(1)For the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly refers to the transfer of tax loss carryforwards and negative Social Contribution on Net Profit bases from the indirect subsidiary Seara Alimentos and its indirect subsidiaries to JBS S.A. These tax losses were used to settle a tax assessment related to the taxation of profits earned abroad for the 2016 calendar year, which was upheld in a final decision by the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals through a casting vote. This enabled full settlement with reductions in fines and interest by using the accumulated tax loss carryforwards. The adjustment also includes deferred taxes related to the gain on the purchase of Agro Alfa and Via Rovigo, as well as cash flow hedge operations recognized in other comprehensive income by the subsidiary Seara Alimentos, and the pension plan in the United States of America.
(2)The hedge and hedge accounting operations are demonstrated in footnote 27 - Risk management and financial instruments.

(3)The Group and its subsidiaries have subsidies granted by state governments, as a presumed credit, in accordance with the regulations of each state. The amounts appropriated from this tax incentive as revenue in the income statement are excluded in the calculation of taxes on profit, when the requirements set out in current legislation are met.
(4)The income from foreign subsidiaries must be taxed at the Brazilian statutory tax rate of 34%, and the income tax paid abroad by these subsidiaries may be used to compensate income taxes to be paid in Brazil. The results obtained from foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxation by the countries where they are based, according to applicable rates and legislation (profits taxed by-foreign jurisdictions included in the reconciliation of income tax and social contribution expense). The Group analyzes the results of each subsidiary for the application of its income tax legislation, in order to respect the treaties signed by Brazil and avoid double taxation.
