MANAGEMENT COMMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS
During second quarter, we continued to execute our strategy of prioritizing the sale of inventory units, optimizing our cost structure and maximizing cash generation. In the coming quarters, Gafisa’s financial results will benefit from the increased contribution of higher-margin projects launched in 2015 and 2016 to the Company’s revenues. Recent interest rate cuts should also stimulate growth in the real estate sector, but we remain cautious and conservative about the timing of a market upturn. Net pre-sales came to R$127.1 million in 2Q17, in line with R$129.5 million recorded in 2Q16. In 1H17, net pre-sales totaled R$244.5 million. In keeping with the prioritization of inventory sales, in 2Q17, 56% of net sales related to products launched prior to year-end 2014, enabling an improved inventory position. Consolidated inventory at market value totaled R$1.5 billion, down 10% q-o-q and 23% y-o-y. Reflecting our improved sales model, SoS increased 10 percentage points to 36.8% for the last 12-month period, versus 26.5% in the previous year, despite the absence of new projects. Importantly, 2Q17 SoS was the highest level in 16 quarters, and has registered sequential increases since 3Q16. Dissolutions were concentrated in projects launched up until 2013. These projects had higher work evolution, and accordingly, impacted revenue recognition and margin composition. The volume of dissolutions continues to decrease q-o-q (-4%) and y-o-y (-15%), due to a combination of improved market conditions, lower volume of deliveries and the absence of commercial project deliveries. During prior quarters, commercial units accounted for an important portion of dissolutions. It is worth noting that 54,6% of our inventory is comprised of commercial projects. With the delivery of the last commercial project in 3Q16, we expect to experience a continued downward trend in dissolutions over the next periods. In 2Q17, 4 projects were delivered comprising 1,389 units, or R$479.9 million in PSV. In 1H17, PSV delivered totaled R$744.9 million. |

A steady volume of transfers and conservative cash management strategy supported our focus on cash generation in the quarter. Transfers in 2Q17 increased by 35.5% y-o-y, reaching R$342.5 million. As a result, operating cash generation totaled R$101.5 million in 2Q17, with a positive net generation of R$20.5 million. In 1H17, operating cash generation totaled R$197.1 million and net generation reached R$53.7 million.
Gafisa’s revenues remain impacted by a higher volume of dissolutions relating to legacy projects. In addition, the concentration of net sales in more recent projects and slower work evolution impacted the Company’s results. Net revenue came to R$147.3 million in 2Q17, up 8% q-o-q, but 31% lower than 2Q16. In 1H17, net revenue totaled R$283.8 million.
Consistent with our plan to right-size the Company and the scale of our current operations, we have been successful in decreasing expenses over the last periods. Alongside reducing expenses throughout the Company, we have implemented a more streamlined administrative structure that reflects future objectives. In 2Q17, sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 12% on a sequential basis.
Our debt was another highlight this quarter, as we achieved a substantial 36% y-o-y decrease in gross debt and a 16% q-o-q reduction. We ended 2Q17 with net debt of R$1.1 billion, 18% lower than 1Q17 and down 24% from R$1.5 billion in 2Q16. The reduction in debt also benefited leverage. With the receipt of proceeds totaling R$219.5 million from the sale of Tenda, the Company’s Net Debt/ Shareholders’ Equity ratio declined to 80.7%.
Due to the factors mentioned above, Gafisa reported a net loss of R$134.6 million in 2Q17 versus a net loss of R$36.9 million in 2Q16, excluding Alphaville equity income and the effects of the Tenda transaction.
Finally, we believe we are very close to an inflection point in our financial performance, with a potential gradual recovery in the Company’s results over the coming quarters. As the contribution of legacy projects to results decreases, and in keeping with the consistent average volume of launches of approximately R$1.0 billion over the last four years, we will start to recognize the positive results of more recent projects, including improved SoS and higher margins.
Based on a streamlined business model, solid operating platform and strong brand recognition, Gafisa is well positioned to capture value with an upswing in the Brazilian real estate market. We are ready to resume launches in the second half of the year, primarily in São Paulo, and remain committed to criteria ensuring a suitable level of sales and profitability.
We will closely follow market trends in the second half of 2017, seeking to balance of placement of new products in the market, and remain focused on inventory sales and cash generation. We are confident that Gafisa is well positioned to capitalize on a potential recovery in economic activity over the next periods.

Gafisa maintained its operations in 2Q17 under the same bases of 1Q17, with dedication and concentration of efforts on the sale of inventory units. Accordingly, no new developments were started in the second quarter. Although several projects were approved and ready for launch, the Company chose to sustain a more conservative stance in view of current macroeconomic conditions.

Gross sales in the 2Q17 totaled R$240.8 million, with dissolutions reaching R$113.6 million, resulting in R$127.1 million of net pre-sales, down 8.1% compared to the prior year period. In 1H17, gross sales totaled R$476.4 million.
In 2Q17, the Company concentrated its efforts on the sale of existing units. As a result, approximately 55.7% of net sales in the period were related to projects launched prior to the end of 2014, resulting in an improvement in the segment's inventory profile. Dissolutions, in turn, were concentrated in projects launched prior to 2013, which had higher work evolution, and accordingly, a greater impact on revenue recognition and margin structure.
In the quarter, SoS reached 7.9%, compared to 6.3% in the year-ago period and 6.7% in 1Q17.
4
The Company’s SoS for the last twelve months reached 36.8%, compared to 26.5% in 2Q16, as a result of the good sales performance in the second half of 2016 and sequential increase of inventory SoS. In the quarter, SoS was up again totaling 7.9%, compared to 6.3% in 2Q16 and 6.7% in 1Q17. SoS for the last 12 months continues to show consistent improvement, even without the benefit of launches over the last 6 months.
The macroeconomic uncertainty and economic recession observed since 2015 have directly impacted consumer confidence and, accordingly, the level of dissolutions. Given this backdrop, the reduction in the level of dissolutions has been incremental. As a result of this scenario, the volume of dissolutions in 2Q17 reached R$113.6 million. In 1H17, the level of dissolutions came to R$232.0 million, down 23.2% y-o-y.
5
Over the last three years, the Company has been working on initiatives to strengthen the credit review component of its sale process. In doing so, the Company intends to reduce the level of dissolutions throughout the construction and delivery cycle. A comprehensive credit review at the time of sale has generated a more efficient process of transferring Gafisa customers to financial institutions, even amid an unfavorable economic environment.
Gafisa is maintaining its focus on inventory reduction initiatives. Projects launched prior to the end of 2015 represented 85.2%.
The market value of inventory decreased by 9.7% q-o-q and 22.9% y-o-y to R$1.5 billion, effect of sales results in the period, and price adjustments on some projects in inventory, in keeping with current market conditions.

¹ Adjustments reflect the updates related to the project scope, launch date and pricing update in the period.
Regarding Gafisa’s inventory, approximately 62% or R$910.1 million is concentrated in projects to be delivered after 2Q18 and will not significantly increase the segment’s inventory of finished units which totaled R$565.4 million in 2Q17, or 38.3% of total.
Commercial projects account for 54.6% which reflects not only the high volume of commercial projects delivered during the last 24 months, but also low liquidity on these projects at present.
Inventory from projects launched outside core markets, which is comprised exclusively of finished units, represented R$46.1 million or 3.1% of total inventory, a decrease of 9.9% when compared to R$51.2 million in 2Q16. The Company estimates that through the beginning of 2018, it will have monetized a large portion of its inventory in non-core markets, based on the strong sales observed in these markets over the past few quarters.

In 2Q17, the Company did not acquire new landbank. The quarterly adjustments reflect updates related to project scope, expected launch date and other adjustments to landbank in the period.
2Q17 net revenues totaled R$147.3 million, up 8% q-o-q and down 31% y-o-y. In 1H17, net revenue totaled R$283.8 million. 2Q17 revenues were impacted by the mix of net sales, with a higher concentration of sales from the most recent launches, and consequently lower revenue recognition, as well as a higher provision for dissolutions, reducing gross revenue by R$9.0 million.
In the quarter, 99.4% of revenues derived from projects located in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The table below provides additional details.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses totaled R$40.9 million in 2Q17, down 12.0% q-o-q and up 3.0% y-o-y, mainly in line with inflation in the period. In 1H17, SG&A expenses totaled R$87.3 million.
Selling expenses increased 11.0% q-o-q and 5.0% y-o-y, due to higher sales in the period and current market conditions requiring higher sales and marketing investments.
G&A expenses totaled R$19.7 million in 2Q17, down 28.0% q-o-q and came in line with 2Q16.

It should be noted that over the last two quarters the Company has made an effort to adapt its personnel structure to the current market environment. Due to related severance costs, the full benefit of this adjustment could be partially seen in 2Q17.
The rightsizing of the SG&A structure reflects the Company's commitment to improved operational efficiency, allowing for an appropriate level of costs and expenses. The Company will continue to strive to maintain an efficient cost structure, and expects the recent redesign of its operational structure to better reflect the new cycle of market development.

In 2Q17, such increase was due to early conclusion of an arbitration proceeding, with negative net effect of R$18.2 million. If exclude this non-recurring process, this line was down 32.0% compared to 1Q17 and 29.3% y-o-y, keeping its tendency of a gradual reduction.
The Company continues to be proactive in mitigating risks associated with potential contingencies. As a result, the Gafisa segment continues to concentrate its operations only in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. This strategic geographic positioning, combined with improved internal processes, is expected to result in fewer future legal claims and a subsequent decrease in the amount of expenses related to contingencies in the following years.
The table below contains more details on the breakdown of this expense.

10
Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q17 was mainly impacted by the following factors: (i) lower level of revenue due to the sales mix; (ii) lower gross income in the quarter, as a result of the current market environment; and (iii) higher Other Operating Expenses.
It is worth noting that Gafisa's adjusted EBITDA does not consider the impact of the income from discontinued operations (Tenda) and the effect of Alphaville's equity income.

Depreciation and amortization reached R$8.9 million in 2Q17, up 2% q-o-q and 57% y-o-y, due to the lower volume of operations in the period. In 1H17 depreciation and amortization totaled R$17.6 million.
2Q17 net financial result was negative R$33.4 million, compared to negative result of R$28.6 million in 1Q17 and R$3.1 million in 2Q16.
Financial revenues went down 62.3% y-o-y, totaling R$9.2 million, due to the lower balance of funds available in the period. Financial expenses, in turn, reached R$42.6 million, compared to R$27.5 million in 2Q16 and R$36.4 million in 1Q17, as a result of the accounting impact of incorporating the balance of interests, as principal, due to the repricing of SFH debts over the last months. In 1H17, net financial result came negative at R$61.9 million.
11
Income taxes, social contribution and deferred taxes for 2Q17 amounted to an expense of R$0.9 million, slightly lower than 1Q17, reflecting the Company’s current operating cycle. In 1H17, Income taxes, social contribution and deferred taxes totaled R$2.3 million.
The Company ended 2Q17 with a net loss of R$134.5 million, excluding Alphaville's equity income and the impacts of Tenda operation, higher than the net loss of R$126.1 million in 1Q17, and higher than the negative net result of R$36.9 million in 2Q16. In 1H17, net loss totaled R$260.6 million, following the same criteria.
The quarter’s results were impacted by: (i) higher level of dissolutions, due to the recessive economic environment; (ii) lower level of revenues due to the sales mix, which limited the dilution of costs and the expense structure; (iii) higher Other Operating Expenses; and (iv) the negative effect on financial result.

The backlog of results to be recognized under the PoC method totaled R$161.3 million in 2Q17. The consolidated margin was 35.8% in the quarter, compared to 36.6% posted in 2Q16.
