12 Leases

 

The Group recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently, at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment and adjusted for certain remeasurement of lease liabilities.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at the start date, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease agreement. When the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate is used as discount rate.

 

The Group when measuring and remeasuring its lease liabilities and the right of use, used the discounted cash flow technique without considering projected future inflation in the flows to be discounted. Such prohibition generates relevant distortions in the information to be provided, given the current reality of long-term interest rates in the Brazilian economic environment.

 

The expenses related to these leases is recognized as cost of depreciation of right of use assets. Financial expenses on lease obligations are recognized and demonstrated as interest expense.

 

The Group uses the optional exemption to not recognize a right of use asset and lease liability for short term (less than 12 months) and low value leases. The average discount rate used for measuring lease liabilities was 5.24% as of December 31, 2025 (5.16% and 5.85% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively).
