FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - São Paulo, April 12 2012 – Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), Brazil’s leading diversified national homebuilder, today announced operational results for the quarter ending March 31^st 2012.

Duilio Calciolari, Chief Executive Officer, said: “During the first quarter of 2012 we focused on implementing the new strategy for the Company which: (i) established dedicated operating structures by brand; (ii) is reducing risk at Tenda; (iii) expanding the contribution of AlphaVille´s successful developments in our product mix and; (iv) refocusing the Gafisa brand on its core markets of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We are making solid progress in achieving our operating cash flow guidance of R$500- R$700 million for 2012 with strong unit deliveries of 6.165, sales of inventory and positive cash flow generation at Tenda for the month of March.

Gafisa continues to witness strong demand throughout Brazil for the middle and middle to high income products represented by the Gafisa and AlphaVille brands, which sold over R$498.7 million during the quarter, with a consolidated sales velocity of launches of 48%. With the implementation of a narrowed geographic focus, Sao Paulo accounted for 100% of the R$214.7 million launches for the Gafisa segment in the 1Q12 and all of the AlphaVille projects of R$249.0 million launched in the same period were outside of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.”

First-quarter 2012 launches totaled R$464 million, a 10% decrease compared to 1Q11, as the Group halted Tenda launches to focus on execution and delivery. The result represents 15% of the mid-range of full-year launch guidance of R$2.7 to R$3.3 billion and is in keeping with seasonally lower launches in the first quarter.

Four projects/phases were launched across 3 states in the first quarter, with AlphaVille accounting for 54% of launches and Gafisa the remaining 46%.

First-quarter 2012 consolidated pre-sales totaled R$408.2 million, a 50% decrease compared to 1Q11. Sales from launches represented 55% of the total, while sales from inventory comprised the remaining 45%. Consolidated sales over supply reached 10.4%, compared to 21.4% in 1Q11, reflecting fewer launches to pursue remedial action at Tenda. Excluding the Tenda brand, first-quarter sales over supply was 16.1%, compared to 17.7% in 4Q11 and 21.6% in 1Q11. The consolidated sales speed of launches reached 48.1%.

Gafisa ended the first quarter with approximately R$900 million in cash, which is similar to the balance at the end of 2011 after paying all obligations. In the 1Q12, preliminary consolidated cash burn was around R$100 million, which represents accrual of Gafisa debt. Our operational consolidated cash flow was neutral and in March, Tenda achieved positive operating cash flow.

Gafisa delivered 34 projects encompassing 6.165 units with a potential sales value at company stake of R$1.1 billion during the first quarter, double the 3.060 delivered during 1Q11. In March, the Gafisa Group achieved record unit deliveries of 3.338 units.

The market value of AlphaVille inventory totaled R$636 million at the end of 1Q12, a 11% increase compared to the end of 4Q11. Tenda inventory was valued at R$915 million at the end of 1Q12, a 2% increase compared to the end of 4Q11.

GAFISA SEGMENT                                 

First-quarter launches were stable at R$214.7 million and included 2 projects/phases across 1 state. São Paulo accounted for 100% of launches.  

First-quarter pre-sales totaled R$316.7 million, a 25% fall compared to 1Q11. Units launched during the same year represented 79% of the total, while sales from inventory accounted for the remaining 21%.  In the 1Q12, sales velocity (sales over supply) was 19.7%, compared to 19.4% in 1Q11. The sales velocity of Gafisa launches was 31.2%.

During the first quarter of 2012, Gafisa delivered 18 projects/phases and 2.456 units.

ALPHAVILLE SEGMENT 

First-quarter launches totaled R$249.0 million, a 37% increase compared with 1Q11, and included 2 projects/phases across 2 states. The results underscore the growing share of AlphaVille in the product mix. The brand accounted for 54 percent share of first-quarter consolidated launches, up from a 35 percent a year ago.

First quarter pre-sales reached R$181.9 million, a 6% increase compared to 2011. The residential lots segment’s share of consolidated pre-sales increased to 45% from 25% in 1Q11. In the 1Q12, sales velocity (sales over supply) was 22.2%, compared to 28.1% in 1Q11. First-quarter sales velocity from launches was 63.2%. Sales from launches represented 85% of total sales, while the remaining 15% came from inventory.

Projects demonstrating above average sales velocities include AlphaVille Sergipe, which was launched in March and achieved sales exceeding 65% in the first quarter, and AlphaVille Juiz de Fora, which was launched in February and achieved more than 55% sales in the same period.

During the first quarter of 2012, Alphaville delivered 3 projects/phases and 994 units.

TENDA SEGMENT 

Reflecting remedial actions at Tenda and a focus on execution and delivery, no projects were launched in the first quarter. Throughout 2012, Tenda is not expected to represent more than 10% of consolidated launch guidance of between R$2.7 and R$3.3 billion.

To recap, the Tenda segment is anticipated to represent 50% of the Gafisa Group’s planned deliveries ranging from 22,000 to 26,000 units in 2012.

New Tenda projects will only be executed if mortgages can immediately be transferred to financial institutions. In the second half of the year we will re-launch the business under a profitable model.

In keeping with a necessary change in strategy, first-quarter gross pre-sales were stable at R$248.7 million, compared to R$249.1 million in 4Q11. Since 4Q11, pre-sales recognition and the remuneration of Tenda sales force have been contingent upon the ability to pass mortgages onto financial institutions. First-quarter net pre-sales were negative R$90.4 million, compared with R$216 million in 4Q11. The net pre-sales reflects the dissolution of contracts totaling R$339.6 million with potential homeowners who no longer qualify for bank mortgages. Despite ongoing dissolutions expected in 2012, the Gafisa group is experiencing strong demand for these units. 1/3 of total dissolution at Tenda of the 1Q12 already resold to qualified customers.

Since June the number of units contracted by financial institutions has accelerated, which in part reflects the addition of a new CEF unit dedicated to major homebuilders. In the first quarter, Tenda transferred 2500 units to financial institutions or 21% of the mid-range of guidance provided for the full year of 10.000–14.000 customers.

Tenda delivered 13 projects/phases and 2.715 units in 1Q12.
