Embraer reported record first-quarter revenue of $1.4 billion for 2026, a 31% increase from $1.1 billion in the same period of 2025. The company attributed the growth to strong performances in its Defense and Security and Commercial Aviation segments.
Defense and Security revenue reached $227 million, up 63% year over year, driven by higher KC-390 revenue recognition from customer mix and product stage, along with increased production rates of the A-29 Super Tucano. Commercial Aviation revenue climbed to $293 million, reflecting higher volumes and pricing, with deliveries 43% above the prior year. Executive Jets contributed $418 million, a 30% rise fueled by greater volumes and product mix.
Adjusted EBIT rose 52% to $94 million from $62 million a year earlier. The firm order backlog expanded to $32.1 billion, up 22% year over year and marking the sixth consecutive record high. Commercial Aviation’s backlog grew 50% to $15 billion, supported by Finnair’s order for up to 46 E195-E2 aircraft, including 18 firm units.
