Speaker #4: Hi, good morning, everyone. Thank you for sharing your results this morning. Francisco Felipe and Felipe, congratulations on your new role. You have a record.
Kristine Liwag: Hi. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for sharing your results this morning. You know, Francisco, Felipe and Felipe, congratulations on your new role. You know, you've got a record backlog, so, you know, I'm recognizing that the business is a position of strength. Can you talk about how Iran and oil prices are affecting customers' decision regarding their fleet? Is this a period where they're leaning on and really evaluating new airplanes? Are they looking at continued life extensions of the existing aircraft that they have? Any color that you have to share about how they're looking at this dynamic would be helpful. Thank you.
Kristine Liwag: Hi. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for sharing your results this morning. You know, Francisco, Felipe and Felipe, congratulations on your new role.

Speaker #4: Backlog, so I recognizing that the business is in a position of strength, can you talk about how Iran and oil prices are affecting customers' decision regarding their fleet?
Speaker #4: Is this a period where they're leaning on and really evaluating new airplanes? Are they looking at continued life extensions of the existing aircraft that they have?
Speaker #4: Any color that you have to share about how they're looking at this dynamic would be helpful. Thank you.
Speaker #5: Hi, Christine. Thank you very much for your question. We are closely monitoring the situation on the war. So rising cost, of course, may impact airlines' fleet expansion and renewal plans.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Hi, Kristine. Thank you very much for your question. You know, we are closely monitoring the situation on the war. Rising costs, of course, may impact airlines' fleet expansion and renewal plans. However, at this time, there is no direct impact on Embraer. We don't see any diminishing interest in new campaigns or any movements to delay deliveries.
Francisco Neto: Hi, Kristine. Thank you very much for your question. You know, we are closely monitoring the situation on the war. Rising costs, of course, may impact airlines' fleet expansion and renewal plans. However, at this time, there is no direct impact on Embraer. We don't see any diminishing interest in new campaigns or any movements to delay deliveries.
Speaker #5: direct impact on EMBRAER. So we don't see any dismission interest in new campaigns or any movements to delay deliveries.
Speaker #4: Great. Super helpful. And if I could follow up on another question, we've seen that the E2 weighs less than the A220. I think the weight difference is something like 8,000 kilos.
Kristine Liwag: Great. Super helpful. If I could follow up on another question. You know, we've seen that, you know, the E2 weighs less than the A220. I think the weight difference is something like 8,000 kilos. In this environment where airlines are reminded again that, you know, oil is a variable that they can't control and can vary widely, are they factoring this in about the decision when they're evaluating the A220 and the E2? Is this environment incrementally better for the E2 from what you've seen? Are there signs of that or are we still in early stages for those kinds of campaigns?
Kristine Liwag: Great. Super helpful. If I could follow up on another question. You know, we've seen that, you know, the E2 weighs less than the A220. I think the weight difference is something like 8,000 kilos. In this environment where airlines are reminded again that, you know, oil is a variable that they can't control and can vary widely, are they factoring this in about the decision when they're evaluating the A220 and the E2? Is this environment incrementally better for the E2 from what you've seen? Are there signs of that or are we still in early stages for those kinds of campaigns?
Speaker #4: In this environment where airlines are reminded again that oil is a variable that they can't control and can vary widely, are they factoring this in about the decision when they're evaluating the A220 and the E2?
Speaker #4: And is this environment incrementally better for the E2 from what you've seen? Are there signs of that, or are we still in early stages for those kinds of campaigns?
Speaker #5: No, absolutely. We see now we are now very well positioned with E2 in this environment because we have the most efficient aircraft in that segment of a small nanobody.
Francisco Gomes Neto: No, absolutely. We see, you know, we are now very well positioned with E2 in this environment because, you know, we have the most efficient aircraft in that segment of a small narrow body, and we see more and more airlines showing interest in this in our product. Again, we are, I say, cautiously optimistic about new campaigns with the E2s.
Francisco Neto: No, absolutely. We see, you know, we are now very well positioned with E2 in this environment because, you know, we have the most efficient aircraft in that segment of a small narrow body, and we see more and more airlines showing interest in this in our product. Again, we are, I say, cautiously optimistic about new campaigns with the E2s.
Speaker #5: And we see more and more airlines showing interest in this in our product. So again, we are cautiously optimistic about the new campaigns with the E2s.
Speaker #4: Great. Thank you.

Guilherme Paiva: Hi, Marcelo. Gui Paiva here in Embraer. Thanks for the question. As you know, in defense, we accounted on the percentage of completion methodology. We did have an amendment to a contract with a client in the quarter. That amendment was calculated retroactively to the start of the contract. Therefore, we booked that benefit fully in the quarter. That explains the BRL 25 million for the division.

Well, I don't need to tell you how happy we are with this new order in the Middle East, the first one in the region for the KC-390. Very important and relevant order. I mean, 10 aircraft firms and 10 options. Yes, this open opportunity for us to extend new deals with the neighborhood in the region, right? I mean, it shows, as happened in Europe, that, you know, this aircraft really is the best in class in that segment.
Francisco Neto: Right. Lucas, good morning. Francisco here. I will start with the question 1, then Felipe will help you with Gui or Felipe will help you with the question 2.

Francisco Gomes Neto: Going to the Middle East, yes, we see an opportunity for new sales in the region with the KC, and these 10 options can help us to do that. You know, the same thing we have with Portugal and have with the Netherlands. Felipe, second Gui, I think you will take care of the second one, right?
Francisco Neto: Going to the Middle East, yes, we see an opportunity for new sales in the region with the KC, and these 10 options can help us to do that.

Speaker #5: I think you will take care of the second one, right?
Speaker #2: Yes. Thanks for the question, Lucas. Good to hear you. So we operate a complex business. So obviously, there are fluctuations that happen quarter to quarter.
Guilherme Paiva: Yes. Thanks for the question, Lucas. Good to hear you. We know we operate a complex business, so obviously there are fluctuations that happen quarter to quarter. I think most importantly, if we're looking forward, we feel very confident and comfortable with the guidance that we put out, with 9% of EBIT margin at the midpoint of EBIT. If we continue to see the status quo of tariffs not being implemented on Brazil and on us, we estimate in the last quarter that we could see an additional 60 basis points for the year.
Guilherme Paiva: Yes. Thanks for the question, Lucas. Good to hear you. We know we operate a complex business, so obviously there are fluctuations that happen quarter to quarter.

Speaker #5: Good morning.
Noah Poponak: Hey, good morning, everyone.
Noah Poponak: Hey, good morning, everyone.
Speaker #8: Maybe on the margin question and topic, just given some moving pieces and as Guy just alluded to, the quarterly volatility that can happen, if we take the full year total company margin guidance that you have, is it possible to just speak to for full year 2026 versus 2025, what you see by segment?
Francisco Gomes Neto: Morning.
Francisco Neto: Morning.
Noah Poponak: Maybe on the margin question and topic, just given, you know, some moving pieces and as Gui just alluded to, the quarterly volatility that can happen. If we take the full year total company margin guidance that you have, is it possible to just speak to, for full year 2026 versus 2025, what you see by segment? Which segments are higher, which are lower directionally?
Noah Poponak: Maybe on the margin question and topic, just given, you know, some moving pieces and as Gui just alluded to, the quarterly volatility that can happen. If we take the full year total company margin guidance that you have, is it possible to just speak to, for full year 2026 versus 2025, what you see by segment? Which segments are higher, which are lower directionally?
Speaker #8: Which segments are higher? Which are lower? Directionally?
Speaker #2: Thank you, Noah. Felipe here. What we foresee when we compare, right, by business units is the on-commercial probably going to see stable compared to last year.
Guilherme Paiva: Thank you, Noah. Felipe here. What we foresee when we compare, right? By business unit is the on Commercial, probably gonna see stable compared to last year. On Defense, an improvement going up. Executive as well, going up, and certain Support as well. Most of the growth that we're gonna see will be pushed by these three business units and Commercial much more steady.
Guilherme Paiva: Thank you, Noah. Felipe here. What we foresee when we compare, right? By business unit is the on Commercial, probably gonna see stable compared to last year. On Defense, an improvement going up. Executive as well, going up, and certain Support as well. Most of the growth that we're gonna see will be pushed by these three business units and Commercial much more steady.
Speaker #2: On defense, an improvement going up. Executive as well going up. And seven support as well. So most of the growth that we're going to see will be pushed by these three business units and commercial much more steady.
Speaker #8: Okay. Great. That's helpful. And then as you've discussed, investing in output for executive where does that get you on possible capable annual deliveries? And what do you think where do you want to take supply annual deliveries relative to the effort to grow and give customers jets, but also keep a backlog and keep supply-demand tight?
Noah Poponak: Okay, great. That's helpful. As you've discussed investing in output for executive, where does that get you on, you know, possible capable annual deliveries? What do you want to take supply annual deliveries relative to the effort to, you know, grow and give customers jets, but also keep a backlog and keep supply demand tight?
Noah Poponak: Okay, great. That's helpful. As you've discussed investing in output for executive, where does that get you on, you know, possible capable annual deliveries? What do you want to take supply annual deliveries relative to the effort to, you know, grow and give customers jets, but also keep a backlog and keep supply demand tight?
Speaker #5: No, no. This is really a great question. And this is a combination of our supply chain capabilities and our own production capabilities. So we are working in both fronts.
Francisco Gomes Neto: No, Noah, this is really a great question. This is, you know, a combination of our supply chain capabilities and our own production capabilities. What we are working on both fronts. We are investing in expanding our sites in Brazil, Portugal, and the United States over the past 2 years. You know, and also optimizing the utilization of our assets, producing more aircrafts in the same area. In parallel, we have been working very closely with our key suppliers to make sure that they supply the parts we need to support our growth. We are growing year after year. We are growing this year. We are going to grow in the following years.
Francisco Neto: No, Noah, this is really a great question. This is, you know, a combination of our supply chain capabilities and our own production capabilities. What we are working on both fronts. We are investing in expanding our sites in Brazil, Portugal, and the United States over the past 2 years. You know, and also optimizing the utilization of our assets, producing more aircrafts in the same area. In parallel, we have been working very closely with our key suppliers to make sure that they supply the parts we need to support our growth. We are growing year after year. We are growing this year. We are going to grow in the following years.
Speaker #5: So we are investing in expanding our sites in Brazil, Portugal, and the United States over the past two years. And also optimizing our utilization of our assets, producing more aircraft in the same area.
Speaker #5: So. We have been working very closely with our key suppliers to make sure that they supply the parts we need to support our growth.
Speaker #5: We are growing year after year. We are growing this year. We are planning to grow in the following years. So we are saying we have seen that by the end of the decade, we expect to reach production of 120 commercial jets.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We are seeing that by the end of the decade, we expect to reach production of 120 commercial jets, 200 executive jets, and 10 KC-390. This is the plan.
Francisco Neto: We are seeing that by the end of the decade, we expect to reach production of 120 commercial jets, 200 executive jets, and 10 KC-390. This is the plan. Working on. Also very important, we want to deliver all the aircraft on time to our customers, and we are improving that direction as well.
Speaker #5: And 200 executive jets. And 10 KC-290. This is the plan. We have been working on. And also very important, we want to deliver all the aircraft on time to our customers.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Working on. Also very important, we want to deliver all the aircraft on time to our customers, and we are improving that direction as well.
Speaker #5: And we are improving that direction as well.
Speaker #8: Okay. And then maybe just the last one on defense, revenue, and growth. Given the growth rate in the quarter, obviously, it's an easier absolute dollar compare in the year-ago quarter.
Noah Poponak: Okay. Maybe just the last one on defense revenue and growth. Given the growth rate in the quarter, obviously it's an easier absolute dollar compare in the year ago quarter. I guess what's within the total company full year 2026 revenue guidance, what's assumed for defense growth or a range of dollars? As you execute on that program growth beyond this year, how can we think about or how can you frame where defense revenues can make it to, you know, closer to the end of the decade?
Noah Poponak: Okay. Maybe just the last one on defense revenue and growth. Given the growth rate in the quarter, obviously it's an easier absolute dollar compare in the year ago quarter. I guess what's within the total company full year 2026 revenue guidance, what's assumed for defense growth or a range of dollars? As you execute on that program growth beyond this year, how can we think about or how can you frame where defense revenues can make it to, you know, closer to the end of the decade?
Speaker #8: But I guess what's within the total company full year 2026 revenue guidance, what's assumed for defense growth or a range of dollars? And then as you execute on that program growth beyond this year, how can we think about or how can you frame where defense revenues can make it to closer to the end of the decade?
Speaker #2: Felipe here on Noah. Thank you. On defense, right, we don't give specific numbers. But the way that we see is that around six probably six aircraft this year 12 A-29.
Felipe Santana: Felipe here, Noah. Thank you. On defense, right? We don't give specific numbers, but the way that we see is that around 6, probably 6 aircraft this year, KC, and 12 A-29. That's the way that we see, and we see the space of deliveries growing, especially on KC year per year, up to 10 aircraft in the end of the decade.
Felipe Santana: Felipe here, Noah. Thank you. On defense, right? We don't give specific numbers, but the way that we see is that around 6, probably 6 aircraft this year, KC, and 12 A-29. That's the way that we see, and we see the space of deliveries growing, especially on KC year per year, up to 10 aircraft in the end of the decade.
Speaker #2: That's the way that we see. And we see this pace of deliveries growing, especially on KC. Year per year, up to 10 aircraft in the end of the decade.
Speaker #5: And Felipe, we follow only to complement this answer. Noah, we have been working in a new initiative we call Pull to the Left, which aims to anticipate the revenues and higher profitability.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Felipe, if you allow me to complement this answer. Noah, we have been working in a new initiative we call Pull to the Left, which aim to anticipate the revenues and higher profitability. Then we are focusing on enhancing our execution process, accelerating revenue and improving profitability at a faster pace. As things are now coming to a more stable situation, we believe there is an opportunity for us to accelerate our efficiency programs within the company.
Francisco Neto: Felipe, if you allow me to complement this answer. Noah, we have been working in a new initiative we call Pull to the Left, which aim to anticipate the revenues and higher profitability. Then we are focusing on enhancing our execution process, accelerating revenue and improving profitability at a faster pace. As things are now coming to a more stable situation, we believe there is an opportunity for us to accelerate our efficiency programs within the company.
Speaker #5: So then we are focusing on enhancing our execution process, accelerating revenue, and improving profitability at a faster pace. So I think these are now coming to a more stable situation.
Speaker #5: We believe there is an opportunity for us to accelerate our efficiency programs within the company.
Speaker #8: Okay. Excellent. Thank you so much.
Noah Poponak: Okay. Excellent. Thank you so much.
Noah Poponak: Okay. Excellent. Thank you so much.
Speaker #5: You're welcome, Noah.
Francisco Gomes Neto: You are welcome, Noah.
Francisco Neto: You are welcome, Noah.
Speaker #3: The next question comes from Danielle Gasparecci with Itaú BBA. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Daniel Gasparete with Itaú BBA. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Daniel Gasparete with Itaú BBA. Please go ahead.
Speaker #9: Good morning, guys. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Two questions here from my side. The first one will be if you could kindly walk us through what happened and what affected the margins on the executive aviation.
Daniel Gasparete: Good morning, guys. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Two questions here from my side. The first one will be to, if you could kindly walk us through what happened and what affected the margins on the executive aviation. You mentioned the expenses with the operator. Just to get a better idea of how much it was, how much the margin would be excluded for that? That would be the question 1. Also, if you could comment on the same dynamic for the commercial aviation. Secondly, would be on the adjustment on the Republic order, just to have a better understanding of how that works in terms of is there any kind of cost for the client?
Daniel Gasparete: Good morning, guys. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Two questions here from my side. The first one will be to, if you could kindly walk us through what happened and what affected the margins on the executive aviation. You mentioned the expenses with the operator. Just to get a better idea of how much it was, how much the margin would be excluded for that? That would be the question 1. Also, if you could comment on the same dynamic for the commercial aviation. Secondly, would be on the adjustment on the Republic order, just to have a better understanding of how that works in terms of is there any kind of cost for the client?
Speaker #9: You mentioned the expenses with the operator. Just to get a better idea of how much it was, how the margin excluded for that, that would be the question number one.
Speaker #9: And also, if you could comment on the same dynamic for the commercial aviation. And secondly, would be on the adjustments on the Republic order.
Speaker #9: Just to have a better understanding of how that works in terms of is there any kind of cost for the client? I mean, is it like a conversation that you have with them and you can simply accommodate them?
Daniel Gasparete: I mean, it's like a conversation to have with them, and you can simply accommodate them, or does that change the price? Does it has any kind of fee? Just have a better understanding of how that works in terms of rearrangement of the orders. Thank you very much.
Daniel Gasparete: I mean, it's like a conversation to have with them, and you can simply accommodate them, or does that change the price? Does it has any kind of fee? Just have a better understanding of how that works in terms of rearrangement of the orders. Thank you very much.
Speaker #9: Or does that change the price? Has any kind of fee? Just have a better understanding of how that works in terms of rearrangement of the orders.
Speaker #9: Thank you very much.
Speaker #2: Felipe here, Gasparecci. Thank you for your question. So the first question I will answer here. So when I look to executive aviation, the margins, right, the margin was pressure reflected US tariffs, right?
Felipe Santana: Felipe Gaspari here. Thank you for your question. The first question I will answer here. When I look to Executive Aviation, the margins, right? The margin was pressured reflected US tariffs, right? We had the US tariffs this quarter that we didn't have last year. Also the customer mix, we had much more fractional companies being delivered compared to the last year. Also with the launch of the new Praetor 500E and 600E models, we also had an impact on the selling expenses to that. The way that we see the coming quarters will be normalized, that we don't expect any more impacts on the margins of Executive Aviation. The second question, Gui will take you.
Felipe Santana: Felipe Gaspari here. Thank you for your question. The first question I will answer here. When I look to Executive Aviation, the margins, right? The margin was pressured reflected US tariffs, right? We had the US tariffs this quarter that we didn't have last year. Also the customer mix, we had much more fractional companies being delivered compared to the last year. Also with the launch of the new Praetor 500E and 600E models, we also had an impact on the selling expenses to that. The way that we see the coming quarters will be normalized, that we don't expect any more impacts on the margins of Executive Aviation. The second question, Gui will take you.
Speaker #2: We had the US tariffs this quarter that we didn't have last year. We. Had more fractional companies being delivered compared to the last year.
Speaker #2: And also with the launch of the new Parader 500 and 600E models, we also had an impact on the selling expenses. To that. But the way that we see the coming quarters will be normalized.
Speaker #2: We don't expect any more impacts on the margins of executive aviation. And the second question we'll take you.
Speaker #8: Hi, Gasparecci. Thanks for the question. So in terms of the Republic order, I think it's important to highlight first that there was no change whatsoever to the total order of aircraft order with us and in the backlog.
Guilherme Paiva: Hi, Felipe Gaspari. Thanks for the question. In terms of the Republic order, I think it's important to highlight first that there was no change whatsoever to the total order of aircraft order with us and in the backlog. The adjustment was purely limited to the delivery schedule, which was revised by a mutual agreement between the two parties. In Republic, the slots were reallocated to our other customers. It should have no impact on our deliveries for the next few years.
Guilherme Paiva: Hi, Felipe Gaspari. Thanks for the question. In terms of the Republic order, I think it's important to highlight first that there was no change whatsoever to the total order of aircraft order with us and in the backlog. The adjustment was purely limited to the delivery schedule, which was revised by a mutual agreement between the two parties. In Republic, the slots were reallocated to our other customers. It should have no impact on our deliveries for the next few years.
Speaker #8: The adjustment was purely limited to the delivery schedule, which was revised by mutual agreement between the two parties. And the Republic is a lot more reallocated already to other customers.
Speaker #8: So it should have no impact on our deliveries for the next few years.
Speaker #5: Okay. Great. Thank you, Felipe. Thank you, Guy.
Daniel Gasparete: Okay. Great. Thank you, Felipe. Thank you, Gui.
Daniel Gasparete: Okay. Great. Thank you, Felipe. Thank you, Gui.
Speaker #3: The next question comes from Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please go ahead.
Speaker #10: Morning, Francisco, Felipe, Guy. Thank you for my question. First, welcome, Felipe. It'd be a pleasure to work with you on this if you need anything.
Alberto Valerio: Morning, Francisco, Felipe, Gui. Thank you for taking my question. First, welcome, Felipe. It'd be a pleasure to work with you. Count on us if you need anything. I have two on my side. The first on tariffs. I would like to know if this was one non-recurring item on the Q1. I thought this new 10% tariff would not be hitting the aerospace products. The second one also on tariffs, the Section 232 has any involvement or any impact on your cost, if on the cost of your suppliers, from Mexico and Canada? The second one, it's about the book-to-bill. How have been in the Q2? What should expect for the divisions?
Alberto Valerio: Morning, Francisco, Felipe, Gui. Thank you for taking my question. First, welcome, Felipe. It'd be a pleasure to work with you. Count on us if you need anything. I have two on my side. The first on tariffs. I would like to know if this was one non-recurring item on the Q1. I thought this new 10% tariff would not be hitting the aerospace products. The second one also on tariffs, the Section 232 has any involvement or any impact on your cost, if on the cost of your suppliers, from Mexico and Canada? The second one, it's about the book-to-bill. How have been in the Q2? What should expect for the divisions? If you could tell us if change expectation, or I imagine that service might change with some grounding of all the aircrafts. If you may comment on this one. Thank you very much.
Speaker #10: I have two on my side. The first on tariffs. I would like to know if this was one non-recurring item on the first quarter.
Speaker #10: I thought this new 10% tariff would not be hit in the aerospace products. The second one, and also on tariffs, the section 232 has any involvement or any impact on your cost?
Speaker #10: On the cost of your suppliers. From Mexico and Canada. The second one, it's about the book to bill. How have been in the second quarter?
Speaker #10: What should we expect for the divisions? And if you could tell us if change expectation because or I imagine that service might change with some grounding of old aircraft.
Francisco Gomes Neto: If you could tell us if change expectation, or I imagine that service might change with some grounding of all the aircrafts. If you may comment on this one. Thank you very much.
Speaker #10: If you may comment on this one. Thank you very much.
Speaker #2: Felipe here. Thank you, Albert, for your question. So regarding the tariffs, right, we had the impact on the first quarter of 13 million dollars.
Felipe Santana: Felipe here. Thank you, Alberto, for your question. Regarding the tariffs, right? We had the impact on Q1 of $13 million.
Felipe Santana: Felipe here. Thank you, Alberto, for your question. Regarding the tariffs, right? We had the impact on Q1 of $13 million. Mainly related to inventory effects. Looking forward, we still have another 11 million inventory that will should impact the Q2 of this year. When we look right to the potential impact of the US Section 232, we maintain the tariffs on our guys, given everything that's going on, right? This reflects a conservative approach that we do have. As soon as we have more visibility, we can make any change or even the guidance or share with you what we will have of impact. On your second questions, we don't give any information about the book-to-bill in the current quarter, okay?
Speaker #2: Mainly related to inventory effects. But looking forward, we still have another 11 million inventory. That should impact the second quarter of this year. When we look, right, to the potential impact of the US section 232, we maintain the tariff is down, guys.
Felipe Santana: Mainly related to inventory effects. Looking forward, we still have another 11 million inventory that will should impact the Q2 of this year. When we look right to the potential impact of the US Section 232, we maintain the tariffs on our guys, given everything that's going on, right? This reflects a conservative approach that we do have. As soon as we have more visibility, we can make any change or even the guidance or share with you what we will have of impact. On your second questions, we don't give any information about the book-to-bill in the current quarter, okay?
Speaker #2: Give it everything that's going on, right? Because this reflects a conservative approach that we do have. As soon as we have more visibility than we can make any change or even the guidance or share with you what we will have of impact.
Speaker #2: And also on your second questions, we don't give any information about the book to bill in the current quarter, okay?
Speaker #10: Perfect. Thank you very much.
Speaker #5: Thank you.
Alberto Valerio: Perfect. Thank you very much.
Alberto Valerio: Perfect. Thank you very much.

Operator: The next question comes from Andre Mazini with Citi. Please go ahead.
Speaker #11: Yes. Hi, Francisco, Felipe, Guy. Welcome to the call and CFO position, Felipe. Happy to chat. So the first one, we see Rolls-Royce wanting to go back to the narrow body engine market, which is currently dominated by CFM Sleep and Pratt GTF, so wanted to ask you guys if Embraer is already in conversation with Rolls-Royce for any future partnership, likely for future projects, new airframes, but if you guys are speaking to Rolls.
Andre Mazini: Yes. Hi Francisco, Felipe, Gui. Welcome to the call and CFO position, Felipe. Happy to chat. The first one, we see Rolls-Royce wanting to go back to the narrow body engine market, which is currently dominated by CFM's LEAP and Pratt's GTF. Wanted to ask you guys if Embraer is already in conversation with Rolls-Royce for any future partnership, likely for future projects, new airframes, but if you guys are speaking to Rolls. This is the first one, I have a second.
Andre Mazini: Yes. Hi Francisco, Felipe, Gui. Welcome to the call and CFO position, Felipe. Happy to chat. The first one, we see Rolls-Royce wanting to go back to the narrow body engine market, which is currently dominated by CFM's LEAP and Pratt's GTF. Wanted to ask you guys if Embraer is already in conversation with Rolls-Royce for any future partnership, likely for future projects, new airframes, but if you guys are speaking to Rolls. This is the first one, I have a second.
Speaker #11: This is the first one and I have a second.
Speaker #5: For the question? I mean, we are making studies for a new cycle of products for Embraer, right? I mean, either a commercial jet or a business jet.
Francisco Gomes Neto: The question, we are making studies for a new cycle of products for Embraer, right? Either a commercial jet or a business jet. In that regard, we are talking to potential suppliers of the different products to understand the new technology and so on. I cannot disclose more details on that. Normally, we talk to all of them, but I don't have specific information to share with you about this or that specific supplier.
Francisco Neto: The question, we are making studies for a new cycle of products for Embraer, right? Either a commercial jet or a business jet. In that regard, we are talking to potential suppliers of the different products to understand the new technology and so on. I cannot disclose more details on that. Normally, we talk to all of them, but I don't have specific information to share with you about this or that specific supplier.
Speaker #5: So in that regard, we are talking to potential suppliers. I mean, of the different products to understand the new technology and so on. But I cannot disclose your more details on that.
Speaker #5: I mean, with the specific, normally we talk to all of them. But when I. To share with you about this or that specific supplier.
Speaker #11: Perfect. Perfect. Thank you, Francisco. And the second one, on potential competition. So Boeing is slated to certify the 777-7 later this year, the -7 is a 140-seat jet.
Andre Mazini: Perfect. Thank you, Francisco. The second one on a potential competition. Boeing is slated to certify the 737-7 later this year. The dash seven is a 140-seat jet, so a little bit larger in terms of seat count than the E195-E2. Do you think the dash seven competes in any sense with the E195-E2, or given that it's a more expensive and longer range plane, it should be used for totally different missions, or if there's any overlap? Thank you.
Andre Mazini: Perfect. Thank you, Francisco. The second one on a potential competition. Boeing is slated to certify the 737-7 later this year. The dash seven is a 140-seat jet, so a little bit larger in terms of seat count than the E195-E2. Do you think the dash seven competes in any sense with the E195-E2, or given that it's a more expensive and longer range plane, it should be used for totally different missions, or if there's any overlap? Thank you.
Speaker #11: So a little bit larger in terms of seat counts than the 195E2. So do you think the -7 competes in any sense with the 195E2 or given that it's a more expensive and longer-range plane, it should be used for totally different missions or if there's any overlap?
Speaker #11: Thank you.
Speaker #5: I think they might compete with us in one or another campaign. But we believe that for that segment, up to 150 seats, the E2 is the most competitive jet.
Francisco Gomes Neto: They might compete with us in one or other campaign, but we believe that for that segment, up to 150 seats, the E2 is the most competitive jet, you know, the most efficient jet in that segment. Yeah, we might have some competition in some campaigns, but we are very confident that the E2 is the best option for the customers to complement the larger narrow bodies. It was developed for that segment with all the experience Embraer acquired with the first generation. Again, and more and more customers are seeing that. We have now 24 customers for our E2s and are working in different new campaigns as well.
Francisco Neto: They might compete with us in one or other campaign, but we believe that for that segment, up to 150 seats, the E2 is the most competitive jet, you know, the most efficient jet in that segment. Yeah, we might have some competition in some campaigns, but we are very confident that the E2 is the best option for the customers to complement the larger narrow bodies.

We have now 24 customers for our E2s and are working in different new campaigns as well.
Speaker #5: The most efficient jet in that segment. So and then we believe the yeah, we might have some competition in some campaigns. But we are very confident that the E2 is the best option for the customers to complement the larger narrow bodies.
Speaker #5: It was developed for that segment with all the experience Embraer acquired with the first generation. So again, in the more and more customers are seeing that, we have now 24 customers for our E2s.
Speaker #5: And are working in different new campaigns as well.
Speaker #11: Thank you, Francisco.

Andre Mazini: Thank you, Francisco.
Operator: The next question comes from Lucas Laghi with XP. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Lucas Laghi with XP. Please go ahead.
Speaker #10: Good morning, Francisco, Guy, Felipe. Congrats on the new. I have a question on defense. I mean, showing a very strong commercial front. Just wanted to understand.
Lucas Laghi: Good morning, Francisco, Gui, Felipe. Congrats on the new role. I have a question on defense. I mean, showing a very strong commercial activity right on the C-390 front. Just wanted to better understand, I mean, considering your current capacity output, I guess you mentioned like 6 aircraft this year, expectations for 10 aircraft by the end of the decade. Just better understanding, considering your current backlog, how full are your capacity, considering Brazilian footprint, as we speak? If you see a further space for accelerating new orders without any new expansion, and on this context, I mean, if new orders continue to accelerate, if you see any potential room for expansion in your facility here at Brazil.
Lucas Laghi: Good morning, Francisco, Gui, Felipe. Congrats on the new role. I have a question on defense. I mean, showing a very strong commercial activity right on the C-390 front. Just wanted to better understand, I mean, considering your current capacity output, I guess you mentioned like 6 aircraft this year, expectations for 10 aircraft by the end of the decade. Just better understanding, considering your current backlog, how full are your capacity, considering Brazilian footprint, as we speak? If you see a further space for accelerating new orders without any new expansion, and on this context, I mean, if new orders continue to accelerate, if you see any potential room for expansion in your facility here at Brazil.
Speaker #10: I mean, considering your current capacity, output, I guess you mentioned six aircraft this year, expectations for 10 aircraft. By the end of the decade.
Speaker #10: So just better understanding considering your current backlog, how full are your capacity considering Brazilian footprint as we speak? And if you see further space for accelerating new orders without any new expansion?
Speaker #10: And on this context, I mean, if new orders continue to accelerate, if you see any potential in your Brazil. I mean, still on the topic, but we understand the building a new plant on the US, on India.
Speaker #10: Just if you could give us an update on that front as well. I mean, how are those conversations with India and the US evolving?
Lucas Laghi: I mean, still on the topic, but we understand the optionalities by building a new plant on the US, on India. Just if you could give us an update on that front as well and how are those conversations with India and the US evolving. I mean, your partnership with Northrop Grumman. Just better understanding your whole capacity on utilization of context on the C-390. Thank you.
Lucas Laghi: I mean, still on the topic, but we understand the optionalities by building a new plant on the US, on India. Just if you could give us an update on that front as well and how are those conversations with India and the US evolving. I mean, your partnership with Northrop Grumman. Just better understanding your whole capacity on utilization of context on the C-390. Thank you.
Speaker #10: I mean, your partnership with Northrop Grumman. So just better understanding the whole capacity utilization context on the C390. Thank you.
Speaker #5: Very good question. First, I mean, we are investing to expand our production capacity for the KC-290, as I said. Growing one per year, 626, 727, 828, 929, and 10 in 30.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Very good question. First, we are investing to expand our production capacity for the KC-390, as I said, growing 1 per year: 6 in 2026, 7 in 2027, 8 in 2028, 9 in 2029, and 10 in 2030. This capacity is enough to support the current sales campaigns we are working on. In parallel, we are working in opportunities that might bring much higher volumes, like India and the US, right? Those campaigns will require a localization of our production. India is moving, is progressing as planned with the Indian Air Force. We are working very close to that campaign. If we win that campaign, the aircraft will be assembled in India with a lot of local suppliers as well.
Francisco Neto: Very good question. First, we are investing to expand our production capacity for the KC-390, as I said, growing 1 per year: 6 in 2026, 7 in 2027, 8 in 2028, 9 in 2029, and 10 in 2030.

Those campaigns will require a localization of our production. India is moving, is progressing as planned with the Indian Air Force. We are working very close to that campaign. If we win that campaign, the aircraft will be assembled in India with a lot of local suppliers as well.
Speaker #5: And this capacity is enough to support the current sales campaigns we are working on. But in parallel, we are working in opportunities that might bring much higher volumes, like India and the US, right?
Speaker #5: But those campaigns, we require a localization of our production. So then India is moving, is progressing as planet with the India Air Force. We are working very close to that campaign.
Speaker #5: But if we win, that campaign, the aircraft will be assembled in India with a lot of local suppliers as well. This will help us to increase the capacity and fulfill the requirement of the META program in India.
Speaker #5: On the other front, the US. The US is the same. So we now are working with the Northrop Grumman to develop the boom and other systems capabilities to make sure that the KC-290 will be ready to enter in the US Air Force.
Francisco Gomes Neto: This will help us to increase the capacity and fulfill the requirement of the MTA program in India. On the other front, US is the same. We now are working with the Northrop Grumman to develop, you know, the boom and other systems capabilities to, you know, to make sure that the KC-390 will be ready, I mean, to enter in the US Air Force. Also, if we win a relevant order, this aircraft will be assembled in the US as well. With those two fronts, we will be able to increase our capacity and of course, to grow significantly our defense business.
Francisco Neto: This will help us to increase the capacity and fulfill the requirement of the MTA program in India. On the other front, US is the same. We now are working with the Northrop Grumman to develop, you know, the boom and other systems capabilities to, you know, to make sure that the KC-390 will be ready, I mean, to enter in the US Air Force. Also, if we win a relevant order, this aircraft will be assembled in the US as well. With those two fronts, we will be able to increase our capacity and of course, to grow significantly our defense business.
Speaker #5: And also, if we win a relevant order this aircraft, we'll be assembled in the US as well. So with those two fronts, we'll be able to increase our capacity.
Speaker #5: And of course, to grow a significantly our defense business.

Speaker #3: We'll also answer questions sent via the platform chat. Please hold while we pull for questions. The first question comes from Richard Sherman with Air Inside.
Speaker #3: Please go ahead.
Speaker #12: Good morning. Can you hear me?
Speaker #5: Yes, we can, Richard. Go ahead.
Speaker #12: All right. Good morning. Hello. Hello. I have two questions, actually. In your remarks and answers, you mentioned the leveling of the production going to 2027.
Richard Sherman: Good morning. Can you hear me?
Richard Schuurman: Good morning. Can you hear me?
Francisco Gomes Neto: Yes, we can, Richard. Go ahead.
Francisco Neto: Yes, we can, Richard. Go ahead.
Speaker #12: The original plan was to get to a more level production, level already this year. What are the reasons that this is pushed out to 2027?
Richard Sherman: All right. Good morning. Hello, hello. I have 2 questions, actually. In your remarks and answers, you mentioned the leveling of the production going to 2027. The original plan was to get to a more level production level already this year. What are the reasons that this is pushed out to 2027? My second question is, as you have been aware, on Wednesday, Tony Fernandes announced the big order for the Airbus A220, but he also mentioned that he was taking or had taken a serious look at the Embraer E2. What's your view? Have you been given a fair chance to offer the E2 to AirAsia, and at what stage did you get in the negotiations?
Richard Schuurman: All right. Good morning. Hello, hello. I have 2 questions, actually. In your remarks and answers, you mentioned the leveling of the production going to 2027. The original plan was to get to a more level production level already this year. What are the reasons that this is pushed out to 2027? My second question is, as you have been aware, on Wednesday, Tony Fernandes announced the big order for the Airbus A220, but he also mentioned that he was taking or had taken a serious look at the Embraer E2. What's your view? Have you been given a fair chance to offer the E2 to AirAsia, and at what stage did you get in the negotiations?
Speaker #12: And my second question is, as you have been aware, Wednesday, Tony Fernandes announced the big order for the Airbus A220. But you also mentioned that he was taking or had taken a serious look at the Embraer E2.
Speaker #12: What's your view? Have you been given a fair chance to offer the E2 to AirAsia? And at what stage did you get in the negotiations?
Speaker #5: All right. So let's start with question number one, Richard. Yeah, we are having progress leveling our production this year. I mean, executive jets, we are now almost with the production leveled.
Francisco Gomes Neto: All right. Let's start with the question number 1, Richard. Yeah, we are having progress leveling our production this year. I mean, as active jets, we are now almost with the production leveled. I mean, we saw good improvements in Q1 last year and this year again. We see this, the Phenoms and the Praetors, we now see the production almost leveled at the level we are looking for. 2027 will be just a fine adjustment as far as active jets. On commercial jets, Richard, we have some more challenges because of some parts suppliers. We did it better this year, and we expect to improve even further for 2027.
Francisco Neto: All right. Let's start with the question number 1, Richard. Yeah, we are having progress leveling our production this year. I mean, as active jets, we are now almost with the production leveled. I mean, we saw good improvements in Q1 last year and this year again. We see this, the Phenoms and the Praetors, we now see the production almost leveled at the level we are looking for. 2027 will be just a fine adjustment as far as active jets. On commercial jets, Richard, we have some more challenges because of some parts suppliers. We did it better this year, and we expect to improve even further for 2027.
Speaker #5: I mean, we saw good improvements in Q1 last year. And this year, again, and we'll see this the finals and the predators we now see the production almost leveled at the level we are looking for.
Speaker #5: So 2027 will be just a fine adjustment for executive jets. On commercial jets, Richard, we have some more challenges because of some pacers suppliers.
Speaker #5: So we did a better this year. And we expect to improve even further for 2027. So we are working we have been working already with the suppliers to make sure that we will have a better start in 2027 than we had in 2026.
Speaker #5: So again, the program is moving well. Executive jets, more advanced, but commercial jets are also improving. The second question about AirAsia. I mean, after our customer is good, it's good to see another low-cost carrier in the region recognizing the advantages of a small narrow-body jet, right?
Francisco Gomes Neto: We have been working already with the suppliers to make sure that we will have a better start in 2027 than we had in 2026. Again, the program is moving well. As active jets, more advanced, but commercial jets are also improving. The second question about AirAsia. I mean, first of all, I mean, after our customer is good, it's good to see another low-cost carrier in the region recognizing the advantages of a small narrow body jets, right? And this is a trend that we expect to continue as we rebuild our record backlog and huge E2 momentum in the market. Remember, we sold the last year, I mean, almost 200 E2s.
Francisco Neto: We have been working already with the suppliers to make sure that we will have a better start in 2027 than we had in 2026. Again, the program is moving well. As active jets, more advanced, but commercial jets are also improving. The second question about AirAsia.

And this is a trend that we expect to continue as we rebuild our record backlog and huge E2 momentum in the market. Remember, we sold the last year, I mean, almost 200 E2s.
Speaker #5: So and this is a trend that we expect to continue. As we build on our record backlog and huge E2 momentum in the market, remember, we saw the last year, I mean, almost 200 E2s.
Speaker #5: So obviously, we would have liked to add AirAsia to our global family of 24 E2 operators. But our competitor, we knew since the beginning that our competitor has a huge incumbent in that airline.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Obviously, we would have liked to add AirAsia to our global family of 24 E2 operators. You know, our competitor, we knew since the beginning that our competitor has a huge incumbents in that, in that airline and order slots. As we did very well last year, I mean, and we also have a lot of opportunities this year, we don't see this a big issue for Embraer. This will not affect our growth plans for our commercial jets. Yes, it was a good experience working with AirAsia. I think they understood the benefits of our product. Our product would bring it to their feet, but in the end of the day, they decide to go with the competition, and we respect their decision.
Francisco Neto: Obviously, we would have liked to add AirAsia to our global family of 24 E2 operators.

Yes, it was a good experience working with AirAsia. I think they understood the benefits of our product. Our product would bring it to their feet, but in the end of the day, they decide to go with the competition, and we respect their decision.
Speaker #5: And earlier, it's lost. So and as we did very well last year, I mean, and we also have a lot of opportunities this year we don't see this a big issue for Embraer.
Speaker #5: This will not affect our growth plans for commercial jets. And yes, it was a good experience working with AirAsia. I think they understood the benefits of our product, the our product could bring it to their fleet.
Speaker #5: But at the end of the day, they decided to go. Competition. And we respect their decision.
Speaker #10: Okay. Thank you. Can I add one more question in follow-up on the first answer you gave? Do you expect to improve the commercial jet production and get it more level already in the second half of the year?
Richard Sherman: Okay. Thank you. Can I add one more question in follow-up on the first answer you gave? Do you expect to improve the commercial jet production and get it more level already in H2 of the year?
Richard Schuurman: Okay. Thank you. Can I add one more question in follow-up on the first answer you gave? Do you expect to improve the commercial jet production and get it more level already in H2 of the year?
Speaker #5: We are working on that. Initiative I mentioned before, we call pull to the left. This includes also production and deliveries but not in a significant way.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We are working on that. In this initiative I mentioned before, that we call Pull to the Left. This includes, you know, also production and deliveries, not in a significant way still this year because of the supply chain. We don't see any risk for us to deliver the guidance we gave to the market of 85 commercial jets and between 160 and 170 business jets. A better improvement in terms of leveling for commercial jets, we will see in 2027 and 2028.
Francisco Neto: We are working on that. In this initiative I mentioned before, that we call Pull to the Left.

A better improvement in terms of leveling for commercial jets, we will see in 2027 and 2028.
Speaker #5: It's still this year because of the supply chain. We don't see any risk for us to deliver the guidance we gave to the market of 85 commercial jets in between 160 and 170 business jets.
Speaker #5: But a better improvement in terms of leveling for commercial jets, we will see in 2027 and 2028.
Speaker #10: Brigado.
Speaker #5: De nada. Thank you, Richard.
Speaker #3: Thank you. The next question comes from Jonathan. With flight global. Please go ahead.
Richard Sherman: Obrigado.
Richard Schuurman: Obrigado.
Francisco Gomes Neto: De nada. Thank you, Richard.
Francisco Neto: De nada. Thank you, Richard.
Speaker #13: Hello, everyone. I hope you I think you can hear me now. Thanks for doing this. Hey, commercial future for future aircraft, commercial jets, you touched on it briefly, Francisco.

Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from Jon Hemmerdinger with FlightGlobal. Please go ahead.
Jon Hemmerdinger: Hello, everyone. I think you can hear me now. Thanks for doing this. Hey, for future aircraft commercial jets, you touched on it briefly, Francisco. Any update you can give us on what segment you're looking at? How large of an aircraft? What timeline would be? We know you've been considering this for several years. What have you learned in the last year? Just tell us more about that, if you could.
Jonathan Hemmerdinger: Hello, everyone. I think you can hear me now. Thanks for doing this. Hey, for future aircraft commercial jets, you touched on it briefly, Francisco. Any update you can give us on what segment you're looking at? How large of an aircraft? What timeline would be? We know you've been considering this for several years.

Speaker #13: What have you learned in the last year? Just tell us more about that, if you could.
Speaker #5: Yeah, Jonathan, thanks for the question. Well, first, we are now, as you see, we are we have been focusing a lot on improving our performance in terms of deliveries and sales, of the products we have, right?
Francisco Gomes Neto: Yeah, Jonathan, thanks for the question. Well, first, as you see, we have been focusing a lot on improving our performance in terms of deliveries and sales of the products we have, right? We have a very modern and competitive portfolio of products. We are increasing our backlog and our, with new orders for all the segments, commercial, executive, and defense. This will take us, Embraer, to a very important midterm growth in terms of revenues, in terms of profitability. In parallel, we are investing new technologies, you know, aerostructures, wings, cockpits, and so on, in order to be ready to develop a new airplane.
Francisco Neto: Yeah, Jonathan, thanks for the question. Well, first, as you see, we have been focusing a lot on improving our performance in terms of deliveries and sales of the products we have, right?

Speaker #5: We have a very modern and competitive portfolio of products. And we are increasing our backlog and our with the new orders for all the segments.
Speaker #5: Commercial, executive, and defense. And this will take us, Embraer, to a very important midterm growth in terms of revenues, in terms of profitability. But in parallel, we are investing in new technologies.
Speaker #5: Aerostructures, wings, cockpits, and so on. In order to be ready to develop a new airplane. So we are making studies in the two fronts.
Speaker #5: And we don't have we are not at the point to disclose any more information about that because we don't have a decision yet about the segment we want to go to.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We are making strategies in the two fronts, and we don't have, we're not at the point to disclosure any more information on that because we don't have a decision yet about the segment we want to go to. We know we need a strong product with a strong value proposition, with a robust, I mean, funding strategy because we don't want to put in risk the financial health of the company. Again, we are working in all those fronts, but we are not ready yet to disclosure more information on that.
Francisco Neto: We are making strategies in the two fronts, and we don't have, we're not at the point to disclosure any more information on that because we don't have a decision yet about the segment we want to go to.

Speaker #5: So again, we are working on all those fronts. But we are not ready yet to disclose more information on that.
Speaker #13: Thank you. I just do wonder if you might say any estimate of timeline, how long you think the E-jets can carry that growth that you're talking about and when a decision might have to be made.
Jon Hemmerdinger: Thank you. I just do wonder if you might say any estimate of timeline, how long you think the E-Jets can carry that growth that you're talking about and when a decision might have to be made.
Jonathan Hemmerdinger: Thank you. I just do wonder if you might say any estimate of timeline, how long you think the E-Jets can carry that growth that you're talking about and when a decision might have to be made.
Speaker #5: This does not depend only on us. This depends on the technology available in the market, right, for different products. And this is what we are working on.
Speaker #5: So we don't have a timeline to share with you Jonathan.
Francisco Gomes Neto: This does not depend only on us. This depend on the technology available in the market, right? For different products. This is what we are working on, so we don't have a timeline to share with you, Jon Hemmerdinger.
Francisco Neto: This does not depend only on us. This depend on the technology available in the market, right? For different products. This is what we are working on, so we don't have a timeline to share with you, Jon Hemmerdinger.

Francisco Gomes Neto: Well, Steve, I mean, we don't have plans for completion centers at this point of time in UAE. We have, we are working to collaborate with the local suppliers in the UAE, and this is ongoing process. We will increase our collaboration with local suppliers. I mean, we mentioned the Gen5, for example, in case of the KC-390. We don't have this a plan at this point of time for a completion center. It'll be just a collaboration with the local suppliers for us to buy parts made by them.
Francisco Neto: Well, Steve, I mean, we don't have plans for completion centers at this point of time in UAE. We have, we are working to collaborate with the local suppliers in the UAE, and this is ongoing process. We will increase our collaboration with local suppliers.

Speaker #14: Okay. Thank you very much.
Speaker #5: It's a result of this production leveling efforts.
Speaker #14: Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to confirm that. I think you'd said in a decade or something like that. So I just want to make sure that is actually the record for the company.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Yes, it is. We are very happy with that.
Francisco Neto: Yes, it is. We are very happy with that.
Speaker #5: Yes. And I mean, we are coming from tough times in the past, especially with the supply chain. That was leading us to concentrate deliveries at the end of the year.

Speaker #5: And this means a week Q1. Because of that concentration, the year before. But now we are changing the situation step by step. And delivering these jets, executive jets in Q1 this year, is proving that we are in the right way.
Francisco Gomes Neto: Yes. You know, I mean, we are coming from tough times in the past, especially with the supply chain that, you know, was leading us to concentrate deliveries at the end of the year. This means, you know, a weak Q1, because of that concentration the year before. Now we are changing the situation step by step. This, you know, delivering these jets, executive jets in Q1 this year, is proving that we are in the right way.

Speaker #3: The next question comes from the chat. And it's from Joanna Bailey. How does the UAE's C390 order help you get a foot in the door in the Middle East?
Curt Epstein: Thank you so much.
Curt Epstein: Thank you so much.
Speaker #3: Are you having conversations with other Middle East nations? Could you provide some color on the production level of the C390 and how you see it ramping up as more orders come in?
Guilherme Paiva: The next question comes from the chat and is from Joanna Bailey. How does the UAE's C-390 order help you get a foot in the door in the Middle East? Are you having conversations with other Middle East nations? Could you provide some color on the production level of the C-390 and how you see it ramping up as more orders come in?

Are you having conversations with other Middle East nations? Could you provide some color on the production level of the C-390 and how you see it ramping up as more orders come in?
Speaker #5: Yeah. All right, Joanna. Good question. Yes, we do see opportunities to sell the KC-29 to more customers in the region because of this important order of UAE.
Speaker #5: And yes, we are working we are talking to other customers at this point of time. Yeah, the third question. Yeah, the production leveling is included the KC-29 as well.
Francisco Gomes Neto: All right, Joanna, good question. Yes, we do see opportunities to sell the KC-390 to more customers in the region because of this important order of UAE. Yes, we are talking to other customers at this point of time. The third question, the production leveling includes the KC-390 as well. It is a more complex product, complex aircraft. We have been able to reduce both the production lead time of the aircraft and to improve the production distribution of the aircraft, I mean, throughout the year. The challenge is bigger than the other ones because of the supply chain, we are seeing good progress.
Francisco Neto: All right, Joanna, good question. Yes, we do see opportunities to sell the KC-390 to more customers in the region because of this important order of UAE.

The challenge is bigger than the other ones because of the supply chain, we are seeing good progress. We are seeing good progress as we are seeing with the E-Jets and executive jets as well.
Speaker #5: It is a more complex product, complex aircraft. But we have been able to reduce both the production lead time of the aircraft and to improve the production distribution of the aircraft I mean, throughout the year.
Speaker #5: It's the challenges is bigger than the other ones. Because of the supply chain, but we are seeing good progress. We are seeing good progress as we are seeing with eJets and executive jets as well.
Speaker #3: Thank you, sir. The next question also comes from the chat. And. From Molly McMillan. Please talk about the demand environment for business jets and whether the war with Iran has created any hesitation or hesitations or impact.
Francisco Gomes Neto: We are seeing good progress as we are seeing with the E-Jets and executive jets as well.
Guilherme Paiva: Thank you, sir. The next question also comes from the chat and is from Molly McMillin with Aviation Week. Could you please talk about the demand environment for business jets and whether the war with Iran has created any hesitation or hesitations or impact? Also, could you please talk about the tariffs when it comes to business jets? How much of an impact does that have on demand? Thank you.
Operator: Thank you, sir. The next question also comes from the chat and is from Molly McMillin with Aviation Week.

Speaker #3: And also, could you please talk about the tariffs when it comes to business jets? How much of an impact does that have on demand?
Speaker #3: Thank you.
Speaker #5: All right. Thanks for the question. Well, we are not seeing impact so far. With that might affect the sales of our business jets. Demand is still strong for our business jets.
Francisco Gomes Neto: All right. Thanks. Thanks for the question. Well, we are not seeing impact so far with that might affect the sales of our business jets.
