Revenue from sanitation services

Increase of R$ 361.0 million, impacted by: (i) tariff adjustment; and (ii) higher average tariff due to the increase in the billed volume in the Commercial and Public categories.

 

Costs, administrative and selling expenses (excluding construction costs)

Growth of R$ 286.0 million, mainly due to the: (i) R$ 56.6 million increase in allowances for doubtful accounts; (ii) R$ 53.1 million increase in electricity expenses; (iii) R$ 48.4 million increase in treatment supplies; (iv) R$ 47.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and (v) R$ 46.7 million increase in expenses with salaries, payroll charges, benefits, and pension plan obligations.

 

Impacts from the exchange variation

Exchange variation expenses on borrowings and financing fell by R$ 731.8 million, due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and the Japanese Yen against the Brazilian real in 1Q22, compared to the appreciation reported in 1Q21, as shown in the following table:

  1Q22 1Q21

Salaries and payroll charges and Pension plan obligations

Increase of R$ 46.7 million (+7.5%) in 1Q22, mainly due to the 7.8% salary adjustment in May 2021 and the application of 1% referring to the Career and Salary Plan in February 2022, partially offset by the 2.3% decline in the average number of employees; with a net effect of R$ 51.6 million.

 

Treatment supplies

Increase of R$ 48.4 million (+48.9%), mainly due to the higher use of algaecides, coagulants, and disinfectants in several Water Treatment Stations to maintain the quality of raw water, as well as to the increase in product prices.

 

Services

Service expenses totaled R$ 512.1 million, an increase of R$ 8.2 million (+1.6%) over the R$ 503.9 million recorded in 1Q21. The main increases were:

·R$ 14.1 million with surveillance;
·R$ 11.0 million with customer service channels; and

Electricity

Electricity expenses totaled R$ 412.0 million in 1Q22, up by R$ 53.1 million (+14.8%) over the R$ 358.9 million recorded in 1Q21. In 1Q22, the Free Market Tariffs (ACL) accounted for 52.0% of total expenses (51.5% in 1Q21) while the Regulated Market Tariffs (ACR) accounted for 48.0% (48.5% in 1Q21).

The main factors that contributed to this variation were:

·Average increase of 1.7% in ACL prices (includes Grid Market Tariffs - TUSD), with a 0.8% rise in consumption; and
·Average increase of 37.9% in ACR tariffs, with a 6.9% decrease in consumption.

 

General expenses

Increase of R$ 20.2 million (+7.8%), totaling R$ 279.1 million in 1Q22, compared to the R$ 258.9 million recorded in 1Q21, mainly from the higher provision for transfer to the Municipal Funds for Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure, of R$ 14.2 million, resulting from the increase in revenue and the number of municipalities with expected transfers.

Expenses with municipal transfers totaled R$ 163.0 million in 1Q22, compared to the R$ 148.8 million reported in 1Q21.

 

Depreciation and amortization

The R$ 47.6 million increase (+8.8%) was due to the beginning of operations of intangible assets, totaling R$ 4.4 billion.

Earnings Results

1Q22

 

The main impacts in the “financial expenses, net of income” line resulted from:

·Increase of R$ 85.0 million in interest and charges on domestic borrowings and financing, mainly due to: (i) higher interest on debentures, of R$ 52.0 million, mainly from the proceeds of the 28th, 29th, and 30th issuances; and (ii) rise in the average DI rate (from 2.02% in 1Q21 to 10.27% in 1Q22), which impacted interest on several domestic borrowings;
·Increase of R$ 13.0 million in other financial expenses, mainly due to the adjusted present value of receivables and Performance Contracts; and
·Increase of R$ 80.8 million in financial revenues, mainly on financial investments in 1Q22, as a result of the increase in the amount invested and the average DI rate.

The effect of net monetary and exchange variations in 1Q22 was R$ 707.8 million, lower than the amount reported in 1Q21, especially due to:

·R$ 18.3 million increase in monetary variations on borrowings and financing, due to the rise in the Amplified Consumer Price Index (IPCA) (from 2.05% in 1Q21 to 3.20% in 1Q22), and the 29th debenture issuance;
·R$ 731.8 million decrease in exchange variations on borrowings and financing, due to the: (i) depreciation of the U.S. dollar and Yen against the Real in 1Q22 (-15.1% and -19.5%, respectively), when compared to the appreciations recorded in 1Q21 (9.6% and 2.2%, respectively);
·R$ 12.5 million increase in other monetary variations, due to: (i) higher monetary variation on asset leases (Leases), of R$ 6.1 million, due to the rise in the quarter in the Consumer Price Index (IPC); and (ii) higher monetary variation on lawsuits, of R$ 6.3 million; and
·R$ 6.8 million increase in monetary and exchange variation gains, mainly due to higher adjustments on the agreement with the São Paulo State Government - GESP, of R$ 6.1 million, given the rise in the IPCA.

 

7.Income tax and social contribution

The R$ 244.9 million increase in 1Q22 was mainly due to:

·Higher net operating revenue, of R$ 193.0 million;
·Positive exchange variation, of R$ 731.8 million, from an expense of R$ 137.6 million in 1Q21 to a revenue of R$ 594.2 million in 1Q22; and
·Higher costs and expenses, of R$ 286.0 million.
