Gafisa Reports Strong Second Quarter Results
--- Posts 67% Gain in Net Income, 106% EBITDA Increase and Achieves 16.9% EBITDA Margin---
--- 2Q08 Launches Grew 102% to R$953 million; Pre-Sales Rose 62% to R$554 million from 2Q07---
--- 2008 Launch Guidance Raised to R$3.5 billion ---

São Paulo, August 14, 2008 – Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), Brazil’s leading diversified national homebuilder, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. The financial statements were prepared and presented in accordance with Brazilian GAAP and in Brazilian Reais (R$). Only financial data derived from the Company’s accounting system were subject to review by the Company’s auditors. Operating and financial information not directly linked to the accounting system (i.e., launches, pre-sales, average sales price, land bank, PSV and others) or non-BR GAAP measures were not reviewed by the auditors. Additionally, financial statements and operating information consolidate the numbers for Gafisa and its subsidiaries, and refer to Gafisa’s stake (or participation) in its developments.

“Gafisa is benefiting from its expertise in launching and delivering products to meet the continued growing demand in the housing sector while delivering strong operational and financial results. Launches increased by 102% to R$953 million in the second quarter and pre-sales grew 62% to $554 million as compared to the prior year period” noted Chief Executive Officer Wilson Amaral. “In addition to launching and developing products for Fit and Bairro Novo, our two recently formed companies that broaden our appeal to all income groups, we are now recording pre-sales and recognizing revenues from all four segments within the Company.”

Amaral continued, “With over R$775 million in cash, approximately R$200 million in receivables available for securitization, ample access to financing including standby facilities totaling R$1 billion for both construction and general corporate purposes, and a land bank of R$13 billion representing over 65,000 units, we are well positioned to accelerate our rate of growth. For those reasons, as well as the continued strong demand for housing, we are raising our launch guidance for 2008 to R$3.5 billion. We are maintaining our EBITDA margin guidance for the full year 2008 of between 16-17%.”

CEO Commentary and Corporate Highlights for 2Q 2008 

I am pleased to report that once again Gafisa is delivering strong operational and financial results. All four of Gafisa’s housing segments are now contributing to the financial results of the organization and we see this impact in all measures of the Company’s operating profitability. For example, EBITDA reached R$74 million, double that of the previous year’s quarter. Importantly, our EBITDA margin grew to 16.9% this quarter from 13.4% in last year’s second quarter as we are now seeing the impact of the investments we made in previous quarters to support the development of new housing segments to drive the future growth of the company. With this growth, we are achieving our goals of diversifying our product offering and thus our future revenue stream. In less than two years, with the acquisition of AlphaVille and launch of Fit and Bairro Novo, the original Gafisa segment has gone from providing 100% of launches and pre-sales to 62% of launches and 69% of pre-sales this quarter. As well, with the addition of these new companies we have achieved greater geographic diversity and today we have a presence in 20 states with 143 sites under development.

Our focus on delivering high quality, affordable housing to the lower income segments is proving to be a winning move. Fit Residencial is fully up and running with 18 developments throughout Brazil. From our vantage point, we continue to see strong demand for high quality housing products at the appropriate price points despite the impact of inflation on the purchasing power of this group. In July alone, Fit accounted for R$53 million in pre-sales, more than the total pre-sales amount recorded for the full year of 2007. Additionally, our first Bairro Novo development, Cotia, is advancing as planned and we are applying the valuable experience gained in the launch of a development of this scale to our second Bairro Novo project announced on July 4, Camaçari near Salvador in the State of Bahia.

We have not yet seen an impact on housing demand or access to mortgage financing in Brazil, despite talk of growing global volatility. On the contrary, our experience points to continued robust demand for housing, growing access to financing and improved mortgage terms with respect to repayment terms and loan-to-value offered consumers. This perspective is supported by the continued growth in savings accounts during the first half of 2008 reaching a level of R$196 billion, a 21% growth over June 2007. Regulation in Brazil requires that 65% of those balances be used toward financing home mortgages. As a result, we saw R$13 billion in new mortgages issued in Brazil during the first half of the year, 138% and 71% of total mortgages issued during all of 2006 and 2007, respectively. In June alone, while the Selic rate increased by 75 basis points, the value of new mortgages issued reached a record monthly high of R$3.2 billion, more than all of 2004. Finally, the overall macroeconomic picture for Brazil remains strong which should bode well for wages and employment going forward. Economic growth is fundamental to the continued expansion of Brazil’s middle class, a group that still remains highly underserved by the housing sector.

For those reasons, we are raising our launch guidance for 2008 to R$3.5 billion. We are maintaining our EBITDA margin guidance for the full year 2008 of between 16-17%.

On a final note, as I look at the accomplishments that are achieved on a quarterly basis and the growth objectives of this Company across such diverse geographies, it is clear to me that the experience and execution capabilities to deliver on these results can only have been achieved through many years of honing our collective expertise. In June, Gafisa celebrated 54 years of building homes for Brazilians and will soon complete the construction of our 1000th development.

Happy Birthday Gafisa, and thanks to all of our team who are dedicated to delivering high quality residences to all income segments of the population in Brazil.

Recent Developments 

Low Income Segment:

Fit Residencial is quickly becoming a financial contributor to the results of Gafisa as it expands its presence with 18 developments now underway in 13 cities throughout Brazil: São Paulo state, as well as the North, Northeast and Center-West regions and, with its June launch in Paraná, in the South of the country. During the second quarter Fit launched eight developments, six of which were launched in June. Demonstrating the strong appeal of these properties and expanding access to financing by this population segment, Fit recorded pre-sales of R$53 million in July alone, over 50% of the pre-sales recorded for the entire second quarter of 2008.

Bairro Novo is on track to deliver the first phase of 574 units of the Cotia project. On July 4 Bairro Novo launched the first phase of 642 units of its second large scale development which is expected to have 4,500 units when completed. Camaçari, located near Salvador in the state of Bahia is an ideal location for this type of development.

Diversified Geographies and Products:

In December 2006, the Gafisa higher income product represented 100% of the company’s revenues, pre-sales and launches and the Company was present in 10 states and 16 cities with 70 developments. At the end of the second quarter 2008, the Gafisa product represents 63% of launches and 67% of pre-sales. The Company is now present in 20 states with 143 sites with Gafisa, AlphaVille, Fit and Bairro Novo now contributing to pre-sales and revenues.

SAP and SOX implementation:

The implementation of the SAP management information system is an important tool in managing the company’s operations as it continues to grow and offer diversified housing products and to fulfill the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”). The Company has targeted three phases of roll-out for the system company wide, on June 2nd the first phase was implemented and is under stabilization. Phases 2 and 3 will be rolled out in September and October 2008, respectively.

Moody’s Ba2 International Rating:

Gafisa recently received Ba2 international and Aa3.br Brazil national scale ratings from Moody’s, adding to Gafisa’s Fitch rating of A(bra) and Standard & Poor’s rating of BrA.

Launches 

The total number of units launched by Gafisa increased by 151%, to 4,807, in the second quarter as compared to 2Q07, with launches increasing across all segments, and potential sales value more than doubling to R$952.7 million In addition to posting strong gains in launches and pre-sales, Gafisa made significant strides in further diversifying its portfolio geographically, with 60% of launches being made in new markets outside of the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Appetite for higher-end properties remained strong while the price per square meter also increased; the Gafisa segment recorded an increase of 27% on a quarter over quarter basis to R$3,276 m2. The Company’s commitment to expanding the affordable entry level segment increased during the quarter, as exemplified by launches of R$255 million at Fit, and the launch of a second Bairro Novo project in Camaçari, Bahia (Northeast region) in July 2008.

Pre-Sales and Sales Velocity 

Pre-sales contracts in the quarter increased 62% to R$554 million as compared to the second quarter of 2007 and reached 58% of new launches. Consistent with the company’s strategy of geographic diversification, pre-sales in new markets more than doubled to R$205 million on a quarterly basis, comprising more than a third of total pre-sales for the second consecutive quarter. The second quarter also saw increases in both pre-sales from current project launches, up 48% to R$332 million, as well as from inventory, up 88% to R$222 million. The more recently launched AlphaVille and Fit contributed nearly a third of pre-sales, adding diversification across business segments.

The tables below set forth a breakdown of our pre-sales for the second quarter and the first half of 2007 and 2008:

Sales Velocity 

Sales velocity during the second quarter 2008 was 21% for Gafisa. While Gafisa has several examples of sell-outs and near sell-outs within the first month of opening projects for sale during the second quarter, the pre-sales velocity for each segment during the quarter was heavily impacted by the disproportionately high number of launches across the Company during June. Gafisa launched seven of 12 projects, AlphaVille, three of four and FIT, seven of nine during the final month of the quarter providing no time to record sales against those properties. Sales velocity is calculated as follows:

Completed Projects 

In this quarter, Gafisa completed seven projects totaling 1,180 units in three regions. The Gafisa segment completed five projects targeted at the mid to mid-high income segments in São Paulo, while AlphaVille completed two large projects with an area of approximately 1 million square meters made up of lots in Ceará and Amazonas.

Gafisa, AlphaVille, Fit, Bairro Novo Revenue Contribution 

The lower income businesses, Fit, which launched its first development in March 2007 and Bairro Novo, which launched in December 2007 are beginning to contribute to pre-sales and revenues based on the Percentage of Completion or PoC accounting method. The increased launches through Fit and Bairro Novo during the first half of 2008 are expected to increase the pre-sales and revenue contribution of each in future periods.

Land Reserves 

Our land bank reached approximately R$13.2 billion, composed of 225 different sites in 66 cities in 21 states, totaling 8,4 million square meters, equivalent to 65,273 units. This ensures our ability to continue to grow launches and sales over the near term. In accordance with our land bank diversification strategy, at the end of the quarter 42% of the consolidated land bank was outside of the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states. This gives company added flexibility in developing properties in areas that will generate the highest returns at different points in time. In the second quarter, Gafisa launched projects in 10 different states.

2008 and 2007 Capitalized Interest 

Targeting best accounting practices, in 4Q07 we began to capitalize interest cost from corporate debt (mostly raised in 2007) and to recognize it on a percentage of completion basis. Accordingly, since 4Q07 we account for interest expenses on the COGS line of our income statement, thus impacting our gross margin.

In our 4Q07 earnings statements, we adjusted capitalized interest for the whole year 2007 in the fourth quarter, In the table below, we show how 2007 capitalized interest allocated among the four quarters of 2007 would have affected each quarter’s income statements, to help make the two first quarters of 2008 more comparable to 2007:

2Q08 Revenues 

Net operating revenues for 2Q08 rose 63% to R$435.7 million from R$266.6 million in 2Q07, with revenues for the first half reaching R$755.2 million.

Revenues for the industry are recognized based on actual cost versus total budgeted costs of land and construction (Percentage of Completion method or PoC method) and the pre-sales portfolio is recognized in future periods even if the company has already completely pre-sold developments.

The table below presents detailed information of pre-sales and recognized revenues by launch year:

2Q08 Gross Profits 

Gross profits for 2Q08 totaled R$143.6 million (R$77.5 million for 2Q07, adjusted for capitalized interest), an increase of 85%, reflecting continued robust demand for Gafisa properties in all market segments and geographies. Gross margin for 2Q08 was 33.0%, 390 basis points higher than 2Q07. For the first half of 2008, gross profits totaled R$250.6 million (R$143.0 million for 2Q07, adjusted for capitalized interest), an increase of 75% and gross margin went up 405 basis points to 33.2% ..

2Q08 Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

Due to our growth strategy, Gafisa made a decision to build management teams and the requisite infrastructure dedicated to diverse segments within our portfolio as well as our sales capacity during 2007. The second quarter of 2008 marks a turning point as we begin to reap the benefits of this investment, with SG&A as a percentage of launches, sales, and revenues declining. Selling Expenses increased 101% in Q208 on a quarter over quarter basis in accordance with an increased number of launches, while G&A Expenses continued to be diluted by the growth of revenues. The increased launches at Fit, in particular, have enabled the Company to leverage its sales infrastructure across a broader portfolio.

Gafisa has adopted conservative accounting standards, especially with regards to the recognition of selling expenses. The only selling expenses that we defer are those associated with the showrooms, and this, as previously noted, negatively impacts our EBITDA margin. As can be seen on the table below, our deferred selling expenses are low and will be amortized on a PoC basis:

2Q08 EBITDA 

EBITDA for the second quarter totaled R$73.9 million, 106% higher than the R$35.8 million EBITDA adjusted for capitalized interest in 2Q07. As a percentage of net revenues, EBITDA increased from 13.4% in 2Q07 to 16.9% in 2Q08, a margin increase of 351 basis points. The EBITDA margin of 16.9% was achieved despite the increase in launches and associated SG&A expenses. In the first half of 2008 EBITDA totaled R$124.6 million with a margin of 16.5% . 1H08 EBITDA was 79% higher than the R$69.6 million EBITDA adjusted for capitalized interest of 1H07. Gafisa expects to sustain EBITDA margins of 16-17% for the remainder of the 2008.

2Q08 Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization in 2Q08 amounted to R$1.6 million, compared to the R$5.5 million in 2Q07.

With regards to the amortization of the goodwill generated from the AlphaVille acquisition, we used a linear calculation for the 1Q07 and 2Q07 results, and, due to a change in amortization method, in 3Q07 and 4Q07 amortization was equal to zero. From 2008, we will amortize this goodwill through a progressive exponential calculation following the EBIT, in the percentages described below:

 
Year 1    Year 2    Year 3    Year 4    Year 5    Year 6    Year 7    Year 8    Year 9    Year 10 
4.49%    6.28%    7.22%    10.11%    11.52%    14.02%    11.78%    11.67%    11.45%    11.46% 
 

Amortization of the acquisition of AlphaVille amounted to R$2.2 million in 2Q08 and R$1.5 million in 1Q08.

2Q08 - Financial Results 

Net financial results totaled a positive R$20.4 million in 2Q08 compared to a negative R$3.0 million in 2Q07, mainly due to the capitalization of interest and interest received on the increased cash balances.

2Q08 - Income Taxes 

Net income taxes and social contribution for 2Q08 amounted to R$17.5 million versus a positive R$3.9 million contribution in 2Q07, which was due to tax credits in 2Q07. The 2Q08 figure reflects an increase in the income taxes and social contribution proportional to the growth of the company’s net income.

2Q08 - Net Income and Earnings per Share 

Net income in 2Q08 was R$58.8 million (13.5% of net revenues), compared to R$35.3 million in 2Q07 adjusted for capitalized interest (13.2% margin), an increase of 67%.

Earnings per share were R$0.45 in 2Q08 compared to R$0.27 in 2Q07 adjusted for capitalized interest. The weighted average number of shares outstanding were 129,462,921 million during 2Q08 compared to 129,195,063 million during 2Q07. Shares outstanding were 129,462,921 on June 30, 2008.

Backlog of Revenues and Results

Liquidity

The following table sets forth information on our indebtedness. In the second quarter of 2008, Gafisa issued R$250 million in debentures at a very competitive spread, reflecting our strong credit rating and cash position. In addition to our net cash position, we have over R$200 million in receivables of completed units, which are available for securitization anytime. The Ba2 rating that Moody’s recently assigned to Gafisa took into account these factors.

We maintain our EBITDA margin guidance for the full year 2008 of between 16-17%.

Glossary

Backlog of Results – As a result of the Percentage of Completion Method of recognizing revenues, we recognize revenues and expenses over a multi-year period for each residential unit we sell. Our backlog of results represents revenues minus costs that will be incurred in future periods from past sales.

Backlog of Revenues – As a result of the Percentage of Completion Method of recognizing revenues, we recognize revenues over a multi-year period for each residential unit we sell. Our backlog represents revenues that will be incurred in future periods from past sales.

Backlog Margin – Equals to “Backlog of results” divided “Backlog of Revenues” to be recognized in future periods.

Land Bank – Land that Gafisa holds for future development paid either in Cash or through swap agreements. Each decision to acquire land is analyzed by our investment committee and approved by our board of directors.

PoC Method – Under Brazilian GAAP, real estate development revenues, costs and related expenses are recognized using percentage-of-completion (“PoC”) method of accounting by measuring progress towards completion in terms of actual costs incurred versus total budgeted expenditures for each stage of a development.

Pre-sales – Contracted pre-sales are the aggregate amount of sales resulting from all agreements for the sale of units entered into during a certain period, including new units and units in inventory. Contracted pre-sales will be recorded as revenue as construction progresses (PoC method). There is no definition of "contracted pre-sales'' under Brazilian GAAP.

HIG (High Income) – segment with residential units sold at minimum price of R$3,600 per square meter.

MHI (Mid-High) – segment with residential units sold at prices ranging from R$2,800 to 3,600 per square meter.

MID (Middle Income) – segment with residential units sold at prices ranging from R$2,300 to 2,800 per square meter.

MLOW (Mid-Low) – segment with residential units sold at prices ranging from R$1,800 to 2,300 per square meter.

AEL (Affordable Entry Level) residential units targeted to the mid-low and low income segments with prices below R$1,800 per square meter.

LOT (Urbanized Lots) – land subdivisions, or lots, with prices ranging from R$150 to R$600 per square meter.

COM (Commercial buildings) – Commercial and corporate units developed only for sale with prices ranging from R$3,000 to R$7,000 per square meter.

SFH Funds – Funds from SFH are originated from the Governance Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees (FGTS) and from savings accounts deposits. Banks are required to invest 65% of the total savings accounts balance in the housing sector, either to final customers or developers, at lower interest rates than the private market.

Swap Agreements – A system in which we grant the land-owner a certain number of units to be built on the land or a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of units in such development in exchange for the land. By acquiring land through this system, we intend to reduce our cash requirements and increase our returns.

PSV – Potential Sales Value.
