EMBJ’s Segmental Details

Executive Aviation: This segment recorded revenues worth $583 million, up 4% year over year. However, the gross margin decreased from 23.4% to 18.7% a year ago because of product mix, U.S. import tariffs and higher costs. 

Defense & Security: This unit generated revenues of $278 million, which improved 27% year over year. The upside was due to higher KC-390 volumes and a one-off positive contract-related adjustment.

Commercial Aviation: This segment recorded revenues worth $618 million, up 31% year over year. This was due to better product mix and higher volumes and prices.

Services & Support: This segment recorded revenues worth $493 million, up 16% year over year, driven by higher volumes across all segments, particularly in Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and the ramp-up of the OGMA GTF engine shop.

Others: This segment includes ERJ’s Agricultural Aviation, cyber division Tempest and other businesses. Revenues for this segment amounted to $32 million, up 150% year over year. This upside was driven by the inclusion of the reclassified landing gear division in early 2025.
