Arthur Pereira's questions to Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo - SABESP (SBS) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Arthur Pereira of J.P. Morgan questioned the tariff review timeline, particularly the lack of a public hearing process before the final disclosure in December, raising concerns about potential friction with consumer groups. He also asked for details on the expected financial compensation for CapEx that was not executed during the previous tariff cycle.
Answer
CEO Carlos Augusto Leone Piani clarified that the provided timeline adheres to the concession contract and that a public hearing for the new RAB evaluation methodology is planned, though slightly behind schedule. He also suggested he would advocate for making the final RAB number public in September. CFO Daniel Szlak confirmed that compensation for non-executed CapEx is a component of the review but declined to provide an estimate, stating it should be a technical calculation. Piani added that non-executed CapEx is the largest part of this adjustment.
