Eve Holding, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Holding, Inc. ("Eve") (NYSE:EVEX) reports its Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Results.

These increases were partly offset by savings on Director & Officers insurance expenses after renegotiating and lengthening terms with our provider and a c.8% depreciation of the Brazilian Real (BRL) vs. the USD over the last year.
