T he basis for classification depends on the Company’s business financial assets management model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset . The classifications of the financial assets are detailed below: Amortized cost Held within the business model in order to collect to collect contractual cash flows; these cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest and are, therefore, initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provisions for reduction to recoverable amount. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized in finance income. Any gains or losses due to the write-off of the asset are recognized directly in the profit or loss, together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented separately in the Consolidated S tatement of I ncome . Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) A financial asset is measured at fair value through comprehensive income if it meets the concept of principal and interest only payments and is held within the business model whose objective is to both , collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets. Changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income, and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognized in the profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses that had been previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is recognized in finance income using the effective interest method. Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss when they do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income or when on initial recognition was designated to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch. Any exchange gains or losses are recognized in the Consolidate Statement of Income . Derecognition of financial assets The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows from investing activities expire or when it transfers the investments and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Expected credit losses Getnet assesses, on a prospective basis at each reporting date, the expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment assessment methodology applied depends on whether there is a significant increase in credit risk and the loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collaterals held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. The Company recognizes an allowance for ECLs for all financial assets not measured at FVPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that Getnet expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Getnet applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs, therefore, Getnet instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs, provision matrix and days past due at each reporting date. For accounts receivable, Getnet applies the simplified approach as permitted by IFRS 9 by recognizing lifetime expected credit losses from the initial recognition of the receivables. Estimates and critical accounting judgments Financial assets measured at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income are tested for impairment at the end of each annual reporting period . The carrying amounts of these assets are adjusted by the loss allowance as a contra entry to the Consolidated Statement of Income . The reversal of previously recognized losses is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the year in which the impairment decreases and can be objectively related to a recovery event. The amount recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the line item ‘ Other expenses, net ’ is disclosed in table ‘ Movements in the provision for expected credit losses ’ in the note 5.1 5.2 Financial liabilities a) Accounts payable 12/31/2021 12/31/2020 Payment transactions (1) 50,980,629 38,241,934 Other financial liabilities (2) 629,776 525,222 Total 51,610,405 38,767,156 (1 Refers mainly to payment transactions with Santander Brazil (related party) in the amount of R$ 18,858,043 on December 31, 2021 and R$ 17,474,617 on December 31, 2020 (further details note 11) and commercial establishments.

These amounts refer mainly to judicial deposit, protection deposit of BACEN . (2) The carrying values of O ther liabilities are measured at amortized cost . These amounts refer mainly to payables to suppliers . The fair value of the financial assets and the liabilities are substantially similar to their book value. Accounting policy Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the major or most advantageous market, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is used to measure and disclose fair value, as shown below: Level 1 —Prices quoted (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For investments in investment funds, the price of the fund unit share is an appropriate indicator of fair value and falls into this fair value hierarchy category. For the financial investments, fair value is determined based on the interbank deposit interest rate (DI), released to the market through official agencies (Cetip, BACEN, etc.), and from the fund unit value published by CVM, respectively . Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable in the market for assets or liabilities, either directly (such as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). This category includes (i) accounts receivable; (ii) loans and borrowings ; and (i ii ) other assets and other liabilities . For loans and borrowings , fair value was determined using the expected payment of principal and interest until maturity at the contractual rates. Level 3 —Inputs on assets or liabilities that are not based on observable data adopted by the market (i.e., unobservable inputs). The valuation technique for the fair values of the other financial instruments classified as Level 3 is the discounted cash flow method. Getnet does not have assets or liabilities measured at Level 3 fair value. Estimates and critical accounting judgments Financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at the end of each annual period using valuation techniques. This calculation is based on assumptions that take into consideration the Company’s judgment based on information and market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period . Getnet classifies the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the model used in the measurement process, segregating the financial instruments into levels 1, 2 or 3. 5 . 4 Sensitivity analysis The following analysis estimates the potential value of the financial instruments in hypothetical stress scenarios of the main market risk factors (fixed interest rate and foreign currency risk: exposure subject to exchange fluctuations) that impact each position . This analysis was performed according to topics presented in footnote 4 d).

Possible Scenario: taking into account a 25% deterioration in the associated risk variables. Remote Scenario: taking into account a 50% deterioration in the associated risk variables. Accounting policy Sensitivity analysis to foreign currency The sensitivity analysis includes outstanding monetary items and foreign currency-denominated transaction (U . S . D ollar s ), such as l oans and borrowings , and adjusts their translation at the end of each year by the exchange rates, taking into account the changes shown above . Sensitivity analysis to changes in interest rates The yield on short-term investments and the interest from loans are mainly affected by changes in the interbank deposit interest rate (DI) and SELIC. |
