Management Report 2015

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

The management of Gafisa S.A. ("Gafisa" or "Company") is pleased to submit for your review the Management Report and the corresponding Financial Statements, together with the Independent Auditors and the Fiscal Council reports for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The information is presented in millions of reais and on a consolidated basis, unless specified otherwise, and in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

Despite a challenging environment in 2015, the Company remained focused on its operating performance, increasing profitability levels and the generation of shareholder value.

In 2015, Gafisa reaped the rewards of several initiatives implemented in recent years. By streamlining the production cycle, we were able to shorten overall construction time and strengthen financial management. We also increased the speed of the transfer process and completed all legacy projects at Tenda, improving the management of our capital employed. Despite a context of economic uncertainty, this enabled us to achieve consistent operating and financial results, with an increase in the volume of consolidated net pre-sales and reporting net income of R$ 74.4 millions over the year.

In this context, we would like to note the sound performance of Gafisa and Tenda’s projects and their contribution to the Company’s consolidated results. The adjusted gross margin reached 34.6% in 2015. The Gafisa segment maintained consistent results with an adjusted gross margin of 36.9% for the year. The Tenda segment benefited from the consolidation of its new business model and consequently, made a larger contribution to results. It ended the year with an adjusted gross margin of 30.6%.

In 2015, both segments contributed to a positive consolidated net income result. The Gafisa segment contributed R$44.1 millions, while Tenda contributed R$ 30.3 millions, bringing consolidated net income to R$74.4 millions, compared to a loss of R$42.5 millions the previous year. This attests to the successful implementation of the strategy outlined in previous years, with greater efficiency in the operating cycle through better management of the construction process, in line with improved financial management and the discipline in managing the Company's cost structure.

The overall improvement in operating and financial results occurred despite a challenging environment: 2015 was a year of economic contraction, high interest rates, increasing inflation, and 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 an increase in the level of dissolutions.

The Gafisa and Tenda segments experienced varying market conditions throughout the year. The Gafisa segment, which was more affected by the macroeconomic environment, launched R$ 996.3 millions, stable year on year. which is focused on the resilient low-income market, was able to consistently expand the scale its business, with launches 77.6% higher than 2014, totaling R$1.1 billion in the year. Consolidated launches increased by 27.4% in 2015, totaling R$ 2.1 billions.

Consolidated net pre-sales reached R$1.9 billions in 2015, an increase of 60.0% from the previous year (8,893 units in 2015 compared 4,294 units in 2014), a strong result that illustrates our resilience against the macroeconomic context last year.

Due to uncertainty stemming from the economic context and low consumer confidence, we decided to postpone launches in the Gafisa segment until a more opportune time. This strategy is also aligned with our conservative approach to market risk, reflected in our more conservative performance in cash management.

For the Gafisa segment, its performance in 2015 was another important step in the consolidation of its production cycle. The segment remains focused on São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and accounted for 47.4% of net consolidated sales contracted during the year, an increase of 12.8% year on year to R$ 914.8 millions. This was achieved despite a challenging context for the sale of remaining units. In this context, 69.2% of net segment sales were products in stock, confirming the importance of diversification in a product portfolio.

At the same time, the Gafisa segment focused on the development and placement of new products, prioritizing a comfortable level in VSO launches. This disciplined focus saw the VSO Gafisa segment reach 31.1% in 2015, compared to growth of 26.1% in 2014.

A focus on sales of remaining units resulted in a drop of 11.6% y-o-y in Gafisa segment’s inventory, which ended 2015 at R$ 2.0 billions. We would highlight that currently, inventory outside Rio-SP metro regions represents only 3.6% of total inventory, down 73.3% compared to the end of 2013, and down 49.2% from December 2014. Remaining units of the Gafisa segment have a longer term profile, with approximately 55.8% of this expected to be delivered as from the end of 2017. Regarding completed units, representing R$418.0 millions or 20.6% of total inventory, this volume was specifically impacted in 2015 due to the strong volume of deliveries of commercial projects. The inventory of finished units ended the year at R$ 219.4 millions, or 52.5% of total finished units.

An increase in the volume of dissolutions was another consequence of the weak economic context in 2015, specifically in the upper-middle income segment. During the year, the volume of dissolutions in the Gafisa segment was R$ 512.9 millions, 17.6% higher than the previous year, after a drop of 4.4% in 2014 (compared to 2013) reflecting the low level of consumer confidence. 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, despite an uncertain 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. For full year 2015, 972 Gafisa units were cancelled being that 68.9%, representing R$383.7 millions, were already resold within the period.

Within this context, it is worth mentioning the performance of our reversion cell, with efforts directed at preventing dissolutions. The Gafisa segment has been working with its customer base, encouraging the possibility of swapping their units as an alternative to dissolution. Such unit conversions accounted for approximately 35.3% of total dissolved PSV in 2015, resulting in the reversal of R$ 126.6 millions into new sales. This exchange process reflects the flexibility of Gafisa’s product portfolio.

As we have noted, 2015 was also characterized by the increased volume of deliveries from the Gafisa segment. During the period, 22 projects/phases were delivered, corresponding to 4,986 units accounting for a PSV of R$2.4 billions. This marked a 44.1% PSV growth rate compared to 2014. The transfer volume reached R$763.3 millions in PSV, reflecting the Company’s efficient controls and operational proficiency.

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 contract delivery timeframe, ratifying our commitment to clients.

Efficient operational and financial management enabled the Gafisa segment to maintain project-level profitability despite pricing pressure on the portfolio. The efficient development of projects and construction cost management helped offset the macroeconomic context 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. These conditions will ultimately delay our expectation for a recovery in the housing market. In light of this, we will maintain a conservative approach in 2016, seeking to balance the placement of new products with a focus on those which have more liquidity, to achieve solid sales and profitability levels.

In relation to the Tenda segment, 2015 marked the return to profitability and the 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 millions in the year, compared to a loss of R$109.4 millions in 2014.

For the full year, Tenda segment launched 30 new projects/phases, totaling R$1.1 billions in PSV, 77.6% higher than the R$613.3 millions launched in 2014. Tenda is confident in the resilience of market demand, despite the economic context. Demand in the low-income segment is still quite strong, anchored in maintaining credit availability for the segment. Since 2013, with the start of New Model operations, Tenda has launched 51 projects totaling 14,485 units and R$ 2.0 billions in PSV.

Tenda’s net pre-sales exceeded R$1.0 billion, a 156.6% increase compared to 2014, confirming good momentum of the lower income segment and confidence in Tenda’s business model. Tenda’s SoS over the year reached 53.0%, significantly higher than 32.3% recorded in 2014. This reflects the segment’s improved operational efficiency and a positive outlook for the low income market. Launches during the year represented approximately 50.0% of total net pre-sales of the segment.

Notably, the volume of dissolutions in the Tenda segment have shown consistent reductions after the implementation and consolidation of the new business model. In 2015, the Tenda segment had a volume of dissolutions of R$ 192.0 millions, significantly lower than the R$523.4 millions recorded in 2014. This decrease derives from lower share of Tenda’s legacy projects in operations, as well as confidence in the operational management of the new model, the quality of credit analysis, and the speed of customer transfer for financial institutions.

In 2015, Tenda delivered 21 projects/phases, representing a PSV of R$802.5 millions, up 17.9% compared to 2014. Out of the total delivered, 69.2% are projects under Tenda’s new model.

Reflecting the success of the new model, Tenda has delivered R$783.4 millions in PSV since 2013 comprised of 19 projects/phases and 5,683 units, or 39.2% of total launches. All of these projects have been completed and delivered to clients within the agreed timeframe. For 2014 projects, only 4 of the 14 launched are still under construction and are scheduled for completion within the next few months.

Importantly, Tenda has achieved strong profitability metrics for the operation of New Model projects: adjusted gross margin consistently higher than the floor of 28%, average monthly VSO of 5-7%, and an expected level of dissolutions around 15% of total gross sales.

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

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

Our focus on greater efficiency and productivity resulted in a decrease of 3.8% in the level of selling, general and administrative expenses y-o-y, despite the higher volume of launches and sales.

For the full year 2015, Gafisa segment’s selling expenses increased 3.0% compared with the same period last year, due to additional efforts to increase sales. Tenda segment’s selling expenses increased 23.3% year-over-year, aligned with higher launches and gross sales. The consolidated increase in selling expenses over the year reached 10.3%, totaling R$ 163.3 millions. In line with the slight increase in selling expenses, it is worth noting the increase of 21.7% in consolidated gross sales.

General and administrative expenses reached R$181.4 millions from R$ 211.9 millions in the previous year, a decrease of 14.4%. The Gafisa segment totaled R$ 97.4 millions, 21.9% lower than 2014, while Tenda was R$ 84.0 millions, a decrease of 3.6% against the prior year.

Net income for the 4Q15 was R$0.8 million. The Gafisa segment reported a profit of R$13.8 millions, while the Tenda segment reported a loss of R$13.0 millions, impacted by a non-recurring effect of R$11.0 millions due to a provision increase in the portfolio of receivables and R$11.2 millions as an adjustment in the accounting balance of receivables of projects prior to 2012. Excluding non-recurring effects, Tenda segment recorded a R$9.2 millions net profit in 4Q15, with consolidated net income of R$ 23.0 millions.

For the full year, net income totaled R$74.4 millions, compared to a loss of R$42.5 millions in 2014.

We would like to highlight the solid performance of our cash generation in 2015, given the operating expansion and rebuilding of our landbank at Tenda.  Operating cash generation totaled R$165.6 millions in 4Q15, finishing the year at R$257.7 millions. This reflects: (i) the Company's good performance in the transfer process with approximately R$ 1.5 billions transferred over the year; (ii) greater control and assertiveness of its business cycle. Net cash generated in the quarter was R$128.4 millions, with accumulated cash generation of R$24.1 millions during 2015. This generation excludes some non-recurring effects, such as share buybacks.

At the end of the year, the Net Debt/Shareholder’s Equity ratio reached 46.6%, slightly lower than the 50.5% recorded last quarter and the lowest level since the end of 2014. Excluding project finance, the Net Debt/Shareholder’s Equity ratio was negative 12.0%.

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.

The spinoff process is ongoing. The brands are currently operating independently, with structures that reflect the specifics of their business models. We continue to work with partners and financial agents in order to achieve the conditions 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 taking longer than initially expected. As a result, it is not yet possible to determine when the potential separation will be concluded.

Human Resources

Gafisa’s people are its greatest asset. Our team is made up of individuals with a unique perspective, reflecting our corporate vision, values and culture, built up over more than 60 years. Gafisa’s people are committed to achieving results, aimed at quality and serving the customer, which are foundations of the brand’s competitive position.

We have an experienced professional team that is at the forefront of the Brazilian real estate industry. Many of the professionals who make up our workforce started their careers at the Company.

Approximately 70% of our leaders were trained within the Company, through attraction and talent training programs.

Our CEO started his career as an intern of the Company and nearly half of the current directors have followed the same path of success, starting in our Trainee Program.

Currently, our Trainee program has about 266 students (156 in Gafisa and 110 in Tenda) and 87% of them are studying civil engineering. The selection, evaluation and remuneration of our employees is based on daily commitment to our values.

The Company's remuneration policy is applicable for employees, including members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council and Executive Board (statutory and non-statutory), and is in-line with the best corporate governance practices. We aim to attract and retain the best professionals and our remuneration is established based on market research and directly linked to the alignment of interests of executives and the Company's shareholders.

The meritocratic model is based on variable remuneration. A significant percentage of the total remuneration is linked to the achievement of corporate results and individual goals. All employees have objective individual targets directly related to the Company's strategy and key indicators of our business.

Regarding Directors and Managers, in addition to the short-term variable remuneration, there is also a portion of long-term incentives (in the form of grant of stock purchase options), which allows for even greater share of the risk and the Company’s results with its top executives, a characteristic of a transparent policy aimed at achieving long-lasting results.

Safety and prevention of accidents at work is vital. Therefore, we maintain an ongoing program of identification, prevention and mitigation of risk, which aims to keep employees safe and provide the foundation for a healthier life. For us, investing in security is welfare assurance within and outside the workplace. We offer training programs for the field teams (working at our construction sites), as well as for third parties’ employees who work for us.

The Company relies on the collaboration of 2,269 own employees (950 in Gafisa and 1,319 in Tenda – based on Dec/15), as well as the trainees mentioned above.

Research and Development

Gafisa, in order to maintain its position as a leader in its field, has and encourages multiple fronts focused on innovation.

Since 2006, the Operations and Technology Development (DOT) area, which is mainly focused on the search for technological innovations and process improvements, has been producing solutions that enable competitive market advantages.

The Product Development team monitors the main trends and implements unique ideas in our projects.

The Market Intelligence and the Institutional Marketing areas are examples of other fronts that support the business areas with information and innovative ideas.

In addition to these, each year support areas such as planning and IT develop projects and tools for monitoring indicators and increasing efficiency in our internal processes, construction, sales, etc.

These teams also use funds allocated in all areas of the Company to implement and provide feedback for project development. We understand that the multidisciplinary contribution is essential for the evolution of new ideas within the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Gafisa’s Board of Directors is the decision making body responsible for formulating general guidelines and policies relating to the Company's business, including long-term strategies. In addition, the Board also names executive officers and oversees their activities.

The Board of Directors' decisions are ratified by the majority vote of its members. In the case of a tie, it is up to the President of the Board of Directors to cast the deciding vote, in addition to his/her individual vote.

The Board consists of seven members elected by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, of which six (86%) are independent, considering not only the independent concept of BM&FBovespa’s Novo Mercado, but also the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which is more restricted and requires that all listed companies have a board of directors comprised mostly of independent members, while BM&FBovespa’s regulations establish a minimum of 20% independent members. As required by the Novo Mercado Regulation, the members’ term is two years, re-election allowed and subject to removal from office by shareholders in a General Meeting.

The table below shows the members of the Board of Directors.

Independent Auditors

The Company's operating policy on contracting services unrelated to external audit from the independent auditors is based on principles that preserve the autonomy of the independent auditor.

Management Statement

The Management declares, in compliance with Article 25, Paragraph 1, items V and VI of CVM Instruction nº 480/2009, that they reviewed, discussed and agreed with the Financial Statements in this Report and views expressed in the opinion of the Independent Auditors regarding the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To shareholders and management of

Gafisa S.A.

São Paulo - SP

 

 

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Gafisa S.A. (the “Company”), identified as Company and Consolidated, respectively, comprising the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and the related statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flow for the year then ended, as well as the summary of main accounting practices and other notes to the financial statements.

 

Management responsibility for the financial statements

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and the fairly presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, as approved by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Independent auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these individual and consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian auditing standards and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements. The selected procedures depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatements of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil

In our opinion, the aforementioned individual (Company) financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gafisa S.A. as of December 31, 2015, and of its financial performance, and its  cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

 

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil and approved by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and the Brazilian National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (CFC)

In our opinion, the aforementioned individual and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Gafisa S.A. as of December 31, 2015, the consolidated financial performance and its  consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil and approved by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC).

 

Emphasis of a matter

As mentioned in Note 2.1, the individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS applicable to the Brazilian Real Estate Development Entities, also considers the Technical Orientation - OCPC 04 issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC). This technical orientation refers to the revenue recognition of this sector and involves matters related to the meaning and application of the concept of continuous transfer of the risks, benefits and control over real estate unit sales, as described in further details in Note 2.2.2. Our opinion is not modified regarding this matter.

 

Other matters

 

Statement of value added

We have also examined the individual (Company) and consolidated statements of value added for the year ended December 31,  2015, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management, the presentation of which is required by the Brazilian Corporate Legislation, and considered as supplemental information by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which do not require the disclosure of the statement of value added. These value added statements were submitted to the same previously described audit procedures and, in our opinion, are fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil taken as a whole.

1.    Operations

 

Gafisa S.A. ("Gafisa" or "Company") is a publicly traded company with registered office at Avenida das Nações Unidas, 8.501, 19th floor, in the city and state of São Paulo, Brazil and commenced its operations in 1997 with the objectives of: (i) promoting and managing all forms of real estate ventures on its own behalf or for third parties (in the latter case, as construction company and proxy); (ii) selling and purchasing real estate properties; (iii) providing civil construction and civil engineering services; (iv) developing and implementing marketing strategies related to its own and third party real estate ventures; and (v) investing in other companies who share similar objectives.

 

The Company has stocks traded at BM&FBovespa S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), reporting its information to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

The Company enters real estate development projects with third parties through specific purpose partnerships (“Sociedades de Propósito Específico” or “SPEs”) or through the formation of consortia and condominiums. Controlled entities substantially share managerial and operating structures, and corporate, managerial and operating costs with the Company. SPEs, condominiums and consortia operate solely in the real estate industry and are linked to specific ventures.

 

On April 29, 2015, following the material fact disclosed on February 7, 2014, the Company disclosed a new material fact informing to its shareholders and the market that the works for the potential separation of the business units Gafisa and Tenda continue to be carried out, aiming at fulfilling the conditions considered sufficient for its implementation. However, in view of the fact that the process for defining the capital structure is still in progress, and taking into account that such definition is a necessary step towards the separation process, the asset has not yet shown characteristics that enable its immediate separation under current conditions, and, accordingly, it is not yet possible to estimate a term for completing the potential separation.

2.    Presentation of financial statements and summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.1.    Basis of presentation and preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements

 

On March 3, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved these individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company and authorized their disclosure.

 

The individual financial statements, identified as “Company”, have been prepared and are being presented according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and are disclosed together with the consolidated financial statements.

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared and are being presented according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the CPC, approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), and according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

The individual financial statements of the Company are not considered in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), once they consider the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets of investees in the separate financial statements of the Company. In view of the fact that there is no difference between the Company’s and the consolidated equity and profit or loss, the Company opted for presenting the accompanying individual and consolidated information in only one set.

 

The consolidated financial statements are specifically in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, including the Guideline OCPC 04 - Application of the Technical Interpretation ICPC 02 to the Brazilian Real Estate Development Entities, in relation to the treatment of the recognition of revenue from this sector and involves certain matters related to application of the continuous transfer of the risks, rewards and control over the real estate units sold.

 

The presentation of the individual and consolidated Statement of Value Added (DVA) is required by the Brazilian corporate legislation and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to publicly-held companies and was prepared according to CVM Resolution 557, of November 12, 2008, which approved the accounting pronouncement CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added. The IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement. Consequently, under the IFRS, this statement is presented as additional information, without causing harm to the financial statements as a whole.

2.1.    Basis of presentation and preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements --Continued

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Management makes an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as going concern when preparing the financial statements.

All amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements are in thousands of Reais, except as otherwise stated.

 

 

2.1.1.    Consolidated financial statements

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of Gafisa and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed or is entitled to variable returns arising from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through the power that it exerts over the entity. The existence and the potential effects of voting rights, which are currently exercisable or convertible, are taken into account when evaluating whether the Company controls other entity. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the control is transferred and the consolidation is discontinued from the date control ceases.

 

The accounting practices were uniformly adopted in all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements and the fiscal year of these companies is the same of the Company. See further details in Note 9.

 

2.1.2.    Functional and presentation currency

 

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Real.

 

2.1.3.    Presentation of segment information

 

The presentation of operating segment information is consistent with the internal reports provided to the main decision makers of operational matters, the Board of Executive Officers and the Board of Directors, who are responsible for allocating resources, assessing the performance of operating segments and making strategic decisions.

2.2.    Summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.2.1.    Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

Accounting estimates and judgments are evaluated on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations on future events, considered reasonable under the circumstances.

 

(i)     Judgments

 

The preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date of financial statements.

 

(ii)    Estimates and assumptions

 

Assets and liabilities subject to estimates and assumptions include the provision for impairment of asset, transactions with share-based payment, provision for legal claims, fair value of financial instruments, measurement of the estimated cost of ventures, deferred tax assets, among others.

 

The main assumptions related to sources of uncertainty over future estimates and other important sources of uncertainty over estimates at the reporting date, which may result in different amounts upon settlement are discussed below:

 

a)      Impairment of non-financial assets

 

An impairment loss exists when the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

 

The calculation of the fair value less cost to sell is based on available information on sale transactions of similar assets or market prices less additional costs of disposal. The calculation of the value in use is based on the discounted cash flow model.

 

Cash flows are derived from the budget for the following five years, and do not include uncommitted restructuring activities or future significant investments that will improve the asset basis of the cash-generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used under the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash inflows and to the growth rate used for purposes of extrapolation.

(ii)    Estimates and assumptions --Continued

 

a)      Impairment of non-financial assets--Continued

 

Indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill attributable to future economic benefit are tested at least annually or when circumstances indicate a decrease in the carrying value. The main assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of cash-generating unit are detailed in Note 11.

 

b)    Share-based payment transactions

 

The Company measures the cost of transactions with employees to be settled with shares based on the fair value of equity instruments on the grant date. For cash-settled share-based transactions, the liability is required to be remeasured at the end of each reporting period through the settlement date, recognizing in profit or loss possible changes in fair value, which requires revaluation of the estimates used at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of the fair value of share-based payments requires the determination of the most adequate pricing model to grant equity instruments, which depends on the grant terms and conditions.

 

It also requires the determination of the most adequate data for the pricing model, including the expected option life, volatility and dividend income, and the corresponding assumptions. The assumptions and models used to estimate the fair value of share-based payments are disclosed in Note 18.3.

 

c)    Provision for legal claims

 

The Company recognizes a provision for tax, labor and civil claims (Note 16). The assessment of the probability of a loss includes the evaluation of the available evidences, the hierarchy of laws, existing case law, the latest court decisions and their significance in the judicial system, and the opinion of external legal counsel. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account the changes in circumstances, such as applicable statutes of limitations, findings of tax inspections, or additional exposures found based on new court issues or decisions.

(ii)    Estimates and assumptions --Continued

 

c)     Provision for legal claims --Continued

 

There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of complex tax rules and in the value and timing of future taxable income. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to assessments, audits, legal claims and administrative proceedings in civil, tax and labor matters.

 

d)    Fair value of financial instruments

 

When the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities presented in the balance sheet cannot be obtained in the active market, it is determined using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method.

 

The data for such methods is based on those available market information; however, when it is not viable, a certain level of judgment is required to establish the fair value. The judgment includes considerations regarding the data used, such as interest rates, liquidity risk, credit risk, and volatility. Changes in the assumptions about these factors may affect the stated fair value of financial instruments.

 

e)    Estimated cost of construction

 

Estimated costs, mainly comprising the incurred and estimated costs for completing the construction projects, are regularly reviewed, based on the progress of construction, and any resulting adjustments are recognized in profit or loss of the Company. The effects of such estimate reviews affect the statement of profit or loss.

 

f)     Realization of deferred income tax

 

The initial recognition and further analysis of the realization of a deferred tax asset is carried out when it is probable that a taxable profit will be available in subsequent years to offset the deferred tax asset, based on projections of results and based on internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that enable its total or partial use.

 

The other provisions recognized in the Company are described in Note 2.2.23.

(a)     For the sales of completed units, revenues are recognized upon completion of the sale and the transfer of significant risks and rewards, regardless of the timing of receipt from the customer.

 

(b)    For the construction phase pre-sale of completed units:

 

·   The incurred cost (including cost of land, and other directly related expenditure) that corresponds to the units sold is included in profit or loss. For the units not yet sold, the incurred cost is included in inventory (Note 2.2.7);

·   Sales revenues are appropriated to profit or loss, using the percentage-of-completion method for each venture, this percentage being measured in view of the incurred cost in relation to the total estimated cost of the respective ventures;

·   Sales revenues recognized in excess of actual payments received from customers is recorded as either a current asset or long-term receivables in “Trade accounts receivable”. Any payment received in connection with the sales of units that exceeds the amount of revenues recognized is recorded as “Payables for purchase of land and advances from customers ";

·   Interest and inflation-indexation charges on accounts receivable as from the time the units are sold and delivered, as well as the adjustment to present value of account receivable, are included in the real estate development and sales when incurred, on a pro rata basis using the accrual basis of accounting;

·   Financial charges on account payable for acquisition of land and those directly associated with the financing of construction are capitalized and recorded in properties for sale and included in the incurred cost of units under construction until their completion, and follow the same recognition criteria as the cost of real estate development for units sold while under construction;

(i)     Real estate development and sales --Continued

 

·   Taxes levied and deferred on the difference between real estate development revenues and the cumulative revenue subject to tax are calculated and recognized when this difference in revenues is recognized; and;

 

·   Other expenses, including advertising and publicity, are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.

 

(ii)    Construction services

 

Revenues from real estate services are recognized as services are rendered and tied to the construction management activities for third parties and technical advisory services.

 

(iii)   Barter transactions

 

Barter transactions have the objective of receiving land from third parties that are settled with the delivery of real estate units or transfer of portions of the revenue from the sale of real estate units of ventures. The land acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries is determined based on fair value, as a component of inventories, with a corresponding entry to advances from customers in liabilities. Revenues and costs incurred from barter transactions are included in profit or loss over the course of construction period of ventures, as previously described in item (b).

 

2.2.3.    Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments are recognized from the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of financial instruments, which mainly comprise cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, account receivable, loans and financing, suppliers, and other debts.

 

After initial recognition, financial instruments are measured as described below:

2.2.3.    Financial instruments --Continued

 

(i)     Financial instruments through profit or loss

 

A financial instrument is classified into fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading, or designated as such when initially recognized.

 

Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages these investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented investment strategy or risk management. After initial recognition, related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and their changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company held derivative financial instruments with the objective of mitigating the risk of its exposure to the volatility of indices and interest rates, recognized at the fair value directly in profit or loss. In accordance with its treasury policies, the Company does not have or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than for hedging.

 

The Company does not adopt the hedge accounting practice.

 

 (ii)   Financial assets

 

       Financial assets are classified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at their initial recognition, when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

       Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not designated at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs are directly attributable to their acquisition.

 

       The financial assets of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments.

       Derecognition (write-off)

 

       A financial asset (or, as the case may be, a portion of a financial asset or portion of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

 

·         The rights to receive cash inflows of an asset expire;

 

·         The Company transfers its rights to receive cash inflows of an asset or assume an obligation of fully pay the cash inflows received, without significant delay, to a third party because of a “transfer” agreement; and (a) the Company substantially transfers the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company does not substantially transfer or retain all risks and rewards related to the asset, but transfers the control over the asset.

 

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash inflows of an asset, and signed an agreement to pass it on, and has not substantially transferred or has retained all risks and rewards related to the asset, an asset is recognized to the extent of the continuous involvement of the Company with the asset. In this case, the Company also recognizes a related liability. The transferred asset and related liability are measured based on the rights and obligations that the Company has maintained.

 

The continuous involvement by means of a guarantee on the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying value of the asset and the highest consideration that may be required from the Company.

 

 (iii)  Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

 

       Financial liabilities through profit or loss include trading financial liabilities and financial liabilities designated as such upon initial recognition.

 

      

       Loans and financing

 

       Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and financing accruing interest are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit or loss, at the time liabilities are written-off, as well as during the amortization process using the effective interest rate method.

(iii)   Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss --Continued

 

       Derecognition (write-off)

 

       A financial liability is derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expires.

 

       When an existing financial liability is substituted by another from the same creditor, under substantially different terms, or when the terms of an existing liability are significantly modified, this substitution or change is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference in the corresponding carrying values is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Financial instrument – net presentation

 

Financial assets and liabilities are stated at their net amounts in the balance sheet when, and only when, there is a current and enforceable legal right to offset the amounts, and if there is intention to offset them or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legal right shall not be contingent in future events and shall be applicable in the normal course of business, and in case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or counterparty.

 

2.2.4.    Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments

 

Cash and cash equivalents substantially comprise demand deposits and bank certificates of deposit held under resale agreements, denominated in Reais, with high market liquidity and original contractual maturities of 90 days or less, and for which there are no penalties or other restrictions for the immediate redemption thereof.

 

Cash equivalents are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and are recorded at the original amounts plus income earned, calculated on a “pro rata basis", which are equivalent to their market values, not having any impact to be accounted for in the Company’s equity.

 

Short-term investments include bank deposit certificates, federal government bonds, exclusive investment funds that are fully consolidated, and collaterals, which are classified at fair value through profit or loss (Note4.2).

2.2.5.    Trade account receivable

 

These are presented at present and realization values. The classification between current and noncurrent is made based on the expected maturity of contract installments.

 

The installments due are indexed based on the National Civil Construction Index (INCC) during the period of construction, and based on the General Market Prices Index (IGP-M) and interest at 12% p.a., after the delivery of the units.

 

The adjustment to present value is calculated between the contract signature date and the estimated date to transfer the completed property’ keys to the buyer, using a discount rate represented by the average rate of the financing obtained by the Company, net of inflation, as mentioned in Note 2.2.20.

 

The reversal of the present value adjustment, considering that an important part of the Company operations consists of financing its clients until key delivery, was carried out as contra-entry to the group of real estate development revenue, consistently with interest incurred on the portion of receivables balance related to the period subsequent to the handover of keys.

 

2.2.6.    Mortgage-backed Securities (CRIs) and Housing Loan Certificate (CCI)

 

The Company and its subsidiaries carry out the assignment and/or securitization of receivables related to receivables with collateral of completed projects and those still under construction. This securitization is carried out through the issuance of the Housing Loan Certificate (“Cédula de Crédito Imobiliário” or “CCI”), which is assigned to financial institutions that grant loans. When there is no right of recourse, this assignment is recorded as reduction of accounts receivable. When there is right of recourse against the Company, the assigned receivable is maintained in the balance sheet and the funds from assignment are classified into the account “Obligations assumed on assignment of receivable”, until certificates are settled by customers.

 

In this situation, the transaction cost is recorded in “financial expenses” in the statement of profit or loss for the year in which is made.

 

When there are financial guarantees, represented by the acquisition of subordinated CRI, they are recorded on the balance sheet as “short-term investments” at the realizable value, which is equivalent to fair value.

2.2.7.    Properties for sale

 

The Company and its subsidiaries acquire land for future real estate developments, on payment conditions in current currency or through barter transactions. Land acquired through barter transaction is stated at fair value, and the revenue and cost are recognized according to the criteria described in Note 2.2.2 (iii).

 

Properties are stated at construction cost, and decreased by the provision when it exceeds its net realizable value. In the case of real estate under construction, the portion in inventories corresponds to the cost incurred for units that have not yet been sold.  The incurred cost comprises construction costs (materials, own or outsourced labor, and other related items), and legal expenses relating to the acquisition of land and projects, land costs and financial charges which relate to a project over the construction period.

 

The classification of land between current and noncurrent assets is made by Management based on the expected period for launching real estate ventures. Management periodically revises the estimates of real estate ventures launches.

 

2.2.8.    Selling expenses - commissions

 

Brokerage expenditures are recorded in profit or loss under the account “Selling expenses” employing the same percentage-of-completion criteria adopted for revenue recognition. The charges related to sales commission of the buyer are not recognized as revenue or expense of the Company.

 

2.2.9.    Prepaid expenses

 

These are recognized in profit or loss as incurred using the accrual basis of accounting.

2.2.10.  Land available for sale

 

Land available for sale is measured at the lower of the carrying value and the fair value less the costs to sell and is classified as held for sale if its carrying value is to be recovered through a sale transaction of the land. This condition is considered fulfilled only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale under its current condition. Management shall undertake to sell it in a year after the classification date.

 

2.2.11.  Investments in subsidiaries

 

Investments in subsidiaries are recorded in the Company using the equity method.

 

When the Company's equity in the losses of subsidiaries is equal to or higher than the amount invested, the Company recognizes the residual portion in net capital deficiency since it assumes obligations and makes payments on behalf of these companies. For this purpose, the Company recognizes a provision at an amount considered appropriate to meet the obligations of the subsidiary (Note 9).

 

2.2.12.  Property and equipment

 

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and/or any accumulated impairment losses, if applicable.

 

An item of property and equipment is derecognized when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition.

 

Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method considering the estimated useful lives of the assets (Note 10).

 

Expenditures incurred in the construction of sales stands, display apartments and related furnishings are capitalized as property and equipment of the Company and its subsidiaries. Depreciation of these assets commences upon launch of the development and is recorded over the average term the stand is in use and is written-off when it is retired.

 

Property and equipment are subject to periodic assessments of impairment.

(ii)     The Company’s investments in subsidiaries include goodwill when the acquisition cost exceeds the market value of net assets of the acquiree.

 

The goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 refers to acquisitions before the date of transition to CPC/IFRS (January 1, 2009), and the Company opted to not retrospectively recognize the acquisitions of investments before the transition date, to adjust any of the respective goodwill.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill is performed at least annually  or whenever circumstances indicate an impairment loss.

 

2.2.14.  Payables for purchase of properties and advances from customer due to barter

 

Payables for purchase of land are recognized at the amounts corresponding to the contractual obligations assumed. Subsequently they are measured at amortized cost, plus interest and charges proportional to the incurred period (“pro rata” basis), net of present value adjustment.

 

The obligations related to barter transactions of land in exchange for real estate units are stated at fair value of the units to be delivered.

2.2.15.  Income tax and social contribution

 

(i)      Current income tax and social contribution

 

Current income tax is the expected tax payable or receivable/to be offset in relation to taxable profit for the year. In the year 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries used the Brazilian Transitory Tax Regime (RTT), which permitted the exclusion of the effect from the changes, introduced by Laws No. 11,638/2007 and No. 11,941/2009, in the tax basis of such taxes.

Income taxes in Brazil comprise income tax (25%) and social contribution (9%), for entities on the standard profit regime, for which the composite statutory rate is 34%. Deferred taxes for these entities are recognized on all temporary tax differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying values.

 

As permitted by tax legislation, certain subsidiaries opted for the presumed profit regime, a method under which the taxable profit is calculated as a percentage of gross sales. For these companies, the income tax is calculated on estimated profits at rate of 8% and 12% of gross revenues, respectively, on which the rates of the respective tax and contribution are levied.

 

As permitted by legislation, the development of certain ventures are subject to the “afetação” regime, based on which the land and its features where a real estate will be developed, as well as other binding assets and rights, are separated from the assets of the developer and comprise the “patrimônio de afetação” (detached assets) of the corresponding development and which real estate units will be delivered to the buyers. In addition, certain subsidiaries made the irrevocable option for the Special Taxation Regime (RET), adopting the "patrimônio de afetação", according to which the income tax and social contribution are calculated at 1.92% on gross revenues (4% also levying PIS and COFINS on revenues).

(ii)     Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

Deferred taxes are recognized in relation to tax losses and temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes.

 

They are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset deferred tax assets, based on profit projections made using internal assumptions and considering future economic scenarios that make it possible their full or partial use, upon the recognition of a provision for the non-realization of the balance. The recognized amounts are periodically reviewed and the impacts of realization or settlement are reflected in compliance with tax legislation provisions.

 

Deferred tax on accumulated tax losses does not have an expiration date, however, they can only be offset against up to 30% of the taxable profit for each year. Companies that opt for the presumed profit tax regime cannot offset tax losses for a period in subsequent years.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are stated at net amount in the balance sheet when there is the legal right and intention to offset them when determining the current taxes, related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

 

2.2.16.  Other current and non-current liabilities

 

These liabilities are stated at their known or estimated amounts, plus, when applicable, adjustment for charges and inflation-indexed variations through the balance sheet date, which contra-entry is recorded in profit or loss. When applicable, current and non-current liabilities are recorded at present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction.

2.2.17.  Stock option plans

 

As approved by its Board of Directors, the Company offers executives and employees share-based compensation plans (“Stock Options”), as payments for services received.

 

The fair value of options is determined on the grant date, considering that it is recognized as expense in profit or loss (as contra-entry to equity), to the extent services are provided by employees and executives.

 

In an equity-settled transaction, in which the plan is modified, a minimum expense is recognized corresponding to the expense as if the terms have not been changed. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of granted options, or that otherwise benefits the employee, measured on the modification date.

 

In case of cancellation of a stock option plan, this is treated as if it had been granted on the cancellation date, and any unrecognized plan expense is immediately recognized. However, if a new plan replaces the cancelled plan, and a substitute plan is designated on the grant date, the cancelled plan and the new plan are treated as if they were a modification of the original plan, as previously mentioned.

 

The Company annually revises its estimates of the amount of options that shall be vested, considering the vesting conditions not related to the market and the conditions based on length of service. The Company recognizes the impact of the revision of the initial estimates, if any, in the statement of profit or loss, as contra-entry to equity.

 

2.2.18.  Share-based payment – Phantom Shares

 

            The Company has a cash-settled share-based payment plan (phantom shares) under fixed terms and conditions. There is no expectation of the effective negotiation of shares, once there shall be no issue and/or delivery of shares for settling the plan.

            According to CPC 10 (R1) – Share-based Payment, these amounts are recorded as a reserve payable, with contra-entry in profit or loss for the year, based on the fair value of the phantom shares granted, and during the vesting period. The fair value of this liability is remeasured and adjusted every reporting period, according to the change in the fair value of the benefit granted and vesting.

2.2.19.  Other employee benefits

 

The salaries and benefits granted to the Company’s employees and executives include fixed compensation (salaries, social security contributions (INSS), Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees (FGTS), vacation and 13th monthly salary, among other) and variable compensation such as profit sharing, bonus, and share-based payments. These benefits are recorded in profit or loss for the year, under the account “General and administrative expenses”, as they are incurred.  

 

The bonus system operates with individual corporate targets, structured based on the efficiency of corporate goals, followed by the business goals and, finally, individual goals.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries do not offer private pension or retirement plans.

 

2.2.20.  Present value adjustment – assets and liabilities

 

Assets and liabilities arising from long or short-term transactions are adjusted to present value if significant.

 

In installment sales of not completed units, real estate development entities adjust receivables by an inflation index, including the installment related to the delivery of units, without accrual of interest, and shall be discounted to present value, as the agreed inflation indexes do not include interest.

 

Borrowing costs and those related to finance the construction of real estate ventures are capitalized. Therefore, the reversal of the present value adjustment of an obligation related to these items is included in the cost of real estate unit sold or in the inventories of properties for sale, as the case may be, until the period of construction of the project is completed.

 

Accordingly, certain assets and liabilities are adjusted to present value based on discount rates that reflect the best estimate of the value of the money over time.

 

The applied discount rate’s underlying economic basis and assumption is the average rate of the financing and loans obtained by the Company, net of the inflation-index effect (Notes 5 and 12).

2.2.21.  Debenture and public offering costs

 

Transaction costs and premiums on issuance of securities are accounted for as a direct reduction of amount raised by the Company. In addition, transaction costs and premiums on issuance of debt securities are amortized over the terms of the instrument and the net balance is classified as reduction of the respective transaction (Note 13).

 

2.2.22.  Borrowing costs

 

The borrowing costs directly attributable to the development of assets for sale and land are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset during the construction period, since there is borrowings outstanding, which are recognized in profit or loss to the extent units are sold. All other borrowing costs are recorded as expense when incurred. Borrowing costs comprise interest and other related costs incurred, including those for raising finance.

 

Charges that are not recognized in profit or loss of subsidiaries are recorded in the financial statements of the Company, in the account investments in non-current assets (Note 9).

 

2.2.23.  Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

 

(i)     Provision for legal claims

 

The Company is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings. Provisions are recognized for all demands related to lawsuits which expectation of loss is considered probable.

 

Contingent liabilities for which losses are considered possible are only disclosed in a note to financial statements, and those for which losses are considered remote are neither accrued nor disclosed.

Contingent assets are recognized only when there are real guarantees or favorable final and unappealable court decisions. Contingent assets with probable favorable decisions are only disclosed in the notes. As of December 31,  2015 and 2014 there are no claims involving contingent assets recorded in the balance sheet of the Company.

 

(ii)    Allowance for doubtful account and cancelled contracts

 

The Company reviews annually its assumptions related to the establishment of its allowance for doubtful account and cancelled contracts, taking into account the review of the histories of its current operations and improvement of estimates.

 

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts and cancelled contracts for customers whose installments are past due, based on the assumptions made about each segment of the Company. This allowance is calculated based on the percentage of completion of the construction work, a methodology adopted for recognizing profit or loss for the year (Note 2.2.2).

 

(iii)   Provision for penalties due to delay in construction work

 

As contractually provided, the Company has the practice of provisioning the charges payable to eligible customers for projects whose delivery is delayed over 180 days, pursuant to the respective contractual clause and history of payments.

 

 (iv)  Warranty provision

 

       The Company and its subsidiaries recognize a provision to cover expenditures for repairing construction defects covered during the warranty period, based on the estimate that considers the history of incurred expenditures adjusted by the future expectation, except for the subsidiaries that operate with outsourced companies, which are the direct guarantors of the constructions services provided. The warranty period is five years from the delivery of the venture.

(v)    Provision for impairment of non-financial assets

 

When there is evidence of impairment of asset, and the net carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, a provision for impairment is recorded, adjusting the net carrying to the recoverable value. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have the recovery of their amounts tested annually, regardless whether there is any indication of impairment, by comparing to the realization value measured by cash flows discounted to present value, using a discount rate before taxes, which reflects the weighted average cost of capital of the Company.

 

2.2.24.  Sales taxes

 

Expenses and assets are recognized net of sales taxes, except:

 

·   When the sales taxes incurred in the purchase of goods or services are not recoverable from tax authorities, in which event sales taxes are recognized as a portion of the acquisition cost of the asset or expense item, as the case may be; and

·   When the amounts receivable and payable are shown together with the sales taxes.

 

·   When the net amount of sales taxes, recoverable or payable, is included as a receivables or payable item in the balance sheet.

 

Under the non-cumulative taxation regime, the PIS and COFINS contribution rates are 1.65% and 7.6%, respectively, for companies under the taxable profit taxation regime, levied on gross revenue and discounting certain credits determined based on incurred costs and expenses. For companies that opt for the presumed profit taxation regime, under the cumulative taxation regime, the PIS and COFINS contribution rates are 0.65% and 3%, respectively, on gross revenue, without discounts of credits in relation to incurred costs and expenses.

 

2.2.25.  Treasury shares

 

Own equity instruments that are repurchased (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and charged to equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the statement of profit or loss upon purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

2.2.26.  Interest on equity and dividends

 

The proposal for distributing dividends and interest on equity made by Management that is in the portion equivalent to the minimum mandatory dividend is recorded as current liabilities in the heading “Dividends payable”, as it is considered a legal obligation provided for in the By-laws of the Company.

 

For corporate and accounting purposes, the interest on equity is reported as allocation of profit directly to equity at gross amount.

 

2.2.27.  Earnings (loss) per share – basic and diluted

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable (allocated) to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar manner, except that the shares outstanding are increased, to include the additional shares that would be outstanding, in case the shares with dilutive potential attributable to stock option had been issued over the respective periods, using the weighted average price of shares.

3.    New standards, changes and interpretation of standards issued and not yet adopted

 

·            IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9 includes the reviewed guidance on classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating the impairment of financial assets and new requirements for hedge accounting. The standard maintains the existing guidance on the recognition and derecognition of financial instruments of IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

 

·            IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

This standard introduces new requirements for measurement and recognition of revenue under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP. The IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for the control over such goods or services. The new standard is going to replace most of the detailed guidance on the recognition of revenue that currently exists under the IFRS and U.S. GAAP when it is adopted. The new standard is applicable beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The standard can be applied retrospectively, adopting a cumulative effect approach.

 

·            IFRS 16 – Leases

 

This standard replaces the previous lease standard, IAS 17/CPC 06 (R1) – Leases, and related interpretation, and establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, that is, the customers (lessees) and providers (lessors).  Lessors are required to recognize a lease liability reflecting the future lease payments and a “right-of-use assets” for practically all lease contracts, except certain short-term leases and contracts of low-value assets. For lessors, the criteria for recognition and measurement of leases in the financial statements are substantially maintained. This standard is effective beginning on January 1, 2019.

 

The Company is evaluating the effects of the IFRS 9, 15 and 16 on its financial statements and has not yet concluded its analysis on the impact of their adoption.

 

The Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) has not yet issued an accounting pronouncement or change to effective pronouncements corresponding to all of the new IFRS. Accordingly, entities that disclose their financial statements according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil are not permitted to early adopt such IFRS.

 

There is no other standard, changes to standards or interpretation issued and not yet adopted that could, on the Management’s opinion, have significant impact arising from their adoption on its financial statements.

(a)   Structure of exclusive Investment funds aimed at earning interest on funds in excess of the variation in the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI). These funds have mandates of risks that are periodically monitored and observe the internal investment policies in effect.

 

(b)   As of December 31, 2015, Bank Certificates of Deposit (CDBs) include interest earned through the balance sheet date, varying from 90% to 107% (from 70% to 108% in 2014) of Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI) rate. The CDBs earn an average income in excess of those from securities purchased under resale agreements; however, the Company invests in short term (up to 20 working days) through securities purchased under resale agreements taking into account the exemption of IOF, which is not granted in the case of CDBs. 

 

(c)   Restricted cash in guarantee to loans are investments in fixed-income funds, with appreciation of shares through investments only in federal government bonds, indexed to fixed rates or to price indexes, and pledged to guarantee a portion of the Company’s issuances. These amounts are periodically released, when there is a surplus of guarantee in the issuance and/or as provided for in the indenture. See further information in Notes 13 and 16(b).

 

(d)   Restricted credits are represented by onlending of the funds from associate credit (“crédito associativo”), a type of government real estate financing, which are in process of approval at the Caixa Econômica Federal (a Federally owned Brazilian bank used for real estate financing purpose). These approvals are made to the extent the contracts signed with customers at the financial institutions are regularized, which the Company expect to be in up to 90 days.

The balance of accounts receivable from units sold and not yet delivered is not fully reflected in the financial statements. The recovery is limited to the portion of the recorded revenues net of the amounts already received, according to the accounting practice mentioned in Note 2.2.2(i)(b).

 

As of December 31, 2015, the amount received from customers in excess of the recognized revenues totaled R$19,337 (R$12,939 in 2014) in the Company’s statements, and R$39,743 (R$21,236 in 2014) in the consolidated financial statements, and are classified in the heading “Payables for purchase of properties and advances from customers" (Note 17).

 

Accounts receivable from completed real estate units financed by the Company are in general subject to IGP-M variation plus annual interest of 12%, with revenue being recorded in profit or loss in the account “Revenue from real estate development and sale, barter transactions and construction services". The interest amounts recognized, in the Company and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 totaled R$29,866 (R$23,134 in 2014), and R$39,844 (R$36,216 in 2014), respectively.

 

The balances of allowance for doubtful accounts and cancelled contracts, are considered sufficient by the Company’s management to cover the estimate of future losses on realization of the accounts receivable.

The reversal of the present value adjustment recognized in revenue from real estate development for the year ended December 31, 2015 totaled R$4,432 (R$3,457 in 2014) in the Company’s statements and R$6,410 (R$1,660 in 2014) in the consolidated statements.

 

Receivables from units not yet completed were measured at present value using a discount rate determined according to the criteria described in Note 2.2.2. The discount rate applied by the Company and its subsidiaries ranged from 6.78% for the year 2015 (3.27 to 4.64% in 2014), net of Civil Construction National Index (INCC).

Other intangible assets comprise expenditures on the acquisition and implementation of information systems and software licenses, amortized over the average term of five years (20% per year).

 

Goodwill arises from the difference between the consideration and the equity of acquirees, calculated on acquisition date, and is based on the expectation of future economic benefits.

 

The Company evaluated the recovery of the carrying value of goodwill using the “value in use” concept, applying discounted cash flow models of the cash-generating units. The process for determining the value in use involves the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates relating to cash flows, such as growth rate of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investment and future working capital, and discount rates. The assumptions relating to growth, cash flow and future cash flows are based on the Company’s business plan, approved by the management, as well as on comparable market data, and represent the Management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will prevail during the economic life of the different cash-generating units, group of assets that provides the generation of cash flows. The future cash flows were discounted based on the rate representative of the cost of capital. Consistent with the economic valuation techniques, the evaluation of the value in use is made for a five-year period, and after such period, considering the perpetuity of assumptions in view of the capacity for indefinite business continuity. The main assumptions used in the estimate of value in use are the following: a) revenue – revenues were projected between 2016 and 2020 considering the growth in sales and client base of the different cash-generating units; b) Operating costs and expenses – costs and expenses were projected in line with the Company’s historical performance, as well as the historical growth of revenues. The key assumptions were based on the Company’s historical performance over the past five years and on reasonable macroeconomic assumptions, and supported by the financial market projections. The impairment test of the Company’s intangible assets did not result in the need for recognizing a provision for impairment loss in the year ended December 31, 2015 (R$17,604 in 2014, related to the goodwill on acquisition of Cipesa).

16.  Provisions for legal claims and commitments --Continued

 

(a)     Civil lawsuits, tax proceedings and labor claims --Continued

 

(i)      As of December 31, 2015, the provisions related to civil lawsuits include R$42,296 (R$65,016 in 2014) related to lawsuits in which the Company is included in the defendant side to be liable for in and out of court debts which original debtor is a former shareholder of the Company, Cimob Companhia Imobiliária (“Cimob”), or involve other companies of the same economic group of Cimob. In these lawsuits, the plaintiff argues that the Company should be liable for Cimob’s debts, because in its understanding the requirements for piercing of the corporate veil of Cimob to reach the Company (business succession, merger of assets and/or formation of a same economic group involving the Company and the Cimob Group). In addition, there is judicial deposit in the amount of R$44,099 (R$62,381 in 2014) related to these lawsuits.

 

The Company does not agree with the statement of facts based on which it has been included in these lawsuits and continues to dispute in court its liability for the debts of a third company, as well as the amount charged by the plaintiffs. The Company has already obtained favorable and unfavorable decisions in relation to this matter, reason why it is not possible to estimate a uniform outcome in all lawsuits. The Company also aims by filing a lawsuit against Cimob and its former and current parent companies the recognition that it should not be liable for the debts of that company, as well as indemnity of the amounts already paid by the Company in lawsuits relating to the charge of debts owed only by Cimob.

 

(ii)     The former subsidiary AUSA, current associate, is a party to lawsuits and administrative proceedings related to Excise Tax (IPI) and State VAT (ICMS) on two imports of aircraft in 2001 and 2005, respectively, under lease agreements without purchase option.

 

According to the negotiation of the sale of controlling interest of 70% in AUSA, it was agreed that the Company would cover the court costs in the event of unfavorable decision. The likelihood of loss in the ICMS case was reviewed in 2015, in view of case law, and considered remote by the legal counsel (R$16,638 in 2014, classified as likelihood of probable loss).

 

(iii)    Environmental risk

 

There are various environmental laws at the federal, state and municipal levels. These environmental laws may result in delays for the Company in connection with adjustments for compliance and other costs, and impede or restrict ventures. Before acquiring a land, the Company assesses all necessary and applicable environmental issues, including the possible existence of hazardous or toxic materials, residual substance, trees, vegetation and the proximity of the land to permanent preservation areas. Therefore, before acquiring land, the Company obtains all governmental approvals, including environmental licenses and construction permits.

16.  Provisions for legal claims and commitments --Continued

 

(a)   Civil lawsuits, tax proceedings and labor claims --Continued

 

(iii)        Environmental risk--Continued

 

In addition, the environmental legislation establishes criminal, civil and administrative sanctions to individuals and legal entities for activities considered as environmental infringements or offense. The penalties include the stop of development activities, loss of tax benefits, confinement and fines. The lawsuits in dispute by the Company in civil court are considered by the legal advisor as possible loss in the amount of R$4,829 (R$11,987 in 2014) in the Company’s statement and R$8,639 (R$13,734 in 2014) in the consolidated statement.

 

(iv)    Lawsuits in which likelihood of loss is rated as possible

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries are aware of other claims and civil, labor and tax risks. Based on the history of probable processes and the specific analysis of main claims, the measurement of the claims with likelihood of loss considered possible amounted to R$810,163 (R$561,056 in 2014), based on average past outcomes adjusted to current estimates, for which the Company’s Management believes it is not necessary to recognize a provision for occasional losses. The change in the period was caused by the higher volume of lawsuits with smaller amounts and review of the involved amounts and tax proceedings in which subsidiary Tenda is defendant.

The use of financial instruments with the objective of hedging is achieved through a periodical analysis of exposure to the risk that the management intends to cover (exchange, interest rate, etc.) which is submitted to the corresponding Management bodies for approval and performance of the proposed strategy. The control policy consists of continuously monitoring the contracted conditions in relation to the prevailing market conditions. The Company and its subsidiaries do not use derivatives or any other risky assets for speculative purposes. The result from these operations is consistent with the policies and strategies devised by Company management. The Company and its subsidiaries operations are subject to the risk factors described below:

 

 (i)    Risk considerations

 

a)    Credit risk

 

The Company and its subsidiaries restrict their exposure to credit risks associated with cash and cash equivalents, investing only in short-term securities of top tier financial institutions.

 

With regards to accounts receivable, the Company restricts its exposure to credit risks through sales to a broad base of customers and ongoing credit analysis. Additionally, there is no relevant history of losses due to the existence of secured guarantee, represented by real estate unit, for the recovery of its products in the cases of default during the construction period. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no significant credit risk concentration associated with clients.

 

b)    Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company holds derivative instruments to mitigate the risk arising from its exposure to index and interest volatility recognized at their fair value in profit or loss for the year. Pursuant to its treasury policies, the Company does not own or issue derivative financial instruments other than for hedging purposes.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had derivative contracts for hedging purposes in relation to interest fluctuations, with final maturity between June 2016 and January 2020. The derivative contracts are as follows:

(a)      On March 17, 2015, the Company bought derivative swap transaction to mitigate the exposure to the floating rate at IPCA + 8.22% p.a. of the tenth Debenture Placement of the Company to 120% of CDI (Note 13).

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the amount of R$17,151 (R$7,492 in 2014) in the Company’s and consolidated statements, which refers to net result of the interest swap transaction, was recognized in the “financial income (expenses)” line in the statement of profit or loss for the year, allowing correlation between the impact of such transactions and interest rate fluctuation in the Company’s balance sheet (Note 24).

 

       The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments contracted by the Company was determined based on information available in the market and specific valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment was necessary for interpreting market data to produce the estimated fair value of each transaction, which may vary upon the financial settlement of transactions.

 

c)    Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that the Company and its subsidiaries may experience gains or losses because of fluctuations in the interest rates of its financial assets and liabilities. Aiming to mitigating this kind of risk, the Company and its subsidiaries seek to diversify funding in terms of fixed and floating rates. The interest rates on loans, financing and debentures are disclosed in Notes 12 and 13. The interest rates contracted on financial investments are disclosed in Note 4. Accounts receivable from real estate units completed (Note 5), are subject to annual interest rate of 12%, appropriated on a pro rata basis.

d)    Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Company and its subsidiaries do not have sufficient funds to meet their commitments as they become due.

 

To mitigate liquidity risks, and to optimize the weighted average cost of capital, the Company and its subsidiaries monitor on an on-going basis the indebtedness levels according to the market standards and the fulfillment of covenants provided for in loan, financing and debenture agreements, in order to guarantee that the operating-cash generation and the advance funding, when necessary, are sufficient to meet the schedule of commitments, not posing liquidity risk to the Company or its subsidiaries (Notes 12 and 13).

Fair value classification

 

The Company uses the following classification to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by the valuation technique:

 

Level 1: quoted prices (without adjustments) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: input different from the quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are observable, directly (as prices) or indirectly (prices derivate); and

 

Level 3: inputs to asset or liability not based on observable market data (nonobservable inputs).

a)    Fair value measurement

 

The following estimate fair values were determined using available market information and proper measurement methodologies. However, a considerable amount of judgment is necessary to interpret market information and estimate fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented in this document are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in the current market. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodology may have a significant effect on estimated fair values.

b)      Risk of debt acceleration

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has loans and financing, with restrictive covenants related to cash generation, indebtedness ratios and other. These restrictive covenants have been complied with by the Company and do not limit its ability to conduct its business as usual.

 

c)      Market risk

 

The Company carries out the development, construction and sales of real estate ventures. In addition to the risks that affect the real estate market as a whole, such as supply disruptions and volatility in the prices of construction materials and equipment, changes in the supply and demand for ventures in certain regions, strikes and environmental rules and zoning, the Company’s operations are particularly affected by the following risks:

 

·   The state of the economy of Brazil, which may inhibit the development of the real estate industry as a whole, through the slowdown in economy, increase in interest rates, fluctuation of currency and political instability, besides other factors.

·   Future impediments, as a result of a new regulation or market conditions, to adjust for inflation receivables using certain inflation indexes, as currently permitted, which could make a venture financially or economically unviable.

·   The level of interest of buyers in a new venture launched or the sale price per unit necessary to sell all units may be below expectations, making the venture less profitable than expected.

·   In the event of bankruptcy or significant financial difficulties of a large company of the real estate industry, the industry as a whole may be adversely affected, which could decrease the customer confidence in other companies operating in the industry.

·   Local and regional real estate market conditions, such as oversupply, land shortage or significant increase in land acquisition cost.

·   Risk of buyers having a negative perception of the security, convenience and appeal of the Company’s properties, as well as about their location.

·   The Company’s profit margins may be affected by the increase in operating costs, including investments, insurance premium, taxes in general and government rates.

·   The opportunities for development may decrease.

·   The building and sale of real estate units may not be completed as scheduled, thus increasing the construction costs or cancellation of sale contracts and fines for delay in construction work.

·   Delinquency after the delivery of units acquired on credit. The Company has the right to file a collection action to receive the amounts due and/or repossess the real estate unit from the delinquent buyer, not being possible to guarantee that it will be able to recover the total amount of the debt balance or, once the real estate unit is repossessed, its sale on satisfactory conditions.

·   Occasional change in the policies of the National Monetary Council (CMN) on the investment of funds in the National Housing System (SFH) may reduce the supply of financing to customers.

·   Drop in the market value of land held in inventory, before the development of a real estate venture to which it was intended, and the incapacity to maintain the margins that were previously projected for such developments.

 

 (iii)  Capital stock management

 

The objective of the Company’s capital stock management is to guarantee that a strong credit rating is maintained in institutions and an optimum capital ratio, in order to support the Company’s business and maximize value to shareholders.

 

The Company controls its capital structure by making adjustments and adapting to current economic conditions. In order to maintain its structure adjusted, the Company may pay dividends, return on capital to shareholders, raise new loans and issue debentures, among others.

 

There were no changes in objectives, policies or procedures during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

The Company included in its net debt structure: loans and financing, debentures, obligations assumed on assignment of receivables and payables to venture partners less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments):

 (iv)  Sensitivity analysis

 

The sensitivity analysis of financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, except swap contracts, which are analyzed through their due dates, describing the risks that may incur material losses on the Company’s profit or loss, as provided for by CVM, through Rule No. 475/08, in order to show a 25% and 50% increase/decrease in the risk variable considered.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has the following financial instruments:

 

a)   Short-term investments, loans and financing, and debentures linked to Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI);

b)   Loans and financing and debentures linked to the Referential Rate (TR) and CDI, and debentures indexed to the CDI, IPCA and TR;

c)   Accounts receivable, linked to the National Civil Construction Index (INCC).

 

For the sensitivity analysis in the year December 31, 2015, the Company considered the interest rates of investments, loans and accounts receivables, the CDI rate at 14.14%, the TR at 1.48%, the INCC rate at 7.22%, and the National Consumer Price Index – Extended (IPCA) at 10.67%. The scenarios considered were as follows:

 

Scenario I – Probable: 10% increase/decrease in the risk variables used for pricing

Scenario II – Possible: 25% increase/decrease in the risk variables used for pricing

Scenario III – Remote: 50% increase/decrease in the risk variables used for pricing

21.1.  Balances with related parties --Continued

 

(a)     The Company participates in the development of real estate ventures with other partners, directly or through related parties, based on the formation of condominiums and/or consortia. The management structure of these ventures and the cash management are centralized in the lead partner of the venture, which manages the construction schedule and budgets. Thus, the lead partner ensures that the investments of the necessary funds are made and allocated as planned. The sources and use of resources of the venture are reflected in these balances, observing the respective interest of each investor, which are not subject to indexation or financial charges and do not have a fixed maturity date. Such transactions aim at simplifying business relations that demand the joint management of amounts reciprocally owed by the involved parties and, consequently, the control over the change of amounts reciprocally granted which offset against each other at the time the current account is closed. The average term for the development and completion of the ventures in which the resources are invested is between 24 and 30 months. The Company receives a compensation for the management of these ventures..

(b)     Refers to transactions between the consortia leader, partners and condominiums.

(c)     Refers to operations in third-party’s works.

(d)     The loans of the Company with its subsidiaries, shown below, are made to provide subsidiaries with cash to carry out their respective activities, subject to the respective agreed-upon financial charges. The businesses and operations with related parties are carried out strictly at arm’s length, in order to protect the interests of the both parties involved in the business. The composition, nature and condition of loan receivable by the Company are shown below.

27.  Earning (loss) per share

 

In accordance with CPC 41, the Company presents basic and diluted loss per share. The comparison data of basic and diluted earnings/loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year, and all dilutive potential shares outstanding for each year presented, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the outstanding shares are increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares attributable to stock options and redeemable shares of noncontrolling interest had been issued during the respective periods, utilizing the weighted average stock price.

 

The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted profit and loss per share. In view of the loss for the year ended December 31, 2014, shares with dilutive potential are not considered, because the impact would be antidilutive.

28.  Segment information

 

The Company's management assesses segment information on the basis of different business segments rather than based on the geographical regions of operations.

 

The Company operates in the following segments: Gafisa (for ventures targeted at high and medium income) and Tenda (for ventures targeted at low income).

 

The Company's chief executive officer, who is responsible for allocating resources to businesses and monitoring their progresses, uses economic present value data, which is derived from a combination of historical and forecasted operating results.

 

The Company provides below the main accounts in the statement of profit or loss and balance sheet related to each reporting segment.

 

Segment information does not segregate operating expenses. No revenues from an individual client represented more than 10% of net sales and/or services.

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 millions in 2015, a reversal from the R$42.5 millions loss recorded in 2014. The Gafisa  segment ended the year with net income of R$44.1 millions, while the Tenda segment  recorded net income of R$30.3 millions 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 millions, and ended the year with R$996.3 millions in launches, achieving an average SoS of launches of approximately 28.3%. Net pre-sales reached R$245.2 millions in the fourth quarter, totaling R$914.8 millions 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 billions. This marked a 44.1% PSV growth rate compared to 2014. The transfer volume reached R$763.3 millions 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 millions, 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 millions in 4Q15 and ending the year with a R$44.1 millions 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 millions in the year, compared to a loss of R$109.4 millions in 2014.

In regards to the expansion of Tenda’s operating scale, the segment recorded launches of R$302.6 millions in the quarter, comprised of 9 new projects/phases. For the full year, Tenda segment launches totaled R$1.1 billions, 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 millions.

Since 2013, when Tenda started its new model operations, the segment has launched 51 projects, totaling R$2.0 billions in PSV. Notably, Tenda has delivered R$783.4 millions 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 millions, with an adjusted gross margin of 29.9%. In the year, the segment’s adjusted gross profit was R$260.2 millions, 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 millions 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 millions. In the year Tenda recorded net income of R$30.3 millions.

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 billions in 2015 and R$682.9 millions in 4Q15, with net pre-sales of R$482.6 millions and R$1.9 billions, respectively. The Company’s 4Q15 adjusted gross profit was R$189.3 millions, with an adjusted gross margin of 33.9%; in the year, adjusted gross profit was R$792.8 millions, 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 millions in the fourth quarter. In the year, these expenses totaled R$344.7 millions, 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 millions in the quarter and R$257.7 millions 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

Net income for the period was R$13.8 millions, compared to R$1.7 millions in the 3Q15 and R$36.8 millions 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 millions, compared to R$66.9 millions in 12M14. Excluding the R$26.7 millions in equity income from Alphaville, the Gafisa segment had a net loss in 4Q15 of R$12.9 millions, compared to a profit of R$16.1 millions recorded in 4Q14 and a R$0.5 millions profit in 3Q15. In 2015, the segment’s net loss was R$5.9 millions, compared to net income of R$34.6 millions 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 millions, 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 millions in the quarter, impacted by non-recurring effects of R$22.2 millions 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 millions in 3Q15 and a 4Q14 negative adjusted EBITDA of R$30.9 millions. 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 millions: (i) R$11.0 millions as an effect of the increase in the provision of the portfolio of receivables from projects prior to 2012; and (ii) R$11.2 millions as an adjustment in the accounting balance of receivables. As a result, net income for the quarter was negative R$13.0 millions, a decrease from positive R$11.8 millions recorded in 3Q15, but an improvement from the net loss of R$28.8 millions in 4Q14.

 

In 2015, net income was R$30.3 millions, compared to a net loss of R$109.4 millions 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 millions 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 millions - 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 millions common shares, expired and was closed.  Only 1 millions common shares were effectively acquired, with total disbursement of R$2.0 millions.

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 millions common shares which, when added to the 10.6 millions 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.

Operating Results

Launches and Pre-Sales

Fourth quarter 2015 launches totaled R$380.3 millions, 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 millions in launches, representing 47.8% of consolidated launches.

 

 

 

The Gafisa segment’s 4Q15 gross pre-sales totaled R$370.5 millions. Dissolutions reached R$125.3 millions and net pre-sales reached R$245.2 millions, stable when compared to 3Q15 and an increase of 38.3% compared to 4Q14. In 2015, net pre-sales reached R$914.8 millions, 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 millions in 4Q15, a decrease compared to R$147.2 millions in 3Q15 and an increase from the R$84.9 millions 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 billions in PSV, nearly a 50% increase from 2014 deliveries. In 2015, the volume of dissolutions was R$512.9 millions, 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 millions 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 millions, 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 billions. 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 millions, or 3.6% of total inventory.

During the same period, finished units represented R$418.0 millions, or 20.6% of total inventory. Inventory from projects launched outside core markets, which is comprised exclusively of finished units, represented
R$72.7 millions, a decrease of 49.2% when compared to the R$143.1 millions 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 billions, 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 millions, representing an acquisition cost of R$97.6 millions. 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 billions in PSV, compared to 23 projects/phases delivered in 2014, representing 3,806 units and R$1.6 billions 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 millions in PSV in the fourth quarter.

 

Of the year to date deliveries totaling R$2.4 billions, 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 millions, a decrease from R$108.8 millions in 3Q15, and R$101.1 millions 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 millions 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 millions, or 11.1% below the R$219.9 millions 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 millions 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 millions, 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 millions compared to R$124.8 millions 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 millions 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 millions, up by 36.1% compared to 2014, substantially represented by R$91.2 millions in provision for contingencies recognized in the 2015 and R$16.4 millions 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 millions in 4Q15, representing a decrease of 25.4% compared to R$66.8 millions in the prior quarter and a decrease of 39.1% compared to R$81.8 millions in 4Q14. Adjusted EBITDA for 2015 was R$227.4 millions, compared to R$296.7 millions 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 millions 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.

Notably, the Tenda segment’s sales performance in the quarter was impacted by a strike in the banking system at the end of 2015. In the full year 2015, the volume of dissolutions was R$192.0 millions and net pre-sales totaled R$1.0 billion, up 156.6% from R$396.0 millions of net sales recorded in 2014.

Dissolutions

The level of dissolutions in the Tenda segment totaled R$39.9 millions 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.

Financial Result

Revenues

Tenda’s 4Q15 net revenues totaled R$206.8 millions, an increase of 30.6% compared with 4Q14, reflecting an increased volume of net sales as a result of lower levels of dissolutions. As shown in the table below, revenues from new projects accounted for 93.8% of Tenda’s revenues in 4Q15, while revenues from legacy projects accounted for the remaining 6.2%.

Gross Profit & Margin

4Q15 gross profit totaled R$58.7 millions, up significantly from R$49.5 millions in 4Q14, and down from R$67.4 millions 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 millions, a 9.4% decrease compared to 3Q15, and an increase of 10.2% compared to R$35.4 millions of 4Q14. In the full year 2015, SG&A totaled R$149.3 millions, up 6.6% from 2014.

 

Selling expenses totaled R$18.3 millions 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 millions. 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 millions 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 millions, or R$78.5 millions excluding the aforementioned effect, lower than the R$87.1 millions 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 millions, an increase of 31.3 % compared to 3Q15, impacted by the non-recurring effect of R$11.0 millions 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 millions provision for contingencies recognized in the 2015 fiscal year and R$25.3 millions related to operating expenses of diverse nature, totaled R$52.6 millions, down 15.5 % compared to 2014.

 

Below, a breakdown of this expense is presented.

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 millions in 4Q15, a continuation of profitability from R$24.4 millions in 3Q15 and a reversal of the R$30.9 millions 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 millions. In 12M15, adjusted EBITDA was R$62.2 millions compared to a R$67.5 millions 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.

The Company’s operating cash generation reached R$165.6 millions in 4Q15. The Gafisa segment contributed cash generation of R$180.8 millions compared to R$58.5 millions reported in 3Q15.

The volume of transferred units sold to financing agents reached R$241.8 millions during the period, and R$763.3 millions in 2015. The Tenda segment used R$15.2 millions in cash, with R$208.8 millions transferred in 4Q15 and R$703.0 millions transferred in 2015.

Financial Result                                

 

Revenue

On a consolidated basis, net revenue in the 4Q15 totaled R$559.2 millions, 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 billions, 6.7% above the R$2.2 billions recorded in the previous year.

 

Gross Profit & Margin

Gross profit in 4Q15 was R$142.9 millions, compared to R$176.2 millions in 3Q15, and R$150.6 millions 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 millions, 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

In the year, net financial result was negative R$38.1 millions, compared to a net financial result of R$8.9 millions in the same period last year.

 

Taxes

Income taxes, social contribution and deferred taxes for 4Q15 amounted to an expense of R$3.9 millions, 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 millions.

 

Net Income

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