Insights
Afya's Q4 and FY2024 results demonstrate exceptional financial execution across all key metrics. The company's 16.3% YoY revenue growth to R$849 million in Q4 and 14.9% YoY to R$3.3 billion for the full year reflects strong organic growth in its core medical education business. Most impressive is the significant margin expansion, with Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 350 basis points to 43.1% in Q4 and 360 basis points to 44.1% for the full year.
The company's strategic initiatives are clearly yielding results. The integration of UNIMA and FCM Jaboatão acquisitions, continued ramp-up of Mais Médicos campuses, and operational restructuring have driven both top-line growth and margin improvement. The 102.2% operating cash conversion ratio demonstrates exceptional cash generation efficiency, providing ample resources for both shareholder returns and growth investments.
The inaugural dividend announcement (20% of net income) marks a significant milestone in Afya's capital allocation strategy, signaling management's confidence in sustainable cash generation while maintaining capacity for continued expansion. With R$911 million in cash against net debt of R$1.8 billion (1.2x leverage ratio), Afya maintains a conservative financial position despite significant acquisition activity.
The FUNIC acquisition continues Afya's medical seat expansion strategy with an attractive 3.3x EV/EBITDA multiple at maturity, demonstrating disciplined capital deployment. Management's 2025 guidance (R$3.67-3.77 billion revenue, R$1.62-1.72 billion EBITDA) suggests continued strong growth momentum and further margin expansion, reinforcing the company's predictable business model and market leadership in Brazilian medical education.
Afya has solidified its position as Brazil's dominant medical education platform through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The expansion to 3,653 approved medical seats following the FUNIC acquisition represents significant market share in a highly regulated sector with substantial barriers to entry. What's particularly notable is how Afya has systematically expanded its footprint through multiple avenues: acquisitions (Unidom adding 300 seats), regulatory approvals (80 additional seats at UNIMA Alagoas, 40 at Guanambi), and reconsiderations (10 seats at Unigranrio).
The company's ecosystem approach of supporting the entire physician journey—from undergraduate studies through specialization and into practice—has created powerful network effects, now reaching 313,119 users. This integrated model drives consistent student intake while enabling above-inflation tuition adjustments, demonstrating Afya's pricing power and brand strength in the medical education market.
The 13% organic growth in medical course revenue indicates strong demand fundamentals despite Brazil's challenging economic environment. The newly calculated Social Return on Investment (SROI) metric—showing R$3.58 in social benefits for every R$1 invested—highlights the broader societal impact of Afya's expansion into underserved regions, potentially strengthening regulatory relationships and social license to operate.
The appointment of Dr. Gustavo Meirelles as Chief Medical Officer signals Afya's commitment to strengthening its clinical credibility and developing innovative medical education solutions. This positions Afya to enhance its competitive advantage in an increasingly technology-driven education landscape while maintaining its focus on quality medical training and healthcare outcomes.

8. Forward – Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including risks and uncertainties related to statements about our competition; our ability to attract, upsell and retain students; our capacity to increase tuition prices; our ability to anticipate and meet the evolving needs of students and teachers; our capacity to source and successfully integrate acquisitions; as well as general market, political, economic, and business conditions. Additionally, these statements include financial targets such as revenue, share count and IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures including gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss) per diluted share, and free cash flow. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them.
The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances occurring after its publication, nor to incorporate new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make.
Readers should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date they are made. Further information on these and other factors that could affect the Company’s financial results is included in filings made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from time to time, including the section titled “Risk Factors” in the most recent annual report on Form 20-F. These documents are available in the SEC Filings section of the investor relations section of our website at: https://ir.afya.com.br/.
9. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board—IASB, Afya presents Adjusted EBITDA, Operating Cash Conversion Ratio, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures, for the convenience of investors. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that intends to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be equally adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure.
Afya calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus/minus net financial result, plus income taxes expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus interest received on late payments of monthly tuition fees, plus share-based compensation, plus/minus income share associate, plus/minus non-recurring expenses/income. Operating Cash Conversion Ratio is calculated as the Cash flow from Operating Activities plus income taxes paid, minus/plus non-recurring expenses/income divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The calculation of Adjusted Net Income is the Net Income plus amortization of customer relationships and trademark, plus share-based compensation, plus/minus non-recurring expenses/income. The calculation of Adjusted EPS is the Adjusted Net Income minus the non-controlling interests divided by the Weighted average number of outstanding shares.
The non-GAAP supplemental financial measures are provided with the intend to help investors in assessing the overall performance of Afya’s business regarding its core operations, cash generation and profitability. The non-GAAP financial measures described in this release are not substitutes for the IFRS measures. In addition, the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Operating Cash Conversion Ratio, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are not standardized financial measures and may differ from the calculations used by other companies, including competitors in the education services industry, and therefore, Afya’s measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.
