BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS DEBT & LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Embraer ended 2Q22 with a net debt position of US$ 1.2 billion, compared to US$ 1.5 billion q-o-q and US$ 1.8 billion y-o-y. The decrease in the Company's net debt position q-o-q is a result of cash usage and payment of all 2022 balance of Embraer's bond and repurchase of 2025, 2027 and 2028 bonds. Liquidity position decreased to US$ 1.96 billion, from the US$ 2.10 billion in 1Q22, with payment of US$ 396.8 million of short and long-term debt. The average loan maturity of 2Q22 was maintained at 3.8 years.

FREE CASH FLOW Adjusted free cash flow for 2Q22 was US$ 91.2 million, a significant improvement compared to US$ 45.1 million reported in 2Q21 due to working capital optimization, in light of production ramp-up and divestment of Évora's facilities.

As reference, EVE's US GAAP cash flow amounted to US$162 million in the first half, for more details EVE publishes its results on the same day on New York Stock Exchange.

In 2Q22, Embraer invested a total of US$ 26.4 million in product development, mainly related to TP program. WORKING CAPITAL Aligned with the Company's planned ramp-up of deliveries in the coming quarters, working capital was impacted by an increase in inventory's work-in-progress. Several working capital initiatives resulted in a positive YTD free cash flow, considering 2/3 of annual revenue planned for the second semester. TOTAL BACKLOG Firm order backlog reached US$ 17.8 billion in 2Q22, representing an increase of 12% and 2.9% compared to 2Q21 and 1Q22, respectively, reaching the highest backlog post pandemic, not accounting for the 20 firm orders for Porter in July22. COMMERCIAL AVIATION In 2Q22, Embraer delivered 11 commercial jets, as shown below: Embraer delivered 8 Embraer 175 to SkyWest and 3 Embraer 195-E2 to Aircastle and ICBC. In the 2Q22, NAC was announced as the E-Jets Freighter launch lessor, after signing an LOI of up to 10 P2F conversions and additional undisclosed customer signed a firm order of up to 10 P2F conversions. Embraer and Pratt & Whitney successfully tested a GTF-powered E195-E2 aircraft on 100% SAF, the first step in the certification process to maximize emission reduction with the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels. Unit backlog and cumulative deliveries for Commercial Aviation at the end of 2Q22 were as follows: EXECUTIVE AVIATION Executive Aviation delivered 21 aircraft (12 light and 9 mid-size jets) in the second quarter 2022. Deliveries were higher than 2Q21 and sales continued strong in the quarter with sales orders exceeding prior year levels. The book-to-bill ratio remains above 2.5 to 1, the highest in the industry. Growth in the light and mid-sized business jet segments continues. Embraer Executive Aviation is well positioned to capitalize on this growth, with strong product performance and increased customer demand. DEFENSE & SECURITY As of 2Q22, there are four units of C-390 Millennium in the production line destined to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), two units to the Portuguese Air Force and one to the Hungarian Defense Forces. With regards to ongoing sales campaigns, Embraer was honored by the Netherlands Ministry of Defense's (MoD) decision of selecting the C-390 Millennium as a sole source in its project "Replacement Capacity Tactical Airlift". In our cybersecurity business, Tempest continues to show strong growth, with more than twice revenue when compared 2Q22 vs 2Q21 and representing a year-to-date growth of more than 60% compared to the first half of 202 SERVICES & SUPPORT Growth of Services and Support is based on the expansion of the sale of materials (parts and support to special programs). This is due to higher aircraft fleet usage of the Commercial and Executive aviation, because of the recovery from the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main drivers for the Commercial Aviation services were in Pool Program and components. Highlights are shed on a new long-term and significant agreement extension signed with Intel for the ERJ fleet. Porter has also made an addition to its E2 fleet in the pool program, now overseeing new components. New long-term agreements also included Eswatini National Airways and Marathon pool agreement. For Executive Jets Services, sales results continue ahead of target with new contracts signed in the first six months of the year. For the Defense market, new temporary support contracts were celebrated with the Brazilian Federal Police for two E175 and with SATENA, bringing new revenue to Embraer Services & Support. Also in the term, the Services & Support Training team assisted the first and successful KC-390 operation for cargo airdrop of supplies at the Brazilian Research Base at Antarctica. RECONCILIATION OF IFRS AND "NON-GAAP" INFORMATION We define Free cash flow as operating cash flow less Additions to property, plant and equipment, Additions to intangible assets, Financial investments and Other assets. Free cash flow is not an accounting measure under IFRS. Free cash flow is presented because it is used internally as a measure for evaluating certain aspects of our business. The Company also believes that some investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring Embraer's cash position. Free cash flow should not be considered as a measure of the Company's liquidity or as a measure of its cash flow as reported under IFRS. In addition, Free cash flow should not be interpreted as a measure of residual cash flow available to the Company for discretionary expenditures, since the Company may have mandatory debt service requirements or other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. Other companies in the industry may calculate Free cash flow differently from Embraer for purposes of their earnings releases, thus limiting its usefulness for comparing Embraer to other companies in the industry. EBITDA LTM represents earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization accumulated over a period of the last 12 months. It is not a financial measure of the Company's financial performance under IFRS. EBIT as mentioned in this press release refers to earnings before interest and taxes, and for purposes of reporting is the same as that reported on the Income Statement as Operating Profit before Financial Income. EBIT and EBITDA are presented because they are used internally as measures to evaluate certain aspects of the business. The Company also believes that some investors find them to be useful tools for measuring a Company's financial performance. EBIT and EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of the Company's financial condition or results of operations, as reported under IFRS. Other companies in the industry may calculate EBIT and EBITDA differently from Embraer for the purposes of their earnings releases, limiting EBIT and EBITDA's usefulness as comparative measures. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures, and both exclude the impact of several non-recurring items, as described in the tables bellow. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure, calculated by adding Net Income attributable to Embraer Shareholders plus Deferred Income tax and social contribution for the period, as well as removing the impact of non-recurring items. Furthermore, under IFRS for purposes of calculating Embraer's Income Tax benefits (expenses), the Company is required to record taxes resulting from gains or losses due to the impact of the changes in the Real to the US Dollar exchange rate over non-monetary assets (primarily Inventories, Intangibles, and PP&E). It is important to note that taxes resulting from gains or losses over non-monetary assets are considered deferred taxes and are accounted for in the Company's consolidated Cash Flow statement, under Deferred income tax and social contribution.
