Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Embraer S.A. covers the period ending November 26, 2013. The report announces a specific commercial transaction rather than providing comprehensive quarterly financial results.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the reporting period. The only quantifiable metric disclosed is the addition of one firm order to the backlog.
Material Changes
- New Order: Embraer secured a firm order for one additional E190 jet from BA CityFlyer, a wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways.
- Backlog Impact: This order is included in Embraer's fourth-quarter 2013 backlog.
- Configuration: The aircraft will be configured with 98 Elite seats.
Outlook, Commentary, and Risks
Management Commentary: Paulo Cesar Silva, President & CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, stated the order is an endorsement of the E-Jets family and highlights the E190's ability to allow operators to grow networks from restricted airports like London City. Adam Carson, Managing Director of BA CityFlyer, noted the aircraft's versatility and environmental qualities support their network ambitions.
Forward-Looking Statements: The document contains projections based on current expectations. Embraer explicitly states it does not undertake to publish updates or revise estimates due to new information. Actual results may differ substantially from expectations due to risks including general economic, political, and trade conditions in Brazil and global markets, industry trends, investment plans, delivery capacity, and governmental regulations.
