Embraer-Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica (NYSE:EMBJ) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.46 EPS

Embraer-Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica (NYSE:EMBJ) issued its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The aerospace company reported $0.41 earnings per share for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.87 by ($0.46), Zacks reports. Embraer-Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica had a return on equity of 12.55% and a net margin of 4.61%. The business had revenue of $2.33 billion during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from Embraer-Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica’s conference call:

• Embraer posted record third-quarter revenue of $2.35 billion and an eighth consecutive record backlog, reaching $35.7 billion, up 14% year over year. Backlogs grew across all four business units, with Defense & Security up 56%.
• The company raised 2026 revenue guidance to $8.4 billion–$8.6 billion and adjusted free cash flow guidance to $700 million or more, while keeping delivery and adjusted EBIT margin ranges unchanged. Quarterly adjusted free cash flow was $628 million, and Embraer ended the quarter in a net cash position.
• Executive Aviation and Services & Support delivered strong results: adjusted EBIT margins were 16% and 17%, respectively, and management sees room for further service-margin improvement toward 17%–18% by the end of the decade. Embraer also targets 200 executive-jet deliveries in 2028, supported by capacity investment.
• Fourth-quarter margin expansion may be limited by concentrated Commercial Aviation deliveries, lower-than-company-average commercial margins, and contract cost adjustments in Defense; management said Defense margins are unlikely to match the strong second- and third-quarter levels. Supply-chain issues have eased but persist for select components, including engines and fuselage parts.
