Embraer, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, achieved its strongest first-quarter performance in company history, posting revenue of US$1.4 billion and a 31% year-over-year increase. The results reflect robust demand across its commercial aviation, executive jets, and defense segments.
Executives attributed the growth to higher deliveries of E-Jets and Phenom aircraft, alongside progress in defense contracts. Adjusted EBITA reached levels surpassing prior records, while the firm order backlog expanded, signaling sustained momentum.
Commercial aviation revenue climbed due to increased E175 and E195-E2 deliveries, with the executive segment benefiting from strong pre-owned jet sales. Defense and security units contributed through KC-390 production and service agreements.
The company maintained its full-year guidance, projecting continued delivery growth and positive cash flow. This quarter marks Embraers most successful Q1 since inception, amid a recovering global aviation market.
