The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported first-quarter revenue of $22.9 billion,
GAAP earnings per share of $3.75 and core earnings per share (non-GAAP)* of
$3.16, reflecting lower 737 deliveries partially offset by higher defense and
services volume (Table 1). Boeing generated operating cash flow of $2.8 billion
and paid $1.2 billion of dividends.
The previously issued 2019 financial guidance does not reflect 737 MAX impacts.
Due to the uncertainty of the timing and conditions surrounding return to
service of the 737 MAX fleet, new guidance will be issued at a future date.
Boeing is making steady progress on the path to final certification for a
software update for the 737 MAX, with over 135 test and production flights of
the software update complete. The company continues to work closely with global
regulators and our airline partners to comprehensively test the software and
finalize a robust package of training and educational resources.
"Across the company, we are focused on safety, returning the 737 MAX to
service, and earning and re-earning the trust and confidence of customers,
regulators and the flying public," said Boeing Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg. "As we work through this challenging time
for our customers, stakeholders and the company, our attention remains on
driving excellence in quality and performance and running a healthy sustained
growth business built on strong, long-term fundamentals."
The quarter's operating performance was highlighted by key defense wins, strong
commercial widebody performance and orders, continued robust services growth,
and receiving Embraer shareholder approval for the proposed strategic
partnership.

*Non-GAAP measure; complete definitions of Boeing's non-GAAP measures are on

Operating cash flow was $2.8 billion in the quarter, primarily reflecting lower
737 deliveries as well as timing of receipts and expenditures (Table 2). During
the quarter, the company paid $1.2 billion in dividends, reflecting a 20
percent increase in dividends per share compared to the same period of the
prior year. The company repurchased 6.1 million shares for $2.3 billion in the
quarter, all of which occurred prior to mid-March.

Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $7.7 billion, compared to
$8.6 billion at the beginning of the quarter (Table 3). Debt was $14.7 billion,
up from $13.8 billion at the beginning of the quarter primarily due to the
issuance of new debt.
Total company backlog at quarter-end remained robust at $487 billion.
Segment Results
Commercial Airplanes
Table 4. Commercial Airplanes First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2019 2018 Change
Commercial Airplanes Deliveries 149 184 (19%)
Revenues $11,822 $12,945 (9%)
Earnings from Operations $1,173 $1,412 (17%)
Operating Margin 9.9% 10.9% (1.0) Pts
Commercial Airplanes first-quarter revenue was $11.8 billion reflecting lower
737 deliveries partially offset by favorable mix (Table 4). First-quarter
operating margin was 9.9 percent reflecting lower 737 deliveries partially
offset by a higher margin on the 787 program. The reported margin also reflects
increased costs associated with the recent 737 production rate adjustment.
During the quarter, Commercial Airplanes delivered 149 airplanes and the
production rate for the 787 increased to 14 airplanes per month. Commercial
Airplanes captured several widebody orders during the quarter, including orders
for 18 777X airplanes for British Airways parent company IAG, 20 787 airplanes
for Lufthansa, and 10 787 airplanes for Bamboo Airways. The first 777X flight
test airplane rolled out of the factory, and the program remains on track for
flight testing this year and first delivery in 2020.
Commercial Airplanes backlog remains healthy with over 5,600 airplanes valued
at $399 billion.
Defense, Space & Security
Table 5. Defense, Space & Security First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2019 2018 Change
Revenues $6,611 $6,481 2%
Earnings from Operations $847 $757 12%
Operating Margin 12.8% 11.7% 1.1 Pts
Defense, Space & Security first-quarter revenue increased to $6.6 billion
primarily driven by higher volume across satellites, weapons and surveillance
aircraft partially offset by lower C-17 volume (Table 5). First-quarter
operating margin increased to 12.8 percent reflecting a gain on sale of
property partially offset by unfavorable mix.
During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security was awarded a multi-year contract
for 78 F/A-18 Super Hornets for the U.S. Navy as well as contracts for 5 Extra
Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles for the U.S. Navy, 5 E-7 AEW&C aircraft for
the U.K. Royal Air Force, and 19 P-8 Poseidon aircraft for the U.S. Navy, Royal
Norwegian Navy and U.K. Royal Navy. Key milestones achieved during the quarter
included completion of the first Ground-based Midcourse Defense test with two
interceptors, successful environmental testing of the Commercial Crew
spacecraft, and the first flight of the SB>1 DEFIANTT helicopter. Defense,
Space & Security also delivered the first 7 KC-46 Tankers to the U.S. Air
Force.
Defense, Space & Security booked orders valued at $12 billion during the
quarter and backlog grew to $67 billion, of which 31% percent represents orders
from customers outside the U.S.
Global Services
Table 6. Global Services First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2019 2018 Change
Revenues $4,619 $3,950 17%
Earnings from Operations $653 $647 1%
Operating Margin 14.1% 16.4% (2.3) Pts
Global Services first-quarter revenue increased to $4.6 billion, primarily
driven by higher volume across the portfolio including the acquisition of KLX
(Table 6). First-quarter operating margin was 14.1 percent reflecting mix of
products and services and less favorable performance.
During the quarter, Global Services was awarded contracts for Performance Based
Logistics for V-22 for the U.S. Navy and P-8A training for the U.K. Royal Air
Force. Global Services captured an order for 10 737-800 converted freighters
for GECAS, secured an agreement to optimize crew operations for Royal Air
Maroc, and expanded global distribution of hardware and chemical products to
Joramco. In addition, Global Services completed the acquisition of ForeFlight,
a leading provider of innovative mobile and web-based aviation applications.
Additional Financial Information
Table 7. Additional Financial Information First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2019 2018
Revenues
Boeing Capital $66 $65
Unallocated items, eliminations and other ($201) ($59)
Earnings from Operations
Boeing Capital $20 $20
FAS/CAS service cost adjustment $364 $365
Other unallocated items and eliminations ($707) ($326)
Other income, net $106 $66
Interest and debt expense ($123) ($102)
Effective tax rate 7.9% 12.8%
At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $2.5 billion.
Revenue in other unallocated items and eliminations decreased primarily due to
the timing of eliminations for intercompany aircraft deliveries. The change in
earnings from other unallocated items and eliminations is primarily due to a
customer financing impairment, higher deferred compensation expense and
increased enterprise research and development investment. The effective tax
rate for the first quarter decreased from the same period in the prior year
primarily due to a higher foreign-derived intangible income benefit and higher
excess tax benefits related to share-based payments.
Outlook
The previously issued 2019 financial guidance does not reflect 737 MAX impacts.
Due to the uncertainty of the timing and conditions surrounding return to
service of the 737 MAX fleet, new guidance will be issued at a future date.
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 page 12.
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.

performance and reliability standards; (5) changing budget and appropriation
levels and acquisition priorities of the U.S. government; (6) our dependence on
U.S. government contracts; (7) our reliance on fixed-price contracts; (8) our
reliance on cost-type contracts; (9) uncertainties concerning contracts that
include in-orbit incentive payments; (10) our dependence on our subcontractors
and suppliers, as well as the availability of raw materials; (11) changes in
accounting estimates; (12) changes in the competitive landscape in our markets;
(13) our non-U.S. operations, including sales to non-U.S. customers; (14)
threats to the security of our or our customers' information; (15) potential
adverse developments in new or pending litigation and/or government
investigations; (16) customer and aircraft concentration in our customer
financing portfolio; (17) changes in our ability to obtain debt on commercially
reasonable terms and at competitive rates; (18) realizing the anticipated
benefits of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or
divestitures; (19) the adequacy of our insurance coverage to cover significant
risk exposures; (20) potential business disruptions, including those related to
physical security threats, information technology or cyber-attacks, epidemics,
sanctions or natural disasters; (21) work stoppages or other labor disruptions;
(22) substantial pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; and (23)
potential environmental liabilities.
