ITR – Quarterly Information Form – 03/31/2017 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO       Version : 1

Comments on the Company’s Performance

· Increase of 6.0% in the Company’s total billed volume (6.1% in water and 5.9% in sewage); and

· Bonus granted in 1Q16 amounting to R$ 153.8 million, within the Water Consumption Reduction Incentive Program ended in April 2016.

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$ 160.6 million in 1Q16.

3. Construction revenue

Construction revenue increased R$ 97.6 million or 15.6%, when compared to 1Q16. The variation was mainly due to higher investments in the municipalities served by the Company.

5.1. Salaries and payroll charges and Pension plan obligations

There was an increase of R$ 14.1 million in 1Q17, mainly due to:

·   Increase of R$ 36.1 million, mostly due to the 10.3% pay rise in May 2016 and the 1% impact related to the Career and Salary Plan since December 2016; and

·   Increase of R$ 2.2 million in expenses related to the Defined Contribution Plan (Sabesprev Mais), as a result of the migration of 3,572 participants of the Defined Benefit Plan (G1) in August 2016.

The above-mentioned increases were partially offset by the R$ 27.2 million decline in G0 Pension Plan and Defined Benefit Plan (G1) expenses, due to: (i) changes in the actuarial assumptions (interest rate); (ii) the migration of employees from the Defined Benefit Plan to the Defined Contribution Plan (in August 2016); and (iii) the beginning of payment of the actuarial deficit by employees as of December 2016, reducing the Company’s expenses.

5.2. Electricity

Electricity expenses totaled R$ 199.7 million in 1Q17, a decrease of R$ 40.7 million or 16.9% in comparison to the R$ 240.4 million in 1Q16. The main factors that contributed to this increase were:

· Average reduction of 17.4% in the free market tariffs, with an 21.2% increase in consumption;

· Average reduction of 27.3% in the grid market tariff (TUSD), with a 21.7% rise in consumption; and

· Average reduction of 14.0% in the regulated market tariffs, with a 10.2%.decrease in consumption.

In 1Q17, the regulated market accounted for 32.3% of the total electricity consumed by the Company, the free market accounted for 34.4% and the grid market accounted for 33.3% of total consumption.

Comments on the Company’s Performance

5.3. General expenses

General expenses decreased R$ 14.7 million, or 6.5%, totaling R$ 209.9 million in 1Q17, versus the R$ 224.6 million recorded in 1Q16, mainly due to the reduction of R$ 23.4 million in provisions for court proceedings in 1Q17, partially offset by a higher provision for the Municipal Fund for Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure, in the amount of R$ 10.9 million, as a result of the increase in revenues with the municipality of São Paulo.

5.4. Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased R$ 47.3 million or 16.6%, reaching R$ 332.0 million in 1Q17 in comparison to the R$ 284.7 million recorded in 1Q16, largely due to the beginning of operations of intangible assets, in the amount of R$ 2.1 billion.

5.5. Allowance for doubtful accounts

Increase of R$ 30.0 million, mainly resulting from:

·   Increase in default, causing a R$26.5 million impact; and

·   Receipt of non-recurring court-ordered debt payments amounting to R$14.4 million in 1Q16, especially from the city of Guarulhos.

This increase was partially offset by an upturn of R$ 10.8 million in the recovery of funds through agreements in 1Q17.

6.1.1. Financial expenses

Decrease of R$ 56.2 million, mainly due to the following events:

· Interest and charges on domestic loans and financing: reduction of R$ 30.4 million, mainly due to a decline in the debt balance following the early amortization of the 19th debenture issue in March 2016, the 10th issue in January 2017 and the 15th issue in February 2017;

ITR – Quarterly Information Form – 03/31/2017 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO Version : 1

Comments on the Company’s Performance

· Interest and charges on international loans and financing: decrease of R$ 15.4 million, mainly due to the 11% depreciation of the dollar against the real at the close of 1Q17 compared with the close of 1Q16; and

· Other financial expenses: reduction of R$ 10.4 million, due to lower provisioning for interest on court proceedings in 1Q17.

6.1.2. Financial income

Decrease of R$ 25.3 million, mainly due to the lower recognition of interest on installment agreements in 1Q17 compared with 1Q16.

6.2.1. Monetary and exchange rate variation on liabilities

The effect of monetary and currency variations in 1Q17 was R$ 333.3 million less than in 1Q16, mainly due to:

· Reduction of R$ 31.1 million in expenses with monetary variation on loans and financing, due to the lower variation in the IPCA in 1Q17 compared with 1Q16 (0.96% and 2.62%, respectively);

· Decrease of R$ 394.0 million in exchange variation on loans and financing, as a result of the lower depreciation of the dollar and the appreciation of the yen against the real in 1Q17 (-2.8% and +1.9%, respectively), versus devaluation of both currencies in 1Q16 (-8.9% and -2.4%, respectively); and

· Decline of R$ 29.6 million in other monetary variation expenses, chiefly due to the reduction in the provision for court proceedings in 1Q17.

6.2.2. Monetary and exchange rate variation on assets

Decrease of R$ 34.0 million, mainly due to the lower monetary restatement of judicial deposits in 1Q17.

7. Income tax and social contribution

Increase of R$ 21.4 million, mainly due to the upturn in operating revenue. This increase was partially offset by the worse financial result reported in the period, which was impacted by exchange rate oscillations.

Notes to the Quarterly 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 performs 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2017 (R$4,345 as of December 31, 2016).

As of March 31, 2017, 54 concession agreements (54 as of December 31, 2016) had expired and are being negotiated. From March 31, 2017 to 2030, 34 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 March 31, 2017, 281 program and services contracts were signed (281 contracts as of December 31, 2016).

As of March 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the underlying assets used in the 54 concessions of the municipalities under negotiation totaled R$6,605,835, accounting for 20.85% of the total, and the related gross revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 totaled R$458,053, accounting for 12.21% of the total.

The Company’s operations are concentrated in the municipality of São Paulo, which represents 52.86% of the gross revenues as of March 31, 2017 (52.83% as of March 31, 2016) and 46.90% of intangible assets (46.57% as of 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:

ITR – Quarterly Information Form – 03/31/2017 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO       Version : 1

Notes to the Quarterly 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 Vale do Ribeira, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2017 totaled R$76,086 (R$69,304 in the period ended March 31, 2016) and the intangible asset was R$301,243 as of March 31, 2017 (R$303,540 as of 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.

The 2014-2015 period presented the lowest rainfall and inflow ever seen in 85 years, especially in the reservoirs composing the Cantareira System. During the rainy season, from October 2015 to March 2016, and October 2016 to March 2017, rainfall in the region returned to the normal levels expected for the period.

In March 2017, the reservoirs of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region stored 1.5 trillion litters of treatment water, versus 1.2 trillion litters in March 2016 and 589 billion litters in March 2015, including the technical reserve. From December 2016 to May 2017, the Company was authorized to capture 31 m³/s from the Cantareira System, while in most part of 2015, the Company was authorized to capture 13.5 m³/s.

As a result of the normalization of the level of water available in the reservoirs to serve the population of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, the measures adopted during the water crisis were gradually eliminated and, since May 1, 2016, the Water Consumption Reduction Incentive Program effective since February 2014, and the Contingency Tariff, effective as of January 2015, were cancelled.

However, although the measures adopted in 2014 and 2015 to ensure water supply in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region were discontinued in 2016, billed water volume has not reached pre-crisis levels yet, which is a sign that consumer habits may have changed. Another factor that probably played a role in the decline of consumption was the slowdown in the Brazilian economy.

In March 2017, the water monthly production for the São Paulo Metropolitan Region averaged 62.1 m³/s, compared to 59.4 m³/s in March 2016, 51.3 m³/s in March 2015, 67.4 m³/s in March 2014 and 70.1 m³/s in March 2013, the year before the beginning of the water crisis.

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information

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.

The Company’s Management expects that with the improvement of water conditions and operating cash, in addition to the lines of credit available for investments, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities and not compromise its necessary investments.

The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2017.

3      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

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$5,609,025 as of March 31, 2017 (R$5,692,984 as of December 31, 2016). Below, the Company’s exposure to exchange risk:

ITR – Quarterly Information Form – 03/31/2017 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO        Version : 1

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information

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

1) Exchange rate changes, due to the 2.8% decrease in the US dollar, from R$3.2591 as of December 31, 2016 to R$3.1684 as of March 31, 2017. The US dollar-denominated debt accounts for 70.3% of foreign currency-denominated debts; and

2) Offset by the 1% increase in the Yen-denominated debt due to the 1.9% increase in the Yen, from R$0.02792 as of December 31, 2016 to R$0.028440 as of March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2017 would have been R$560,902 (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 Quarterly 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:

   
    March 31, 2017  December 31, 2016 
TR(i)    1,543,576  1,535,030 
CDI(ii)  844,391  1,082,228 
TJLP(iii)  1,463,516  1,326,631 
IPCA(iv)  1,700,613  1,697,452 
LIBOR (v)  2,801,168  2,906,999 
Interest and charges  82,999  142,644 
Total    8,436,263  8,690,984 
 
(i)  TR – Interest Benchmark Rate     
(ii)  CDI – (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário), an interbank deposit certificate 
(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 - LondonInterbank 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 March 31, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2017 before taxes would have been R$84,363 (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 and 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 March 31, 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 the reporting period. See additional information in Notes 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Notes to the Quarterly 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:

 
  March 31, 2017  December 31, 2016 
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits     
AA+(bra)  1,954,078  1,850,220 
AAA(bra)  29,522  35,452 
Other (*)  222  549 
  1,983,822  1,886,221 

 

(*)This category includes current accounts and investment funds in banks which have no credit rating information available.

The available credit rating information of the banks, as of March 31, 2017, in which the Company made deposit transactions and financial investments in domestic currency (R$ - domestic rating) during the period is as follows:

    
Banks  Fitch  Moody's  Standard Poor's 
Banco do Brasil S/A  AA+(bra)  Aa1.br  - 
Banco Santander Brasil S/A  AAA(bra)  Aaa.br  brAA- 
Brazilian Federal Savings Bank  AA+(bra)  Aa1.br  brAA- 
Banco Bradesco S/A  AAA(bra)  Aa1.br  brAA- 
Itaú Unibanco Holding S/A  AAA(bra)  Aa1.br  brAA- 

 

(c) Liquidity risk

The Company's liquidity is primarily reliant upon cash provided by operating activities, borrowings 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 March 31, 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.

ITR – Quarterly Information Form – 03/31/2017 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO      Version : 1

Notes to the Quarterly 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.

 
  March 31, 2017  December 31, 2016 
Total borrowings and financing (Note 15)  11,741,469  11,964,143 
(-) Cash and cash equivalents (Note 6)  (1,983,822)  (1,886,221) 
Net debt  9,757,647  10,077,922 
Total equity  16,093,573  15,419,211 
Total capital  25,851,220  25,497,133 
Leverage ratio  38%  40% 

 

As of March 31, 2017, the leverage ratio decreased to 38% from the 40% as of December 31, 2016, due to the decreased balance of foreign currency-denominated borrowings and financing as a result of the payment of debt-related installments in the period, the 2.8% depreciation of the US dollar and the profit from the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

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 March 31, 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, related parties balances, 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.

Other receivables  237,068  237,068  167,369  167,369 

 

Additionally, SABESP has financial instrument assets receivables from related parties, in the amount of R$855,946 as of March 31, 2017 (R$871,709 as of December 31, 2016), which were calculated in accordance with the conditions negotiated’ between related parties. The conditions and additional information referring to these financial instruments are disclosed in Note 9 to this interim financial information and Note 10 to the Annual Financial Statements of December 31, 2016. Part of this balance, totaling R$780,035 (R$788,180 as of December 31, 2016), refers to reimbursement of additional retirement and pension plan - G0 and is indexed by IPCA plus simple interest of 0.5% p.m. This interest rate approximates that one practiced by federal government bonds (NTN-b) with terms similar to those of related-party transactions.

Financial Liabilities

     
  March 31, 2017  December 31, 2016 
  Carrying    Carrying   
  amount  Fair value  amount  Fair value 
Borrowings and financing  11,741,469  12,444,709  11,964,143  11,776,178

Public-Private Partnership – PPP  2,427,189  2,427,189  2,249,418  2,249,418 

 

The criteria adopted to obtain the fair values of borrowings and financing, in preparing the interim financial information as of March 31, 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 mentioned above, as of March 31, 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$955,334 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 with 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 payments, adjusted for inflation, as of the execution date of this instrument, by the IPCA or on any other index that may replace it, by the last business day of October of each fiscal year, with (i) the first of such annual payments due up to the last business day of October 2017 and (ii) the last payment due up to the last business day of October 2042; and

ITR – Quarterly Information Form – 03/31/2017 - CIA SANEAMENTO BÁSICO ESTADO SÃO PAULO Version : 1

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information

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

On April 11, 2016, the Company was served with lawsuits 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.

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information

As a result of the renegotiations, the principal, in the amount of R$30,029, and interest, in the amount of R$17,818, that used to be recognized in current assets, under “other receivables”, were reclassified to the same group of noncurrent assets until new payment conditions are agreed upon.

The State Government enacted the State Law nº 14,687/12, creating the pro-connection program, destined to financially subsidize the execution of household branches necessary to connect to the sewage collecting networks, in low income households which agreed to adhere to the program. The program expenditures, except for indirect costs, construction margin and borrowing costs are financed with 80% of funds deriving from the State Government and the remaining 20% invested by SABESP, which is also liable for the execution of works. As of March 31, 2017, the program total amount was R$79,255 (R$79,274 as of December 31, 2016), R$5,554 (R$6,148 as of December 31, 2016) recorded in balances receivable from related parties, the amount of R$34,896 (R$34,915 as of December 31, 2016) recorded in the group of intangible assets and R$38,805 (R$38,211 as of December 31, 2016) reimbursed by GESP.

10 Water National Agency - ANA

The Company has agreements executed within the scope of the Hydrographic Basin Depollution Program (PRODES), also known as "Treated Sewage Purchase Program".

This program does not finance works or equipment, remunerates by results achieved, i.e., by effectively treated sewage. In this program, the Water National Agency (ANA) makes available funds, which are restricted to a specific current account and applied in investment funds at the Brazilian Federal Savings Bank (CEF), until the fulfillment of treated sewage volume is evidenced, as well as, the reduction of polluting cargoes of each agreement.

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 of March 31, 2017, the balances of assets and liabilities were R$82,676 (R$81,221 as of December 31, 2016), and the liabilities are recorded under "other liabilities" of noncurrent liabilities.

The Company holds interest in certain Special Purpose Entities (SPE). Although SABESP has no majority shares of its investees, the shareholders’ agreement provides for the power of veto in certain management issues, with no ability, however, to use such power of veto in a way to affect returns over investments, indicating participating shared control (joint venture – CPC 19 (R2)).

The Company holds interest valued by the equity method.

(Convenience Translation into English from the Original Previously Issued in Portuguese)

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 March 31, 2017, comprising the balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 and the related statement of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-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 three-month period ended March 31, 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.
