Eve Holding Inc. reported a net loss of $63.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decline from the $39.9 million loss recorded in the same period a year earlier. The company’s earnings per share fell to $‑0.19, missing the consensus estimate of $‑0.16 and widening the year‑to‑year loss to $224.3 million from $138.2 million in 2024. Research and development expenses rose to $59.4 million in Q4, up from $33.7 million in Q4 2024, while selling, general and administrative costs increased to $7.6 million from $6.2 million. Cash consumption for the quarter was $32.1 million, a 19% reduction from the previous year’s $39.9 million, reflecting disciplined cost control amid intensified development activities.
The company highlighted significant progress in its flight‑testing program, noting that its engineering prototype completed 28 flights, accumulating over one hour of flight time. Eve projects about 300 flights in 2026, a step toward meeting certification milestones. Orders have grown to 100 aircraft under binding agreements, including a $250 million Revo order, and the company’s pre‑order book stands at roughly 2,700 letters of intent valued at $13.5 billion.
Eve’s liquidity position remains robust, with $641 million in cash and cash equivalents, the highest level ever for the company. Management reiterated guidance for 2026 cash burn of $200‑$250 million annually and reaffirmed its commitment to achieving type certification by 2027, positioning the firm for a runway that extends through 2028.
"We met all the milestones we had laid out to the market, including cash consumption of $196 million (adjusted for working capital gains in 4Q25) – mostly in line with the low‑end of 2025 guidance," said a company spokesperson. "Our liquidity reached $541 million at the end of 2025, with $390 million in cash and another $150 million in undrawn credit facilities with the Brazilian Development Bank, BNDES. Adding a new loan secured early this year with a syndicate of banks, total liquidity is even higher. Now at $641 million, this is the highest cash level ever for Eve." The company also noted that it expects operations to consume between $225 million and $275 million in 2026, remaining in a comfortable financial position with liquidity sufficient to cover capital needs well into 2028. "Simplicity is the DNA of our electric vertical take‑off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with a Lift+Cruise configuration, eight dedicated propellers for vertical take‑off and landing – that do not change position during flight, and fixed wings for cruise flight," the spokesperson added.
The market reaction was muted, with the stock trading at $2.79, near its 52‑week low, reflecting a cautious investor stance that weighed the EPS miss against the company’s strong liquidity and continued progress toward certification.
