The second quarter of 2018 reaffirmed Gafisa’s positive financial and operational progress, further reinforcing our view that we reached a pivotal inflection point over the course of previous quarters.

We launched three successful projects in the quarter, two of them in the city of São Paulo/SP and one in the metropolitan region of Greater São Paulo. These projects’ PSV totaled R$400 million with an SoS of 52.5%. This result is a reflexion of the Management’s commitment to efficiently execute its launches, the effect of which can be clearly seen in recent results. The sales performance of these launched projects, coupled with inventory sales, positively impacted gross sales in the quarter, which totaled R$405.8 million, up 38.3% and 68.5% versus 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively.

Cancellations totaled R$59.9 million in 2Q18, a sharp drop of 47.3% year-over-year and 3.8% less quarter-over-quarter, marking a new low for cancellations, as reiterated by Management.

The sales mix and the positive trend in cancellations resulted in net presales of R$345.9 million, an increase of 46.7% and 172.1% versus 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively. In 1H18, net presales totaled R$581.7 million, 137.9% higher than in 1H17. The efficiency of digital tools to leverage our sales channels with our clients was also a highlight: in 1H18, nearly 30% of total sales derived from these online tools.

Regarding financial performance, net revenue grew in all bases of comparison, driven by higher inventory sales and the Upside Pinheiros project (launched in 1Q18) contributing R$68 million to revenues. Project sales with better margins bolstered adjusted gross profit in the first half of 2018, a four-fold increase against the same period last year. As a result, adjusted gross margin reached 31.7% in 1H18, confirming the impact of higher revenue recognition share from more recent projects, the effect of which we had already indicated.

The successful launch of new projects can be seen in the Backlog Results (REF), which reached a balance of R$262.8 million in 1H18, or a 63% increase against the same period last year. This performance resulted in gross margin of 37.5%, signaling a favorable outlook for revenue and margin over upcoming quarters, especially due to a higher share of revenue recognition from more recent projects in future results.

General and administrative expenses totaled R$39.5 million in 1H18, 16.1% lower than in 1H17. This downward trend affirms the Company’s ongoing diligence in finding opportunities to maximize the efficiency of its processes.

In 2Q18, selling expenses were 15.8% and 32.7% higher than in 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively, due to a set of initiatives necessary to ensure good launches in the period. It is worth mentioning that these increases came in lower than the rate of higher gross sales in the period.

The gradual recovery of Gafisa’s financial performance is also signaled by its adjusted EBITDA, which reached R$29.2 million in 2Q18, sustaining the upward trend seen in the first quarter of 2018, boosted by revenue recognition of projects with higher margins.

The improved cash position positively impacted 1H18’s net financial result of negative R$39.0 million, a reduction of 37.0% against the same period last year, also driven by lower indebtedness. 1H18 net financial loss totaled a negative R$85.3 million, a 62.8% evolution vs. 1H17.

Another highlight in 1H18 was the reduction of Gafisa’s net debt. In 1H18, net debt reached R$751.9 million, 32.4% lower than the R$1.1 billion recorded in 1H17. Therefore, the Company’s leverage, measured by net debt to shareholders' equity ratio, was 82.8% in the period, a sharp drop compared to the 126.1% recorded at the end of 2017, mainly due to capital increase and renegotiations in 1Q18, which both reduced debt and increased cash position in the period.

Finally, deliveries in the quarter positively impacted cash generation in the quarter, which totaled R$26.7 million. Cash generation was negative R$45.2 million in 1H18, reflecting the negative cash generation of the previous quarter.

Thus, the good launch performances, inventory deliveries with better margins, ongoing pursuit of increased operational and administrative efficiency and new levels in the areas of cancellations and net debt indicate that this positive trend should continue. Despite economic and political uncertainties that still impact our business environment and the country as a whole, we remain focused on sustaining our current trend of improved results over upcoming periods.

Launches

In 2Q18 Gafisa launched three projects with total PSV of R$399.9 million, all in Greater São Paulo. Added to the R$138.7 million in 1Q18, launches totaled R$538.6 million in 1H18. It is worth highlighting that the launch volume in 1H18 has already nearly reached the total volume of 2017 (R$539 million in 1H18 vs. R$554 million in 2017).

Sales over supply (SoS) of these projects stood at 19.9%, validating Gafisa’s efficient execution of launches and continued inventory sales.

Sales

In 2Q18, gross sales totaled R$405.9 million, 38.3% and 68.5% higher than in 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively, mainly driven by successful launches in the quarter, corresponding to 57.8% of volume sold. Gross sales reached R$699.3 million in 1H18, up 46.7% vs. 1H17.

Cancellations totaled R$59.9 million in 2Q18, a 3.8% drop from 1Q18, and a sharp drop of 47.3% compared to 2Q17, marking a new low for cancellations for the year. The first half of the year also reflects a clear year-over-year inflection point for cancellations, with a 49.3% reduction vs. 1H17.

The gross sales result and cancellations remaining close to the same level as the previous quarter contributed to a net presales increase of 46.7% and 172.1%, quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, respectively, to R$345.9 million in 2Q18. Such comparison is equally positive in the 1H18 year-over-year analysis: net presales totaled R$581.7 million in 1H18, up 137.9% vs 1H17.

Internet sales were especially strong in the period, having an important influence over clients who search for real estate properties online. These online tools contributed to around 30% of total sales in the first semester of the year, or R$229 million in sales in 1H18.

Sales Over Supply (SoS)


Positive launch performance boosted quarterly SoS, which increased from 14.4% in 1Q18 to 19.9% in 2Q18. SoS in 1H18 climbed from 37.5% in 1Q18 to 43.1% in 2Q18, atesting the efficiency of Gafisa’s continued and efficient business strategy.

 

 

Inventory (Property for Sale)

   Inventory at market value reached R$1,395.6 million in 2Q18, in line with the previous quarter. Year-over-year, inventory fell 5.5% as the company focused on sales and reduced the number of launches in the period. The project inventory located outside of strategic markets of R$55.1 million, accounts for 3.9% of the total inventory, of which 59.9% are finished units.

Gafisa continues to focus on gradually reducing inventories, seeking to maintain a balance between sales of more recent projects and of finished units. This strategy can be seen when we analyze Gafisa’s inventory turnover for the last 12 months ended in 2Q18, which evidences a reduction in the number of months for theoretical inventory liquidation.

Delivered Projects and Transfer

In 2Q18, 5 projects were delivered with total PSV of R$301.0 million. On June 30, 2018, Gafisa managed the construction of 21 projects, all of which are on schedule according to the Company’s business plan.

Over the past few years, the Company has been taking steps to improve the receivables/transfer process, aiming to maximize the return rates on capital employed. Currently, the Company’s directive is to conclude the transfer process of 90% of eligible units within 90 days after the delivery of the project.

Therefore, PSV transferred in 2Q18 jumped 138.2% to R$140.5 million quarter-over-quarter, driven by a higher volume of projects delivered, and was down 41.6% year-over-year, due to the higher volume of deliveries in 2Q17. In 1H18, PSV transferred totaled R$199.5 million, 41.8% lower than in 1H17, also due to a lower volume of deliveries in the period.

Landbank

The Company’s landbank, with an estimated PSV of R$3.7 billion, represents 32 potential projects/phases or nearly 8,000 units. Approximately 57.3% of land was acquired through swaps. In 2Q18, the Company acquired three new land areas in São Paulo, with potential PSV of R$326.2 million. The acquisition of these land areas was made with a combination of a physical swap of 39% and cash payment.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue

Net revenues increased to R$302.3 million in 2Q18, up 105.3% compared to 2Q17, mainly reflecting the revenue growth of projects launched from 2014 to 2016, which moved closer to completed construction, thereby increasing their share of revenue contribution, besides a higher volume of projects launched in 2017. The project launched in 1Q18, Upside Pinheiros, drove revenue increase in the quarter by R$68.2 million.

Gafisa’s adjusted gross profit totaled R$104.4 million in 2Q18, substantial growth compared to 1Q18 (+76.5%) and 2Q17 (+740.2%), boosted by sales of projects with better margins. Positive sales performance also drove adjusted gross profit growth in 1H18, which totaled R$163.5 million, 392.0% higher than in 1H17. It is worth mentioning the gradual inversion of the Company’s financial performance curve, signaled by higher net revenue versus 1Q18 (+41.6%), and 2Q17 (+105.3%) and in 1H18 (+81.7%).

Adjusted gross margin in 2Q18 was 34.5%, 680 bps higher than 1Q18 and 2,610 bps vs. 2Q17. In 1H18,  gross margin totaled 31.7%, 2,000 bps higher than in 1H17.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

General and administrative expenses totaled R$39.5 million in 1H18, 16.1% lower than in 1H17. This decrease reflects the Company’s diligence in its continued efforts to cut costs.

In 1H18, selling expenses totaled R$52.4 million, 30.2% higher than in 1H17.

At the same way, quarter-over-year, expenses came to R$28.1 million, 15.8% higher than in 1Q18. It is worth mentioning that these rates were lower than higher gross sales rates during the same periods, i.e., up 38.3% and 68.5% in 2Q18 and 1H18, respectively.

 Thus, selling, general and administrative expenses came to R$49.0 million in 2Q18, 13.9% and 19.6% higher than in 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively. In 1H18, expenses totaled R$91.9 million, 5.2% higher than in 1H17.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting Call Notice

On July 31. 2018, Gafisa received a correspondence from shareholder GWI Asset Management S.A. (GWI) requesting a call notice for an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (ESM) within eight days from that date to resolve on the removal of all members of the Board of Directors and the election of new members.

On August 2, the Company informed GWI that said Call Notice Request should be supplemented by additional material required by applicable law, including the names of candidates appointed or supported by GWI, so as to include them in the mandatory remote voting list. This information shall be released to the market until the date of publication of the first announcement of ESM call notice.

Both correspondences were filed at the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and released to the market on August 2 by means of a Material Fact, and on August 7, GWI replied to the Company.

The Board of Directors’ Meeting was called to be held on August 14th,2018, the agenda will be the call notice of Extraordinary General Meeting. Gafisa will keep the market informed on the development of this matter.

 

Rule Changes for Housing Loans

                The Brazilian National Monetary Council (CMN) approved several changes in housing loan rules, including, but not limiting, the increase of value of properties which can be acquired by means of the Housing Financial System (SFH) and the Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees (FGTS) to R$1.5 million. These changes will take effect in January 2019 for a six-year duration. 

The implementation of all these rules that unlock the business environment may benefit the real estate sector and contribute to a turnover effect on the market. However, it is worth mentioning that these rules will be gradually implemented and their effect will not be seen immediately. Despite the implementation schedule of these measures adopted by CMN, the ceiling increase, which will take place on the beginning of next year, may increase the liquidity of projects at this price level, as consumers will have access to additional housing financing instruments.
