GAFISA RELEASES 4Q14 AND 2014 RESULTS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE São Paulo, February 27, 2015

Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), one of Brazil’s leading homebuilders, today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Despite a challenging environment, the Company remained focused on maintaining operating performance, increasing profitability, and generating shareholder value in 2014.

Last year, we made further headway in managing our working capital. By streamlining the production cycle, we were able to shorten overall construction time and strengthen the financial management of that construction. We also increased both the quality and speed of the transfer process and completed almost all legacy projects from the Tenda segment, thereby improving the management of our capital employed. This allowed us to begin 2015 in a strong position and keep pace with the business cycle, despite current economic uncertainty in Brazil.

In this context, we would like to note the sound performance of Gafisa and Tenda’s projects during the year and their contribution to the Company’s consolidated results. The adjusted gross margin reached 33.2% in 2014, around 2 percentage points higher than a year ago. The Gafisa segment maintained consistent results with an adjusted gross margin of 35.4% in the year. The Tenda segment benefited from the consolidation of its New Business Model and consequent larger contribution of new projects to results. It ended the year with an adjusted gross margin of 26.9%, which is broadly in line with guidance of 28-30%, and significantly higher than 2013.

Last year was impacted by several one-off events, including the World Cup at the end of 1H14, uncertainty and turbulence around the presidential elections at the end of the year, and continuing economic stagnation in Brazil. These factors resulted in challenging conditions in various sectors, including the real estate market, creating a slowdown in demand; especially in the medium- and high-income brackets. Consequently, the Gafisa segment is being very selective in the development and launch of products in order to prioritize stable levels of profitability. The segment is also maintaining a conservative stance towards new investments.

Full year Gafisa segment launches totaled R$1.0 billion, which is slightly below guidance of R$1.1 R$1.2 billion. Given the uncertainty in the economic environment and a lower level of consumer confidence, the Gafisa segment chose to postpone the launch of some of its planned projects in the hopes of better market conditions in 2015. This strategy is also expected to result in higher levels of profitability, consistent with the Company's expectations. It is also aligned with increased market risk and conservatism regarding the use of available cash.

For the Gafisa segment, the past year was another important step in the consolidation of its production cycle. From an operational point of view, we ended the year with strong delivery volumes, including 23 projects/phases, corresponding to 3,806 units, and transfers of R$1.6 billion. The result reflects the increasing level of control and efficiency in the segment’s operations. Currently, Gafisa has 41 own projects under management which are all within contractual deadlines, confirming our commitment to clients.

Gafisa segment ended the year with turnover in the portfolio of approximately R$2.3 billion, of which R$143.1 million is related to projects outside the Rio-São Paulo area, a 47.5% decrease y-o-y. It is worth noting the more long-term and balanced profile of the Gafisa segment’s inventory, with a high composition of total inventory (63.2%) scheduled for delivery from 2016 onwards. These factors combined enable greater flexibility in the sale of these units.

Looking ahead to 2015, given the likely continuation of the current economic scenario, we expect

2


 

to maintain a more conservative approach, particularly with regards to the placement of new products in the market. Priority will be given to those projects with higher liquidity, in order to achieve a good level of sales and profitability. Efforts made in the last two years, including the restoration of our landbank and the achievement of a higher level of operational efficiency and balance, gives us comfort over the development of the business plan for the year.

Turning to the Tenda segment, last year was a defining point in the turnaround process. Having focused on the delivery of the remaining units of legacy projects, we ended the year with only three such construction sites, equivalent to 2,593 thousand units in construction, which we expect to be completed by the end of the first half of 2015. This compares with nearly 31 thousand outstanding units in early 2012. Another key advance for the Tenda segment in 2014 was the performance and high volume of deliveries on New Model projects. Last year 9 projects / phases totaling 1,700 units and R$ 213.8 million in PSV were delivered. All were launched in 2013 under the New Model. It is noteworthy that in these first successful deliveries and other new projects under construction, Tenda achieved the profitability drivers established for the operation of the New Model projects: adjusted gross margin was consistent and above the floor of 28%; average monthly VSO was between 5-7%; and following the change to the accounting criteria for sales in October, the level of cancellations is expected to be around 15% of total gross sales.

In 2014, the Tenda segment launched 14 projects, totaling R$613.3 million in PSV, in line with launch guidance for the year. Tenda continues to believe in the resilience of its market in the face of a more uncertain economic scenario. Demand in the low income housing segment remains strong thanks to low unemployment and continued access to credit.

For the coming year, Tenda continues to seek increased scale through growth in launches and the implementation of strategies to ensure the achievement of solid sales velocity. Tenda will also actively seek out new businesses, taking advantage of the opportunities created by the general market environment. Consistent results on the New Model projects reinforce our confidence in the business plan for 2015.

Consolidated Gafisa and Tenda launch volumes reached R$241.5 million in the quarter and R$1.6 billion in the year. Net pre-sales were R$303.9 million and R$1.2 billion in the year. Adjusted gross profit was R$190.1 million, with a margin of 30.2% in the quarter. On a full year basis, adjusted gross profit totaled R$713.3 million, with a margin of 33.2%, above the prior year.

We are consistently seeking greater efficiency and productivity in the business cycle in both segments. In 2014, this led to a 19.9% year-over-year drop in the level of selling, general and administrative expenses, due to the reforms implemented over the past two years.

Consolidated net income was R$8.0 million in the fourth quarter, comprising Gafisa’s net income of R$36.8 million, and a loss at Tenda of R$28.8 million. For the full year 2014, net income was negative R$42.5 million, as Gafisa reported net income of R$66.9 million and Tenda reported a loss of R$109.4 million.

Again, we highlight the Company's cash generation throughout the year. We ended 4Q14 with operating cash flow of R$ 103.1 million, reaching R$ 298.6 million in the year, reflecting: (i) the sound performance of the transfer process, with approximately R$ 1.7 billion transferred to financial institutions in the year; and (ii) the greater assertiveness and control of our business cycle. Free cash flow was positive again, reaching R$38.3 million and totaling R$81.0 million in the year. Total cash generation excludes certain non-recurring effects such as share repurchases and expenses related to the Alphaville transaction, which impacted the full year of 2014.

At the end of 2014, the net debt/equity ratio was slightly higher than the previous quarter, reaching 47.1%. Excluding project financing, net debt/equity totaled a negative ratio of 19.0%.

The spinoff process is ongoing. The brands are currently operating independently, with their own structures that reflect the specifics of their business models. We continue to work with partners and bankers in order to advance the separation of financial products that have already been

structured, as well as to open specific credit lines for each company.

Finally, we would like to note the initiatives taken in 2014 to remunerate our shareholders. During the year, the Company distributed to its shareholders, in the form of interest on capital and dividends, approximately R$163.1 million, or R$0.40 per share, representing a cash yield of 17.9% compared to the year-end stock price. In addition, since the beginning of 2013, and in-line with the policy of maximizing shareholder value through the various buyback programs open throughout the period, we disbursed approximately R$208.7 million in the acquisition of nearly 73.2 million shares, of which 57.5 million have been canceled. In early February, a new share repurchase program comprising 27 million shares was opened. It should be noted that despite the volume repurchased, the Company reaffirms its commitment to capital discipline, limiting the implementation of the new program to a net debt/equity ratio of 60%.

Over the last year, Gafisa and Tenda both strengthened their operational and financial cycles, positioning them for challenges in the market environment in 2015. The Gafisa segment, with consistent performance and streamlined operations, is focused on improving its level of capital employed. The Tenda segment is ready to increase the volume of new projects, backed by strong results obtained in the projects launched under the New Model. The Company continues to advance guided by the objectives of profitability and value creation, capital discipline, and its intention to maintain and improve results over the coming year.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

Gafisa Segment

Revenue Growth, Alphaville Results and Reduction in Administrative Expenses


The results of the last quarter of the year were highlighted by the combination of revenue growth, as the Company started to recognize results from projects launched in 2014, and the increase in Alphaville’s contribution, which reached R$20.7 million in 4Q14, the best quarter of the year. Another quarterly highlight was the 9.6% reduction in administrative expenses compared to the previous quarter; or a 37.3% decline year on year. These achievements are a reflection of Gafisa's commitment to greater operational efficiency, contributing to reasonable costs and expenses given its business cycle.

The adjusted gross margin closed the quarter at 30.7%, below the previous quarters average, due to non-recurring items, primarily related to impairment adjustments and to the change in the methodology used to calculate the provision on construction warranty. Excluding such effects, adjusted gross margin reached 37.1%. The early recognition of revenue from projects with increased exchange participation also impacted the gross margin in the period.

Net Income


 

Net income for the period was R$36.8 million, compared to R$15.3 million in 3Q14, and R$83.9 million in the year ago period, excluding the effect of the sale of Alphaville. Excluding the R$20.7 million in equity income from Alphaville, the Gafisa segment’s net income in the 4Q14 was R$16.1 million, 85.1% higher than in 3Q14, reflecting the revenue growth and higher financial income in the period. In the 12M14, net income totaled R$34.6 million, compared to loss of R$6.1 million in the prior year.

Gafisa Segment (R$ million)  4Q14  3Q14  4Q13  12M14  12M13 
Adjusted Gross Profit  150.8  141.5  205.7  560.3  651.9 
Adjusted Gross Margin  30.7%  38.7%  42.0%  35.4%  39.2% 
Net Profit  36.8  15.3  908.8  66.9  985.8 
Equity Income from Alphaville1  20.7  6.6  864.1  32.3  991.9 
Net Profit Ex-Alphaville  16.1  8.7  44.7  34.6  (6.1) 
1 For 4Q13 and 2013, the result of the sale of Alphaville is also excluded.           

 

Tenda Segment

Reduction in the Level of Dissolutions, which Positively Impacted Revenue


The fourth quarter was marked by the concentration of launch volumes in Tenda and higher launch volumes in the quarter, as well as revenue growth due to a reduction in the level of dissolutions in the period.

At the end of August the Company implemented a new sales accounting policy in which the sale is booked only after the first payment by the customer. This contributed to a lower level of dissolutions in 4Q14, positively impacting revenue volumes in the period. The consolidation of this change over the next few months is expected to help Tenda maintain this downward trend in dissolution levels on new pre-sales.

A streamlined cost structure, which better reflects the segment’s new business cycle, also contributed to the segment’s fourth quarter results. Selling, general and administrative expenses once again decreased sharply y-o-y. Selling expenses were impacted by lower gross sales in the period, while general and administrative expenses recorded annual savings of 19.6%, due to reduced operational complexity in the Tenda segment, with the reduction in the number of legacy projects.

Net Income


The fourth quarter net loss was R$28.8 million, slightly higher than the net loss of R$25.2 million in 3Q14, and well above the R$2.7 million loss in 4Q13, due to the higher level of expenses related to contingencies and also the lowest level of revenues in the year. In the 12M14, Tenda’s net loss reduced by 7.5% year-over-year, closing the period at R$109.4 million.

Tenda Segment (R$ million)  4Q14  3Q14  4Q13  12M14  12M13 
Adjusted Gross Profit  45.3  38.5  61.2  153.1  122.7 
Adjusted Gross Margin  28.6%  29.8%  28.5%  26.9%  15.0% 
Net Profit1  (28.8)  (25.2)  12.5  (109.4)  (118.4) 
Alphaville Equity Income1  -  -  15.1  -  15.1 
Net Profit Ex-Alphaville  (28.8)  (25.2)  (2.7)  (109.4)  (133.5) 
1 For 4Q13 and 2013, the result of the sale of Alphaville is also excluded.           

 

RECENT EVENTS

Shareholder Remuneration Interest on Own Capital and Dividends/Repurchase Program


At the end of 2013, with the completion of the sale of its stake in Alphaville and the entry of related funds, one of Management’s main tasks, in addition to reduce the indebtness level, was to maximize shareholder value.

Since the end of 2013, the Company - through the various stock repurchase programs open throughout this period - effectively acquired 63.2 million shares in the market. When added to the 10 million shares that had already been acquired in early 2013, a total disbursement of R$208.7 million was made through the stock buyback in the last 24 months.

Throughout 2014, following the acquisition of all shares included in the repurchase programs, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of 27.5 million shares held in treasury at the end of the quarter.

Last February 2, reaffirming its commitment to generate shareholder value, the Company approved a new cancellation of over 30 million common shares held in treasury, totaling 57.5 million shares canceled over the last two quarters, approximately 15.2% of the number of the Company’s outstanding shares.

On the same date, a third repurchase program was created at the limit of 27 million common shares which, when added up to the 10.8 million shares currently held in treasury by the Company, corresponds to 10% of total common shares issued by the Company.

In addition to the share repurchase program on February 12, 2014, the Company paid interest on its own capital to its shareholders in the amount of R$130.2 million, representing approximately R$0.32 per share, and on December 11, 2014, the supplementary dividend payment was held, totaling R$32.9 million, representing R$0.08 per share, excluding shares held in treasury.

Therefore, in the fiscal year of 2014 the Company paid a total of R$163.1 million to shareholders, or R$0.40 per share, for the fiscal year ending in 2013. This represented a cash yield of 17.9% compared to the 2014 closing price.

It is worth mentioning that despite the large volume of repurchased shares, the Company reaffirms its commitment to capital discipline, limiting the execution of such program to up to 60% of its leverage (Net Debt/Equity ratio).

Update on the Separation Process

Administrative Split and Next Steps


The Company continued to evaluate the potential separation of the Gafisa and Tenda business units during the fourth quarter.

As previously reported, a separation would be the next step in a comprehensive plan initiated by management to enhance value creation for both business units and their shareholders.

Since the beginning of the year, the Company has been moving towards the effective separation of Gafisa and Tenda’s administrative structures, so that they can operate independently.

During 2014, several actions were taken in this regard such as: actual separation of several departments such as Services, Personnel and Management Center, and Legal among others; the amendment of the registration of Tenda’s category as an issuer with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission

(CVM), to Category A; operations with banks and insurance companies for the opening of an independent credit limit for Tenda; and mapping contracts and evaluation of the potential impact due to the spin-off.

At the same time, the Company continues to evaluate separation alternatives for the two companies. Among the initiatives and studies being undertaken, we highlight:

(1) Evaluation of possible corporate structures;

(2) Evolution of credit facility processes at Tenda;

(3) Evaluation of the future structure of Tenda’s corporate governance;

(4) Evaluation with BM&FBovespa of the necessary procedures for Tenda’s trading, and evaluation of potential Level 1 ADR listing;

(5) Continuation of studies related to the most appropriate capital structure for the business cycle of each company.

As stated when the Company announced the initial studies, the potential separation, if approved, is expected to be implemented in 2015. The Company will keep its shareholders and the market informed about the progress and developments related to this potential spin-off.

GAFISA SEGMENT

Focuses on residential developments within the upper, upper-middle, and middle-income segments, with average unit prices of R$500,000.00.

 

Operating Results

Launches and Pre-Sales


The Gafisa segment did not launch new projects in the fourth quarter. Despite having approved and available projects for launch, the Company determined - as evidenced by the revision to annual guidance - that market conditions were not accomodative of further launches. Thus, some launches were postponed to 2015 in expectation of a more positive market scenario.

Therefore, in 12M14, the Gafisa segment reached R$1.0 billion in launches, slightly below the range established in the launch guidance for the year of R$1.1 R$1.2 billion. This result includes the effect of the cancellation of a project launched in 1Q14.

 


The Gafisa segment’s gross pre-sales totaled R$262.2 million in 4Q14 and R$1.2 billion in the 12M14. Dissolutions reached R$84.9 million and net pre-sales reached R$177.3 million in the quarter. In the 12M14, net sales totaled R$811.0 million and the volume of dissolutions was R$436.0 million.

Units launched during the year represented 32.6% of total sales in the quarter, amounting to R$57.8 million. In 2014, sales from units launched represented 42.2% of PSV sold in the period. The Gafisa segment accounted for 62.5% of consolidated launches for the year.

Sales over Supply (SoS)


The sales velocity was 7.2% in 4Q14, in line with 7.2% in 3Q14, but below 17.8% in the previous year. On a last 12 months basis, Gafisa’s SoS reached 26.1%.


Dissolutions


2014 was marked by uncertainties related to the Brazilian economic scenario, directly impacting consumer confidence and the level of dissolutions of the period. In the Gafisa segment, despite the unfavorable economic scenario, the level of dissolutions declined slightly from the previous year, reaching R$436.0 million. In 4Q14, dissolutions reached R$84.9 million versus R$150.7 million in 3Q14.

During the last three years, the Company has been working on initiatives to achieve a higher quality of the credit analysis in its sales. In doing so, the Company hopes to reduce the level of dissolutions throughout the construction and delivery cycle. Assertiveness in the credit review process at the time of the sale has generated greater efficiency in the process of transferring Gafisa customers to financial institutions, despite deteriorating macroeconomic conditions throughout the year.

 

In 4Q14, approximately 167 Gafisa units were cancelled. 177 units derived from dissolutions and returned to inventory were resold in the period. Over the year, 852 units have been cancelled, of which 581 have already been resold.

Inventory


In 2014, Gafisa maintained its focus on inventory reduction initiatives. Projects launched prior to 2014 represented about 57.8% of net sales in the period. The market value of Gafisa segment inventory reached R$2.3 billion in the 4Q14, as compared to R$2.5 billion in the previous quarter. Finished units outside of core markets accounted for R$143.1 million, or 6.2% of total inventory.

amount, inventory from projects launched outside core markets represented R$116.3 million, down 21.6% q-o-q from R$148.3 million in 3Q14 and down 40.9% y-o-y from R$272.4 million in 2013. The Company has seen more consistent sales velocity in these markets over the past few quarters, and believes that between the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016 it will have monetized a large portion of its inventory in non-core markets.

It is worth noting that the largest share of the Gafisa inventory, approximately 63.2% or R$1.4 billion, is concentrated in projects that are to be delivered from early 2016 onwards. This will account for the sale of inventory in the coming quarters, rather than finished units.

Landbank

Gafisa segment landbank, with a PSV of approximately R$6.2 billion, is comprised of 31 different projects/ phases, amounting to nearly 11.7 thousand units, 79% located in São Paulo and 21% in Rio de Janeiro. The largest portion of land acquired through swap agreements is in Rio de Janeiro, thereby impacting the total amount of land acquired through swaps, which reached 57% in the fourth quarter.

Gafisa Vendas currently has a team of 400 highly trained, dedicated consultants, combined with an online sales force.

Delivered Projects


During 4Q14, Gafisa delivered 8 projects/phases and 1,412 units and R $ 520.0 million in PSV. In the year 23 projects / phases and 3,806 units were delivered, representing R$ 1.6 billion in PSV . Currently, Gafisa has 41 projects under construction, all of them on schedule and within the delivery timeline agreed to upon contract.

Financial Results

Revenues


Net revenues for the Gafisa segment in 4Q14 totaled R$490.9 million, up 34.4% versus 3Q14 and in line with the previous year. The expansion is the effect of the higher concentration of inventory sales, due to the absence of launches in the period, and also due to the recognition of part of the revenue related to projects launched during the year.

In 4Q14, approximately 97.8% of Gafisa Segment revenues were derived from projects in Rio de Janeiro/São Paulo, while 2.2% were derived from projects in non-core markets. The table below provides additional details.

Gross Profit & Margin

 


Gross profit for the Gafisa segment in 4Q14 was R$101.1 million, compared to R$106.7 million in 3Q14, and R$174.4 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the quarter was 20.6%, compared to the margin of 29.2% in the previous quarter. Excluding financial impacts, the adjusted gross margin reached 30.7% in 4Q14 compared to 38.7% in the 3Q14 and 42.0% in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin is the result of

the following non-recurring effects: (i) impairment adjustments totaling R$18.9 million; and (ii) the impact of R$12.4 million in the revaluation of the calculation methodology of the warranty provision for 2014. Excluding these effects, adjusted gross margin would have reached 37.1%, in line with the previous quarter. Another important effect which contributed to the reduction in gross margin in this quarter was the R$25.1 million impact related to the early recognition of revenues from two projects with higher level of units in exchange, which, considering the dynamics of accounting, ends up transitionally reducing the gross margin of those projects.

 

As seen over the last two years, Gafisa has been able to report more consistent levels of operational profitability, an effect of the strategic consolidation in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and the completion of older projects in other non-core markets.

 

The table below contains more details on the breakdown of Gafisa’s gross margin in 4Q14.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)


SG&A expenses totaled R$54.9 million in the 4Q14, a 33.9% y-o-y decrease and a slight expansion from the previous quarter.

Selling expenses decreased 29.8% y-o-y, reflecting the lack of launches in 4Q14, and an increase of 19.4% q-o-q due to the partial recognition of expenses related to 3Q14 launches, which ended up concentrating at the end of period and being recorded in the subsequent period. For the year, sales expenses totaled R$95.1 million, a significant reduction of 31.2% over last year, as a result of greater balance and assertiveness in marketing expenses and sales commission coupled with lower volume of sales in the period.

The segment’s general and administrative expenses reached R$28.9 million in 4Q14, a quarterly reduction of 9.6%, and 37.3% compared to 4Q13. In the 12M14, these expenses totaled R$124.8 million, compared to R$136.7 million in the previous year, a reduction of 8.7%.

The reduction in the level of SG&A expenses in the Gafisa segment reflects the Company's commitment to improve operational efficiency and achieve costs and expenses that are appropriate for its business cycle.

The Other Operating Revenues/Expenses line totaled an expense of R$23.2 million, an increase of 48.9% compared to the 3Q14, and down 29.9% compared to the previous year. This increase reflects the higher level of expenses on litigation related to increased deliveries of older projects held in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and the addition of expenses with Alphaville’s stock option plan, as announced in the 2Q14 earnings release.

The table below contains more details on the breakdown of this expense.

Strong deliveries over the past two years, including delayed projects in other markets, were instrumental in the increase of the contingency level. Given Gafisa’s narrowed footprint to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and the delivery of outstanding legacy projects in other markets, we should record a reduction in this potential liability. In fact, over the course of the coming years, a reduction in the volume of such expenses is expected.

Adjusted EBITDA


Adjusted EBITDA for the Gafisa segment totaled R$81.8 million in 4Q14, down 4.8%, compared to R$85.9 million in the previous year, and up by 6.7% compared to the R$76.7 million recorded in 3Q14. The result was impacted by the following factors: (i) lower gross margin in the period, due to non-recurring effects; (ii) an increase of R$7.7 million in the level of Litigation Expenses; and (iii) addition of R$3.8 million in expenses with the Alphaville’s stock option plan. It is worth noting that adjusted EBITDA does not take into consideration the impact of Alphaville equity income. The adjusted EBITDA margin, using the same criteria, reached 16.7%, compared with a margin of 17.5% in the previous year, and 21.0% in 3Q14. In the 12M14, the Gafisa segment’s adjusted EBITDA reached R$296.7 million, with a margin of 18.8%.

Gross Profit & Margin


Gross profit in 4Q14 reached R$49.5 million, compared to R$22.1 million in 3Q14, and R$47.6 million in the previous year. Gross margin for the quarter reached 31.3%, compared to 17.2% in 3Q14 and 22.1% in the prior-year period. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin is due to the increased participation of projects launched under the New Business Model, which have higher margins and profitability on Tenda’s revenue levels, as has been observed in recent quarters and more noticeably in 2014.

The adjusted gross margin ended the 4Q14 at 28.6%, slightly down from the 29.8% recorded in the previous quarter. For the year, the adjusted gross margin was 26.9%, higher than the result of 15.0% reached in 2013, due to the increased contribution from the New Business Model.

Below is Tenda’s gross margin breakdown in 4Q14. It is worth noting that the gross margin for the first projects under Tenda’s New Business Model also benefits from the use of landbank acquired in the past, resulting in increased profitability.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)


During 4Q14, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$35.4 million, a 24.7% decrease compared to R$47.1 million in 4Q13, and slightly higher than in 3Q14. For the year the reduction was 19.9%, with selling, general and administrative expenses totaling R$140.1 million.

Selling expenses totaled R$11.2 million in 4Q14, a 33.8% decrease y-o-y, due to the consolidation of sales through the segment’s own stores and the lower sales volume in the period. In the 12M14, selling expenses were reduced by 31.7%, reaching R$53.0 million.

Regarding G&A expenses, there was a reduction of 19.6% compared to 4Q13, reaching R$24.2 million. In the 12M14, G&A expenses reached R$87.1 million, down 10.5% compared to the 12M13.

The Other Operating Revenues/ Expenses line totaled an expense of R$25.5 million, an increase of 117.6% compared to the 3Q14, and 177.6% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the write-off of assets related to a revision of Tenda’s judicial deposits. The table below contains more details on the breakdown of this expense.

Over the past two years, the strong volume of deliveries related to delayed projects were instrumental in increasing the level of contingencies in the Tenda segment. With the last projects related to legacy planned to be delivered until the end of the first half, coupled with the increased contribution of the good operational performance of the New Model, the Company expects to see a reduction in the volume of such expenses over the coming years.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was negative R$30.9 million in 4Q14, compared to positive R$13.8 million last year and negative R$9.8 million in 3Q14. For the year, adjusted EBITDA was negative R$67.5 million, compared to negative R$45.6 million last year.

Y-o-Y, despite the significant expansion of the adjusted gross margin and the reduction of the expense structure, Tenda’s EBITDA was impacted by the lower level of revenues, due to the resumption of launches levels only in 2013, and the increase in the level of expenses related to contingencies.

Cash Generation
The Company’s cash generation was a highlight of the period. The Company ended the 4Q14 with operating cash flow of R$103.1 million, reaching R$298.6 million in the 12M14, reflecting: (i) the Company’s good performance in transferring/receiving process of units sold to financing agents (R$509.5 million was transferred during the period, totaling R$1.7 billion in the year), and; (ii) greater assertiveness and control over the Company’s business cycle, with a reduction in SG&A expenses; and (iii) the lower level of launches in the Gafisa segment in the last quarter, thus reducing related expenses.

Free cash generation for the period was positive again, reaching R$38.3 million. In the 12M14, excluding certain nonrecurring events, free cash generation was positive at R$81.0 million. The main non-recurring events that impacted free cash generation were: (i) R$119.3 million used in the share buyback program; (ii) the payment of R$63.6 million in taxes on the sale of Alphaville; and (iii) the payment of interest on own capital and dividends in the amount of R$163.0 million.

The Company's consolidated gross debt reached R$2.6 billion at the end of 4Q14, compared to R$2.8 billion at the end of 3Q14 and R$3.1 billion in 4Q13. As previously announced, the Company has been using part of the proceeds from the Alphaville transaction to reduce its gross debt. In the 4Q14, the Company amortized R$362.6 million in debt, of which R$145.4 million was project finance and other R$217.2 million was corporate debt. Considering the 12M14, the amount amortized was R$1.6 billion in gross debt maturing in 2014. Throughout the year there were disbursements of R$ 822.0 million, R$692 million in project finance and R$130 million in corporate debt , thus allowing for a net amortization in the year of R$783.1 million. It is worth noting that at the end of 2013, after the settlement of the sale of the 70% stake in Alphaville, the Company also amortized in the same period (December 2013) R$423 million of its debt.

Financial Results

Revenue

On a consolidated basis, net revenue in the 4Q14 totaled R$649.3 million, up 31.4% over the previous quarter and slightly down from the prior-year quarter. In the 12M14 total net revenue was R$2.1 billion.

In the 4Q14, the Gafisa segment represented 75.6% of consolidated revenues, while Tenda accounted for 24.4%. For the year, Gafisa accounted for 73.5% while Tenda accounted for 26.5% of consolidated revenues.

Gross Profit & Margin

Gross profit in 4Q14 was R$150.6 million, compared to R$128.9 million in 3Q14, and R$222.0 million in the previous year. Gross margin for the quarter reached 23.2%, down 830 bps over the previous year. Adjusted gross profit reached R$196.1 million, with a margin of 30.2%, compared to 36.4% in the 3Q14 and 37.9% in the previous year, which was, as explained above, the result of some non-recurring adjustments held in the last quarter of the year. In the 12M14 adjusted gross profit reached R$713.3 million with a gross margin of 33.2%, versus R$774.7 million and an adjusted gross margin of 31.2% recorded last year. Excluding these  adjustments, adjusted gross margin was 37.1% and 37.4% in the 4Q14 and 2014, respectively.

The gross margin has improved along the last two years as Gafisa and Tenda legacy projects are concluded, reducing their effect on the Company’s results. At the same time, projects launched in core markets and under the new Tenda business model, which are more profitable, had a larger contribution to the Company’s consolidated results over the past quarters.

With the turnaround process coming to an end, the Company is seeking to streamline its cost and expense structure and SG&A. In the coming quarters, the Company is looking to improve productivity and increase the efficiency and assertiveness of its operations.

It is worth noting that in 2014 certain non-recurring expenses were incurred. These were recorded in previous quarters, as advisory services to the Alphaville operation (R$4.4 million), and were also due to the Gafisa and Tenda separation process (R$10.7 million). Excluding these effects, general and administrative expenses totaled R$196.8 million in the 12M14, a decrease of 15.9% compared to the previous year.

The lower net profit in 2014, when compared to 2013, is a result of:

-         lower inflation rate on receivables (IGPM);

-         non-recurring expenses associated to the spin-off of the back office from Gafisa;

-         higher financial expenses associated with increased leverage and interest rates indices.

Due to the mismatch in the closing schedule and auditing process of the Companies’ financial statements, the equity income recorded in Gafisa’s result was recognized based on AUSA’s preliminary balance sheet and, therefore, the investment balance does not reflect the 30% stake in the shareholder’s equity. Considering AUSA’s final report, a positive adjustment of R$6.4 million in 1T15 will be recognized.

OUTLOOK

 

On October 20, 2014, the Company disclosed, in a Material Fact, a revision to its 2014 launch guidance ("Guidance") for the Gafisa segment, due to ongoing uncertainties in the current economic environment. This change in the projected volume of launches also affected guidance for the ratio of Administrative Expenses to Launch Volumes for the Gafisa segment, as well as projected consolidated launches.

 

Launches in 2014 totaled R$1.636 million, representing 88.4% of the midpoint of full year guidance. Gafisa segment accounted for 62.5% of launches, reaching R$1.023 million and being slightly below the guidance, and Tenda represented the remaining 37.5% with R$613.3 million, in line with the projections presented.

With the completion of the sale of the Alphaville stake in 2013, the Company began 2014 in a comfortable liquidity position. As reported in this release, the Company’s Net Debt/Equity ratio remained stable throughout the year in 2014 and ended in 47.1%. Given this scenario, and considering the Company's business plan for the coming years, the Company expects consolidated leverage to remain between 55% - 65%, as measured by the Net Debt/Equity ratio.
