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

·         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.

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;

·         R$ 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:

·         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:

 

·         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.

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

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 variation of IPCA in 1Q15 (3.8%) compared to the variation 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.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

 

1                    Operations

 

Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo ("SABESP" or the "Company") is a mixed-capital company headquartered in São Paulo, at Rua Costa Carvalho, 300, CEP 05429-900, controlled by the São Paulo State Government. The Company is engaged in the provision of basic and environmental sanitation services in the State of São Paulo, as well as it supplies treated water and sewage services on a wholesale basis.

 

In addition to providing basic sanitation services in the State of São Paulo, SABESP may perform these activities in other states and countries, and can operate in drainage, urban cleaning, solid waste handling and energy markets. The objective set in the new vision of SABESP is to be recognized as the company that ensured universal access to water and sewage services in its marketplace, in a sustainable and competitive manner, with excellence in customer service.

 

On March 31, 2015, the Company operated water and sewage services in 364 municipalities of the State of São Paulo. Most of these municipalities operations are based on 30-year concession, program and services contracts. The Company has two partial contracts with the municipality of Mogi das Cruzes, however, since most of municipality is serviced by wholesale, it was not included in the 364 municipalities. On March 31, 2015, the Company had 366 contracts.

 

SABESP is not temporarily operating in some municipalities due to judicial orders. The lawsuits in progress refer to Álvares Florence, Cajobi, Embaúba, Iperó and Macatuba, and the carrying amount of these municipalities' intangible assets was R$11,328 on March 31, 2015 (R$11,328 on December 31, 2014).

 

As of March 31, 2015, 55 concession agreements had expired and are being negotiated. From March 31, 2015 to 2030, 37 concession agreements will expire. Management believes that concession agreements expired and not yet renewed will result in new contracts, disregarding the risk of discontinuity in the provision of municipal water supply and sewage services. By March 31, 2015, 274 program and services contracts were signed (274 contracts on December 31, 2014).

 

On March 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the underlying assets used in the 55 concessions of the municipalities under negotiation totaled R$6,345,036, accounting for 24.12% of the total, and the related gross revenue for the three-month period then ended totaled R$494,313, accounting for 19.06% of the total.

 

The Company's operations are concentrated in the municipality of São Paulo, which represents 46.75% of the gross revenues on March 31, 2015 (50.29% on March 31, 2014) and 42.37% of intangible assets (42.29% on December 31, 2014).

 

On June 23, 2010, the State of São Paulo, the Municipality of São Paulo, the Company and the regulatory agency “Sanitation and Energy Regulatory Agency – ARSESP” signed an agreement to share the responsibility for water supply and sewage services to the Municipality of São Paulo based on a 30-year concession agreement. This agreement is extendable for another 30 years, pursuant to the law. This agreement sets forth SABESP as the exclusive service provider and designates ARSESP as regulator, establishing prices, controlling and monitoring services.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 
 

 

Also, on June 23, 2010, the State of São Paulo, the city of São Paulo and SABESP signed the “Public service provision agreement of water supply and sewage services”, a 30-year concession agreement which is extendable for another 30 years. This agreement involves the following activities:

 

i. protection of the sources of water in collaboration with other agencies of the State and the City;

ii. capture, transport and treat of water;

iii. collect, transport, treatment and final dispose of  sanitary sewage; and

iv. adoption of other actions of basic and environmental sanitation.

 

In the municipality of Santos, in the Santos coast region, which has a significant population, the Company operates under an authorization by public deed, a situation similar to other municipalities in that region and in the Ribeira valley, where the Company started to operate after the merger of the companies that formed it. As of March 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the municipality of Santos’ intangible assets was R$225,256 (R$205,261 on December 31, 2014) and gross revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 was R$64,400 (R$63,407 on March 31, 2014).

 

Article 58 of Law 11,445/07 determines that precarious and overdue concessions, as well as those effective for an undetermined period of time, including those that do not have an instrument formalizing them, will be valid until December 31, 2010. However, Article 2 of Law 12,693 of July 24, 2012 allows program agreements to be executed until December 31, 2016.

 

The Company’s Management understands that the concession agreements not yet renewed are valid and will be governed by Laws 8,987/95 and 11,445/07, including those municipalities served without an agreement.

 

Public deeds are valid and governed by the Brazilian Civil Code.

 

 

The Company's shares have been listed in the Novo Mercado (New Market) segment of BM&FBovespa under the ticker symbol SBSP3 since April 2002 and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) Level III, under the SBS code, since May 2002. In 2007, SABESP adhered to the Corporate Sustainability Index, or ISE of BM&FBovespa, which reflects the high level of commitment with sustainable development and social practices.

 

Since 2008, the Company has been setting up partnerships with other companies, which resulted in the following companies: Sesamm, Águas de Andradina, Saneaqua Mairinque, Aquapolo Ambiental, Águas de Castilho and Attend Ambiental. Although SABESP has no majority interest in the capital stock of these companies, the shareholders’ agreements provide for the power of veto and casting vote in certain issues jointly with associates, indicating the shared control in the management of investees.

 

Water shortage  - SABESP’s operations have been influenced by the lowest rainfall and inflow never seen in 84 years at the reservoirs composing the Cantareira System. During the rainy season, from October 2014 to January 2015, rainfall remained below average, despite above average from February to March 2015. We expected the water volume stored at the Cantareira System to recover, however, as the levels were already low due to the lack of rainfall during Summer in 2013 and 2014, rainfall index in the region, during the rainy season from October 2014 to March 2015, was not sufficient to recover the reservoirs, whose levels are below than the one seen in the historical series. Under usual conditions, this system is liable for the direct supply of approximately 8.8 million people. To face this situation and ensure that the water supply is not interrupted, Sabesp has been adopting the following measures:

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 
 

 

 

·         Using pumps to remove water below the catchment level of the Cantareira System, the so-called “technical reserve”, which had never been used before to supply the population;

·         Offering discounts (bonus) to consumers, whose volume consumed is below the average stipulated;

·         Using water from other producing systems to serve consumers previously supplied by the Cantareira System;

·         Intensifying the advertising campaigns towards the rational use of water;

·         Reducing pressure in the distribution network, in order to prevent water losses;

·         Reducing the water volume sold to municipalities which operate their own distribution networks;

·         Making investments earlier than the planned time to expand water safety.

 

The water reservation volume at reservoirs relies on several factors, such as levels of rain, temperature and atmospheric humidity, as well as the type and humidity of soil in water sources regions.

 

This scenario of water shortage in 2014 and its persistence in 2015 also impacted the Company financially. As a result, since 2014 up to date, the Company has taken decisions to minimize these effects, including rearrangement of investments, expense budget reduction, negotiation of overdue credits (mainly with the São Paulo State Government and municipalities served on a wholesale basis), implementation of contingency tariff, request for extraordinary tariff revision (see Note 30) and other actions.

 

The Company’s Management expects the funds available in cash equivalents on March 31, 2015, totaling R$1,737,971, the operating cash generation estimated for 2015 and the lines of credit available for investments are sufficient to meet its short-term liabilities and not compromise the actions required to overcome the water shortage, thus preserving our consumers’ supply.

 

For other disclosures on the water shortage effect on revenues, see Note 24 revenues.

The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2015.

2                   Basis of preparation and presentation of the financial statements

 

 

(i)     Presentation of the quarterly financial information

 

The quarterly financial information as of March 31, 2015, was prepared based on the provisions of CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Information and the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form– ITR and they are fairly presented consistent with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). Therefore, this Interim Financial Information takes into consideration the official letter CVM/SNC/SEP 003 of April 28, 2011, which allows the entities to present selected notes to the financial statements, in cases of redundant information already disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements. The interim financial information for March 31, 2015, therefore, does not include all the notes and reporting required by the annual financial statements, and accordingly, shall be read jointly with the financial statements as of December 31, 2014, prepared pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB and pursuant to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil which observe the pronouncements issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee- CPC.

 

 

3                   Accounting policies

 

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the quarterly financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 are consistent with those used to prepare the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. These policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the Annual Financial Statements.

 

 

4                   Risk Management

 

4.1   Financial Risk Management

Financial risk factors

The Company's activities are affected by Brazilian economic scenario, making it exposed to market risk (exchange rate and interest rate), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s financial risk management is focused on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

 

The Company has not utilized derivative instruments in any of the reported periods.

 

(a)          Market risk  Foreign currency risk

SABESP’s foreign exchange exposure implies market risks associated with currency fluctuations, since the Company has foreign currency-denominated liabilities, mainly US dollar and yen-denominated short and long-term loans.

 

 

 

PAGE: 23 of 80


 
 

ITR - Quarterly Information Form - 03/31/2015 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO

 Version: 1


Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 
 

 

The management of SABESP’s foreign currency exposure considers several current and projected economic factors, besides market conditions.

 

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur in losses due to exchange rate fluctuations that would impact liability balances of foreign currency-denominated loans and financing raised in the market and related financial expenses. The Company does not maintain hedge or swap contracts or any derivative financial instrument to hedge against this risk, but conducts an active management of debt, taking advantage of opportunities to change expensive debts with “cheaper” debts, reducing the cost through early maturity.

 

A significant amount of the Company’s financial debt is indexed to the U.S. dollar and Yen, in the total amount of R$5,438,591 on March 31, 2015 (R$4,363,898 on December 31, 2014). Below, the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk:

The 25% increase in foreign currency-denominated debt from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015 was mainly due to  the following:

 

1)      Exchange rate changes, since the US dollar appreciated 20.8% from R$2.6562 on December 31, 2014 to R$3.2080 on March 31, 2015. The US dollar-denominated debt accounts for 74% of foreign currency-denominated debts; and

2)        A 1% increase in US dollar-denominated debt and 7% increase in the Yen-denominated debt.

 

On March 31, 2015, if the Brazilian real had depreciated or appreciated by 10% against the US dollar and Yen with all other variables held constant, effects on results before taxes on the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 would have been R$543,859 (R$436,390 on December 31, 2014), lower or higher, mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses or gains on the translation of foreign currency-denominated loans.

 

Scenario I below presents the effect in income statements for the next 12 months, considering the projected rates of the U.S. dollar and the Yen. Considering the other variables as remaining constant, the impacts for the next 12 months are shown in scenarios II and III with possible depreciations of 25% and 50%, respectively, in the Brazilian real.

Interest rate risk

 

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company could incur losses due to fluctuations in interest rates, increasing the financial expenses related to loans and financing.

 

The Company has not entered into any derivative contract to hedge against this risk; however continually monitors market interest rates, in order to evaluate the possible need to replace its debt.

(iii) TJLP - (Taxa de Juros a Longo Prazo), a long-term interest rate index

(iv) IPCA - (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), a consumer price index

(v) LIBOR - London Interbank Offered Rate

 

As of March 31, 2015, if interest rates on loans and financing denominated in Brazilian reais had been 1% higher or lower with all other variables held constant, the effects on profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, before taxes would have been R$83,699 (R$79,294 on December 31, 2014) lower or higher.

 

Another risk to which the Company is exposed, is the mismatch of the monetary restatement indices of its debts with those of its service revenues. Water supply and sewage services tariff adjustments do not necessarily follow the increases in the inflation indexes to adjust loans, financing and interest rates affecting the Company's indebtedness.

 

(b)         Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits in banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale basis and retail customers, including outstanding accounts receivable, restricted cash and accounts receivable from related parties. Credit risk exposure to customers is mitigated by sales to a dispersed base.

 

The maximum exposures to credit risk at the reporting date are the carrying amounts of instruments classified as cash equivalents, deposits in banks and financial institutions, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts receivable from related parties in the balance sheet date. See additional information in Notes 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 
 

 

Regarding the financial assets held with financial institutions, the credit quality that is not past due or subject to provision for impairment can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. The credit quality of counterparties which are banks, such as deposits and financial investments, the Company considers the lower rating of the counterparty published by three main international rating agencies (Fitch, Moody's and S&P), according to internal policy of market risk management:

(c)                         Liquidity risk

 

The Company's liquidity is primarily reliant upon cash provided by operating activities, loans from Brazilian Federal and State governmental financial institutions, and financing in the domestic and international capital markets. The liquidity risk management considers the assessment of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its Capex and operating expenses needs, as well as the payment of debts.

 

The funds held by the Company are invested in interest-bearing current accounts, time deposits and securities, selecting instruments with appropriate maturity or liquidity sufficient to provide margin as determined by projections mentioned above.

 

The table below shows the financial liabilities of the Company, into relevant maturities, including the installment of principal and future interest to be paid according to the agreement.

(*)The Company also considered future commitments (construction in progress) not yet recognized in the financial statements related to São Lourenço PPP, due to the relevance of future cash flows, the impacts on its operations and the fact the Company already has formalized this commitment through an agreement signed by the parties.

 

Future interest

 

Future interest was calculated based on the contractual clauses for all agreements. For agreements with floating interest rate, the interest rates used correspond to the base dates above.

 

Cross default

 

The Company has loan and financing agreements including cross default clauses, i.e., the early maturity of any debt may imply the early maturity of these agreements. The indicators are continuously monitored in order to avoid the execution of this clause.

 

(d)   Sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk

 

The table below shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments, prepared in accordance with CVM Rule 475/2008 in order to evidence the balances of main financial assets and liabilities, calculated at a rate projected until the final settlement of each contract, considering a probable scenario (scenario I), appreciation of 25% (scenario II) and 50% (scenario III).

 

The purpose of the sensitivity analysis is to measure the impact of changes in the market over the financial instruments of the Company, considering constant all other variables. In the time of settlement, the amounts can be different from those presented above, due to the estimates used in the measurement.

4.2  Capital management

 

The Company's objectives when managing capital are ensure its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 

The Company monitors capital based on the leverage ratio. This ratio corresponds to net debt divided by total capital. Net debt corresponds to total loans and financing less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as total equity as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt.

On March 31, 2015, the leverage ratio increased from the 41% as of December 31, 2014 to 43%, due to the R$1,061,260 increase in loans and financing, mainly due to the inflow of funds in 2015, loan agreements in progress and the effect of Real depreciation against the US dollar.

 

4.3  Fair value estimates

 

It is assumed that balances from trade accounts receivable (current) and accounts payable to suppliers by carrying amount, less impairment, approximate their fair values, considering the short maturity. Long-term trade accounts receivable also approximate their fair values, as they will be adjusted by inflation and/or will bear contractual interest rates over time.

 

4.4  Financial Instruments

 

On March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company neither has financial assets classified into the fair value categories through profit or loss, held to maturity and available for sale nor financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s financial instruments included in the loans and receivables category comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, balances with related parties, other accounts receivable, balances receivable from the Water National Agency – ANA, and the financial instruments under other liabilities category are comprised of balance payable to contractors and suppliers, loans and financing, balances payable deriving from the Public Private Partnership-PPP and program contract commitments, which are non-derivative financial assets and liabilities with fixed or determinable payments, not quoted in an active market.

 

The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

The conditions and additional information referring to these financial instruments are disclosed in Note 9 to this interim financial information and in Note 10 to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2014. Part of this balance, totaling R$837,441 (R$155,493 on December 31, 2014), refers to reimbursement from additional retirement and pension plan - G0 which is indexed by IPCA plus simple interest of 0.5% p.m. This interest rate approximates that one practiced by federal government bonds (NTN-b) with terms similar to those of related-party transactions.

The criteria adopted to obtain the fair values of loans and financing, in preparing the interim financial information as of March 31, 2015, are consistent with those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. In the Annual Financial Statements, these criteria are disclosed in Note 5.4.

 

Considering the nature of other financial instruments, assets and liabilities of the Company, the balances recognized in the statement of financial position approximate the fair values, taking into account the maturities close to the end of the reporting period, comparison of contractual interest rates with market rates in similar operations at the end of the reporting periods, their nature and maturity terms.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

 

(*)On March 18, 2014, the State of São Paulo, the municipality of Diadema and SABESP entered into a “Water Supply and Sewage Public Utility Services Agreement” in the municipality of Diadema. Through this contract, the State of São Paulo and the municipality of Diadema have ensured to SABESP (or subsidiary) exclusive rights to render services for a 30-year term.

 

On this same date, judicial settlements were signed in lawsuits filed by SABESP against the municipality of Diadema and Saned – a municipal company. Through these settlements, SABESP, the municipality of Diadema and Saned agree to suspend the execution of suits to collect receivables related to water supply at wholesale and collection of indemnity debt. The debts will progressively decrease throughout a 30-year period, under the condition that there is a full compliance with the agreements and provision of services contract.

                                                

This balance is fully accrued as losses.

 

Additionally, in compliance with the judicial settlements signed between SABESP and the Municipality of Diadema on March 25, 2015, SABESP and Saned entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Empresa de Água e Esgoto de Diadema S.A. (“EAED”) – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saned. The Agreement establishes that:

 

Saned must invest in EAED, certain assets, goods, rights and obligations, by capital increase, and transfer to the company its employees hired through competitive examination.

 

Once fulfilled these obligations, operations will be executed as provided in the Agreement. On this date, all shares issued by EAED will be effectively transferred to SABESP, corresponding to 100% of its capital stock.

 

SABESP will pay by offsetting credits against Saned’s debts with SABESP.

 

As of the reporting, such operation had not been concluded yet, as certain conditions have not been fully met. Accordingly, SABESP has not acquired EAED’s shares yet.

 

From January to March 2015, there were no relevant changes in relation to the operations presented in the financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

 

(i)  General customers - residential and small and mid-sized companies

 

(ii)          Special customers - large consumers, commercial, industries, condominiums and special billing consumers (industrial waste, wells, etc.).

 

(iii) Agreements - installment payments of past-due receivables, plus monetary restatement and interest.

 

(iv)  Wholesale basis customers - municipal governments - This balance refers to the sale of treated water to municipalities, which are responsible for distributing to, billing and charging final customers. Some of these municipalities are questioning in court the tariffs charged by SABESP, which have full allowance for doubtful accounts. Additionally, the overdue amounts are included in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

(b)         Agreement with the State Government of São Paulo “GESP”

 

On March 18, 2015, the Company, the State of São Paulo and the Department of Water and Electricity - DAEE, and the Sanitation and Water Resources Department as the intervening party, entered into a Term of Agreement in the amount of R$1,012,310, of which R$696,283 refer to the principal amount and R$316,027 referring to the inflation adjustment of principal until February 2015.

 

The Principal Amount will be paid in 180 installments, as follows:

 

·    The first 24 installments will be settled by immediately transferring of 2,221,000 preferred shares issued by Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista - CTEEP, totaling R$87,174, based on the share closing price on March 17, 2015, and

·    The amount of R$609,109 will be adjusted by IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index) until the date when payments start and paid in cash, by means of other 156 monthly installments, beginning on April 5, 2017. When payment starts, installments will be adjusted by IPCA plus simple interest of 0.5% per month.

 

Considering the lawsuit which objects the possibility of transferring the reservoirs is pending final and unappealable court decision, the agreement also provides for the following situations:

 

·    If transfer is possible and the Reservoirs are effectively transferred to SABESP and registered at the notary’s office, SABESP will reimburse to the State the amounts paid in replacement of Reservoirs (Principal Amount) in 60 monthly installments adjusted by IPCA until the date of payment of each installment; and

 

·   If the transfer of Reservoirs is not possible, the State will pay to SABESP, in addition to the Principal Amount, the inflation adjustment credit in 60 installments, starting these payments at the end of Principal Amount installment payment. The amount will be adjusted by IPCA to the start date of payments and, as of this date, IPCA will be incurred plus 0.5% simple interest rates/month over the amount of each installment.

 

The accounting impacts of the agreement generated a debit of R$696,283 in accounts receivable from related parties (current and non-current) and a credit in the same amount in administrative expenses.

(c)         Contingent assets - GESP (not recorded)

 

SABESP had contingent assets with GESP, not recorded in assets referring to the additional retirement and pension paid (Law 4,819/58), as follows:

 

  March 31, December 31,
  2015 2014
Disputed amounts receivable 798,441 783,422
Undisputed amount referring to the transfer of reservoirs    
at Alto Tietê system to SABESP (Note 9 (b)) - 696,283
Total 798,441 1,479,705

 

(d)        Use of reservoirs – EMAE

 

Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia S.A. - EMAE plans to receive for the credit and to obtain financial compensation for the use of water from the Guarapiranga and Billings reservoirs, which SABESP uses in its operations, as well as the reimbursement of damages related to the failure to pay appropriately.

 

The Company understands that no amounts are due for the use of these reservoirs given the grants already made. Should these reservoirs not be available for use to the Company, there could be the need to collect water in more distant places. There is a risk of not properly rendering services in the region, besides increasing water supply cost.

 

Several lawsuits were filed by EMAE. Currently, an arbitration proceeding is in progress related to the Guarapiranga reservoir and a lawsuit related to Billings reservoir, both pleading for financial compensation due to SABESP’s water collect for public supply, alleging that this conduct has been causing permanent and growing loss in the capacity of generating electricity of Henry Borden hydroelectric power plant with financial losses.

 

SABESP understands that the expectation for all cases is of possible losses, and for the time being, it is not feasible to estimate the amounts involved, since they were not determined.

 

On April 10, 2014, we issued a Notice to the Market including the information about any future agreement. However, no adjustment was confirmed and no agreement was executed by either party up to date.

 

(e)         Agreements with reduced tariffs with State and Municipal Government Entities that joined the Water Rational Use Program (PURA)

 

The Company has signed agreements with government entities related to the State Government and municipalities where it operates that benefit from a reduction of 25% in the tariff of water supply and sewage services when they are not in default. These agreements provide for the implementation of the rational water use program, which takes into consideration the reduction in the water consumption.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

 

(b)         Explanation on the nature of main classes of lawsuits

 

(i)        Customer claims

 

Approximately 1,220 lawsuits were filed by commercial customers, which claim that their tariffs should correspond to other consumer categories, and 720 lawsuits which claim a reduction in the sewage tariff due to losses in the system, consequently requesting the refund of amounts charged by the Company and 60 lawsuits where customers plead the reduction in tariff under the category as “Social Welfare Entity”. The Company was granted both favorable and unfavorable final decisions at several court levels and recognized provisions when the chances of losses are probable. The decrease of R$52,026 in the lawsuits classified as probable loss (net of escrow deposits) is mainly related to revisions of expectations caused by favorable decisions to the Company.

 

(ii)        Supplier claims

 

Suppliers’ claims include lawsuits filed by some suppliers alleging underpayment of monetary restatements, withholding of amounts related to the understated inflation rates deriving from Real economic plan, and the economic and financial imbalance of the agreements. These lawsuits are in progress at different courts and a provision is recognized when the chances of losses are probable.

 

(iii)     Other civil claims

 

These mainly refer to indemnities for property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of profits allegedly caused to third parties, filed at different court levels, dully accrued when classified as probable losses.

 

(iv)       Tax claims

 

Tax claims refers mainly to issues related to tax collections challenged due to differences in the interpretation of legislation by the Company's management, accrued when classified as probable loss.

 

(v)         Labor claims

 

The Company is a party to labor lawsuits, involving issues such as overtime, shift schedule, health hazard premium and hazardous duty premium, prior notice, change of function, salary equalization, and other. Part of the amount involved is in provisional or final execution at various court levels, and thus is classified as of probable or possible loss. The Company recognized a provision for claims which likelihood of loss is considered probable. The decrease of R$19,770 in lawsuits with probable chances of losses (net of escrow deposits) is mainly related to reversals of provisions referring to settlements in the Company’s administrative proceedings.

The decrease of R$40,729 in lawsuits with expectation of probable losses (net of escrow deposits) is mainly related to the change in amount of a lawsuit due to the expectation of settlement with the parties involved.

(ii)      The monetary variation derives from increase in the indexes defined in the loan agreements, such as, TR and IPCA, which were 0.2% and 3.8%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015 (0.2% and 2.2%, respectively, in same period of 2014). The exposures to these rates are shown in Note 4.1 (d).

 

(iii)    The variation is mainly due to reversal of inflation adjustment of customers’ lawsuits and environmental claims, due to settlements and the amendment in the chances of losses in these lawsuits, due to favorable decisions to the Company.

 

(iv)     The increase in expenses mainly derives from appreciation of the US dollar and Yen in the first quarter of 2015, of 20.7% and 20.3%, respectively, compared to a depreciation of 3.4% and 1.6%, respectively, in the same period of 2014.

(i)        Other operating income increased by R$12.8 million, mainly due to revenue from the electricity selling right at the Chamber of Trade of Electricity, this increase was partially offset by a revenue decreased with the Water Rational Use Program (PURA).

 

Other operating expenses consist mainly of write-off of concessions due to obsolescence, discontinued construction works, unproductive wells, projects considered economically unfeasible, losses on property, plant and equipment.

 

(ii)      The variation in other operating expenses is due to the decrease in expenses with provision for hydrometer losses in 2015 and the provision for losses with works, projects, hydrometer and accounts receivable with the municipality of Diadema recorded in 2014.

30               Events after the reporting period

 

·    Tariff revision

 

On May 4, 2015, ARSESP published two resolutions:

 

· Resolution 560, which authorized a 7.7875% adjustment over current tariffs, composed of:

 

a)      2015 annual tariff adjustment of 7.1899%, calculated based on the 8.1285% variation of IPCA from March 2014 to March 2015, less the efficiency factor (X factor) of 0.9386%; and

 

b)  additional adjustment of 0.5575%, due to the postponment to apply the Ordinary Tariff Revision, authorized for May 2014 but only applied in December 2014, when it was partially offset.

 

·Resolution 561, which established the 6.9154% index referring to SABESP’s Extraordinary Tariff Revision applicable over the tariffs authorized on this date by ARSESP Resolution nº 560, mentioned above.

Reports and Statements / Unqualified Report on Special Review

(Convenience Translation into English from the Original Previously Issued in Portuguese)

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Management of

Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP

São Paulo - SP

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP (the “Company”) included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR), for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, which comprises the financial position as of March 31, 2015 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Information and in accordance with international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other matters

Statements of value added

We have also reviewed the statements of value added (DVA) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, the presentation of which is required by the standards issued by the CVM - Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information - ITR and considered as supplemental information by IFRSs, which does not require the presentation of DVA. These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above, and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, consistently with the interim financial information taken as a whole.

 

The accompanying interim financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
