The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] recorded fourth quarter revenue of
$15.2 billion, GAAP loss per share of ($5.46) and core loss per share
(non-GAAP)* of ($5.90) (Table 1) primarily reflecting previously announced
impacts of the IAM work stoppage and agreement, charges for certain defense
programs, and costs associated with workforce reductions announced last year.
Boeing reported operating cash flow of ($3.5) billion and free cash flow of
($4.1) billion (non-GAAP)*.

"We made progress on key areas to stabilize our operations during the quarter
and continued to strengthen important aspects of our safety and quality plan,"
said Kelly Ortberg, Boeing president and chief executive officer. "My team and
I are focused on making the fundamental changes needed to fully recover our
company's performance and restore trust with our customers, employees,
suppliers, investors, regulators and all others who are counting on us."

Operating cash flow was ($3.5) billion in the quarter reflecting lower
commercial deliveries, as well as unfavorable working capital timing,
primarily driven by the IAM work stoppage (Table 2).

 1 Marketable securities consist primarily of time deposits due within one year classified as "short-term investments." 

Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $26.3 billion, compared
to $10.5 billion at the beginning of the quarter, primarily driven by a $24
billion capital raise partially offset by free cash flow usage and debt
repayment in the quarter (Table 3). Debt was $53.9 billion, down from $57.7
billion at the beginning of the quarter, driven by the early repayment of a
$3.5 billion bond originally maturing in 2025. The company maintains access to
credit facilities of $10.0 billion, which remain undrawn.

Total company backlog at quarter end was $521 billion.

increase production rate. The 787 program exited the year at a production rate
of five per month and recently announced plans to expand South Carolina
operations. In January, the 777X program resumed FAA certification flight
testing, and the company still anticipates first delivery of the 777-9 in
2026.

Commercial Airplanes booked 204 net orders in the quarter, including 100
737-10 airplanes for Pegasus Airlines and 30 787-9 airplanes for flydubai.
Commercial Airplanes delivered 57 airplanes during the quarter and backlog
included over 5,500 airplanes valued at $435 billion.

Defense, Space & Security fourth quarter revenue of $5.4 billion and operating
margin of (41.9) percent reflect the previously announced pre-tax charges of
$1.7 billion on the KC-46A, T-7A, Commercial Crew, VC-25B and MQ-25 programs.

In January, the U.S. Air Force announced an updated acquisition approach for
the T-7A Red Hawk that allows the company to provide a production-ready
configuration to the customer prior to low-rate initial production, which
better supports the operational needs of the customer and reduces future
production risk.

During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security captured an award from the U.S.
Air Force for 15 KC-46A Tankers, secured an order for seven P-8A Poseidon
aircraft from the U.S. Navy, and delivered the final T-7A Red Hawk engineering
and manufacturing development aircraft to the U.S. Air Force. Backlog at
Defense, Space & Security was $64 billion, of which 29 percent represents
orders from customers outside the U.S.

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/(Loss), Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings/(Loss)
Per Share

Core operating earnings/(loss) is defined as GAAP Earnings/(loss) 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/(loss) expressed as a percentage of
revenue. Core earnings/(loss) per share is defined as GAAP Diluted
earnings/(loss) per share excluding the net earnings/(loss) 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 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/(loss), core operating margin and core earnings/(loss) per share for
purposes of evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance.
Management believes these core 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 of
these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is
provided on page 12 and 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.
See Table 2 on page 2 for a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow.

obligations; (24) the adequacy of our insurance coverage; and (25) customer
and aircraft concentration in our customer financing portfolio.
