GAFISA SEGMENT

Focus on residential projects in the Middle, Medium-High and High income segments, with average unit sales price exceeding R$250,000.

 

Gafisa Launches

Fourth quarter launches totaled R$299.4 million and consisted of 2 projects/phases in São Paulo City and 1 Project in Santos City. The sales speed of these launches reached 67.3%, the highest launches sales level over the past years. In 2016, the Gafisa segment launches reached R$920.8 million or 40.7% of consolidated launches.

 

Gafisa Pre-Sales

Fourth quarter gross sales in the Gafisa segment totaled R$455.7 million. Dissolutions in 4Q16 were R$99.9 million, yielding total net pre-sales of R$355.8 million, up 37.7% q-o-q and 45.1% y-o-y. This performance was especially due to the good performance of projects launched in the last quarter of the year, which accounted for 56.7% of net pre-sales in the period.  Year-to-date, net pre-sales totaled R$810.5 million. Out of R$355.8 million in net pre-sales in the quarter, 56.7% referred to sales of launches in 2016, hence with lower work progress.

The Gafisa segment’s SoS for the last twelve months reached 31.5%, compared to 31.1% in the past 12-month period. In the 4Q16, SoS recorded its highest level since 4Q13, reaching 16.8% compared to 11.5% in the previous quarter and 10.9% in 4Q15.

Despite the still challenging political and economic environment, and its continued effects on the inventory products pricing, in 4Q16 the segment outperformed previous quarters results, due to good sales performance of launches in the fourth quarter. In addition to the strongest sales performance, with gross sales increasing 25.0% to R$455.7 million from 3Q16, the volume of dissolutions declined in 4Q16.

 Gafisa continues to prioritize sales of remaining units, which achieved 29.4% of net sales for the quarter, considering projects launched before 2016. Dissolutions, in turn, were concentrated in projects launched until 2014, with higher work evolution, and accordingly, higher contribution from revenue recognition and margin structure.

Out of the 929 Gafisa segment units cancelled and returned to inventory during the year, 57.7%, or 536 units were resold during the same period.

 

Gafisa Delivered Projects

In 4Q16, 3 projects/phases were delivered, accounting for 416 units and representing a total of R$292.7 million in PSV. In the year, 16 projects/phases were delivered, accounting for 3,747 units and representing a total of R$1.7 billion in PSV.

In keeping with its policy of dissolving contracts with ineligible clients in order to sell the units to new qualified customers, dissolutions increased by 130.2% in 4Q16 when compared to 4Q15 and increased by 14.8% compared to 3Q16, ending the period at R$91.8 million. As anticipated in the previous quarter, the higher volume of dissolutions is due to a review of the process of one-sided dissolutions executed by Tenda for non-transferred sales within a period exceeding three months, as we understand that the process previously applied was not effective and a number of units above expectations remained to be dissolved after a period considered appropriate by the Company. We estimate that the level of the Company’s dissolutions should remain at a higher level over the next quarters, before returning to the levels appropriate to Tenda’s New Business Model.

Out of the 1,921 Tenda units dissolved and returned to inventory in the year, 74.9% were resold to qualified customers during the same period.
