In 1Q15, net operating revenue, including construction revenue, reached R$ 2.5 billion; an 11.6% decrease compared to 1Q14.

Costs and expenses, including construction costs, totaled R$ 1.4 billion, down by 32.9% compared to R$ 2.0 billion recorded in 1Q14. Excluding the R$ 696.3 million reimbursement from the São Paulo state government, costs and expenses increased R$ 25.8 million or 1.3%.

Adjusted EBIT, in the amount of R$ 1.1 billion, grew 46.1% from R$ 755.6 million recorded in the same quarter of the previous year.

Adjusted EBITDA, in the amount of R$ 1.4 billion, increased 33.6% from R$ 1.0 billion recorded in 1Q14.

The adjusted EBITDA margin was 55.0% in 1Q15, versus 36.4% in 1Q14. Excluding construction revenues and construction costs, the adjusted EBITDA margin was 71.6% in 1Q15 (44.5% in 1Q14).

Net income totaled R$ 318.2 million, 33.4% lower than R$ 477.6 million recorded in 1Q14.

 

2. Gross operating revenue

Gross operating revenue from water and sewage, not including construction revenue, totaled R$ 2.0 billion, a drop of R$ 440.0 million or 18.0%, when compared to the R$ 2.4 billion recorded in 1Q14.

The main factors that led to this variation were:

·         Bonus granted within the Water Consumption Reduction Incentive Program, with a R$ 211.2 million impact in 1Q15, versus the R$ 10.7 million recorded in 1Q14; and

 

 

Page 2 of 12


 
 

 

 

·         Decrease of 11.7% in the Company’s total billed volume (13.2% in water and 9.7% in sewage).

 

The decline in gross operating revenue was mitigated by the application of the 6.5% tariff increase since December 2014 and the effect of the contingency tariff, totaling R$ 79.3 million.

 

3. Construction revenue

Construction revenue increased R$ 57.2 million or 10.8%, when compared to 1Q14. The variation was mainly due to higher investments in 1Q15.

5. Costs, administrative and selling expenses

In 1Q15, costs, administrative and selling expenses, dropped 32.9% (R$ 670.5 million). Excluding construction costs, total costs and expenses dropped 47.9%. As a percentage of net revenue, cost and expenses was 55.3% in 1Q15 and 72.9% in 1Q14.

The R$ 670.5 million decline in costs and expenses and their reduced share in net revenue were mainly caused by the São Paulo state government reimbursement.

5.1. Payroll and benefits

 

In 1Q15 payroll and benefits grew R$ 37.8 million or 7.6%, due to the following:

 

·         R$ 19.8 million increase due to the 6.8% increase in average wages since May 2014 and the changes from the career and wage plan;

·         $ 8.8 million upturn in the provision for the Pension Plan, arising from changes in actuarial assumptions;

·         R$ 4.9 million increase in overtime pay, mainly due to wage adjustment in the period, and the higher number of hours worked, as a result of the management and intensification of water systems maintenance; and

·         R$ 2.1 million, due to the 7.1% adjustment in healthcare expenses since July 2014.

 

5.2. Treatment supplies

 

In 1Q15, expenses with treatment supplies increased R$ 2.6 million or 3.7%, from R$ 69.7 million to R$ 72.3 million, chiefly due to the beginning of the use of products that reduce the algae bloom in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region’s water sources since April 2014, with a R$ 3.2 million impact.

 

5.3. Services

 

Services expenses, in the amount of R$ 295.9 million, dropped R$ 18.8 million or 6.0%, in comparison to the R$ 314.7 million in 1Q14. The main factors were:

·         Lower estimate of service expenses, totaling R$ 22.2 million, especially due to the recognition, in 1Q14, of expenses with legal services related to the agreement for the resumption of operations in the city of Diadema; and

·         R$ 7.0 million decrease in advertising campaigns.

On the other hand, the following increases occurred:

 

 

 

Page 4 of 12


 
 

 

 

·         Hiring of services in the amount of R$ 7.4 million, mainly due to the beginning of operations in the municipality of Diadema, in March of 2014, in the amount of R$ 6.4 million; and

·         Maintenance of domestic sewage connections in several areas of the São Paulo metropolitan region, totaling R$ 4.7 million.

 

5.4. Electric power

 

Electric power expenses totaled R$ 159.1 million, an increase of R$ 19.1 million or 13.6% in comparison to the R$ 140.0 million in 1Q14, chiefly due to the average increase of 11.7% in free market tariffs and of 31.6% in regulated market tariffs.

These increases were partially offset by the average decrease of 13.3% of the Company’s total electric power consumption in 1Q15.


5.5. General expenses

 

General expenses dropped R$ 98.3 million or 64.4%, totaling R$ 54.4 million, versus the R$ 152.7 million recorded in 1Q14 mainly due to:

·         R$ 77.4 million decrease in the provision for lawsuits; and

·         Lower provision for the Municipal Fund for Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure, in the amount of R$ 22.6 million, as a result of the decrease in revenues with the municipality of São Paulo.

 

5.6. São Paulo state government reimbursement

 

In 1Q15, the Company entered into an agreement with the São Paulo state government to receive the undisputed amount, related to the state’s debt with the Company, for the payment of the benefits to former employees (G0) dealt with by state Law 4,819, of August 26, 1958, that generated a credit in the result in the amount of R$696.3 million.

 

 

5.7. Depreciation and amortization

 

R$ 6.9 million decrease or 2.7%, reaching R$ 253.3 million in comparison to the R$ 260.2 million recorded in 1Q14, largely due to higher provision for the amortization related to the transfer of works held in 1Q14.

 

 

5.8. Credit write-offs

 

Credit write-offs increased R$ 32.6 million, especially due to the complement of the provision related to the breach of agreements with municipal clients in 1Q15.

 

 

6. Other operating revenues and expenses, net

 

Other operating revenues/expenses, net, recorded a R$ 75.2 million positive variation.

 

6.1. Other operating revenues

 

An increase of R$ 12.8 million in other operating revenues, especially through the sale of surplus electricity, totaling R$ 21.8 million, partially offset by the decline in revenue from Rational Use of Water Program (PURA), totaling R$ 8.8 million.

 

6.2. Other operating expenses

 

Recorded a R$ 62.4 million decrease, mainly due to:

 

 

 

Page 5 of 12


 
 

 

 

·         Provision for the write-off of construction works and projects, in 1Q14, in the amount of R$ 31.4 million, non-recurring;

·         Lower provision for the write-off of hydrometers, resulting in a R$ 20.2 million drop; and

·         Provision for losses with contractual payments, as a result of the agreement with the municipality of Diadema, in 1Q14, totaling R$ 13.0 million.

7.1.1. Financial expenses

 

Financial expenses grew R$ 0.2 million. The main reasons were:

 

·         R$ 4.5 million increase in interest and charges on domestic loans and financing, mainly due to the higher interest on debentures, due to the 19th debenture issue in June 2014;

·         R$ 6.0 million increase in interest and charges on international loans and financing, due to the US dollar and Yen appreciation versus the Brazilian Real in 1Q15 (20.8% and 20.3%, respectively), when compared to the depreciation recorded in 1Q14 (-3.4% and -1.6%, respectively); and

·         R$ 10.3 million decrease in other financial expenses, largely due to the lower provision for financial charges of lawsuits.

 

7.1.2. Financial revenues

 

Financial revenues increased R$ 2.0 million or 2.8%, due to interest over instalment agreement held in the period.

7.2.1. Monetary/exchange rate variation on liabilities

 

The effect on the monetary/currency exchange variation on liabilities in 1Q15 was R$ 1,021.0 million, higher than in 1Q14, especially due to:

 

·         An increase of R$ 23.2 million in expenses with monetary variation on domestic loans and financing, chiefly due to the increase in the IPCA in 1Q15 (3.8%) compared to the decrease recorded in 1Q14 (-2.2%); and

·         An upturn of R$ 1,001.5 million in expenses with exchange variation on loans and financing, due to the appreciation of the US dollar and the Yen versus the Brazilian Real in 1Q15 (20.8% and 20.3%, respectively), when compared to the depreciation recorded in 1Q14 (-3.4% and -1.6%, respectively).

 

7.2.2. Monetary/Exchange rate variation on assets

 

R$ 5.9 million increase, mainly due to the monetary updates on judicial deposits.


8. Income tax and social contribution

In 1Q15, the Company recorded tax losses of R$ 548.0 million, mainly due to the permanent difference arising from the GESP agreement. These tax losses resulted in the recognition of deferred income tax/social contribution in the amount of R$ 186.3 million.

 

9. Indicators



 

9.1. Operating

 

As a result of the water crisis, there was a substantial reduction in the water production volume, down by 21.2%.

 

There was also a substantial decline in the index that measures water losses per connection per day (IPDT) which came to 290 liters/connection x day versus 366 liters/connection x day on the same period last year.


This reduction was the result not only of loss control initiatives, but also of the water crisis and the consequent need to reduce the network pressure as a demand management mechanism.
