentage over the tuition fee collected by us from students. The total amount to be transferred to the
hub partners on a monthly basis is derived from the pricing terms agreed upon with each student in the service agreement. This percentage
is similar across all our partnership agreements and varies in accordance with the type of course the student is enrolled in, which are
higher for continuing education courses and lower for undergraduate courses. In addition, this percentage is higher in the beginning of
the hubs’ operations and decreases throughout their life cycle, thus reducing their payback period and increasing the attractiveness
of their investment. Therefore, as hubs mature, we should experience an increase in our gross revenue (higher than the increase in tuition
fees in the same period) as a result of lower tuition share allocated to our hub partners. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B.
Business Overview—Our Business—Strong Network of Hub Partners” in our 2021 Annual Report for additional information
on our agreements with our hub partners.
Our digital education undergraduate courses are
structured around separate monthly modules. This enables students to enroll in digital education courses at any time during a semester.
Despite this flexibility, we generally experience a higher number of enrollments in digital education courses in the first and third quarters
of each year. These periods coincide with the beginning of academic semesters in Brazil. Furthermore, we generally experience a higher
number of enrollments at the beginning of the first semester of each year than at the beginning of the second semester of each year. This
is due to the high school calendar in Brazil in which classes end in December. In order to attract and encourage potential new students
to enroll in our undergraduate courses later in the semester, we often offer discounts, generally equivalent to the number of months that
have passed in the semester. As a result, we generally record higher revenue in the second and fourth quarters of each year. Revenue is
also higher later in the semester due to lower dropout rates during that same period.
A significant portion of our expenses are also
seasonal. Due to the nature of our intake cycle, a significant amount of selling and marketing expenses are incurred in connection with
the first semester intake, particularly in the first quarter of each year.
As a result, we expect quarterly fluctuations
in our revenue and operating results to continue. These fluctuations could result in volatility and adversely affect our performance,
liquidity and cash flows. As our business grows, these seasonal fluctuations may become more pronounced. As a result, we believe that
sequential quarterly comparisons of our financial results may not provide an accurate assessment of our results of operations.
Our operating results normally fluctuate as a
result of seasonal variations in our business. For further information, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry—Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our operating results to
fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and adversely impact our working capital and liquidity throughout the year, adversely affecting our
business, financial condition and results of operations” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”
in our 2021 Annual Report.
Printer Costs; Raw Materials
We outsource the printing and binding of our educational
materials. Printer costs are one of our principal costs, and printer fees are impacted by changes in the price of paper, one of the principal
raw materials required to produce our educational materials. The cost of paper is generally impacted by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/real
exchange rate, and is also impacted by inflation, but not necessarily linked to a specific inflation index. Such changes in prices are
reflected as inflation adjustments in the fees charged by our third-party printers, which produce our printed materials. To the extent
we cannot offset the impact of printer costs by adjusting the prices of our educational materials, our margins may be negatively affected.
Principal Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Revenue
Our revenue consists primarily of tuition fees
charged for digital education undergraduate courses, on-campus undergraduate courses, and continuing education courses. We also generate
revenue from student fees and certain education-related activities.
Revenue from tuition fees is recognized over time
when services are rendered to the customer and we satisfy our performance obligation under the contract at an amount that reflects the
consideration that we expect to receive for those services. Revenue from tuition fees is recognized net of scholarships and other discounts,
refunds and taxes.
Other revenue is recognized at a point in time
when the service is rendered to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive for those services.
Other revenue is presented net of the corresponding discounts, returns and taxes.
Joint Operations with Hub Partners
A hub is a local operating unit owned by us or
by third party hub partners. Each hub partner is responsible for offering students access to audiovisual resources, a library and information
technology support to enable students to take part in our digital education courses.
Our contractual agreements with each hub partner
set forth the terms and conditions of the hub as a joint operation. Such contractual agreements also establish the rights of each hub
partner to receive revenue from the operation of the hub and include provisions relating to expenses incurred in the operation of the
hub. Accordingly, the revenue from digital education courses and related accounts receivable are recognized only up to the portion of
the joint revenue to which we are entitled. We therefore record an obligation to pay hub partners under our trade payables when we receive
payments of monthly tuition fees from students.
Taxes Deducted from Gross Revenue
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net
of sales tax, except:
| · | when the sales taxes incurred on the purchase of goods or services are not recoverable from tax authorities, in which case the sales
tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquiring the asset or expense item, as applicable; and |
| · | when the amounts receivable or payable are stated with the amount of sales taxes included. |
The net amount of sales taxes, recoverable or
payable to the tax authority, is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position, and net of corresponding
revenue or cost/expense, in our statement of profit or loss.
Sales revenue in Brazil is subject to taxes and
contributions, at the following statutory rates:
| · | The PIS and the COFINS are contributions levied by the Brazilian federal government on gross revenue. These amounts are invoiced to
and collected from our customers. Given that we are acting as tax withholding agents on behalf of the tax authorities, these amounts are
recognized as deductions to gross revenue against tax liabilities. PIS and COFINS paid on certain purchases may be claimed back as tax
credits to offset amounts of PIS and COFINS which are payable. These amounts are recognized as recoverable taxes and are offset on a monthly
basis against taxes payable and presented net, as the amounts are due to the same tax authority. |
| · | PIS and COFINS are contributions calculated on two different regimes pursuant to the applicable Brazilian tax legislation: cumulative
method and non-cumulative method. The regulations applicable to PROUNI provide that the revenue from traditional and technical undergraduate
courses are exempt from PIS and COFINS. For income from other teaching activities, PIS and COFINS are charged based on the cumulative
method at rates of 0.65% and 3.00%, respectively, and for non-teaching activities, PIS and COFINS are charged based on the non-cumulative
method at rates of 1.65% and 7.6%, respectively. |
| · | ISS is a tax levied by municipalities on revenue from the provision of services. ISS tax is added to amounts invoiced to our customers
for the services we render. Given that we are acting as an agent collecting these taxes on behalf of municipal governments, these are
recognized as deductions to gross revenue against tax liabilities. The applicable rates may vary from 2.00% to 5.00%. |
| · | INSS is a social security charge levied on wages paid to employees. |
Cost of Services Rendered
Cost of sales consist primarily of expenses related
to services of providing classes and delivering our content and technology to our students, which are mainly composed of payroll, depreciation
and amortization, print expenses, freight, leases, utilities, cleaning, security and maintenance of our hubs.
Expenses
We classify our operating expenses as selling
expenses, general and administrative expenses, net impairment losses on financial assets and other income and expenses. The largest component
of our operating expenses is employee and labor-related expenses, which include salaries and bonuses and employee benefit expenses.
Selling expenses. Selling expenses consist
primarily of expenses with personnel related to sales and marketing activities, marketing and sales expenses, as well as expenses with
commercial consultants and projects.
General and administrative expenses. General
and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses related to general and administrative activities, depreciation and amortization,
leases, consulting and advisory services, contingencies and maintenance of our corporate offices.
Net impairment losses on financial assets.
Net impairment losses on financial assets expenses consist of provision for losses, effective losses and recovery on receivables. The
allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables are calculated on a monthly basis by analyzing the amounts invoiced in the
month, the monthly volume of receivables and the respective outstanding amounts by late payment range, calculating the recovery performance.
When the delay of receivables exceeds 365 days, the receivable is written down. Collection efforts continue even for written-off receivables
and their receipt is recognized directly in the statement of profit or loss, when incurred, as recovery of losses.
Other expenses. The other expenses are
contractual indemnities (such as insurance policies reimbursements), deductible donations and miscellaneous income and/or expense items.
Financial Income (Expenses)
Our financial income consists of interest on tuition
fees paid in arrears and the financial investments yield. The interest on tuition fees paid in arrears is recognized based on the time
elapsed, using the effective interest rate method. This financial income is calculated using the same effective interest rate used to
calculate the recoverable amount, that is, the original rate of trade receivables.
Financial expenses include interest expenses on
taxes payable in installments and other financial liabilities, including the interest accrued on accounts payable from the acquisition
of subsidiaries and on lease liabilities.
Income Tax
Tax Incentives
The postsecondary education companies which we
maintain are part of the PROUNI program. PROUNI provides, through Law No. 11,096, of January 13, 2005, exemption of certain federal taxes
imposed on postsecondary institutions that grant scholarships to low-income students enrolled in undergraduate courses and technology
graduate courses. The following federal taxes are included in the exemption: IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS.
For additional information on PROUNI, see “Item
4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulatory Overview—Financing Alternatives for Students: Incentive
Programs—University for All Program (PROUNI)” in our 2021 Annual Report.
Current Income Taxes
Income taxes in Brazil consist of IRPJ and CSLL.
According to Brazilian tax law, income taxes and social contribution are assessed and paid by each legal entity. The income tax payable
by each entity is calculated based on the entity’s income, adjusted based on certain additions and exclusions provided for in the
applicable legislation.
Current income taxes are calculated based on the
criteria established in Normative Ruling No. 1,394, of September 12, 2013, issued by the Brazilian internal revenue service (Receita
Federal do Brasil) in relation to the PROUNI program. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected
to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date. We periodically evaluate positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations
in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establish provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income tax and social contribution are
recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
We apply the liability method. However, deferred taxes are not accounted for if they arise from the initial recognition of an asset or
liability in a transaction other than a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect accounting nor taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit against which the temporary differences and/or tax losses may be utilized will be
available. Pursuant to Brazilian tax legislation, loss carry forwards can be used to offset up to 30% of taxable profit for the year and
do not expire.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences
arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for a deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference
is controlled by us and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented
net in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right and the intention to offset them upon the calculation
of current taxes. This generally occurs when the relevant assets and liabilities relate to the same legal entity and the same jurisdiction.
Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or in different jurisdictions are generally presented separately,
and not on a net basis.
Segment Reporting
We report on our operations according to the following
segments, each of which represents a main line of service from which we generate revenue: (i) digital education undergraduate courses;
(ii) continuing education courses, and (iii) on-campus undergraduate courses. For further information, see “Item 4. Information
on the Company—B. Business Overview—Our Business—Our Products and Services” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Net Revenue
Net revenue for the six months ended June 30,
2022, was R$485.8 million, an increase of R$168.7 million, or 53.2%, from R$317.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This
increase was attributable to increases in net revenue from digital education undergraduate courses and on-campus undergraduate courses,
which was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from continuing education courses, as set forth below:
| · | Revenue from digital education undergraduate courses. Revenue from digital education undergraduate courses for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, was R$399.9 million, an increase of R$140.0 million, or 53.9%, from R$259.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in the number of students enrolled in our digital education undergraduate
courses due to the expansion and maturation of our operational hubs, and to an increase of 12.6% in the average monthly ticket for digital
education undergraduate courses under the Uniasselvi brand in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months June 30, 2021. |
| · | Revenue from continuing education courses. Revenue from continuing education courses for the six months ended June 30, 2022,
was R$28.2 million, a decrease of R$3.1 million, or 9.8%, from R$31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in
revenue from continuing education courses was due to the reduction in the average duration of the graduate courses compared to the previous
year, as a result of market trends. |
| · | Revenue from on-campus undergraduate courses. Revenue from on-campus undergraduate courses for the six months ended June 30,
2022, was R$57.7 million, an increase of R$31.7 million, or 121.7%, from R$26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase
was primarily attributable to the consolidation of UniCesumar in our results of operations following the closing of the UniCesumar Business
Combination given that UniCesumar has significant on-campus activities. The effects of the consolidation of UniCesumar offset a decrease
in our revenue in this segment of R$5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily attributable to the ongoing
shift to digital education supported by the increased number and attractiveness of digital education undergraduate courses. |
Cost of Services Rendered
Cost of services rendered for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, was R$183.1 million, an increase of 62.6%, from R$112.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was
primarily attributable to an increase of R$16.6 million in personnel costs with the hiring of new tutors to support the growth of our
business, as well as an increase in depreciation of R$6.8 million driven by depreciation relating to content production, and amortization
of intangible assets from the UniCesumar Business Combination in an amount of R$1.8 million, in addition to the impact of the R$39.2 million
related to the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations into our own. Costs of services rendered amounted to 37.7% and
35.5% of net revenue in the six months ended June 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Gross Profit
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for
the six months ended June 30, 2022, was R$302.8 million, an increase of R$98.2 million, or 48.0%, from R$204.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. Our gross margin (defined as gross profit divided by net revenue) decreased from 64.5% in the six months ended June
30, 2021, to 62.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June
30, 2022, were R$237.9 million, an increase of R$80.0 million, or 50.7%, from R$157.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
These variations are attributable to the following:
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for the six months ended June
30, 2022, amounted to R$89.8 million, an increase of R$26.5 million, or 41.9%, from R$63.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
In addition to the impact from the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations of R$6.7 million into our own, this increase
was driven by an increase of R$13.3 million in online advertising costs, which are aimed primarily at attracting new students to our digital
education segment. Our selling expenses were also affected by an increase in the amortization of intangible assets from the UniCesumar
Business Combination in an amount of R$6.0 million related to customer relationships acquired in the business combination.
Our customer acquisition cost in the digital education
undergraduate segment decreased 5.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2022, to R$343.40 per new student compared to R$363.50 per new student
in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2022, were R$84.7 million, an increase of R$42.7 million, or 101.5%, from R$42.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, mainly due to an increase of R$6.9 million in personnel expenses and R$27.8 million of consultancy expenses related to
integration planning and financial advisory services for the UniCesumar Business Combination in addition to the impact from the consolidation
of UniCesumar’s results of operations of R$6.7 million into our own.
Net Impairment Losses on Financial Assets
Net impairment losses on financial assets for
the six months ended June 30, 2022, were R$64.3 million, an increase of R$11.4 million, or 21.6%, from R$52.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. On a relative basis, the margin of net impairment losses on financial assets decreased from 16.7% of net revenue
in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 13.2% of net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net impairment losses
on financial assets was primarily due to the impact of the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations into our own, which
accounted for R$6.3 million of the overall increase, and to an increase in our net revenue of 22.2%, or R$70.5 million, from the six months
ended June 30, 2021 to the six months ended June 30, 2022 (after excluding the results of UniCesumar from the date of acquisition to June
30, 2022), which resulted in an increase in the net impairment losses on financial assets. The reduction in the margin of net impairment
losses was driven by the fact that UniCesumar has more effective collection procedures in place than Vitru does and therefore has a lower
margin of net impairment losses, as a result of which the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results into our own led to a decrease in
Vitru’s consolidated net impairment margin, as well as:
| · | Net impairment losses on financial assets from digital education undergraduate courses. Net
impairment losses on financial assets from digital education undergraduate courses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were R$53.8
million, an increase of R$11.2 million, or 26.4%, from R$42.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The margin of net impairment
losses on financial assets from digital education undergraduate courses decreased from 13.4% of net revenues in the six months ended June
30, 2021, to 11.1% of net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition to the impacts of the contribution of UniCesumar
to our consolidated results, this increase was the result of an increase in the proportion of freshmen (instead of seniors) in each year
(compared to the immediately preceding year) in our digital education undergraduate courses, as freshmen have historically had a higher
rate of default. |
| · | Net impairment losses on financial assets from continuing education courses. Net impairment losses
on financial assets from continuing education courses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were R$4.2 million, a decrease of R$4.3
million, or 50.6%, from R$8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net impairment losses on financial assets
from continuing education courses was primarily due to the decrease in our net revenue in the applicable periods. The margin of net impairment
losses on financial assets from continuing education courses decreased from 27.2% of net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2021,
to 14.9% of net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the impact from the consolidation of UniCesumar results,
an increase in the recovery of write-off
uncollectible receivables during the year and a decrease in our organic net revenue in this segment.
|
| · | Net impairment losses on financial assets from on-campus undergraduate courses. Net impairment losses
on financial assets from on-campus undergraduate courses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were R$6.3 million, an increase of R$4.5
million, or 245.6%, from R$1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is mainly attributable to the impact of R$3.5
million from the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations into our own. |
Other Income, Net
Other income, net for the six months ended June
30, 2022, was R$1.0 million, an increase of R$0.6 million, or 129.6%, from R$0.4 million for the corresponding period in 2021. This increase
is attributable to the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations into our own.
Operating Profit
As a result of the foregoing, operating profit
for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was R$64.9 million, an increase of R$18.1 million, or 38.8%, from R$46.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021.
Financial Results
Financial results for the six months ended June
30, 2022, were an expense of R$47.3 million, an increase of R$33.8 million, or 250.2%, from an expense of R$13.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to:
| · | Financial Income. Financial income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was R$29.5 million, an
increase of R$11.7 million, or 65.4%, from R$17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable
to a R$7.7 million increase in financial investment yield due to an increase in the SELIC rate. |
| · | Financial Expenses. Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were R$76.7 million,
an increase of R$45.4 million, or 145.0%, compared to the previous year. This increase was primarily attributable to a R$28.7 million
increase in interest on loans as a result of the issuance of our Debentures. |
Profit before Taxes
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded profit
before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of R$17.6 million, a decrease of R$15.6 million, or 47.0%, compared to profit before
taxes of R$33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
2022, were a credit of R$27.2 million, an increase of R$23.2 million, from a credit of R$4.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021. This increase was primarily attributable to the following:
| · | Current Income Taxes. Current income taxes expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were an expense of R$7.6 million,
a decrease of R$10.2 million, or 57.3%, from an expense of R$17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a lower taxable profit; and |
| · | Deferred Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were a credit of R$34.8 million, an increase
of R$12.9 million, or 59.2%, from a credit of R$21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable
to the recognition of deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences and deferred income taxes related to intangible
assets from the business combinations with UniCesumar. |
Net Income for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of R$44.8 million, compared to a net income of R$37.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we
had R$113.1 million and R$75.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and financial investments, respectively. We believe that
our current available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and the cash flows from our operating activities will be sufficient
to meet our working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months.

Operating Activities
Our
net cash flows from operating activities increased by 76.2% to R$107.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, from R$61.2 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of the following variations. Our profit before taxes decreased to R$17.6 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2022, from R$33.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The adjustments to reconcile profit before
taxes to cash provided by operating activities increased to R$182.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, from R$100.4 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly as a result of R$51.1 million variation in accrued interests during the years compared.
Changes in our operating assets and liabilities
were principally affected by (i) an increase of R$110.5 million in trade receivables in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to
an increase of R$64.6 million in trade receivables in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in net
revenue due to the expansion of our business and the impact from the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations into our
own; and (ii) an increase of R$30.6 million in trade payables in the six months ended June 30, 2022, from R$2.8 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2021, as a result of the contribution of UniCesumar to the consolidated results.
Investing Activities
Our net cash flows provided by (used in) investing
activities varied to net cash used in investing activities of R$2.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022, from net cash provided
by investing activities of R$1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the payments for the acquisition
of interests in subsidiaries, net of cash obtained, and the impact from the consolidation of UniCesumar’s results of operations
into our own.
Financing Activities
Our net cash flows provided by (used in) financing
activities varied from net cash provided by financing activities of R$1,929.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared
to cash used in financing activities of R$5.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. This variation was primarily due to our issuance
on May 19, 2022, of two series of debentures, the first series containing 500 bonds maturing between November 2023 and May 2024, and the
second series containing 1,450 bonds maturing between May 2025 and May 2027. See “—Indebtedness” for more information.
Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our
total consolidated indebtedness was R$3,120.0 million and R$311.3 million, respectively, of which (i) R$1,939.2 million and zero, respectively,
consisted of obligations under our debentures, (ii) R$841.3 million and R$149.8 million, respectively, were accounts payable from the
acquisition of subsidiaries, and (iii) R$333.9 million and R$161.5 million, respectively, were lease liabilities. For further information
about our indebtedness, see notes 11, 14 and 16 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions of our Subsidiaries, including UniCesumar
On May 20, 2022, we closed our business combination
with UniCesumar. The closing purchase price (subject to certain post-closing adjustments) amounted to R$3.28 billion, payable as follows:
(i) 65.9% in cash on the closing date; (ii) 25.9% in stock through the issuance of 7,182,385 new common shares (5,144,383 common shares
issued and delivered on the closing date and 2,038,002 common shares to be withheld for a specified term as an indemnification guarantee);
and (iii) 16.0% in cash, to be paid 12 months after the closing date, as adjusted by the Brazilian Consumer Prices Index (Índice
Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo) inflation rate beginning from the closing date. Other related payments may include
an earn-out payment of R$1.0 million per additional medical seat approved within 36 months after closing, a performance earn-out payment
of up to R$50.0 million up to two years after the closing date, and a five-year non-compete agreement with the Matos family, the former
shareholders of UniCesumar, for R$180.0 million.
We completed the acquisitions of certain of our
other subsidiaries in 2016 and 2017. The remaining purchase price is payable annually through 2022 (bearing interest at its original effective
interest rate and as further adjusted by IPCA inflation rate). The subsidiaries, all of which we acquired from the Kroton group, are:
Sociedade Educacional Leonardo da Vinci S/S Ltda., Sociedade Educacional do Vale do Itapocu S/S Ltda., FAIR Educacional Ltda. and FAC
Educacional Ltda.
Loan Agreement with Santander Brasil
On April 16, 2020, we entered into a loan agreement
with Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. for R$150.0 million, with interest accruing at the CDI rate plus 3.6%. Such loan agreement matured
on October 18, 2021, and it has been fully repaid. Following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in late March 2020 and the then existing
uncertainties related to the overall economic scenario, our management decided to enter into this loan agreement to safeguard any possible
liquidity needs for the settlement of the then outstanding installment due in December 2021 relating to the acquisition of subsidiaries.
Such installment was initially estimated at R$150 million, but the effective disbursement was R$139.5 million, due to a discount negotiated
with the sellers. We settled the total amount of the loan principal on October 18, 2021, for a total amount of R$153.4 million. As of
June 30, 2022 and as of the date of this Form 6-K the was no aggregate principal amount outstanding under this loan agreement.
Debentures
On May 19, 2022, our wholly owned subsidiary,
Vitru Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio S.A., or Vitru Brazil,” completed an issuance of two
series of simple, secured, non-convertible debentures in an offering with restricted distribution efforts directed solely at professional
investors in Brazil, in compliance with Rule 476 of the Brazilian Securities Commission (Instrução da Comissão
de Valores Mobiliários). The aggregate principal amount of the debentures is R$1,950.0 million, comprised of Series 1 debentures
in an amount of R$500.0 million and Series 2 debentures in an amount of R$1,450.0 million. The Series 1 debentures and the Series 2 debentures
mature on May 15, 2024, and May 15, 2027, respectively.
The interest rate applicable to the debentures
is equal to the Brazilian daily interbank deposit rate (Depósito Interfinanceiro) plus a spread of 2.60% for the Series
1 debentures and 2.75% for the Series 2 debentures. If Vitru Limited does not undertake an equity offering in an amount of at least R$500.0
million within one year following the issuance, the spread on the Series 1 debentures and Series 2 debentures will increase to 2.90% and
3.20%, respectively.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures
were used by Vitru Brazil to pay part of the purchase price in connection with the UniCesumar Business Combination.
Vitru Brazil’s obligations under the debentures
are guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of Vitru, Sociedade Educacional Leonardo da Vinci Ltda., Sociedade Educacional do Vale do
Itapocu Ltda., Fac Educacional Ltda. and Fair Educacional Ltda. Following completion of the UniCesumar Business Combination, Vitru Brazil
will procure that UniCesumar becomes a guarantor of the debentures. Vitru Brazil’s obligations under the debentures are secured
by certain collateral in accordance with Brazilian law, including the share capital of UniCesumar and certain receivables of UniCesumar
from the provision of educational services. Pentágono S.A. Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários is the
fiduciary agent for the debentures.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures in the six months ended
June 30, 2022, totaled R$25.1 million, mainly due to R$13.6 million for internal project development, R$2.2 million for software acquisitions,
R$1.3 million for improvements in leased properties, R$2.9 million for furniture, equipment and facilities, R$2.4 million for refurbishments
related to the accessibility and modernization of certain of our facilities and R$2.6 million for other property and equipment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are presented in IFRS
as issued by the IASB. For summary information about critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, see “Item 5. Operating and
Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” in our 2021 Annual
Report and note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued
in 2022 applicable to us. The recently issued and adopted amendments and interpretations did not have any impact on the amounts recognized
in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
JOBS Act
We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS
Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those
standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will be
subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the
JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other
things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section
404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd –
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory
audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements
(auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive
compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply
for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth
company,” whichever is earlier.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary
course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures
about these market risks is described below.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value
or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of
changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and accounts payable from acquisition of subsidiaries,
subject in each case to variable interest rates, principally the Brazilian interbank deposit CDI rate and IPCA inflation rate.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table demonstrates our sensitivity
to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on short-term investments and accounts payable from acquisition of subsidiaries. With
all variables held constant, our profit before income taxes was affected by the impact on floating interest rate as follows as of June

In the table above, the probable scenario reflects
the closing rates of the fixed interest yield and inflation indices at year-end. The possible scenario projects a variation of 25% in
CDI and IPCA rates and the remote scenario projects a variation of 75% in these rates, including both increases and decreases in each
case, which are considered to be the largest hypothetical losses resulting from this risk factor.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will
not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk arises from our exposure
to third parties, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, as well as from its operating activities, primarily
related to trade receivables from customers.
Customer credit risk is managed by us based on
the established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly
monitored. See note 4 to our unaudited interim condensed financial statements and note 5 to our audited financial statements for additional
information on our trade receivables.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial
institutions is managed by our treasury department in accordance with our policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved
counterparties and within limits assigned to each counterparty.
Our maximum exposure to credit risk for the components
of the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is the carrying amounts of our financial
assets.
Liquidity Risk
Our management has responsibility for monitoring
liquidity risk. In order to achieve our objective, management regularly reviews the risk and maintains appropriate reserves, including
bank credit facilities with first tier financial institutions. Management also continuously monitors projected and actual cash flows and
the combination of the maturity profiles of the financial assets and liabilities.
The main requirements for financial resources
used by us arise from the need to make payments for suppliers, operating expenses, labor and social obligations and accounts payable from
acquisition of subsidiaries.
See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources”
and “—Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations” in this Form 6-K and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2021 Annual Report.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk results from a possible
change in foreign exchange rates that would affect the finance results (income and/or costs and expenses). Our exposure to foreign exchange
risks relates to a portion of our cash and cash equivalents. Our income before income taxes is affected by changes in exchange rates as
the latter may result in increases or decreases in our cash and cash equivalents.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Unicesumar
The following discussion of UniCesumar’s
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with UniCesumar’s audited financial statements as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the notes thereto.
The following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those expressed or
implied in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Special Note on Forward-Looking
Statements” included elsewhere in this Form 6-K and “Risk Factors” included in our 2021 Annual Report.
Overview of UniCesumar
Vitru completed the UniCesumar Business Combination
on May 20, 2022, creating a growing player in the post-secondary digital education market and the largest player in terms of digital education
enrolled students in Brazil according to the most recent INEP data available.
UniCesumar was founded in 1989 by a group of teachers
led by Professor Wilson de Matos Silva and has become one of the 10 largest education groups in Brazil by number of students, according
to the 2020 Postsecondary Education Census by the INEP. UniCesumar is a complete educational platform with three verticals: (i) digital
education courses, (ii) continuing education courses, and (iii) on-campus education courses.
As of December 31, 2021, UniCesumar had approximately
356,100 enrolled students. From 2016 to 2020, the number of students enrolled with UniCesumar grew at a CAGR of 42.6%, according to the
data from the Postsecondary Education Census by the INEP. UniCesumar has been able to grow at scale while maintaining a high-quality education
value proposition for its student base and has achieved an IDD of 3.00, which is 9% above the private digital education market’s
average.

Number of Hubs
UniCesumar has also expanded its operations and
geographic presence throughout Brazil with the opening of new hubs in the last years. The number of hubs is one of the drivers that enable
them to increase their base of enrolled students. UniCesumar operates five international hubs, located in Dubai, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom, the United States and Japan.
UniCesumar’s network consisted of 1,007
and 745 hubs across all Brazilian states, as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 679 hubs as of December 31, 2019, 502 hubs as
of December 31, 2018 and 277 hubs as of December 31, 2017, representing a CAGR of 46.9% from 2017 to 2021.
The following table sets forth the number of hubs
of UniCesumar as of the end of the periods presented.

Maturation Index
As is the case with Vitru, we believe that the
number of students per hub in each cohort is a useful measure of hub maturation and the ramp-up of a hub’s operations as the hub
attracts and maintains new students from its digital education undergraduate courses.
Applying a similar maturation index to Vitru’s,
UniCesumar’s maturation index can be calculated as the actual number of students per hub not yet considered mature (which Vitru
calls “expansion hubs”) divided by the number of students which we expect such hub to achieve once it has matured (i.e., the
weighted average of students UniCesumar expects to achieve as of the maturity of the same hubs). The index comprises all expansion hubs
as of the end of each period, and it can therefore decrease in a given quarter if new expansion hubs are opened.
As of December 31, 2021, 89.4% of UniCesumar’s
1,007 hubs were still ramping up and the current maturation index of these expansion hubs was only 38.0%, which shows significant potential
for growth. We estimate that a typical UniCesumar hub reaches its full capacity in terms of number of students (and is therefore deemed
to be mature) after seven or eight years of operations.

Tuition
We believe the total amount of tuition UniCesumar
charges (which is the sum of UniCesumar’s gross revenue and the hub partners’ portion less other academic revenue less
cancellations), considering only UniCesumar’s digital education undergraduate business, is a useful indicator to show UniCesumar’s
growth and maturation of hubs.

Factors Affecting UniCesumar’s Results of Operations
Brazilian Macroeconomic Environment
The majority of UniCesumar’s operations
are located in Brazil. As a result, UniCesumar’s revenues and profitability are affected by political and economic developments
in Brazil and the effect that these factors have on the availability of credit, disposable income, employment rates and average wages
in Brazil. UniCesumar’s operations, and the industry in general, are particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions.
Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America,
as measured by gross domestic product, or GDP. The following table shows data for real GDP, inflation and interest rates in Brazil and
the U.S. dollar/real exchange rate at the dates and for the years indicated.

Inflation directly affects most of UniCesumar’s
current operating costs and expenses, adjusted by reference to indexes that reflect the inflation rate such as the IGP-M or IPCA. For
instance, UniCesumar’s most important cost component is payroll expenses, which accounted for 55.7%, 58.9% and 52.9% of UniCesumar’s
total costs and expenses in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is clearly impacted by inflation rates.
Historically, inflation has been offset by UniCesumar’s ability to adjust its tuition fees in rates that are typically above the
variation of inflation indexes, due mostly to the increase in the content density and complexity over the course; however, this may not
necessarily continue to be the case in the future. UniCesumar’s financial performance is also tied to fluctuations in interest rates,
such as the CDI rate, because such fluctuations affect the value of UniCesumar’s financial investments.
The recent economic instability in Brazil, the
deterioration of the political environment and the COVID-19 pandemic have all contributed to a decline in market confidence in the Brazilian
economy, and had a significant effect on economic conditions in 2020, 2021 and early 2022. Business operations across Latin America, Asia,
Europe and the United States are being affected with factory disruptions and closures, quarantined workers and shortages of components,
with a direct impact on the availability of goods and services. These disruptions have impacted businesses generally. We cannot predict
when or whether economic conditions will stabilize. Unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in Brazil are expected to continue throughout
2022. Brazilian GDP increased by 4.6% in 2021 but is expected to increase by 1.5% in 2022 according to the Brazilian federal government.
Revenue Recognition and Seasonality
UniCesumar’s net revenue consists primarily
of tuition fees charged for UniCesumar’s undergraduate and graduate courses. Revenues from tuition fees are recognized over time
when services are rendered to the customer and UniCesumar satisfies its performance obligations under the contract at an amount that reflects
the consideration to which UniCesumar expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Revenues from tuition fees are recognized
net of scholarships and other discounts, refunds and taxes. Other revenues are recognized at a point in time when the service is rendered
to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which UniCesumar expects to be entitled in exchange for the service. Other
revenues are presented net of the corresponding discounts, refunds and taxes.
Most of UniCesumar’s net revenue is derived
from students who study in hubs managed by UniCesumar’s hub partners and the medicine course. UniCesumar enters into these partnerships
through contracts with hub partners who provide support centers with infrastructure for UniCesumar’s students. Each hub partner
is responsible for rental costs, property maintenance, local media and trade marketing as well as administrative services, cleaning,
local student service and infrastructure of the hubs. UniCesumar typically enters into contracts with UniCesumar’s hub partners
for an initial three-year term for new partners and a five-year term for old partners. The contracts are automatically renewable for
incremental six-month periods thereafter unless terminated in accordance with their terms.
UniCesumar’s hub partners are remunerated
by their respective share of the tuition and services fees collected by UniCesumar from its students. The total amount to be transferred
to the hub partners on a monthly basis is derived from the pricing terms agreed upon with each student in the service agreement. This
percentage is equal across all UniCesumar’s partnership agreements and varies in accordance with the type of course the student
is enrolled in.
UniCesumar’s digital education undergraduate
courses are structured in 10-week modules. This enables students to enroll in digital education courses twice during a semester. Despite
this flexibility, UniCesumar generally experiences a higher number of enrollments in digital education courses in the first and third
quarters of each year. These periods coincide with the beginning of academic semesters in Brazil. Furthermore, UniCesumar generally experiences
a higher number of enrollments at the beginning of the first semester of each year than at the beginning of the second semester of each
year. This is due to the high school calendar in Brazil in which classes end in December. In order to attract and encourage potential
new students to enroll in UniCesumar’s undergraduate courses later in the semester, UniCesumar often offers discounts, generally
equivalent to the number of months that have passed in the semester. As a result, UniCesumar generally records higher revenue in the second
and fourth quarters of each year. Revenue is also higher later in the semester due to lower dropout rates during that same period.
A significant portion of UniCesumar’s expenses
are also seasonal. Due to the nature of UniCesumar’s intake cycle, which happens throughout the year, it incurs significant selling
and marketing expenses to cover costs in connection with the first semester intake, which in Brazil is typically in December, January
and February.
As a result, UniCesumar expects quarterly fluctuations
in UniCesumar’s revenues and operating results to continue. These fluctuations could result in volatility and adversely affect UniCesumar’s
performance, liquidity and cash flows. As UniCesumar’s business grows, these seasonal fluctuations may become more pronounced. As
a result, UniCesumar believes that past quarterly comparisons of UniCesumar’s financial results may not provide an accurate assessment
of UniCesumar’s results of operations in the future.
Principal Components of UniCesumar’s Results of Operations
The following is a summary of the principal components
of UniCesumar’s results of operations.
Net Revenue
UniCesumar’s revenue consists primarily
of tuition fees charged for digital education undergraduate courses, on-campus undergraduate courses, and continuing education courses.
UniCesumar also generates revenue from student fees and certain education-related activities.
Revenue from tuition fees is recognized over time
when services are rendered to the customer and UniCesumar satisfies its performance obligation under the agreement at an amount that reflects
the consideration that UniCesumar expects to receive for those services. Revenues from tuition fees are recognized net of scholarships
and other discounts, refunds and taxes.
Other revenues are recognized at a point in time
when the service is rendered to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration that UniCesumar expects to receive for those
services. Other revenues are presented net of the corresponding discounts, returns and taxes.
Joint Operations with Hub Partners
A hub is a local operating unit owned by UniCesumar
or by third-party hub partners. Each hub partner is responsible for offering students access to audiovisual resources, a library and information
technology support to enable students to take part in UniCesumar’s digital education courses.
UniCesumar’s contractual agreements with
each hub partner set forth the terms and conditions of the hub as a joint operation. Such contractual agreements also establish the rights
of each hub partner to receive revenues from the operation of the hub and include provisions relating to expenses incurred in the operation
of the hub. Accordingly, the revenue from digital education courses and related accounts receivable are recognized only up to the portion
of the joint revenue to which UniCesumar is entitled. UniCesumar therefore records an obligation to pay hub partners under UniCesumar’s
trade payables when UniCesumar receives payments of monthly tuition fees from students.
Taxes Deducted from Gross Revenue
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net
of sales tax, except:
| · | when the sales taxes incurred on the purchase of goods or services are not recoverable from tax authorities, in which case the sales
tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquiring the asset or expense item, as applicable; and |
| · | when the amounts receivable or payable are stated with the amount of sales taxes included. |
The net amount of sales taxes, recoverable or
payable to the tax authority, is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position, and net of corresponding
revenue or cost/expense, in UniCesumar’s statement of profit or loss.
Sales revenues in Brazil are subject to taxes
and contributions, at the following statutory rates:
| · | The PIS and the COFINS are contributions levied by the Brazilian federal government on gross revenues. These amounts are invoiced
to and collected from UniCesumar’s customers. Given that UniCesumar is acting as a tax withholding agent on behalf of the tax authorities,
these amounts are recognized as deductions to gross revenue against tax liabilities. PIS and COFINS paid on certain purchases may be claimed
back as tax credits to offset the amounts of PIS and COFINS which are payable. These amounts are recognized as recoverable taxes and are
offset on a monthly basis against taxes payable and presented net, as the amounts are due to the same tax authority. |
| · | PIS and COFINS are contributions calculated on two different regimes pursuant to the applicable Brazilian tax legislation: cumulative
method and non-cumulative method. The regulations applicable to PROUNI provide that the revenue from traditional and technical undergraduate
courses are exempt from PIS and COFINS. For income from other teaching activities, PIS and COFINS are charged based on the cumulative
method at rates of 0.65% and 3.00%, respectively, and for non-teaching activities, PIS and COFINS are charged based on the non-cumulative
method at rates of 1.65% and 7.6%, respectively. |
| · | ISS is a tax levied by municipalities on revenues from the provision of services. ISS tax is added to amounts invoiced to UniCesumar’s
customers for the services UniCesumar renders. Given that UniCesumar is acting as an agent collecting these taxes on behalf of municipal
governments, these are recognized as deductions to gross revenue against tax liabilities. The applicable rate is 2.00%. As a result of
UniCesumar’s participation in the Municipal Scholarship Program (Programa Municipal de Bolsas de Estudo, or PROMUBE), it
benefited from tax exemptions until April 2021. PROMUBE was established in 2006, through Law No. 7,359, of December 20, 2006. Its purpose
is to provide full and partial scholarships in undergraduate courses and sequential courses (cursos sequenciais) in private educational
institutions located in Maringá to students who meet socio-economic criteria and that have lived in Maringá for at least
two years. It has been suspended since April 2021, pending an update to the legislation and regulations of the program. No assurance can
be given that UniCesumar will benefit from these tax exemptions going forward. |
| · | INSS is a social security charge levied on wages paid to employees. |
Cost of Services and Sales
Cost of services and sales consist primarily of
expenses related to providing classes and delivering UniCesumar’s content and technology to UniCesumar’s students, which are
mainly comprised of payroll, depreciation and amortization, print expenses, freight, leases, utilities, cleaning, security and maintenance
of UniCesumar’s hubs.
Expenses
UniCesumar classifies UniCesumar’s operating
expenses as selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, net impairment losses on financial assets and other income and expenses.
The largest component of UniCesumar’s operating expenses is employee- and labor-related expenses, which include salaries and bonuses
and employee benefit expenses.
Selling expenses. Selling expenses consist
primarily of expenses with personnel related to sales and marketing activities, marketing and sales expenses, as well as expenses with
commercial consultants and projects.
General and administrative expenses. General
and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses related to general and administrative activities, depreciation and amortization,
leases, consulting and advisory services, leases, contingencies and maintenance of UniCesumar’s corporate offices.
Net impairment losses on financial assets.
Net impairment losses on financial assets expenses consist of the provision for losses, effective losses and recovery on receivables.
The allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables are calculated on a monthly basis by analyzing the amounts invoiced in the
month, the monthly volume of receivables and the respective outstanding amounts by late payment range, calculating the recovery performance.
Other expenses. The other expenses are
contractual indemnities (such as insurance policies reimbursements), deductible donations and miscellaneous income and/or expense items.
Financial Income (Expenses)
UniCesumar’s financial income consists of
interest on tuition fees paid in arrears and the financial investments yield. The interest on tuition fees paid in arrears is recognized
based on the time elapsed, using the effective interest rate method. This financial income is calculated using the same effective interest
rate used to calculate the recoverable amount, that is, the original rate of trade receivables.
Financial expenses include interest expenses on
taxes payable in installments and other financial liabilities, including the interest accrued on accounts payable from the acquisition
of subsidiaries and on lease liabilities.
Income Tax
Tax Incentives
The postsecondary education companies UniCesumar
maintains are part of the PROUNI program. PROUNI provides, through Law No. 11,096, of January 13, 2005, exemption of certain federal taxes
imposed to postsecondary institutions that grant scholarships to low-income students enrolled in undergraduate courses and technology
graduate courses. The following federal taxes are included in the exemption: IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS.
For additional information on PROUNI, see “Item
4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulatory Overview—Financing Alternatives for Students: Incentive
Programs—University for All Program (PROUNI)” of our 2021 Annual Report.
Current Income Taxes
Income taxes in Brazil consist of IRPJ and CSLL.
According to Brazilian tax law, income taxes and social contribution are assessed and paid by each legal entity and not on a consolidated
basis. The income tax payable by each entity is calculated based on the entity’s income, adjusted based on certain additions and
exclusions provided for in the applicable legislation.
Current income taxes were calculated based on
the criteria established in a normative instruction issued by the Brazilian internal revenue service (Receita Federal do Brasil)
in relation to the PROUNI program. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date. UniCesumar periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulations are subject to interpretation, and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income tax and social contribution are
recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
UniCesumar applies the liability method. However, deferred taxes are not accounted for if they arise from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect accounting
nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit against which the temporary differences and/or tax losses may be utilized will be
available. Pursuant to Brazilian tax legislation, loss carry forwards can be used to offset up to 30.0% of taxable profit for the year
and do not expire.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences
arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for a deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference
is controlled by us and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented
net in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right and the intention to offset them upon the calculation
of current taxes. This generally occurs when the relevant assets and liabilities relate to the same legal entity and the same jurisdiction.
Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or in different jurisdictions are generally presented separately,
and not on a net basis.
Credit Losses on Trade Receivables
UniCesumar recognizes an allowance for expected
credit losses, or ECLs, for trade receivables applying a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. As a result, UniCesumar do not track
changes in credit risk, but rather recognize an allowance for doubtful accounts based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. UniCesumar
has established a provision matrix that is based on UniCesumar’s historical credit losses, adjusted for forward-looking factors
specific to the debtors and the economic environment. In certain cases, however, UniCesumar may also consider a financial asset to be
in default when internal or external information indicates that UniCesumar is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts
in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by us. The information about UniCesumar’s allowance for expected
credit losses is disclosed in note 3.(c) to UniCesumar’s audited financial statements.
Provision for Contingencies
UniCesumar is a party to proceedings at judicial
and administrative levels, as disclosed in note 20 to UniCesumar’s audited financial statements. The provision for legal proceedings
is set up for all proceedings assessed as probable losses. The likelihood of loss is assessed based on available evidence, the hierarchy
of laws, case law, most recent court decisions and their relevance within the legal system and the assessment made by the outside legal
counsel. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account changes in circumstances, such as statute of limitations, and additional
exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.
Lease Term of Contracts with Renewal Options
UniCesumar determines the lease term as the non-cancellable
term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or
any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
UniCesumar has the option, under some of UniCesumar’s
leases to lease the assets for additional terms. UniCesumar applies judgments in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise
the option to renew. That is, UniCesumar considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for us to exercise the renewal.
After the commencement date, UniCesumar reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within
UniCesumar’s control and affects UniCesumar’s ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew (for example, a
change in business strategy).
Incremental Lease Rate
The lease payments are discounted using the interest
rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the
rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment
and with similar terms and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, we:
| · | where possible, use recent third-party financing received as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions
since the third-party financing was received; |
| · | use a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by UniCesumar, which does
not have recent third-party financing; and |
| · | make adjustments specific to the rate, such as term, country, currency, and security. |

Net Revenue
Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021,
was R$741.5 million, an increase of R$131.5 million, or 21.6%, from R$610.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenue from digital education undergraduate courses due to an increase in the number
of students and on-campus undergraduate courses primarily as a result of the maturation of medical seats.
Cost of Services and Sales
Cost of services and sales for the year ended
December 31, 2021 was R$174.6 million, an increase of R$25.2 million, or 16.9%, from R$149.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in payroll expenses, increased use of laboratory materials, and increased of
expenses with teaching materials (due to the easement of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic).
Gross Profit
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for
the year ended December 31, 2021 was R$566.9 million, a decrease of R$106.2 million, or 23.1%, from R$460.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for the year ended December 31,
2021 amounted to R$65.9 million, an increase of R$18.3 million, or 38.4%, from R$47.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This
increase was primarily attributable to increased expenses with advertising on Facebook and Google, as well as with in-person events such
as sales conventions, teachers’ day parties, employee events and students welcome week events, among others.
Net Impairment Losses on Financial Assets
Net impairment losses on financial assets for
the year ended December 31, 2021 were R$40.1 million, an increase of R$19.8 million, or 97.0%, from R$20.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in UniCesumar’s provisions for net impairment losses
and an increase in write-offs of invoices related to the governmental student financing program (Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil).
As a result, the margin of net impairment losses on financial assets increased from 3.3% of net revenue in the year ended December 31,
2020 to 5.4% of net revenue in the year ended December 31, 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2021 were R$248.1 million, an increase of R$53.3 million, or 27.4%, from R$194.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to increased payroll expenses, third-party services, electricity consumption and travel
(due to the easement of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic) in 2021.
Other Operating Income, Net
UniCesumar recorded other operating income, net
of R$2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of R$0.7 million, or 22.0% compared to other operating expenses, net
of R$3.2 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This variation was primarily attributable to the loss on sale or disposal of property
and equipment in an amount of R$2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, offset by an increase in other revenues driven by the
resumption of on-campus teaching following a relaxation of the restrictive measures imposed to suppress the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.
Operating Profit Before Finance Result
As a result of the foregoing, UniCesumar recorded
operating profit before finance result of R$215.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of R$14.2 million, or 7.1%,
compared to operating profit before finance result of R$201.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Finance Income
Finance income for the year ended December 31,
2021 was R$16.5 million, an increase of R$6.8 million, or 71.0%, from R$9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in income from financial investments as well as an increase of interest and late payment penalties
related to monthly tuition fees.
Financial Expenses
Finance expenses for the year ended December 31,
2021 were R$13.3 million, an increase of R$1.1 million, or 8.9%, from R$12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in discounts granted, and an increase in credit and collection expenses for the year ended December
31, 2021.
Profit Before Income Tax and Social Contribution
As a result of the foregoing, UniCesumar recorded
profit before income tax and social contribution for the year ended December 31, 2021 of R$218.5 million, an increase of R$19.9 million,
or 10.0%, compared to profit before income tax and social contribution of R$198.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Income Tax and Social Contribution
Income tax and social contribution for the year
ended December 31, 2021 was an expense of R$14.0 million, an increase of R$6.2 million, or 79.6%, from an expense of R$7.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in taxable profit.
Profit for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, UniCesumar recorded
a profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 of R$204.5 million, an increase of R$13.8 million, or 7.2%, compared to a profit for the
year of R$190.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, UniCesumar had R$82.2 million
in cash and cash equivalents. UniCesumar believes that its current available cash and cash equivalents and the cash flows from its operating
activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for
the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021, UniCesumar did not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
UniCesumar’s consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with IFRS. In preparing its audited consolidated financial statements, UniCesumar makes assumptions, judgments
and estimates that can have a significant impact on amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements. UniCesumar base these assumptions,
judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that UniCesumar believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. UniCesumar regularly reevaluates
its assumptions, judgments and estimates. UniCesumar’s significant accounting policies are described in note 3 to UniCesumar’s
audited financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued
in 2022 applicable to UniCesumar. The recently issued and adopted amendments and interpretations did not have any impact on the amounts
recognized in prior periods, and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
UniCesumar’s activities expose it to a variety
of financial risks: market risk (including cash flow or fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. UniCesumar’s
risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse impacts on UniCesumar’s
financial performance. UniCesumar does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
Risk management is carried out by UniCesumar’s
central treasury department. UniCesumar’s treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The Board of Directors establishes
principles for risk management, as well as for other specific areas.
See note 4 to UniCesumar’s audited financial
statements for additional information.
Market Risk
UniCesumar’s interest rate risk arises from
short- and long-term borrowings and financial investments, substantially linked to the floating rates of the CDI rate.
UniCesumar analyzes its interest rate exposure
on a dynamic basis. Scenarios are analyzed taking into consideration refinancing and renewal of existing positions. Based on this analysis,
UniCesumar monitors the risk of significant variation in the interest rate and calculates the impact on profit or loss.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a centralized basis.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and deposits with banks and other financial institutions, as
well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.
UniCesumar’s sales policy considers the
credit risk level it is willing to accept in the course of its business. Enrollment for the next school period is blocked whenever a student
is in default with the institution. The broad diversification of the receivables portfolio, the selectivity in accepting students, as
well as the follow-up of maturities, are procedures adopted in order to minimize issues arising from default on accounts receivable.
UniCesumar maintains a provision for impairment
of trade receivables to address credit risk. This credit analysis evaluates the credit quality of students, taking into account the payment
history, the period of the relationship with the institution and a credit analysis (using the databases of institutions such as SPC Brasil
and Serasa Experian, two Brazil-focused credit reporting companies).
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of UniCesumar not having
sufficient liquid funds to meet its financial commitments, due to the mismatch of terms or volume in expected receipts and payments. To
manage liquidity of cash, assumptions for future disbursements and receipts are determined, and these are monitored daily by the treasury
area.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value
or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of
changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and accounts payable from acquisition of subsidiaries,
subject in each case to variable interest rates, principally the Brazilian interbank deposit CDI rate and IPCA inflation rate.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table demonstrates our sensitivity
to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on short-term investments, trade receivables, loans and financings and lease liabilities.
With all variables held constant, our profit before income taxes was affected by the impact on floating interest rate as follows as of
December 31, 2021:

Increase / Decrease in Interest Rate |

In the tables above, the probable scenario reflects
the closing rates of the fixed interest yield and inflation indices at year-end. The possible scenario projects a variation of 25% in
CDI and IPCA rates and the remote scenario projects a variation of 75% in these rates, including both increases and decreases in each
case, which are considered to be the largest hypothetical losses resulting from this risk factor.

Notes to the condensed interim
financial information at June 30, 2022
All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated
Cesumar
- Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda. (the "Entity") is a limited liability entity headquartered in the city
of Maringá, State of Paraná - Brazil.
In addition to its head office, the Entity has three other campuses
in the following cities of the State of Paraná: Curitiba, Ponta Grossa and Londrina and 1 (one) campus in the city of Corumbá-MS.
The Entity also has a presence all over Brazil through distance learning (EAD) units, with 1,032 units (2021 – 1,030) (unaudited).
The Entity is primarily engaged in the provision of educational, cultural,
scientific and social services, at several educational levels, through the offering of graduation, extension and specialization courses
for people in public and private enterprises.
The issue of these condensed interim financial information was authorized
by the Entity’s Executive Board on October 14, 2022.
Purpose of condensed interim financial information
These interim financial information have been prepared for inclusion
in VITRU Limited's Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation
SX under the Securities Act ("Rule 3-05").
On August 23, 2021, the Institution's quota holders entered into an
agreement for the purchase and sale of quotas with VITRU Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio S.A.
(Vitru) for the sale of 100% of the Entity's share capital to Vitru. On May 20, 2022, all precedent conditions, including approval by
a regulatory agency antitrust (CADE) and other regulatory approval, was concluded. After this date, the Entity is controlled by Vitru.
The condensed interim financial information have been prepared in accordance
with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), and disclose all (and only) the applicable significant information related to the interim financial information, which is consistent
with the information utilized by management in the performance of its duties.
The condensed interim financial information at June 30, 2022 do not
incorporate all the notes and disclosures required by accounting standards for annual financial statements, as their purpose is to provide
an update of significant activities, events, and circumstances in relation to those annual financial statements. Therefore, these condensed
interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, issued
on April 5, 2022.
The condensed interim financial information have been prepared consistently
with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements at December 31, 2021. The new standards, interpretations
or amendments that have been issued and or effective on January 1st 2022, did not have any impact on the Entity’s interim financial
information. The Entity has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Notes to the condensed interim
financial information at June 30, 2022
All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated
The Entity has been monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19),
which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Entity has been following the decisions of the WHO and the guidance
of the Ministry of Health and decisions of the State and Municipal governments, and, since March 2, 2020, has been adopting measures to
fight the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to safeguard the health and interests of all the parties involved in the activities of the institution
and preserve business continuity.
As regards onsite teaching, from March 20, 2020 the Entity’s
onsite undergraduate and graduate education activities were replaced by remote activities through the digital platform "Studeo",
to ensure the learning process of students, without affecting the completion of the activities of the semester. The 2021 school year began
on February 15 and classes returned in a hybrid form; a different group of students have onsite classes each week, and the other students
have classes via the digital platform.
The Entity’s distance learning activities were not impacted and
onsite tests were replaced by online tests. The new enrollment and re-enrollment processes continue as usual, with no initial impact on
the recognition of revenue of enrolled students.
As to the Entity’s administrative activities, it adopted measures
such as the change from onsite work to remote work from March 23, 2020, for positions that permit this type of system. As the restrictions
imposed by local governments were reduced, onsite classes have been returned with the necessary protective measures to contain the spread
of the virus.
Despite the circumstances imposed by Covid-19, the Entity reported
a revenue increase of 25% when compared to the same period of 2021, due to the increase in the number of students, mainly from EAD.
| 2 | Critical accounting estimates and judgments |
The critical accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation
of the condensed interim financial information are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements at December 31, 2021.
| 3 | Financial risk management |
| 3.1 | Financial risk factors |
The Entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:
market risk (including cash flow or fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Entity's risk management program
focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse impacts on the Entity's financial performance.
The Entity does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
Risk management is carried out by the Entity's Central treasury department.
The Entity's treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The Board of Directors establishes principles for risk management,
as well as for specific areas.

Notes to the condensed interim
financial information at June 30, 2022
All amounts in thousands of reais unless otherwise stated
| (a) | Market risk (including cash flow and fair value interest rate
risk) |
The Entity's interest rate risk arises from short and long-term borrowings
and financial investments, substantially linked to the floating rates of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI).
The Entity analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis.
Scenarios are analyzed taking into consideration refinancing and renewal of existing positions. Based on this analysis, the Entity monitors
the risk of significant variation in the interest rate and calculates the impact on profit or loss.
Credit risk is managed on a centralized basis. Credit risk arises from
cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and deposits with banks and other financial institutions, as well as credit exposures
to customers, including outstanding receivables.
The Entity's sales policy considers the credit risk level it is willing
to accept in the course of its business. Enrollment for the next school period is blocked whenever a student is in default with the institution.
The broad diversification of the receivables portfolio, the selectivity in accepting students, as well as the follow-up of maturities,
are procedures adopted in order to minimize issues arising from default on accounts receivable.
The Entity maintains a provision for impairment of trade receivables
to address credit risk. This credit analysis evaluates the credit quality of students taking into account the payment history, the period
of the relationship with the institution and the credit analysis (SPC and Serasa).
This is the risk of the Entity not having sufficient liquid funds to
meet its financial commitments, due to the mismatch of terms or volume in expected receipts and payments.
To manage liquidity of cash, assumptions for future disbursements and
receipts are determined, and these are monitored daily by the treasury area.
The Entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its
ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for quota holders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain
an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Entity manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light
of changes in economic conditions and to maintain and adjust the capital structure, the Entity may adjust the dividend payment to quota
holders.
At June 30, 2022, the Entity had a capital structure designed to enable
its growth strategy. Investment decisions take into consideration the expected return potential. No changes were made in the objectives,
policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended December 31, 2021.

offering to students the necessary structure in terms of audiovisual resources, library and information technology, to support the distance
learning courses. |
Advances
represent amounts advanced to hub partners so that they can generate initial cash, develop the first customer portfolio and invest in
media for the promotion of the unit. These amounts will be reimbursed by hub partners on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms
stipulated in the contract, through the provision of services.
In 2020, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,
management carried out an analysis of the recoverability of the amounts advanced to the Distance Learning Centers and the subsequent recording
of a provision for these recoverability of these credits. The analysis aimed to capture situations that could increase the risks of loss.
Thus, there has been an increase in the provision for hub partners that have significant debt.
To this end, the Entity analyzes, in each partner,
the relation between the balance of advances and the accumulated amount transferred. For partners with an index greater than 1.4, the
Entity recorded a provision of 25%. For all others, the provision percentage used was 2%.

Item 3
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Income Statement
of Vitru for the Six Months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
On August 23, 2021, Vitru Limited (the “Company”)
entered into a purchase agreement with the shareholders of CESUMAR - Centro de Ensino Superior de Maringá Ltda, or “Unicesumar”
through its subsidiary Vitru Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio e S.A. or “Vitru Brasil”,
to acquire the entire share capital of Unicesumar. The transaction was closed on May 20, 2022 (transaction date), when the control of
Unicesumar was transferred to the the Company after usual conditions precedent, including approval by a regulatory agency regarding antitrust
and other regulatory approvals.
Unicesumar is a leading and fast-growing higher
education institution in Brazil focused on the distance learning market, founded 30 years ago in Maringá - Paraná. Unicesumar
has 999 centers and approximately 331 thousand students, of which 314 thousand are in digital education. Unicesumar also has significant
on-site courses in the health area, mainly Medicine, with more than 1,600 students in the 348 courses.
Set forth below are the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments
are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information.
We expect to incur integration costs and synergies
from the consolidation of Unicesumar. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect any future
integration costs or synergies that may result from the consolidation of Unicesumar.
The Unicesumar acquisition by Vitru was accounted
as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 — Business Combinations, using the purchase method of accounting.
The pro forma information presented, including allocation of the purchase price, is based upon our preliminary estimates of the fair value
of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, available information as of this date, and management assumptions, and will be revised
upon final calculations during the one year measurement period as from the acquisition date. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ
from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material.
Additionally, the final determination of the fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Unicesumar acquisition will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible
assets and liabilities of Unicesumar that existed as of the closing date. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments presented
herein may not reflect any final purchase price adjustments. We estimated the fair value of Unicesumar’s assets and liabilities
based on discussions with Unicesumar’s management, due diligence, and preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists.
As the final valuations are being performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will
result in adjustments, which may result in material differences from the information presented herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the six months period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 is based on the historical
audited consolidated financial statements of Vitru and the historical audited financial statements of Unicesumar, and gives effect to
the Unicesumar acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2021.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments

The purchase price allocation at the
closing date has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma income statement. These are preliminary disclosure, the effects
on the financial statements are in the review process for the issue of the purchase price allocation report that is in progress and in
the measurement period, as described in IFRS 3. The final allocation may include (1) changes in the value of the consideration paid,
(2) changes in fair values of property, plant, and equipment, (3) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as customers
relationships, operation licenses for distance learning and additional medical seats as well as goodwill and (4) other changes to
assets and liabilities.
The pro forma adjustments are based
on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions; therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ
from the pro forma adjustments. We have only included material adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually
supportable, and, with respect to the statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. A general
description adjustment is provided as follows:
| (a) | Consideration paid was estimated based on the terms of the transaction
considering that the owners of Unicesumar will receive cash and Vitru’s shares as agreed in the terms of the acquisition. Consideration
will consist of R$ 2,719 million (including the contingent consideration) to be paid in cash plus 7,182 thousand Vitru’s
Shares issued on the Closing Date. The Vitru’s Shares issued on the closing date were quoted at a market price of US$ 16.00 per
share. |
Purchase consideration | |
| 3,279,333 | | |
| 100,00 | % |
Cash payable at the acquisition date | |
| 2,162,500 | | |
| 65,94 | % |
Payable after 12 months (i) | |
| 525,681 | | |
| 16,03 | % |
Contingent consideration | |
| 30,608 | | |
| 0,93 | % |
Payable through the issuance of new Vitru shares | |
| 560,544 | | |
| 17,09 | % |
(i)
Reflects the estimated adjustment to financial expenses resulting from the interest expense from the monetary indexation by the CDI rate
on the amounts payable in installments of the purchase consideration. The estimated adjustment to financial expenses amounted to R$ 87,9
million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
| (b) | The cash consideration paid on May 20, 2022, amounted R$ 2,162,500.
To have sufficient resources to pay the cash portion of the acquisition price, on May 19, 2022, the Company issued through its
subsidiary Vitru Brasil S.A., two series of debentures, the first series containing 500 bonds maturing between November 2023 and May 2024,
and the second series containing 1,450 bonds maturing between May 2025 and May 2027. The net proceeds from the issuance of the debentures
amounted R$ 1.906 thousand (R$ 1,950 thousand less R$ 44 thousand transaction costs). The Company used its own cash to pay the remaining
amount. |
The
interest rate of debentures is CDI+2.9% p.a. for the first series and CDI+3.20% p.a. for the second series. Thereby, the Company estimated
financial expense for such debentures obtained above in the amount of R$ 100,5 million for the period before the issued in 2022 and R$ 267,7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2021.
