2.Information and Guidelines for Attendance at the Meetings

 

2.1.          Voting at the Meetings

The attendance of Shareholders at the AEGM is of great importance. Each common share will be entitled to one vote on the resolutions of the Meetings, subject to the following limits set forth in the Company's Bylaws:

a)No shareholder, or Shareholder Group (as defined below), Brazilian or foreign, may cast votes in excess of 5% of the shares of the Company's capital stock, pursuant to article 4, item III, "a", of the Company's Bylaws; and;
b)The Foreign Shareholders (as defined below) and Foreign Shareholder Groups (as defined below) may not cast votes in excess of 2/3 of the total votes that may be exercised by the Brazilian Shareholders (as defined below) in attendance, pursuant to article 4, item III, "b", of the Company's Bylaws.

The above limitations apply, jointly and successively, to Foreign Shareholders and Foreign Shareholder Groups.

The votes of the Brazilian Shareholders and the Foreign Shareholders on the resolutions of the Meetings will be counted separately. To that end, the Chairman of the Meeting shall, upon becoming Chairman, determine and communicate the total number of votes that may be cast by the Brazilian Shareholders and by the Foreign Shareholders, observing the voting limits set forth in the Company's Bylaws. If the total number of votes of the Foreign Shareholders exceeds 2/3 of the votes that may be cast by the Brazilian Shareholders, the number of votes of each Foreign Shareholder, including those received by means of remote voting ballot (boletim de voto à distância) sent directly to the Company or through a third party, shall be proportionately reduced by the percentage of such excess, so that the total number of votes of the Foreign Shareholders does not exceed the limit of 40% the votes that may be cast in the Meetings.

For the purposes of enforcing the restriction on the maximum number of votes allocated to each shareholder, you must consider the following definitions set forth in Embraer's Bylaws:

Shareholder Group – Shareholder Groups are two or more shareholders: (i) that are parties to a voting agreement, either directly or through companies that are subsidiaries, parent companies or companies under common control; (ii) where one shareholder is, directly or indirectly, a controlling shareholder or a controlling parent company of the other shareholder or shareholders; (iii) that are companies directly or indirectly controlled by the same person, or group of persons, who may or may not be shareholders themselves; or (iv) that are companies, associations, foundations, cooperatives and trusts, investment funds or portfolios, universal rights or any other form of organization or undertaking with the same administrators or managers, or, whose administrators or managers are companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by the same person, or group of persons, which may or may not be shareholders.

As for investment funds, only those with a common administrator whose investment and voting policy at General Meetings, under the terms of the respective regulations, is the responsibility of the administrator, on a discretionary basis, are considered to be part of a Shareholder Group.

Holders of securities issued under the Company's Depositary Receipts program are not considered a Shareholder Group, unless they meet any of the criteria set forth in items (i) through (iv) above.

Any shareholders or Shareholder Groups represented by the same proxy, administrator or representative shall be considered members of the same Shareholder Group at the Meetings, except for holders of securities issued under the Company's Depositary Receipts program, when represented by their respective Depositary Bank.

 
 

In the event of shareholders' agreements that provides for voting rights, all signatories thereto shall be considered members of the same Shareholder Group for purposes of limiting the number of votes as described above.

Foreign Shareholder Group – A Shareholder Group shall be considered to be a foreign group whenever one or more of its members is a Foreign Shareholder.

Brazilian Shareholders – The following are Brazilian Shareholders: (i) individuals born or naturalized in Brazil, residing in Brazil or abroad; (ii) legal entities organized under Brazilian private law and having their management based in Brazil, and which: a) have no foreign controlling shareholder or foreign parent company, unless the latter falls under letter "b" of this definition; b) are controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more individuals referred to in item (i) of this definition; and (iii) investment funds or clubs organized under the laws of Brazil and having their management based in Brazil and whose administrators and/or majority unitholders are persons referred to in items (i) and (ii) of this definition.

Foreign Shareholders – Foreign Shareholders are individuals, legal entities, investment funds or clubs and any other entities not included in the definition of Brazilian Shareholders, and those that fail to prove that they meet the requirements to be registered as Brazilian Shareholders, pursuant to paragraph 2 of article 10 of the Company's Bylaws.

We emphasize that any shareholder, or shareholder group, that does not comply with the legal deadline to nominate a slate of candidates on the remote voting ballot (boletim de voto à distância) and wishes to nominate an alternative slate for the Fiscal Council, shall notify Embraer in this regard, in writing, up to ten (10) days before the Meetings, setting forth the information related to the candidates included in items 7.3 to 7.6 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência), pursuant to article 11 of RCVM 81, as well as the name, identification and professional curriculum of each candidate, attaching to the notice an instrument signed by each candidate confirming his or her acceptance to run for election. Embraer shall publish, within eight (8) days before the Meetings, a notice informing shareholders where they can find the list of all proposed candidates and a copy of their identification and professional curriculum.

Each shareholder may only vote for one slate of candidates and the candidates in the slate who receive the highest number of votes at the Meetings shall be declared elected.

The Company cannot predict the outcome of the elections, nor does it have information about the candidates that may be proposed during the Meetings. If you wish to participate in such discussions, we recommend that you attend the Meetings in order to analyze and judge the candidates that may be considered at the Meetings.

 

2.2.Participation through electronic remote participation system in the Meetings

The Meetings will be held exclusively by digital means, and, for this purpose, the Company shall provide an electronic remote participation system (Microsoft Teams) that will enable shareholders to participate, voice their opinion and vote in the Meetings without being physically present.

The shareholder shall also inform the email address by which instructions for participating in the Meetings shall be sent.

According to the financial statements ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded net income of R$ 783,558,935.21.

The Board of Directors resolved to submit the following proposal for allocation of the net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, at the Annual General Meeting: Considering the lack of legal and statutory profit reserves, management proposes that the profit for the fiscal year in the total amount of R$ 783.558.935,21 be recorded as “Retained Losses” in the Company’s Shareholders' Equity.

14 
 

slate of candidates proposed by the Fiscal Council is set forth in Annex III hereto, in compliance with article 11 of RCVM 81.

 

4.4.          Set the aggregate annual compensation of the Company's Management

Pursuant to article 18, item IV of the Company's Bylaws, the Annual General Meeting must set the aggregate annual amount to be distributed among the members of the Company's management.

In order to ensure that the amounts of the aggregate compensation include the amounts set forth in item 8 of the Brazilian Annual Report, the Company includes in the aggregate compensation the costs related to the stock-based compensation offered to the members of management.

The annual aggregate limit proposed by the Board of Directors as compensation for members of the Company's management is R$ 80 million for the period between May 2024 and April 2025.

The Company estimates that the amount effectively realized in the period from May 2024 to April 2025 will be approximately R$ 54 million. The difference between the total amount approved and the amount actually spent is mainly due to the non-use of the maximum amount allocated to stock-based compensation. Such compensation is based on the highest market value that the Company's shares could reach in the period.

 

Finally, it should be noted that the amount subject to approval refers to the period between May 2024 and April 2025, while item 8.2 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência) reflects the period between January and December 2024.

Pursuant to article 13, item II, of RCVM 81, the Company provides the information indicated in item 8 of the Brazilian Annual Report in Annex IV to this Manual.

 

4.5.          Set the compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council

Pursuant to Embraer's Bylaws, the compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council is set by the General Meeting that elects them, in compliance with the legal requirements and limits, considering their experience, training and reputation.

Pursuant to article 162, § 3, of Law No. 6,404/76, the compensation of each member of the Fiscal Council cannot be lower than 10% of the compensation that, on average, is assigned to each Officer, excluding benefits, representation funds and profit sharing.

Therefore, Embraer's Board of Directors proposes a monthly compensation for the Chairman of the Fiscal Council in the amount of R$ 23,166.39, and an individual compensation in the amount of R$ 17,871.21 for the other members of the Fiscal Council for the period between May 2024 and April 2025, subject to the requirements set forth in article 162, § 3, of Law No. 6,404/76 (the compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council cannot be lower, for each member in office, than 10% of the compensation that, on average, is assigned to each Officer, excluding benefits, representation funds and profit sharing).

Annex I MANAGEMENT'S CONSIDERATIONS

Information set forth in art. 10, item III, of RCVM 81)

 

2.1 - General Financial Position

The assessment and opinions included herein reflect the views and perceptions of our executive officers about our activities, business and performance. The amounts included in this item 2.1 derive from our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the company's current expectations and that involve risks and uncertainties. Future results and the timing of events may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, other matters set forth in this Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

The financial information included in items 2.1 to 2.11 may be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and notes thereto. The company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee ("CPC"), approved by the Brazilian Securities Commission ("CVM"), and also in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

After analyzing Embraer's operations and business, management has concluded that the US dollar ("USD" or "dollar") is its functional currency. The context was given by analyzing the economic environment in which the company finds itself and, consequently, the currency included in this context, since this currency influences the prices of goods and services, the competing forces and regulations of its country of origin, the costs of supplying products and services and raising or receiving financial resources.

In the Commercial Aviation segment, the extensive traffic disruption caused by COVID affected our customer’s operations throughout the world. While global commercial airline traffic volume in 2023 recovered to 97% of 2019 levels by December 2023, as showed in the Air Passenger Market Analysis report published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), we are still below our pre-COVID commercial aircraft delivery rate.

The primary constraint to achieve pre-COVID figures lies on the supply chain disruptions which affected our industry on a larger scale as an effect of the pandemic, and which impact

 
18 
 

our suppliers ability to deliver parts and goods to us in a timely manner, consequently affecting our delivery schedule. Supply chain constrains impacted our growth, despite the deliveries increase compared to latest years, with the delivery of 64 aircraft in 2023, but it  was below our guidance. To recover from the shortage of supply, we are actively discussing ways to ensure the ability to deliver the negotiated volumes with our suppliers. 

Additionality, the shortage of pilots in United States is expected to continue affecting the delivery pipeline for our E175 Program at least for the next year. Most industry stakeholders, including us and some of our airline customers, expect a normalization around 2025.

In 2023, the Executive Aviation segment continued to witness the impacts of a globally disrupted supply chain, which is a repercussion from the pandemic that has affected the aviation industry on a larger scale. Despite the ongoing efforts throughout the industry to mitigate discontinuities in supply, it still has imposed significant challenges to increase production levels and provide availability of parts to fleet maintenance. The situation has been progressively improving as we continue to closely monitor these risks and control the supply chain, in order to improve future predictability. In 2023, albeit we did not reach the expected executive aircraft deliveries, we had one of the largest growths in the industry in that regard, an increase of 13% in deliveries compared to the previous year, reaching 115 units.

On Defense & Security segment, in light of the current geopolitical scenario, there was an increase in the global defense spending which increased our customers base and impacted our Defense & Security segment. We are well positioned to provide highly effective solutions, creating sales opportunities for our Defense & Security segment, especially in the areas of aircraft platforms, critical software, command, control, communications and intelligence (C4I) and sensors in all domains (air, sea, land, space and cybersecurity). Moreover, in 2023, our C-390 Millennium program has gained a good sales momentum considering the contract signed with South Korea and its selection by Austria and the Czech Republic. In addition, as the global fleet of military tactical transport aircraft reaches its retirement age, we expect the C-390 Millennium to capture a sizable share of the replacement market for these aircraft.

In Services & Support segment, given our business's expansion and diversified fleet that reaches various customer profiles, coupled with the increasing demand for services as the fleet ages, the Services & Support business unit is well-positioned for profitability over the next several years. Services & Support segment’s revenue growth, constitutes approximately 30% of the total Embraer group, with a 7.4% CAGR over the last 6 years, which indicates its significance and high-growth nature within Embraer.  

 
19 
 

The reliance on long-term contracts, active maintenance events, parts sales, and training contributes to revenue stability. Factors like the renewal rate on contracts, favorable margin, and stable non-backlog revenue from maintenance and training enhance sustained profitability. Also, OGMA provides multi-brand diversification with MRO and repair services for both Embraer and non-Embraer customers, which further strengthens the business's competitiveness.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

Net Revenue

In 2023, Embraer delivered 181 aircraft, 64 commercial aircraft, 115 executive aircraft (74 light jets and 41 medium jets) and 2 military aircraft, 13% above the 160 aircraft delivered in the previous year, which generated net revenue of R$ 26,110.5 million (US$ 5,268.5 million), 11% higher than the R$ 23,448.8 million (US$ 4,540.4 million) generated in 2022, all business units saw growth in revenues and volumes compared to the previous year, with the Defense & Security segment standing out with an increase in the volume of the C-390, followed by an increase in Commercial Aviation deliveries.

In 2023, net revenue for the Commercial Aviation business reached R$ 9,135.4 million, 15% higher than the R$ 7,976.5 million in 2022, due to the higher number of deliveries and the product mix. The Executive Aviation business had revenue of R$ 6,937.2 million, and grew by 8% when compared to R$ 6,433.9 million in 2022, the growth is mainly due to an increase in volumes. Net revenue from the Defense & Security business was R$ 2,567.3 million, 21% higher than the R$ 2,129.9 million in 2022, and this variation is mainly due to greater revenue recognition from the C-390 aircraft. The Services & Support business generated R$ 6,532.9 million in revenue, which is 8% higher when compared to R$ 6,104.6 million in 2022. Revenues from other businesses were R$ 397.7 million in 2023, a 6% growth compared to R$375.6 million in 2022.

Cost of products sold and services rendered

In 2023, the cost of goods sold and services rendered was R$ 21,607.1 million, representing an increase of 15% compared to R$ 18,738.8 million in 2022, due to the higher volume of deliveries and product mix compared to 2022.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Due to the product mix with lower profitability and non-recurring tax benefits, the company's gross profit reached R$ 4,503.4 million and was 4% lower than the R$ 4,710.0 million recorded in 2022. The gross margin for the period was 17.2%, down from 20.1% in the previous period. This variation is due to the product mix and non-recurring tax benefits.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

In 2023, commercial expenses rose 11% compared to the previous year and amounted to R$ 1,416.1 million. Administrative expenses grew 7%, totalling R$ 1,022.5 million. Both followed the growth in turnover, accounting for 4% and 6% of revenue respectively in 2022 and 2023.

Research Expenses

Research expenses in 2023 saw a 20% reduction when compared to 2022, totaling R$ 452.8 million. This variation is mainly explained by the lower volume of projects by Embraer and activities by Eve (Embraer subsidiary in the pre-operational stage), since the costs related to their development began to be capitalized as intangible assets as the program reached sufficient maturity from the 3rd quarter of 2023.

Other Operating Income (Expenses)

The other net operating income (expenses) account totaled an expense of R$ 35.0 million in the year, a reduction of 98% compared to the previous year. This variation is mainly explained by results related to Eve, tax efficiencies in 2023 and higher corporate expenses in 2022.

 
30 
 

Operating Profit

In 2023, profit and operating margin (EBIT) were R$ 1,522.6 million and 5.8%, respectively, compared to the operating loss and operating margin (EBIT) of R$ (555.5) million and (2.4)%, respectively, in 2022. The variation in operating results for the year is also explained by the reasons mentioned above.

Financial income (expenses), net

In 2023, Embraer recorded net financial expenses of R$ 961.8 million, above the R$ 644.9 million recorded in 2022. This increase was mainly due to Eve's mark-to-market transactions (warrants).

The net monetary and exchange variations in 2023 were R$ 137.8 million, compared to the R$ 137.8 million in 2022.

Net income for the year

Embraer's net loss in 2023 was R$ (953.7) million, compared to a net loss of R$ (953.6) million in 2022. This variation is mainly explained by the recognition of non-cash expenses in the mark-to-market of Eve's options/warrants in the 2nd quarter of 2022, together with the improvement in the company's operating result.

Net Cash Generated in Operating Activities

In 2023, operating cash generation was positive at R$ 2,827.1 million, compared to the also positive generation of R$ 3,840.9 million in 2022, the main changes are due to the EVEX transaction accounts, suppliers and reduction in financial investments.

Net cash used in investing activities

In 2023, cash used in investing activities totaled R$ 594.6 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of R$ 790.1 million in 2022. The main variations between years were due to the lower volume of investment disposals and higher volume of fixed asset acquisitions in 2023.

Net cash used in financing activities

The volume of cash used in financing activities in 2023 was R$ 1,723.1 million, compared to the cash generated in financing activities of R$ 3,374.2 million in 2022, mainly influenced by the balance between new financing obtained and paid.

2.2 - Operating and Financial Results

(a)       Results of the issuer's operations, including (i) a description of any significant components of revenue and (ii) factors that materially affect the results of operations.

The main factors that affect the Company's revenue are (1) the volume of deliveries of commercial and executive aircraft; (2) the mix of deliveries between the E1 and E2 models for Commercial Aviation and between light and medium jets for Executive Aviation; (3) revenues from services regarding maintenance services of aircrafts, supply of parts and material, training, modifications, flight operation, technical and field support etc; (4)

 
33 
 

revenues from the Defense & Security segment; (5) exchange rate variation, with the US dollar as the company's functional currency; and (6) the entry into service of new products.

The charts below show the company's total revenue by business unit and geographic region. It should be noted that the Commercial Aviation segment accounts for most of the company's revenue, followed by Services & Support, Executive Aviation and Defense & Security. The North American market continues to account for the largest portion of Embraer's revenues, with a 62% share, stable compared to the previous year. This result is again due to the success of the various sales campaigns in the United States and Canada. In addition, in the Executive Aviation segment, this same market accounted for 75% of the total share of executive aircraft delivered in 2023. The Services & Support segment follows the behavior of Commercial and Executive Aviation, and maintains North America as the main revenue generator, accounting for just over 50% of its total. In the Defense & Security segment, revenues for the European continent accounted for approximately 60% of the total, thanks to the success of the C-390 in the region. Brazil's share of Embraer's total revenues fell from 11.1% in 2022 to 8.6% in 2023. The other regions (Latin America, Asia Pacific and others) accounted for 7.6% of total revenues.

 

Net Revenue by Segment

 

Net Revenue by Region

 

In 2023, adjusted EBIT was R$ 1,704.4 million and with a margin of 6.5%, and excludes special items that represent a total negative impact of R$ 181.8 million, divided as follows: 1) R$ (383.4) million with results related to Eve; partially compensated by: 2) R$ 179.0 million relating to the sale of assets and; 3) R$ 22.6 million in positive changes in the value of Embraer's share in Republic Airways Holdings.

 
34 
 

Research expenses in 2023 showed a reduction of 20% when compared to 2022, totaling R$452.8 million, this variation is mainly explained by the lower volume of Embraer projects and Eve activities, since the costs related to their development began to be capitalized as intangible assets as the program reached sufficient maturity in the 3rd quarter of 2023. Commercial expenses rose 11% compared to the previous year and reached R$ 1,569.5 million. Administrative expenses grew 7%, totalling R$ 1,022.5 million. Both followed the growth in turnover, accounting for 4% and 6% of revenue in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The other net operating income (expenses) account totaled an expense of R$ 35.0 million in the year, a reduction of 98% compared to the previous year. This variation is mainly explained by results related to Eve, tax efficiencies in 2023 and higher corporate expenses in 2022.

(b)        Variations in revenues attributable to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services

In 2023, Embraer delivered 181 aircraft, 13% more than the 160 aircraft delivered in the previous year, which generated net revenues of R$ 26,110.5 million (US$ 5,268.5 million), 11% more than the R$23,448.8 million (US$ 4,540.4 million) generated in 2022, all business units saw growth in revenues and volumes compared to the previous year, with the Defense & Security segment standing out with an increase in the volume of the C-390 followed by an increase in Commercial Aviation deliveries.

Due to the product mix with lower profitability and non-recurring tax benefits, the gross margin for the period was 17.2%, down from 20.1% in the previous period.

In 2023, net revenue for the Commercial Aviation business reached R$ 7,976.4 million, 15% higher than in 2022. Segment deliveries were 64 aircraft in 2023 and 57 aircraft in 2022.

The Executive Aviation business generated a revenue of R$ 6,434.0 million, an increase of 8% compared to the previous year. In 2023, 115 executive jets were delivered, of which 74 were light jets and 41 were medium jets. In 2022, 102 executive jets were delivered, of which 66 were light jets and 36 were medium jets, representing growth of approximately 13% per year.

Net revenue from the Defense & Security business was R$ 2,567.3 million, 21% higher than in 2022, this variation is mainly due to the greater recognition of revenue from the C-390. Two military C-390 aircraft were delivered in 2023 and one of the same model the previous year.

 
35 
 

The Services & Support business generated R$ 7,072.9 million in revenue, 8% more than in the previous year. This amount includes segment revenues for the Business Units: Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, Defense & Security; and agnostic services.

Revenues from other businesses were R$ 397.7 million in 2023, 6% higher than the previous year.

(c)       Material impact of inflation, variation in prices of the main inputs and products, exchange rate and interest rate in the operations and financial results of the issuer

Considering the functional currency determined by the company is the U.S. dollar, the foreign exchange gain (loss) disclosed the financial statements of the company basically refers to monetary items in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a strategy to mitigate risks, the allocation of cash to assets denominated in Reais or U.S. dollars held by Embraer is one of the main tools to hedge against exchange rate variations.

Bearing in mind that the company has almost all of its revenues issued or collected in US dollars, as described in item 2.1(i) of this Reference Form, and maintains cash mostly in this same currency, the variation in the exchange rate directly influences the financial result, but does not pose a risk to the company's financial planning, given that the functional currency is the US dollar.

Interest rates affect Embraer's financial results. An increase or decrease in the local interest rate also influences the company's financial result, since the company has more local investments than debt linked to the interest rate, an increase in the interest rate represents an increase in financial income. In 2023, the amount of investments in reais was R$630.1 million and in 2022 the figure was R$676.7 million.

Investments abroad, in dollars and other currencies, have a pre-fixed rate, but when we renew the investment Embraer is subject to market conditions, so an increase in the interest rate indicates an increase in the return on investments abroad, and considering that interest rates increased in 2023, the financial result was positively impacted.

2.3 - Significant changes to accounting standards – Qualifications and emphasis in the auditor’s report

3. EBIT margin: corresponds to the operating profit/loss, calculated according to Resolution CVM 156, divided by the net revenue recorded in the period.

4. Adjusted EBIT margin: corresponds to the operating profit/loss, excluding non-recurring items, divided by the net revenue recorded in the period.

5.EBITDA: corresponds to operating profit/loss, plus depreciation and amortization.
6.EBITDA margin: corresponds to the operating profit/loss, plus depreciation and amortization, divided by the net revenue recorded in the period.

7. EBITDA margin: corresponds to operating income plus depreciation and amortization, divided by net revenue for the period.

8. Adjusted EBITDA margin: corresponds to the operating profit/loss, plus depreciation and amortization, excluding non-recurring items, divided by the net revenue recorded in the period.

9.Adjusted net income is not an accounting parameter and excludes deferred income tax and social contribution in the period. Under IFRS, income tax and social contribution include a portion of deferred taxes that result mainly from unrealized gains arising from the impacts of exchange rate variation on non-monetary assets (especially Inventories, Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets). It is important to note that taxes resulting from gains or losses on non-monetary assets are considered deferred taxes and accounted for in the company's consolidated Cash Flow under the account Deferred income tax and social contribution. Adjusted net income also excludes the post-tax impact of the provision related to non-recurring items.

10. Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Short- and long-term financial investments – Short- and long-term financing.

11. Net cash (debt) Eve = Cash and Cash Equivalents, (+) short and long-term financial investments - Short and long-term financing.

 

(b)Reconciliations between the amounts disclosed and the amounts in the audited financial statements

EBIT is calculated using operating income before consolidated financial income (expenses), calculated in accordance with Resolution CVM 156. Adjusted EBIT is calculated using EBIT, excluding non-recurring items[1], reported annual results include several non-special items that impacted operating income both in current periods and in previous years, as shown in the table below:

  2023 2022
Special items with an effect on Adjusted EBIT (in millions of R$ )
Mark-to-market Republic shares (Commercial Aviation business) (22.6) (8.9)
Assets held for sale (179.0) 28.9
Results related to Eve 383.4 1,911.8
Total 181.8 1,931.8

 

EBITDA is calculated based on EBIT, excluding the effect of depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is calculated based on EBITDA, including several special items as per the table described above. Adjusted net income excludes the aforementioned special items and also the impact of the provision for deferred income tax in the period.

Net Cash or Net Debt are calculated from the sum of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short- and Long-Term Financial Investments minus Short- and Long-Term Financing.

EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not performance measurement indicators in accordance with practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS, nor should they be considered separately as an alternative to net income, an alternative measure of operating performance to operating cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.


*Non-recurring items are positive and/or negative effects not foreseen in the projections of the company's income statements. They are so named because they represent values that are not directly related to the profits or losses resulting from the company's operations and thus they tend not to be repeated in the future.

(c)       Explain the reason why the Company understands that such measurement is more appropriate for the correct understanding of your financial condition and the results of its operations

In Embraer's understanding, EBIT and EBITDA show the true income from activities genuinely linked to our corporate purpose, being used internally as measures to assess productivity and efficiency and proving to be useful to assess the company's economic and financial performance. Therefore, they are presented by Embraer as the most appropriate non-accounting measurements for a correct understanding of its financial condition and the results of its operations.

For the adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA measurements, we excluded non-recurring items, making it easier to compare the annual estimates released by the company.

 
41 
 

In the case of the Adjusted Net Income measure, by excluding the effects of deferred tax and non-recurring items, Embraer understands that it facilitates the understanding of the net income actually generated by the company.

Net Cash is used as an indicator of Embraer's liquidity and is widely used by the market.

Additionally, we believe that the use of the non-accounting measurements described above enable investors to follow changes in the indicators released by Embraer.

EBIT, EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of financial performance according to the Accounting Practices Adopted in Brazil, nor by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), do not represent cash flows for the periods presented, should not be considered as substitutes for net income, as indicators of operating performance or as substitutes for cash flow as an indicator of the company's liquidity, nor as a basis for dividend distribution. They do not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to measures of similar securities provided by other companies, although the information is reconciled in compliance with the provisions of CVM Resolution 156 of June 23, 2022.

The information included in this item 2.5 was prepared on the basis of the Company's financial statements and should be read and analyzed in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements and their respective explanatory notes, available on the CVM website (https://www.gov.br/cvm/ptbr), of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3") (https://b3.com.br/pt_br/) and on the Company's Investor Relations website (https://ri.embraer.com.br/) in the tab "Financial Information" and "Results Center".

2.6 - Events Subsequent to the Last Financial Statements

The issue of the company's individual and consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2022 was approved by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2023. The following subsequent events were reported in the financial statements:

US EXIM credit

Embraer closed a US$ 200 million credit transaction to finance purchases of inputs made by Embraer in the United States. This transaction became effective in January 2023, and disbursements will be made according to proof of purchases of inputs from suppliers. This credit was granted by Citibank and guaranteed by Exim Bank, the official US export credit agency.

Investment in the MSW MultiCorp 2 fund

On January 27, 2023, Embraer announced an initial investment of R$ 20 million in MSW MultiCorp 2, managed by MSW Capital, for the purpose of attracting and boosting innovative Brazilian startups that have synergy with the company's innovation strategy.

On February 13, 2023, Embraer paid in the amount of R$ 1.3 million. As a result of this payment, Embraer Ventures now holds 40% of the membership units (cotas) of MSW MultiCorp.

2.7 – Income Allocation Policy

The company's profit allocation policy has not changed in the last fiscal year, and follows the provisions described in its bylaws, as follows:

 

2023

a) Earnings retention rules

According to Law 6,404/76 and the company's bylaws, the net income for the year will be allocated as follows:

(i) 5% (five percent) shall be allocated, before any other allocation, to the establishment of the legal reserve, which shall not exceed 20% of the capital stock;

(ii) an amount shall be allocated to the establishment of a contingency reserve and reversal of any such reserve established in previous fiscal years, pursuant to section 51, I of the Bylaws;

(iii) an amount shall be allocated to the Investment Reserve, which shall not exceed 80% of the capital stock, to which, by proposal of the Board of Directors, a portion of up to 75% of the adjusted net income for each fiscal year may be allocated, for the purpose of: (i) securing funds for investments in fixed assets, without prejudice to the retention of earnings pursuant to article 196 of Law No. 6,404/76; e (ii) increasing working capital; and also (iii) for carrying out redemption, reimbursement or acquisition of shares of the company's capital stock.

The company may not establish a legal reserve in the fiscal years in which the balance of such reserve, plus the amount of capital reserves referred to in paragraph 1 of article 182 of Law No. 6,404/76, exceeds 30% of the capital stock.

a.i. Amounts of retained earnings (in millions of Reais)

 

 

Considering that there are no reserves, the profit for the year of R$783.6 million will be absorbed by the "Accumulated Losses" in the company's Shareholders' Equity.

a.ii Percentages in relation to total declared earnings

 

Investment Subsidy Reserve: N/A

Legal reserve: N/A

Investment and working capital reserve: N/A

 
43 
 

 

b) Dividend distribution rules

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company's shareholders shall be entitled to receive in each fiscal year, as a mandatory dividend, a percentage equivalent to 25% of the net income for the fiscal year, which shall be reduced or increased by the following amounts: (a) the amount allocated to the establishment of the legal reserve; and (b) the amount allocated to the establishment of a contingency reserve and reversal of any such reserve established in previous fiscal years;

The payment of dividends determined above may be limited to the amount of net income realized during the fiscal year, provided that the difference is recorded as an unrealized revenue reserve.

The profits recorded in the unrealized revenue reserve, once realized and to the extent not offset by losses in subsequent years, shall be added to the first dividend declared after realization.

The dividend provided for shall not be mandatory in the fiscal year in which the Board of Directors informs the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting that such dividend is not consistent with the company's financial condition.

Profits that are not distributed pursuant to paragraph 1 of art. 51 of the company's Bylaws shall be recorded as a special reserve and, to the extent not offset by losses in subsequent fiscal years, shall be paid as a dividend as soon as the company's financial condition so permits.

The Board of Directors may pay or credit, in each fiscal year, contingent on subsequent confirmation by the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting that reviews the financial statements for the fiscal year, interest on equity, in accordance with the applicable income tax law.

Interest on equity shall be attributed to the amount of dividends declared by the company.

c) Frequency of dividend distributions

Dividends are distributed annually after approval by the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting.

When its economic and financial situation so permits, Embraer may anticipate the distribution of dividends on a quarterly basis through Interest on Equity (IOE).

The Board of Directors may resolve on the preparation of semi-annual balance sheets and declare Interim Dividends. It may also prepare a balance sheet and distribute dividends in shorter periods, provided that the total amount of dividends paid in each semester of the fiscal year does not exceed the amount of capital reserves.

The Board of Directors may declare dividends based on retained earnings or profit reserves recorded in the last annual or semi-annual balance sheet.

d) Any restrictions on the distribution of dividends imposed by legislation or special regulations applicable to the issuer, as well as contracts, judicial, administrative or arbitration decisions Except for the provisions of Law No. 6,404/76 and our bylaws, we have no restrictions on the distribution of dividends imposed by legislation or regulation, by contracts, judicial, administrative or arbitration decisions.
e) if the issuer has a formally approved policy for allocation of income, informing the body responsible for the approval, date of approval and, in the event the issuer publishes the policy, locations on the World Wide Web where the document can be consulted. Embraer has an Income Allocation Policy, which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on October 26, 2018, was filed with CVM in the category of the same name and is available on the website ri.embraer.com.br, at the Governance, Policies section.

2.8 - Material Items not Included in the Financial Statements (off-balance sheet items)

(a)       Assets and liabilities directly or indirectly held by the issuer that are not included in its balance sheet (off-balance sheet items), such as (i) operating lease-purchase agreements, assets and liabilities, (ii) written-off portfolios of receivables on which the entity has not substantially retained or transferred the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, indicating respective liabilities, (iii) agreements for the future purchase and sale of products or services, (iv) unfinished construction agreements and (v) agreements for future financing disbursements

As described in note 35 to the company's Standardized Financial Statements (Demonstrações Financeiras Padronizadas - DFP) for December 31, 2023, in its ordinary course of business, the company participates in off-balance sheet operations, as follows:

Backstop commitments (Commercial Aviation)

In certain firm contracts for the sale of commercial jets included in the backlog, the company has undertaken on guarantee commitments to provide financing in the event that the customer is unable to obtain sufficient credit lines for the deliveries of the aircraft.

Historically, the company has requested and provided financing in limited cases to its customers during deliveries of the E-Jets family, which demonstrates the existence of alternative sources of financing in the market to pass on backstop commitments and the remote likelihood of exercise. In addition, the company retains ownership of the assembled aircraft until the customer fulfills the payments upon delivery, so it is not exposed to risk of loss.

With the purpose of mitigating exposure to credit risk, the exercise of this guarantee depends on the customer’s financial conditions on the date of communication of the exercise and conditions precedent to be fulfilled. If financing is provided, the company maintains the financed aircraft as collateral in the financing structure.

Backlog

The company has a backlog with unmet or partially met performance obligations. The amount of revenue allocated to unmet (or partially met) performance obligations, as of December 31, 2023, totaled US$ 18.7 billion, of which US$ 17.2 billion should be realized in the next 5 years, based on the company's estimate.

 
45 
 

The company recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to the customer. The asset is transferred when (or as) the client obtains control of that asset.

(b)       Other Items not included in the Financial Statements

There are no other items not shown in the financial statements.

2.9 - Comments on off-balance sheet items

Below we present information related to the items mentioned in item 2.8 of this Reference Form, as well as Management's perception of their potential occurrence and effects on the company's financial statements.

2.10 - Business plan

(a)       Investments

(i)       Quantitative and qualitative description of ongoing and expected investments

In the Commercial Aviation segment, we highlight the development of the E2 jets, the second generation of the E-Jets family, consisting of the E175-E2, E190-E2 and E195-E2 models, which was launched in June 2013; the entry into service of the first model, the E190-E2, for the customer Wideroe, from Norway, took place in April 2018. In 2019, the E195-E2 was certified and entered into service in September of the same year, with the first delivery to AerCap and Azul Airlines. The E175 E2 performed its maiden flight in December 2019. On February 18, 2022, the company released a Material Fact informing a three-year pause in the development of the E175-E2 Program, due to continuous discussions between the main US airlines and their respective pilot unions, regarding the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) for aircraft with up to 76 seats, as well the conditions of the global commercial aviation market and the continued interest in the current E175 jet in the US market. The company expects the aircraft to enter service between 2027 and 2028. Until such previous period before the entrance into service, Embraer continues to offer the E175 jet of first generation of E-Jets, which is a market leader and the most efficient and comfortable commercial aircraft in the 76-seat category.

In Executive Aviation, recent investments refer to the development of the Phenom 100EX, implementation of the availability of the autothrottle feature for the Phenom 300E and sustainability advances towards adapting the portfolio for operation with 100% SAF fuel. Phenom 100EX is the latest evolution of the Phenom 100 series, which incorporates Embraer's design DNA and offers the best experience for pilots and passengers with a higher level of comfort, operational versatility and new avionics features centered on single-pilot technologies. The aircraft has triple ANAC, FAA and EASA certification, and its production beginning in 2024 is already fully sold out. As for the new autothrottle feature on the Phenom 300E, it will be available for aircraft delivered from the third quarter of 2024 and also for aircraft that have received factory-installed provisions from January 2023. This feature enhances the jet's operational capabilities to fly in a more automated and intuitive way, acting on throttle control during the various phases of flight. As for advances in sustainability in 2023, Embraer conducted flight tests using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Phenom 300E and Praetor 600 executive models. This achievement is yet another significant milestone in the journey towards net zero emissions from aviation by 2050, demonstrating the company's determination to adapt its current products to be more

 
47 
 

sustainable and to promote the adherence of customers and the industry to this new standard.

Expenses related to the Defense & Security Business Unit development programs are investments predominantly made by its customers, which is the main customer of this business unit. A significant portion of these programs is defined as construction contracts. The revenue associated with such contracts is realized on a percentage of completion basis, as performance milestones are achieved.

Among the main investments in 2023 in the Services & Support area, we highlight the projects of greatest relevance and financial return:

1. Development of OGMA's industrialization project to put the GTF engine repair activity into service from 2024:

Since 2020, OGMA has invested in new facilities and employee training to start supporting GTF engines. At the end of 2023, OGMA announced the completion of the cells and test facilities needed for the GTF. The first induction of the PW1100G engine is expected to take place by April 2024. By 2026, the company will begin servicing the PW1900G used in the E2.

2. Support for E2 Fleet Expansion and Executive Aviation Fleet Growth:

Investment aimed at expanding the E2 fleet and supporting new and renewed contracts for integrated logistics support services and comprehensive airframe maintenance programs, such as the Pool Program for Commercial Aviation and Embraer Executive Care for Executive Aviation. These long-term contracts mainly include pool contracts and other services such as spare parts, repair, maintenance and technical services.

3. Expansion of the Training Support Structure:

Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS) has announced the expansion of the joint venture between the companies to include pilot and cabin crew training for the E-Jets E2 family. The new pilot training program in Singapore was inaugurated in February 2024 with a new state-of-the-art full flight simulator for the E2 E-Jets at CAE's on-site Flight Training Center. As well as providing after-sales services, it is also a valuable addition to the region's aviation and aerospace ecosystem, driving growth and improving the skills of new talent in the sector.

In the business jet Services market, investment in training remains strong. In 2023, ECTS implemented a new full flight simulator for the Phenom 300E in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

 
48 
 

At the end of the year, ECTS announced a further expansion of training capacity with two new Phenom 300 flight simulators to meet the growing demand for executive jet training in the United States and Europe.

In 2023, most of the company's investments were related to the development of: a) Executive Aviation: mainly the Phenom family; b) Services & Support: GTF engine repair activity at OGMA and expansion of maintenance services to support the growth of the Commercial and Business fleets; c) Other Segments: eVTOL (electric vehicle and vertical landing) stands out.

Based on its business plans and monitoring of the global technological and innovation scenario, Embraer sets forth a Research & Development & Innovation plan aiming to investigate and develop solutions for the main challenges the global aeronautic industry may face in the coming years in connection with design, development, production and commercialization of aircraft, in order to remain competitive. These preparatory efforts to apply advanced technologies will make aircraft lighter, quieter, more comfortable and efficient in terms of consumption of energy and emissions, and will decrease the time required to design and manufacture aircraft, while optimizing resources.

The company establishes and reviews its Innovation Verticals every year. They are Innovation priorities for investment, which includes connecting with new businesses, new markets and disruptive innovations, as was the case with Eve Air Mobility, a company generated from integrated work within this model.

The company currently has the Verticals Net Zero, AI & Data Science, Industry 4.0, Airframe Competitiveness, Autonomous Flight, Cybersecurity and Passenger Experience.

In order to expand the reach of the results and minimize the risks of developments, the company's pre-competitive research and development strategy is structured as a program that has as essential skills not only the ability to manage and execute multidisciplinary projects, but also to maintain and coordinate a network of development partners, integrating several institutions (universities, research institutes, development institutions and companies). It is worth highlighting some important partnerships for the advancement of Embraer's innovation.

Embraer contributes to technological advances in Brazil and the global aerospace industry. The company's journey towards evolution and innovation is carried out every day through commitment, networking and a great deal of collaboration in the ecosystem that involves partners, various universities and research institutions, suppliers and customers. In 2023, Embraer, in partnership with ITA (Technological Institute of Aeronautics) and FAPESP (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo), inaugurated FLYMOV (Flight and Mobility Innovation Center), an Engineering Research Center (CPE) aimed at studies for the Air Mobility of the Future. Unicamp and USP-São Carlos are also partners of

 
50 
 

FLYMOV. The unprecedented initiative in Brazil was announced in 2022 and brings together representatives of the scientific community and professionals from the aeronautical industry in activities based on three pillars: low-carbon aviation, autonomous systems, and advanced design and manufacturing. The goal is to find innovative technological solutions that will boost the sustainability and competitiveness of the global innovation ecosystem. FLYMOV mobilizes more than 130 people, including researchers, Embraer employees and fellows—scientific initiation, master's, doctoral and post-doctoral—in an ambitious initiative aimed at establishing a new framework for the competitiveness of Brazil's industry and for training the professionals who will transform the air mobility innovation ecosystem.

Embraer and Collins Aerospace continue to collaborate on the development and testing of an innovative electrothermal heating technology based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) for ice protection systems. In 2023, a flight was carried out in an environment with natural ice. Electrothermal CNT technology is lighter and more energy efficient, as well as using environmentally better manufacturing processes than current systems. Embraer believes it will become the future standard for ice protection, including in more electric aircraft designs.

Continuous progress towards greater efficiency and safety is a decisive factor for Embraer to invest in autonomous flight technologies. Autonomous flight is an important advance in aviation and is based on a combination of technologies such as sensors, control systems, communication and artificial intelligence. The application of these technologies has given rise to new markets, such as the drone market, where aircraft without a pilot on board can operate safely, often carrying out dangerous missions without human life having to be exposed to risk. The same technology, in a different context, can help pilots drive the aircraft safely, reducing their workload, broadening their view of the nearby airspace and aiding decision-making. All this technology under development will be incorporated into Embraer's portfolio, contributing to the company's competitiveness and perpetuity in the long term.

Embraer believes that autonomous flight will revolutionize various sectors of the economy, with agriculture being a market with strong potential to be a pioneer in the application of this technology. High precision, optimizing the use of inputs, reducing losses due to crop crushing and operating at night in complete safety are some of the features that autonomous flight brings to agribusiness, making it possible to gain productivity with absolute respect for the environment.

On May 5, 2023, Embraer signed an agreement with the Financier of Studies and Projects (Finep) to develop demonstrator platforms for new aeronautical technologies. With this, public resources will be used to share with companies the costs and risks inherent in research and development at low and medium levels of technological maturity

Embraer and FlightSafety International inaugurated a new Praetor flight simulator in Orlando, Florida. The simulator has already been approved by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Initial training is already available to customers, as is recurrent training. The companies also announced the launch of the fourth Praetor simulator in Europe, at a location to be determined. The start of operations is scheduled for the end of 2024

Embraer and the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt; DLR) have announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for collaboration in pre-competitive technology research and development activities. The aim is to assess the possibility of establishing future cooperation on a wide range of initiatives. This includes aircraft design, systems and flight physics, system architectures, flight tests, wind tunnel experiments, structures and materials, and safety.

In 2023, the company's total investment was US$ 414.2 million, with US$ 192.1 million in Product Development, US$ 90.3 million in Research and US$ 131.8 million in Capex. It is important to mention that this amount excluded expenses related to equipment and fixed assets, which total US$ 1.5 million, and are mainly from programs in the Defense & Security segment. These expenses are deemed in the terms and conditions of their respective contracts as customer investments and, consequently, are not part of the company's CAPEX estimate.

The company's investments are financed with equity and third-party capital.

(d)        Opportunities included in the issuer's business plan related to ESG issues

The aviation industry is under increasing pressure from governments, regulatory organizations and the general public to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, the sector's main ESG challenge. In this regard, the industry has come together and committed itself to zero net carbon emissions by 2050, a goal that, to be achieved within the desired timescale, requires both manufacturers and airlines to employ new thinking and search for bold and feasible solutions.

Embraer recognizes the urgency of the climate crisis and is fully committed to a sustainable future. We are stepping up our efforts to minimize our carbon footprint while remaining dedicated to the development of innovative solutions that have a broader impact for our customers, our local communities and society at large. Innovation and new technologies play an increasing role in the company's business plans, in the search for more sustainable operations.

Embraer understands that smaller aircraft will be the first platforms on which new propulsion systems will be introduced: this small-scale application—as in regional aircraft—will precede the gradual advancement of technologies in larger aircraft, which is seen as an opportunity for the company's business. Embraer's sustainability roadmap, with a product concept development plan, was announced at the end of 2021, and its success will depend on technological readiness to reach important milestones:

Starting today, Embraer's modern E2 is the most fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft in commercial service, reducing emissions by more than 30% compared to the previous generation of aircraft. Immediately, it is an important instrument for operators with old fleets to reduce emissions. In 2023, 39 aircraft from the E2 family were delivered.

After initial studies of four new aircraft concepts, with new propulsion architectures that use renewable energies, Embraer evolved, in 2022, in new advances of the "Energia Family" program. The company now focuses on two projects with nineteen to thirty seats for hybrid electric and hydrogen electric propulsion. The surveys have been developed based on Embraer's fifty-year technical experience, external contributions from airlines and joint studies with engine manufacturers. Both projects offer a real and viable path to zero carbon emissions. Developments continue and Embraer plans the first flight of its hydrogen-powered electric demonstrator in 2025. The first production aircraft could enter into commercial service in the mid-2030s.

In the next decade, around 2045, we may see the first flight of Embraer's hydrogen-powered turboprop, and finally, by 2050, Embraer's goal is to have a hydrogen-powered E2 or similar-sized aircraft flying into the skies.

In addition to commercial aviation, urban air mobility is an important vector of opportunities for Embraer's business. The development of "eVTOL"—electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle, 100% electric with zero emission and low noise is in progress. Eve's market-leading backlog currently includes orders for up to two thousand eight hundred and fifty eVTOLs. In 2026, eVTOL should be transporting passengers through cities, transforming the mobility of metropolises.

These are certainly bold and ambitious steps, but with more than 50 years of experience in the regional market, manufacturing efficiencies combined with an extremely competitive cost structure, Embraer is ideally positioned to bring disruptive technologies to smaller aircraft platforms. The company is also fostering new partnerships and working closely with leading universities and academic institutions to address challenges in energy collection,

 
53 
 

storage and thermal management, as well as exploring new ways to make business operations more efficient with its global customers and governments.

The next two decades will be ones of transformation in regional aviation, with the low carbon considerations inherently associated with the development of any new product. But ESG challenges are also driving Embraer in other activities. In 2021, the company assumed environmental commitments linked to its production processes: (i) carbon neutral growth as of 2020; (ii) carbon neutrality of its operations in 2040; and (iii) electricity from 100% renewable sources in 2030. In 2023, the goals evolved and gained concrete actions on several fronts, such as:

•       One of the first measures aimed at decarbonizing operations is the reduction of Scope 2 emissions, associated with the use of electricity. With regard to this scope, in Brazil, power purchase agreements have already been signed to ensure that 100% of the electricity purchased by Embraer in the country comes from renewable sources, starting in 2024, and in 2023 the company dedicated its efforts to structuring its renewable electricity purchase plan for its operations in the United States. Electricity consumption in its operations in Brazil represents around 70% of the total consumed in all its operations worldwide.

•       In 2023, Embraer continued with its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) procurement strategy, which today takes place at its Melbourne plant in the United States. The company has been working to ensure that this process evolves consistently, so that it is possible to properly track and report the benefits obtained from the purchase of this fuel, while establishing partnerships with companies in the sector, with the aim of leveraging the supply of SAF in the regions where it is present. Embraer is directly involved in various initiatives and partnerships for research and development in the SAF chain in Brazil and around the world. Last year, it joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), an organization that promotes a just and sustainable transition to a circular economy, and also the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) working group, dedicated to studying the compatibility of current aircraft with the use of 100% renewable SAF.

•       In 2023, in partnership with Honeywell Aerospace, Parker, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Safran and WorldFuel, the Phenom 300E and Praetor 600 business aircraft were successfully tested with 100% pure sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The tests, with an engine running on 100% SAF, were carried out at Embraer's facilities in Melbourne and provided significant information on the performance of the systems when using an entirely renewable fuel source.

In the social area, Embraer seeks to be a plural and humane company that respects the individuality of each employee. Valuing characteristics and behaviors, the company emphasizes that every human being is part of a process, and always seeks to provide the necessary support for its employees to perform their duties with a sense of belonging.

Embraer, with its focus on the inclusion and representation of all people, and efforts aimed at ensuring that minority or underrepresented groups are a genuine part of the company, has corporate goals for Diversity & Inclusion, which are a central issue of its culture:

•       Continuous Diversity & Inclusion training

•       Commitment to have 50% diversity in hiring

•       25% of women in the Master's Program in Aeronautical Engineering

•       20% of women in senior leadership positions

Externally, for more than 20 years, the Embraer Institute of Education and Research has supported education in Brazil to build a fairer and more inclusive country, running two full-time high schools for students from public schools and low income families in São José dos Campos and Botucatu, in the countryside of São Paulo. There is also a contingent of paying students (20% of the total student body), reaching a total of 720 students in 2023. More than five thousand young people have graduated from high school since the Embraer Colleges were set up.

2.11 - Others Material Factors

In 2023, the company's advertising expenses totaled approximately R$ 179 million, most of which was spent on fairs and exhibitions, advertising campaigns and other promotional activities. Business areas request these expenses annually and they are submitted to the company's management for approval, in order to enable the marketing efforts of products and services.

Main events that occurred during the year and impacts on the financial statements:

Russia-Ukraine conflict

The company, in compliance with sanctions imposed on Russia, Belarus and certain regions of Ukraine by the laws of the jurisdictions to which it is subject, has suspended the supply of parts, maintenance and technical support to customers affected by said sanctions.

 
55 
 

The company continues to monitor its supply chain in the face of uncertainties related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the challenges of the current macroeconomic scenario, as well as the impacts of inflation. Although there is no immediate concern about the availability of titanium in our supply chain, considering our current stock position and the alternative sources that exist in other countries, we will continue to monitor our supply chain to identify possible restrictions.

As of December 31, 2023, the company has no material assets or liabilities exposed to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, therefore, no material accounting impact has been identified up to the date of authorization for the issuance of these financial statements.

Israel-Hamas conflict

The conflict between Israel and Hamas could have an impact on the company's supply chain, depending on its evolution and developments. In order to monitor these potential impacts, as well as others related to operations and clients, the company closely follows the facts regarding this conflict.

As of December 31, 2023, the company has no material assets or liabilities exposed to Israel or Palestine, so no material accounting impact has been identified as of the date of authorization to issue these financial statements.

Repurchase offer and debt security issue

Between June/2023 and September/2023, through a repurchase offer, the company repurchased US$ 1,375,493 thousand of the following outstanding notes:

·US$ 952,782 thousand: redemption of all the notes bearing interest at 5.05% p.a. and maturing in 2025.
·US$ 205,965 thousand: partial redemption of notes remunerated at 5.40% p.a. and maturing in 2027.
·US$ 189,746 thousand: partial redemption of notes bearing interest at 6.95% pa and maturing in 2028.

The company recognized US$ 5,407 thousand in the financial result as a gain arising from the repurchase transactions of the notes in circulation listed above.

Additionally, in July 2023, the company issued US$ 750,000 in debt securities maturing in 2030.

Renegotiation with client

 
56 
 

In September 2023, the company concluded a debt renegotiation with one of its clients. The renegotiated amounts will be remunerated at 7.5% p.a. and paid off by 2030. In addition, renegotiation takes into account the receipt of the counterparty's equity instrument. The main impact of this renegotiation was the derecognition of existing assets, initially classified as customer financing, and the subsequent recognition of modified assets.

The company's results were not significantly impacted as a result of this renegotiation.

The payment of the Short-Term variable compensation is also tied to the Company's performance, assuming the achievement of the goals defined by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, compensation is linked to the retention of professionals and the achievement of positive results by the Company, which shows the alignment of interests.

Calculation and adjustment method for each of the compensation elements

The amounts of compensation paid by the Company to the members of the Executive Board, Board of Executive Officers and Committees are periodically compared with the amounts paid by the market and consider the complexity, sophistication and challenges inherent to the Company's business, especially by competing companies in the segments in which the Company operates, Brazilian multinationals, publicly traded companies or that have a compensation strategy similar to that practiced by the Company, according to the guidelines established by the compensation strategy, through research conducted by external consultancies and specialized in the subject.

Total compensation amounts should be planned annually, based on market research and taking into account the Company's economic and financial reality. Priority should be given to the retention of executives and the alignment of their earnings with those of shareholders. In this sense, the greater the impact of the position on the Company's results, the more weight should be attributed to the variable portions of the compensation - STI and LTI, reflecting, respectively, the profitability and valuation of the Company. The ILP shall only be a reference for the current fiscal year and vesting shall occur on a future date, in accordance with the conditions set forth in in a specific policy.

Key performance indicators that are taken into account to determine each element of the compensation

The performance indicators that are taken into account to determine the short-term variable compensation are: (i) annual assessment of the "Action Plan," an instrument entered into with each statutory and non-statutory officer every year, setting forth the results intended by the Company for that year and the actions planned for each one in order to achieve these results; and (ii) global performance result of the Company.

Thus, the STI and LTI compensation vary based on the economic results and the operating income of the Company. The STI is affected by the assessment of the individual Action Plans, the LTI is related to the increase in the value of the Company's shares and the performance targets set forth in the Plan.

The amount of Short-Term Incentive to be effectively paid to executives in each fiscal year is tied to the respective individual Action Plans and its assessment varies directly based on the achievement of the results set forth therein. The content of the Action Plan is revised annually through the Corporate Planning cycle and approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the year 2022, among the goals set forth in the Board of Directors' Action

 
79 
 

Plans, there were goals related to the environment and diversity, in the ESG context, the same happened for the year 2023.

Therefore, each executive is assessed, on an annual basis, based on the achievement of their Action Plan and their Short-Term variable compensation is influenced by this result.

ii.       Reasons that justify the composition of the compensation

Board of Directors and Advisory Committees

The main objective is to attract members with reputation and suitable profiles, remunerating them in a manner compatible with the market and thus providing the necessary conditions for them to better perform their duties. Reference values are obtained from the results of specialized surveys, carried out with companies similar in size to Embraer.

Note: Companies similar in size are those that are comparable in terms of area of operations, number of employees, revenue, business segment, processes for the development of products or production, global operations, etc.

Statutory Board of Directors

Total compensation amounts are planned annually based on market research with companies of size, complexity and challenges equivalent to those of Embraer. Through this research, we seek to determine not only the amounts practiced in the market, but also the proportionality of their components (Fixed and Variable Compensation, Short- and Long-term Incentives). The Company favors the retention of its executives and aims to maintain and attract highly qualified executive officers and key qualified personnel, aligning their interests with the interests of the Company's shareholders. In addition, the objective is to ensure that executives who effectively contribute to the best performance of the Company and its securities have a share in the profits derived from their contribution.

Fiscal Council

The monthly compensation of the Fiscal Council, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Section 162 of Law No. 6,404/76, is established in an amount equivalent to at least 10% of the average monthly compensation of each Executive Officer of the Company, excluding benefits, representation funds and profit sharing.

iii.       Existence of unpaid members and the reasons for this fact

No members of the board of directors, advisory committees, board of executive officers or fiscal council are unpaid for the positions they hold in the Company.

 
80 
 

d.       Existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, controlled companies or direct or indirect controlling shareholders

Not applicable, as subsidiaries and controlled companies do not pay compensation to members of management and Fiscal Council of Embraer.

e.       Existence of any compensation or benefit linked to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the sale of issuer's corporate control

There was no corporate event related to the sale of the issuer's corporate control.

8.4 - Stock-based compensation plan for the board of directors and statutory board of executive officers

The Company currently has a stock-based compensation plan in place, the "Long-Term Incentive Plan for Embraer Executives", approved on March 18, 2021, by the Company's Board of Directors (the "LTI"). The Company's Bylaws sets forth that the Board of Directors may make extraordinary grants.

Until March 2020, the Company had the "Stock Option Program of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Employees", approved on April 19, 2010 (the "Program").

 
89 
 

Long-Term Incentive Plan for Embraer Executives (LTI)

a.       General terms and conditions

The Company's officers and employees, and the officers (or equivalents) and employees of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the LTI. The LTI is managed by the Board of Directors, which is duly advised by its People and ESG Committee in all its stages.

The LTI values established for the participants shall be converted into "Virtual Shares", based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the shares issued by the Company on B3 ("EMBR3") in the last 30 trading days immediately prior to the 10th day preceding the date on which the Board of Directors determined the respective amounts ("Grant Date").

The Virtual Shares attributed to each Participant shall be divided into 2 classes, 50% in the form of "Virtual Restricted Shares" and 50% in the form of "Virtual Performance Shares".

The other terms and conditions of the Program are described in the items below.

b.       Maximum number of shares covered

Not applicable, as the LTI does not provide for the effective delivery of the Company's shares to the participants.

c.       Maximum number of options to be granted

Not applicable. There is no granting of stock options under the LTI.

d.       Vesting conditions

Not applicable. Once calculated, the amount payable to executives under the LTI is paid in cash.

e.       Criteria to determine the purchase or exercise price

Not applicable.

f.       Criteria to determine the exercise period

Virtual Restricted Shares: the Participant shall be entitled to receive the cash value, corresponding to all of his or her Virtual Restricted Shares, generally after the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

 
90 
 

Virtual Performance Shares: the Participant shall be entitled to receive the cash value corresponding to a certain percentage of his or her Virtual Performance Shares, generally after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, depending on the achievement of the corporate performance targets established by the Company, which are reviewed annually by the Board of Executive Officers and approved by the Board of Directors. The percentage of targets achieved may vary between 75% and 125%, and the number of Virtual Shares of the Participant is prorated according to these percentages. If the achievement of targets is below 75% in the calculation period, the Participant is not entitled to any payment regarding the granted Virtual Performance Shares.

The exercise term for the Company's Virtual Shares, whether of the Restricted type or the Performance type, occurs as a rule, after the third anniversary of the vesting date, except in grants with specific vesting conditions.

The maximum payment term of this benefit is consistent with the long-term objectives mentioned in items "b" and "c".

g.       Form of settlement

The LTI shall be settled in cash.

h.       Restrictions on the transfer of shares

Not applicable, as the LTI does not provide for the effective delivery of the shares, but rather a cash payment linked to the appreciation of the shares of the Company, operating as a basis for a certain number of Virtual Shares attributed to LTI participants.

i.       Criteria and events that, having occurred, cause the suspension, change or termination of the plan

In the event of dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the LTI and the rights granted thereunder not yet exercised shall be automatically terminated.

j.       Effects of termination of office of members of management bodies of the company on their rights set forth in the stock-based compensation plan

In the event of termination of office due to death or permanent disability of the participant, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors, all Virtual Restricted Shares attributed to him or her shall be converted based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the EMBR3 shares in the last ten trading days prior to the date of the relevant termination, and payment shall be made together with the payment of the other applicable

 
91 
 

severance pay. With regards to the Virtual Performance Shares, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a pro rata amount, based on the period of employment calculated from the Grant Date until termination, and all other conditions set forth in the LTI shall be maintained.

In the event of death, payment shall be made to the Participant's successors in accordance with the law.

In the event of termination by decision of the Participant, the Participant shall not be entitled to any LTI payments, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors.

In the event of termination by decision of the Company, the participant shall be entitled to partial receipt (full year pro-rata), generally on the third anniversary of the vesting.

8.5 – Stock-based compensation, in the form of stock options, recognized in the income statement for the last 3 fiscal years and that foreseen for the current fiscal year, of the Board of Directors and the Statutory Board of Executive Officers

The last vesting under the Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Employees was carried out on March 20, 2013, and expired on March 20, 2020, when the Company's Stock Options Program was terminated.

Recognition of stock-based compensation, in the form of stock options, for the board of directors and the statutory board of executive officers is not applicable, for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2021, on December 31, 2022, and on Decembre 31,2023 and forecast for the current fiscal year, to be ended on December 31, 2024.

The last grant under the Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Employees was carried out on March 20, 2013, and expired on March 20, 2020, when the Company's Stock Options Program was terminated.

The granting of stock options, for the Board of Directors and the Statutory Board of Executive Officers, are not applicable, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023 and forecast for the current fiscal year, to be ended December 31, 2024.

 
92 
 

8.7 - Information on outstanding options held by the board of directors and the statutory board of executive officers, at the end of the last fiscal year

The last vesting under the Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Employees was carried out on March 20, 2013, and expired on March 20, 2020, when the Company's Stock Options Program was terminated.

The open options held by the board of directors and the statutory board of executive officers, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are not applicable.

8.8 Exercised options related to stock-based compensation of the Board of Directors and Statutory Board of Executive Officers, in the last three fiscal years

The last grant of the Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Employees occurred on March 20, 2013, and expired on March 20, 2020, when the Company’s Stock Options Program was terminated.

Considering that since 2020 there has been no Stock Options Program active at Embraer, the exercise of options related to the stock-based compensation of board of directors and the statutory board of executive officers, for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2021, on December 31, 2022 and on December 1,2023 and forecast for the current fiscal year to be ended on December 31, 2024, is not applicable to the Company.

8.9 Stock-based compensation, in the form of shares to be delivered directly to the beneficiaries, recognized in the income statement of the last 3 fiscal years and that forecast for the current fiscal year, of the board of directors and the statutory board of executive officers

In the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) there is no actual delivery of shares, the compensation is fully paid in cash on maturity, in accordance with the rules of each grant, therefore there is no potential dilution in the event of grant of all shares to the beneficiaries.
