14 November 2012 Americas/Brazil Equity Research Homebuilding Brazilian Homebuilders & Real Estate Brokers Research Analysts RESULTS Guilherme Rocha 55 11 3701 6321 [email protected] Smaller Players are the Winners Lia Carlos 55 11 3701 6308 Yesterday, five companies reported their 3Q12 results (Brookfield, Helbor, [email protected] Tecnisa, BR Brokers, and Lopes). Below we summarize our key conclusions Vanessa Quiroga, CFA and on the following pages provide more details on each company’s results. 52 55 5283 8939 [email protected] ■ Focus on cash generation: As we mentioned in our previous report, Eugenio Amador companies are holding off on launchings and focusing on selling inventory in 52 55 5283 8900 order to generate cash. Some companies are already succeeding, such as [email protected] Cyrela, Even, and Gafisa. Direcional almost broke even this quarter, as we Julian Bravo Lozano 52 55 5283 3821 expected. Nonetheless, other companies disappointed regarding cash [email protected] generation such as Tecnisa, Brookfield, and Helbor (despite good results overall). ■ Few exceptions: There were some exceptions, such as Helbor and Direcional, that continue their great performance. Other companies surprised positively, such as Even (with a better-than-expected gross margin) and Eztec (with the highest margin among peers). ■ Brokerage companies impacted: As expected, brokerage companies were affected by a lower level of launchings at HBs. Although Lopes’s results came in below our expectation, it was better in comparison to BBRK, probably due to greater client diversification.

At first glance, revenue declined 23% yoy, but in 3Q11 there was an impact of R$130mn from the sale of Giroflex. The company surprised us with a better gross margin: 420bps above our estimate (although it represented a compression of 280 yoy). Selling expenses came in 19.2% below our estimate and declined vs. 2Q12 due to a change in accounting procedures. As mentioned in our previous report, the company surprised us with (i) a qoq improvement in launchings and contracted sales and (ii) healthy speed of sales (SoS) of 20.2%. Even though we think that Brookfield is at risk of not reaching its guidance for launchings, the company believes it is still possible to meet the low point as they expect a huge volume of launchings to take place in 4Q12 (especially due to three large projects). It is worth highlighting that the guidance (revised after 2Q12) is R$3bn–R$3.5bn and the company had reached only 41.6% of the mid-point by 9M12. Finally, on the negative side, cash burn was 213% higher than our estimate, even higher than in 2Q12, driven especially by a R$215mn increase in construction financing (corporate debt remained practically flat). The company has a net debt-to-equity ratio of 121.4% and expects to use the proceeds from the R$400mn capital injection to reach 92.4%. The new level will still be on the high side vs. peers. Even though we see improvements, we are still concerned with the high leverage and the difficulty in generating cash.

Cash Burn 325 104 311 36 4.7% 815.9% 213.4% Cash burn was 213% higher Source: Company data, Credit Suisse estimates than our expectation. Helbor (HBOR3) In a nutshell, results were above our expectation. Top line was 9% above CSe, implying strong growth of 33.5% yoy. Gross margin also improved 250bps yoy and was 250 bps above CSe. SG&A and other expenses were above our estimate but increased less than revenue. Backlog margin was 36.5%, 180bps below 3Q11 and 80bps below 2Q12. On the negative side, cash burn came in higher than our expectation (that the company would be close to break-even this quarter). This cash burn was due to the payment of a debenture installment, the purchase of land, and the purchase of Certificate of Additional Construction Potential (CEPACs), as well as a lower volume of units delivered in 2Q12, which created a decline in pass-throughs in 3Q12 (lag of 60 to 90 days). Net financial result was better than our expectation due to an increase in financial revenue on the back of a monetary gain on construction contracts adjusted by the INCC index. Interest expenses also increased, but not enough to offset the increase in financial revenue. Net margin improved substantially (440bps yoy) and was 180bps above our expectation. Net income increased by almost 70% yoy and was ~20 above our expectation (driven by margin improvements).
