· Higher overtime expense, reaching R$7.5 million; and

· Increase in expenses with meal voucher and food supplies basket, reaching R$5.0 million.

5.2. Treatment materials

Expenses with services, totaling R$422.2 million, increased by R$45.1 million or 12.0% over the R$377.1 million in 1Q18. The increase was mainly due the :

5.5. General expenses

A decrease of R$54.5 million or 22.1%, totaling R$191.7 million in 1Q19, over R$246.2 million in 1Q18, mainly due to reversals of lawsuits, totaling R$45.9 million, due to changes in expected loss.

Page 5 of 11

· Increase of R$5.8 million in interest and charges on foreign loans and financing, mainly due to the higher US Dollar appreciation in 1Q19 (0.6%), when compared to the appreciation in 1Q18 (0.5%); and

· Increase of R$89.3 million in other financial expenses, mainly due to: (i) higher recognition of interest related to the Public-Private Partnership contracts in 1Q19, reaching R$53.4 million, due to the full start-up of operations of the São Lourenço Production System, in July 2018; and (ii) higher recognition of interest on lawsuits, totaling R$32.4 million.

7. Income tax and Social contribution

The increase of R$35.7 million was due to the higher taxable income in 1Q19, mainly affected by the increase in operating revenue, mostly due to the beginning of the operation in the city of Guarulhos; and mitigated by the increase in costs with electricity and salaries.
