Despite a higher number of deliveries, net revenues for 3Q09 totaled US$ 1,246.0 million, or a 19.4% decrease from the US$ 1,546.0 million in net revenues of 3Q08, basically due to 3Q09 product mix, that included 22 Phenom 100 jets delivered.

The gross margin for 3Q09 totaled 18.8% or a decrease over the 21.7% gross margin of 3Q08, mainly due to the product mix, and the reduction in revenues which caused a lower dilution of fixed costs.

Income from operations totaled US$ 68.0 million in 3Q09, a 32.3% decrease compared to US$ 100.5 million recorded for the same period of last year. The decrease is due to a lower gross profit in the quarter. The operating margin was 5.5% in 3Q09, or a decrease over the 6.5% operating margin for 3Q08. On an accumulated basis, the operating margin of 2009 is 7.0%, higher than 5.8% margin accumulated in 2008.
