Key Takeaways:

Embraer's third-quarter revenue dipped 3% year-over-year to $929 million, primarily due to a significant slowdown in its Defense & Security segment.
Despite the overall revenue decline, commercial and executive jet deliveries increased by 10% in Q3, leading to strong segment earnings and the second-best Q3 for executive jets in a decade.
Ongoing global supply chain challenges continue to impact production and spare part availability, causing Embraer to anticipate 2022 executive jet deliveries at the lower end of its guidance, despite a firm order backlog of $17.8 billion.
