In its third-quarter earnings call Friday, Embraer said that despite posting a loss for the quarter, it expects 2021 to be the company’s first profitable year since 2017, beating its own expectations.

The $45 million, third-quarter loss the company reported is a stark improvement year-to-date, compared to the $121 million loss reported for the third quarter of 2020.
