Current report
As of October 1, 2025, funding for U.S. government departments and agencies, including the Department of War (DoW), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Department of Transportation (DOT), including the FAA, has lapsed. Elements of the federal government that have not been deemed to be “excepted” have ceased operations. We rely on the U.S. government in various aspects of our defense, commercial, and services businesses. During a shutdown, requirements to furlough employees in the DoW, NASA, the DOT, including the FAA, or other government agencies could result in payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts or otherwise impact our operations, negatively impact future orders, and/or cause other disruptions or delays that could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Current report
Approximately 3,200 International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837 (IAM 837) represented employees at our St. Louis area sites have been on strike since August 4, 2025. This is disrupting our St. Louis operations. Programs impacted include F/A-18, F-15, T-7A, MQ-25 and Weapons. If we are unable to successfully negotiate a new contract with IAM 837 and the strike continues for a prolonged period, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be materially impacted.
Current report
BGS revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $879 million compared with the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher government and commercial services revenue. The net unfavorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $93 million lower than the prior year comparable period.
Current report
Non-cash items for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $8.3 billion compared with $6.3 billion during the same period in 2024.

During the second quarter of 2025, the United States adjusted various tariff rates, including on aluminum and steel imports, and announced broad reciprocal tariffs on imports from all countries. In May 2025, the U.S. and China reduced the reciprocal tariffs on each other's imports until August 12, 2025, while trade negotiations continue. On May 8, 2025, the United States and the United Kingdom announced a bilateral trade agreement.

On August 11, 2025, the U.S. and China further extended the pause on the reciprocal tariffs on each other's imports until November 10, 2025, while trade negotiations continue. However, the current state of U.S.-China trade relations remains an ongoing watch item.

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.

The FAA also communicated it will not support 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.

Current wording
We increased the accounting quantity by 400 units during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to the program's normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We gradually increased the production rate to 38 per month during the first half of 2025 operating within our safety and quality plan. In October 2025, after extensive reviews of the key performance indicators (KPIs), the FAA and Boeing jointly agreed the KPIs and rate readiness process guided by our Safety Management System supported an increase of the 737 production rate to 42 per month. As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately five 737-8 aircraft in inventory for customers in China that were produced prior to 2023. We are scheduled to deliver these aircraft in 2025. It is currently unclear whether the trade tensions between the U.S. and China will impact future deliveries to China.

We are currently targeting a production rate of approximately three aircraft per month. We expect to complete production of the 767 commercial program by 2027. During 2024, we recorded reach-forward losses of $580 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded further reach-forward losses of $241 million primarily driven by higher production costs.

777 and 777X Programs The accounting quantity for the 777 program extends through year-end 2027. We increased the accounting quantity by three units during the six months ended June 30, 2025, because we now expect to produce an additional three units in that timeframe. We are currently targeting a combined production rate of four per month for the 777/777X programs.
Current wording
777 and 777X Programs The accounting quantity for the 777 program extends through year-end 2027. We increased the accounting quantity by six units during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, because we now expect to produce an additional six units in that timeframe. Cumulative firm orders for the 777X increased from 358 units at December 31, 2024, to 473 units at September 30, 2025. We increased the accounting quantity for the 777X program by 100 units to 600 units during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Previous wording
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 2024 and resumed in January 2025. During the first six months of 2025, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin additional phases of certification flight testing.
Current wording
In July 2024, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin the first phase of certification flight testing. Flight testing was paused starting in August 2024 and resumed in January 2025. During the first nine months of 2025, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin the second major phase of certification flight testing, and we had anticipated beginning the third major phase of certification flight testing in the third quarter of 2025. It has taken longer than expected to complete the supporting analysis and obtain FAA approval to begin this phase of testing. We anticipate obtaining FAA approval and starting the third phase of flight testing later this year or early next year. We have also reassessed the anticipated timing to complete subsequent phases of FAA certification flight testing. As a result, we now expect first delivery of the 777-9 to occur in 2027. Due to these delays and to address continued production challenges, we slowed our production rate plans, which resulted in higher estimated production and change-incorporation costs, as well as associated customer and supply chain impacts. The impact of these changes on estimated revenues and costs were partially offset by the 100-unit accounting quantity increase, resulting in an incremental reach-forward loss of $4,899 million during the third quarter of 2025.
Previous wording
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.
Current wording
We continue to anticipate first delivery of the 777-8 Freighter to occur approximately two years after the first delivery of the 777-9. First delivery of the 777-8 passenger aircraft is not expected to occur before 2030. We are continuing to follow the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process and the ultimate timing will be determined by the regulators.
Previous wording
The 777X program had break-even gross margins at June 30, 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 During the second quarter of 2025, the program began increasing the production rate to seven per month. We are continuing to monitor supply chain health and factory performance as we work to increase production rates. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately 15 aircraft in inventory, including three 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 whether the trade tensions between the U.S. and China will impact future deliveries to China.

Previous wording
BDS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $56 million compared with the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to lower volume on certain programs including P-8, Ground-based Midcourse Defense and E-7, as well as the absence of a favorable MQ-25 contract modification that was awarded during the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in revenue was largely offset by $608 million of lower net unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments compared to the prior year comparable period.
Current wording
BDS revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $1,310 million compared with the same period in 2024. The increase is primarily due to $1,438 million lower net unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the absence of a favorable MQ-25 contract modification that was awarded during the first quarter of 2024.
Previous wording
BDS earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $265 million, compared with loss from operations of $762 million in the same period in 2024. The increase in earnings is primarily due to lower net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $1,352 million compared to the prior year comparable period. The lower net unfavorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments were partially offset by lower volume. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, losses incurred on the five major fixed-price development programs totaled $1,266 million.
Current wording
BDS earnings from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $379 million, compared with a loss from operations of $3,146 million in the same period in 2024. The year-over-year improvement in earnings is primarily due to lower net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $3,714 million compared to the prior year comparable period.
