MANAGEMENT COMMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS

 

The third quarter 2017 was characterized by the new project launches, after a semester where we prioritized the sales of units in inventory. The four projects launched in the quarter, which performed well, totaled R$464 million in PSV, reflecting the Company’s business planning and strategy, with a more precise launch profile to face the complexities of the macroeconomic scenario. Despite the gradual improvements in indicators such as inflation, employment and, particularly, interest rates, the still uncertain pace of the Brazilian economic recovery reinforces the cautious stance Gafisa is taking in real estate market.

Another relevant achievement was the ongoing positive operating results, a direct consequence of the improvements on Gafisa’s business model. The evolution of the model can be seen in the “Sales over Supply” (SoS) indicator, which grew for the fourth consecutive quarter and reached 37.6% in the 12 months up to the end of the 3Q17. In the quarter, the SoS was 18.3%, a considerable improvement over the 7.9% in the 2Q17, reflecting not only good performance of launches but also of sales of inventory in the period. The 3Q17 had the best quarterly performance in SoS of the last five years.

Our constant initiatives to increase the quality of credit analysis, combined with the improvements in the economy, reinforced the downward trend of dissolutions, which came to R$84.4 million in 3Q17, down 25.7% over the 2Q17 and down 20.5% over 3Q16, the lowest level since 2014.

As a result of the factors mentioned above, net pre-sales came to R$354.0 million in 3Q17, a substantial growth over R$127.1 million recorded in 2Q17 and R$258.3 million recorded in 3Q16. Launches sales came to 63.5% of total net sales in the quarter.

It is important to mention that Gafisa, in line with our decision-making process for new projects, will not have the same volume of launches in the fourth quarter. Therefore, we will concentrate our efforts on sales of inventories, thus, resulting in slower sales velocity.

Net revenue came to R$160.3 million in 3Q17, up 8.9% q-o-q, but still 40.2% lower than 3Q16. Dissolutions, which were at a lower level during the quarter, are concentrated in units of the older legacy projects,

negatively impacting the Company’s revenues. There is also a concentration of net sales on projects that are more recent and with slower work evolution, which impedes a faster recovery of revenues. In the accumulated during the first nine months of 2017, net revenues totaled R$444.1 million.

Deferred income totaled R$220.2 million, up 36.5% over the previous quarter and 53.6% over the previous year, a result of good operating performance and correct placement of projects, contributing to the build-up of revenues over the next quarters.

The initiatives to increase efficiency and productivity of our operations succeeded for another quarter. General and administrative expenses which totaled R$21.4 million in 3Q17, remained in line sequentially but went down 22.2% the same quarter of last year. Selling expenses increased 8.2% over the previous quarter, reflecting the launches in the period, but decreased 7.2% in comparison to the 3Q16.

Thus, this quarter Gafisa recorded a net loss of R$100.5 million, versus a net loss of R$134.6 million in 2Q17 and R$80.0 million in 3Q16, excluding Alphaville equity income and effects of the Tenda transaction.

Gafisa continues with a conservative cash management strategy. Operating cash generation came to R$93.0 million in 3Q17, down 8.4% from the 2Q17 due to a reduced number of deliveries in the quarter and, consequently, a 9.7% drop in transfers. Net cash generation totaled R$49.1 million, more than double the R$20.5 million registered in 2Q17. In the first nine months of 2017, and excluding the inflow of funds from Tenda transaction, the operating cash flows came to R$290.0 million, with a net cash generation of R102.8 million.

Gafisa’s net debt came to R$1.1 billion at the end of 3Q17, down 18% from the previous quarter and down 26% from last year. The balance of leverage, measured by the net debt to shareholders’ equity ratio, reached 87.1% in 3Q17 and remains one of the Company’s management main areas of focus. Excluding projects’ financing, the net debt to shareholders’ equity ratio stood at 12.7%. It is important to highlight the negotiations to increase debt maturity, which reflects in the lower proportion of short-term debt, from 62.4% of total debt in the 2Q17 to 48.7% in 3Q17. Gafisa will additionally receive R$100.0 million relating to the Tenda transaction in the next periods, as contractually agreed.

Despite the short-term uncertainties, the evolution of the financial results during the third quarter, albeit mild, points to a slow and gradual inflection of our results. As we have mentioned previously, results are still impacted by the lower relevance of more recent projects. Over the future, we should start to recognize the positive impacts of these more recent projects, that command margins that are more adequate.

We are confident that the strategic actions adopted by Gafisa, focused on reducing inventories, a rigorous process to define project launches and higher operating efficiency, position us favorably for the recovery of the real estate markets over the coming years.

Net Pre-Sales

In 3Q17, gross sales totaled R$438.4 million, growing both in relation to 2Q17 (+82.1%) and to 3Q16 (+20.3%), reflecting the good sales performance of the launches combined with the continuation of sales of remaining units at the same level as in 2Q17. Dissolutions decreased and totaled R$84.4 million, 25.7% and 20.5% lower than in 2Q17 and in 3Q16, respectively. As a result, net sales reached R$354.0 million in 3Q17, compared to R$127.1 million in 2Q17 and R$258.3 million in 3Q16. In the year to date, net sales reached R$598.6 million, 31.6% higher than in the same period of 2016.  

The project launches accounted for 63.5% of total net sales in 3Q17. Regarding the sale of units in inventory, 78.9% refer to sales of projects launched until the end of 2015, improving the profile of our inventory. Dissolutions were higher in projects launched until 2014, where work has progressed further, with consequent impact on revenue recognition and margin composition.

Sales over Supply (SoS)


Good business performance in the quarter drove sales speeds. Quarterly SoS increased to 18.3%, the best quarterly performance since 2012, and SoS accumulated in twelve months reached 37.6%, the highest level since 2013. These results reinforce that we were correct on our launch strategy and on the balance of selling the inventory of remaining units.  

 

Dissolutions


Dissolutions totaled R$84.4 million in 3Q17, the lowest level since 2014 and a significant reduction both in relation to the R$113.6 million in 2Q17 and to the R$106.1 million in 3Q16. The accumulated volume of dissolutions in 2017 reached R$316.3 million, a reduction of 22.7% compared to 9M16.

The reduction of the dissolutions is due to the successful initiatives to increase the quality of the credit analysis adopted over the last three years by Gafisa, as well as the slight improvement in the macroeconomic scenario after a strong recession.

Inventory (Property for Sale)

                The inventory at market value reached R$1,581.4 million at the end of 3Q17, 7.1% higher than in 2Q17, due to the launches made in the period, although these have achieved good sales speed.

In a quarter characterized by new launches and the delivery of a project, the Company was able to maintain a commercial balance between launches and complete units. The inventory of finished units fell from R$565.4 million (38.3% of total inventory) in 2Q17 to R$507.2 million in 3Q17 (32.1% of total).

The inventory of projects outside the strategic markets, of R$ 77.2 million, represents 4.9% of the total inventory, of which 52% are completed units. The increase of R$31.1 million compared to 2Q17 is explained by the launch of another phase of the Ecoville Park in Curitiba, as previously planned.

Of the total inventory completed, 60.0% are commercial projects. This proportion is due both to the high volume of deliveries over the last few years and to the lower sales speeds in this segment, where liquidity is still relatively lower.

Delivered Projects

The Company delivered 286 units in 3Q17, all in project Go Maraville, located in Jundiaí, São Paulo state, with PSV of R$75.2 million. In the 9M17, deliveries totaled 1,890 units and R$820.2 million. Currently, Gafisa has 18 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 in a 90-day period after the delivery of the project. In accordance with this policy, transfers in 3Q17 totaled R$125.6 million, explained by the lower number of deliveries. In the 9M17, transfers reached R$366.4 million, 3.3% lower than the same period in 2016.

Revenue

3Q17 net revenues totaled R$160.3 million, up 8.9% from 2Q17, and down 40.2% from 3Q16. In the year to date, net revenues reached R$444.1 million. Revenue recognition is affected by the mix of net sales in the period, with sales concentrated in the most recent launches and, consequently, lower revenue recognition. Dissolutions were down in the quarter but continued to have a material impact on the Company’s revenue.

Gross Profit & Margin

Adjusted gross income in the 3Q17 was R$18.7 million, up 50.4% from 2Q17, but down 60.4% from 3Q16. In 9M17, the adjusted gross income was R$51.9 million, down 65.0% from the 9M16. Even with a low level of dissolutions in the 3Q17, the impact of the sales mix in the revenue prevented a quicker margin recovery. Even so, the gross margin of -4.8% showed an evolution to the -9.8% of the previous quarter. Excluding the financial effects, the adjusted gross margin was 11.7% in the 3Q17, which compares to 8.4% in the 2Q17 and to 17.6% in the 3Q16.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

In the 3Q17, the selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totaled R$44.4 million, 8.4% up from 2Q17 and 15.1% down from 3Q16. In the year to date, the SG&A totaled R$131.7 million, 3.0% down from the same period in 2016.

The sales expenses totaled R$22.9 million, with a growth of 8.2% from the 2Q17 as a result of the launches in the period, which resulted in higher sales volume. In comparison to 3Q16, there was a 7.2% reduction.

The efforts improve operational efficiency continue to show positive results. The general and administrative expenses totaled R$21.4 million, 9% higher in comparison to last quarter, but with 22.2% reduction in comparison to 3Q16. Year to date, the reduction was 7.5%.

We keep pursuing a balanced operational structure. The recent structural redesign allowed us to reduce costs and expenses and, with more efficiency and agility, put us in a competitive position for the new development cycle of the Brazilian real estate market.

Financial Results

In the 3Q17, financial results were 28.3% smaller when compared to the 2Q17, and 11.7% smaller than the 3Q16, reflecting the reduction of the basic interest rate and the lower cash balance in the period. Financial expenses reached R$27.7 million, compared to the R$42.6 million of the 2Q17 and the R$13.4 million of the 3Q16.

Therefore, the net financial result was negative R$21.1 million in the 3Q17, compared to the negative net financial results of R$33.4 million in the 2Q17, and R$5.9 million in the 3Q16. The accumulated net financial result was R$83.0 negative in the 9M17.

 

Taxes

In the 3Q17, the income tax and social contribution line were positive at R$0.6 million. In the 9M17, income tax and social contribution expenses totaled R$1.7 million.

Net Income

As results of the previously discussed effects, the net income of the 3Q17, excluding the results of the Alphaville’s equity income, was negative in R$100.5 million, which compares with the net loss of R$134.6 million in the 2Q17 and of R$80.0 million in the 3Q16.

Backlog of Revenues and Results

The backlog of results to be recognized under the PoC method totaled R$220.2 million in the 3Q17. The consolidated margin was 34.9% this quarter, compared to 35.8% in the 2Q17. The growth of the backlog in this quarter reflects the resumption of the launches in the period, combined with the good sales performance of projects launched in 2014 and 2015, signaling a positive outlook for revenues and gross profit in the next periods.

Cash Generation

The operational cash generation totaled R$93.0 million in the 3Q17, lower than the R$101.5 million generated in the 2Q17, due mainly to the lower number of delivered projects and consequent reduction in transfers, and the concentration of launches in the second half of the quarter, which dilutes cash inflows between 3Q17 and 4Q17. The good operating cash performance resulted in net cash generation of R$49.1 million in the 3Q17. Year to date, excluding inflows from the Tenda transaction, operational cash flow totaled R$290.0 million, with net cash generation reaching R$102.8 million.

Liquidity

At the end of the 3Q17, the Company’s Net Debt/Shareholders’ Equity ratio was 87.1%, compared to 80.7% in the previous quarter, as a reflection of accumulation of losses from the previous periods faster than the reduction of debt. Excluding project finance, the Net Debt/Shareholders’ Equity ratio was 12.7%.

In the 3Q17, the gross debt reached R$1.2 billion, down 8% q-o-q, and 41.0% y-o-y. The net debt amounted to R$1.1 billion, 4% smaller than the 2Q17. It is importante to mention that the Company will receive, over the few quarters, R$100.0 million from the Tenda transaction, as contractually established.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On November 09,2017, the Board of Directors approved to call an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (the “Meeting”) to be held on December 11, 2017, to resolve on the Company’s capital increase up to the total amount of three hundred million Reais (R$300,000,000.00), with the possibility of partial ratification in the case of subscription of at least, two hundred million and ten Reais (R$200,000,010.00), by means of the issue for private subscription of at least 13,333,334  and at most 20,000,000  non-par, registered, book-entry new common shares of the Company, at a price per share of R$ 15.00, based on Article 170, Paragraph 1, item III of Law No. 6.404/76 (“Capital Increase”).

Investors’ subscription commitment is subject to (i) the postponement of the Company’s debts maturity in the amount of, at least, three hundred million Reais R$300,000,000.00, until 2020 and 2021, and (ii) the lack of adverse material effects.

More details on the Capital Increase are available on the call notice and management proposals published today on the Company’s investor relations website (www.gafisa.com.br/ri/) and on the websites of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão (www.b3.com.br) and of the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ( www.cvm.gov.br).
