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

 

(d)  Judicial Payment Order

 

The Company has judicial payment order 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 judicial payment order, are not recognized due to uncertainties regarding their realization.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has judicial payment order issued in its favor, currently totaling R$ 2,967,308 (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 financial statements.

 

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’s judicial payment orders are as follows:

Additionally, the Company negotiated judicial payment order 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 9, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the adherence to the Notice for agreement 1/2024 from the Municipality of São Paulo (PMSP), whose adherence deadline ended on June 30, 2024. The objective of said Notice was the presentation of direct agreement proposals by holders of judicial payment orders.

 

For the adherence to be effective, approval by the Judicial Payment Order Conciliation Chamber of the Municipal Attorney General Office (PGM) and other subsequent procedures according to the Notice would be required. SABESP could 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 TJSP), as provided in the Notice.

 

As of October 21, 2024, the Judicial Payment Orders Conciliation Chamber of the Attorney General Office of the Municipality of São Paulo approved part of the agreement proposals submitted by SABESP for the settlement of registered warrant credits under the Call Notice for agreement 1/2024.

 

The restated amounts of the judicial payment orders, object to the approved agreements, total R$ 701 million. A discount rate will be applied to these amounts based on the chronological order of payment, as outlined in item 1 of the Call Notice, and according to the calculations to be carried out by DEPRE TJSP, as follows: (i) 20% for credits from 2009 and 2010; (ii) 25% for credits from 2011 and 2012; (iii) 30% for credits from 2013 and 2014; (iv) 35% for credits from 2015 and 2019; and (v) 40% for credits from 2020 and 2024.

 

In late January 2025, the Municipal Government of São Paulo raised objections to the calculations made by DEPRE/TJSP, contesting the income tax percentage used, both in the tax base and the applied rate. As a result, given the uncertainty generated by the objection, it is not possible to identify a reasonable expectation for determining the amount to be realized. Therefore, no entry was recorded until December 31, 2024.

 

In the first three months of 2025, the Company received R$55.399 million related to this agreement.
