Yes, I mean, as I said, we saw improvements in the supply chain from 22 to 23, from 23 to 24, but it's still with challenges in a specific component that some are limiting our production this year and also because of the delays; they are delivering the parts, but not on time to help us with the production. And then we have to make adjustments in our production schedule, which affects our productivity.
Speaker Change: Hi, Gabriel Francisco speaking here.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Yes, I mean as I said we.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We see.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Improvements in there.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Our supply chain from.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We saw from 'twenty to 'twenty, two 'twenty three to 'twenty for quite a few weeks.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Challenges in this business the key components.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Some are really busy.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Production in the year.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Awesome.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Because they believe they are.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Delivering the parks, but not on time to help us with the production and then we have to make adjustments in our production schedule.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Effects.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Our productivity and.
Francisco Gomes Neto: In some cases, we can risk deliveries as well. But we made our plan for this year based on the plan that we discussed a lot with the suppliers. So again, we are confident that the delivery, the aircraft, we announced in the guidance for this year will be on time. That's valid for all the aircraft. Francisco, just to complete, Gabriel...
Francisco Gomes Neto: In some case with your risk.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Deliveries as well.
Francisco Gomes Neto: It remains our plan for this year based on the well.
Francisco Gomes Neto: The plan that we discussed this a lot with the suppliers. So again, we have confidence that.
Francisco Gomes Neto: With delivery.
Francisco Gomes Neto: The aircraft, we we announced that in the guidance.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Okay.
Francisco Gomes Neto: On the aircraft.
Unknown Executive: And Francisco, just to complete, Gabriel, for the defense especially, there is, I would say, not an overlap in regards to the specific parts for the C390. There are different parts or, in some cases, suppliers, and we just have, I would say, a concentration in Q1 with less receiving parts for defense, and also, the mix of contracts will cause less revenue and impact our margins, especially in Q1, but it is nothing that concerns us because This Is Korea.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Just to compete for the face, especially there is I would say naphtha overlap you guys too.
Francisco Gomes Neto: The specific parts for the C 390.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Different parts or in some cases suppliers.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We just have I would say a concentration in Q1.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Less.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We are receiving parts for defense and also the mix of cough cold calls less revenue and impact our margins, especially in Q1, but it is nothing that would concern us for this fiscal year.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Okay.
Francisco Gomes Neto: That's perfect. Thank you.
Speaker Change: That's perfect. Thank you.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Myles Alexander Walton: The next question comes from Miles Walton with Wolf, please.
Speaker Change: The next question comes from Myles Walton with Walsh.
Myles Alexander Walton: Please go ahead.
Myles Alexander Walton: Thanks. Good morning.
Myles Alexander Walton: Thanks, Good morning.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Francisco, could you elaborate a little bit on the sales campaigns for the 200 aircraft you mentioned, both E1s and E2s? And I guess there are a couple of questions, if you could give us some color on one, about the geographic dispersion of those campaigns. And the other question is, in the case of the E2s, are these customers looking to fulfill capacity needs that aren't being satisfied by Boeing and Airbus? Do you see that sort of opening emerging, or are these more expansions of customers that you would have otherwise anticipated, even if Boeing and Airbus had capacity? Thanks.
Myles Alexander Walton: Francisco could you elaborate a little bit on the sales campaigns for the 200 aircrafts you mentioned, both <unk> and I guess a couple of questions. If you could give us some color on one is the geographic dispersion of those campaigns and the other is in the case of the E. Twos are these customers are looking to fulfill.
Myles Alexander Walton: <unk> needs that aren't being satisfied by Boeing.
Myles Alexander Walton: Boeing and Airbus do you see that sort of opening emerging or are.
Myles Alexander Walton: Or are these more expansion of customers that you would have otherwise anticipated even ask Boeing and Airbus had capacity. Thanks.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Thank you, Miles, for the questions. We have campaigns in all the regions, and I will be clear with you. I mean other regions, South America, North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Speaker Change: Thanks miles.
Speaker Change: Question.
Speaker Change: We had a campaign.
Speaker Change: Other regions.
Speaker Change: To be clear with you.
Speaker Change: Other regions, South America, North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific with.
Francisco Gomes Neto: With the good opportunities, I can't disclose the details of the ongoing campaigns, but as I said, it's more than 200 potential sales. And yeah, this is a combination of different factors. You know, I mean, the E2, as we have said, it's a perfect solution to complement the operations of bigger narrow buys. So we see now today the first flight of our customer, good, in Singapore where they are going to use the eTools to open new routes and to increase the frequency of flights. And we see that in many different regions as well.
Speaker Change: We did win opportunities.
Speaker Change: I can't disclosure details of ongoing campaign, but as I said.
Speaker Change: More than 200 potential sales.
Speaker Change: Yes. This is a combination of different factors no M&A too.
Speaker Change: So we we have said.
Speaker Change: Perfect solution to complement the operation itself.
Speaker Change: Bigger.
Speaker Change: Narrow bodies. So we've seen our today is the first flight.
Speaker Change: Our customer base.
Speaker Change: In Singapore.
Speaker Change: They're going to use the tools to opening new Ross and we receive frequency of suites, and we see that being any different.
Speaker Change: We just.
Speaker Change: Well. So again, we are very easy, but we are very optimistic with the perpetual sales off.
Unknown Executive: So again, we are very, it's not easy, but we are very optimistic about the potential sales of eTools in 2024. What else? Miles, you ask him, please.
Speaker Change: In 2024.
Speaker Change: What else semi miles you proactively will repeat.
Myles Alexander Walton: Francisco, just more. Are you seeing these campaigns build demand because of the lack of supply offered by Boeing and Airbus? Or, or is that not a major factor in how these campaigns are playing out?
Speaker Change: For instance, or just more are you seeing these campaigns build.
Speaker Change: Demand because of the lack of supply offered by Boeing and Airbus.
Speaker Change: Or.
Speaker Change: Or is that not a major factor in how these campaigns are playing out.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Okay, again, as I said, it's a combination of factors. And for sure, I mean, the fact that we have what production got available already from 2026 onwards. This is a... can help the airlines to add capacity sooner to their fleets.
Speaker Change: Again as I said, it's a combination of factors and for sure I mean, the fact that we have.
Speaker Change: I mean.
Speaker Change: Production.
Speaker Change: Payable.
Speaker Change: Our rent from 'twenty to 'twenty six Illinois. This is.
Speaker Change: Can help the airlines to add.
Speaker Change: Capacity sooner to there please.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Yeah, that's where I was going. It's surprising you still have that availability given the absence of supply barrels.
Speaker Change: Yes, that's why I was giving its surprising you still have that availability given the absence of supply everybody else. Just one quick follow up if I could the arbitration timing with Boeing is that still on track for this quarter. Thanks, so much.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Thank you, Miles. Yes, we expect this to end in the first half of this year, so we should be cool, but it's not in our hands. It's a decision by the Tribunal in New York, but we expect this to end no later than the middle of this year. Perfect. Thanks again.
Myles Alexander Walton: Just one quick follow-up question if I could: the arbitration timing with Boeing is that still on track for this quarter? Thanks so much. Oh, thank you, Miles. Yes, we expect this.
Speaker Change: Oh, Thanks, and while yes, we expect this to end.
Speaker Change: In the first half of this year, so we should be close, but it's not in our hands He said adhesion.
Speaker Change: Of the.

Ron Epstein: For the World.
Ron Epstein: A couple of quick questions can you talk a little bit more just about supply chain in general and where you are seeing constraints still.
Ron Epstein: Both on commercial and defense.
Unknown Caller: Well, Rom, as we said before, we see, I mean, improvements in average in our supply chain, but we still have some challenges with specific products in terms of volume. And I'll go.
Ron Epstein: Well, Rob asked every we said before we see.
Ron Epstein: Improvements in average in our supply chain.
Ron Epstein: But we feel with some challenges.
Ron Epstein: With this specific products in terms of volume.
Ron Epstein: Although.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Now, on-time delivery. We have a lot of suppliers improving, but still, some suppliers with difficulty delivering the parts we need on time. And this again brings us more difficulty in our production. As you know, we are working on this production leveling initiative where we want to better distribute the production and delivery throughout the year. So, we will still have difficulties in 2024.
Ron Epstein: Now the on time delivery.
Ron Epstein: We have a lot of.
Ron Epstein: <unk> is improving.
Ron Epstein: Steel supply is really difficult to deliver the box really long time and these again.
Ron Epstein: Bringing to us.
Ron Epstein: More difficult in our production as you know we are working this production laterally.
Ron Epstein: Initiatives that we want to to better distribute the production and delivery throughout the year.
Ron Epstein: We still have difficult in 2024.
Ron Epstein: Expect.
Ron Epstein: But again in line with our best to deliver the guidance and we expect that even more improvements in 2025 in years ahead from our supply chain for both sides commercial and defense.
Francisco Gomes Neto: And we expect, but again, in line with our plans to deliver the guidance, and we expect even more improvements in 2025, in the years ahead from our supply chain for both sides, commercial and defense. Can you guys speak broadly to how you're thinking about product development and new products? Sure. Well, I mean, we fully understand all the excitement caused by recent media speculation.

Because of the achievements driven by engineering excellence, you know, our enterprise efficiency, and our customer-centric philosophy. And we are, of course, always looking at future options, you know, our business. But, however, as I said before, we are now in our Harvard season. So we are focusing on selling and delivering the current, existing portfolio of products that is very modern and competitive. So we don't have a concrete plan to develop or launch an aerobody or other aircraft in the next few years.

Antonio Carlos Garcia: All right, Victor. I'll start with question number one, and then Antonio will help us with question number two. Yes, we had a very exciting visit last week to our facilities in Brazil by the Mahindra CEO and three other members of this team, where we had an opportunity to better know each other and talk about the next steps in this MTA process in India to sell, you know, from 40 to up to 80 and 59 to the Indian Air Force. So we believe we have a good partnership with them and we will work best to convince the customer that our products are the best ones for the Indian Air Force.

Speaker Change: You can help us with the second yes, good morning.
Antonio Carlos Garcia: Good morning, Victor. So, very simple here. We just built up three million, which you want for the bed-deck provisions. Just Q1 was a little bit higher concentration over due payment, and it's not one specific customer, it's a bunch of customers who just apply the accounting methodology. I do not see it as being a trend for the future, but probably half of it is going to be refunded next quarter already.
Speaker Change: So.
Speaker Change: Very simple here, we just be about $3 million. Thank you well for the bad debt provision is just.
Speaker Change: Q1 was a leader.
Speaker Change: The higher concentration of overdue payments is not the one specific customer as a bank of course, we just apply the accounting methodology.
Speaker Change: M a C.
Speaker Change: Being trained.
Speaker Change: The future probably half of it is going to be a rebid next clients are ready to visa.

Speaker Change: Thank you. The next question comes from Lucas Barbosa with Santander. Please go ahead.
Lucas Teixeira Barbosa: Good morning, Francisco, Antonio, Gui, thanks for taking my questions and congratulations on the results. So my question is looking a little bit longer term at the commercial aviation division. Embraer has deliveries to be made with better pricing conditions in the future, a higher mix of E1s given the AA, American Airlines order, and a cost structure that is leaner than in recent years. So my question is, with all of those positive drivers, where can commercial aviation margins stabilize at in the future?
Lucas Teixeira Barbosa: Good morning, Francisco Carnegie Thanks for taking my questions and congratulations for the results. So my question is looking a little bit longer term at the commercial aviation Division Embraer has deliveries to be done with better pricing conditions in the future a higher mix of <unk>, given the a a or American airlines order.
Speaker Change: And the cost structure that is leaner than in several past years. So my question is with all of those positive drivers.
Speaker Change: Work in commercial aviation margins stabilize that in the future. Thank you very much.
Unknown Executive: Thank you very much.
Speaker Change: Good morning, and thanks for the question this is <unk>.
Unknown Executive: Good morning and thanks for the question. This is Agip Iva. So, look, the points you mentioned are all correct. We don't provide official guidance for individual divisions of the company. But if you look in the past, Commercial Aviation was able to sustain margins in the double-digit territory in the mid-teens.
Speaker Change: So look the <unk>.
Speaker Change: Concentration are all correct, we don't provide official guidance for individual divisions of the company, but if youre looking at the past commercial aviation.
Speaker Change: To sustain margins in the double digit territory in the mid teens.
Unknown Executive: That is far away from where we are now, but we're confident that in the next few years.
Speaker Change: That is far away from where we are now live with both of them that in the next two years.
Unknown Executive: In the next few years, we should see margins continue to improve in that direction.
Speaker Change: Should see margins continuing to improve towards that direction.
Lucas Teixeira Barbosa: Super clear. Thank you very much and have a great day. Thank you.
Speaker Change: So pretty clear thank you very much and have a great team.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Christine LeWob: The next question comes from Christine with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. Ms. LeWob, your microphone seems to be on mute.
Speaker Change: The next question comes from Cristina <unk> with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Cristina: Mr. Rob your microphone seems to be on mute.

Cristina: Hello can you hear me.
Speaker Change: Yes, yes.
Cristina: Hey, good morning, Francisco Antonio <unk>, sorry about that.
Christine LeWob: Maybe Francisco, on competitive dynamics, Airbus continues to lose money on the E220. And you know, they are aspirationally aiming to break even at 160 per year. But they're continuing to see pressure from labor costs in Canada and their supply chain. Can you talk about what this means for the pricing environment for the E2? And how has the pricing environment for E2 changed over the past few years since COVID? Are you seeing any improvement?
Cristina: Maybe francisco and competitive dynamics.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Airbus continues to lose money on the 820 and you know they are aspirational Lee breakeven at 160 per year, but they are continuing to see pressure from labor costs in Canada, and as well as their supply chain can you talk about what this means for the pricing environment for the EU and how it has been.
Francisco Gomes Neto: The pricing environment for the EPA changed over.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Over the past few years since Covid are you seeing any improvement.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Cristina, thanks for the question. A good question, by the way.
Cristina: We have a precedent.
Speaker Change: For the question good question by the way.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Well, when we have free competition in the market, the result is pressure on prices, which benefits the customers, right? In the case of Embraer, I mean, even with tough competition, we have been profitable in our commercial aviation. In the past year, the past year, the past two years, we've been profitable, commercialization, without services, and we don't sell our aircraft below cost. So what we have done, we have tried to offer competitive prices to our customers to show the value of our products. That our product, we believe that we do have the most efficient aircraft in that category.
Speaker Change: Well, what why do we have.
Speaker Change: Our free competition in the market. The result, this pressure on the price.
Speaker Change: Which benefits the customer trends.
Speaker Change: It gives a February Ed I mean, even with the.
Speaker Change: These tough competition, we have been profitable in our commercial aviation.
Speaker Change: In the past year, the past years, the best two years, we'd be profit profitable the commissioner without services.
Speaker Change: We don't sell our aircraft are below cost. So a lot that we have done we have tried to offer competitive prices to our customers to show the value of our products that we've got a we believe that we do have the most efficient aircraft in that in that category and we continue.
Francisco Gomes Neto: And we continue to work on reducing our internal costs now with Kaizen programs, with cost reduction initiatives, involving many engineers in the organization. So again, we have prepared ourselves for this competition, but without selling products below our cost. So again, we expect this year to be profitable in commercial aviation without service. If we had service, we could even improve the profit of our commercial business.
Speaker Change: Work on our reduce our internal costs now with with guys any programs.
Speaker Change: Cost reduction initiatives involving men engineers in the organization. So again you have.
Speaker Change: We set ourselves for this competition, but without selling products below our costs. So again, we expected again this year to be profitable in commercial aviation without service.
Speaker Change: <unk> service that we either improve the process of our commercial business.
Christine LeWob: Thanks, Francisco. And if I could tack another one on, I mean, following up on Miles' question, there is a shortage of aircraft globally, and Boeing continues to struggle with production, and Airbus can't meet all the demand out there either. Now, the E-2 is a very attractive aircraft. I actually flew it recently from Paris to Zurich.
Speaker Change: Thanks, Francisco antibody tagged another one and following up on miles question.
Speaker Change: There is a shortage of aircraft globally and Boeing continues to struggle of production and Airbus can't meet all the demand out there either now the <unk> is a very attractive aircraft actually fluid recently from Paris Zurich.
Speaker Change: What prevents customers from committing to more firm orders I mean that said right. You are sold out through the end of 2020, but whats preventing them for committing for the slots and 27 and beyond.
