Embraer’s business jet division brought in $655 million in revenue in the third quarter, a 12% increase year over year (YOY), and helped push company-wide revenues to a third-quarter record of $2.3 billion, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer reported this morning. The company subsequently raised its revenue guidance for the year to $8.4 billion to $8.6 billion, up from the original $8.2 billion to $8.5 billion.

Improved revenues at Embraer Executive Jets came even though deliveries in the quarter remained flat YOY at 41 aircraft. However, the mix was different, with one more midsize/super-midsize Praetors (19) and one fewer Phenom light jets (22).

With 115 business jets (62 Phenoms and 53 Praetors) delivered through the first nine months, Embraer reaffirmed its planned business jet delivery guidance of 160 to 170 units this year. It shipped 155 business jets in 2025.

The company credited the increased revenues to higher prices and a product mix that tilted slightly more toward the larger Praetor models. This drove a 22.2% gross margin for the quarter, up from 18.7% a year ago. Another factor, Embraer added, was that it did not face U.S. import tariffs, which cost the company $15 million a year ago.

While deliveries are on the rise for the year, so too is business jet backlog, which stood at $8.2 billion at the end of the quarter, up nearly $1 billion from a year ago.

While Embraer did not break out its services and support revenues by business lines, they jumped by 30%, to $638 million, in the quarter and boosted gross margin from 24.9% to 27% YOY.

Across all businesses, including commercial and defense, revenues increased 17% YOY, providing for an adjusted EBIT of $254.8 million and a 10.9% margin in the third quarter. Adjusted EBIT margin improved from 8.6% a year earlier. Even so, higher net financial expenses and tax expenses softened adjusted net income for the period to $73.6 million. This was down from $84.3 million in the same period last year.

Commercial aviation division revenues of $696 million for the quarter were up 13%, while the defense and security unit’s increased by 22% YOY, to $341 million.
