Embraer Delivers 91 Aircraft in Q4 2025, Beating Year-Ago Levels

Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer delivered 91 aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a 21% increase compared with the same period a year earlier, according to a securities filing released on Tuesday. The strong performance capped a solid year for the planemaker as production output continued to recover and expand.

During the October–December period, Embraer handed over 32 commercial jets and 53 executive jets, alongside six defence aircraft. The quarterly figures highlight balanced growth across the company’s business segments, with particular momentum in business aviation deliveries.

For the full year 2025, Embraer delivered a total of 244 aircraft, representing an 18% increase year on year. This included 78 commercial jets and 155 executive jets, underscoring the resilience of demand across both airline and corporate aviation markets. Defence deliveries accounted for the remaining aircraft.

The annual results came within Embraer’s published guidance, which had forecast deliveries of between 77 and 85 commercial aircraft and 145 to 155 executive jets for the year. Meeting those targets reflects improved industrial stability following supply-chain disruptions in earlier years.

Analysts reacted positively to the figures. Citigroup analysts described Embraer’s fourth-quarter delivery performance as “strong,” noting that it reinforces expectations of production upside heading into 2026. They added that the manufacturer’s output capacity has improved in recent years as a result of targeted investments in facilities, workforce, and manufacturing processes.

Commercial aircraft deliveries continue to be led by Embraer’s E-Jet family, which remains popular with airlines seeking efficient regional and short-haul solutions. Meanwhile, the company’s executive aviation division, which includes the Phenom and Praetor business jet families, has benefited from sustained demand in the private and corporate travel segments.

Embraer’s defence business also contributed to quarterly results, with deliveries supporting military and government customers. The company has been expanding its defence footprint globally, particularly with platforms such as the KC-390, although defence volumes remain smaller compared with commercial and executive aviation.

Looking ahead, Embraer is expected to provide further insight into its financial performance and outlook when it reports fourth-quarter earnings on March 6. Investors and analysts will be watching closely for updates on production rates, order backlog, and guidance for 2026, as the manufacturer seeks to build on its delivery momentum.

Overall, the strong fourth-quarter and full-year delivery figures position Embraer well entering 2026, with improving industrial capacity and steady demand across its core business lines supporting a more optimistic outlook for the year ahead.
