1 EBIT, EBITDA, and their respective margins are non-GAAP measures. For more detailed information please refer to page 10.
2 Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure, calculated by adding Net Income attributable to Embraer Shareholders plus Deferred income tax and social contribution for the period. Furthermore, under IFRS for Embraer’s Income Tax benefits (expenses) the Company is required to record taxes resulting from unrealized gains or losses due to the impact of the changes in the Real to US Dollar exchange rate over non-monetary assets (primarily Inventory, Intangibles, and PP&E). It is important to note that taxes resulting from gains or losses over non-monetary assets are considered deferred taxes and are accounted for in the Company’s consolidated Cash Flow statement, under Deferred income tax and social contribution, which totaled US$ 38.0 million in 4Q14, US$ (47.7) million in 1Q14, and US$ 110.0 million in 1Q15.

São José dos Campos, Brazil, April 30, 2015 - (BM&FBOVESPA: EMBR3, NYSE: ERJ). The Company’s operating and financial information is presented, except where otherwise stated, on a consolidated basis in United States dollars (US$) in accordance with IFRS. The financial data presented in this document as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 (1Q14), December 31, 2014 (4Q14) and March 31, 2015 (1Q15), are derived from the unaudited financial statements, except where otherwise stated.

REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN

Embraer delivered a total of 20 commercial and 12 executive aircraft (10 light jets and 2 large jets) in 1Q15, compared to a total of 14 commercial and 20 executive aircraft (17 light jets and 3 large jets) in 1Q14. Revenues in 1Q15 totaled US$1,055.9 million, representing a decline of 15% versus 1Q14, due to lower deliveries in Executive Jets and a year-over-year decrease in Defense & Security, partially offset by a revenue increase of 19% in Commercial Aviation. Despite lower revenues, the Company’s gross margin increased from 21.6% in 1Q14 to 23.7% in 1Q15 due to a combination of higher deliveries in Commercial Aviation, a more favorable foreign exchange rate environment, and production efficiency gains on E175 deliveries. These effects more than offset lower fixed cost dilution in Defense & Security and Executive Jets.

EBIT

In 1Q15, the Company generated EBIT of US$ 79.6 million, with an EBIT margin of 7.5%, compared to the US$92.1 million in EBIT and 7.4% EBIT margin reported in 1Q14. Despite improved gross margin in 1Q15 relative to the same period in the prior year, the decline in revenues in the quarter led to lower dilution of fixed operating expenses. Administrative expenses totaled US$43.2 million in 1Q15, which was a decline from the US$47.5 million reported in 1Q14, demonstrating the Company’s ongoing commitment to cost efficiency. Selling expenses also declined compared to last year’s quarter, at US$ 86.1 million in 1Q15 compared to US$92.4 million in 1Q14, due to cost control as well as a lower level of revenues reported in the quarter. Research expense of US$7.4 million in 1Q15 was lower than the US$9.3 million of research expense booked in 1Q14. Other operating income (expense), net in 1Q15 was an expense of US$33.9 million compared to an expense of US$ 27.6 million in 1Q14, with the year-over-year increase mainly due to lower contractual fines related to cancellations.

A more favorable exchange rate also contributed to the decrease in Administrative, Selling, and Research expenses in 1Q15, considering that the average Brazilian Real to U.S. dollar exchange rate in 1Q15 depreciated 21% compared to the same period of 2014.

NET RESULTS

Net loss attributable to Embraer and Loss per basic ADS for 1Q15 were US$ (61.7) million and US$ (0.3370), respectively. Net margin was negative 5.8% in 1Q15 compared to positive 8.9% in 1Q14, largely due to income tax expenses of US$118.0 million in 1Q15 compared to income tax gains of US$17.7 million in 1Q14. The increase in income tax expense is mostly a result of foreign exchange variation from the beginning to the end of 1Q15, in which the Real depreciated 21%, generating non-cash deferred income tax expense on non-monetary assets.

Adjusted Net Income, excluding the deferred income tax and social contribution expense, was US$48.3 million in 1Q15, representing an Adjusted Net margin of 4.6% for the quarter.

MONETARY BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS AND OTHER MEASURES

Embraer ended 1Q15 with a net debt position of US$ 581.3 million compared to a net debt position of US$ 84.5 million at the end of 2014 and a net cash position of US$ 52.7 million at the end of 1Q14. The decline in the Company’s net cash position during 1Q15 of US$ 496.8 million is largely a consequence of negative Free cash flow in the quarter.

3  Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. The Company calculates Free cash flow taking into account mainly investments in PP&E, product development expenditures, which are recorded under Intangible, and changes in short-term investments (Financial investments). It´s important to mention that Operating cash flow does not include the cash invested in product development. It includes changes in Financial investments which do not represent changes in the Company’s net cash position since additions or reductions in Financial investments reflect changes in the maturity profile of the Company’s short-term investments and, as a consequence, do not represent increases or decreases in the Company’s Free cash flow. Additionally, Operating cash flow includes changes in court-mandated escrow deposits, which in its essence is not operational cash and shall be disregarded for Free cash flow calculation purposes. Therefore, Embraer’s free cash flow is represented by the operating cash flow adjusted by Net additions to property, plant and equipment (PP&E), Addition to intangible assets, Other assets and Financial investments.

Defense & Security segment. These expenditures are included in the terms and conditions of their respective contracts and consequently are not considered part of the Company’s CAPEX Outlook of US$ 300 million for 2015. This contracted CAPEX totaled US$ 6.5 million in 1Q15, as outlined in the table below. Excluding these expenditures, the Company’s CAPEX for 1Q15 was US$ 72.3 million, in line with the Outlook for the year. Net additions to PP&E for 1Q15 were US$ 57.3 million, as the Company generated proceeds from sale of PP&E of US$ 36.1 million in the period.

In 1Q15, Embraer invested a total of US$ 90.9 million in product development, which was partially offset by the addition of US$ 63.8 million in contributions from suppliers. These supplier contributions are primarily related to the development of the E-Jets E2 program in the Commercial Aviation segment. As Development investments are expected to ramp-up for the remainder of 2015, the Company’s total Development investment net of supplier contributions in 2015 should be in line with its US$ 300 million Outlook for the year. The following tables outline the detailed investments in PP&E and R&D for the periods indicated.

The Company’s total debt decreased from US$ 2,508.1 million at the end of 4Q14 to US$ 2,389.3 million at the end of 1Q15, due to a US$ 289.6 million decrease in long-term loans while short-term loans increased by US$ 170.8 million. The average loan maturity of debt at the end of 1Q15 was 5.3 years, in line with the Company’s business cycle.

The cost of Dollar denominated loans remained stable during the quarter at 5.56% per year. The cost of Real denominated loans increased from 6.01% to 6.12% per year, due to the general rise in interest rates in the Brazilian economy. The Company’s EBITDA over the last 12 months (EBITDA LTM) to financial expenses (gross) through 1Q15 was 5.87 compared to 6.01 through 4Q14. At the end of 1Q15, 31% of total debt was denominated in Reals.

Embraer’s cash allocation strategy is one of its most important tools to mitigate exchange rate risks. By balancing cash allocation in Real and Dollar denominated assets, the Company attempts to reduce its balance sheet exchange rate exposure. Of total cash and equivalents at the end of 1Q15, 41% was denominated in US Dollars.

Complementing its strategy to mitigate exchange rate risks, the Company entered into certain financial hedges in order to reduce its 2015 cash flow exposure. The Company’s cash flow exposure is due to the fact that approximately 15% of its net revenues are denominated in Reals and approximately 25% of total costs are denominated in Reals. Having more Real denominated costs than revenues generates this cash flow exposure. For 2015, around 55% of the Company’s Real cash flow exposure is hedged if the US Dollar depreciates below an average rate floor of R$ 2.30. For exchange rates above this level, the Company will benefit up to an average exchange rate cap of R$ 3.39.

The Company’s inventories increased US$ 290.8 million from the end of 4Q14 to US$ 2,696.1 million at the end of 1Q15, primarily due to the normal seasonal pattern of investment in inventory in preparation for higher expected delivery levels in the remainder of the year, as well as some inventory build due to the production ramp up of new executive jet models. Trade accounts receivable increased US$ 55.6 million from the end of 4Q14 to end 1Q15 at US$ 759.4 million, reflecting extended payment cycles by some clients, particularly in the Defense & Security segment. Trade accounts payable increased US$ 36.1 million to end 1Q15 at US$ 1,016.7 million, and Advances from customers declined US$ 27.6 million to end the period at US$ 801.0 million.

Intangibles increased by US$ 6.2 million from the end of 4Q14 to US$ 1,267.1 million at the end of 1Q15 as a consequence of investments in product development, combined with the receipt of contributions from suppliers to the Company’s ongoing development programs as well as amortization in the period. Property, plant and equipment decreased by US$ 20.5 million to US$ 2,005.3 million at the end of 1Q15 given the Company’s spending on additions to PP&E combined with depreciation and fixed asset sales.

SEGMENT RESULTS

The Commercial Aviation segment represented 62.7% of consolidated Revenues in 1Q15, up from the 44.7% in 1Q14 as Revenues in the segment grew 19% in 1Q15 compared to the same period last year. The participation of Executive Jets, Defense & Security, and Other businesses Revenues as a percentage of consolidated 1Q15 Revenues was 15.8%, 20.2% and 1.3%, respectively, down from 21.5%, 31.8%, and 2.0% in the prior year period. The decline of the participation of the Executive Jets, Defense & Security, and Other business segments as a percentage of total Embraer Revenues was due to lower year-over-year Revenues in each of these three segments.

During the first quarter of 2015, Embraer announced a firm order for 15 E175s and two E190s from KLM Cityhopper, KLM’s regional subsidiary. The contract for the 17 E-Jets also includes an option for 17 additional E-Jets for KLM Cityhopper or Air France regional subsidiary HOP! The firm order has an estimated value of US$ 764 million based on Embraer’s list price. The transaction could reach US$ 1.5 billion, if all options are exercised.

Also in this period, Embraer and Republic Airways Holdings Inc., operator of the largest E-Jet fleet in the world, signed an order for five new E175 jets. The contract has an estimated value of US$ 222 million, based on Embraer’s list price. The aircraft are expected to be delivered in mid- 2016. This order of five E-Jets is in addition to the previous two orders for E175s placed by Republic in January 2013, for 47 firm aircraft, and in September 2014, for 50 firm aircraft. Apart from this new order, Republic maintains 32 options for the E175.

In February, Embraer delivered to American Airlines the first of 60 firm-order E175 jets under the contract signed between the two companies in December 2013. The contract also included options for another 90 E175s, taking the total order potential to 150 aircraft. American Airlines selected Compass Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trans States Holdings, to operate the first 20 E175 aircraft under the American Eagle brand.

Embraer also announced that two Embraer E195s started operations with Kalstar Aviation, a regional operator based in the Indonesian province of Kalimantan on Borneo Island. The two aircraft are being sourced from Aldus Aviation, from Ireland.

In the segment of commercial jets with 70 to 130 seats, Embraer maintains its leadership with more than 50% of the sales and 60% of the deliveries on the world market.

In February 2015, Embraer delivered the first Legacy 500 executive jet to a client in Australia. The aircraft is now certified by the US, Brazilian, European and Australian aviation authorities.

The Legacy 500 was also recognized within the aviation community during 1Q15. The midsize jet was elected by Flying magazine editors as the “2014 Editors’ Choice Award”. The aircraft was also classified as a finalist for two important industry awards: the Business Aviation category of the “Laureate Award”, promoted by Aviation Week magazine, as well as the “Collier Trophy”, promoted by the National Aeronautic Association, which is awarded annually for the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America.

In March 2015 Embraer Executive Jets celebrated the one year anniversary of its Sorocaba Service Center and FBO (Fixed Base Operator), in Brazil. The Service Center has a total area of 216,000 sq ft and two hangars, one dedicated to maintenance, repair and overhaul and the other to support the operation of business aircraft.

The program development for the Legacy 450 jet continues to advance and entry into service is expected in the fourth quarter of 2015.

DEFENSE & SECURITY

Embraer Defense & Security, directly or through its subsidiaries, is currently leading several projects that are important to Brazil, such as the development of the KC-390 medium lift military transport jet, the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON) and systems integration of the Brazilian Strategic and Defense Communications Geostationary Satellite (SGDC).

Also, the Company continues to develop a series of campaigns for a variety of applications in its product portfolio, which includes military transportation, pilot training and light attack aircraft; transportation for government and military authorities; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems; remote sensing and monitoring; aircraft modernization; and command and control systems and services.

On February 3rd the KC-390 Program successfully performed the first fight of the prototype aircraft. On its maiden flight, the KC-390 crew performed maneuvers to evaluate its flight characteristics and conducted a variety of systems tests, having benefited from an advanced campaign of simulations and extensive ground tests.

The Light Air Support (LAS) program, of the United States Air Force, received two A-29 Super Tucanos in the first quarter of 2015, bringing the total number of aircraft already delivered to five.

In March, Visiona Tecnologia Espacial, the company responsible for the systems integration of the Brazilian Strategic and Defense Communications Geostationary Satellite, concluded and delivered the final report of its Critical Design Review to Telebras.

SEC/DOJ INVESTIGATIONS UPDATE

The Company received in September, 2010 a subpoena from the SEC and associated inquiries from the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, concerning possible non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in relation to certain aircraft sales outside of Brazil. In response, the Company retained outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation of sales in three countries.

In light of additional information, the Company voluntarily expanded the scope of the internal investigation to include sales in other countries, reported on these matters to the SEC and the DOJ and otherwise cooperated with them. The U.S. government inquiries, related inquiries and developments in other countries and the Company’s internal investigation are continuing. Any action in these or related inquiries, proceedings or other developments, or any agreement the Company enters into to settle the same, may result in substantial fines and other sanctions and adverse consequences. Based upon the opinion of its outside counsel, the Company believes that there is no adequate basis at this time for estimating accruals or quantifying any contingency with respect to these matters.

In light of the above, we embarked on a comprehensive effort to improve and expand our compliance program worldwide. This multi-year task involved reexamining every aspect of our compliance systems, and where appropriate, redesigning or adding to them. Some of the key enhancements include the creation of a Compliance Department, the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer reporting directly to the Risk and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the development of a program to monitor engagement of and payments to third parties, improvements to compliance policies, procedure and controls, the enhancement of anonymous and other reporting channels, and the development of a comprehensive training and education program designed to maintain and reinforce a strong compliance culture at all levels of Embraer globally. The Company will continue to promote enhancements and update its compliance program.

*Last Twelve Months

We define Free cash flow as operating cash flow net of financial investments adjustment, less Net additions to property, plant and equipment, Additions to intangible assets, and Other assets. Free cash flow is not an accounting measure under IFRS. Free cash flow is presented because it is used internally as a measure for evaluating certain aspects of our business. The Company also believes that some investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring Embraer’s cash position. Free cash flow should not be considered as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or as a measure of its cash flow as reported under IFRS. In addition, Free cash flow should not be interpreted as a measure of residual cash flow available to the Company for discretionary expenditures, since the Company may have mandatory debt service requirements or other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. Other companies in the industry may calculate Free cash flow differently from Embraer for purposes of their earnings releases, thus limiting its usefulness for comparing Embraer to other companies in the industry.

EBITDA LTM represents earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization accumulated over a period of the last 12 months. It is not a financial measure of the Company’s financial performance under IFRS. EBIT as mentioned in this press release refers to earnings before interest and taxes, and for purposes of reporting is the same as that reported on the Income Statement as Operating Profit before Financial Income.

EBIT and EBITDA are presented because they are used internally as measures to evaluate certain aspects of the business. The Company also believes that some investors find them to be useful tools for measuring a Company’s financial performance. EBIT and EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, as reported under IFRS. Other companies in the industry may calculate EBIT and EBITDA differently from Embraer for the purposes of their earnings releases, limiting EBIT and EBITDA’s usefulness as comparative measures.

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure, calculated by adding Net Income attributable to Embraer Shareholders plus Deferred Income tax and social contribution for the period. Furthermore, under IFRS for purposes of calculating Embraer’s Income Tax benefits (expenses), the Company is required to record taxes resulting from gains or losses due to the impact of the changes in the Real to the US Dollar exchange rate over non-monetary assets (primarily Inventories, Intangibles, and PP&E). It is important to note that taxes resulting from gains or losses over non-monetary assets are considered deferred taxes and are accounted for in the Company’s consolidated Cash Flow statement, under Deferred income tax and social contribution.

This document may contain projections, statements and estimates regarding circumstances or events yet to take place. Those projections and estimates are based largely on current expectations, forecasts of future events and financial trends that affect Embraer’s businesses. Those estimates are subject to risks, uncertainties and suppositions that include, among others: general economic, political and trade conditions in Brazil and in those markets where Embraer does business; expectations of industry trends; the Company’s investment plans; its capacity to develop and deliver products on the dates previously agreed upon, and existing and future governmental regulations. The words “believe”, “may”, “is able”, “will be able”, “intend”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “expect” and other similar terms are intended to identify potentialities. Embraer does not undertake any obligation to publish updates nor to revise any estimates due to new information, future events or any other facts. In view of the inherent risks and uncertainties, such estimates, events and circumstances may not take place. The actual results may therefore differ substantially from those previously published as Embraer expectations.
