Embraer continues to post record results, reporting an all-time high in second-quarter revenue of $2.2 billion, as well as reaching its largest-ever backlog of $34.5 billion, the Brazilian manufacturer reported this morning. Marking 23% year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth in the three-month period ending June 30, the results come off a first quarter where Embraer reported a 33% YOY revenue jump, to $1.4 billion.

At its executive aviation division, revenues climbed 32%, to $725 million, reflecting higher volumes and product mix, the company noted. The division delivered 45 business jets—24 Phenoms and 21 Praetors. This is up from the 21 Phenoms and 17 Praetors handed over a year earlier.
