Gafisa Group Reports Results for 1Q13

SÃO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), Brazil's leading diversified national homebuilder, has reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First quarter financial results can be found on the Company's website (www.gafisa.com.br/ir) and with the Brazilian Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios (CVM).

  • Launches totaled R$308 million in 1Q13, a 34% year-over-year decrease, and were broadly in keeping with the proportion of full-year launches historically occurring in the first quarter

  • The Tenda brand was relaunched under its new business model and accounted for 37% of launches

  • Pre-sales totaled R$218 million and gross sales reached R$700 million in 1Q13

  • Inventory at market value declined R$119 million to R$3.5 billion on a sequential basis

  • Gafisa Group delivered 9 projects/phases encompassing 1,300 units during the first quarter, a 79% decrease compared to 1Q12

  • Revenue, recognized by the "PoC" method, decreased 20% year-over-year to R$669 million in 1Q13

  • Adjusted EBITDA was R$68 million in 1Q13, compared to R$100 million in 1Q12

  • Operational cash flow was positive at R$122 million in 1Q13, resulting in cash burn of R$89 million


Duilio Calciolari, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Market conditions were stable in the first quarter and results are in keeping with seasonally lower activity. The high volume of deliveries in the second half of 2012 resulted in increased first quarter sales cancellations, however we are making steady progress on the resale of these units to qualified customers. Inventory sales represented 65% of total sales as we continue to focus on inventory reduction initiatives. Cash generation was impacted by lower launch volumes and expenditures linked to land bank acquisition."

"Our focus in 2013 is on profitable growth in order to capture the full potential of the Gafisa Group's new operating structure. Accordingly, the relaunch of the Tenda brand under a new business model is proceeding in line with plan. Two projects were launched in São Paulo and Salvador in the first quarter, with sales contingent upon the transfer of mortgages to financial institutions. The brand's relaunch forms part of the Company's reinvestment strategy that will expand medium and long-term profitability. Results continue to be impacted by the resolution of Gafisa segment legacy projects launched in non-core markets and the majority of the remaining Tenda projects."
