NET OPERATING REVENUE

CATEGORY

The Brazilian footwear retail sector showed signs of recovery in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the strengthening of the domestic market and increased consumer spending fueled by factors such as declining unemployment levels and rising household income.

However, in the foreign market, sales remained under pressure due to significant challenges, particularly in Peru and Argentina, where adverse economic conditions continue to pose specific obstacles in each country.

For the 19th consecutive quarter, the Company overcame challenges and achieved substantial growth in net revenue, which totaled R$ 701.2 million, an increase of 17.4% compared to the R$ 597.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

The Athletic Footwear category posted an 18.5% increase in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. This performance was mainly driven by the expansion of the domestic market, while revenue from foreign markets declined. All three of the

brands recorded positive performance, with a particular highlight on the running category of Olympikus, boosted by the success of the Corre line.

The Others Footwear and Others category grew by 26.4% versus 1Q24, reflecting higher sales of flip-flops and boots designed for professional use.

The Apparel and Accessories category recorded 3.0% growth compared to 1Q24, primarily driven by improved retail performance in the domestic market.

COST OF GOODS SOLD (GOGS)





Throughout the first quarter of 2025, as previously anticipated, the Company faced significant pressure on its cost structure. Operational labor costs were impacted by the increase in labor-related charges reflecting the gradual reimplementation of payroll taxation along with the adjustment of the minimum wage, which included a substantial real gain, and absenteeism, which, although lower than in the previous quarter, remained above historical levels.



With regard to inputs used in production such as raw materials and packaging materials, the Company also faced rising costs. This pressure resulted from similar challenges observed in the

production chains, exacerbated by the effects of exchange rate volatility.

Despite this challenging environment, the Company managed to keep its cost of goods sold proportionally stable compared to the same period of the previous year, demonstrating the effectiveness of its control measures, industrial productivity gains, and disciplined cost management efforts implemented throughout the quarter.

APRESENTAÇÃO DE RESULTADOS 1T25



In 1Q25, COGS accounted for 59.8% of net sales revenue, the same percentage recorded in 1Q24. This performance reinforced the resilience and efficiency in cost

management, even in the face of a challenging environment. The Company remained focused on initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency and generating economies of scale, with the goal of mitigating external pressures and preserving profitability, even amid adverse macroeconomic conditions.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN

The increase in production and sales volume, combined with higher average prices, offset gross margin impacts despite significant pressure on the cost of goods sold.

The

manufacturing plants resumed full operations following the collective vacation period, and gradually, efficiency indicators reached planned levels. Targeted production volumes were achieved, and the cost of manufactured goods remained within expectations.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company reported gross profit of R$ 281.9 million, representing a 17.5% increase compared to the R$ 239.9 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. The consolidated gross margin remained stable at 40.2%, in line with the result reported in 1Q24.



It is important to highlight that, if not for the reinstatement of payroll taxes, the gross margin would have been 0.4 percentage point higher than reported. This clearly demonstrates the direct impact of the fiscal policy change on the cost structure.

This performance not only demonstrated the

resilience in a challenging macroeconomic environment, but also reinforced its commitment to innovation, excellence in product delivery, and agility in adapting to new scenarios.

During 1Q25, the Company maintained a trend already observed in previous quarters: the increasing share of e-commerce, especially through marketplaces, in the sales mix resulted in higher volumes of variable expenses such as commissions and shipping costs.

Additionally, throughout 2024, the Company opened five outlet stores, which required expanding the workforce and led to higher operational expenses for these new units.

Despite the increase in EBITDA in absolute terms, the EBITDA margin showed a slight decline when comparing 1Q24 to 1Q25, moving from 20.5% to 20.0%. This reduction was mainly due to higher commercial expenses, particularly because of the faster growth of the e-commerce channel, which carries higher operational costs.

SUSTAINABILITY

CULTURE AS A PILLAR OF SOCIAL SUSTENTABILITY

At Vulcabras, we believe that sport and art together have the power to broaden horizons, build bridges between different realities, and drive lasting transformation. Sport teaches resilience, perseverance, and teamwork; culture strengthens identities, stimulates critical thinking, and fosters inclusion. When combined, these forces shape stronger, more creative, and more conscious citizens and communities.





At the beginning of 2025, we continued to pursue this vision by supporting cultural initiatives that brought together art, memory, innovation, and regional identity reinforcing our purpose of using sport as a

platform for education, culture, and social impact. Across different regions of Brazil, our sponsorship of cultural and social projects reaffirms

commitment to building a more just, diverse, and sustainable country.

"When we bring together sport and culture, we create an environment of learning, creativity, and transformation that impacts communities and builds a collective legacy."





ART, RESILIENCE, AND

COLLECTIVE RECONSTRUCTION





This quarter, Vulcabras organized the exhibition e in Porto Alegre, as part of the

Portas para a project at the 14th Mercosur Biennial. The exhibit invited the public to reflect on resilience, reconstruction, and the power of art as a catalyst for social transformation.
