Analysis
Embraer S.A. delivered robust financial results for fiscal year 2025, achieving its guidance with record revenue and a significant increase in backlog across all business segments. The company's commercial and executive aviation divisions showed strong delivery growth, and defense sales expanded with new orders. The 2026 guidance projects continued growth in deliveries and revenue, with stable adjusted EBIT margins. However, the adjusted free cash flow guidance for 2026 is set at $200 million or higher, which represents a notable decrease from the $491 million achieved in 2025, indicating a potential shift in capital allocation or operational cash generation despite top-line growth.
