The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported third-quarter revenue of $25.1 billion 
driven by higher defense volume and services growth (Table 1). GAAP earnings 
per share increased to $4.07 and core earnings per share (non-GAAP)* increased 
to $3.58 primarily driven by strong operating performance at Commercial 
Airplanes and a tax benefit related to a tax settlement ($0.71 per share). 
Results also reflect charges related to planned investments in the newly 
awarded T-X Trainer and MQ-25 programs ($0.93 per share). Boeing delivered 
strong operating cash flow of $4.6 billion, repurchased $2.5 billion of shares, 
and paid $1.0 billion of dividends. 
 
The company's revenue guidance increased $1.0 billion to between $98.0 and 
$100.0 billion, driven by defense volume and services growth, inclusive of the 
KLX acquisition. Operating cash flow guidance is reaffirmed at $15.0 to $15.5 
billion. Full year GAAP earnings per share guidance is increased to between 
$16.90 and $17.10 from between $16.40 and $16.60 and core earnings per share 
(non-GAAP)* guidance is increased to between $14.90 and $15.10 from between 
$14.30 and $14.50 driven by a lower-than-expected tax rate and improved 
performance at Commercial Airplanes. 
 
"Our teams continued to perform at a high level during the quarter, driving 
solid operating performance and robust cash generation, and continuing to 
deliver on our One Boeing advantage by bringing the best of Boeing to our 
customers," said Boeing Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis 
Muilenburg. 
 
"During the quarter we captured important new defense business, winning and 
investing in the MQ-25 and T-X programs and securing the MH-139 contract, 
clearly demonstrating the value Boeing brings to customers while positioning us 
well for future growth opportunities. Within the Commercial Airplanes business, 
the 777X static test airplane was completed and moved into test setup and the 
team's focus on execution across our production programs continued to drive 
outstanding performance and strong operating margins. Our Global Services 
business continues to deliver on total lifecycle value to our customers, with 
key wins in the quarter including P-8 Poseidon training contracts for the U.S. 
Navy and Royal Australian Air Force and an order from GECAS for 20 737-800 
Boeing Converted Freighters. Additionally, we began integrating new data 
analytics tools, powered by Boeing AnalytX, into all Boeing Defence Australia 
support contracts, enhancing its position as a leading fleet services provider 
in the region." 
 
"This strong underlying performance, along with growth across our businesses 
we've seen throughout the year, give us confidence to raise our 2018 revenue 
and earnings guidance and reaffirm our operating cash flow guidance."

Operating cash flow in the quarter increased to $4.6 billion, primarily driven 
by timing of receipts and expenditures as well as planned higher commercial 
airplane production rates and strong operating performance (Table 2). During 
the quarter, the company repurchased 7.0 million shares for $2.5 billion, 
leaving $9.6 billion remaining under the current repurchase authorization which 
is expected to be completed over approximately the next 12 to 18 months. The 
company also paid $1.0 billion in dividends in the quarter, reflecting a 20 
percent increase in dividends per share compared to the same period of the 
prior year.

Commercial Airplanes third-quarter revenue of $15.3 billion was relatively 
unchanged, reflecting lower deliveries largely offset by mix (Table 4). 
Third-quarter operating margin increased to 13.2 percent, reflecting higher 787 
margin and strong operating performance on production programs, partially 
offset by $112 million of cost growth on the KC-46 Tanker program due to higher 
than expected effort to meet customer requirements to support delivery of the 
initial aircraft, as well as due to incremental delays in certification and 
testing. 
 
During the quarter, Commercial Airplanes delivered 190 airplanes, including 57 
737 MAX airplanes. The 777X program remains on track for delivery in 2020 as 
the static test airplane was completed and moved into test setup and the first 
two flight test airplanes were in production. 
 
Commercial Airplanes booked 171 net orders during the quarter, valued at $13 
billion. The 787 program has captured more than 100 orders in 2018 and nearly 
1,400 orders since its launch. Backlog remains robust with more than 5,800 
airplanes valued at $413 billion. Commercial Airplanes revenue guidance is 
reaffirmed at between $59.5 and $60.5 billion and margin guidance is increased 
to between 12% and 12.5% from greater than 11.5% on strong performance.

Defense, Space & Security third-quarter revenue increased to $5.7 billion 
driven by increased volume across government satellites, KC-46 Tanker, F/A-18 
and weapons (Table 5). Third-quarter operating margin was (4.3) percent, 
primarily reflecting $691 million of charges related to planned investments in 
the T-X and MQ-25 programs and $64 million related to cost growth on the KC-46 
Tanker program. 
 
During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security won key franchise program awards, 
including the T-X Trainer and MH-139 helicopter for the U.S. Air Force, the 
MQ-25 unmanned aircraft for the U.S. Navy, and the fourth KC-46 Tanker 
production lot. Significant milestones during the quarter included first 
flights of the Apache and Chinook for the Indian Air Force and receipt of 
Supplemental Type Certification for the KC-46 Tanker program, signifying 
completion of FAA certification. We also completed the acquisition of 
Millennium Space Systems, which will provide customers with advanced 
small-satellite technologies and flexible solutions. 
 
Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $58 billion, of which 31 percent 
represents orders from customers outside the U.S. Defense, Space & Security 
revenue guidance increased to between $22.5 and $23.0 billion from between 
$22.0 and $23.0 billion driven by higher volume and margin guidance is adjusted 
to greater than 6.5% from between 10% and 10.5% primarily to account for the 
investments in the business.

Global Services third-quarter revenue increased to $4.1 billion, primarily 
driven by higher parts volume (Table 6). Third-quarter operating margin was 
13.3 percent reflecting mix and higher period costs. 
 
During the quarter, Global Services was awarded P-8 training contracts for the 
U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force, captured an order from GECAS for 20 
737-800 converted freighters, and completed the first P-8A heavy maintenance 
check for the U.S. Navy. Global Services also secured contracts for F/A-18 
spares for the Defense Logistics Agency and KC-46 Tanker services for Lots 3 
and 4. In early October, Global Services completed the acquisition of KLX, 
which will enhance our services business and allow us to deliver greater value 
to customers. 
 
Global Services revenue guidance increased to between $16.0 and $16.5 billion 
from between $15.5 and $16.0 billion driven by higher volume and margin 
guidance is reaffirmed at approximately 15.5%.

At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $3.1 billion. 
Revenue in other unallocated items and eliminations decreased primarily due to 
the 2017 sale of aircraft previously leased to customers. The change in 
earnings from other unallocated items and eliminations is primarily due to 
timing of expense allocations. The effective tax rate for the third quarter 
decreased from the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $412 
million benefit related to a 2013-2014 tax settlement and the reduction of the 
federal tax rate to 21%.

Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures 
 
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) 
with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information 
presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or 
are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that 
these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the 
company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be 
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and 
other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to 
review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety 
and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following definitions are 
provided: 
 
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share 
 
Core operating earnings is defined as GAAP earnings from operations excluding 
the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment 
represents the difference between the FAS pension and postretirement service 
costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Core 
operating margin is defined as core operating earnings expressed as a 
percentage of revenue. Core earnings per share is defined as GAAP diluted 
earnings per share excluding the net earnings per share impact of the FAS/CAS 
service cost adjustment and Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses. 
Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of 
net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. Pension costs, comprising 
service and prior service costs computed in accordance with GAAP are allocated 
to Commercial Airplanes and BGS businesses supporting commercial customers. 
Pension costs allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government 
customers are computed in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting 
Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting 
conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are allocable to government contracts. Other 
postretirement benefit costs are allocated to all business segments based on 
CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. Management uses core operating 
earnings, core operating margin and core earnings/per share for purposes of 
evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance. Management believes 
these core earnings measures provide investors additional insights into 
operational performance as they exclude non-service pension and post-retirement 
costs, which primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not 
allocable to government contracts. A reconciliation between the GAAP and 
non-GAAP measures is provided on pages 14-15. 
 
Free Cash Flow 
 
Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow without capital 
expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions. Management believes 
free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash 
available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the 
capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long 
term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow 
available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory 
expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow 
as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2 
provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow. 
 
                 Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements 
 
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of 
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "may," 
"should," "expects," "intends," "projects," "plans," "believes," "estimates," 
"targets," "anticipates," and similar expressions generally identify these 
forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include 
statements relating to our future financial condition and operating results, as 
well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or 
current fact. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations and 
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable when made, but that may not prove 
to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, 
uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many 
factors could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from 
these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to: (1) 
general conditions in the economy and our industry, including those due to 
regulatory changes; (2) our reliance on our commercial airline customers; (3) 
the overall health of our aircraft production system, planned commercial 
aircraft production rate changes, our commercial development and derivative 
aircraft programs, and our aircraft being subject to stringent performance and 
reliability standards; (4) changing budget and appropriation levels and 
acquisition priorities of the U.S. government; (5) our dependence on U.S. 
government contracts; (6) our reliance on fixed-price contracts; (7) our 
reliance on cost-type contracts; (8) uncertainties concerning contracts that 
include in-orbit incentive payments; (9) our dependence on our subcontractors 
and suppliers, as well as the availability of raw materials; (10) changes in 
accounting estimates; (11) changes in the competitive landscape in our markets; 
(12) our non-U.S. operations, including sales to non-U.S. customers; (13) 
threats to the security of our or our customers' information; (14) potential 
adverse developments in new or pending litigation and/or government 
investigations; (15) customer and aircraft concentration in our customer 
financing portfolio; (16) changes in our ability to obtain debt on commercially 
reasonable terms and at competitive rates; (17) realizing the anticipated 
benefits of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or 
divestitures; (18) the adequacy of our insurance coverage to cover significant 
risk exposures; (19) potential business disruptions, including those related to 
physical security threats, information technology or cyber-attacks, epidemics, 
sanctions or natural disasters; (20) work stoppages or other labor disruptions; 
(21) substantial pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; (22) 
potential environmental liabilities. 
 
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our 
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent 
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports 
on Form 8-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which 
it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking 
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, 
except as required by law.
