FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - São Paulo, November 5th, 2009 – Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), Brazil’s leading diversified national homebuilder, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The financial statements were prepared and presented in accordance with Brazilian GAAP and in Brazilian Reais (R$). Only financial data derived from the Company’s accounting system were subject to review by the Company’s auditors. Operating and financial information not directly linked to the accounting system (i.e., launches, pre-sales, average sales price, land bank, PSV and others) or non-BR GAAP measures were not reviewed by the auditors. Additionally, financial statements and operating information consolidate the numbers for Gafisa and its subsidiaries, and refer to Gafisa’s stake (or participation) in its developments. The third quarter of 2008 has been adjusted in accordance with Law 11638, which brings accounting standards closer to the IFRS, for comparison purposes to the third quarter of 2009.

Commenting on the third quarter highlights, Wilson Amaral, CEO of Gafisa, said: “The gradual recovery in the economic climate and real estate market during the quarter supported the Company’s strong sales and net revenue performance that positively impacted the Company’s adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.4%, a 140 basis point increase when compared to the previous quarter. This improvement also reflects Tenda’s leadership and capacity to innovate in the affordable housing segment as it both doubled its quarterly pre-sales as compared to the prior year.

Amaral added, “Through the third quarter of 2009, we proceeded conservatively by prioritizing the sales of inventory and the conservation of cash while we consolidated our scalable operating platform which is able to meet the housing needs of Brazilians through leading industry brands in each segment. We are now poised to accelerate launches in the fourth quarter in all of our companies. We expect total launches to be two times higher than the 3Q09 figure and have already picked up the pace of launches in October which reached R$367 million. Based on our expectations for an active fourth quarter and the performance already achieved through the 3Q08, we reaffirm the guidance for 2009 with consolidated sales in the range of R$2.7 to R$3.2 billion.”

CEO Commentary and Corporate Highlights for 3Q2009 

The outlook for homebuilders brightened considerably during the third quarter as investor optimism towards Brazil returned and public institutions, such as BNDES and Caixa Economica Federal (CAIXA), played an important role in accelerating the economic recovery and helping to avert a prolonged recession. Doubts about the availability of credit and the sustainability of demand from homebuyers that prevailed during the first part of the year have now largely dissipated and expectations for a sustained and robust growth cycle prevail. Brazil’s housing deficit remains very real and is estimated at 7 million families today with continued growth of 1.5 million new households per year. Supported by the expansion of real wages, a fall in unemployment rates, and improving consumer confidence, the homebuilding industry’s current challenge is to meet that demand quickly and efficiently. At Gafisa, we have put in place an operational platform that allows for scalability to meet demand, invested in human capital, optimized our balance sheet and consolidated our leading brands that serve a cross-segment of Brazil’s population, all to facilitate our growth plan. We have the infrastructure in place to significantly increase our launch capacity in the fourth quarter of the year and look forward to a strong 2010.

The operating environment is favorable and bodes well for all homebuilders. With three investment grade ratings now in place from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, a historically low Central Bank Selic rate at just 8.75%, and continued normalization of credit markets evidenced by the success of a number of recent equity and debt offerings, it appears that adequate levels of financing are available from an array of sources. At the same time, CAIXA has renewed its commitment to providing flexible and affordable financing by adding R$3 billion of FGTS funding for a total of R$6 billion for homebuilding. These funds are available to accelerate the construction process in order to achieve their goal of 1 million affordable entry-level homes by 2010. In addition to TENDA’s R$600 million debenture issued under this program earlier in the year, Gafisa expects to close a debenture in the amount of up to R$600 million for financing of units up to R$500,000 throughout the country.

With respect to mortgage availability and affordability, we are seeing very positive signs of renewed capacity from both the commercial banks as well as CAIXA and Banco do Brasil. And, this will benefit many Brazilians as we see an increased pace of overall labor hiring. The Labor Ministry expects the pace of hiring to increase in the fourth quarter after over 253,000 new jobs were created in September 2009, the fastest pace in over a year. Terms and conditions continue to improve for Brazilians acquiring middle and upper segment housing with 30 year mortgages and rates as low as TR + 8% currently available. The pool of funds available for unsubsidized mortgages grew in September due to the all time high savings topping R$4 billion, 65% of which must be used by commercial banks to fund mortgages. As well, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the affordable entry-level segment received a boost with the government’s announcement of a significant expansion in the number of cities eligible to receive subsidies and raising the unit price caps for most cities. This is expected to result in providing access to an additional 39 million more inhabitants across the country to first time homes. For 2010, we expect additional funding of R$ 7 billion to be committed to the MCMV program based on the Planning Ministry’s proposal which is included in the Congressional budget for next year.

At Gafisa, we have spent the last four years building a solid platform to serve the diverse housing needs of Brazil’s families. TENDA, which has spent much of the year restructuring and optimizing operations, putting a solid funding capacity in place, solidifying relationships with CAIXA, and launching innovative products for its market is poised to capture the enormous opportunity at the lower end of the market. Alphaville and Gafisa, which through the first half of 2009 operated conservatively given the global financial crisis, are now geared up to accelerate launches for the fourth quarter to meet the renewed demand of the mid and upper end segments representing a market potential of R$100 billion per year. With the World Cup to be held in Brazil and the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, there will be very sizeable investments in infrastructure. We expect to benefit from our strong position in all segments and leverage our strong land bank and network of relationships in that state going forward.

On October 22th we announced our intention to fully incorporate Tenda, which will provide reductions in costs and SG&A expenses, among other benefits to the combined companies, adding value for both Gafisa’s and Tenda’s shareholders. According to the preliminary timeline, we expect to have the final approval by the end of the year. Based on our strategy and the Company’s developments, we believe that we are well-positioned to continue to fund future growth. On a consolidated basis we ended the quarter with $1.1 billion in cash and our financing capacity could soon increase with the issuance of a debenture from CAIXA of up to R$600 million.

In summary, we are very optimistic about the opportunities in our sector and for Brazil overall. Gafisa’s geographic and segment diversification strategies give it flexibility in execution, as does our investment in human talent which includes over 450 engineers in training and another 250 in the field managing over 250 projects throughout the country. Our combination of agility and scale, backed by a solid balance sheet, large land reserves, and a commitment to human talent will ensure the Company’s ability to continue to grow and deliver high returns for our shareholders, while also helping to bridge the gap for needed housing in Brazil.

Recent Developments 

Strong Sales Performance of Mid/Mid-high Segments: Sales during the quarter continued to be driven by all segments of Gafisa’s product portfolio. In addition, Gafisa continues to experience strong sales of the mid/mid-high level products of Gafisa and Alphaville. Indicative of the demand recovery at the mid and higher end, were our third quarter launches in São Paulo and Salvador. Already 100% sold, the Magno project in São Paulo which was launched in September will accelerate the start of construction by two months. And, in Salvador, mid-level developments Acupe and Brotas, experienced an 85% sales rate within the first month and a sell-out on its first day of launch, respectively.

Affordable Entry-Level Segment: After a strong sales recovery during the second quarter, bolstered by the announcement and associated marketing of the government backed “Minha Casa Minha Vida” (“MCMV”) program to boost the construction and sales of affordable entry-level housing, TENDA was able to maintain a similarity brisk level of sales during the third quarter at R$358 million on 4.114 units of sales at an average price of approximately R$87 thousand. With the lowest price points in the industry, TENDA’s customers are able to benefit from the strong subsidies provided by the MCMV housing program. Additionally, an October 1st announcement by the government expanded the number of cities currently eligible to receive subsidies and raised the unit price caps for most cities resulting in a larger share of the population that will now be able to access subsidies to purchase their first homes. The announcement included additional geographic expansion beginning in January 2010 bringing to 14 the number of state capitals with a unit price cap to be raised to R$130,000. Currently the only three capitals eligible at that level are São Paulo, Rio and Brasilia. With a national presence and designation as a CAIXA Bank Representative in 6 regions, TENDA is well-positioned to leverage this expanded opportunity for growth.

TENDA and CAIXA: TENDA is currently certified as a banking representative in six major regions (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, Distrito Federal and Baixada Santista). Approximately 77% of Tenda’s Pre-Sales in the 3Q09 took place in these key regions. TENDA is in the process of expanding its certification as a bank representative in other regions where it currently operate to continue to facilitate a more efficient sales and financing process.

Diversified Geographies and Products: In December 2006, the Gafisa-brand, higher income product represented 100% of the Company’s revenues, pre-sales and launches and the Company was present in 10 states and 16 cities with a total of 70 developments. At the end of the third quarter 2009, a more diversified and balanced portfolio prevailed. Gafisa’s mid/mid-high products represent 38% of launches and 48% of pre-sales, while TENDA’s affordable offerings represent 56% of launches and 45% of pre-sales. The Company’s well-known brands are now present in 21 states.

Execution Capacity: During the quarter, Gafisa and its subsidiaries managed the construction of 250 projects in 100 cities. The national work force is bolstered by Gafisa’s focus on recruitment and high quality training. The Company currently has over 450 engineers in training and 250 in the field managing construction projects. The Company’s renowned management training program brings in up to 40 young leaders for 2010 to be deployed throughout the organization and its subsidiaries.

R$600 Million Debenture: On October 15th, 2009 Gafisa called for an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting to approve the issuance of a debenture from CAIXA in the amount of up to R$600 million to fund additional projects. Final terms are expected to be announced shortly. The debenture will act as a revolving line of credit, allowing Gafisa to fund up to 90% of the total project cost including land and construction costs of units up to R$500,000 in sales price. Financing terms will depend on the number of units priced up to R$130,000 with debenture proceeds to carry a rate of TR+8% and units of R$130,000 to R$500,000 with debenture proceeds to carry a rate of TR+10%. Projects will be utilized as a financing guarantee and the transaction is expected to be completed and start to fund during the fourth quarter. Gafisa is a beneficiary of the Government’s recently renewed commitment to funding the construction of affordable homes by doubling to R$6 billion the amount of FGTS funds available for use to finance home building.

Merger of All TENDA’s Shares: On October 22, the Company announced that it intends to merge all of its subsidiary CONSTRUTORA TENDA S.A.’s shares into Gafisa which currently controls 60% of TENDA. The transaction is expected to result in significant scale advantages and reductions in costs and SG&A expenses, among other benefits to the combined companies. An independent special committee of TENDA’s was formed to evaluate the transaction and Gafisa expects to present to its shareholders for approval the terms of the transaction by the end of 2009.

Sales Velocity 

In this quarter, Tenda’s sales velocity was affected by the reintroduction of 3,587 units that were previously blocked within the inventory. Such units and the associated projects were examined to determine compliance with Tenda’s minimum economic and financial performance standards. The PSV of these units was reevaluated to better reflect their market value and also adjusted by the INCC (The National Civil Construction Price Index) for the period. Tenda maintain approximately 3,500 units from projects and phases not available for sale out of the inventory, and will continue to do so until they are available for sale again through Tenda’s retail store network.

The consolidated company attained a sales velocity of 22.1% in the third quarter of 2009 following a velocity of 24% in the 2Q09. While Gafisa sales velocity increased as compared to the previous period, the overall company velocity is down mainly due to Tenda’s adjustment and fewer Alphaville launches during the quarter. Without Tenda’s impact the consolidated sales velocity would be 25%.

3Q09 - Revenues 

Due to solid sales performance from 3Q09 launched projects and inventories as well as the accelerated pace of construction, the Company was able to recognize substantial Net operating revenues for 3Q09 which rose by 131% to R$877.1 million from R$378.9 million in 3Q08, with Tenda contributing 29% of the consolidated revenues. Without Tenda’s participation, Gafisa’s quarterly operating revenues were R$622 million, an 89% increase over 3Q08.

Revenues for the industry are recognized based on actual cost versus total budgeted costs of land and construction (Percentage of Completion method or PoC method).

3Q09 - Gross Profits 

On a consolidated basis, Gafisa’s third quarter gross profit totaled R$255.2 million, an increase of 92% over 3Q08 and 33% over 2Q09, reflecting our continued growth and business expansion. The gross margin for 3Q09 reached 29.1% (31.6% w/o capitalized interest), 590 basis points lower than in 3Q08, mainly due to the SAP enterprise software implementation that reduced the recognition of construction costs in the 3Q08, subsequently adjusted in the 4Q08. When compared to the 2Q09, the gross margin was 200 basis points higher, mainly due to the improvement of margins at Gafisa/Alphaville.
Without the swap impact, gross margin would be 30.1% .

3Q09 – Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

Third quarter SG&A increased to R$113.2 million, mainly due to Tenda’s full consolidation and unique sales model, Gafisa’s expansion and business diversification strategy. As Tenda sales and revenues ramp up in the following quarters, its sales platform costs will be diluted and additionally, its fixed cost ratios improved. When compared to the 3Q08, the Consolidated Selling Expenses/Sales and also the G&A/Net revenue ratios improved, falling respectively by 60 and 140 basis points.

3Q09 – Other Operating Results 

In 3Q09, our results show a positive impact of R$12.6 million, net of provisions, being R$ 52.6 million from the gain related to the incorporation of our subsidiary Fit into Tenda that continued to be amortized over the construction of Fit developments at the time of the incorporation. This gain was partially offset by the provisions related to contingencies associated with a former shareholder of Gafisa, which accounted for R$ 37.8 million of the R$40.0 million in net other operating expenses.

3Q09 – Adjusted EBITDA 

We adjust our EBITDA for expenses associated with stock options plans, as it represents a non-cash expense. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter totaled R$179.1 million, 157% higher than the R$69.8 million for 3Q08, with a consolidated adjusted margin of 20.4%, an increase of 200 basis points from 3Q08. Looking strictly at Gafisa’s business (Gafisa and Alphaville), the adjusted EBITDA margin reached was to 22.8%, while Tenda’s improved to 14.5% .

Note 2: EBITDA Margin without the negative goodwill amortization (net of provisions) from Tenda is 18.7% for the 3Q09 and 16.6% for the 9M09 

3Q09 - Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization in 3Q09 was R$9.8 million, a decline from the R$11.4 million in 3Q08. The Company no longer amortizes goodwill because of a new accounting rule that requires the assessment of such assets on a yearly basis to determine a reserve for impairment.

3Q09 - Financial Results 

Net financial expenses totaled R$31.0 million in 3Q09, compared to a net financial revenue of R$3.4 million in the 3Q08 and a net expense of R$12.7 in the 2Q09. The increase in the 3Q09 was mainly due the higher net debt position, lower interest capitalization and higher spread between the interest paid and received.

Page 12 of 25 


3Q09 - Taxes 

Income taxes, social contribution and deferred taxes for 3Q09 amounted to R$28.0 million compared to R$17.9 million in 3Q08. The effective tax rate was 25% in 3Q09 and 37% in 3Q08, when the accounting of land for product swaps was introduced.

3Q09 - Adjusted Net Income 

Net income in 3Q09 was R$63.7 million. However, if we consider the adjusted net income (before deduction of expenses related to minority shareholders and stock options) this figure reached R$88.6 million, representing a growth of R$ 51.0 million as compared to the R$37.6 million in the 3Q08 and an adjusted net margin of 10.1% .

3Q09 - Earnings per Share 

Earnings per share were R$0.49 in 3Q09 compared to R$0.11 3Q08, a 338% increase. Shares outstanding at the end of the period were 130.5 million in 3Q09 and 130.0 million in 3Q08.

Backlog of Revenues and Results 

The backlog of results to be recognized under the PoC method reached R$1.0 billion in 3Q09 from R$1.1 billion in 2Q09. Tenda’s backlog of results to be recognized comprises 40% of the consolidated amount. The consolidated margin in 3Q09 was 35.0%, reflecting a margin of 36.7% from Gafisa and 32.6% from the Tenda business. Tenda’s margin was adjusted with additional costs and provisions in specific projects booked in the 3Q09 to better reflect its future margins.

Inventory (Properties for Sale)

Our inventory, which includes land, developments in progress and finished units, reached R$1.76 billion in 3Q09, a decline of 2% when compared to R$1.79 billion registered in 2Q09. Inventory reduction was mainly driven by our solid sales performance in this quarter. The higher inventory totals for projects that are less than 30% completed partly reflects an uptick in development activity since signs of economic recovery began to emerge toward the end of 2Q09.

As of September 30, 2009, 74% of the debt was in the long term and our net debt and obligation to investors to equity and minorities ratio was 74.1% compared to 65.6% in 2Q09. Our cash burn rate increased in the quarter, by 121% from R$111 million in 2Q09 to R$246 million in 3Q09. The increase reflects the resumption of a higher pace of construction in the third quarter and also the fact that in 2Q09 the company completed a R$70 million securitization transaction that offset the use of cash by that amount.

We currently have a total of R$3.5 billion in construction finance lines of credit provided by all of the major banks in Brazil. At this time we have R$2.1 billion in signed contracts and R$284 million in contracts in process, giving us additional availability of R$ 1.1 billion. We do not have exposure to foreign currency through financial instruments. We have R$100 million of debt raised by banks in foreign currency, which were swapped into CDI.

The following tables set forth information on our indebtedness as of September 30, 2009.

Tenda Incorporation 

On October 22nd, we announced our intention to incorporate the remaining 40% of Tenda’s outstanding shares. Among the benefits for the shareholders of both companies we can highlight: scale gains; increase in operational, commercial and administrative efficiency; optimization of consolidated balance sheet; streamlined administration and increased share liquidity.

In accordance with CVM Guidance 35, an independent committee was created to represent Tenda in the negotiation of the transaction terms with Gafisa’s Management. Based on historical prices, Gafisa’s Management believes that an adequate exchange ratio would be between 0.188 and 0.200 of a Gafisa share for each Tenda share.

If the parties achieve satisfactory negotiation terms, according to the anticipated schedule the Extraordinary General Shareholder Meetings to approve the deal could be held until the end of December.

Debentures 

On October 15th, 2009, Gafisa called for a General Shareholder meeting to be held on November 16th, 2009, to approve its seventh issuance of debentures by the Company. The debenture is to be non-convertible, issued in one single and indivisible lot with a floating guarantee and additional guarantees (related to the project to be financed), in an amount of up to R$600 million, with a maturity date within 5 years counted from the date of issuance. Registration is to be waived before the Brazilian securities commission.

Outlook 

Based on the Company’s strategy for the fourth quarter, Gafisa consolidated launches could be two times higher than the 3Q09 figure. Gafisa continues to expect consolidated sales for the full year 2009 of between R$2.7 and R$3.2 billion and consolidated EBITDA margin is expected to be in the range of 16% - 17% (without Tenda’s goodwill impact), while EBITDA margin for Tenda is expected to be between 14% - 16%.

Glossary

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PSV – Potential Sales Value.
