All references herein to the “real,” “reais” or “R$” are to the Brazilian real, the official currency of Brazil. All references to “US$,” “dollars” or “U.S. dollars” are to United States dollars. All references to the “Brazilian government” are to the federal government of Brazil. Presentation of Financial and Other Data Financial Data Our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the years then ended (2018 audited consolidated financial statements) are included in this annual report. In addition, our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 are also included elsewhere in this annual report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. The set of annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 includes the first year of adoption of standards IFRS 9—Financial Instruments and IFRS 15—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The transition was applied retrospectively from January 1, 2016. Changes in the significant accounting practices applied as a result of the adoption, including the restatements figures for December 31, 2017 and 2016, and January 1, 2016, are described in Note 2.2.1 to the 2018 audited consolidated financial statements. After analyzing Embraer S.A.’s operations and businesses on a standalone basis 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 our functional currency, management concluded that Embraer S.A.’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. This conclusion was based on an analysis of the following factors, as set forth in IAS 21: (i) the currency that most influences sales 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.
