INTRODUCTION

In this annual report, “Embraer,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Embraer S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All references herein to the “real,” “reais” or “R$” are to the Brazilian real, the official currency of Brazil. All references to “US$,” “dollars” or “U.S. dollars” are to United States dollars. All references to the “Brazilian government” are to the federal government of Brazil.

Presentation of Financial and Other Data

Financial Data

Our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the three years ended December 31, 2021, or 2021 audited consolidated financial statements, are included in this annual report.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB.

After analyzing our operations and businesses on a standalone basis with regard to the applicability of International Accounting Standards, or IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, particularly in relation to the factors involved in determining our functional currency, management concluded that our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. This conclusion was based on an analysis of the following factors, as set forth in IAS 21: (i) the currency that most influences sale prices of goods and services; (ii) the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations most determine the sale prices of our goods and services; (iii) the currency that most influences the costs of providing goods and services; and (iv) the currency in which the funds for financial operations are largely obtained. Our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report are presented in U.S. dollars, which is our presentation currency.

On October 28, 2021, our board of directors approved a partial spin-off of Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A., or Yaborã, whereby Yaborã transferred substantially all of its assets to Embraer. The purpose of the transaction was for the Commercial Aviation business unit to be developed directly by Embraer after the wrongful termination of the Boeing Transaction by Boeing, resulting in a reduction in operating, systemic, administrative and tax expenses.

For certain purposes, including providing reports to our Brazilian shareholders, filing financial statements with the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (Brazilian securities commission), or CVM, and determining dividend payments and other distributions and tax liabilities in Brazil, we have prepared, and will continue to be required to prepare, financial statements in accordance with Law No. 6,404 of December 15, 1976, as amended, or the Brazilian Corporate Law.

• the term “executive jets,” as it applies to us, refers to our aircraft sold to companies, including fractional ownership companies, charter companies and air-taxi companies and high-net-worth individuals; and

• the term “Boeing Transaction” refers to the Master Transaction Agreement (the “MTA” or “Master Transaction Agreement”) entered into by us on January 24, 2019, collectively with certain other transaction documents with Boeing and certain subsidiaries of Embraer or Boeing, which were wrongfully terminated by Boeing, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Boeing would acquire a controlling stake in Embraer’s Commercial Aviation business unit and Embraer, or a subsidiary of Embraer, and Boeing, or a subsidiary of Boeing, would form a joint venture for the promotion and development of new markets and applications for the C-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft.

We calculate our backlog as the sum of the contract values of all firm orders (i) for any aircraft that have not yet been delivered, (ii) for services and support contracts for all business units and segments, including repair services and spare parts contracts for a period of more than one year, and (iii) for services and technologies contracted and not yet performed in our Defense and Security business unit. A firm order is a firm commitment from a customer, represented by a signed contract. Options to acquire aircraft are not considered as part of our backlog.

D. Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Embraer

The outbreak of communicable diseases around the world, including COVID-19, led and may continue to lead to higher volatility in the global capital markets and recessionary pressure on the global economy, which may adversely and materially affect us.

The outbreak of communicable diseases on a global scale has affected the global economy and resulted in sporadic volatility in global capital markets and may have a recessionary effect on the global economy, including in Brazil.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has compelled governments around the world to adopt measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, which has caused significant disruptions to the global economy and normal business operations across a growing list of sectors and countries. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected business confidence and consumer sentiment, and has been, and may continue to be, accompanied by significant volatility in financial and commodity markets. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 had broader macro-economic implications, including the reduction on levels of economic growth.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have adopted several initiatives focused on health and safety of our employees. In March 2020, our operations were interrupted for a few days to adjust our facilities and implement health and safety measures, when we were only carried out essential activities, including customer support, aircraft maintenance and manufacturing. Other measures were taken, including social distancing, remote work for some employees, reduction of working hours and wages, collective vacations, and paid leaves.

In 2020, we also implemented a job preservation plan that included temporary furloughs, reduction in working hours and pay cuts to certain of our employees, as a means of guaranteeing their employment upon completion of the plan. Additionally, we implemented voluntary dismissal programs for specific groups of employees in Brazil, with the participation of approximately 1,600 employees. Considering both participation in the voluntary dismissal programs and non-voluntary dismissals, our workforce was reduced by approximately 2,500 employees in Brazil (approximately 12.5% of our total global workforce) in 2020 and this represented an aggregate impact of US$69.2 million in expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020. In 2021, we did not have any interruptions nor conducted any voluntary dismissal plan. Our or other companies’ operations may be suspended again or remain suspended for a longer time.

We also adopted certain measures to preserve our cash flow, including reduction in working hours and pay cuts, extension of suppliers’ payment terms, extension of tax payment deadlines, negotiation of new bank credit facilities, and adjustments to the production chain.

According to the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), global commercial airline traffic volume in 2021 recovered to 42% of 2019 levels by December 2021, as showed in IATA’s Air Passenger Market Analysis report. While international markets traffic volume showed a slower recovery of approximately 25%, domestic recovered to almost 72% in the same period. As of December 2021, 22% of the fleet with up to 100 seats and 30% of the fleet with 100-150 seats was in storage. As a result, we expect that air traffic disruption and decreased demand globally may continue to materially and adversely affect our deliveries in 2022.

The reduction in the demand for travel combined with government-imposed travel restrictions has materially and adversely affected the aerospace industry, causing some airlines to suspend, cancel or reduce flights. As a consequence, demand for new aircraft has declined as airlines are wary of the COVID-19 air travel restrictions and its consequences.

4

As of the date of this annual report, in the Executive Aviation business unit, only one of our executive jets customer cancelled its firm order as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain other customers have postponed their aircraft deliveries in 2020. In 2021 none of our executive jet customers cancelled nor postponed their firm orders. The effect of new COVID-19 variants, including Omicron, has not brought significant negative impacts to the Executive Aviation business unit, and the main remaining risk relates to a possible mismatch between demand and supply of some parts and components necessary for fleet maintenance and manufacturing of new aircraft. Although our production lines are able to maintain planned supply levels without further shortages, we continue to oversee risks and control our supply chain, accommodating demand to avoid obstacles that may yet arise from the COVID-19 recovery scenario.

With respect to our Commercial Aviation business unit, some of our customers have rescheduled aircraft deliveries for 2022 and beyond, which has affected our deliveries for 2021, but, as of the date of this annual report, no aircraft order has been cancelled. We expect that traffic disruption and decreased demand affecting our customer’s operations globally will continue to materially affect our deliveries in 2022. We cannot fully determine the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in the short-to-medium term on our business.

With respect to our Defense and Security business unit, the COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted mainly supply chain and logistics. Although our suppliers’ production level has shown recovery, it is still below pre-pandemic levels, which impacts their ability to deliver parts and goods to us in a timely manner. Logistics for imports and exports has been impacted as a result of higher cycles and costs for air freight, due to the lower availability of international flights, and freight by sea, due to the unavailability of containers, increasing the time for delivery of parts. Deliveries planned to take place in the fourth quarter of 2021 were completed, but we experienced delays in the delivery of certain orders to customers throughout 2021, which caused a delay in revenue recognition and realization of cash inflows, due to restrictive measures and sanitary barriers generated by the pandemic. Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Brazilian Government’s budget for defense projects, of which certain amount was redirected to expenses with public health. This reassessment in the Brazilian Government’s budget has delayed and, on some occasions, suspended purchases of defense products.

In relation to our Services and Support business unit, we expect that all segments associated to this business unit continue progressing to either recover pre-pandemic business volumes (similar to the Commercial Aviation business unit) or to maintain business activities without presenting significative losses associated to its volumes before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (as it is the case with Defense and Executive segments).

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on, among other factors, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the duration of the outbreak and the extent and overall economic effects of the governmental response to the pandemic, as well as novel and variant strains, including Omicron. The effects of the economic recovery on our business and especially on our supply chain dynamics are also uncertain. Although vaccination campaigns have presented relevant advances around the globe in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, we still cannot fully determine the potential impact of further COVID-19 related developments in the short to medium term, given possible new developments, and possible different lockdown strategies taken by governments, affecting airports, passengers and airlines, and thus industry recovery itself. As a result, we expect that traffic disruption and decreased demand affecting will continue to affect customers demand globally and may continue to affect our deliveries materially and adversely in 2022. For further information on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business units, see Note 1.1.1 to our 2021 audited financial statements.

A downturn in our key markets may reduce our sales and revenue, and, consequently, our profitability.

We expect that a substantial portion of our results will be affected, directly or indirectly, from sales of aircraft, which have historically been cyclical due to a variety of factors that are both external and internal to the air travel industry, including general economic conditions, and, most recently and importantly, the effects of COVID 19 on our operations and financial condition, which we cannot fully foresee as of the date of this Annual Report. For additional information on the impacts of COVID-19, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—The outbreak of communicable diseases around the world, including COVID-19, still may lead to higher volatility in the global capital markets and recessionary pressure on the global economy, which could still adversely and materially affect us.”

Economic downturns in our industry, such as the one caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, may reduce air travel demand and corporate and personal spending, which may negatively impact our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, Defense and Security and Services and Support business units. These downturns have led in the past and may also lead in the future, to a decrease in the volume of financing available to our customers for aircraft purchases, particularly in the aforementioned business units. A continued downturn in general economic conditions could result in further reductions in air travel and decreased orders for our aircraft. Our customers could also continue to defer or to cancel their purchases of our aircraft. We cannot predict the magnitude or duration of the impact that the events could not only have on the air transport industry as a whole, but also on our business in particular.

We depend on key customers.

In our Commercial Aviation business unit, as of December 31, 2021, over 85% of our firm orders in backlog for the current EMBRAER 170/190 jet family were from Republic Airlines and SkyWest. Our E-Jets E2 family backlog mainly comprises orders from the companies Azul, AerCap, AirCastle, AirPeace, Porter, and Azorra, which represent approximately 95% of our E-Jets E2 family orders. We believe we will continue to depend on a select number of key customers, and the loss of or difficulty in maintaining the relationship with any one of them would significantly reduce our sales and market share.

In the Executive Aviation business unit, we have been increasingly relying on individual orders as the share of fleet orders in the backlog has been diminishing. Despite the fact that we sold Praetors and Phenoms to large fractional operator in 2019 and 2021, and which corresponding deliveries will continue to occur in the short-term we believe that fleet renewal demand will occur at a constant and moderate rate over a longer period as the current operator’s fleet ages.

In our Defense and Security business unit, the Brazilian government is our largest customer of defense products. Revenue from sales to the Brazilian government accounted for 40.7% of the business unit revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. We cannot assure you that the Brazilian government will continue to acquire defense products and services from us in the future at the same rate or at the same level.

On November 12, 2021, the Brazilian Air Force publicly announced its decision to unilaterally reduce the total value of the KC-390 Millennium aircraft agreement in 25%, as permitted by the applicable law. On February 9, 2022, we reached an agreement in relation to KC-390 Millennium aircraft order, pursuant to which the total number of aircraft to be acquired by the Brazilian Air Force was reduced from 28 to 22, with deliveries scheduled until 2034. This reduction generated, in 2021, a reduction in our backlog of US$525.6 million and an impact of US$40.9 million on our net revenue, with no immediate effect on our cash account. For further information, see note 1.1.1 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Our aircraft sales are subject to cancellation and rescheduled delivery provisions that may reduce our future income, profitability, backlog and cash flow.

A portion of our aircraft firm orders is subject to significant contingencies before delivery. Prior to delivery, some of our purchase contracts may be terminated, or all or a portion of a particular firm order may be canceled, for different reasons, including (i) extended delays in delivering aircraft or failure to obtain certification of the aircraft or otherwise meet performance milestones and other requirements, (ii) the failure of a customer to honor its aircraft purchases or (iii) production rate shortfalls.

Our customers may also reschedule deliveries or cancel orders, particularly during an economic downturn. In 2021, we had income of US$7.1 million related to contractual fines paid by customers due to contract cancellations compared to contractual fine income of US$15.1 million in 2020 and US$31.0 million in 2019. Material cancellations, delays or decreases in the number of aircraft delivered in any year would reduce our sales and revenue, and, consequently, our profitability, cash flow and backlog.

6

Legal proceedings pertaining to the now terminated strategic partnership with Boeing, including arbitration proceedings related to Boeing’s termination of and failure to close the MTA and/or the Contribution Agreement, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have incurred and continue to incur additional costs in connection with the prosecution, defense or settlement of the currently pending and any future legal proceedings relating to the Boeing Transaction and/or Boeing’s termination of and failure to close the Boeing Transaction. Such legal proceedings include, among other matters, the ongoing arbitration proceedings between Embraer and Boeing that have commenced in connection with the wrongful termination of the MTA and/or the Contribution Agreement by Boeing. Both Embraer and Boeing have commenced arbitrations in connection with the termination. Such legal proceedings may also include litigation brought by our stockholders and holders of our ADRs related to the Boeing Transaction and/or Boeing’s termination of, and failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by, the MTA and the Contribution Agreement. We continue to strongly believe that Boeing wrongfully terminated the MTA and the Contribution Agreement, that Boeing was under an obligation to continue to comply with the terms of the MTA and the Contribution Agreement, that Embraer was in full compliance with its obligations under the MTA and the Contribution Agreement and that our pending arbitration proceedings against Boeing and its affiliates are a valid enforcement of our rights under the MTA and the Contribution Agreement.

We cannot predict the outcome of any such legal proceedings. Such legal proceedings may also create a distraction for our management team and board of directors and require time and attention. In the case of an adverse determination in the arbitration proceedings, we may not recover any damages from Boeing and we may be required to pay significant monetary damages to Boeing. In addition, even if we ultimately succeed in such legal proceedings, there may be negative publicity attached to such legal proceedings, which may materially and adversely affect our reputation and brand names. As a result, any legal proceedings relating to the Boeing Transaction or Boeing’s termination of and failure to close the Boeing Transaction could, among other things, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may face a number of challenges resulting from the development of new products and the possible pursuit of strategic opportunities and transactions.

We cannot assure you that our products will be accepted by our customers and the market, and if any of our new products do not meet customer expectations or market demand, our business would be adversely affected. In addition, as we continue to develop new products, we may need to reallocate existing resources and coordinate with new suppliers and risk-sharing partners. Finally, cost overruns and delays in the development and delivery of new products would adversely affect us.

We may pursue strategic opportunities and transactions, just as we have in the past, including joint ventures, partnerships, acquisitions or divestitures. We may face a number of challenges, including difficulties in identifying appropriate partners, assimilating with or adjusting to our partners’ or targets’ operations and personnel, maintaining internal standards and controls, as well as the diversion of our management’s focus from our ongoing business.

As disclosed elsewhere in this annual report and on note 1.1.4 to our audited financial statements, on December 21, 2021, we, through our subsidiary Eve UAM, LLC, or EVE, entered into a business combination agreement with Zanite Acquisition Corp., or Zanite, to further develop EVE’s comprehensive, practical and capital efficient urban air mobility (“UAM”) solution, through design and production of eVTOL, service and support, fleet operations and urban air traffic management. Upon the closing of the transaction, Zanite will change its name to Eve Holding, Inc., or Eve Holding, and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We will remain the majority shareholder with an approximately 82% equity stake in Eve Holding following the closing of transaction.

The expected results from this business combination are subject to risks, such as the establishment of the UAM market, the adoption by consumers of an entirely new form of mobility offered by eVTOL aircraft and the UAM market, possible underperformance of the UAM solutions developed by Eve Holding, including the eVTOL aircraft, risks related to a high-volume manufacturing of the planned eVTOL aircraft due to our limited operating history in this segment, among other risks. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our estimates with respect to the prospects, operations, growth potential, integration and other factors related to the business combination, as well as on the process of integration of the acquired assets, will materialize.

7

We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet challenges related to strategic opportunities and transactions. Accordingly, cannot assure you that our business or the trading price of our common shares or ADSs. will not face disruptions as a result of future opportunities or transactions or the markets’ perception thereof.

We may be required to refund cash contributions in connection with the production or development of our aircraft if certain milestones for our aircraft are not reached.

We have arrangements with our risk-sharing partners, pursuant to which they have contributed to us, in cash over the years, a total of US$1,369.5 million since the beginning of the development of the EMBRAER 170/190, Phenom 100/300, Legacy 450/500 jet families and the E2 jet family through December 31, 2021. Cash contributions would have to be refunded by us to the risk-sharing partners to the extent that we had failed to fulfill certain agreed-upon milestones. In 2021, we met all the required milestones, and as a result, the full amount of the cash contributions was nonrefundable.

Although, currently, no cash contributions from our risk-sharing partners are refundable, we may enter into similar arrangements, and if we are unable to meet certain milestones agreed upon with our risk-sharing partners, we may be required to refund cash contributions for which we have not established provisions.

We face significant international competition, which may adversely affect us.

The worldwide commercial aircraft manufacturing industry is highly competitive. Along with other large international companies, we are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of commercial aircraft. Although we have attained a significant market share for our commercial aircraft products, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain it. In order to remain competitive in the commercial aircraft manufacturing market in the long-term, we must continue to make technological, efficiency and performance enhancements to our aircraft.

As a relatively new entrant to the executive jets market, we face significant competition from companies with longer operating histories and established reputations in the industry. Some of our competitors in the executive jets market have a longer track record and a more established customer base. In addition, the level of pre-owned aircraft for sale in the market may continue to pressure the demand for new aircraft. This may impact the value of the pre-owned aircraft in our portfolio, despite a recent decrease in the level of pre-owned aircraft for sale in the market. We cannot assure you that we will increase our market share in the executive jets market business unit, that we will not experience a reduction in our current market share of this business unit, especially taking into account competitors’ growth and investments and possible limitations in our supply chain capacity.

Protectionist measures adopted by the governments of specific countries could adversely affect us. Our production is spread globally, with parts manufactured in one or more countries and assembled in another, and as a result any limitations to trade, including quotas, tariffs, subsidies or local content requirements, may increase our production costs and affect our capacity to compete in equal terms in the market for our products.

We work with a limited number of key suppliers.

We do not manufacture all of the parts and components used in the production of our aircraft. As of December 31, 2021, 75.0% of our consolidated production costs in our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Defense and Security business units consisted of materials and equipment purchased from our risk-sharing partners and other major suppliers. Risk-sharing arrangements are those in which suppliers are

8

responsible for the design, development and manufacture of major components or systems of our aircraft. In some cases, the aircraft are designed specifically to accommodate a particular component, which cannot be substituted by another manufacturer without significant investments. In addition, there exist only a limited number of suppliers of certain key components of aircraft globally. We work closely with our main suppliers in order to mitigate any potential supply chain risk, but we cannot assure you that these risks, which could negatively and adversely affect our operating and financial performance, will not materialize.

In addition, as a result of post-pandemic economic recovery which resulted in a global increase in demand, our suppliers may not have the ability to fully meet such increasing demands of their customers, including us, especially because of the reductions in workforce and other measures taken in response to the pandemic. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected by this change in the global supply-chain dynamics.

Developments related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect us.

Recent global developments relating to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have generated uncertainty in the global economy. We have suspended parts, maintenance, and technical support services for certain customers to comply with the sanctions imposed on Russia, Belarus, and certain regions of Ukraine by laws of jurisdictions to which we are subject.

Although there is no immediate concern over the availability of titanium in our supply chain, considering our strong current inventory position and the existing alternative sources in other countries, we will continue to monitor our supply chain in order to identify any potential constraints. In addition, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect people’s safety and activities of our employees, especially those residing in Europe.

We cannot predict how the developments related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will evolve and/or to what extent they may affect us.

Intellectual property violations may adversely affect us.

We rely on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights in technology and products used in our operations. Despite these efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, any of our direct or indirect intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, although we believe that we lawfully comply with the intellectual property rights granted to others, we may be accused of infringement on occasion and could have claims asserted against us in the future. These claims could harm our reputation, lead to fines and penalties and prevent us from offering certain products or services. Any claims or litigation in this area, whether we ultimately win or lose, could be time-consuming and costly, hurt our reputation and/or require us to enter into licensing arrangements. We may not be able to enter into these licensing arrangements on acceptable terms. If any infringement brought against us is successful, an injunction may also be ordered against us to stop infringing the alleged rights, which could adversely affect us, our research and/or production.

Unauthorized access to, or release or violation of our, our customers’ or our business partners’ systems and data could materially and adversely affect our business and reputation.

We, like all business organizations in the digital world, are subject to a broad range of cyber threats, including attacks, with varying levels of sophistication. These cyber threats are related to the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our systems and data, including our customers’ confidential, classified or personal information. In addition, because we have access to certain information technology systems of some of our customers, our systems may be subject to attacks aimed at accessing, tampering with or exposing our customers’ systems and their data.

9

We maintain extensive technical security controls, policy enforcement mechanisms, monitoring systems and management oversight in order to address these threats. While these measures are designed to prevent, detect and respond to unauthorized activity in our systems, certain types of attacks, including cyber-attacks, could materially and adversely affect our business and reputation.

Furthermore, some of our business partners, such as our suppliers, have significant access to confidential and strategic information regarding our projects and engineering data. Many of these suppliers face similar security threats and any attacks on their systems could result in unauthorized access to our systems or data. Any unauthorized access to, or release or violation of our systems and data or those of our customers or business partners could materially and adversely affect our business and reputation.

On November 24, 2020, we suffered a cybersecurity incident in our IT systems, which was later identified as a ransomware attack. The attack resulted in the encryption of an environment of virtual servers hosted in Brazil, prevented access to certain files and resulted in the inadvertent disclosure of data, some of which were made available on the dark web. We have reported the incident to law enforcement authorities.

Immediately after the incident, we employed significant IT resources, took measures to protect and strengthen the security of our systems, isolated the affected environment and repaired our network. As part of our reaction, we hired Tempest Security Intelligence, a leading cybersecurity firm, to investigate the incident and supplement our remediation efforts.

Despite our extensive security controls and measures to prevent the violation of our systems and data storage, we cannot guarantee that other cyberattacks or similar breaches will not happen in the future.

We may suffer from a lack of qualified personnel.

From time to time, there is significant competition within the aviation industry for skilled personnel in general and engineers in particular. To the extent this competition re-emerges, we may be unable to recruit and retain the necessary number of highly skilled engineers and other personnel we require. Failure to coordinate our resources in a timely manner or to attract and retain skilled personnel could slow down our development efforts and cause delays in production and deliveries of our aircraft, which would adversely affect us.

We are subject to environmental, health and safety risks.

Our products, as well as our manufacturing and service activities, are subject to environmental laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws regulate product performance or content, energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, water and noise pollution, hazardous substance management, human health risks arising from the exposure to hazardous or toxic materials and the remediation of soil and groundwater contamination.

In addition, environmental regulations related to climate change, including CO2 emissions standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization, or the ICAO, are one of the main drivers of global aerospace industry research and development investments since they may affect customer preferences. We may incur additional costs to improve or create new compliance programs to meet environmental regulatory requirements. We currently have several comprehensive programs in place to reduce the effects of our operations on the environment. For additional information, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—D. Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Moreover, our services and products must comply with health and safety laws and regulations, as well as substances and preparations. We strive to maintain the highest quality standards and closely follow potential and confirmed changes in laws and regulations to adapt, redesign, redevelop, recertify or eliminate our products to remain compliant with those claims. Seizures of non-compliant products may occur, and we may incur penalties. In the event of an accident or other serious incident involving a product, we may be required to conduct investigations and undertake preventive and remedial actions.

10

We may not be able to achieve our carbon emissions targets or make progress in other environmental, social, and governance initiatives.

In August 2021, we announced our intention to reach carbon neutrality by 2040 reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions at least by 50%. This commitment relies mostly on the purchase of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), electricity from renewable sources and carbon offsets. Our estimates concerning the timing and cost of implementing our targets are subject to several risks and uncertainties, such as low availability of SAF, especially in Brazil where the majority of operations is concentrated, and variations in fuels, energy and offset prices. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that our targets will be achieved.

We are setting our strategies and new products aiming to a net-zero emission aviation by 2050. In order to reinforce this commitment, we signed in 2021 with other representatives of the aerospace sector, the commitment “Fly Net Zero.” This goal will be supported by accelerated efficiency measures, energy transition and innovation across the aviation sector and in partnership with governments around the world.

We have also committed to certain diversity, inclusion and education targets, such as having 50% diverse hires in all new entry level employee programs by 2025; bring more than 80% of the students from Embraer high schools to public universities; having 20% of women in senior leadership positions by 2025, among others.

Although we expect that our ESG commitments will improve our operational and financial performance on the long term, our targets may not materialize within the time frame we expect or at all, since they depend on several factors over which we have no control or influence.

We benefit from certain tax and other government-granted benefits and the suspension, cancellation or non-renewal of those benefits would have a material adverse effect on us.

Similarly to other Brazilian companies across multiple industries, we receive certain tax and other government-granted benefits, including incentives related to our export and research and development activities. To take advantage of the tax benefits, we must meet certain requirements, such as making investments in research and development, record taxable profits, among others. For additional information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Tax Incentives.”

Moreover, these incentives may be cancelled or suspended by the Brazilian government at any time without prior notice, and the maintenance of such incentive plans by the Brazilian government depends on factors we cannot control or predict. Although in 2021 we did not recognize any gains from tax incentives, the lack of these benefits could negatively impact our sales deductions and tax on revenue and consequently our net income. We cannot assure you that these incentives will be maintained or renewed or that we will be able to obtain new incentives.

Scope clause restrictions in airline pilot contracts may limit demand for commercial aircraft in the U.S. market.

A key limiting factor in demand for regional jets is the existence of scope clauses contained in airline pilot contracts. These scope clauses, which are more prevalent in North America, but also exist in other important regions, including Europe, are negotiated between the airlines and the pilot unions, usually every three years, for purposes of imposing restrictions relating to the (i) number of aircraft that a regional carrier may operate; (ii) number of seats in an aircraft that a regional carrier may operate; and (iii) the weight of the aircraft that a particular regional carrier may operate. A round of negotiations between the major airlines and the pilot unions started at the end of 2019 and, as of the date of this annual report, still ongoing. As a result, our opportunities for near-term growth in the U.S. regional jets market in the 76-seat jet category may be limited. In this context and considering that the United States is the most important market for the E175 aircraft, on February 18, 2022, we announced a three-year pause on the development of the E175-E2 jet which is expected to entry into service between 2027 and 2028.We cannot assure you that current restrictions will be reduced, or that they will not be expanded, including by amending these scope clauses to cover larger-sized commercial aircraft.

11

The supply of pilots to the airline industry may be limited.

U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, regulations may negatively impact the supply of qualified pilot candidates eligible to be hired in the airline industry. A first officer in U.S. domestic operations must hold an airline transport pilot certificate and an aircraft type rating to fly the aircraft. An airline transport pilot certificate requires that a pilot be 23 years of age and have 1,500 hours total time as a pilot. Due to these requirements, there may be a growing scarcity of new entrant pilots who meet the experience qualifications, mainly affecting regional carriers which are the usual entry airlines for new pilots (major airlines are expected to hire many of their experienced pilots).

In order to mitigate this issue, certain airlines, for example American Airlines, Jet Blue, and United Airlines, especially in the United States, have adopted internal measures, including but not limited to creating professional pilot programs and providing financing alternatives. However, any inability to recruit, train and retain qualified pilots may materially affect our customers’ operations.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many professional pilots were laid-off and may choose to pursue another career. Additionally, the uncertainty related to the future development of the aviation industry, may decrease newcomers’ interest for the profession.

We are subject to stringent certification and regulatory requirements, which may adversely affect us.

Our civil aviation products are subject to regulation in Brazil and in each jurisdiction where our customers are located. The aviation authority in Brazil, known as the National Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC), or the Brazilian Aviation Authority, as well as authorities in other countries in which our customers are located, most notably the FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency, or the EASA, must certify our civil aviation products before we can deliver them to our customers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain certification of our aircraft on a timely basis or at all. In addition, complying with the requirements of regulatory authorities can be both expensive and time-consuming. If we fail to obtain a required certification from an aviation authority for any of our aircraft, that aviation authority can prohibit the registration of that aircraft within its jurisdiction until certification has been obtained. Changes in government regulations and certification procedures could also delay our start of production as well as entry of a new product into a new market. Despite our continuous efforts to strictly observe and comply with all aviation certification and other regulatory requirements, we cannot predict how future laws or changes in the interpretation, administration or enforcement of those laws will affect us. We may be required to incur significantly more costs to comply with these laws and/or to respond to these changes.

Any accidents or catastrophic events involving our aircraft could adversely affect us.

We believe that our reputation and the safety record of our aircraft are important selling points for our products. However, the safe operation of our aircraft depends to a significant degree on a number of factors largely outside our control, including our customers’ proper maintenance and repair of our aircraft and pilot skill. The occurrence of one or more accidents or catastrophic events involving one of our aircraft could adversely affect our reputation and future sales, as well as the market price of our common shares and the ADSs.

Some of our aircraft sales may be subject to financial and residual value guarantees and trade-in options that may require us to make significant cash disbursements.

For certain aircraft sales contracts, we have in the past and may guarantee a portion of the financial value and the residual value for aircraft that we will deliver. Financial guarantees are provided to financing parties to support a portion of the payment obligations of purchasers of our aircraft under their financing arrangements to mitigate default-related losses. These guarantees are secured by the financed aircraft.

12

Residual value guarantees typically ensure that, at the exercise date, the relevant aircraft will have a residual market value equal to a percentage of the original sale price. The residual value guarantees are subject to a limitation (a “cap”). In the event of an exercise by a purchaser of its residual value guarantee, we will bear the difference, if any, between the guaranteed residual value and the market value of the aircraft at the time of exercise, limited to the cap.

As of December 31, 2021, we were not subject to any exposure with financial and residual value guarantees. In 2021,we eliminated a total exposure of US$183.3 million as of December 31, 2020 through settlement and liquidation agreements, as well as the expiration of certain guarantees provided. We made payments of US$49.5 million in financial guarantees in 2021 and had, as of December 31, 2021, accounts payable in the amount of US$18.7 million that are to be liquidated over the course of the next fiscal years (US$15.8 million in the short-term). We may grant financial guarantees in new sales orders in accordance with the financial risk management policy approved by the Board of Directors. Certain orders included in the Backlog may also offers options for financial guarantees that may be exercised by clients upon aircraft being delivered. For additional discussion to these guarantees in Note 25 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.”

In addition, we sometimes provide trade-in options to our customers in purchase agreements for new aircraft. These options provide customers with the right to trade in aircraft upon the purchase and acceptance of a new aircraft. In 2021we, accepted five aircraft, with a total invoiced value of US$30.4 million, as compared to seven aircraft accepted in 2020, with a total invoiced value of US$43.4 million, for trade-in pursuant to trade-in options. In 2019, we accepted 17 aircraft, with a total invoiced value of US$84.9 million, for trade-in pursuant to trade-in options. The trade-in price is determined based on the new aircraft sold, as well as other factors, including a market value assessment performed by independent third-party appraisers. We may be required to accept trade-ins at prices that could result in financial loss for us when we receive the aircraft.

We continuously re-evaluate our risk related to financial guarantees and trade-in obligations based on a number of factors, including the estimated future market value of our aircraft based on third-party appraisals, information on similar aircraft remarketing in the secondary market and the credit rating of the customers.

In 2021, 2020 and 2019, we maintained accounts payable, provisions and contract liabilities on financial guarantees and residual value guarantees of US$18.7 million, US$125.2 million (including accounts payable of US$34.6 million in relation to financial guarantees and residual value guarantees claimed by the counterparties in 2020) and US$140.3 million, respectively, related to exposure from financial guarantees offered to the main financing agent of the ERJ 140/145 aircraft and Embraer 170/190 aircraft acquired by and delivered to this customer. Any unexpected decrease in the market value of the aircraft covered by trade-in rights or financial guarantees would decrease our ability to recover the amounts payable to satisfy our obligations and cause us to incur additional charges to income. If we are required to pay amounts related to the guarantees, we may not have sufficient cash or other financial resources available to do so and may need to seek financing to fund these payments. We cannot assure you that the prevailing market conditions at the time would allow us to resell or lease the underlying aircraft at its anticipated fair value or in a timely manner. Consequently, honoring our financial guarantee or trade-in obligations could require us to make significant cash disbursements in a given year, which, in turn, would reduce our cash flow in that year.

Any decrease in Brazilian government-sponsored customer financing or increases in government-sponsored financing that benefits our competitors, may decrease the competitiveness of our aircraft.

Traditionally, aircraft original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, from time to time, have received support from governments through governmental export credit agencies, or ECAs, in order to offer competitive financing conditions to their customers, especially in periods of credit tightening from the traditional lending market.

13

Official government support may constitute unofficial subsidies causing market distortions, which may rise to disputes among governments at the World Trade Organization, or WTO. Since 2007, an agreement known as the Aircraft Sector Understanding, or ASU, developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, has provided guidelines for the predictable, consistent and transparent use of government-supported export financing for the sale or lease of civil aircraft, in order to establish a “level-playing field.” ECAs from signatory countries are required to offer terms and conditions no more favorable than those contained in the ASU’s base financial agreement when financing sales of aircraft that compete with those produced by the OEMs of their respective countries. The effect of the agreement is to encourage aircraft purchasers to focus on the price and quality of aircraft products offered by OEMs rather than on the financial packages offered by their respective governments.

The Brazilian ECA, Brazilian Social and Economic Development Bank (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social), or BNDES, together with the Brazilian National Treasury Export Guarantee Fund, offer financing and export credit insurance to our customers under terms and conditions required by the ASU. Any reduction or restriction to the Brazilian export financing program, and any increase in our customers’ financing costs for participation in this program, above those provided in the ASU’s base financial agreement, may cause the cost-competitiveness of our aircraft to decline. Other external factors may also impact our competitiveness in the market, including, but not limited to, aircraft OEMs from countries which are not signatories to the ASU agreement offering attractive financing packages, or any new government subsidies supporting any of our major competitors.

From 2005, when we first delivered EMBRAER 170/190 jet family, through 2021, approximately 29% of our Commercial Aviation deliveries was subject to official export credits. In 2020 and 2021, approximately 80% and 38%, respectively, of our Commercial Aviation deliveries were supported by the Brazilian export financing program, in 2020, this significant percentage was due to the COVID-19 pandemic effects. We cannot assure you that the Brazilian government, for policy reasons or otherwise, will not reduce or discontinue this type of funding for the financing of our aircraft or that other sources of funding will be available to our customers. The loss or significant reduction of funds available to our customers, without an adequate substitute, could lead to a reduction in sales of our aircraft or to an increase of eventual aircraft financing arrangements.

Risks Relating to Brazil

Brazilian political and economic conditions have a direct impact on our business and the trading price of our common shares and ADSs.

The Brazilian government has frequently intervened in the Brazilian economy and occasionally has made drastic changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and affect other policies and regulations have involved, among other measures, increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies, price controls, currency exchange and remittance controls, devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of the common shares and the ADSs may be adversely affected by changes in policy or regulations at the federal, state or municipal level involving or affecting factors, such as:

• interest rates;

• currency fluctuations;

• monetary policies;

• inflation;

• liquidity of capital and lending markets;

14

• tax policies;

• labor regulations;

• energy and water shortages and rationing; and

• other political, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian government would implement changes in policy, regulation or legislation creates instability in the Brazilian economy, increasing the volatility of the Brazilian securities markets. These uncertainties and other future developments in the Brazilian economy may adversely affect our activities, and consequently our operating results, and may also adversely affect the trading price of our common shares and ADSs. We cannot predict which policies the Brazilian government will adopt or if these policies or changes in current policies may have an adverse effect on us or the Brazilian economy. These factors are compounded as Brazil emerges from a prolonged recession after a period of a slow recovery, with only meager GDP growth in 2019, contraction again in 2020 and small growth in 2021.

The gross domestic product, or GDP, had a growth rate of 4.6% in 2021, compared to a contraction rate of 4.1% in 2020, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to growth rates of 1.1% in 2019 and 2018, 1.3% in 2017 and contraction rates of 3.3% in 2016 and 3.5% in 2015, compared to growth rates of 0.5% in 2014, 3.0% in 2013, 1.9% in 2012, 4.0% in 2011, and 7.5% in 2010. According to the Focus bulletin dated March 25, 2022, the consensus of Brazilian economists was for expectations of Brazilian GDP to increase 0.5% in 2022.

Our results of operations and financial condition have been, and will continue to be, affected by the growth rate of the Brazilian GDP. Developments in the Brazilian economy may affect Brazil’s growth rates and, consequently, the use of our products and services.

Political instability may adversely affect our business and results of operations, the price of our common shares and our debt instruments.

Brazil’s political environment has historically influenced, and continues to influence, the performance of the country’s economy. Political crises have affected, and continue to affect, the confidence of investors and that of the public in general, resulting in economic downturn and heightened volatility of securities issued by Brazilian companies.

Brazilian markets have experienced heightened volatility due to uncertainties derived from ongoing investigations on money laundering and corruption conducted by the Brazilian Federal Police and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, and the impact of these investigations on the Brazilian economy and political environment.

The ultimate outcome of these investigations is uncertain, but they had an adverse impact on the image and reputation of the implicated companies, and on the general market perception of the Brazilian economy. We cannot predict the effects of further political developments on the Brazilian economy, including the policies that the Brazilian government may adopt or the outcome and development of any of these investigations, which has affected and may continue to adversely affect the Brazilian economy and may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares and ADSs.

In addition, the Brazilian economy is subject to the effects of uncertainty over political developments in Brazil. In 2022, Brazil will hold elections for President, senators, federal deputies and state deputies. Electoral uncertainty could lead to high volatility in Brazilian financial markets, and uncertainty regarding political developments may have material adverse effects on the macroeconomic environment in Brazil and, consequently, on us.

15

Inflation and government efforts to combat inflation may contribute significantly to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets and, consequently, may adversely affect the market value of our common shares.

Historically, Brazil has experienced high inflation rates. Inflation and certain actions taken by the Central Bank to curb it have had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. After the implementation of the Plano Real in 1994, the annual rate of inflation in Brazil decreased significantly, as measured by the National Broad Consumer Price Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), or IPCA and Brazil’s General Price Index (Índice Geral de Preços – Mercado), or IGP-M. Inflation measured by the IPCA index was 10.1%, 4.5% and 4.3% in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Inflation measured by IGP-M index was 17.8% in 2021, 23.1% in 2020 and 7.3% in 2019.

Inflation and the Brazilian government’s measures to fight it, principally the Central Bank monetary policy, have had and may have significant effects on the Brazilian economy and us. Among the effects of such inflationary pressure is a rise in labor costs. Contracts in U.S. dollars, which represent the majority of our Executive Aviation and Services and Support business units, are adjusted for U.S. inflation, through the application of the U.S. Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers index when delivery is not in the same year of the sale and depending upon the specific commercial terms negotiated in the contracts. While contracts in Brazilian real represent a small portion of the Executive Aviation business unit, the same price adjustment mechanism concept applies using national index, typically the IGP-M. Major contracts in our Defense and Security business unit are adjusted for Brazilian inflation. If Brazil experiences high inflation again, our operating expenses and borrowing costs may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investor confidence decreases, the price of our common shares and ADSs may fall.

Tight monetary policies with high interest rates have restricted and may restrict Brazil’s growth and the availability of credit. Conversely, more lenient government and Central Bank policies and interest rate decreases have triggered and may trigger increases in inflation, and, consequently, growth volatility and the need for sudden and significant interest rate increases, which could adversely affect us. Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our ability to incur additional debt and increase the cost of service of debt, resulting in an increase in our financial costs, which may reduce our liquidity, thereby adversely affecting our ability to meet our financial obligations. As of December 31, 2021, 4.1% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents were indexed to the variation of the SELIC and CDI rates. Therefore, fluctuations in Brazilian interest rates and inflation may adversely affect us. On the other hand, a significant decrease in the CDI or inflation rates may adversely affect the revenue we receive from our financial investments.

Exchange rate volatility may adversely affect us.

The Brazilian currency has, during the last decades, experienced frequent and substantial variations in relation to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. In 2019, the real depreciated against the U.S. dollar in comparison to December 31, 2018, reaching R$4.0307 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2019. In 2020, the real depreciated against the U.S. dollar in comparison to December 31, 2019, reaching R$5.1967 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2020. In 2021, the real depreciated against the U.S. dollar in comparison to December 31, 2020, reaching R$5.5805 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2021. There can be no assurance that the real will not depreciate further against the U.S. dollar.

Depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar creates inflationary pressures in Brazil and causes increases in interest rates, which negatively affects the growth of the Brazilian economy as a whole, curtails access to foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary governmental policies. Depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar has also, including in the context of an economic slowdown, led to decreased consumer spending, deflationary pressures and reduced growth of the economy as a whole. On the other hand, appreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies could lead to a deterioration of the Brazilian foreign exchange current accounts, as well as dampen export-driven growth. Depending on the circumstances, either depreciation or appreciation of the real may materially and adversely affect us.

16

Although most of our revenue and debt is U.S. dollar-denominated, the relationship of the real to the value of the U.S. dollar, and the rate of depreciation of the real relative to the prevailing rate of inflation, may adversely affect us, mainly due to the following factors:

• Approximately 13.2% of our total costs are incurred and denominated in reais.

• Because taxes on income are largely determined and paid in reais based on our Brazilian tax books, the income tax expense line item of our statements of income, which has the U.S. dollar as our functional currency, is significantly impacted by appreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar to the extent we must record deferred taxes resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on the reported basis of our nonmonetary assets (mainly property, plant and equipment and intangible assets). If the real had devalued or appreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar in relation to the actual exchange rate as of December 31, 2021, the deferred income tax expense would have been higher or lower by approximately US$65.8 million. For additional information on the effects of the variation of the real against the U.S. dollar, see Notes 24 and 35 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements

• Depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar or other currencies would reduce our real-denominated revenues from our Defense and Security business unit, when converted to the U.S. dollar as our functional currency.

• Appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar or other currencies increases the costs of our products when measured in U.S. dollars, and may result in a decrease in our margins.

Depreciations of the real relative to the U.S. dollar could also reduce the U.S. dollar value of distributions and dividends on our ADSs and may also reduce the market value of our common shares and ADSs. While our functional currency is the U.S. dollar our shareholders’ equity is required under Brazilian Corporate Law to be accounted and maintained in Brazilian reais, including amounts to be distributed to shareholders (dividends and interest on own capital). In 2021, while we had retained earnings recorded in U.S. dollars, the foreign exchange losses absorbed these earnings in Brazilian reais, causing a loss, which restricted our ability to pay dividends. For more information, see “8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividends and Dividends Policy.”

As a result, we may be materially and adversely affected by exchange rate variations.

Developments and the perception of risk in other countries, especially other emerging markets, may adversely affect the market price of Brazilian securities, including our ADSs, our common shares and our debt instruments.

The market value of securities of Brazilian issuers, including securities issued by us, may be affected by economic and market conditions in other countries, including the United States, European Union and Latin American countries and other emerging market countries. Although economic conditions in those countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Brazil, investors’ reactions to developments in other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Brazilian issuers. Crises elsewhere may diminish investor interest in securities of Brazilian issuers, including ours. This could adversely affect the trading price of our securities and could also make it more difficult for us to access the capital markets and finance our operations in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.

Any further downgrading of Brazil’s could adversely affect the market price of our common shares, ADSs and debt instruments.

Credit ratings affect investors’ perceptions of risk and, as a result, the yields required on debt issuances in the financial markets. Rating agencies regularly evaluate Brazil and its sovereign ratings, taking into account a number of factors including macroeconomic trends, fiscal and budgetary conditions, indebtedness and the prospect of change in these factors.

17

In January 2018, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Brazil’s sovereign debt credit rating from BB to BB-minus with a stable outlook in light of doubts regarding the presidential election and social security reform efforts. In February 2019, Standard & Poor’s affirmed Brazil’s sovereign credit rating at BB-minus with a stable outlook. In December 2019, Standard & Poor’s affirmed Brazil’s sovereign credit rating at BB-minus with a positive outlook. In April 2020, Standard & Poor’s maintained Brazil’s sovereign credit rating at BB-minus and revised the outlook on this rating to stable, which were reaffirmed in November 2021.

In April 2018, Moody’s maintained Brazil’s sovereign debt credit rating at Ba2, but changed its prospect from negative to stable, maintaining it in September 2018, citing the expected new government spending cuts. In May 2019, Moody’s affirmed Brazil’s sovereign credit rating at Ba2 and changed the outlook to stable. In May 2020, Moody’s reaffirmed Brazil’s sovereign credit rating at Ba2 with a stable outlook.

In February 2018, Fitch downgraded Brazil’s sovereign credit rating again to BB-negative, citing, among other reasons, fiscal deficits, the increasing burden of public debt and an inability to implement reforms that would structurally improve Brazil’s public finances. In November 2019, Fitch maintained Brazil’s sovereign credit rating at BB-minus, citing the risk of tax and economic reforms and political instability. In May 2020, Fitch changed its outlook to negative in the context of developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was reaffirmed in May and in December 2021

As of the date of this annual report, Brazil’s sovereign credit ratings were BB- with a stable outlook, Ba2 with a stable outlook and BB- with a negative outlook by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively, which is below investment grade. Any further downgrading in Brazil’s sovereign credit ratings or our rating may increase the perception of risk of investors and, as a result, increase the future cost of debt issuances, adversely affecting us.

We cannot guarantee that the rating agencies will maintain these classifications in relation to Brazilian credit and any further downgrade in Brazil’s sovereign credit ratings could materially adversely affect the trading price of our debt and equity securities.

Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and ADSs

If holders of our ADSs exchange the ADSs for common shares, they risk losing the ability to remit foreign currency abroad and Brazilian tax advantages.

The Brazilian custodian for the common shares has obtained an electronic certificate of registration from the Central Bank permitting it to remit foreign currency abroad for payments of dividends and other distributions relating to the common shares or upon the disposition of the common shares. These remittances under an ADR program are subject to a specific tax treatment in Brazil that may be more favorable to a foreign investor if compared to remitting gains originated from securities directly acquired by the investor in the Brazilian regulated stock markets. Therefore, an investor who opts to surrender ADSs in exchange for the underlying common share may be subject to less favorable tax treatment on gains with respect to these investments.

Pursuant to CMN Resolution No. 4,373, in order for the investor to surrender ADSs for the purpose of withdrawing the common shares represented thereby, the investor is required to appoint a Brazilian financial institution duly authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and CVM to act as its legal representative, who shall be responsible, among other things, for keeping and updating the investors’ certificates of registrations with the Central Bank of Brazil, which entitles registered foreign investors to buy and sell directly on the B3 – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, or B3. These arrangements may require additional expenses from the foreign investor. Moreover, if the representatives fail to obtain or update the relevant certificates of registration, investors may incur additional expenses or be subject to operational delays which could affect their ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to the common shares or the return of their capital in a timely manner.

18

The custodian’s certificate of registration or any foreign capital registration directly obtained by the holders may be affected by future legislative or regulatory changes, and we cannot assure the holders that additional restrictions applicable to them, the disposition of the underlying common or preferred shares, or the repatriation of the proceeds from the process will not be imposed in the future.

The Brazilian government has veto power over the change in our corporate control, and of our name, trademark or corporate purpose and over the creation or alteration of our Defense and Security programs, and its interests could conflict with the interests of the holders of our common shares and ADSs.

The Brazilian government holds one share of a special class of our common stock called a “golden share,” which carries veto power over our change of control, name, trademark or corporate purpose and over the creation or alteration of our Defense and Security programs (whether or not the Brazilian government participates in those programs). For example, in 2010, we changed our corporate name to Embraer S.A. and altered our bylaws to allow us to enter the defense and security market, which required the approval of the Brazilian government. The Brazilian government may veto transactions that may be in the interest of the holders of our common shares or ADSs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain approvals from the Brazilian government in the future to effect important corporate changes or transactions, or other important corporate changes that may be required.

Our bylaws contain provisions that could discourage our acquisition or prevent or delay transactions that you may favor.

Our bylaws contain provisions that have the effect of avoiding the concentration of our common shares in the hands of a small group of investors to promote the dispersed ownership of those shares. These provisions require any shareholder or group of shareholders that acquires or becomes the holder of (i) 35% or more of the total shares issued by us or (ii) other rights over shares issued by us that represent more than 35% of our capital, to submit to the Brazilian government a request for making a public tender offer to purchase all of our shares on the terms specified in our bylaws. If the request is approved, the shareholder or group of shareholders must commence the public tender offer to purchase all of our shares within 60 days of the date of approval. If the request is refused, the shareholder or group of shareholders must sell all of their shares that exceed the 35% limit within 30 days, so that the holding of this shareholder or group of shareholders falls below 35% of our capital stock. These provisions may have anti-takeover effects and may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition, including transactions in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their common shares and ADSs. These provisions can only be altered or overridden with the approval of our board of directors and our shareholders in a shareholders’ meeting convened for this purpose and with the consent of the Brazilian government, as holder of the golden share.

Our bylaws contain provisions that limit the voting rights of certain shareholders, including non-Brazilian shareholders.

Our bylaws contain provisions that limit the rights of a shareholder or group of shareholders, including brokers acting on behalf of one or more holders of ADSs, to exercise voting rights in respect of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock at any general meeting of shareholders. See “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Voting Rights of Shares—Limitations on the Voting Rights of Certain Holders of Common Shares.”

Our bylaws also contain provisions that limit the right of non-Brazilian shareholders to exercise voting rights in respect of more than two-thirds of the voting rights that may be exercised by Brazilian shareholders present at any general meeting of shareholders. This limitation will effectively prevent our takeover by non-Brazilian shareholders and limit the ability of non-Brazilian shareholders to effect control over us. For additional information on our voting rights, see “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Voting Rights of Shares—Limitation on the Voting Rights of Non-Brazilian Shareholders.”

19

The absence of a single, controlling shareholder or group of controlling shareholders may render us susceptible to shareholder disputes or other unanticipated developments.

The absence of a single, controlling shareholder or group of controlling shareholders may create difficulties for our shareholders to approve certain transactions, because, among other things, the minimum quorum required by law for the approval of certain matters may not be reached. We and our shareholders may not be afforded the same protections provided by the Brazilian Corporate Law against abusive measures taken by other shareholders and, as a result, may not be compensated for any losses incurred. Any sudden and unexpected changes in our management, changes in our corporate policies or strategic direction, takeover attempts or any disputes among shareholders regarding their respective rights may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise their voting rights.

Holders of ADSs may only exercise their voting rights with respect to the underlying common shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement governing our ADSs. Under the deposit agreement, ADS holders must vote the common shares underlying their ADSs by giving voting instructions to the depositary. Upon receipt of the voting instructions from the ADS holder, the depositary will vote the underlying common shares in accordance with these instructions. Otherwise, ADS holders will not be able to exercise their voting right unless they surrender the ADS for cancellation in exchange for the common shares.

Pursuant to our bylaws, the first call for a shareholders’ meeting must be published at least 30 days in advance of the meeting and the second call must be published at least 15 days in advance of the meeting. When a shareholders’ meeting is convened, holders of ADSs may not receive sufficient advance notice to surrender the ADSs in exchange for the underlying common shares to allow them to vote with respect to any specific matter. In addition, the depositary has no obligation to notify ADS holders of an upcoming vote or distribute voting cards and related materials to ADS holders, unless we specifically instruct the depositary to do so. If we ask the depositary to seek voting instructions from ADS holders, the depositary will notify ADS holders of the upcoming vote and will arrange to deliver proxy cards to those holders. We cannot assure you that ADS holders will receive proxy cards in time to allow them to instruct the depositary to vote the shares underlying their ADSs. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for an untimely solicitation of voting instructions. As a result, holders of ADSs may not be able to fully exercise their voting rights.

The relative illiquidity and volatility of the Brazilian securities markets may substantially limit the ability of holders of our common shares or the ADSs to sell the common shares underlying ADSs at the price and time they desire.

Investing in securities, including our common shares or the ADSs, of issuers from emerging market countries, including Brazil, involves a higher degree of risk than investing in securities of issuers from more developed countries.

The Brazilian securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States and other jurisdictions and are not as highly regulated or supervised as some other markets. The relatively small market capitalization and illiquidity of the Brazilian equity markets may substantially limit the ability of holders of our common shares or ADSs to sell the common shares or the ADSs at the price and time desired. For additional information on the B3, see “Item 9. The Offer and Listing—C. Markets—Trading on the B3.”

Holders of our ADSs might be unable to exercise preemptive rights with respect to the common shares.

Holders of our ADSs may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to the common shares underlying their ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We are not obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the shares or other securities relating to these

20

preemptive rights, and we cannot assure holders of our ADSs that we will file any registration statement. Unless we file a registration statement or an exemption from registration applies, holders of our ADSs may receive only the net proceeds from the sale of their preemptive rights by the depositary or, if the preemptive rights cannot be sold, the rights will lapse.

Judgments of Brazilian courts with respect to our common shares will be payable only in reais.

If proceedings are brought in the courts of Brazil seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of the common shares, we will not be required to discharge our obligations in a currency other than reais. Under Brazilian exchange control limitations, an obligation in Brazil to pay amounts denominated in a currency other than reais may only be satisfied in Brazilian currency at the exchange rate, as determined by the Central Bank, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and those amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective payment date. The then prevailing exchange rate may not provide non-Brazilian investors with full compensation for any claim arising out of or related to our obligations under the common shares or the ADSs.

Item 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

Corporate History

Embraer S.A. is a publicly held corporation duly incorporated under the laws of Brazil with an indefinite term of duration. Our principal executive office is located at Avenida Dra. Ruth Cardoso, 8,501 (formerly known as Avenida Nações Unidas, No. 8,501), 30th floor (part), Eldorado Business Tower, Pinheiros, ZIP Code 05425-070, city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Our telephone number is 55-11- 3040-6874, and our internet address is ri.embraer.com.br. Our agent for service of process in the United States is National Registered Agents, Inc., with offices at 875 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 501, New York, New York 10001.

Originally formed in 1969 by the Brazilian government, we became a publicly held corporation in 1989 and were privatized in 1994. In the privatization process, the Brazilian government created the golden share, a special class of shares to ensure that the Brazilian government has certain veto rights, in particular regarding military programs.

In 2000, we registered with the SEC and listed our American Depositary Receipts in the New York Stock Exchange.

In 2006, we promoted a corporate restructuring process focused on simplifying our capital structure, which since then is comprised of only common shares, and we also joined a special listing segment of the B3 known as Novo Mercado, enhancing our corporate governance standards. Since then, we do not have a controlling shareholder or controlling shareholder group.

In 2010, our shareholders approved a change of our corporate name from “Embraer – Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A.” to “Embraer S.A.,” as well as the addition of capabilities and the broadening of the scope of our Defense and Security business unit to allow this business unit to manufacture and trade equipment, materials, systems, software, accessories and components for the defense, security and energy industries, as well as to perform technical activities and services related to these areas. As a result, our bylaws were amended to reflect the addition of these activities to our corporate purposes.

In 2011 and 2012, we made acquisitions and entered into partnerships in the Defense and Security business unit, including the acquisition of Atech Negócios em Tecnologias S.A. and Bradar Indústria S.A., or Bradar (which was merged into Embraer in 2018), Savis Tecnologia e Sistemas S.A. (which was merged into Embraer in 2021) and Visiona Tecnologia Espacial S.A.

21

In 2020, through our subsidiary Embraer Defesa e Segurança Participações S.A., we acquired the control acquisition of Tempest Serviços de Informática S.A. and its subsidiaries, or Tempest, the largest cybersecurity company in Brazil. For further information, see Note 13 to our audited financial statements.

On January 1, 2020, we implemented the internal carve-out of our Commercial Aviation business unit by means of the contribution by Embraer to Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A. (“Yaborã”) of the net assets comprising assets, liabilities, properties, rights and obligations (subject to certain exceptions) related to our Commercial Aviation business unit, through a capital increase. On October 28, 2021, our board of directors approved a partial spin-off of Yaborã, whereby Yaborã transferred substantially all of its assets to Embraer, effective as of January 1, 2022. The purpose of such spin-off was for the Commercial Aviation business unit to be developed directly by Embraer after the wrongful termination of the Boeing Transaction by Boeing.

In 2021, we, through our subsidiary Eve UAM, LLC, or EVE, entered into a business combination agreement with Zanite Acquisition Corp., or Zanite, to further develop EVE’s comprehensive, practical and capital efficient urban air mobility (“UAM”) solution, through design and production of eVTOL, service and support, fleet operations and urban air traffic management. Upon the closing of the transaction, Zanite will change its name to Eve Holding, Inc., or Eve Holding, and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Business Development

We have grown from a government-controlled company, established to develop and produce aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force, into a publicly held company that produces aircraft for commercial and executive aviation and for defense and security purposes and related services.

As part of our evolution, we have obtained, developed and enhanced our engineering and technological capabilities through our own development of products for the Brazilian Air Force and through joint product development with foreign companies on specific projects. We have applied these capabilities that we gained from our Defense and Security business unit to further develop our Commercial Aviation business unit.

Our first regional aircraft was the Bandeirante, a 19-passenger twin-engine non-pressurized turboprop aircraft initially designed to service the transport needs of the Brazilian Air Force. This aircraft was certified in 1973. The Bandeirante was followed by the EMB 120 Brasília, which was certified in 1985. The EMB 120 Brasília is a high performance, pressurized turboprop commercial aircraft seating up to 30 passengers and was designed to serve the longer routes and higher passenger traffic of the growing regional aircraft market. Drawing upon the design of the EMB 120 Brasília and the jet technology acquired in our development of the AM-X, a jet strike bomber for the Brazilian Air Force, we developed the ERJ 145 regional aircraft family, our first jet product for commercial use. This family comprises three aircraft, which seat up to 37, 44 and 50 passengers. The first member of the ERJ 145 family, the ERJ 145, was certified in 1996. We have expanded our jet product line with the development of the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family, which has the capacity to seat between 70 and 118 passengers and was designed to serve the aircraft market’s trend towards larger, higher volume and longer-range jets. The first member of this family, the EMBRAER 170, was certified in February 2004, and its derivatives, the EMBRAER 175 and the EMBRAER 190, were certified in December 2004 and August 2005, respectively. The certification of the EMBRAER 195 was granted in June 2006. In June 2013, Embraer launched the second generation of its E-Jets family of commercial aircraft, the E-Jets E2, comprising three new aircraft, the, E190-E2 and E195-E2. The E190-E2 and the E195-E2 entered service in April of 2018 and September of 2019, respectively. Our Commercial Aviation business unit accounted for 31.4%, 29.6% and 40.9% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, while, on February 18, 2022, we announced the three-year pause on the development of E175-E2 jet which is expected to entry into service between 2027 and 2028.

We developed a line of executive jets throughout time, first the Legacy 600, which was discontinued in 2016 to focus on the success of its longer-range successor, the Legacy 650, followed by the Phenom 100, an entry-level jet, and the Phenom 300, a light jet, both launched in 2005. The Lineage 1000, an ultra-large

22

jet, was added in 2006 as the largest executive jet in our executive jets portfolio and an enhanced version was introduced in 2013, the Lineage 1000E. In 2008, we launched the Legacy 450 and Legacy 500, both medium cabin jets. In 2009, we presented the Legacy 650, a large executive jet that is positioned in our portfolio between the Legacy 500 and the Lineage 1000E. The Legacy 500 and the Legacy 450 entered into service in October of 2014 and December 2015, respectively. In 2016, we launched the Phenom 100EV and the Legacy 650E. In 2017, the Phenom 100EV entered into service and we also launched the Phenom 300E, an enhanced version of our Phenom 300, with a revolutionary interior design, which entered into service in October 2017 with a demonstration aircraft. In our latest development, we introduced the new Praetor 500 midsize and Praetor 600 super-midsize business jets in 2018, during a company event in the Orlando Executive Airport. The Praetor 600 and Praetor 500 entered into service in June and in December 2019, respectively. In 2019, we successfully implemented the sunset strategy of the Legacy 650 and Lineage 1000E. In 2020 we concentrated our business efforts on the renewed and highly competitive Phenom and Praetor product lines, sunsetting the Legacy 450 and 500 models. Our Executive Aviation business unit accounted for 26.9%, 28.4% and 25.6% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

After the success of our primary products Bandeirante and Brasília, we entered the military aviation segment with various products for the Brazilian Armed Forces. The first of this group of products were the EMB-312 Tucano, a basic trainer, and the EMB-111 Banderulha, for maritime patrol, both of which have also been exported. During the 80’s Embraer and Aermacchi jointly developed the AMX, or A-1 attack fighter-bomber aircraft, and on early 2000’s it started the production of the newest developed A-29 Super Tucano, or Super Tucano, a light attack aircraft that entered into service in 2004 and is still under production, with more than 264 units sold to more than 16 countries. Throughout the years, we have developed several other aircraft specialized for our client’s missions, especially the C-390 Millennium, the largest aircraft ever manufactured in Brazil, and entered the market of radars and sensors with the acquisition of Bradar in 2011, fully incorporated into Embraer in 2018.

In addition, we have invested in various companies in the defense and security industry, expanding our portfolio to offer to our customers around the globe a broad line of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, services, systems and solutions, ground radar, transportation of authorities, tactical military transport and aerial refueling, basic and advanced training and light attack and training aircraft, satellite and cyber security solutions. Through our wholly owned subsidiary Atech, we have been producing complex systems for critical missions, in the area of command and control, communications, computer intelligence, cyber defense, air defense and air traffic control for defense, security and other civil applications. With a 51% stake on Visiona Technologia Espacial S.A., we also operate on the satellite production and support services market, in partnership with relevant private and public institutions in Brazil.

In 2018, Embraer entered into the consortium Águas Azuis, with Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, and, in 2019, this consortium was chosen as preferred supplier to build four new Tamandaré Class Frigates. In 2020, we became the majority shareholder of Tempest Security Intelligence, the largest cybersecurity company in Brazil, with local and abroad operations. Finally, in 2021, we incorporated Savis Tecnologia e Sistemas S.A., a company focused on the development and production of various land systems, including the SABER M60 and M200 VIGILANTE radars, mockups, anti-aircraft operation centers, as well as on the integration of the Brazilian Army’s Integrated Border Monitoring System – SISFRON program. In 2021, we and the Brazilian Air Force signed a MoU for cooperation in studies, design and development of a superior class and multi-capacity unmanned aerial vehicle that meets the needs of various types of missions. The development of an unmanned aircraft system with Brazilian technology offers an opportunity for the Brazilian defense industrial base and its strategic companies, promoting its development and strengthening knowledge to meet the needs of the country.

As of the date of this annual report, we continue to be the leading supplier of defense aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force, based on number of aircraft sold, and have sold aircraft to armed forces in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America. Our Defense and Security business unit accounted for 14.2%, 17.3% and 10.5% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenues from sales to the Brazilian government accounted for 40.7%, 44.5% and 54.5% of this business unit’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

23

Embraer Services and Support is a business unit focused on providing parts, flight hour solutions, maintenance, training, and engineering products and services for Embraer operators in the Commercial, Executive, Defense & Security segments. Accompanied with OGMA, Embraer’s subsidiary in Portugal, which provides agnostic services, and Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS). With a network of over 75 owned and authorized service centers spread around the world, contact centers dedicated to each market, and a team with more than 3,500 employees overseeing support of over 4,350 Embraer Commercial, Executive and Defense aircraft as well as other OEM aircraft, engines, radars, our Services and Support business unit accounted for 27.0%, 24.4% and 22.8% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We also provide fuel systems, structural parts, and mechanical and hydraulic systems to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, or Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, for its production of helicopters. We provide to Sikorsky the services of development and manufacture of the landing gear, fuel system and fuel tanks for the S-92 and H-92 Helibus helicopters. We also act as a risk-sharing partner for Sikorsky. In addition, we developed the Ipanema, a crop duster aircraft pursuant to specifications of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture. These aircraft are produced only on demand. Through December 31, 2021, we had delivered a total of 1,486 of these aircraft. Our Other Related business unit accounted for 0.6%, 0.3% and 0.2% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

For additional information on our business units, see Note 38 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

B. Business Overview

We are the leading manufacturer of jets with up to 150 seats in the world, based on the number of jets delivered over the last decade, and we have a franchise footprint represented by our global customer base. Our focus is to achieve customer satisfaction with a range of products and services addressing the commercial airline, executive jets and defense and security markets. We have developed a customer-centric technology-driven portfolio of commercial aviation products and services that allows us to build long-term relationships with our clients in the commercial aviation, executive jets and defense and security markets. We grew from a government-controlled company that developed and produced products for the Brazilian Armed Forces to a publicly held company that produces aircraft for and provides related services to commercial and executive aviation, as well as for defense and security purposes. Providing high quality customer support is a key element of our customer focus and is critical to our ability to maintain customers with whom we have a long-term relationship.

We have weathered challenges posed by developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic through our near-term strategy of maintaining lean organization, updating our business plan to adapt to changing conditions, prioritizing health and safety and implementing cash preservation measures. We are in a position to embark on our long-term strategy of focusing on consistent execution of our strategic business plan and continuous efficiency programs with lean concepts, seeking partnership opportunities to drive growth, investing in innovation as a primary source of future growth and further developing our environmental, social and governance, or ESG program, reinforcing our commitment toward:

(i) carbon reduction: we expect to reach carbon neutrality by 2040, use 100% renewable energy by 2030 and produce products to support net zero emissions aviation by 2050;

(ii) social responsibility: we expect to reach 50% of diversity hiring in our entry level programs and 20% of women in senior leadership positions by 2025. We also aim to help more than 80% of Embraer schools’ students to be admitted to public universities; and

(iii) corporate governance standards: we aim to maintain the highest international governance standards and robust ethics and compliance programs.

Our main market opportunities lie in direct product replacement, the development of regional aviation in select markets, including India, Brazil and Turkey, and in the growth on a global scale of the sub 150 seat segment as a result of airlines rightsizing their fleet.

24

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we generated revenue of US$4,197.2 million, of which approximately 7.8% was U.S. dollar denominated. Of our revenue in 2021, 31.4% was from our Commercial Aviation business unit, 26.9% was from our Executive Aviation business unit, 14.2% was from our Defense and Security business unit, 27.0% was from Services and Support business unit and 0.6% was from our Other Related business unit.

In the year ended December 31, 2021, 51.7% of our net revenue was from clients in North America, followed by clients in Europe (26.6%), Brazil (11.4%), Asia Pacific (5.0%), Latin America (0.9%) and others (4.4%). As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a total firm order backlog of US$17.0 billion and US$14.4 billion, respectively.

Our Strengths

We believe that our primary strengths are:

Aircraft design and technology; cost and operating efficiency. We conceive, develop and manufacture clean sheet design aircraft with cutting edge technology that reduce our customers’ operating, maintenance and training costs because of the efficient design of our parts. Within a jet family the parts share similar technology and features, which reduces our design, development and production costs and allow us to offer competitive prices to our customers. For example, the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 jets have similar characteristics and technologies that enhance our value proposition for the midsize and super-midsize business units. Our investments in innovative technologies, such as automation design, enable us to increase operational efficiency by reducing engineering, production costs and lowering customers’ maintenance costs. For example, we have invested in cybersecurity solutions by recently acquiring Tempest and using Beacon, which is an innovative platform designed to connect the aviation maintenance system. Beacon has more than 1300 users and serves more than 190 airports and over 2,500 approved aircraft.

Leading commercial aircraft manufacturer with a global customer base. Based on the number of aircraft delivered, we are the leading manufacturer of jets with up to 150 seats and have a strong global customer base. As of the date of this annual report, more than 180 airlines from over 90 countries use our commercial aircraft on five continents. Our customers include some of the largest and most significant network, regional and low-cost carriers in the world.

Strategic risk-sharing partners. With respect to our commercial and business aircraft, we developed strategic relationships with key risk-sharing partners. These risk-sharing partners develop and manufacture significant portions of our aircraft’s systems and components with their own funds, thereby reducing our development expenses. These risk-sharing partners also fund a portion of our research and development expenses through direct contributions of cash or materials. These strategic relationships enable us to reduce our development expenses and risks, improve our operating efficiency, enhance the quality of our products and reduce the number of our suppliers, thereby providing us with flexibility in our production process.

Experienced and highly skilled workforce. Our employees are experienced and highly skilled. As of December 31, 2021, engineers comprised approximately one-fifth of our workforce. Our employees’ high skill and knowledge levels and our continuous training and incentive programs allow us to efficiently pursue new programs and offer high technical expertise and guidance to our customers.

Flexibility of production to meet market demands. We believe the flexibility of our production processes and our operating structure, including our risk-sharing partnerships, allow us to adjust our production in response to market demand.

Funded development of defense products. Historically, development expenditures related to defense aircraft have been funded in large part by our Defense and Security business unit customers, which mainly comprise governments. These customers have had an important role in our engineering and industrial development. In addition, we use tested civil platforms as a solution for certain defense products.

25

Highly skilled engineering for defense application and development of market leading products for our Defense and Security business unit. As of December 31, 2021, we had sold more than 1,350 defense aircraft, including government transport aircraft, to more than 60 armed forces and operators worldwide. The Super Tucano and C-390 Millennium are the main products of our Defense and Security business unit. We believe the Super Tucano is the market benchmark for its class because it combines a rugged and reliable turboprop platform with a high precision weapons delivery system. It is the only combat-proven light attack aircraft currently in production. The C-390 Millennium is a multi-role military transport aircraft developed to become a market leader in its category. It has several functions and may be used in adverse situations, such as firefighting and air refueling, on the KC-390 Millennium version. The C-390 Millennium has flexibility, strength, mobility, easy maintenance and new technology. Our workforce is highly capable of understanding our customers’ operational needs and their requirements regarding our defense products and services portfolio. Our team offers flexible and lower lifecycle cost products with global applications to our customers. We also have a strong ability to engage with several stakeholders in partnerships, enabling the development of state-of-the-art defense and space solutions with reduced cycles.

Business Strategies

With a view to continue growth of our business and increasing our profitability, we intend to continue to offer our customers cost-effective, high quality, and reliable aircraft and services. The key elements of our strategy are the following:

Market our commercial aircraft. We are fully committed to marketing our jets of up to 150 seats. As of December 31, 2021, we had more than 350 units in the ERJ family and approximately 1,260 units in the 170/190 jet family and around 41 units in the E2 generation in active service, according to Cirium. As of December 31, 2021, 50 units of E190/E195 E2 had been delivered to customers worldwide. In February 2022, we announced three-year pause in its E175-E2 jet development program. For more information, see “—Products”. We believe there are market opportunities for the 170/190 jet family and for the E2 generation, especially for airlines seeking to expand their fleet in the mid-density segment and substitute aging aircraft in the below-150 seat category. Additionally, commercial jets will have opportunities with mainline and low-cost carriers that are right sizing their fleets to adjust capacity and will provide us with significant opportunities to increase our competitiveness by offering a full range of jets of up to 150 seats to our customers.

Maintain the market leadership of our commercial jets up to 150 seats. Our new generation of commercial aircraft, the E-Jet E2, reinforces our commitment to maintain our market leadership in the segment of commercial jets up to 150 seats. Our commercial aircraft have state-of-the-art engines, aerodynamically advanced wings, full fly-by-wire flight controls and improvements to other systems, which increase efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, maintenance costs, emissions and external noise significantly.

Develop innovative and sustainable solutions. To further nurture the future of regional air mobility while also complying with industry-wide sustainable goals, we have announced the Energia Family of aircraft concepts. These four innovative concepts, destined to the 9 to 50 seats market, we believe it will allow the company to further study, explore, and potentially commercialize the cutting-edge technologies that will define the industry of tomorrow through advanced designs and new propulsion systems, while also fostering discussions related to airport infrastructures, passenger convenience, and seamless journeys opportunities.

Strengthen our position in the executive aviation market. We believe we are well positioned to grow in the small and medium cabin jet classes. We have streamlined our portfolio to feature the Phenom 100EV, an entry-level jet, the Phenom 300E, a light jet, and the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600, midsize and super-midsize jets, respectively. This renewed portfolio is industry-leading in performance, comfort and technology. We are committed to understanding and responding to market and customer needs and continuously improving our product and customer support for our executive jets. For over a decade, we have introduced disruptive clean sheet design aircraft to the market. In 2021, the Phenom 300E was the most delivered light jet for the tenth consecutive year and the most delivered twinjet in whole executive jets industry.

Provide complete and integrated solutions to the customers of our Defense and Security business unit. In our Defense and Security business unit, we offer a broad range of solutions covering air, land, sea, space and cyber security environments. We are constantly evaluating, developing and efficiently integrating new opportunities to meet our clients’ needs.

Continue to pursue market niche opportunities in the defense and space market. We offer solutions for transportation, light attack, training, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and cybersecurity solutions, among others. With our products, we provide enhanced capabilities through a defense-integrated portfolio that meets the needs of a wide range of governments’ military needs. This is only possible due to our culture of continuously pursuing market opportunities with our existing and potential customers with whom we work to develop innovative and personalized solutions throughout time.

Expanding our international sales, while continuing our partnership with the Brazilian Armed Forces in our Defense and Security segment. Historically, the Brazilian Armed Forces have been our key partner on the development and purchase of aircraft and ground systems. During this period, we have achieved a state-of-art engineering, operations capability and supply chain management knowledge, that allows us to not only continue addressing the needs of our Brazilian customers, but also of international customers, providing them with personalized solutions. We are fully committed to expand our international sales, while consolidating our position as a key partner of the Brazilian Armed Forces.

Focus on customer satisfaction through our established and respected services and support. We believe that our focus on customer satisfaction is essential to our entrepreneurial success and our business strategy. Our high-quality customer service and support is key to our customer focus, as it allows us to maintain long-term relationships with our customers and increase the competitiveness of our products. As the number of our aircraft in operation continues to grow and our business expands, we have increased our commitment to provide quality after-sale support to our customers, including technical assistance, training, maintenance, spare parts, product modifications and other related services. We own and manage several service centers, strategically located in various parts of the world. In addition, our customers may rely on authorized third-party maintenance service centers around the world to comply with their maintenance needs.

Motivate our employees and improve our production processes and managerial practices. We constantly seek to exceed our customers’ expectations. To achieve this goal, we commit to efficient production processes and best managerial practices. The success of our products and services is ultimately a combination of the contribution of our employees and the production processes we have developed over the years. We strive to motivate our employees and refine our production processes. We implement and develop corporate programs, including our Embraer Enterprise Excellence Program, or P3E, based on lean manufacturing philosophy, which consists of reducing production and response times from suppliers to customers.

Commercial Aviation Business Unit

We design, develop and manufacture a variety of commercial aircraft. Our Commercial Aviation business unit accounted for 31.4%, 29.6% and 40.9% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On December 31, 2021, our firm orders in backlog for our commercial aviation aircraft totaled US$9.0 billion as compared to US$7.6 billion on December 31, 2020.

Products

ERJ Jet Family

We developed the ERJ family, our 37-50-passenger twin jet-powered regional jet, introduced in 1996, to address the growing demand among regional airlines for medium-range, jet-powered aircraft. Until the launch of the EMBRAER 170/190 Jet Family, the ERJ was our most important product, achieving great results and being responsible for consolidating our presence in the United States regional market. As of December 31, 2021, over 360 ERJ aircraft remained in service around the world.

EMBRAER 170/190 Jet Family

The EMBRAER 170/190 jet family provides our customers four aircraft models in the regional passenger jet range. The EMBRAER 170 is a 66-78 seat jet and the EMBRAER 175 is a 76-88 seat jet, while the EMBRAER 190 is a 98-114 seat jet and the EMBRAER 195 is a 100-124 seat jet. The EMBRAER 170 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority, the FAA, the Joint Aviation Authority of Europe (the former advisory organization that made certification recommendations to non-European Union national authorities), or the JAA, and the EASA in February 2004, and deliveries of the EMBRAER 170 began in March 2004. The EMBRAER 175 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority in December 2004, by the EASA in January 2005 and by the FAA in August 2006. The EMBRAER 190 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority in August 2005, by the FAA in September 2005 and by the EASA in June 2006. The EMBRAER 195 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority in June 2006, by the EASA in July 2006 and by the FAA in June 2007.

We designed the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family to maximize the benefits of commonality. Aircraft in the family share approximately 86% of the same components. The high level of commonality in this jet family lowered our development expenses and shortened our development period. We believe that this commonality leads to significant savings to our customers in the form of easier training, less expensive parts and maintenance and lower operational costs. Due to differences in size and weight, the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family does not share the same wing design. This new regional jet family has engines fixed under its main wings—a design intended to enhance power, improve fuel economy and minimize turnaround times. All of the aircraft models of this family are powered by engines manufactured by General Electric Aircraft Engines and contain state-of-the-art avionics manufactured by Honeywell International Inc. (Aerospace).

The EMBRAER 170/190 jet family’s principal features are:

• Performance. All four jets in the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family have a maximum cruising speed of Mach .82. The EMBRAER 170 and the EMBRAER 175 with all passengers on board have maximum ranges of 1,800 and 1,750 nautical miles, respectively, and each is available in the advanced-range version, with maximum ranges of 2,150 and 2,250 nautical miles, respectively. The EMBRAER 190 and EMBRAER 195 with all passengers on board have maximum ranges of 1,850 and 1,600 nautical miles, respectively, and each is available in the advanced-range version with maximum ranges of 2,450 and 2,300 nautical miles, respectively.

28

• Ground servicing. The underwing engine design and the existence of four doors, two in the front and two in the back, provide for enhanced accessibility and efficiency of ground services.

• Cabin and cargo space. We have enhanced passenger safety and comfort in the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family. The aircraft’s “double-bubble” design enables a four-abreast cabin, a wide aisle, greater interior space and headroom, and a larger baggage compartment than the regional jets of our competitors, including those regional jets that are in the development stage.

As of December 31, 2021, the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family has 150 orders in backlog and more than 1,600 aircraft have already been delivered to customers worldwide

E-Jets E2Family

In June 2013, we launched the second generation of our E-Jets family of commercial aircraft, named the E-Jets E2, comprising three new aircraft, the E175-E2, E190-E2, and E195-E2. The E190-E2 and E195-E2 entered service in April of 2018 and September of 2019, respectively.

The launch of the E2 advances our vision of offering leading-edge commercial aircraft with a capacity for 70 to 150 seats, seamless mainline comfort, and performance for flexible and efficient utilization by regional, low-cost and network carriers. Our strategy is to offer all the benefits of a new design, but with the reliability of an updated platform and commonality with current generation E-Jets. We have continually invested in the E-Jets program, so that our customers can stay competitive with aircraft that have the lowest operating costs and the highest passenger appeal.

In a typical single-class layout, the E175-E2 was extended by one seat row, compared to the current generation E175, and will seat up to 90 passengers, while the E190-E2 is the same size as the E190, with up to 114 seats. The E195-E2, compared to the current E195, has grown by three seat rows and will accommodate up to 132 seats in a typical single class configuration or up to 144 seats in a high-density configuration.

In June 2015, two years after the launch of the program, we began to assemble the first of the E-Jets E2 family, an E190-E2, at our factory in São José dos Campos.

In November 2015, the Pratt &Whitney PW1900G PurePower® Geared Turbofan™ (GTF) engine for the Embraer E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft successfully completed its first flight initiating the engine’s flight test program.

In February 2016, in a ceremony held at our plant in São José dos Campos, we presented the E190-E2, which made its first flight in May 2016. In March 2017, in a ceremony held at our plant in São José dos Campos, we presented the second model of the E2 generation. In March 2017, we announced that Azul, the largest operator of the current generation E195s in the world, would be the launch operator of the E195-E2.

On February 28, 2018, we received a Type Certificate from the National Civil Aviation Agency, the FAA and EASA for the E190-E2, the first member of the E-Jets E2 family of commercial aircraft. It was the first time that an aircraft program with the level of complexity of the E2 received a type certificate from three major worldwide certification authorities simultaneously.

On April 4, 2018, in a ceremony held in São José dos Campos, we celebrated the delivery of the first aircraft E190-E2 aircraft to Widerøe, the largest regional airline of Scandinavia. The aircraft entered into service in the same month and performed a sold-out flight between Bergen and Tromsø in Norway.

In April 2019, the E195-E2 received simultaneous approval and was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority, the FAA and EASA.

On September 12, 2019, in a ceremony held at our plant in São José dos Campos, we delivered the first E195-E2, the largest of the three members of the E-Jets E2 family of commercial aircraft. The recipients were

29

AerCap, the world’s largest aircraft leasing company, and Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras S.A., or Azul, which is the global launch operator for the E195-E2. On December 12, 2019, the Embraer E175-E2 made its inaugural flight from our facility in São José dos Campos. We believe in the E175-E2 market potential, being the most efficient and comfortable commercial aircraft in the market for the 76-seat category, whether to substitute the E175-E1 or to enhance the regional air mobility through new markets. Nevertheless, we intend to keep offering the E175-E1 with all the improvements made to the platform throughout the years of operation and feedback of our customers. If further developments are made into the scope clause, the E175-E2 will be the right and quickly ready product for the future, due to its optimized fuel consumption, maintenance cost, level of emissions and noise metrics.

As of December 31, 2021, the E-Jets E2 have 175 orders in backlog and 50 aircraft have already been delivered to customers worldwide. Operators include airlines in various regions, such as Azul Linhas Aéreas (Latin America), Widerøe (Europe), Helvetic (Europe), KLM (Europe), Binter (Europe), Air Kiribati (Asia Pacific), Bevalia (CIS), Air Peace (Africa) and Congo Airways (Africa).

On February 18, 2022, we announced a three-year pause on the development of the E175-E2 jet which is expected to entry into service between 2027 and 2028. Although US mainlines’ scope clauses are not expected to change in the next three years, we will keep monitoring discussions with the pilot unions regarding the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) limitation for aircraft with up to 76 seats, together with current global market conditions for commercial aviation and the continuing interest in the current E175 jet in the US market. Until then, the current generation E175 jet will continue to be the best solution available to this market segment.

On March 7, 2022, we announced the launch of the E190F and E195F Passenger to Freight Conversions (P2F), designed to meet the changing demands of e-commerce and modern trade that require fast deliveries and decentralized operations. The full freighter conversion is available for all pre-owned E190 and E195 aircraft, with entry into service expected in early 2024.

Customers

We have a diverse, global customer base, and our major operators for commercial aircraft include some of the largest regional, low-cost and mainline airlines in the world. As of December 31, 2021, our largest E-Jet customers by number of aircraft in service were SkyWest, Republic, Envoy Air, Mesa, JetBlue, KLM Cityhopper, Azul, Aeromexico, J-Air, S7 Airlines and Horizon Air. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, 85% of our firm orders in backlog for the current EMBRAER 170/190 jet family are from the airlines Republic Airlines and Skywest. Moreover, our E-Jets E2 family backlog mainly comprises orders from the companies Azul, AerCap, AirCastle, AirPeace, Porter, and Azorra which represent approximately 95% of our E-Jets E2 family orders.

We generally sell our commercial aircraft pursuant to contracts with our customers on a fixed-price basis, adjusted by an escalation formula. Our contracts generally include an option for our customers to purchase additional aircraft at a fixed-price option, subject to the same escalation formula. In addition, our contracts include a product support package to cover the entry into service of our aircraft, as well as a general warranty for such aircraft. Other provisions for specific aircraft performance and design requirements are negotiated with our customers. In addition, some of our contracts contain cancellation provisions and trade-in options and financial and residual value guarantees. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—Some of our aircraft sales may be subject to financial and residual value guarantees and trade-in options that may require us to make significant cash disbursements” for a more detailed discussion of these provisions.

Sales and Marketing

Our current marketing strategy is based upon our assessments of the worldwide commercial airline market and of the needs of our customers. We actively market our aircraft to international airlines and regional affiliates of major global airlines through our regional offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Our success depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to discern our customers’ needs, including needs

30

for customer service and product support, and to fill those needs in a timely and efficient manner while maintaining the high quality of our products. Our market and airline analysts focus on the long-term trends of the market, competitive analysis, product-enhancement planning, and airline analysis. In terms of direct marketing to our customers, we rely on relationship development, social media, and professional network. In 2021, as a way to keep our customers informed and enhance awareness and brand recognition, we were able to participate in person at air shows and events, while keeping webinars and other online forums for events which still had restrictions due to the pandemic. Besides São José dos Campos in Brazil, we have regional sales offices in Amsterdam, Holland; Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States; Beijing, China; and Singapore.

Production, New Orders and Options

Prior to starting production or development of a new project, we secure letters of intent for future orders of a significant number of aircraft. We typically begin taking orders and building a backlog two years before we begin producing a new aircraft model, aiming to receive a significant number of orders before we deliver the initial aircraft. Once an order is taken, we reserve a place for that order on the production line, ensuring that we will maintain production sufficient to meet demand. Once a place is reserved on the production line, we are able to give customers delivery dates for their orders.

We include an order in backlog once we have received a firm commitment, represented by a signed contract. Our backlog does not include options and letters of intent for which definitive contracts have not been entered into.

Our options generally provide our customers the right to purchase an aircraft at a fixed price and on a specified delivery date, subject to escalation provisions, under a purchase agreement. Once a customer decides to exercise an option, we account for it as a firm order. Occasionally, we have extended the exercise date for our options and renegotiated the delivery schedule of firm orders, as well as allowed customers to convert their firm orders or options for one aircraft into firm orders or options for another aircraft within the same commercial aircraft family.

Competition

We generally face competition from major manufacturers in the international aircraft market. Each category of our products faces competition of a different nature and generally from different companies. Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, and other resources than we do.

We currently face the strongest competition from the following aircraft:

• A220, former CSeries, 110 to 150-seat jets acquired by Airbus from Bombardier, which entered into service in 2016;

• ARJ21, a 90-seat regional jet produced by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or COMAC;

• SSJ100, a 103-seat regional jet produced by JSC Sukhoi Company;

• SpaceJet (former MRJ), a 76 to 88-seat jet under development by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, which had its development suspended;

• CRJ-700, CRJ-900 and CRJ-1000, 70-seat, 86-seat and 98-seat regional jets, respectively, formerly produced by Bombardier, acquired by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI);

• Dash 8-400 (former Q-400) a 72-seat turboprop program from Bombardier acquired by Havilland Canada which belongs to Viking Air;

• ATR-72, a 68-seat turboprop produced by ATR Aircraft.

31

We are the leading manufacturer in the market for jets up to 150 seats in the world, with 29% market share in terms of accumulated deliveries, since 2004.

The key competitive factors in the markets in which we participate include design and technological strength, aircraft operational costs, aircraft price, including financing costs, customer service and manufacturing efficiency. We believe that we will be able to compete favorably based on our aircraft performance, efficiency, low operating costs, product development experience, global customer base, market acceptance, cabin design and aircraft price. In addition, while the competitive landscape has become increasingly aggressive, deals such as the Airbus acquisition of a majority stake in Bombardier’s C-Series Program, rebranded as A220, are evidence of the opportunities in the 100-150 seats market. With the Airbus sales team marketing the A220 Program, we believe customers who would not have previously considered aircraft of this size may seek our E190/E195-E2 as a comparable alternative.

Executive Aviation Business Unit

We refer to our executive aviation business unit as our “Executive Aviation business.” Our current portfolio of executive jets comprises the entry-level Phenom 100 EV, the light Phenom 300E the midsize Praetor 500 and the super-midsize Praetor 600.

We market our executive jets to companies, including fractional ownership companies, charter and air-taxi companies, high-net-worth individuals and flight academies, including independent, commercial airline and military flight academies. Our Executive Aviation business unit accounted for 26.9%, 28.4% and 25.6% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On December 31, 2021, our firm orders in backlog for our executive jets totaled US$2.9 billion as compared to US$1.2 billion on December 31, 2020.

In May 2005, we launched the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300, which are executive jets in the entry-level and light jet categories, respectively. The Phenom 100 jet, which carries six to eight people, received the Brazilian Aviation Authority and FAA certification in December 2008, the same month of its entry into service. The Phenom 300 carries up to ten people and has a larger fuselage and wingspan and longer range than the Phenom 100. It received the Brazilian Aviation Authority and FAA certification and entered service one year after the Phenom 100. By the end of 2020, the Phenom 100 fleet comprised more than 370 aircraft distributed in over 28 countries and the Phenom 300 fleet comprised over 580 jets distributed in more than 30 countries. Focused on constant improvement, we launched the Phenom 100EV and the Phenom 300E in 2016 and 2017, respectively. In 2020, we introduced the new Phenom 300E, featuring enhancements in performance, comfort and on-board technology. The new Phenom 300E is currently the only in-production single-pilot jet to reach Mach 0.80, offering a quieter cabin and upgrades to its avionics suite. These features include predictive windshear and a runway overrun awareness and alerting system, which are our exclusive intellectual property and the first technology of its kind to be developed and certified in business aviation. The model was already granted its certification by the Brazilian Aviation Authority, EASA and the FAA.

In August 2020, we announced the Phenom 300MED, a unique medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) transportation solution suitable to Phenom 300 model series, which is also available for retrofit, through a partnership with the companies umlaut and Aerolite AG (Aerolite). Embraer and umlaut are jointly developing and certifying a new supplemental type certificate (STC) utilizing Aerolite equipment. Designed as an ideal solution for both civil and government applications, the MEDEVAC solution will be installed exclusively by Embraer’s award-winning Services and Support organization, ensuring the highest quality, reliability, and service experience, direct from the manufacturer.

In November 2020, Embraer and Porsche announced that they have collaborated to create a limited-edition, limited-quantity Embraer Phenom 300E aircraft and Porsche 911 Turbo S-car pairing called Duet. Embraer and Porsche will produce just ten pairs of business jets and sports cars, providing a truly seamless experience from road to sky, for the first time in history. Duet fuses speed and style, luxury and power, which are features of both the Phenom 300E and Porsche 911 Turbo S, resulting in a uniquely designed jet and car, both featuring a customized interior with similar design and paint scheme details inspired one by another.

32

In May 2006, we launched the Lineage 1000, an ultra-large executive jet based on the EMBRAER 190 commercial jet platform. The Lineage 1000 is configured to accommodate up to 19 passengers in a total cabin area of 750 square feet (70 square meters). The Lineage 1000 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority in December 2008 and by the FAA in January 2009 and entered service in the first half of 2009. By the end of 2018, the Lineage 1000 fleet comprised more than 25 units distributed in more than10 countries. Continued investments in the Lineage 1000 resulted in the introduction of the Lineage 1000E, in 2013, enhancing the customer experience by extending its range capability and offering new interior amenities. In 2019, we successfully implemented the sunset strategy of the Lineage 1000E.

In April 2008, we formally launched two new programs in the medium cabin category, the medium cabin Legacy 450 jet, with a 2,575 nautical mile range and a capacity for up to nine passengers, and the medium cabin Legacy 500 jet, with a 3,125 nautical mile range and a capacity for up to 12 passengers. The Legacy 450/500 medium cabin jets were positioned in our executive jets’ portfolio between the Phenom 300E and the Legacy 650. The Legacy 500 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority and the FAA in 2014, the same year that it entered service. The Legacy 450 was certified by the Brazilian Aviation Authority and the FAA in August 2015 and by the EASA in September 2015. In November of the same year, we announced an increase of the Legacy 450’s range in 2,900 nautical miles, and it entered service in December. In November 2017, we introduced the best-in-class 5,800-foot cabin altitude for the Legacy 450/500 jets, which further enhanced customer experience. These two aircraft programs have helped strengthen our position in the market and establish our portfolio as one of the broadest in the executive aviation industry. Both the Legacy 450 and 500 had their final deliveries to customers in 2020.

In October 2009, we introduced the Legacy 650 jet, a large jet based on the Legacy 600 platform, with a longer range for up to 14 passengers. The Legacy 650 received the Brazilian Aviation Authority and FAA certification in October 2010 and February 2011, respectively, and entered service in November 2010. The latest evolution of the aircraft that started our Executive Aviation business unit is the Legacy 650E, which introduces auto-throttle and interior enhancements, in addition to a ten-year warranty, which set a new industry standard for performance and reliability. In 2019, we successfully implemented the Legacy 650 series sunset strategy.

In October 2018, we launched the new Praetor 500 and Praetor 600, the most disruptive and technologically advanced midsize and super-midsize jets, respectively, introducing unprecedented range into their categories. The Praetor 600 is expected to be the farthest-flying super-midsize business jet, which allows nonstop flights between London and New York. The Praetor 500 will be the fastest midsize aircraft, capable of reaching Europe from the west coast of the US with a single stop. The Praetor 600 was certified and entered service in June of 2019 and in December of 2019, respectively. The Praetor 500 is the successor of the Legacy 450 in the midsize class as the Praetor 600 is for the Legacy 500 in the super midsize class. In 2020, we announced a series of breakthrough cabin enhancements for the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600. In addition to the lowest cabin internal atmospheric pressure in the class (equivalent to an altitude of 5,800 feet) and 100% fresh air capability, Embraer is now offering the HEPA filter as a standard feature on all Praetor aircraft and announced the certification of a new electric lavatory pocket door. In 2020, we announced the completion of the first European conversion of a Legacy 450 to a Praetor 500. The conversion was performed at the Embraer Executive Aviation Service Center at Le Bourget International Airport, in Paris, France.

In December 2021, our executive jets fleet was composed by approximately 1,500 jets in approximately 60 countries and operated by more than 950 customers.

We are also the leading supplier of defense aircraft to the Brazilian Air Force based on the total number of aircraft in its fleet. Our Defense and Security business unit accounted for 14.2%, 17.3% and 10.5% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively. As of December 31, 2021, our firm orders in backlog for our Defense and Security business unit were US$ 2.7 billion, reflecting the effect of our negotiation process with the Brazilian Air Force in order to reduce from 28 to 22 in the total number of KC390 Millennium aircraft to be delivered until 2034 under the terms of the agreements entered into with the Brazilian Air Force.

Products

Military Transport – C-390 Millennium

Our multi-mission aircraft C-390 Millennium maintained its features for civilian use (as certified by ANAC) and military use (as certified by the Department of Aeronautical Science and Technology – DCTA, and the Industrial Development and Coordination Institute – IFI) after its rebranding in 2019.

The C-390 Millennium is a multi-role military transport aircraft developed to set higher standards in its class. The C-390 Millennium is efficient for cargo and troop transport, aerial resupply and humanitarian missions, among other uses, as well as for uses in adverse situations, evacuations, firefighting and air refueling (on the KC-390 Millennium version). Designed with modern engineering solutions, this new aircraft is an innovation in military transport aviation. The C-390 Millennium features flexibility, strength, mobility, easy maintenance and new technology.

In 2019, Embraer delivered the first two KC-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft (the “K” denotes that these C-390 aircraft will also have aerial refueling capabilities) to the Brazilian Air Force. In addition, the Portuguese government signed the first export contract of KC-390 Millennium aircraft, including the acquisition of five aircraft and one flight simulator, together with a 12-year contract of services to support the fleet. The first delivery is planned for 2023, and the aircraft will be used for military transport.

In 2020, Embraer delivered the third and fourth KC-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft to Brazilian Air Force. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazilian Air Force has operated the KC-390 in logistics transport operations, carrying essential supplies to combat the pandemic in Brazil. In addition, in November 2020, we entered into an export contract with the Hungarian government for the acquisition of two aircraft in its KC-390 Millennium version, with the capacity to carry out in-flight refueling missions.

34

During 2021, the Brazilian Area Force had four KC-390 Millennium multimission transport aircraft operating in logistics transport operations. The development of the version of the KC-390 Millennium, destined for Portugal, advanced as expected, and the version of the KC-390 Millennium intended for Hungary also showed significant progress in its development.

On November 12, 2021, the Brazilian Air Force publicly announced its decision to unilaterally reduce the total value of the KC-390 Millennium aircraft agreement in 25%, as permitted by the applicable law. On February 9, 2022, we reached an agreement in relation to KC-390 Millennium aircraft order, pursuant to which the total number of aircraft to be acquired by the Brazilian Air Force was reduced from 28 to 22, with deliveries scheduled until 2034. This reduction generated, in 2021, a reduction in our backlog of US$525.6 million and an impact of US$40.9 million on our net revenue, with no immediate effect on our cash account. For further information, see note 1.1.1 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Light Attack and Training – Super Tucano

The Super Tucano is an aircraft equipped for counter-insurgency scenarios, containing integrated sensors, datalink, cockpit protection and multiple weapons configurations. We believe that Super Tucano is the market benchmark in its class, as it combines a rugged and reliable turboprop platform with a delivery system of high-precision weapons. It is the only combat-proven light attack aircraft currently under production. The Super Tucano is also a full-fledged advanced trainer due to its handling features, low operational cost and state-of-the-art avionics systems. Since its entry into service, in 2004, a total of 264 units have been sold to 16 different countries by year-end 2021.

We have been acting as a subcontractor for the United States Government (“USG”) and have delivered to Sierra Nevada Corporation (“SNC”), USG prime contractor, 47 Super Tucano aircraft to different countries. In 2021, we delivered nine aircraft to SNC, three of them for the AFSOC (Air Force Special Operations Command) Program of the United States Air Force, and six through the Foreign Military Sales program to the Nigeria Air Force Program. In addition, through our Gavião Peixoto unit, we delivered other five aircraft to an undisclosed customer together with advanced training systems, mission planning and debriefing stations, optional equipment and logistics package.

Fighter –F-39 Gripen Program

In July 2014, we entered into an agreement with Saab AB (Saab) to collaborate in a joint management program for the F-X2 Project, currently called F-39 Gripen Program, pursuant to the selection of the Gripen NG as Brazil’s next generation fighter jet. Under this agreement, we have performed a material role in the overall program, as well as undertook an extensive share of work in systems development, integration, flight testing, final assembly and aircraft deliveries of both the single and the two-seat version of the state-of-the-art Gripen NG aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force.

In 2020, we received the first Brazilian Gripen E at our unit in Gavião Peixoto, marking the beginning of the test program in Brazil at the Gripen Flight Test Center (GFTC) operations center at this same unit, fully integrated with Saab in Sweden.

In 2021, we executed several development milestones of the F-39 Gripen Program, including the first supersonic flight and the “Water Spray” test, which has the purpose of assessing any possible damages to engines resulting from landings in wet soil.

Special Transport Aircraft

We have one ongoing program under an agreement to develop special transport aircraft, entered into with Aerodata AG for the sale of a Praetor 600 jet to be converted into an aircraft to fulfill a variety of different in-flight inspection missions.

Modernization Programs

We offer military aircraft modernization services and currently have three ongoing programs under contract, of which two are with the Brazilian Air Force and one with the Brazilian Navy.

The A-1M modernization program focuses on modernizing the AM-X aircraft, which is an aircraft developed and sold by Embraer to the Brazilian Air Force approximately 20 years ago and became technologically outdated overtime. From 2013 through 2021, we delivered 11 modernized aircraft and the development of this program was completed with the Verification Plan by the Brazilian Air Force in 2021.

The other program entered into between us and the Brazilian Air Force relates to the modernization of five E-99M Early Warning and Control aircraft. This related agreement also provides for six mission planning and analysis stations, which will be employed for training and crew improvement. In 2020, the first two units were delivered to the Brazilian Air Force and, in 2021, an additional aircraft was delivered to the Brazilian Air Force.

The modernization program with the Brazilian Navy is the upgrade of A-4 Skyhawk fighter jets (AF-1 Brazilian Navy Designation) , with the purpose of incorporating new technology, including new avionics, radar, power generation and independent oxygen generating systems. By 2021, five out of seven modernized AF-1 (AF-1B) fighter jets were delivered to the Brazilian Navy.

Radars Programs

We also develop and produce various ground systems, including the SABER M60 and M200 VIGILANTE radars.

In 2020, Embraer signed a contract with the Brazilian Army for the acquisition of two radars SABER M60 radars. The deliveries are expected by second quarter of 2022. In 2021, with the incorporation of SAVIS, we continued to implement the current Brazilian Army’s Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON) program.

The SABER Radar M200 VIGILANTE was also presented to the market as a result of the joint development of radars for the Brazilian Army, developed to serve its anti-aircraft defense units, also aiming to increase our product portfolio and export integrated defense systems.

Principal Defense and Security Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures

Savis Tecnologia e Sistemas S.A.

In 2021, we incorporated Savis Tecnologia e Sistemas S.A., or Savis, an engineering company dedicated to system integration, and specializes in the development, integration, project management, implementation and life cycle support of border protection projects and of strategic defense structures. SAVIS was the leading company of the Tepro Consortium, responsible for implementing the pilot phase of the Brazilian Army’s Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON) program.

The incorporation decision aimed to increase operational efficiencies and strengthen our product portfolio in the ground systems segment. Therefore, we continued the implementation of the current SISFRON program, surpassing 90% of execution in 2021 and delivering important additional capabilities to the Brazilian Army. The procedures for contracting the continuity of the program implementation with phase 2 are advanced, and we expect this contract to be signed still in 2022.

36

Within our radar portfolio, the presentation of the SABER M200 VIGILANTE radar to the market in December 2021,stands out. As a result of the joint development of radars for the Brazilian Army, the radar was developed to serve the country’s anti-aircraft defense units, also aiming to increase our product portfolio and export integrated defense systems.

In 2020, we became the majority shareholder of Tempest, which in 2021 broke revenue records, registering a 40% growth compared to 2020. This growth was backed by a solid backlog of cybersecurity products and services, expanding its base to more than 300 customers throughout the year. Important factors that contributed to this growth were the launch of the Intelligence Driven Security Operations Center, and the record of transactions recorded by AllowMe, a Tempest business unit specialized in identity protection, of 223 million transactions in 2021, an increase of 242% compared to the previous year.

Competition

Our military aircraft faces competition from various manufacturers in different countries in each market segment. The Super Tucano competes in the light attack market with the Textron AT-6 (United States), L3 AT-802L Longsword (United States), Textron Scorpion (United States), Leonardo M-345 (Italy), Aero Vodochody L-159 (Czech Republic), among others. In the flight training market, it competes with the Pilatus PC-21 (Switzerland), Textron T-6A/B (United States), Aero Vodochody L-39NG (Czech Republic), among others.

37

In the military transportation segment, the C-390 Millennium operates in the medium airlift segment in the class of 20 tons. Accordingly, its main competitor is the Lockheed Martin C-130J (United States). Due to the multi-mission design of the C-390 Millennium, including medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, air-to-air refueling, transport of troops and aerial resupply, we expect specific competition with the Airbus A400M and Kawasaki C-2 with respect to air-to-air refueling missions, Airbus C-295 with respect to search and rescue missions, Leonardo C-27J with respect to passenger aircraft convertible into troop transportation aircraft, Ilyushin IL-76 with respect to firefighting aircraft, as well as C-130J, which is our biggest competitor in all of these categories.

In the VIP transportation segment, which comprises the aircraft that will be used by government officials and authorities, our business jets face competition from the main manufacturers of business jets, such as Bombardier (Canada), Gulfstream (United States), Textron (United States) and Dassault (France).

In 2020, OGMA entered into 12 new contracts to provide MRO services to defense and security and commercial aviation segments, and repair of maintenance components, such as those related to hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, electrical and avionics systems. Still in 2020, OGMA became a new authorized maintenance center for Pratt & Whitney engines, as a result of a project developed by OGMA, with the support of Embraer, over the prior 12 months, allowing the expansion of its scope of services in the area of engine maintenance, and marking the entry of Pratt & Whitney maintenance, repair and overhaul in Portugal

In 2021, OGMA had major achievements such as: Pratt & Whitney signed agreement for PW GTF Engines, the Rolls-Royce AE 2100 Program: Delivery of the 1st Nacelle within the contracted TAT, and an agreement for OGMA Aeronautical Academy. Also, featured in Aerospace & Defense Review, OGMA has been ranked as “Top 10 MRO Service Companies in Europe 2021.” In Q3, the Company has delivered various products to different customers, such as P-3 to the Portuguese Air Force, C-130 to the Brazilian Air Force, and deliveries of EMB-145.

Other Related Business Unit

We provide fuel systems, structural parts, and mechanical and hydraulic systems to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for its production of helicopters. We also manufacture general aviation propeller aircraft, also known as light aircraft, such as crop dusters.

43

We provide Sikorsky Corporation with the development and manufacture of landing gear, fuel systems and fuel tanks for the S-92 and H-92 Helibus helicopters. We also act as a risk-sharing partner for Sikorsky. We also have Ipanema in our Other Related business unit pipeline, which is a crop duster aircraft developed pursuant to the specifications of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture. These aircraft are produced only on demand. As of December 31, 2021, we have delivered a total of 1,486 of these aircraft, including 42 in 2021.

Our Other Related business unit accounted for 0.6%, 0.3% and 0.2% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Aircraft Operating Lease Activities

In order to provide better financial support to our commercial activities, as well as to manage and reduce financial risks related to the marketing of aircraft, we created ECC Leasing in September 2002. ECC Leasing has been able to remarket aircraft in its portfolio with conditions and at values similar to market conditions and without any guarantee from Embraer. All sale and leasing transactions were entered into based on market rates, helping to sustain the present and future value of our products.

In January 2017, ECC Leasing merged with Embraer Netherlands, with its assets and activities incorporated under Embraer Netherlands. The mission of Embraer Netherlands, as our company responsible for aircraft operating lease activities, is to manage and remarket Embraer’s aircraft portfolio, which as a result of contractual obligations, may be acquired by us via trade-in transactions. We also provide remarketing services to third parties looking to sell their Embraer manufactured aircraft.

In 2021, despite the COVID-19 pandemic scenario, which had an adverse impact on the aviation industry, Embraer Netherlands successfully sold and delivered three aircraft, for a total amount of US$8.6 million as compared to two aircraft sold in 2020, for a total amount of US$6.5 million, and 13 aircraft sold in 2018, for a total amount of US$34.4 million. Since ECC was established in 2002 through December 31, 2021, this business unit handled 266 aircraft, of which one are available or under sale negotiations.

We believe the results of Embraer Netherlands will be largely dependent on market conditions, aircraft availability levels and the demand for jets mainly in the 70 to 150-seat category.

Suppliers and Components; Risk-Sharing Arrangements

We do not manufacture all of the parts and components used in the production of our aircraft. As of December 31, 2021, 75% of our consolidated production costs in our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Defense and Security business units consisted of materials and equipment purchased from our risk-sharing partners and other major suppliers. Risk-sharing arrangements with suppliers of key components enable us to focus on our core business: design, development, manufacture and sale of aircraft and systems for the Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, and Defense and Security business units. Risk-sharing arrangements are those in which suppliers are responsible for the design, development and manufacture of major components or systems of our aircraft. Our risk-sharing partners, therefore, must invest their own money in development and share the risk and success of our products with us.

In our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Defense and Security business units, we rely on risk-sharing partners to supply vital components of our aircraft. We select suppliers on the basis of, among other factors, technical performance and quality of their products, production capacity, prior relationship and financial competitiveness. We have had continuing relationships with most of our major suppliers since production of the Bandeirante aircraft began in 1975.

In addition, we have entered into purchase agreements with our major suppliers, which cover our production. These contracts contain pricing formulas that take into consideration the various factors that affect the business of our suppliers and help us mitigate the effects of price volatility (which in some cases can be significant) of the materials, parts and components that are required for our operating activities. We are not obligated to purchase a minimum amount of materials annually under any of these supply contracts. Our ongoing supplier relationships depend on cooperation, performance and the maintenance of competitive pricing.

We have suspended parts, maintenance, and technical support services for certain customers to comply with the sanctions imposed on Russia, Belarus, and certain regions of Ukraine by laws of jurisdictions to which we are subject. Although there is no immediate concern over the availability of titanium in our supply chain, considering our strong current inventory position and the existing alternative sources in other countries, we will continue to monitor our supply chain in order to identify any potential constraints. For additional information on our relationship with our suppliers, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—We work with a limited number of key suppliers.”

Commercial Aviation

EMBRAER 170/190 Jet Family and E-Jets E2 Jet Family

We are continuously improving the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family, together with risk-sharing partners that supply key systems for the aircraft. Our supplier arrangements for the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family differ from the supplier arrangements of the ERJ 145 regional jet family, in which we use fewer suppliers. In the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family, each risk-sharing partner is responsible for the development and production of aircraft systems, including the landing gear, the hydraulic system and the flight control system, rather than individual components, and fewer components are supplied by companies that are not risk-sharing partners. The assumption of responsibility for systems by our risk-sharing partners lowers our capital expenditures, which decreases our development risks and increases our operating efficiency by reducing the number of suppliers per product and cutting production costs. It also shortens development and production time.

In addition, some of the risk-sharing partners for the EMBRAER 170/190 jet family have assumed a broader role in other aspects of the program by providing sales financing and residual guarantees, rather than simply supplying us with aircraft components.

When the E-Jets were launched, they were one of the most advanced aircraft in operation. The fly-by-wire system, the integrated avionics and the double-bubble cross-section brought a new level of technology and passenger comfort for the segment. The family’s success led to 29% market share of the deliveries in the up to 150 seats jet segment from 2004 to 2021. Notwithstanding, during the last ten years we have been continually improving the family. New performance packages, maintenance improvements, external noise reduction and fuel burn reduction are examples of improvements developed.

The E-Jets E2 project is an important example of our commitment to keep our market leadership in the segment. The state-of-the-art technology applied to the engines, wings, and avionics make the E2 family a highly efficient tool for airlines. The E2 represents a new level of aerodynamic efficiency, as applied to the wing with one of the highest aspect ratios of the industry and advanced wing shape. The E2 also has improved systems and avionics, including fourth generation full fly-by-wire flight controls, and Pratt & Whitney’s PurePowerTM Geared Turbofan high by-pass ratio engines (PW1700G on the E175-E2, PW1900G on the E190-E2 and E195-E2). All of these improvements will result in double-digit reductions of fuel burn, emissions, noise and maintenance costs. Cockpit commonality with the current generation of E-Jets is a key driver in the design of the E-Jets E2, in order to enable a smooth transition for the E-Jets pilots. Honeywell’s Primus Epic™ 2 advanced integrated avionics system with large landscape displays and advanced graphics capabilities, and Honeywell’s Next Generation Flight Management System (NGFMS), already in development with current-generation E-Jets, will provide exceptional pilot situational awareness and flexibility for continuous innovation on the flight deck. E-Jets E2 has the additional objective of increasing revenue opportunities, as the family is designed to provide better aircraft availability and to increase ancillary revenue for operators.

Known for its comfortable and roomy cabins, with no middle seats, the E-Jets passenger experience is further enhanced in the E2 generation. The U.K. design firm Priestmangoode was contracted to develop the aircraft cabin jointly with Embraer. The interiors will establish a new benchmark in cabin design, improve the passenger experience, and deliver a more comfortable and improved environment tailored to passengers’ needs, while maximizing airlines’ operational efficiency.

Other suppliers and partners for the E-Jets E2 include: Liebherr (control systems for flaps and slats), Moog (fly-by-wire), Rockwell Collins (horizontal stabilizer control system), UTC Aerospace Systems (wheels, brakes, APU, electrical system), Intertechnique (engine and APU fuel feed, pressure refueling, fuel transfer, fuel tank inerting and ventilation, and fuel gauging and control), Crane Aerospace & Electronics (electronic control module for landing gear, brake control systems and proximity sensors), Triumph (fuselage segments, rudder and elevators) and Aernnova Aerospace (vertical and horizontal stabilizers).

Meggitt Polymers & Composites will design and produce a redone high-performance assembly for in-flight connectivity, while we selected KID-Systeme to provide the SKYfi Club, a wireless streaming onboard platform.

On November 11, 2021, our board of directors approved the sale of the equity interest of two subsidiaries of Embraer, namely, Embraer Portugal Estruturas Metálicas S.A., or EEM, and Embraer Portual Estruturas em Compósitos S.A., or EEC, to Aernnova Aerospace, SAU, or Aernnova. EEM and EEC are responsible for operating our two facilities in Évora, Portugal, which are used for the manufacture and assembly of metallic components and composite material components. The transaction is valued at US$172.0 million and is subject to customary conditions precedent. The binding agreement for the sale was entered into on January 11, 2022 is expected to close in 2022.

Pursuant to the agreement, Embraer and Aernnova formed a strategic partnership for Embraer’s industrial units in Évora, Portugal, aiming at increasing the production of the intelligence centers, whose operation is important for the current and future products of Embraer. Under the terms of the partnership, Aernnova will conduct the operation of the industrial plants in Évora and secure current production packages for Embraer aircraft. The strategic partnership between Embraer and Aernnova will strengthen Embraer’s optimization plan and will maximize the use of our facilities and profitability. The industrial capacity at the industrial plants will also allow Aernnova, in partnership with Embraer, to further expand the plants’ current activities with new contracts either from Embraer or other aircraft manufacturers.

As the transaction was deemed to be highly probable under IFRS 5, the related assets and liabilities involved were classified and measured as held for sale since November 11, 2021, which generated impairment of US$50.1 million. For more information, see note 1.1.3 of our 2021 consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Executive Aviation

The risk-sharing partners for the Phenom 100EV and Phenom 300I jets are Pratt & Whitney Canada, the engines supplier, Garmin, the avionics systems supplier, and for the Phenom 100EV Eaton Corporation, the hydraulic systems supplier. The main risk-sharing partners for the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 jets are Honeywell, which is the engines supplier, and Rockwell Collins, the avionics systems supplier.

Defense and Security

With respect to our Defense and Security business unit, we established partnerships with various entities for the supply of parts. One example is our partnership with ELTA Systems, a subsidiary of the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), announced in 2019 for the launch of the P600 AEW&C. With respect to the C-390 Millennium, we have a partnership with Raytheon Technologies, responsible for various aircraft parts, including the engines, and Rheinmetall, our preferred supplier for simulators and training devices related to the aircraft. For the Super Tucano, we have a partnership with Elbit Systems, who is a strategic and relevant supplier of core electronic components.

Aircraft Financing Arrangements

Commercial aircraft customers may request financing support for aircraft acquisition. This support usually includes providing assistance to customers in obtaining financing arrangements from different sources, including ECAs, leasing companies, commercial banks and capital markets. Financing support may exceptionally include providing assurance that financing will be available for the acquisition.

Additionally, customers may sometimes require short-term bridge financing prior to arranging long-term debt financing, as long-term funding may not be available for them at the time of delivery. On a case-by-case basis, we have provided interim financing, above market rates, to customers who already have their financing arrangement structured or who are in the process of negotiating such arrangements.

47

Government Regulation and Aircraft Certification

We are subject to regulation by regulatory aviation agencies, both in Brazil and abroad. These agencies principally regulate aircraft design, manufacturing and operation. Besides certification in Brazil, we must obtain certification in each jurisdiction in which our aircraft is registered and operated. The certifying authority in Brazil is the National Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil), or the Brazilian Aviation Authority, a special organization with the status of a regulatory agency related to the Ministry of Infrastructure of the Presidency of the Federative Republic of Brazil, which supervises and certifies aircraft, aircraft parts, manufacturers and operations. We are also subject to the regulation of aviation authorities in other countries, including the FAA in the United States and the EASA for the European Union. Once an aircraft is certified by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency and validated by the FAA and/or the EASA, some authorities, including those in Australia and Mexico, may opt to ratify the product certification instead of running a full domestic validation process. Other countries, such as Canada, require compliance with their own specific national requirements before certification. Some countries simply validate and complement original certification of the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency or of the FAA or the EASA, in accordance with their own rules. The Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency has a bilateral certification agreement with several aviation authorities, including the FAA and EASA. This cooperation among regulatory authorities leads to faster certification by the foreign authorities.

Aircraft certification is a continuous process. The Brazilian Aviation Authority must approve any change in the design of any of our aircraft. Significant changes to aircraft design may require a separate validation/certification by other authorities as specified in their regulations and bilateral agreements. Changes in aircraft certification requirements do not require a new certification or a new validation of a previously certified aircraft, but significant safety improvements may otherwise be required by the authorities acting through operational rules or airworthiness directives.

Our defense products must comply with the certification guidelines defined in each contract with the customer. Unlike our civil aircraft, our defense products are not subject to regulatory obligations. Some contracts, including those for civil aircraft modified for military purposes, require civil certification (e.g., India, SIVAM, etc.). Other contracts, including those for LAS and C-390 Millennium, require approval from the Military Certification Authority.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Practices

ESG has been part of our strategy, including in the development of increasingly more eco-efficient aircraft and in the adoption of more sustainable production processes and management of natural resources. This includes two decades of positive social impact produced by Instituto Embraer, which manages our social projects. Nonetheless, we are aware of the responsibility of the private sector of going beyond and we will establish new environmental, social and governance, or ESG, commitments and targets for the next years.

We are embedding our business strategy with social responsibility and environmental impacts in everything we do, from our processes and facilities to product development and our supply chain. We work across all our key stakeholder audiences to develop sound strategies, define indicators, and establish targets that are integrated into our corporate sustainability plan.

ESG principles bring to our day-to-day routine the understanding of the need to generate profit, bearing in mind social and environmental responsibility and best governance practices. Sustainability is key for the continuity of any business and we are committed to align our economic targets to social and environmental performance. In light of the new global ESG requirements, we have been preparing our next steps to face the challenges of fighting climate change and increasing our diversity, inclusion and equity. These priorities add to our commitment to business ethics and absolute focus on the safety of our products, which are key pillars in our sector. Our new portfolio of products and services is significantly competitive and aligned with a new structure that is more agile, efficient and focused on sustainable growth.

48

In 2021, we announced new long-term goals in ESG. Efforts have been intensified to direct the business towards low-carbon aviation and a fairer, more inclusive and diverse society, especially in the communities where the company operates. The main commitments are linked to:

• Limit net carbon emissions to 2021 levels, even as operations grow (“carbon neutral growth”);

• Achieve carbon neutrality in operations by 2040, through the acquisition of electricity 100% from renewable sources, the increasing use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in operations from 2021 and the compensation of residual emissions that are not reduced through efficiency projects, alternative energy available or new technologies.

• Develop sustainable disruptive products, services and technologies, including electrification, hybrids, biofuels, including SAF and other innovative alternative energies;

• Launch “eVTOL” aircraft with zero emission by 2026;

• Leverage diversity in the hiring of gateway programs, in leadership positions and in the aeronautical specialization program maintained by the company.

In 2021, we together with the main players in the global air transport industry, was a signatory to the “Net Zero Aviation 2050” commitment, which directs aviation to reach the long-term climate goal: net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The agreement was signed during the annual assembly of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), held in October 2021 in Boston, United States, and its success involves the development of sustainable disruptive products, services and technologies, such as electrification, hybrids, biofuels, as well as other innovative alternatives

Environmental

Environmental management is an essential part of our strategy and ranges from the development of new products and services, industrial operations to the dismantling and final disposal of the aircraft at its end-of-life.

Our Environment, Health and Safety at Work Policy defines the main corporate guidelines for the management of eco-efficiency, supply chain, product development and climate change, as well as compliance with laws and regulations. In addition, the conduction of projects to reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions make concrete the commitment to respect the environment, reducing environmental impacts and risks. We also focused on initiatives aimed at improving the energy efficiency of its equipment and processes, thus building a global pipeline of projects. The maintenance of ISO 14001 certification, since 2002, shows the compliance and continuous improvement of our processes.

We have also been proactively working on our products and services, with the goal of fulfilling the long-term objectives assumed by the aerospace sector. In the E-Jets E2 family of jets, we have evolved in the aerodynamic and system optimization that made it possible to reduce the aircraft’s fuel consumption by 5%. We used unprecedented solutions in the single aisle market, such as the use of the fly-by-wire system to reduce critical flight loads, allowing to reduce the weight of the aircraft in addition to other aerodynamic cleaning. Due to this extensive work, the E190-E2, which is the first aircraft of the new generation to come into service, had a 17% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions when compared to the first generation.

In addition to our new generation of commercial aircraft, we are developing a new concept of turboprop aircraft. Focused on the short-distance segment, up to 150 seats, the new turboprop will have its development directed to be the most economical solution for short distance operators. We intend to create it in order to be 100% compatible with sustainable aviation fuels and will facilitate its integration with future hydrogen propulsion technologies. Sustainability-oriented, the new turboprop, compared to the current turboprop in operation, will show a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions.

We also announced a family of concept aircraft, the “Energia Family”, composed of four aircraft of varying sizes that incorporate different layout, energy sources and propulsion technologies – electricity, hydrogen fuel cell, dual-fuel gas turbine and hybrid-electric. This family explores a range of sustainable concepts to carry up to 50 passengers and seeks to reduce carbon emissions by 50% from 2030 – a key step towards the goal of being carbon neutral by 2050.

49

The electric demonstrator is another initiative on our journey towards a future of zero carbon emissions and, in 2021, the project reached a new phase with the beginning of the flight-testing campaign. Developed specifically to evaluate new technologies and solutions that enable 100% electric and more sustainable aeronautical propulsion, the demonstrator performs tests at the Embraer unit in Gavião Peixoto, in the interior of São Paulo. This technological cooperation project used a Weg electric powertrain system and a set of EDPfunded batteries that were integrated into an EMB-203 Ipanema, an aircraft that is part of Embraer’s history and became in 2004 the first airplane in the world certified and mass- produced to fly with a renewable fuel source (ethanol). The results of the Electrical Demonstrator allow Embraer to use the knowledge acquired for the application of innovative electrification technologies in the development of new products aligned with the continuous search for a sustainable future.

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are also an important way to reduce CO2 emissions. Embraer is directly involved in various initiatives and partnerships for research and development of the sustainable fuel chain for aviation in Brazil and worldwide. Among them we can mention the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (SAFUG), the Alternative Commercial Aviation Fuels Initiative (CAAFI), the participation in the Brazilian consortium BioValue (in partnership with the European consortium BECOOL, under the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission) that is developing biomass and new technologies for advanced sustainable fuels, including for aviation. In addition to these actions, in strategic partnerships with other actors in the chain, technical studies were carried out to identify the direct and indirect impact of the production of sustainable aviation fuels in Brazil.

Environmental performance is also considered in EmbraerX, an Embraer organization dedicated to the development of disruptive businesses, which is exploring new opportunities focused on urban transport. The concept of an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) was unveiled in 2018 and presented itself as a solution focused not only on safety, passenger experience and affordability, but also on making the least impact in terms of emissions and noise.

Social

We continuously invest in personnel, diversity, inclusion and education, constantly seeking competitiveness and innovation. We make sure that our employees have adequate work conditions, professional development plans, quality of life and wellbeing. Accordingly, we offer an attractive compensation compared to market standards, and social and labor benefits. We also maintain social and environmental programs and projects that value education, culture, leisure and health. For us, promoting social inclusion is key to building a fairer and more sustainable society.

Workforce and Diversity

We constantly seek to build diverse teams that are representative and value the history and uniqueness of all people. In 2020, we created affinity groups, called EMBRACE, to discuss the agenda of diversity, inclusion and equity, representing the following minority groups: Women, Ethnicity, LGBTQIA+ and People with Disabilities.

In the second half of 2021, with the purpose of expanding our operations to an increasingly inclusive and diverse work environment, we carried out a demographic and perception mapping with our employees in the region of America (Brazil and the United States), focusing on the main minority groups, whose fronts are already worked on by the affinity groups mentioned above. There were 8,512 employees participating in the research, which represents 50.7% of the workforce in this region. As next steps based on this result, we intend to carry out a work plan to increase the representativeness of these minority groups, as well as a series of initiatives to promote the inclusion of these employees in our work environment.

50

Parallel to the mapping, we also promoted the awareness of leaders on the theme of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Regarding the awareness of employees, we promoted periods of celebration and reflection on the struggle of some minority groups, stimulating the involvement of employees in discussions and testimonials on the topics. The dates celebrated were the history of the global LGBTQIA+ movement, Brazilian National Day of the Struggle of People with Disabilities and Black Consciousness in Brazil.

Currently, we have developed educational programs and special projects that range from young talents to support in the post-career process, always attentive to people’s different career moments and plurality. We have structured the following programs for recruitment and qualification of workforce:

Embraer Internship Program. The program was structured focused on developing a better experience for candidates and managers, and on the retention of new talents. The program has consistently used artificial intelligence in the recruitment and selection process since 2018, in order to assist in the hiring process with the transformative behavioral profile. We gained agility and were also able to offer the response to candidates in a shorter amount of time.

Young Apprentice Program. One of our practical initiatives for the constant improvement and responsible insertion of teenagers in the marketplace is the Young Apprentice Program. Through this program, we help young people through learning to develop their ability for entry and maintenance in the labor market. The actions aim at developing their autonomy, favoring the search for improved quality of life, decision-making, the construction of healthy affective relationships, and the recognition of themselves as active and participant individuals within their social group. In 2021, about 106 apprentices were selected from more than 14,000 candidates in the cities of São José dos Campos, Taubaté and Gavião Peixoto.

Formare Program. Developed in partnership with the Iochpe Foundation, the Formare Program began in 2019, at the Gavião Peixoto unit, with the objective of training young people in social vulnerability. In 2021, 1,024 hours of theoretical and practical classes were taught, with the participation of 51 volunteer educators (39 theoretical educators and 12 professional practice guidance educators).

Engineering Specialization Program (PEE). In the context of fostering training and development, in 2021 we invested approximately R$5.0 million in this large training initiative. Through the PEE, carried out in partnership with the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), we offer the title of professional master in aeronautical engineering to selected participants who are interested in working in the aviation segment. The classes are taught by professionals of Embraer and teachers of ITA and the students have the possibility to be admitted by Embraer after the completion of the course. In the PEE 2022 selection process, there were more than 3,500 subscribers. Currently 63 Engineers are in training in classes 29 (phase 3) and 30 (phase 1).

Embraer Program on the Diversity Route. Carried out in partnership with educational institutions in the cities of São José dos Campos and Gavião Peixoto, the program focuses on the training of people with disabilities, offering theoretical training and practical training within Embraer and the allocation is carried out according to the profile of the vacancies. The program has contributed to increasing the employability of people with disabilities. Since its launch in 2012, about 247 people have been trained and many have pursued careers in various areas within Embraer such as Production, Quality, Engineering, Logistics and Administrative departments.

Social Tech Program. In 2021, in order to increase the opportunities to qualify workforce for technology and digital transformation, we launched this program, aimed at increasing the participation of individuals with disabilities. In 2021, there were 300 registrations for this program, made in a 100% virtual environment through the platform of the IGTI institution, a partner of the program. The registrations came from 21 states in the country, and one third of the candidates were women. The purpose of the program is for this qualification to be directed to the main minority groups over the next few years, where Embraer has the potential to admit participants to its staff.

For all these programs, we make an effort to ensure the representativeness of minority groups, preparing the attraction and selection team in identifying people, reducing unconscious biases during the selection process, and with internal goals to ensure the achievement of our commitment in 50% of representativeness in minority groups. In 2021, we completed the programs with 55% of representativeness.

Professional Development

Since 2020, we have been reinforcing the people cycle concept, which covers the creation and monitoring of goals, going through the performance evaluation process, quarterly performance monitoring, and development and talent review.

Our performance evaluation process focuses on a culture of high performance and development, opening space for structured and evolutionary feedback and recognizing the deliveries and behaviors of employees in the previous year. The process has three steps: 1) Performance Matrix: with the purpose of evaluating the results and behaviors of employees and position them in the performance matrix; 2) Calibration: with the purpose of meeting with other leaders and calibrate the evaluation of the teams; 3) Performance Conversation: with the purpose of providing feedback to the evaluated employee and inform their final position in the performance matrix.

One of the great outputs of the performance evaluation process is preparing an individual development plan for our employees. We invest heavily in the education, training and development of people, always focusing on the qualification and preparation of our employees to take on the challenges inherent to our business and strategy.

Since 2019, we have been further reinforcing our learning culture, through the EMpower learning ecosystem. Our ecosystem brings together the best forms of learning, either through an internal catalog, with about two thousand educational solutions, or by the possibility of carrying out other development actions through a platform that uses artificial intelligence and creates content. The EMpower ecosystem aims to foster protagonism and self-development for our employees.

The challenges with the pandemic, which we have been experiencing since 2020, were preponderant for Embraer to reinvent itself quickly in the delivery of training and EMpower was essential to reach this goal. From the moment our employees were required to work remotely, we created more than 40 development trails, with a lot of relevant content for the improvement of new skills and meeting the needs of the business.

Considering the extension of remote work and the challenges faced in this pandemic scenario, we maintained professional development livestream videos, started in 2020, as a way to support employees in several relevant topics. We conducted livestream seasons on topics such as culture, people cycle (performance evaluation, definition and monitoring of goals, career conversation, EMpower), future of work, lean transformation and diversity, totaling 31 hours of professional development livestream videos during 2021.

We also continue to invest in the development of online courses, to feed our internal catalog, providing knowledge quickly and effectively to all our units in the world. In 2021, we developed nine online courses to meet new business competencies and 43 other online courses were recertified, in several languages and with the possibility of taking them through mobile devices. Currently, 75% of our employees that participate in our courses prefer to do it online.

In 2021, we recorded about 545,000 hours of training and invested approximately R$4.0 million in development actions. We work with external and internal partners in our programs, and 82% of our training is carried out internally, with about 1,200 knowledge partners. This group is formed by our collaborators, who carry out the elaboration, development, review and instruction of the content, encouraging learning and stimulating the dissemination of knowledge.

Strengthening our EMpower learning ecosystem, we continue with the strategy of building the academies, aligned with our strategic objectives, and supported by an active and permanent learning process. As of December 31, 2021, we had the following academies:

52

Leadership Academy: covers the entire leadership lifecycle, from onboarding to training and development actions in the long term in order to enable the implementation of the corporate strategy. In 2021, the focus of leadership development was structured in five pillars: Business, People Cycle, Diversity, Future of Work and Culture. For each pillar, we developed solutions adjusted to the pandemic scenario, through online solutions. The Culture training was held through 23 classes with more than 80% of global leadership participation, Diversity training was held through 20 classes with 63% of global leadership participation and the Finance training, that was initially directed to leaders involved in strategic business decisions, was held with a workload of 30 hours and 82% of participation. In addition, we developed a program to our new leaders, with a workload of 25 hours distributed throughout the year. In total, within the Leadership Academy, we had more than 2,300 participations, 130 classes held on different topics, totaling 14,000 hours of training dedicated to leadership, with 80% satisfaction and 60% of the content taught by internal facilitators (leaders training leaders).

Engineering Academy: in order to strengthen the aeronautical culture, the training of engineers, technicians and engineering professionals and establish a systemic view of the product, we offer development solutions aligned with the business strategy. In 2021, applications were opened for the 6th edition of the Mentoring Program with the selection of mentees and mentors to start mentoring in February 2022. The main purposes of the program are improving and consolidating the practices of fostering, sharing and preserving the technical knowledge and integration of our technical community. In 2021, the program was awarded for its people management solutions at the Congress of the Brazilian Training and Development Association.

To compose the training of professionals and meet the needs of the business, internal engineering specialists invested 676 hours to train our professionals and we were able to adapt 67 internal training to the online format.

We carried out an update of the strategy and priority with engineering executives to compose the development of professionals and accelerate this learning. We also held three workshops to prepare the curators of the Academy of Engineering, who are career Y professionals or with a lot of experience in engineering, to support us in composing the backlog of training by technology. This backlog will support engineering employees in the construction of their training development plans throughout the cycles. Lastly, we have built new training in the software department to expand the development solutions for this specific technology.

Operations Academy: this academy has the Qualification Program, aimed at employees who work in the manufacture of aircraft. In 2021, there were 24,059 thousand participations in our qualification courses, totaling 87,056 thousand hours of training.

The courses are structured in curricula according to requirements for performance in the production process. The definition of these requirements is carried out in conjunction with representatives of quality, engineering, safety and human resources. The internal procedures and normative requirements for each process are considered. Face-to-face, remote, online and practical educational solutions are offered to enhance the employee’s experience during the learning process.

In 2021, maintenance audits of NBR ISO 14001 and transition to ISO 45001 were carried out in the units of Gavião Peixoto, Botucatu, EDE and São José dos Campos. All these sites were approved with zero non-compliance. In addition, we have also passed the AS 9100 maintenance audit (standard for management system focusing on aerospace quality).

Still within the Operations Academy, we also opened the (i) Supply Chain Academy, which has mapped more than 80 development themes and is directly connected with the challenge of “Fit for Growth” strategic planning and inventory turnover goals; and (ii) the Lean Academy, 198 participants were able to practically experience Lean tools (which seek to eliminate processes that aren’t valuable and improve quality control). In total there were 40 classes spread over 6 different units, including Melbourne, in the United States. In addition to this project, 6,834 other employees were also trained, totaling more than 466 hours of learning in strategic content such as Lean thinking and the 5S pillars (sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain).

53

Corporate Academy: reinforcing our commitment to be a company recognized for ethics and compliance, in 2021, we continued to provide online training for the 6th edition of our Code of Ethics. The contents were made available globally and are part of the mandatory training route for all employees.

Within the Corporate Academy, a program focused on supply professionals was also developed, called Procurement Academy, with the purpose of training them based on the skills necessary to meet our business and strategy needs. In 2021, there were trainings from the skills assessment carried out in 2020. In total, there were more than 8,153 hours of training, totaling 3,033 participation in 71 classes in key competencies, such as: Negotiation, Total Cost, Cleansheet, Financial Mathematics, among other important topics.

Business Academy: considering the strategic planning for the years 2021-2025, and the purpose of boosting our sales through our business units, in 2021, we focused on the construction and development of sales academies. An assessment was carried out with the sales employees of Defense & Security, Commercial Aviation and Services and Support, compared to the market, aiming to evaluate them in the main competencies necessary in the process to direct training and development priorities.

In addition to the diagnosis obtained by this assessment, a review of the skills / readiness matrix of the employees of Commercial Aviation, and the construction of the skills / readiness matrix for Defense & Security Among the actions taken to develop the main gaps identified, it is worth highlighting the Coaching training for leadership and Opportunity Pursuit, covering the 3 three business units participating in the assessment (Defense & Security, Commercial Aviation and Services and Support), totaling 40 hours of training.

Some of the development actions carried out at Commercial Aviation, which comprised not only the sales teams, but also the marketing teams, events, contracts, programs and market intelligence, were programs on Training of Negotiation Techniques and Financial Management for the Program teams; Project Management Training for the Event teams; Financial Management Training for the Contracts and Market Intelligence teams, among others.

On Defense and Security, in addition to the 40 hours of Coaching and Opportunity Pursuit training, we carried out 50 hours of Onboarding training in the sales process, 6 trails built at EMpower, as well as 22 trails under development.

Knowledge Partners Program: We encourage employees to share their skills in order to perpetuate knowledge. In this way, the Knowledge Partners Program was reformulated, allowing educational actions to be conducted mostly by company professionals, promoting greater satisfaction in the courses due to the richness of practical examples and optimization of resources.

To support the quality of the didactics of internal instructors and meet the new education trends, we updated the Multiplier and Virtual Facilitator training, more than 15 classes applied to employees from various sites, benefiting 200 participants and totaling 144 hours of training. This year, in order to develop and encourage new participations, a recognition plan was built for this audience, which was comprised of several activities, such as livestream videos of education themes, an award event for instructors highlighted, among others.

Language Program: We have adopted a professional development policy in focused on business language skills, seeking more robust, concentrated and effective ways to ensure the availability of qualified resources to meet the strategic business objectives of each area. In 2021, we had a significant increase in the number of internal classes with the entry of HR and IT in the English language, increasing from 12 to 29 classes with an average of five to eight students each, with a total of 189 students. All these classes continue to take place online.

54

Future of Work Project: in March 2020, we were affected by the pandemic and had to adapt to the new reality with the purpose of preserving the health and well-being of our employees. We quickly adapted to the remote work format because we already had tools to support this work model. In September, we officially started the global Future of Work project in order to identify, analyze and structure actions and processes for this new remote work format. We formed a multidisciplinary team with approximately 50 employees, representing the main areas of Embraer and divided the fronts into four major themes: Business, People, Operation and Communication.

The project remained active in 2021, and we built new work models, more flexible and adherent to the new reality in the world of work and implemented a financial allowance to support part of the costs of the employee who remained working in his/her home. We also offered a season of livestream videos dedicated to the themes of remote work and mental health, as well as discussions on this subject directed to leaders.

We have prepared a Global Leader’s Guide to guide our leaders on people management and results in remote work, and we have identified several opportunities to adapt our corporate processes to this new reality. We mapped the journey of the new Embraer employee together with the teams of Talent Acquisition, IT, medical team, Payroll and supplier partner to evaluate the possibilities of improvement in the remote hiring process. In this action, we also interviewed newly hired employees and leaders to understand the customer experience, using design thinking techniques to identify people. We ideate with executives and employees to capture expectations and opportunities in the layout of our workspaces. The project implemented several small actions to improve the employee experience and set up a schedule for the continuity of deliveries in 2022.

Occupational Safety

We seek excellence in our occupational health and safety performance, a topic considered a priority for Embraer. To this end, we promote educational and preventive actions in a continuous manner and directed by the Environment, Health and Safety at work (MASS) policy of global scope, which is a guideline for setting goals linked to our business excellence criteria.

The management model adopted in the Embraer Business Excellence Program—P3E uses the concept of Safety, Quality, Delivery and Cost (SQDC), aiming at the standardization and optimization of our operational and cost indicators. In addition to the criteria of business excellence, we have maintained international certifications in its largest manufacturing units for 19 years.

In 2021, the Brazil units successfully achieved the certification of ISO 45001, ensuring the implementation of all the tools provided for in this requirement. We have been working on the creation of important corporate programs that aim at preventive behavior in its operations, in order to record potential situations on a daily basis, directing the dealings quickly and assigning responsibilities among all involved. A consistent policy coupled with the assurance of a robust management system and programs with a focus on preventive has brought results compared to the most recognized global parameters. In 2021, among all the companies in its sector, we achieved the highest score in the safety requirements of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).

Social Projects

For us, promoting social inclusion is key to building a fairer and more sustainable society. Over the years, we have developed several social programs to help develop the communities where we operate.

55

Embraer Institute of Education and Research

The Embraer Institute of Education and Research - IEEP consolidates the private social investment made by us in Brazil. The IEEP initiatives seek to engage communities, schools and Embraer employees in actions aimed at education. In 2021, our social investment was R$16.7 million, destined to programs developed in the regions in which we have activities in Brazil.

Among the IEEP projects, the Embraer Colleges serve low-income students and graduates from the public school system, according to established socioeconomic criteria. The model offers the three grades of high school full-time and, in 19 years of existence, became a reference in education, with high rates of approval in entrance exams of public and private universities. In total, more than 4,400 students have already been trained in the two units of São José dos Campos and Botucatu, in São Paulo. From 2019, in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the project, the Colleges also opened the doors for paying students, allocating 20% of the vacancies to them.

In order to contribute to the continuity of the studies of low-income youth, the IEEP created in 2005 the Scholarship Fund program, aimed at former students of the Colleges with excellent school performance, financial limitations and who have been approved in public or private universities with total exemption from tuition. In 2021, the Scholarship Fund benefited 68 university students.

The IEEP also works directly with local communities, funding educational projects proposed by civil society organizations. The initiatives are guided by the agenda of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since 2004, more than 190 educational projects have been supported. In turn, through the Embraer Historical Center, created in 2006, the IEEP rescues, preserves and disseminates the memory of the aeronautical industry in Brazil – a topic that is the object of study inside and outside the country.

The Embraer Institute also coordinates programs to promote the culture of volunteering through the Wings of Good platform, an online portal that allows the relationship between Civil Society Organizations and Embraer Employees who wish to become volunteers. In 2021, there were more than 500 volunteer posts occupied in Brazil and more than 3000 people impacted by the actions carried out.

Embraer Foundation

In order to consolidate our corporate social responsibility strategy in the United States, we created in 2016 the Embraer Foundation, a sister organization of the Embraer Institute, whose operations are guided by three fronts: volunteering, social and environmental partnerships and entrepreneurship. The pillars are aligned with our global social responsibility strategy and respect the particularities of social investment in the United States. In 2021, more than 300 volunteers engaged in the social activities promoted by the Embraer Foundation, totaling about 2,400 hours. In the partnership pillar, 26 organizations received support from the Embraer Foundation to carry out projects, in the same way as the Social Partnership Program of the Embraer Institute in Brazil.

Corporate Governance

In order to ensure a corporate management focused on sustainable growth and business perpetuity, our corporate governance model is based on integrity and meets the highest market standards in Brazil and in the United States. Our target with respect to corporate governance is to maintain the highest international standards of governance and a robust ethics and compliance program, fully aligned with global standards.

Governance Structure

Our governance structure comprises our board of directors, fiscal council, board of executive officers, internal audit and external audit. For more information on our governance bodies, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees” and “Item 16. Reserved—G. Corporate Governance.”

56

Ethics and Compliance

We seek to ensure integrity and ethics in our activities. Accordingly, we established an ethics and compliance program to promote and support all actions aiming at compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to our business, as well as with our internal policies.

Our ethics and compliance program is based on key elements, including the maintenance of a responsible organization and structure through our leadership, the constant management of risks, the establishment of the appropriate internal control policies and standards, training and communication with our audiences, in addition to a monitoring process, audit and whistleblowing channels for the assessment and investigation of potential misconduct, promoting an ethics and integrity culture in all our units.

On May 22, 2020, we successfully completed the external and independent anticorruption monitoring, which started in January 2017 under the deferred prosecution agreement, or DPA, executed with the U.S. Department of Justice, or DoJ, with the consent of the SEC. We implemented the recommendations of the monitor to strengthen our compliance program and improve our processes, systems and internal controls. The monitor certified that our program reached the standards set forth in the DPA for compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other applicable anticorruption laws. We continue to improve and expand our global compliance program in all our operations and countries where we are present.

Moreover, we permanently invest in the training of employees and business partners on business ethics and integrity through workshops, case studies, lectures and seminars, in the in-person and online formats.

Risk Management

Our risk management method focuses on the following categories of risks: strategic risks, operating risks, financial risks, regulatory/legal risks and cyber risks. Our structure is strengthened by the operation of our risks and internal controls department, comprising the following macroprocesses: management of internal controls, management of corporate risks, monitoring of credit risks in financial transactions, management of crises, and monitoring of risks and potential violations of segregation of functions and business continuity.

The purpose of our risk and internal controls department is to ensure that the identification, prioritization, assessment and management of the main risks are conducted in accordance with the best practices established by us and the market, ensuring transparency and integrity in our processes. We also use these tools to prevent uncertainties that may negatively affect our results. We seek the continuous improvement of our risks and internal controls system.

Management Model and Strategic Planning

Our management model comprises long-term planning, as set forth in our strategic plan, and short- and medium-term projects, as set forth in our action plan. Our strategic plan establishes strategic projects, and our action plan establishes the objectives to be met in the first year and the operating efficiency and economic and financial targets for the period, focused on sustainability.

Our strategic plan and our action plan aim at our business perpetuity and the creation of value for shareholders, focusing on increasing our competitiveness, improving our corporate excellence model and continuously searching for better results. For more information on our strategic plan, see “—Business Strategies.”

Seasonality

We have historically experienced seasonality in our results of operations and cash flow generation. This is mainly due to a traditionally higher number of deliveries in the fourth quarter, particularly in our Executive Aviation business unit, which is in line with overall executive jet industry seasonality. Deliveries of executive jets in the fourth quarter generally constitute at least 35% to 45% of annual deliveries in our Executive Aviation business unit, and we expect this trend to continue.

57

C. Organizational Structure

Our operations are conducted by Embraer S.A. as the controlling and principal operating company. We have a number of direct and indirect subsidiaries, none of which is considered significant. A complete list of our subsidiaries is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to this annual report, and a description of our joint ventures and project subsidiaries and strategic alliances is included in the annual report in Item 3 above.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

For information on our property, plant and equipment, see Note 15 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

For a discussion of our capital expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures.”

Production

The manufacture of an aircraft consists of three principal stages: production of primary parts, assembly of major components and final assembly. Primary parts include metal sheets and plates (produced from die-cast molds, stretch forming or various chemical treatments), parts produced using computerized and non-computerized machines, and prefabricated parts. The primary parts are then assembled, or mated, with one another to produce the aircraft’s major components, which are in turn joined to create the aircraft’s basic structure. In the final assembly stage, the aircraft’s various operating systems (including wiring and electronics) are installed into the structure and tested.

In São José dos Campos, State of São Paulo, Brazil we have production facilities for commercial aircraft. In our Defense and Security business unit we have production facilities located in the Gavião Peixoto plant, which is near the city of Araraquara, located in the central region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. For the final assembly Embraer has two facilities in Florida, in the United States, one for executive jets in Melbourne and one for defense and security aircraft in Jacksonville.

We have the flexibility to increase or decrease production as a response to changing demand.

Commercial Aviation

In July 2009, in line with our initiatives to improve production efficiency pursuant to the Business Efficiency Strategy (Frente Eficiência Empresarial), we converted the final assembly for the E-Jets E1 family to a line concept in São José dos Campos, which resulted in a significant reduction in the cycle of production time. In 2015, we started the prototype production for the new E-Jets E2 family of jets, with the first delivery and production certification in 2018.

Executive Aviation

Executive Jets is produced in São José dos Campos, and are also produced in Melbourne, Florida in the United States. The Melbourne facility is a final assembly plant with a Customer Center and an Engineering Office. In 2014, we announced an expansion plan to assemble the Legacy 450/500 in this facility, to improve our production capacity. We have been increasing the number of executive jets produced in Melbourne since 2016. Executive Jets has been manufactured in Gavião Peixoto facility since 2020.

Defense and Security

The Gavião Peixoto facility includes flight-testing capabilities for all Embraer aircraft and a final assembly line for our defense aircraft. This facility has been operational since November 2002. In May 2014, we inaugurated the final assembly line of the new military transport and aerial refueling jet, the C-390 Millennium, and in February 2015, it successfully performed its first flight. Embraer is currently conducting flight tests for the C-390 Millennium. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we received the Type Certificate from the Brazilian Aviation Authority for the multi-mission airlift C-390 Millennium and delivered the first aircraft in 2019.

58

We have a final assembly facility in Jacksonville, Florida for Defense and Security where we initiated the final assembly line for the A-29 Super Tucano for the United States Air Force’s LAS Program in 2013.

In 2016, we launched the GDDN in Gavião Peixoto. It is the hub for the Gripen NG technology development in Brazil for Saab and Embraer together with the Brazilian partner industries and institutions. The GDDN includes the development environment and simulators required to undertake the fighter development work. In addition, the GDDN is connected to Saab in Sweden and the industrial partners in Brazil, securing both technology transfer and efficient development.

Other Related Business Unit

In September 2012, we opened two facilities in Évora, Portugal, one for the manufacture and assembly of metal components and one for the manufacture and assembly of composite material components. The start-up of these facilities went as planned, and they made their first deliveries in November 2012. In 2015 Évora’s production plan included major components for the Legacy 450/500, Praetor 500/600, E-Jets, E-Jets E2 and C-390 Millennium.

We manufacture aerospace systems and components at ELEB, which is an Embraer subsidiary located in São José dos Campos, and its main products are landing gear systems, hydraulics and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies, such as actuators, valves, accumulators and pylons.

EZ Air Interior Limited, our subsidiary for the production of interior parts for our Commercial Aviation business unit in Mexican factories, began production and shipping of parts to Brazil in 2013. It achieved full production capacity in January 2015.

In 2015, we completed the acquisition of a new subsidiary, Embraer Aero Seating Technologies. We progressively acquired its ownership stake in the company, headquartered in Irwindale, California, which provides luxury seating solutions for the aviation industry and for Embraer product lines. In 2016, we opened a new state of the art manufacturing facility located in Titusville, Florida.

On November 11, 2021, our board of directors approved the sale of the equity interest of two subsidiaries of Embraer, namely, Embraer Portugal Estruturas Metálicas S.A., or EEM, and Embraer Portugal Estruturas em Compósitos S.A., or EEC, to Aernnova Aerospace, SAU, or Aernnova. EEM and EEC are responsible for operating our two facilities in Évora, Portugal, which are used for the manufacture and assembly of metallic components and composite material components. The transaction is valued at US$172.0 million and is subject to customary conditions precedent. The binding agreement for the sale was entered into on January 11, 2022 is expected to close in 2022.

Environmental Matters

We have all material permits required to operate our business in all Embraer sites around the world. The terms of these operating permits are reviewed every year and, as of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of them. In addition, our Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Management System was established in 2001, allowing us to maintain ISO 14001 certification since 2002. Certified environmental, health and safety management systems have been progressively implemented across our manufacturing sites, with around 80% of our employees operating under an ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Work procedures and instructions are set up in order to ensure that the activities that cause environmental impacts are carried out in order to minimize or mitigate any environmental damage, and we perform studies of environmental aspects and impacts and we implement actions to eliminate, reduce or control them, including infrastructure works.

59

We established a corporate procedure for performing environmental diagnoses and detailed investigations for finding the presence of contaminants in soil and water due to past activities. This procedure is applied to the areas where Embraer has production and/or maintenance facilities, as well as to new areas being acquired. Currently, all industrial operations in Brazil and abroad have already mapped their soil and ground water. The evaluation results are periodically reported and monitored by the internal Risk Department, also reported to the CCRA (Committee for Environmental Risk and Control), our board and shareholders.

We take into account environmental and safety requirements to enter into agreements with third parties. Embraer is committed to hire suppliers, service providers and contractors who respect the environment, health and safety through their practices and processes, and we have a systematic procedure for their continual evaluation and monitoring.

We encourage not only the environmental certification but also the development of a full life cycle orientation for products and services, as this remains the most cost-efficient and practical way to effectively reduce environmental impacts. The environmental management system attempts to create economic value by reducing environmental costs and exposure at each stage of the product life, from design to operations and to end of life. Integrated development of environmentally sustainable products, through the design for environment methodology, aims to incorporate environmental requirements into product development throughout the various stages of production.

The implementation of further innovative and eco-efficient technologies and processes is a key factor in ensuring our sustainability, increasing the attractiveness of our products and our overall competitiveness. We continuously pursue eco-efficiency, seeking responsible business opportunities by developing breakthrough technologies, products and services, as well as by reducing the environmental impact of our activities and products throughout their life cycle, and, more generally, by integrating environmental concerns into our daily business. We recognize that environmental requirements, such as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, are becoming one of the main drivers of airline fleet decisions and are already influencing aircraft developments.

We are committed to Brazilian and international legislations as well as our customers’ requirements. Our suppliers must also ensure that the environmental requirements will be followed through its upstream supply chain. Accordingly, our suppliers and their supply chain must comply with applicable environmental legislations, such as European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, CEPA (Canadian Environment Protection Act), TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) and any other relevant rules that may affect our products.

The REACH regulation aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment through more strict regulation of chemicals. The regulation establishes progressive withdrawal of some of the substances considered of very high concern for human health and the environment. As of December 31, 2021, we have not suffered any penalties in connection with REACH.

Over the past few years, we have worked to fulfil our responsibilities under REACH. We have replaced substances used in our production processes that are harmful to the environment and employee health with less harmful alternatives. Several materials have already been replaced in accordance with REACH restrictions, and we are studying the feasibility of replacing more substances widely used in the aviation industry. We are also part of the International Aerospace Environmental Group and the Aerospace Industries Association, to develop solutions for environmental regulations compliance. We are working with our supply chain on several initiatives to avoid supply chain disruptions and provide support to customers.

In 2021, the SCIP- Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products)—a database for information on articles was established under the Waste Framework Directive (WFD). As a result, Embraer needs to obtain and manage knowledge about substances of high concern present in the different articles that make up the aircraft. At any time, a customer can request a report with such information. That’s why the company has been preparing, since 2020, to meet this demand. As of December 31, 2021, we have not received any requests related to SCIP.

60

We are fully committed to product sustainability. Accordingly, we are associated with The Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA), the leading global organization for developing and promoting the safe and sustainable management of circularity of components and aircraft in the aviation sector. AFRA is a membership-based global collaboration to elevate industry performance and increase commercial value for end-of-service aircraft and significantly improved the management of end-of-life aircraft in terms of environmental and sustainable performance.

Insurance

We maintain insurance at levels deemed to meet all risks associated with our operations and legislation. The insurance covers potential damages to our property, inventories, working process, cargo and aircraft hulls for our own fleet. In addition, we maintain a comprehensive aviation products liability policy, for claims arising out of our legal liability as manufacturers, repairers, suppliers or servicers. We also possess natural disaster and business interruption insurance.

The outbreak of communicable diseases on a global scale has affected the global economy and resulted in sporadic volatility in global capital markets and may have a recessionary effect on the global economy, including in Brazil.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has compelled governments around the world to adopt measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, which has caused significant disruptions to the global economy and normal business operations across a growing list of sectors and countries. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected business confidence and consumer sentiment, and has been, and may continue to be, accompanied by significant volatility in financial and commodity markets. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 had broader macro-economic implications, including the reduction on levels of economic growth.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have adopted several initiatives focused on health and safety of our employees, including health and safety measures, carry-out of essential activities only, including customer support, aircraft maintenance and manufacturing, social distancing, remote work for some employees, reduction of working hours and wages, collective vacations, and paid leaves. We conducted job preservation plans and voluntary dismissal plans in the context of the pandemic.

We also adopted certain measures to preserve our cash flow, including reduction in working hours and pay cuts, extension of suppliers’ payment terms, extension of tax payment deadlines, negotiation of new bank credit facilities, and adjustments to the production chain.

The effects of the economic recovery on our business and especially on our supply chain dynamics are uncertain. Although vaccination campaigns have presented relevant advances around the globe in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, we still cannot fully determine the potential impact of further COVID-19 related developments in the short to medium term, given possible new developments, and possible different lockdown strategies taken by governments, affecting airports, passengers and airlines, and thus industry recovery itself. As a result, we expect that air traffic disruption and decreased demand globally may continue to materially and adversely affect our deliveries in 2022.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020, Fitch downgraded our rating from BBB- to BB+ and Moody’s downgraded our rating from Ba1 to Ba2 with a negative outlook. In June 2020, Standard & Poor’s downgraded our credit rating from BBB- to BB+ with a negative outlook, and from BB+ to BB in February 2021, also due to the challenges and uncertainties faced by the aerospace and defense industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date of this annual report we have taken measures to preserve our cash flow, including (i) reductions in working hours and pay cuts; (ii) reductions and pay cuts in executive management and board of directors’ fees (iii) extension of payment terms relating to our suppliers; (iv) extension of tax payment deadlines; (v) negotiation of new credit lines; and (vi) adjustment of our production chain.

For information on the risks related to COVID-19, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—The outbreak of communicable diseases around the world, including COVID-19, may lead to higher volatility in the global capital markets and recessionary pressure on the global economy,” and “Item 3. Key Information—3D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—A downturn in our key markets may reduce our sales and revenue, and, consequently, our profitability.” For additional information on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, see Note 1.1.1 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Commercial Aviation

In the Commercial Aviation business unit, the extensive traffic disruption affected our customer’s operations throughout the world. According to Cirium, as of December 31, 2021, approximately one fourth of the global fleet was in storage. According to the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), global commercial airline traffic volume in 2021 recovered to 42% of 2019 levels by December 2021, as showed in

62

IATA’s Air Passenger Market Analysis report. Given the slow recovery, likewise last year, we are in ongoing discussions and negotiations with certain of our customers as a result of developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our customers have rescheduled aircraft deliveries for 2022 and beyond, which has affected our deliveries for 2021, but, as of the date of this annual report, no aircraft order has been cancelled.

We expect that traffic disruption and decreased demand affecting our customer’s operations globally may continue to materially affect our deliveries in 2022. We cannot fully determine the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in the short-to-medium term on our business. Despite of uncertainty scenario in the short-term, we identified positive signs of market recovery, which includes new firm orders announced in 2021 and in 2022.

Executive Aviation

In the Executive Aviation business unit, restrictions on travel and emergency quarantine have posed some challenges for aircraft deliveries to international customers. As of the date of this annual report, production lines of our executive aviation products are able to attend the planned supply levels, with no major supply shortages. We continue to supervise delivery risk and monitor our supply chain and, if necessary, postpone certain aircraft deliveries. As a result of developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, as of the date of this annual consolidated financial statements, only one customer of our Executive Aviation business unit has cancelled its firm orders and certain other customers have postponed their aircraft deliveries.

Although we cannot fully predict the impact of the continuity of COVID-19 outbreak in the short-to-medium term on our business, we expect that some customers may postpone their scheduled aircraft deliveries and/or will continue to cancel their orders. For 2022, we expect that the executive jet market will increase as compared to the volume delivered on 2021, continuing to gradually recover in the following years.

Defense and Security

In our Defense and Security business unit, the COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted mainly supply chain and logistics. Although our suppliers’ production level has shown recovery, it is still below the pre-pandemic levels, which impact their ability to deliver parts and goods to us in a timely manner. Logistics for imports and exports has also been impacted, with higher cycles and costs, for air freight, due to the lower availability of international flights, and freight by sea, due to the unavailability of containers, increasing the time for delivery of parts.

Deliveries planned to take place in the fourth quarter of 2021 were completed, but we experienced delays in the delivery of certain orders to customers throughout 2021, which caused a delay in revenue recognition and realization of cash inflows, due to restrictive measures and sanitary barriers generated by the pandemic. Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Brazilian Government’s budget for defense projects, of which certain amount was redirected to expenses with public health. This reassessment in the Brazilian Government’s budget has delayed and, on some occasions, suspended purchases of defense products. We have been taking the necessary actions to overcome the challenges imposed by COVID-19 and minimize impacts on our deliveries and results of operations.

Necessary adjustments to the commitments agreed with customers have already been negotiated and we have taken the necessary actions to overcome the challenges imposed by COVID-19 and minimize impacts on deliveries, as well as following the sanitary measures to combat COVID-19. We also supported the Brazilian Air Force in carrying out various logistical support activities related to the pandemic. Using the KC-390, the Brazilian Air Force transported oxygen cylinders to Manaus and delivered more than 44 tons of vaccines in several cities in the country.

Services and Support Business Unit

Our Services and Support business unit also suffered a negative impact as a result of the decrease in traffic demand and overall impact in the aviation industry but has shown gradual recovery still in 2020.

63

We expect that all segments associated with this business unit continue progressing to either recover pre-pandemic business volumes (similar to the Commercial Aviation business unit) or to maintain business activities without presenting significative losses associated to pre-pandemic volumes (as it is the case with Defense and Executive segments). Although, in 2021, we were able to properly support customer needs, convert commercial opportunities into new businesses, and to renew contracts, we cannot assure you that these positive trends will continue in the future.

Cybersecurity Incident

On November 24, 2020, we suffered a cybersecurity incident in our IT systems, which was later identified as a ransomware attack. The attack resulted in the encryption of an environment of virtual servers hosted in Brazil, prevented access to certain files and resulted in the inadvertent disclosure of data, some of which were made available on the dark web. We have reported the incident to law enforcement authorities.

Immediately after the incident, we employed significant IT resources, took measures to protect and strengthen the security of our systems, isolated the affected environment and repaired our network. As part of our reaction, we hired Tempest Security Intelligence, a leading cybersecurity firm, to investigate the incident and supplement our remediation efforts. Embraer adopted additional measures to strengthen the security of its systems, as well as reporting the incident to competent authorities, in Brazil and abroad.

The incident had no significant impact over our revenues, cash flows or any material incremental expenses for the 2020 fiscal year and we have not had any similar incident in 2021. There is also no indication that the accuracy and completeness of any financial information had been affected as a result of the incident.

Brazilian Economic Environment

The Brazilian government has frequently intervened in the Brazilian economy and occasionally made drastic changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and affect other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies and incentives, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. Changes in Brazil’s monetary, credit, tariff and other policies could adversely affect our business, as could inflation, currency and interest-rate fluctuations, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments in Brazil, as well as the Brazilian government’s response to these developments.

Rapid changes in Brazilian political and economic conditions that have occurred and may occur require continued assessment of the risks associated with our activities and the adjustment of our business and operating strategy accordingly. Developments in Brazilian government policies, including changes in the current policy and incentives adopted for financing exports of Brazilian goods, or in the Brazilian economy, over which we have no control, may have a material adverse effect on our business.

The following table shows data for real GDP growth, inflation, interest rates and the U.S. dollar exchange rate for and as of the periods indicated.

Inflation and exchange rate variations have had, and may continue to have, substantial effects on our financial condition and results of operations. Inflation and exchange rate variations affect our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in reais. The value of these assets and liabilities as expressed in U.S. dollars declines when the real devalues against the U.S. dollar and increases when the real appreciates. In periods of devaluation of the real, we report (i) a remeasurement loss on real-denominated monetary assets and (ii) a remeasurement gain on real-denominated monetary liabilities. For additional information on the effects of exchange rate variations on our financial condition and results of operations, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Exchange Rate Risk.”

For additional information on the impact of macro-economic factors on our financial position, see Note 27 of our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Tax Incentives

Similar to other Brazilian companies across multiple industries, we benefit from certain tax and other government-granted incentives, including those related to our export and research and development activities. For the effective tax reconciliation, see Note 24.3 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Tax Incentives for Companies in Research and Development

Brazilian Law 11,196/05, also known as Lei do Bem, grants tax benefits to entities involved in research and development activities for technological innovation.

To take advantage of the tax benefits, a beneficiary must (i) assess its income tax according to the real profit (lucro real) measurement, (ii) record taxable profits, (iii) be current with all of its fiscal obligations, which consists of being able to obtain a certification from the government demonstrating that there are no outstanding debts with tax authorities, and (iv) have investments in research and development.

Technological innovation is deemed to be the development of a new product or manufacturing procedure, as well as the addition of new features or characteristics to an existing product or manufacturing procedure, which entails incremental improvements and gains in quality or productivity, therefore resulting in greater market competitiveness.

We and other Brazilian companies across multiple industries benefit from these tax incentives with respect to the income tax (Imposto de Renda Pessoa Jurídica), or IRPJ, and the social contribution on net income tax (Contribuição Social sobre o Lucro Líquido), or CSLL. These benefits allow us to deduct from our taxable net income an additional amount between 60% to 80% of our expenditures related to research and development activities for technological innovation during a fiscal year, for calendar year 2021 Embraer did not take advantage of the additional deduction as we are in a tax loss position. For additional information, see Note 23 of our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Tax Incentives and Payroll Exemptions for Exporting Companies

Normative Instruction 1291/2012 from the Brazilian Federal Revenue (IN RFB 1291/2012) established Special Customs Regime of Industrial Warehouse under automated control of Customs Board (RECOF) which allows the beneficiary company to import or to acquire in the local market raw materials, parts and components destined to industrial application on which federal taxes are suspended. Part of these goods must be processed, and it can be subsequently shipped both to domestic and foreign markets. When exporting the finished good, the company exempts the payment of federal taxes.

Decree 49.778/05, from the State of São Paulo, established the Simple Special Customs Regime (RESE), which is the State version of RECOF and suspends or exempts the payment of state taxes.

66

Brazilian Law 11.196/2005 established the Special Regime for Acquisition of Capital Goods for Export Companies (RECAP) which provides that companies in auto parts, machinery, vehicles, textiles, footwear, furniture, and some appliance sectors are eligible to take full PIS and COFINS tax credits on purchases of fixed assets (machinery and equipment) destined for production.

Brazilian Law 12.546/11 established the tax incentives for exporting companies and created the Special Regime for the Reintegration of Taxes of Exporting Companies (Regime Especial de Reintegração de Valores Tributários para as Empresas Exportadoras), or REINTEGRA, to stimulate and facilitate exports. The goal of REINTEGRA is to recover, in whole or in part, the residual tax costs from the production chain of exported goods, thereby reducing the tax burden. The exporting entity may receive tax credits according to a percentage, which may vary from 0.1% to 3%, established by decree of the Brazilian Finance Ministry and applied to the revenue earned from the export of the goods abroad. As a result of decree 9,393/2018 of the Brazilian Finance Ministry, which became effective on May 31, 2018, the tax incentive percentage was lowered to 0.1%.

To take advantage of those tax benefits, (i) an exporting entity must manufacture the exported product in Brazil, (ii) the product must be codified in the TIPI, which is a material code list issued by Brazilian fiscal authorities under the Tax on Manufactured Products (Imposto Sobre Produtos Industrializados), or IPI, and (iii) the cost of imported materials used in the exported product may not exceed certain limits prescribed by law, expressed as a percentage of the export price.

Brazilian Law 12,546/11 also aimed to increase production through the establishment of a payroll exemption. Until September 1, 2018, we benefited from this payroll exemption with the substitution of the employer social security contribution of 20% of INSS on payroll for an alternative tax called the Social Security Contribution Over Gross Revenues (Contribuição Previdenciária Sobre a Receita Bruta) to be levied on the revenues of certain products and services, excluding revenues from exports. Payroll exemption rates varied from 2.0% to 4.5% of gross revenues, depending on the business sector. Brazilian law 13,670/2018 canceled the payroll exemption as of September 1, 2018, and we filed a lawsuit requesting the applicability of the payroll exemption to us for the entire year of 2018. The court ruled in our favor. There was no payroll exemption in 2021.

Principal Operating Data and Components of Our Statement of Income

Operating Data

Revenue

We generate revenues from the sale of aircraft and spare parts as well as from providing maintenance and repair, training and other product support services. In 2021, we presented revenues from Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, Defense and Security, Services and Support, and Other Related business units.

Of our total revenues, 58.3% and 58.0% were generated through commercial and executive aircraft deliveries in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue arising from the sale of commercial and executive aircraft is denominated in U.S. dollars. In 2021 and 2020, total defense and security revenue included 75% and 67% of revenue denominated in foreign currency, predominantly in U.S. dollars, and 25% and 33% denominated in Brazilian reais, respectively. Our Services and Support business unit accounted for 27.0% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In addition, we generate revenue from our Other Related business unit, which include single-source supply of structural parts and mechanical and hydraulic systems to other aircraft manufacturers, and general aviation propeller aircraft, including crop dusters, which are also referred to as light aircraft.

67

For the sales of our aircraft, we receive an initial deposit upon the execution of the purchase agreement, progress payments prior to the delivery of each aircraft and a final payment upon delivery. The final payment typically represents the majority of the sale price. The deposits and the progress payments are for the most part nonrefundable in the event orders are canceled, except in the case of the Defense and Security business unit. Payments in advance of delivery are recorded under contract liabilities as a liability on our statement of financial position and, when we deliver the aircraft, these payments are recognized as revenue. We generally receive monetary deposits for each option to purchase an executive or commercial jet. For additional information on our operating revenues, see Note 3 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Our sales contracts in U.S. dollars with our Executive Aviation and Services and Support business units customers generally include adjustments for inflation as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, when deliveries are not in the same calendar year of the sale except when fixed prices are pre-determined considering the estimated inflation and strategic price positioning planning of a given aircraft model, in line with Embraer’s strategic planning. Our sales contracts with our Commercial Aviation and generally Defense and Security business unit customers include adjustments to the purchase price of the aircraft based on an escalation formula, which is based on a mix of indexes related to raw material, transportation equipment and labor costs. Specific to Defense and Security sales contracts with Brazilian customers, national indexes are used to adjust the prices of the relevant contract. The initial deposits and progress payments are nonrefundable (except in some instances contemplated in the agreement). Once a customer exercises an option to purchase an aircraft, we account for it as a firm order, and we begin to receive the respective progress payments and recognize revenue upon delivery of the aircraft or the contractual milestone.

A significant part of our defense contracts, including the contracted research and development for specific programs, meet the criteria for revenue recognition by percentage of completion. For the contracts that do not meet the criteria for percentage of completion, we recognize revenue at a point of time, on the moment the product is delivered, or the service is rendered. Certain contracts contain provisions for the redetermination of price based upon future economic conditions. Our defense customers continue to provide customer advances, which are converted into revenue as we fulfill pre-determined stages of completion of the project, including conception, development and design, and engineering, systems integration and customization. These installments are nonrefundable for the most part.

Cost of Sales and Services

Cost of sales and services consists of the cost of the aircraft, spare parts and services rendered, comprising:

• Raw materials. Substantially all materials costs are covered by contracts with suppliers. Prices under these contracts are generally adjusted based on an escalation formula which reflects, in part, inflation in the United States.

• Labor. These costs comprise salaries and related charges primarily in Brazilian reais.

• Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives, ranging from five to 48 years, on a straight-line basis. Depreciation of aircraft under operating leases is recorded in cost of sales and services from the beginning of the lease term using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life and considering a residual value at the end of the lease term. For additional information on depreciation, see Note 15 to our 2020 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

• Amortization. Internally generated intangible assets are amortized in accordance with the estimated sales of the series of aircraft. Intangible assets acquired from third parties are amortized on straight-line bases over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

In accordance with the accounting standard for contingencies, we accrue a liability for the obligations associated with product warranties at the aircraft delivery date, which is estimated based on historical experience and recorded in cost of sales and services.

68

We enter into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, including training, technical assistance, spare parts and other concessions. These costs are recognized when the product or service is provided to the customer.

2021 Compared with 2020

Revenue

Consolidated revenue increased 11.3% in the period, from US$3,771.1 million in 2020 to US$ 4,197.2 million in 2021. Revenues from our Commercial Aviation business unit increased 18.1%, from US$1,114.4 million in 2020 to US$1,316.4 million in 2021, mainly due to an increase of 9.1% in commercial aircraft deliveries, from 44 in 2020 to 48 in 2021. The increase in revenues was higher than the increase in the number of deliveries, as 43.8% of commercial jet deliveries in 2021 were larger jets (E190-E1, E190-E2 and E195-E2) which tend to carry higher average selling prices, as compared to 2020, in which 27.3% of total commercial jet deliveries were larger jets.

Revenue from our Executive Aviation business unit increased 5.5%, from US$1,071.5 million in 2020 to US$1,130.1 million in 2021, mainly due to an 8.1% increase in executive jet deliveries, from 86 jets in 2020 to 93 jets in 2021. The increase in revenues was lower than the increase in the number of deliveries, as 66.7% of executive jet deliveries in 2021 were light jets (Phenoms) which tend to carry lower average selling prices, as compared to 2020, in which 65.1% of total executive jet deliveries were larger jets.

A significant part of our revenue from the Defense and Security business unit is accounted for under the percentage of completion method, and we continued to execute under existing contracts with the Brazilian government, including the KC-390 Millennium program, SISFRON, deliveries of special mission aircraft, and others. Additionally, we continued to deliver Super Tucano aircraft to several countries around the world. Our Defense and Security business unit revenues declined 9.1%, from US$653.9 million in 2020 to US$594.4 million in 2021, mainly impacted by the agreement reached with the Brazilian Air Force, as we announced on February 9, 2022, which caused an impact of US$40.9 million in our net revenues in 2021.

Revenue from our Services and Support business unit increased 23.1%, from US$920.0 million in 2020 to US$1.132.2 million in 2021, mainly due to the recovery of the business activities, and continues to show solid recovery as the airlines flight activities are recovering from the pandemic peak in 2020.

Revenue from our Other Related business unit increased 113.3%, from US$11.3 million in 2020 to US$24.1 million in 2021.

Cost of Sales and Services

Cost of sales and services increased 7.4%, from US$3,293.5 million in 2020 to US$3,537.6 million in 2021. This increase in cost of sales and services was slower than the 11.3% increase in consolidated revenues in 2021, as compared to 2020, which resulted in a decrease in cost of sales and services as a percentage of revenue from 87.3% in 2020 to 84.3% in 2021. This decrease in cost of sales and services as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to the increase in revenues and our ongoing efficiency programs which directly affects costs, mainly due to synergy gains as reunification of our commercial aviation business into one operational structure and working capital management. Our gross margin increased from 12.7% in 2020 to 15.7% in 2021.

70

Cost of sales and services in our Commercial Aviation business unit increased 16.3%, from US$1,086.8 million in 2020 to US$1,263.9 million in 2021. This is due to the increase in deliveries and revenues in 2021, as compared to 2020. Cost of sales and services increased less than the 18.1% increase in revenues in 2021, mainly due to our ongoing efficiency programs which directly affects costs. Gross margin in our Commercial Aviation business unit increased from 2.5% in 2020 to 4.0% in 2021.

Cost of sales and services in our Executive Aviation business unit increased 4.2%, from US$886.1 million in 2020 to US$ 923.4 million in 2021, which was lower than the 5.5% increase in revenues for the business unit. This was mainly due to our ongoing efficiency programs which directly affects costs and as a result of the more favorable mix of jet deliveries, as our most profitable aircraft in the portfolio, the Phenom 300, represented 60.2% of jet deliveries in 2021 as compared to 58.1% in 2020. Gross margin in our Executive Aviation business unit increased from 17.3% in 2020 to 18.3% in 2021.

Cost of sales and services in our Defense and Security business unit declined 11.1%, from US$549.1 million in 2020 to US$488.4 million in 2021. This decrease in cost of sales and services was higher than the 9.1% decline in revenue in the same period, mainly due to the costs adjustments as a result of the agreement reached with the Brazilian Air Force, as mentioned above. Gross margin in our Defense and Security business unit increased from 16.0% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021.

Cost of sales and services in our Services and Support business unit increased 10.1%, from US$751.4 million in 2020 to US$ 827.6 million in 2021. This increase in cost of sales and services was strongly lower than the 23.1% increase in revenue in the same period. Gross margin in our Services and Support business unit increased from 18.3% in 2020 to 26.9% in 2021.

Cost of sales and services in the Other Related business unit increased 70.6% from US$20.1 million in 2020 to US$34.3 million in 2021, while revenues for this business unit increased 113.3% in 2021.

Gross Profit

As a result of the aforementioned factors, our gross profit increased 38.1% to US$659.6 million in 2021 from US$477.6 million in 2020. Our gross margin increased to 15.7% in 2021 from 12.7% in 2020.

Operating Income (Expenses)

As further discussed below, total operating expenses decreased 74.8% to US$458.3 million in 2021, from US$801.0 million in 2020. Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 10.9% in 2021 as compared to 21.2% in 2020, as further explained in the paragraphs below.

Administrative. Administrative expenses increased 6.8%, from US$143.4 million in 2020 to US$ 153.2 million in 2021. The majority of our administrative expenses are fixed and do not increase or decrease at the same rate as changes in our revenues. That said, the main drivers of the increase in administrative expenses in 2021 versus 2020 were higher provisions for short-term incentive compensation and profit-sharing on better expected results for Embraer in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Selling. Selling expenses increased 16.7%, from US$194.0 million in 2020 to US$226.4 million in 2021, due to abnormally low expenses in last year’s period due to restrictions in place caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, we started to move towards more normalized levels of marketing, demonstration flight, and sales campaign expenses such as travel.

Expected credit (losses)reversal over financial assets and contract assets. Expected credit (losses) reversals over financial assets and contract assets decreased from a loss of US$61.8 million in 2020 to a gain of US$ 13.0 million in 2021 due to the beginning of recovery out of the crisis and related improvements in the credit risk of our customers.

71

Research. Research expenses increased 44.3%, to US$43.0 million in 2021 from US$29.8 million in 2020, due to our project recoveries from the pandemic budget restriction during the worst period of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and expenses related to the Eve project.

Other operating income (expense), net. Other operating expense decreased 86.7% from an expense of US$374.7 million in 2020 to an expense of US$49.8 million in 2021, with a considerable portion of the decrease due to the fact that in 2020 this line recorded higher external and independent anticorruption monitoring costs, higher separation costs in connection with the now-terminated strategic partnership with Boeing, as well as the recognition of abnormal costs related to employee salaries that were on paid leave during the first quarter of 2020 rather than booking these expenses in cost of goods sold, administrative, selling, and research expense as a result of the COVID-19 impacts, and a gain of US$39.1 million in fair value remeasurement related to our stake in Republic Airways Holdings from 2020 to 2021.

Equity in Income (Losses) of Associates

Equity in income of associates decreased from US$2.7 million in 2020 to US$1.1 million in 2021.

Operating Income/(Loss) Before Financial Result

As a result of the aforementioned factors, our consolidated operating income (loss) before financial result increased from an operating loss of US$323.4 million in 2020 to an operating income of US$201.3 million in 2021. Our operating margin increased from a negative margin of 8.6% in 2020 to a positive margin of 4.8% in 2021.

Operating profit (loss) before financial income (expense) for each of the Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, Defense and Security, Services and Support and Other Related business units was a loss of US$4.6 million, a profit of US$129.8 million, a profit of US$ 17.0 million, a profit of US$161.4 million, and a loss of US$33.3 million, respectively. In 2020, operating profit (loss) before financial income (expense) for these business units was a loss of US$273.2 million, a profit of US$89.9 million, a profit of US$32.6 million, a loss of US$72.1 million, and a loss of US$31.4 million, respectively. For additional information on operating profit by business unit, see Note 38.5 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Financial Expenses, Net

Financial expenses, net decreased from US$232.7 million in 2020 to US$199.4 million in 2021, primarily due to a reversal of US$ 50.3 million related to the settlement of certain residual value guarantee in 2021, partially offset by an increase in interest on loans and financing and changes in fair value of our phantom shares program (cash-settled share-based payment).

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss), Net

Foreign exchange gain (loss), net changed from a loss of US$79.1 million in 2020, compared to a gain of US$ 25.5 million in 2021, driven by the appreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar related to the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries which are recorded in Euro.

Loss Before Income Tax

As a result of the aforementioned factors, loss before taxes on income decreased from US$635.2 million in 2020 to a profit US$27.4 million in 2021.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased from an income tax expense of US$93.1million in 2020 to an income tax expense of US$70.9 million in 2021, primarily due to the impact of the exchange rate over non-monetary assets (primarily inventories, intangibles, and property, plant and equipment). For additional information on the reconciliation of income tax expense, see Note 24.3 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

72

Loss for the Period

As a consequence of the aforementioned factors, our loss for the period, excluding non-controlling interest, decreased from a loss of US$728.3 million in 2020 to a loss of US$43.5 million in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, net margin decreased from a negative margin of 19.3% in 2020 to a negative margin of 1.0% in 2021.

2020 Compared with 2019

For this discussion, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Results of Operations—2020 Compared with 2019” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 9, 2021.

Accounting Standards

For this information, see note 4 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our liquidity needs arise mainly from working capital requirements, research and development, principal and interest payments on our debt, capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders. To meet these needs, we generally rely on funds provided by operations, borrowings under our credit arrangements, cash contributions from risk-sharing partners, advance payments from customers and, to a lesser extent, issuance of debt and equity securities in the capital markets. For additional information on our working capital requirements and our capital sources, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Suppliers and Components; Risk-Sharing Arrangements” and “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Commercial Aviation Business Unit—Production, New Orders and Options” and “—Credit Facilities and Lines of Credit.”

As of the date of this annual report, we believe that our traditional sources of funds are sufficient to meet our foreseeable working capital requirements, including to (i) make other planned capital expenditures and (ii) pay dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity. Our access to liquidity sources was not materially impacted in 2021. However, there can be no assurance that our traditional sources of funds, or that the cost or availability of our credit facilities or future borrowing sources, will not be materially impacted by market disruptions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as of the date of this annual report, we have experienced certain delays in our supply chain, production operations and material impacts on the demand for our products, as well as a cancellation of firm order of our Executive Aviation business unit and reschedules of our Commercial Aviation and Executive Aviation business units’ aircraft deliveries. We expect that our customers will continue to reschedule deliveries, fail to exercise options or continue to cancel firm orders as a result of potential economic downturns, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or financial volatility in the commercial airline industry. In addition, our risk-sharing partners’ cash contributions are refundable under certain limited circumstances and we may need to find replacement sources of capital.

As a result of COVID-19, as of the date of this annual report we have taken measures to preserve our cash flow, including (i) reductions in working hours and pay cuts; (ii) extension of payment terms relating to our suppliers, as described below under “5A. Operating Results—Current Conditions and Trends in our Industry—COVID-19”; (iii) extension of tax payment deadlines; (iv) negotiation of new credit lines; and (v) adjustment of our production chain.

Cash Flow Analysis

Net Cash Generated (Used) by Operating Activities and Adjusted Working Capital

2021 Compared with 2020

In 2021, net cash generated by operating activities was US$ 515.3 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of US$1,290.2 million in 2020. The improvement in the operating cash flows was mainly due to our higher net income, as compared to same period of 2020 and better management of our inventory, which improved working capital efficiency and contributed to less usage of cash when compared to the same period of 2020. Changes in operating assets and liabilities improved from a use of US$ 619.6 million as of December 31, 2020 to a generation of US$488.6 million as of December 31, 2021, excluding the cash used with financial investments of US$513.0 million and US$41.7 million, respectively driven by cash generated by working capital accounts (accounts receivable, inventories and trade account payables) of US$493.0 million in 2021 compared to cash used of US$306.0 million in 2020.

2020 Compared with 2019

For this discussion, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Overview—Net Cash Generated (Used) by Operating Activities and Adjusted Working Capital—2020 Compared with 2019” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 9, 2021.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

2021 Compared with 2020

Net cash used in investing activities changed from net cash used of US$105.3 million in 2020, to net cash used of US$131.6 million in 2021, mainly as a result of higher investments to develop intangible assets offset by higher inflow from sales of financial investments.

2020 Compared with 2019

For this discussion, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Overview—Net Cash Used in Investing Activities—2020 Compared with 2019” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 9, 2021.

Net Cash Generated (Used) by Financing Activities and Total Debt

2021 Compared with 2020

In 2020, net cash generated by financing activities was US$1,008.7 million, while in 2021 our net cash used from financing activities was US$430.6 million. This difference was mainly due to the issuance in 2020 of US$750.0 million in bonds maturing in 2028, of which US$250.0 million was used to prepay a portion of our outstanding bonds with maturities in 2022 and 2023. As of December 31, 2021, we had total debt (which we calculate as current and non-current loans and financing) of US$4,026.9 million, 85.7% of which was long-term debt and 14.3% of which was short-term debt.

2020 Compared with 2019

The above table shows the sum of the outstanding principal and anticipated interest due at maturity date. For fixed rate loans, the interest expenses were calculated based on the rate established in each debt contract. For floating rate loans, the interest expenses were calculated based on a market forecast for each period (LIBOR 6m – 12m), dated December 31, 2021. This floating rate exposure is managed through derivatives operations. For additional information on our derivative instruments, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

The above table does not reflect contractual commitments related to trade-in options and financial and residual value guarantees discussed in “—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.” For additional information on risks related to our guarantees, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—Some of our aircraft sales may be subject to financial and residual value guarantees and trade-in options that may require us to make significant cash disbursements.” Also, the table does not reflect our sponsorship in the defined contribution pension plan for our employees, participation in which is optional, and our participation, recognized as expense, is expected to be around US$14.4 million per year.

Other liabilities include taxes and payroll charges payable in the total amount of US$50.4 million as of December 31, 2021. The above table does not reflect any information related to our derivative instruments, which are discussed more fully in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Capital Expenditures

We capitalize our expenditures related to product development projects as non-current intangible assets on our statement of financial position when it is probable that the relevant projects will generate future benefits, taking into account their commercial and technological feasibility and availability of technological and financial resources and only if their cost can be reliably measured. We amortize the assets in the form of charges to cost of sales and services on our statements of income, based on the total estimated number of aircraft to be delivered for each new product development project. We also capitalize expenditures related to property, plant and equipment as non-current assets on our statement of financial position and depreciate the assets in the form of charges to cost of sales and services on our statements of income. For additional information on how we amortize our intangible assets and depreciate our property, plant and equipment, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Principal Operating Data and Components of Our Statement of Income—Cost of Sales and Services.”

75

In our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Services and Support business units, we include our investments in development and property, plant and equipment as part of our capital expenditures. Development costs in these business units are capitalized from the date of board approval for the relevant project until the final certification.

Most of our development expenditures are associated with the development of new products for the Commercial Aviation and Executive Aviation business units. For additional information on our development expenditures, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.—Research.”

Our main ongoing project in the Commercial Aviation business unit is the development of the E175-E2, the third member of the E-Jets E2 family, which also comprises the E190-E2 and E195-E2 aircraft. Our disbursements in capital expenditures were related to property, plant and equipment, thereby composing our additions in the period except for the exchange pool program assets and aircraft under lease or available for lease. These investments are related mainly to (i) construction of new facilities and (ii) improvements and modifications to our plants and production facilities for the production of new aircraft models.

We incur expenditures for our Defense and Security business unit under both development and production contracts; however, the customers involved in these programs, which in our case mainly consists of the Brazilian government, fund these programs. A significant part of these contracts is defined as construction contracts and the revenue associated with these contracts is realized on a percentage of completion basis, as contract milestones are achieved.

Our capital expenditures are generally financed by funds provided by operations, borrowings under our credit arrangements, cash contributions from risk-sharing partners, advance payments from customers and, to a lesser extent, capital increases to meet these needs. See “C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.—Capital Expenditures—Research.”

As of December 31, 2021, we recorded US$35.4 million in commitment for capital expenditure in our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Services and Support business units, net of US$3.9 million related to contracted capital expenditures from Defense & Security. The anticipated source of funds to satisfy such commitment will be from our cash generated in operating activities.

In August 2020, we entered into a working capital guarantee agreement with the Export-Import Bank of the United States in an aggregate principal amount of US$97.2 million, with a term of one year, which amount was disbursed in August 2020. This working capital and export financing has strengthened our cash position and guaranteed funding for our entire operational process, from production to product shipment for the export market. As of December 31, 2021, US$50.2 million was outstanding in the short-term, including principal and accrued interest. Interest is paid monthly.

On January 1, 2022, as a result of the partial spin-off of our wholly-owned subsidiary Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A., or Yaborã, whereby Yaborã transferred substantially all of its assets to Embraer, we amended the indentures governing the senior unsecured notes due 2022, 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2028 in order to (i) have Embraer substitute Yaborã as the issuer of the notes due 2022 and (ii) have Embraer substitute Yaborã as guarantor of the notes due 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2028. As a result, Yaborã was released from its obligations as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, of the notes. As this transaction was considered a common control transaction, there was no impacts on Embraer’s consolidated assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

On March 1, 2022, pursuant to a tender offer, we repurchased and cancelled US$59.2 million and US$228.6 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.150% senior unsecured notes due 2022 issued by Embraer S.A. and 5.696% senior unsecured notes due 2023 issued by Embraer Overseas Limited and guaranteed by Embraer S.A., respectively.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt, including our guaranteed notes due 2022, 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2028, through cash purchases, tender offers and/or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material, and notes repurchased may be canceled or resold, but will only be resold in compliance with applicable requirements or exemptions under the relevant securities laws.

77

We have various other long-term loans and credit agreements with aggregate outstanding borrowings of US$379.9 million as of December 31, 2021. For additional information on these financing arrangements, see Note 21 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Of our total indebtedness, US$300 million (mainly related to our financing with BNDES), are secured by security interests in real estate, machinery and equipment and bank guarantees, in the aggregate amount of US$301.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

We continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities in order to maintain a long-term indebtedness profile that supports and is aligned with business cycle. For additional information on our loans and financings, including currency and maturity breakdowns and breakdowns between fixed and floating rate debt, see Note 21 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of our business, we enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements, including financial and residual value guarantees, trade-in obligations and product warranty. We also have a number of swap transactions that are described in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” For a detailed description of our derivative instruments, see Note 36 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements. See also Note 8 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements for additional information on our off-balance sheet arrangements. In addition, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—Some of our aircraft sales may be subject to financial and residual value guarantees and trade-in options that may require us to make significant cash disbursements.”

Trade-in Obligations

We sometimes provide trade-in options to our customers in purchase agreements for new aircraft. These options provide customers with the right to trade in aircraft upon the purchase and acceptance of a new aircraft. The trade-in price for commercial aircraft is determined in the manner discussed under Note 3 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. In 2021, we accepted five aircraft, with a total invoiced value of US$30.4 million for trade-in pursuant to trade-in options. The trade-in price is determined based on the new aircraft sold, as well as other factors, including a market value assessment performed by independent third-party appraisers.

We continue to monitor all trade-in commitments to anticipate any adverse economic impact they may have on our financial condition. We may be required to accept trade-ins at prices that are slightly above the then-market price of the aircraft, which would result in financial loss for us when we resell the aircraft. Based on our current evaluation and on third-parties’ appraisals, we believe that any aircraft accepted in connection with trade-in commitments may be sold or leased in the market without significant profits or losses. For additional information on our guarantees, see Note 3 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Subsequent Events

Other than the events described in this annual report, no subsequent events have occurred after December 31, 2021. For further information, see Note 39 to our 2021 audited financial statements.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are driven by our corporate strategic planning in the short, medium, and long terms. We refer to research activities as technological development and to development activities as integrated product development.

78

Based on our work defining our product and services strategies, including innovation, growth, and business prospects, we carry out projects that include the production and commercialization of new aircraft, systems, and aerospace services.

With a focus on our internal business plans and continuous monitoring of the global technology environment, we define a technological development plan which aims to research and develop solutions to the main challenges we will face in the medium and long terms, in order to remain competitive in our business segments.

In an effort to reduce development risk and optimize financial results of our projects, our development strategy and teams have the essential skills to manage and execute multi-disciplinary projects, maintaining and coordinating a global network of development partners and integrating diverse groups such as universities, research and development institutes, companies, and startups. As a result, application of advanced technologies allows for the evolution of products, including lighter, quieter, more comfortable and energy efficient aircraft, in addition to improvements in design and production cycles and optimization of company resources.

Following the results of our internal technological development planning, the new product and services design phase begins. In this phase our efforts are coordinated in an integrated manner with advanced project engineering and our business units, which work in collaboration with future customers and potential partners to conclude the design of new products and services. Once the design is approved, the product development program is created. In this capital-intensive phase, our development, product, process and services groups work together with strategic partners, suppliers and regulatory agencies, to begin the detailed development of the product, its production, systems and associated services, until the effective entry into service of the product.

We have the majority of our research and development activities concentrated in Brazil, but also maintain internal initiatives and partnerships in several locations around the world.

We incur research expenses related to the creation of new technologies that may be applied to our aircraft. These expenses are not associated with any particular aircraft and include the implementation of quality assurance initiatives, improvements to the productivity of production lines and studies to determine the latest developments in technology and quality standards. Under IFRS, research costs are expensed as incurred in the research line item of our statement of income.

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property, which includes utility patents, design patents, trade secrets, know-how and trademarks, is important to our business. We hold trademarks over our name and symbol and the names of our products, some of which are registered and some of which are in the process of registration in a number of countries, including, but not limited to, Brazil, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, the European Union and Japan. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 566 trademarks registered or in the process of registration. Our trademarks are generally renewed at the end of their validity period, which usually runs for ten years from the date of application for registration. We do not believe that the loss of any of our trademarks would have a material impact on our business or results of operations.

We develop our intellectual property in our research, development and production process. Under the agreements we have with some of our suppliers and risk-sharing partners, we are granted access to information and technology necessary to better develop, manufacture and market our products. We aim to protect our intellectual property rights resulting from investments in technical research and development. We hold granted patents and patent applications relating to our technologies. Currently, we hold granted patents and patent applications from the appropriate registries in Brazil, the United States, the European Union, Russia, Japan, India and China in connection with the various technologies of our products. We require that our suppliers and risk-sharing partners respect the intellectual property rights of third parties, and we believe that we have the necessary intellectual property rights to conduct our business and operations.

79

Considering our utility and design patent portfolios, as of December 31, 2021, we had filed 787 patent applications and had been granted 586 patents.

Innovation

We seek to remain in the technological vanguard by constantly reinventing ourselves as we search for opportunities to transform our business, products, services, and markets aiming to a more sustainable future.

At the same time that it is necessary to compete, through consolidated technologies, in markets where efficiency and incremental improvements are valued as competitive differentials; it is also essential to be able to compete with distinction and relevance, through innovations and new technologies, and in new markets where flexibility, agility and experimentation are key to obtain competitive advantages. In this context, we set the balance between incremental, adjacent and transformational innovation.

We believe innovation is key to the competitiveness and continuous growth of our business. For this reason, we have created a vice-presidency dedicated to Corporate Innovation, Digital Transformation and New Business Development that reports directly to our chief executive officer and is responsible for our innovation strategy as a whole. In 2018, we also created the Innovation Verticals, which are our priorities themes in research, technology and innovation to accelerate business results, and which main purpose is to organize and prioritize innovation efforts and investments, activating the best power of a common, co-created corporate vision about business models, niches, technologies, future products, services and processes. The Innovation Verticals integrate our innovation efforts across all business units, affiliates, EmbraerX, as defined below, research and technology development, and other support areas.

Our current Innovation Verticals are: Zero Emission, Autonomous Flight, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Industry 4.0, Airframe Competitiveness, Platform Based Business, Passenger Experience and Cybersecurity.

One of the key contributors to our innovation strategy is EmbraerX, a market accelerator committed to the development of innovative solutions. Launched in 2017 as a disruptive business subsidiary of Embraer S.A., it has a presence in innovation hubs in Silicon Valley, Boston, the Florida Space Coast, and Europe, integrated with our core competencies in Brazil and worldwide. EmbraerX’s team of innovators, creators, thought leaders, and designers work in networks inside and outside Embraer through multiple partnerships and combines the vision of human-centered development with business and engineering expertise to tackle some of the biggest problems of humanity’s mobility.

In 2020, EmbraerX took an important step towards the development of the Urban Air Mobility, or UAM ecosystem with the launch of its first spin-off, Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions, Inc., or Eve, a new and independent company that takes a holistic approach to progress in the UAM sector, through an advanced vertical take-off and landing electric vehicle (eVTOL) project, a comprehensive global service and support network and a unique urban air traffic management solution.

On December 21, 2021, Eve UAM, LLC, or EVE, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a business combination agreement with Zanite Acquisition Corp., or Zanite, a special purpose acquisition company focused on the aviation sector. Upon the closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by the second quarter of 2022 and is subject to customary shareholders’ approval and conditions precedent, Zanite will change its name to Eve Holding, Inc., or Eve Holding, and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbols, “EVEX” and “EVEXW.” The transaction includes up to approximately US$237 million in cash from Zanite Acquisition Corp. and a US$305 million private investment in public equity deals (PIPE), anchored by Embraer S.A., Zanite Sponsor LLC, financial investors and a consortium of leading strategic partners.

In 2021, EmbraerX also made significant progress in the growth of Beacon, announcing some contracts in the United States and Europe, with a special highlight to the multiyear contract with Republic airways to support its full operations. Beacon is the digital platform designed to transform the aviation aftermarket dynamics by enabling seamless connection of all stakeholders involved in the aircraft return-to-service activities, saving significant cost and time for the operators and service suppliers.

The Research and Technology (R&T) department is constantly monitoring the global technological environment and is developing the readiness of new technologies that will enable us to maintain our competitiveness and to achieve our vision of the future.

To strengthen the capability of pre-competitive aeronautical research activities in Brazil and other countries, Embraer has been working with different R&T organizations worldwide, covering a very broad spectrum of technologies. The operational model usually adopted by Embraer and these R&T organizations is based on a scope definition and agreement of multi-year high-quality research cooperation contracts.

Some R&T projects are developed in cooperation with reference universities and research centers in Brazil and abroad, including Instituto Tecnológico da Aeronáutica, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Serviço Nacional da Aprendizagem Industrial, Instituto Nacional de Telecomunicações, Centro de Referência em Tecnologias Inovadoras, Centro de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais, Fundação CPqD, Bristol University, Michigan University, Chalmers University, Liège University, Stuttgart University, Twente University, Delft University of Technology, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, Inesc Tec, NLR, Fraunhofer IBP, Tu Delft, National Institute of Aerospace, Politécnico Di Torino, DLR, ETW, DLR, GKN, Honeywell, Liebherr, Collins Aerospace, Intelligent Vision Systems, Rosemount, Infineon Technologies Ag, Deep Blue SRL and GMV.

In the period from 2019 through 2021, we entered into collaborative research agreements with 46 entities in areas such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (including H2), Electrification, Autonomy, Flight Safety, Aircraft Condition-Based Maintenance, Aircraft Design, New Materials & Structures, Noise Reduction, Airborne Systems, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence & Data Sciences and Flexible Manufacturing Solutions.

We expect to keep and strengthen our relationship with the most relevant R&T organizations, and to become their best industrial partner in terms of aeronautical research, fostering a sustainable future for the aviation industry.

Another front of our innovation strategy is corporate venture capital, or CVC. CVC is an approach that allows investment in adjacent and transformational initiatives, with risk-sharing and resource leverage. Besides, such investments are executed faster and at a lower experimental capital expenditure. In 2014 we started the operation of the first Embraer CVC fund, the FIP Aeroespacial, bringing three institutional investors in addition to Embraer, BNDES, FINEP and Desenvolve SP, under a limited partner investment structure. In 2018, the Silicon Valley-based fund Catapult Ventures was included in the strategy to cover the United States, creating a global indirect fund to commit to venture capital, the Embraer Ventures.

In July 2020, we entered into a contract for a majority investment in the Brazilian security intelligence firm Tempest, one of the original invested companies in the FIP Aeroespacial. The largest cybersecurity company in Brazil, Tempest positions itself as a provider of complete solutions for business protection in the digital world. With offices in Recife, São Paulo, and London, it serves more than 300 clients in Brazil, Latin America, and Europe.

Besides our CVC strategy, another way to interact with startups is our tailor-made smart procurement process targeted at small innovative co mpanies. Embraer Startup Program is an agile process of hiring plug & play services and solutions aiming at operational efficiency and its simplification, acceleration of digitalization throughout the company, empowerment of the areas fomenting a fail-fast culture pro-innovation and promote Embraer’s visibility in major ecosystems. The program is open to any and all employees who are willing to look for innovative and disruptive solutions in the startup ecosystem. Also, it enhances cultural values such as giving the opportunity to the employees to be in contact with new technologies and, at the same time, elevate our technological pillars. Since its creation in 2017, we have hired

81

startups that use artificial intelligence, machine learning to increase efficiency and solve problems in recruiting new employees. In line with the Innovation Verticals, the program hired some startups to assist in autonomous flight tests, and taking into account the diversity and inclusion agenda, we had the opportunity to hire a startup that recruited and provided training for people with physical disabilities so that they would be prepared to work in some areas at Embraer, among others.

We also have the Innova Program, which is another tool that aims to strengthen the innovation culture within Embraer. The Innova Program manages the Green Light, Innova Challenge, as defined below, and promote cultural events across the company. The Green Light is our entrepreneurship program that evaluates innovative proposals presented voluntarily by employees and provides time, technical and business mentoring, and resources for them to carry out the idea until its technical and economic feasibility is proven. The FIP Aeroespacial itself is one example of an implemented project through the Green Light program. In 2021, 48 innovative projects were under development. The Innova Challenge is an internal crowdsourcing mechanism that stimulates ideas to solve issues globally from different departments of the company, and any employee in the world may participate in this process. Cultural events like the Innovation Day in 2021 had the participation of more than 2,000 employees.

With respect to our digital transformation, our current strategy is to accelerate the development of solutions to our clients and strengthen intelligence and efficiency to corporate and business areas of the company. In addition, we aim to increase operational efficiency in processes through digital solutions. Some examples of digital products are software with artificial intelligence for sales, for selecting the purchase proposals, legal processes, digital inventory management system and new data-based services to aircraft operators, among others. In order to accelerate digital transformation by increasing human capital aligned to our strategy, we launched two new entry programs: (i) Software Specialization Program in partnership with the Federal University of Pernambuco and (ii) Social Tech program, in partnership with International Gas Turbine Institute (“GTI”), to attract and select candidates with disabilities to get trained and allocated at Embraer. More than 250 people were already trained at Social Tech.

We are convinced that building and maintaining a strong culture of innovation in an organization dramatically enhances the development of new ideas for improvements, new products, innovative services, and new businesses. Innovations related to programs from our operations that entered into service in the last five years accounted for 51.2% of our net revenues in 2021.

D. Trend Information

General Information

Our total firm order backlog as of December 31, 2021 was US$17.0 billion, of which US$9.0 billion was from the Commercial Aviation business unit, US$2.9 billion was from the Executive Aviation business unit, US$2.7 billion was from the Defense and Security business unit and US$2.4 billion was from the Services and Support business unit. Our total firm order backlog as of December 31, 2020 was US$14.4 billion, of which US$7.6 billion was from the Commercial Aviation business unit, US$1.2 billion was from the Executive Aviation business unit, US$3.6 billion was from the Defense and Security business unit and US$2.0 billion was from the Services and Support business unit. Our total firm order backlog as of December 31, 2019 was US$16.8 billion, of which US$9.0 billion was from the Commercial Aviation business unit, US$1.4 billion was from the Executive Aviation business unit, US$4.1 billion was from the Defense and Security business unit and US$2.2 billion was from the Services and Support business unit. Economic uncertainty, mainly related to the COVID-19 outbreak, will continue to play a role in investment attitude and philosophy of the private and public sectors. Business jet prospective buyers around the globe are reviewing their cash flows and capital expenditures in order to preserve capital, which is affecting market growth fundamentals and perspectives.

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we expect the global economy will remain in an uncertain scenario affecting the decision-making process of companies’ boards of directors and investors, and their will to allocate resources in executive transportation alternatives, mainly when deciding on discretionary asset acquisitions, such as purchasing a new business jet.

82

In our Commercial Aviation business unit, we expect that traffic disruption and decreased demand affecting our customer’s operations globally may continue to materially affect our deliveries in 2022. According to Cirium, as of December 31, 2021, approximately one fourth of the global fleet was in storage. We are in ongoing discussions and negotiations with certain of our customers as a result of developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some customers have rescheduled aircraft deliveries for 2022 and beyond, which has affected our deliveries for 2021, but, as of the date of this annual report, no aircraft order has been cancelled.

The recovery pace is difficult to predict since this outbreak has no precedent in history. As per our most recent Market Outlook, we expected global demand to comeback to 2019 levels by 2024. Until then, it is hard to determine the impact of the COVID-19 on our business, but we expect that some customers may continue to postpone their scheduled aircraft deliveries and may cancel certain of their orders. In the Executive Aviation business unit, the recent growth of high-net-worth individuals demanding private and business aviation services and aircraft, associated to a record low inventory level of pre-owned aircraft will continue to influence the demand for brand new aircraft and will foster the recovery of this business unit to delivery levels it had prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. We also expect that our new product offerings, namely the Praetor 500 midsize jet and Praetor 600 super midsize jet, and the upgrades made on the Phenom 300E, will continue to offset the effects of COVID-19 and help us to be in a better position in the business jet market.

With respect to our Defense and Security business unit, we expect an increase in global defense spending in light of intensified international tensions and ongoing insurgencies threats in some countries. In this scenario, with our comprehensive product portfolio and customers in key countries, we are well positioned to provide key customized solutions, creating sales opportunities for our Defense and Security segment, especially in the areas of critical software, communications, sensors and platforms in all environments (air, sea, land, space and cybersecurity).

In relation to our Services and Support business unit, we expect that all segments associated with this business unit continue progressing to either recover pre-pandemic business volumes (similar to the Commercial Aviation business unit) or to maintain business activities without presenting significative losses associated to pre-pandemic volumes (as it is the case with Defense and Executive segments). Although, in 2021, we were able to properly support customer needs, convert commercial opportunities into new businesses, and to renew contracts, we cannot assure you that these positive trends will continue in the future.

On March 9, 2022, we released our projections for 2022, including a deliveries range of 60 to 70 aircraft in the Commercial Aviation business unit and a range of 100 to 110 aircraft in the Executive Aviation business unit.

The objectives of our Long-Term Incentive Plan are the recruitment and retention of highly qualified personnel and to allow those who can contribute to our performance the opportunity to participate in our profits. Incentives under the plan are intended to promote continuity among our management and alignment of the interests between our executives and shareholders. Amounts distributed are defined with reference to the market, under the conditions described in our Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Short-Term Variable Compensation Policy

Our Short-Term Variable Compensation Policy is designed to promote the retention of executives and alignment of their interests with those of shareholders. Goals with greater impact and importance for our company are given greater weight.

Employee Profit-Sharing Plan

We first implemented a profit-sharing plan in 1998 that linked employee profit sharing to dividend payments. In 2020, we approved a new profit-sharing plan that linked employee profit sharing, as a percentage of the employee’s monthly wage, to the achievement of corporate targets, such as free cash flow and operating margin.

For the 2021, 2020 and 2019 fiscal years, we distributed US$10.7 million, US$9.0 million and US$ 18.6 million to our employees under our profit-sharing plan.

Defined Contribution Pension Plan

We sponsor a defined contribution pension plan for employees and the participation in this plan is optional. The plan is managed by EMBRAER PREV – Sociedade de Previdência Complementar. Contributions made by us to this plan in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were US$12.0 million, US$12.3 million and US$19.0 million, respectively. For additional information on our post-retirement benefits, see Note 26.5.2 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Risk management studies are performed annually to identify the future exposure to be recorded as a provision. The provision recorded of medical benefits plan in Brazil was US$36.5 million as of December 31, 2021, US$24.7 million as of December 31, 2020, US$27.3 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase observed in 2021 is related to remeasurement of the plan based on updated actuarial assumptions and increase of inflation associated with healthcare.

The actuarial methods used comply with the generally accepted actuarial methods in force, in accordance with the projected unit credit method.

94

D&O Insurance

We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount of US$50.0 million. This insurance covers liabilities resulting from wrongful acts, including any act or omission committed or attempted by any officer or director acting in his or her capacity as officer or director or any matter claimed against an officer or director solely due to his or her serving in such capacity.

According to our by-laws, we may enter into agreements with, or approve indemnity policies covering the members of our board of directors, fiscal council, board of executive officers and our committees or of our controlled companies, as well as certain of our employees or of our controlled companies, for whom we agree to bear or reimburse certain expenses, costs and damages effectively incurred by the beneficiaries, during or after the period of their relationship with us, related to arbitration, judicial or administrative proceedings, involving acts practiced in carrying out the beneficiaries’ duties, from the date of their investiture or beginning of the employment relationship with us, as applicable.

C. Board Practices

Our board of directors is appointed for a two-year term. See “—A. Directors and Senior Management—Board of Directors.”

The current executive officers were elected by the board of directors, with a term of office lasting until the meeting of our board of directors to be held following the annual general meeting of our shareholders in 2023 to approve our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The members of our board of directors and our executive officers have a uniform two-year term and are eligible for reelection. A vote of at least seven members of our board of directors is necessary to remove an executive officer. See “6A. Directors and Senior Management—Executive Officers.”

None of our directors is party to an employment agreement providing for benefits upon termination of term. All of our executive officers are party to a service agreement setting forth the rights and obligations of the executive officers.

Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee

Our Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee has no executive power and must have at least three and up to five members, of which (i) the majority of its members must be independent members of the board of directors, (ii) at least one must be an external member, pursuant to our bylaws, (iii) at least one must have acknowledged experience in corporate accounting matters, and (iv) one member must be an independent member of the board of directors with acknowledged experience in corporate accounting matters, or an external member with acknowledged experience in corporate accounting matters. The primary purpose of the Audit Risks and Ethics Committee is to assist the board of directors. The Audit Risks and Ethics Committee’s responsibilities include validation and submission to the board of directors of guidelines for risk policy, verification of risk management policy compliance, supervision of activities performed by our independent auditors and monitoring the quality and integrity of internal controls and financial statements. Our Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee is currently composed of three independent members of our board of directors and two external members.

Foreign private issuers are subject to local legislation which may prohibit the board of directors from delegating certain responsibilities to the audit committee, pursuant to Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Audit committees of foreign private issuers may be granted responsibilities, including advisory powers, with respect to certain matters to the extent permitted by law. Due to certain restrictions imposed by the Brazilian Corporate Law, our Audit Risks and Ethics Committee, unlike a U.S. audit committee, only has an “advisory” role and may only make recommendations for adoption by the full board of directors, which is responsible for the ultimate vote and final decision. For example, our Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee makes recommendations regarding the appointment of auditing firms, which are subject to a vote by the board of directors. Our Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee complies with Brazilian legal requirements (including for “independent directors,” as defined by Brazilian law).

Fiscal Council

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, the fiscal council is a corporate body independent of management and a company’s external auditors. The fiscal council has not typically been equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee. The primary responsibility of the fiscal council has been to monitor management’s activities, review the financial statements, and report its findings to the shareholders. In our case, our statutory audit, risks and ethics committee, established in accordance with the Novo Mercado Listing Rules, will serve as the equivalent of a U.S. audit committee. For additional information on our committees, see “—A. Directors and Senior Management—Committees.”

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, the fiscal council may not have members who are members of the board of directors or the executive committee, or who are our employees or employees of a controlled company or of a company of this group, or a spouse or relative of any member of our management. In addition, the Brazilian Corporate Law requires that fiscal council members receive a remuneration of at least 10% of the average amount paid to each executive officer. The Brazilian Corporate Law requires a fiscal council to be composed of a minimum of three and a maximum of five members and their respective alternates.

Our fiscal council is composed of three to five members who are elected at the annual shareholders’ meeting, with terms lasting until the next annual shareholders’ meeting after their election. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, if a company acquires control of another company, minority shareholders that in the aggregate hold at least 10% of the voting shares also have the right to elect separately one member of the fiscal council. This provision will not be applicable to us as long as we are subject to widespread control. Set forth below are the names, ages, the year first elected and positions of the members of our fiscal council and respective alternates, elected at our annual shareholders’ meeting held on April 26, 2021.

98

Embraer fully supports the choice of union association of its employees. In Brazil, 5.6% of our employees are unionized, and, according to Brazilian labor laws, salary readjustments and other clauses negotiated in collective bargaining agreements extend to the entire category, resulting in 100% employees covered by clauses negotiated in these agreements.

We actively support the training and professional development of our employees. We have established a program at our facility in the city of São José dos Campos to provide newly graduated engineers with specialized training in aerospace engineering.

E. Share Ownership

As of December 31, 2021, our board members owned 44,600 of our common shares and our executive officers did not own any of our common shares.

Item 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. Major Shareholders

Shareholders

As of the date of this annual report, we have a total authorized capital of 1,000,000,000 shares, of which 740,465,044 common shares were issued, including one special “golden share” held by the Brazilian government. The golden share provides the Brazilian government with veto rights in certain specific circumstances. In addition, non-Brazilian shareholders may have their voting rights restricted in certain specific circumstances. For additional information on the voting rights of our common shares, see “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Voting Rights of Shares.”

The table below sets forth information related to the number of shares held by our significant shareholders, as of December 31, 2021, in accordance with the most recent shareholder position information provided to us:

	Common Shares
	Shares(1)		(%)
Brandes Investment Partners, L.P.(2)		112,071,399		15.14
BNDES Participações S.A.—BNDESPAR(3)		39,762,489		5.37
União Federal/Brazilian government(4)		1		0.0

(3) BNDESPAR is a wholly owned subsidiary of Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES, the government-owned national development bank of Brazil.

(4) The Brazilian government holds our “golden share.”

There have been no significant changes in percentage ownership by any major shareholder in the past three years. On December 31, 2021, we had approximately 98,814 holders of common shares, including common shares in the form of ADSs. On December 31, 2021, an aggregate of 94,342,163 ADSs were held by 151 record holders, including DTC in the United States.

B. Related-Party Transactions

The Brazilian Government

The Brazilian government, through its direct and indirect stakes in us and its ownership of our “golden share,” is one of our major shareholders. The issuance of the “golden share” was a requirement of the regulations governing our privatization in 1994 and grants the Brazilian government veto rights over certain military-related programs and corporate actions (including transfers of control and changes in our name, logo and corporate purpose). For additional information on the voting rights of our golden share, see “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Voting Rights of Shares—Golden Share.” As of December 31, 2021, in addition to the “golden share,” the Brazilian government owned an indirect 5.37% stake in us through BNDESPAR, a wholly owned subsidiary of BNDES, which, in turn, is controlled by the Brazilian government. As a result, for the purposes of this annual report’s disclosure requirements, we consider transactions between Embraer and the Brazilian government or its agencies as falling within the definition of “related-party transactions.”

100

The Brazilian government plays an important role in our business activities, including as:

• a major customer of our defense products, through the Brazilian Air Force;

• a source for research debt financing through technology development institutions, including FINEP and BNDES;

• an export credit agency, through BNDES; and

• a source of short-term and long-term financing and a provider of asset management and commercial banking services, through Banco do Brasil.

For additional information on the role of the Brazilian government in our business activities, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities and Lines of Credit,” “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Aircraft Financing Arrangements,” “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—Any decrease in Brazilian government-sponsored customer financing or increase in government-sponsored financing that benefits our competitors, may decrease the cost competitiveness of our aircraft” and “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—Any decrease in Brazilian government-sponsored customer financing or increases in government sponsored financing that benefits our competitors, may decrease the competitiveness of our aircraft.” For additional information regarding our related-party transactions, see Note 14.1 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

A Major Customer (Brazilian Government)

The Brazilian government, mainly through the Brazilian Air Force, has been a significant customer of Embraer since its inception. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Brazilian government, again mainly through the Brazilian Air Force, accounted for 40.7% or US$241.9 million of the revenue of our Defense and Security business. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, we had US$410.3 million in contract assets and US$153.2 million in contract liabilities in connection with the Brazilian Air Force. We expect to continue to be the primary source of new aircraft and spare parts and services for the Brazilian government. For a description of our transactions with the Brazilian government, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Defense and Security Business.”

Financing Source

FINEP

We maintain credit facilities with FINEP, which as of December 31, 2021, had a total outstanding balance of US$14.1 million. These loans were extended to us primarily to fund research and development expenses of the Phenom 100 and 300 aircraft and the Legacy 500 aircraft. For additional information on the amounts, maturity dates and interest rates of the principal loans we have with FINEP, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities and Lines of Credit.”

BNDES

The Brazilian government has been an important source of export financing for our customers through the BNDES-Exim program, managed by BNDES. For additional information on our aircraft financing arrangements, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Aircraft Financing Arrangements.”

We also entered into credit working capital and export financing agreements with BNDES, which as of December 31, 2021, had a total outstanding balance of US$301.9 million. For additional information on the amounts, maturity dates and interest rates of these agreements, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities and Lines of Credit.”

101

A Service Provider (Banco do Brasil)

As of December 31, 2021, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of US$46.1 million with Banco do Brasil and several of its affiliates. Banco do Brasil has been a provider of regular commercial banking and asset management services to us for many decades and is one of the banks responsible for the payment of our payroll expense. These services include maintaining our checking account.

As of December 31, 2021, R$75.2 million of our cash, cash equivalents and financial investments were indexed to the variation of the CDI rate.

Item 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

See to “Item 18. Financial Statements” for our consolidated financial statements and report of our independent registered public accounting firm included elsewhere in this annual report.

Legal Proceedings

Arbitration Proceedings

On January 24, 2019, we entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “MTA” or “Master Transaction Agreement”) and certain other transaction documents with Boeing and certain subsidiaries of Embraer or Boeing, which were wrongfully terminated by Boeing, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Boeing would acquire a controlling stake in Embraer’s Commercial Aviation business unit and Embraer, or a subsidiary of Embraer, and Boeing, or a subsidiary of Boeing, would form a joint venture for the promotion and development of new markets and applications for the C-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft.

On January 1, 2020, we implemented the internal carve-out of our Commercial Aviation business unit by means of the contribution by Embraer to Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A. (“Yaborã”) of the net assets comprising assets, liabilities, properties, rights and obligations (subject to certain exceptions) related to our Commercial Aviation business unit, through a capital increase.

On April 25, 2020, we received a notice from Boeing communicating its decision to terminate the Master Transaction Agreement, based on Boeing’s assertion that certain closing conditions in the MTA had not been satisfied by Embraer by the April 24, 2020 termination date in the MTA. In addition, Boeing terminated the Contribution Agreement. Embraer strongly believes that Embraer was in full compliance with its obligations under the MTA and the Contribution Agreement and Boeing wrongfully terminated the MTA and the Contribution Agreement, that Boeing was under an obligation to continue to comply with the terms of the MTA and the Contribution Agreement and that our pending arbitration proceedings against Boeing and its affiliates are a valid enforcement of our rights under the MTA and the Contribution Agreement. Such dispute with respect to the termination of the MTA and/or the Contribution Agreement has been submitted by each of Boeing and Embraer to separate arbitration proceedings that are currently ongoing. These arbitration proceedings have been consolidated into a single arbitration proceeding.

For risks relating to the termination of the Boeing Transaction, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Embraer—Legal proceedings pertaining to the now-terminated strategic partnership with Boeing, including arbitration proceedings related to Boeing’s termination of and failure to close the MTA and/or the Contribution Agreement, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

102

Labor Lawsuits

We are defendants in individual labor lawsuits, for which we are awaiting the decision of the Brazilian labor courts. Due to the immaterial amount involved in these legal proceedings, we do not believe that any liabilities related to these individual labor lawsuits would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. For a further discussion of our labor lawsuits, see Note 26 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Tax Matters

We have challenged the constitutionality of certain Brazilian taxes and payroll charges, as well as modifications to and increases in the rates and basis of calculation of those taxes and charges and have obtained writs of mandamus or injunctions to avoid their payment or recover past payments. In 2007, we also received a notice of infraction (autos de infração) relating to the taxation of profits received from our foreign subsidiaries, which is still under discussion. For a further discussion of our tax lawsuits, see Notes 23 and 26 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Interest on the total amount of unpaid taxes and payroll charges accrues monthly based on the SELIC rate, which is the key lending rate of the Brazilian Central Bank, and, accordingly, we make an accrual to the interest income (expenses), net line item on our statements of income. As of December 31, 2021, there was a US$53.7 million provision recorded as a liability (taxes, labor and civil related) on our statement of financial position in connection with litigation contingencies that we classify as representing probable losses to us. For a further discussion of these challenges, see Note 26 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

SEC/DOJ and Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Investigations

In October 2016, we entered into definitive agreements with the United States and Brazilian authorities for the resolution of criminal and civil violations of the United States (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or FCPA) and for the resolution of allegations regarding violations of certain Brazilian laws in four aircraft transactions outside Brazil between 2007 and 2011. In February 2017, we entered into an Exoneration Agreement with the Mozambican authorities for collaboration with the investigations in that country and under which there are no financial obligations for Embraer. In July 2018, we and the Attorney General’s Office of the Dominican Republic entered into a collaboration agreement whereby we undertook to collaborate with the investigations in that country.

We are aware that several individuals and entities are defendants in a criminal case in India related to the sale by Embraer of three aircraft AEW EMB-145 to the Indian Defense Research & Development Organization. Such transaction has been investigated and its results, among the results of three other transactions, have been the subject of a settlement agreement between Embraer and the Brazilian and U.S. authorities in 2016. Embraer S.A. and ECC Investment Switzerland AG have been served in November 2021. To date, we believe that there is no adequate basis for estimating provisions or quantifying possible contingencies related to other procedures and developments mentioned herein.

Other Proceedings

In addition, we are involved in other legal proceedings, all of which are in the ordinary course of business.

Our management does not believe that any of our proceedings, if adversely determined, would materially or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. For additional information on our legal proceedings, see Notes 26.1.1 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

103

Dividends and Dividend Policy

Amounts Available for Distribution

At each annual shareholders’ meeting, the board of directors is required to recommend how net profits for the preceding fiscal year are to be allocated. For purposes of the Brazilian Corporate Law, net profits are defined as net income after income taxes and social contribution taxes for the fiscal year, net of any accumulated losses from prior fiscal years and any amounts allocated to employees’ and management’s participation in our profits, determined under IFRS. In accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws, the amounts available for dividend distribution are the amounts determined under IFRS in our parent company financial statements. The amount for distribution is equal to our net income after taxes less (or plus):

• any amounts allocated from the net income after taxes to the legal reserve, and

• any amounts allocated from the net income after taxes to a contingency reserve for anticipated losses or the reversion of the reserve constituted on previous fiscal years.

We are required to maintain a legal reserve to which we must allocate 5% of net profits for each fiscal year until the amount of the legal reserve equals 20% of our capital stock. However, we are not required to make any allocations to our legal reserve in respect of any fiscal year in which the legal reserve, when added to our other established capital reserves, exceeds 30% of our capital stock. Net losses, if any, may be charged against the legal reserve. The balance of our legal reserve was US$204.4 million, which was equal to 13% of our capital stock as of December 31, 2021.

The Brazilian Corporate Law also provides for two additional, discretionary allocations of net profits that are subject to approval by the shareholders at the annual meeting. First, a percentage of net profits may be allocated to a contingency reserve for anticipated losses that are deemed probable in future years. Any amount so allocated in a prior year must be either reversed in the fiscal year for which the anticipated loss was forecast if the loss does not in fact occur, or written off in the event that the anticipated loss occurs. Second, the amount for distribution may be limited to the fiscal year’s net profit already realized, and the difference between the amounts shall be allocated to an unrealized revenue reserve. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, unrealized revenue is defined as the sum of:

• price-level restatement of statement of financial position accounts;

• the share of equity earnings of affiliated companies; and

• profits from installment sales to be received after the end of the next succeeding fiscal year.

According to our bylaws and subject to shareholder approval, our board of directors may allocate to an investment and working capital reserve up to 75% of our parent company adjusted net income after taxes under IFRS. The reserve may not exceed 80% of our capital stock. The purpose of the investment and working capital reserve is to make investments in fixed assets or increase our working capital. The balance of the investment and working capital reserve may be used:

• in the deduction of accumulated losses, whenever necessary;

• in the distribution of dividends, at any time;

• in the redemption, withdrawal, purchase or open market repurchase of shares, as authorized by law; and

• to increase our capital, including by means of an issuance of new shares.

104

We may also grant a participation in our net income to our management and employees. However, the allocation to the investment and working capital reserve or the participation of our management and employees cannot reduce the mandatory distributable amount, as discussed below.

Otherwise, the reserved amounts, except for the contingency reserve and the unrealized revenue reserve that exceeds our capital stock, must be used to increase our capital or be distributed as a cash dividend.

The amounts available for distribution may be further increased by a reversion of the contingency reserve for anticipated losses constituted in prior years but not realized, or further increased or reduced as a result of the allocations of revenues to or from the unrealized revenue reserve. The amounts available for distribution are determined on the basis of financial statements prepared in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law method. We have not established a contingency reserve.

As of December 31, 2021, accumulated retained earnings of US$1,048.1 million were recorded in our statutory parent company books under IFRS. In 2021, we had identified and corrected an adjustment of US$31.6 million reducing retained earnings due to revision of prior year financial statements, as disclosed in Note 2.1.5 of our audited consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, the amounts are net of minimum dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity paid or payable, as determined by the Brazilian Corporate Law.

For additional information, see Note 28 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Mandatory Distribution

The Brazilian Corporate Law generally requires that the bylaws of each Brazilian corporation specify a minimum percentage of the amounts available for distribution by the corporation for each fiscal year that dividends must be distributed to shareholders, also known as the mandatory distributable amount. Under our bylaws, the mandatory distribution is based on a percentage of adjusted net income, not lower than 25%, and not on a fixed monetary amount per share. The Brazilian Corporate Law, however, permits a publicly held company to suspend the mandatory distribution of dividends if the board of directors and fiscal council report presented at the shareholders’ meeting indicate that the distribution would be inadvisable in view of Embraer’s financial condition. This suspension is subject to approval of holders of common shares. In this case, the board of directors shall file a justification for the suspension with the CVM. Profits not distributed by virtue of the suspension will be attributed to a special reserve and, if not absorbed by subsequent losses, will be paid as dividends as soon as the financial condition of the corporation permits the payments.

Payment of Dividends

We are required by the Brazilian Corporate Law and by our bylaws to hold an annual shareholders’ meeting by the end of the fourth month after the end of each fiscal year at which, among other things, the shareholders have to decide on the payment of an annual dividend. The payment of annual dividends is based on our parent company financial statements prepared under IFRS for the relevant fiscal year. Brazilian companies, including us, are permitted to make a special distribution to shareholders referred to as interest on shareholders’ equity, which may be distributed cumulatively or in lieu of dividends as part of the mandatory distributable amount. Subject to certain limitations set forth by legislation, distribution of interest on shareholders’ equity can be treated as a tax-deductible expense for IRPJ and CSLL purposes. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, dividends generally are required to be paid within 60 days following the date the dividend was declared, unless a shareholders’ resolution sets forth another date of payment, which, in either case, must occur prior to the end of the fiscal year in which the dividend was declared. A shareholder has a three-year period from the dividend payment date to claim dividends (or payments of interest on shareholders’ equity) in respect of its shares, after which the amount of the unclaimed dividends reverts to the Company.

105

The Brazilian Corporate Law allows a company to pay interim dividends out of preexisting and accumulated profits determined under IFRS for the preceding fiscal year or semester, based on financial statements approved by its shareholders. According to our bylaws, the shareholders may declare, at any time, interim dividends based on the preexisting and accumulated profits, provided that the mandatory dividend has already been distributed to the shareholders. Our bylaws also permit us to prepare financial statements semiannually and for shorter periods. Our board of directors may approve the distribution of dividends calculated with reference to those financial statements, even before they have been approved by the shareholders. However, the dividends cannot exceed the amount of capital reserves.

In general, shareholders who are not residents of Brazil must register with the Central Bank to have dividends, sales proceeds or other amounts with respect to their shares eligible to be remitted outside of Brazil. The common shares underlying our ADSs will be held in Brazil by Banco Itaú S.A., also known as the custodian, as agent for the depositary, which will be the registered owner on the records of the registrar for our shares. Our current registrar is Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. The depositary electronically registers the common shares underlying our ADSs with the Central Bank and, therefore, is able to have dividends, sales proceeds or other amounts with respect to these shares eligible to be remitted outside Brazil.

Payments of cash dividends and distributions, if any, will be made in Brazilian currency to the custodian on behalf of the depositary, which will then convert the proceeds into U.S. dollars and will cause the U.S. dollars to be delivered to the depositary for distribution to holders of ADSs. Under current Brazilian law, dividends paid to shareholders who are not Brazilian residents, including the holders of ADSs, will not be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax, except for dividends declared based on profits generated prior to December 31, 1995. For additional information on Brazilian taxes, see “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material Brazilian Tax Consequences.”

History of Dividend and Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Payments and Dividend Policy

Law No. 9,249, dated December 26, 1995, as amended, provides for distribution of interest on shareholders’ equity as an alternative form of payment to shareholders and treats those payments as a deductible expense for purposes of calculating Brazilian corporate income tax and social contribution on net profits. These distributions may be paid in cash. The interest is limited to the daily pro rata variation of the TJLP (long term interest rate) and cannot exceed the greater of:

• 50% of net income (after the deduction of social contribution on net profits, but before taking into account the provision for corporate income tax and the amounts attributable to shareholders as net interest on shareholders’ equity) for the period in respect of which the payment is made; or

• 50% of the sum of retained profits and profit reserves as of the beginning of the period in respect of which the payment is made.

Any payment of interest on shareholders’ equity to holders of ADSs or common shares, whether or not they are Brazilian residents, is subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at the rate of 15% or 25% if the beneficiary is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction, that is, a country or location that does not impose any income tax or which imposes the tax at a maximum rate of less than 20%, or in which the domestic legislation imposes restrictions on the disclosure of the shareholding composition or the ownership of the investment. For additional information on Brazilian taxes, see “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material Brazilian Tax Consequences.” The amount paid to shareholders as interest on shareholders’ equity, net of any withholding tax, may be included as part of any mandatory distributable amount.

Under Brazilian law, we are obligated to distribute to shareholders an amount sufficient to ensure that the net amount received by them, after payment by us of applicable Brazilian withholding taxes in respect of the distribution of interest on shareholders’ equity, plus the amount of declared dividends, is at least equal to the mandatory distributable amount. When we distribute interest on shareholders’ equity, and that distribution is not accounted for as part of the mandatory distribution, Brazilian withholding tax will apply. All payments to date were accounted for as part of the mandatory distribution.

106

The following table sets forth the historical payments of dividends and historical payments of interest on shareholders’ equity we have made to our shareholders. We have not made any payments in 2020 and 2021.

(1) Translated from nominal reais into U.S. dollars at the selling exchange rates in effect on the last date of the month in which the dividends were approved.

(2) Represents interest on shareholders’ equity.

(3) Represents dividend payments.

(4) Amount declared in 2017 but paid in 2018.

(5) Amount declared in 2018 but paid in 2019.

No dividends nor interest on shareholders’ equity were approved for 2019, 2020 and 2021. In 2019, 2020 and 2021, we did not distribute interest on shareholders’ equity and interim dividends. In 2018, we distributed US$11.9 million in interest on shareholders’ equity and interim dividends approved by Statutory Board of Directors in connection with shareholders’ equity reserves. In 2017, we distributed US$47.3 million in interest on shareholders’ equity in connection with profits generated in the year ended December 31, 2017. For additional information on mandatory distribution of dividends, see “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividends and Dividend Policy—Mandatory Distribution.”

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Since we are established and domiciled in Brazil, the components of our shareholders’ equity are required under Brazilian Corporate Law to be measured accounted and maintained in Brazilian reais, including amounts to be distributed to shareholders (dividends and interest on own capital). Such a requirement is different from our original accounting records in its functional currency, which is prepared and maintained in historical U.S. dollars. Net earnings or losses incurred by us at the end of each fiscal year in U.S. dollars are translated to Brazilian reais for Corporate Law accounting purposes at average exchange rate observed for that period, and then distributed, retained or absorbed by the statutory reserves. We file audited consolidated financial statements in Brazil (translated to Brazilian reais based on requirements of IAS 21), which discloses the components of shareholders’ equity accounted as required by the Brazilian Corporate Law.

As of January 1, 2020, we had retained earnings recorded in the statutory reserves in the historical amount of US$2,110.0 million, out of which US$1,856.7 million would be available for distribution under our by-laws. These components in historical reais as at January 1, 2020 were R$2,595.4 million and R$2,058.2 million, respectively. Mainly as a result of losses incurred in 2020 of US$731.9 million, the statutory reserves reduced to US$1,377.8 million, however in reais the reserves were fully absorbed due to the translation of losses incurred at average exchange rate observed in 2020, which cause the losses translated to reais of R$3,616.0 million to be higher than the previously accumulated statutory reserves. Therefore, we presented retained losses of R$ 1,021.0 million as at December 31, 2020 under the Brazilian Corporate Law requirements, which restricts us to distribute earnings to shareholders while the accumulated retained losses are not consumed by future net earnings. In 2021, the losses incurred of US$44.7 million reduced the statutory reserve (retained earnings) in historical U.S. dollars to US$ 1,301.5 million, out of which US$1,048.1 million would be available for distribution in case no restriction exist, but such losses in the amount of R$274.8 million as translated to reais further increased the retained losses translated to reais to R$1,423.0 million.

107

We intend to declare and pay dividends and/or interest on shareholders’ equity, as required by the Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws. Our board of directors may approve the distribution of dividends and/or interest on shareholders’ equity, calculated based on our semiannual or quarterly financial statements. The declaration of annual dividends, including dividends in excess of the mandatory distribution, requires approval by the vote of the majority of the holders of our common shares. The amount of any distributions will depend on many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors and shareholders. Within the context of our tax planning, we may in the future continue to determine that it is in our benefit to distribute interest on shareholders’ equity.

B. Significant Changes

Except as otherwise disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and in this annual report, there have been no significant changes in our business, financial condition or results of operations since December 31, 2021. For further information, see Note 39 to our 2021 audited financial statements.

Item 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

A. Offer and Listing Details

Our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “ERJ.” In addition, our common shares are traded on the B3 under the symbol “EMBR3.” Each ADS represents four common shares.

Our ADSs began trading on the NYSE on June 5, 2006, with each ADS representing four common shares issued by us. The ADSs are issued under a deposit agreement and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., or JP Morgan, serves as depositary under that agreement.

B. Plan of Distribution

Not applicable.

C. Markets

Trading on the B3

In 2000, the São Paulo Stock Exchange, currently called the B3, was reorganized through the execution of memoranda of understanding by the Brazilian stock exchanges. Under the memoranda, all securities are now traded only on the B3, with the exception of electronically traded public debt securities and privatization auctions, which are traded on the Rio de Janeiro Stock Exchange.

Our common shares are listed and traded on the Novo Mercado segment of the B3. Trades in our common shares on the B3 settle in one business day after the trade date. Delivery of and payment for shares is made through the facilities of the CBLC – Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia (clearinghouse for the B3), which maintains accounts for member brokerage firms.

In order to better control volatility, the B3 adopted a “circuit breaker” system pursuant to which trading sessions may be suspended for a period of 30 minutes or one hour whenever the indices of this stock exchange fall below the limit of 10% and 15%, respectively, in relation to the closing value of the index registered in the previous trading session.

108

The B3 is less liquid than the NYSE and other major exchanges in the world. As of December 31, 2021, the B3 had an aggregate market capitalization of approximately R$4.6 trillion, equivalent to US$0.8 trillion. In comparison, the NYSE had a market capitalization of approximately US$27.7 trillion on the same date. Although any of the outstanding shares of a listed company may trade on the B3, in most cases less than one-half of the listed shares are actually available for trading by the public, the remainder being held by small groups of controlling persons, by governmental entities or by one principal shareholder. As of December 31, 2021, we accounted for approximately 0.4% of the market capitalization of all listed companies on the B3. There is also significantly greater concentration in the Brazilian securities markets than in the NYSE or other major exchanges.

Trading on the B3 by non-residents of Brazil is subject to limitations under Brazilian foreign investment legislation.

Novo Mercado Corporate Governance Practices

In 2000, the B3 introduced three special listing segments, known as Levels 1 and 2 of Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices and the Novo Mercado, aiming at fostering a secondary market for securities issued by Brazilian companies with securities listed on the B3, by prompting these companies to follow good practices of corporate governance. The listing segments were designed for the trading of shares issued by companies voluntarily undertaking to abide by corporate governance practices and disclosure requirements in addition to those already imposed by Brazilian law. These rules generally increase shareholders’ rights and enhance the quality of information provided to shareholders.

To become a Level 1 (Nível 1) company, in addition to the obligations imposed by current Brazilian law, an issuer must agree to (i) ensure that shares of the issuer representing 25% of its total capital are effectively available for trading, (ii) adopt offering procedures that favor widespread ownership of shares whenever making a public offering, (iii) comply with minimum quarterly disclosure standards, (iv) follow stricter disclosure policies with regards to contracts with related parties, material contracts and transactions made by controlling shareholders, directors and officers involving securities issued by the issuer, (v) submit any existing shareholders’ agreements and stock option plans to the B3 and (vi) make a schedule of corporate events available to shareholders.

To become a Level 2 (Nível 2) company, in addition to the obligations imposed by current Brazilian law, an issuer must agree to (i) comply with all of the listing requirements for Level 1 companies, (ii) grant tag-along rights for all shareholders in connection with a transfer of control of the company, offering the same price paid per share for controlling block, (iii) grant voting rights to holders of common shares in connection with certain corporate restructurings and related-party transactions, including (1) any transformation of the company into another corporate form, (2) any merger, consolidation or spin-off of the company, (3) approval of any transactions between the company and its controlling shareholder, including parties related to the controlling shareholder, (4) approval of any valuation of assets to be delivered to the company in payment for shares issued in a capital increase, (5) appointment of an expert firm to ascertain the fair value of the company in connection with any deregistration and delisting tender offer, and (6) any changes to these voting rights, (iv) have a board of directors composed of at least five members, of which 20% must be independent directors, with a term limited to two years, (v) prepare annual financial statements in English, including cash flow statements, in accordance with international accounting standards, such as U.S. GAAP or IFRS, (vi) if it elects to delist from the Level 2 segment, hold a tender offer by the company’s controlling shareholder (the minimum price of the shares to be offered will be determined by an appraisal process), and (vii) adhere exclusively to the rules of the B3 Arbitration Chamber for resolution of disputes between the company and its investors.

To be listed on the Novo Mercado, an issuer must meet all of the requirements described above, in addition to (i) issuing only voting shares, (ii) have at least two, or the equivalent of 20% of the board members, whichever is bigger, independent members on the board of directors, with a term limited to two years, (iii) follow stricter disclosure policies with regards to the company’s policies, the internal rules of procedures, the code of business conduct and periodic reports of the audit committee, and (iv) adopt stricter compliance procedures, including an audit committee, an internal audit and other risk management controls.

109

Regarding the obligation to ensure that shares of the issuer representing 25% of its total capital are effectively available for trading, for the companies listed on the Novo Mercado, the threshold might be reduced to 15% of its capital stock, provided its average daily trading volume remains equal to or greater than R$25.0 million, taking into account the trades performed during the previous 12 months. Our shares are listed on the Novo Mercado segment.

Regulation of Brazilian Securities Markets

The Brazilian securities markets are regulated by the CVM (the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission), which has regulatory authority over stock exchanges and the securities markets generally, and by the Brazilian Central Bank, which has, among other powers, licensing authority over brokerage firms and regulates foreign investment and foreign exchange transactions.

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, a corporation is either publicly held (companhia aberta), like us, or closely held (companhia fechada). All publicly held companies, including us, are registered with the CVM and are subject to reporting requirements. Our shares are listed and traded on the Novo Mercado segment of the B3 and may be traded privately subject to limitations.

We have the option of asking for the trading of our securities on the B3 to be suspended in anticipation of a material announcement. Trading may also be suspended on the initiative of the B3 or the CVM, among other reasons, based on or due to a belief that the company has provided inadequate information regarding a material event or has provided inadequate responses to the inquiries by the CVM or the B3.

Trading on the B3 by non-residents of Brazil is subject to limitations under Brazilian foreign investment and tax legislation. The Brazilian custodian for our common shares and the depositary for our ADSs has obtained an electronic certificate of registration from the Brazilian Central Bank to remit U.S. dollars abroad for payments of dividends, any other cash distributions, or upon the disposition of the shares and sales proceeds thereto. Pursuant to CMN Resolution No. 4,373, in order for an investor to surrender ADSs for the purpose of withdrawing the shares represented thereby, the investor is required to appoint a Brazilian financial institution duly authorized by the Brazilian Central Bank and the CVM to act as its legal representative, who shall be responsible, among other things, for keeping and updating the investors’ certificates of registrations with the Brazilian Central Bank, which entitles registered foreign investors to trade the underlying shares directly on the B3.

Disclosure Requirements

Pursuant to CVM Resolution No 44, of August 23, 2021, the CVM revised and consolidated the requirements regarding the disclosure and use of information related to material facts and acts of publicly held companies, including the disclosure of information on the trading and acquisition of securities issued by publicly held companies.

These requirements include provisions that:

• establish the concept of a material fact that gives rise to reporting requirements. Material facts include decisions made by the controlling shareholders, resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders and of management of the company, or any other facts related to the company’s business (whether occurring within the company or otherwise somehow related thereto) that may influence the price of its publicly traded securities, or the decision of investors to trade those securities or to exercise any of those securities’ underlying rights;

• specify examples of facts that are considered to be material, which include, among others, the execution amendment or termination of a shareholders’ agreements providing for the transfer of control, the entry or withdrawal of shareholders that maintain any managing, financial, technological or administrative function with or contribution to the company, and any corporate restructuring undertaken among related companies;

110

• oblige the investor relations officer, controlling shareholders, other officers, directors, members of the audit committee and other advisory boards to disclose material facts;

• require simultaneous disclosure of material facts to all markets in which the corporation’s securities are admitted for trading;

• require the acquirer of a controlling stake in a corporation to publish material facts, including its intentions as to whether or not to de-list the corporation’s shares, within one year;

• establish rules regarding disclosure requirements in the acquisition and disposal of a material stockholding stake;

• restrict the use of insider information; and

• prohibits the company controlling shareholders, directors, members of the board of directors and the supervisory board to carry out any trading with the securities issued by the company, or related to them, during the period that comes before the date of disclosure of the information quarterly accounting and annual financial statements of the company.

Description of Capital Stock

General

As of December 31, 2021, our capital stock consisted of a total of 740,465,044 issued common shares, without par value, including 5,832,238 common shares held in treasury and one special class of common shares known as the “golden share,” held by the Brazilian government. Our bylaws authorize the board of directors to increase the capital stock up to 1,000,000,000 common shares, irrespective of any amendment to our bylaws and of shareholder approval. As of February 28, 2022, we had 734,604,605 outstanding common shares, which were fully paid. Our shareholders must approve at a shareholders’ meeting any capital increase that exceeds the above-referenced authorized capital stock. Our shareholders are not liable for further capital calls. Their liability is limited to the amount of any portion of our capital stock which they have subscribed but have not fully paid in.

Share Buyback

Pursuant to our bylaws, our board of directors approved on December 7, 2007 a share buyback program for our common shares, in compliance with Instrução CVM No. 567, for the purpose of adding value to our shareholders through the management of our capital structure. We were authorized to buy back up to an aggregate of 16,800,000 common shares, representing approximately 2.3% of our outstanding capital, which totaled 740,465,044 outstanding common shares. The acquisition of the shares was made on the B3 and the common shares bought back were kept in treasury form, and the treasury shares did not have any political or economic rights. The program was terminated on March 31, 2008. A total of 16,800,000 shares were purchased at an average price of R$19.06 per share. See “Item 16. Reserved—E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.”

On November 12, 2020, our board of directors approved a new share buyback program for our common shares. We were authorized to buy back up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 common shares. Our common shares outstanding totaled 736,143,105 as of November 12, 2020 and our total of treasury shares as of this date was 4,291,938 which was based on the shareholder base of November 12, 2020. The acquisition of 7,000,000 common shares had a maximum duration, within the buyback program, of 12 months and expired on November 12, 2021. In 2021, we bought back 1,540,300 shares which is the total of the shares repurchased in the aforementioned program.

Common Shares

Each common share is generally empowered with one vote at our shareholders’ meetings. Pursuant to our bylaws and the B3 listing agreement in connection with the listing of our shares on the Novo Mercado, we cannot issue shares without voting rights or with restricted voting rights.

Changes to rights granted to common shares under our bylaws would generally require an amendment to our bylaws. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, an amendment to our bylaws requires shareholder approval in a shareholders’ meeting. Changes to our bylaws would generally require approval by a simple majority vote of holders of common shares, except for matters that require the approval of shareholders representing at least one-half of the issued and outstanding voting shares or for matters subject to the approval of our golden share. For additional information on qualified quorum matters and on voting rights relating to the golden share, see “—Voting Rights of Shares—Qualified Quorum Matters” and “—Voting Rights of Shares—Golden Share,” respectively.

The Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws require that all our shareholders’ meetings be called by publication of a notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the city where our headquarters are located, in a summarized form and with simultaneous disclosure of the full text of the documents on the page of the same

112

newspaper online, which must provide digital certification of the authenticity of the documents kept on the page issued by a certifying authority accredited by the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICP-Brazil), currently the O Vale in São José dos Campos, at least 30 days prior to the meeting. In addition, publications are made in another newspaper of general circulation in São Paulo, where the São Paulo Stock Exchange is located, currently the Valor Econômico. The quorum to hold a shareholders’ meetings at first call is the presence of shareholders representing at least 25% of the common shares (except for meetings convened to amend our bylaws or to waive the public tender offer required for delisting from Novo Mercado, which require a quorum of at least two-thirds of the common shares at first call); and at second call the meeting can be held with the presence of any number of shareholders.

According to our bylaws, in order to attend a shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder must show the evidence of ownership of the shares it intends to vote by showing an identification document and a proof of share ownership. Our shareholders may be represented at shareholders’ meetings by a proxy, issued within a one-year period prior to the meeting to (1) one of our directors or officers, (2) a lawyer or (3) a financial institution. Notwithstanding the above, the CVM decided on November 4, 2014 that shareholders that are legal entities may be represented at shareholders’ meetings by their legal representatives or by a duly appointed attorney-in-fact, pursuant to the bylaws and related corporate instruments of the legal entities and pursuant to the Brazilian Civil Code. Investment funds must be represented by their administrator.

Alternatively, the shareholders might participate in a shareholders’ meetings through a remote voting mechanism, which is regulated by CVM Rule No. 480, as amended, and aims to facilitate the participation of shareholders in general meetings either through the vote or through the submission of proposals and candidates for the election of members of the board of directors or fiscal council. For this purpose, this regulation provided the following:

• the creation of a remote voting bulletin through which shareholders may exercise their right to vote prior to the date the shareholders’ meeting is held;

• the possibility of inclusion of candidates and proposals of deliberation of minority shareholders in that bulletin, with due observance of certain percentages of equity interest, in order to facilitate shareholders’ participation in shareholders’ meetings; and

• the deadlines, procedures and ways of sending this bulletin, which may be forwarded by the shareholder: (a) to the custodian (if the shares held by the shareholder are kept at a centralized deposit) or; (b) to the book-entry agent of the shares issued by the company (if such shares are not kept at a centralized deposit); or (c) directly to the company.

According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, the common shares are entitled to dividends in proportion to their share of the amount available for distribution. For additional information on payment of dividends on our shares, see “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividends and Dividend Policy.” In addition, upon any liquidation of the company, the common shares are entitled to return of capital in proportion to their share of our shareholders’ equity.

According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, neither our bylaws nor actions taken at a shareholders’ meeting may deprive a shareholder of the following rights:

• the right to participate in the distribution of profits;

• the right to participate equally and proportionally in any remaining residual assets in the event of liquidation of the company;

• preemptive rights in the event of issuance of shares, convertible debentures or warrants, except in some specific circumstances under Brazilian law described in “—Preemptive Rights;”

• the right to supervise our management in accordance with Article 109 of the Brazilian Corporate Law; and

• the right to appraisal rights in the cases specified in the Brazilian Corporate Law, which are described in “—Redemption and Right of Withdrawal.”

113

Golden Share

The golden share is held by the Federative Republic of Brazil. For a discussion of the rights to which the golden share is entitled, see “—Voting Rights of Shares—Golden Share.”

Voting Rights of Shares

Each common share is generally empowered with one vote at the general shareholders’ meeting. Pursuant to our bylaws and the B3 listing agreement in connection with the listing of our shares on the Novo Mercado listing segment of B3, we cannot issue shares without voting rights or with restricted voting rights.

Qualified Quorum Matters

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, the approval of shareholders representing at least one-half of the issued and outstanding voting shares is required for the matters described below:

• reducing the mandatory distribution of dividends;

• changing our corporate purpose;

• merging into or consolidating with another company, subject to the conditions set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law;

• transferring all of our shares to another company or receiving shares of another company in order to make the company whose shares were transferred a wholly owned subsidiary of the other company, known as a merger of shares (incorporação de ações);

• participating in a centralized group of companies as defined under the Brazilian Corporate Law and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

• conducting a spin-off;

• dissolving or liquidating us;

• canceling any ongoing liquidation of us; or

• creating preferred shares with greater privileges than the existing shares or changing a priority, preference, privilege or condition of redemption or amortization of preferred shares.

In the event of the last item described above, the approval of shareholders representing the majority of issued and outstanding shares of the affected class would also be required. Our bylaws currently provide that our capital stock shall be divided exclusively into common shares and the only special class is our golden share. For additional information on the golden share, see “—Golden Share.”

Limitations on the Voting Rights of Certain Holders of Common Shares

Our bylaws provide that, at any shareholders’ meeting, no shareholder or group of shareholders, including brokers acting on behalf of one or more holders of ADSs, may exercise votes representing more than 5% of the quantity of shares into which our capital stock is divided. Votes that exceed this 5% threshold will not be considered.

For purposes of our bylaws, two or more of our shareholders are considered to be a “group of shareholders” if:

114

• they are parties to a voting agreement;

• one of them is, directly or indirectly, a controlling shareholder or controlling parent company of the other, or the others;

• they are companies directly or indirectly controlled by the same person/entity, or group of persons/entities, which may or may not be shareholders; or

• they are companies, associations, foundations, cooperatives and trusts, investment funds or portfolios, universalities of rights or any other forms of organization or undertaking (i) with the same administrators or managers, or further (ii) whose administrators or managers are companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by the same person/entity, or group of persons/entities, which may or may not be shareholders.

In the case of investment funds having a common administrator, only funds with policies of investment and of exercise of voting rights at shareholders’ meetings that fall under the responsibility of the administrator on a discretionary basis will be considered to be a group of shareholders.

In addition, shareholders represented by the same proxy, administrator or representative on any account at any shareholders’ meeting will be considered to be a group of shareholders, except for holders of our ADSs when represented by the relevant depositary. All signatories to a shareholders’ agreement that addresses the exercise of voting rights will also be considered to be a group of shareholders for purposes of the foregoing limitation.

This limitation on the voting rights of certain holders of common shares is illustrated in the following table:

Equity Interest of Shareholder or Group of Shareholders	Voting Rights as a Percentage of our Capital Stock
1%	1%
2%	2%
3%	3%
4%	4%
5%	5%
> 5%	5%

Limitations on the Voting Rights of Non-Brazilian Shareholders

In accordance with the edital (invitation to bid) issued by the Brazilian government in connection with the privatization of Embraer in 1994, voting participation of non-Brazilian holders of Embraer common shares was limited to 40% of Embraer common shares votes at shareholders’ meeting.

Our bylaws provide that, at any shareholders’ meeting, non-Brazilian shareholders and groups of non-Brazilian shareholders may not exercise voting rights representing more than two-thirds of the total votes of all of the Brazilian shareholders present at the meeting. The total number of votes that may be exercised by Brazilian shareholders and by non-Brazilian shareholders will be assessed after giving effect to the 5% voting limitation described above in “—Limitations on the Voting Rights of Certain Holders of Common Shares.” Votes of non-Brazilian shareholders that exceed this two-thirds threshold will not be considered. If the total vote of non-Brazilian shareholders at any shareholders’ meeting exceeds two-thirds of the votes that may be exercised by the Brazilian shareholders present at such meeting, the number of votes of each non-Brazilian shareholder will be proportionately reduced so that the total vote of non-Brazilian shareholders does not exceed two-thirds of the total votes that can be exercised by Brazilian shareholders present at the shareholders’ meeting.

The fraction of two-thirds effectively limits the voting rights of non-Brazilian shareholders and groups of non-Brazilian shareholders to 40% of share capital represented at the shareholders’ meeting. The objective of this limitation is to ensure that Brazilian shareholders constitute a majority of the total votes cast at any shareholders’ meeting. This limitation will effectively prevent our takeover by non-Brazilian shareholders and limit the ability of non-Brazilian shareholders to control us.

115

For purposes of our bylaws, the following are considered to be “Brazilian shareholders”:

• Brazilian individuals, whether native or naturalized, resident in Brazil or abroad;

• legal private entities organized under the laws of Brazil that have their administrative head offices in Brazil and (i) do not have a foreign controlling parent company, unless the parent company meets the requirements of clause (ii) of this item, and (ii) are controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more Brazilian individuals, whether native or naturalized, resident in Brazil or abroad; and

• investment funds or clubs organized under the laws of Brazil that have their administrative head office in Brazil and whose managers and/or investors holding the majority of their equity interests are persons/entities referred to above.

A Brazilian shareholder will be required to provide evidence to us and the depositary agent for the book-entry registry that such shareholder satisfies the foregoing requirements and only after this evidence is given will the shareholder be included in the records of Brazilian shareholders.

For purposes of our bylaws, “non-Brazilian shareholders” are any individuals, legal entities, investment funds or clubs and any other organizations that are not considered Brazilian shareholders and that cannot evidence that they satisfy the requirements to for registration as Brazilian shareholders, according to our bylaws.

A “group of shareholders,” as defined above, will be considered to be non-Brazilian whenever one or more of its members is a non-Brazilian shareholder.

The effect of this limitation on the voting rights of non-Brazilian shareholders (i.e., their participation) is illustrated in the following table, where the column “Non-Brazilian Shareholder Participation” indicates the maximum percentage of votes a non-Brazilian shareholder may cast:

Brazilian Shareholder Participation	Non-Brazilian Shareholder Participation	Non-Brazilian Shareholder Participation(1)
(% of capital stock)	(% of capital stock)	(%)
90	10	10.00
80	20	20.00
70	30	30.00
60	40	40.00
59	41	39.33
50	50	33.33
40	60	26.67
30	70	20.00
20	80	13.33
10	90	6.67

(1) Number of votes calculated based on two-thirds of the Brazilian shareholders’ votes.

The tables below illustrate, in different situations, the voting system that will apply at our shareholders’ meetings.

Example 1

All Brazilian shareholders hold less than 5% and non-Brazilian shareholders hold a total of 40%, but without any individual holdings higher than 5%. This example shows a situation where the general restriction for non-Brazilian shareholders does not affect the voting ratio.

Shareholders’ Agreement

Our bylaws limit any shareholder or group of shareholders from exercising voting control over us.

Golden Share

The golden share is held by the Federative Republic of Brazil. The golden share is entitled to the same voting rights as the holders of common shares. In addition, the golden share entitles the holder thereof to veto rights over the following corporate actions:

• change of our name and corporate purpose;

• modification and/or application of our logo;

118

• creation and/or alteration of military programs (whether or not involving Brazil);

• development of third-party skills in technology for military programs;

• discontinuance of the supply of spare parts and replacement parts for military aircraft;

• transfer of our control;

• any amendments to the list of corporate actions over which the golden share carries veto rights, including the right of the Brazilian government to appoint one acting member to our board of directors and the right of our employees to appoint two acting members to our board of directors and to the rights conferred to the golden share; and

• changes to certain provisions of our bylaws pertaining to voting restrictions, rights of the golden share and the mandatory tender offer requirements applicable to holders of 35% or more of our outstanding shares.

The matters listed above are subject to prior approval by our board of directors, followed by prior notices to the Brazilian government and to the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. Within 30 days from the notice, the Brazilian government, as holder of the golden share, may exercise its veto rights. After such period or the pronouncement from the Brazilian government, the board of directors shall meet. In case of rejection of the Brazilian government, the board of directors shall reconsider the previous resolution. In case of approval or in the absence of a response from the Brazilian government within the 30-day period, the previous resolution will be ratified and will be deemed to have been approved by our board of directors. In certain cases, pursuant to our bylaws or applicable law, the matter must be subject to approval at a shareholders’ meeting, and the Brazilian government shall also be entitled to exercise its veto rights related to that matter.

Disclosure of Significant Interest

Brazilian Requirements

Brazilian law provides that all shareholders or groups of shareholders will be required to disclose, through notice to us and to the stock exchanges on which our securities are traded, the negotiation of securities that results in the shareholder surpassing or falling below the thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, and so on, of participation in a certain class or type of share representative of a company’s capital stock. In addition, our bylaws provide that all shareholders or groups of shareholders will be required to disclose, through notice to us and to the stock exchanges on which our securities are traded, the acquisition of shares that, together with those already held by them, exceed 5% of our capital stock. A violation of these disclosure obligations could result in the suspension of rights, including voting rights, by a resolution of shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting.

Certain U.S. Legal Requirements

In addition, the U.S. Exchange Act imposes reporting requirements on shareholders or groups of shareholders who acquire beneficial ownership (as this term is defined under Rule 13d-3 of the U.S. Exchange Act) of more than 5% of our common shares. In general, shareholders must file, within ten days after the acquisition, a report of beneficial ownership with the SEC containing the information prescribed by the regulations under the U.S. Exchange Act. This information is also required to be sent to us and to each U.S. securities exchange on which our common shares are traded. Shareholders should consult with their own legal advisor regarding their reporting obligations under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Form and Transfer

As our shares are in registered book-entry form, the transfer of shares is governed by the rules of Article 35 of the Brazilian Corporate Law. This Article provides that a transfer of shares is effected by an entry made by Banco Itaú S.A., also known as the registrar, in its books, by debiting the share account of the transferor and crediting the share account of the transferee. Banco Itaú S.A. also performs all the services of safe-keeping and transfer of shares and related services for us.

119

Transfers of shares by a non-Brazilian shareholder are made in the same way and entered into by that shareholder’s local agent on the shareholder’s behalf except that if the original investment was registered with the Brazilian Central Bank pursuant to Resolution No. 4,373, the foreign investor must also seek amendment, if necessary, through its local agent, of the electronic registration to reflect the new ownership.

The B3 operates as a central clearing system. A holder of our shares may choose, in its discretion, to participate in this system and all shares elected to be put into this system will be deposited in the custody of the B3 (through a Brazilian institution duly authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank and having a clearing account with the B3). The fact that those shares are held in the custody of the B3 will be reflected in our register of shareholders. Each participating shareholder will, in turn, be registered in our register of beneficial shareholders maintained by the B3 and will be treated in the same way as registered shareholders.

Board of Directors

According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, our officers and directors are prohibited from voting on, or acting in, matters in which their interests conflict with ours.

Our bylaws provide that the shareholders are responsible for determining the global remuneration of the members of our management bodies. Our board of directors is responsible for dividing the remuneration among the members of management. There are no specific provisions regarding the directors’ power to vote on their compensation in the absence of an independent quorum.

With respect to the borrowing powers of the board of directors, the board of directors has the power to authorize the borrowing of funds, either in the form of bonds, notes, commercial paper or other instruments of regular use in the market. Other financing arrangements, including bank loans, may be entered into by us upon the joint signatures of (i) two executive officers, (ii) one officer and one attorney-in-fact or (iii) two attorneys-in-fact.

There is no requirement under the Brazilian Corporate Law or our bylaws that directors retire upon reaching a certain age. In addition, our bylaws do not provide for the re-election of directors at staggered intervals.

For additional information on our board of directors, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—A. Directors and Senior Management—Board of Directors” and “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices.”

Election of Board of Directors

The election of members of our board of directors, absent a request to adopt a cumulative voting system, will be conducted under a system of slate voting whereby voting will be based on a slate of directors and no voting will be allowed on individual candidates. Our board of directors is appointed by our shareholders for a two-year term and three reserved seats as follows: (i) one acting member (and his or her alternate) to be appointed by the Brazilian government, as holder of the “golden share” and (ii) two acting members (and his or her alternate) to be appointed by our employees (one board member and his or her alternate will be appointed by the Employee Investment Club of the Company (CIEMB—Clube de Investimentos dos Empregados da Embraer), and one Board member and his or her alternate will be appointed by the non-shareholder employees of the Company). The remaining eight acting directors are elected in accordance with the slate voting or cumulative voting rules contained in our bylaws. A candidate may participate in two or more different slates. Each shareholder may only vote on one slate and the slate that receives the highest number of votes shall be declared elected.

120

Any shareholder or group of shareholders has a right to propose and submit a slate of members for election to the board of directors different than the slate provided according to our bylaws (i.e., proposed by the board of directors). The same shareholder or group of shareholders may not submit more than one slate. Our bylaws also contain a provision whereby a shareholder that intends to appoint an alternative slate must send written notice at least ten days prior to the general meeting at which the members of the board of directors will be elected, providing us with the name and other particulars and professional resume of the candidates. In case we receive this notice, we must publish a press release to our shareholders, which also must be available on our website within at least eight days before the date of the general meeting, informing shareholders how to obtain a copy of the proposed slate.

Alternatively, the election of members of the board of directors may be conducted under a system of cumulative voting. According to the regulations of the CVM and to our bylaws, adoption of a resolution for cumulative voting depends on a written request by shareholders representing at least 5% of our capital stock, submitted at least 48 hours in advance of the time for which the general shareholders’ meeting has been called, including through a remote voting mechanism. Under the cumulative voting system, each share is entitled to the same number of votes as the number of board members to be elected (subject to the restriction on shareholders holding greater than 5% of the common shares and restrictions on non-Brazilian shareholders as per our by-laws), and each shareholder is entitled to concentrate votes in just one candidate or to distribute the votes among more than one or all of the candidates. Any vacant offices not filled due to a tie in the voting will be subject to a new vote, under the same process.

Preemptive Rights

Each of our shareholders has a general preemptive right to subscribe for shares in the event of any capital increase, or securities convertible into shares, in proportion to its shareholding, except in the event of the grant and exercise of any option to acquire shares of our capital stock. A period of at least 30 days following the publication of notice of the issuance of shares or securities convertible into shares is allowed for exercise of the right, and the right is negotiable. According to the Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws, the board of directors may, in its discretion, eliminate the preemptive rights of the shareholders in the event that we issue shares, debentures convertible into shares, or subscription warrants that will be offered either through a stock exchange or in a public offering, or through an exchange of shares in a public offering, the purpose of which is to acquire control of another company, as established by law.

In the event of a capital increase by means of the issuance of new shares, holders of ADSs, or of common shares, would, except under the circumstances described above, have preemptive rights to subscribe to any class of our newly issued shares. However, a holder may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to the common shares underlying the ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those shares to which the rights relate or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. For additional information on the risks related to our preemptive rights, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and ADSs—Holders of our ADSs might be unable to exercise preemptive rights with respect to the common shares.

Redemption and Right of Withdrawal

The Brazilian Corporate Law provides that, under limited circumstances, a shareholder has the right to withdraw from the company and to receive payment for his shares. This right of withdrawal may be exercised by dissenting shareholders if at least half of voting shares outstanding authorize us to:

• reduce the mandatory distribution of dividends;

• change our corporate purpose;

• merge into or consolidate with another company, subject to the conditions set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law;

121

• transfer all of our shares to another company or receive shares of another company in order to make the company whose shares were transferred a wholly owned subsidiary of the other company, known as a merger of shares (incorporação de ações);

• acquire control of another company at a price which exceeds the limits set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law;

• participate in a centralized group of companies as defined under the Brazilian Corporate Law and subject to the conditions set forth therein; or

• conduct a spin-off that results in (i) a change of our corporate purposes, except if the assets and liabilities of the spun-off company are contributed to a company that is engaged in substantially the same activities, (ii) a reduction in the mandatory dividend or (iii) any participation in a centralized group of companies, as defined under the Brazilian Corporate Law.

In addition, if the entity resulting from a merger, merger of shares (incorporação de ações), as described above, or a consolidation or a spin-off of a listed company fails to become a listed company within 120 days of the shareholders’ meeting at which this decision was taken, the dissenting shareholders may also exercise their right of withdrawal.

The dissenting shareholders may exercise the right of withdrawal only in relation to the shares held on the date that is the earliest between the date of the publication of the first call notice for the shareholders’ meeting that approved the resolution giving rise to the right of withdrawal, or on the date of publication of the material fact in relation to such resolution.

The Brazilian Corporate Law contains provisions that restrict withdrawal rights and allow companies to redeem their shares at their economic value, subject to certain requirements. As our bylaws currently do not provide that our shares would be redeemable at their economic value, our shares would be redeemable at their book value, determined on the basis of the last statement of financial position approved by the shareholders. If the shareholders’ meeting giving rise to withdrawal rights occurs more than 60 days after the date of the last approved statement of financial position, a shareholder may demand that its shares be valued on the basis of a new statement of financial position that is as of a date within 60 days of such shareholders’ meeting.

According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, in events of consolidation, merger, merger of shares (incorporação de ações), participation in a group of companies, and acquisition of control of another company, the right to withdraw does not apply if the shares in question meet certain tests relating to market liquidity and float. Shareholders would not be entitled to withdraw their shares if the shares are a component of a general stock index and shares held by persons unaffiliated with the controlling shareholder represent more than half of the outstanding shares of the relevant type or class. According to CVM Rule No. 565, the applicable general stock index is the Bovespa index, or Ibovespa, of which we are a component.

Mechanism to Promote Dispersed Ownership of Our Shares

Our bylaws contain provisions that have the effect of avoiding concentration of our shares in the hands of an investor or a small group of investors in order to promote more dispersed ownership of our shares. To this end, these provisions place certain obligations on a shareholder or group of shareholders that becomes a holder of 35% or more of our total capital stock, or an Acquiring Shareholder. Not later than 15 days after a shareholder becomes an Acquiring Shareholder, this shareholder must submit a request to the Brazilian government, through the Ministry of Finance, to make a public tender offer to acquire all of our capital stock. The Brazilian government will have full discretion to accept or deny this request. The Acquiring Shareholder may not purchase any additional shares until the Brazilian government provides its opinion on the public offer. If the request is accepted by the Brazilian government, the Acquiring Shareholder must make a public offer for all shares within 60 days of acceptance. The offer must be made in accordance with the CVM and the B3 regulations and the provisions of our bylaws. If the request is denied by the Brazilian government, the Acquiring Shareholder must sell all shares the Acquiring Shareholder owns in excess of 35% of our total capital stock within 30 days. Failure to comply with these provisions will subject the Acquiring

122

Shareholder to the potential suspension of all voting rights inherent to the shares the Acquiring Shareholder holds, if a resolution to this effect is approved at a general meeting of our shareholders called by our management. These provisions are not applicable to shareholders who become holders of 35% or more of our total capital stock in certain transactions specified in our bylaws as, for example, cancellation of our common shares held in treasury.

The public tender offer must be (i) directed to all of our shareholders, (ii) made through an auction to take place on the B3, (iii) launched at a set price calculated in accordance with the procedure set forth below, (iv) paid upfront, in reais, (v) made so as to assure equal treatment to all shareholders, (vi) irrevocable and not subject to any changes after publication of the bidding offer and (vii) based on a valuation report to be prepared in accordance with the rules set forth in our bylaws and in applicable CVM rules and regulations.

The price to be offered for the shares in the public tender offer will be calculated as follows:

• Tender Offer Price = Value of the Share + Premium,

where:

• “Tender Offer Price” corresponds to the acquisition price for each share issued by us in the public offering of shares provided hereunder.

• “Value of the Share” corresponds to the greater of:

(i) the highest unit quotation obtained for the shares issued by us during the 12-month period prior to the tender offer among values recorded on any stock exchange on which the shares were traded;

(ii) the highest price paid by the Acquiring Shareholder, during the 36-month period prior to the tender offer, for a share or tranche of shares issued by us;

(iii) the amount equivalent to 14.5 times our Consolidated Average EBITDA, as defined below, reduced by our net consolidated indebtedness, divided by the total number of shares issued by us; or

(iv) the amount equivalent to 0.6 times the amount of our firm backlog orders, according to the last information disclosed by the latter, reduced by our net consolidated indebtedness, divided by the total number of shares issued by us.

• “Premium” corresponds to 50% of the Value of the Share.

• “Consolidated EBITDA” is our consolidated operating profit before net financial expenses, income tax and social contribution, depreciation, depletion and amortization, as assessed based on the audited statements for our most recent complete fiscal year.

• “Average Consolidated EBITDA” is the arithmetic average of our consolidated EBITDA for the two most recent complete fiscal years.

The launch of a public tender offer does not preclude us or any of our shareholders from launching a competing public tender offer, in accordance with applicable regulations.

Arbitration

Any disputes or controversies relating to the Novo Mercado rules, our bylaws, the Brazilian Corporate Law, the rules published by the CMN, the Brazilian Central Bank, the CVM, and other rules applicable to the Brazilian capital markets in general, must be submitted to arbitration conducted in accordance with the rules of the B3 Arbitration Chamber (“Rules”).

123

According to item 1.4 of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the parties should be bound by the Rules in force on the date of the request for arbitration. Any shareholder that becomes a holder of shares representing our control agrees to comply with the rules of the B3 Arbitration Chamber. These provisions will not apply, however, in the event of a dispute or controversy related to our golden share which shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the central courts of Brasília, Federal District of Brazil.

Going Private Process

If our shareholders determine to take us private and at that time we are controlled by a shareholder, or a group of shareholders, the controlling shareholder or group of shareholders is responsible for conducting a public tender offer for the acquisition of our shares. If our shareholders determine to take us private and at that time we are subject to widespread control, we must conduct the public tender offer, within the limits imposed by applicable law. In this case, we may only purchase shares from shareholders that have voted in favor of our Company becoming a private company after purchasing all shares from the other shareholders that did not vote in favor of the “going private” decision and that have accepted the public tender offer.

Thus, we may become a private company only if we or our controlling shareholders, as the case may be, conduct a public tender offer to acquire all of our outstanding shares (taking into account, for this purpose, the shares held by the shareholders that expressly agree with the ‘going private’ decision or sign up for the public tender offer), subject to prior approval of the public tender offer by the Brazilian government, as holder of the golden share, and in accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law, the CVM regulations and the Novo Mercado rules, as applicable.

The public tender offer must be made at a fair price based on a valuation report of the Company, which means that the offer for the purchase of the totality of shares must be equivalent to at least the value of the Company as appraised. According to our bylaws, the price per share shall be equivalent to, at least, the economic value of those shares as determined in a valuation report prepared by a specialized and independent company of recognized experience, which will be chosen at a shareholders’ meeting from a list of three institutions presented by our board of directors, by an absolute majority of the votes of the shareholders of our outstanding shares present at the meeting (excluding, for this purpose, the shares held by any controlling shareholder or group of shareholders at the time, if any, his/her partners and dependents as described in his/her income tax statement, if the controlling shareholder is an individual; treasury shares; shares held by our affiliates and by other companies that are a part of our economic group, as well as blank votes). All the expenses and costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the valuation report must be borne by the offeror.

Shareholders holding at least 10% of our outstanding shares (taking into account, for this purpose, all the Company’s shares, except for the shares held by the controlling shareholder; shares held by our affiliates and by other companies that are a part of our economic group; shares held by our officers and directors; and treasury shares) may require our management to call a special shareholders’ meeting to determine whether to perform another valuation using the same or a different valuation method. This request must be made within 15 days following the disclosure of the price to be paid for the shares in the public tender offer. The shareholders who make the request, as well as those who vote in its favor, must reimburse us for any costs involved in preparing the new valuation, if the new valuation price is not higher than the original valuation price. If the new valuation price is higher than the original valuation price, the public tender offer must be made at the higher price.

Delisting from the Novo Mercado

Our delisting from the Novo Mercado, either by voluntary or compulsory action or by virtue of corporate restructuring, shall observe the Novo Mercado rules. At any time, we may delist our shares from the Novo Mercado, provided that a public tender offer for the acquisition of our outstanding shares is carried out.

If we are controlled by a shareholder, or a group of shareholders, at the time of our delisting from the Novo Mercado, either for our shares to be traded outside the Novo Mercado or as a result of a corporate

124

reorganization, the controlling shareholder or group of shareholders is responsible for conducting the public tender offer for the acquisition of our shares. If we are subject to widespread control at the time of our delisting from the Novo Mercado, either for our shares to be traded outside the Novo Mercado or as a result of a corporate reorganization, the shareholders present at the meeting may determine the persons responsible for carrying out the tender offer or decide to waive the tender offer.

If the public tender offer is carried out, our delisting in conditioned to shareholders representing more than 1/3 (one third) of our outstanding shares having (i) expressly agreed with the delisting decision or (ii) accepted the public tender offer (taking into account, for this purpose, the shares held by the shareholders that expressly agree with the delisting decision or sign up for the public tender offer). The decision of the shareholders must specify if the delisting will occur because the securities will no longer be traded on the Novo Mercado, or because we are going private. Our delisting from the Novo Mercado will not result in the loss of our registration as a publicly held company on the Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, or B3.

According to our bylaws, the price per share for the public tender offer shall be equivalent to, at least, the economic value of those shares as determined in a valuation report prepared by a specialized and independent company of recognized experience, which will be chosen at a shareholders’ meeting from a list of three institutions presented by our board of directors, by an absolute majority of the votes of the shareholders of our outstanding shares present at the meeting (excluding, for this purpose, the shares held by any controlling shareholder or group of shareholders at the time, if any, his/her partners and dependents as described in his/her income tax statement, if the controlling shareholder is an individual; treasury shares; shares held by our affiliates and by other companies that are a part of our economic group, as well as blank votes). In addition, the Novo Mercado rules establish that the offer for the purchase of the totality of shares must be equivalent to at least the fair value of the Company as appraised. All the expenses and costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the valuation report must be paid by the offeror.

A voluntary delisting from the Novo Mercado may occur regardless of the completion of the tender offer mentioned above in the event of a waiver approved at a general shareholders’ meeting, which must observe the rules and conditions of the Novo Mercado Rules.

Pursuant to our bylaws, we may also be delisted if the São Paulo Stock Exchange decides to suspend trading of our shares on the Novo Mercado due to our non-compliance with the Novo Mercado rules. In this case, the chairman of the board of directors must call a shareholders’ meeting, within two days of the determination by the São Paulo Stock Exchange, in order to replace all members of our board of directors. If the chairman of the board of directors does not call the shareholders’ meeting, any shareholder may do so. The new board of directors will be responsible for the compliance with the requirements that resulted in the delisting.

Additionally, if we are delisted from the Novo Mercado (1) because a decision taken at a general shareholders’ meeting resulted in non-compliance with the Novo Mercado rules, the public tender offer must be conducted by the shareholders that voted in favor of the decision, or (2) as a result of our non-compliance with the Novo Mercado rules resulting from acts of our management, we must conduct the public tender offer in order to become a private company, within the limits imposed by law, if the Company is not controlled by a controlling shareholder or group of shareholders. Otherwise, the controlling shareholder or group of shareholders is responsible for conducting a public tender offer for the acquisition of the shares.

According to the Novo Mercado rules, in the event of a transfer of our shareholding control within 12 months following our delisting from the Novo Mercado, the selling controlling shareholders and the acquirer must offer to acquire the remaining shares for the same price and terms offered to the selling controlling shareholders, adjusted for inflation, or the surplus, if there is any, between the price per share offered at the public tender offer, adjusted for inflation, and the price per share received by the selling controlling shareholders due to the transfer of control.

C. Material Contracts

Business Combination Agreement with Zanite

On December 21, 2021, Eve UAM, LLC, or EVE, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a business combination agreement with Zanite Acquisition Corp., or Zanite, a special purpose acquisition company focused on the aviation sector. Upon the closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by the second quarter of 2022 and is subject to customary shareholders’ approval and conditions precedent, Zanite will change its name to Eve Holding, Inc., or Eve Holding, and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbols, “EVEX” and “EVEXW.” Embraer, through its subsidiary Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc., will remain a majority stockholder with an approximately 82% equity stake in Eve Holding following the closing of transaction. For more information, see note 1.1.4 of our 2021 consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

The transaction includes up to approximately US$237 million in cash from Zanite Acquisition Corp. and a US$305 million private investment in public equity deals (PIPE), anchored by Embraer S.A., Zanite Sponsor LLC, financial investors and a consortium of leading strategic partners.

The agreement aims to further develop EVE’s comprehensive, practical and capital efficient urban air mobility solution, through design and production of eVTOL, service and support, fleet operations and urban air traffic management. It is expected that, in ten years, the eVTOL would decrease our carbon dioxide emissions by 850 million tons. It is expected that urban air mobility solutions will enhance productivity, attract infrastructure investment, be beneficial to urban populations, diminish traffic jams and democratize air travel.

D. Exchange Controls

There are no restrictions on ownership of our common shares by individuals or legal entities domiciled or headquartered outside Brazil. However, the registration of this investment with the Brazilian Central Bank is required and the right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of common shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts outside Brazil is subject to restrictions under foreign investment legislation.

Pursuant to Brazilian law, investors may invest in common shares under Resolution No. 4,373, of September 29, 2014, issued by the CMN, governmental authority responsible for formulating the Brazilian monetary and credit policies. The rules of Resolution No. 4,373 allow foreign investors to invest in almost all financial assets and to engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that certain requirements are fulfilled. In accordance with Resolution No. 4,373, the definition of foreign investor includes individuals, legal entities, mutual funds and other collective investment entities domiciled or headquartered abroad.

Pursuant to the Resolution No. 4,373, foreign investors must: (i) appoint at least one representative in Brazil with powers to perform actions related to the foreign investment; (ii) provide all required information that shall be sent by the representative to the CVM through the CVM’s website; (iii) be registered as a foreign investor with the CVM and the Brazilian tax authorities; and (iv) register the foreign investment with the Brazilian Central Bank.

126

Securities and other financial assets held by foreign investors pursuant to Resolution No. 4,373 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly licensed by the Brazilian Central Bank or the CVM. In addition, securities trading for these investors is restricted to transactions carried out in the stock exchanges or organized over-the-counter markets licensed by the CVM.

Under Resolution No. 4,373, foreign investors registered with the CVM may buy and sell securities on Brazilian stock exchanges or organized over-the-counter markets without obtaining a separate certificate of registration for each transaction. Investors under these regulations are also generally entitled to favorable tax treatment.

Annex II to Resolution No. 4,373 provides for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect of Brazilian issuers’ securities.

In connection with equity offerings of our common shares, an electronic registration was issued in the name of the depositary with respect to the ADSs and is maintained by the custodian on behalf of the depositary. This electronic registration was carried out through the Brazilian Central Bank Information System. Pursuant to the registration, the custodian and the depositary are able to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to the common shares represented by ADSs into foreign currency and remit the proceeds outside Brazil, to the holder of ADSs. In the event that a holder of ADSs exchanges the ADSs for common shares, the custodian must update the registry of the investment with the Brazilian Central Bank within five business days after the exchange. In order to receive the common shares, the investor must have a registration with the Brazilian Central Bank and the CVM pursuant to Resolution 4,373. Until this registration has been obtained, the holder will not be able to receive the common shares.

In addition, if the foreign investor resides in a “tax haven” jurisdiction or is not an investor registered under Resolution No. 4,373, the investor will be subject to less favorable Brazilian tax treatment than a holder of ADSs.

For additional information on Brazilian taxes, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Common Shares and ADSs—If holders of our ADSs exchange the ADSs for common shares, they risk losing the ability to remit foreign currency abroad and Brazilian tax advantages” and “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material Brazilian Tax Consequences.”

E. Taxation

The following discussion, subject to the limitations set forth below, summarizes certain Brazilian and United States tax considerations relating to the ownership of our common shares or ADSs. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations in those countries and does not address tax treatment of shareholders under the laws of other countries. Shareholders that are resident in countries other than Brazil and the United States, along with shareholders that are resident in those two countries, are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to which countries’ tax laws could be relevant to them. This summary is based upon the tax laws of Brazil and the United States as in effect on the date of this annual report, which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. Any change in the law may change the consequences described below.

Although there presently is no income tax treaty between Brazil and the United States, the tax authorities of the two countries have had discussions that may result in this treaty. No assurance can be given, however, as to if or when a treaty will enter into force or how it will affect the U.S. holders of common shares or ADSs.

Material Brazilian Tax Consequences

General. The following discussion summarizes the principal Brazilian tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares or ADSs, as the case may be, by a holder that is not considered domiciled in Brazil, or a Non-Brazilian Holder, for purposes of Brazilian taxation.

127

This discussion is not a comprehensive discussion of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our common shares or ADSs and is not applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, and does not specifically address all of the Brazilian federal income tax considerations applicable to any particular holder. It is based on the tax laws of Brazil in effect on the date of this report, which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. Each prospective purchaser is urged to consult his own tax advisor about the particular Brazilian tax consequences of an investment in our common shares or ADSs.

Taxation of Dividends. Dividends, including stock dividends and other dividends paid in kind, paid by us to the depositary in respect of the ADSs, or to a Non-Brazilian Holder in respect of the common shares, are currently not subject to withholding tax, provided that they are paid out of profits generated as of January 1, 1996. Dividends paid from profits generated before January 1, 1996 may be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at variable rates, according to the tax legislation applicable to each corresponding year. There are some proposed bills under discussion in the Brazilian Congress which, if enacted, would revoke this exemption. Furthermore, the taxation of dividends has also been mentioned multiples times by the government and law makers as one of the items in the Brazilian tax reform agenda (and was included in the Federal Government’s proposition of the Income Tax Reform). Should any of these bills be passed by Congress and sanctioned by the president of Brazil, all dividends paid from Brazil would be subject to withholding tax in Brazil upon payment to Non-Brazilian Holders.

Taxation of Gains. According to Law No. 10,833, enacted on December 29, 2003, capital gains realized on the sale or disposition of assets located in Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder, regardless of whether the sale or the disposition is made to another non-Brazilian resident or to a Brazilian resident, is subject to taxation in Brazil. Accordingly, on the disposition of the common shares, which are considered assets located in Brazil, the Non-Brazilian Holder will be subject to income tax on the gains assessed, following the rules described below, regardless of whether the transactions are conducted in Brazil or abroad and with a Brazilian resident or not. Regarding the ADSs, although the matter is not free from doubt, arguably the gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposition of ADSs should not be taxed in Brazil, based on the argument that ADSs would not constitute assets located in Brazil for purposes of Law No. 10,833, 2003. However, we cannot assure how Brazilian courts would interpret the definition of assets located in Brazil in connection with the taxation of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposition of ADSs. Thus, the gain on a disposition of ADSs by a Non-Brazilian Holder may be subject to income tax in Brazil according to the rules described below for ADSs or those applicable to the disposition of common shares, when applicable. It is important to clarify that, for purposes of Brazilian taxation, the income tax rules on gains related to disposition of common shares or ADSs can vary depending on the domicile of the Non-Brazilian Holder, the form by which the Non-Brazilian holder has registered its investment with the Central Bank and/or how the disposition is carried out, as described below.

The deposit of common shares in exchange for ADSs may be subject to Brazilian income tax on capital gains at rates ranging from 15% to 22.5%, or 25% in case of a Non-Brazilian Holder located in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below), if the acquisition cost of the common shares is lower than (i) the average price per common share on a Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of these shares were sold on the day of deposit or (ii) if no common shares were sold on that day, the average price on the Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of common shares were sold in the 15 trading sessions immediately preceding such deposit. In this case, the positive difference between the average price of the common shares, calculated as above, and the corresponding acquisition cost, may be considered a capital gain. In some circumstances, there may be arguments to support that such tax treatment is not applicable in case of Non-Brazilian Holders registered under Resolution No. 4,373/14 from the Brazilian Central Bank, or the 4,373 Holder, that are not resident in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below). Prospective holders of common shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the deposit in exchange for ADSs. The withdrawal of ADSs in exchange for common shares should not be considered as giving rise to a capital gain subject to Brazilian income tax, as far as the regulatory rules in respect to the registration of the investment before the Central Bank are duly observed.

Gains assessed on the disposition of common shares carried out on the Brazilian stock exchange (which includes the transactions carried out on the organized over-the-counter market) are:

128

• exempt from income tax when assessed by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (i) is a 4,373 Holder and (ii) is not resident in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below); or

• subject to income tax at a rate of up to 25% in any other case, including the gains assessed by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (i) is not a 4,373 Holder and/or or (ii) is a 4,373 Holder resident in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below). In these cases, a withholding income tax of 0.005% of the sale value shall be applicable and can be later offset with the eventual income tax due on the capital gain. Day trade transactions are subject to the rate of 1%.

Any other gains assessed on a disposition of the common shares that is not carried out on Brazilian stock exchanges are subject to income tax at rates of up to 22.5%, except for a resident of a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below) which, in this case, is subject to income tax at a rate of up to 25%. In case the gains are related to transactions conducted on the Brazilian non-organized over-the-counter market with intermediation, the withholding income tax of 0.005% on the sale value shall also be applicable and can be offset with the eventual income tax due on the capital gain. In the case of a redemption of common shares or ADSs or a capital reduction by a Brazilian corporation, the positive difference between the amount effectively received by the Non-Brazilian Holder and the proportional acquisition cost of the common shares or ADSs redeemed is treated as capital gain derived from sale or exchange of common shares not carried out in a Brazilian stock exchange market and is therefore subject to income tax at rates of up to 25%, as the case may be. As a general rule, the gains realized as a result of a disposition transaction of common shares or ADSs are determined by the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange of the shares or ADSs and their acquisition cost.

There can be no assurance that the current preferential tax treatment for Non-Brazilian Holders of ADSs and 4,373 Holder of common shares will continue.

Any exercise of preemptive rights relating to the common shares or ADSs will not be subject to Brazilian income tax. Any gain on the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to our common shares or the ADSs by a Non-Brazilian Holder of common shares will be subject to Brazilian income taxation according to the same rules applicable to the sale or disposition of these shares.

Taxation on Interest on Shareholders’ Equity. For additional information on taxation on interest on shareholders’ equity, see “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividends and Dividend Policy—History of Dividend and Interest on Shareholders’ Equity Payments and Dividend Policy.”

In accordance with Law No. 9,249, dated December 26, 1995, as amended, Brazilian corporations may make payments to shareholders characterized as distributions of interest on the company’s shareholders’ equity on top of or as an alternative to making dividend distributions. This interest is calculated by multiplying the TJLP as determined by the Central Bank from time to time by the sum of determined Brazilian company’s net equity accounts. Interest on Shareholders’ Equity are deductible for purposes of calculating the Brazilian corporate income tax and social contribution on net profits, as long as the following limits are observed:

• 50% of net profits (after the social contribution on net profits but before taking such distribution and the provision for corporate income tax into account) related to the period for which the payment is made; and

• 50% of the sum of retained profits and profit reserves as of the date of the beginning of the period for which the payment is made.

The Brazilian Corporate Law establishes that interest attributed to shareholders’ equity in respect of the common shares paid to shareholders who are Non-Brazilian holders, including Non-Brazilian holders of ADSs, are subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at the rate of 15%, 25% in case of a resident of a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below) or where applicable local laws impose restrictions on the disclosure of the shareholding composition or the ownership of investments or the ultimate beneficiary of the income derived from transactions carried out and attributable to a Non-Brazilian holder. The distribution of interest on shareholders’ equity may be determined by our board of directors. We cannot assure you that our board of directors will not determine that future distributions of profits may be made by means of interest on shareholders’ equity instead of by means of dividends.

129

The amounts paid as distribution of interest on shareholders’ equity to a Non-Resident Holder located in a country that has a tax treaty with Brazil may be classified as (i) interest, (ii) dividends or (iii) other revenues. The classification will depend on the actual wording of the treaty. There are some proposed bills under discussion in the Brazilian Congress which, if enacted, would revoke the possibility of the company paying interest on shareholders’ equity. Furthermore, revoking the deductibility of the interest on shareholder’s equity has also been mentioned multiples times by the government and law makers as one of the items in the Brazilian tax reform agenda (and was included in the Federal Government’s proposition of the Income Tax Reform).

Low or Nil Taxation Jurisdictions. On June 4, 2010, Brazilian tax authorities enacted Normative Ruling No. 1,037 listing (i) the countries and jurisdictions considered as Low or Nil Taxation Jurisdiction or where the local legislation does not allow access to information related to the shareholding composition of legal entities, to their ownership or to the identity of the effective beneficiary of the income attributed to non-residents (Tax Favorable Jurisdictions) and (ii) the privileged tax regimes, or PTR, which definition is provided by Law No. 9,430, of 27 December, 1996. Brazilian tax authorities periodically update the list of countries/jurisdictions and regimes that shall be treated as Tax Favorable Jurisdiction and PTR.

The concept of PTR, encompasses structures that: (i) are not liable to tax on income or tax it at a maximum rate lower than 20%; (ii) grant tax benefits to non-residents (1) with no requirement to carry out substantial economic activity within the territory or (2) on the condition that they do not carry out substantial economic activity within the territory; (iii) do not tax income from outside its territory, or taxes it at less than 20%; or (iv) do not disclose certain information on the ownership and beneficial ownership of assets or on transactions within its territory, or imposes restrictions on disclosure of that information

On November 28, 2014 the Brazilian Revenue Service issued Rule 488 reducing the concept of Tax Favorable Jurisdictions and of PTR to those that tax the income below the rate of 17% (the previous concept adopted a 20% maximum rate for that purpose).

We believe that the best interpretation of the current tax legislation leads to the conclusion that the above-mentioned PTR concept should apply solely for purposes of Brazilian transfer pricing and thin capitalization rules. Currently, the understanding of the Brazilian tax authorities is in the sense that payment of interest to beneficiaries resident in PTRs is not subject to the same treatment applicable to beneficiaries in Tax Favorable Jurisdictions (Answer to Advance Tax Ruling Request COSIT n. 575, of December 20, 2017). Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that subsequent legislation or interpretations by the Brazilian tax authorities regarding the definition of a PTR provided by Law No. 9,430, of December 27, 1996 altered by Law No. 11,727 will also apply to a Non-Brazilian Holder on payments of interest on shareholders’ equity. Notwithstanding the above, we recommend that you consult your own tax advisors regarding the consequences of the implementation of Law No. 11,727, Normative Ruling No. 1,037 and Rule 488.

Taxation on Foreign Exchange Transactions, or IOF/Exchange. Pursuant to Decree No. 6,306/07, the conversion into foreign currency or the conversion into Brazilian currency of the proceeds received or remitted by a Brazilian entity from a foreign investment in the Brazilian securities market, including those in connection with the investment by a Non-Brazilian Holder in the common shares and ADSs may be subject to the Tax on Foreign Exchange Transactions, or IOF/Exchange. Currently applicable rate for most foreign currency exchange transactions is 0.38%.

However, currency exchange transactions carried out for the in-flow of resources into Brazil by a 4,373 Holder are subject to IOF/Exchange at (i) 0% rate in case of variable income transactions carried out on the Brazilian stock, futures and commodities exchanges, as well as in the acquisitions of shares of Brazilian publicly held companies in public offerings or subscription of shares related to capital contributions, provided that the issuer company has registered its shares for trading in the stock exchange, and (ii) 0% for the outflow of resources from Brazil related to these type of investments, including payments of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity and the repatriation of funds invested in the Brazilian market. Furthermore, the IOF/Exchange is currently levied at a 0% rate on the withdrawal of ADSs into shares.

130

In any case, the Brazilian government may increase the rate at any time, up to 25.0%. However, any increase in rates may only apply to future transactions.

Tax on Transactions Involving Bonds and Securities, or IOF/Bonds. Pursuant to Decree 6,306/07 the IOF/Bonds may be imposed on any transactions involving bonds and securities, even if the transactions are carried out on a Brazilian stock exchange. The rate of IOF/Bonds applicable to transactions involving common shares and ADS is currently zero. In particular, the IOF/Bond also levies at a zero percent rate on the transfer of shares traded on the Brazilian stock exchange with the purpose of the issuance of depositary receipts to be traded outside Brazil. The Brazilian government may increase the rate of the IOF/Bonds at any time by up to 1.5% per day of the transaction amount, but only in respect of future transactions.

Other Brazilian Taxes. There are no Brazilian federal inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of common shares or ADSs by a Non-Brazilian Holder. Gift and inheritance taxes, however, may be levied by some states of Brazil on gifts made or inheritances bestowed by Non-Brazilian Holders to individuals or entities resident or domiciled within those states in Brazil. There are no Brazilian stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of common shares or ADSs.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Embraer common shares and ADSs. This discussion only applies to beneficial owners of Embraer common shares or ADSs that are “U.S. Holders” (as defined below) that hold common shares or ADSs of Embraer as capital assets (generally for investment purposes). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to a U.S. Holder, including, gift, estate, alternative minimum and Medicare contribution tax consequences, or the tax consequences to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, including:

• partnerships and other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• tax-exempt entities;

• dealers and traders in securities or foreign currencies;

• insurance companies;

• certain financial institutions;

• persons who own Embraer common shares or ADSs as part of an integrated investment, including a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, comprising the Embraer common shares or ADSs and one or more other positions for tax purposes;

• U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• persons who actually or constructively own 10% or more of Embraer’s total combined vote or value of its outstanding common shares or ADSs;

• persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;

• persons who acquired Embraer common shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and

131

• persons holding Embraer common shares or ADSs in connection with a trade or business conducted outside the United States.

In addition, there is no discussion of state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Embraer common shares or ADSs. The discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Code, its legislative history, existing final, temporary, and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, rulings and other pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and judicial decisions as of the date of this annual report. Such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified (with possible retroactive effect) so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

This discussion is also based in part on the representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own independent tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership of Embraer common shares and ADSs in light of their particular situations, as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Embraer common shares or ADSs representing Embraer common shares that is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (1) that is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (2) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. Except where specifically described below, this discussion assumes that we are not a controlled foreign corporation or a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, in either case, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Embraer common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of such partnership and each partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner in such partnership and upon the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold Embraer common shares or ADSs, and partners of a partnership holding such common shares or ADSs, are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Embraer common shares or ADSs.

In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder who is a beneficial owner of an ADS will be treated as the owner of the underlying Embraer common shares that are represented by such ADS. The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADSs are pre-released before shares are delivered to the depositary, or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between holders of ADSs and the issuer of the security underlying the ADSs, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the creditability of any Brazilian taxes could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.

Distributions on Embraer Common Shares or ADSs

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of any distributions (including distributions of notional interest charges attributed to shareholders’ equity) paid to U.S. Holders of Embraer common shares or ADSs (including Brazilian withholding taxes imposed on such distributions) will be treated as a dividend, to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of Embraer as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such a dividend will be includable in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary income on the date received or accrued by the U.S. Holder. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds Embraer’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free

132

return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Embraer common shares or ADSs, and thereafter as capital gain. We do not expect to maintain calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and unless and until such calculations are made, U.S. Holders should assume that a distribution is paid out of earnings and profits and will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Dividends paid by Embraer will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to domestic corporations under the Code.

The amount of any cash distribution paid in reais will be included in a U.S. Holder’s gross income in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the reais calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is received or accrued by the U.S. Holder, in the case of Embraer common shares, and by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the reais are converted into U.S. dollars. If the reais received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the reais equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the reais will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury and a number of other complex limitations and conditions (including a limit on credits that may be claimed with respect to qualified dividend income (as defined below)), a U.S. Holder will generally be entitled to claim a U.S. foreign tax credit in respect of any Brazilian withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on Embraer’s common shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders who do not elect to claim a credit for foreign taxes may instead claim a deduction in respect of such Brazilian withholding taxes. Dividends received with respect to the Embraer common shares or ADSs will be treated as foreign source income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will be “passive category income” for purposes of calculating foreign tax credits in most cases, subject to various limitations. The rules relating to computing foreign tax credits or deducting foreign income taxes are extremely complex, and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own independent tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits with respect to any Brazilian withholding taxes in regards of dividends paid on Embraer’s common shares or ADSs.

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the amount of dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) with respect to the Embraer common shares or ADSs may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation if the dividends represent “qualified dividend income.” Dividends paid on the Embraer common shares or ADSs will be treated as qualified dividend income if (i) the Embraer common shares or ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) the U.S. Holder meets the holding period requirement for the common shares or ADSs (generally more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date) and (iii) Embraer was not in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid (with respect to a U.S. Holder that held Embraer common shares or ADSs), and is not in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC. Under guidance issued by the IRS, the ADSs of Embraer should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are listed on the NYSE. In the case of Embraer common shares held directly by U.S. Holders and not through an ADS, it is not clear whether dividends paid with respect to such shares will represent “qualified dividend income.” U.S. Holders holding Embraer common shares directly and not through an ADS are urged to consult their own independent tax advisors.

Based on its audited financial statements as well as relevant market and shareholder data, Embraer believes that it was not a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to its 2021 taxable year. However, Embraer cannot assure you it will not become a PFIC in 2022 or future years. See “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Embraer Common Shares or ADSs

133

A U.S. Holder will recognize a taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Embraer common shares or ADSs in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis (determined in U.S. dollars) in the Embraer common shares or ADSs. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Embraer common shares or ADSs have a holding period of more than one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder from the sale, exchange or taxable disposition of Embraer common shares or ADSs generally will be gain or loss from U.S. sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, if a Brazilian withholding tax or capital gains tax is imposed pursuant to a sale of Embraer common shares or ADSs, U.S. Holders who do not have sufficient foreign source income might not be able to derive effective U.S. foreign tax credit benefit in respect of such Brazilian withholding tax or capital gains tax. The rules relating to foreign tax credits, including the amount of foreign income taxes that may be claimed as a credit in any given year, are extremely complex and subject to limitations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own independent tax advisor regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their particular circumstances.

Deposits and withdrawals of Embraer common shares in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If, during any taxable year of a non-U.S. corporation, 75% or more of the corporation’s gross income consists of certain types of “passive” income, or the average value during a taxable year of the “passive assets” of the corporation (generally, assets that generate or are held to generate passive income) is 50% or more of the average value of all the corporation’s assets, the corporation will be treated as a PFIC under U.S. federal income tax law. For this purpose, passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties and gains from the disposition of investment assets, subject to various exceptions. If the non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, it will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning its proportionate share of the other corporation’s gross assets and receiving its proportionate share of the other corporation’s gross income. However, if the non-U.S. corporation owns less than 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, that stock may be treated as a passive asset.

If a corporation is treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may be subject to increased tax liability upon the sale of its stock, or upon the receipt of certain dividends, unless such U.S. Holder makes an election to be taxed currently on its pro rata portion of the corporation’s income, whether or not such income is distributed in the form of dividends, or otherwise makes a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the corporation’s stock as permitted by the Code. Currently, a U.S. Holder who owns common shares or ADSs in any year that Embraer is a PFIC in excess of certain de minimis amounts and fails to qualify for certain other exemptions would be required to file IRS Form 8621 to report such holdings. In addition, as discussed above, a U.S. Holder would not be entitled to (if otherwise eligible for) the preferential reduced rate of tax payable on certain dividend income.

As stated above, although no assurances can be given, based on Embraer’s operations, projections and business plans and the other items discussed above, Embraer does not believe that it (or its predecessor) was a PFIC for 2021 or in prior years. Although Embraer is not aware that it will be a PFIC in 2022 or future years, this will depend on the nature, amount and value of Embraer’s operations, activities, assets and income as of the relevant time of determination. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Embraer will not become a PFIC for 2022 or a future year.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own independent tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules and related reporting requirements to the common shares or ADSs and the availability and advisability of making an election to avoid the adverse tax consequences of the PFIC rules should Embraer be considered a PFIC for any taxable year.

U.S. Tax Reform – Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes several provisions that affect Embraer. The act provided for an employee retention credit to assist with employers keeping employees on payroll even if they cannot physically report to work under the COVID-19 restrictions. The Act also included a five-year net operating loss carryback provision which enables companies to benefit from certain losses and re-measure certain deferred tax assets and liabilities at the former federal tax rate of 35%. In addition, the CARES Act provided a delay in making required payroll tax deposits, as well as extension and first quarter estimated tax payments. The purpose of this delay was to assist companies with cash flow issues. The provisions of the CARES Act did not have a significant impact on Embraer for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, payments of dividends on Embraer common shares or ADSs, and payments of the proceeds of the sale, exchange or other disposition of Embraer common shares or ADSs, paid within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries to a U.S. Holder are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding at a current maximum rate of 24% unless the U.S. Holder (i) is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely provided to the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules that exceed its U.S. federal income tax liability by filing a timely refund claim with the IRS.

In addition, certain U.S. Holders are required to report to the IRS information relating to an interest in the common shares or ADSs, subject to exceptions (including an exception for common shares or ADSs held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax returns for each year in which they held an interest in the common shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this information reporting requirement on their acquisition, ownership and disposition of the common shares or ADSs.

Item 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, primarily related to potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We have established policies and procedures to manage sensitivity to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These procedures include the monitoring of our levels of exposure to each market risk, including an analysis based on forecast of future cash flows, the funding of variable rate assets with variable rate liabilities, and limiting the amount of fixed rate assets which may be funded with floating rate liabilities. We may also use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations and to reduce our exposure to exchange rate risk. The following sections address the significant market risks associated with our financial activities.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for interest rate fluctuations principally relates to changes in the market interest rates of our U.S. dollar-denominated and real-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, principally our short- and long-term debt obligations. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into increases and decreases in interest expense. Additionally, the fair values of interest rate-sensitive instruments are also affected by general market conditions.

Our short- and long-term debt obligations totaled US$4,026.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and were denominated in U.S. dollars, Brazilian reais and Euros. Of the total amount of debt denominated in U.S. dollars (i.e., US$3,982.5 million), US$3,480.6 million was subject to fixed rates. The remaining floating rate U.S. dollar-denominated debt, or US$501.9 million, which corresponds to 12.6% of our debt denominated in U.S. dollars, was indexed to LIBOR or SIFMA. It is likely that we will have to transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark to our debt in 2022, since the banks’ obligations to report information used to set LIBOR will cease by then. As of the date of this annual report, we are discussing and analyzing the replacement of LIBOR with the applicable bank, and we have not reached a conclusion regarding this transition.

Of our US$18.3 million Brazilian real-denominated debt as of December 31, 2021, US$4.4 million bears interest at a variable rate based on the TJLP, IPCA and CDI, and US$13.9 million bears interest at a fixed rate. Our Euro denominated debt totaled US$26.0 million and is floating rate as of December 31, 2021.

The table below provides information about our short-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2021, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

In managing our foreign currency risk, we focus on balancing our non-U.S. dollar-denominated assets against our non-U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities plus shareholders’ equity in relation to our forecasts of future cash flows. Beyond the foreign currency exposure related to our debt obligations as summarized above, we also have other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These monetary assets and liabilities are primarily cash and cash equivalents, financial assets, accounts receivable and payable, deferred income taxes, dividends and certain other assets and liabilities and are primarily denominated in Brazilian reais. The effects on these assets and liabilities of the appreciation or devaluation of other foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar result in foreign exchange gains (losses) recognized as interest income (expense), net. The translation gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of our financial statements to U.S. dollars are recognized on our statement of income as foreign exchange gain (loss), net.

Our cash flow exposure comes as a result of the fact that 7.8% of our net revenues and 13.2% of our total costs are denominated in reais. Having more real denominated costs than revenues generates the exposure. For additional information on our hedges and derivate instruments, see Note 8 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Credit Risk

We may incur losses if counterparties to our various contracts do not pay amounts that are owed to us. In that regard, our primary credit risk derives from the sales of aircraft, spare parts and related services to customers, including the financial obligations related to those sales in the cases where we provide guarantees for the benefit of the providers of finance to the aircraft purchases of our customers. We are also exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties to our financial instruments.

Financial instruments which may potentially subject us to credit risk concentration include (i) financial investments and other financial instruments, (ii) trade accounts receivable, (iii) customer commercial financing and (iv) advances to suppliers. We seek to limit our credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing the investments we make with those instruments with investment-grade ratings following the guidelines of our financial management policy. With respect to trade accounts receivable and customer commercial financing, we seek to limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. All these customers are currently meeting their commitments with us, are operating within the established credit limits that we assign to them and are considered by management to represent an acceptable credit risk level to us. Advances to suppliers are made only to select, long-standing suppliers. We analyze the financial condition of those suppliers on an ongoing basis with a view to limiting credit risk.

We may also have credit risk related to the sale of aircraft during the period in which their purchasers are finalizing the financing arrangements for their aircraft purchases from us. In order to try to minimize these risks, we continuously monitor customer credit analyses and work closely with financial institutions to facilitate customer aircraft financing.

For further information, see Note 27.3.2 to our 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Item 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures refers to the controls and other procedures adopted by us that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our President and CEO, Francisco Gomes Neto, and our executive vice-president and chief financial and investor relations officer, Antonio Carlos Garcia, after evaluating, together with management, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this annual report, concluded that, as of this date, our disclosure control and procedures were effective to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and were effective in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

142

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Effective internal control over financial reporting cannot, and does not, provide absolute assurance of achieving our control objectives. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein on page F-3.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our risks and internal controls department periodically evaluates our internal controls for the main cycles, documenting the processes used in each cycle, identifying opportunities and suggesting improvements for the existing control mechanisms. There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

On March 10, 2016, our board of directors approved a new share buyback program for our common shares, in compliance with CVM Instruction No. 567. We were authorized to buy back up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares, representing approximately 0.4% of our outstanding capital, which totaled 737,439,054 common shares outstanding on March 10, 2016. A total of 3,000,000 common shares were repurchased at an average price of R$20.00 per share from March 17 through June 30, 2016.

On June 2, 2017, our board of directors approved a new share buyback program for our common shares, in compliance with CVM Instruction No. 567. We were authorized to buy back up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares, representing approximately 0.4% of our outstanding capital, which totaled

144

735,752,704 common shares outstanding on June 2, 2017. A total of 3,000,000 common shares were repurchased at an average price of R$16.13 per share from June 6 through August 29, 2017.

On November 12, 2020, our board of directors approved a new share buyback program for our common shares. We were authorized to buy back up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 common shares.

The acquisition of 7,000,000 common shares had a maximum duration, within the buyback program, of 12 months and expired on November 12, 2021.

16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

In accordance with our policies, which comply with Rule 23/2021 of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”), auditor’s rotation is required in the ordinary course of our business. We conducted a voluntary re-tendering process, during which PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. (“PwC”) was considered one of the candidates for its reelection, however resulting in the election of KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda. (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the next fiscal years starting January 1, 2022. The dismissal of PwC was approved by our Board of Directors on December 9, 2021, following the recommendation from our Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee. PwC is engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 until the filling of this Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

PwC audited our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. None of the reports of PwC on our consolidated financial statements for either of such fiscal years contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2022, there were no disagreements with PwC, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to PwC’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with any reports it would have issued, and there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. PwC did not audit, or perform a review of, any of our financial statements for any period subsequent to December 31, 2021.

We have provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and have requested that they furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. We are including as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 20-F a copy of the letter from PwC as required by Item 16F(a)(3) of Form 20-F.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2022, we did not consult with KPMG regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by KPMG on our financial statements. Further, KPMG did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting or any matter being the subject of disagreement or “reportable event” or any other matter as defined in Item 16F(a)(2) of Form 20-F and Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We are subject to NYSE corporate governance listing standards. As a foreign private issuer, the standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to U.S. listed companies. Under the NYSE rules, we are required only to: (i) have an audit committee or audit board, pursuant to an applicable exemption available to foreign private issuers, that meets certain requirements, as discussed below, (ii) provide prompt certification by our CEO of any material non-compliance with any corporate governance

145

rules and (iii) provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE corporate governance practice required to be followed by U.S. listed companies. The discussion of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. listed companies follows below.

Majority of Independent Directors

The NYSE rules require that a majority of the board of directors must consist of independent directors. Independence is defined by various criteria, including the absence of a material relationship between the director and the listed company, which independence must be affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Likewise, the Novo Mercado Rules require that at least 20%, or at least two, whichever is greater, of the members of the board of directors of a company listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the B3 be independent. Independence of Board members in accordance with the Novo Mercado Rules is defined by criteria similar to those set forth in the NYSE rules.

The members of our board of directors declared they are independent for purposes of the Novo Mercado Rules, except for the representative of the Brazilian government, as a result of the government’s ownership of the “golden share,” and the two representatives of our employees. Our directors meet the qualification requirements of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the CVM requirements and the Novo Mercado Rules.

Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws require that our directors be elected by our shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting. The election of members of our board of directors, absent a request to adopt a cumulative voting system, will be conducted under a system of slate voting whereby voting will be based on a slate of Directors and no voting will be allowed on individual candidates. According to our bylaws, the board of directors will nominate a slate for the subsequent term of office. Our board of directors is appointed by our shareholders for a two-year term, having three reserved seats as follows: (i) one acting member (and his/her alternate) to be appointed by the Brazilian government, as holder of the “golden share” and (ii) two acting members (and his/her alternate) to be appointed by our employees (one board member and his alternate will be appointed by the Employee Investment Club of the Company (CIEMB—Clube de Investimentos dos Empregados da Embraer), and one board member and his alternate will be appointed by the non-shareholder employees of the Company). The remaining eight acting directors are elected in accordance with the slate voting or cumulative voting rules contained in our bylaws. A person may participate in two or more different slates. Each shareholder may only vote on one slate and the slate that receives the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. For additional information on the election of our board of directors, see “Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Board of Directors—Election of Board of Directors.”

Executive Sessions

NYSE rules require that the non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Brazilian Corporate Law does not have a similar provision. According to Brazilian Corporate Law, up to one third of the members of the board of directors can be elected from management. The remaining non-management directors are not expressly required to check on management. Embraer’s board of directors’ rules of procedure provide that the external members of the board of directors (comprising members who do not hold any commercial, employment or management relationship with Embraer) shall meet on exclusive sessions to be held on the same day of and prior to the board of directors meetings to discuss the agenda of the meeting.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s required purpose and detailing its required responsibilities, which include, among other things, identifying and selecting qualified board member nominees and developing a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the company. Members of our board of directors are elected by our shareholders at a general

146

shareholders’ meeting. Although we have not established a nominating/corporate governance committee, as we are not required to do so under applicable Brazilian law, our People and ESG Committee, among other things, performs the same duties imposed to the nominating/corporate governance committee by NYSE rules.

Compensation Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s required purpose and detailing its required responsibilities, which include, among other things, reviewing corporate goals relevant to CEO compensation, evaluating CEO performance and approving CEO compensation levels and recommending to the board non-CEO compensation, incentive-compensation and equity-based plans. Although we have not established a compensation committee, as we are not required to do so under applicable Brazilian law, our People and ESG Committee with no executive power and composed by members appointed by our board of directors, among other things, performs the same duties imposed to the compensation committee by NYSE rules. According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, the total amount available for compensation of our directors and executive officers and for profit-sharing payments to our executive officers is established by our shareholders at the annual general meeting. The board of directors is then responsible for determining the individual compensation and profit sharing of each executive officer, as well as the compensation of our board and committee members. In making these determinations, the board reviews the performance of the executive officers, including the performance of our CEO.

Audit Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have an audit committee that (i) is composed of a minimum of three independent directors who are all financially literate, (ii) complies with the SEC rules regarding audit committees for listed companies, (iii) has at least one member who has accounting or financial management expertise and (iv) is governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s required purpose and detailing its required responsibilities. We have an Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee which meets the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We do not claim an exemption from the listing standards for audit committees.

Embraer’s statutory “Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee” is composed, in its majority, of independent members of our board of directors, and by two external members. For additional information, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practice—Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee.” Because foreign private issuers are subject to local legislation which may prohibit the full board of directors from delegating certain responsibilities to the audit committee, pursuant to Rule 10A-3, audit committees of foreign private issuers may be granted responsibilities, which may include advisory powers, with respect to such matters to the extent permitted by law. Due to certain restrictions imposed by the Brazilian Corporate Law, our Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee, unlike a U.S. audit committee, only has an “advisory” role and may only make recommendations for adoption by the full board of directors, which is responsible for the ultimate vote and final decision. For example, our Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee makes recommendations regarding the appointment of auditing firms, which are subject to a vote of the board of directors. Our Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee complies with Brazilian legal requirements (including “independent directors,” as defined by Brazilian law).

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans

NYSE rules require that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exceptions. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, shareholders must approve all stock option plans. In addition, any issuance of new shares that exceeds our authorized share capital is subject to shareholder approval.

147

Corporate Governance Guidelines

NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. In addition to being subject to the Novo Mercado rules that include rules on corporate governance, we have not adopted any formal corporate governance guidelines. We have adopted and observe, our Policy on Trading in Company Securities and Disclosure of Material Information and Preservation of Confidentiality that requires the public disclosure of all relevant information pursuant to guidelines set forth by the CVM, as well as insider trading rules, which, among other things, establishes black-out periods and requires insiders to inform management of all transactions involving our securities.

In November 2016, after the contribution and comments made by the CVM, the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code, which provides for corporate governance practices guidelines for publicly held companies in Brazil, was released by an institution formed by several market entities, such as the Brazilian Pension System, the Brazilian Association of Publicly-Held Companies, the Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association, the Brazilian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, the Brazilian Association of Capital Markets Investors, the Association of Capital Markets Investment Analysts and Professionals, B3, BRAIN – Brazil Investments and Business, the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance, the Brazilian Investor Relations Institute and the Brazilian Capital Markets Institute.

In June 2017, the CVM approved a new rule, CVM Rule No. 586, which establishes that companies must inform whether they will implement the provisions set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code, or otherwise justify the reasons for non-compliance with those practices. Additionally, the B3 and the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance have issued guidelines for corporate governance best practices in Brazil.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. Applicable Brazilian law does not have a similar requirement. However, we adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct applicable to our officers, directors and employees worldwide, including at the subsidiary level. We believe this code substantially addresses the matters required to be addressed pursuant to the NYSE rules. A copy of our Code of Ethics and Conduct has been filed as Exhibit 11.1 to this annual report. For a further discussion of our Code of Ethics and Conduct, see “—B. Code of Ethics.” We usually review our Code of Ethics every two years. The latest version of the Code of Ethics is the 6th Edition, and was approved on November 7, 2019.

Internal Audit Function

NYSE rules require that listed companies maintain an internal audit function to provide management and the audit committee with ongoing assessments of the company’s risk management processes and system of internal control. Our internal audit reports to the Audit, Risks and Ethics Committee, and risk management and internal control report to the Chief Financial Officer, respectively, assuring the necessary independence and competence to assess the design of our internal control over financial reporting, as well as to test its effectiveness as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Embraer S.A.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Embraer S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board . Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

F-3

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition—Estimated Costs to Complete Long-term Contracts

As discussed in Notes 2.2.25 c), 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and 31 to the consolidated financial statements, US$320.6 million of the Company’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 was generated from long-term contracts. For the Company’s long-term contracts, control transfers over time and revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress in each period towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the measure of progress towards completion requires management judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. As disclosed by management, the Company substantially uses the cost incurred method, using the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred divided by total estimated costs at completion for progress measurement. Revenues are recognized proportionately as costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on the performance obligations, management’s estimation of costs at completion is complex and requires significant judgment. Management has disclosed that there are many factors that can affect the accuracy of cost estimates, including, but not limited to, the projection, changes in circumstances and / or new events, such as contract modification. Additionally, in the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a US$ 40.9 million revenue reduction, due to modifications in the contract with the Brazilian Air Force for the supply of KC-390 aircrafts.

F-4

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition—estimated costs to complete long-term contracts is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment made by management when determining the estimated costs to complete long-term contracts especially in development and construction projects. This in turn led to significant auditor judgment and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating the estimates of the costs to complete, related to the assessment of management’s judgment about the Company’s significant assumptions related to estimated expected labor and material costs.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the determination of estimated costs to complete long-term contracts. The procedures also included, among others, evaluating and testing management’s process for determining the estimate of costs at completion for a sample of contracts, which included evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions related to the estimated expected labor and material costs used by management and considering the factors that can affect the accuracy of those estimates. Evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used involved assessing management’s ability to reasonably estimate costs to complete long-term contracts by (i) performing a comparison of the previous year estimated and actual costs incurred for the contracts; and (ii) evaluating the timely identification of circumstances that may warrant a modification to estimated costs to complete, including actual costs in excess of estimates.

Assessment of impairment for long-lived non-financial assets

As described in Note 2.2.14 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s management performs, on an annual basis, impairment tests of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as well as evaluates impairment indicators for long-lived non-financial assets at each reporting date. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the carrying value of an asset, or a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs, with its recoverable amount, which is determined at the higher between its value in use and fair value less cost to disposal. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. As described in Note 16, to the consolidated financial statements, management determined the recoverable amounts of the assets of the subsidiaries Embraer Portugal Estruturas Metálicas S.A. and Embraer Portugal Estruturas em Compósitos S.A., later classified as non-current assets held for sale, at their estimated fair value less cost to disposal, which resulted in an impairment charge of US$ 45.1 million. Additionally, the recoverable amounts of the remaining assets of the Company´s CGUs were determined by management at their estimated value in use. The process of estimating the recoverable amounts using value in use approach involves management’s significant judgments and assumptions related to growth rates (estimated revenue flow and gross margin) and the discount rate. As described in Note 18, the impairment tests of the remaining assets of the Company´s CGUs resulted in a net reversal in the year of impairment losses of US$ 57.9 million as of December 31, 2021 related to the Executive Aviation segment.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of long-lived non-financial assets is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the value in use measurement for each asset or CGU; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions related to growth rates (estimated revenue flow and gross margin) and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

F-5

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s CGUs. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the value in use estimate of certain CGUs; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to growth rates (reflected in estimated revenue flow and gross margin) and the discount rates . Evaluating management’s assumptions related to growth rates (reflected in estimated revenue flow and gross margin) involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of certain CGUs, (ii) the consistency of Company’s internally developed models which are based on external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the significant assumptions, including the discount rate.

(vi) To conduct other technological, manufacturing, trading and services activities related to the defense, security and power industries.

The Company’s shares (B3: EMBR3, NYSE: ERJ) are listed in the enhanced corporate governance segment of the Stock Exchange in Brazil (“B3”), known as the New Market (“Novo Mercado”). Embraer S.A. also holds American Depositary Shares (evidenced by American Depositary Receipts - ADRs) which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

In accordance with the Company’s by-laws, the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and published on March 9, 2022, and the Form 20-F, which these financial statements are a part of, have been approved by the Company’s executives and reviewed by the Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee of the Company.

1.1 Significant events in the fiscal year and its impacts in the consolidated financial statements

1.1.1 Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

The updated status and related impacts on the Company’s business units are detailed below. The data and details provided below includes operational data, statistics and non-financial data which are not subject to audit procedures by the independent auditors (unaudited).

Defense & Security

In the Defense and Security business unit, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the programs continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic, in terms of operations and supply chain, as a result of the new variant Omicron. The vendors level of production has shown recovery, however still below the pre-pandemic levels, jeopardizing their ability to deliver parts and goods on a timely manner. Logistics for imports and exports is also showing challenges, with higher cycles and costs, by air freight, due to lower availability of international flights, and by container shipping, due to unavailability of containers, increasing the transit cycle of parts. Deliveries agreed with our customers to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021 were performed, however the Company faced delays in the delivery of certain orders during 2021, which postpones revenue recognition and cash receipts, as a result of restrictive measures and sanitary barriers imposed by the pandemic. Adjustments required on committed deliveries were already negotiated with customers. The Company has taken actions to overcome the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 and to minimize its impacts on Defense deliveries, as well as following the sanitary measures to combat the COVID-19.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The Company and the Brazilian Air Force started contractual negotiation process in order to reduce the total number of aircraft that would be delivered based on the current order of 28 KC-390 Millennium aircraft. The reduction was proposed by the customer as a result of government budget constraints caused by the pandemic crisis and high-performance rates of aircraft already delivered. On November 12, 2021, the Brazilian Air Force publicly announced its decision to unilaterally reduce the total value of the KC-390 Millennium aircraft agreement in 25%, as permitted by the applicable law.

On February 9, 2022, the Company reached agreement with the Brazilian Air Force in relation to the contractual negotiation of C-390 Millennium order. Therefore, the total number of aircraft to be acquired by the Brazilian Air Force was reduced from 28 to 22, with deliveries scheduled until 2034. The new level of production fits with the customer budget conditions, as well as enables Embraer to hold a better long-term production planning with suppliers. Further details of related financial impacts are disclosed in Note 3.1.2.

Executive Aviation

In the Executive Aviation business unit, the effect of the Omicron variant on demand did not bring significant negative impacts and the principal remaining risks lie in the possibility of discontinuities in the supply of some parts and supplies to fleet maintenance and the manufacture of new aircraft. As of the date of this report, the production lines of our Executive Aviation products are able to maintain planned supply levels without further shortages. We continue to oversee risks and control the supply chain, accommodating demand to avoid obstacles that may yet arise from this global crisis. During 2021, the Executive Aviation market landscape continued to evolve positively. The recent order of over 100 Phenom 300 jets by U.S. company Netjets totaling more than US$ 1.2 billion (included in the backlog of the Company as of December 31, 2021 as disclosed on Note 31(c)) and the record book-to-bill ratio of 2.5:1 (total amount of firm orders received during the year compared to total revenues recorded in 2021), illustrate the positive timing of the Executive Aviation market. From the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 to the date of these annual financial statements, only one of our executive jet customers has canceled their firm order and some of our executive jet customers have rescheduled aircraft deliveries. In 2021 there were no postponements nor cancellations of orders. The Company delivered a total of 93 executive jets in 2021, thus achieving 8% increase over the volume delivered in the previous year.

Commercial Aviation

In the Commercial Aviation business unit, the extensive traffic disruption affected our customer’s operations throughout the world, similar to the effects observed in the market worldwide. As a result of COVID-19, some of our customers rescheduled their aircraft deliveries, carrying them over to 2021 and beyond, for example, some deferral agreements were executed in 2020 and generated a limited number of deferrals to beyond 2025, which had an impact on our 2020 results. However, since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 until the date of these financial statements, no cancellation has occurred. We cannot fully yet determine the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in the short-to-medium term on our business. Despite of uncertainty scenario in the short-term, we identified positive signs of market recovery, which includes the Porter Airlines’ E195-E2 firm orders for 30 jets, which will be operated in several destinations across North America, as well as Alaska Air’ E175-E1 firm orders for 9 jets, through its subsidiary Horizon Air, and SkyWest, Inc.’ E175-E1 firm orders for 9 jets, all firm orders signed during the first half of 2021. In addition, during the third quarter of 2021, a new firm order for 16 E175-E1 jets to operate as Delta Air Lines was celebrated by SkyWest, Inc., and in the fourth quarter of 2021, a firm order for the purchase of three new E175-E1 was celebrated with Overland Airways, a Nigerian airline, and an agreement with Azorra, a leasing company with headquarters in Florida, USA, for the purchase of 20 new aircraft of the E2 family. This flexible deal enables Azorra to acquire E190-E2 or E195-E2 aircraft. All firm orders disclosed are included in the backlog of the Company as of December 31, 2021, as disclosed on Note 31(c). We also notice a slight recovery in the amount of commercial aircraft delivered, which in 2020 was 44 units and in 2021 we delivered a total of 48 commercial aircraft.

Services & Support

Since the Services & Support business unit comprises parts and services offered and related to the three Embraer segments (Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Defense & Security), which have differences between themselves, the following can be observed in relation to supply of parts and services:

• Business segments that relies upon mostly on the economic activities of developed countries (such as the Commercial and Executive segments, both with its respective business activities more concentrated in the United States and Europe) are surpassing faster than previously expected the negative effects of the pandemic since these countries, by their own turn, presented the fastest vaccination rates for its populations in the global perspective, while other business segments (Defense, in particular) did not present significant changes in terms of business volumes reductions throughout the pandemic due to its intrinsic operating characteristics.

• Relevant trends for both the Commercial (operating activation of once parked or deactivated aircrafts, specially by leasing companies) and Executive (increase in market demand for aircrafts, highlighted by the used aircrafts market) segments also represented additional business opportunities for the products and services under the Services and Support business unit.

• The adverse effects of the pandemic were reflected not only in the customer perspective regarding actual aircraft utilization but also in Embraer’s internal processes dedicated to supporting its clients, a trend highlighted by the increase in actual costs and operating challenges associated to materials transportation.

• Finally, as the vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 continues to move forward and, given the fact that at least until this moment no new variant of the virus has the potential of reinforcing for a longer term the adverse effects of the pandemic, it is expected that all segments associated to the Services & Support business unit continue on its tracks to either recover pre-pandemic business volumes (like the Commercial segment) or to continue its business activities without presenting significative losses associated to its volumes before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (as it is the case with Defense and Executive segments).

1.1.2 Settlement and termination agreement on certain residual value guarantees

On October 28, 2021, the Company executed settlement and termination agreement with the counterparties of certain residual value guarantees therefore finalizing some of its exposure to these instruments. The settlement and termination agreement established the payment of US$ 18.0, which led to a reversal of residual value financial liability (Note 25) that exceeded the amount negotiated in fourth quarter of 2021 in the amount of US$ 50.3 recognized as a reduction of financial expense, net.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company finalized its total exposure to residual value guarantees. The financial liability recognized is related solely to accounts payable of settlement agreements executed, as disclosed in Note 25 and 36.2.

1.1.3 Divestment plan related to the Évora (Portugal) industrial facilities

The sale of all of the shares of the Company’s subsidiaries Embraer Portugal Estruturas Metálicas S.A. (“EEM”) and Embraer Portugal Estruturas em Compósitos S.A. (“EEC”) to Aernnova Aerospace, SAU, headquartered in Spain (“Aernnova”), for the reference price of US$ 172.0, subject to the usual adjustments for this type of transaction on the closing date (the “Transaction”), was approved by the Board of Directors on November 11, 2021 and concluded through a binding agreement signed by the Company on January 11, 2022.

EEM and EEC are currently dedicated to supplying certain components used in the manufacture of aircraft by the Company and by Embraer Executive Aircraft, LLC. After the closing of the Transaction, Aernnova will undertake the operation of EEM’s and EEC’s industrial plants and will ensure the level of production and supply of such components for Embraer aircraft portfolio.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The Transaction is an integral part of the Company’s assets optimization which aims at maximizing facilities use and profitability improvement. In this context, the Company and Aernnova agreed to have supply agreements effective as of closing of the Transaction along with the sale that would ensure the continuous supply of metallic and composite components at competitive fixed prices consistent with the Company’s Strategic Plan.

The terms and conditions of the Transaction were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 11, 2021. Closing of the Transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent and is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2022.

Upon the approval of Board of Directors on November 11, 2021, the conclusion of the Transaction was deemed to be highly probable under IFRS 5, therefore the related assets and liabilities involved was classified and measured as held for sale since that date. The initial measurement as held for sale (Note 16) generated an impairment when compared the carrying amount of net assets to the fair value of the binding offer in the amount of US$ 50.1, being US$ 45.1 recognized as other operating expense, net and US$ 5.0 recorded as income tax expenses (write-off of deferred tax assets). Before that date, there was no indication of impairment at CGU’s level (Note 18) for which those Évora’s assets were allocated.

1.1.4 Signing of Business Combination Agreement with Zanite Acquisition Corporation

Embraer along with two of its subsidiaries (EVE UAM, LLC (“Eve”) and Embraer Aircraft Holding Inc. (“EAH”)), and Zanite Acquisition Corp. (“Zanite”), a publicly held special purpose acquisition company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in the United States, entered into, on December 21, 2021, a Business Combination Agreement. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the Company’s urban air mobility business, which includes the development and certification of electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (“eVTOLs”), the creation of a maintenance and services network for eVTOLs and the creation of an air traffic management system for eVTOLs (the “UAM Business”), will be combined with Zanite and the resulting entity will be publicly traded in the United States (the “SPAC Transaction”).

In connection with the SPAC Transaction, the Company, Eve and EAH also entered into a Contribution Agreement, which governs the transfer of certain assets and liabilities related to the UAM Business to Eve and the transfer of Eve’s units to EAH in preparation for the SPAC Transaction.

The SPAC Transaction will be implemented through an exchange of Eve’s units, which are owned by EAH, for shares of Zanite common stock. After the exchange is effected, Eve will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Zanite and Zanite will change its corporate name to EVE Holding, Inc. (“New Eve”). In connection with the SPAC Transaction, the Company also entered into new agreements to provide products, inputs, and services to Eve which will continue to be effective after the SPAC Transaction is completed.

Upon closing of the SPAC Transaction, EAH will own 237.5 million shares of New Eve’s common stock, representing approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of New Eve as of the closing. EAH will receive 220 million shares in exchange for Eve’s units, and 17.5 million shares against a cash contribution of US$ 175.0, which is part of the Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) structure. The remaining shares of common stock will be owned by the Zanite’s public shareholders, Zanite’s sponsor and certain third-party investors who enter into subscription agreements to purchase shares of Zanite common stock at the closing of the SPAC Transaction, which will result in approximately US$ 237.0 of cash from Zanite Acquisition Corp. and a US$ 305.0 PIPE, anchored by Embraer, Zanite’s sponsor, financial investors and a consortium of leading strategic partners including Azorra Aviation, BAE Systems, Bradesco BBI, Falko Regional Aircraft, Republic Airways, Rolls-Royce and SkyWest, Inc. In connection with such subscription commitments, Embraer has entered into arrangements with certain of such strategic investors to provide them with price protections in the amount of up to their US$ 30.0 aggregate commitments in the form of credits for parts and services or cash in exchange for the transfer of shares to Embraer. New Eve will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will be required to disclose reports and financial information relating to its activities pursuant to the regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This SPAC Transaction is outside the scope of IFRS 3 – Business Combination.

The SPAC Transaction, which has been unanimously approved by Zanite’s board of directors and the Company’s board of directors, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022, subject to approval by regulators, approval of the transaction by Zanite’s shareholders and other customary conditions.

2.1.5 Revision of the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020

During the current year (2021), the Company had identified adjustment in the amount of US$ 31.6 to be corrected in the valuation of certain items booked as inventories of raw materials in periods prior to the January 1, 2020.

Management concluded that the correction of this adjustment does not have material impact over the financial position and performance of the Company previously reported in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2020; however, the correction of this adjustment in the current year results (2021) as an out-of-period adjustment could mislead the understanding of current year performance of the Company and its operating segments. Therefore, the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020, were revised to correct this adjustment retrospectively, impacting the opening balance of shareholders’ equity.

The following schedules presents the revised consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020 and the shareholders’ equity opening balance as of January 1, 2020:

2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

We present below the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Description of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company contributes towards the correct interpretation of the consolidated financial statements, whether on account of the existence of more than one treatment option under the international accounting standards, or due to the complexity of the operation.

2.2.1 Functional and presentation currency

A Company’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and should be the currency that best reflects company’s business and operations. Based on this analysis, management has concluded that the US Dollar (“US$” or “Dollar”) is its functional currency, based on analysis of the following indicators:

• Currency that most influences the prices of goods and services; this is the currency in which the sales price of its goods and services are expressed and settled.

• Currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations most influence the Company’s business.

• Currency that most influences the costs of providing goods or services, i.e., the currency in which the Company’s costs are normally expressed and settled.

• Currency in which the Company largely obtains funds for financial operations and in which it normally receives for its sales and accumulates cash.

2.2.2 Transactions in foreign currencies

Transactions in other currencies (other than the functional currency) are translated into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rates in force on the transaction dates. The amounts are updated at the exchange rates of the reporting dates. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from this translation (in relation to monetary assets and liabilities indexed in currencies other than the functional currency) are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as foreign exchange gain (loss), net. Customer advances and advances to suppliers for goods and/ or services in foreign currencies are translated to the Company’s functional currency in the transaction date and no subsequent translation is recognized.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The results and financial position of foreign subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the Company’s functional currency are translated into the functional currency as follows:

• Assets and liabilities for each statements of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statements of financial position.

• Income and expenses for each statement of income and statements of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

• All resulting exchange differences are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income in the line of translation adjustments.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate, with foreign exchange gain (loss) being recognized as other comprehensive income.

2.2.3 Financial Instruments

a) Financial assets

a.1) Recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes part of the instrument’s contractual arrangements. They are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs attributable to their acquisition or issuance, except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, for which these costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company classifies its financial assets under the following categories: (i) measured as at amortized cost, (ii) measured as at fair value through other comprehensive income and (iii) measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to initial recognition, unless the Company modifies the business model for the management of these financial assets, in which case all affected assets are reclassified on the first day of the new business model.

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset expires or are transferred in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the financial asset are transferred by the Company.

a.2) Classification and subsequent measurement

The Company classifies financial assets as measured at amortized cost only if both criteria are met:

• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows; and

• The contractual terms give rise to cash flows, at specific dates, which relate only to the payments of principal and interest.

Financial assets measured as at amortized cost by the Company includes cash and cash equivalents, certain financial investments, trade accounts receivable, customer and commercial financing, contract assets, guarantee deposits and other financial assets.

Financial assets measured as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are assets held within a business model whose purpose is achieved both through the receipt of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets, as well as their contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are related only to payments of principal and interest.

F-21

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

Changes in fair value of FVOCI financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses due to impairment and exchange variation, including interest calculated using the effective interest method, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as financial expense, net, except for the exchange variation recognized as foreign exchange gain (loss), net. In the derecognition of these financial assets, any amounts accumulated in the consolidated statements of other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statements of income.

All financial assets not classified by the Company as measured at amortized cost or as FVOCI are classified as at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). These assets include financial assets held for active and frequent trading and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Business model evaluation

The Company evaluates the business model objective for the management of financial assets as part of the accounting classification of the instruments. The factors considered in this evaluation are:

• The current financial policy and the objectives set for portfolio management, which includes assessing whether the strategy focuses on contractual interest income, maintaining a determined interest rate profile, the relationship between the duration of the financial assets and related liabilities, expected cash outflows, or the collection of cash flows through the sale of underlying financial assets.

• How portfolio performance is assessed and reported to Management.

• Risks that affect the performance of the business model and how they are managed.

• The frequency, volume and timing of assets sales in prior periods, the reasons for such transactions and future expectations.

(ii) Evaluation if contractual cash flows are only principal and interest payments

To assess whether contractual cash flows are only principal and interest payments, the principal is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at the initial recognition, and interest as a consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with value of principal outstanding during contractual terms, other risks and general costs of loans, as well as the profit margin in the transaction.

This evaluation is made by considering the contractual terms of the financial assets, which includes, in addition to evaluating whether the contractual cash flows are only principal and interest payments, the existence of terms that could change the timing or value of the contractual cash flows which would not meet the definition, including: contingent events, terms that can adjust contractual rates, prepayment and extension of due dates, and terms that limit access to cash flows of specific assets.

b) Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: (i) measured at amortized cost and (ii) fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is a derivative financial instrument, and its changes, including interest, is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Changes in other financial liabilities measured as at amortized cost, including interest and exchange variation, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income under financial income (expenses), net caption, except for the exchange variation recognized as foreign exchange gain (loss), net.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when contractual obligations are withdrawn, canceled or expired. The difference between the extinct book value and the consideration paid (including transferred assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

2.2.4 Cash and cash equivalents and financial investments

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash in transit (amounts paid by our customers or debtors that are pending release by the intervening bank at the reporting date), bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments, maturing within 90 days of the investment date, readily convertible into a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

F-22

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

Amounts related to cash and cash equivalents, which are however not available for use by the Company, are presented within other assets in the consolidated financial statements. Other financial investments with maturities of more than 90 days from the acquisition date are presented as financial investments.

2.2.5 Trade accounts receivable and customer and commercial financing

When making a sale, the Company evaluates its payment terms. If the sale amount is not received immediately, which is the case with aircraft sales, it will be recognized in the trade accounts receivable. The amount receivable when the payment is deferred by the customer is adjusted to present value if applicable, identifying an interest rate compatible with the market at the time of sale and applying it to the amount receivable according to the transaction payment terms.

Expected credit losses are recognized using actual credit loss experiences from the last years and follow-up of prospective trends in the markets and segments that the Company operates. The identified factor is applied to the measurement of expected credit losses and recognition of impairment losses in the consolidated statements of income. The methodology data is reviewed and updated periodically in respect of economic circumstances and market conditions in which the Company operates.

Customer and commercial financing relate to accounts receivable transactions identified with significant financing component. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held a limited number of transactions with significant financing component.

The Company applies the lifetime model to estimate the expected credit losses over receivables recorded as customer and commercial financing. The expected credit losses are estimated considering the customer’s probability of default based on contractual term as defined on each applicable agreement and updated on a reporting date basis. The fair value of collateral components is considered to cover and reduce the credit exposure assumed (whether partially or in its entirety) as well as the expected credit losses recognized.

2.2.6 Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge its operations against the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; they are not used for speculative purposes.

Gains and losses on derivative transactions are recorded in consolidated statements of income, considering the fair value of these instruments. The unearned gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position under derivative financial instruments, and the counterpart in consolidated statements of income under financial expense, net, (Note 34), except for operations to hedge exposure to changes in exchange rate or designated as cash flow hedge, which is recognized as other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.

2.2.7 Hedge accounting

The Company uses hedge accounting to book certain derivative financial instruments applied to hedge risks of fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates in transactions associated with firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions.

On the hedge’s initial designation, the Company formally documents the relationship between hedge instruments and hedged items, including the risk management objectives and the strategy for conducting the transaction, together with the methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of hedge relationship.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as hedge accounting is presented in Note 8. Changes in fair value of hedge instruments and hedge costs booked in other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity are also presented in Note 8.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

a) Fair value hedge

Fair value hedge is applied for derivative financial instruments that hedge the Company against risk of fluctuations in interest rates (hedged risk) of loans and financing.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in income or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps is recognized in income or loss as financial expense, net. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in income or loss within financial expense, net.

b) Cash flow hedge

Cash flow hedge is applied for hedging risks associated with the volatility of cash flows in foreign currency associated with highly probable forecast transaction that will impact income or loss, in this case the payroll expenses of personnel in Brazil settled in Brazilian Real.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in income or loss, within financial expenses, net.

Where option contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions (put and call options of foreign currency), the Company designates only the intrinsic value of the options as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in intrinsic value of the options are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within the shareholders’ equity. The changes in the time value of put and call options that relate to the hedged item (‘aligned time value’) are recognized as hedge costs in other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity.

Amounts accumulated in shareholders’ equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects income or loss.

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in shareholders’ equity at that time remains in shareholders’ equity until the highly probable forecast transaction occurs, when it is reclassified to income or loss along with the gain or loss of forecast transaction. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in shareholders’ equity are immediately reclassified to income or loss within financial expense, net.

c) Effectiveness of hedge accounting

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments, to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.

For fair value hedges, the Company enters into interest rate swaps where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item, as notional value, payment term and cash outflow dates. Since all critical terms matched during the year the hedge relationship was 100% effective.

In the case of cash flow hedges designated to hedge the volatility of payroll expenses settled in Brazilian Real, the Company enters into zero-cost collar financial instruments by buying put options and selling call options of foreign currency with the same counterparty and risk premium zero. The critical terms of financial instruments matched with the terms of hedged risk the put and call options notional value hedges the risk 1:1 (forecast of payroll cash flows in Brazilian Real for fiscal year) and its due date is within the forecast dates of cash outflows throughout the year. The Company asses on a qualitative and prospective basis the cash flow hedge effectiveness. If relevant changes in circumstances affect the terms of the hedged item, as changes in the forecast value of hedged cash outflows in Brazilian Real in comparison to the effective value, the Company performs on a prospective basis the balance of hedge relationship and any ineffective portion is recognized in income or loss within financial expense, net.

2.2.8 Inventories

The Company’s inventories are largely comprised of raw material, work in progress, spare parts and finished goods. Inventories of raw materials are recognized at acquisition cost. Inventories of work in process comprise raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and general production costs attributable to the cost of the inventories. Once the products have been completed, they are recognized as finished products.

Inventories of raw material and spare parts are recognized as at the weighted average cost. Manufactured aircrafts (finished goods) and work in progress are measured at their individual production cost, which is recognized as cost of sales and services in the consolidated statements of income when aircraft are delivered to the customer.

Inventories are assessed periodically to determine whether the net realizable value is higher than its cost and impairment loss is recognized if the book value is higher as cost of goods sold and services rendered.

Provision for obsolescence is recorded for items without activity for over two years and with no planned use in the production program, and to cover expected losses from excess inventories or obsolete work in progress, except for inventories of spare parts, for which the provision is based on technical obsolescence of items without activity for over two years.

The Company holds used aircraft for resale, usually received in trade-in transactions to facilitate new aircraft sales. The book value of these assets is compared periodically with its net realizable value, which is the assets estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell. Any loss identified is recognized as other operating expenses, net in the consolidated statements of income as other operating expenses, net. The estimated selling price of used aircraft is based in the assessment of third party.

2.2.9 Income tax and social contribution

Tax expenses for the year comprise current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, except the portion of deferred income tax related to items recognized directly in the consolidated shareholders’ equity in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax is calculated considering the effective tax laws on reporting date in the countries which the Company operates and generates taxable income, wherein 34% in Brazil, composed of 25% income tax and 9% social contribution on net income.

Management evaluates on a recurring basis uncertain tax positions taken by the Company in the current income tax calculation based on the applicable tax laws, and records a provision, when appropriated, based on the estimated amount to be paid to tax authorities. Further details related to accounting practice related to uncertain tax positions are described in Note 2.2.19.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax asset is recognized solely based on future taxable income available to reverse the temporary differences.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented net in the statements of financial position when there is intention and the legal right is enforceable to offset the amounts in the current income tax calculation, and mainly related to the same legal entity and same tax authority. Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities of different legal entities and/or tax jurisdictions are generally presented gross.

2.2.10 Assets held for sale

An asset or group of assets and liabilities is held for sale when its carrying amount is expected to be recovered mainly through the sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This occurs if the asset is available for immediate sale “as is”, subject only to usual and customary terms for completion of the transaction, when the sale is defined as highly probable.

F-25

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The group of assets and liabilities held for sale (disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less incremental costs directly attributable to the conclusion of sale transaction.

Upon the classification as assets held for sale, the depreciation and amortization of non-current assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right of use, are ceased and no longer recognized in the statements of income due to the expectation of realization of these assets by sale instead of continuous use as.

Impairment losses of assets held for sale, or group of assets and liabilities held for sale, are recognized as other operating expense, net in the statements of income.

2.2.11 Investments

Investments in associates are recorded and valued in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. In the case of exchange variations on foreign investments that use a functional currency other than that used by the Company, such exchange variations are recognized in cumulative translation adjustments within shareholders’ equity, and are only recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the investment is sold or expensed.

2.2.12 Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are recognized by the acquisition, formation or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method based on the asset’s estimated useful life, Note 15. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriated, at the end of each fiscal year.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company.

The Company estimates the residual value for certain aircraft spare parts included in the exchange pool program, which is reviewed by Management and, if necessary, adjusted at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not attribute residual values to other assets as assets are not usually sold and in the event of a sale, the amount is not significant.

The items comprising property, plant and equipment are summarized below:

a) Land - mainly comprises areas on which the industrial, engineering and administrative buildings are located.

b) Buildings and land improvements - mainly plants, engineering departments and offices, and land improvements include parking lots, road systems and water and sewage networks.

c) Facilities - comprise auxiliary industrial facilities that directly or indirectly support the Company’s industrial operations, as well as facilities of the engineering and administrative departments.

d) Machinery and equipment - machinery and other equipment directly or indirectly used in the manufacturing process.

F-26

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

e) Furniture and fixtures - furniture and fixtures used in the production, engineering and administrative departments.

f) Vehicles - mainly industrial vehicles and automobiles.

g) Aircraft - mainly aircraft leased to airlines, and those used to assist in testing new projects.

h) Computers and peripherals - information technology equipment used mainly in the production process, engineering and administration.

i) Tooling - tools used in the Company’s production process.

j) Property, plant and equipment in progress - construction works to expand the manufacturing plants and aircraft maintenance centers.

k) Exchange pool program - the exchange pool program is an operation in which the customer contracts the availability of spare parts for aircraft maintenance. In this program, when it is necessary to change a damaged part, the customer delivers the damaged part to the Company and the Company provides the customer with a part in working order. The damaged part is in turn reconditioned and added to the pool.

2.2.13 Intangible assets, net

a) Development

Research costs are recorded as an expense when they are incurred. Project costs, comprised mainly of expenditure on product development, including drawings, engineering designs and construction of prototypes, are recorded as intangible assets when it is probable that the projects will generate future benefits, taking into account their commercial and technological feasibility, availability of technological and financial resources, and only if the cost can be reliably measured.

Capitalized development costs are amortized from the time at which benefits begin to accrue based on units produced, and the amortized amounts are appropriated to production cost. Revision of the amortization quota is made at least annually.

The Company has agreements with certain key suppliers, hereby denominated partners, who participate in the Company’s research and development projects by contributing cash. The Company records such contributions as financial liability on receipt and when the milestones are completed and amounts not refundable, the contributions are reclassified as reduction of intangible assets (development expenditure) and amortized following the same intangible amortization criteria.

b) Computer software

Software licenses are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as expense as incurred. Development costs directly attributable to identifiable and unique software, controlled by the Company and that is expected to generate benefits greater than the costs for more than one year, are recorded in intangible assets.

2.2.14 Impairment of long-lived assets

At the end of each fiscal year, the Company performs impairment test for all cash-generating units (CGUs) with goodwill generated from business combination allocated and for CGUs with intangible assets still under development and not yet producing (undefined useful life).

CGUs with definite-lived assets (property, plant and equipment, and intangibles) allocated are analyzed, at each quarter, whether there is any indication it might be impaired to perform the impairment test.

F-27

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

Assets are grouped in CGUs taking into consideration the Company’s business model and its monitoring of cash flows. In general, the CGUs are defined in accordance with the families or platforms of aircrafts or other goods and services produced by the Company, irrespective of its geographic location.

The Company applies the value in use concept, using discounted cash flow projections, discounted at an appropriate rate which reflects the investors’ expectations of return. The cash flow projections for the CGUs take into consideration the Company’s medium and long-term strategic plan, based on the characteristics and expectations of the business.

When the impairment test is performed, Management compares the carrying amounts of the Company’s CGUs with its recoverable amounts, which is determined at the higher between its value in use and fair value less cost to sell. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Any impairment losses of a CGU are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the line of other operating income expense, net and allocated to relevant assets of the impaired CGU.

The exception to this concept is aircraft that the Company held in its property, plant and equipment for operating leases purposes, in which the Company acts as lessor. In this case, the aircraft are tested individually using the higher of their value in use and its market value to determine the recoverable amount. For impairment test purposes, the market value is estimated with the assistance of an assessment prepared by third party appraisals and the value in use is determined by the discounted cash flow of lease agreement associated with each aircraft tested, when applicable.

Long-lived assets, except goodwill, adjusted for impairment losses are reviewed subsequently for a potential reversal scenario on the reporting date. Impairment losses recognized over goodwill are not reversed.

The reversal of impairment losses for a cash-generating unit is allocated to the CGU assets, except goodwill, on a pro rata basis and up to the carrying amount of these assets (net of depreciation and amortization). Reversal of impairment losses is recognized in the line of other operating expense, net.

Assets held for sale are tested for impairment in accordance with practice described in Note 2.2.10.

2.2.15 Leases

The lease agreements which the Company act as lessee and are accounted under IFRS 16 mainly refers to lease of buildings, offices, lands and vehicles signed by subsidiaries domiciliated outside Brazil (United States and Europe). The term of those agreements varies in the range of 2 to up 20 years, and the average discount rate applied to the agreements with maturity higher than 5 years is 7% p.a.

a) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets on the lease inception date (that is, the date in which the asset is available for use). The right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any depreciation or impairment losses and are adjusted for any revaluation of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of the recognized lease liability, the initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis considering the lease term and the Company’s intention in renewal options, based on the best estimate on each reporting date. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment test if there is evidence that their carrying amount may be higher than the recoverable amount.

Expenses on the depreciation of the right-of-use asset are recognized as operating expenses in the statements of income for the year.

b) Lease liabilities

On the lease inception date, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made during the lease term, which is measured based on the contract term and renewal options. Lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives received. Variable lease payments not dependent on an index or rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

F-28

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate. After the inception date, the amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the increase of interest, adjustments of installments and reduced for lease payments made. Moreover, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured in case of any modification, a change in the lease term, a change in fixed lease payments or a change in valuation to acquire the underlying asset. Interest is recognized as financial expense, net in the statements of income for the year.

(i) Determination of the lease term:

The Company determines the contractual term as the non-cancelable lease term, plus any period covered by a renewal option, if it is reasonably certain that it is exercised, or any option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that it will not be exercised. The Company has the option, under some of its leases, to maintain the assets for additional periods from three to five years. The Company applies judgment when assessing if it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the renewal option, considering all significant factors that create an economic incentive for the exercise of the renewal.

The Company reassesses the lease term if there is an event or significant change under circumstances that are under its control and affect its capacity to exercise (or not exercise) the option to renew (e.g. a change in the business strategy).

(ii) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases:

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to all its leases with the contractual term below or equal to 12 months from the inception date and without a purchase option. The practical expedient of recognition exemption for low-value assets leases for which the individual amount is below US$ 5 thousand is also applied. Short-term and low-value lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.2.16 Loans and financing

Loans are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently carried at amortized cost (plus charges and interest on a pro rata basis), considering the effective interest rate on each transaction.

Loans are classified as current or non-current liabilities based on contractual terms.

When a substantial period is required for construction or production of an asset before it is ready for use (qualifying asset), the borrowing costs are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. The costs are allocated based on the average rate for all active loans, weighted in accordance with additions in the period. Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by the Company in obtaining funding.

2.2.17 Financial guarantees and residual value guarantees

In certain aircraft sales transaction of the Commercial Aviation, the Company might grant financial or residual value guarantees on delivery of these aircraft, as part of the aircraft sale and financing structure.

The residual amount is guaranteed to the lender in the residual value guarantees based on the expected future value of the aircraft at the end of the funding, subject to a maximum limit, agreed by the contract. Residual value guarantee is measured at fair value through profit or loss on each reporting date with changes recognized as financial expenses, net. The exercise of residual value guarantee can be claimed by the customer in the end of guarantee term if contractual conditions are met or through settlement agreement. The catch-up of residual value guarantee financial liability to the settlement amount is recognized as reduction or increase of financial expenses, net.

Financial guarantees are measured at the time of aircraft delivery (premium received) and recognized as a reduction in sales revenue. The premium income is amortized to the consolidated statements of income on a monthly basis based on the guarantee coverage term.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

If the financial guarantee exercise is probable as a result of significant events occurred, such as filing for bankruptcy of a customer covered by financial guarantee granted, the Company may record an additional provision regarding the probable estimated cash outflow, based on the best estimate of potential losses. Further details regarding potential exposure related to outstanding guarantees are disclosed in Note 25.

2.2.18 Unearned income

Unearned income comprises government grants received by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Government grants are recognized against the expenses in which the resources were used. When government grants are received in advance for research investments they are recorded as unearned income and recognized in the consolidated statements of income to the extent that the resources are invested and contractual milestones are met, as reduction of research expenses.

Government grants for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are recognized as debt (loans and financing) in liabilities until the milestones determined by the granting entity are met. Once the milestones are completed, the grant is recognized as unearned income. This unearned income is recognized in the consolidated statements of income as a reduction of the depreciation expense of the underlying asset it is proposed to subsidize in proportion with the recognition of the expense.

Income earned with non-distributable government grants is allocated from the income of the year to the government grants reserve in shareholders’ equity.

2.2.19 Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities, legal obligations and court-mandated escrow deposit

Provisions – provisions are recognized based on the judgment of the Company’s Management and its legal counsel, the nature of the lawsuits, legal precedent, complexity and court interpretations, whenever the loss is considered probable, when such loss would result in a probable outflow of resources to settle the obligations and when the amounts involved can be reasonably estimated, the provision is recognized. The provision for labor claims is recognized based on the Company’s historical percentage of cash outflows of each demand. The amounts provided represent the Company’s best estimate of the anticipated outflow of resources.

Tax positions - for income tax matters a provision is recognized when the Company’s Management evaluates with the assistance of its legal advisors that an uncertainty over income tax treatments taken during the fiscal years subject to tax authorities’ examinations, or under discussions in administrative or legal instances with tax authorities, is not probable to be accepted by decisions of the court of last resort.

Contingent liabilities – amounts for which disbursement is classified as possible risk of loss are disclosed but not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Where the probability of loss is classified as remote, neither provision nor disclosure are required. For income tax matters under administrative discussion or legal demand with tax authorities, the Company discloses the amounts of income tax treatments taken that in its assessment is probable to be accepted by decisions of the court of last resort.

Legal obligations - relates to tax payables under the Brazilian law for which the Company has accrued the corresponding liability but initiated legal disputes challenging their applicability. Such tax liabilities under discussion are fully recognized as tax payables in the consolidated financial statements.

Court-mandated escrow deposits - recorded as other assets and periodically updated for monetary correction.

2.2.20 Product warranties

Warranty expenditure on aircraft is estimated on the delivery of these products. The estimates are based on historical data that includes, among others, warranty claims and related repair or replacement costs, warranties given by the suppliers, contractual coverage period and warranty patterns for new aircrafts, for which the Company expects higher warranty costs in the launch of new models until the production process matures and increases the platform in service period. The coverage period varies from 3 to 6 years.

F-30

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The Company may be obliged to modify the product to meet the requirements of the certification authorities, or after delivery, due to improvements or to the aircraft’s performance. The costs of such modifications are provisioned when the new requirements or improvements are requested and known.

Management reviews the assumptions and the evolution of warranty related costs periodically, and if appropriated, adjustments to the provision is recorded.

The product warranties balances are presented in the provisions caption in the consolidated statements of financial position, Note 25.1.

2.2.21 Post-retirement benefits

a) Defined contribution

The Company provides defined contribution pension plans for its employees. For the companies incorporated in Brazil, these are managed by EMBRAER PREV - Sociedade de Previdência Complementar.

b) Post-retirement healthcare benefits

The Company and some of its subsidiaries provide healthcare benefits to retired employees.

The planned costs of offering post-retirement healthcare benefits and coverage for dependents are recorded as a provision during the period of employment based on actuarial studies conducted to identify future exposure, based on the following main premises:

i) Discount rate - brings future benefit flows to present value and is defined based on the ratio of Brazilian government securities.

ii) Increase of medical costs rate - represents the increase in the value of medical care and is not applied linearly, as the companies historically tend to take measures to reduce the cost, or even change health plan providers.

iii) Morbidity rate (aging factor) - measures the increased use of health plans in light of the aging population.

iv) Mortality rate - uses the RP-2000 generational table provided by Society of Actuaries (SOA), which shows the rate by age and sex.

v) Probability of Retirement - estimates the probability of retirement by age group.

vi) Churn rate - uses the T-3 Table Service available from the Society of Actuaries (SOA), which shows the average rate of termination of employees by age.

The Company recognizes changes in the provision for the plan against other comprehensive income in the equity valuation adjustments account in consolidated shareholders’ equity, net of taxes, to the extent that there are changes in the assumptions and against consolidated statements of income if there are changes in the costs of the current benefit plan or in the plan’s contractual characteristics.

This provision is reviewed at least annually.

2.2.22 Employee profit-sharing plan

The Company provides a profit-sharing plan for its employees, which is linked to performance targets established in action plans set and agreed at the beginning of each year. The profit-sharing approved by current policy is equivalent to a percentage of a monthly compensation of each employee (varying from 25% to 50%) associated with fulfillment of individual and corporative targets. Provisions are recognized monthly by applying the agreed percentage to the payroll of the Company, recognized in the consolidated statements of income accounts related to the function performed by each employee (costs or expenses).

F-31

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The Company performs advance payment of up to 50% of amounts due for each employee under the profit-sharing plan during the fourth quarter of fiscal year being evaluated, and the remaining portion is not paid until April of next fiscal year when the evaluation of results and targets for fiscal year ended is already completed.

2.2.23 Share-based payment

The Executive Remuneration Policy (PRE) determines that the remuneration of the Company’s management shall be granted as a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) with the objective of retaining and attracting qualified personnel who will make an effective contribution to the Company’s performance. The Company provides one type of share-based remuneration in the form of LTIs during the current fiscal year:

Cash-settled phantom shares plan, in which the amounts attributed to the services provided by the participants are converted into virtual share units based on the market value of the Company’s shares. At the end of the vesting period the participant receives the quantity of virtual shares converted into Real, at the shares’ current market value. The Company recognizes the obligation during the vesting period (quantity of virtual shares proportional to the period) in the same group as the participant’s normal remuneration. This obligation is presented as an account payable to employees and the fair value is calculated based on the market price of the shares and registered as financial expense, net in the consolidated statements of income. The phantom shares plan is a cash-settled share-based payment transaction and therefore has no impact on the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

2.2.24 Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income attributable to Embraer shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year. The Company has no stock options available which could potentially dilute outstanding common shares.

2.2.25 Revenue recognition of contract with customers

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or to be received for the sale of products and services in the ordinary course of business. Revenue is presented net of taxes, returns, reductions and discounts, and in the consolidated financial statements, after eliminating intercompany sales.

a) Revenue from sales of aircraft and spare parts

Revenues from aircraft and spare parts sales are recognized when the control is transferred to the customer, that is, when all recognition conditions are met. Revenues from commercial, executive and agricultural aircraft and spare parts are generally recognized upon delivery or shipment to the customer.

In aircraft sales contracts, the Company normally receives customer advances before the product control is transferred. The Company asserts that there is no significant financing component in this operation.

For the spare parts sale contracts, the client makes the payment after the transfer of control, with average payment term of 30 days.

In sales of aircraft contracts, other performance obligations, such as supply of spare parts, training services, technical assistance and other obligations may be presented, which may or may not be delivered simultaneously to the aircraft delivery. For the Commercial and Executive Aviation contracts, the individual selling price is allocated for these additional performance obligations, and the variable considerations (as discounts), are allocated using the cost-plus margin method. In the Defense & Security aircraft sales, there is no stand-alone price basis considering its high customization, the price is allocated in the performance obligation considering the cost-plus margin method.

For these performance obligations, the revenue is recognized when the control of related product or service is transferred to the customer.

b) Revenue from services

Services revenue are recognized over time of control transfer to the customer, that is, to the extent that services are rendered over time. The performance obligations of such contracts are satisfied and recognized in the consolidated statements of income over time. Services mainly includes technical services, training, maintenance of aircraft and parts, modernization services and support programs.

F-32

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The average payment term is 30 days, and for some services, such as modernization of Defense aircraft, the client’s payment schedule follows a schedule agreed between the parties.

Exchange pool programs and total support programs revenues are recognized monthly during the contract period, because there is no customer use pattern that can be reliably projected, and consist of a fixed rate and part of a variable rate directly related to the hours actually flown by the aircraft covered in these programs.

c) Revenue from long-term contracts (Defense & Security)

In the Defense & Security segment, most of the sales contracts are characterized by the high customization of the products and development of new technologies whose transfer of control to the customer occurs over time of development and production of aircraft or new technology as a single performance obligation. In such contracts, their revenues are recognized over time at amounts equal to the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred at the end of reporting period divided by total estimated costs at completion, multiplied by the allocated price less the cumulative revenue recognized in prior reporting period.

The adequacy of revenue recognition related to development contracts in the Defense & Security segment is based on Management’s best estimates of total estimated costs at completion, as they become evident.

The Company understanding is that the cost incurred method provides the most reliable basis for estimating the progress of contracts whose revenues are recognized over time.

There are no significant financing components in the long-term contracts of the Defense & Security segment. The payment terms are mainly aligned with the stages of execution and deliveries of each contract, as agreed by the Company and the customers, and there is no willingness on either side to finance the other.

d) Contract assets and liabilities

The contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to the consideration for the work completed and not billed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, mainly from long-term Defense & Security contracts that are recognized over time as noted above, and net of customer advances received and expected credit losses recognized. Contract assets are transferred to trade accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Expected credit losses are calculated over the contract assets balances, as detailed in Note 2.2.5.

Contract liabilities refer to non-refundable advance payments received by the Company prior to the delivery of the aircraft and advances of consideration received from customers related to the acceptance of managerial stages/ tasks under long-term contracts of Defense & Security (customer advances), as well as to the supply of spare parts, training, technical assistance and other obligations included in aircraft sales contracts (multiple-element).

e) Costs to obtain a contract

Refers to incremental costs incurred by the Company solely to obtain contracts with customers that will be recovered in the fulfillment of these contracts, such as costs incurred with sales commissions and bank guarantees granted in Defense & Security long-term contracts. Assets for obtaining contracts are capitalized as other assets and amortized when (or as) the related contract revenue is recognized.

2.2.26 Cost of sales and services

Cost of sales and services consists of the cost of the aircraft, spare parts and services rendered, comprising:

a) Material - Materials used in the production process, substantially acquired from foreign suppliers.

F-33

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

b) Labor - comprises salaries and related charges, primarily in Brazilian reais.

c) Depreciation - The Company’s fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line basis over their useful lives.

d) Amortization - Internally generated intangible assets are amortized in accordance with the estimated sales of the series of aircraft. Intangible assets acquired from third parties are amortized on straight-line bases over their estimated useful lives.

e) Product warranties - The Company estimates and records a liability for guarantee obligations related to its products on the date of delivery of the aircraft, based on historical experience and recorded as cost of goods sold.

f) Multiple-element arrangements - The Company enters into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, such as for providing training, technical assistance, spare parts and other concessions. These costs are recognized when the product or service is delivered or provided to the customer.

2.2.27 Financial expense, net and foreign exchange gain (loss), net

Financial expense, net and foreign exchange gain (loss), net principally comprise interest income on cash and cash equivalents and financial investments measured as at amortized cost and FVOCI, financial charges on loans, tax updates and foreign exchange gain (loss) on assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the functional currency (US dollars), on an accrual basis. Gains or losses on fair value changes of FVTPL financial instruments are also recognized as financial expense, net.

Changes in the fair value of the residual value guarantees and income or loss on the provision and implementation of derivative financial instruments capitalized are also recorded as financial expense, net in the consolidated statements of income.

Financial income and expense exclude borrowing costs attributable to acquisitions, buildings or the contribution of qualifying assets that require a substantial period to be ready for use or sale.

2.2.28 Statement of cash flows

The statement of cash flows was prepared using the indirect method.

2.2.29 Segment reporting

Operating segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reports provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources among and assessing the performance of the operating segments and for making strategic decisions, is the Chief Executive Officer.

Generally, balances and transactions that are not directly allocated to a specific operating segment but contributed to its operations, such as corporate area expenses, are appropriated on pro-rata basis, using revenue from each segment as an allocation factor.

3. Critical accounting estimates and significant judgements

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expense and their disclosure. Therefore, variables and assumptions derived from historical experience and other factors deemed relevant were used in preparing accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this report. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and the changes to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised on a prospective basis.

F-34

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The significant accounting policies, including the variables and assumptions used in the estimates, and the relevant sensitivity of those judgments to different scenarios and conditions are described below:

3.1. Revenue from long-term contracts (Defense & Security)

3.1.1 Estimated costs at completion of contracts

In the Defense & Security segment, a significant portion of revenue is derived from long-term contracts with the Brazilian and foreign governments, recognized over time by the cost incurred method (Note 2.2.25 – c), using the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred divided by total estimated costs at completion for progress measurement.

During the contract execution, the Company assesses the costs incurred, adjusting total estimated costs at completion if necessary, to reflect variations in costs in relation to the projections, mainly due to changes in circumstances and new events, such as contract modification. Any resulting increase or decrease in estimated revenues or costs at completion is recognized as catch-up adjustment in the consolidated statements of income, increasing or decreasing revenue and gross margin, in the reporting period which the circumstances that give rise to the change become known by Management.

In a hypothetical scenario of 10% increase or decrease over Management’s projection of estimated costs at completion of long-term contracts in progress during 2021, the Company’s revenue and gross margin in the year would be lower in US$ 88.7 or would increase by US$ 98.9, respectively.

3.1.2 Contract modifications

Contract modification is a change in scope, price or both of contracts with customers. On long-term contracts of the Defense & Security segment, contract modification might occur as a result of changes in price due to escalation, rebalance of price due to changes in cost structure, increase or decrease of scope, as well as adjustment to deliverables timeline. Management is required to review the assumptions of revenue recognition for long-term contracts recognized over time when a contract modification is enforceable (revenue and estimated costs at completion).

Contract modification is solely adjusted in revenue recognition of a long-term contract when the subject of modification is approved by the parties of the original contract, which is usually achieved in the signature of contract amendment in the Defense & Security business unit. A contract modification might also exist when the parties to the original contract had discussions regarding scope or price (or both) of the modification, if the changes in rights and obligations of the parties as a result of modification are enforceable under the terms of the original contract and/or the applicable law.

As disclosed in Note 1.1.1 - Defense & Security, during 2021 the Company and the Brazilian Air Force engaged in negotiations for potential reduction of total aircraft that will be delivered under the original sales order for 28 aircraft KC-390 Millennium (decrease of scope). On November 12, 2021, the Brazilian Air Force publicly announced its decision to unilaterally reduce the total value of the KC-390 Millennium aircraft agreement in 25%, as permitted by the applicable law. The terms to the contract modification were approved and formalized by the parties in the contract amendments signed on February 9, 2022, including, among others, (i) reduce from 28 to 22 the total number of KC-390 Millennium aircraft to be delivered and (ii) adjust other contractual clauses as compensation for the reduction mentioned in the previous item to mitigate the impacts for the Company (rebalance of price).

Although the signature of contract amendments had occurred in the beginning of 2022, the Company determined the effects of the modification must be considered in revenue recognition of KC-390 Millennium contract with the Brazilian Air Force in 2021. The unilateral decision to reduce the total contract by 25% announced in 2021 supports the existence of contract modification on this period, since the reduction of 25% is permitted by the applicable law, which also defines Embraer right to claim the rebalance of price as a result of cost increase caused by the reduction. The terms of contract amendments signed in 2022 corroborates the changes in scope and price permitted by the applicable law and known as of December 31, 2021. Therefore, the effects of contract modification generated by such contract amendments caused cumulative adjustment of US$ 40.9 on December 31, 2021, reducing revenue, gross margin and contract assets of the Company in the end of year.

3.2. Impairment of long-lived assets

The impairment test performed considers the Company’s medium and long-term strategic plan cash flows, brought to present value at an appropriate discount rate compatible with the market and that reflects the shareholders’ expectations of return. In preparing or using this information, the Company uses certain estimates, as follows:

a) Gross expected cash flow - the Management projects inflows and outflows based on past performance considering its business strategy and market development expectations. These projections also consider the efficiency gains planned for the product cycle.

b) Growth rates - the growth rates are reflected in the revenue flow and the gross margin budgeted by the Company, consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports.

c) Discount rates - an appropriate discount rate is used that reflects the expected return of investors at the time the calculation is made. This rate is also compared with the market to confirm its consistency.

d) Foreign exchange rate USD/BRL - future cash flows for certain cash-generating units with revenue primarily consisting of U.S. dollars (such as the Commercial and Executive Aviation units) are sensitive to volatility and structural changes at the level of US$/R$ exchange rates since certain general production costs and expenses are incurred in Brazilian Real (such as payroll). The depreciation of R$ in relation to US$ may have a positive impact on future cash flows, while appreciation of R$ may result in a reduction in future cash flows at these cash-generating units and possible impairment losses. The Company makes use of derivative financial instruments providing protection for short-term volatility as described in Note 8.

Additional information on the impairment test are disclosed in Note 18.

4. New accounting standards and interpretations

Replacement of Libor and other interbank offered rates - Phase 2 (applicable on or after January 1, 2021)

The changes brought about during Phase 2 of the benchmark interest rate reform (London Interbank Offered Rate - Libor and other benchmark interest rates - Interbank Offered Rates – IBORs), involve issues that may come to affect financial statements during benchmark interest rate reform, including the effects of changes to contractual cash flows or hedge relationships originating from the replacement of benchmark interest rates with an alternative benchmark rate. These changes offer practical expedients for certain requirements provided under IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 in relation to changes made to the base used to determine hedge relationships and requirements regarding the disclosure of risk exposure, risk management, and the development of IBOR transitions.

The Company is taking action together with counterparty financial institutions in order to mitigate potential risks created by the reform and discontinuing of Libor. The Company does not expect any material impacts nor impacts to current hedge relationships, since the loans and financing linked to the Libor interest rate have their maturity before the final date of the interest rate transition, as well as obligations towards financial institutions with later maturity have also contractual provision to change the reference interest rate

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company. These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

• Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use – Amendments to IAS 16

• Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract Amendments to IAS 37

• Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Amendments to IAS 1

8. Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are contracted to protect the Company’s operations from exchange and interest rate fluctuations and are not used for speculation.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had the following operations:

• Swap operations, with the main objective of changing the debts index, from floating rates to fixed interest rates or vice versa, exchange of Real to US Dollars and vice versa. The fair values of these instruments are measured by the future flow, determined by applying contractual interest rates to maturity, and discounted to present value at the date of the financial statements by the prevailing market rates.

• Purchase of sell and by currency options, in order to protect cash flows for the parent company’s wage costs denominated in Reais, against the risk of currency fluctuations. The financial instrument used by the Company is a zero-cost collar, which consists of the purchasing of a put option and the sale of a call option, contracted with the same counterparty and with a zero-net premium. The fair value of this instrument is determined by the observable market pricing model (through market information providers) and widely used by market participants to measure similar instruments.

• Non-deliverable forward (NDF), with the purpose of protecting the Company against the risks of exchange rate fluctuations. The fair value is determined by the observable market pricing model.

18 Impairment of assets

For the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021, the Company performed impairment tests over its long-lived assets (fixed assets, intangible assets, including goodwill, and right of use assets) of the cash-generating units (“CGU”) to which goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are allocated, as well as for the additional CGUs with long-lived assets, due to the current crisis scenario associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged a necessity for the Company to reassess its strategies and the impacts on its business as the crisis evolves, change in the designation of certain assets to held for sale (Note 1.1.3) and relevant renegotiation of KC-390 Millennium contract with the Brazilian Air Force (Note 1.1.1) impacting the related CGU.

The following chart presents the changes on impairment losses through the year:

	12.31.2020		Additions		Reversal			Amortization			12.31.2021
Cash-generating units
Mid-Size / Super Mid-Size Platform		60.4		—		(57.9	)		(2.5	)		—
Satellites		3.8		1.6		—			—			5.4
		64.2		1.6		(57.9	)		(2.5	)		5.4
Allocation of impairment losses
Fixed assets - Machinery and equipment		11.3										—
Fixed assets - Tooling		1.5										—
Intangibles - Internally developed		51.4										5.4
		64.2										5.4
Operating segments (Note 38)
Executive Aviation		60.4										—
Defense & Security		3.8										5.4
		64.2										5.4

As a result of impairment tests performed, the Company identified reversal scenario for the accumulated impairment losses recognized before over the Mid-Size and Super Mid-Size Platform (Executive Aviation) due to (i) improvements in the economic scenario of Executive Aviation market as detailed in Note 1.1.1 — Executive Aviation, which can also be observed by the operations results achieved in 2021 (Note 38) and (ii) devaluation of Brazilian Real to the U.S. dollars of 7% in 2021, which contributes to reduction of cash outflows in Brazilian Real (increase in the exchange rate would decrease CGU’s production costs, or vice versa).

Except for the sensitivity analysis presented as follows of the main CGUs of the Company, the remaining CGUs present headroom falling in range of approximately 50% to 1,000% when compared the recoverable amount measured by its value-in-use and its carrying amount in reporting date. Therefore, Management concluded there was no significant risk of impairment loss in these CGUs, considering the assumptions applied in the sensitivity analysis of this reporting period.

The sensitivity analysis presented demonstrates how changes to certain key assumptions in the impairment test of the main CGUs of the Company would change the test results.

E2 Platform (Commercial Aviation)

The impacts over future cash flows related to the decision to pause for three years in the development of the E175-E2 aircraft, approved by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2022, was considered by Management in the impairment test of the E2 Platform CGU as of December 31, 2021, and did not result in impairment losses.

Key assumption	Factor	Sensitivity	Impact in impairment test
Estimated aircraft deliveries during the useful life of platform up to 2045 and keeping current market share	—	5%	Negative changes of 5% in the estimated volume of deliveries would cause impairment losses of US$ 10
Discount rate	10.7%	100bps	Increase of 100bps in the discount rate would cause impairment losses of US$ 114
Foreign exchange rate (US$/R$) – rate applied to translate cash flows generated in foreign currency (R$) to the functional currency (US$)	R$ 5.5805	10%	Reduction of 10% in foreign exchange rate (US$/R$) would cause impairment losses of US$ 179

Estimated aircraft deliveries during the useful life of platform up to 2041 and keeping current market share	—	5%	Negative changes of 5% in the estimated volume of deliveries would cause reduction in the CGU headroom from US$ 260 to US$ 231
Discount rate	10.7%	100bps	Increase of 100bps in the discount rate would cause reduction in the CGU headroom from US$ 260 to US$ 240
Foreign exchange rate (US$/R$) – rate applied to translate cash flows generated in foreign currency (R$) to the functional currency (US$)	R$ 5.5805	10%	Reduction of 10% in foreign exchange rate (US$/R$) would cause reduction in the CGU headroom from US$ 260 to US$ 241

Key assumptions of impairment test:

• Impairment tests as of December 31, 2021 were prepared based on value-in-use applying the discounted cash flow method and ‘traditional’ approach as defined by IAS 36, which the Company understands that is not substantially different of the CGUs fair value less cost to sell under current market conditions. The process of estimating value-in-use involves assumptions, judgements and projections of future cash flows.

• The Company revised the identification of its CGUs for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021 and did not identified changes as compared to the structure observed on December 31, 2020, The reclassification of certain assets to held for sale in 2021 did not impact the identification and current structure of CGUs.

• Estimated future cash flows were discounted using the weighted average capital cost rate, which is reconciled to an estimate discount pre-tax rate of 10.7% and 10.5% as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

• Part of the estimated future cash flows were budgeted in Brazilian Reais and converted into Company’s functional currency (US$) based on observable conversion rates on December 31, 2021 of R$ 5.5805. The depreciation of the Real versus the US Dollar occurred in 2021 of 7% has a positive impact on future cash flows due to the reduction of cash outflows indexed in Reais (cost of products sold and general expenses). However, the appreciation of the Real in future periods might cause reduction of future cash flows and possible impairment losses.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

(i) The Company’s risk-sharing suppliers/partners develop and produce significant aircraft components, including engines, hydraulic components, avionics, wings, tail sections, interior components, and fuselage parts. Certain contracts between the Company and these risk-sharing suppliers/partners are long-term and include deferral of payments for components and systems for a negotiated term after delivery. Once the risk-sharing suppliers/partners have been selected and the aircraft development and production program has commenced, changing suppliers is more challenging. For example, in the case of engines, the aircraft is specially designed to accommodate a given component, which cannot be easily replaced by another supplier without incurring delays and significant additional expense. This dependence makes the Company vulnerable to the performance, quality and financial position of its risk-sharing suppliers/partners.

20 Trade accounts payable – Supplier finance arrangements

The Company has entered into agreements with financial institutions for the purposes of carrying out commercial operations with domestic and foreign suppliers. During these transactions, suppliers can exclusively transfer at their discretion, the right to receive titles issued against the Company to these financial institutions, which in turn comes to be the creditor of discounted instruments. This operation does not significantly alter the prices and commercial conditions previously negotiated by the Company with its suppliers. As of December 31, 2021, the total amount transferred to the financial institution by suppliers was US$ 14.8 with an average payment period of 120 days.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

By means of such administrative and judicial proceedings, the Company has obtained injunctions and similar measures to suspend payment or offset payment of taxes and social contributions and charges. Provisions have been recorded for taxes not paid, as a result of preliminary legal decisions, and are updated based on the SELIC interest rate, pending a final and definitive decision. In some cases, the Company maintains judicial deposit for the continuity of the judicial proceedings.

(i) Corresponds substantially to:

• Since February 2009, the Company filed a suit contesting the payment of social security on paid notice of dismissal and other indemnity payments. In October 2015 the Company obtained partial success in the dispute in relation to the employer’s portion of the Social Security on the paid notice, and therefore reduced the amount of the provision by US$ 2.5. The partial success was ratified in November 2017. Currently, the remaining amount involved in the dispute in respect of the notice established in the collective agreement and 1/3 of vacation benefit and other benefits is US$ 9.8 on December 31, 2021 (US$ 11.6 on December 31, 2020). In 2021 the reduction observed relates to favorable outcome to the Company of the notice established in the collective agreement in the amount of US$ 1.7.

Included in the amounts presented as INSS, there are also discussions of several notices received related to withhold taxes in the payment of third-party services (tax rate of 11%) in the updated amount of US$ 1.7.

• As highlight of 2021, the Company received favorable outcome in the discussion to guarantee the right to not collect social security contributions according to the system established by Law 13,670 / 2018 in 2018 (maintenance of the Social Security Contribution on Gross Revenue - CPRB until 12/31/2018). The amount involved in the discussion until March 2021 was US$ 27.2 and was divided into two separated legal demands. As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved and recorded as taxes and payroll charges payable is US$ 4.9 due to the favorable outcome received by the Company related to the 2018 legal demand on May 2021, reducing the exposure in the amount of US$ 24.5.

(ii) Refers to:

• Contributions to the PIS/PASEP fund (Social Integration Program / Public Servant Fund). The dispute, involving the calculation base for the non-cumulative system, was included under the terms of Law 11,941/09, and the suit was withdrawn. The Company continues to contest criteria for application of the benefits of refinancing in the ambit of the legal dispute.

With respect to the legal disputes mentioned above, the tax payable will be recorded until there is an favorable outcome of the demands to the Company and no further appeals can be made.

24 Income taxes

As the tax basis for the majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities is maintained in reais and the accounting basis is measured in US dollars (functional currency), the fluctuations in the exchange rate significantly impacted the tax basis and, in turn, the deferred income tax expense (benefit).

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences on non-deductible provisions, represented mainly by contingencies loss provisions, product warranties, financial guarantees and unearned income will be realized as such proceedings are concluded.

24.4 Uncertainty over income tax treatments (IFRIC 23)

The Company and its subsidiaries held certain discussions with Brazilian tax authorities over administrative and judicial matters related to uncertain treatments adopted when calculating income tax and social contribution on net income, their prognostic assessment was that the chosen tax positions will probably be accepted by the authorities, based on internal and external evaluation by legal advisors. A summary of these processes, related contingent liabilities and their potential effects is presented in Note 26.2 (ii), (iii), (iv), (v).

26.2 Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are amounts classified as possible losses, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, in the opinion of the Company’s legal department, supported by its external counsel. When the contingent liability arises from the same set of circumstances as an existing provision, the type of the corresponding provision is indicated at the end of the description. The Company’s main contingent liabilities are listed below:

(i) The Company has a legal dispute over AIIM on SAT / Agentes Nocivos from 2003 in the amount of US$ 5.6 on December 31, 2021 (US$ 6.0 on December 31, 2020).

(iv) The Company has a dispute on the 2007 Tax Assessment Notice regarding the validity of the provisions contained in the Normative Instruction No. 213/02, which determined the taxation of profits from abroad through the application of Brazilian rules. The dispute involves transfer pricing in loans between associates, equity method, among others. On September 1, 2010, decadence had been accepted to exclude the requirements of the first three quarters of 2002, and it was determined to carry out diligence to collect information requested by the National Treasury Attorney (Procuradoria da Fazenda Nacional - PNF). In April 2019 the judge trial was converted into diligence. The amount is US$ 155.9 on December 31, 2021 (US$ 157.9 on December 31, 2020).

(v) The Company has a discussion on the disallowance of credits launched in several PERDCOMPs (electronic request for reimbursement or refund and tax offset statement program in Brazil) in the amount of US$ 58.1 on December 31, 2021 (US$ 56.8 on December 31, 2020).

(vi) Other tax lawsuits in the amount of US$ 7.0 on December 31, 2021 (US$ 0.5 as of December 31, 2020). In addition, on February 2021, the Company received tax notice related to supposed claims of ICMS DIFAL in 2016 in the updated amount of US$ 6.0 on December 31, 2021. However, the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal - STF) had called ICMS DIFAL unconstitutional, the Company understands such subject must be disclosed as contingent liabilities since the matter could still be discussed by the Brazilian Tax Authorities in the coming periods.

(vii) The Company has contingent liabilities amounting to US$ 20.7 on December 31, 2021 (US$ 26.8 on December 31, 2020) related to several labor claims. 

Items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) described above relates to income tax matters as disclosed in Note 24.4.

26.3 FCPA investigations and settlements

In October 2016, the Company entered into definitive agreements with the United States and Brazilian authorities for the resolution of criminal and civil violations of the United States (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or FCPA) and for the resolution of allegations regarding violations of certain Brazilian laws in four aircraft transactions outside Brazil between 2007 and 2011. In February 2017, the Company entered into an Exoneration Agreement with the Mozambican authorities for collaboration with the investigations in that country and under which there are no financial obligations for Embraer. In July 2018, the Company and the Attorney General’s Office of the Dominican Republic entered into a collaboration agreement whereby the Company undertook to collaborate with the investigations in that country.

Related proceedings and developments are ongoing and could result in additional fines and other sanctions and adverse consequences, which may be substantial. The Company believes that there is no adequate basis at this time for estimating accruals or quantifying any contingencies with respect to these matters and its developments.

The Company will continue to cooperate with governmental authorities, as circumstances may require

26.4 Arbitration Proceedings - The Boeing Company (“Boeing”)

Embraer is pursuing all appropriate remedies against Boeing for damages suffered by Embraer due to wrongful termination and violation of the MTA and Contribution Agreement by Boeing, including by means of arbitration proceedings initiated by both sides in connection with the termination of the MTA and/or the Contribution Agreement by Boeing. There are no guarantees with respect to the timing or outcome of arbitration proceedings or any remedies that Embraer may receive or loss that Embraer may suffer as a result of or in connection with such arbitration proceedings.

26.5 Post-retirement benefits

26.5.1 Post-retirement healthcare benefits provided by the Company

The Company provided healthcare plan for employees in Brazil, which based on its conditions, is classified as a post-employment benefit. Under this healthcare plan, employees who retire from the Company have the option of remaining in the plan, contributing the full amount charged by the insurance company. However, due to certain rules for increases under Brazilian law, there could be times the contribution made by the retired employees is insufficient to cover the medical plan costs, which would represent exposure for the Company. The actuarial liability recognized as of December 31, 2021 was US$ 36.5 (US$ 24.7 as of December 31, 2020). The increase observed in 2021 is related to remeasurement of the plan based on updated actuarial assumptions and increase of inflation associated with healthcare.

Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc. (domiciliated in the United States of America) sponsors a post-retirement healthcare plan for employees hired up to 2007. The expected costs of pension and provision of post-employment medical benefit for the individual employees and their dependents are provided on an accrual basis based on actuarial studies and the calculation is reviewed annually. The actuarial liability recognized as of December 31, 2021 was US$ 2.9 (US$ 3.2 as of December 31, 2020).

26.5.2 Defined contribution pension plan

The Company and certain subsidiaries in Brazil sponsor a defined contribution pension plan for their employees, participation in which is optional. The Company’s contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were US$ 12.0 and US$ 12.3, respectively.

27.2 Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to generate estimates of fair values. Consequently, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that might be realized in current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated realizable values.

Embraer S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each category of financial instrument for which it is possible to estimate the fair value.

The carrying amounts of cash, financial investments, accounts receivable, contract assets, customer and commercial financing, other financial assets and current liabilities are approximately at their fair values. The methods below were used to estimate the fair value of other class of financial instruments for which fair value is adopted.

Financial investments – The fair value of securities measured at amortized cost is estimated by the discounted cash flow methodology. For investments in corporate bonds, the unit price on the last trading day at the end of the reporting period is multiplied by the amount invested.

Loans and financing – The fair value of bonds is the unit price on the last trading day at the end of the reporting period multiplied by the quantity issued.

For other loans and financing, fair value is based on the amount of contractual cash flows and the discount rate used is based on the rate for contracting of a new transaction in similar conditions or in the lack thereof, on the future curve for the flow of each obligation.

The Company considers “fair value” to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observable inputs. The three Levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

• Level 1 - quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives and listed equities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no financial instrument classified as Level 1.

• Level 2 - pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as swaps or over-the-counter forwards and options.

• Level 3 - pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in Management’s best estimate of fair value. At each reporting date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Changes in the fair value of financial instruments classified as Level 3 are recognized in profit or loss for the year as financial expense, net.

The following table lists the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of an input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. On December 31, 2021, there were no changes in the fair value methodology of the financial instruments and, therefore, there were no transfers between levels.

27.3 Financial risk management policy

The Company has and follows a risk management policy, which involves the diversification of transactions and counterparties, with the objective of identifying the risks related to the financial transactions, as well as the operational directives related to these financial transactions. The policy provides for regular monitoring and management of the nature and general situation of the financial risks in order to assess the results and the financial impact on cash flows. The credit limits and risk rating of the counterparties are also reviewed periodically.

The Company’s risk management policy is part of the financial management policy established by the Executive Directors and approved by the Board of Directors and provides for monitoring by a Financial Management Committee. Under this policy, the market risks are mitigated when there are no offsetting elements in the Company’s operations and when it is considered necessary to support the corporate strategy. The Company’s internal control procedures provide for consolidated monitoring and supervision of the financial results and of the impact on cash flows.

The Financial Management Committee assists the Financial Department in examining and reviewing information in relation to the economic scenario and its potential impact on the Company’s operations, including significant risk management policies, procedures, and practices.

The financial risk management policy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations and to reduce the exposure to exchange rate risk. The use of these instruments for speculative purposes is forbidden.

27.3.1 Capital management

The Company uses capital management to ensure the continuity of its investment program and offer a return to its shareholders and benefits to its stakeholders and to maintain an optimized capital structure in order to reduce costs.

The Company may review its dividends payment policy, payback capital to the shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets in order to maintain or adjust its capital structure (to reduce indebtedness, for instance).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

Liquidity and the leverage level are constantly monitored in order to mitigate refinancing risk and to maximize the return to the shareholders. The ratio between the liquidity and the return to the shareholders may be changed pursuant to the assessment of the Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2021, the cash and cash equivalents and financial investments were lower than the financial indebtedness of the Company (net debt) by US$1,392.2 (US$ 1,695.7 as of December 31, 2020).

Of the total financial indebtedness as of December 31, 2021, 14% was short-term (8.5% as of December 31, 2020) and the average weighted term was equivalent to 3.7 years on December 31, 2021 (4.4 years as of December 31, 2020).

27.3.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a counterparty to a transaction not meeting an obligation established in a financial instrument, or in the negotiation of sales to customers, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk in its operational activities, cash held in banks and other investments in financial instruments held in financial institutions.

• Cash and cash equivalents and financial investments

The credit risk of cash and cash equivalents and financial investments which is managed by the Financial Department is in accordance with the risk management policy. The credit limit of counterparties is reviewed on a daily basis in order to not to exceed the limits established mitigating possible losses generated by the bankruptcy of a counterparty, as well as transactions are carried out with counterparties with investment grade by risk rating agencies (Fitch, Moody’s e Standard and Poor’s). The Financial Management Committee assists the Financial Department in examining and reviewing operations with counterparties.

• Trade accounts receivable, contract assets with customers and customer and commercial financing

The Company may incur losses on amounts receivable from sales of spare parts and services to customers. To reduce the risk, Management performs an internal credit risk analysis which considers qualitative factors, such as past experiences, and quantitative factors, when applicable, related to external financial information. If the risk increases and/ or the customer present overdue amounts, the supply of spare parts and services can be stopped by the Company, which impacts its fleet operations.

The Company applies IFRS 9 simplified approach to the measurement of expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable balances (Note 7) without significant financing component.

In order to calculate the expected credit losses, receivables are grouped by the period the items are outstanding, and an expected loss factor is applied based on actual credit loss experiences of each past period, which gradually increases as long as the receivable remains outstanding in portfolio. For receivables not overdue, the expected credit loss is calculated using past 10 years’ experience of losses and monitoring of forward trends. As of December 31, 2021, the initial expected loss factor under the methodology was 1.3% (1.4% in 2020), except for the customers of the Commercial Aviation business unit.

As a result of the economic downturn environment generated by the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its significant impacts mainly related to the commercial jets market (Commercial Aviation), the Company applied economy trends and customers data based on the main rating agencies in order to estimate the expected credit losses over the short-term receivables of such business unit during the crisis and defined the expected loss factor in the period to 7.7% (11.6% as of December 31, 2020). In addition, customers with significant increase in credit risk in the period (under judicial recovery measures or bankruptcy processes), were subject to a case-by-case analysis and an additional provision was recognized based on the Management’s best estimate. As of December 31, 2021, reversal of expected credit losses provision was recognized due to the beginning of recovery out of the crisis and related improvements in the credit risk of customers, as disclosed in Note 7.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

Contract assets refer to contracts in progress that have not been billed, mainly related to development contracts recognized over time in the Defense & Security segment.

The credit risk characteristic of the Company’s customers is different for the Defense & Security segment, since the counterparties refer only to government entities and agencies. The risk in this case is associated with the sovereign risk of each country, especially Brazil, as well as with the continuity of strategic projects under development, for which the Company usually has the enforceable right to receive for the performance completed to date. The Company historically has not presented losses in the trade accounts receivable and contract assets balances with these counterparties. As of December 31, 2021, there was a limited number of demands with Defense & Security customers under administrative and legal treatments in relation to commercial relationships already terminated and for which, due to the actual status of the demands, the Company recorded an expected credit loss provision in the amount of US$ 2.4 (US$ 3.4 as of December 31, 2020).

Trade accounts receivable and contract assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indications include, among others, the inability of the debtor to participate in a plan to renegotiate its debt or possible legal actions have been exhausted.

Further details related to expected credit losses recognized over the customer and commercial financing balances are disclosed in Note 9.

• Other financial assets

Other financial assets measured as at amortized cost includes guarantee deposits, collateralized accounts receivable, court-mandated escrow deposits and loan with joint operation. The result of the expected credit losses model set forth in IFRS 9 for other financial assets was immaterial.

Also, the Company has guarantees, such as guarantee deposits in financial institutions rated as investment grade, pledge assets or other contractual guarantees, which also mitigates the risk of financial loss in these assets.

27.3.3 Liquidity risk

This is the risk of the Company not having enough funds to honor its financial commitments as a result of a mismatch of terms or volumes of estimated receipts and payments.

Projections and assumptions are established to manage the liquidity of cash in U.S. dollars and Reais, in accordance with the financial management policy, based on contracts for future disbursements and receipts, and monitored periodically by the Company. Accordingly, possible mismatches are detected well in advance allowing the Company to adopt mitigation measures to reduce risks and financial cost.

The table above shows the outstanding principal and interest if applicable at the maturity dates. In the case of the fixed rate liabilities, interest expense was calculated based on the rate established in each debt contract. Interest expense on floating rate liabilities was calculated based on a market forecast for each period (e.g. LIBOR 6m - 12m).

27.3.4 Market risk

a) Interest rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses on the fluctuation of floating interest rates, which might increase financial expenses of financial liabilities, and/ or decrease financial income of financial assets, as well as negatively impacting the fair value of financial assets measured as at fair value. The lines of the consolidated financial statements most affected by interest rate risks are:

• Cash, cash equivalents and financial investments – the Company’s policy for managing the risk of fluctuations in interest rates on financial investments is to maintain a system to measure market risk, which consists of an aggregate analysis of variety of risk factors that might affect the return of those investments.

• Loans and financing – the Company monitors financial markets with the purpose of evaluate hedge structures (derivative transactions) in compliance with the financial and risk management policy to protect its exposure risks of volatility in foreign currency and interest rates.

On December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, financial investments and loans and financing were indexed as follows:

Without derivative effect	Fixed interest rate					Variable interest rate					Total
	Amount		%			Amount		%			Amount		%
Cash, cash equivalents and financial investments		2,559.6		97.15	%		75.2		2.85	%		2,634.8		100.00	%

EURIBOR		5.8		1.13	%		5.9		2.64	%

b) Foreign exchange rate risk

Consequently, the Company’s operations most exposed to foreign exchange gains/losses are those denominated in Brazilian Real (labor costs, tax issues, local expenses, financial investments and loans and financing) as well as investments in subsidiaries in currencies other than the US dollar.

Company policy for protection against foreign exchange risks on assets and liabilities is mainly based on seeking to maintain a balance between assets and liabilities indexed in each currency and management of foreign currency purchases and sales to ensure that, on realization of the transactions contracted, this natural hedge will occur. This policy minimizes the effect of exchange rate changes on assets and liabilities already contracted, but do not protect against the risk of fluctuations in future results due to appreciation or depreciation of the real that can, when measured in dollars, result in an increase or reduction in the portion of costs denominated in Brazilian Real.

Under certain market conditions, the Company may protect itself against potential future mismatches of expenses and revenues denominated in foreign currency, to minimize the effects of future exchange variations on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Efforts to minimize the foreign exchange risk for rights and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency may involve transactions with derivatives, such as swaps, exchange options and Non-Deliverable Forwards (“NDF”) (Note 8).

The Company has other financial assets and liabilities that are also influenced by foreign exchange variations that are not included in the table above. These are used to minimize exposure in the currencies presented.

27.4 Sensitivity analysis

In order to present positive and negative variations of 25% and 50% in the risk variable considered, a sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments, including derivatives, is presented below describing the effects on the monetary and foreign exchange variations on the financial income and expense, as well as in the consolidated shareholders’ equity, determined on the balances recorded on December 31, 2021, in the event of such variations in the risk component.

However, statistical simplifications were made in isolating the variability of the risk factors in question. Consequently, the following estimates do not necessarily represent the amounts that might be determined in future consolidated financial statements. The use of different hypotheses and/or methodologies could have a material effect on the estimates presented below.

27.4.1 Methodology

Considering the assumption that balances remain constant as compared to December 31, 2021, the Company calculates the interest and exchange variation differential for each of the projected scenarios.

The assessment of the amounts exposed to interest rate risk considers only the risks for the financial statement, therefore operations subject to fixed interest rates were not included. The probable scenario is supported by an average of market projections, observed through Bloomberg, for the related financial indexes and rates in a period of up to 3 months from reporting date, and positive and negative variations of 25% and 50% were applied to the indexes and rates in force as of the reporting date.

In the sensitivity analysis of derivative contracts, positive and negative variations of 25% and 50% were applied to the market yield curve (as observed in B3) as of the reporting date.

28 Shareholders’ equity

28.1 Capital

The authorized capital is divided into 1,000,000,000 common shares. The Company’s subscribed and paid up capital as of December 31, 2021 was US$ 1,551.6 and was comprised of 740,465,044 common shares, without par value, of which 5,832,238 shares were held in treasury.

The capital is comprised entirely of common shares. As per Article 14 of the Company’s bylaws, each common share generally empowered with one vote at general shareholders’ meeting, considering that no shareholder or group of shareholders, may exercise votes representing more than 5% of the quantity of shares into which our capital stock is divided. Votes that exceed this 5% threshold will not be considered.

28.2 Brazilian Federal Government Golden Share

The Federal Government holds one golden share with the same voting rights as other holders of common shares, but which grants it certain additional rights as established in article 9 of the Embraer’s bylaws.

28.3 Treasury Shares

Common shares acquired with resources from the investments and working capital reserve. This operation occurred in accordance with rules approved by the Statutory Board of Directors in a meeting held on December 7, 2007 and corresponds to 5,832,238 common shares and US$ 28.2 as of December 31, 2021. These shares lose voting and economic rights during the period in which they are held in Treasury. The movement is shown below:

	USD		Quantity		Share value (USD)		Net income of uses
At the beginning of the year		25.7		4,291,938		6.0		—
Repurchase of shares in the period		2.5		1,540,300		1.6		—
At December 31, 2021		28.2		5,832,238		4.8		—

As of December 31, 2021, the market value of the shares held in Treasury was US$ 25.9 (December 31, 2020 - US$ 7.3).

28.4 Investment subsidy reserve (Government grants)

This reserve was formed as allowed by article 195-A of Brazilian Corporate Law (as amended by Law 11.638, of 2007) and corresponds to the appropriation of the portion of retained earnings derived from government grants received by the Company, which cannot be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. It is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the same expense line to which the subsidy refers. These subsidies are not included in the calculation of the minimum mandatory dividends.

28.5 Legal reserve

The legal reserve is a revenue reserve recorded annually as an appropriation of 5% of the net income for the year as defined under the Brazilian Corporate Law. The reserve may not exceed 20% of capital, or 30% of capital and capital reserves.

28.6 Investment and working capital reserve

The purpose of this revenue reserve is to shield funds which might otherwise be subject to distribution and are earmarked for: (i) investments in property, plant and equipment, without detriment to retained earnings, pursuant to art. 196 of Law 6.404/76; (ii) the Company’s working capital (iii) redeem, reimburse or purchase shares of the Company and (iv) be distributed to the shareholders.

The previously mentioned statutory reserves are generated of earnings retained from past fiscal years.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

Since Embraer is established and domiciled in Brazil, the components of shareholders’ equity are required under the Brazilian Corporate Law to be measured accounted and maintained in historical Brazilian Real, including amounts to be distributed to shareholders (dividends and interest on own capital). Such a requirement is different from the Company’s original accounting records in its functional currency, which is prepared and maintained in historical U.S. dollars (as described in Note 2.2.1). Net earnings or losses incurred by the Company at the end of each fiscal year in US Dollars are translated to Brazilian Real for Corporate Law accounting purposes at average exchange rate observed on that period end, and then distributed, retained or absorbed by the statutory reserves. Embraer files audited consolidated financial statements in Brazil (translated to Brazilian Real based on requirements of IAS 21), which discloses the components of shareholders’ equity accounted as required by the Brazilian Corporate Law.

As of January 1st, 2020, the Company had retained earnings recorded in the statutory reserves in the historical amount of US$ 2,110.0, out of which US$ 1,856.7 would be available for distribution under the Company’s by-laws. These components in historical Brazilian Real as of January 1st, 2020 were R$ 2,595.4 million and R$ 2,058.2 million, respectively. Mainly as a result of losses incurred in 2020 of US$ 731.9, the statutory reserves reduced to US$ 1,377.8, out of which US$ 1,124.4 would be available for distribution, however in Brazilian Real the reserves were fully absorbed due to the translation of losses incurred at average exchange rate observed in 2020, which cause the losses translated to Brazilian Real of R$ 3,616.0 million to be higher than the previously accumulated statutory reserves. Therefore, the Company presented retained losses of R$ 1,021.0 million as of December 31, 2020 under the Brazilian Corporate Law requirements, which restricts the Company to distribute earnings to shareholders while the accumulated retained losses are not consumed by future net earnings. In 2021, the losses incurred of US$ 44.7 reduced again the retained earnings in historical U.S. dollars to US$ 1,301.5, out of which US$ 1,048.1 would be available for distribution in case no restriction exist, but such losses in the amount of R$ 274.8 million as translated to Brazilian Real further increased the retained losses translated to Brazilian Real to R$ 1,423.0 million.

28.7 Other comprehensive income

Consists of the following adjustments:

• Cumulative translation adjustment: foreign exchange gains/losses resulting from translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements measured in other functional currencies to the Company’s functional currency (dollar); and

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In millions of U.S. dollar, unless otherwise stated

The value of the long-term incentives will be converted at the average price of the Company’s shares in the last 30 trading days (based on the EMBR3 shares listed in the stock exchange in Brazil - B3) by determining the quantity of virtual shares allocated to each participant, divided into two classes: (i) in the form of restricted virtual shares (associated with the service period) and (ii) in the form of virtual performance shares.

The Company will pay the LTI by converting the quantity of virtual shares into reais at the average quoted price (weighted by trading volume) of the Company’s shares in the last 10 trading days, as follows:

• restricted virtual shares: (i) 33% on the third anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 33% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, and (iii) 34% on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; and

• A change in the virtual performance share calculation was approved in August 2017. Virtual performance shares granted in 2015, 2016 and 2017 was paid in 2020, while those granted in 2018 was paid in 2021. The amounts payable will now be based on the internal cost reduction target and not on the Economic Value-Added indicator.

The amounts distributed and effectively paid by the Company to shareholders during the vesting period (dividends and interest on own capital) are included in the virtual shares accounts payable.

The fair value of virtual shares is determined based on the average price (weighted by trading volume) of the Company’s shares (EMBR3-R$) based on the plan’s requirements and applied to the number of virtual shares assigned to each participant in proportion to the vesting period, recorded as other payables (Note 22).

30 Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income/(loss) for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares held in treasury.

	12.31.2021			12.31.2020			12.31.2019
Losses attributable to owners of Embraer		(44.7	)		(731.9	)		(322.3	)
		(44.7	)		(731.9	)		(322.3	)
Weighted average number of shares (in thousands)		734,730			736,164			735,850
Basic and diluted earnings per share - U.S. dollars		(0.06	)		(0.99	)		(0.44	)

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company does not have outstanding potential ordinary shares which can be converted in new shares and diluted earnings per share, therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are equivalent in the period as disclosed. As of December 31, 2019, 93,025 options were excluded from the weighted average number of shares, since their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

36 Responsibilities and commitments

36.1 Insurance cover

The Company contracts different types of insurance policies to protect assets in the event of any accident that might cause significant losses. Policies are also contracted for risks subject to compulsory insurance, either legally or contractually.

The Company and its subsidiaries have civil liability insurance for their operations in Brazil and abroad, with coverage and conditions that management considers appropriate to the risks involved.

To cover substantial damage to assets and loss of earnings of its operations in Brazil and abroad, the Company has insured an amount of US$ 7 billion.

36.2 Exposure with financial and residual value guarantees (Commercial Aviation)

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is not subject to any exposure with financial and residual value guarantees. A total exposure of US$ 183.3 as of December 31, 2020 (taking maximum exposure outside of the balance sheet into consideration) was eliminated in its entirety through settlement and liquidation agreements entered throughout the fiscal year, as well as the expiration of certain guarantees provided.

As presented in Note 25, the Company made payments of US$ 49.5 in financial guarantees in 2021 and holds accounts payable in the amount of US$ 18.7 that are to be liquidated over the course of upcoming fiscal years (US$ 15.8 over the short-term). The difference between the total exposure observed in 2020 and the amounts paid and payable recognized in 2021 was not exercised and therefore did not impact the Company.

Despite previous exposures having been completely eliminated, the Company may grant financial guarantees in new sales orders in accordance with the financial risk management policy approved by the Board of Directors. Certain orders included in the Backlog may also offers options for financial guarantees that may be exercised by clients upon aircraft being delivered.

36.3 Backstop commitments (Commercial Aviation)

In certain firm sales contracts of commercial jets included in backlog (performance obligations to be satisfied – Note 31.c), the Company has entered into backstop commitments to provide financing in case the customer fails to obtain sufficient credit lines upon the aircraft deliveries.

Past experience demonstrates the Company was requested and provided financing on limited cases to its customers during the deliveries of E-Jets family, which demonstrates existence of alternative funding sources in the market to transfer the backstop commitments and remote probability of exercise. In addition, the Company retains property the assembled aircraft until the customer fulfils the payments on delivery, then not being exposed to risks of loss.

With the purpose of mitigating the credit risk exposure, the exercise of backstop commitments relies on current financial conditions of the customer upon exercise notice and conditions precedent to be accomplished. If the Company effectively provides the financing on delivery, the related aircraft is kept as collateral in the financing structure.

36.4 Climate changes

39 Subsequent events

39.1 Pause in the E175-E2 jet development program

The Company’s Board of Directors approved on February 18, 2022 a three-year pause in its E175-E2 jet development program. As in previous years, the re-programing of activities is associated with the ongoing US mainline scope clause discussions with the pilot unions regarding the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) limitation for aircraft with up to 76 seats, together with current global market conditions for commercial aviation and the continuing interest in the current E175 jet in the US market.

The Company expects to resume the program development activities following the aforementioned period, which will result in a re-programming of the aircraft entry into service between 2027 and 2028.

39.2 Tender Offer

On March 1, 2022, pursuant to a tender offer, Embraer repurchased and cancelled US$ 59.2 and US$ 228.6 in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.150% senior unsecured notes due 2022 issued by Embraer S.A. and 5.696% senior unsecured notes due 2023 issued by Embraer Overseas Limited and guaranteed by Embraer S.A., respectively. The Company derecognized as financial liability in 2022 the principal repurchased and recognize as financial expenses the difference between the carrying amount of the portion repurchased (amortized cost) and the consideration paid.

39.3 Russia - Ukraine conflict

The Company has suspended the supply of parts, maintenance and technical support services for certain customers to comply with the sanctions imposed on Russia, Belarus and certain regions of Ukraine by laws of jurisdictions to which Embraer is subject.

In addition, there is no immediate concern over the availability of titanium in supply chain of the Company, considering its strong current inventory position and the existing contracts for the provision of this material with companies in other countries. Embraer will continue to monitor its supply chain and to seek alternative sources.

Management will continue to monitor the ongoing status and developments of the conflict and its potential impacts over the Company’s operations, customers and suppliers. The Company has no material asset or liability exposed to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine as of December 31, 2021, therefore no relevant accounting impact was identified until the date of authorization for issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
