Embraer S.A. - Material Fact

25 April 2020

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, April 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer S.A. ("Embraer" – EMBR3 and ERJ), in compliance with the provisions of the CVM Instruction 358/02 and in connection with the strategic partnership between Embraer and The Boeing Company ("Boeing" and such partnership, the "Transaction"), informs its shareholders and the market that Embraer received today a notice sent by Boeing communicating its decision to terminate the Master Transaction Agreement ("MTA"), based on Boeing's assertion that supposedly certain closing conditions in the MTA have not been satisfied by Embraer.

Embraer strongly believes that Boeing has wrongfully terminated the MTA, that it has manufactured false claims as a pretext to seek to avoid its commitments to close the transaction and pay Embraer the US$ 4.2 billion purchase price. Embraer believes Boeing has engaged in a systematic pattern of delay and repeated violations of the MTA, because of its unwillingness to complete the transaction in light of its own financial condition and 737 MAX and other business and reputational problems.

Embraer believes it is in full compliance with its obligations under the MTA and will pursue all remedies against Boeing for the damages incurred by Embraer as a result of Boeing's wrongful termination and violation of the MTA.

The Transaction involved a long, costly and complex process, which was supported by government authorities and the substantial majority of Embraer's shareholders, all understanding that the Transaction would be in the best interest of Embraer, its employees, suppliers and customers in commercial aviation.

Embraer remains today a successful, efficient, diversified and vertically integrated company, with a history of serving customers with highly successful products and services built on a strong foundation of engineering and industrial capabilities. Embraer is an exporter and technology developer, with global presence and defense, executive and commercial businesses. Our employees will proudly continue to provide for our clients the high quality products and services they depend on from Embraer every day.

Embraer's history of over 50 years is lined with many victories but also some difficult moments. All of them were overcome. And that's exactly what Embraer is going to do again. Embraer shall overcome these challenges with strength and determination.

Embraer will keep its shareholders, the market in general, and all employees, suppliers and clients informed about any relevant updates.

Embraer S.A. - Material Fact

26 March 2020

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer S.A. ("Company" or "Embraer") informs the market that it has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and its impacts on its employees, operations, the global economy, the supply and the demand for its products and services. The Company´s Crisis Committee monitors on a daily basis the development of the pandemic situation and it has implemented contingency plans to act as quickly as necessary as the current situation continues to unfold.

Embraer has so far not suffered extensive delays in its supply chain, production operations, or material impacts on the demand for its products. Nevertheless, due to the uncertainty related to the spread of the virus, we are suspending the projections presented, on November 12, 2019, in relation to the expected results for 2020. Updated projections will be disclosed as soon as we have a greater visibility into the impact of the virus on the Company's businesses. At the Company's premises in Brazil, some essential activities continue to operate on a regular basis, some employees are working from home (home office) and those employees who cannot perform their activities remotely have been placed on temporary paid leave until March 31, 2020. The Company assesses the implementation measures related to these in its premises abroad. Such measures aim to preserve the health and well-being of Embraer's employees.

If the measures being taken around the world in an attempt to slow down the spreading of the virus turn out to be persistent, this will have significant negative impacts on the global economy, which could cause an adverse effect on us. Governments have already imposed severe measures, such as quarantines, travel and flight restrictions, reduction in movement between countries, all of which we expect to generate some disruptions in the supply and demand side of our businesses.

While Embraer has weathered economic and geopolitical crises in the past, and the Company's management and all of its employees remain committed to achieving its long-term targets, we cannot at this point foresee to what extent this virus and measures to attempt to contain it will affect us.

Embraer's top priority remains the health and safety of its employees, customers, and other collaborators.

EMBRAER S.A.: MATERIAL FACT

22 January 2019

SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, Jan. 16, 2019  /PRNewswire/ -- In accordance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002, Embraer announces that it has revised its guidance for 2018 and is presenting projections for 2019 and 2020. 

2018 Guidance Revision:

Some of the projections that follow have changed and others are reiterated in relation to those published in the Material Fact published by the Company on March 8, 2018.

Embraer is revising its 2018 guidance for executive jet deliveries, Revenues, Executive Jet revenues, Defense & Security revenues, consolidated and adjusted EBIT, consolidated and adjusted EBIT margin, consolidated and adjusted EBITDA, consolidated and adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow and Investments.

Global market conditions for executive jets, although gradually improving, continue to recover more slowly than expected. In combination, Embraer's increased focus on improving profitability and price preservation, as well as the recent launch of the new midsize/super midsize executive jets ("Praetors"), which will begin delivering in 2019, led the Company to adopt a more cautious approach towards deliveries in 2018. As a result, Embraer delivered 91 total executive jets in 2018 (compared to guidance of 105-125 jets previously).

2018 – DELIVERIES GUIDANCE



PREVIOUS

CURRENT

Commercial Aviation

85 – 95

85 – 95

Executive Jets – Total

As a result of the reduction in executive jet deliveries, the Company now expects revenues in the executive jets segment to be approximately US$ 1.1 billion (previously US$ 1.35 billionUS$ 1.50 billion). In addition, the cost base revision for the KC-390 contract in the second quarter of 2018, resulting from the incident involving prototype 001 in May 2018, negatively impacted revenues for the Defense & Security segment. This impact led to a new projection for revenues for the segment, of approximately US$ 0.6 billion (US$ 0.8 billionUS$ 0.9 billion previously). As a result, Embraer's consolidated revenues for 2018 are now expected to be approximately US$ 5.1 billion, a reduction from the previous range of US$ 5.4 billion – US$ 5.9 billion.

Guidance for consolidated and adjusted EBIT, consolidated and adjusted EBIT margin, consolidated and adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated and adjusted EBITDA margin for 2018 were lowered due largely to lower fixed cost dilution of the Company as a function of lower executive jet volumes and a decline in Defense & Security revenues. The adjusted values for 2018 exclude the impact of US$ 127.2 million related to the cost base revision of the KC-390 contract in the second quarter of 2018, following the incident involving prototype 001 in May 2018.

Embraer also estimates that its spending on investments for 2018 will be roughly US$ 300 million, below its previous expectation for a total of US$ 550 million. It is important to note that the lower spending on investments has not negatively impacted the Company's ongoing development projects.

As a result of the lower executive jet deliveries, partially offset by the lower spending on investments in 2018, the Company expects that 2018 Free cash flow will be a use of cash of roughly US$ 200 million (versus a use of no more than US$ 100 million in its previous guidance).

2019 Guidance:

Embraer presents guidance for 2019 which includes the totality of its business units of Commercial Aviation, Executive Jets, Defense & Security, and Services & Support.

For 2019, Embraer expects to deliver between 85 and 95 commercial jets, 90 to 110 executive jets, including light and large jets, 10 Super Tucano aircraft and two KC-390 cargo aircraft. Total consolidated revenues should be between US$ 5.3 billion and US$ 5.7 billion. The Company expects to achieve a consolidated EBIT margin of breakeven (approximately zero) for the year 2019. It is important to highlight that 2019 guidance includes potential costs and expenses associated with the creation of the Commercial Aviation JV in a strategic partnership between the Company and The Boeing Co. ("Boeing") under the terms of the associated material facts published by Embraer.

With the finalization and closure of the partnership operation described above, tentatively expected to occur by the end of 2019, Embraer anticipates a capital structure without leverage, with a net cash position of approximately US$ 1.0 billion after the payment of a special dividend to shareholders of roughly US$ 1.6 billion (which remains subject to the confirmation of certain requirements, including the fiscal year results).

The guidance presented for 2020 includes 100% of the expected results of the Executive Jets and Defense & Security segments (and the results of their respective services and support businesses) and exclude expected financial results coming from the 20% stake Embraer will have in the Commercial Aviation JV in partnership with Boeing.

Embraer expects to have net revenues of between US$ 2.5 billion and US$ 2.8 billion, EBIT margin of between 2% and 5% and roughly breakeven free cash flow for the year 2020.

Boeing Brazil will acquire an 80% interest in the total and voting share capital of the Commercial Aviation JV at the closing of the Transaction, which will include the subscription of new shares by Boeing Brazil and the acquisition of existing shares directly from Embraer, at an aggregate value of $4.2 billion (the "Estimated Value").

Embraer expects the Transaction's proceeds net of separation costs to equal approximately US$3 billion. Any reductions to the separation costs up until the Transaction's closing date would be shared by Embraer and Boeing equally.

The Estimated Value is also subject to adjustments customary for transactions of the same nature including for indebtedness and net working capital of the New Company at the closing date of the Transaction. It is not possible at this time to determine the net effect of the Transaction on the Company's results.

As informed in the Initial Material Fact, the Company will have the right to sell its interest in the Commercial Aviation JV to Boeing through the exercise, at any time, of a put option ("Put Option").

If Embraer exercises the Put Option before the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (defined below), the price per share to be paid will be equal to the price per share at the closing date of the Transaction, adjusted by the inflation (in the U.S.) accumulated between the closing date of the Transaction and the date the Put Option was exercised, or if the Put Option is exercised after the Lock-Up Period, the price per share will be equal to the fair value of each share object of the Put Option at the respective exercise date.
