The company achieved unprecedented revenue for a first quarter, driven primarily by the solid performance of its Defense &amp; Security and Commercial Aviation divisions, consolidating its profitability and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Quarter of Financial and Operational Milestones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first quarter of 2026 (1Q26), Embraer reached revenues of $1.4 billion, representing a 31% year-on-year increase. This historic result was supported by strong discipline in cost management and production efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company reported an adjusted EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) of $94 million. This equates to an operating margin of 6.5%, surpassing the 5.6% recorded in the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding net profitability, the figures showed some operational variations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Adjusted Net Income:<\/strong> Totaled $27.7 million, compared to $50 million in 1Q25.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Net Income Attributable to Shareholders:<\/strong> Stood at $33.4 million, compared to $73.4 million the previous year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS):<\/strong> Was $0.1856, compared to $0.3997 in the first quarter of 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/03\/finnair-renews-regional-fleet-orders-up-to-46-embraer-e195-e2-aircraft.html\">Finnair Renews Regional Fleet: Orders Up to 46 Embraer E195-E2 Aircraft<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Firm Commitment to Investment and Development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Embraer continued to accelerate its development and innovation programs. The company allocated $98.8 million to investments during the quarter, exceeding the $88.2 million reported in the same period of 2025. When including the resources injected into its urban air mobility subsidiary, Eve, total investment rose to $148.6 million, up from $124.5 million the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outstanding Performance by Business Units<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The company&#8217;s growth was widespread, with significant contributions from all operational areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Defense &amp; Security:<\/strong> This was the star division of the quarter, generating $227 million in revenue, representing a spectacular 63% year-on-year increase. This performance was driven by higher revenue recognition from the KC-390 military transport aircraft\u2014attributable to the customer mix and product phase\u2014as well as an increase in production rates for the A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft. The division&#8217;s gross margin jumped from 12.3% to 26.8% year-on-year, while its adjusted EBIT margin moved from negative territory at -1.6% to a solid 17% year-on-year, benefiting from positive extraordinary items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Commercial Aviation:<\/strong> Recorded a turnover of $293 million, a 45% year-on-year growth, driven by higher delivery volumes and an improved pricing strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Executive Jets:<\/strong> Reached revenues of $418 million, 30% higher than 1Q25, thanks to increased delivery volume and a more favorable product mix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Services &amp; Support:<\/strong> Led in total revenue volume with $490 million (a 15% year-on-year rise), supported by strong demand across all segments, especially in services associated with Defense &amp; Security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deliveries on the Rise and Backlog at Historic Highs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The production leveling plan implemented by the Brazilian manufacturer is yielding visible results. Embraer completed the delivery of 44 aircraft in the first quarter of 2026, representing a notable 47% increase compared to the 30 aircraft delivered in the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This operational pace is accompanied by unprecedented commercial backing. The company&#8217;s firm order backlog reached $32.1 billion, marking a 22% year-on-year increase. This milestone represents the sixth consecutive all-time record for Embraer&#8217;s backlog, guaranteeing a steady workflow for the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embraer&#8217;s historic performance at the start of 2026 confirms the effectiveness of its supply chain stabilization strategy and the strong global demand for its product portfolio, both civil and military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
