From time to time, SYN discloses so-called non-GAAP financial measures, primarily EBITDA. EBITDA represents profit (loss) before income and social contribution tax for the fiscal year or period, excluding the effects of the financial result, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of goodwill. EBITDA is not Brazilian or the U.S. GAAP measurement, does not represent cash flows for the periods presented and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of SYN’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as an indicator of liquidity. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and SYN’s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA as used by other companies.

Although the EBITDA does not provide, according to the Brazilian Accounting Principles (BR GAAP) or the U.S. Accounting Principles (US GAAP), measures of the operational cash flows, SYN management uses EBITDA to measure its operating performance. Additionally, the Company management believes that disclosure of EBITDA can provide useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of the Company’s operating performance and its comparison to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries.

What should be taken into account for any of these indicators is that adjusted indicators disregard the non-recurring effects of the period. These non-recurring effects may vary for each company or sector. For instance, in the sale of a portfolio asset, the revenue from the transaction is excluded from Net Income to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. A similar procedure is carried out for the other indicators, resulting in their respective adjusted figures.

NOI is the abbreviation for “Net Operating Income”. This indicator represents the difference between revenue and operating costs and expenses. The calculation, used to measure the performance of our buildings and shopping centers, involves adding up the revenue (net of discounts) and subtracting the direct costs of the ventures.

SYN was founded in 2007 as CCP (Cyrela Commercial Properties) following the spin-off of Cyrela Brazil Realty’s commercial real estate activities. Today, it is one of Brazil’s leading companies in the acquisition, leasing, sales, development, and operation of commercial properties, with a focus on shopping centers and high-end office buildings, concentrating its investments in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

SYN is one of the leaders in the commercial property segment and operates in the development, leasing, management and operation of commercial properties. SYN provides property management services (lease management and condominium management), asset management of third-party capital, management of purchase and sale transactions for third parties, provision of CSC services and parking management.

In 2023, SYN reinforced its commitment to sustainable development by approving the new ESG and Sustainability Policy, which sets forth solid internal guidelines and establishes the following commitments:

• Commitment to the use of alternative water sources in developments.
• Commitment to the use of incentivized electricity sources in SYN’s developments.

• Commitment to raising awareness and sensitizing leadership on the importance of diversity and inclusion, as well as training and educating employees.
• Commitment to the socioeconomic development of the communities surrounding our properties, allocating part of the Company’s annual net profit to support the actions of Instituto SYN.
• Commitment to the preparation and annual disclosure of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory (IGEE) in accordance with GHG Protocol guidelines, including scopes 1, 2, and 3. The Company adopts the emissions consolidation method by property.
