Report on review of interim condensed consolidated financial information

To the Shareholders and Management of StoneCo Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated statement of financial position of StoneCo Ltd. (the “Company”) as at June 30, 2025 and the related interim consolidated statements of profit or loss and of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six-months periods then ended, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-months period then ended, and a material accounting policy information and other explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim consolidated financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statement does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at June 30, 2025, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the three and six-months periods then ended in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Emphasis of matter - Discontinued operations

We draw attention to Note 1.1.2 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which describes that, due to the change in accounting policy for investments in certain subsidiaries, were classified as non-current assets held for sale at their fair values in the balance sheet for the six-month period then ended June 30, 2025, and as discontinued operations in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss for the three and six-month periods then ended June 30, 2025. The corresponding interim consolidated statement of profit or loss, for the three and six-month period then ended June 30, 2024, presented for comparison purposes, have been adjusted and are being restated as required in the IFRS 5 - Non current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

1.1.1. Accounting policy

The Group classifies disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

The condition for classification as held for sale is met only when the sale has been approved by management or - if required by governance rules - the Board of Directors, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, and there is an expectation that the sale will occur within 12 months of the approval. These factors indicate that the sale is highly probable. In case of a delay in the process, demonstrably caused by events or circumstances beyond the Group’s control, and if there is still sufficient evidence of the continued commitment to sell the asset, the classification as held for sale may be maintained.

Assets included in disposal groups classified as held for sale as well as its related liabilities are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position. Property and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.

When a transaction reflects the sale of a component of the company that represents an important separate line of business, it should be considered a discontinued operation, and its results are excluded from the results of continuing operations, presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss. Cash flows from discontinued operations are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows and are disclosed separately in Note 1.1.2 in an aggregated basis between operating, investing and financing activities.

The classification of an operation as a discontinued operation requires that comparative income statements be restated. This procedure segregates the results of the discontinued operation as if it had been discontinued from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.

1.1.2. Software business and Simplesvet

In the second quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors approved the plan to sell Software Businesses and Simplesvet. Both sales are expected to be completed within a year from the reporting date so were classified as a disposal group held for sale. These businesses together represent a major part of our Software operating segment and as a result met the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations. The Software segment continues to be one of the segments disclosed in the financial statements comprised of other businesses that do not meet the criteria for either assets held for sale or discontinued operations.

Immediately before the classification of the businesses as discontinued operations, the recoverable amount was estimated for assets included in the disposal group and no impairment loss was identified. The fair value less costs to sell the assets included in disposal group exceeds their carrying amount.

Estimating the fair value implies assumptions and estimates that require judgment. In estimating such fair value we have considered the terms of the agreements we entered into after June 30, 2025 (Note 22) as well as estimates about expected timing of the disposals which impact the estimated proceeds of the sale and as well as its discount to present value as of the date of the impairment test. While actual date of the disposal may differ from this estimate of fair value we expect any difference will not result in significant effect in the impairment test performed. The carrying amount of the businesses classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025 is R$ 3,596,015.

2.    Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies and estimates

2.1.    Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais (“R$”), and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (R$ 000), except when otherwise indicated.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

F-14

logo-cora.jpg
Notes to Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
June 30, 2025
(In thousands of Brazilian Reais)

The accounting policies adopted in this interim reporting period are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approved by the Audit Committee on August 4, 2025.

2.2.    Estimates

The preparation of the Group’s interim financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and to adopt assumptions that affect the amounts presented of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the financial statement date. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are frequently revised, and any effects are recognized in the revision period and in any future affected periods. The objective of these revisions is mitigating the risk of material differences between the estimated and actual results in the future.

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

2.3. New standards and amendments to standards and interpretations adopted

•Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability: The amendments introduce requirements to assess when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it is not. The amendments require the entity to estimate the spot exchange rate when it concludes that a currency is not exchangeable into another currency.

The application of these accounting standards as of January 1, 2025, had no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

2.4. Provisional Measure ("MP") No. 1.303/2025

Provisional Measure ("MP") No. 1.303/2025 Provisional Measure N° 1,303/2025 introduces changes to Brazilian tax legislation, including increases in the tax rates of Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) - a tax computed over taxable income- applicable to certain companies, as well as changes to the withholding tax regime on investments in the financial and capital markets, among other provisions.

The rule is subject to approval by the Brazilian National Congress before it becomes effective. If enacted into law, the CSLL changes would become effective as of November 1, 2025, while the other tax changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

We consider that approval by the Brazilian National Congress is required for the changes in CSSL rates to be considered substantially enacted and being recognized in our financial statements. Accordingly no impact was recognized in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

If the changes in the CSSL rate are approved the combined Brazilian statutory income tax rates for the companies impacted would increase from 34% to 40% and 40% to 45%. Key subsidiaries affected by the increased rates would be Stone Instituição de Pagamento S.A. (“Stone IP”), Stone Sociedade de Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento S.A. (“Stone SCFI”) e Stone Sociedade de Crédito Direito S.A. (“Stone SCD”).

(a)Accounts receivable from card issuers, net of interchange fees, as a result of processing transactions with clients.

(b)Accounts receivable from other acquirers related to PSP (Payment Service Provider) transactions.

Part of the Group’s cash requirement is to make prepayments to acquiring customers. The Group finances those requirements through different sources of funding including the true sale of receivables to third parties. When such sales of receivables are carried out to entities in which the Group has subordinated shares or quotas, the receivables sold remain in the statement of financial position, as these entities are consolidated in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2025 a total of R$ 446,417 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 419,099) were consolidated through Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios ACR Fast (“FIDC ACR FAST”) and R$ 2,650,743 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 2,561,139) through Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios ACR I (“FIDC ACR I”), of which the Group has subordinated shares. When the sale of receivables is carried out to non-controlled entities and for transactions where continuous involvement is not present, the amounts transferred are derecognized from the accounts receivable from card issuers. As of June 30, 2025, the sale of receivables that were derecognized from accounts receivables from card issuers in the statement of financial position represents a relevant funding source used for the prepayment.

Accounts receivable held by FIDCs guarantee the obligations to FIDC quota holders.

5.2.2.    Accounts payable to clients

Accounts payable to clients represent amounts due to accredited clients related to credit and debit card transactions, net of interchange fees retained by card issuers and assessment fees paid to payment scheme networks as well as the Group’s net merchant discount rate fees which are collected by the Group as an agent.

5.3.    Trade accounts receivable

5.3.1.    Composition of trade accounts receivable

(a)The Group holds a portfolio of fixed-rate credit operations exposed to market risk from fluctuations in the Brazilian interest rates. To mitigate this risk, fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps were entered into to protect the fair value of the portfolio against rates variations. These swaps are designated as fair value hedge accounting and, as a result, the interest rate risk of the credit operations is marked to market against profit or loss. The portfolio is dynamically managed, with swap positions adjusted to reflect changes, including prepayment risk.

5.4.3.    Gross carrying amount

The Group calculates an expected credit loss allowance for its loans based on statistical models that consider both internal and external historical data, negative credit information and guarantees, including information that addresses the behavior of each debtor. The Group calculates its loans operations portfolio in three stages:

(i)Stage 1: corresponds to loans that do not present significant increase in credit risk since origination, and expected credit loss (“ECL") are determined considering probability of default events within 12 months window;

(ii)Stage 2: corresponds to loans that presented significant increase in credit risk subsequent to origination and ECL are estimated considering probability of default events within the life of the financial instrument;

The Group determines Stage 2 based on the following criteria:

(a)absolute criteria: financial asset overdue more than 30 days, or;

(b)relative criteria: in addition to the absolute criteria, the Group analyzes the evolution of the risk of each financial instrument on a monthly basis, comparing the current behavior score attributed to each client with that attributed at the time of recognition of the financial asset. Behavioral scoring considers credit behavior variables, such as default on other products and market data about the customer. When the credit risk increases significantly since origination, the Stage 1 operation is moved to Stage 2.

For Stage 2, a cure criterion is applied when the financial asset no longer meets the criteria for a significant increase in credit risk, as mentioned above, and the loan is moved to Stage 1.

(iii)Stage 3: corresponds to impaired loans.

The Group determines Stage 3 based on the following criteria:

(a)absolute criteria: financial asset overdue more than 90 days, or;

(b)relative criteria: indicators that the financial asset will not be paid in full without activating a guarantee or financial guarantee.

The indication that an obligation will not be paid in full includes the tolerance of financial instruments that imply the granting of advantages to the counterparty following the deterioration of the counterparty's credit quality.

The Group also assumes a cure criterion for Stage 3, with respect to the counterparty's repayment capacity, such as the percentage of total debt paid or the time limit to liquidate current debt obligations.

Management regularly seeks forward-looking perspectives for future market developments including macroeconomic scenarios as well as its portfolio risk profile. Management may adjust the ECL resulting from the models above in order to better reflect these forward-looking perspectives.

(a)On June 19, 2024 the subsidiary Stone SCFI concluded its first issuance of financial bills. After this, Stone SCFI has started the issuance of private financial bills. The principal and interest of all issuances are mainly paid at the maturity indexed to CDI rate.

(b)In the second quarter of 2024, Stone SCFI started the issuance of Time deposits, representing the first issuance of interest bearing deposits following the authorization granted by BACEN to start operations earlier in 2024. The certificates are held by multiple counterparties and maturities up to December 2028. The principal and interest of this type of issuance are mainly paid at the maturity indexed to CDI rate.

(c)This note covers all closed-end FIDCs, including ACR I and TAPSO. FIDC ACR I issued quotas in exchange for a contribution of R$ 2,325,984 as of the first quarter of 2024. The contribution was made by a special purpose vehicle funded by a revolving facility in which United States International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”) has invested US$ 467.5 million, funding the Group’s prepayment business through this FIDC. The special purpose vehicle entered into foreign currency derivatives with financial institutions to convert the receivable denominated in R$ it holds from FIDC ACR I into US$. The Company has to provide guarantees to the vehicles in the event of certain defined default events on the derivatives by such financial institutions. Considering the current risk rating of the institutions, the fair value of the guarantee is estimated to be immaterial. FIDC ACR I has a final maturity of seven years and pays a semi-annual coupon at a fixed rate of 12.75% in R$.

5.7.1. Economic hedge

The Group engages in certain hedging transactions to mitigate specific financial risks, such as fluctuations in foreign currencies and interest rates. Some of these transactions are not formally designated for hedge accounting.

Although these derivatives are used to manage economic risks, changes in their fair value are recognized directly in profit or loss for the period without the application of the specific accounting treatments of hedge accounting. This means that the gains and losses generated by these instruments are fully accounted for in profit or loss as they occur, reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives.

The decision not to apply hedge accounting to these transactions may be due to considerations such as the administrative cost of the formal documentation required by hedge accounting standards, the nature of the instruments, or the desired operational flexibility. Nevertheless, the Group continues monitoring these instruments to ensure their use aligns with the overall risk management strategy.

5.7.2. Hedge accounting

5.7.2.1. Cash flow hedge

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to foreign exchange and interest rate risks.

The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting when the hedging relationship meets the requirements outlined in the applicable accounting standards, including the provision of appropriate documentation at inception and the expectation that the hedge will be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk throughout the life of the hedge.

The Group continuously assesses whether the hedging relationship continues to meet the effectiveness requirements.

Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognized in other comprehensive income (and deferred in equity), to the extent the hedge is effective. Any ineffectiveness in a hedge is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Amounts deferred in equity are reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss (e.g., through the accrual of interest or the remeasurement of the hedged item at spot rate on the reporting date).

5.7.2.2. Fair value hedge

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting to protect against changes in the fair value of assets or liabilities arising from exposure to specific risks, such as changes in foreign exchange rates or interest rates. In accordance with IFRS, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the designated hedged risk are recognized directly in profit or loss for the period. This allows gains or losses on the hedging instrument to offset, in whole or in part, the losses or gains on the hedged item.

For a fair value hedge to be accounted as a hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet specific criteria, such as formal documentation of the hedging objective and evidence that the hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged item's fair value over time.

The Company conducts regular effectiveness tests to ensure the hedging relationship remains effective. Any hedge ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in profit or loss for the period.

(c)For accounts receivable from card issuers measured at FVOCI, fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using market rates for similar items.

(d)The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Derivative financial instruments are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of observable market inputs.

(e)For Other debt instruments, fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using contract rates for funding items and using market value of senior quotas liabilities.

(f)These are contingent considerations included in Other liabilities arising on business combinations that are measured at FVPL. Fair values are estimated in accordance with pre-determined formulas explicit in the contracts with selling shareholders. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration categorized as Level III of the fair value hierarchy are based on projections of revenue, net debt, number of clients, net margin and the discount rates used to evaluate the liability.

(g)The Group issued put options for Reclame Aqui’s non-controlling interests, in the 2022 business combination. For the non-controlling shareholder amounts the Group has elected as an accounting policy that the put options derecognized the non-controlling interests at each reporting date as if it was acquired at that date and recognize a financial liability at the present value of the amount payable on exercise of the non-controlling interests put option. The difference between the financial liability and the non-controlling interests derecognized at each period is recognized as an equity transaction. The amount of R$ 160,604 was recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2025 as a financial liability under Other liabilities (December 31, 2024 - R$ 178,721).

In the six month period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between level I and level II and between level II and level III fair value measurements.

12.1.1.    Civil lawsuits

In general, provisions and contingencies arise from claims related to lawsuits of a similar nature, with individual amounts that are not considered significant. The nature of the civil litigations is categorized according to the primary business of the Group. Substantial provisions are summarized in two business domains, namely (i) acquiring, totaling R$ 26,170 as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024- R$ 24,486) and (ii) banking, totaling R$ 15,737 as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 16,027).

12.1.2.    Labor claims

In the context of Labor Courts, the Group encounters recurrent lawsuits, primarily falling in two categories: (i) labor claims by former employees and (ii) labor claims brought forth by former employees of outsourced companies contracted by the Group. These claims commonly center around issues such as the claimant’s placement in a different trade union and payment of overtime. The initial value of these lawsuits is asserted by the former employees at the commencement of the legal proceeding.

12.2.    Possible losses, not provided for in the statement of financial position

12.2.1.    Civil lawsuits

The Group is a party to several legal actions whose subjects are connected to its ordinary operations. In this regard, civil lawsuits have been categorized according to the Group’s primary business fronts, mainly: (i) software, amounting to R$ 30,093 as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 29,076); and (ii) acquiring, amounting to R$ 10,353 as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 22,099).

For the software product line, there is significant indemnity lawsuit filed by an indirect supplier, for the utilization of a specific software provided by the partner, amounting to R$ 27,732 as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 26,835).

The Group is also involved in a securities class action related to its former credit product. The parties involved have begun in the quarter to be actively engaged in discussions to reach a mutually agreeable solution. However, due to inherent uncertainties regarding the progression of these discussions and a potential agreement, the Group cannot yet reasonably quantify or estimate the potential damages.

12.2.2.    Labor claims

The Group frequently receives lawsuits through the labor courts, primarily for two categories: (i) labor claims by former employees and (ii) labor claims by former employees of outsourced companies contracted by the Group (as a secondary obligor). These claims typically revolve around matters such as the claimant’s placement in a different trade union and payment of overtime. An initial value of these lawsuits is claimed by the former employees at the beginning of the proceeding. The actual amounts of possible contingencies when disbursed correspond to a fraction of the amount initially requested by the claimants – this lower fraction is calculated based on the Group’s track record of losses, considering similar cases. As the lawsuits progress, the reported risk amount may change, particularly following new court decisions.

12.2.3 Tax litigations

Between 2022 and 2025, the Group received tax assessments issued by a municipal tax authority relating to the allegedly insufficient payment of tax on services rendered. Considering a new tax assessment issued in 2025, as of June 30, 2025, the updated amount is R$ 249,816 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 41,579). The cases are classified as possible loss.

12.3.    Judicial deposits

For certain contingencies, the Group has made judicial escrow deposits, which are legal reserves the Group is required to make by the Brazilian courts as security for any damages or settlements the Group may be required to pay as a result of litigation.

The amount of the judicial deposits as of June 30, 2025 is R$ 13,639 (December 31, 2024 - R$ 13,317), which are included in Other assets in non-current assets.

13.    Equity

13.1    Issued capital

On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s issued capital totaled R$ 76 thousand. The Company has an authorized share capital of US Dollar 50 thousand, corresponding to 630,000,000 authorized shares with a par value of US Dollar 0.000079365 each. The Company is authorized to increase capital up to this limit, subject to approval of the Board of Directors. The liability of each member is limited to the amount from time to time unpaid on such member’s shares.

13.2.    Subscribed and paid-in capital and capital reserve

The Articles of Association provide that at any time when there are Class A common shares issued, Class B common shares may only be issued pursuant to: (a) a share split, subdivision or similar transaction or as contemplated in the Articles of Association; or (b) a business combination involving the issuance of Class B common shares as full or partial consideration. A business combination, as defined in the Articles of Association, would include, amongst other things, a statutory amalgamation, merger, consolidation, arrangement or other reorganization.

The additional paid-in capital refers to the difference between the purchase price that the shareholders pay for the shares and their par value. Under Cayman Islands Law, the balance in this type of account may be applied by the Company to pay distributions or dividends to members, pay up unissued shares to be issued as fully paid, for redemptions and repurchases of own shares, for writing off preliminary expenses, recognized expenses, commissions or for other reasons. All distributions are subject to the Cayman Islands Solvency Test which addresses the Company’s ability to pay debts as they fall due in the natural course of business.

There were no changes in the number of shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Number of shares
Class A Class B Total
As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 297,322,430 16,925,090 314,247,520

13.3.    Treasury shares

Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in equity.

During six months ended June 30, 2025 repurchases of outstanding Class A common shares were executed upon the programs approved by the Board detailed below:

Date of program approved by the Board of Directors Maximum amount of repurchase approved Amounts actually repurchased under the program Status of the program as of June 30, 2025

14.    Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period attributed to the controlling shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share considers the number of shares outstanding for the purposes of basic earnings plus (when dilutive) the number of potentially issuable shares.

All numbers of shares for the purpose of earnings per share are the weighted average during each period presented.

15.    Revenue and income

15.1.    Timing of revenue recognition

Net revenue from transaction activities and other services and discount fees charged for the prepayment of accounts payable to clients are recognized at a point in time, except for membership fees which are recognized over time. All other revenue and income are recognized over time.

The Group has recognized revenue to membership fees in the amount of R$ 123,131 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 (six months ended June 30, 2024 - R$ 35,466).

Net revenue from transaction activities and other services includes membership fee mentioned above and R$ 28,578 of registry business fee in the six months ended June 30, 2025 (R$ 24,183 in six months ended June 30, 2024).

15.2. Seasonality of operations

The Group’s revenues are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, revenues have been strongest during the last quarter of the year as a result of higher sales during the Brazilian holiday season. This is due to the increase in the number and amount of electronic payment transactions related to seasonal retail events. Adverse events that occur during these months could have a disproportionate effect on the results of operations for the entire fiscal year. As a result of seasonal fluctuations caused by these and other factors, results for an interim period may not be indicative of those expected for the full fiscal year.
