MATERIAL FACT

São Paulo, October 20, 2014 – In compliance with CVM Instruction nº 358/2002, GAFISA S.A. ("Company") hereby informs its shareholders and the market, in accordance with the provisions of CVM Instruction nº 384/2003 and BOVESPA Resolution nº 293/2003, of the revision to its guidance ("Guidance") regarding launches for this year.

 

In line with our commitment to transparency, capital discipline and value generation to shareholders, the Company is lowering its guidance for 2014 expected launches for the Gafisa segment. Despite having projects already approved and ready for launch through the end of the year, the Company believes that, based on the continuing uncertainties of the current economic environment, these launches should be postponed to 2015. The launch guidance for the Gafisa segment has been lowered to R$1.1 to R$1.2 billion. During the first nine months of the year, the Gafisa segment already completed R$1.023 billion of launches, reaching 89.0% of the midpoint of the newly established guidance. Thus, throughout this last quarter of the year, given the lower launch volume compared to previous quarters, the Gafisa segment will redouble its focus on selling already launched developments/inventory. Tenda segment launch guidance remains unchanged at R$600 to R$800 million.

 

Due to the lower volume of launches now forecast for the Gafisa segment, the guidance for the ratio of Administrative Expenses to Launch Volumes, which was 7.5% for 2014, has been impacted. Despite the fact that projected administrative expenses for the year, and the basis for previous guidance, are within expectations, this guidance becomes not applicable for 2014.

 

Finally, Gafisa remains strongly committed to the recovery plan for its profitability level and focused on the generation of value for its shareholders.

 

The new amounts and guidance for 2014 are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Finally, it is worth highlighting that all the abovementioned assumptions are subject to change and involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond the Company’s control. Any changes in perception or in the abovementioned facts could mean that the results obtained may materially differ from the guidance. In that case, the guidance could be submitted to review.

 

São Paulo, October 20, 2014.
