- Net Revenue of BRL 5.7 billion down 1.7% YoY in Brazilian Reais and up +5.5% in constant currency (CC) (+2.0% ex-Argentina) driven by a double-digit performance from Natura Brazil (+10.3%) along with revenue growth of the Natura brand in Hispanic markets (+17.8% or low single digit ex-ARS), offset by still weak Avon brand performance in Brazil (-12.9%) and the anticipated volatility of Avon and Home & Style in Hispanic markets related to the Wave 2 integration in Mexico and preparations in Argentina. Natura showed solid performance in Brazil, but a notable deceleration in the macro and in the Beauty market was felt in June. Given the above-market rate growth from Natura Brazil already posted in H1-25, market share gains are foreseen for the FY.

Consolidated Recurring EBITDA of BRL 796 million, with a 14.0% margin, up 80 basis points (bps) YoY and mainly explained by:
-
Natura &Co Latam: recurring EBITDA margin of 14.7%, up 10 bps on a YoY basis, mainly driven by an
+80bps YoY gross margin improvement - supported by contributions from more mature Wave 2 markets -but almost entirely offset by G&A deleverage from Hispanic markets and higher investments in innovation
and systems When compared to Q1-251, margin went down 100bps amid the Wave 2 roll-out
- Holding: corporate expenses at BRL 44 million, a 47% YoY reduction, mainly driven by the final steps in streamlining the Holding company structure ahead of the merger with Natura Cosméticos, concluded on July 1st. In addition, this quarter was also impacted by BRL -11 million phasing of expenses, which benefited Q1-25 corporate expenses
-
Natura &Co Latam: recurring EBITDA margin of 14.7%, up 10 bps on a YoY basis, mainly driven by an
- Q2-25 Net income of BRL +195 million, compared to a net loss of BRL -859 million in Q2-24, when it was impacted by a BRL -725 million one-off non-cash event write-off. In the quarter, discontinued operations totaled BRL - 250 million, implying a net income from continued operations of BRL +445 million. The BRL +796 million recurring EBITDA was partially offset by BRL -99 million in consolidated integration costs and BRL -40 million of other operating expenses mainly related to Holding strategic projects. Excluding non-operating impacts, underlying net income was BRL +598 million
- Q2-25 Net Debt was BRL 4.0 billion (from BRL 2.4 billion in Q4-24), up BRL 1.6 billion YTD. Natura &Co Latam actually generated cash flow in the semester, despite the typical soft seasonality of the period. The increase in net debt is mainly explained by two factors related to Avon International. First the reclassification of the company as an asset held for sale led to a lower consolidated cash position of ~BRL 750 million. And second, the company consumed BRL 1.0 billion of cash in the semester because of (i) the typical seasonality, (ii) the significant restructuring process started this year and (iii) unfavorable FX movements. In addition, there was a BRL -140 million outflow from the share buyback program, net financials consumed BRL -299 million, all of which was partially offset by the positive impact of the USD depreciation against the BRL on total debt.
1 In Q2-25, Avon International and Avon Central America and Dominican Republic (CARD) from Latam were reclassified as assets held for sale. In 2024, Avon International and CARD were accounted for as discontinued operations. All Q2 and H1 figures are comparable. To reconcile the Q1-25 published figures, please see the Appendix.
Natura's streamlining efforts advanced in Q2-25. Strategic alternatives for Avon International continued to progress, and all necessary requirements were met to classify the business unit as an asset held for sale. Additionally, Avon Central America and the Dominican Republic (CARD), previously accounted for under Natura &Co Latam, was also reclassified as an asset held for sale.
In a subsequent event, on July 1 we announced the completion of the merger of Natura &Co into Natura Cosméticos S.A. In parallel, final simplifications were made to the Holding structure, retaining only the teams whose responsibilities were not already absorbed by the Latam organization-such as the Board of Directors and Investor Relations.
In summary, this objectively means that from now on, our continuing operations, including the P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet, exclusively reflect the remaining corporate structure and Natura &Co Latam business.
On the operational front, Q2-25 continued to deliver healthy results and slightly better than expectations. Revenue kept a positive pace in our core market, Brazil, with Natura maintaining above-market performance, more than offsetting the ongoing challenges still faced by the Avon brand. In Hispanic markets, the integration of Natura and Avon-the "Wave 2"-progressed, with implementation taking place in Mexico in May and in Argentina in July.
Despite the volatility associated with the final steps of Wave 2, profitability remained sound, coming in just 100 basis points below Q1-25. The recurring EBITDA margin reflected a combination of a solid gross margin-supported by contributions from more mature Wave 2 markets-and a balanced approach between structural investments and efficiencies unlocked through the combination of Natura and Avon.
Latam operations were positive from a cash flow to firm perspective during the semester, despite typical 1H seasonality. However, on a consolidated basis, this was more than offset by the expected cash consumption at Avon International, driven by the aggressive restructuring efforts that progressed in line with the schedule, and the normal seasonality.
In parallel with our operating progress, Natura earned this quarter its first-ever "A" rating from CDP for both Climate and Supplier Engagement-a recognition that places us among a select group of global leaders in the fight against climate change and highlights the strength of our Net-Zero roadmap and deep value chain engagement. With our Vision 2050 now published, we shift from sustainability to regeneration, placing our Bem Estar Bem (Well-Being-Well) at the core of a strategy designed to create long-term value and resilience.
There is still a lot to be done in the second half of this year. The Wave 2 project is getting closer to its completion with final systems' simplifications still needed to migrate the Avon brand into Natura's IT backbone and to complete the move from the Interlagos manufacturing plant to Cajamar. And the review of strategic alternatives for Avon International has progressed well and continue to be a top priority for both the management and the Board.
Finally, the macroeconomic environment in Latam has become less favorable, with a notable deceleration in Brazil towards the end of Q2, a mounting pressure in Mexico and a potential meaningful FX depreciation on Argentina. While the scenario remains challenging, we remain committed to expanding the recurring FY25 EBITDA margin on a year-over-year basis including through additional cost efficiencies.
We are getting ever closer to the Company we reintroduced to the market at our Natura Day on June 30-a business built on strong brands, distributed through a unique model in high-potential markets, and supported by a committed, innovative, and execution-driven team. This powerful combination is expected to translate into consistent financial growth, with high margins and strong returns.

Operational Highlights
Channel Performance
Q2-25 average consultant base showed a -6.4% YoY decrease in Latam, split between -3.2% in Brazil and
-9.7% in Hispanic markets. The latter was mostly driven by the planned reduction of Avon consultants in Argentina and Mexico amid Wave 2 preparation and implementation, with stabilization expected after a few quarters of integration roll-out, as observed in the other combined countries
In Brazil, following a -4.9% YoY decline on average consultant base in Q1-25 and as a result of ongoing measures being implemented to stabilize the channel on a YoY basis, this quarter showed a slight YoY improvement to -3.2%

Wave 2 Status
- Mexico and Argentina update - As announced during our Natura Day on June 30, the integration of the Natura and Avon brands in Mexico was fully implemented during Q2-25 and was also rolled-out in Argentina in July/25. For now both integrations are progressing aligned with expectations
- Brazil learnings - Minimum order requirement for Natura and Avon brands remains separate, leveraging the multibrand platform management. To enhance the integration process, flexible ordering was launched during the quarter, allowing more flexibility in the purchase of Avon products when placing a Natura order (and vice versa). This order capability will be rolled-out to all Wave 2 countries by the end of Q3
-
Latam update - 2025 marks the end of the Wave 2 integration process, with only a few final steps remaining to be completed by year-end. These include final investments in systems and simplification initiatives to fully migrate the Avon brand into Natura's IT backbone in the combined countries, as well as the complete transfer of the Interlagos manufacturing plant to Cajamar. Finally, this will also mean the end of integration-related expenses, which will no longer be incurred from next year onwards
Natura Brand in Latam
- Natura Brazil reported a 10.3% YoY revenue increase in Q2-25, from productivity gains, driven by a richer mix and pricing increases combined with a broadly stable volume despite the slight channel reduction, as mentioned above in the "Channel Performance" section. During the quarter the brand's performance was solid, but a notable deceleration in Brazil and in the Beauty market was felt in June. Given the above-market rate growth already posted in H1-25, market share gains are foreseen for the FY
Q2-25 retail sales in Brazil showed robust growth, fueled by healthy same-store sales and a still solid pace of store openings LTM. The brand network expanded to 152 own stores (+31 compared to Q2-24) and 870 franchised stores (+72 compared to Q2-24)
The company continues to advance on its digitalization journey, with digital sales up by 39.8% YoY in the quarter, mainly driven by increased traffic on our digital platforms, particularly boosted by dedicated initiatives such as live commerce streaming
-
Natura Hispanic reported a 17.8% YoY revenue increase in CC in Q2-25. Ex-Argentina, the YoY increase was in the low single digits, reflecting an expected deceleration from the mid-teens posted in
Q1-25 due to the effects of the Wave 2 integration in Mexico during the quarter. In addition, the real YoY growth in Argentina decelerated with the Wave 2 preparation ahead of the expected roll-out in July
Avon Brand in Latam (Beauty Category Only)
- Avon Brazil revenue landed at -12.9% YoY in Q2-25, a similar level to YoY Q1-25 decline and still impacted by fewer innovation SKUs launched during the quarter. Innovation investments for the brand are ramping up, but their impact will lag due to the timing of new products launches
-
Avon Hispanic revenue was down -13.6% YoY in the quarter and -20.5% YoY ex-Argentina, an expected deterioration compared to the YoY figure posted in Q1-25 amid the Wave 2 integration in Mexico, as mentioned in the "Wave 2 Status" section. Additionally, the brand's performance in Argentina was severely impacted by the transition to a digital-only magazine ahead of the Q3 integration, marking the discontinuation of the physical brochure distribution in the country - a shift already implemented by the Natura brand
Home & Style
Home & Style recorded a -18.8% YoY revenue decrease, split between -25.9% in the Hispanic markets and
+2.8% in Brazil, with the latest benefited by a particularly successful opportunistic campaign leading to a positive YoY performance
This YoY revenue reduction in this segment was planned during the Natura and Avon consolidation process. In this quarter, the category was particularly impacted by the integration in Mexico and is expected to face similar temporary risks throughout the Wave 2 implementation in Argentina. It is worth noting that the impact is more pronounced in Mexico as this category accounts for a larger share of total revenues compared to other countries
Emana Pay
The platform has secured nearly 1,220,000 accounts since its inception, and a 8.9% YoY growth in TPV, reaching BRL 15.8 billion in Q2-25. The strong growth in the credit portfolio which reached BRL 940 million at the end of the quarter, brought increased productivity to consultants through better commercial and credit conditions. Consistent growth in cash-in (+40%), leveraged by the consultants' receivables tools and accounts bearing interests
Distribution Channel Breakdown
Digital sales, which include online sales and social selling, accelerated slightly again YoY in Q2-25. Natura reported a 2 percentage point (p.p.) increased contribution to 7% of total sales, which, combined with the solid retail channel performance of 6% of total sales, brings non-direct selling channels to represent 13% of the brand revenues in the quarter. QoQ, the performance was flat. The penetration of digital tools in the consultant base for Latam reached 82.1% in Q2-25 from 81.4% in Q2-24

Results Analysis
Net Revenues
-
Revenue was BRL 5.7 billion in Q2-25, remaining broadly stable year-over-year. This stability was a result of double-digit performance from Natura Brazil and revenue growth from the Natura brand in Hispanic markets, offset by still weak Avon brand performance in Brazil and the anticipated volatility of Avon and Home & Style in Hispanic markets related to the Wave 2 integration in Mexico and preparations in Argentina
Gross Margin
Gross margin landed at 66.4% in Q2-25, +80 bps YoY and a QoQ reduction compared to 67.4%1, with most of the countries posting similar gross margins QoQ with YoY improvements, with the exception of Mexico which was impacted by the Wave 2 implementation in the period
Similar to other Wave 2 markets, the integration of Natura and Avon in Mexico was accompanied by temporary write-offs accounted in COGS and another negative impact related to the significantly altered beauty consultant demand - especially for the Natura brand. This was mainly explained by higher freight costs for Natura SKUs as urgent deliveries from Brazil were needed to cover inventory shortages caused by the demand shift
As observed this quarter, volatility from Wave 2 integration may persist throughout the year, but gross margin should remain at healthy levels, assuming inflation and FX movements in main markets are not disrupted

Operating Expenses
- Latam selling, marketing and logistics expenses decreased 4.2% to BRL 2.3 billion, or 41.2% of net revenues in Q2-25, down 110 bps YoY. The improvement of selling expenses is mainly explained by efficiencies unlock by Natura and Avon integration in the region, combined with some dilution of selling expenses in Brazil amid Natura strong revenue performance and a stable YoY marketing investments as percentage of net revenues
-
Latam G&A expenses reached 14.7% of net revenues in Q2-25, up by 180 bps YoY. The increase is explained by higher investments in innovation, mainly related to Avon brand, and in systems, with the majority driven by the new integrated planning. These incremental investments combined with a deleverage of Hispanic markets G&A, amid top-line volatility in the region, explains 150 bps YoY. As noted since Q3-24 earnings release, IT and systems investments under "as-a-service" contracts have been primarily booked as Opex (previously Company used to have on-premise contracts under Capex), impacting G&A by BRL 14 million (~20 bps) in the quarter
1 In Q2-25, Avon International and Avon Central America and Dominican Republic (CARD) from Latam were reclassified as assets held for sale. In 2024, Avon International and CARD were accounted for as discontinued operations. All Q2 and H1 figures are comparable. To reconcile the Q1-25 published figures, please see the Appendix.
-
Corporate expenses totaled BRL 44 million in Q2-25, down 47% YoY, mainly driven by the final steps in streamlining the Holding company structure ahead of the merger with Natura Cosméticos, concluded on July 1st. In addition, this quarter was also impacted by BRL -11 million phasing of expenses, which benefited

-
Other operating income was BRL +27 million in Q2-25, flattish vs. the same period last year, when Latam benefited from prior periods' operating income and Holding-incurred expenses from strategic projects. In
Q2-25, Latam benefited from BRL +21 million mostly related to tax credits
-
Transformation / integration / Group restructuring costs were BRL 99 million in the quarter with BRL 88 million from Latam and BRL 11 million from Holding, related to severance from the streamline progress during Q2. Natura &Co Latam transformation expenses in the quarter were ~50% systems/IT investments, ~15% related to severance, ~15% to logistics and industrial investments, and the remaining portion to legal and other integration expenses

Recurring and Consolidated EBITDA
Recurring EBITDA reached BRL 796 million in Q2-25, up 4.5% compared to the same period last year, with a recurring EBITDA margin of 14.0% (+80 bps YoY) and reflected: Latam recurring EBITDA margin of 14.7%, down from 15.7% in Q1-251 amid Wave 2 roll-out, and up 10 bps on a YoY basis, mainly driven by an +80bps YoY gross margin improvement - supported by contributions from more mature Wave 2 markets, but almost entirely offset by G&A deleverage from Hispanic markets and higher investments in innovation and systems
A 47% YoY reduction in corporate expenses ahead of the merger, concluded on July 1st

Total net financial expenses were BRL +23.7 million in Q2-25, compared to BRL -391 million in Q2-24. The main drivers this quarter were:
- Item 1.1 Financial expenses of BRL -137 million from a total gross debt of BRL 6.3 billion, benefiting from the low interest cost of the 2028 and 2029 Bonds
- Item 1.2 Financial income of BRL +23 million from a cash position of BRL 2.3 billion impacted by lower average cash during the quarter (compared to end-of-period position) and a BRL 393 million of cash kept in USD
- Item 1.3 Gain (losses) on foreign exchange derivatives from financing activities, net of BRL -201 million related to derivatives purchased to protect the principal of the 2028 and 2029 USD bonds held by Natura &Co Luxembourg. Aligned with Q1-25 figure, when the USD depreciated against BRL, Q2-25 also showed a similar trend and therefore posted a mark-to-market loss
-
Item 3.3 Other gains (losses) from exchange rate variation of BRL +386 million mainly related to the exchange rate variation of an intercompany loan (EUR vs USD) between Natura Lux and Avon International
1 In Q2-25, Avon International and Avon Central America and Dominican Republic (CARD) from Latam were reclassified as assets held for sale. In 2024, Avon International and CARD were accounted for as discontinued operations. All Q2 and H1 figures are comparable. To reconcile the Q1-25 published figures, please see the Appendix.
Underlying Net Income and Net Income
- Reported net income was BRL 195 million in the quarter, compared to a net loss of BRL -859 million in Q2-24, when it was impacted by a BRL -725 million one-off non-cash event write-off. Q2-25 discontinued operations totaled BRL - 250 million, implying a net income from continued operations of BRL 445 million. The BRL +796 million recurring EBITDA was partially offset by BRL -99 million in consolidated integration costs and BRL -40 million of other operating expenses mainly related to Holding strategic projects. Finally, contrary to Q1-25 when tax expenses were negatively impacted by the soft Q1 seasonality adjusted by the full-year expected rate, Q2-25 tax expenses were benefited by the same full-year tax linearization and landed at BRL -25 million
Excluding non-operating impacts, underlying net income was BRL +564 million, compared to a net income of BRL +162 million in same period last year, mainly driven by lower net financial expenses and taxes

Free cash flow from continuing operations was BRL -9 million in H1-25 compared to BRL -1.2 billion in the same semester last year. Despite the historical unfavorable seasonality, at the Natura&Co level, we released BRL
+290 million of FCFF in the semester (adding back BRL 243 million from interest on debt and derivative settlements and BRL 56 million from FX on cash balance), with Natura &Co Latam releasing BRL +408 million and Holding consuming BRL -118 million. The better seasonal cash profile is mainly related to a shorter commercial credit terms to consultants, which led to lower cash consumption from accounts receivables.
During the first semester, discontinued operations (which combines Avon International and CARD) represented a cash outflow of BRL -1,762 million. These cash outflow is driven by the reclassification of the company as an asset held for sale and led to a lower consolidated cash position of ~BRL 750 million. In addition, the company consumed BRL 1.0 billion of cash in the semester because of (i) the typical seasonality, (ii) the significant restructuring process started this year and (iii) unfavorable FX movements.

Net Debt / EBITDA landed at 2.18x by the end of Q2-25, while net debt was BRL 4.0 billion (from BRL 2.4 billion in Q4-24). Gross debt reduced to BRL 6.3 billion from BRL 6.8, benefited by BRL ~500 million from the USD depreciation in our debt position, while cash & equivalents landed at BRL 2.3 billion at the end of Q2-25 from BRL
4.5 billion in Q4-24. The BRL 2.1 billion change is mainly driven by ~BRL -750 million reclassification of previously consolidated Avon's cash position to asset held for sale account and BRL -1.0 billion of cash consumption from Avon International, split between ~BRL 700 million from operations and the remaining mainly explained by FX movements. In addition, outflows from the share buyback program of BRL -140 million, BRL -118 million from Holding, BRL -299 from financial expenses more than offset the Latam BRL 408 million cash generation during first semester, despite the soft seasonality.

Revenue was BRL 5.7 billion in Q2-25, remaining broadly stable year-over-year. This stability was a result of double-digit performance from Natura Brazil and revenue growth from the Natura brand in Hispanic markets, offset by still weak Avon brand performance in Brazil and the anticipated volatility of Avon and Home & Style in Hispanic markets related to the Wave 2 integration in Mexico and preparations in Argentina
Social and environmental performance
For the first time in our fifteen-year history with CDP, Natura earned an "A" score for both Climate and Supplier Engagement Rating (SER)-an honor reserved for fewer than two percent of the 21,000-plus companies evaluated worldwide and one that no other cosmetics company in Brazil currently holds. These dual achievements places Natura among a select group of global leaders in the fight against climate change and validates the rigor of our Net-Zero roadmap, our disciplined management of climate risks and opportunities, and our deep engagement across the value chain.
During the quarter, external stakeholders continued to confirm Natura's leadership. Kantar's Brand Blueprint Awards at Cannes Lions named us the World's Most Sustainable Brand; Brand Finance ranked Natura the leading cosmetics brand for environmental performance; Sustainable Business COP30 (SB COP) appointed our CEO, João Paulo Ferreira, to chair its Bioeconomy working group-placing Natura at the center of Brazil's official private-sector contribution to COP30 negotiations; and the Merco ESG Responsibility index recognized us for the eleventh consecutive year.Operationally, we advanced decarbonization at scale. Certified clean-energy power-purchase agreements (PPAs) were extended to Moreno (Argentina) and Cajamar (Brazil), where renewables will meet approximately 60 percent and 50 percent of electricity demand, respectively. Combined with our earlier PPA in Celaya (Mexico), the new agreements position us to avoid up to 5.8 kilotons of CO₂e annually-directly reinforcing Net-Zero targets and reducing exposure to long-term energy-cost volatility.
In the Amazon, we commissioned our 20th community agro-industry-and the first solar-powered flood-plain facility-developed in partnership with ATAIC and WEG. The clean-energy processing platform improves logistical efficiency and is expected to lift participating families' income by about 60 percent. Through the Amazônia Viva Finance Mechanism, fifteen sociobiodiversity supplier associations and cooperatives have already accessed roughly R$ 13 million in low-cost credit, while an additional R$ 13.5 million in structured-investment capital has been secured to upgrade local infrastructure and financial management in line with UEBT regenerative standards-mobilizing around R$ 26.5 million to date with zero defaults. We also hosted our seventh Amazon immersion, bringing 110 community leaders together, and convened the third Mechanism meeting to deepen socio-productive collaboration. These actions unlock new bioeconomy revenue streams while safeguarding biodiversity, protecting our raw-materials pipeline, and bolstering community resilience.Our social-impact agenda remained equally active. Natura was cited as the brand that best represents Brazilian identity in the 2025 edition of the "Brasilidades" survey by MindMiners, further enhancing relevance among purpose-driven consumers. Internally, we rolled out the "Aprender +" financial-literacy campaign, tailoring content to the Human Development Index profiles of our consultants, and partnered with Electy to offer a clean-energy program that lowers household electricity costs-an initiative that accelerates a just energy transition across our network.
Looking ahead, we published our Vision 2050, which shifts the company from a sustainability focus to a regenerative one. Grounded in the principle of Bem Estar Bem- our well-being-well for people, communities, and nature-this long-term vision frames regeneration as the strategic engine for value creation. By nurturing the relationships that sustain life, we aim to build a business model that is more resilient to climate, social, and regulatory shocks while opening new avenues for growth.

EBITDA is not a measure under IFRS and does not represent cash flow for the periods presented. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and the definition of EBITDA used by Natura may not be comparable with that used by other companies. Although EBITDA does not provide under IFRS a measure of cash flow, Management has adopted its use to measure the Company's operating performance. Natura also believes that certain investors and financial analysts use EBITDA as an indicator of performance of its operations and/or its cash flow.
This report contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical fact, but rather reflect the wishes and expectations of Natura's management. Words such as "anticipate," "wish," "expect," "foresee," "intend," "plan," "predict," "project," "desire" and similar terms identify statements that necessarily involve known and unknown risks. Known risks include uncertainties that are not limited to the impact of price and product competitiveness, the acceptance of products by the market, the transitions of the Company's products and those of its competitors, regulatory approval, currency fluctuations, supply and production difficulties and changes in product sales, among other risks. This report also contains certain pro forma data, which are prepared by the Company exclusively for informational and reference purposes and as such are unaudited. This report is updated up to the present date and Natura does not undertake to update it in the event of new information and/or future events.
