Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, unless otherwise specified or per share amounts)
**Note 1 – **Organization and Basis of Presentation
Eve Holding, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, as applicable, “Eve,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is an aerospace company that is dedicated to accelerating the urban air mobility (“UAM”) ecosystem. Benefitting from a startup mindset and with a singular focus, Eve is taking a holistic approach to progressing the UAM ecosystem with an advanced electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) project, a comprehensive global services and support network, and a unique air traffic management solution. The Company is organized in Delaware with operations in Melbourne, Florida and São Paulo, Brazil.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, unless otherwise noted, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Additionally, operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within our 2023 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation. Certain columns and rows may not add due to rounding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and allocations of expenses. These judgments were based on the historical experience, management’s evaluation of trends in the industry and other factors that were deemed relevant at that time. The estimates and assumptions were reviewed on a regular basis and the changes to accounting estimates were recognized in the period in which the estimates were revised. The Company’s management recognizes that the actual results could be materially different from the estimates.
Prior Period Reclassification
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for our 2024 annual financial statements and interim periods beginning in 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This guidance establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing guidance. Under the new guidance, entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. They must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Master Service Agreements and Shared Service AgreementIn December 2021, the Company and Embraer entered into the Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) and Shared Service Agreement (“SSA”), and as a result, Embraer began charging the Company for research and development (R&D) and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) services, respectively. The initial terms for the MSA and SSA are 15 years. The MSA can be automatically renewed for additional successiveone-year periods. The MSA established a fee so that the Company may have access to Embraer’s R&D and engineering department structure, as well as, at the Company’s option, the ability to access manufacturing facilities in the future. The SSA established a cost overhead pool to be allocated, excluding any margin, so that the Company may be provided with access to certain of Embraer’s administrative services and facilities such as shared service centers.

Fees under the Atech MSA are for services related to air traffic management software development, defense systems, simulation systems, engineering, and consulting services.
Corporate Costs Embraer incurs corporate costs for services provided to the Company. These costs include, but are not limited to, expenses for information systems, accounting, treasury, purchasing, human resources, legal, and facilities. These costs benefit Eve, but are not covered under the MSA or SSA. The corporate costs are allocated between the "Research and development expenses” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line items of the condensed consolidated statements of operations as appropriate.
Development Costs The Company has entered into supply agreements with Embraer entities and joint ventures that Embraer is a party to for the purchase of components and other materials consumed in development activities.

Note 6– Debt
In January 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “BNDES Loan Agreement”) withBanco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social (“BNDES”), pursuant to which BNDES extendedtwo loans with an aggregate borrowing availability of R$490 million (approximately $98.1 million), to support the first phase of the development of the Company’s eVTOL project. All USD approximations use foreign currency exchange rate data as of March 31, 2024.
The first loan (“Sub-credit A”), in the amount of R$80 million (approximately$16.0 million), was denominated in Brazilian reais byFundo Nacional Sobre Mudança Climática (“FNMC”), a BNDES fund that supports businesses focused on mitigating climate change and reducing carbon emissions. Sub-credit A has maturity dates on a monthly basis from March 2026 through February 2035. The second loan (“Sub-credit B”), in the amount of R$410 million (approximately$82.1 million), was denominated in US Dollars, as adjusted on a daily basis by the US Dollar sale rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil as the “PTAX” rate. Sub-credit B has maturity dates on a quarterly basis from May 2027 through February 2035. In September 2023, BNDES withheld aone-time fee of approximately $0.4 million from the initial draw.

Note 7 – Common Stock Warrants
Warrants Classified as Equity
Public Warrants
In connection with the Company's initial public offering on May 9, 2022 (“the Closing”), 11.5 million redeemable warrants were available as part of the common stock sold (the “Public Warrants”). Each Public Warrant entitles its holder to purchaseone share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to be exercised only for a whole number of shares of our common stock. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the Closing, provided that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The Public Warrants expire five years after the Closing or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading days period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. As of March 31, 2024, there were 11.5 million Public Warrants outstanding.
New Warrants
The Company entered into warrant agreements with certain strategic private investment in public equity investors (“Strategic PIPE Investors”) and United Airlines Ventures, Ltd. (“United”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions of each applicable warrant agreement. The Company has issued or has agreed to issue to the Strategic PIPE Investors and United warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate amount of (i)24,095,072 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“Penny Warrants”), (ii)12,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $15.00 per share, and (iii)5,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Warrants with exercise prices of $15.00 and $11.50 per share are defined as Market Warrants.
Because the cash received for the common stock and New Warrants is significantly different from their fair value, management considers such warrants to have been issued other than at fair market value. Accordingly, such warrants represent units of account separate from the shares of common stock that were issued to the Strategic PIPE Investors and United in connection with their respective investment and therefore require separate accounting treatment.
Terms related to the issuance and exercisability of the New Warrants differ among the Strategic PIPE Investors and United and each New Warrant is independently exercisable such that the exercise of any individual warrant does not depend on the exercise of another. As such, management has concluded that all New Warrants meet the criteria to be legally detachable and separately exercisable and therefore freestanding.
The New Warrants were recognized, measured, and classified by the Company as follows:
(a) Potential lender/financier: Market Warrants were issued to potential lender/financier counterparties at Closing, vested immediately, and do not contain exercise contingencies. These warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and equity-classified. Fair value was measured and expensed at the issuance date. As long as these warrants continue to be classified as equity, subsequent fair value remeasurement is not required.
(b) Potential customers: Market and Penny Warrants issued or issuable to potential customers of Eve were determined to be within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, for classification and measurement and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for recognition. In accordance with ASC 718, these warrants were determined to be equity-classified. The Penny Warrants can be separated intotwo categories: (i) contingently issuable warrants (the “Contingent Warrants”) and (ii) warrants that immediately vested upon Closing (“Vested Warrants”). The Contingent Warrants are measured at fair value on the grant date and will be recognized as variable consideration (a reduction of revenue) under ASC 606 when and if there are related revenue transactions or as expense if there are not yet related revenue transactions. The Vested Warrants were accounted for akin to a non-refundable upfront payment to a potential customer and were recognized as expense as Eve has no current revenue or binding contracts in place. Market Warrants issued at Closing to potential customers vested immediately and have no contingencies.
(c) Potential suppliers: Penny Warrants issued or issuable to potential suppliers of Eve, which are subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions, are accounted for as non-employee awards under ASC 718 and were determined to be equity-classified. The fair value of these warrants will be recognized as expense as products and/or services are received from the suppliers as if Eve paid cash for the respective transactions.
For the Contingent Warrants, the issuance and vesting of such warrants occurs upon the achievement of certain milestones, which include, as applicable, (a) receipt of the first type certification for eVTOL in compliance with certain airworthiness authorities, (b) receipt of the first binding commitment from a third-party to purchase an eVTOL jointly developed by Embraer and a certain Strategic Investor, (c) being a supplier at entry into service, (d) receipt of binding commitments from certain Strategic Investors for an aggregate 700 eVTOLs,(e) the time at whichten vertiports that have been developed or implemented with the services of a certain Strategic Investor have entered operation or are technically capable of entering operation, and (f) receipt of services and support agreements.
As of March 31, 2024, there were 37,422,536 New Warrants outstanding. The New Warrants were measured at fair value on the grant date (May 9, 2022), except for cases where there has been a modification, where fair value is remeasured on the modification date. The fair value of Penny Warrants was calculated by subtracting $0.01 from Eve’s share price on the grant date. Market Warrants with an exercise price of $11.50 were estimated using the publicly traded Public Warrants as the terms are similar. The Company used a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Market Warrants with an exercise price of $15.00. The valuation model utilizes management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. Forfeitures of New Warrants within the scope of ASC 718 are estimated by the Company and reviewed when circumstances change.
The following table summarizes the Black-Scholes model inputs and assumptions:
| May 9, | |
|---|---|
| Market Warrants with exercise price of $15.00 | 2022 |
| Share Price (S0) | $11.32 |
| Maturity Date | 12/31/2025 |
| Time (T) - Years | 3.63 |
| Strike Price (X) | $15.00 |
| Risk-free Rate (r) | 2.85% |
| Volatility (σ) | 7.93% |
| Dividend Yield (q) | 0.00% |
| Warrant Value | $0.11 |
Warrants Classified as Liabilities
Private Placement Warrants
In connection with the Company's initial public offering on May 9, 2022 (“the Closing”), 14.3 million redeemable warrants in private placements (the “Private Placement Warrants”) were issued. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles its holder to purchaseone share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to conditions as defined in the respective warrant agreement. The Private Placement Warrants have similar terms as the Public Warrants, except for the $0.01 cash redemption feature. However, in the event a Private Placement Warrant is transferred to a third-party not affiliated with the Company (referred to as a non-permitted transferee), the warrant becomes a Public Warrant and is subject to the $0.01 cash redemption feature. If this occurs, the calculation changes for the settlement amount of the Private Placement Warrants. Since the settlement amount depends solely on who holds the instrument, which is not an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares, the Private Placement Warrants are liability classified. As of March 31, 2024, there were 14.3 million Private Placement Warrants outstanding.
**Note 8– **Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has derivative financial instrument liabilities of $7.6 million and $14.0 million, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to the Private Placement Warrants. The Company uses the share price of its Public Warrants as the input for the recurring fair value measurement of Private Placement Warrants at the end of each reporting period within the “Derivative financial instruments” line item of thecondensed consolidated balance sheets. The Public Warrants are used to remeasure the fair value as they have similar key terms. Refer to Note 7 and 9 for additional information.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, a gain of $6.3 million and loss of $2.2 million, respectively, was recognized within the “Gain/(loss)from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities” line in thecondensed consolidated statement of operations. The change in fair value is recorded under operating activities within thecondensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy, which hasthree levels based on the reliability of the inputs, to determine fair value. The Company’s assessment of the significance of an input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using other observable inputs for the instruments, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 includes fair values estimated using unobservable inputs for the instruments used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, related party receivables, related party loan receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, related party payables, and other current payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments.
The fair value of debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow model and other observable inputs. Therefore, deemed to be Level 2. Refer to Note 8 for the methodology for determining the fair value of Private Placement Warrants.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no changes in the fair value methodology andno transfers between levels of the financial instruments.
The following table lists the Company’s financial liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 10 – Equity
The Company’s common stock and Public Warrants trade on the NYSE under the symbols “EVEX” and “EVEXW”, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue the following shares and classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.001 per share: (i)1,000,000,000 shares of common stock; and (ii)100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. There were 269,365,708 and 269,359,021 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion out of funds legally available. No dividends on common stock have been declared by the Company’s Board of Directors through March 31, 2024, and the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company has shares of common stock reserved for future issuance related to warrants and share-based compensation.
Preferred stock may be issued at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and without further stockholder action. The shares of preferred stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends, or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans, pursuant to which the Company may provide equity incentives to employees, officers, and directors and in certain instances may be used as an anti-takeover defense. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there wasno preferred stock issued and outstanding.
In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets, or winding-up, subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of the Company’s common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of any preferred stock have been satisfied, if any.
Note 11– Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common stock reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock. The effects of any incremental potential common stock are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. Contingently issuable shares, including equity awards with performance conditions, are considered outstanding common shares and included in basic and diluted earnings per share as of the date that all necessary conditions to earn the awards have been satisfied. Public and Private Placement Warrants are considered for the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent they are “in-the-money” and their effect is dilutive. The Company has retroactively adjusted the shares issued and outstanding prior to May 9, 2022, to give effect to the exchange ratio.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there wereno securities outstanding whose effect would be dilutive to earnings per share. Therefore, the number of basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were equal for each period.
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net loss | $(25,296) | $(25,772) |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding – basic and diluted | 276,263 | 275,494 |
| Net loss per share – basic and diluted | $(0.09) | $(0.09) |
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding included penny warrants with either no or met contingencies, which have not been exercised of 6.9 million and 6.4 million shares, respectively.
The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 14 –Income Taxes
The Company calculates its income tax amounts using a separate return methodology. Under this method, the Company prepares the financial statements as if it will file separate returns with tax authorities. As a result, the Company’s deferred tax balances and effective tax rate as a stand-alone entity will likely differ significantly from those calculated in the actual consolidated return with Embraer. The calculation of income taxes on a separate return basis requires a considerable amount of judgment and use of both estimates and allocations. The tax loss carryforwards and valuation allowances reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a hypothetical stand-alone income tax return basis and may not exist in the ERJ and EAH consolidated financial statements.
For thethree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized current income tax expense of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, due to year-to-date income in the Brazilian jurisdiction.
Note 15 – Leases
Leases primarily consist of office space, facilities, and equipment. A lease is deemed to exist when the Company has the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment, as conveyed through a contract, for a certain period of time and consideration paid. The right to control is deemed to occur when the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the identified assets and the right to direct the use of such assets. The Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and a corresponding lease liability on the lease commencement date (the date in which the asset is available for use). Lease liabilities are recognized in“Other current payables” and“Other non-current payables.”
The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present values of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments for a term similar to the lease term in a similar economic environment as the lease. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments to be made during the lease term, which is measured based on the contract term and renewal options. Options to extend the lease term or terminate it early are considered when it is reasonably certain the options will be exercised.
The following is a summary of the balance sheet components of leases:
| March 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Supplemental balance sheet information | ||
| ROU assets, net - related parties | $443 | $474 |
| ROU assets, net - third parties | 576 | 34 |
| Total ROU assets, net | $1,019 | $508 |
| Operating lease liabilities - related parties | $437 | $474 |
| Operating lease liabilities - third parties | 574 | 36 |
| Total operating lease liabilities | $1,011 | $510 |
Future minimum lease payments at March 31, 2024 were as follows:
| Operating Leases | |

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has one lease with a related party that has not yet commenced. The lease is for a facility in Gavião Peixoto in the state ofSãoPaulo, Brazil. The lease is expected to commence this year. The Company will also have additional leases commence for equipment from third parties during 2024.
Note 16–Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Loss contingencies that are reasonably possible, but not probable, will be disclosed in the notes to thecondensed consolidated financial statements.
**Note 17 – Segments **
Operating segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Given Eve’s pre-revenue operating stage, it currently has no concentration exposure to products, services, or customers. Eve has determined that it currently operates inthree different operating and reportable segments as the CODM assesses the operation results by each R&D project, as follows:
eVTOLThe Company is designing and certifying an eVTOL purpose-built for UAM missions and plans to market its eVTOLs globally to operators of UAM services, including fixed wing and helicopter operators, as well aslessors that purchase and manage aircraft on behalf of operators.
**Service and Operations Solutions The Company **plans to offer a full suite of eVTOL service and support capabilities, including material services, maintenance, technical support, training, ground handling and data services. Its services will be offered to UAM fleet operators on an agnostic basis, supporting both its own eVTOL and those produced by third parties.
**UATMThe Company **is developing next-generation Urban Air Traffic Management software (“Vector”) to help enable eVTOLs to operate safely and efficiently in dense urban airspace along with conventional fixed wing and rotary aircraft and unmanned drones. The Company expects to offer Vector primarily as a subscription software offering to customers that include air navigation service providers, fleet operators and vertiport operators.
The CODM receives information related to the operating results based on R&D expenses by segment. Asset information by segment is not presented to the CODM.
