Delivered Projects

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company delivered 5 projects/phases accounting for 1,304 units and representing a total of R$197.5 million. All of these delivered projects came from the Tenda segment.

Delivery date is based on the date of the “Delivery Meeting” that takes place with customers, rather than physical completion, which occurs prior to the Delivery Meeting.

Over the nine-month period, the two segments, together, delivered 30 projects/phases accounting for 7,576 units, representing a total of R$1.9 billion.

 

Inventory (Properties for Sale)

In the third quarter of 2015, the market value of consolidated inventory remained stable at R$2.8 billion. In regards to 3Q15 sales, approximately 53% related to remaining units, comprised of R$176.2 million from the Gafisa segment and R$82.7 million from the Tenda segment.

The market value of Gafisa inventory, which represents 71% of total inventory, was R$2.0 billion at the end of 3Q15, representing a reduction of 3.1% compared to 2Q15. This reduction is a result of both sales achieved in 3Q15 as well as the updated pricing of some projects in inventory to better reflect the current market reality. Tenda’s inventory was valued at R$820.7 million at the end of 3Q15, compared to R$738.4 million at the end of 2Q15.

GAFISA SEGMENT

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

 

Gafisa Launches

Third quarter launches totaled R$ 288.2 million and consisted of 4 projects/phases in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The sales speed of these launches reached 19.2%. The Gafisa segment launch volumes in over 9M15 totaled R$616.0 million, representing 43.9% of consolidated launches.

 

Gafisa Pre-Sales

Third quarter gross pre-sales in the Gafisa segment totaled R$394.8 million. Dissolutions in 3Q15 were R$147.2 million, yielding a net pre-sale total of R$247.6 million, a QoQ increase of 2.2% and a YoY increase of 27.0%.

During 9M15, the volume of dissolutions was R$387.7 million and net pre-sales ended 9M15 at a total of R$669.6 million, an increase of 5.7% from 9M14. The Gafisa segment’s 9M15 sales over supply (SoS) reached 25.0% compared to the 20.2% over the same period last year.

In 3Q15, Gafisa’s SoS increased by 11.0% both q-o-q and y-o-y.  

Additionally, 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. Year to date, such unit conversions have accounted for approximately 36.2% of total dissolved PSV, resulting in the reversal of R$ 102.2 million into new sales in 9M15. This achievement further reflects the flexibility of Gafisa’s product portfolio.

The Company continues to concentrate its efforts on the sale of existing units. As a result, 44% of net sales during the period related to projects launched before 2013, allowing for a reduction in the average age of Gafisa segment inventory. In regards to 9M15, 49.5% of net sales were related to projects launched before 2013.

Out of the 749 Gafisa segment units cancelled and returned to inventory during 9M15, 65% were resold over the same period.

 

Gafisa Delivered Projects

During 3Q15, the Gafisa segment did not deliver any projects. Over the first 9 months of the year, 14 projects/phases were delivered, accounting for 3,345 units and representing a total of R$1.3 billion in PSV. These 9M15 figures compare to the 15 projects/phases and 2,394 units in the same period last year.

Tenda remains focused on the completion and delivery of legacy projects. In this regard, Tenda is dissolving contracts with ineligible clients in order to sell the units to qualified customers. Dissolutions decreased by 21.8% when compared to 2Q15 and by 71.3% when compared to 3Q14, ending the period at R$42.0 million.

 

As expected, the change in the sales process, which was undertaken in August 2014, resulted in a lower volume of dissolutions in the Tenda segment. The majority of current cancellations, namely 53%, related to legacy projects.
