Embraer Reports Record Order Growth and Revenue Surge in Q2 2024

Embraer, a leading aircraft manufacturer in Brazil, achieved a 20% increase in its order backlog for Q2 2024, reaching $21.1 billion.

This marks the highest value for this period in seven years. Between In April and June, the company delivered 47 aircraft, up 88% from Q1, including 17 commercial and 30 executive jets.

Embraer’s adjusted net profit for Q2 2024 rose by 20%, reaching R$279.3 million ($50 million).

Revenue surged to R$6.3 billion ($1.13 billion), a 26% year-over-year increase and a 71% rise from the previous quarter.

The adjusted EBITDA was R$724.1 million ($130 million), showing a 16.5% annual increase.

Strong performance in commercial and executive aviation, with respective growth rates of 56% and 39% year-over-year, drove the aviation sector’s recovery.

Despite these gains, the Defense & Security segment experienced a 34% revenue decline due to delays in revenue recognition.

A notable achievement in Q2 was the delivery of the second C-390 Millennium cargo aircraft to the Portuguese Air Force. Portugal ordered five such aircraft in 2019, including a comprehensive service chain.

Upcoming deliveries to other European nations are expected to further expand this sector.
