PREVIEW OF OPERATIONAL RESULTS
2Q17
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - São Paulo, July 18, 2017 – Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), one of Brazil’s leading diversified homebuilders focused on the upper-middle and high income segments, today announced preliminary operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. The operating results are unaudited and remain subject to audit review.
"We achieved improved operating performance in the second quarter despite continued challenging political and economic dynamics. During the period, key operating metrics - namely gross sales, speed of sales and delivered PSV – all increased quarter-over-quarter, maintaining the momentum evident since the end of 2016. SoS was higher both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, while dissolutions decreased on the same basis, continuing the trend observed since the end of 2016. In addition, we made further headway on several of our strategic priorities, including reducing inventory levels and balancing the placement of new projects in the market, with new launches expected in the second half of 2017. By prioritizing projects with strong liquidity characteristics that reflect the current market environment, we remain committed to improving sales and profitability. While the industry and macroeconomic environment remain uncertain, we have a streamlined business model, solid operating platform and strong brand recognition. These competitive differentiatiors position us well to capture growth as market conditions improve,” said Sandro Gamba, Gafisa’s CEO.
