Embraer books stronger profit despite Republic impact
SAO PAULO, March 3 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer SA booked a 22 percent rise in fourth-quarter net income on Thursday, boosted by a more profitable sales mix and currency effects.
Profit rose from a year earlier to $111.2 million, missing an average forecast of $162 million as the company set aside money to cover potential losses from the Chapter 11 filing of its major client Republic Airways Holdings.
