The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported fourth-quarter revenue of
$15.3 billion, reflecting lower commercial deliveries and services volume
primarily due to COVID-19 as well as 787 production issues, partially offset
by a lower 737 MAX customer considerations charge in the quarter compared to
the same period last year (Table 1). GAAP loss per share of ($14.65) and core
loss per share (non-GAAP)* of ($15.25) reflected a $6.5 billion pre-tax charge
on the 777X program and a tax valuation allowance, partially offset by a lower
737 MAX customer considerations charge. Boeing recorded operating cash flow of
($4.0) billion.

"2020 was a year of profound societal and global disruption which
significantly constrained our industry. The deep impact of the pandemic on
commercial air travel, coupled with the 737 MAX grounding, challenged our
results. I am proud of the resilience and dedication our global team
demonstrated in this environment as we strengthened our safety processes,
adapted to our market and supported our customers, suppliers, communities and
each other," said Boeing President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun.
"Our balanced portfolio of diverse defense, space and services programs
continues to provide important stability as we lay the foundation for our
recovery. While the impact of COVID-19 presents continued challenges for
commercial aerospace into 2021, we remain confident in our future,
squarely-focused on safety, quality and transparency as we rebuild trust and
transform our business."

The return to service of the 737 MAX in the U.S. and several other markets was
an important step, and Boeing continues to follow the lead of global
regulators and support its customers. Since the FAA's approval to return to
operations, Boeing has delivered over 40 737 MAX aircraft and five airlines
have safely returned their fleets to service as of January 25, 2021, safely
flying more than 2,700 revenue flights and approximately 5,500 flight hours.

Boeing now anticipates that the first 777X delivery will occur in late 2023.
This schedule, and the associated financial impact, reflect a number of
factors, including an updated assessment of global certification requirements,
the company's latest assessment of COVID-19 impacts on market demand, and
discussions with its customers with respect to aircraft delivery timing.

The company continues to progress through its business transformation effort
across five key areas including its infrastructure footprint, overhead and
organizational structure, portfolio and investment mix, supply chain health
and operational excellence. Boeing will continue these actions in 2021 to
preserve liquidity, adapt to the new market, improve performance, sustain key
investments and transform its business to be more productive, resilient and
competitive for the long term.

Commercial Airplanes fourth-quarter revenue decreased to $4.7 billion, driven
by lower widebody delivery volume due to COVID-19 impacts as well as 787
production issues, partially offset by higher 737 deliveries and a lower 737
MAX customer consideration charge in the quarter compared to the same period
last year (Table 4). Fourth-quarter operating margin decreased to (161.8)
percent, primarily driven by a $6.5 billion pre-tax charge on the 777X
program, lower delivery volume, and $468 million of abnormal production costs
related to the 737 program, partially offset by a lower 737 MAX customer
consideration charge.

Commercial Airplanes production rate assumptions reflect the continued impacts
of COVID-19 on commercial demand, and the company will continue to assess them
on an ongoing basis. The 737 program is currently producing at a low rate and
expects to gradually increase production to 31 per month in early 2022 with
further gradual increases to correspond with market demand. The 787 program
plans to transition its production rate to 5 per month in March 2021, at which
point 787 final assembly will be consolidated to Boeing South Carolina.

As discussed above, Commercial Airplanes now expects first delivery of the
777X to occur in late 2023 and has recorded a $6.5 billion reach-forward loss
on the 777X program. Among the factors contributing to the revised first
delivery schedule and reach-forward loss are an updated assessment of
certification requirements based on ongoing communication with civil aviation
authorities, an updated assessment of market demand based on continued
dialogue with customers, resulting adjustments to production rates and the
program accounting quantity, increased change incorporation costs, and
associated customer and supply chain impacts. The production rate expectation
for the combined 777/777X program remains at 2 per month in 2021.

Commercial Airplanes captured orders for 75 737 aircraft from Ryanair and
eight 777 freighters from DHL, as well as a commitment for 23 737 aircraft
from Alaska Airlines. Commercial Airplanes delivered 59 airplanes during the
quarter, and backlog included over 4,000 airplanes valued at $282 billion.

Defense, Space & Security fourth-quarter revenue increased to $6.8 billion,
primarily driven by higher volume on fighter programs and the rest of the
portfolio as well as a charge on the Commercial Crew program in the same
period last year (Table 5). Fourth-quarter operating margin increased to 7.4
percent reflecting more favorable performance on multiple programs compared
with the same period last year, partially offset by a $275 million pre-tax
charge on the KC-46A Tanker program primarily due to production inefficiencies
including impacts of COVID-19 disruption.

During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security was awarded contracts for two
KC-46A aircraft for Japan and AEW&C upgrades for the Republic of Korea Air
Force. Defense, Space & Security achieved first flight of the MQ-25 unmanned
aircraft with an aerial refueling store and demonstrated ski-jump launch
capability of the F/A-18 Super Hornet for the Indian Navy. Also in the
quarter, Defense, Space & Security completed engineering design review for the
Wideband Global SATCOM-11+ communications satellite and critical design review
of the Space Launch System Exploration Upper Stage for NASA.

Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $61 billion, of which 32 percent
represents orders from customers outside the U.S.

Global Services fourth-quarter revenue decreased to $3.7 billion, driven by
lower commercial services volume due to COVID-19 (Table 6). Fourth-quarter
operating margin decreased to 3.8 percent primarily due to lower commercial
services volume and $290 million of pre-tax charges related to asset
impairments driven by COVID-19.

During the quarter, Global Services was awarded a Performance Based Logistics
contract for the Republic of Singapore Air Force F-15SG fleet, secured a F-15
spares and logistics support contract with the Qatar Emiri Air Force, and was
selected to provide P-8A training for the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Global
Services also announced a 10-year digital services agreement with Frontier
Airlines.

At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $2.0 billion. The
change in revenue from other unallocated items and eliminations was primarily
due to the timing of eliminations for intercompany aircraft deliveries. Other
unallocated items and eliminations included a $744 million charge related to
the previously announced agreement between Boeing and the U.S. Department of
Justice in January 2021. Interest and debt expense increased due to higher
debt balances. The fourth quarter 2020 effective tax rate primarily reflects
an additional valuation allowance on certain deferred income tax assets,
partially offset by the benefit of the five year net operating loss carryback
provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

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 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 pages 13-14.

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.

uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.
Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely
from these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related
to: (1) the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions, including with
respect to our operations, our liquidity, the health of our customers and
suppliers, and future demand for our products and services; (2) the 737 MAX,
including the timing and conditions of 737 MAX regulatory approvals, lower
than planned production rates and/or delivery rates, and increased
considerations to customers and suppliers, (3) general conditions in the
economy and our industry, including those due to regulatory changes; (4) our
reliance on our commercial airline customers; (5) the overall health of our
aircraft production system, planned commercial aircraft production rate
changes, our commercial development and derivative aircraft programs, and our
aircraft being subject to stringent performance and reliability standards; (6)
changing budget and appropriation levels and acquisition priorities of the
U.S. government; (7) our dependence on U.S. government contracts; (8) our
reliance on fixed-price contracts; (9) our reliance on cost-type contracts;
(10) uncertainties concerning contracts that include in-orbit incentive
payments; (11) our dependence on our subcontractors and suppliers, as well as
the availability of raw materials; (12) changes in accounting estimates; (13)
changes in the competitive landscape in our markets; (14) our non-U.S.
operations, including sales to non-U.S. customers; (15) threats to the
security of our or our customers' information; (16) potential adverse
developments in new or pending litigation and/or government investigations;
(17) customer and aircraft concentration in our customer financing portfolio;
(18) changes in our ability to obtain debt financing on commercially
reasonable terms and at competitive rates; (19) realizing the anticipated
benefits of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or
divestitures; (20) the adequacy of our insurance coverage to cover significant
risk exposures; (21) potential business disruptions, including those related
to physical security threats, information technology or cyber-attacks,
epidemics, sanctions or natural disasters; (22) work stoppages or other labor
disruptions; (23) substantial pension and other postretirement benefit
obligations; and (24) potential environmental liabilities.
