Note: Deliveries and firm order backlog include orders for the defense
segment placed by State-run airlines (Satena and TAME).

In the airline segment, the family of Embraer aircraft operators welcomed
British Airways, from the United Kingdom, with the EMBRAER 170; Mozambique
Airlines (LAM), with the EMBRAER 190; and Lufthansa CityLine, from Germany,
with the EMBRAER 195. The 600th aircraft of the EMBRAER 170/190 E-Jets family
was delivered to Lot Polish Airlines, thus increasing the family of operators
to 49 in 34 countries.

The highlight of executive aviation was the growth in the number of
deliveries of the Phenom 100 jet, for the third quarter in a row: two in 4Q08,
six in 1Q09, 13 in 2Q09, and 22 in 3Q09, for a total of 43 aircraft. The
aircraft was also certified for operation in Australia and went into service
in Brazil. The network of authorized service centers continues to grow, with
the addition of Starlink, in Canada, and Inflite, in the United Kingdom.

In the defense area, Embraer delivered the first EMBRAER 190 jet to the
Brazilian government. The aircraft is configured especially for the use of the
Presidency of the Republic and is operated by the Special Transportation Group
(Grupo de Transporte Especial — GTE) of the Brazilian Air Force (Forca Aerea
Brasileira — FAB).

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