BCA revenues increased by $3,494 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher deliveries and the absence of 737-9 customer considerations.

Loss From Operations

BCA loss from operations was $537 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $1,143 million in the same period in 2024 reflecting higher deliveries, the absence of 737-9 customer considerations and lower period expenses.

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.

BCA total backlog increased from $435,175 million as of December 31, 2024, to $460,447 million at March 31, 2025, reflecting new orders in excess of deliveries and a decrease 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. Aircraft order cancellations during the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $2,312 million and primarily relate to 737 aircraft. Net ASC 606 adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $6,017 million and primarily relate to 777X 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 various factors including delivery delays, production disruptions and delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10.

Accounting Quantity

The following table provides details of the accounting quantities and firm orders by program. Cumulative firm orders represent the cumulative number of commercial jet aircraft deliveries plus undelivered firm orders. Firm orders include certain military derivative aircraft that are not included in program accounting quantities. All revenues and costs associated with military derivative aircraft production are reported in the BDS segment.

Program Highlights

737 Program In January 2024, a 737-9 flight made an emergency landing after a mid-exit door plug detached in flight. As a result of the accident, the FAA investigated the 737 quality control system, including Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit), and increased its oversight of Boeing’s production and quality and safety management systems. The FAA also communicated it will not approve production rate increases beyond 38 per month or additional production lines until Boeing has complied with required quality and safety standards. In 2024, we submitted a comprehensive safety and quality plan to the FAA to address the issues identified in connection with the FAA's investigation. We also took additional actions to improve safety and quality, which include investing in workforce training, simplifying plans and processes, eliminating defects, and enhancing our safety and quality culture. In 2025, we are continuing to implement these improvements and align our production plans consistent with the comprehensive safety and quality plan.

We are gradually increasing to a production rate of 38 per month aligned with our safety and quality plan. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately 35 737-8 aircraft in inventory that were produced prior to 2023, including approximately 25 aircraft for customers in China. We are scheduled to deliver these aircraft in 2025. It is currently unclear how the trade tensions between the U.S. and China will impact deliveries to China.

We are continuing to work through the certification process of the 737-7 and 737-10 models, which have been delayed, while we work through the engineering solution for the engine anti-ice system. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately 35 737-7 and 737-10 aircraft in inventory. We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process and the ultimate timing will be determined by the regulators.

If we are unable to deliver aircraft and/or increase future production rates, or certify the 737-7 and 737-10 models consistent with our assumptions, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected.

See further discussion of the 737 MAX in Note 6 and Note 10 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. We are currently targeting a production rate of approximately 3 aircraft per month. We expect to complete production of the 767 commercial program by 2027. This program has break-even gross margins.

See further discussion of the KC-46A Tanker program in Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

777 and 777X Programs The accounting quantity for the 777 program extends through year-end 2027. We increased the accounting quantity by 3 units during the three months ended March 31, 2025, because we now expect to produce an additional 3 units in that timeframe. We are currently targeting a combined production rate of 4 per month for the 777/777X programs.

In July 2024, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin the first phase of FAA certification flight testing. The first phase of flight testing was paused starting in August and resumed in January. We obtained approval from the FAA to begin the next phase of certification flight testing, and we began these activities in March 2025.

We continue to anticipate first delivery of the 777-9 to occur in 2026 and the 777-8 Freighter to occur in 2028. First delivery of the 777-8 passenger aircraft is not expected to occur before 2030. We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process and the ultimate timing will be determined by the regulators.

The 777X program had break-even gross margins at March 31, 2025. The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to several 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 considerations, delivery timing and negotiations, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, and any change in the accounting quantity. One or more of these factors could result in reach-forward losses in future periods.

787 Program We are currently at a production rate of approximately 5 aircraft per month. We are continuing to monitor supply chain health and factory performance as we work to increase production rates. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately 20 aircraft in inventory, including 4 aircraft for customers in China, that were produced prior to 2023 and required rework. In February 2025, we completed the rework of the last aircraft and expect to deliver the majority of these aircraft in 2025. It is currently unclear how trade tensions between the U.S. and China will impact deliveries to China.

On June 30, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire Spirit. See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
