BCA revenues increased by $12,016 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher deliveries across all programs and the absence of 737-9 customer considerations. BCA revenues increased by $3,651 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher deliveries.

Loss From Operations

BCA loss from operations was $6,447 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $5,879 million in the same period in 2024 reflecting a higher reach-forward loss on the 777X program and lower program margins, partially offset by higher deliveries, the absence of 737-9 customer considerations and lower abnormal costs. BCA loss from operations was $5,353 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $4,021 million in the same period in 2024 primarily reflecting the higher reach-forward loss on the 777X program, partially offset by higher deliveries 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 $534,613 million at September 30, 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, partially offset by cancellations. Aircraft order cancellations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, totaled $3,037 million and primarily relate to 737 aircraft. Net ASC 606 adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, totaled $9,951 million and primarily relate to 777X and 787 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.

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 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.

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 continuing to work through the certification process of the 737-7 and 737-10 models, which have been delayed, while we continue to work through the engineering solution for the engine anti-ice system. We now expect certification to occur in 2026. As of September 30, 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 7 and Note 11 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 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.

See further discussion of the KC-46A Tanker program in Note 11 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 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.

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.

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.

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 additional reach-forward losses in future periods.

787 Program The 787 program began increasing the production rate to seven per month during the second quarter of 2025 and continues to work toward stabilizing production. We are continuing to monitor supply chain health and factory performance as we work to increase production rates. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had approximately 10 aircraft and 25 aircraft in inventory that were produced prior to 2023 and required rework. In February 2025, we completed the rework of the last aircraft, and we expect to deliver the 10 aircraft in inventory in 2025 and 2026. It is currently unclear whether the trade tensions between the U.S. and China will impact future deliveries to China.

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