Current report

As noted above, Boeing is one of our largest customers, and Boeing, Airbus, and our other customers that are suppliers to the commercial airline industry are being impacted as commercial airline customers are experiencing elevated jet fuel prices due to the conflict in the Middle East, and sustained fuel-cost increases may reduce passenger demand or capacity and affect demand for our products and services. We are monitoring these conditions closely as sustained fuel cost increases and macroeconomic pressures also could negatively affect the financial condition of certain airline customers, particularly low-cost carriers. Given the volatile nature of the situation, the potential impacts to us are subject to change.

Current report

On February 3, 2026, Congress passed and the President signed a spending package providing full-year funding for most federal agencies through September 30, 2026.

On April 21, 2026, the President’s proposed Fiscal Year 2027 defense budget seeking $1.5 trillion was released, consisting of $1.15 trillion in base discretionary budget and $350 billion of mandatory funding through reconciliation. The President submitted a separate supplemental funding request to Congress on June 24, 2026, with approximately $67 billion of the request intended for defense spending, including $21 billion for munitions replenishment. We continue to closely monitor the movement of the requests through Congress.

Previous report

In October 2025, Congress failed to reach an agreement on funding the federal government, resulting in a shutdown until an agreement is reached. This resulted in the disruption of non-essential government services, with over hundreds of thousands of federal employees being furloughed or working without pay.

Previous report

In November 2025, the U.S. Government enacted a continuing resolution (“CR”) to keep the government funded through January 2026 while Congress works to enact full year fiscal year 2026 (“FY26”) remaining appropriation bills or an additional CR to fund government departments and agencies after January 2026. In addition, in January 2026, President Trump called for increasing the FY27 U.S. military budget to $1.5 trillion, significantly higher than the $901 billion approved by Congress for FY26. However, such increase in the military budget would require congressional authorization.

Previous report

In February 2026, President Trump signed into law a funding package to end the brief U.S. Government shutdown. The legislation will ensure full year funding for the federal government through the end of September 2026, with the lone exception of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. On June 10, 2026, President Trump signed into law a funding package that included funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Previous wording

In its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) indicated that in 2025, global air traffic expanded to near historical trend rates on an annual basis. The growth occurred despite a lower than usual contribution from the North America market, which had stagnant demand, particularly in the low-cost space. International demand outpaced domestic demand on an annual basis as the international demand continue to build on the recovery momentum from 2024, including in China, lifting demand for wide-body airplanes. Based on these trends, both single-aisle and wide-body demand remain above current industry supply levels. Overall, Boeing is experiencing strong demand from their airplane customers globally.

Previous wording

Boeing was one of our largest customers in 2025, and the 737 MAX was one of our highest commercial end use market revenue platforms. In early January 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) initiated an investigation into Boeing’s quality control system, which was followed by the agency announcing actions to increase its oversight of Boeing as well as not approving production rate increases or additional production lines for the 737 MAX until it was satisfied that Boeing attained full compliance with required quality control procedures. Subsequently, in July 2024, Boeing pleaded guilty to conspiracy fraud charges, which may result in additional external oversight on its manufacturing and quality control processes. More recently, Boeing announced that the FAA cleared Boeing’s plan to raise 737 MAX production from 42 airplanes to 47 airplanes per month. In addition, the FAA recently announced that Boeing can resume issuing airworthiness certificates for its 737 MAX aircraft.

Previous wording

Since February 2025, the U.S. government has issued several executive orders (“Executive Orders”), under various statutes, imposing tariffs on imports from most countries with whom the U.S. engages in trade. As such, during 2025, the United States reached bilateral trade agreements that recognize tariff-free trade of products within the scope of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft with the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union. Moreover, the United States applies a diverse range of reciprocal tariffs to imports originating from countries that have not concluded bilateral trade agreements with the United States. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the sweeping tariffs that the U.S. government had imposed through the Executive Orders issued pursuant to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) of 1977. However, the U.S. government subsequently imposed a global tariff of 10% (which could potentially increase to 15%) that went into effect on February 24, 2026, and which would be effective for 150 days unless they are extended by the U.S. Congress. Additionally, in late July 2026, an Executive Order implementing tariffs under Section 304(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was issued imposing tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on non-exempt goods depending on the country of origin, and from which civil aircraft parts and components and goods qualifying under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement are exempt.

In July 2025, the U.S. enacted the OBBBA. Amongst other things, the OBBBA provides for several corporate tax provision changes including restoring the full expensing of qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025, reinstating the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditures paid or incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and changes in the computations of U.S. taxation on international earnings for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. We completed the initial assessment of the OBBBA corporate tax provisions as they relate to our financial statements. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact to our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 4, 2026. However, we expect the OBBBA to decrease our cash tax liability for 2026. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of the OBBBA corporate tax provision changes as additional guidance becomes available.

Current wording

In July 2025, the U.S. enacted the OBBBA. Amongst other things, the OBBBA provides for several corporate tax provision changes including restoring the full expensing of qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025, reinstating the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditures paid or incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and changes in the computations of U.S. taxation on international earnings for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. We completed the assessment of the OBBBA corporate tax provisions as they relate to our financial statements. The enactment of the OBBBA did not have a material impact to our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2026. However, we expect the OBBBA to decrease our cash tax liability for 2026. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the OBBBA corporate tax provision changes as additional guidance becomes available.

Previous wording

Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) of the United States, Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”), we define performance obligations as customer placed purchase orders (“PO”) with firm fixed price and firm delivery dates. The unrecognized revenue on POs are the remaining performance obligations (“RPO”). POs are subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond our control. As such, RPO is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and tends to be concentrated in several programs to a greater extent than our net revenues.
