Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts or as otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as “Boeing”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We added a new financial statement line item to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for cash invested in Supplier notes receivable and reclassified the corresponding amounts in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill
We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2024, using a qualitative assessment. We determined the fair value of each of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values.
Long-term Contracts
Substantially all contracts at our Defense, Space & Security (BDS) segment and certain contracts at our Global Services (BGS) segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. Changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales, and the related effect on operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes, in the current period, the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a long-term contract’s percentage-of-completion. When the current estimates of total revenues and costs at completion for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire reach-forward loss on the long-term contract is recognized.
The table below reflects the impact of net cumulative catch-up adjustments for changes in estimated revenues and costs at completion across all long-term contracts, including the impact to Loss from operations from changes in estimated losses on unexercised options.

Note 2 – Spirit Acquisition
On June 30, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit) in an all-stock transaction at
8
an equity value of approximately $4,700 , or $37.25 per share of Spirit Class A Common Stock. The transaction will include the assumption of Spirit's net debt at closing.
Each share of Spirit common stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of Boeing common stock equal to an exchange ratio between 0.18 and 0.25 , calculated as $37.25 divided by the volume weighted average share price of Boeing shares over the 15 -trading-day period ending on the second trading day prior to the closing (subject to a floor of $149.00 per share and a ceiling of $206.94 per share). Spirit stockholders will receive 0.25 Boeing shares for each of their Spirit shares if the volume-weighted average price is at or below $149.00 , and 0.18 Boeing shares for each of their Spirit shares if the volume-weighted average price is at or above $206.94 per share.
Boeing's acquisition of Spirit will include substantially all Boeing-related commercial operations, as well as certain other operations.
Spirit has also entered into a binding term sheet with Airbus SE (Airbus) setting forth the terms upon which Airbus will, assuming the parties enter into definitive agreements and receive all required regulatory approvals, acquire certain commercial work packages that Spirit performs for Airbus concurrently with the closing of the Boeing-Spirit merger. In addition, Spirit is proposing to sell certain of its operations, including those in Belfast, Northern Ireland (non-Airbus operations); Prestwick, Scotland; Subang, Malaysia; Biddeford, Maine; and Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
The transaction is expected to close mid-2025 and is subject to the sale of the Spirit operations related to certain Airbus commercial work packages and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and Spirit stockholder approvals.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, including that either Boeing or Spirit may terminate the Merger Agreement if, subject to certain limitations, the transaction has not been consummated by March 31, 2025 (subject to three automatic three-month extensions if on each such date all of the closing conditions except those relating to regulatory approvals have been satisfied or waived) (the Outside Date). Additionally, Spirit may terminate the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances to accept an unsolicited Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from a third party, and we may terminate the Merger Agreement if, before Spirit stockholder approval has been obtained, the Spirit Board of Directors changes its recommendation that Spirit’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement provides that Spirit will be required to pay Boeing a termination fee of $150 if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances in which the Spirit Board of Directors changes its recommendation that Spirit’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, Spirit terminates the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal as set forth in the Merger Agreement, or Spirit consummates a Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) following the termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement also provides that we will be required to pay Spirit a termination fee of $300 if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Spirit or Boeing under certain specified circumstances as a result of the parties' failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals by the Outside Date or in the event that any law or order related to the required regulatory approvals or any applicable antitrust law or foreign investment law prohibits the consummation of the Merger.
Note 3 – Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings attributable to Boeing Shareholders, less
9
earnings available to participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings attributable to Boeing Shareholders, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method.
The elements used in the computation of Basic and Diluted loss per share were as follows:

Note 4 – Income Taxes
We computed our 2024 interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective tax rate of (11.1 %), adjusted for discrete items. Our 2024 estimated annual effective tax rate is primarily driven by taxes on non-U.S. operations. The effective tax rates were 5.2 % and 35.9 % for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was 5.0 % and reflects additional tax expense to adjust prior quarter's results to the annual effective tax rate offset by discrete tax
10
benefits of $335 recorded in the second quarter related to the settlement of the 2018-2020 federal tax audit, which is after an associated $155 valuation allowance expense.
As of December 31, 2023, we had recorded valuation allowances of $4,550 primarily for certain domestic deferred tax assets, and certain domestic net operating losses, tax credit and interest carryforwards. To measure the valuation allowance, the Company estimated in what year each of its deferred tax assets and liabilities would reverse using systematic and logical methods to estimate the reversal patterns. Based on these methods, deferred tax liabilities are assumed to reverse and generate taxable income over the next 5 to 10 years while deferred tax assets related to pension and other postretirement benefit obligations are assumed to reverse and generate tax deductions over the next 15 to 20 years. The valuation allowance results from not having sufficient income from deferred tax liability reversals in the appropriate future periods to support the realization of deferred tax assets.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $1,131 as of December 31, 2023, decreased by $625 in the second quarter due to the settlement of the 2018-2020 federal tax audit, as discussed above.
Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2021. The Internal Revenue Service is expected to begin the 2021-2023 federal tax audit in the second quarter of 2025. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2010-2022 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

At June 30, 2024, $8,480 of 737 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders, and $38 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 777X program: $6,072 and $4,638 of work in process (including deferred production costs of $2,612 and $1,792 ) and $4,218 and $4,063 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs. We expensed abnormal production costs of $262 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the 777X program resumed production, and as a result, there were no abnormal production costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 787 program: deferred production costs of $12,336 and $12,384 , $1,563 and $1,764 of supplier advances, and $1,441 and $1,480 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs. At June 30, 2024, $11,618 of 787 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders, and $2,159 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders. We expensed abnormal production costs of $157 and $693 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Commercial aircraft programs inventory included amounts credited in cash or other consideration (early issue sales consideration) to airline customers totaling $4,546 and $4,126 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Note 7 – Contracts with Customers
Unbilled receivables increased from $8,317 at December 31, 2023, to $9,660 at June 30, 2024, primarily driven by revenue recognized at BDS in excess of billings.
Advances and progress billings increased from $56,328 at December 31, 2023, to $58,151 at June 30, 2024, primarily driven by advances on orders received at Commercial Airplanes (BCA).

Note 10 – Liabilities, Commitments and Contingencies
737 MAX Customer Concessions and Other Considerations
During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded an earnings charge of $443 , net of insurance recoveries, in connection with estimated considerations to customers for disruption related to the Alaska Airlines 737-9 accident and 737-9 grounding. This charge is reflected in the financial statements as a reduction to revenue.

The liabilities recorded represent our best estimate or the low end of a range of reasonably possible costs expected to be incurred to remediate sites, including operation and maintenance over periods of up to 30 years. It is reasonably possible that we may incur costs that exceed these recorded amounts because of regulatory agency orders and directives, changes in laws and/or regulations, higher than expected costs and/or the discovery of new or additional contamination. As part of our estimating process, we develop a range of reasonably possible alternate scenarios that includes the high end of a range of reasonably possible cost estimates for all remediation sites for which we have sufficient information based on our experience and existing laws and regulations. There are some potential remediation obligations where the costs of remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $964 and $1,030 .

Commercial Aircraft Trade-In Commitments
In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new aircraft, we have entered into trade-in commitments with certain customers that give them the right to trade in used aircraft at a specified price. The probability that trade-in commitments will be exercised is determined by using both quantitative information from valuation sources and qualitative information from other sources. The probability of exercise is assessed quarterly, or as events trigger a change, and takes into consideration the current economic and airline industry environments. Trade-in commitments, which can be terminated by mutual consent with the customer, may be exercised only during the period specified in the agreement, and require advance notice by the customer.
Trade-in commitment agreements at June 30, 2024, have expiration dates from 2024 through 2030. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,375 and $1,415 . As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we estimated it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $434 and $407 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $434 and $407 .
Financing Commitments
Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $17,356 and $17,003 as of June 30, 2024 and
16
December 31, 2023. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of June 30, 2024 are as follows:
| Total | |||||

| 2025 | |||||
| 2026 | |||||
| 2027 | |||||
| 2028 | |||||
| Thereafter | |||||
Total | $ | ||||
As of June 30, 2024, $14,030 of these financing commitments relate to customers we believe have less than investment-grade credit. We have concluded that no reserve for future potential losses is required for these financing commitments based upon the terms, such as collateralization and interest rates, under which funding would be provided.
Other Financial Commitments
We have financial commitments to make additional capital contributions totaling $262 to certain joint ventures over the next nine years .
Standby Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts and security agreements. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $3,184 and $4,548 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Supply Chain Financing Programs
The Company has supply chain financing programs in place under which participating suppliers may elect to obtain payment from an intermediary. The Company confirms the validity of invoices from participating suppliers and agrees to pay the intermediary an amount based on invoice totals. The majority of amounts payable under these programs are due within 30 to 90 days but may extend up to 12 months. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Accounts payable included $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in these programs. We do not believe that future changes in the availability of supply chain financing would have a significant impact on our liquidity.
Recoverable Costs on Government Contracts
Our final incurred costs for each year are subject to audit and review for allowability by the U.S. government, which can result in payment demands related to costs they believe should be disallowed. We work with the U.S. government to assess the merits of claims and where appropriate reserve for amounts disputed. If we are unable to satisfactorily resolve disputed costs, we could be required to record an earnings charge and/or provide refunds to the U.S. government.
Fixed-Price Contracts
Long-term contracts that are contracted on a fixed-price basis could result in losses in future periods. Certain of the fixed-price contracts are for the development of new products, services and related technologies. This development work scope is inherently uncertain and subject to significant variability in estimates of the cost and time required to complete the work by us and our suppliers. The operational and technical complexities of fixed-price development contracts create financial risk, which could trigger
17
additional earnings charges, termination provisions, order cancellations, or other financially significant exposure.
VC-25B Presidential Aircraft
The Company’s firm fixed-price contract for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) effort on the U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, commonly known as Air Force One, is a $4 billion program to develop and modify two 747-8 commercial aircraft. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $482 driven by engineering changes to support the build and installation process; the resolution of supplier negotiations; and factory performance related to labor instability. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $250 primarily driven by higher than anticipated costs due to engineering design changes related to wiring and other structural requirements. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
KC-46A Tanker
In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the USAF to design, develop, manufacture, and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers as well as priced options for 13 annual production lots totaling 179 aircraft. Since 2016, the USAF has authorized ten low rate initial production (LRIP) lots for a total of 139 aircraft. The EMD contract and authorized LRIP lots total approximately $27 billion as of June 30, 2024. The KC-46A Tanker is a derivative of the 767 commercial airplane program with the majority of the manufacturing costs being incurred in the 767 factory and the remaining costs being incurred in the military finishing and delivery centers.
During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss on the KC-46A Tanker program by $309 primarily resulting from factory disruption and additional rework due to a supplier quality issue. During the first quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss by $128 , primarily due to factory disruption associated with supply chain constraints. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $391 primarily reflecting higher than anticipated factory disruption, including supply chain constraints and parts shortages. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $139 of capitalized precontract costs and $205 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to future production lots. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
MQ-25
In the third quarter of 2018, we were awarded the MQ-25 EMD contract by the U.S. Navy. The contract is a fixed-price contract that now includes development and delivery of seven aircraft and test articles at a contract price of $890 . In connection with winning the competition, we recognized a reach-forward loss of $291 in the third quarter of 2018. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss by $231 primarily driven by production and flight testing delays as well as higher than anticipated production costs to complete EMD aircraft attributable to factory performance. During the first quarter of 2024, we were awarded a cost-type contract modification totaling $657 for two additional test aircraft plus other scope increases. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
T-7A Red Hawk EMD Contract & Production Options
In 2018, we were awarded the T-7A Red Hawk program. The EMD portion of the contract is a $860 fixed-price contract and includes five aircraft and seven simulators. The production portion of the contract includes 11 production lots for aircraft and related services for 346 T-7A Red Hawk aircraft that we believe are probable of being exercised. We expect the first production and support contract option to be exercised in 2025.
During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss on the T-7A Red Hawk program by $275 primarily reflecting higher estimated production costs. During the first quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the T-7A Red Hawk program by $94 primarily reflecting further increases in estimated production costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on
18
the program by $278 primarily driven by higher than anticipated costs to meet certain technical and support requirements, and flight test program inefficiencies and delays. At June 30, 2024, we had approximately $258 of capitalized precontract costs and $451 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to future production lots. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
Commercial Crew
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has contracted us to design and build the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS). In the second quarter of 2022, we successfully completed the uncrewed Orbital Flight Test. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss by $288 primarily as a result of delaying the Crewed Flight Test (CFT) following notification by a parachute supplier of an issue identified through testing. The CFT launched on June 5, 2024, and docked with the ISS. The Starliner spacecraft had a minimum mission duration of 8 days. Its return to Earth was delayed to allow time to perform further testing of propulsion system anomalies. As a result of the CFT delays, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the program by $125 . At June 30, 2024, we had approximately $238 of capitalized precontract costs and $148 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to fixed-price unauthorized future missions. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.
Note 11 – Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
We enter into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, primarily in the form of guarantees.
The following table provides quantitative data regarding our third-party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a “worst-case scenario” and do not necessarily reflect amounts that we expect to pay. The carrying amount of liabilities represents the amount included in Accrued liabilities.
| Maximum Potential Payments | Estimated Proceeds from Collateral/Recourse | Carrying Amount of Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30 2024 | December 31 2023 | June 30 2024 | December 31 2023 | June 30 2024 | December 31 2023 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Contingent repurchase commitments | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Credit guarantees | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contingent Repurchase Commitments In conjunction with signing a definitive agreement for the sale of commercial aircraft, we have entered into contingent repurchase commitments with certain customers wherein we agree to repurchase the sold aircraft at a specified price, generally 10 to 15 years after delivery. Our repurchase of the aircraft is contingent upon entering into a mutually acceptable agreement for the sale of additional new aircraft in the future. The commercial aircraft repurchase price specified in contingent repurchase commitments is generally lower than the expected fair value at the specified repurchase date. Estimated proceeds from collateral/recourse in the table above represent the lower of the contracted repurchase price or the expected fair value of each aircraft at the specified repurchase date.
If a future sale agreement is reached and a customer elects to exercise its right under a contingent repurchase commitment, the contingent repurchase commitment becomes a trade-in commitment. Our historical experience is that contingent repurchase commitments infrequently become trade-in commitments.
Credit Guarantees We have issued credit guarantees where we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that the original lessee or debtor does not make payments or perform certain specified services. Generally, these guarantees have been extended on behalf of guaranteed parties with less than investment-grade credit. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036.
19
Other Indemnifications In conjunction with our sales of Electron Dynamic Devices, Inc. and Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power businesses and our BCA facilities in Wichita, Kansas and Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, we agreed to indemnify, for an indefinite period, the buyers for costs relating to pre-closing environmental conditions and certain other items. We are unable to assess the potential number of future claims that may be asserted under these indemnifications, nor the amounts thereof (if any). As a result, we cannot estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnities. To the extent that claims have been made under these indemnities and/or are probable and reasonably estimable, liabilities associated with these indemnities are included in the environmental liability disclosure in Note 10.
Note 12 – Debt
On May 1, 2024, we issued $10,000 of fixed-rate senior notes consisting of $1,000 due May 1, 2027 that bear an annual interest rate of 6.259 %, $1,500 due May 1, 2029 that bear an annual interest rate of 6.298 %, $1,000 due May 1, 2031 that bear an annual interest rate of 6.388 %, $2,500 due May 1, 2034 that bear an annual interest rate of 6.528 %, $2,500 due May 1, 2054 that bear an annual interest rate of 6.858 %, and $1,500 due May 1, 2064 that bear an annual interest rate of 7.008 %. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
On May 15, 2024, we entered into a $4,000 five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in May 2029. Effective May 15, 2024, we terminated the $800 364 -day revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2024, and the $3,200 five-year revolving credit agreement, as amended, expiring in October 2024. Our $3,000 three-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2025 and $3,000 five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2028 each remain in effect. As of June 30, 2024, we had $10,000 available under credit line agreements. We continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit facility agreements.

Note 14 – Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements
Restricted Stock Units
On February 20 and March 11, 2024, we granted 2,008,499 restricted stock units (RSU) to our executives and 125,432 RSUs to our executive officers as part of our long-term incentive program. The RSUs granted under this program have a grant date fair value of $204.15 and $192.94 per unit. The RSUs granted under this program will generally vest and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis) on the third anniversary of the grant date. If an executive terminates employment because of retirement, layoff, disability, or death, the executive (or beneficiary) may receive some or all of their stock units depending on certain age and service conditions. In all other cases, the RSUs will not vest and all rights to the stock units will terminate.
21
Performance Restricted Stock Units
On March 11, 2024, we granted 153,306 performance restricted stock units (PRSU) to our executive officers as part of our long-term incentive program that will result in that number of PRSUs being paid out if the target performance metric is achieved. The PRSUs granted under this program have a grant date fair value of $192.94 per unit. The award payout can range from 0 % to 200 % of the initial PRSU grant based on cumulative free cash flow achievement over the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 as compared to the target set at the start of the performance period, as well as the achievement of certain safety goals. The PRSUs granted under this program will vest at the payout amount determined on the third anniversary of the grant date and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis). If an executive terminates employment because of retirement, layoff, disability, or death, the executive (or beneficiary) remains eligible under the award and, if the award is earned, may receive some or all of their stock units depending on certain age and service conditions. In all other cases, the PRSUs will not vest and all rights to the stock units will terminate.

Note 16 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
Our cash flow hedges include foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swaps and commodity purchase contracts. We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage currency risk associated with certain expected sales and purchases through 2031. We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments and swaps to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for commodities used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2028.
23
Derivative Instruments Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment
We have entered into agreements to purchase and sell aluminum to address long-term strategic sourcing objectives and non-U.S. business requirements. These agreements are derivative instruments for accounting purposes. The quantities of aluminum in these agreements offset and are priced at prevailing market prices. We also hold certain foreign currency forward contracts and commodity swaps which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
Notional Amounts and Fair Values
The notional amounts and fair values of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows:

Gains/(losses) related to undesignated derivatives on foreign exchange and commodity cash flow hedging transactions recognized in Other income, net were insignificant for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
24
Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify losses of $37 (pre-tax) out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months.
We have derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. If we default on our five-year credit facilities, our derivative counterparties could require settlement for foreign exchange and certain commodity contracts with original maturities of at least five years . The fair value of those contracts in a net liability position at June 30, 2024 was $11 . For other particular commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. At June 30, 2024, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.
Note 17 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.
| June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Derivatives | ($ | ($ | ($ | ($ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total liabilities | ($ | ($ | ($ | ($ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Money market funds, available-for-sale debt investments and equity securities are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices or broker/dealer quotes of identical or comparable instruments.
Derivatives include foreign currency and commodity contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
25
Certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the six months ended June 30 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value of the related assets as of the impairment date:
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value | Total Losses | Fair Value | Total Losses | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Investments | ($ | ($ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Operating lease equipment | $ | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property, plant and equipment | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other assets | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | ($ | ($ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3 Investments and Other assets were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets. Level 2 Property, plant and equipment were valued based on a third-party valuation using a combination of income and market approaches and adjusted for as-is condition. These approaches considered estimates of net operating income, capitalization rates, and/or comparable property sales. Level 3 operating lease equipment is valued by calculating a median collateral value from a consistent group of third-party aircraft value publications. The values provided by the third-party aircraft publications are derived from their knowledge of market trades and other market factors. Management reviews the publications quarterly to assess the continued appropriateness and consistency with market trends. Under certain circumstances, we adjust values based on the attributes and condition of the specific aircraft or equipment, usually when the features or use of the aircraft vary significantly from the more generic aircraft attributes covered by third-party publications, or on the expected net sales price for the aircraft.
For Level 3 assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period ended June 30, 2024, the following table presents the fair value of those assets as of the measurement date, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs of those assets.
| Fair Value | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range Median or Average | ||||||||||||||||||||
Operating lease equipment | $ | Market approach | Aircraft value publications | $ Median $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Aircraft condition adjustments | ($ Net ($ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
(1)The range represents the sum of the highest and lowest values for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, according to the third-party aircraft valuation publications that we use in our valuation process.
(2)The negative amount represents the sum, for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, of all downward adjustments based on consideration of individual aircraft attributes and condition. The positive amount represents the sum of all such upward adjustments.
26
Fair Value Disclosures
The fair values and related carrying values of financial instruments that are not required to be remeasured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows:
| June 30, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||
| Carrying Amount | Total Fair Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||
| Assets | |||||||||||||||||
| Notes receivable, net | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||

| Assets | |||||||||||||||||
| Notes receivable, net | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
| Debt, excluding finance lease obligations | ( | ( | ( | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of notes receivables classified as Level 2 is estimated with discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of notes receivables classified as Level 3 is based on our best estimate using available counterparty financial data. The fair value of our debt that is traded in the secondary market is classified as Level 2 and is based on current market yields. For our debt that is not traded in the secondary market, the fair value is classified as Level 2 and is based on our indicative borrowing cost derived from dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. With regard to other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our indemnifications and financing commitments because the amount and timing of those arrangements are uncertain. Items not included in the above disclosures include cash, restricted cash, time deposits and other deposits, commercial paper, money market funds, Accounts receivable, Unbilled receivables, Other current assets, Accounts payable and long-term payables. The carrying values of those items, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, approximate their fair value at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash (Level 1).

Note 18 – Legal Proceedings
Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations related to products, contracts, employment and other matters are pending against us. In addition, we are subject to various government inquiries and investigations from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings could result or have resulted in the past. Such proceedings involve or could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under U.S. government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, have certain of its production certificates suspended or revoked, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any currently pending legal proceeding, claim, or government dispute, inquiry or investigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to the matters set forth below, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss in excess of recorded amounts, if any.
Multiple legal actions and inquiries were initiated as a result of the October 29, 2018 accident of Lion Air Flight 610 and the March 10, 2019 accident of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. On January 7, 2021, we entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Department of Justice (the Department) relating to the Department’s investigation into us regarding the evaluation of the 737 MAX by the Federal Aviation Administration (the Investigation). Among other obligations, the DPA includes a three-year reporting period, which ended earlier this year. On May 14, 2024, the Department notified us of its determination that we did not fulfill our obligations under the DPA and that the Department would not move to dismiss the information. On July 24, 2024, we and the Department filed a plea agreement with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Court) to resolve the Investigation. If approved by the Court, under the terms of the agreement, Boeing would agree to plead guilty to the charge that was the basis for the DPA; would pay an additional fine of $244 ; would commit to invest at least $455 in compliance, quality and safety programs over a three-year period; and would agree to the appointment of an independent compliance monitor for three years. We are actively engaging with the U.S. Department of Defense regarding potential impacts on our business with the U.S. government and are assessing other related risks.
Multiple legal actions were initiated as a result of the January 5, 2024 Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident. We are also subject to multiple governmental and regulatory investigations and inquiries relating to the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident and our commercial airplanes business. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance that may result given the current status of pending lawsuits, investigations and inquiries related to the 737 program.
During 2019, we entered into agreements with Embraer S.A. (Embraer) to establish joint ventures that included the commercial aircraft and services operations of Embraer, of which we were expected to acquire an 80 percent ownership stake for $4,200 , as well as a joint venture to promote and develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium. In 2020, we exercised our contractual right to terminate these agreements based on Embraer’s failure to meet certain required closing conditions. Embraer has disputed our right to terminate the agreements, and the dispute is currently in arbitration, which we currently expect to be resolved in the third quarter of 2024.
Note 19 – Segment and Revenue Information
Our primary profitability measurement to review segment operating results is Loss from operations. We operate in three reportable segments: BCA, BDS, and BGS. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 7 for the Summary of Business Segment Data, which is an integral part of this note.
BCA develops, produces and markets commercial jet aircraft principally to the commercial airline industry worldwide. Revenue on commercial aircraft contracts is recognized at the point in time when an aircraft is completed and accepted by the customer.
28
BDS engages in the research, development, production and modification of the following products and related services: manned and unmanned military aircraft and weapons systems, surveillance and engagement, strategic defense and intelligence systems, satellite systems and space exploration. BDS revenue is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred.
BGS provides parts, maintenance, modifications, logistics support, training, data analytics and information-based services to commercial and government customers worldwide. BGS segment revenue and costs include certain products and services provided to other segments. Revenue on commercial spare parts contracts is recognized at the point in time when a spare part is delivered to the customer. Revenue on other contracts is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred.
The following tables present BCA, BDS and BGS revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated in a number of ways, such as geographic location, contract type and the method of revenue recognition. We believe these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Backlog
Our total backlog includes contracts that we and our customers are committed to perform. The value in backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable revenue recognition model.
Our backlog at June 30, 2024 was $515,874 . We expect approximately 24 % to be converted to revenue through 2025 and approximately 69 % through 2028, with the remainder thereafter. There is significant uncertainty regarding the timing of when backlog will convert into revenue. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to production disruptions, and/or further delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.
30
Unallocated Items, Eliminations and Other
Unallocated items, eliminations and other include common internal services that support Boeing’s global business operations and eliminations of certain sales between segments. We generally allocate costs to business segments based on the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Components of Unallocated items, eliminations and other (expense)/income are shown in the following table.

Eliminations and other unallocated items for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 includes an earnings charge of $244 that reflects a fine that would be paid if an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice is approved by the federal district court. For additional discussion, see Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense
Pension costs are allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers using CAS, which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. These costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. 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. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. These expenses are included in Other income, net. Components of FAS/CAS service cost adjustment are shown in the following table:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Boeing Company
Arlington, Virginia
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Boeing Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "condensed consolidated interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 31, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This condensed consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
On January 5, 2024, an Alaska Airlines 737-9 flight made an emergency landing after a mid-exit door plug detached in flight. Following the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded and required inspections of all 737-9 aircraft with a mid-exit door plug, which constituted the large majority of the approximately 220 737-9 aircraft in the in-service fleet. On January 24, 2024, the FAA approved an enhanced maintenance and inspection process that was required to be performed on each of the grounded 737-9 aircraft. Our 737-9 operators returned their fleets to service in the first quarter. All 737-9 aircraft in production are undergoing this same enhanced inspection process prior to delivery.
The Alaska Airlines accident and the resulting actions we are taking, including slowing production, to improve compliance with our manufacturing quality control requirements have significantly impacted our financial position, results of operations and cash flows during the first half of 2024.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $4,237 million compared with the same period in 2023 driven by lower revenues at Commercial Airplanes (BCA), partially offset by higher revenues at Global Services (BGS) and Defense, Space & Security (BDS). BCA revenues decreased by $4,888 million primarily driven by lower 737 and 787 deliveries and 737-9 customer considerations related to the January 2024 grounding. BGS revenues increased by $468 million primarily due to higher commercial services revenue, partially offset by lower government services revenue. BDS revenues increased by $265 million primarily due to higher volume on weapons and proprietary programs, partially offset by higher net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on major fixed-price development programs.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $2,885 million compared with the same period in 2023 driven by lower revenues at BCA and BDS, partially offset by higher revenues at BGS. BCA revenues decreased by $2,837 million primarily driven by lower 787 and 737 deliveries. BDS revenues decreased by $146 million compared with the same period in 2023 primarily driven by higher unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments on certain major fixed-price development programs, partially offset by increased volume on weapons and proprietary programs. BGS revenues increased by $143 million primarily due to higher commercial services revenue, partially offset by lower government services revenue.
Revenues will continue to be significantly impacted until the global supply chain stabilizes, labor instability diminishes, and deliveries ramp up.

Total Costs and Expenses (“Cost of Sales”)
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists primarily of raw materials, parts, sub-assemblies, labor, overhead and subcontracting costs. Our BCA segment predominantly uses program accounting to account for cost of sales. Under program accounting, cost of sales for each commercial aircraft program equals the product of (i) revenue recognized in connection with customer deliveries and (ii) the estimated cost of sales percentage applicable to the total remaining program. For long-term contracts, the amount reported as cost of sales is recognized as incurred. Substantially all contracts at our BDS segment and certain contracts at our BGS segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other
39
customers that generally extend over several years. Cost of sales for commercial spare parts is recorded at average cost.
The following table summarizes cost of sales:

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $3,480 million, or 10%, compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower revenues at BCA. Cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues remained largely unchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023.
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $2,175 million, or 12%, compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower revenues at BCA. Cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues increased during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023 primarily due to higher charges on BDS fixed-price development programs and lower margins at BCA.
Research and Development
Research and development expense, net is summarized in the following table:

Contractual backlog of unfilled orders excludes purchase options, announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, orders where customers have the unilateral right to terminate, and unobligated U.S. and non-U.S. government contract funding. The decrease in contractual backlog during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in BCA backlog. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to production disruptions and/or further delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.
Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and non-U.S. government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. Unobligated backlog was largely unchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Additional Considerations
Global Trade We continually monitor the global trade environment in response to geopolitical economic developments, as well as changes in tariffs, trade agreements, or sanctions that may impact the Company.
The current state of U.S.-China relations remains an ongoing watch item. Since 2018, the U.S. and China have imposed tariffs on each other’s imports. Certain aircraft parts and components that Boeing procures are subject to these tariffs. We are mitigating import costs through Duty Drawback Customs procedures. China is a significant market for commercial aircraft and we have long-standing relationships with our Chinese customers, who represent a key component of our commercial aircraft backlog. Overall, the U.S.-China trade relationship remains stalled as economic and national security concerns continue to be a challenge.
Beginning in June 2018, the U.S. Government imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. In response to these tariffs, several major U.S. trading partners have imposed, or announced their intention to impose, tariffs on U.S. goods. The U.S. has subsequently reached agreements with Mexico, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union to ease or remove tariffs on steel and/or aluminum. We continue to monitor the potential for any extra costs that may result from the remaining global tariffs.
We are complying with all U.S. and other government export control restrictions and sanctions imposed on certain businesses and individuals in Russia. We continue to monitor and evaluate additional sanctions and export restrictions that may be imposed by the U.S. Government or other governments, as well as any responses from Russia that could affect our supply chain, business partners or customers, for any additional impacts to our business.
Supply Chain We and our suppliers are experiencing supply chain disruptions as a result of global supply chain constraints and labor instability. We and our suppliers are also experiencing inflationary pressures. We continue to monitor quality and safety as well as the health and stability of the supply chain. These factors have reduced overall productivity and adversely impacted our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The current conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip has the potential to impact certain of our suppliers, and has impacted some operations for our airline and lessor customers. We are closely monitoring developments, supporting our employees and customers, and will take mitigating actions as appropriate.

Loss From Operations
BCA loss from operations was $1,858 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $998 million in the same period in 2023 reflecting lower deliveries, lower margins driven by production disruption, and 737-9 customer considerations related to the January 2024 grounding, partially offset by lower abnormal production costs. BCA loss from operations was $715 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $383 million in the same period in 2023 reflecting lower deliveries and lower margins driven by production disruption, partially offset by lower abnormal production costs.
Backlog
Our total backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on unsatisfied and partially satisfied performance obligations to our customers where we believe it is probable that we will collect the consideration due and where no contingencies remain before we and the customer are required to perform. Backlog does not include prospective orders where customer-controlled contingencies remain, such as the customer receiving approval from its board of directors, shareholders or government or completing financing arrangements. All such contingencies must be satisfied or have expired prior to recording a new firm order even if satisfying such conditions is highly probable. Backlog excludes options and customer financing orders as well as orders where customers have the unilateral right to terminate. A number of our customers may have contractual remedies, including rights to reject individual airplane deliveries if the actual delivery date is significantly later than the contractual delivery date. We address customer claims and requests for other contractual relief as they arise. The value of orders in backlog is adjusted as changes to price and schedule are agreed to with customers and is reported in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606.
42
BCA total backlog decreased from $440,507 million as of December 31, 2023, to $436,574 million at June 30, 2024 reflecting an increase in the value of existing orders that, in our assessment, do not meet the accounting requirements of ASC 606 for inclusion in backlog and cancellations, partially offset by new orders in excess of deliveries. Aircraft order cancellations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $2,400 million and primarily relate to 737 aircraft. Net ASC 606 adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $4,784 million and primarily related to 737 aircraft. ASC 606 adjustments include consideration of aircraft orders where a customer-controlled contingency may exist, as well as an assessment of whether the customer is committed to perform, impacts of geopolitical events or related sanctions, or whether it is probable that the customer will pay the full amount of consideration when it is due. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to production disruptions and/or further delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.

Program Highlights
737 Program On January 10, 2024, the FAA notified Boeing that it had initiated an investigation into the 737 quality control system (737-9 Production Audit). This was followed by the FAA announcing actions to increase its oversight of Boeing, including conducting:
1.An audit involving the 737-9 production line and its suppliers to evaluate Boeing’s compliance with approved quality procedures,
2.Increased monitoring of Boeing’s 737-9 in-service events, and
3.An assessment of safety risks around delegated authority and quality oversight, and examination of options to move these functions under independent third parties.
On January 24, 2024, the FAA stated it will not approve production rate increases or additional production lines for the 737 MAX until it is satisfied that Boeing is in full compliance with required quality control procedures.
The FAA communicated its findings from the 737-9 Production Audit of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit) on February 28, 2024. The FAA found multiple instances where the companies
43
failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements and provided 90 days from March 1, 2024, to submit a corrective action plan. On May 30, 2024, we submitted our safety and quality plan to address the issues identified by the FAA.
Our planned production rates are dependent on our suppliers' ability to support our operations and our ability to meet heightened quality control requirements. Prior to the Alaska Airlines accident, we were operating at a production rate of 38 per month. During the first half of 2024, as part of our plan to address the issues identified, we slowed production rates and delayed planned production rate increases to reduce traveled work in our factory, as well as at our suppliers. During the first quarter of 2024, we began conducting fuselage inspections at Spirit to improve quality prior to shipment to Boeing. In the second quarter of 2024, production rates gradually increased as we implemented new processes as part of our safety and quality plan. We are working to return to 38 per month by the end of 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 90 737-8 aircraft in inventory that were produced prior to 2023, including approximately 65 aircraft for customers in China. We expect to deliver most of the aircraft in inventory by the end of 2024.
We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process of the 737-7 and 737-10 models. During the first quarter of 2024, the program completed the first phase of FAA certification flight testing for the 737-10. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 35 737-7 and 737-10 aircraft in inventory. We are planning to incorporate engineering solutions to the de-icing systems on the 737-7 and 737-10 prior to certification, which has delayed certification and first deliveries.
The production slow-down and certification delays had an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows during the first half of 2024. This is expected to continue until production rates recover. In the event that we are unable to deliver aircraft and/or increase future production rates consistent with our assumptions, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows will continue to be adversely affected.
See further discussion of the 737 MAX in Note 10 and Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
767 Program The 767 assembly line includes the commercial program and a derivative to support the KC-46A Tanker program. The commercial program has near break-even gross margins. We are currently at a production rate of approximately 3 aircraft per month. We are continuing to experience factory disruption, including supply chain delays and quality issues. We have slowed production in 2024 to reduce traveled work in our factory and enable supply chain recovery, resulting in higher near-term production costs. See further discussion of the KC-46A Tanker program in Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
777 and 777X Programs We are currently at a combined production rate of 4 per month for the 777/777X programs. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the 777X program resumed production. The programs are experiencing factory disruption including supply chain delays and challenges associated with the resumption of 777X production.
We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process. In July 2024, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin the first phase of FAA certification flight testing. We expect the first delivery of the 777-9 to occur in 2025 and the 777-8 freighter to occur in 2027. First delivery of the 777-8 passenger aircraft is not expected to occur before 2030.
The 777X program had near break-even gross margins at June 30, 2024. The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to a number of factors. These factors include aircraft certification requirements and timing, change incorporation on completed aircraft, production disruption due to labor instability and supply chain disruption, customer delivery timing and negotiations, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, and contraction of the accounting quantity. One or more of these factors could result in reach-forward losses in future periods.

787 Program In the first half of 2024, we slowed production to below 5 per month primarily reflecting supply chain constraints and production issues. Delays associated with business class seats are also adversely impacting 2024 deliveries. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 35 aircraft in inventory that were produced prior to 2023 and required rework which we expect to complete by the end of 2024. The inspections and rework costs on inventoried aircraft are accounted for as abnormal production costs, and we expensed $157 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Additional Considerations
On June 30, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire Spirit. See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We are currently in contract negotiations with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 (IAM 751). IAM 751 represents over 30,000 Boeing manufacturing employees primarily located in Washington state. The current contract will expire on September 12, 2024. If we are unable to successfully negotiate a new contract with IAM 751 and/or experience work stoppages or other disruptions, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
Defense, Space & Security
Overview
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, enacted in March 2024, provided fiscal year 2024 appropriations for government departments and agencies, including $844 billion for the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) and $25 billion for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). They included funding for Boeing’s major programs, including P-8, CH-47 Chinook, F-15, KC-46A Tanker, AH-64 Apache, V-22 Osprey, and Space Launch System.
In March 2024, the U.S. government released the President's budget request for fiscal year 2025 (FY25), which requested $850 billion in funding for the U.S. DoD and $25 billion for NASA.
There is ongoing uncertainty with respect to program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD, NASA and other government agencies for FY25 and beyond. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes, including changes associated with the authorizations and appropriations process, could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on our results of operations, financing position, and/or cash flows.
The non-U.S. market continues to be driven by complex and evolving security challenges and the need to modernize aging equipment and inventories. BDS expects that it will continue to have a wide range of opportunities across Asia, Europe and the Middle East given the diverse regional threats. At June 30, 2024, 31% of BDS backlog was attributable to non-U.S. customers.

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many different types of development and production contracts with varying delivery and milestone schedules, the operating results of a particular period may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, depending on the customer and their funding sources, our orders might be structured as annual follow-on contracts, or as one large multi-year order or long-term award. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future workloads.

Revenues
BDS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $265 million compared with the same period in 2023. The increase reflects higher volume on weapons and proprietary programs, partially offset by higher net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on major fixed-price development programs. Net unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $118 million higher than the prior year comparable period.
BDS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $146 million compared with the same period in 2023. Unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments were $222 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year largely due to charges on certain major fixed-price development programs. This was partially offset by increased volume on weapons and proprietary programs.
Loss From Operations
BDS loss from operations was $762 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $739 million in the same period in 2023. Net unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments were $282 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year. Higher charges in 2024 on major fixed-price development programs of $438 million were partially offset by volume growth in 2024 and lower unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments on other programs. During the first half of 2024, losses incurred on the five major fixed-price development programs totaled $1,266 million, including
46
KC-46A Tanker $519 million, T-7A Red Hawk $372 million, VC-25B $250 million, and Commercial Crew $125 million. During the first half of 2023, losses incurred on development programs totaled $828 million, including Commercial Crew $288 million, KC-46A Tanker $245 million, T-7A Red Hawk $189 million and MQ-25 $106 million. These higher charges were offset by less unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments on fighter and satellite programs and higher volume from weapons and proprietary programs. See further discussion of fixed-price contracts in Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
BDS loss from operations was $913 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with loss from operations of $527 million in the same period in 2023. The year over year increase in losses reflects an increase in unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments which were $440 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year. During the second quarter of 2024, losses incurred on the five major fixed-price development programs totaled $1,044 million compared with $514 million in the same period in 2023. Earnings in 2023 were adversely impacted by lower margins on several programs including fighters and satellite programs reflecting labor instability, development technical challenges and supply chain disruption.
See further discussion of fixed-price contracts in Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
BDS loss from operations includes our share of earnings from equity method investments of $95 million and $20 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $10 million and $24 million for the same periods in 2023.
Backlog
BDS backlog of $59,055 million at June 30, 2024 compared with $59,012 million as of December 31, 2023, reflects the timing of awards, partially offset by revenue recognized on contracts awarded in prior periods.
Additional Considerations
Our BDS business includes a variety of development programs which have complex design and technical challenges. Some of these programs have cost-type contracting arrangements. In these cases, the associated financial risks are primarily reduced award or incentive fees, lower profit rates or program cancellation if cost, schedule or technical performance issues arise. Examples of these programs include Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Proprietary and Space Launch System programs.
Some of our development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include Commercial Crew, KC-46A Tanker, MQ-25, T-7A Red Hawk, VC-25B, and commercial and military satellites. A number of our ongoing fixed-price development programs have reach-forward losses. New programs could also have risk for reach-forward loss upon contract award and during the period of contract performance. Many development programs have highly complex designs. As technical or quality issues arise during development, we may experience schedule delays and cost impacts, which could increase our estimated cost to perform the work or reduce our estimated price, either of which could result in a material charge or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition. These programs are ongoing, and while we believe the cost and fee estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of these programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions or other financially significant exposure. Risk remains that we may be required to record additional reach-forward losses in future periods.

Operating Activities Net cash used by operating activities was $7.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with cash provided of $2.6 billion during the same period in 2023. The $9.9 billion increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in commercial airplane program inventory. Changes in assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $8.5 billion compared with the same period in 2023 primarily driven by unfavorable changes in Inventories ($5.7 billion), Accounts payable ($1.1 billion), and Unbilled receivables ($0.6 billion).
The growth in Inventories was primarily driven by lower deliveries on our commercial airplane programs in the first half of 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Concessions paid to 737 MAX customers totaled $681 million and $273 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Reductions in Accounts payable in 2024 were a use of cash while growth in Accounts payable in 2023 was a source of cash. The increase in Unbilled receivables was primarily driven by revenue recognized at BDS in excess of billings.
Payables to suppliers who elected to participate in supply chain financing programs decreased by $0.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and increased by $0.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Investing Activities Cash used by investing activities was $26 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $4.8 billion during the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash outflows during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to net proceeds from investments of $1.6 billion in 2024 compared with net contributions to investments of $3.9 billion in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, capital expenditures were $1.0 billion and $0.8 billion. We continue to expect capital expenditures in 2024 to be higher than in 2023.
Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities was $5.5 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with cash used of $5.1 billion during the same period in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net borrowings were $5.6 billion compared with net repayments of $5.1 billion during the same period in 2023, primarily due to the $10.0 billion of fixed-rate senior notes issued in the second quarter of 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, the total debt balance was $57.9 billion, up from $52.3 billion at December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, $4.8 billion of debt was classified as short-term.
Capital Resources
On June 30, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire Spirit in an all-stock transaction at an equity value of approximately $4.7 billion, or $37.25 per share of Spirit Class A Common Stock. The transaction
49
will include the assumption of Spirit's net debt at closing. See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We expect to be able to fund our cash requirements through cash and short-term investments and cash provided by operations, as well as continued access to capital markets. At June 30, 2024, we had $10.9 billion of cash, $1.7 billion of short-term investments, and $10.0 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements. In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into a $4.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in May 2029. Effective May 15, 2024, we terminated the $0.8 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2024, and the $3.2 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in October 2024, as amended. Our legacy $3.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2025 and legacy $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2028 each remain in effect. We continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit facility agreements. We anticipate that these credit lines will remain undrawn and primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs.
We continue to maintain investment grade credit ratings. During the second quarter of 2024, Moody’s downgraded our long-term and short-term credit ratings to Baa3/P-3 with negative outlook from Baa2/P-2 with negative watch. Our S&P and Fitch credit ratings remained unchanged; however, S&P and Fitch revised our credit outlook to negative from stable. The revisions to our credit ratings and outlook were primarily driven by concern that we will be unable to deliver commercial aircraft at the volumes required to materially expand free cash flow and retire debt in a reasonable timeframe.
We expect to be able to access capital markets when we require additional funding in order to pay off existing debt, address further impacts to our business related to market developments, fund outstanding financing commitments or meet other business requirements. A number of factors could cause us to incur increased borrowing costs and to have greater difficulty accessing public and private markets for debt. These factors include disruptions or declines in the global capital markets and/or a decline in our financial performance, outlook or credit ratings, and/or associated changes in demand for our products and services. These risks will be particularly acute if we are subject to further credit rating downgrades. The occurrence of any or all of these events may adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and financing or contractual commitments.
Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants. At June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants for our debt and credit facilities. The most restrictive covenants include a limitation on mortgage debt and sale and leaseback transactions as a percentage of consolidated net tangible assets (as defined in the credit agreements), and a limitation on consolidated debt as a percentage of total capital (as defined in the credit agreements). When considering debt covenants, we continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements including certain guarantees. For discussion of these arrangements, see Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contingent Obligations
We have significant contingent obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include the following:
Legal Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations are pending against us. Legal contingencies are discussed in Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental Remediation We are involved with various environmental remediation activities and have recorded a liability of $831 million at June 30, 2024. For additional information, see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Measures
Core Operating Earnings/(Loss), Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings/(Loss) Per Share
Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. 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. Core operating earnings/(loss), Core operating margin and Core earnings/(loss) per share exclude 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 earnings/(loss) per share excludes both 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.
The Pension FAS/CAS service cost adjustments recognized in Loss from operations were benefits of $460 million and $230 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with benefits of $445 million and $222 million for the same periods in 2023. The higher benefits in 2024 were primarily due to increases in allocated pension cost year over year. The non-operating pension expenses included in Other income, net were benefits of $245 million and $122 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with benefits of $268 million and $134 million for the same periods in 2023. The lower benefits in 2024 were primarily due to lower expected return on plan assets and higher amortization of actuarial losses, partially offset by lower interest cost.
For further discussion of pension and other postretirement costs see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 26 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 earnings measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit costs primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to U.S. government contracts.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, we are involved in a number of legal proceedings. For a discussion of contingencies related to legal proceedings, see Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risks update the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Please refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for other risks related to our business.
Our pending acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit) subjects us to various risks and uncertainties, including risks that we may not complete the acquisition or realize the anticipated benefits in the expected timeframe or at all.
Completion of our acquisition of Spirit is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger among us, Spirit and one of our wholly owned subsidiaries (Merger Agreement). Some of the conditions, such as approval by Spirit’s stockholders, certain regulatory approvals, and the ability of Spirit to enter into definitive agreements relating to the disposition of Spirit operations related to certain Airbus commercial work packages and consummate the related transactions, are beyond our control, which make the completion of our acquisition of Spirit (and the timing thereof) uncertain. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Spirit and Boeing, which if exercised, will also result in the acquisition not being consummated. Furthermore, the governmental authorities from which regulatory approvals related to the acquisition are required may impose burdensome or unacceptable conditions on the completion of the acquisition, require changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement, or prevent or delay the consummation of the acquisition. If the acquisition is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and we will be subject to a number of risks, including expenditure of time and resources, possible negative reactions from certain stakeholders, and potential market price fluctuations. If we are successful in completing the acquisition, we will be subject to other risks, including those related to the successful integration of Spirit into our business and operations. Difficulties in integrating Spirit may result in the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the acquisition (including anticipated synergies and quality improvements) in the expected timeframe or at all, as well as operational challenges, the diversion of management’s attention from other ongoing business concerns, and unforeseen expenses, which may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Any of these events could impact our operations and our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. For additional information on the acquisition, see Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
