  • Embraer reported a 13% increase in overall aircraft deliveries and a 6.9% growth in its backlog to $18.7 billion in 2023, though performance was impacted by supply chain delays.
  • The company saw strong delivery growth across its segments, including a 12-14% rise in executive jets and a 12% increase in commercial E-Jets, with E2 models more than doubling.
  • Embraer's Defense & Security unit expanded its market, securing South Korea as the first Asian customer for the C-390 Millennium military transport jet, alongside new European selections.
  • The Services & Support business achieved a record-high backlog of $3.1 billion, bolstered by expanded maintenance capacity for executive jets in the U.S.
