Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 6-K filing by PagSeguro Digital Ltd. (a Cayman Islands holding company and subsidiary of Universo Online S.A.) presents unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026. The filing was authorized by the Board of Directors on August 7, 2026, and submitted on August 11, 2026.

Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2026)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue and income increased by approximately 1.8% year-over-year (from R$9.91 billion to R$10.09 billion) for the six-month period.
• Profitability: Net income rose by 3.1% to R$1.09 billion, driven by a 4.3% increase in profit before taxes.
• Credit Losses: Credit loss allowance expenses increased significantly by 165% year-over-year (from R$48.9 million to R$129.6 million), reflecting higher provisioning for payroll loans, credit card receivables, and loans.
• Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 66% from R$1.86 billion at year-end 2025 to R$624 million at June 30, 2026. This reduction is attributed to dividend payments and operational cash usage.
• Debt Structure: Total borrowings decreased to R$1.50 billion from R$2.44 billion at year-end 2025. However, obligations to FIDC quota holders increased to R$2.29 billion from R$1.17 billion due to new issuances in March 2026.
• Share Capital: The company cancelled 15 million treasury shares in February 2026, reducing the total outstanding shares to 290.7 million.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Dividend Announcement: On August 11, 2026, the Board approved a cash dividend of US$0.28 per common share, payable on September 30, 2026.
• Accounting Standards (IFRS 18): The company is assessing the impact of IFRS 18, effective January 1, 2027. This will require retrospective restatement of comparative information and changes to the presentation of operating profit, foreign exchange differences, and derivative gains/losses.
• Financial Risks:
  • Interest Rate Risk: The company is exposed to fluctuations in the CDI rate. Sensitivity analysis indicates that a decrease in CDI rates would negatively impact net financial income due to the structure of liabilities (certificates of deposit, interbank deposits).
  • Credit Risk: Management monitors credit risk via a Credit Committee. Expected credit losses (ECL) increased, with significant write-offs in payroll loans (R$40.1 million) and credit card receivables (R$14.7 million) during the period.
  • Foreign Exchange Risk: Exposure exists primarily through POS device purchases and dividends denominated in USD. The company utilizes Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) to hedge these exposures.
• Contingencies: The company faces tax and civil lawsuits with potential losses totaling R$1.30 billion (unprovisioned). Key disputes include IOF assessments on intercompany loans (R$387 million) and PIS/COFINS credits (R$202 million).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Flow Sustainability: Verify the impact of the significant drop in cash reserves (R$1.23 billion decrease) against upcoming dividend obligations and debt maturities.
• Credit Quality: Review the 165% increase in credit loss allowances and the composition of Stage 3 (impaired) assets in the credit portfolio.
• Related Party Transactions: Examine the R$649 million in banking issuances (Certificates of Deposit) held by related parties (UOL Group entities) and the associated interest costs.
• Regulatory Exposure: Assess the potential financial impact of the R$1.3 billion in unprovisioned tax contingencies, specifically the IOF and PIS/COFINS disputes.
• IFRS 18 Impact: Monitor future filings for restated comparative data and changes in operating profit definitions starting in 2027.
