The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] recorded first-quarter revenue of $17.9 billion,
GAAP loss per share of ($0.69), and core loss per share (non-GAAP)* of ($1.27)
(Table 1). Boeing reported operating cash flow of ($0.3) billion and free cash
flow of ($0.8) billion (non-GAAP). Results improved on commercial volume and
performance.
"We delivered a solid first quarter and are focused on driving stability for
our customers," said Dave Calhoun, Boeing president and chief executive
officer. "We are progressing through recent supply chain disruptions but remain
confident in the goals we set for this year, as well as for the longer term.
Demand is strong across our key markets and we are growing investments to
advance our development programs and innovate strategic capabilities for our
customers and for our future."

Loss from ($615) ($897) NM
Operations
Operating (9.2) % (21.4) % NM
Margin
Commercial Airplanes first-quarter revenue increased to $6.7 billion driven by
higher 737 and 787 deliveries, partially offset by 787 customer considerations
(Table 4). Operating margin of (9.2) percent also reflects abnormal costs and
period expenses, including research and development.
On the 737 program, earlier this month the program's fuselage supplier notified
Boeing that a non-standard manufacturing process was used on two fittings in
the aft fuselage section of certain 737 airplanes. This is not an immediate
safety of flight issue and the in-service fleet can continue operating safely.
While near-term deliveries and production will be impacted as the program
performs necessary inspections and rework, the program still expects to deliver
400-450 airplanes this year. On production, the supplier master schedule
remains unchanged including anticipated production rate increases, which will
result in higher inventory levels. The company expects final assembly
production to recover in the coming months with plans to increase to 38 per
month later this year and 50 per month in the 2025/2026 timeframe.
The 787 program is producing at three per month with plans to ramp production
to five per month in late 2023 and to 10 per month in the 2025/2026 timeframe.
During the quarter, Commercial Airplanes secured net orders of 107. Also during
the quarter the company secured commitments from Air India for 190 737 MAX, 20
787, and 10 777X airplanes and from Riyadh Air and Saudi Arabian Airlines for
up to 121 787 airplanes. Commercial Airplanes delivered 130 airplanes during
the quarter and backlog included over 4,500 airplanes valued at $334 billion.

Operating (3.2) % (16.9) % NM
Margin
Defense, Space & Security first-quarter revenue was $6.5 billion. First-quarter
operating margin of (3.2) percent primarily reflects a $245 million pre-tax
charge on the KC-46A Tanker program largely driven by the previously shared
supplier quality issue resulting in factory disruption and rework. Results also
include the continued operational impact of labor instability and supply chain
disruption on other programs.
During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security captured awards from the U.S.
Army for 184 Apaches and from the U.S. Air Force for 15 KC-46A Tankers and the
initial E-7 development contract. Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $58
billion, of which 30 percent represents orders from customers outside the U.S.

During the quarter, Global Services committed to set up the first Boeing
Converted Freighter line in India in collaboration with GMR Aero Technic,
delivered AerCap's 50th 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter and broke ground on
a new component operations facility in Jacksonville, Florida.

The increase in loss from Other unallocated items and eliminations was driven
by timing of allocations and deferred compensation expense. Other income
primarily reflects an increase in investment income due to higher interest
rates. The first-quarter effective tax rate primarily reflects the tax benefit
of pretax losses.
Segment results reflect the realignment of Boeing Capital into the Commercial
Airplanes segment during the first quarter of 2023. Prior period amounts have
also been reclassified to conform to the 2023 presentation.
Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP)
with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information
presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or
are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that
these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the
company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and
other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to
review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety
and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following definitions are
provided:
Core Operating Loss, Core Operating Margin and Core Loss Per Share
Core operating loss is defined as GAAP earnings from operations excluding
the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment
represents the difference between the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS)
pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs
allocated to the business segments. Core operating margin is defined as core
operating loss expressed as a percentage of revenue. Core loss per share is
defined as GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding the net earnings per share
impact of the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment and Non-operating pension and
postretirement expenses. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses
represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost.
Pension costs allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government
customers are computed in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting
Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting
conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are allocable to government contracts. Other
postretirement benefit costs are allocated to all business segments based on
CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. Management uses core operating
loss, core operating margin and core loss per share for purposes of evaluating
and forecasting underlying business performance. Management believes these core
measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as
they exclude non-service pension and post-retirement costs, which primarily
represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to government
contracts. A reconciliation between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures is provided
on page 13.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is GAAP operating cash flow reduced by capital expenditures
for property, plant and equipment. Management believes free cash flow provides
investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders,
debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required
to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash
flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary
expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of
maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow as a measure to assess both
business performance and overall liquidity. See Table 2 on page 2 and page 14
for reconciliations of free cash flow to GAAP operating cash flow.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

government, as well as the potential impact of a government shutdown; (5) our
dependence on our subcontractors and suppliers, as well as the availability of
highly skilled labor and raw materials; (6) competition within our markets; (7)
our non-U.S. operations and sales to non-U.S. customers; (8) changes in
accounting estimates; (9) realizing the anticipated benefits of mergers,
acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or divestitures; (10) our
dependence on U.S. government contracts; (11) our reliance on fixed-price
contracts; (12) our reliance on cost-type contracts; (13) contracts that
include in-orbit incentive payments; (14) unauthorized access to our, our
customers' and/or our suppliers' information and systems; (15) potential
business disruptions, including threats to physical security or our information
technology systems, extreme weather (including effects of climate change) or
other acts of nature, and pandemics or other public health crises; (16)
potential adverse developments in new or pending litigation and/or government
inquiries or investigations; (17) potential environmental liabilities; (18)
effects of climate change and legal, regulatory or market responses to such
change; (19) changes in our ability to obtain debt financing on commercially
reasonable terms, at competitive rates and in sufficient amounts; (20)
substantial pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; (21) the
adequacy of our insurance coverage; (22) customer and aircraft concentration in
our customer financing portfolio; and (23) work stoppages or other labor
disruptions.
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports
on Form 8-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise,
