| INVESTMENTS | NOTE 16 - INVESTMENTS 16.1 - Business Combination 16.1.1 - Eletronet In April 2025, after all conditions precedent set out in the agreement between the parties had been fulfilled, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the share capital of Eletronet S.A., thereby increasing its ownership interest to 100%. As a result, AXIA Energia obtained control of Eletronet. The Company previously held a 49% interest in this investee prior to obtaining control, characterizing a business combination achieved in stages. Eletronet is a privately held corporation operating in the telecommunications sector, providing high‑capacity data transport infrastructure and services. Its operations include the transmission of information signals, as well as the provision of IP transit services and high‑speed circuits. Upon acquisition of control, Eletronet’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value and incorporated into AXIA Energia’s consolidated balance sheet on the acquisition date were as follows:
The Company is not subject to contingent consideration arrangements and does not have rights to indemnification that could affect the purchase price. The fair value of net assets acquired was determined using the Income Approach, based on discounted future cash flows, applying the following key assumptions: a.Projected revenue; b.Remaining useful life of intangible assets; and c.Discount rate. Upon obtaining control, Eletronet’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value were incorporated into AXIA Energia’s consolidated balance sheet. Based on the valuation, R$452,938 was allocated to an intangible asset related to the right‑of‑use assignment, and R$71,776 was allocated to property, plant and equipment. On the acquisition date, the consideration transferred for the 51% interest acquired totaled R$329,068. The previously held 49% interest was remeasured at the fair value of the net assets acquired, as required by IFRS 3 on business combinations. The remeasurement effect of R$257,109 was recognized in profit or loss under “acquisitions and divestments results”. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated statement of profit or loss includes Eletronet’s net operating revenue of R$146,664 from May through December 2025, and net income of R$131,535 for the same period. Had Eletronet’s results been consolidated from January 1, 2025, net revenue would have increased by R$69,105 and net income would have decreased by R$16,019. This estimate was obtained by aggregating the values of the acquired assets and does not reflect the amounts actually consolidated during the year. (The information presented in this paragraph has not been audited by the independent auditors.) 16.1.2 - Asset swap transaction with Companhia Paranaense de Energia – COPEL In May 2025, the Company, together with its subsidiary AXIA Energia Sul, completed the asset swap transaction with COPEL. AXIA Energia transferred its 49.90% minority interest in Mata de Santa Genebra Transmissão S.A. (“MSG”) and its 49.00% minority interest in the Mauá Hydroelectric Plant (“UHE Mauá”) to COPEL. In exchange, the Company received the Colíder Hydroelectric Plant (“UHE Colíder”) and a financial compensation of R$196,609.
All interests involved in the transaction were measured at fair value on the date control was effectively transferred, and the assets and liabilities of UHE Colíder were incorporated into the Company’s balance sheet, as detailed below:
The fair value of the consideration transferred was determined using the Income Approach, based on discounted future cash flows, applying the following key assumptions: a.Concession terms; b.Projected revenue; c.Discount rate. The Company recognized a gain of R$157,840 in profit or loss, composed of a loss of R$131,870 related to the disposal of MSG and a gain of R$289,710 related to the disposal of UHE Mauá, reflecting the difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the assets disposed of. The agreement with COPEL provides for a payment of R$17,200 per day should the concession term of UHE Colíder be extended as a result of proceedings related to the delay in the start of commercial operation. The Company assessed the likelihood of success in obtaining such an extension as remote. The Company is required to indemnify COPEL for any losses arising from judicial disputes related to MSG and UHE Mauá, associated with the interests previously held, up to a limit of R$250,000. In return, the Company is entitled to indemnification for losses associated with UHE Colíder arising prior to the transaction closing date, also limited to the same amount. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated statement of profit or loss includes net operating revenue of R$227,552 from June through December 2025, and net income of R$45,098 for the same period. Had the acquisition of UHE Colíder occurred on January 1, 2025, consolidated net revenue would have increased by R$116,987 and consolidated net income would have increased by R$35,711. This revenue estimate was obtained by aggregating the values of the acquired asset and does not reflect the actual consolidated amounts for the year. (The information presented in this paragraph has not been audited by the independent auditors.) 16.1.2.1 - UHE Colíder On May 30, 2025, the Company assumed the concession for the Colíder Hydroelectric Plant (UHE Colíder), a 300 MW facility located on the Teles Pires River, in the state of Mato Grosso. The plant previously belonged to Companhia Paranaense de Energia (COPEL), which remains temporarily responsible for its operation. Between June and August 2025, technical events were recorded in the intake structure, including the sequential failure of four drains, which led to the recommendation for a controlled reservoir drawdown beginning on August 15. On August 29, a temporary suspension of the drawdown was recommended, and since then the reservoir has been maintained upstream at elevations between 266.10 and 267.10 meters. Working alongside specialized geotechnical and geophysical diagnostic firms, the Company identified potential voids within the structure, which were addressed through grouting with colloidal mortar to halt internal erosion. This phase was completed in November 2025. Following this intervention, the Company initiated additional tests and monitoring to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the corrective measures. The results were satisfactory and allowed the safety classification of the dam to be reclassified from “alert” to “attention.” In February 2026, the Company began the gradual and controlled refilling of the reservoir, in accordance with applicable safety guidelines and with a focus on protecting people and the environment. The refilling process was concluded in March 2026, when the reservoir level returned to elevation 272 meters which corresponds to the level observed prior to the commencement of the intervention works. Continuous monitoring activities and complementary technical studies remain in progress, with the objective of restoring the facility to a “normal” safety level. 16.2 - Changes in Investments
______________________________________________________________________________ 1The shareholders’ agreement establishes that control is achieved when the shareholding percentage exceeds two‑thirds, i.e., 66.66%. 2The 67.95% shareholding interest in Eletronuclear—comprising 35.90% of common shares and 99.99% of preferred shares—was reclassified during the period to assets held for sale. For further information, see Note 39. 3The shareholding interest in EMAE was reclassified to assets held for sale. For further information, see Note 39.
16.3 - Estimated losses on investments When objective evidence is identified of losses in investments in associates, the Company makes an assessment of the recoverable value of those investments on the basis of the discounted cash flow (value in use) or its fair value net of sales expenses, using the greater of the two. The assumptions used are the Company’s Management’s best estimate of future trends in the electricity sector and are based both on external sources of information and on historical data from the SPEs. The main premises are described below: •Growth compatible with historical data and growth prospects for the Brazilian economy; •Discount rate per year (after taxes*) specific to each SPE, respecting the capital structure and cost of debt of each one, using the WACC, using the same parameters, except for the capital structure and cost of debt, used to calculate the discount rates for corporate assets. For more information, see note 20; •Revenues projected in accordance with the contracts, with no provision for extending the concession / authorization; and •Expenses considering the Business Plan of each investee and the historical values realized.
16.4 - Measured at fair value
16.5 - Summary of information on the main jointly controlled undertakings and affiliates
16.6 - Market value of affiliates listed on the stock exchange
______________________________________________________________________________ 1The shareholding interest in EMAE was reclassified to assets held for sale. For further information, see Note 39. 16.7 – Shares in guarantee Since the Company has several lawsuits within the scope of the Judiciary, where it appears as a defendant, equity interests are offered as a guarantee, in the resources of these lawsuits, as follows:
Accounting Policy In the consolidated financial statements, the Company measures its investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates using the equity method (see Note 4.5), and other equity investments at fair value. The fair value considered for these equity interests corresponds to the current quoted price of the shares traded on the stock exchange. Under the equity method, the investor’s share of the investee’s profit or loss for the period is recognized in the investor’s profit or loss as equity results. Changes in the value of equity investments measured at fair value, arising from changes in share prices, are recognized directly in equity as other comprehensive income. Dividends received by the Company from these investees are recognized in profit or loss. In the consolidated balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries are presented, by nature, within the respective asset and liability captions and therefore do not form part of a consolidated balance of investments (see Note 4.5). The Company accounts for transactions with non‑controlling interests as equity transactions with owners of the Company. For acquisitions of non‑controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the acquired portion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s net assets is recognized directly in equity. Gains or losses arising from disposals of interests to non‑controlling interests are also recognized directly in equity, under “Other comprehensive income”. Estimates and critical judgements Losses from investments For the purposes of impairment testing of its investments, except for those quoted in active markets, the Company determines the recoverable amount as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted using a rate that reflects current market assessments and/or the Company’s cost of opportunity, the time value of money, and the risks specific to the asset. Combination of businesses In the measurement process of a business combination, the Company applies assumptions and valuation techniques that involve the exercise of Management judgment, based on its business and management model and on the individual characteristics of the elements being evaluated, resulting in the measurement of the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
