The Boom is Yet to Come

2. The IPO wave: Performance
Growth delivery = Performance. Most of the sector’s stocks tend to react to “growth-delivery” related
events. To anticipate companies with lower execution risks – those who will deliver, seems to be a winning
strategy.

4. The average apartment, now in the right direction…
At first, capitalized companies took advantage of financial strength to launch apartments to segments
where demand and credit were already in place in 2006. By the end of the year, attention has shifted
to lower income segments.

5. Sector Drivers: Credit
Upgrade trend: As credit became more affordable for higher income classes, families started to partially finance
the difference between their existing home and a new / improved one.

The answer: Pent up demand for upgrades created most of the growth opportunities for real
estate developers in Brazil since 2004.

6. Sector Drivers: Credit
Affordable credit: Brazil’s real estate “booster”.
Low-income housing: besides interest and maturity, the loan-to-value ratio seems to be the biggest entry
barrier. However, 100% loan-to-value deals for low-income should be materializing earlier than previously
expected.

7. Risk of an Oversupply in São Paulo? We disagree.
São Paulo’s market is able to absorb the growth in launchings. Coupling data on real interest rates and
residential units launched in São Paulo over the years give us a sense that the market is currently well below its
absorption capacity.
Additionally, data on 2007 launchings PSV in São Paulo shows that while the market grew 28.5% yoy, capitalized
players grew 73.7% vs. 2006.
In absolute terms, 50% of the growth in the market came from capitalized players. The bottom line is that
capitalized players gained market share, as the overall market did not grow at the same pace these players did.

8. The next wave: Consolidation
Diversify and consolidate. After capitalizing and expanding geographically, major companies have potential to
grow inorganically buying out some of the roughly 500 developers all over Brazil. São Paulo alone is known for
having more than 300 active companies.
Consolidation targets. Smaller, less capitalized companies, having considerable land banks or
experienced/knowledgeable management or operating with complementary products.
JV’s make it easier to happen. The JV model under which companies worked towards diversification facilitates
this process, as companies get to know closely its partners’ modus operandi
