2019 MANAGEMENT REPORT

 

Dear Shareholders,

The year of 2019 has been remarkable in the history of Gafisa, has gone through an in-depth restructuring process, leading to a substantial improvement in our operational performance and financial results.

In terms of cash structuring, we have successful completed two capital increases with total funding of US$ 100 million, resulting in new institutional investors in the Company’s ownership structure.

We have engaged Bain Co., to support us with our Planning, and Falconi Consultores, to implement our working method and the goals to be attained in 2020.

We have decided to not launch any new venture while we do not fully control our operations and, most importantly, our finances.

Leverage, measured by the ratio of net debt to equity, dropped to 34%, down by 118.6 p.p. on the same period of the previous year.

As event after the reporting date, we have also received the approval from Banco do Brazil for renegotiating the debt we had with that institution, which will extend the maturity of short-term liability.

Fixed and variable costs have been reduced by more than R$ 50 million, and 18 ventures had their construction works resumed, two of which have already been delivered to our customers.

We have renegotiated important debts, financial ones and with suppliers, obtained many credit facilities in the market and significantly reduced the accounting provisions.

Moreover, we have resumed the process of relisting our stocks in the US market, to increase our access to new investors.

Our financial results had a significant improvement, considering that our net debt fell to R$ 325 million, a 57% drop in relation to 2018.

Cash and banks have changed from R$ 63 million in the 1Q2019 to R$ 414 million in the 4Q2019.

Our gross margin has substantially improved to approximately 30%, whereas in 2018 it stood at 12%.

Finally, we have reversed an adjusted net loss of (R$ 356 million) in 2018 to (R$ 14 million) in 2019. If we do not consider the divestment of the interest held in Alphaville Urbanismo S.A., the company recorded a profit of R$ 15 million.

Attaining this result is extremely relevant, as the company’s latest profit was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In December, we have signed a Letter of Intent for acquisition of UPCON, a renowned developer operating in São Paulo market.

With this operation, to be submitted for the approval of our shareholders in next April, we will strengthen Gafisa with both assets and experience and the complementary skills that we will have with their executive team.

We have projects that have already been approved, continue to prospect businesses and land, are capitalized with the important increase in capital made in 2019, and we count on a highly engaged team to launch new ventures in 2020.

Gafisa, relying on a traditional trademark, recognized as benchmark for the Brazilian market and with a business model that has been daily improved, is positioned to begin a new development and growth cycle, resuming its successful history and creating value to our shareholders.

We thank the support of our shareholders, who gave us a vote of absolute confidence in the company’s management, the loyalty of our customers, the partnership of our suppliers, and the contribution of our team of professionals, who, in a demonstration of full commitment to the company, has been of fundamental importance to rebuild the company and pave this new path.

Gafisa’s Management Committee & Executive Board

 

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

In line with its restructuring process, Gafisa has concentrated its efforts during the year to restructure itself internally. Two capital increases, totaling R$ 405 million, have been fundamental to adjust the Company’s capital structure.  

Cash and Banks amounted to R$ 414 million in the 4Q2019, as compared to R$ 63 million in the 1Q2019, reflecting the strict discipline to use the inflow of operating cash to pay the Company’s commitments, preserving the funds obtained in the capital increase as a liquidity cushion and resource that enables us to resume our growth.

During 2019, we have equated a relevant portion of our financial liabilities, adjusting the flow to the monetization curve of the units and often reducing the debt cost.  We are in an advanced stage in the renegotiation of other transactions, following the rationale of extending terms and reducing costs.  This entire process and the commitment demonstrated by the new Management enabled the Company to reestablish good relationship with the financial markets while seeking new transactions, as well as with major players in the capital markets.  In the end of the 4Q2019, net debt has been reduced to R$316.3 million, as compared to R$752 million reported in the previous year.

The net debt-to-equity ratio in the end of the 4Q19 reached 35.3%, down by nearly 58% on the amount reported in the 4Q18 of R$ 752 million.

 

Chart 1 – Net Debt, Net Debt/Equity, Cash (in millions of reais - R$)

The Company’s decision to not launch new ventures over the year has directly affected sales performance.

Gross sales totaled R$ 292 million in 2019, a drop by 72% in relation to the same period of the previous year (R$ 1.04 billion). Sales over Supply (SoS) over the past 12 months reached 18.2%, a drop by 21.7 p.p. in relation to the same period of the previous year.

Meanwhile, with the renegotiation efforts that have been made with Gafisa’s customers, the contract cancellations reported for the year amounted to R$ 96.4 million, a drop by 57.7% year-on-year. We have noted that the trend downward in contract cancellation has consolidated throughout 2019. In addition, the trend upward in real estate prices in general, noted throughout 2019, combined with the consolidation of the Contract Cancellation Law, have, in our opinion, also contributed to decrease the incentives for customers to cancel contracts.

The market value of the Company’s inventory at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled R$ 881.7 million.

Deliveries totaled 363 units with a TSV of R$171.3 million, divided into 2 projects or phases in 2019. Moreover, in December 2019, the certificate of occupancy of a venture comprising 63 units and TSV of R$ 37 million has been obtained. In the end of 2019, Gafisa had 17 active construction sites.

The TSV passed on amounted to R$ 171 million for the year-to-date. The estimate for 2020 is a significant increase in the TSV passed on, once eight Gafisa ventures are expected to be delivered, with a TSV to be passed on that may exceed R$ 1 billion.

Net revenues totaled R$400.4 million in 2019, a drop by 58.3% in relation to the amount reported in the previous period.

Meanwhile gross profit amounted to R$117.7 million in 2019, above that of 2018 (R$ 115 million), even though revenue was lower. As a result, gross margin for 2019 stood at 29.4%, reflecting the more effective management of the new Management of the Company.

The adjusted gross margin was 37% in 2019, up 13.3 p.p. on the margin reported in 2018, and up 37.5 p.p. on that reported in 2017.

Recurring general and administrative expenses fell from R$74.4 million in 2018 to R$ 50.6 million in 2019, a saving of R$ 23.6 million, which represents 31.7%. This saving is a direct result of the plan for cutting expenses carried out over the year, with the adjustment of the structure to the new model of the Company.

The adjusted EBITDA reached R$214 million in the end of 2019, a 68.5% increase as compared to the amount reported  in the previous year (R$ 127 million).

We have obtained the reversal of the loss of approximately R$ 406 million. The net result for 2019 was negative by R$ 13.7 million, as compared to the net loss of R$419.5 million reported in the previous year. If we exclude the effect of the divestment of Alphaville Urbanismo S.A., we would have obtained a Net Income of R$ 15.1 million.

 

HUMAN RESOURCES

We have an experienced team is at the vanguard of the Brazilian real estate sector and other business types, which positively contributes to the continuous improvement in our processes, customer satisfaction and respect, as well as to attain favorable results to our Company.

In the last year we have made drastic changes in our leadership, which enabled us to form a heterogenous team with complementary competences and engaged to deliver results to our shareholders.

Also, occupational safety and accident are central themes for Gafisa. Therefore, we maintain a continuous program of risk identification, prevention and mitigation, which aims, besides preserving the physical integrity of our direct or indirect staff, to offer a basis for a healthier life. For us, investing in safety is a guarantee of wellness in and out of the work environment. We offer training programs to the team in the field (directly related to construction works), as well as to our collaborators of third-party companies, who provide services in our sites and some ventures.

The Company has 250 employees (base December 2019).

Moreover, it is responsible for monitoring the internal control and internal auditing processes, and choosing the accounting policies. The members are Gilberto Braga, Pedro Carvalho de Mello and Thomas Cornelius Azevedo Reichenheim.

 

DIVIDENDS, SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND SHARE DATA

 

In order to protect the interest of all shareholders equally, the Company establishes that, according to the effective legislation and the best governance practices, the following rights are entitled to Gafisa’s shareholders:

ü  Vote in annual or extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, and make recommendations and provide guidance to the Board of Directors on decision making;

ü  Receive dividends and participate in profit sharing or other share-related distributions, in proportion to their interest in capital;

ü  Supervise Gafisa's management, according to its Articles of Incorporation, and step down from the Company in the cases provided in the Brazilian Corporate Law; and

6


 
 

ü  Receive at least 100% of the price paid for common share of the controlling stake, according to the Listing Rules of Novo Mercado, in case of public offering of shares as a result of the disposal of the Company's control.

 

Under the terms of article 47, paragraph 2 (b) of Articles of Incorporation, the balance of net income for the year, calculated after the deductions provided in the Articles of Incorporation and adjusted according to article 202, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, will have 25% of it allocated to the payment of mandatory dividend to all shareholders of the Company.

Considering that the Company recognized loss for the year ended December 31, 2019, there is no proposal for allocation of net income and dividend distribution for such year.

 

CAPITAL MARKETS

 

The Company has diluted capital, its shares are traded in the Brazilian market and abroad through American Depositary Receipt (ADR). From December 17, 2018, Gafisa’s shares are no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and its ADRs started to be traded Over the Counter (OTC). The Company’s delisting process was approved in the meeting of the Board of Directors held on November 26, 2018. The rationale behind this decision is supported by the weighing of the costs against the benefits inherent in the ADR program.

Gafisa is currently going through the process for re-listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), aiming to increase the visibility of the Company and access to new markets. 

In 2019, we reached an average daily trading volume of R$2.2 million on B3 and US$ 124.7 thousand on the NYSE/OTC.

The Company’s shares ended the year 2019 quoted at R$8.67 (GFSA3) and US$1.81 (GFASY).

 

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Company’s policy on commissioning non-external audit services to independent auditors is based on principles that preserve their autonomy. These internationally accepted principles consist of the following: (a) the auditor cannot audit its own work, (b) the auditor cannot function in the role of management in its client, and (c) the auditor cannot promote the interests of its client. 

According to Article 2 of CVM Instruction 381/03, Gafisa informs that BKR Lopes Machado, responsible for general auditing, and BDO Auditores Independentes, responsible for SOx auditing, the independent registered accounting firms of the Company and its subsidiaries, did not provide services other than independent audit in 2019.

 

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

 

The Executive Management declares, in compliance with article 25, paragraph 1, items V and VI, of CVM Instruction 480/2009, that it revised, discussed and agrees with the Financial Statements contained in this Report and the opinion issued in the report of Independent Registered Accountants on them.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

To

Shareholders and Board members of

Gafisa S.A.

São Paulo, SP

 

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Gafisa  S.A. (“Gafisa” or “Company”), identified as Company and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019, and the respective statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the corresponding explanatory notes, including the summary of significant accounting policies.

 

Opinion on the individual financial statements

 

In our opinion, the aforementioned individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gafisa S.A. as of December 31, 2019, and the performance of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

 

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

 

In our opinion, the aforementioned individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Gafisa S.A. as of December 31, 2019, and its consolidated performance of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

 

Basis for opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities, according to such standards, are described in the following section, entitled “Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of individual and consolidated financial statements”. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries, according to the relevant ethical principles established in the Accountant’s Code of Professional Ethics and the professional standards issued by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and comply with other ethical responsibilities according to such standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to base our opinion.

Emphasis

 

Accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the CVM

 

As described in Note 2.1, the individual (Company) and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the CVM. Accordingly, the determination of the accounting policy to be adopted by the entity, on recognition of revenue from purchase and sale of real estate unit not yet completed, on aspects related to transfer of control, follows the understanding expressed by CVM in the Circular Letter/CVM/SNC/SEP 02/2018 on the application of NBC TG 47 (IFRS 15). Our opinion does not contain exception in relation to this matter.

 

Key audit matters

 

Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and, therefore, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

Recognition of revenues

 

The Company recognizes real estate sales revenue during construction as established in the Circular Letter CVM/SNC/SEP 02/2018, as described in the Notes 2.1 and 2.2.2 to the individual and consolidated financial statements.  The recognition of the revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries requires the measurement of progress and satisfaction of performance obligation over time. This measurement requires significant and timely judgment by the Management of the Company and its subsidiaries of the estimate of inputs and expenditures necessary for satisfying the respective performance obligations, considering, for example, the costs to be incurred until the completion of construction works and measurement of the progress of the respective real estate ventures.

 

Consequently this matter was considered key for our audit because we consider the high risk of subjectivity in the evaluation of the estimates made by the Company’s Management, linked to the relevance and amounts involved in revenue recognition.

 

How our audit conducted this matter:

 

Our main audit procedures aimed at the appropriate recognition of the revenue from real estate sales during construction were the following: (i) Evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls directly related to the approval and revision of construction costs (incurred and to be incurred), used in the calculation of the percentage of completion of real estate ventures; (ii) On sampling basis, we have obtained budget maps – from the commencement of construction of the qualifiable asset until its latest version - and we compared them with the accounting records. We also compared, on sampling basis, the documents supporting the incurred costs, units sold, and amount of sales contracts used in revenue calculation; (iii) Recalculation of revenue recognized based on information extracted from the budgets approved by the engineer responsible for the venture; (iv) analytical reviews of the estimates of costs incurred and to be incurred; and (v) evaluation of the disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Based on the findings of the followed audit procedures, we understand that: (i) the assumptions adopted by Management to estimate the costs to be incurred are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements; and (ii) the calculations made by Management concerning the percentage of completion correspond to the criteria established in the Circular Letter CVM/SNC/SEP 02/2018.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

 

According to Note 2.2.1 – item c and 16, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits of tax, civil and labor nature, for which Management estimates the involved amounts and records a provision in the individual and consolidated financial statements for the cases it considers that there will be a probable loss, as established in the accounting standard CPC 25 (IAS 17) - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Besides the lawsuits considered as probable loss, the Company is party to labor and civil lawsuits in progress, for which no provision is recorded, as losses are considered possible or remote by Management, based on the positions of its legal counsel. The risk evaluation and loss estimates are prepared by management based on available evidences and opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, involving high judgement level, given the complexity of themes. The progress of such lawsuits in the many applicable levels may result in change in the evaluation of risk of loss, and significantly impact the recognized provisions and the profit or loss of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Due to the volume of claims, the criteria established for timely identifying the need for recognizing a provision and the existence of significant judgments involved in the process of evaluation and measurement of provisions and disclosures of contingent liabilities, we considered it a key audit matter.

 

How our audit conducted this matter:

 

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) obtaining, reading and evaluating the mails of the legal counsel of the Company and its subsidiaries, (ii) matching the total contingent liabilities mentioned by the Company’s legal counsel that are expected to lead to a probable outflow of funds with the existing accounting provision in the individual and consolidated financial statements, (iii) inspecting the Management’s meeting minutes, and (iv) analyzing the disclosures made in the notes to the individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

During the auditing process, there was the need for adjustments that affected the measurement and disclosure of the provision for contingent liabilities.  These adjustments also reveal the need for review and improvement in internal controls.

 

Divestment of the associate Alphaville Urbanismo e Investimento in the Subsidiary SPE GDU Loteamentos Ltda.

 

As detailed in notes 1.3 and 9.1(i) to the financial statements, the Company entered with Alphaville Urbanismo S.A. (“Alphaville”), Private Equity AE Investimentos e Participações S.A. (“PEAE”) and PEAE’s affiliates into a Contract for Purchase and Sale, Redemption of Shares, Corporate Structuring and Other Covenants, disposing its 21.20% interest in the associate Alphaville Urbanismo. This transaction was recognized by using the acquisition method, which requires, among other procedures, that the Company determines at the effective control acquisition date, the fair value of the transferred consideration, the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the determination of goodwill or gain from bargain purchase. Such procedures usually involve a high judgement level and the need for developing fair value estimates based on calculations and assumptions related to the future performance of the acquired business and that are subject to a high level of uncertainty. In view of the related high judgement level and the impact that any change in assumptions may have on the financial statements, we consider it a key audit matter.

 

How our audit conducted this matter:

 

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) obtaining and reading the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) performed by Specialized Company, and, with the support of our corporate finance experts, we analyzed the methodology used for measuring at fair value the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction, and we evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the cash flow projection and the calculations made by comparing, when available, with market information, as well as evaluated the main assumptions used and the impacts of possible changes in such assumptions on the determined fair values and their materiality in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, (ii) inspecting the Management’s meeting minutes and disclosure of Material Facts of the transaction, (iii) accounting mapping and understanding of the records made for divestment and investment, and (iv) analyzing the disclosures made in the notes to the individual and consolidated financial statements.

Based on the findings of the performed audit procedures, we understand that the criteria, assumptions and accounting records used by Management were appropriate, and the disclosures are consistent with the obtained data and information.

 

Other matters

 

Statement of value added

 

The individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the year ended December 31, 2019, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, and presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, were submitted to the audit procedures performed together with the audit of the financial statements of the Company. To form our opinion, we evaluated whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their formats and contents follow the criteria established in the NTC TG 09 – Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, the accompanying statements of value added were fairly prepared, in all material respects, according to the criteria established in such Standard and are consistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

 

Audit of the amounts related to the comparative individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018

 

The corresponding individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were previously audited by other independent auditors, who issued a report dated March 28, 2019 without exception, and containing emphasis related to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to the real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the CVM.

 

Other information that accompany the individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report

 

The Company’s Management is responsible for such other information, which comprise the Management Report.

 

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not include the Management Report, and we do not express any type of audit conclusion on such report.

 

In connection with the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report, and, in doing so, consider whether such report is, in material respects, inconsistent with the financial statements or with the knowledge we obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement in the Management Report, we are required to report such fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

 

11


 
 

 

Management’s and governance responsibility for the individual and consolidated financial statements

 

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the CVM, and for the internal controls that it deemed necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In the preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, when applicable, the matters related to its going concern, and the use of this accounting basis in the preparation of the financial statements, unless Management intends to liquidate the Company, or cease its operations, or do not have any realistic alternative to avoid the discontinuance of operations.

 

Those charged with governance of the Company and its subsidiaries are those with responsibility for supervising the process of preparation of the financial statements.

 

Independent auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of financial statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report including our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect any existing material misstatements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could be reasonably expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of such financial statements.

 

As part of the audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

·       Identify and assess risks of material misstatements of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, once fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations and the override of internal control.

 

·       Obtain understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

·       Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

·       Conclusion on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubts on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, then we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidences obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

12


 
 

·       Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

·       Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and, consequently, the audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in the internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide to those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including the applicable independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report, unless the law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2.   Presentation of financial statements and summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.1.     Basis of presentation and preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements

 

On March 26, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved these individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company and authorized their disclosure.

 

The individual financial statements, identified as “Company”, have been prepared and are being presented according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and are disclosed together with the consolidated financial statements.

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared and are being presented according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the CPC, approved by the CVM, and according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

The individual financial statements of the Company are not considered in compliance with the IFRS, once they consider the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets of investees in the financial statements of the Company. In view of the fact that there is no difference between the Company’s and the consolidated equity and profit or loss, the Company opted for presenting such individual and consolidated information in only one set.

 

The consolidated financial statements are specifically in compliance with the IFRS applicable to real estate development entities in Brazil, registered with the CVM. The aspects related to the transfer of control in the sale of real estate units follow the understanding of the Company’s Management, aligned with that expressed by the CVM in Circular Letter/CVM/SNC/SEP 02/2018 about the application of Technical Pronouncement CPC 47 – Revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS 15).

2.1.     Basis of presentation and preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements--Continued

 

All material information characteristic of the financial statements, and only it, is being evidenced, and corresponds to those used by Management in its administration.

 

The presentation of the individual and consolidated Statement of Value Added (DVA) is required by the Brazilian corporate legislation and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to publicly-held companies and was prepared according to CVM Resolution 557, of November 12, 2008, which approved the accounting pronouncement CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added. The IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement. Consequently, under the IFRS, this statement is presented as additional information, without causing harm to the financial statements as a whole.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Management makes an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing the financial statements.

The individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost, except for those measured at fair value, when indicated.

All amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements are in thousands of reais, except as otherwise stated.

 

 

2.1.1.     Consolidated financial statements

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of Gafisa and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed or is entitled to variable returns arising from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through the power that it exerts over the entity. The existence and the potential effects of voting rights, which are currently exercisable or convertible, are taken into account when evaluating whether the Company controls other entity. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the control is transferred and the consolidation is discontinued from the date control ceases.

 

In the Company’s individual financial statements, the financial statements of direct and indirect subsidiaries are recognized using the equity method.

The accounting practices were uniformly adopted in all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements, and the fiscal year of these companies is the same of the Company. See further details in Note 9.

 

2.1.2.     Functional and presentation currency

 

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Brazilian real, mainly because of its revenues and the incurred costs of operations.

2.2.     Summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.2.1.     Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

Accounting estimates and judgments are evaluated on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations on future events, considered reasonable under the circumstances.

 

 

The preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date of financial statements.

 

Assets and liabilities subject to estimates and assumptions include the provision for asset impairment, transactions with share-based payment, provision for legal claims, fair value of financial instruments, measurement of the estimated cost of ventures, deferred tax assets, among others.

 

The main assumptions related to sources of uncertainty over future estimates and other important sources of uncertainty over estimates at the reporting date of the statement of financial position, which may result in different amounts upon settlement are discussed below:

 

a)   Impairment loss of non-financial assets

 

An impairment loss exists when the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

 

The calculation of the fair value less cost to sell is based on available information on sale transactions of similar assets or market prices less additional costs of disposal. The calculation of the value in use is based on the discounted cash flow model.

 

Cash flows are derived from the budget for the following five years, and do not include uncommitted restructuring activities or future significant investments that will improve the asset basis of the cash-generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used under the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash inflows, and to the growth rate used for purposes of extrapolation.

 

Indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill attributable to future economic benefit are tested at least annually, and/or when circumstances indicate a decrease in the carrying value. The main assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of cash-generating units are detailed in Note 9.

b)  Share-based payment transactions

 

The Company measures the cost of transactions with employees to be settled with shares based on the fair value of equity instruments on the grant date. For cash-settled share-based transactions, the liability is required to be remeasured at the end of each reporting period through the settlement date, recognizing in profit or loss possible changes in fair value, which requires revaluation of the estimates used at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of the fair value of share-based payments requires the determination of the most adequate pricing model to grant equity instruments, which depends on the grant terms and conditions.

 

It also requires the determination of the most adequate data for the pricing model, including the expected option life, volatility and dividend income, and the corresponding assumptions. The assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value of share-based payments are disclosed in Note 18.3.

 

c)  Provision for legal claims

 

The Company is party to many lawsuits and administrative proceedings and recognizes a provision for tax, labor and civil claims (Note 16). Provisions are recognized for all claims related to lawsuits which likelihoods of losses are considered probable. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account the changes in circumstances, such as applicable statutes of limitations, findings of tax inspections, or additional exposures found based on new court issues or decisions.

 

Contingent liabilities for which losses are considered possible are only disclosed in a note to financial statements, and those for which losses are considered remote are neither accrued nor disclosed.

 

Contingent assets are recognized only when there are secured guarantees or final and unappealable favorable court decisions. Contingent assets with probable favorable decision are only disclosed in explanatory note.

 

There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of complex tax rules and in the value and timing of future taxable income. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to assessments, audits, legal claims and administrative proceedings in civil, tax and labor matters.

d)  Allowance for expected credit losses

 

The Company makes an in-depth analysis of the contracts with customers outstanding for recognizing the allowance for expected credit losses for all sale contracts of real estate units, and the amounts are accrued as contra-entry to the recognition of the respective development revenue, based on data history of its current operations and estimates. This allowance is calculated based on the percentage of completion of the construction work, the methodology used for recognizing profit or loss (Note 2.2.2). Such analysis is individually made by sale contract, in line with CPC 48 – Financial Instruments, item 5.5.17 (c).

 

The Company annually reviews its assumptions for recognizing the loss allowance, in the face of the review of the history of its current operations and improvement in its estimates.

 

e)  Warranty provision

 

The Company and its subsidiaries record a provision to cover expenditures for repairing construction defects covered during the warranty period, is based on the estimate that considers the history of incurred expenditures adjusted by the future expectation, which is regularly reviewed, except for the subsidiaries that operate with third-party companies, which are the own guarantors of the provided construction services. The warranty term provided is five years from the delivery of the venture.

 

f)    Estimated cost of construction

 

Estimated costs, mainly comprising the incurred and estimated costs for completing the construction works, are regularly reviewed, based on the progress of construction, and any resulting adjustments are recognized in profit or loss of the Company. The effects of such estimate reviews affect profit or loss.

 

g)  Realization of deferred income tax

 

The initial recognition and further analysis of the realization of a deferred tax asset is carried out when it is probable that a taxable profit will be available in subsequent years to offset the deferred tax asset, based on projections of results, and supported by internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that enable its total or partial use.

h)  Allowance for contract cancellation

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for contract cancellation when it identifies cash inflow risks. Contracts are monitored to identify the moment when these conditions are mitigated.

While it does not occur, no revenue or cost is recognized in profit or loss, the amounts only being recorded in asset and liability accounts.

 

        The other provisions recognized in the Company are described in Note 2.2.22.

 

2.2.2.     Recognition of revenue and expenses

 

The Company applied CPC 47 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers from January 1, 2018, including the guidance contained in Circular Letter CVM/SNC/SEP 02/2018, of December 12, 2018, which establishes the accounting procedures for recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain types of transactions arising from contracts for purchase and sale of real estate unit not yet completed in real estate development entities.

 

According to CPC 47, the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers started to have a new regulation, based on transfer of control over promised goods or service, which can be at a point in time or over time, according to the satisfaction or not of the “contractual performance obligations”. Revenue is measured in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled and is based on a five-step model detailed as follows: 1) identification of contract; 2) identification of performance obligations; 3) determination of transaction price; 4) allocation of transaction price to performance obligations; 5) revenue recognition.

 

The Company records the accounting effects of contracts only when: (i) the parties approve the contract; (ii) it can identify each party’s rights and the established payment terms; (iii) the contract has commercial substance; and (iv) is probable that it will collect the consideration to which the Company is entitled.

 

(i)     Real estate development and sales

 

(a)     For the sales of completed units, revenues are recognized when the sale is completed with transfer of control, regardless of the timing of receipt of the contractual value.

(b)     For the pre-sale of completed units during construction phase:

 

·  The incurred cost (including cost of land, and other directly related expenditure for making inventory) that corresponds to the units sold is included in profit or loss. For the units not yet sold, the incurred cost is included in inventory (Note 2.2.7);

·  Sales revenues are recognized in profit or loss to the extent construction progresses, once the transfer of control is performed continually, using the percentage-of-completion method for each venture, this percentage being measured in view of the incurred cost in relation to the total estimated cost of the respective ventures;

·  Sales revenues recognized in excess of actual payments received from customers is recorded as either a current asset or long-term receivables in “Trade accounts receivable”. Any payment received in connection with the sales of units that exceeds the amount of revenues recognized is recorded as “Payables for purchase of land and advances from customers";

·  Interest and inflation-indexation charges on accounts receivable, as well as the adjustment to present value of account receivable, are included in the real estate development and sales when incurred, on a pro rata basis using the accrual basis of accounting;

·  Financial charges on account payable for acquisition of land and those directly associated with the financing of construction are capitalized and recorded in the inventory of properties for sale, and included in the incurred cost of units under construction until their completion, and follow the same recognition criteria as the cost of real estate development for units sold while under construction;

·  The taxes levied and deferred on the difference between real estate development revenues and the cumulative revenue subject to tax are calculated and recognized when this difference in revenues is recognized;

·  Other expenses, including advertising and publicity, are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.

(ii)    Construction services

 

Revenues from real estate services are recognized as services are rendered and tied to the construction management activities for third parties and technical advisory services.

 

(iii)   Barter transactions

 

Barter transactions have the objective of receiving land from third parties that are settled with the delivery of real estate units or transfer of portions of the revenue from the sale of real estate units of ventures. The land acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries is determined based on fair value, as a component of inventories, with a corresponding entry to advances from customers in liabilities. Revenues and costs incurred from barter transactions are included in profit or loss over the course of construction period of ventures, as previously described in item (i)(b).

 

2.2.3.     Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments are recognized from the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of financial instruments, and mainly comprise cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, loans and financing, suppliers, and other debts.

 

After initial recognition, financial instruments are measured as described below:

 

(i)     Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss

 

A financial instrument is classified into fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading, or designated as such at initial recognition.

 

Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages these investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the investment strategy and risk management. After initial recognition, related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.

 

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and their fluctuations are recognized in profit or loss.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company does not have derivative financial instruments with the objective of mitigating the risk of its exposure to the volatility of indices and interest rates, recognized at fair value directly in profit or loss for the year. In accordance with its treasury policies, the Company does not have or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than for hedging.

 

The Company does not adopt the hedge accounting practice.

(ii)    Financial assets

 

        Financial assets are classified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, amortized cost and fair value through comprehensive income. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at their initial recognition, when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, based on the business model in which the asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.

 

        Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not designated at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition.

 

The financial assets of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments.

 

        Derecognition (write-off)

 

        A financial asset (or, as the case may be, a portion of a financial asset or portion of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

 

·       The rights to receive cash inflows of an asset expire;

 

·       The Company transfers its rights to receive cash inflows of an asset or assume an obligation to fully pay the cash inflows received, without significant delay, to a third party because of a “transfer” agreement; and (a) the Company substantially transfers the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company does not substantially transfer or retain all risks and rewards related to the asset, but transfers the control over the asset.

 

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash inflows of an asset, or signed an agreement to transfer it, and has not substantially transferred or has retained all risks and rewards related to the asset, an asset is recognized to the extent of the continuous involvement of the Company with the asset. In this case, the Company also recognizes a related liability. The transferred asset and related liability are measured based on the rights and obligations that the Company has maintained.

 

The continuous involvement by means of a guarantee on the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying value of the asset and the highest consideration that may be required from the Company.

Impairment of Financial assets:

 

Financial assets, except for those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are tested for indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. The impairment losses are recognized if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment of the financial asset as a result of one or more events that have occurred after its initial recognition, with impact on the estimated future cash flows of such asset.

 

For financial assets recorded at cost, the impairment loss corresponds to the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current return rate of a similar asset. This impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

 

The carrying amount of the financial asset is directly reduced by the impairment loss for all financial assets, except for accounts receivable, in which the carrying amount is reduced by allowance. Subsequent recoveries of previously derecognized amounts are credited to the allowance. The changes in the carrying amount of the allowance are recognized in profit or loss.

 

 (iii)  Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition at amortized cost or measured at fair value through profit or loss.

               

        Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities for trading and financial liabilities designated at initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss.

               

        Loans and financing

 

        Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and financing accruing interest are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit or loss, at the time liabilities are derecognized, as well as during the amortization process using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition (write-off)

 

        A financial liability is derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

 

        When an existing financial liability is substituted for another from the same creditor, under substantially different terms, or when the terms of an existing liability are significantly modified, this substitution or change is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability, the difference in the corresponding carrying values being recognized in profit or loss.

 

2.2.4.     Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments

 

Cash and cash equivalents substantially comprise demand deposits and bank certificates of deposit held under resale agreements, denominated in Reais, with high market liquidity and contractual maturities of 90 days or less, and for which there are no penalties or other restrictions for the immediate redemption thereof.

 

Cash equivalents are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and are recorded at the original amounts plus income earned, calculated on a “pro rata basis", which are equivalent to their market values, not having any impact to be accounted for in the Company’s equity.

 

Short-term investments include bank deposit certificates, federal government bonds, exclusive investment funds that are fully consolidated, and collaterals, which are classified at fair value through profit or loss (Note 4.2).

 

2.2.5.     Trade accounts receivable

 

These are presented at present and realizable values. The classification between current and non-current is made based on the expected maturity of contract installments, considering current those falling due in one year or less.

 

The installments due are indexed based on the National Civil Construction Index (INCC) during the period of construction, and based on the General Market Price Index (IGP-M) and interest at 12% p.a., after the delivery of the units.

2.2.5.     Trade accounts receivable--Continued

 

The adjustment to present value is calculated between the contract signature date and the estimated date to transfer the completed property’ keys to the buyer, using a discount rate represented by the average rate of the financing obtained by the Company, net of inflation, as mentioned in Note 2.2.19.

 

Considering that financing its customers is an important part of the Company operations, the reversal of the present value adjustment was carried out as contra-entry to the group of real estate development revenue, consistently with interest incurred on the portion of receivables balance related to the period subsequent to the handover of keys.

 

2.2.6.     Mortgage-backed Securities (CRIs) and Housing Loan Certificate (CCI)

 

The Company and its subsidiaries carry out the assignment and/or securitization of receivables related to receivables with collateral of completed projects and those still under construction. This securitization is carried out through the issuance of the Housing Loan Certificate (“Cédula de Crédito Imobiliário” or CCI), which is assigned to financial institutions. When there is no right of recourse, this assignment is recorded as reduction of accounts receivable. When there is right of recourse against the Company, the assigned receivable is maintained in the statement of financial position and the funds from assignment are classified into the account “Obligations assumed on assignment of receivable”, until certificates are settled by customers.

 

In this situation, the transaction cost is recorded in “finance expenses” in the statement of profit or loss for the year in which it is made.

 

When there are financial guarantees, represented by the acquisition of subordinated CRI, they are recorded on the statement of financial position as “short-term investments” at the realizable value, which is equivalent to fair value.

 

2.2.7.     Properties for sale

 

The Company and its subsidiaries acquire land for future real estate developments, on payment conditions in current currency or through barter transactions. Land acquired through barter transaction is stated at fair value of the units to be delivered, and the revenue and cost are recognized according to the criteria described in Note 2.2.2 (iii).

 

Properties are stated at construction cost, and decreased by the provision when it exceeds its net realizable value. In the case of real estate under construction, the portion in inventories corresponds to the cost incurred for units that have not yet been sold.  The incurred cost comprises construction costs (materials, own or outsourced labor, and other related items), and legal expenses relating to the acquisition of land and projects, land costs, and financial charges on the venture incurred over the construction period.

2.2.7.     Properties for sale --Continued

 

The classification of land between current and non-current assets is made by Management based on the expected period for launching real estate ventures. Management periodically revises the estimates of real estate ventures launches.

 

2.2.8.     Prepaid expenses

 

These are recognized in profit or loss as incurred using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

2.2.9.     Land available for sale

 

Land available for sale is measured at the lower of the carrying value and the fair value less costs to sell, and is classified as held for sale if its carrying value is to be recovered through a sale transaction of the land. This condition is considered fulfilled only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset is available for immediate sale under its current condition. Management shall commit to sell it within one year of the classification date.

 

2.2.10.   Investments in ownership interests

 

Investments in ownership interest are recorded in the Company balance using the equity method.

 

When the Company's equity in the losses of investees is equal to or higher than the amount invested, the Company recognizes the residual portion in net capital deficiency since it assumes obligations and makes payments on behalf of these companies. For this purpose, the Company recognizes a provision at an amount considered appropriate to meet the obligations of the investee (Note 9).

 

2.2.11.   Property and equipment

 

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and/or any accumulated impairment losses, if applicable.

 

An item of property and equipment is derecognized when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition.

 

Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method considering the estimated useful lives of the assets (Note 10).

Expenditures incurred in the construction of sales stands, display apartments and related furnishings are included in property and equipment of the Company and its subsidiaries. Depreciation of these assets commences upon launch of the development and is recorded over the term the stand is in use, and is written-off when it is retired.

 

Property and equipment are subject to periodic assessments of impairment.

 

2.2.12.   Intangible assets

 

(i)       Expenditures related to the acquisition and implementation of computer systems and software licenses are recorded at acquisition cost, and amortized on straight-line basis over a period of up to five years, and are subject to periodic assessments of impairment of assets.

 

(ii)      The Company’s investments in subsidiaries include goodwill when the acquisition cost exceeds the market value of net assets of the acquiree.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill is performed at least annually, or whenever circumstances indicate an impairment loss.

 

2.2.13.   Payables for purchase of properties and advances from customer

 

Payables for purchase of properties are recognized at the amounts corresponding to the contractual obligations assumed. Subsequently they are measured at amortized cost, plus, when applicable, interest and charges proportional to the incurred period (“pro rata” basis), net of present value adjustment.

 

The obligations related to barter transactions of land in exchange for real estate units are stated at fair value of the units to be delivered.

 

2.2.14.   Income tax and social contribution on net income

 

(i)       Current income tax and social contribution

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable/to be offset in relation to taxable profit for the year.

Income taxes in Brazil comprise income tax (25%) and social contribution on net income (9%), for entities on the standard profit regime, for which the composite statutory rate is 34%. Deferred taxes for these entities are recognized on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying values.

2.2.14.   Income tax and social contribution on net income --Continued

 

(i)       Current income tax and social contribution --Continued

 

As permitted by tax legislation, certain subsidiaries opted for the presumed profit regime, a method under which the taxable profit is calculated as a percentage of gross sales. For these companies, the income tax is calculated on estimated profits at rate of 8% and 12% of gross revenues, respectively, on which the rates of the respective tax and contribution are levied.

 

As permitted by legislation, the development of certain ventures are subject to the “afetação” regime, based on which the land and its features where a real estate will be developed, as well as other binding assets, rights and obligations, are separated from the developer’s assets, and comprise the “patrimônio de afetação” (detached assets), intended for the completion of the corresponding development, and delivery of real estate units to the respective buyers. In addition, certain subsidiaries made the irrevocable option for the Special Taxation Regime (RET), according to which the income tax and social contribution are calculated at 1.92% on gross revenues (4% also considering PIS and COFINS on revenues).

 

(ii)      Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

Deferred taxes are recognized in relation to tax losses and temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes.

 

They are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used for offsetting deferred tax assets, based on profit projections made using internal assumptions, and considering future economic scenarios that make it possible their full or partial use, upon the recognition of a provision for the non-realization of the balance. The recognized amounts are periodically reviewed, and the impacts of realization or settlement are reflected in compliance with tax legislation provisions.

 

Deferred tax on accumulated tax losses does not have an expiration date, however, they can only be offset against up to 30% of the taxable profit for each year. Companies that opt for the presumed profit tax regime cannot offset tax losses for a period in subsequent years.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are stated at net amount in the statement of financial position when there is the legal right and intention to offset them when determining the current taxes, related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

2.2.15.   Other current and non-current liabilities

 

These liabilities are stated at their known or estimated amounts, plus, when applicable, adjustment for charges and inflation-indexed variations through the reporting date of the statement of financial position, which contra-entry is recorded in profit or loss. When applicable, current and non-current liabilities are recorded at present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction.

 

2.2.16.   Stock option plans

 

As approved by its Board of Directors, the Company offers executives and employees share-based compensation plans (stock options), as payments for services received.

 

The fair value of options is determined on the grant date, considering that it is recognized as expense in profit or loss (as contra-entry to equity), to the extent services are provided by employees and management members.

 

In an equity-settled transaction, in which the plan is modified, a minimum expense is recognized corresponding to the expense as if the terms had not been changed. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of granted options, or that otherwise benefits the employee, measured on the modification date.

 

In case of cancellation of a stock option plan, this is treated as if it had been granted on the cancellation date, and any unrecognized plan expense is immediately recognized. However, if a new plan substitutes the cancelled plan, and a substitute plan is designated on the grant date, the cancelled plan and the new plan are treated as if they were a modification of the original plan, as previously mentioned.

 

The Company annually revises its estimates of the amount of options that shall be vested, considering the vesting conditions not related to the market and the conditions based on length of service. The Company recognizes the impact of the revision of the initial estimates, if any, in the statement of profit or loss, as contra-entry to equity.

 

2.2.17.   Share-based payment – Phantom Shares

 

            The Company has a cash-settled share-based payment plan (phantom shares) under fixed terms and conditions. There is no expectation of the effective negotiation of shares, once there shall be no issue and/or delivery of shares for settling the plan.

              According to CPC 10 (R1) – Share-based Payment, these amounts are recorded as a reserve payable, with contra-entry in profit or loss for the year, based on the fair value of the phantom shares granted, and during the vesting period. The fair value of this liability is remeasured and adjusted every reporting period, according to the change in the fair value of the benefit granted and vesting.

 

2.2.18.   Other employee benefits

 

The salaries and benefits granted to the Company’s employees and executives include fixed compensation (salaries, social security contributions (INSS), Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees (FGTS), vacation pay, and 13th monthly salary, among other) and variable compensation such as profit sharing, bonus, and stock option-based payments. These benefits are recorded in profit or loss for the year, under the account “General and administrative expenses”, as they are incurred.

 

The bonus system operates with individual and corporate targets, structured based on the efficiency of corporate goals, followed by the business goals and, finally, individual goals.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries do not offer private pension or retirement plans.

 

2.2.19.   Present value adjustment – assets and liabilities

 

Assets and liabilities arising from long or short-term transactions are adjusted to present value if significant.

 

In installment sales of units not completed, real estate development entities present receivables adjusted for inflation, including the installment related to the delivery of units, without accrual of interest, and shall be discounted to present value, as the agreed inflation rates do not include interest.

 

Borrowing costs and those related to finance the construction of real estate ventures are capitalized. Therefore, the reversal of the present value adjustment of an obligation related to these items is included in the cost of real estate unit sold or in the inventories of properties for sale, as the case may be, until the period of construction of the project is completed.

 

Accordingly, certain assets and liabilities are adjusted to present value based on discount rates that reflect the best estimate of the time value of money.

The applied discount rate’s underlying economic basis and assumption is the average rate of the financing and loans obtained by the Company, net of the inflationary effect (Notes 5 and 12).

 

2.2.20.   Debenture and public offering costs

 

Transaction costs and premiums on issuance of securities are accounted for as a direct reduction in the amount raised by the Company and are amortized over the terms of the instrument and the net balance is classified as reduction in the respective transaction (Note 13).

 

2.2.21.   Borrowing costs

 

The borrowing costs directly attributable to ventures during construction phase, and to land during the development of assets for sale are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset during the construction period, since there is borrowing outstanding, which is recognized in profit or loss to the extent units are sold. All other borrowing costs are recorded as expense when incurred. Borrowing costs comprise interest and other related costs incurred, including those for raising finance.

 

Charges that are not recognized in profit or loss of subsidiaries are recorded in the financial statements of the Company, in the account investments in non-current assets (Note 9).

 

2.2.22.   Provisions

 

 (i)    Provision for penalties due to delay in construction work

 

As contractually provided, the Company has the practice of provisioning the charges payable to eligible customers for projects whose delivery is delayed over 180 days, in line with the respective contractual clause and history of payments.

For companies under the taxable profit regime, levied on non-cumulative basis, the PIS and COFINS contribution rates are levied at 1.65% and 7.6%, respectively, on gross revenue and discounting certain credits determined based on incurred costs and expenses. For companies that opt for the presumed profit taxation regime, under the cumulative taxation regime, the PIS and COFINS contribution rates are levied at 0.65% and 3%, respectively, on gross revenue, without discounts of credits in relation to incurred costs and expenses.

 

2.2.24.   Treasury shares

 

Own equity instruments that are repurchased (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and charged to equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the statement of profit or loss upon purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

 

2.2.25.   Interest on equity and dividends

 

The proposal for distributing dividends and interest on equity made by Management that is in the portion equivalent to the minimum mandatory dividend is recorded as current liabilities in the heading “Dividends payable”, as it is considered a legal obligation provided for in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

 

2.2.26.   Earnings (loss) per share – basic and diluted

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available (allocated) to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar manner, except that the shares outstanding are increased, to include the additional shares that would be outstanding, in case the shares with dilutive potential attributable to stock option had been issued over the respective periods, using the weighted average price of shares.

2.2.27.   Non-current asset held for sale

 

The Company classifies a non-current asset as held for sale if its carrying value is recovered by sale transaction. In such case, the asset or group of assets held for sale shall be available for immediate sale on its current conditions, subject only to the terms  that are usual and common for sale of such assets held for sale. With this, the sale shall be highly probable.

 

For a sale to be highly probable, Management shall be committed to the plan to sell the asset, and shall have initiated an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan. In addition, the asset held for sale shall also be effectively marketed for sale at a sales price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Also, the sale is expected to be completed within one year of the classification date, unless events beyond the control of the Company change such period.

 

The asset held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying value and the fair value less cost to sell. In case the carrying value is higher than the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in statement of profit or loss for the year. Any reversal or gain will only be recorded within the limit of the recognized loss.

2.2.28.   Business combination

 

The business combination transactions are recognized using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured by the sum of the transferred consideration, measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquired entity. The acquisition directly related costs shall be recognized as expense when incurred.

 

In the acquisition of a business, Management evaluates the financial assets and liabilities assumed to classify and allocate them according to the contractual terms, the economic circumstances, and the pertinent conditions that exist at the acquisition date.

 

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the acquired net assets (identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, net). If the consideration is lower than the fair value of acquired net assets, the difference shall be recognized as gain in the statement of profit or loss. Gains from a bargain purchase are immediately recognized in profit or loss.

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any accumulated loss on recoverable amount. For purposes of testing the recoverable amount, the goodwill acquired in a business combination, from the acquisition date, shall be allocated to each of the cash-generating units of the Company that are expected to be benefitted from the combination synergies, regardless of the other assets or liabilities of the acquired entity that are attributed to such units.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company made a business combination transaction, related to the divestment of the associate Alphaville Urbanismo, and received shares in the investee with assets for developing the urban subdivision business.

Beginning on January 1st, 2019, the following standard is in effect:

 

(i)          IFRS 16 – Leases (CPC 06 (R2)) this standard replaces the previous lease standard, IAS 17/CPC 06 (R1) – Leases, and related interpretation, and establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, that is, the customer(lessees) and providers (lessors).  Lessees are required to recognize a lease liability reflecting the future lease payments and a “right-of-use assets” for practically all lease contracts, except certain short-term leases and contracts of low-value assets. For lessors, the criteria for recognition and measurement of leases in the financial statements are substantially maintained. This standard is effective from January 1st, 2019.

 

The impact of the first-time adoption on the opening balance as of January 1st, 2019 is as follows:

(ii)         The ICPC 22 – Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments deals with the recognition of income taxes in the cases in which the tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 (CPC 32) and does not apply to taxes out of the scope of IAS 12 nor do specifically include the requirements related to the interest and fines associated with uncertain tax treatments. The interpretation did not have impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

The balance of accounts receivable from units sold and not yet completed is not fully reflected in the financial statements. Its recording is limited to the portion of the recognized revenues net of the amounts already received, according to the accounting practice mentioned in Note2.2.2(i)(b).

 

As of December 31, 2019, the amount received from customers in excess of the recognized revenues totaled R$1,540 (R$9,337 in 2018) in the Company’s statements, and R$14,197 (R$12,069 in 2018) in the consolidated statements, and are classified in the heading “Payables for purchase of properties and advances from customers" (Note 17).

 

Accounts receivable from completed real estate units financed by the Company are in general subject to IGP-M variation plus annual interest of 12%, with revenue being recorded in profit or loss in the account “Revenue from real estate development and sale, barter transactions and construction services".

 

The balances of allowance for expected credit losses are considered sufficient by the Company’s management to cover the estimate of future losses on realization of the accounts receivable.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses are summarized as follows:

According to Note 1, on December 27, 2019, the Company disclosed the completion of the divestment of its 21.20% interest in Alphaville. The total amount of the transaction is equivalent to R$100,000, settled by offsetting receivables amounting to R$33,500 and receipt of shares in the investee against assets amounting to R$66,500, measured at fair value.

 

According to the application of the definition of IFRS3/CPC 15 (R1) – Business combination, the transaction related to the acquisition of the control of SPE GDU Loteamentos Ltda. assigned by Alphavile to the urban subdivision business with the acquired assets, was classified as business combination.

 

As a result of this transaction, the Company made the allocation of the amount of R$39,886 in the line item “Properties for sale”, in the consolidated information and recognized the amount of R$16,592 as gain from bargain purchase.

 

The following table shows the determination of the acquisition cost determined according to CVM Resolution 665/11:

9.1 Business combination--Continued

 

        In line with CPC 15, the measurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based on fair value, defined using the appropriate methodology for each measured asset. The Company measured the assets considering the income approach and discounted cash flow. The process for determining the fair value involves the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates relating to cash flows, such as growth rate of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investment and future working capital, and discount rates. The assumptions relating to projections of growth, cash flow and future cash flows are based on the entity’s business plan, approved by the Management, as well as on comparable market data, and represent the Management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will prevail during the entity’s economic life, group of assets that provides the generation of cash flows. The future cash flows were discounted based on the rate representative of the cost of capital. The evaluation of the value in use is made for a twenty two-year period, consistently with economic valuation techniques. The main assumptions used in the estimate of value in use are the following: (a) revenue – revenues were projected for the period between 2020 and 2041, considering projection of launches and growth in sales, construction progress and client base, including the inflation adjustments to trade accounts receivable and provided services; (b) operating costs and expenses – costs and expenses were projected in line with the market performance, as well as the historical growth of revenue; (c) discount rate of 9.90% in nominal terms, and (d) going concern assumption, in line of the entity’s business plan. The key assumptions were based on the de market performance of business units, and on reasonable macroeconomic assumptions, and supported by the financial market projections.

(i)          As of December 31, 2019, the provisions related to civil lawsuits include R$5,397 (R$21,274 in 2018) related to lawsuits in which the Company is included in the defendant side to be liable for in and out of court debts which original debtor is a former shareholder of the Company, Cimob Companhia Imobiliária (“Cimob”), or involve other companies of the same economic group of Cimob. In these lawsuits, the plaintiff argues that the Company should be liable for Cimob’s debts, because in its understanding the requirements for piercing of the corporate veil of Cimob to reach the Company (business succession, merger of assets and/or formation of a same economic group involving the Company and the Cimob Group) are present.

 

The Company does not agree with the statement of facts based on which it has been included in these lawsuits and continues to dispute in court its liability for the debts of a third company, as well as the amount charged by the plaintiffs. The Company has already obtained favorable and unfavorable decisions in relation to this matter, reason why it is not possible to estimate a uniform outcome in all lawsuits. The Company also aims by filing a lawsuit against Cimob and its former and current parent companies for obtaining the recognition that it should not be liable for the debts of that company, as well as indemnity of the amounts already paid by the Company in lawsuits relating to the charge of debts owed by Cimob.

(ii)     Environmental risk

 

Considering the diversity of environmental legislation in the federal, state and municipal levels, which may restrict or impede the development of real estate ventures, the Company analyzes all environmental risks, including the possible existence of hazardous or toxic materials, residues, vegetation and proximity of the land to permanent preservation areas, in order to mitigate risks in the development of ventures, during the process of land acquisition for future ventures.

 

In addition, the environmental legislation establishes criminal, civil and administrative sanctions to individuals and legal entities for activities considered as environmental infringements or offense. The penalties include the stop of development activities, loss of tax benefits, confinement and fines. The lawsuits in dispute by the Company in civil court are considered by the legal counsel as possible loss in the amount of R$829 in the Company’s statements and in the consolidated statements (R$18,324 in the Company’s statements and in the consolidated statements in 2018).

 

(iii)    The Company requested an Arbitration Procedure to the Center for Arbitration and Mediation of the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada, on July 31, 2018,  against Yogo Participações e Empreendimentos Imobiliários S.A. (“Yogo”); Polo Real Estate Fundo de Investimentos e Participações, and Polo Capital Real Estate Gestão de Recursos Ltda. as shareholders of Yogo; and Comasa – Construtora Almeida de Martins Ltda., in view of the breach of contractual obligations. As of December 31, 2019, the arbitration is in initial stage, no decision being awarded yet. 

 

(iv)    Lawsuits in which likelihood of loss is rated as possible

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries are aware of other claims, and civil, labor and tax risks. Based on the history of probable lawsuits and the specific analysis of main claims, the measurement of the claims with likelihood of loss considered possible amounted to R$563,239 (R$318,322 in 2018) in the Company’s statements and R$565,410 (R$319,902 in 2018) in the consolidated statements, based on average past outcomes adjusted to current estimates, for which the Company’s Management believes it is not necessary to recognize a provision for any losses. The change in the period was caused by change in the volume of lawsuits with diluted amounts, and review of the involved amounts.

20. Financial instruments

 

The Company and its subsidiaries engage in operations involving financial instruments. These instruments are managed through operational strategies and internal controls aimed at providing liquidity, return and safety. The use of financial instruments for hedging purposes is achieved through a periodical analysis of exposure to the risk that the management intends to cover (exchange, interest rate, etc.) which is submitted to the corresponding Management bodies for approval and performance of the proposed strategy. The control policy consists of ongoing monitoring of the contracted conditions in relation to the prevailing market conditions. The Company and its subsidiaries do not use derivatives or any other risky assets for speculative purposes. The result from these operations is consistent with the policies and strategies devised by the Company’s Management. The Company and its subsidiaries operations are subject to the risk factors described below:

 

 (i)    Risk considerations

 

a)     Credit risk

 

The Company and its subsidiaries restrict their exposure to credit risks associated with cash and cash equivalents, investing only in short-term securities of top tier financial institutions.

 

With regards to accounts receivable, the Company restricts its exposure to credit risks through sales to a broad base of customers and ongoing credit analysis. Additionally, there is no relevant history of losses due to the existence of secured guarantee, represented by real estate unit, for the recovery of its products in the cases of default during the construction period. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no significant credit risk concentration associated with customers.

 

b)     Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company does not have derivative instruments to mitigate the risk arising from its exposure to index and interest volatility recognized at their fair value in profit or loss for the year.

(i)     Risk considerations--Continued

       

b)     Derivative financial instruments --Continued

 

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2018, in the context of the treasury share repurchase program (Note 18.1), the Company used derivative financial instruments, through forward contracts, to make transactions with shares traded in the market, which were settled in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

        The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments purchased by the Company was determined based on information available in the market and specific valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment was necessary for interpreting market data to produce the estimated fair value of each transaction, which may vary upon the financial settlement of transactions.

 

c)     Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that the Company and its subsidiaries may experience gains or losses arising from fluctuations in the interest rates of its financial assets and liabilities. Aiming to mitigate this kind of risk, the Company and its subsidiaries seek to diversify funding in terms of fixed and floating rates. The interest rates on loans, financing and debentures are disclosed in Notes 12 and 13. The interest rates contracted on financial investments are disclosed in Note 4. Accounts receivable from completed real estate units (Note 5) are subject to annual interest rate of 12%, recognized on a pro rata basis.

 

d)     Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Company and its subsidiaries do not have sufficient funds to meet their commitments in view of the settlement terms of its rights and obligations.

 

To mitigate liquidity risks, and to optimize the weighted average cost of capital, the Company and its subsidiaries monitor on an on-going basis the indebtedness levels according to the market standards, and the fulfillment of covenants provided for in loan, financing and debenture agreements, in order to guarantee that the operating-cash generation and the advance funding, when necessary, are sufficient to meet the schedule of commitments, appropriately mitigating liquidity risk to the Company or its subsidiaries (Notes 12 and 13).

Fair value classification

 

The Company uses the following classification to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by the valuation technique o:

 

Level 1: quoted prices (without adjustments) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: inputs other than the quoted market prices within Level 1 that are observable for asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

 

Level 3: inputs for asset or liability not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The classification level of fair value for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

a)     Fair value measurement

 

The following estimated fair values were determined using available market information and proper measurement methodologies. However, a considerable amount of judgment is necessary to interpret market information and estimate fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented in this document are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in the current market. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodology may have a significant effect on estimated fair values.

(ii)    Fair value of financial instruments--Continued

 

a)      Risk of debt acceleration

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has loans and financing contracts with restrictive covenants related to cash generation, indebtedness ratios, capitalization, debt coverage, maintenance of shareholding position, and others. The breach of such obligations by the Company may give rise to the acceleration of its debts and/or acceleration of other debts of the Company, including due to the performance of any cross default or cross acceleration clauses, which may negatively impact the profit or loss of the Company and the value of its shares.

These restrictive covenants have been complied with by the Company and do not limit its ability to conduct its business as usual.

 

 (iii)  Capital stock management

 

The objective of the Company’s capital stock management is to guarantee the maintenance of a strong credit rating in institutions and an optimum capital ratio, in order to support the Company’s business and maximize value to shareholders.

 

The Company controls its capital structure by making adjustments and adapting to current economic conditions. In order to maintain its structure adjusted, the Company may pay dividends, return on capital to shareholders, take out new loans and issue debentures, among others.

 

There were no changes in objectives, policies or procedures during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Company included in its net debt structure: loans and financing, debentures, obligations assumed on assignment of receivables, and payables to venture partners less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments):

 (iv)  Sensitivity analysis

 

The sensitivity analysis of financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 describes the risks that may give rise to material changes in the Company’s profit or loss, as provided for by CVM, through Rule 475/08, in order to show a 10%, 25% and 50% increase/decrease in the risk variable considered.

 

As of December 31, 2019, besides the derivative instruments, the Company has the following financial instruments:

 

a)   Short-term investments, loans and financing and debentures linked to the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI);

b)   Loans and financing linked to the Referential Rate (TR) and CDI, and debentures linked to the CDI and Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA);

c)   Accounts receivable and payable for purchase of properties, linked to the National Civil Construction Index (INCC) and General Market Price Index (IGP-M).

 

For the sensitivity analysis in the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company considered the interest rates of investments, loans and accounts receivable, the CDI rate at 5.96%, TR at 0%, INCC at 4.15%, IPCA at 4.31% and IGP-M at 7.32%. The scenarios considered were as follows:

 

Scenario I - Probable: 10% increase/decrease in the risk variables used for pricing

Scenario II - Possible: 25% increase/decrease in the risk variables used for pricing

Scenario III - Remote: 50% increase/decrease in the risk variables used for pricing

 

The Company shows in the following chart the sensitivity to risks to which the Company is exposed, taking into account that the possible effects would impact the future results, based on the exposures shown as of December 31, 2019. The effects on equity are basically the same of the profit or loss ones.

 (a)  The Company participates in the development of real estate ventures with other partners, directly or through related parties, based on the formation of condominiums and/or consortia. The management structure of these ventures and the cash management are centralized in the lead partner of the venture, which manages the construction schedule and budgets. Thus, the lead partner ensures that the investments of the necessary funds are made and allocated as planned. The sources and use of resources of the venture are reflected in these balances, observing the respective interest of each investor, which are not subject to indexation or financial charges and do not have a fixed maturity date. Such operations aim at simplifying business relations that demand the joint management of amounts reciprocally owed by the involved parties and, consequently, the control over the change of amounts reciprocally provided which offset against each other at the time the current account is closed. The average term for the development and completion of the ventures in which the resources are invested is between 24 and 30 months. The Company receives a compensation for the management of these ventures.

(b)   Refers to transactions between the lead partner of consortium, partners, and condominiums.

(c)   Refers to operations in third-party’s works.

(d)   The loans of the Company with its subsidiaries, shown below, are made to provide subsidiaries with cash to carry out their respective activities, subject to the respective agreed-upon financial charges. The businesses and operations with related parties are carried out strictly at arm’s length, in order to protect the interests of the both parties involved in the business.

      

The composition, nature and conditions of the balances of loans receivable and payable of the Company are as follows. Loans have maturity from January 2020 and are tied to the cash flows of the related ventures.

27. Earnings (loss) per share

 

In accordance with CPC 41, the Company is required to report basic and diluted losses per share. The comparison data of basic and diluted earnings/losses per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year, and all dilutive potential shares outstanding for each reported year, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the outstanding shares are increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares attributable to stock options and redeemable shares of noncontrolling interest had been issued during the respective periods, using the weighted average stock price.

 

The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings and losses per share. In view of the losses for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, shares with dilutive potential are not considered, because the impact would be antidilutive.

32. Events after the reporting date --Continued

 

(ii)     Coronavirus – COVID-19

Until the date of disclosure of the Financial Statements, there was no impact from the outbreak of coronavirus on the Company’s operations. A Crisis Management Committee has been created that holds daily meetings and total availability for discussing and taking important disease prevention measures.

Awareness campaigns to promote actions that mitigate transmission (frequent hygiene, distancing, meeting through virtual platforms, exclusive service channel, among others) have been created. We have preventatively determined that back-office personnel work remotely, providing all employees with the required infrastructure they are able to work from home and interact with the internal team and external staff. We have implemented a series of educative and preventative measures targeted at our construction site employees, reducing the staff considered to be in the risk group. The sales operations have focused on digital interactions with prospective customers.

The  Company  will keep following the implementation of the necessary actions with the Government Authorities, Ministry of Health, and trade associations.

Thus far, there is a high volatility in the Company’s stock price traded on the stock exchange as a result of the global concern for this pandemic and its developments.

Management understands that at present, the projections used in the analysis of realization of its assets shall not suffer significant changes in the face of this event, and keeps the adopted assumptions.

(iii)    Renegotiation of liabilities

On March 26, 2020, the Company disclosed a Material Fact whereby it informed that it has completed the renegotiation of its financial liabilities with the financial institution Banco do Brasil S.A. in the total amount of R$138,355. This transaction enables the Company to extend the final maturity of such debts until June 2025 and reduce the finance cost. Also in the scope of the renegotiation, the Company started to have the time required to sell the units in inventory tied to this transaction. The completion of this renegotiation strengthens the Company’s capital structure and represents the building of closer credit relationships in the financial market.
