Padtec achieves its results by connecting the world with intelligence and innovation. By solving challenges with purpose, creativity, and operational excellence, it contributes to the development of society and the economy, developing new futures in an increasingly globalized and sustainable world.

The results achieved in the first half of 2025 are consistent and have been growing over the months. Gross operating revenues in 2Q25 rose 7.7% compared to 2Q24, gross margin (an important indicator of profitability) reached 35.5%, and EBITDA totaled R$6.0 million in the quarter, reaching R$ 32.2 million in LTM 2Q25 (83.7% above that recorded in 2024). Data traffic indicators continue to show consistent growth, with promising prospects for further expansion. The data center market is booming, with growing demand for robust connectivity solutions. Market data on access to video streaming services, online games, and artificial intelligence tools indicate that there is still room for growth. Even so, 2025 has been a year of many challenges.

The current macroeconomic and geopolitical issues are challenging. Although this new scenario brings uncertainty for many competitors and other players in the telecommunications ecosystem, the impact on the Company's supply chain has been neutral. The geopolitical scenario also directly affects the choice of suppliers for international projects, but Padtec has the flexibility and neutrality to respond to this environment, delivering products and services according to the needs of each customer.

In July, the Company announced a restructuring of its executive board, affecting administrative, commercial, and operational areas, which resulted in the dismissal of almost 100 employees (approximately 17% of the workforce at the end of March 2025). The objective is to adapt the structure to the market reality and boost cash generation for the company. To this end, Carlos Raimar Schoeninger, CEO of Padtec, moved from Investor Relations to Chief Financial Officer and took over Global Sales. The former Commercial Department was renamed Domestic Sales, and an International Sales Department was created. The Legal Department is now under the responsibility of the Finance Department. Finally, the Platforms and Solutions Department has

been renamed the Product Department and is now responsible for the company's portfolio management and strategy, including research and development.

Padtec's restructuring is part of its strategy to resume growth and ensure the long-term sustainability of its business. The Company remains committed to diversifying its revenue sources, which include Equipment (DWDM, switches, plugables), Services, Software and Platforms, submarine and river cables, both in Brazil and in international markets. Padtec offers its customers strategic partnerships in key areas such as 5G networks, solutions for submarine/sub-river networks, for the data center market (whose rapid growth is driven by the increasing adoption of AI) and IP networks (routers and switches). The software tools offered by Padtec enable the integration of cyber security resources developed by partners into its network solutions.

In addition to organic growth initiatives, Padtec is attentive to inorganic expansion opportunities that could add new skills and technologies. And to support sales growth in the various markets where it operates, it develops new financing models for use by its customers.

Operating Revenue

Padtec's gross operating revenue (excluding returns and cancellations) in 2Q25 was R$ 88.5 million, an increase of 7.7% over 2Q24. Comparing LTM 2Q25, R$ 386 million, with 2024, R$ 364.2 million, the increase was 5.9%.

Net revenue for the quarter totaled R$ 73 million, 6.6% more than in 2Q24, reaching R$ 317.2 million in LTM 2Q25, a 6.2% increase compared to 2024.

In March, Padtec S.A. contracted a credit line with BNDES under the FUST-Commercialization Financing Program, which will be used to finance the commercialization of machinery and equipment, in the amount of up to R$ 30 million. The funds will be released by the BNDES upon proof of the project/sale of machinery and equipment (without immediate availability of the total amount of this financing).

Cash and cash equivalents in June totaled R$ 54.3 million (R$ 158.1 million at the end of 2024) and financial investments as collateral totaled R$ 57.7 million (R$ 32.6 million in December 2024), totaling R$ 112 million. The amounts allocated to financial investments as collateral secure debts taken on with BNDES and FINEP.

In 2Q25, net debt totaled R$ 179.2 million, with a net debt/LTM EBITDA1 ratio of 5.56 and a net debt/equity ratio of 1.52.

The Company's capital structure enables it to accelerate the expansion of its portfolio of products and solutions, more efficiently meeting the demands of different sectors of the economy, expanding its geographic presence, and enabling financing lines for its customers.

Co-obligations

To facilitate the acquisition of its products and implementation services by customers who do not have direct access to financing lines available in the market, Padtec carries out financial operations based on the principle of credit assignment and discounts on receivables. Among these lines, FINEP Aquisição Inovadora Telecom stands out, which allows customers to take advantage of very favorable conditions for the acquisition of Padtec equipment.

‌1 LTM EBITDA corresponds to the sum of EBITDA recorded in the last twelve months.

Since 2017, around 70 customers have obtained credit using these transactions. To mitigate the credit risk of its counterparties, the Company closely monitors each of these customers through adequate financial risk management and by maintaining a default rate close to zero.

In 2Q25, Padtec had operations of this nature on its balance sheet in the amount of R$ 67.3 million, given as collateral for financing taken out by some of its customers. Of this amount, 51% is long-term obligations and 49% is short-term. The counterpart of these entries is recorded in current assets and non-current assets.

FIDC Funttel Padtec

In addition to the instruments mentioned above, Padtec also has a credit rights investment fund in partnership with BNDES Participações S.A. - BNDESPAR (BNDESPAR). The operations of FIDC Funttel Padtec, which began in 2Q22, have BNDESPAR as the senior shareholder (with an 80% stake) and the subsidiary Padtec

S.A. as the subordinate shareholder (20%). The fund's objective is to stimulate technological innovation, encourage human resources, foster job creation, and promote access to capital resources for small and medium-sized companies by granting credit to Padtec's customers, with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of the Brazilian telecommunications industry.

By the end of June 2025, FIDC Funttel shareholders had made R$ 75 million available. Loans totaling R$ 83.1 million were granted to 38 Padtec customers, of which approximately 81% remain outstanding.

FIDC Funttel Padtec is consolidated in the Company under the rules of Technical Pronouncement CPC 36 (R3) Consolidated Financial Statements, correlated with International Accounting Standards - IFRS 10 (IASB

- BV 2012). However, for this Results Release, the amounts of the Funttel Padtec FIDC are not considered for the calculations and analyses presented in the section "Indebtedness, cash and capital structure."

Investments

Padtec and its employees are constantly committed to developing products and services to best serve customers, according to the needs presented by the telecommunications and technology segments. The Company offers high-quality products, services, and solutions that add value to the businesses in this value chain. The products and services offered by Padtec, developed internally or in partnership with other companies, stand out for their high technological content, great flexibility, and high standards of robustness, quality, and reliability.
