MCMV - Level 1	Low-income projects under construction contracts regarding the Minha Casa Minha Vida Housing Program, contracted directly with the Financing Agent, for families with monthly income of up to R$ 1,800.00. The properties of this segment have the final price determined by the Financing Agent, under Ordinance 435/2012 of the Ministry of Cities, and their purchase may be conditionally subsidized by the government.
MCMV 2 and 3	Residential developments with cap price of up to R$ 300.0 thousand per unit, included in Levels 2 and 3 of the MCMV Program. Until 3T15, projects of this profile have been called "Popular".
Middle income	Residential developments with average price ranging from R$ 300.0 thousand to R$ 500.0 thousand per unit.
Upper-middle income	Residential developments with average price of more than R$ 500.0 thousand per unit.

Swap - a system of land purchase whereby the owner of land receives in payment a determined number of units of the undertaking to be built on the land.

Contracted Sales - PSV arising from all real estate sales contracts concluded in a given period, including the sale of Units launched in the period and the sale of Units in Inventory.

PSV - Potential Sales Value (PSV) - The total value potentially obtained by the sale of all Units of a given residential development at the launch price. There is a possibility that the PSV launched is not realized or differs significantly from the Contracted Sales value, since the amount of Units effectively sold may be different from the amount of Units Launched and/or the actual selling price of each Unit may differ from the launch price.

PSV Launched: Potential Sales Value (PSV) of Units Launched over a given period.
