Embraer conducts its planning with a 15-year horizon, but attentive to external scenarios, the company promotes annual review cycles with all administrative and operational departments. The strategic plan is approved by the Board of Directors, which evaluates it based on risk management, growth expectations and stakeholder demands.
The review process carried out in 2016 considered the economic moment faced in the aerospace and defense segments, which resulted in a decrease in the number of sales in the segment, especially in Executive Aviation, in relation to the last eight years. In this scenario, Embraer adjusted costs, expenses and operations – essential adjustments to uphold the commitment to the goals set forth.
During the year, the company announced the closure of Harpia Sistemas S.A and Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Co. joint venture (HEAI) and, consequently, the termination of the manufacturing of the Legacy 650 jets in China. G4-13

The year was challenging for Embraer due to reduced sales in the Defense & Security and Executive Aviation, in line with other companies in these segments. The consolidated results, however, were positive in light of the good performance of the Commercial Aviation segment and the reduction of costs and expenses, mainly for the qualification of sales and margin improvement in Executive Aviation.
In 2016, the company delivered 240 aircraft, the same volume as the previous year. Net revenue was US$6,217.5 million, slightly higher than the estimates for the year.
Operating income (EBIT) and operating margin closed 2016 at R$717.8 million and 3.3%, respectively, slightly down when compared to the previous year (operating income of R$1,103.1 million and operating margin of 5.4%) due to non-recurring items, such as provisions related to the termination of the investigation of non-compliance with U.S. authorities, and also related to the payment of benefits offered in the Voluntary Dismissal Program (PDV, in Portuguese). Excluding these factors, adjusted EBIT was R$1,700.5 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 7.9%, in line with the company’s annual guidance.
Adjusted net income, excluding deferred income and social contribution taxes related to the impact of exchange variation on non-monetary assets, and also the aforementioned provisions, was R$964.9 million. Adjusted earnings per share were R$1,3179 for the year.
In 2016, the company had a negative adjusted free cash flow of R$1,478.7 million, lower than the positive free cash flow of R$1,391.7 million in 2015, mainly due to lower cash generation from operating activities, and also due to an increase in investments in property, plant and equipment as well as the development of new products.
