MATERIAL FACT

 

 

São José dos Campos, July 29, 2016 – Embraer S.A. (NYSE: ERJ; BM&F BOVESPA: EMBR3) announces that it has revised its Executive Jet deliveries, Total Revenue, Revenue for Executive Jets and Other Segments, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow guidance for 2016. Adjusted values exclude the impact of a US$ 200 million loss contingency booked in 2Q16 related to the allegations of non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Business conditions in the executive jets industry have proven to be more difficult than expected thus far in 2016, with continued pressure on new jet sales from high levels of used jet inventories and a highly competitive environment. In response, the Company has adopted a more cautious approach to 2016 executive jet delivery targets, now expecting 70 – 80 light jets and 35 – 45 large jets (from 75 – 85 and 40 – 50 previously).

 

As a result of lower executive jet deliveries, the Company now expects revenues in the Executive Jets segment to end 2016 within US$ 1.60 – US$ 1.75 billion (from US$ 1.75 – US$ 1.90 billion previously). With this impact combined with a US$ 50 million revenue reduction in the Other businesses segment as a result of a challenging business environment in Brazil, consolidated revenues for the year are now expected to stay within the range of US$ 5.8 – US$ 6.2 billion, a reduction from the previous range of US$ 6.0 – US$ 6.4 billion. With respect to Commercial Aviation as well as Defense & Security segments, Embraer’s revenues and delivery outlook remain unchanged.

 

 

2016 - DELIVERIES OUTLOOK
  PREVIOUS   CURRENT  
Commercial Aviation   105   -   110   105   -   110  
Executive Jets - Light jets   75   -   85   70   -   80  
Executive Jets - Large jets   40   -   50   35   -   45  

 

2016 - NET REVENUES OUTLOOK (US$ BILLION)
  PREVIOUS   CURRENT  
Commercial Aviation   $3.45   -   $3.65   $3.45   -   $3.65  
Executive Jets   $1.75   -   $1.90   $1.60   -   $1.75  
Defense & Security   $0.70   -   $0.75   $0.70   -   $0.75  
Others   $0.10   -   $0.10   $0.05   -   $0.05  
EMBRAER   $6.00   -   $6.40   $5.80   -   $6.20  

 

Given lower fixed cost dilution in the Executive Jet segment, Embraer’s guidance for consolidated Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT margin are now US$ 405-500 million (from US$ 480-545 million) and 7.0-8.0% (from 8.0-8.5%), respectively. Guidance for

 


 
 

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for 2016 are also reduced to US$ 735-840 million (from US$ 800-870 million) and 12.7-13.5% (from 13.3-13.7%), respectively.

 

2016 - ADJUSTED EBIT & EBITDA OUTLOOK (US$ MILLION)  
  PREVIOUS   CURRENT  
EBIT   $480   - $545   $405   -  $500  
EBIT Margin   8.0% -   8.5%   7.0%   -  8.0%  
EBITDA   $800   -   $870   $735   -  $840  
EBITDA Margin   13.3% -   13.7%   12.7%   -  13.5%  

 

 

In addition, as a consequence of the lower expected deliveries of Executive Jets in 2016 and current production schedules for the remainder of the year, the Company expects to carry additional finished goods inventory into 2017, thus driving a reduction of Free Cash Flow generation this year. Revised Guidance for 2016 Free Cash Flow is now for usage of no more than US$ 400 million, compared to previous Guidance of Free Cash Flow usage of no more than US$ 100 million previously. This revised Free Cash Flow outlook does not include any potential cash payments related to the loss contingency.

 

2016 - FREE CASH FLOW OUTLOOK
  PREVIOUS   CURRENT  
Free Cash Flow   > (US$ 100) million   > (US$ 400) million  

 

It is important to note that Embraer will work to recover profitability in its Executive Jets segment in future quarters, adjusting costs and production to current demand levels. The Company’s 2016 Guidance for total investments remains unchanged: Research expenses of US$ 50 million, Development of US$ 325 million, and CAPEX of US$ 275 million.
