Let's take your $400mm company-wide net profit as a base. The commercial business was Embraer's only profitable division recently, which implies that the commercial division's profit was more than $400mm but the other divisions dragged the company down.
Pretty big leap of faith, given the way aircraft sales are reported these days. Looking at commercial aircraft delivery numbers might be a better way. They delivered 90 commercial aircraft in 2018, of which only 4 were the E2 series. Most were 175 which they still have a backlog of...

Dont know, the E2 is just an update, and pretty far behind the 220 series.

Also dont really see a lot of sales for the 190/195 E2's...looks like the 175-E2 is dead.

The E2's would need composite wings to compete, and Boeing is not likely gonna spring for an E3 at this point, but who knows...
