Embraer S.A. (‘Embraer’) was upgraded by a notch to Ba1 from Ba2 by Moody’s. The upgrade comes on back of improvement in credit metrics, operating performance and debt reduction achieved. With debt repayment of $600mn in 3Q 2023, Embraer’s adjusted gross leverage reduced to 3.1x in the 12-months ending September 2023 and its operating margins recovered to 10.9% from 5.4% at end-2022. According to Moody’s, Embraer’s liquidity profile improved as a result of non-core asset sales, initiatives to reduce costs and cash burn and the business combination of EVE Holding, Inc. (EVE). Moody’s expects Embraer’s credit metrics will continue to gradually improve with its adjusted gross leverage declining further to 2.5-3.0x over the next 12-18 months and hence has a stable outlook on the entity.
Embraer’s bonds were stable with its 5.4% 2027s trading at 99.3 cents on the dollar, yielding 5.7%
