EVE (NYSE:EVEX) Releases Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.08 EPS

EVE (NYSE:EVEX) announced its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported ($0.10) EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.18) by $0.08, Zacks reports.

Here are the key takeaways from EVE’s conference call:

• Flight testing has resumed after software upgrades and ground testing, with Eve’s prototype reaching partial transition at 30 knots. The company expects to complete full transition by year-end after roughly 30–40 additional flights.
• Eve reported $403 million in cash and $531 million of total liquidity, which management believes is sufficient to fund operations through 2028 without new financing. Embraer-related synergies and cost avoidance are expected to contribute $100 million–$150 million over 2026–2028.
• The certification program remains on schedule for a first crewed conforming-prototype flight in the second half of 2027 and entry into service in 2028, subject to completing design reviews, building six conforming aircraft, and approximately 12 months of subsequent flight testing.
• Eve added two LOIs totaling 46 aircraft at the Farnborough Airshow, bringing its pre-order backlog to approximately 2,700 aircraft valued at $13.5 billion at list price. Management highlighted growing interest from both operators and leasing companies.
• Second-quarter R&D expense fell to $29 million and net loss was $34 million, but management expects R&D to return to roughly $50 million per quarter. First-half cash burn was $118 million, with full-year consumption still expected near the midpoint of the $225 million–$275 million guidance range.
