GAFISA RELEASES
4Q15 AND 2015 RESULTS

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS

 

Gafisa finished the full year 2015 having achieved positive results, due to improvements in the production cycle of its business units in the previous years. The Company begins 2016 confident in its operational capacity and business strategy to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Consolidated net income reached R$74.4 million in 2015, a reversal from the R$42.5 million loss recorded in 2014. The Gafisa segment ended the year with net income of R$44.1 million, while the Tenda segment recorded net income of R$30.3 million in the same period.

The overall improvement in operating and financial results occurred despite an extremely challenging environment: 2015 was a year of economic contraction, high interest rates and increasing inflation, as well as higher unemployment levels. These factors had a significant impact on the real estate market, resulting in a sharp reduction in the volume of launches and, at the same time, an increase in the level of dissolutions.

The Gafisa and Tenda segments experienced varying market conditions throughout the year. While greatly impacted by the deterioration in the macro-economic environment, the Gafisa segment was able to maintain the profitability of its projects by increasing operating efficiencies and executing its business improvement strategy. The Tenda segment, which is focused on the resilient low-income market, was able to consistently expand the scale its business.

Both Gafisa and Tenda segment projects presented good performances in 2015. The Gafisa segment’s adjusted gross margin was 36.9% in the year, attesting the stability of its results, while the Tenda segment achieved an adjusted gross margin of 30.6% due to the consolidation of its new business model and the increased contribution of related New Model projects to its results.

In 4Q15, the Gafisa segment launched 5 projects/phases, totaling R$380.3 million, and ended the year with R$996.3 million in launches, achieving an average SoS of launches of approximately 28.3%. Net pre-sales reached R$245.2 million in the fourth quarter, totaling R$914.8 million in the year, an increase of 12.8% from 2014.

A key challenge for the real estate sector during 2015 was the sale of inventory units. Notably, 69.2% of the Gafisa segment's net sales in 2015 related to sales from inventory, reflecting the relevance of the segment’s diversified product portfolio.

Throughout the year, the Gafisa segment devoted special attention to the development of new products. The segment had a strategic focus on achieving an appropriate SoS on launches. Thanks to this strategy and inventory sales, the Gafisa segment’s SoS reached 31.1% in 2015, an increase in comparison with a SoS of 26.1% in 2014.

The fourth quarter was also characterized by the positive volume of deliveries from the Gafisa segment, with the delivery of 8 projects/phases, corresponding to 1,641 units and accounting for R$1.0 billion in PSV. The delivery of these projects/phases contributed to strong operating cash generation during the period. In the full year, 22 projects/phases were delivered, corresponding to 4,986 units and accounting for a PSV of R$2.4 billion. This marked a 44.1% PSV growth rate compared to 2014. The transfer volume reached R$763.3 million in PSV, reflecting the Company’s efficient controls and operational proficiency,

As a result, the 4Q15 adjusted gross profit for the Gafisa segment totaled R$127.4 million, maintaining the segment’s profitability level at an adjusted gross margin of 36.1%. For the full year, the adjusted gross margin for the Gafisa segment was 36.9%.

Also, the Gafisa segment reported another quarter of improved results, achieving net income of R$13.8 million in 4Q15 and ending the year with a R$44.1 million profit.

From an operational standpoint, 2015 marked further progress in the consolidation of the Gafisa segment’s production cycle. The Company ended 2015 with 28 projects under construction, all on schedule and within the delivery timeframe in accordance to the contracts, attesting the commitment to our clients.

Efficient operational and financial management enabled the Gafisa segment to maintain project-level profitability; this was despite challenging market conditions and the related pricing pressure on the portfolio. The efficient development of projects and construction cost management helped offset the difficult macroeconomic scenario and supported gross margin levels.

Looking ahead to 2016, current market conditions are expected to continue, including low consumer confidence, decreases in household income, and greater credit restrictions. It appears that it will take some time to exit the current macroeconomic downturn. These conditions will ultimately delay our expectation for a recovery in the housing market. In light of this, we may see a more restrictive liquidity environment, which may affect prices, margins and sales volume. We will maintain a conservative approach in 2016, seeking to balance the placement of new products in the market, prioritizing those projects with more liquidity, in order to reach adequate sales and profitability levels.

In regards to the Tenda segment, 2015 marked the return to profitability and final delivery of all outstanding legacy projects. The consolidation of Tenda’s new model is based on its four pillars: aluminum framing structure, contracted launches, sales in stores, and the transfer of sales to financial institutions. In addition, the new model projects are concentrated in the six main metropolitan areas of the country - São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Salvador and Recife. These strategic pillars of the new model enabled Tenda to achieve positive operating and financial results, with net income reaching R$30.3 million in the year, compared to a loss of R$109.4 million in 2014.

In regards to the expansion of Tenda’s operating scale, the segment recorded launches of R$302.6 million in the quarter, comprised of 9 new projects/phases. For the full year, Tenda segment launches totaled R$1.1 billion, 77.6% higher than in 2014, supported by the adjustments to Tenda's new model.

Tenda’s net pre-sales exceeded R$1.0 billion, a 156.6% increase compared to 2014. Tenda’s SoS in the year reached 53.0%, notably higher than 32.3% recorded in 2014, reflecting the segment’s improved operational efficiency and the positive scenario for the low income market.

Another highlight for Tenda during 2015 was the delivery of the segment’s four legacy projects, allowing Tenda to focus on its new model projects. In the full year, Tenda delivered 21 projects/phases, representing a PSV of R$802.5 million.

Since 2013, when Tenda started its new model operations, the segment has launched 51 projects, totaling R$2.0 billion in PSV. Notably, Tenda has delivered R$783.4 million in PSV, comprised of 19 projects/phases. All of these initial new model (2013) projects have been completed and delivered within the agreed deadlines. In regards to 2014 projects, only 4 projects of the 14 launched are still under construction and are scheduled to be completed within the next few months.

Tenda’s improved operational performance had a positive impact on the segment’s financial results. In 4Q15, adjusted gross profit reached R$61.9 million, with an adjusted gross margin of 29.9%. In the year, the segment’s adjusted gross profit was R$260.2 million, with an adjusted gross margin of 30.6%.

It is worth noting that in this 4Q15, the Tenda segment’s result was impacted by non-recurring effects totaling R$22.2 million as adjustment in the accounting balance of receivables and increase in the provision of the receivables portfolio related to project prior to 2012, ending the quarter with a net loss of R$13.0 million. In the year Tenda recorded net income of R$30.3 million.

Moving forward into 2016, Tenda has continued to focus on achieving greater economies of scale by increasing launches and implementing strategies designed to ensure a strong sales pace. The consistency of the segment’s latest results from the new model projects reaffirms management’s confidence in the 2016 business plan.

On a consolidated basis, Gafisa and Tenda launches totaled R$2.1 billion in 2015 and R$682.9 million in 4Q15, with net pre-sales of R$482.6 million and R$1.9 billion, respectively. The Company’s 4Q15 adjusted gross profit was R$189.3 million, with an adjusted gross margin of 33.9%; in the year, adjusted gross profit was R$792.8 million, with an adjusted gross margin of 34.6%, above the results posted in 2014.

In regards to the current economic environment, the Company continues to take steps to achieve greater stability in its cost and expense structure. Selling and administrative expenses were R$94.4 million in the fourth quarter. In the year, these expenses totaled R$344.7 million, a 4.2% decrease from 2014. This cost reduction was achieved despite a higher level of launches and sales.

At the end of the year, the Net Debt/Shareholder’s Equity ratio reached 46.6%, the lowest level in 2015. Excluding project finance, the Net Debt/Shareholder’s Equity ratio was negative 12.0%. Consolidated operating cash generation reached R$165.6 million in the quarter and R$257.7 million in the year. The Company ended 4Q15 with net cash generation of R$128.4 million, resulting in total net cash generation of R$24.1 million in the year.

Our positive cash flow performance and the maintenance of a low level of leverage reinforce the Company's conservative approach to capital discipline, which remains a priority during this period of macroeconomic uncertainty in Brazil.

Over the last year, Gafisa and Tenda have strengthened their respective operational and financial cycles, positioning each segment to overcome challenges in 2016. The Gafisa segment has achieved consistent performance, streamlined its operations, and is focused on improving the return on invested capital. The Tenda segment is gaining scale by expanding the volume of new projects, backed by the positive results achieved from the new model. The Company continues to advance guided by capital discipline, its profitability goals, and value creation for shareholders.

The Company increased its level of net sales in 4Q15, despite more difficult market conditions. In addition, these results reflected Gafisa's commitment to improved operational efficiency, as demonstrated by the maintenance of its adjusted gross margin levels. Furthermore, the segment achieved its lowest level of general and administrative expenses, which reflects the current business cycle and market prospects of the Gafisa segment.

The 4Q15 adjusted gross margin was 36.1%, in line with the average levels reported in previous quarters and up  y-o-y, due to a higher recognition of swaps in 4Q14.

We would also like to highlight the reduced general and administrative expenses in 4Q15, with a 41.3% decrease y-o-y. In the year, the cost reduction reached 21.9% compared to 2014. Thus, selling, general and administrative expenses ended 2015 11.1% lower y-o-y.

Net income for the period was R$13.8 million, compared to R$1.7 million in the 3Q15 and R$36.8 million in the 4Q14. This was due to the segment’s lower revenues related to the product sales mix in the period and also to the higher contribution of AUSA equity income. 2015 net income totaled R$44.1 million, compared to R$66.9 million in 12M14. Excluding the R$26.7 million in equity income from Alphaville, the Gafisa segment had a net loss in 4Q15 of R$12.9 million, compared to a profit of R$16.1 million recorded in 4Q14 and a R$0.5 million profit in 3Q15. In 2015, the segment’s net loss was R$5.9 million, compared to net income of R$34.6 million in the same period last year, due to the following: (i) lower level of revenues; (ii) higher operating expenses; and (iii) negative impact of net financial income in 2015 when compared to 2014.

The last quarter of 2015 marked the continuation of operational consolidation from Tenda's New Model, with solid sales speed and robust number of launches.

In 4Q15, Tenda recorded adjusted gross income of R$61.9 million, lower than the previous quarter, due to the lower revenue level, impacted by the sales mix in the period. The 4Q15 adjusted gross margin reached 29.9%, in line with previous quarters. Notably, in the 3Q15 a portion of the accumulated profit sharing provision, related to emplyees directly related to operating processes, was reallocated to G&A expenses, representing a one-off, one-time impact of 2.3 p.p. on the adjusted gross margin in the quarter. In the year, the adjusted gross margin reached 30.6%, up from the 26.9% in 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1.5 million in the quarter, impacted by non-recurring effects of R$22.2 million as adjustment in the accounting balance of receivables and increase in the provision of receivables portfolio, of projects prior to 2012, compared to R$24.4 million in 3Q15 and a 4Q14 negative adjusted EBITDA of R$30.9 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin reached 0.7% in 4Q15, higher than the negative margin recorded in 4Q14. Even considering the non-recurring impact mentioned above, in the year the adjusted EBITDA margin reached 7.3% compared to the negative 11.8% margin posted in 2014. This result reflecs the operational consolidation of Tenda’s New Model, which contributed to a strong expansion in the  Tenda’s segment EBITDA during this period.

Net Income

In 4Q15, the Tenda segment was specially impacted by the non-recurring effects totaling R$22.2 million: (i) R$11.0 million as an effect of the increase in the provision of the portfolio of receivables from projects prior to 2012; and (ii) R$11.2 million as an adjustment in the accounting balance of receivables. As a result, net income for the quarter was negative R$13.0 million, a decrease from positive R$11.8 million recorded in 3Q15, but an improvement from the net loss of R$28.8 million in 4Q14.

 

In 2015, net income was R$30.3 million, compared to a net loss of R$109.4 million in the previous year, reflecting the improved operating and financial performance of the Tenda segment.

RECENT EVENTS

UPDATED STATUS OF THE SPIN-OFF PROCESS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

At the end of 2015, the Company progressed with the evaluation of the potential separation of the Gafisa and Tenda business units. Since commencing the spin-off process in February 2014, the Company executed multiple initiatives in order to make the two business units independent of one another from both an operational perspective, as well as a capital structure standpoint.

The Company’s analysis of an appropriate capital structure is one of the main processes that is still ongoing. The Company continues to work in order to achieve the conditions deemed necessary for the desired capital structure model, which takes into consideration the business cycles of each of the business units.

As previously communicated in a Material Fact released to the market on April 29, 2015, these actions are ongoing and are taking longer than had been initially expected. As a result of this, and the on-going assessment of an appropriate capital structure, it is not yet possible to determine when the potential separation will be concluded.

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

ALLOCATION OF THE 2015 FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

In accordance with Article 47, paragraph 2 (b) of the Bylaws, 25% of the balance of net income of the fiscal year will be allocated for the payment of the statutory dividend to all shareholders after the deductions provided for in the Bylaws and adjusted pursuant to article 202 of Brazilian Corporate Law.

Due to the R$74.4 million income calculated in the year ended on December 31, 2015, the Company's management will propose, at the Annual General Meeting, the distribution of approximately R$17.7 million - about R$0.048 per share. This distribution will allow shareholders to gauge a dividend yield of approximately 2.0%, based on the 2015 closing price.

UPDATE TO SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM

The third stock buyback program, limited to 27 million common shares, expired and was closed.  Only 1 million common shares were effectively acquired, with total disbursement of R$2.0 million.

Reaffirming its commitment to generating shareholder value, on March 3, 2016, the Company approved the creation of the fourth share buyback program, up to a maximum of 8.2 million common shares which, when added to the 10.6 million shares currently held in treasury, correspond to 5% of the total common shares issued by the Company. The goal of the program is to efficiently use the Company’s available funds, aiming at medium and long-term profitability, being a portion of the shares to be acquired to be allocated for the exercise of the options and/or shares to be granted in the Stock Option Plan, as approved at the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Company also reaffirms its commitment to capital discipline. The execution of the program is conditioned to the maintenance of Gafisa’s Consolidated Net Debt to Equity ratio in a level equal or lower than 60% at the time of the shares’ purchase. The Company’s Executive Officers are authorized to determine the opportunities in which operations will be performed, as well as the amount of shares to be effectively traded.

GAFISA SEGMENT

Focuses on residential developments within the upper, upper-middle, and middle-income segments, with average unit prices above R$250,000..

Operating Results

Launches and Pre-Sales

Fourth quarter 2015 launches totaled R$380.3 million, representing 5 projects/phases located in São Paulo. The sales speed of these launches reached 23.6%. In 2015, the Gafisa segment totaled R$996.3 million in launches, representing 47.8% of consolidated launches.

 

 

 

 

The Gafisa segment’s 4Q15 gross pre-sales totaled R$370.5 million. Dissolutions reached R$125.3 million and net pre-sales reached R$245.2 million, stable when compared to 3Q15 and an increase of 38.3% compared to 4Q14. In 2015, net pre-sales reached R$914.8 million, an increase of 12.8% from 2014.

 

The Company continues to concentrate its efforts on the sale of remaining units. As a result, approximately 28% of net sales during the quarter related to projects launched before the end of 2013. Considering the full year 2015 launches, 43.7% of net sales are related to projects launched before the end of 2013, which resulted in an improvement of the inventory profile of the Gafisa segment.

Sales over Supply (SoS)

The Gafisa segment’s sales velocity was 31.1% in 2015, compared to 26.1% in 2014. In 4Q15, Gafisa’s SoS reached 10.8%, in line with the previous quarter and up from the 7.2% in 4Q14.

 

 

 

Dissolutions

The weak economic conditions observed in 2015 have directly impacted consumer confidence and, accordingly, the level of dissolutions. Due to the challenging operating environment, the level of dissolutions in the Gafisa segment reached R$125.3 million in 4Q15, a decrease compared to R$147.2 million in 3Q15 and an increase from the R$84.9 million in 4Q14. Notably, the level of dissolutions in 2015 has been impacted by the increased volume of deliveries in the period. During the 2015, 4,986 units were delivered, corresponding to R$2.4 billion in PSV, nearly a 50% increase from 2014 deliveries. In 2015, the volume of dissolutions was R$512.9 million, 17.6% higher than in 2014.

 

Over the last three years, the Company has been working on initiatives to strengthen the credit review component of its sale process. In doing so, the Company intends to reduce the level of dissolutions throughout the construction and delivery cycle. A comprehensive approach in the credit review process at the time of sale has generated a more efficient process of transferring Gafisa customers to financial institutions, even amid a unfavorable economic environment. As an example of the efficiency achieved in this process, of all customers who asked for transfers in 2015, only 3.2% have been rejected in the bank’s credit analysis, i.e. out of the 2.045 units asking for transfers, only 65 were not accepted.

 

In recent quarters the Gafisa segment has been able to reduce the level of dissolutions by enabling customers facing financial pressure to swap their units for those that better match their financial position. Such unit conversions accounted for approximately 35.3% of total dissolved PSV in 2015, resulting in the reversal of R$ 126.6 million into new sales. This exchange process reflects the flexibility of Gafisa’s product portfolio.

 

In the full year 2015, 972 Gafisa units were cancelled and 670 units, representing R$383.7 million, were already resold within the period.

Inventory

Gafisa is maintaining its focus on inventory reduction initiatives. Projects launched prior to 2014 represented 47.3% of net sales in the period. In 2015, inventory as a percentage of sales reached 69.2%. The market value of the Gafisa segment’s inventory remained stable q-o-q and decreased by 11.6% y-o-y, totaling
R$2.0 billion. The reduction reflects current market conditions and the effect of the sales income in the period, as well as pricing adjustments on several legacy projects.
Finished units outside of core markets accounted for
R$72.7 million, or 3.6% of total inventory.

During the same period, finished units represented R$418.0 million, or 20.6% of total inventory. Inventory from projects launched outside core markets, which is comprised exclusively of finished units, represented
R$72.7 million, a decrease of 49.2% when compared to the R$143.1 million recorded last year and down 24.8% from 3Q15. The Company estimates that through the end of 2016, it will have monetized a large portion of its inventory in non-core markets, based on the sales rate observed in these markets over the past few quarters.

 

In regards to Gafisa’s inventory, approximately 56%, or R$1.1 billion, is concentrated in projects to be delivered from 4Q16 on, not representing an immediate increase in the segment’s volume of inventory of finished units.

In 4Q15, the Company acquired four new land plots with a PSV of R$596.2 million, representing an acquisition cost of R$97.6 million. The acquisition was 78% financed by cash and 22% financed by swap agreements. It is important to note that the cash disbursement is aligned with the timeline of projects to be launched in these plots, which is scheduled over the next two years.

 

The quarterly adjustments reflect updates related to project scope, expected launch date, and inflationary adjustments to the land bank during the period.

 

Gafisa Vendas

During 2015, Gafisa Vendas, the Company’s independent sales unit, with operations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, accounted for 66% of gross sales. Gafisa Vendas currently has a team of 550 highly trained, dedicated consultants, in addition to an online sales force.

 

Delivered Projects

During 4Q15, 8 projects/phases totaling 1,641 units were delivered, accounting for R$1.0 billion in PSV. In 2015, 22 projects/phases totaling 4,986 units were delivered, accounting for R$2.4 billion in PSV, compared to 23 projects/phases delivered in 2014, representing 3,806 units and R$1.6 billion in PSV compared to the prior year.

 

Currently, Gafisa has 28 projects under construction, all of which are on schedule according to the Company’s business plan.

Transfers

Over the past few years, the Company has been taking steps to improve the performance of its receivables/transfer process in an attempt to achieve higher rates of return on invested capital. Currently, the Company’s strategy is to transfer 90% of eligible units up to 90 days after the delivery of the project. In accordance with this policy, transfers totaled R$241.8 million in PSV in the fourth quarter.

 

Of the year to date deliveries totaling R$2.4 billion, corporate projects comprised 40.4%. Financing arrangements for corporate projects differ from that of residential projects, resulting in a smaller contribution to transfer volumes, which impacted cash generation in the delivery period.

Gross Profit & Margin

Gross profit for the Gafisa segment in 4Q15 was R$84.2 million, a decrease from R$108.8 million in 3Q15, and R$101.1 million versus the prior year period, due to the lower top line result in the period. The 4Q15 gross margin of 23.9% was a result of the following factors: (i) updated pricing on some projects reflect current market conditions and; (ii) the effect of higher financial costs allocated to the project portfolio.

Excluding financial impacts, the adjusted gross margin reached 36.1% in 4Q15 compared to 37.9% in the 3Q15 and 30.7% in 4Q14, reflecting relatively stable levels of profitability in the Gafisa segment. 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$55.3 million in the 4Q15, stable y-o-y and up 18.7% q-o-q, as a result of the higher selling expense in the period. In the year, these expenses totaled R$195.4 million, or 11.1% below the R$219.9 million recorded in the previous year.

 

Selling expenses increased 70.1% compared to 3Q15 and 47.9% from 4Q14, due to the higher volume of launches in 4Q15 and the partial recognition of expenses related to 3Q15 launches, which were disbursed during the 4Q15 period. For the full year 2015, selling expenses increased 3.0% compared with the same period last year, as a result of the necessary additional effort to increase sales, due to the current macroeconomic scenario. In parallel to the slight increase in selling expenses, it is worth noting the increase of 14.5% in gross sales at the Gafisa segment.

 

The segment’s general and administrative expenses reached R$17.0 million in 4Q15, a decrease of 41.3% compared to the previous year and a 29.4% decline q-o-q. This decrease is a result of the partial reversal of provision for bonuses that had a net effect of R$8.0 million, recorded in 4Q15. Excluding this effect, there was a 13.6% decrease y-o-y and a slight increase of 3.8% q-o-q. In 2015, general and administrative expenses reached R$97.4 million compared to R$124.8 million in 2014, representing a relevant y-o-y decrease of 21.9%. The Company ended the year with 950 employees, a 21% reduction compared to December 2014 .

 

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

Other Operating Revenues/Expenses reached R$27.1 million in 4Q15, a decrease of 11.4% compared to 3Q15, and an increase of 17.0% compared to 4Q14. In the 2015, this account totaled R$107.6 million, up by 36.1% compared to 2014, substantially represented by R$91.2 million in provision for contingencies recognized in the 2015 and R$16.4 million for operating expenses of diverse nature.

 

This y-o-y increase reflects the higher levels of litigation expenses related to increased deliveries of older projects in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

 

The Company continues to be proactive and to mitigate risks associated with potential contingencies. Among a few initiatives that have been implemented during the year, we highlight: (i) agreements policy; (ii) new remuneration model of attorney fees; (iii) legal committee for ongoing litigation monitoring.

The strong volume of deliveries over the past three years, due to the delivery of delayed projects in discontinued markets, led to an increase in the level of contingencies. The Gafisa segment has since concentrated its operations only in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. This new strategic geographical positioning, combined with improved internal processes, is expected to result in fewer future legal claims and a subsequent decrease in the amount of expenses related to contingencies in the following years.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the Gafisa segment totaled R$49.9 million in 4Q15, representing a decrease of 25.4% compared to R$66.8 million in the prior quarter and a decrease of 39.1% compared to R$81.8 million in 4Q14. Adjusted EBITDA for 2015 was R$227.4 million, compared to R$296.7 million in 2014. In comparison to the prior-year period, despite the consistent adjusted gross margin, 4Q15 EBITDA was impacted by the following factors: (i) lower revenue in the quarter due to the sales mix; and (ii) higher level of selling expenses due to higher volume of launches in the quarter. In regards to the full year 2015, R$28.5 million of the increase in expenses related to contingencies, recognized as Other Revenues/Expenses. Note that adjusted EBITDA for the Gafisa segment does not include equity income from Alphaville.

The adjusted EBITDA margin, using the same criteria, increased to 14.1% compared to 16.6% in 3Q15 and to from 16.7% recorded in 4Q14. In the full year 2015, EBITDA margin reached 15.8% compared with 18.8% reported in 2014.

Dissolutions

The level of dissolutions in the Tenda segment totaled R$39.9 million in 4Q15, a decrease of 5.1% from 3Q15 and a decrease of 39.8% compared to 4Q14.

 

 

 

Due to its transfer policy, which occurs immediately after the sale, and the reduction of the legacy portfolio, the Tenda segment continues to support a lower volume of dissolutions. Approximately 45% of the dissolutions in the period were related to old projects, and accounted for only 11.4% of gross sales for the quarter and 18.9% for the full year.

Gross Profit & Margin

4Q15 gross profit totaled R$58.7 million, up significantly from R$49.5 million in 4Q14, and down from R$67.4 million in the 3Q15. Gross margin for the quarter reached 28.4%, compared to 31.3% in 4Q14 and 30.4% in 3Q15. The maintenance of higher gross margins is due to the increased contribution of projects launched under the New Business Model.

Tenda’s adjusted gross margin ended 4Q15 at 29.9%, above the 28.6% recorded in the previous year period, and lower than 32.1% in 3Q15. Notably, in the last quarter there was an impact from the allocation of the accumulated provision for profit sharing and results; this had a non-recurring effect of 2.3 percentage points on the adjusted gross margin. For the full year, adjusted gross margin reached 30.6%, higher than 26.9% recorded in 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

During 4Q15, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$39.1 million, a 9.4% decrease compared to 3Q15, and an increase of 10.2% y-o-y. In the full year 2015, SG&A totaled R$149.3 million, up 6.6% from 2014.

 

Selling expenses totaled R$18.3 million in 4Q15, a 12.7% increase q-o-q and a 63.6% increase y-o-y, due to the ongoing expansion in launch volumes and increased gross sales in the Tenda segment in the last quarters. In 2015, selling expenses increased 23.3% year-over-year to R$65.3 million. In parallel, the segment’s gross sales volume grew 31.4% in the same period.

 

In regards to G&A expenses, there was a decrease of 22.9% q-o-q and a decrease of 14.5% y-o-y. Again, it is worth mentioning the non-recurring adjustment of R$5.5 million in the allocation of a portion of the profit sharing provision, previously registered as cost and selling expenses. Excluding this effect, general and administrative expenses were similar in 4Q15. In 2015, general and administrative expenses totaled R$84.0 million, or R$78.5 million excluding the aforementioned effect, lower than the R$87.1 million recorded in 12M14.

 

Another step taken by the Tenda segment to improve its operational and financial cycle since 2013 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.

The Other Operating Revenues/Expenses totaled an expense of R$20.4 million, an increase of 31.3 % compared to 3Q15, impacted by the non-recurring effect of R$11.0 million as an increase in the provision of the receivables portfolio from projects prior to 2012. In the year, this account, which is substantially represented by the R$27.3 million provision for contingencies recognized in the 2015 fiscal year and R$25.3 million related to operating expenses of diverse nature, totaled R$52.6 million, down 15.5 % compared to 2014.

Over the past two years, the strong volume of deliveries related to delayed projects resulted in increased contingencies in the Tenda segment. The Company expects to see a reduction in the volume of such expenses over the coming years as a result of the delivery of the final legacy projects in 3Q15 and the full contribution of New Model projects which are demonstrating strong operational performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was R$1.5 million in 4Q15, a continuation of profitability from R$24.4 million in 3Q15 and a reversal of the R$30.9 million EBITDA loss in 4Q15. Despite the increase over the previous year, sequentially adjusted EBITDA was impacted by the following: (i) lower volume of revenues in the quarter due to the sales mix; (ii) increase in selling expenses; and (iii) non-recurring impacts of R$22.2 million. In 12M15, adjusted EBITDA was R$62.2 million compared to a R$67.5 million adjusted EBITDA loss in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 0.7% in 4Q15, compared to negative 19.5% in 4Q14. In the year, adjusted EBITDA margin reached 7.3%.

 

The increased contribution of projects under the New Model in Tenda’s revenue mix and the related delivery of legacy projects since 2013, has resulted in improved gross margins in recent quarters. In addition to the improved performance, Tenda’s efficiencies in its cost structure have resulted in a significant increase in EBITDA in the Tenda segment during the period.

Revenue

On a consolidated basis, net revenue in the 4Q15 totaled R$559.2 million, down 10.4% compared to 3Q15 and down 13.9% from 4Q14. In the quarter, the Gafisa segment represented 63.0% of consolidated revenues, while Tenda accounted for the remaining 37.0%. In 2015, consolidated net revenue reached R$2.3 billion, 6.7% above the R$2.2 billion recorded in the previous year.

 

Gross Profit & Margin

Gross profit in 4Q15 was R$142.9 million, compared to R$176.2 million in 3Q15, and R$150.6 million in the prior year period. Such reduction is due to the lower level of revenues in the period. Gross margin for the quarter reached 25.5% compared to 28.2% in the 3Q15 and 23.2% in 4Q14.

 

Adjusted gross profit totaled R$189.3 million, with a margin of 33.9%, compared to 35.9% in the 3Q15 and 30.2% in the previous year. Supported by stable results in the Gafisa segment and the higher volume and consolidation of Tenda’s New Business Model operations, the Company has been able to maintain its adjusted gross margin at a healthy level throughout the past few quarters.

 

The adjusted gross margin has improved since 2013 as Gafisa and Tenda legacy projects have been concluded, and started to reduce their impact on the Company’s results. At the same time, the contribution of more profitable projects launched in core markets and under the Tenda segment’s New Model has increased its contribution to the consolidated results during recent quarters.

Financial Results

4Q15 Net financial result was negative R$12.9 million, a decrease from the positive result of R$10.1 million in 4Q14 but an improvement from the negative result of R$19.7 million in 3Q15. Financial revenues were down 36.8% y-o-y, totaling R$24.1 million, due to the lower balance of funds available in the period. Financial expenses reached R$37.0 million, compared to R$28.1 million in 4Q14, due to the higher average CDI in the period. In the year, net financial result was negative R$38.1 million, compared to a net financial result of R$8.9 million in the same period last year.

 

Taxes

Income taxes, social contribution and deferred taxes for 4Q15 amounted to an expense of R$3.9 million, due to the effect of reversion of deferred income tax due to temporary differences in the fiscal year. In 2015, income tax and social contribution totaled R$7.2 million.

 

Net Income

The Company ended the 4Q15 with a net profit of R$0.8 million.

The Company ended 2015 with net income of R$74.4 million.
