  EMBRAER RELEASES SECOND QUARTER 2008 RESULTS IN U.S. GAAP
   
The Company's operating and financial information is presented, except where otherwise stated, on a consolidated basis in United States dollars (US$) in accordance with US GAAP. The financial data presented in this document for the quarters ended June 30, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, are derived from the unaudited financial statements. In order to better understand the Company’s operating performance, additional information is also presented at the end of this release, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil (“Brazilian GAAP”).
 
São José dos Campos, July 31, 2008 – Embraer (BOVESPA: EMBR3; NYSE: ERJ), the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial jets with up to 120 seats, recorded second quarter 2008 (2Q08) net sales of US$ 1,635.0 million and net income of US$ 134.4 million, equivalent to diluted earnings per ADS of US$ 0.7427.
 
Embraer added new customers to its firm order backlog in the second quarter of 2008 such as ETA Star Group, from Dubai and TRIP Linhas Aéreas, one more Brazilian airline that will fly Embraer jets. Embraer’s firm order backlog on June 30, 2008, reached a record high of US$ 20.7 billion, including sales to the Executive Aviation market, whose backlog is currently around US$ 6.0 billion. The EMBRAER 170/190 jet family backlog accumulated a total of 847 firm orders and 827 options.
 
Embraer delivered 52 aircraft during 2Q08, an increase of 44.4% compared to 36 deliveries in the second quarter of 2007 (2Q07), closing out the semester with record 97 jets delivered. This result represents a 59% increase over the 61 airplanes delivered during the first semester of 2007. Embraer reaffirms its estimate of delivering 195 to 200 jets in 2008, tending toward the higher figure, as well as ten to 15 Phenom 100 jets.
 
Net revenues for 2Q08 totaled US$ 1,635.0 million, a 47.3% increase over the US$ 1,110.0 million in net revenues for 2Q07, basically due to the increase in deliveries.
 
The gross margin for 2Q08 totaled 21.9%, representing an increase over the 21.5% gross margin for 2Q07, despite the impact of the 16.4% decrease in the exchange rate (R$/US$) on the portion of the Company’s cost stated in reais. This increase in the gross margin is due to the higher number of deliveries in 2Q08, compared to 2Q07, and productivity gains achieved since the improvement of the Company’s industrial processes started in mid-2007. The increase in gross margin, from 20.4% for 1Q08 to 21.9% in 2Q08, is attributed to the same reasons as above and the reduction of overtime work on the production lines.
 
Income from operations reached US$ 113.2 million in 2Q08, a significant increase over the US$ 31.2 million recorded for the same period last year. The operating margin was 6.9% in 2Q08, representing an increase over the 2.8% for 2Q07 and also an increase over the operating margin of 3.6% for 1Q08.
 
The increased operating income resulted in growth in net income, which totaled US$ 134.4 million in 2Q08, compared to US$ 67.3 million in 2Q07. The net margin increased to 8.2% in 2Q08, compared to 6.1% in 2Q07.
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company maintained its high level of liquidity, and its net cash position was US$ 524.2 million.

This document may contain forward-looking statements regarding circumstances or events yet to take place. Such statements are based largely on current expectations, forecasts of future events, assumptions and on financial tendencies that affect the Company’s businesses, and may prove not to be accurate and are not guarantees of performance. They are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and that may include, among others: general economic, political and trade conditions in Brazil and in those markets where the Company does business; expectations on industry trends; the Company’s investment plans; its capacity to develop and deliver products on the dates previously agreed upon; and existing and future governmental regulations. The actual results can, therefore, differ substantially from those previously published as Company expectations. Further, in view of the inherent risks and uncertainties, the estimates, events and circumstances in such statements may not occur. The words “believe”, “may”, “is able”, “will be able”, “estimate”, “intend”, “continue”, “project”, “anticipate”, “expect” and other similar terms are supposed to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company is not obligated to publish updates nor to revise any such statements due to new information, future events or otherwise.

RECONCILIATION OF US GAAP AND “NON GAAP” INFORMATION

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is used internally as a measure to evaluate certain aspects of the business, including financial operations. We also believe that some investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring a company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, in isolation from, or a substitution for analysis of the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, as reported under U.S. GAAP. Other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than Embraer has for the purposes of its earnings releases, limiting Adjusted EBITDA’s usefulness as a comparative measure.
