2. Gross operating revenue

The gross operating revenue related to the sanitation services, in the amount of R$ 3,280.8 million, which does not consider construction revenue, increased by R$ 251.5 million or 8.3%, when compared to R$ 3,029.3 million in 1Q17.

The main factors that led to this increase were:

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

· 2.1% increase in total billed volume, 2.1% in water and 2.0% in sewage.

The increase caused by the above-mentioned facts was offset by the recognition of higher estimated losses on wholesale revenue in 1Q18, in the amount of R$ 36.1 million, due to lower payment received in the period, mainly from the municipality of Guarulhos.

3. Construction revenue

Construction revenue decreased by R$ 75.7 million or 10.5%, when compared to the previous year. The variation is mainly due to the lower investments in the municipalities served by the Company.

4. Billed volume

5.1. Salaries and payroll charges and Pension plan obligations

In 1Q18, there was an increase of R$ 41.6 million or 7.1%, chiefly due to the following factors:

Page 4 of 12

5.3 Services

Growth of R$ 94.3 million or 33.3%, due to the following factors:

· Higher estimate of expenses, in the amount of R$ 47.5 million, due to an increase in several services contracted in 1Q18, mainly in water and sewage connections and network maintenance;

Electricity expenses totaled R$ 221.9 million in 1Q18, an increase of R$ 22.2 million or 11.1% compared to R$ 199.7 million in 1Q17. This variation was mainly due to:

· Average increase of 0.8% in the free market tariffs ( ACL - Ambiente de Contratação Livre ), with an increase of 13.4% in consumption;

5.5. General expenses

Increase of R$ 36.3 million or 17.3%, totaling R$ 246.2 million in 1Q18, against R$ 209.9 million in 1Q17, due to the following factors:

· Higher provision for transfer to the Municipal Fund of Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure, in the amount of R$ 17.2 million, due to the increase in revenue obtained with the municipality of São Paulo;

Decrease of R$ 1.7 million, mainly due to the following factors:

· Increase of R$ 13.4 million in interest and charges on domestic loans and financing, mainly due to the lower capitalization of interest in works in progress in 1Q18, when compared to the capitalization recorded in 1Q17;

· Increase of R$ 14.4 million in interest and charges on international loans and financing, mainly due to the appreciation of the US dollar against the real in 1Q18, compared to the devaluation in 1Q17 (0.5% and -2.8% respectively), and higher appreciation of the yen against the real in 1Q18, when compared to the appreciation in 1Q17 (6.3% and 1.9%, respectively); and

· Decrease of R$ 27.2 million in other financial expenses, largely due to the lower provisioning of interest on lawsuits in 1Q18.

The effect on the net monetary/exchange rate variation 1Q18 was R$ 199.4 million higher than in 1Q17, with highlight to the R$ 201.3 million increase in the exchange rate variation on loans and financing, due to the appreciation of the dollar against the real in 1Q18, compared to the devaluation in 1Q17 (0.5% and -2.8%, respectively), and higher appreciation of the yen against the real in 1Q18, when compared to the appreciation registered in 1Q17 (6.3% and 1.9%, respectively).
