EVE SPAC Presentation Deck

Disclaimer (cont.) Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts for the Company with respect to certain financial results for the Company's fiscal years 2020 through 2030. All projections, estimates, goals, targets, plans, trends or other statements with respect to future results or future events in this presentation, including projected revenue, are forward-looking statements that (i) reflect various estimates and assumptions concerning future industry performance, general business, economic and regulatory conditions, market conditions for the Company's products and other matters, which assumptions may or may not prove to be correct, (ii) are inherently subject to significant contingencies and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of Eve and Zanite and (iii) should not be regarded as a representation by Eve, Zanite or any other person that such estimates, forecasts or projections will be achieved. Neither Zanite's nor Eve's independent auditors have studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Actual results can be expected to vary and those variations may be material. Unanticipated events may occur that could affect the outcome of such projections, estimates, goals, targets, plans, trends and other statements. You must make your own determinations as to the reasonableness of these projections, estimates, goals, targets, plans, trends and other statements and should also note that if one or more estimates change, or one or more assumptions are not met, or one or more unexpected events occur, the performance and results set forth in such projections, estimates, goals, targets, plans, trends and other statements may not be achieved. We can give no assurance as to future operations, performance, results or events. The inclusion of financial projections, estimates and targets in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Eve and Zanite, or their representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics This presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP), including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin (including on a forward-looking basis) and certain other ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income / (expense) and stock-based compensation, and EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by revenue. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures. The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense included in cost of goods sold, and non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net loss or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. Eve believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Eve. Eve's management uses forward-looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate Eve's projected financials and operating performance. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company's non- GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding projections, projected non-GAAP measures have not been reconciled back to the nearest GAAP measure. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. You should review the Company's and Zanite's audited financial statements, which will be included in the definitive proxy statement relating to the Transaction. Reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this presentation. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
