These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Revenue was affected by a decline in customer traffic at AZUL BY MOUSSY and the dissolution of the China joint venture. Gross profit benefited from lower inventory valuation losses through tighter purchasing controls and the early conversion of inventory into cash based on inventory conditions. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined due to lower outsourced sales commissions linked to revenue and tighter control of fixed costs. Net profit returned to profitability following the elimination of equity-method investment losses associated with the dissolution of the China joint venture and the recognition of gains on the sale of shares in an affiliate.
