RIO DE JANEIRO adidas nmd human race pas cher femme , May 2 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's airplane manufacturer Embraer registered net profit of 134.9 million reais (44.4 million U.S. dollars) in the first quarter of 2017, a stark 65 percent drop year-on-year.
In the first three months of 2016, the company had registered net profits of 358.7 million reais.
In a statement adidas nmd human race pas cher , Embraer attributed this sharp drop to a seasonal fall in sales and the postponement of the launch of a geostational defense and communications satellite due a general strike in French Guiana.
In the first trimester of 2017, Embraer delivered 33 planes (18 commercial planes and 15 executive jets), a 25 percent drop from the first quarter of 2016 adidas nmd city sock pas cher femme , when it delivered 44 (21 commercial, 23 executive).
According to Embraer, new orders in the first quarter stood at 19.2 million U.S. dollars adidas nmd city sock pas cher , 12.3 percent down from the 21.9 million U.S. dollars in the same period of last year.
However, the Brazilian company refused to lower its projections for 2017 and still projects to close the year with net income between 5.7-6.1 billion U.S. dollars.
"The company's first-quarter deliveries are generally the weakest in terms of seasonality. But Embraer remains confident in its 2017 guidance for 97 to 102 commercial jet deliveries and 105 to 125 executive jet deliveries," read the statement.
The company's current backlog stands at 432 aircraft adidas nmd chukka pas cher femme , worth a combined 19.2 billion U.S. dollars.

FRENCHMAN Warren Barguil won his second stage of the Tour de France on the imposing Col d’Izoard yesterday as compatriot Romain Bardet snatched back four seconds from overall leader Chris Froome.
Bardet finished third on the day to take some bonus seconds that lifted him above Rigoberto Uran into second overall and closed the gap to Froome to 23 seconds.
Colombian Darwin Atapuma finished second, 20 seconds behind Barguil with Bardet winning the sprint for third against Froome and Uran.
But with only tomorrow’s time-trial left in which to make a significant difference to the standings adidas nmd chukka pas cher , reigning champion Froome looks set to claim a fourth Tour de France title.
It was a thrilling battle on the final hors category climb at the end of the 179.5km Alpine 18th stage from Briancon to the Col d’Izoard.
Atapuma was part of an original 54-man breakaway that splintered over the two huge climbs of the day.
He reeled in Kazakh Alexey Lutsenko halfway up the Izoard climb while the peloton led by Bardet’s AG2R team, at one point 8 minutes back, started to close in.
Barguil made his move with 6km to go but still had 2 minutes to make up on Atapuma adidas nmd pas cher femme , catching him with 1.4km left and leaving him behind inside the final kilometer.
Behind that Bardet launched an attack 3km from the finish but Froome and Colombian Uran stuck to him like glue.
Briton Froome attacked next but couldn’t stay clear and once they hit the final km it was a battle of wills to the line. Uran gave up two seconds and dropped to 29 seconds off Froome, but is widely regarded a better time-trialist than Bardet.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- China's Li Guizhi set a new world record to win gold in the women's 50m freestyle S11 at the Rio Paralympics on Monday.
The 23-year-old, who is visually impaired, clocked 30.73 seconds to beat the previous record held by Liesette Bruinsma of the Netherlands.
Sweden's Maja Reichard took silver in 30.76 and the Ukraine's Maryna Piddubna shared bronze with Bruinsma after both hit the wall in 31.23.
"I feel very animated and happy because I have been training for a long time for this and it was very difficult for me," said Li, who won silver in the same event at the London Paralympics four years ago.
"My coach helped me a lot because two months ago I had an accident. My toe broke and I had an injury and for 20 days I could not walk and my coach helped me a lot. She never gave up on me."
