Costs and expenses, which include construction costs, totaled R$2,719.2 million, a 13.0% increase when compared to the same period of 2017.

 

Adjusted EBIT, in the amount of R$1,092.1 million, decreased 3.5% compared to the R$1,131.8 million presented in 3Q17.

2. Gross operating revenue

 

The gross operating revenue related to sanitation services, in the amount of R$3,331.6 million, which does not consider the construction revenue, increased by R$331.9 million or 11.1%, when compared to R$2,999.7 million in 3Q17.

 

The main factors that led to the increase were:

 

·         Tariff repositioning index of 7.9% since November 2017; and

 

·         Tariff repositioning index of 3.5% since June 2018.

 

The increase caused by the above-mentioned factors was partially offset by the higher recognition with allowance for doubtful accounts regarding the wholesale sales in 3Q18, in the amount of R$42.7 million, due to the lower revenue in the period, mainly from the municipality of Guarulhos.

 

There was no relevant variation in the total billed volume in the related period.

 

3. Construction revenue
 

Construction revenue increased by R$11.2 million or 1.6%, when compared to the same period of 2017. The variation is mainly due to the higher investment in the municipalities served by the Company.

5.1. Salaries and payroll charges and Pension plan obligations

 

In 3Q18, there was an increase of R$68.8 million or 11.0%, due to the following factors:

 

·         Increase of R$61.5 million due to the provision for employees who joined the Knowledge Retention Program (Programa de Retenção de Conhecimento - PRC) launched by the Company in 2Q18, aiming to mitigate the impact of the exit of employees who possess strategic knowledge acquired throughout their career, through the transfer of intellectual capital;

·         Increase of R$43.7 million in expenses related to health insurance; and

·         Increase of R$16.7 million, mainly due to the 1.7% increase related to the Career and Salary Plan (Plano de Cargos e Salários) in February 2018, salary increases of 1.3% in May 2018 and the hiring of 675 new employees in 3Q18.

Page 4 of 12


 

 

The increases above were partially offset by the reversal of R$56.2 million in the provision for the Provision for Consent Decree (Termo de Ajuste de Conduta - TAC), related to the employees who joined the PRC.

 

5.2. General Materials

Increase of R$21.2 million, or 53.3%, mainly due to the greater use of materials in the maintenance in water and sewage networks and in the maintenance of real estate and facilities, in the amount of R$8.0 million and R$5.9 million, respectively.

 

5.3 Services

Service expenses in the amount of R$366.5 million increased by R$78.1 million, or 27.1%, compared to the R$288.4 million recorded in 3Q17. The increase in this line was distributed in several items, the main ones were:

 

·         Increased hiring of technical services in 3Q18, in the amount of R$27.9 million, mainly related to: (i) customer service, in the amount of R$3.7 million; and (ii) IT technical support, in the amount of R$3.5 million;

·         Greater services execution in maintenance, in the water and sewage systems, in the amount of R$7.8 million;

 

·         Increased surveillance expenses, in the amount of R$6.1 million; and

 

·         Maintenance of properties and facilities, in the amount of R$5.4 million.

 

5.4. Electricity

 

Electricity expenses totaled R$241.5 million in 3Q18, an increase of R$37.9 million or 18.6% when compared to the R$203.6 million in 3Q17. This variation was mainly due to:

 

·         Average increase of 10.1% in free market tariffs (Ambiente de Contratação Livre - ACL), with a decrease of 1.3% in consumption;

 

·         Average increase of 11.4% in the grid market tariffs (Tarifas de Uso do Sistema de Distribuição - TUSD), with a 10.5% increase in consumption; and

 

·         Average increase of 20.4% in regulated market tariffs (Ambiente de Contratação Regulada - ACR), with a decrease of 0.9% in consumption.

 

 

In 3Q18, ACL represented 34.3% of the total amount of electricity consumed by the Company, TUSD 34.1% and ACR represented 31.6% of this amount.

 

5.5. General expenses

 

An increase of R$32.3 million or 17.5%, totaling R$216.7 million in 3Q18, compared to R$184.4 million in 3Q17, mainly due to the following factors:

 

·         Higher expenses related to charging for use of water, in the amount of R$23.0 million, related to a additional payment made to Foundation Agency of Alto Tietê Water Basin (Fundação Agência Bacia Hidrográfica Alto Tietê - FABHAT ) from 2014 to 2016; due to the signature of a Recognition of Obligations Term (Termo de Reconhecimento de Obrigações) between the Company and FABHAT  in 3Q18; and 

Page 5 of 12


 

 

·         Higher provision for transfer to the São Paulo Municipal Fund for Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure (Fundo Municipal de Saneamento Ambiental e Infraestrutura de São Paulo), in the amount of R$15.2 million.

 

The above-mentioned increases were partially offset by the lower provisioning for lawsuits in 3Q18, in the amount of R$8.7 million.

 

5.6. Depreciation and Amortization

 

The expenses with depreciation and amortization increased by R$18.0 million or 5.5%, mainly due to the start-up of intangible assets, in the amount of R$3.7 billion.

 

5.7. Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Increase of R$53.7 million, mainly due to:

 

·         Lower recovery of unpaid amounts of R$30.1 million in 3Q18; and

·         Increase in delinquency rates, with an impact of R$23.6 million.

 

6. Other Operating Revenues (Expenses), Net

Increase of R$19.6 million, mainly related to the higher receipt of resources from the Water Basin Decontamination Program (Programa de Despoluição de Bacias Hidrográficas) in 3Q18, in the amount of R$12.8 million.

Increase of R$50.6 million, mainly due to the following factors:

Page 6 of 12


 

 

·         Increase of R$11.8 million in interest and charges on domestic loans and financings, mainly due to the lower capitalized amount to intangible assets in 3Q18 when compared to 3Q17;

·         Increase of R$17.0 million in interest and charges on foreign loans and financings, mainly due to the higher outstanding amounts in 3Q18 when compared to 3Q17, resulting from the appreciation of the dollar and yen against the real; and

·         Increase of R$15.7 million in other financial expenses, mainly due to: (i) recognition of interest on investment related to the Public-Private Partnership - PPP, in 3Q18, in the amount of R$36.1 million, due to the full startup of the São Lourenço Production System (Sistema Produtor São Lourenço) in July 2018; and (ii) lower recognition of interest in lawsuits, in the amount of R$16.8 million.

 

7.2. Monetary and exchange variation, net

  
R$ million 
  3Q18  3Q17  Chg.  % 
Monetary variation on loans and financing  (21.3)  (3.6)  (17.7)  491.7 
Currency exchange variation on loans and financing  (190.8)  253.2  (444.0)  (175.4) 
Other monetary variations  2.3  (0.9)  3.2  (355.6)

Monetary/exchange rate variation, net  (167.7)  267.4  (435.1)  (162.7) 

 

The effect of net monetary and exchange variations in 3Q18 was R$435.1 million higher than in 3Q17, highlighting the increase of R$444.0 million in exchange variation on loans and financing, due to the appreciation of the dollar and the yen against real in 3Q18 (3.8% and 1.3%, respectively) when compared to the depreciation occurred in 3Q17 (-4.2% and -4.5%, respectively).

 

8. Income tax and Social contribution

 

The Company recorded a decrease of R$170.5 million, due to the lower taxable result presented in 3Q18, mainly due to the appreciation of the dollar and yen against the real in 3Q18, when compared to the depreciation in 3Q17.
