Notes to 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,” “Eve Holding,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is an aerospace company that is dedicated to accelerating the urban air mobility (“UAM”) ecosystem. The Company 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.
The Company is a former blank check company incorporated on November 19, 2020, under the name Zanite Acquisition Corp. (“Zanite”) as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, unless otherwise noted, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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”). 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.
Note 2 –Significant Accounting Policies
Functional and Reporting Currency
The functional and reporting currency is the US Dollar (“US Dollars,” “USD,” or “$”). The balances and transactions of Eve Soluções de Mobilidade Aérea Urbana Ltda. (“Eve Brazil”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in Brazil, that were recorded in a Brazilian reais (“BRL” or “R$”) have been remeasured into the functional currency (USD) before being presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency gains and losses are related to transactions with suppliers recognized in USD, but settled in BRL. The financial impact is recognized in “Other gain/(loss), net” within the consolidated statements of operations.
Property, Plant & Equipment, Net
Property, plant & equipment, net are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated on a straight line basis. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are expensed as incurred.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant & equipment and right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group may not be recoverable.
Debt
Debt or borrowings from banks with an original maturity date within twelve months will be classified as a current liability, as well as the current portion of any long-term debt. Debt or borrowings from banks with maturity dates greater than twelve months (long-term debt) will be classified as a non-current liability, net of any current portion.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs include incremental fees and commissions incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Generally, these costs are recorded as a contra-liability as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability and amortized over the remaining term of the debt instrument.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses (“R&D”) are focused on design and development of our eVTOL, Service and Operations Solutions, and UATM projects to achieve manufacturing and commercial stages. R&D costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of engineering services provided by related parties, personnel-related costs for employees focused on R&D activities, supplies, and materials costs. R&D expenditures for the UATM project are related to the development of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed and are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company established the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, which grants eligible employees, contractors, and directors restricted stock units (RSUs) for common stock of the Company. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards be based on the grant date fair values of the awards. Expense for awards with service and market conditions begins when a grant date has been determined. Expense for awards with performance conditions begins when a grant date has been determined and the performance condition is considered probable. The fair value of RSU awards with market conditions is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions and judgments. The fair value of the RSU’s without market conditions equals the share price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The fair value of awards is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures by employees are accounted for when they occur and estimated for non-employees.
Additionally, the Company assumes obligations related to the ERJ long-term incentive plan (“Embraer Plan”) for certain employees that transfer from Embraer to Eve. The plan is a cash-settled phantom shares plan, in which the amounts attributed to the services provided by the participants are converted into virtual share units based on the market value of ERJ’s shares. At the end of the service period the participant receives the quantity of virtual shares converted into BRL, at the current market value of ERJ common stock. The Company recognizes the obligation during the service period (quantity of virtual shares proportional to the period) in the same group as the participant’s normal remuneration. This obligation is presented within either “Other current payables” or “Other non-current payables” dependent upon the remaining vesting term. The fair value is calculated based on the market price of the shares and recorded as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
For the US operations, the operating results and related tax positions are a component of either a legal entity and/or a larger group of entities that file tax returns. Eve Brazil files a separate income tax return in Brazil, thus, all income tax related balances are based on enacted Brazilian tax law.
The deferred income taxes are generally recognized, based on enacted tax rates, when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax purposes. The Company has calculated 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 deferred tax balances and effective tax rate as a stand-alone entity will likely differ significantly from those recognized in the actual consolidated return by Embraer. A valuation allowance is appropriate if it is more likely than not all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The calculation of income taxes on a separate return basis requires a considerable amount of judgment and use of both estimates and allocations.
The Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has agreater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as we as the related net interest and penalties.

Compliance with Debt Covenants
Our loan facilities require compliance with either a debt service coverage ratio, customary affirmative, negative and operational covenants, customary events of default, prepayment and cure provisions, and regular reporting to lenders including providing certain subsidiary financial statements. Our term loan with Citi requires compliance with a debt service coverage ratio (defined as sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by debt service obligations). Failure to meet certain of these requirements may result in a covenant violation or an event of default depending on the terms of the agreement. An event of default may allow lenders to declare amounts outstanding under these agreements immediately due and payable, to enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements or restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings. No covenant violations or technical defaults existed at December 31, 2025.

The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $230.0 million in the transaction. Issuance costs of approximately $12.6 million were charged against the gross proceeds as part of the transaction. The proceeds were recorded to the “Additional paid-in capital” line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with exception of the par value of common stock issued as part of the transaction.
As part of the subscription by BNDES, the Company is required to use the gross proceeds of $75.0 million from BNDES to pay for services performed in Brazil.

Note 9 – Common Stock Warrants
Warrants Classified as Equity
Public Warrants
The Company has outstanding warrants that are publicly traded on the NYSE (the “Public Warrants”) under the ticker EVEXW. 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 are exercisable 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 their 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 consummation of the Company's business combination on May 9,2022 (“Closing”) or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. 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.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement during the third quarter 2024, certain investors agreed to cancel approximately 3.3 million Public Warrants in exchange for approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock of the Company.
As of December 31, 2025, there were 12,478,852 Public Warrants outstanding.
New Warrants
The Company has entered into warrant agreements with certain strategic private investment in public equity investors (“Strategic PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions of each applicable warrant agreement. The Company has issued or has agreed to issue warrants to the Strategic PIPE Investors (the “New Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of either (i) $0.01 per share (“Penny Warrants”) or (ii) $15.00 or $11.50 per share (“Market Warrants”). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchaseone share of common stock of the Company, if applicable conditions have been met.
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 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 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. Forfeitures of New Warrants within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, are estimated by the Company and reviewed when circumstances change.
Penny Warrants
Penny Warrants issued or issuable to Strategic PIPE Investors 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.
Certain Penny Warrants have been issued and vested immediately upon Closing. The warrants were accounted for akin to a non-refundable upfront payment to the Strategic PIPE Investor and were recorded expense when incurred as the Company had no current revenue or binding contracts when the warrants vested.
Other Penny Warrants were issued or are issuable contingent upon meeting certain future conditions or Company milestones. These warrants are recognized when certain conditions are satisfied or milestones are determined probable. The consideration will be classified as either a reduction of revenue under ASC 606 if there are related revenue transactions in place at vesting or otherwise as expense. The vesting conditions and milestones are as follows: (a) receipt of binding eVTOL purchase commitments from certain Strategic Investors, (b) receipt of the first type certification for eVTOL in compliance with certain airworthiness authorities, (c) the time at which ten 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, (d) receipt of certain services and support agreements and (e) receipt of a binding purchase commitment from a third-party to purchase an eVTOL jointly developed by Embraer and a certain Strategic Investor.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement during the third quarter of 2024, an additional 2.5 million Penny Warrants were issued contingent upon the first type certification for the eVTOL in compliance with certain airworthiness authorities.
In October 2024, the Company and a supplier mutually agreed to discontinue their collaboration in advanced air mobility, which terminated 1,000,000 Penny Warrants.
The Penny Warrants were measured at fair value on the grant date. The grant date is either the original grant date or, in cases where there has been a modification to the underlying agreement, the effective date of the modified agreement is used as the new grant date for determining fair value. The grant date fair value of Penny Warrants was calculated by subtracting $0.01 from Company’s common stock share price on the grant date.
In July 2025, warrant holders exercised 3.0 million Penny Warrants for slightly less than 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The difference between the number of exercised warrants and issued common stock reflects a cashless exercise.
As of December 31, 2025, there were 18,022,536 Penny Warrants outstanding, of which 3,000,000 were vested and exercisable.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has 15,022,536 Penny Warrants linked to events that are not probable. Each warrant becomes exercisable only when its specified conditions are satisfied or its related milestone is deemed probable. Management has evaluated each such event and determined that none are probable as of December 31, 2025.
Market Warrants
Market Warrants were issued and vested immediately at Closing and have no contingencies. These warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, for classification and measurement and were expensed when vested. The warrants were determined to be equity-classified.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, an investor agreed to cancel 5.0 million Market Warrants with an exercise price of $11.50 in exchange for 2.0 million shares of common stock of the Company.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 12,000,000 Market Warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $15.00.
Warrants Classified as Liabilities
Private Warrants
The Company has outstanding warrants issued from private placements (the “Private Warrants”) prior to the Closing, which are recorded in the “Derivative financial instruments” line of the consolidated balance sheets. Each Private 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 Warrants have similar terms as the Public Warrants, except for the $0.01 cash redemption feature. However, in the event a Private 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 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 Warrants are liability classified.
During the fourth quarter of 2025,4,275,445 Private Warrants were transferred to non-permitted transferees. The balances of these Private Warrants were updated up to the transference date and subsequently reclassified from liability to equity.
As of December 31, 2025, there were 9,974,555 Private Warrants outstanding.
Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has derivative financial instrument liabilities of $5 million and $7.0 million, as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to the Private Warrants. The Company uses the share price of its Public Warrants as the input for the recurring fair value measurement of Private Warrants at the end of each reporting period within the “Derivative financial instruments” line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Public Warrants are used to remeasure the fair value as they have similar key terms. Refer to Note 9 and 11 for additional information.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 a loss of $0.1 million was recognized within the “Gain/(Loss) from derivative liabilities” line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31,2024 a gain of $7.0 million was recognized within the “Gain/(Loss) from derivative liabilities” line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations The change in fair value is included under operating activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Note 11– Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy, which has three 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, 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, are Level 2. Refer to Note 10 for the methodology for determining the fair value of Private Warrants.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no changes in the fair value methodology and no transfers between levels of the financial instruments.
The following table lists the Company’s financial liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy.
| December 31, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying · Fair Value · Carrying · Fair Value | ||||||||||||

Note 12– Share-Based Compensation
2022 Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the shareholders of the Company approved the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). The Plan will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. The number of common stock shares reserved under the Plan automatically increases on January 1 st of each calendar year (each, an “Evergreen Date”) prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, in amount equal to the lesser of (i)3% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the December 31 immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date and (ii) a number of shares of Eve common stock determined by the plan administrator, unless such increase is deemed unnecessary by the plan administrator. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is 12.3 million shares.
The awards that have been granted under the Plan consists of RSUs for the Company’s common stock. The awards contain service, performance, and/or market conditions that generally vest over 1-5 years. The RSU’s are settled by the Company with its own common stock upon achievement of the vesting conditions. There is neither repurchase obligations nor restrictions for the grantees to access the shares. The Company is allowed to net settle the award for statutory tax withholding purposes, but in no case exceeding the maximum statutory tax rates in the employees’ relevant tax jurisdictions. Therefore, the RSU’s are classified as equity.
The following table summarizes the RSU activity for service-based awards for the year ended December 31, 2025:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | Weighted-Average Requisite Period Remaining (Years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nonvested at December 31, 2024 | 1,015 | $6.44 | |
| Granted | 1,097 | $3.96 | |
| Vested | (283) | $7.40 | |
| Forfeited | (133) | $7.59 | |
| Nonvested at December 31, 2025 | 1,696 | $4.73 | 1.6 |
The weighted-average grant date fair value of service-based awards granted during the years 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $3.96, $5.38 and $7.71, respectively.
The following table summarizes the RSU activity for awards with market conditions for the year ended December 31, 2025:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | Weighted-Average Requisite Period Remaining (Years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nonvested at December 31, 2024 | 552 | $12.53 | |
| Granted | - | $0 | |
| Vested | - | $0 | |
| Forfeited | - | $0 | |
| Nonvested at December 31, 2025 | 552 | $0 | 0.0 |
For awards that are tied to market conditions, the grant date fair value was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model, which takes into account certain assumptions. The weighted-average assumptions used to value the awards are expected volatility of 50.8%, a risk-free rate of 4.2% and an expected term of 2.6 years for awards with market conditions granted during the year ended December 31, 2024. The expected volatility is based on the average implied volatility of publicly traded peer companies in a similar industry with extensive trading history. The final award is determined by the market value of the Company upon vesting and may equal 0% to 200% of the initial award depending on achievement of the market condition. The weighted-average grant date fair value of awards with market conditions during the year 2024 was $2.75.
Share-based compensation plan expense and tax benefits were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Share-based compensation expense | $4,313 | $3,699 | $3,292 |
| Tax benefit | $1,491 | $645 | $221 |
During 2023, the service period forfour directors was modified from three years toone. The incremental compensation expense related to this modification was $0.3 million. Additionally, one other award was modified forone employee. The modification affected the awards eligibility as the employee transitioned from employee to director. There wasno incremental share-based compensation expense associated with this modification.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $13.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense associated with nonvested awards issued under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
Note 13 – 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 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 years ended 2025,2024, 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.
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net loss | $(224,255) | $(138,168) | $(127,658) |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding – basic and diluted | 321,348 | 288,524 | 275,763 |
| Net loss per share – basic and diluted | $(0.70) | $(0.48) | $(0.46) |
| Penny Warrants included in Net loss per share calculation – basic and diluted | 3,000 | 6,000 | 6,900 |
The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Unvested restricted stock units | 2,681 | 1,567 | 1,132 |

Note 16 – Income Taxes
The Company was previously consolidated under the income tax return of the EAH consolidated tax group. For financial reporting purposes of the Company, income tax was calculated using a separate return methodology. Under this method, the Company prepared the financial statements as if it would file separate returns with tax authorities. As a result, the Company’s deferred tax balances and effective tax rate as a stand-alone entity would likely differ significantly from those calculated in the actual consolidated return with EAH.
Following the 2025 Registered Direct Offering, Embraer owns less than 80% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which under the U.S. tax code, resulted in a tax deconsolidation from EAH. The Company will now begin to file separate tax returns. The tax deconsolidation also terminated the Tax Sharing Agreement (“TSA”) between EAH and the Company and effectuates the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) between the two parties (collectively, “the Tax Agreements”), which was entered into on May 9, 2022.
Per the terms of the Tax Agreements, for periods in which the Company’s inclusion in the EAH consolidated tax group decreases the tax liability of EAH, tax benefits generated by the Company that are realized by EAH will be recorded in an off-book register and will apply to offset future payments due from the Company to EAH under the TSA. If any tax benefits that have accumulated during the period in which the Company was a member of the EAH consolidated tax group have not been applied to offset payments under the TSA at the time the Company ceases to be a member of the consolidated tax group, such uncompensated tax benefits can be used to offset amounts payable by the Company to EAH under the TRA.
Upon tax deconsolidation, the Company inherits the tax attributes of the entity that has departed from the EAH consolidated tax group. Historically, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company's operating losses were utilized by EAH within its consolidated tax return. Consequently, these tax attributes were not retained by the Company upon tax deconsolidation. The pro-forma net operating loss tax asset, previously recorded on a separate return basis for financial reporting, was therefore written off in 2025. This adjustment is the primary driver for the unfavorable variance presented in the rate reconciliation table under "NOL Write Offs.”
Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will in certain circumstances be required to pay 75% of the net income tax savings realized to EAH as a result of increases in tax basis in the assets or certain of its subsidiaries resulting from the Pre-Closing Restructuring and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA.
Under the separate return methodology, tax loss carryforwards and valuation allowances were reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon tax deconsolidation, the tax loss carryforwards and valuation allowance conclusions continue to be appropriate. Finally, under applicable law, the Company will not be permitted to join the filing of a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with other Embraer subsidiaries for the five-year waiting period.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and applied the new disclosure requirements prospectively to the current annual period. Prior period disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the new disclosure requirements. See Note 16 – Income Taxes in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
The Company did not incur or pay income taxes in the United States for the year ended December 31, 2025, as it does not have taxable income subject to U.S. federal or state income tax. However, the Company is subject to taxation in Brazil. During the current year, the Company paid $1.3 million, net of refunds, in income taxes to the Government of Brazil in connection with its operations in that jurisdiction.
Our net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2025, after tax deconsolidation from EAH, were approximately $123.8 million before tax effects, generated in 2025. These losses can be carried forward indefinitely for US and may be subject to annual limitations under applicable tax law.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets (“DTA”), management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. For Eve Brazil, based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of its deductible differences. The valuation allowance decreased $55.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to the write-offs of net operating loss for the year. The net operating losses for 2025 and 2024 were generated mainly due to expenditures with R&D projects, administrative expenses and the tax amortization on the step-up. Net operating losses do not expire in both jurisdictions where the Company operates (U.S. and Brazil).
The Company has no history of tax audits, nevertheless the Company believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from federal, state and foreign tax audits. The Company regularly assesses the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of the tax provision. Open tax years range from fiscal years 2022 to 2025. However, because we are carrying forward income tax attributes, such as net operating losses and tax credits from earlier tax years, these attributes can still be audited when utilized on returns filed in the future. There wereno additions, reductions, or settlements of unrecognized tax benefits during 2025. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 no interest or penalties have been accrued due to uncertain tax positions.
Recent Legislation
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("the ACT") was enacted into law on July 4, 2025. The ACT provides for modifications to U.S. tax law including changes to interest deductibility, Research and development expenses, bonus depreciation, and various international provisions. The legislation did not have a material impact on our income tax expense or effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Note 17 – Leases
Leases primarily consist of office space and facilities with related parties or equipment with third parties. 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 is 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. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and a corresponding lease liability are recognized 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 or terminate the lease term are considered when it is reasonably certain the options will be exercised.
The following is a summary of balance sheet components of leases as of December 31:
| Supplemental balance sheet information | 2025 | 2024 |

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has two lease agreements with Embraer that have not yet commenced. One agreement is for a facility in Gavião Peixoto, São Paulo, Brazil. The lease is expected to commence in 2026. The other lease agreement is for a property in Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil, which was executed on August 13, 2024. This property is expected to be used to develop the Company’s manufacturing facility for eVTOL production. The lease agreement included a commitment by the Company to invest a minimum of R$15.0 million (or approximately $2.7 million using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2025) in leasehold improvements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $4.4 million in prepaid lease costs, which is recognized in the “Other non-current assets” line of the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any accruals for loss contingencies associated with litigations.
The Company will make accruals related to loss contingencies in instances where it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Loss contingencies that are either reasonably possible but not probable or probable but not reasonably estimable, are disclosed in the notes to these consolidated financial statements.
On March 3, 2025, a putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against EAH, our directors and certain of our officers, asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims related to the 2024 Private Placement of common stock and warrants that were issued to EAH in September 2024. Eve Holding was also named as a nominal defendant in the case. The action is captioned Taylor v. Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2025-0233-NAC. The complaint seeks, among other things, declaratory relief, damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses. Pursuant to the operative scheduling order, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2025.
On May 28, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion to certify questions regarding the constitutionality of recent amendments to 8 Del. C. § 144, which related to certain arguments raised in the defendants’ respective motions to dismiss, to the Delaware Supreme Court. On June 20, 2025, the Court entered a joint stipulated order staying all proceedings pending the Delaware Supreme Court’s resolution of overlapping constitutional questions regarding the recent amendments 8 Del. C. § 144 raised in another unrelated action, Rutledge v. Clearway Energy Group LLC, et al., C.A. No. 2025-0499-LWW.On February 27, 2026, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an opinion upholding the constitutionality of the recent amendments to 8 Del. C. § 144. Per the stipulated order staying all proceedings, the parties are expected to submit a proposed schedule to the Court for resuming proceedings in the action by March 24, 2026.
Based on the early stage of the case, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome or estimate the range of possible loss, if any.
Due to the nature of our business, from time to time, we are or may be subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things, performance matters under our supplier contracts and other business arrangements, workers’ compensation, premises liability and other claims. We do not expect that any of these disputes and claims will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows.
BNDES Subscription Agreement
In connection with the subscription agreement entered into with BNDES, as described in Note 7, the Company agreed to covenants requiring the Company to use the gross proceeds from the subscription of BDRs in the amount of approximately $75.0 million to pay for services performed in Brazil. The Company must fully use the proceeds no later than August 15, 2028, subject to two additional one year extensions if mutually agreed by the Company and BNDES. The covenants also require services to be paid for in Brazilian reais, quarterly reporting to BNDES of the amounts used and unused, and other standard terms and conditions. If these covenants are breached, BNDES will have the right to liquidated damages equal to the amount of unused proceeds from the subscription of BDRs.
Economic Grant Agreement
On May 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Economic Grant Agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) with Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (“Finep”), a Brazilian federal public company, with support of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, and The National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development. Pursuant to the Grant Agreement, Finep has agreed to grant to the Company up to R$90.0 million (approximately $16.9 million) in economic subsidy funding in connection with the execution of a project intended to transform the sustainable and accessible air mobility ecosystem in Brazil with eVTOL technology (the “Project”). The grant is expected in two installments. The timing of their release and respective values with respect to the funding are subject to certain terms and conditions under the Grant Agreement, including budgetary and financial availability, as well as the conditions determined by the Executive Board of Finep. In addition, the Company continues to participate in the costs of preparing and executing the Project with its own resources, in the minimum amount of R$100.8 million (approximately $18.9 million) as well as to contribute the necessary resources to cover any shortcomings or additions in its execution.
The Project resources provided under the Grant Agreement shall be used by the Company within 36 months from the date of signing of the Grant Agreement, after which the unused installments will be automatically canceled. The period of use of the resources may be extended, at the discretion and in accordance with the internal rules of Finep, upon prior request of the Company, respecting the term of validity of the Grant Agreement. The Grant Agreement can be terminated early by Finep in certain events provided for in the Grant Agreement.
For business entities, US GAAP is not prescriptive regarding accounting for government grants. Therefore, management evaluated the transaction and concluded the grant was determined to be within the scope of ASC 958-605, Revenue Recognition for Not-for-Profit Entities, specifically covering the recognition and measurement of contributions.
Revenue (or other income) related to the grant is recognized as the conditions of the grant agreement are met, which includes the incurrence of eligible project costs. Grant proceeds are recognized only to the extent that the Company has satisfied the performance requirements specified in the agreement. Upon receipt of the grant funds, the Company records a Subsidies and grants liability for the amount received, as the related conditions of the grant have not yet been satisfied. This liability is subsequently reduced and recognized as revenue (or other income) as eligible project costs are incurred and the conditions of the grant agreement are met.
As of December 31, 2025, approximately $6.9 million has been received under the Grant Agreement. The Company has incurred eligible costs of $6.9 million and made a deposit of $1.5 million into a specific bank account for funding of the Finep grant, in order to receive the first installment from Finep. The deposit and cash received under the grant agreement is classified as “Restricted cash” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the restriction as to withdrawal or usage under the terms of the contractual agreement.
Note 19 – Segments
Segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reports provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified as the chief executive officer. Given the Company’s pre-revenue operating stage, it currently has no concentration exposure to products, services or customers. The Company is developing three business units that will provide unique products or services, which were determined to be the reportable segments, 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 wellas lessors 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 (named “TechCare”), 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.
Urban Air Traffic Management (“UATM”)The Company is developing next-generation UATM software (named “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 plans to offer Vector software to customers that include air navigation service providers, fleet operators and vertiport operators.
The CODM regularly receives and reviewsone measure of profit or loss by segment, which is also the sole significant expense for each segment – research and development expenses. This expense information and the physical progress of the projects by segment are used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources between segments. Asset information by segment is not presented to the CODM.
