All references herein to the “real,” “reais” or “R$” are to the Brazilian real, the official currency of Brazil.

Presentation of Financial and Other Data
Financial Data
Our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the three years ended December 31, 2025, or our 2025 audited consolidated financial statements, are included in this annual report.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”).
After analyzing the operations and businesses of Embraer S.A. and most of its significant subsidiaries with regard to the applicability of International Accounting Standards, or IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, particularly in relation to the factors involved in determining their functional currency, management concluded that their functional currency is the U.S. dollar. This conclusion was based on an analysis of the following factors: (i) the currency that most influences sale prices of goods and services; (ii) the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations most determine the sale prices of our goods and services; (iii) the currency that most influences the costs of providing goods and services; and (iv) the currency in which the funds for financial operations are largely obtained. Our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report are presented in U.S. dollars, which is our presentation currency.
For certain purposes, including providing reports to our Brazilian shareholders, filing financial statements with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, or CVM), and determining dividend payments and other distributions in Brazil, we have prepared, and will continue to be required to prepare, parent company and consolidated financial statements in accordance IFRS Accounting Standards and with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, as issued by the Accounting Pronouncement Committee and approved by CVM.
