Net sales increased 61.5%, from R$ 1,187.4 million for the 2nd quarter of 2000 to R$ 1,918.2 million for
the same period of 2001. This increase in net sales is due to increased deliveries of the ERJ 145/135
family of regional jets. In the second quarter of 2001, 44 aircraft were delivered for the regional market,
including 39 ERJ 145, 4 ERJ 135 and one ERJ-120 Brasília, in addition to one aircraft for the defense
market - one ERJ 135 to the Belgian government, which will be used for transporting authorities. During
the same period of 2000, 38 jets of the ERJ 135/145 family were delivered, including 24 ERJ 145 and
14ERJ 135, and one AMX was delivered for the defense market.
Therefore, total net sales increased 55.1%, from R$2,219.9 million for the first six months of 2000 to R$
3,443.1 million for the first six months of 2001. During the first six months of 2001, a total of 67 ERJ 145
and 18 ERJ 135 aircraft were delivered, totaling 85 jets of the ERJ 135/145 family and one EMB 1 – 20
Brasília for the regional market and one aircraft for the defense market - one ERJ 135,, as compared to
deliveries of 48 ERJ 145 and 23 ERJ 135 for the regional market and one ERJ 135 to the Greek
government and one AMX to the Brazilian government during the first six months of 2000.

The cost of products sold by Embraer increased 23.3%, from R$850.4 million for the second quarter of
2000 to R$ 1,048.8 million for the second quarter of 2001. (in comparison with a 61.5% increase in net
revenues). The cost of products sold increased 24.4%, from R$ 1,584.7 million for the first six months of
2000 to R$1,970.7 million for the first six months of 2001..
Therefore, Embraer returned a gross margin of 45.3% in the second quarter of 2001, compared with
28.4% returned for the same period of 2000. This increase is a result of productivity gains obtained
throughout the year 2000, together with the impact of the US dollar/real exchange rate variation between
the date of purchase of components and raw materials, generally imported and quoted in dollars, and the
corresponding delivery date of the aircraft. In the second quarter alone, the US dollar appreciated 6.6%.
In the accrued figure for 2001, the gross margin was 42.8%, showing an increase of 14.2% as compared
to the 28.6% figure recorded for the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses, including profit-sharing and before financial expenses and revenues, increased 79.4%,
from R$ 151.8 million for the second quarter of 2000 to R$ 272.5 million for the same period of 2001.
In the periods compared, administrative expenses increased from R$ 34.5 million for the second quarter of
2000 to R$ 66.8 million for the second quarter of 2001 and selling expenses increased from R$ 78.0 million
for the second quarter of 2000 to R$ 133.6 million for the second quarter of 2001.
The increase in selling expenses over the period is directly attributable to the increase in the number of
aircraft delivered, the creation of a sales area focused on the executive jet market, the consolidation of the

3

sales offices located in China (Beijing) and Singapore, as well as sales and marketing efforts related to the
ERJ 135/140/145 and ERJ 170/190 regional jet families, defense aircraft and jets for the corporate market.
The increase in administrative expenses was principally due to the hiring of more employees in order to
adjust Embraer’s administrative structure to its increased production and global expansion.
The Variable Remuneration Program, in which employee profit sharing is established according to a
performance appraisal of each employee/team, is linked to income from operations and the distribution of
dividends to Embraer shareholders. As a result, the provision made in the second quarter of 2001 for profit
sharing was based on the distribution of interest on shareholders' equity during the period and the
expectation of dividend distribution for the first six months of 2001.
In the second quarter of 2001, operating profit before financial revenues and expenses, including the
provision for employee profit sharing, was R$ 597.0 million, more than twice the R$ 185.1 million figure
returned for the same period of 2000. Therefore Embraer achieved operating margins of 31.1% and
15.6% for the second quarters of 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Operating profit for the first six months of 2001, increased 182.0%, from R$361.1 million for the first six
months of 2000 to R$ 1,018.3 million for the first six months of 2001. The operating margins were 29.6%
and 16.3% for the first six months of 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Cash generation measured by the EBITDA - Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
for the second quarter of 2001 was R$ 645.1 million, corresponding to an increase of 196.1% as compared
to the same period of 2000. Similarly, the EBITDA margin increased substantially, from 18.3% for the
second quarter of 2000 to 33.6% for the second quarter of 2001.
EBITDA for the first six months of 2001 increased 159.2%, from R$ 428.5 million for the first six months
of 2000 to R$ 1,110.5 million for the same period of 2001.
In the second quarter of 2001, net financial revenue (expense), without taking into account the effects of
the distribution of interest on Embraer shareholders' equity and monetary and exchange rate variations
effects, increased from an expense of R$ 12.6 million for the first quarter of 2000 to a revenue of R$ 55.7
million for the same period of 2001. This reversal can be attributed to a reduction in financial expenses
and an increase in financial revenues. Financial revenues grew significantly, from R$ 32.1 million for the
first quarter of 2000 to R$ 100.0 million for the same period of 2001. The result described above is
basically due to the increase in cash availability and short-term financial investments during the period.
Taking into account net monetary and exchange rate variations, the net financial revenue (expense)
increased from an expense of R$ 47.7 million for the second quarter of 2000 to an expense of R$ 149.9
million for the same period of 2001. This result is due to the 6.6% devaluation of the real against the US
dollar during the second quarter of 2001, compared to a devaluation of 3.0% of the real against the US
dollar during the second quarter of 2000. Since liabilities linked to the US dollar (advances from customers
and suppliers and bank indebtedness) were greater than the assets tied to the US dollar, the exchange rate
effects gave rise to this increase.
A similar effect occurs when taking into account accrued net monetary and exchange rate variations over
the first six months of 2000 and 2001. Embraer’s net financial revenue (expense) increased from
expenses of R$50.0 for the first six months of 2000 to expenses of R$ 310.3 million for the same period of
2001.

Due to the facts described above, Embraer’s net income increased 199.8%, from R$112.9 million for the
second quarter of 2000 to R$ 338.4 million for the same period of 2001. Earnings per share for the second
quarter of 2001 were R$ 0.545 (equivalent to US$ 0.952 per ADS) taking into account the exercise of
subscription warrants occurred in May 2001. Therefore, in the accrued figure for the first six months of
2001, net income increased 164.8%, from R$210.4 million for the first six months of 2000, to R$ 557.1
million for the same period of 2001.
Financial Management
As of June 30, 2001, the Company's cash position totaled R$ 2,912.8 million. On the same date total
indebtedness was R$ 1,307.6 million, of which R$ 1,200.4 million, equivalent to 91.8% of total
indebtedness, was indexed in foreign currency and 22.4% was related with long-term debt. At the end of
the first six months of 2001, the Company had a net cash position of R$ 1,605.2

New Orders and Backlog
• Commercial Aviation Ma rket

The ERJ 145 is a twin-engined regional jet with capacity to carry up to 50 passengers, which has been
attending to the increasing demand from regional airlines for an economic aircraft offering speed and
comfort.
On April 17, 2001, the UK airline British Midland confirmed one additional option for the ERJ 145, totaling
11 firm orders and 5 options for this aircraft.
Currently, 355 ERJ 145 aircraft are operating with 24 airlines in 17 different countries.
The ERJ 135 is a 37-seat regional jet using the same platform as the ERJ 145, and manufactured on the
same assembly line as the ERJ 145. The ERJ 135 has 96% of equipment commonality in relation to parts
and components of the ERJ 145, enabling the same ground support equipment to be used by customers
using both types of aircraft, as well as the same pilot certification and standardized maintenance
procedures.
During the second quarter of 2001, Embraer concluded negotiations with two more French airlines,
Occitania and Pan Européene, representing two firm orders and two options for the ERJ 135.

The ERJ 140 is a 44-seat regional jet launched on November 30, 1999, to offer our customers greater
flexibility of aircraft selection. Developed from the ERJ 135 aircraft, the new ERJ 140 is alsopart of the
ERJ 135/145 regional jet family, with 96% commonality of parts and components used by the family,
providing our customers with significant operational and maintenance benefits.
The ERJ 140 made its maiden flight in June 2000 and the first delivery was made in July 2001, as planned.
In April 2001, Skyway Airlines based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (US), signed a letter of intent to purchase
20 ERJ 140 jets. This order also envisages an equal number of options and the possibility to include some
ERJ 135 and ERJ 145 ai craft in the total order.
r
During the 44th Paris Air Show, new orders from the companies Chautaqua and Trans States Airlines for
ERJ 140 jets were announced. The negotiation will be part of an operating agreement between the two
companies and American Airlines.
The agreement with Chautauqua Airlines will involve the confirmation of 28 options held by the company
on the ERJ 145 aircraft and the inclusion of 25 new options for the ERJ 140.. Chautaqua Airlines is owned
by investment funds organized and managed by Wexford Capital LLC.
Transtates Airlines placed a new order for ten ERJ 140 jets and 25 additional options.
Since Embraer’s policy is to only include in its backlog firm orders arising fromsigned contracts, the
Skyway, Chautaqua and Transtates orders are not being included in the backlog, since they are still
pending finalization of the contract or the conclusion of operating agreements.
The ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 make up the new Embraer regional jet family. The ERJ 170 will be a regional
jet for 70 passengers. The ERJ 190 will include two regional jets, the ERJ 190-100 for 98 passengers and
the ERJ 190-200 for 108 passengers. Development of this new family of regional jets continues strictly on
schedule. The first deliveries of the ERJ 170 are planned for December 2002, whilst deliveries of the ERJ
190-200 will begin in July of 2004.
In June 2001, during the Le Bourget Aerospace Fair, the Brazilian airline TAM signed a letter of intent to
purchase up to 100 ERJ 190-200 jets. The document envisages a minimum of 25 firm orders and enables
conversion to other models and versions of the new ERJ 170/190 regional jet family. Since this is a letter
of intent, the order was not included in Embraer’s backlog.
• Corporate Aviation Market

The Legacy is an executive aircraft, developed based on the ERJ 135 regional jet platform. The Legacy
will be available in executive, corporate and government transportation versions. The maiden flight of the
executive version of the Legacy took place on March 31, 2001.

During the 44th Paris Air Show, various sales contracts for the Legacy executive jet were announced,
totaling 8 aircraft, including the first order by a Latin American client. The launch customer for the Legacy
in the Latin American market is an important financial institution based in São Paulo.

• Customer Services Market

In June 2001, during the LeBourget Fair in France, Embraer and ATR announced AEROChain, which is
an e-commerce portal focused on improving commercial relations with the companies' customers and
suppliers. The new venture is expected to be totally implemented by the 2nd quarter of 2002, but more
than US$ 4.1 million in quotations and US$ 1.9 million in sales were already recorded between January
and April this year, as part of a test period involving certain clients and the CIS (Customer Integration
System), Embraer’s current Internet arm.
KPMG Consulting, Inc. will supply the integration and project management services, which will
incorporate a selection of Oracle computer programs, including Oracle Exchange
Embraer decided to join forces with other world market leaders instead of setting up a wholly-owned
subsidiary. The new venture will represent investments estimated at US$ 21.0 million, to be assumed by
Embraer and ATR.
AEROChain will be based in the United States and its commercial structure will be made available to
customers and the partner/supplier community through various functions, such as commerce, supply chain
management, MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) techniques and technical services. Embraer
alone will involve 550 suppliers and 170 potential clients.

Recent Developments

Signing of the contract for the sale of the ALX to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB)
On August 8, 2001, Embraer signed a contract with the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) for the supply of 76
ALX (Light Attack Aircraft), a version of the Super Tucano, plus 23 options. The new aircraft, in single
and two-seater configurations, is expected to be used for training and operational missions in the Amazon
region and Embraer expects first deliveries to be made in 2003.
The FAB selected the ALX because currently it is the multiple-mission aircraft with the best performance
for training and operational missions, in addition to combining cost, benefits and qualities.

The full version of the financial statements is available from the Company's web site,
