Embraer recorded a $101 million provision in its fourth quarter results related to the February 25 bankruptcy of Indianapolis-based Republic Airways, resulting in a fourth quarter profit that fell short of analysts’ estimates. Embraer’s commercial aviation business produced a 10.4 percent operating margin for the quarter, compared with a 13.4 percent margin excluding the Republic bankruptcy provision.
