    • Management believes current funding is sufficient to support operations and program investments through 2028.
    • The first flight of the first certification-conforming prototype is expected in the second half of 2027.
    • Concurrent Type Certificate (TC) validation with the FAA is expected in 2028.
    • EASA certification tests are expected to initiate in mid-2028, with the certification process lasting approximately 18 months.
    • Full-year 2026 cash consumption is leaning toward the low-end of the guidance range due to captured synergies with Embraer.
  • Business Segments and Product Lines:

    • Engineering prototype flew for the first time in December 2025 and has completed 73 flights, validating 170 points (91% of the planned campaign checkpoints).
    • The engineering prototype successfully demonstrated the Autoland feature and simplified fly-by-wire mode.
    • Assembly of certification-conforming prototypes is underway, with the first batch of components received for the first of six planned prototypes.
    • Eve plans to build up to six certification-conforming prototypes featuring all redundancies and systems of the commercial version.
    • Eve has accumulated approximately 16,500 hours of tests in various rigs, including battery, lifter, and actuator tests.
    • Thermal runaway containment was successfully achieved during battery testing.
    • The first battery for the conforming prototype was installed with successful high-voltage operation and communication.
    • Critical Design Review (CDR) processes are mostly complete, with detailed drawings released for component manufacturing.
    • The Eve 100 aircraft is designed with a wingspan of 50ft (15.2m) and a cabin length of 11ft (3.3m), with an expected range of 60 miles (100 km).
    • Order pipeline totals approximately 2,500 units with a non-binding backlog value of approximately $12.6 billion.
    • 28 customers are in the order book, with no single client representing more than 16% of the total order book.
    • Service solutions (Eve TechCare) have secured non-binding contracts with 13 customers, representing LOIs for approximately 1,100 eVTOLs (42% of the order book).
    • Service contracts are expected to generate potential revenues of $1.5 billion during the first few years of vehicle operation.
    • Vector (Urban Air Traffic Management) has signed LOIs from 21 customers globally.
    • A binding agreement was signed with FlyBIS for up to 12 eVTOLs, including two firm orders and purchase rights for 10 additional units.
    • An MOU was signed with RV Connex to advance the regulatory framework for Advanced Air Mobility in Thailand.
    • A partnership was announced with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a UAM initiative at SunTrax Air.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • Brazil's Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) published the Basis of Certification for Eve's eVTOL in November 2024, establishing the first set of airworthiness criteria for eVTOLs in Brazil.
    • Proposed Noise Certification Criteria for Eve 100 were published by ANAC in July.
    • Eve formalized validation with the FAA in 2023 and met with FAA leadership to discuss 2026 deliverables.

    • Asia accounts for 12% of LOIs, and Europe accounts for 11%.
    • The customer base includes fixed-wing operators (35%), helicopter operators (33%), lessors (18%), and ride-sharing platforms (8%).
    • LOIs have been received from clients in nine countries across five continents.
    • Brazil is positioned as a premier market for urban air mobility with strong government support and two committed operators.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • The company is pre-operational and does not expect meaningful revenue during the aircraft development phase.
    • Financial results are driven mostly by program development costs, resulting in net losses.
    • R&D expenses are expected to remain high due to intensifying design and development activities and increased supplier engagement.
    • The engineering prototype does not include all final systems, subsystems, and redundancies of a certifiable aircraft and does not carry a pilot onboard.
    • The order pipeline is based on non-binding Letters of Intent (LOIs) and is subject to change.
    • Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including regulatory approval timelines and certification processes.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • Management expressed confidence that current liquidity is sufficient to fund operations and program investments through 2028.
    • The company is capturing additional cost savings and synergies previously identified with Embraer.
    • The flight-testing approach is designed to leverage ground equipment to reduce program risks, timelines, and development costs.
    • The engineering prototype's performance, including propulsion and battery metrics, was better than anticipated.
    • Management highlighted the importance of the ANAC Basis of Certification as a major milestone for the eVTOL industry.
    • The tone regarding the certification campaign is positive, noting that ground tests will allow the campaign to begin before initial flights of certification-compliant prototypes.
