EXPLANATORY NOTE
JBS N.V., a public limited liability company ( naamloze vennootschap ) organized under the laws of the Netherlands, qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although, as a foreign private issuer, JBS N.V. is not required to do so, beginning with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), JBS N.V. has voluntarily elected to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. JBS N.V.’s voluntary filing of this Quarterly Report does not affect its status as a foreign private issuer.
In addition, as a foreign private issuer voluntarily filing this Quarterly Report, JBS N.V. has not prepared, and is not required to prepare, its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Instead, JBS N.V.’s audited annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (“IFRS – Accounting Standards”), and JBS N.V.’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB. IFRS – Accounting Standards differs in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP. JBS N.V.’s financial statements (as defined elsewhere in this Quarterly Report) have not been reconciled to U.S. GAAP, and no reconciliation is provided in this Quarterly Report. Accordingly, JBS N.V.’s reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows may not be comparable to those of U.S. domestic registrants that report under U.S. GAAP, and readers should exercise caution in making any such comparison.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report includes statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we or our management expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements represent our reasonable judgment on the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect” and other words of similar meaning. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements of our current views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions in domestic and international markets and our performance and financial results.
Among the factors that may cause actual results and events to differ from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are the following:
• the risk of outbreak of animal diseases, more stringent trade barriers in key export markets and increased regulation of food safety and security;
• product contamination or recall concerns;
• fluctuations in the prices of live cattle, hogs, chicken, corn and soymeal;
• fluctuations in the selling prices of beef, pork and chicken products;
• developments in, or changes to, the laws, regulations and governmental policies governing our business and products or failure to comply with them, including environmental and sanitary liabilities;
• currency exchange rate fluctuations, trade barriers, exchange controls, political risk and other risks associated with export and foreign operations;
• changes in international trade regulations;
• our strategic direction and future operation;
• deterioration of economic conditions globally and more specifically in the principal markets in which we operate;
• our ability to implement our business plan, including our ability to arrange financing when required and on reasonable terms and the implementation of our financing strategy and capital expenditure plan;
• the successful integration or implementation of mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances or divestiture plans;
• the competitive nature of the industry in which we operate and the consolidation of our customers;
• customer demands and preferences;
• our level of indebtedness;
• adverse weather conditions in our areas of operations;
• continued access to a stable workforce and favorable labor relations with employees;
• our dependence on key members of our management;
• the interests of our ultimate controlling shareholders;
iii
• reputational risk in connection with U.S. and Brazilian civil and criminal actions and investigations involving our ultimate controlling shareholders, and the outcome of these actions;
• economic instability in Brazil and a resulting reduction in market confidence in the Brazilian economy;
• political crises in Brazil;
• the declaration or payment of dividends or interest attributable to shareholders’ equity;
• the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing conflict involving Israel, the United States and Iran in the Middle East, including higher prices for commodities, such as food products, ingredients and energy products, increasing inflation in some countries, and disrupted trade and supply chains as a result of disruptions caused by these conflicts;
• unfavorable outcomes in legal and regulatory proceedings and government investigations that we are, or may become, a party to;
• other risks described discussed under the heading “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in our Form 20-F and other issues discussed herein;
• other factors or trends affecting our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations; and
• other statements contained in this Quarterly Report regarding matters that are not historical facts.
In addition, there may be other factors and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results and events to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements. Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate.
We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

1 Background Information
1.1 Reporting entity
JBS N.V. (“JBS N.V.” or the “Company”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, domiciled in Amsterdam, and the holding entity of the JBS Group. The Company also holds an interest in the Mantiqueira Group, an associate. JBS N.V. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) operate globally, mainly in the animal protein, prepared foods and related products sectors, while the Mantiqueira Group operates in the production and sale of eggs and related products. The Company is registered as a Foreign Private Issuer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and as a foreign issuer with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), with its Class A common shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “JBS” and its Level II Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDRs) traded on B3 under the code “JBSS32”. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise JBS N.V. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and were authorized by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2026.
1.2 Main events that occurred during the period:
1.2.1 Payment of dividends: On March 25, 2026, the Board of Directors of JBS N.V. approved the payment of a cash dividend of US$ 1.00 per share, payable to shareholders of record as of the close of trading on May 18, 2026. The dividend was paid on June 17, 2026.
1.2.2 Transition to filing SEC Reports as a U.S domestic company: On May 12, 2026, JBS N.V. announced its voluntary transition to file regulatory reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a U.S. domestic issuer. This change becomes effective with the Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2026. As a "large accelerated filer," the Company will be subject to accelerated disclosure deadlines, specifically 40 days for quarterly reports (Form 10-Q) and 60 days for annual reports (Form 10-K).
1.2.3 Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA) : On June 25, 2026, the indirect subsidiary Seara Aliments Ltda., priced and filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) an application to register an offering of four series of Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA), guaranteed by JBS S.A. and JBS N.V., with scheduled maturities in 2031, 2031, 2036 and 2046, in an aggregate principal amount of US$ 102.4 millions. The settlement of the offering occurred on June 30, 2026. The net proceeds from the issuance will be primarily used for the acquisition of raw materials, notably in natura corn, in the ordinary course of business of the Company.
1.2.4 Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East: During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East increased macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility in energy and commodity markets, affecting the Group’s cost structure, primarily in relation to supplies, including packaging materials, transportation and freight, as well as higher costs associated with maritime transportation and the use of alternative routes. During the period, the Group incurred additional costs related to these effects. Management continues to monitor developments in this environment, including potential changes in transportation routes and possible trade restrictions, as well as their potential impacts on the Group’s operations and cost structure.
1.2.5 Early Extinguishment of Debt: During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as part of its liability management initiatives, the Group completed the early settlement of certain debt instruments. In this context, agreements related to Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA), originally maturing in 2027, 2032, and 2037, as well as Senior Notes originally maturing in 2033 and 2034, were settled before their respective maturity dates. These transactions resulted in the recognition of financial expenses of US$ 171.6 million, comprising: (i) the write-off of previously capitalized issuance costs that would have been recognized in profit or loss over the original terms of the debt instruments, amounting to US$ 36.6 million; (ii) premiums paid in connection with the early redemption of the Senior Notes, amounting to US$ 133.6 million; and (iii) costs incurred in connection with the tender offers, amounting to US$ 1.4 million.

1.3 Subsequent events
1.3.1 Transfer of CRA debt obligations: On July 21, 2026, the indirect subsidiaries JBS S.A. and Seara Alimentos Ltda. approved the necessary measures to transfer to Seara the obligations arising from the 9th, 10th, and 11th issuances of debentures of JBS S.A., which are linked to the 122nd, 176th, and 204th issuances of Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA), respectively. The Company is awaiting confirmation of the date for the special meeting of CRA holders to approve the Transaction. Upon fulfillment of the conditions and receipt of the approvals provided for in the transaction documents, Seara will become the principal debtor of the aforementioned obligations, while JBS S.A. will remain as a guarantor through a corporate guarantee. Additionally, JBS N.V. will also become a guarantor, subject to approval by the CRA holders.
1.3.2 Infrastructure debentures: On July 16, 2026, the indirect subsidiaries JBS S.A. filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) a request for the automatic registration of a public offering of 400,000 simple, non-convertible debentures, guaranteed by JBS N.V., in a single series, corresponding to JBS S.A.’s 12th debenture issuance. The debentures have a unit face value of approximately US$ 193 , totaling approximately US$ 77.3 million, and are intended exclusively for professional investors. The total net proceeds will be used to reimburse costs already incurred and to fund future investments related to the Campo Verde, Lins, Mafra and JBS Terminais projects.
1.3.3 Joint Venture with PT Danantara Investment Management: On August 7, 2026, the indirect subsidiary JBS USA Holding Lux S.à r.l., entered into an agreement with PT Danantara Investment Management (“DIM”), the investment arm of Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund, to form a joint venture. As part of the transaction, the Group’s Australia and New Zealand businesses will be transferred to a Dutch holding company, in which DIM will hold a 25 % interest through a US$ 2.5 billion investment. Of this amount, US$ 800 million will be invested at the completion of the transaction, with the remaining amount to be invested within the following three years. The joint venture will pursue investment opportunities in the protein production sector in Indonesia, other Southeast Asian markets, Australia and New Zealand. Completion of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
1.3.4 JBS N.V. Planned Leadership Transition: On August 10, 2026, JBS N.V. announced that Wesley Batista Filho will become Global CEO of the Company, effective January 2027. The appointment is part of a planned leadership transition and reflects the Company's commitment to thoughtful succession planning. Batista Filho began his career at JBS 15 years ago and has held leadership roles across the Company's global operations, including as CEO of JBS Brazil, President of Seara and, since 2023, CEO of JBS USA. Gilberto Tomazoni will step down after 14 distinguished years with the Company, including eight years as Global CEO. Having led JBS through one of the most transformative periods in its history, Tomazoni will oversee the leadership transition over the next five months before assuming the role of Vice Chairman of the Board and Senior Advisor. He will also continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (PPC) and will become Chairman of the J&F Institute, an institution dedicated to developing the next generation of business leaders.
1.4 Brazilian Tax Reform
There were no significant updates during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 in relation to the Brazilian Tax Reform matters disclosed in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
1.5 Seasonality
The demand for chicken is relatively stable throughout the year in the United States, Europe and Brazil, but there are seasonal variations in the sales volume of certain products at specific times of the year, such as: Christmas, New Year, and Easter. Demand in the United States beef industry is highest in the second and third quarters, due to favorable weather conditions for outdoor activities. In Australia, the beef industry faces a drop in slaughters in the fourth quarter, as the rainy season affects the availability and transport of cattle. In Brazil, beef sales do not fluctuate significantly during the year. The pork industry in the United States and Australia has peaks in demand in the first and fourth quarters, due to the supply of
13
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (Expressed in thousands of United States dollar)
pork and the holidays, which stimulate the consumption of certain pork products, with no significant fluctuation in pork numbers in other locations.
2 Basis of preparation and presentation of financial statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and should be read in conjunction with the Group´s last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“last annual financial statements”). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to describe events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group´s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
2.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations
a. Standards, amendments and interpretations recently issued and adopted by the Group
IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification, Measurement and Disclosure of Financial Instruments.
Effective January 1, 2026, amendments to IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures became applicable, clarifying certain requirements related to the recognition, derecognition, classification and disclosure of financial instruments, including financial assets with contingent features and contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity.
The Group is assessing the impacts of adopting these amendments and, to date, no material impacts have been identified on its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, other than potential enhancements to the required disclosures.
b. New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements.
As disclosed in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
The Group has started its implementation project and is assessing the expected impacts of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements. Based on the assessment performed to date, IFRS 18 is not expected to affect the recognition or measurement of assets, liabilities, income or expenses. However, the standard is expected to affect the presentation and disclosure of financial information, particularly the structure of the statement of profit or loss, the classification of income and expenses into the new categories, the presentation of newly defined subtotals and the disclosure of management performance measures, when applicable.
The Group will continue to assess the impacts of the new standard and will update its disclosures as the implementation project progresses and the impacts become known or can be reasonably estimated.

(1) In May 2025, the indirect subsidiary JBS S.A. acquired tax credit rights from the related party Laguz I Fundo de Investimento through an agreement providing for 23 installments, with final maturity in April 2028. These tax credits originate from a judicial claim related to the export credit premium incentive. The case has already been definitively settled in favor of the taxpayer, and is currently in the final stage of assessment and confirmation of the credit balance. The credit rights were acquired at an approximate discount of 35 %, and the credits will be used to offset JBS S.A.'s tax obligations once the case is finalized and the use of the credits is authorized by the relevant regulatory authorities. The credits have been recorded under “Other non-current assets” in the financial statements.
(2) The net balance payable to J&F S.A. refers to: (i) US$ 87,468 receivable, arising from the settlement agreement entered into between JBS S.A., J&F S.A., and certain former executives of the Company, which resulted in the definitive termination of the dispute addressed in arbitration proceeding, under which J&F S.A. committed to settle the amount in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement; and (ii) US$ 92,453 payable, related to the purchase of the Araputanga Plant, to be settled in 11 installments, with final maturity in May 2027.

(1) CDBs are updated at the effective rate but have a short-term and negotiated with financial institutions, and their recognition is similar to fair value; national treasury bill is recognized according to market value.
(2) Loans and receivables are classified as amortized cost; the accounts receivable are short-term and net from expected losses.
Fair value of assets and liabilities: Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and an intention to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Fair value measurements are classified into hierarchy levels based on the significance of the inputs used in determining fair value, as defined below:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – valuation techniques using observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1;
Level 3 – valuation techniques using unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Fair value of assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost: The fair value of the Notes (Bonds) under Rule 144-A and Regulation S, are estimated using the closing sale price of these securities informed by a financial newswire on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, considering there is an active market for these financial instruments. The carrying amount of the remaining fixed-rate loans approximates fair value since the interest rate market, the Group's credit quality, and other market factors have not significantly changed since entering into the loans. The carrying amount of variable-rate loans and financings approximates fair value given the interest rates adjusted for changes in market conditions and the quality of the Group’s credit rating has not substantially changed. For all other financial assets and liabilities, carrying amount

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (Expressed in thousands of United States dollar)
approximates fair value due to the short duration of the instruments. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the principal amount is US$ 19,102,688 (US$ 18,052,688 on December 31, 2025) and the fair value is US$ 18,799,743 (US$ 18,157,182 on December 31, 2025).

c. Commodity price risk
The Group operates globally (across the entire livestock protein chain and related business) and during the regular course of its operations is exposed to price fluctuations in feeder cattle, live cattle, lean hogs, corn, soybeans, and energy, especially in the North American, Australian and Brazilian markets. Commodity markets are characterized by volatility arising from external factors including climate, supply levels, transportation costs, agricultural policies and storage costs, among others. The Risk Management Department is responsible for mapping the exposures to commodity prices of the Company and proposing strategies to the Risk Management Committee, in order to mitigate such exposures.

(1) Includes interest on all loans and financing outstanding. Payments are estimated for variable rate debt based on effective interest rates on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Payments in foreign currencies are estimated using the June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 exchange rates.
The Group has future commitment for purchase of grains and cattle whose balances as of June 30, 2026 in the amount of US$ 34.3 billion (US$ 27.9 billion on December 31, 2025).
The Group has securities pledged as collateral for derivative transactions with the commodities and futures whose balance as of June 30, 2026 is in the amount of US$ 168,301 (US$ 159,562 on December 31, 2025). This guarantee is larger than its collateral.
The interest payments on variable interest rate loans and bond issues in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may change as market interest rates change. The future cash flows on derivative instruments may be different from the amount in the above table as interest rates and exchange rates or the relevant conditions underlying the contingency change. Except for these financial liabilities, it is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.
26 Supplemental financial information
The Group’s income and cash flow are generated by its subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the Group's debt service obligations, including its obligations as the issuer under its existing senior unsecured notes, are provided in large part by distributions or advances from its subsidiaries.

In compliance with the reporting covenant under the indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes, the financial information set forth below is presented under the following column headings: Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

In terms of consumption, in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and in the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated 73%, 75% and 74% of our net revenue from sales in the countries where we operate our facilities, which we classify as domestic sales, and 27%, 25% and 26% of our net revenue represented export sales. The United States, Brazil and Australia are leading exporters of protein to many fast-growing markets, including Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Asia represented 51%, 49% and 50% of our net revenue from export sales in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and in the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, primarily from sales in China, Japan and South Korea. Africa and the Middle East collectively represented 11%, 12% and 12% of our net revenue from export sales in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and in the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
Reportable Segments
Our management has defined our operating segments based on the reports that are used to make strategic decisions, analyzed by our chief operating decision maker, who is our chief executive officer. We operate in the following six reportable business segments: (1) Brazil; (2) Seara; (3) Beef North America; (4) Pork USA; (5) Pilgrim’s Pride; and (6) Australia. For additional information, see note 23 to our unaudited interim financial statements, which are included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, and note 25 to our audited financial statements, which are included in our Form 20-F, and “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Description of Business Segments” in our Form 20-F. Each segment’s operating performance is evaluated by our chief operating decision maker based on Adjusted EBITDA. See “—Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA” below for more information about Adjusted EBITDA, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss).

Description of Main Consolidated Statement of Income Line Items
Net Revenue
The vast majority of our net revenue is derived from contracts which are based upon a customer ordering our products. Net revenues are recognized when there is a contract with the customer, the transaction price is reliably measurable and when the control over the goods sold is transferred to the customer. We account for a contract, which may be verbal or written, when it is approved and committed by both parties, the rights of the parties are identified along with payment terms, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable. While there may be master agreements, the contract is only established when the customer’s order is accepted by us.
We evaluate the transaction for distinct performance obligations, which are the sale of our products to customers. Each performance obligation is recognized based upon a pattern of recognition that reflects the transfer of control to the customer at a point in time, which is upon destination (customer location or port of destination), which depicts the transfer of control and recognition of net revenue. There are instances of customer pick-up at our facility, in which case control transfers to the customer at that point and we recognize net revenue. Our performance obligations are typically fulfilled within days to weeks of the acceptance of the order.
The measurability of the transaction price can be impacted by variable consideration (i.e., discounts, rebates, incentives and the customer’s right to return products). Some or all of the estimated amount of variable consideration is included in the transaction price but only to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative net revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This varies from customer to customer according to the terms of sale. However, due to the nature of our business, there is minimal variable consideration.
Allocating the transaction price to a specific performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling prices includes estimating the standalone selling prices including discounts and variable consideration.
Shipping and handling activities are performed before a customer obtains control of the goods and its obligation is fulfilled upon transfer of the goods to a customer. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of sales. We can incur incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract, such as payment of commissions, which are not expected to be recovered. The amortization period for such expenses is less than one year; therefore, the costs are expensed as incurred and included in deductions from sales.
We receive payments from customers based on terms established with the customer. Payments are typically due within seven days of delivery for domestic accounts and 30 days for international accounts. Customer contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of satisfying the performance obligation under the contract. Moreover, a contract liability is recognized when we have an obligation to transfer products to a customer from whom the consideration has already been received. The recognition of the contractual liability occurs at the time when the consideration is received and settled. We recognize net revenue upon fulfilling the related performance obligation. Contract liabilities are presented as advances from customers in the statement of financial position.
We disaggregate our net revenues by (i) domestic sales, which refer to sales within each geographical location and (ii) export sales, which refer to sales outside of each geographical location.
We also disaggregate our net revenues between Brazil, Seara, Beef North America, Pork USA, Pilgrim’s Pride and Australia segments to align with our segment presentation in note 23 to our unaudited interim financial statements, which are included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, and note 25 to our audited financial statements, which are included in our Form 20-F.
We sell our products in the countries where we operate our facilities, which we classify as domestic sales, and elsewhere, which we classify as export sales, as follows:

Our Brazil segment includes all of our operating activities in Brazil, mainly represented by slaughter facilities, cold storage and meat processing, fat, feed and production of cattle by-products, such as leather, collagen and other products produced in Brazil. Net revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to restaurant chains, food processing companies, distributors, supermarket chains, wholesale supermarket and other significant users within the food chain.
• Net Revenue from Sales of Seara. Our Seara segment includes all the operating activities of Seara and its subsidiaries, mainly represented by chicken and pork processing, production and commercialization of food products and value-added products. Net revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to restaurant chains, food processing companies, distributors, supermarket chains, wholesale supermarket and other significant users within the food chain.
• Net Revenue from Sales of Beef North America. Our Beef North America segment includes JBS USA’s beef processing operations in North America and the plant-based businesses in Europe. This segment also sells by-products to the variety meat, feed processing, fertilizer, automotive and pet food industries and also produces value-added meat products including toppings for pizzas. Sampco LLC imports processed meats and other foods such as canned fish, fruits and vegetables to the United States and Vivera Topholding BV produces and sells plant-based protein products in Europe.
• Net Revenue from Sales of Pork USA. Our Pork USA segment includes JBS USA’s pork operations, including Swift Prepared Foods. Net revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to retailers of fresh pork, including trimmed cuts such as loins, roasts, chops, butts, picnics and ribs. Other pork products, including hams, bellies and trimmings, are sold predominantly to further processors who, in turn, manufacture bacon, sausage, and deli and luncheon meats. In addition, net revenues are generated from the sale of case ready products. As a complement to our pork processing business, we also conduct business through our hog production operations, from which, JBS USA sources live hogs for its pork processing operations.
• Net Revenue from Sales of Pilgrim’s Pride. Our Pilgrim’s Pride segment includes PPC’s operations, the majority of whose revenues are generated from United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Mexico sales of fresh and prepared chicken. The fresh chicken products consist of refrigerated (non-frozen) whole or cut-up chicken, either pre-marinated or non-marinated, and pre-packaged chicken in various combinations of freshly refrigerated, whole chickens and chicken parts. The prepared chicken products include portion-controlled breast fillets, tenderloins and strips, delicatessen products, salads, formed nuggets and patties and bone-in chicken parts. These products are sold either refrigerated or frozen and may be fully cooked, partially cooked or raw. In addition, these products are breaded or non-breaded and either pre-marinated or non-marinated. The segment also generates net revenue from the sale of prepared pork products through Pilgrim’s Pride Limited. The segment includes the specialty meats and ready meals businesses of Pilgrim’s Food Masters and generates net revenues from branded and private label meats, meat snacks, food-to-go products, and ethnic chilled and frozen ready meals.
• Net Revenue from Sales of Australia. Our Australia segment includes our fresh, frozen, value-added and branded beef, lamb, pork and fish products in Australia and New Zealand. The majority of our beef net revenues from our operations in Australia are generated from the sale of fresh beef products (including fresh and frozen chuck cuts, rib cuts, loin cuts, round cuts, thin meats, ground beef, offal and other products). We also sell value-added and branded beef products (including frozen cooked and pre-cooked beef, corned cooked beef, beef cubes and consumer-ready products, such as hamburgers and sausages). We also operate lamb, pork and fish processing facilities in Australia and New Zealand, as the result of the acquisitions of Huon Aquaculture Group Ltd and the

Rivalea hog breeding and processing business in Australia. We also generate net revenues in Australia through our cattle hoteling business.
Cost of Sales
A significant portion of our cost of sales consists of raw materials, primarily biological assets and feed ingredients. We incur costs to (1) purchase livestock (cattle, hogs and lamb) ready for slaughter in the production of beef, pork and lamb products and (2) feed live animals (chickens, hogs and fish) for breeding and slaughter in the production of chicken, pork and fish products in our vertically-integrated operations. Raw materials costs are generally influenced by fluctuations in prices to purchase (i) livestock in the spot market or under contracts and (ii) feed ingredients, primarily corn and soy meal, which are the main feed ingredients required in our vertically integrated operations. In addition to purchasing livestock and feed ingredients, our cost of sales also consists of other production costs (including packaging and other raw materials) and labor. The key drivers of costs by segment are as follows:
• Brazil. In Brazil we generally purchase cattle livestock in the spot market transactions or under contracts that fluctuate with market conditions as we do not keep or raise our own cattle. Our Brazil operations are impacted primarily by grass-fed cattle supply. Reductions in the breeding herds can affect supply, and thus costs, over a period of years.
• Seara. Our vertically-integrated chicken and pork operations are impacted primarily by fluctuations in the price of feed ingredients.
• Beef North America. We generally purchase cattle livestock in the spot market or under contracts that fluctuate with market conditions as we do not keep or raise our own cattle. Our beef operations are impacted primarily by fed cattle supply. Our beef business is directly affected by fluctuations in the spot market based on available supply and indirectly influenced by fluctuations in the price of feed ingredients.
• Pork USA. In North America, we generally purchase pork livestock in the spot market or under contracts that fluctuate with market conditions and we raise approximately 25% of our hogs. Our pork business is directly affected by fluctuations in the price of feed ingredients.
• Pilgrim’s Pride. Our vertically-integrated chicken operations are impacted primarily by fluctuations in the price of feed ingredients.
• Australia. Our Australian beef operations are impacted primarily by fed cattle supply, in addition to fish feed ingredients and hog prices.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by making the following adjustments to our net income, as further described below (see “—Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA”): exclusion of current and deferred income taxes; exclusion of share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax; exclusion of net finance expense; exclusion of depreciation and amortization expenses; exclusion of antitrust agreements expenses; exclusion of donations and social programs expenses; exclusion of impairment of assets expenses; exclusion of restructuring expenses; exclusion of fiscal payments and installments; exclusion of Rio Grande do Sul claim losses; exclusion of extemporaneous litigation expenses; exclusion of reversal of tax credits; exclusion of avian influenza impacts; exclusion of certain tax assessment notice; exclusion of closure of plants expenses; and exclusion of certain other operating income (expense), net.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist primarily of:
• General and Administrative Expenses. This line item primarily includes expenses relating to corporate payroll, utilities and maintenance of our corporate offices and headquarters.
• Selling Expenses. This line item includes expenses relating to advertising, freights, payment of commissions and salaries to members of our sales team and expected credit losses.

Net Finance Expense
Net finance expense includes expenses relating to interest incurred on our indebtedness, interest income, gains and losses related to our net exposure to foreign currencies and fair value adjustments from financing and commodity-related derivative transactions.
Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results
Acquisitions
We have a track record of acquiring and integrating operations. Through strategic acquisitions, we have built a diversified global platform, which has significantly increased our net revenues, partially due to these acquisitions.
Revenues, expenses and cash flows of acquired businesses are recorded for transactions consummated commencing after the closing date of the business acquired.
None of the acquisitions (individually or in the aggregate) that we completed during the periods discussed below under “—Summary of Results” is considered significant under the rules governing the inclusion of pro forma and historical financial statements in an SEC-registered offering of securities.
Currency
As a global company, our results of operations and financial condition have been, and will continue to be, exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The financial statements of each entity included in the consolidation are prepared using the functional currency of the main economic environment it operates.
Any depreciation or appreciation of the foreign currency exchange rate compared to an entity´s functional currency may impact our revenues, costs and expenses incurred in such functional currency or currencies other than our reporting currency, causing a monetary increase or decrease, provided that the other variables remain unchanged. In addition, a portion of our loans and financing is denominated in foreign currencies (foreign currency indicates loans denominated in a different currency from an entity´s functional currency). For this reason, any movement of the currency exchange rate compared to an entity´s functional currency may significantly increase or decrease our finance expense and our current and non-current loans and financing. Additionally, the results and financial position of all entities with a functional currency different from our functional currency (Brazilian real) have been translated to Brazilian real and then translated into the Group’s presentation currency (U.S. dollar).
Our risk management department enters into derivative instruments previously approved by our board of directors to protect financial assets and liabilities and future cash flow from commercial activities and net investments in foreign operations. Our board of directors has approved financial instruments to hedge our exposure to loans, investments, cash flows from interest payments, export estimate, acquisition of raw material, and other transactions, whenever they are quoted in currencies different than our or our subsidiaries’ functional currency. The primary exposures to exchange rate risk are in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Mexican pesos and Australian dollars.
Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our results of operations have been influenced and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors. In addition to the factors discussed below, factors that impact the results of our operations include outbreaks of livestock and poultry disease, product contamination or recalls, our ability to implement our business plan and the level of demand for our products in the countries in which we operate. D emand for our products in those countries is affected by the performance of their respective economies in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), as well as prevailing levels of employment, inflation and interest rates.
Brazil, Seara, Beef North America, Pork USA, Pilgrim’s Pride and Australia Segments
We operate globally and during the regular course of our operations are exposed to price fluctuations in feeder cattle, live cattle, lean hogs, corn, soybeans, and energy, especially in our North American, Australian and Brazilian markets.
56
Table of Contents
Commodity markets are characterized by volatility arising from external factors including climate, supply levels, transportation costs, agricultural policies and storage costs, among others.
Our risk management department is responsible for mapping our exposure to commodity prices and proposing strategies to our risk management committee in order to mitigate such exposure. Biological assets are a very important raw material used by us. In order to maintain future supply of these materials, we enter into forward contracts to anticipate purchases with suppliers. To complement these forward purchases, we use derivative instruments to mitigate each specific exposure, most notably futures contracts, to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations - on inventories and sales contracts. We take the historical average amount spent on materials as an indication of the operational value to be protected by firm contracts.
In addition to the above, our risk management department monitors a number of other metrics and indicators that affect our operations in our Brazil, Seara, Beef North America, Pork USA, Pilgrim’s Pride and Australia segments, including the following:
• production volume;
• plant capacity utilization;
• sales volume; selling prices;
• customer demand and preferences ( see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industries—Changes in consumer preferences and/or negative perception of the consumer regarding the quality and safety of our products could adversely affect our business” in our Form 20-F);
• commodity futures prices for livestock ( see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors— Risks Relating to Our Business and Industries—Our results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in market prices for, and the availability of, livestock and animal feed ingredients” in our Form 20-F);
• the spread between livestock prices and selling prices for finished goods;
• utility prices and trends;
• livestock availability;
• production yield;
• seasonality;
• the economy performance of the countries where we sell our products;
• competition and industry consolidation;
• taxation;
• perceived value of our brands;
• interest rate fluctuations;
• currency exchange rate fluctuations ( see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Markets in Which We Operate—Our exports pose special risks to our business and operations” in our Form 20-F); and
• trade barriers, exchange controls and political risk and other risks associated with export and foreign operations ( see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Markets in Which We Operate—Our exports pose special risks to our business and operations” in our Form 20-F).

Effects of the Variation of Prices for the Purchase of Raw Materials on Our Costs of Goods Sold
Our principal raw materials are livestock and feed ingredients for our chicken, pork and fish operations. Raw materials accounted for a majority of the total cost of products sold during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. Changes in the price of cattle, pork and feed ingredients have a direct impact on operating costs and are based on factors beyond our management’s control, such as climate, the supply volume, transportation costs, agricultural policies and others. We seek to hedge the price paid for cattle purchased through financial instruments in order to attempt to protect ourselves from price variations between their date of the purchase and their date of the delivery. Our risk management department is responsible for mapping the exposures to commodity prices of the JBS Group and proposing strategies to our risk management committee, in order to mitigate such exposures. Biological assets are a very important raw material used by us. In order to maintain future supply of these materials, we participate in forward contracts to anticipate purchases with suppliers. To complement these forward purchases, we use derivative instruments to mitigate each specific exposure, most notably futures contracts, to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations - on inventories and sales contracts. We take the historical average amount spent on materials as an indication of the operational value to be protected by firm contracts.
The price of cattle, pork and feed ingredients in the domestic markets has significantly fluctuated in the past, and we believe that it will continue to fluctuate over the next few years. Any increase in the price of cattle, pork and feed ingredients and, consequently, production costs may adversely impact our gross margins and our results of operations if we are not able to pass these price increases to our clients. Conversely, any decrease in the price of cattle, pork and feed ingredients and, consequently, our production costs, may positively impact our gross margins and our results of operations.
Effect of Level of Indebtedness and Interest Rates
As of June 30, 2026, our total outstanding indebtedness was US$22,650.7 million, consisting of US$1,334.9 million of current loans and financing and US$21,315.8 million of non-current loans and financing, representing 61.6% of our total liabilities, which totaled US$36,779.3 million as of June 30, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025, our total outstanding indebtedness was US$21,090.6 million, consisting of US$833.1 million of current loans and financing and US$20,257.5 million of non-current loans and financing, representing 59.2% of our total liabilities, which totaled US$35,633.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
The interest rates that we pay on our indebtedness depend on a variety of factors, including local and international interest rates and risk assessments of our company, our industry and the global economies.
Fluctuations in Domestic Market Prices of Fresh and Processed Products Can Significantly Affect Our Operating Revenues
Domestic market prices for fresh and processed products are generally determined in accordance with market conditions. These prices are also affected by the additional markup that retailers charge end consumers. We have negotiated these margins with each network of retailers and depending on the network, with each store individually.
Effects of Fluctuations in Export Prices of Fresh and Processed Products on Operating Revenues
Fluctuations in export prices of our raw and processed products can significantly affect our net operating income. The prices of fresh and processed products that we charge in domestic and export markets have fluctuated significantly in recent years, and we believe that these prices will continue to fluctuate in the future.
Effects of Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates Currencies
As our presentation currency is the U.S. dollars and some of our entities have other currencies as their functional currency (for example the Brazilian real), all else being equal, any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against these currencies will reduce the revenues and expenses of these entities, whereas any depreciation of the U.S. dollar against these currencies will increase their revenues and expenses.
For further information on our presentation currency, functional currencies and translation of foreign currencies see “—Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results—Currency” above.

Impacts from Geopolitical Tensions
The Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022. The impact of the ongoing war and sanctions has not been limited to businesses that operate in Russia and Ukraine and has negatively impacted and will likely continue to negatively impact other global economic markets including where we operate. The impacts have included and may continue to include, but are not limited to, higher prices for commodities, such as food products, ingredients and energy products, increasing inflation in some countries, and disrupted trade and supply chains. The conflict has disrupted shipments of grains, vegetable oils, fertilizer and energy products. Russia’s recent suspension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which allowed Ukraine to export grain and other food items, will likely further exacerbate rising food prices and supply chain issues if not reinstated.
The impact on the agriculture markets falls into two main categories: (1) the effect on Ukrainian crop production, as the region is key in global grain production; and (2) the duration of the disruption in trade flows. Safety and financing concerns in the region are restricting export execution, which is in turn forcing grain and oil demand to find alternative supply. The duration of the war and related volatility makes global markets extremely sensitive to growing-season weather in other global grain producing regions and has led to a large risk premium in futures prices. The continued volatility in the global markets as a result of the war has adversely impacted our costs by driving up prices, raising inflation and increasing pressure on the supply of feed ingredients and energy products throughout the global markets.
In addition, the U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions in which we operate have imposed sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and interests therein and threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, now and in the future, could adversely affect our business, supply chain or customers. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Markets in Which We Operate—Our business may be negatively impacted by economic or other consequences from conflicts, such as Russia’s war against Ukraine and Israel, the United States and Iran in the Middle East, and the sanctions imposed as a response to that actions ” in our Form 20-F for additional information.
Moreover, on October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, with Israel then declaring war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip and since then, Israel has been involved in military conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, a terrorist organization based in Lebanon, and Iran, both directly and through proxies like the Houthi movement in Yemen and armed groups in Iraq and other terrorist organizations. Although certain ceasefire agreements have been reached, and some Iranian proxies have declared a halt to their attacks, there is no assurance that these agreements will be upheld, military activity and hostilities continue to exist at varying levels of intensity, and the situation remains volatile, with the potential for escalation into a broader regional conflict involving additional terrorist organizations and possibly other countries. In June 2025, a new round of direct hostilities broke out between Israel and Iran, involving significant missile and drone strikes exchanged between the two countries. This escalation has heightened regional instability. In October 2025, a new ceasefire went into effect under a U.S.-brokered framework, providing for the release of hostages by Hamas and prisoners by Israel, withdrawal of Israeli troops to agreed lines, and increase of humanitarian aid flows into Gaza. However, significant challenges threaten the durability of this ceasefire.
In February 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against key Iranian military and infrastructure targets. This marked a significant escalation in the conflict, resulting in heightened instability across the Middle East, further disruptions to global energy markets, and increased volatility in international trade and supply chains. Escalation or expansion of hostilities, interventions by other groups or nations, the imposition of economic sanctions, disruption of shipping transit in the Straits of Hormuz or other significant trade routes, or similar outcomes could adversely affect the international trade, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East increased macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility in energy and commodity markets, affecting our cost structure, primarily in relation to supplies, including packaging materials, transportation and freight, as well as higher costs associated with maritime transportation and the use of alternative routes. During the period, we incurred additional costs related to these effects. Management continues to monitor developments in this environment, including potential changes in transportation routes and possible trade restrictions, as well as their potential impacts on our operations and cost structure.

Impact of Inflation
Most of the countries and regions in which we operate, including the United States, Brazil, Australia, Mexico and Europe, are currently experiencing pronounced inflation. None of the locations in which we operate are experiencing hyperinflation. All segments experienced inflation in operating costs, especially in labor, freight and transportation and certain materials. We have also experienced high average sales prices impacted by the current inflationary environment. We have responded to inflationary challenges in 2023, 2024 and 2025 by continuing negotiations with customers to pass through costs increases in order to recoup the increased expenses we have experienced. We also continue to focus on operational initiatives that aim to deliver labor efficiencies, better agricultural performance and improved yields.
For more information about the risks of inflation on our operations, see “ Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Markets in Which We Operate—Deterioration of global economic conditions could adversely affect our business ” and “ —We are exposed to emerging and developing country risks,” —The Brazilian government exercises, and will continue to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. These influences, as well as the political and economic conditions of the country, could negatively affect our activities” and “—Our business may be negatively impacted by economic or other consequences from conflicts, such as Russia’s war against Ukraine and Israel, the United States and Iran in the Middle East, and the sanctions imposed as a response to that actions ” in our Form 20-F.

Our other expenses decreased by US$0.4 million, or 0.8%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the decrease in restructuring expenses to US$20.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 from US$22.9 million in the same period in 2025 and the increase in losses on asset sales to

Our net finance expense increased by US$441.8 million, or 77.8%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to:
• Interest expense – Interest expense increased by US$205.5 million, or 25.9%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This was primarily due to a US$148.8 million increase in interest expenses from loans and financing;
• Bank fees and others – Bank fees and others increased by US$142.3 million, or 205.0%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to the loss on early extinguishment of debt of US$152.5 million related to the tender offer for the acquisition of certain PPC 6.250% Notes due 2033 and JBS 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034;
• Fair value adjustments on derivatives – Fair value adjustments on derivatives decreased by US$96.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This change was primarily driven by unrealized fair value losses on grain derivative positions used in our risk management activities. These fair value adjustments reflect changes in forward commodity prices during the period and are expected to be offset by the underlying physical grain purchases as they occur; and
• Interest income – Interest income decreased by US$74.8 million, or 32.8%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This was primarily due to a decrease in interest income from financial investments, mainly as a result of a reduction in cash and cash position during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.
Partially offset by:
• Gains from exchange rate variation – Gains from exchange rate variation increased by US$77.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) favorable foreign exchange impacts on U.S. dollar-denominated financial liabilities of the Brazilian entities, resulting from the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, and (ii) the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange impacts on intercompany balances.

The Brazilian statutory corporate tax rate for Brazilian income tax and social contribution is 34%. However, our effective tax rate may change in each period based on fluctuations in the taxable income generated by each of our foreign subsidiaries, different tax rates in countries where we operate and the tax credits generated by tax payments made by foreign subsidiaries, which can be used to offset taxes that would be paid in Brazil.
The nature and timing of the permanent differences that arise during the period also affect our effective tax rate. These permanent differences generally refer to subsidies made for investments in Brazil and abroad, differences in tax rates on foreign subsidiaries, unrecognized deferred taxes in the current year, income from untaxed interest on foreign subsidiaries and the impact of taxation on companies with dual jurisdiction.
Effective income tax rate increased by 87.5 p.p. to a credit of 67.9% in relation to the profit before taxes in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to an expense of 19.6% in relation to the profit before taxes in the same period in 2025.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the operations of PPC (United States) and Seara (Brazil) reported slight growth in profit, while JBS Australia and JBS USA Pork reported significant profits, with the corresponding payment of taxes in their respective jurisdictions. Conversely, the consolidated results were also impacted by significant losses incurred by JBS Beef North America (operations in the United States, Mexico and Canada), as well as by the tax loss recorded by JBS S.A. This combination of factors reduced total taxable income in Brazil and, at the same time, increased the significance of foreign tax credits available for utilization.
In this context, we recognized an income tax credit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by the positive impact of utilizing these foreign tax credits mentioned above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial condition and liquidity is and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including:
• our ability to generate cash flows from operations;
• the level of our outstanding indebtedness and the interest we are obligated to pay on our indebtedness, which affects our net financial results;
• prevailing domestic and international interest rates, which affect our debt service requirements;
• our ability to continue to borrow funds from financial institutions or to access the capital markets;
68
Table of Contents
• our working capital needs, based on our growth plans;
• our capital expenditure requirements, which consist primarily of purchasing property, plant and equipment; and
• strategic investments and acquisitions.
Our principal cash requirements consist of the following:
• the purchase of raw materials, most of which represents the purchase of feed ingredients for the production of chicken and hogs and the purchase of livestock for our processing operations;
• our working capital requirements;
• the servicing of our indebtedness;
• capital expenditures related mainly to our purchases of property, plant and equipment;
• strategic investments, and acquisitions;
• dividends and other distributions; and
• taxes in connection with our operations.
Our main sources of liquidity consist of the following:
• cash flows from operating activities; and
• short-term and long-term borrowings.
For the next 12 months, we believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and remaining availability under credit lines from commercial banks will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating requirements, make scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding debt and fund our capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 2026, our total outstanding indebtedness was US$22,650.7 million, consisting of US$1,334.9 million of current loans and financing and US$21,315.8 million of non-current loans and financing, representing 61.6% of our total liabilities, which totaled US$36,779.3 million as of June 30, 2026.
We believe we have a strong liquidity position and a well-staggered debt maturity profile. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents, margin cash and long-term investments of US$3,686.6 million. In addition, as of the same date, we are permitted to borrow up to US$3.4 billion under our revolving credit facilities. The chart below shows our debt amortization schedule, together with our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 and our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2026.

Debt Amortization Schedule
( in US$ millions )
(*) The amount of US$3,688 million represents the total of cash and cash equivalents, margin cash and long-term investments.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, margin cash and long-term investments balance together with our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2026 should be sufficient to meet our outstanding debt requirements through mid-2033. However, this balance and our ability to continue to generate sufficient cash is subject to certain general economic, financial, industry, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. For more information, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in our Form 20-F.

Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities may vary from time to time according to the fluctuation of sales revenues, cost of sales, operating expenses, changes in operating activities, interest paid and received and income tax paid.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 was US$62.8 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of US$43.1 million in the same period in 2025, an increase of US$105.9 million. This increase was primarily due to:
• an increase in cash generation from trade accounts receivable of US$523.5 million, to US$683.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from US$160.1 million in the same period in 2025; and

Partially offset by:
• a decrease in the adjustments to reconcile net income to cash generated from operating activities of US$497.5 million, to US$2,712.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from US$3,209.7 million in the same period in 2025; and
• a decrease in recoverable taxes of US$113.2 million, to a cash consumption of US$19.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from a cash generated of US$93.8 million in the same period in 2025.
Investing Activities
Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities is primarily related to: (1) our acquisition of subsidiaries minus net cash at the time of acquisition; (2) our acquisition of property, plant and equipment; (3) our acquisition of intangible assets; and (4) our receipt of payment from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities totaled US$1,128.2 million, of which, we highlight, (1) US$1,178.9 million was cash used in purchases of property, plant and equipment; which was partially offset by (2) US$48.1 million in cash provided by sales of property, plant and equipment and (3) US$26.4 million in cash provided by disposals of investments in joint ventures.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities totaled US$837.6 million, of which, we highlight, (1) US$714.1 million was cash used in purchases of property, plant and equipment, and (2) US$165.3 million was cash used in additions to investments in joint ventures and subsidiaries; which was partially offset by US$35.6 million in cash provided by sales of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities
Cash flow provided by financing activities includes primarily proceeds from new loans and financing and derivatives settled in cash. Cash flow used in financing activities includes primarily principal payments on loans and financing, payments related to derivatives settled in cash, payments for purchase of treasury shares and payments of dividends.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities totaled US$141.4 million, of which, we highlight, (1) US$2,700.7 million was cash used in payments of loans and financing, (2) US$1,039.1 million was dividend payments and (3) US$220.8 million was cash used in payments of leasing contracts; which was partially offset by US$3,865.5 million in cash proceeds from loans and financing.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities totaled US$2,334.8 million, of which, we highlight, (1) US$4,676.4 million was cash used in payments of loans and financings; (2) US$1,573.9 million was dividend payments; (3) US$266.4 million was dividends paid to non-controlling interest and (4) US$215.1 million was payments of leasing contracts; which was partially offset by US$4,494.2 million in cash proceeds from loans and financing.
Indebtedness and Financing Strategy
As of June 30, 2026, our total outstanding indebtedness was US$22,650.7 million, consisting of US$1,334.9 million of current loans and financing and US$21,315.8 million of non-current loans and financing, representing 61.6% of our total liabilities, which totaled US$36,779.3 million as of June 30, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025, our total outstanding indebtedness was US$21,090.6 million, consisting of US$833.1 million of current loans and financing and US$20,257.5 million of non-current loans and financing, representing 59.2% of our total liabilities, which totaled US$35,633.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
Our financing strategy has been and will be, over the next several years, to: (1) extend the average maturity of our outstanding indebtedness, including by refinancing short-term debt through longer-term borrowings and issuing longer-term debt securities, in order to increase our liquidity levels and improve our strategic, financial and operational flexibility;
71
Table of Contents
and (2) reduce our financing costs by accessing lower-cost sources of finance, including through the capital markets and export finance.
Based on the profile of our indebtedness as of December 31, 2025 and our track record, we believe we will continue to be able to raise funds in U.S. dollars, euros and reais to meet our financial obligations. We further believe that our capital expenditures during recent years, in addition to capital expenditures that we intend to make in the near future, will allow us to increase our ability to generate cash, to strengthen our credit ratios and to enhance our capacity to meet our financial obligations.
We maintain lines of credit with various financial institutions to finance working capital requirements, and we believe we will continue to be able to obtain additional credit to finance our working capital needs based on our past track record and current market conditions.

(1) On November 19, 2025, JBS USA, JBS N.V. and Regions Bank, as trustee, entered into supplemental indentures to each of the respective indentures governing these notes. Pursuant to each supplemental indenture, (1) JBS USA was substituted as a co-issuer by JBS N.V. and JBS N.V. became a co-issuer of these notes and (2) JBS S.A., JBS Global Luxembourg S.à r.l. and JBS Global Meat Holdings Pty Limited were released as parent guarantors of these notes, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable indentures governing these notes. As a result, JBS S.A. was released from its obligations as a guarantor under the indentures, and JBS N.V. became the successor co-issuer under these notes, and has succeeded JBS S.A. as the registrant under these notes. In addition, JBS N.V., together with JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings, became liable for all obligations under the indentures and these notes. Therefore, as of June 30, 2026, the issuers of these notes were JBS N.V., JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings.
(2) These notes were co-issued by JBS N.V., JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings.
(3) These notes were issued by PPC and are guaranteed by Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation of West Virginia, Inc., Gold’n Plump Poultry, LLC, Gold’n Plump Farms, LLC, and JFC LLC.
The indentures governing these notes contain negative covenants that limit JBS N.V. or PPC, as applicable, and their respective significant restricted subsidiaries that guarantee these notes from creating liens on Principal Property (as defined in the applicable indentures governing each series of notes) to secure debt and entering into certain sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the indentures governing these notes restrict JBS N.V.’s or PPC’s, as applicable, ability to merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, including that as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there are no Principal

Properties. For more information about these covenants and the indentures governing each series of these notes, see Exhibits 2.2 through 2.56 to our Form 20-F and Exhibits 4.1 through 4.2 to this Quarterly Report. We are currently in compliance with the covenants under the indentures governing our notes.
In addition, holders of the 5.625% Notes due 2037 and the 6.400% Notes due 2057, co-issued by JBS N.V., JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings, benefit from registration rights set forth in a registration rights agreement entered into by JBS N.V. on April 13, 2026, pursuant to which JBS N.V. agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer within 365 days of entering into such registration rights agreement to allow holders of such series of notes to exchange their notes for the same principal amount of registered exchange notes. For more information about this registration rights agreement, see Exhibit 4.3 to this Quarterly Report.
Sustainability-Linked Bonds
As described above, we have issued three series of fixed-rate sustainability-linked debt securities in the international capital markets, as follows:
• JBS USA’s 3.625% Sustainability-Linked Notes due January 2032 in an aggregate principal amount of US$973.4 million;
• JBS USA’s 3.000% Sustainability-Linked Notes due May 2032 in an aggregate principal amount of US$988.7 million; and
• PPC’s 4.250% Sustainability-Linked Notes due April 2031 in an aggregate principal amount of US$794.1 million.
As further described below, each series of sustainability-linked notes contains certain sustainability performance targets of JBS S.A., JBS USA or PPC that if unsatisfied will result in an increase in the interest rate payable on the respective notes. The applicable sustainability performance targets are specifically tailored to the business, operations and capabilities of JBS S.A., JBS USA and PPC and do not easily lend themselves to benchmarking against sustainability performance targets that may be used by other companies. In connection with these notes, none of JBS S.A., JBS USA or PPC has committed to (i) allocate the net proceeds specifically to projects or business activities meeting sustainability criteria or (ii) be subject to any other limitations or requirements that may be associated with green instruments, social instruments or sustainability instruments or other financial instruments in any particular market.
Furthermore, as there is currently no generally accepted definition (legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what criteria a particular financial instrument must meet to qualify as, “green,” “social,” “sustainable” or “sustainability-linked” (and, in addition, the requirements of any such label may evolve from time to time), no assurance was or could be given to investors in these notes or to any other party by the issuers or the guarantors of the notes or any second party opinion providers or any qualified provider of third-party assurance or attestation services appointed by each company (an “external verifier”) that the notes will meet any or all investor expectations regarding the sustainability performance target qualifying as “green,” “social,” “sustainable” or “sustainability-linked,” or satisfy an investor’s requirements or any future legal, quasi-legal or other standards for investment in assets with sustainability characteristics, or that any adverse social and/or other impacts will not occur in connection with JBS S.A., JBS USA and/or PPC striving to achieve the sustainability performance target or the use of the net proceeds from the offering of notes.
In addition, no assurance or representation was given by the issuers and guarantors of the notes, any second party opinion providers or any external verifier as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any opinion, report or certification of any third party in connection with the offering of the notes or the respective sustainability performance targets to fulfill any green, social, sustainability, sustainability-linked and/or other criteria. Any such opinion, report or certification is not, nor shall it be deemed to be, incorporated in and/or form part of this Quarterly Report.
There can be no assurance of the extent to which JBS S.A., JBS USA and/or PPC will be successful in significantly decreasing their greenhouse gas emissions. Although a failure to achieve the applicable sustainability performance targets will give rise to an upward adjustment of the applicable interest rates, any such failure would not be an event of default under the notes, nor would such failure result in a requirement to redeem or repurchase such securities.

JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility
On August 5, 2022, JBS S.A. and its subsidiaries JBS Investments Luxembourg S.à r.l., Seara Meats B.V. and Seara Alimentos Ltda., as borrowers and guarantors, entered into a US$450.0 million revolving unsecured credit facility (the “JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility”). On December 19, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility, whereby JBS N.V. was included as an additional borrower and guarantor for all purposes under the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility and its ancillary documents.
Any borrowing made by a borrower will be guaranteed by the other three obligors. The capacity of JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility could be increased up to US$500.0 million, with an accordion expansion feature, which was put into effect in November 2024, after obtaining lender commitments. The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility initially matured in August 2025 and included two one-year extensions that were exercised at the borrowers’ option and duly accepted by all counterparties. Pursuant to the terms of the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate under any borrowings accrued at an adjusted secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus applicable margins that were based on

Table of Contents
the corporate rating of JBS S.A. As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility.
The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility contained customary representations, covenants and events of default. The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility contained negative covenants that restrict the borrowers and guarantors thereunder and significant restricted subsidiaries from creating liens on their property or assets to secure debt and entering into certain sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility restricted the borrowers’ and guarantors’ ability to merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets. These covenants were subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. We were in compliance with the covenants under the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2026. The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility and all commitments thereunder were terminated effective on July 31, 2026.
JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility
On November 1, 2022, JBS USA and other JBS group companies, as borrowers, entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “2021 JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”), as administrative agent, and the lender parties thereto. The 2021 JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility provided for a revolving credit commitment in an amount up to US$1,500.0 million with maturity in 2027, with two one-year extension options at each lender’s discretion. As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit and available borrowings under the revolving credit commitment of US$0.2 million and US$1,499.8 million, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2026.
On July 31, 2026 (the “Restatement Agreement Effective Date”), JBS N.V., JBS USA Food Company Holdings, JBS USA Foods Group Holdings, JBS Australia Pty Limited, JBS Food Canada ULC, JBS S.A. and Seara, as borrowers, entered into a Sixth Amendment to the JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with BMO, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Sixth Amendment amended and restated the 2021 JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement (as amended and restated by the Sixth Amendment, the “Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement”). The 2021 JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement and all commitments thereunder were terminated effective upon the Restatement Agreement Effective Date.
The Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal commitment amount of up to US$2.65 billion with maturity in 2031. The Revolving Facility is available in U.S. dollars and in certain other approved currencies. Extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Interest on borrowings under the Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement will accrue and be payable, at the applicable borrower’s option, at an annual rate equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) or, in the case of borrowings in approved foreign currencies, the applicable benchmark rate for such currency plus applicable margins that are based on the corporate credit or family rating of JBS N.V.
Guarantors
Subject to the Collateral Cure described below, the obligations under the Revolving Facility are guaranteed by the Company and, depending on the applicable borrower, JBS USA Food Company Holdings and JBS USA Foods Group Holdings, Inc.
Covenants and Events of Default
The Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for senior unsecured investment grade facilities, including restrictions on the incurrence of priority debt; the granting of liens; fundamental changes; sale-leaseback transactions; dispositions of all or substantially all assets; changes in line of business; and changes in fiscal year, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement also requires the borrowers to maintain a minimum consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Financial Maintenance Covenant”), tested as of the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026.
78
Table of Contents
The Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement contains events of default customary for facilities of this type, including: non-payment of principal when due; non-payment of interest or other amounts after a five business day grace period; violation of covenants (subject to applicable grace periods); material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross payment default and cross-acceleration with respect to certain indebtedness; bankruptcy or other insolvency events; certain monetary judgments; ERISA events; and change of control.
Collateral Cure
Substantially consistent with the 2021 JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement, if the borrowers are not in compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the end of any fiscal quarter, the borrowers must within a specified time period, provide a collateral cure (the “Collateral Cure”), which includes (i) causing certain affiliates to provide guarantees of the obligations under the Amended JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility Agreement and (ii) causing certain U.S. borrowers and subsidiary guarantors to grant perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all of their U.S. assets, subject to customary exceptions. Upon the occurrence of a Collateral Cure, availability under the Revolving Facility will be subject to a U.S. asset-based borrowing base, and the applicable interest rate margins will increase.
JBS USA Commercial Paper Program
On December 10, 2024, JBS USA launched its commercial paper program. The program allowed JBS USA, JBS USA Food Company and JBS USA Foods Group Holdings to issue up to US$1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of short-term, unsecured notes without registration under the Securities Act.
On December 22, 2025, the issuers notified the other parties of the termination of the existing commercial paper program. Concurrently, JBS N.V., JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings launched a new program, allowing the issuance of up to US$1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of short-term, unsecured notes without registration under the Securities Act. As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the new commercial paper program.
PPC U.S. Credit Facility
On October 4, 2023, PPC and certain of PPC’s subsidiaries entered into a Revolving Syndicated Facility Agreement (the “PPC U.S. Credit Facility”) with CoBank, ACB as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto. The PPC U.S. Credit Facility provides for a revolving loan commitment of up to US$850.0 million with a maturity on October 4, 2028. The PPC U.S. Credit Facility is unsecured and will be used for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the PPC U.S. Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to either the SOFR or the prime rate plus applicable margins based on PPC’s credit ratings. As of June 30, 2026, PPC had outstanding letters of credit and available borrowings under the PPC U.S. Credit Facility of US$3.8 million and US$846.2 million, respectively, and there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.
The PPC U.S. Credit Facility is not guaranteed by any of PPC’s subsidiaries. Following the PPC Collateral Cure (as defined below), each wholly-owned subsidiary of each borrower is required to become a guarantor (other than certain excluded subsidiaries that are not required to become a guarantor). The PPC U.S. Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. The PPC U.S. Credit Facility imposes certain limitations and restrictions on PPC and its restricted subsidiaries, including limitations on (1) liens, (2) indebtedness, (3) sales and other dispositions of assets, (4) dividends, distributions, and other payments in respect of equity interest, (5) investments, and (6) voluntary prepayments, redemptions or repurchases of junior debt, in each case, subject to certain exceptions which can be material and certain of such clauses only apply to PPC upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. In addition, the PPC U.S. Credit Facility and subject to the PPC Collateral Cure, includes a financial maintenance covenant that requires PPC not to permit its interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.50:1.00, which shall be tested at the end of each fiscal quarter of PPC (the “PPC Financial Maintenance Covenant”).
After the end of any fiscal quarter, PPC may give notice that they will not be in compliance with the PPC Financial Maintenance Covenant and instead may elect to cause the borrowers and each subsidiary guarantor to provide security interests in the collateral that secured PPC’s prior secured credit facility (the “PPC Collateral Cure”). From and after the date of the PPC Collateral Cure, the PPC Financial Maintenance Covenant will no longer be in effect and availability under the PPC U.S. Credit Facility will be limited and subject to collateral coverage utilizing a 75% advance rate on U.S.

Agribusiness Credit Receivable Certificates (Certificados de Recebíveis do Agronegócio)
JBS S.A.
From October 2022 through May 2024, JBS S.A. issued several series of non-convertible unsecured debentures through private placements in Brazil, with maturities ranging from 2027 until 2044. These debentures are denominated in Brazilian reais and bear interest at various rates. A larger part of these debentures have their principal amount adjusted according to the Brazilian inflation – IPCA (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), with an annual average interest rate of 6.4% as of June 30, 2026, while the remaining part is indexed to the U.S. dollar plus an annual average interest rate of 5.8% as of June 30, 2026. These debentures underlie the securitization of agribusiness receivables in Brazil through the issuance of agribusiness receivables certificates ( Certificados de Recebíveis do Agronegócio ) (“CRAs”). The net proceeds from the issuances of these debentures have been used primarily to acquire cattle, natural products and other inputs necessary for the processing or industrialization of bovine cattle, including the slaughter, preparation of by-products, and the manufacturing of meat products from the primary slaughter process mentioned above, as well as the sale of the resulting products and by-products of such process, including exportation, intermediation, storage, and transportation of the products, by-products, and derivatives. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of these CRAs was US$1.1 billion.
Seara
From October 2024 through June 2026, several series of CRAs representing rural financial product notes ( Cédulas de Produto Rural Financeiras – CPR-Financeiras ) issued by Seara and guaranteed by JBS S.A. were issued, with maturities ranging from 2029 until 2065. These rural financial product notes are denominated in Brazilian reais and bear interest at various rates. A larger part of these rural financial product notes have their principal amount adjusted according to the Brazilian inflation – IPCA (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), with an annual average interest rate of 7.5% as of June 30, 2026, while a small portion is indexed to the Brazilian Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI Rate”), with an annual interest rate of 100% of the CDI Rate. The remaining part is indexed to the U.S. dollar plus an annual average interest rate of 5.4% as of June 30, 2026. Seara used the net proceeds from the issuances of the rural financial product notes primarily to acquire raw materials, namely corn in natura, in the ordinary course of its business. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of these CRAs was US$1.4 billion. The agreements governing these CRAs contain customary covenants and events of default; however, they do not include any financial covenants.

Investments in cultivated protein are central to our strategic vision. In 2021, we entered the cultured protein market with the acquisition of BioTech Foods in Spain. Additionally, the upcoming JBS Biotech Innovation Centre in Santa Catarina will be Brazil's largest research facility dedicated to food biotechnology. Our expansion into plant-based proteins is exemplified by Seara’s Incrível and the acquisition of Vivera Topholding BV, which produces and sells plant-based protein products in Europe.
Initiatives such as Seara’s Innovation Hub and Friboi’s Meat Technology and Study Center (Cetec) reflect our commitment to product quality and innovation. Through in-depth analysis of the entire production chain and continuous research, we adapt to shifting consumer expectations. In partnership with Colorado State University, we established the JBS Global Food Innovation Center, advancing food safety, meat sciences, and animal welfare practices. Furthermore, JBS USA makes significant investments in technology and innovation to uphold world-class quality standards, exemplified by the transition to zero-trim beef products. Meanwhile, Pilgrim’s Europe integrates advanced technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, to enhance operational efficiencies and predictive maintenance.
Trend Information
The following list sets forth, in our view, the most important trends, uncertainties and events that are reasonably likely to continue to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity and capital resources, or that may cause reported financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition:
• global economic conditions;
• Brazilian economic environment;
• effect of level of indebtedness and interest rates;
81
Table of Contents
• effect of the levels of sales of fresh and processed products in the domestic market on our results of operations;
• effect of the levels of exports of fresh and processed products on our results of operations;
• fluctuations in domestic market prices of fresh and processed products can significantly affect our operating revenues;
• effects of fluctuations in export prices of fresh and processed products on operating revenues;
• effects of the variation of prices for the purchase of raw materials on our costs of goods sold; and
• effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
For more information, see “— Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” above.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The presentation of our financial position and results of operation in accordance with IFRS – Accounting Standards, and the disclosures related to judgments and estimates can be found in note 2.6 to our audited financial statements, which are included in our Form 20-F.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Certain new and amended accounting standards and interpretations have been adopted by us and are described in note 2.1 to our unaudited interim financial statements, which are included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, and note 2.5 to our audited financial statements, which are included in our Form 20-F.
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
We have disclosed Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measure of our segments performance by our management and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance in accordance with IFRS – Accounting Standards. You should rely on non-GAAP financial measures in a supplemental manner only in making your investment decision. There is no standard definition of non-GAAP financial measures, and JBS’s definitions may not be comparable to those used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by making the following adjustments to our net income, as further described below: exclusion of current and deferred income taxes; exclusion of share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax; exclusion of net finance expense; exclusion of depreciation and amortization expenses; exclusion of antitrust agreements expenses; exclusion of donations and social programs expenses; exclusion of impairment of assets expenses; exclusion of restructuring expenses; exclusion of fiscal payments and installments; exclusion of Rio Grande do Sul claim losses; exclusion of extemporaneous litigation expenses; exclusion of reversal of tax credits; exclusion of avian influenza impacts; exclusion of certain tax assessment notice; exclusion of closure of plants expenses; and exclusion of certain other operating income (expense), net.
The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
82
Table of Contents
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; and
• Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments that represent cash expenses or that represent non-cash charges that may relate to future cash expenses, and some of these expenses are of a type that are expected to be incurred in the future, although the amount of any such future charge cannot be predicted.
Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to our net income (loss) as follows:

Supplemental Financial and Non-Financial Information about the Obligors of the JBS USA Registered Notes
Reference is made to the following 15 series of notes (collectively, the “JBS USA Registered Notes”) issued by JBS N.V., JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings (collectively, the “Co-Issuers” or “Obligors”): (i) 2.500% Senior Notes due 2027; (ii) 3.000% Senior Notes due 2029; (iii) 3.750% Senior Notes due 2031; (iv) 3.625% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2032; (v) 3.000% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2032; (vi) 5.750% Senior Notes due 2033; (vii) 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034; (viii) 5.950% Senior Notes due 2035; (ix) 5.500% Senior Notes due 2036; (x) 4.375% Senior Notes due 2052; (xi) 6.500% Senior Notes due 2052; (xii) 7.250% Senior Notes due 2053; (xiii) 6.375% Senior Notes due 2055; (xiv) 6.250% Senior Notes due 2056; and (xv) 6.375% Senior Notes due 2066.
JBS N.V. indirectly owns 100% of each of JBS USA Foods Group Holdings and JBS USA Food Company Holdings, which are holding subsidiaries of JBS N.V. with no operations of their own or assets (other than the equity interests of their respective direct subsidiaries). The Obligors’ ability to service their debt obligations, including the JBS USA Registered Notes, is dependent upon the earnings of their respective subsidiaries and such subsidiaries’ ability to distribute those earnings as dividends, loans or other payments to such Obligors. Under the terms of the indentures pursuant to which the JBS USA Registered Notes were issued, principal, accrued and unpaid interest and certain other obligations are due under the JBS USA Registered Notes in accordance with each such indenture. For more information about the terms and conditions of the JBS USA Registered Notes, see “ Item 12. Description of Securities Other Than Equity Securities—A. Debt Securities—Description of the JBS USA Registered Notes .” The JBS USA Registered Notes are senior unsecured

obligations and are effectively subordinated to the Obligors’ secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. The JBS USA Registered Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities, including trade payables, of each of JBS N.V.’s subsidiaries (other than the other Co-Issuers). Moreover, under the laws of the jurisdictions of organization of the Obligors, obligations under the JBS USA Registered Notes are subordinated to certain statutory preferences. In the event of any liquidation, bankruptcy, or judicial reorganization of such entities, such statutory preferences, including motions for restitution, post-petition claims, claims for salaries, wages, social security, taxes and court fees and expenses and claims secured by collateral, among others, will have preference and priority over any other claims, including any claims in respect of the Obligors under the JBS USA Registered Notes. For more information about these and other the factors that may affect payments to holders of the JBS USA Registered Notes, see “ Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Debt and the JBS USA Registered Notes ” in our Form 20-F.
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X subsidiary issuers are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of each Co-Issuer (other than JBS N.V.) have not been presented.
Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, except as described below, we have excluded the summarized financial information for the Co-Issuers (other than JBS N.V.) because, except for JBS N.V., the combined Co-Issuers, excluding investments in subsidiaries that are not issuers, have no material assets, liabilities or results of operations, and management believes such summarized financial information would not provide incremental value to investors.
Summarized financial information is presented below for JBS N.V., as parent company and the only Co-Issuer with material operations, on a stand-alone basis and does not include investments in and equity in the earnings of non-obligor subsidiaries. Transactions with and balances to/from non-obligor subsidiaries and related parties have been presented separately.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks arising from our normal business activities. These market risks, which are beyond our control, primarily involve the possibility that changes in interest rates, inflation, exchange rates and commodity prices will adversely affect the value of our financial assets and liabilities or future cash flows and earnings.
Our risk management strategy is designed to mitigate the financial impact derived from our exposure to market risks, and accordingly, we have used and may continue to use interest rate, exchange rates and commodity derivative instruments, cash and receivables to mitigate these market risks. Our hedging activities are governed by a financial risk management department, which follows corporate governance standards and guidelines for our company that are established by our risk management committee and approved by our board of directors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2026, of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026 . Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026 were not effective because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. For additional information on this material weakness, see “Item 15. Controls and Procedures—B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in our Form 20-F.
Notwithstanding the material weakness mentioned above, our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has concluded that the our unaudited interim financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report , present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in accordance with the IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weakness and the remediation plan described in “ Item 15. Controls and Procedures—B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting ” in our Form 20-F , there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
