Giuliano Ajeje's questions to Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo - SABESP (SBS) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Giuliano Ajeje from UBS Group questioned the feasibility of SABESP's universalization CapEx target, noting that only half of the 1 million new sewage connections for 2024-2025 were delivered by Q2. He asked if the remainder would be delivered in large blocks and which projects were critical for completion in H2 2025. He also requested more detail on the reduction in materials costs.
Answer
CEO Carlos Augusto Leone Piani confirmed the sewage connections will be delivered in bulk towards the end of the year, driven by 15 key projects in the northern metropolitan region, and expressed confidence in meeting the target. CFO Daniel Szlak attributed the reduction in materials costs to standardizing operational processes and enhancing procurement capabilities, which are less constrained post-privatization. Piani also suggested the current quarterly CapEx run-rate of approximately BRL 3.6 billion is a reasonable expectation going forward.
