Eve Holding Inc. (NYSE: EVEX), an aerospace company focused on developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and urban air mobility solutions, saw its stock surge 16.67% during intraday trading on Monday.
The company reported its second quarter 2024 financial results, revealing a net loss of $36.4 million, higher than the $31.4 million loss in the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily driven by higher research and development (R&D) expenses, which rose to $36.3 million from $21.8 million in Q2 2023, as the company intensified its efforts in developing its eVTOL aircraft and urban air mobility ecosystem.
Eve Holding's R&D expenses were fueled by the Master Services Agreement with Embraer, which performs several developmental activities, including the assembly of the first full-scale prototype, engineering, program development, and testing infrastructure expenses. The company's selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $5.4 million from $6.6 million in Q2 2023, primarily due to lower outsourced services, payroll costs, and insurance expenses.
