Comments on the Company’s Performance

The main factors that led to this variation were:

 

·           Tariff increase of 8.4% since May 2016;

 

·          Increase of 2.7% in the Company’s total billed volume (2.9% in water and 2.4% in sewage);

 

·          Bonus granted in 2Q16 amounting to R$ 33.6 million, within the Water Consumption Reduction Incentive Program ended in April 2016; and

 

·          Lower provisioning for loss of wholesale revenue in 2Q17, in the amount of R$ 21.0 million, due to the payment received in the period.

The increase resulting from the above mentioned factors was partially offset by the suspension of the Contingency Tariff in April 2016, in the amount of R$ 64.2 million in 2Q16.

 

 

3.     Construction revenue

Construction revenue decreased R$ 117.8 million or 13.1%, when compared to 2Q16. The variation was mainly due to lower investments in the municipalities served by the Company.

5.1.   Salaries and payroll charges and Pension plan obligations

 

There was an increase of R$ 94.7 million in 2Q17, mainly due to:

·          Increase of R$ 76.0 million  in provisions for severance pay (TAC), mainly due to the higher number of retired employees  in 2Q17; and

·          Increase of R$ 20.2 million, mostly due to the 1% increase related to the Career and Salary Plan since December 2016 and the 3.71% pay rise in May 2017.

 

 

5.2.   Services

 

Service expenses totaled R$ 349.8 million, R$ 33.5 million more  than the R$ 316.3 million recorded in 2Q16, mostly due to an increase in water and sewage connections and network maintenance services.

General expenses increased R$ 72.9 million, or 43.7%, totaling R$ 239.6 million in 2Q17, versus the
R$ 166.7 million recorded in 2Q16, mainly due to:

 

·          Increase of R$ 42.3 million in provisions for court proceedings in 2Q17; and

·          Higher provision for the Municipal Fund for Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure, in the amount of
R$ 16.0 million, as a result of the increase in revenues with the municipality of São Paulo.

 

 

5.5.   Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased R$ 23.8 million or 8.1%, reaching R$ 318.0 million in 2Q17 in comparison to the R$ 294.2            million recorded in 2Q16, largely due to the beginning of operations of intangible assets, in the amount of R$ 1.6 billion.

 

 

5.6.   Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Increase of R$ 71.3 million, mainly resulting from the receipt of non-recurring court-ordered debt payments from the city of Guarulhos in 2Q16, amounting to R$ 57.8 million.

6.1.1. Financial expenses

 

 

Decrease of R$ 7.9 million, mainly due to the following events:

 

·          Interest and charges on international loans and financing: increase of R$ 5.1 million, mainly due to the appreciation of the dollar and the yen against the real at the end of 2Q17 (4.4% and 3.5%, respectively), versus a depreciation in 2Q16 (-9.8% and -1.4%, respectively); 

·          Interest and charges on domestic loans and financing: reduction of R$ 7.1 million, mainly due to a decline in the debt balance following the partial amortizations of the 10 th and 15 th debenture issues in January and February 2017, respectively, and the full amortization of the 19 th issue in  June 2017; and

6.2.1 Monetary and exchange rate variation on liabilities

 

The effect of monetary and currency variations in 2Q17 was R$ 655.3 million higher than in 2Q16, mainly due to:

 

·          Reduction of R$ 13.7 million in expenses with monetary variation on loans and financing, due to the lower variation in the IPCA in 2Q17 compared with 2Q16 (0.2% and 1.8%, respectively); and

·          Increase of R$ 672.9 million in exchange variation on loans and financing, as a result of the appreciation of dollar and yen against the real in 2Q17 (4.4% and 3.5%, respectively), versus a devaluation of -9.8% and -1.4%, respectively, in 2Q16.

 

 

6.2.2. Monetary and exchange rate variation on assets

 

Decrease of R$ 8.4 million, mainly due to the lower monetary restatement of judicial deposits in 2Q17.

 

 

7.     Income tax and social contribution

Decrease of R$ 267.4 million, mainly due to the lower taxable result reported in the period, which was mainly impacted by the appreciation of dollar and yen against the real in 2Q17, versus a devaluation in 2Q16.

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. SABESP aims to be a world reference in the provision of sanitation services, in a sustainable, competitive and innovative manner, with a focus on customers .

 

As of June 30, 2017, the Company operated water and sewage services in 367 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 367 municipalities. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 369 contracts.

 

SABESP is not temporarily operating in some municipalities due to judicial orders. The lawsuits in progress refer to Macatuba and Cajobi, and the carrying amount of these municipalities’ intangible assets was R$ 4,345 as of June 30, 2017 (R$ 4,345 as of December 31, 2016 ).

 

As of June 30, 2017 , 53 concession agreements (54 as of December 31, 2016) had expired and are being negotiated. From July 1, 2017 to 2030, 33 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 June 30, 2017 , 283 program and services contracts were signed (281 contracts as of December 31, 2016 ).

 

As of June 30, 2017 , the carrying amount of the underlying assets used in the 53 concessions of the municipalities under negotiation totaled R$ 6,673,906, accounting for 20.74% of the total, and the related gross revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled R$ 904,237, accounting for 12.16% of the total .

 

The Company’s operations are concentrated in the municipality of São Paulo, which represents 53.58% of the gross revenues on June 30, 2017 (54.25% on June 30, 2016 ) and 48.00% of intangible assets (46.57% on December 31, 2016 ).

 

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. On the same date, the State of São Paulo, the Municipality 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 :

 

21


 
 

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

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

ii.    capture, transport and treatment of water;

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

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

 

The Company operates under an authorization by public deed in some municipalities in the Santos coast region and in the Ribeira Valley, where the Company started to operate after the merger of the companies that formed it. In September 2015, the Company entered into a water supply and sewage public utility services agreement with the municipality of Santos; the gross revenue calculated in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled R$ 183,508 (R$ 138,253 in the period ended June 30, 2016) and the intangible asset was R$ 300,503 on June 30, 2017 (R$ 303,540 on December 31, 2016). 

 

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, which amended Article 7°-A of Law 11,578, of November 26, 2007, allowed the provision of public basic sanitation services to be executed until December 31, 2016.

 

The Company’s Management understands that in the municipalities where the concession agreements were not yet renewed, the operation is 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 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 .

 

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, Attend Ambiental and Paulista Geradora de Energia. 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 .

 

As of May 31, 2017, ANA and DAEE disclosed the renewal of the concession of the Cantareira System for another 10 years. The terms of this concession define the water volume the Company is authorized to withdraw from the Cantareira System to supply the São Paulo Metropolitan Region.  This concession establishes five water withdrawal bands, based on the volume of water available in the Cantareira System reservoirs: (i) if the volume of water available is higher than 60% of the reservoirs’ capacity, the Company may withdraw up to 33 m³/s; (ii) if the volume of water available is between 40% and 60% of the reservoirs’ capacity, the Company may withdraw up to 31 m³/s; (iii) if the volume of water available is between 30% and 40% of the reservoirs’ capacity, the Company may withdraw up to 27 m³/s; (iv) if the volume of water available is between 20% and 30% of the reservoirs’ capacity, the Company may withdraw up to  23 m³/s; and (v) if the volume of water available is lower than 20% of the reservoirs’ capacity, the Company my withdraw up to 15.5 m³/s.

 

22


 
 

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

In June 2017, the reservoirs of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region stored approximately 1.3 trillion litters of treatment water, versus approximately 1.0 trillion litters in June 2016 .

 

At the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 two important projects aimed to increase water security in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region are expected to be concluded, as follows: (i) the Jaguarí-Atibainha interconnection, which will transfer up to 5.13 cubic meters per second (m³/s) from the Paraíba do Sul Basin to the Cantareira System; and (ii) the construction of the São Lourenço Production System, which will expand water production and capacity by 6.4 m³/s.

 

Management expects that with the normalization of rainfall, the generation of operating cash and the credit lines available for investment, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its commitments and not compromise its necessary investments .

 

The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on August 14, 2017 .

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 are consistent with those used to prepare the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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 borrowings .

 

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 borrowings 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 .

 

A significant amount of the Company’s financial debt is indexed to the U.S. dollar and Yen, in the total amount of R$ 5,725,544 as of June 30, 2017 (R$ 5,692,984 as of December 31, 2016). Below, the Company’s exposure to exchange risk :

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

The 1% increase in foreign-currency denominated debt from June 30, 2017 to December 31, 2016 was mainly due to the following :

 

1)          Exchange rate changes, due to the 1.5% increase in the US dollar, from R$ 3.2591 as of December 31, 2016, to R$ 3.3082 as of June 30, 2017. The US dollar-denominated debt accounts for 69.7% of foreign currency-denominated debts; and

2)         Exchange rate changes, due to the 5.4% increase in the Yen, from R$ 0.02792 as of December 31, 2016 to R$ 0.02944 as of June 30, 2017 .

3)         The increase was partially offset by the amortization of the BID 713 and AB LOAN agreements .

 

 

As of June 30, 2017, if the Brazilian real had depreciated or appreciated by 10%, in addition to the impacts mentioned above, against the US dollar and Yen with all other variables held constant, effects on results before taxes on the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 would have been R$ 572,554 (R$ 569,298 for the year ended December 31, 2016), lower or higher, mainly as a result of 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 .

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

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 borrowings 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 .

 

The table below provides the Company's borrowings and financing subject to variable interest rate :

(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

 

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. Tariff adjustments of services provided by the Company do not necessarily follow the increases in the inflation indexes to adjust borrowings, financing and interest rates affecting indebtedness .

 

As of June 30, 2017, if interest rates on borrowings and financing had been 1% higher or lower with all other variables held constant, the effects on profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 before taxes would have been R$ 82,235 (R$ 86,910 as of December 31, 2016) lower or higher, mainly as a result of a lower or higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings and financing .

 

(b)          Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from 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 as of June 30, 2017 are the carrying amounts of instruments classified as cash equivalents, deposits in banks and financial institutions, restricted cash, trade receivables and accounts receivable from related parties at the end of reporting period. 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 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 operating and capital expenditures 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 not yet performed) still not 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 borrowings 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 these clauses .

 

(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 for the twelve-month period after June 30, 2017, or until the final settlement of each contract, whichever is shorter, 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, 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 .

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

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

As of June 30, 2017, the leverage ratio decreased to 39% from the 40% as of December 31, 2016, not showing significant variation in the period .

 

4.3   Fair value estimates

 

It is assumed that balances from trade receivables (current) and accounts payable to suppliers by carrying amount, less impairment approximate their fair values, considering the short maturity. Long-term trade receivables 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

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity and available for sale neither financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s financial instruments included in the borrowings and receivables category comprise cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, balances with related parties, other receivables, and balances receivable from the Water National Agency – ANA. The financial instruments under the “other liabilities” category comprise accounts payable to contractors and suppliers, borrowings and financing, services payable, 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 criteria adopted to obtain the fair values of borrowings and financing, in preparing the interim financial information as of June 30, 2017, are consistent with those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. 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 balance sheet 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 period, their nature and maturity terms .

(b)          Contingent assets - GESP (not recorded)

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, SABESP had contingent assets with GESP, not recorded in assets referring to the additional retirement and pension paid (Law 4,819/58), named “Disputed amounts receivable”, totaling R$ 974,438 and R$ 937,035, respectively .

 

(c)          Use of reservoirs EMAE

 

Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia S.A. (“EMAE”) planned to receive for the credit and obtain financial compensation for alleged past and future losses in electricity generation, due to water collection, and compensation for costs already incurred and to be incurred with the operation, maintenance and inspection of the Guarapiranga and Billings reservoirs used by SABESP in its operations .

 

Several lawsuits were filed by EMAE, among which an arbitration proceeding related to the Guarapiranga reservoir and a lawsuit related to the 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, resulting in financial losses .

 

As of April 10, 2014, the Company issued a Notice to the Market including the information about an eventual future agreement .

 

As of October 28, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement based on a Private Transaction Agreement and Other Adjustments with EMAE aimed to fully and completely settle the disputes involving the two companies .

 

Pursuant to the terms of Clause Two of the agreement, the transaction is subject to the condition precedent of approval by the competent bodies of EMAE .

 

Upon ratification of the agreement, all litigation between SABESP and EMAE will cease permanently .

The agreement involves the payment by SABESP to EMAE of the following amounts :

-   R$ 6,610 annually, adjusted for inflation from the signature date of this instrument, based on the IPCA or on any other index that may replace it, to the last business day of October of each fiscal year, of which (i) the first annual payment until the last business day of October 2017 and (ii) the last payment until the last business day of October 2042; and

 

37


 
 

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

 

-    R$ 46,270, in five annual and successive installments, adjusted for inflation based on the IPCA, or on any other index that may replace it, the first installment of R$ 9,254 maturing on April 30, 2017 and the remaining 4 (four) installments, of the same amount, due on every April 30 (thirty) of the subsequent years, or the first subsequent business day .

 

At the same time, on April 11, 2016, the Company was served with process filed by EMAE’s minority shareholders against the São Paulo State. The plaintiffs of these lawsuits are seeking a decision that requires the State to prohibit SABESP from extracting water from these reservoirs without paying a financial compensation to EMAE and that allows EMAE to pump water from the reservoirs to its hydroelectric power plant. The plaintiffs of this lawsuit claim that the State, as EMA’s controlling shareholder, acted against EMAE and in favor of SABESP .

 

On August 7, 2017, the Company was once again served with process in a citizen suit filed by Alvaro Luiz de Lima de Alvares Otero against ANEEL, EMAE and SABESP requesting the annulment of ANEEL order 3431/16, which consents to the above transaction. The plaintiff claims that the act is illegal and harmful, compromises the operational feasibility of the Henry Borden hydroelectric power plant and jeopardizes the energy security of the São Paulo State, the Southeast region and Brazil. Finally, the plaintiff requests SABESP to indemnify EMAE for said act, at an amount to be calculated in the liquidation of the award .

 

If SABESP can no longer extract water from these reservoirs, it will have to transport water from more distant places, increasing water transportation costs, which may jeopardize the Company’s ability to provide an appropriate service in the region .

 

(d)         Agreements with reduced tariffs with State and Municipal Government Entities that joined the Rational Water 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 water consumption .

 

(e)          Guarantees

                              

The State Government provides guarantees for some borrowings and financing of the Company and does not charge any fee with respect to such guarantees .

 

(f)           Personnel assignment agreement among entities related to the State Government

 

The Company has personnel assignment agreements with entities related to the State Government, whose expenses are fully passed on and monetarily reimbursed. From April to June 2017 and in the same period in 2016, the expenses related to personnel assigned by SABESP to other state government entities amounted to R$ 2,612 and R$ 2,962, respectively, and, from January to June 2017 and 2016, they amounted to R$ 5,135 and R$ 5,209, respectively .

 

From January to June 2017 and 2016, there were no expenses related to personnel assigned by other entities to SABESP, but totaled R$ 7 from April to June, and R$ 10 from January to June .

 

38

The Company holds interest in certain Special Purpose Entities (SPEs), not holding the majority interest but with cast vote and power of veto in some issues, with no ability to use such power of veto in a way to affect returns over investments. Therefore, these SPEs are considered for accounting purposes as jointly-owned subsidiaries .

 

The Company entered into a loan agreement through credit facility with the SPEs Aquapolo Ambiental S.A. on March 30, 2012, and with Attend Ambiental S.A. on May 9, 2014, to finance the operations of these companies, until the borrowings and financing requested with financial institutions is cleared.

When resources are made available, liabilities are recorded until funds are released by ANA. After the evidence of targets stipulated in each contract, the revenue deriving from these funds is recognized, but if these targets are not met, funds will return to the National Treasury with the appropriate funds earnings.

As a result of the construction of priority projects related to water and sewage systems, the Company was required to expropriate third-parties' properties, and the owners of these properties will be compensated either amicably or through courts .

 

The costs of these expropriations are recorded as concession intangible assets after the transaction is concluded. From April to June 2017, the total amount related to expropriations was R$ 1,882 and from January to June 2017, expropriations totaled R$ 4,783 (R$ 16,707 from April to June 2016 and R$ 18,923 from January to June 2016 ).

Review report on the interim financial statements – ITR

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP

São Paulo – SP

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information of Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP (“The Company”), included in the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR referring to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, comprising the balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and the statement of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods then ended, and the statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

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

 

Review scope

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on review engagements NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity 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 the 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 the auditing standards 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 Quarterly Information Form - ITR referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM.

Other matters

Statement of value added

We have also reviewed the statements of value added (DVA) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management, whose presentation on the interim financial information is required in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR, and considered as supplementary information by IFRS, which does not require this disclosure. 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 it is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the interim financial information taken as a whole.
