Meanwhile, net revenue decreased by 4.2% to R$2.844 billion (around US$509 million).

The report highlights the company's decision to boost full-price sales, while reducing discounts, as a key factor in its financial performance. Azzas is also set to separate into two independent companies, Arezzo&Co and Grupo SOMA, following a plan approved by Brazil's competition authority CADE.",
