The Company does not have customers individually representing 10% or more of its total revenues.

 

(d)Registered warrants

 

The Company has registered warrants issued as a result of final and unappealable lawsuits for the collection of unpaid water and sewage bills from public entities. These bills are considered allowance for doubtful accounts ('PECLD') in their entirety, and the updated values of said bills, calculated according to the respective registered warrants, are not recognized due to uncertainties regarding their realization.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has registered warrants issued in its favor, currently totaling R$ 3,232,377 (R$ 3,085,265 as of December 31, 2023), which, as mentioned above, are fully provisioned at their original value and do not have their respective updates recognized in the quarterly information.

 

The reversal of the PECLD for the original bills and their update are recognized when uncertainties regarding their realization are mitigated, i.e. when the realization value becomes determinable due to the predictability of the commencement of its receipt or when negotiated with third parties.

 

The Company did not negotiate its registered warrants in the current period or in the comparative year and period, and there are no ongoing negotiations, as follows:

Additionally, the Company negotiated registered warrants for overdue bills with the municipalities of Guarulhos, Santo André, and Mauá in previous fiscal years, which are currently suspended as they serve as collateral for the fulfillment of contracts entered into with the municipalities.

 

As of May 09, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the adherence to the notice for agreement 1/2024 from the São Paulo Municipal Government (PMSP), whose adherence deadline ends on June 30, 2024. The objective of said Notice is the presentation of direct agreement proposals by holders of registered warrants.

 

For the adherence to be effective, approval by the Registered Warrants Conciliation Chamber of the Municipal Attorney General Office (PGM) and other subsequent procedures according to the Notice are required, the accuracies of which are still considered uncertain. SABESP may withdraw the proposal at any time, provided it is before the payment made by the Board of Registered Warrants Executions and Calculations of the São Paulo State Court of Justice (Depre), as provided in the Notice.

 

The Company does not expect changes in the recognition method of the municipality of São Paulo's registered warrants until such adherence becomes effective.
