EVE Holding, Inc.
(FORMERLY EVE UAM, LLC)
1. Organization and Nature of Business
The Company and Nature of Business
Eve Holding, Inc. (“Eve”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, is an aerospace company with operations in Melbourne, Florida and 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.
Eve 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 electrical vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) project, a comprehensive global services and support network and a unique air traffic management solution.
Business Combination
On December 21, 2021, Zanite entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Embraer S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) (“ERJ”), Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EAH”) wholly owned by ERJ, and EVE UAM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Eve Sub”), a subsidiary of EAH, that was formed for purposes of conducting the UAM Business (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
On May 9, 2022, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”) occurred, pursuant to which Zanite issued
On December 21, 2021, December 24, 2021, March 9, 2022, March 16, 2022 and April 4, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, Zanite entered into subscription agreements or amendments thereto (as amended from time to time, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, including certain strategic investors and/or investors with existing relationships with ERJ (the “Strategic Investors”), Zanite Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and EAH (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, Zanite agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors in private placements to close immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of
Upon Closing, all shares of Zanite Class A and Class B common stock were converted into, on a basis, shares of common stock of Eve Holding.
Both ERJ and Zanite's sponsors incurred costs in connection with the Business Combination ("Transaction Costs"). The Transaction Costs that were determined to be directly attributable and incremental to the Business Combination were deferred and recorded as other assets in the balance sheet until the Closing. Such costs amounted to $
Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of shares by Eve for the net monetary assets of Zanite accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Eve (or the "UAM Business", as applicable) became the historical financial statements of the Company, and the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Zanite were consolidated with Eve beginning on the Closing date. For accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Eve. The net assets of Zanite were recorded at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the transaction are presented as those of Eve (or the "UAM Business", as applicable) in future reports of the Company.
The financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Eve prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of Eve and Zanite following the Closing ; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Eve at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.
EAH did not lose control over Eve as a result of the Closing because EAH held approximately

COVID-19 Pandemic
The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020 with respect to the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19 pandemic. There are many uncertainties regarding the continuing global COVID-19 pandemic, the full impact of which continues to evolve as of the date hereof. Eve is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic situation and its impacts on its employees, operations, the global economy, the supply and the demand for its products and services, including the UAM Business.
The full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations remains uncertain. Management is actively monitoring the situation on its operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Prior to the separation from ERJ, Eve has historically operated as part of ERJ and not as a standalone company. The audited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2021, have been derived from ERJ and EAH historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. As of January 1, 2022, Eve began accounting for its financial activities as an independent entity. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, consists of Eve’s accounting data, and, in a minor portion, certain EAH’s general and administrative expenses that still had to be carved out. The balances of Eve Soluções de Mobilidade Aérea Urbana Ltda. ("Eve Brazil"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Eve, that were recorded in foreign currency and were converted/translated into its functional currency, the US dollar, before being presented on the consolidated financial statements. ERJ started charging the UAM related R&D and G&A expenses to Eve through the Master Service Agreement (MSA) and Shared Service Agreement (SSA). Therefore, there was no need to continue carving out most of the expenses from ERJ and EAH. Until the Closing date, the EAH’s incurred cost, which was attributed to the UAM Business and represents its cost of doing business, was carved out due to restrictions for EAH to charge Eve under the Master Service Agreement and the Shared Service Agreement. All intercompany transactions’ balances between Eve Holding, EVE UAM, LLC "Eve US" and Eve Brazil (collective, the "Eve Entities") were eliminated.
Until the Closing date, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Eve reflect the assets, liabilities, and expenses that management determined to be specifically attributable to Eve, as well as allocations of certain corporate level assets, liabilities and expenses, deemed necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Eve, as discussed further below. Management believes that the assumptions used as basis for the allocations of expenses, direct and indirect, as well as assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual amounts that would have been recorded had Eve operated as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented.
Prior to May 9, 2022, as a part of ERJ, Eve was dependent upon ERJ for all of its working capital and financing requirements, as ERJ uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents, debt or related interest expense have not been allocated to Eve in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Financing transactions related to Eve were accounted for as a component of Net Parent Investment in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and as a financing activity on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars 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 SEC.
The carve-out methodology was used since Eve’s inception until the Closing date. Thus, after May 9, 2022, no carve-out amounts were included in Eve’s financial statements.
As of the Closing, ERJ concluded that all the assets and liabilities of Eve were contributed by ERJ. No other assets or liabilities are evaluated to be attributable to Eve or that would be transferred to Eve upon the completion of the Business Combination, eliminating the necessity to allocate a portion of ERJ’s assets and liabilities to Eve on a carve-out basis. Thus, Management deemed it to be more appropriate to adopt a legal entity approach as of January 1, 2022, rather than a management approach.
| F-8 |
The management approach takes into consideration the assets that are being transferred to determine the most appropriate financial statement presentation. A management approach may also be appropriate when a parent entity needs to prepare financial statements for the sale of a legal entity, but prior to divestiture, certain significant operations of the legal entity are contributed to the parent in a common control transaction. On the other hand, the legal entity approach is often appropriate in circumstances when the transaction structure is aligned with the legal entity structure of the divested entity. One example would be when shares of a legal entity or a consolidated group of legal entities are divested. If the legal entity approach is deemed appropriate, all historical results of the legal entity, including those that are not ultimately transferred, should be presented in the historical financial statements through the date of transfer.
On December 14, 2021, the Company signed with ERJ the MSA and the SSA, through which ERJ charges Eve for a significant part of the expenses Eve was previously carving out. As previously explained, only a minor portion of Eve’s expenses, comprised of general overhead expenses, was allocated to Eve in order to better present its results in a stand-alone basis. With respect to the MSA and SSA, refer to Note 4 Related Party Transactions.
Since the financial activities from the MSA and SSA signature date to December 31, 2021 were immaterial, Management chose to continue with the management approach for all of the year ended December 31, 2021 and to use the legal entity approach beginning January 1, 2022. Management continued to use the legal entity approach until the SPAC transaction was consummated on May 9, 2022 (i.e. after this date no carve-out amounts were added to Eve's financial statements). The Company has recorded the impacts of the balance sheet adjustment (i.e. separation-related adjustment) for the change in methodology as adjustments to the January 1, 2022 beginning balance sheet and not as a period activity attributable to the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The January 1, 2022 beginning balance sheet adjustments from the December 31, 2021 balances were as follows:

Therefore, Management considers the legal entity approach to be the most meaningful representation of Eve’s standalone carve-out financial statements.
The change in the carve-out approach impacted the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flow until May 9, 2022. Amounts that were previously presented as Transfer from Parent are now presented as a noncash item contributed by the Parent.

For periods ended as of or prior to December 31, 2021, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information includes both direct and indirect expenses. The historical direct expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, labor taxes, profit sharing program, benefits, short and long-term incentive) of research and development employees directly involved in UAM activities, research expenses, facilities depreciation and others. The indirect expenses consist of personnel-related costs (including salaries, labor taxes, profit sharing program, benefits, short and long term incentive) allocated to Eve and general and administrative overhead, including expenses for information systems, accounting, other financial services (such as treasury, audit and purchasing), human resources, legal, and facilities, allocated as per headcount of employees exclusively involved in UAM activities compared to the total headcount of all ERJ employees or using an expense input comparing the total R&D expenses of Eve against the total R&D expenses of ERJ’s market accelerator and disruptive business innovation company (“EmbraerX”). Eve has calculated its income tax amounts using a separate return methodology and it has presented these amounts as if it were a separate taxpayer from ERJ and EAH.
For periods ended as of or prior to December 31, 2021, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets of Eve include other assets, capitalized software, accounts payable and other payables that were allocated on a specific identification basis. Derivative instruments used to hedge the salaries for employees directly involved in UAM activities were allocated by comparing the salaries of these employees in Brazilian reais (“BRL” or “R$”) against the total employees’ salaries of ERJ in BRL, and for employees not directly involved in UAM activities the expense input approach using R&D metrics, noted above, was used to allocate the Derivatives instruments. Incentive payments received in advance, which were related to service arrangements to process employee payroll were allocated based on a headcount proportion basis.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is not an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Functional and reporting currency
Management has concluded that the US dollar ("USD") is the functional and reporting currency of Eve. Therefore, the condensed combined consolidated financial statements that were derived from Eve Entities’ financial statements are presented in USD.
The foreign currency gains and losses are related to transactions with suppliers recognized in the functional currency, USD, but settled in BRL. The impacts were recognized in “Financial and foreign exchange gain/ (loss), net” within the combined statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed combined 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 recognize that the actual results could be materially different from the estimates. Until December 31, 2021, under the management approach, the significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the unaudited condensed combined financial statements include, but are not limited to, useful lives of capitalized software, net, accrued liabilities, income taxes including deferred tax assets and liabilities. Under the legal entity approach, the significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value measurement and income taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments, usually maturing within 90 days of the investment date, readily convertible into a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Financial Investments
Our financial investments consist in time deposits (investment available in USD, in which a determined amount is invested for a period of time with a fixed interest rate) with maturity date over 90 days.
Fair Value Measurements
Eve applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 relate to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level - 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level - 2 - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level - 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s other assets, related party receivable and payable, accounts payables and other payables, except for the long-term incentive plan and the warrants, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the liabilities related to the long-term incentive plan included in other payables was determined using the Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the derivative instruments was determined using the Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. The fair value of financial investments and the warrants were determined using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, respectively.
Hedge accounting
Until December 31, 2021, the Company accounted for certain derivative instruments under the cash flow hedge accounting methodology to hedge against the payroll cash flow volatility attributable to a risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuation associated with highly probable forecast transactions that will affect income or loss for the year. Effective January 1, 2022, no hedge transactions were observed since the derivative contracts were not transferred to Eve.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated in hedging relationships changes in the fair value are recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”), to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. The cash flow impact of the derivative instruments is included in our combined statement of cash flows in net cash used in operating activities.
The Company only enters into derivative contracts that it intends to designate as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). For all hedging relationships, the Eve formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
| F-11 |
Eve discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge. Additionally, when it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, Eve recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive loss related to the hedging relationship.
In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, Eve continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings.
Capitalized software, net
Eve had capitalized software until December 31, 2021, consisting of software licenses that were recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and if applicable, impairment charges. Software licenses are amortized over their useful lives which is approximately
Long-term incentive plan
Until December 31, 2021, Eve carved-out certain amounts related to the ERJ long-term incentive plan (LTIP). The LTIP plan has the objective of retaining and attracting qualified personnel who will make an effective contribution to Eve’s future performance. 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 acquisition period the participant receives the quantity of virtual shares converted into BRL, at the shares’ current market value. Eve recognizes the obligation during the acquisition period (quantity of virtual shares proportional to the period) in the same group as the participant’s normal remuneration. This obligation is presented within the line-item entitled “Other payable,” and the fair value is calculated based on the market price of the shares and recorded as “General and administrative” expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2022, Eve has assumed obligations under the LTIP towards certain employees transferred from ERJ to Eve.
Eve has its own remuneration plan, the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, which grants its employees, management and, non-employees restricted stock units (RSUs) of our common stock. We recognize stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards made to employees, management, and non-employees to be based on the grant date fair values of the awards. We estimate the fair value of share options using the Monte Carlo option-pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. Determining the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo option-pricing models requires management to make assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to the following:
Vesting period — The estimate of the expected vesting period of performance conditions is determined based on management’s best estimate of when the milestones will be achieved. As of May 9, 2022, certain milestones had already been met, thus, no estimation was necessary.
Expected volatility — Since we were a private entity without sufficient historical data on the volatility of our common stock, the expected volatility used is based on the implied volatility of company’s public traded warrants.
Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate used to value awards is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period consistent with the expected term of the award.
Dividend yield — We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Forfeiture rate — We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and will record stock-based compensation expense assuming all option holders will complete the requisite service period. If a grantee forfeits an award because he fails to complete the requisite service period, we will reverse stock-based compensation expense previously recognized in the period the award is forfeited.

Research and Development
R&D efforts are focused on design and development of our eVTOL and UATM projects to achieve manufacturing and commercial stage. Under U.S. GAAP, R&D costs within the scope of ASC 730 are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of personnel-related costs (including salaries, labor taxes, profit sharing program, benefits, short and long-term incentive) for employees focused on R&D activities, supplies and materials costs. Until December 31, 2021 most of these expenses were carved-out from ERJ and effective January 1, 2022, ERJ started charging Eve for most of such costs under the MSA (see Note 4 for more details about the MSA).
Selling, General and Administrative
Until December 31, 2021, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of allocated expenses of personnel-related costs (including salaries, labor taxes, profit sharing program, benefits, short- and long-term incentives), information systems, accounting, other financial services (such as treasury, audit and purchasing), human resources, legal, facilities, and other corporate expenses. Prior to the fiscal 2022 such expenses have been allocated to the UAM Business based on the most relevant allocation method for the services provided, primarily based on headcount of employees exclusively involved in the UAM Business’ activities compared to the total headcount of all ERJ employees as these measures reflect the historical utilization levels.
Selling expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, contractor and travel expenses aiming the UAM business development and to support our commercialization efforts.
The total amounts of these allocations from the parent company were $711,624 and $
Beginning on January 1, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses are mostly comprised of Eve's own expenses.
| F-13 |
Income Taxes
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. Eve has calculated its income tax amounts using a separate return methodology. Under this method, Eve assumes it will file separate returns with tax authorities, thereby reporting its taxable income or loss and paying the applicable tax to or receiving the appropriate refund from EAH. As a result, Eve’s deferred tax balances and effective tax rate as a stand-alone entity will likely differ significantly from those recognized in historical periods. 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 tax loss carryforwards and valuation allowances reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a hypothetical stand-alone income tax return basis and may not exist in the ERJ consolidated financial statements.
Eve accounts for uncertain income tax positions recognized in the unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a
Segments
Operating segment information is presented in a manner consistent with the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The chief operating decision-makers, who are responsible for allocating resources among and assessing the performance of the operating segments and for making strategic decisions, are Eve’s Co-Chief Executive Officers. 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 in
eVTOL: the aircraft is in the preliminary design stage of development. This vehicle is expected to have eight (
UATM: the segment will provide traffic management services to vehicles operating in the UAM Operating Environment (“UOE”). UATM will be a system of systems focused on improving the efficiency and safety of UAM operations. UATM systems will focus on existing and emerging operators of both the vehicles (fleet operators) and ground infrastructure (vertiport/heliport operators).
Service and Support: a full suite of eVTOL service and support capabilities, including material services, maintenance, technical support, training, ground handling and data services. Our services will be offered on an agnostic basis – supporting both our eVTOL and those produced by third-parties. We expect to leverage the global support network of Embraer to deploy our eVTOL services in an efficient, cost-effective and scalable manner.
| F-14 |
The CODMs receive information related to the operating results based on the directly attributable cost by each R&D project. As Eve was operated within the Embraer Corporate infrastructure, the indirect costs were not included in the information analyzed by the CODMs. Assets information by segment is not presented to the CODMs. The information provided to the CODMs is as follows:

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Stock
In connection with the Closing, all the issued and outstanding Zanite shares of Class A common stock, including the shares of Class A common stock issued to the PIPE Investors, were converted into, on a basis, shares of common stock of Eve Holding. In addition, the Company has also entered into warrant agreements with certain of the Strategic PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of each applicable warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to the Strategic PIPE Investors warrants to purchase an aggregate amount of (i)
Basic net loss per common stock excludes dilutive units and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to shareholders 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. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, the effects of any incremental potential common stock have been excluded from the calculation of loss per common stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Due to the losses incurred during the presented periods, the weighted-average common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common stock are the same for both periods.
| F-15 |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the Statement of Operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
There were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had material impacts to the Company.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Updated ("ASU" 2019-12), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for Eve’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. Eve is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform of financial reporting, providing an optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Eve has no contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that the LIBOR is applied as reference rate, thus no impact is expected in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Related Party Transactions
Relationship with ERJ
Prior to the separation from ERJ, Eve was managed, operated, and funded by ERJ. Accordingly, certain shared costs have been allocated to Eve and reflected as expenses in Eve's stand-alone unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The expenses reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of expenses that will be incurred by Eve in the future.
a) Corporate cost
ERJ incurred corporate costs for services provided to the UAM Business. These costs include expenses for information systems, accounting, other financial services such as treasury, audit and purchasing, and human resources, legal, and facilities.
Until December 31, 2021, a portion of these costs that benefited the UAM Business, was allocated to the UAM Business using a pro-rata method based on R&D project related costs, headcount, or other measures that management believes are consistent and reasonable.
The allocated corporate costs included in the unaudited condensed combined consolidated statement of operations were approximately $
Effective January 1, 2022 ERJ started charging Eve for administrative services under the SSA (see more details below).

c) Master Service Agreement and Shared Service Agreement
In connection with the transfer of the UAM Business to Eve, ERJ and Eve entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) and Shared Service Agreement (the “SSA”) on December 14, 2021. The initial terms for the MSA and SSA are
As of June 30, 2022, there is an outstanding related party payable of $
Fees and Expenses in connection with the MSA are set to be payable within forty-five (
d) Related party receivable/payable
Certain employees were transferred from ERJ to Eve. On the transfer date of each employee, all payroll related accruals were assumed by Eve and it recognized a Related party receivable from ERJ. Additionally, EAH transferred certain liabilities related to the Eve business, which led to the recognition of a receivable from EAH. This receivable balance is decreased when EAH pays for corporate expenses (e.g. health insurance) on behalf of Eve.
As of June 30, 2022, there is an outstanding Related party receivable balance of $
e) Royalty-free licenses
The agreements with ERJ also allow Eve to access royalty-free license to ERJ's background intellectual property to be used within the UAM market.

7. Warrant liabilities
Before the Closing, Zanite had issued
The exercise period of the warrants started
Prior to the Closing both Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were classified as liabilities with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.
Upon the Closing, all shares of Zanite Class A and Class B common stock were converted into, on a basis, shares of common stock of Eve Holding. As such, in a hypothetical change-in-control scenario, all holders of the stocks would receive cash. Thus, the Public Warrants were reclassified to equity.
Private Placement Warrants can be exercised by the initial holders at their election on a cashless basis which would bring variable elements to the exercise as per the agreement, therefore they are accounted for as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit & loss. Refer to the Note 14 for more information about the warrants’ measurement.

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 therefor.
In the event of our 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.

| F-21 |
New Warrants
In addition to the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, the Company has also entered into warrant agreements with certain of the 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 to the Strategic PIPE Investors warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase an aggregate amount of (i)
The New Warrants issuable upon the receipt of binding commitments from certain Strategic Investors for an aggregate of 500 eVTOL's are share-based payment award granted to customers in conjunction with a revenue arrangement that are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and are accounted for under ASC 606, as consideration payable to a customer. Furthermore, the award is measured at its grant date and classified as equity or as a liability in accordance with ASC 718. The grant date is the date on which the Company and grantee (i.e., the customer) reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. Management considers this to be the date when the respective Warrant Agreements are signed (i.e., December 21, 2021). Management notes that on this date, all the terms and conditions related to the warrants (i.e., exercise price, shares, vesting terms, etc.) are fixed and agreed upon. Since these binding commitments (or any other agreement, as applicable) have not been signed yet, there is no revenue contract as per ASC 606, with the customer. Therefore, Management considers that there is no grant date recognition adjustment to account for until such time as the binding commitments (or other performance condition) is executed (i.e., there is a revenue contract under ASC 606). Management evaluated these warrants with potential customers and determined that they are equity classified in accordance with ASC 718.
Management determined that the New Warrants not associated with potential future customers are freestanding instruments and are not classified as a liability according to the criteria in ASC 480. Management also concluded that the issued New Warrants should be classified as equity as per ASC 815-40.

The following table lists the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy. 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.
During the three-months period ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in the fair value methodology of the financial instruments and, therefore, there were no transfers between levels.

The Company’s Private Placement Warrant liability as of June 30, 2022 is based on a valuation model utilizing 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. The Company used a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants.
The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on expected implied volatility from publicly traded warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at

Market risk
a) Interest rate risk
This risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses on the fluctuation of floating interest rates, which might increase financial expenses of financial liabilities, and/ or decrease financial income of financial assets, as well as negatively impacting the fair value of financial assets measured as at fair value. The lines of the consolidated financial statements most affected by interest rate risks are:
• Cash and cash equivalents and financial investments – the Company’s policy for managing the risk of fluctuations in interest rates on financial investments is to maintain a system to measure market risk, which consists of an aggregate analysis of a variety of risk factors that might affect the return of those investments.
On June 30, 2022, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and financial investments were indexed as follows:

Sensitivity analysis
In order to present positive and negative variations of
However, statistical simplifications were made in isolating the variability of the risk factors in question. Consequently, the following estimates do not necessarily represent the amounts that might be determined in future consolidated financial statements. The use of different hypotheses and/or methodologies could have a material effect on the estimates presented below.
Considering the assumption that balances remain constant as compared to June 30, 2022, the Company calculates the interest and exchange variation differential for each of the projected scenarios.
The assessment of the amounts exposed to interest rate risk considers only the risks for the financial statement, therefore operations subject to fixed interest rates were not included. The probable scenario is supported by an average of market projections, observed through Bloomberg, for the related financial indexes and rates in a period of up to three months from reporting date, and positive and negative variations of

19. Responsibilities and Commitments
On August 2, 2021, Eve Soluções de Mobilidade Aérea Urbana Ltda. signed an agreement with ERJ to lease
On December 15, 2021, Eve UAM, LLC signed a sub-sublease agreement with Embraer Engineering & Technology Center (EETC), a wholy owned ERJ subsidiary, to lease a facility in Melbourne, Florida.
After assessing the terms of both agreements, Management concluded that the lease term has not commenced as of June 30, 2022. Thus, no assets or liabilities were recognized.
The Company also entered into the following agreements at Closing:
•A Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by the Company of
•A Tax Sharing Agreement, which generally applies if EAH and the Company are members of the same consolidated group, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. The Tax Sharing Agreement governs certain matters related to the resulting consolidated federal income tax returns, as well as state and local returns filed on a consolidated or combined basis. Generally, the consolidated group’s parent would be liable for the income taxes of the group members (including the Company), rather than the Company being required to pay such income taxes itself. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for payments from the Company to EAH based on the increase to EAH’s income tax liability as a result of the Company being a member of such group. However, the Tax Sharing Agreement will generally disregard
The Company concluded that these agreements do not have impacts to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022.

The following discussion and analysis provide information that Eve's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Eve's consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with the unaudited interim statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” of our Form S-1/A filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 29, 2022, “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
Eve Holding, Inc. (“Eve”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, is an aerospace company with operations in Melbourne, Florida and 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 that was 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.
Eve’s goal is to be a leading company in the urban air mobility ("UAM") market by taking a holistic approach to developing a UAM solution that includes: the design and production of electrical vertical take-off and landing vehicles (“eVTOLs”); a portfolio of maintenance and support services focused on Eve’s and third-party eVTOLs; fleet operations services conducted in collaboration with partners; and a new air traffic management system for eVTOLs, otherwise known as Urban Air Traffic Management (“UATM”) system designed to allow eVTOLs to operate safely and efficiently in dense urban airspace alongside conventional aircraft and drones. Eve’s mission is to bring affordable air transportation to all passengers, improve quality of life, unleash economic productivity, save passengers time and reduce global carbon emissions. Eve plans to leverage its strategic relationship with Embraer to de-risk and accelerate its development plans, while saving costs by utilizing Embraer’s extensive resources.
Eve’s Business Model
Eve plans to fuel the development of the UAM ecosystem by providing a complete portfolio of UAM solutions across four primary offerings:
eVTOL Production and Design. Eve is designing and certifying an eVTOL purpose-built for UAM missions. Eve plans to market its eVTOLs globally to operators of UAM services, including fixed wing and helicopter operators, as well as lessors that purchase and manage aircraft on behalf of operators.
Service and Support. Eve 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.
Fleet Operations. Eve plans to build a fleet operations business in collaboration with selected partners. Eve plans to establish revenue and risk sharing partnerships that will allow it to scale its fleet operations in a capital efficient manner and grow rapidly in a partner-by-partner manner.
Urban Air Traffic Management. Eve is developing a next-generation UATM system to help enable eVTOLs to operate safely and efficiently in dense urban airspace along with conventional fixed wing and rotary aircraft and unmanned drones. Eve expects to offer its UATM solution primarily as a subscription software offering to customers that include air navigation service providers, fleet operators and vertiport operators.
To date, Eve has not generated any revenue, as it continues to develop its eVTOL vehicles and other UAM solutions. As a result, Eve will require substantial additional capital to develop products and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Until Eve can generate any revenue from product sales and services, it expects to finance operations through a combination of existing cash on hand, public offerings, private placements and debt financings. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of development efforts.
Recent Developments - Business Combination with Zanite
On December 10, 2021, Zanite entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Embraer S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) (“ERJ”), Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EAH”) wholly owned by ERJ, and EVE UAM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Eve Sub”), wholly owned by EAH, that was formed for purposes of conducting the UAM Business (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
On May 9, 2022, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreements (the “Business Combination”) occurred, pursuant to which Zanite issued 220,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to EAH in exchange for the transfer by EAH to Zanite of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Eve (the "Equity Exchange"). As a result of the Business Combination, Eve is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zanite, which has changed its name to “Eve Holding, Inc.” Upon the Closing, the Company received approximately $377.0 in gross cash proceeds, consisting of approximately $19.7 million from the Zanite trust account and $357.3 million from the PIPE Investment, as defined in Note 1 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Other Key Agreements
Eve has entered into a Master Services Agreement with Embraer, a Master Services Agreement with Atech, a Services Agreement with the Brazilian Subsidiary, a Shared Services Agreement with Embraer, EAH and the Brazilian Subsidiary. Pursuant to the MSAs with Embraer and Atech, each of Embraer and Atech, either directly or through their respective affiliates, will provide certain services and products to Eve and its subsidiaries, including, among others, product development of eVTOL, services development, parts planning, technical support, AOG support, MRO planning, training, special programs, technical publications development, technical publications management and distribution, operation, engineering, designing and administrative services and in the future eVTOL manufacturing services. Eve expects to collaborate with Embraer and leverage Embraer’s expertise as an aircraft producer, which will help it design and manufacture eVTOLs with low maintenance and operational costs and design systems and processes for maintenance, develop pilot training programs and establish operations. The services provided under the Shared Services Agreement include, among others, corporate and administrative services to Eve. In addition, Eve has also entered into the Data Access Agreement with Embraer and the Brazilian subsidiary, pursuant to which, among other things, Embraer has agreed to provide the Brazilian Subsidiary with access to certain of its intellectual property and proprietary information in order to facilitate the execution of the specific activities that are set out in certain of the statements of work entered into pursuant to the Services Agreements.
The aforementioned services agreements continue to be in full force and effect. Further information about such agreements is set forth beginning on page 123 of our Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on April 13, 2022, in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Ancillary Agreements — Services Agreements,” and that information is incorporated herein by reference.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
For further discussion on the risks attendant to the Key Factors Affecting Operating Results, see the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Risk Factors” in our Form S-1/A filed with the SEC on July 29, 2022.
Brazilian Economic Environment
The Brazilian government has frequently intervened in the Brazilian economy and occasionally made drastic changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and affect other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies and incentives, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. Changes in Brazil’s monetary, credit, tariff and other policies could adversely affect our business, as could inflation, currency and interest-rate fluctuations, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments in Brazil, as well as the Brazilian government’s response to these developments.
Rapid changes in Brazilian political and economic conditions that have occurred and may occur require continued assessment of the risks associated with our activities and the adjustment of our business and operating strategy accordingly. Developments in Brazilian government policies, including changes in the current policy and incentives adopted for financing exports of Brazilian goods, or in the Brazilian economy, over which we have no control, may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Inflation and exchange rate variations have had, and may continue to have, substantial effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
Inflation and exchange rate variations affect our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Brazilian reais. The value of these assets and liabilities as expressed in U.S. dollars declines when the real devalues against the U.S. dollar and increases when the real appreciates. In periods of devaluation of the real, we report (i) a remeasurement loss on real-denominated monetary assets and (ii) a remeasurement gain on real-denominated monetary liabilities. For additional information on the effects of exchange rate variations on our financial condition and results of operations, see the section entitled “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
Development of the UAM market
Our revenue will be directly tied to the continued development and sale of eVTOL and related services. While we believe the market for UAM will be large, it remains undeveloped and there is no guarantee of future demand. We anticipate commercialization of our eVTOL services-and-support business beginning in 2023, followed by the commercialization and initial revenue generation from the sale of our eVTOLs beginning in 2026, and our business will require significant investment leading up to launching passenger services, including, but not limited to, final engineering designs, prototyping and testing, manufacturing, software development, certification, pilot training and commercialization.
We believe one of the primary drivers for adoption of our UAM services is the value proposition and time savings offered by aerial mobility relative to traditional ground-based transportation. Additional factors impacting the pace of adoption of our UAM services include but are not limited to: perceptions about eVTOL quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which eVTOL may be flown on a single battery charge; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; availability of competing forms of transportation, such as ground or air taxi or ride-hailing services; the development of adequate infrastructure; consumers’ perception about the convenience and cost of transportation using eVTOL relative to ground-based alternatives; and increases in fuel efficiency, autonomy, or electrification of cars. In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for UAM services, particularly if end-user pricing is at a premium to ground-based transportation alternatives or more permanent work-from-home behaviors persist following the COVID pandemic. We anticipate initial operations in selected high-density metropolitan areas where traffic congestion is particularly acute and operating conditions are suitable for early eVTOL operations. If the market for UAM does not develop as expected, this would impact our ability to generate revenue or grow our business.
Competition
We believe that our primary sources of competition are focused UAM developers and established aerospace and automotive companies developing UAM businesses. In addition, we are likely to face competition in our specific business segments from fleet operators that do not partner with us, aviation companies that have built extensive aircraft service and support networks, and potentially providers of Unmanned Traffic Management systems if those systems are enhanced to higher levels of safety to support manned flight operations. We expect the UAM industry to be dynamic and increasingly competitive; our competitors could get to market before us, either generally or in specific markets. Even if we are first to market, we may not fully realize the benefits we anticipate, and we may not receive any competitive advantage or may be overcome by other competitors. If new companies or existing aerospace or automotive companies launch competing solutions in the markets in which we intend to operate and obtain large-scale capital investment, we may face increased competition. Additionally, our competitors may benefit from our efforts in developing consumer and community acceptance for UAM products and services, making it easier for them to obtain the permits and authorizations required to operate UAM services. In the event we do not capture a first mover advantage, or our current or future competitors overcome our advantages, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects would be harmed.
Government Certification
We plan to obtain authorizations and certifications for our eVTOL with the ANAC, FAA and EASA initially, and will seek certifications from other aviation authorities as necessary. We will also need to obtain authorizations and certifications related to the production of our aircraft and the deployment of our related services. While we anticipate being able to meet the requirements of such authorizations and certifications, we may be unable to obtain such authorizations and certifications, or to do so on the timeline we project. Should we fail to obtain any of the required authorizations or certifications, or do so in a timely manner, or any of these authorizations or certifications are modified, suspended or revoked after we obtain them, we may be unable to launch our commercial service or do so on the timelines we project, which would have adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Initial Business Development Engagement
Since its founding, Eve has been engaged in multiple market and business development projects around the world. Examples of this include two concepts of operation (CONOPS) with Airservices Australia as well as with the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority. Both of these market and business development initiatives demonstrated Eve’s ability to create new procedures and frameworks designed to enable the safe scalability of UAM together with our partners. Using these initiatives as a guide, Eve has launched CONOPS in Rio de Janeiro, Miami and Japan, and hopes to launch additional concepts of operation in the United States, Brazil and around the world.
In addition to our market development initiatives, Eve has signed non-binding letters of intent to sell over 1,910 of our eVTOL aircraft, and we continue to seek additional opportunities for sales partnerships. In addition to these deals, Eve has been actively involved in the UAM ecosystem development by signing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with more than 25 market-leading partners in segments spanning infrastructure, operations, platforms, utilities and others. In the future, we plan to focus on implementation and ecosystem readiness with our existing partners while continuing to seek UATM and support-services partnerships in order to complement our business-model and drive growth.

Impact of COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since spread globally. The COVID-19 outbreak has compelled governments around the world to adopt measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 by means such as lockdowns of cities, restrictions on travel and public transportation, business and store closures, and emergency quarantines, among others, and responses by businesses and individuals to reduce the risk of exposure to infection, including reduced travel, cancellation of meetings and events, and implementation of work-at-home policies, among others, which has caused significant disruptions to the global economy and normal business operations across a growing list of sectors and countries.
Eve has been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic situation and its impacts on Eve’s employees, operations, the global economy, the supply and the demand for Eve’s products and services.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Embraer has been engaging in several initiatives supporting the health and safety of Eve employees. Eve’s operations were interrupted for a certain period in order to adapt industrial facilities in relation to health and safety measures. Social distancing measures were taken, as well as the implementation of working from home for a certain group of Eve employees. Furthermore, several measures to preserve jobs were taken, including reductions in working hours and pay cuts, collective vacations and temporary furloughs.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this Current Report on Form 10-Q, including with respect to the impact of novel viral variants that currently exist, and which may continue to develop. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the UAM Business and Eve’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
Fully-Integrated Business Model
Eve’s business model to serve as a fully-integrated eVTOL transportation solution provider is uncertain. Present projections indicate that payback periods on eVTOL aircraft will result in a viable business model over the long-term as production volumes scale and unit economics improve to support sufficient market adoption. As with any new industry and business model, numerous risks and uncertainties exist. Our financial results are dependent on certifying and delivering eVTOL on time and at a cost that supports returns at prices that sufficient numbers of customers are willing to pay based on value arising from time and efficiency savings from utilizing eVTOL services. Our aircraft include numerous parts and manufacturing processes unique to eVTOL aircraft, in general, and our product design, in particular. Best efforts have been made to estimate costs in our planning projections; however, the variable cost associated with assembling our aircraft at scale remains uncertain at this stage of development. The success of our business also is dependent, in part, on the utilization rate of our aircraft and reductions in utilization will adversely impact our financial performance. Our aircraft may not be able to fly safely in poor weather conditions, including snowstorms, thunderstorms, lightning, hail, known icing conditions and/or fog. Inability to operate safely in these conditions would reduce our aircraft utilization and cause delays and disruptions in our services. We intend to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate which is the amount of time our aircraft spend in the air carrying passengers. High daily aircraft utilization is achieved in part by reducing turnaround times at vertiports so we can fly more hours on average in a day. Aircraft utilization is reduced by delays and cancellations from various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including adverse weather conditions, security requirements, air traffic congestion and unscheduled maintenance events.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Eve is a development stage company and has not generated any revenue and has incurred operating losses since inception. We do not expect to generate relevant revenue from eVTOL sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize our first eVTOL. Projected revenue in 2024 and 2025 is comprised of fleet operations, service and support and UATM. These eVTOL-related revenue sources are not solely dependent on Eve aircraft, which are not expected to begin production until 2025 and generate revenue until 2026. Our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our eVTOL.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development activities represent a significant part of Eve’s business. Eve’s research and development efforts focus on the design and development of eVTOLs, the development of services and operations for its vehicles and those operated by third-parties, as well as the development of a UATM software platform. Research and development expenses consist of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for the Eve’s employees focused on research and development activities, and costs of consulting, equipment and materials, as well as other related costs, depreciation and amortization and an allocation of Eve’s general overhead, including rent, information technology costs and utilities. Eve expects research and development expenses to increase significantly as it increases staffing to support eVTOL aircraft engineering and software development, builds aircraft prototypes, progresses towards the launch of its first eVTOL aircraft and continues to explore and develop next generation aircraft and technologies.
Eve cannot determine with certainty the timing or duration of, or the completion costs of its eVTOL aircraft due to the inherently unpredictable nature of its research and development activities. Development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees associated with administrative services such as executive management, legal, human resources, information technology, accounting and finance. These expenses also include certain third-party consulting services, including business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, certain insurance costs, certain facilities costs, and any corporate overhead costs not allocated to other expense categories, including allocated depreciation, rent, information technology costs and utilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased in absolute dollars as Eve ramped up operations in preparation of becoming a public company, which is required to comply with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and other rules and regulations. Eve also anticipates that it will incur additional costs for employees and third-party consulting services related to operating as a public company and to support Eve’s commercialization efforts.

Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $7.90 million, from $1.94 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $9.84 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Research and development expenses increased by $15.12 million, from $3.83 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $18.95 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.This increase in research and development was primarily due to an increase in R&D’s team headcount, whose activities are mainly related to eVTOL and UATM development, as well as higher engineering expenses contemplated in MSA agreements with Embraer and Atech, mainly related to cost of supplies for the development of the Proof of Concept 1 vehicle, a full-scale model of Eve’s eVTOL, including batteries, motors, thermal management systems and propellers. Further, additional milestone payments and payments for parts, equipment and supplies went to suppliers and outside contractors in connection with the continued development of the Proof of Concept 1 vehicle. Lastly, Eve also started to incur development expenses related to its UATM system in 2021, which continued through June 30, 2022.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.05 million, from $0.43 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $6.48 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.53 million, from $0.76 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $7.28 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in selling, general administrative expenses was largely driven by an increase in Eve’s management team during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, consulting services and marketing expenses (e.g., NYSE IPO ceremony and tradeshows), as well as charges related to the Shared Services Agreement.

Financial and foreign exchange gain/(loss), net
Financial and foreign exchange loss of $46,347 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was reverted to a gain of $563,854 in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Financial and foreign exchange loss of $43,873 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was also reverted to a gain of $986,566 in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This change was driven by the 15% depreciation of the Brazilian real vs. the U.S. dollar, as well as increases on our accounts payable balances denominated in Brazilian reals. Eve increased its research and development efforts during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, leading to higher real-denominated accounts payable balances.
Loss before income tax
As a result of the aforementioned factors, loss before taxes on income increased by $9.24 million, from a loss of $2.41 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to a loss of $11.65 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a result of the aforementioned factors, loss before taxes on income increased by $16.52 million, from a loss of $4.63 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to a loss of $21.15 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Net Loss and comprehensive loss
As a consequence of the aforementioned factors, our consolidated net loss after taxes, increased by $9.37 million, from a loss of $2.41 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to a loss of $11.78 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a consequence of the aforementioned factors, our consolidated net loss after taxes, increased by $16.65 million, from a loss of $4.63 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to a loss of $21.28 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Eve has incurred net losses since its inception, and to date has not generated any revenue from the design, development, manufacturing, engineering and sale or distribution of electric aircraft. We expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations.
As of June 30, 2022, Eve had cash of $176.32 million and investments in marketable securities of $154.46 million. As of the Closing, Eve received net proceeds from the business combination and PIPE Investment of approximately $329.1 million, which is expected to be sufficient to fund its current operating plan for at least the next twelve months.
Eve’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
| • | research and development expenses as it continues to develop its eVTOL aircraft; | |
| • | capital expenditures in the expansion of its manufacturing capacities; | |
| • | additional operating costs and expenses for production ramp-up and raw material procurement costs; | |
| • | general and administrative expenses as Eve scales its operations; | |
| • | interest expense from any debt financing activities; and | |
| • | selling and distribution expenses as Eve builds, brands and markets electric aircraft. |
| 8 |
Eve intends to use the proceeds received from the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment primarily to fund its research and development activities and other personnel costs, which are Eve’s principal uses of cash. However, these funds may not be sufficient to enable Eve to complete all necessary development of and commercially launch its eVTOL aircraft. Eve’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from its customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts. Until Eve generates sufficient operating cash flow to cover its operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, Eve expects to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future capital needs. However, Eve may be unable to raise additional funds when needed on favorable terms or at all. If Eve raises funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If Eve raises funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on Eve’s operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.
In the event that Eve requires additional financing but is unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue its research and development and invest in continued innovation, Eve may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available, Eve may need to reconsider its expansion plans or limit its research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Net Cash Generated (Used) by Operating Activities
2022 Compared with 2021
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $13.18 million versus net cash used of $5.06 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, with the change resulting principally from the settlement of accounts payable to Embraer being partially compensated by an increase in research and development expenses in 2022 as compared to 2021.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
2022 Compared with 2021
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $154.00 million compared to no use of net cash by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change results principally from the investment of proceeds from the business combination with Zanite Acquisition Corp. and from PIPE investments in interest-bearing marketable in securities in 2022.
| 9 |
Net Cash Generated (Used) by Financing Activities
2022 Compared with 2021
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $329.12 million, compared to $5.06 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is attributable to reduced transfers of cash from Embraer to us in the form of seed capital, which was used in the six month period ended June 30, 2021 in connection with the formation of our company subsidiary within the parent company corporate structure. Additionally, Eve received cash proceeds at the closing of our business combination with Zanite Acquisition Corp., the subsequent listing of our stock in the New York Stock Exchange and from strategic PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) investors.
As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding debt on our balance sheet.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For additional information on off-balance sheet items as of June 30, 2022, please refer to Note 19.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are derived from Embraer's financial statements and from some Embraer group US based subsidiaries’ financial statements (“Original Financial Statements”). They have defined the US Dollar (“USD” or “Dollar” or “US$”) as their functional currencies. The Company’s functional currency will follow the definition of the functional currency of the Original Financial Statements, therefore management has concluded that the USD is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Eve’s estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that Eve believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
While Eve’s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to Eve's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Eve believes the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical to the preparation of Eve's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 10 |
Carve-out allocation
Eve has historically operated as part of Embraer and not as a stand-alone company. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from Embraer’s consolidated financial statements and historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis for all historical periods, except for the three and six-months period ended June 30, 2022. The statement of operations also includes allocations of certain general and administrative expenses from Embraer’s corporate office for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2022. These general and administrative expenses are comprised of general overhead expenses that separate from and in addition to any such expenses incurred pursuant to the Master Services Agreements or Shared Services Agreement.
The allocations of these expenses have been determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had Eve been an entity that operated independently of Embraer during the applicable period.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Eve, in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information includes both direct and indirect expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which subjects Eve to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and derivative financial instruments. Eve’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions located in the United States of America and Brazil. At times, cash account balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits ($250,000 per depositor per institution). Management believes the financial institutions that hold Eve’s cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash and cash equivalents.
| 11 |
Emerging Growth Company Status
Eve is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Eve has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, Eve is not subject to the same implementation timeline for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of Eve’s financials to those of other public companies more difficult.
Eve may also take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.
Following the business combination, Eve will lose its emerging growth company status and become subject to the SEC’s internal control over financial reporting management and auditor attestation requirements upon the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of Zanite’s IPO, (b) in which Eve has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which Eve is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which requires the market value of Eve’s Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates to exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which Eve has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period.

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk for changes in the Brazilian interest rate CDI, applicable to our cash equivalent in Brazil, that was invested in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”), (Applications issued by financial institutions in Brazil, available for redemption in up to 90 days). As of June 30, 2022, approximately 0.71% of our consolidated cash equivalents were indexed to the variation of the CDI rate.
The CDI rate is an average of interbank overnight rates in Brazil. The risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring decrease on financial income of financial investment due fluctuations in Brazilian interest rate.
Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting its liquidity needs. The Company’s policy for managing the risk of fluctuations in interest rates on financial investments is to maintain a system to measure market risk, which consists of an aggregate analysis of variety of risk factors that might affect the return of those investments.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s operations most exposed to foreign exchange gains/losses are those denominated in Reais (labor costs, tax issues, local expenses and financial investments) arising from the subsidiary located in Brazil. The relationship of the real to the value of the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect us, mainly due to the factor that 2% of total assets and 13% of total liabilities are in reais.
The Brazilian currency has, during the last decades, experienced frequent and substantial variations in relation to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. In June 30, 2022 the real depreciated against the U.S. dollar in comparison to June 30, 2021, reaching BRL5.2380 per US$1.00 as of June 30, 2022.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, Eve evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, Eve’s principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that Eve’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financing Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Each process is based on the specified corporate policy in place at the company, with the appropriate detail. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO"), and Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM"), has one of the most popular framework for effective internal controls, and supports the methodology used by the Internal Controls Area. Processes managed by “ERJ” were mapped and quantified in order to acquire evidence that can support their Compliance and quality level. A work including the walkthrough phase and alignments with all areas involved in the activities was carried out to build all the necessary supporting documentation in order to ensure that the company has efficient controls, monitored risks, and safe processes for minimal exposure regarding the operations. There was no other change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
