The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported first-quarter revenue of
$15.2 billion, primarily driven by lower 787 deliveries and commercial
services volume, partially offset by higher 737 deliveries and higher KC-46A
Tanker revenue (Table 1). GAAP loss per share of ($0.92) and core loss per
share (non-GAAP)* of ($1.53) reflect year-over-year KC-46A Tanker improvement,
higher 737 deliveries, and lower commercial airplanes period costs, partially
offset by lower tax benefits and higher interest expense. Boeing recorded
operating cash flow of ($3.4) billion.
"I am proud of the progress our global team made across our business in the
first quarter as we continued to transform our enterprise, strengthen our
safety processes, and sustain critical investments for our future," said
Boeing President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun. "While the global
pandemic continues to challenge the overall market environment, we view 2021
as a key inflection point for our industry as vaccine distribution accelerates
and we work together across government and industry to help enable a robust
recovery. Our balanced commercial, defense, space and services portfolio
continues to provide critical stability for our business – and we remain
focused on safety, quality and integrity as we deliver on our customer
commitments."

operating cash outflows (Table 3). The company refinanced $9.8 billion of
debt in the quarter. Additionally, the company increased its revolving credit
facilities by $5.3 billion to a total of $14.8 billion, which remain undrawn.
Total company backlog at quarter-end was $364 billion.
Segment Results
Commercial Airplanes
Table 4. Commercial Airplanes First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2021 2020 Change
Commercial Airplanes Deliveries 77 50 54%
Revenues $4,269 $6,205 (31)%
Loss from Operations ($856) ($2,068) NM
Operating Margin (20.1)% (33.3)% NM
Commercial Airplanes first-quarter revenue decreased to $4.3 billion, driven
by lower 787 deliveries, partially offset by higher 737 deliveries (Table 4).
First-quarter operating margin improved to (20.1) percent, primarily due to
higher 737 deliveries and lower period costs.
Boeing is continuing to make progress on the safe return to service of the 737
MAX worldwide. In addition, we are working closely with the FAA and our
customers to address electrical issues identified in certain locations in the
flight deck of select 737 MAX airplanes. Since the FAA's approval to return
the 737 MAX to operations in November 2020, Boeing has delivered more than 85
737 MAX aircraft and 21 airlines have returned their fleets to service, safely
flying more than 26,000 revenue flights totaling over 58,500 flight hours (as
of April 26, 2021). The 737 program is currently producing at a low rate and
continues to expect to gradually increase production to 31 per month in early
2022 with further gradual increases to correspond with market demand. The
company will continue to assess the production rate plan as it monitors the
market environment and engages in customer discussions.
The company also resumed 787 deliveries in late March, following comprehensive
reviews to ensure each airplane meets the company's highest standards. During
the quarter, the 787 program consolidated final assembly to Boeing South
Carolina and transitioned to the previously announced production rate of 5
aircraft per month.
Commercial Airplanes continues to work closely with global regulators on all
aspects of 777X development, including its rigorous test program, and the
company still expects to deliver the first 777X in late 2023. As previously
announced, the combined 777/777X production rate is transitioning to 2
aircraft per month.
Commercial Airplanes secured orders for 100 737 aircraft from Southwest
Airlines, 25 737 aircraft from United Airlines, 23 737 aircraft from Alaska
Airlines, and four 747 freighter aircraft from Atlas Air. Commercial Airplanes
delivered 77 airplanes during the quarter and backlog included over 4,000
airplanes valued at $283 billion.
Defense, Space & Security
Table 5. Defense, Space & Security First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2021 2020 Change
Revenues $7,185 $6,042 19%
Earnings from Operations $405 ($191) NM
Operating Margin 5.6% (3.2)% NM
Defense, Space & Security first-quarter revenue increased to $7.2 billion and
first-quarter operating margin increased to 5.6 percent, primarily reflecting
higher KC-46A Tanker revenue due to orders for 27 aircraft and the absence of
charges related to the program, partially offset by a pre-tax charge of $318
million on the VC-25B program largely due to COVID-19 impacts and performance
issues at a key supplier.
During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security was awarded Lots 6 and 7
contracts for 27 KC-46A Tanker aircraft for the U.S. Air Force, a contract for
11 P-8A Poseidon aircraft for the U.S. Navy and the Royal Australian Air
Force, and contracts for six Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey rotorcraft for the U.S.
Navy and the U.S. Air Force. Defense, Space & Security completed first flight
and delivery of the F-15EX for the U.S. Air Force, successfully conducted the
Space Launch System Green Run hot fire test, and began production of the T-7A
Red Hawk Advanced Trainer. Other highlights for the quarter include first
flight of the uncrewed Loyal Wingman aircraft for the Royal Australian Air
Force and the first flight of the Japan KC-46 Tanker aircraft.
Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $61 billion, of which 31 percent
represents orders from customers outside the U.S.
Global Services
Table 6. Global Services First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2021 2020 Change
Revenues $3,749 $4,628 (19)%
Earnings from Operations $441 $708 (38)%
Operating Margin 11.8% 15.3% (3.5) Pts
Global Services first-quarter revenue decreased to $3.7 billion and
first-quarter operating margin decreased to 11.8 percent primarily driven by
lower commercial services volume due to COVID-19.
During the quarter, Global Services was awarded a ground support equipment and
logistics contract for the Royal Moroccan Air Force, as well as a contract for
F/A-18 and AV-8B avionics equipment repair for the U.S. Navy. Global Services
also delivered the 50th 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter and inducted the
EA-18G Growler for the U.S. Navy Modification Program.
Additional Financial Information
Table 7. Additional Financial Information First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2021 2020
Revenues
Boeing Capital $60 $65
Unallocated items, eliminations and other ($46) ($32)
(Loss)/Earnings from Operations
Boeing Capital $21 $24
FAS/CAS service cost adjustment $270 $347
Other unallocated items and eliminations ($364) ($173)
Other income, net $190 $112
Interest and debt expense ($679) ($262)
Effective tax rate 1.9% 57.4%
At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $1.9 billion. The
change in loss from other unallocated items and eliminations was primarily due
to increased deferred compensation and share-based plan expense as compared to
the first quarter 2020. Interest and debt expense increased due to higher debt
balances. The first quarter 2021 effective tax rate primarily reflects a
benefit from the impact of pre-tax losses largely offset by adjustments to the
valuation allowance and true-ups to tax benefits previously recorded in 2020.
Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America
(GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial
information presented excludes certain significant items that may not be
indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business
operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with
additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These
non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures
differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and
publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure. The following definitions are provided:
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share
Core operating earnings is defined as GAAP earnings from
operations excluding the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS
service cost adjustment represents the difference between the Financial
Accounting Standards (FAS) pension and postretirement service costs calculated
under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Core operating margin
is defined as core operating earnings expressed as a percentage of revenue.
Core earnings per share is defined as GAAP diluted earnings per
share excluding the net earnings per share impact of the FAS/CAS service
cost adjustment and Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses.
Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of
net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. Pension costs, comprising
service and prior service costs computed in accordance with GAAP are allocated
to Commercial Airplanes and BGS businesses supporting commercial customers.
Pension costs allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government
customers are computed in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting
Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting
conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are allocable to government contracts. Other
postretirement benefit costs are allocated to all business segments based on
CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. Management uses core operating
earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share for purposes of
evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance. Management
believes these core earnings measures provide investors additional insights
into operational performance as they exclude non-service pension and
post-retirement costs, which primarily represent costs driven by market
factors and costs not allocable to government contracts. A reconciliation
between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided on page 13.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is GAAP operating cash flow reduced by capital expenditures
for property, plant and equipment. Management believes free cash flow
provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for
shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital
investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term
value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow
available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory
expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash
flow as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity.
Table 2 provides a reconciliation of free cash flow to GAAP operating cash
flow.
