Current report
In the third quarter of 2026, we began experiencing parts shortages from a key 777 supplier that has disrupted factory operations. We expect operations to continue to be disrupted through the first half of 2027. The factory disruption is resulting in abnormal production costs which are expensed as incurred and are expected to continue until 777 production returns to normal operations.
Current report
BDS earnings from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $492 million compared with earnings from operations of $114 million in the same period in 2025. The $378 million increase in earnings is primarily due to a $252 million gain recognized on the sale of an equity method investment and lower net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $135 million.
Current report
Non-cash items for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $3.5 billion compared with $8.3 billion during the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a $4,899 million reach-forward loss on the 777X program recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Supply Chain We and our suppliers are experiencing inflationary pressures, as well as supply chain disruptions as a result of global supply chain constraints and labor instability. Our supply chain is also being impacted by the tariffs and export restrictions discussed above. Certain of our suppliers are also experiencing financial difficulties. We continue to monitor the health and stability of the supply chain. These factors have reduced overall productivity and adversely impacted our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. During 2024, we recorded a reach-forward loss of $1,770 million on the T-7A Red Hawk program that was primarily driven by projected increases in supplier cost estimates. In addition, we recorded losses on the KC-46A Tanker and Commercial Crew programs during 2024 that were partially attributable to higher supplier costs. We recorded a reach-forward loss on the 777X program during 2025 that was partially attributable to higher estimated supplier costs.
