FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - São Paulo, May 7, 2015 – Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), one of Brazil’s leading homebuilders, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

            

 

GAFISA RELEASES
1Q15 RESULTS

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS

 

 

The first quarter of 2015 marked a turning point in Gafisa’s profitability. We are pleased to report that consolidated net income totaled R$31.6 million, of which the Tenda segment contributed R$11.4 million thanks to the increasing contribution of more profitable projects launched under the New Model. The Gafisa segment achieved net income of R$20.2 million, driven by the sale of inventory, cost reductions and equity income from Alphaville. This achievement is the result of the successful execution of our turnaround plan, which is based on three strategic pillars: improved operating efficiency, risk management and capital discipline.

The results are aligned with the Company’s strategy of improving operating performance and increasing profitability, despite challenges in the broader operating environment. These include interest rate, inflation and exchange rate movements which are directly impacting both consumer and investor confidence.

Within this context, we would like to highlight a substantial year-over-year increase in margin due to the solid performance of Gafisa’s and Tenda’s projects. The consolidated adjusted gross margin reached 34.5% in the first quarter, which is approximately 4 percentage points higher than the previous year. The Gafisa segment maintained stable results, with an adjusted gross margin of 36.9% in the quarter. At the same time, the increasing contribution of newer and more profitable projects launched under the New Model within Tenda led the segment to record an adjusted gross margin of 30.0%, which is considerably higher than 1Q14.

In keeping with the shift to a more conservative strategy amid greater risk aversion in the market, the Gafisa segment launched only one project during the quarter. Instead, we focused our efforts on reducing inventory levels, which accounted for approximately 92% of net pre-sales of R$179.8 million in the quarter. It is also worth highlighting strong delivery volumes in the Gafisa segment during the period: totaling 1,847 units and R$569.5 million in PSV, which equates to almost half of full year 2014 deliveries. The result benefited the level of transfers, which reached R$198.0 million, but negatively impacted cancellations, which reached R$124.8 million in 1Q15.

We ended the first quarter having achieved a 9.8%, or R$2.1 billion, reduction in inventory in the Gafisa segment. As a result, just 12.6% relates to completed projects. Of this amount, 44%, or R$115 million, pertains to

discontinued locations. The performance of inventory sales contributed to the sales speed, which was 8.0% in 1Q15.

Amid the likely continuation of current economic conditions, we expect to take a conservative approach to launch activity throughout the remainder of the year. We will seek to balance the placement of new products in the market, prioritizing those with more liquidity, in order to achieve satisfactory sales and profitability levels.

Turning to the Tenda segment, we entered into 2015 with the intention of winding-down our remaining legacy projects. Accordingly, there are only 2 construction sites where work remains underway, and these should be delivered in the coming months. Our focus is on increasing the segment’s scale through higher launch volumes under the New Model. In 1Q15, 6 projects/phases were launched, totaling R$238.3 million, located in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Pernambuco.

One of the most important highlights of the quarter in the Tenda segment was the strong level of sales speed achieved. The first quarter result of 23.3% reflected greater product availability after two quarters with high volume of launches, strong demand in the low income segment and the strong reduction in the volume of dissolutions observed during the period. As a result, net pre-sales increased significantly, totaling R$243.5 million, the highest level since the 4Q10.

Tenda delivered 6 projects during the quarter, representing 1,687 units and R$216.3 million in PSV, of which 50% (739 units, or R$102.3 million) were under the New Model.

The Tenda segment’s solid operating performance positively impacted its financial result, with adjusted gross income reaching R$53.8 million in 1Q15. The adjusted gross margin remained in the range of 28-30%, as it has since 2Q14.

Tenda has continued its efforts to achieve greater economies of scale by increasing launches and implementing strategies designed to ensure strong sales speed. The evolution in recent operating results in the last three quarters reinforces our confidence in the New Model.

On a consolidated basis, Gafisa and Tenda launched R$313.6 million in 1Q15, with net pre-sales of R$423.3 million. Adjusted gross profit was R$179.3 million, with margin of 34.5% in the quarter.

We are focused on achieving greater efficiency and productivity over the course of the business cycle, both in Gafisa and Tenda. In terms of selling and administrative expenses, the Gafisa segment achieved a 16.5% reduction on a year-over-year basis and a 21.7% decline compared with the fourth quarter of 2014. In the Tenda segment, the decrease was 9.6% y-o-y and 21.6% compared to 4Q14.

As a result of these initiatives, consolidated net income for the quarter was a positive result of R$31.6 million, consisting of net income of R$20.2 million from Gafisa and R$11.4 million at Tenda.

At the end of March 2015, the Net Debt / Shareholder’s Equity ratio reached 50.0%, slightly higher than the 47.1% registered in the previous quarter. Excluding financing for projects, the Net Debt / Shareholder’s Equity ratio was negative 15.7%. In the 1Q15, due to a higher volume of landbank acquisitions at Tenda, the Company recorded operating cash generation of R$15.1 million, with cash consumption of R$69.8 million.

Work related to the potential separation of the Gafisa and Tenda business units is continuing, with the goal of meeting the conditions deemed necessary for implementation of the plan. Since the beginning of 2014, a number of steps have already been completed, while some of the actions are still underway, including, for example, defining the appropriate capital structure for each of the business units. Taking into consideration that this is a necessary step in the separation process, it is still not possible to determine when the potential separation will be concluded, with the possibility that it could extend into 2016.

Finally, we would like to highlight our satisfaction with the evolution of the business cycles at both Gafisa and Tenda. In recent years, both companies have strengthened and improved their operating and financial cycles, positioning them well for the challenges facing the sector in 2015. The Company has maintained its focus on achieving superior operating performance and continues to be guided, at all times, by capital discipline, the achievement of higher profitability and the generation of value for its shareholders and other stakeholders.

Solid first quarter revenue performance reflects strong revenues from inventory sales, which represented 92.0% of net sales in the first quarter. In addition, equity income at Alphaville increased to R$16.9 million, versus a result of R$6.4 million which was not recorded in 4Q14. Another point worth highlighting is the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, which were 16.5% less than 1Q14 and 21.7% less than 4Q14. This reflects ongoing efforts in the Gafisa segment to increase efficiencies and improve cost management.

The adjusted gross margin ended the quarter at 36.9%, returning to the average levels presented in previous quarters, due to the absence of non-recurring items that impacted the gross margin in the previous quarter. These profitability levels ratify the equilibrium and stability of the gross margin in the Gafisa segment, observed since the beginning of 2013, and the solid performance of its projects, resulting from the continuous evolution of the Company's business cycle.

Net Income

Net income for the period was R$20.2 million, compared to a loss of R$2.3 million in the year ago period. Excluding the R$17.0 million in equity income from Alphaville, the Gafisa segment’s net income in the 1Q15 was R$3.2 million, higher than R$ 1.1 million recorded in 1Q14.

The first quarter of the year was marked by the continued evolution of Tenda’s operational cycle, supported by an increase in the number of launches in the segment and higher net sales, as a result of the significant reduction in cancellations since the implementation of changes in the sales process (August/2014). As a result, the financial results of the Tenda segment improved significantly.

There was a strong increase in adjusted gross profit in the quarter, reaching R$53.8 million in 1Q15. In addition, the adjusted gross margin remained stable between 28 - 30%, which is in line with the range observed since the second quarter of 2014. This reflects the operational consolidation of projects executed under the New Model, which have demonstrated improved performance and profitability, as well as the decreasing contribution of legacy projects in the Tenda segment's revenue mix.

Furthermore, as observed in recent quarters, adjustments to the expense structure also benefited the quarter’s results. General and administrative expenses decreased 22.1% compared to the prior year, mainly due to the reduced operational complexity of the segment, the reduction in the number of legacy projects and reversal of the remaining bonus provision for 2014. Importantly, the Tenda segment achieved better cost management despite an increase in the number of launches and gross sales of 31.5% and 22.4%, respectively.

Net Income

As a result of the above cost reductions and the increased contribution of more profitable projects launched under the New Mode, Tenda returned to profitability for the first time since 2Q11 (this excludes the 4Q13, which was impacted by the sale of stake in Alphaville). The Tenda segment achieved net income of R$11.4 million in 1Q15, compared with net losses of R$28.8 million in 4Q14 and R$37.5 million in 1Q14.

RECENT EVENTS

UPDATED STATUS OF THE SPIN-OFF PROCESS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Since an evaluation of the potential separation of the GafIsa and Tenda business units commenced in February 2014, a variety of activities have been executed in order to make the two business units independent of one another, from both an operational perspective as well as a capital structure perspective. We highlight the following actions that have already been completed: (i) separation of the administrative structures, with implementation of the changes required to processes and systems, (ii) definition of policies and corporate governance, (iii) preparation of Tenda for having its shares traded in the market, and (iv) performance of due diligence and studies of the various impacts the separation could have on operational, organizational, financial and market-related aspects of the Companies. 

Definition of the capital structure is one of the processes that is still ongoing, and the Company continues to work with financial institutions in order to achieve the conditions deemed necessary for the capital structure model, considering the business cycles of each of the business units.

As communicated in a Material Fact released to the market on April 29, these discussions are ongoing and are taking longer than had been expected initially. As a result, considering that this definition is a necessary step in the separation process, it is not yet possible to determine when the potential separation will be concluded with precision, and it is possible that the process could extend into 2016.

Additionally, in the same Material Fact, the Company informed the market that it had been contacted by groups interested in evaluating the potential acquisition of an equity stake in Gafisa and Tenda, either together or separately. At this time, no proposals have been accepted or any contracts entered into by the Companies, with the exception of confidentiality agreements due to requests for information by the interested parties involved in these studies. The Administrations of Gafisa and Tenda, in accordance with their fiduciary responsibilities, will evaluate any proposals that could result in the creation of value for the Companies and will communicate to their shareholders and the market in general any evolution in these discussions through presentation of a formal proposal.

These discussions have no impact on the work related to the potential separation of Gafisa and Tenda, the continuity of the Companies’ business plans and current initiatives targeting the creation of value already in progress, which seek to maximize shareholder returns while improving financial performance.

Reaffirming our commitment to our shareholders, since the end of 2013, through the variety of buyback programs offered during the period, we have acquired 63.2 million shares. Of this amount, 57.5 million, representing 15.2% of total shares issued by the Company, have already been cancelled. In 1Q15, through the old buyback program, the Company acquired 10.9 million shares, which amounted to disbursements of R$22.1 million. Furthermore, the Company started a new share buyback program, which began in February of this year, with a limit of up to 27 million common shares. When added to the 10.8 million shares currently held in treasury, the total corresponds to approximately 10% of the total common shares issued by the Company.

The Company will keep its shareholders and the market informed of any developments related to the subjects mentioned above.

The Gafisa segment’s 1Q15 gross pre-sales totaled R$304.6 million. Dissolutions reached R$124.8 million and net pre-sales reached R$179.8 million in the quarter. In the 12M14, net sales totaled R$811.0 million and the volume of dissolutions was R$436.0 million. It is worth noting that even though only one project was launched during the previous two quarters, in 1Q15, the SoS of the Gafisa segment was slightly higher than the previous year, due to improved performance in the sale of inventory. 

 

The Company continues to concentrate its efforts on the sale of remaining units. As a result, approximately 92.0% of net sales during the period related to projects launched up to the end of 2012, resulting in an improvement in the inventory profile of the Gafisa segment.

Sales over Supply (SoS)

 

The sales velocity was 8.0% in 1Q15, slightly above the 7.2% recorded in 4Q14 and in line with 7.9% of the previous year. On a last 12 months basis, Gafisa’s SoS reached 27.9%.

 

 

 

Dissolutions

Uncertain economic conditions continued into the start of 2015 and directly impacted consumer confidence and the level of dissolutions in the first quarter. In the Gafisa segment, due to this challenging operating environment, the level of dissolutions increased in 1Q15, reaching R$124.8 million compared to R$84.9 million in 4Q14 and R$80.4 million in 1Q14. It is also worth noting that this higher level of dissolutions was also impacted by the increased volume of deliveries in the quarter, with 1,847 units, totaling R$569.5 million in PSV.  

 

During the last three years, the Company has been working on initiatives to achieve a higher quality of credit analysis in its sales. In doing so, the Company hopes to reduce the level of dissolutions throughout the construction and delivery cycle. Assertiveness in the credit review process at the time of the sale has generated greater efficiency in the process of transferring Gafisa customers to financial institutions, despite deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, especially from the second half of 2014.

 

 

 

In 1Q15, 255 Gafisa units were cancelled, and 102 units derived from dissolutions and returned to inventory were already resold in the period.

 

Inventory

Gafisa is maintaining its focus on inventory reduction initiatives. Projects launched in previous years represented about 92.0% of net sales in the period. The market value of Gafisa segment inventory reached R$2.1 billion in the 1Q15, 9.8% lower when compared to R$2.3 billion in the previous quarter. Finished units outside of core markets accounted for R$115.0 million, or 5.6% of total inventory.

* The period adjustments are a reflection of updates related to the project scope, release date and inflationary update in the period.

 

During the same period, finished units comprised R$261.7 million, or 12.6% of total inventory. Inventory from projects launched outside core markets, currently exclusively comprised of finished units, represent
R$115.0 million, down 55.2% when compared to the R$256.9 million recorded last year. The Company has seen more consistent sales velocity in these markets over the past few quarters, and believes that between the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016 it will have monetized a large portion of its inventory in non-core markets.

 

It is worth noting that the largest share of Gafisa’s inventory, approximately 68% or R$1.4 billion, is concentrated in projects that are to be delivered from early 2016 onwards. This will account for the sale of inventory in the coming quarters, rather than finished units.

Financial Results

Revenues

Net revenues for the Gafisa segment in 1Q15 totaled R$340.1 million, up 4.1% versus 1Q14 and decrease, due to seasonality effects, of 30.7%. The expansion compared to the 1Q14 is the effect of the higher concentration of inventory sales, due to the lower volume of launches in the last two quarters.

 

In 1Q15, approximately 99.2% of Gafisa segment revenues were derived from projects located in Rio de Janeiro/São Paulo, while 0.8% were derived from projects in non-core markets. The table below provides additional details.

Gross Profit & Margin

Gross profit for the Gafisa segment in 1Q15 was R$98.1 million compared to the R$101.1 million in 1Q14, and R$88.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the quarter was 28.9%. Excluding financial impacts, the adjusted gross margin reached 36.9% in 1Q15 compared to 30.7% in the 4Q14 and 35.7% in the prior year. In the 1Q15, excluding the non-recurring effects recorded in the last quarter of 2014, the Gafisa segment adjusted gross margin was 36.9%, signaling the maintenance of consistent and balanced levels of operational profitability since the beginning of 2013. This is a result of the strategic consolidation in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and the completion of older projects in other non-core markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A expenses totaled R$43.0 million in the 1Q15, a decrease of 16.5% y-o-y and of 21.7% q-o-q.

 

Selling expenses decreased 25.8% y-o-y, reflecting the lower volume of launches, and went down by 45.7% q-o-q, due to the partial recognition of expenses related to 3Q14 launches, which were concentrated at the end of period and recorded in the subsequent period. 

 

The segment’s general and administrative expenses reached R$28.9 million in 1Q15, in line with the previous quarter and a y-o-y reduction of 11.0% compared to 1Q14, mainly due to the reduction in Personnel expenses.

 

The reduction in the level of SG&A expenses in the Gafisa segment reflects the Company's commitment to improve operational efficiency and achieve costs and expenses that are appropriate for the current point of the business cycle and business outlook.

The Other Operating Revenues/Expenses line totaled R$28.5 million, an increase of 23.0% compared to the 4Q14, and a decrease of 43.0% compared to the previous year. This increase reflects the higher level of litigation expenses related to increased deliveries of older projects held in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Strong deliveries over the past two years, including delayed projects in other markets, were instrumental in the increase of the contingency level. Given Gafisa’s narrowed footprint to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and the delivery of outstanding legacy projects in other markets, the Company expects to record a reduction in this potential liability over the course of the coming years.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the Gafisa segment totaled R$58.3 million in 1Q15, up 6.3% compared to R$54.8 million in the prior year period, but a seasonal reduction compared to R$81.8 million recorded in 4Q14. Y-o-Y, 1Q15 EBITDA was impacted by the following factors: (i) increase in revenues; (ii) decrease of R$8.5 million in the level of SG&A Expenses; and (iii) addition of R$8.6 million in expenses related to contingencies, recognized on Other Revenues/Expenses. It is worth noting that adjusted EBITDA for the Gafisa segment does not include equity income from Alphaville.

 

The adjusted EBITDA margin, using the same criteria, presented a slight expansion, reaching 17.1%, compared with a margin of 16.8% in the previous year, and 16.7% in 4Q14.

Tenda remains focused on the completion and delivery of legacy projects, and is dissolving contracts with ineligible clients, so as to sell the units to new qualified customers.

 

Tenda had 367 units cancelled and returned to inventory in the first quarter, and another 106 units already in inventory after dissolutions were resold to qualified customers during the same period. The sale and transfer process plays an important role in the New Tenda Business Model. It is expected that within a period of up to 90 days, the effective sale and transfer process will be complete.

 

Tenda Segment Transfers

In the 1Q15, 1,387 units were transferred to financial institutions, representing R$174.0 million in net pre-sales.

Tenda Segment Delivered Projects

 

During 1Q15, Tenda delivered 6 projects/phases and 1,687 units, reaching a PSV of R$216.3 million. It is worth noting that from Tenda’s legacy projects, there are only two remaining construction sites, with 900 remaining units to be delivered in the next months.

The market value of Tenda inventory was R$803.5 million at the end of the 1Q15, down 3.0% when compared to R$828.7 million at the end of 4Q14, even taking into consideration the large volume of launches in the quarter. Inventory related to the remaining units for the Tenda segment totaled R$311.8 million or 38.8% of the total, down 14.6% over 4Q14 and 37.0% as compared to the prior year period. During the quarter, inventory comprising units within the Minha Casa Minha Vida program totaled R$628.9 million, or 78.3% of total inventory, while units outside the program totaled R$174.6 million in the 1Q15, up 6.8% q-o-q due to a revision in the pricing policy of some projects outside MCMV, and down 32.9% y-o-y.

Financial Result

Revenues

Tenda’s net revenue in 1Q15 totaled R$179.4 million, an increase of 13.3% compared with the previous quarter, due to the increased volume of net sales as a result of the lower level of dissolutions in the period. As shown in the table below, revenues from new projects, which have increased as a portion of total revenues, accounted for 71.8% of Tenda’s revenues in 1Q15, while revenues from older projects accounted for the remaining 28.2%.

Gross Profit & Margin

Gross profit in 1Q15 reached R$51.1 million, compared to R$49.5 million in 4Q14, and well above the R$8.5 million in the year ago quarter. Gross margin for the quarter reached 28.5%, compared to 31.3% in 4Q14 and 8.0% in the prior-year period. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin is due to the increased participation of projects launched under the New Business Model, which are more profitable, on Tenda’s revenue levels, as has been observed in recent quarters.  Both the reduction in volume of older projects, with only two projects still under development (to be delivered in the coming months), and the increase in the number of projects launched under the New Model, contributed to the consolidation of results.  

The adjusted gross margin ended the 1Q15 at 30.0%, up from the 28.6% recorded in the previous quarter, and substantially higher y-o-y.

Below is Tenda’s gross margin breakdown in 1Q15. It is worth noting that the gross margin for the first projects under Tenda’s New Business Model also benefits from the use of older landbank, resulting in increased profitability.

During 1Q15, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$27.8 million, a 21.6% decrease compared to R$35.4 million in 4Q14, and of 9.6% y-o-y.

 

Selling expenses totaled R$13.0 million in 1Q15, a 10.5% increase y-o-y and 16.1% rise q-o-q, due to the ongoing expansion in launches volume and gross sales of the Tenda segment.

 

Regarding G&A expenses, there was a reduction of 22.1% compared to 1Q14, reaching R$14.8 million, mainly as a result of the reversal of the residual balance of the Profit Sharing provision of R$5.6 million, which was accrued during 2014 and reversed in 1Q15.

 

Since the beginning of 2013, another step taken by the Tenda segment to improve its operational and financial cycle is a reduction in the cost structure to a level more compatible with the current stage of the Company’s business model, in order to achieve better profitability.

Over the past two years, the strong volume of deliveries related to delayed projects resulted in increased contingencies in the Tenda segment. With the last legacy projects planned to be delivered over the next months, and the increased contribution of New Model projects demonstrating strong operational performance, the Company expects to see a reduction in the volume of such expenses over the coming years.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was positive R$21.1 million in 1Q15, compared to negative R$24.9 million last year and negative R$30.9 million in 4Q14. For the year, adjusted EBITDA was negative R$67.5 million, compared to negative R$45.6 million last year.

 

The increasing participation of projects under the New Model in Tenda’s revenue mix, due to the conclusion of old projects and increase in launches since 2013, has resulted in better gross margins in recent quarters. Combined

Cash Generation

 

The Company’s operating cash generation reached R$15.1 million in 1Q15. The Gafisa segment contributed with  cash generation of R$44.6 million, anchored by greater efficiency in its operational cycle and the Company’s good performance in transferring/receiving process of units sold to financing agents (R$198.0 million was transferred during the period). The Tenda segment, even taking into consideration good sales speed and performance in its transfer process, with R$107.8 million transferred during the period, had its operating cash impacted by a higher cash disbursement related to the need to realign its landbank. As a result, it reported operating cash consumption of R$29.5 million.

                                                                             

While consolidated operating cash generation reached R$15.1 million, the Company ended 1Q15 with operating cash consumption of R$69.8 million. It is worth highlighting that this result does not include the R$22.1 million

used in the share buyback program during the quarter.

Financial Result                                

Revenue

 

On a consolidated basis, net revenue in the 1Q15 totaled R$519.5 million, down 20.0% over the 4Q14 and up 20.1% from the prior-year quarter. In the quarter, the Gafisa segment represented 65.5% of consolidated revenues, while Tenda accounted for 34.5%.

 

Gross Profit & Margin

 

Gross profit in 1Q15 was R$149.2 million, compared to R$150.6 million in 4Q14, and R$97.3 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin for the quarter reached 28.7%, up 6.2 p.p. over the previous year and 5.2 p.p. from 4Q14. Adjusted gross profit reached R$179.3 million, with a margin of 34.5%, compared to 30.2% in the 4Q14 and 30.5% in the previous year. The return of the gross margin to prior quarter levels following 4Q14 non-recurring impacts, combined with the increased contribution of New Model projects at Tenda, accounted for the improvement in the consolidated adjusted gross margin.

 

The gross margin has improved during the last two years as Gafisa and Tenda legacy projects are concluded, reducing their impact on the Company’s results. At the same time, projects launched in core markets and under the Tenda segment’s New Model, which are more profitable, had a larger contribution to the Company’s consolidated results over recent quarters.

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization in the 1Q15 reached R$11.7 million, a reduction of 16.8%, compared to R$14.0 million recorded in the 1Q14, due to the higher expense from sales booth depreciation in the period. When compared to 4Q14, there was a reduction of 75.2%, due to the following factors: (i) non-recurring impact of R$ 14.5 million recorded in 4Q14, related to goodwill amortization due to the full incorporation of a subsidiary; and (ii) higher expense with sales booth depreciation in 4Q14.

 

 

Financial Results

 

Net financial result was negative R$8.2 million in the 1Q15, in line with the net financial result of negative R$7.9 million in 1Q14 and lower than the net financial result of positive R$10.1 million in the 4Q14, due to the non-recurring effect related to the full incorporation of a subsidiary. Financial revenues totaled R$32.6 million, a 26.2% y-o-y decrease due to the lower cash volume registered in the period. Financial expenses reached R$40.8
