Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company financial statements of Fleury S.A.

(the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2022 and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Fleury S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Consolidated"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2022 and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fleury S.A. and of Fleury S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2022, and the financial performance and the cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the consolidated financial performance and the cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the ethical requirements established in the Code of Professional Ethics and Professional Standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Why it is a Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Revenue Recognition (Note 27)

At December 31, 2022 ,the parent company and consolidated financial statements included revenue from services rendered. The Company's revenues arise from the rendering of services and are recognized based on the services performed up to the balance sheet date. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized, considering the services rendered and billed and services rendered but not billed, and to estimate the losses resulting from procedures performed but not approved by health plan operators (called "disallowances"). Considering the high number of locations where services are rendered, the procedures adopted by management must comprise strict controls and analyses to ensure that revenues from services rendered are recognized within the correct accrual period, as well as to ensure that the corresponding receivables are recognized at their realizable values.

.

Due to the materiality of the amounts in the process of recognizing revenue from services rendered, as well as the characteristics inherent in the measurement of the estimated losses from disallowances, which involves analysis of assumptions and measurement criteria, we understand that these matters are significant in our audit work.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

  1. Understanding of the process and adequacy of the accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries for the recognition of revenue, specifically those related to the billing of services rendered and the measurement of services rendered but not billed (revenues to be billed).
  2. Analysis of the reconciliation of billing reports for the period from January to December 2022 with the accounting records for the revenue recognized in the financial statements.
  3. Documentary tests, on a sample basis, on the existence of revenue from services billed and to be billed during the year, checking the timing of revenue recognition and the amounts recognized.
  4. Analysis of the assumptions and measurement criteria used for the estimated losses from disallowances and their adherence to the Company's accounting policies, as well as the recalculation of the accruals for losses resulting from disallowances at December 31, 2022.
  5. Reading of the disclosures in the parent company and consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the evidence obtained through the procedures summarized above, we believe that the criteria adopted by management for the recognition of revenue from services rendered and the accruals for the estimated losses from disallowances are reasonable.

Recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 12)

At December 31, 2022, the parent company and consolidated financial statements included goodwill from business combinations that recoverable amount of which is tested annually as required by CPC 01/IAS 36 - "Impairment of assets". For impairment testing, goodwill is

Our audit procedures included, among others:

allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs), the values in use of which are based on estimated future cash flows, discounted to their net present values. This involves the determination of assumptions such as: business growth rates and discount rates.

Due to the uncertainties related to the assumptions used to estimate the values in use of the CGUs, which may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts, we consider this a significant matter in our audit work.

  1. Analysis, with the assistance of our corporate finance specialists, of the assumptions used by the Company, especially those related to business growth rates, cash flow projections and the respective discount rates, and comparison of the assumptions used by the Company, when available, with data obtained from external sources, such as projected economic growth and discount rates.
  2. Reading of the disclosures provided by the Company in the parent company and consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the evidence obtained through the procedures summarized above, we consider that the valuation methodologies and assumptions adopted by management are reasonable, and the disclosures are consistent with the information obtained.

Other matters

Statements of Value Added

The parent company and consolidated Statements of Value Added for the year ended

December 31, 2022, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, were submitted to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. For the purposes of forming our opinion, we evaluated whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". In our opinion, these Statements of Value Added have been properly prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in the Technical Pronouncement and are consistent with the parent company and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Other information accompanying the parent company and consolidated financial statements and the auditor's report

The Company's management is responsible for the other information that comprises the Management Report.

Our opinion on the parent company and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report, and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.

In connection with the audit of the parent company and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company and consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
