Highlights

The Company recorded a net income of R$ 1,081.1 million in 3Q22, compared to the R$ 468.6 million reported in 3Q21, an increase of R$ 612.5 million (+130.7%).

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$ 2,136.2 million, up by R$ 346.9 million (+19.4%) over the R$ 1,789.3 million reported in 3Q21.

Revenue from sanitation services

Increase of R$ 727.5 million, impacted by: (i) a tariff adjustment of 12.8% since May 2022; (ii) a 1.6% increase in total billed volume; and (iii) a higher average tariff due to the increase in the billed volume in the non-residential categories.

Costs, administrative and selling expenses (excluding construction costs)

Growth of R$ 377.3 million, mainly due to the: (i) R$ 113.3 million increase in services; (ii) R$ 83.5 million increase with salaries, payroll charges, benefits, and pension plan obligations; and (iii) R$ 67.8 million increase with treatment supplies.

Impacts from the exchange variation

Exchange variation expenses on borrowings and financing fell by R$ 279.9 million, due to the lower appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the depreciation of the Japanese Yen against the Brazilian real in 3Q22, compared to the appreciation reported in 3Q21 for both currencies, as shown in the table below:

3Q22 3Q21
Debt in foreign currency - R$ million 2,617.6 3,242.5

Salaries, payroll charges and benefits, and Pension plan obligations

The R$ 83.5 million increase (+12.3%) recorded in 3Q22 was mainly due to:

· R$ 68.1 million for the average salary adjustment of 12.9% in May 2022 and the application of 1% referring to the Career and Salary Plan in February 2022, partially offset by the 2.2% decline in the average number of employees; and

· Increase in expenses with overtime, of R$ 9.1 million.

General supplies

Increase of R$ 28.5 million (+ 35.9%), mainly due to the:

Field: Page; Sequence: 6

Earnings Results 3Q22

Field: /Page

· R$ 23.2 million for the maintenance of water and sewage systems, connections and networks; and

· R$ 1.1 million with furniture up-keeping.

Treatment supplies

Increase of R$ 67.8 million (+82.6%), mainly due to higher product prices and higher use of algaecides, coagulants, and disinfectants in several Water Treatment Plants to maintain the quality of raw water.

The prices of several materials used in the treatment process of water and sewage, such as aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride, and aluminum polychloride, were impacted by the international market.

Services

Service expenses totaled R$ 635.3 million, an increase of R$ 113.3 million (+21.7%) over the R$ 522.0 million recorded in 3Q21. The main increases were:

· R$ 21.7 million in technical services, mainly consulting, maintenance, and IT support;

· R$ 21.1 million with paving and replacing of sidewalks;

· R$ 17.4 million with customer service channels;

· R$ 15.4 million for the maintenance of water and sewage systems;

· R$ 10.4 million with the transportation of waste generated in the Water Treatment Plants and Sewage Treatment Plants; and

· R$ 8.7 million with surveillance.

Electricity

Electricity expenses totaled R$ 359.3 million in 3Q22, a decrease of R$ 15.7 million (-4.2%) over the R$ 375.0 million recorded in 3Q21. Of the total, the Free Market Tariffs (ACL) accounted for 54.1% of total expenses in 3Q22 (53.2% in 3Q21) while the Regulated Market Tariffs (ACR) accounted for 45.9% (46.8% in 3Q21).

The main factors that contributed to this variation were:

· An average reduction of 1.9% in ACL cost (includes Grid Market Tariffs - TUSD), with no significant variation in consumption; and

· An average decrease of 9.0% in ACR tariffs, with no significant variation in consumption.

Year-over-year, electricity tariffs were impacted, among others, by: (i) the red tariff flag in 3Q21; and (ii) the lower tax burden on electricity bills in 3Q22, as a result of the Complementary Law 194/2022.

General expenses

Increase of R$ 34.1 million (+10.4%), totaling R$ 361.5 million in 3Q22, compared to the R$ 327.4 million recorded in 3Q21, mainly from: (i) higher provision for transfer to the Municipal Funds for Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure, of R$ 27.1 million; and (ii) increase in expenses with lawsuit in 3Q22, of R$ 7.3 million.

Expenses with municipal transfers totaled R$ 193.0 million in 3Q22, compared to the R$ 165.9 million reported in 3Q21 (+16.3%), mainly due to higher operating revenue reported in 3Q22.

Depreciation and amortization

The R$ 48.8 million increase (+8.6%) was mainly due to the beginning of operations of intangible assets, totaling R$ 4.8 billion.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Increase of R$ 17.2 million, from R$ 118.6 million in 3Q21 to R$ 135.8 million in 3Q22, due to higher provisioning arising from the increase in delinquency in 3Q22.

The main impacts resulted from:

· Increase of R$ 103.9 million in interest and charges on domestic loans and financing, mainly due to: (i) higher interest on debentures, of R$ 68.3 million, from the proceeds of the 29th and 30th issuances; and (ii) a rise in the average DI rate (from 7.07% in 3Q21 to 13.47% in 3Q22), which impacted interest on domestic loans;

· Decrease of R$ 15.1 million in other financial expenses, mostly due to higher recognition of interest on lawsuits in 3Q21; and

· Increase of R$ 68.7 million in financial revenues, mainly on financial investments in 3Q22, as a result of the higher average DI rate.

The effect of net monetary and exchange variations in 3Q22 was R$ 661.3 million, lower than the figure reported in 3Q21, especially due to:

Field: Page; Sequence: 8

Earnings Results 3Q22

Field: /Page

· R$ 66.7 million decrease in monetary variations on loans and financing, due to the decrease in the Amplified Consumer Price Index (IPCA) from 3.02% in 3Q21 to -1.32% in 3Q22;

· R$ 279.9 million decrease in exchange variations on loans and financing, due to the lower appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the depreciation of the Yen against the Real in 3Q22 (3.2% and -3.2%, respectively), when compared to the appreciation recorded in both currencies in 3Q21 (8.7% and 8.3%, respectively);

· Decrease of R$ 25.5 million in other monetary variations, mainly on lawsuits, of R$ 21.4 million; and

· Increase of R$ 289.2 million in monetary and exchange variations on assets, mostly due to the recognition of R$ 324.5 million referring to the monetary adjustment on the São Paulo State Government (GESP) Agreement 2015 in 3Q22, primarily resulting from the judicial order prohibiting the transfer of the reservoirs of the Alto Tietê Production System.

  1. Income tax and social contribution

The R$ 319.3 million increase in 3Q22 was mainly due to:

· Higher net operating revenue, of R$ 833.8 million;

· Higher costs and expenses, of R$ 537.7 million;

· Positive exchange variation, of R$ 279.9 million, from an expense of R$ 252.6 million in 3Q21 to a revenue of R$ 27.3 million in 3Q22; and

· Monetary adjustment on the GESP Agreement 2015, of R$ 324.5 million.
